The Stupid Drink
Syracuse University's The Stupid Drink campaign, the 2009 winner of the National Student Advertising Competition, will be implemented on campus during this academic year.
This student-led effort seeks to reduce binge drinking by getting people talking about what it truly means to pass the line from "drinking" to "drinking too much", in order to reduce premature deaths, hospital visits and a long list of other unnecessary consequences that occur on college campuses.
Additional information on this project will be posted as it becomes available.

A closed head injury is trauma to the head that causes the skull and brain to knock or shake. Internal damage can occur to the:
- Skull
- Brain
- Blood vessels
- Layers between the skull and scalp
This damage can cause swelling or pressure on the brain. The injury can be throughout the brain and skull or it may confined to 1 area.
Often times, the head injury is minor. However, it can serious and life threatening. It requires care from a doctor.
Closed head injuries are caused by trauma to the head. This is often due to:
- Accidents (such as automobile, work-related, sports-related)
- Falls
- Abuse
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of a closed head injury include:
- Advanced age—increased risk of falls
- Younger age— increased risk of motor vehicle accidents
- High-impact sports, such as boxing, basketball, baseball, or football
- Physical abuse, such as shaken baby syndrome
- Previous head injury or concussion
- Alcohol or drug abuse
Symptoms can appear right away, or the days and weeks following the injury.
Concussion symptoms include:
- Confusion, loss of memory about the accident
- Low-grade headache or neck pain
- Nausea
- Having trouble remembering, paying attention, organizing, making decisions
- Slowness in thinking, acting, speaking, or reading
- Feeling fatigued or tired
- Change in sleeping pattern, such as sleeping longer or having trouble sleeping
- Loss of balance or lightheadedness
- Increased sensitivity to sounds, light, or distractions
- Blurred vision or eyes that tire easily
- Loss of sense of taste or smell
- Ringing in the ears
- Feeling sad, anxious, or listless, lacking motivation
- Becoming easily irritated or angry for little or no reason
Symptoms of a skull fracture or focal brain injury:
- Leaking cerebrospinal fluid
- Blood in the ears
- Weakness or numbness of the limbs
- Pain
- Swelling, tenderness at injury site
- Headache
- Hearing loss
- Progressive worsening of cognition or level of alertness
Be sure you know which symptoms your doctor needs to know about right away. If you have been evaluated for a closed head injury and your symptoms are getting worse, get medical help right away.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a neurologist for special testing.
Tests may include:
- Blood tests
- Neurological examination
- Neuropsychological tests
- Electroencephalogram (EEG)—to evaluate electrical activity in the brain
Imaging tests evaluate the brain and other structures:
Imaging tests are not routinely done in children with minor head injuries. Your child may be observed to determine if imaging tests are needed.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment will depend on:
- Your symptoms
- Location and severity of the injury
Treatment options include the following:
Monitoring and Observation
For minor injury with little or no symptoms, your doctor may advise that you watch for symptoms to develop in the days and weeks that follow.
If you have a concussion, a responsible adult will need to observe you. You may also need to limit drug and alcohol use.
Neuropsychological Testing
You may need more testing. These tests assess how your brain functions. The results can help your doctor determine:
- How you are recovering
- Whether you are ready to return to high-impact activities
You may be referred to a counselor to take part in a rehabilitation program to improve functioning.
Medications can be used to:
- Reduce pain
- Reduce pressure inside the head or brain swelling
- Prevent seizures (given in some cases)
This usually involves making "burr holes" in the scalp and skull and draining the clotting blood. Sometimes a section of the skull is removed to relieve pressure. This is called a craniotomy .
To help reduce your chance of a closed head injury:
- Do not drink alcohol and drive.
- Do not take medications that may make you sleepy, especially when driving or using heavy equipment.
- Obey speed limits and other driving laws.
- In vehicles, always use seatbelts, shoulder harnesses, and child safety seats. Only use child safety seats when traveling. Do not use them outside of the vehicle.
- Learn about the air bags in your car.
Wear a helmet when:
- Riding a bike or motorcycle
- Playing a contact sport like football, soccer, or hockey
- Using skates, scooters, and skateboards
- Catching, batting, or running bases in baseball or softball
- Riding a horse
- Skiing or snowboarding
- Wear mouth guards, face guards, pads, and other safety gear while playing sports.
- Make sure your child's play surface is soft and free of rocks, holes, and debris.
Reduce falling hazards at home for children and adults, by:
- Using handrails when walking up and down stairs
- Having safety gates by stairs and safety guards by windows
- Using grab bars in the bathroom
- Placing non-slip mats in the bathroom
- Keeping walkways clear to avoid tripping
- Making sure rooms and hallways are well-lit
- Keep firearms and bullets locked safely away.

Led by the National Association of State Judicial Educators, a national panel of experts in criminal justice examined the judiciary's critical role in reducing hardcore drunk driving and strategies to increase effectiveness in the adjudication of these cases.
The award winning publication, Hardcore Drunk Driving Judicial Guide, combines the panel members' ideas and experiences with research in the field of hardcore drunk driving.
This judicial reference resource provides information on the following areas:
- scope of the problem of hardcore drunk driving
- role of the judiciary system in sentencing hardcore drunk drivers
- challenges and obstacles to effective sentencing of hardcore drunk drivers
- effective sanctions, strategies, and programs to reduce hardcore drunk driving
Hardcore Drunk Drivers:
- Drive with a high blood alcohol concentration (.15 or above)
- Do so repeatedly, as demonstrated by having more than one impaired driving arrest
- Are highly resistant to changing their behavior despite previous sanctions, treatment, and/or education
- Are 380 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than a non-drinking driver

I think this has been posted before but I wanted something specific and I also had some questions to add.
I was thinking about this because I was looking an option of buying two cards, one from ATI and one from Nvidia.
However, I only have one computer to test it on unless I can squeeze my way in and use a relative's computer.
It would be easiest on my own new build, though. So, there would be some needed configuration changes. It is not worth my while or can this be done without a lot of trouble?
I read that it's simple to uninstall drivers or purge drivers so that you can switch from Nvidia to ATI or vice versa.
Is the process relatively the same of ATI <---> Nvidia? In other words, Nvidia to ATI is harder/the same as ATI to Nvidia?
It would probably be done just once unless was something new to test. Also, if I went for an ATI card and was dissatisfied, I might to do the switch.
My current card is old, X300SE and I'm not sure it'll do what I want. I read of some problems with it in Google Earth and I already have a laptop with an ATI card that gave problems.
I have not invested much in video cards ever and I read of some gamers having three or four cards at one time! It's just an idea and first, I would like to know if switching drivers is a big deal or not. It seems one has to a lot to just install ATI (and Nvidia drivers) so is purging/removing the drivers much easier? Is there a process? Is it well-documented?
Sorry, if this is a boring topic but since Nvidia does a lot of messing up code when it's installed, does Xorg get 'repaired' when you purge it? I suppose it does. Same question with ATI (since some installs eventually use scripts/PPA or compiling etc....)
Anyway, thanks for any answers.
It might be easier to have three partitions, one containing your data and the others each containing a separate distro install with the appropriate drivers.
That is also handy for flipping between open source and proprietary drivers for the same HW, or for trying new distro versions.
When you use ubuntu lucid+ switching can be done on the fly, otherwise you have to uninstall. When you only switch from oss driver to binary no uninstall is needed. I would NEVER run nvidia installers on u lucid+, that will break the system, same applies to ati installers.
Do yourself a favor and use radeon driver for AMD hardware and nouveau driver for nvidia hardware. With this combination, switching the driver is as simple as following this procedure;
1) power off and unplug,
2) yank out amd/nvidia card,
3) press in nvidia/amd card,
4) power on and wait to boot.
And that's it... no weird/special procedures.
Unless you have something a little weirder in mind, like having both cards installed in the machine at the same time. I *believe* that you should be able to use kernel arguments and/or xorg.conf to select which device to activate.... or might it be able to figure that out automatically given which connector it finds connected?
I read about claims of it not being too hard on here when I asked practically the same question but it was more or less how to uninstall the drivers. I hope you're not going to ask me to reproduce that thread section.
Thanks for going into detail. I was just curious on what it entails.
What I was particularly wondering about is when the install has a lot of 'additional' modifications or configurations. For e.g., patches or extra scripts in which the install went a bit further beyond the 'How-to' install' one might read on the Nvidia page and ATI/AMD instructional page respectively. I believe there are some methods for uninstalling the drivers, purging everything 'nvidia/ati' that is being utilized (that the user doesn't want used).
Ubuntu seems to try to have more 'automatic' options whereas other distros leave it up to the user. That could be good in some ways as one is not dependent on the quality of the 'installer/uninstaler.' Also, if one distro hops, it might be good experience to know the process for the uninstall so some advantages there for knowing the process?
I don't know about you but I do like to have 2D and 3D and working in a usable fashion. If both open source drivers do this fine, okay, but I'm not sure.
My other option is to just have a basic install going and try this experiment early on so it won't be such a chore to re-install the entire OS if things get buggy. I'm not worried about losing data or borking it with my data being risked because I'll have it on a separate drive.
Anyway, I find this an interesting topic. I know it's way more convenient to have separate computers for these tests but for a little while, I probably won't have that option unless I can borrow/share the other computer.
three things to keep in mind:
- different kernel modules
- different openGL libraries
- different xorg.conf
both drivers will overwrite the openGL libraries, making a switch difficult. I also don't think it's possible to have both kernel modules loaded at the same time; the ensuing battle may explode your whole kernel.
gentoo has a cool system in place for the openGL libraries. It'll install each driver's openGL libs to a separate location and symlink the one you need. You can then use
to switch.Code:eselect opengl set nvidia eselect opengl set ati
Of course you need two different xorg.conf and a way to pass the correct one to X. Symlink-trickery works, butmay be easier.Code:Xorg -config xorg_ati.conf
You may need to modify the init-scripts to only load the correct kernel modules. If you're lucky, Xorg load the correct module automatically (haven't tested that in a while).
You could even write a script to shutdown X, unload the modules, run eselect, load the other ones and restart X with the other config to switch GPUs without rebooting (though I cannot guarantee if that'll work).
If you plan on switching the hardware, simply use $(lspci | grep ...) to detect what's plugged in. Otherwise, add a second runlevel and another grub-entry like
Code:kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdxx softlevel=default_ati
If you don't want to use gentoo, you could write your own eselect-like scripts to add the symlinks. Install driver, move openGL-libs somewhere safe, install the other driver, move them somewhere else, apply symlinks as needed. Be careful when upgrading drivers. Also, your init-system may or may not understand the softlevel= kernel line, but most init systems should have some parameter with the desired effect.
Or, if all that is way to complicated: do as bridgman said, install the OS twice on separate partitions and switch via grub.
When you would use oss drivers fine, but nvidia has its own libs, ati has got a bit less, but mesa libs are always replaced. U lucid+ handles that with different subdirs and update-alternative -config gl_conf switching (you need ldconfig, update-initramfs -u and xchanged xorg.conf too). On a pure system or say Debian you have to uninstall the one part of the drivers and install the new ones. The Genotoo way must be similar to U technically but i never looked into it.

When Susan Tate's seventeen-year-old daughter, Lily, announces she is pregnant, Susan is stunned. A single mother, she has struggled to do everything right. She sees the pregnancy as an inconceivable tragedy both for Lily and herself. Then comes word of two more pregnancies among other high school juniors who happen to be Lily's best friends. The town turns to talk of a pact. As fingers start pointing, the emotional ties between mothers and daughters are stretched to breaking in an emotionally wrenching story of love and forgiveness.

1. What do the novel's opening pages tell you about Susan's relationship with her daughter? What advantages and disadvantages did Susan experience as a single parent? Would you have married Rick at age eighteen if you had been in her situation?
2. How does Susan's life compare to the lives of the other moms in the book: Kate, Sunny, and Pam? What do their daughters (Lily, Mary Kate, Jess, and Abby) have in common? Are there any similarities between the way the mothers interact and the girls' circle of friendship?
3. How did you react when Abby revealed why she had wanted to form a motherhood pact with her friends? What longings were they each hoping to satisfy by becoming pregnant? Were they seeking unconditional love, or rebellion against their parents, or something else altogether? How did their motivations change throughout the novel?
4. Though Not My Daughter is entirely a work of fiction, in the summer of 2008 media coverage erupted over a group of teenage girls in Gloucester, Massachusetts, who were alleged to have made a pact to become pregnant and raise their babies together. What does this say about the way our idea of motherhood has changed over generations? Do pregnancy and parenting mean something different to modern women, compared to our grandmothers' generation?
5. Jess's extended family is full of interesting contradictions. How was she shaped by Samson and Delilah, and by the ongoing friction between them and Sunny? Is Sunny right to think of Martha and Hank as "Normal with a capital N"? How does Jess define "normal," based on her family life?
6. The girls have unrealistic ideas about how much it costs to raise a child. Already living on a tight budget, Will and Kate are especially upset by the financial implications of Mary Kate's news. How does money affect parenting? Who are the best parents in the novel?
7. How did Rick and Susan's relationship change over time? Is Lily the only reason they stayed connected, or were there other constants that gave them an emotional attachment into adulthood?
8. How would you have responded to Lily if she had been your daughter? Would you have wanted her to have the baby? If so, would you have wanted her to give up the child for adoption? Would you offer to raise your children's children?
9. How is Lily transformed by the unsettling news of her fetus's CDH? Was she prepared for the ultimate parenting job of managing a crisis and responding to events that are beyond her control?
10. Why does Lily resist Robbie? Is there a difference between girls' and boys' responsibilities when a teen pregnancy occurs? Should fully adult dads have more rights than teenage ones?
11. PC Wool represents a dream fulfilled for Susan. What do the colors, the creativity, and the camaraderie mean to her? If Perry & Cass is a metaphor for family, what kind of family is it? How was Abby affected by her parents' wealth, and the Perry legacy?
12. Discuss the relationship between Susan and her brother, Jackson. Why do he and Ellen have so much animosity toward her? How does Lily feel about family after she attends her grandfather's funeral? How does Susan's understanding of her mother change with the revelation that Big Rick and Ellen were once very close?
13. How did you respond to George Abbott's editorial in the Zaganack Gazette? Was Susan in any way responsible for Lily's pregnancy? Who is responsible for preventing teen pregnancy: schools? parents? the media? someone else? On some level, was Lily trying to embarrass her mother by letting history repeat itself?
14. Discuss the novel's title and the way it captures some parents' belief that their children are immune from peer pressure. How much do you trust your children? How much did your parents trust you?
15. How did the epilogue compare to the ending you had predicted? What did all children in the novel (adults and infants alike) teach their mothers?
16. What truths about the gifts of motherhood are illustrated in Not My Daughter, and in other novels by Barbara Delinsky? What is special about the way she portrays the bonds between parents and their children?

Celeborn and Galadriel

Battle of the Golden Wood, The: 18. A Turning Point
"Tell me he will live," said Haldir, pitiably, while the other brother, Rumil, sat at Orophin's shoulder and silently bathed the burning brow. "Tell me he will not die."
She sighed, moved at last by the archer's grief, whose arrogance had long displeased her. "Were we in Lorien at rest, and the sun shone, he could yet recover," she said, as gently as she could, "But in this murk all our spirits sicken. Despair comes upon our strongest, and the eye of the mind is fixed on death as its only comfort."
This part of her calling as a healer she hated. It was, perhaps, why she had been forced to grow so hard. Sometimes one had to be weapon-sharp to tell the truth. "Your brother yearns for light and peace," she said. "But unless this war is won soon, he will find it only in Valinor."
Shadow slid over Oswy as the sky became a drab roof over his head. It seemed the fume muffled sound, for all noise fell heavy on his ear. The trees leaned over him, whispering and, though he was weary to the point of tears, he could not sleep. The ring of Khamul was gnawing on his heart and he could not turn his thoughts elsewhere.
He tossed, unwound the blanket that swaddled him too tight, sat up, and folded his arms about himself, rocking. He did not want the ring. Truly he did not. He had no desire to become some foul, inhuman terror, whose presence brought all good creatures nothing but torment. He did not want it.
Why then could he not stop the craving? Why had his whole soul focussed with blinding desire on a glimpse of red and gold he knew he had not been meant to see? Celeborn had buried the ring, in a place where no man of honour would go looking for it, and already the roots of the young mallorn must wind through the gold, holding the treasure down. Ere long that tree would be so mighty that even if he were to desire the ring - which he did not - it could not be dug from the sheltering earth, or pried from the grasp of treeroots and dead elvish hands.
And that was good, was it not?
He sighed and, getting up, he buckled his father's sword about his waist. Perhaps if he walked a little his body's weariness would solve this debate for him?
Leofwyn slept, seizing this moment of respite in the war, while the orcs were leaderless and demoralized by the fall of the wraiths. Cyn, with the baby in the crook of one arm, and Gytha in the other, was chanting softly the tale of Baldor son of Brego, as though one fear would cancel out another. He looked up as Oswy rose, and his gaze was concerned. But he said nothing, only nodding, accepting Oswy's actions as one man to another, as a liegeman to his lord. It was a gesture of respect that Oswy might have treasured, had his mind not been elsewhere.
For a while he strolled aimlessly through a tense, subdued Lorien. Naught could stop these people singing, but now the falling patter of notes was a rain of lamentation, exquisite, but desolate. And as Oswy walked, his feet led him without conscious thought towards Calandil's grave. He knew he was headed there from the moment he stood up, yet still it was a surprise. Had he not meant to walk anywhere else?
The mallorn sapling rustled gently. Its trunk was a stripe of silver-grey against the gloom, and the blooms tossed fallow-gold under darkness. There was no other marker and the barrow was only a shallow swell of grass, already spangled with niphredil and daisies. Oswy told himself he was here to do his friend honour. He was here to remember a merry, generous life, even though it be of other kind than his.
Kneeling, he placed his hand on the ground, and at once the power of the wraith's ring fastened upon him like a leech. He could feel the burn of it, the brightness - the glory - even through the living barriers of turf and tree. All else fell away. He had searched, and he had found. Or he had been found. Here was what he had been looking for. Here lay his heart, buried alive in an elvish mound. At the thought he could almost feel it - earth in his mouth, dirt pressing on his eyes, the tree burrowing, worming, pressing at him, its roots holding him down, tearing him apart. He struggled, mindless with the need to escape. Darkness engulfed him. He strained for life, for light, for Lorien, and at last threw himself back, gasping. His heart raced and thundered in his ears. To breathe was a shock - he was not, after all, entombed. But if that was so, whence came this smell of soil?
Shaking, he unclenched his fists and gazed as a murderer might gaze on the blood. His palms were black with earth, his nails broken and fingertips bleeding. Horror came on him. I will not look. I will not. But still his eyes lifted reluctantly to see the scar in the sweet grass, the spilled dark soil where he had scrabbled with his bare hands, where he had begun to dig into the grave like a wild beast digging for carrion.
He reeled back. "NO!" Tomb robber. Desecrator of the Dead! "No..." He did not want this. He did not! Staggering a few steps away he collided with another tree, slid to its base, curled like a child around the misery of bad dreams. For surely this could not be other than a dream. In waking life he would not try to unearth his friend's corpse, just for a pretty trinket. "I would not."
Resting his brow against the mallorn's smooth bark he squeezed his eyes shut, rubbed his dirtied hands across the grass, but could not make them feel clean. "Bema! Help me! Help me!"
But even as he called upon the gods a thread of his thought was saying that since he was already so dishonoured it could not make matters worse to dig a little deeper and take the prize he still desired.
The talan swayed beneath Galadriel's feet. She closed her eyes and imagined it as the deck of a ship, taking her home. In memory she saw the green isle of Tol Eressea, a flight of swans above the rise and glitter of spray, vessels riding on the radiant waves like living jewels; her mother's kinsmen laughing at the tillers and the spread white sails.
A memory that had begun as comfort became another torment. Did they live again, those mariners of the Teleri, slain by her cousins? Perhaps, after so many years, they had all come forth from Mandos, made new. But the stolen ships - those flying shapes of freedom that had seemed to skim as bright as gulls over the waves - they were forever lost. Burnt as the Lamps of the Valar, dead as the Trees. What ship would now bear her back, whose family had wantonly destroyed such wonder?
Leaving the past, she opened her eyes and surveyed the fruits of her decision to leave Valinor: A battlefield as deep in orcs as the sea was deep in water; the halting crawl from Mirkwood's borders of the latest engine of despair; her husband's back, turned to her, braced and tense with pain. Of all her deeds of pride in a long life she regretted most the blight she had brought upon him. How had she dared come and demand comfort from him on the day of his friend's burial? Did she not have her mirror, and Nenya's power to lean on, where he had only his own native toughness? It should have been she, upholding him.
Drawn by an ache of love, she circled him, seeing his frown, the emptiness of the gaze fixed on Dol Guldur. Although she knew she should wish they had never met, that she had not brought the Doom of Mandos onto a blameless life, she was not yet selfless enough. Still this marriage was not an act she would undo, even if she could.
Having run out of words to reassure, or to goad, she came close to his side. He did not stir. Not knowing what else to do, she put her arms around him and held him fast. And at the touch he took in one great breath - an Oh! of unbearable loss - and rested his head on her shoulder.
"I know," she said without wondering what she meant, "I know." What else was there to say? Neither he, nor she, nor Lorien could endure much more. Caras Galadhon would be burnt, and the folk driven out to live among poisoned streams. Thirst and starvation would overwhelm all. The Golden Wood would remain impenetrable - for against her wards even Sauron could not come - but it would be the shut and silent inviolability of a tomb. A dead land, full of horrors. Even as she had said. She tightened her arms, glad he was here with her at the last, conscious of the rise and fall of his breathing, his slenderness and strength; the chill of his arm that lay about her waist.
"Forgive me?" she asked, and at this moment that mattered more to her than life and death, "It is my curse that has brought us to this. We should never have come here, never agreed to rule. It is my doing that these folk will die, and I cannot ask for their pardon. But I ask for yours."
At that, he raised his head, looking confused, bewildered, as though he had forgotten something important and now sought for it. Pulling away a little he turned and looked south. The orc army was thinner there, all the forces concentrated about Caras Galadhon and the springs of the rivers.
Noticing he had not answered her, her spirit darkened within her. Even he at the last cannot excuse me. Bereft, she began to move away. But he stirred from thought then, pulled her back, encircling her with the warmth of his left arm. Soothed a little, she leaned into his side, and the posture reminded her of distant Eregion. Even so they had stood before their thrones in Ost-in-Edhil, facing down the rebellion. Close enough to take comfort, far enough apart that they could each defend the other. Celeborn had had Celebrimbor's sword point poised at his heart, she remembered, and she... she had faced Annatar's smug, gloating smile.
"Justly you may claim to have begun the regrowth of the Golden Wood," said Celeborn, his voice growing in resolution as he spoke; feeling his way toward hope, "So perhaps Lorien may fall into ruin. But you cannot claim to have begun any of its people. They - against the Doom of Mandos or any other Vala - they may still be saved. Did we not bring the folk out of Eregion to safety here and in Imladris? We will do it again."
"We had a refuge prepared then," she said, "Where is there to flee now?"
He pointed with his chin, and she saw, but a little beyond the Southern borders, the windswept grass of the plains of Rohan, and, dark almost as the Mirkwood, tangled, brooding in its anger, the dim and mighty forest of Fangorn.
"It is perilous."
"Less so, I deem, than these armies. Even now those trees preserve some fondness for the Laegrim who woke them, and we have many of that kindred here. I do not believe Fangorn would turn us away. Are we not old friends? And will not we and the Onodrim be twice as strong together?"
The wind blew from the South then, and their lost son's voice called out to them upon the moving air. As always, this honour the world had given Amroth - this salt in the wounds of grief - made Celeborn angry. His jaw tightened. He took hold of his streaming hair and tried to knot it behind him, his right hand clumsy, readying himself to begin one more desperate task. There was a moment in which Galadriel resented his sheer resilience, his stubbornness. In defeat they had at least shared some peace together. But then - from her pride, and for his sake - she found the will to carry on. She took the clip from one of her braids, put her arms about his neck and fastened back the long fall of silver from his face.
"And when Sauron comes to Fangorn?" she said, her tone deliberately light, challenging this new resolve, "Is this not but a desperate attempt at borrowing time?"
Laughter was still beyond him, but he did at least smile, "Has not our whole life together been lived on borrowed time? Yet it has been a long one. Let us have as many more years as we can grasp."
He strode to the edge of the flet, and at that moment there came a silence. The wind ceased, the tree stilled beneath them. Arda held its breath. Even the orcs faltered and closed their howling mouths, looking up.
Instinctively - the ring had become so much a part of herself in the last Age - Galadriel reached out to Nenya, needing its cool brilliance, its reassurance. She followed the Elven-Ring's power from one end of Lorien to the other, touching the injured, giving such strength as she could. Her mind beheld hawks, floating motionless on the sky, dragonflies, as glossy-black as galvorn, held still above the silver pools, suspended. The small words of growing grass and sap were silent, tense. Waiting.
Then from the Ring of Adamant there came a sudden terror like a shriek in her ears. Sauron's terror. She felt his denial, his panic - a desperate reaching out of his will. It scrabbled through the metal, almost overwhelmed her. "No!" she cried, "You shall not have me!" But instead of the Black Hand - instead of the Eye burning in her mind - the band about her finger grew suddenly incandescent as the sun. Her protest became a scream. Pain lanced from her hand into her arm and shoulder, tearing, devouring. But it was as nothing to the agony in her fea as her spirit was ripped in pieces and cast into a pit of flames.
Someone was tugging at her hand. Celeborn - trying to take Nenya from her. She struck him hard, clenched her fist around the torture. The strands of her power were growing weaker, unravelling like a tapestry slashed. Time escaped her grasp, drew away like a wave of the sea and turned, gathering power, gathering the centuries it had been denied, gathering history and bloodshed, taint and the swift mortality of Men. It built, rushed towards her, curved and broke over Lorien. The elder days were washed away and Lorien stood amid the poverty and the drabness of the Third Age, undefended.
As though she had opened her wrists and the blood ran out to be washed away - so she felt, aching and numb. Power, colour, delight, meaning, all seeped slowly into grey. Like dying, but without its hope. Dollen i Riw, dannen i lass. Her eyes were closed and she wished for the Void, but it would not come.
At last a mere discomfort - a crick in her neck - recalled her to herself. A self so diminished she could hardly recognize it. Was this all that was left of her? Surely she had been greater once, before time and tides and the surging strength of Celebrimbor's gift had worn down the granite of her soul. In this world of Men was she now so little? So worthless?
Some pride yet remained. She was Lady of Lorien, a Queen in all but name, with a husband who loved her, and, even now, work to do.
Opening her eyes, Galadriel found herself in Celeborn's arms. But it was no tender awakening. His left hand was knotted in her hair, drawing her head back against him, his right held a sharp, curved knife, with gentle, deliberate pressure against the great vein in her neck.
Should she struggle it would doom her. She reached out, found his mind closed to her. Walled and guarded. She might, perhaps, break through that barrier in time, but not before he could slash her throat to the bone. The beat of his heart trembled with fear against her, but his hands were steady. "What are you?" he said. And if there was terror in his voice there was also no lack of determination.
"I am Galadriel."
"Prove it."
Moving only her hands, she felt for Nenya's sleek band, the great stone like a fallen star. Humiliated, she took hold of it, pulled it off - and it felt as though she gouged out her eyes. As she dropped it onto the pale wood of the talan it rolled, sparkling as a trinket; all gold and brilliance and emptiness. Drained. Useless.
She felt his gasp through her back, pressed against him. Then suddenly he let her go, reached down for Nenya's tear-like sheen, picked it up, watching her. She neither moved nor cared, except dully, as though the lack of care itself was a pain.
Standing, with the glimmer of it in his palm, he sheathed the knife at last. The look of disbelief, and then utter wonder, was very like the look he had worn in fair Menegroth when first he gazed on her.
A time passed in stillness, and then, with some satisfaction, Celeborn walked to the edge of the flet and dropped the flickering jewel through fathoms of air onto the forest floor. "I thought Sauron had regained the One," he said, gently, "I thought to spare you an existence as his thrall."
"I know." Galadriel clasped her hands together, missing Nenya's comforting weight. It seemed even the beat of her heart had slowed, even her blood retained no vigour. All desire fled, except for the faint wish that he would go away and leave her alone. "But instead, this is the day we have long looked for. This is the day of our triumph. Against all wisdom Frodo has succeeded. The Ring has gone into the fire, and both it and Sauron are no more."
Celeborn's wonder passed into a happiness that left his face looking youthful, excited. "You are free of it?!" His eyes were wide and the smile that began tentatively grew until it was ferocious, radiant. "It is over?". Exuberant, he rushed to her, took her elbows and lifted her, spinning her around. "It is over!"
Her smile in return was a forced thing, an act of costly generosity. "Not quite," she said, "We have still an army at our gates, and the wards have just fallen."
Taking her face between his hands - the right already warming now Sauron's works were undone - he kissed her, gladly. "I will deal with that," and strode, buoyant with hope, down the great main stair. She could hear him calling orders, and the stir raised among warriors and healers alike by his voice, and she supposed she should be pleased. Instead there was nothing left to her. Nothing, but for a swell of bitter hatred for her husband.
It was not merely the knife at her throat that made her devotion fail - they had both agreed on that, long ago, and she had counted on his strength to do it, as on a rope in the mountains. It was unflattering that he found it so easy, true, but she could not resent something she had begged him to do. No, it was this: Nenya had failed. She was left alone, helpless, powerless, in a dying land, under a mortal sun. She had now lost everything it was possible to lose, and she could not quite forgive him his joy.
'Dollen i Riw, dannen i lass' = Winter is come, the leaf is fallen.

Guinness, it's not just for pint glasses anymore!
Saturday, March 16, 2013
On a normal day, thirsty revelers easily drain two kegs of Guinness at Boston's Black Rose tavern. Come St. Patrick's Day — an official holiday in Bean Town — and they'll plow thorough 55 kegs.
Hartley's idea of the perfect St. Patrick's Day starts with Guinness-marinated Irish bacon, moves onto crepes with Guinness-poached mushrooms for lunch, and ends with a dinner of Irish "beef cobbler," that is, Guinness-braised beef served with scones.
Pastry chef Alice Medrich would add dessert. Medrich has laced Guinness through chocolate cupcakes, reduced it to a syrupy essence, concocted creamy, egg-yolk-based ice cream from it and made Guinness granita to scrape over vanilla ice cream. She sometimes uses it for the contrast of bitter and sweet, but also exploits its notes of coffee and chocolate to layer flavors. Exhibit No. 1? Her stout float with chocolate ice cream, chocolate syrup and Kahlua.
Carbonation makes beer a natural friend of salty, fatty cheese, says Janet Fletcher, author of the upcoming "Cheese & Beer" (Andrews McMeel, April 2013). Stout, in particular, she says, offers elements of caramel that complement varieties such as Gouda, and creaminess that boosts triple-cream cheeses.
That creaminess also makes it a good match for mild blue cheeses, Fletcher says, such as Ireland's soft, supple Cashel Blue. And though she says she prefers hoppier beers with cheddar, she admires the historic pairing.
"It's been the cornerstone of many a pub lunch for centuries," she says. "There's the pleasure of knowing you're having a classic."
The possibilities are seemingly endless. In its "100 ways to cook." column, the food blog Endless Simmer showcased recipes such as onion soup with a Guinness-based broth, mashed potatoes with Guinness gravy and even Guinness lasagna.
"In recent years people are cooking a lot more creatively with Guinness than they used to," says the site's editor Brendan Spiegel, pointing to the lasagna -- which incorporated Guinness into a salsa verde topping — as the funkiest recipe. "I don't know what it wouldn't go with. It's definitely a wintery flavor, which is why it works for St. Patrick's Day. You wouldn't mix it with fruit or something you're trying to make light and summery. It's for hearty cuisine."
