You've spent all spring and summer working hard in your garden—now it's time to reap what you've sown.
But how do you know that cucumber nestled on the vine is ripe for the picking?
And when do you pull up your carrots? Follow this guide to find out just when to harvest the fruits of your labor at their peak of flavor.
Beans (snap/green)
Beans actually snap in half when they're ready to be harvested, and the inner seeds make the sides of the pod bulge just slightly.
When skin is netted and the fruit separates easily from the vine, these melons are as sweet as can be.
For pickling: Harvest sweet pickles when they are 2 to 4 inches long and dills at 3 to 6 inches. Check out our recipe for Refrigerator Pickles.
For slicing: Cut from vine when cukes are a deep green, the seeds are still soft, and the fruit is 6 to 8 inches long. (Some Armenian and Japanese varieties reach 20 inches!)
"Don't let cucumbers grow too big, because the seed cavities will get more developed, which makes them less crispy and more bitter," advises Debbie Leung, OG Test Gardener in Olympia, Washington.
Leave a short stem and harvest often.
Harvest spuds after most of the vines have died, when skin is firm, and before ground temps drop below 40°F; otherwise, starches turn to sugar, ruining the taste.
Check out our 10 tips for growing awesome tomatoes and our Beginner's Guide to Home Canning.
Look for these indicators of ripeness: The tendril closest to the fruit's stem withers and browns; the belly turns cream to yellowish in color; and when you tap the fruit, you hear a dull, hollow sound.
Yum! Check out this recipe for Tomato Watermelon Salad!

Bloomington, CA — In the Bloomington High School computer lab today, Delores Curry, President of the California School Counselors Association, Ignacio Cabrera, Principal of Bloomington High School, and Dennis Byas, Superintendent of Colton Joint Unified School District, joined Dana Fudurich of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility to launch Alcohol 101 for High School Seniors, a new CD-ROM and companion Educator's Guide designed to assist in educating high school seniors about the importance of making responsible decisions about alcohol. The Century Council, a national not-for-profit organization funded distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, will provide the Bloomington School community, as well as counselors across the country, with CD-ROMs for use in their alcohol education efforts among the class of 2005.
High school students, particularly seniors, are constantly facing
decisions about alcohol. Recognizing this situation, The Foundation, and
the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), a worldwide nonprofit
organization supporting the efforts of school counselors, partnered to
create and distribute the program to assist educators in preparing
students to make informed choices about alcohol.
"Bloomington High School is proud to help distribute the Educator's Guide and CD-ROM as another tool in the fight against underage drinking among high school students. The program was developed by leading national educators with intimate knowledge of the issues facing today's high school seniors, During pilot tests, the program was well received among students and educators alike, and I am confident that our nation's school counselors will use Alcohol 101 for High School Seniors throughout the entire year to keep the responsibility message alive," said Cabrera, Principal, Bloomington High School.
Delores Curry added, "While the studies show that most teens do not drink, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility recently commissioned a study revealing that 65% of teens get the alcohol they drink from family and friends. That's right, they're getting the alcohol from right under their parents' noses or from their friend's parents or from older siblings — with or without permission. As any school counselor can tell you, communication between parents and teens is critical during not only the high school years, but as your teens graduate and begin their independent lives. We must do all we can to provide them with the tools necessary 'to lead fulfilling lives as responsible members of society'."
By demonstrating the negative outcomes of bad decisions and by providing safe and healthy alternatives, Alcohol 101 for High School Seniors encourages students to maintain safety and control in situations involving alcohol. During the program, students attend a virtual party, meeting new friends, learning a little bit about some of them and discovering that each has a "People + Alcohol" decision to be made with potential consequences. Alcohol 101 for High School Seniors allows students to make a wrong choice, and see the consequences through the safety of their computer screen. Then they can replay the scenario and make a responsible decision. Before students know what hit them, they have learned a great deal about how to take care of themselves, and their friends, in situations involving alcohol.
"On behalf of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, I could not be more pleased about our partnership with the California School Counselors Association on Alcohol 101 for High School Seniors. It is critical that every single high school educator have access to this important tool designed to help their students make safe and responsible decisions about alcohol," said Fudurich of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "By incorporating this into school programs throughout the year via ASCA's support, we hope to have a significant influence on students' ability to maintain safety and control in situations involving alcohol, particularly during key times of the year such as Prom and Graduation Season."
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, launched in 1991 and funded by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, promotes responsible decision-making regarding beverage alcohol, and if an individual is under the age of 21, the only decision is not to drink. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is headquartered in Washington, DC and is chaired by The Honorable Susan Molinari. An independent Advisory Board made up of distinguished leaders in business, government, education, medicine, and other relevant disciplines assists The Foundation in development of programs and policies. For more information on the Alcohol 101 for High School Seniors program or to order a free copy of the program, log onto www.responsibility.org or www.Alc101forHSseniors.org.
The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) is a nonprofit organization based in Alexandria, Va. Founded in 1952, ASCA supports school counselors' efforts to help students focus on academic, personal/social and career development so students not only achieve success in school but are prepared to lead fulfilling lives as responsible members of society. The association provides professional development, publications and other resources, research and advocacy to 14,000 professional school counseling practitioners around the globe.

This case explores company strategy, business-government relations, and collective action challenges associated with international and domestic lobbying regarding regulation of the chemical industry. In the fall of 2006, a five-year legislative process for a major new law regulating chemicals in the European Union appeared to be nearing its conclusion. REACH, the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals, would create a new European Chemicals Agency, require companies to submit testing data on existing and new compounds, and restrict the manufacture of hazardous substances. Andrew Liveris, CEO of the Dow Chemical Company, has to decide whether the company should engage in direct discussions with the European Parliament and Commission, with the implication that the company can influence the regulations but also would have to support the final outcome. The case summarizes Dow's history, competitive dynamics in the sector, and regulation of the chemical industry before describing the REACH legislative process and various approaches to lobbying used by chemical companies, trade groups, and environmental NGOs.

|Pointed Torsors
This paper gives a characterization of homotopy fibres of inverse image maps on groupoids of torsors that are induced by geometric morphisms, in terms of both pointed torsors and pointed cocycles, suitably defined. Cocycle techniques are used to give a complete description of such fibres, when the underlying geometric morphism is the canonical stalk on the classifying topos of a profinite group $G$. If the torsors in question are defined with respect to a constant group $H$, then the path components of the fibre can be identified with the set of continuous maps from the profinite group $G$ to the group $H$. More generally, when $H$ is not constant, this set of path components is the set of continuous maps from a pro-object in sheaves of groupoids to $H$, which pro-object can be viewed as a ``Grothendieck fundamental groupoid".
Keywords:pointed torsors, pointed cocycles, homotopy fibres

Rosh Online
Rosh Online Overview
After a tenuous peace between the four races of Broccion, the world is at war again, seeking leadership. Players take up arms for their guild and for their nation to battle for land, resources, and victory. Choose from four races (Human, Shadow, Seroine, and Vaneese Human) and seven classes (Mystic, Bow Mistress, Blader, Paladin, Rogue, Sorceress, and Gunner), then gain experience to grow into an advanced class, and Fletta to improve your abilities.
Rosh Online Screenshots
Rosh Online Featured Video
Rosh Online Review
Warning: players may experience deja vu. Ignited Games recently launched Rosh Online, which is an updated version of Karos Online. The game is fundamentally the same as before, with some quality-of-life improvements as well as a few new options to set it apart. The game still looks and feels like Shaiya and Last Chaos, providing high quality graphics and detailed environments.
Character Creation — Still Boring
Karos Online offered six classes: Mystic, Bowmistress, Blader, Paladin, Rogue and Sorceress. Rosh Online adds a new class to the mix: Gunner. Character creation options are the same, limited choices as before, giving players only three face options, four hair style options, and eight hair color choices. Classes are gender-locked, meaning you will only ever see female mystics, bowmistresses, paladins, and sorceresses, or male bladers, rogues, and gunners.
Each class has their choice between two specializations. The level requirement for this job change has been reduced to 10 in Rosh Online (from 15 in Karos Online). A second class specialization for each of these secondary jobs can also be unlocked to further develop each character's skills, and offering a total of 28 top-level classes to choose from.
What is Instruction?
Karos Online simply threw you into the game, with no instructions on how to move or interact with the world. Rosh Online has done nothing to correct this issue. While this poses no problem to MMORPG veterans, new players may quickly find themselves overwhelmed or frustrated by the lack of a tutorial. Almost all in-game interactions are accomplished by right-clicking: right-clicking an NPC interacts with them, and allows you to receive quests, while right-clicking on an enemy will initiate auto-attack. WASD can be used to move your character; click-to-move is also available. Skills are used off an action bar by pressing the appropriate number key.
Tightened Progression
There is no innovation in the combat system between Karos Online and Rosh Online, and it remains fairly simple in its design. One thing new players may find confusing, however, is the dual leveling system. Character experience and levels are earned normally through killing monsters and completing quests. Rosh Online has improved this system by making monsters worth more experience than in Karos Online, but the game still requires a significant amount of grinding in order to unlock new quests.
Once you've leveled up, you receive a skill point to place in your class abilities. Each skill has five levels, which are gated by your character level. The game, however, also has what's called the Fletta system. Fletta is gained only by killing monsters. Each time you gain a fletta level, you can put a point into one of seven different stats. Yin and Yang affect magic and health regeneration, respectively. Earth increases defense and magic defense, air increases your attack speed, fire builds up your attack power, wood increases magic attack power, and water affects both run speed and critical hit chance. Fletta points can also be spent on item enhancement, just like in Karos Online.
Questing is still far more efficient in terms of leveling, when you can do so. Quests offer far more experience than simply killing monsters. Several repeatable quests also become available as you progress, and these are by far the best way to gain both character levels and fletta points, since most send you off to slaughter a lot of monsters. These quests, at least, give purpose and extra experience to your grinding.
Inventory Woes
A major complaint with Karos Online was the limited starting inventory space. Bags were expensive to make, and many people did not sell them to other players. Rosh Online helps alleviate this problem slightly by offering a couple of bags as low level quest rewards, effectively doubling a new character's starting inventory. Even so, inventory space remains a premium, especially as all quest items take up a slot in your inventory. Crafting remains rather costly, with many items requiring uncommon or rare materials. New characters receive a very powerful set of starting equipment that will last them for a very long time, thankfully, which will help stave off crafting costs for a while.
Mounts and Pets and Fighting, Oh My!
When people think of mounts in an MMORPG, they usually don't associate them with shoulder armor. Rosh Online simplifies the mount system by doing just that: putting the item on your shoulders. Using the V key (by default) with a mount equipped allows you to summon your companion to ride. You cannot equip items, attack, or interact with NPCs and objects while mounted. Additionally, players can collect minipets for show. Pets can also help you loot items, or recover health and mana faster.
Player versus Player combat has also received a significant overhaul between Karos Online and Rosh Online. Players can turn on their PK flag at will and engage other players who also have the PK flag turned on. However, Rosh has increased the level requirement for this function to 35, far from the level 10 requirement in Karos Online. Guild versus Guild siege warfare is also promised in Rosh Online, giving players many options should PvP appeal to them.
Final Verdict: Good
Rosh Online makes some strides in improving some of the negative aspects of Karos Online. Experience gain is much better in Rosh Online, and inventory space has been improved upon. The level to initiate PvP has been increased so lower level players aren't as punished for their decision to PvP. For all that Rosh Online has done to improve upon Karos, however, it still fails to address concerns about lack of direction for new players, or provide innovation to the original game's systems. Still, it's not a bad game by any means, and fans of Karos Online may find some welcome changes.

Re: Mother Goose
I'm going to play the devil's advocate on this one. It sort of gives me the creeps.
There's that un...pie...and the look on Humpty's face (acid?) ...and the back end of the cow. Obviously, the drawing is excellent and it's very well executed but the color scheme and those elements give me an icky feeling somewhere in my soul.
friderspog1 wrote:I agree. I breast fed both of my kids and do not think that breast feeding is offensive. I think this is the cutest shirt in this derby. Woot needs to look at the fact that breast feeding is a natural thing and not an offensive thing. I hope that they have rooms for their breast feeding mothers to go to while they are at work. I am very upset with the person that rejected this design, it perpetuates the stigma against breast feeding mothers.
While I completely agree that breastfeeding isn't offensive, I am not sure that the Rejectionator rejected because of the cute baby breastfeeding. I think they rejected for the nipple without a baby.
If someone used a creme shirt, and put a baby on one side and then did something so it looked like the other side was covered (a spit-up towel over the shoulder? looking like the shirt is scrunched around the baby? a second baby?), I don't think it would be rejected.
But I could be just being optimistic, as i have breastfed 3 kids and only had a couple negative comments in all that time.

WonderWooter wrote:I find it funny that the lady is naked but the horse is totally covered up. Like reverse modesty. hee hee
good work on this one. though riding a horse naked doesn't sound very comfortable
Hi WonderWooter- Haven't seen you around the forum in awhile.
Loved your comment about reverse modesty. I hadn't thought about that.
I originally drew the design without the cover on the horse. But, I wanted to stay true to Collier's original painting while still having the element of Lady Madonna. So, I kept the cover on the horse and kept her in the buff. True to the spirit of Lady Godiva.
edit: If you look at the original painting, more of her bum is showing. I decided to cover her a bit more with the saddle...didn't know how far I could go and keep it PG for Woot.
Hooray for Bio geek shirts. Why are we so underrepresented? Gamers get literally hundreds of Tees, and even Geology majors have all the "___ Rocks!" designs. But us? Nothing.
Excellent shirt.

Disgusting. I was very skeptical about any "corruption" or whatnot before, but this clear double-standard really makes me rethink that.
Yeah.. I actually tried to make a new shirt after my (very fair) resubmission rejection. I thought creating another Mother Nature shirt would make Woot happy; you know, taking the original rejection and turning something good around with it..like Cho's "Why can't I fly friend?" Lemons..lemonade. I guess Woot doesn't see it that way. Also, Seattlejo pointed out that the Mother Goose shirt is clearly on-topic.. so why isn't this? That kind of inconsistency kills me. I guess we'll never know. No point getting upset about it, though. Thanks for your comments. =)
Bad news - they rejected my shirt with the same phrase:
Read it aloud
Also, good design (who doesn't like a rebus?), but Woot can't print gradients or transparencies, so use solid colors, or just turn off pressure sensitive coloring if you're using a tablet.

Re: MOTHER EARTH
In high school I had a physics teacher, this four foot tall spanish guy, who would say the most ridiculous things. He talked about tests being 'love letters to our brains' and if we got too loud he'd pretend to call the police (at least, I think he was pretending). Anyway, anytime someone used that classic high school comeback "Your mom!" he'd go on this long tangent "You talking about my mommy? My mother, the Earth. Well she is your mother too you know. She is big and round, and..." He was hilarious.

An artist's depiction captures the burst of new life that occurred in the early- to mid-Triassic period. Massive extinctions at the end of the preceding Permian period allowed the plants and animals that survived to grow and diversify relatively free of competition and predators. These conditions gave rise to the dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and early crocodilians.

Torchwood ... It is way too big to discuss here. Some is faith based. And inferring I should do more studying of my faith is rude at best. Faith debates are large and complex and also don't fit here. Anyway, at least as much or more has multiple other paths of reasoning. Way way too much to represent here. I wish you the best. I support that your charter org should be able to choose leaders as it sees fit. For me and my children, we will choose based on our beliefs and values. As such, I do not want my shortly-to-be 11 year old to be led by that example.

I apologize if I was rude- not my intent. My belief system is one of acceptance- that there is room at the table for all walks of life, and that none of us are above any other. We are all stronger because of our differences, not in spite of them.
Torchwood ... And I can agree with you there. We are all each others brother and need to show love and caring for each other. And I agree that none of us are above another. By my faith, we are all sinners in many ways. Personally by my own faith and reasoning, it's wrong to say one sin is worse than another or to compare sins across people. It is a personal journey and that's the important part.
I wish you the best. Peace.
My personal feelings aside here, why are people who join a group that states they do not allow homosexual adult leaders surprised when the organization finds out they are homosexual throws them out? If you want to join the club, you have to abide by the club rules. For now (hopefully to change soon) BSA does not allow its leaders to be openly homosexual. Were I to join the Knights of Columbus, I would expect to be removed when they discovered I am not Catholic. Those are the club rules (I assume). we can work to change the wrongs but we should not be surprised when the rules are upheld
Oh, I see what you are saying. No Torch, you are wrong. If it weren't about sex, then there wouldn't be a demand by the gay community for open acceptance. If you can't see that, then you need to step way back and look at the bigger picture. The gay community wants their sexual preferences out in the open for all to see because they want the image of their lifestyle viewed as equally normal by the community. Have you ever seen a gay pride parade? Shesh, you can't deny that isn't all about sex.
This is why the BSA is in a very tough situation. They want to be seen as inclusive, but accepting gays gives them an image of accepting lifestyles that many consider inappropriate for their family. Its all about image for both the gays and the BSA.
What we need to do is as you say is start respecting each other as we want to be respected despite our difference so that we can at least listen to each other. You know, act scout like by the oath and law. Also, civil discussions don't fit well with activist because they get their way by driving wedges.
pchadbo ... Knights of Columbus removal ... or not like beer.
What the BSA needs to do is allow gay leaders. For the most part the people pushing this are activists and extremists they aren't going to go and get involved in scouting. For them this is all political, so we should just agree with them, allow gay leaders, and the issue is over with. Then get all the companies that cut funding to BSA to start giving money again. Nothing else will ever gain the same press that the gay issue does.
Most of the companies that have cut funding to the BSA based on their (the company's) nondiscrimination policy also include religious discrimination.
Merlyn ... I'd be okay with local choice for that too. Chartered through a church, fine have a faith component. Chartered through a school, no faith component. I really don't have a problem with it. Just time to move on and get away from all the noise.
Sorry Merlyn, the BSA does not discriminate religiously; they simply require a spiritual component. And very few, if any companies, would have a problem with that. Of course, if they did, then they too would be discriminating, which would contradict their stance. It IS a two way street you know.
Fred: "Chartered through a church, fine have a faith component. Chartered through a school, no faith component. I really don't have a problem with it. Just time to move on and get away from all the noise."
I agree. Local option. This IS, for practical matters, what is happening unofficially anyway...except for the schools. If they went local option to the extent that schools could be completely non-discriminatory there's a chance that scouting could finally get past the 'noise' and back to scouting.
"Sorry Merlyn, the BSA does not discriminate religiously"
Of course they do.
"they simply require a spiritual component."
No, they require a belief in at least one god. Even if it was just a "spiritual component", that would still be religious discrimination.
"And very few, if any companies, would have a problem with that."
I disagree, but in any case atheists would certainly have a problem with companies that had a nondiscrimination policy yet ignored it when it came to atheists.
"Of course, if they did, then they too would be discriminating, which would contradict their stance."
No, now you're just equivocating on the meaning of discriminate. Companies don't have a policy of "no discrimination of any sort ever", they have policies like "no discrimination on the basis of religion or creed".
>>If they went local option to the extent that schools could be completely non-discriminatory there's a chance that scouting could finally get past the 'noise' and back to scouting.<<
My personal observation (very local) is that the general population has basically past the noise. Most folks I've listen too are fine with the adult restriction and don't want to get back into the "noise". I'm guessing it has to do with political correctness fatigue. But we can see it even on the forums, folks are reluctant to even discuss it. There was a discussion a few weeks ago on several different forums of why the BSA was loosing membership and the gay scout policy change was very low on the list of reasons in the discussion. That doesn't make sense to me except that folks are tired of the hostility of the discussion. The activist may have a different opinion and try to rev it up again (elections coming up), but for the most part folks are content to get back to the scouting business.
Business wise, the BSA has so many internal things going on that it behooves National to wait three or so years to measure the effects the last membership policy change had on their membership and contribution structure. Making changes in the future without knowing the consequences of past is like driving at night with the lights off.

The Sword of Elendil: 18. Chieftain's Justice
Aragorn woke in his own bed, gasping from the agony of fingers probing the wound in his side. Idhril bent over him, her intent eyes scanning his face.
He tried to smile. "Once again I am your patient."
"Be still. The wound is long, scoring into the muscle. A little lower and deeper and it would have spilled your guts."
He held his breath while she pressed a thick cloth to the still-bleeding cut. Her face contracted in worry. "This wound is in just the place that you injured when you fell last fall. Most unfortunate."
Wincing, he suppressed a groan. "Is that why it hurts so much?"
"Hush." Her fingers resumed their painful probing. At last she sat back. "I see no bone, and the muscle has not been cut as much as I feared. The ribs may be bruised again, but tight binding will aid that."
Aragorn gritted his teeth through the pain of the cleaning and stitching, but tears would water his eyes against the sharp rawness of the new wound.
Idhril poured hot water over herbs in a cup. "Sleep is what you need."
Aragorn eyed the cup with alarm. "I do not need the potion."
"Yes, you do." She held the cup to his lips. "Why is it that you brave men battle Orcs and Trolls but can't stand the taste of a little medicine?"
Dutifully, he drank the horrible stuff and then lay back, running his tongue around his mouth and swallowing to banish all traces of the taste.
Idhril rose from her bench. "Fíriel will watch you."
The girl appeared as if out of nowhere, her shy eyes big with responsibility.
Aragorn tried to lift his hand. "Wait—before you go, tell me of Daeron. How is he?"
"Better than he should be." Idhril grimaced with dislike. "The wound to the arm is deep, but it will heal. More serious is that he struck his head against the floor and lost consciousness. Now he says he does not remember what happened. He was astonished when we told him he had tried to kill the Heir of Isildur—or he pretended to be."
"He was like a man possessed. He wanted the death of one of us."
"He will answer for what he has done."
"Where is he?"
"In the lockup. We are treating his injuries as well as we can. When Hallor returns, the captains will decide what punishment he deserves." She turned to Fíriel. "I'll be back in the afternoon. Watch him close till then, and call for me if there is any change."
Fíriel stoked the fire and settled in a chair with her spinning. Closing his eyes, Aragorn turned his face to the wall. The wound burned like fire, but the memory of his rage against Daeron burned yet more fiercely. I would have killed him.
…The voice rang in his dreams. "Have you ever killed a Man, son of Arathorn? They die as easily as Orcs." He plunged his sword through Daeron's chest and throat. The man's dying mouth gaped like a fish's as he drowned in his blood.
Sticky gore covered his assassin's hands. Elrond stood before him, unyielding, the Elven light in his eyes like a god's. He raised his hand in accusation. "My son has used my gift to murder! The sword, the Black Hand, is now black with evil. He is Estel no more."
Banished from Rivendell, he hunted Orcs, but the monsters turned into Men at a cut from his blade. The wide sky wheeled and the stars turned. Barad-dûr rose above the plains of Mordor. Gil-galad and Elendil called the vanguard to the last defenses; Narsil flashed like a cold flame. King Elendil fell, shattering the blade beneath him. The sky spun, the stars turned. Another man stood before the Black Gate, holding the blade remade, glowing with the light of the sun and the moon. He died….
With the dreams again came fever, and Idhril dismissed Fíriel to take the watch herself, sternly dispensing potions when Aragorn waked. For three days he wandered the paths of the fever dreams, weeping with loss and rage. Whenever he woke, either Idhril or Fíriel gave him draughts and soothed his heated skin with cool, wet cloths.
On the third morning he woke to a clear head and rose from bed to sit in a chair in the solar. He breathed deeply of the soft late summer air. The rich smell of baking bread wafted from the ovens in the Great Hall. Through the window he could see the stables and the horses in the paddock. He thought of Brelach, his grief renewed, and wondered.
That afternoon Beleg came to him. "Again you frighten us, Aragorn."
Aragorn snorted softly. "It's not my intention. But I am recovering fast. Have you seen Daeron?"
"Every day."
"Does he remember now?"
"He says not. Indeed, he feigns great distress on the matter."
"Feigns—or truly cannot remember?"
Beleg shrugged. "He made no secret of his resentment from the day you came here. We've all seen it, and how little it becomes him. He will kill the Heir of Isildur for an old quarrel over a mere woman? I do not forget how he tried to kill my friend for the same."
"This 'mere woman' is my mother," said Aragorn through clenched teeth.
"Ah, I am sorry. I meant no disrespect."
Then mind your heedless tongue. Aragorn frowned, thinking back on Daeron's words. "You are saying now that Daeron tried to kill Arathorn? But no one has said that before. He claimed, rather, that Arathorn tried to kill him."
"That is a lie."
"Were you present? Did you see this fight? Was death the intent?"
"I was there, yes. When men take up swords, what else do they intend but death?"
"In such a match, they intend to show their skill in besting the other—at least I do. I had understood his fight with Arathorn as the same—in bitterness, yes, and no doubt with intent to shame him. But no worse."
Underneath his elegant brows, Beleg's bright eyes glittered with dislike. "I have always thought worse. He intended murder."
Aragorn frowned. "You say one thing, then another. Which is it? Why wasn't Daeron punished?"
The light in Beleg's eyes suddenly collapsed, as a fire extinguished with a spray of water. He shrugged. "Ah, what am I saying? Pardon me, I am not myself today. After all, Daeron lost his eye. Arathorn would not have him punished. Besides, no one thought he meant murder." He lowered his head; deep sorrow darkened his face and softened his voice. "I lost a wife, too—her death in childbirth, with our little son. There isn't a day when I don't think of them. But I try to keep it from poisoning my life. Now Daeron has ruined his. He will pay for what he has done."
"I am so sorry, Beleg," Aragorn whispered. The light of the day dimmed as a cloud passed over the sun.
By the time Ivorwen, Dírhael and Hallor returned to the Keep, Aragorn's wound had healed enough that he was helping Idhril in the healer's cottage, culling herbs, mixing ointments and powders, and attending on the various ills and accidents of the people of the Keep. Upon hearing the tale of Daeron's attack on her grandson, Ivorwen wept with distress, but soon she busied herself with her tasks as Warden of the Commons. Dírhael's deadly calm and Hallor's explosive fury seemed to Aragorn the opposite of what he would have expected from each man.
The next day, Hallor and Hawk called him to the map room. Hawk paced before the hearth; Hallor's pipe glowed as he drew vigorous puffs, slouched in his deep chair, eyes half-closed. "Tell us this tale again. I feel at last I have the presence of mind to listen without flying into a rage."
Aragorn again recounted the story, keeping as well as he could to a dispassionate tone. Afterward Hallor was silent for a long time, packing, lighting, and smoking his pipe, while Hawk continued pacing, his hands clutched behind his back. Finally Hallor roused. "In three days' time, I will call a moot for judgment. This matter must not poison the air of the Keep any longer. I am going to test Daeron's memory by prompting him with a false tale. We have told him nothing of what happened. We will see what is revealed, and judge accordingly."
"What is the punishment for this crime?"
"Attempted murder of the Heir of Isildur? Hanging, of course."
"No, I will not have it."
Hallor opened his eyes wide in surprise. "What do you mean? What else did you expect?"
"It was no assassin's act, but a sword fight—on my challenge, I would remind you."
Hawk slammed his hand down on the table so hard that Aragorn was sure it hurt. "And then he turned it into an assassin's act. Whether he remembers or not, that is what he did."
"The loss of memory may belie a murderer's intent. It could be a sickness of the mind."
Hallor sighed. "This is a difficult matter. If I'm convinced that he doesn't remember, and can't therefore answer for himself, I would consider exile from Thurnost. I have no wish to hang the man. For all his bitterness, he is a good Ranger. He has served our people well. And we can ill afford the loss of a man."
Hawk said darkly, "We certainly cannot afford the loss of Aragorn."
Troubled, Aragorn shifted restlessly on his feet. "Have you considered the possibility that my memory is faulty? That some other thing may be at work?"
Hallor's eyes hardened and chilled. "Why do you say that?"
"Because it must be said. I nearly killed him, Hallor. I barely stopped myself."
Hallor's smile was bitter. "A natural reaction in the heat of the moment. What man has not felt that after such a wound, and such taunting?"
"And something happened to me last fall that we still cannot explain."
"And what am I to make of that, Aragorn? What would you have me do?"
"I do not know. If he has no memory, if he is ill, how can we send him into the wild? And if he is dissembling, if he planned all along to injure or kill me, it's the same question: how can we send him into the wild—we, whose task it is to protect the people?"
"Exile or death, those are the choices, Aragorn," said Hallor. "If we do not banish him, we must hang him. We have no means to hold a traitor or a madman. As for protecting the people, we must look to ourselves first. We cannot have an untrustworthy man—for whatever reason—in our midst. It would rob us of all effectiveness."
"I believe a fit took him," Hawk said. "But who's to say what caused it, whether it be bitter hate or madness? What's to prevent it happening again? We can't lock him up; we have no men to guard him. As for you—" Hawk swung around and looked straight in Aragorn's eyes. "You must tell us. Will you vouch for your truth? Or will you force us to doubt you?"
Aragorn met his eyes. "I speak the truth about this matter. I do not know the truth about the other."
"Then do not raise the other," Hallor snapped. "There is already enough talk—yes, there is more talk. Daeron is a surly fellow, but he is well respected by the Rangers. He is known as a brave and loyal man in a tough spot. We must not feed idle talk."
Anger stirred in Aragorn's heart, but he stopped his tongue.
Hallor tapped his hand with the bowl of his pipe. "As for sending him alone into the wild, I agree that we cannot do that. I do not think he is a traitor, but if I am wrong—he knows too much to be cast out. I would consider exile to the Grey Mountains, or some other remote post."
Hawk barked a harsh laugh. "You will burden Túrin with Daeron? Not a bad idea. He is ruthless enough for this challenge. He will not hesitate to put him to death at the slightest provocation."
"No question about that."
"Have I met Túrin?" Aragorn asked.
"You would remember him if you had. He is a bear of a man, hard as a rock, and a savage at heart. Like a hero of old, as befits his name."
"That would answer, if you must seek exile. I, for one, will not agree to a hanging."
"Are you always so forgiving of those who seek your death, Aragorn?"
"There is something here we do not understand. We can't take a man's life when there is such doubt."
"At the least, shouldn't you wait to hear what he says before you speak so firmly?"
"I heard him that day, Hallor. What could he say worse?"
"The judgment must be put before the moot. Twenty men are needed for such a case."
"There is one thing more," Aragorn said. "I would like to examine him as a healer before this is decided."
Hallor plucked his pipe from his mouth. "Out of the question. It would be very unwise for you to meet at all until after the judgment. But if you think you can get his cooperation, I will consider it then. Although I would ask, why do you wish to?"
"I owe it to him because of the scar he bears, that's my father's doing. And for my mother's sake." And because of the shame that grips me, remembering the terrible moment when I wanted to kill him. "I have some small skill with Elven healing, very little it is true, but it may be enough to help him, or at the least to judge his truth. Then, at least, he will be of more use at his post. As it is, Idhril tells me that he suffers from severe headaches and black spells. Elven healing can help this."
Hallor drummed his fingers on the table, regarding Aragorn with a thoughtful, steady gaze. "All right. You may ask him. And we will see."
To set up the Great Hall for trial, a long table was placed on the dais, with a space before for the prisoner. Benches were lined up for the moot: the harbor master, the master of horse, farmers and craftsmen of Thurnost and the lands around—all sat grave and silent. Others gathered behind them in silent rows; men at arms stood against the walls and at the doors.
Hallor, Hawk and Ingold, newly returned to the Keep, presided at the head table; Aragorn, Beleg, Dírhael and Ivorwen sat behind the moot on the last bench. The doors opened, revealing Daeron, in chains, escorted by two armed guards. The guards brought the prisoner to the space before the judges and unchained him. But they stood behind him, swords drawn and at the ready.
Haggard and pale, Daeron kept his eyes focused on the floor. His arm was bound and set in a sling. The sight of that defeated face moved Aragorn to pity.
"Daeron son of Galdor," Hallor's voice rang out at its most commanding. "You stand here to face your judgment for your grave misdeed. The moot will hear your case and judge according to the laws of Númenor in these lands of exile. In Númenor of old such was the peace and prosperity of that beautiful land that there was little cause for judgment or punishment. But here, in Middle-earth, the laws of our people are harsh—of necessity. You are charged with drawing arms with intent to kill Aragorn son of Arathorn, the Heir of Isildur and by birth our chieftain. Therefore your assault is also treason. What do you answer?"
Daeron licked his lips and swallowed several times before speaking in a low, rough, guttural voice: "I am no traitor."
Hallor's voice rolled out, steady and full of authority. "Did you not attack Aragorn when he carried no sword to defend himself?"
"I do not remember."
"You lie. You jumped Aragorn from behind and tried to stab him in the back."
Daeron seemed to slouch sideways, as if to fall, when the guard on his uninjured side seized his arm and hauled him up to stand. Shaking, he spoke so low that no one could hear.
"Answer me," Hallor commanded.
"Then I deserve death," Daeron croaked.
"You sought to murder the rightful king of Arnor. Are you in the pay of Mordor?"
Daeron raised his chin. "No!"
"Why else would you commit this terrible crime? Why would you strike and wound your lord?"
"I don't know," Daeron whispered.
"I do know. I say that you are a bitter man, driven by hate to attempt murder—a crime that deserves hanging or exile."
Daeron turned ashen grey.
Hallor's eyes never left him as the heavy silence dragged on. At last he beckoned to Aragorn, and Hawk and Ingold as the judges, and, drawing them aside, spoke low. "What do you think?"
"You know my mind on this," said Aragorn. "Perhaps I am misled by my own wishes, but I believe him."
Ingold nodded. "Either he is a very good dissembler or he is telling the truth. And whatever else the man is, I have never known him for a liar. A bully, a surly man—yes, but I always rather wished he would make a pretense of civility."
"I cede to your judgment, Hallor," said Hawk.
They returned to their places, Hallor standing at the table. "Daeron, we question if your claim of no memory is real or not. Aragorn will tell how this evil deed happened."
Aragorn stood before the judges' table and looked steadily at Daeron, but the man avoided his eyes. He told the story, sparing no truth, even of his own near strike at Daeron's life. He watched the man carefully for signs of regret, or of memory, old or resurfaced. Daeron's expression grew more wretched, and his already pale cheeks sank into a ghostly whiteness, as the story progressed. No, this man remembers nothing. I will help him, if I can. "You sought my death, but I do not know why. Can you answer?"
"I am no traitor," Daeron whispered.
The three judges consulted before Hallor again took command of the proceedings. He turned to the men of the moot. "It is for you twenty to vote and decide: shall Daeron be punished for this deed? Upon your judgment, I will pronounce the punishment, if there is to be one."
Each man had two small stones: one black, one white. In silence, they cast their votes: eighteen for punishment, two for acquittal.
Two at least question my words, Aragorn thought. He strove for an impassive expression.
Hallor raised his eyes to Daeron. "The moot declares you are to be punished. Therefore, for this deed, Daeron son of Galdor, I banish you for life from Thurnost and all lands of the Angle. We will allow your wound to heal, but then you must at once leave the Keep. You are exiled to the Ranger post at the Grey Mountains. There you may redeem some honor, if you yet have honor remaining in your heart. If you betray or disobey any order given to you by your captain, you will be put to death."
Daeron's head drooped still lower. "It is only what I deserve."
The grave eyes of the silent witnesses followed him as the guards shackled him and led him from the Hall.
"Do you still wish to examine him?" asked Hallor.
Aragorn ran his fingers through his hair. "More than ever. I do not trust how any of this seems."
"It would look well, with those two votes for his innocence. I did not like that."
"It's not that at all," Aragorn said. "Elrond taught me to never withhold treatment when it may be of some good. In this case, I believe it's my duty to try."
"Tomorrow morning, then," Hallor said. "Hawk will go with you."
Elven healing required rigorous preparation, beginning with a clean body and a clear mind. The next morning, after a soak in the bathhouse, Aragorn dressed and began his breathing and centering exercises, reaching into his own mind for the pathways that carried the power. When Elrond had taught him, he had said, "Until you reach your full power, you may still be able to bring aid to some, and it is your duty to try. Beware of pushing yourself too far. The power will never harm the patient, but an untrained power can be deadly to the healer." Aragorn only hoped that he could bring some healing to Daeron.
In the dark, chilly lockup, reached by tunnels through the black rock of the Keep's walls, Daeron was seated on his cot, head bowed. A small brazier stood outside the barred door, providing some warmth.
When Aragorn caught Daeron's eye, alarmed suffused his face, and he lurched to his feet.
Hawk unlocked the door and Aragorn entered, to stand before the prisoner. "I have some skill with Elven healing, taught to me by Elrond. It might help you. I can't promise that I will succeed, but I cannot do you any harm, that is sure."
Despair, hope, surprise, suspicion—all warred in Daeron's face. "Why?"
"Because I may be able to ease your condition, if you're willing. I can promise nothing, but I judge it worthy of a try."
"Why would you want to help me, who tried to kill you?"
The man's bleak despair convinced Aragorn even further that he truly did not remember. What lay hidden in those buried memories? "Will you accept it if I say it's not for your sake, but because of a promise I made to Elrond?"
Daeron kept to a long silence. Aragorn waited. Hawk stood outside the gate, watching Daeron closely.
"All right," Daeron finally said. "But only for this: I will not ask your forgiveness, because what I did is unforgivable. I ask only that you accept my horror at my own deed. I don't understand what happened. Whatever else I am, I am no traitor, Aragorn."
"I believe you," Aragorn said.
They went to the healer's cottage for the examination. Aragorn had Daeron lie down on a low couch, and he sat on a stool beside the bed. "Close your eyes."
First he crushed leaves of athelas into a steaming bowl of water, and allowed the wholesome scent to sweeten the air. He felt its strength in his body and mind, and watched while Daeron's breathing softened. Then, gently, he took Daeron's rough, callused hands in his own. Aragorn spoke the Quenya words that Elrond had taught him, and held Daeron's hands in a firm grip till he felt the tension leave his long, nervous fingers. The pathways indeed were open, and he recognized some power there, hoping fervently that it was enough. But nothing seemed to happen. In despair, he concentrated with all his will. At least I sense no evil.
At last he released his hold. "You may open your eyes."
Daeron's grey eyes held surprise, relief. "What happened?"
Smiling, Aragorn shook his head. "I hardly know. Perhaps nothing. Has the pain gone?"
"Not gone," Daeron answered. "But less. And somehow, I feel cleaner, if that makes any sense."
"That is good."
"Will my memory return?" Daeron asked.
"I don't know." He stood up. "Stay here and rest. The athelas will bring more benefit if you continue to breathe the scent."
"Thank you," Daeron said.
Aragorn smiled and bowed his head. He left the room, determined not to let the man see his sudden exhaustion. He went to his room, collapsed onto the bed, and slept for a long, long time.

Subafilms Ltd. The Beatles' 1968 animated classic "Yellow Submarine" will be screened at 7 p.m. Thursday at Libbey Bowl in Ojai. The free screening kicks off the 13th Ojai Film Festival.
Subafilms Ltd. The Beatles meet a helpful "nowhere man" named Jeremy Hillary Boob during their travels in "Yellow Submarine."
The Beatles recorded just two songs specifically for the "Yellow Submarine" album: "All Together Now" and "Hey Bulldog." The other two new songs on the LP, "Only a Northern Song" and "It's All Too Much," were "Sgt. Pepper"-era tracks.
When the restored version of "Yellow Submarine" was released in May, Dark Hall Mansion issued a five-print folio featuring artist Tom Whalen's contemporary interpretations of the film's iconic imagery. Visit darkhallmansion.com for more information.
The Beatles — Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison — bring music back to Pepperland in "Yellow Submarine."
The Beatles didn't record their own dialogue for "Yellow Submarine." The voices were done by Paul Angelis (Ringo Starr, left, and George Harrison); Geoffrey Hughes (Paul McCartney); and John Clive (John Lennon). Peter Batten also did some of Harrison's dialogue, but is uncredited in the film. He was fired from the project following his arrest for deserting the British Army in Germany.

Paul McCartney (from left), Ringo Starr and George Harrison pose with a cutout of John Lennon's "Yellow Submarine" character at the film's launch in London, England, on July 8, 1968. Lennon was absent from the premiere.
At the end of "Yellow Submarine," The Beatles — Paul McCartney (from left), Ringo Starr, George Harrison and John Lennon — make an in-the-flesh cameo. Lennon warns that "newer and bluer Meanies have been sighted" and urges fans to start singing "All Together Now" to ward them off.
A spiffed-up version of The Beatles' eye-popping 1968 movie "Yellow Submarine" was released in May. Each frame of the film was painstakingly restored by hand.

During this Thanksgiving season, I'd like to pay a small tribute to Gladys Dulls. Who's Gladys Dulls? She's one of the first people with type 1 diabetes to take insulin, following insulin's discovery in 1922. She's also one of the longest survivors with type 1 diabetes.
In November 1924, at the age of seven, Gladys became deathly ill and was diagnosed with diabetes. Gladys was instructed to eat meat and avoid carbohydrates in an attempt to control her blood glucose. At this time, insulin had just been discovered, but very few physicians had access to the new miracle drug.
Gladys' family scraped together enough money for a train trip to Rochester, Minn., and took Gladys to the Mayo Clinic. Gladys received her first insulin injection and has since taken 60,000 + more. By 2007, Gladys had been on insulin therapy for 83 years — longer than any person in history. Gladys didn't let diabetes slow her down. She got married, had a son, worked part-time for 30 years in a portrait studio, and was a snowmobile rider and hiker.
After doing some internet research, it appears Gladys passed away in 2008 at the age of 91. If anyone knows anything different, please let me know. Gladys attributed her longevity to her rigorous self-discipline. She said, "I am careful to eat the right foods and to not eat too much food." Genetics also played a role in protecting her against diabetes complications.
Here's to you, Gladys Dull, for the strength and courage to lead a life not defined by your diabetes.
Your thoughts?
Have a good week.

I read about Gladys after a particularly difficult day. I have been diabetic for almost 60 years and I am living a very active life with no complications. My aunt Kathleen, who I am named for, died in her early 20's from diabetes as the new insulin could not be obtained fast enough to save her life.
Diabetes takes lots of work and self control abut diabetes can also lead to a wonderful and particulary healthy life. Kate
Everyone talks about the bad effects that diabetes will have on our lives. No one says that if you manage diabetes well that you may only experience few detrimental effects such as amputations, blindness, etc, Doctors are often the first to throw a diabetic patient under-the-bus.
Insist on the best treatment for wounds and do your part to keep blood sugars low. Never give up on controlling the condition, We are only human so don't punish yourself for this condition.
Personally I insist on NOT being called a 'diabetic.' A nurse comes in the room and asks, "Are you A diabetic?" I answer NO. I am a lady, a human being still with a disease called diabetes. Calling someone a diabetic is creating a new entity that may not be human.
I guess my point is I am still Judy, the same person I was before my diagnosis of diabetes. I am still human and my life continues. I refuse to be defined by diabetes which, is an illness and never should be used to define the human being sitting in the examination room or hospital bed.
Diabetes enters a life like a whirlwind and it changes one's life quickly. Don't let jargon comfortable for medical professionals strip away who you are.
I just lost my Grandmother; she was 84 and gave herself insulin for 50 years. It is very comforting that when I start likely in the next two weeks that there is a chance for longevity if you are smart about your actions.
What a wonderful blog post, we can all learn from her example. Thankfully we have come a long way since 1922 in terms of medicine and knowledge.
Very inspiring.A beacon of hope to all diabetic sufferers who are disciplined and determined to be in control and not the other way round as shown by gladys dulls.
thanks for the article what a remarkable lady.dont suppose she left any diet sheets around ?
