  1. My luck has changed -- I just started college today and lo and behold the library has, like, 3 shelves devoted to Tolkien.

    That's always good. My university has a good collection too, including original issues of the Tolkien society's publication from the 60s and 70s with all sorts of interesting articles!

    That will be helpful for you and interesting as well.

  2. I live quite near to Lake Erie, but it is a really disgusting lake :( And it's so shallow that it freezes over!

    The only good use for it is as a means of trade and commerce, as well as the source for many beautiful rivers and streams that pass near my home, which I hold dear to me.

    The lake itself, as a habitat for wildlife is pretty poor, as it's polluted and tainted. But it's good for recreational boating and decent for fishing, and I've been on several camping/hiking trips to islands in the lake and i've really enjoyed the scenery.

    I've also been to Lake Ontario, Michagan, and Huron, and of all of them, Michigan and Huron are my favorites. (I imagine I'd like superior too)

    Mackinac Island in the channel between the lower and upper peninsulae of Michagan is surrounded by the utterly breathtaking blue and clean waters of Huron and Michigan.

    And where I go to school - Cornell University - is also right next to a large, glacial lake! Cornell is situated on a hill right above Lake Cayuga, one of the biggest of the finger lakes, deep glacial grooves that became lakes. Though it is very narrow, Lake Cayuga is over 600 feet deep in places! They are akin to like scottish lochs I suppose. No underwater sea monsters, unfortunately. :D

    Protect the great lakes.

  3. I just beatmatched and (fake) mixed some tracks on the computer and I've been listening to that.

    I say fake because I don't have enough spare cash to buy turntables and a mixer to do it the "authentic" way. I am cheap and use computer software :D

    01. New Life (Lange Remix) - The Thrillseekers [A Trip in Trance 3.1]

    02. Silence - Delerium

    03. No One on Earth (Gabriel & Dresden Mix) - Above and Beyond [ultra Trance 4.1]

    04. Memory (Original Vocal Mix) - DuMonde vs. Lange [exitnyc.com]

    05. Escape (Phynn Mix) - Fictivision vs. Phynn [A State of Trance 2004, Disc 1]

    06. Mistral (Original Mix) - Gareth Emery (aka GTR) [Five AM Records]

    07. Icarus (Big Al's Club Rework) - Flutlicht [Club Trance]

    08. City to City (S.H.O.K.K. Mix) - Sound of Overdose [Club Trance]

    09. Punk - Ferry Corsten [Digital Punk]

    10. Loco Love - Jas van Houten [ultra Trance 4.2]

    11. Cafe del Mar (Marco V Remix) - Energy 52 [tranceaddict.com]

    Basically all of my current favorite tracks mixed together for neverending trance energy when I work or drive. :(

  4. Definitely.

    We need to look into this, Bernd. We'll have Mikael whip up a quick wizard or something :D

    I think the way this could work is to start a family tree with one person, then in the wizard check a box next to it and add a descendent, etc until it's complete. (and then there are marriages and stuff, etc)

  5. Problem:

    Article had said that Elrond bore Nenya, the Ring of Water, which was actually borne by Galadriel only. Elrond bore Vilya, the Ring of Air, which was originally given to Gil-galad by Celebrimbor and then handed down to Elrond after his fall.

    Solution:

    Changed Nenya to Vilya and added some more background information to flesh it out and provide a link to Elrond's relationship to Gil-galad.

  6. Hey guys.

    So I figured out why the reply buttons were so pixellated and what not.

    I just installed Adobe Photoshop CS and my settings didn't transfer from Photoshop 6

    So I was a moron and my typefaces had no anti-aliasing on, and I didn't notice. So I thought that the pixellation was being caused by the file format, when it was in fact due to me missing this setting.

    Anyways, I hope you're as happy as I am with the improved buttons!

    (By the way, if it wasn't for so many people pointing it out I wouldn't have bothered with it :D)
