Just finished reading the story, loved that whole situation with Elrond, Vilya and the ONE, so damn awesome and I also wanted to mention the beautiful sensual and mischievious relationship going on with Aragorn and Arwen. It was such a breath of fresh air to see these two barely be able to keep their hands off each other. And Legolas, Legolas, Legolas, what a sweetheart, so young and so easily swayed.
Author's Response:
How very lovely to get this review, Gabriel- thank you for seeing the Aragorn/Arwen thing going on as very few peope mention that and I really enjoyed writing a rather frustrated Arwen with a romantic Aragorn. He's going to have a bit of shock when she arrives in MT and expects him to stop worshipping her and become a proper husband- but I htink she is wise and clever and will sort everything out to her satisfaction.
Yes- Legolas. Love him so much in this!! Thank you as well for noticing the Rings- I think Tolkien created something wonderful and never got round to really explorin them because he ditched the One rather quickly:) I've got plans for Vilya;D

I've just read the scenes with Galadriel and her mirror and have got to say, the images while reading were fantastic, in fact the whole picture you created of Lothlorien was just beautiful. I do love Elrohir and Elladan too, such wonderful characters.
Author's Response:
Thank you Gabriel! I rarely get comments on Galadriel so this is extra nice. I think she is far more interesting than she appears in LOTR- she came over the ice with Fingolfin, went to Doriath and learned under Melian, then founded a kingdom of her own and which she is clearly in charge of!
I absolutely love your Erestor, Glorfindel too and some of the things Erestor said had me in fits of laughter. Awesome story Ziggy!
Author's Response:
I love getting reviews for old fics- this has made my day, Gabriel! I am so happy to get a nice comment about Erestor- he just wrote himself to be honest! Hope you enjoy the rest of this:)
"So glad you are re-reading it Starfox- I had to go back as well because I couldn't remember. It was this:
Suddenly Elrohir turned to Gimli. 'At the least he must have left his post to do this!' he cried. 'Tell me, for how long did you let him out of your sight?'
Gimli frowned and walked slowly over to them, knowing that when dealing with Elves it was best to walk slowly, appear unthreatening whilst keeping your hand on your axe and your finger on your throwing knife. Just in case. 'Why are you asking?' he said carefully.
'This!' Elrohir reached down and snatched up the green fletched arrow from where Legolas had placed it and thrust it towards Gimli. 'This was in the heart of the Orc I left as a warning.' He turned back to Legolas. 'He left his post to shoot it!'
'I did not leave my post.' Legolas said from where he sat.
'You must have! No one could shoot that distance in the dark.' Elrohir poured out his scorn and anger. 'You must have left your post and taken it upon yourself to silence the Orc because it was disturbing you. Typical of Thranduil's folk. You could not kill your own but you can sneak off watch to put an arrow through an Orc.'
He found Legolas' arrow in the orc. He's so angry about that- been allowed ot roll on his journey of hate for so long he stopped seeing it."
No, I didn't mean this. I mean how does he know that Legolas couldn't deliver the milui-criss to Naurion? He didn't tell that to the council or to anybody. He only told them that the guards were slain or taken. So how does Elrohir know this?
Author's Response:
Ah- I see. I think he would have heard this in the gossip afterwards. Legolas will have had conversations outside the council- including to Gandalf, but also pillow talk with Berensul Gossip is rife in Imladris and it only takes a moment for something to slip out. Maybe I need ot slip something in to earlier chapters to make that clear- Berensul is simply not discrete or trustworthy- he is a spy for Erestor.
Just rereading the story and I wonder about one thing:
"Typical of Thranduil's folk. You could not kill your own but you can sneak off watch to put an arrow through an Orc."
How would Elrohir know that? Legolas didn't tell them about it. So, lucky guess on Elrohir's part or did I miss a conversation?
And yes, Elrohir behaves like an orc, at the moment there's nothing that makes him likeable. He is full of fury, contempt and hatred.

Damn it, it's Laersul. I had to come all the way back here to check on his hair colour....and here he is with hair the colour of gold coins.
How could you!
Author's Response:
No- seriously problematic - again, when I wrote this (In Deeper than Breathing- YEASR ago!) I didn't love LAersul and din't know him. Like Anglach. Although I am NOT giving away the actual plot here;)
Have just had to come back and read the last few chapters again. I am guilty of doing that a lot I know but when I first read this I had no idea who Tindomi
I am excited to read that future resolution between Elrohir and Elrond, but I can see how it would take more time to come about. Is Elrond going to be as accepting of Elrohir when he discovers the truth? I may have his muddled in my head, but wasn't Elladen a bit horrified by his brother at first? I could see Elrond as being a bit more accepting, not because he understands Elrohir better, but he does have greater experience with really messed up people :D
I am finally posting again! I should have something for you within the hour! Thank you for even being interest still, I know its been months, but it's exciting to hear people still want to read :hugs:
Author's Response:
You have hit the nail on the head with your comment about elrond -is he going to accept the truth about Elrohir... or perhaps more pertiniently, what does Elrohir THINK he will do/say/think?
Elladan was horrified at first when he found out about Elrohir's attraction to Legolas but that was also largely due to the fact that he discovered Elrohir had abused Legolas whilst he slept- it was when they awere aboard the SeaSong and Elrohir was healing Legolas, he pressed himself up against him - Elldan walked in and realisied what had happened. But the Laws and Customs do specify, as you know, that elves are het and that sex is within marriage and for making babies- that their desire lessens as they grow older...I can't be doing with that!!! I really agree with your last bit about Elrond being more accepting because he has more to do with messed up people- I htink Elrohir completely misunderstands Elrond- willifully I suspect. And I think too that he will find Elrond is far more accepting than he expected...it is more aobut Elrohir's perception of what is right and wrong and of course, his mother's- who is Galadriel's daughter...all very complex but lots of fun working out!!
Oh- I have already read BOTH chapters!! LOVE your work.x
I loved the letters Legolas sent home, especially the parts where he was asking his brothers not to tell their father lol! The family dynamic you created in their family was extraordinary and felt real enough to breath.
Legolas' not understanding why Aragron was uncomfortable and insisting he put on more clothing was hilarious. Dear, sweet Legolas!
I was so pleased with this last parting between Legolas and Elrohir. It would have been terrible if Elrohir had ended it in anger and violence (I kept fearing the tied would turn sour, but he held himself together :D ). What I found especially heart breaking was when Elrohir lifted his hand for Elrond and he saw how much that crumb of affection affect his father. I do hope, in the sequel, that their relationship can be mended before Elrond sails.
This was a lovely ending to an epic story. I apologize for not reading and reviewing before, but know I enjoyed it thoroughly despite my delay.
Author's Response:
No apology necessary Encairion- I'm just alwaya pleased when anyone reads anything and especially if they review/comment. I loved writing Thranduil's sons and will return to them at some point. I wanted it to come acorss very clearly that dynamic between siblings and parents that protects the parents from what the children are really doing- you know how some paretns say their children tell theme everything? Not true, parents shouldn't know everything. Equally the dynamic between Elrohir and Elrond is one of blame and guilt because by blaming others we dont have to face our own guilt. Elrohir is so confused, poor lamb! Glad you picked up on that one moment where he relents. I'll be coming back to that as well later as you wish- although I'm not sure it can be resolved as quickly as Elrond's sailing, it might take longer.
Anar pushed me to write a slight conciliation between Legolas and Elrohir - she wanted resolution in some way and I htink it works better for the other fics.
Thank you for reading and reviewing Encairion- and I do hope you will posting soon too?!
I had somehow missed the last chapter of this story! But what a lovely prequel for SOT. There is always such tension, such passion in your writing...
Author's Response:
So glad that it worked for you,Veveco espcially since you've given us that lovely pic of Elladan recenty.
Well, here's the thing. Readers are basically along for the ride, and although they are entitled to be white-knuckled and wide-eyed, they shouldn't distract the writer with screams of "Look out! Look out!" So I have to admit that I've been reading this all along, not wanting to review each chapter because, as a massive fan of SOT, all I've been thinking boiled down to, "Okay, okay, that scene might work, but don't screw it up now!!!"
It's HARD to write a prequel to something that readers already love, like SOT, because it involves changing what they have in THEIR heads, not just in the writer's mind (which may or may not be quite different from the writer's own vision.)
Anyway, so here we are at the end of this, and I have to say that MDLW has changed my view of SOT, but in a way that deepens my appreciation of that story, especially the backstory between Legolas (who I love more than ever, not least because of those last letters, lol) and Elrohir (who I am beginning to understand a little better, rather than just viewing him as the disturbed and disturbing gunslinger type that I did before.)
Even the things that I might have been dismayed about earlier, such as the introduction of some of the non-canonical characters, work really well because they are essential to whom Legolas and Elrohir are (and will become). For instance, I was delighted that Tind
I had left this to digest when I had the luxury of a whole evening to myself.
I love Legolas' letters home - there is still that air of innocence about them that is just right in this story.
The encounters with Elrohir, both Arwen's and Legolas' , were both so well written - the contrast between the two enhanced both of them.
And that last scene with Erestor made me grin - you know how I firmly believe in gambolling gambling elves!
Author's Response:
ooh- so sorry my dear wombat! I didn't get an alert that this had been posted I dont think so how lovely to see it now!!!
I enjoyed writing those letters- it was a bit of light relief and I wanted to remind everyone who Legolas had left behind and how they would feel. I am glad you enjoyed the gambling/gambolling!!
Thank you as always for your kind comments.
The end then, a great story, with moments of genious. I especially enjoyed the interraction with Glorfindel, Tindomion and Elrohir as they ride away, and was glad to see that Legolas earned his place of respect with them.
I do still find it hard to reconcile this Legolas with the one in SOT, although it is nothing a good dose of imagination will not cure.
Thank you for writing this, and then sharing it, you have brought hours of enjoyment to many people, and that is one of the hardest, and meritous things a human being can do.
Author's Response:
Thank you my dear. I liked writing Glorfindel and Tindomion- they just seem to express themselves quite easily- do yu know what i mean? And yes, I know Legolas is different in htis. Partly because the ring is undermining his confidence but also he feels a bit overwhlemed by Imldaris- he gets himself back once he is out in the wilds again. He feels much younger in this than in Sons I htink - it felt liek that writing it. But I htink it is because he is amongst elves rather than Men as he is in SOns- and also he has changed so much by travelling with the fellowship. Wait until the sequel of Sons, Alpha- I htink you will enjoy that in particualr. Lots of chickens coming home to roost!!
A great end to a great fic, Ziggy. I loved Legolas's letters - how little he tells Thranduil and what he reveals to the others (with the caution not to tell his father, of course!)
And I'd guessed that his night with Tindomion might cause friction with Elrohir when he found out, but I hadn't expected Elrohir to discern it quite so soon. But that would contribute to the antipathy that Elrohir feels towards Legolas at the start of Sons of Thunder.
I'm sad to see this fic end, but at least you've promised more to look forward to :)
Author's Response:
I'm so glad you enjoyed the letters, NAeldi. I just found them very sweet- and he is young in htis fic- because he is amongst the mighty elves of Imladris and feels so overwhlemed, poor love. Oh yeah- Elrohir certainly does know! And oh boy, what is going to happen when they all turn up in Minas Tirith for Aragorn's wedding - I htink I will need ot add to Confessions now- and make sure Legolas is thinknig about more than just Eomer when he thinks about telling Elrohir everything...but you know, Elrohir will never think he is good enough for Legolas....
Yes- starting Narmo this evening but it will be a while before there is anyhting to publish I htink. xx
I loved it. I loved how you threw in some Laesrul and Thalos; Legolas' letters to his family ("don't tell Adar", "Let Agalos out of the dungeon"); Elrohir (just about any and all Elrohir) and of course Legolas' cultural observations. Btw didn't Legolas sleep with Erestor already?
When is the next fic coming? I can't help being greedy...
Author's Response:
I am glad you liekd the touch of Laersul and Thalos - I really do like writing them and thinknig about them. I have ot go back and do a bit more of them soon. Pleased too that the humour worked- I'm always a bit nervous about that.
Erestor slept with Legolas in Narmo, which I tok out of this fic- it was an outtake and I will go back to Narmo, and it wont run exactly paralell with this I dont think because I'm not sure I can write without any Legolas in it! We'll see,
Lovely to have greedy readers! Thank you for the encouragemtn and reviews- it really does make such a difference- keeps me going.
There is so much to love about this chapter, Ziggy. There is a gathering sense of momentumn, but also that sense of ending of leavetaking. Here, however, we see far more of what is going on because of the different viewpoints.
Legolas' letters are so sweet, lol! He is so sweet. It's absolutely correct that he is the best person to go on this quest because he does not seek power, and desires what he can have.
Now we need to know what happened to Erestor, as it seems something terrible did!
Elrohir fills me with pity. He has such fierce needs and desires, but to him they seem wrong, which is understandable when it is all mixed in with his guilt about his mother.
I love the way that you write that Tind
I apologize for how late this review is. I've been out of town the last few days and didn't have a chance to read.
This chapter is wonderful, and I am still squealing over the fact you posted it for my b-day. Thank you so much :::hugs:::: you are amazing!!!
I really liked Elrond's reflections in this chapter, and just how poisonous the Ring really was in Imladris. It's not something I thought about before reading your story, but of course, it makes complete sense that the Ring would be working desperately to try and influence the minds of the whole valley. And Elrond's insistence that the Ring could not stay there is completely understandable in this new light. Who can really call him an ass for that when he was just doing his best to protect this people? He was not so arrogant as to think he could hold off the Ring's power indefinitely.
Another thing I liked about this chapter was Elrond's doubting of all the other ring holders, especially Galadriel. I think this doubt among the wise, their weaknesses, their lack of omnipotence and assurance in the end game is intense and realistic. There must have been a hundred doubts, and I love how you've really teased them out.
Legolas and Tindómion together was so sweet. Tindómion was just want Legolas needed before setting out on the quest. He needed the confidence Tindómion had in him.Thank you again so much for this. I loved it! Having you post was the best present imaginable, my dear :hugs:
Author's Response:
I love you for writing this now, Encairion- I am having a horrible day and this just made it get so much better. Thank you.
I am really glad that the Elrond scene worked- I did agonise about it and hten just went for it. Had ot cut loads out and saving them for Narmofinion. Yes- Tindomion is becoming one of my favourite characters thanks to Spiced's lovely depiction.
So pleased you liked the very smally b-gift- sorry it wasn't written especially but I did put all the extra slash in especially for you and I htought you'd perfer that!!
What a wonderful chapter. The violent attack of the One ring on Elrond and how it took Vilya and Gandalf to break its hold is a precursor of what the nine walkers will fight mentally as they try to take the ring to be destroyed. The psychological trauma is much more than the physical stimulus in the books.
And oh, the hotness between Legolas and Tindomion! I have come to love Tindomion's character. I am happy that you have him tell Legolas that he is a worthy warrior. Their night before they both leave will provide a lot of good memories in the coming days. It is too bad that Elrohir will probably not see it for what this night has truly brought both warriors. Legolas doesn't deserve to be punished by Elrohir's anger.
Author's Response:
I love it when reades enjoy the hotness! Tindomion is such a great character and I like linking my fics to others, so Spiced has written a spin off to Sons of Thunder and that meshing just makes it all so much more enjoyable. I am glad you like it too.
I have always thought the Ring was rather subdued in Rivendell in the book- surely it must have exerted an influence and I have as you know, had to just runnig a constantly undermining thumb over Legolas' sense of worth, and I thought that surely it must have lusted after Vilya, and Narya? Hence this bit with Elrond- and I am finding myself more and more intrigued by the rings- and speculating on Feanorian technology. It couldnt have just been silmarils and rings- there must have been something more. So I am quite enjoying exploring this- but I'll do more of that in Narmofinion after the next chapter of this finishes this bit of th tale.
Thank you for reviewing- it really makes my day!
Wonderful, Ziggy! It was a joy to see Legolas and Tindomion get together, but there was something poignant about it too - a sense of farewell. As other reviewers have said, though, I hope this doesn't cause problems between Legolas and Elrohir later on.
Can't wait for more!
Author's Response:
And as you have so clearly guesssed- it will! Lots of problems. Can't wait to write it!!
Glad it hit the right spot for you!
That was so hot I'm having a hard time breathing. Just sitting fanning myself...and all the wonderful compliments Legolas got - oh my! He deserves them. I'm dreading and anticipating Elrohir getting wind of this affair.
Author's Response:
OOh- good. I am really pleased it got you hot and bothered!
Yes-inevitably he will find out about it- either from Tindómion himself when they go off to Amon Sul or in the sequel he will just be able to tell, don't you think?
This chapter was perfect. Really. I loved it all.
Firstly Elrond. Oh yes, this is just as I imagine him myself. The sadness and conflicting feelings within him especially towards Aragorn. Elrond wishing him dead was shocking certainly but completely understandable to me and I think those feelings did not all originate from The Ring.
I love the way you write Galadriel too, kind of edgy and not all pureness and righteousness. She comes across as not completely trustworthy, not completely "good". and this makes sense to me.
I was pleased to see Elrond and Elrohir had a moment of connection and understanding here, if only because they were united in their mistrust of Galadriel. You have written them as having a tumultuous and conflicted relationship and so it felt as if it was good for both of them to share this.
And then to finish, Legolas and Tindomion. SO glad they got together, I was very disappointed when Elrohir interrupted them. What a perfect last night for Legolas in Imladris! It was beautiful and sensual, I knew they would go well together.
Good to hear someone such as Tindomion remind Legolas of his true worth.
I fear though this may cause some problems down the line. Elrohir obviously has a very special relationship with Tindomion, what will happen if he ever discovers this?? And would Legolas be able to resist Tindomion if they were to meet in the sequel to SOT? .....Oh Dear.
P.S. Really curious to know what happened in the incident at Esgaroth!
Author's Response:
Thank you Mithrellas. I agree with you entirely about Elrond- he would not be natural not to hope that something happens ot change things with Arwen; for any parent to lose a child, no matter their age, is unnatural and must be the very worst thing that can happen to you. How much more difficult that it is her choice!
Sequel- Tindómion? Oh yeah! Can't wait to write that!
Oh, Esgaroth...I'll probably drop a bit more in once I know what he did but he's being coy- I suspect it was getting caught in a clinch with perhaps more than one woman! If I write it, I'll dedicate it to you! You'll need to prod me because I have so many ideas and so little time.
Wow! That was magnificent. I love the way you write the sentience of the rings, their differences, and perhaps that they have powers Elrond does not know. It would be good to think that, and absolutely agree Celebrimbor would not want them to go to Aman. I will never get over my young, severe disappointment that in Lord of the Rings the Elves dwindled, sailed, left the world to Men. I found it anti-climactic and dull, and will never agree with it nor write it.
And then this battle:
A mighty wind rushed around the room, sweeping objects from tables. The glass jug smashed to the floor beside him and his half empty glass hurtled into a mirror and cracked loudly over the surface. Elrond struggled upright and lifted his arms, pouring out his own incipient Power to help Vilya wrestle the malignant Ash Nazg, but it writhed and poured around her, spinning its dark coils tighter and tighter about Vilya so she became one sharp blue spike of Power spiraling, shooting upwards. Elrond gathered himself, his hands filled with light and then he pulled back and shot Power like lightning into the spiral. The wind coiled upwards, tugging at him, his hair streamed in its wake, his feet felt they were no longer anchored to the earth and a terrible voice filled the air…
That's magnificent. You make the Rings more interesting than they are in the books, just as you make the people far more interesting.
…He was somewhere else, running this time along the sand beside a silver sea, the sand hard beneath his feet. He was running, and there was someone ahead… someone without whom he could not live, and he knew he might lose them until the Ending of the World… He ran harder, looking ahead, the wind streaming through his long hair and his eyes wide and searching, his mouth open to breathe for his lungs pumped hard…And then he saw a tall warrior, standing thigh deep in the water which lapped at him gently, and he stared unseeing into the distance, at something that Legolas could not see. The warrior's black hair was unbound, loose and it fell straight down his back, so long that it floated on the mercurial water. He turned slightly at the sound of Legolas' voice and their eyes met like lightning; Legolas was pierced by the hurt, proud gaze that wanted so badly to do right and believed that he could not. Legolas reached out with a terrified cry but it was too far and too late and the warrior walked forwards, deeper into the water and his long hair floated and the warrior closed his eyes and the water closed over him…
Oh! This took me straight back to Sons of Thunder and how traumatised I was!
The card game was so well done. I could feel the embarrassment of the young elf who lost and was impressed at how Legolas gracefully helped him through that moment.
Tindomion's grief is so palpable. I can imagine Legolas wanting to comfort him, yes in his own naughty yet fully heart felt and compassionate way. I smiled at so much of this. I really miss the fandom and your writing in particular. I'm so glad I popped on line and found this post was up. You describe Legolas wishing he could make himself stop talking yet continuing to babble, that is so him! I just have to tell you again for the millionth time how much I love your Legolas, and all your Elves. You just capture them perfectly. Your Erestor is so wicked. He's my favorite characterization of Erestor too.
Ziggy all of your ancient Elves carry an underlying grief and sorrow which would be unavoidable to beings of such intelligence and long life. They have a melancholy that belies the accumulated loss and tragedy of many human life times. Yet they have hope, they go on and they enjoy life's lighter moments when presented with them. I don't see this in Legolas. He's so young in spirit and at this point so carefree. I know I'm stating the obvious but your characters all touch me. You're wonderfully gifted but that's obvious too.
Author's Response:
Hey lisse! I have missed you- but probably because it has taken me so long to post anything- so busy at work that I have no time to relax. But I have two weeks now to get this story finished.
You write such lovely comments, lisse. It is Spiced I have to thank for Tindómion because she has written him so well in her work, I found him easy to write. And yes, dear Legolas- he really is such a sweetheart, he hates seeing anyone else unhappy and is very kind, and ok, he is bit naughty too- he can't resist it! But I like him a bit flawed as we've talked about before. I htink it makes characters more sympathetic and I want to read about them - I don't find perfection interesting because they aren't characters- just two dimensional.
Yes I love Erestor too, but he's going to be going through a rather hard time right now, but I'll pick that up again in Narmofinion.
You have picked up on the important reason for Legolas being chosen to go on the quest - his lightness and the fact that he doesn't really want anything. So the Ring hasn't got much to offer him... though of course it wil ltry. It tempts all of them of course. I may get to write that next bit but there's no way of working Elrohir in so I don't feel terribly motivated... but I like writing to fellowship...such a dilemma!
THank you as always for your lovely review, lisse. Glad to have entrtained you for a bit.
I enjoyed getting this closer look into Tindómion's mind here! I think what I found the most stirring was the ending of this chapter and the way, despite this connection Legolas seemed to be having with Tindómion, despite the desire and the glimpses of respect and honor Tindómion gave Legolas throughout the night, in the end they were strangers. Tindómion dismissed Legolas with ease, and picked Elrohir without a moment's hesitation, and without sparing Legolas more than a moment's thought really. I could feel Legolas' awkward embarrassment so sharply, and felt for him (as I am sure anyone who'd experienced a similar moment of intrusion upon a private moment can –which gives credit to your amazing writing skills). And yet, even though it was painful to read, Tindómion's dismissal of Legolas was the crowning jewel of this chapter. It had to go that way, because Tindómion was still Tindómion even if we saw deeper into his character. I commend you for writing that ending, even if we readers might have wished for a different one, even if it was a hard thing to put Legolas in that situation, to leave him feeling inadequate in Rivendell yet again (poor dear). But it was that very awkwardness in the ending that made it so authentic.
Another thing I really liked about this chapter was the interaction between the common soldiers. You write OCs so beautifully, and you have such a talent for banter, and just plain brilliant dialogue! I never get the sense that one of your OCs is just a 2-dimmentional fill in, I always feel like even the most lightly touched upon OCs have their own stories, and that lends a thrilling depth to your stories :D
Author's Response:
This is a really lovely comment to get, Encairion- thank you. Made my day.
I admit I wanted it to go better for Legolas but as you say, it had to end this way and he is acting true to character in that he just can't help himself. Originally I was going to use the scene from Narmofinion where Erestor comes across Legolas in the Hall of Fire because I want to link those two stories together and Narmo is Erestor's - but I thought Erestor would really not leave Elladan's side and I was having to do some quite elaborate back storytelling. Also I wanted to use Tindómion for Sian's birhtday and he just told me this is what happens...as character do (you know what I mean).But Elrohir wasn't having any of that and interupted!! Actually my wonderful beta said she thought it is too much for Elrohir but I also need some seeds for the sequel to Sons; after the ending, it really isn't going to be exactly smooth and I've set up Haldir AND Tindómion whereas before I only had Berensul who is a minor character, and Legolas' worship of Glorfindel and that isn't enough really.
Spiced's work shows Tindómion is intensely loyal to the twins and I really thought that if Elrohir needed him, he would put everything else to one side and Legolas is just a flirtation to him- nowhere near as important as his friends- I think most of us have experienced that at some point with a first date if you like- they aren't really important yet.
And it's of course the Ring that is having this negative effect on everyone- making Legolas feel inadequate. He hasn't quite sussed that bit out that the reason he was himself in the Wild is partly because that is where he is most comfortable but also because they are away from the Ring. I hope it is made really clear in the next chapter how much of a struggle it has been for Elrond having Ash NAzg in Imladris- because of course it would want hIM to wear it!
Thank you for that lovely comment about the card game. I'm got a warm fuzzy from that:D
Thanks for letting me know I am on the right track with Elrohir. Felt kind of wrong to psychoanalyse someone else's character in case that wasn't him at all but I got to the stage I HAD to try and understand him better!! It was the chapter in Lothlorien and the confrontation with Haldir that really got me thinking. I am glad to hear I didn't do him a complete disservice.
Joyous is the perfect word to describe Legolas's sexual freeness, I love it. Am kind of sad that part of him is going to have to disappear if he is to stay with Elrohir. I cant see Elrohir ever being able to cope with Legolas being truly himself that way!
Author's Response:
Well... I'm not entirely sure that Legolas CAN rein himself in completely but he is very loyal and I suspect the sex with Elrohir is utterly amazing! It may be that they both have to make compromises - but there will still be lots of flirting and stuff..if Isay too much I'll start telling you my ideas!
I never mind whether people get the same from anyhting I write as I do- it's all down to interpretation and there are some readers who tell me that Elrohir would NEVER act like this or that Legolas is like that and I havent been true to how I've written him in Sons- but what I am trying to hsow here is the effect of the Ring- it saps Legolas' confidence so when it leaves him alone (because it's got bigger fish to fry) he is overconfdent and his usual promiscuous and cocky self! And Haldir is a Bad Elf in my verse here so when Legola sgets to Lothlorien, he will be ...well, we'll have to see!!

Oscar Pistorius trial focuses on 'screams' during shooting
Pretoria: The murder trial of South African Paralympian Oscar Pistorius focused yesterday on whether neighbours could have heard his model girlfriend screaming on the night he allegedly shot her dead.
Oscar Pistorius
Prosecutors are trying to prove that Reeva Steenkamp did scream and that this showed the star athlete known as the "Blade Runner" knowingly gunned her down in a fit of anger.
State prosecutor Gerrie Nel attempted to show that tests conducted by engineer and acoustics expert Ivan Lin backed up the premeditated murder charge, arguing that neighbours who lived 177 metres (yards) from Pistorius could have been able to differentiate between a male and a female screaming.
Lin said on Monday that at 177 metres away "it is very unlikely a listener can hear a scream let alone interpret the sound source reliably".

"These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens, no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. . . .
See, I have placed before you an open door" (Revelation 3:7,8).
We stand before an open door. The Son of David opened the door to God's family and household with his life, death, and resurrection. It's a door standing open for sinners like us, a door thrown open by the grace and mercy of a God who found a way for sinful people to be with him, at his side, as members of his family.
It's a door that is opened not only for us. It's been opened for a world of sinners living in the darkness outside of God's family, with no hope and no future other than eternal darkness.
Our synod is comprised of nearly 400,000 people who have been brought through that door and into God's family. Because we know the truth of his gospel message and joy of God's forgiveness in Christ, we have gathered together as a synod to bring as many people as possible through that same doorway to God's household.
In this annual report, you will see examples of how God is enabling us to do just that, as we work together to strengthen congregations, train future church workers, and plant the seed of the gospel at home and around the world.
Thank you, Lord, for your grace.
May we continue to work together to seize the opportunities that God gives us as we carry out his mission to bring more people through that open door into his family.
Serving in Christ,
Rev. Mark Schroeder, WELS President

Walkthrough: Oklahoma City
EditWalkthrough: Oklahoma City
|Oklahoma City
|Las Vegas
|New Orleans
|Los Angeles
|Tiki Park
Each level consists of 3 objectives -- Amateur, Semi-Pro and the most elite of all -- Pro ( don't consider engaging this unless you really know your stuff). Each mode will award you with a predetermined number of points, 50, 100, and 150 points respectively. Complete the Amateur level to build up your "road trip" points and proceed to advance to any of the levels of your choice. Below is an outline of each location.
Amateur Level Objectives
Warehouse -- Hang a right from the start point until you reach a quarter pipe. Grind on it and on the adjacent wall, you¿ll find a red button. Activate this to unlock the warehouse door.
Gas Cans-- You¿ll need to collect 5 cans in total.
- Located at the first jump from the start point.
- Located on the quarter pipe found behind the Warehouse
- Located inside the Warehouse, on a quarter pipe which can be found easily when you enter the building.
- Located from the start point on a half-pipe to your right.
- Located in the pool area (to your left from the start point).
Acquiring the busy key-- You¿ll find this when you make the first jump from the start point located on a light post. Make a small jump to your right and grind the post to obtain the key.
Achieve 20,000 Points-- Self explanatory.
Semi-Pro Level Objectives
Knock the toolboxes over -- Time to create a little havoc. There are 5 toolboxes in total:
- Located on a quarter pipe on the wall found immediately when you enter.
- Located directly behind you to the right from the start point.
- Located towards the rear region of the building, found to your left.
- Located towards the rear region of the building, found to your right
- Located¿right on the ground (literally). You¿ll find this immediately when you enter the warehouse and hang a right.
Shift from Manual to Eggbeater -- (No, we¿re not talking recipes here). Execute a manual move, then press the Circle button while maintaining your balance.
Manual the Crooked Bench -- The bench can be found directly behind and below the start point in a tunnel. Jump on it and execute a manual from one end to the other.
Achieve 40,000 points -- You know what to do.
Pro Level Objectives
Set off Fire Alarms -- We know it¿s obvious, but don't try this at home (or your local neighborhoods, mmkay?) Similar to the other levels, you¿ll need to locate 5 fire alarms and turn them on. Their locations are outlined as the following:
- Located at the top of the quarter pipe found to the right of the entrance to the warehouse. Find the ramps and grind on the yellow rail.
- Located on the light fixture where you first found the bus key. Grind on it from beginning to end, then jump on the red rail and grind it.
- Located above the half pipe near the back of the warehouse on the left of the machine belt.
- Located on the quarter pipe (which you must ride on, found at the right of the warehouse entrance). Be sure that you¿ve lowered the ramp.
- Located to the left of the warehouse entrance. Get on the quarter pipe, located towards the green mechanical area. Ride towards the back of the warehouse, then turn around and get air off the green machine ramp. Execute a wall ride, then jump. When you land, grind on the wall to set off the alarm.
Achieve Perfect 360 Nothing over Gap One - Gap one is shown to you in the intro (the goals) and it is the jump to the right of where you start. From the small ramp, go over the grind rail, to the opposite side. It is parallel to where you start. With the auto-rotation function in this game, this is a bit harder, but do the Nothing while holding L1 or R1, and try to balance it out for the landing.
Condor - The Condor is directly behind you. Move toward it, then go to one side of the room, still parallel to the wall it's on, ride up to it, and slightly before it, jump and wallride up to it.
Achieve 80,000 points

I'm pretty sure is a really nice guy, but make sure you never inaccurately state how much effort he's put into one of his roles. It turns out he really hates that.
Cumberbatch has responded to suggestions he merely provided the voice of two characters in 's The Hobbit Trilogy. Indeed, the Sherlock and Star Trek Into Darkness star does lend his voice to Smaug and The Necromancer, but his contribution doesn't end there. He also physically acted out the motions of the characters using the same technology utilized for ' performance of Gollum. He told New York Magazine:
It was publicized that I 'voice' Smaug, and I thought, "[email protected]#king hell. My voice, my motions - I worked my ass off to create that dragon!"
Earlier in the month, we got the first possible look at a potential Smaug. Although it was claimed it was not the official look, I couldn't help thinking the beast did look very Cumberbatchy. Click here to take a look.
You can see the fruits of Cumberbatch's thespian toiling when The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug flies into theaters this December.

The NFL still plans to keep its London series going, but the attempt at utilizing four time slots on those Sundays appears to be set to end after this season.
Recent years have unearthed the 9:30 a.m. ET slot for NFL use, but the league is reportedly abandoning this experiment. According to Joe Flint of the Wall Street Journal (via Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio), the league is doing away with the four-time slot Sunday and will now return the London games to the usual early-game window they previously occupied.
Next season won't bring any 12-hour football Sundays, with the 1 p.m., 4:25 p.m., and 8:15 p.m. ET windows again representing start times for the league. That's been entrenched since Sunday night football emerged in 1987, and almost certainly due to ratings not being up to the NFL's standard, the usual schedule will return full-time.
This removes a prime-time slot for the NFL in Asia, however, so American football fans on that continent will again be forced into late-night or early-morning viewings of the league's games.
The league, though, will continue with the other recent — yet maligned — component of its schedule: the weekly Thursday-night series. It has no plans, per Flint, to scrap the Thursday-night games despite rampant complaints from players about physical readiness for those contests. NFL ratings have declined across the board, though, this season. But the league remains committed to this new window, even if it's ditching another failed venture.

Disclosure: I received these products in exchange for a review. The opinions are all 100% my own and may differ from yours.
Are you trying to live a more healthy and active lifestyle? As most of you probably already know, I've been trying my best to live healthier and be more active. I've been working out for at least a half hour each day, and I've been trying to eat healthier meals along with healthier snacks too.
Juice Plus sent me some of their products to review. I received the orchard, garden and vineyard blend chewables, wholesome grains & cranberries nutrition bars, spiced apple & raisin nutrition bars, and the french vanilla and dutch chocolate complete drink mixes.
The Garden Blend chewables were one of my favorites. They have carrot, parsley, beet, kale, broccoli, spinach, cabbage, tomato, oat bran and rice bran in them. I honestly didn't think I'd like these ones because of them being vegetables. Surprisingly I loved them! They were so chewy and delicious. This is going to be a great way for me to get more of my vegetables in each day.
Orchard Blend has apple, orange, pineapple, cranberry, peach, papaya and acerola cherry in it. These were very good too. I love that they have some citrus to them which make them very tasty.
Vineyard Blend has concord grape, blueberry, cranberry, blackberry, billberry, raspberry, red currant, black currant and elderberry. These had a bit of a different taste for me. If you love a lot of different berries, then I'm sure you'd love these ones.
I'm not usually one to eat nutrition bars. I usually find them to not be very good. Of course I was willing to give these a try and hope that they tasted better than the ones I have tried in the past. To my surprise they were actually not that bad. The spiced apple & raisin was my favorite. I love anything with an apple flavor in it.
I'm also not usually one to have drink mixes like this. I have had a hard time finding ones I can actually drink. I normally don't like them, but the dutch chocolate one from Juice Plus was very good. It's one I can actually stand to drink. It had a great chocolate taste.
I love the taste of french vanilla. If you love the taste of french vanilla, then I think you'll love this drink mix as well. This was my favorite one out of the two. It's almost like drinking a hot french vanilla cappuccino except it's a cold drink. I really liked this drink mix a lot. I'm happy to finally be able to drink something healthier that actually tastes good.
If you're looking for some great products that will keep you healthy, than check out the Juice Plus products. I loved all the products I was able to try out. I would recommend these to anyone that wants to lead a healthier lifestyle.

Film fans are flocking to the Cape Region for the 16th year in a row, and the Rehoboth Beach Film Society is focusing its lens on both international and local cinema.
The annual Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival will be held from Wednesday, Nov. 6, to Sunday, Nov. 10, at Movies at Midway on Route 1.
The festival will showcase more than 100 feature films, shorts and documentaries from across the globe, but Germany will take the spotlight this year. Two classic German films will each have one showing. "Berlin – Schonhauser Corner" is an East Berlin crime flick from 1957 about a teenager who enters West Berlin illegally and commits murder.
"M" is a classic Fritz Lang film from 1931 in which the criminal underworld outruns police in a race to find a child murderer and bring him to justice.
Three contemporary German films being screened at the festival – "Hannah Arendt," "More Than Honey," and "Oh Boy" – earned Lola awards, the German equivalent of Oscars.
Several contemporary films from the Delmarva Region will also be showcased. "Pieces of Tangier," a documentary about Tangier Island, Va., was directed by Pocomoke, Md. resident Jenny Roberts, who will be present for questions after the film's showing Sunday, Nov. 10.
"I Used to be Darker," is a feature film set in Baltimore and Ocean City, Md., directed by Baltimore resident Matt Porterfield, who will also be present for questions after the Sunday, Nov. 10 screening. The film is about a runaway from Northern Ireland who looks to her aunt and uncle for support, but finds them immersed in the process of divorce. The film was also shown at Sundance Film Festival in January.
Behind the scenes
Outside of the theater, movie buffs can attend three seminars to gain some behind-the-scenes knowledge of Egypt, Germany and life as an actor in Los Angeles. All seminars are free of charge and will take place in the Big Tent behind Movies at Midway.
"Egypt: Revolution to Evolution," will feature political activist Mokhtar Kamel and documentary filmmaker Fredrik Stanton, who will discuss the Egyptian uprising and its global effects. Stanton is the director of "Uprising," a documentary about the Egyptian revolution that will be shown at the festival. The seminar will take place at 9 a.m., Friday, Nov. 8.
"German Cinema: The Rise, The Fall and The Resurrection," will be led by Peter Pfeiffer, Georgetown University professor of German and a faculty member of the Film and Media Studies program. Pfeiffer is scheduled to speak about German cinema from 1895 to the present. The seminar will be held at 9 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 9.
"A Conversation with Brian Geraghty" is a live interview with an actor who appeared in "The Hurt Locker," "Flight," HBO series "Boardwalk Empire," and the film "Kilimanjaro," which will be shown twice at the festival. NPR's Liane Hansen will speak with Geraghty about working professionally in the film industry.
Geraghty, now a Los Angeles resident, is a New Jersey native whose father, Dennis Geraghty, lives in the Cape Region.
RBFS Board of Directors President Darrel Grinstead said in a letter to festivalgoers that the society and the film fest would continue to grow. "The society's Board of Directors has had discussions with several other local art, drama and educational organizations that hopefully will lead to the establishment in the Rehoboth-Lewes area of a multicultural center that will house a year-round art theater for films as well as facilities for art classes and exhibitions, performing arts and lifelong learning," Grinstead wrote.
All festival film tickets will be sold at the Big Tent, behind the Movies at Midway, starting at 4 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 6. Tickets are $9 each for film society members and $10 each for nonmembers. Any unsold tickets drop to $6 each at 1 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 10.

Secondary Currents Trailer (1982)
01 January 1982 16 mins
Secondary Currents is a film about the relationships between the mind and language. Delivered by an improbable narrator who speaks an extended assortment of nonsense, it is an 'imageless' film in which the shifting relationships between voice-over commentary and subtitled narration constitute a peculiar duet for voice, thought, speech, and sound. A kind of comic opera, the film is a dark metaphor for the order and entropy of language and has been the subject of a number of articles on the use of language in the arts.

Footrests, Arms, and Hydraulics
Nothing lasts forever, and sometimes accidents just happen. Keep your salon looking clean and straight laced by replacing the worn and torn arm rests on your styling chairs, and get a quick fix when someone's been too rough on a foot rest. Maybe you'd like to try out a different style of base or just need the new hydraulics. You could get a stand-alone foot rest to put under upright shampoo chairs for your shorter clients.
Shampoo Parts and Accessories
You've got a few moving parts to think about on shampoo equipment. You might be required by your city to have a vacuum breaker in all your units. You can switch out an old bowl and equip a new one with a chrome faucet and a rubber spray hose. Enhance your shampoo units with easy-clean hair traps to keep your drains safe, and soften those porcelain bowls with gel neck rests.

A $500,000 donation and an agreement between a leading real estate firm and an environmental group in El Salvador mark a conservation milestone in Central America — the first time a private company has given such a large grant earmarked for one nature reserve, in this case an area known as Los Volcanes ("the volcanoes").
Through an alliance between the Roble Group and SalvaNATURA, a conservation group that already administers several parks in El Salvador, the firm has agreed to provide at least $100,000 a year for five years for Los Volcanes' management. SalvaNATURA executive director Juan Marco Alvarez says the commitment will cover about 75% of the reserve's operating costs and solves "a critical long-term financing problem."
The agreement is part of a larger initiative, launched by SalvaNatura and the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (MARN, for its name in Spanish), to establish an endowment fund guarantying conservation of El Imposible and Montecristo National Parks and El Jocotal Wildlife Refuge, as well as Los Volcanes. Some 92 percent of tiny El Salvador is deforested, so its handful of reserves is especially precious.
According to Alvarez, SalvaNATURA previously has received sizeable donations from private companies dedicated to the protected areas administered by the conservation group. For example, Philip Morris International has donated $145,000 to buy land added to El Imposible National Park. Nonetheless, he believes that there's much greater potential to involve El Salvador's private sector in public conservation efforts. "We think this kind of alliance is the only solution for protecting our natural areas, since the government has other funding priorities," he says.
While Ernesto Zepeda, director of Natural Patrimony at MARN, concedes that the government "invests very little in protected areas," he adds: "the true reason is that our renewable natural resources policies call for participation from civil society, since natural resources like water and biological diversity are owned by the public, and we all have to participate in their conservation."
The general manager of commercial development for the Roble Group, Carlos Figueroa, explains that the company has a vision of not only being a business leader but also of "contributing to the sustainable development of our society." He points out that the Poma Group, which owns Roble, has supported various health, education, and environmental initiatives in El Salvador.
In the case of Los Volcanes, Alvarez points out that the Roble Group first got interested in the idea of supporting the reserve because it is a "national emblem." The three imposing volcanoes that dominate the reserve — Izalco, Cerro Verde and Santa Ana — provide one of the most famous and spectacular views in El Salvador. In exchange for "adopting" Los Volcanes, the Roble Group will receive its share of positive publicity, since the company's logo will appear on all of reserve's signs and related promotional and educational materials.
The donation allows SalvaNATURA to purchase needed equipment, develop infrastructure, such as building nature trails and erecting signs to mark the reserve's borders, and hire personnel, including guards and nature guides. But there's still a major problem to resolve. In spite of the fact that it encompasses nearly 5,000 acres of state-owned land, Los Volcanes is not an officially declared protected area.
But Zepeda points out that the reserve has an advantage over scores of natural areas in other Latin American countries, where legal decrees for parks exist on paper, but most of the land inside the declared borders remains in private hands, with few funds to purchase them. Conservationists call these reserves "paper parks." Los Volcanes, at least, is owned by the government, though the official paperwork is lacking. Zepeda reports that a proposal will be sent to the Legislative Assembly that would result in official protection for 30 different areas, including Los Volcanes.
Corridors, coffee & conservation
In addition to the 5,000 state-owned acres, about 11,000 acres in private hands might be incorporated into the Los Volcanes area through promotion of sustainable, low-impact activities. Principal among these is coffee, says Alvarez, since soils in the area are believed to produce the best-tasting coffee in El Salvador. SalvaNATURA hopes to establish a wildlife habitat corridor that would connect Los Volcanes with El Imposible National Park and feature forested, sustainably managed coffee farms.
In El Salvador, nearly all the coffee is grown the traditional way – under the shade of tropical trees. To encourage proprietors to maintain the trees on their land, SalvaNATURA will work with the Rainforest Alliance, an international conservation group, to bestow a seal of approval on those farms that follow the groups' guidelines, which outline how to cultivate coffee with minimal impact on the environment and maximum benefits to communities and workers. The sustainability label can earn farmers a premium from eco-conscious coffee guzzlers, especially in the United States and Europe. (Read more about the Alliance's sustainable coffee program.)
Another low-impact activity SalvaNATURA hopes to develop in Los Volcanes is tourism, since the area is both beautiful and close to the capital city of San Salvador. Part of the Roble Group's donation will go toward construction of a nature center in the reserve, the biggest and best equipped in the city, according to Alvarez. "We hope that sustainable tourism can contribute economically to the park's operations," he explains. The area, long popular among Salvadoran tourists, was hit hard by a powerful earthquake in 2001, but will soon be ready to again receive visitors.
Los Volcanes' natural assets start at sea level and extend skyward to misty cloud forests. One rare bird found in the area is the rock wren (Salpinctes obsoletus), which hops about the hardened lava flows of Izalco Volcano. Other wildlife species found in the reserve include the banded anteater (Tamandua mexicana), ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), coyote (Canis latrans), black crested eagle (Spizaeus tyrannus), and emerald toucanet (Aulacorhynchus prasinus).

Developments, improvements of this website
Darn ! this site got compromised/hacked ... I was too late (much too late) to update Drupal and some guy took advangtage of it.
Anyway, got the backup up and running again, didn't loose too much data. Ahum, actually only one post was lost in the process. I haven't been posting as much as I would have liked to.
But maybe it's time for change: I minimized my Facebook activity (even deleted the app on my phone).
The website of MI-Partners BV (the company I'm employed at) has been updated !
The all new Competences page is a real improvement:
Of course the website uses Drupal 7.
Finally ! after almost a year since the last update from 5 to 6.
Difficulties were the conversion of the old image nodes to the new nodes + image field flavour. Not everything works yet, enough for me to do !
Time flies ! I just noticed that this site is already running on Drupal for 10 years. My user-id on drupal.org is 4945 ... I'm not so active anymore on the Drupal site, but I guess I'm one of the oldie goldies.
I had to delete a lot of content: all the weblinks (most of them pointed to nowhere anyway), photo's of old friends and some other stuff.
Should have done this long ago ... Now drupal version 8 is almost out !
Soon version 6 will be unsupported.
Anyways, now going to version 7 !
See here for all the photos. We had a good time, Fran put many hours of preparation in the food. The apricot trifle with mascerpone was delicious.
See here for the photos of our last holiday ! Nothing spectacular, but we had a good time, although it was only a mid-week. The park (Landal, Rabbit Hill) is very child friendly and we had a good time.
Menno Stoffer sent me a large number of photos of the Bleeker microscope he rescued.
See all the photo's here. For more background info, see this node.
It's a wonderful instrument. If you have more information, please leave a comment or contact me.
Better late than never. The upgrade went smooth. A few modules are not upgraded (filestore2 and fscache) but that's not too big a problem. I just need to convert the nodes generated by this module to generic nodes with attachments.

text: Does anyone know any NGO's of a good reputation for volunteer work? I don't trust many of the projects that i could find on google, it's a bit suspicious when a organisation that i never heard of, charges €450,- for volunteer work in South-Africa. I've tried looking on the website of OxfamNovib or the World Food Program, and only saw positions for volunteer work within my own country, so that's of no use. So, any suggestions?

Added-value of SPECT/CT in Patients Undergoing Lymphatic Mapping and Sentinel Lymphadenectomy (LM/SL) for Gynecological Cancers
This clinical trial is aimed at assessing the utility of a minimally invasive surgery
preoperatively guided by a new nuclear medicine imaging procedure called SPECT/CT. In
patients suffering from an early stage of gynecological cancer with no clinical evidence of
lymph node involvement, there is theoretically no reason to perform systematically an
aggressive lymphadenectomy as demonstrated for other types of lymphophilic cancers such as
malignant melanoma, breast cancer, and head and neck cancer.
We plan to follow a well known and safe procedure in Nuclear Medicine called lymphatic
mapping and sentinel lymphadenectomy (LM/SL). The patient will be injected by the
gynecologist referee in the department of Nuclear Medicine. These injections consist of a
radioactive tracer routinely used in Nuclear Medicine, which allows the detection of the
first nodes draining the primary tumor. The so-called sentinel lymph node (SLN) may be
different from the lymph nodes anatomically predefined. As well demonstrated for other
cancers, including those mentioned above, we hypothesized that the histological status of
the SLN may accurately reflect the histological status of the entire nodal basin. If this
assumption is clinically validated, the minimally invasive procedure may avoid the cost and
the morbidity of unnecessary complete lymph node dissections in the majority of patients
with uninvolved SLNs.
The originality of this clinical trial also relies upon the use of a new hybrid imaging
device called SPECT/CT, which allows the ability to obtain in a single study both functional
and anatomical information. This is critical to precisely guide the surgeon in his task. No
contrast medium will be injected during this study. The radiation exposure remains within
the limits accepted worldwide; for instance, the CT dose index (CTDI) will be 3.0 mGy, which
is in the order of the yearly natural background radiation exposure (< 2mSv).
In this clinical trial, all patients will be treated according to the standard of care
currently applied for gynecological cancers. Therefore, either the hysterectomy or the
vulvectomy will be followed by a complete lymph node dissection (CLND).
Overall, the research protocol will be carried out in a 1-day protocol including the
SPECT/CT guided LM/SL and the CLND.
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Sensitivity, predictive value, anatomic localization, and impact on management of SPECT/CT guided LM/SL versus CLND

Miriam's Basket is a not-for profit organization established April 2011 to provide clothing and shoes to children in Northeast Florida who have been victims of abuse, neglect, or personal tragedy.
Our MISSION is to intervene in the critical times of these children by providing items such as clothing, shoes and socks, pajamas, underwear, coats, etc., as mandated in Matthew 25:31-40.
'I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, I was homeless and you gave me a room, I was shivering and you gave me clothes, I was sick and you stopped to visit, I was in prison and you came to me….'
Why Do Children Need Our Help? The case workers request our assistance in providing clothes for children who have been removed from their homes.
The very first child that we helped in 2011 was a 5-year old girl. Her mother had dropped her off for a relative to babysit her.
The mother never came back for her daughter.
Can you imagine being abandoned at 5 years old by your own mother?
Many children are removed from their homes suddenly due to having lived in situations of abuse or neglect. These children usually leave with only the clothes they are wearing.
When a grandparent or family member step up to take in a child, they may be on a fixed income and need help with clothing for the child.
When a child is removed from a home that contains a meth lab, all of their toys, stuffed animals, blankets, and clothes (even the ones they are wearing) are destroyed due to contamination. These children leave their homes in hospital gowns, not even with the clothes on their backs.
How Many Children Have We Helped?
- We gave out our first bag of clothes in December 2011.
- In 2011, 4 children.
- In 2012, 82 children.
- In 2013, 190 children.
- In 2014, 321 children.
- In 2015, 358 children as of August 31.
Since we started we have provided clothes for over 950 children.
The ages of the children range from 2 hours to 19 years old.
What Do We Put Into The Bags?
The case workers, when they have a child in need, send us a referral requesting clothing and shoes for the child.
We respond by providing 5 complete outfits, shoes, pajamas, 5 new pairs of socks and underwear, coats and sweaters (seasonal).
In addition I always put in something extra that is age appropriate. For younger children it's usually a stuffed animal and books, for average age children we give books or sketch pads with colored pencils, and for teenagers we include journals, pens or accessories.
We always pack their things in brightly colored bags with their first name on the outside. When they see the bag, we want them to smile and know it was put together especially for them. Each bag contains a lot of love.
How Do The Children Like Their Bags?
For their privacy and protection we never get to meet or see a picture of the children we help. However, we do receive reports from case workers about their reactions when they receive their bags. Here's what a few case workers have told us:
- "This little girl was so excited to have dresses, pink clothes, ruffles, sparkly shoes, and bows for her hair… The only clothing she had before this was hand me downs from her brothers."
- "When the children saw their bags today they got so excited! They said it was just like Christmas!"
- "When I gave the little boy his bag I told him to go try on some of his new clothes for me to see. He came out a few minutes later wearing only the underwear. When I asked where the rest of his clothes were, he said he didn't want to cover up his new underwear… (he had never had brand new underwear)."
- "When I gave this little boy his bag he ran over to his mother, opened the bag and said… Look mommy… You don't have to cry anymore… We have new clothes to wear!"
It is very important to us to make sure every child we help feels special. The items we give them are either new or just like new. (ALL underwear and socks ARE new). We want them to smile when they see their bags.
We don't know ALL of the particulars of their situations, but we do know something has gone terribly wrong for them to be removed from their homes. We know they are children in crisis who deserve to have the best we can possibly give to help them on their journey into safety, stability, restoration, and recovery from whatever they are going through.
Our needs are:
- Boy's clothing sizes Newborn – Adult Size 2x
- Girl's clothing sizes Newborn – Adult Size 2x
- Pajamas for Boys and Girls sizes Infant – Adult 2x
- Shoes for Boys and Girls sizes Newborn – Adult
- Diapers for Newborns – Toddler
- Pull-Ups for Boys and Girls 2T to 5T
- Socks for Boys and Girls: Newborn – Adult XL
- Underwear for Boys and Girls: Toddler – Adult 2x
We will gladly accept New and Used Clothing and Shoes. Used Clothing and Shoes need to be in Great Shape; nothing faded, stained, torn, no buttons missing, and all zippers and snaps working.
** Socks and Underwear need to be New, preferably still in the package.
Financial Donations are always appreciated and greatly needed!
We are so very appreciative of all the clothes and shoes that are donated to Miriam's Basket. However, financial contributions enable us to 'fill in the empty spaces' on our racks. Sometimes we receive more requests for certain sizes than we have available, so we have to go out and buy clothes.
Please make checks payable to Miriam's Basket.
Please contact us to make your donation.
Thank YOU so much. God Bless YOU for your giving.
Linda Grabowski, Founder and Director

Downhill 360 video: Tech Talk
More on the amazing 360-degree camera technology used in the video that's taking MTB by storm
Norwegian film-makers Making View recently teamed up again with Red Bull for another unique 360-degree video project, this time at their country's UCI Mountain Bike World Cup round at Hafjell, and top team Scott11 and Velosolutions were asked to help make it a reality, with Brendan Fairclough (pictured, above) wearing the specialist camera and riding the downhill course with team-mates Floriane Pugin and Noel Niederberger.
Despite all the technology packed into it, the ViewCam is small and lightweight at just 600g, meaning Brendan would barely have felt he was carrying it as he shredded the course at Hafjell Bike Park.
Remote control makes the camera even more portable, meaning the horizons of equirectangular filming technology are now even broader, as this amazing video proves.
Multiple spherical lenses around the camera are allied with sensors that synchronise images to produce the video, and a large internal memory means longer, high-quality filming at higher framerates can be produced.
Technical Specs
•Lightweight – ≈600 grams •4K x 2K equirectangular video @ 25-50 fps •2.4 GHz remote-controlled •160–224 GB internal memory •Synchronized image sensor control •Modular system
Meanwhile, if you haven't seen the video in all its glory, you really should! Click the link below to our special page:

Did you know that social media marketing is more effective than outbound marketing? And that's the reason why most businesses today engage in social media marketing. It can help the business grow the brand and improve the bottom line. And through the help of a digital marketing agency, you will be able to maximise the results of the online marketing campaign.
Not having an active social media presence will put the business at a disadvantage. If you want to attract more customers as well as retain existing ones, then invest in a strong social marketing campaign.
Social Media Posts Drive Targeted Traffic
Creating a new page on the website will be for nothing if it doesn't get visitors. A well-placed social media post can help direct targeted traffic to the page. There are cases in which a single link shared on Reddit is able to direct thousands of visits in …Read More

Learn about SUNY Buffalo summer basketball camp, and registering for elective lectures and seminars. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches want to see you play. A lot of the time college coaches may have only one chance to see potential recruits play, so be ready to shine if you are visiting the campus in person. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and SUNY Buffalo Basketball information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for SUNY Buffalo.
You don't have to quarterback the university football team to a state championship to earn an athletic scholarship. Most major sports that field a team in intercollegiate competition have sports scholarships available. From women's gymnastics to men's track and field, coaches are seeking players to build a team around. Further, that leadership role often is accompanied by a full-scholarship.
The best time to begin searching for scholarships is before your senior year, in order to meet deadlines. Schools confirm that it is important to file financial aid forms such as the CSS Profile early in the school year. There are many sports scholarships that focus on less tangible qualities, such as the ability to lead a team, motivate others, and learn new skills rapidly. Take stock of your athletic abilities as you mature through high school. Florida Metropolitan University sports center may encourage student-athletes to apply via early decision. Students who are considering applying via early decision should be aware of the rules and obligations that this commitment entails. Beyond consideration for SUNY Buffalo summer basketball camp, you may think about Fort Valley State University academic records for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Since I work in the Customer Service Department at GiftTree, I have to get up very early in the morning. Most of us in this department have to be at work at 6am. A few come in at 5am and at certain busy times of the year, quite a few of us come in at 5am. We have to field those calls from people calling in from the East Coast, which is 3 hours ahead of us. So, since I get up so early each day, I like to have all of my stuff ready for the next day, so I can sleep in just a little bit longer. Anything that helps me sleep in awhile longer is very helpful! Plus, at 5:30 in the morning, my brain isn't fully functional just yet, and every single day I forget something that I need for the day. But I discovered something that should make my mornings just a little bit easier. One of our new gifts is a Door Organizer with Engraved Key Chain. Whoever came up with this is a genius! It's this handy little organizer that hangs on a doorknob, and it holds all the little things that one needs through out the day, but tend to forget: keys, sunglasses, pens, etc. It even has a little panel in the back to hold mail or a newspaper. Our door organizer also comes with a key chain that you can have engraved. Too cool! This is just perfect for those of us who are in a rush every morning or maybe a little bit forgetful!
5am Comes Early
Jason on May 22, 2008 at 1:47 pm
I work an early shift sometimes at my job also, and you're so right about the brain not working very well when you first roll out of bed and it's still dark outside! Anything we can get that will minimize the amount of thinking we have to do at that hour is a good thing. I might have to get one of those organizers for myself. Being hung from a door knob is a great idea… if its right there at the front door, its harder to walk past it while you're in that zombie-like state. =)
