Please, spare us the purist zealotrolling. People are allowed to use the hardware they purchased with their hard-earned money with the software of their choosing.
The sheer amount of people that are willing to trade in opensource drivers for binary drivers here is staggering. It is also totally unrespectfull to the ATI devs who are sticking their necks out for us.
Did you guys ever concider using Windows? It seems you don't care about opensource anyway.
Please, spare us the purist zealotrolling. People are allowed to use the hardware they purchased with their hard-earned money with the software of their choosing.
As for the topic, I'm willing to wait if it works. I've been patient for a long time, and a little more won't kill me (though I might even consider going back to fglrx to improve my experience. You know, if it works with my kernel and X server).
And damn the single minute edit window. Holy crap.
im not much of a game player these days. If however steam, or stardock, or whoever ports games to linux i will buy regardless of if its open source.
Too much stock is put into the state of the drivers. The key thing is Linux is now developed enough for that is is possible steam could port. Which i think this is amazing.
I would have hoped that steam would have open discussions with the community about what they need.
The most interesting thing to find out would be what demand they are expecting from Linux users. How many people have asked for a native Linux client. How many games would like to switch to linux.
I play Valve games on linux just fine with Crossover Games (have the orange box, l4d and l4d2). So obviously it works.
Of couse not all drivers are up to par, but hey, now they can be tested decently. Before HoN I had never heard of anything else requiring GL 2 on linux.
Also, there are quite a number of games that are on the steam store that have linux versions. Not a LOT, but probably enough for a nice start.
Btw, @Zhick, you say that Heroes of Newerth is working with r300g? When did that happen? Last time I tried it crashed after hitting 100% of the game loading screen.
Btw, does anybody know if Valve is capable of tracking the user share that runs steam through WINE on Linux?
I would like to know how many use steam through wine.

Lord of the Rings Animated: What do you like?
Since I'm sure no one would rank the animated versions of Tolkien's stories above Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy, I'm curious to see what you all think of the animated stuff. Which one do you like better? The Rankin Bass version of the Hobbit? The Lord of the Rings animated film? Or the Rankin Bass Return of the King?
December 26th, 2007, 03:29 PM #2
Definitely the Bakshi animated film of Lord of the Rings, from 1978. Though incredibly flawed, the first half in particular is quite faithful to the books... and there are quite a few cool scenes that were re-created later in Jackson's movie. This animated film was also what made me go read the books for the first time, about 12 years ago. Since the movie only goes as far as Helm's Deep (and a sequel was never created) I wanted to know how the story ended.

I really liked the Baski version. It was weird and full of that 60's disco lava lamp FX, but there were many elements that I thought were very good. The Balrog was awesome! Strider had a more kingly (if not homely) bent. But my favorite was the portrayal of Galadriel. She was every bit the mysterious beauty I imagined from the book. That was my only real pet peeve with Jackson and the movies. I respect Cate Blanchett immensely. She is a breathtaking actress.
But, even with clever lighting and post-production enhancement, she does not possess the ethereal, queenly, superiority that Galadriel should have had. And that whole segment where she turned sinister and her voice lowered--that was way overdone. On the other hand, I thought Baski's rendering of Galadriel was Spot On.

Personally I really liked the Return of the King, although the Lord of The Ring version was pretty cool!

I loved the fries! I had a lettuce wrapped burger, it was delicious!
All menu items are gluten free except the buns. I got a lettuce wrapped. Burger and fries. It was delish!
310 NE 78th St., Vancouver, WA 98665
No GF buns, but really good lettuce wraps. Everything is GF on the menu except buns and malt vinegar! Even the Cajun fries are! :-)
3935 Pelham Rd, Greenville, SC 29615
the food is amazing! the staff is so professional and nice everytime! I get my burger in a lettuce wrap and tell them I have an allergy and they immediately change gloves before making my food!
1395- Enterprise Way, Huntsville, AL 35806
Wonderful AND gluten free! I told them GF and they were very happy to comply. Burger with lettuce for my bun and wonderful fries! I'll be eating at Five Guys again!
560 Washington Street, Middletown, CT 06457
Tastes so good I forgot to miss the bun! Lettuce wrap is awesome!
701 N. Milwaukee Ave, Vernon Hills, IL 60061
They were very knowledgable about being gluten free and changed their gloves often.
7405 FM 1960 Rd E, Humble, TX 77346
Great option, without the bun. They have grilled mushrooms and onions at no charge. It really adds pizzaz to a bunless burger! Peanuts are good too!
364 King Street, Charleston, SC 29401
Five Guys finally does a lettuce wrap that truly surrounds the burger. So happy I can eat the fries too.
85D Faunce Corner Road, North Dartmouth, MA 02747
Far from gluten friendly , got really sick ... The server dropped our fries on the counter which just had bread on it and still have them to us not gonna be visting here again
54 Route 17 North, East Rutherford, NJ 07073
You can get the burgers in a lettuce wrap. Everything is gluten free except the buns. They were careful with cross contamination. It's difficult to eat a burger in a lettuce wrap but it was yummy and the fries are great.
118 North Conistor , Liberty, MO 64068
Five guys is always awesome. their fries are GF according to this document. us_ingredient_allergenguide_2014-1.pdf
1539 Hilliard Rome Road, Columbus, OH 43228
Tried Five Guys based on the previous reviews. Ordered online for takeout. I have to say that for a lettuce wrapped burger this was pretty good. A little greasy but otherwise good. I enjoyed the fries as well. This is a good option when everyone is getting a burger and I need someplace I can get one as well. Take out was pretty fast.
2020 West End, Nashville , TN 37203
Really gone down hill recently. And this from a guy who first loved Five Guys in Charlottesville. Meat quality has declined. Fries weren't even good last time I went. The fries were cool, limp, short and had blemishes. We had to ask for aluminum pans in which to cut our burgers. They don't do wraps any more. It's more like a burger salad. I love their Coke machine, but not enough to compensate for everything else.
2616 N. Maize Rd, Unit 100, Wichita, KS 67205
Great food and understanding staff. Careful on the fries if you're sensitive to high fat items! (They were so good though!)
2887 Dixie Highway, Crestview Hills, KY 41017
Fantastic place to get good old-fashioned burgers and fries, and they are right up front about their buns being the only thing they serve that has gluten. That said, the menu is rather limited and kinda pricey, and you shouldn't even walk past the place if you have peanut allergies! We don't have peanut allergies, so our biggest complaint was that it was way too much food!
First off this is fast, greasy food. Don't come here looking for kale chips or a vegan quinoa salad. This IS an awesome place for an old school burger that tastes great. I've eaten here a bunch and just order "no bun on lettuce" and it's all loaded in a bowl. Love the toppings and fries. I haven't gotten sick ever from Five Guys. If you do have a peanut allergy though stay away...they give out free peanuts and shells are everywhere. Great place to spot when traveling as it has super clean restrooms and a friendly staff. Order online and save time...you skip the line.
180 Paseo del Centro, Fresno, CA 93720
Burgers are great in the lettuce wrap. Cross contamination can occur. However since you can see them making your food. If you know what to look for you can firmly direct them and Have a wonderful meal. Expensive ... but delish.
3863 Medina Road, Fairlawn, OH 44333
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOOD! I told them I had to be gluten free and they changed gloves and put my burger in a tray with any toppings you want! fries are to die for and gluten free! a bit fast paced you gotta read the menu quickly and be ready to go BUT SO WORTH IT ! 8 MINS and you have your order! ♡♡♡♡♡
2130 East Arbors Drive, Charlotte, NC 28262
Having been gluten free for a year, Five Guys has NEVER gotten me sick. When you order lettuce wrap they ALWAYS ask if it's allergy related. Saying yes means the are very careful and take precautions to make there is no cross contamination. Fries are naturally gluten free and are cooked in a fryer that only cooks fries. Which is why you can NOT eat any fries from any of the big chains.
11670 Commercial Drive #600, Fishers, IN 46038
They have two GF options for burgers: wrapped in lettuce and it a container. I like it wrapped in lettuce. If you have to have GF bun I'd suggest going somewhere or bringing your own
75 Reaville Avenue, Flemington, NJ 08822
The entire staff is always friendly and extremely accommodating when addressing or son's GF needs (celiacs disease). Not to mention the food and restaurant are always top notch. I would have given this particular one six stars if i could. Highly recommended!
121 Federal Road, Brookfield, CT 06804
Like most Five Guys, this place is fantastic. I've been visiting this location for over a year now with no problem. They are always willing to do a lettuce wrap and their french fries are not only super tasty, but guaranteed to be gluten free as it's the only thing they are allowed to fry. The service has always been great as well.
24004 Southwest Freeway, Rosenberg, TX 77471
I can't say enough good things about this place. They handled my gluten and wheat allergy with extreme carefulness. The lady who took my order offered to make mine into a bowl or wrap with lettuce. She informed the people in the kitchen of my allergy and also wrote it on the order. The two workers who handled my food changed their gloves so they would be new. They are very careful and so caring! I didn't get sick here.
487 N. Moorpark Rd., Thousand Oaks, CA 91360
Celiacs can always count on a decent burger and fries at Five Guys nation wide. We are full time RV'ers and travel coast to coast. We've come to expect Five Guys as the go-to place if all else fails (ie hard to find a dedicated gluten free place in small town midwest). The only improvement might be to start offering sweet potato fries.
7252 N. Academy Blvd. Unit 120, Colorado Springs, CO 80920
Great GF lettuce wrap burger and fries. Just really pricey!
614 Missouri 291, Lee's Summit, MO 64086
Five guys offers bunless burgers and hot dogs. When my order was taken, they asked if the bunless request was due to lifestyle or an allergy and I explained I am allergic to wheat. They changed their gloves and the person who handled my husband's food, which did include a bun, did not handle mine. They bagged my food separately and were very conscientious when handling my food and I did not get sick afterwards.
1810 Wilmington Pike, Glen Mills, PA 19342
Wish they had a GF bun, but overall food and prep is great!
3530 Boulevard des Sources, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, QC H9B 1Z9, Canada H9B 1Z9
My friends have been raving about Five Guys finally decided to have their lettuce wrapped burger and fries... Absolutely delicious.... The only non gf items are their buns and the fries are absolutely delicious!!!
43 East Route 59, Nanuet, NY 10954
Good burger , hot dog, French fries. Have nicer gotten sick. Very friendly.
420 Westport Ave, Norwalk, CT 06851
Option to go without bun or wrapped in lettuce. A bit messy but so delicious. Very friendly staff. I don't know if they have a dedicated fryer for the French fries. Free peanuts while you wait too.
No gluten free buns, and it's a sandwich shop. :-(
2467 Nicholasville Rd., Suite 120, Lexington, KY 40503
Always an awesome choice for celiacs! They are so accommodating!
12555 Castlemoor Dr, Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Good burgers and fries.
1856 Boulderstone Way, Cary , NC 27519
Very friendly, took extra-care with my order!
58 Summer Street, Boston, MA 02110
FIVE GUYS FRIES! They're delicious! They announce your allergy. They don't have GF buns but will make your dogs or burgers and place them in a container. It's my guilty pleasure food. Being a newly diagnosed celiac, I miss "normal" foods. This is one of those fast food places that care enough to be safe. They will change gloves, answer questions and give you too many fries in the bag. Dare you to eat just one of them!
1146 East Fort Union Blvd., Midvale, UT 84047
their pickles are NOT gluten free.
4810 Carlisle pike, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050
Excellent burgers and fries! Staff is extremely careful to avoid cross contamination.
810 Kemper Rd, Springdale, OH 45246
They understand Gf and cross contamination. Will change gloves if you ask. Fries are GF.
3124 Kathleen Avenue, Greensboro, NC 27408
Great fast food option for a celiac. They always take care with my order. The fries are awesome. I always get a burger with no bun. The only thing that would make them better is rolling out a gluten free bun.
500 Southpark Center, Cleveland, OH 44136
so incredibly vigilant with changing gloves and ensuring safety
16230 Summerlin Road #201, Fort Myers, FL 33908
Tell them you have Celiac and make your whole order GF. Ask them to change gloves. Watch while they prepare your food to ensure nothing goes wrong. The only fry French fries in their fryers. Buns go on one grill and the meat is cooked on a different grill. Talking to manager always helps too.
1914 North Roan Street #101, Johnson City, TN 37601
I had always loved 5 guys before I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and probably still would. However, the cheese they put on their burgers is American and is not gf. I ordered this and had someone deliver it only too later realize that I forgot thow ask about the cheese. SO the low rating is partially MY fault but I did tell the girl who took my order that I needed it to be gf. She seemed to have no idea what I was talking about. That isn't really shocking considering that most off the population doesn't know about GF but being that they were listed on this site I thought maybe the staff had been trained. If they are someone had an off day, which left me hungry and sorry I had taken the chance. I gave 3 stars because either the fries are awesome.
4821 New Broad St., Orlando, FL 32814
I really enjoy Five Guys. They use the Lettuce for the bun. All is really tasty.
120 Tom Hill Sr. Blvd, Macon , GA 31210
They did a wonderful job and the fries were delicious!!
23050 Via Villagio Pkwy, Estero, FL 33928
We eat at five guys across the country because they market themselves as gluten free without the bun. Usually that's the case. This particular five guys had bun crumbs all over the food prep counter. The people who prepared our food never changed their gloves. Its just as well because the cashier got our orders wrong. We asked for burgers wrapped in lettuce but received burgers in trays which worked out because had they wrapped them in lettuce on the food prep counter our order would've been contaminated with gluten. Do not recommend this one.
2240 NW 19th Street, #900, Boca Raton, FL 33431
Excellent option for gluten free option. They were helpful and changed their gloves to handle the gluten free food. My son was so happy to eat good fries and a plain hamburger.
1424 N. Meacham, Schaumburg, IL 60173
This is the only Five Guys I have ever gone to. And I have gone with my son (who is also celiac) and my daughter (who is not) several times. Not only are they always careful about separating and putting on new gloves regarding our orders, they are super friendly. I don't know what they use for their training or hiring practices, but more places should adopt them. Never had a cc issue, always top notch customer service, and delicious food to boot. Worth the price. Really love these guys.
15435 Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85260
They were very friendly and helpful with their allergy protocol!
1512 Western Ave, Albany, NY 12203
A regular cheeseburger here is seven dollars. The regular fries, which is very large, is 3.50. And a soda is two more dollars. One hot dog with cheese and no bun is almost 5 dollars by itself. So you can easily spend $12 or more for one person, and for that they serve you food in a greasy paper bag. And you have to sit under bright fluorescent lights. The food is good but not really that much better than a place like Wendy's. I'd rather pay half the price and eat off a tray at Wendy's instead of eating at five guys out of a greasy paper bag. But obviously the catch is Wendys isn't gluten-free. So that's the only reason I would eat here instead.
2606 Cedar Hills Blvd., Beaverton, OR 97005
Service was horrible! I ordered gf veggi and it came on a bun took it back and they told me we don't have gluten free here. the girl who remade my sandwich kept rolling her eyes at me and didn't change her gloves so I told them they need to change her gloves and she really got sassy with the sighs and rolling of the eyes. they have no clue DO NOT eat here!!!
20002 Route #19, Cranberry Township, PA 16066
I eat here all the time, they are fantastic. They do not fry anything but fries so they are safe (and delicious). They are very good about dealing with a gluten allergy, so much so that they are very comfortable with it.

Is it possible for a HW agnostic OS like Linux to beat a HW specific OS when it comes to Power Consumption. I assume that Linux would require quite some tweaking to perform the same.
Phoronix: Fedora 17 Doesn't Change The Apple MacBook Pro
Following yesterday's OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion vs. Ubuntu Linux benchmarks and the OS X vs. Linux power consumption results after that, some wondered whether Ubuntu was to blame for the poor Linux showing on the Apple hardware. Unfortunately, Ubuntu isn't alone and here's some fresh data from Fedora 17 on the MacBook Pro...
Is it possible for a HW agnostic OS like Linux to beat a HW specific OS when it comes to Power Consumption. I assume that Linux would require quite some tweaking to perform the same.
Michael, could you rerun the power tests under Fedora 17 KDE? Dont have to post an article about it if you dont want, but just a link to the results would be nice. I ask because Compiz/Unity have been refactored like crazy in the recent year or so, Gnome (mutter) got a major makeover with the 3.x, im curious to see what Kwin is doing since that codebase has been in the "optimization" stage of development for a couple of years now, plus Martin has even made a few blog posts directly related to Kwin/KDE power management. Atleast this would help in regards to narrowing down what is causing the increased power usage, whether its terminal-userspace (background processes) vs graphical userspace (Gnome/KDE/Unity) vs all in the kernel.
It doesn't make sense at all if the author used opensource graphics driver for testing. It's well known that opensource drivers suck at power management.
I'm surprised that Michael hasn't done his research on this.
Obviously the power savings on a Macbook Pro will come from using the on-board Intel HD graphics, and disabling the discrete graphics. To do this, you need to:
1. Boot in EFI mode
2. Switch GMUX so that the Intel card will output to the screen
3. Disable discrete GPU (ATI/NVidia depending on model)
It's not bad with kernel 3.5, but earlier kernels required patches to make this work properly.
I can now achieve 12W idling on my 2011 Macbook Pro and about 5 hrs battery life!
This said let's see KDE and also Windows results out of curiosity.
Why is Windows 8 not part of the upcoming comparison? The RTM version has been out for over a week. It's only fair especially since you're comparing Ubuntu 12.10 which is very far from being released officially. It's pretty easy to get a Windows 8 ISO from TechNet (I can provide that for you), then get a CDKey from a torrent just to install it. As long as you don't activate the OS, the pirated key shouldn't be a problem. You can go 30 days before you need to activate a Windows 8 installation with a CDKey. Unfortunately, you need to put in a BS key before the install starts unlike Windows 7.
2 versions of OS X, 2 versions of Ubuntu, 2 versions of Windows. Makes perfect sense.

4. Kindness
"Do you always give your dead to the fire?" one of the soldiers asked me. His faint accent told me he was from Lossarnach; the gentle lilt in his tone was not unlike Ioreth's.
"No," I replied. "There are tombs, usually."
He considered this for a moment. "That sits ill with me, the thought of lying between the stones." He shook his head. "When I die, I want to be covered in earth. It seems the more natural way of things." He closed another pair of glassy eyes with a gentle pass of his hand. "Meaning no offense to your Minas Tirith customs, of course," he quickly added.
"None taken."
"We might all have a tomb of stone, soon," one of the other men put in, "whether we wish it or not."
The man from Lossarnach shot a sharp glance at the other soldier. "Hush!"
We went back to work.
I had never been a particularly imaginative girl, but now that I was finally removed from childhood, my mind began to bloom with subterfuges and fantasies. These men had never been alive, I convinced myself, and if I followed far enough along that route, then the next natural conclusion was that they were not men, at all. The dead were nothing but weights that pinned the living to the earth.
But at night, I dreamt that the corpses sat up from their shrouds and spoke to me. I was not frightened during the dream, but when I awoke I could not go back to sleep. I lay staring into the darkness, and then I got up and went to the kitchens to make sweet rolls.
The dough was solid comfort in my fingers, and I savored the graininess of the flour on my palms. In the silence of the empty kitchens, I tried my best to slap the soft mass down to the tabletop with impressive, authoritative smacks the way that Cook used to, but I could not get the rhythm quite right. Had Cook been there, she would have scolded me, then brushed her thick fingers gently against my cheek in that peculiar manner of hers, marking me with the lightest trace of flour. But she was gone from the Houses, now, along with all the kitchen-staff, cleaning-men and serving-maids.
I had known, of course, that everyone not needed directly for the war would have to be cleared out. Still, I had felt a pang of shock on that morning after the last evacuations when I came into the kitchens and found her gone, for she had ruled over these large, warm rooms as surely as the Steward himself governed Minas Tirith. She was a formidable woman with big hands, and no one really seemed to know what her name was, or if indeed she had one to begin with. She moved about swiftly with sharp orders on her tongue, always accompanied by the clang of pots and pans, and no one dared contradict her.
But children were her weakness, particularly the nervous, shy young boys and girls who arrived at the Houses to begin their apprenticeships. She would wink conspiratorially at us, and press an apple or a bit of honey cake into our hands, and we adored her in turn. The group of apprentices with which I had entered had been the last one of normal size to come to the Houses. In the years that followed, the numbers declined rapidly, although in truth they had been steadily dwindling since my own mother had been a girl. There were no questions about the boys, for more and more were going for soldiers with each passing season, but the dearth of girls was a small mystery. With the marked lack of children in the Houses, my peers and I had been destined to remain always as Cook's "babes," even if by now we were nineteen and twenty and twenty-one.
Now I sighed, because the kitchens were empty, and because I knew my dough wouldn't be quite right. It never was, really, but I was resolved to die with sweet rolls in my stomach. At the sound of footfalls, I looked up to see one of my fellow "babes" enter the room—Valacar's apprentice.
"Hello, Laeron."
"Oh—hello," he replied, looking startled to see me. In the years we had known one another, Laeron had grown from a nervous, lanky young boy to a nervous, lanky young man. I suspected that the Warden had paired him with Valacar in hopes that Laeron might absorb some of that surgeon's calm, decisive nature for himself—though if that were the case, it did not seem to have worked very well thus far.
"How is your fever?"
"Ah…finally broken, thank you." He walked over to a set of small cabinets that stood against the wall and began to rummage around. "I'm going back to work, soon. Just making some tea, to be sure that the sickness stays away for good."
"An excellent idea."
"Mm…" he nodded quickly and flicked his gaze over to me. "Would you like some, too, then?"
"No, thank you. Do you want a sweet roll when they're finished?"
"That's sweet rolls?" he said, turning around to eye the dough in my hands. "Yes, please, of course." And then he dropped the tea-kettle lid, which fell to the floor with a resounding clatter.
When his tea had finished brewing, he sat across from me, hunched over the steaming cup while I formed the dough into rolls.
"You were with Valacar this afternoon, were you not?" he asked cautiously after several silent minutes.
"Yes, I was." I set down another finished roll.
"Nothing…happened, did it?" I could see his fingers twitch as they gripped the mug.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing out of sorts, say."
"No," I swallowed, and pinched the next handful of dough so tightly that it was good as ruined, and I had to start over again. "Nothing out of sorts. Why?"
"Because, well…he was called up to speak with Lord Aradîr today. In the Master's offices." He took a hurried sip of tea. "Aradîr seldom calls anyone up to meet with him like that. And even when he comes down to make a visit to the Houses, he rarely speaks to Valacar. If ever there's a problem with the staff, it's the business of the Warden. Everyone knows that."
"And Valacar did not say why he was summoned?"
"No. It sounded as though he might not know, himself. Although he never tells me anything, anyway." He took another sip. "At any rate, he might have been more likely to tell you. He likes you better, I think," he added quickly.
"That can't be true, Laeron."
"Today he said that you could be argumentative, at times…"
I set down another roll. "I am not argumentative!"
"…but he was smiling a bit, when he said it." Laeron rotated the cup in his thin anxious hands. So different from his teacher. I remembered the way Valacar had looked as he dragged his knife over the whetstone this afternoon. A model surgeon, calm and decisive. Had those qualities served him poorly today? "Keep that close, will you? The business with Aradîr."
"Yes. Yes, of course." When I had returned to the surgery corridor after sitting in the gardens, the man was dead and Valacar was pulling a sheet over him. We avoided one another's eyes for a long time after that.
Naturally, the rolls came out burnt. Laeron was polite about it.
"Well, it's not so bad, really," he said. "They're warm, that's the thing. Much better than all that dry bread." Somewhere below us, through layers of stone, a low rumble drifted up from the battle.
"And much blacker," I replied. I took another bite. It was the aftertaste, more than the actual flavor, that was a problem. Just a hint of charred bitterness, which was like a sweetness that had tried too hard and ruined itself. That was fitting, I decided.
"I might go down," he said abruptly. "Down to the battle, I mean."
I stopped mid-chew. "What? To fight?"
"Well, why else?"
"But you are needed here."
"They also need men on the walls. Maybe even more than we need surgeons."
His fingers drummed lightly against the table top. I wondered if he had ever even held a sword. "Laeron…would you send me down to the battle?"
"You? Of course not!" he snorted. But then my meaning fell into place, and he stared into his mug. "That's not the same."
"Well, forgive me, but you're no more a warrior than I am!"
He looked up at me again. "Well, I think that…well, there's a choice, you see. And I think I would rather at least try to help, in the end, than wait here and…" He trailed off.
"And be slaughtered, you mean?" I stared at him.
"That wasn't what I meant!" Another rumble came up from the battle, and then we were both silent. His hands still clutched nervously at his cup of tea, as if seeking a point of anchor there. For the Valar's sake, Laeron, I thought, just be still for a moment. Just one moment. The wish was as bitter and urgent as the burnt taste in my mouth.
Strange, the things I wanted. Before all of this, I could see all my desires spooled out before me for miles and miles, the languid wants of someone who believed firmly in the coming year, and the year after that, and the year after that. I had wanted a dress like the elegant red gown I had glimpsed in the milliner's shop; I wanted my brothers and cousins to be old enough so that they would cease running wildly through the house; and I wanted, one day, to have a baby girl who would fall asleep in my arms. But now life was as narrow as the aisle between the sickbeds, and if the things I currently wished for had shrunk to match that proportion, then the wishes themselves had doubled in force and clarity. I wanted to work my hands in the dough until my fingers cramped and I forgot the warmth of fresh blood. Lying in the darkness beside Fíriel, I wanted to roll over and bury my face in the back of her neck and breathe chamomile all night. I wanted to go back and find that injured soldier in the gardens once more. And more than anything else I wanted my mother to be here. Just to see her again.
But I was greedy, and I knew it.
"If I do go," Laeron began quietly, "do you think you might… Well… Would you tell Elloth goodbye, for me?"
I put my elbows up on the table so that I could rest my head between the heels of my hands. "You tell her, Laeron. Tell her, yourself."
"Or…" he said, and his mouth might have twitched a little, "I could just give her one of these sweet rolls."
"Yes," I replied. "And she'd love you forever."
Even in the dark I knew the southeast gardens well, and after leaving the kitchens I cut through them to go to the south ward. Picture a rough cross within a circle, and you have the shape of the Houses of Healing; the buildings form the cross's arms, branching out from the center atrium, and the gardens, in turn, fill out the circle in the spaces between. No few Wardens and healers have questioned the efficiency of this design over the years, but so many parts of the White City are set in stone, in both theory and in fact, and so the Houses stand more or less as they always have.
A man was sitting on the ground by the nearest entrance to the south ward, and as I came closer I recognized him. He had been brought in with a foot wound two days ago, and now he was seated with his back against the wall with his legs stretched out before him. As soon as he had been able, he had sat up in bed with a knife and began to silently whittle little figures out of odd scraps of wood he had somehow procured, one after the other, his face blank as he worked. The figures themselves had no faces at all. They were plain and crude, all more or less the size of a child's palm. They did not have any sort of balance to them, and so could not stand up by themselves; he set row after row of them lying either on their backs or their fronts. Because they had no faces, it was impossible to tell which.
He appeared to be carving at this very moment, though I could not think how he could manage it in this lack of light. He looked up as I approached.
"Would you like a sweet roll?" I asked him. I was carrying the more salvageable specimens in a knotted-up cloth bundle. "They're burnt, but only a little."
"Well, that's good of you," he replied. His voice was slow and rough, as if he had just woken up from a long sleep. He put down the knife and the wood scrap. "Come over here." I did, and he looked up at me through the darkness. "I know you. Don't I?"
"I was working in the wards when you came in."
"Well, perhaps there was some other time, as well. Busy girl, are you?"
"I suppose so."
"And you were born here?"
"Busy Minas Tirith girl," he nodded, as if he had just discovered something important. "And did they make you stay here?"
"No. No, I wanted to."
"A brave one, then." He gave one more strange, self-congratulatory nod. "Does what needs to be done." He inclined his head to one side. "May I ask you one more thing?"
"All right." This was getting tiresome.
I had to lean in because his voice was low. As he spoke, he took a bit of the cloth at the hem of my skirt and pinched it between his thumb and forefinger.
"No, I don't think so," I replied when he was finished. I stepped backwards and pulled my skirt from his grip. This was not the first time I had been propositioned.
"With some of them, it's not really their fault," Fíriel had told me. "Men are lonelier creatures than women." She gave me a meaningful look. "Depending on how many you get, you can afford to be selective." She had smiled slyly while she watched my face as I tried to determine whether or not she was being serious, and then she had walked away.
The man sitting below me did not change his expression at all, but simply picked up the knife and figure and went back to work.
"Did you know that the Gates have been breached?" he said. I stared at him. "So I don't see what you're holding out for."
I dug my fingernails into my palms and turned to go inside the ward, but his next words froze me.
"You don't know kindness, little one. You can't tell kindness from killing."
I drew a sharp breath and turned back towards him, which was, of course, what he had wanted. He smiled horribly and pressed the tip of his knife into the little piece of wood in his fingers. Whatever he knew and however he knew it, it meant little if we were all to die soon, anyway. But now I realized I could see him more clearly; I could see that his hands were strangely mottled, and that his face was drawn, and I realized, too, that I felt warmer than I had in days. There was the sound of horns, distant but unmistakable. I turned away swiftly and passed through the south ward, and from there I ran to the eastern walls, where a score of others had already gathered: The Sun had risen, and Rohan had come at last.

Richard Milhous Nixon
Jean-Claude Dessart/Reuters
Richard M. Nixon 1913-1994
Richard Milhous Nixon, the 37th President of the United States, was the only President in more than two centuries of American history to resign from office. He was driven from office by the Watergate scandal, resigning in the face of certain impeachment on August 9, 1974. He often acknowledged that the event would inevitably stain his pages in history.
Yet Mr. Nixon, one of the half dozen pivotal figures of American politics in the quarter century that followed World War II, wrought foreign policy accomplishments of historic proportions. He reopened American relations with China in 1972. And he began the rapprochement with the Soviet Union with the signing of the first treaty limiting the potentially deadly nuclear arms race.

From Afar; An Indomitable Man, an Incurable Loneliness
In a public career that lasted for nearly 50 years after he first won election to Congress in 1946, Richard Nixon had seemed indomitable (or, to the many who did not love him, relentless), returning again and again to prominence after defeats and a disgrace that would have finished other politicians.April 24, 1994 washingtonNews

After Decade, Nixon is Gaining Favor
When Richard M.

A decade later he has emerged at 71 years of age as an elder statesman, commentator on foreign and domestic affairs, adviser to world leaders, a multimillionaire and a successful author and lecturer honored by audiences at home and abroad.August 5, 1984 usNews

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert.
In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Here you will find tons of information about healthy eating and incorporating the principles of healthy nutrition into your daily life. Built around Dr. Cederquist's nutritional foundation for healthy weight loss, these articles place a wealth of information right at your fingertips.
The typical American diet is very high in sodium and the majority of the sodium does not come from the salt shaker, but rather from processed and restaurant foods. Foods that don't even taste salty can still have very high sodium content. The average amount of sodium in the American diet is around 4,000 mg and sometimes much higher.
So what is a good amount of sodium? Many physicians and health authorities think a better level of sodium in the diet is around 2,400 mg per day. People with severe heart disease may have a further sodium restriction of 1,000 mg a day which can be a real challenge. Excess sodium is thought to increase blood pressure and contribute to cardiovascular disease.
At BistroMD, we work very diligently to limit the amount of sodium in our meals while still keeping them moist and tasty. We recommend you add salt (or a salt substitute) to our lower-sodium entrees rather than having high amounts in the food that you cannot adjust.
Just answer a few questions to figure out your weight loss goals and we'll provide
solutions to help you achieve life-transforming wellness. Our diet delivery program
is a real life tool to help you lose weight.

In Pride of Nations, you have to maintain your forces each turn.
This is called upkeep, and should you fail to pay your men or spend goods to keep your war materials in good shape, problems will start to appeas, like a loss of cohesion for example. Campaigning will also be costlier to your troops, so if you want to reduce this spending, there is always the option to garrison them (fortress units, a special type of unit that is almost immobile, except by train, is also the cheapest to maintain while powerful in defense).
But there are more resources to spend than just money, as if you needed more! Coal, one of the preeminent resources of the era, will have to be watched over with great care. Coal is used in the game for many things. First, there is the industrial usage. Few of your industries will be able to run without coal, and no industry, no place under the sun either! Then you need coal to move your ships. Not all, as many nations start in 1850 with a significant portion of their fleet powered by sail only. But developed nations were building more and more steam ships, powered by coal furnaces. Warships and merchant fleets will soon all use coal for power, and this will place an even bigger emphasis on the need to maintain a good source of this asset for your country. However, remember that ships that dont move dont use coal, so this is intelligent upkeep here. We wont make the game spend your coal for ships that stay in harbor
This need for sources of coal will also make you build coaling stations around the world, should you have access to some lands free of any other western power. The need to build coaling stations for their ships was one of the motivations to grab colonies for European powers,. Rest assured though, you can also secure supply rights in other countries, so as to be able to use their facilities.
And last but not least, railways. Having a developed rail net is good for your economic power, because productivity will greatly benefit from it. But for each region with a railway, there will be a cost in coal to pay every turn, to represent civilian traffic. Thats not all though, as PON features many special orders for your troops, one being to move by rail. The rail pool you can use depends on the extent of your rail network, and troops moving by rail will also place an extra burden on your coal reserves. Choices will be difficult on how to use coal, but also very interesting to make!

Dells bests previously unbeaten Chargers
In a span of roughly four minutes, the Sioux Falls Christian boys saw their state tournament hopes dashed with a feverish Dell Rapids Quarriers run in the fourth quarter to drop the Chargers 67-63 in the District 6A championship Friday night at the Elmen Center in Sioux Falls.Undefeated entering the matchup, SFC led 49-43 with just under six minutes remaining before a leaner by Cole Langer jumpstarted the Quarriers, who are one step closer to a third consecutive state tourney berth.Chargers senior guard Cody Van Holland followed with a 3-pointer on the next possession, but that would be the only S.F. Christian answer for some time as Dell Rapids ripped off 13-straight points to take a six-point lead with 1:50 to play."We've been shooting the ball a little bit better lately," said Quarriers coach Jason Fersdahl, whose team found offense from almost everywhere during the key stretch. "A lot of teams try to pack it in on us and it opens up some things on the outside. And the more shots we can hit from the perimeter, the more it's going to open up the inside again."The Chargers cut the lead to three in the final 30 seconds and pulled within two after Bryce Koch hit 1 of 2 free throws on the next Dells trip.However, an easy layup by Ty Hoglund sealed the win for Dell Rapids and gave the Chargers their first loss of the season.
Langer finished with 15 points while Koch had 24 and Jacob Morris 11, including a pair of long 3s to give the Quarriers a jolt in the second quarter."Bryce and Cole are our senior leaders and they bring a calming influence to the floor, and I think our other guys felt that tonight," Fersdahl said. "Ty and Jacob definitely stepped up and hit some big shots when we needed them in the first half."Koch was especially effective in terms of neutralizing 6-6 center Jordan Baker, who imposed his will on the Quarriers (17-5) in the previous meeting with 11 points and 19 rebounds.Baker was held to single-digits in both categories while battling foul trouble on Friday."Bryce did a good job on him all night," Langer said, recognizing an all-around team effort. "Jacob was hitting some deep 3s and Bryce just dominated the paint."

Rated 4.4 out of 5Â by 31 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Theozralian All too much I got this in the black and just found it to be all too much. I normally love lace and love a maxi skirt but at 5'7' this wasnt maxi and wasnt midi... a bit inbetween those. also it weights a lot and i just found it too volumous and made me look heavy. Also at the back theres are lace straps #for want of a better word# across the back and i have booty so i found the skirt didnt sit flat and bubbled. It wasnt tight but the detail made the fit odd. Wouldnt recommend if you are particularly curvy, the different coloured lace at the sides just made me look wider than i am - I'm pretty much a classic hourglass and am sending it back as i think theres more flattering skirts out there for moi... 12.5.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jeg Dreamy I am way too old to say this makes me feel like a fairy princess, but.......!!!!! It is simply beautiful. The material is gorgeous, the cut is divine, what more can I say? Lots! Having read the other recviews, let me add a bit. I ordered the Tea color. It is a very rich cream color, leaning toward a peachy pink. It is a beautiful color. The skirt is quite weighty, which just adds to the fairy princess experience for me. : ) Despite its weight, I will probably still try to wear it in warmer weather. I am normally a small, but based on previous reviews I ordered an xs, and it fits beautifully. I am just 5'2" so it falls at my ankles. I bought a pair of saddle colored boots to wear with it--so much for the fairy princess! I am actually planning to wear this for New Years Eve--it simply makes me feel beautiful. I am so happy with this skirt. 12.27.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by gowa not so much.. i loved this skirt! until i got it in the mail. its not a creamy white color, it's actually a pinkish coral color. the detailing is beautiful, but it felt like a costume when i had it on. i'm always a small, but the small felt really roomy and loose around my hips, let alone my waist. its really pretty, but it didn't work for me. maybe for halloween. returned! 12.22.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by katieh Wonderful This skirt is simply fantastic. I tried both M and L, but opted for the size down. I wanted this skirt to sit easily at my natural waist, so a size down did the trick. The length hit me just like it does the model at 5'9". I decided to get the black because it was a little less sweet and girly than the cream, and I really liked the contrast with the charcoal lace. This skirt is very well made, beautiful, and special. I had some much fun twirling around in this skirt all afternoon. 11.25.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by waterloggedButterfly Lovely! When i saw this online I instantly fell in love!! I got my normal size (XS) and I think it fits fine. I guess I could see it maybe having a bit too much room in the butt, but I don't think it's that big of a deal. The skirt is beautiful and very romantic feeling. I wear it to family get togethers and everyone loves it, but I also wear it out to shows & clubs and it works nicely too. It is definately more pink than beige, and a touch shiny, but it just adds beauty to it. I wear it with the Joe lace up boots (or whatev they're called) Perfect :) 1.21.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by elizatag why pink???? I too say gorgeous....everything is perfect...the size is great, small, sits on my hips which I love. lace is definitly beautiful and put together great...My only disappointmen is the color...I wish it was truly ivory or white or sand but PINK???????? i WANTED TO ASK SOMEONE IF i WASH IT IN CLOTHES SOAP THAT HAS BLEACH IN IT IF MAYBE THE PINK WILL COME OUT.....I love the skirt too much to send it back and not have any so I will work with the pink if I have to but I cn't wear any of my ivory, etc. clothes with it because it shows up even more that there is a pink hue to it....If I thought it looked like antique lace I would love it even more but jt doesn't in my eyes.....also just got the rain drop tee today also and love that too...soooooooo soft and light weight.....always love fp clothes...have for years....enjoy everyone.....:) 8.30.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by flynn0131 gorgeous Absolutely stunning skirt, better than I expected....LOVE! I'm a Australian size 8 and ordered the xs - perfect sits just on the waistline (how I like my skirts) with no bump at the back as others have described. Perfect length on me, ankle length so that I can show off my boots, and not drag on the ground with flat shoes. Gorgeous colour - a little yellower/peachier than picture, what I would call an antique cream, I like it better than the picture which looks white to me. Wouldn't hesitate to purchase again, my new favourite! 8.27.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by gauri Favourite I can see why this is such a popular skirt of FP. Its BEAUTIFUL! The lace is dreamy, and the slip underneath stops it from being sheer; its soft and comfortable. I got so many compliments when I wore it. Its not as long as in the picture, and I wear it low on my waist. Team it up with Rockabilly Raglan T-shirt and its perfect!!! Its going to be a treasured buy. 8.26.2013

In the new issue of Regulation, economist Pierre Lemieux argues that the recent oil price decline is at least partly the result of increased supply from the extraction of shale oil. The increased supply allows the economy to produce more goods, which benefits some people, if not all of them. Thus, contrary to some commentary in the press, cheaper oil prices cannot harm the economy as a whole.

Great cover
I purchased this to cover an Ethan Allan 96 inch couch. It fit perfectly and I love the Waverly print. The tea stain was a little darker than the picture shows but I still love it.
Beautiful and well made. My mom gave me a chair she had for many years. It had good bones but needed a new dressing. The T-cushion, relaxed fit-fit the bill! Thank you for good quality!
Sofa Cover
I could not be happier with the slipcovers I recently purchased in the Ballad Bouquet collection. I bought both the sofa and love seat slipcovers. They are beautiful and fit exceptionally well. The quality of the material exceeded my expectations. I chose the Robin's egg blue. The flower color is muted, which is what I had hoped would be the case.
Love this sofa cover bought 2 to make matching pillows made 5 good sized pillows and with the ruffled bottom made a bed skirt with. Still have extra material left. Love the quality of material. My room looks so cozy.

Sometime around the middle of the past century, telephone executive Chester Barnard imported the term "decision making" from public administration into the business world. There it began to replace narrower terms, like "resource allocation" and "policy making," shifting the way managers thought about their role from continuous, Hamlet-like deliberation toward a crisp series of conclusions reached and actions taken. Yet, decision making is, of course, a broad and ancient human pursuit, dating back to a time when people sought guidance from the stars. From those earliest days, we have strived to invent better tools for the purpose, from the Hindu-Arabic systems for numbering and algebra to Aristotle's systematic empiricism to Friar Occam's advances in logic to Francis Bacon's inductive reasoning to Descartes' application of the scientific method. A growing sophistication with managing risk, along with a nuanced understanding of human behavior and advances in technology that support and mimic cognitive processes, has improved decision making in many situations. Even so, the history of decision-making strategies has not marched steadily toward perfect rationalism. Twentieth-century theorists showed that the costs of acquiring information lead executives to make do with only good-enough decisions. Worse, people decide against their own economic interests even when they know better. And in the absence of emotion, it's impossible to make any decisions at all. Erroneous framing, bounded awareness, excessive optimism: The debunking of Descartes' rational man threatens to swamp our confidence in our choices. Is it really surprising, then, that even as technology dramatically increases our access to information, Malcolm Gladwell extols the virtues of gut decisions made, literally, in the blink of an eye?

Artificial intelligence; Business history; Business intelligence; Decision analysis; Decision making; Group dynamics; Human behavior; Information systems; Managing uncertainty; Organizational behavior; Quantitative analysis; Risk management; Technology

The same ideas once trotted out to justify opposition to the abolition of slavery are now routinely trotted out to justify opposition to the abolition of government (as we know it). Libertarian anarchists bold enough to have publicly advanced their proposal for abolishing the state will have encountered many, if not all, of the arguments used for centuries to prop up slavery. Thus, we may make a parallel list, as shown in the table's second column.Read »
