* ContestedSequel: [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros To]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels the]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2 original]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 Super Mario Bros.]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld games]]. It didn't get this reaction too bad until Nintendo announced a third and fourth game to be released in the same year. Many people began to deride Nintendo for over-relying on the sub-series, if not ''Mario'' as a whole, derisively being compared to the oversaturation of the CallOfDuty series. For reference, NewSuperMarioBros launched in 2006, and in less than a decade has now accumulated more installments and DLC than series that have been around since the N64 era, like PaperMario or SuperSmashBros. Though it hasn't stopped each game from being a commercial success, and while the critical reception has remained positive, fan reactions have been more polarized.
* DeaderThanDisco: The fanbase was pretty hyped for the original ''New Super Mario Bros.'', as it was the 2D Mario revival that they had been clamoring for, and it got massive critical and commercial success upon release. Now, with new ''[=NSMB=]'' games being released on a fairly regular basis, some fans now view the sub-series as a pointless, boring series of rehashes, and often compare it unfavorably with the other ''Mario'' sub-series.
* DuelingGames: VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii to VideoGame/RaymanOrigins (and to a lesser extent, VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4) and VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU to VideoGame/RaymanLegends.
* GameBreaker: The Fire Flower from the original game is not only easier to master than every other power-up, it's also far more common! Oh, it can tear right through most bosses.
** There's also the VideoGameFlight ([[NotQuiteFlight or at least something close]]) power-ups: The Propeller Mushroom in ''Wii'' [[spoiler: and ''U'']], the Super Acorn in ''U'', and the Super Leaf in ''2''.
* ItsEasySoItSucks: A common complaint of the sub-series, at least the handheld games. The console games are much more difficult.
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Every game in the series invoked this reaction from people due to it being a 2D platformer with the same artstyle, which reached a peak with ''2'' and ''U''.
** MissionPackSequel: It hasn't gone unnoticed that the games have a habit of not just [[CallBack reusing assets from past Mario games]], but reusing the same assets from each other. [[GenreSavvy Savvy players]] will notice that even [[CutandPasteComic the covers themselves]] [[CutandPasteComic tend to reuse slightly altered artwork]].
* MostAnnoyingSound: The "BAH!" sound that permeates most of the music in the series to some, mostly because of it's omnipresence.

The Walker Reviews

Carter Page III: I have had some illusions shattered... I thought we weren't an aggressor nation. I thought there was a separation between church and state. Hell, I even thought that the people elected the president.�
"Everyone loves a good scandal"
The Walker is an example of great performances in search of a good movie. The whole time I was watching this film, I was thinking, this should be an amazing movie. Woody Harrelson and Kristin Scott Thomas both gave extraordinary performances. The film looked great and had an appeal to it that should have made me love it. But it never managed to suck me in. I was left feeling less than satisfied by the way Schrader managed the tempo and scandal. Schrader had some interesting ideas, but never managed to execute them to their fullest potential.
Woody Harrelson plays Carter Page III, a gay escort who spends time with the rich women of D.C. His job is to keep them company, sometimes by playing cards with them. He drives them around , tells them how good they look, and talks to them about everything. One day he is driving Lynn Lockner �to where her lover is awaiting her. When she arrives she comes back out telling Carter that the man is dead. Carter decides to cover for her since this would ruin her and her husband's life, and tells the police that he found the man. This puts him as suspect number one, and he soon finds himself knee deep in a scandal.
I preferred the last thirty minutes of the film to the first hour, fifteen. The first part of the movie is so dull and at times had me restless. The last part did start to pull me in again, but by that time it was really too late. The Walker had a lot potential, and I did enjoy the performances and the sophisticated sets, but Schrader could have had a masterpiece. Instead it's just a decent little dramatic scandal.

The last time writer/director Paul Schrader delved into the seedy world of male escorts was in 1980 with "American Gigolo". That film gained notoriety, not for it's quality or exemplary filmmaking but for being the first time on screen that there was full frontal male nudity in a mainstream film. Thankfully we are spared such indescretion this time, but it still doesn't save the film.
Carter Page III (Woody Harrelson) is an escort for some of Washington, D.C.'s finest society women. He accompanies them to several high-class events whenever they are in need of male company. When the husband of one of his lady friends appears murdered, Carter gets caught up in a scandal-tinged murder mystery.
Paul Schrader is normally quite reliable but I wish I had remembered that the aforementioned "American Gigolo" was a stinker before I'd sat down to this equally poor retread and saved myself the time. And quite a bit of time that would have been. It would have amounted to 1hour 47mins, which going by the pace of this film, would have seemed as if I'd saved more. By god this film takes a long time going nowhere. Harrelson puts in a decent attempt as the gay socialite with southern drawl but ultimately he's miscast. He maintains your interest for a short time and from the beginning the film looks very promising. However, it soon becomes very dull, very quickly, and there's nothing Harrelson or the impressive supporting cast of fabulous actresses can do about it.
Murder mysteries normally have anticipation, suspense, and intrigue. This has neither, and going by the mis-judged tempo of the film, "The Crawler" would have been a better choice of title.

A wonderful performance by Woody Harrelson and some crisp dialogue mask a rather weak who-done-it.
As it takes place in the nation's capital, somehow I was not surprised that the rat's all abandoned the sinking ship as soon as they sniffed an iceberg. This certainly was no revelation, and to hinge a film on that tired premiss was unfortunate.
This film would have faired much better as a charactor study of a gay man who stands outside beltway society on one hand, and yet wallows in it on the other; who still somehow believes in some basic sense of honor and responsibility. He sticks by one of his "girls", even though he believes her to be guilty, and even though by doing so he places himself squarly in the DA's sights. The irony of course is that the "old money" powerbrokers (of which he once was a part, until he was outed) have already shown their true colors by condemning his sexual actions in the first place.
An interesting film and a social commentary wrapped inside a standard potboiler that never quite comes to a boil.

[font=Century Gothic]In "The Walker," Carter Page III(Woody Harrelson) is the son of a Watergate prosecutor and grandson of a plantation owner. He spends one day a week working in a real estate office. The rest of his time is spent keeping the lonely women of Washington, DC society company, whether it be playing canasta, shopping or watching opera. One day, he escorts Lynn Lockner(Kristin Scott Thomas) to an assignation with Robbie Kononsberg(Steven Hartley) but when they get there, she discovers his murdered body. Acting as a southern gentleman, he makes sure she is not further involved, keeping the career of her husband Larry(Willem Dafoe), a senator, safe. But now Carter comes under suspicion since Robbie lost him a lot of money on investments.[/font]
[font=Century Gothic]Written and flatly directed by Paul Schrader, "The Walker" is a frustratingly vague murder mystery. The sole purpose of the movie may have been to take pot shots at the Bush administation which it roundly deserves but this also instantly dates the movie. When Carter remarks how bad things are now, I was thinking it could not have exactly been easy under Reagan either. All of which is a shame because a great cast is wasted. I certainly think if the movie had just consisted of Woody Harrelson, Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily Tomlin and Lauren Bacall playing canasta for two hours, then it would have been an enjoyable hoot. And I didn't even mention Ned Beatty.[/font]

Nailed subtle emotion, balanced heavy emotion and commitment to the gay element in a single role? Forget it, Woody Harrelson is officially on my favorite actors list. Now that that's over with, the film features compellingness, solid performances and fine dialogue. However, the lack of development, slowness and thrown-together storyline leave "The Walker" to be nothing too special of a film. Still, it's gonna have that special place in my heart for getting Harrelson on my favorite actor's list. "Special place in my heart"? Sounds like Harrelson's gayness in the film has some competition.

Paul Schrader is a filmmaker whose films require strong acting in order for them to work, as they are often dialogue-heavy. He doesn't rely as much on actions or visual effects as much as he does on words, so a good cast is an absolute necessity. That's one of the reasons why "The Walker" isn't all that great. The acting often seems cold and detached, especially from Lily Tomlin, who I found to be extremely monotonous. No one seems to be as involved as they should be. Really, the only good performance here comes from Woody Harrelson. He's basically the only reason to keep watching. He creates a character so unlike anything he's done before that we're immediately interested, and he does a great job at it. Other than his performance, "The Walker" isn't anything better than average. The writing's really not even all that great either, and that's surprising for Paul Schrader, who I usually find incredibly talented. He gives us a plot, but slightly obscures it. We know what's happening, but not as well as we should, and we continuously hear about Page's past, but Schrader never really goes any more in-depth with it. The pacing isn't anything to complain about, but I won't say that I was "excited" by what was happening.

Carter Page(Woody Harrelson) is a well-heeled and popular socialite who serves as confidant, companion, and card partner to some of the capitol's leading ladies. These pampered women are married to the most powerful men in America, and when their husbands are too busy running the country to attend to their wives, they turn to their "gay best friend," Carter, for warmth, wit and wisdom. Carter's loyalty is tested when his dearest friend finds herself on the brink of a scandal that could destroy her reputation and her husband's career.
Schrader's final "lonely men" picture. A very slow yet interesting film.

The Walker has one of the most mediocre plots I've ever seen, but luckily Woody Harrelson's performance -which is his best to date- was there to save the day. He was the only intriguing part of the film, and kept me watching despite the lagging narrative and otherwise bland characters surrounding him.

Gave this a 2nd look and found that it holds up rather well on a second watch.
The plotting itself is fairly mundane, but the cast manage to raise the film up, and Harrelson is wonderful in his role as a 'walker', the gay friend and confidante of some very powerful Washington men's wives.
I enjoyed the catty banter of the film, Harrelson's Southern gentleman is very engaging, but the storyline is ultimately somewhat dull.

The Walker
Woddy Harrelson (Carter Page) plays a lonely, self-loathing homosexual (his term) who, while attempted to cover up his friend's affair, is himself accused of murdering his friend's lover. His self dis-like is not because of his sexuality but because his father's legacy and his fear of the world that he carries since age 10, continues to haunt him into his 50's.
There are some very good performances here from some of film's great stars. Kristin Scott Thomas plays Page's friend (well, really, her "Walker," a man who accompanies women to wherever they go (e.g., a beard). Then there are Lauren Bacall and Lily Tomlin who fill out the ladie's Canasta game with whom Harrelson fits in real well as it is a prime source of gossip.
Although I think Harrelson does a fine job I could not quite buy his over the top raving queen act. Nevertheless, he is quite good in places and adds some suspense to an otherwise very slow moving film. When the film does move it seems to leave the audience behind and jumps to conclusions making us wonder how we arrived there. Unfortunately for Harrelson, he is typically the instrument of these awkward moments.
There are some anti-conservative references throughout this film that are distracting as they really have nothing to do with what is happening.
Nevertheless, I am going to recommend this film. I am a huge suspense fan and the film did manage to keep my attention throughout mostly due to the underrated performance of Moritz Bleibtreu who plays Harrelson's lover Emek Yoglu (I have no idea how they came up with these names!). He plays a paparazzi who finds clues and confronts Harrelson about his weaknesses and even saves his ass. Very good performance by Bleibtreu. I will check out some of his many other films.

it wasnt the plot that kept me interested in this film, it was the strong characters, and the dialogue. like schrader's other films, this is a morality tale and a good one. others have complained of its slow pacing. you just have to know where to look.

HRC Joins Eastern Europe at Prague Pride
August 29, 2014 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Ashley Fowler, HRC Global Engagement Coordinator
HRC's Director of Membership, Ann Crowley, recently presented at a three day workshop hosted by Open Society Foundations (OSF) in Prague. She spoke with Eastern European activists on how to build a broad donor base by building an engaged membership, as she has done for nineteen years at HRC.
The workshop focused on providing tools and techniques that will better equip grassroots organizations to find new donors. The eighteen attendees came from Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Romania.
The workshop also included presentations from Sylvia Rivera Law Project, Matty Hart of The Lafayette Practice, the Slovak-Czech Woman's Fund and the IGLTA Foundation. Participants were provided time during breakout sessions to brainstorm ways that they would be able to apply the skills and techniques to their specific organizations and countries.
The workshop culminated with the Fourth annual Prague Pride parade. Ann was able to participate in the festivities, alongside the US Embassy, representing HRC at the largest pride event in Eastern Europe.
Through workshops like this, HRC is able to share its work and strengthen the LGBT movement internationally.

Cheap, cheap, cheap!
Yep, I'm cheap. Finally got to the store to buy another envelope to mail this month's blocks. Office Max charges $2.69 per document size lightweight cardboard envelope.
What do you mail blocks in? Is there a bulk buy of something that works well that anyone knows about? I figured I'd get multiples since I'm starting to do this regularly, but don't even know what's a good mailer for these large blocks.
All suggestions invited, especially from those who receive blocks and know what is the safest way to send.
I usually just use a 6x9 envelope - not padded. What about checking at a dollar store? They often sell greeting card envelopes that are left over - and they are usually larger - packs of about 25 bundled together. I fold my blocks and wrap them in plastic wrap or a baggie before putting them in the envelope. I think they have always arrived safely.
Most lotto blocks are received in unpadded 6x9s, and all arrive OK. Large greeting cards work fine too but don't get one so large you have to pay extra postage. Square envelopes, for some reason, cost more. I'm sure it has to do with post office processing equipment.

Italian coalition parties clash over gay families
Post your comment

Well I am keen to make a novena to Our Lady of Loretto for the success of the vote for gay marriage in Italy. I am sure she will answer our prayers to protect her gay sons and daughters.
Good news – my novena worked for this stage, but a log way to go yet.
As I understand an agreement was reached between the vatican and the Italian Government decades ago that the vatican would be a separate state within Italy provided that they (the vatican) stayed out of that countries political system. Any ruling passed by Brussels does not apply to the vatican as they are not in the European Community.
We have gay marriage in Massachusetts, USA the World hasn't ended. Check out our trailer on Gay Marriage. Produced to educate defuse the controversy it has a way of opening closed minds creates an interesting spin on the issue: http://www.OUTTAKEonline.com

GOP Voters Look Ahead to Future Nominees
September 4, 2008 - 10:28 AMThe speaking roster on night three of the Republican National Convention is seen by some delegates here as an audition for the 2012 or 2016 Republican primaries.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Sen. John McCain's vice presidential nominee, introduced herself to most of the nation Wednesday, while former GOP presidential candidates Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani all addressed the convention as well.
The next Republican presidential nominee will, of course, depend on circumstances – especially who wins the presidential race in November. But some convention-goers here already have an idea who it should be in four to eight years.
"If McCain-Palin win, Palin can be a contender to be the first woman president," Norman Adams, a delegate from Houston, Texas, told CNSNews.com. "I was a Huckabee supporter. But I don't think Huckabee could pull the votes she could pull. She's got youth. She's a female and she's a mom."
Huckabee, who won the Iowa caucus and several southern states during the 2008 Republican primary, has been a favorite among social conservatives for his opposition to abortion and homosexual marriage, but he dismayed some fiscal conservatives with the tax increases he signed while he was governor of Arkansas.
Speaking at the convention, Huckabee sounded a popular, Republican small-government theme. "I'm not a Republican because I grew up rich, but because I didn't want to spend the rest of my life poor, waiting for the government to rescue me," Huckabee said.
Huckabee, who started HuckPAC to raise money for other Republican candidates, is scheduled to speak Thursday to a gathering of the Maryland Republican delegation.
Adams said Palin's standing could change if the Republicans lose this year, but he believes she is still a strong candidate for the future.
"When Geraldine Ferraro (the 1984 Democratic vice presidential nominee) lost, she never came back. But this is different. Palin has the youth," he said.
Less than two years into her first term, Palin was elected as a reform candidate, beating an incumbent Alaska Republican governor in the primary and a two-term former Democratic Alaska governor in the general election. With an 80 percent approval rating in her state, she is a favorite of both independents and social conservatives, and she got a rock star reception from the GOP convention audience Wednesday.
However, some Democrats (and Republicans) have raised questions about whether she's experienced enough to serve as vice president.
Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) believes Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, could be the next Republican presidential nominee.
"Mitt Romney has certainly put himself in a great place for the future," Flake told CNSNews.com. "After John McCain serves eight years, it will be open for Mitt Romney. He is in a great spot."
Romney – popular among many fiscal conservatives for his business experience -- scored victories mostly in Western states during the Republican primary season. Though he positioned himself as a conservative during the presidential race, he was unable to outrun his record of supporting abortion, homosexual rights and opposition to Second Amendment rights.
"Liberals would replace opportunity with dependency on government largesse," Romney told the convention hall on Wednesday. "They would grow government and raise taxes to put more people on Medicaid, to work requirements out of welfare, and to grow the ranks of those who pay no taxes at all. Dependency is death to initiative, risk-taking and opportunity."
Romney, who formed a Strong America PAC to help fund Republican candidates, is scheduled to speak to a gathering of the Ohio GOP delegation in St. Paul Thursday.
It's either Palin or Romney as the successor to McCain, predicts Lane Watts, a delegate from Fayetteville, Ga.
"The future of the party is Sarah Palin, and the opposition realizes that too," Watts told CNSNews.com. "That's why they are digging up stuff on her. I was a Mitt Romney supporter in the Georgia primary. He is high up on the list for 2012."
Meanwhile, Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who was widely praised for his leadership after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, delivered a blistering attack on Obama to rouse the crowd. He also articulated praise for the party.
"We began as a party dedicated to freeing people from slavery," Giuliani said. "We are still the party that is willing to fight for freedom at home and around the world. We are the party that wants to expand individual freedom and economic freedom."
Giuliani was a strong front runner for months, and had a solid fiscal conservative record while serving as mayor. However, Giuliani got little traction with social conservatives, given his support of abortion, gun control and homosexual rights.
Giuliani may continue to have influence in the party, but not as a successful presidential candidate, Texas delegate Steve Thompson said
"He didn't get a lot of votes," Thompson told CNSNews.com. "That's despite the fact that he had a lot of support from the mainstream media who all said it was going to be Giuliani vs. Hillary."
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford could be a dark horse candidate in four to eight years, said former House Majority Leader Richard Armey.
"It is probably someone you or I aren't thinking about, maybe the current governor of South Carolina," Armey told CNSNews.com. "There are a lot of people who will make their mark on American politics between now and then."
In past elections, the runner up from a previous cycle frequently manages to win the nomination. Ronald Reagan, who lost his challenge to President Gerald Ford for the Republican nomination in 1976, won the presidency in 1980. Bob Dole won the party's nomination in 1996 after three bids for the GOP nod. McCain captured the nomination in 2008 after being the runner up against George W. Bush in 2000.
Tony Blankley, former White House aide to Reagan and later former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, said it's not that easy.
"We never had the sense that Reagan was given the presidency. We had to fight like dogs," Blankley said. "McCain was not given the nomination by party elders. He benefited from the lack of a strong conservative in a five-way race. … It's a weird history that the guy who runs before always gets it, but I don't think they got it by gift. I think they've got to fight for it."
If McCain wins, Palin is the likely successor for the nomination in eight years, Blankley said. However, it is more of a toss-up if Obama wins this year.
"It could be a huge brawl in the Republican Party about where the future goes," Blankley said. "Romney would have the Chamber of Commerce, free market voters. Huckabee and Palin would be in a dog fight for the social conservatives. There may be others. I don't know if any of them would be a dominant or predictable winner."

7. Metamorphosis
Elves came to the Gardens near to my home, I realized, still only to look on me, to look in amazement at one to whom had been granted the Gift of Iluvatar. But they began to approach me more closely, spoke to me quietly and with honor and respect, laid their offerings of flowers directly into my hands. When I walked into the city they greeted me in the manner in which they greeted one another, but looked after me with the gaze they usually gave to one of the Maiar.
One thing only that there was missing from my house--a mirror. I'd never wondered on that, as odd as that might seem to others. Now and then I'd realize my hair had grown to lengths that were odd for a Hobbit, and then I'd request Olórin to cut it for me, a request he seemed to feel unnecessary but which he indulged. I brushed my hair daily on head and feet, bathed daily in the pool, trimmed my nails.
But the fact that I was not aging as would be expected at home escaped me, for I had no way of seeing this. The fact that I was trimming my nails less and less frequently lost itself on me. That at night I rarely needed to light a lamp I failed to note. That I often sang but now rarely spoke I did not comprehend. Perhaps that was understandable--before I left Middle Earth, when I'd begun to fade, I had found myself speaking less and less as I completed the Red Book, answered only in monosyllables or the simplest of communications. It had taken a great deal out of me, the night I entertained Merry and Pippin's parents, to talk as much as I did, as that night alone I probably spoke more than I had spoken in months.
One night I was wandering around the perimeter of the island. How I came to such a project I cannot say, only that the fit had struck me, and as I had no other activity planned or in action at the time I simply opened up my door and set off, first north to the shore and then west toward the far side of the island from the city.
The shore rose at one point, and then I found myself at the top of a bluff looking down into a small bay, and I realized that there was a reflection below of a light from apparently over where I stood. I looked up in wonder, for it was the dark of the Moon; but I saw no star of especial brightness standing over me. I looked down with curiosity at the reflection in the water of the splendor, then searched for a way down the bluff to the narrow beach I could see below, thinking to find a home cut perhaps into the face of the rock. But when at last I made the shore I saw no light from the steep slope above me, and when I approached the water's side and looked down into it, I realized that the glow started at my own feet.
I stood there in amazement and, I think, some shock through the remainder of the night, and just ere dawn two Maiar came to me, stood by me and comforted me until Olórin arrived and embraced me, drew me away, took me back to my house. He stayed with me for some hours until Galadriel, Elrond, Celebrían, and Livwen arrived, at which time I found myself looking from one to the next, wordlessly seeking answers.
The Lord Elrond finally spoke, his voice low and gentle. "You know the prophecy made by Olórin when you lay in recovery from the Morgul wound in Rivendell--that he saw you becoming as a clear vessel filled with light as with water?"
I nodded, dumbly.
"It has been continuing to happen, Iorhael, since that day--the becoming. I thought you realized it the day aboard the Ship, when on entering the salon of the windows you ran forward and buried your face in Mithrandir's lap. Certainly your words at the time, of your flesh becoming insubstantial, of the feeling you were somehow losing yourself, made it sound as if you were aware of the change in progress--although the words could also have indicated the realization of how close to death you were at the time, I suppose."
I was able to bring out three words: "Did Bilbo know?"
Again it was Elrond who answered, "Yes, how could he have missed it? Why did you think he labored so hard to remain awake, Iorhael, awake for so long? He wished to rejoice in your increasingly revealed Light as much as possible before he left you, and he wished for your physical body to be relieved ere he went on."
"Yes," Olórin said, "rejoice. He rejoiced to see your Light being revealed clearly. He first saw it in you when you were but a child, saw it beginning to be extinguished by the overprotection lavished on you by your Brandybuck relatives, saw its flame stop wavering as you found your place in Bag End and Hobbiton.
"Sam saw it in you frequently, as did Aragorn and Arwen and Elrond and Galadriel and Legolas. We all saw it clearly, while others simply recognized you drew them to you, drew out the best in themselves, and they felt themselves blessed simply to be able to stand by you and assist you as they could."
"Why me?"
"Ringbearer," Galadriel said with great tenderness, "did you truly think you were unworthy of the trust put in you by the Powers, by the Valar, by Eru Himself? You have spoken often of being scoured by Fire, by the dark Fire of the Enemy and the cleansing Fires of the Valar. Did you not realize that the Light of Anor came as much from within as from without?"
"How long?"
Livwen understood the meaning of my question. "My vision was drawn first to you on your arrival by the Light of you, Iorhael. I was there on the quay, awaiting my father's bark, when the Grey Ship arrived, and I could see a great glory over it from the company of those who were filling the decks. But the Light of Olórin was that of a Maia, and with him was a far different Light such as I'd never seen before, what I now believe to be the Light granted to those of the mortal Children of Iluvatar, which is of a different sort than that given to us. I could see a dimmer reflection of that Light in your kinsman, and the night he left you many of us kept vigil outside your house, watching, watching two lights suddenly shine through the walls of your dwelling, and draw away, then the one went on till we could see it no more, and one returned and became more obscured again.
"Always that Light has surrounded you, and has become more obvious since you went to the fanes for healing, when some of the Valar came to you there. Your body is drawing back, and your Light is shining forth more and more over time. And it draws us to you. Now that we see more of the Light it is becoming easier for many of our people to approach you, for you are more similar to the Maiar now, although distinctly different at the same time."
I closed my eyes. "Sam."
Olórin's glory caressed my shoulder. "Oh, do not worry for Sam. He will know you, may not realize you have changed, even. He has long seen the truth of you.
"You understand what the Morgul knife was intended to do?" I nodded, but with reserve. "It was intended to extinguish the Light of your mortal spirit, to convert it to the Dark Fire, to draw you out of proper mortal life and plunge you into the darker regions of the spirit world, but still tied to Arda and most particularly to the regions of Middle Earth under the domination of Sauron. But the Enemy could not create this process any more than he could create life. He could only pervert."
Elrond drew a deep breath as the others looked to him to continue the narrative. "You have been drawn lately to seek out my Father's Light in the Heavens, Iorhael. You have been seen frequently watching for it in the evenings." Again, I nodded. "What is not written down in the stories of Eärendil is that before he set sail to Eldemar he had begun to change, as you have. Always that glow was in him, but it was beginning to be visible. The acceptance of the quest to obtain the aid of the Valar in battling Morgoth quickened the process, and when our mother brought to him the Silmaril to bear with him, he became almost totally a Being of Light. His mortal nature was burnt away from him almost completely before he reached the Undying Lands, and that is why he could not return, more than the fact that he'd dared, one with mortal blood, to enter the most holy of the places intended for those who are immortal.
"Subjection to the Ring has led to the Light of Anor being made plain within those of you who have borne it. Neither Bilbo nor you--nor Sam--did any evil to come into possession of it. None of you used it for evil purposes."
I interrupted, "I cursed Gollum."
"Did you say to him, 'You will now go leap into the Cracks of Doom?' Did you on a whim say, 'Sméagol, you must leap off the precipice?' When he sought to swear upon it, did you not warn him it would twist his words?"
I considered these questions. "I said, 'If....'"
Galadriel nodded. "Always you warned him, Ringbearer. You saw the nature of the Burden, and you told him clearly. And he knew it, too. He knew that by swearing by it he was opening himself to its influence to be perverted by it once more. He knew that the Ring had not forgiven him for refusing to take it out of the obscurity of his cavern, that it would seek to utterly destroy him ere the end in punishment, to pervert the last vestiges of his integrity, little as it was, before it drove him to his final destruction.
"Did you desire for Sméagol to cast himself into the Fire?"
"No, and yet, yes."
"Iorhael," Celebrían said gently, "you yet gave him warning, and it was the vision you saw from the will of the Ring which you warned him of. You did not say, 'I have decided that I will command the Ring to make you fall into the Fire if you touch me again'--you instead told him only that this was what would happen if he touched you again. You warned him of the plans the Ring had already formulated for him. It was Iluvatar who gave him the endurance to take It from you first. And, in the end, the decision to test the warning was solely his. Did you wish him to touch you again to see the curse fulfilled?"
I shook my head.
"Ringbearer," Galadriel said solemnly, "Iluvatar delights in all the Light He has put into this world, and does not willingly allow any of it to be extinguished. Where the Light that shines in the souls of Mortals goes when the bodies are cast off, we do not know, for our own Lights are tied to this Creation. And such is the Light you have been gifted with that He would be most grieved to lose it. And so He sent one in whom the Light had been all but totally darkened to save you from the Darkness. And I suspect that in his fall, the creature Sméagol, for saving your Light, may have found a bit of his own back.
"This is part of the reason that the mortal Ringbearers have been given this grace, to enter for a time the Undying Lands, even if you may not leave the bounds of Tol Earessëa--that your Light may not waver with the fading of your physical forms, that it may be at its brightest once it leaves the bounds of Arda to enter that place prepared for you."
I took a long, almost shuddering breath. "Am I fading once more?"
They looked to one another, then all turned to Olórin.
"In one way you are, Child of Iluvatar--your physical form is, as you foresaw on the Ship, becoming more insubstantial. But your ability to remain within Arda and the strength of your spirit, which holds your Light, is not fading at all, but is strengthening over time. The Ring sought to destroy your ties to your own spirit, and the Morgul wound sought to pervert and enslave it. But instead your mortality is being cleansed away without the loss of you--until you are indeed ready to go on.
"Sam, too, contains a unique Light, a Light close familiarity with the Ring has in part freed to be seen by others and to increase in awareness over time. The same was true of Bilbo, although his mortality was stronger than yours and served more to obscure it from the eyes of all but the most discerning toward the end, although as Livwen has told you it could be seen, and his leaving clearly seen, by very many here. By the time he arrives I suspect Samwise Gamgee will be almost as much a being of Light as yourself, although still more closely tied to his mortal frame as Bilbo was."
"Not a wraith, but not--" Words failed me completely.
"Not corporeal, either," Olorin agreed.
"How long?" I asked at last, with a different meaning this time.
Olórin looked on me with tenderness. "We do not know."
"Please--a mirror?"
And so I have begun to write this while I can. I can speak little, but my mind still moves in the ways of words, and I wish that when Sam comes he may realize what has happened to me, that this is not necessarily of my own choice but is something I have simply come to, apparently of necessity.
I do not know if there will be any body at all left when he arrives. I hope there is some--I want so to grasp his hand at least once more. And I'd like to at least speak his name again. My Sam.

Will Wonder Woman be able to stand to-to-toe with her male cohorts? If this latest description of her abilities are any indication, shes way more badass than these guys.
There's been a lot of talk about Gal Gadot's body, with regards to how it compares to that of Wonder Woman's, the character she will soon embody of in a slew of DC films set to hit theaters over the course of the next four years. That said, Gadot recently shared her thoughts on one of the many concerns fans have expressed about her anatomy, the fact that her boobs have been said to be too small to appropriately replicate her superhero character.
DC Comics has created some of the most iconic superheroes of all time, no doubt, with characters like The Flash, Green Lantern, Black Canary and of course Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. However, they still have some room for improvement, according to this 11-year old girl, who thinks she has the answer to their looming problem.
Wonder Woman was among the many movies DC movies announced in October, and the film already has a director in place, but the films release isnt as set in stone as we originally thought.
When Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman arrives on the screen in Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it will be a fairly monumental moment. One can imagine that it will be set up as a pretty exciting moment for the audience in the grand spectrum of the film, but can you imagine what it was like actually see Wonder Woman on the set?
Warner Bros. and DC have allegedly hired six writers to write six different versions of Wonder Woman. Stupid? Or inspired?
Back in late October, it was reported that Warner Bros. was looking for a female director to helm their upcoming solo superhero film Wonder Woman - and today it looks like they have made their choice. New reports are surfacing saying that the producer/director Michelle MacLaren is now in negotiations with Warner Bros. to helm the Gal Gadot-starring film.
Any director contemplating the solo Wonder Woman movie has to deal with a handful of unknowns at the moment. They havent see Gal Gadot in action. They dont know, fully, how the character will be introduced in Zack Snyders Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. And they dont know how the movie landscape will change between now and 2017.
DC Comics and Warner Bros. has finally started to get their cinematic universe off the ground, but even so, there was a long time when nothing was being done on building a connective world with these iconic superheroes. Heres the reason for the delay.
In 2017, the Wonder Woman movie should prove to be a rather major event. Starring Gal Gadot in the titular role, the solo film will be the first live-action feature about the legendary comic book character, and the movie should play a huge role in further establishing the growing DC Cinematic Universe. But what can we actually expect to see unfold plot-wise?
DC is said to be seeking a female helmer for Wonder Woman. Should they follow through on this, that would make whoever lands the gig a major part of superhero movie history. To date there have only been two women who've been entrusted with superhero adaptations.
Lynda Carter still stands as the de facto representation of the warrior princess, even though it has been roughly 35 years since the actress last portrayed Wonder Woman in any function of note. So its to Carter we turn when we wonder how Wonder Woman should be portrayed on screen in the developing DC universe, and the actress has some great thoughts.
When will we finally get a Wonder Woman movie? The infamous Amazonian will be introduced in Snyders movie when it reaches theaters on May 6, 2016.
This past summers San Diego Comic-Con was a rather disappointing one for comic book movie fans. While many including myself had incredibly high expectations of big reveals, we were actually left learning very little big news. This past week, however, has been what I expected Comic-Con to be.
DC has a unique opportunity to define a new chapter of Wonder Woman's legacy with this 2017 movie. With the right director, DC could craft something spectacular and iconic with Wonder Woman. But who'd be up to the task of taking on a superheroine movie that even Joss Whedon found tricky? Here are five filmmakers who could do Wonder Woman justice.
Zack Snyders Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has spent most of its time filming out in the Midwest, targeting cities like Detroit and Chicago, but the production has apparently been putting together something gigantic in the middle of the New Mexico desert.
After months of waiting, Warner Bros. and DC Comics finally gave fans what they were asking for: the planned live-action DC films. Starting with Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, WB will release 10 DC films between 2016 and 2020. From solo films like Wonder Woman and Aquaman to ensemble films like Suicide Squad and Justice League Part One and Two theres a lot to take in, but weve got you covered! Heres everything we know so far about DCs films.
Could the DC Cinematic Continuum finally have its act together? Something tells us the middle road houses the actual truth, as we've picked three winners and three losers from today's news blast.
While Marvel hunkers down for a Civil War, Warner Bros and DC just answered by laying out their complete movie plan through 2020 including standalone films for The Flash, Aquaman and multiple Justice League movies.
Should humor be banned, completely, from DCs pending movies? Absolutely not. Its OK to strike a serious tone with your characters (and somber Batman basically demands it). But some of the characters on the planned DC slate need levity and a lightheartedness if audiences are going to swallow their comic-booky exploits.
Marvel Studios certainly has a jump start on the DC when it comes to building a cinematic universe, having been establishing itself as a brand since 2008, but dont count the home of Batman and Superman out. In addition to having the big blockbuster Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice scheduled to hit theaters in 2016, they have huge active plans for the entire rest of the decade. And this week we got a very limited peak into exactly what they have in the works.
With dates for nine untitled films being announced this week, DC Comics has sparked the speculative fires at any and every movie site in town. If you're tired of Marvel running the show, and want to see some competition, continue reading on!
A rumor began circulating this summer claiming that the companies have seven titles currently in the works, including Justice League, Wonder Woman and Flash and Green Latnern projects. Its hard to say exactly how much of that information was accurate in terms of naming in-development projects, but one thing is definitely for sure: there are a lot of DC Comics movies set to be unveiled over the next few years.
Or maybe it's something more. If Warner Bros. is serious about establishing their own superhero universe, they'll have to have a lynchpin, and it need not be one character. Batman and Superman are clearly the most visible heroes in DC's cinematic world thus far, but in the comics they hold down the foundations of the superhero world alongside Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman's new costume was unveiled at Comic Con today, and the fans went nuts. After the initial reaction, however, there's bound to be a lot of people wondering what happened to their favorite hero's color scheme of red, blue, and gold? Read on for an interesting theory that might answer your questions.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

aah...I missed this one due to business reasons...and knowing the result after is really no fun while playing through the finished game...looks like the usual Berlin stuff with a sure draw.With a point down, I expect K to press for the win in the next game with white.
for a fleeting moment today i thought he was going to play the Scotch! haha!
It looks like Aronian is better prepared than K for these games...maybe more motivated? Both Carlsen and Anand are surely following these games, for different reasons...not overly impressed with these games so far, but still early I guess.
Well K only plays with white on two more occations...so it looks like Tuesday will be do or die for him...Aronian only has to draw the rest to win this match. My prediction for Tuesday will be K surprises everyone with 1.e4 or the English...he has to get Aronian away from his preparations...
Crazy game to my inexperienced eyes.
What are the moves for 15? Nb4, Nd4, or Qc3 (winning pawn and bishop if he takes the knight?).
Does the queen move lose to Nd5?
I just woke up and I see that Aronian is missing a queen!? I must get some coffee to understand what's going on
Did he play it to next remove whites bishop and have an unchallenged bishop pair on a very open board?
This is a very interesting position at move 15! I'm glad I didn't sleep too late. Houdini evaluates the position as slightly favoring Kramnik, but it looks like a great game to follow
Probably proving why I'm not any good at chess, I like Aronian to win this game, even though Kramnik is up a pawn.
Wow! What a game this is! After 18 moves it's a R+Q for white vs a R+B+B+N for black!
With each player having to complete 18 moves in about 25min, this is going to get crazier than it already is!
Hopefully it doesn't end with a rediculous blunder in a time crunch.
Aronian down to six minutes...
Levon is failing in clock management, unbelievable!
Houdini is evaluating the position at move 42, as +7.13!
Wow! What a game! Kramnik wins and now the score is tied, 1.5- 1.5! Tomorrow is game four of this very exciting match, and Aronian has the white pieces
that was alot better than the first two, really enjoyed it!
Frankly, I'm most impressed at Lev having the guts to give up his queen in a tough position. He really played that well until he got caught by the clock.
Just a quick reminder: Barcelona is playing Chelsea in the second game of the Champion's League semi-finals in a few minutes!
Wow, I actually almost forgot that. To think of all the excitement of BBC text updates I might have missed...

COLUMBIA - A bill dubbed by senators Tuesday as "Peanut's Law" aims to slow down drivers in highway construction zones across South Carolina by increasing penalties and state troopers' presence.
Supporters told a Senate panel the measure is essential to the safety of drivers and workers in the inherently dangerous areas. The bill creates the crime of endangering a highway worker for anyone speeding or ignoring traffic signs inside construction or utility work zones. Half of the increased fines would go to the Department of Public Safety to fund troopers at the sites.
Elizabeth Ward of Georgetown told senators the driver who killed her 22-year-old son last August along Highway 41 in Williamsburg County received just two tickets totaling $300, for driving too fast for conditions and improper braking. Kenneth Long Jr. died in his third week on the job as a flag operator, she said.
"He took my son's life. That is not enough for what he did," Ward said in tearful testimony about her only child. "He had 1,500 feet to hit his brakes and he didn't. He left the road and my son ran for his life."
Ward, as well as Long's grandmother and aunt, wore neon shirts honoring Long that included his nickname, Peanut. His sister also testified.
Sen. Greg Hembree, the subcommittee's chairman, told Long's family he hopes naming the Peanut's Law bill provides some consolation.
"His death doesn't have to go for nothing. Because of this horrible thing that happened - this avoidable, senseless thing that caused him to lose his life - there will be other people whose lives will be saved," said Hembree, R-North Myrtle Beach, a former solicitor. "He will be the face of this idea."
The current fine for speeding in a work zone is $75 to $200 and up to 30 days in jail.
As written, the bill would increase that to between $250 and $400 if no one's injured, and $1,000 if injury results. But senators discussed amending the bill to increase penalties.
The crux of the bill is providing a funding source for more troopers. Just having a patrol car or two visible in work zones will make them safer, as seeing blue lights causes drivers to slow down, said highway safety consultant Earl Capps of Indian Land.
He contends designated troopers could pay for themselves by writing three or four tickets a day.
"This is providing a mechanism to let offenders pay," Capps said. "The fine isn't the deterrent. It's the actual presence of law enforcement. It's the visual appearance that you'll be pulled."
Currently, 790 troopers work on South Carolina's highways, down from the 2008 high of 967, before the economic downturn forced deep budget slashes in law enforcement.
About 20 of the troopers are assigned to a team that patrols work zones, according to the Department of Highway Patrol.
The panel postponed voting on the bill, so senators could get a cost estimate. Hembree said he worried half of the increased fines wouldn't be enough to provide enough troopers for work sites statewide. Another option could be to require companies bidding on a construction contract to include the cost of providing troopers at the site, he said.
"The key is to get more troopers out there," he said. "The cost would go up. However, it would be fair for everybody. Everyone who bid would have to consider that cost."

I program a lot of Perl in Vim. Often I just hack together some CGI script and put the CSS right into the program code. So lately I asked myself if it was possible, to put some Vim-specific comments around such blocks in my code, so that vim highlights the specific area not as a Perl script, but as a cascading stylesheet.
This also would be neat when working with Mojolicious where you can embed entire templates just into the DATA-area but lose all the highlighting of the HTML then.
Of course, I could switch manually between the filetypes/highlighting. But I wonder if there is better way.
Thanks, Sven

Legal notices are being published in the Eldorado hometown paper, addressed to "all unknown parents, and any person claiming to be a parent of, any one or more of the children removed from the YFZ Ranch."
The notices, filed by attorneys for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, announces the petitions for hundreds of children taken from the Fundamentalist LDS Church's Texas ranch.
"You have been sued. You may employ an attorney. If you or your attorney do not file a written answer with the clerk who issued this citation by 10:00 a.m. on the Monday next following the expiration of twenty (20) days after you were served this citation and petition, a default judgment may be taken against you."
The legal notices are being published in the Eldorado Success, the town's weekly newspaper, in anticipation of Thursday's court hearing that will determine whether the children will be placed in foster care or returned to their parents. Newspaper publication is another method of serving court papers when someone cannot be located to be personally served.
The notices name all of the children that have been identified by Texas child welfare workers.
"Baby girl Jessop, a child." "Freddie, a child." "Naomi, a child." Some of them are simply listed as "in the interest of 330 children from the YFZ Ranch" or "in the interest of 16 children from the YFZ Ranch."
A separate notice published in the newspaper, names the parents they know of and lists their birth dates. It's a long list of Barlows, Allreds, Jessops, Johnsons, Mussers, Nielsens, Steeds, and Jeffs, etc.
Each lawsuit requests emergency protection of a child.
"The Court has authority in this suit to render any order, judgment or decree in the children's interest that will be binding on you, including the termination of the parent-child relationship, a determination of maternity for each child, a determination of paternity for each child, and appointment of a conservator with authority to consent to each child's adoption," the notice reads.
The upcoming custody battle for the FLDS children could be massive.
Already, Texas officials have said it is the biggest child welfare case they have ever had to deal with. Each of the children must have an attorney. More than a hundred Texas family law attorneys have already been drafted or volunteered to help out.
Many with experience dealing with the FLDS Church and its unique culture have been offering assistance to Texas authorities.
"We're doing education on how to work with the culture," said Shannon Price with the Diversity Foundation, which helps children leaving the polygamous communities.
Price said she has encouraged child welfare workers to be as respectful of the FLDS people as much as possible.
"Have a midwife come in to deal with medical issues. If they need to wash out their garments, don't observe it because they're sacred. If they want to have a Sunday meeting, let them do it in private," she advised.
Price said she believes Texas authorities are sincere in not focusing on polygamy, but instead on purported child abuse.
"It's kind of a no-win situation for the government in many ways. Anything the government does, they put their toe on the property and it's vilifying the community," she told the Deseret News in a recent interview. "The only people I've heard say you're prosecuting polygamy is from polygamous families."
In a statement posted Friday on its Web site, Texas child protective services said no children will be placed in foster care until after Thursday's hearing."A number of state agencies are working together to make all the children as comfortable as possible, and to meet all their physical, medical and psychology needs while they are in San Angelo," the statement said.
