Bow Hunting
In Nova Scotia
Sitting in the quiet open space of the lush forest, I wonder how I will react when my opportunity arises. For the next several days, I am afforded the same thought while wondering through the woods of the Chignecto Forest Management Area outside Parsboro, the only haven for bow hunters in Nova Scotia. This was my first bow hunt and, as I was to discover, far from my last.
It is now eighteen years later as I look back upon those days, with a fondness for the sport of bow hunting I could not have imagined. Each season that passed has brought new respect for the game hunted and for the method that I have the privilege to enjoy. Not every bow hunter is afforded the opportunities that are enjoyed in Nova Scotia. Long gone are the days of sitting around the campfires wondering if bow hunters will be accepted as hunters in Nova Scotia. Much has changed over the years in this province including the way bow hunting is viewed.
Bow hunting took a turn in Nova Scotia around 1969 when Chignecto opened for bow hunting only. More people joined the ranks of the little known sport to take advantage of the Chignecto hunt where you could wear full camouflage clothing and not compete with rifle hunting. Many had the preconceived idea that fencing surrounded this area and therefore, the deer inside were plentiful and tame. It is well known that this area of the province does not have excellent deer habitat keeping herds in check year around with large snowfall amounts and short summers. Chignecto encompasses approximately eighty-five square miles of forest that was, until recent years, harvested in minimal amounts.
At that time there were few game laws governing bow hunting without a reliable voice to attain gains for those who persisted in the sport. If your bow registered a minimum of forty pounds within your draw length, your broadheads weighed at least one hundred grains cutting a diameter of at least one-inch and not barbed, you could legally bow hunt. Hunting with a bow was only allowed during the general open season under the same regulations as gun hunters. Late in 1978 a small assembly of thirteen dedicated and concerned bow hunters decided to do something about it. They forged ahead to form a legal voice named by them as the
Bowhunters Association of Nova Scotia
Since its conception, bow hunting in this province has changed for the benefit of all that persist in hunting game with a bow. At the forefront in decision making for BANS was, and continues to be, conservation and hunter safety. One of the first objectives for this organization was to improve the safety course taken by bow hunters. At that time this consisted of nothing more than hitting three out of five arrows at a two foot square target and answering a few basic survival and safety questions. Clearly, this was not acceptable. New arrivals to the sport would not have the opportunity to learn proper methods of bow hunting, sharpening broadheads (the disposable blade types were not widely available then), learn laws regarding bow hunting and correct tree stand safety guidelines (a popular method used for hunting deer among bow hunters).
In consultation with BANS, the Department of Lands and Forests (now the
Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources
) searched for a reliable course to cover the information needed and written material to accompany it. After a short time a group that originated in the USA, named the
National Bowhunter Education Foundation
(I.B.E.F.), was contacted to see if their course was up to par. Not only was the course found to surpass the requirements, it was accepted internationally by several other countries.
Nova Scotia adopted the International Bowhunter Education Program (I.B.E.P.) in 1979 and remained the only province in Canada where the course was mandatory until New Brunswick required it in 1995. Some members of BANS became the first instructors to teach this program in Nova Scotia and at present all
Nova Scotia I.B.E.P. instructors (Note: This link is broken and a new link will be added when provided)
remain BANS members. In order to bow hunt in Nova Scotia it is compulsory to show proof of passing the I.B.E.P. course.
With an excellent bow hunter safety program now in place, the Bowhunters Association moved ahead to let bow hunters province-wide know of its existence and purpose. The provincial voice began correspondence with the D.N.R. on issues directly related to bow hunting. Failing to have a large enough membership to have an impact, another avenue to increase members opened in 1985 with the first annual
BANS Bang-Up Shoot
held in Pleasant Valley outside Brookfield Nova Scotia. This shoot brought bow hunters from across the province to enjoy some bow hunting events and relate common problems to find solutions for them. During the late 1980s, BANS opted to have archery clubs run the shoots to increase involvement from the bow hunting groups. The annual shoot continues today and is the largest outdoor bow hunter event in the province.
With BANS awareness and membership growing into the later 1980s, the organization joined the Nova Scotia Wildlife Federation (N.S.W.F.). Nova Scotia D.N.R. relies heavily on the N.S.W.F. for input on issues concerning conservation, wildlife, land use and related items within Nova Scotia. This allowed all of the N.S.W.F. group members to have a voice regarding conservation issues province wide and in joining, proved to be very fruitful for the bow hunters. The N.S.W.F. changed its' name to the
Nova Scotia Federation of Anglers and Hunters
(N.S.F.A.H.) in the latter part of 1998 due to confusion regarding other organizations with 'wildlife federation' in their title.
The mid 80s allowed a 'two deer' season due to high herd counts and would be the first time bow hunters had a
bow only
season for deer. This season was after the close of the general open season in December but opened up the opportunity for bow hunters to make new gains. In the late 1980s, BANS gained a one-week bow season before the general open deer hunt in exchange for the post bow period. By 1997 this bow season expanded through the efforts of BANS to run from the third Saturday in September to the day before the general open season and included again, the one week in December after the close of the general open season. In order to hunt the pre or post seasons, a hunter must first obtain a bow stamp from a vendor and attach it to their hunting license.
Being allowed to wear camouflage in Chignecto was a great enhancement to bow hunting but outside this area, the bow hunter fell under the same provincial guidelines as a rifle hunter. BANS attacked this issue in the mid 1980s and made some small headway when D.N.R. allowed a bow hunter to wear
during the early bow season. Around the early 1990s, BANS fought and gained the advantage for bowhunters to wear full camouflage while in a ground blind or tree stand. It is still required to wear hunter / camouflage orange to the blinds or stands during the early bow season.
BANS approached D.N.R. regarding zones for the province to help improve the deer herd management. Many discussions followed, as there were rumors D.N.R. had already began moving in this very direction. Several user groups raised the issue at N.S.W.F. conventions and finally in 1998, usable zones were put into place. Nova Scotia D.N.R. now had a more efficient way to control the deer herds.
Camouflage clothing was noticeable everywhere within hunting groups but was now seen where ever there was a bow hunter. The association's struggle led to the allowance of any bear hunter to wear full camouflage in a tree stand/ground blind during the open bear season when not overlapping the early few days of the general open deer season. Bow hunters had become a group of respected individuals within the province and had aided along the way, many other organizations with their gains.
About 1994, Nova Scotia required bow hunters to encase their bows while in or on a motorized vehicle, something bow hunters were not accustomed to, lumping bows into the same group as gun hunters once again. With some knowledgeable people regarding bow hunting now within D.N.R., this regulation was revamped some three years later and excluded bows during legal hunting hours.
In 1998 another issue was resolved, through BANS, concerning bow encasement. Bow cases, for the most part, are cumbersome and therefore it was unrealistic to head into a stand or blind before legal hours carrying an encased bow. A regulation was then passed allowing a hunter to carry a bow in game habitat, before or after legal hours, as long as it is encased or has a lock attached which renders the bow inoperable.
BANS was now ready to take a large step and open up a door to help the youth that wished to hunt. With long debates and support from the N.S.W.F. and D.N.R. in 1998, BANS had achieved the privilege for youths to hunt small game at twelve years of age instead of fourteen. With this, BANS hoped to lower the average age of hunters in Nova Scotia and keep it falling by involving the youth at an earlier age.
The year 2000 began with yet another gain for bowhunters in Nova Scotia. Since its inception, the bow season for hunting deer in Chignecto was only allowed during the general open season for hunting white-tail. For the first time, due to B.A.N.S.' direct input and persistence, Chignecto was opened to bowhunters during the special season for bow hunting deer. A bowhunter was now allowed to hunt for any game in Chignecto for which there was a legal season provided they had a valid bowhunter certificate, a valid license for that season, legal bowhunting equipment and that season was open.
Many issues are still ahead for the Bowhunters Association of Nova Scotia however, they have proved to be a strong voice concerning conservation topics gaining much needed support from many other groups over the years. There were over 2400 bow licenses issued in 1997, over 2500 in 1998 and more than 2700 in 1999 to hunters who make use of the bow to harvest game. These numbers only indicate bowhunters who buy the bow stamp required for the special bow season; not all active bowhunters. When all bow hunters become B.A.N.S. members, the struggle will become easier to attain newly set goals and retain those already achieved.
One item eludes most hunters, bow or other, and that is the fight to keep our traditional methods of hunting and fishing alive in Nova Scotia for future generations to enjoy. As always, we must find a way to support the things we enjoy and believe in before they are lost forever. You need only to look at gun legislation and spring bear hunting in Ontario to see the efforts of opposing groups.
Ensure that you always check game laws with the local D.N.R. of any area you wish to hunt or fish. The items mentioned in this article are summarized and therefore, are only a guide and may not reflect current laws in Nova Scotia.

Since many are finishing exams and can't fathom a week and a half without classes, here is a little tidbit you may find interesting:
This is a very interesting article about a tiny FM modulator: http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/semiconductors/devices/worlds-tiniest-fm-transmitter-made-from-graphene/?utm_source=techalert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=112113
The article calls it a transmitter, but really a transmitter implies at least a power amplifier and filtering, if not also the antenna -- which is a key distinction because this tiny modulator will not broadcast without an antenna, and antennas don't scale down in size gracefully the way circuits do!
What I like most about this article is the intuitive, mechanical picture it creates of how frequency modulation (FM) is produced. To create frequency modulation, often a voltage-controlled-oscillator (VCO) is designed that outputs a tone at a certain carrier frequency (e.g. WMSE operates at 91.7MHz), but the catch is that this output frequency is proportional to the amplitude of a signal (voltage) applied to it's input (this is called direct modulation-other schemes do exist). As a result, as an input signal voltage moves positive, the frequency moves up by some amount, and if the input voltage is negative, the frequency moves below the carrier frequency, in direct proportion. So for example if you applied a sine wave to the input of a VCO, and tracked the output frequency of this oscillator over time, the instantaneous frequency would trace out a sine wave! Typically this frequency tuning is achieved using resonant circuits that change their resonant frequency according to this input voltage; it is typically done all electronically, from very simple circuits to very complex circuits.
This article uses a tiny piece of graphene to act as the resonant device -- in this case mechanically! Now, there are many examples of existing technologies that use either mechanical or material properties to establish or change an oscillator frequency, but still this is neat.
Much like a quartz crystal, the graphene material has a resonant frequency that can be extracted by placing it in a circuit (here a feedback circuit). The researchers found that much like the string of a guitar, if the material is stretched, the mechanical resonant frequency increases, and if it is relaxed, the resonant frequency decreases. Now picture anchoring the ends of a strip of this graphene material, and placing it near an electode. If a voltage is applied to the electrode, the graphene is attracted to the electode due to electromagnetic forces, and "bows" towards the electrode, much like stretching a guitar string. A-ha! Now here is the key idea: applying a voltage to the electrode stretches out the graphene material in direct proportion to the applied voltage, and the resonant frequency of the graphene is directly proportional to the amount of stretching, hence the graphene's mechanical resonant frequency is directly proportional to the applied voltage!
For those interested, there is a bit more detail in the Columbia news release here: Columbia Engineers Make World's Smallest FM Radio Transmitter | The Fu Foundation School of Engineering & Applied Scienc…, and for those REALLY interested, here is a link to the Nature journal article: http://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nnano.2013.232.html

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Many Health Care Workers Won't Get Flu Shots
Oct. 14, 2010 -- Many people who are at high risk for the flu -- including health care workers -- say they won't be getting a flu shot this year, a Consumer Reports survey shows.
This year's vaccine protects against the seasonal and H1N1 swine flu. The CDC now recommends flu vaccines for everyone older than 6 months. But the survey of 1,500 adults aged 18 or older shows that many don't plan on heeding this advice.
The findings echo those of a series of surveys by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, which showed that 43% of Americans won't get the flu shot this year, and that one-third of moms won't vaccinate their kids.
In the new poll, 28% of health care workers said they didn't plan on getting the flu vaccine this year. Just 45% of people who were considered at risk for the flu said they would get vaccinated this year, meaning a majority of people with diseases that place them at high risk for the flu and flu-related complications won't get a flu shot.
People aged 65 and older are considered at high risk for flu based on their age, but just 51% said they plan on getting the flu vaccine this year.
Why Some People Aren't Getting Flu Shots
When asked why they were skipping the flu vaccine, 45% of people polled cited that the swine flu epidemic was overblown last year, 44% said they were concerned about the side effects of the flu vaccine, 41% were concerned about its safety, and close to 30% felt the flu vaccine doesn't work anyway.
"I thought that a considerably higher number of people would want to get the flu vaccine," says Marvin Lipman, MD, chief medical adviser for Consumer Reports. "There are varied excuses and a lot has to do with the confusion and publicity that had everyone running to get swine flu vaccines last year," he says. "A lot of people felt that last year's publicity about the swine flu was overblown and therefore are not going to get the flu shot this year," he tells WebMD.
Lipman says the survey shows other reasons may include "flu invincibility" -- the attitude that "I never get the flu, so why would I need a flu shot?" Flu invincibility was more common among men than women, the survey shows.
But this attitude does more harm than good. Each year, the flu puts about 200,000 people in the hospital, and people with underlying health conditions, young children, and the elderly are at risk. The health care workers who care for these individuals are also on the front lines when it comes to spreading the flu.
"All health care workers should really be vaccinated against the flu," Lipman says.
"There is a lot of concern that health care professionals could pass influenza on to patients, many of whom have compromised immune systems," says CDC spokesman Glen Nowak, PhD. "You are not avoiding risk by not getting the flu shot, you are just taking a different set of risks and those may be greater."

Roselle, you see, is a dog. Her owner is blind. He also happened to work in the World Trade Center and was on the 78th floor when planes flew into the building. There were an estimated 17,400 people in the Twin Towers when this horrible event occurred. Not only did Roselle guide her owner down 1,463 flights of stairs to safety but she was also "giving doggie kisses to each and every firefighter who climbed past us up the stairs."
"While debris fell around us, and even hit us, Roselle stayed calm."
In the midst of all of this chaos, Roselle focused on a single task. She led her owner outside and, despite the chaos and falling debris, found the nearest subway station and led her owner underground.
Roselle was honored as the American Hero Dog of the Year. While she isn't with us anymore physically, her memory and lessons stay with us to this day. Roselle wasn't just any dog. Roselle was a highly trained guide dog that had a single job to do for a single customer – her owner. Had she not been trained, she couldn't accomplish this task with the laser focus that she must have had to navigate down one of only three stairwells along with 17,000 other people for 78 floors to achieve her goal.
"Sometimes the way is hard, but if we work together, we will make it down the stairs."
Never forget.

Fey World Ch. 15bymadam_noe©
The tournaments continued in revelry and joy. Six more days passed and with each I grew more and more nervous. Reports to both kings showed my brother was safe, and the Seelie and Unseelie were quite happy, but a shadow was over my heart.
Joy tried to shine it away. Over six days four of Angoralt's Seelie warriors found their Sennschats with Elfgwyven's women, but it brought new worry. They could stay here and travel to the Unseelie kingdom for their games, but when they ended a week later, what would become of them?
My heart ached for a united homeland. My birthplace was now the stuff of legend, the birthplace of wild wolf men. My adopted homeland had been welcoming and overwhelming, strange and not comforting at all save for Pietyr. My new lands were split in two. I would that I could carve out one place of complete acceptance and welcoming.
I would unite the Seelie and Unseelie kingdoms, I vowed. For my happiness and the happiness of all my new people.
On the last night of the games, as we prepared to make our way back to the human world, I asked a boon of Bornagold which he granted. He escorted me to the altar of human magic and circled as I climbed those shining steps.
I had made Bornagold swear not to reveal anything of this visit, but even I did not know what was to come.
Again my golden mail and pink-trimmed gown changed as I entered. My hair fell loose crowned with small roses of every known color and my gown was more like what I wore in Angorland.
Drawing my head back I faced the sky and swept my arms wide. "I seek guidance; I am a Queen, a daughter, a wife, a sister, and with good blessings, some day a mother I shall be, yet I am a fool as much as warrior. I seek guidance from any power that finds me worthy."
For a long moment there was no sound, no movement, nothing. Then I perceived that was strange, here the air lived, breathed with magic. Then the temple began to shake.
I wished for something sturdy and found myself on the couch as before as it shook with great violence. Outside the circle of light Bornagold patrolled, face to the forest, taking no notice if he could even see the tremors.
The light pulled in, condensed, and then two figures stood before me, cloaked. The light returned to shine on us all, but the two figures before me were dun in their old cloaks. They were brown, pale, dyed, black, muddied cloaks, all at once and ever changing. The hoods covered faces and only by height could I intuit one was male and one female.
"Child," said the smaller figure in the voice of every woman alive, at once. "What troubles you so?"
She was the comfort of mother; the understanding of a friend; the direct innocence of youth. I reached out to her and she took my hand with fingers gloved the same as the cloak.
"I love two men of two kingdoms who say they can never unite. I am the last of my people left unchanged and the others have become monsters and endlessly seek me. I know not how to solve any of these problems."
"Problems and opportunities are often one in the same," the male figure said in the voice of every man.
"Challenges makes us stronger, do not weep for them, my child," the woman said.
"Who are you?"
I sensed their smiles more than saw anything split the dark of the cowls. "We are the first," the male said.
"The mother and father of all children," she added.
"We watched the Fey and humans rise."
"We are the last of those who came before," she amended.
"You are creators?"
"Guides," the man said.
"Your people worshiped our own children as gods, and your new father's people worship us in inventive ways. Your true people, the Fey, are us." She tipped my chin up to stare into the murky depths of magic unknown.
"How do I fix all this?"
"Who says you must?" he asked.
"I do."
She nodded. "To fix one you must fix the other; to restore nature you must repair what man has rendered. Magic begets magic."
My brow furled in my puzzlement. "What does that mean?"
"You are the key," the woman said. "But you are not the holder," her companion added. "Another must turn."
"And another must open," she concluded.
"What does that mean? If I am the key, who turns me, and who opens what door?"
She stroked my face. "Daughter, sister, friend...mother soon, you cannot know all the future, but know this. Your heart is your guide, the light of this temple shows the light that shines inside you."
"Your beauty hides your strength; it is armor you must prepare for the coming battle," he said stroking my hair, and they both pulled back. The light began to condense.
"Wait! Stay!" It was too late; even as I yelled they disappeared.
I lowered my outstretched hand, trembling, and thought of their words. To fix one you must fix the other; to restore nature you must repair what man has rendered. Magic begets magic, she had said.
You are the key, but you are not the holder. Another must turn, and another must open, they both had said.
My heart was my guide; my hair armor I had to prepare. What did it all mean?
With heavy heart I left the circle of light and was once again dressed as a Seelie Queen. Bornagold watched me as I walked to the horses, morose.
"What happened?"
"Riddles. I am beset by riddles. The answer to all our troubles is n my hand, but I cannot solve it."
He helped me mount and stood looking up, passing me the reins. "In days of old we fey used to entice humans into our land. We guarded the exits by riddles. Those who could not solve them lived out their days here."
"That's awful!"
"It was old times, when human and fey warred, the age of my grandparents. The point is, no one is better at riddles than the fey."
I smiled at him as he mounted. "The riddlers were the mother and father of all of us. If you know how to spin riddles, these are the people who taught you."
He stared at me as if I had performed some feat of magic that would stump even a high-ranking fey. "You saw the mother and father?"
I nodded and steadied my horse as she nickered. "I spoke with them too."
"Tell me, what did they say?"
Shaking my head I pulled the reins to turn back to Seelie land. "I think I had best tell my husbands." I had changed my mind about hiding this, not when I sensed how important those words might be to all of our futures.
He merely nodded and kicked his horse alongside mine.
Back at camp I found, fortuitously, Elfgwyven facing the mirror where his brother Angoralt stood in distant reflection. When I entered two pairs of eyes, silver and blue, heated, and two very masculine smiles split the perfection of my husbands' faces.
I told them of the entire encounter, adding to Elfgwyven that I had commanded Bornagold to aid me, and of course the first reaction was to chasten me like a child for venturing into the woods with only one guard.
I rolled my eyes and thought of my step-mother. If I could survive her tirades I could survive any siege, and I did understand they loved me, I was mortal, and they worried. It did not make it any less annoying.
When they paused for breath I waved it off. "What do they mean? These strange words."
Both men thought hard on it, their faces pure beauty. I found myself distracted by it and glad I was not fey. Glowing at that moment would have been highly embarrassing.
Elfgwyven looked at me with a slightly knowing smile. "Brother dear we go as planned. Tomorrow morning we shall meet at the gate. Let us both reflect on these words, but now I wish to be with our wife."
Angoralt chuckled at that and winked at me. I merely blushed at him, wishing deeply I had both with me. They said their goodbyes and the mirror was empty.
Worry and a strange sense of power imbued me. I had spoken with gods still whispered about in both my homelands. Gods older than my childhood's many and the Angorlandian's one. They had chosen me, and I was exhilarated, worried, and amazed all at once.
It was I who reached for Elfgwyven without thinking and drew him down to my for a passionate kiss. To my surprise, he let me take the lead.
Oh, my Seelie lover was not passive, but he responded to me, let me set the pace. It was not the passion of when our Unseelie guests had joined us but it was our passion- deeply satisfying, challenging, and leaving us bathed with sweat.
We went to a small pool to cleanse ourselves in my human way, and this time Elfgwyven lead the dance. After I was so boneless he used his magic to snap us from the water to our tent and spent the rest of the night holding me close, settling the softness of my body along the hard planes of his.
In the morning the camps were breaking down, magic making the work fast and breathtaking. Food was served and leisurely eaten as the nobles and lesser fey alike waved their hands from the table and tents disappeared. Musicians played, Seelie and Unseelie, and the stories they told played out in scene over the table amusing one and all.
In my time in the Fey World I had been moved by magic enough to become used to the sensation, but my human maids had not, so only fey would accompany us.
Bornagold led a company of five Seelie Warriors, and Morraving, who had joined the games, brought five with him. We all rode together, Bornagold and his men flanking Elfgwyven and Morraving and his flanking me, and deep into the woods we went.
We cam upon a spot, a circle of mossy trees and flowers, what humans called a fairy circle. There a company of more Seelie and Unseelie warriors guarded the gate, and just inside the circle stood Angoralt next to his horse.
I leaned across to Elfgwyven and boldly kissed him before jumping down to run to Angoralt, giving him the same kiss.
I cared not for the other men though I saw smiles. I simply wanted to express my joy and love and feel theirs flow into me.
"Hannah," Angoralt smiled. "Are you ready for the journey back to your father's?"
I nodded and reached out my hand for Elfgwyven to join us. He controlled his face well in front of the men just as Angoralt did, but the longing to restore their brotherhood was plain in each face.
"My husbands...what I am most excited about is that in my world, the human world, we three can be together as long as we like."
I held a hand of each and felt them tremble.
They broke their mutual gaze and turned to their men, appointing who would move the horses, the supplies, and the attendants; two valets, four grooms, and two maids.
It was smooth, practiced. One moment I was in the shining twilight of faerie and the next I was in the deep west woods of Angorland. The air here was thinner, cooler, almost bitter, but still earthy. The sun was bright and the animals here were louder.
I felt slightly dizzy and broke my hold on their hands to spin around in sudden euphoria. Around us appeared the retinue and while the grooms saw to the horses the warriors formed a circle and investigated.
I stopped spinning when the euphoria passed and found myself blushing. "I am sorry for that."
"You are still human enough long teleportation will do that, which is why we will make jumps," Elfgwyven said.
"The men will go in teams, scouting, and making sure it is clear. It will take us until the afternoon, and we'll make the last leg of the journey on foot so as to let you adjust, and not scare other humans," Angoralt added.
What had promised to be an adventure was sheer torture of the strangest sort. With each "jump" I became drunk on magic, the only human there. No one seemed to judge me, they smiled as I danced and sang songs from my childhood about great ships bearing noble warriors.
The maids smiled, held my hands for me when we rested, made sure I drank a honeyed drink similar to mead that my husbands claimed would calm me. At least I did understand why we had not done this the first time; with all the humans I'd brought with we'd be sheer madness for the fey to deal with.
At long last we reached the far fields outside the capitol. Here no farms spread and shallow copses of trees broke like waves upon the tall grasses. In the shade of one my husbands bade us make camp for a meal and rest for me.
I giggled like a carefree child as magic called forth tents, furniture, food, even makeshift stables. My husbands led me into the largest and as Elfgwyven sealed the flap with magic Angoralt set me gently on the large bed.
My brain swam with pure elation and reason eluded me. Suddenly they were on the bed with me and I was in a tangle of arms and lips, closing my eyes against shining gold and silver, allowing my body to flow like water between them.
Suddenly clothes were gone and naked flesh pressed all around me; sinewy building muscles and sleek, strong compact ones. Warmth and texture surged against me as four hands moved, teasing with urgency, lighting fires in their wake.
I kissed one than the other in rapid succession, tasting their differences, reveling in them. One mouth on lips, one on my neck, and my breasts were cupped, massaged, the nipples toyed with, light-as-butterfly-wings strokes spurring my desire on. Meaty fingers sank inside me, making me gasp and cry out and slimmer ones gently circled the nubbin. I broke and the euphoria danced though my head, even as my own hands grappled to feel these men I loved.
Punch drunk on magic and lust I felt even more magic and suddenly there were pushing inside me, filling my completely. Angoralt at my back, his cock buried in my arse, one hand cupping a breast the other stroking the nubbin. Elfgwyven pushed in the traditional way, holding my legs aloft he began to move, rocking all of us together.
I grabbed a forearm of each but otherwise could not move. The pleasure was sweet, burning, and so intense my mind shuttered to anything else. I caught the spiral of pleasure just as Elfgwyven kissed me and I was thrown into the abyss. The pleasure was shaking, intense, covering all of me as colors burst behind my eyes and I cried out into his mouth with my release.
They soon followed and it was a beautiful moment of pure elation that melted quickly into exhaustion. Magic was called upon to extricate and clean us all and I could not but help and giggle at the strange sensation.
For the first time I was laid down in the arms of the two men I loved. I wanted to tell them of my love, thank them for my pleasure, to enjoy every moment of this, but sleep rose up to claim me.
I woke as the sun was beginning to slide down in the sky. Above me my husbands leaned on their sides, talking in hushed voices not to wake me, their hands stroking me absentmindedly. The surge of slow, pulsing desire is what woke me, but neither was glowing.
I stretched my hands above my head like a cat and that earned me their attention. I opened my eyes once more to muddied glows from them.
"Anni, how do you feel?"
"Sated and yet hungry," I purred.
Elfgwyven looked to his smiling brother. "she's still bespelled."
"Oh no," Angoralt said with great humor. "We'll just have to try and work it out of her." He grinned down at me and I wasn't sure what he meant, and then he kissed me.
This time it was only lips, teeth, tongue, and fingers. They were partially clothed and I was naked, open them, greedy for it. They brought me to peak after peak until I felt hoarse, my bones liquefied, and all I wanted was them to join me in this crest, but they pulled back.
"Sweetling, we must eat something and then begin the final leg." Angoralt kissed me and rose.
"Come," Elfgwyven kissed me and bade me rise. His magic clothed me in human garb, but cleverly I saw the front panel was white with silver and gold braided trim, the skirt black and yellow with pink trim at the bottom. What should have been a garish mash of colors was made by magic into something smooth and flowing, and it felt right.
He added a hair net with jewels in my father's colors of green and blue. Against my red hair it shined, the net a threading of silver and gold.
"This is too much," I said with a blush, standing before the mirror.
Angoralt's magic summoned a table with light snacks, but so many of them we could feed the whole camp.
"You are a queen of three realms," Elfgwyven said with a small smile.
"A princess of another. You hold more titles than any of us, your station is the highest. You will always be appointed accordingly. Now let us eat."
"I am thirsty," I confessed crossing to the table. They both held my chair for me, sliding it in, and Elfgwyven poured cool water.
"My lovely Anni, the magic still is in you. You need the water, not wine. I am sorry if we have been less than gallant."He managed to blush slightly, and his brother laughed.
"If you think she feels we took advantage of her joy, you're sorely mistaken, brother. Do you feel anything less than fully pleasured, my dear Hannah?" Over the rim of his goblet, filled with wine, Angoralt's silver eyes glimmered at me mischievously.
Caught up with his pull of dark temptation I swallowed the cool water and returned the smile. 'perhaps if my two husbands had filled me properly again I could say I was fully satisfied.
He threw his head back and laughed while Elfgwyven blushed and picked up a tray of fruit. He selected a ripe peach, out of season in the human world, and held it to my lips.
I met his eyes, such a crystalline blue, and sucked on the juicy slice suggestively. His fingers trembled even as I bit it from him.
I was still drunk, I realized, my reserves were not out of reach, my limits were just blurred. What should have been a quick repast turned into a sensual adventure, and I freely enjoyed teaching them. As the glows of their arousal grew I knew it was I who had called it forth.
All too soon came the call of magic on the barrier at the tent opening. With sighs it was decided I would greet the interrupter while my husbands tried to calm themselves.
It was Bornagold. "My queen, we should get moving soon. Night is falling."
"We shall be right there. Saddle our horses and give us simply a moment."
He nodded and left.
"Better?" I turned to my husbands, both startlingly handsome, but their glows were muddied. "We must make ready and ride. I trust you can make this all disappear?"
Without waiting for them to answer I stepped out and mounted my brown mare. An animal of fey her mane was pure gold and her eyes a shining green. Her temper was sweet and she nuzzled me before I swung onto the saddle.
Moments later the kings joined us and mounted up. We set out, me between them, their guards flanking them, the servants behind us. All eyes watched the fields, seeking out signs of danger.
Suddenly Angoralt turned to me. "What will our sleeping arrangements be?"
I giggled. "In Angorlandian tradition you will have your own room, Elfgwyven and I ours, until our wedding by human tradition."
He grabbed my reins and pulled our horses close, bringing my face to his. "If you think I am spending a night without you, you are sorely mistaken." He kissed me then, raw and passionate.
Elfgwyven chuckled, but then came war cries from Bornagold and Morraving. Behind me I heard the dreaded word gasped by a groom.

It feels like fall, so thought this would be a good meal for this kind of weather. . . rainy and cool. My husband and I really liked it and will definitely make it again. Used a good Napa Chardonnay and it was delicious. Followed the recipe using de-boned chicken thighs, and served with a romaine salad with blue cheese dressing. Used fresh herbs from my garden...love the tarragon. Only had a multi-grain bread which was good, but next time will serve with a french baguette to sop up all the wonderful sauce.
White Wine Coq au Vin

JahJones Posted: 02/06/10
This recipe was one of the best I have made from myrecipes.com. It was surprisingly quick and easy, but tasted as if it had cooked for hours. This dish would wow company. I used center-cut bacon and decreased the oil to cut the fat, and it was still delicious. Highly recommended!!!
marybeth123 Posted: 01/16/11
Delicious and unique compared to red wine Coq au vin. The dish was colorful and would be ideal for making ahead for a casual dinner. Chopping the vegetables and herbs in advance would speed cooking time during the week. Like the others, I used some extra flour and chicken broth to thicken at the end. Husband liked it so it will be in regular rotation
mbarta3 Posted: 07/13/10
I used 4 slices of thick cut bacon, but found the salty/smoky flavor a bit too strong, so I may halve the bacon and double the chicken next time. I also stirred 1 cup cooked mixed rice into the mixture just before serving so it turned out more like a soup/gumbo. A nice touch I thought, and even tastier with some fresh french bread.
Tigergirl704 Posted: 01/13/11
Made this last night. All quiet at the table til I said this is gross, isn't it? My family absolutely did not like this at all. Never will make again. Followed exactly and served french bread. Yuck!
JanieV Posted: 05/18/10
While this was a good recipe, I felt that it was just lacking depth of flavor. The sauce, if prepared as directed, is very thin and runny. Much more of a broth than a gravy. If you are intrigued by the idea of a white wine chicken stew/coq au vin, a much better recipe in my mind is called "Dijon Chicken Stew." Also available from the My Recipes site as it is originally a Cooking Light recipe.
sarasane Posted: 11/21/10
Very yummy! My new favorite addition for any savory recipe is Herbes de Provencale. I'm allergic to red wine so this was a welcome recipe. Like others, I added some flour to the broth to thicken and I also added some additional salt (don't remember how much). Just a lovely, lovely meal with crusty french bread. I would serve this for every day as well as special occasions.
stephanienagel Posted: 09/29/10
This dish was delicious and I will definitely make it again. I served this for a weeknight meal, but it's nice enough for company. I didn't have fresh or dried tarragon, so I substituted fresh thyme. Other than that I made it exactly as written. Served w/ Basmati Rice and a green salad. The sauce is on the thin side, so it's perfect over rice. Next time, the only thing I'll add is fresh garlic w/ the veggies.
AmyBinSJ Posted: 05/17/10
This is my "go-to" recipie for company as you can make ahead and not be tied to the stove. I serve it over wild rice or a wild/brown rice blend and serve with crunchy bread and it is comfort food goodness.
Ginny2 Posted: 01/16/10
This was a fantastic dish! My husband, who does not like wine or chicken, loved it and said that I could add this to the rotation any time. I made this exactly as written and it was easy and delicious! I served it with mashed red potatoes that had a hint of garlic.
billmccsb Posted: 01/06/10
Excellent, light, tasty and easy to do.
Stickelberry Posted: 01/10/10
Excellent - really easy and super good. A little on the fatty side but you can avoid by cutting back on the bacon. Yum Yum Yum!!!
seattlecat Posted: 01/20/10
delicious! and super easy to put together. made it for a small dinner party, bought a fresh yummy loaf of bread and my guests thought i slaved hours over it. try it...great recipe and easy to follow
mrszap Posted: 01/20/10
made this last night for dinner . . outstanding flavor; the fresh tarragon is so flavorful. My husband said this goes in the "keeper" file!!! A fresh baguette is all you need. . high quality applewood-smoked bacon is key!
peechybean Posted: 01/20/10
Absolutely delicious! Served with white rice which was perfect for soaking up the sauce. Made it in the afternoon so that by the time my guests arrived the cooking was done. I found that the longer it stayed on the stove the better it got! With such inexpensive and easy ingredients, I will definitely be making this again.
DCavalier Posted: 01/25/10
This is an easy recipe to follow, and it turned out great. I adjusted the salt and pepper at the end, and thickened the broth with a little flour and chicken stock. I served it with french bread toasted with seasoned olive oil. It was a hit all around. Next time I would add less parsley and tarragon at the end, but not much. Will definitely make again!
GoodLilEater Posted: 02/22/10
Excellent! I have made it twice already. Use homemade stock if you can, it makes a huge difference. Good for a casual dinner with guests, serve with crusty bread and a simple green salad with french vinaigrette and a bunch of white wine.
Marietta1 Posted: 11/18/10
Wow!! This was amazing! And easy to make. At the end I realized I had forgotten Tarragon at grocery store, so I had to leave that out, but otherwise followed directions. I let it simmer for almost an hour, it thickened up pretty good. I served over brown rice with a spinach salad on the side. My husband never touched the salad, just went back for more stew! Even my 2 year old loved it!! This is a keeper! Worthy of special occasions and every ordinary night at home!!
Northwoods Posted: 11/15/10
Easy to make but flavorful. Try a garnish of mushrooms - quartered then sauted in butter and garlic.
Cdnclv Posted: 10/30/10
Couldn't wait for the weather to turn cold so I could start making this recipe again. Have used 1/2 the bacon, turkey bacon, and chicken breast for a healthier version without compromising taste. Always excellent!
in2tiki Posted: 11/28/10
If I could give this dish 10 stars I would! Great for family or entertaining. Pre-prepping all ingredients before cooking anything is more efficient- Serve with warm crusty bread.
DameCabbage Posted: 01/09/11
Given the stellar reviews, I had high hopes for this recipe. But it just didn't deliver. Way too fatty with the 4 slices of bacon and chicken thighs (which took me forever to trim). The recipe tastes best after 15 minutes of simmering, as the recipes call for, as the aroma of wine is still present. All in all, I thought this recipe was a let-down.
Beths2cents Posted: 02/02/11
Delicious and so easy!
Juliegirl Posted: 01/16/12
Great recipe. I've made it 3 times now. The only change I make is to add either diced potato (to thicken the broth) or some bow tie or penne pasta to give it a little more substance. But to me, the flavor is wonderful.
bliss1955 Posted: 08/16/12
Delicious - a lighter version of the french classic. I do add mushrooms - quartered - to the recipe.
Saecca Posted: 11/20/12
The result looks very impressive, especially with the fresh herbs at the end. One tip is to chop all your veggie and meats at the beginning. I didn't like how those instructions were further down in the recipe-- I like to be ready to add items. My husband complained that the white wine was a bit over powering, but I did not notice it as much. The only herbs de provence I could find was in a packet made by McCormick-- a non-resealble packet at that. Overall, a good recipe, a bit of work/time since you have to cook lots of items separately then add them back (but I guess that means less dishes?).
redcucina Posted: 01/21/13
This is very good, particularly the amount of flavor for the amount of cooking time. The fresh herbs are wonderful - with the herbs, wine and bacon it tastes very French. I took the advice of another poster and added a medium potato in 3/4-inch dice when I added the broth, wine, etc. I think it helped to thicken it with only 15 mins of simmering. If not adding potato it may be better to thicken overnight before serving. I used a French White Burgundy as an over-oaked California Chardonnay could detract from the dish.

Natalie Bormann joined the Political Science Department in 2007, after holding positions at Brown University, and the Universities of Manchester and Edinburgh in the UK. She is the author of National Missile Defence and the Politics of US identity – A poststructural critique (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2008) and co-editor of Securing Outer Space (London: Routledge, 2009). These and other writings explore the constitutive interplay of identity and the politics of security, in which she turns to the more interpretative modes of inquiry provided to us by critical social theory and poststructuralism.

Natalie's research interests are interdisciplinary and draw mostly from International Relations, Cultural Studies, and Social and Political Theory. Her current work explores the role of trauma and ethics in international politics, the relation between violence and memory, and questions of identity in formulating foreign and security policies.
Professor Bormann is participating in an edited book project Memory and Materiality (University of Minnesota Press, forthcoming, 2014) in collaboration with the Memory Studies program at the New School in New York. Her work for this project probes the materialization of memory through the trading stories of Nazi relics.
Critical Social Theory Research Cluster
Together with Carleton Gholz in Communication Studies, Professor Bormann is running the Critical Social Theory (CST) Research Cluster, for which she received a grant from the Humanities Center. The CST Cluster wants to create and facilitate a vibrant intellectual culture in radical thinking and social critique – which can be thought of as covering interactions between the explanatory, the normative and the ideological dimensions of social and political thought. We are in the process of creating a database of reading material for the NEU community, and as it relates to critical social theory; see here. The Group meets once a month.

What concepts have gained theoretical stability and coherence that make it 'worthy' of critical concern today? One such object of contemporary critical inquiry is…..food. We will discuss articles that call attention to the role of food in the production and maintenance of nation, community, and self. Food is not only central to concerns about neoliberalism, climate change, individual and public health, but – once we scratch the surface of these arguments – it also conceals anxieties about biocapitalism, national sovereignty, and immigration.

Found July 04, 2012 on Busted Coverage:
PLAYERS: Wes Welker
TEAMS: New England Patriots
TEAMS: New England Patriots
Just happened to check the Busted Coverage mailbox this afternoon and guess what was waiting for us? Yep, a wedding gift "thank you" note from Mrs. Wes Welker. You might remember how we were the first to report on the Welker online wedding registry. Yes, we bought the couple an avocado tool because it was reasonably priced & the general thought was that Wes would actually use it. Well, it seems Anna Burns Welker (former Ms. Hooters International) didn't like our gift message, which referenced her new husband's botched 4th quarter catch that would've sealed SB XLVI. Look, first of all, kudos to Anna for the quick response. The couple has only been married a couple weeks and she's already firing off thank you wedding gift notes. Of course she could have ignored us and our gift message. Of course she could have just overlooked our message about SB XLVI. Deep down I think she might actually be a fan. jQuery(function($){$("a img.gallery-wall-fade").hover(function(){$(this).stop().animate({opacity:.5},{queue:false,duration:400});},function(){$(this).stop().animate({opacity:1},{queue:false,duration:400});});});
