Who is camping on Christmas day? How do you celebrate when camping?
We'll be camping at the coat and I'm a bit lost for ideas. Unfortunately most of my friends will go and celebrate with relatives (some will come back later) so it may just be me and my daugher.

Locals surprised by pope's resignation
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
ROCHESTER — Monday's announcement of Pope Benedict XVI's upcoming resignation has caught Catholics, both local and worldwide, by surprise.
"It's a trying job," said Levesque. "I have to commend him for realizing the job was just too much for him."
Pope Benedict also did much traveling and writing. His writing revolved around compassionate economic equality. He encouraged more developed countries to give aid to countries that have economic struggles.

Details unfold in case of starving boy allegations
Wednesday, February 6, 2013
DOVER — On the first day of a trial set to last for about the next three weeks, the mother of a young abused child was called as the state's first witness. She alleged both she and her son were made to do horrible things by their friend at a New Durham residence.
Thomas, with brightly dyed blond hair, sat at the defendant's table before several jurors Tuesday morning, while Cassotis presented disturbing evidence.
Cassotis showed two photos — one where the child at the age of 7 looked like a toddler, weighing only 23.6 pounds — and a black dog kennel was placed in the back of the room, without having time to be introduced. Cassotis alleged Thomas would lock the young developmentally disabled boy in the cage as a form of punishment in the house basement, without an opportunity to go to the bathroom, and then his mother would be forced to clean up the mess.
In a near hourlong opening statement, Cassotis said Thomas was a woman who for years took several people into her home who had nowhere else to go. She lived with her husband, another man and five children of her own.
Thomas and the young victim's mother were good friends in their teenage years and after bumping into each other at a Walmart store around 2002, she invited the woman into her home. The mother didn't know until two months later she was almost five months along into her pregnancy.
Foster's is not identifying the mother or the juvenile in this case to protect the alleged victims.
Cassotis said Thomas was excited for the pregnancy, and told her friend they would raise the child together. But things took a drastic turn, Cassotis explained, when Thomas allegedly became controlling and manipulative of both mother and son, forcing the mother to exercise and lose weight, or else she would lose her right to have meals, and starving the boy as well.
"Keep in mind Peggy Starr, my client's mother, she and Tina (Thomas) are not the same person," he said.
Investigators have revealed the young boy had lacerations on his thighs which they allege occurred when Starr would beat him with a spatula.
Within two hours of questioning the mother, where the county attorney had yet to finish her questions, the woman described scenarios where she was beaten by both Thomas and her mother, being forced to wait outside the Birch Hill Road home in New Durham until Thomas came home, not being allowed to use the household bathroom and not having access to the kitchen cupboards and refrigerator where locks were put on shortly after she moved in.
The mother said she did what she was told, when it came to disciplining her child, and the prosecution stressed that the mother herself was not admonished for what she did to the young boy, who was very young when the abuse began.
In this case, Cassotis says staff from the New Durham School will also be called to testify in the jury trial to explain how after the young boy was placed on an Individualized Education Program (IEP), Thomas told his paraprofessionals to punish him by taking away food. They said the boy was constantly hungry and asking for food, so much so that teachers placed a clock in front of him so he could count down to his next meal.
"People need to know things like this happen," she said.

I have a question regarding the KDE/Gnome debate, maybe you can help with it: do you think that you can all please shut the fuck up? It's because of people like you that I can't read these forums anymore. Go troll each other in pm.
Seems every thread I open seems to be some childish bickering...seems we got the GNOME fanbois trolling a KDE thread as usual, sad!
Reading comprehension's a wonderful thing.
I don't know why are you talking about this. You still don't get what was the point? If you wouldn't ignore other people experiences and blindly follow yours, it will make a huge difference.Well the basis for the first post was certainly explained within the first page of this thread. Then further on this page. While the subject of KDE4's stability can be seen as a hot topic, simply discussing it or bringing up stability as a relevant element of a new release of a desktop isn't too far off the pale surely. It's an issue that's been the subject of discussion for quite a while now at any rate. The issue of Gnome2 and functionality has also been a running topic for quite a while. If someone brought up the stability issue within a Gnome3 release statement I'm not sure how anyone could see that as irrelevant. It's up to that project to provide a reason to be happy about stability via quality code that's robust enough for day to day use.
It doesn't really matter if you were using both desktops or not to be a fanboy. I consider you're biased and I'm basing on your responses in this thread and on some older ones.I'm not biased. I don't make brand allegiances. To do so puts one in a position of difficulty when their chosen brand doesn't perform as required. The reliability of the products of brands can change over time, and as someone who isn't contributing to either Gnome of KDE4 I have no control over what level of breakage they do or don't ship with their code. I'm certainly not going to hitch my ship to anything when I'm in that kind of position. If Gnome2 updates cause breakage of an unsatisfactory nature for me in the future then my options will be to not integrate them, live with them or shift to an alternative subject to what makes the most sense at the time. If I want to use Ubuntu 11.10 which will be shipping Gnome3 and a Unity desktop based on it it'll make sense to perform some tests in the future. Calling me a Gnome fanboy isn't really consistent with the fact that I've used both desktops and that I'm happy to acknowledge any benefits KDE has over Gnome, even now while I use a Gnome desktop. The fact that Gnome has some over KDE as well doesn't evade me as I've discussed in this thread and is why it's what I use for the moment.
Oh man. Wasn't I clear when I said one of the problems was your attitude (you didn't took into consideration problems can lay somewhere else than in KDE)?Apparently I do need to explain such things to you if you consistently misunderstand what I'm saying, either deliberately or not.
I also disagree that my entire discussion is about other things as well.
Chronologically, it's gone basically like this.
- Firstly I mentioned the breakage in the release announcement.
- Then I responded that no, they were already made aware that the breakage was there before I posted and then went on to detail why I posted there at all.
- Then I responded that no, I wasn't talking about Gnome3, but specifically What I wrote relates to my experience with the KDE 4 series, Gnome 2 series, and now with Ubuntu's Unity interface.
- Then later even more detail on the nature of the instability that I found with KDE4.
All of this before the first page had even been filled. By post 8 in this thread actually.
And what's wrong with this part? Different opinion, experience, something wrong with that?People have then claimed that the issues were even worse with Gnome2, that the problems I had with KDE4 were a figment of my imagination or due to infrastructure or more specifically, the distro that I may have been using and other such things which I've then responded to as you've read.
Yes, I see it exactly like that.I've then been told that my responses to those questioning the veracity of my claims were nothing more than trolling on my behalf, ultimately leading to my statement
The point is there's huge possibility the issues were not in KDE, but another point is - it sometimes cannot be proven easily where the problem lays- I mentioned this before and you simply should stop your rant after that.You can and will likely will continue to claim that the issues I found were not those of KDE but instead those of the distro/infrastructure/hardware. The diversity of hardware and distro and the period of time over which the usage occurred isn't consistent with mere sole platform issues.
Heh, but this is just an opinion and some other people's opinions are different.I didn't agree that KDE4 was as stable or more so than Gnome2. I still don't. I've detailed what I base my view upon. I feel that KDE4 hasn't been in the same ball park as Gnome2 in relation to stability. I mentioned that I felt this could very well be due to the fact that the Gnome2 desktop, at least from a functionality standpoint, was less grandiose than KDE4, but that ultimately when talking about having a dependable desktop, grandiose software which is unreliable is less palatable than software which may be less featureful, but more stable.
You said
Now, specifically to your question "I don't know why are you talking about this," you had misunderstood my first post as a troll. So I then posted
The fact that I use all platforms, each with their own strengths and weaknesses must really gall you. The fact that I could be so rude as to not lock myself down to only using one particular desktop so as to fit some fixed ideology, possibly KDE 4 perhaps, it almost sounds as though it confuses you terribly.
Clearly all platforms have their strengths and weaknesses. I like Microsoft Windows for some tasks as I can at the same time recognise Microsoft as a bad corporate citizen (to say the last, at least in the past) and also see the clear advantages it has over the Linux platform in some areas. When I use a Machintosh, I fail to see the "brain damage" that others consider it to be and find it a pleasant experience, and a most stable one as well. When I use KDE 4 I see a software design and feature set that I like but consider it too unstable for my tastes and so use the less featured but more stable Gnome 2 one instead. It was interesting to hear KDE 4.7's desktop search improvements touted as something to behold, only to be found wanting from a reliability point of view, due in part because of Strigi I believe.
It is in fact the lack of "fanboy" in me that frees me to discuss not only the good of the platform I use the most (Gnome 2), but also the bad as well. It's great to not have a "monkey on my back" in the form of brand loyalty that some who frequent internet forums seem to burden themselves with. It frees me to pick and choose the best platform available to me at any given time and not have to worry about what someone else might think, or worry about how the use of a different platform may contradict statements I've made previously. If I was to continuously preach how Microsoft Windows 7 sucked, but then need to use it for say, running Protools or somesuch, it wouldn't be a good look in my view. I can say I both hate the corporate behavior of Microsoft, especially that of them in the 90's, yet still acknowledge that their current version of Windows has some good attributes as well and is the best technical choice in some circumstances and do it with a clear conscience knowing that I've not been unreasonable about the product in the past. When (if) KDE 4 reaches a level of stability that I'm satisfied with I can also with a clear conscience switch back to using it. Pretty basic stuff really. Don't know why you seem to have so much trouble accepting that.
If the issues were experienced over only a short period of time, with perhaps only one set of hardware and only one distro, perhaps the possibility increases, but not when a lack of quality control was observed over a prolonged usage with varied hardware and distro bases that other desktops were happy with.
Like I said few times it's about ignoring facts and other people experiences and not just about criticizing KDE. If you still don't understand this I don't know if conversation makes sense.You can consider criticism of KDE as a troll all you like but it doesn't make it true.
Yes, I think that's irrelevant, because of what I wrote above... Even if you were a KDE fanboy in the past it doesn't justify your ignorance.I have a long term experience with KDE that I think is relevant and is not merely the stuff of someone wanting to hate KDE 4. You don't think that's relevant? Further, it's been interesting to note the experience of others in relation to the recent release KDE 4.7 as noted in the tech press and associated user comments. It would seem I'm far from an outlier as far as experiencing problems with KDE 4.
Ask yourself if you had the point and then rethink everything.You don't know? Even after I've explained several times. You're trying to read something into my words that isn't there. The first time you did it, fair enough, but then I went into more detail as to what I was getting at. You still refuse to accept what I'm saying, and instead want to quote out of context to try and suit your own ends. Lets see.
It's quite irritating to see at the beginning you've missed the point, because it makes your huge posts uninteresting. Your preparedness to use KDE doesn't matter, because of the thing I mentioned above - ignorance - you didn't want to agree other can have far different experience with KDE than you and you didn't want to believe your problems with KDE may lay somewhere else.The post wasn't made out of being a troll and my preparedness to use any desktop environment that suits my needs is wholly inconsistent with me following blind ideology. If I was a KDE 4 user for more years than I was a Gnome 2 one and I'm so susceptible to being locked into ideology, wouldn't I still be using KDE 4? Wouldn't I be prepared to overlook any weaknesses KDE 4 has in order to satisfy my need to stay with the KDE 4 ideology?
I think it must be funny feeling realizing that's you who had misunderstood what I was talking about.Now, specifically to your question "I don't know why are you talking about this," you had misunderstood my first post as a troll. So I then posted
If my motivation is to save the World from the evil and thus I'll kill the half of the entire population, am I good? What were your motives to ignore other people experiences and some circumstantial evidences? As far I can see you didn't clarify why have you ignored those who had different opinion and experience.I was explaining the true motivation behind my first post. It may run counter to your mistaken narrative of a troll post, and perhaps given the standard and nature of a fair amount internet forum comments the possibility of the troll word coming across you mind can't be completely ruled out, at least not initially, but further elucidation of my post has clarified, time and time again the true nature of the post. You then seem to pretend that I've not explained further, ignore it, and go back to your initial position. The climate skeptics could perhaps learn a thing or two from you. They would be proud.
Ok, enough. You're sticking to wrong point like described above.What, the ones in older threads where I say I am a KDE 4 user? The ones where I describe the behavior of KDE 4 and Gnome 2, both good and bad for both?
Heh, but it was explained to you by some people KDE could trigger bugs in some parts which wasn't used before (by Gnome 2 in example).I did look into consideration that on occasion the problems could lay somewhere else but I also noted that the same infrastructure was also supporting a nice and stable Gnome 2 desktop and that didn't appear to sit well with some.
There are many people who doesn't have problems with KDE. Like I said I had problems with Gnome 2, so I could write about its issues, instability etc. However, I know it works sometimes without problems I was facing and I found it strange you didn't want to realize that the same situation can be with KDE. It's one of the main reasons I considered some of your posts to be trolish.I noted that I was prepared to switch distros to test it's reliability on another teams packaging yet found problems there too. Also, it's not like the problems disappeared over quite a prolonged usage of KDE 4. I said that I didn't buy your assertion that it's all "someone else's fault" for KDE 4's issues when at the same time Gnome 2 could manage and certainly not in the face of an extended usage over years.
That's true and with such attitude it sounds far different. If there are problems in drivers and only KDE suffers from it, both sides should cooperate (KDE should report issue and track the progress of fixing it and driver guys should make a patch), but it wouldn't be fair to say it's simply a KDE's fault. My another point is there were no evidences pointing to KDE's faults, but maybe it was different from your POV - I follow KDE development, read and post some bug reports, so maybe I'm in a better position to point where some problems may be.Just as we have the drivers we have, and not the drivers we want, we also have the distro infrastructure we have and not the distro infrastructure we want. In the face of that I think it reasonable that the current state of infrastructure should be taken into consideration when developing software.
Ask yourself: quality control of what Linux's stack? Many things points to graphic drivers related problems and some other to dbus (this one is already proven). About graphic drivers - there's a thread on Phoronix describing problems with kwin and the drivers which expose 'features' as complete even if they're not, so this can lead to strange things on some configurations. Keep in mind many other don't suffer from the issues you've described, so if you didn't post a bug reports or if devs aren't able to reproduce them it will be hard to fix. Btw. we have similar situation with Gnome Shell and some graphic drivers like nvidia blob which caused some problems. The problem wasn't in shell, but in the blob.If the issues were experienced over only a short period of time, with perhaps only one set of hardware and only one distro, perhaps the possibility increases, but not when a lack of quality control was observed over a prolonged usage with varied hardware and distro bases that other desktops were happy with.

If for example one person out of 100 has a bug free experience with KDE 4, that leaves 99 that don't have a bug free experience with KDE 4. See how that could explain your own experience? Now, I did say in my previous post in this thread that my own personal experience is just that, my own experience. But I also said that I'd read many, many more reports of buggy KDE 4 experiences than reports of fault free ones, and that that correlated with my own experience as well.
If you're killing because you have a mental illness then that's a very, very bad thing. If a police officer shoots and kills the murdering psychopath before he can continue to kill half of the people, well I'd say the police officer's a pretty good guy. Lets look at the motivations, two guys, each one has killed, one is a murderer with no reason for doing so other than his/her mental illness, one is trying to stop the murdering. One has a bad motivation, one has a good one.
Now I didn't ignore other peoples reports of a completely fault free KDE 4 experience but I did refute that it was the overall prevailing one.
My remark to the effect that I felt it was "business as usual" for the KDE folks when coming across the broken release statement has a basis in real life experience over years of using their project as a full time desktop. Further, it would seem that evidence of the basis for my position has been provided with the release of the 4.7 edition of KDE SC.
Having said that, when the need to turn your attention away from just micro managing problems and issues with the computer you're using and instead go and get some actual work done, it matters not why a particular desktop environment is problematic, only that it is problematic. If I'd found the same situation with Gnome 2 then Windows would've been the next stop at that point. Damingly, over a long period of time KDE 4 was problematic. Part of being a professional programmer is dealing with the realities of the target platform. As a hobbiest there's less consequences of taking a more pure academic approach that may lead to a more technically elegant solution, but lead to a real world end user experience that is sub-optimal. Conversely, a more pragmatic approach that is prepared to deal with the realities of the target platform in its current state can lead to a less pure program from a code beauty perspective but at the same time lead to a much more pleasant experience for the end user. It can be wise sometimes to not base ones project on libraries that are unreliable, or it can be worthwhile coding around weaknesses in a somewhat reliable library which may have particular corner case issues that are wise to stay away from. If the KDE 4 team have dependencies on broken code, that in itself is a weakness of the KDE 4 desktop. Ultimately, if Gnome 2 is reliable in an environment where KDE 4 is not, then don't be surprised if someone who doesn't have the time to patch the code themselves finds another environment.
But I have read opposite, so it doesn't make sense at all and that's why it's a nonsense.I'm not ignoring others experiences. I've noted that I've read many more complaints about KDE 4's stability than I've read good reports. That'd be other peoples experiences. Make sense?
It's OK to ignore what's your saying when you're talking about things which doesn't really matter and which does lead to nowhere. I tried to show you this 'disscusion' can lead to nowhere, because of some obvious reasons. Your experience is different than mine and me and other folks showed you, you can be simply wrong by judging KDE basing on some problems which can be related to something else.You think it's OK to ignore the meaning behind what I'm saying. At the same time you ask that I not ignore the experience of others, yet I did mention the experience of others. It's helpful to read with comprehension.
This means you're simply not so smart to realize why all this talk is crap.I don't even know what this means. Perhaps you're becoming more irrational over time.
I'm really sorry, but this is just meaningless. You still don't get it can be different? For example 99 persons out of 100 has bug free experience with KDE 4. Mine own (and many other people) experience is far different, so we've got a balance. However, it was showed some or all of the problems you were experiencing were or could be related to non KDE 4 parts, so saying 'balance' I'm really a good man here.Here you demonstrate more lack of understanding.
If for example one person out of 100 has a bug free experience with KDE 4, that leaves 99 that don't have a bug free experience with KDE 4. See how that could explain your own experience? Now, I did say in my previous post in this thread that my own personal experience is just that, my own experience. But I also said that I'd read many, many more reports of buggy KDE 4 experiences than reports of fault free ones, and that that correlated with my own experience as well.
Oh man, but I didn't call your first post 'a troll', but the one I gave you link to. I wouldn't call your first post trollish, because I would have done this in my first comment in this thread (which was neutral). About the post I linked to I said it was a flame bit. In my opinion you could troll, because of the ignorance I was talking about (but it starts from the post I linked to). It seems you didn't want to accept problems can lay somewhere else. However, if you considered I called your first post trollish this can explain your other posts.You directly called my first post a troll. You were wrong. I explained in detail the meaning of the post. You then called it a troll again. You're still wrong. If I've misunderstood you then you must be telling me that you don't consider my first post a troll. Perhaps we do have progress here.
No, it's sometimes irrelevant. In example when someone comes here to troll, he usually trolls, but there's always a chance he accidentally doesn't troll or someone doesn't want to troll, but his talk looks like a trolling to others and thus it probably can be said he's trolling etc.*So are you saying that the reason behind something's always irrelevant?
I think you should got the point.*If you're killing because you have a mental illness then that's a very, very bad thing. If a police officer shoots and kills the murdering psychopath before he can continue to kill half of the people, well I'd say the police officer's a pretty good guy. Lets look at the motivations, two guys, each one has killed, one is a murderer with no reason for doing so other than his/her mental illness, one is trying to stop the murdering. One has a bad motivation, one has a good one.
Business as usual, but this can be said about dbus or graphic drivers if there were the culprits. While there are no proofs of KDE faults it's not fair to say this about it. I realize how someone can feel if he experiences problems only in KDE and this suggests there's something wrong with it, but if there are presumptive evidences pointing to other parts such person should at least take into consideration KDE can be 'innocent'. The 4.7 release wasn't the proof if your previous problems were related to dbus or graphics.Now I didn't ignore other peoples reports of a completely fault free KDE 4 experience but I did refute that it was the overall prevailing one.
My remark to the effect that I felt it was "business as usual" for the KDE folks when coming across the broken release statement has a basis in real life experience over years of using their project as a full time desktop. Further, it would seem that evidence of the basis for my position has been provided with the release of the 4.7 edition of KDE SC.
It's about opinions. I was considering you as a Gnome fanboy, but the later part of your posts makes me to rethink this.You're making statements saying I'm a fanboy yet my posts in the past and the ones here don't bear that out. If you're going to make inaccurate statements about me then I'm going to point that out to you and I can't see anything wrong with doing that.
But this means nothing. For you Gnome can be more stable, but for me KDE 4 was always been more stable. Like I said I probably didn't even suffer from dbus bug. As far as I know dbus is a free desktop project and if its developers didn't want to fix it I don't know what KDE should do - if it worked without problems before, but something were broken later and some idiot didn't want to fix it, what KDE should do about this? Fork? No, wait for the next version which will be patched. It's more a distros task to decide what components and their versions should be picked up.And it was explained to you that when one is to make a selection for a desktop environment where stability is a prerequisite, it makes no sense to select a desktop environment that bases itself on buggy infrastructure. I see you didn't understand my post above. It is directly in the KDE team's control upon what they base their project and in what way they use it. See my statement regarding Strigi. Not to mention of course that over a prolonged period of use, where the base infrastructure had seen TLC, KDE 4 was there, still banging out the bugs.
And I think I'm not an outlier, but outliers are the people who have problems with KDE. However I have to say I've rarely had problems with Linux as a whole and I experienced many more problems in XP. In example there's some bug which hangs my mouse for a while when I do a fast move to the left in fps games. Never happens on Linux.As far as your experience with KDE 4 is concerned, I consider you the outlier here. To clarify, by outlier I mean not the common experience and more the exception than the rule. I gave KDE 4 a jolly good run. Even after I'd come to the conclusion it was time to move to an alternative I still stuck with KDE 4 for a while, but then one too many issues occurred, and that was that.
In this case I agree. If Gnome works better for you just use it. For me KDE4 works without problems, so that's why I'm using it.Having said that, when the need to turn your attention away from just micro managing problems and issues with the computer you're using and instead go and get some actual work done, it matters not why a particular desktop environment is problematic, only that it is problematic.

Re-entering society is no easy feat for people recovering from substance abuse. Aside from the medical, mental health and legal considerations which often color this journey, people in recovery face challenges ranging from the corporeal, such as housing and employment, to the ethereal, or spirituality.
Among the many local agencies and programs designed to help people get in and stay in recovery is The Spirit of Recovery. And during September's National Recovery Month, the program will be continuing its efforts to help substance-abuse recoverers to help themselves by offering several rehabilitation opportunities.
Retired Reverend Caddy Jackson, who created The Spirit of Recovery, said most people don't realize how expensive the societal fallout from substance abuse is in terms of institutional resources to medical and mental health services, law enforcement, social services and so on.
"We would save every institution a significant amount of its resources … So many basic service calls are directly or indirectly a result of substance abuse. If we can cut substance abuse in half," he explained, its effects could be cut in half. He went on to list effects such as drunk driving, homelessness, teen pregnancy, student discipline problems, domestic violence and families at risk. For example, "as a pastor, I found that substance abuse was a major factor in nearly every divorce that people came to me about … It's a core issue" in many contemporary social ills, said Jackson.
The Spirit of Recovery started about six or seven years ago, said Jackson, to help United Methodist Church parishioners who had substance abuse issues. The church engaged a mother and daughter-in-law, congregation members who had experienced recovery, to participate in six Saturday-morning breakfast brainstorming forums Continued from front page
about the dynamics of addiction and recovery. Church and community members met with members of local public institutions – Superior Court, Wild Iris, police and probation departments, Mental Health and others – "who where dealing with the effects of, or who had resources to deal with, the effects" of substance abuse.
The Spirit of Recovery services moved from a focus on church members to the general public when it began to operate under the United Methodist Social Services umbrella. In addition to concern for "the spiritual growth of all of those in our church family … within the wider community, the Spirit of Recovery has been actively involved in working with the Inyo County Drug Court to provide support and spiritual counsel to persons in recovery, including financial assistance for drug court costs and providing a sober living residential program," states www.bishopumc.org [3].
Inyo County Superior Court Judge Dean Stout said, "The faith community has consistently provided strong support for the Drug Court Program and people in recovery. The Spirit of Recovery is an outstanding example. In addition to spiritual support, they have assisted Drug Court participants with housing and finding employment. In Drug Court lingo we would say that they have 'walked their talk' in terms of Christian outreach; opening their church doors to welcome, embrace and support people in recovery."
Six years ago, The Spirit of Recovery's Faith-Based Sober Living Project began providing housing in three trailers at Sierra Trailer Park, located at South Warren and Lagoon streets, said Jackson. People leaving jail and going into Inyo County Drug Court Program, he explained, are required to live in a sober environment; often their former living situation doesn't fit that criteria. In an expeditious process, Faith-Based Sober Living Project applicants are interviewed by The Spirit of Recovery's Cutting the Effects of Substance Abuse advisory board – a board comprised of people living successfully in recovery. Acceptance is contingent on that interview as well as vacancy and availability, said Jackson.
Though not directly affiliated with the Inyo County Drug Court Program, "we try to be very supportive of what (it) is trying to do," said Jackson. "The Spirit of Recovery has even focused on developing a Drug Court Alumni Association" which endeavors to provide support and structure for people who have successfully completed the Drug Court Program, states the website.
Some of that support comes through The Spirit of Recovery's Temporary Work Program. It started informally about six years ago, said Jackson, and within the last month or so become formalized with an application and employer evaluation form process. "The Temporary Work Program acts as a mediator," said Jackson, between employers and persons in recovery, providing employment opportunities. The program helps substance-abuse recoverers learn and hone basic job-success skills through temporary work assignments: gardening, pond and other yard work; painting houses; helping people move and the like.
When jobs are completed, employers are asked to complete an evaluation form to indicate employers' level of satisfaction, promoting accountability, he explained. These temporary jobs can add work experience, establish a record of positive feedback and become the start of a resume or enhance an existing one, explained Jackson.
While Jackson is able to provide spiritual direction to people recovering from substance abuse, plans are in play to expand the spiritual aspect of The Spirit of Recovery. "Down the road in the next six months to a year," said Jackson, "we hope to have weekly worship services" for recovering addicts.
On the immediate horizon, Sunday, Sept. 9, after services, from 10:45-11:15 a.m., Spirit of Recovery will have a booth at the annual Opportunity Sunday at United Methodist Church located at 205 N. Fowler St. It is open to the public and Jackson said he hopes to promote community support for The Spirit of Recovery. "There are a wide variety of ways they can be supportive of people in recovery," said Jackson, by providing employment opportunities or financial or transportation assistance, for example.

Honey, They Shrunk My Bonus
It's an election year though. So don't bet on this occurring next year.
funny, an election years is why bonus's are down. Has nothing to do with earnings.
LOL! Yea the banking business is broken too, but banksters usually figure out a way of paying themselves. CDO'S only appeared to be profitable back in 2007
CDO's have been profitable since the late 90s and continued to be profitable through 2007'
- Banks have to hold more capital now for the same balance sheet, which mean they will not be able to leverage as much. This, in addition to higher regulatory cost, will translate into lower comp. My guess is average total comp down 10-30% going forward depending on how much money you made.
- If you made more than $5mm total comp, down 30-50%. Top ten people used to get $20-50mm per year. Now it will be more like $10-20mm.
- More of this comp is deferred but it does vest. This means 2012 will have some cash crunch but come 2013, large amounts of stock granted this year will start to vest. People should not forget that even in 2012, the stock granted from previous year's is vesting and the bank stock prices are higher.
- Bankers just have to delay gratification, and not have crazy expenses like the 4-5 household staff the article mentions. In any case, very few banker had that level of expenses. Most people get a nanny, if wife works full time, and a cleaning lady once a week.
Mercer, you think comp at banks is going down another 10-30% going forward even after the 30% drop last year?
Mercer: Do you think that bank stock prices will be high enough in '13 to make up for the 30-50% drop in bonus over the past few years? I think the question we are struggling with on this thread is whether there will be a cumulative effect on financial industry bonus and thus a more tempered view towards real state. If so, this would put downward pressure on Manhattan RE prices. Unless you think the big pot of money is simply delayed for a year or two and there will no adverse effect on RE prices.
nada, no, not after last year on an average. Flat to up on last year. I meant 10-30% from 2005-2007 average. This is in nominal terms.
Comp was inflated from 02'-07' as well as financial earnings. Comps will be going back down to pre bubble levels along with RE in Manhattan. Time to face reality guys.
- The big pot has reduced 10-30% from the boom years. Bank stock price increase will not make up for the reduction.
- However, without this reduction, the price of real estate would be increasing at a min 5-7% per year. Lower bonuses are likely to keep the real estate flattish in real terms. Just my take. This is a bearish board, so I expect most to disagree.
- Chinese and Russian buyers are wildcard. With Sandy Weil's sale to Russian purchaser of $90mm, it is hard to deny the existence of this money. I also know people who have gotten offers from Asian buyers without their property being on the market.
- The biggest reason for this inflow is Chinese and Russian wanting to park some money outside their country as they never know when their government will take away their money.
- Foreign buyers also explain why condos will remain at a premium to coops - keeping coops a far better deal for people who want to buy and live in their apartment.
brooks, you have no idea how bad times were in 2002. Just look at SPX levels. 2003 was a bit better but certainly no boom. The real high payouts were in 2005-2007.
It's not the bonus cut that has effect, is that so much of the remaining bonus is paid in deferred stock with no current visibility on future price. It has a chilling effect over discretionary spending.
"nada, no, not after last year on an average. Flat to up on last year. I meant 10-30% from 2005-2007 average. This is in nominal terms."
That seems overly optimistic -- the 10-30% vs. 2005-2007, that is. The average comp at GS, for example, was $600K between 2005-2006. Last year, it was $367K. That's a 40% drop nominally, closer to 50% in real terms.
Nada: Factor in the following into averages:
1. Top 50 people who were making $10-$50mm are being paid much less as I note in my post before. CEO is making 10-15mm instead of $50mm.
2. Significant hiring or employees in India and other locations where they make 50-100K per year.
Sure I do.
And look What financial stocks did from 02'-07'.
> It's an election year though. So don't bet on this occurring next year.
The pay isn't down to look good for others, the pay is down because they make a crapload less than they used to...
Earings, stock price resulted in a comp bubble as well as a RE bubble in Manhattan.
I lived it
I'll put it this way. I never owned RE in manhattan.
300_mercer, those words are well and fine, but I don't see how the numbers add up.
In 2006, GS total comp paid was $16.5B with about $2.5B going to partners averaging $8.6M (http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2007/02/13/for-goldmans-highest-echelon-a-salary-to-match/). That left $14B for the 26K non-partners, or $528K on average.
For 2011, total comp is $12.2B for 33.4K employees. The 400 partners are down to "just" ~$4.75M a head (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204331304577147750253122844.html), so $1.9B total. That leaves $10.3B for 33K non-partners, so a "mere" $312K a head.
So by those numbers, comp is down from $528K circa 2006 to $312K circa 2011 for GS non-partners, a 40% drop.
If you take out the 3K India employees and the $0.3B comp at $100K a head (they've got managing directors too), you're left with $10B and 30K employees. Nudges non-partner, non-Indian pay up to $333K. Still 37% below 2006's $528K.
> So by those numbers, comp is down from $528K circa 2006 to $312K circa 2011 for GS non-partners, a 40% drop.
In real terms, I think we're talking less than half...
Check out this report. Overall industry wage drop not so bad. Figure 5. 2011 numbers are not in yet. 2010 numbers from what I tell tell include bonuses paid in early 2011. Assuming total average comp including deferred stock was down 20% for 2011 of $360K at $290k, still at 2005 levels, which was considered a good year. Reduced cash obviously is painful.
Why 20%? I thought 30% was the number most commonly being thrown around.
30-40% down.
There is a table showing bonus cut percentages by bank here:
kiss, BB article is mixing apples and oranges. Some percentages are bonuses others are total comp. nada, 30% number is generally related to bonuses not total comp including deferred stock.
Here's one guy's opinion about what 2012 holds:
"Investment banking compensation has come down significantly, but it's likely to come down again next year," says Tom Gosling, a partner at PwC in London. "As capital requirements put more pressure on ROE, banks can't just rely on revenue recovery – with compensation being such a significant cost for banks, it is going to have to play its part in bridging the gap."
The Financial Times has calculated that to achieve a 10 per cent ROE, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, UBS, Credit Suisse and RBS would have to find an additional £7.5bn worth of revenue gains or cost cuts between them.
That would mean setting aside a significantly lower proportion of revenues for pay. Again, to achieve a 10 per cent ROE, those five banks would have to bring their remuneration ratios to between 25 and 35 per cent, down significantly from the 40 to 60 per cent range seen in 2011.
My bud from Deutsche just confirmed down 40% from last year. Senior senior mgmt is warning of further cuts. Apparently the big base ploy was ill advised, as head count reductions make ppl not sqawk as much as the work load gets heavier per person wise.
Won't be long before new hires lower base makes some of the old timers huge base look totally outta whack. IMHO. I'd rather have a lower base to ride out this shit storm undetected and un fired. Good luck trying to replace the $500k base salary as a 45 yo with 3 kids about to hit college. Seen it happen. Not pleasant to see a old time banker begging junior bankers for job leads.
I gotta imagine the more junior bankers are looking at their comp down 10-20% and declaring it ain't all that bad, not like the 40% down seen by the senior bankers. What they're missing is that in the pyramid of banking comp, they should have been getting a bump of 10-20% in a normal year instead of a drop.
What's the difference between a bonus and a p*nis? After 20 years of marriage, your wife will still blow your bonus.
hburg, Thanks. I was just going to post this. We have to realize that financial services industry is far bigger than just the top banks and they are many people who make 300K all in with more than 10 years of experience whose total comp has not gone down as much. If these people have spouses, who make $150K or so, they can afford a basic 2 bedroom $1.3-1.5mm in New York.
Nada, what is your take on the numbers by Dinapoli. Frankly, they seem better than I thought.
I have no barometer other than the news reports and maybe a couple of people I know in banking, and all seem worse than 14%.
From DiNapoli's own press release:
"While a number of large firms announced reductions in cash bonuses for 2011 (with several firms reporting reductions in the range of 20 to 30 percent), personal income tax collections indicate a smaller decline in the overall cash bonus pool. This is likely due to the payment of bonuses that had been deferred from earlier years. "
You can also click on the link to the chart in the bottom. It shows bonus down from $34.3M in 2006 to $19.7M in 2011, $191K to $121K per head. Around a 40% drop, in line with GS's peak-to-current. Granted, that number does not account for higher base, but that offsets with the delayed payouts from past years.
First, "if" becomes a big word in this context even though it is only 2 letters. The question becomes, "if" they can afford it("if they have a spouse that makes $150k), "Do they want purchase it". 14% cut in comp since 11' . After Incomes in general down 10% in 10'(according the census) .etc (and I agree with INO-- most are getting a lot worse in bonuses) why would any one want to tie all there money up in a depreciating asset that is still deflating form a massive RE bubble.. I am betting the answer for most is another big 2 letter word,"NO". And, from my informal poles of talking to people about buying in Manhattan, the results are "Hell NO" not now, prices still have a lot more room to go down.
Good luck
"do they want to purchase it?"
"We have to realize that financial services industry is far bigger than just the top banks and they are many people who make 300K all in with more than 10 years of experience whose total comp has not gone down as much."
I think that is exactly where the disconnect is coming from. You're looking at some guy making $350K in 2006 who now makes $300K, and you declare "all is fine" because it's "only" down 15%. What you are forgetting is that the increases for this person (to offset the ones leaving) were missing. Think of it as Wall Street comp's own version of inflation where flat is actually down.
In many industries, a 5% annual bump is pretty standard for a bread-and-butter employee. In banking, it has been more like 10% because of whatever (shorter careers, etc.). So that bread-and-butter employee was thinking he'd be rising from $350K to $550K but is instead looking at $300K. The superstar employees are on 25 % annual bumps, so story is the same there only with increasing numbers. How else do you get to GS partners with average tenures of 20 years at the firm making $8M?
Let me ask you this: before that nominal $300K employee took a drop, what pace was he/she increasing at over the previous years to get to that point?
Bottom line.... Incomes continue to go down. 300 Mercer seems to be implying that this should have not effect on RE prices because "they" can still afford to purchase an apartment at inflated prices because bonus's are not down as much... I find this a ridiculous argument. Incomes are directly related to RE prices. Income go up, RE goes up, Income goes down RE goes down.. Especially when financing standards have become so much more stringent in the past 4 years and have not loosened up. With financing so difficult It may still be very difficult for RE prices to go up even with increases in income.. That is the bottom line folks!
don't mess with poor mercer. he desperately needs to finally convince himself.
ANYONE with a $400K base has a huge bullseye on their backs if the equity/debt mkts do not perform..... (w67 guarantee equity/debt transactions volume will continue to go down).... June 30th, another round of cuts, another bf X-mas 2012...
Let's see ppl squawk about their bonuses when their desk is 1/3 of 2012 head count......
Bye Bye...
$500psf... ala Lawrence Yun, I may adjust to $400psf......
brooks2, for real estate prices, only time will tell. 2012 April SE index will be the first look. If the stock market continues to be at these levels, we may start to see increases very soon.
ie. please, please, please.
please, please, please.
hilarious... yes Dow 13K "wealth" effect will overcome the loss of bonus and jobs.... do you even know how big the debt mkt for mortgages are in comparison to the entire equity markets?
Let's just take a 200K sq ft commercial building in NYC... at its peak it would have commanded $2K sq ft. or $400MM... do you know how many companies in the SP 500 are less than $400K mkt cap?
Oh, that's right Stocks are up.... Is that the next pitch I will hear from RE brokers... I have to admit, "you can borrow from your 401k" was one of the bet lines I heard from a RE broker. But, theirs another thread dedicated to irresponsible remarks from nincompoop RE brokers.

Hardcore drunk drivers are those who drive with a high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .15 or above or who do so repeatedly, as demonstrated by having more than one impaired driving arrest, and who are highly resistant to changing their behavior despite previous sanctions, treatment or education.
Hardcore drunk drivers are responsible for 70% of all drunk driving fatalities and are 380 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash. Drivers with blood alcohol concentration levels in excess of .15 are only one percent of all drivers on weekend nights; however, they are involved in nearly 50% of all fatal crashes during that time.
The National Hardcore Drunk Driving Project advocates a comprehensive approach that includes swift identification, certain punishment, and effective treatment as the most effective strategy to reduce hardcore drunk driving. The Combating Hardcore Drunk Driving sourcebook, now in its third edition, and the Coalition to Fight Hardcore Drunk Driving are the main components of this long-standing initiative.

Driver in crash that killed new bride faces 14 indictments
Wednesday, November 20, 2013
ROLLINSFORD — The man charged with the vehicular manslaughter of newlywed Leah Fonda Preiss in July is facing 14 Strafford County Superior Court indictments.
Also separate from and before the actual collision, Tsopas received three indictments for the Class A misdemeanor of simple assault for striking three individuals and throwing a drink at one. He also received one count of attempted simple assault for swinging a stick at one of the individuals.
Tsopas was also handed four indictments for conduct after an accident, Class A misdemeanors. The charges relate to Tsopas' actions in the Rollinsford American Legion parking lot some time before he drove onto Portland Avenue and became involved in the fatal crash. The indictments state Tsopas was knowingly involved in an accident that resulted in damage to a Toyota Prius, a Toyota Corolla, a Chevy Blazer and a Chevy pickup truck, as Tsopas was leaving the Legion parking lot. It says he failed to stop at the scene to provide his information or report the accident to the police.

I was thinking last week that this might happen after Deron Williams said something about the offense.
The Brooklyn Nets have relieved Avery Johnson of his coaching duties, general manager Billy King announced Thursday.
Johnson, who was in the final year of his contract, was named Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for October and November following an 11-4 start. But the Nets have won just three of their last 13 games in December, prompting the team to go in another direction.
I was thinking last week that this might happen after Deron Williams said something about the offense.

We was coach of the month in October and November, only reason he is gone is because DWill complained about the offense.

Watch the Nets suddenly play amazing. One off the biggest reasons I hate super teams is the power they hold.
Monty Williams is 6-22, Avery Johnson was 14-14. Seems to me the wrong coach was fired. Bring Avery back to New Orleans!!!!
I'm sure if Monty had that lineup then the nets wouldn't be 14-14
Billy Kings interview with the press, he literally said "uhm" at least thirty times in his opening statement.

Tightening Their Focus - Orthopaedic firm reorganizes their company and communications systems
"Stick to the knitting," wrote Tom Peters in one of the best selling business books of all time, In Search of Excellence. That is to say, find out what your company is best at and focus all your energy and resources on that one thing.
It was in that spirit that Memphis-based Wright Medical Technology (WMT) divested itself of roughly half the company last year, using their years of experience and the cash they raised to laser focus on a new opportunity: providing specialty orthopaedic implants and biologics for smaller joints, including the foot, ankle, hand, wrist, and elbow. "It's one of the fastest growing segments in medical technology and our best chance to contribute to society, while earning a return for our stockholders," says Mike Colley, End User Infrastructure Architect for WMT.

Where History Has Been Fixed
Playlist Navigation Bar
Adraefan: 4. Above Emyn Muil
The elves knew their way around this forest, however, as they had often passed through it. They needed no navigation, since their feet were so familiar with the uneven, trampled ground, that they could have walked through whilst sleeping. They did not sleep on this particular journey, but rather remained awake in order to argue over the matter of their recently discarded companion.
"It was a wicked thing to do, First One," Third One muttered.
They walked in single file, picking their way through the thorns and undergrowth, and the younger, dark-haired elf lingered by the back. Second One walked several paces ahead of him – he was at the moment managing to step over a fallen trunk while pushing aside some thorny vines. Leading the group was First One, who sliced his way, rather unnecessarily, through the thick branches using both of his knives.
But Third One knew that his companion was still ruffled from the Man's hostility, which was why he now chose to cut and hack the interwoven limbs that marred his path. It was a shameful behavior, Third One thought, to injure the trees so, but the three elves had long since abandoned the proper comportment of their kind. So he did not speak when First One sliced through another bramble before stepping over it and continuing.
"Third One, we cannot be blindly compassionate," First One said without turning. "That Man threatens to pull us into the very heart of Middle-earth's affairs. The War brews, and I foresee the Ring as being the center of it."
"But he does not have it!" Third One insisted.
"Nonetheless its evil festers in him. I will not have one so corrupted in my company."
"Fear not, Third One," Second One said mildly. "The Man will heal, and he shall return to his people."
"Yet he spoke of leaving Gondor, for he is banished," Third One retorted.
"And justly so," First One said. "He is a danger to those around him. Else why would his companions abandon him to death?"
"Perhaps they could not help it!"
First One spun around angrily.
"Third One, why do you defend this Man so stubbornly?" he demanded. "You did not see into his mind, I did! He is a desperate and stained spirit. Did you not see how his hand reaches for the sword, ready to strike at those who help him? Did you not hear his incoherent talk?"
"First One is right," Second One agreed. "The Man is a danger to us. And we had no reason to remain with him."
"And yet I fear that all our fates are now entangled," Third One meditated in a low voice. "It has been near four hundred years since we crossed paths with another, and to have it now be a Man who demands our help and who knows of the Ring… I say we cannot ignore it. We will see that Man again ere we pass from this forest."
First One did not speak but turned around and began to violently hack through the branches. They continued their slow progress through the forest, yet all three elves were visibly unsettled. It was difficult to ignore the coincidence of encountering a Man – prominent in Gondor, member of a quest which involved the Ring, Mithrandir, and every race – wounded and deserted by his companions. And now, of all times, on the eve of the storm – when all of this land's fate would be decided by perhaps that very quest. Yet what could the Valar intend with such a meeting?
"Let us hope you prophesy falsely," First One grunted.
No one spoke for several hours following First One's comment. Instead, the three elves continued along the makeshift path. The already dim gray light of day began to fade, indicating afternoon. In their entire journey through the forest, they had not encountered a single creature, save a spotted owl that hovered above them like a guide. It hooted now and again, but mostly flew slowly over their heads. The elves made no comment concerning the owl.
After hours of silence, Second One cleared his throat.
"My friends, I have made a mental count, and we have little miruvor," he said. "We must seek Radagast the Brown. Perhaps he shall meet us just south of Mirkwood? He may yet replenish our dwindling supplies with new elven goods."
His attempt to make conversation fell on deaf ears. Third One was still sulking, and First One, although he had finally put away his knives, emanated tightly wound anger.
After a few tense moments, First One spoke: "We would have enough miruvor if Third One did not keep giving it away."
"Would you deny help to one who is dying?" Third One glared.
"You did not need to leave him our last vial!"
"He needed it more than we do!"
"Peace, brothers!" Second One exclaimed. "Let us not squabble."
The elves fell silent, and the owl above them seemed to hoot with amusement.
"Mayhap Radagast will bring us news of Thranduil and his kingdom?" Second One said.
First One grunted in response and Third One snorted. Second One sighed inwardly. An age has passed and nothing changed between these two.
"Shall we send him a message?" Second One tried again for conversation.
No one responded.
"We will reach the borders of Mirkwood in four, five days, no? I feel, perhaps we should send a message so that Radagast may be better prepared. Mayhap he has been busy of late, I do not know."
Still no response.
"Or mayhap he is away, and would require advance notice of our need to see him."
Silence. The owl hooted.
"We have need of some horses once reaching Mirkwood. He is friend to the wild horses of the eastern lands…"
"Call him, then!" First One burst suddenly. "By the Valar, what chatter!"
Second One smiled. Finally. The three elves stopped, and the two waited for Second One to make his move. He searched the trees for something and, after finding his prey, stepped forward. The other elves watched with amused looks as he bowed towards the large, spotted owl that had perched itself on the lowest branch of a tall oak tree. It seemed it had been waiting for this ever since they had reached these wood, for it had followed them the entire day. The dignified creature hooted once to signal the elf could speak.
"Master Owl, King of the Trees, Ally of the Great Eagles and Defender of Lesser Birds, we have a message for our friend, Radagast the Brown."
"He passes through the lands of Mirkwood, the woods which we cannot enter under penalty of death. If possible, we would meet Radagast at the southern-most tip of the forest. We are in need of elven supplies and news from our kind."
The owl ruffled his feathers momentarily and, after a lengthy pause, hooted twice.
"Thank you," Second One bowed again as the owl flew off in the distance.
First One smiled. "Well done."
Second One laughed. Though they had often sent messages to Radagast using passing creatures such as birds and field mice, it never failed to amuse the elves. Perhaps the humor depended on how they could not quite understand what the animals were saying in return. The elves often whiled away the endless hours by inventing possible conversations and phrases for the animals.
The most entertaining of animal messengers Radagast used was an elderly robin. The elves imagined Radagast found the tiny bird endearing, for he was always sent in reply, and the elves had come to rely on the tiny, wilting bird as evidence that Radagast would indeed meet them. This robin was characterized by a particular screech – "Gah! My ears bleed at the sight of him!" First One had once commented – which he used to announce his coming.
The sun was setting, and despite the dreary surroundings, the elves' tension broke. Second One smiled to himself. After thousands of years together, they had learned enough of each other to know when one needed to laugh, to talk, to be alone. Now was the time of laughter. They spoke of the elderly robin, decided his name should be Ragwing, to complement Radagast's name. They joked about the owl, estimated when the robin would arrive, mused over what news the wizard could bring. And so it was, as it had been, for the millennia they spent together: a peaceful, endless walk tinged with humor.
A dream, or is it the truth?
Frodo, Frodo, Frodo,
Frodo, I'm sorry!
Come back!
I'm sorry!
Is this how it happened? Is this truly how it happened?
The memory fades into view, mocking the half-asleep, half-awake Boromir.
Parth Galen is a small field, very green, very young. Vividly alive. Frodo is there, brooding, looking out in the distance with distant eyes himself. He is clutching the Ring – feeling its intoxicating power even through his clothes. He can feel it pulsing against his hand as if it were a living heart. And with each beat, it whispers: "Frodo. Frodo. Frodo." Niggling away at his mind, pushing into it, insisting. The Ring will not be ignored.
Movement behind him. Frodo turns, and his heart sinks, for he knows the outcome of this encounter. He has sensed it for days. There, standing before him, tall and noble and sinister, is Boromir. The Man is breathing heavily. His eyes dart. He is nervous, unstable. Frodo pushes the Ring against his chest.
Words are exchanged, but they are drowned out by the Ring's metallic hum. The tension escalates. Frodo backs away unconsciously. Boromir moves forward instinctively. A hand outstretched.
"Why do you recoil? I will not steal it, but I would use it. Aye, this you know. But I do not desire to keep it. Let me try, is that not reasonable? Let us test the plan. Gondor and all of Middle-earth could be saved. Lend me the Ring, I will not keep it."
Frodo shakes his head. "No! It is my burden, never yours."
The Man's face twists; exasperated, desperate. "We are doomed to folly! Our victory or death lies in your hand, and you would choose death for us all? What right does a halfling have to decide such fates? Chance has given it to you, but you do not deserve it. And you would throw it away in an act of cowardice! It is the brave and bold who should bear it, not you! Give it to me!"
A lunge. Frodo cries out, jumps back. His heart is thumping madly.
(How beautiful it is in Parth Galen. How peaceful and calm and serene. One would want to lie here and think of faraway lands and empty spaces. But neither hobbit nor Man can see that beauty. They see only the Ring, beautiful in itself, but not innocent, never innocent. It is a terrible, violent, surreal beauty. It is addictive.)
Frodo is afraid now. The Man continues, stepping forward slowly, slowly:
"Come, come, my friend. Rid yourself of it! Is it not what you desire? Let them blame me, let history blame and glorify me, for I am stronger than you and can take it whether you give it or not." Frodo swallows scared; Boromir smiles wicked. "I am too strong for you, halfling!"
Stumbling back, one fist holding tight the Ring while the other swings out. Tumbling in the grass, fighting, kicking, jostling for escape. Savage snarls and angered cries. Boromir pushes Frodo's chin back, arching his head against the ground so that his neck near snaps, and with the other hand seeks the Ring. Frodo cries out, desperate and furious, kicks outward, claws, struggles. He can feel the Ring beating against his own heart, beating with intensity. He can feel his own lust for the Ring fueling his anger.
Sting is withdrawn. Frodo brings the blade down against Boromir's forearm, slices, and the Man falls back with a pained cry. But before Frodo can jerk himself free, Boromir, infuriated, lands a heavy backhand on the hobbit's chin. There is a satisfying crack of bone. The world spins. Flashes of light. Frodo knows his choice: he rips the Ring from its necklace, thrusts it on his finger, and disappears.
Silence. Boromir, holding his bleeding arm, screams and bellows, cries out, damns the halflings to death and darkness. But Parth Galen is peaceful; he is alone. And as he sees again the field and blue sky, and realizes his betrayal, the Man falls forward on his knees, his face against the grass. He feels now the sting in his arm. Tears fall. "What madness? What cries? Ai, I am a fool. Frodo! Frodo! Come back! The madness has passed. Forgive me! Come back!"
But it is too late, too late for all. There is blood on the grass. Boromir cradles his injured arm. He sees a trail of blood leading away and disappearing. He imagines now: Frodo battered and beaten. Attacked by his ally. The wind whispers: traitor.
Surely this is a nightmare.
Boromir awoke and immediately regretted it. He was still lying by the Anduin, alone, abandoned by all. His broken body – near useless in its debilitating pain – ached, stung, burned, and throbbed with every movement. The sun was shining; it was already late morning. For many long moments, Boromir waited there, eyes open, breathing shallow. Waited for what, he could not say, though a morbid part of his mind imagined various brutal situations if a party of orcs found him.
He had betrayed the Fellowship. He had betrayed Gondor. It was only a matter of time before Sauron found the Ring. Boromir's breathing quickened. Harsh images of Minas Tirith in ruin flashed through his mind. All his honor, all his worth, everything was gone. And Middle-earth would burn for it. Boromir knew that the only options now were death or exile.
Death or exile.
The elves! Boromir felt his head spin. The treacherous, deceitful, arrogant elves! They had not even revealed their true names to Boromir. They had kept their own identities guarded while learning all his secrets. And now, they had abandoned him for crow's meat to walk these lands knowing everything. He groaned.
There was still a task. He could still mend something that had gone wrong. He needed to find the elves.
Oh, but the pain of movement!
Weak tears spilled out as he pulled and pulled, dragged his legs, tortured his stomach, tried to stand. He found the Lothlórien boat lying overturned beside him. Using its stern, he attempted to prop himself up against it. After many failed attempts, and an agony so persistent that he wanted only to lie there for three days more, Boromir managed to get upright, on his knees. He leaned heavily against the wooden bow. With each heartbeat, the pain throbbed, growing louder, unrelenting, and his nausea rose. He bit back the gorge, struggled against it. Yet it could not be ignored. Casting himself on his hands and knees, he vomited painfully. The stitches stretched and pulled, his ragged wounds clenched and tightened. He vomited again, only white-red bile, for his stomach was empty save the sickness.
It was too much. He fell to his side, not caring for his wounded shoulder or where he fell, and clutched his torso weakly with both hands. The pain had reached such a level that Boromir's mind receded back into a numb void, so that all was indistinct and blurred. Had he the strength, he would have screamed or wept from the pain. But he could do nothing, save concentrate on breathing, remaining conscious…
Up, up, son of Denethor. Get up. You are asleep.
Boromir awoke again. He had lost consciousness. The sun was much lower in the sky now. It was afternoon. He cursed himself aloud, pulled himself away from the dried mess he was lying in. This time, furious with himself and spurred on by anger, he reached for his sword, pulled himself up against the boat's side. Again, the nausea. His knees shook. He half-stumbled, half-crawled to the water's edge and dropped his head against the pebbles. The freezing water lapped up against his face, yet he welcomed it. Raising himself to his hands, he moved forward on his knees, until the water raised itself to his thighs while he knelt. There, he washed slowly, carefully. His naked torso was still mostly bandaged, and he avoided those areas. But his arms, his chest, the back of his neck, all cleaned.
Shivering, but feeling some semblance of strength returning, Boromir stood unevenly, using his sword as a cane, and walked the five or six paces back to camp. Carefully this time, he lowered himself onto the blanket. The desire to wrap himself up in a warm blanket and sleep for days was very strong, and he allowed himself a few minutes of cold repose. Then, groaning and grunting, he pushed himself up, searched for his clothes. The elves had left his things all neatly arranged. His familiar round shield lay against his pack, as did his horn.
The Horn of Gondor.
Something crept through Boromir's limbs, through his veins. A suffering, a perversion. He was an exile now. He was not of Gondor. He could never return. Boromir of Gondor, as all had once known him, was effectively dead. He crawled forward, grasped the horn. It was a splendid thing. Well-crafted, beautiful, yet now stained with his own blood. He turned it over in his hands, fell forward slightly so that his forehead rested against the curved ivory. It was cool against his brow. Rigid, smooth, white. It whispered to him.
Cradling it as if it were a child, Boromir pulled himself away from his pack. He moved towards the water, fell to his knees, rested. And then, using his good arm, he threw the horn far off into the water. It bobbed up and down as a distant white speck on the placid waves, floating evenly south. Boromir watched until it disappeared into the mist of Rauros Falls.
So be it, an exile.
He needed to dress. He had only his breeches and the thick bandages to keep the cold out. Moving slowly, closing his eyes as he swayed, he staggered back to his feet and hobbled to the pack. Lying beside the strewn blanket was a clear flask of liquid. He recognized it: miruvor. He bent down, gingerly, slowly, almost collapsed, retrieved the flask and drank. The liquor was warm. It coursed through him, and he felt some of the pain lessen. He had enough strength to dress now.
Undershirt, chain mail, red tunic, doublet, grey gambeson, black surcoat, Lórien cloak. The weight of his garments threatened to pull him to the ground, and he steadied himself against a boulder. He tied his belt loosely, enough to wear his sheath without it slipping off. Yet even so limp, the belt was enough to cause torment in his stomach. He gulped down more miruvor. His heavy gloves and vambraces lay outside the pack. The vambraces, embroidered with the White Tree. He would leave them.
When all was ready, he moved to the boat, leaned against it for support, and then struggled to overturn it. It was thankfully light, despite its size, but Boromir suffered for the effort nonetheless. He took a moment to gather his strength before continuing. He loaded in his shield, pack, sword, and bedroll.
And now for the most difficult part. Boromir nearly laughed as he recalled the ease with which he had paddled these calm waters only days before. Yet now, the task before him, to row from one bank to the next, seemed near impossible. The eastern shore was far. Perhaps an hour's paddling, at his full strength. The waters were calm, but they moved towards nearby Rauros with a strong current. He felt a flicker of despair. But he had grown accustom to despair in the last twenty years, as Mordor's power grew, and by now he knew how to quell it.
Swallowing the last of the miruvor and dropping the empty flask, he began to push the boat out onto the water. Slowly, it crept forward. He paused, caught his breath, swallowed the nausea. He was sweating. The pain surged through his limbs, but he ignored it as best he could. Again, he pushed the boat. It reached water, floated buoyant and glided out. He scrambled inside and collapsed onto the seat. A few moments of recovery, and the boat had already drifted out and towards the Falls. He could feel the fine mist, hear the heavy roar. Grabbing the oar from underneath him, he thrust it in the water and pushed. Torment in his shoulder and arm nearly let him drop the paddle into the Anduin, but he resisted, pushed on.
He found that if he moved slowly but rhythmically, the boat kept its course. Every twist of his arms as he changed side, every throb in his shoulder as he dragged the oar through the water, all this threatened to make him swoon. How the oar had seemed light only days ago! How smooth and fluid it had been! Now, to his battered and weakened body, it seemed as if he were dragging a flimsy branch through muddy earth. He struggled against the current, and the boat was often still, neither moving forward, nor gliding back. He grunted and cursed, grinding his teeth at the pain until his temples ached. It did nothing to relieve the suffering, but it helped him stay awake and moving.
Late afternoon. The setting sun burned red behind him as it disappeared in the west. Boromir drove forward. Finally, after several hours, the boat touched land. By this time, his arms screamed with strain, yet they had grown accustomed to movement, and so falling still was an even greater torment. He pushed everything out of the boat and heard his shield splash water. After that, exhausted, he managed to drag himself out and fall onto the ground. He lay for a moment, half in the water, half out, panting and moaning like a wounded animal. Then, he nudged forward his things so that they rested on dryer ground, dropped his head and fell asleep.
The boat was poorly landed. It dislodged itself from the loose pebbles and drifted out onto the Anduin. Night fell.
The elves made camp in the shadow of some fallen boulders. Sickly trunks lay half-embedded in the ground, green with ancient mold. It was an unsavory environment, but the elves were, by now, accustomed to it. They made a fire, set water to boil, checked their supplies. The sun had already set, and the early March night was very cold. This chill did not touch the elves, however, and they were grateful they were not another particular person during this night.
Third One tore a large piece of lembas into thirds. First One was seated on the boulder, staring out west, towards the path they had just come from. Second One was managing the fire.
"I do hope the Man is well," Third One said.
"E'er the sympathetic soul," Second One quipped.
"Nay, not more so than most. Only, it worries me that we left him so soon. Lembas?"
"Thank you."
First One smirked, looking down at the other two.
"Fear not, my oversensitive friend," he said. "He is doing very well. He has managed to cross the River."
Both Third One and Second One perked up at this. They stood, joined First One by the boulder. They strained their eyes and ears to perceive what the blond elf had detected. But the forest was silent, the only sounds being the howl of wind or chirp of night-insects. In the darkness, they saw an endless monotony of grey, half-dead trees stretching out on all sides. Except south, but they did not look south.
"You have heard him?" Third One asked.
"Aye," First One shrugged. "I hear little now, he must be asleep. But, as we were walking, I did hear his pained cries and wails carried by the wind. He means to follow us."
The other elves sat stunned, faint amusement tickling their expressions. First One laughed at their shock.
"To follow us?" Second One repeated.
"To challenge us, I imagine," First One replied. "He betrayed his companions, told us everything, and now, in typical Mannish fashion, he will seek us out in order to silence us."
Second One raised his eyebrows in amusement. "He would be a fool. We are three, and he is one. And a wounded, near-dead one, at that."
"Still, he did manage to cross the River," First One shrugged.
Second One laughed, and First One also chuckled. Third One remained silent, staring out into the forest. He turned back to the other elves with a worried look.
"Brothers, the night is cold for a Man," Third One said. "The fever has only just left him, and I fear for his health. Let us go and retrieve him. You say he did but cross the Anduin?"
Third One was already moving back to the camp in order to gather supplies, but a hand on his shoulder stalled him. Second One sighed musically at his young friend's haste. First One crossed his arms.
"Ah, Third One," First One chuckled. "Do not coddle the Man. Let him be. He can manage."
"It is not coddling!" Third One cried, indignant. "Foul things crawl through these woods at night, and the air is too cold. He will freeze if the wolves do not reach him first!"
"Be easy, Third One, he seemed doughty enough," Second One soothed, failing to hide a creeping smile.
Third One stared agape at his elf companions. Their shoulders trembled slightly with stifled giggles. Third One could not understand. What sort of perverse mirth was this? To enjoy another's suffering? He felt his face flush with anger.
"Third One, you are too compassionate," Second One laughed.
"Why do you laugh?" Third One demanded.
"Come, leave something for him – lay some miruvor and lembas along the path – if you are so determined to help him. But do not worry, Men are surprisingly resolute when driven by a desire to redeem their honor. It seems you prophesied correctly today. We will see that Man again ere we leave these wood."
