UPDATE: Marvel has announced that the price on "Journey Into Mystery" will remain at $2.99. The cover art originally released was incorrectly created with a $3.99 price.
In the wake of Marvel NOW! and Marvel Comicsâ major title relaunches, today at the Marvel Next Big Thing press conference the comic book publisher took the time to announce another creative switch as Kathryn Immonen takes over from Kieron Gillen as the writer on the ongoing âJourney Into Mysteryâ series starting with issue #646.
Led by new âJourney Into Mysteryâ writer Kathryn Immonen and editor Lauren Sankovitch, the conference began as Sankovitch said they wanted to change up the focus of the book, now focusing on the Lady Sif rather than Loki.
âWe had it Loki-centric...going forward with #646 we wanted to mix it up a little bit,â Sankovitch said, adding, âSifâs been in the thick of it, sheâs a warrior born, sheâs got a lot of fight and verve and fire to her!â
âWe talked at length about what this story could be and what her story could be, and it all came down to...one single question: what does she want? I think Sif, above all, wants to be a better warrior,â Immonen said, joking, âShe makes a lot of good decisions and things turn out perfectly!â
On a more serious note, Immonen said Sif will be making bad choices in her quest to be a better warrior, saying that this would be a journey of self-discovery for the character as she has always been defined by the men around her, especially Thor and Heimdall.
Speaking of her first story arc, Immonen continued, âShe wants to be a better warrior and she goes to find that thing that is going to help her do that.â
âIn fact you might even say things go berserk!â Sankovitch laughed. âThere are consequences for everything and going berserk has its consequences,â she added.
Immonen reluctantly admitted readers will see some familiar faces popping up but said that the idea was to take characters from all over the annals of Asgardian history. âFamiliar faces, but nobody I think you would expect,â Immonen said.
The writer also confessed she felt âspoiledâ for choices when it came to writing the Asgardians. âThereâs an inevitability about them,â Immonen said, adding, âBecause they donât have alter egos theyâre almost more human in of themselves and makes them more interesting to write.â
Turning it over to press questions, Immonen described her take on Sif as a warrior who is trying to be something more.
âI donât think that sheâs just a warrior...weâve often seen her leading the charge but we havenât seen her in charge,â Immonen said. Laughing, she continued, âItâs kind of like my dog! My dog is a very committed hound dog! Heâs very committed to his path, but when he goes he assumes youâre right behind him...[Sif] just leaps and she never looks back, she just assumes theyâre as committed to the cause as she is.â
âThe other thing I find interesting...I see a similarity with her and Loki because neither of them can ever be Thor, and I think that would have more effect on her than anything else,â Immonen added.
Sankovitch then said the new series artist would be Italian artist Valerio Schiti, adding, âHe draws great beasties...heâs making a splash at Marvel.â
Immonen then told reporters she wasnât drawing directly on past Thor stories for her run. âSif has been an important but ancillary character and I think thereâs a lot of her that has yet to be explored,â Immonen said.
Touching on the movie version of Thor, Sankovitch said there still remained to be seen if elements of the movies trickle into the series.
âIf Marvel Studios wants to do something based on my book, I would be ok with that!â Immonen laughed.
Talking about her specific take on the book, Immonen praised Gillenâs arc and told reporters, âI love the tone of what he did, I even love the excess of prose!â
âHaving said that, my fervent hope is to follow with the same kind of spirit of adventure, and weâre looking at the Sif issue as a first arc,â Immonen said.
Tonally, Immonen said that she saw the Sif stories as more action-based than what has gone on in âJourney Into Mystery.â
âLauren and I are both determined that thereâs a lot of kicking ass and not taking names...sheâs an action fighter in a way that Loki is not,â Immonen said, adding, âTypically Iâd say what I do a little different than most is I donât use the talking to get to the fighting, I use the fighting to get to the talking.â
âMost definitely, the spirit of adventure and this fantastical realm that Gillen played with with Asgard and going to other worlds...and all of this mythology that he played around with,â Sankovitch added. âHopefully we give the readers some insight into characters that havenât had a chance to shine.â
Talking about real world Norse mythology and to what extent it will influence her run, Immonen said that the Marvel mythology has always veered away from the original myths, but there were subtle influences in her arc.
âThe Marvel Norse mythology plays so fast and loose with what exists...the influence is that I have this general feeling with this story and the character and their actions itâs underpinned with this idea that there are things that are even more ancient than we know about...and possibly more dangerous,â Immonen said.
As for what sort of beings Sif would be fighting in this new, action/adventure oriented âJourney,â Immonen brought the conference to a close by promising âlots of monstersâ in her run.
âBut she also falls in with a group of guys and they have a very interesting relationship,â Immonen added.
âShe finds herself with a group of warriors who has a different outlook on what is good and proper,â Sankovitch said. âThey really test how she sees herself and how she wants to comports herself going forward.â
âAnd lots and lots of monsters!â Sankovitch added.
âIâm writing that down, this is great!â Immonen laughed, ending the call.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- An attorney for California's teacher unions says tossing the state's tenure laws would be bad for students and teachers alike.
During closing arguments Thursday in a trial that seeks to dismiss the job protection of tenure, attorney James Finberg said doing so would leave teachers vulnerable to the whims of angry parents and ineffective administrators.
Attorneys for nine students who brought the lawsuit say that current law saddles students with incompetent teachers who are all but impossible to fire.
But Finberg says under-performing administrators who fail to run their districts well and supervise their teachers properly are the real problem. Of the nine students who brought the lawsuit, he says none were able to prove during two months of trial that they had ever had an ineffective teacher.
Closing arguments are expected to end Thursday but it is unclear when Superior Court Judge Rolf Treu will issue a ruling.

Three Words I Never Want To Hear Again!
Hush, hush, sweet...everyone! Stop saying the three words that seem to pop up in every conversation, interview, article, blog, and Facebook page these days, just because people are too lazy to come up with fresh, meaningful language.
Separately, these words scream "cliche," but when used together, they practically create a world health crisis.
And those words are...
Upcoming Events
and resonate.
It's really become an epidemic. I recently went to an event where you got to interview the creative team about their upcoming project, and every one of them seemed to be using some combination of those words, usually all three at once.
"It's an iconic journey that really resonates with audiences" was the most common utterance.
And of course, when you're drawing upon such musty verbiage, you can randomly switch the words around and it won't matter a bit. "It's a resonant journey that's becoming really iconic" would be perfectly fine. Or "It's a resonant iconography that becomes a significant journey."
And it never ends. The other day, I turned on the TV and someone was being interviewed about her own vehicle: "It's quite a journey," she said, as I instantly felt queasy. "We're basically taking iconic images..." Oh no! Don't say it! Hush!..."and we feel they resonate with audiences."
Oh, dear God. SHUT UP!!!!
I'm iconic and I've been on a very long journey and if anyone uses those words one more time, my screaming will resonate!

The new WP advertises that it now ships with a Tumblr Importer. But when I go to use it, I have to download the Tumblr importer (ok, fine) and I see it has been out for WP 3.2 and not updated since 2011-10-11.
How exactly is the WP 3.3 Tumblr Importer different from the WP 3.2 one? Or is this just advertising to let people know it exists?

I am having issues with my page load time on the initial visit to the site (www.mysite.com). Once the site loads it is normal speeds on the front end. I am also having issues with multiple users signed on via the backend where they are getting timed out of the site's backend. However I may have fixed this last issue by upgrading the site's PHP to version 5.4 (it was at 5.2) and increasing the upload_max and memory limits via the WP config and php.ini pages.
This is my first WP site and its being used as a CMS.
According to Google Insights/YSlow Grade, my site got an overall score of 88/89 (out of 100).
Reading this: http://gtmetrix.com/why-is-my-page-slow.html
I am assuming my code is good since I have not coded my own plugins and I'm using well rated WP plugins (paid and free), a theme framework (Thematic) and W3 Total Cache.
According to my web host (BlueHost.com) they are stating that my site is using over 7% of their CPU usage (they have 24 CPUs per server) and due to this over-usage that is why my site takes several seconds to load. They stated it was due to too many plugins on my WP site. I've never heard of a host claiming CPU usage and I've ran sites that used other programs- granted not WP- but these sites had a huge visitor count and we never ran into this problem with our web host.
However this is my first WP site I've made and I am using a lot of plugins so is the host valid? My host is a cheap, shared 'unlimited' host however it is rated as a good WP host according to WordPress.org's website. This was not a host I picked out- it was the client's choice. When the host was telling me about the usage issues they wanted me to upgrade to a PRO or VPS account.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

According to the Sunday Times annual listings, the seven time world champions (US) $823 million in career earnings is beaten only by golf legend Tiger Woods.
American Woods has earned $869 million in his own ultra-successful career, the newspaper found.
And the Sunday Times said the pair have each earned hundreds of millions of dollars more than other high-earning sportsmen, including Michael Jordan ($516m), Roger Federer ($316m) and David Beckham ($258m).
F1′s two other representatives, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen, were way down the top-twenty list, with their respective earnings at about $161 million apiece.
McLarens world champions Lewis Hamilton ($89m) and Jenson Button ($85m), meanwhile, appear only on the list for British sportsmen, and they are both outpaced by the $129m earned by former Ferrari driver Eddie Irvine mainly through property investment.
However, Hamilton and Button have each earned more in their careers than David Coulthard, Nigel Mansell, former BAR boss David Richards (all $80m) and Sir Jackie Stewart ($67m).
Those earnings, however, are all dwarfed by Bernie Ecclestones estimated $4 billion, although the 81-year-old F1 chief executive does not appear at all on the list of the worlds richest overall.
That list is headed by mega-earners like Sauber sponsor Carlos Slim, who according to the Sunday Times is worth $71 billion.

And this:
He's made some bad decisions but you don't make Formula 1 what it is today by simply making bad decisions. Also he made himself out of nothing, so that in my eyes deserves some respect. You guys need to read some books about people who have worked with him and for some reason they don't have anything bad to say about the guy.

Georgetown Prep's rigorous liberal arts curriculum is deeply rooted in Jesuit educational principles that go back to the 16th century—intellectual excellence, reflection, and personal responsibility. Yet our continuous adoption of the latest innovations in technology and teaching techniques ensures that our students develop the skills they need to succeed in the 21st century.
Prep's small class sizes, faculty involvement, and low student-to-teacher ratio foster an atmosphere of personal attention for every student. The close relationships that develop between students and faculty encourage learning that is meaningful and relevant.
Prep offers 24 Advanced Placement courses, and our students each take an average of four AP classes, with more than 80 percent receiving college credit. A range of electives introduces many students to new subject areas and allows others to pursue long-held passions.
The goal of our thoughtfully planned curriculum and intensive individual attention is to provide the very best college preparation possible.Assistant Headmaster: Mr. John Glennon, Jr. Dean of Faculty: Mr. Brian Gilbert

Bove Moves to Rafferty as Errant Apple Trade Rocks Rochdale
Dick Bove, the bank analyst whose employer, Rochdale Securities LLC, is struggling to survive after an unauthorized $1 billion Apple Inc. trade, will join Rafferty Capital Markets LLC.
Bove, 71, will lead research in financial services companies, Garden City, New York-based Rafferty said today in an e-mailed statement. Speculation about Bove's status swirled after regulators ordered Stamford, Connecticut-based Rochdale to halt operations because of losses on the Apple trade and five traders jumped to Rafferty.
"The firm is well-established and has a commitment to independent research, the type I've enjoyed producing for many years," Bove said in the statement.
Rochdale President Dan Crowley has struggled to hold onto his staff while seeking a deal to keep his 37-year-old brokerage afloat. Bove said previously that he wouldn't leave until Crowley "threw in the towel" on finding a rescuer. Crowley didn't respond to inquiries about the firm's fate.
Former Rochdale trader David Miller was charged this month with wire fraud in connection with the unauthorized trade, which caused a $5 million loss. He was released on $300,000 bail, prosecutors said. Kenneth "Casey" Murphy, Miller's lawyer at Simon & Partners LLP, declined to comment on the charges at the time.
Rafferty Losses
Rafferty, which is closely held, grew out of a company co-founded by Larry Rafferty in 1987, according to its website. The brokerage lost $3.2 million from continuing operations last year on revenue of $8.9 million after selling its bond businesses, according to a February filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Rochdale traders who defected to Rafferty included Kristen Talgo and Hal Tunick, who led institutional equities trading and held ownership stakes in Rochdale of as much as 25 percent each, according to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records.
Bove, who's worked in the securities industry since 1965, has moved markets with predictions about bank stocks. He cut ratings on Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Merrill Lynch & Co. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. to sell in May 2008, citing concern that earnings would falter.
Bove reversed his call on Lehman in August, three weeks before it filed for bankruptcy. Merrill Lynch sold itself to Bank of America Corp. and Goldman Sachs converted to a bank holding company from a securities firm.
Bove Bullish
Since the financial crisis, Bove has been largely bullish on the U.S banks. He said in an Oct. 18, 2010, Bloomberg Television interview that Citigroup Inc. shares might double in a "couple of years." The shares have dropped about 5 percent since to $39.46 at yesterday's close.
On Sept. 22, 2009, he called Bank of America's stock "incredibly cheap." Shares have since fallen 35 percent to $11.36 as of yesterday.
Bove left his previous brokerage, Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc., in 2009 after a disagreement with the Miami-based firm over settling a defamation lawsuit. He had been sued by BankAtlantic Bancorp over a report he wrote in August 2008 that said it might fail. The lender sold most of its assets to BB&T Corp., a Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based bank, this year.

I really needed to use up some of that tahini in my fridge, and this recipe was perfect. It has a really unique, earthy taste. Thanks for sharing.
I love this recipe! A rare 5 star review from me. Very simple and easy to prepare and I have nearly everything in my pantry already. Anything I don't have is fresh an inexpensive. This is a definite keeper, one I've made several times already.
So yummy! I had chick peas and tahini in the pantry and didn't know what to do with either, then found this recipe which was ideal and very delicious.

Discussion in 'Fantasy / Horror' started by Crispin, Jan 6, 2005.
i think that it is based on the world war, as many parts of the book point to this idea
Influenced by both World Wars most definitely, based on - I doubt it.
I don't think he sat down and thought, "hmmm - ok Mordor is Germany and North West Middle Earth is England" etc...
Like anyone in their formative years during both Wars it would be quite difficult NOT to be influenced in some capacity. Tolkien fought in the trenches in the Great War and was writing LOTR during the second, it would be kind of a challenge not to have his experiences spill over into his everyday existence let alone his writing.
Even as a kid, when I wrote my silly stories or drew my fantasy maps the West and North it seemed was always the "good" guys and East and South were always the "bad" guys. Did Tolkien influence me or my Social Studies teachers? Or both?
The only problem is that Tolkein himself directly repudiated the theory that he was writing based on WWII. He wrote in the introduction to the American versions:
"As for any inner meaning or "message", it has in the intention of the author none. It is neither allgorical nor topical. As the story grew it put down roots (into the past) and threw out unexpected branches; but its main theme was settled from the outset by the inevitable choice of the Ring as the link between it and The Hobbit. The crucial chapter, "The Shadow of the Past", is one of the oldest parts of the tale. It was written long before the foreshadow of 1939 had yet become a threat of inevitable disaster, and from that point the story would have developed along essentially the same lines, if that disaster had been averted. Its sources are things long before in mind, or in some cases already written, and little or nothing in it was modified by the war that began in 1939 or its sequels.
"The real war does not resemble the legendary saw in its process or its conclusion. If it had inspired or directed the development of the legend, then certainly the Ring would have been seized and used against Souron; he would not have been annihilated but enslaved, and Barad-dur would not have been destroyed by occupied. Saruman, failing to get possession of the Ring, would in the confusion and treacheries of the time have found in Mordor the missing links in his own researches into Ring-lore, and before long he would have made a Great Ring of his own with which to challenge the self-styled Ruler of Middle-earth. In that conflict both sides would have held hobbits in hatred and contempt: they would not long have survived even as slaves."
He adds a few more comments about his dislike of allegory and a little about his experience with WWI. So if the author himself is to be believed, if there is one thing this story is NOT based on, it is WWII. Scandinavian mythos and epic storytelling almost certainly were influential, however.
Like all writers, Tolkien created his world by writing what he knew about. So, of course his experiences in the war/s influenced some aspects of LOTR.
For example, the fact he was part of the cavalry regiment during WWI, birthed his love of horses and thus resulted in the Riders of Rohan and indeed, the love and respect for horses throughout his work.
His experience of friendship and love in his life, had a lot to do with the relationships between Sam and Frodo, Arwen and Aragorn and so on.
Tolkien loved the countryside and hated how industry raped the land, he was also a witness to the growth in machines in warfare, such as tanks and so on. This theme of war machines and the destruction of the countryside to build them and industry itself, is strong throughout LOTR.
So I would say I can see many 'influences' in LOTR, including the wars, but in answer to your question, I can't quite decide between 'Friendship' or 'Hope' as what the LOTR is based on.
It was most definently influenced by the war he was in at the time. He wrote little notes while he was in the middle of the war that helped him write "The Hobbit". See, the war was a traumatic experience for him because he witnessed all his friends die around it, which is why you'll notice why the series has a "hoplessness" sense about it. I watched a television show that was about Tolkien and why he wrote it. Most of it was tied in with the war.
You're right Mercapeman. He was in WWI, and his experiences there heavily influenced the writing of LOTR, particularly the relationship between Frodo and Sam mirroring that between a British officer and his "batman" (valet, assistant, etc.). However, I don't think the course of either WWI or WWII directly influenced the plot.
Hmmm... You may be right, only.... Well, the hoplessness part about had something to do with the war. The basic plot didn't have influence (the ring... yeah....).
Have you had a look at the LotR DVD Appendices? Some fascinating stuff there, some I knew about, some were revealing. They spoke to a number of Tolkien scholars and the view that comes across is that is that LotR is not allegory (where there is a one-to-one relationship between e.g. Hitler & Sauron, Germany & Mordor). He says as much in the introduction of LotR.
An inspiration was the Finnish epic "Kalevala"(sp?) but Tolkien wanted to write a similar literary heritage for the Anglo-Saxons that wasn't "Frenchified"; sort of a Kalevala for the English. He felt that William the Conqueror's victory in 1066 resulted in the 'Frenchification' of the British during which time much of Anglo-Saxon culture was lost; the oral traditions etc.
His experiences, growing up and of WWI clearly influenced him as a person and a writer too.
It is important to seperate out Tolkien's writings when considering what (if anything) they are based on.
They are all based to a greater or lesser extent on his invented languages. The languages came first. The creation of a world and history to support them came when he realised that a language could not exist in a void.
The Silmarillion is based on many things. Some of Beren and Luthien is based on feelings about his wife. Some of Turin is based on the Kalevala. The genesis for the legend of Earendil was from a single verse of old poetry that he came across. Elements from Norse myth and others also found their way into it. The legend of Numenor came both from his wish to write an Atlantis myth and a recurrent dream he had as a child (that was later given to Faramir).
The Hobbit is pretty much the old child out. Written solely as a story for his children it has only a passing connection to his (by that time well developed) mythos. The Hobbit has far more to do with conventional fairy tales than anything else although Riddle Games (as with Gollum) and Dragons with weak spots have Norse antecedents. Gandalf was based on a picture from a postcard that Tolkien came across and the names of the Dwarves from the Elda Edda (if I remember rightly).
The Lord of the Rings has elements taken from his WWI experience as already mentioned. In particular the Frodo and Sam relationship. The Aragorn/Arwen story has obvious overtones of Beren/Luthien and hence his relationship with his wife. His dislike of machinery and perhaps progress is bound in there pretty tightly too. The Rohirrim were based on the Anglo Saxons and their relationship with horses based on feelings that Tolkien had about what would have happened differently to England had the Saxons had cavalry when the Normans invaded.
Overall there were a myriad of influences on the works as is often the case.
I'm just reading some posts, especially the previous one.... very interesting
Based on? Well, in a direct sense, Norse mythology and the works of ER Eddison, Lord Dunsany and CS Lewis.
In an allegorical sense (though Tolkien claimed it wasn't allegory, I don't believe that he could write this completely objectively without his own opinions and experiences coming into it):
Possibly the Second World War - Mordor as Germany, Shire as Britain, Elves as America? Possibly. I don't think Tolkien was racist though, as some have claimed.
Modernisation and Industrialisation - probably. He shows the evil side with all of their industrialisation and promotes the image of the rural, agrarian past with the good side.
Some useful articles on Tolkien, and his influences:
Epic Pooh - Michael Moorcock
Article by M John Harrison
And finally, a much more controversial article on Tolkien:
China Mieville's article
In the Foreword to the book (the part before the prologue), Tolkien strongly denies that the book is allegory. He clearly denies that it is based on any of the World Wars.
I know - he didn't intentionally write an allegory. But his religious principles are very clear in the book, and all authors are influenced to some extent by their own beliefs. While he may not have intended it as a direct allegory, there are clear parallels that can be drawn with the Second World War, or industrialisation, for example.
The Second World War, I don't really agree on. I just don't see it. There's no fascist-like, nazi-like element, besides the fact that it's just a huge war.
But industrialization, definitely. That was a major theme, for sure, but doesn't mean it's 'based on' any actual events. It's not like, say, Orwell's Animal Farm, where there was a specific animal to represent every character of the Russian revolution (i.e. a pig to represent Stalin, a pig for Lenin, a pig for Trotsky, etc.)
Also, while Tolkien's religious morals may be visible, he tried his hardest not to include any religious symbolism. This is where him and his friend C.S. Lewis (author of Narnia) disagreed, and actually argued. The Narnia books are full of religious symbolism (Aslan = Christ), but LOTR isn't. In fact, LOTR is actually pretty 'pagan' with all it's gods and wizards and creatures, and I think some fundamentalist groups believe it's an evil piece of writing!
I think both LOTR and CON
are both proto-Christian. Lewis is just more obvious about it.
The exalted status Tolkien affords Galadriel is, IMO, directly related to his Roman Catholicism and the adoration of the Holy Mother. I also once readan interesting and persuasive article that compared Bombadil to Melchizedek of the Old Testament.
I once wrote a letter to Lin Carter (whom, BTW, I consider a moron) after reading his book Fantasy Worlds in which he states there is no religion in LOTR, which he sees as a major flaw. I challenged his statement. It's true there are few if any direct references to exotic pantheons of gods (he saves that for The Silmarillion) or elaborate religious ritual, but the book is full of religious meaning. That book profoundly affected me, and led me from agnosticism to Christianity--and I've talked to enough other people to know I am far from the only one to be affected that way.
LOTR may not be Christian in its superficial trappings, but spiritually its essence is Christian to the core.
Oh, no...
Bah!!! Please dont flame JRRTolkien with allegory. Thats a rather shallow interpretation and contrary to what the author specifically alludes to. If only people would spend time thinking (or even read all his books) before they come to these kinds of conclusions about some 'professors' life-times work. We are not talking todays money spinners or quick sells. For me LoTR was just the tip of the iceburg, literally, the 'literary vistas' are what I so appreciated.
Time-line sketch (correct me if you will) >>>
Elven language >>> stories of the Silmarillion >>> childrens tales (incl. Tom B.) >>> The Hobbit >>> vistas vistas >>> LoTR >>> more decades of Silmarillion...
There are, what, 40 yrs between the Silmarillion and the LoTR?
To call it allegory is a slight on the creator of Eru, Thingol, Feanor, Beren, Tuor, Turin..... down to Smeagol himself.
I really don't see how what you have posted has anything to do with what I said
about the essentially proto-Christian nature of LOTR. I've been around enough Tolkien discussion groups to know there are a lot of people, mostly non-believers, who try (in vain) to separate Tolkien's faith from what he has done in LOTR. I put them in the same category as Lewis puts people who (as he says in Mere Christianity) say they are willing to accept Jesus as a great teacher, but not as divine--way off track. I'm sorry, but if you read LOTR as just a rip-roaring good fantasy tale (which you can, if you are a shallow enough person, or one determined not to accept it's clear spiritual essence ) you are missing the whole point.
Read the books? LOL, my dear fellow! I've read everything Tolkien ever wrote in english. I've read The Silmarillion twice, The Hobbit three times, his shorter works all at least once. And as for LOTR itself? I've lost count, but it must be at least a dozen times (that's probably a pretty conservastive estimate, actually) cover to cover including the appendices. Like all great works of literature, I get something new from it each time.
Now you can disagree with me about the niceties of whether it is allegorical or not (and that question means squat to me) but let's not have any patronizing crap about my not having read or thought about the books (there have been periods of my life when that was something I thought about constantly). I stand by what I said; LOTR is a testament to Tolkien's abiding Christian faith. Yes, he had fun with the languages (as a philologist, how not?) but to read LOTR as a an exercise in language creation is to entirely miss the meaning of the book, as you evidently have, either through legitimate misunderstanding it or willfully not wanting to understand it.
When I have time I`ll try to give a more balanced answer, but two things immediately spring to mind.
1) You read it a dozen times? Thats small time believe me.
2)"if you are a shallow enough person, or one determined not to accept it's clear spiritual essence"
"but to read LOTR as a an exercise in language creation is to entirely miss the meaning of the book, as you evidently have, either through legitimate misunderstanding it or willfully not "
It seems only one person is willfully not wanting to understand it. It is possible to find religious symbolism in any piece of work, from Tolkien to my 1st year essay on the big yellow duck. You went looking for it, and found what you wanted, no harm but you were always going to. Religion and hopeful interpretation go hand in hand (no greater evidence than the bible for that).
The author has stated that the LotR is NOT allegory. Is he then a shallow man who willfully doesnt want to understand what he has written? I'm sorry but those two statements of yours are pure religious (insert word here) of the kind that has years ago destroyed any faith of mine.
Easy gentlemen, or ladies... whatever.
This thread has been silent since June, and now we have some hot debate! Let's try and keep it as just that - debate, and not personal attacks, please.
It really doesn't matter that you have differing views on the themes in the work, but to suggest one of them is wrong is utterly pointless and arrogant. Everything is relative and quite frankly, someone who read the LOTR purely for entertainment, and only once, has just as much ownership and legitimate argument in what they got out of the book/s as a language expert, war historian and/or a christian who has read it a thousand times.
Keep it civil please.
The book has some mild Christian themes, particularly those of pity and mercy, which lead to the destruction of the Ring.
But that's it.
Bryheinnen, you are most definitely exaggerating the amount of religious content in the story, and you are also saying that anyone who doesn't see it your way is clearly misunderstanding the whole book. I respectfully disagree. I myself have read it at least a half dozen times, and I love every word of it, but when I finish it I am in no way religiously inspired/empowered/or otherwise moved. Yet it remains my favorite book of all time, and means very much to me. So what do you say about that? I have no idea what I'm reading, and I'm missing the entire point?

Fender needs no introduction. With a history predating even their world-renown guitars, the first Fender guitar amplifier appeared in 1946; now, Fender amps come in too many distinct lines and models to count. There's truly something uniquely tailored to every musician, from the living room act to the rock superstar. You'll feel like a kid in a candy store while browsing Fender's extensive guitar amplifier selection, but a solid introductory amp worth looking at is the Acoustasonic 15 Acoustic Combo Amp. Perfect for practicing and playing small gigs with your acoustic-electric guitar and microphone, this little amp has a cool chorus effect and 6" speaker and is extremely portable.
A more serious player seeking clean tone definitely won't want to miss the Fender '65 Twin Custom 15 Combo Amp. A single 15" speaker delivers clear, precise tone with exceptional bass response, while a foot switch allows you to travel between two channels with ease. The removable casters help with venue setup and transportation, so you can focus on the music.
If you're looking to round out your amp collection with something truly special, the Custom Series '57 Bandmaster Tube Hand-Wired Guitar Combo Amplifier in tweed might just be that something. This two-channel vintage-style combo amp is a reworking of the discontinued but legendary tweed-covered Bandmaster from the late-50s. Many parts have been lovingly reproduced while many new premium components have been added to create this exceptional piece of equipment.
Whichever Fender guitar amplifier you choose - and there's a perfect amp for everyone - when you take the stage with it, you can hear the quality and feel the history that's made Fender such an iconic name, synonymous with rock. And with such a vibrant musical community supporting and being supported by Fender, it's impossible to not be proud to be part of it.

At the age of 30, Langehanenberg is a relative junior in a sport where experience is such an asset.
But just like her German compatriot Kristina Sprehe, 26, her Dutch rival Adelinde Cornelissen, 33, and British champion Charlotte Dujardin, 26, she is proving that age is not necessarily an indicator of value.
Langehanenberg started riding ponies at the age of 10, and to her it was "immediately clear" that horse riding was her life.
She first practised eventing at German champion Ingrid Klimke's stables before turning towards dressage at the highest level in 2006.
Three years later, she finished fifth in the World Cup final in Frankfurt atop Responsible Old and was selected as a reservist for the German Olympic team.
From there, she kept on improving, with a second place finish in the World Cup final in 2001, victory in the Freestyle Grand Prix in Aachen in 2012 and a personal record in Freestyle of 85.150 per cent.
Deservedly, she was selected for the London Olympics, where she witnessed the coronation of the British team.
She managed to clinch team silver, but had to content herself with fourth in the individual placings, 0.036 per cent away from the podium.

• The purpose of our study was to assess the prevalence of esophageal test abnormalities in patients with known cardiovascular disease and persistent chest pain. We performed a retrospective review of symptoms, manometry, and provocative test results performed on patients with undiagnosed chest pain. The 220 patients with angiographically determined cardiac disease and persistent chest pain were divided into three groups: coronary artery disease (125 patients), mitral valve prolapse (38 patients), and coronary bypass/angioplasty (57 patients). A comparison group consisted of 159 patients with noncardiac chest pain. All patients underwent esophageal manometry and placebo-controlled provocative testing (acid perfusion test and edrophonium chloride test). The prevalence of esophageal motility disorders in the noncardiac chest pain group (27%) was similar to that in the coronary artery disease (24%), mitral valve prolapse (37%), and coronary bypass/angioplasty (30%) groups. The frequency of nutcracker esophagus (11% to 16%) and diffuse esophageal spasm (2% to 7%) was remarkably constant. The prevalence of any positive provocative result in the noncardiac chest pain group (27%) was similar to that in the coronary artery disease (19%), mitral valve prolapse (32%), and coronary bypass/ angioplasty (20%) groups. Furthermore, completely negative results of esophageal investigation occurred in 55%, 62%, 42%, and 59% of the respective patient groups.

Dan Ryan is Leader of the Financial Services Advisory Practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. This post is based on a PwC publication by Mr. Ryan, Sean Joyce, Joseph Nocera, Jeff Lavine, Didier Lavion, and Armen Meyer.
The New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) issued its final rule on June 30, 2016 requiring either senior officers or the board of directors to certify the effectiveness of anti-money laundering (AML) and Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) transaction monitoring and filtering programs. [1] The rule (Part 504 of the NYDFS Superintendent's Regulations) is a response to weaknesses in transaction monitoring and watch list filtering programs that the NYDFS identified during routine examinations and subsequent investigations over the past several years.
The final rule differs in several critical ways from an earlier version of the rule NYDFS proposed in December of last year. Most notably, the final rule gives financial institutions the option of having a senior officer or the board certify the efficacy of their transaction monitoring and filtering programs; whereas, the proposed rule only allowed senior compliance officers to do so. Also, in light of industry feedback provided during the comment period, the NYDFS softened the tenor of the certification itself by removing the provision stipulating potential "criminal penalties" for incorrect or falsified certification filings.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Union officials say thousands of San Francisco Bay area nurses are set to walk off the job early Tuesday in what will be the second strike this month by nurses represented by the California Nurses Association.
A union spokesman says registered nurses at eight hospitals operated by Sutter Health and at two San Jose hospitals operated by Hospital Corporation of America will go on strike at 7 a.m. Tuesday.
The strike of the Sutter hospitals is planned for two days, while the strike at the HCA hospitals is set for one day.
The hospitals have hired replacements on five-day contracts for the strike. Hospital officials say because of the contracts, the striking nurses won't be allowed to return to work until Sunday.
The strike is the seventh by CNA since September of 2011. It comes as both sides remain at odds over staffing levels, sick leave and other issues.

Candidates in the Roane County road superintendent and property assessor races have turned to themselves for financial backing.
Incumbent Road Superintendent Dennis Ferguson loaned his campaign $12,000 on June 9, according to the campaign financial disclosure statement he filed with the Roane County Election Office on July 11.
The disclosure statement covered the period from April 1 to June 30. Ferguson's report shows he also received $5,725 in contributions during that period.
"She's a bloody mess, ma'am."
That's how Larry McCabe described the dead body of Brooke Nicole Morris when he spoke to a Roane County E-911 dispatcher from a dark rural road almost five years ago.
McCabe and his wife Debra were coming from a party in Kingston on Oct. 15, 2011, when they came upon Morris' body at the intersection of Blair Road and Old Blair Road.
Rockwood resident Jeremy Byar wants city officials to look at addressing traffic at Chamberlain Avenue and Tedder Street.
He shared his concerns Monday with Rockwood City Council.
"I have lived there five years, and I have watched it [the intersection] get more and more dangerous," he said.
"There are cats getting killed, and kids are in danger."
He asked if Council would consider making the intersection a three-way stop.
Oliver Springs will honor its police officers next week, and organizers are asking the community to contribute by "going blue."
Residents are asked to display blue outdoor lighting Aug. 2-3 "to show their appreciation for putting their lives on the line every day for us," said Tammi Barger, event chairwoman.
Harriman officials are eyeing a 2016-17 city budget that does not include a property tax increase.
Harriman City Council will likely discuss the budget on Aug. 2, but officials are debating whether to wait until after the Aug. 4 election for passage to give those elected an opportunity to share their opinion before they take office.
The budget does not include more money for paving. The city borrowed more than $2 million for paving this fiscal year.

The Lady Associates of the Tennessee Valley Defenders Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club recently had a "Christmas in July" motorcycle ride to fund area nursing home visits and Christmas baskets.
Club President Randy Childs said the event raised more than $1,000 to help residents who don't typically receive visitors.
Club members will meet with the residents in months prior to the holiday to introduce themselves and get to know them before taking them Christmas baskets.
