TEL AVIV, Israel — For people who live smack dab in the middle of the world's most politically charged region, Israelis are a very warm and welcoming bunch, keen to show a side of the country that doesn't make it into most international news reports. As is true for most places in the world, in order to understand Israel and its people, one really needs to visit the country and experience it first hand. So, I was extremely fortunate

She took them to her kingdom under the sea, where the gods made them into a cake.

Environmental Policy
AUSBUY is well aware of the present threats to our environment and believe this situation should be urgently addressed. We don't claim to know the answers and will leave this to the environmental experts.
However, we believe that successive governments have failed to invest in water and energy infrastructure and hence the need to encourage green alternatives, but we do not need to lead the world. It is a world problem and all parties should bear the responsibility.
Already many overseas countries such as Germany and the USA are making significant changes. They are acting not just talking about it and encouraging their green economy and manufacturing for the global market. It is interesting to note that Australia is regarded as a leader in new sustainable technologies but these innovations are not necessarily supported here and the knowledge goes off shore and the profits with it. We have a reputation for innovation and also a reputation for not being able to capitalise on this. Knowledge sourced in our universities is taken off shore to create wealth for individuals and other countries. Several solar energy innovations are examples where this has happened.
Environmental concerns are also tied up in trade.
At present, trade agreements are negotiated and ratified without concern for the environment of either country, and AUSBUY believes the government can no longer ignore this vital area. The lack of environmental concerns in China should have our government putting this on the negotiating table to ensure Australians aren't buying products that cause severe environmental damage in China in order to cut costs, while China races to the bottom in environmental standards, providing cheap disposable products to the west. China is not alone in this regard however, and as most countries refuse to have environmental concerns on the negotiating table, this suggestion is a long way from solving the problem of how to force major polluting and environmentally destructive countries to become accountable.
As a part of this, AUSBUY would not like to see Australia's environment threatened as part of any free trade agreement. The agreement with America and our membership of the World Trade Organisation has threatened Australia's unique environment, with foreign countries arguing that our strict quarantine standards are a hindrance to trade and create protectionist systems for our farmers and manufacturers. Trade discussions with China have stalled regarding agriculture because China wants greater access to our markets for its food. We have to question the conditions under which these are grown and the quality compared to Australian produce. Similar agreements with Chile (stone fruits) and the Phillipines (bananas) and New Zealand (apples) are all potential threats to our growers and our disease free foods.
Australia has one of the worlds most vibrant and fragile ecosystems and this is supported through our tough stance on imports. AUSBUY does not believe our wildlife should be threatened by multinational companies. It is too valuable. Our quarantine standards should remain despite external pressures, and the Australian Government should be able to determine these laws alone without pressure from trade organisations. In its turn Australia must ensure that our quarantine laws are backed by reputable scientific evidence to ensure these laws are fair in terms of world trade. We must be responsible and ensure the laws we pass, and the protections we support, are there, not for our trade advantage as this would be an irresponsible act in itself, although other countries do protect their borders even though they espouse free trade. For example, you cannot export food into any part of the USA unless the FDA approves the labels. This is a good way to say welcome then leave you waiting for years while bureaucracy makes a decision. This is not free trade.
We also believe in our right to keep our monopolistic utilities in public hands. Australia has in the past come under fire from countries, such as America, for protecting sectors from competition from outside this country. In particular, our health care, education and utilities such as water and energy have been questioned. In a country as dry as Australia, we believe our water organisations should never by privatised if there is no competition and that this protection is warranted and essential. AUSBUY could not agree to Australians having to purchase water harvested domestically from a multinational organisation and no alternative source, or having to buy energy from foreign companies. These are strategic industries with national security as well as the environment at their core.
Another impost on our environment in the guise of helping our river system has been when our government enters the market to buy water licenses owned by foreign companies. This sets a new benchmark in the price of water for Australian farmers. Our own farmers take a long term view of their land. It is cared for so that future generations of Australians can inherit it, not for short term fixes. This just adds another burden to our own landowners. If we do not own the agricultural products we sell off shore then Australia does not get the export income. Profits go off shore and our land is used for quick returns not sustainable practices.
Or the NSW sold mining exploration rights to BHP and a Chinese mining company for the black soil north western region of NSW, regarded as one of the most productive agricultural areas in the world. Farmers have to defend their rights to cultivate their land and use the aquifers which have fed the soils and the Murray Darling for millennia. A short term cash grab could decimate one of Australia's most productive assets.
In further protecting our fragile ecosystem, AUSBUY is against the Victorian Government decision not to renew its ban on GE produce. This means that GE crops can be planted in Victoria with no way of containing them within this state. Supporting groups, who are mostly scientists and seed patent owners, have argued farmers are set to gain on switching to GE crops, which they claim are easier and cheaper to grow. AUSBUY believes our farmers can gain through their status as clean, green and GE free, as Australia would be one of the few farming nations that can make this claim.
To add insult to injury, if an Australian GE farmer has his product in a silo which latter has GE product he has to pay the multinational seed supplier for contaminating the GE crop. In addition, farmers cannot propagate GE crops with seed supplied by the multi-nationals every season.
Our labelling laws do not identify GE products. If consumers know what is really in their food they can choose not to buy that product. As the world becomes more environmentally conscious, Australia's clean green image would become more valuable.
At present Australian trade and our trade figures rely enormously on mineral resources. Whilst minerals did keep Australia in the black each year, there is a possible finite limit to these minerals, and due to the environmental damage caused by mining, we believe the government should be developing other sectors to eventually replace these resources on the world market. We have been alarmed to see both parties watch the decline in our manufacturing capabilities, and even in these down times to do nothing to support those manufacturers with their skilled jobs which remain.
AUSBUY believes that world trade negotiations are a perfect forum in which to pressure countries to reduce their emissions and make a commitment to embrace a more environmentally responsible attitude to manufacturing and transport. Australia needs to investigate renewable energies to this end. As technological developments may not only offer a solution to global warming, but also provide trade opportunities and jobs here.
AUSBUY believes Australians can be empowered to support the environment through their purchasing decisions. By supporting Australian manufacturers and farmers, by buying locally, cuts transport costs and the resources required to move products from overseas into supermarkets. We can purchase fruit and vegetables from farmers markets within our community and always buy Australian made and owned, if not community made and owned. This will ensure the profits stay local and the cost on the environment is minimised.

Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone
Hey all,
Has anyone read the Kingdoms of Thorne and Bone series by Greg Keyes?
If so did you like it? What is the buzz on it?
I heard it was "Martin-Lite"
Thanks for your time

IMO, it's pretty deep fantasy, but it's also 'clean' and not too complicated. Not as good as Erikson/Bakker/Martin, but definitely at the tier below.
November 29th, 2006, 02:04 AM #4
Average work. I read the Briar King and thought it was mediocre, but I had already bought Charnel Prince and hoped it would be more thrilling. It wasn't. There isn't one category in which Keyes really excells in my opinion. The plot is very stop and run, stop and run. The characters are detailed but none of them is interesting to me, they are like charicatures. Worldbuilding like this we have seen many times before. Overall rating: 6 out of 10.
November 29th, 2006, 06:05 AM #5
Really good IMO. I thought the world building and sense of history and mystery in the Briar King was excellent. Charnel Prince didn't reach quite the same heights but was still hugely enjoyable.
I've seen a few suggestions that it is sub-Martin. People can have their own opinions, but for me this is a fairly meaningless comparison. As far as I am concerned, the series is, so far, excellent fantasy.

One of the reasons I enjoy this series is that it is "lite" in the sense that you get the same thing from Keyes in 400 pages that it would take Martin 800 pages to write. The plot is much more focused, and the books are generally free of all the extra baggage you get in the bricks delivered by guys like Erikson, Jordan and Martin. But if you enjoy all those details, you may not like Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone.
November 29th, 2006, 10:39 AM #7
The reason I have a lot of people call this series Martin-lite is because it shares a lot of the same elements but is overall a much lighter, far less complex and far less developed saga. GRRM is Keyes' master in just about every area of Fantasy writing, but some people feel there is enough overlap in what sort of story Keyes is writing, that they call him Martin-lite.
I guess I can see where they're coming from. I love Coca Cola as well, but Cola Light has a bad aftertaste.
November 29th, 2006, 11:28 AM #8
I wasn't too impressed by the Briar King (though I haven't read any further into the series). I just felt that I'd read it all before, he doesn't do anything new with the genre. And unfortunately he doesn't have the flare for description and dialogue that makes, for example, Martin so enjoyable.
Overall, a resounding 'meh' from me.
November 29th, 2006, 12:54 PM #9
I read the Briar King a year ago. It was enjoyable and fun. I didn't knock my socks off, but then it wasn't awful either. Just a good, solid read that was very entertaining. Much better than the awful cover and horrid prologue would suggest.
His story is the usual. Politicking, an old evil creeping into the world, knights, a spunky princess, forests, creepy critters. That sort of thing. I see potential in Keyes, because he got me flipping the pages. but he needs to clean himself up a bit. I'll deinatly be watching him.
November 29th, 2006, 02:01 PM #10
While the first two books i've read aren't anything special, they are reliably good reads. The characters I found engaging, they wern't too complexly introduced, or spurting any dense philosophy, or proving to be arduos to read about. The story was the standard ancient evil device, plus the usual politics, mad relatives, that sort of thing.
I'm with Physics Knight, in that it had me flipping the pages. I think this is simply because its a steady and adventurous, decently written few books.
November 29th, 2006, 02:36 PM #11
The books won't go down in fantasy history as one of the true greats. However I think it is well worth people's time.
PS; I like the 'clean' description too!
November 29th, 2006, 07:56 PM #12
hey, thanks for the info. By the way, how long is the series? I think three books are out. I dont like waiting around to finish a series...I'll probably have to re-read SoIaF four times before that one's finished.
GRRM still rules though.

Why compare this to Martin? Because he uses roatating POV's? Half the epic authors do it these days.
Greg Kete's is doing something very different to Martin here - he's writing a storyline that moves along at a cracking pace without a lot of the filler that you find inepic fantasy todays. They're entertaining, fun, fast moving adventure books.
The thing I think he does well is to create a cast of fantasy character archetypes that he manages to make interesting through good character development and some interesting twists.
If I was going to compare to any epic series, it would be Kate Elliott's Crown of Stars, and only then for the emergence of mythical beasts and the characters reaction to them. I'm not sure there's much value comparing any epic series though. As far as I'm concerned it's an entertaining, well written adventure story and I'd recommend it.
The series will conclude in the next book, making a total of 4 books.
November 29th, 2006, 08:48 PM #14
I've been enjoying this series very much since Day one. It is only natural to compare this series to its contemporaries. That said, I conducted and interview with Mr. Keyes a few years ago some of you may be interested in reading: http://www.sffworld.com/interview/28p0.html
True, the series does draw on some familiar sources and follows a large cast of characters, but not many of his contemporarires have the same pacing.
Lastly, newer members may wish to gauge their opinions on this series against what others have said in the past. Here are the threads:
Greg Keyes - Martin clone???
Greg Keyes (I know it was last updated in 2004)
The Briar King: a review (Again 2004, but some good discussions)
November 30th, 2006, 10:39 PM #15
I liked it so far. Also I don't think it is anything like Martin. It is fast paced and thats good too when your in the mood. I like how he leaves every POV change at a huge clifhanger and after every switch your like WTF, you can't do that.

❝If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.❞
[kitties!]"For the better," Nali nodded at Otium's foretelling of change. Sure, he was just one guy, but having Skipper on their team again was going to be a great advantage. It was like getting him back was the difference between utter failure and assured victory. Now more than ever, Nali believed it, and she actually had a good feeling for the first time since they'd landed on this hollowed-out rock, and it showed in the little smirk on her face. "And no, you're right, it won't be easy, but it'll be possible. We're already pushing our luck by staying on the run. What's a little more force?"
[kitties!]Another announcement from the arena caused her to look back to the roaring event. "Either way, we need to get Krogan. Not leaving without him, so come on," the asari reminded both her team and herself of why they were in front of this obnoxiously-loud area when they were supposed to be keeping a low profile. A quick glance to the screen above the entrance showed one of the champions, a krogan with some odd armor Nali didn't recognize as two asari...entertainers left him on the field. The maiden grimaced a little in disapproval and moved toward the crowd.
[kitties!]"Too late to place bets," the group was stopped at the entrance by a turian in some rather plain armor, "But if you still wanna go in to watch from the stands, it's two-hundred credits. Fifty per head."
[kitties!]Yeah, thanks, we can do the math. The lady regarded the turian for a moment. Bull s**t. No one else was being charged an entry fee, and fifty credits was way too much anyway. This punk was obviously just some nobody trying to swindle an odd-looking group from their hard-earned, probably stolen credits. Thank the goddess for my feminine wiles, she thought to herself as she took a step closer to the turian.
[kitties!]...and placed the barrel of her Phalanx just under the man's chin. "Well, you see, we don't have that kind of money to spare, and we're just wanting to find our friend. We think he might be inside," Nali spoke calmly and quietly, a soft, venomous smile on her lips, "But I'm sure we can work things out. How about I give you one...maybe two rounds--fresh from my gun--and we call it even?"
[kitties!]"H-hey, wouldja look at that? You're our hundredth guest, so you and everyone with you get in for free!" the turian stammered as Nali pulled the gun back from his head and returned it to its place, "En-enjoy the show!"
[kitties!]"Such a gentleman," the asari said as she walked past him and into the stands, knowing the others would follow her. When she finally got close enough to the arena to see the battleground (without having to stand on her toes to look over anyone's shoulders), she saw two krogan, the one she remembered from the screen earlier and another who--
[kitties!]"Hey, that one looks like--" she paused, and her expression...changed, the following question having no upward inclination whatsoever, "That's Krogan, isn't it?"

About ECM
February 11 , 2013
Kim Kashkashian wins Grammy Award
Kim Kashkashians album
Kurtág/Ligeti: Music for Viola
, has won a Grammy Award in the category
Best Classical Instrumental Solo
, it was announced at the 55th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on February 10th 2013. One of the preeminent artists of ECM New Series, Kim Kashkashian has devoted herself to Hungarian composer György Kurtágs uvre for viola for more than 20 years and developed a remarkable rapport for the relation between compositional fabric and sonic nuance when performing it. On this solo album she explores the contrasts and the interconnections between Kurtágs sound-world and that of his late friend and contemporary György Ligeti. In Kashkashians scrupulous reading, Wolfgang Sandner has written, the Kurtág pieces and the movements of Ligetis Viola Sonata seem like the work of a single visionary artist.
The disc has received many positive notices from the international press. As Joshua Kosman wrote in the
San Francisco Chronicle
: Violist Kim Kashkashian has been an eloquent and impassioned champion of the music for her instruments for decades now. But this solo CD finds her at the peak of her expressive and technical powers, playing music for unaccompanied viola by two of the great contemporary masters, György Kurtág and György Ligeti. Its a terrific pairing of two linked but complementary sensibilities, matching Kurtágs terse, aphoristic style with Ligetis more expansive and playful creative personality.
Other recordings of Kurtág by Kim Kashkashian on ECM include
Hommage à R. Sch.
with Robert Levin and Eduard Brunner, and
with the Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra under Peter Eötvös.

We think she died when my Grandad was about 3 or 4 years old which would have been 1900 -1901. This is the first time we have had any luck in tracing her - so thank you SO much. Can you tell me the names of her siblings so that I can see if I can find them in any family trees on genealogy websites?

High battery consumption and operating temperatures at $500 USD.
I for one feel it is more of a laptop/notebook than netbook.
And it includes the MS tax. Because Asus and MS are so good together in bed.
I'll wait for a cheap FOSS ARM netbook.
Phoronix: ASUS Eee PC 1201N On Linux
For the past year my netbook of choice has been the Samsung NC10 as while it shipped with stock Intel Atom hardware like other netbooks such as the Dell Mini 9 and earlier ASUS Eee PCs, the Samsung was built very well and possessed a rather large and well laid out keyboard for only being a 10.6" mobile computer. Catching my attention recently though has been the ASUS Eee PC 1201N netbook, which packs quite a bit of horsepower with offering the Intel Atom 330 dual-core CPU and NVIDIA's ION platform to provide compelling graphics capabilities. The Eee PC 1201N also ships with 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and a 1366 x 768 display that measures in at 12.1". Oh yeah, ASUS claims a several hour battery life for this $500 USD netbook too along with a full-size keyboard. As was alluded to last week, I ended up purchasing the ASUS Eee PC 1201N as soon as it was made available on the Internet. This is now the initial Phoronix rundown on the 1201N for how it works with Ubuntu Linux, including many benchmarks.

After "ItIsBetterWithWondows" campaign, Asus (my ex-favorite HW maker) is out of shopping list.
IMHO, such behavior should be punished by community. Thus I see this review as very bad idea. All this because their ANTI Linux approach. Most companies are not friendly, but they at least doing no harm. Asus and Lenovo are both running campaign AGAINST Linux.
I think it would be nice to have a poll here at Phoronix to see if people DO want to read reviews of Asus and Lenovo products. If they ban us, we should at least do the same
Anyway, back on topic... I think the most interesting part of this review are the significant advantages of using 64bit! A few years ago you'd still see applications that performed better in 32bit, but today it seems most have been optimized and some even have outstanding gains in performance! There really is absolutely no excuse to run in 32bit anymore if even a measly Atom is slowed down by it. What's more, the proprietary apps have mostly been ported, especially flash -- skype and googleearth still lag behind but work with ia32 emulation.
The downside to all this is the battery consumption and temperature. From the graphs and from my own testing, it seems that Atom has very poor power management support in Linux. With my netbook (N270, 3cell battery) I get 2:30h in Vista and about 1:50h with Linux, that's almost 30% less for basic Internet browsing over WiFi! Also, the temperature is a lot higher and the fan runs a lot more under Linux, while in win it's almost inaudible... Other sites had similar disappointing results. I think that's a quite important issue that needs to be solved soon, perhaps by a distro investing some developer time, otherwise we're not going to see many Linux laptops and netbooks anytime soon...
maybe you run ubuntu which is in 3d mode all the time because of compiz.
Shame on asus for branding this under netbook/eee branding.
This is a full blown laptop.
Characteristics that define a netbook:
1) under 10",
** despite the difficulty in obtaining an SSD netbook these days, I still consider it a critical element of the concept for the following reasons;
a) due to the size, a netbook WILL get bashed around more,
b) due to the size, a netbook WILL have a smaller battery (and therefore need to be more efficient on power),
c) due to the PURPOSE, a netbook must have negligible disk read delays -- writes are less important since it isn't a data processing center.
Compiz does not run in 3D mode "all the time". It only uses it when necessary for the effects. You can prove that to yourself by examining powertop in any decent driver (intel or r200), or hook up an old Geforce FX card and turn on/off the transparent cube a few times - you'll notice a visible drop in text legibility when the cube is showing due to the GeForce's poor quality 3D texture filtering, whereas it renders in 2D mode with no blurriness when idle.

10. Getting to Know You
Getting to Know You
Boromir was seated at the dawn meal the next morning when he was joined not by Elves or other Men, but instead by the five Hobbits. "I hope you do not mind," explained Frodo Baggins, "but as you are the first other than Gandalf and Aragorn to be definitely named to the company that will travel with me, I thought it wise to come to know you."
It was his first close look at the Ringbearer since the Council the day before. Boromir was not certain where it was the Hobbits had met to eat, but none had appeared in the dining hall for the remainder of the previous day. The Gondorian wondered how long it had taken the tall Hobbit to convince his kinsmen that there was no way to dissuade him from the mission he had taken upon himself.
"That does indeed sound a wise decision," he said courteously. "Do sit and make yourselves comfortable."
Elves appeared with cushions to place on the chairs to assist the Hobbits to sit more comfortably at the table, and the five did just that. They then consulted briefly as to what foods to fetch before the broadest of the four gave a gesture of his head to the youngest and rose to lead him to the sideboard where one of the Elves assisted the two of them to fill several platters. Boromir drew his attention back to the three who remained at the table.
He'd thought the old one a rather comical creature when he'd first begun to speak the previous day. Certainly he had appeared full of his own self-importance at the time. But now that he saw Bilbo Baggins close up he found himself wondering just how simple a soul this Hobbit might prove in actuality. There was an indication that those faded eyes perceived more than one might guess, that spoke of far more experience than one would expect from one so small and guileless in appearance. There was something so calculating in his inspection that Boromir realized he would do well not to underestimate this one at all.
Frodo drew his attention away from Bilbo. "I do not believe you have been introduced to my companions. This is Meriadoc Brandybuck, whose grandfather was older brother to my mother."
"You can call me Merry, my Lord Boromir--they only call me Meriadoc when they are angry at me or for very formal occasions, you must understand."
Merry was not as tall as was Frodo, although some inches taller than old Bilbo. His eyes were different in color from Bilbo's, but had much the same set to them, and also much the same expression of consideration to them. As was true of the older Hobbit, he appeared to be most competent and thoughtful. Something in his expression reminded Boromir of his quartermaster in Osgiliath, who always seemed to know in advance just when it would be better to have more new cloaks or extra stores of medical supplies and healing herbs.
"Then, Merry," he replied, "you must call me simply Boromir. My position within Gondor has no bearing here in the northlands, after all. Or has Master Aragorn insisted you refer to him as Lord Chieftain of something similar?"
The younger Hobbit shared a rather startled look with the others. "Lord Chieftain?"
Frodo's cheeks grew rather pinker, although Bilbo's smile grew but wider. Frodo said, "I will allow Aragorn to explain that one once he's returned. But he is more than he appears, as he tried to tell us more than once along the way."
"He told us his real name was Aragorn there in Bree," Merry said rather uncertainly as he returned his attention to Boromir, "but mostly we've called him Strider. I mean, that was how he was introduced to us, after all."
Bilbo was shaking his head as he looked at the younger Hobbit. "Oh, that he would," he said. "But surely you've seen how well he's been treated here."
"Well, of course, what little as we've seen of him," Merry admitted, once again speaking more to his older companion. "And it's been plain enough he's had healer's training, at least from how well he did by Frodo once he was stabbed by that Black Rider. And in spite of how worn his things are, there's no denying they're all very well made and must have once been very expensive, or would be if you could even find things of their quality in the markets of the Shire or Bree. You certainly couldn't find anything of the quality of his trousers or his boots in Bree from what I saw during our stay there. They had to be excellent quality just to stand up to the trip we made here, never mind how long he must have been wearing them before we met him at the Prancing Pony."
"It was the quality of his personal satchel that first struck me," Frodo commented. "No matter how worn it is, it is yet far more gracefully made than anything I've seen similar to it."
The broad one appeared with a large tray on which lay two platters. He set one before Bilbo and the second before Frodo, gave a brief nod of acknowledgment, and turned to hand his tray to the waiting Elf while taking the platters from the tray held by the young one. As he set a platter before Merry and another before the empty spot beside Merry, Frodo introduced these two. "This is Samwise Gamgee, a most worthy Hobbit in my employ. His father was gardener at Bag End from before my birth, and Sam has followed his father in that role, He was chosen by Gandalf to accompany me here after he was caught spying on the two of us. And this one is Peregrin Took, a younger cousin to both Merry and myself. He's Merry's first cousin and my second cousin."
Bilbo took up the explanation. "The four of us, you must understand, are all descended from the Old Took. Old Gerontius was my grandfather, and Frodo's great grandfather, and was great-great grandfather to Merry and Pippin here. Although, now I think of it he was great-great grandfather twice to Merry, for all he's a Brandybuck and no Took, through both his father and his mother, his mother being younger sister to Pippin's father...."
Apparently noting the blank look on Boromir's face he gave a self-deprecating laugh. "Ah, don't mind us--we're Hobbits, after all, and this is very important to us, although it's of no interest to much of anyone else, I've found."
Sam had set the last platter before the last empty spot at the foot of the table and returned the final tray to the unnamed Elf with thanks. He now sat himself rather solidly before that last platter and picked up his fork. Noting the interest in Boromir's face he explained, "Don't look at me--I'm not related by blood nor marriage to none of them--not for more generations than even Hobbits count, at least."
Somehow that struck the Man as far too funny, and he began to chuckle, which rather quickly grew into a full-throated laugh and then into a quite loud guffaw. The Hobbits looked at him surprised, and conversation around them went quiet; but he could no more control his laughter than he could voluntarily stop breathing for more than a moment at a time.
Merry appeared startled, but both Bilbo and Peregrin quickly proved delighted by this laughter, with the old Hobbit turning to Frodo and clapping him on the shoulder. "There--I told you, my boy, that this would be a most satisfactory companion for the way--as jolly a one as any Dwarf. Didn't I tell you so?" he asked triumphantly.
Sam merely looked questioningly at Frodo, who shrugged helplessly. Then both turned their fascinated gazes back to Boromir, apparently waiting patiently for Boromir to regain control of himself.
"I say, Merry, that we should have a fine time traveling with this one," Peregrin stated.
"No one said you should be going with us, Pippin," Frodo responded rapidly, turning his attention to his youngest kinsman.
"They'll have to send me home tied up in a sack to keep me from following you, Frodo Baggins," Pippin said, his temper suddenly showing itself. "And that goes equally for Merry, right, cousin?"
"We didn't come all this way to let you go on alone," Merry agreed, apparently relieved to find what appeared to be a well-worn argument restarting.
"Lord Elrond has indicated I am to have eight companions--I would hardly call that going on alone," Frodo returned, although without the heat he probably had shown the first few times he'd undoubtedly said it.
Sam merely shook his head and attacked his eggs with gusto. "Hardly fit conversation for a meal," he mumbled around a full mouth.
"That's enough, lads!" Bilbo suddenly said. "You are not to trouble Frodo with this, Merry and Pippin. It's not he who must be convinced, but Master Elrond, and he won't be convinced by childish displays in his dining room."
"But he's letting Sam go, when he shouldn't have been at the Council to begin with! I mean, he's been rewarded for the cheek of slipping in where he wasn't supposed to be----" Pippin's voice was rather strident.
"He said, enough." Frodo's voice was actually quite soft, but something in it stopped the young Hobbit colder than if he'd been yelled at.
Pippin stopped, his mouth still open. Then with a rather stifled, "Yes, Frodo," he turned his attention to his enormous platter of food and began eating.
Boromir finally mastered his laughter. "You must forgive me. Something in the way that was said simply struck me as being quite droll. almost like something my brother might have said when he was small."
Pippin paused with his fork part way to his mouth, his eyes alert with interest. "You have a brother?"
"Yes, a younger brother, Faramir. And you?"
The young Hobbit gave a look about at the other Hobbits around the table. "The only one of us who has any brothers is Sam. I have three older sisters, but Frodo, Merry, and Bilbo were all only children."
"We weren't supposed to be only children," muttered Bilbo as he raised his cup, and Boromir saw a fleeting expression of grief on Frodo's face, quickly controlled.
Merry explained, "My mum and his kept losing bairns, you see," indicating Frodo. "They both felt rather lucky to end up with one child who lived."
"I am sorry," Boromir said gently. "My mother died when my brother and I were young, I was about eight, and he was five."
He gave the young one a swift glance--auburn curls and ingenuous green eyes, wide open and apparently interested in everything. Smaller than the rest, and more slender, as was Frodo Baggins himself, Peregrin looked much like a youth among Men of about eighteen to nineteen summers--not yet of an age, perhaps, to be counted a full adult, but close to it, or so Boromir judged. Accustomed to being treated as the youngest, obviously, so much so he followed the directions even of a gardener? Well, admitting to being the youngest of four, and the only son, helped to explain that--if he was anything like those of his men who were youngest sons he had probably been made to fetch and carry all his life and knew no other way to respond but to comply. Yet he saw this one, too, had a good deal of consideration and cleverness in his gaze, and a degree of stubbornness that had undoubtedly served him well at helping him from time to time to gain his own way in spite of the others. An active one, and probably a bit of a chatterer whose very chatter would cover far deeper thoughts than one realized might be going on in that innocent-seeming head.
Then there was the gardener--an open, patient expression, that of one accustomed to perceiving what needed doing and then seeing it done as directly and with as little fuss as possible. And, with the constant glances given to Frodo Baggins, one who had chosen to devote himself whole-heartedly to his Master! One with an eye to beauty, but who saw himself as simple. Undoubtedly the perfect servant, if far more familiar than servants one saw in Gondor.
At last Boromir turned his scrutiny to the Ringbearer himself, and saw--responsibility--a familiar sense of responsibility, much like that he knew in his younger brother. A face to arrest attention, apparently young and innocent until one looked into his eyes. But how could one truly describe the expression of those eyes?
There was the memory of intense pain in those eyes; the memory of loss. The smooth face spoke of one newly come to adulthood; the eyes spoke of one far more mature than this one seemed. There was humor there, and compassion, and a degree of impatience with those less intelligent than himself. And yet there was patience there also--it was the face of one who had come to terms with himself and knew that all his intentions would come to fruition--or not--when the time was right.
And there was a degree of stubbornness there as well, a tendency that would be best kept in mind.
Most interesting. Boromir felt rather intimidated by this one, particularly as he realized this Frodo Baggins was making his own evaluation of Boromir of Gondor.
"You are a warrior, I am told?" the Hobbit finally asked.
"Yea, so I am. And you?"
The Hobbit made a dismissive gesture before lifting his fork and neatly cutting off a bite of ham. "I barely know which end of the sword to hold," he said. "Strider--Aragorn--did try to give us some instruction, but we did not have much chance to practice while on our journey. I fear that all the good I managed to do was to slay a cloak and break the blade of my sword after I'd crossed the ford."
The Man was arrested by this description of Frodo's experience with wielding a blade. Slew a cloak?
The small one called Peregrin--Pippin--protested, "But you got us out of that barrow alive!"
Frodo shuddered, setting down his fork, his appetite apparently fled. "Only because the wight wasn't paying attention to me at the moment. If it had realized I had awakened and was sitting up, holding that awful knife----"
"Let it go, my dear boy," Bilbo advised, putting his hand on Frodo's shoulder. "Do not allow it to burden your memories. You did very well--that's the thing to remember. Now, you need to eat every bite Sam has brought you. You need to build back your weight to look a proper Hobbit again."
Frodo and the old Hobbit shared a look apparently filled with years of familiarity. Frodo closed his eyes and allowed his older kinsman to pull him briefly against him, accepted the kiss Bilbo gave his hair, and at last straightened, setting himself to eating his meal.
Uncertainly, Boromir looked at the two younger Hobbits, at last addressing the youngest of the party. "You are called Pippin?"
"Yes--Pervinca, who's next older than I, couldn't pronounce Peregrin properly, so she was calling me Peggin, or so Pearl has told me. Lalia mistook what she was calling me on the day they took me to the Great Smial to inscribe my name in Old Yellowskin and thought she'd said Pippin instead, so she called me that, and everyone else did, too. I mean, she was the Thain's Lady, after all, and no one was allowed to question Lalia Clayhanger Took--or at least not to her face."
Frodo paused over a bite of fruit compote. "She was an uncomfortable person to have to deal with. I remember Lotho once spilling a goblet of Old Winyards in her lap when somehow Mummy and I had managed to offend her."
Bilbo laughed. "You remember that, do you? I'm surprised! She'd sent over the most awful shirt for you to wear, one she'd had made for Ferumbras when he was small--made him look a right mam's lad, it did! Your Aunt Menegilda purposely poured a cup of grape juice over it so your mother could truthfully tell the old bat it was too stained to wear. She suspected, of course, and started making over Lotho to try to punish your mum, not that Primula minded in the least."
"And I remember throwing the cake at Lobelia and making it look an accident so she'd leave."
Pippin was listening avidly. "Really? And Lotho dared to pour a cup of wine on her? And here I was thinking I'd never approve of anything ever done by Lotho Sackville-Baggins! And then you glued Lalia to her chair!"
"I did not!"
"No," agreed Bilbo. "That was Isumbard, wasn't it?"
"No, it wasn't Isumbard, either."
"No, it was Reggie," interrupted Merry. "He told me, although he admitted the idea came from you. But I bet Isumbard was wishing he had done it."
"Reginard did that?" Pippin asked, obviously surprised and impressed.
"Well, we were of an age," Frodo said. "And Lalia was being particularly difficult to everyone that year, and had just been unutterably rude to Bard's sister Linden."
"I was just so glad when she finally died," Pippin sighed, once he'd swallowed a drink of juice. "Even if it did cause such suspicion to fall on my sister."
"I was so angry when Ferumbras gave Pearl that necklace--it made it seem he was rewarding her for ridding us all of Lalia, and as if he himself were courting her." Frodo's expression was very stern.
Boromir was fascinated. He had no true appreciation for the incidents described, but it was obvious these were all familiar with the situation.
"What's this about Pearl being under suspicion for killing the old harridan?" Bilbo demanded.
Well--perhaps not all of them were familiar with all the situations!
Pippin hastened to explain, "Well, Lalia's chair rolled off the porch and down the stairs, and she died in the fall. You know the gossipers in the Shire--Lobelia immediately started hinting that either Pearl or Lalia's nurse had pushed it."
"But it was really the state of the thing," Frodo said. "Ferumbras explained how difficult it was to get it fixed and how they'd not been able to afford to replace it; and she had been warned not to sit on the porch like that as the brakes might give way, but she would do so anyway. And one day they did give. Pearl was horror-stricken!"
"And Ferumbras gave her a necklace? Which? That string of pearls Isengar had brought back from his voyages?"
Frodo nodded.
Bilbo sighed. "Ferumbras Took was always about as sensitive as a bull with his eye on a cow in season. Poor Pearl."
"They finally gave over all the gossip once Pearl married Bard," Pippin added.
"Good girl." Bilbo turned his attention to Frodo. "I'm only glad you finally recovered from her throwing you over that way. Too bad, though, that you and Narcissa...."
"Bilbo!" Frodo's face was pale, and his cheeks bright with embarrassment.
For a time they ate in silence, Merry and Pippin exchanging glances and Sam purposely focusing on his food with only occasional glances at Frodo as if to make certain he didn't need anything else.
At last Bilbo turned his attention back to the Man. "Here we are, supposedly learning more about you, but instead we're talking of Shire matters, and the only one of us with the sense not to gossip like a common farmer's wife is our Samwise."
The gardener turned a bright pink.
"So, tell us about this dream you had, and how it led you to Rivendell," the old Hobbit continued.
Boromir began to explain, but had to admit to himself that he was more curious to know about the incidents and folk of whom the Hobbits spoke so familiarly. He'd been brought up in the isolation of the Citadel, with few children his own age nearby during his childhood, and his one nearby cousin, Húrin, son to his father's older sister, all but an adult by the time he'd been born. He found the warmth and familiarity with which the Hobbits treated one another fascinating, and by the time the meal was over he felt envious of their close relationship.
"And you are good with your sword?" asked Pippin.
"I'm one who teaches others now," Boromir explained.
"Could you perhaps teach us? Or at least me," Pippin added hastily, having caught the alarmed expression on Frodo's face. "We Hobbits are accustomed to archery, or at least we Tooks are. But we don't use things like swords, usually. I mean, I'd only ever seen two of them--the Sword at Brandy Hall and Bilbo's old sword Sting, before he left Bag End." He turned to look at the old Hobbit. "Did you really bring it away with you?"
"That I did. I decided that if I were to go through Mirkwood again it would be best to take it with me, as Sting already had done well against the great spiders there. I can't think of a better blade to use against such monsters, really."
"I bet it would not have broken after Frodo lifted it against the Black Riders like the one from the Barrow did," the young Hobbit sighed. "It might have helped him then."
Bilbo shrugged, but looked thoughtful. "Perhaps."
"But we won't be wearing swords..." Frodo began.
"Nonsense," Merry said. "If Lord Elrond won't let us go, then I'll give you my sword from the Barrow. I don't want to think of you without some kind of protection of your own, out there in the wild!"
The expressions of the two younger Hobbits were equally determined, and Boromir noted that Sam was nodding with approval. "That's right, Mr. Frodo," the gardener agreed. "You can't be the only one as doesn't have some sort of protection, and particular since you know as you can't trust the Ring makin' you invisible as a way of keepin' you safe. I mean, Master, look at how It didn't hide you none from the Riders."
Reluctantly Frodo nodded his understanding. "That's true, but then I had no idea how it was the Ring worked to make someone invisible. That It dragged me into the world of the wraiths themselves...." He shuddered again, and his face was now very pale. He rubbed at his shoulder as if it were paining him.
"All the more reason to learn how to successfully wield a proper weapon," Boromir suggested. "Perhaps Lord Elrond would have some weapons appropriate to your stature here in Imladris. As an Elven stronghold I would expect there is an armory here of some sort. I already know they do have at least one weapons smith here. After all, they have been discussing how to reforge the shards of Narsil into a usable blade again."
Frodo looked up with interest at that. "Then they will remake the Sword of the King?" he asked. "I am glad, as I believe Aragorn will need it in these last battles against the Dark."
The Gondorian felt somehow envious, seeing the expression in Frodo's eyes as he spoke of the northern Chieftain. Already there was a strong level of trust built between the Ringbearer and the Pretender, as Boromir had begun thinking of the other Man. The realization during the Council as to the lineage of Aragorn son of Arathorn had led Frodo to a greater appreciation of the Ranger's potential place in the rule of the outer world, and his existing respect for Aragorn had grown so much Boromir felt he would be unlikely to reach a similar relationship with the Hobbit.
It was at that point that the Elf who'd led Boromir to his room on his arrival approached their table. "Master Frodo--Elrond asks that you return to your chamber when you are finished with your meal so that he can examine your shoulder to see how your recovery progresses. He does not ask that you hurry your meal in any way, but expects to be able to meet with you there in perhaps half an hour."
Frodo Baggins looked up gravely. "Then I will be certain to be there. I find I cannot yet eat as much at a time as I am accustomed to eating, so I will be finished here soon enough at any rate. Thank him for me, please."
The Elf gave a bow. "With pleasure, small Master."
Sam looked after with admiration. "Master Lindir--he's quite the singer, he is. Wonderful folk, Elves."
Frodo's expression as he looked back to his friend was indulgent. "Yes, they are, but not as wonderful, I think, as you four."
Again the gardener flushed, with pleasure this time.
When at last Frodo left the table Boromir realized he envied the Hobbit for far more than just his role as the Ringbearer.

A County Kerry man who has been living in the U.S. for more than 12 years has established a Facebook page to support the Irish undocumented living in the U.S. The page has close to 7,500 fans.
The page is called "Get the Irish Home for Christmas 2010."
Steve McSweeney, 35, has been a firm supporter of the work of the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform (ILIR) since its inception in 2006. He has been to every rally the group organized on Capitol Hill in a push to get comprehensive immigration reform passed. He has met with several senators and representatives and stated the importance of having the Irish in the U.S.
Even after the Kennedy/McCain bill failed to make it out of the Senate in 2008, McSweeney pushed on. Earlier this year he found a new way to reach out to the undocumented and their supporters.
McSweeney told the Irish Voice that cyberspace was the way to go to drum up support for the undocumented Irish.
"So many friends that lived here for a long time eventually moved home because of their limbo status, and so many others here who live throughout America are all on Facebook, so I knew it was a way to reach out to everyone," he said.
McSweeney said the main idea behind the Facebook campaign was for other undocumented throughout the U.S. "to know that there are a lot of other people in the same situation and that they are not alone in this fight to get home to see their families."
The online page, said McSweeney, is a "great way" to inform people of the latest update in the battle for immigration reform. It's updated regularly with information from Capitol Hill on the workings of a new immigration reform bill.
"It's also a very easy way for people to contact Congress via the page so that the Irish voice can be heard," said McSweeney.
On Monday the number of fans had reached 7,483. About 5,000 of those are based in the U.S. and the remainder are Irish people living in other parts of the world.
"This number includes undocumented Irish, people who are legal and support the Irish, politicians from Ireland and even lawmakers here," McSweeney said.
Although happy with the response so far, McSweeney urges people to continue inviting their Facebook friends to join his page.
"I encourage everyone to send invites to all their friends as the Irish are a powerful voice when it comes to numbers," he said.
The website has already gained attention from Ireland. TV3, one of the Ireland's television stations, has been doing many interviews with Irish undocumented since discovering the page. The page has even caught the attention of CNN.
"This week we have been asked to do an interview with CNN and Al Jazeera TV Europe so the Facebook page is serving its purpose," said McSweeney.
Albeit mainly positive, McSweeney said the page does get a few negative comments. That, he said, comes with the territory.
"You will always get someone who does not agree with immigration reform and my answer to that is if they had a family member in the same situation how would they feel?"

Policeman tells tot 'buckle up!' after 4-year-old refuses to use seat belt
Tuesday, February 5, 2013
After sharing her alternative parenting story on the Rochester Police Department's Facebook page, she didn't expect to be recognized for it either.
Donnell's adorable daughter, Teighan Mills, had a propensity for unbuckling in the car to show her mom how upset she was. A little more than a week ago, when a Sunday shopping trip to Walmart went sour because Mills didn't get a treat, Donnell said she felt like she was out of options.
"Teighan is a very smart little 4-year-old," her mom said. "However, she likes to push me until she can't anymore. She was constantly unbuckling … and I had warned her, 'If you take off your seat buckle again, we're going to have to go to the police station so they can talk to you about why this isn't OK.'"
When Donnell arrived at the station that afternoon, with her 2-year-old son Lucas in tow, Rochester's finest were in a company meeting. A station clerk told her to drive home and the station would send an officer over.
"I was instructed to go. And we enjoy working with the community," Krans told Foster's. "I went over there and met with little Teighan. She's a very cute little girl, very smart, and very shy at first."
Krans also brought along some brightly colored stickers that read "Buckle up!" He left Teighan with a roll and told her to hand them out whenever she sees someone else not abiding by the law, "to empower her," he said.
When Donnell posted a comment to the police Facebook page on Jan. 28, with a thank you and an explanation of what happened, the story seemingly went viral with more than 400 "likes" in only a few hours and dozens of comments. Today, the story stands with 644 likes and almost 60 comments, though not without some negative replies. One or two residents posted they thought the police department had better things to do and Donnell shouldn't bother police with something so minor.
"The role of the police is not just a traditional locking up of criminals. There's so much more that we do and encourage a lot of our officers to do," Toussaint said. "(Krans) is a perfect example … We're very proud when we get this type of attention for when our officers do great work like this."
Donnell said in an age where most moms are terrified to get a call their children have been a horrible car accident, with the added detail that the passengers were not wearing their seat belts, she said she hopes this has driven the point home.
"I know some people think it's terrible parenting, but they wouldn't have come out if they didn't have the time," Donnell said. "She buckles every time in the car (now) … And I thought it was better for her to meet an officer that way rather than at an accident scene."
Donnell, a preschool teacher at the Jack and Jill School and Rochester native, said she is proud to report only a few days ago, Mills' father in Somersworth did not buckle up in the car, so the little girl learned forward with her highlighter-yellow stick and said, "Daddy, buckle up!"
Mills told Foster's while she can "get shy around cops," she was excited to meet an actual police officer. Showing off her buckling skills inside her family car, she said it really isn't that hard to remember to wrap a strap over your shoulder.

About this Course
Course Description
This QAD Advanced Repetitive Costing training guide has been developed to teach the differences between advanced repetitive costing and work order costing.
This guide can be taught individually or as a part of the Product Costing and Cost Management course set, which consists of an introductory class, a class covering general setup topics, and a set of classes on specialized costing topics. Most students will benefit from taking the first two classes and then selecting the additional courses that apply to their business implementation. The complete list of classes is:
Introduction to Product Costing
Product Costing
Advanced Repetitive Costing
Average Costing
Co/By-Product Costing
Cost Management, including Simulation and Planning
Purchase Costing
Work Order Costing
Course Objectives
Provides the structural framework and knowledge necessary to set up and cost item/products manufactured in an advanced repetitive environment. Includes details on subcontract manufacturing in the advanced repetitive environment.
Course Benefits
Provides the opportunity for personnel responsible for developing costs and explaining variances in an advanced repetitive environment to understand how the system works.
Finance and operations personnel who develop product costs and explain variances in an advanced repetitive environment.
Training Guide: Introduction to Costing
Training Guide: Product Costing
Training Guide: Work Order Costing
Familiarity with the .NetUI
Course Credit and Scheduling
This course is valid for 6 credit hours. This course is typically taught in 1 day.
Virtual Environment Information
The hands-on exercises in this book should be used with the latest Enterprise Edition learning environment in the 10USA > 10USACO workspace. When prompted to log in, specify demo for user ID and qad for password.
Advanced Repetitive costing functionality is reviewed in the hands-on exercises in this book. The first exercise involves basic Advanced Repetitive transactions; subsequent exercises include variances, subcontracting, and scrap. Because this is a course on costing and not a course on Advanced Repetitive, the exercises in this book will be taking some shortcuts to minimize setup.

Sub-woofer bass noise is a violation of the right to the peaceful enjoyment of home and property. Bass noise is disturbing our sleep at night, invading our homes, and the town council have refused to acknowledge the seriousness of this noise assault. Citizens need to mobilize in response to this threat and demand a tough boom car law get passed. This ongoing noise from sub-woofers is something we don't have to submit to. It is our duty as free citizens to demand the law do its job.
