Our group finally arrives by Prospitian warship onto the Land of Libraries and Entropy, at the foot of a Turtle village on the shores of a massive lake. Disembarking from the vessel, the party enters the village and is greeted by the local population of Consorts, as well as the Village Elder, a wizened old Turtle named Frumple. During their brief stay, the group is addressed by a young and rather shy Turtle warrior named Gurpie. During their conversations, the kids reveal their quest to seek out a hidden treasure stashed away by a ‘friend’ of theirs (really Future Will). Gurpie informs the party of a massive library in the middle of the lake, and inquires about the treasure contained inside. Brian lies and claims the treasure contained within is the recipe for ‘pizza’, a mythical food from another realm. Excited about the prospects of ‘pizza’ (although concerned about its inclusion of cheese, manufactured from the uncomfortably-sourced mammal milk), Gurpie offers her services as a guide to the island.
Set up with boats and supplies by the friendly Consort villagers, the group proceeds far into the lake. Using the cover of the fragmented timestreams across the surface of the Land, they circle the island from a distance and arrive at an unguarded portion of the island. Using her new Treasure, Elysse astrally projects her soul outward towards the groups of guards protecting the door, using the bulk of the Ogres to smash the remaining guards and send them flying into the ferrofluid lake. The team enters and begins exploring, relying on Elysse’s soul projection powers to explore the rooms around them safely.
During the explorations of the main chamber on the first floor, the group finds puzzles and riddles left behind by Future Will to provide hints as to the location of the Treasure. A whiteboard in the main chamber has a cipher written on it that provides the clue that the Treasure rests on the second floor. Taking this clue in stride, the team exits the library and uses vines along the side of the library to climb up to a blown-out room on the second floor. Splitting up, the team begins exploring the rooms, making full use of Elysse’s astral projection to safely search. However, the doors are discovered to lock and unlock periodically. Over the course of a half hour, the team discovers that the doors lock and unlock over several minutes, with brief windows of opportunity to open the doors.
In one room, Elysse and Brian uncover a safe with a set of clues to open it. They worked to uncover the letters that formed the passcode, eventually settling on the word ‘knife’. With that, the safe exploded, leaving a small message inside with the words “HAA HAA – Jack”. Clearly, the Archagent was within the building and looking to hinder their efforts. With this, Elysse projects her spirit towards the center of the library on the advice of one of Future Will’s clues, and finds Jack Noir there, directing efforts while surrounded by strong guards. Using the same trick as before, Elysse possesses one of the guards and knocks the rest of the group off of the rickety floors down to the ground below, leaving, Jack on his own.
With that, the team bursts into the central room, which is a large Planetarium with a functioning model of the Incipisphere. There, they did battle with a surprised Jack, catching him off guard and handily defeating him, although not without taking a severe beating from him and his poisoned blades. Brian, positioned to deal the finishing blow to a weakened Jack, is confronted by the decision to murder Jack or leave him alive. In this moment, poised between two options, Brian awakens some of his Blood powers and chooses to deal a non-lethal blow, incapacitating Jack instead of ending him.
What will happen next? What will they do with Jack the prisoner? Did Brian make the right choice? Find out next time…. on Bewbstuck!

Exalted: Gods Amongst Us
Ragara Pei Pei
Solar (Twilight Caste)
Eyes: Pale Blue
Motivation: “become the most powerful sorceress in the Realm and restore the Solar Deliberative.”
Anima: takes the shape of a large white wolf with trailing multi-colored plumes of smoke that dance off it’s back and flare in a bright multi-hued rainbow of dancing light surrounding Pei Pei.
Ragara Pei Pei
Pei Pei was born to Ragara Huang Fei (Royal Doctor and Primary Care to the Regent Fokuf) and Ragara Mei Lien (an outcast who saved the doctor from a horrific death.) Mei Lien does not talk about her past, but it is certain to both Pei Pei and Huang Fei that it was a very colorful and dangerous one. Although Pei Pei’s mother is supremely skilled in martial arts and is a blur of deadly speed and precision, she is a loving and devoted mother and wife to both her daughter and husband. Huang Fei was not interested in following the footsteps of his banking House. He was always fascinated with biology, medicine, and the art of healing. Huang Fei is the nephew of the Empress, and he is a loyal subject of the Scarlet Dynasty. Pei Pei has seen what the powerless must endure in the Realm, and she likes the station she was born into. Huang Fei is one of the many relatives of the Empress, and his position as Royal Doctor grants him a certain confidence with the Regent and Court. His entire life has been an Imperial Conditioning and his loyalty is absolute. Pei Pei’s childhood was a happy one, and she loves her parents.
Pei Pei began her primary tutelage at court. Her education was private and she accomplished much as a ten year old. She drank in so much knowledge in the first five years of her education without stopping for breath. Her life was consumed in learning, but she fancied the magical arts most of all. It was no secret growing up that her secondary schooling would be at the Heptagram. At the age of 15, Pei Pei had learned the subtleties of caligraphy, art, math, philosophy, politics, archery, fencing, and some martial arts. The closing of her primary education was an auspicious time for her family.
The Heptagram Academy
The mysterious Isle of Voices was odd and dangerous before generations of students and faculty experiments—no surprise, since the whole island is one hugely powerful demesne. Kaleidescopic rains, a grove of talking brass treees, and a tor that invariably draws lightning from storms are only a few of the islands wonders. The islands small population of farmers and fishermen take all these strange occurences in stride, and students are warned to obey them without question. A shepherd might have seen more magic and danger on the spirit-haunted isle than a young Dynast can easily imagine…which sometimes pushes a student into the Ordeal of Humility before the faculty arranges it. Pei Pei’s initiation into sorcery began with an almost instant rivalry with her first cousin, Sesus Sphev. Sphev found out from the beginning his cousin, Pei Pei, was higher born and this did not sit well with him. Pei Pei’s Trial of Humility began with the endless taunting and competition between her and Sphev. Sphev would deliberately try to corrupt anything she did, and he was quite cunning at keeping out of trouble. He made Pei Pei’s life a living hell for a time, until her Trial of Tutelage began.
Pei Pei left court to contemplate her woes at the family estate near Juche in the southern tip of the mountains. Her humiliation and frustration lead her home. While walking the grounds of her childhood home, she began to feel a presence. This spirit or ghost wasn’t terribly subtle in letting itself be known. Pei Pei would occasionally get a glimpse of a very young child dressed in fine purple silks, leaning against a tree or watching her reflection in a pool off one of the paths. At first, she thought the child was visiting, perhaps her mother was entertaining or neighbors, not that she had ever seen a neighbor, were visiting. It was only when she came close enough to the child that she realized this wasn’t a child at all. When she looked at the spirit, she saw a muddled almost out of focus face. The face wasn’t the most peculiar thing about this spirit, because her eyes were faintly glowing lavender orbs. These orbs matched the silks she wore. On occasion Pei Pei would see her fingertips glowing with a similar lavener radiance but none of this was frightening to her. Her instruction from the nameless spirit began almost immediately after this encounter, as if it were on an unknown schedule that Pei Pei wasn’t aware. The spirit, only known as Storm, opened up a universe of knowledge to Pei Pei. This spirit was really a messenger of Mela, the Immaculate Dragon of Air. And she drank the knowledge like water, which for all intents and purposes was a great transition to her third trial—the Journey.
Pei Pei traveled to the Elemental Poles to discover the secrets of sorcery, thus beginning her understanding of life and her role in it. The knowledge gleened was part logic and intuition with playful Storm helping her with the details.
Pei Pei’s Fourth Trial, the Trial of Fear, was the most difficult to move beyond. Pei Pei’s greatest fear was losing her power and her will. Storm visited her dreams while Pei Pei glimpsed a world where she was a slave with nothing to offer but meanial work and servitude. She basked in mediocrity and fell into a deep melancholy—Pei Pei’s resolve over this trial is less fragile as time passes.
The fifth trial, the Trial of Sacrifice nearly drove Pei Pei mad. The darkest secret of her life would be revealed with this trial, and she wasn’t ready for the outcome. This story begins with her stipend approval during her primary education. She was placed in the Pelep House as steward for her family and House Pagara. This was a Royal duty that she was excited for, because she was able to visit the sea and was given the honor of staying with Pelep Sorugan—Grand Admiral and overall commander of the entire Royal Navy. The Admiral had a son called Feipu, and Pei Pei was enchanted by him. He was a perfect gentleman and often played tricks on her to make her laugh. One thing lead to another and Pei Pei and Feipu fell deeply in love. As the years passed, rumors got back to Pei Pei’s mother about her affair with Feipu. Pei Pei was given a letter from her mother stating that the relationship with Feipu must end and no one must speak of it again. Of course, Pei Pei was devastated and confused. Feipu was the son of one of the most decorated heroes of the Realm. He was similar age and station, and she hoped for their love to become a betrothal. As in all things difficult, Pei Pei had to accept her Mother’s words. Her duty was to her family and her Great House, but it was a pain she would never fully shed. Her mother never spoke of it again. Pei Pei would have to live with this for the rest of her life.
Storm was particularly hard on Pei Pei after her Fifth Trial, because her concentration was mostly on Feipu and whether or not she could bare to see him again. During an exercise in defensive combat, Pei Pei was unfocused and lost her footing. She was near a ten foot ledge in the east-facing garden that she loved the most. As she fell over the side, a weightlessness surrounded her and she was surrounded by the brightest light—she could barely keep her eyes open. The light was warm and comforting, but resonated power. She felt her feet touch ground, but it felt as if she were under water. She drew breath and she could step forward or back, but she felt as if she were sealed in water. Then the voice came to her. “Your destiny is before you, and you must become stronger than the foundations of the Realm you wish to heal!” And the large male figure with hair of bright sunlight and gentle eyes came to her and touched her forehead. She was filled with his power and given a new and heroic purpose
Huang Fei isn’t a prefect or courtier like the many relatives that covet the throne. He is a cut above the squabbling bureaucrats, with his title of Royal Physician. He maintains health and prosperity amongst them all. Mei Lien keeps their house at the foot of the mountains near the smaller city of Juche. Huang Fei visits often. Pei Pei’s schedule makes visits to the court and the Royal Library quite easy. Pei Pei is well received and quite charming to all who meet her. She has practiced detachment, which allows for eavesdropping and gossip to find her ears with the greatest of ease.
Ragara Pei Pei is most desperately in love with Commodore Pelep Feipu. Feipu is the eldest son of a Grand Admiral Pelep Sorugan. Grand Admiral Sorugan was fathered into the monarchy because of his great military strategies with various prefectory rebellions and naval assaults from the Inland Sea on the Blessed Isle. He is also a bureacrat with ambitions to one day seize the throne. The Regent ever cautious, has entertained Sorugan with title and land. He is extremely attractive and talented with both sexes—his former wife was condemned as a thief and her face was scarred with fire to brand her station to society. She hasn’t been seen since the Admiral began his ambitions of power. Pei Pei will forever mourn her gentleman Prince. Both her parents have made no mention of a candidate for her hand.
Ragara Pei Pei loves to write. She also loves to read anything involving sorcery and the art of magic. Her ambition is to become the most powerful sorceress in the Realm—even more powerful than Mnemon herself. Pei Pei is an accomplished caligrapher and her fencing skills are formidable. Pei Pei also loves to play the flute—a gift taught to her by her mother, Mei Lien. Pei Pei also loves long getaways in the country. She loves to fish and travel by sea. Near water is where she feels most at home, because it reminds her of Feipu.


Second Grade is complete! We’ve had a great year of learning. Parents, THANK YOU for supporting your child’s learning and behavior.
To be ready for Third Grade: keep working on telling time, counting money and making change, and continue to memorize those basic addition and subtraction facts (1+?, 2+?, 3+?….9+?). Please continue to have your child read 20 minutes every day this summer, so they don’t lose any of the skills they’ve worked so hard to attain. The Greene County Library sent home some information about their Summer Reading Program last week; they have some great incentives and prizes along the way. Get creative and have your child read a recipe as you cook together, read road signs, read to a younger sibling (or a pet or stuffed animal), read to a grandparent…there are opportunities everywhere you look! Keep it fun and keep reading!
Upcoming Events –
- Tuesday, August 14 – MEET THE TEACHER NIGHT
- Thursday, August 16 – FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
Have a wonderful summer!

So, talking of forbears, my grandmother, without being inconvenienced by the possession of any relevant information (as I assumed), boldly told me that James Macpherson, the freebooter hanged at Banff in 1700 – of Macpherson’s Rant and immortal Burnsian fame – was “one of your grandfather’s forbears”. Such boldness – like Thomas Carlyle’s, in hailing Macpherson, “one of the Nimrods and Napoleons of the earth”! – characterizes the whole story. Grannie had a life-long habit of always being right. The discovered facts that I now enumerate, however, prove nothing.
- Look at the panoramic view above. From left to right, it goes from the Braes to the Woods of Abernethy. The latter are described as “one of the haunts of Macpherson” by the revered author of the famous history of the united parishes of Abernethy and Kincardine, In the Shadow of Cairngorm (1900, p. 366). Alas, the Reverend Dr. Forsyth says nothing more on the subject.
- “According to the tradition of the country” (so stated by only one source, William Thomson (1746-1817)), the “Browns of Kincardine” were the first players of “Strathspey reels”, such as can be classified the tune associated with Macpherson’s name. The Kincardine hills are at the right of the photograph.
- We cannot be sure that Peter Brown, captain of the gypsy band, comrade of Macpherson, and fellow prisoner at the 1700 trial, was one of those Browns; but he certainly was a paid musician in whom the Laird of Grant took an interest – and his Highland Majesty’s Strathspey estate had included some of Kincardine parish since 1606. As Brown (in English, Scots, or Gaelic) was never a common name in the district, and paid musicians are always rare in a general population, it is probable that Peter Brown was connected with a musical race in Kincardine (if the statement about the “tradition of the country” is worth trusting).
- Since the New Statistical Account article on Banff was published in 1836, it has been invariably asserted that Macpherson was the illegitimate son of a gypsy woman and a Macpherson of Invereshie. The head of that house is chieftain of the lineage of Gillies. Yet the great genealogist, Sir Aeneas Macpherson of Invereshie, who lived until 1705, and recorded some illegitimate sons in his genealogies, says nothing about any connection with this renowned contemporary. Meanwhile, that Peter Brown and Macpherson spoke to each other in a peculiar language which witnesses deponed they could not understand makes the truth of the statement about Macpherson’s mother seem probable.
- In the 18th century a family named Lisach, a very rare form of Gillies, lived right in the Woods of Abernethy (firstly within Tulloch, Kincardine parish, and near to Rymore, where John, son of Donald, grandson of Gillies, the known ancestor of the Invereshie Macphersons, first settled in Badenoch in 1431). These Lisachs were vassals of the Laird of Grant. One may wonder if Macpherson was of this tribe, since that would explain why his story associates him both with the Laird of Grant and with the Clan Macpherson’s Sliochd Ghilliosa.
- There is little documentary evidence about the Lisachs, but one of them in the 1730s, a woman, is recorded in the minutes of the kirk session of Abernethy and Kincardine as “a vagabond”.
- In Macpherson’s “Last Words” he rages at the Laird of Grant’s attempt to repledge Peter Brown to Grant’s own jurisdiction but his doing nothing to extricate Macpherson from the Sheriff at Banff’s court. Here is an explanation fitting the circumstances: Macpherson protests that he and Brown, both vagabonds, both having sometimes peacefully dwelt within the regality of Grant, far from their places of plunder, should have been treated by its lord exactly the same.
- No one knows if Macpherson left bairns – but that he did is suggested (one can say no more) by Sir Walter Scott’s piece in the first number of the Quarterly Review (1809). “At the time the Waverley Novels were issuing from the press”, wrote James Imlach (probably alluding to a date not many years after 1814), such was the antiquarian or romantic interest to get information about Macpherson that his remains “at the foot of the gallow’s-tree where he suffered” were disinterred on Imlach’s instructions. But I am unaware of attempts by genealogists in the 19th century to dig up Macpherson’s family tree.
There is only one old headstone in Kincardine churchyard to commemorate the name Macpherson. In 1813 died one James Macpherson – whose alias was indeed Lisach. The elaborate carvings date from the 1820s and include a central thistle (included not as a national symbol, but as a religious one).
Two gold thistles were chosen as charges when arms were granted in 1985 in memory of my grandfather, Alexander Macpherson, messenger-at-arms. He was great-great-grandson of the 1813 James Macpherson alias Lisach. (The photograph shows the painting of the late Mrs. Jenny Phillips, Herald Painter; the “baton Sable tipped Argent”, in the cat’s paw, is indeed a wand of peace.)
Having presented you with a mystery which, while it can be elucidated, is unlikely ever to be solved, you might like to look at a very curious illustration of two thistles, each “in base”, by visiting the National Library of Scotland: http://digital.nls.uk/broadsides/broadside.cfm/id/14482. And do particularly note the verse, “The Laird of Grant, that Highland saint”.

Anyone interested in a fascinating account of the (fictionalized, but real in many ways) lives of entrepreneurs should pick up a copy of the Pulitzer Prize winner, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon.
Set in the 1930's, Kavalier and Clay are two cousins, one with a talent for drawing and one with writing skills, combine their talents to produce superhero comic books. I know, the story line sounds corny, but trust me it is not. The are signed to a "lifetime" contract of servitude by a trashy publisher, who owns all their good ideas for years before they break out of the deal. The trashy publisher makes millions on them, but pays them only thousands, in spite of their many attempts to get out of the deal. Throw in the Jewish diaspora from Europe, crazed Nazi supporters in the US trying to do them in, attempts to rescue family from certain death in Europe, expeditions to Antarctica, sprinkled throughout with the pursuit of magic and you have a fascinating, extremely well written, hard to put down story.
There are numerous lessons for entrepreneurs scattered throughout the book--such as make sure your lawyers read all contracts you sign, the "right" kind of personal sacrifices to make in pursuing your entrepreneurial dreams, how real life can easily get in the way of success, how and why rewards may need to be put off for many years, etc., etc.
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is a highly recommended book for budding entrepreneurs who want a taste of "living the entrepreneurial dream" before actually doing it.


The Peach Farmers is a unique glimpse into the history of the original Georgia peach. Learn about one of the most important agricultural products of the South from the farmers who toiled to create an American tradition. Grown for thousands of years in China, peaches were not sold commercially in the United States until the mid 1870s. Listen to stories told by Georgia's peach farmers, some of who are direct descendants of those who grew the very first "Elberta" peach. The Peach Farmers documentary is a great teaching tool demonstrating the tremendous hand labor required of the peach industry and the human relationships that have made it work. A Perry Swanson Production.


The Tome Edit
They were those most hit hard by the tactics used by the enemies of the Cartel during the Era of Fools, now they adapted to the new Era. Once known as the Lore, the Tome is the Cartel's arcane and magi-technological arm. Focused on innovation and expansion of their ability to analyze threats to the Cartel, drawing on a wide variety of esoteric sources of intelligence.
The Science of Exploration The Tome is, at its heart a collection of the bright, the inquisitive and the fearless. It's academics fathom the greatest heights of invention and it's explorers delve the darkest of the worlds many forgotten places in the name of knowledge. In the field of techno-arcana and 'spelunking' the Tome is unparalleled in it's ability to deploy; swiftly and cohesively, experts as well as expert assistance to potential sites all over Tyria. Weather Tome scholars and adventurers are required smuggle themselves across contested borders, brave exotic and deadly fauna or 'liberate' artifacts from the wrong hands their agents train relentlessly for the task.
The Art of Discovery The Tome is also however a collection of bright, inquisitive and fearless individuals and in the past 'debates' regarding the relative values of discoveries, methodologies or project goals have prevented prompt action being taken with disastrous results. There is at it's heart a fundamental cognitive dissonance, posses the agile mind of the questioner and never cease inquiring into the unknown, and be cautious about going too far too fast without proper preparation and due research. Striking the balance has vexed some of the finest minds in Tyria, but the Tome is no stranger to experimenting, and with each new Legate the Tome adapts, its minds forever standing on the edge of the abyss staring brazenly into the depths.
The following contains an in-depth description of those places where members of the Tome may work, study, gather, and dwell, as well as a brief history of each.
A foyer is the outermost reach of the Tome’s domain. Prior to the rise of the Elder Dragons, there were three foyers scattered across the globe. One was in Lion’s Arch, the capital of Kryta at the time. A second was located in Kaineng City, in Cantha. The last was in Vabbi, one of the three Provinces of Elona. Since the Elder Dragon’s rise, the foyers of Vabbi and Kaineng City have been cut off, assumed destroyed, while Lion’s Arch’s was heavily devastated with the rest of the city.
As of 1325 AE, two could have been found on continental Tyria, located in places of high interest. Both were hidden by methods only members of the Tome understand, and therefore could only be found by them. Every foyer came with a teleportation pad installed, marked by a golden disc on the ground one yard in diameter. One of those Foyers was destroyed in the Night of the Falling Axe.
Beneath the azure waves of the arch can be found various rubble and remains of the once grand capital of Kryta. Among these are a set of ruins identified by markings not known to any who view them. Members of the Tome will know what symbol to trace over the facade of stone, causing it shift in property. They can then slide through the stone like water, and emerge on the other side into fresh air and the Lion's Arch foyer.
Constructed of polished marble, the chamber is circular and about 30 feet in diameter. Columns hold up a ceiling, at the center of which appears to be a crystalline window, which allows naturally occurring sunlight to sift down upon a statue of a lion. Between the columns, one can see an unfettered view of the seascape around them, as though the rubble covering this foyer wasn't actually there. A number of plants grow in small, hovering pots of lavish style, providing fresh air.
Since the Night of the Falling Axe, this once grand Foyer was lost in a terrible explosion.
Within the bustling metropolis of humanity’s last great kingdom on continental Tyria, resides yet another foyer of the Tome. It can be found within the Durmand Hall, along the Kormir low road. In the library, along the back most-shelves, can be found a depiction of the goddess, Kormir, though it seems incomplete. Placing one’s hand upon Kormir’s outstretched fingers will allow one entrance to the Foyer beyond.
Constructed of polished marble, the chamber is tiny, barely nine feet in diameter. Shaped as a Hexagon, each wall bears the image of one of the six gods. Once inside, the room seals itself, the entrance way showing the sixth god, Kormir, whose picture is incomplete, for it seems as though her outstretched hand still seeks another to grasp; the way to leave the Foyer. Soft light seems to flow from each depiction of the six.
Although there have been several plans for a additional foyers since the rise of the Elder Dragons, a location for one has yet to be decided. Some believe Rata Sum may be a viable location, though others are concerned with the technology-driven asura. Others have suggested near the Durmand Priory’s monastery, yet a precise location to hide it hasn’t been discovered yet either. For the time being, other0 foyers do not exist.
The Vestibule is a large chamber made of alabaster and marble, in the shape of an octagon; it resembles the same design as the Lion’s Arch foyer. At its center is a statue in the form of a Canthan Mage, made of jade, which supposedly is a relic from the Zhang family (he was a prominent member of the bloodline, whom lived during the time of the Jade Wind, and fell to it while attempting to protect his numerous scrolls and tomes).
The gaps between the columns which hold up the ceiling reveal a sight many mortals would never see. In most directions one views naught but endless darkness, punctuated by sparks of light; the heavens and the stars. However, one place offers a view of what could only be the planet of Tyria itself, as though this place didn't even exist on the world, while others show the sun and the moon.
Historical documents clearly state what one see's beyond the Vestibule is nothing but mesmeric magic, eternally powered by the Jade Statue, meant to hide this place's location, and impress members of the Tome with the idea that, they and their arts are above the sordid affairs of the world.
In the center of the room, surrounding the jade statue, are three teleporter pads, connecting to two of the foyers in Tyria. Two remains inactive. Around each are vague markings, which used to allude to a different allegiance within the Tome.
Small pathways run from this central part of the chamber to each corner. Before each, one can see a marble statue of various members of the Tome from the past. Each of these people in turn holds a large, crystalline, scarlet sphere; a switch. Unlike those from the foyers, these work only with the proper command. The right phrase or word will cause the statues to shift, revealing hidden passageways, and any of the eight will function to bring one to any location further within the Tome’s domain.
The Grand LibraryEdit
The Grand Library of the Tome is the one chamber accessible to all members of the sect, and is the largest of its archives to date. Aside from a wealth of knowledge, it also acts as a common room for members of the sect to congregate within and mingle, able to safely discuss any number of topics among their own. It is two floors in height, though its sheer size is said to have grown over the ages.
Both levels of the grand library share similar furnishings. Both boast wall-to-wall red carpeting, the color of the Sect. The walls of both levels are entirely hidden by bookshelves and scroll racks, each of which is filled to capacity. Armchairs, couches, tables, and desks can be found on both floors, particularly in the corners, each comfortably padded with cushions. Crystals hover in select locations, spreading a constant light over all. A variety of plants flourish in hovering, lavish pots.
The second level of the library is largely a balcony, open to looking upon the first level beneath it. Sturdy oak railings act as a safeguard to prevent the absent-minded or those absorbed in their work from falling. The eastern and western sections have spiral staircases, allowing access from the first floor.
The first level of the library contains numerous shelves of books and scrolls, lined in rows and columns, and carefully organized. The southern wall has a door leading to a chamber with a statue of the sect’s founder bearing a teleportation crystal. The northern wall features a large area with chairs, couches, and coffee tables before a massive fireplace containing a magical, ever-burning fire; a place for members to relax and socialize (Liquor Cabinets and other refreshments are accessible here). The center of the first floor contains a depression in the floor, containing many desks and tables with which members may work at, the sides of which hold cabinets containing parchment, ink, quill, and other supplies.
Private Libraries, Studies, and OfficesEdit
Officials and above ranked members of the Tome are privileged with their own studies, offices, or libraries, at the Master’s whim. Each may furnish or use them to their own whim, and may invite others within the Sect to these locations at their leisure. Only Legates and the Master are able to enter such places uninvited. Only the Master may enter a Legate’s private chambers uninvited. None enter the Master’s chambers without invitation.
As of the reformation of the Tome, these offices can be accessed from corridors connected to the Grand Library. The Eastern Wall of the Grand Library has two halls which connect and house the offices of those of the Ivory Circle. The Western Wall of the Grand Library has two halls which connect and house the offices of those in the Obsidian Circle.
The Halls of the Three CirclesEdit
The Northern Wall of the Grand Library houses two halls which do not connect. The eastern hall leads to a large chamber carved in pure white Marble and Alabaster. Eight pillars holds up a high ceiling, from the top of which sunlight pours down. At the center of this circle of pillars, is a vast circle on the floor, the edges gilded in gold, the circle itself comprised of purest ivory. Around the circle are chairs padded with cushions and pillows of a matching white color, and a single throne of matching cushioning. This is the Hall of Ivory, the place where those of the Ivory Circle congregate for meetings with their Legate and Officials. There is a double door along the Northwestern wall of this chamber.
The western hall of the Grand Library’s northern wall leads to a large chamber carved of black Marble and Alabaster. Eight pillars hold up a high ceiling, from the top of which moonlight pours down. At the center of this circle of pillars, is a cast circle on the floor, the edges gilded in gold, the circle itself comprised of purest obsidian. Around the circle are chairs padded with cushions and pillows of a matching black color, and a single throne of matching cushioning. This is the Hall of Obsidian, the place where those of the Obsidian Circle congregate for meetings with their Legate and Officials. There is a double door along the Northeastern wall of this chamber.
The Doors of the Obsidian and Ivory Halls reveal stairwells that rise up to a third chamber. It appears much like an auditorium for lectures, which many seats at various heights in a circle around the chamber. The Chamber itself is comprised of Red Marble, though is absent columns. At the center of the hall is a circle, gilded in gold, surrounding a circle made entirely of Ruby. The seats around the chamber are comfortably cushioned in both black and white cushions. In the center of the circle, facing the other seats, are three throne-like chairs; One with black cushions, one with white, and the last with red. The Master’s and Legates’ chairs.
A new addition when the Lore evolved into the Tome, the Laboratory can be accessed from two halls along the south wall, which connect to a vast laboratory built entirely of Asuran technology. Although the space is so vast is almost emulates the size of the Grand Library itself, much of it is empty, waiting for new innovations and inventions by the Tome’s numerous magitech engineers. The space was created by the Lore’s Elementalists, who moved the earth and shaped the stone to Asuran architecture.
The Vaults offer a vastly different view than the library, offices, hall of circles, and laboratory. While libraries are warm, welcoming, comfortable, and pleasant, the vaults are more akin to a dungeon. They exist within a maze-like system of corridors, with seldom few souls aware of which stretches of blank wall contain vaults and which are just blank wall, or even trapped. Torches line the walls, their flickering light confusing and disorienting, further giving off an air of a dungeon.
The Tome's Vaults contain truly forbidden and valuable tomes and scrolls, but more commonly, artifacts of power. Several vaults deep in the maze contain all documentation of the Cartel's activities over the ages; all of the legal, and especially the illegal and illicit, activities. In some rare occasions, the Vaults are used as prison cells for the Lore. Only the Inquisitors and Master can properly navigate this place safely, for numerous traps litter the halls. Even then, to open the vaults requires the proper knowledge and tools, as many have been sealed and locked by magic.
Despite this, it is not uncommon for new members of the Tome to stand guard outside certain vaults, simple drudge work. They are given the knowledge of how to open their vault and what lies within, often as a test of one’s loyalty or ambition.
A small party of Shadow once entered the Vaults with the intent to remove documents that might harm the Cartel if they ever became public. After their mutilated remains were discovered, no other attempt was made, as the Master Shadow was merely testing the security of the Vaults, and was satisfied with the results. The Jade statue in the Vestibule is actually of the Master of the Lore assassinated by the Shadow at the end of the Era of Bosses. Rather than die to the Shadow, he transformed himself into Jade, having discovered how to duplicate the Jade Wind on a minor scale. The Vestibule and all inner domains of the Tome do not exist in Tyria, or on the world, but within The Mists. There are numerous secret passages to be found behind various bookshelves in the Grand Library, but they require such specific information to open that few have ever been stumbled upon. The Master of the Tome up to 1324 AE was kept a prisoner in his own study by his brother, whom was the true Master.
The Vestibule has historically been guarded by Kurzrick Wards. A cunning, if somewhat genocidal method for protecting the vital inner areas of the structure from intrustion. Each statue-entrace has a small secondary switch that must be enabled after the first at the other end of the tunnel. The entire system is carefuly timed so that a reasonably swift entrance must be made along the tunnel to prevent the defence activating. When it does, by dint of time or triggering from further within the structure, sluices open in the roof of the tunnel allowing sand and seawater to flood the space and trap or asphyixiate any intruder.

The Night Stalker is a television film which aired on ABC on January 11, 1972. In it an investigative reporter, played by Darren McGavin, comes to suspect that a serial killer in the Las Vegas area is in fact a vampire.
It was based on the then-unpublished novel by Jeff Rice titled The Kolchak Papers. Rice said he wrote the novel because, "I'd always wanted to write a vampire story, but more because I wanted to write something that involved Las Vegas." Rice had difficulty finding a publisher willing to buy the manuscript until agent Rick Ray read the manuscript and realized the novel would make a good movie. The 1973 novel (renamed The Night Stalker) wasn't published until after the TV movie had already aired, and was delayed according to Rice because the publisher wanted both Rice's original novel and the 1974 sequel The Night Strangler (written by Rice but based on the screenplay by author Richard Matheson) so "they could be placed on the top of the publisher's list in the 1 and 2 positions for 1974."
Directed by John Llewllyn Moxey, a veteran of theatrical and TV movies, adapted by Richard Matheson and produced by Dan Curtis, best known at the time for Dark Shadows, The Night Stalker became ABC's highest rated original TV movie, earning a 33.2 rating and 54 share which was unheard of for an original TV movie at the time. The TV movie did so well it was released overseas as a theatrical movie and inspired a sequel TV movie titled The Night Strangler, which aired in 1973, a single-season TV series of twenty episodes titled Kolchak: The Night Stalker which ran on ABC between 1974–75, and a short lived 2005 TV series called Night Stalker.
Actor Darren McGavin recalled that his involvement began when "My representatives called to say that ABC had purchased the right to a book called The Kolchak Papers. They were into a kind of first draft of a script by Richard Matheson, and they called the agency to ask them if I’d be interested in doing it. My representative read it and called me." The popular TV movie, along with its sequel and the TV series, provided inspiration for Chris Carter's The X-Files. Carter featured actor Darren McGavin in the show as a tribute to the actor and the project that inspired his popular series. Originally Carter had wanted McGavin to play Kolchak, but the actor elected not to, so the role was rewritten, making McGavin's character Arthur Dales the "father of the X-files".
In the opening, Kolchak is sitting on the bed of a sleazy hotel room, listening to a replay of his dictation on his portable tape recorder. The notes are about a series of murders that have plagued the Las Vegas Strip, and a cover up of those events by the authorities. All of the victims had their bodies drained of blood. When a meeting is conducted with the sheriff's department, the DEA, the police and others, they discover the suspect's true identity is Janos Skorzeny, who is the prime suspect in multiple homicides involving massive loss of blood extending back years. When Skorzeny attempts to rob a hospital, the police are called to stop him. Skorzeny is shot multiple times without effect, and manages to escape by outrunning a police car and motorcycle.
Kolchak has a girlfriend named Gail Foster (Carol Lynley) who earns her living as a dancer, which Kolchak attempts to get her to give up. At Gail's urging, Kolchak looks into vampire lore. The evidence persuades Kolchak to suspect that Skorzeny is a vampire, much to the disbelief of his boss Anthony Vincenzo (Simon Oakland). Kolchak is able to convince the police that they are fighting a vampire, as the suspect possesses incredible strength and cannot be harmed by gunfire. Kolchak ultimately destroys the vampire, and unlike subsequent productions, he does so with the help of his friend in the FBI (a credible eyewitness).
Kolchak writes his version of the story for the newspaper, and proposes to his girlfriend, telling her that they will both move to New York City. However, in quick succession, the authorities print a false version of the newspaper story with his byline, and threaten to charge Kolchak with first degree murder unless he quietly leaves Las Vegas. Kolchak is told that his girlfriend Gail has already been forced to leave the city for "engaging in unsavory activities". Carl exhausts his savings placing personal advertisements across the country in a futile attempt to find her.
The final scene is of Kolchak in the sleazy hotel room, finishing his book. He explains that if anyone tries to verify the events in the book, they will find that everyone involved in the incident in even the slightest way has either left town, is not talking, or is dead, there is no file on the suspect, all of the evidence has been destroyed by the authorities, and all of the bodies were cremated.

The film is based on an original unpublished novel written by Jeff Rice. The novel was subsequently published in paperback form after the movie aired. In the story, Las Vegas newspaper reporter Carl Kolchak comes across a serial killer while working on the Las Vegas Strip who is a modern-day vampire named Janos Skorzeny. Pocket Books finally published the book as a paperback original using the title The Night Stalker, with a photograph of McGavin wearing his trademark porkpie hat and seersucker suit.
The Night Stalker garnered the highest ratings of any TV movie at that time (33.2 rating - 54 share). It did well enough that it resulted in a 1973 follow-up movie called The Night Strangler and a planned 1974 movie titled The Night Killers which instead evolved into the 1974-75 television series titled Kolchak: The Night Stalker, with McGavin reprising his role in both. An episode of the series titled "The Vampire" was an actual sequel to this movie, deriving its story from characters introduced in it.
Following the series' cancellation, the franchise itself was still thought well enough of to prompt two more movies which were created by editing together material from 4 previous episodes of the series, with some additional narration provided by McGavin as Kolchak to help connect the plot lines. No new footage was included, however.
On September 29, 2005 ABC aired a remake of the 1974 series Kolchak: The Night Stalker, titled Night Stalker. ABC owned the rights to the original TV movies, but not the Universal TV series, and were limited only to using characters that had appeared in those movies.
The film was released on a double feature DVD with The Night Strangler by MGM Home Entertainment in 2004. The DVD also has a 21-minute interview with producer and director Dan Curtis divided up for each film (14 minutes for the first film and, then, on the flipside, a 7-minute interview discussing Strangler).

Instead, they have been working in partnership with Melton Baptist Church to create ‘virtual story time’ sessions that families can watch from the comfort of their own home.
Each session features a BMC Early Years student reading a beloved children’s book, with stories including The Tiger Who Came To Tea, Kipper’s Toybox, Sometimes I Feel Sunny and lots more.
If you’d like access to these story time sessions for your children, simply email us at email@example.com and we’ll be in touch!


Proposition: Libraries should be allowed to circulate digitized copies of physical works in their collections through Controlled Digital Lending.
Should libraries be allowed to lend digital copies of physical books in their collections? Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) is a legal theory that would allow libraries to do just that. But CDL raises novel legal questions that have never been decided by a court, and experts are divided on whether the untested legal theory is permissible under current copyright law and policy. In this session, the audience will get to hear from leading scholars arguing for and against the proposition, and then vote on which side has the more persuasive arguments.


Blackwell’s is delighted to welcome Professor A C Grayling, to discuss his latest book ‘War: an Inquiry’. Grayling will present a talk ‘On War: or, the battle over explanations, justifications, & prognostications’, followed by a Q&A session and a signing.
War is a blight on the history of humanity. Why does it happen? Is it in something in human nature, or in social and political arrangements? What are the effects of war? Is it ever justified? What is its future?
This event will be held in the Norrington Room.+ More

The Silk Road economic belt history started from the Han Dynasty. In order to revive the ancient Maritime Silk Road, the initiative that China and countries along the ancient Maritime Silk Road would build together a new 21st Century Maritime Silk Road was proposed by China.
– Maritime Silk Road Introduction
The Maritime Silk Road was a conduit for trade and cultural exchange between China’s south-eastern coastal areas and foreign countries. There were two major routes: the East China Sea Silk Route and the South China Sea Silk Route.
Starting from Quanzhou Fujian Province, the Maritime Silk Road was the earliest voyage route that was formed in the Qin and Han dynasties, developed from the Three Kingdoms Period to the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and fell into decline in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Through the Maritime Silk Road, silks, china, tea, and brass and iron were the four main categories exported to foreign countries; while spices, flowers and plants, and rare treasures for the court were brought to China. Therefore, the Maritime Silk Road was also known as « the Maritime China road » or « the Maritime spices road ».
– Maritime Silk Road History
The Maritime Silk Road, like its overland counterpart, had its origins during the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD). Although vast seas separate the four corners of the Earth, with advances in shipbuilding and navigational technologies, maritime transport came to provide unprecedented access to the most distant destinations.
It is known that the bulk of the raw and processed silk transported along the overland Silk Road during the Han Dynasty was produced primarily along China’s southern coast and in the coastal Wu, Wei, Qi, and Lu regions (present-day Shandong Province). Since ancient times, these areas have been thriving centers of shipbuilding as well as silk production. They were thus able to supply both commodities for export and the means to transport them across the sea. It was this combination that provided the social and material conditions necessary for the development of maritime trade during the Han Dynasty.
– East China Sea Route
Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou, the starting place of Maritime Silk Road. The East China Sea Route enjoys a long history of about 3,000 years. It was during the Zhou Dynasty that Ji Zi, a court official, was sent on a journey east, setting off from Shangdong Peninsula’s Bohai Gulf and navigating his way across the Yellow Sea, which led to the introduction of sericiculture (silkworm farming), filature and silk spinning into Korea.
When Emperor Qin Shi Huang united China, many Chinese fled to Korea and took with them silkworms and breeding technology. This sped up the development of silk spinning in Korea. These new skills and the technologies were subsequently introduced into Japan during the Han Dynasty. Since the Tang Dynasty, the silks produced by Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces were directly shipped to Japan. Many Japanese envoys and monks were also able to travel to Chang’an (now Xi’an) along this sea route.
– South China Sea Route
Guangzhou represented the starting-point of the South China Sea Route, which extended across the Indian Ocean and then on to various countries situated around the Persian Gulf. The types goods dispatched for trade consisted mainly of silk, china and tea, while imported merchandise included a variety of spices, flowers and grasses – hence it being commonly referred to as the sea’s ‘China Road’ and the sea’s ‘Flavor Road’ .
The route was first used in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and increased in popularity from the Three Kingdoms Period (220-280) to the Sui Dynasty (581-618). Up until the Tang Dynasty Anshi Rebellions (755-762), this route was viewed as a secondary alternative to the Silk Road, However in the latter half of the eighth century, owing to the scourge of wars in the vast Western Regions, trade volumes along the Maritime Silk Road boomed as those on its overland counterpart steadily declined.
Delicate Silk Technologic advances in shipbuilding and navigation led to the opening of new sea-lanes to the Southeast Asia, Malacca, areas in the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf. Guangzhou became the first great harbor in China around the time of the Tang and Song Dynasties, although it was later substituted by Quanzhou in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) as the most important trade port.
The Naval Expedition to the West by Zheng He in the early part of the Ming Dynasty demonstrated the great importance of the Silk Road and was to represent the peak of its popularity. The governments of the Ming and Qing Dynasties issued a ban on maritime trade, contributing to massive decline in its use. As the Opium War broke out in 1840, the Silk Road on the Sea totally disappeared.
For news about the latest developments about the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, the Xinhua Silk Road website ( en.imsilkroad.com ) can easily be relied on, includes 21st Century Maritime Silk Road background, countries, routes, China’s Arctic Policy, and the integrated information services for the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The Belt and Road Initiative portal is available in multiple languages, namely English, Thai, Italian and Chinese, for the benefit of a wider audience. It is sponsored by the China Economic Information Service (CEIS).


Currently, our library doesn't have a table where our patients can sit. This table would give our patients the space to do art, to work without teachers, to set up their personal computers, to look at a stack of books, for story time, or for numerous other purposes that take a flat surface and a place to sit in the library.
In addition, this will provide our patients in wheel chairs space and a surface to work and play.
The library already has four chairs, so the table is all that is needed. It is a rolling/mobile table, so it can be used anywhere as needed. It can also be folded and stored out of the way when not in use.


Stephen Gent has written the following piece:
The demise of Ruddigore – at the end of 1887 – and the rise of the Yeomen of the Guard – performed at the Savoy Theatre for its first night in October 1888.
In early November 1887, Ruddigore was withdrawn after a very rocky run of only 288 performances, compared with the previous collaboration of The Mikado, which ran for 672 performances. During Ruddigore’s first night, the gallery booed it, and at the end someone shouted ‘Give us back The Mikado – take this rubbish away’. By Gilbert and Sullivan’s standards, it was a complete failure.
Alfred Cellier, who conducted the first G&S operas, was also a composer in his own right, and composed several comic operas, one of which was Dorothy, which actually ran for longer than The Mikado. The success of Dorothy plunged Sir Arthur Sullivan into the depths of despair; he felt that if Cellier’s piece was what the public wanted, then there was no future in the Savoy Operas, whose scores had caused him so much blood, sweat and tears. He wrote to Gilbert in a defeatist mood, saying he had lost heart in their partnership.
His letter made Gilbert angry, particularly as he was already working on their new piece. He wrote back to Sullivan, saying: ‘why in the world we are throwing in the sponge now, just because of Dorothy is beyhond me. We have the best theatre, the best company, the best composer, and (even if I say myself) the best librettist in England, and to scatter this would be to give up on a gold mine. What is Dorothy to us? Do other companies fold because Mikado ran for over 650 performances?’
Gilbert’s letter had the desired effect’ Sullivan came to his senses. His thoughts turned to Gilbert’s words, and his diary entry at that time read – ‘Read Gilbert’s new plot (The Tower of London). Immensely pleased with it, pretty story, no topsy-turvydom, very human and funny also.’ Gilbert’s idea for the plot was formed when he saw a poster of a Beefeater on Uxbridge railway station platform, and turned his thoughts towards a serious romantic tale. Of course some topsy-turvydom did creep in as it developed, in the characters of Jack Point and Shadbolt, but the usual inversions were absent.
Gilbert was indebted to Wallace’s Maritana, while, probably unconsciously, he borrowed themes from The Mikado and Bab Ballads provided other details. Remembering the fuss about Ruddigore (originally Ruddygore), Sullivan successfully objected to The Beefeaters as the title. Although Gilbert was a disciplined playwright, working regular hours (sometimes well into the night), Sullivan found it impossible to work to a discipline. He first decided what rhythm he wanted for a number, then sketched it into his musical shorthand, and wrote the vocal parts afterwards. The new G&S opera was to become The Yeomen of the Guard. Sullivan delivered his score late (as usual) because of his commitments to conduct orchestras at several music festivals, and his busy social life. He had the feeling that this dramatic story, set in the Tower of London, would be their masterpiece, and Gilbert agreed with him.
From the moment when, after an overture in strict symphonic form, the curtain rose at the Savoy Theatre on October 3rd 1888, on Jessie Bond as Pheobe Meryll, instead of the usual chorus, it was clear the The Yeomen of the Guard was a new departure for Gilbert and Sullivan. Pheobe sits alone on stage, at her spinning wheel, singing the melancholy ‘When maiden loves’; Gilbert was a bundle of nerves, and kept asking Jessie if she was alright, and she eventually told him to leave her alone or she wouldn’t be able to sing her song.
The succession of serious numbers at the beginning of Act 1 involved some strain for both actors and audience; but the ‘heighdy’ duet between Jack Point and Elsie Maynard, settled the fate of the opera; its success was tremendous, and three times encored. By the time the final curtain went down, the audience had forgotten its early hesitations and decided to accept Yeomen. The first production ran for 423 performances. The Yeomen of the Guard received some outstanding notices – ‘Sir Arthur Sullivan has never written anything more delicately melodious and elegant. Mr Gilbert is a man of genius, and even at his worst, is head and shoulders above the ordinary librettist. Sullivan’s music follows the book to a higher plane, and we have the genuine English opera, forerunner of many others, let us hope.’

“A Mobile Library for Artists
ARCHITIZER JUL 09, 2012
Books are difficult objects. They are heavy, awkward, difficult to move, easily damaged (by light, water, the human touch), and yet easy to steal. All of these make the task of distributing and sharing books more difficult, but the challenges grow exponentially when there is no building to facilitate this.
One solution is the A47 Mobile Library, designed by PRODUCTORA, a Mexican architecture firm, and operated by Fundación Alumnos47, an organization dedicated to encouraging learning and reflection centered on the arts and contemporary visual culture in Mexico City. As seen on domus, “The Mobile Library” carries over 1,200 books and other bits of printed matter by or about contemporary artists around the Mexican capital’s neighborhoods in a specially designed truck.
Bookshelves have been replaced by overhead trays, freeing the floor of the Mobile Library for reading and social events. The floor is composed of panels that can be arranged in varying configurations, allowing stepped seating for lectures, raised platforms for reaching the books, or completely open space for large groups. The walls of the truck are built out of steel mesh doors, allowing some visual porosity when closed, and creating a strong link with the city around the Library when open.”
Via: The Atlantic Cities
The libraries are part of architect John Locke’s urban intervention project call the Department of Urban Betterment (thus, DUB). The first mini-library was installed on a phone booth eight blocks further north in a rather desolate area that has little foot traffic. The books disappeared within six hours and the plywood shelf within just ten days. In order to counter this, Locke chose a much more conspicuous location near an express train stop on Broadway and put a visible logo on the bottom of each book’s spine. The shelf itself is completely detachable.

Anna Baltzer Wings of Peace
The next shawl, which I'm designing now, will be called the Anna Baltzer Wings of Peace Shawl. It's going to look like the outstretched wings of a... hmmm... dove? angel? condor? firebird? I guess you can decide.
The Eagle and Condor Prophecy
as told by John Perkins, author Confessions of an Economic Hitman
Nearly every culture I know prophesies that in the late 1990's we entered a period of remarkable transition. At monasteries in the Himalayas, ceremonial sites in Indonesia, and indigenous reservations in North America, from the depths of the Amazon to the peaks of the Andes, and into the ancient Mayan cities of Central America, I have heard that ours is a special moment in human history, and that each of us was born at this time because we have a mission to accomplish.
The titles and the words of the prophecies differ slightly. They tell variously of a New Age, the Third Millennium, the Age of Aquarius, the Beginning of the Fifth Sun, or the end of old calendars and the commencement of new ones. Despite the varying terminologies, however, they have a great deal in common, and “The Prophecy of the Condor and Eagle” is typical. It states that back in the mists of history, human societies divided and took different paths: that of the condor (representing the heart, intuitive and mystical) and that of the eagle (representing the brain, rational and material). In the 1490's, the prophecy said, the two paths would converge and the eagle would drive the condor to the verge of extinction. Then, five hundred years later, in the 1990's a new epoch would begin, one in which the condor and the eagle will have the opportunity to reunite and fly together in the same sky, along the same path. If the condor and eagle accept this opportunity, they will create a most remarkable offspring, unlike any seen before.
“The Prophecy of the Condor and Eagle” can be taken at many levels — the standard interpretation is that it foretells the sharing of indigenous knowledge with the technologies of science, the balancing of yin and yang, and the bridging of northern and southern cultures. However, most powerful is the message it offers about consciousness; it says the we have entered a time when we can benefit from the many diverse ways of seeing ourselves and the world, and that we can use these as a springboard to higher levels of awareness. As human beings we can truly wake up and evolve into a more conscious species.

Wouldn’t it be nice if no one needed this book? A book about grief, pain and loss. But we do need it. Death, grief and loss touch all of us, at some point in life, just as they touch those we care the most about.
This book is an invitation to sit together and let some of that pain out. Hear from others who have experienced stillbirth, miscarriage, the loss of a friend due to suicide, the loss of a spouse, a mother, a child, a sibling, a father, a friend, a grandparent. Each loss touches in a different way.
Permission to Mourn is a safe space to sit, to process, to begin to heal because facing loss can be devastating, but maybe some of the burden of deep sorrow can be lifted if we sit together as we mourn.


Several years ago I heard author Tom Wessels speak about his (then) new book Reading the Forested Landscape. Anyone who has ever wandered across a landscape can't help but process the evidence at hand and try to decode the history of the place. RFL was focused on the forests of New England, but the ideas he outlined were universal to any terrain.
Imagine my delight when I saw the companion field guide at the library, Forest Forensics. In this volume Wessels provides a method - similar to a plant identification key - to help the reader understand the land use history by reading the assorted clues that are in view.
Again, there is a New England focus here, but the techniques are useful anywhere. If you get a chance, get a hold of one of these books. Reading the land can be just as compelling as any book.

PAINT ME A MONSTER [STARRED REVIEW!] Category: Fiction
Baskin’s first novel spans 13 years in the life of an artistic girl torn between perfection and loving herself as she is.
Three-year-old Margo renames herself Rinnie after Rin Tin Tin, “the smartest, fastest, strongest dog in the world.” Rinnie’s family appears to be the perfect wealthy nuclear family of the 1950s, complete with housekeeper and cook, but life in the Gardener home—particularly Rinnie’s—is far from idyllic. Her younger brother is coddled and her older sister held up as an example, while Rinnie, the “monster,” struggles for their mother’s love and approval. After her parents divorce, her brother moves in with Dad, leaving Rinnie and her sister to stay behind to endure Mom’s abuse, often aimed at Rinnie. As Rinnie loses control, she restricts her food intake and keeps track of every bite, convincingly chronicled in her obsessive, present-tense narration. If she can be perfect, she’ll reclaim her parents’ love. The school counselor encourages 16-year-old Rinnie to trust herself to save herself, and with his help, Rinnie paints the monsters of her past to begin the journey toward a future of hope, trust and freedom. Rinnie’s voice is honest and unflinching, gradually maturing from a 3-year-old’s singsong to that of a well-spoken, intelligent teenager.
Readers will fall in love with Rinnie; Baskin has crafted a beautiful story about the complexities of family, self-respect and human connection. (Historical fiction. 14 & up)
Roger Rueff Author of "DIscovering the Soul of Your Story" , "Hospitality Suite", "The Big Kahuna"
“Paint Me a Monster” shows the deft hand and light touch of an artist working with words instead of materials to portray the emotional journey of a Midwestern girl dodging the detritus of a seemingly idyllic home life as its artifice is stripped away by forces beyond her control.
When we first meet the girl, Rinnie (a self-adopted nickname taken from the TV animal hero Rin Tin Tin), we view her world through the lens of innocent first-person naiveté common to very young children who take what they see at face value and give nearly everyone the benefit of the doubt. But behind that lens we sense an uncomfortable instability in that world that could easily result in its collapse. And the threat that the collapse represents to Rinnie’s innocence and emotional health creates a soft sense of foreboding.
As Rinnie grows up into her teenage years, the collapse does occur, sometimes slowly and at other times in rapid and devastating bursts. And the book chronicles not only its objective events but their effects on Rinnie and the challenges she must face to gain and maintain an inner strength and emotional stability.
The first part of the book, when Rinnie is very young, has a bit of a staccato feel -- owing largely to the author's attempt to reflect accurately Rinnie's capacity for expression at that “Dick and Jane” stage of her life -- and can be a little difficult to engage. But as Rinnie ages in the story, the text grows in fluidity and complexity and becomes wonderfully immersive. And because the story is told by means of short scenes, like a collection of meaningful photographs and mementos, the text develops a comfortable momentum that renders the book a very self-propelled read.
In the end, we are left with a character whose journey of growth has been easy to understand and sympathize with and whose final state lies neither in the realm of victory nor defeat but in some distant place where both may be viewed in the peace of resolution and hope.
