Richland Dec'r 20th 1866 Dear sir, you will please excuse my long delay, when you are aware of the fact, that four months past, my family has been, and is yet much afflicted of that slow fever the typhoid. Eleven of us, out of a family of Twelve, have been, and some are now sick: but all without any mortality are likely to fully recover. I desire sir that you make use of any facts that my letters contain, if any suit your purpose, in your own language; but not in the incoherent manner that you get them from me. Being so short a time in the army, about two months, I am not able to give many interesting particulars. I became a member of the Independant Spy Company when it was reorganized at fort Wilbourn, a few miles below Ottawa. Previous to this time, this company was commanded by Elijah Iles of Springfield, Ills after this time, it was commanded by Jacob M. Early of Springfield, Ills. Many of the officers & privates of our company were from Sangamon, i.e. A. Lincoln, J. M. Early, John T. Stewart, J. F. Reed, L. D. Matheny, Hugh Mc Gary, & others. When the army lay at Fort Wilbourn, as then called, near La Salle, its supplies came by steam boats; also by boats when at Dixon on Rock river, at the two points much of the time was passed by the whole army, or by one or more of the four brigades, especially by Gen. Atkinson [1] and the Regulars, with whom we generally camped, in company with 95 Potawatomis a few Winnebagos & Menominees which indians usually accompanied our company, both in camp and on the move. Our supplies were carried by horse teams usually, by pack horses occasionally, when not at or very near navigable streams; and when our company was sent on express our supplies and some of the baggag was carried by a beautiful mare mule called Jim Crow Being midsummer, our Idle days were mostly spent under the forest trees in the sitting or horizontal posture. We had some plays & some songs; but not being apt to participate I shall have to refer to Hugh Mc. Gary and others for a statement of these. About the tenth of may, I think, Joined Doct. Early's company; and the whole company was disbanded at White Water in Wisconsin about the tenth or middle of July, and nearly all of the company then returned home. Mr. Lincoln & myself came afoot from Havanna on the Ills river to Petersburg on the Sangamon, we crossed the Sangamon river at Miller's Ferry; several miles northwest from Petersburg.

text: 10/17/2012 Texas Breakfast Tacos The Arkansas Whole Hog I always describe a whole wild hog that's cooked until buttery, either underground or in a smoker, oozing slowly for many hours over coals. From the moment I tasted it, it earned itself a special place in the crevices of my mind. Slow cooking a whole pig has been an American tradition for more than 300 years. It is prepared in some form in almost every Southern state, with various barbecue sauces, molasses rubs and seasonings depending on geographic location. The whole hog I first tasted was in the Arkansas Delta where the Italian immigrants made it common practice to dig a large pit in the ground and cook the hog with coals. It is also a tradition among Hawaiians, where lava rocks are heated and placed in a pit lined with banana or ti leaves, which add insulation and flavor. Chicago-Style Meat Sandwich The Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich is a drippy, messy, meat sandwich made by slowly roasting beef on a rack above a pan filled with beef stock. The beef is then thinly sliced, soaked in the juice, and piled on a roll with sautéed peppers and sometimes a giardiniera relish. Then more juice is drizzled over the top for good measure. This sandwich works very well with venison roasts, thinly sliced and garnished the same way. It can be even better tasting than beef! North East Corned Meat The Irish immigrants also brought this technique over with them, as did the Jewish culture. All over New York in particular, you'll find delis serving up pastrami and reuben sandwiches, arguing over whose is the best, much like the deli wars over the Chicago-style beef sandwiches. Corned venison is equally as delicious as corned beef, and interchangeable in a recipe. Try a little corned venison smothered in Thousand Island dressing and see if you don't agree.

Still unsure if your community should unplug? Read some testimonials from 2013 unpluggers:
"I like National Day of Unplugging because it helps bring focus to people that technology is beautiful and awesome and amazing but also needs to be tempered some." – Brian B.
"NDU showed me that not only could I un-plug, but I could get way out into nature and have that same experience any time I wanted to!" -Erin S.
"In our household, we've been trying to unplug more and more every Shabbat. The National Day of Unplugging was that extra level of motivation that we needed to really take it to the next step. I am eager to continue unplugging and exploring new ways to unplug, so as to make our Shabbat that much more memorable!" -Matthew B.
"I found myself slowing down & approaching my activities more deliberately. At first, I was very nervous because I kept thinking that I heard my text messaging & email alerts on my phone. Alas, I picked it up over & over only to discover that it was "unplugged." Once I got used to my electronic devices being in the "off" position, I didn't want them back in the "on" position."-Darian

MIPS64 is one of those. /lib for o32 /lib32 for n32 /lib64 for n64 I suggest you look at CLFS for building for MIPS64, and we also need testers for it as we release in on Oct 15. LFS isn't setup to build for mips because of that exact issue up there. Look at the different targets for mips in CLFS http://trac.cross-lfs.org in development. -- William Harrington <kb0iic at berzerkula.org>

Kimi Raikkonen vs Fred Durst
I saw a picture of Fred Durst the other day and thought to myself he looks a little bit like someone I know doesn't he? Maybe Kimi Raikkonen can join Jacques Villeneuve in his new musical adventures?

Home Page - USA Online Casinos - Online Slots
It is not surprising to find out that online slots is one of
the hardest games to find a place to play. Don't get me wrong
there is no shortage of suppliers, it is the ability to make a deposit
that is the problem. No U.S. facing poker rooms have this popular
game in their poker client. Casino Titan and the
Golden Cherry Casino would be your two best bets in having a credit card
purchase go through. These two casinos are the best casinos for
USA online slot players because of their ability
to accept a deposit, ease of making withdrawals, their deposit bonuses and wagering limits for slots.
Top ranked USA friendly online casinos for Slot Machines!

Top deposit options available for U.S. slot machine players!
Credit Cards
People that play slots regularly are a different breed from the rest
of us. Slot players tend to love their favourite slot
machines. They tend to play at the same game over and over again
until they think they have mastered it. There are many different
types of slot games, but they generally fall into these three
categories; reel slots, multi-line slots and progressive slots.
Reel slots and multi-line slots can be played for free at any legal US
online casino.
There is many different slot games
available, but most of them are more or else the same. There is 3 Reel Slots,
Multi-line Slots and Bonus and Progressive Slots
Three reel slots or traditional slots have three reels that rotate after placing a bet. If the reels line up in a certain way, you will get paid according to the pay table. This type of slots are the simplest to play of all the different types of slots.
Multi-line slots typically have either five or seven reels. For Lucky 7's you can bet on one line or seven lines at the same time. To win you must have at least three of a kind in a row. The number 1, 2 and 3 lines are straight across. The other four numbers have "V" shaped lines as seen in the picture in right.
Bonus slots and progressive slots are similar in that they pay-out a big jackpot. Most bonus slots and progressive slots will only pay out if you are playing for the maximum credits, so maker sure that you check the pay out table before playing if you have no plans on playing for max credits. While bonus slots have a fixed jackpot, progressive jackpots keep on growing until someone wins it all. Some progressives on the Internet can get as high as $500,000. It is a good idea to look for a jackpot that hasn't been won for a while to increase your potential winnings.
Gambling in general is usually a losing proposition, and even more so when it comes to slots. If you are going to play slots at any casino, you should play with a bonus. New players will be able to claim up to $3000 in bonuses at the Bovada Casino!

Whether you want to sell your house in Boston, Plymouth, Framingham, Lowell, Dedham, Cape Cod or anywhere else in Massachusetts, HomeVestors® is the one to call.
Do you need to sell your house quickly? The team at HomeVestors® has offices located right here in Massachusetts and throughout the greater Boston area. You may know us from our catchy advertisements that say "We Buy Ugly Houses". The fact is, we don't just buy ugly houses, We buy "the good, the bad and the ugly!"
HomeVestors® franchisees are ready to buy your house and put cash in your hands. Our franchisees have purchased homes from thousands of happy customers. When it's time to buy a house, we work quickly, we pay cash and we typically even pay for your closing costs. Whether it's a condo, a single family home, a two-family home or any size multi-family home, we buy them all.
Many people in Massachusetts need to sell their house fast, often for reasons that are beyond their control. We often work with people who need to relocate quickly for a job, are going through a divorce, are downsizing or who have inherited property. Going through the normal real estate process can be time consuming and frustrating. We eliminate the typical headaches and hassles that come with selling your home the traditional way by purchasing the house as-is for cash and closing whenever is best for you.
People love buying houses in Beantown. Buying and selling homes in the Baystate is one of the great luxuries of living here. People from all over the country are moving into the area to be closer to the big city, as well as the cultural traditions few other cities in the country can match. Some of the best selling counties include Middlesex, Essex, Plymouth, Dukes and Nantucket. So if your wanting to sell your house we're ready to help you do it fast!
When a Massachusetts area house is put on the market through the normal channels it can take months, if not years, for an offer to be made. Unfortunately, an offer doesn't mean that the sale will go through. Buyers have to qualify for loans. Banks demand inspections before they will approve a mortgage. Repairs are often required before closing. Contracts can be contingent on the sale of the buyer's existing home. The whole process can be very time consuming, leaving you wondering when, if ever, you will receive your money.
Find out why so many people sell their house to us. There is a good reason that we are the largest buyer of residential homes in the United States. There is not obligation or cost to simply find out why so many people contact us first. Fill out our short online form and one of our Massachusetts franchisees will contact you quickly. They will meet with you, inspect your property and answer any questions. It doesn't matter what condition your home may be in. We buy houses in any condition, all over Massachusetts. After the meeting we will move quickly to make you a fair offer.
Fill out the form and get started today. We never charge any fees for inviting us to your home to see if our offer to buy your home is the best fit, and there's no obligation.
We Buy Ugly Houses in the Greater Boston Area
The City of Boston has many nicknames like, "The Athens of America, The Puritan City, The City of Champions" and the most popular nickname, "Beantown." Whatever nickname you give Boston there is one thing you can count on; the people of Boston loves their city. People flock to the hub of Boston and surrounds itself with sister cities. So if you want to sell your Boston home fast there is no other agency that is ready to make things move.
One of Boston's many 'sister cities', Cambridge Massachusetts was named after the University of Cambridge in England. The city boasts a sizable population quickly approaching 110,000. Income levels in Cambridge sit just above the state average, with the median household earning just under $70K annually. Housing values reflect equally positive conditions for Cambridge citizens, with values having risen $230,000 to an average $566,100 since the year 2000. These numbers represent a large variance from the home value state average, which still remains around $340,000 for Massachusetts.
This large Norfolk County town is imbued with U.S. history, including bragging rights as the birthplace of Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, and the legendary statesman, John Hancock. Its moderately large population of nearly 93,000 contributes greatly to the bustle of neighboring Boston, MA. Quincy's household income statistics match up closely with the state average, as do the home values, although prices in Quincy are slightly higher. Houses in Quincy remain popular properties, as the residences dotting the suburban landscape offer appeal with cozy New England charm.
Just 10 miles from downtown Boston, Lynn, MA is slightly smaller than Quincy. Originally thriving as an old industrial center, Lynn suffered several devastating fires in the 1970's and 80's. As the city was restored, it largely became a collegiate locale for North Shore Community College. Household income levels and home values are statistically lower than the state averages, and renters enjoy a lower than usual monthly payment. Lynn remains a scenic harbor community, attracting many student residents and Bostonian commuters who prefer a suburban homestead.
This beautiful New England town lies only seven miles from Boston, but doesn't actually have its own city center. Rather, it is a composition of 13 small villages. Newton, MA is the 11th largest city in the state with a population of about 85,000. Safe, quiet neighborhoods, good schools and a short commute to downtown Boston make Newton a desirable location for its residents. Household income and home value averages are significantly higher than state averages, sitting at $108K and $685K respectively. While any Newtonian can take his or her pick of premium properties, renters should expect to pay above-average monthly rates right around the $1,500 mark.
While Somerville has a lower population than many of Boston's surrounding areas (it's about 75,000), it is also the most densely populated city in New England…not to mention the 17th most densely populated city in the United States. No stranger to accolades, Somerville received the All America City Award in 2009 and the Boston Globe called Somerville one of the best managed cities in the country. The steadily rising population, incomes and housing values over the past 25 years have been largely attributed to the arrival of Boston's red line subway tracks through the city in 1985.
Perhaps best known for being the home of Tufts University, Medford, MA lies only five miles outside of downtown Boston, yet features a population of only 56,000. With much of Boston's societal and economic influences spilling over into Medford, most non-natives are likely to overlook its sovereignty from the metropolis. Housing and income stats in Medford are quite close to that of the state on the whole. As for historical charm, one need look no further than Medford if seeking out the tiny tavern where the legendary Christmas carol 'Jingle Bells' was first penned.
Bordering the cities of Boston and Newton, the town of Brookline, MA was independently incorporated in 1705. A ladies' town to be sure, Brookline females significantly outnumber males, by about 10% on average. With strong household income stats and housing values nearly double the state average, Brookline has attained prestige as one of the finer locales in which to take up residence near the Boston area. Many might consider Brookline one large verdant garden, segmented only slightly with the necessary urban features. The breathtaking landscape is a pride of the town.
Regarded in at least one periodical as the 'best place to raise kids in Massachusetts', Malden has a population moderately lower than surrounding cities (around 60K). Malden enjoys a lower-than-average crime rate and steadily declining jobless rates. Typical housing prices very closely match up with state averages, with only a few thousand dollars difference. It might not seem very scary, but horror novelist Stephen King might think so; he has mentioned Malden, MA in his works several times.

Hormone replacement therapy and the risk of osteoporosis
Long-term hormone replacement therapy (HRT) reduces a woman's risk of developing osteoporosis, especially among women who have increased risk factors for osteoporosis. For more information, see the topic Osteoporosis.
After menopause, bones lose mass and density more rapidly than before menopause. Postmenopausal women are more likely to experience broken bones, such as hip fractures and compression fractures of the spinal bones. Women with osteoporosis lose height because of bone loss.1
Osteoporosis is a common cause of bone fractures in older women, which can lead to chronic pain and disability. Fractures can affect:1
- The bones of the spine (vertebrae).
- The hip. A hip fracture often leads to further health complications.
- The wrist.
Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT):
- Reduce the risk of osteoporosis-related arm or hip fractures by about 30% to 50%.2
- Improve the absorption of calcium by the body to further prevent bone loss and related fractures. The recommended daily calcium intake for adults ages 19 to 50 is 1,000 mg a day, increasing to 1,200 mg a day for adults older than 50. The recommended daily intake of vitamin D to help with calcium absorption is 400 to 800 IU for adults ages 19 to 50, and 800 to 1,000 IU a day for adults age 50 and older.
But HRT and ERT increase your risk of other adverse effects, including blood clots, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer.2, 3, 4
Discuss your long-term risk of osteoporosis with your doctor. Other medicines are available to prevent or treat osteoporosis related to menopause.

And what are the nuances... I mean, who says "Rohirrim" and who says "Riders of Rohan" and do other people have other terms for them? Do they call themselves Rohirrim?
I am trying to figure out the subtleties of address.
Drat. Now I am beginning to wonder what culture calls hobbits "hobbits" and who calls them Halflings...
Feeling very insecure tonight for some reason.
Help, please?
Re: Rohirrim?
Rohir. Though I can't remember anyone in the books actually saying "rohir," that's the singular forming Rohirrim. You could also refer to the person as an Eorling (singular of Eorlingas) or use "one of the Rohirrim" or some other such construction.
And what are the nuances... I mean, who says "Rohirrim" and who says "Riders of Rohan" and do other people have other terms for them? Do they call themselves Rohirrim?
I'm not basing this on anything but my instincts, but Rohirrim sounds like Westron to me. I think it's what anyone who's not a Rohirrim, and probably many people who are, would call them. Among themselves, the Rohirrim might call themselves Eorlingas, but I think you're safe with Rohirrim across the board.
Drat. Now I am beginning to wonder what culture calls hobbits "hobbits" and who calls them Halflings...
Well to quote Pippin in "Treebeard," The Two Towers, "Nobody else calls us hobbits; we call ourselves that." No one seems to know the name hobbits when they first meet Merry and Pippin, but Merry and Pippin itnroduce them as such and the others pick up fast enough.
Rohirrim: holbytlan (sing. holbyt) in Rohirric; halflings in common tongue
Bree and Arnor: Little People, hobbits
Elves: Gildor's company calls Frodo, Sam, and Pippin hobbits
Gondorians: halflings, periannath (sing. perian)
Re: Rohirrim?
Re: Rohirrim?
I am trying to figure out the subtleties of address.Lindelea, there is an entry for the Rohirrim under Character Bios in Resources. There are citations for source material so you can read further.
The people of Gondor refer to them as the Horse-lords or Rohirrim, as do Gandalf and Aragorn in a couple of conversations:
...I was glad, for in the Riddermark of Rohan the Rohirrim, the Horse-lords, dwell, and there are no horses like those that are bred in that great vale between the Misty Mountains and the White.
"Are the Men of Rohan still to be trusted, do you think?"
(Gandalf at the Council of Elrond, relating his conversation with Gwaihir the Windlord) *note that he also calls them "Men of Rohan"
You are looking now south-west across the north plains of the Riddermark, Rohan the land of the Horse-lords...of old all that lay between Limlight and the White Mountains belonged to the Rohirrim.
Aragorn to Legolas and Gimli in The Riders of Rohan
"Cirion, therefore, in reward for his aid, gave Calenardhon between Anduin and Isen to Eorl and his people...They named it anew the Mark of the Riders [i.e. Riddermark], and they called themselves the Eorlingas; but in Gondor their land was called Rohan, and its people the Rohirrim (that is, the Horse-lords)." RotK, Appendix A, II, The House of EorlI've noted that in the book the Rohirrim almost exclusively refer to themselves as the Eorlingas or Eorlings. I cannot find any instance where they call themselves Rohirrim (contrary to the dialog used in the movies *grrr*). The pervasive use of Rohirrim in the book makes sense if we remember that it is supposed to be that which was recorded by the Hobbits, who would use Westron; therefore, they would use the term Rohirrim when talking about them. But whenever a direct quote is recorded, the Rohirrim call themselves Eorlings or the Eorlingas.
From the lands between the Gladden and the Carrock came the folk that were known in Gondor as the Rohirrim, Masters of Horses. They still spoke their ancestral tongue, and gave new names in it to nearly all the places in their new country: and they called themselves the Eorlings, or the Men of the Riddermark. But the lords of that people used the Common Speech freely, and spoke it nobly after the manner of their allies in Gondor; for in Gondor whence it came the Westron kept still a more gracious and antique style.There are many more, but I think you get the general idea. The orcs call them Whiteskins and the Dunlendings, Forgoil and Strawheads. Ghân-buri-Ghân refers to them simply as Horse-men.
I hope this helps.
Addendum: I have to amend a portion of my response. I had forgotten to add that the names Rohan and Rohirrim have their origins in Sindarin, which is in keeping with the naming conventions of the Gondorians, who spoke Westron [i.e. the Common Tongue] but most often chose their names from Sindarin.
In tracking down the citation for the first use of the name Rohan by Cirion's son and heir, Hallas, I found this:
The Sindarin names Rohan for the Mark and Rohirrim for the people were devised first by Hallas, son and successor of Cirion, but were often used not only in Gondor but by the Éothéod themselves.So despite the absence of its use in any of the dialog found in the book, its use would indeed be accepted among the Rohirrim themselves.
(UT: Cirion and Eorl)
Re: Rohirrim?
Re: Rohirrim?
Thank you so much for your help! I am taking this into consideration in my new story. I don't know much about the Horse Lords... yet... am sure I will find out. I hope people will point out problems (and suggest corrections) if they happen to read "As the Gentle Rain" (the first few chapters of which are soon to be posted). By necessity, some of the story takes place in Rohan, a place I have only visited in passing up until now. (I got kidnapped by passing hobbits and have spent the better part of last year in the Shire.)
Culture and justice?
I imagine that horse-stealing would be about the most serious crime imaginable, right on up there with murder.
Would the Wardens (dragging that out of the depths of memory, may be wrong) dispense justice in their regions? Do you think capital cases would go to the King? (Eomer, that is)
How would they execute criminals, assuming they do that and don't just banish them? I don't think they have such a thing as "life imprisonment", they are much too practical for that, and being a semi-nomadic people such would be very impractical. I doubt they'd banish dangerous criminals, anyhow. Would someone being hunted down be captured and brought in alive for trial, or would the hunters just dispense justice themselves? Would there be bounty hunters in Middle Earth? (I can almost imagine non-Rohirric scruffy fellows who look almost as bad as the hunted, but then that could be a lingering influence of Westerns and the original Star Wars series...)
I have a very nasty fellow to deal with, and am not quite sure how to handle him yet.
I can see I will have to go back and read bits in Two Towers again. I know there are clues in the text but I cannot find the notes I made. Any help from someone who's been researching and writing this culture would be very welcome.
Re: Culture and justice?
In a nutshell, other than Hurin who did face judgement by his peers through a process, Manwe, Thingol, Theoden and Aragorn simply listened to the evidence presented and made a decision. If the leader of your community thought he was a pretty bad guy, he probably would banish him from the area. ... as a personal thought, if he was a skilled woodsman, he may be banished without weapons etc, to ensure his death by the elements.
Re: Culture and justice?
I'm thinking Gondor had two kinds of execution: putting a man "to the sword" which was reserved for those of higher status, and hanging for common criminals who are a menace to society. I don't know why I come up with hanging, but it was common in England for centuries, perhaps that's why. Gee, if the Rohirrim fit into English history, being horse-based, would drawing and quartering be their method of capital punishment (shudder--saw it in a movie once as a little kid and image has never quite left me)?
Do you know what horse-based nomadic culture Tolkien was drawing from when he wrote the Rohirrim? I'm thinking they're Norse-based, though I always thought of the Norsemen as boat- rather than horse-based. When I think of horse-based cultures I tend to think of Native Americans (Apache, Comanche, Nez Perce to name a few) or Mongols. I'm sure there must be others but I'm drawing a blank.
OTOH, with writing going so badly at the moment, I'm not sure of anything right now. Aargh. Hate it when this happens.
Re: Culture and justice?
banishment by Manwe - Feanor from Tiron for drawing a sword on Fingolfin
quote: (Silm) "But Fëanor was not held guiltless, for he it was that had broken the peace of Valinor and drawn his sword upon his kinsman; and Mandos said to him: 'Thou speakest of thraldom. If thraldom it be, thou canst not escape it; for Manwë is King of Arda, and not of Aman only. And this deed was unlawful, whether in Aman or not in Aman. Therefore this doom is now made: for twelve years thou shall leave Tirion where this threat was uttered. In that time take counsel with thyself, and remember who and what thou art. But after that time this matter shall be set in peace and held redressed, if others will release thee.'" ~
In the time that followed Túrin spoke much with Mîm, and sitting with him alone he listened to his lore and the tale of his life. For Mîm came of Dwarves that were banished in ancient days from the great Dwarf-cities of the east, and long before the return of Morgoth they wandered westward into Beleriand; but they became diminished in stature and in smith-craft, and they took to lives of stealth, walking with bowed shoulders and furtive steps. Before the Dwarves of Nogrod and ~
'Let Beren speak!' said Thingol. 'What would you here, unhappy mortal, and for what cause have you left your own land to enter this, which is forbidden to such as you? Can you show reason why my power should not be laid on you in heavy punishment for you insolence and folly?' /snipped Beren's answer/ Then silence fell upon the hall, for those that stood there were astounded and afraid, and they thought that Beren would be slain. But Thingol spoke slowly, saying: 'Death you have earned with these words; and death you should find suddenly, had I not sworn an oath in haste; of which I repent, baseborn mortal, who in the realm of Morgoth has learnt to creep in secret as his spies and thralls.' Then Beren answered: 'Death you can give me earned or unearned; but the names I will not take from you of baseborn, nor spy, nor thrall. By the ring of Felagund, that he gave to Barahir my father on the battle field of the North, my house has not earned such names from any Elf, be he king or no.' (my comment: It appears that Thingol was in the habit of smiting those who back-talked him) ~
apace, and all the Elf-friends were in peril. And so it soon came to pass. For the Meneltarma was utterly deserted in those days; and though not even Sauron dared to defile the high place, yet the King would let no man, upon pain of death, ascend to it, not even those of the Faithful who kept Ilúvatar in their hearts. And Sauron ~
Therefore when Eöl was brought before Turgon he found no mercy; and they led him forth to the Caragdûr, a precipice of black rock upon the north side of the hill of Gondolin, there to cast him down from the sheer walls of the city. And Maeglin stood by and said nothing; but at the last Eöl cried out: 'So you forsake your father and his kin, ill-gotten son! Here shall you fail of all your hopes, and here may you yet die the same death as I.' Then they cast Eöl over the Caragdûr, and so he ended, and to all in Gondolin it seemed just; but Idril was troubled, and from that day she mistrusted her kinsman.

Re: Culture and justice?
Do you know what horse-based nomadic culture Tolkien was drawing from when he wrote the Rohirrim?
This is a common perception, but I agree with Michael Martinez's assessment - the Rohirrim were not a nomadic culture. I refer you to his article How did Tolkien actually portray the Rohirrim? He explains it far better than I can.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
Finally, where did the Rohirrim live?
Eorl settled in Aldburg, a city in the Folde probably 40-60 miles southeast of where Edoras was later built. Some have taken exception with my use of the word "city" for Edoras and Aldburg. We are not provided with details of populations but it's clear that even after the departure of part of the Muster of Edoras under Elfhelm (who, according to "The Battles of the Fords of Isen" in Unfinished Tales, led 4 companies to Theodred's aid -- 480 men if the eoreds were at full strength) Theoden was still able to assemble more than 1,000 Riders from the district. The population of Edoras and its nearby lands must therefore have exceeded 6,000 people (more likely it was in excess of 9,000 people -- and this merely assumes all men in the district were Riders, which is unlikely).
In Unfinished Tales Tolkien writes that at the beginning of the War of the Ring the full Muster of Rohan included 12,000 Riders, an arbitrary number set at 100 companies (eoreds) of 120 men each, but that the population of Rohan could have supplied many more Riders. In The Return of the King Theoden tells Hirgon the messenger from Gondor he would have led 10,000 spears to Gondor's aid under better circumstances, a considerable expeditionary force. This army, the Muster of Rohan, was divided into three parts: the Muster of Edoras (led by the First Marshal of the Riddermark), the Muster of the West-mark (led by the Second Marshal of the Riddermark), and the muster of the East-mark (led by the Third Marshal).
Theodred, Second Marshal and commander of the Muster of the West-mark, led 12 companies into the field (11 companies of Riders and 1 company of archers). At full strength these would represent 1440 men. He supplemented his force with an undisclosed number of levies from the West-mark. These levies provided the infantry force to support Theodred's Riders. After the second battle and while the Hornburg was besieged Gandalf rallied as many of the scattered Riders of the Muster of the West-mark as he could and he sent them back to Edoras. In the meantime Erkenbrand's army, hastily raised from the Men of Westfold, seems to have numbered around 1,000 men (according to "Helm's Deep" in The Two Towers). Whether this 1,000 men included the levies from Theodred's force is not indicated, but perhaps 1,000 more remained behind in Westfold (mostly too old or too young to march with the army).
These numbers thus show clearly that the Rohirrim were able to raise large forces in a reasonably short period of time. Necessarily, the men had to be quartered or living close to their commanders in order to answer those summonses. Whereas Theoden or Erkenbrand could each raise 1,000 men in the space of several hours, it required several days to assemble the larger Muster of Rohan, and in that event Theoden left sooner than he intended, taking only 6,000 Riders with him (but Unfinished Tales indicates Erkenbrand was left in command of a substantial force to defend Rohan).
When Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn followed Ugluk's Orcs through the Emyn Muil (the range of hills in eastern Rohan bordering the lake between Rauros and Sarn Gebir) Legolas asked, "Do any folk dwell in these hills?" Aragorn replied, "No, the Rohirrim seldom come here, and it is far from Minas Tirith."
When Eomer and Aragorn exchanged news and identified themselves to each each other, Eomer said, "The East-mark is my charge, the ward of the Third Marshal, and I have removed all our herds and herdfolk, withdrawing them beyond Entwash, and leaving none here but guards and swift scouts."
It has been suggested that Eomer spoke of the removal of a permanent (nomadic) population.
A nomadic people live in tents and derive most if not all of their sustenance from their herds. There is no mention of such people in any of the passages which detail the travels of Gandalf and the Fellowship through Rohan. We see the houses in the walled city of Edoras, the houses of the villages of Upbourn and Underharrow, and the burning homesteads of Westfold. As Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli ride south from Fangorn to Edoras, there is no mention of herds and herdsfolk. They may have been prudently removed to the southern lands altogether, but there is nothing to indicate any of the Rohirrim ever led a nomadic life. Certainly none of their ancestors were nomads.
The army gathered in Harrowdale when Theoden arrived from Helm's Deep was using tents, but armies have long used tents in the field, and there is no indication the tents served any other purpose than to house the soldiers. Furthermore, if the herdsfolk were nomads, who owned the herds? Why would Tolkien place the Riders of Rohan in towns and (small) cities if he intended to convey a nomadic life for them? Unless the herdsfolk Eomer spoke of were simply specialized workers, like the cowhands who roved the American west, Argentina's pampas, the grasslands of southern France (Cowboys and Vaqueros, Gauchos, etc.). Theoden lived in a hall but he seems to have possessed herds of horses. Someone watched over those herds for him. Tolkien does in fact mention such workers in "The Battles of the Fords of Isen": "...[Theodred] therefore manned the approaches, east and west, to the Fords with sturdy men on foot from the levies of Westfold. Leaving three companies of Riders, together with horse-herds and spare mounts, on the east bank." So the profession of "horse-herd" is attested, albeit only in the context of the Muster of Rohan. If the "horse-herds" lived with their families in the field, they may indeed have been nomadic in lifestyle, but they would not have been representative of Rohan's people or culture.
M. Martinez also gives a lot of the background for the Northmen and the Éothéod, from whom the Rohirrim descend. I have read all the souce materials as well, and I find nothing that supports the view that the Rohirrm were a nomadic people.
Perhaps it's possible that the herdsmen were semi-nomadic, as in they lived in established buildings (huts, "furnished" to allow for ease of moving from one to another as needed, monthly or seasonally or something?) but moved the herds they were watching over from one part of the land to another for fresh grazing. Horses need a lot of pasture! I remember something like one acre per horse was the recommended amount, without having to feed supplemental hay, but I might be wrong. However, it makes sense that the people lived in villages, with a couple of principle towns, perhaps.
That's sort of the premise I was working on.
When I talked about drawing from "nomadic horse-based cultures" I wasn't necessarily thinking the Rohirrim were nomadic, per se, but that their love of horses seemed to match what I've read of the Native Americans, the Mongols, and yes, the Bedouins (and how could I have forgotten them? When I wrote my original post we'd just seen "Hidalgo" the weekend previously). They did not take horses for granted, seeing as how the horse was often necessary for survival. I can't think of a non-nomadic culture that revered horses the way the nomads did, but then, there are little pretend horses galloping all over the house and I can hardly hear myself think at the moment. I had better go and rein them in and settle on the couch for a read-aloud time...
So, was he drawing on some non-nomadic horse-based culture? My old creative writing instructor was fond of claiming that all writing was derivative, and so I was curious as to possible sources.
Eorlings or Eorlingas
Re: Forgot to ask...
What's the difference between "Westmark" and "Westfold"? If any?Being a philologist, Tolkien would have chosen these terms with thought to the geopolitical and the physical characteristics of the land. Mark as used in Riddermark, Eastmark and Westmark all bear the connotation that they form "boundaries" of some sort (the Riddermark itself being a boundary for Gondor, in a protective sense as well as the obvious geographical sense.
mark: Etymology: Middle English, from Old English mearc boundary, march, sign; akin to Old High German marha boundary, Latin margo
1 : a boundary land
BTW the terms Westmark and Eastmark aren't used in the text of LotR, but the terms east marches and west marches are. This still fits the etymology cited above.
Tolkien also uses the terms East Emnet and West Emnet, though only on the maps of Rohan, to indicate the open meads on either side of the River Entwash (I am still trying to locate the meaning/etymology for emnet, but I would imagine it has something to do with the open grasslands - just don't quote me on that ).
Which brings us to fold. Tolkien uses the terms Eastfold and Westfold for those areas along the northern feet of the white Mountains (such as the Westfold valley that leads to Helm's Deep). I think the etymology given below would illustrate why he would use the term for those areas:
fold: Etymology: Middle English, from Old English falod; akin to Old Saxon faled enclosure
3 a : a bend or flexure produced in rock by forces operative after the depositing or consolidation of the rock b chiefly British : an undulation in the landscape
I hope there's something of use to you in all of this.
Re: Forgot to ask...
Tom Shippey, in The Road to Middle-earth, writes:
"An 'emnet' is a thing in Middle-earth, also a place in Norfolk, also an asterisk-word *emnmœÞ for 'steppe' or 'prairie', also the green grass which the Riders use as a touchstone for reality."
Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire are fenland - flat lands which are the closest we have to steppe or prairie in England.
Re: Eorlings or Eorlingas
Knight of the Mark is, I think, more specific - i.e. when Eowyn tells Éomer:
"And what of the king's esquire, the Halfling? Éomer, you shall make him a knight of the Riddermark, for he is valiant!"A knight is specifically referring to a Rider, a warrior, whereas Eorling can be used for any of the people of Rohan, male, female, child or adult. so the usage depends on the context in which you intent to place it.
Does that help?
Re: Forgot to ask...
"An 'emnet' is a thing in Middle-earth, also a place in Norfolk, also an asterisk-word *emnmœÞ for 'steppe' or 'prairie', also the green grass which the Riders use as a touchstone for reality."Thank you, Altariel! I was certain I'd seen it in Shippy's writing somewhere, but couldn't locate it. And emnet doesn't show up in any of the dictionaries or etymologies I have access to. The closest word was emmet, but that means ant and I didn't think that fit the context very well.
Re: Forgot to ask...
Re: Rohan vs. Rochan
Just one more tiny tidbit on this point...
_Rohan_ and _Rohirrim_ actually represented ''Westronized' forms of the Sindarin words and were the forms used in Gondor.
Elves would have used the true Sindarin forms of _Rochan_ and _Rochirrim_.

Re: Forgot to ask...
...when I checked just now in The Road to Middle-earth, it was handily in the index!That's where I was looking! I checked again and emnet isn't in the index of my copy. I wonder if it's a different edition? Mine is the trade paperback. Please, can you point me toward the chapter that the reference is in, so I'll know where to find it for future reference? (I'm still on my first reading of this particular book)
Re: Eorlings or Eorlingas
Does that help?
Very helpful, thanks! I respect the people I write about so much (even though they are fictional, which sometimes slips the mind) that I do not want to insult them by putting the wrong words in their mouths, or calling them the wrong thing!
Now I know I've gone round the bend...
Re: Forgot to ask...
I think this is a second edition, 1992. And a British edition, of course.
Please, can you point me toward the chapter that the reference is in, so I'll know where to find it for future reference? (I'm still on my first reading of this particular book)
Guilty of having had it on my shelf for a couple of years without reading it yet! It's chapter 4, The Cartographic Plot, and under the section heading 'The edges of the Mark', right at the end of that section.
Re: Forgot to ask...
I *do* buy books on occasion, but have maxed out the current book budget with "Atlas of ME". Checked it out from the library so many times I figured it was a "keeper".
More Rohirrim questions
And even if they were given nothing more than honor and the glory of serving Rohan, they had to be fed, horses had to be fed and cared for, weapons had to be maintained and replaced, etc. etc. etc. Maintaining a standing army is a huge resource suck. Anyone have a clue how they did this? Or logical suggestions.
It's funny the little questions you run into while writing fanfic that you NEVER considered when you were just reading/watching it.
Re: More Rohirrim questions
I don' t think that they did... Eomer refers to his eored (120 Riders) as "men of his household" when he meets Aragorn Gimli & Legolas. And he led them out w/out Theoden's permission. To me this says that he is solely responsible for their upkeep and their leadership. I would imagine that they weren't paid in money, but with lodging, training, equipment.
The full muster of the Rohirrim, what Theoden led to Gondor, would be made up of all the able-bodied men of Rohan who could fight, but in normal everyday life were farmers/herders/farriers/etc. The permament standing army wouldn't be very large - probably just the eoreds of the King, the Marshals & various other lords.
I don't have it with me, but therre's quite a bit about the military org. of Rohan in Unfinished Tales - you could check that out for further info.
[rather disjointed post, sorry, but Nora is just waking up from her nap so I don't have time to make it more logical]

November 2007 -- Issue #163
The November issue of Linux Journal is all about High-Performance Computing from many angles. Delve right into this month's hands-on feature articles, including Khurram Shiraz's primer on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Cluster Suite, Daniel Bartholomew's piece on gracefully transferring services between systems with Heartbeat and Jack Chongjie Xue's case study on building a high-availability e-mail system at a major university.
Another theme this month is doing your core work faster and more efficiently. Take Jes Hall's article on distributing your compiling work across multiple machines in your network via distcc or Girish Venkatachalam's on enhancing your performance when network programming in C. We also interview execs at RapidMind about their cutting-edge platform for leveraging multicore processors and accelerators.
Next, check out our trusty gang columnists and opinionators: Nick Petreley is talking Java, Reuven Lerner is thinking APIs and Jon "maddog" Hall is parsing Sun's Solaris marketing hype.
Finally, Chef Marcel Gagne knows the real reason you bought dual-core processor--to play high-performance racing games! Touché, Marcel!

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

"Dr. Laura...You wrote: 'Sometimes
kids just need to cry...Set a reasonable limit and welcome his meltdown.'
Are you saying that I should just say No and let my son cry, and things
will get better? That's what my parents did, and I spent hours in my
room crying. It wasn't good for me, and it made me so angry at them." -
Shelly makes a good point. Sometimes we all just need a good cry. And kids, with their immature frontal cortex, need to cry more often than adults, to heal all those feelings that are making them act out. But that's only healing if they have a compassionate witness -- the safe haven of a parent. Leaving your child to cry alone just traumatizes her, and gives her the message that she's all alone with those scary feelings, just when she needs us most. READ POST
"Sending children away to get control of their anger perpetuates the feeling of 'badness" inside them...Chances are they were already feeling not very good about themselves before the outburst and the isolation just serves to confirm in their own minds that they were right." -- Otto Weininger,Ph.D. Time-In Parenting
When our kids get angry, it pushes buttons for most of us. We're not perfect, but we try to be loving parents. Why is our child lashing out like this?
Many parents send an angry child to her room to "calm down." After all, what else can we do? We certainly can't reason with her when she's furious. It's no time to teach lessons or ask for an apology. She needs to calm down.
If we send him to his room, he will indeed calm down, eventually. He'll also have gotten a clear message that his anger is unacceptable, and that he's on his own when it comes to managing his big scary feelings--we don't know how to help him. He won't have worked through whatever led to his anger. Instead, he'll have stuffed the anger, so it's no longer under conscious control, and will burst out again soon. No wonder so many of us develop anger-management issues, whether that means we yell at our kids, throw tantrums with our spouse, or overeat to avoid acknowledging angry feelings.
What can we do instead? We can help our kids learn to manage their anger responsibly. That begins with accepting anger -- without acting on it. READ POST
"How much more love and affection can I give him? .... Because once you pee on your brother, you've gone too far, and we have to fix this now."
What's a parent to do when a child acts out in a big way? In a recent post, we evaluated some options: spanking, time-out, sticker charts. Bottom line, they're unlikely to be effective, because they don't get to the root of the behavior. We can assume the toddler is showing his baby
brother who's boss because he's feeling major jealousy. Punishing him will just reinforce the sibling rivalry, because it convinces him that he really has lost you.
Then, in our last post, we talked about how connecting differently with your child can turn a situation like this around. Instead of punishing, nip this behavior in the bud by focusing on prevention. Refill your
child's love tank and give her an emotional tune-up on a daily basis, so you
don't end up in the breakdown lane. Hard, yes--but it works. When you connect with your child in the way she needs, most of the time her behavior improves dramatically.
But what if it doesn't? "Just how much more love and
attention can I give him?" I call this the leaky cup syndrome. The answer is, if you're really giving him all the love and attention you can, and it isn't changing his behavior, it's because you aren't healing the feelings driving the behavior. READ POST
Dr. Laura....I
don't understand how to even begin to validate our very strong willed

there as well..." - Anita
In my last post,
When You Just Don't Have Time for That Meltdown,
I pointed out that Preventive Maintenance can help you avoid meltdowns at those inconvenient times, like when you're trying to get your kids in the car to go somewhere. What's preventive maintenance?
Well, what happens to your car if
you don't fill it with gas, change the oil, and give it a regular tune
up? It ends up in the breakdown lane. Life with children isn't so
different. Unfortunately, parents aren't given a preventive maintenance
plan for their children. But if you don't refill your child's love
tank, roughhouse with him daily so he gets some good giggling in, and
give him regular one-on-one time, you can count on more breakdown time.
Especially if there's a relatively new baby in the family, or if you're transitioning from conventional parenting to gentle parenting and your child has some old stuffed emotions to process. READ POST
"2 year-olds argue with their parents 20 to 25 times an hour." -- Study reported in Child Development Magazine
Between 11 and 15 months, we learn a wonderful word: "No!"
It's an ecstatic discovery. We learn we are separate, autonomous beings with a will of our own who can impact what happens in the world. We delight in saying, "No!" at every opportunity.
Our "No" is actually a big "YES!"
It's an awesome, pure expression of our life force.
After the first cute "No" or two, our parents are usually less than delighted. In fact, this developmental stage launches what's often called the "terrible twos." Rarely are our ecstatic expressions of primal life force affirmed. Do you remember your father or mother saying:
"I love your independence and autonomy!"
"I see that you're learning to stand up for your own truth, which will really help you later in life." READ POST
"If you entertain thoughts that... your child is
manipulating you, taking advantage of you, ignoring you, or
disrespecting you -- you will often feel annoyed, irritated, and angry.
However, when instead you think in terms of the needs that you and your
child are trying to meet, then you are more likely to feel compassion
and connection. And you are much more likely to take action that
contributes to your child's well-being as well as your own." -- Sura

If my cancer center doesn't have a social worker, who can help me with financial concerns, insurance problems, co-pay assistance?
Christina Bach, Oncology Social Worker at Penn Medicine responds:
You can access assistance with coping with financial concerns, insurance problems and co-pay assistance from a variety of resources---here is a list of my go to resources:
These resources can be a great jumping off point for getting the support and education you need.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. View the entire transcript from the Focus on Pancreatic Cancer Webchat.
Oct 17, 2014 - The prevalence of familial pancreatic cancer (FPC) is about 9 percent, and patients with FPC have more precursor lesions and are less likely to smoke than patients with sporadic pancreatic cancer, according to a study published online Oct. 14 in Cancer.

Oman is best avoided during the summer months (May to September) because it is exceedingly hot and can be exceptionally uncomfortable. Apart from some cloudiness and rainfall in the south (where Oman borders the Arabian Sea) sunshine levels are very high throughout the year.
As you would expect, Oman has extremely low rainfall except for the area around the Al Hajar mountains in the north and the Dhofar hills in the south. The coast is very hot and muggy all year round. Further inland, temperatures are actually higher but humidity is lower, which means that the heat is less oppressive.
The following ratings are a general indication of conditions in Oman. They could differ depending on whereabouts you are. For example, the desert can get quite chilly at night and the south coast can sometimes be cloudy and rainy.
Africa is a truly wild continent and the potential pitfalls for the inexperienced and unsuspecting traveller can be vast.
Independence and freedom to explore are vital ingredients of your safari but so is your safety.
Self driving means you will be taking responsibility for certain aspects of your own safety and you must, therefore, be prepared in advance.
Your preparation will include such things as: full briefings, training, safetly equipment and emergency satelite phones.

I took up knitting in the winter of 2011 and was immediately addicted. I always have a project with me and love having yet another opportunity to combine my photography skills with all my finished products.
The art of "flooding" and decorating sugar cookies can be very frustrating and time-consuming but leads to amazing, beautiful results. I've been decorating cookies for years, always trying to find fun new ways to manipulate the colors and patterns of the icing.
Over the years I've been tasked with a plethora of product. Whether it's electronics, kitchenware, soft goods, jewelry--I've handled it all.
I jump at the chance to "play" in our studio space. This past Christmas I was able to redesign our "holiday set" where we shoot all our toys and holiday-themed product.
I am grateful to have so many friends and family members that have such interesting lives and don't mind me tagging along with my camera to document them and their hobbies.
Traveling is just an excuse to take more pictures. I'm always ready for a new adventure--whether down the street or across the country! Where to next?

Midwest Living Review
Schuler's chocolate-cream filled donuts are not just the bakery's runaway best seller, they're practically the official food of Springfield, Ohio. You know that a bakery must be good if it has been around for more than 70 years. Schuler's not only has remained in the same family for all that time, but it also still uses the recipes that founder John Schuler meticulously perfected after he started the bakery. Everything is prepared from scratch without preservatives, and just like John, the bakers work all night so that customers always find fresh baked goods at Schuler's stores. To get a taste of the cookies, pies, cakes, dinner rolls and, of course, doughnuts that folks in Springfield have craved for generations, it's worth driving a couple of miles from the US-68 bypass to Schuler's Derr Road store in the Northland Plaza shopping center. The modern, immaculate store also has coffee, so if you buy a glazed yeast donut for 69 cents or a 79-cent, chocolate frosted Bismarck, you can treat yourself to a yummy, inexpensive breakfast. You'll also want to pick up some of Schuler's signature cookies. Thumbprints are rolled in walnuts and have a dollop of chocolate in the centers, while the butterfly cookies contain finely ground raisins flavored with a hint of butterscotch. And Schuler's gingerbread men are so popular that the bakery makes them year-round. They're hand-decorated with smiling faces and cost $1.50 each.

The new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3 will fit into Sony's H line right under the H7 and H9. The H3 offers a stabilized 10x optical zoom lens to capture 8.1 megapixel images and it has a 2.5 inch LCD. Compared to the 12x optical zoom H2, the H3 certainly looks like a step back, but Sony has also made the H3 much more compact (about half as thick as the H2). Look for the H3 in September for around $300.
