STAFF FAVORITE! This Sweet Soul album is a culmination of singles and unreleased tracks recorded between 1967 -1971 on the long dufuct, Buffalo NY label, MoDo. Thanks to the help of Daptone Family memeber Dave Griffiths, we were lucky enough to be the first to compile these tracks into one of the finest Soul long players you'll ever hear. Whether it's the funky brilliance of "Your Name" or the devestating beat balladry of "I Can Be Cool" we promise that this album will satify even the most discerning SOUL fan. Trust us... You will love this album.

If you like Stephan, think you'll like Sparth (nicolas bouvier) who seems similar to me.
Some of his examples on his website are very similar in composition to me.

Guys, please don't link from non-image hosting sites. I've seen some from Goodreads, some from Amazon, and one from Jon Sullivan's own site. These topics can be a little wonky when it comes to copyright infringement, so we don't need to make it any worse by piggy-backing from other people's sites. Save it to your PC, upload it to imageshack/PhotoBucket and post it that way. Those sites exist for it.

I like this cover ALOT, it has some very important elements for selling the book:
- The image is very suggestive of what's inside - OOH A human-looking skeleton on the moon!
- Quote from Isaac Asimov comparing the book to none other than Arthur C. Clarke
- Tagline that is very inviting: A Novel about Man's Place in the Universe
I've got the omnibus which contains this book. The cover is not quite as good as the above, though effective enough with the spaceship in the corner and the all-important words that would entice Omnibus-fan PeterWilliam "THREE NOVELS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE":

Vernor Vinge's cover is nice:
October 12th, 2011, 06:23 PM #24
That Vinge looks even better in person. I'm debating whether or not to read it since it has been about a decade since I read A Fire Upon the Deep (which I liked) and I didn't care for A Deepness in the SKy. Here's some other pretty pictures:
The premise on the following book is interesting - Military SF where the special ops soldiers are wizards. An ARC (without the eye-catching art from Michael Komarck) arrived yesterday:
for John Joseph Adams's forthcoming Military SF themed anthology:

I remember this style of art being what first drew me to those beat-up paperbacks on the rotating racks in my library's science fiction section.
October 13th, 2011, 09:24 AM #28
That's a pretty cool one, Rich. As I said earlier in the topic, it's such a shame that covers like that aren't really popular any more.
I've not been cover hunting in a while, but I've found some ones I do like.
Firstly, I'm going with a Dan Dos Santos cover. Anyone who's followed my art-related posts will know I'm a big fan of Dan. This is the piece he did for the book I reviewed recently, A Beautiful Friendship, written by David Weber and published by Baen.
It sums the book up really well, I think, and I can't imagine Stephanie looking any different.
Now, my next two choices are a bit odd, even for me. I'm really not a fan of 3D art covers, because more often than not they remind me of self-pubbed books or they're just really daft. I came across an artist called Kurt Miller, whom I'm sure many will recognise as an artist for Baen. You might not know his name, but chances are you've seen his covers - In fact, Rob posted one very recently - and possibly giggled at them.
My first choice is one of his 3D covers, and it's for one of Elizabeth Moon's Serrano books, I believe it's The Serrano Succession, again published by Baen.
I think it's just fairly clear visually, and that it looks like a sci-fi book, which some books just don't.
My second choice is rather more striking. I saw it on Amazon and I knew I just had to have this book. It's called Ragnarok, and it's written by Patrick A. Vanner, published by Baen once again. You cannot miss this cover!
It's like what'd happen if you distilled a Michael Bay film into one picture.
October 13th, 2011, 09:59 AM #29
That Seranno cover got me thinking about the original covers to Robert Buettner's Orphanage books, which I thought really popped:
Compare with the redesigned covers, which are good, but something about the originals works better for me.
More here.
October 13th, 2011, 10:03 AM #30
The new version, to me, looks as if it should be a Tom Clancy book rather than a sci-fi novel.

Deerkill Day Camp, celebrating its 57th season under the Rhodes family, is a smaller ACA-accredited day camp that offers a warm and supportive environment on a beautiful 15 acre campus. Our group leaders, the counselors who are with your children throughout the day, are mature adults. Deerkill offers a superb swimming program, team sports and a dozen specialty programs in the creative and performing arts. Our campers are from 3-14 and come to camp for a minimum of 2 weeks.Transportation is by air-conditioned minibus. Hot lunches, towels, supplies, trips and a weekend pool club are included. No tipping allowed.
Our Programs
A day at Deerkill is different for every camper. Each group has a different daily schedule based on their age and level of development – there is something for everyone! Click on the link below to see your child's daily schedule and read on to learn more about each of our unique programs. Of course, a summer camp experience would not be complete without field trips and camps shows – please see our full camp schedule at the bottom of this page. Every day is a surprise at Deerkill!
Sample Schedule
A Real Camp for Little Ones (Ages 3-4)
Our littlest campers, known as our "Flippers" and "Dolphins," have a unique program at Deerkill. We give our little ones all of the love and individual attention offered by nursery schools, including licensed teachers, with the activities and excitement of a real camp.
They have their own spacious building and playground but most of the time they are off doing the same things that their big brothers and sisters do. Our Flippers and Dolphins have wonderful daily swimming instruction with a 2:1 camper to instructor ratio, free swim, ball sports, and specialty periods in nature, gymnastics, boating, arts and crafts, ceramics, ropes, theater arts and dance. A morning snack, a rest after lunch and an ice cream in the afternoon ensure that our littlest campers have a program that is paced just right. Camp is not just for big folks. A 3- or 5-day program is available.
Junior Camp Program (Ages 5-6)
Once campers graduate from our pre-k program, their program broadens to include eight daily activities and lunch. We encourage our junior campers to experience a taste of all that Deerkill has to offer — a well-balanced program of athletics, swim instruction and free swim, and specialty period. Athletics include basketball, soccer, softball/wiffleball, newcomb, kickball, dodgeball and gaga. Our specialty periods include nature, tennis, gymnastics, boating, arts and crafts, woodworking, ceramics, computers, ropes, theater arts, photography, video, yoga, martial arts and dance.
Upper Camp Program (Ages 7-14)
Club HourAs our campers grow older we offer an increasingly flexible program with additional elective periods. For our daily "Club Hour," campers age 7 and older can choose from among 25 clubs including our athletics and specialties as well as additional choices such as rocketry and remote control boat racing. The rest of their day is a balanced program of athletics, a dozen specialty activities, and twice daily swimming. One swim period is instructional; the other is a recreational swim.
Quest ElectiveFor our campers who are 10 to 14, our Quest elective program offers them the opportunity to choose a program that is almost entirely athletic, a program that concentrates heavily in the creative and performing arts, or a mixture of the two. Campers eligible for the Quest program choose one specialty elective per week and work with our professional specialists on a project tailored specifically to their interests. Our oldest campers, known as the "Seniors," go on a minimum of five day trips each summer.
Counselors in Training (Age 15)Deerkill prides itself on our "homegrown" staff. Many of our staff are former Deerkill campers who stay at Deerkill to become Counselors in Training (CITs). Our CITs spend half their day assisting our group and specialty counselors while they enjoy all of our regular camp activities the other half of the day. Our CITs join our Seniors on trips throughout the summer. CITs who are ready to advance become junior counselors the following summer.
Special Events and TripsWe add to the daily fun with theme days, professional shows, and trips. Campers get to strut their stuff on theme days such as Crazy Hat and Halloween Day. Every other week we invite outside entertainers such as jugglers, magicians and game shows to perform and instruct our campers. And of course we have our annual events including our world-famous Mystery Night, Field Day, and Carnival. All of our campers in our upper camp program (age 7 to 15) go on one age-appropriate trip each session.
Deerkill Day Camp, celebrating our 58th season under the Rhodes family, is a traditional day camp located on 15 beautiful acres in Suffern. Our group leaders are all college graduates, and our superb swimming and extensive specialty programs are taught by professionals. We have ample indoor space for rainy day programs. Hot lunches, trips, towels, free weekend club, and other "extras" are all included—there are no hidden costs and tipping isn't allowed.
10 Things Camp Counselors Wish Parents Didn't Do
Local camp owners and directors share advice and tips for camp parents—10 things they wish parents didn't do when sending children to camp. Plus, counselors share five things they want parents to know.
More Summer Camp Fun for the Winter Months
As a way to combat the cold winter months and psych your kids (and yourself) up for summer that currently seems just out of reach, we're bringing camp home with an array of slightly modified camp activities that can easily be implemented indoors. Our official guide starts in the February issue, but as promised we've got many more ideas, so here they are…
How Parents Can Deal with Young Children's Separation Anxiety: Advice from Camp Directors in Rockland County

As a lifetime duck fan and graduate, Chips flip flopping has made this all the more sour. Instead of initially being happy for the guy like I was a few weeks back, I am now more pissed off then anything. But i guess this is just typical Chip fashion for the way to go out. Still have a ton of question marks for him at the next level but very excited to see how he does.
I'll make one crazy prediction- even with Shady Mccoy being the main guy there, if Jahvid Best has finally gotten over his concussion issues the Eagles will try and bring him in. He fits Kelly's system perfectly
I can see it. Kelly has great weapons to start with there. SHady, Machlin, jackson, ect. He just needs to get himself an o line and a qb..... Doesnt look like the qb will happen in this draft class though
Bears fired Lovie Smith to hire Marc Trestman? oh Tommy I'm so sorry.
Well I remember when Trestman was OC in Arizona. That's why I'm sorry for you.
You mean when they won their first playoff game ever after the move to Arizona?
Being a coordinator is different than being a head coach. And that was 15 years ago. Maybe he's a good manager. Maybe these players will respond to him. There are so many other variables other than "Oh, I didn't like him as an offensive coordinator in the 90's. He won't be successful." I don't think we can judge a head-coaching hire before the guy ever coaches a game.
Well, what else do we have to judge him on? Dude couldn't hold a job for more than a few years. 49ers OC, then Cardinals OC, then Raiders OC, then "spent a year with the Dolphins", then NC State OC, then to Canada. He did manage to keep a job for 5 years in the CFL, there is that. Congratulations.
You had a coach like that and just fired him.
I will say it to the day I die. Cutler is the problem. If The Broncos didn't have Del Rio I would root for them to pick up Lovie.
I'm so happy the Chargers took McCoy. They will end up worse than KC did this year. McCoy is a giant pussy.
But you're right he didn't have a qb most of the time he was here, and maybe he's just smarter and savvier in the years since leavinig Minnesota. But I'd still laugh if he gets a head coaching gig anywhere.
And it looks like Bruce Arians is the new Cardinals coach.
*based upon tedious fact checking.
So that makes it:
Arizona Cardinals
Bruce Arians (former Colts OC/Interim HC) replaces Ken Whisenhunt (now the Chargers OC)
Buffalo Bills
Doug Marrone (former NCAAF Syracuse HC) replaces Chan Gailey (unemployed and taking a break)
Chicago Bears
Marc Trestman (former CFL Montreal Alouettes HC) replaces Lovie Smith (unemployed and waiting for a HC gig)
Cleveland Browns
Rob Chudzinski (former Panthers OC) replaces Pat Shurmur (unemployed, interviewing as an OC)
Jacksonville Jaguars
Gus Bradley (former Seahawks DC) replaces Mike Mularkey (unemployed and no clue)
Kansas City Chiefs
Andy Reid (former Eagles HC) replaces Romeo Crennel (unemployed and no clue)
Philadelphia Eagles
Chip Kelly (former NCAAF Oregon HC) replaces Andy Reid (now Chiefs HC)
San Diego Chargers
Mike McCoy (former Broncos OC) replaces Norv Turner (now Browns OC)
*based upon tedious fact checking.
Arians' plan: draft Andrew Luck.
And with that, Horton appears out. Todd Bowles? This organization drives me nuts.
Coachella - 4.10.15 - 4.12.15 - Empire Polo Grounds - NOOOOOOOOPE
Apparently Horton had a 'heated exchange' with Steve Keim after being told Arians had been hired, and that got him fired.
edit: no he's not been fired but he is demanding to be let out of his contract, he is seriously pissed he didn't get the gig.

We've spent so much time judging what other people created that we've created very, very little of our own.
― Chuck Palahniuk, Choke
I wasn't rooting for them not to hire Horton so much as I was hoping that if they did hire him it would be because he was the right choice and not because they thought they had to. Horton was claiming he could deliver Norv Turner as OC and Mike Tice as OL coach, but who knows if that's true?
I'm curious about this though.......ESPN claims the front office was worried that hiring Horton was a tough decision because " promoting Horton would have severely reduced the team's options for hiring an offensive staff."
Isn't this true for anybody they hire? It seems like the FO could have handled not hiring him a lot better. Though of course I don't know all the facts.
We've spent so much time judging what other people created that we've created very, very little of our own.

My ranking of the hires:
8. Marc Trestman
7. Doug Marrone
6. Rob Chudzinski
5. Andy Reid
4. Mike McCoy
3. Bruce Arians
2. Chip Kelly
1. Gus Bradley
Am I the only one who thinks that Trestman looks like the proud owner of America's largest child pornography collection?

How to Select
How to select Track Lighting
Track lamps provides perfect focus lighting that is great for decorative purposes both indoors and out. Because selecting such fixture can be a difficult task, Westside Wholesale has prepared a simple guide to help you.
The first thing that you need to do before selecting any track lighting fixture is specify the amount of such fixtures, their overall wattage and installation space that they require. Knowing the information from the above will help you calculate the budget and stick with it in the future.
Most track lighting devices are installed outside the ceiling area and use the mounting accessories that come in a kit with the fixture. If your track lighting fixture doesn't have any installation accessories within the kit, finding them will not be a problem.
The next thing to consider is the design of the future track lighting. Since such fixtures are mainly used to showcase artwork or decorative elements of the interior, they have to be stylish and match the existent décor of the room.
In addition to design, determine the lighting needs before you select any track lighting fixtures. Depending on the purpose of such item that may vary from general light source to accent lighting, select the type that suits the most. This step is really easy to complete since all of the track lighting fixtures have the required information listed in the description. Don't forget about flexibility if you want to be able to adjust the light beam of your future fixture.
Now it's time to think about the housing type and its compatibility with an existing system. Before you select a track lighting fixture, it is important to see if they have a housing that complies with the system's requirements.
After that, you might want to pay attention to quality and price once again. It's imperative that you do not select the cheapest option that you see. Sure, this might save you money at the moment, but it will result in more money spent in the future.
There are countless available track lighting options from industry's top brands; you just need to spend some extra minutes to find them. Always select the lighting fixture that has a warranty and offers the best features among other fixtures within the same price range.
What is the most efficient and reliable type of track lighting?
LED lights are recognized as the most efficient type that exists today. Countless lighting features that they offer, along with efficiency, long life and environmental friendliness, make them the best option to install in every lighting fixture, not necessarily track one.

Midwest talked up as 'entrepreneurial hotspot'
Blog Entry:
December 05, 2012 10:33 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
John Dearborn, president of
JumpStart Inc.
, uses a
Huffington Post column
to talk up the Midwest as an emerging "entrepreneurial hotspot."
This fall, he notes, "entrepreneurs and investors from all over the country" gathered in downtown Cleveland for the National Association of Seed and Venture Funds annual conference, during which AOL founder and Startup America chairman Steve Case said a "broader entrepreneurial ecosystem" with many hubs of innovation is possible.
The Midwest, Mr. Dearborn writes, "is working hard to make Case's vision a reality sooner rather than later." He notes that a recent JumpStart entrepreneur expo "drew 117 startups and more than 1,000 people to an afternoon-long showcase of transformative technologies."
Several trends have emerged to explain why entrepreneurship is "no longer solely the domain of the coasts," Mr. Dearborn writes. Among them:
Communities are developing their own homegrown resources. With cheap rent and plentiful real estate, the Midwest "is a good place to form an accelerator or an incubator," he writes.
There's a growing angel influence. In Ohio especially, "angel funds continue to be a major force: Two of the biggest angel funds in the U.S. (as measured by member size), Ohio TechAngel Funds and North Coast Angel Fund, are located there."
Venture capitalists are entertaining deals that aren't on the coasts. For instance, between 2007 and 2011, 67% of the nearly $1 billion raised by Northeast Ohio startups came from investors based outside of Ohio.
Universities are playing bigger roles in the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem. Ohio State University, Wayne State University, University of Michigan and University of Minnesota "have specialized resources dedicated to facilitating technology commercialization," Mr. Dearborn writes, while the Ohio Board of Regents' 2011 report addressed how the state can improve its commercialization efforts."
This and that
Setting the pace:
Congratulations, Americans. You are
working very hard
"Nonfarm productivity increased at a much faster clip than initially thought in the third quarter as businesses held the line on hiring even as output surged, with unit labor costs falling at their fastest pace in almost a year," Reuters reports, based on data from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Productivity increased at a 2.9% annual rate, the fastest since the third quarter of 2010.
The Labor Department "previously estimated that productivity, which measures hourly output per worker, rose at a 1.9% pace in the third quarter," Reuters notes. In the second quarter, productivity increased at a 1.9% rate.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast productivity being revised up to a 2.7% pace in the third quarter.
Meanwhile, unit labor costs — a gauge of the labor-related cost for any given unit of output — "fell at 1.9% rate in the third quarter, far more than the 0.1% drop previously reported," according to Reuters.
One is too many:
Unfortunately, the city of Cleveland lands on
this list
from TheAtlanticCities.com of cities with the highest rates of gun-related deaths.
Cleveland is ninth on the list, with 25.2 gun deaths per 100,000 residents in 2011. New Orleans was the worst, at
gun deaths per 100,000 people, followed by Detroit, at 41.4.
For the entire Cleveland metro area, the rate was 10.9 guns deaths per 100,000 residents. That was the lowest metro rate for the 10 cities on the list.
State of the art:
Two Northeast Ohio institutions
have received
Challenge America Fast-Track grants from the
National Endowment for the Arts
NEA chairman Rocco Landesman said 153 Challenge America Fast-Track grants totaling $1.53 million were awarded to organizations in 41 states. The grants primarily support small and midsize organizations for projects that "extend the reach of the arts to populations whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by geography, ethnicity, economics or disability," according to the NEA.
Akron Art Museum
received $10,000 to support the "Draw Me A Story" exhibition, featuring the work of children's book illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh. The project, a collaboration with Leggett Elementary School in Akron, includes activities such as workshops for children with arts educators from the University of Akron and the Akron Public Library, a museum exhibition of the children's picture books produced in the workshops, and a commissioned mural-sized illustration by Mr. Tonatiuh.
Also receiving $10,000 is
CityMusic Cleveland
. The money will support the presentation of Israeli composer Avner Dorman's "Uzu and Muzu" as part of the group's Intergenerational Concert Series. The musical parable's central theme is about conflict between people and nations.

|Stability of weighted darma filters
We study the stability of linear filters associated with certain types of linear difference equations with variable coefficients. We show that stability is determined by the locations of the poles of a rational transfer function relative to the spectrum of an associated weighted shift operator. The known theory for filters associated with constant-coefficient difference equations is a special case.

Syracuse apartments for rent are located in and around the Armory Square historic district. The area saw significant growth during the mid-19th century as more people recognized the benefits of this area that was in close in proximity to the Erie Canal and major rail lines. Today, residents enjoy browsing through new businesses located inside of old, historic buildings. The city made a significant effort to revitalize and preserve the architectural styles of the buildings that remained after many buildings were vacated or demolished between 1940 and 1960.
Syracuse apartments for rent offer residents the opportunity to indulge in the many amenities the city has to offer. The Museum of Science & Technology, located in Armory Square, is a great place for families to learn and play together. Every year, the Syracuse community and greater state of New York has the opportunity to come together and celebrate everything "New York" at The Great New York State Fair. The festivities occur at the end of August at the New York State Fairgrounds. Families and friends can indulge in great food, entertainment and attend special events like the 2013 IEA Hunt Seat National Equestrian Finals or the Country Folk Art Show.
New York residents are no strangers to the public transportation systems. Residents of apartments in Syracuse have access to the Centro Syracuse public buses as an alternative method of traveling around the city, to work and school. Centro bus routes are provided to residents through the Onondaga County. Bus routes include stops at colleges and universities, shopping centers and travel between public transit connector locations.
The Syracuse Housing Authority owns and manages approximately 15 housing developments. Low- to moderate-income residents can apply for Syracuse apartments for rent through the city's housing department. The public housing authority works to provide safe, affordable homes to families and individuals in need throughout Syracuse.
AreaVibes reports that the average cost of living for residents of Syracuse apartments is approximately 25.9 percent less than the state average and 7.4 less than the national average. The Syracuse community typically pays $3.89 for a gallon of gas, $4.82 for a cup of coffee and $10.00 for pizza, added the source.
Students living in apartments for rent in Syracuse have the opportunity to explore the historic and cultural sites that further aid in their educational studies. The top industries in Syracuse are education and healthcare. The top five employers of Onondaga County include Upstate University Health System, Syracuse University, Wegmans, St. Joseph's Hospital Center and Crouse Hospital.

Banana Cream Cheese Muffins
Tomorrow is Halloween and I'm sure everyone is busy and gearing up for trick or treat. Baby G is celebrating his first Halloween this year, well, I mean he is actually going to dress up this year. The last two years, he was too little to understand anything so we didn't dress him up and he didn't go trick or treating. But now that he is two years old, can't stop talking and loves candies, we think it's time for him to have some Halloween fun. He is going to be the pirate of the Neverland.
His daycare has a big Halloween potluck tomorrow and everyone is going to bring a treat. I decided to bake these delicious banana cream cheese muffins for the kids in his class. I baked these muffins last week and as soon as they were out of the oven, I took a bite and decided that this is the item to bring to the party…banana plus cream cheese will be a surefire hit at the party. And perhaps Baby G will become even more popular now that the mom is out to bribe all his little friends with some really good muffins!
These banana cream cheese muffin recipe is adapted from Baked Bree, whom I met earlier this month (I also met with Gina at Skinny Taste ). When I first spotted the recipe on Baked Bree, I immediately saved it. I know most people love banana nut muffin but imagine your regular version with cream cheese…they are the best combinations ever. I have just baked these banana cream cheese muffins again for tomorrow's party and I am seriously having trouble not to eat them. They smell too good and tempting!
In any case, this is a recipe that you should totally try out if you love muffins, or if you wish to feed your kids with some nutritious breakfast or afternoon snack. I guarantee that they will not stop eating. For more baking ideas, check out my baking recipes.

Your banana cream cheese muffin looks so nice. I'm sure it'll be a hit at the party.
I put chopped dried fruit like apples, apricots and dates.
NUTS!!! Different kinds of nuts esp pistachios!
Hershey cinnamon choc chips! Together with crunchy streusel toppings! Yummy! :)
Fresh berries:)
could I sub the bananas for apple sauce?
You can try, but mashed banana and apple sauce may not have the similar consistency thus I am not sure the correct amount to use as substitute.
Since these have a cream cheese filling, do they need to be refrigerated?
Wud luv to try this recipe. However, how many grams or ozs are
1-1/2cup flour, 1 cup sugar.
Is the cream cheese the block type or the spreadable cheese. Thank you for your help.
@Et: 1 cup of flour is approximately 125g (depending on humidity), 1.5 cup flour is ~187.5g.
1 cup of sugar is approximately 200g.
We always use the block cream cheese for baking.
Thank you for your quick response. Would appreciate if for future recipes you also indicate the grams besides the cup measurement so that I need not have to trouble you again with this conversion again.
@Laura: I didn't refrigerate, but they are so good that they will be gone within 1-2 days.
Hi Bee, thank you for sharing this recipe. Banana and cream cheese are two of my best mix favourites. How time flies to see that Baby G has grown so fast – 2 years old. I can't wait to try these yummy muffins for my kids.
Thank you, Bee, for such a great muffin recipe! I had some bananas hanging around, and your recipe sounded so good that I made it last night. I did have to substitute some ingredients, though: chocolate cream cheese (Kraft Philadelphi Indulgence in milk chocolate) and cashews, broken into bits. They turned out fluffy and moist. Thanks again!
Sounds delicious, I'm gonna try it… can I substitute the mashed bananas for Blackberry jam?
These look so delicious!
This looks insanely good. I'm definitely going to try it!
I'm a muffin addict. Those look wonderful, like they just came from a bakery. Wish I had one now :)
Where did you get those cute little cupcake liners?
Pingback:有史以来最成功的一个Cheese Muffin | 日安弦歌
Hi Bee, Thanks for this wonderful recipe, I tried baking it twice, they tasted superb, but is not nice looking, it collapsed in the middle, must I used 12 cups baking pan? I used 6 cups baking pan and made 12 – 18 muffins.

2. Resurrection - by Dwimordene
And the One All In Grey with kind eyes had walked with him throughout, open-handed, offering a long peace. It was the white in those eyes, perhaps, that had stayed his reaching for it.
Now that One walked further from him at nights, watching without speaking. There was light now to break the dark stretches, and ah, how he ached! From wounds and from weariness and from the very weakness that made a glass of water heavy in his hand. Once he had held steel without a tremble; now his arm felt feather-light, insubstantial as the morning sunlight streaming through the window.
And he remembered more, remembered beyond the long darkness, remembered Darkness of a different kind: days and months and years of standing the Long Watch, on the Road and restless, waiting for a Daybreak that might not come. There had been the call, and the ride, and then the Door: My death lies beyond it.
Things grew hazy after that way-sign. There had been a battle and a banner, and then he would grow pale and sweat and tremble, head throbbing with shards of memory that sent a fire through wasted, wounded flesh all over again.
"Don't, don't," the healers said. "Let it go."
But he could not. It had marked him too well, that day upon Pelennor, pierced him through and through, got inside him and gone to ground, and he knew there would be no letting go for 'twas not in his grasp, but he was in its grip, and there was only one who could pluck him free.
But the One All In Grey walked further from him, and his hands were closed.
There comes a day, though, when the breeze blows through the Houses, smelling of rosemary, and the air is rife with news of homecoming. "He" is coming home. The rumors that had leaked past his door to tell of the outside world—a world where men and women waited eagerly for a return—at last take on a meaning, pierce his solitude, and quicken a listless heart.
The day trails by in a long, warm light, and he waits, venturing out, even, into the gardens, though he cannot say whether pride or legs pain him more, for the cane he must use or for the sore shakiness of his steps. But he sits and he listens to the bells toll and the bees hum and watches the river drift by far below until at last, as the light is finally dying, a soft step warns of someone coming.
A hand touches his shoulder briefly, as the other sits beside him on the low-backed bench. Hands meet and press—firmly, weakly, as hard as they can. And that is all. It is enough for a time. Evening falls softly, and someone is singing in the garden back by the Herb Master's window. He knows the song, surprises himself by humming along under his breath.
"You went very far from us, Halbarad," says his companion, when the singer leaves, and he falls silent, too.
"I know."
"'Tis good to have you back."
And ah, there is the sharp point in it all! He stares at the evening star winking upon the horizon, and thinks of the white in the One's eyes, of the yellow-bright silence of his world since the light came back, and his head aches a little as thought touches once more on the thing in him that holds him still.
"I have the feeling that I should not be here," he says finally.
"But you are here."
"I know. 'Tis strange."
The garden is very still for a long while after that. The bells toll twice—the hour is halfway gone. Yet they sit through the next sounding as well, as more stars flicker to life. At length, Aragorn speaks again, his voice oddly distant:
"We could see no stars before the Gates. There was some question whether the sun would even come up that morning, or whether we would miss her if she did not. We were going to die, after all."
And Yes, yes, that is how it is! he thinks, and knows that Aragorn said it for that very reason. And why should it strike so hard, when there have been other such days when he knew very well he should not have walked home again? How many of them? He has forgotten, or else they have all come together as "Pelennor" in his mind and perhaps that is why the word pains him so.
"Everything seems like paper," he says softly. "Thin—as if I could put a wall out by touching it. As if I could wake any moment, and this would be a dream."
"You are not well, Hal."
"Neither are you."
"True enough. None of us are. We'll learn our sickness a little, day by day, 'til we tire of measuring it. And one day we shall be surprised all over again that we are still here, but that day, it will be a sweet surprise. So—" and Aragorn rises, helping him to his feet, steadying him "—are you with me?"
And there is that in his voice that recalls a man to duty—not the duty of any oath, but the duty all men owe to their fellows who are in need. Halbarad sighs, but then he reaches to clasp the other's arm, solid and warm beneath his hand.
"When have I not been?" he asks.
"Never," comes the quick, certain reply. They stand there a moment, and in the near darkness, Halbarad watches the slow smile spread over Aragorn's face—over his king's face, and an answering, weary joy seizes him so hard and suddenly that his knees buckle as it surges through him like storm surf.
But Aragorn is there, with a shoulder for him to lean on, and quick, quiet-voiced concern that gives way to a sort of laughing wonderment eventually, as Halbarad tries to wave him off, gasping, "I'm fine, I'm fine!"
"You're weeping!"
"I'm fine!"
"You're laughing."
"Are you laughing at me or with me, here?"
There is no need of an answer to that, as Aragorn walks him back to the Houses and into the care of the rather bewildered, dumbfounded healers.
"Tomorrow," Aragorn promises, and bids him good-night.
That night, Halbarad dreams of a world clear as glass, shining with the light of all the heavens. He knows it, has always known it, can name all the pathways he has walked in his long life. They are alight now, blazing trails, no longer shadowed ways. And as he comes to the crossroads at the heart of the old kingdom, he feels another near him, feels the cool of white eyes. He is there, waiting for him—the One All In Grey, patient as ever he must be as he watches the Westerly Way.
But this time, there is no question, not even one unasked. His way lies elsewhere, as he turns towards the mountains.
Yet he is not abandoned. The One All In Grey does not follow, yet there is another—still in grey, but with a star upon his brow, and the sea in his eyes, who speaks to him in a well-loved voice, saying:
Welcome home!

My death lies beyond it: '"This is an evil door," said Halbarad, "and my death lies beyond it. I will dare to pass it nonetheless..."' —"The Passing of the Grey Company," RotK, 64.
