Lie Down in the Darkness, Rise up from the Ash: 26. Faramir
There was movement in the darkness. Vague, amorphous silhouettes danced against a ribbon of fire that twisted and writhed around him, and the whispers were a sea of torment. Frodo drifted on their tide, flailing helplessly as the weight of malice bore him down towards the red-dark depths, and that golden brilliance that called: Frodo... Frodo...! Suffocating heat swept over him.
Sam! he cried out, and opened his eyes to darkness deep.
"It's all right, Mr. Frodo, I'm here," said a distant voice.
"Sam!" But the flames that wreathed him roared the higher, then, drowning out all else, and after a brief struggle, Frodo surrendered to them. In his dreams, he marched with Orcs, stumbling and staggering to keep up while the will of the Master bore down upon them. For they were headed into the heart of the fire, into the point of darkness in the center of the flame–the darkness that gaped open like a chasm, like a mouth that swallowed the light and silenced the roar. Stop seeing me! Frodo cringed, his progress slowed, though the Orcs showed no signs of slackening the pace. Indeed they seemed of the very substance of flame themselves, their shapes rippling grotesquely, changing as they charged heedless and joyless into the fury of that devouring maw from which stared the Void itself.... Stop looking! Stop! He tried to turn away, tried to hide his face, but he could not. Step by unwilling step, he was drawn forward, and that gaze began to peel away at throbbing, tingling flesh, burning where the Ring lay hidden.... Sam!
"Frodo? Mr. Frodo?" Frodo moaned softly and managed to lift heavy lids. Someone was leaning over him, and for an awful instant, he was confronted with Grishnákh's hateful visage. A cry rose in his throat, but only a hoarse squeak emerged from between parched lips, and then the Orc did something very odd. It reached out with a clawed hand and gently patted his face with a damp cloth, all the while frowning and seeming very concerned. "Mr. Frodo?"
"S-sam?" Frodo managed, squeezing his eyes shut for a long moment. There came the sound of water falling back into a bowl as a cloth was wrung out, and the other replied quite distinctly:
"Well, there's a relief! I'd begun to think you'd not recognize anyone, the way you were carrying on, with the fever and all." It certainly sounded like Sam, and when Frodo dared to open his eyes once more, the illusion dissolved, and he found himself staring up into his friend's worried, bruised face. "How do you feel?" Sam asked anxiously, placing the folded cloth on his forehead.
"I... where are we? What's happened?" Frodo demanded weakly, raising his head slightly to look about. A lamp glowed on a plain wooden stand in the corner by the bed, illuminating the bare rock walls of some sort of cave, and a curtain hung behind Sam. From beyond it came the low murmur of voices... human voices. Bewildered, Frodo looked to Sam for an explanation. Sam, though, fidgeted rather unaccountably, biting his lip as his brow furrowed slightly. And it was then that Frodo noticed the ugly welt on Sam's face. Reaching out shakily, he made as if to touch, but Sam caught his hand and squeezed tightly. "What happened...?" he repeated, and this time meant not the battle.
"It's nothing, Mr. Frodo," Sam replied staunchly, reaching for a mug that sat on the table. "Don't you worry about me, now, but just drink this down." Frodo blinked, but he obeyed, aware suddenly of a terrible thirst. Tea of some sort, it proved, and despite a generous amount of honey that sweetened it, the medicinal aftertaste remained. "How do you feel?" Sam asked, as he took the mug back and set it aside.
Frodo shook his head slowly, and after a short silence, he replied, much to his own surprise, "Better. I feel... I feel as though I can think. My head's clearer...." He raised a hand to touch his brow in wonder, and then froze, struck by sudden realization. Glancing down at his left arm, he wriggled his fingers, and was shocked to see them obey instantly. What is this? Astonished, Frodo willed himself to make a fist, and watched as his hand balled obediently. His left arm ached, certainly, yet not as it had, and he ran hesitant fingers over the fresh bandage wrapped snugly about the injury. "Where is it?" he breathed, stricken with sudden panic. "Sam, it's gone!"
"Aye, it is," Sam said, with a beatific grin of relief, but Frodo felt his heart clench in anguish.
"Where is it?" he demanded, reaching out to latch his fingers into Sam's collar. "Sam, what happened?"
"Easy does it, now," Sam was quick to shush him, glancing over his shoulder worriedly at the curtain. Turning back to Frodo, he gripped his master's wrist, lowered his voice and continued, "It's all right, Mr. Frodo, we've still got it."
"But where is it, then?" Frodo demanded impatiently, though he, too, lowered his voice to a hissing whisper.
"Well, I couldn't leave it in you, Mr. Frodo–"
"You took it?" Frodo hissed, darting an incredulous, horrified look at Sam, who recoiled slightly, eyes wide, as Frodo's hand clenched into a fist at his throat, bunching the fabric in a white-knuckled grip. "Where is It? Where did you put It?"
"It's right here, sir," Sam replied, quickly fishing about in a pocket.
"You touched it?" Frodo demanded.
"Well, in a manner of speaking... yes," Sam admitted, and then seeing Frodo's smoldering look, added quickly, "I had to take it out of you, Frodo. I hadn't much time: the healer wanted a look at you after he'd seen to the other wounded ones, and I was that scared he'd come back before–"
"Give it to me!"
"I will, I will... here," Sam answered, finally pulling a rather stained and wadded up handkerchief from his pocket. Then, he hesitantly extended the little bundle, which Frodo snatched. Immediately, he set about unfolding it, nearly tearing the cloth in his haste to see what lay concealed inside. Gold gleamed at him from within the folds, and a terrible sort of relief coursed through Frodo. It's safe... It's safe, I have it still! With a sigh, he clutched the Ring, handkerchief and all, to his chest.
"I thought I'd lost you," he murmured, shaking his head.
"Mr. Frodo?" Something in Sam's voice cut through that relief and caught his attention. Frodo blinked and glanced up to see Sam staring at him in something akin to horror, eyes wide and bright with tears. The sight shocked him, and of a sudden, he felt rather confused... and then revulsion set in.
"I'm sorry, I... what was I saying, Sam?" Frodo murmured, passing a hand over his eyes. I thought I'd lost It... you... It.... "Oh, Sam, what have I said? " Frodo collapsed back against his pillow with a groan.
"It's all right, sir. I understand," Sam managed valiantly, quickly wiping at his eyes. He reached out and patted Frodo's hand, the one that did not clutch the Ring. "But I think you should put it away now."
"It's not that I want it," Frodo hastened to assure him, even as he stuffed the Ring, kerchief and all, into his trouser pocket. "But I thought... with Boromir–"
"Eh... yes, Boromir," Sam interrupted, unease apparent. "That's... well... it's not what you think, Mr. Frodo."
"I beg your pardon?"
"You see, it's not Boromir, but his brother–"
"He had a brother?" Frodo interjected sharply, searching his mind for any memory of that.
"Aye, he did and he does. One of the guards who brought us back here told me, not but what I might've guessed just by looking at him. They do look an awful lot alike," Sam paused, searching Frodo's face worriedly a moment. Then, somewhat hesitantly: "Don't you remember Boromir telling us about his brother? About Faramir?"
"No, Sam, I'm afraid I don't," Frodo sighed. "You'll have to tell me about him."
"It's a bit hard to explain, sir. You know how there are some as you give a second and a third look, trying to get their measure?" Sam asked, face screwed up thoughtfully.
"Aye, I do."
"That's how Faramir seems to me. Very close, he is."
"Indeed, Master Gamgee, closer than you know," said a new voice just then, as the curtain was drawn back, and Frodo caught his breath. For standing there in the doorway was a young man, or one who would seem young but for the weariness–and wariness–in his eyes, and though it likely needed a fever to mistake him for Boromir, no man could have mistaken them for aught but brothers. Frodo fancied he could see a little of Boromir in the shape of the other's face, and especially in the mouth, for at the moment, Faramir sported a frown that Frodo remembered well from having seen the very same one on Boromir. He felt his heart sink at the sight of it. "A good evening to you both," Faramir continued then, stepping over the threshold and letting fall the curtain. "How is your arm, Master Baggins?" he inquired politely, though those somber eyes did not lighten.
"Better, I think, thank you," Frodo replied, reaching almost unconsciously to press his right hand over the bulk of the bandage.
"You should thank Master Gamgee, for he it was who tended first to you, or so I am told," Faramir said. "I thought I would see whether you had yet wakened, for there is much to be said between us ere I can come to any decision about the two of you."
"Decision?" Sam asked, straightening at that. "What decision?"
"What decision, indeed, Master Gamgee," Faramir replied sardonically, as he stalked over to a corner and retrieved a low-backed chair, which he dragged over to set not far from Sam. Settling into it, he eyed Sam and Frodo, then said, "Gondor is at war, and a captain of Gondor has many concerns to occupy his mind. If he told you naught else, I am certain that Boromir told you that peace is but a happy memory here. Ithilien, where you were found, has long been under the shadow, and it seems each day brings news of another incursion. We had thought to ambush a party of Haradrim making their way north when the Orcs happened upon us. We have fought two battles in as many days, and we lose more men with every passing week. In such times as these, strangers find us hard and unwelcoming, I fear. For there are none in Gondor now but servants of the White Tower, or of the Black." And at this, he caught Frodo's eye, and Frodo, staring back, saw the doubt in the other's gaze.
"We are no spies, Captain Faramir," Frodo said softly, but firmly.
"So you say, and in truth it is rare that Orcs take captive their own. But there is much you have not said, and which your Master Gamgee swears he cannot address. It seems, therefore, that I must apply to you for an explanation. What is your business here, that Orcs should see fit to capture and carry you, as is not their custom?"
"We had no business in Gondor," Frodo answered truthfully. Faramir said nothing, nor did his expression change, but he made a slight motion with his hand for Frodo to continue. And so, carefully, he did, "We lost our way, and stumbled upon the Orcs, who took us captive. I dare not guess their reasons, and indeed, I was ill for much of the march."
"Then if you cannot speak of Orcs' purposes, what of your own? How came you to be lost in a strange land? For do I not guess rightly that the South has never seen your like before, Master Baggins?"
"You do guess rightly," Frodo replied, and then paused. Faramir's gaze did not waver, and he knew that he must be very careful now, for if he strayed from the truth, then Faramir would know it. "Sam and I traveled south with a small company from Rivendell, which the Elves call Imladris. Gandalf the Grey was our leader, who alas, fell in Moria."
"Gandalf fell in Moria?" Faramir questioned sharply, eyes widening with disbelief. "Are you certain of this?"
"Quite certain," Frodo replied, "for we saw him fall before us." Faramir shook his head, as if unable to fathom that, and after a moment, Frodo asked, "Shall I continue, or should I cease for a time?" Again, Faramir motioned for him to go on, and so he did. "There traveled also with us an Elf and a Dwarf, and two of my younger cousins, as well as two Men. Your brother, sir, was one of them. We each of us had our business, and the two Men in particular purposed to come to Gondor, to Minas Tirith–that I know, and if you speak to them of me, then you shall have a fuller answer to your questions than I can give, for I am late come to this war and would have nothing to do with it for my part."
For a long moment, Faramir was silent, digesting this. Then, darting a glance at Sam and then back at Frodo again, he gave a soft grunt and said, "A strange tale, though it has the mark of truth to it. If indeed you knew my brother–and given your words at our first meeting, I must conclude that you did–then it will not surprise you to learn that Imladris is not unknown in the South, thanks to the words of the dream rhyme. But there again, we touch on matters that are unclear, and which by your silence remain unclear. For if you were part of that company, and if Mithrandir, whom you call Gandalf, was truly your guide ere his death, and if my brother traveled willingly with you, then must it not be that you could explain this riddle for me, if you would? What counsel was given in Rivendell that could break the power of yonder nameless land?"
"The Wise, mayhap, could explain it to you, or Aragorn, the other Man of whom I spoke, for he has long sought the overthrow of the Enemy. And he and your brother must draw nigh soon to Minas Tirith, if they are not there already."
"Minas Tirith is leagues from here. Our enemies, by contrast, are close–mere miles from our doorstep, as often as not, though they have yet to discover this refuge. I have not the time to bandy riddles, nor to send for loremasters, for we must move again and soon," Faramir answered, and gave a bare, mirthless smile. "I would hear the tale of this Aragorn and of Mithrandir's final end from my brother. But as he is not here, I must make do with the accounts of two... hobbits, if I recall Master Gamgee's words correctly. Yes, two hobbits. I assure you that I have had long practice in sifting the words of the learned and also of the simple, and of men who wish simply to live as well as they may in hard times. I think that if you essay to teach me your errand, you shall not find me wanting as a pupil. Speak, therefore, and to the point: what is your business? And what is Isildur's Bane, since clearly I deal now with Halflings?"
"If you would learn the business of that company with which I journeyed," Frodo replied, and felt his spine stiffening as he drew himself up as much as he could before Faramir's proud and piercing gaze, "then you must inquire of those who come to south to your city, for I am no longer a part of it. As for Isildur's Bane, that is yet hidden."
"I see," Faramir answered flatly. "In other words, I should mind my own business, even as you seek to mind yours, and inquire elsewhere. No, Master Baggins, I fear that I cannot do that in good conscience. But mayhap," he added, with a sigh and a measuring look, "you have reason to mistrust me. 'You shall never have it!' you told me, when first we met, and called me Boromir. Now, I know not what passed between him and you, but whatever it was, clearly it was serious. And so seeing me, you see him and all your argument, whatever it was."
Sam, at this, darted a look at Frodo, who dared not take his eyes from Faramir's face. The captain's eyes flicked over him once more, pausing on the bulge under his shirt sleeve where the bandages lay, and swept again over his face, noting the bruises, the scrapes. After a moment, he seemed to sigh, and then he rose, looking once to Sam, and then back again to Frodo as he had before. "Your fears are understandable, for is it not the place of brother to defend brother? But I am a captain of Gondor first, and my duty, at least, is clear. I cannot allow you to leave here until I know your task and have made my decision.
"But this I will say, and you may take it as hopeful, if you will: I am not my brother," he said, and Frodo's eyes narrowed, for it seemed to him that there was a note of... pain... of regret when he spoke those words. "You may rest here for a time, and recover your strength, both of you. And while you do, think on what I have said. For we will speak of this again."
He turned to leave, but Sam blurted out just then, "But what decision must you make, sir? You have not told us that yet."
Faramir paused just short of the curtain, and turned to give Sam a look up and down, ere he said coolly, "Whether to slay you or not, Master Gamgee. For that is the law of this land–to slay all whom I find, if they be not friends whom I can send to the White Tower. Rest if you can, and as I said, we shall speak later. Food will be sent to you." With that, he left them, Sam agape and Frodo with an unreadable expression on his face.
The curtain fell back across the entry, hiding him from sight, muffling the sounds of men's quiet industry as soldiers went back and forth in the cavern without on unknown tasks. Sam shut his mouth audibly, eyes narrowing as he gazed after Faramir. Food my foot! We'll have to watch that one nearly as much as the Orcs! Which left a bad taste in Sam's mouth, for he was unwilling to think ill of Boromir's brother, even knowing what Boromir had nearly done. After all, he didn't do it in the end, and this one hasn't done a thing yet, really. He may be all right. And then again, he might not be: who was to say whether Faramir might not also fall prey to that thrice-accursed Ring? "Well, it's a nice pickle we've landed ourselves in, Mr. Frodo," he offered gamely just then, breaking the heavy silence that had fallen. "But what do we do now?"
Frodo sighed softly and drew his knees up to his chest, wincing slightly as he laid a bruised cheek upon them, thinking. I am not my brother, Faramir had said, and Frodo wanted to believe it. Yet when first he had seen him, he had seemed so like his brother, and the memory of Boromir's shame burned in his mind, a rare clear beacon in the mists of his memory. Then again, that very clarity worried him: had he honestly mistaken Faramir for Boromir? Or had it been a trick of the Ring to cheat his eyes and deceive him into giving himself away? Each passing day it grows heavier. And shall it call through me to him, as it did to Boromir? As it did to Grishnákh? There seemed little choice but to school his will to resist, and hope that somehow, he would convince Faramir to release them despite the Ring's influence, which he could feel now as a steady sort of pulse in the back of his mind. Faramir might not be aware of it, but Frodo knew that at any time the Ring might reach out to snare another's will, if it could.
But it may take some time; usually, it takes time. I must persuade him to trust me. Though how I'm to do that when he already knows so much, and suspects more, I do not know. Now indeed would it be the nick of time for Boromir to arrive! But even that was no sure rescue, for what if the fit took him again, as it had at Parth Galen?
And what if he cannot come? What if he... and all the others... are dead? And how shall I tell Faramir that I left his brother in such straits? "Mr. Frodo?" Frodo blinked, drawn out of his thoughts by Sam's insistent (and worried) voice.
"I don't know, Sam," he admitted reluctantly. "I don't know."
Orothar had been pleasantly surprised by the relatively minor injuries their unusual guests had sustained. "Bruises and cuts for the most part," the healer had reported when Faramir had returned after a successful ambush of the Haradrim. "The one had a bit of a fever, from that wound to the arm that was beginning to fester. But I have seen to it, and with rest, they ought both to be well enough. Mayhap 'tis true that fortune favors children and the innocent," Orothar had said, and shaken his head. Mablung, though, had snorted at that.
"Children or the innocent, is it? Well, small they may be, but they are not children. And nothing in Ithilien is innocent," the lieutenant had replied. It was true enough: no lad in Faramir's company could yet boast of having clean hands when it came to blood spilt. That left more sinister possibilities to consider, though admittedly, the two hobbits bore no resemblance to the usual breed of spies. But the image of Frodo's face, distorted with fear and outrage, as he had spoken Boromir's name had persisted through the dark hours of watchfulness and the frenzy of battle. During the march back to Henneth Annûn, Faramir had been much preoccupied with that memory: with Frodo's startling words, and Sam's desperate ones. Who are you, who speak of Boromir? What are you? Faramir had demanded even as Frodo had swooned, shocked out of his usual eloquence. Speak!
We're hobbits, sir, hobbits, Samwise had replied, and torn himself from Damrod's grip to throw himself between his master and Faramir's sword. We're no Orcs, I swear it! You've got to help us! Please!
And Damrod had said, Captain, if we make south a little ways further, then we may be able to catch the Haradrim unaware. We cannot make our attack here. But if we would do this, then we must leave quickly. There is no time, captain! And there had been the bodies of their own, still, to deal with, and the wounded as well, and none of them would get much rest that night, and fewer would return tomorrow than anticipated, for the land was not so ideal for an ambush further south and changes in battle plans at late hours almost never met with great success. And so he had snapped at Damrod and taken Samwise at his word and set questions of judgment aside for a time. But though he was only recently returned from the battlefield, he could no longer avoid his own questions, nor the requirements of law. But it may take time to unravel this puzzle, he thought, and wondered how much he could spare it.
"'Seek for the Sword that was Broken,'" he murmured to himself, as he stared out from the Window of Sunset, watching the fading light play off the curtain of water. "Halflings...."
"Captain?" a low voice asked, and Faramir turned swiftly to see a weary Damrod standing there.
"Damrod," Faramir beckoned, and his lieutenant approached. "How fare our guests?"
"Well enough, I suppose. I saw to their supper, and they seemed glad enough of a meal. No signs of imminent treachery, if that is what you mean, sir," Damrod replied, and risked a slight smile.
"I suppose that that is a hopeful sign, although with two hundred armed men surrounding them, it would be foolish to announce themselves less than courteous guests," Faramir replied, and clapped Damrod on the shoulder, squeezing hard. "And how is your back?" For Damrod had been gored by a spear tip, and though the wound was not serious, Faramir knew well how painful it could be.
"If you could prevail upon Orothar to leave me be for a time, I may yet live, Captain," Damrod said wryly, and Faramir chuckled.
"You will do exactly as Orothar prescribes, for I cannot lose you." He paused, then, continued,
"And I am sorry for my words to you yesterday. I may need none to teach me of our peril, but sometimes I do need to be reminded. I fear I was not thinking clearly at the time. Thank you."
Damrod inclined his head, but said nothing, and after a moment, Faramir continued more briskly, "Anborn reports that we were not followed, but nevertheless, we must be cautious. The Enemy must soon learn what happened here, and when he does, we may need to move quickly. Speak with Orothar ere you go to your rest and see how many he thinks may be able to fight in five days' time."
"Aye, sir. Is there aught else?"
"No. Take some rest, Damrod, and we shall speak again in the morning. Good evening."
"Good evening, sir." With that, Damrod retreated, leaving Faramir alone with his thoughts once more. Isildur's Bane shall waken... the Halflings stand before me, and yet that is hidden. As is Boromir's path. And there was a matter that pricked unduly sharply, for though there were greater things at stake, he guessed, than his brother's relationship with two strangers, still, the fear and fierce defiance on Frodo's face when he had spoken Boromir's name had struck Faramir nearly breathless. Where are you, brother, and what passed between you and them? What matter so weighty that you should be set against two such as these? Did you learn the answer? Do you know what Isildur's Bane is? And how does it concern two Halflings flung into my arms by Orcs?
Pieces of the puzzle shifted in his head as he sought frantically a way to make sense of it all before the storm of Mordor broke upon them and swept all defenses away. So little time left! And here I have these two, who might in ten minutes answer all questions, and yet they will not. Isildur's Bane, the Sword that was Broken, Halflings, and Mithrandir's fall. There were those who might have accused the hobbits of murdering Mithrandir, given their suspicious silence, yet Faramir found the very idea outlandish. What could harm a wizard, after all? Surely not these two! And for all that I trust them not, I read no murder in them. But what, then, do I miss in this? What that would unlock the rhyme and solve the riddle for me?
Long Faramir stood there before the veil of water, listening to the whisper of it as it rushed over the rocks and plunged down to the pool below. Weary as he was, he was not yet so tired that he could sleep with such questions on his mind. The watches wore away, and eventually, Anborn joined him there on the ledge, just as the moon was rising, shedding a cool, watery light on all the land. An owl cried out, its voice echoing weirdly in the sheltered little alcove where they stood, and then fell suddenly silent. Faramir felt a shiver work its way down his back, and he pulled his cloak close about him. Where are you in this night, Boromir? Months it had been since he had left, and if they shared nothing else, Faramir knew that he and his lord and father, Denethor, both counted the days since Boromir's departure and fretted in silence. Faramir even fancied that in his dreams, there came the faint call of his brother's horn: the barest whisper of an echo from afar, and yet his nightly visions filled his days with foreboding. For no news had come until a lot of misguided Orcs had nearly run into Faramir's very arms, bearing with them the most unlikely of couriers... and the most silent. Where are you, brother?
At just that moment, and without warning, Anborn suddenly fit arrow to string and quick as a fox, let sing his bow. From below, there came a mournful cry that ended quite suddenly, ere Faramir could so much as take two steps to join Anborn where he perched, just beyond the falling waters. Staring down into the moonlit basin below, Faramir could make out a small, limp shape floating in the water, and for some reason, it filled him with dread. Glancing up at Anborn, he raised a brow, inviting explanation. "Kingfisher, my lord," Anborn said laconically.
"Ah." A kingfisher. Who knew, even, whether it had been friend or foe or merely a dumb beast? But the law was ruthless, and Faramir sighed softly, glancing down once more at the bird. Already, the heavy silence of a land under shadow had returned, stifling even the memory of the kingfisher's mortal cry. After a moment, Faramir drew back a pace. Another fine night's work! he thought, feeling disgust twist in his gut. But he said nothing, for there was nothing to be said and especially not before one of his men. With a nod for Anborn, he withdrew then, and made his way back down into the cavern beneath the falls in search of sleep, for it seemed of a sudden that the weight of the Argonath had descended upon his shoulders.
And yet, despite his intention to rest, he found himself standing once more before the curtained recess where slept the hobbits. Why do I pause? They are as weary as are you; surely they sleep now, he thought. Nevertheless, he reached and quietly drew back the heavy drape. It was dark within, for the candle had been extinguished, but Faramir's eyes picked out two forms huddled together beneath the blankets, curled up tight as snails in their shells. As frightened children they seemed truly, now that the darkness had robbed them of faces, and Faramir felt his heart sink. Children and the innocent... shall I ever learn the answers to my questions? He knew not how long he stood there, staring at his unusual guests, but it could not have been very long. It had been nearly two days since Faramir had last slept, and his body fairly ached with the fatigue that came of two hard-fought battles and a host of worries. Exhaling softly, he quietly drew the curtain shut once more and went at last to his rest...
... while Sam breathed a silent sigh of relief as he heard the rustle of heavy cloth, and then Faramir moving quietly away. And what was that about? he wondered. He's a queer one, is Captain Faramir, and I can't say as I like it. Memories of Boromir's face and ever-watchful eyes flitted through his mind, and he shivered slightly. It started that way with Boromir, too, with him watching us... always watching. Bless him, I know he realized it finally, and I don't mean him any disrespect, but.... But it was better safe than sorry. It's like I thought before: he may be all right, but he may not, too. Sam sighed and rubbed at his eyes, determinedly. Good thing I slept a bit in the afternoon, while Mr. Frodo was awake, because I won't be getting any more sleep tonight!
"Well, it's a nice pickle we've landed ourselves in, Mr. Frodo."—FotR, "The Council of Elrond, 264, minor wording alterations.
There are a number of lines that play very closely off of conversations and/or situations found in TTT, starting in "Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit" and "The Window on the West," but are not actually direct quotes. The above citation is the only one which is significantly similar to the point of making me think a real citation is necessary.

The Grateful Dead's Bob Weir Returns To Action
Tuesday, June 18, 2013
The Grateful Dead's Bob Weir made a surprise appearance at Sonoma, California's Huichica Music Festival on Saturday, June 15th. The guitarist joined Jonathan Wilson for four songs during a set that included Dead favorite "Dark Star" and "Truckin'." According to the Hollywood Reporter, it was his first appearance since he collapse during a performance in Portchester, New York on April 25th.
After his initial collapse, Weir continued to play from a chair but after a brief break he did not return to the stage. According to initial reports, Weir was suffering from pain in his shoulder and may have ingested an Ambien by mistake.
Weir is scheduled to perform a solo show later this week on June 23rd at the Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, California. He is then scheduled to open for Bob Dylan on select dates of the Americanarama tour.
In the past, Weir explained what it was like to leave home at age 16 to become a full-time musician: "It was the most natural; thing I could have done. And, it was a little tough, y'know, leaving home and forgetting about school and not pleasing my parents a whole lot (by) running off with a rock n' roll band. But by the time they checked out I was bringing home gold records, so they were good with it."

(CNN) — Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have taken "Thrift Shop" all the way to the bank.
The duo have made history on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, as their first two singles, the aforementioned "Shop" and the more recent "Can't Hold Us" with Ray Dalton, have both shot to No. 1.
That makes Macklemore and Lewis the first duo in Billboard's history to see their first two singles climb to the top of the chart.
While their single "Same Love" hasn't gone quite as far (at least, not yet), it is making just as much of an impact. The artist rhymes about questioning his sexuality as a kid, and discusses the inequality and stereotyping the gay community faces.
In an interview with Out magazine, Macklemore said that he wanted to tackle the issue of gay rights through a hip-hop track but wasn't sure how to do it.
"I knew I wanted to write a song about gay rights, about marriage equality, and about homophobia in hip-hop, but I didn't know how," the rapper said. "I tried, at first, writing from the perspective of a gay, bullied kid. That's what sparked the song in the first place: reading the story of a 13-year-old who committed suicide."
In the end, he continued, "Same Love" is a song about equality.
"[W]e play it regardless of what we think the response is going to be. There's been such ground made in terms of acceptance in the hip-hop community," Macklemore said. "What Barack Obama did, and what Frank Ocean did, and what, hopefully, 'Same Love' did is start a conversation."

Bees not the only native pollinators
Sunday, February 24, 2013
Most gardeners know that our native bumblebees are good pollinators: reliable workhorses that pollinate even when honeybees stay in the hive and complain that it's too chilly, or that they don't like the rain. But you may not know that there are many other native pollinators, some very specialized, and that they can help us get good harvests. There are things we can do to support our unsung helpers including some that we can do now, in the dead of winter.
Native pollinators need three things to be successful: adequate food, generally in the form of native flowers; a suitable place to lay eggs and shelter their brood; and lastly, protection from pesticides.
This is a time of year when you could build some nesting sites for native solitary bees. I have a simple nesting box on the side of my barn, and I occasionally see little bees or wasps coming and going in summer. It looks like a bird house, but the front side is open and it is filled with 6-inch lengths of bamboo of different diameters stacked up from wall to wall and top to bottom. Each piece of bamboo is open on the end facing out, and closed off at the other end. Here is how to make one:
Another way to create a nesting site for native pollinators is to use a 6-inch diameter block of wood that is 12-18 inches long and drill it full of holes ranging in diameter from 1/8 inch to 3/8 inch. Space the holes about ¾ inches apart in rows. For holes up to ¼ of an inch, the holes can be 3-4 inches deep; for those ¼ inch or larger, 5-6 deep inches is recommended. Hang this — or your bee box — on your barn or in a tree with the drilled holes facing east to get morning sun.
It will be awhile before we see bees, but it is good to think about them while it is still cold and snowy.

text: First we were told that any concerns about the Muslim Brotherhood merely signified the prejudice of those expressing them. Then the Muslim Brotherhood actually took power and we were told that we needed to respect the will of the people and that all of this is simply Egypt getting in touch with it's true nature. Now we have this: "Destroy the idols," Egyptian jihadist calls for removal of Sphinx, Pyramids Are we ready to admit that Islam is not native to Egypt (or Iran, or Afghanistan, etc)? It is a foreign culture that overtakes its hosts. Does anyone really believe that this is an expression of Egyptian culture?

Is it possible to make the Phoronix Test Suite work on Windows as well? It would be kinda cool if performance could be compared between Windows and Linux with the test suite.
Phoronix: A Detailed Guide To Phoronix Test Suite 2.0
In less than two weeks we will be officially releasing Phoronix Test Suite 2.0 "Sandtorg" and this by far is the biggest upgrade ever to our flagship testing and benchmarking software. While the Phoronix Test Suite is most often associated with Linux, this open-source software is also compatible with Mac OS X, OpenSolaris, and BSD operating systems too, all of which offer new improvements with Phoronix Test Suite 2.0. In this article we have detailed some of the major highlights of Phoronix Test Suite 2.0 and how we seek to drive innovation into PC benchmarking and performance profiling.
Is it possible to make the Phoronix Test Suite work on Windows as well? It would be kinda cool if performance could be compared between Windows and Linux with the test suite.
Please make sure the PTS Live Linux ends up with an alternate BIG SMP variant kernel as well so we can run tests on large servers. A non-Desktop oriented test suite set would also be very welcome.
Not to mention Windows has enough benchmarking programs as it is...you know...the whole reason behind PTS coming to be, lack of benchmarking on Linux/BSD/etc. As far as *open source* Windows benchmarking, I dunno, but who wants to help open source on a closed source platform? Just silly.
Such testing isn't reliable unless you use exactly the same tests on both OSes on the same machine to ensure the least amount of variables in the experimentation.
Is there any way to determine what the command-line equivalent is for each of the tests in the GUI implementation of PTS 2.0 ? I'd really like to know what the setting is for the record size in the IOzone test!

Green thumb? Wash. state looks for pot consultant
Sunday, February 3, 2013
Washington and Colorado this fall became the first states to pass laws legalizing the recreational use of marijuana and setting up systems of state-licensed growers, processors and retail stores where adults over 21 can walk in and buy up to an ounce of heavily taxed cannabis.
Other categories cover quality testing, including how to test for levels of THC, the compound that gets marijuana users high; statistical analysis of how much marijuana the state's licensed growers should produce; and the development of regulations, a category that requires a "strong understanding of state, local or federal government processes," with a law degree preferred.
Khurshid Khoja, a suited corporate lawyer from San Francisco, sat beside a balding, ponytailed man in a gray sweatshirt -- Ed Rosenthal, a co-founder of High Times magazine and a recognized expert on marijuana cultivation. They're on a team bidding for the contract.
"It would be my dream to smoke a bowl with you after this," he said.

Scott receives RAA athlete of the year award
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
ROCHESTER — First of all, it's not all about Trey Scott.
Imagine two healthy Scotts in the backfield.
"That was another big reason why we didn't win too many games," Trey Scott said of his brother's injury. "He's a great player. It put more pressure on me. It's weird, when we're together we have this chemistry. D-II was definitely a hard division to play in this (past) year."
Scott's high games were against Manchester West (239 yards) and Bedford (226 yards). In the final game of the season against Somersworth on Thanksgiving, Scott carried the ball 12 times for 164 yards and two touchdowns. It was a special game for Scott, not only because Spaulding won, 38-22, but also because his brother Tyrone played his first game of the season and the last of his career, also rushing for more than 100 yards and scoring two TDs.
"That was fun," Trey Scott said. "It's his senior year, his first game, but his last game. It was special. I got to carry the ball a lot this year, but I didn't have my brother next to me. I didn't get to play with him."

In Chris Grant's case, GM could stand for grand magician
Blog Entry:
June 28, 2013 9:59 AM | Author: KEVIN KLEPS
Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant has made four top-four overall picks the last three years.
That, in itself, is nothing to admire.
One, All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, seems like a no-brainer now, but two years ago, many Cavs fans —
and members of the media
— preferred Derrick Williams.
In back-to-back years — 2011 and 2012 — Grant drafted players at No. 4 who were widely panned.
In 2011, Tristan Thompson was a shocking choice at No. 4. And while he might never be an All-Star, he has certainly proven to be effective. In 10 games this past April, Thompson averaged 13.7 points and 10.8 rebounds, and he posted five double-doubles.
The next year, it was Dion Waiters' turn to be an outside-the-box No. 4 choice, and the shooting guard certainly has his flaws — mainly, his lack of a consistent outside shot. But Waiters was second among all rookies in scoring (14.6) and third among first-year players in assists (3.0) last season.
Thursday night, as if he had anything to prove in this department, Grant made his most shocking selection yet.
Anthony Bennett wasn't among the top four candidates most often discussed as possibilities for the Cavs at No. 1 overall in the 2013 draft — Alex Len, Nerlens Noel, Ben McLemore and Otto Porter were in that quartet.
But Bennett might be the most talented offensive player in a weak draft class, and he might, to borrow a phrase from Jay Bilas, have the most upside.
That's what I like about the pick for the Cavs. Instead of taking a big man with injury issues (Len and Noel), Grant swung for the fences.
He didn't worry about filling a specific position need — Bennett likely can't play a lot of minutes at small forward — and instead took whom he thought was the best player.
I preferred McLemore, but I understand why the Cavs would like Bennett better.
He's 6-foot-7, he can score (16.1 points in 27.1 minutes per contest as a freshman at UNLV last season) and he can shoot (37.5% from 3-point range in 2012-13).
The Cavs' night got even better when Russian swingman Sergey Karasev — widely regarded as a top-15 pick — fell to No. 19.
Karasev could fill a need at small forward, and at 19, he gives the Cavs six potential building blocks — Irving, Thompson, Waiters, Bennett, Karasev and Tyler Zeller — age 23 and under.
It's not the Cavs' fault this draft didn't have a typical no-doubt-about-it No. 1 pick.
It would have been nice to see them do more — trading the top pick for a young All-Star and/or dealing the 19th, 31st and 33rd selections for a young veteran or a higher pick — but this draft had so few impact players, the Cavs' four trade chips (their picks) weren't as valuable.
So Grant stood pat and took a chance on one of the few players in the NBA draft's Class of 2013 who could be an All-Star.
Anthony Bennett isn't your typical No. 1 pick.
But it's Grant's job to take the best player.
Again, he surprised us.
And again, he might be proven correct.
The Tribe is a hit on TV
The Indians' win over the Orioles on Wednesday night on SportsTime Ohio was the top-rated television broadcast in the Cleveland market, according to a Fox Sports Ohio spokeswoman. The Indians-Orioles game generated a 6.2 rating — the 24th time in 73 contests in which the Tribe posted a rating of at least 6 this season.
The Indians already have had more games with a TV rating of 6 or better than they did all of last season, and their average rating for the season reached a two-month high following Wednesday's broadcast — 5.24.
Compared to the first 73 games last season, the Indians' ratings are up 8.6% this season.
Could Haslam sell the Browns?
column by Mike Ozanian
is compelling — and concerning.
Ozanian makes the argument that the NFL's bigger concern right now isn't Aaron Hernandez, it's a team that "should be one of football's flagship small-market franchises" being owned by someone whose family company is under fire for defrauding customers.
"Credit ratings for Pilot Flying J have been put on negative watch for possible downgrade by both Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's," Ozanian writes.
His conclusion: "Don't be shocked if (Jimmy) Haslam unloads his team. It might be the best thing for both the Browns and the NFL."
(Thursday, Haslam and a group of investors
sold their minor league baseball team
, the Double-A Tennessee Smokies.)
There are rocky offseasons, and there are Cleveland Browns offseasons.
The year isn't even half over, and it seems like it's only going to get worse for Haslam, who, only eight months ago, was seen as the much-needed new face of the Browns.
Now we're left to wonder if he will be the new face of something much worse: Another chapter in a history of things going horribly wrong for a once-storied franchise.

High school wrestling preview: Marshwood now in defending mode
Tuesday, December 11, 2012
DOVER — Marshwood High School's emotional 2012 Maine Class A state championship wrestling win is behind them. Now the Hawks set their sights on the 2013 title.
Also back are Elliot Allen and Trevor Smith who placed second at the states, as well as Lucas Howarth who was third. Also back are Brett Gerry, William Bellottie and Dan Lizotte.
Of the four defending state champions, only Janes (who picked up his 100th career win this past Saturday on his 18th birthday) will likely stay at his same weight (145 pounds). Rix said Hughes has grown and will wrestle at 160 or 170, Davidson will be at 120 or 126 and Jackson Howarth will move up to 145 or 152.
Allen and Smith will move up to 113 and 132 or 138, respectively. Others who fit into the picture are Gerry (182), Lizotte (182, 195), Bellottie (126, 132) and Lucas Howarth (170, 182).
"Everyone is going for you when you come back as defending champ," said Rix, whose team won its first Class A title last winter since moving up in 1999. Previously the Hawks had won four championships in Class B. "You've got something to live up to."
"They picked me up," he said. "It made me realize it's a big part of who I am. It got me out of the ditches. It made me feel I had a purpose to be here. It's been a good thing."
"It was a long season," said veteran Noble coach Kip DeVoll. "We were hit with discipline and grade issues, and we never recovered."
DeVoll said he is not going to overstate his team's goals. They need to stay healthy and eligible, but he feels if that happens they can be a top-five team come February.

The Book the Changed Me
I am sorry if this has been talked about before. But I see a lot on here of people's struggles and I realized what made me grow a whole lot better. It was understanding the way people communicate love. The book or idea about the 5 love languages has always helped me be a great date and all that and to be honest with out knowing it I met someone who I started dating and found out she has read it as well. It's like being with a best friend with out trying. It doesn't tell you who to match with but it tells you how you liked to be love and how to understand the language of others love which may be different than your own. Has anyone else had success with this book?

Foreigner Rolls Out First 2014 Tour Dates
Thursday, November 21, 2013
Foreigner has rolled out its initial 2014 North American dates. The band, led by co-founding guitarist Mick Jones and fronted by lead singer Kelly Hansen, kick off the band's 2014 tour dates on February 7th in Midland, Texas at the Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center. The band has dates on the books through March 1st at Reno, Nevada's Silver Legacy Resort Casino.
Mick Jones spoke to Gibson.com and was asked if he ever felt underappreciated as a lead guitarist by the general public, and explained, "It was never really my personality to be a 'guitar hero.' I was always more interested in being part of a band, leading a band, than any personal fame as a musician. A lot of people I've worked with have said they think I'm 'overlooked' as a guitar player but that's not my concern. I think I have a good appreciation within the guitar business, but I never really wanted to project myself so much."
We asked Mick Jones if there's a tried and true moment when he knows he's on the path to writing a future rock standard: "I had that feeling, definitely, with 'I Want To Know What Love Is.' I also had it with 'Waiting For A Girl Like You,' y'know, those songs come along. 'Hot Blooded' was a natural. There's a number of them that I felt -- y'know, you can never know really, but I can only judge by the goose-bump factor. If I am moved myself -- and I'm a very hard, tough judge -- then I know that there's a good chance that it did something special, and then most of the time that have been. They just had somehow the ability to reach a lot of people."
Foreigner North American tour dates (subject to change):
November 29 - Lincoln, RI - Twin River Events Center
February 7 - Midland, TX - Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center
February 9 - Beaumont, TX - Ford Park
February 14 - Moncton, NB - The Centre at Casino New Brunswick
February 15 - Montreal, QC - Olympia de Montreal
February 16 - Burlington, VT - Flynn Theatre
February 18 - Portland, ME - State Theatre
February 20 - New Brunswick, NJ - State Theatre
February 21 - Lancaster, PA - American Music Theatre
February 22 - Port Chester, NY - The Capitol Theatre
February 28 - West Wendover, NV - Peppermill Concert Hall
March 1 - Reno, NV - Silver Legacy Resort Casino

Baby boy still recovering from liver transplant: Fundraiser continues to help Milton family overwhelmed by expenses
Thursday, January 10, 2013
MILTON — Nine-month-old Braxton Staples successfully received a liver transplant on New Year's Eve at Boston's Children's Hospital, but his mother said his fight for life is just beginning.
Braxton was one of those rare cases and has been undergoing surgery since he was merely eight weeks old.
In an effort to help raise the money for the liver transplant, Frampton and her friends have organized a fundraiser called Hope for Braxton to help with endless expenses. Katelyn Day, a friend of Frampton's, mentioned on Tuesday that Braxton's mother set a small goal of $500 to be raised for her son.

'Melo' sparks Knicks over Celtics
Friday, January 25, 2013
BOSTON — Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points and won his rematch with Kevin Garnett as the New York Knicks ended an 11-game losing streak in Boston with an 89-86 victory over the Celtics on Thursday night.
Garnett and Anthony had jawed with each other during the teams' previous matchup. After that game, Anthony walked toward the Celtics locker room before security personnel stepped in and sent him back toward the Knicks' room.
But Boston's last chance ended when Pierce lost the ball out of bounds as he was receiving a pass with 7.1 seconds left.

Happy Birthday, Carly Simon
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
Happy Birthday to Carly Simon, who turns 68 today (June 25th)!!! Simon's most recent album, 2009's Never Been Gone, features new acoustic version of her classics "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be," "Let The River Run," "Coming Around Again," "Anticipation," "You Belong To Me," and "You're So Vain."
Last spring, Simon signed a deal with Random House to publish her autobiography. Simon shed light on the book on her official website, CarlySimon.com: "I was born into the world of book publishing. My father, the co-founder of Simon and Schuster, published many stories in their autobiographical form, and after I finally understood that making books wasn't just about glue, scotch tape and thick paisley paper, I was old enough to read some of them. . . After years of keeping journals and writing lyrics for my tunes, I have developed a strong interest in seeing how my life might just string together in a longer form. I know I'll be looking for a strong chorus, like a repeating dream or theme. I am thrilled to be writing for Random House. I know both of my parents would be smiling and proud."
There has been no date set for the still-untitled memoir.
Simon admits that she was never a big fan of birthdays, even as a little girl: "They're all big in a way. I've never been a birthday person. I've always had birthdays that were at the beginning of summer camp and so all my friends went away to summer camp on my birthday, generally, so I never had parties. And so I was the only one in the family that was never given a party because of it being just that my friends were all away then. Boo-hoo. I always say I don't care about my birthday and then it turns out if people forget it, I get sad, but I say I don't really care."
She told us that says that the most enjoyable part of recording these days is singing with her adult children from her marriage to James Taylor, Sally and Ben Taylor: "With Sally and Ben, when the three. . . I mean Sally and I have very different voices, but there's something about them that sounds almost identical when we sing. And Ben and I have very similar voices even though he enunciates very much like James, but the huskiness in his voice is like mine. So when Ben and I sing together it sounds very much like the way James and I used to sing."

I'm trying to transfer an project from WP7 to WP8 (and therefore updating from Bing Maps to Nokia's).
Originally I had bounded a map region based on a whole bunch(20) of GeoCoordinates which created a MapPolygon and then changed the Opacity property of the MapPolygon before adding it as a Child to the Map Control.
As I'm trying to make the transition to Nokia's Map Control it seems to me that there is no way to specify the region of the Polygon I want created using GeoCoordinates.
Which means that as I Zoom in and out on the map the Polygon stays the same shape on the screen.
Surely there has to be a way to allow the Polygon to remain the same proportional size no matter if you zoom in/out?!?!?
I know that Bing Maps can still be used so I tried implementing it, but because it is deprecated somebody thought it was a good idea to take away the Opacity property of their MapPolygon.
Now I'm stuck in between a rock and a hard place... either I can't change/set the Opacity property(Bing) or else I have a Polygon which won't stay fixed on the map (Nokia).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
