Yes Ozzy I know there is a lot I could do on the homepage, content etc. basically I ran out of steam I did update it monthly for the first two years but got slack.
1) Update forum (software & structure).
2) Start on newsletter.
3) Modify homepage to inc. news and blog feeds.

Where History Has Been Fixed
Playlist Navigation Bar
Adraefan: 41. Chorus VIII (Varda Comes to Boromir in a Dream)
a need swelling, perverse and complete
burrowing deep in the heart
twisting, clenching tight in the stomach,
only to vomit out
a drink, a drink, just one more
something to help the day pass
soothe the nights silent, please
(ai, me, Valar, do you listen?)
everywhere the thick terror dripping
down the walls and lingering in the corners
like a black jagged fog…
A dream passes
melts into another and convinces
slips past the teeth and crawls
down the throat and into the wounds
- that scream -
remember that wound and remember
all the panic burning through the mind –
Just one more, just one more
something to ease the tremor
bring steadiness again
bring relief, please, Eru,
liquid relief passing through the veins
ai, Eru, ai, ai, ai, ai,
Eru, please, please,
one will be enough, just one…
Clouds. Wind. Sky.
Drift up
away from Elrond's house
let us consider the Valar in all this,
seeing as They are primarily responsible:
Husband and Wife
look at each other
communicate with a thought,
pass the message along
down the line of waiting Fourteen
down to Weeping Nienna, Dreaming Irmo,
Salt-Water Ulmo, Mandos-Keep Námo etc
"Poor mortal."
"Shall I, or shall you?"
"It would be Estë the Gentle's role. She is the Healer."
Exasperated Estë: "Ah, but I have an entire Middle-earth to comfort!"
Varda: "Very well, very well. I will go."
At night, when the stars blink bright, clean and very far away
when insects buzz and Men snore and elves stare unseeing
when everyone is asleep
Varda comes, She tiptoes around the House of Elrond
padding down abandoned hallways, all dark
the marble cool against Her soles
She walks invisible-stealth into the room
the room of Her preferred Man,
She enters, dripping stars, a supernova, a galaxy,
leaning close, leaning over the crumpled sheets
and gently gently placing Her hand, starry cold,
against his over-warm cheek,
She lays two kisses
one, two
against each heavy-hooded, closed eye
breathing in the smell of his mortality
the vivid scent of something finite
bright and short-lived
She breathes in
and then rests Her lips against his
just as he sleeps
he dreams quiet now, all peaceful, so quiet
and She feels his warm, cracked lips –
such a dazzling smile when he has the chance! –
and She hesitates
(because husband-Manwë might be watching)
but whispers soft in good-bad, divine-beloved Boromir's ear,
the Valar's plaything,
She whispers in his ear, so only he can hear:
"Seek you relief in a drink
or hope in a hand held out from dusty battle-clouds?
You know it does not work, my mortal love.
You are being foolish,
and we have not pumped hearty Númenórean-red
through your veins to see you dribble
it all away and dilute it with some mead.
Listen, my to-die love, listen close:
For your fame has reached the heavens,
stunned Us
such a Brave-Tall-Warrior, beaming bright sword in hand,
cutting down the Enemy and taunting Evil
with your reckless bravery, right up to the Black Gate
it has intrigued Us
good-bad prince, with some Valar cheering you on
others straining to destroy you…
all this failed Ring-temptation and repenting,
suffice it to say you have piqued Our interest."
She smiles, and some of Boromir's suffering is relieved.
Again, She speaks:
"Ah, my sweet mortal Man,
all rugged and ragged and ruined and scarred
long have I favored you, loved you as a babe,
the stars smile at you, wash you in perfect white-light,
and I will reward you after your toil,
(yes, a handsome reward,
with a wife and son,
love so absolute, complete, all-consuming,
that it will wring envy from the heavens. I swear.
You will have peace, fine joy,
pearly white smiles and searing passion,
yes, I promise, love
and you will die a happy Man
old, wise, white-haired,
beloved by his son and grandson's son
a peaceful death after a long-hard life, like sleeping –
You must stay the course, Boromir!
Abandon the fears, the die-hard wounds
simmering torment of the Dark One
abandon the drink, the nightmares, the panic
fight free of this ghost-grasp, loosen
your heart, your mind, your shaking hands,
climb up over it
scaling high up
and there will be your reward:
a sweet and easy life,
as I, Varda, Elbereth, Queen of the Valar, Who-Scattered-the-Stars-in-the-Sky,
hereby Proclaim."
And so She pulled herself away from his cheek,
laid another gentle, warm kiss against his scarred lips
so that he returned it, even in dreaming-exhaustion sleep
and let his own hot breath linger in Hers, so cold,
pulled himself up, seeking Her in the dark
as She drifted away
back to the Home of the Valar
while he sank down into his pillow

Penang Apong (Apom) Balik
Every time I come back to Penang, there are a few hawker food (street food) that I never miss out eating. As I was born and raised in Penang, I seek out to those foods and places that carry sentimental values to me—my favorite dishes and treats I grew up eating, neighborhood restaurants, hawker centers or coffee shops (kopitiam) that my family frequents, or particular hawkers that have known me since I was little. These places are mostly unknown to the tourists as they are not covered by guide books, but to me, they are some of the best foods found in Penang…they are the tastes of my childhood.
One of the treats that I absolutely love is Penang Apong Balik, or Apom Balik, solid by this 70-year old hawker Chooi, along Burmah Road (before Union Primary School). Penang Apong Balik is a Nyonya sweet treat with sliced bananas, some corns, all folded up in a sweet, eggy, aromatic, soft and fluffy pancake, speckled with shredded coconut. The taste, texture and recipe are completely different from the original Indian apom (which is another favorite of mine).
Each piece of this heavenly apong balik is merely RM0.40 (or US$0.15) but trust me on this, it's probably one of the best pancakes ever created. Each apong balik is made by hand by Uncle Chooi, and sold/served immediately to the customers. I can easily gobble up ten (10) of these hot-off-the-pan apong balik as my afternoon snack…they are absolutely delightful and tasty!
With many hawkers in Penang nearing or exceeding retirement age, I am sometimes saddened by the fact that I probably will not have my favorite apong balik in the years ahead. As I mentioned, Chooi is 70 years old and his three children are professionals and will not inherit his humble business. A truly legendary concoction and recipe might be lost forever in the near future. But for now, I will savor every piece of these heavenly apong balik whenever I drive by Chooi's stall.
Apom Chooi 老字号
Burmah Road, Penang
Hours: 1.30pm to 8pm (Closed on Sundays)
To local Penangites, this stall is the less-popular stall next to the famous Apong Guan, but the truth is Chooi is the older brother of Apong Guan, so both have the same family recipe and their apong pretty much taste the same. Chooi has also operated the business longer.

I love Penang apong balik. Haven't had it for the longest time. Thanks for sharing.
got to try it when I'm back this year on May…thanks for sharing :)
Sigh, if you had the recipe to this apong balik, I would've grabbed it and tried it out right away! ;-) It's sure time I get back to my hometown again. Thanks for sharing Bee.
You made me missing home so badly!
I miss this !!
I miss this !!
As you said, at first I thought it is something like appam :-) We make egg pancakes called egg dosa in Kerala. But nothing like this. Guess this is a sweet marriage between the banana fritters and egg dosa :-)
Uncle Chooi looks young for 70!
When I first saw your Apong post I was elated thinking that you would have the recipe also. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Apong is one of the 'must eats' whenever I return home to Malaysia.
This is my favourite Apong Balik store too! I miss Penang food.
This looks very similar to one of Indonesian food street too.. Do you have the recipe for this ? I live in the US for the past 12 years now, and I can't find Asian (traditional) snacks around. I'd like my kids to learn about my background. Thank you so much..! :)
i cannot seem to find your recipes, i am trying to find todays recipe the filled pancake. can you help, i probably are not locating correctly – apong balik – and can you add on printer friendly
You know how much I love you? Really a lot! I want to make this atom balk for sooooo…. Long!
OK, now you have intrigued me with your description. How about a recipe?
This stall's apong balik has more coconut fragrance in it. Love it.
Thanks ! I love this ! Ages miss it from Penang.i will do it soon !
@LeesaPillai…u can get this atXtra near tmn Suria.Its the stall in front of the car wash and its delicious as he's generous with the filling.Theres another further down towards the shophouses…NOT that one pl.
When I was young in Penang, the Indian Apom man would make my apom in earthen clay pots…Like a conductor he would rotate the pots to get the right temperature and doneness….plus I would bring an egg so that he can mix mine batch with the egg i gave him…
Yummy to my tummy…..all on Burmah Road.
..perhaps you should consider doing a "cookbook"of "recipes" from these elderly shop owners, before the recipes are lost when they "retire"…. it would be such a shame not to share this with those of us who live on the other side of the world!!! Please do a Penang cookbook of your best local stalls!!!!
Golfing in Johor is just as great as the good food and down to earth prices. Will you publish the Apong recipe soon?
Gotta LOVE apom balik!! Eat some for me :)
I love street foods. I would love to try this!
Hey, I am a regular at his Stall too, The brothers used to sell Goreng Pisang too! Will always get some when back in Penang. Miss them apong balik
Any recipe for apom balik dear?
Can someone here share this reciepe, I really like this pancake. Please.. Thank you
I really like this Apom Balik ( pancake)… Why No Recipes sharing? Please…. Thank You

John Dingell, the longest serving member of Congress in U.S. history, will announce Monday that he'll retire at the end of the year rather than run for re-election.
The 87-year-old Democratic congressman from Michigan told the Detroit News that "I'm not going to be carried out feet first," adding that "I don't want people to say I stayed too long."
Dingell told the Detroit News that his health "is good enough that I could have done it again. My doctor says I'm OK. And I'm still as smart and capable as anyone on the Hill." But Dingell went on to say that "I'm not certain I would have been able to serve out the two-year term."
Dingell added that the increased partisanship in the halls of Congress have diminished his love of his job.
"This is not the Congress I know and love," said Dingell. "It's hard for me to accept, but it's time to cash it in."
The retirement announcement from Dingell, the "dean of the House" for nearly two decades, was was confirmed to CNN by a Democratic source with knowledge of the congressman's thinking.
Dingell has served in the House of Representatives for 58 years. He was 29 when he was first elected to Congress in a special election to serve out the remainder of the term of his late father, who had held the seat since it was created in 1932.
Dingell's news comes amid a slew of retirement announcements from many senior House and Senate members from both parties. Michigan is also losing longtime Democratic Sen. Carl Levin, who has served in the chamber for 35 years.
Michigan's 12th Congressional District includes several working class southern suburbs of Detroit known as the "Downriver" area. The district stretches west to include Ann Arbor, home to the University of Michigan.
Dingell grabbed 68 percent of the vote in his 2012 re-election. And Barack Obama won two-thirds of the vote in the district in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections.
There's speculation that Dingell's wife of 38 years, Debbie, a Democratic National Committee member, will run for her husband's seat.

Billie Holiday
Don Hunstein
Probably no voice in the history of jazz exerts a deeper fascination than the vulnerable, intimate slur of Billie Holiday, who died in 1959 at the age of 44. With a vocal range of barely an octave and the timbre of a muted horn, Miss Holiday's singing was far from athletic, but it spanned the emotional range of the universe, communicating joy and pain with an immediacy that seemed at once artless and profoundly sophisticated.
Remembering Billie Holiday in her novel ''Sleepless Nights,'' Elizabeth Hardwick came as close as anyone to capturing the essence of a performer who, after all that has been written about her, remains a profound enigma. ''The heart always drew back from the power of her will and its engagement with disaster,'' Ms. Hardwick wrote. ''Stately, sinister and determined, somehow she had retrieved from darkness the miracle of pure style.'' — Stephen Holden

Billie Holiday Reissues
Certainly Billie Holiday's 1930's sides, reissued in several formats by Columbia, are models of balance and charm. The voice is fuller, more conventionally musical. But there is a worldliness, a knowledge, a depth of feeling in the best of her later work that is at least capable of cutting closer to the bone.November 6, 1985 artsReview

FLASHBACK: 35 Years Ago - The Bee Gee's 'Stayin' Alive' Tops The Charts
Friday, February 8, 2013
It was 35 years ago this week in 1978 that the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" enjoyed the first of four weeks at the Number One spot. The song, along with the group's other 1978 Number Ones "How Deep Is Your Love," and "Night Fever," was part of the blockbuster soundtrack to the John Travolta movie Saturday Night Fever, which had opened the previous December.
Shortly after Fever's runaway success, Barry Gibb spoke about the music to Rolling Stone explaining, "I didn't know anybody was going to call it disco, but they did. . . We thought it was R&B. We like the Stylistics and the Delphonics and people who sang in falsetto."
He went on to say that the physical and spiritual vibe of New York City is what drove the song both as a record and as a statement: "'Stayin' Alive' was born of those feelings and the lyric of 'The New York Times' effect on man.' New York, in fact, was having that effect on the whole world at that point. Not so much California, but Studio 54, and the nightlife, and the young people trying to find a future for themselves where without this nightlife, there might not be a future. I think (Travolta's character) 'Tony' depicted that."
The soundtrack album to Saturday Night Fever, featuring music by the Bee Gees, Yvonne Elliman, KC & The Sunshine Band, Tavares, MFSB, and the Trammps, went on to become the biggest-selling soundtrack of all time, selling over 15 million U.S. copies to date.
The album scored four Number One hits: "How Deep Is Your Love," "Stayin' Alive," and "Night Fever," by the Bee Gees, and Yvonne Elliman's "If I Can't Have You." All four hits were actually written by the Bee Gees -- Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb.
Shortly before his death in 2003, Bee Gees co-founder Maurice Gibb told us that the group has always been more focused on new projects rather than past glories: "We've always moved on, not like the cult of the day who want to go back to the '70s; we're still moving forward. We've done that, been there. And it's very hard. . . I always get quite surprised when people ask us sometimes, they'd say things like, 'Oh, can you write another 'Stayin' Alive?' Or could you write another 'You Should Be Dancing?'' It's, like, we can't as writers; we can't go back."
Following the success of Saturday Night Fever the Bee Gees' had three Number One hits from their 1979 album, Spirits Having Flown. When we spoke to Robin Gibb some time ago, he explained that there's a big difference between being a hit pop act and a cultural game changer: "That particular piece of music, it was the biggest selling soundtrack of all time. It still is. And there is nothing . . . it's equated to walking on the moon, nothing really touched the sales of it. The thing about it is, there was no hype, because in those days you couldn't really hype anything. It was purely organic unlike today of course, where everything is hype."
Beginning in 1979 when the Gibbs embarked on their massive Spirits Having Flown tour, "Stayin' Alive" has been a highlight of every Bee Gees concert and has come to symbolize the late '70s disco movement.
O'Jays frontman Eddie Levert is a huge Bee Gees fans and loved what they did musically during their 1970s comeback: "I think the Bee Gees are the greatest thing that goes about, 'cause these guys have been able to keep reinventing themselves. We've almost come that distance with them, but they still have proven that they've been able to live in every century. Well, most of the artists nowadays, man, they rely on these samples. They need to start creating the licks again."

High school notebook: Noble boys hoop on the right track
Thursday, January 10, 2013
NORTH BERWICK, Maine — The Noble High School boys basketball team isn't exactly tearing up Western Maine Class A, and the Knights know it.
"Everybody is more accountable for themselves," said Kimber, who had previous stints as an assistant coach at Portsmouth and Epping. "They play as a team and they play for each other. Losing programs, they usually don't play for each other. They point fingers. That's what we've tried to emphasize this year, to be more of a team-oriented team."
In addition to Della-Piana, Waterman has been a big scorer for the Knights. He scored 11 against Massabesic and 21 in a 43-40 win over Westbrook on Dec. 28. Junior guard Sean Jackson also has a nose for the basket.
"My sophomore and junior years, I started for teams that didn't plan to win," he said. "This year, we come into games planning to win, and it's really a fun thing."

One cliff after another
Blog Entry:
December 27, 2012 4:30 AM | Author: ROBERT GIALAMAS
Robert Gialamas
Robert Gialamas, FPC is president of Paytime Payroll Processing, an integrated payroll service provider located in Solon.
I have decided that the word "Cliff" should be used for all new and important aspects of governmental action. If you are reading this, it means you have survived the Mayan Government's Calendar Cliff (phew, I was concerned). Now with that behind us and 2013 looming just beyond the horizon, I thought it would be a great time to reflect on what new payroll items you or your Payroll department needs to be concerned with coming into the new year.
Many of these items have been put into effect by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) which President Obama signed into law back in March of 2010; otherwise known as Obamacare Cliff, in my book. More of a series of cliffs, actually, as many of the provisions of this act have been staged to occur over several years. There are also a couple of key items which are part of the Fiscal Cliff fiasco. (I couldn't call it the Fiscal Cliff Cliff.) I hope you have your repelling gear and crampons ready, because here is what you need to be aware of for 2013 payroll:
• Extra .9% Employee paid Medicare Tax on highly paid individuals
• FSA Contribution limit set to $2500.00
• Health Care Costs reported on W-2's
• Counting employees to determine affordability
• Employee Social Security returns to 6.2%
• What about those 2013 tax tables?
Extra .9% employee paid medicare tax on highly paid individuals
Beginning January 1, 2013, employees earning an excess of $200,000 will be subject to an increased Medicare tax based on a mandate imposed by the PPACA. From a payroll perspective, in order to be compliant, you must withhold the extra 0.9% Medicare tax from the employee on every dollar they earn through payroll over $200,000.00. You don't need to know about their filing status, AGI, type of car they drive or anything else. If they are on payroll and earn $200,001.00 you must withhold the 0.9% on the $1.00 of income over $200,000.00 and report it correctly on the appropriate payroll tax returns.
For a full FAQ issued by the IRS,
click here
FSA contribution limit set to $2500.00
Beginning January 1, 2013, Health Care FSA contributions will be limited to $2,500 per calendar year per employee as a result of PPACA. The contribution cap applies
specifically to the calendar year, not the plan year
. Employers have traditionally determined these cap limitations in the past. As before, the contributions will continue to account for pre-tax dollars and must be used within the corresponding calendar year. In short, pre-tax dollars will be further limited.
For more information from the IRS,
click here
Health care costs reported on W-2s
The PPACA requires employers to report the total cost of certain employer-sponsored health care plans on the employees' W-2 forms. By listing this information on the W-2, employers provide employees and the government with a better understanding of the actual cost of the individual's healthcare plan. The cost of coverage information reported by employers is strictly informational and is currently not taxable. As a general rule, this reporting is required for employers who filed at least 250 W-2s in the prior year. Example, for 2012 W-2s issued in January of 2013, it is required for any employer who filed at least 250 W-2s in 2011. This provision is optional for any business filing less than 250 W-2 forms in the previous tax year along with several other qualifying exceptions.
For more information on W-2 reporting of employer sponsored health coverage from the IRS
click here
Counting employees to determine healthcare affordability
Otherwise known as the "Employer Shared Responsibility Payment" portion of PPACA, starting in 2014, employers with at least 50 full time employees (FTEs) will be required to offer healthcare to employees if certain criteria are met or pay a penalty per employee (healthcare tax of sorts). In 2013, employers will need to count the number of employees who work an average of 30 hours per week, which is a FTE according to these regulations, as the measure of who will be required to offer health care to their employees. Most employers will need to discuss this with a health care expert who can guide them through the process. From a payroll perspective, you will need to be able to determine who has worked an average of 30 hours per week over a lookback or testing period.
For more information from the IRS on Employer Shared healthcare affordability
click here
Employee social security rate returns to 6.2%
The end of the Social Security tax holiday will occur on Dec 31st 2012, if it is not extended by last minute Fiscal Cliff plan passage. As of January 1, 2013, employees must resume making a 6.2% contribution to the Social Security fund. Previously, employee Social Security contributions were reduced to 4.2% due to a mandate provided by The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010.
For a downloadable fact sheet and more information,
click here
What about those 2013 tax tables?
The official IRS response has been…"Don't know, we are still waiting on them from Treasury". They are "hanging" in the balance with this whole Fiscal Cliff Fiasco. In the meantime, they have recommended continuing to use the 2012 tax tables until further guidance from IRS is provided.
Hopefully you didn't fall off the awareness cliff while reading this blog and are still awake. You can remove your repelling gear and crampons now, but keep them nearby because I'm guessing it will only be a matter of weeks or months before Congress and the political parties involved again change the slope of our economic terrain and challenge payroll professionals once again. We'll be ready…

Phoronix: Easy Mesa Projects To Start Working On GPU Drivers
For those Linux users with C/C++ development experience that have been wanting to get involved with working on the open-source Mesa 3D/OpenGL drivers, a new Wiki page has been setup that outlines -- almost step-by-step -- some easy projects to get started on for adding new OpenGL features to Mesa...
Very useful.
Documentation about how features where implemented could be added to help newbies.
It tells them how stuff are being done and gives a good example to get some information about the problems encountered.
Thank you very much Michael for covering this on front page! Hopefully this will help main developers to focus on delivering key features and attracting more people.
Since I'm not subscribed to mesa-dev, I'll post here:
malloc and realloc do entirely different things. I don't think this change is correct.Code:- new_data = _mesa_realloc( bufObj->Data, bufObj->Size, size ); + new_data = _mesa_align_malloc( size, ctx->Const.MinMapBufferAlignment );
Thanks for your work!
I haven't dug up the surrounding code, I've just gone through the patch contents themselves so far. The only other one that looks odd is that the ILO driver sets its minimum alignment to 4k, as opposed to all other drivers which look like they align to 64-byte boundaries. Maybe that's a requirement of ILO, but it seems odd that only this driver has that requirement... but I haven't checked if i965 classic uses this same alignment requirement.
So what is glBufferData supposed to do in plain English? Well that's going to feed the binded (currently active) OpenGL buffer with data residing in memory (CPU side) which can be geometry attributes like vertex positions, normals, tangents, indices, bone weights (used for skinning) or whatever user (graphics/game programmer) wants and uploads them to GPU memory. Now everytime that user wants to draw something, he just binds those buffers which already resides in GPU memory again and kindly asks her to render them.Code:/** * Allocate space for and store data in a buffer object. Any data that was * previously stored in the buffer object is lost. If \c data is \c NULL, * memory will be allocated, but no copy will occur. * * This is the default callback for \c dd_function_table::BufferData() * Note that all GL error checking will have been done already. * * \param ctx GL context. * \param target Buffer object target on which to operate. * \param size Size, in bytes, of the new data store. * \param data Pointer to the data to store in the buffer object. This * pointer may be \c NULL. * \param usage Hints about how the data will be used. * \param bufObj Object to be used. * * \return GL_TRUE for success, GL_FALSE for failure * \sa glBufferDataARB, dd_function_table::BufferData. */ static GLboolean _mesa_buffer_data( struct gl_context *ctx, GLenum target, GLsizeiptrARB size, const GLvoid * data, GLenum usage, struct gl_buffer_object * bufObj )

A "product" can also be open source, but usually it's not, and the main focus is to sell well.
Their answer was meant for clueless users who are being fed the "religious fanatics of FOSS" crap by astroturfers and who probably only want to play some games under Wine on Ubuntu.
The fact that kernel developers have a really hard time dealing with Nvidia hardware is something they don't want addressed, so they bring out the PR candy about features and products and corporate vision and progress and freedom and universal human rights. So the casual user, who blames SuSE when his blob fucks up, keeps buying the closed hardware and blaming Linus and the kernel and X devs every time he has a problem.

nvidia suggesting bumblebee, really? x'D
That's pathetic, I'll just buy amd, even if it has crappy drivers :@
I just removed the last Nvidia card from my systems; now running ATI and Intel with Fedora 17 out-of-the-box drivers. I get flawless 1080p video, 3D desktop and adequate light gaming. When Nvidia considers updating their attitude, I'll reconsider my opinion and recommendations.
What the hell is Nvidia trying to do. OOh there is Bumblebee, so we dont need to do anything anymore =_=!.. On my laptop, the Nvidia drivers STILL DONT work. Jockey doesn't see any Nvidia drivers and doing it manually doesn't work. Nvidia GT 520MX- Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit (session fallback mode)
I'm not a ROM developer so I don't actually know how right I am...

I've never understood why people say the Nvidia drivers are better than the Ati drivers for Linux, I've had way more problems with Nvidia cards than Ati cards on Linux. Where did this come from?

Fell and Fair
31. Late that Afternoon
Fourth Age
Sweating freely, I scale the sheer rock face. The familiar roar of the waterfall nearby bespeaks home to me: where always we return, no matter how wearied or how far astray. At last, I clamber onto the pine-shaded rim.
Our birthplace nestles below, secluded yet welcoming. Slanting sunbeams gild the rooftops scattered amongst the beeches. The brink of the ravine casts a shadow along the loud-flowing Bruinen.
Though our valley appears unaltered, our world has forever changed.
As I ponder, the evening gloom creeps towards the house, stealthy and unyielding.
If we sail, will we ever again find home?
Elfaron picks his way along the cliffside, headstall jingling. Despite the darkness, I trust him to sense a safe route for us.
Whenever Elladan wants to mull over important matters, he seeks his mount and gallops fast and far. His brother prefers to challenge his own body.
In childhood, Elrohir would climb the bell-tower, alarming Celebrían. Now, he pits his skill against the steep cliffs of Imladris. It helps him reflect... yet when he stays atop for so long, his musing turns to brooding.
I will join him. Though he resists, talking over what troubles him often raises his spirits.
I settle myself next to Elrohir, confident of a moody reception.
"Gil-Estel seems especially close tonight," I remark, "almost within reach."
Eärendil progresses along his star-strewn path.
Elrohir sighs. "I sometimes wonder whether a real person could sail the skies in a ship... or is he a myth? Did you encounter Eärendil in Aman?"
"No." I chuckle. "I was elsewhere when the Valar launched Vingilot. But the Mariner does indeed steer it — remember how he felled Ancalagon? Your father witnessed it himself."
Glancing sideways, I add, "And he would truly rejoice to meet his grandsons in the Undying Lands."
"Do you ever miss Gondolin?"
"Every day."
"How can you bear never seeing it again?"
"I carry its memory with me always, in my heart. The city was magnificent — but what made it home was the people I loved there.
"And I have had several homes, each one dear to me."
A sudden thought disconcerts me. "Would you reestablish the Golden Flower in Aman?"
He squeezes my shoulder. "Whether I dwell with the House of Elrond or not, I will always be nearby. How could I settle far from the mewling infants who grew into staunch warriors while I watched?"
My eyes moisten. "You are no mere onlooker, my dear friend and mentor!"
His smile brightens.
I compose myself to ask, "Why have you not married?"
"Because, like you, I dedicated myself to a task of great consequence." He sounds wistful. "When it is complete, I will be free to seek a kindred soul."
"And what task is that?"
"To guard the immortal line of Turgon in Middle-earth."
I blink. "But... what if either of us chooses mortality? Would you leave him here alone?"
"No. I would bury him. And then I would grieve."
Finally, my tears begin to spill.
I hold Elrohir as he at last mourns for the losses he will face — whether he leaves or lingers.
Elrond's sons are loath to abandon Imladris, knowing no other home.
But neither are they aware yet how much the gradual fading of Middle-earth is wearing them down. Elladan is far thinner than when Elrond sailed, Elrohir's melancholy more frequent.
I ache to comfort him with assurances that both can find renewal in the Blessed Realm — to extol its healing virtues — but I deem it not my place to influence their decision.
Yet however they choose, I will stand by them.

CNN — Last week, a nationwide study was released that drew attention to the amount of seafood being labeled, sold and served as a species it is not.
Out of the 1,215 samples tested by ocean conservation group Oceana, 401 were determined to be mislabeled.
Amid the seafood sleuthing, Wayne Samiere says consumer knowledge is power. Samiere is the founder and CEO of Honolulu Fish Company and a trained marine biologist; he has also worked for the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
"Information about various types of seafood is not as familiar to consumers as the basic facts about beef, chicken and pork," Samiere said. "Reputable seafood vendors make an effort to educate their customers about products they are selling. However, there are vendors who want to label their seafood products with a name that consumers know and find appealing."
With a few easy tricks, Samiere says you can feel empowered to avoid the old "bait and switch" problem next time you visit your local seafood counter or restaurant.
1. Warning signs
A consumer should enjoy seafood in restaurants that have a reputation for serving quality food. There are some warning signs that may indicate a "bait and switch" establishment. These include: When the price of a dish is just too good to be true; when the server seems quite unknowledgeable about the fish; and when the restaurant doesn't seem at all excited about the fish they're offering. When any of these happen, consider ordering something (or going somewhere) else.
Another simple question you can ask waitstaff or a seafood retailer is: "Would you eat the fish raw as sashimi or sushi?" Sashimi requires the highest standard seafood products. A good vendor selling a respectable fish product won't hesitate to say yes. If they have any doubts about the freshness or wholesomeness of their fish, you will usually be able to detect it in their response.
2. Educate yourself
The best way to better protect yourself against mislabeling is to simply learn more about fish. You can use the internet to study up on raw and prepared fish pictures, and to learn about the specific characteristics found in each species.
For example, sea bass and red snapper are two popular fish that are available at restaurants around the globe. Unfortunately, they often can be the victim of the old bait-and-switch. To prevent this from happening, learn what characteristics each species offers and then research their substitutes. Any flaky, white meat fish can be substituted for sea bass or snapper including pollock, flatfishes, tilapia or catfish.
3. Avoid pre-frozen and pre-treated tuna
Before purchasing fresh tuna from a local retailer, ask the salesperson if the tuna has been previously frozen and if carbon monoxide or tasteless smoke has been used to process the tuna. When tuna is exposed to carbon monoxide or tasteless smoke, the fish meat turns red and will stay red even when it is frozen or decomposing. As a result, any visual clues about the freshness of the fish will be masked, making it nearly impossible for a consumer to know the quality level of the tuna.
4. U.S. vs. foreign fish
When dining at a restaurant, ask the waitstaff or chef if the fish was caught in the U.S. or in a foreign country. U.S.-caught fish are handled and processed by closely monitored U.S. factories. U.S. fish processing factories must abide by strict health and sanitation regulations. Unfortunately, a lot of foreign-caught fish come from overseas facilities that are not regulated and are often far below U.S. standards. Consumers want to avoid purchasing fish that has been inside an unregulated facility.
5. Use your nose!
The best tool a consumer has to determine the safety of their seafood is their nose. Raw, uncooked seafood of any kind should not smell offensive in any way. If you don't like the smell of something, you won't like the taste. We all have natural sensors for detecting bad, offensive odors that could be caused by decomposition. Good fish products will not smell unpleasant, no matter how strong their natural smell may be.
