|Actor, Choreographer, Dancer, Singer
|Years Active:
Harry Shum, Jr. born April 28, 1982, is a 32-year-old American dancer, singer, choreographer and actor. He is known for his role as Mike Chang on Glee.
Personal life
He was born in Puerto Limón, Costa Rica. His mother is a native of Hong Kong, and his father is from Guangzhou, China. The couple relocated to Costa Rica, where Harry and his two older sisters were born. When Harry was six years old, the family moved to San Francisco, California. Shum graduated from Arroyo Grande High School in 2000. He started dancing with his high school dance company team and continued his career in San Francisco under several different studios.
He has been engaged to longtime girlfriend Shelby Rabara since October 2013.[1]
Shum launched his career as the only male dancer on BET's Comic View in 2002 and has continued his dancing career from there. He was also one of the lead dancers with stars such as Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Simpson. He won a dance competition to dance in an iPod commercial. He had also previously been in a McDonalds advert, when he was younger.
He also appeared in Zoey 101 and iCarly, but only as minor characters.
He currently plays Mike Chang, a dancer who joins the Glee Club, on the Fox musical television show Glee. Known for a while as the "Other Asian" on Glee, with very few lines during the show's first season, Shum's character was given storylines in the second season, mostly involving his relationship with fellow Glee Club member Tina Cohen-Chang (Jenna Ushkowitz), and his performances of Make 'Em Laugh in The Substitute, Sing! from A Chorus Line in Duets, Valerie in Special Education and the show's first dance solo in A Night of Neglect.
He was promoted from guest star to series regular for the third season, which is Mike's senior year of high school. He has already been given a major storyline in the third episode, Asian F, and performed Cool from West Side Story, his first solo song.
In June, it was announced that Shum would not be returning as a series regular on Glee's fifth season, but will instead be a recurring guest star, along with Amber Riley, Heather Morris, and Mark Salling.

my suggestion is as pictured:
I feel that currently there is too muc confusing as to where to post what and a few forums that dont really get used the employment section for one and the trader and for sale sections hardly get used
And Generally I dont feel comfortable posting OT topics in general chit chat because its still used for on topic discussion and I dont like to clutter what a view as an important forum with relatively unimportant banter. And I feel with a proper off topic section more general chit chat will spring up and thus more members might choose to hang around (you've got to admit we do have a high number of passing through members and very few of us hang around)
Also I think a stat by state where to go is a good Idea because I find that I see places that I've never heard of and I google them and they are in other states all the time. If they were in a state by state Im sure memebers from those state could post advice and if someone from one state was travelling to another they could ask in that stats forum where the must go places are etc. This could also extend to having information eventually on permits etc and how to obtain them and this I feel would be very valuable to members.
Also I think software update has to come soon. This software is out dated And we need to enable file attachments. Im sure gypsylady and myself arent the only ones who get frustrated by having to upload onto sites like photobucked then having to copy the link over.
Any way thats my 2c
Good luck with it guys and keep up the good work the forum generally runs quite well and the spammers seem to be pretty much elliminated

Accessibility and the Law
Website accessibility is obviously an integral part of user experience; a negative user experience is certain to occur when a consumer cannot access a commercial website, which, in turn, almost always carries negative business consequences. To make matters worse, an inaccessible website may also expose the site owner and/or designer to legal liability.
Accessing the Internet as an Individual with a Disability
Since the Internet transitioned from a predominantly text-based to a graphics-based phenomenon, accessibility of websites has been an issue for individuals with disabilities, most notably those with vision or mobility impairments who cannot easily use standard computer equipment. The number of Americans with such disabilities (already in the millions) is growing each day as aging baby boomers—who have disposable income and are accustomed to spending that income online—develop these disabilities. Individuals with these disabilities rely on adaptive technologies, such as screen reading software, to provide them with feedback that helps them navigate through web pages, obtain information, purchase goods, and contract for services. As a result, website designers should observe some well documented, basic programming tenets when creating or updating webpages to allow users of adaptive technologies to access websites.
Indeed, a website created in accordance with "universal design" typically benefits both disabled and nondisabled users. For example, a website designed to be universally accessible is typically organized better than an inaccessible site, permitting better ease of use and a superior user experience. Further, simple programming techniques allow a universally accessible website to be as aesthetically pleasing as the designers' imaginations will permit. In other words, accessibility is not mutually exclusive of creativity.
Why Accessibility Is Important
There are several reasons it is important to proactively make a website accessible. First, an accessible website expands a business's market to include individuals with disabilities who use the Internet to shop and do research in the same way nondisabled individuals do. In fact, most disability communities share amongst each other which sites to use because they are accessible and which to avoid because they are not. Second, retroactively correcting years' worth of inaccessible programming consumes vastly more financial and programming resources than taking simple steps to make a website accessible when it is initially designed or substantially updated. Third, an accessible site avoids exposure to potential lawsuits.
The Americans with Disabilities Act and the Internet
The principal law pertaining to accessibility of commercial websites is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq. Title III of the ADA prohibits discrimination against an individual "on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation…." Discrimination includes denial of participation as well as provision of separate, but unequal, goods or services. "Public accommodation" is defined to include operations that "affect commerce;" the law provides 12 general categories of covered businesses such as hotels, restaurants, places of entertainment, sales and rental establishments, service establishments, places of recreation, and places of education. The law also requires affirmative "reasonable modifications" of "policies, practices, and procedures" to make them equally accessible.
The United States Supreme Court has yet to specifically rule that Title III requires private companies to make their websites accessible, but there has been significant guidance from the lower federal courts and the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), which enforces the ADA, that Title III does apply to commercial websites. Many major businesses, including AOL, Amazon, and Target, have relied on this guidance in deciding to make their websites accessible pursuant to Title III.
One of the landmark cases on this issue is Carparts Distribution Center, Inc. v. Automotive Wholesaler's Ass'n of New England, Inc., 37 F.3d 12 (1st Cir. 1994). Although Carparts does not actually concern the Internet, it is important because it establishes that "public accommodation" as defined in Title III is not limited to physical structures. Another federal appeals court later adopted the logical foundation laid by the Carparts decision and added that the purpose of Title III
is that the owner or operator of a… Web site, or other facility (whether in physical space or in electronic space) that is open to the public cannot exclude disabled persons from entering the facility and, once in, from using the facility in the same way that the nondisabled do.
Doe v. Mutual of Omaha Ins. Co., 179 F.3d 557, 559 (7th Cir. 1999) (citation omitted).
Like Carparts, however, Doe did not specifically involve a claim regarding accessibility of a website.
The Target Case
Subsequent litigation, however, leaves little question that Title III requires commercial websites to be accessible. The key legal decision in this regard is National Federation of the Blind v. Target Corp., 452 F. Supp. 2d 946 (N.D. Cal. 2006). In that case, the plaintiffs claimed that Target's website, target.com, which offered goods for sale and provided information regarding services offered at brick-and-mortar Target stores, was inaccessible and thus in violation of the ADA and California state law. Target moved to dismiss the claim on the grounds that the laws did not apply to the website. The court rejected Target's argument and focused on the plain language of the ADA in ruling that Target's brick-and-mortar stores are "public accommodations" under the definition set forth in Title III.
The court then determined that target.com was a "service" of Target's stores in light of the transactional and informational connections between the two. It was just a matter of finishing the syllogism that, as a service of a public accommodation, Target.com was subject to Title III. The ruling in Target was based on the "nexus" between the website and the brick-and-mortar stores. Another court in an earlier case, Access Now v. Southwest Airlines, 227 F. Supp. 2d 1312 (S.D. Fla. 2002), reached a different conclusion than the Target court because the website at issue was not related to a physical place of business. This factor, however, may no longer be part of the analysis after the DOJ issues proposed regulations regarding the ADA's applicability to the Internet.
Upcoming Regulations and the Probable Expansion of the Target Ruling
In conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the ADA, the DOJ has clearly expressed that it regards commercial websites as being covered by the ADA. On April 22, 2010, Samuel R. Bagenstos, the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, testified before a House subcommittee that
[t]he Department of Justice has long taken the position that… websites of private entities that are public accommodations are covered by the ADA. In other words, the websites of entities covered by… Title III of the [ADA] are required by law [to be] fully accessible to individuals with disabilities.
Emerging Technologies and the Rights of Individuals with Disabilities: Hearing Before the Subcomm. on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties of the H. Comm. on the Judiciary, 111th Cong. 5 (2010).
Bagenstos went on to describe the DOJ's two "friend of the court" briefs filed in federal appeals courts where the Department expressed the position that "a business providing services solely over the internet is subject to the ADA's prohibitions on discrimination on the basis of disability." Id. at 6. Then, in July, the DOJ released a notice that it was considering regulations on the subject of commercial websites' compliance with the ADA. Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Accessibility of Web Information and Services of State and Local Government Entities and Public Accommodations, 75 Fed. Reg. 43460 (proposed July 26, 2010). The notice reiterated the position previously stated by Bagenstos and declared that "the Department is focused on the goods and services of public accommodations that operate exclusively or through some type of presence on the Web—whether hosting their own Web site or participating in a host's Web site…" Id. at 43465 (emphasis added). This clearly indicates that the DOJ is considering an expansion of the Target and Access Now decisions to require public accommodations that do not have a brick-and-mortar presence to make their websites accessible.
Other Laws and Designer Liability
In addition to the ADA are state laws, such as California's Unruh Civil Rights Act and Disabled Persons Act, which are at least co-extensive with the ADA in terms of scope and permit damage awards. These monetary damage awards are even more incentive for a business to make their websites accessible than the standard consequence under Title III of a court compelling a website to be made accessible. The Unruh Civil Rights Act also makes it illegal to aid or abet discriminatory activity, which implicates the actions of website designers as well as website owners. Further, these state laws could very well be interpreted to extend even further than the ADA with respect to accessibility of commercial websites, particularly in the context of online-only businesses.
What Does This All Mean?
In sum, it is clear that Title III applies to commercial websites and there are increasing indications that the DOJ intends to make no distinction between businesses with brick-and-mortar locations and those that operate solely online. In addition to the legal considerations, there are sound business reasons to design accessible websites, including a better user experience for all consumers, avoiding higher costs of retroactive compliance with the law, and increased revenues by capitalizing on an expanded market. Who ever said doing the right thing had to be difficult?

How does the law affect things like audio and video content where captioning or transcription isn't made available to people who have a hearing loss, especially when the content is premium content (i.e. paid)?
E.g. Membership sites that offer paid training via video content who don't offer captioning. Are they breaking the law?
What if you're using a 3rd party CMS system or framework - let's just say SharePoint (not a CMS, per se) or ASP.NET - where the code is server generated and you end up with something like:
- <input type="button" onclick="javascript:doLogin();" value="Login">
- <input type="radio" name="choice" value="wow">Wow
- Privacy
You raise some interesting points, but I think that the fundamental question of whether a website is accessible can be answered by some pretty simple steps. Automated tools keyed to accessibility standards are a helpful starting point, but usability testing performed by live testers breathes life into legal and other standards and brings into sharp relief whether a site is accessible. At Brown, Goldstein & Levy, we approach the question this way on behalf of our blind and visually-impaired clients: can a blind person perform the same transactions and obtain the same information as a sighted person with a substantially equivalent ease of use? In other words, if it is taking an average blind person 20 minutes to buy the same sweater I (as a sighted person) just bought in 3 minutes, then there is a problem. That disparity in time is not meant to signify any threshold for us, but is merely an illustrative example of the concept.
And, as to the question about a "degrading" webpage, I have to stress the importance of proper maintenance. A coding/design manual and proper training of designers is a critical aspect of making and keeping a site accessible. A website that started out as accessible, but becomes inaccessible over time is violative of the law all the same.
Thanks, as always, for your great work on accessibility. I agree that it is always preferrable to negotiate a settlement with websites prior to litigation. Brown, Goldstein & Levy always strives for an amicable resolution that benefits everyone without the need to file a lawsuit. We have settled many website accessibility disputes this way, including Amazon.com and AOL. That said, there are many website designers and owners who are not as willing to participate in discussions without litigation. For instance, it took the initial stages of litigation to bring Target to the negotiating table.
In sum, we much prefer to resolve disputes about accessibility in the setting of negotiated settlements, but we recognize that sometimes litigation is what is necessary.
You are quite right; I agree that it is the morally and socially "right thing" to do in addition to the other reasons I gave. I suppose I take that as a predicate to this discussion and explore the practical reasons in the context of how businesses generally approach accessibility. My practice has confirmed, time and again, that businesses are primarily motivated to make their websites accessible because of the factors I laid out in the article. The desire to do the "right thing" is typically a factor, but usually not enough of one by itself to prompt a commitment to accessible design.
You ask "Why Accessibility Is Important".
The answer is simple: it's the decent thing to do.
We should all be sensative to disabled persons' needs in all areas of life, but the law itself seems so gray. What is the baseline for validating what "full and equal enjoyment" means? Of course, this is what the mentioned court cases (and all those to follow, it seems) will be about.
Reading WCAG and other website standards for defining accessibility demonstrates the difficulty in creating a pigeonhole for disabled persons. Not only are there different disabilities, but different levels of disabilities. Even looking at standard users where there are different computers running different browsers, most sites are not created to provide "full and equal enjoyment" to all those browser variations, but instead "degrade gracefully". Would those be in violation of "full and equal enjoyment" from an accessibility perspective?
There is something to be said about laws and standards, but when the laws attempt to cover everything troubles begin. If business were savvy, they wouldn't need airtight laws because they would cater to website users of all abilities. As mentioned in the article, a negative user experience can translate to lower profits.
Thanks for this article Greg. Readers may also want to know about the large commercial sites that have become accessible as a result of Structured Negotiations - a non-litigation approach to solving disability technology issues. Entities committing to accessibility as a result of that process include Major League Baseball, Bank of America, and CVS.

I enjoyed the light of this view, with the contrast between the sunlight of the "apostles" and the dark shaded coolness of the cliffs.
The 12 Apostles are a well know rock formation & landmark on the great ocean road in southern Victoria. The road runs from just west of Melbourne to near the South Australian Border.
This painting came from a trip driving the "long way" from Sydney to Adelaide. The trip takes a while but the scenery makes it very worthwhile.
The front "Apostle" has now collapsed into the sea.
beautiful work
A great rendition of this very famous spot !
This is absolutely beautiful!
Awesome work well done love it

Anyway, the dreams ( http://is.gd/UaVN5t ) are ruined.
However of course it's Hannu's fault by making it closed source.

Chun Li: My father saved his village at the cost of his own life. You had him shot as you ran away. A hero at a thousand paces!
Bison: I'm sorry... I don't remember any of it.
Chun Li: You don't remember?
Bison: For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday.

Very nice,. I'm so proud of you :P
It is an awesome game and you guys really have every right to be very proud Definitely a gold standard in historical strategy games!
What does he mean by the bolded part?Decisions now require magistrates, a human resource like EU3's colonists, spies, and merchants. Your country generates magistrates at a rate determined by factors like the number of universities that you've built or the decisions that you've implemented. Regardless of how you get them, they tend to be scarce, which means that you'll often face tough choices like whether to spend all of your magistrates to build a single canal or to build roads in multiple provinces. Don't give too much power to your magistrates, however, or they may try to stage a coup--turning the government into a bureaucratic despotism.
It's an event which possibly converts your government to bureaucratic despotism. I'm not sure if it's related to the use of magistrates though.
Whatever good you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.
When you have made provincial decision Expand bureaucracy,an event in which you can change to bureaucratic despotism may fire. So yes its related to magistrates.
As a longtime player of Paradox games, I feel compelled to say that I am thrilled with Heir to the Throne. Never has an expansion so thoroughly improved a game, and to think it was almost not made. Congratulations, Paradox, you made a great game even greater.
This expansion brings this already great game one more
amazing step closer to the complete grand strategy
In my opnion the best and most superb strategy game
of all time!
totally. you rule. i don't bother playing video games from anybody else. in fact, if it weren't for you, i probably wouldn't play video games.
thanks for the amazing, unique contribution you make to the (gaming) world. as a history teacher, i have told/converted more than one student to your games.
as one of the best rockers on the planet says: "gold star for robot boy!"
HTTT is the best expansion pack so far, incorporating more detail into legitimate (and illegitimate) inherited titles without adding too much detail and unnecessary micro management. The reworked Cassus Belli system makes so much more sense, and requires different (and interesting) long term planning from previous versions.
Without getting too long winded, I'll wrap up with: Paradox continues to provide interesting expansions and software patches to their established titles, entitling their customers/fans to enjoy unprecedented customer service. The best in the business.
Thumbs Up!
Never ask me if I care; you should know that answer before you even ask the question.
I am playing HttT, but I cannot find the manual. Where can I find that thing?
May the dead of one million open the doors to a new future in Rwanda.
Thank you very much!
May the dead of one million open the doors to a new future in Rwanda.
I really love it as well
You bunch of sods. Just when I was looking to get some overdue paperwork done having done the Napoleon campaign on the new and much improved Total War I now see that there is this "Heir" expansion out for EU3.
Why do you do this to me!? ;-)
I would very much like to say that I love this game too, as so many of you have said here. But as a Steam client, I am having a consistent problem of the game stuttering to a crash. I will be trying to find out what is wrong with the patient, and from my experience with all such purchases, it is going to be a nightmare. If any of you can point me in a good direction, please feel welcome to do so.

Basic Pizza Dough
This months Daring Bakers challenge was pizza dough. I have made pizza dough several times but I have never been quite satisfied with the results and I was looking forward to trying the Daring Bakers recipe. One of the requirements of the DB challenge was to actually toss the dough to form it rather than just rolling it; so it sounded like it would be a bit of fun as well. This pizza dough requires that you let it rest in the fridge at least over night so you have to plan a bit ahead.
I found this pizza dough to be a bit difficult to work with. It was super sticky from the get go and required constant dustings of flour and oil to keep it from sticking to everything. It was however fun trying to form the dough into a circle without rolling it. I did not manage to form perfect circles with any of my pizzas but that did not affect their taste at all. I think more practice is in order. :) In the end this pizza crust turned out to be the best that I have made at home and I quite enjoyed it.
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1/4 cup olive oil
1 3/4 cups water (ice cold)
1 tablespoon sugar
cornmeal (or semolina flour) for dusting
1. Mix the flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl.
2. Add the oil, water and sugar and mix until it forms a sticky ball of dough.
3. Knead on a clean surface for 5-7 minutes adding flour if it is too wet or water if it is too dry.
4. Cut the dough into three pieces and form them into balls.
5. Place the dough balls on a pan, spray them with oil and cover them with plastic.
6. Place the dough in the fridge and let it rest over night or up to three days.
7. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and form it into discs. Lightly flour the discs, spray them with oil, cover them with parchment paper and let them rest for 2 hours.
8. Flour (or oil) your hands and lay the dough across your knuckles. Lightly bounce the dough on your knuckles, turning it and stretching it until it reaches the size that you want.
9. Place the dough on a baking pan dusted with cornmeal.
10. Add your pizza toppings.
11. Bake in a preheated 500F oven until golden brown on top, about 5-10 minutes.
Use in:
Taco Pizza
Thai Chicken Pizza with Sweet Chili Sauce
Jalapeno Popper Pizza

A realistic-looking statue of a man sleepwalking in his underwear is causing a stir on the campus of Boston's Wellesley College.
The figure, which sits beside a street on campus, is actually a sculpture by artist Tony Matelli.
Entitled "Sleepwalker," it was intended to draw attention to Matelli's new exhibit at the campus museum.
And it certainly has.
While some are fine with the statute, more than 500 students have signed a petition demanding its removal, calling it "inappropriate" and "potentially harmful."
"This could be a trigger for students who have experienced sexual assault," freshman Sarah Schreiner told the Boston Globe.
School officials aren't budging so far.
The statue is scheduled to remain up until July 20, or for the duration of Matelli's exhibit.

All I see is speculation going on and on. I think the real problem is not if Greece, Ireland, Portugal or Spain will be able to pay their debts, but how will the be able. We can´t prettend that these countries get back up with the outrageous conditions and reforms the EBC and company are setting. A country´s economic system is not just about the debt a country holds and how much of the GDP it represents, but also the activity it generates. All this conditions and reforms that, for exmaple Greece or Portugal are force to carry out, are not doing any good to the activity inside these countries. They are JUST "granting" the lenders, or more certainly Germany, that they will be able to pay the money back. But how will they be able, if the only results of these reforms are: increasing the unemployment rate, therefore less people have money to buy, therefore medium and small sized bussineses are closing due to the inactivity in the economic system.
why singling out these nations? Which nation can pay its debts? Stop being a racist!
If you had any notion at all you would know by now Ireland is after paying back 12 billion plus interest this year alone.

Korean Short Rib Burritos
I certainly enjoyed eating the Korean short rib tacos during the week but by the end of the week I is looking to change things up a bit. Another item on the Kogi menu was burritos and those burritos are breakfast burritos with eggs. Thought the breakfast burritos sounded good I was thinking of a more dinner style burrito. I normally construct my burritos with a base of rice, beans and meat and then add the extras like salsa, cheese, etc. For the barbecue short rib burritos I went with cilantro and lime rice made with brown short grain rice, the Korean style refried beans, the barbecue short ribs and the other fixings from the short rib tacos. The Korean short rib burritos were pretty easy to make given that most of the ingredients were already made and they turned out nicely. The cilantro and lime rice and refried beans went really well with the Korean short ribs and the rest of the taco condiments. The burritos were nice and tasty and filling with the perfect amount of heat. The next time I make kalbi I am going to have to try the breakfast version of these burritos as well.
Korean Short Rib Burrito(makes 4 burritos)

4 large tortillas
1 pound kalbi (Korean barbecue short ribs) (cut into small pieces)

1 cup shredded lettuce in a Korean sesame vinaigrette
4 tablespoons sesame seeds (toasted and crushed)

11. Chorus III (Dream Prologue)
They found a tussock in the plains to the northeast, with rocks and shrubs to lean against. There, a fire was lit and they made camp. Second One helped bind Boromir's hands and knees, while Radagast spoke with some birds in the nearby bushes. They ate the Easterlings food, Boromir least of all, and refilled their water-skins. Third One found a wineskin amongst his booty and they passed this around to drink. Boromir consumed the most and the elves the least, with Radagast being the only who consumed equal amounts of food and wine. Eventually, when their bellies were full and their heads swimming, they settled back against their bedrolls in companionable silence.
The wine numbed the burning in Boromir's raw hands and the stinging in his knees and gut, for which he was thankful. He lay with his head against the bedroll, his eyelids drooping, a soft alcoholic buzz caressing and comforting him. In the night, with the fire crackling nearby, and his companions' even breathing by his side, he felt a sudden peace. As if all the shame and dishonor his heart carried had melted away with the wine – or, rather, was it flung off during the fight? – and he was left now with only an empty head and weary limbs. He did not desire to move a single muscle, but rather wanted only to lie there, staring half-asleep in the fire, with his bandaged hands folded across his stomach.
Someone lit a pipe. The smell wafted to Boromir, shaking him out of his drowsiness and awakening pangs of old memories. He lifted his eyes and saw Radagast sitting against the rock wall, legs crossed, gaze distant. He was smoking a long, thin pipe.
"That scent is familiar to me," Boromir said, half-mumbling, half-slurring from weariness and intoxication.
"Oh?" Radagast lifted an eyebrow. "It is South Farthing pipe-weed, from a little realm to the northwest called the Shire."
"Aye, I know it."
"You have friends there?"
"I traveled with some halflings from that land. A fine, happy people. Much as tonight, we would make camp and the little ones would smoke their pipes. Aye, it was the weed of South Farthing they used… They were my friends," in the same breath, Boromir added, "but they are dead now. It is foolish to speak of them."
"Nay, Boromir, it is never foolish to speak of those we have lost."
Radagast took another drag of his pipe. Silence again.
Boromir burrowed himself into his makeshift pillow. He did not want to think of Merry and Pippin. He would not think of them. Why did they haunt him so? Why could he not simply forget them, push them back to the dark recesses of his mind, as he did with all the dead he knew? The crowded cemetery in his mind, already full with the bodies of family, friends, brothers-in-arms, officers, foot soldiers, innocents.
Nay. He could not forget Merry and Pippin. Whenever he closed his eyes, he saw their faces – now clear, now blurry, weeping and laughing and eating and talking and weeping again, crying out to him in the darkness. Or he saw his brother's face, heard Faramir's clear voice chiding him and calling for him to return to Minas Tirith, to return home. Boromir's memories crept like vines around his legs and into his torso, twisting around his heart and squeezing it shut, so that he longed only for release from this existence. Merry, Pippin, Faramir, Denethor – all asking for him, calling his name, grieving for him. Could they not simply forget him? Could they not allow him a peaceful exile?
The quiet was abruptly broken by a fair voice. It rose from the depths of Third One's throat and fell over the camp in a wave of melody, before rising up with the smoke and disappearing into the night sky.
The song was elvish, and Boromir did not know the words, nor the meaning, but the music enveloped him like a blanket. He recalled the lament for Gandalf heard in Lothlórien, how the voices had emerged from the trees themselves, echoing through the wood, at once ominous and beautiful. He had been so consumed by grief and despair in those days, that he had scarce paid attention to the music of the elves. All music was drowned out by the endless drone of the Ring's whispers.
But now the Ring was gone, too far away to be heard, and only its dark shadow still stained his heart. He could listen freely to Third One's song, melancholy and sinister and peaceful. A shudder passed through his body, and he felt the hair on his arms rise. It was unlike any mortal singing.
Third One finished and the song disappeared into the night sky, carried away by the wind.
"Were you not forbidden from uttering the elvish tongues?" Radagast asked after a pause, his eyes scanning each elf's face.
Third One looked away, abashed. "Forgive me. The desire was too great."
"Radagast, have we not earned back some honor today by fighting the forces of Mordor?" First One asked, looking pointedly at the wizard.
"Aye," Second One agreed. "Piece by piece, mayhap we can reverse our punishments?"
Radagast shrugged and did not speak. Without lifting his gaze from the fire, Boromir asked:
"What did you sing of, Third One?"
"A lament for our fallen enemy."
"Our enemy?"
"They were Men, like you, Boromir. Perhaps not all deserved to die. I cannot say. And so I sing for those who were perhaps better than the rest."
Boromir did not stir. Had it been any other moment, he would have exploded with anger, accusing the elf of being blind and treacherous for even suggesting such a thing. The Wild Men deserved no pity, no mercy.
But Boromir did not say these things. He did not desire to quarrel. The wineskin, which rested against his hip, was near empty. He took it, finished the remaining dregs – a strong, heady drink of low quality – and waited for his body to sink further into its numb depths.
Second One roused him with a question.
"What now, then, from our master strategist?"
Boromir grinned.
"Let us rise before dawn and make for the eastern passes. I wish to fight a greater enemy. Today there were less than a hundred Wild Men. That is no challenge. Let us find a bigger group."
"With more wine?" Second One teased.
Boromir grunted a laugh. "Aye, with more wine. And mayhap an orc or two."
Scattered chuckles.
"Very well, but you must promise something, Boromir," First One said, grinning. "You must promise not to fall into any wells again, for you are the heaviest among us and it was truly taxing, even for three strong elves, to pull you out."
More laughter.
"Nay, I did not fall in. 'Twas your shot that pushed me."
"Pushed you? That poor Easterling would have fallen to his side, had you not leapt back and dragged him into the well with you."
"Soldiers of Gondor never leap back from their enemies. Only forwards."
"That is not a wise strategy," Second One chuckled. "Perhaps we erred in making him tactician."
Boromir raised his eyebrow in mock offense.
"I have planned many a battle in my career."
"As is expected from the son of Denethor," Radagast mused to himself.
The elves continued in their joking.
"Aye, planned them, but how many victories?"
Boromir's smile faded, and with it, the light from his pale eyes. "In truth, too few. Of late, Gondor has become more accustomed to defeat than victory."
The amusement dissolved and the group fell into a somber silence. A gentle breeze passed, leaving a chill. The fire crackled. The night insects buzzed. The owl – Radagast's friend – hooted. Beyond the edge of the boulder, the night sky could be seen and a million stars glowed in silent observation. Boromir watched them. The stars. Each with a story and a song. He could hear Faramir's voice, pointing out the brighter ones, explaining who they represented or where they came from. But he did not want to think of Faramir.
"Once we have finished with the Easterlings," Boromir said. "I wish to continue eastward, beyond the borders of the Known Lands. You three have passed into those strange places, as you often speak of them, and I would like now to know what lies there."
The elves looked at each other, deciding who should speak first, until First One replied: "Very well. We shall tell you of the paths beyond Rhûn, for it is good that you have fair warning. It is a difficult journey, long and hard. The stars which you depend on for guidance shift and change positions upon reaching the Sea of Rhûn. And they will be of little help once past it.
"The Wild Men you know of, these Easterlings, mostly inhabit the forests and mountains just beyond Rhûn. It is a half-year's journey through these villainous lands, and I would counsel wariness, for the Wild Men, as you know, are a belligerent people, ready to rob you and beat you if they see you are alone. Do not travel along the roads, but rather remain in cover of wood. Take heed of night-sounds.
"If you continue eastward, you will notice the villages and homes becoming more sparse, and the earth growing bare and brown. After a half-year of Wild Men and dangerous roads, all life will fall away upon reaching the Great Desert. The Desert is called by many names, though in the tongue of those closest to it, it is called Ceosolstów. You will see but endless sand, rising high and low in dunes. Here, the sun burns hot and close. Ne'er a cloud passes, ne'er does it rain. None live in the desert, for no creature survives the infernal heat and lack of water. You will walk under this unnatural sun, stumbling and thirsty, for what will seem like a lifetime.
"If the Valar bless you and you survive Ceosolstów, which is unlikely, you will be rewarded with the lands of Rinanholt. Here trees as tall as the White Tower of Gondor grow, and there are beasts of such might and beauty that you would tremble to look upon them. All is green and large, and the rains would drown the valleys of our western lands. Here, the Rinan trees grow so large, that a Man may never see the tops of them. They are as wide as five or six of your trees, with leaves the size of a full-grown dwarf. The land is oft flooded, and therefore you must travel by the branches."
"By the branches?" Boromir snorted. "I am no squirrel. I know not how to travel by limbs and leaves."
"You will learn, out of necessity. And fear not, for the Rinan trees grow so thick, that even their flimsiest limbs could sustain a heavy Man like yourself."
Some laughter. Boromir smiled.
"Nay, the rains are heavy there, and the forest floor is at times but a lake, where fish and sea-snakes mingle with the roots of trees and pick off the low nests of foolish birds. You will needs make camp in the top branches, or in the holes of the trunk, where it is damp, and the rain does not batter down through the leaves. There is fruit to live on, and your squirrel colleagues, if you are lucky, but they are crafty creatures. Continue eastward, if you wish, or, by this time, you may also move north or southward.
"Once out of Rinanholt, you will see the first of your kind. They are a foreign race of Men, and they will look strange to your eyes. Some dark as night's deepest black, while others with eyes of orange and red and yellow. Yet, fear them not, for the Strange Men share your ancestors, and mayhap even your shame. The lands east of Ceosolstów and further east of Rinanholt are lands of exile, where Men from Gondor, Arnor, Harad, Angmar, all the realms, fled from past shames. These are the sons and daughters of cowards, criminals, or simply fools who lost themselves and traveled too far. But do not judge them in haste, for they have become a strong people, kind and just. They will help you, and lead you perhaps further east, if you so desire. But you risk walking off the very face of Arda, if you stray so far.
"And know also this: once going East, you may never return, for by some chance of magic, the desert stretches further for those who travel west, swallowing up even the doughtiest of Men."
"Yet you three claim to have traveled so far?" Boromir asked.
"I remind you that we are not Men," First One smiled. "An elf can brave an endless desert. He needs little to drink and less to eat."
Boromir grunted, feeling too weary to form a complete reply.
The group of four then fell again into silence. It was decided that Third One should take the first watch, while the others slept. They stifled the fire, lessening it to a slow burn, and each person wandered into his own thoughts.
Boromir did not shift in his position. His hands were curved into a bandaged curl, and he found that moving them was painful. His knees throbbed dully. He sighed inwardly, thinking of tomorrow morning's stiffness, and drifted away into darkness.
…It is said the wine of the Wild Men breeds strange dreams. Dreams of prophecy and symbol, dreams where the lost and forgotten speak from afar, and time blurs.
Hear the halflings,
They cry, they cry, crying out, wails in the night.
Black red burning Eye on fire
searing holes into a Man's heart
Man's mind
Man's tissue-thin spirit.
Losing - falling – collapsing onto burning knees,
gummy with blood,
arrows forcing him down, to the ground,
pushing his face against the mud,
breathe in the mud, breathe in the blood on the ground.
Limp arms pushing up, shaking for air,
(with the desire only to gasp open)
wind whistles foul,
more arrows like long thin jagged poison black nails
pinning him to the tree, to the ground, to the river.
"Where to, brother? Where does thy tread take thee?"
"Away from shame, brother, away from evil
away from the Eye, from Mordor, from the Fellowship,
brother, away from the RING.
To the East, to the desert, to the trees,
up, up, into the trees with leaves as big as Gimli."
(Gimli grunts: "Mayhap a dwarf can outlast a Man!")
Choking in the desert, a sea of sand,
drifting through the still air is a clear voice:
"What are these blows, brother? Where is thy horn?
Speak, I see thee in my dreams.
Dead, brother, dead?"
"Nay, Faramir, living still,
but it is a half-life to end too late,
brother, do not wait for me,
wait only for peace, and when all this is done,
return to the White City with the White Tree and White Tower
and, there, beneath the White Clouds
crown our King Aragorn King.
I to the desert, brother, I to the trees,
I to Men of yellow eyes and black faces,
I to exile."
"Silence, brother, let the foresight of mine,
the legendary foresight of Faramir,
show you something:"
Boromir groaned, stirred. He shifted his position, fell again asleep. The elf who stood watch in that moment smiled, and wondered if the Man ever slept peacefully.
"See this, exile-brother,
heed this, if you are wise:
you see fire,
you see stone,
in the Black Tower of Barad-dûr you will dwell.
Frodo shall pass beneath you,
bearing the Ring to Doom,
and good life for all will spit from a volcano,
but not for the three elf-wanderers.
Two First Born shall pass into the remote lands of death,
one's pass you will see, the second's you will hear
again and again, forever
both you will mourn 'til you yourself die – "
"What chills! What burns!
Faramir, stop!
Do not foresee this!"
" - Easy, brother, let me finish:
For we all have destinies, brother, all of us, everyone
our stories written long before our birth
and we must but choose it, choose to fulfill fate
now or later, but it will be done inevitably
as originally planned
(keep this in mind with your adraefan)
it is all there, our short lives
with their loves, their wars, their quotidian joy
little vignettes or Grand Epics
all mapped out by Eru the Inconceivable
and set forth, accomplished with some helpful Valar device
impossible to avoid, ecstasy to realize.
And I see now your fate, brother, let me continue:
…months of sorrow with Barad-dûr e'er echoing,
and you drown out the fear in liquid haze,
in goblets and tankards and sacks and bottles
with mind blurred, honor forgotten, friends falling away.
But not all is black,
the road curves with a new twist,
not all Boromir has faded, some yet returns,
and I Steward, Aragorn King, Minas Tirith restored,
what we have dreamed of,
Minas Tirith restored,
brother, there is a happy end
to all this, a final joy:
(say it)
Minas Tirith restored,
the flowers in bloom,
a final joy.
Awake, now, brother, the light in the East rises,
over your desert and Gimli-trees,
it comes now to you,
brother, awake."
Boromir awoke with a snort. He squinted in the sun's glare, which rose in the east and sent sprawling rays of light into their campsite. By the edge of the camp, near the largest boulder, Boromir saw the silhouette of a seated elf. The silhouette turned.
"How punctual, the sun has risen in this very instant. Did you sleep well?"

If it was the comics it would be a hand for an eye. But they obviously are not including that in the show.
AMC has released a new poster for the remainder of the third season of The Walking Dead. "The artwork features Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and The Governor (David Morrissey) staring straight ahead with the tagline, 'An Eye for an Eye,' referring to the injury the latter suffered at the hands of Michonne in the Midseason Finale". -AMC
The Walking Dead returns February 10th, 2013 only on AMC.
If it was the comics it would be a hand for an eye. But they obviously are not including that in the show.
One handless guy is enough
Aww, the Governor is crying. Always thought he was a wuss. :)
Can't wait to get this blown up and signed in a month by the cast =)
xjokersxWildx.... go to their site for a bigger version.
What can he possibly take from Rick outside of his son? The guy has already lost everything. Another member, or members of the group? No biggie. I think we see that coming. They aren't going to go the handless route. So what? BTW, I'm more interested to see who survives the Meryle vs. Daryl showdown. Two show favorites have to fight to the death.
Carl is losing his eye....
Worth a share on FB.
@TheRiffs....they don't follow the comic exactly.

Serpentine with silver Jewel Illusions ring shows silver hugging the amazing genuine gemstone. The serpentine in this ring is green with black matrix and coordinates with the other serpentine pieces in the Jewel Illusions collection. Serpentine is said by mystics to help with emotional cleansing, psychic powers and attract love and money. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.
