the bios of this mainbord do have an vga for pci option i sett it to yes.. but noting work.
bios and later the loading linux/radeon do not show a video signal on hdmi/dvi/vga..
"You won't get any video on boot up until the radeon driver loads however."
this is a bug.. someone should fix it.
Anything that requires loads of throughput tends to be slow on PCI cards and KMS. Fullscreen games and video are quite bad.
It was only relatively recently that r600g became usable for me on a PCI 4350. I was sticking to classic for that reason alone. I don't know which optimisation did it, but now KWin does not switch off compositing after a while.

Kountze, tx — Kountze I.S.D. administrators have banned run-through banners at football games if they display religious messages. The superintendent made the decision after receiving a complaint.
Kountze cheerleaders say the idea for banners with scriptures from the bible came up at cheer camp.
The idea of came from Meagan Tantillo and was backed by her cheer mates.
"Coaches preach devotionals before games. We wanted to show our support for our boys," Tantillo said.
In a town of just more than 2000 people the signs are the talk of the town. Mainly after administrators ordered that run-through banners with Christian messages could no longer be allowed.
Someone asked the superintendent to remove the messages from the run-through banners at the football games. No one knows who asked the superintendent but he says he was reluctant to do so.
In response, Tantillo and her cheer mates made Christian signs for Tuesday's volleyball game against Warren High School.
In a statement Superintendent Kevin Weldon said, "I commend them for what they stand for. But I called legal counsel and even though it's lead by students, it should not be allowed to go on,"
Now many are standing behind the cheerleaders including the football players who run through the banner.
The idea made Kountze football mom Ashley Brown emotional.
"Makes me proud that they're willing to stand up, and believe in God," Brown said.
Even Warren High volleyball players were on board. They gathered with Kountze volleyball players in prayer Tuesday.
The cheerleaders plan to continue showing their faith at games anyway they can.
"We aren't backing down," Tantillo said.
The cheerleaders say they chose Christian messages to break away from the stereotypical signs that say 'claw the tigers' or 'scalp the indians'.
They say they wanted inspiring and uplifting messages instead.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
Let me share an important lesson from last week. A wonderful woman in a Midwestern city developed a serious medical problem. She sought care in her community. The care was competent, but there was no chemistry between patient and providers. The nurturing aspect was missing.
The patient and her family searched online for another health care organization. They found one with a very appealing website that featured powerful testimonials and a promise of professionalism. However, things didn't go well there either, and the patient returned home in a weakened condition. (The adage about something sounding too good to be true comes to mind.)
The patient sought care at other institutions and became increasingly frustrated because at no time were her medical records in one place. She relied on the medical organizations to transmit medical data to one another, and this simply doesn't happen in a coherent way.
The sad reality is that you can't rely on a system that is disorganized and fragmented. Nor can you rely on the goodwill and good intentions of others. As President Harry Truman said, "The buck stops here." When it comes to your health, you are your own best advocate. You must take control and be proactive.

I always love your care for each one of us, Dr. Creagan. Thanks so much.
Yes, we are responsible for our health and it takes a lot of time and effort if one has a disease and there's no one but yourself and your doctors. But I have been blessed with the finest doctors who I know care about the quality of my life. They are geographically not in my back yard so I travel to see them and feel so good when I am with them! One needs to believe their doctor is the Best!
However, some of my so called friends don't understand why I travel for medical care but they have never been in my shoes with all kinds of misdiagnoses locally.
It does hurt me what they feel about me but it's hard to just give their long term so called friendships up but it seems that's what happens.
We need to be with supportive friends and family besides our doctors we have faith in and are supporting us emotionally.
Is this typical with friends and family...either the best or the worst comes out it seems? And, sometimes to me there is a bit of jealousy on their part...what do you all experience?
Do you feel your friends and family feel we may be feeling closer to the doctors because of their expertise and caring manner than to them that may be causing their non-supportive behavior?
Thanks for your comments.
A resource for developing the skills in advocating for your own best health with doctors, nurses and the health care system that helped me during my recent long illness is the book: "Sick and Tired of Feeling Sick and Tired- Living with Invisible Chronic Illness" by Paul Donoghue and Mary Siegel.
This book offers much information, especially in the area of communication skills with your self, family and doctors-it helped me immeasurably. I am a RN and have worked for 24 years in a clinic system, and I discovered that being a patient required I develop some new skills and strengthen others if I was going to be a successful advocate for my own healthcare. For me it wasn't always easy, although I do think it is important.
I would add that when you are not feeling well enough to advocate for yourself, consider asking a spouse, friend or family member to help you: Look for the helpers, and ask for help. It's my opinion that every patient needs an advocate, whether that advocate is yourself or someone who cares about you.
It sounds like you're saying if we don't like the care at one place, don't try another provider.
Great article. I have a story on this, although not as serious as the one you mentioned. I was having allergy issues and needed a nasal spray, but when I tried to convince my internist that it was allergies (which I've dealt with for years), he kept trying to have me take a test for the swine flu. I refused and the nurse happened to mention it wasn't covered by my insurance anyway and it would have cost me $300. Always do your research and know your body!
My father lived in France for two years. He told me that patients there are given their own medical records, and told to be responsible for them. Patients have enough to deal with when they are sick, trying to hang on to a job, locate a health care professional for a second opinion, go out of town for the second opinion, get their travel arrangements, house, yard, family/pets, finances, etc. in order before they leave. They do not need to add to all this, any additional stress of trying to extract copies of their complete medical records from bureaucracies in my opinion. If my father is correct, the French have the right idea.
We as patients are our own best advocates as well as for those we love. I think the reason for this is the doctor is aware of only as much information as the patient gives him and that is a very small percentage. It helps to have a trusted doctor to help along with this. I think this is primary care vs. specialty care. Sure, mistakes will be made but that is life.
It may not be right but it is true. If you want things done right sometimes you have to do them yourself. In the healthcare system its supposed to be all about the patient. This is the word that go around the organization but when it all comes down to it things fall short. They have 1 person taking a on a work load of about 3 or 4 people. With a system like that something is bound to fall thru the crack. I agree with Dr. Creagan; Take the time to help yourself, because in the end that may be all you get or it may give the people serving you that little extra push to great customer service. It's difficult for them working with the sick public all the time and very few people ever being preparted.
I really think this is not right. If a person goes thru the proper people and that's thier job, the papper work should be in the right place. The problem is we as people give too many EXCUSES for other peoples. JUST DO YOUR JOB.

Today on DiorMag discover the accessories from the cruise 2015 collection shown Wednesday evening in Brooklyn.
Everything is a question of attitude. Over the course of sixty-six looks the Dior woman revealed herself by turns daring and powerful. At arm's length and with a natural sense of ease, she carries her bag like a clutch bag, in ecru leather or in a glazed chestnut-colored precious skin. Nonchalantly tied on a whim or forming an integral part of her high heels, a black or midnight blue scarf twists around her ankles and underlines her easy, fluid allure.
She steps out in urban sandals, too, their black heels contrasting with a silk scarf lacing. This new Dior woman is elegant, but her elegance is utterly innate.

This article includes a one-page preview that quickly summarizes the key ideas and provides an overview of how the concepts work in practice along with suggestions for further reading.
It's a manager's perennial question: "How do I get an employee to do what I want?" The psychology of motivation is very complex, but the surest way of getting someone to do something is to deliver a kick in the pants--put bluntly, the KITA. Companies usually resort to positive KITAs, ranging from fringe benefits to employee counseling. But although a KITA might produce some change in behavior, it doesn't motivate. Frederick Herzberg, whose work influenced a generation of scholars and managers, likens motivation to an internal generator. An employee with an internal generator, he argues, needs no KITA. Achievement, recognition for achievement, the work itself, responsibility, and growth or advancement motivate people. The author cites research showing that those intrinsic factors are distinct from extrinsic, or KITA, elements that lead to job dissatisfaction. Jobs can be changed and enriched. Managers should focus on positions where people's attitudes are poor. The investment needed in industrial engineering is cost effective, and motivation will make a difference in performance.
learning objective:
To appreciate the importance of providing interesting, challenging work and growth opportunities to motivate employees.
subjects covered:
Employee benefits; Employee development; Human relations movement; Incentives; Job satisfaction; Motivation; Rewards

As much as I don't want to believe it. Unity is by far slower than Windows. It also takes forever to boot. There seems to be something hanging between login and logout that takes about 60 seconds to get passed it. The unity panel itself lags when scrolling up and down the menus and the dash menu has a big delay when opening. It feels like Windows 7 when you got infected with a bunch of malware 0_o
"Ubuntu Unity Proves Very Slow To KDE, GNOME, Xfce, LXDE" - in games and synthetic benchmarks, OH NOES!
Interesting results, especially KWin fullscreen compositing vs fullscreen suspended. Compare this with the Phoronix results published earlier showing that with the Catalyst drivers give the same performance, fullscreen compositing enabled or not. What does this say about the Catalyst and Intel drivers? I guess performance should be the same whether or not compositing is enabled, non?

24. The Servant of Mordor
Unwilling to leave his sweet dream, he groaned as he opened bleary eyes to see Halbarad's dirt-caked boots before his face in the dim light of early dawn. He turned over. "What is it?"
"He's gone again."
Jolted completely awake, Aragorn sat up. "What? How?"
"He walked, I guess." Halbarad's face was rigid with fury, his voice tight. "You said you would wake if he moved."
Dismayed, Aragorn threw off his cloak and rose in one swift movement. "A fine watch you keep."
Halbarad growled. "He's better than both of us. What do we do now? Chase after him again?"
A sick, hollow feeling gnawed at Aragorn's gut. "He may be ill and wandering. Or taken. Something is terribly wrong. What choice do we have but to see it through?"
"To our deaths, maybe," Halbarad said. He began to gather his things.
Aragorn stooped to gather his cloak and healer's kit, that had lay at his side through the night, but when he stood up, it was to see Beleg's swift form moving silently and gracefully into the clearing. "Good morning, young ones! Awake at last?"
Relief and rage warred in Aragorn's heart. "Where have you been?"
Beleg's fine mouth curved in an amused smile. He had shaved again, Aragorn noted with amazement. "Scouting ahead, of course. I found this knife. A sign of the enemy, I believe." He lifted up a silver dagger with a short, broad blade. "We must go that way."
Aragorn reached out for the weapon, but Beleg quickly sheaved it in his belt. "Your treatments have cured me, young healer. Have no worry."
Swallowing his fury, Aragorn scanned his vital face and vigorous figure, looking for any sign of illness or madness. ""You look very well, my friend."
"Indeed, I feel as if I were newly born today." His eyes and his smile picked up the light of the rising sun.
"Still, I would advise some caution, till we are sure you are quite fit."
Beleg laughed, a hearty, triumphant roll of bliss. "Oh, it's been some time since I felt this well. Why, I doubt you two young ones can keep pace with me. Come, we go to find Daeron. I believe this knife is a sign of where he may be."
As Beleg scattered the ashes of their fire, Halbarad beckoned to Aragorn and whispered in his ear. "The madness may yet grip him. I have heard of this: a man goes from despair to elation in mysterious ways. Beleg always was a man of strong feelings."
"Perhaps," Aragorn said. "We will continue to watch him. I do not know what else to do but to follow him. He knows this land better than we do, and a hunt for Daeron is our best course. Perhaps at last we will meet with the reinforcements from Thurnost."
Halbarad looked as worried and unsure as Aragorn felt. "Elladan and Elrohir expected to join us, too."
"I doubt my foster brothers will have finished their journey with their father," said Aragorn. "From their hints, I expected the journey would be a long one. They'll come when their duty is over."
Beleg turned abruptly toward them. His eyes sparkled like night stars. "The sons of Elrond will come?"
Surprised that he had heard their whispers, Aragorn gazed curiously at his shining face. "Yes, they plan to join our Orc hunt, as I believe I told you. But no Orc hunt will happen unless we've discovered their den."
"They are here. I saw them from Wolf's Head." Beleg pointed east. "That's the way we must go, and we will find Daeron too, that traitor."
"How do you know that? What sign does this knife give?"
"I know, that's all." He raised one elegant brow in challenge. "Perhaps you, too, will one day learn such things of the wild. Or you could say I dreamed it. Are you coming?"
Halbarad snorted, but strapped his pack to his back. His bow was strung and waiting. "Let's waste no more time."
With even greater care than usual, Aragorn fastened his sword belt around his waist and felt at least some relief to have Morchamion hanging ready at his side. As he took his place behind Halbarad and Beleg, he felt under his tunic for the red-and-black damasked knife that his great-grandmother had given him in memory of his great-grandfather Argonui. Somehow he felt he would soon have need of it.
They set off at the quickest pace that stealth would allow, halting only to eat scanty meals and traveling into the evening. When at last they stopped for the night, Aragorn and Halbarad dropped with weariness. Beleg laughed. "I said it would be so. I will keep watch so you children can get your rest."
Troubled but at a loss for any other course of action, Aragorn rolled into his cloak and slept. That night, when he from time to time turned restlessly, he would see Beleg standing straight and tall against the night stars, singing softly.
For two days they traveled through the hilly country, moving ever east. Aragorn continued to watch Beleg carefully, unsure if he feared madness or treachery. Once Beleg turned his bright eyes on Aragorn's face, and smiled. "Do you worry about me, young one?"
"Look to yourself. I do not need your help, and I have long traveled in this land."
So Aragorn tried to watch him more discretely, waiting for the seeming strength of Beleg's latest mood to collapse into dread or dreams. But he seemed never to weary or to waver in his pursuit of the trail. Halbarad stayed close at Aragorn's side. The rocky land of the mountains to the north began to give way to sparse woods, marked with meandering tracks. "Beasts," Beleg said.
"Or Orcs," Aragorn said.
But Beleg shook his head. "Not here." He pointed to the east at a crag of grey rock. "Daeron will be in the dell just over that ridge."
"How do you know?" asked Halbarad, his brows lifted in challenge.
"I can smell him," Beleg snapped.
Exchanging a glance with Aragorn, Halbarad said, "I will go first."
Beleg shrugged, and gave way to Halbarad's lead. They moved silently toward the crag and skirted it southward to a green, treed valley. Aragorn walked behind Beleg, watching him as carefully as the way ahead.
And there, round a fallen stump, in an open space amid the trees, Daeron knelt within a shallow pit. He seemed to be digging, a round, flat rock gripped in his hands. At the side of the ditch crouched Rodnor, his head bowed over a body shrouded in a bloody cloak.
Drawing Morchamion, Aragorn shouldered Beleg aside and strode into the clearing, Halbarad behind him with his arrow cocked and bow drawn. "Rodnor! Daeron! What's happened? Who has died?" Aragorn cried.
Rodnor lifted his head, his face pale and wretched. "Grandfather—dead. I tried—" Choking sobs swallowed his words.
Aragorn could not stop his strangled cry. "Hawk dead!" Halbarad groaned.
Daeron froze as he was, crouched in the grave, the rock half lifted in his waiting hands. Beleg's sword was pointed at his belly; as swift as a stag in flight Beleg had leaped past Aragorn and Halbarad. "Stand up, you traitor," he spat, his eyes gleaming fiercely.
"Stop, Beleg." commanded Aragorn. "I will give the orders here."
But Beleg did not lower his sword. Aragorn lifted Morchamion, and for a heartbeat all were still, waiting.
Daeron raised himself to his feet. He stared at Beleg unblinking, his face impassive, his blind eye twitching. He dropped the rock at his feet. "I am no traitor."
"What has happened here? Rodnor, speak!" Aragorn looked at the boy's anguished face, sure that here, at least, was someone whose word he could trust.
"Daeron tried to help us." Rodnor's voice sounded stunned and weak. "He tried to save my grandfather. Daeron killed the wolf, but he couldn't save my grandfather." Harsh sobs wracked his thin chest.
"Wolf?" snapped Beleg. "What wolf? I see none."
Daeron said, "I dragged the carcass away. It was no wild beast, killing for hunger. It was a hound of the Enemy."
"You have great knowledge of these matters, no doubt," mocked Beleg. "But I see at least you've fooled this boy with these tall tales." Beleg moved closer to Daeron, his swordpoint raised to the man's throat.
"Beleg, I order you to stop!" said Aragorn again, furious that the man would not obey him. "Halbarad will guard him. You and I will speak about this."
"Stay back, Aragorn," Beleg commanded, not moving an inch. "This traitor wants the blood of the Heir of Isildur."
Daeron lifted up his hands in surrender. He looked directly at Aragorn. "It's not true. I have come to hunt the Enemy."
"You deserted your post," said Aragorn. "The chieftain judged that cause for your execution."
"Túrin wouldn't listen," Daeron said quietly. "I saw them, the wolves. He wouldn't follow."
"You tell clever lies," Beleg said, his keen eyes glowing. "You deserve death."
"No," Aragorn said. "I won't judge so quickly. But we must bind him."
Beleg thrust his sword into the earth, and pulled a coarse rope from his pouch. "Cover him while I bind him," he said to Halbarad. Halbarad turned his questioning glance to Aragorn, who nodded curtly.
"I will not resist, but I ask to have my say." Daeron held out his hands to Beleg's rope.
"You deserve nothing," Beleg snarled as he pulled the knots tight.
"Those decisions are mine to make," Aragorn roared. "Rodnor will tell us what happened here."
Rodnor stood up slowly. "He helped us, I swear it. I would be dead too, if not for him."
Beleg seized hold of Daeron's bound arms, pulling them cruelly. "And what do you say, traitor? How have you beguiled this child?" And as Aragorn flung away his pack and his sword and leaped forward to grab Beleg, Daeron's eyes flared with challenge as he yanked his arms from his captor's grasp. But Beleg moved too fast: he swung his two fists into the man's face, and Daeron toppled.
Aragorn and Halbarad both jumped to seize Beleg, who struck out with his booted foot and kicked Halbarad to the ground. Aragorn roared with rage as he reached to grab Beleg with a wrestler's move. But Beleg slithered from his grasp and dropped to Daeron's side, putting his mouth to the unconscious man's ear as Aragorn grabbed him. Beleg's lips moved, and Daeron shuddered, like a sick man in convulsions.
Trembling with rage, Aragorn heaved Beleg to his feet. But the man only smiled, his eyes darkly gleaming. Fear seized Aragorn's very being at the triumph in his keen glance.
"What have you done?" he hissed.
"Why, merely spoken words of healing. I, too, know some Elvish tricks."
Aragorn growled, "Halbarad, watch him." Halbarad wrenched Beleg away from the ditch where Daeron lay. Aragorn crouched at Daeron's side. The man's hands were tightly bound across his belly, and a dark bruise was blossoming around his eyes—both the empty socket and the whole eye. At Aragorn's touch Daeron cried out and struggled in his bonds, but he did not regain consciousness.
Keeping one hand on Daeron's arm, Aragorn turned his head to stare at Beleg, whose right arm Halbarad held twisted behind his back. Rodnor stood nearby, trembling. "What did you do to him?"
"You saw. I hit him. He will be much more docile when he comes round."
"No," Aragorn snapped. "You did something to him, more than an unmanly punch of a bound man. What words did you speak?"
"Power far beyond yours, son of Arathorn."
With the speed of a striking snake Beleg whipped away from Halbarad, who fell backward with a grunt, and seized Rodnor where he stood in a daze.
The silver dagger gleaming in Beleg's hand pointed into Rodnor's side. The boy cried out as the man seized him by the throat.
Rising to his feet, Aragorn stared into Beleg's face and saw the gleaming light in his eyes flare up. He had seen that light before, but never in the eyes of a Man.
"Who are you?" He took one step closer.
"Stop where you are," Beleg commanded, and moved the dagger to Rodnor's throat. A thin trickle of blood edged down the boy's neck. His face was white and pinched, his eyes shadowed with blue circles of shock and fatigue.
Aragorn stopped, staring at the stranger before him, and intently and gratefully aware that Halbarad crouched close by, his arrow once more cocked in his drawn bow.
"You are not Beleg. Who are you?" Aragorn said again.
Halbarad stirred with unease. Beleg's eyes snapped to him. "Keep still," he snarled, "or the boy dies. Throw down your weapon."
Morchamion lay on the ground where Aragorn had flung it in the struggle. Conscious of the weight of Saelind's dagger inside his tunic, he lifted his hands to show that they were empty. But Halbarad trained his arrow at Beleg's breast.
Sneering, Beleg blocked his shot with Rodnor's body, and again dug the dagger into the boy's neck. "I don't want to kill him, but I will if you force me."
"Halbarad," Aragorn spit between clenched teeth. With a curse Halbarad thrust his weapons to the ground and raised his hands.
"You," Beleg nodded his chin at Halbarad, "lie on your belly over there, and lock your hands behind your head. If you move from there, the boy dies. Don't think you can outwit me: I am far stronger and quicker than you know even yet."
Halbarad shifted his eyes to Aragorn, who with a quick, sharp nod of his head, told him to obey. Halbarad rolled to the ground and, slowly, slowly, stretched out.
"Face down." Beleg ordered, probing Rodnor's neck with the dagger as the blood continued to drip. He kicked Halbarad where he lay, and locked eyes again with Aragorn. The flaring light seared Aragorn's mind. "Hold your hands out, so that the boy may bind them."
The blood dripping down his neck, Rodnor tied bonds over Aragorn's wrists with shaking hands.
The silver dagger in Beleg's forceful grip was beautiful, polished and graceful. Elven make, Aragorn realized with horror. An Elvish wight has taken Beleg.
"Who are you?" he demanded.
"On the ground," the stranger ordered as he kicked Aragorn's legs. Aragorn fell clumsily to his knees.
The stranger bound Rodnor's hands, and kicked Halbarad yet again before he bound his hands behind his back. Halbarad groaned, and then lay as if dead.
Fingering the gleaming edge of the dagger in his powerful hands, he who had been Beleg stood over Aragorn where he knelt, panting, in the dust. Raising his head, Aragorn stared into the stranger's eyes and snarled, "Cotumo."
The stranger laughed. "For many years I have hunted your kind and sought to wrest this land from your hands. Yes, I am your enemy, son of Arathorn. Who am I, you ask? I have had many names and many forms. Call me Drauchir, a name I once bore many years ago in this very land."
"Lord of wolves," Aragorn said slowly. "That was the name of the sorcerer of Rhudaur."
"Once I was called that," Drauchir answered. "In the war where almost we shattered what was left of your sorry race. Now I am here to finish the job."
Aragorn began to shake as the truth sank into his heart. "You are the spirit of an Elf, given to the service of Sauron," he whispered.
"Mairon," the stranger spat. "Do not speak of what you cannot understand. I was born into a body of the master race of Elves, the Noldor. The life of my fëa spans three ages of this world, although it has lived in many bodies—even within the fierce body of a wolf. But when an Elf cannot be found, I prefer the body of a Dúnadan. This one suits me well enough, but yours would be even better."
The light in his eyes flared yet again, and a slow smile spread over his face. "Ah yes," he said softly. "Such sweet revenge. Not only to destroy the line of Isildur, my master's dearest wish, but to use the body of Elrond's foster son to wipe that half-breed and his kind from Middle-earth. For who would prevent Estel the beloved from entering the Last Homely House?"
A fear so deep and cold seized Aragorn that his head spun. But he stared without blinking into the stranger's face. "That will be harder than you think. Elrond will defeat you. He will return Beleg to his body."
"No, little Dúnadan," Drauchir laughed. "The spirit you call Beleg is beyond the circles of the world, in that void where the impotent ghosts of mortal Men go after their short, miserable strut in this world. I forced him from his body as it lay fevered and weak from the wolf's bite. Beleg died while you lay in your weak mortal's sleep."
With a sick lurch in the pit of his belly Aragorn tried to remember everything that Elrond had ever taught him about these fearful beings, houseless Elves who force a spirit from its rightful body and use it as a puppeteer uses a marionette.
Drauchir's smile broadened. "I see you realize I speak the truth. For many of your years I hid in the corners of Beleg's mind, whispering commands to his weak will. At last it is time to finish what was started long ago in Mirkwood. Yes, that's right. My power entered him when he took the blade meant for your father. Such a noble deed! It allowed me to achieve even greater ends: the deaths of two of the spawn of the wretched Isildur. And yet one more so close."
Aragorn clenched his fists in their tight bonds. "You killed my father and my grandfather."
"It was not my arm that dealt the blow, but my power called to the Trolls and the Orcs who saw it done," Drauchir said, and again his face broadened in a delighted smile. "Now my master and I will destroy what remains of your broken people. As for this—" He heaved the scabbard bearing Narsil from Aragorn's pack. "This useless scrap will be melted in the fires of Mount Doom."
He seized the hilt, drew the broken sword and held it aloft. His face twisted in disgust. Then, swift as a snake, he flashed the broken blade toward Aragorn's chest, slit his tunic with the lethally sharp edge, and raised up the silver chain bearing the Ring of Barahir. Hatred burned in his eyes. "This, too, we will destroy."
Aragorn did not move as the blade hovered near his throat. "I see by your lachenn eyes that you were born in Valinor under the light of the Two Trees. How can you serve the Enemy?"
Drauchir tickled Aragorn's neck with the broken end of Narsil. "Is not Melkor a Vala, the most powerful of all? And my master Annatar is the greatest of the Maiar. The Valar! They abandoned you and your kind long ago and called down the wrath of the One to destroy you. If it comforts you, then consider that I but carry out their will."
He drew back and dropped the broken blade into the dust. "Greatest among the crimes of the Valar is the Half-Elven mongrels. Children of Lúthien," he sneered. "Kings of Númenor—what a farce! Look at you, covered with dirt and sweat like a peasant!"
Aragorn spat at Drauchir's feet. "No death would be too cruel for such as you."
Drauchir laughed. "Ah, but you cannot kill me, little Dúnadan. You can kill this body, but my fëa will only find a new one. Your mind is too weak to imagine the extent of my power."
He plucked the blade that had once been Beleg's from its stand in the earth and strode to Daeron's prostrate body. Aragorn closed his eyes, sure that he meant to kill the unconscious man. But the mad Elf's voice rang out with a command in the High Elven tongue: "Awake, and serve your master!"
Aragorn opened his eyes and gazed without hope at the sorcerer standing over his puppet victim. Daeron stirred; his one good eye was dark, his face grim. "I am ready to serve," he uttered hoarsely. "Command me."
Drauchir sliced the bonds from Daeron's hands. "We will mark these men." His voice was stern and not be disobeyed. Daeron sat up and brushed the cut ropes from his hands.
"He is first," said Drauchir, pointing to Halbarad, stretched and tied on the ground. "He, too, will make a good servant. Bring him to me." He fingered the edge of the silver dagger.
Aragorn wanted to roar with rage and frustration, but he kept himself still, watching for any opportunity to fight. He would die before he would allow himself or his companions to become the creatures of this Lord of Wolves. If only he could reach his one last weapon: the black and red dagger that nestled against his body. He remembered Saelind's sweet, old face as she said, "My heart tells me that one day it will save your life."
He watched as Daeron walked as if in his sleep toward Halbarad's long, lean form. Halbarad began to shout and writhe.
"Keep still, or I will kill the boy," hissed Drauchir, his silver-handled dagger again pressed to Rodnor's side.
Like a sleepwalker Daeron bent over and pulled Halbarad to his knees, and then to his feet—and the two Rangers leaped upon Drauchir, Daeron striking like a bird of prey. Halbarad flew to Aragorn and with two swift strokes, cut him from his bonds.
Aragorn pulled Saelind's dagger from inside his tunic and whirled to kill.
But Drauchir was faster: Rodnor screamed as the blade sliced into his side.
As he threw his weight against the enemy, Aragorn aimed the dagger at his bare throat. Drauchir fell over, Aragorn on top of him, but Drauchir still bore his own weapon and slashed at Aragorn's face. He knew, rather than felt, the cut and the blood in his beard. Standing above them, Halbarad kicked Drauchir repeatedly in the trunk and head, and Daeron stomped on his arm until with a sickening crunch the bone broke.
Drauchir struggled fiercely against Aragorn with an inhuman strength. Almost he threw Aragorn off, but as Halbarad and Daeron kicked the man's head and body, Aragorn twisted in a wrestler's move and drove the dagger into the pit of his broken arm.
"Bind his legs!" he shouted, holding the man down with all of his weight and skill. Halbarad trussed up Drauchir's legs like a fly in a spider's web, kicked him onto his side and bound his hands behind his back.
"So, little Dúnadan, you win this bout," Drauchir said. His eyes cut to Daeron, who flinched. "How did you escape my power, you weakling?"
"I am no traitor," Daeron said.
"You turned from riches and reward beyond your dreams, even the woman you desire. I would have given her to you."
Aragorn growled and would have slashed the man's throat then and there, but Halbarad pulled him back. Daeron only stared.
"You will die soon enough, lord of wolves," Aragorn said. "But first you will talk. What is this silver knife? What have you done to the boy?"
"I marked him with a power beyond your ability to heal. He will die, or he will turn to my will."
Aragorn spat at him. He turned to Daeron and Halbarad. "Keep him at weapon's point. I must see to Rodnor."
He knelt beside Rodnor. His breathing was shallow but steady, his face white and sickly, blood soaking his jerkin. His eyes flickered with agony as Aragorn stripped his jerkin and shirt and softly wiped the blood away from the wound. To his relief, it was not deep, just long and bloody: with good tending it should heal, leaving only a scar. Gently he washed the cut with water from his waterskin, and bound a poultice to Rodnor's side to keep the wound clean and dry and lessen pain. He stroked Rodnor's head and murmured words of comfort.
"How is he?" Halbarad asked.
"He's in no danger of death from the cut itself," Aragorn said. "But this is no ordinary wound. Remember my own injury, and the unexplained fever and dreams that followed? That had to have been a mark of Drauchir's power."
He rose and looked down at the creature where he lay. He knew of only one way to lessen the deadly power, and steeled himself to do the deed he knew he must. He picked up Morchamion in its scabbard from the ground where he had flung it and drew the long blade. He fixed his eyes on the Elf's glittering stare as he said with a calm that he did not feel, "You will die now."
"You can kill this body, but your triumph will be short," snarled the mad Elf. "I have already called my wolves, and they will come, and one will give up his body to me, and we will find you and kill you all. And your spirit will leave the world stained with the blood of your father's friend, son of Arathorn son of Arador."
"Maybe so," Aragorn said. "But without this body you will be helpless until your minions come, and you will kill, at least for a while, no more of my people."
He motioned to Halbarad to haul Drauchir to his knees. He wished fervently that he could use Narsil to end the man's life, but the short, broken blade would not allow a clean sweep through the neck. Slowly he raised Morchamion gripped in his two fists. Forgive me, my fathers both, the one who gave me life and the one who raised me, for what I will do with this sword given in honor and love. He stood before the man crouched on the ground. Without fear Drauchir stared into Aragorn's eyes, a mocking smile covering his face.
"As the chieftain of the Dúnedain and the Heir of Isildur," Aragorn said, "for the crimes you have committed against my people this long age and the murders of my father and grandfather, I pronounce sentence of death upon you."
Drauchir laughed. And he laughed still as Morchamion sliced into his neck, cleaving his head from his body. Blood spattered Aragorn's front as the shuddering, headless body slumped over and the head rolled into the dirt.
Aragorn carefully wiped the blood from Morchamion and sheathed it. Then he raised his eyes to his companions, who stood silent, shocked and grieving. "Make ready to leave here at once."
"Abandon their bodies as carrion? Leave Hawk to the crows?" Halbarad's face was dark with pain.
"We have no choice," said Aragorn harshly. "The wolves are summoned. I urge you to believe this threat is real. Rodnor is wounded and weak and could be taken over by his mad fëa."
Halbarad shifted on his feet, looking around as if an armed enemy lurked behind him. "He is still here then."
"Oh yes," Aragorn nodded. "He is still here. But powerless for now with no body to carry his evil will. Rodnor is at great risk."
"You're wounded yourself, Aragorn. He struck you, too."
Aragorn laid a hand to the matted blood in his beard and felt the stinging cut on his jaw. "Yes, but it is slight. It won't slow me down. Daeron—"
"I am no traitor," Daeron said. Tears coursed through the dirt on his face. "I am a true Dúnadan."
"I know," Aragorn said. "You saved our lives. We will talk more later. But now, my friends, we must go."
"I know a place," Daeron said, "a safe hideout. We can make for there, and decide later where to move on. It's across the river, toward the mountains, and the water will help throw off our trail."
Aragorn nodded. "Halbarad, can you carry Rodnor? He will be in pain, but we must move him anyway."
"Yes, if Daeron can carry my pack."
Daeron was already gathering their gear.
Aragorn stooped and grasped the broken hilt of Narsil where Drauchir had thrown it in a patch of mud. Carefully he wiped it clean and returned it to the old scabbard. Then he wrapped his hand in a cloth and picked up the squat, leaf-bladed silver dagger that Drauchir had borne. Its graceful, simple lines belied its dark arts. "I will bring this to Elrond. He will know what must be done."

Q: With more and more gluten-free foods popping up on grocery store shelves, should I be eating gluten-free? Is a gluten-free diet healthier?
A: I agree that more and more options are gluten-free, which is a wonderful advancement for those with Celiac disease. Let me first tell you what exactly gluten is. Gluten is a protein that is found in wheat, barley, rye and triticale. Oats may appear on some "gluten" lists because of possible contamination from gluten-containing grains during processing. These grains have been part of the human diet for thousands of years and are good sources of fiber, vitamins, and whole wheat products.
When one has Celiac disease, their body's immune system reacts to gluten. The intestinal tract becomes inflamed, damaged and decreases absorption of nutrients such as proteins, fat, vitamins, and minerals. There are many symptoms that can occur, but common ones include: abdominal cramps, bloating, diarrhea or constipation (or both) and unexplained weight loss. Celiac disease requires testing in order to confirm that one is diagnosed with this. And yes, a gluten-free diet is necessary and lifelong treatment to avoid further damage to the body. Therefore, for someone who does not have Celiac disease, gluten is an important part of the diet and elimination of this does not exactly make one's diet any healthier.
Elimination of gluten from the diet may direct focus on eating more fruits, vegetables, protein, and gluten-free high-fiber grains, which is beneficial for the body, but gluten itself is not harmful unless one has Celiac disease or a wheat allergy. For more information about Celiac disease, visit www.celiac.org.

Solid Plisse Bedspread 10 10
Love these Bedspreads About six years ago, I purchased two of these bedspreads. I love them and the fact that they are thin. I have pets that like to lay on our bed, it is so nice to just put these on and wash and dry them when needed. Saves on other bedding underneath. Have held up well to repeated washing and drying. Looks tidy and neat. Use them as the spreads in the summer time exclusively. February 12, 2015
bedspread is so light and airy We bought this bedspread because our last one was very old and getting to a point where I couldn't get it cleaned because it would fall apart. This new one is awesome--it gives the entire bedroom a different look, one of being larger because it is so light and airy. Love it! June 24, 2014
Very Disappointed I ordered the green spread. Love the color. Very disappointed in the bedspread itself. It is so thin; I think 200 thread count sheets are heavier. I'm not sure how this product can be marketed as a bedspread. May 31, 2014
Perfect Summer Spread This plisse bedspread was just what I was looking for- something lightweight for hot summer nights. I ordered white and it looks so cool and airy on our bed. Easy to wash and dry, then right back on the bed. Love it! The square corners drape gracefully at the foot. I also like the seam lines down the sides because they are perfect for adjusting the spread on the mattress so that it hangs evenly on both sides. July 3, 2013
Just right for Florida I am very pleased with the Plisse Bed Spread I purchased. It is the perfect light weight for the Florida summers. Easy care, it washes and dries in a flash. The size is more than adequate for my king size bed. June 22, 2013
Light weight but nice I was looking for a light weight product for summer sleeping. This fits the bill. Yes, it is quite thin, not much thicker than a top sheet. It is large like a bedspread. It seems a bit pricy. June 15, 2013
Not accurate sizing I like the material and the color ( ecru ). But, it is too wide for the bed. The size chart said 80" wide for twin. My bed plus the drop to the floor is 84", but the spread drags the floor. I'm keeping it and hemming it down both sides to shorten it. It would be really good for someone with a very tall bed. May 30, 2013
Light, Easy to care for Dimensions are very ample. Advertised as "light weight" but was somewhat lighter than I expected. It has the weight of a light weight bed sheet. It is easy to care for - out of dryer onto bed. Color was not what I expected. I bought the ecru color. The ecru has a greenish tint. May 12, 2013

Most Helpful Reviews
First and foremost, I purchased this Kenmore Deluxe Range Hood Model # 5234 to replace my old range hood that finally died after 25 years of service. I was looking for color (white, since all my appliances are white, and I don't care much for the metal look at all), size (gotta make sure it fits within my cabinetry after all), power, noise and price.
Color: Looks great, elegant and simple design. Has an on/off switch for fan, a two setting slider switch for the lights (first setting turns on one bulb, second setting turns on both bulbs), and a slider switch for fan strength (for lighter jobs/cooking I have it set 50%, but for most cooking (2 or more pans, e.g. spaghetti sauce in one pan, spaghetti noodles in the other) I have it set at 100%.
Size: It fits lengthwise so I'm happy. The problem I didn't catch is that it is roughly 3"-5" shallower than my old range hood. Thus, the edge of the range hood stops about 8-10" short from the front two burners, adding a little more distance for the fan to suck steam/smoke from the front burners.
Power/Suction: Insufficient. It takes 2-3 times as long as my old one to empty the kitchen of smoke/steam. That's unacceptable. The whole purpose is to suck out all the steam and smoke quickly. It does not do a very efficient job sucking out steam/smoke (contrary to Sears Sales Rep Claims). I think the lack of suction is due to it using a cylindrical/barrel style of fan, instead of an actual fan located at the end of my cylindrical exhaust (as my old one did).
Noise: I could be wrong, but I think this may be noiser than my old one that died! It's quite noiser than I expected (contrary to Sears Sales Rep Claims). The rep said it ran quiet, but I have to disagree. Sometimes I wonder if these Reps know anything about the products they sell; do they even get trained or ever get a chance to see how these products work in a real life example?
Price: Not worth the $210 I spent on it. Should've been priced closer to $50 due to quality and noise-level. I'm surprised it's even still selling for $168. I still find it overpriced, now that I've 2 years experience using it.
Service/Installation/Misc: Cumbersome, inefficient, and required 2 visits (I bought this 2 years ago...I believe both visits were separate. First visit to realize they were missing a square to round vent adapter, despite our telling the sales rep up front we have a round vent, and a second visit to physically come back w/the needed parts they didn't have to begin with.
Note: Be prepared to purchase your two (2) bulbs separately. It does NOT come with any. You'd think for $200 they'd throw in 2-4 bulbs as a courtesy for paying so much.
Note: You may see mention on the descriptions of range hoods of "night light". All that means is you only turn one light on instead of two.
This is just an aside, but I think the Sears contractor's job was a little messy. As I've found with many contractors these days they tend to leave a mess of debris and bits and pieces of parts, like tape, screws, snipped off pieces of wire insulation, etc and tend not to pick up after themselves. Plus, he had some challenges getting my round/cylindrical vent "squeezed"/formed into the round-to-square adapter which was connected to the range hood. At that connection as well as in one or two areas of cylindrical vent to the roof he had to apply that metallic looking "tape" to seal / close off holes/openings in the vent and had to make a visit to the attic in order to do so. Kudos to him for going up into the attic to complete it, after I'd requested he do so. Though I don't know if it's generally part of the job, I think it only makes sense that if you're replacing a range hood that you ensure the path of exhaust is checked out and fixed if it can easily be done on that visit; after all, you wouldn't want exhaust hanging around inside the attic instead of outside, out the roof.

We have had it installed for about three years. Seems to perform well.

We decided to close off our updraft exterior exhaust because too much cold air was coming in during the winter no matter how tightly the seal was on the exterior vent. We cook ALOT and we were worried that a ventless hood like this would not remove the fumes and odors. But this one does the trick. It takes care of the fumes and odors no problem. It also has enough power to suck up all the caramelized onions we cook with while still being QUIET. When it is going full blast of course the air makes a woosh. But that is the air flowing, not the motor humming. The unit operates very quietly. The stainless steel is very attractive and the installation was very easy because the design is very smart in terms of under cabinet mounting. The motor is VARIABLE SPEED, meaning CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE, not just one or two or three speeds. That is really nice since you can pick exactly the speed you need as well as the sound you want to hear. Also like the dimmer on the light and the fact that you can use ordinary light bulbs. All in all this is a great range hood. More expensive than some of the others, but well worth it.

Looks nice over our new range. Simple design, has a 2 speed quiet fan that works well. Fairly easy to install.
Addison, IL
via sears.com
The price of USD 200.00+ is far too high for this quality. We had much trouble mounting it and the other rooms get some of the smell when I'm cooking. It's with one motor but with two sides to suction the air. I guess this was ment with "dual motor". And I beleived them... poor me.
Hamtramck, MI
via sears.com
This hood was set up to vent outside. Every time I broil steaks unit cannot eliminate smoke my house smoke alarm goes off. Everytime I fry (not Burn) bacon my house smoke alarm goes off. With my former 15 year old Kenmore model this never happened
Dansville, NY
via sears.com
The positive reviews influenced me to purchase this hood. It was on line and I didn't view it. It has been installed for one week and it is being replaced today. This hood is very noisy but my main complaint it that the hood gets VERY HOT. I burned myself several times. The bulbs (can use up to 75 watt) are placed forward between the aluminum hood and a plastic bottom shield. This encasement heats the hood. I tried replacing them with 40 watt bulbs - still very hot and needed to be voided at all costs.
Burke, VA

Our installation vents to the outside so a filter isn't required making it almost maintenance free. The dual lights and variable speed fan are fantastic features.

is very effective in moving air
Palatine, IL

I bought this as my old was not powerful enough, It's a great product for the price and I love the black and Steel combination it goes well with the rest of my kenmore appliances.
Cranston, Rhode Island
via sears.com
I like this hood, it works well at containing steam and cooking vapors. I also like how it looks, it is simple but looks sophisticated and matches our black appliances. The lights included work well too, they illuminate the area well and eliminate the need for excess background light.

Our strategy – Creating the Leader
Launched in March 2012, 'Creating the Leader' is the current phase of our growth plan, and follows the successful conclusion of 'Delivering Value'. It will see us emerge as a world-class retailer, helping customers have better, more sustainable homes.
Our purpose is to make it easier for customers to have better and more sustainable homes. This approach will unlock more customer demand and grow our business to the benefit of all our stakeholders, creating a more valuable business for our shareholders, a better partner for our suppliers, a more secure and brighter future for our colleagues and a more sustainable business for our local communities.
Our unique contribution as a business to our customers is that we can harness our home improvement experience, our heritage as a leader in sustainability and our international scale to bring new, more sustainable and more affordable products to market. By also providing our customers with project advice and new shopping channels to complement our stores we will make it easier for them to adapt their homes to their evolving lifestyles. Our shorthand for describing this purpose is "Better Homes, Better Lives" and the programme of self-help initiatives to achieve this purpose is called 'Creating the Leader'.
'Creating the Leader' 2014/15 progress
In March 2014, we set out our key 2014/15 priorities against our four areas (Easier, Common, Expand and One Team) that make up 'Creating the Leader'. Today we update on the progress we have made towards each of these 2014/15 priorities:
Progress update from the Group Chief Executive as at 10 September 2014
10 September 2014
"This was a difficult first half with demand in our largest and most significant market, France, remaining particularly weak with a sharp market downturn experienced in our second quarter. We did though deliver flat profits in France, a resilient performance despite the difficult backdrop.
"However, conditions in the UK were more favourable with better weather and encouraging signs in the smaller tradesman market. We were able to capitalise on the better conditions with Screwfix performing particularly well growing sales by 23%. B&Q UK & Ireland also delivered their best H1 sales growth in over a decade as the new team start to gain traction with its re-energising initiatives and started to make progress with its plan to better position the business for the future.
"Looking to the longer term, we continue to work on our 'Creating the Leader' programme including opening Screwfix and Brico Dépôt stores in two new countries and accelerating the rebranding of the recently acquired Romanian business into the Brico Dépôt format. We remain convinced that investment today to develop the highly profitable Screwfix and Brico Dépôt formats into new markets creates a huge growth opportunity for Kingfisher.
"Whilst our French business saw an improvement in August we remain cautious about the economic backdrop and focused on trading effectively with continued self-help initiatives whilst continuing with our initiatives to build a long term, sustainable future for the business. We have a strong balance sheet and cashflow to enable the necessary investment in the future as well as paying a healthy dividend to our shareholders. I am pleased that we are also recommencing our share buyback."

Your cart is empty!
This product is AWESOME but MyOTC.com is a blatant company of con artists. From the shipping department to the Internet marketing personnel to the supervisor. I ordered 6 boxes of these cough drops (120 packs) and received only 5 boxes. Because their shipping department had 6 boxes sent on their packing order they assume that is what was sent. My copy said the same thing, 6 boxes sent and yet nothing magically turned my order received into 6 boxes. They kept saying they were sending this problem to their shipping department (7 times they said this) even the supervisor Mr. Shaym said the same thing and then AFTER 45 days of disputing this with them they said they sent my order correctly and to basically HAVE A NICE DAY!!! They held me off so I wouldn't be able to open a dispute with PayPal and have a chance of being refunded. I lost $11.49 on this deal.......HOW MUCH ARE YOU WILLING TO LOSE???
I love the flavor of these and they are very soothing for the throat.
I am a nurse and we use this for cough drops in my previous hospital. It works better than every cough drop i heard or seen of.
It has no sugar, fructose or aspartame (or other artificial sweetner) that would further weaken the immune system. The lozenges really work!
I had spinal surgery and they had to go through my throat. I have problems with my throat all the time since I had the surgery. It always feels dry and scratchy and I lose my voice a lot. Love the luden's wild honey throat drops. They sooth my throat without that medicine taste that you get from cough drops. But, they are very difficult to find in the stores.
