Breaking the Wheel – Hardhome Recap (Part I)

Because “Hardhome” (Ep. 7, Season 5) is nearly twenty minutes longer than most episodes, I’m publishing this recap in two parts. (The second part is dedicated specifically to the events at the Hardhome settlement.)

In this episode, we see how dark both Stark sisters have become as a result of the horrors of the War of Five Kings. Arya’s character arc has been on a dark, downward spiral for quite some time. Her nightly prayers focus on killing the people on her list. She has now joined the Faceless Men of Braavos to train as an assassin. Today’s Arya is a far cry from the mischievous girl who threw food at her sister years ago in Winterfell. This is direct result of the horrors Arya has experienced during the War of Five Kings.

Likewise, tonight, we get definitive proof of how much the War of Five Kings has changed Sansa. She has gone from the kind, sweet and naive girl who dreamed of being queen and was nearly always kind to a woman who relishes Theon’s suffering. She shows no remorse about her desire for revenge – and why should she? Still, today’s Sansa is much darker than she was five years ago.

We also get to see Tyrion and Dany’s delightful first encounter, which is full of lots of sharp witty dialog. These two characters have great chemistry. And, of course, for anyone who believes the spoiler-ish fan theory about Tyrion, this scene is interesting for other reasons.

Perhaps, apart from the superb battle at Hardhome, the best part of this episode is the big reveal of Dany’s intentions: she is a revolutionary who wants to change the social system. And, in this sense, she is truly an amazing character.

Daenerys is the avenging voice of all the queens and noble princesses sold and enslaved into arranged diplomatic marriages. She is the heroine the peasants People in the real world should have had for centuries. She is the anodyne to the failed 1358 rebellion of French peasants, the Jacquerie. She’s the regent the betrayed English deserved in Peasant’s Revolt. And, she’s the liberator that millennia of war-enslaved peoples deserved but never got. (It’s no coincidence that Dany is located in hot and dusty lands like Slaver’s Bay that evoke places like Ancient Egypt.)

Meereen: Breaking the Wheel

Tyrion pleads his case before Dany in characteristic Tyrion humility. (c) HBO.

The episode opens with Jorah and Tyrion pleading their case before Daenerys. Dany silences Jorah and won’t even let him speak. Tyrion tells Dany not to kill him for revenge since he is already the “greatest Lannister killer of our time.” Dany questions whether a man killing his own family would give him the loyalty she needs in an advisor. Tyrion haughtily replies that Dany should be honored by his counsel, but he needs to decide whether he will work for her.

Tyrion implores her that she needs somebody at her side who understands the land she wants to conquer – and its noble houses. He has already been (effectively) the ruler of this land. Who better than him?

Tyrion tells her that he wants to see if she lives up to her legend. He says that as a young man, he heard of:

“a baby born in the worst storm in living memory. She had no wealth, no lands, no army, only a name and a handful of supporters who probably thought they could use that name to benefit themselves. They kept her alive moving her from place to place, often hours ahead of the men sent to kill her. She was eventually sold off to a warlord on the edge of the world and that appeared to be that. And, then a few years later… this girl without wealth, lands, or armies had suddenly acquired all three.”

Henry VII took the dragon as his symbol.

All of this reminds me of none other than Henry VII of England, who spent much of his early life on the run, and was born to Margaret Beaufort during a harsh winter snowstorm in a wind-swept tower at Pembroke Castle. (See this article where we compare Daenerys and Henry VII.)

To test the Imp’s skill at providing advice, Daenerys asks Tyrion to advise her on what to do with Jorah. She swore she would kill him if he ever returned to Meereen. Will her subjects trust her word if she doesn’t follow through on her promises?

Tyrion states that Jorah is obviously a loyal and devoted servant – and possibly in love with Dany. Tyrion notes that Dany does not want to gain a reputation for killing trusted followers. With his advice in mind, Dany decides to expel Jorah from the city.

Jorah leaves the city with only the clothes on his back and whatever coin was in his pocket. How will he survive in this hot, harsh world? Jorah heads to the fighting pit where he first fought for Daenerys. He meets the slaver who bought him there – and whom he hit in his bid to impress Dany – and offers to re-indenture himself in exchange for the chance to fight in front of Dany again. After the fight, the slaver can sell Jorah to whomever he pleases.

The characters of Daenerys and Tyrion have fantastic platonic chemistry in this scene. (c) HBO.

Meanwhile, Tyrion and Dany have retired to her chamber, where they drink and discuss what Dany should do with Tyrion. Should she chop off his head? Dany and Tyrion are, in Tyrion’s words, “two terrible children of two terrible fathers.” As they discuss their father’s misdeeds, Dany acknowledges that her father deserved his name. (And, yet, she still feels entitled to the Iron Throne. Funny how that works.)

Tyrion wants the chance to try to build a better world. Dany may be the right kind of “terrible” person, one who is terrible enough that she “prevents her people [IMO, read “nobles” here] from becoming even more terrible.” Dany is surprised to learn that Varys — the Baratheon spymaster who paid Jorah for intel about her — may be the reason she is still alive.

Dany decides to accept Tyrion as an advisor. Tyrion tries to dissuade her from chasing the Iron Throne.

“I fought so that now child born into Slaver’s Bay would know what it meant to be bought or sold.” While she will continue that fight, she wants to go home. While she has no noble support, she believes the common people will support her.

Dany has no supporters in Westeros, except maybe the Tyrells. And, how easy has it been so far ruling without the support of the rich? Dany’s reply…

DANY: “Lannister, Targaryen, Baratheon, Stark, Tyrell – they’re all just spokes in a wheel. This one’s on top and then that one’s on top. And on and on it spins, crushing those on the ground.”

TYRION: “It’s a beautiful dream, stopping the wheel. You’re not the first person who’s ever dreamt it.”

DANY: “I’m not going to stop the wheel. I’m going to break the wheel1 .”

What’s interesting about this exchange is that not only is it about our dream today of giving the common people some justice, it is also a reference to the ups and downs of the medieval wheel of fortune, Rotuna Fortuna.

In this version of the medieval Fortune’s Wheel, the nobles on the bottom desperately try to hold on to their place on the wheel. (Image: Harley MS 4431.)

Matthew Blair wrote about Fortune’s Wheel on this site last week, and it played a critical part in the medieval mentality. The ups and downs many Game of Thrones / ASOIAF characters experience  echo the changes of fortune medieval people believed could easily come to pass.

Bored Arya Gets an Opportunity

After waiting for eons, Arya finally gets a chance to do more than clean the bodies of the dead. She is to go undercover, disguised as an orphan girl named Lana who flogs oysters, clams, and cockles by the docks. Her legend even includes a backstory and a route. “Lana” saved up enough money to first sell oysters at eight and then eventually buy a cart. Jaqen H’gar makes Lana rehearse her story. When she makes a mistake, he hits her.

The story – and time – of the narrative flips between Lana’s rehearsal with Jaqen and the time she spends posing as Lana at Ragman’s Harbor.

“Lana” sells oysters at Ragman’s Harbor in Braavos.

After Lana reports back, Jaqen gives “Lana” her first assignment – kill a treacherous insurance-type man, a “gambler,” a thin man who refuses to pay out claims. (The insurance is actually a bet as to whether a ship will reach its destination.)

Jaqen and the Waif (Faye Marsay) argue about whether Arya is ready for such an assignment. Jaqen shrugs. If she isn’t ready, the Many-Faced God will get a new gift. (So much for this avuncular man having Arya’s back.)

King’s Landing: Cersei’s Comeuppance

Cersei in her dirty shift awaits trial in her cell at the Great Sept — on the verge of dying from thirst. (c) HBO.

Cersei squats pitifully in her dirty shift on her cell’s stone floor. The stern septa continues to push her to confess, sometimes striking Cersei.

Qyburn, the creepy ex-maester, visits her with bad news: nobody will be coming to help her anytime soon. There’s no word from Jaime. Tommen is too distraught to eat or leave his room. (Frankly, I smell a rat there: another prince in the Tower?). Cersei desperately wants her son to visit her – no doubt so she can play puppet master and try to get him to follow some strategy to free her, but also because she sincerely misses him. Possibly worst of all, Cersei’s uncle Kevan — who left the small council in a huff after she dissed him by not telling him the nature of Jaime’s secret “diplomatic” mission – is now acting as Hand and refuses to visit her. Doesn’t sound like Kevan will be helping Cersei anytime soon.

Qyburn urges Cersei to confess and end her suffering. She scorns the idea. Kneel before a barefooted commoner whom she raised up from nothing and ask his forgiveness? Never. (As an aside, Qyburn continues his “work,” presumably this means on the “Franken-monster” thing he is building from dwarf’s heads on the slab in his laboratory.)

After Qyburn leaves, the septa brings Cersei water and orders her to confess. Cersei tries to tempt the septa with wealth and position and then scare her with death threats. Neither moves her.  When Cersei refuses to confess, the septa dumps the ladle full of water onto the floor and leaves. The last we see of Cersei she is desperately slurping water off the dirty stone floor.

Sansa Learns Some Important Intel

Sansa’s conversation with Theon is a game changer for her. (c) HBO.

So far, Ramsay has been keeping Sansa in the dark about the fate of Bran and Rickon. He knows they are alive, but it isn’t in his best interest for anyone – including the potentially loyal-to-her-brothers Sansa – to know they are still alive.

(And, in this sense, Ramsay and Sansa reenact what may have been a potentially tense conflict between Henry VII and Elizabeth of York: what if Perkin Warbeck was really Elizabeth of York’s brother? See our article here. If one or both of the princes in the tower survived, whose claim would Elizabeth of York support?)

Sansa is furious after Theon ratted Sana’s escape plan out to Ramsay, which led the former bastard flayed her elderly servant. She corners Theon when he delivers her food. Why did he tell Ramsay?!

Quaking with fear, Theon explains that he told Ramsay to protect Sansa and then tells her of the horrible consequences when he, Theon, tried to escape.

“Good,” Sansa replies. “If it weren’t for you, I’d still have a family.” This reveals the war’s toll on Sansa. Like her sister, she’s become dark – and, perhaps, inevitably so. Sansa tells Theon that she would do the same – flay and mutilate Theon – to him if she had the chance.

As Sansa berates Theon for her brothers’ death and screams why did Theon do this – the boys were like his brothers – Theon confesses that he didn’t kill them. Bran and Rickon are alive. He burned imposters. (See our article here on the similarity between this act and the theories about the Lost princes in the Tower.)

Hearing her brothers are alive, Sansa is breathless and astonished. This is the first drop of hope she has received in months. Whether she knows it or not, this could be a game-changer for her – especially when combined with what she learned from Ramsay last week: her half-brother Jon is still alive. She has family in this world. Maybe somebody will rescue her. Maybe she will be reunited with people who love her one day.

    Personally I seriously doubt the possibility that Tyrion’s a Targaryen bastard, in the books anyway. Tywin might have preferred the idea, but he’d have probably had Tyrion killed fast.

      ==possible spoilers===

      Hey Grant,

      I have a wacky theory that I put on my (lol) very pathetic forum that Cersei and Jaime — and not Tyrion — are Targaryen bastards. I was rereading A Feast for Crows and part of A Dance with Dragons before the season began and I noticed some text and wordings that made me wonder. In particular, there’s a scene with Gemma Lannister and Jaime where Gemma makes all of these comments that could have double meanings. I may be reading between the lines too much, but I think Tyrion could be a red herring and the twist could be that Jaime and Cersei are the Targaryen bastards. Watcher noticed that Cersei is fixated with the flames when she burns down the Hand’s tower in the books.

      • Reply June 3, 2015

        Tyrion is a theoretical possibility (having been born in 273 and Joanna visited King’s Landing in 272*), but from The World of Ice and Fire the timing doesn’t match for Jaime and Cersei. The event where Aerys took liberties was at Joanna’s marriage in 263, Jaime and Cersei were born in 266, by which point Aerys was at King’s Landing and trying to have children (plus he ordered that Joanna and the children should travel to King’s Landing as soon as the children were old enough specifically because it had been so long since he had seen her).

        So unless Martin’s really forgot the details, they’re Lannisters for better or worse.

        *But like I said, if Tywin really believed that Tyrion was Aerys’ bastard child by Joanna, he wouldn’t have let Tyrion live, and if would have been laughably easy to arrange for some ‘accident’ for the baby.

      • Reply June 3, 2015

        Chas D.

        In The World of Ice and Fire, Martin makes it clear that Joanna was nowhere near Aerys during the conception of the twins (after her marriage she didn’t return to King’s Landing until many years later, after the twins were born). They are all Lannister–for good or ill. Any similarities with Targaryen siblings thus comes down to acculturation (in world) and the fact that Martin is writing both (out world).

        When she did return to King’s Landing was approximately a year before Tyrion’s birth. Which still makes Tyrion’s potential Targaryen blood a possibility, but much more slight. For the large part Lady Joanna lived apart from Tywin it seems. Her in charge of Casterly Rock and Tywin as Hand in King’s Landing. No doubt that plays into why Cersei thinks she should get the Rock before Tyrion, as she recalls her mother running the Rock in her youth no doubt.

          The section about King Aerys’ rule in The World of Ice & Fire leaves some wiggle room (IMO). But, it is unlikely (like you say); however, IMO it’s not impossible.

          Martin includes a very cryptic (absent/present) type passage in which he tells us that Joanna may have actually been Prince Aerys’ lover and lost her virginity to him before marriage. He gives us this information by having Pycelle say the rumors are nonsense (which of course puts them on the page or in the record).

          In theory, a chronicler like Pycelle would always dismiss scandalous rumors about a queen or (near queen – like a very powerful Hand’s wife) since it would put him at risk. Yet by dismissing the rumors it gives him an opportunity to hint at them. Of course, the simple explanation might be true too: Pycelle might just be dismissing them! 🙂

          The World of Ice & Fire talks about Aerys’ “unwonted attentions” to Joanna’s body. But, what exactly does that mean? Unwonted by whom? Tywin? Joanna? Presumably it means rape or unwanted groping, but it could mean they were inappropriate and unwanted by the groom (Tywin).

          While Joanna was at Casterly Rock and not at court before the twins were born, this doesn’t rule out the possibility that she met up with Aerys – had a rendezvous- if they were lovers. This would have been difficult, of course, but not necessarily impossible. (I’m a bit skeptical though that this could have happened just because of the distance.)

          After the twin’s birth, Aerys commands Tywin to bring the twins and Joanna to court. Aerys claims it has been ages since he has gazed on Joanna’s fair face. (This could easily be a lie.) Tywin curiously doesn’t comply with the request. And, then, quite strangely (IMO), after Tytos dies, Aerys moves to Casterly Rock for six months or so. To me, this is a little messed up. I mean, you are busy ruling a kingdom in the capital and your Hand doesn’t show up to court (odd)/stays at his newly inherited ancestral home (a possible explanation). So you move the capital of the country for a nearly year??? I mean maybe this was because you relied on the Hand’s advice, but this is fishy.

          • June 4, 2015

            Aerys called for Joanna and the children to come to court as soon as the children were old enough to travel, which they did at the age of six. As you mention, that’s a pretty long journey to make with medieval transportation over medieval roads, and not one you’d want to risk a baby on, let alone two babies who are the future of Lannister ambitions.

            It’s also a pretty long journey for a king to just make to try to rendezvous with a secret lover, especially since WOIAF makes it clear that in the 260s he was unsuccessfully trying for an heir. A king moving that much back and forth between King’s Landing and the Westerlands (and Joanna was in charge of Casterly Rock so she wasn’t going to be wandering close to King’s Landing) would inevitably cause a great deal of political disruption and raise suspicions until the affair was an open secret to all.

          Jamie Adair

          Okay, so just to make my theory about Joanna and Aerys meeting up before the twins were born even more unlikely, I checked the distance between King’s Landing and Casterly Rock. I saw roughly 1000 to 3000 miles. I person estimated 40-60 days of travel time.
          I still think that Cersei and Jaime are possibly very Targaryen-esque though… e.g., the incest, Cersei’s fascination with fire when she burned down the Tower of the Hand, Joffrey’s madness…

        • Reply June 4, 2015

          Jamie Adair

          It did occur to me that Joanna may have seen Aerys at Kevan’s wedding. However, I can’t figure out exactly when he got married. It was sometime after 260 AC I think. It might have been a a few years later because what I could find says that Kevan “eventually” marries Dorna Swyft (after he takes her hostage)..Cersei was born in 266 AC.

  • I think that perhaps the most important thing about the Sansa sequences is that they show that the showrunners are not about to do what many people got very upset about them being about to do after episode 6.

    After the rape scene it appeared that there were only two ways out for Sansa, the rape causes Theon to pull himself together and rescue her or it causes Sansa to pull herself together and escape. Both would play to obnoxious tropes of using rape as a character development device for male characters (see ‘coward of the county’) or rape is empowerment.

    But that isn’t the point at all. Sansa goes to Winterfell after Little Finger persuades her that it is the only way that her house can survive. Now she knows that her Stark brothers are alive and that her half brother is commander of the watch. She doesn’t need Little Finger or his schemes any more, that is what gives her agency.

    This is a lot more complicated than people have been willing to expect of the show.

    Another point to consider is that now that Ramsay is married to Sansa and the marriage consummated, Ramsay’s position as Roose’s heir is at risk. He cannot produce an heir as long as Sansa is alive unless he can recapture her. Which is I think likely to cause the end of Fat Walder.

    I’m in a mixed mind about the changes from book to show but I am not going to get judgemental or post book spoilers here. Having said that episode 8 of the current season did draw me in. I hadn’t realised (or had forgotten that Henry VII was born in a snow storm. Dany does need a competent advisor.

    It’s true that the Stark sisters have become darker over the years. I suppose to some extent it is the instinct to survive kicking in – and their late father came to grief because he tried to be decent and give Cersei time to take her children away before he (Ned) told Robert the truth of their parentage. Then he was overtaken by events and we all know how the story played out….

    If Fat Walda’s days are not numbered something might “happen” to cause her to have a miscarriage.

      I really liked this episode. I thought the scene with Tyrion and Dany was really quite good — and of course I loved the Others at Hardhome.
      BTW, I didn’t mean to slag the Stark sisters by saying they’d gotten darker. (I don’t think you interpreted it that way, but I just thought I’d mention that in case anyone thought I was slagging them.) I think it is perfectly fair/normal they have become darker actually. I mean wouldn’t anyone be a little bitter after losing your family in such violent ways? I would be. Esp. like you say after losing your father, who was a decent guy, after he tried to do the right thing.

    @Grant, @Chas D. : Admittedly my Jaime/Cersei theory is pretty shaky in places. However, I did find it interesting to hear Ellaria tell Jaime that “if his name was Targaryen people would accept his affair with his sister” (or something like that). It seemed like that could be another ironic hint.

    • Reply June 8, 2015

      Chas D.

      The exact quote, was if it was 100 years ago AND their names were Targaryen. And even then, the faith tolerated Targaryen incest… they still grumbled about it off in the corner.

      Honestly though that speech was more about trying to be subtle about gay rights (you love who you love) IMO than hinting to this fan theory. Which I didn’t like the hamfisting of the message in there (I don’t have any disagreement with gay marriage, I just find equating it to incest distasteful and an unintentional insult to gay rights on the show’s part).

      • Reply June 9, 2015

        Jamie Adair

        Well, yeah, I’m not saying that they actually could get married… I just thought it was interesting because it lined up with my wacky theory (which probably isn’t true but now I’ve developed a pet liking for). :-s I think Tyrion is far more likely to be Targ if anyone is.

Duck and Fish Farm, West Sumatera

The September 2009 Sumatra earthquake occurred just off the southern coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The major shock hit on September 30, 2009 and had a moment magnitude of 7.6. Government reports have to date confirmed 1,115 dead, 1,214 severely injured and 1,688 slightly injured. In addition, around 135,000 houses were severely damaged,. An estimated 250,000 families (1,250,000 people) have been affected by the earthquake through the total or partial loss of their homes and livelihoods.

Duck Project

In January 2010, Hope 4 Our Children received a mini grant from The QED Family Fund to implement the Duck Project. Hope 4 Our Children proceed with collaborating with Panti Yayasan Wanita Islam Orphanage (YAWI Orphanage) in West Sumatera in implementing the Duck Project.

After September 30, 2009 earthquake in West Sumatera, the living condition in the orphanages at becomes increasingly untenable and demands immediate interventions. Some of the orphans have been evacuated by their family members as most of the rooms were destroyed by the earthquake. Hope 4 Our Children funds a duck project at Panti Yayasan Wanita Islam Orphanage (YAWI Orphanage) for a couple of reasons. (1) to provide egg as source of nutrition for the orphans, (2) to provide livelihood training for the orphans by involving them in the farm maintenance, (3) to help YAWI Orphanage be a self sustained institution.

With the funding, YAWI Orphanage built the farm to place the ducks and bought 100 ducks. The orphanage sets up a schedule for students/orphans to maintain the duck farm. The students/orphans learn that in order to produce eggs, ducks need a good quality diet, protection from the elements and predators, and a clean environment. In addition, ducks need a high quality feed on a regular basis and vitamins. Food should be protected from light and heat, as these can cause rapid breakdown of vitamins that are crucial to ducks health. Insects and rodents carry bacteria and parasites that can make ducks sick, and should not be allowed to come in to contact with ducks’ food. Any food that is moldy, moist, or old should be thrown out and ducks should get plenty of feed daily. These are some of the farm maintenance tips that the students learn as they take turn in cleaning the cage and feeding the ducks.

Fish Farm Project

Hope 4 Our Children also implemented a fish farming project in the same orphanage. The orphanage had a successful fish farming project that helped provided extra income for the institution before the earthquake destroyed the ponds. The purpose of this project is to help the orphanage obtain additional income back from the fish farm that eventually will enable the orphanage to be self sustained institution.

Hope 4 Our Children's Project Coordinator

Hope 4 Our Children hired a consultant to oversee the implementation of the project and to provide expertise to the project. The consultant, Riza Andesca, is a graduate student majoring in Animal Husbandry at Andalas University. He serves as Hope 4 Our Children's Project Coordinator and provides his expertise in building and maintenance of the duck farm. He visits the orphanage once to twice a week to monitor the project implementation phase and to ensure that the project is implemented within the target.

Britain Today,  Cross Post,  Tories

To Embarrass One Conservative Party Leader is Unfortunate…

This is a cross-post from A Rabbit’s Eye-View of the Hyperborean North.

to embarrass the next as well suggests you are a bit of a blabbermouth.

Still, at least no-one would consider mocking the Speaker.

Update – as the comments threads descend into a Swiftian netherworld of reaction which is stalked by walking uteruses intent only on getting pregnant so to receive a council property and benefits, one such comment is taken to task by Larkers:

Normal life gets shattered all the time. Why should any girl get immunity from normal life, just because she dropped her knickers? All the parents around her, who are providing for their own bairns, working, earning, saving, have to cope with all the pitfalls of normal bloody life.

Years of brooding resentment have gone into this. It is a view of human life grown downwards.

This ‘breeding’ remark is pernicious. Frankly I am sorry for Mr Flight who seems to me to be a sad character if truth be told.

Sixty years ago my parents had their seventh and final child. None of us has been in debt, what is now called “recovery”, or in trouble with the police. All own their own homes and live sober lives; excepting three went abroad and speak German; but you must allow for some recklessness. I have cousins who also came from what are historically now large families who likewise live blameless lives.

I have had the privilege in older age to get to know many young people; I have watched a fair number grow up. I can say I met very few who gave me anxieties about their attitudes in the long term. They seemed to me, once one got over the tattoos and face rings and strange coloured hair do’s, decent and civilised young men and women.

I can remember ‘dysfunctional’ families back in the 50s. One set about their own father! On a 1950s Sunday afternoon! In many ways we at least know more about underlying problems and subjects such as distressing child abuse are not today hushed up.

Schools had been instrumental in changing lives but recently find themselves marginalised by bureaucracy at the instigation of the right wing press to the status of little more than crammers. Public housing has been designed by people who don’t use it. The disruption of the cities in the re-building programmes of the 50s and 60s have broken up traditional patterns of occupation. When I raced about the streets people could say “I will tell your Father”. Everyone knew their neighbours; on the ‘new estates’ shared experience is today almost always negative.

It has been seen elsewhere and in remote places, how social transformation comes at a price. Some cannot keep up and the collapse of self esteem and will are not confined by geography. De-industrialisation comes at a human cost. In viewing our industrial past it is forgotten how collective it was; people by our standards hardly seem to have had independent lives at all. ‘Freeing up’ society – even ‘choice’ itself – is a great idea except not everyone wants the responsibility; many don’t know where to begin.

Someone once observed the answer to the problems of industrialisation was not less industrialisation but more. However, the remedy to our socially excluded is not greater exclusion.

Wholehearted Or Holehearted

This coming Wednesday will be three years since Jill left her body. Interestingly, that year (2011) it was the day before Easter which this year is today. I didn’t choose this day to write but felt it come on and grabbed my laptop. I have been feeling my way through life for the last two and a half years since Jillie left. I say two and a half because for the first six months after she left I did everything in my power to not feel anything; drugs, alcohol, distractions, suicide thoughts (butcher knife at my chest trying not to dive on the ground and 100MPH driving with blurred sobbing eyes)…. but nothing took away my suffering. Nothing.

Suffering doesn’t begin to describe where I was at and is a one eighty from where I am now.I once heard that religion is for people who believe in heaven and hell and spirituality is for people who have been to hell. I am definitely spiritual but it wasn’t my choice and is also my greatest blessing. You see, I spent decades on the treadmill of life unfulfilled, scared, and feeling a hole in my heart. I wasn’t happy or whole and kept trying to be by any means possible but didn’t get anywhere except nowhere. Even with the amazing love that Jill and I had (and still have) I still carried all my emotional scars. I was trying to think my way through a process that required feeling. I needed to feel to heal and my fear of feeling all my sadness and pains was so great that I stayed stuck which perpetuated all my sadness and pains. I was stuck in self destructive patterns of everything and anything you can think of and probably the same ones as many of you. Numbing and running from my sadness, insecurities, and pain, getting into and out of “relationships” that not only didn’t serve my heart and spirit but proved that I wasn’t worth loving even though that’s all I wanted. To be loved, seen, and accepted for me; kind, vulnerable, loving, caring, tender, smart, beautiful…. Sound familiar? I wasn’t living wholeheartedly, I was merely existing holeheartedly.

Jill’s exiting her body broke me to my core into shards of horrific horror and isolation. Notice that I say leave her body because we don’t die. We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spirits having a human experience. By allowing myself to stay with my pains and using tools of introspection and non-attachment to my thoughts and feelings I made my way through a self healing process that transformed me to who I am now; peaceful and content. I only wish one thing for me and everyone; peace, love, friendship, and joy. I no longer have fears or worries and rarely get a noisy mind. I heard a yoga teacher refer to it as monkey mind; thoughts bouncing around like apes in the treetops; never resting and never at ease.

My friend Charlie said to me, upon walking away from Jill’s body when I said to stop trying to revive her, that Jill is now in a place of peace and love and joy and why don’t I try to match her at that frequency while I still have a body. Those words embedded in my being for later use because at that point I did not want or know how to keep living. It took a great effort of not doing anything for those words to take full affect. I say not doing because that is exactly what I needed to do, I mean not do, well you know what I mean. I decided that instead of running from my sadness and pain that I would see where it leads. I decided that all my decades of running from my feelings hadn’t gotten me anywhere so I would allow them full expression and see what happens. That meant staying with my discomfort which is a very light, cozy word that we often hear in yoga practices. “Stay with your discomfort and breathe into it and notice your thoughts and how you want to get out of the discomfort.” I wrote about this last summer and how to learn to stay with the bad sad feelings. Here is the link

I have been guiding some people through their own spiritual/emotional transition/crisis/curiosity and tell them what I learned from my intuitive self in processing my hell. Breathe, breathe, breathe. Keep coming back to breath with whatever the feelings are and let them have their full say. Keep breathing and feeling and with the breathing and feeling there is space for healing. With allowing feeling and staying open to whatever might come next I was able to begin to see how my patterns of fear and pain and sadness and lack of self worth….. were all rooted in childhood patterns that were ingrained in me by my parents. They weren’t intentionally ingrained but instead came from my parents who had the same programmed into them by their parents and so on…. all of whom never looked at or resolved their own pains and thus passed them on. Like an emotional herpes that flares up at the slightest signs of stress. An ugly metaphor but spot on. All reactivity as an adult is the same trigger(s) as when you were a child. So in order to not feel the way you do now you need to allow yourself to feel the causes of the feelings. To feel the roots of the pains. The next time you feel the wave of sadness, pain, anxiety, trigger come up see if you can pause and take a breath and feel into what it reminds you of. What does it feel like? Does it remind you of when you were five and mom and dad fought about something, or when you were three and mom was crying and begging dad to not leave or to stop cheating, or when your were seven and you learned to toughen up and stop crying, or when you’re loved one left his/her body and abandoned you.

You can learn to see and not judge what you feel, just notice. By seeing and feeling you’ll begin to have awareness and understand that 1- that is not now, 2- just because it was that way does not mean it has to continue to be that way, 3- who you are is a beautiful heart and spirit who is doing the best you can with the tools you learned as a child, 4- if you can recognize that your button (trigger) is being pushed and take a breath (three is ideal to gain the space to pause) that you don’t have to react anymore to it, and 5- you always have a choice and if your heart is guiding you to do something that your mind is in contradiction to then follow your heart because that is in alignment with what love (spirit, source, god, universe…) knows you need to do. Your holehearted existence can be a wholehearted life if you are willing to do some emotional processing. And repeat this to yourself: Life is not what I experience but how I relate to what I experience.

Wishing you peace, love, friendship, and joy. namaste

Spanish Moss grows on pine trees in the Pacific Northwest too.

Comment by Art Pot on May 11, 2014 at 3:26pm

Noticed Spanish Moss hanging from some of the trees.  According to Wikipedia it can be found in the following areas

" Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) is a flowering plant that grows upon largertrees, commonly the Southern Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) or Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) in the southeastern United States from Texas and Florida north to Missouri and Virginia.  It is also native to much of MexicoBermuda, the Bahamas,Central AmericaSouth America and the West Indies as well as being naturalized inQueensland (Australia) and in French Polynesia."

Now to identify trees and flowers.   That may shed some light as to its origins.

Comment by Art Pot on May 11, 2014 at 3:00pm

It appears nicely done.   I wonder who painted it?

Comment by Laura Pierce on May 11, 2014 at 12:17pm

this isn't G. Harvey's style.....he specialized in western genre

Here is the signature.

I founds this G Harvey - you'll have to compare the signatures

Comment by Laura Pierce on May 11, 2014 at 10:21am

S Cooper, can you post a picture of the signature?  I can't tell if it says Harvey or not?

Comment by Art Pot on May 11, 2014 at 10:10am

Here is one of yesterday's acquisitions.

It is an oil on canvas painting.  It measures 12" X 16" and seems to date from the late 1950's or early 1960's.

Thoughts, ideas or suggestions are welcome.

thanks Kathy....I will try that as well..........

Why Most Parents Can’t Understand Pediatric Radiation Safety Guides

BY: Julie Morse

Pediatric radiation safety guidelines are written at far too difficult reading levels for the average parent to understand, according to a study recently published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Hospital assessed 54 articles on patient safety that were published on websites such as the Society for Pediatric Radiology, RadiologyInfo, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Using the ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) scale, they found [Read More…]

Hoosier Hotshots - a look back at the legend

A score and three years before the opening shots of "60''s indiana band szene" there was "Hoosier Hotshots". Quite frankly one of the most important, and least known, documents of the Indiana 60's musical landscape. Ron Simpson, I salute you!

In a stroke of genius, the album includes 8 pages of band bio (mostly correct too!), and chock full of newspaper ads of when local bands were playing. Teen dance at the "Southlake Roof" and "Dance at the Tippy" are just some of the 8 pages of artifacts.

But the money is always the music. Sadly no bands from south of I70 are represented, but that's ok, as it leaves me some fertile ground to cover.

What about the bands you ask? Here is the line-up:

XL"s - Terre Haute - two great 45's
Cirkit - Michigan City - one 45, and it's a doozy
Shooting Stars - Winchester -  two 45's - love them both!
Ferris Wheel - Winchester - one 45
Sir Winston & the Commons - Indianapolis -  no strangers to our    readers - two 45's -  two acetates and more......
Teen Tones - Muncie - three 45's
Blues Inc - Ft. Wayne - one 45
The Endd - La Porte - four 45's and one of my favorites!
Tikis - Syracuse - one 45
Wild Things - New Castle - one 45 and lots of tapes!
Backdoor Men - Goshen area college guys - line-up changed often - one 45
Dukes - Elkhart - at least two 45's and an acetate
Idle Few - Indianapolis - three 45's
Mere Image - Goshen - one acetate

Pretty stellar stuff, and a couple of 45's that I still don't have. Of course with time and the internet we are able to sleuth a bit more easily than Ron could in the early 80's. I cannot thank him enough for showing what can be done. I still see the LP for sale once in a while, but I don't know if it's in print or someone is booting it.  Maybe I'll share it someday.

And that brings us to the aborted Hoosier hotshots Two..........

Reel Blues - where are you?

 Where o' where are the Reel Blues? The band has been on the radar for years, but I still haven't nailed down where the Reel Blues called home.

The Fabulous Flame Club is in Ft. Wayne, but the two pics come via Knox County, Indiana. Most probably Vincennes since that is where most of the band action centered. The most popular was "The World", as many of the best regional bands, and some bigger bands such as "Strawberry Alarm Clock" would play there.

Here's hoping that someone can identify the place the two pics were taken. Many people contributed pics and info over the years, but most of my handwritten notes prior to 2009 were lost in the flood that washed out the 60's indiana band szene central command. Thankfully, I'm pretty fanatic about digital copies and backups!

As the usual plea goes, any info about the Reel Blues, feel free to chime in!

And Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Tyrone & the Upsetters - Ft. Wayne - Gateway Records

Ok, let's get back in the groove! I've been away for quite a bit, and even contemplated just erasing this whole thing. But what the hell, complainers be damned, full speed ahead.

Tonight we present "Tyrone & the Upsetters" from beautiful
Ft. Wayne. The only names I've ever found associated with the band are:
Don Ganaway
Thomas Brownlee ( I believe he is the second from left in the pic).

The Upsetters released a 45 on Gateway Records, which has Ft. Wayne listed on the label. I'm almost certain Gateway was a label promoted by a department store in the area. The Upsetters check in at #308 and I also have a 45 of the Impostors (sic) at #333. So could there be 33 or more releases on the label, or just some oddball numbering? We may never know........

So the fans are waiting for the tunes, right? Let's hear 'em now!

Running Hot - credited to the Upsetters
That's Not Love - Tyronne & the Upsetters

Tyronne is the spelling on the label, but the promo pic shows Tyrone. I'm just glad I can track it that far. Any other info gladly accepted!

Cavaliers - Greenwood

 From the files of "60's indiana band szene" Central Command, we find the Cavaliers of Greenwood.  I recently found a photo of the Cavaliers while looking thru yearbooks (a great way to find a few band photos!), in this case from Indian Creek High School 1965.

The Cavaliers were together for a few years - the yearbook shows a homecoming dance, so that would be late 1964.  Most probably some frat rock and early Beatles would keep the kids happy on the dance floor.

I can document the Cavaliers playing thru at least March 1967 - that would be from the Whiteland Barn ad. After that.......?

Members included (photo above):

Fred Kinnan - lead guitar
Allen Martin - rhythm guitar
Dick Tyndal - tenor sax

Mike Langford - bass
Gary Scott - drums
and later
Ed Weddle - hammond organ
Roger Craighead replaced Mike on bass
Sam Doolin - trumpet - vocals

 Special thanks to Gary for the band info!

Traveling Internationally for the First Time

Traveling Internationally for the First Time Featured Image

Traveling internationally can be incredibly exciting, especially if it is the first time you are leaving the country. Here are some ways you can be better prepared for your journey.

The First Steps to Traveling Internationally

While planning to travel overseas for the first time can feel exciting, your lack of experience could cause you to feel anxious and unprepared. However, planning ahead can help to ease your mind and make the process feel like it is running more efficiently. If you have not already filed for your passport, this is the first step you need to take. Search for the Passport Acceptance Facility closest to you and bring your original birth certificate and a photo ID with you when you visit. Getting your passport in the mail could take anywhere from four to six weeks, but your passport will last for ten years. It is also a good idea to purchase international travel insurance so that you and your belongings are safe while you are overseas.

Determine If You Need to File for a Visa

This can be a complicated process because countries often change the rules about whether a visa is required or not. Research what rules are in place in the country you plan on visiting, and if you do need to purchase a visa, allow yourself plenty of time to complete the process.

Traveling on a Budget

While it might be more ideal to stay in a hotel while you’re away, a cheaper alternative is to stay in hostels or search for an organized campsite group. If you decide that camping is the best solution, remember to account for rainy weather. Another thing to research ahead of time is what the currency exchange rates are in the country you plan on visiting. While it is not a good idea to carry a large amount of cash with you everywhere you go, it is also not a great situation to have to keep paying fees each time you want to buy a cup of coffee either.

Plan for the Unexpected

If you knew every aspect of your trip beforehand, your journey would be boring. One of the best aspects of traveling to another country is not knowing what to expect. Some of the best memories are made when an unforeseen event happens, so embrace the unexpected with open arms.

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rhino Resource Partners LP (OTCQB: RHNO) (“Rhino” or the “Partnership”) today announced that it has reached agreement to sell certain assets relating to its Pennyrile mining complex (“Pennyrile”) to Alliance Coal, LLC (“Alliance”) for cash and other consideration.  The Partnership expects the transaction to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Rhino has ceased coal production at the Riveredge Mine at Pennyrile and will continue to process the remaining raw coal inventory at the site.  All remaining coal shipments from existing inventory to a current Rhino customer will be completed in September.  Alliance is assuming the substantial majority of all remaining future contracted coal sales related to the Pennyrile complex and plans to fulfill these sales from other Alliance operations.  No future coal production is planned at the Pennyrile complex as a result of this sale.  Alliance has also agreed to purchase the majority of the equipment at Pennyrile as well as the preparation plant, barge loadout facilities and related property.

Notices have been provided to all Pennyrile employees in accordance with the Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act with the last day of employment scheduled for November 1, 2019.  Pennyrile employees are being provided the opportunity to apply for open employment opportunities at other Rhino operations.

Rick Boone, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rhino’s general partner, stated, “The closure and sale of the Pennyrile operations was a very difficult decision as it impacts the entire Pennyrile workforce and their families.  However, the pressures on the American coal industry and the Illinois Basin in particular, have been well documented over the past several years. I want to extend my personal thanks to every Pennyrile employee for their outstanding service while employed at this operation.”

Paul DeBenedetto on the death of the superhero film

Comics (...) don’t need bad superhero action flicks giving them a bad name. The superhero movie is an awful trend and, if 2011 pans out the way I think it will, it’s also a dying one.
He claims there hasn't been a good super-hero movie since 2008 (the year The Dark Knight was released) and sees this as evidence that the genre is soon going to be extinct. Movie audiences won't have the patience to put up with crappy super-hero movies for much longer, and once they lose interest, that only leaves the fans of the comics. And there simply aren't enough of us to make those movies profitable.

The argument seems to make sense, but I'm not sure the death of the super-hero movie is upon us just yet. For one thing, crappy movies make a shit-ton of money at the box office all the time. This is pretty much the norm at Hollywood. I haven't really studied the box office returns of super-hero movies in the past two or three years, so I don't know how well they've been doing, but in any case I think we ought to wait and see how Thor, Captain America and Green Lantern fair in 2011 before passing judgement.

In other words, this will probably be a crucial year for the future of super-hero movies, as the success or failure of these three big blockbusters will determine what happens next.

Graeme McMillan on IDW's Infestation crossover event
There are all manner of reasons why IDW’s Infestation shouldn’t work for me. For one thing, it’s all about zombies, and I really don’t like zombies with the obvious exceptions. For another, it’s a crossover. So why am I eagerly anticipating the whole thing, having read the first issue?
I was definitely planning on skipping this whole thing, because (a) this seems a bit derivative of recent big events at Marvel and DC, (b) I'm getting kind of sick of zombies, and (c) I don't follow any of the franchises involved (Transformers, Ghostbusters, Star Trek and GI Joe). But this is the second positive review of the first issue of the mini-series that I read, and I have to admit that my curiosity has been piqued a little.

Ryan Fisher on comic books aimed at women
I don’t even understand the whole notion that companies need to pander to the female demographic at all. They don’t need “special books” to get into the hobby, they just need to feel like it’s not a boys club.
Yes. This is the same argument that I keep reading from female bloggers as well. Kelly Thompson, in particular, has often said that only a small adjustment would be needed in order to make DC and Marvel's comics more appealing to women. You don't need to completely change the formula or make books specifically for women. Just, you know, make a little effort not to piss them off by treating them like second-rate customers.

(And speaking of Kelly Thompson, there's a new episode of 3 Chicks Review Comics.)

From some official DC document
...the now-retired Wally West...

Brian Wood on Northlanders
This is the book I increasingly feel I was born to write, and is so completely tied into my identity as a creator. And based solely on the incredible range and diversity of the artists we’ve had on the series, there is nothing else like it out there.
I'm so glad that this book exists and that I've started following it. (I need to catch up on the trades, as well.) I agree completely that it is completely unlike anything else.

David Hine, asked how many Muslim characters there are in super-hero comics
Probably not as many as there should be. I mean, America is a very diverse culture, as is France, as is this country, and we try to reflect that in the diversity of our characters. It’s not a political statement.
I was glad to read David Hine's clear-headed responses to some of the truly outrageous and idiotic criticism his "Muslim Batman" story has elicited.

Curt Purcell on the link between violent rhetoric and violent actions
When I was very young, on a family vacation to visit Grandma Millie (in Arizona, as it happens), we went to a rodeo. I had no interest whatsoever in a rodeo, and amused myself during the bull-riding part by cheering for the bull to get someone. I'm sure you can guess where this is going--the bull did get someone. He trampled a clown. Now, obviously, there was no "link" between my "rhetoric" and what happened. Nobody blamed me. I didn't think saying it aloud magically made it happen, or blame myself in any other way. But here's the thing: there didn't need to be any such "link" for me to feel ashamed--appropriately--for my foolish words. It was enough for me to see what it looked like when what I'd been cheering for actually happened.
That's a powerful analogy and it perfectly illustrates my own feelings about the issue in a way that I haven't seen expressed quite so succinctly or convincingly anywhere else in the deluge of internet commentary since the terrible tragedy in Arizona.

If Thieves Steal Stuff, What Does Stuff Steal?

(6 minute read)

She lives alone. It is a matchless place of exceptional ocean views. The playground of the dolphins and manatee should be full of pleasure; rather it is full of treasure. That is what she calls her possessions.

She is forlorn, restless, and disconnected from reality. Clothes she does not wear consume her bed in towering piles. She sleeps on the couch. A lone visitor sits on a small stool to eat for there is no room to take a seat at the table together. She dare not invite others, for there is great shame in the state of her home.

Her stuff is her obsession. Afraid she doesn’t have enough. Afraid she will lose what she has. Afraid someone will steal it from her. Unaware the thief has her surrounded.

We all know someone like her. Sometimes we even see her in the mirror.

No one wants their stuff stolen. This is natural and understood. We have alarm systems installed to protect our stuff. We buy insurance to replace our damaged, lost, or stolen stuff.

We go to great lengths to be sure our stuff isn’t robbed. Yet, have you ever considered what your stuff could be stealing from you on a daily basis?

If we aren’t careful stuff can steal our:

1. Peace of mind. Have you ever lost sleep worrying about your mortgage? How about how you were going to pay for the furniture you bought on credit? Have you ever wished you had bought the used car you had cash for instead of financing a new one? Maybe you are getting older and starting to wonder what you are going to do with your stuff.

Perhaps you have your own stuff under control but have felt the burden of losing a loved one who does not. It is no laughing matter to be left behind to deal with a mountain of stuff. Grief is hard enough without adding the stress of excessive stuff.

Perhaps stuff stresses you due to a lack of contentment. You can afford what you have and your loved ones are healthy yet you still find yourself stressed wanting more. You can never find satisfaction in what you have.

2. Financial resources. There is little you can buy that will gain value over time. Depreciation is one economical phenomenon we would rather forget. Such things as clothes, cars, furniture and the suchlike lose value over time. There are some things that bring value beyond the monetary. For example, I just spent a little over $100 on supplies to build a fire pit. I don’t expect to ever sell this fire pit or make money off of it, but I do look forward to building some relationships while sitting around it. Overspending on stuff that brings no value monetary or otherwise will drain your finances, leaving little left for what you love most. Or worse yet, what you need.

This brings me back to the lady at the beginning of this post. I could give many examples, but for sake of space I will say that she has spent a great deal of money on Christmas stocking hangers. She has well over 20 of them. Their boxes never opened. Remember, she lives alone. Now, diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, she could use the money. The stocking hangers are just as useless to her as the day she bought them.

Another way stuff steals our financial resources is in what I will call repetitive purchasing. Have you ever bought something you knew you already had just because you couldn’t find it? The next thing you know you are the not so proud owner of 30 pair of scissors. An excellent, yet sobering sign you have too much clutter, resulting in a poor use of financial resources.

3. Relationships.  There are at least two ways stuff steals from relationships. One is when people seek to get one up on others with their stuff. Your kid’s birthday party must be one notch more extravagant than hers. Your house needs to be just a touch bigger.  Your car must be newer and a higher model. Before you know it your relationships become about stuff. In a sort of twisted competition, you are robbed of any meaningful friendship.

A second way stuff steals from relationships is it keeps us from doing things we love with others. How can this be? It is an effect of clutter. Most of us have something we enjoy doing just for the fun of it; a hobby if you will. Most hobbies need some amount of stuff. Maybe it is a boat, some woodworking tools, or a sewing machine you have. Imagine whatever it is you have of this sort. Now ask yourself, is clutter hindering me from using these items for their intended pleasure? Can I access my boat or is it full of other stuff I would have to remove first? Is it trapped by other clutter so that I cannot access the hitch to take it to the lake? What about my woodworking shop or my sewing room? Are these things even possible to use or are they buried in clutter? How much enjoyable time has this excess stuff robbed you of?

4. Time. There are several ways stuff can steal your time. When we have clutter or unorganized stuff we can waste a lot of time looking for things. How much time have you spent this week looking for your keys, wallet, or phone? Others of us lose precious time shopping for more stuff. This is perhaps the ultimate irony, we spend time shopping for stuff and then the stuff just takes more time. It is a vicious cycle indeed. Stuff takes time to clean. Stuff takes time to maintain. And yes, it even takes time to get rid of stuff.

5. Charitableness. For most of us, money is a limited resource. So, any money spent on stuff is less money available to help someone in need. There are no set rules for how much charity a person should have. If you find yourself wanting to help but not having any resources left on a regular basis your stuff just might be stealing your ability to serve others.

The more I examine my own life and those around me the more clear it becomes that my biggest concern needs to be what my stuff is stealing from me rather than who might steal my stuff. Peace of mind, financial resources, relationships, time, and charitableness are all at stake.
