A great man who knew he knew nothing, except that he lost his youth in the potholes of a road that led to nowhere. Grave breaches to which the preceding articles shall be those involving any of the following acts, if committed against persons or property protected by the convention: Willful killing, torture or inhuman treatment, including biological experiments, willfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health, and extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly. -Geneva Convention, Chapter VIII; Article 51 Chapter 1 June 1, 1944 Personal Journal …It is despairing for me to think of how much money has been wasted in the training of inferior men, while right now we have the capability to breed the ultimate weapon. We must learn to control the Malcuthrad. - Dr. Hans Verruckt Doctor Verruckt inspected the final details of the experiment. His lab notes formed a chaotic collage that must have been displeasing to the painted mural of the Fuehrer looking down into the room. The guard dogs barked outside, their echoes crawled through the cracks in the walls, bringing the stench of the camp with them. Nothing could stop the lingering taint of the camp. One could grow accustomed to the screams of human filth, but never to that odor. The perfume of blood, burnt flesh, and shit clung to everyone and everything. No scrubbing could remove it, no perfume could mask it. It was always there, lurking like a playground rapist. There was a sharp knock at the door. Bundling his papers, Doctor Verruckt opened the porthole and walked though to the laboratory beyond. The room was often washed by screams. Several pain stained tables stood full of glass equipment and cages that held various vermin. Still more tables were stacked high with bizarre texts and charts taken from the shelves that lined the walls. One table was bolted down in the center of the room, isolated from the others like a diseased orphan. A young woman laid there, belly swollen with child, naked and crucified with leather straps. A nurse with a scorched spirit had prepared the young mother for the procedure. Her cold eyes had taken the usual vital signs already, deaf to the subject’s cries for mercy. She turned as the doctor approached. “All is ready, Doctor,” the nurse said as he began inspecting the piece of meat that he saw before him. The young mother had given up the struggle against her binds. The pleas for her unborn child had been traded for the whispered prayers that now escaped her lips. Verruckt checked that the numbers inked on the page matched those tattooed on the woman’s arm. The experiment had failed in the last five attempts, but a subject in the sixth month of pregnancy could be the answer. He knew the others would fail, but these tests had to be completed to ensure accuracy. Still silent, Verruckt moved to another table and examined the dull gray apparatus that lay there. It resembled an inverted punch bowl made of dull metal. Rubber coated wires churned like mad serpents about its surface, completing circuits and connecting each piece to the other with telltale crimson patches amongst them. A small reel-to-reel tape recorder was fastened like eyes to the exterior of the device. Two speakers were positioned at opposite sides, pointing to within the bowls hollow. Verruckt motioned to the nurse, and together they moved the channeling device onto the mother’s abdomen and strapped it down over her unborn child. The young mother paused her prayers anticipating pain as she felt the weird thing on her. She looked down only to see the lifeless eyes of the tape reels, and then resumed her prayers with a heightened fervor. The nurse stood watching like an eager student over the doctor’s shoulder as he triple checked his apparatus. Then, with a sterile nod, it began. The young mother stopped praying, fear widening her eyes to the ceiling. Only now would she know which gods had been listening to her prayers. She dared not breathe. She waited for the pain to wash over her, but none came. Through the electrical hum, the click of the reel-to-reel tape could be heard. A muffled chanting came from the speakers, recorded only for the ears of her unborn child. The young mother waited for what was to come. The pain began. The room exploded in a shrill wail. Every rat, rabbit, and guinea pig in the lab joined in a screaming choir. It was an unnatural howl, the sound of raw terror. The mother began screaming with the beasts. Her eyes thrashed, searching the ceiling to find any god to help, but none had listened to her prayers. The air was rotting with forbidden power; the essence of fear now flowed through the room. One of the frenzied lab creatures threw itself against its bars, knocking the wire cage to the floor with a crash. Yet through all of this, Doctor Verruckt stood firm. He observed the experiment, as oblivious to the noise 1 around him as he was to the wails of the young mother. She was mad with agony, smashing her head against the table. On the fourth blow her head split open, spilling blood across the table and onto the floor. On the fifth blow she vomited blood and flesh across her breasts. It splashed onto her swollen and now pulsing abdomen, carrying a small chunk of meat that had once been her tongue. Doctor Verruckt moved to her side to observe more closely, it would not be long now. A spitting scream spattered blood across the front of his lab coat; a few drops struck his face unnoticed. The young mother’s eyes rolled back as she thrashed in the madness of agony. A putrid geyser exploded from her crotch, splattering the wall and all things between with a runny slime of blood and flesh. The tissue between her navel and anus now hung in seething ribbons, clinging like spider silk to the wall, tables, and chanting device. From under the device, within the twisted flesh of her womb, a small underdeveloped face emerged. Its fetal black eyes were wide and tiny lips curled back as it savagely tried to free itself from the mother’s tangling intestines. Turning its face, it caught sight of the doctor standing over it. A vicious smile of stolen flesh gawked in pleasure. The mother moved her jaw as both the fetus and mother spoke in one voice; the voice of Thesmulcar. The doctor had heard it before, it was the true voice of all things within this world and without. Lost to man at the tower of Babel, it now erupted from the two speaking as one while the animals’ choir of terror continued around them. “Malcuthrad come! The masters have returned!” Doctor Verruckt drew his pistol and fired three shots into the tiny face before him. Not before all movement had stopped, did he calmly turn back to his clipboard and report the experiment's failure. Tucking his clipboard under his arm, he spoke for the fist time since entering the room. “Prepare for the next attempt. Confirm the subject is in the seventh month,” he said, and without another word, returned to his office. 2 Chapter 2 “You don’t know, what you don’t know, and it never bothers you.” -The Truth Deep in space, a mammoth fiery eye explodes around itself in nuclear chaos. The heat and light birthed from this sail through the void and eight minutes later falls upon earth. Weaving its way down through the atmosphere, its rays become the morning sunbeams for the small municipality of Port Kells, British Columbia. Steve Naylor felt the heat of those same sunbeams on his face, bringing with them the knowledge of a new day. He toyed with the idea of getting out of bed, but the blankets were heavy. It is best not to rush into these things, he thought, but a sudden weight upon his chest meant the decision was no longer his. A large white Persian cat delivered a loud resounding purr and a warm wet nose into his master's ear. Steve turned to avoid the foreign feline probe. “Good morning Sebastian,” he said. The persistent Persian ignored his thick sarcasm. Another nudge, then another, and finally Steve gave up the fight. Grabbing the cat as he sat up, he looked out on a fuzzy world. He found his glasses on the night table and slid them on to face the morning. His was a basement suite. A matching couch and loveseat with worn plaid upholstery were cluttered by clothing and books. Bookshelves had sprouted everywhere around the room while existing wall spaces between them were artistically plastered with a collage of posters and magazine articles hiding tan wallpaper. A woman’s voice came from upstairs. “Steve! Breakfast.” “I'll be right there!” he yelled back, startling the cat. Dropping Sebastian from his lap, Steve worked his way to the edge of his futon to find yesterday’s black jeans and T-shirt.

  • White Rabbit
    Dargelos White Rabbit A Chronicle of the Old Dead Guys Bound in Leather Press Chicago Glen Ellyn Dedicated to the memory of Bill Reynolds Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph. Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you. Paul Simon, Bookends Theme 2 Introduction If you remember the sixties, you weren’t there. For those old enough to remember the Old Dead Guys, the name alone is synonymous with an entire era. For me, at least, they summed up the sixties in a way few other bands could do, and even though they never became as widely known as bands like the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, I believe that had they not broken up when they did, they might well have achieved the fame they deserved within a very short time. This is not an “official” biography of the group by any means, though I did have access to a great deal of material that belonged to band members, and much which has been out of circulation for nearly three decades. For that I would like to thank my sources, most of whom prefer to remain anonymous. However, two of them I can thank publicly: Michael Altman was a great help to me in compiling and interpreting this material. He gave me access to unpublished material which has shed a lot of new light on the group and its members; in order to be clear on exactly what it is you’re reading, please see Michael’s note which follows this introduction. Sydney Ember, who has been incredibly kind and supportive of this effort, gave me complete access to his superb collection of ODG memorabilia as well as sharing a great many memories of the group with me.

  • Summaries of Book Club Kit Titles “A”
    Summaries of Book Club Kit Titles “A” Alchemist, The – Paula Coelho Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. The Alchemist is such a book. With over a million and a half copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has already established itself as a modern classic, universally admired. Paulo Coelho's charming fable, now available in English for the first time, will enchant and inspire an even wider audience of readers for generations to come. The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist. The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams. Added before December 2010 Alice I Have Been – Melanie Benjamin Part love story, part literary mystery, Melanie Benjamin’s spellbinding historical novel leads readers on an unforgettable journey down the rabbit hole, to tell the story of a woman whose own life became the stuff of legend. Her name is Alice Liddell Hargreaves, but to the world she’ll always be known simply as “Alice,” the girl who followed the White Rabbit into a wonderland of Mad Hatters, Queens of Hearts, and Cheshire Cats.

  • Schrödinger's Cape: the Quantum Seriality of the Marvel Multiverse William Proctor, University of Bournemouth, UK. on The
    Schrödinger’s Cape: The Quantum Seriality of the Marvel Multiverse William Proctor, University of Bournemouth, UK. On the surface, quantum physics and narrative theory are not easy bedfellows. In fact, some may argue that the two fields are incommensurable paradigms and any attempt to prove otherwise would be a foolhardy endeavour, more akin to intellectual trickery and sleight-of- hand than a prism with which to view narrative systems. Yet I find myself repeatedly confronted by these two ostensibly incompatible theories converging as I explore the vast narrative networks associated with fictional world-building -- most notably those belonging to comic book multiverses of Marvel and DC Comics which, Nick Lowe argues “are the largest narrative constructions in human history (exceeding, for example, the vast body of myth, legend and story that underlies Greek and Latin literature)” (Kaveney, 25). Contemporary quantum theory postulates that the universe is not a singular body progressing linearly along a unidirectional spatiotemporal pathway – as exponents of the Newtonian classic physics model believe – but, rather, a multiverse comprised of alternate worlds, parallel dimensions and multiple timelines. Both Marvel and bête noire DC Comics embrace the multiverse concept that allows multiple iterations, versions and reinterpretations of their character populations to co-exist within a spatiotemporal framing principle that shares remarkable commonalities with the quantum model. Where Marvel and DC deviate from one another, however, is that the latter utilises the conceit as an intra-medial model for its panoply of comic books; whereas, conversely, the Marvel multiverse functions as a transmedia firmament that encapsulates an entire catalogue within its narrative rubric, a strategy that is analogous with the quantum paradigm.

  • Daily Iowan (Iowa City, Iowa), 2011-06-14
    TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 2011 Regents dismiss ELECTION WATCH School for the Deaf FOLLOW THE RACE ON TWITTER AT #IACAUCUS teacher The state Board of Regents voted unanimously Monday to ter- minate Iowa School for the Deaf physical-education teacher Karen Lechner. Regent President David Miles said at the meeting the School for the Deaf Superintendent Jeanne Prickett recommended in April to end Lechner’s contract because of a lack of funds. Lechner, who made about $50,000 in 2010, then requested a private hearing before the regents. Lechner is one of five School for the Deaf teachers who received “reduction in force” notices this year, though she was the only one to request a hearing. Prickett said her institution has seen a roughly 16 percent budget cut over the last two years, and cuts have occurred since 2000. The school cannot raise property taxes as can other state K-12 schools, she said, mak- ing it hard to raise funds in response to decreased state edu- cation appropriations and low allowable growth. “That does make our budget very different,” she said. “There’s no way to find an extra resource.” — by Luke Voelz Judge to review Hunninghake Patrons watch the CNN-sponsored Republican debate at Bo-James on Monday as candidate Mitt Romney speaks.

  • The Great Big Marvel Character Index (GBMCI) Compiled by Andrew Goldstein [1]
    The Great Big Marvel Character Index (GBMCI) Compiled by Andrew Goldstein [1] Version 1.0, last revised 01/20/2018 This index notes each character from the Marvel Universe that was described in one or more MARVEL SUPER HEROES game products. The abbreviations used herein follow. The letter D, followed by a number, indicatesthat the character was mentioned in that issue of DRAGON® Magazine (issues #88 to #198). The letter P, followed by a number, indicates the given issue number of POLYHEDRON Newszine in which a character was mentioned (issues #18 to #61). Some products listed did not mention specific heroes or villains, but are included here to show the complete line of MARVEL SUPER HEROES game products. In cases where character entries occupy multiple pages, the page number given denotes the beginning page of the character entry. Note that this index ONLY includes characters published under the TSR "FASERIP" system; it does not include source material for the SAGA or any other subsequent incarnation of the Marvel RPG, or unpublished "vaporware" works in progress that were never commercially released, etc. This index also does not include various issues of the Marvel-Phile and other publications which do not include character information (for example, the various Ultimate Power Book addenda, Q&A, and the character indexes themselves) although some of those articles do include non- character stats (e.g., Marvel Universe technology, or real-world miltary generic stats). The TSR-produced miniatures sets are likewise not listed, because why the heck would you need to look those up? The index will eventually include fan-made material that follows the same system, as relevant to the Marvel canon.
