Enzo: I am doing everything i can to correct that - used a bit gamey tactics when italians declare war on albania and germany on poland etc - garanteed independence so i at least have full intervention - but apart from that - work - work - work - work - work - ill be damned if i let the germans have my baby without a tough fight!!!!!
game crashed 18 sept 1939 - possibly because of the workload - so im back to 2. sept - where i got the 39 infantry tech reseach after using the number 1 techteam for that reseach on gettin early hospital. U want a post on how much industry - divisions etc i have!? - could post it in this one as a edit..
the problem with CCCP is they are very weak on doctrine reseach so im ages behind in that and can only keep up barely with SOME of all the other techs - so brute mass and clever tactics plus a hard winter or two are gonna bring this one home - if possible....but if you wanna hear my judgement on the thing - remove the early event with the 15 percent dissent and things are a lot easier for the russian player/AI - and if it is true that the AI mostly makes reserves - have that split between reserves and regular inf - that would reflect the manpower familiar with the japanese campaigns in the 30's spread out on those divisions - (Sibirian troops) the CCCP only starts with 7 infantry divisions - all with a 70 percent strength limit - why!?!? i will use them in the first line together with the reserves to buy time when the germans come - and 93 Reserve divisions - enough to protect borders (31 corps, 9 corps currently protectin the eastern border with Manchuria and Japan)
And thanx for the brigades list Enzo! - nice
yeah - that HQ-arty is a strange thing - compared to real world its logical to have the heaviest guns at HQ level - in the game, well i cant see the justification to ever builld it - and certainly not in the CCCP - maybe in a low manpower high IC country? - but if you have manpower like the CCCP - the cost efficiency is just horrible the way i see it

- 11 Aug 2014 Anonymous USA
- " For lack of bathrooms (there was only one for all the rooms), we had to wait long for our turn. Probably that's the only big "-". The owner was nice and pleasant, but charged 3SG$ for each bag we wanted to store at the hostel for several hours after check-out though. Location is good, right in Chinatown area, close to chinese market and food stalls, just 3-5 min walk to subway. "

I'm 59 yrs old and I have worked on the Montclair Fire Dept for 30 yrs. I was raised in Montclair, NJ and have over 800 relatives in North Jersey. My father's mother, Rose Sandora (Santoro) was born in Newark, NJ. Her family emigrated from San Fele, province of Potenza in Basilicata. She had a twin sister, Mary. The sisters married two DiGeronimo brothers and had 15 and 13 children. Most of the DiGeronimos' in this area were generated by these two couples.
Since 1996, I've traveled to the DiGeronimo home town of Lacedonia, province of Avellino in Campania. I have some knowledge of those who immigrated. I also have relatives there that may be able to help research some ancestors.
Both sides of my mother's family were also from Lacedonia. She was a Pelullo and her mother's family was Festa, related to the Giannetti's in some way.
I have been involved for the past 5 years in a history project about the Italians of Montclair.
I can be contacted at email@example.com or 973-857-1489.

dozens of bugs to fix in H-L2 itself
And Steam DRM is a real joke (as said earlier in the thread). It's for my idiot friends who are too dim to learn the location of games on their FS and copy over cracked files and too lazy to take 5 minutes searching Google for said crack/patch. But given a button that says 'Download free game, fuck the devs who put their time into it' they would in a heartbeat. It's difficult for geeks like us to comprehend such people . If I didn't know these people personally, I wouldn't have thought they existed. But they are out there and in very large numbers Shitty for society but great for capitalism :< And now good for Linux!
i always like to play these games and now they are coming with new see nice .
Now if you meant it makes a performance hit compared to basic fullscreen, probably (if only a tiny performance hit), but when fullscreen mode is unusable thats not really a point.
...but same won't happen if the native res is 1280x1024....
However, the real problem is that in many games running in 640x480 res you loose too much detail or the game doesn't even allows it as minimum res so you have to use 800x600 or 1024x768 as minimum and then scaling it to 1280x960 and in special to 1280x1024 will have a more noticeable performance hit and also a quality hit.
I do. I bought HalfLife since I never played it as it was never available for Linux.
I've also some other 'old' games (got those before I went to Linux) (Conflict: FreeSpace, Starlancer, Star Trek Armada/Armada II) that are old but just awesome.
Wrong, i play 10 year old games...Wolfenstein : Enemy Territory for starters....i'm even making a mod for it but won't be available for the public in general for several reasons...only for me and some friends...
....and yes, i play also *25* old games from the Spectrum era
I still have one of those things...and a Amiga 500
The grass and the leafs on trees flicker when I move.
So I went to the steam forums, and asked for help.
A developer tried to help me, but to keep this short, its a problem with the catalyst driver.
Now I have posted, on the Amd forums.
I am very happy with Valve. Were would I complain about this without Valve?
AMD promised Valve they would listen.
(first pinned topic)
And about that drm. You can install your games on more then one pc. You just can't play both versions at the same time. And that's without any hacks.
Some of the game studios however add more drm shit, but that's not because of Valve.
Teamfortress 2, I can see the progress happening. It did run well the first time I tried, but now, wow!
Great, another multiplayer FPS for Linux. Two, in fact! If there's one type of game Linux doesn't have enough of, it's multiplayer FPSes.
Yes indeed, the Linux community really needs to stop making singleplayer FPSes, racing games, fighting games and sports sims; and instead focus our attention on the oft-neglected genre of "run around shooting other people in arenas". I mean, nobody EVER gets tired of that.
Sarcasm aside, I had my hopes up when you said "WW2 shooter", and then they were totally dashed when I saw in the description "Multiplayer". Valve, I appreciate the value you've given to Linux gaming, but can you please give us some gaming experiences we can't replicate a hundred times over in open-source? Give us a serious car racing game! Or a flight combat sim. Or a team sport sim. Just write something that we haven't already got on Linux, polish it up to commercial-quality and release it. That would be nice. You'd probably make a decent amount of money, too, as it's not like cheapskates can just play an open-source equivalent like they can with Open Arena, AssaultCube, Tremulous, etc.

The Giraffe wall sconce is constructed of white glazed ceramic. The design is topped with a white linen rolled edge shade. Illuminate hallways, bedrooms, baths and more with this fabulous look.

Yummy Egg Nog. With rum or without - I love it. Well I have an idea this month that did not take too much head scratching to come up with for a change.

Heh. I have my story written and I'm just waiting to do one more edit and I can submit it. Unfortunately, my husband is doing his whole "work at home day" thing and is hogging the good computer. This one doesn't even have Word on it...and the keyboard buttons stick...and...and...and...it just sucks.
Anyway, I spent a few hours yesterday and the story just flowed out. It's neither holly nor jolly, but it'll do. Well, we'll see.
Eggnog? I want some...

December 2nd, 2009, 10:02 AM #27
I've got my story all ready to go, mentally, but the words to share the idea are not coming so easily to me as they apparently were to venustar. Maybe I need some of that eggnog to loosen up the crusty ol brainpan. Hopefully I'll have my story ready soon.

Rolling Stones To Play Coachella Festival?
Tuesday, December 18, 2012
It looks as if the Rolling Stones will be performing at the 2013 edition of the Coachella Festival, according to Rolling Stone. An update appeared Friday morning (December 14th) on the tour section of the band's mobile app, listing an April 12th date in Indio, California and labeling it Coachella 2013. The annual alternative music festival has been staged at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio every year since its inception.
The date was taken down not long after it was posted, but not before a number of fans had taken screen captures of it. It was reportedly back up a few hours later.
Coachella 2013 will take place in Indio over the weekends of April 12th through the 14th and April 19th through the 21st.
Meanwhile, the Stones' four-date mini-tour wrapped on Saturday night (December 15th) with the second of two shows at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga and the Black Keys were among the scheduled guest performers.
Former guitarist Mick Taylor joined them at the first gig in Newark on Thursday night (December 13th). He also played with them in London as well.
More Stones dates are expected to surface soon, with a full tour possibly on tap for 2013.

White Mountain Hikes

Mount Lafayette 5260'
Old Bridle Path/Greenleaf (Up and down)

Kevin, Judy and Emma
It had long been in my mind that Judy and Emma would finish their W48 on Lafayette together if and when it was to occur. Well, like so many plans, circumstances have changed, and so have the plans we set long before circumstances forced them to change. At any rate, again, beyond hope, we have been blessed with another winter summit together with the toughest little girl we know, Emma. This puts her winter total at 41, not too bad for a 13.5 yo Pomeranian who we rescued as a pup from the streets of Lawrence, Mass. Her earliest days had been spent scrounging for garbage and dodging cars, a 10 week old stray.
As I have said before it was never a certain thing, nor even a goal that any of us would ever hike the 48 in winter. I was blessed to finish my list last year as we have been chipping away at them over the years. After an injury and surgery to her right rear knee on an ill-fated hike last March, I think it safe to say that Emma has made a full recovery and is still doing very well for a dog of her stature and age. Exhausted after the hikes, she still does the same thing she has always done and that is to sleep in the back seat for the 2+ hours ride home, only to hit the ground barking upon our arrival, announcing to the world that she has conquered yet another mountain.
Lafayette was my first winter 4k 12 years ago. Judy and Emma were not interested in joining me at the time, nor was I interested in bringing them out to face winter in the mountains with little to no experience myself. I teamed with a friend from work who had lots of experience on mountains all over the world, but who over extended himself on Lafayette that day. He went down with a back injury and although he made it off the mountain himself was laid up for weeks afterwards. My winter hiking took hiatus almost as soon as it had begun. Not thinking it wise to hike in winter alone and not knowing anyone else "crazy" enough to join me, winter hiking in the 4ks went on the shelf for a couple of years.
In the meantime Judy, Emma and I struggled with learning the ins and outs of winter hiking on our own by taking on smaller mountains, trying different types of traction and clothing, and learning to regulate body heat by adding and removing layers. Eventually I convinced them that we were ready and would be alright on a winter 4k. In '03 we ascended Mount Pierce and faced fierce winds and blowing snow which filled our tracks. The deep snow obliterated all signage, and this caused us to descend too far from the summit in search of the Crawford Path. A quick realization of the mistake, and knowledge of the path gained on previous fair-weather hikes soon corrected our course and we survived our mistake. Over the next few years we began pecking away at the 4ks as the winters came and went. On all our forays into the mountains in winter, beside us was our little dog, Emma.
As I've said repeatedly in other essays, Emma's safety and comfort were foremost in our minds on all our hikes, winter or otherwise, and will continue to be our objective rather than gaining another summit for as long as we can hike together. There is no patch for dogs who have completed the W48, and for good reason. It is one thing for me to go out and risk my safety in the mountains in winter, but quite another to bring along a creature who will devotedly follow me to the ends of the earth at her own peril. As Emma has gotten older, and of course after last winter's setback, the idea of getting her to all the summits in winter has sunk to the bottom of things we wish to still do with her while we still can. I would gladly spend the rest of her days sitting in the shade beside her as she slept an old dog's sleep in the quiet by the pond, but it seems she still has some adventure left in her, and for as long as she is willing, we will try to satisfy that need.
All that said, Emma had a very good hike not unlike her much younger self. The snow was firm for her to walk on, so she had no snow-balling issues, no ice in the fur between her toes, just perfect for little dogs who are concerned about such things. Judy and I wore snowshoes from the parking lot to the summit, though there was little snow above timberline where micro-spikes would have been the better choice. Most of the summit was scoured of snow exposing the bare rocks which were filled in between with patches of ice. Damp, freezing fog on the summit with visibility of about 100' made for a short visit. The fog froze on my beard, Emma's fur and Judy's hair. We met some hikers who had crossed the ridge from Lincoln and we swapped cameras for some summit shots, then headed back down to the hut where there was less wind and more visibility.
On the descent we came out of the clouds and got some sunlit views to the south, while the cloud cap continued to obscure the summits. The cloud cover had helped keep the snow from softening and we had a good solid track to descend by, others without snowshoes did not fair as well as post-holing was a problem and will continue to get worse as the temperatures warm. Emma did well on the descent and she continues to amaze, and yes, she hit the ground barking when she got home... Today she is sleepy, which is not unusual, but otherwise showing no ill effects. Tough little cookie...

Meanwhile, Windows 7 SP1 does not support USB 3.0 out of the box.
Phoronix: USB 2.0 vs. USB 3.0 Flash Drives On Linux
With the current Linux USB stack and file-systems, do USB 3.0 flash drives provide much of a performance gain over USB 2.0 flash drives? In this article are some brief benchmarks from USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 Corsair Flash Voyagers.
Meanwhile, Windows 7 SP1 does not support USB 3.0 out of the box.
Michael, how about trying the USB 3.0 stick in a USB 2.0 slot on that motherboard and seeing what difference just the interface makes?
But I lost it.
Wow. This was one of the worst benchmarks in Phoronix history. The title should be Corsair X vs Corsair XX. If you really wanted to test the difference between USB 2.0 and 3.0 on linux you should have gotten a USB3.0 HDD dock, put a very fast SSD in there and first connect it to a USB 2.0 port, and then to a USB 3.0 port. That would present meaningful results instead of completely irrelevant results.
Having read an article in Germany's c't magazine (a serious one) just yesterday there were tests of USB HDDs. Here it was noticed that there were a lot of problems still with USB 3. It is a complex interaction of device, USB-chipset and sadly also cables. Cables still seem to be an issue here. (Of course cables can always be but there are still low quality cables sold as it seems, even delivered in packages with devices).
There was one example where an external HDD would only reach USB 3.0 speed on a NEC controller chip but not on any other controller.
So in reality your mileage may vary quite a bit (if your USB connection becomes the bottleneck).
I have an SSD Samsung 256GByte, Kubuntu 12.10 and a Sandisk 64 GByte Extreme and over Usb 3. I am getting extraordinary results like 183 MByte/s on large files copy. E.g. copying a virtualbox appliance.
Really miss Virtual Box having usb 3 support because my laptop has no usb 2 ports.
Thing is: some brands use whatever they can buy cheap off the market so internals in the housing might change. Especially cheaper models might change internals. Things like that can be nasty if you check Linux compatibility and it seems to work but next month they use a different chip or something and things break.
Iirc c't even mentioned some HDD people using discs from the competition.

There's only one thing to say about today's woot lineup: wowee!
Roostalee wrote:Isn't that WallE's girlfriend?
Nope, shes a white robot. But can i use this to defuse bombs?
this is a screaming deal. if you need a spy robot
what's the maximum distance you can be from the robot and still receive wifi? Will it work through brick walls?
How complicated is it to operate? Is this something that the beginner remote control robot owner will have an easy time using?
Can this be modified to become a DJ roomba?
Yea, but can it fetch my newspaper?
WowWee, Mac???
this would be great if you had kids or a dog that needed supervision or just wanted to keep someone out of the cake until you got home.!
can i control this from my work computer when its at home??
Well I was going to say.. WOW only 13 posts and its on all day!??!
.. then I realized it was actually 13 posts in 6 minutes as its 12:06.. (cst, as is woot)...
Not the first time Hackaday has mentioned Woot.com.
Since you can use this via browser wherever you are, doesn't that mean that the robot also needs wifi? So that means that you can't roll that badass out the front door to walk the dog, or to spy on your neighbors?
Then what good is that?
This device and the ability it gives you with the deals.woot software is really some incredibly neat stuff. But WTFGDSMF are you really going to do with this except impress a bunch of other geeks that think like we do?? I need some praticality to sell that to the wife? HELP!!!! I want one, but dang!
This would be perfect for keeping an eye on the house while on vacation, or even just at work.
I only need to know one thing. Can it do the happy dance?
These things are awesome! Had a chance to do a home preview on these things through the WowWee website. Wowwee offered 15 minuet windows to test out these cool web based radio-controlled web-cams on wheels, in a typical house setting.
With these, you can check on and remotely interact with house pets, all from a free internet web page. You control lights, camera angle (adjustable head), and of course the full movement of the robot.
These were introduced for $299 when they first came out. At $99 bucks, this is a great price that only Woot could offer! This is an awesome deal.
I assume hackaday will be posting their review after the rest of this hemisphere wakes up, as there's nothing on there yet about this robot. I'll keep looking...
Edit: Ah, there it is.
I really like it. But thinking what i like to do with it. ok woot you got me again in for One.
yeawuteva wrote:what's the maximum distance you can be from the robot and still receive wifi? Will it work through brick walls?
That would depend a lot on your access point, but a good rule of thumb is to figure it will work wherever you can get a WiFi signal with your laptop. Yes, it will work through brick walls, but like all walls, they will probably reduce the signal strength/range.

This is like the coolest woot I've ever seen wow lol, I don't really have 105 bucks to drop on it but this thing looks amazing.
Well gristle woot, I had no intention of dropping $100 tonight but you did it again. Uno mas, por favor...
yeawuteva wrote:no where in the description does it say how much this weighs, and I demand to know and I demand to know now!
Amazon says shipping weight is 6.5 lbs.
Can this be remotely driven onto the charging base? Or does it have to be manually placed on the base? I want to make sure it will charge between connections, so that it will work while I'm away from the summer home for many months without the battery dying.
I wonder if I dress this up in a little green dog suit if it'll help me take over the world... unless, of course, it dumps it's fuel to make room for cupcakes or endlessly makes waffles.

Will it switch from AP to AP as it travels around, or is it tied to one single wi-fi Access Point?

My speculation (even before I got halfway through with WMF) is that the King in question who is causing problems turns out to be Ambrose. Kvothe has noted a number of times that Ambrose is not too too far from the throne.

My wife just texted me to inform me that a heavy, rectangular package from Amazon just arrived at our doorstep. Was hoping to have Butcher's Summer Knight finished up first (100 pgs left), but I dont think I'm going to be able to wait... Believe I'll be diving into TWMF tonight. Summer Knight, you can wait!

Audible.com is on my poop list (for now)...
I have been looking forward to this release since I read NoTW back in the fall. I was planning on the Audible.com version since I really enjoyed that version of NoTW but ... it does not seem to be available on Audible for some reason. They have added several March 1st releases, but TWMF has not been one of them as of my last look. Annoyed for sure, but until I stop traveling this much and/or my vision suddenly improves.... I need an audible version! May have to abandon Audible and have a look at Amazon. Oh well....
BTW- I just realize that if this glitch bothers me at all then perhaps we should start a rotation of 'watches', taking turns keeping 3rdI away from sharp things and open windows in case his copy gets lost in the mail or something.

I can only assume that he is taking offense at the last part of my post a few back. Thus, I would like to add that it was said in jest, partly out of respect for his passion for Rothfuss and not intended as a 'knock', unless his excitement at the release of AWMF is in some way a knock.
3rdI - If it is indeed my comment you are bristling about I would ask you to go back and read it again with less of a defensive attitude. Maybe even a lighthearted view would be in order? No need to go into defensive mode! I have never attacked you about anything and did not here either. Just a light hearted jab at your passion toward a series that I myself am also excited about. I refuse to believe that you are that easily offended. In any case, please don't surround yourself with eggshells.

That sucks I would buy you a copy if it wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg to ship it across the pond. Plus they wouldn't even let it come across right because it is the US version?

Hi Les! Great choice. I am a Colorado girl, and only recently moved away. It is a wonderful state and you will have a great time. Boulder is a great place to stay if you want both outdoors and easy access to city stuff and the airport. There are lots of trails you can hike, Pearl street can be fun for dinner and there are usually free events like concerts and festivals on the weekends. If you have a car, the Garden of the Gods down in Colorado Springs is also a nice, free place to hike or have a picnic.
Two things to keep in mind 1) DRINK LOTS OF WATER - it can get hot and you'll be at a high altitude (even if you stay around Denver) so drink a lot more water than you think you might need. and 2) Be good to yourself - it is a high altitude, especially if you go into the mountains, and if you've never been up around 12,000 to 14,000 feet you can feel sick. So take your time, don't try to do too much hiking or climbing all at once and drink lots of water.
Dinosaur National Monument.
The view from Lookout Mountain (over Denver).
Garden of the Gods. Pikes Peak, if you are a brave driver. Eat bison/buffalo meat.
Colorado Gators Reptile Park.
Great Sand Dunes National Park -- just like being at Dune du Pilat, near Arachon, in France -- except there's no ocean!
Be aware that Colorado is about 1-1/3 as large as all of Great Britain, so the distances may be surprising -- but then, so are the elevations and the sights!

I'm starting to really get irritated. I prepared mentally for a resolution by a few weeks ago. I didn't expect it to go this long.
I knew it was going to the last minute (at best) after they canceled the Winter Classic...although I allowed myself to believe for a day that it could be different during that gong show in NY a couple weeks back. They could have done something I thought was impossible and had a relatively nice, clean ending if it had been settled there with the moderates coming in on their white horses the way they did in the NFL and Crosby having a big part in it.
But when that got torpedoed (and in the spectacularly hideous fashion it did), I think that actually did more damage than the first two months of the lockout. It felt like the last straw emotionally to many people, even if there's somehow a last-minute settlement in a couple weeks.

The Commander of Gondor
5. Furlough
It was the celebration of Yavanna in Minas Tirith. The golden autumn air was rich with the smell of apples, crushed grapes, and woodsmoke. Wagons arrived in the city laden with orange pumpkins, crooked neck squashes, and purple plums. Harvest festival was the biggest celebration of the year for all Gondorians, even larger than the festive Yule season, for not only did it mark the bounty of the harvest, it marked the end of fighting for the year and the three month furlough offered to nearly all the enlisted troopers.
On this fine, clear day in the month of Narbeleth, the sky above was crystal blue. The falcons circling above the city spied young Quillion scurrying into the City Guard commander's office. In his hand, he clutched the invitation his mother had given him as if it was a secret missive from the Steward himself. The boy hoped the commander had not yet arrived, for then he could slide the note under the piles of paperwork where it would magically vanish or at least not be discovered until the commander felt it was too late to courteously accept.
The boy's face fell as he entered the office; Thorongil already worked at his desk, his pen skating across a sheet of paper, leaving behind the commander's fine script. Captain Fallon sat with his chair propped back against the wall, reading a large volume of military history. Both officers looked up and smiled at the boy so he sucked up his courage and marched to the commander, extending the invitation.
In the six months since his appointment as squire, it was obvious Quillion worshipped his commander as a god and the captain as a lesser deity so surely, in the boy's mind, these two lords of Gondor would not want to have dinner with his mother when they could sup with the glittering courtiers at the Citadel gala. He had explained this to her but she had insisted. Quillion held his breath, fearful of Thorongil's answer. The commander looked up from the note, light dancing in his gray eyes.
"Of course we will attend!" A huge smile split Quillion's face. Thorongil grinned over Quillion's excited head to Fallon who rolled his eyes. The commander commenced a note of acceptance and gratitude back to the boy's mother, and when Quillion ran home to deliver it; they heard his squeal of delight just outside the door.
Fallon called in a lounging trooper and immediately sent off an order to the butcher for the deliver of two fat geese and a suckling pig to Lady Gwendeth.
"A lot of food for a poor widow, two servants, a scrawny boy, and us," Thorongil commented.
"I'm sure Lady Gwendeth's sister Alalsiel will be there also. She has been each year since her husband was killed."
"Indeed." Thorongil eyed his second speculatively and went back to his work. "Each year? Am I to assume you've attended these before?" Fallon suddenly found something of great interest in his book and avoided answering Thorongil.
When Quillion returned, he nodded vigorously at Fallon's inquiry that his aunt Alalsiel and her family would also be attending. He launched into a long monologue about his cousins: an older boy who was quite bookish and disliked Quillion, and his girl cousins who he held to be supremely silly.
"Fallon, do you know Quillion's extended family well?" Thorongil asked later that day when his squire was off delivering messages to the Citadel. His captain was again evasive in his answer.
"I know of them." Fallon knew he must tell his commander, who waited patiently but expectantly for an answer. "I –uh-have met all of them before at Lady Gwendeth's Yule and Yavanna dinners." Thorongil raised a brow at him. Since meeting his squire, he had suspected Fallon had a history of helping Gwendeth and Quillion. Fallon was silent for a bit, weighing what he knew of this new commander, a man he had ridden with for less than a year. In telling more, he would reveal that the persona of the cavalier and careless Captain Fallon that he had carefully cultivated was a diversion. He balanced what he knew of the man's paternal care of Quillion with the grim warrior he stood beside on the battlefield, and judged this man wore the skin of another also and the chinks in his own warrior façade might be shared by his commander.
"Alalsiel's husband was my first captain. I rode beside him in my first battle. He cared not who I was or wasn't, and was fair and firm with me. I was such a callow youngster, I lost my breakfast at his feet after my first encounter with battlefield carnage. Many times I would have been gravely injured had he not been there.
"I was in Dol Amroth when my father wrote that he had been killed riding patrol along the Lebennin Road. It was not even an orc that took his life, just a band of desperate highwaymen, willing to attack a pair of Guard officers for their horses and equipment!" Thorongil heard the pain still in Fallon's voice though the captain tried to tell the tale in his usual flippant way.
"I cannot see the family starve because the husband and father had the misfortune to give his life for the White City. Alalsiel is another genteel widow left along and impoverished by war. The treasury should provide more for such families but 'twould bankrupt Gondor," Fallon admitted. "The lady has six children. The ones Quillion described: a sullen fifteen year old who hates anything associated with the army including his younger cousin and three proper and pretty little girls. There are also three year old twins, a boy and a girl as unalike in appearance as they could be. The lady keeps a very small estate outside the gates of Harlond, the only concession from a noble father to a third son." Thorongil watched him steadily for a moment and Fallon had the dreadful feeling he had judged this man wrongly and the commander was about to make a derisive remark about his softness, both cruel and uncaring.
"Your reputation as a libertine is a sham, Fallon," Thorongil said turning back to the work on his desk, "so do not badger me any longer on my kindness to Quillion. And send around another brace of geese, with my compliments."
Just before noon a week later, the two handsome officers trailed by young Quillion pushed open the scrolled gate before the cottage, nodding to the gawking neighbor. Thorongil bore a crate of wine bottles fit for the Steward's table and Quillion carefully carried a box nearly as large as he stamped with mark of the Citadel's patisserie. The boy fairly drooled at the thought of the confections inside.
All in all, it was a magnificent feast. The weather was warm enough that the party retired to the garden while last minute preparations for the feast were completed. Lady Alalsiel was wise and gracious, laughter in her eyes and in the lines around them. She had gone on with life even after so grievous a blow as her husband's death, and was a contrast to her solemn sister. She spoke with Thorongil about last summer's action, shared a bit of court gossip, and discussed the harvest from her estate. Fallon tussled on the lawn with the younger children and Thorongil discovered the eldest boy, Fairion, had a love for natural science, especially the heavens. He drew the young man from his shy shell and encouraged him into a discussion of the stars and weather, and what both might mean for crops and ships and battles. The young man who had resigned himself to a morose day with only military officers and children, soon was as enamored with this commander as his cousin and envied Quillion his post.
By late afternoon, dinner was set in the overflowing dining room, the table weighed down with platters and bowls. Lady Gwendeth overfed them all to the point of bursting. The two ladies were pleasant dinner company and the children as well-behaved as children can be. In due time, the pastry box was opened and all squealed at the sight. The children were soon half-sick with icing and custard, and the adults finished their meal with fine cordials.
Evening fell and Fallon and Thorongil reluctantly departed from the neat cottage. As they strolled home, both agreed they had just spent a most excellent day, one much more to their liking than any elegant banquet held at the Palace. They had indulged so much that Thorongil had to let out his sword belt a notch and Fallon walked with his jacket open: his excuse was to let in the cool autumn air though in truth he feared the silver buttons might pop. The night was pleasantly quiet after the squeals of the afternoon spent with seven children. And, they had left Quillion to tumble with his cousins.
"Fallon, that widow had her eye on you," Thorongil commented in high spirits, thinking his captain deserved a teasing.
"Quillion's mother would not wed again," Fallon replied.
"Nay, the sister. She needs a father for that brood." Thorongil chuckled to think of Fallon as lord over such a kingdom.
Fallon smiled silently for a bit, looking dreamily distant. "My lady would not like it so."
"Your lady?" Thorongil's teasing abruptly came to an end.
"Aye, do you doubt I have one?'
"Nay, I believe you have many!"
"The women are enjoyable but there is one—one I've pledged my heart to if one day she would have me. Perhaps, one day ---" Thorongil heard the seriousness in his captain's voice. He recognized the timbre as one he heard in his own voice when he spoke Arwen's name. Suddenly, the spirit of mischief filled Fallon's blue eyes. He companionably threw his arm around his commander's shoulder.
"You, my lord, would make a worthy father for the pack; young Fairion was in awe of you already. Alalsiel could be persuaded that you would suit better than I."
"For me also there is but one, pledged to, but separated from. Hopefully, one day that pledge will be fulfilled." Fallon halted, startled at this revelation, but before he could inquire further, Thorongil smiled enigmatically and left him standing, not a single question answered, at the gate to his quarters.

At the prestigious Brenners Hotel in Baden-Baden , Andreas Krolik's sublime cuisine has made the Park Restaurant, which holds two Michelin stars, a gastronomic flagship for the whole region.
Anyone expecting opulent food at the prestigious Brenners Hotel will be amazed by the intricacy and finesse of Andreas Krolik's dishes, which epitomise contemporary cuisine with a classic foundation. Krolik has been free to find his own style without great mentors. He is a talented craftsman who elaborates the flavours of his dishes with immense clarity and finesse whilst adding new, exciting accents. A passionate angler himself, Krolik has a definite penchant for fish and seafood, which he prepares as naturally as possible, sourcing his excellent ingredients from Norway, Ireland and Scotland. But meat and vegetarian delicacies do also star on the Park Restaurant's extensive menus and à la carte offering.
In his tranche of Texel lamb saddle with fennel and ras el hanout, lemon spinach, pepper chutney and baked chickpea purée , Krolik demonstrates his exceptional understanding of how flavours and proportions interact. The unequivocal focal point is the saddle of lamb, which seems very familiar at first in combination with the chickpeas and the ras el hanout, before the dish's essential harmony is recalibrated and lightened by the perfectly judged acidity of the spinach and the fennel notes. Another immensely exciting dish is his caramelised hand-dived scallop with Périgord truffle foam, pata negra, roasted leek, black salsify and parmesan crunch . The interaction between sweet and earthy flavours, the juicy succulence of the scallop and the herbal notes is simply divine.
