Urgent: Senate to Vote on "Cybersecurity" Bill
Lame duck is in full swing, and Harry Reid has announced the Senate will force a vote before Thanksgiving on so-called "Cybersecurity" legislation.
Just before midnight last night, C4L President John Tate sent out an urgent message to supporters:
I just walked out of a meeting with some Senate insiders, and I'm still steaming mad at what I heard.
Members of both parties are scheming to ram through the so-called "Cybersecurity" Bill.
If passed, this scheme will virtually guarantee companies engage in more invasions of our privacy.
I know it's late, but I need you to call your senators first thing tomorrow morning and tell them you haven't fallen asleep just because the elections have come and gone.
You can find your senators contact information here, or reach them through the Congressional Switchboard at 202-224-3121.
Tell your senators to vote "NO" on any last-minute attempt to pass so-called "Cybersecurity" legislation!
This is just the first of numerous battles you and I must fight in this lame-duck session, but it is one of the utmost importance.
If Congress were to pass this ill-advised legislation, it'd mean even more collusion between Big Government and Big Business and spell the end for any notion of "privacy" that remains on the internet.
So please, take action today by calling your senators and urging them to vote "NO" on every vote regarding "Cybersecurity", including cloture.

Touche!This is a nice option for highlighting... I put it in the corners of my eyes and it drew and reflected light. However, it did not serve me well as a concealer.

Due to these trying economic time, the thought of a worthy 250 commuter, a workhorse, is certainly more appealing to riders than ever before. The Inazuma fills that role brilliantly. It's effective, idiot-proof and economical and its classy touches, badge, two-year warranty and more lift it above the general morass. The trouble is the price. We aren't convinced that the ...

Lynn Benjamin rarely gave a thought to the stamps she bought. Flowers? Birds? Love? Does it really matter?
These days, however, only the goddess Diana graces her envelopes, a choice that costs Benjamin eight extra cents per stamp.
As a breast cancer survivor, the Coral Springs woman knows the value of the Breast Cancer Research Stamp.
Not only is it an unusual and beautiful stamp, says Benjamin, but it will make the public conscious of this disease that affects more and more families. And each time they see the stamp, it will bring to mind a positive hope of cure.

Summary: For over three millennia, most people could understand the universe only in terms of myth, religion, and philosophy. Between 1920 and 1970, cosmology transformed into a branch of physics. With this remarkably rapid change came a theory that would finally lend empirical support to many long-held beliefs about the origins and development of the entire universe: the theory of the big bang. In this book, Helge Kragh presents the development of scientific cosmology for th ...show moree first time as a historical event, one that embroiled many famous scientists in a controversy over the very notion of an evolving universe with a beginning in time. In rich detail he examines how the big-bang theory drew inspiration from and eventually triumphed over rival views, mainly the steady-state theory and its concept of a stationary universe of infinite age.
In the 1920s, Alexander Friedmann and Georges Lemaître showed that Einstein's general relativity equations possessed solutions for a universe expanding in time. Kragh follows the story from here, showing how the big-bang theory evolved, from Edwin Hubble's observation that most galaxies are receding from us, to the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Sir Fred Hoyle proposed instead the steady-state theory, a model of dynamic equilibrium involving the continuous creation of matter throughout the universe. Although today it is generally accepted that the universe started some ten billion years ago in a big bang, many readers may not fully realize that this standard view owed much of its formation to the steady-state theory. By exploring the similarities and tensions between the theories, Kragh provides the reader with indispensable background for understanding much of today's commentary about our universe.
"An exhilarating read--and not just for cosmologists. For although Kragh has produced a thoroughly scholarly work, he is nevertheless an excellent writer and his book could easily be enjoyed by anyone who is fascinated by the evolution of big scientific ideas. And they don't come much bigger than the origin, evolution, and fate of the Universe."--Marcus Chown, New Scientist
"[An] insightful, thoroughly researched treatment of the intellectual development of modern cosmology."--Woodruff T. Sullivan III, Science
"[An] excellent book . . . [a] thorough and detailed understanding. . . has enabled Kragh to write. . . enjoyable descriptions of complex issues. . . . It is difficult to imagine a more complete and scholarly account of this epoch of cosmological history."--Bernard Lovell, The Times Literary Supplement
"As one who has been intimately involved with the subject, I thoroughly appreciated reading this work.... There are still a few left who believe that science advances relentlessly in a straight line. The actual zigzag path is beautifully illuminated in this book."--Hermann Bondi, Nature
"[A] masterful interpretation of modern cosmology's emergence."--Karl Hufbauer, Physics Today
"[An] excellent book.... It is difficult to imagine a more complete and scholarly account of this epoch of cosmological history."--Bernard Lovell, The Times Literary Supplement
"The ultimate validation of the big-bang theory makes for a fascinating book. Kragh [tells] the story in comprehensive and compelling detail."--Jack Zirker, National Optical Astronomy Observatories

6. How do I set up my DNS for the 'autodiscover' service?
How Do I Change My Password?
In order to change you Thoughtbus password, please use the Outlook Web Access or Outlook Web App interface. (It cannot be done with the standard Outlook client.) Logon to Outlook Web Access by browsing to https://mail.thoughtbus.com After logging into your Thoughtbus mailbox, choose "Options", in the upper-right corner of the screen:
Then click Change Your Password on the bottom right.
If you're on Exchange 2007, start by clicking "Options" in the upper right:
Once you click the "Options"button, you'll see the following screen, on the left side of which is the"Change Password" option. Click this, and you'll see an area where you're prompted for your old and new passwords:
Once you've filled in these fields, click "Save".
How can I tell how much space I'm using in my Thoughtbus Exchange mailbox?
Using Microsoft Outlook, you can see the amount of space that your mailbox is using on the Thoughtbus server by right-clicking on your top-level mailbox (the one that's marked "Mailbox - "), choosing "Properties", clicking the "Mailbox Size" button, and then selecting the 'Server Data' tab.
How do I import a .pst file to my Thoughtbus mailbox?
Outlook 2003/2007
If you have been using Microsoft Outlook before you signed up for Thoughtbus service, and you want to import your mail, Calendar, and Contacts into your Thoughtbus mailbox, you can do this by locating the Personal Folders (.pst) file that contains your information, and import it to your Thoughtbus mailbox using the "File / Import and Export"function within Outlook. This brings up the following window (screenshots are from Outlook 2003 but are the equivalent in Outlook 2007):
Select 'Import from another program or file'and press 'Next'. In the 'Import a File' window, scroll down and choose the"Personal Folder File" option and press 'Next'.
In the 'Import Personal Folders' window, specify the location of your .pst file. Choose how you would like duplicates to be handled and press 'Next'.
Now, choose what you want to import. In order to import everything you have stored in Outlook (Contacts, Calendar, etc.), choose the top-level folder that is (most likely) listed as "Personal Folders", check the box that says "Include subfolders", and have the items import into the same folder in your Thoughtbus mailbox.
Click 'Finish', and the import process will begin, after which your old mail (and anything else you chose to import) be in your Thoughtbus mailbox.
Outlook 2010
The procedure is the same as above, but instead of choosing "File – Import and Export", you will choose "File – Open –Import":
Note: please check the size of the .pst file, and the remaining space in your Thoughtbus mailbox, to ensure that importing the .pst file will not result in your mailbox reaching its size limit. For example, if your mailbox limit is 5 GB, and you determine (via FAQ item #2) that your mailbox currently uses 3000 MB, and when you view the properties of the .pst file, you find it is 2500 MB, then the .pst file will likely fill your Thoughtbus mailbox. If this happens you would be unable to send or receive emails, so in this case we recommend paring down the information to be imported– you could move some information to another .pst file before importing the first .pst file to your mailbox, for example.
Why does Outlook Web Access keep prompting me for my username?
When you logon to Outlook Web Access in the default "This is a public or shared computer" mode, the timeout period is very short; approximately 15 to 30 minutes. So, if you do not use Outlook Web Access for this period of time, the next time you use Outlook Web Access, you'll be prompted for your username and password again. This is a security precaution to prevent unauthorized access to your mailbox if you're using a computer that is accessed by many people. If you choose the "This is a private computer" option at the Outlook Web Access logon screen, Outlook Web Access will take 24 to 36 hours to timeout.
I deleted something from "Deleted Items" accidentally. Can it be recovered?
If you delete something from your "Deleted Items" folder, you can still restore it for up to 14 days by selecting the Deleted Items folder and choosing "Tools – Recover Deleted Items", or in Outlook 2010, choosing the "Folder" tab and selecting "Recover Deleted Items". Beyond 14 days, we would need to perform a mailbox restore to recover the item. Please work with your organization's Thoughtbus administrator to request the restore of a mailbox.
How do I use a shared mailbox folder with Outlook Web Access or Outlook Web App?
To access the mailbox in your browser, you'll need to use a specific URL, in the following format:
Exchange 2007: https://mail.thoughtbus.com/exchange//?cmd=contents&f=
Exchange 2010: https://mail.thoughtbus.com/owa//?cmd=contents&fpath=
So, if you work at "company.com" and Mary Smith has assigned you as a delegate for her "Contacts" folder, your URL might look like this:
Exchange 2007: https://email@example.com/?cmd=contents&f=Contacts
Exchange 2010: https://email@example.com/?cmd=contents&fpath=Contacts
You will be prompted for your username and password, after which you will be granted access to Mary Smith's Contacts folder. Please note that you can be logged into your own mailbox as well via Outlook Web Access, in a separate window.
How do I share a mailbox folder to be used in Outlook Web Access or Outlook Web App?
Once you have shared the folder you want to share (Calendar, Contacts, etc.), and have designated the person with whom it should be shared, you'll need to set some permissions on the mailbox itself. In the Outlook folder list, right-click on"Mailbox – Name", and choose "Properties:
Then, choose the"Permissions" tab, add the name of the person with whom the folder is being shared, and check the "Folder Visible" box:
Then click "Ok", to finish up.
Note: This procedure is the same across all verions of Outlook for Windows.
How do I correct the Outlook 2007/2010 error 'Not downloading Offline address book files. A server (URL) could not be located'?
This error can be fixed by running the Thoughtbus Outlook 2007/2010 Setup Helper.
In the Outlook 2007/2010 Setup Helper, enter your primary Thoughtbus email address, and then click the "Add Thoughtbus'autodiscover'" button. Close the window and restart Outlook, and you should no longer see the error.
How do I update my 'hosts' file for the 'autodiscover' service if I'm on a Mac?
The following document explains how to modify your "hosts" file: Updating the 'hosts'file for the 'autodiscover service on a Mac
How do I upgrade to Entourage 2008, Web Services Edition?
View the full procedure for upgrading on our main support page.
I need to increase the storage limits on a mailbox. How?
If you are your organization's Thoughtbus administrator, you can increase the storage limits on a mailbox from within the Thoughtbus Administration Console, at http://mail.thoughtbus.com/adminconsole After logging in, you can select the user's mailbox, click "Edit", and then click "Packages", where you'll be able to modify mailbox settings. View for more detail.
How do I add a new user to my organization?
If you are your company's Thoughtbus administrator, you can add a new user to your organization through the Thoughtbus Administration Console, by clicking the "New User" button. View for more detail.
How do I send email to Public Folders?
You can configure this from within the admin console. Please see Using the Administration Console
What are all these permissions on my Public Folders?
If you look through the permissions on your Public Folders, you will see a number of Thoughtbus service accounts. Do not remove these, as they are required for maintenance and backup purposes. In addition, please do not change the 'Default' group from a role of 'None', as this group consists of all users of Thoughtbus hosted Exchange – not just your organization. The '…DELADMIN…' group consists of the administrator(s) of your organization. The '…OU_USERS…' group consists of all the users within your organization's main container in the Thoughtbus Administration Console.
How can I add a SharePoint user without adding an Exchange mailbox?
If your organization has a Thoughtbus hosted SharePoint site, and you want to add a new person to the site, but you don't want to create an Exchange mailbox, just add the person in the Thoughtbus Administration Console, but do not subscribe them to a package. (In the Admin Console after you create the User, a window titled 'Auto-Subscribe a Package'appears. Press the 'Cancel' button in this window to avoid subscribing to a package.) Once you've created the User in the Admin Console, you can add the User to the SharePoint site, via the 'Site Settings / Manage Users' link. For more detail, please see Using the Administration Console.
How do I set up my DNS for the 'autodiscover' service?
To do this, you'll need to be able to modify your organization's DNS records, or at least the DNS records of the email domain(s) of your primary email addresses. Create a new "CNAME" record for a host called "autodiscover", and point it to autodiscover.thoughtbus.com.
For example: Bob Jones works at Company ABC, and his email address is email@example.com. So Bob logs into his DNS provider's configuration website (or he contacts his systems administrator to request the change), and creates a new "CNAME" record for autodiscover.companyabc.com and points it to the hostname autodiscover.thoughtbus.com.
By setting up your DNS for the 'autodiscover'service, you'll provide organization-wide support for:
An alternative to configuring the DNS entry for 'autodiscover' for Outlook 2007/2010 is to run the Thoughtbus Outlook 2007/2010 Setup Helper each time an Outlook Profile is added to another PC. For Entourage 2008 and MacMail on Snow Leopard, an alternative to this is to edit the 'hosts.' file on the Macintosh, adding a line reading"184.108.40.206 autodiscover." – please see the Exchange 2007 FAQ entry on editing Mac hosts files for more information on this.

endive and celery salad with fennel vinaigrette
I know you all think I must be immune to this, but I go through phases of Down With Cooking all of the time. Sometimes, I'm just extra tired. Sometimes, the food outside the apartment is way more tempting, as it has been since we've moved into a new neighborhood full of intriguing sandwiches, hummus joints and more new flavors than I could pack into a year. Other times, I lack inspiration, or worse, an appetite as I did through that needling first trimester. I have cold cereal for breakfast, peanut butter and jelly for lunch. I fib my way through it on this site, plugging in recipes I have backlogged and sticking to simple things like snacks of pickled grapes in hopes that if I do not force it, it will come naturally back to me. I fear cooking becoming a chore, though I know even this worry is a luxury exclusive to people who share blocks with six eateries.
Four days after we moved apartments and kitchens, we took off for four days in the country. I didn't unpack the kitchen before we left and I didn't unpack it when we got back. We were at a standstill, this newer smaller kitchen of mine. Nothing fits in it, including the fridge (though it's in there anyway, ugh, I'll discuss that mess when I'm able to without grinding my teeth). The dishwasher we'd swooned and were sold over was broken, we needed to buy a cabinet for the living room before we could even unpack our dishes, the sink was borked, the wall had no room for our pot rack and we accidentally forgot to unpack the entire bin of perishables (mayos, jams, boullons, mustards, yeasts, cheese, butter, shudder) finding the box 10 days later (post-heat wave with no air conditioning yet, to boot) suitable for nothing but the trash bin. It was not looking very promising.

Pixel Cloud Installation / UNSTABLE
Designed and directed by Iceland based architect Marcos Zotes and his studio UNSTABLE, their Pixel Cloud installation is the winning competition entry for the Reykjavik Winter Lights Festival 2013, organized by Höfuðborgarstofa, Orkusalan and the Iceland Design Center. The installation creates an opportunity for Icelanders to reconsider the use and management of their urban public spaces. With the current financial situation leaving a permanent landscape of obsolete scaffolding structures scattered across the city, this has resulted in urban scars that remind us of the fragility of their current society. This installation takes advantage of this condition by transforming an ordinary scaffolding structure into a fully immersive environment of light and sound in the heart of Reykjavík. More images and architects' description after the break.
'Your Text Here' Installation / Marcos Zotes/UNSTABLE
The 'Your Text Here' participatory, site-specific light installation challenges the condition of the city constantly telling us what to do, what to think, and how to act. Using explicit visual language, a multiplicity of billboards, signs, images and symbols invade our public spaces in order to tell us something. The project by Marcos Zotes/UNSTABLE aims at empowering local communities by providing a tool that transforms people voices into citizen proclamations the size of buildings. You just submit an anonymous text message in a website through your mobile phone, and in turn it is automatically projected at large scale onto the façade of a building. More images and architect's description after the break.

Biopic explores the humble beginnings of one of fashion's most recognizable names
Coco Before Chanel
|Anne Fontaine
|Audrey Tautou, Benoît Poelvoorde, Alessandro Nivola, Marie Gillain, Emmanuelle Devos, Régis Royer
|Release Date:
There's a moment at the end of Coco Before Chanel that's so unnecessary it's as if from another movie: a montage of earlier scenes that you have just watched, in a way, with Coco. Did director Anne Fontaine think you had forgotten what Coco went through before the last scene's fashion show of iconic wool suits, extraordinary long gowns, and gorgeous gold chains--or that Coco herself would have forgotten? C'est impossible.
This late montage is Fontaine's only misstep in this biopic, written by Fontaine and Camille Fontaine (no relation) from Edmonde Charles-Roux's book of the same title. It's a gorgeous movie layered with orchestral music and punctuated by lively French songs and enough picturesque shots to fill a year's worth of French fashion magazines. The strong narrative is one that even the beauty of Audrey Tautou merely enhances, it's such a classic success story.
Born Gabrielle Chanel in 1883 and orphaned at an age when memories of abandonment never dissolve, Chanel and her sister Adrienne (Marie Gillain) live and work in Moulins in Central France as seamstresses during the day and cabaret singers at night. The song they perform, "Coco," gives Gabrielle her nickname, and clientele with money and connections give the sisters a way out of poverty. While Adrienne falls in love with a customer, Coco begins a lifelong relationship with millionaire Étienne Balsan (Benoit Poelvoorde). Sex may have been the way to keep Balsan interested, but it's Coco's outspoken dismissal of his original advances that compel him to stop at the dress shop where she works to say goodbye.
He's bound for his estate, Alcazar. Adrienne has moved in with her boyfriend in the country nearby, and Coco follows the both of them. Balsan gives her two days, she stays for years. Ambitious and modern in sensibility, taste, and independence, Coco will not be denied. Although the humiliation she endures from this man is hard to watch, she finds a strength in her submission--he forces her to sing "Coco" to a room full of raucous party guests that know every word, and she doesn't move a muscle beyond her lips.
She is introduced to frivolous and stupid rich folk who drink champagne--that's all anyone drinks--although she does befriend the actress (and sometimes Balsan lover) Emilenne d'Alençon (Emmanuelle Devos), a Parisienne who begins to wear Coco's simply designed straw hats. Coco's style changes in the countryside as her time and interests are no longer dependant on making a living: she shuns corsets as uncomfortable and allows her breasts freedom; she dons men's jodhpurs and straddles horses rather than ride feminine sidesaddle; she tailors a plaid dress with pieces from a men's tuxedo shirt after rejecting a silk dress with rosettes gifted by Balsan.
Growing into her own, she also gains confidence. Originally sequestered upstairs as a plaything, Coco makes her way in Balsan's society and stands out not just in her trousers, but in her forward-thinking intelligence and creativity. English businessman Arthur "Boy" Capel (Alessandro Nivola), a Balsan colleague, takes her away on a seaside holiday--a sequence that offers more than one stunning shot of Coco while the world spins around her. She returns to Balsan in love with Capel and wearing a fisherman's blue canvas pullover and traditional white and navy striped cotton shirt with wide collar.
Coco's ambition was as strong as her contention that women should be comfortable in their clothing--not restricted by it--and that there's a sexy elegance in simplicity. Her heart is nearly broken by cultural restrictions and financial decisions, but she accepts them as the inevitable results of falling in love with a man of high class, eventually deciding to open a hat shop in Deauville, beginning a career in fashion design for the new, independent woman of the 20th century. In the movie, Coco displays a wonderful focus whenever she touches fabric, drawing on it with chalk and slicing through it with sharp scissors; although Coco is about the life before sewing chains in the bottom of her famous wool jackets to weight them down, Chanel was always an absolutely original.

Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.

1. Maglor Plays For His People After Doriath
A/N: If you've read other stories in this cycle you may perhaps know this already, but if you don't, the following may make things easier to understand:
In this story cycle, the Feanorians did not retreat to Amon Ereb until after they had spent weeks on the outskirts of Doriath waiting for Maedhros to return for his search for Dior's sons. Also they made Amon Ereb their main base at this time because they feared the retribution of the Green Elves, if they returned to the woods--before that it had been held by Caranthir and his followers.
He walks into the chilly hall, carrying his harp, and they all turn to him expectantly.
Amon Ereb seems a much gloomier place than Caranthir's house in Thargelion used to be. Perhaps that is because Caranthir who built it is now dead or perhaps it was so even to begin with, Caranthir having built the fortress on Amon Ereb after his defeat and the loss of Thargelion. Or perhaps the death of Denethor, who died on this hill before ever a Noldo had set foot in Beleriand, has left an indelible mark on the surroundings that Caranthir failed to erase.
It is likely, though, that Amon Ereb would be a less gloomy place if it were not newly overrun with bewildered Kinslayers. The hall is packed with followers of the Sons of Feanor: those who are not on duty—those who can walk, those who are still alive—have foregathered here, huddling together for comfort and support as they once did in the icy winters of Himring during the Dagor Bragollach. It is a smaller hall, this one. There are not so very many of them left.
But still they turn to Maglor, with all the force of old habit, expecting to see themselves in the mirror of his song, as when he sang of their courage and their endurance, their fears, their grief and their hope, and they found the strength inside themselves to mount the walls again and beat off yet another attack. And yet tonight is not the same. Tonight Maglor is playing for them for the first time after Doriath.
Here is Ceredir, from Himring, and Turion from the Gap, who twice faced Glaurung at Maglor's side, and Nolemir, who followed Caranthir from Thargelion and lost his lord in Doriath... The faces turned towards him are haunted, disturbed, restless, their eyes filled with doubt. But, at the same time, he sees an alarming readiness to clutch at straws in those faces, a desperate wish to credit whatever he is going to say.
Explain things to us, Makalaure. Tell us what we did. Tell us who we are, now.
Their need presses on him and he wants to absolve them, to tell them that all that happened in Doriath was his fault, his and his brothers' only. Let the Sons of Feanor take the responsibility for everything and the blame, for after all those who followed merely did what they were told to do. Surely Maglor owes his people this; surely it is the least he owes them.
But it would not be true, if he told his people that. Because the truth is that none of their oaths—not one of the oaths they swore to the Sons of Feanor—was intended to be unbreakable. To be sure, they were not consulted before Doriath or, individually, asked for their consent. But they could have turned aside. They could have refused—no, not easily, but they could have. And still they followed.
And if he tells them that it is only the Sons of Feanor who are to blame—if he hands them that handful of straw, they will clutch at it, he is certain. But is that what they truly need of him? And if he tells them that Dior brought his own death and the destruction of Doriath on himself, by refusing to listen when he should have known better? They will clutch at that, too, but is that what they need from him tonight?
His people—Turion, who twice faced the Father of Dragons at his side and went on to survive the following siege and the Nirnaeth and the years in Ossiriand, Turion and all the rest of them—it seems there ought to have been a moment he recognized when the time was right to turn to them and say: Do not. Do not follow. Do not do as I say. Have you not heard the words of the Prophecy of the North as well as I? How can you not be better anywhere else than under my leadership?
He never said it. And it is not only because it would have seemed profoundly disloyal to his brothers if he did that he did not say it. Those people who have been following them since Losgar, since Araman, since Alqualonde—with each step they took together in Middle-earth, all the way across Beleriand, it became less possible to abandon them and never was there a safe place, never a safe time to leave them, never safe hands to leave them in. And now there is less safety than ever for them, outside these walls.
Makalaure Feanorion, whose ambition once was to sway hearts only with music, neither less nor more than that—what did he know of unbreakable bonds, when he swore the Oath, and how they break? There are fewer of his people now, so many fewer of them, but for the most part it is not because they left, not the Noldor among them. And here they are, those who remain, and here is Maglor—battered and shaken and burdened, all of them—and what shall he sing for them tonight?
He remembers Daeron and how everyone seemed to be determined that they should be rivals before they had even met. The Sindar pointedly praised Daeron to the skies; the Noldor reacted with undisguised, although often unexpressed scepticism. Whatever their attitude to Teleri and to the Sons of Feanor more generally, even the followers of the House of Finarfin seemed to expect Maglor to defend the honour of the Amanyar against this Sinda who had never seen the Light of the Trees.
When they finally encountered each other at the Mereth Aderthad, he eyed Daeron warily and found the Sinda cautiously eyeing him back. Daeron, he thought, might not have been hearing about him as long as he had been hearing about Daeron, but he clearly had been getting more than an earful recently. Maglor inclined his head. Daeron politely inclined his; then he stepped back beside his Sinda companion, the visibly sturdier and more warlike Mablung.
After that, it all became very embarrassing very quickly indeed. Eventually he and Daeron had caught each other loitering at the fringes of each other's audience one too many times--unconvincingly pretending a merely casual interest as if they had just happened to be passing by--and they both decided to give up their ridiculous game of hide-and-seek. When they next ran across each other again among the crowds of festival-goers, they grabbed each other simultaneously like over-eager lovers and unceremoniously dragged each other into the shelter of the next storage tent.
A while later, Fingon came rushing in, apparently bent on making sure they were not strangling each other, but stopped in his tracks at once and retreated outside again on tiptoe.
'It's all right', he was heard reassuring concerned bystanders on the other side of the tent wall. 'Really, it's all right! Artists being artists, you know. Just ignore the shouting and swearing…'
'Being artists?' Mablung's voice asked, sounding a bit sceptical.
'Music', replied Fingon, tersely, 'some minor differences in the fingering of certain chords between the Iathrim and the northern Sindar which I confess had completely escaped my notice until now. But I'm afraid my cousin is rather prone to get excitable about such things…'
Sometime later, Maedhros touched Maglor's elbow and drew his attention to the basket containing a jug of water, a bottle of wine and a packet of flat-bread cut into handy bite-sized pieces, which he had just deposited next to him. When he was certain that the content of the basket had properly registered with his brother, he nodded, smiled and quietly withdrew.
But Maglor and Daeron went right on exchanging tunes, lyrics and techniques, taking turns, with hardly a break even for a sip and a bite, until they were hoarse as crows, their fingertips were bleeding, and their arms felt as if they were about to fall off. They stumbled out of the tent into the dusk of the following day, blinking and weaving like drunks on their way to their respective beds. But after they had slept off their musical hangover, they performed together every evening for the remaining duration of the Mereth Aderthad and to resounding success.
For a time, Daeron had been Maglor's brother-in-music, never mind that there were things he did not understand about Daeron and that, moreover, he often was not quite sure which of them had to do with Daeron himself and which of them had to with Doriath: the other's complicated feelings towards Luthien, Thingol's daughter, for instance—a woman Maglor had never met, although of course he had heard of her—which seemed to be reflected in stunningly beautiful but somehow worrying songs.
Naturally, it could not last. When the rumours had reached Maglor that Daeron had obeyed Thingol's command to the letter and beyond—dropping not only all lyrics in Quenya from his repertoire, but also the tunes, Valinorean techniques and little flourishes he had learned from Maglor, which now all seemed tarred with the same Noldorin brush as the words—that had hurt. It had hurt a surprising amount, more than he expected. Not that he had any right to complain. He could hardly claim that Thingol had had no provocation or that Daeron owed it to Maglor to disobey him. After all, if Maglor himself had permitted bonds forged by music alone to override all others, he might have fought on the opposite side in Alqualonde…
He could not even claim virtue in not following Daeron's example. Daeron's audience, in Doriath, was naturally made up purely of Iathrim. If he had not given up Noldorin songs of his own free will, they would probably have demanded it of him. Maglor, in the Marches, on the other hand had continued to play for Sindar as well as for Noldor and he went on studying how to reach their hearts with his music—until the Siege broke in the Dagor Bragollach and so many of the Sindar, his Sindar, died or left and later, at the time of the Nirnaeth, once again left or died.
Maglor is grateful that Daeron had departed from Doriath long before they attacked it. He is very grateful that in Menegroth he did not encounter any of those at the point of his sword who had once fought under his command, by his side, and deserted him when times turned against him. He knows others were not as lucky.
And all the while, while he is remembering all this, he is setting up to play, arranging himself on his chair on the dais and tuning the harp strings.
Maglor lays his hand across the strings and reconsiders for a moment. I am taking a risk. I may have misjudged. But then he lifts his head and begins to sing.
He does not praise the courage and endurance of the Feanorians. He does not spend a word on the failings of Dior. He sings a lament for Doriath, a song in praise of the lost glory of the Iathrim, weaving together all he learned from Daeron together with what he picked up over the years from others—northern Sindar, Falathrim and Green Elves out of Ossiriand—into a shining, shimmering tapestry of song. And he has not misjudged, for Maglor's people follow him once again.
They have never seen Thingol or Melian. They have never seen Luthien, those that are assembled in the hall of Amon Ereb tonight. By the time they set foot in Doriath it was already broken, greatly diminished after the destruction wrought by the dwarves of Nogrod—and, to the Feanorians, the Thousand Caves of the Menegroth have become the stuff of nightmare, a labyrinth of never-ending skirmish and unavailing pursuit where death, threatening or inflicted, lurked around every corner.
But Maglor tells them that Doriath was glorious and beloved before it fell, its beauty unsurpassed, and they hear it as if they were hearing it for the first time. It unlocks their grief. They lament its loss together with Maglor. Tonight, the Kinslayers weep for Doriath.
In the centre of the Hall, Ceredir stands by himself, leaning on his crutch, tears running down his face. Nolemir, whose mother was a Sinda who died in the Dagor Bragollach, is curled up in a corner, sobbing convulsively like an infant. Turion stares grimly ahead of him. He blinks rapidly a couple of times; then he takes out a handkerchief and violently blows his nose. Beside Maglor on the dais Amrod weeps, leaning forward in his chair—and Amras, too.
Outside the walls of Amon Ereb, nothing is changed by those tears. On the banks of the Esgalduin, piles of bones lie mingled: those of the Noldor among those of the Iathrim. In a cart on the way to the Havens, a refugee dies of her wounds that night. In Angband, Morgoth—who knows everything about how Elves and Men crumble and break, except why some last longer than others—settles back on his Throne well satisfied to watch his game play out. But here, in the hall of Amon Ereb, the Kinslayers are returned a little to themselves, to who they were, by their tears, by Maglor's song—ready, in some fashion, to go on living.
Night draws on to morning. In the kitchen of Amon Ereb, Naurthoniel stands, drags her knuckles across reddened cheeks and, looking at depleted shelves, wonders what she is to feed all these people. She will have to talk to Amrod about organizing a hunting expedition, she thinks.
On the dais, in the emptying hall, Maglor still crouches over his harp, silent now, his eyes gritty, his mouth full of lies and ashes. He remembers every sword stroke—all those singers silenced, songs violently cut off. To him comes Maedhros, suddenly appearing beside his chair—and Maglor, looking up into his brother's still, haunted face, sees with a strange relief, mixed with intense regret, that this brother of his he has not been able to help at all, tonight.
'Leave your harp now and walk with me, Kano', says Maedhros, brushing Maglor's shoulder with his fingertips.
At the foot of Amon Ereb, in the early morning, the two brothers Maedhros and Maglor walk through the snow. The ground is lighter than the sky, which is a dusky grey blue. The trees are black.

Petro Zillia Dress (seen on Rachel Bilson in the O.C)
I know that my love of all things girlie means this is very quickly becoming a dress blog (a job which is already taken) but I'm forgiven as this really is the year of the dress and they just can't be avoided. Petro Zillia do a great range of girlie Summer styles. This dotted number with it's shirred top has become a big seller ever since the white version was worn by Summer (aka Rachel Bilson) in an episode of the O.C, and it's now reduced from $355 to $284. Pricey I know, but it is 100% silk.

Summer vacation? Sometimes I think those words are mutually exclusive. Between work and other responsibilities, it can be hard to take a break even during the season of perpetual sunshine. But, of course, I can always dream. And lately, I've been dreaming of hammocks.
Is there anything more relaxing then being gently cradled, suspended mid-air, swaying in the breeze? It's like a mini-vacation in itself and one you can take right at home. Take a look at some fabulous hammocks that would inspire anyone to daydream.
The Kokoon hammock by Olivier Le Pensec for Royal Botania turns lounging into a social affair or provides one decadent solo siesta! Made from teak wood, the hammock is available in white or cappuccino with optional curtains. However, sitting in the lap of luxury doesn't come cheap. Pricing starts at $12,099.
This luxury lounger is aptly called The Floating Bed, and can be suspended from an existing structure or ordered with its own frame. It is also suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Priced from $3,795.00 with mattress and cover.
The Wave hammock by Erik Nyberg and Gustav Strom for Royal Botania is state of the art lounging. It stands on a single point, but is built to withstand strong forces from people and weather alike. It also blocks 86% of the sun's rays. But, like a fine work of art, it comes with a high price: $25, 749.
Thankfully, not all fantasy hammocks are priced outside of most realities. The Nicamaka Couples Hammock is as pretty as it is peaceful. The romantic hammock with a crochet design is built for two and priced at a reasonable $169.99.
And for those that think bean bags are just for kids, check out Le Beanock Flatpacked. This indoor, bean bag hammock is designed to be enjoyed by everyone, and priced at $615.41 most can! Now, where to put it?
Sweet dreams!
