Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone can help me decipher the Kieselguhr pattern. I’m new to knitting tops so I thought I’d start with a tank or tee before I start a sweater. I have just finished the first part, the back and I am utterly confused by the instructions for the front.
I’ve tried to follow the instructions four times now and I just can’t figure it out.
Has anyone knit this and can walk me through it?

Feel free to downvote if this is the wrong sub, I have a physics theory and I want to know if it can support itself or just generally get insight from people who know physics. (Yes, I fed the theory to GPT to put it into a coherent format.)
The Holographic Hierarchy Theory
Imagine a universe where each level of reality is a projection of a higher-dimensional structure, akin to a hologram. This theory, called the Holographic Hierarchy Theory, proposes that every level of existence is both a reflection and a fundamental component of a higher-dimensional framework, creating a seamless and interconnected multiverse.
The Concept

1. Cosmic Atoms and Molecular Galaxies: In this model, a solar system is not just like an atom; it is an atom within the context of a grander structure. Planets orbiting a star resemble electrons orbiting a nucleus, but this star system is part of a larger molecular galaxy. Each galaxy is a molecule in an even more complex organism, possibly as mundane as a speck of dust in a larger universe.
   
2. Nested Universes: The observable universe is but one layer in a vast, nested hierarchy. Each galaxy, like the Milky Way, forms part of a molecular structure in a higher-dimensional reality. This reality, in turn, is a component of yet another, even larger universe, extending infinitely both upward and downward in scale.
   
3. Atomic Microcosms: On the microscopic scale, each atom within our universe contains a miniature cosmos. The nucleus, with its protons and neutrons, serves as a central star or black hole, with electrons orbiting like distant planets. Within these atoms, subatomic particles (quarks, electrons, etc.) are tiny solar systems themselves, containing their own miniature universes.
   
4. Dimensional Interconnectedness: Each level of reality is connected through a higher-dimensional space, which acts like a holographic film projecting all lower-dimensional layers. This higher-dimensional space is not bound by our conventional understanding of space and time but rather operates on principles that unify all levels of existence.
   
5. Humans as Dimensional Nodes: Humans and other conscious beings are nodes in this interconnected network. Our perception and consciousness resonate at specific frequencies that align with the vibrations of this holographic hierarchy. Thus, our thoughts, emotions, and experiences are not isolated events but part of the larger cosmic symphony.
   
6. Strings as Fundamental Connectors: Building on string theory, the fundamental strings are not just the smallest building blocks but also the connectors between different levels of reality. These strings vibrate in multiple dimensions, creating and sustaining the holographic projections that form each layer of the hierarchy.
   

Implications

1. Unified Understanding of Physics: This theory provides a framework that unifies quantum mechanics and general relativity. The holographic projections at different scales explain the apparent discrepancies between the behavior of particles at quantum levels and the behavior of massive bodies in space.
   
2. Consciousness as a Universal Constant: Consciousness is not an emergent property but a fundamental aspect of reality, present at all levels. Each node of consciousness, whether human or otherwise, contributes to the overall structure and function of the multiverse.
   
3. Infinite Complexity: There is no final scale or ultimate level of reality. The universe is infinitely complex, with each level reflecting the others in a never-ending fractal pattern. This infinite complexity allows for endless possibilities and variations in the forms and functions of matter and energy.
   
4. Higher-Dimensional Exploration: Understanding and manipulating the higher-dimensional holographic space could unlock new technologies and ways of interacting with the universe. This could lead to breakthroughs in energy, information transfer, and even interdimensional travel.
   

Conclusion
The Holographic Hierarchy Theory offers a profound and intricate view of the universe, where each level of existence is a holographic projection of a higher-dimensional reality. This interconnected, infinitely complex framework unifies our understanding of physics, consciousness, and the nature of existence, suggesting that our reality is but one layer in an endlessly fascinating multiverse.

[Part 1]
My king. The sad memories faded into blurred flashbacks.
Olyvar cherished the sweet time as his grace’s squire. Though two years older, it made no matter. A warrior king was training Olyvar the way of knighthood, almost any boy’s dream. He remembered on slow days, Robb Stark would spend time with him, teaching the art of the long sword and shield. He can still remember the cloudy day at the Crag’s courtyard and his Northern accent as he swung his blade at the squire. “Keep your shield up Olyvar. Keep it up.”
“It’s too heavy.” Olyvar replied as Robb swung on.
“If it wasn’t heavy, it wouldn’t stop a sword. So get it up.”
They sparred and sparred in the courtyard. Robb Stark was dancing with him, hilts in hands. After he knocked Olyvar to the dirt for the twentieth time, he lifted him back up.
“Come, drive at me.” Robb then grabbed Olyvar gently by the back of his neck. “Look Olly, keep your shield up or I’ll ring your head like a bell.”
Olyvar never forgot that moment, his Grace’s right-hand touch, the way Robb looked into his eyes and called him ‘Olly’. No one has ever called him that and he liked it very much. They continued to dance. Rain began to fall, turning dirt into mud. Olyvar darted at him. Robb stepped aside, deflecting the stab off his shield and twirled around forward in a natural motion, his cloak spinning in the air. Before Olyvar knew it, Robb had his rear, his sword ready to thrust or slash any part of him. He glanced back and knew he was lost. The dance paused there and Olyvar turned around to meet Robb’s beautiful blue eyes. He could melt in them.
“You had me your Grace.”
“Come Olly, it’s your turn.” A winter wind came blowing in from across the sea. A breeze lingered there, brushed Robb’s auburn hair. “Now, dance with me!”
It almost felt like a sin to be as excited as Olly was at that moment.
“I’ll drive to you now. Try to do what I just did. In mud like this, don’t forget to plant your foot before each movement. And remember, you have to keep your shield up.”
As Olyvar and Robb got into their positions, his older half-nephew Ser Ryman Frey suddenly appeared and intervened. He grabbed Olyvar like a little green boy and pulled him towards the exit. NO! Olyvar’s word caught in his mouth.
Robb spoke up for him. “What are you doing? Olyvar is my squire and a grown man. He can do what he wants and speaks for himself.”
“My grandfather has declared a suspension of your alliance with House Frey,” Ryman said. “You have broken a sacred vow. If you would not have his daughter or granddaughter as your queen, you certainly cannot have his son as your squire.”
Robb was expecting Olyvar to say something, but the squire froze. More Frey guardsmen came in and dragged him away from the courtyard, his heels lifeless on the ground, leaving twin mud tracks on his departure. Robb stared at him sweet, sad, and silent. A bolt of lightning flashed across the rainy skies, its reflection off the King’s sword blinding Olyvar. That was the last time he saw Robb alive.
When news of his King returning to the Twins for the wedding between Lord Edmure Tully and his sister Roslin, Olyvar could not contain his excitement, to hear the voice of his call.
Since that rainy courtyard day, Olyvar had been on his own for long enough. He hoped maybe Robb could show him again that dance that he loved. Maybe. Olyvar had been going through withdrawals. Not seeing his Grace was just too much. He could turn me on with the slightest touch. But since the Red Wedding, Olyvar’s courtyard has been cold and empty. Fuck anyone who judges me. He couldn’t see clearly now that Robb was forever gone. Olyvar was still blinded by Robb’s last light. He couldn’t sleep, still yearning for his touch. In his heart, rain constantly fell, drowning him in the nights. I was his squire, Olyvar cried as his soul twisted. And I failed him. I was the only one that night he could trust.
After the slaughter, Merrett Frey, a kin of his, greeted him as he released Olyvar from the dungeons. “I’m sorry Olyvar that we had to lock you up, Perwyn and Alesander too. But you must do your duty for your family. You are a Frey, a man of an honorable house. This stain left by Robb Stark and his bitch mother Catelyn Tully should not go unpunished. Lady Catelyn also killed Jinglebells. She even japed ‘a son for a son*‘* to our Lord father as she slit his throat.”
A son for a son. Olyvar Frey looked at Merrett sullenly, his voice choking up, “I must go for a walk.” Olyvar walked and walked … passing the burnt tents, passing the dead soldiers with Northern and Riverland sigils sewn on their garments, and passing Grey Wind’s headless body. He was far enough from home, but he could still hear the cheap cheers of the Frey and Bolton soldiers.
He fell to his knees and began to cry. My king. My sweet king. Olyvar swore vengeance. Though he will never consider kinslaying as it was a curse among the gods, it would not stop him from facilitating others who seek revenge against his own family, the ones who were directly involved.
Suddenly at the side of the river, a dying man was crawling towards him. Soaked in water, mud and blood, he cried out in a ghastly voice “Olyvar!”
“Who, who are you?” Olyvar sprinted to aid and for recognition. “Raynald?” Without hesitation Olyvar replied, “My brother!” He placed himself under Raynald’s shoulder and lifted him up. “We need to find a maester.”
On the way back to camp, Olyvar and Raynald encountered two sentries of his Frey household guards, far from any other eyes can see.
“So what do you have here my Lord Olyvar?” one asked.
“A dying lone wolf? Let us put him out of his misery,” the other replied as they stared at Ser Raynald Westerling’s dampened seashell surcoat.
Olyvar lowered himself and laid Ser Raynald on the ground, and arose in a tone cold as stone. “No. Not a lone wolf.”
Olyvar unsheathed his sword and killed both Frey guards before they could reach their weapons. He then swapped Raynald’s wet Westerling clothing for one of the dead men, and found a maester.
Ser Raynald Westerling stayed with Olyvar at the Twins under disguise. He even trimmed off his brushy moustache. Weeks later after Ray had fully healed, he asked Olyvar to go with him to look for Maege Mormont and Galbart Glover at their secret hideout, as per the original plan before the wedding.
One night, Olyvar Frey simply walked out of the Twins again, this time with Ray. No one would care where Olyvar was going. Truth be told, his Frey family would be more content if more spawnlings of their lord father would leave the castle to find their own destiny, especially if they were unlikely heirs deep behind the line of succession.
Aboard one of the Northern galleys floating outside of Seagard, the Seashell Knight had to explain how this son of Walder Frey earned his trust, as Lady Mormont held Olyvar by the throat with a dagger. The skin around her eyes had been raked and blackened with tears and nails, her teeth bit with furious anger. She had been like this for weeks. Olyvar stared at her face and he felt like he could die here and now, if that was what it meant for Lady Mormont to forgive him, as he knows no gold would ever substitute for her grief. “I am sorry about your daughter Dacey. I lost my brother too. Benfred was a good man, I swear to you by all the gods old and new, that he did not have a part in the slaughter. Benfred would have done everything he could to grab an innocent woman like Dacey, and bring her safe from harm.” Olyvar meant it.
Mormont sheathed her dagger, her hands still shaking. “I’ll kill them all! Anyone who was a part of this!”
“No.” Olyvar replied. “We have to get the girls back. And then you can kill them all.”
At the siege of Riverrun, Olyvar Frey freely roamed Ryman’s uncoordinated camp. No one cared. One night alone, he swam across the moat and climbed up the castle with spikes. Only thirty feet up, the Tully guards had heard him clanking and aimed their crossbows from above. “Identify yourself!”
He whispered, “I am Olyvar Frey, son of Walder Frey, former squire to his King, Robb Stark. I come unarmed and offer myself as a hostage. I know the Blackfish, please let him know I am here.”
“Stay where you are.”
Olyvar clung to the castle’s wall half way down to death and half way up to forgiveness. Finally Ser Brynden Tully appeared and told Olyvar to come up quietly. As Olyvar threw himself over the parapet and onto the floor, the Blackfish kicked away his spikes and immediately kneed his body to the ground, holding a dagger at his throat. Shit, not again! Damn this mayhaps, why was I unblessed to be born a Frey?
“What are you doing here, Olyvar Frey?” Ser Tully demanded.
Olyvar told them the truth and handed him Lady Maege’s letter from a waterproof compartment in his garment. The letter was coded with secret words that he and she only knew. The Blackfish cracked the seal, unrolled the parchment and read. Afterwards he released the grip from the bottom and the message curled up on its own, eager to protect the secrets.
“The paper curls, at least you didn’t try to deceive me with the age of the parchment.” He then asked Olyvar, “So, you killed some of your own men did you?”
“To save Ser Westerling, yes.” The Blackfish looked at his eyes and nodded in approval. “May I see her now?” Olyvar inquired.
The Tully guards led Olyvar to her room. Some left the area, but others stayed and watched, still suspicious of the unarmed Frey. She was in her solar, knitting her needle works. He fell down to one knee towards his niece-in-law (by Olyvar’s brother-in-law, Lord Edmure Tully), “My Queen.”
“Olyvar!” Without a hint of hesitation or mistrust, she dropped her needle, ran towards him, and wrapped her loose skinny arms strongly under his’. She poured her heart, soul and grief-filled life into a Rose By the name of Olyvar Frey. He reciprocated, placing his arms around her shoulders as Jeyne Westerling-Stark continued to hold tight. Her orange sized breasts pushed against his chest, as the Queen’s chestnut mop of brown hair sat below Olyvar’s clean-shaven chin.
“Robb.” It was all she needed to say as they shared a sob. Nothing hurt more than that moment when he shared the same pain with Jeyne. Olyvar dipped his head to hers, their salty tears finally uniting and slowly dancing together as their faces pressed cheek to cheek.
“He is in the heavens now, I believe, singing from above.” Olyvar prayed. “He will be waiting for us. No doubt we will see him again some day, but we must make him wait.”
“I miss him so much,” Jeyne cried. She was always cheerful with Olyvar since they first met. Though he was curious whether she truly loved Robb or just wanted to be a queen, she has repeatedly been kind to him, so sweet. She never intervened when Robb trained Olyvar at swordplay and he was grateful for that. When they wed, Olyvar knew Robb could never be his brother, but Jeyne did not seem to mind letting him continue to squire beside her much younger brother, Rollam Westerling. Robb had allowed Olyvar to protect the queen sometimes, along with the other household guards, though he was still training at arms. Olyvar and Jeyne would talk constantly, mostly about their King. Even when Jeyne rambles about him, she would always shy away from talking about Robb’s bed manners. But Olyvar insisted he did not mind hearing it. Jeyne felt like a sister to him, just as much or more as Roslin.
“I miss him too,” Olyvar replied. “Did you really love him?”
She cried a little bit louder and squeezed Olyvar even harder. “With all my heart.”
Olyvar wanted to confess too, but he could not do it here, not with everyone watching. He only hoped Jeyne would ask him the same, and she did. “Did you really love him, Olyvar?”
He tightened his grip on Jeyne’s shoulders. “More than you ever know.”
She gently reached for his hands and lowered them. “Olyvar, you were his squire. He is gone now. But you still have a duty to us. You must protect us. We must never separate again. Promise me Olyvar. Promise me.”
“No. I cannot. Not yet. I must leave you, just this one last time, for your safety and your family’s.”
“You are part of my family,” the Queen proclaimed. Tears rolled down again, their hands still held together at their hips.
“I need to leave Riverrun tonight. And I promise you, we will reunite again and I will keep you safe.”
They talked for hours about the good times, the horror, and what the future lies. They talked about Robb, crying to the sadness of him, exulting at his bravery and his glories, laughing at the silly juvenile things the teenager king did to entertain them, and about falling in love with him all over again. And then they cried some more.
Later on that night, Ser Brynden visited Jeyne and Olyvar, with Lady Eleyna and Lady Sybell watching. “Olyvar, you were the King’s squire and though he is no longer with us, you are still owed a knighthood. Let the gods curse me if I ever knighted a Frey, but you are no Frey I have ever known. What you are about to do would be considered treason to your family.”
“But my lord father was treasonous to my King. I do not get to choose my father or which family I was born into. But here right now, is the family I want to be with.”
“Will you honor your new family? Will you honor your duty to your late King, his Queen and his House, the Starks of Winterfell?”
“I do,” Olyvar replied with pride.
The Blackfish unsheathed his sword, the blade alive with moonlight gleaming from the window balcony. “Shit I think I’m doing this wrong. I was supposed to say that later. Anyways, kneel Olyvar Frey.”
Olyvar got to one knee as Queen Stark and all the others watched. Ser Brynden Tully, the legendary warrior Blackfish, placed the flat of his sword on Olyvar’s shoulder.
“I charge you to be brave and … aww shit the knighting words escape me. I’m embarrassing myself. Anyways um. Family! Honor! Duty!” He placed the blade on the other shoulder. “Shit, I forgot the rest of the speech. Forgive me. But Olyvar of House Frey, I name you a knight! Now rise!”
And arose the new knight stood, and proud he was. King Robb Stark could have never fulfilled his promise of a knighthood, but it was his father that took it away from him. But being knighted by the Blackfish was more than anything Olyvar wanted right now, besides keeping Queen Jeyne and his family safe. To him, it was forgiveness.
The Queen approached him with a longsword in scabbard, flat on both hands. “Our late King had a gift for you Ser Olyvar Frey, at least he would have wanted you to have it.”
Before Ser Olyvar received it, he already knew what it was. Robb’s sword. “No, I cannot. I am unworthy of this gift, his Grace’s sword.”
“This is King Robb Stark’s sword, and I am his Queen wife. I charge you to protect your family with his own sword.”
Queen Jeyne Stark made an offer that Ser Olyvar cannot refuse. He took the sword from her forgiving hands.
“What will you call it?” she asked.
“What do you mean?”
“A name. Robb never named his sword. But a good sword should have a good name.”
“I was told by my half-brothers that only cun–, I mean only women name their swords. I will let you name it, my Grace. How should we honor our late King Robb Stark?”
“It is honor,” Jeyne replied.
Confused, Olyvar asked, “What is honor?”
“A sword. This sword.”
Before the sun had dawned, Ser Olyvar Frey with Honor slung on his back, climbed down the castle walls with rope, swam under the moat again, and departed the birthplace of his King, Robb Stark, as a knight.
He returned to the Twins, keeping his knighthood a secret. When Riverrun had fallen to Ser Jaime Lannister, Edmure Tully had agreed to be a prisoner at Casterly Rock. Roslin Tully volunteered to join her husband, giving them a chance to raise a family together, even as hostages. Olyvar, their brother Perwyn and half-nephew Alesander all agreed to escort Lady Tully to the Westerlands. Although they told their half-family they would take the land-route for their journey; Olyvar, Perwyn, Alesander and Roslin had a different Frey destiny in mind. After the Kingslayer’s threat to Roslin’s unborn child, there was no day they would ever stay at Casterly Rock nor return to the Twins. They departed for the coast and reunited with Ser Brynden Tully, Lady Maege Mormont and Lord Galbart Glover aboard the Motherfunker.
Before Ser Brynden escaped Riverrun alone, he and Lord Tully reviewed all their options during Edmure’s short visit. An escape on land had many risks to be recaptured or killed, but at sea it was far fewer … and having a faster ship helped. They would allow Edmure and Jeyne to be peacefully escorted by their captors to Casterly Rock as hostages, only to be rescued from the shoreline. Lady Sybell Spicer swore her brother Ser Rolph would lead the way inside the caves. “Honor, not honors,” were House Westerling’s words. And Robb Stark showed more honor to Lady Sybell’s family than any of the other Westermen could. King Robb made her daughter a Queen, while King Tommen gifted Ser Rolph with the cursed ruins of Castamere from the notorious Lannister song. This honor was more of an insult than a reward.
One night aboard the Motherfunker, Olyvar took out a fresh new flat parchment to write a letter that was meant for his father. He held his feathered quill upright, but did not know how to start. He was fidgeting as he stared up around his cabin. He began to tap the pointy end of the quill and pricked his other hand by chance. Frey blood began to trickle from the wound along with a stinging pain. Cashing in on the moment, he then knew what to say. He dipped the blood smeared quill into the black inkpot, and began to pour his soul & anger onto the kin he no longer wanted.
Father, I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel. I focus on the pain, the only thing that is real. The needle tears a hole. This old familiar family sting. I try to forget it all the way. But I remember everything. I find myself asking … “What have I become? My sweetest King? Will everyone I love go away in the end?” And Father, you can have it all. My empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make it hurt. If I could start again, many miles back at home that night. To save my King, I would sacrifice myself. I would find a way. Your son Olyvar.
He rolled the parchment and laid a tablespoon of wax from his tallow candle at the edge. Olyvar pressed the button with his bleeding thumb, filling the stamp in a marble of white, red and pink; sealing it with his own blood. He placed the rolled parchment in his breast pocket, hoping to leave it somewhere in Casterly Rock and eventually reaching his father’s hands.
On the deck of the Motherfunker a few nights before … crewmen, Riverlands and Northern loyalists sang, drank, and cheered to the music of the masterplan. Though most wanted to spill blood to avenge the Red Wedding, humiliating their enemies would be the sweeter revenge: the story that sings in songs. But not all were there for vengeance. Some were just there for the adventure.
The Captain of the Motherfunker was there for the honor of joining their song. He wanted to look into the eyes of the lion, be a part of the thrill of the fight, rising up against our rivals. He also owed Ser Rolph Spicer a favor from their long smuggling history together at sea. If he helped rescue his niece Jeyne from the rocky castle, he would consider the debt paid, and the Black Sparrow was happy to oblige.
“So we are here to rescue this princess? No?” Samullu spoke in the broken Common Tongue
“No, not a princess, she is a queen,” Olyvar chatted.
“In the Summer Isles, a princess and a widowed queen is the same person. My father was king, but he died when I was a babe. My princess mother was the one who raised me after my uncle took the throne. I loved my mother. I named my swanship for her after she died a few years ago.”
“Motherfunker?” Olyvar asked. “What is a funker?”
“Where I am from, fighting and dancing is called the same thing. We call it funk. We funk to fight, we funk to dance, and we also funk to love. And the skill of our funk we always inherit from our mother’s side. I got it from my mama.” The black single-eyed captain pleaded. “Yo got yo from yo mama too. ‘Motherfunker’ is just a homage to one’s mother for giving us this art of our body’s motions.”
Olyvar never knew his mother, but he was very intrigued to hear more about Samullu’s and their culture. They chatted for quite a while.
Olyvar thanked him for helping them. But Samullu insisted it was the right thing to do after hearing about the horrors of the Red Wedding. “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers! And yo will know I am the Captain when I lay my vengeance upon thee!”
Olyvar never knew the Black Sparrow was so pious to the gods of avengers.
Sharing rum together, Olyvar sung to him about his own story in depth. Captain Black Sparrow was impressed about his journey so far and he gave Olyvar a small jar of dirt. “This is soil from my empire back in the Summer Isle. I have a whole barrel of it to remind me of home. Here, take this other small gift as well.” He then took out a bird’s feather, long as a flute, bright and colorful. “We Summer Isle people have feathered cloaks, yo see it on all of us. But feathers like this one were meant for some of the bravest and baddest motherfunkers out there. I want yo to take it Ser Olyvar. Let it be yo warrior’s funk.”
Olyvar took it with his hand and gave it a warm stare. The feather was colored like a fading rainbow top to bottom, but the stem was yellow like a lemon. “Thank you.” The gifts were quite odd. By value it was not much, but it seemed like it meant a lot to the exiled prince, the type of gifts worth remembering.
“So what do yo need besides a miracle?” Samullu asked.
“Weapons. Bows and arrows. Lots of arrows.” Olyvar was serious.
“Aye, and I have a lot. Yo know, no one has ever done anything like what yo and the Blackfish’s men are about to do.”
“And that is why it will work.”
The plan was to allow Lord Edmure Tully and Queen Jeyne Stark to safely travel to Casterly Rock unmolested, under the command of Ser Forley Prester and his four hundred men. Lord Gawen Westerling and his son Rollam were to return to the Crag, but Lady Sybell was to stay with Jeyne, maintaining what deceptions she can conjure. Her bluff with Ser Jaime Lannister worked, earning the slightest trust from them before their escape at Casterly Rock. An attempt to rescue them on their path down the River Road would invite the Lannisters to execute the hostages on the spot, failing the objective’s purpose. To stealthily hunt down each soldier one by one would have proven even then, a mission of the impossible. Stirring fear in the hearts of the Lannister soldiers was the only solution, the effective psychological weapon. Ser Prester’s men have been haunted by the ghosts of the Brotherhood without Banners throughout the Riverlands, and the Blackfish would use that to his advantage. With the help of their fastest horse, Bubbles, mounted by Justin Smallister, a distant cousin to House Mallister of Seagard, he would tie empty nooses on trees ahead of Ser Forley’s route. The hope of the hoax would keep the Lannisters on edge, making it difficult to rest. Only when they reached the castle of Casterly Rock, they would drop their guards down, thinking the hard part was over. But on the exact evenfall on the day of their arrival, Lord Gawen Westerling and our small land forces, hidden in the eastern woods outside, would sound the trumpets and drums, drawing the weary soldiers to arms again. But the Blackfish was to infiltrate Casterly Rock from the western sea. Ser Rolph Spicer, our secret agent inside, will bond with Jeyne’s guards, drinking with them throughout their journey. Only on the hour of the escape, Ser Spicer would drug the guards’ ale, allowing them to fall asleep during the diversionary music. The Blackfish and his squad would provide armed escort, if needed. Ser Spicer would also help them navigate inside the caves, rescuing his niece Jeyne and their family back to the Motherfunker. By then, it would be too dark for the Lannisters to give chase into the ocean, if they even realized Queen Stark had flown off.
“I need twenty good men,” the Blackfish had demanded. A few hundreds of the remaining Stark loyalists and outlaws gathered at the docks, where the Motherfunker was anchored.
“And one more woman too!” the She-Bear crone proclaimed.
The men laughed in agreement as Ser Brynden continued. “I need volunteers only. Soldiers who want this fate to fuck them from behind in their arses! For the twenty one of us, we will be in harm’s way, make no mistake about it. I do not expect us to be discovered, but if we were, our escape will not be easy like our brothers working the diversion in the woods. I need men quick on their feet, proficient with the bow, and skilled at close-quarter hand-to-hand combat. Who are my brave men that will be knocking on the Lannister’s doors?”
Ser Olyvar Frey thundered in first and raised his hand. Jeyne’s words echoed in his thoughts, Promise me Olyvar, promise me.
Alesander Frey surprised him. “No you fool! You are not a skilled fighter. Put your hand down!” Olyvar told his nephew.
“I am a grown man, and I will not miss this adventure for nothing,” Alesander protested to his uncle.
“You are just a singer.”
“Then I want to be a witness to this great deed and be the first singer of our new song.”
Olyvar could not stop his brother & nephew from doing something so stupid.
Ser Raynald Westerling the Seashell Knight raised his hand too, eager to save his sisters Jeyne and Eleyna, and his mother Sybell.
Others began to join. Some had their reasons, some had their vengeance, some just wanted to try something new.
Fess stepped up. He was a long lost uncle to Ser Addam Marbrand after a lengthy voyage at sea. But Ser Addam refused to believe him, denying him a small chunk of land near Ashemark that Fess was entitled to own. He called his uncle an imposter and casted him out of the region. Fess swore he was a Marbrand, and swore he would unleash a storm on their household if they did not give his piece of land back. To the future of reclaiming his name by shaming theirs, Fess Marbrand was recruited into our efforts against the Lannisters and their bannermen.
The Summer Islander, Ben, and his Westerosi-born son, Benjen, were farmers from the Neck. Years ago, Lord Rickard Stark had welcomed the immigrant and his wife, granting them farm lands to flourish in. They grew rice in the marsh and exported it from White Harbor. They were so grateful to House Stark that they quite frankly named their son “Benjen” for Lord Stark’s youngest child of similar age. Since then, their hard earned work with their rough black hands in the cold had paid off in prosperity. After being widowed, Ben and his son ran the farm, just the two of them … until a few Ironborn men took Moat Cailin and all their harvest this past year. Their will and pride refused to let them take it again. So instead of growing new rice, they let it wither away and left the land … trapping the jaws of the Ironborn to hunger. Now Ben and Benjen were reborn into Ser Brynden’s band, for the honor of House Stark. “With great honor comes a great ass whooping!” Ben had declared.
Jess and Jory were two brothers that served House Westerling as guards at the Crag, personally protecting the Westerling sisters, Jeyne and Eleyna. They had watched them grow up since birth. Participating in their rescue was their duty, a duty they took without hesitation for the girls who were like nieces to them.
Phyl was a crewmate of royal blood on the Motherfunker. Back on another Summer Isle kingdom, his older king brother passed away as his young prince nephew took fresh rule. After Phyl forbade his nephew-king to order an attack on a rival neighboring island, he screamed at him, “You are not my father!” and flew out of the throne room, slamming its double doors. Soon after, the boy-king ordered for his uncle’s exile. Free like a bird, Phyl flew away himself to a ship with his friend, the Black Sparrow, looking for a new adventure.
Sam, June, and Rico were all hard loyal Tully soldiers that were ready to follow the Blackfish to the end of the world. Sam used to be a tall fat leviathan of a man, until one day June told Sam, “You never had the making of a first-class athlete like Rico here.” From then on, Sam, offended, lost several stones over the years as the three served patriotically together to House Tully. Now tall, lean and muscular, Sam was a force not to be reckoned with. They nicknamed him Sam the Shredder, but for shredding his fat as his body was now packed with muscular meat.
The hedge knight Ser Barnabus the Goose volunteered along with his new squire Leo, a boy of fourteen, whom he met that same day. Goose was a tall man, big shoulders, wide hips with greying blond hair. Though he grew up as an orphan, Ser Barnabus often boasted about being the grandson of some legendary tall hedge knight that he never chanced to meet. The other orphans used to laugh at him, calling him the Useless Goose. But ever since he suited up in his knightly armor decades ago, Ser Barnabus assured he was a useful Goose helping the small folks around the Riverlands. Olyvar wondered if Barnabus was his real name, or if he was even a knight.
Leo’s older brothers wanted to join the action as well … so Mikkal, Raff, and Donal stepped forward. Their uncle Scrooge, a man in his fifties, will chip in his services too. The four brothers and uncle were known as the Pissa family. They once owned a tavern serving their mother’s recipe of baked thin crispy bread, spun circular into a flat pie, served with tomato sauce and cheese above. Their uncle Scrooge improved his sister’s recipe by adding sliced duck sausages on top of the cheese, and charging customers extra for the option. Olyvar and the men on the Motherfunker had sampled and enjoyed the cuisine they baked aboard. Captain Samullu claimed that pissa was indeed a tasty dish, and suggested adding slices of pineapples on top of it too. The Pissa brothers gave Samullu Jaqenssen a cold stare as if the gesture was treason to the recipe. Back when they owned the tavern with their mother, the family often boasted about their food to the point where their competitors despised them. Their opponents would try to mimic cooking the same dish, but others would complain it tasted no different than bread. Afraid of losing their revenue, they insulted their mother’s crispy dish by calling it “pissa,” slandering it by saying it tasted like piss. But the brothers took the name their enemies gave them and wore it like armor, never allowing it to hurt them. Raff returned their insult by calling their adversary’s food being something that comes out of a cow’s bung hole. That humiliation stuck. For a while, men and women from all over the Riverlands continued to rallied in long lines to the Pissa tavern for a delicious slice of pissa. Sadly one day, the Mountain and his men came to destroy their tavern during the war, and took their mother. They never saw her again. Despite the sad drama, the Pissa family were a cheerful bunch, save for their pessimistic uncle. Olyvar could only hope they would find their mother safe and sound some day.
On the first day aboard the Motherfunker, Leo had never been on a ship his entire life. He bolted to the stern of the galley, stood on the middle rail with his arms spread out and screamed, “I’m the king of the world!”
Olyvar had to grab the blond teen down before he fell overboard. “Nice try Leo,” Olyvar said. “But you are too lowborn to be royalty. You are better off marrying a queen to be a king, or at least start with a princess.”
Ser Barnabus the Goose appeared and offered his help. He was in need of a squire for some reason, and Leo was quite eager. “Leo, I’m going to teach you how to live.” Goose swung his arm around the teenager’s neck and rested it there. “You want to be a king and win the ladies? Learn how to squire for a knight first. Unchain and fetch me my stallion from the docks, I’ll show you a trick. I’ll show you how to ride it on this rocking ship!” Leo did as he was ordered.
“And when will I ever need that skill?” Leo questioned as he brought the horse up to the deck from the ramp.
“What was it you were looking for again on this journey? Your destiny? Your death?” Goose mounted.
“Naked princesses,” Leo said.
“Well this move would make any maiden, royal or lowborn, shed their clothes off for you.” The knight pulled down the reins as the stallion stood tall on its two hind legs, looking like a work of art meant for eternal statues of the gods.
Samullu appeared and asked Leo, “Is that Goose on a horse? On my boat? Why is Goose on a horse on my boat?!” The stallion came down, hooves thundering the top of the deck.
“Aye Captain, Ser Goose was teaching me how to pick up women.”
“Shiitt Leo, that’s all you had to say.” Samullu wrapped his right arm around the neck of the youth and offered his counsel, his left hand danced in the air as he spoke to solidify his argument. “If yo want naked women, fuck land. Don’t be a knight. Be a captain of a galley. The best pick up line to catch any woman yo can, is ‘I own a ship’.” Samullu raised his bearded chin. “After this mission is over, come with me and we’ll sail the seas. Meet women from all over the world. And they love a captain. Do yo concur? Leo, each lady is just a flower, another rose by another name that smell just as sweet, waiting to be plucked.”
Goose winced at the word and protested. “The only maids you meet sailing seas are mermaids. Don’t be fooled by the Black Sparrow. Some of them may be pretty on the top half, but you won’t like what they got below. It probably stinks down there too. But the captain doesn’t mind, he seems to enjoy bedding mermaids!”
Whether sea, air or land … the Black Sparrow or Goose … Leo will probably have to fly with one of them after the mission, Olyvar thought.
The night before the rescue, the raiders and the crewmen drunkenly sang and cheered to music, rum, ale and pissa. Drowning in the glory of their task on the morrow, they reminisce about the harsh archery and lethal weapons training Lord Glover had given them over the past weeks back on land … while questioning how large Lady Mormont’s sacs truly were. Lady Roslin Tully, approached everyone and asked if they would write their names on the book she held. “It’s for the memories,” she said. They all did. A signature on each page for each man and Maege. Some drew their own personal coat of arms. When it was Olyvar’s turn, he hesitated about sketching the two towers. He wanted to separate himself from the murderous lore of House Frey. He decided to draw his towers, with a Stark wolf running on top of the bridge, and a Tully trout jumping below it. He signed his name, Ser Olyvar of House Frey, squire to the late King Robb Stark, knighted by Ser Brynden Tully.
He wondered if he will be written into history as a great knight some day. A knight that could not save his king, Olyvar thought sadly. He would not be the only one though. Word had travelled for Ser Loras Tyrell, the Knight of Flowers, and his gallant assault at Dragonstone. He was gravely wounded, but no word on this brave knight’s final fate. Like Olyvar, Ser Loras had failed to protect his first King, Renly Baratheon, a man that the Knight of Flower was rumored to have truly loved. Though his King was gone, he continued to be bathe in the glory of battle. Despite being on the opposing side of the war, Ser Olyvar would be gay if he had the chance to meet Ser Loras, if he still lives, chatting with him about the kings they loved and lost.
Later on that night, Captain Samullu Jaqenssen shared a drunken game of cvyasse with Ser Barnabus for a golden dragon. When Goose doubled down after his first loss, he fell again, owing the Black Sparrow a pair of golden dragons by the end of it. When Samullu demanded Goose to pay up his reward immediately, Goose pretended not to understand his loose Summer Isle accent, giving him a wild chase.
“Wat?”
“Yo loose Goose, yo owe me the gold,” the Captain demanded in his queer Common Tongue.
“Wat?”
“The gold yo fool. The gold! Yo pay me.”
“Wat?”
“Wat country yo from?”
“Wat?”
“Do they not speak the Common Tongue in Wat?”
“Wat?”
“Common Tongue mother Goose!”
“Wat?”
“Say wat again! I dare yo, I double dare yo! I’ll throw yo overboard off the Motherfunker!”
Goose paused for a moment, until his pride could not resist. “Wat? Wat? Wat? Wat? Wat?” Goose said ‘what‘ so many times, it sounded like he was quacking, each one louder than before. “Wat? Wat? Wat? Wat? Wat?”
In a nick of fury, Samullu Jaqenssen flipped over the cyvasse table, stood up and drew his short blade. His remaining good eye raged like a storm, as steam seeped through the black leather patch of the other. “Yo cold ass honking Goose! Yo son o’ a whore! Yo bandit! I will gut yo from balls to brains to see what gooses is made of. I better find yo sacs golden before I take yo skull to gild gold! Either way, I will have my gold from yo!”
Goose suddenly comprehended everything, stood up with all his height and threatened. “Goodness gracious, do you kiss your mother with that mouth? Go ahead and try, but you will only find below me great balls of fire!” He grabbed his own crotch and pumped it once into the air. “And after your failed attempt, I will claw out your last remaining eye, leaving you blind for the rest of your sorry life!”
The others flocked towards the scene, holding the two back as they inched towards each other.
Jess tried to stop them. “Gods, have mercy!”
Sam the Shredder intervened as well. “That is enough! I want you two to stop!”
Jory said, “Cut it out!”
“Will yo shut up!” screamed Phyl, who had hustled a wager on the game.
Mikkal grabbed the drunken Goose, threw him to the floor, and told him to just beat it.
At the end, they all just laugh it off like all drunk men do. Smiling, spilling ale out of their cups, retching out into the sea the rum they drank, before drinking some more again. They were having one last good time before the mission. But today they had a job to do.
The twenty men, Lady Maege, and Ser Rolph continued up the paths in the lightless caves of Casterly Rock, huffing and puffing, but still silent as much as they could hold. One loud word at the wrong place at the wrong time may be their doom. In single file, the group followed Ser Spicer’s point with one lit torch. The stench was terrible and the dampness made it worse. Guarding the rear, Olyvar’s eyes were clouded in darkness at times where the torchlight was too far ahead to shine back. He relied on Ser Goose in front of him to lead the way, as Goose relied on Leo for the same.

Happy Monday, Barkada --

Shout-out to all the readers who wished me good luck with the weekend of celebrations. I survived with only a multi-day hangover! That's better than I thought would happen. I'm already playing with house money.
A huge thank you to all the readers who wrote in personally to show their support for MB in relation to this issue with disclosure and transparency. I didn't receive one negative message on the topic, just encouragement and appreciation. The two-day coverage of that issue took a lot out of me, but your notes filled me back up and even with a massive weekend hangover I'm back and ready to go.
Thank you all!

▌Main stories covered:

• [COMING_UP] The week ahead... Now that Citicore Renewable Energy [CREC 2.70; unch] has been listed, our market won’t have any scheduled domestic drivers until the BSP’s rate decision on June 27.
  PH: Wednesday is a non-trading day, and with as “meh” as the market’s been, I suspect that I’ll be getting more than the usual set of out-of-office replies. AREIT’s Q1 dividend pays out on Thursday, while MREIT’s Q1 dividend pays out on Friday.
  International: The US Federal Reserve will make its June interest rate decision overnight between Wednesday and Thursday.
  
  • MB: Nobody that I’ve talked to expects the Fed to do anything this meeting, and while I’m obviously going to be interested in the meeting minutes and the chatter around the decision and the analysis of the minutes, that’s basically the same position that we’ve been in for a long time already. The US has a very strong jobs market (and it has for quite some time) and the fear there is that strong demand for jobs will push up wages and provide inflationary risk.
• [UPDATE] Citicore Renewable Energy IPOs to a flat finish... Citicore Renewable Energy Corp [CREC 2.70 unch; 100% avgVol] [link] opened its trading life on the PSE on Friday up 1.8% with the first trades going through at ₱2.75/share. The per-share price ticked down slightly through the day and finished at the intraday low of ₱2.70/share, which was CREC’s IPO offer price. A little over 25 million shares traded hands, which is approximately 1% of the total public float. CREC has a stabilization fund.
  
  • MB: The PSE’s second IPO is in the books! CREC has been raising money like crazy to achieve its ambitious goal of having 5 gigawatts of capacity by 2028; this IPO is only the latest fundraise in a sequence of raises that started in September of last year with the US$100 million financing that it negotiated. CREC continued the spree with a ₱20 billion deal with RCBC [RCB 21.75 ▼0.2%; 68% avgVol] and a surprise sale of ₱5 billion worth of its subsidiary, Citicore Renewable Energy REIT [CREIT 2.82 ▼0.3%; 401% avgVol] to SM Investments [SM 840.00 ▼1.3%; 40% avgVol]. CREC is cashing up to build. CREC’s President, Oliver Tan, said that CREC’s goal is to “become the largest, if not the top three largest power generation companies in the Philippines, not only as a solar developer but also as a power generation company.” So far their actions and words are in alignment.
• [NEWS] Robinsons Land to sell ₱33.9-B of malls and offices to REIT subsidiary... Robinsons Land [RLC 15.74 ▲0.4%; 55% avgVol] [link] disclosed that its board of directors approved a property-for-share swap deal with its REIT subsidiary, RL Commercial REIT [RCR 5.20 ▲0.2%; 56% avgVol], that will send 11 malls and two office towers to RCR in exchange for 4.99 billion shares of RCR at a valuation of ₱33.9 billion. The implied per-share price of RCR in this deal is ₱6.80/share, which is a 30.7% premium over RCR’s Friday closing price. Once complete, the transaction will make RCR the PSE’s largest mall REIT.
  
  • MB: This is an enormous departure from RCR’s office-only strategy to this point, and a welcome one for shareholders considering the troubling performance of the commercial office sector in recent years and the lack of good news for any kind of pickup in the short- or medium-term. RCR hopes to get SEC approval for the transaction in FY24, but the SEC has not been very predictable when it comes to the approval times of these property-for-share swap transactions. Some are quick, while others seem to take an inappropriate amount of time to get approved. This transaction will lead to dividend growth, which (all other things being equal) should lead to RCR share price growth to balance out the yield. RCR is one of the cheapest REITs on the PSE in terms of its distributable income to price multiple.
• [NEWS] NexGen Energy IPO approved by the SEC... NexGen Energy [XGEN] [link] had its ₱500 million IPO registration approved by the SEC. XGEN is a subsidiary of Pure Energy Holdings Corp (PEHC), the energy generation holding company owned by Dexter Tiu that is also the parent company of Repower Energy Development Corp [REDC 5.40 ▲3.9%; 18% avgVol].XGEN operates solar and wind power plants through its subsidiary companies and plans to expand its portfolio to 2.35 gigawatts over the next 10 years. XGEN also plans to get into offshore wind development.
  
  • MB: The prospectus calls for a July 16th IPO, but we won’t know the actual dates until Mr. Tiu drives the application through the PSE’s approval process. Once the PSE approves, we’ll get a Preliminary Terms and Conditions notice from the PSE that will have all the material terms of the deal, including the pricing, offer, and listing dates. It’s still possible for XGEN to make adjustments at each stage along the way, but each hurdle like this SEC approval that XGEN passes increases the certainty of things. I’ll do a deep dive once we get that Preliminary Terms and Conditions notice!
• [NEWS] Ayala Corp appoints Erry Hardianto as CEO of AC Logistics... Ayala Corp [AC 596.50 ▼0.3%; 27% avgVol] [link] announced that will appoint Erry Hardianto as CEO of its subsidiary logistics holding company, AC Logistics (ACL), effective July 1. Mr. Hardianto will come to ACL with over 23 years of experience with Maersk in senior positions across SE Asia. AC said he has “successfully managed, grown, acquired and transformed complex multi-country logistics operations across Asia.”
  
  • MB: I’ve been calling for AC to get serious about logistics for a long time. I think this is just one step of many potential steps that AC could have taken in the right direction, but it’s a logical first step to make. I think it’s interesting that AC made such a big deal about mentioning Mr. Hardianto’s ability to manage, grow, acquire, and transform complex logistics operations. I hope this suggests that they’ve got big plans for this unit that go beyond the tepid organic growth of its logistics interests in AyalaLand Logistics [ALLHC 2.03 ▼1.0%; 59% avgVol]. There are a ton of interesting acquisition targets sitting out there, ready to get rolled up by a deep-pocketed conglomerate with the vision to do so. Lots of conglos have kicked the tires here. Is AC going to be the one to actually do it?

I (31F) stopped eating meat in my early twenties because I was at risk of gastrointestinal obstruction and went to the hospital several times, and even once needed surgical intervention. I was unable to slow down when I ate (basically inhaled my food) and therefore was not chewing the chunks of meat which would then get stuck in my gut (pyloric obstruction or lower GI obstruction causing constipation/obstipation). Meat require to be chewed and broken down in the acid of the stomach but my eating speed would not permit that. I never ate enormous amount of food and had a normal weight but it would be EXTREMELY embarrassing for me to go out in restaurant/date because I would eat too fast. I have tried numerous technique to slow down but as soon as the plate would be in front of me I would forget everything and finish my plate often before anyone took their first bite. I also had other weird feeding habits such as waking up in the middle of the night to eat, or disliking any “breakfast” food and preferring to eat dessert or typical dinner food in the morning. Two years ago, I had a perforation of a peptic ulcer and several complications. I was on many anxiety/depression/etc medication and was also drinking a lot and doing cocaine. Generally having a hard time after the death of my sister one year prior to that. I then decided to go to therapy/rehab to get sober. Thats when I started to eat meat. Started with fish, then chicken then red meat. I am doing great now and have been sober for few months. I almost completly forgot why I was not eating meat to begin with. Last week, I came back to live with my mother in my childhood home (I went abroad to study in my teens and did not came back until now). As we were taking daily dog walks, people from the neighborhood started approaching me with old stories from when I was a child (Its a tight knit community where everyone is friendly). I have an excellent memory and thought I remembered everything from my childhood, so I was surprised to hear that when I was in elementary school I would go into people’s house to ask to be fed. Multiple times, almost every day. I DO NOT recall doing that, but of course when hearing the stories I would be embarrassed and laugh it off awkwardly. Now it’s been the third person to tell me that since I came back. Almost as if everyone remembers me only as the child who would go from doors to doors to be fed! I even would let myself in and go straight to the fridge to eat. My mother and grand mother laughed it off and said that I was indeed doing that and everyone knows about it. Now, my parents are not poor by any means and we live in a normal house. They would always say I was so spoiled because my grandmother and aunt would give me expensive gift at christmas/birth day etc. From what I can recall, my parents were almost never home but would leave money for me to buy food. What about when I was too young to order food/go to the store? Did I go hungry? It is really troubling for me because I knew my parent to be neglectful (I went to youth center at 14yo because I “lacked structure/authority”) but I never thought I was not having enough to eat. I remember clearly having desserts/snack as well as microwable meals. And would eat desserts for breakfast. I would also wake up before everyone so the others couldn’t take them. I just realised that I had a very unhealthy relationship with food probably because I went hungry when I was young. I don’t even remember it!
I have been eating meat now and much slower, I even have leftovers to put back in the fridge for later (which was not the case previously, I always finished my plates). After 9 years, being vegan. Countless ER visits. 1 operation. Getting help. I am finally free to eat all the good stuff and be at peace. But really, back in the days, parents got away with so much. How a whole neighborhood just decided to feed a hungry kid for years and not ask any questions?

Hi, I have a pattern I just bought and I am struggling because I think there may be a language barrier and I don’t think I can get a response from the pattern writer (I did reach out any way).
Basically it is a filet pattern, and you start with a long chain, then attach with a slip stitch to make a circle, then go back over the whole thing with a row of single crochet. My first question is, no where in the pattern does it say to chain and turn, but from my understanding that is something that normally is a good idea with working in the round in crochet. So should I just continue in a straight line or chain and turn? It then says after this to slip the row together.
My other question is that it’s working in double crochet + 1 chain. And the design is shown by using 2 double crochet instead of the 1dc + 1c. My problem is that it doesn’t say or imply anywhere that the double crochet + 1c means I skip a stitch but in the finished photos it looks like that’s what’s done. I did the whole first row and it isn’t even half way across so im assuming that’s the case? I am just wondering if these things are implied or if it could be a language thing. The first couple of times I implied what a pattern meant I was very wrong so I usually like to just stick to exactly what the pattern says but it’s looking like this one might be an exception.
Would love any help or advice with this! I am not a beginner at crochet but I do knit more now, but this is my first time doing a filet. Thanks!

As the title alludes, I made a mistake yesterday. I have 5 girls all raised together since I got them: 2 sapphire gems, 1 buff Orpington, 1 Americana (she’s unique looking compared to others I’ve seen), and a small black hen and I don’t know what she is as she’s not what I ordered but I love her anyways. The little black one is the least problematic and the most calm. My buff Orpington is the friendliest and often comes to hangout on the arm of my chair while I work on my computer when I’m outside. The sapphires have a mind of their own, and one of them is head hen. The Americana is the devil incarnate. All my girls get along very well and have never had an issue that I’ve observed - and I’m home a LOT working on my graduate thesis and they free range while I work outside.
Anyways, I got notified of a chicken who was apart of an abuse case. I was asked if I could provide her a home. I went to meet her and brought her home. I put her into a very large dog cage, no bottom so her feet could touch the grass, provided her with food, water, and some treats (black soldier fly larvae). I made sure the back of the dog cage was against a wall and large enough so she would be able to get away if any of my girls decided to pick on her. It was going smoothly until later in the evening. I changed her water but didn’t completely lock the dog cage. This is entirely my fault but she got out and my girls went after her. The scared her so bad she flew onto my neighbors roof. I eventually got my girls into their coop and calmed them. In the very late hours of the night I got a the new girl to come down and got her into the dog cage for the night.
I moved the new hen to my garage with fresh food, snack, water, partial covered the cage and added a blanket too make her more comfortable, and set a fan out to blow cool air on her. My girls have calmed down as has this new girl. I realize I made a terrible mistake bringing a singular chicken home the other day. And I set her up for failure. She is absolutely (I suspect a Barnevelder) beautiful despite her previous life. I have since contacted someone I know who loved chickens, has substantial property and income, and can give her, her own coop and possibly a rooster to keep her company long term. This individual who can take her will never eat her and will be able to provide a high quality of life for her too. I really just want what’s best of her and for her to be safe long term. Anyways, my naivety and inexperience took over. To this new hen, I’m sorry I failed you. Please forgive me.
Note: all my girls are about 4.5 months old. This knew hen is estimated to be a little under 5 months.

Hi all, do you have any recommendations for a FREE pattern for a bucket hat? I would love to make one for my friend as a birthday gift. Also looking for recs for yarn to use that are perfect for the heat! She loves a dark green colour (if that helps). TIA!

The Ultimate Guide to the Best Low-Fat Diet for Weight Loss
Introduction
Several diets offer quick and effective results in the pursuit of weight loss. Among these, the low-fat diet has garnered significant attention for its potential to help individuals shed pounds while promoting overall health. This ultimate guide will explore what a low-fat diet entails, identify the best low-fat foods for weight loss, discuss who might benefit the most from such a diet, and consider potential risks. The main objective of this guide is to help you understand how to include a low-fat diet in your lifestyle to achieve your weight loss goals.
What is a Low-Fat Diet?
A low-fat diet emphasizes reducing fat intake, particularly unhealthy fats such as saturated and trans fats, while encouraging the consumption of healthier carbohydrates and proteins. Nutritionists strongly recommend consuming less than 30% of total daily calories. Health and fitness experts have demonstrated that fats containing too many calories lead to obesity; it is, therefore, crucial to reduce fat intake in order to achieve your weight loss goals.
Clinical Studies have shown that incorporating low-fat diets into your meal plan is the most effective weight loss strategy. For example, a comprehensive review published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that individuals following low-fat diets experienced significant weight loss over a year compared to those on higher-fat diets. Furthermore, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that individuals focus on healthy eating patterns, including low-fat options, to maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Low-Fat Foods: A Detailed Look
Incorporating the right low-fat foods into your diet is crucial for weight loss and overall health. Here's a closer look at some of the best low-fat foods you should consider:
Leafy Greens
Leafy greens such as spinach, kale, and lettuce are low in calories and fat but rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. For instance, a cup of raw spinach contains only about seven calories and virtually no fat, making it an excellent addition to salads, smoothies, and meals. Leafy greens also contain fiber, which helps reduce overall calorie intake.
Fruits
Fruits like apples, oranges, and berries are naturally low in fat and rich in essential nutrients and antioxidants. For example, a medium contains approximately 95 calories and below 0.5 grams of fat. These fruits not only satisfy sweet cravings but also provide a substantial amount of fiber, which aids in digestion and weight management.
Beans and Legumes
Beans and legumes, such as lentils, chickpeas, and black beans, are fantastic sources of plant-based protein and fiber with very low-fat content. A cup of cooked lentils provides around 230 calories and less than 1 gram of fat. Beans and legumes can be served in many dishes, from soups and stews to salads and side dishes.
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are a nutritious, low-fat carbohydrate source that provides dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. One medium sweet potato contains about 103 calories and below 0.2 grams of fat. They are an excellent alternative to regular potatoes and can be baked, mashed, or roasted.
Tart Cherry Juice
Tart cherry juice has potential health benefits, including improved sleep and reduced muscle soreness. It is low in fat and can be a refreshing addition to your diet. An 8-ounce serving of tart cherry juice has about 140 calories and negligible fat content.
Cruciferous Vegetables
Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts contain low calories and fat but are rich in high fiber, vitamins, and phytochemicals with cancer-fighting properties. A cup of cooked broccoli has approximately 55 calories and below 0.5 grams of fat.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms are another excellent low-fat food that can enhance the flavor and texture of various dishes. A cup of sliced raw mushrooms has around 15 calories and almost no fat. When exposed to sunlight, mushrooms are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, particularly vitamin D.
Garlic
Garlic adds a burst of flavor to meals and offers numerous health benefits. It is deficient in calories and fat, with one clove containing just four calories and negligible fat. Garlic is essential since it promotes heart health and immune function.
Ancient Grains
Ancient grains like quinoa, farro, and barley are nutritious and low in fat. Quinoa, for instance, provides about 220 calories per cooked cup with only 3.5 grams of fat. These grains are high in protein and fiber, making them an excellent base for salads, bowls, and side dishes.
White Lean Fish
White lean fish such as cod, haddock, and tilapia are excellent protein sources with deficient fat. A 3-ounce serving of cooked cod contains approximately 90 calories and less than 1 gram of fat. These fish are versatile and can be baked, grilled, or steamed.
Chicken Breast
Chicken breast is among the proteins that are rich in low fat. A 3-ounce serving of skinless, cooked chicken breast contains approximately 140 calories and 3 grams of fat. It is versatile in various dishes, from salads and wraps to main courses.
Low-Fat Dairy
Low-fat dairy products such as skim milk, low-fat yogurt, and reduced-fat cheese are rich in essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D with reduced fat content. A cup of skim milk has about 90 calories and virtually no fat. These products can be enjoyed as snacks or part of balanced meals.
Egg Whites
Egg whites are a low-fat, high-protein food. One large egg white contains approximately 17 calories and below 0.1 grams of fat. They can be used in various dishes, from omelets to baked goods, to boost protein intake without adding fat.
Who Might Benefit from a Low-Fat Diet?
A low-fat diet can benefit individuals, particularly those aiming to lose weight or manage specific health conditions. People with heart disease, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure may find a low-fat diet helpful in reducing their risk factors. Additionally, individuals looking to improve their overall diet quality by focusing on nutrient-dense, low-fat foods can benefit from this eating plan.
Studies have demonstrated the benefits of low-fat diets for weight loss and health. Numerous studies have demonstrated the significance of low-fat diets in weight loss. For example, research conducted by the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" found that low-fat diets are really effective in reducing weight and LDL cholesterol levels compared to those on higher-fat diets.
Potential Risks
While a low-fat diet can be effective for weight loss and health improvement, it's essential to consider potential risks. Too little fat can lead to deficiencies in essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Additionally, some low-fat diet plans may lead to over-reliance on processed low-fat foods, which can be high in sugar and refined carbohydrates.
Balancing fat intake by including healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil can help mitigate these risks. Focusing on whole, minimally processed foods is crucial to ensure adequate nutrient intake.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a low-fat diet suitable for everyone?
While many people can benefit from a low-fat diet, it may only suit some. However, individuals with underlying medical conditions or under medication should seek advice from a medical practitioner before including a low-fat diet in their meal plan.
How much fat should I consume on a low-fat diet?
A low-fat diet typically limits fat intake to less than 30% of total daily calories. A 2,000-calorie diet equals approximately 67 grams of fat daily, but the actual amount depends on individual needs and goals.
Can I lose weight on a low-fat diet?
Yes, a low-fat, balanced, calorie-controlled diet and regular physical activity are essential for weight loss. Low-fat foods can help create the calorie deficit necessary for weight loss.
Are all low-fat foods healthy?
Not all low-fat foods are created equal. While whole, natural foods like fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins are healthy low-fat options, many processed low-fat foods can be high in sugar and refined carbohydrates. Choosing whole, minimally processed foods for the best health benefits is essential.
What are some healthy sources of fat to include in a low-fat diet?
Avocados, mackerel, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish like salmon are healthy sources of fat that should be included in a low-fat diet. They provide essential fatty acids and promote overall health.
Conclusion
A low-fat diet can be powerful for weight loss and overall health improvement. By focusing on nutrient-dense, low-fat foods and maintaining a balanced approach to fat intake, you can achieve weight loss goals while supporting your body's nutritional needs. Remember, the key to success with any diet is consistency and making informed, healthy choices that align with your lifestyle and goals. As always, consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

is recruiting

in preparation for the imminent launch of Phase Four. We are a smaller, tightly-knit family of good friends who have been active in all eras of WoW since the launch of Vanilla in 2004. Many of us have transitioned to Lone Wolf from our parent guild on Grobbulus (Alliance), which has been active since the re-release of Classic in 2019. With the upcoming launch of Phase Four, we are looking to fill as many slots as possible to ensure we have a full roster for upcoming content.
To complete our roster we need approximately one tank (warlock would be great), couple of resto shamans, and some chunky DPS (mages for sure, maybe an spriest and can't have enough warlocks for MC). Currently we're farming ST on Wednesday nights at 8PM Server Time. We have more interest in one's personality and focus on adding to their community than we do in their ability to parse. If parsing is your thing, then by all means have fun, but our focus is and will be primarily on having fun clearing content.
I've been trying my damndest to cultivate an active community both in game and on Discord. I have no interest in someone who expects to show up for raid, get loot and disappear for the rest of the week, no matter how hard you might parse. We want people who are looking for a true home, people who will be active in voice chat and looking to participate in random BGs, World PvP events, etc. If you are looking for a large guild with many members online all the time, then this is not the place for you. We're very particular about the personalities we choose to keep amongst our ranks, and if one's attitude (while we have diversity in such) becomes counterproductive to the friendly atmosphere we've worked hard to promote, that's not going to fly. In the wisdom of Fergie circa 2005, "No no no no drama".
If this kind of environment sounds enticing to you, we'd love to talk. A lot of our guild is family with one another IRL, but we all treat one another as one little virtual family at the end of the day 💜 Feel free to reach out to myself in game @ Foodogs (foo.dogs) or my co-GM @ Karlorr (scantron2739) with any questions you might have.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Today I am 7 months on T and when I looked in the mirror naked I saw myself. It felt amazing and a little shocking.
For the first time in my entire life I didn't rush out of the shower to get dressed as quickly as possible because I couldn't handle seeing myself. I stopped and looked at the man looking back at me and it was...amazing. I like him. I like how he looks. My body shape is not female anymore, I have a male hair pattern and my chest has shrunk to the point where I look like a man with gynocomastia and definitely not a woman.
I love the man in the mirror. I even love that he's scrawny, has acne and kinda wide hips for a man. I love his stretch marks and the bags under his eyes. I love all his flaws because they are my flaws and I finally love myself.
This is so freeing, so amazing and a few years ago I never thought I would get here.
