If you curl up tight enough, it can feel like midday already – like you’re in bed, at home, under a ceiling, and all the indignant screeching of the city is a whole window away. Sometimes, though, it’s just that bit harder to pull off. You pull yourself up, brushing a thin layer of snow from your coat. It’s gotten deeper overnight. You slept under a fire escape, which kept you mostly alright, but everything else is under maybe an inch more snow than yesterday. Soon alleys like this one will be too cold at night. You’ll have to chance a shelter, or find some dickwad’s unused shed or something. Neither option strikes you as particularly appealing, but the alternative likely involves third degree frostbite. In the street outside the alley, early-morning New York is already a flurry of random noise. You can smell hot dogs sizzling nearby, and there’s a guy peddling today’s Daily Bugle. That’d probably be you if hiring a genefreak wasn’t sorta like shooting yourself in the foot. >[X] Try to find some honest work >[X] Grab a paper You’re feeling uncharacteristically good about yourself today. Maybe something legit’ll come up – something you can rely on to pay some bills if you ever scrounge up the kind of lifestyle that includes them. You stride out into the street and drop $1.50 for a paper. As expected, there’s some shit about Spider- Man on the cover. The following pages cover some additions to the MCA – apparently certain private institutions have the right to bar you entry now, in addition to public ones. Shiny. That Xavier doctor guy that shows up on the news has made a few comments on it, but once you’ve read one ineffectual speech you’ve read ‘em all. There’s also an article about an escapee from SHIELD custody on the loose somewhere in upstate NY. Nearby there are a few café’s opening right about that might have you, and there’s a pizza place on the corner. Then you could see if the Bugle needs people throwing papers at folk. >STEALTH SET picked >You have the advantages of , >INVISIBILITY: Lvl1 (chameleonic). Highly effective in darkness or when still. Less effective in motion or against careful eyes. No heat-masking, retains shadow. >ENHANCED SENSES: Lvl1. You have perfect night vision. Your hearing, smell, and touch are just above peak human. >The STEALTH SET has the potential to level up these abilities or branch out into secondary mutations. >You have the disadvantages of, >MULTISPECTRAL EYES >POINTED EARS >PSEUDOSCALES AT JOINTS, HANDS, AND COLLAR >[X] Bugle You decide that the Bugle could always use more people. Maybe after a few months of peddling papers you might be able to move up to taking pictures, pictures of Spider-Man. God knows you need some kind of mutant juju to get a good shot of that creepy dude. You make your way towards the nearest underground station, but grind to a halt when you notice a new sign hanging over the entrance, declaring that mutants found utilizing the services could face prosecution. >[X] Walk You take a moment to make sure your shades are in place, and like any semi-self-respecting hobo you have a hood to draw over your head during cold nights. So a short walk among the good folk of NY shouldn’t be too eventful. As it happens, it isn’t. People are busy most times of year, and with the Christmas lights popping up all around town, they’re getting extra distracted. You fade into the background without the help of your mutant powers. Eventually you arrive at the Daily Bugle, feeling just a little worse for wear. There’s no bigass sign declaring that you can go take your mutie ass elsewhere, so you edge on in. The lobby is semi-bustling with people heading in to work, but there’s a lady at a desk that looks relatively unoccupied. You gulp, and – >Hunger Level: 7/10 Roll a D20 to attempt to hide your more visible mutant traits (assuming you're hiding). With your shades on and hood up, this is a DC10 test. Without the hood, DC12, and without the shades, DC18. Rolled 18 >Success! "Excuse me Miss, if it doesn’t trouble you may I ask if there're any job opportunities here?" She looks up from whatever’s on her monitor and gives you a long stare. There’s no particular revulsion there, so you’d guess that your homo superior (yeah, right) status has gone unnoticed. The general wear and tear of the streets, however, has not. You can see the pity flaring up in her eyes. Thank God you’re the young type of hobo, not the crusty Santa type. “Sure, honey. We always need people selling papers. It’s not steady, and today’s issue’s out, but I can sign you up for a spot tomorrow. You got a name?” >[X] Take the job. “John… James… Green.” She mouths the words as she scrawls them down amongst a group of other names. “There you go, John. Check in early tomorrow morning and we’ll have something for you.” You thank her and make for the exit, your name on the register and a somewhat renewed sense of self- worth in your chest. Some dweeb with glasses and a camera gives you a quizzical look on the way out, but otherwise nobody seems to notice that you’ve finagled your way into a bit of honest work. Your waltz across the city took a fair bit of time, but it’s still just before midday. You're getting kinda hungry. >[X] Or at least a Macky D's Welp, oddly enough, there’s no McDonalds in sight. But there is a Burger King, which is fine by you. You slink on in and join the queue. The place is bustling with big eaters, a fact that sends a nervous shudder down your everything. You’re not a fan of crowds. You’re especially not a fan of the little sign over the top of the counter stating that Burger King reserves the right to turn away mutant customers or potential employees. But by the time you’ve noticed it, you’re up, and there’s a spotty kid grinning at you and asking how the King can help you today. >Roll to hide your mutation. Same DC as before. Rolled 15 >Success >[X] Large meal. Your hood is secure, and with it, your identity. You order a large meal and hand over a bunch of the grubby notes in your wallet. You don’t have to wait long before a teenaged squawk announces that your meal is ready, and you bundle it up. The place is actually filtering out a bit now, the crowds becoming a little more tolerable – you’d guess a whole bunch of people just realized that their lunch break is over. There are a few empty tables. Or there’s the streets. >Current Funds: $16.50 >You still have that newspaper rolled up in a jacket pocket. You decide to take a chance and sit down at one of the nearby booths. Nobody’s noticed you so far, and if they do, you can always just fade out and bolt it. You start ploughing through your meal. It’s warm, it’s greasy, it’s Burger King. It fills a hole. As you eat, you get the chance to read a little more of that paper you’ve got tucked away. There’s been an admonishment from Captain America on the latest MCA addendums, which is pretty cool. People tend to listen to that guy. A little subsection near the back seems to be implicating that The Kingpin is involved in the recent flood of mutant-targeted drugs on the market, but as usual, there’s nothing concrete. >Hunger Level: 3/10 >Roll a D20. Random event chart, yo Rolled 4 >4 >For future reference: As they’re not really rated from ‘good to bad’ via highest to lowest number, but rather full of totally random outcomes, Random Event rolls take the first roll, no exceptions. You lick the last specks of burger-grease from your semi-scaly fingertips, recalling vaguely how your mother used to strictly forbid that you succumb to the seductions of fast food. You fucking hated that, back then. All the other kids had their stupid McDonald’s parties (hey, that’s something you don’t see no more), while you sat out and munched on celery, silently fuming at the matriarchal injustice of – Something beyond the nasal muck of grease and ketchup and meat trips your sense of smell up. It’s this sterile something, almost like nightshade, or cyanide, and flecked with that queasy-clean hospital smell. Not Burger King at all. It clings to the trail of four men that have sat down at various tables around the restaurant.

  • The Paws That Refresh Us
    ANTHONY LINICK LIFE AMONG THE DOG PEOPLE OF PADDINGTON REC. VOL XI The Paws That Refresh Us Life Among The Dog People of Paddington Rec. Volume XI Anthony Linick Introduction The same day that we returned after two months in California – having decided that we would not be moving back to the States at the beginning of our retirement – my wife Dorothy and I took our property off the market … and ordered a puppy. Fritz the Schnauzer arrived a few weeks later and by the end of June, 2003, we had entered that unique society of dog owners who people London’s Paddington Recreation Ground. The society in which we were now to take our place remains a unique one, an ever-changing kaleidoscope of dogs and their owners. The dogs represent most of the popular breeds and many of the mutt-like mixtures – and so do their accompanying humans, who come from diverse nationalities and from many walks of life: professionals and job seekers, young and old, family members and loners. They are united by their love of dogs, and on the central green of the park, on its walkways and at the café where they gather after exercising their animals, they often let this affection for dogs carry them into friendships that transcend park life and involve many of them in additional social activities. Fritz had been a member of the pack for about a year when I decided to keep a daily record of his antics and the folkways of the rest of the crew, human and canine.

  • HEGEMONIC DISCOURSEAND SOURCESOF LEGITIMACY in CUBA: COMPARING MARIEL (1980) and the MALECONAZO (1994) LUKAS PORT, Msc
    HEGEMONIC DISCOURSE AND SOURCES OF LEGITIMACY IN CUBA: COMPARING MARIEL (1980) AND THE MALECONAZO (1994) LUKAS PORT, MSc. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy JULY 2012 Abstract This research project investigates the sources of legitimacy in hegemonic Cuban discourse, understood to have supported the stability of the Cuban system during crises and challenging times, such as the end of the Cold War and the 1990s Special Period. Evidence was drawn from the Cuban press, namely Granma, Bohemia and Verde Olivo, in two critical periods: the 1980 Mariel episode and the 1994 maleconazo disturbances as two examples before and after 1989 in order to compare the sources of legitimacy and identify continuities and shifts. The two periods represent recent examples of instability, which dominated the attention of the whole nation. The evidence is based on textual examination using discourse analysis as the method of investigation. The research is written in the discipline of political history, with elements taken from cultural studies and political communication. The project is based on the assumption that the sources of legitimacy represented a significant, but not exclusive factor which may have encouraged the population's loyalty by reflecting their attitudes and concerns and channelling them in a particular direction. The discourse also interpreted reality to support the legitimacy of the system. This might have contributed significantly to the stability of the whole system, and its ability to survive the post-1989 transitions experienced in other communist countries. The research examines the content and internal mechanics of the discourse, its assumptions and endogenous references, taking into account the specific context of the single-party communist state in control of the country's media and mass organisations.

  • A Lens of Liminality: an Interpretive Biography of Charles Warren Stoddard, 1843-1909
    A LENS OF LIMINALITY: AN INTERPRETIVE BIOGRAPHY OF CHARLES WARREN STODDARD, 1843-1909 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAl'l IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY DECEMBER 2004 By John-Gabriel H. James Thesis Committee: David A. Chappell, Chairperson David Hanlon Robert McGlone © 2004, John-Gabriel H. James 1ll To Poppo (1910-2000) IV ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The support of many friends and family members have helped to make this work possible. It has been a long haul. First of all, I would like to acknowledge my tremendous debt to the amazing efforts and insight of four authors who have helped me to better understand the life and times of Charles Warren Stoddard: Dr. Carl Stroven, Roger Austen, John W. Crowley, and Jonathan Ned Katz. Without their example of perseverance in the face ofobstacles and their example of taking initiative with groundbreaking research and scholarship, this work would not be possible in its present form. Next, I would like to thank my committee members, Professor David Chappell, Professor David Hanlon, and Professor Bob McGlone for all of their assistance and support. Your comments and feedback on revisions have helped me to reflect much more deeply about Stoddard's life and my own. A very special thank you goes to Joe Coppola & the Coppola Family of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, and all of the members of the Copley House family in Boston. Without your encouragement and support over the past five years ofstruggle, I could not have possibly completed this transformative and important project.
