Talk:Archanis (star)
this wiki
Back to page
I know transcripts are poor evidence, but the Arena transcript seems to call this Arcanis (as in Arcanis Lager). And complicating things, DS9 mentions an "Archanis" several times in a context that suggests it is a world, not a star. (though that's probably shorthand for Archanis IV). Anyway, my point being that this article might benefit from a fact check with the original scipt. Anyone have it? (I'm looking at you, Defiant) -- Capricorn (talk) 17:49, August 25, 2012 (UTC)
- Before writing this page, I first went to the transcript because I remembered a third star being mentioned. I know that the site has issues with spelling. So, I went to Startrek.com which is far more reliable on this matter [1]. So, I proceeded with their spelling. In "Day of the Dove", Archanis IV was mentioned as being the location of a research outpost where an illusory brother of Chekov was posted. So, we have a star and a planet in orbit of this star.Throwback (talk) 03:35, September 6, 2012 (UTC)
Fair enough on the spelling, but appart from Startrek.com which isn't canon, what evidence is there to say that Archanis refers to a star. Take this quote from "Apocalypse Rising". (lifted from here):
- Gowron: You want the war to end, then the Federation must allow us to annex Archanis and the other worlds we've seized
Sounds like Archanis refers to a planet here. The same episode mentions a "raid on Archanis", though I admit that that's more ambigious. I've looked through transcripts and scripts and can't find anything pointing to Archanis being a star. Though I might have overlooked something, haven't rewatched the episodes. -- Capricorn (talk) 21:00, September 6, 2012 (UTC) Scrap all the above; I've misread your comments. -- Capricorn (talk) 21:03, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

I managed to spend about 3 hours up in my workroom this evening! I'm making strides on my mid-engined, ZR1-powered Corvair. I already had the chassis cut and had the front subframe from the 'Vette spliced into the 'Vair's pan, and had installed a crossmember for the front of the engine. I had to remove the custom crossmember that I had in place for the transaxle mount (too far forward) and fabricate another one. This required doing the basic assembly of the engine and attaching the Corvair's T10-based 4-speed transaxle. After cutting the rear springs one coil and tacking the rear trailing arms in place, I was able to slip the rear axle through the arms and the transaxle to get a read on where the rear transaxle crossmember had to go. I took some measurements and fabbed it up from Evergreen tube stock and some wire-core plastic rod for stiffness and bendability. I know what I want to do as far as hanging the mount from the crossmember goes, based on the original one that I had to remove. While I was at it, I reworked the interior bucket, removing the back seat and most of the package shelf area, just leaving the part that goes around te back - the hinges for the engine lid are attached there, and that section will also conceal the base of the rear window. Hopefully I'll think to shoot a few pictures of my progress tomorrow.

My Camaro needs just a little bondo, and then bit of sanding and (hopefully) the last primer coat...
Posted 11 July 2012 - 09:17 PM
Here's the model mocked up as it sits at the moment. It is shown with the wheels from the ZR-1 kit, but I plan on using a set of BBS-style lace spoke wheels on the completed model. The splitter for the front air dam, shown in front of the model, will be installed after the body and chassis are finally assembled, since it'll get in the way of assembly otherwise.:

will have some pics soon had some problems sanding panel lines and not being able to find a new body i
went and cut the door out . and didnt have anything to replace it . till i got a stashed promodeler 69 first issue
Cut that door out and it fit except for the vent window. so i am back to my conundrum.
Later Guys
Posted 13 July 2012 - 06:16 PM
Seriously, forget about the vent window and go for the aerodynamics of fixed side glass like on a pro mod drag car. You'll have to fab up a window frame to rivet the plexiglass to, but that shouldn't be too tough. On the other hand, it WILL make toll booths harder, unless you have EZ-Pass. Then you just blitz the booth at about a buck ten and dare the smokies to try to catch you!
Posted 14 July 2012 - 08:14 AM
who said anything about ez pass or stopping for tollbooths
make some late model glass work remove the front vents.

In assessing the significance of sheep breeds to the RBTA, the group that
have been recommended for critical status
either exist in exceedingly low breeding numbers or have been known in the
sheep community in the last decade but
have proved elusive to locate despite reasonable investigation. It is more
than likely small pockets of purebreds exist
on farms carrying commercially viable breeds and my recommendation is that
we make it a priority to track down
former breeders to ascertain what has become of the Horned Polwarth, Cormo,
Zenith, Elliotdale, Booroola Merino
and Carpetmaster. Of these, the Horned Polwarth, Zenith, Elliotdale and
Booroola Merino are Australian originated
and are probably not represented outside Australia.
The Camden Merino should be considered Australia's most historically
important sheep breed. It is doubtful the
specimens remaining today date back to the first flock John Macarthur developed
at the beginning of the 19th century.
Most sheep in the colony at that time carried the genes of Cape or Indian
breeds because there were so few in
Australia. It is more likely current Camden Merinos trace back to improved
flocks belonging to the Macarthur family
from the 1830s or later. Regardless, Camdens and Macarthurs are connected
and so should share the historical
recognition this family is given for their contribution to Australian farming
and the wool industry.
The Carpetmaster and Cormo have origins in NZ. The Carpetmaster appears
to have died out there; it has not been
included among the breed profiles in Sheep Breeds of NZ (Meadows, Reed,
1997). The entry for the Cormo suggests
numbers of 65,000 exist there, a thriving population. The Cormo was developed
first in Tasmania and the genetic
crossing used to produce it duplicated in NZ though with slightly different
Merino bloodlines. Discussion needs to
take place to decide whether the Cormo should to be on our critical list
or whether our energies should be focused on
breeds where there are no known populations outside Australia.
The dilemma regarding the Cormo is repeated when the South Dorset Down is
considered. It was developed in NZ
from Dorset Down and Southdown and an existing population of 5000 is quoted
by Meadows in Sheep Breeds of NZ.
As well, the parent breeds still exist and so it could be possible to recreate
it. There are no studs registered in the 2003
Flock Book (Aust). The Dorset Down and Shropshire are inclusions in the
critical category because of their limited
breeding numbers. With the present preoccupation of the wool industry with
pigmented contamination of the national
wool clip, a greater prejudice against breeds with coloured points will
develop and this does not auger well for the
promotion or preservation of Shropshire and Dorset Down.
The Endangered category to date has five recommendations; two British strong
wool breeds, a prime lamb terminal
sire and two carpet wool breeds. Both the Lincoln and the English Leicester
have suffered a drop of almost half in the
numbers of breeding ewes kept since 1994. As larger scale breeders age and
encounter ill health and have to downsize,
these two breeds will face less certain futures. Small markets that accounted
for reasonable sales of fleeces have dried
up; the Chinese market for long-stapled fleece for dolls' hair has
disappeared as has the former local market for roller
lagging. The Ryeland's continued presence in the public arena is due
to the dedicated commitment of one numerically
large stud breeder, a situation which cannot last forever. The breed has
some long-term potential as an alternative
terminal sire to the very popular Poll Dorset and White Suffolk, but much
more promotion is needed to educate small
breeders about the Ryeland's qualities.
The future is not good for carpet wool breeds because they have medullated
fibre and this is another contaminant that
is downgrading the national wool clip. As well, there is no demand for carpet
wool and breeders pay more for shearing
(twice yearly) and cartage of wool bales than they receive for wool. Breeders
say there is no future with carpet wool
and no interest in the sheep, a most concerning situation.
With the recommendation for the vulnerable category, the Cheviot appears
to be in the most precarious position. It's a
lively, flighty sheep so a handful for less experienced keepers, it's
a strong wool breed with terminal sire
characteristics but it's not well known. Serious promotion is required
to keep numbers stable.
The Hampshire has done well in feed conversion/growth rate trials and also
in taste trials and so is a good choice for
small farmers wanting a money making sheep that is appealing to look at.
The Dorset Horn has been sliding back numerically – the horns are
a curse for breeders to handle and the best qualities
of this breed can now be found in the successful Poll Dorset. Breeders of
the Poll access the Dorset Horn to retain
nonseasonal breeding and meat carcase traits and for as long as this practice
continues the Dorset Horn will be safe.
Breeds that need careful watching include the Romney and also the Perendale,
Coopworth and Gromark.
Among many new creations and introductions there are breeders with low numbers
of breeding ewes, low enough to
be considered for our conservation categories, but they do not meet the
criteria that would bring them to our attention.
Little is known about the relative proportions of each of approximately
40 breeds that make up 4.5% of Australia's
national sheep flock. Although many breeds have their own breed registries,
the data has not been collated into one
source because of insufficient resources to do so. This data is imperative
if we are to effectively track changing breed
numbers and monitor the viability of remnant breed populations. RBTA believes
that around half of these breeds are
threatened or in danger of being lost in Australia in the next ten years
if immediate action is not taken. Many of the
breeds are Australian derived breeds not found anywhere else in the world.
As such their preservation should receive
Funds are urgently required to complete the survey of sheep breed genetics
and to implement a national audit of sheep
breeds in Australia. Once a complete picture of the state of these breeds
is determined, a strategy needs to be devised
• which breeds are of greatest significance for preservation
• how these breeds can best be secured.

EL PASO — An El Paso firefighter is behind bars tonight for allegedly beating a four month-old baby. It happened back on December 14th. Police say they got a call about an unresponsive infant, and when they arrived on scene they found 27 year old Stephen Valdes. The baby was rushed to the hospital. Her condition is unknown. Police conducted an investigation and have now determined that the little girl's injuries were not accidental. Valdes was arrested today and is being held on $60,000 bond.

They have a fantastic staff with tons of experience and they'll have you dancing before you know it. Not only are the teachers fantastic, but the other students are great and you'll quickly make new friends. So whether you've seen "Dancing with the Stars" and want to be like them, or if you just want to feel more comfortable on the dance floor this is the place to be. I'd recommend them to everyone (and frequently do!)!

This is what it would look like if Zaha Hadid and Masamichi Katayama (google him, he's my favorite) had a Corian baby.
The Top5 most Liked posts this week reviewed by Sally.
1. Ukiyo-e Floating Garden by Coirier, Marion & Lopez
I'm always looking for new and innovative ways that designers incorporate plants into their designs. I think this would be great over a kitchen island. Eye level. You could grow herbs to cook with!
It's hard to make a call on this design because we know so little about it. What's the scale like? Assuming it's a proper doll house, it could make for a nice centerpiece. I'm on the fence about it. The "inspired by German architecture" sentence really puts me off. Not because I hate Germans or their architecture, but because it's so damn vague of a statement. Like me designing a slanted house in AutoCAD and saying it was "inspired by America." It just doesn't calculate correctly!
3. Lladró: The People & The Process (Part 1)
ACTION SHOTS! What's better? Here at MoCo Loco we love the finished product, but we're equally as interested in the process. When designers submit photos of the work being developed it's a real thrill. This visit to the Lladró workshops was no exception.
I don't know anything about art except that I hate Rothko so I'm going to stick to design and give this one a thumbs up but a pass.
This should be the most liked post of the week, hands down. People, PEOPLE! How often do we see innovation with FLASKS? How about NEVER! I'm so sick of silver flasks with script type engraved into it. Give me something fresh and new! Seriously, if this flask was a man I'd ask it out on a date.

30. As It Should Be
It seemed not long before word came to Lothlorien of the happenings outside their fair woods. Faramir's attention was drawn to a small group of Elves gathered around the young Elf messenger. He hid in the shadows and took notice of the excitement in the Elf's voice. He spoke in elvish which Faramir understood enough of to know what he was saying.
"Celebrations are underway as we speak." the Elf messenger said. "The Elf Prince of Ithilien stays."
"But how did this happen?" asked another.
"They say Prince Legolas was on his ship and just about to set sail when a figure came, cloaked and hooded, riding in fast on a horse. It was soon reveled to be a woman shrouded in the cloak of Lothlorien. She jumped down and ran to the docks, informally shouting the Prince's name. He went to the side of the ship and looked down upon the traveler. She called up to him, asking him not to go. Most thought she was just some poor soul smitten with one of the fair folk, unable to accept their choice to leave Middle Earth. Imagine their surprise when the Prince leapt down from his ship and went to this woman. He scooped her up into his arms and lifted her off the ground. That was when it was realized this woman was the Lady of Rohan. The proof was in the kiss they shared and the look of joy on their faces. And so the Prince stays." The messenger finished with his brief account of his story.
Faramir felt his heart sink. So she has made her choice, he thought to himself. There was suddenly a hand upon his shoulder. Faramir looked back and found Haldir standing there.
"You should not take away too much of what the messenger says. He has been known to exaggerate for the sake of a good story." Haldir said softly.
"It is alright, Haldir. Somehow, I knew it would come to this. She belongs with him. They are a family, the three of them."
Haldir seemed to understand what Faramir knew all along. "What will you do now?"
Faramir laid a hand on the Marchwarden's shoulder. "It is time for me to go home, my friend. My city needs me. It is time to set things right in Osgiliath. It will once again shine as bright as the stars." he said proudly.
Haldir smiled. "It will once again be known as the jewel of Minas Tirith." Haldir walked with Faramir as he made his way to his talan, Eowyn's talan. "May you go with peace, Lord Faramir. You are always welcome here in Lothlorien."
"You will take good care of Caladwen until Eowyn returns?" Faramir asked.
"Of course. The child has hardly left my side." Haldir said and Faramir saw the slightest smile in the corner of the Elf's lips.
As they entered the talan, Caladwen jumped down from the elleth's lap, who had been watching her, and ran to Faramir wrapping around his leg. "Will you play with me, Daddy? I like when we play in the garden."
Faramir reached down and scooped her up in his arms. "I cannot refuse a chance to play in the gardens with you. Come, let's go."
Caladwen looked at Haldir. "Come play with us." It was more of a demand then an invitation.
"Not today, pen vuin (dear one). Today is for you and Faramir. Tomorrow we will play." Haldir said. He knew how much Faramir loved Caladwen even if she wasn't his own. She would miss Faramir when he left. Haldir would be there for Caladwen. It would not be the only time he would comfort her in her time of sorrow.
And so, Faramir and Caladwen spent the day together. He tried to explain to her his reason for leaving but she was too young to fully understand. He told her he would still visit her and maybe one day she would visit him. He let her know how much he loved her and always would. That night, Caladwen was missing her mother so he let the child nuzzle up to him in his bed and read to her all of her favorite stories until she fell asleep.
The next morning, Faramir took Caladwen to Haldir for her daily lessons. Before he left, he gave her one last hug. "Mama will be back soon and she brings your ada with her. You will finally be a real family. Be good for your Mama and listen to Haldir. He has a lot to teach you."
"Alright, Daddy." Caladwen said, not understanding what all was happening.
It pulled on his heartstrings to hear her call him that though it would be the last. From now on he would be known as Faramir, not her daddy. She would finally have her real father in her life and Faramir would surely be forgotten.
As he left the room, he bowed to Haldir. Haldir returned the gesture, something he only ever reserved for Lady Galadriel or Lord Celeborn.
Osgiliath was coming along nicely. Faramir was proud of all the hard work that had been done in his absence. His captains took pride in their accomplishments. A celebration was in order for the return of Lord Faramir. The people wished he would have his lady by his side this day, but it was not to be. Faramir put up a good front telling everyone he had expected this outcome and had accepted it long ago. It was a lie though. The loss of Eowyn to Legolas was still very new to him. He hid any signs of desolation from his people only allowing himself to grieve when it was late and he was alone in his chambers. Even then he tried not to dwell in this state for too long. Life must go on. There was no telling what the future would bring, perhaps another chance at love.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
A few months had passed. On this particular day, Faramir was at his home in Emyn Arnen, enjoying a quiet morning. There was a crispness in the air. Autumn was well on its way. It was his favorite time of the year. He looked forward to the changing colors of the forest. It was a beautiful scene to witness the oranges, yellows and reds of the leaves, however briefly it lasted. He decided to take an example from nature. The world was shedding its former self, becoming a clean slate. The winter would give it time to hibernate and learn from past mistakes. Nature would plan for the future with these in mind so that it would come back in the spring, ready to take on life again. Faramir would do just that. He would take time to think about all that had happened in his life so far. But there was a lot of life left for him. He would emerge a different man, stronger and greatly educated in more ways than one. He was, after all, a scholar at heart. He would take up his original love of documenting the events of the world. This would occupy his time and help him deal with the ghosts of his past, however recent they were.
He was sitting on his terrace one day, scripting his experiences in the battle for Osgiliath when he heard many voices down below. People were talking about a celebration taking place soon. When Faramir peeked over the railing to see who was conversing, his eyes widen for he did not expect to see the scene below. Many people were gathered around three tall glowing figures, Elves; not just any Elves, but the brothers of Lothlorien. Many young ladies surrounded them for they had never before seen Lorien Elves. They were quite different from the Ithilien Elves, broader in the shoulders and hair more silver than gold. Their smooth alabaster skin made them seem to glow and they stuck out like the brightest star in the night sky.
Faramir had to laugh at himself when he saw the look on Haldir's face as the young ladies all seemed to be fighting for his attention. Haldir merely rolled his eyes and paid them no mind. Rumil and Orophin were not left out of the ogling. They just seemed to tolerate the attention better and Faramir thought they might even be enjoying it a bit.
Finally, he heard Haldir raise his voice, as he was becoming a bit perturbed with the women. "Ladies, if you would kindly just tell me where to find Lord Faramir then we can be on our way and you can get back to doing what ever it is you do."
Faramir let him suffer a moment longer and then shouted down from his balcony. "Aye, Haldir of Lorien, you have found him. Come up and join me for a glass of fine elvish wine."
Haldir had a look of relief when he saw Faramir and made for the door. Rumil followed his brother but Orophin seemed to have caught the eye of a particular maiden who purposefully pranced around him like a cat in heat. He was enjoying this strange show of affection when Haldir called to him in elvish to hurry and 'leave that one alone for she was trouble'.
The Lorien Elves made their way up to Faramir's study where they were showed the way in. Faramir stood behind his desk smiling to his newfound friends. "Haldir, Rumil, Orophin it is so good to see you. What brings you to my fair city?"
"We have been told there is a new jewel in Gondor's crown and came to see for ourselves. Your people have done an excellent job, Faramir. Osgiliath shines brightly once again." Haldir said. "And you look particularly well. It seems city life has done you good."
"I never realized how much I missed my home until I got here. I promised my people I will never again be gone for such a long time." Faramir gestured for them to sit while he poured them some wine. They accepted graciously and seemed to relax a bit after all the formalities were out of the way. But Faramir knew Haldir well and there must be another reason for his visit.
"Come now, Haldir. What is the real reason for this meeting? You do not wander from your Golden Woods so easily, least of all to just roam about Middle Earth, visiting." Faramir said with a raised eyebrow.
"You are correct in your assumptions, Faramir." Haldir started. "Actually we have journeyed here as escorts for a special party of travelers. We wanted to tell you before you heard it from the streets below."
"Tell me what?" Faramir asked suspiciously.
"Prince Legolas has returned to his forest home in Ithilien." Haldir stated simply.
"Oh, I see." Faramir said trying not to seem disturbed by the news. "Well I'm sure the Elves that remain there are thrilled to have their Prince back." Faramir paused a moment. "And is Eowyn with him?"
"She… has returned." Haldir answered with a strange tone to his voice. "There is to be a celebration in honor of the Prince's return this evening. I have come here to personally invite you to the festivities. Being that you are the Lord of the lands of Ithilien, I thought it best to do this myself."
Faramir thought for a moment before answering. "I for one am glad beyond a doubt that Legolas has decided to stay in Middle Earth. He is and will always be a good friend. But I think I will choose to welcome him back on a more personal level and not join in the festivities tonight. Please send him my most sincere apologies. I will visit with him when he has settled back into his daily routine."
Haldir stood up, along with his brothers. "Very well then. I will let him know, though he will be disappointed by your exclusion." Haldir's countenance softened. "But I understand your reasoning." The Lorien Elves made to leave but Haldir turned to him once more. "It is very good to see you again Faramir. I can sense your contentment. You have done well."
Faramir wasn't sure what the Elf meant by that or why he smiled so slyly. Then again, he never much understood Haldir to begin with.
A little while later, there was a knock at his study door. "Come." he said and the door cracked open.
"My Lord Faramir, you have a visitor." said a maiden in a quiet mousy voice.
Thinking it was Haldir again, trying to convince him to come tonight he answered, "Send him in."
Faramir went back to signing the papers on his desk. He heard the door open and without looking up he spoke. "Haldir, I gave you my answer. No amount of pestering me will make me change my…"
He looked up as he was talking and stopped mid sentence when he saw it was not Haldir who had come.
"Eowyn." he whispered as if he were seeing an apparition.
"Hello, Faramir." she said quietly. "May I come in?" She almost expected him to send her away.
"Of course, please, come in." he said standing up at once as was proper etiquette when a lady entered the room.
Eowyn walked in, looking around his study. It was much brighter than she remembered, but those had been dark days then and had long since passed. She walked up to Faramir's desk. He gestured for her to sit but she refused. "Haldir tells me you have turned down Legolas' invitation."
"Yes, I'm afraid so. I will see him soon though." Faramir said feeling like a child who was caught in a lie. "You look beautiful as ever." he said trying to divert her attention.
Eowyn felt a blush coming on but fought it back. "Thank you. Osgiliath is magnificent. The recovery efforts have gone well beyond expectation."
"I take no credit for that. Most of the work was done in my stead. My men have gone to extremes to get the city back in order before my return. They are very proud as am I." Faramir said, not being able to look away from her.
Eowyn felt his eyes on her. "Is there something wrong?" she said looking down and checking her attire.
"No, no. I'm sorry if I stare. It's just… you seem different to me. It's like I'm seeing you for the first time. You seem… whole." Faramir tore his eyes away from her. "I'm glad you found what you were looking for." he said knowing she had given her heart and soul to Legolas.
"Faramir, I'm glad you noticed. I am finally whole again but there is more to the story than you know. I would like to tell you if you will lend me your ear for a bit." she said innocently.
"Eowyn, I'm not sure this is such…" he started.
"Please, Faramir?"
"Very well." he said giving in. "But let us go out on the terrace. It is far too beautiful a day to spend it cooped up inside. I'll get us some wine."
Eowyn smiled and took a seat on the divan which was covered by the shade of a nearby oak. Faramir came back with two goblets of wine and some bread. He handed Eowyn her wine, sat the bread on a nearby table and took a seat across from her on a comfortable chair.
Before he let her start he had one question. "Where is Caladwen?"
"She is with Legolas. He is showing her around Ithilien." Eowyn paused looking into her glass. "You know, she missed you terribly when you left."
"I'm sorry, Eowyn. I never meant to cause any distress. My time had come and I needed to get back home."
"Why did you not wait for me?" she asked.
"There was no reason to stay any longer. I felt I had no place in Lorien since you had made your… choice."
"And how did you come to find out about my choice before my return?"
"I heard the young messenger Elf telling the others of a woman draped in a Lorien cloak and of how she lured the Prince from his ship with nothing more than the sound of her voice. There is more but I shall not repeat it." Faramir didn't think it appropriate.
"I know the messenger of whom you speak. He is quite the storyteller, the way he exaggerates things. And so from the message of a flamboyant Elf you decided to leave?" Eowyn prodded.
"Well, you seem to know more. Tell me your story then." Faramir said, nestling into his chair and sipping his wine.
A few months earlier…
Eowyn rode as fast as she could with Rumil and Orophin leading the way. They only rested long enough for their horses to recover. When they were within sight of the shore, the Lorien brothers halted. They sent Eowyn on the rest of the way by herself. It was not far now.
It was late morning when she arrived. The first thing that caught her eye was the ship. It was magnificent with its white sails billowing in the wind. She saw the familiar faces of some of the Ithilien Elves at the dock. And then her eyes fell on Legolas. He was standing up top, looking towards the sky. When Eowyn followed his stare, she saw the gulls circling overhead. The sea longing she thought and hoped it wasn't too late. She jumped down from her horse and ran to the docks.
"Legolas. Legolas." she shouted but he seemed not to hear her. Slowly he turned toward the direction of her voice.
Legolas thought it was a dream. Was that really Eowyn standing on the dock calling his name, or was he caught in another dream like all the other ones? He rubbed his eyes and looked again but she was still there.
"Legolas." she called again and he ran to the edge of the ship looking down on her. "Please don't go. Please stay. Stay for us, for your daughter if nothing else, but please, don't leave." she cried. Eowyn had finally found her voice.
Legolas stood there a moment, a tear in his eye as he heard the words he longed to hear. Gimli came up next to him and nudged the Elf with his elbow. "Well, what are you waiting for? Go to her."
With cat like movement, Legolas leapt over the side of the ship and landed on the dock below. "Say it again, meleth."
"Don't go, Legolas Thranduilion." she said between sobs.
Legolas went to her and embraced her in his arms, lifting her from the ground. He kissed her and they laughed like never before. The other Elves watched the scene play out before them. The Prince of Mirkwood would not sail this day and they were glad. Legolas was given a reprieve all because Eowyn had found her voice.
And so Legolas, Eowyn, Rumil, Orophin and Gimli all returned to Lothlorien. It was a day full of joy. Even the trees seemed brighter that day. But the best part of the day was when Caladwen saw Legolas again.
"Ada, you're back." she yelled and went to him as fast as she could. Legolas' face lit up at the sound of her voice and a new life seemed to emanate from him. A special connection, a bond seemed to form between father and daughter. Legolas lifted Caladwen high in the air and spun her around, laughing. His eyes were lit up and he was glowing.
That's when Eowyn realized what she was meant to do all along. She had to set Legolas free, free of the bond that they shared. It was not for her to hold any longer. Caladwen was to be the bond which held him here in Middle Earth, just as he had been for Thranduil. The words of the she-elf from her dream came back to her. Eowyn was not, nor could she ever be bonded to Legolas in the way of the Elves. It was time to release him and in the process, free herself.
Later, when Caladwen was asleep and all was quiet, Eowyn and Legolas went for a walk. The stars and the moon came out from behind a cloud and Legolas stopped to admire them. "I guess the stars will have to wait a while longer." he said. Then he took Eowyn in his arms and kissed her. "Thank you for coming back. I had accepted my fate long ago but always hoped there was some other way. Your love for me halted my leaving."
Eowyn looked to the ground. "But my love is not strong enough to keep you here. You know how much I love you, Legolas, and I always will. Yet, I cannot be the reason you stay. You must stay for Caladwen. She needs you now."
Legolas studied Eowyn's face. He knew what it was she needed to do. He waited for her to continue. Eowyn wrapped her arms around him and nuzzled her face in his chest. She could hear his heart beating. It was strong. He was so alive, more than he had ever been since they admitted their love for each other.
"Legolas, I have to release you. I can no longer give you my soul. You have another bond which will tie you to the earth. The love between a father and daughter can never be broken but you must be whole. Legolas, I release you from our bond. To set you free means to set myself free also."
Legolas held her close to him as if he couldn't let go. But as she spoke these words to him, he could feel a change. He could no longer sense her. She had separated from him. It was done. At the same instant, he felt a tugging sensation towards another, his daughter. He could be with her, raise her, and teach her. She would become the most important thing in his life. He would not fade, nor would he sail before his time. The promise he made to Aragorn and the fellowship could be fulfilled. Not until the fellowship had dissolved would he sail to the Undying Lands. A sense of relief and loss washed over him.
"I accept this release." he finally said. "I understand why you do this." He took Eowyn's chin and tilted her head so he could look into her eyes. "Your choice, it was always Faramir. Never have two people been through so much and still manage to find their way back to each other. I think we are all back where we belong now. I meant it when I said I will always love you. That I cannot change but your heart and soul should belong to him."
Eowyn couldn't help crying but it was a mixture of tears of sorrow and tears of joy. "It is true that the human heart can love more than just one for I will always love you too, Legolas." She wiped the tears from her face, took a deep breath and looked up to the night sky.
Legolas watched her and as she exhaled, he saw a shift in her demeanor. "How do you feel now?" he asked with his crooked smile.
She looked at him, touched the side of his face and answered with a smile. "Whole."
"Let's go home." he said.
"Home." Eowyn repeated. "I will finally have a place to call my own."
Present day…
Eowyn finished her story and sat silent. Faramir stood up and walked to where she sat. He got down on his knees and drew her into an embrace. "I thought you were gone, that your mind was made up. It seemed like the obvious choice, to be with the father of your child. I didn't think I had anything more to offer. I'm sorry I left Lorien."
Eowyn cradled him in her arms. "I made my choice long ago and that has never changed. I love you, Faramir and I want to be with you, to marry you. I gave you my heart long ago when we first shared in a secret kiss. Now I give you my soul."
"For so long it has seemed but a dream that you would be with me." Faramir said looking into her eyes. "Without you, I cannot breathe. You are the reason I live. This is it my love. This is finally our time. I promise to never let you go again."
"And I promise to never leave your side." Eowyn said, a tear running down her cheek. "This is our forever."
Faramir brushed the tear from her face, letting his fingers linger on her skin. He leaned into her and brushed his lips across hers. It had been a long time since he felt this same spark. It was as if they shared their first kiss. Nothing had ever felt so right. He deepened the kiss and their tongues touched and caressed. "How long do we have before Caladwen is brought home?"
"Why, whatever are you suggesting my lord?" she said playfully.
"I want to ravish you. I want to take you in my arms and feel your skin on mine. I want all of you." he breathed into her ear, setting her body alight.
"We have all day. I do not think we will be disturbed for the rest of the day, at least not until the celebration tonight." she said as Faramir kiss her neck.
"I almost forgot about that. It seems I will be able to attend after all." Faramir lifted Eowyn in his arms and carried her to the bedroom. "That is, if we can manage to tear ourselves away from our bedchamber." He lowered her onto the bed and began undressing her.
"I think we will have worked up an appetite by then." she said as she unlaced his leather breeches.
Soon they were both naked and laying side by side on their bed. Faramir kissed her all over, starting with her neck and working his way down to her breasts. Eowyn arched into him. She could feel his arousal pushed against her thigh. Her hands went into his hair, fingers entwined in his long waves. Faramir rolled them so that he was lying on top of her. She eased her legs apart, inviting him to continue. Faramir rested just at her entrance. He gazed longingly into her eyes.
"I finally have you, all of you." he whispered as he slid into her body. She was warm and moist with want.
"Forever, my love." she answered, feeling him fill her.
They set their rhythm. Their bodies slid against each other, writhing and thrusting together until the first wave of their climax rose to a new level of ecstasy. Together they yelled out each other's names as they reached the ultimate pinnacle of love making. Slowly, they came down from the heavens and once again gazed upon one another.
"Wow." Faramir panted. He was still trying to catch his breath. "I have never felt anything like that before."
Eowyn brushed the hair from her face. "Neither have I. You were… that was… magical… unearthly…." She couldn't think of the right word.
Faramir kissed her and smiled. "Eternal, my love."
After a very brief rest, the lovers began all over again, many times actually. They spent the whole day in bed, enjoying their newfound love for each other, undisturbed.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the nearby forest of Ithilien, Legolas was playing with Caladwen, enjoying fatherhood. Haldir sat with them, upon Caladwen's request. Suddenly Legolas stopped what he was doing and looked out into the distance. Haldir noticed the change in his demeanor.
"What is it Legolas? What do you sense?" he asked.
Legolas closed his eyes and smiled. "A new life has been conceived." he said and looked to his daughter. "It seems Caladwen will have a little brother." Even Haldir managed a smile at this bit of news.
Legolas breathed deep, enjoying his new strength and bond with his daughter. "Everything is… as it should be."

Have mixed reviews from a lot of people on this subject but for a Rye Kolsch for a Hallertau hop substitute would you use which of the following, Mt. Hood, Saaz or Tettnang? Thanks everyone.
For hallertauer, tettnang would be the closest sub. Saaz and Mt. Hood aren't bad subs, though.
Liberty, too.
Mt Hood is genetically a Hallertau and would be my sub of choice.

IBM Smart Business solutions are a comprehensive portfolio of cloud offerings primarily in the areas of Infrastructure as Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS), although they do deliver Software as a Service (SaaS) with Tivoli Services Management and LotusLive for online collaboration. IBM's Smart Business Services and Smart Business Systems cover just about anything an enterprise customer, Independent Software Vendor (ISV), or Service Provider (SP) would need to build and deploy cloud-based services, whether as a private cloud behind the corporate firewall or by leveraging a public cloud, such as an IBM Cloud or another provider's cloud.
None listed.

Website: www.ibm.com
IBM has the breadth and depth from across it's business units -- software, hardware, and services -- to allow it to play a significant role in the advent of cloud computing. They have a wide range of cloud computing offerings across each pillar -- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service -- though primarily in IaaS and PaaS.
IBM is focused on helping businesses move to a "dynamic infrastructure" so they can deliver cloud-based services as part of their own enterprise, that is, within their own organization via a private cloud or through a third-party provider as part of a public cloud (e.g. Amazon EC2). Not surprisingly, IBM's Dynamic Infrastructure forms the basis for their cloud strategy since it encompasses and extends so much of IBM's intellectual property, especially in the areas of virtualization, automation, and standardization.
Recently, IBM went through a re-branding of their cloud portfolio wrapping things up under the banner of IBM Smart Business, a combination of products and services to help foster cloud computing across an organization and in the areas of "software development and testing, desktop and device management, and collaboration". As with all cloud computing services, the goal is to improve flexibility and scalability and end-user experience, while driving down the costs associated with building and maintaining the infrastructure required to support a traditional corporate data center.
All together, IBM sees the benefits of cloud computing from the perspective of the enterprise as it relates to its the end-users. Their history suggests they will take a very enterprise-centric approach given their product portfolio, customer base, countless consulting engagements and experience with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). SOA is critical for enterprise success in driving value out of cloud computing.
Whether its IBM Smart Business Services with all the elements required to take advantage of, deliver and/or enable cloud-based services, including professional services, or IBM Smart Business Systems with integrated software and hardware appliances that are "cloud-ready," IBM is positioning itself to deliver value to its customers through cloud computing.
Value Proposition
IBM Smart Business Services helps to ensure the benefits of cloud computing -- capacity on demand, capital expense reduction, greater IT flexibility -- are realized by bringing consulting expertise into the mix.
IBM Smart Business Test Cloud targets areas ripe for improvement -- software development and the infrastructure that supports it, which is often well under-utilized. Significant "savings over traditional capital and licensing costs (up to 75% in some cases), as well as on operating and labor costs (up to 50%)...also leads to reduced software defects normally caused by faulty configurations and poor modeling."
IBM Smart Business Desktop Cloud results in greater flexibility by scaling resources to meet demand, driving better asset utilization and lowering energy costs.
IBM Computing on Demand gives customers capacity on demand without having to invest in the infrastructure to get there, increasing time-to-market and reducing cost and complexity. Customers gain improved service levels, reduced costs, and can better address issues related to security and compliance.
Products & Services
- IBM Smart Business Services consist of professional services for customers that want to implement a cloud-based solution either within their enterprise, as private cloud, or on the IBM cloud (i.e. IBM's public cloud).
- IBM Smart Business Test Cloud is IBM's private cloud offering that gets deployed behind a company's firewall for purposes of security. Customers can choose to use IBM's cloud-based appliances (see below) to deploy a private cloud and then "manage and interact with complex IT topologies deployed in the cloud."
- IBM Smart Business Desktop Cloud brings virtualization to desktop environments running Windows or Linux.
- Smart Business Development and Test on the IBM Cloud allows users to access and leverage the IBM Cloud for application development and testing using IBM Rational tools.
- LotusLive provides an integrated collaboration and social networking services to simplify and improve the daily business interactions between customers, partners and colleagues.
- IBM Smart Business Systems are appliances -- integrated hardware, middleware, and applications -- that helps a company implement cloud services quickly and more easily, whether it is implemented as a private cloud or via a public cloud. IBM CloudBurst 1.1 is built on the IBM BladeCenter platform. The IBM WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance provides a ready-to-go, cloud computing platform with specialized images for creating and deploying application environments based on IBM WebSphere software.
- IBM Service Management Software, built on the Tivoli Service Management Platform, is focused on the back office or operational concerns of IT management. It is also comprised of best practices, methodologies, and services to help deliver IT services to end-users within an enterprise.
- IBM Computing on Demand (CoD) is an enterprise-level solution that can provide organizations with flexible compute power based on the needs of each organization. It is IBM's pay-as-you-go infrastructure offering.
- IBM Cloud Labs are staffed with subject matter experts ready to help clients take advantage of the benefits of cloud computing. For developers there's the IBM Cloud Space on developerWorks.

Things have been weird and almost distorted around here. I am near whisper as I am very horse from this sickness that is still hanging around. It rained several days in a row, which is not good for an almost 3 yeard old little boy named Ollie. He was climbing the walls! Also, I thought that since we can now see Wyatt's two bottom teeth, he would have a break from teething, but it doesn't appear that way. There is another tooth, somewhere in there, trying to get out! I even had a lady at the store look at him and tell me to tie a shark steak around his neck and let it hang down his back; or to bury black eyed peas under the steps (file under ewww, or Reasons I Love Living Back in the South)

It's been stuck in my head for days and I don't think I can cure it until I figure it out. I should be simple. I think it was in There's Something About Mary... but I didn't recognize it when I wiki'd the soundtrack.

I have no idea?
I have no idea?
*thinks* I don't know.......sorry.
Sorry, no idea. I tried to search for it, nothing came up.
Smileys + Me =
I think that's only a figure or just a toy made....I think that's not a character from any of an anime....
she looks like a character from secret of mana III
but that girl isn't a mermaid in there...I hope it helps..
sorry... no idea.
it looks like the poseidon doughter, but it is not.
i do not know.
My closest guess - it's an anime version of The Little Mermaid's main character... uh-oh, I've forgotten her name. From what I know, there were a few versions of The Little Mermaid released in Japan - it has been adapted into animated films more than most other Western fairy tales. An example is Maho no Mako-chan (Magical Mako-chan), though I doubt that's the anime you're looking for.

1. What were you looking for when you came to BYOND?
I was looking for a utility to help me learn how to create multiplayer games.
2. What were your first frustrations?
Well, the users on those DBZ fangames and IC rips weren't exactly friendly, and I guess channel organization (though when I came, a good deal of DBZ fangames were in the fangame section.)
3. How did you learn how to program (or to use the Dream Seeker)?
I first started programming by use of the Icon Chatterz coding available on the hub. I did this four about two years and then I found the developer forum where I started learning all sorts of practices.
Moving into the present...
7. What new documentation do you think would be useful, if any?
I'd like to know about some of the undocumented procedures, I've found some to be pretty useful, like client.Command(). Also, I think examples should be provided for all documented procedures and operators and documentation should really just be updated.
8. What do YOU think about the layout of the website, both the "play" and "develop" sides? What would you change to make it easier and more useful for players and developers, new and old?
Well, it took me two years to find the develop side of BYOND. I think there should be a tab on the front BYOND page for it; if there is, I'm sorry, I usually just go directly to http://developer.byond.com . I think that orange gradient bar needs to be removed.

Glam Metal
Throughout the majority of the '80s, the glam metal scene dominated the charts, sales, and all of L.A. With Quiet Riot having the first metal album go to the number 1 spot on Billboard (the first time in metal history) with Metal Health in 1983, record companies began to formulate Glam metal on a much larger scale.
Glam metal (or hair/pop metal) was a sub genre that took a completely different turn from the basis laid out by Black Sabbath in 1970. Instead taking more of an influence from Led Zeppelin's good time, arena rock.
Van Halen is often attributed as the first Glam metal band. Releasing Van Halen in 1978, it took the music in a much different direction. Alot less emphasis on the occult, darkness of Sabbath. It took influence from the British glam artists of the early '70s and added in the heavy power cord based rock from metal. But Van Halen was alot heavier then most Glam metal bands and never wore makeup like the subsequent bands they influenced, and i personally dont put them in that category, but they definitly influenced the Sunset strip bands.
Emphasis on partying, sex, drugs, and excess were throughout the lyrics. Famous Glam metal bands include, Motley Crue (early in their career), Poison, Whitesnake, Quiet Riot, and Twisted Sister. Bands acted a little more sleezy, wore feminime outfits, and wore makeup to stand out.
In 1985, Motley Cure released the Theatre of Pain
album, with the power ballad hit, 'Home Sweet Home'. Which became a
huge success, with in 2 months selling a million copies and going platnium.
Record companies began to manufacture bands, and have them release power ballads for sales.
A huge trend of power ballads began to appear. Including, "Is this love"
by Whitesnake, "More than words" by Extreme, "Every Rose has it's thorn" by Poison,
"Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)" by Cinderella and soo many
more. Glam became processed, and extremely formulaic.
Throughout the Glam scene, hardcore metal fans hated Glam and everything it stood for. Bands like Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Pantera, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and many more, stuck to their guns and kept playing hard rock/heavy metal. They wanted aggressive sounding music, and thrash began to emerge around this time. Blending punk, and metal together produced Thrash metal.
While Glam metal bands owned the charts, thrash metal bands had the loyalty of true metal fans.
By the time of the late '80s, Glam was beginning to die. A band by the name of Guns N' Roses came on to the L.A. scene and introduced a much more punk and rawer sound than what the other bands around the time had been producing. They released Appetite for Destruction in 1987 to enormous success, and is still the best selling debut album by any band. They proved you could be successful, and heavy at the exact same time.
Metal began to change, the thrash bands began getting recognition more and more. In 1988 Metallica released ...And Justice for all, which went to number 6 on the Billboard 200, and went platnium Pantera released Cowboys from Hell in 1990, Skid Row's album Slave to the Grind, became the first metal album to debut at number 1 on Billboard, shortly before Metallica released the Black Album. Glam metal was being fazed for the heavyness people were missing from Glam.
In 1988 Penelope Spheeris directed The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years. A documentary about the excess of Glam metal in L.A. from 1986-1988, it exposed the Glam world to the rest of the nation, and brought light to it, to the musicians. It featured many Glam musicians talking about the music. One memorable scene featured Chris Holmes from W.A.S.P. as he drank almost an entire bottle of vodka while already intoxicated in his swimming pool. As fans started to realize more and more about the Glam scene, they turned elsewhere.
The last nail in Glam's was the rise of Grunge in the early '90s. The focus quickly shifted to Seattle, Washington to the grunge scene, which became a huge movement.
The glam scene was reminicisnt of the excess of Reaganomics and of the 1980's. Most bands would like to not be associated with the scene. But it is an important step in music in America, that help lead to the rise of Thrash and Grunge.

Orange Cinéday
Tuesdays won't be the same again in France, thanks to Cinéday. Every Tuesday, Orange offers its customers two tickets for the price of one. They just need to decide which lucky person they will take with them.
It all began in 2004 in the United Kingdom with "Orange Wednesdays", an initiative undertaken as part of the brand's commitment to cinema. Since then, Orange has welcomed more than 27 million customers to the cinema, and the offer that has now been extended to eight other countries.
The concept has now been unveiled in France under the name "Orange Cinéday." Every Tuesday, Orange offers its customers two tickets for the price of one. They just need to decide which lucky person they will take with them.
with Orange Cinéday, going to the cinema is no longer just a weekend activity
All of our Orange customers in Metropolitan France can benefit from the Cinéday offer, no matter what plan they are on.
This offer is valid for all public screenings in Orange's partner movie theaters, except for premieres. Orange is bringing together the largest movie theater networks and is expanding its offer every day to include a number of independent cinemas.
Customers can order their Cinéday code from the Wednesday to the Tuesday before their chosen screening using their mobile, landline or online at www.cineday.fr.
All they need to do is present their code at the ticket booth at one of Orange's partner movie theaters to obtain two tickets for the price of one. Customers can use as many codes as they have Orange accounts, and can take advantage of the offer every week. Please note: the code is only valid for the Tuesday following the order.
Orange Cinéday at the heart of the digital world
Orange has developed a vibrant community of daily content for all things Cinéday
- a "Cinéday" app for your mobile. Available on Android and iPhone, it enables customers to receive their code, and get all the latest cinema news directly on their mobile: trailers, synopses, reviews, etc.
- a Dailymotion channel. Since February 21, 2012, the funny videos directed by the "Motion makers" have been viewed almost 1.4 million times by internet surfers using the Cinéday playlist.
- the Cinéday website and Orange Facebook pages.
on May 10, 2012, Cinéday celebrates its first birthday
Since the launch of Cinéday on May 10, 2011, nearly one million cinema tickets have been given away to Orange customers, allowing them to share a moment of conviviality with someone close to them. The record was beaten on May 8, when 42,900 tickets were snapped up!
A study carried out by BVA in April 2012 on a panel of Cinéday users shows that the customers like the Cinéday offer. Furthermore, Orange Cinéday has also had a positive impact on the film industry.
Finally, just like in the movies, a child in hospital is still just a child! Orange supports the French association, "Les Toiles Enchantées."
