Knight Errant
"While evil flourishes and wrongs grow rank, while men are persecuted and women wronged, while weak things, human or animal, are maltreated, there is no rest for me beneath the skies, nor peace at any board or bed. Farewell!"The medieval Knight Errant stems from the Chivalric Romance, where individual Knights In Shining Armor would wander the land, searching for evil to slay and ladies to rescue, guided by the Damsel Errant. Since then, knights have declined in popularity, but the Knight Errant is still around in full force — instead of knights, they are now often samurai, cowboys, or Samurai Cowboys. Historically a knight errant would refer to a landless knight who would travel with his lord in service and hope of earning his own land. If he is traveling because he was sent by someone it might be a case of My Master, Right or Wrong. They are basically the feudal equivalent of The Stateless. Knights Errant have some or all of the following traits:
— Solomon Kane, The Blue Flame of Vengeance
- They, by definition, have Chronic Hero Syndrome. They may or may not request compensation, but will always try to do the right thing.
- They have no fixed home, and spend their lives Walking the Earth (Errant means "wandering"). When they're finished smiting the local evil, they'll up and leave.
- They have a code of honor. If they are heroes, they can be a Knight in Sour Armor, but will always have some degree of idealism inside. On the rare occasion they're a villain, they're usually a Noble Demon or He Who Fights Monsters.
- They seek out wrongs to right, generally on a small scale — a town beset by bandits, a dragon preying on the locals, etc. Only occasionally will they be pitted against an Evil Overlord with earth-conquering ambitions. They often have one specific quest they are on, but you can count on them running into unrelated trouble along the way.
- They are loners. They do not have any True Companions and are not part of a Five-Man Band. They may travel with a squire or two, but not with peers; they leave allies behind when they leave town. Their love interests, if any, are left behind or bumped off by the bad guys.
- Sometimes, they are The Stoic, almost to the point of being less a character and more a physical incarnation of justice. They are very prone to having a Mysterious Past. This type generally overlaps with The Drifter.
- The classic Knight Errant of Chivalric Romance is often accompanied by his Distaff Counterpart and complement the Damsel Errant. He is seeking adventure and she knows where adventures are to be found.

Anime & Manga
- Ash Ketchum from Pokémon.
- In Mahou Sensei Negima!, this seems to be the job description of a Magister Magi.
- Kenshiro of Fist of the North Star is definitely one of these.
- As were Goku and his True Companions during the early parts of Dragon Ball.
- The entire premise of Golden Boy.
- Tenma in Monster, especially as he decides to join the MSF.
- Porco Rosso's lead character does this for a living in his crimson seaplane.
- Rurouni Kenshin: Kenshin did this for ten years prior to the series, which starts with him temporarily suspending his Walking the Earth to stay in a dojo in Tokyo. His variation is that unless he's actively kicking butt, his looks, natural personality, and Obfuscating Stupidity work together to make sure nobody takes him seriously.
- Trigun: Vash the Stampede does this, too, with his Obfuscating Stupidity turned Up to Eleven. He's a little less formal about it than Kenshin, because he hasn't got a vow, this is just his lifestyle, and he only learned to fight out of necessity, so he doesn't have quite the same type of warrior ethos as a proper knight or samurai.
- Jin of Samurai Champloo, prior to the series. After objecting to his master's choices, he was forced to kill him in self-defense and flee. Rejecting bushido as a code that binds people to mindlessly follow villains and idiots, he wanders around Japan searching for a purpose until Fuu makes him her bodyguard.
- The Elric brothers seem like this at the beginning of Fullmetal Alchemist, before the wider-reaching plot arcs start up—they travel from place to place, righting wrongs and searching for leads on how to get their bodies back. Especially true in the 2003 anime version, which had a few extra filler episodes near the beginning that consisted almost entirely of the Elrics going somewhere, righting some wrong, and going along their merry way, with the episode tying in minimally or not at all to the long-term plot.
- Parn from Record of Lodoss War. He is known as the Free Knight because he officially holds loyalty to no kingdom and helps anyone in need, no matter their allegiance or nationality.
- Digimon: Gankoomon of the Royal Knights, according to supplemental materials, wanders the Digital World putting a stop to anything unusual, in-between mentoring the younger Hackmon. This makes it different from every other Royal Knight, who only ever show up when the Digital World's experiencing disaster, and as a result Gankoomon has a lot of friends all over. Gankoomon is working hard to pass on his title of knight to Hackman, for whatever reason.
Comic Books
- Miyamoto Usagi from Usagi Yojimbo.
- The titular character of Lucky Luke embodies this, to the point where the last panel of every album is him riding off into the sunset, singing I'm a lonesome cowboy.
- Dark Horse and Star Wars are coming out with a comic book series called Knight Errant. What's known is that it will have a lone Jedi Knight during the dark time before the final battle of Ruusan, where the Sith outnumber the Jedi, and the Republic has been whittled down to just the areas around the core. The lone Jedi will be going around to planets in the Sith zone and fighting the good fight.
- DCU's The Warlord seems to be based on this trope. Travis Morgan, a.k.a. "The Warlord", was a USAF lieutenant colonel who crash-landed in Skartaris, a world inside the hollow Earth. A modern man injected into a world of sword & sorcery, he falls in love with and marries Tara, the warrior-queen of Shambhala. The character avoids a bad cliché by not becoming Skartaris leader and attempting to impose his values on it, but neither can he sit idly by at the royal court whilst knowing how much is 'wrong' in the rest of the world. As a result, he is constantly absent- journeying around Skartaris as a knight errant, enjoying the role of an adventurer far more than that of a king.
- Invoked by Gilbert in The Sandman, who insists upon being Rose Walker's "Knight Errant" in her search for her brother.
- The Ghost Rider has shades of this, depending on which verison of him you're dealing with, as well as who's writing the books at the time.
- Seven Samurai are organized by a Knight Errant, and have a very Knight Errant-y M.O. despite their team size.
- The Magnificent Seven is a Western adaptation of The Seven Samurai.
- The Jedi from Star Wars often act as Knights Errant. A New Hope itself was adapted from The Hidden Fortress, a samurai movie. By the book Obi-Wan is a good specific example because he is an ideal Jedi Knight.
- Shane may be the Ur-Example of cowboys as Knights Errant.
- Every Spaghetti Western.
- The Man With No Name from the Dollars Trilogy.
- Harmonica from Once Upon a Time in the West.
- Sukiyaki Western Django
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
- The Forbidden Kingdom
- The Book of Eli
- William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet has Romeo symbolically dressing up as a knight errant at the Capulet's party as he calls himself a pilgrim who has traveled to the shrine of Juliet.
- The Knights of the Round Table were a squadron of Knights Errant. Even though they were a team, they typically adventured alone. The Trope Namer is Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, in which Gawain is referred to as a "knygt erraunt".
- Don Quixote is a deconstruction of, among other things, Knights Errant.
- Wuxia novels, films, plays, etc. are full of such figures, and the term even translates to something like "wandering knight." This derives from Chinese knighthood, which isn't a widely-known subject in the West.
- The protagonist of Knight and Rogue Series is a knight errant who lives about 200 years after errantry has gone out of fashion. His squire is a former con man who at first comes along mostly because it keeps him out of jail, and later to look after his employer, who's prone to Honor Before Reason.
- Loyal Enemies has an entire group of those, who decided to band together to be more effective. They are now called the Order of White Raven and their life mission is to defend people, whatever race they might belong to.
- The Dark Tower: Roland Deschain is a Gunslinger from another dimension who is descended from Arthur Eld and wields guns that were forged from Excalibur. He's on an epic quest to reach the Dark Tower and fight the forces of evil. The story is very loosely based on the poem "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came," which is itself based on The Song of Roland.
- Colonel Next from Thursday Next is consistently described as a "time-travelling Knight Errant", usually turning up in the nick of time to save the world.
- Malik ibn Ibrahim from the ebook anthology Wandering Djinn seems to fall into this category constantly.
- The Knights of the Cross in The Dresden Files fit this archetype; even Michael, who has a home, a wife, and a small army of children spends much of his time traveling the globe, righting wrongs and fighting evil. Their main job, as it turns out, is somewhat different - they're actually supposed to get the Denarians' hosts to repent and give up the Denarians. The doing random good seems to only be their secondary function.
- The Prophecy of the Stones seems to have a whole class of Knight Errants. Not all of them are admirable, however.
- Alana from the Tortall Universe starts out in The Woman Who Rides Like a Man to escape court and find adventure.
- Vorkosigan Saga: Miles Vorkosigan has been diagnosed as having Knight Errant tendencies - by his mother.
- Simon Templar, more commonly known as The Saint, is this in many of creator Leslie Charteris's stories (one story collection was even titled Saint Errant) and in some episodes of the TV series that starred Roger Moore. Not so much in the Val Kilmer movie.
- Keith Laumer's Bolo series has the titular Bolo's, self-aware ultratanks with enough firepower to wipe a planet clean of life. They are openly stated as being Knight Errants, and in many cases are more "Human," than those they protect. Many Bolo stories involve a Bolo sacrificing itself to save the lives of innocents, or about them trying to understand their human companions.
- One story ends with the Bolo literally getting knighted.
- A very tiny knight errant is the subject of a poem by Tolkien, aptly titled "Errantry." The poem includes descriptions of his marvellously shiny armour, his attempts to woo and marry a butterfly, and his epic battles with dragonflies and bumblebees. Also, perhaps coincidentally, you can sing it to the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan's "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General".
- "Saint George and the Dragon" by Margaret Hodges, an adaptation of a part of The Faerie Queene, begins with the Red Cross Knight riding across a plain, bound on a great adventure, sent by the Queen of the Fairies to fight the dragon.
- A rare anti-heroic version appears in the form of Richard Sharpe. Lampshaded by Major Hogan in Sharpe's Havoc:
- Hogan: King Arthur, God rest his soul, would have loved you. He'd have had you rescuing every maiden in the land.
- Given Sharpe's fairly strong Chivalrous Pervert tendencies, there's usually something in it for him...
- John Shannow, the eponymous Jerusalem Man in David Gemmell's series of that name, starts by wandering a post-Apocalyptic Earth in a vague search for Jerusalem, but is repeatedly distracted by evil.
- The first novel in the MechWarrior: Dark Age series centers around a Knight Errant, essentially a Mech Warrior who had the job of traveling to trouble spots around the galaxy and basically lying low to gather information and take action in case something came up.
- Of course, this wasn't clear for the first several chapters, where he seemed to be a blue-collar type with a Mysterious Past who gets caught up with a political extremist group. The Reveal that he's a knight happens around the same time that the female mechwarrior who just arrested him and took him aboard her ship for questioning plants a kiss on him, putting everything that occured before that in a new light.
- Solomon Kane.
- In Patricia A. McKillip's "The Kelpie", Nice Guy Ned is suggested for this in a painting; he wishes he could be evil for once, and is asked if he can settle for triumphant.
- The Justicar, hero of Paul Kidd's trilogy of Greyhawk novels White Plume Mountain, Descent Into The Depths Of The Earth, and Queen Of The Demonweb Pits is made of this trope. He does everything but travel alone. Much to his discomfort, he accumulates ever more companions through the series. He starts with just a sentient hellhound skin, and collects a faerie princess who is also an accomplished mage, a drunken human teamster (who later becomes a drunken badger), a female sphynx, a young male human soldier, a talking sword, and a non-evil demon (who just wants a nice clean, calm, safe place to settle down with her boyfriend).
- The main protagonist of The Dragon by E. Schwartz. He is also called Lancelot.
- A Song of Ice and Fire typically subverts or deconstructs the concept. Masterless knights are called hedge knights and are generally seen as one step above common mercenaries. And, then there are the knights that become rudderless thanks to losing their position or sponsors, even if they prefer not to think of themselves as hedge knights, but exiles between masters, rather.
- The Tales of Dunk and Egg Prequel series plays it straighter — yet, also deconstructs it and subverts it a little, too. Ser Duncan embodies the classic knight errant in quite a lot of ways. He's (relatively) young and quite idealistic, for all he's a Street Smart Fish out of Water, believing in the code of honor that knights are supposed to follow and indeed believes that "The Hedge Knight", the wanderer who sleeps in meadows and beneath trees is closer to "true knight" than the political, class-concious, power-playing types he witnesses. Except... he isn't really a knight, at all: he's very conspicuously uncomfortable talking about how he became one. After the first story, the pattern is established that he'll wander into a new area, encounter a problem, help solve it (though not in the way he originally intended) and then move on. Except... as you find out in the main series... Some of those "solved" problems weren't as solved as they appeared, coming back to bite him and Egg later on in Aegon's reign when both were more established parts of society — and, the later reigns. The Blackwood-Bracken issue, for example: successfully solved in the short-term, on paper. Long-term: a different set of problems arose from said solution making it so they couldn't overtly act against each other (didn't stop them covertly trying, though). When 80+ years of pent-up frustration finally do explode in an unstable environment, it's likely going to be a Very Big Problem.
- Aragorn in his backstory, and also in The Fellowship of the Ring where he pledges to get the hobbits to Rivendell.
I am Aragorn son of Arathorn; and if by life or death I can save you, I will.
- Star Wars Expanded Universe: as mentioned above under "Film", this is sometimes (ostensibly) the Jedi ideal, although they often act more or less as a branch of the Republic. In the New Jedi Order in particular, a few Jedi are known for avoiding the sometimes highly political Jedi Order and making their own way, such as Master Eelysa (and the Wild Knights, a band of Jedi she trained more or less on her own), Tyria Sarkin and her children, and, for a time, Corran Horn. Jolee Bindo from Knights of the Old Republic did much the same thousands of years before. In the earlier period, "Gray Jedi" were those who voluntarily separated from the Order, often over philosophical issues, yet were acknowledged not to have fallen to the Dark Side.
- In the popular medieval legend of St. George and the Dragon, St. George liberates a town and saves a princess by killing a fearsome dragon. There is no explanation on what business brought St. George to the town, making St. George the Trope Maker of a travelling knight that helps out people he meets by accident along the road.
Live Action TV
- The A-Team, similarly: the knight-errant needs to be solitary.
- Angel: Parodied when Wesley attempts to be this when first introduced.
- In Doctor Who, the Doctor often fits this trope, even if he's not actively seeking wrongs to right, he seldom hesitates to get involved when he runs into one. He's had many companions, but they act more like "squires" than true partners and none of them stay with him forever. His sixth incarnation outright calls himself a Knight Errant at least once.
- Dr. Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap is a time-traveling Knight Errant who "strives to put right what once went wrong" one life at a time.
- Paladin, the protagonist of Have Gun Will Travel.
- In The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., Brisco and Lord Bowler fit this perfectly. Bounty hunters travelling the West looking for bad guys, and usually finding them.
- Both Gwaine and Lancelot at times in BBC's Merlin.
- Sam and Dean in Supernatural fit this trope, especially the former. While they have some other overarching goals each season - finding their father in Season One, trying to negate Dean's contract in Season Three, averting the Apocalypse in Season Five, fighting the Leviathans in Season Seven - they always stop by in whatever wayward towns are being haunted even if they don't have personal reasons to, and deal with the supernatural threats there. Although they ARE involved in criminal activity - false credit cards, fake IDs - this is done for sustenance and to further their goals each time, as they don't get paid for their work. Other Hunters probably count as well - particularly John Winchester before his death, Bobby Singer, and Ellen & Jo Harvelle as of the Season Two finale.
- Seems like pretty much everyone in their line of work that doesn't stay in one fixed location (i.e. most of them, as hunters tend to leave messes behind, and there are only so many monsters in one location) have to engage in some level of criminal activity. Frequent ones are grave desecration and breaking and entering, but on the Headscratchers page for the series, it's been mentioned that the boys probably at least loot the corpses of those killed by the monsters they hunt. Gas isn't cheap.
- The Master, a show about an aging ninja master and his apprentice, traveling in a van and righting wrongs.
- Caine from Kung Fu.
- Hercules: The Legendary Journeys
- The Electric Light Orchestra song "Wild West Hero" is very much an ode to The Western version of this hero.
Tabletop Games
- RPG adventuring parties aren't normally an example of this; a key part of this trope is that the knight is solitary. "Solo" campaigns, with a single player and a DM, are not uncommon however.
- Bretonnia, one of the factions in Warhammer Fantasy Battles, has a unit type called Knights Errant, representing the young, impetuous knights whose courage sometimes outpaces their skill. Their special rules reflect these details. A better example of this trope, Questing Knights, are knights who have given up their feudal responsibilities to quest for the Grail and the Lady of the Lake; their oaths command them never to stay in one place for too long, and they keep righting wrongs until they die or drink from the Grail.
- In Warhammer 40,000, the Legion of the Damned fit this trope to a T. Trapped in hyperspace for about a hundred years and cursed with some Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane warp disease/curse, the last one hundred survivors wander the galaxy searching for other marines, coming to their aid in their hour of need, vanishing as mysteriously and silently as they came, never straying from their dedication to the Emperor even as their bodies and minds slowly break down.
- "The Knights Errant" is also the official name for the 8 founding members of the Grey Knights.
- Magic: The Gathering has Gideon Jura. Elspeth Tirel as well, who actually bears the title of Knight-Errant. Elspeth's defining trait is that she doesn't want to planeswalk; she just wants to find paradise and stay there.
- Of course, this is Magic. Her first home was destroyed by Phyrexia, and her adopted home of Bant became culturally contaminated when the shards of Alara merged. Now she's trying to take the fight to Phyrexia, and the outlook is very bad.
- And then of course there is the vanilla card from even further back, Knight Errant.
- Knight Errant is one of the possible careers in Ironclaw, though not all of the traits are necessary, many are essentially mercenaries of noble birth.
Video Games
- Many open-world RPGs are basically built around being a Knight Errant. The player is given a Wide Open Sandbox populated by people who need help, and they wander around finding those people and solving their problems.
- Samara, an asari party member in Mass Effect 2 is a Justicar, a sort of vigilante warrior monk. According to her "the closest human equivalent would be a knight errant, with perhaps a bit of samurai".
- Paragon Shepard can spend most of their time travelling the galaxy and selflessly going out of the way to put right any wrong they encounter.
- Sanger Zonvolt from the Super Robot Wars series, the Sword That Smites Evil who will show up whenever evil arises. And will do anything to protect his girl, namely Sophia Nate.
- Erwin's, the hero of DerLangrisser personal theme is the titular Knight Errant, traveling through El Sallia in his quest (which depends on which story path he is following).
- In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, after performing a service for the city of Leyawiin, you and a jovial NPC receive this title.
- The Warden from Dragon Age, who goes where they must and where they are most needed.
- The Witch Hunt DLC for Dragon Age: Origins can end with the Warden (the Knight Errant) and Morrigan (the Damsel Errant) stepping through the Eluvian, beyond the Fade and into the unknown.
- Hawke in Dragon Age II, part of the reason why they came to be Champion of Kirkwall.
- Warden Blackwall in Dragon Age: Inquisition. He has spent years wandering Thedas protecting the innocent, "conscripting" villagers to train them to fight bandits, and of course fighting random darkspawn. He's actually a wanted criminal impersonating the deceased Blackwall throwing himself into the Grey Wardens' ideal of heroism to atone for his past.
- Samus is often seen as one.
- Adol Christin of Ys decided when he was a kid that he'd travel the world, righting wrongs and nailing chicks. Well, the second part's mostly inferred.
- Kingdom Hearts gave us Sora, who constantly travels from world to world, never stopping or staying very long, righting whatever wrongs he happens to come across along the way, from finding lost dogs to toppling local tyrants. He might have a few too many friends to count as a truly classical example, but 90% of them are the "leave them behind when you leave town" variety. By Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, it's earned him an official knighting by then-Princess Minnie.
- In Final Fantasy XIV, Solkzagyl used to be a member of the order in Ul'dah, a group of Paladins dedicated to the Sultana. He broke away from the order to wander throughout Eorzea and help people in need.
- In Roza sparrow knights
- Nwain in Nwain: The Knight Who Wandered Dream. She rides her trusty wolf-antelope into Darmok and solves the town's monster problem. She leaves town and moves on to defeat a giant owl by blinding it with her pants.
Web Original
- Amnesty, the Anthropomorphic Personification of mercy and compassion in the Global Guardians PBEM Universe, acts like this. She shows up at a place where human beings are suffering, stops the suffering, and then moves on to the next place of suffering.
- From The Worldbuild Project: Travelling about and righting wrongs? Sounds like a classic scenario for a Rohomajeshi Justicar.
Western Animation
- Samurai Jack is an homage to this trope, among many others.
- Finn and Jake, the heroes of Adventure Time, are a rather absurdist take on this trope. Although they do have a home base that they return to frequently, they are otherwise traveling warriors who beat up baddies and save innocent villagers. Finn even for the first few seasons treats Princess Bubblegum like his designated lady, as though he was a knight in a courtly romance.

Defense Leads Women To Rout Of Fellow ODAC-Leading Hornets
Four teams entered the day tied atop the ODAC women's basketball standings at 4-1, but at least one would fall on Saturday. Eastern Mennonite made sure it would not be them, as they topped fellow ODAC-leader Lynchburg 68-53 on the road. After a tight start to the game, the Royals blew open a big lead. The women used a 12-5 run to build up a 27-18 cushion. Then after a Hornet ...More

Growth of inorganic polyhedral nanocrystals with excellent morphology control presents significant synthetic challenges, especially when the development of synthetic schemes to make nanocrystals with systematic shape evolution is desired. Nanocrystals with fine size and shape control facilitate formation of their self-assembled packing structures and offer opportunities for examination of their facet-dependent physical and chemical properties. In this Feature Article, recent advances in the synthesis of nanocrystals with systematic shape evolution are highlighted. The reaction conditions used to achieve this morphology change offer insights into the growth mechanisms of nanocrystals. A novel class of polyhedral core–shell heterostructures fabricated using structurally well-defined nanocrystal cores is also presented. Facet-dependent photocatalytic activity, molecular adsorption, and catalytic and electrical properties of nanocrystals have been examined and are discussed. Nanomaterials with enhanced properties and functionality may be obtained through continuous efforts in the synthesis of nanocrystals with well-defined structures and investigation of their plane-selective properties.

I had a new rear wheel built for my bike on a Velocity Deep V rim. When I picked it up yesterday I noticed that they had used the track version without a machined braking surface-even though I ride a single speed/free wheel with front and rear brakes.
When I inquired I was told that both versions the machined and non-machined were both compatible with standard caliper type brakes, using this version wouldn't effect braking power and "it would just take longer for the powder coating to wear off on the non machined version". Is this accurate? I consider this a safety issue as this is essentially a commuter bike that I ride in heavy traffic in San Francisco and I need effective brakes!
Any feedback or information you could provide would be extremely helpfull! Thanks!

Wetherspoon Surges After Plan to Open More Pubs: London Mover
JD Wetherspoon Plc jumped the most in four years after the U.K. pub operator reported an operating margin that beat analyst estimates and announced a plan to open 30 more outlets in the next financial year.
"We view the year-to-date margin as a possible indicator for the future, if we were to achieve reasonable sales growth," Watford, England-based Wetherspoon said today. It also forecast a "slightly better" full-year outcome before exceptional items than it previously expected. The stock rose 12 percent, the biggest jump since March 2009, to 750 pence, giving the pub owner a market value of 945 million pounds ($1.45 billion).
The operating margin was 9.5 percent in the 11 weeks to 14 July, including one-time benefits, and 8.7 percent in the 50 weeks to 14 July, the company said. Trading benefitted from festivals and improved menus, and July's sunshine helped sales as fourth-quarter revenue in pubs open more than a year climbed 3.5 percent.
"Wetherspoon has reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter like-for-like revenue growth and margin," said James Hollins, an analyst at Investec Securities Ltd. in London. "The increased pub opening program derives from, we believe, greater confidence in future trading and a strong pipeline of new sites."
Hollins reiterated his buy recommendation on the stock and increased his price target to 750 pence from 660 pence.
Sales were "aided by the good weather," Greg Johnson, an analyst at Shore Capital, wrote in a note. "The key driver today though will be the operating margin, which was 9.5 percent in the quarter, a near 100 basis points better than expected."

Buy replacement tanks? You jest
Actually, I have some relatively new tanks that are like the old Patterson ones. I also have a lot of older tanks that were given to me. I am sure its not going to be that difficult to stop the leaks. (its only been recently that they have leaked more then usual).
My thread tape trick worked fine. Yes, I got a bit of leakage from the top cover during the stop and fix stage, but that was more residual fluid from the pour out then from agitation.

Queer I Stand
The Ekklesia Antinoou in Fifty Years
Two young people are in the room as well: the outgoing head of the Phratria of Polydeukion, who is about to turn twenty years old, and the incoming head of it, who is now fifteen. While they are a smaller group than the Mystai of Antinous, and always have been, they are perhaps even more dedicated than many of the Mystai of Antinous. They have that youthful energy and optimism and hope, and they want to be taken seriously by anyone since society-at-large still doesn't take young people seriously in anything, much less spirituality. Because the Mysteries of Polydeukion were revealed to young people exclusively back in the 2020s, they have been maintaining that organization since then, with some gentle guidance from the Ekklesía Antínoou, since that time, and very definitely since my own initiation into those Mysteries by the original Phratriarch (who is now in his mid-50s). I know the group is in good hands, because they are not my hands, and never have been.
And then, there are my allies. They're not just in the room here, but have been holding continuous vigil outside it for days. At the moment, the head of AMHA is in here, and I can hear the woman from Sharanya chanting Kali mantras outside the door, and many of the others are joining her. Two Come As You Are Coven members have been making me food for the last few days—a little less every day, as my appetite has been diminishing with each day's passing. (It's more food for everyone else to eat, and to be donated to the needy as well in our Temple's soup-and-salads kitchen that feeds the underprivileged of this area daily.) I barely finished one slice of the chocolate orange they brought me this morning on my breakfast plate, after it had been offered in yesterday's Temple rituals. This morning, one of the CAYA members, at my request, sang and danced a hymn to Artemis that made me smile and shed tears of joy a bit; I'll be missing the Natalis Dianae in August, and the Megala Antinoeia later this month, but I have not missed the chance to honor that great goddess one last time before I depart. The representatives from House Sankofa and the Thiasos of the Starry Bull have been standing by, but are mostly quiet at this point. The head of Neos Alexandria is outside, and I've already heard her planning the memorial volume to me that will be published by Bibliotheca Alexandrina in the next year.
I suspect the founder of Mup is outside inciting an orgy in another side-chapel with some of the Unnamed Path, Minoan Brotherhood, and Radical Faeries members who are present. I know people from at least three Afro-Diasporic faiths are outside, and the Kemetic Orthodox religion is also well represented. The PanDianics are certainly out there, too, and there are even a few feminist separatist Dianics out there that I've grown to respect and be friends with over the years, even though we don't remotely agree on almost anything. There are various Wiccans and Druids outside as well, polytheists of many descriptions, Gnostics, Thelemites, Fellowship of Isis priestesses and priests, and even a number of Christians and Sufis joining in the vigil taking place. My colleagues from a few Shinto Shrines in Japan and in the Cascadian Republics are also present, though they will be departing soon so as not to be tainted by my death—I fully understand this, and also appreciate the one Guji who is also a Buddhist who said he would not leave. And, my colleague from House Thyrsatrae is also standing by, holding the space as only they know how and protecting it, and is ready with the waters of Nyx to anoint my body as soon as I have stopped breathing. It won't be long now.
On the walls, I've asked the various icons of Antinous, Hadrian, Sabina, Polydeukion and the Trophimoi and Herodes Attikos' family, Lucius Marius Vitalis, Glykon, Chnoubis, the Tetrad++ Group, Bes, Hathor, Ptah, Nefertem, Sekhmet, Demeter, Persephone, Artemis, Sterculinus, Hermes, Lugus, Hanuman, Shiva Nataraja, Narasimha, Brigantia, Brigit the Poet, and Cú Chulainn (and a few others) to be interspersed with photographs of old friends on occasions I have remembered and been thankful about for decades. There's the photo of me and Margot Adler at the book launch for her fourth edition of Drawing Down the Moon in 2026; there's myself with Selena Fox of Circle Sanctuary in 2022 when I was at last able to attend a Pagan Spirit Gathering (since I was able to get someone with a camping trailer to accompany me!); there's Don Frew and me at the World Parliament of Religions in 2033 in Rio de Janeiro (and I'm sunburned like you wouldn't believe after having been at a beach in the country where thongs were invented!); there's me and the Gujis of the two Tsubaki Grand Shrines in Japan and North America when I went to Japan in 2030; there's me and the (at-the-time) new Dalai Lama in 2040; there's me and Rabbi Blikstein near the Wailing Wall when I visited Israel in 2045; and there's me and Pope Emeritus Hadrian VIII in 2050, not long after he resigned his papacy and Pope Francis IV was installed. There's also a photo of me and three former United States presidents—back when there still was a United States!—in 2029: Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. I was surprised when I got the invitation to be at the Prayer Breakfast that year, and I remember very well how many people protested my presence, but nonetheless, the food and the conversation were quite memorable.

It looks fantastic from what I read of it. I replied to your post about wanting to make another guide for this game (back on Satoshi's guide), so you may have read my previous rant there.
It looks incredibly clean and informative, which is VERY necessary for this game. To any future readers I would HIGHLY suggest a supplementary walkthrough (like Krystal's) but also BE AWARE that there's a lot of speculative information about how to get things done. The game is almost 100% time management, and you may find yourself wasting a good chunk of your time running around doing unnecessary things, which may give you problems getting events triggered.
I found this platinum to be a huge headache, full of trial and error. Hopefully Bread's direction will give you a more enjoyable experience.
There are a few things that I noticed that are slightly inaccurate or it might help to clarify them a bit further (or just simply to share my experience with it). Would you like me to list them in a private message to you or should I just post them here? The post would be decently long though, I don't want to spam it up if you'd rather just fix it without the lengthy public display.
Oh, I was throwing together a Monster List if you wish to use it. Your guide seems good enough to scrap mine that I was writing, so I have zero use for it. I wrote down info about the stronger/special bounty monsters, including the name of the sub-area you find them in, as well as directions to get there.
I also have an Item List meant for reference. I didn't feel like putting too much information in it since you can find it all in game, but it can certainly be used as a checklist. So just let me know, on a post here or a message would do just fine as well.

I lied about being able to finish this guide by last week; this game requires so much detail, that its been quite hard to put into words!
Feel free to point out any mistakes in the guide by posting them here. I'm still working on the guide, so I'm still correcting them as I go. I actually have printable checklists for the two encyclopedia trophies; I'll see if I can format them properly and upload them tomorrow.
Glad to see someone's paying attention to the guide and I'm not just talking to myself

Checklists look great, I wish I had them while I was still playing lol
So a few things that I noticed in your guide and just some of my own experience with some events:
1) Your Pie Ending (under the trophy graphic) states you do *not* want to trigger any character's flag, but then later on in the guide, you give it a personal subsection, where it states to make the item for Lionela/Tantris, which does trigger their flag. That's contradicting lol and Krystal does seem to have it right; you need to flag a character's end that is NOT involved on your current pathway. If you want how I got it: I triggered Iksel's flag and was on the True End path, since I had over 94 stars and 80 trust. I got the ending on that, since Iksel's end is on the Good End path. I had a total of 3 attempts on this ending. The second, I went on True End and triggered no character flags, and I got the True End. So I know for a fact you need to trigger someone's.
2) Iksel's "cooking contest" event may not be necessary for his end, or a part of his flag. I've only managed to get that event to happen once, on my very first playthrough. My subsequent ones, when I was going for his end/Astrid's, I never triggered it. I believe you simply need to trigger the "special item" event in each area, and then see the scenes afterwards (after 3, 6, and 9 items). Got me wondering though, maybe the contest is a 1 time deal? Like, if you get it your first playthrough, save the clear data and go NG+, you may never get it again. Might be a moot point if you've managed 1 data file though, without a NG+.
3) I read that you stated you want to start working on "NPC Friendship 100" as soon as you can, just trying to get as many jobs done in the first part of the game as you can. You should put a little forewarning about this and Tiffani; I was going crazy my first playthrough trying to get her friendship up. She likes to ask for Eicholea (the mushroom) at the beginning, but so does Cordelia. It's my personal opinion that Cory should take priority. Sometimes during the second year on, Tiffani likes to ask for high quality Honey, which sometimes you have zero access to (from a lack of good quality Beehives) and Honey ends up being used in a lot of important recipes as well as being requested from Gio and Iksel (and they ask for lower quality).
So my advice: save Tiffani for Year 3, don't worry about her otherwise. You can still check however, and I WOULD suggest doing her "Normal Pan" request for easy money. She asks for 50 quality, and if you just jump to the weapon shop, buy the ingot, and then make it, it costs you ~350, and she gives you back ~750 for its completion. On a side note, she also does not require any friendship for Wholesale, so you don't have to worry about that.
4) Somewhat marginal mention about Cordelia's front quests: my first time getting her flag, it was irritating me a bit. Probably should keep the reader aware that after 3 of her front quests, there will be NONE until the third year, so don't bother looking for them. Also be aware that if you're looking for the first 3, they'll only open up once the areas with the items become available to you (i.e. Iron Clay is in National Mines). Finally, for *my* first time, she refused to offer anything on the third year until Night's Domain opened up (4th month) and then requested the two Shadow Roses. After I completed only that one, I got her final event. My second time for Astrid's, she offered one at the beginning of year 3, which I completed, but did not get the event. I did get it after the fifth one however.
Summary of that: the Shadow Rose Cory request may be the "final" one of hers. So just don't freak out if you don't get others after your third, be freaked out if she doesn't offer one when Night's Domain opens (assuming you haven't triggered the final event already).
5) You should note that the "Helmet" in the Item List is part of Hagel's friendship event, which requires at least 80 friendship (I think). Although not necessary for any ending, and you'll more than likely see it when going for "NPC Friendship 100" I think it would still be good to mention it since it's not something you normally see. I do not believe the crafted item he requests, that requires the Helmet to make, is part of the Item List; I believe it is a "key item" which I do not think is part of the trophy. If you do decide to make the item requested, be warned that Hagel will close his shop for about a week (although I found the events following the synthesis amusing).
6) It might be worth mentioning that only one Dragon will appear if you have not triggered Sterk's final events (or more specifically, Suni Sterm unlocking). The only Dragon that will be up will be the one in Night's Domain, the one guarding the path to the Demon boss. The others will only be around in their respective areas if Suni Sterm is available to you, I know that for a fact.

Oh, shoot I forgot. I figured I should also mention Meteors. I thought they were absolutely invaluable, and made my playthrough such a cakewalk. I honestly have no idea how Tera Bombs work; I was under the impression that they work fantastically against bosses, but I never made any, I relied exclusively on Meteors.
Do Tera Bombs hit everything? That is an actual question, no sarcasm lol I know Meteors do, and they hit for a truckload on normal monsters even with somewhat low quality effects (1 big star). Not only that but they're actually pretty easy to come by pretty early (again I have no idea when Tera Bombs become available) which may facilitate leveling.
I think the recipe itself is available early year 2 (from I think Hagel), but you can't actually make any until at least Ster Highlands opens, or at least that's the earliest you can make it (which will be either 5/15 or 6/15 during a Cole visit). If Hom is about level 25+ it should be able to harvest Star Pieces (any quality will do), so you can make one. If she is about that level, she should also bring back some Metal Ore, which turns into Silvatite. If you make a Silvatite bar and use it as the Ingot in the Meteor, the attack effect is more or less max'd (3 big stars), which is the effect "Falling ???" this does anywhere from ~400-800 damage, but it also has another minor attack effect for it's second part, doing anywhere from ~100-200. So total damage is anywhere from ~500-1200 damage, usually the lower end is how much it hits for on bosses.
Best part about it, it has 4 uses per item, I dunno if Tera Bomb has more than 1. So not only can you basically bring in 10 of these things and pretty much clear Orthogalaxen from floor 1-14 or so, if you ever run into any rocks blocking your path, it's a guaranteed clear of those as well, which will only consume 1 of their uses.
You can register and buy them from Hagel after his wholesale is unlocked, just like any other bomb. Only real downside is that they are decently pricey (usually around 650) however the front quests that ask for them will more than get your money back if you decide to turn one in (I think it was 1400 cole for 1),
Course, all of this is pretty irrelevant if I'm underestimating the Tera. Well I guess the only better part about it is the only material you want to shoot for is Silvatite, rest of the materials you use don't matter as much, so I suppose it's easier to make.

Thanks Happenstance, I'll see what needs to be changed once I'm doing some more edits this weekend if I have the time.

But getting less than 3/10 stars for any assignment is always a Game Over, no matter what. If you're really that stretched for time and can't really manage Bread's suggested 8, you can still potentially go through without any issue...but it would require a bit more thought on your part. 12 assignments = 120 stars, but you only need 94+ (maybe 93+) to get True End. So you would be 5 down from the guide, but you can certainly make it up by doing better in the last year (although assignment 10 and 12 are decently difficult to get 10 stars in). So ultimately, you can manipulate it appropriately to whichever ending your shooting for, but it would stray from Bread's guide, and for maybe confusion's sake, you might not want to do.
I wouldn't even really suggest it myself, unless you're willing to accept any potential headaches. It gets a little mind-numbing to think about the management of your save files as is, even with Bread's guide.
It is just assignment 2 though, which isn't that difficult to get back to if you just want to start from scratch.

Oh Bread, I was just skimming through the guide once more and noticed some things with the ore/cloth list, near the bottom of the first page. I dunno if you've noticed it already, but you have a typo in the "Tanbeash" part. From what I can tell, Dragon Notsu is probably Dragon Tusk, since you don't have it listed and I know you get Halmolium from the higher quality ones. Marine light is probably Marinelite, which is an ore mostly found in Lost City, and I think Hom can get it in Orthogalaxen, can't quite remember though. Watching Grass Shadow might be Night Lady, since you don't have that listed but I know it makes Scale Cloth more often than not. Moonlight Flower might be Midnight Flower? Midnight usually goes Scale Cloth, and I'm pretty sure the other 2 rares from Night's Domain do as well (Dark Coral, Shadow Grass).
As for the Philosopher's Stone, honestly I have no inkling as to what that would be lol

Plank's Bier Garten: Waiting for the bus
I stayed nearby and only just went in for one, quick drink in advance of catching the bus on my way up to OSU. Very depressing looking place with an even more depressing clientele. Staff very perfunctory- the main action seems to be outside.
Dress Code: Casual
- Beer Tasting
- Business Travel
- Food and Dining
The Jury Room: And the verdict is...
Average! An old timer that has recently be taken over by new management. A very female-centric staff gets the basics done. I stopped-by to watch the Womens' soccer and did so but T.V did not have great reception(bartendress even less enthused). Overall, a blah experience.
Dress Code: Business casual
- Business Travel
- Beer Tasting
- Singles
Novack's On High: Drinks on High
A place with a bit more character than most other Short North destinations. 2nd floor location with a nice pool area. Ended up there on the late side and it was still alive and kickin'.
Dress Code: Casual or nice casual
- Singles
- Study Abroad
- Budget Travel
Ringside Cafe: Cold beer...hot place!
A very casual spot with excellent T.V.'s. Too bad the air conditioning wasn't working AT ALL on one of the hottest days of the year!! Watched the Womens' World Cup Soccer and chatted with a local. Bartendress fine except that she asked me "Are you doing a geneological study" when I asked her where she was from. Some of the other kitchen staff looked a little bit like they were on the run from something but this place has real, Downtown Columbus character. Pay special attention to some of the collegiate Gothic detail throughout this quirky, historic sports bar.
Dress Code: Casual
- Budget Travel
- Singles
Surly Girl saloon: Not an ounce of Surly
This is a very well-known Short North watering hole. Excellent mixed drink selection. Very good service- the bartender even made me the Sweet Tart drink that is no longer on the current menu. Had a long talk with a Dorothy Parker-esque patron I have dubbed the 'artist in residence' since she was sketching throughout my entire evening at the bar. Filled to the brim with locals here.

Columbus Maennerchor: Live Music in the German Village
In 1846, a group of 12 German immigrants decided to keep their culture alive in America by creating a men's chorus, or "Maennerchor". SInce then, a women's chorus and children's chorus have been formed, too. This has been a prominent social gathering place ever since.
Visiting Columbus on a Monday, I never expected to find much going on in the way of live entertainment. But there was a sign in front of this place advertising a live jazz orchestra, so I had to check it out.
It was Vaughn Wiester's 21-piece "Famous Jazz Orchestra". They could really swing! And they perform most Mondays at 7:30. It's worth going out of your way to see this, especially if you like the big bands. They play an assortment of compositions, not just the ones that all the other bands play. And some of the soloists are terrific. Check the website for more information on this and the other shows.
Dress Code: Casual, but not too casual.
- Music
Short North: Short North
Where do people in Columbus go for entertainment and nightlife? Short North is on their short list of places. This street is lined with shops, restaurants, clubs, and bars for many blocks. Go with an open mind, and you'll find something good.
Dress Code: Depends on the place.
- Food and Dining
- Arts and Culture

Ugly tuna saloona: Give me a fishbowl, and take my car keys
For being a pretty laid back bar, they are kind of trendy and original for this area. They serve food late (mostly seafood), and a good place to drink beer, or what they call "fishbowls." Fishbowls are some kind of fruity concoction with a rummer alligator in them. The alligator is filled with 151. You get to kep the bowl (and it is a very large drink that people tend to share) and the alligator.
Dress Code: Anything from Jimmy Buffet attire, to your fancy city-slicker-night-on-the-town uniform

Murphy McFlips: Good average hangout bar
This is a bar I got to a lot after getting off work in Polaris. Basically Polaris slowly shuts down after 9. First goes the mall, then the other shops, the restaurants..... So it is very normal to grab some after work drinks at Murphy's. The atmosphere is very laid back, but you can still get decent beers there.
Occasionally they have a live local band.
They have decent patio, and a parking lot.
18+ to hang, 21+ to drink
Dress Code: I usually show up in my uniform strait from work, a lot of others do that to.
- Singles
- Business Travel
- Work Abroad
SkyeBar: Dollar drinks, who can argue?
Skyebar gives off the feeling of being trendy and a little swanky for a campus bar. Usually they play hiphop music, but occasionally they will have a live band, or be themed to some other genre. Happy Hour although completely amazing (dollar wells, dollar select beers, and dollar select shots) is pretty quite and low key. Happy Hour is from 5-9, and usually if you make it there before Happy Hour is over they will give you a stamp allowing you to get discount drinks after 9. They don't serve any food. (Although for St. Patty's day they had a beef and cabbage special). This is the bar I most frequent.
Dress Code: Happy Hour is more casual, but usually in the evening people are dressier. Hiphop attire, business casual, jeans & Ts or sweaters, khakis and a button down, high-heel and skimpy skirts is what most people where there.
There is no cover, unless there is something special going on.
It is 21+

Dino's Pizza and Pub: Cheap Drinks!!!
This place has cheap drinks. Really Cheap and it really isnt a bad place to kill some time before an activity on the North Side. Not the best area of town but not to bad. This place has karoke on Friday and Saturday nights. IT has a pool table, several dart boards, big screen tv's and a really fun staff. If your looking to karoke this is a good place to go. The juke box has a great selection even the latest songs are available on it.
Dress Code: You can wear what ever you want.

Ugly Tuna Saloona: My Favorite Campus Bar
This is my absolute favorite campus area bar. I was there almost every single Wednesday night during my last quarter of college. Wednesdays are fish bowl nights. Fish bowls consist of some neon pink or neon green alcoholic concoction, along with a shot of 151 in an alligator. You can keep the bowl and the alligator. Wednesdays were also karaoke nights, except instead of singing along with a screen and a CD, you actually sing along with a live band. This place is great during the school year, but it's kind of boring when school's not in session and during the summer.
Elevator: Great Drinks
This downtown restaurant/bar has my favorite martinis in Columbus. I think I had some sort of really girly Starburst martini that still remains to be one of my favorite alcoholic beverages. Anyway, this place is fairly trendy and has a cool atmosphere. I hear the food is decent, but I've never actually had food there. The martinis are pretty good, though.
Spice Bar: Great Place
If you'd like to go somewhere a little classier in Columbus, head downtown to Spice Bar. I was there on my 21st birthday. This place offers rooms with different music/styles/themes. It can be sort of like a maze finding your way around, especially while inebriated. It's basically a really chill place with a slightly older crowd (as opposed to college students). It's 21+.
Little Bar: Campus Area
This 18+ bar in the OSU campus area resembles an IHOP on the outside and a ski lodge on the inside. There's also a decent patio. This place has a very impressive selection of beer, so if you're choosy, head on over to the Little Bar.

Last year, the nation's high court spelled out an individual right to own guns, the clear language of the Second Amendment on "a well regulated Militia" notwithstanding. Having spelled out that right, it should have come as no surprise that the court, in another 5-4 ruling this week, would insist that states and cities cannot unreasonably infringe on the right.
Though this Editorial Board was no fan of that first ruling, this second ruling logically follows. Importantly, however, neither ruling necessarily guts reasonable restrictions on guns.
The Supreme Court, in an opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito overturning a Chicago ban, said there is a constitutional right for people to keep handguns in their homes for self-defense. But read carefully what Alito added.
This is not a right, he wrote, "to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose." He also wrote that the ruling "does not imperil every law regulating firearms."
Still, it's clear that more legal challenges to gun restrictions are ahead. What is not as clear is that such challenges will prevail. In fact, some added restrictions are necessary.
As we wrote last year following the Supreme Court ruling in a Washington, D.C., gun case, legislators must continue to balance gun rights with the public's right to be safe from guns in the wrong hands.
For instance, the state Legislature still could craft legislation to: close the gun show loophole - in which unlicensed sellers sell to buyers without background checks; might still make it a felony to act as a straw buyer, for instance, for felons who are prohibited from gun ownership; and could make it a felony also to carry a concealed handgun without a permit. And, as we said earlier this year, the Legislature could even dangle a carrot to garner the support for such measures.
At the moment, Wisconsin is one of two states without concealed-carry laws. That prohibition, we've believed, has been prudent given the proliferation of guns already, particularly in Milwaukee. But getting these other gun laws in exchange for concealed carry strikes us as a reasonable trade-off.
In any case, the Legislature and Congress should not be lulled into inaction because of this week's ruling. Reasonable restrictions are permitted - and still necessary.
Should the state Legislature enact reasonable restrictions on guns? To be considered for publication as a letter to the editor, e-mail your opinion to the Journal Sentinel editorial department.

Corrections & Amplifications
A photo in Monday's Money & Investing section accompanying an excerpt from the book "Dark Pools" contained incorrect photo identifications in some editions. Thomas Peterffy, CEO of Interactive Brokers, was the executive in the larger photo, wearing glasses. Dave Cummings, Tradebot Systems founder, was the executive in the smaller photo.
MedjetAssist sells memberships in an emergency medical evacuation program for travelers. The Health Matters column in the Next special report on Monday incorrectly described the program as insurance.
Louisiana and other states with tax-incentive programs for filmmakers offer tax credits equal to a percentage of production-related expenditures. A U.S. News article June 5 about the incentive programs incorrectly said that Louisiana offers a rebate on the taxes applicable to those expenditures.
Trapeze School New York holds classes on Pier 40 overlooking the Hudson. The Metro Money column on Saturday incorrectly said that Pier 40 is part of the Chelsea Piers complex.

In this week's edition of the Mid-Ohio Valley's Most Wanted we have for you a Marietta man authorities say fired a pistol at someone and then tossing the evidence.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office is looking for 20-year old Shawn Williams.
Officials say a grand jury recently indicted Williams on three counts of second degree felonious assault and one count of third degree felony tampering with evidence.
They say in February of this year, Williams brandished a BB-gun pistol, pointing it at his ex-girlfriend and firing it at another individual.
Officials add that Williams then disposed of the gun in a dumpster.
If you have any information on where Williams may be, please call the sheriff's office at 740-376-7070, extension zero.

Already a subscriber or purchased this issue? Sign In ADAM QUESTELL The watchmaker in the 1920s who devised the self-winding wristwatch was on to a great idea: mechanically harvesting energy from the wearer's moving arm and putting it to work rewinding the watch spring. Today we are beginning to create extremely small energy harvesters that can supply electrical power to the tiny world of nanoscale devices, where things are measured in billionths of a meter. We call these power plants nanogenerators. The ability to make power on a minuscule scale allows us to think of implantable biosensors that can continuously monitor a patient's blood glucose level, or autonomous strain sensors for structures such as bridges, or environmental sensors for detecting toxins—all running without the need for replacement batteries. Energy sources are desperately needed for nanorobotics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), homeland security and even portable personal electronics. It is hard to imagine all the uses such infinitesimal generators may eventually find. THIS IS A PREVIEW. Buy this digital issue or subscribe to access the full article.

Our "Science Guy" Jason Lindsey shows us an amazing science experiment that uses the same stuff you may spread on your toast.
The strawberry jam is a pH indicator, which is a substance that indicates the degree of acidity or basicity through a color change. When the ammonia is added, the color changes to blue or purple, which indicates the ammonia is a base. When the vinegar is added, the color changes to red, which indicates the vinegar is an acid.

It's hard to tell without seeing a silver print of the same, but from what I can tell I made the following observations:
1. Texture control - since you are free to coat the emulsion on any paper you deem appropriate, you have a certain level of control of texture.
2. Highlights just glow with beautiful separations.
I have seen other platinum prints while visiting fellow photographers and museums, and there's a certain 'depth' to them that's hard to explain. I find them 3-dimensional and dynamic.
Hope that helps.

The Dawn of the Twentieth Century
Black Conservatism's Peak and
W.E.B. DuBois's Dramatic Assault against It
The dawn of the twentieth century proved to be the high-water mark of conservatism in black American political expression. The precepts of black conservative thought—pragmatic optimism, accommodationism, respect for Western institutions, and middle- class morality—had been validated in the lived experience of black leaders and businessmen in the North and South for nearly a century. These precepts not only served as the central animating principles of black political discourse but defined the structure and character of leading black social, political, and economic institutions. The black American vision of social progress and engagement had begun to crystallize, and its predominant trait was conservatism.
From a modern vantage point, it is difficult to imagine a world in which black Americans, often viewed as an unflinchingly liberal and progressive community, were by and large proponents of conservatism. This is especially true of liberals, who typically interpret the epic struggle for black racial empowerment as one characterized by flagrant opposition to the American status quo, relentless agitation and protest, and as sustained challenge to the racial orthodoxy etched in American public and private institutions. From this perspective, the freedom struggle was and is a progressive movement, with a decisively liberal posture. Conservatism, by contrast, is generally understood as marginally, if at all, relevant to the

You're going to hate me for this answer however, in a previous life I had the experience of photographing the occasional world cup downhill ski races. Along with the video crews it was not uncommon to ski/side-slip the course handholding the 400/F2.8 or 500/F4 with a backpack of film, spare cameras, crampons etc. That certainly focused the mind on the ski-ing!
Being slightly more pertinent; having seen those types of lenses take a tuumble and having a tumble with a back pack of gear - providing the accident speed was not too high there was more danger trauma from getting snow wedged on a lens than the tumble. High speed crash, different story.
Key point being, anything that detracts from your ski ability is a danger. A novice could break bones with a point and shoot, a skilled skier could take a 5x4.
Try a bum bag (fanny pack in usa?) instead of a rucsack.

(hidden for your protection)
JSC has reportedly put his Hoboken hideaway on the market, for reasons that are unclear at this time (and which we should not speculate over. Surely there are some who will be quick to suggest he's downsizing and freeing up cash in case he needs money for legal fees but we have no idea, do we? Maybe the new venture became a success sooner than anyone thought, and he's moving to a bigger place. Maybe he's decided to live in France full-time). Some details, for those interested in a place with a story to tell:
* 2 bedrooms
* 3.5 baths (jacuzzi in master suite)
* 2,400 square feet
* 1 parking space
* "media room with built-in entertainment system and adjacent bar serving area make for an entertainer's dream"
* $2.9 million

I don't really know much about vintage road bikes so sorry if I sound like an idiot.
Picked this bad boy up on craigslist. Needs alot of work but its still ridable. The frame was lightly scratched here and there, no major dents. After a 15min ride around the block, it looked like the brake lines were gonna snap soon so I put the bike aside for now. I'm having trouble finding out what type of Fuji it is. Some stickers on the frame read, VALite tubed, 414 single butted.

Created out of the frustrations of a creative mind, Lead & Light bring a dark and mysterious flavor to the table. All their shirts have a black and white theme with a similar style in design that create a real strong brand identity. One of my favorite things about Lead & Light is that they print each shirt individually by hand on American Apparel tees.
I love the detail in these designs and just overall vibe and mood that comes from them. These aren't your simple design mock ups but truly, well thought out artwork. I'm really diggin' this next one…
Not only are these tees individually printed, use American Apparel blanks, and have amazing artwork, but most of them are selling for only $15!! Check out these shirts and more on their website here.
