Subject: A Grand (Klaive) Purpose
Wed 24 Jan 2018, 23:29
While resting on their return journey to the King of Crows Eiger took a seat next to Rends. He pulled out some jerky and began chewing on it, silently offering some to a Rends before speaking.
"Rends, I've been meaning to ask you... why do you want a Grand Klaive? A Klaive is a powerful weapon, yes. But, one generally used to fight other Garou, especially in duels. Who do you see yourself facing down with that Klaive? Dissenters to the King, Ford, Robert, your former Shadowlord packmate?"
He cocked a smile.
"Me if I keep talking?"
He chuckled.
"I'm not tying to be rude or dissuade you at all. It's just you are already fairly armed to the teeth to take on any enemy of Gaia, without the Grand Klaive. The fact you want one alone could cause other Garou to treat you and your pack with suspicion, regardless of your intentions. What is the price you are willing to pay for a Grand Klaive and just what do you intend to use it for?"

Rends chuckles and takes the preferred meatstick, offering his flask in trade.
"Klaives ain't jest fer duels. They can serve a lot of purposes. If you'd asked me that a few months ago I might've told you a specific purpose in mind, but now..."
He trails off, chewing slowly.
"True I'm better armed than most Garou, and I don't think it's undue braggin' to say I can take a hit better'n jest about anybody alive. So you tell me, why would somebody like me want a Klaive?"

Fey was quiet and stared into the fire before speaking. When he did he continued staring at the fire.
"Well I suppose since this is not a few months ago... I'd guess the Apocalypse. You would be able to use the Klaive to bring support under you and the king, or you could at least use the Klaive to get Garou who don't agree with you to stay away from you at all costs. It can be a rallying cry. A symbol of the old world. Making one is an inspired idea."
He then turned towards Rends.
"But I can only guess, hence why I asked."

Rends nods along, taking another bite of jerky.
"The Apocalypse has been comin' fer years now. Only my pack and a handful of others has been aware and workin' to prepare fer that day. Malchizadek of the Sicarii is one a them others, and King Rawest Wind since we woke him."
He pauses for a moment, unsure, before going on.
"The traitor Tames-the-Weaver was another. In his despair he overthrew my home Caern, murdered my family and sacrificed my town to power a ritual so he could wipe out the local Uktena. Years later my pack caught up with him and rescued my wife from his grasp, and I had the honor of killing the traitor not once, but twice over thanks to his black magic."
Rends' gaze wanders to the north and east, eyes distant with memory.
"But in between he saw somethin' of what was comin'. He made his own plans, which we mainly fucked up real good. Except fer one part. He made three fetishes, and a kind of prophecy to go along with them. A Horn to sound the coming end"
He raises a hand and points to the horn at Eaton's waist.
"A Bond to bind anything"
He motions to the gleeming rope around Zoe's waist
"And a Sword to carve the way to the End."
He turns back to Carver, face carefully void of emotion.
"Robert Swiftdeath stole that from me just before he used it to kill Roaring Jack."
Rends turns to the side and spits, then swaps the jerky for the flask and takes a pull before going on.
"My Pa had a vision of how the Apocalypse was comin' to bring an end. Fer a while, I let his vision get into my head. I was obsessed with the God's Nails. I clung to that powerful fetish so tightly I couldn't see how foolish I was bein' with it and how Pa's prophecy was pushing me. Then I lost it, and I lost the greatest leader the Nation had and the man I respected more than any other."
His gaze goes back to the northeast.
"Fer a while after that I held myself back. I didn't think I was worthy to hold any kind of power since the one time I did I let it slip away and disaster came of it. But I come to realize that's a weakness in me, and I realized that I'm strong enough to handle it. So maybe this is me finishin' my Pa's work, but doin' it my way. Tames the Weaver was a treacherous bastard, but in his time he was a Theurge the likes a' which don't come along often. I can't know what Robert's gonna do with the God's Nails, but I can damn well make sure they's one sword there at the front to lead the way to the Enemy's den and take us to the day after."

As Rends explained his logic and motivation Eiger began to smile and turned towards Rends as he spoke.
"Eaton explained much of the Storm Eater to me, though he left out the prophecy and your father's fetishes. I can tell your intentions are just and honorable Rends the Gar. I should like to do what I can to help you achieve this goal. Your Grand Klaive may lead when the end times come, but my spear shall be right behind."
He turned to face the fire.
"I came here to kill Ford and check on the fey. I didn't know I was going to cross paths with the Prodigals, the only pack with stones large enough to lead the fight against the Apocalypse. The Storm Eater is not something I can simply turn a blind eye to and go back home. It wouldn't be right."
He closed his eyes and popped his neck.
"The apocalypse... what a drag."

Rends chuckled.
"Eh, relax. Old Mal's got his eye on the Apocalypse too, he's jest a bit more fatalistic about it. Like I told him last time we met, he's focused on the day of - I'm focused on the day after. I do appreciate the offer of help though."
He turns to regard the Fianna, taking measure of him.
"We didn't plan on an of this. Hell, from what we know the Storm Eater is the bastard child of a fallen Phoenix we defeated a few years ago while cleanin' up a Uketena mess."
He belches and picks at his teeth.
"It was Akna's last curse the first time the Pure beat her way back when, and it's back now to finish the job. That's been most of our career though; cleanin' up other people's messes. But all that ain't yer problem. Nobody's blame you if you jest went on your way after we got Ford his dues. Yer new to the Nation and ain't none of this yer problem."
Rends' face is unreadable as he regards the Ragabash.

Fae shook his head and turned to look at Rends as he smiled.
"You ain't gettin rid of me that easy. Sure it'd be easy to run home... but the Get in me won't let that happen. If you lot took it down without me I'd never forgive myself."
He turned back to the fire and took a drink of his own whiskey.
"Besides... if on the off chance you don't succeed in stopping it... I'm guessing it ain't going to just stay put here content with its victory. I'd rather do what I can to play my part now, then wake up in the future back home one day to the Apocalypse saying to myself "Damn those Prodigals".
He chuckled.
"If I may be so bold... maybe Cernunnos had other intentions for me then just taking care of Ford and these other Black Spirals. Even with Ford and them out of the picture... the Fae here are still in danger because of this Storm Eater. Just maybe one of them knows something. If Garou of all tribes, spirits, and even mages are helping... maybe I'm here to enlist a little more help for you."
After a few moments of silence and picking at the fire he turned back to look at Rends.
"Who is Mal?"

Rends gives a nod of approval and slaps the other man on the back.
"Good. I wouldn't want to find out you had any quit in ya. Life out here ain't somethin' fer the weak of heart, let alone huntin' Black Spirals."
Rends starts idly stuffing his pipe from his tobacco pouch.
"Mal's the leader of a bunch of wannabe spooky bastards with nothin' good to do and too much time to do it in. Fer all that Mal's alright, even if he's got a fondness fer vague threats and bad taste in followers. But he's helped us out of a couple tight spots, and he helped bring Lune Stalker out of the grasp of the Abyss. Back when we first started out as a pack one of our first jobs was to bring Penelope..."
He trails off, pain flashing across his face. He shakes his head.
"Who's Cernunnos?"

Eiger smiles as Rends slapped him. As Rends mentioned Penelope Eiger almost spoke up, but stopped himself upon seeing the pain on his new friend's face. He responded quickly though to the Ahroun's question.
"Cernunnos is one of the 3 aspects of Stag. There is the White Hart, Cernunnos, and Herne the Horned One also known as Herne the Huntsman. Each is a facet of Stag and in turn each handles separate affairs. During a Fianna's rite of passage Stag will manifest itself as one of the 3 aspects. We try to divine a greater purpose by which aspect chose to manifest itself, and for me it was Cernunnos."
He paused and sighed.
"All this that we are doing to reach the Uktena. Will they even be willing to speak with us?"

Sinn Fein's proposal for a limited – and seemingly behind closed doors – probe into the RHI scandal cannot be set up by the attorney general under current legislation, it has been confirmed.
The development, which comes after weeks of Sinn Fein flip-flopping on whether the party supports a full public inquiry into the £500 million debacle, would appear to set back the DUP-Sinn Fein plan for addressing an issue which has infuriated the public.
Although senior Sinn Fein figures Conor Murphy, Mary Lou McDonald and Declan Kearney have called for a full public inquiry, the party has now settled on a less far-reaching and faster form of inquiry.
A Sinn Fein motion to be debated at Stormont on January 16 calls for an "independent, time-framed, robust and transparent investigation".
The motion adds: "This investigation would be undertaken by an independent judicial figure from outside this jurisdiction and be appointed by the attorney general."
READ MORE: Sam McBride: Sugden can now unilaterally decide on public inquiry into RHI scandal
On Tuesday Sinn Fein chairman Declan Kearney – who attacked what he termed "juvenile journalists" for raising questions about Sinn Fein's stance (an apparent reference to the News Letter) told the Nolan Show that the probe must have the power to compel witnesses and documents.
Sinn Fein has argued against a public inquiry under the Inquiries Act 2005 – something which would give the inquiry wide-ranging powers of compulsion and sanctions for those who disobey the inquiry.
But Attorney General John Larkin's office said that he has no power under the Inquiries Act to set up an investigation and that there is no other mechanism whereby he could set up an investigation with powers of compulsion.
The News Letter asked the Attorney General's Office whether Mr Larkin has any power under the Inquiries Act 2005 to set up an investigation and whether – in the absence of any powers from that legislation – he could otherwise set up an investigation with powers to compel witnesses and documents.
A spokesman for the Attorney General's Office responded: "There's nothing in the Inquiries Act which permits the attorney to even call an inquiry. It's purely down to ministers and specifically mentions ministers only."
The spokesman added that "there is nothing else that would even give him remit in the 2002 legislation which set up the attorney general which would allow him to call any other powers or inquiries".
Meanwhile, last night Sinn Fein health minister Michelle O'Neill issued a statement in which she pointedly made reference to the need for the inquiry to be able to compel witnesses and papers – something which to date Sinn Fein statements have not specified.
Ms O'Neill said: "We cannot have a process that long fingers the issue and results in tens of millions of public money being squandered on top of the hundreds of millions already at risk.
"There is a need to get to the bottom of the RHI scandal and to hold those responsible to account. We need to put in place a process, which gets to the facts quickly, effectively and with minimum cost to restore confidence in the political process.
"Sinn Féin believes the quickest and most cost-effective way to achieve this is a thorough, independent investigation which is robust, transparent, time framed and led by a senior judicial figure from outside the jurisdiction and with the power to compel witnesses and documents."
READ MORE: Foster: Calls for me to stand down motivated by misogyny
But TUV leader Jim Allister accused Sinn Fein of "bluster" and said that anything less than a full public inquiry "provides a soft landing for its DUP partner, which, I suspect, is Sinn Fein's real intent".
Mr Allister surmised that "as yet unseen concessions have probably been extracted, or are being negotiated, as the price of blocking a proper public inquiry".
He added: "No matter how it is dressed up a mere 'investigation' will be a vehicle for cover-up and whitewash. Only a public inquiry under the Inquiries Act 2005 would have the essential powers to compel witnesses and the production of documents. An 'investigation' would be held behind closed doors and be a toothless tool for the powers that be – a bit reminiscent of the farcical 'investigation' Peter Robinson had conducted into his difficulties, which was never published, but resulted in him self-proclaiming vindication.
"The attorney general has no powers to activate an inquiry under the Inquiries Act – only ministers have that power – so, anything he established would not have compellability powers."

Maybe I'm a bit of a nerd, but I love a good documentary. SMU Students for a Better Society will host a screening of a new film that spends significant time not on the problems with our current food system, but on better ways of producing grub that people actually want to eat.
After the screening, a whole slew of panelists will discuss the film and address questions. Jon Taggart who owns Burgundy Pasture Beef; Jean Kazez, a professor at SMU and author of Animalkind: What We Owe to Animals, Judith McGeary, attorney, activist, sustainable farmer and founder of the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance; and others will lead what will hopefully turn into a lively discussion.

So here I am in Le Grand-Pressigny for a few days with an old friend. Nick was here for the weekend and has now gone back to work in the UK while we stay on to enjoy the sunshine.
Which, I have to say, is very welcome. The previous three holidays have featured a lot of rain so to have day after day of warmth and sunshine is just wonderful.
Anyway, I was busy investigating the contents of the fridge in the cellar when Lulu barked and there was a tap at the front door. I came back upstairs as my friend opened the door and spoke to two youngsters in scout uniforms, then turned to me to say she thought it was "bob a job" week.
I was frantically trying to think what I could ask them to do (clean the windows, sweep the back yard), when they explained that they had walked all the way from Leugny (a distance of 14 km) to find the shops in the village all shut and they had nothing to eat.
So what they wanted was something to eat.
Well, we were just about to sit down to lunch ourselves so we invited them to join us. I must say at this point that I was completely flummoxed and it's hard to be sure which of us was the most surprised. Me for finding two nice young lads on the doorstep asking for food, them for being invited to sit down to lunch with two strange English women, or my friend for having a friend of hers who would do such a thing as ask two complete strangers to join us for lunch.
I certainly can't imagine anything like it happening in Derbyshire.
The thing is, is this what scouts do in France? If they find themselves hungry and the shops all shut they just knock on doors until somebody feeds them? And what was I really expected to do? Is it written in French law that if a hungry scout lands on your doorstep you are obliged to provide food? If they were actually on an exercise to get something to put in a sandwich (they did have half a baguette between them) then they would have failed, as we filled them up with home-made quiche, salad and huge slabs of home-made fruit cake. They also cleaned me out of orange juice and drank a whole bottle of water. Maybe all they really wanted was a piece of cheese and a banana.
Anyway, they ate it all up with polite eagerness and went on their way. My friend and I hoped they were not then meeting up with other fellow scouts and sending them to our house !! We decided to go out for the rest of the afternoon, just in case !!

Pierre Loti, dont on imagine mal quelle gloire retentissante il connut de son vivant, est aujourd'hui presque tombé dans l'oubli. Son premier roman, Aziyadé, évoque pour nous les charmes surannés de l'exotisme. Les oeuvres de Loti ont vieilli, leur mélancolie quelque peu apprêtée a mal supporté l'épreuve du temps. Classique, fluide, impeccablement équilibrée, l'écriture demeure pourtant un modèle d'élégance, avec sa grâce un peu glacée. Quant à cette histoire d'amour entre un jeune officier de marine et sa belle esclave circassienne, mélange subtil de tendresse et de cruauté, elle s'exprime à travers des couleurs chatoyantes, des parfums et une sensualité qui n'ont plus rien à voir avec un quelconque Orient de pacotille. Loti ne s'encombre ni de clichés ni de bons sentiments. Et c'est un écrivain sensible, tourmenté, qui transparaît dans ces pages teintées d'amertume.

Read information about the authorLouis Marie-Julien Viaud (January 14, 1850 - June 10, 1923) was a writer, who used the pseudonym Pierre Loti.
Viaud was born in Rochefort, Charente-Maritime, France, to an old Protestant family.[1] His education began in Rochefort, but at the age of seventeen, being destined for the navy, he entered the naval school in Brest and studied on Le Borda. He gradually rose in his profession, attaining the rank of captain in 1906. In January 1910 he went on the reserve list.
His pseudonym has been said to be due to his extreme shyness and reserve in early life, which made his comrades call him after "le Loti", an Indian flower which loves to blush unseen. Other explanations have been put forth by scholars. It is also said that he got the name in Tahiti where he got a sun burn and was called Roti (because he was all red like a local flower), he couldn't pronounce the r well so he stuck with Loti. He was in the habit of claiming that he never read books (when he was received at the Académie française, he said, "Loti ne sait pas lire" ("Loti doesn't know how to read"), but testimony from friends and acquaintances proves otherwise, as does his library, much of which is preserved in his house in Rochefort. In 1876 fellow naval officers persuaded him to turn into a novel passages in his diary dealing with some curious experiences at Istanbul. The result was Aziyadé, a novel which, like so many of Loti's, is part romance, part autobiography, like the work of his admirer, Marcel Proust, after him. (There is a popular cafe in current-day Istanbul dedicated to the time Loti spent in Turkey.) He proceeded to the South Seas as part of his naval training, and several years after leaving Tahiti published the Polynesian idyll originally named Rarahu (1880), which was reprinted as Le Mariage de Loti, the first book to introduce him to the wider public. This was followed by Le Roman d'un spahi (1881), a record of the melancholy adventures of a soldier in Senegambia.
Loti on the day of his reception at the Académie française on 7 April, 1892In 1882, Loti issued a collection of four shorter pieces, three stories and a travel piece, under the general title of Fleurs d'ennui (Flowers of Boredom).
In 1883 he entered the wider public spotlight. First, he publish the critically acclaimed Mon frere Yves (My Brother Yves), a novel describing the life of a French naval officer (Pierre Loti), and a Breton sailor (Yves Kermadec), described by Edmund Gosse as "one of his most characteristic productions".[1] Second, while taking part as a naval officer in the undeclared hostilities that preceded the outbreak of the Sino-French War (August 1884 to April 1885), Loti wrote an article in the newspaper Le Figaro about atrocities that occurred during the French bombardment of the Thuan An forts that guarded the approaches to Hue (August 1883), and was threatened with suspension from the service, thus gaining wider public notoriety.
In 1886 he published a novel of life among the Breton fisherfolk, called Pêcheur d'Islande (Iceland Fisherman), which Edmund Gosse characterized as "the most popular and finest of all his writings."[1] It shows Loti adapting some of the Impressionist techniques of contemporary painters, especially Monet, to prose, and is a classic of French literature. In 1887 he brought out a volume "of extraordinary merit, which has not received the attention it deserves",[1] Propos d'exil, a series of short studies of exotic places, in his characteristic semi-autobiographic style. The novel of Japanese manners, Madame Chrysanthème— a precursor to Madame Butterfly and Miss Saigon and a work that is a combination of narrative and travelog— was published the same year.
During 1890 he published Au Maroc, the record of a journey to Fez in company with a French embassy, and Le Roman d'un enfant (The Story of a Child), a somewhat fictionalized recollection of Loti's childhood that would greatly influence Marcel Proust. A collection

Calories – an education and a balance
The BBC recently reported that a third of the British population underestimates their daily calorie intake. On average, the recommended daily calorie allowance is 2500 for men and 2000 for women. According to an analysis of over 4,000 people by the Office of National Statistics, an extra 500 calories is being consumed everyday by both sexes. It would seem the 4,000 people claim to have accrued these extra calories by accident. Either forgetting exactly what they have ingested or by presuming to know the calorie content of certain foods so have underestimated their total.
A single calorie is a unit of energy, the food we eat contains them and our bodies need them to function. Its a simple put in what you need to use situation, what you don't use is stored as FAT. Unfortunately, food and/or eating has steadily become a massive source of entertainment rather than just fuel. If we eat out we are unlikely to be able to find out the exact number of calories we are eating or in fact the size of our portion. Counting calories is hard work. The consequences of not making health conscious food choices is even harder.
On the flip side, obsessing over every calorie consumed and used does not sound like much fun and could become as unhealthy as wreck-less eating over time. Living this way for a prolonged period could damage your mental health and lead to an obsessive disorder giving you a severely unhealthy relationship with food.
So…...what do we do?? The answer is education and balance. Find out how many calories you need to consume based on your level of activity and future goals. Re- train your self to choose fuel over food, learn the nutritional value and correct portion sizes of the foods you eat. After a time, this will become your norm. The food manufacture industry is not going to make this easy for you. They do not want you know what is really in their products…... because you wouldn't buy them if you did. Real food doesn't need packaging or a list of ingredients!
Its all about balance, be mindful of what you eat 95% of the time and give yourself a little more freedom for the remaining time. Yes we all want to be healthy, look and feel our best but we also still want a slice of birthday cake, a huge Christmas dinner and a glass or two of the good stuff! Eating this way is far more sustainable than being overly strict or completely slack with your diet.
Education and balance.

Forty percent of children under the age of five in Zambia suffer from stunting. To address this worrying trend, policymakers have placed food and nutrition security at the forefront of national priorities. At a recent National Food and Nutrition Summit held in Lusaka, stakeholders emphasized the need for a multisectoral approach to end malnutrition and improve food sustainability in the country.
The conference, supported in part by IFPRI's Food Security Portal, brought together a number of participants from government ministries and agencies and development organizations.
Latest FAO GIEWS Country Briefs and Special Alerts
FAO's Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS) has released several new country briefs and special reports for Africa south of the Sahara.
Globalization has played a key role in the sustained economic growth seen in Africa south of the Sahara in recent years, according to IFPRI's 2018 Global Food Policy Report. However, rising protectionism and anti-globalization in some developed countries could pose a threat to further economic growth and development in the region.
Variable rainfall could negatively impact agricultural production in southern Africa, according to reports from FEWS Net and the SADC's Food Security Early Warning System (Agromet).
Since June 2016, FEWS Net has followed the market situation in Nigeria; the country faces continuing economic challenges due to a global decline in crude oil prices and a depreciation of the national currency, as well as ongoing conflict in the northeastern regions. In the latest Nigeria Market Monitoring Bulletin, FEWS Net provides several updates of the implications of these challenges for the country and the region.
As we approach the Eleventh WTO Ministerial Conference (MC11), taking place from December 10-13 in Buenos Aires, developing countries' role in the negotiations remains in question. This will be the first ministerial to be held in South America and will provide an opportunity to reduce trade barriers and further liberalize the global trading system. In recent years, developing countries have accounted for an increased share in global trade, making them more relevant players in the negotiations.
The latest series of updated country alerts from FEWS Net provides food security and food production updates for several countries in Africa south of the Sahara.
Researchers and policymakers have become increasingly cognizant of the role that gender plays in food security in developing countries. A new IFPRI Discussion Paper takes an in-depth look at the implications of gender roles in household food security in Malawi and finds that improving joint access – i.e. access for both men and women – to agricultural and nutrition information and training can be an important driver in increasing households' food security.
Harvests are now ongoing across Mozambique, improving food availability throughout the country, says a new report from FEWS Net. In the southern and central areas of the country, food security outcomes are forecast to improve from Stressed (IPC Phase 2) to Minimal (IPC Phase 1) in June. In addition, second season harvests (expected in July-September) are developing well due to extended rains, with reasonably favorable prospects for maize, beans, and vegetables.

We think of a blanket as a source of comfort and warmth. When we feel cold and uncertain we crawl underneath. We wrap ourselves in one for protection. In business the blanket is called "references".
Hiring a personal services firm such as accounting, marketing or SEO usually involves wrapping ourselves in "references". We take comfort in contacting willing users of the prospective firm and learning their experiences. And where do we get those names? From the prospect of course.
Really? Would they offer you a name of an unhappy customer?
Given the fact that anyone with a connection to the internet can craft a persuasive looking website and even post wonderful "anonymous" or even false praise about themselves how do you look under the blanket?
Here are some simple and quick tests on how to look under the blanket.
- Ask in what state they are chartered. A quick internet search of the public record will tell you how long they have been in business and in many cases who the principles are.
- If they work with other vendors such as TV stations, check with the Management of that vendor. (Not the salesman whose income depends on the commissions)
- Do a court fillings search to see if there are any significant lawsuits now or in the past that need explaining.
- Call YOUR competitor and get a "reading". This may take some interpreting, but you know your competitor and how to read their comments.
- Do you belong to a trade organization or other info sharing group? Ask around.
- Talk to their banker.
A quality firm will be in business in good standing and for some time (#1). Their vendors will give them high marks for quality and business acumen (#2). While disagreements occur, they should not have many issues with their former clients (#3). Your competitor will talk a lot about them or a little, but talking indicates they have an effect on the marketplace. "Never heard of them" and other similar phrases indicate low impact on the industry (#4). Trade organizations are a wonderful source of intel (#5). Are they financially solid enough to manage the scope of your project? Or are they capitalizing their firm with your money? (#6).
Hiring a personal services firm involves a longer commitment than buying hard goods. Information and cooperation pass in both directions for many months before you realize whether you have made a good or bad decision. Get the references for sure, but don't stop there. Look under the blanket of references. It will only a take an hour or two to accomplish some of the above and it will save you months of agony.

When you go out into the woods and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You appreciate it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn't get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don't get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying "You're too this, or I'm too this." That judging mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are. ~ Ram Das

Five Horse Johnson – Jake Leg Boogie (2017)
320 kbps | 101 MB | LINKS
Five Horse Johnson – Taking of Blackheart (2013)
The blues means many things to many people. To some, the purists, it is the scratchy honesty of Robert Johnson with his devil-fueled fretwork. To others, it is the rock n roll that he influenced, be it Cream, The Stones, or early Fleetwood Mac. When Five Horse Johnson formed back in 1995, referring to itself as a blues band, a few brows might well have been furrowed. However, this is a band that has always understood that the blues isn t a formula, but a way of looking at the world; their take on the blues is a dirty, sensual thing enhanced with a healthy dose of humor. FHJ is now 17 years and six albums into its career, with a seventh about to drop. The band has dug a niche of its own, combining a love and respect for traditional blues and classic rock to become one of the most loved and respected bands in the stoner rock community.Released in January 2013, The Taking of Black Heart literally sees retro-rock survivors Five Horse Johnson "galloping" back into action — or at least that's the rhythmic feel of the album's opening number, "The Job," the image gracing its cover art, etc. Given all they've been through (none of it more traumatizing than frontman Eric Oblander suffering a stroke!), few would expect the group to come riding in to rescue classic rock from a fate worse than death (irrelevance), especially some six years removed from their last long-player's release. But as song after song rolls by, oftentimes driven by bluesier and rootsier songwriting ethics than 5HJ's ever displayed before, hope does spring eternal — amen, bruvvers and sistahs, alright. Wailing harmonica and slippery slide guitars wrap themselves round and round laid-back groovers ("Keep on Diggin'," "Smash & Grab," "Die in the River") and foot-stomping bruisers alike ("Black Heart Baby," "Shoot My Way Out"), thereby luring patrons left and right into 5HJ's juke joint — and the first shot of canned heat is on them. Heck, and if any additional credibility were needed, get a load of Cheap Trick's Robin Zander taking over the mike stand for the album's funkiest, most euphoric moment in "You're My Girl" — Otis Redding surely would approve. Perhaps more than any other track, the latter also highlights Five Horse Johnson's enduring faith and pure joy in playing rock & roll, regardless of how many paying customers show up on any given night. They're a band's band, at the end of the day: playing to play — and The Taking of Black Heart is therefore a welcome return, bringing good news to the rock & roll faithful everywhere.

In 2004 I wrote an account for the UK storytelling magazine Facts & Fiction of how as an Englishman based in Germany I had become a teller of traditional folk tales to adult audiences. The article provided the occasion to look back on what had happened and what I had learnt. As befits a wonder tale, much was by coincidence and good fortune. However, I quickly learnt the need for organisation, and perhaps more slowly learnt the need to learn the art. Now Eric Wolf's invitation serves as a chance to update that review, especially regarding any learning. Read the rest of this entry »

Romanian Storytelling Camp
Feb 19
Hi Eric and readers of the Art of Storytelling Blog,
For me this first storytelling camp was a wonderful experience and also a dream that became reality…..
I decided to have a really entertaining program for this camp, so that it would be special for the children, a really story camp. We had trips, stories, fire camp, parties and of course we played a lot with the sleighs in the snow.
During the three days of camp, we had four storytelling workshops.
I started the "program of stories" with a beautiful one about forgiveness and about what it means to have a good heart full of love and friendship instead of hate or anger, and so, I gave a Read the rest of this entry »
Picture a fairytale castle perched on a cliff-top on the romantic Welsh coast; at the foot of the castle, a medieval jousting field, fringed by woodland, the tower of an ancient Saxon church rising above the trees. Terraced gardens slope gently down from the castle to the sea. In every garden, there is a tent. And in every tent, a storyteller….
This is St Donats Castle, the setting for Beyond The Border Wales International Storytelling Festival, which I set up with the help and encouragement of leading UK storyteller Ben Haggarty in 1993. Ever since then, BTB has been dedicated to exploring and celebrating the world's rich heritage of oral tradition, bringing to Wales an unparalleled selection of storytellers, Read the rest of this entry »

Here's my weekly Weight Watchers update: I lost 3.4 more pounds.. that makes for 8.4 pounds total. :) I'm very happy with how things are coming along. Also, Tuesday I started walking on my lunch break with two of my co-workers, Angela and Maria... and it seems we are an inspiration! We were given silver stars at our meeting today. I know, it sounds kinda cheesy... but that little silver star totally brought back elementary school mems of those stars the teacher would hand out to the good kids. I would do anything to get one then. Some things never change.

"Stephanie that is going to be the tricky part. You're biggest risk after you leave here is bleeding like you did in the PACU. It will be important for you to give your body time to heal. If your heart rate climbs too high too early after this procedure you will throw a clot and bleed. I am going to recommend 10-12 days of no activity. Do not climb stairs, do not take walks, stay sedentary."
I nodded at him calmly. "But after 10-12 days I can train right?"
"Not exactly. You may resume normal activity. As far as training like you were before, you will need to ease back into it."
I nodded again more vigorously "Ok. Cool."
But Dr. M was not fooled. He knew I had stopped listening after the words resume normal activity and he wasn't going to let me off the hook that easily. "Stephanie if you do not go back to exercise slowly your body will make you slow down but in a much more unpleasant way. Be aware. You will feel light headed, nauseous, and your nose may spontaneously bleed. You might pass out. If you are out on your bike it will be dangerous."
I scowled at him. How did he know what my body could handle? My arms and legs had not been operated on. They were fine. Give me my running shoes, I'll trot out of here right now. Spontaneous nose bleeds. What did he think I was a second grader with a habit for picking my nose? I would show him.
I think my stubborn nature and ignorance at recovery from major surgery amused him. He didn't crack a smile but I saw something change in his demeanor. Maybe it was recognition of a kindred spirit. Someone who did not have time to be slowed down by the inefficiencies of the human body. I would learn later from one of his colleagues that he competed in Iron Man triathlons and ran marathons quite competitively until his knee had forced him to retire.
"Patience is a virtue Miss Fahs."
As he said what I can only guess is his mantra because I have heard him say it multiple times now he moved closer to the end of my hospital bed. He looked down at my legs still wrapped up in compression boots, "I understand your frustration. It will take time but you'll get there" and then he reached down and placed his hand on my left foot and gave it a quick squeeze. It only lasted a second but I remember it surprised me. Even though this man had been rooting around inside my head yesterday this felt like something a friend would do as a show of support. I don't think he even meant to do it. It was an impulsive act and as soon as he did it he pulled his hand back quickly like he had accidentally placed it on a hot stove. I remember feeling a little smug. Dr. M had just betrayed himself. For his cool, unfeeling, and mechanical demeanor, Dr. M had a soft spot.
He would never want his patients to know it but this Tin Man had a heart.

My Theory of Limbo
Even accepting 2SOT is not enough. There is a need to come out with a more specific definition of limbo that would replace the generic definition I mentioned earlier.
This what I propose: Limbo is a dream construct where a person connected to a dream machine would be trapped in if he or she dies in a one-layer deep dream while still very heavily sedated in reality.
If you notice, the key word here is "one-layer deep dream". Based on examples in the film and logical reasoning, I will explain why this theory works. The mention of limbo in the film first surfaced at the "van level". It was the scene when Eames suggested killing the wounded Saito to put him out of his misery, only to be stopped by Cobb who explained the consequences of that action by bringing in the concept of limbo.
Technically, one could kill a teammate in a deeper dream level to bring him back to a shallower level. However, in this case, killing Saito would not work because Yusuf's sedative, which was meant to keep the team sedated for dreams that were three levels deep, was too powerful. Cobb explained that Saito would not wake up at the "airplane level", and that his mind would go into limbo, a place where the mind would be stuck in until the sedative wore off. This could mean a perceived eternity for whoever who was trapped in limbo. By the time the person woke up, his mind would be so messed up that he would have lost sense of reality. Cobb then advised the team to proceed with the mission as planned, which was to go into the deeper dream levels.
Why is the key word "one-layer deep dream" so crucial to the understanding of limbo?
The only way to enter limbo is to die in a "one-layer deep" dream under very powerful sedation in reality. Case in point: Cobb and Saito were the only ones to enter limbo during the heist (inception) sequence. We saw that Saito died at the "snow level" but this was because he died from his wounds at the "van level (one-layer deep)" which affected his dream selves in the deeper levels. When a person dies in a dream, a logical consequence would be that he could no longer dream of a deeper level. Thus, Saito's mind would have nowhere else to go except into limbo.
As for Cobb, he drowned at the "van level (one-layer deep)" after the van crashed into the river, bringing him into limbo. When Arthur wanted to save Cobb, Ariadne gestured to him to let Cobb drown so that he could go into limbo. Cobb expressed this rather vaguely to Ariadne at the "building level" saying that he needed to find Saito and that he was "somewhere here".
Contrary to popular belief, Cobb did not go into limbo because Mal stabbed him at the "building level". If Cobb died from his stab wounds, he would merely wake up at the "snow level" (provided that he died quickly enough and that the snow fortress had not exploded yet). However, based on the "slow time" theory, it would be logical to infer that the snow fortress would have exploded way before Cobb could die from his stab wounds at the deeper level. Therefore, the argument that Cobb went into limbo because he died at the "building level" is nowhere as sound as the argument that he drowned at the "van level".
A person cannot enter limbo if he dies in a dream within a dream i.e. at least two levels deep. Case in point: At the "building level", Ariadne and Fischer jumped to their deaths only to wake up at the "snow level". Both of them did not enter limbo, but merely returned to a shallower dream level. Based on this reasoning, if Arthur killed himself at the "hotel level", he would wake up at the "van level". Similarly, if Eames killed himself at the "snow level", he would wake up at the "hotel level"; if Eames killed himself again at the "hotel level", he would wake up at the "van level" too. However, if both of them killed themselves at the "van level", they would go into limbo.
Why this was so was because the powerful sedative as devised by Yusuf was used only in reality. It was not brought into any dream level to be administered accordingly. If the sedative was brought into the different dream levels, it would be pointless to use because it would not allow the team to wake up from a deeper dream level when the time came. Instead they had to wait for weeks or even months for the sedative to wear off ("slow time" theory), running the unnecessary risk of entering limbo from the deeper levels.
Instead, the sedative used in the dream levels was an ordinary (read: mild) one which would cause a person to wake up in a shallower level when a "kick" was given. This was important because Cobb's team had planned a system of synchronized "kicks" that would allow them to ride down from the "snow level" to the "hotel level" to the "van level", where they would wait for the powerful sedative to wear off in reality. Another possible explanation which is slightly far-fetched in my opinion is that the sedative used in the dreams were imagined. The team imagined they were sedated so that could enter a deeper level of dream.

I try not to dwell too much on the guilt I feel from being a working mommy.
Most days I'm pretty successful at supressing the guilt.
But then are days when the guilt overwhelms me.
Like today, for example.
Like today, for example.
Alexander had his first day of Pre-K!
And I missed it.
Logically, I know he was just fine without me. All I would have done is ride shotgun in our carpool drive and held his hand as he walked to the front door.
Emotionally, I'm so not fine with missing the day.
I wasn't home to take pictures (which is why there are none for this post). I wasn't home to watch the excitement build or help him pick out his first day of school clothes. I wasn't home to listen to his first day of school chatter on the way to school. And I wasn't home to listen to stories upon his return home from school.
Instead, I came home (late) to a sleeping toddler who, upon waking from his late nap, didn't want to tell me anything. As in, "I want to have secrets, Mommy, and what I do at school is a secret".
Fortunately, this working mom spends her days prying secrets out of unruly teens so his four year old tricks are no match for a seasoned vet like me. Fast forward a few hours and you'll find us sitting on the couch. He's wrapped in blankets and in between episodes of Dirty Jobs, I ask question after question about his day. I'm not ready for pre-k secrets. Alexander is tolerating me well enough but in his little 4 year old way, he's done with me. And my questions. But I'm winning.
Sometimes, I simply want to go back to the days before mommy guilt.
Can you blame me?

Up until September 2007, 345 EEO complaints were filed against TSA alleging different forms of discrimination, compared with 297 in 2006. Of the 345 complaints,110 were filed based on disability, 85 on retaliation, 81 on race, 76 on sex, 62 on age, 23 on color, 20 on national origin, 8 on religion, and 16 on non-EEO issues. Many of the complaints were filed alleging multiple bases.
But this data was reported only through September 2007, which means more complaints might have been filed but have not been reported. TSA is required by the No FEAR Act to post its EEO data quarterly on its Web site, but the agency is currently not meeting this requirement. The last time it updated the data was in September 2007. Unfortunately, there is no enforcement mechanism to address TSA's non-compliance because the No Fear Act does not specify what action the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission may take if an agency doesn't comply with the law.
Even though the number of EEO complaints filed increased last year, AFGE believes the number of complaints reported by TSA each year is not an accurate accounting of the number of incidents of discrimination that take place at TSA. TSOs have reported that many of them decide not to file an EEO complaint for fear of retaliation from management.
TSA is also required to report annually the amount of money it has reimbursed into the Judgment Fund, which is a fund set up by the Department of Justice to pay claimants who have won awards and settlements in EEO and whistleblower cases. The No FEAR Act requires this reimbursement as a way of holding agencies accountable for the discriminatory actions of its employees. Prior to the No FEAR Act, federal agencies lacked accountability for enforcement of federal anti-discrimination and whistleblower statutes since any monetary judgment against an agency was paid from the Judgment Fund rather than the agency's own operating budget.
"All other federal agencies are required to share this data in a timely fashion," said Andrea Brooks, AFGE National Vice President for Women and Fair Practices. "This is so Congress will know that the laws in this area are being adhered to. AFGE is very, very troubled by the numbers and types of EEO claims at TSA. It is the U.S. taxpayers who are paying for TSA's blatant disregard for the law."
AFGE has a team of lawyers dedicated to litigating EEO complaints for TSOs.

Provigil was first introduced in 1970 by Lafon, a French pharmaceutical corporation. Its purpose was to help narcoleptic patients stay alert and awake.
However, it wasn't until the 90s that they brought Provigil to the US. There, they prescribed it for a condition known as Shift Work Sleep Disorder. In fact, they included other sleep disorders too. They are Narcolepsy, Sleep Apnea, Leg Cramps, and Insomnia. At first, Provigil seemed like an effective pharmaceutical product. The drug served its purpose well. However, in recent years it gained mainstream popularity for its astounding alertness-promoting effects. They call this a Provigil high. It seems quite exciting, but is it safe though?
What is a Provigil High?
Provigil's main ingredient is Modafinil. It affects the brain by increasing levels of catecholamines from synaptic terminals. They are norepinephrine and dopamine. In other words, it affects the CNS. It does it by boosting the production of mind-alerting chemicals in the brain. As a result, one gets heightened alertness and vigilance.
Once these chemical levels reach their peak, a change happens. The person feels very much awake, sharp, focused and able to finish the hardest tasks. In addition, it brings about a sense of euphoria, which is more often than not hard to say no to. Furthermore, besides enhancing productivity, Provigil can also counteract depression. As a result, it help the user successfully accomplish mundane daily tasks.

Treatment Is Fully Covered by Insurance In Most Cases
Recreational use
Usually, one can get Provigil with a doctor's prescription. Also, the user should use it for medical purposes. However, its medical use turned into a recreational one for its manifold benefits. The Provigil high has become very popular among people who deal with boring daily tasks. They include writing and programming. Therefore, it shouldn't come as a surprise that so many people use it. In fact, college students, accountants, and programmers swear by it. They refer to it as "the smart pill". In addition, some of them cannot stop using it. Of course, the reasons why people use Provigil can vary quite a lot:
- Better/longer attention span
- Alertness
- Watchfulness
- Promotes mental acuity and processing speed
- Provides the ability to work late
- College students use it for long studying hours
- It can help fight depression
- People have reported that it can benefit one's weight loss process
What are the Side Effects of Recreational use of Provigil?
Meanwhile, the users of the drug can benefit from its many mind-altering effects. Often, they prefer to overlook the possibility of side effects that it can cause. This is especially when they have consumed the drug for longer periods of time. Side effects of a Provigil high may include:
- Back pain
- Nausea
- Nervousness
- Stuffy nose
- Diarrhea
- Anxiety
- Dizziness
- Upset stomach
- Trouble sleeping
Additionally, Provigil addiction can be quite rare. However, it is possible to develop a dependence on it. Other than the above mentioned side effects, there are other problems. People have also reported that avid users of Provigil have experienced some difficulties. In fact, they will have headaches and frustration after ceasing their daily dosage.
What you should know before taking Provigil?
Anyone who is at least interested in taking the drug should first talk their doctor. However, if you choose to take matters into your own hands, consider the following factors. This way, you can avoid life-threatening situations from a Provigil high:
- Don't use Provigil if you are between the ages of 10 and 19
- Do not use Provigil is you are pregnant, want to become pregnant or if you are breastfeeding. It's because it may impede fetal development.
- You should not drink alcoholic beverages while on the drug
- Do not take more than 200 mg per day
Furthermore, do you see the following symptoms occur while you are on Provigil? Then, stop taking the drug and call your doctor right away:
- Swelling of the face, eyes, lips, tongue, or throat
- Skin rash, hives, sores in your mouth, or your skin blisters and peels
- Trouble swallowing or breathing
Of course, this is understandable. The idea that people choose to rely on an attention-enhancing, and performance-boosting drug. Modern life is very hectic. We do not seem to have enough time to get everything done. However, careless consumption of Provigil can lead to dire side effects. As a result, the user will need medical attention. You should not use Provigil without a doctor's prescription and proper medical watch. In fact, it is highly advised against. However, you might opt to take the risks of its recreational use. Then, make sure to consider the full consequences.

Comparisons to her uncle Tiger may be inevitable, but Cheyenne Woods is coming out from under her famous relative's shadow with a win at the Australian Ladies Masters on Sunday. ESPN.com reports that Woods earned her first her first major professional tour victory by holding off 17-year-old Australian amateur Minjee Lee by two strokes. The 23-year-old golfer closed with a 4-under 69 at Royal Pines to finish at 16-under 276. Lee also shot 69 in the event sanctioned by the European and Australian tours. Woods' two-stroke lead came when she birdied the par-5 15th, hitting a wedge from about 120 yards to 4 feet. On the par-5 18th, she holed out from 1½ feet as she matched Lee with a birdie.
Speaking of the impact of winning a Ladies European Tour event, an emotional Woods labeled the moment as "a huge accomplishment for me." "The European Tour has been great to be able to play this past year, she said while acknowledging her fellow golfers. "I've been able to see all of these great players, play with Solheim Cup members. … To be able to come out here and compete with them and come out on top was huge for me."
Cheyenne Woods' win in Australia, which earned a congratulations from Tiger Woods on Twitter on Sunday, comes two years after turning professional in 2012 after an All-America career at Wake Forest. Her only pro victory prior to her winning the Ladies Masters was in a SunCoast minitour event in 2012.
Despite the weight of being Tiger Woods' niece, Cheyenne has been able to live with the high expectations that come along with her family connection. "I've been pro for two years, and for the majority of it, people just think of me as Tiger Woods' niece, so now I have a game of my own and I have a title now, a win, which is exciting. It's nice now to say to people that I can play and I'm not just a name," she told the site. "Growing up with the last name of Woods, there's a lot of expectations and pressure and spotlight on you but I always knew that I was able to win. I always knew I'd be able to compete with these ladies so now it's kind of a weight off my shoulders because now everybody knows, not just me."
For her overseas win, Woods walked away with $51,000 in prize money and a two-year exemption on the Ladies European Tour events. The golf pro will be seen next week when she plays in the LPGA tour-sanctioned Women's Australian Open in Victoria.

Nil's Quick Beanie
Pattern | Koolhaas by Jared Flood
Yarn | 100purewool.com Merino Worsted 3 ply in Blue & Bluish
Needles | 4.5 mm & 5 mm circulars
I finished this in the beginning of the month but never got around to blogging about it due to all the excitement with my soaps as well as going through salesforce reporting assignments.
I must be frank – I have never knitted much for my hubby. Every time I offered to knit something, he would declined. If I made something on a whim, I end up being the one to wear it like that blue entrelac scarf I made a few years back. So it was not surprising that whenever I do knit something for him, I either take ages or…urm, I just don't do it. Hehehe.
This time around, *he* asked for a knitted item but only because his trusty beanie sported a hole and stank to high heaven. It was something his late grandma made for him and I could see that he cherishes it. He continued to wear it year after year and only recently when his dad bugged him to get a new one, did he finally ask me to make him one. But true to form, he gave me a pretty tight deadline and was quite picky with the colour.
"Nothing too bright" (when I suggested a nice red)
"Nothing too small or weird" (when I suggested a pattern)
The pattern he originally picked was…well, complicated so I got tired and settled on Koolhaas which I had done before for my brother. I knew it was a forgiving pattern which allowed for plenty of stretch. In the end, Nil was quite happy with the knit but not so happy with modelling it for me (as you can see in the picture).
I still have half a ball of yarn left so will either chuck it away until I need it for something small or…make another hat with it?
