Courting the Lady: 8. Epistolary Seasons II
Dear Thorongil,
You may have heard – I hope you have heard – from my brother the sad news of our mother's rapid decline. I am sorry that you did not meet her before, for it certainly seems unlikely that you will now have the chance, and I believe you would have liked her, and she you. I hesitate to ask, for I realize that your company's need must prevail, but do you suppose that it might be possible for Imrahil to get leave sometime this autumn to come home to see his mother one last time? Certainly I will understand if with his junior status it is not, and my mother and father will as well, but I know that she would dearly love to see her son again.
I sent to Imrahil last month a rose from our garden here, and it occurs to me that you might like one as well, a token of affection to carry perhaps. A few nights ago I read an old poem about a rose that I thought you might enjoy as much I did the verses you sent me recently. The author is by tradition supposed to have lived in the reign of Atanatar II, and to have written in vain to the king's niece.
Take thou this rose, O Rose,
Since Love's own flower it is,
And by that rose
Thy lover captive is.
Smell thou this rose, O Rose,
And know thyself as sweet
As dawn is sweet.
Look on this rose, O Rose,
And looking, laugh on me,
And in thy laughter's ring
The nightingale shall sing.
Kiss thou this rose, O Rose,
That it may know the scarlet of thy mouth.
O Rose, this painted rose
Is not the whole,
Who paints the flower
Paints not its fragrant soul. (1)
I may hope that the pressed rose that I give to you contains the fragrant soul, still! It seemed to me that I ought not to show favoritism between my two correspondents out in Ithilien.
With love,
17 Yavannië 2974
Dear Fin,
The nights grow chill again here, and I notice the days shorten more quickly than in the south. Our enemies begin to withdraw to the east, to their lairs and strongholds there, and Thorongil tells us that soon we will reduce our patrolling somewhat for the season. We will be changing camps again, too, and perhaps joining up with another company into a larger camp for the winter. Lasmir, our sergeant, says that is always enjoyable when it happens; there are usually contests between the men of the different companies, at archery and wrestling and swordplay and so on, not for money directly (though I'm sure some betting goes on) but more for the honor of their company. He says that since Thorongil has been a captain, his men have nearly always been victorious in such matches. So I look forward to the move.
But tell me, sister, is the mighty lord Denethor's wooing actually succeeding with you? From your accounts of his letters it sounds to me as if you enjoy them and even look forward to them. Now that surprises me. He seemed not a bad fellow, both when we dined with the Steward last winter and when he came here on inspection last month, but old and rather harsh, even secretive in a way. Not really a man to my taste, and I would not have thought to yours, either. I should have thought you'd like Thorongil better. I know you have been writing to the captain too. What are you playing at? If I'm granted leave to come home to visit Mother, you can be sure I'll make you tell me.
Oh, bother. I forgot I'm supposed to go on patrol today, so I have to end this. Give Mother my especial love, and love to Father too.
9 Narquelië 2974
Dear Imrahil,
I know you don't care for Denethor all that much, but he is really not as stuffy as you think. He has been very attentive and solicitous all year, sending me little gifts, asking after Mother, even writing poems for me, as I've mentioned before. They may not always be the match of the greats of the past – he is no Daeron – but he tries so hard, that they are charming despite being sometimes awkward. (2) And he very clearly means what he says. I do believe he wishes to wed me, for Father has intimated as much, but he has said nothing directly to me as yet. Which is as well, for though I enjoy his letters, my heart is yet unsure.
But I have had little to delight in this year with Mother unwell and Father either busy with all the cares of Belfalas or else distraught. It is the letters I exchange with you, with Thorongil, and with Denethor that bring me such pleasure as I can find. I do hope that you will be able to come home, at least for a little while; I miss you so.
With love,
13 Narquelië 2974
Dear Finduilas,
The Guard of the Citadel has been training hard of late. As you are no doubt aware, my command has mostly ceremonial and guard duties, but in consultation with the Steward I have decided that they should be able to hold their own with any other company in Gondor. Should the fighting on our borders increase – and Umbar again seems a rising threat – we might need every man. So amid much grumbling I have instituted a new training program. With my other duties, much of its implementation falls to my second-in-command, but I participate whenever possible.
I thank you for your kind words about my limping lines. I have not had the time lately to write another poem of such length, but perhaps you will like this couplet:
Seabird wandering northward – hearken now to my calling.
Will you rest in my dovecote, now that autumn is falling?
Do you yet know if you will be able to make the journey to Minas Tirith this winter season? I should very much like to see you again in person, delightful though our correspondence has been. My father adds his voice to mine to urge your presence. But if your responsibilities to land and family hold you in Dol Amroth, of course I understand.
Yours with all respect,
17 Hísimë 2974
Dear Denethor,
I do apologize, very much indeed, for the delay in my answer to your last two letters. Please do not think that I had any thought of slighting you; my mother's health has taken a very serious turn and I have hardly been able to leave her side except for the most pressing matters of the household.
This sad circumstance does mean, I fear, that I will not be able to come to Minas Tirith this Ringarë. I am sorry, for I would have liked to come to the Steward's Feast and dance again with you. But it will not be possible for me to leave Dol Amroth and my mother. My father has not yet decided if he will be able to make the journey north either; I believe he will wait until the very week he would travel before he decides, for though he would not want to be negligent in his duties, if he were absent at the moment of crisis he would find it hard to forgive himself. I look forward to the chance that Imrahil may be granted leave to come home briefly to visit our mother. So though I cannot leave, at least I may see my brother in recompense.
The sorrow in our household cannot be inflicted on all our people, naturally. We have held festival as usual, and the celebrations of yáviérë were carried out in great style. All the houses were bedecked with boughs and the last of the autumn flowers, and we had our traditional dance here in the great hall, to which many in the city come. So you see, even in the midst of our unhappiness there are moments of cheer.
With kind regards,
5 Ringarë 2974
Dear Finduilas,
Of course I will do all I can to get Imrahil back to Dol Amroth, especially now that you have warned me that it may be a matter of weeks only. He is to take leave on Eärenya next, and will travel with the returning supply wagon to Osgiliath, and thence down Anduin. He must return by early Narvinyë, of course, but unless something goes wrong he should be able to spend rather more than a week with his mother and the rest of your family. A long journey for a short visit, but better than none, I hope.
I shall not be going to Minas Tirith myself this season; not every captain of the rangers may do so every year! So instead we shall celebrate mettarë and yestarë here as men invariably seem to do in such circumstances, by eating too much roast meat and drinking too much ale and wine. Generally the officers manage to organize some competitions to keep the men occupied, as well, most often of one sort of combat or another but also storytelling and singing. I hope that you can enjoy the season despite your troubles. . .
In return for the charming verses about the Rose that you sent me – and I keep the rose itself safe, you may be sure – let me offer you this one:
She stood in her scarlet gown,
If anyone touched her
The gown rustled.
She stood, her face like a rose,
Shining she stood
And her mouth was a flower.
She stood by the branch of a tree,
And writ her love on a leaf. (3)
This, I must confess, is not a poem of my own devising. I learned it many years ago in my foster-father's house. The original is in an extremely antiquated form of Grey-elven, so I have translated it, though I was not successful in keeping the form the same – you know how difficult that can be.
Fondest regards,
20 Ringarë 2974
Dear Finduilas,
I anticipate that this will reach you just in time for mettarë; I certainly hope so. In the accompanying parcel you should have found two books; one is the History of Gondor that I spoke of to you last year, that I had commissioned from a young scholar. Golasgil tells me that he has discovered a great deal more information that warrants inclusion, and would like to continue working to improve it, but I insisted that he must create an acceptable version by this month so that it could be distributed among all the lords of the land for their use. So that volume is for Adrahil, though you may also wish to read it, and I hope you do.
The other, as you see, is a copy of the collection of poems and stories that you saw in Angrim's shop and liked so well. Since you were not able to visit the city this year to buy it for yourself, as I know you wished to do, I trust that you will accept this as a humble gift from me. Someday, perhaps, you might read to me your favorite verses from it.
Ecthelion sends his best wishes for the season, and hopes that your mother may recover some strength with the sight of her son, as of course do I.
With best wishes for the new year,
(1) This poem is translated from the anonymous late 12th century Latin work known as the Carmina Burana. The last verse is a personal favorite of mine, and it seemed like something Finduilas would have liked too.
(2) Daeron was the legendary minstrel at Thingol's court in Doriath, who composed songs to Lúthien.
(3) Another poem from the Carmina Burana.

Why a healthy waist?Welcome to the Heart and Stroke Foundation's Healthy Waist website. Here you will find information on the importance of keeping your waistline at a healthy size.
Fat stored around your middle can put you at risk for high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, type-2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Almost 60% of Canadian adults are overweight or obese. Obese Canadians are four times as likely to have diabetes, more than 3 times as likely to have high blood pressure and more than two times more likely to have heart disease than those with a healthy weight.
A modest weight reduction of as little as 5% of body weight can reduce your high blood pressure and total blood cholesterol. For example, if you weigh 150 lbs, 5% would equal about 7.5 pounds. (5% of 68 kg equals 3.4 kg). Simply weighing yourself is not the only way to determine your health risk. Studies have shown that extra weight around the waistline is more dangerous to the heart than extra weight that is on the hips and thighs.
Where you carry your weight is just as important as how much weight you carry when it comes to your health. This two-minute video will help you determine if you're at risk for overweight-related diseases such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, type-2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke by providing the proper steps to assess your waistline size with a measuring tape.
Watch a video on howto take your waist measurement:

Here's how to take a proper waist measurement
Are you at risk?
If your waistline measurement is within 8 cm/3 in. of, or greater than, the cutoff according to your ethnicity and gender, speak to your healthcare provider right away about how to achieve a healthy weight through regular physical activity and healthy eating.
Waist circumference is a good predictor of your risk for heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and type-2 diabetes. Speak with your healthcare provider about your waist circumference, body mass index (BMI) and other risk factors you might have for heart disease and stroke.

Journey's Summer Tour Slowly Growing
Friday, May 31, 2013
What stated out as Journey's mini-summer trek, has now grown into a major 16-date outing. Journey has just announced a new stop for the summer run, hitting Catoosa, Oklahoma on August 23rd. As it stands now, following a four night European stand -- which will take in one British show and three in Germany -- Journey will kick things off in North America on July 20th in Minot, North Dakota and eventually wrap things up on September 1st in Snowmass, Colorado. More dates are expected to be announced soon.
Founding guitarist Neal Schon told us that having a worldwide touring presence was always something that he wished for the Journey and over the past several years, they've made a concerted effort to hit different continents and break in new territories: "It's not mind-boggling to me, it's always something that I thought we could achieve. We just never went after it in the '80s and when we were playing stadiums, we never spent the time in Europe and we never spent the time in South America or brought anywhere, except the Orient. So, y'know, in a way, it's really cool because all these markets are fresh, new green grounds for us to (laughs) stomp on, y'know?"
UPDATED: Journey North American tour dates (subject to change):
July 20 - Minot, ND - North Dakota State Fair Center Grandstand
July 24 - Windsor, ON - Caesars Windsor "The Colosseum"
July 26 - London, ON - Rock The Park Festival at Harris Park
July 29 - Rama, ON - Casino Rama Entertainment Centre
August 1 - Hershey, Pennsylvania - Hersheypark Stadium (with Rascal Flatts)
August 3 - Gilford, NH - Meadowbrook
August 4 - Atlantic City, NJ - Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall (with Rascal Flatts)
August 16 - Lampe, MO - Black Oak Mountain Amphitheater
August 18 - Springfield, IL - Illinois State Fair Grandstand
August 20, 21 - Highland Park, IL - Ravinia Festival At Ravinia Park
August 23 - Catoosa, OK - The Joint at Hard Rock Casino / Tulsa
August 24 - Mulvane, KS - Kansas Star Arena
August 28, 29 - Las Vegas, NV - Pearl Concert Theater
September 1 - Snowmass, CO - Jazz Aspen Snowmass at Snowmass Town Park

I love the Olive Leaf lotions and was excited to try the cologne. It does smell good, but does not last. It performs more like a much cheaper product rather than what I expected from Thymes, especially for the price. It seems to be lacking in whatever carrier makes the scent last on the skin. Sorry I spent the money on it.

Yes No
fantastic fragrance
love this fresh, clean scent. love the hints of patchouli, which is my favorite. I get lots of compliments when I wear this fragrance! "You smell fantastic!"
The fragrance I've always wanted
I first tried the Olive Leaf fragrance as a hand lotion. I bought it while I was on vacation because I had forgotten to pack lotion. I loved it so much I wouldn't let my husband use it when we got home because I was afraid I'd never find it again. Then my daughter gave me the cologne and more hand lotion for my birthday. It's the most wonderful fragrance I've ever worn. It's soft and subtle, yet earthy and sensual. It's a clean, just-out-of-the shower scent that I will never be without again. Love, love, love it. I also have Naia, which is the perfect cool summer spritz, but it isn't very long-lasting on me. Olive Leaf lasts and gets better throughout the day.
A Walk in a Meadow
After trying a sample of Olive Leaf, I HAD TO HAVE IT! Fresher than a walk in morning dew. I am always looking for "my scent".I have found it. Natural, earthy, clean. I HAVE FOUND IT!
Delightfully fresh and exciting scent
Olive Leaf is so delightfully fresh! I just love wearing it, bathing in it and smoothing the body lotion on every morning! I suggest it's light enough for males as well as females of all ages! My daughter introduced me to Olive Leaf and I have given it as gifts to others. When I wear the cologne, I have had many complements! Thank You for this great product at THYMES!

Hello everyone,
been lurking for a while and found this to be a great camping website. My hubby and I ( and soon to be son/daughter) love camping, usually more inclined towards the semi- bush.
We are looking to go camping for 3-4 days as my last camping trip ( am 5 months pregnant!) on the 1st week-end of November. However, we don't want to drive 4 hours as my bladder and back can't handle that long, plus we will be joined by some people who will only come the Saturday & Sunday....We have camped at Wollondilly River Station last year and LOVED it but would like to try somewhere new
Can anyone suggest a good camping spot that has the below
1-within 2 to 2.5 hours of Sydney ( 3 hours AT THE MAX)
2-Close to water for a swim
3-is not a "caravan park" type of place more semi-bush or somewhere that won't be busy..it's one of my last getaway before being a mum, I want peace and quiet in a natual surroundings
4- toilets would be nice but not necessary (same goes with shower)
Any suggestions?

Obama wants to spend our money on world problems instead of american problems as he claims during his talks. tell him to stop spending our money. we need it here,. the UN is not anyplace to send any money. they learned how to waste it more than even congress
JamesKlichll, You have to be kidding me?! If this is a "great bill" then I have some ocean front property in Arizona I'd like to sell you. How asinine of a statement. Whats wrong with using the money that we, as American taxpayers, pay for economic issues in the United States? Why do we, as Americans, have to bail every other country out of debt and raise their citizens out of poverty when we have our own issues to deal with? It's not our responsibility.
You know, its kind of like that speech flight attendants make before every flight, regarding the oxygen masks…put the mask on yourself first before helping others. If you can't take care of yourself first, then you along with the others will die.
We need to take care of our home first.
Have the majority of our US Congressmen and Senators forgotten who they represent? I'm tired of the amount of money (taxpayer dollars) being sent to help other nations. When we have so many needs that should be addressed first here in the US. WHEN WILL OUR GOVERNMENT START USING COMMON SENCE AND TAKE CARE OF THE TAXPAYERS HERE! THE USA TAXPAYERS ARE BEING PIMPED TO OTHER NATIONS TO MAKE THEM WEALTHY. IT IS TIME TO PUT A STOP TO THE MADNESS.

Seems we never learn. Spending poverty into oblivion has NEVER worked.
Until our government is able to achieve a budget surplus while meeting all of its Constitutional duties, it can not be trusted to fix problems in other countries (which is NOT a Constitutional duty).
Who the hell do these people think they are ? Everyone of them should thank God that they have the job they have because if they keep trying to push crap like "bill 2433" over on the American people who pay them , I believe we will have to start getting rid of all incumbents especially the ones who refuse to live by our Constitution . Do they think we are asleep? They wounder why we don't send contributions to support their Socialist Agendas! We are watching and for now we can vote your ass'es out ! Wake Up America !
The time has come for the United States to focus in its own citizens. The government should not put the welfare of global citizens before its own. The gap between the rich and the poor continues to grow, and an increasing number of families are without healthcare. The United States cannot expect to remain economically strong while constantly playing "mother" to the world. Also I feel that the United States has violated the liberties of other nations in the name of welfare.
A dangerous direction.
Foreign aid has never worked. In fact ,through the devices of the UN, it has been used to fortify the coffers of multinational corporations (Pharma, Agri, etc.) often to the extreme detriment to the people the money is supposed to be helping. This is NOT an accident. The UN knows that the cheapest, most effective way to reduce poverty by 50% is to speed the deaths of those people: 1)By controlling and diminishing the nutritive value in the food supply with GM (read about Codex Alimentarius and how it's coming to the US). 2)By keeping those regions in conflict. (Ask yourself why nothing was done about Rwanda – and why nothing is being done about Darfur) 3)by engineering treatment resistant disease strains… (google Bayer AIDS)
Are you all on crack or something? The US has oppressed peoples from all over the world, and has promoted slave labor and sweatshops so you freaks can by crap at Walmart.
Poverty is real. And its not hitting us here in the US because big corporations want our US labor force to be slaves again.
Shut up. Idiots

"The US has oppressed peoples from all over the world, and has promoted slave labor and sweatshops so you freaks can buy crap at Walmart."
Funny, we all seem to be against globalism. Didn't I hear you rail against the buy American campaign because you wanted jobs for foreign workers?
"Poverty is real."
See cat, see cat run. You've made daddy proud!
"And its now hitting us here in the US because big corporations want our US labor force to be slaves again."
…still not sure how taking more of my money is a solution, but thanks for playing.
"Shut up. Idiots"
…a direct command from the king of idiots.
I have read the bill and believe that it is NOT the responsibility of the US to support the world. We have enough problems just feeding the people who need it in our own country. If this is the kind of person that wants to be president, we have a serious problem!
no no no! Don't we have enough debt as a nation and no I wil not pay more tax. It is the responsibility of the other nations leaders to take care of their people. Instead of sticking the money in their pockets figure out a stimulas package that will bring agricultural or manufacturing business for their own wealth. why are we to be punished because our nations fore fathers fought to create an environment where men and women use their God given gifts to create wealth. Every nation has that ability but will not think of the people first. It is not our responsibility to be a baby sitter for the world..
He probably would like this law on the books so if he becomes President, it will give him a legitimate basis to start doling out our money to other countries … that is, more than we already are doling! How could anyone vote for someone who cares so little for the people of this country who are striving every day to get by? And, he is one that will push amnesty for the illegal aliens so we can have even more in poverty within our country.

Dear Sir: The following is a very important concern of mine and others that are having the same experience as myself. I would like it know that this country or any other country cannot survive with such outrageous tactics. Spying, doing harm to Citizens of this great nation is most dangerous to the ongoing of civil liberties. It is most urgent that the Congress of this country take action against such activities. Sincerely, L E Richards
Harm done to U S Citizens
Satellites used by the U S Government for national security is being use for surveillance and harming U S Citizens
The Federal Government has placed in space, for national security reasons Space Stations to observe areas along the coast and throughout the country, thinking that we my be attacked by our enemies. Of course, some individuals in the Government, citizens too, believes that any and all means are necessary to protect and defend the citizens of this Great Nation, and I agree. The thing is, these Satellites can and are being used for seeking out and disrupting individuals from their normal everyday activities. Satellite technology is a dastardly thing to citizens in any country when that technology becomes a controlling factor to those citizens living "the pursuit of happiness' dream.
I'm not crying out for myself alone. I am convinced others are being affected by the government, being spied upon and done harm. These satellites are affecting many of this country's citizens, people who have no intention of disrupting the government. People I know and love, are being attacked and penetrated in a harmful way; and, I'm thinking, these citizens are unawares of what's happening to them, not realizing their infirmity could and are being created by the U S Government Satellites program and their coordinators. I am personally dumbfounded at how many people I know, or had known, have illnesses that could very well be the result of harmful vibrations that originate from satellites.
I'm hoping you aren't thinking "what an imagination, satellites doing harm to a United States citizen"? Naturally, not having any real proof on my part, I could refer to the News Media, where reports have come out that Satellites are capable of impeding citizens from their normal existence. I'm sure the people of this great nation would like to know if they said something, whether meaningful or off the cuff, with no intention of changing the society in which they live, that they could easily be tormented. Even government employees and elected office members could be under surveillance and done harm, without them even knowing it. Individuals can be located and monitored, in the home, driving a car, even grocery shopping; and, unless the individual becomes concealed and/or are no longer identified, they can be harmed by the U S Government Satellites Program. The End

Reading the comments above makes me sad to be American. I am for a version of America that cares about the rest of the world. To the person who said, "But not before we fix our own house." Should you really be fixing your house when other people don't have one? Justice is not something that extends only to our own borders.
kbone3: I'm not saying things aren't bad here. I just don't think helping foreign countries is at odds with helping ourselves. We can make things better here, and be good global citizens.
What you say is correct that other countries do not help us with our poverty problem. This is because we are lucky enough not to have the kind of poverty that this bill is seeking to address. (Other countries do, however, "help us." The economic stimulus package that we have just voted to approve is going to be funded by loans from China. )
Moreover, we are not talking about helping other countries out when their citizens are losing their homes—which is what your comment seems to imply. We are talking about helping out people who don't have enough to eat, let alone spent any money whatsoever on shelter of any kind (forget renting in even the most meager circumstances). These people are living in fields of reinforced cardboard boxes. To compare your circumstances (losing your home) to theirs (working all day and still not being able to feed your kid, let alone provide shelter for your family) is ludicrous and insulting to these people.
We will vote the Democrats into office, and things will get better here. But they will still be the same elsewhere in the world.

It is very disappointing to Heaven's Miraculous Angelic Giving Inspirational Child, Inc., that our government spends 42 million dollars on letters about a tax refund, billions in Iraq, and yet the G.I.V.E. Act struggles for acceptance.
Heaven's Miraculous Angelic Giving Inspirational Child, Inc. would thrive in a country that embraces the G.I.V.E. Act.
Service-Learning has immeasurable value!!
Check out "The U.T.O.P.I.A. Project" and discover the power of Service-Learning for yourself.
Pay close attention to the U.T.O.P.I.A. System and please listen to the beginning message.
If they don't pass the G.I.V.E. Act, "We the People" will have to GIVE more of our tax money for prisons, GIVE more of our tax money for drug and alcohol abuse, GIVE more of our tax money for teenage pregnancy, and GIVE more of our tax money for welfare.
The G.I.V.E. Act and a proactive approach seems so much more logical, supportive, and responsible.
A vote for Service-Learning and support for Service-Learning will enrich this country, its youth, and its educators. It will also keep more money in your wallet in the long run.
When you realize how valuable Service-Learning is, please call your representatives and persuade them to pass the G.I.V.E. Act.
God Bless all who support the G.I.V.E. Act!
Laura Ann Osterman

The giving should be more American and less tax dollars going overseas. Iraq is winding down and the Congressmen who want to control foreign policy think that is done with US tax dollars going overseas. We need to keep the tax dollars in the US to help the homeless and poor.
The citizens of the U.S. need to elect Senators and Reps. who will address the problems of America and quit devoting all this time, money and energy to the other countries of the World. We cannot afford to support the entire world. We need to take care of America first and if we have anything left over then we can share it with our neighbor. Our elected officials can never figure out how to reduce taxation – their solution is always to apply more taxes to fix the problem. Maybe another TEA Party is in order.
America is being sold out by our politicians. Obama and all the others on the left are leading us into socialism and next communism. They want us dependant on them…that makes us helpless. As much as I dislike our so called conservatives we cannot let the dems take control. We at least have a chance with republicans.
- Totalitarianism comes in suppository form only. Let us take stock. U.N. control… Money(phonie) going out the door faster than it's coming in… NO CONFIDENCE in either Dems or Repubs(same DNA)… 300 million poeple in this country and junk in the bailout/ ballot box… RFID chip tech.in our everyhting, dogs, cats, pets of all kinds, kids, horses(go ahead laugh you'll need them when gas hits $8.00) our foreheads and our shorts… NO WEAPONS We have U.N. troops,and BACKWATER PUKES coming through our front doors. Going payday to payday feeding polititains. I don't know wheather to stand up, lie done,bend over(again) or just pick the gold out of my own teeth and report to the furnaces. I/we hired these poeple to skipper my Ship of State, and they run her (on pourpose) on the rocks!! WE either have to stand up or go lay down. Where is Mr Jefferson? Mr. Pane? Will Rogers?
Well… the United Nations did so well, with the poor in DARFUR … what is so wrong with sending into the World Bank another 65 billion a year.. Somebody help me?..isn't the UN the same people that helped in the 'oil for food program?', and on and on… you really think the tax would end in 13 years?… ya.
"Get 'U.S.' out of the U.N.- now!"

Theology and Ethics
The PhD in Theology and Ethics program prepares its students to pursue scholarship as teaching and writing theologians in the academy and the church. Our graduates teach in theological seminaries and undergraduate church-related colleges, as well as serve in denominational leadership . The Concentration is based on an integration of theology and ethics, while allowing a student to have a major area of focus within the two. The Concentration presupposes that these disciplines cannot ultimately be separated from each other in Christian understanding.
- Theology focus: Study of selected classical and contemporary theological constructions, with attention to their grounding in the broad stream of Christian tradition. It focusses particularly on biblical and Reformation trajectories that take seriously the issues raised in the modern and contemporary eras. A significant dimension of this engagement is the awareness of how theology contributes to moral deliberation, discourse and ethical praxis.
- Ethics focus: Study of theological ethics or Christian social and political thought; study of a specific issue such as gender, race and class relations, war and peace, technology and culture, with attention devoted to related contextual, historical, and theological issues.
Admission Requirements:
- Masters degree in religious or theological studies from an accredited college or university.
- Proficiency in the English language. Applicants for whom English is not their first language will be required to give evidence of such competence (demonstrated by a TOEFL score).
A completed application consists of:
- Application
- Research statement
- Professional experience/Resume
- Writing sample (15 pages)
- 3 letters of reference
- Official Graduate Record Exam (GRE) score
- Transcripts from all institutions attended
- $75 application fee
- Background check (conducted by the seminary, may take up to two weeks to complete)
- Additional financial and church documents are required of international students in order to satisfy interrnal and federal requirements.
The admissions committee reserves the right to determine in its sole judgment whether an applicant is a suitable candidate for a specific concentration in the Ph.D. program.
PhD (TE) Degree - 40 semester hours
TE Degree Grid
- 7 semester hours of core courses required for all PhD students

PerfHUD ES: An Introduction
In the mobile game development world, developer studios are discovering that the Tegra chipset offers a huge array of visual features that cannot be found on other mobile platforms.
When developers create games designed to take advantage of Tegra features, they want to use every tool at their disposal to tune the performance of their game. PerfHUD ES is one type of tool that lets developers get the most out of their Tegra-based hardware.
The newest game from Madfinger, Dead Trigger, highlights this eloquently (and by "eloquently", we mean "lots of violent visual effects"). If you aren't too squeamish, we encourage you to check out the video at the bottom of this article that dramatically highlights those differences.
What does PerfHUD ES do?
"Yet again, NVIDIA shows they really know what developers are looking for. This is essential stuff!"
Simon Morris, CTO
Strawdog Studios
PerfHUD ES uses data provided by the OpenGL ES driver and the NVIDIA Tegra GPU to show your GPU performance and highlight bottlenecks. This lets you target optimizations where they are most needed, instead of wasting time with unnecessary optimizations.
Simon Morris, CTO of Strawdog Studios, captured the heart of the tool, "PerfHUD ES is one of those special tools that developers tend to fall in love with. You have to work really smart to get the best out of GPUs on mobile devices and this tool has been a revelation - it shows us exactly where we can improve the quality and performance of our rendering pipeline. The ability to edit and recompile shaders on-the-fly is particularly awesome."
During your debugging, PerfHUD ES provides full access to the state of the OpenGL ES pipeline, related textures and shaders, as well as all rendering states. This helps you quickly spot causes for improper setup and rendering anomalies.
PerfHUD ES uses a client-server model, and the target device must run a special instrumented driver that communicates back to the host via TCP/IP. The PerfHUD ES host runs on any PC (Windows, Mac or linux) that supports OpenGL 1.5 (or higher), but keep in mind that PerfHUD ES for Tegra only supports OpenGL ES 2.0.
PerfHUD ES is available to all Tegra Android Developers. Simply join the Tegra Registered Developer Program and download the Tegra Android Development Pack.
Ok, I downloaded it. Now what?
The Tegra Android Development Pack contains all the basic software you need to setup a full Android development environment on Windows, OSX or Linux, including the Android SDK/NDK, the Eclipse development environment, PerfHUD ES, and several samples.
PerfHUD ES works on a number of "consumer" devices, as well as Tegra "DevKits" provided to key partners. Here are just a few of the devices that support PerfHUD ES:
- ASUS Transformer Prime (TF201)
- ASUS Transformer Pad 300 (TF300)
- HTC One X (International)
- Acer Iconia Tab 500
Getting started with PerfHUD ES
The PerfHUD ES interposer is enabled on the target device with the following command:
adb shell setprop debug.perfhudes 1
This sets the debug.perfhudes property to 1, unleashing the phenomenal cosmic power of PerfHUD ES. Note that this property isn't persistent - you must re-enable it after every boot.
PerfHUD ES requires TCP/IP to communicate to the host system. For this reason, you must make sure Internet permissions are enabled in your application (by adding
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>in the AndroidManifest.xml).
Hello (Visual) World
We want to start off with a very simple demonstration of PerfHUD ES to help get you started. To do this, we are going to use the Globe application as our first application to debug (and let's face it, you have to appreciate the literal interpretation of "Hello World").
Let's start by building the NativeGlobe application in Eclipse. We only cover using Eclipse here but the Tegra Android Development Pack installs this sample by default so you can also check it out there.
For this example, we're going to assume that you've installed the proper USB drivers for your Tegra device (Windows only) and that adb is working properly ('adb devices' from a command shell should list your device). If not, see this Android Developer page for more information.
Open the Tegra Android Samples in Eclipse:
Launch the version of Eclipse installed by Tegra Android Development Pack (found in
C:\NVPACK\eclipseby default).
You will need to select a Workspace for Eclipse. For the Tegra samples, select
- In Eclipse, the first time it is launched, a "Welcome" screen is presented. Before continuing on, make sure you select "Workbench" (the curled arrow icon).
Compile the Tegra Android Samples:
- In Eclipse, compile by going to Project -> Build All.
- If you only get warnings in the "Problems" tab on the bottom panel, move on to the next step.
If you get the error, "The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved":
- Close Eclipse.
- Reopen Eclipse, which should automatically reopen your project.
- Restart at step 1.
- If you got a different error, don't proceed until it is solved. Check here for help: http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html
Configure PerfHUD ES:
- To begin with, open a command shell and enable PerfHUD ES with the following command:
adb shell setprop debug.perfhudes 1
Note that this property is not persistent and must be set each time the device is rebooted. In addition the property must be set before the application is launched.
Run the Sample Application:
- In the Eclipse "Project Explorer" panel, right-click on the "NativeGlobe" project.
- Select Run As -> Android Application. This should automatically install and launch the app on your Tegra developer kit.
Launch PerfHUD ES on the Host:
- Launch the PerfHUD ES Host program on your host PC (typically found in NVIDIA Corporation -> NVIDIA PerfHUD ES Tegra).
- The PerfHUD ES Host will automatically attempt to connect to running applications on the target device using ADB. Note that if you have problems with adb port forwarding, you may need to check that a local firewall is not blocking the port.
Your working application should look like this:
Now that you have PerfHUD ES running, feel free to experiment with the application. Next time we'll dive into the details.
Instrumented debugging always comes with tradeoffs, and while we wish we could offer a truly transparent GPU debugger, there are a couple of small guidelines to remember:
- In the dashboard settings, enabling the "GPU Idle trace" may affect performance. If you don't directly require this particular trace, it's advisable to go ahead and disable it.
- To keep the function call count (and its subsequent timing overhead) to a minimum, you should disable error-checking in your profile build and try to reduce gl calls to a minimum.

Any reason to stop at 2k and not go to 4k?
The low-end Andriod phones (the ones where the carriers do not update the OS, ever) are a plague on the IT industry. We're going to enter into an era of cellular botnets and malware infested devices soon. This isn't Android's fault, rather the result of carriers/manufacturers' hasty TTM and nonexistent life cycle planning. It isn't that the carrier "won't" update these devices, it's that they "can't".
The iPhone was a godsend. Not because it's better, but because "at least I know what to expect, and can still get someone to make retroactive fixes".
Sorry for the off-topic derailment of this thread.
Ontopic: Im glad to see BTRFS maturing, and gaining speeds. its not as fast as ext4 but I definitely think that its usable in a desktop environment now without too much of a penalty, the only thing that bothers me is the possibility for large fragmentations and the fact that discard isnt enabled by default despite BTRFS detecting if its on an SSD automatically. I have an SSD so the fact discard isnt automatic is a bit of an annoyance, though admittedly fragmentation isnt as big of a deal to me since read's are all 1 universal speed unlike with traditional drives. I just always liked the fact that ext4 was good enough to not need a defragmentor most of the time.
Side note: Why is Btrfs so good at threaded IO? Like what the f*ck? Thats a huge jump up from ext4 and xfs. Is it because of BTRFS design or what?
i wonder when butter is gonna released as stable. it's funny that linux managed to ship a graphic server before a filesystem. even though linux is used heavily in the enterprise and a high-end filesystem is very important.
I had an interesting experience a few days ago with an old machine that I was upgrading for a friend. I installed Ubuntu for him 3 years ago and it has run fine. Then he wanted an upgrade, which I did. But the OS wouldn't survive more than a couple of reboots before totally crashing and burning, so serious that I couldn't repair it and had to reinstall. Happened a few times. So finally, I put Ubuntu (actually, Lubuntu) 12.04 on it using XFS as the file system, and it has been fine.
No doubt there's something funny going on with his hardware. But anyway, XFS works and EXT4 doesn't. I didn't try BTRFS. I'm just happy it works and will leave well enough alone. I am curious though if anyone else has seen this?

American Kaitlyn Farrington bested a field that included the past three gold medalists to win the Olympic snowboard halfpipe competition Wednesday.
Australia's Torah Bright, the defending Olympic champion, finished with the silver medal.
Farrington's teammate Kelly Clark, the 2002 gold medalist, won bronze. Clark fell on her first run in the finals and couldn't quite climb over Bright and Farrington in the standings with her second run.
Hannah Teter, who won gold in the event in 2006 and silver in 2010, finished fourth.
The gold was the first Olympic medal for Farrington. The 24-year-old from Sun Valley, Idaho, competed in the 2010 Winter Olympics, but finished seventh in Vancouver.
Farrington won a bronze at the 2014 Winter X Games in superpipe to go along with the silver she won in the event back in 2011. The 24-year-old from Sun Valley, Idaho, finished the 2013 World Cup season fourth in the halfpipe standings, the same as her finish at the 2013 world championships.
She also came into the Olympics with a big victory under her belt, ending Clark's four-event winning streak with a first-place finish in the final event of the Sprint U.S. Grand Prix series just before heading to Sochi.
After winning gold in her Olympic debut in Salt Lake City, Clark finished fourth in 2006 in Turin. She bounced back for a bronze medal in Vancouver four years ago. The bronze she won Wednesday, the third of her Olympic career, gives her more medals in women's halfpipe than any other competior.
Clark, a 30-year-old Vermont native, is also the four-time reigning gold medalist in SuperPipe at the Winter X Games and has medaled in the event seven years in a row and nine out of the past 12.
She also owns six Sprint U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix overall titles, is the reigning 2013 World Cup halfpipe champion and came into the Olympics atop the 2014 World Cup halfpipe standings.
Clark led the field in the qualifying round, scoring a 95 on her first run to advance to the finals. Teter, a 27-year-old Vermonter, also advanced directly to the finals from qualifying, while Farrington topped the field of 12 riders in the semifinals to become one of six to advance.
Rising 17-year-old star Arielle Gold injured herself on a practice run moments before the qualifying round got underway Wednesday and was unable to compete.
The Steamboat Springs, Colo., teen's 20-year-old brother, Taylor Gold, is also competing in the Sochi Games. She is hoping for a 2014 the likes of her 2013, which saw her win the 2013 Grand Prix overall title and the world championship in halfpipe.
The one letdown so far this year for Gold before Wednesday's injury, came at the 2014 Winter X Games, where she finished fourth in superpipe behind U.S. teammates Clark and Kaitlyn Farrington, who won bronze. In 2013, Gold had captured bronze at her first Winter X Games and duplicated that at the European X Games.

I'd like to find some cool scifi where its like Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. Successful bank robbers, maybe ex special forces type, is anything like that out there?
I guess I'll add, ya know is there more stuff like Woodings Retribution Falls? etc

From the original publisher's blurb:
We must be as stealthy as rats in the wainscoting of their society. It was easier in the old days, of course, and society had more rats when the rules were looser, just as old wooden buildings have more rats than concrete buildings. But there are rats in the building now as well. Now that society is all ferrocrete and stainless steel there are fewer gaps in the joints. It takes a very smart rat indeed to find these openings. Only a stainless steel rat can be at home in this environment.

Thanks for this, Jim, I'll check it out.
Anyone else have any ideas?
August 19th, 2012, 11:09 PM #19
I really haven't read a sci-fi book in a while (maybe a year) that has really stayed with me. Last time I was in a bookstore the Sci-Fi section was almost non existent.
I'm looking for books about guys I guess you could call agents or detectives..Just a little bit in the future. They don't have to be saving the world, just guys doing their job..
Books Like:
Nocturne for a Dangerous Man by Marc Matz (whatever happened to him?)
Mandel/Mindstar books by Peter F. Hamilton (not the later books by him)
Retrieval Artist books by Kristine Kathryn Rusch (I don't like her space opera "Boss" books.)
I've read a lot of the old stuff Asimov(robots), Niven(Gil the Arm),Harrison(Stainless Steel Rat) etc.
Other stuff I like that doesn't really fit the agent category..I love the Korval books, Vorkosigan, Honor Harrington (until Weber screwed it up) the Hope books by Feintuch, the Vatta and Serrano series by Elizabeth Moon.
August 20th, 2012, 12:02 AM #20
Leviathan Wakes by James S A Corey has two main characters, one of them a hard-boiled detective from an asteroid station. The action is set not too far into the future, in the Solar System, and includes, beside the detective part, some horror elements and some space opera battles. It is the first of a longer series, but it can be read as stand-alone.
You didn't mention the Takeshi Kovacs books by Richard K Morgan. If you haven't tried them yet, check them out - they fit you criteria very well.

The Vorkosigan series is for young adults. It is really not a believable story in any sense, it is more like a tale. Before Miles himself appears on the scene the series is at least readable. After that, it is superhero time which is very annoying and there is zero excitement. He comes and wins.
I recommend Greg Bear, Alastair Reynolds, Vernor Vinge.

Hi! I'm new over here.
I've been searching for a specific kind of book for some time and hopefully somebody here will have some recommendations. I did use the search function before posting
Ok, I'm searching for a science fiction book that deals mainly with the exploration of a previously unknown, uninhabited planet. If any of you has played the Metroid videogames, then that's what I'm looking for; especially something like Metroid Prime or Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
I want a book in which a single character or a small exploration team lands on an uncharted planet and starts to discover the different lifeforms present, the ruins of ancient civilizations, the struggling fauna and flora, the varying climates, etc.
Most of all I want a book that evolves a feeling of isolation, sense of wonder and slow understanding as the exploration carries on. I'd like pinch of horror or two as well.
I guess what I'm looking for is a planetary romance but with a strong sense of mystery and decay, and mainly uninhabited (at least of sentient beings)
Now, I guess a book like that probably wouldn't have much of a plot, but that's what I'm searching for.
The only thing I've found that's relatively close to what I'm searching for is Helliconia by Brian W. Aldiss, but that's still not exactly what I'd like to read.
I know I'm asking a lot for a first time poster, so thanks in advance. Any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've read a lot of the so called classics and I'm getting a little tired of the "idea story" and scientists being the main characters. The last good scifi that I read was Dune and I haven't really kept up on what good recently in the genre. I'd like some character development and it really could be any sub genre.

Well, thanks a lot to JimF and krisbslick.
I'll definitely be checking out Rendezvous with Rama (it's just about what I was looking for, except the planet part).
I'll try The Legacy of Heorot as well, though it looks like it's out of print; oh, I guess I can get it used...
Anyway, really grateful for the recommendations.

We could use one stud WR, just one!
Did you see what Andre Johnson did today??? That is what we need.
Henne throws for 4 TDs, no INTs and loses.
Matt throws for 0 TDs, 5 INTs and WINS.
Just goes to show it's not just about the QBs, but the team around them. Clearly the Falcons can overcome multiple turnovers because they have a great team on all three phases. The Jags....well not so much!
I'm on team CalDolFan10x14. Join me!
-Dan MarinoI just try to be myself, whatever that is. I don't think about how I'll be remembered. I just want to be consistent over a long period of time. That's what the great players do.
Hey even the best QB prospect in the history of the world is having a tough day in Foxboro. I think Luck has 2 pick 6's, that game went pretty much how I thought it would. Meaning the Pats would completely and totally outclass the vastly overrated Colts.
OH wait, the Colts must be throwing the game as I think they only gave up more than 40 once last year.
If you ask WV im sure he will still slobber on Matt Ryan while uttering how bad RGIII is. gets quite annoying and is quite inaccurate
Here's hoping for the new look dolphins offense.

The Door Within opens in the Washington Post and Fox National TV
Hey, all! I'm not back from the Fantasy 4 Fiction Tour yet! The Washington Post interviewed me about my books, and put the story on the FRONT PAGE!! Can you believe it? I fell out of my chair. This has led to a chain reaction of gigantic proportions--more below. Here's the link for the Post article:
Due to the Front Page article in the Post, Fox News network has asked me to be on National TV this Friday on their Fox and Friends Show. 8:30 am, Eastern time. Tune in if you can!
This has all been too amazing.

I really enjoyed watching the interview. I think that it is great that you are getting this kind of publicity. I read The Door Within trilogy last and loved it and can't wait to read your new series. As a Christian myself I think it is awesome to see a Christian author get praise for his work from the media, and not just criticism because of his beleifs.
July 20th, 2007, 08:46 PM #6
I made sure to set my TiVO to record it this morning. Great job and congratulations Wayne. Should be interesting to see what kind of spike your sales and Web site visits get because of the appearance.
July 20th, 2007, 10:45 PM #7
What a great article! Very nice marketing.
So did you AIM to write sticking to Christian fundamentalist views or was that just good luck in hindsight?
I've seen loads of opportunities for writing Christian or Jewish children's/YA books in the US, but even if I knew what their religious views were, I couldn't pull it off decently/convincingly. I'd feel confined. You have to write from where you are, and what you know and feel, to write genuine stories, IMHO.

Thanks, Rob! All of my books clocked in at the best Amazon ranking I've ever had. Prior to today the highest I've ever been on Amazon was @ 1200. Today all three of The Door Within books went below 1000. Even Isle of Swords (which hasn't released yet) came in at 10,000. National exposure is just staggering in its influence.
Question is, what will the long term impact be?

July 20th, 2007, 11:22 PM #13
So it was purposeful but also from the heart? How lucky are you that the market is perfect!
I'm still waiting for the jaded, sarcastic, socially rebellious market to boom... then my YA will sell more.
July 21st, 2007, 11:07 PM #14
well i did not get to see you on fox i was at work at that time what a bummer LOL glad you got to talk about your books and GOD ...God is so good to us!
i got a frend The Door Within book one will get her the others i know she hooked
July 22nd, 2007, 02:46 PM #15
When I went to Borders on Friday night to get Deathly Hallows, I saw Door Within on the display for What to read while waiting for Potter? What was even more cool was the fact that I got into a discussion with some other Potter fans about Christian Fantasy and some other people joined in on the discussion. I did not feel at all nervous and shy like I usually am, I felt empowered, it was a cool feeling. In the end, 10 copies of Door Within sold b/c of me. Heh! Heh!. Anyways, great to see that the sales on Door Within are at their highest. The interview and all the exposure was at the perfect time when people after reading the last Harry Potter which I found to be a bit lacking, want to find other stuff to read.

Regex Editor for building and debugging regular expressions
Padre provides an easy way to build and analyze regular expressions compatible with Perl 5.
Test Case
The regex editor currently provides a single way to build both regexes and substitutes.
- Open the Regex editor via Tools/Regex? Editor
- At the top you see 5 check-boxes for the modifiers of the regex
- The first window called Regular Expression is where you can type in the regex. By default you will see \w+ in there
- The Replace with text contains Baz
- Original text contains Foo Bar
- Matched text Foo Bar with Foo being red and underline
- Result from replace contains Baz Bar
- Regex \d+ Text: Foo 123 Bar , Expected Match: 123
- Regex \d* Text: Foo 123 Bar , Expected Match: 123 (in 0.84 this marks the whole string)
- Regex empty, Text: Foo 123 Bar , Expected Match: nothing (in 0.84 this marks the whole string)
For ideas install kregexpeditor or regexxer on Linux or try Regex Coach: http://weitz.de/regex-coach/ on Windows See also http://www.regexbuddy.com/
- Support various versions of the perl 5 regexes (5.8, 5.10, 5.12 etc)
- There should be an option (a selector on this window) to decide which regex dialect to support
- (That is, there are certain new features in the regex engine and information about then under the buttons should be displayed along witht the minimum version required)
- Support Perl 6 style regexes
- Probably the regex and substitute part should be separated. At the top should be
- Regular Expression
- Original text
- Matched text
- checkbox to enable/disable substitution
- Replace with text window
