The senior staff find themselves landed with the task of decking the halls. For rubiscothegeek.
Josh stares up at it, scratching his chin. 'So, there are supposed to be decorations or something on this, right?'
DC gets its first snowfall. Donna is less than happy about it. For anonymous.
'I like snow,' he says. 'No one's too old to like snow.'
In Excelsis Deo remixed—Donna's the deputy chief of staff and Josh is her assistant, as prompted on AO3.
I'm still in need of a handful of prompts so please feel free to send away!
He grins up at her. 'I think I wanna learn how to ski.'
Donna takes a reluctant Josh ice skating. Rated G. Apologies for being late with this!
'In fact,' she continues, 'this little venture is really just so I can collect blackmail material.'
Donna receives a holiday gift. Written in response to the prompt "candy cane", for anonymous. Rated G.
Thank you so much for all the prompts I've had! I'm still in need of a few so if anyone has any suggestions that would be wonderful!
'How come you get candy canes from random interns and I don't?'
Josh and Donna take their daughter to a Santa's Grotto, based on the prompt "Elf", for anonymous.
Prompts are still very welcome!
'Aww, but coal is useful,' Josh says. We could build some nice, cosy fires to keep ourselves warm. Hey.' He looks up at Donna, lowering his voice a little. 'Isn't it time the traditional terrible present was a more renewable energy source?'
Donna surprises Josh with stockings for Christmas, for notabadday. This got long because I have absolutely no self-control. Rated M.
Prompts for this thing are still very welcome!
Two seconds!' Josh calls over his shoulder as he leads Donna away, and then his voice drops as he leans into her. 'Let's go home.'
Josh and Donna do Christmas in Wisconsin for the first time, for samanthaajones.
I'm still in need of some prompts, so if anyone wants to send me something fluffy and festive to take a swing at, I'd be very grateful!
Donna's family is big and loud and chaotic, and Josh can't keep track of their names. ('Oh, don't worry,' Donna says. 'Neither can I.')
Toby raised his eyebrows. 'You kissed Donna?'
'No!' Josh exclaimed, and then slumped. 'Yeah, technically. It was an accident, though!'
In which Donna would like to visit Canada and have sex with Josh. Not necessarily in that order. Pretty much just smut, set post-series, rated explicit.
'I think you should overcome your fear and come visit my home country with me.' Her hand moves higher up his leg, and he starts paying real attention to it.

OCR Rolls Out HIPAA Training Plan for AGs
Dom Nicastro, for HealthLeaders Media, March 10, 2011
The training takes places at the following sites and dates:
- Dallas: April 4 and 5
- Atlanta: May 9 and 10
- Washington, DC (metro area): May 19 and 20
- San Francisco: June 13 and 14
Jeff Drummond, health law partner in the Dallas office of Jackson Walker, LLP, puts adding state attorneys general to the HIPAA enforcement mix this way: "There are 50 new sheriffs in town."
"Most state AGs are elected, and almost all of them do everything they can to get re-elected," says Drummond. "That means they'll be much more susceptible to public or political pressure to pursue HIPAA violations, particularly if there's a 'good story' behind the breach. They want to be seen as protecting the little guy, and they're much more incentivized" than OCR.
Dom Nicastro is a contributing writer. He edits the Medical Records Briefings newsletter and manages the HIPAA Update Blog.

Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography |
Health Care Providers - Care Paths And Protocols - Children & Adolescents | |||
Stroke, defined as an acute, clinically apparent neurological event, occurs in 8-11% of children with Hb SS. Most strokes are ischemic events caused by stenosis or occlusion of large cerebral arteries such as the intracranial internal carotids and middle cerebrals. Stroke typically occurs without warning and causes significant long-term neurologic sequelae in at least 50% of cases. Chronic transfusion after a first stroke reduces markedly the high risk of recurrent stroke, but this is a suboptimal approach because it does not prevent the initial neurologic injury. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography provides a non-invasive method for identifying children with Hb SS who are at high risk for developing a first stroke. High risk patients are those with increased blood velocity in large cerebral vessels, indicative of vascular narrowing. Patients with mean blood-flow velocity in the internal carotid or middle cerebral artery of >200cm/second are at highest risk. A prospective randomized study demonstrated that chronic transfusions reduce the risk of first stroke in such high risk patients. These data have led some to recommend routine TCD screening of children with sickle cell anemia, and the initiation of a chronic transfusion program for those with abnormal screening tests. The use of TCD and chronic transfusions to prevent first stroke is an exciting development. However, a number of important issues continue to limit the implementation of this approach: Thus, our group feels that it is premature to recommend that all sickle cell anemia patients with sickle cell anemia be routinely screened with TCD. Screening requires that the method be reproducibly established at individual centers according to the protocol established for children with sickle cell disease (details available at http://www.neuro.mcg.edu/cvhp/stop). Once standardized, TCD screening can be offered to families, with disclosure of pros and cons and alternatives to chronic transfusions for children with positive results. This approach will facilitate informed decision-making by families. Chronic transfusions should be discussed with families of children at high risk for stroke, but data are currently insufficient to recommend that all such patients be transfused indefinitely. Finally, we recognize that information about this issue is rapidly evolving, and that approaches to TCD screening will vary among institutions.

Tesla increases Model S prices

- Email | Twitter | Google+
Tesla prices on its Model S sedans are going up.
You're safe if you have a reservation - you'll still get your electric sedan for $49,900. But for those of you who haven't ordered one, expect to see a heftier cost - which Tesla hasn't disclosed yet - coming in the next few weeks.
Tesla in recent months has been dealing with production delays and supplier issues. It has improved its production issues (Los Angeles Times does a nice story on the numbers here), though it is still losing money. In its third-quarter earnings, the Palo Alto company lost $105 million, compared to $65 million from the third quarter a year ago. Total revenue also dipped, to $50.1 million from $57.7 million for the third quarter, year over year.
On a Tesla forum, the company's director of online experience Nick Kincaid, wrote: "This price increase is planned to be announced with full details, effective dates, pricing and options packages in the next two to three weeks."

Rank 2 Homid Gift
By staring into the eyes of a human or animal, a werewolf can cause the target to flee in terror. This Gift can be used against other werewolves, but the target will freeze in place rather than flee. A ram or snake-spirit teaches this gift.
System: The Garous using this Gift may focus on only one target per turn; the player rolls Charisma + Intimidation (difficulty 5 + the victim's Rank). The victim flees for one turn per success, although he may expend a Willpower point to resist the Gift's effects for a turn. Should the character score five or more successes, the victim flees for the duration of the scene. Werewolves (and most powerful Wyrm-monsters) will not flee, but they cannot attack while the Gift's user continues to stare them down. However, if they are attacked themselves, all bets are off.
Source: Core book revised.
Sense the Unnatural
Rank 2 Lupus Gift / Rank 3 Fianna Gift
Fianna version is Camp: Tuatha de Fionn
The werewolf can sense any unnatural presence and determine its approximate strength and type. Supernatural presences can include magic, spirits, the Wyrm, wraiths and vampires, although it won't pick them out specifically as such. The werewolf may sense a person plagued by hauntings as easily as a ghost. Any spirit servant of Gaia can teach this gift.
System: The player rolls Perception + Enigmas. The more successes he rolls, the more information he gains. The sensory input is somewhat vague and subject to interpretation though. For instance, a vampire might smell of old blood, of fear, of rotten flesh, of fresh meat or of whatever else the Storyteller finds appropriate. Interpreting the information properly might require an Intelligence + Occult roll (Storyteller's option).
Source: Core book revised / Fianna Tribebook
Silver Claws
Rank 3 Ahroun Gift / Rank 3 Silver Fang Gift
The Ahroun can establish her battlefield primacy against other werebeasts by transforming her own claws into silver. A Lune teaches this Gift.
System: The player rolls Gnosis (difficulty 7) to activate the Gift. The transformation lasts for the scene or until the Ahroun decides to end the Gift. Silver claws still do aggravated damage to all targets, and they are naturally unsoakable to the Garou and most other werebeasts. While the Ahroun manifests the calws, she suffers searing agonies. Each turn, she gains an automatic Rage point. Furthermore, all non-combat difficulties increase by one because of the distraction. When her Rage points exceed her Willpower, she must check for frenzy.
Source: Core book revised.
Spirit Savage
Rank 3 Ahroun Gift
In the spirit world, a warrior often finds himself dealing with hostile spirits much more often than he'd like. This Gift allows the Ahroun to brutally savage a spirit with a bite, impeding the spirit's ability to attack or defend itself. Spirits find this Gift horrifying, and are unwilling to aid any warrior who uses it unjustly (such as against any Gaian spirit). It's taught by wolverine-spirits, who care little for the opinion of their fellows.
System: The Garou must successfully bite his spirit opponent and spend a Rage pint. The player then rolls Strength + Brawl, difficulty 4; if the successes equal or exceed the spirit's Willpower, the spirit's Rage is effectively reduced by one point, plus one point for every extra success, for the rest of the scene. This Gift can be used only once per scene against any given spirit, and it cannot reduce a spirit to zero Rage.
For example, Tanya Riverjumper ignores the foul stench and clamps down on a Hogling. She gains six successes; three more than the Hogling's Willpower. The Hogling loses four Rage for the rest of the scene; it now has only four dice to attack and defends itself, and it's probably terrified to boot.
Source: Umbra
Purity of Spirit
Rank 3 Ahroun Gift
Many Galliards relate stories describing the werewolves' weakness to silver as a kind of chiminage — the price Luna extracts from her children for the gift of Rage. Using this Gift, the werewolf can, at great cost, briefly shield himself against silver's damaging power with his own spiritual energies. A Lune teaches this Gift.
System: The Garou spends a number of Gnosis points and immediately receives this many automatic successes to soak damage from silver, even if she has no dice to roll. The effects lasts for a number of turns equal to the Gnosis spent, not including the remainder of the turn in which it was activated.
The Gift does not take an action to activate, and indeed can be activated immediately if the Garou has been struck by surprise with a silver bullet or blade to help ameliorate the damage… as long as the user hasn't spent any Rage that turn of course. This Gift cannot be active at the same time as Luna's Armor; whichever is activated last cancels the prior Gift.
Source: Book of Auspices
Combat Healing
Rank 3 Ahroun Gift
The Ahroun are famous for their ability to fight — it's their purpose in life. This Gift allows a Garou to heal wounds during combat without hesitation or even a moment's pause. While other Garou are licking their wounds, the Ahroun with this Gift keeps fighting. Wolverine-spirits teach this Gift, although they usually have to be bested in combat first.
System: The player spends two Rage points to activate this Gift. The Garou no longer need pause for a turn to heal a Health Level or roll Stamina to heal during combat. Every round, the Ahroun heals one nonaggravated Health Level, regardless of her actions.
Source: Player's Guide Second Edition.
Wind Claws
Rank 3 Ahroun Gift
The Ahroun's claws and fangs pass through the flimsy protections of their enemies as though they were but air and hope. An air elemental teaches this Gift.
System: The player spends one Rage point. For the rest of the turn, all of the Ahroun's natural attacks completely ignore any armor (mundane or magical) that targets might be wearing; the targets forfeit all soak dice from such protection
Source: 20th Anniversary Edition
Heart of Fury
Rank 3 Ahroun Gift
The Garou can steel himself against anger, suppressing his Rage and creating a mental dam against the explosive frenzies of his kind. This anger will catch up with him eventually, though, so he must vent it before it breaks free. A boar-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The player rolls Willpower (difficulty of the character's permanent Rage rating). Every two successes add one to the character's frenzy difficulties for the scene, making it harder to frenzy. When the scene ends, however, past slights and injuries come rushing back to haunt the Garou, refilling the Garou's heart and soul. He must spend one Willpower point or make a frenzy check immediately at the regular difficulty.
Source: Core book revised.
Shatter Bone
Rank 3 Ahroun Gift
Victims with twisted arms or crushed legs are much easier prey. The Ahroun with this Gift can destroy bone with a single punch, regardless of the damage inflicted by the blow. A hyena-spirit teaches this Gift
System: Before striking an opponent, the Ahroun must spend a Willpower point and a Rage point. The Garou must target a specific limb, which increases the attack's difficulty. The player must score at least three successes. Also, he must spend the Willpower and Rage even if the blow does not connect or he scores fewer than three successes. The Successful use of this Gift crushes whatever bone structure lies beneath the targeted flesh and causes a number of Health Levels of damage equal to the number of successes in the attack roll -3. Broken arms and legs subsequently handicap an opponent in any combat. Broken ribs hinder movement and can possibly puncture a lung. A fractured skull renders the victim unconscious in most cases. A broken spine causes paralysis. This attack is unsoakable but doe not cause aggravated wounds.
Target Skull Arm Leg Rib Spine |
Difficulty +3 +2 +1 +2 +4 |
Special Effect Stamina roll (difficulty 8) to remain conscious Dexterity roll to hold items; target cannot use broken limb to attack. Dexterity roll to remain standing; target cannot run or attack with broken limb. Stamina roll (difficulty 6) to avoid puncturing a lung. Must attack target from rear; target remains paralyzed until this wound heals. |

Flames of Hestia
Rank 3 Black Furies Gift
By spending one Gnosis point and making a Gnosis roll against difficulty 8, the Fury produces white flames around her hands. These flames purify whatever they touch; cleansing tainted food or water. They will also reduce damage inflicted by radiation, poison, or disease by one level per success. The flames do one level per success in aggravated damage to Banes and fomorii if the Fury scores a successful hit while invoking the Gift during hand-to-hand combat.
Source: Tribebook: Black Furies
Flames of Hestia
Rank 3 Black Furies Gift
The Black Furies revere the holy Wyld places of the world; part of the tribe's set of tools is the Flames of Hestia Gift, which enables a Black Fury to purify a person, spirit, or object with searing white-hot spiritual flame. The fire coruscates around the Fury's hands, enabling her to apply the Gift to anything she can touch. This Gift is taught by an avatar of Hestia the teacher.
System: Spend one Gnosis and roll Gnosis with a difficulty of 8. Success enables the Fury to cleanse tainted food or water, or heal damage caused by radiation, poison, or disease at one Health Level per success. The Flames of Hestia last for just one turn; however a Fury can activate the Gift and strike at a foe in the same turn. Flames of Hestia do one level of unsoakable aggravated damage per success on the Gift roll, if used against a Bane or fomor in hand-to-hand combat.
Source: Tribebook: Black Furies (revised)
Heart Claw
Rank 3 Black Furies Gift
The Fury breaks one of her claws off in a wound, imbuing it with all of her killing intent. The claw continues to burrow into her opponent's flesh, and will not stop until it finds his heart. A wasp-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: Upon making a successful claw attack, the player spends one point of Willpower. The burrowing claw inflicts one automatic level of unsoakable lethal damage each subsequent turn until it either kills the target or is dug out of the wound (a Dexterity + Medicine action, difficulty 7, requiring a turn's full concentration).
Source: 20th Anniversary Edition
Wings of Pegasus
Rank 3 Black Furies Gift
The Fury can sprout majestic wings when in Hispo form, allowing her to fly at will. An avatar of Pegasus teaches this Gift.
System: The player spends a Gnosis point to produce the wings capable of 50 miles per hour (80 kph) flight, which last until dismissed. Fine flying maneuvers require a Dexterity + Athletics roll at a difficulty determined by the Storyteller.
Source: 20th Anniversary Edition
Coup de Grace
Rank 3 Black Furies Gift
The Garou studies her foe, looking for the best place to strike. In doing so, she sets herself up to land this devastating attack. An owl-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The player spends one Willpower point and rolls Perception + Brawl (difficulty of the target's Stamina + Dodge). If successful, the player doubles her damage dice on the Garou's next successful attack.
Source: Core book revised.
Barring the Will
Rank 3 Black Furies Gift
The Mother's will is impossible to compromise when she does not wish to yield. She can sacrifice her anger and spirit energies to replenish her strength of purpose. This Gift is taught by a Donkey-spirit.
System: A Mother using this Gift rolls Intelligence + Occult with a target of her own permanent Willpower; she spends one point of temporary rage and one temporary Gnosis, and refills her Willpower pool if she achieves 2 or more successes.
Source: Tribebook: Black Furies (revised)
Visceral Agony
Rank 3 Black Furies Gift
The werewolf's claws change to barbed, wicked talons dripping with black venom. While wounds caused by these claws cause no extra damage, the pain alone they inflict is crippling. A pain-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The player spends a Rage point before the character attacks. Any wound penalties the target suffers as a result of this attack are doubled (i.e., a foe at Wounded would lose four dice). If the target is in frenzy or otherwise resistant to pain, he still suffers normal wound penalties.
Source: Core book revised.
Bacchantes' Rage
Rank 3 Black Furies Gift
When deep in the wilds, the Black Furies can use this Gift to inflict extra damage. Even the toughest Get have walked away with a battle scar due to the effects of this potent Gift — and some couldn't walk away at all. This Gift is taught by a Wyld-spirit.
System: The Garou spends two Gnosis points to activate the Gift. During combat, she may spend Rage points to deal extra damage after a wounding hit; every point spent causes one additional, unsoakable Health Level of damage.
Source: Player's Guide Second Edition.
Winged Delivery
Rank 3 Black Furies
Camp: Sisterhood
While the Sisterhood has a large network of Kinfolk, contacts, smugglers and informants available, at times the most effective means to move an item is to give it to a friendly spirit and have that spriit make the delivery. Using this Gift and some concentration, the character pushes a small item into the Umbra and gives it to an Owl Jaggling, which will deliver the item to a well identified person or location as rapidly as it can travel.
Garou who abuse this Gift to send dangerous items or active weapons (like grenades) into the Umbra – thereby jeopardizing the owl-spirit's existance – find that the retribution of the spirit world is swift and harsh. This Gift is obviously taught by owl-spirits.
System: Spend one Gnosis and roll Charisma + Empathy (difficulty the local Gauntlet). On a success, the item enters the Owl Jaggling's talons in the Umbra, and the Jaggling will deliver it to a clearly defined recipient. A human or Garou recipient must be named and described; a location need only be described, with directions given. The Owl Jaggling travels at roughly 100 miles per hour through the spirit world, and will deposit the item in the immediate vicinity of the target unless the target is somehow protected against the spirit world or prevailing Gauntlet exceeds 7. If either of those conditions prevent delivery, the spirit returns to the Garou at full speed and returns the item without comment.

Cooter's Revenge
Rank 3 Bone Gnawer Gift
Any Bone Gnawer who watches too much television knows about Cooter. He's got a tow truck parked down the street from the Dukes of Hazzard, and he always has the right tool for the right job. Followers of the tribe's automotive totem (described under "Totems") train extensively with automotive tools, and wouldn't be caught dead without them. This Gift not only makes proper repairs much easier, but can also save your life if you're caught unaware while changing a tire by the side of the freeway.
System: This Gift requires a heavy, automotive tool at least as big as a large crescent wrench (anything smaller than a half-inch crescent wrench won't do). If you voluntarily lend out any of your tools, you can't use this Gift until you get them back.
For one Gnosis this Gift reduces the difficulty of any automotive repair roll to 4, (but only if your using the right tool). For one Rage, the Gift can make the tool a deadlier weapon. Wheather you prefer a tire iron or power drill, you can use your chosen tools to inflict Strength + 3 lethal damage for one scene. As an added bonus, you can do the same damage with all four hubcaps, the four wheel wells, and the spare tire of a car as ranged weapons.

Lucky Bastard
Rank 3 Bone Gnawers Gift
By performing an epic feat to please the spirits, you've found a way to overcome the curse of your jackal's blood. This Gift is taught by a jackal-spirit, usually as an act of forgiveness after an appropriate Umbral quest lasting at least one game session.
System: This Gift can be used once per game session. The Garou spends one Gnosis; the person roleplaying him can then reroll any one dice pool for that character. The effects only apply if the roll is "better" (that is, scores more successes) than the original roll.

Call the Rust
Rank 3 Bone Gnawers Gift
By whistling softly through his teeth, the werewolf can summon sudden and destructive rust onto any metal within his immediate vicinity. Guns corrode and jam, knives crumble, and cars become flaking hunks of junk. This Gift is taught by a water elemental.
System: The player spends a point of Gnosis and rolls Wits + Crafts, with a difficulty depending on the amount of metal being corroded. A gun or knife would be difficulty 6, while a car might be difficulty 8.

Laugh of the Hyena
Rank 3 Bone Gnawers Gift
Hyena follows no one; instead, he laughs and mocks anyone who tries to command him. In the same fashion, a Garou who can actually convince a Hyena-spirit to teach him such defiance can steal the spirit's mocking laughter. The Garou can learn to resist any attempt to command, cajole, force, or demand him to do something he doesn't want to do. This is never subtle. The Garou (and the player) must cackle like a hyena-spirit when calling upon this Gift.
System: The Bone Gnawer has a -2 difficulty to any Willpower roll used to resist mental domination or control. This includes the Gift: Roll Over; all effects of the vampire Discipline: Dominate; all effects of the mage Mind Sphere; and all effects of the wraith Arcanos: Puppetry.

Friend In Need
Rank 3 Bone Gnawers Gift
It takes a lot for a pack to accept a Bone Gnawer as an equal, but once they do, the Bone Gnawer's loyalty is unshakable. This Gift allows a Bone Gnawer to risk all, even his own life, to aid a packmate or tribemate. A dog-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: When a packmate or fellow Bone Gnawer is in danger, the Bone Gnawer may "lend" him what he needs, be it a Gift the Bone Gnawer knows, his Rage, his Willpower, or even his own life (in the form of health levels). The Bone Gnawer cannot lend a Gift of a higher rank than the recipient could know, nor can he lend Abilities or Attributes. The player must spend one Willpower point and roll Willpower (difficulty 7) and must succeed for the transfer to take place. If the roll botches, the Bone Gnawer loses the Traits in question but the recipient does not gain them. This Gift lasts until the end of the scene unless the recipient decides to terminate it early. If the recipient dies before the Traits are returned, the Bone Gnawer loses them permanently.

Dumpster Diving
Rank 3 Bone Gnawers Gift
One of the less sanitary tribal totems, the Great Trash Heap, has dissipated its consciousness throughout the dumping grounds, landfills, and trash piles of the world. Bone Gnawers who follow this totem commune with the Incarna by defending, protecting and even obeying these festering heaps. When a Garou has reached this rank of renown, he may be called upon to travel between festering sacred sates to carry out the totem's demands.
Just as entering a Moon Bridge helps Garou travel between caerns, dumpster diving allows Bone Gnawers and thier packs to venture from one shrine of the Great Trash Heap to another. The werewolf burrows down into the trash, tunnels around in it, and then resurfaces inside another Heap on another part of the planet. Obviously this Gift is taught by a totem-spirit of the Great Trash Heap. A Garou termporarily servin the totem through the Level One Gift: Tagalong can learn this gift, but the werewolf must still petition the totem each time he uses it.
System: The totem decides when to open and close these gateways and assigns their destinations. When the pack goes dumpster diving, the highest-ranking Bone Gnawer makes a Gnosis roll (difficulty 4) when entering the trash pile; the travel time is the same as for stepping sideways. This ability cannot be used more than once per day, and it only works at the totem's behest. Keeping these pathways open is difficult so the traveler and his pack must return to their original site within three days, If they don't make it back in time, they'll have to travel back by more conventional means.
Source: Tribebook: Bone Gnawers (Revised)
Rank 3 Bone Gnawers Gift
Playing upon the compassion of others, Bone Gnawers can generate an amazing amount of pity. By exaggerating her miserable state, a clever Bone Gnawer can gain favor with people who have too much anyway. By groveling or telling her particular sob story, she ;might get a handout, a favor or at least a good meal. A pigeon-spirit teaches this Gift, which is one reason only Bone Gnawers ever learn it.
System: The player must spend one Gnosis point and roll Manipulation + Performance. If the roleplaying is particularly moving, the player can forgo the roll at the Storyteller's discretion. The difficulty depends on the target: a charitable Child of Gaia might be a 4, whereas an overbearing Get of Fenris might be a 9. The number of successes determines the amount of pity generated and the generosity of the favor.

Rant and Rave
Rank 3 Bone Gnawers Gift
Suffused with the pure energy of the Wyld, the user of this Gift rants and raves in a torrent of nonsensical language. Only others who are properly attuned to his magic silver-hammer disco ball dimension can penetrate his tinfoil hat. More precisely, any member of his pack or the Bone Gnawer tribe can decode whaterver nonsense he is saying. He can also project these thoughts at a distance to one listener; the ranting Garou chooses which individual receives his psychic transmission.
The listener does not have to actually hear the ranting Garou. As long as he's within the same city, or even the same state or province, there's a chance he'll receive the message. (Unlike teh Gift: Mindspeak, line of sight is not always required.) Ranting Bone Gnawers have been known to hold entire conversations from opposite sides of the same city, taking turns shouting violent imprecations to no one in particular. A Wyldling-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The ranting Garou spends one Gnosis for each werewolf he wants to receive his secret message; the duration is one scene. Each one of these targets must either be a member of his pack or a Bone Gnawer. (This is allowable if he's temporarily joined a pack with the Bone Gnawer Gift: Tagalong.) Roll the ranters Appearance + Expression (difficulty 6); the number of successes limits how far away his recipient can be.
one line of sight (as per Mindspeak)
two same building
three same city block
four same city
five same state or province
For Wyld reasons no one can understand, the most powerful application of this Gift actually does have a longer range in Texas or Alaska than in Rhode Island, New Hampshire, or Vermont. Bone Gnawer Deserters have gone on epic Umbral quests to deduce the reason why, but have never returned with any sufficiently logical answer.
Source: Tribebook: Bone Gnawers (Revised)
Gift of the Termite
Rank 3 Bone Gnawers Gift
The Bone Gnawer can cause wood and appear to rot with astonishing speed. Furniture falls apart, documents disintegrate and even building collapse. Obviously, the best instructor of this Gift is a termite-spirit.
System: After spending one Gnosis point, the character rolls Intelligence + repair (difficulty 7). The number of successes determines the amount of wood or paper destroyed: One success can rot a ream of paper, three successes can deteriorate w all, and five successes can collapse the roof of a small building. Strategic use of this power can have dramatic results even for users with little skill.
Source: Player's Guide Second Edition.
Gift of the Skunk
Rank 3 Bone Gnawers Gift
With this Gift, the Garou can swell his musk glands, allowing him to spray musk like a skunk. It is, of course, taught by a skunk-spirit.
System: The spray is directed with a Dexterity + Primal-Urge roll (difficulty 7, maximum range of 10 feet). A target struck by this attack must spend a Willpower point to do anything but spend the first turn retching. Afterwards, he subtracts one from his dice pools for the rest of the scene for every two successes rolled. Immersion in water negates this Gift, and it is ineffective against targets with no sense of smell.
Source: 20th Anniversary Edition
Streets Tell Stories
Rank 3 Bone Gnawers Gift
You've got an ear to the sidewalk… literally. By touching a road, sidewalk, or path of some kind, you recieve a flash of impressions about what has transpired there during the last twenty-four hours. Urban spirits whisper words, waft scents, and even give a taste of events in the neighborhood. This Gift is bestowed by a City Mother or City Father Totem, usually as a reward for acting in defense of the city.
System: Spend one Gnosis and roll Perception + Streetwise (difficulty 6). You may specify what sort of information you require before you roll the dice. One success reveals a brief sensory impression with any one sense other than sight. Three successes gives a rush of images (described rapid-fire by the Storyteller); you may ask questions about any one of them and receive more specific details with all five senses. Five successes gives you access complete recall about everyone who's passes within the last day, including impressions from all five senses. However, you'll need to spend a scene sitting and thinking to recall this amount of detail.
Source: Tribebook: Bone Gnawers (Revised)
Rank 3 Bunyip Gift
The Aboriginal people of Australia are said to sing to the land; an explanation for such stories is the Bunyip's ability to hear the speech of the Earth. This Gift is taught by servants of the Rainbow Serpent.
System: The Bunyip must crouch and put his ear to the ground, making a Gnosis roll (difficulty 6). The number of successes indicates the radius in miles inside which the Bunyip hears what is happening on the land's surface. If the Bunyip also spends a Gnosis point and makes a successful Past Life roll (difficulty 8), he can hear sounds from the land's past. The information will be scant at best, but it is possible to listen to sounds of many years ago if the land has some reason to remember them.
Source: Past Lives
Lonesome Voice of the Bunyip / Bunyip's Boon
Rank 3 Bunyip Gift
This Gift was one of the last Bunyip Gifts to be developed, as it directly arose from the pain and loss of the War of Shame. It is taught by Bunyip ancestor-spirits. The Garou using this Gift emits the booming cry of Great Bunyip himself, a frightening and saddening roar-howl of fear and loneliness.
System: The player spends one Gnosis and rolls Charisma + Performance (difficulty 7). The Gift affects all non-Bunyip within earshot. Those affected lose one temporary point of Willpower per success, and cannot regain Willpower until they have retreated from the Gift user's immediate area (roughly earshot) or until the scene ends. No victim can be affected by this Gift more than once in any sunset-to-sunrise or sunrise-to-sunset period.
Source: Past Lives / Rage Across Australia
Spirit Friend
Rank 3 Children of Gaia Gift
A Child of Gaia's presence is generally more beatific than that of most werewolves, and although humans can't sense this aura of peace, spirits can. The Garou can use this Gift to aid in interactions with spirits. A unicorn-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The player rolls Charisma + Empathy (difficulty 7). Each success adds one die to any rolls involving interactions with spirits for the duration of the scene.
Source: Core book revised.
Pain Chain
Rank 3 Children of Gaia Gift
A doctor who treats only the symptoms of a disease doesn't cure it, but merely prolongs the patient's suffering. The Children of Gaia likewise know that only attacking the pawns of the Wyrm merely prolongs the Apocalypse War, rather than ending it. This Gift helps them go after the Wyrm itself by sensing who's pulling whose strings, and even understanding who's pulling theirs in turn. It is taught by a dog-spirit.
System: The player spends one point of Gnosis and rolls Perception + Investigation (difficulty 8). Each success lets you move "up the chain" one step, revealing the name and face of the next person delivering orders to your target. A single success would reveal that the corporate oil baron is being ridden by a particularly manipulative Bane, two would let you know which Black Spiral summoned the Bane, and three might tell you who that Black Spiral's alpha is. None of this informs the Child of Gaia where these people are, but it gives them firm names and visual impressions to go after.
Source: Players' Guide to Garou (revised)
Guilt Trip
Rank 3 Children of Gaia Gift
By unearthing buried guilt and remorse, the Child of Gaia can force another to perform an action against her own will. Even if little relation exists between the guilty conscience and the task at hand, the Gift can be effective. Better results occur when there is a direct link, however. The Gift works best when the target wants to perform the action, but pride or fear prevents her from doing so.
Many urban spirits that have witnessed the cruelty of humanity toward itself know this Gift and teach it to the Garou.
System: The player must roleplay the plea; otherwise the Gift automatically fails. Excellent roleplaying can even negate the need for a roll (or even the need for the Gift). Otherwise, the player must roll Manipulation + Empathy versus the target's Willpower. One success barely gets a Bone Gnawer to lift his pinkie, whereas five successes can force a proud Silver Fang to beg for forgiveness. The target can spend Willpower points to resist this Gift.
Source: Player's Guide Second Edition.
Soothe the Savage Beast
Rank 3 Children of Gaia Gift
By being the catalyst for any sort of soothing music (singing, turning on a radio, playing a CD, etc.) the Garou makes it more difficult to Rage. When Garou must fight one another, the Children of Gaia sometimes use this to their advantage, as many are more experienced at holding back their Rage. A nightingale-spirit teaches this Gift.
The player rolls Gnosis, difficulty 7. Each success increases the difficulty of Rage rolls by 1 for all those in earshot (to a maximum difficulty of 10). The effects last for as long as the Child of Gaia is able to continue providing music.
Source: Tribebook: Children of Gaia (Revised)
Rank 3 Children of Gaia Gift
The Garou can flood a target's mind with the glory and love of Gaia, rendering him harmless for a short while. A unicorn-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The player rolls Charisma + Empathy. The difficulty varies according to the target.
Target Normal human Packmate Gaian Garou (even frenzied) Wyrm creature (including Black Spiral Dancers) Alien or unemotional creatures (vampires) |
Difficulty 4 5 6 8 9 |
Dazzle rarely works to pacify spirits that don't feel emotion or that have specific emotional focus (like hate-spirits). Success indicates that the target sits down and stays there, contemplating Gaia's love quietly, for the rest of the scene. Attacking the target will disrupt the effects of this Gift. Dazzle can be used on a given target only once per scene.
Source: Core book revised.
Lover's Touch
Rank 3 Children of Gaia Gift
The Garou can restore what another lacks: not only wounds healed, but also strength of will and even spiritual essence. Any spirit of love or avatar of Unicorn may
teach this Gift.
The Garou touches the afflicted person kindly; the system is the same as for Mother's Touch. The two need not be lovers but the contact must convey affection and warmth; the two may embrace, one may caress the other or wrestle with him, or there may be further intimacy. The Garou spends a Gnosis point and rolls Intelligence + Medicine as usual; each success may restore one health level of damage, one point of Willpower, or one point of Essence (if the target is a spirit). The difficulty is the Rage or Willpower of the other person (whichever is higher). The
player may choose to divide the successes among multiple pools; he need not choose to heal only wounds or Willpower. In all other respects, this Gift functions as Grandmother's Touch, save that it can be used on spirits (but, yet again, not undead).
Source: Tribebook: Children of Gaia (Revised)
Chant of Morpheus
Rank 3 Children of Gaia Gift
The user of this Gift can induce a long, restful slumber in the target. Although the Gift will not stop a frenzied werewolf, it can ward off a frenzy before one takes place. The Gift disinclines any hostile activity after the peaceful rest. Also, the waking victim is able to think much more clearly. An opossum-spirit teaches this Gift to individuals with patience and a lot of time.
System: The number of successes on a Charisma + Enigmas roll (difficulty equal to the opponent's Willpower) determines the number of hours that the target sleeps. One Gnosis point activates this power. For one hour after waking, the target must spend a Willpower point to take any hostile action against the user of this Gift. Any attacks directed at the sleeper awaken her immediately and end the effects of the Gift.
Source: Player's Guide Second Edition.
Words of the Alpha
Rank 3 Children of Gaia Gift
The Children have often sought leadership in human societies as well as among Garou. This Gift allows a leader to seek the best course of action for a particular goal. Eagle teaches this Gift.
The Garou meditates on the chosen goal, spends a Gnosis point, and rolls Intelligence + Leadership (difficulty 8), For each success, she gains one fragment of insight, be it a word of advice or hint at secret knowledge, into the right way to lead this group toward her chosen end. Note that Eagle does not show the most popular way, or the easiest way. His flight is high, and he flies alone.
Source: Tribebook: Children of Gaia (Revised)
The Cleaving Hoof
Rank 3 Children of Gaia Gift
Unicorn's powerful hoofblows often killed the humans that hunted him. This gift allows the Garou to focus inner strength into a single blow, ending a fight before further harm can take place. A Unicorn-spirit teaches this Gift.
The player spends a Gnosis point before rolling to hit. If he successfully strikes his opponent, the dice gained from Strength in his damage pool count as automatic successes rather than dice. Dice in the damage pool gained from weapons, claw damage or extra successes on the attack roll must be rolled as usual. For example, a werewolf with Strength 5 uses this Gift before successfully clawing an opponent; his damage pool works out to be 9 dice (5 for Strength, +1
for the claw maneuver, +3 for three additional successes on the attack roll). The player rolls tour damage dice, adding any successes (or subtracting in the case or
rolling ones) to the five automatic successes on the damage roll. The defender may soak as usual.
Source: Tribebook: Children of Gaia (Revised)
Good Faith
Rank 3 Children of Gaia Gift
With this Gift, the Garou can cause all those in his presence to become filled with a sense of higher purpose. They all feel the work they must do together is more important than their differences. All other distractions are gone, and they feel inspired to take reasonable positions, rather than inflexible postures or exaggerated stands intended to be bargained away. Those who resist, and continue to bargain in bad faith, become loudly and uncontrollably flatulent each time they state their position. This Gift is taught by avatars of the New World Trinity totem.
System: The Garou rolls Wits + Expression against a difficulty of 6. Anyone who actively wants to resist finding common ground or negotiating in good faith must make a resisted Willpower roll (Difficulty 6) against the Garou's number of successes. If he fails to resist, his opposition will be betrayed by his sudden flatulence, and he will likely be shunned and viewed as absurdly inflexible by those who bargain in good faith.
Source: Tribebook: Children of Gaia
Gift of Plenty
Rank 3 Croatian Gift
Fertility spirits beholden to the Corn Maiden teach this Gift, by which a single chosen object can be multiplied into many duplicate objects. In this way, a warrior can make several arrows from one prototype arrow or more bullets from a single bullet. Any object with spiritual power (such as a fetish) cannot be duplicated. Anything else, from $20 bills to food can be multiplied using this Gift.
System: The player spends one Gnosis point and rolls Charisma + Crafts, difficulty 7. The number of successes determines the number of objects (including the original) that result; two successes will create one extra duplicate item, four successes will create three, and so on. Duplicating precious metals or rare ritual components requires an expenditure of two Gnosis points; rare gems or materials such as plutonium, three Gnosis points.
The newly created objects will last for only 24 hours before vanishing. The effects of using the item remain however so any food that was eaten is still digested, damage caused by created weapons still must be healed, and items bought with the money still exist, and so on.
Source: Past Lives
Call Earth Spirit
Rank 3 Croatian Gift
This Gift is another of those that draws on the ancient alliance with Turtle, summoning an earth-spirit to rampage forth and crush things or people at the werewolf's bidding. The Garou must have some earth at hand to invoke the earth-spirit, although a handful of earth or a smallish rock will suffice. This Gift is taught by an earth elemental.
System: The player spends one Gnosis and rolls Manipulation + Occult, difficulty 8. On a success the spirit is summoned and cuts a path of destruction in a straight line for up to 30 yards, inflicting 10 dice of lethal damage to anything in its path. Botching the summoning calls forth an earth-spirit that is hostile to its summoner.

Cairbre's Tongue
Rank 3 Fianna Gift
Camp: Songkeeper
This Gift was used by the ancient songmaster Galliard Cairbre to show his people the corruption of Breas the Beautiful. By speaking out harshly against or satirize someone who is Wyrm-tainted, the possessor of this Gift will cause the Wyrm-taint to appear as splotches on his target's face, lowering the target's Appearance. This Gift is taught by faeries and Fianna ancestor spirits.
System: The Garou using this Gift must spend a Gnosis point, then roll Manipulation + Performance against a difficulty of the opponent's Willpower. If the roll succeeds, and the target is Wyrm-tainted, then she loses a point of Appearance for every success as incriminating blotches spread across her face and body. These marks last for a scene. If the roll fails, or the target is not Wyrm corrupted, nothing happens.
Source: Fianna Tribebook
Ley Lines
Rank 3 Fianna Gift
By manipulating ley lines — part of an energy web that crisscrosses the planet — the Fianna can disorient would-be trackers or hunters. The victims of this Gift find themselves following false trails, making wrong turns or walking in circles. The user's trail simply disappears! The secrets of this Gift can be learned from an earth-spirit.
System: After spending a Gnosis point, the player rolls Wits + Occult (difficulty 7). Any attempt to track the Garou must follow a successful Perception + Occult roll (difficulty 8). This roll must exceed the Gift user's successes before any tracking can take place.
Source: Player's Guide Second Edition.
Pin the Eagle's Wing
Rank 3 Fianna Gift
Known as Lleu's Spear by the Welsh Fianna (who claim to have discovered it), a Fianna with this Gift can throw a spear as far as an arrow and sink it deep into its target. Spirited Fianna can even pierce heavy doors or strike a foe on a high rooftop — or pierce a Leech's putrid heart. Ancestor-spirits teach this Gift.
System: The Fianna must concentrate on the weapon for one full turn and make a Willpower roll (difficulty 8). She then spends a variable number of Gnosis points. Each Gnosis grants two additional dice, which can be split between the attack roll and damage roll. Dice may also be used to increase the spear's flight distance (20 yards per die allocated). The Gift doesn't work with any other weapon, even a thrust spear — only a thrown spear.
Source: Fianna Tribebook (revised)
Rank 3 Fianna Gift
The ancient Celts would paint their skin with woad — the components of which caused a frenzy-like state — before marching off to battle. The Fianna carry on this tradition and take it even further. After painting the woad on their bodies, they can bring the paintings to life to harry an opponent. A stag-spirit can teach this Gift.
System: Each painting can create one woadling that costs one Gnosis point to animate. The Fianna can release only one woadling per turn. Each time the player creates a woadling, she should roll Dexterity + Occult (difficulty 6). Every success subtracts one die from her opponent's pool as the woadling dances and prances about the target. The woadlings vanish (and must be repainted) after the Gift ends.
Source: Player's Guide Second Edition.
Faerie Kin
Rank 3 Fianna Gift
The Fianna can call upon ancient pacts between her people and the fae. By emitting a special howl, the Garou can call whatever fae are in the area to help. They will obey the Fianna, but not without question. A dream-spirit teaches this Gift, and the teaching normally involves a quest of some kind.
System: The player spends at least one Gnosis point and rolls Manipulation + Occult (difficulty 8). Spending more Gnosis increases the raw power of the faeries who respond, while more successes on the roll means that more faeries answer. Note that this Gift may summon changelings or dream-spirits called chimera, but it will call true fae only in strange Umbral reaches, and even then very rarely. Bothcing this roll is bad news; the faeries who respond are vicious and malevolent, and they will act to hinder the Garou.
Source: Core book revised.
View the Battlefield
Rank 3 Galliard Gift
Moon Dancers are renowned for their ability to be everywhere at once during a fight. Some onlookers say that Galliards have a sort of innate sense of where they need to be during a fight, either to witness a blood feud consummated or simply to help an overwhelmed packmate. This Gift is part of the reason for these tales, and allows the Galliard to see the entire battlefield in her mind's eye. A hawk-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The player spends on Gnosis point and rolls Wits + Alertness. The difficulty varies based on the size of the battlefield. One large room would be difficulty 5, while a football field would be difficulty 7 and an entire forest would be difficulty 9. If the roll succeeds, the character can see the entire battlefield as if from above (and can look through ceilings and the like to view the combatants below). This makes ambushing the character nearly imp9ossible, and allows her to know if any of her allies are in immediate danger. Even if the character's sight is somehow blocked (through the use of the Gift: Shroud, for example) she still instinctively knows the exact location of her packmates. This Gift lasts for one turn per success on the initial roll.
Source: Book of Auspices
Song of Heroes
Rank 3 Galliard Gift
Reciting a tale of ancient Garou heroism, the Galliard conjures up the spirit of fallen heroes and infuses those listening with some portion of their power. An ancestor-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: This Gift requires the full recitation of a story of epic heroism, taking at least several minutes. At the end of the tale, the player spends two Gnosis points and rolls Charisma + Performance (difficulty 8). Every two successes on this roll add one point to a single Ability score for all listening Garou and Kinfolk, much like the Ancestors Background (see p. 136). This bonus lasts until the sun rises.

We expect Dollar General Corporation (DG - Analyst Report), a discount retailer, to beat expectations when it reports second-quarter fiscal 2013 results on Sep 4, 2013.
Why a Likely Positive Surprise?
Our proven model shows that Dollar General is likely to beat earnings because it has the right combination of two key components.
Positive Zacks ESP: Dollar General currently has an Earnings ESP (Read: Zacks Earnings ESP: A Better Method) of +1.35%. This is because the Most Accurate Estimate stands at 75 cents, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at 74 cents.
Zacks Rank #2 (Buy): Note that stocks with a Zacks Ranks of #1, #2 and #3 have a significantly higher chance of beating earnings estimates. The sell-rated stocks (Zacks Rank #4 and #5) should never be considered going into an earnings announcement.
The combination of Dollar General's Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and +1.35% ESP makes us very confident regarding a positive earnings beat on Sep 4.
What is Driving the Better-than-Expected Earnings?
Dollar General's merchandising initiatives, including addition of private-label brands; remodeling endeavors; expansion of the selling area; and share buyback program make us confident on the stock outperformance in the second quarter. The positive trend is seen in the trailing four-quarter average surprise of 4.8%.
Stocks that Warrant a Look
Here are some other companies you may want to consider as our model shows they have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter:
The Buckle, Inc. (BKE - Snapshot Report), Earnings ESP of +2.20% and a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Zumiez, Inc. (ZUMZ - Analyst Report), Earnings ESP of +5.88% and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Dollar Tree, Inc. (DLTR - Snapshot Report), Earnings ESP of +1.70% and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Oaks does not give scholarships only financial aid. They claim not to recruit but by some miracle they happen to get the best athletes. Must be manna from heaven. This is a school for the rich and exceptional athletes. I have no problem with this but the school needs to be honest. At my school the student with the 4.0 GPA was rejected but the children of the famous were accepted with "C" averages. If only Oaks practiced what it preaches.
This is a great school of you don't care about academics. Have you ever met anyone who says they want to go to Oaks because of the academics? Not me. Check their test scores. Yes,their graduates get into prestigious colleges but check to see if their families are legacies of financial contributers.
On the positive side I know many Christians who believe this is the best path for their children. They attend for true Christian principles. I hope they are not disappointed.

DN! In Depth
By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan
The holiday season is upon us. Sadly, the big retailers are Scrooges when it comes to paying their staffs. Undergirding the sale prices is an army of workers earning the minimum wage or a fraction above it, living check to check on their meager pay and benefits. The dark secret that the retail giants like Wal-Mart don't want you to know is that many of these workers subsist below the poverty line, and rely on programs like food stamps and Medicaid just to get by. This holiday season, though, low-wage workers from Wal-Mart to fast-food restaurants are standing up and fighting back.

Girl Waiting on a Grey Beach
By Jamie Sims Coakley
The tips of my fingers were numb from the icy ocean wind and my shoes continued to sink deeper and deeper into the sand despite their wide heels for which I had chosen them. My left eye began twitching from the hours now I had been peering intently towards the grey horizon. My stomach growled beneath my layers and my heart jumped with each new darkness I spied in the distance. Watching, almost without breath, until it took shape and proved itself to be a ruse.
My mind would wander to his hands cupping my face on that last meeting so many months ago, to the light on his face and in his eyes as he confessed to me all that burdened his heart, and then a seabird would call out and my mind would stir, raising the looking glass again to my eye. It went this way until my arms ached and my clothes were wet from the constant damp sea breeze. I could feel the salt collecting on those few instances of bare skin and when I licked my lips they too were cold and salty.
I died that day on that beach. Heels buried in the sand, hands frozen, shoulders cramped. I never did return from those moments when I still believed I would kiss his lips again, and hold the strength of his hands, and lose myself in the light of God in his eyes. But this life and the sea dashed upon me and ravaged me and the devil's succubus drew the last bits of life from my lips and left me empty as a shell to wander the rest of my days in a memory. That dream of love I could never touch again.
Helen Frankenthaler - 1968
From 2000-2008 I helped write, record and sang lead and back up vocals on four full length rock and roll albums with my band WAXAPPLES. Along with being featured guests and in rotation at LA's famed Indie 103.1fm, WAXAPPLES were also blessed to share the stage with music legends X, The Violent Femmes, The B52's and Social Distortion.
My primary philosophy in life is this: be committed to not making decisions based on fear, love fully each day, and stay positive...miracles happen all the time!
IntersectingLA is my latest inspiration, born out of a love for Los Angeles, and the wonder for how, a big city is a million different cities depending on which intersection you happen to find yourself at.
It turned into a mixed media project which was completed in August of 2013 and now intersecting(LA) has begun the process of evolving into a never ending art project based on exploring Los Angeles and it's people.

It seems the Water Cooler is taking criticism for a recent post regarding Safe School's czar Kevin Jennings 1998 essay in the Advocate magazine, but what about the 1998 essay itself? A conservative response from gaypatriot.net provides an interesting point of view missing from the debate. Here is an excerpt of a post from Alvin McEwen at the LGBT blog Pam's House Blend, which said the following of the conservative response to the 1998 Jennings essay:
Apparently my post on the new lie regarding Kevin Jennings - that he advocates murdering people if they call someone a 'faggot' attracted some attention from a few circles- most specifically from the site who wrote the original piece.
The piece came from the site Verum Serum. Via the original headline, it pushed the notion that Jennings did advocate murder. Jennings was actually saying that society is part the blame for school violence because it enhances gender stereotypes and extreme machismo in males.
After I posted my piece, one of the authors of the site accused me of not reading the entire post. The poster claimed the site was not accusing Jennings of murder, but rather unfairly blaming traditional gender roles for school violence. While I lodged disagreement with that assessment, I stuck with the main idea of my post - no matter what Verum Serum meant by what it wrote, opportunistic sites were using the post to claim that Jennings advocates murder.
Gaypatriot.net, however, sees the circumstances of Mr. Jennings 1998 essay differently than PHB. In a blog post titled, Does Kevin Jennings Believe Sonny Corleone Embodies Western Ideal of Masculinity?, writer B. Daniel Blatt says the following:
You see, Jennings seems to believe that an adolescent older brother was capable of "passing down the code of masculinity he'd been taught"
We need to own up to the fact that our culture teaches boys that being "a man" is the most important thing in life, even if you have to kill someone to prove it. Killing someone who calls you a faggot is not aberrant behavior but merely the most extreme expression of a belief that is beaten (sometimes literally) into boys at an early age in this country: Be a man—don't be a faggot.
No, Kevin, it's not. When you think it's not "aberrant behavior" to kill someone who calls you names, you miss the whole point of Western masculinity. The lesson which the Greek heroes needed learn (many of whom through the actions and words of the goddess Athena) is not to react with disproportionate force, but to react in just measure. At the outset the Iliad, Achilles, filled with youthful braggadocio (likely similar to that of Jennings's brother) draws his sword to strike Agamemnon dead in outrage at the disrespect the Mycenaen King showed him. But, the owl-eyed goddess sweeps down from the heavens in order to restrain him.
To become a man and realize his destiny, a hero must learn to restrain his battle fury, channeling it into just causes. And that is the essence of Western masculinity. A frenzied reaction (like that of Achilles before Athena's intervention is the antithesis of the Western ideal.)
Perhaps, we should not fault Jennings for his ignorance. Bereft of myth, as all too many of us have been since the educational reforms of the 1960s and 1970s, we have, in large measure, lost sight of the Western ideal of masculinity, aggresssive action tempered by concern for its consequences. And the answer to that loss is not more politically correct mumbo jumbo, but a restoration of the classics to the proper place in school curricula.

Charlotte Brontë's literary masterpiece, Jane Eyre chronicles the life of a strong, passionate young woman who survives a miserable childhood to become governess to the children of the troubled Mr Rochester. Her position soon leads her to love and admiration and eventually marriage but with scandalous consequences.
Jane Eyre remains one of Brontë's most popular novels, not only because it is about love but also because it examines issues such as human rights and self-realisation under the most testing of circumstances. This superb BBC dramatisation faithfully relates the original story with immaculate period recreations and brilliant characterisations that have made Jane Eyre one of the greatest romances in literature.

Wow the Islanders Suck. Bruins Win.
If you're an Islanders fan, we don't understand how you can go pay to see this team. This isn't the usually harassment we give a team. The Bruins didn't necessarily play a good game. Not bad either. But the Islanders looked like they weren't even trying for like 90% of the game. Three Islanders players would surround one Bruins player... and then just kind of look at him and not do anything.
We knew the Islanders were bad, but we hadn't really watched any of their games this season. But come on. I guess it all stems down from the top. When your management doesn't really seem to care and you play in the worst arena in the league, maybe you just don't feel like playing. But we can definitely understand why Islanders fans are so pissed. If you know an Islanders fan, give them a hug. Seriously. And maybe a pizza. Or a puppy. But definitely a hug.
This is not a photoshop. Jebus.
Is this what they have to do to get fans to go to games? Damn.
After the jump... special teams thrive, DiPietro shouldn't roam, and Lucic loves empty nets......

Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change.
Bertrand Russell
Hope is itself a species of happiness and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords.
Samuel Johnson
Look well to this day. Yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day.
Francis Gray
I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
Og Mandino
Be a good human being, a warm-hearted affectionate person. That is my fundamental belief. Having a sense of caring, a feeling of compassion will bring happiness of peace of mind to oneself and automatically create a positive atmosphere.
Dalai Lama
Hope is itself a species of happiness and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords.
Samuel Johnson
Happiness is an endowment and not an acquisition. It depends more upon temperament and disposition than environment.
John J. Ingalls
Even the happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
Carl Jung 1875
Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or other. If we cultivate the habit of doing the service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make, not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large.
Mahatma Gandhi 1869
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth.
George Bernard Shaw 1856
Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart! Else it may be their miserable fortune, when some mightier touch than their own may have awakened all her sensibilities, to be reproached even for the calm content, the marble image of happiness, which they will have imposed upon her as the warm reality.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little, soon-forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heart-felt compliment, and the countless infinitesimals of pleasurable and genial feeling
Samuel Taylor
Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which, if you sit down quietyly, may alight upon you.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.
Benjamin Disraeli 1804
... the greatest part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.
Martha Washington 1731
Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And omorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day! Such is the salutation of the dawn.
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Helen Keller 1880
Look to this day� In it lies all the realities and verities of existence, the bliss of growth, the splendor of action, the glory of power. For yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision. But today, well-lived, makes every yesteday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Sanskrit Proverb
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
Aristotle 384BC
Real, constructive mental power lies in the creative thought that shapes your destiny, and your hour-by-hour mental counduct produces power for change in your life. Develop a train of thought on which to ride. The nobility of your life as well as your happiness depends upon the direction in which that train of thought is going.
Laurence J. Peter

The American Red Cross is changing is relocating its regular blood donation center in New Castle.
With the new location, blood collections in New Castle also will take place on a new day.
The site will now be at the First Presbyterian Church, 125 N. Jefferson St., starting Oct. 10.
The donation site has been at Trinity Episcopal Church at the corner of Falls and Mill streets.
Starting next week, the collections will be conducted on the second and fourth Wednesdays each month.
In the past, they have been on Tuesdays.
The site's hours of operation will be noon to 6 p.m.
According to Marianne Spampinato, communications manager, Greater Alleghenies Region of the American Red Cross, the First Presbyterian Church site is more centrally located for area residents and offers improved parking for donors, volunteers and Red Cross staff than the Trinity Episcopal Church site.
"We are grateful to the staff and membership of Trinity Episcopal Church for their generous sponsorship of our New Castle donor center for many years," Spampinato said. "We are continually looking at how we can improve blood donation convenience and access and believe this change will be a good one for donors."
She added that to help welcome donors to the First Presbyterian Church site, presenting donors will receive a Red Cross T-shirt on Oct. 10 and 24, while supplies last.
Donation appointments are encouraged, and individuals may schedule online at www.redcrossblood.org or by calling (800) 733-2767.
Anyone who is 17 years old (or 16 with parental permission), weighs at least 110 pounds based on height, and is in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. Individuals should take their Red Cross blood donor cards or other form of ID when they donate.
Those with specific eligibility questions may call the Red Cross donor client support center at (866) 236-3276.
Many donors are eligible to give blood every 56 days.
The Greater Alleghenies Region directly serves hospitals, patients and donors in a 100-county area in Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, with more than five-dozen blood products and related services. It also supports blood needs experienced by patients elsewhere in hospitals served through Red Cross Blood Services.
