The Homeowner's Guide to Renewable Energy: Achieving Energy Independence Through Solar, Wind, Biomass and Hydropower
The coming energy crisis caused by a peak in global oil and natural gas production will profoundly affect the lives of all North Americans. As the price of these vital fuels rises, homeowners will scramble to cut their fuel bills. Two options for meeting the upcoming challenge are dramatic improvements in home energy efficiency and efforts to tap into clean, affordable, renewable energy resources to heat and cool homes, to provide hot water and electricity, and even to cook. These measures can result in huge savings and a level of energy independence. "The Homeowner's Guide to Renewable Energy" tells you how. It starts by outlining the likely impacts of fossil fuel shortages and some basic facts about energy. It then discusses energy conservation to slash energy bills and prepare for renewable energy options. Focusing carefully on specific strategies needed to replace specific fuels, the book then examines each practical energy option available to homeowners: Solar hot water, cooking, and water purification Space heat: passive and active solar retrofits Wood heat Passive cooling Solar electricity Wind-generated electricity Electricity from microhydropower sources Emerging technologies-hydrogen, fuel cells, methane digesters, and biodiesel "The Homeowner's Guide to Renewable Energy" gives readers sufficient knowledge to hire and communicate effectively with contractors and, for those wanting do installations themselves, it recommends more detailed manuals. With a complete resource listing, this well-illustrated and accessible guide is a perfect companion for illuminating the coming dark age. Dan Chiras has studied renewable energy and energy efficiency for three decades and has installed several renewable energy systems. He lives in a self-designed passive solar/solar electric home. An award-winning author of over 20 books, he is a sustainability design consultant who teaches courses on renewable energy, green building, and sustainability at Colorado College.

Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw Iron
Almost two-thirds of the body's iron is found in hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to cells. A necessary trace element, iron is vital for producing ATP, the body's primary energy source and providing extra fuel to muscles during exertion. Iron is an integral part of many proteins and several enzymes in the human physiology and is essential for the regulation of cell growth. Playing an important role in the production of DNA, energy and cognitive function, iron is required for the health of the immune system.Why Vitamin Code RAW Iron?Garden of Life's RAW Iron is a comprehensive, whole-food, multi-nutrient formula made with RAW Food-Created Nutrients for targeted delivery of vitamins and minerals, particularly iron, vitamin B12, vitamin C and folic acid. Individually cultivated with their unique Code Factors intact, the RAW Food-Created Nutrients in Vitamin Code formulas enable natural recognition of nutrients by your body, just as nature intended. Code Factors are the known and yet to be discovered synergistic compounds found in food and are necessary for proper nutrient delivery. Providing these Code Factors infuses the essential elements of whole-foods that the body thrives upon. Supporting mental and physical energy; heart, blood, eye, skin and reproductive health, Vitamin Code RAW Iron also provides immune system support.Vitamin Code RAW Iron is RAW, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and contains no binders or fillers. Taking this RAW iron formula to the next level, Vitamin Code RAW Iron also provides a RAW probiotic and enzyme blend along with a RAW organic fruit and vegetable blend for additional nutritional support.The Benefits of Adding Vitamin B12, Folic Acid and Vitamin C to Vitamin Code RAW IronIn nature, individual vitamins and minerals rarely work alone to accomplish their tasks. Instead they rely on the help of other vitamins, minerals and co-factors. Our Vitamin Code RAW Iron is formulated to include these additional nutrients to more efficiently perform its vital functions in the body.Vitamin B12 and folic acid work together in the production of red blood cells and complement iron's function in the formation of hemoglobin, all of which support healthy blood and a healthy heart.Taking vitamin C along with iron enhances iron absorption. Additionally, vitamin C is integral to building and maintaining collagen, a protein that holds the body's cells in place, including blood vessels, supporting healthy blood and a healthy heart.Who May Benefit from Vitamin Code RAW Iron? Vegetarians and Vegans. Because this group consumes less absorbable iron, it is especially important for them to be aware of possible iron deficiency due to the lack of red meat, fish and poultry in their diets. Iron deficiency can result in fatigue, decreased work performance, diminished cognitive function and a compromised immune system. Vitamin Code RAW Iron is both Vegan and Vegetarian-friendly making it an excellent choice for these individuals. Women of child-bearing age (additional iron required to compensate for menstrual blood loss and tissue growth during pregnancy) Gastric bypass surgery individuals (more susceptible to iron deficiency) Blood donors Athletes who undergo strenuous exercise Individuals with health conditions that cause blood loss or malabsorptionVitamin Code RAW Iron Nature-Intended Benefits: RAW - Vegan Healthy Heart & Blood Immune Support Reproductive System Healthy Skin & Eyes Mental & Physical Energy

Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps 18-in-1 Hemp Pure-Castile Liquid Soap - Peppermint (Organic)
Creates an exhilirating tingly-cool body space and increases vitality and clarity.New for the Pure-Castile Liquid Soaps: Hemp oil- We have added saponified hemp oil in our liquid soap in place of jojoba for a creamier, milder lather. Hemp has a remarkable number of beneficial uses for the whole Earth, and its rich fatty acids make our soap better than ever. Rosemary Extract- We are now using rosemary extract as a natural antioxidant to protect freshness. It gives a slight color to the soap as well. All contents of our soaps are explicitly stated. We use absolutely no detergents or foaming agents. Water is needed to saponify oils. Saponified Coconut-Hemp-Olive Oils (i.e. Potassium Cocoate-Hempate-Olivate) are the soaps which make up our pure-castile soap base: the coconut soap generates the high-lather cleansing, and the hemp and olive soaps create the emollient mildness. Glycerin is naturally liberated during saponification of whole oils: unlike most commercial soap makers who distill glycerin out of their soaps to sell, we retain it in our soap for its superb moisturizing qualities. Aloe Vera is excellent for sensitive skin: we use properly processed active aloe vera in effective quantity. Olive Fatty Acids are superfatted into the soap to increase mildness and enrich the lather.

Gerry Davis named home plate ump
NEW YORK -- Gerry Davis will be the home plate umpire for next week's All-Star Game, the second time as crew chief for the 29-year veteran.
Davis, who also worked the plate for the infamous 7-7, 11-inning tie at Milwaukee in 2002, will be joined next Tuesday in Kansas City by Jim Joyce (first), Brian Runge (second), Tony Randazzo (third), Lance Barksdale (left) and Brian Knight (right).
Runge was behind the plate this year for a perfect game by the Chicago White Sox's Philip Humber on April 21 and a six-pitcher no-hitter by Seattle on June 8. He was at third base for a perfect game by San Francisco's Matt Cain on June 13.
Major League Baseball said Tuesday the official scorers will be Bob Dutton of The Kansas City Star, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times and Royals scorer Del Black.

Album: Kathleen Edwards, Voyageur (Rounder)
For her fourth album, Canadian singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards has drafted in Bon Iver's Justin Vernon as co-producer, along with guest singers and musicians including Norah Jones and S Carey.
The result is a work with greater resonance and presence, which might secure her mainstream success. Her songwriting talent isn't in doubt, as she explores desire in evocative terms – the two lost souls characterised as "Sidecars"; the preferred locations of "A Soft Place to Land" being "the forest floor, the palms of your hands". Vernon helps couch her imagery in glistening arrangements which, save for the occasional burst of Neil Young-style guitar, make her sound like Suzanne Vega produced by Daniel Lanois, her strummed guitar burnished with glints of steel guitar and ambient whines.

Fights, gunfire break out as N.O. slips into anarchy; mayor issues desperate SOS
By ADAM NOSSITER
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS - Storm victims were raped and beaten, fights and fires broke out, rotting corpses lay in the open, and rescue helicopters and law enforcement officers were shot at as hurricane-flooded New Orleans descended into anarchy. ''This is a desperate SOS,'' the mayor said.
Anger mounted Thursday across the ruined city, with thousands of Hurricane Katrina victims increasingly hungry, desperate and tired of waiting for buses to take them out.
''We are out here like pure animals. We don't have help,'' the Rev. Isaac Clark, 68, said outside the New Orleans Convention Center, where corpses lay in the open and the and other evacuees complained that they were dropped off and given nothing - no food, no water, no medicine.
''We have individuals who are getting raped, we have individuals who are getting beaten,'' Compass said. ''Tourists are walking in that direction and they are getting preyed upon.''
In hopes of defusing the unrest at the convention center, Mayor Ray Nagin gave the refugees permission to march across a bridge to the city's unflooded west bank for whatever relief they can find. But the bedlam at the convention center appeared to make leaving difficult.
A military helicopter tried to land at the convention center several times to drop off food and water. But the rushing crowd forced the choppers to back off. Troopers then tossed the supplies to the crowd from 10 feet (3 meters) off the ground and flew away.
National Guardsmen poured in to help restore order and put a stop to the looting, carjackings and gunfire that have gripped New Orleans in the days since Hurricane Katrina plunged much of the city under water.
In a statement to CNN, Nagin said: ''This is a desperate SOS. Right now we are out of resources at the convention center and don't anticipate enough buses. We need buses. Currently the convention center is unsanitary and unsafe and we're running our of supplies.''
In Washington, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the government is sending in 1,400 National Guardsmen a day to help stop looting and other lawlessness in New Orleans. Already, 2,800 National Guardsmen are in the city, he said.
But some 3,700 soldiers from the Louisiana National Guard have been in combat for nearly a year in Iraq.
Congress rushed to provide a $10.5 billion (euro8.48 billion) down payment in relief aid. The Senate approved the measure Thursday night, and the House will convene at noon on Friday to speed the measure to Bush's desk.
Across the flooded-out city, the rescuers themselves came under attack from storm victims.
''Hospitals are trying to evacuate,'' said Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Cheri Ben-Iesan, spokesman at the city emergency operations center. ''At every one of them, there are reports that as the helicopters come in people are shooting at them. There are people just taking potshots at police and at helicopters, telling them, 'You better come get my family.'''
Some Federal Emergency Management rescue operations were suspended in areas where gunfire has broken out, Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said in Washington. ''In areas where our employees have been determined to potentially be in danger, we have pulled back,'' he said.
A National Guard military policeman was shot in the leg as he and a man scuffled for the MP's rifle, police Capt. Ernie Demmo said. The man was arrested.
Outside the Convention Center, the sidewalks were packed with people without food, water or medical care, and with no sign of law enforcement. Thousands of storm refugees had been assembling outside for days, waiting for buses that did not come.
At least seven bodies were scattered outside, and hungry people broke through the steel doors to a food service entrance and began pushing out pallets of water and juice and whatever else they could find.
An old man in a chaise lounge lay dead in a grassy median as hungry babies wailed around him. Around the corner, an elderly woman lay dead in her wheelchair, covered with a blanket, and another body lay beside her wrapped in a sheet.
''I don't treat my dog like that,'' 47-year-old Daniel Edwards said as he pointed at the woman in the wheelchair. ''I buried my dog.'' He added: ''You can do everything for other countries but you can't do nothing for your own people. You can go overseas with the military but you can't get them down here.''
The street outside the center, above the floodwaters, smelled of urine and feces, and was choked with dirty diapers, old bottles and garbage.
''They've been teasing us with buses for four days,'' Edwards said.
People chanted, ''Help, help!'' as reporters and photographers walked through. The crowd got angry when journalists tried to photograph one of the bodies, and covered it over with a blanket. A woman, screaming, went on the front steps of the convention center and led the crowd in reciting the 23rd Psalm.
John Murray, 52, said: ''It's like they're punishing us.''
The Superdome, where some 25,000 people were being evacuated by bus to the Houston Astrodome, descended into chaos as well.
Huge crowds, hoping to finally escape the stifling confines of the stadium, jammed the main concourse outside the dome, spilling out over the ramp to the Hyatt hotel next door - a seething sea of tense, unhappy, people packed shoulder-to-shoulder up to the barricades where heavily armed National Guardsmen stood.
At the front of the line, heavily armed policemen and guardsmen stood watch and handed out water as tense and exhausted crowds struggled onto buses. At the back end of the line, people jammed against police barricades in the rain. Luggage, bags of clothes, pillows, blankets were strewn in the puddles.
Many people had dogs and they cannot take them on the bus. A police officer took one from a little boy, who cried until he vomited. The policeman told a reporter he didn't know what would happen to the dog.
Fights broke out. A fire erupted in a trash chute inside the dome, but a National Guard commander said it did not affect the evacuation. After a traffic jam kept buses from arriving at the Superdome for nearly four hours, a near-riot broke out in the scramble to get on the buses that finally did show up.
Col. Henry Whitehorn, head of state police, said authorities are working on establishing a temporary jail to hold people accused of looting and other crimes. ''These individuals will not take control of the city of New Orleans,'' he said.
The first of hundreds of busloads of people evacuated from the Superdome arrived early Thursday at their new temporary home - another sports arena, the Houston Astrodome, 350 miles (563kilometers) away.
But the ambulance service in charge of taking the sick and injured from the Superdome suspended flights after a shot was reported fired at a military helicopter. Richard Zuschlag, chief of Acadian Ambulance, said it was too dangerous for his pilots.
The military, which was overseeing the removal of the able-bodied by buses, continued the ground evacuation without interruption, said National Guard Lt. Col. Pete Schneider. The government had no immediate confirmation of whether a military helicopter was fired on.
Terry Ebbert, head of the city's emergency operations, warned that the slow evacuation at the Superdome had become an ''incredibly explosive situation,'' and he bitterly complained that FEMA was not offering enough help.
''This is a national emergency. This is a national disgrace,'' he said. ''FEMA has been here three days, yet there is no command and control. We can send massive amounts of aid to tsunami victims, but we can't bail out the city of New Orleans.''
In Texas, the governor's office said Texas has agreed to take in an additional 25,000 refugees from Katrina and plans to house them in San Antonio, though exactly where has not been determined. Texas has committed to taking 50,000 refugees.
In Washington, the White House said President George W. Bush will tour the devastated Gulf Coast region on Friday and has asked his father and former President Bill Clinton to lead a private fund-raising campaign for victims.
The president urged a crackdown on the lawlessness.
''I think there ought to be zero tolerance of people breaking the law during an emergency such as this _ whether it be looting, or price gouging at the gasoline pump, or taking advantage of charitable giving or insurance fraud,'' Bush said. ''And I've made that clear to our attorney general. The citizens ought to be working together.''
Bush also had advice for consumers alarmed by spiraling gaoline prices: ''Don't buy gas if you don't need it.''
On Wednesday, Mayor Ray Nagin offered the most startling estimate yet of the magnitude of the disaster: Asked how many people died in New Orleans, he said: ''Minimum, hundreds. Most likely, thousands.'' The death toll has already reached at least 126 in Mississippi.
If the estimate proves correct, it would make Katrina the worst natural disaster in the United States since at least the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, which was blamed for anywhere from about 500 to 6,000 deaths. Katrina would also be the nation's deadliest hurricane since 1900, when a storm in Galveston, Texas, killed between 6,000 and 12,000 people.
Nagin called for a total evacuation of New Orleans, saying the city had become uninhabitable for the 50,000 to 100,000 who remained behind after the city of nearly a half-million people was ordered cleared out over the weekend.
The mayor said that it will be two or three months before the city is functioning again and that people would not be allowed back into their homes for at least a month or two.
''We need an effort of 9-11 proportions,'' former New Orleans Mayor Marc Morial, now president of the Urban League, said on NBC's ''Today'' show.
''A great American city is fighting for its life,'' he added. ''We must rebuild New Orleans, the city that gave us jazz, and music, and multiculturalism.''

Denholme woman's family of six to skydive together
10:00am Friday 20th September 2013 in News
A planned skydive over Bridlington tomorrow will be a family affair for a woman who lives and works in Denholme.
Liz Beaumont, of Longhouse Lane, will take the plunge along with her two sons, her brother, nephew and niece.
Six friends of the family will also take part.
Mrs Beaumont, who works in the Denholme Co-op store, is being sponsored to raise money for the Denholme Shared Church windows appeal. She has been involved with the church for 30 years.
She said her family members will be raising cash to support medical research into a variety of serious illnesses, including cancer. Her husband, Peter Beaumont, died of a heart attack last Christmas after suffering from lung cancer.
She said: "I'm looking forward to it. I've got a good number of people sponsoring me and the support from Co-op customers has been brilliant."

LTO chief: Gambling video 'done with malice'
-A A +AMonday, September 2, 2013
LAND Transportation Office (LTO) chief Virginia Torres on Monday said that the YouTube video of her circulating online showing her in front of a slot machine was "done with malice."
Torres said this at the budget briefing of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) held by the House committee on appropriations. LTO is an agency under the DOTC headed by Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya.
During the budget hearing, Kabataan party-list Representative Terry Ridon said in jest that staff inside the House of Representatives were looking for her during the roll call and that he overhead one saying, "Nasaan si Ma'
am Torres? Baka nasa casino."
"That is not considered a casino… I have requested the DOTC to make an investigation," Torres said.
In the video, the LTO chief was seen sitting in front of a slot machine at an undisclosed casino.
Abaya said the DOTC legal department has started its investigation although Torres was not advised to take a leave pending the conclusion of the matter.
"We're definitely investigating her. Definitely that's an issue we couldn't sweep under the rug. I mean, we don't sweep issues in DOTC under the rug. It is definitely going to be addressed. You have my word," the DOTC Secretary said.
Torres has been reportedly ousted from the religious group Iglesia ni Cristo after the video surfaced online.
Memorandum Circular 8 issued by the Palace on August 28, 2001 prohibits government personnel from playing in gambling casinos. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)

Clearwater Beach boardwalk faces high hurdles
- Margaret Cashill
- Staff Writer- Tampa Bay Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
A proposed boardwalk could inspire foot traffic, boost nearby businesses and bring tourists to new parts of Clearwater Beach.
First, the development will require environmental approvals and the cooperation of property owners.
As WTSP reported Monday, the Clearwater Marina Boardwalk District is part of Clearwater's "Beach By Design" plan.
The boardwalk would run from a public plaza on Memorial Causeway north for about three blocks to Baymont Street.
"Where feasible the boardwalk should be constructed completely over the water rather than on uplands," a city planning document said.
In a booming environment for tourism, supporters see an opportunity to offer amenities for tourists and pave the way for new restaurants and lodging options.
The project also could create traffic and other logistical challenges for the already-bustling area.
"It will take a concerted effort in the private sector as well as with the city," said Bob Clifford, president and CEO of the Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce. "Obviously there's concern with residents of Clearwater Beach being able to function. You want to be sensitive to residential development."
Conceptually the boardwalk is a "nice idea," but Billy Day, owner of East Shore Resort, questions whether it will ever be a reality.
Day has run East Shore, a property with 14 apartment-style units on both sides of East Shore Drive, since 1986.
In 2010, he opened a marina after two-and-one-half years of permitting and planning.
Day said he had to obtain numerous environmental approvals to build, and would expect a project the scale of the boardwalk to encounter much higher hurdles, as well as eminent domain issues.
Margaret Cashill's beats include technology, hospitality, retail and restaurants.

A few are Laura Marling. Jamie T, Kate Nash and David Bowie.
This is my favourite magazine due to the vast amount of important articles they have produced many that involve human rights, equality and politics in relation to society whilst still being a fashion magazine.
Many British films
Images of men and women primarily celebrities being photo shopped for things like adverts I believe it creates unobtainable images of people that the audience try to replicate even if this has negative affects on their health or well-being.
Robin: 'Do you STILL get that?'
Josie: 'DO I STILL GET THAT, of course I fucking get that, every fucking day of my fucking life.'
Stewart: 'That there's no funny women?'
Josie: 'Yes. "There's no funny women, are there, isn't that funny!" "Isn't it funny being a girl", "Girls always talk about strange things", "I don't like women but I like you" EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE.'"—Josie Long, Robin Ince and Stewart Lee discussing sexism in comedy on Josie and Robin's Utter Shambles podcast. (via linseyelizabeth)
The media tend to be judgemental to women in comedy they base their performance on their appearance sometimes more than their actual talent.
I have a great deal of respect for many women in comedy I will post a few links of some of my favourite…
For those who know me well know that I am a big fan of a great deal of British comedy weather it be a recent Sitcom such as 'Peep show' or from the eighties 'The Young Ones'
'The Young ones arrive in the eighties and due to its at times violent behaviour and swearing was branded as alternative comedy. Although it can be shocking at times it would have little impact on today's society as it has become the mainstream. The same contributors to this sitcom and others created 'The comic strip presents…' A comedy film narrative in less than an hour.
There are many aspects of the media that I believe to be entirely beneficial to the media. Although there are also some of which can be highly detrimental.
In this blog I shall document the aspects I admire and that inspire me and also the ideologies and tools in the media that I find abhorrent. Enjoy!

Boston's Logan Airport dedicates 9/11 memorial
On Sept. 9, Logan International Airport officially opened and dedicated a $3.5 million memorial honoring those who perished on 9/11, specifically the 147 victims of American Flight 11 and United Flight 175, both of which took off from Boston.
At the entry, you choose one of two winding paths, both of which culminate at a large glass cube. The cube itself is simple, understated, made of greenish glass and bright steel. Within the cube are two tall, rectangular plaques—reminiscent of the twin towers—made from smoky green glass, each of which lists the victims and departure time of one of the two flights. Above, square pieces of glass are strung along wires like paper lanterns, creating an ethereal false ceiling of sky and glass meant to evoke falling shards of debris at Ground Zero, according to a Sept. 11 SmarterTravel.com report.

Elsir Vale City of Brindol
Oh, this is just stupid!! durgin, if you don't pipe down, you will be forcably restrained. If that means we have to beat you into unconciousness, so be it. I've got a sap here in my hand and will knock you silly if you don't start behaving yourself!!
if he makes one more move to get the ring, I'll smack him in the ear. (I"m still invisible, so it should still be a sneak attack!)
I 5-foot step back and cast Mage Hand which I use to take the ring about 20 feet in the air.
I just wish to examine it Durgin. We really do not want to harm you, but shall if necessary to protect this village and the vale. Now sit down or Mantooth will have to make sure you stay sitting. He has already bested you once and is far more skilled with his blade now than he was then.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Whisper - "Tirion, I'm not sensing any evil from Durgin himself but the ring does have a moderate aura of evil, so be warned."
Mantooth nods to what Tirion said and motions for the farmer to sit down. "Durgin, please, have a seat. We mean you no harm, we are just worried about this ring - can you tell me where you got it, Durgin?"
Diplomacy 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Once the ring is out of his reach, Durgin sighs in frustration. Sitting down on his front steps with Mantooth and Mutamba nearby, he says,
"You just don't understand! It physically pains me to be without the ring! I just don't know why you want to keep it. So when are you going to give it back to me?"
You are not entirely clear on what this ring does, but it appears to be a cursed device that takes control of the recipient, possesses him and clearly makes the recipient dependent on the device.
"We mean you no harm, we are just worried about this ring - can you tell me where you got it, Durgin?""
Slowly calming himself down, Durgin's stutter begins to return.
"A b....b....b...beautiful woman in Brindol gave it too me. She w...w....was a m...merchant or something. She said that it would make me s.....s....strong and p...p....powerful."
Ok, Durgin. This ring is cursed. It has allowed someone to take control of you. I do not know who, and I understand your pain. But if you keep the ring, it will devour your soul and you will help the horde to overwhelm Drellin's Ferry and the Vale. I know that the real good Durgin would not wish this.
So, please tell me, who gave you this ring? Where did you get it from and more importantly when did you start working with the Barghest which we just killed? In addition, what other contact have you had with the horde?
I turn to Mutamba. You have been here longer that we. Do you know if there is anyone with magical or divine powers in this town who might be able to break a curse?
"When did you start working with the Barghest which we just killed? In addition, what other contact have you had with the horde?"
"I don't know w...w...w...what you are talking about. I don't w...wear it. I just keep it in my pocket. I also don't know what a b....b...Barghest is. I didn't think I had any contact with the horde."
We need to get the Captain here and we need to search your barn. Someone has been using you. And we want to make sure that they do not use you any more. We also want to make sure that when the horde arrives here, they have nothing but pain and death awaiting them, not a nice meal and lots of supplies.
I turn to Mutamba. You look quick, any chance you could run and get the Captain and any other town official who wishes to accompany her. I think we need to do some investigation.
While this is going on, and while I"m still invisible, I'll go to the barn and snoop around. :-)
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
The front door to the barn appears locked.
"I will retrieve her and see if there are any clergy of power in the area, also." With that Mutamba moves of at speed toward town to complete his mission.
well, I've been burned before. Search for traps:
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
if trapped: disable device 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39
and unlock it: disable device 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29
THEN search the barn with a quick once-over before a thorough one
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
You cross the ferry and soon arrive at the Old Toll House which serves as the town hall, courtyard, jail, and Town Guard Headquarters. You are met by Captain Soranna.
"Hello, Sir. I remember seeing you at the Old Bridge Inn, but I forget your name. So, who are you again? So tell me, Mister Nugutu, what can I do for you?"
You discover that the barn door is held shut with an arcane lock. However, with incredible skill, you disable the arcane lock and unlock the door to the barn.
Fortkeep Barn
Once the doors are open, you look within and notice several huge wooden crates stacked against the walls of the barn.
Huh. Arcane Lock--kid's stuff!!
I'll sashay into the barn, and see if I can discern anything interesting about either the contents of the crates, or anything like notebooks/ledgers, insignia, etc. Can I use my 27 perception from above?
"A beautiful merchant woman?" Mantooth asks in clarification. "Did she seem like a very wealthy individual? You don't happen to remember her name, Durgin?" Mantooth asks again nicely, trying to keep him focused.
Diplomacy 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Mantooth gives a brief look towards the barn and then turns back to Durgin. "You don't remember talking to any.. well, any dogs, do you Durgin?"
"Did she seem like a very wealthy individual? You don't happen to remember her name, Durgin?"
"She was s...s..smart, and beautiful, and well a little . . . . y...y..you know . . . s....s....s..seductive. Her voice was like a s....s..song. Her hair was d...dark and flowing and her ears were p...p...pointy like an elf. B...b...but she wasn't an elf. She a....aproached m...m....me on the s....s...street in Brindol m...m...market and offered m....m...me the ring She d...d...din't give a name."
"You don't remember talking to any.. well, any dogs, do you Durgin?"
"I d....d....don't usually t...t...talk to dogs, unless they are b...b...biting me. Then I tell them to s....s...s....sit."
Using a hammer found on one of the walls of the barn, you start to open the crates. Crate after crate seems to hold dozens of weapons made out of a red dull steel. They all appear very sharp and deadly.
"Captain, Mutamba Nugutu. I am happy to have found you so quickly. There was an attack near Durgin's farm by a shape shifting beast. Durgin himself seems to have been controlled by some sort of mind affecting ring. We raise your guard as quickly as possible as there may be major hole in our defenses that need sealing. I understand that is a good deal of information to process, but if there is a priest of power in the area we will be needing his assistance also."

I understand that is a good deal of information to process, but if there is a priest of power in the area we will be needing his assistance also."
"Thank you, Mutamba Nugutu, I will send for Brother Derny right away. He is near retirement, but I am sure he will be of help. I will get the good priest and meet you out at the Fortkeep farm shortly."
Bowing at the waist saying"Thank you,my lady. I shall inform my friends immediately.", Nugutu turns on his heel and sprints back to the farm to pass the word.
@ Tirion, Bofus, Durgin, and Mutamba
Captain Soranna, soon shows up at the Fortkeep farm with two other guards.
"Well met, gentlemen. What is this I hear about an attack by a shape shifting beast. Does this have to do with that massive bloody corpse of a beast we just passed along the side of the road?"
I assume that by this time, the invisibilty is worn off . . .
Ah, the beautiful and dangerous Captain Anitah! Always a pleasure. Well, it seems that we've stopped yet another dire threat! A combination of tenacity, uncanny skill, great martial prowess, and Desna's luck uncovered a plot most vile. . It appears that our good Durgin here was magically influenced by an item of evil power. We're still unclear on the details, but we've secured said item for fear of someone else falling under its influence. It looks as if Durgin doesn't remember any of what he did under this foul influence. Observe . . . . Oh, Durgin--now that the Captain is here, can you tell us--and be honest, mind!!--what is in the stacks of crates in yoru barn?
Since I know the truth--weapons--I want to get a read on whether I think he believes his answer. Sense motive on his answer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
the rest of this post will be under the assumtion that I think he's telling the truth about not knowing the true contents. If either of those conditions is NOT true, then the rest of this post won't make sense!! but i"M right, so I'll continue. hehe
Ah, very well. As you can see, Captain, he really believes what he's telling us. now, if you'll follow me . . .
I lead her to the barn, and dramatically uncover one of the crates. Behold!! Fine red steel weapons, meant for the Red Hand to resupply once they overrun Drellin's Ferry!! Durgin is a good man who loves his home; something or someone possessed him to conspire with the monsters. In fact, I witnessed him spekaing to that dog beast whose corpse you saw on the road in a language unbefitting mortal folk. We need to get to the bottom of who or what was possessing Durgin. And, we get the added bonus of a bunch of nice weapons to bring to Brindol to aid in defense!
I cross my arms with a very self-satisfied smile.
Maintaining a serious face, Mantooth continues. "Alright, that is good to hear, Durgin. Do you know any other languages than common?"
When the guards arrive and Bofus asks Durgin about the crates, Mantooth seconds his request for the truth. "Please, answer Bofus truthfully, Durgin, we are just trying to help you and keep the people of the town safe."
"Alright, that is good to hear, Durgin. Do you know any other languages than common?"
"Do y...y...you mean a language from a f....f...foreign country? No, I only speak c....c...common."
"Oh, Durgin--now that the Captain is here, can you tell us--and be honest, mind!!--what is in the stacks of crates in yoru barn?"
"The c...crates in the barn are for m...m...my tools for w....working. Is there something w....w...wrong with tools? So, Bofus, can I have m.....m....my ring back yet? I answered everything you a...a....asked."
"Please, answer Bofus truthfully, Durgin, we are just trying to help you and keep the people of the town safe."
"I am b....being honest, M..m...Mantooth. I d....don't have a t.....tool box, so I use m....m...m...my old crates."
I follow Bofus as he leads the way into the barn. I have Detect Magic going the whole time.
Upon seeing the weapons.
Guys, I have one serious question. Why would they need to store weapons here? The horde is already pretty well stocked. There must be a second unarmed part of the army. Possibly these undead from the north. I think that we need to meet up with Thordak and then get to this necromancer Wyrmlord and make sure that the dead stay dead.
I detect magic on these blades.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
If I have a few minutes, I will take 10 or 20 and just identify what they are. Guess I will not need to take 20 on that one.
Inspecting one of the red blades of steel, you realize that these blades are unlike anything you have seen before. The blade is cursed with a transmutation magic that causes the wielder of one of these red blades to grow in draconic power with each creature it kills. You believe that the wielder of this cursed blade would eventually, with enough kills, transform itself into one of the chromatic races of dragons, a creature similar if not the same as one of the blackspawn razorfiends you encountered back with the horde.
As Tirion examines the blades, you see his eyes widen in fear:
We must destroy all these blades. They are cursed to cause their wielders to slowly transform into some type of dragon spawn, or possible even a dragon. With each death caused by one of these blades, the creature wielding it will grow in draconic power.
These must be destroyed. If we cannot destroy them, then Captain, you will have to see that they are transported directly to Brindol to be destroyed.
The bigger question now is, who put them here. Captain, is there anyone in the village capable of removing a curse? If so, we must try to free Durgin from the curse that he is under. It is possible that he will remember details of what occurred once the curse is removed.
Also, Captain, were you aware of Durgin receiving any shipments recently? These assuredly did not just appear in his barn.
"Ah, the beautiful and dangerous Captain Anitah! Always a pleasure. Well, it seems that we've stopped yet another dire threat! A combination of tenacity, uncanny skill, great martial prowess, and Desna's luck uncovered a plot most vile. "
Soranna smiles at your compliment and replies, "You are most kind, Bofus Beerswizzler. I admit, Desna does seem to smile down upon you. Do all halflings have the same luck that you do?"
"Behold!! Fine red steel weapons, meant for the Red Hand to resupply once they overrun Drellin's Ferry!!"
"Impressive find, Bofus! They look like they will serve us well. We can supply many of the people of the Elsir Vale with these weapons and let them use these to defend their homeland!"
"By the Inheritor's justice, are you sure? When did you figure this out? I would never have guessed that a huge stash of draconic weapons would ever simply be stored here in Durgin's barn. Who could do such a thing? How do we know there are not stashes of these cursed blades in every barn?! So, what do we do with Durgin? He appears to be in the thick of this, yet he does not seem to have a clue as to any of this wickedness!"
"These must be destroyed. If we cannot destroy them, then Captain, you will have to see that they are transported directly to Brindol to be destroyed."
"Well, I agree that the Red Hand cannot get their hands on these blades! Just imagine what the soldiers would end of facing in Brindol by the time the horde hacked and slashed their way across the Elsir Vale!"
"I fear that we have not been vigilant with regards to searching shipments that have come along the Dawn Way. I never saw a reason to search them. However, in all truth, I would never have expected an angry horde numbering in the thousands to be approaching Drellin's Ferry either! In terms of removing the curse, well I am not the person to be asking that question. Mind you, I doubt that whoever planted these blades here would consider these items cursed. Whoever, left them here, knew very well that these would turn an army into an unstoppable force of dragon kin that would easily rule the country! There is evil at every turn, and once again, you have just foiled another thread in that plot. We cannot thank you folks enough!"
"The bigger question now is, who put them here. Captain, is there anyone in the village capable of removing a curse?"
"Well, we have never faced anyone or thing evil enough to craft such wicked weapons. Perhaps Brother Derny would be able to remove their curses."
"Also, Captain, were you aware of Durgin receiving any shipments recently? These assuredly did not just appear in his barn."
"We can certainly make some inquiries around town, but I cannot personally report any findings. To be honest, Durgin's farmhouse is a key location, because it is west of the guard post and anything shipped in from the west and north would not have had to pass by the guard's ever watchful eye! Mind you, I have no idea where these weapons originated from."
"Perhaps Brother Derny would be able to remove their curses."
"Don't look at me! I wouldn't know where to begin removing such curses. Almighty Dawnflower, help us with your light!"
You know, these weapons might be even meant to be found. Think about it. If they are crafted to turn the wielders into evil dragons, then they might be intended to be found and used so as to turn the citizens of the Vale into mindless dragon soldiers even as they think that they are fighting to defend the Vale.
As to how I know what these are, I have spent years studying magic and my connection to draconic magic. Frequently I can sense the type of magic that is involved in an item. In the case of these swords it is a transmutation magic - just as it was with the ring that Durgin was possessed by. It is clear that they are trying to take control and weaken our defenses before we even begin to set up.
We must get these swords across the river. We will find space on a wagon. If necessary, I can summon mounts that can be used to pull the heavy wagons and assist in evacuation.
Turning back to Brother Derny: I understand that the magic on these blades is a powerful curse. However, the more important issue is whether you can break the curse that is currently affecting Durgin. I do not think that he is working with the Horde, and that he is affected by a nasty curse from the ring we found on him.
"D....d...don't listen to the gnome. I am not c....c...cursed. I just w....w...w.want my ring back! Can I have it now?!"
"I understand that the magic on these blades is a powerful curse. However, the more important issue is whether you can break the curse that is currently affecting Durgin. I do not think that he is working with the Horde, and that he is affected by a nasty curse from the ring we found on him."
"So, my child, what seems to be the trouble with the farmer? He's always had the stutter for as long as I can remember."
Actually, his stutter has stopped several times. I do not know whether that is connected though. More importantly, he had this ring - I show the ring which is still being held up in the air. I determine that it is magic and cursed. It seems to allow someone to take control of the user and also makes the user desire, in a desperate way, to keep the ring on his or her person.
"Durgin I will incapcitate you for your own good if you insist on continuing these outburst. You must listen that this ring is causing someone to make you do things tht will requre to kill you in order to further protect the village."
"I am t...t...trying to be good, but I w...w....w..was told that I would get the ring b...b...back, but nobody listens to me! I n..n....need it! It w...w...was stolen from me! P....Please give it back! I w...w...won't wear it! I just want to h...h...hold it!"
You were told you'd get the ring back IF it was just a simple token from a girl. It is not. This ring . . . *sigh* there's no reasoning here. brother Derney, do you know a spell that might break the enchantment Durgni appears to be under? . He does appear to be under an enchantmet, or curse, right? I mean, I was wrong about the weapons--holy crap, it's a good thing I didn't take one!!--how do we deal with the Sour One over here
if anyone gets that obscure and very iffy pun, you get +10 awesome points
"I assure you, I am not c...c...c..cursed! Why do you insist that I am? You are i...i...i..i...ignoring everything I say! Just because I want my p...p....p...property that is lawfully mine, does not make me c...c....c..cursed. If somebody stole a g...g...g..gem from you Bofus, does it make you cursed simply b..b...b.... because you want it back? N....N....N...No. Now, why don't you all t...t....t....treat me with the same r...r...r...respect?!"
You're forgetting, Durgin and I make sure the Captain hears this too that *I saw you* speaking to that dog creature in your barn, and there is a stash of weapons in your barn that *I heard you* talking about being for the Red Hand. Either you were under some magial influence durnig that whole episode (and the procurement of those weapons), or you are an EXCEPTIONAL liar. Which of those two choices are correct?? Sir Longbrow has determined that ring to have evil power. You being cursed is a logical conclusion. . I'm insisting you're cursed because the alternative is that you're not. That you're acting of your own free will to aid the invasion of your town. That you're a part of the army of death that's descending on us!! I'm insisting that you're cursed because I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.
I turn to the priest. Brother, have you prepared any spells this day that can discern whether someone is lying? Because I will gladly subject my self to that spell, and I suggest Durgin does the same. I recommend using that now. And if I know magic spells--someone correct me if I'm wrong--if either I or Durgin tries to resist the magic, you'll know we're resisting? What do you say, Durgin? You up for that?
Sense motive on Durgin again: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
"Brother, have you prepared any spells this day that can discern whether someone is lying? Because I will gladly subject my self to that spell, and I suggest Durgin does the same. I recommend using that now. And if I know magic spells--someone correct me if I'm wrong--if either I or Durgin tries to resist the magic, you'll know we're resisting?"
"I cannot claim to be an inquisitor. The Dawnflower has a much gentler approach. However, I do have a spell that will allow me to discern a lie. If I concentrate upon a recipient who deliberately and knowingly speaks a lie, I will be able to discern disturbances in its aura caused by lying. Mind you, the spell does not reveal the truth, uncover unintentional inaccuracies, or necessarily reveal evasions, but it may still serve your purpose. If you are interested, I would be willing to try."
"You're forgetting, Durgin," and I make sure the Captain hears this too "that *I saw you* speaking to that dog creature in your barn, and there is a stash of weapons in your barn that *I heard you* talking about being for the Red Hand."
"That is a lie! I d..d...d.do not talk with dogs. Ask M...M....M...Mantooth! He knows I don't s...s...s...speak to them unless they are b..b...b. biting me. That is w..w...w..when I say sit! I do not know where the w...w...w...w.weapons came from. I think somebody put them there when I w...w..w..w...wasn't looking! I also t...t...told you. I g..g...get red hands when I w..w...work, but you said that w...w...was not a crime!"
"What do you say, Durgin? You up for that?"
"I have nothing to f...f...f..fear, and I am not lying, so I will t...t...t..take your t...t....test. However, why don't you j...j...j..just let me hold the ring, so I can relax again as I answer y.....y...y..your questions in p....p...peace?!"
Well, Brother, I'm sure we can all agree to answer questions clearly--"yes" and "no" when appropriate, elaborating only when it's necessary? . Durgin, will you believe Brother Derny if he tells you I'm telling the truth? I'll tell the whole story again. And maybe you can tell us more about the ring, and about what you've been doing today, and how those crates came into your barn? . Is everyone agreed? Brother, Captain? Durgin??
"Is everyone agreed? Brother, Captain? Durgin??"
Brother Derny, Captain Soranna, and Durgin all not their agreement.
Tirion stands back and watches the going ons expecting Bofus to be proven correct.
"Before I answer your q...q...questions, may I please hold the ring! It has given m..m....m...me strength in difficult times, and I am not feeling all m..m...m..m..myself right now!"
Durgin, read my lips. THE RING IS EVIL!! Your friend, the paladin Sir Longbrow, has determined it is evil!! Brother Derny, am I lying?!?! I'm afraid that if you get this ring back, you're going to be hurt--or someone else will. Doesnt' the fact that you feel like you need it so badly TELL you anything??? (I'm not lying)
*deep breath* Let me start by saying I saw you, Durgin Fortkeep, in your barn speaking to a creature that looked like a dog--in fact its corpse is down the road a spell. You were discussing what you have stored in your barn--weapons and other stores--specifically for the Red Hand invasion force. The good Brother will tell you I'm not lying here. Now, do you have any answer to this? What do you recall doing this morning during the time that I am sayign I saw you conferring with a monster??
"Doesnt' the fact that you feel like you need it so badly TELL you anything???"
"Well, perhaps I have become a little d...d...d...dependent on it, but like I said, I am n....n...n..not really using it. I just keep it in my pocket. Just because it is e...e...evil, I don't see why I still c...c...can't have it! Especially if I d....d...don't use it!"
"Now, do you have any answer to this? What do you recall doing this morning during the time that I am sayign I saw you conferring with a monster??"
"After I left the Old Bridge Inn where we m...met, I came b...b...b..back home to pack my things. I was p..p....p..p..planning on evacuating with the rest of the town. So, I was g...getting my clothes together."
Well, Brother? Is Durgin telling the truth?
"So far, I am not detecting anything unusual with his aura. Everything he says, he believes to be true."

Sarb wrote this review Saturday, September 28, 2013. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No"(Spoilers) As much as I loved Shatter Me, I was comparatively really disappointed by Unravel Me. I still liked it -- I've always loved Mafi's writing style and Juliette's inner voice. But there were almost too many things in this installment that annoyed me, for me to truly love the book.
Most of those things revolved around Juliette and her actions. While she was getting stronger, I was so annoyed by her constant need to act whiny and mopey everytime something bad happened. Like, I get it. Life sucks, and for her, it sucked a bit more than most. But I don't want to read about her need to curl up into a ball and cry, every few pages.
Also, I really dislike love triangles, especially in YA (the one exception I can think of is in Cassandra Clare's The Infernal Devices series. And the biggest thing that bugged me about this book was Juliette's relationship with Warner. Don't get me wrong, though -- I adore Warner. As a character, he's so interesting, and I loved reading Destroy Me and getting to change my opinion about him. I even loved his chemistry with Juliette. But I just don't like Juliette and Warner together (sorry to those shippers, but that's just my opinion, and I'm not trying to be offensive). I honestly didn't see the development of Juliette's feelings for him -- I get that she was attracted to him, but it almost came out of nowhere. Mafi barely spent any time letting us see her feelings for him grow.
Personally, I love Adam -- and I love Adam with Juliette. But his role in this book was almost nonexistent. Mafi completely ignored his character in this book, and it made no sense. I would argue that it was actually a flaw in her writing, because it felt as if she was trying much too hard to introduce Warner as a love interest. In order to get Juliette to a point where she could "hook up" with Warner, Mafi had to make her act completely irrational with Adam, to the point where she wasn't even WILLING to try and be with him, eventually. Maybe that was what really bugged me -- Mafi didn't really try to show any character or plot development, so stuff like that felt clumsy and poorly done.
Mostly, I found the entire book to be a step behind the first book, and even the ending failed to convince me that Juliette had actually become THAT much stronger over the course of the storyline. I won't rant on about this book, because I don't think I can be objective enough about it, but I will just say this: I truly hope that the last book in this trilogy will be better than the second one."

The premiere championship event of rodeo takes the 10-day National Finals Rodeo, or NFR, to UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center every year during the first week of December.
Since it's inauguration in 1931 the Houston Rodeo has kept true to the State slogan, "everythings bigger in Texas", becoming the worlds largest live entertainment and livestock exhibition.
The action at a PBR event will leave you with sweaty palms on the edge of your seat as these dare-devils attempt to ride some of the most ferocious bulls in the world.
Nothing say's rodeo like the heart of the lone star state. The Capital of Texas has been preserving the cowboy culture since 1938 when the first Austin livestock show and rodeo took place.
Self-proclamied as "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth", the Calgary Stampede attracts over a million attendants per year.
There is nothing like a south Texas rodeo and San Antonio mixes up the best flavor around. From country music to bull riding Rodeo SA has it all.
The Covered Wagon Days of 1847 was the first rodeo in celebration of Utah's heritage. Today the Days of '47 Rodeo celebrates over 160 years of tradition.

APR Performance Toyota Body Kits
APR Performance Toyota body kits are custom exterior parts that can be used to revise and revitalize a car's {exterior appearance. After years of usage, the exterior parts on many cars begins to look outdated. Any damage to a car's paint job or to the exterior parts themselves can depreciate a car's resale value, making the use of body kit is just that much more important. A body kit can change a car appear better, without changing any of the actual mechanics of the vehicle.
Some aftermarket APR Performance Toyota bodykits upgrades come with replacements for a couple of exterior parts, bumper covers and side panels. These are the places of a car that are often damaged from daily driving, but they alone aren't the only parts that could be easily replaced. Other custom body paneling can be used to upgrade a car's appearance, so APR Performance Toyota bodykits can often be customized to a car owner's specific needs. For an improved appearance that takes off the old looks resulting from years of driving, a cool bodykits can make you smile.

The Miami New Times had initially published documents obtained from Biogenesis of America, the now-defunct anti-aging clinic in Miami run by Anthony Bosch, revealing a host of athletes that were provided performance-enhancing drugs.
Rodriguez was among the names the Miami New Times published, while others were redacted.
"60 Minutes" said Friday it learned that Rodriguez's camp obtained the unredacted copies -- featuring the names of Braun and Cervelli -- and gave them to Yahoo! Sports.
Braun and Cervelli had initially acknowledged a relationship with Bosch and his clinic, but denied using PEDs. Both were suspended this summer as part of Major League Baseball's investigation of Biogenesis. Braun was suspended 65 games on July 22 and Cervelli was among the 12 players receiving a 50-game penalty on Aug. 5.
Rodriguez, meanwhile, is playing for the Yankees after appealing his 211-game suspension.
"60 Minutes" also received a statement from Rodriguez's lawyer, denying the latest allegations.
"The allegations are untrue and are another attempt to harm Alex -- this time by driving a wedge between Alex and other players in the game," said David Cornwell. "While Alex focuses on baseball and repeatedly states that he is going to respect the appeal process, the drumbeat of false allegations continues."
Rodriguez, who was sidelined for the first four months of the season while recovering from hip surgery and a controversial quad issue, will continue to play while his appeal process continues.
