4 Fab Beauty Products for Women On The Go
When you've got limited time, these beauty products can be your BFF!
-Molly Gahagan, NewYorkGirlStyle.com
We all know that this time of year is crazy busy, and traveling is a big part of the madness. Hopping on planes, trains, or driving long distances to visit family and friends for the holidays is a regular, and sometimes frequent, occurrence.
As fun and exciting as traveling can be, it can also take a toll on you, both mentally and physically. Air travel especially can leave your skin looking dry, tired and pale. No woman wants to be seen in those holiday family photos looking like that. Here are some of our favorite products to keep you looking cute and refreshed despite dry airplane air, snow, long hours of travel, and minimal sleep.
1.Hand cream.
The best way to keep skin moist and from dehydrating is to regularly use moisturizing lotion. Hands become especially cracked and dry through the winter, so grab a travel size tube of hand lotion to throw in your travel bag. Bliss High Intensity Hand Cream To Go ($8, sephora.com). This hand lotion is great because it hydrates hands without being greasy, and smooths out those rough cuticles.
2. Eye treatment.
Lack of sleep leaves eyes puffy and can accentuate dark circles, as well as create new ones. Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Pen ($20, skyniceland.com). It gets rid of fine lines, puffiness, dark circles, and soothes and revitalizes skin with all-natural ingredients.
3. Makeup removing wipes.
Sephora Express Cleansing Wipes ($9, sephora.com) and are great to have on hand while you fly to keep you feeling fresh during a long flight. The pop up wipes are easy to use to wash your face and hands, washing away the grimy feeling you get when you travel. Plus, they can help keep you free of nasty cold germs during those winter months.
4. Travel toothbrush.
Brushing your teeth while on the go can make you feel much more refreshed than just popping a mint or stick of gum. All drugstores and most other general convenience and grocery stores sell travel toothbrushes, so it is super easy to pick one up, along with a travel tube of toothpaste, and throw it in your travel bag. Colgate Wisp portable mini brush ($7.99 for 16, drugstore.com) are small enough to fit into a pocket, yet work as well as a regular sized tooth brush. Best of all, they're pre-loaded with toothpaste-no need to buy it!
Tell us: how do you keep yourself feeling refreshed while traveling?

Carthagena Road work hits utility pole snag
A half million dollar project to upgrade a portion of Carthagena Road this summer was temporarily foiled after the Mercer County Engineer's office discovered a costly obstacle: electric poles.
County commissioners Jerry Laffin and John Bruns on Tuesday opted to reject all six bids received for the roadwork after learning the cost to relocate numerous utility poles along the 4-mile stretch would reach more than $1 million. The expense would rest on the shoulders of the engineer's office, and that cost was not figured in the totals.
"We didn't allot that kind of money for this," county Engineer Jim Wiechart said.
In most cases, utility companies are obligated to move their poles at their own cost when road projects - particularly widening projects - are planned. However, in this instance, Dayton Power & Light in the 1940s acquired separate utility easements with the involved landowners. The easements allowed the company to put the poles just outside the county's existing right of way, Wiechart explained.
By law, the signed easements are worded to exempt the utility company from footing the bill for the relocation of the poles in the future, he said.
"We still have the legal right to ask the utility to relocate the poles but it would be at our own expense," he said.
Instead, the engineer's office recommended the poles remain in place and the project plan be altered. The commissioners later this week are expected to announce a new date for accepting and opening bids for the altered project.
Construction estimates likely will be higher, Wiechart said.
"This changes the scope of the work significantly," he said. "It impacts the type of work, which likely will impact the cost and the time to complete the job."
The work involves a stretch of Carthagena Road from Burkettsville-St. Henry Road to U.S. 127. Crews will perform shoulder widening, base stone widening, side ditch reconstruction and pipe and culvert replacements.
The job is partially funded by a $300,000, no-interest loan through the Ohio Public Works Commission. The remaining amount will be paid from the engineer's office budget.

Baseball roundup: Dominguez's three-run home run rallies Astros
Updated 11:51 pm, Friday, September 7, 2012
Matt Dominguez hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning Friday night that broke Aroldis Chapman's streak of 27 consecutive saves and powered the visiting Houston Astros to a 5-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Chapman (5-5) took a 3-2 lead into the ninth, but had his club-record streak broken by a player swinging with a sore left hand.
Tyler Greene and J.D. Martinez singled off Chapman with one out. Dominguez, out of the starting lineup because of the sore hand, hit Chapman's second pitch for his second career homer and the fourth off the hard-throwing left-hander this season.
Chapman is 35 of 40 in save chances overall.
Hector Ambriz (1-0) got two outs in the eighth. Wilton Lopez pitched the ninth for his third save in six chances.
It was the sixth time the Reds' bullpen — the best in the NL — failed to close out a win for Homer Bailey, leaving him stuck at 10 victories.
Bailey pitched into the seventh inning, giving up two runs on a first-inning homer by Justin Maxwell.
Ryan Ludwick had a two-run single, and Jay Bruce singled home the tiebreaking run in the fifth off Lucas Harrell, allowing Cincinnati to hand the lead to the NL's top bullpen.
The Reds had Joey Votto back at first base for the second straight game. Votto missed 48 games because of torn cartilage in his left knee. He flied out and drew three walks, one of them intentional.
Although Votto was back, the Reds were without third baseman Scott Rolen, who is out with back inflammation.
Yankees 8, Orioles 5: Alex Rodriguez hit his 300th home run with the Yankees, Russell Martin and Steve Pearce also homered, and visiting New York regained sole possession of first place in the AL East.
Braves 3, Mets 0: Paul Maholm and the Braves bullpen combined to give visiting Atlanta three straight shutouts for the first time in exactly a decade.
Phillies 3, Rockies 2: Nate Schierholtz hit an RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift host Philadelphia.
Marlins 9, Nationals 7 (10): Stephen Strasburg matched his career low by lasting only three innings in what was likely his final home start of the season, allowing five runs for host Washington.
Royals 7, White Sox 5: Lorenzo Cain hit two home runs, including a tie-breaking, two-run shot in the ninth inning, for host Kansas City.
Blue Jays 7, Red Sox 5: Edwin Encarnacion hit one of Toronto's three homers, and Henderson Alvarez broke his six-game winless streak for visiting Toronto.
Indians 7, Twins 6: Russ Canzler hit his first major league homer, and reliever David Huff won his first game this season for visiting Cleveland.

A raw look at a Slovak Romany girl's sad trajectory from textile factory novice to sex worker.
A raw look at a Slovak Romany girl's sad trajectory from textile factory novice to sex worker, "Made in Ash" is tough filmmaking that will have limited appeal even for fest audiences, but still signals the emergence of a helmer to watch in Iveta Grofova. Formerly a documaker, Grofova employs non-pro thesps in authentic settings, but makes few concessions toward making them likable. Her occasional use of animation to suggest the protagonist's emotions is eye-catching, but seems at odds with the girl's character.
With no work available locally, naive, Dorotka (Dorotka Billa) travels to the Czech town of Ash, near the German border, where foreign girls like her toil long hours as seamstresses and live in crowded hostels. Far too pliable, she falls under the influence of her hustler roommate (Silvia Halusicova), who pimps her as a sexual partner for an unattractive, older German man (Robin Schmidt), one of many who cross the border to sexually exploit financially strapped Eastern European women. When Robin proves no Prince Charming, the local stripper bar and turning tricks along the highway look like Dorotka's best options. Occasional lyrical moments accent the gritty lensing.Made in Ash

Missytetra Joined: 01 Feb 2009 Posts: 173 | I can't quite remember what it looks like from the back but I'm pretty sure you'll get a similar one on eBay (though beware, not all the wigs are good), Cosworx, or Amphigory.com. I commission wigs also, there are plenty of examples of my wigs on my costumes page (unfortunately there are a few wigs I've commissioned that I don't have up there since I never took photos- what was I thinking?!) and also, there are a couple other people who style wigs on cosplayisland ^^
If you want to give it a go yourself, just find a nice short wig that has a natural looking feel and gently use a hair glue to part it or brush it back around the head the way you want to whilst wearing it. It doesn't look like it requires too much styling ^^ If you want me to source you a decent wig on eBay or another site, I can recommed which to go for on your budget. In short, let me know how I can help! __________________ xx Tetra xx |

Beckoning our weary souls
Like Lewis, I had come to faith through reason, yet I knew that a God for all people must be an infinitely accessible God. I was to discover that a God who prizes humility would offer humility, as He offers everything else, in abundance. He asks only that we come to Him; it matters not if our path to Him leads through doubt, despair, fear, joy, or reason. The door remains forever opened, beckoning our weary souls to enter and rest. His Grace is the Gift of Gifts

GW Volleyball Outlasts Elon, 3-2, in Five-Set Triumph
Goss and Williams Combine For 27 Kills; Colonials Visit Georgetown Wednesday
Sep 7, 2013
WASHINGTON - The George Washington volleyball team departed the UCF Classic with a winning record after outlasting Elon in a five-set thriller on Saturday afternoon at The Venue at UCF. Set scores were 16-25, 25-23, 18-25, 25-22, 15-11.
It was the second time this weekend that the Colonials won in five sets after Friday's win over then-undefeated Stephen F. Austin.
Senior Rachael Goss and freshman Loren Williams each posted double-digit kills with Goss adding 14 digs for her second double-double performance of the weekend. Williams finished with 12 winners along with three blocks (two solo, one assist).
GW (3-3) struggled offensively in the first set before tying the match with a 25-23 win in the second. The Colonials were in danger of falling behind 2-0 in the match when faced with a 23-21 deficit late in the frame, but rattled off four straight points to tie the match at 1-1.
Elon (2-5) regained momentum in the third as the Colonials fell into an offensive slump, hitting just .029 with eight attack errors.
GW turned the tables in the fourth set, recording 14 kills against just one error (.481) and posting four blocks to once again tie the match. After being tied at 20-20, the Colonials closed on a 5-2 run to force a decisive fifth set.
The fifth set was a point-for-point battle until the score was tied at 10-10. From there, the Colonials once again applied the pressure and closed the set on a 5-1 run, including two clutch service aces from sophomore Maddy Doyle, to clinch the victory.
Doyle paced the defense with a match-high 20 digs and added three aces while the Colonials posted 11 team blocks, the second time this weekend recording double-digit rejections.
Freshman Chidima Osuchukwu, junior Gabrial Rushton and Williams each contributed two solo blocks apiece. Osuchukwu added six kills without an error while Rushton posted five kills with just one miscue.
The Colonials will make the short trip to Georgetown for a non-conference clash with the Hoyas at McDonough Arena on Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m.

Should you not get a scholarship for the scholars program, you always have the option to be a "self-prep". Self-preps are a rare breed of individuals that enroll themselves in a prep school and pay the tuition out of pocket with the hopes of getting good grades, reapplying to the Academy and earning their appointment. My roommate at prep school, who is now one of my best friends, was a self-prep. The reality is that it could be financially demanding and full of uncertainty because you don't know if you will get an appointment. What self-preps usually do is apply to different academies with the hopes of one accepting them. For example, my buddy applied to the Naval Academy, Merchant Marine Academy and CGA. He got into MMA and CGA and ultimately chose CGA. Self-preps will usually take the same courses as the other preps and will also do the same extracurriculars and physical training. If I had to guess, I would say at least four self-preps are accepted every year.
You don't always have to attend a military prep school after high school to earn your appointment. I've seen people take all different routes. Some decide to attend a community college or state school for a year or two and find out if college is not for them and then apply to the Academy. You just have to make sure that you take challenging courses and perform well. Another route you could take is to go enlisted and then apply for the Academy after serving a few years. OCS (Officer Candidate School) is also always an option.

A Cuesta College theater student won a makeup design award at Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival's regional competition for colleges in the western United States.
Sarah Harwood, a San Luis Obispo resident who graduated from Morro Bay High, earned the Stagecraft Institute of Las Vegas One-Week Internship Award for her contributions to Cuesta Drama Department's fall production of "The Snow Queen."
The award honors a student who displays potential for future success and would benefit from a week at Stagecraft Institute, an 8-week intensive training program that uses state-of-the-art live entertainment productions in Las Vegas as a learning lab to train the next generation of working theatrical professionals.
"Sarah was an acting student of mine 10 years ago," said drama instructor bree valle. "She went away and trained at the Margolis Brown Adaptors Company, a very high-profile training program on the East Coast. She has always has been doing makeup, special effects makeup and worked on a couple of films. For 'The Snow Queen' she focused on makeup."
Harwood was among six Cuesta students who attended the regional competition held Feb. 13-16 at the Los Angeles Theatre Center and returned with scholarships or job offers. KCACTF's Region VIII includes colleges and universities in California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and Hawaii.
Kyle Doust, 30, was also recognized for his work on "The Snow Queen." The Los Osos resident was named a finalist in Theatrical Design Excellence in Scenery category that provides student designers feedback from professionals working in the field.
Three student actors who performed in last spring's production of "The Three Musketeers" were invited to compete for scholarships.
Greg Thelkeld and Chris Kamas received scholarships to California State University Summer Institute in Stage Combat, while Nik Johnson got a job offer to perform with the Missoula Children's Theatre in Montana after successful auditions.
In addition, Kate Sachen, a graduate of Nipomo High School, received a job offer to act at the Neil Simon Festival in Cedar City, Utah, following an open-call audition.
"We are very proud of our students and faculty for promoting excellence," valle said. "Our showing at the competition says that we provide some of the best training available, and that our program is aligned with some of the best, well-funded programs in the nation."
The Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival is a national program dedicated to the improvement of collegiate theater in the United States. Focused on the celebration of diverse and exciting theater, the organization involves more than 18,000 students at over 600 colleges and universities in eight regions of the nation.

Tests find radiation in Spokane's milk
WASHINGTON — Low levels of radiation have turned up in milk samples from two West Coast states.
Traces of radioactive Iodine-131 were found in milk in California and Washington, according to federal and state authorities who are monitoring for contamination as the nuclear crisis unfolds in Japan. But officials say the levels are still 5,000 times below levels of concern and do not represent a public health threat.

I mean why he wasn't a pichu ?is this means that he was at least 26lvl ?what was this kind of pokeball pikachu was in ,back in Oak's lab ? anime pikachu asked Sep 26, 2012 by DarkStar Give Devil's Advocate best answer. No.... Ok, it is over. Can you all hide these comments?? The Mods will do it later anyways, so just save them the work. Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 3 Answers 5 votes Best answer Pichu did not exist until Gen II, so that would be impossible. If you are asking why wasn't Pichu a part of Gen I, Maybe the idea of baby Pokemon came later on. Or maybe Professor Oak could not find a Light Ball. Level 26?? Pichu evolves into Pikachu when he has maximum happiness. Pikachu could have been Level 2. However, this is irrelevent because there are no such things as Levels in the anime. As for the ball, it just looks like a Pokeball with a sticker on it. Maybe to identify it as the one containig Pikachu. There is nothing about it online, this was just my guess. answered Sep 26, 2012 by 5th of November selected Sep 26, 2012 by DarkStar Maybe this symbol it's a seal . Then other people of the time would have used it. Seals did not see use for ALOT later. I'll decide later about the ba What's with the huge pic xD Just to show the Pokeball and how it is not that different from a regular one. i actually cropped it a bit. I see. Well, you deserve BA anyway. You're the only one who didn't fight. Well.THE BA IS YOURS !!!CONGRATULATIONS!!! if pokemons in the anime DID have levels pikachu would be level 6 Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes I will answer.There wasnt a pichu in gen1,there was only a pikachu.So oak gave him a pikachu.Pokemon levels dont exist in the anime.So it could have been any level.Pikachu was in a standard pokeball. answered Sep 26, 2012 by Exca le roi Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Ok, I'll answer this as responsibly as I can...

Nanostructures Boost Battery Life Fivefold
Some of the most promising battery chemistries — which, in theory, could store several times more energy than today's lithium-ion batteries and cost much less — have a fatal flaw. They can't be recharged very often before they stop working, making them useless for applications such as electric vehicles. Now researchers at Stanford have created novel nanostructures that greatly increase the number of times one of these chemistries can be recharged, even to levels high enough for many commercial applications.
Whereas previous research reports have celebrated the ability to recharge a lithium-sulfur battery 150 times, the Stanford researchers recharged their battery 1,000 times and still retained substantial energy storage capacity. In some electric vehicle configurations, that would be enough to last several years. Commercial versions of the batteries could approximately double battery storage compared to lithium-ion batteries, says Yi Cui, a professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford. The batteries retained 81% of their capacity after 500 cycles and 67% after 1,000 cycles. Cui says that the nanomaterials can be made with simple methods that lend themselves to high-volume manufacturing.
The nanostructures address two problems with previous lithium-sulfur batteries. When lithium-sulfur batteries are discharged, sulfur combines with lithium to form lithium sulfide, and when it's charged, sulfur forms again. But the reaction isn't direct. A number of intermediate compounds called polysulfides are formed. If these polysulfides migrate out of an electrode, the reactions aren't completed, which limits the amount of energy the battery can store. Over several recharging cycles, these intermediate products accumulate, reducing battery capacity more.
Several researchers have demonstrated that various nanostructures can help trap the polysulfides within an electrode, but these designs run up against a second problem with lithium-sulfur batteries. The sulfur swells and can damage the nanostructures, allowing the polysulfides to escape.
The researchers started by making spherical nanoparticles of sulfur and coating them with a titanium-oxide shell that's designed to trap the polysulfides to keep them from migrating out of an electrode. They then dissolved part of the sulfur, creating space inside the shell. That space gives the sulfur room to expand without cracking the titanium-oxide shell.
While the material may be good enough for some applications, electric vehicle batteries would ideally retain 80% of their capacity for as many as 3,000 charging cycles, which would allow complete recharges almost every day for the life of a car, so the researchers are continuing to look for ways to increase the number of charges and total energy storage capacity.
The group, which published its results today in Nature Communications, is also working to address safety concerns with the lithium metal used in the batteries. (Cui is also developing a related battery chemistry — lithium sulfide — that avoids the use of lithium metal.)
"There's lot of research and optimization that still needs to be done," Cui says.

Macarons from Ladurée, Paris
pistachio, salted caramel, vanilla, cassis-violette, incroyables strawberry candy, chestnut, rose, violet
got a pleasant surprise when i saw the flavors she bought! besides my favorite pistachio and rose, there were also three of them (strawberry candy, violet & hazelnut) from the 'incroyables' range made to commemorate their 150th anniversary. the strawberry candy macaron has got a marshmallow filling and a dusting of pink sugar on top. its also my favorite coz the strawberry flavor really packs a punch. i also like the cassis-violette which has a distinctive floral aroma. they were also not that sweet. i only have one complaint - the macarons were more crispy than chewy and some of them were even crumbly. not sure if they were supposed to be like that but i gobbled them down anyway!
i also took a picture with my phone which i uploaded onto instagram. the colors were so pretty! having owned the ladurée sucre book for awhile now, i think i wanna try attempting the macaron recipe next.

AMD's Plan of Attack
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Chairman and CEO Hector Ruiz is basking in a year of unprecedented profit and revenue growth at the world's second-largest chipmaker. AMD also has been gaining market share in key segments of the server chip business and at retail against its giant rival Intel (see BW Online, 6/12/06, "AMD: Chipping Away At Intel's Lead"). Its biggest win to date came in May, when Dell, the last major holdout to buying its chips, announced it would begin selling AMD-based servers later this year (see BW Online, 5/19/06, "AMD Inside"). Still, the Sunnyvale (Calif.) company looks to face tougher going in just a few short weeks as Intel (INTC) rolls out the first in a series of powerful, energy-sipping chips called Core 2.
After AMD laid out its own road map for continuing its gains during its June 1 technology-analyst day, BusinessWeek Technology Correspondent Cliff Edwards quizzed Ruiz about the strategy and challenges ahead. Central to Ruiz's approach is increasing AMD's number of partnerships with software vendors and other chipmakers such as Nvidia (NVDA), Atheros (ATHR), and Broadcom (BRCM).
All those companies face challenges from Intel's platform strategy, in which it bundles microprocessors with graphic chips, wireless chips, and software to take a larger share of the business away from them. To combat that, AMD announced it would open its architecture to such partners, letting them bake their technology into AMD parts more closely, ideally meaning that they will work better together. The following are edited excerpts of their exchange:
You introduced a plan, called Torrenza, that sounds like your answer to Intel's platform approach, where you team up with other companies to create what you call "open platforms." What kind of reception are you seeing from this approach?
Customers are finding the fact that we are opening up our architecture very attractive. There are some segments where raw chip performance is important, but that's a small segment of the market. As [Intel] closes the technology gap, it will be a much tighter race, but we're going to introduce a really new architecture that will work well with our partners for the best performance. We're going to start sampling it at the end of 2007 and roll it out in 2008.
Once again, we're going to distance ourselves from them. The good news for customers: [Intel is] getting better, but it's not a new architecture. We're in the throes of finalizing the architecture we're going to introduce next, and that's going to be killer.
That may be true, but Intel is accelerating its road map. It looks like you'll be months behind in terms of process technology over the next few years, which could give them some performance advantages. How do you fight that perception in the marketplace?
We were a year behind in 90 nanometers and nobody ever asked me if Opteron (AMD's server chip) was a 65-nanometer chip or 90-nanometer chip. They just asked, "How well does Opteron perform?" -- and they liked what they saw!
I don't see that as very different this time around. We're going to have great products and people are not going to care.
Where do you see your main points of attack, though?
I'm following the George Patton philosophy. We're not going to defend [trash], we're just going to attack, attack, attack. We're going to attack in servers, desktop, mobile...everywhere. We're not interested in defending. Somebody asked [Patton], "Hey, should we dig a trench or a hole?" He said, "You do that, you die." Same thing here.
Don't you think Intel will be much more competitive this time around, given that it's more a technology game?
When we introduced Athlon (in 1999), that was a better product. They reacted by making a Pentium 4, saying we're going to go all the way to 10 gigahertz. That didn't work.
This crummy architecture they called the Pentium 4, they struggled with. They're now introducing a new set of products, but it's still the same basic architecture. They have a better core, but I think what's happening is the battle is no longer about the core. Customers are looking for architectural performance, innovation.
Before the Dell (DELL) win, AMD won some customers with an almost anti-Dell pitch, or "how you can differentiate from Dell" pitch. Is there some concern that customers like HP (HPQ), Sun (SUNW), and the like might start backing off on using AMD parts?
We have stated often that we would like to have Dell as an AMD customer, and are very pleased that Dell has decided to offer servers based on AMD. We look forward to working with Dell to continue to address how they can meet their customers' needs using AMD64 processor technology.
Our relationship with our OEM (original equipment manufacturer) partners has never been stronger, and they are expanding their AMD-based product lines. They understand and realize that it's important for our long-term growth and success to support Dell as a customer.
The company's two top executives are constantly in China and South America. How important will that relationship be going forward? What percent of revenues is international now, and what percent are you targeting in the next five years?
Our international revenues are roughly 70 percent and this number will increase over time. China, India, South America, South Asia are the future -- China in particular. We believe we need to be successful in China if we are to be successful overall.
The challenge is how very differently each country is developing. Many of the smaller towns in each of these areas have inconsistent power and limited broadband, but in a few years they will be the backbone of the India PC industry. This is probably how Proctor & Gamble (PG) felt when they were bringing sundries to America's frontiers. We are an important part in connecting the world, and we will participate and lead where the growth is occurring.

- "You were born at the end of a great age, Elanorellë"
- ― Samwise Gamgee, Sauron Defeated, The Epilogue
Elanor Fairbairn (née Gamgee or Gardner) was the first child of Master Samwise Gamgee and his wife Rose Cotton.
Called "The Fair" for her golden hair, she was born March 25th, 1421 by Shire Reckoning (which would be Third Age 3021), which was at the same time the first day of the Fourth Age in Gondor. Elanor was also the only one of Samwise's children known to the Ringbearer, Frodo Baggins, and her name was a suggestion by him, a reference to the sun-star, a little golden flower blooming in the land of Lothlórien — this perfectly satisfied Sam's desire for a name that was both Elvish and yet at the same time a simple flower-name as many hobbit-lasses had.
In 1436 Elanor became a maid of honor to Queen Arwen Evenstar, and in 1451 she married Fastred of Greenholm. Four years later Fastred was named Warden of Westmarch by the Thain at the request of Samwise. Elanor and her husband then moved to the Undertowers on the Tower Hills where their family (becoming known as the Fairbairns of the Towers) would live for many generations.
After her father's passing to the Undying Lands in 1482, Elanor and her line became the keepers of the Red Book of Westmarch. Her two children were Elfstan, born in 1454, and Fíriel.
Other versions of the Legendarium
Besides her presence as an infant in the last chapter of the published The Lord of the Rings, and the details noted in the appendices of that book, Elanor's most significant role was in the two versions of the written but unpublished epilogue of Lord of the Rings, later published in The History of Middle-earth volumes. In that epilogue we see Elanor talk with her father about the importance of the events that transpired in the story and also about the coming of King Elessar and Queen Arwen for a visit. Elanor's affectionate name for her father is "Sam-dad", while Sam calls her "Elanorellë".
Portrayal in Adaptations
1981: BBC Radio's The Lordo f the Rings:
- Elanor can be heard crying as Frodo (Ian Holm) tells Sam (Bill Nighy) that he must go on with his life. The crying is actually by Holm's son, Harry.
'2003: Peter Jackson's The Return of the King
- Elanor was played by Alexandra Astin, the daughter of Sean Astin.

Post-graduate fellowships provide a variety of opportunities for recent Colorado Law graduates. Certain fellowships are tied to work for particular entities (e.g., the Denver City Attorney's Office), and others provide funding for work with judges and government organizations. Read the fellowship information carefully as there are significant variations among the programs.
Where can I get information about deadlines for specific fellowships?
We encourage you to review fellowship announcements and CDOnline postings carefully for the most current information, including application requirements.
Are fellows eligible for health insurance?
Generally, individuals who are selected for graduate fellowships are not eligible for health insurance benefits; however, some graduate fellowships may provide health insurance, so please carefully review all program-specific materials.
How are fellows paid?
Generally, recipients receive fellowship funding through the law school's payroll system. Required payroll taxes will be deducted. Recipients must complete payroll paperwork and come to the Dean's Suite to show a photo ID and Social Security card. However, some graduate fellowships have a different funding structure, so you should carefully review all program-specific materials.
Who should I contact if I have questions?
Please email questions to Dean Leary at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The David H. Getches Native American and Natural Resources Law Fellowship was made available as the result of a generous gift from the Wyss Foundation. The Getches Fellowship will support a recent Colorado Law School graduate in carrying out a project that addresses a significant issue or issues of importance in Native American and/or natural resources law. The fellowship will be awarded through a competitive process to an applicant who demonstrates a sincere interest in pursuing a career in the field of Native American or natural resources law. The awardee will be hired by the University of Colorado Law School to work with the Natural Resources Law Center, in conjunction with the Center, or with a non–governmental organization, or Indian tribe, under the supervision of the Center.
A preference will be given to proposals that will allow the applicant to work at the law school and that address land and water conservation and stewardship and sound natural resource management in Indian country, and that have as at least one objective illuminating such issues for the benefit of tribal governments. Applicants may develop their own proposals but should consult with the appropriate organization with whom they wish to work and the Natural Resources Law Center to ensure the feasibility of the project. Applicants must have a mentor (faculty or other) who will provide guidance and help ensure that the fellow will succeed in the project.
Salary is $4,000 per month for 12-15 months. Start date is flexible but sooner is better (early August at the latest). The position is full-time, but someone who wanted to work part-time for a couple of months while studying for the bar exam might be accomodated. Salary would be prorated accordingly.
Through this fellowship program, recent graduates (the "Fellows") of the University of Colorado Law School ("Colorado Law") work full-time for, and under the supervision of, the Denver City Attorney's Office (the "DCAO"). Colorado Law and the DCAO expect this program to provide meaningful work experience to the Fellows and the Fellows to provide valuable work to the DCAO.
Fellows work for one year, beginning in the fall (employment is at will, with the understanding that the DCAO may continue to employ any of the Fellows beyond the duration of the program).
Currently, there are six Fellows, and each works for one of the following divisions of the DCAO:
Fellows must be hard-working, energetic, able to connect effectively with clients and colleagues, and capable of handling significant responsibility immediately. In addition, Fellows must contribute to the diverse and creative thinking of the DCAO and must show initiative and seek out projects and feedback.
When the DCAO is accepting applications for this program (typically a cover letter, resume, and writing sample), we will email the graduating class and post the opportunities in CDOnline. Representatives of the DCAO will review and screen applications, interview finalists, and select the Fellows. Applicants may apply to more than one of the divisions of the DCAO.
Through the Judicial Fellowship Program ("JFP"), Colorado Law hires recent Colorado Law graduates to work up to 500 hours each for judges, courts, or certain government agencies during the months of October through March. The JFP is meant to provide recent graduates with meaningful work experience; enable recent graduates to focus on professional development while seeking long-term, full-time employment; facilitate networking and resume development that will further recent graduates' career and employment goals; and serve the legal community, particularly the judiciary.
Members of the Class of 2016 (including December 2015 graduates) can apply for the JFP beginning September 1, 2016. We consider applications on a rolling basis, and encourage interested applicants to apply as soon as possible after September 1.
Information about the 2016-2017 JFP is available on our Judicial Fellowship Program page.

COLLINGBOURNE Ducis trainer Hannon's big guns are nearing their return to action at Royal Ascot with Toronado and Sky Lantern coming to the boil nicely.
Toronado has not been seen since August when he failed to stay 10 furlongs in the Juddmonte International at York but previously he had beaten Dawn Approach in the Sussex Stakes, after being touched off by that same rival in the St James's Palace Stakes.
Sky Lantern won the 1000 Guineas, Coronation Stakes and Sun Chariot in a stellar campaign last summer but trailed in last when taken over to Sha Tin for the Hong Kong Mile.
"Toronado went to Newbury the other day and worked very well, he's on target for the Queen Anne," Hannon, who has bases at Everleigh and Herridge, told At The Races.
"He's always been a horse that excites. Trainer, owner, jockey, gallop watcher, whatever you are if he doesn't get your blood up then it's pretty sure nothing else will.
"Sky Lantern is in the Queen Anne and Windsor Forest (Duke of Cambridge). They worked separately and she worked very well, I was very pleased with her.
"She needs to be taken away as she gets very fat, that was the reason we managed to get her beat in a trial last year. She's actually heavier than Toronado would you believe and he's massive.
"She'd need a couple more bits yet, but she's in good form."
One unlikely to be part of the team, however, is Lockinge winner Olympic Glory who was beaten when stepped up in trip for the Prix d'Ispahan behind Cirrus Des Aigles a few days after his Newbury triumph..
"I would say Olympic Glory didn't stay in France, if he'd stayed he should have been second. I don't think the race came too quickly, he's able to deal with that as physically he's very strong and mentally he's very strong as well," said Hannon.
"He's run good races round there, he's won a Grade One there, but he couldn't have stayed.
"We've left him in the Queen Anne but it's more than likely that if Toronado goes there he'll go for the Jacques le Marois."

ARDMORE, Pa. - Play has been suspended for the day at the U.S. Open, with Phil Mickelson and Billy Horschel tied for the lead.
Mickelson birdied the 18th late Friday to finish a 2-over round of 72. Horschel shot 3-under 67, hitting all 18 greens in regulation at Merion Golf Club.
Their 1-under totals of 139 made them the only players under par for the tournament; nearly half the field had yet to complete the second round, which was halted because of darkness.
Horschel was 1 under with a 139 total, posting one of the few red numbers on a trying day for much of the field. He missed the cut in his only previous U.S. Open, in 2006, but recently won for the first time on the PGA Tour at the Zurich Classic.
"I've acquired some patience, not as much as I wish I had," said the 26-yeaar-old from Jacksonville Beach, Fla. "But I just think that the older I get, the more mature I get on the golf course, the more understanding that if I do have a bad stretch of holes, it's not that I don't hit the panic button, I just don't press right away."
Phil Mickelson held the solo lead for much of the afternoon, but he missed birdie chances during a streak of 10 consecutive pars. He then 3-putted No. 12 for a bogey and dropped another stroke when he put his tee shot in the sand on the short par-3 13th, the easiest hole on the course.
Seconds later, Steve Stricker, playing in Mickelson's group, sank a birdie putt from about 15 feet to move into a tie with Horschel for the lead. Justin Rose was also at 1 under on the back nine.
Hoping to build on his own 67 from Thursday, Mickelson put his first shot in a bunker and 3-putted the first hole for a bogey. He was in rough and sand at No. 2, but he recovered to start the run of pars, avoiding even the distraction of a groundhog - a relative of Punxsutawney Phil? - who made a mad dash across the fairway at No. 6. Mickelson lipped out a 4-foot birdie putt at No. 8.
A five-time runner-up seeking his first U.S. Open title, Mickelson had the luxury of a late tee time, much needed after he showed up with just a few hours to spare for the opening round so he could attend his daughter's eighth-grade graduation in California. It turned out to be a gift. While Mickelson was able to rest Friday morning, much of the field endured the ordeal of finishing a delayed first round followed by a second round with little break in between.
By the time Mickelson teed off, only he and Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts were under par. Colsaerts shot a 69 in the first round, but he fell off the pace Friday with three bogeys on the front nine.
As for the weather, the sun stayed around for most of the afternoon after play began in a cool drizzle that was far gentler than the storms that interrupted play twice on Thursday. The fallout from all the rain was a cramped schedule, complicated because the course requires long shuttle rides to move the players to and fro. It also left players and spectators spackled in mud from their shoes on up.
The must-see group of Tiger Woods, Adam Scott and Rory McIlroy was at times a hard-to-watch bunch - perhaps even for Woods' ski champion girlfriend Lindsey Vonn, who was part of the gallery.
The trio combined to shoot 14 over at the halfway mark. Woods' troublesome left elbow flared up again, and he hit a chip from just off the green that traveled barely a foot while making bogey at the par-4 7th.
Woods then dropped his left hand off the club and shook his wrist while putting his tee shot wide of the fairway at No. 8, just as he had done several times on Thursday. The arm clearly bothered him again on the next shot, which he put in the rough near the green. He saved par on the hole and finished a second-round 70 that left him at 3 over for the tournament, still in contention if he can stay healthy.
"It's hard with the wind and the pin locations," Woods said. "They're really tough. ... We didn't think they were going to be as severe as they are."
Woods was tight-lipped about his elbow, saying only that it first bothered him at the Players Championship five weeks ago. Asked what he felt, he answered: "Pain."
Masters champion Scott fell apart quickly, all but quashing any hope for a Grand Slam. He was 3 under when first-round play was suspended Thursday, but he hit a hard-luck Merion shot at No. 12: an approach that landed just short of the pin, spun backward and rolled some 75 feet to the edge of the fairway rough. He also put a tee shot out of bounds at No. 14 to complete a first-round 72, then came back after the short turnaround to post a 76, 8 over, through two rounds.
"I got off on the wrong foot and just struggled to find my rhythm all day," Scott said. "I didn't make the putts I needed to kind of save some shots here and there. And they just slipped away too easily. But that's what can happen if you're just a little bit off."
McIlroy had quite the adventure, putting his drive at No. 4 onto the No. 8 fairway. Once he got back to the correct hole, he put a shot in a bunker and bogeyed the par 5. His second-round 70 left him at 3 over.
"I'm very happy. Right in there for the weekend," McIlroy said. "I don't think I'll be too far away by the end of the day."
Then there was Luke Donald, who actually pulled ahead of Mickelson at 4 under with back-to-back birdies, including a chip-in at the par-3 13th during his second round. But Merion took him apart on the front nine when he bogeyed four consecutive holes, turning his number from red to black. His second-round 72 left him at even-par.
Coming into the Open, the question was how Merion would fare against a modern-day championship field. It last hosted this event in 1981, with the thinking that today's golfers had outgrown the course.
Certainly, the 301-yard par-3 10th and 102-yard par-3 13th yielded their share of makeable shots, but pre-tournament concerns about scores in the low 60s seem totally unwarranted.
"It's very difficult to make those putts," Donald said, "when the ball is breaking so much."
