Documentary film "Who Cares About Kelsey?" to air on NHPTV on Jan. 19-20
Friday, January 11, 2013
DURHAM — "Who Cares About Kelsey?", the award-winning documentary by University of New Hampshire Institute on Disability filmmaker Dan Habib, gets its broadcast premiere on New Hampshire Public Television EXPLORE (Channel 11 for Comcast customers) on Saturday, Jan. 19 at 8 p.m. The film will also be broadcast on Sunday, Jan. 20 at 6 p.m.
The film captures a pressing national issue: poor outcomes for students with emotional and behavioral disabilities (EBD). Youth with EBD:
have the worst graduation rates of all students with disabilities. Nationally, only 40 percent of students with EBD graduate from high school, compared to the national graduation average of 76 percent. And, they are:
■ Three times as likely as other students to be arrested before leaving school.
■ Twice as likely as other students with other disabilities (e.g. developmental or learning) to be living in a correctional facility, halfway house, drug treatment center, or on the street after leaving school.
■ Twice as likely as students with other disabilities to become teenage mothers.
"Who Cares About Kelsey?" has been screened at film festivals, national conferences, and school districts around the country and has garnered media attention in Education Week magazine and on New Hampshire Chronicle and Boston public radio station WBUR. "Who Cares About Kelsey?" is Habib's second feature-length film; his previous work includes the Emmy-nominated documentary "Including Samuel," which was broadcast nationwide on public television stations in fall 2009.
The "Who Cares About Kelsey?" film project also includes nine mini-films documenting the lives of students with emotional/behavioral challenges. The project captures innovative educational approaches that help these students to succeed while improving the overall school culture and climate. The project also includes extensive educational materials and a national outreach/engagement campaign. These elements combine to form a powerful professional development tool and catalyst for public awareness and social change.

Amendola will have to deal with Welker comparisons
Saturday, March 16, 2013
New Patriots receiver Danny Amendola is used to following in Wes Welker's footsteps.
Welker was Tom Brady's favorite target during his stay in New England, with at least 100 receptions in five of the six years -- including an AFC-leading 118 last season. But a year after tagging him as their franchise player, the Patriots allowed Welker to walk as a free agent and he signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the Broncos.
But the Patriots reportedly underbid the Denver offer by as much as $2 million, and Amendola said "it all started going down" with the team on Tuesday, a day before Welker signed with the Broncos.
"Just the familiarity I had already with the offense and what I feel like I can bring to the table, that's what excites me the most," he said. "The first goal of mine right now is to just fulfill a role on the team really, just find my niche and meet the guys and start working. I'm really not worried about a lot of things down the line.
"That was everything."

No love for Purity Ring on that Friday? It'll probably before the Funk and Soul party.
This might not appeal to anyone, but Nick Lowe Monday 10/01/12 at the musical instrument museum. And so it goes..
Well he's not as exciting as PIL. Similar in style to Elvis Costello, but his last album has a retro 50s feel. He also did an album with a band called Rockpile.
I got my Presets tickets for the Pomona show yesterday! It's just a few days before PIL so that should be a great week.
Who wants my ID fest tickets???! Cash or sexual favors only please
Bleached is the opener for that Japandroids show. Really good if you're into the three chord grungy stuff. I'm not a big fan of Martini, but it's ok. My recollection is the floor space is somewhat small and then there are some tables in the back. Some of the tables are on a raised level near the soundbooth. But 100 or so people and the floor would be packed, but with the stage sitting about waist high it's easy to get a good view. At least there are taxis in that area to drive me home.
The Japandroids album is still one of my favorites of the year. I've only seen them once and it was a very high energy show. They also connected with the crowd really well so I'll still hit up that show despite having to go up to Scottsdale.
Matthew Dear and Light Asylum at RR Oct 29th. I really dig both of these artists. The Light Asylum singer reminds me of Alison Moyet, especially on A Certain Somone and Shallow Tears.
This ain't no middle of the mall shit.
The Weeknd, Wednesday Oct 10th, Celebrity Theater, $41.50
Fresh off his "JUICY AUSTRALIA TOUR"
Pil on Oct 30 and Japandroids Nov 7. These midweek concerts are going to kill me. I should just go to Austin the weekend in between and catch them both.

This blog is the second in a two-part series in which we discuss how to respectfully support your loved one with diabetes.
Last week, Nancy discussed some thoughts about how to help your loved one with diabetes while maintaining healthy boundaries. I later found these 10 tips for "diabetes etiquette for people who don't have diabetes," from the Behavioral Diabetes Institute, and wanted to share them with you.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Have a great week!

I actually looked for this ...diabetic etiquette..as I was recently embarrassed by a friend of mine at a funeral dinner..I had filled 1/2 of my plate with a green salad and vegis..had 1 tbs of corn...1 small chix wing..1 tbs of mac salad...no bread...with a diet rootbeer. Then once dessert was served..I had one serving spoon of a jello that was mixed with whip topping and oranges...even tho I really wanted the pecan pie, the cherry crisp, the vanilla cupcakes..I chose what I thought was the best choice ...when I sat down...this was what she said in front of the entire table..."you cant have that...you are diabetic!!" How can folks be so rude to call you out like that...I didnt even bother with an explanation...that I count carbs...whether they contain sugar or not...So Frustrating...when you are trying your best!!
Mag: We appreciate your viewpoint! Thank you. Having 2 sons with type 1 diabetes, I(Peggy) generally do not interfere but sometimes I find it hard to resist the urge to voice my concern. They seem to appreciate that I ask permission and usually they say yes but I realize that I must respect their answer either way!
Hey! Thanks ladies!! Common sense stuff -- but we need to be reminded.
My husband has been a type 1 diabetic for 40 yrs. My life has been up and down,it is hard to live with a diabetic. I want to know and have asked his dr's why isn't there a video ever recorded to show the diabetics what it is like when their sugar gets low???!!! And no one can tell me why. If they(diabetics) can see one maybe that they would control themselves better. It really is a hard burden on a spouse. I know that they also have heart, eye and feet problems. I just want to know what else is next in store for me? Thanks for listening to me, almost drained.
Amen, mag. And well put!
I am type 1 for 30 yrs now. Every once in a while, I just give up and don't care!! I have my fav cookies and buy them and sneak them until they are gone. In the meantime, my sugars are sky-high, my eyesight is just about GONE (sugar on my lenses) and just feeling awful. My loved one does notice my "binge" and does speak up to me and actually, I am glad he does!! Sometimes, you just need someone who loves you to bring you back to reality and let you know that your hard struggle each/every day is worth while!! He makes me know that those cookies or whatever my binge is...aren't as important as ME living and my eyesight. I get mad, but really, NEED those unwanted comments from my loved ones!! Just another view on this "etiquette" because sometimes, we loose focus, don't care, binge and not only hurt ourselves, but everyone who cares about us. Loved ones speaking up, that makes all the difference and reminds me how much I am loved and needed. Just thought I would throw this opinion in there. Thanks for the opportunity to speak here. MAG
Thank you for the tips - I found them very helpful - they are relevant in other situations. I trust I will remember them when I need to.
Anne- I know how you feel. I really do. While the consequences of neglecting diabetes may not be immediate, they will come. With Crohns, it can mean being admitted to the hospital hours after a spicy or high fiber meal. I am working on weight loss, dietary changes, and daily exercise in order to prevent T2 consequences - or at least slow them down.
My very intelligent type 2 loved one doesn't ask for help, and also doesn't follow any of the standard diet /exercise advice. I am supportive, invite him on walka, buy and cook healthy foods. He cooks too, uses rich foods and eats heartily. It's so hard to sit by and 'watch poor choices being made.
As a T2 and a wife of a man with Crohns disease, I must play devils advocate. Sometimes I ride my husband about what he eats because his flare ups affect the whole family. If he is hospitalized, in pain, unable to work, etc, we all suffer. So, yes, it can be annoying when loved ones offer advice but they be attempting to prevent family upset. People with chronic health issues have more than themselves to consider...myself included.
Shelly: You state "a close relative and has leaned on me to help with diet". To me, your relative has given you permission to help him with diet, etc. The relative may listen and even appreciate your advice but will not necessarily follow through. I do realize that it is very difficult to watch a loved one/friend make poor choices, but it is their choice.
All I have to say is: Here! Here! Well said!
What would you do if the person with diabetes is a close relative and has leaned on me to help with diet but still that person doesn't take responsibility regarding portion control of carbohydrates and doesn't do any exercise despite I have offered support for exercise. When you care about the person and you see that she/he doesn't takes control of her/his health, it is very frustrating and very difficult not to intervene.
Well said Maureen
I wish I had been given such tips ten years ago
when type 1 struck our family
Thank you! Very well said.
My son has had type 1 diabetes for 20 years. Your 10 tips for diabetes etiquette is so helpful that it needs to be heard by a wider audience. Can you send this to Dear Amy or Dear Abby (advise columnists) that get read religiously by millions of people daily. The Mayo Clinic is a well respected medical institution. What a great service that would be to all diabetics!
I have close relatives with diabtes, and also have a chronic disease myself. I think this advice is important. Living with issues like these is hard, and it isn't always easy to hear the "advice" of others. It adds another strain to your day. People mean well, but it usually doesn't translate well.
Great suggestions for those who do not have diabetes. Esp the one about supporting healthy decisions. Even if we slip up sometimes, the encouragement helps maintain.
You can also ask your nurse practitioner or someone else to repeat the test to verify her diagnosis. Unfortunately it is easier to just assign you to a class and equipment pick up rather than open your medical records and do a thorough analysis to see if there has been a trend upward in your glucose levels and why. As the article says, there are many contributing factors to glucose levels.
The American Diabetes Association's classifications for pre-diabetes are; A1c greater than 5.7 or (5.8-6.4)and fasting bg greater than 100 or (101-125) Sounds like your off the hook for now.
My husband was diagnosed w/type II diabetes about 15 yrs.ago & keeps it controlled w/exercise and oral meds quite well. He also tests my blood sugar regularly. Normally my non-fasting blood sugar is mid 70's to mid 80's. Last week I had fasting blood work done for an annual checkup. I rec'vd a call today to go in for a glucose meter and diabetic classes & will be put on diabetic meds. The Nurse Practioner insisted that I'm borderline diabetic. My lab fasting was 100 ( 20 +/- higher than normal w/non-fasting) and my hemoglobin was 5.6. I thought that even their #'s for me were in normal range. What do you think ???????

American speedskater Shani Davis failed to add another medal to his Olympic haul Wednesday, finishing eighth in the 1,000 meters.
Davis, skating in his third -- and likely last -- Olympics, had been seeking his third straight gold in the event, after winning in both Turin in 2006 and in Vancouver in 2010.
Stefan Groothuis of the Netherlands won gold, with Canadian Denny Morrison finishing second to claim silver and Groothuis' countryman Michel Mulder coming in third for bronze.
American Brian Hansen finished ninth. Hansen, a 23-year-old Illinois native, made his Olympic debut in 2010, placing 19th in the 1,500 and winning silver as part of the second-place American pursuit team.
Earlier in the Sochi Games, Hansen pulled out of the 500 meters to focus on his other events.
Davis, 31, was aiming to become the first American to win three straight gold medals in a single event at the Winter Olympics. Snowboarder Shaun White also had a chance to be the first Tuesday in halfpipe, but finished in fourth place.
Besides his two golds in the 1,000-meter distance, he also owns silvers in the 1,500 from Turin in 2006 and Vancouver in 2010. He will seek a third medal in that distance on Saturday in Sochi and is scheduled to be a part of the team pursuit event on Feb. 22. Earlier in Sochi he finished 24th in the 500 meters.
The world-record holder in both the 1,000 and the 1,500, Davis is still two medals away from becoming America's most decorated male long-track speedskater.

Phoronix: The EXT4 Corruption Bug Is Fixed
Last week it was discovered an EXT4 file-system corruption bug hit the stable Linux kernel. The true cause of this EXT4 bug has now been uncovered and patched within the mainline Linux kernel...
Yay! We don't need filesystems that get silently corrupted! Thanks for the fix. Hopefully major distros will backport the fix to previous 3.x kernels.
Is it fixed in 3.6.4?
Much to do about nothing.
More people win the lottery and get struck by lightning on the same day than run into this bug.
THANKS Ted!!! You are the best!!
Looks like Greg forgot to mention the fix in the 3.6.5 changelog. I can't see any reference to "fs/ext4/ialloc.c" in https://lwn.net/Articles/522218/ but I just verified the patch at http://tinyurl.com/cck5a99 is included anyway.
While it is great that the bug was quickly fixed and the patch will be back-ported to kernels that contain the bug, I would like to thank Ted on the way he and the kernel developers handled the bug.
Every step of the way, the bug and its development was kept completely transparent. Ted wrote on his blog progress reports as they delved into the bug and tried to replicate it and possible solutions.
This is one of the primary reasons I support and love open source development. Things break - it's human nature to err. But when they do, we aren't kept in the dark. We are promptly informed and given help on how to mitigate damage.

One of the things the LDS Church (Mormon) is often known for is the strong interest in genealogy. The Church's contributions to the preservation of innumerable historical documents has helped the genealogical community for decades. I am often surprised, then, when I talk to baby genealogists who have never stepped into an LDS Family History Center (FHC). If you have not visited your local center, let me give you a few reasons to make a visit a priority in your search for your ancestral kin…
1. A Wealth of Microfilms. Some of the first preservation of records across the world was conducted by LDS genealogists under the original direction of the Genealogical Society of Utah. They photographed old court records, church books, and more onto microfilm. FamilySearch, a non-profit arm of the LDS church maintains these records on and offline. They now work at an astounding rate to digitize and index these microfilms and make them available online. Using FamilySearch online will be our next post. Not all microfilms are online, but are still available to order and have sent to your local FHC to be read on a microfilm reader. Many FHCs even have microfilm readers that will digitize your selected pages from the film to print or download onto a flashdrive. Check the catalog for records you may need from the location your ancestors came. Clicking on a film number will take you to an online ordering system. Select the FHC you wish the film to arrive at, pay online using your credit card or PayPal, and you will receive emails notifying you of the status of your order. Films generally cost $7.50 for postage and handling, and are available to be viewed at your local FHC for 6-8 weeks, depending on your location. You can pay more to extend that time. For me, ordering a $7.50 film from an out-of-state courthouse is worth the price.
2. Resources galore at the library. There are two types of libraries available from FamilySearch: the Family History Library (FHL) in Salt Lake and smaller local libraries known as Family History Centers, often located in part of an LDS meetinghouse. The Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, is considered by many a genealogical mecca. People travel there from all over, individually and in special groups, to have the opportunity to view all the films, books and indexes, and special collections, most of which are on site or can be ordered within a day or so. One popular group research trip is organized by the National Genealogical Society twice a year. Free classes are available onsite at the FHL, separate from these group trips. There is still much available in your local FHC as well. General how-to books, maps, magazines, and indexes featuring local history are available to patrons to view within each FHC. Each FHC has an unique collection, depending on contributions or local needs. There is an easy-to-use FHC finder on the FamilySearch website to direct you to the one closest to you.
3. Helpful Volunteers. While you cannot reasonably expect to find an expert on your particular genealogical conundrum at each local FHC, what you will find are people who are dedicated volunteers willing to help the best they can. They can help familiarize you with the center, its holdings and hours, and the websites available for free online when you visit. You don't have to be a member of the LDS Church to volunteer yourself, you might consider donating a few hours a month to help out there too; ask the local FHC Director for more information.
4. Online Access to Premium Sites. Many premium online genealogy websites have generously donated access to their collections if you are using computers at the FHC and at the FHL. Sites such as Ancestry.com, fold3, WorldVitalRecords.com, HistoricMapWorks, and NewspaperArchive.com are just some of the collections you can peruse while you visit. The bonus is that those helpful volunteers often have experience with these sites and can assist you in person to familiarize yourself with those online collections.
5. Best of all, its FREE! People are always welcome in the Family History Centers, free of charge. You need not expect proselytizing about the LDS church, the goal in the FHCs is to help you with your family history. The only charges you might see are for the films, and those are generously low. Now even copies are no charge in many local FHCs.
Perhaps a quote from Maya Angelou is appropriate here. She said:
"We need to haunt the house of history and listen anew to the ancestors' wisdom."
Perhaps the Family History Library and local Family History Centers are some of those tangible houses of history filled with valuable resources to genealogists of all levels. Visit one today and let us know of your experiences there!

Despite conventional wisdom that the U.S. immigrant workforce is shaped like an hourglass—wide at the top and the bottom but narrow in the middle— in reality immigrants are more evenly dispersed across the skills spectrum. This report shows that the fastest growth in immigrant employment since 2000 has occurred in middle-skilled jobs.

How to prepare for new flooring
Whether you go for vinyl, carpet or even ceramic tiles, changing your floor covering is a great way to give a room a new lease of life. But before you start work, make sure the surface underneath is sound and level. If it isn't, any defects are likely to show through. This will spoil the look of your new floor and eventually cause it to wear unevenly. Luckily, there are some effective ways to deal with problem floors which we will share with you.

Ah, the usual "Oh, they may be wrong" followed by an avalanche of denialist "Oh, we told you so". Funny how people wanting to Keep Things As They Are grasp the slightest straws.
Standard denialist stuff, dancing for the mainstream in order to breed inaction.
Two points: (a) Some deep ocean heating. Has happened in past. It's bad news, because that deep ocean heat will come back out again, ON TOP of whatever warming there is. (b) The "pause" is apparently a result of insufficient metering in the Arctic region, where most of the warming has gone. That the poles would warm asymmetrically has been suspected since Fourier in 1824.

Ok, I correct it for you.
It is to restrict the right to distribute the binary with mixed code of any GPL and CDDL.
Specifically because CDDL allows static link for no reason and GPL prohibits it.
CDDL does not prevent code being GPLed. CDDL is simply designed by brain-damaged Sun elitists, that failed to adapt and contribute to ecosystem and opposed the community.
So as a post-mortem "present", they left a CDDL'ed ZFS.
Which is shame, because I really loved Solaris.
Funny enough Oracle changed nothing about it, thus damaging its reputation as FLOSS supporter. CDDL did not prevent use of ZFS on GPLed systems.
Permissive licenses grant the user rights, while prohibitive licenses reserve, limit or take the rights away.
One of the conditions to make sure the user really gets the advertized rights is to prohibit taking rights away, which is single restricted right in GPL.
Anyone who bullshits GPL essentially bullshits right to protect freedom.

BSD code can't be GPL'ed either. It can be mixed with GPL code while retaining its original BSD license, in the same way that it can be mixed with proprietary code while retaining its original license.
You can't relicense BSD code any more than you can relicense GPL code (ie you need approval from the copyright holders).
Might as well remove thier pants and bentover next to a sign saying "rape here for free"
There's nothing further from the truth. Linux was written from scratch and it has code very different from unix but causes it to act like unix. BSD is a copy of unix, no innovation or whatsoever just blatent copying of code.
BSD deserved that lawsuit. I just wished it had completely distroyed BSD. Ban them completely from touching the code.
Why does the GNU website differentiate between copyleft and permissive non-copyleft free software licenses, if all free software licenses are permissive?http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-copyleft.htmlIn the GNU Project we usually recommend people use copyleft licenses like GNU GPL, rather than permissive non-copyleft free software licenses.
Why can't we find one place on the whole site that the GPL is a permissive license?
Why does the Copyfree organization states that the Wikipedia definition is thehttp://copyfree.org/permissive/closest thing to a clear definition of the term "permissive license"
Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:
1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this
list of conditions and the following disclaimer.
BSD was part of TCP/IP, virtual memory, file system, sockets, ARPANET... remember?
GNU/GPL was not part of a research project, hence no innovation, hence not academic.
2) No, GPL is not academic, as pointed earlied. BSD, on the other hand, was. Also, I'm not an extremist when it comes to open/closed source; I think open-source is valuable, and personaly I had learned a lot from it, but I don't see closed-source as an enemy, as is usually seen by the GNU/GPL camp.
3) I don't find GPL's protection mechanism as freedom, nor BSD's abscense of them as anti-free.
"The way it was characterized politically, you had copyright, which is what the big companies use to lock everything up; you had copyleft, which is free software's way of making sure they can't lock it up; and then Berkeley had what we called copycenter, which is take it down to the copy center and make as many copies as you want."
Kirk McKusick, BSDCon 1999
I don't depend on "GPL people" so I would give a fuck if they give a fuck.
http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensourc...k/kirkmck.html and tell me that the BSD folks weren't fighting for freedom if you dare.
So, do you think that you, FSF, GNU, GPL or Richard Stallman really have the last word in this? You should stop thinking of yourselves as owners of the truth.
I think the term 'freedom' is one of the most controversial used throughout history, and neither of us are in the position to say what it is and what it isn't. The most we can do is say what represents closer our ideal of freedom
Also, notice that not everyone agrees with Stallman and the GNU/GPL project; it is not a BSD-exclusive thing. For example, look at the way Linus Torvalds thinks: https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/9/25/161
Torvalds is very critic with this whole issue: he likes GPL2, but does not agree with FSF, Stallman, GNU/GPL in all they say.

Very nice
5 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2498183 on Mar 22, 2013
As I get older, my skin became drier and it hardened. Although my skin doesn't feel oily at all, my pores are clogged all the time. At first, I used skincare products for oily skin to get rid of blackheads, but it just worsened everything. But once I figured out that 'how much oil it produces' was not the problem i had, it was the dryness that was the core problem, I switched all my skincare products and things started to get better. I used dr. woods tea tree oil cleanser for a while and it fixed my problems about 90%. I still had blackheads but it was not that much at all. I only needed to remove them about once a 2 weeks-very managable. And I decided to give this a try. And viola! No more blackheads - even round my nose area. It's really amazing. Because it doesn't foam much I feel like it is not cleaning well, but it does clean AND soothes well. Like other reviewers said, it makes my skin really smooth, cool, and moisturized. I used to have wrinkles around my upper nose, GONE in just one use. Give it a try. you won't regret it. I wish iherb carries other body washes from seaweed bath Co. I wanna try lavender.

Cursed Queen of Angmar, The: 11. Day of Reckoning
For the Day of Reckoning she was robed in a magnificent black velvet gown, lined with a vivid red satin. Its grand train was carried by three of her women. She wore the sun necklace, along with a spectacular gold pectoral that hung to her waist. Her hair was braided back, with strands of jewels plaited into it, and she wore the elegant gold crown from her coronation.
The King wore the same ensemble from the wedding. He waited for her outside his rooms, surrounded by his advisors and the members of his household guard. When she approached, one of the guards gave a signal. In the distance a trumpet sounded, followed by drums.
For what seemed like miles they walked, through long, sloping corridors and down flights of stairs. They were no longer within the castle; they were well into the mountain itself. Everything-- the halls, the stairs, all had been carved from the living rock, smoothed and polished to perfection. As they made their way deeper into the mountain, she began to hear echoing cheers, shouts, drums. Hopefully they were getting close; she was tired, and longed to rest.
At a pair of wooden doors they stopped. The King adjusted his regalia, and Ariashal followed suit. He nodded and the guards threw open the doors.
Together they walked out onto a balcony, draped with red and black cloth, a black canopy overhead. Before them was a vast arena, carved from a natural cavern within the mountain. Silvery blue stones, set in the walls, filled the space with a soft, cold light. Seats were filled to overflowing; she could see row upon row of orcs, men, and other creatures. Beneath them a pair of gray trolls swept the red sand of the arena floor. The King escorted her to a high-backed chair, set close to the balcony rail. Once she was settled he walked to the front of the balcony and held up a hand.
The crowd fell silent.
"The Day of Reckoning has come."
Cheering and stomping, the crowd roared its approval. The King took the throne. "Now," he said to Ariashal, "you will see justice done."
At first there was nothing to see. Guards marched across the arena floor, disappearing through some doors. The trolls still swept, even though the floor seemed smooth enough. Ariashal turned her attention to the audience. What had at first seemed a random crowd was actually carefully divided. In front of each orcish section was a banner: black star on red, yellow hand on white, white arrows on green, and many more; probably tribal or clannish insignia. The orcish areas were further divided from each other by substantial stone walls, and guards were posted by the walls, presumably to keep the peace.
Men and other non-orcs occupied a different seating level. The mix of ethnicities was even more pronounced here than when she had first entered the city. She could see the plain dress of Hillmen, the colorful headdress of the Southern and Eastern folk, the full robes of Dunedain. In another area were smaller seats, filled with bearded dwarves and hobbits. Trolls and their kin had their own area, where they would not block the view of other spectators.
Something was happening on the floor. A massive man with a long red beard, wearing the Angmar colors, strode to the center of the arena. The trolls lumbered out the door.
"Bring out the condemned," ordered the big man.
A row of guards led out a score of prisoners, chained together at wrist and ankle. A few of the prisoners stumbled, others stared at the crowd, some spat and cursed. Behind them walked a pair of tall men, robed and hooded in red, carrying long, slightly curved swords. The group shuffled to the center of the arena and waited.
These were the simple executions. The bearded man read a name, a prisoner would be brought forward, a list of crimes announced, and then one of the tall men would step up and neatly behead the guilty.
The list of crimes was typical, almost banal: murder, rape, theft. Sometimes the convict's name was recognized by people in the crowd, sparking threats and shouts. Or the list of crimes would be heinous enough to cause an explosion of anger. Most of the condemned ignored the insults, but one man began to scream curses at the guards. The big man kicked his legs from beneath him, and he was quickly beheaded.
When the last of these was decapitated, a troll pushed a wagon into the arena. Some orcs tossed the remains onto it, then followed as the troll trundled the bodies away.
Next were the more serious crimes, demanding more elaborate executions. The guards brought out each convict individually, while the bearded man read the list of crimes, and the method of execution proscribed for each prisoner. Most were decapitated, but a few required special treatment. After each execution the crowd stamped its feet, cheering and shouting.
A man who had been caught spying for Cardolan was condemned to roasting over a fire. However, because of the number of executions still to be performed, it was decided that he would be impaled instead. Accordingly a pair of guards brought out large spears. They stuck the man in the abdomen, then raised the spears so that he would slide down them. But he was fighting and writhing so intensely that he jammed partway down; he hung there, screaming, as his life bled away. The crowd cheered as his blood spattered down.
There were a few more beheadings, another impalement--this one more successful--and a woman who was sentenced to boil. In the interest of expediency, this was commuted to beheading. Once again the trolls brought out the wagon. They picked up the remains, except for the one impaled man, who stubbornly refused to die. The orcs kicked him a few times, but still he clung to life. Finally one of the trolls tore the man's head off, delighting the crowd. Problem solved, the bearded man announced the next round of events--trials by combat.
First into the arena were three snow-trolls, mired in an argument over possession of a female snow-troll. Ariashal had never seen anything quite like them. Their white skin, white hair and blue lips contrasted vividly with the red sand of the arena floor. They wore heavy pelts, crudely fastened at the shoulders and belted. Each carried a wooden shield and a club. They lumbered towards the balcony, stopping a few feet from the royal box.
The King stood and addressed them. "You shall proceed. Justice shall prevail."
The trolls bowed and began to fight.
It was obvious that the crowd loved the trials by combat. Oh, they might cheer and shout during the regular executions, but that was nothing compared to the howls and shrieks that accompanied the battles. One of the snow-trolls fell early, leaving the other two free to smash and pound away. They were sloppy, ill-disciplined fighters, swinging their clubs almost randomly. When one finally fell, the crowd cheered the victor as he staggered, bleeding, out of the arena.
Next into the arena were four sets of two men, here to settle various disputes. The King gave the same blessing, combatants bowed, and blood flowed. Once they were finished, a new group of warring parties entered the arena, and the process began anew.
Most trials ended quickly, and quite a number ended without a death. To Ariashal's surprise the King seemed to prefer those that did not end with a carcass in the sand; everywhere else she had lived expected a death from such trials. Certainly the Hillfolk wanted to see death, and she could not recall her father disapproving of it, either.
"Tis a waste to lose men in this manner," he explained. "Our population is small enough as it is. Every man who dies is a loss to Angmar and my army. But I fear such displays are necessary to keep the peace."
A few more duels ended quickly, one with a violent blow that disemboweled one contestant, the other when one man flung down his sword and quit. One last pair continued to fight, albeit in a desultory, half-hearted manner. The crowd booed and hissed, screaming insults at the two.
Suddenly the men stopped. "For Arnor!" they cried. Whirling around, swords held high, they charged towards the royal box.
The King's voice split the air.
For a moment the two seemed to hang, suspended, in mid-stride. With a horrific shriek, their skulls ripped free from their heads; their bodies split open; their guts spilled to the ground. The bodies collapsed, twitching, as the last of the blood spurted onto the sand.
There was a long moment of silence.
"Hail to the king!" cried someone in the crowd, and soon the whole arena vibrated with the chant and the stomping of feet. As the trolls removed the bodies, spectators threw bits of garbage at the would-be assassins. Guards did not even try to stop them.
Ariashal stayed in her seat, heart pounding, desperately trying to fight down the fear. The curse, the curse had followed her here; and she was very lucky that it had not worked tonight. What had she done? Had she not wanted it to be real, when first she heard of this marriage? Had she not hoped that it would take this husband, too? She had, she knew she had, and she knew she had damned him. The first man she had grown attached to, the first man she had begun to love, and she would be his downfall. She could not believe what she had done, she could not do this to him, she could not--
"The Queen is ill," said the King. "Bring a litter and take her to my chambers."
Back in their rooms, comfortable in her dressing gown, Ariashal curled up on the bed and cried. There had to be a way out of this, there must be a way to spare him. Perhaps if she left, now, he would be saved. She would go into exile, and when the child was born she would send it to its father, where it would live in comfort. She, meanwhile, would live on roots and berries, and eke out the miserable existence she deserved.
"Twas not the blood that upset you."
She had not even heard him enter the room.
He sat on the edge of the bed, gently drawing her to him. She buried her face in his robes. "Was it the magic? Tis not a pretty spell, I know."
"No, my Lord." Desperately she clung to him, like a drowning man to his savior.
"The child, then. You should not tire yourself."
She shook her head and clung tighter. "No, my Lord. It is me--it is my curse. I have damned you by coming here. You will be killed because of me!"
"Ariashal," he said softly, "there is no curse. You will not be the cause of my death, I assure you."
"But those men--if they had succeeded--"
"They could not. I promise you that."
"No," she sobbed. "I have damned you."
"Ariashal, listen to me. There is no curse upon you. And as far as damning me, I did that to myself long ago."
"How could you have done that? I will be your downfall!"
"No, you will not." He began to stroke her head.
"You do not understand," she sobbed. "I love you."
He froze, clutching her so tightly she could barely breathe.
"Never say that," he hissed, voice hard. "Never. The repercussions of that for us both will be far more horrific than anything you can possibly imagine."
"What? Why? Why can I not--"
"Because you must not." His grip tightened. "Unless you wish to damn us both, you will never utter that phrase again."
"But I cannot help what I feel," she whispered.
"Neither can I." He crushed her against his body. "Nor can I forget what I have endured. If you truly believe what you say, you will never speak those words again."
"Swear it!"
"I swear--" she choked, "I swear I will never say it again." It was as if she plunged a dagger into her heart.
"Good." He drew his cloak over her. She could feel his tense muscles gradually relax. "I think you must rest. This is not good for you, or the child." He began to stroke her head, whispering in a language she did not understand.
She began to feel pleasantly drowsy, enveloped in a warm, safe cocoon; and before she knew it, she was fast asleep.
