Brighton College would like to place cookies on your computer to help us provide you with a better website experience and to enable us to improve our website. Please find further information in our Cookie Summary.
We acknowledge that pupils who are learning English as an additional language have skills and knowledge similar to monolingual English-speaking pupils. Their ability to participate in the full curriculum may be in advance of their communicative skills in English. Therefore, we aim to provide work commensurate with their understanding, but provide language support in the form of visual aids, use of symbols/pictures, gestures, demonstrations, paired working, ICT, readers, buddies and so forth. We also provide games and activities in which speech is irrelevant, and which can provide a means of expression and communication. The importance of the 'silent period' in the emergent language phase is recognised and so pupils are encouraged to set the pace of their oral contributions and degree of participation. In some cases, EAL staff may provide additional support for the pupil in the classroom or the pupil may be withdrawn for specific language input as necessary.
The EAL department's over-reaching aim is to provide all pupils with a language rich learning environment in order to achieve this goal we:
1:1 and 2:1 support – Pupils are withdrawn from MFL time to work in the Senior School EAL room on personalized language learning targets with Senior EAL teachers or Senior EAL Learning Support Assistant (LSA), under planning guidance from the EAL teachers.
Small group support – Pupils are withdrawn in small groups, either working towards specific EAL targets or under the direction of the subject teacher, to work with an LSA in the more focused learning environment of the senior EAL classroom.
In class support – The Senior LSA works in conjunction with the teacher in class to support learning in the mainstream.
EAL Department runs lunchtime and afterschool ECAs to meet the needs of the pupils, many of whom it is difficult to extract from mainstream teaching.
The EAL team offer support and strategies to all staff to implement in class for pupils with EAL needs even if they are not withdrawn for support.
Cambridge English Language Assessment is part of the University of Cambridge and has been providing English language assessments and qualifications for over 100 years. The Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE) is an upper-intermediate qualification. It covers use of English in real-life situations and study environments. Learners are expected to understand the main ideas of complex texts taken from a range of sources (such as magazines, news articles and fiction), demonstrate different writing styles (such as emails, essays, letters or short stories), follow a range of spoken materials (such as news programmes and public announcements), and keep up in conversations on a wide range of topics, expressing opinions, presenting arguments and producing spontaneous spoken language. The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world's most popular English language test for higher education. IELTS is accepted by thousands of universities and colleges in the UK, Canada, Australia and the USA, which use it as a standard entrance requirement. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is a standardised test of English language proficiency for non-native English language speakers wishing to enroll in U.S. universities. Many English-speaking academic and professional institutions accept the test. Brighton College Abu Dhabi is proud to offer both world-class English proficiency certifications to our Senior School pupils.

th December after their Christmas Dinner evening. The hall at St Andrews church provided a lovely setting for some festive spirit and singing. Along with some barbershop classics and some more modern arrangements, we spanned the 20th Century with some Christmas songs influenced by some of the major events. Silent Night from WW1, Judy Garland's 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' from WW2 and, of course, the American explosion of the commercial Christmas for kids in the 1950's, with a rendition of Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer. Much merriment was had by all and the Chorus was treated to lashings of mince pies, cakes and tea, lavished upon them by the lovely ladies of the YCWA!

The Kansas State baseball team will use the momentum of a mid-week sweep of New Mexico when they host West Virginia inside Tointon Family Stadium this weekend.
K-State is 19-18 overall and 2-10 in Big 12 play, while the Mountaineers are 22-13 and 8-4 in conference play.
The Wildcats are coming off their first two-game win streak in over a month and will look to beat the Mountaineers in a series starting today. West Virginia has yet to lose a series in conference play this year.
A major reason for the Wildcats' success lately has been senior first baseman Jake Scudder, as he belted his 10th home run of the season in the doubleheader on Tuesday and is the leader in the Big 12 in home runs.
The other reason is freshman outfielder Will Brennen, who was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week on Monday. He is second in the conference in batting average at .367 and is on pace to beat the program record in batting average, which was set in 1973 at .347.
In game one, junior pitcher Justin Heskett will get the nod for K-State, as he has thrown three consecutive quality starts and in those starts has thrown out a combined 15 batters. He will go up against West Virginia starting pitcher BJ Myers, who ranks in the top 10 in the Big 12 in earned run average at 3.38.
Game two will feature K-State senior pitcher Parker Rigler, who threw a no-hitter earlier this season for the Wildcats. In his last start, Rigler struck out seven batters against Texas Tech. He will go up against Michael Grove, who also is in the top 10 in earned run average at 2.70.
K-State head coach Brad Hill will go for a program record 436th win this weekend, which would pass Mike Clark, who coached the Wildcats for 14 seasons.
The starting pitchers for both teams in the series finale on Sunday are still to be determined. The Wildcats and Mountaineers meet for game one today at 6:30 p.m., Saturday's game begins at 4 p.m. and Sunday's first pitch is set for noon.


text: One of the secrets of Microgaming's success is that it always looks for new ways to provide interesting and innovative new games to its players.On an almost monthly basis, this Isle of Man based online casino software provider releases new games and content so that players always have a fresh supply when they visit their favorite sites. This week, Microgaming's Quickfire division announced that it has signed a lucrative deal with a new game development studio, Just for the Win to see a fresh supply of content added to its platform. The new contract will see Just for the Win's gaming content distributed to over 400 brands that are currently live on Quickfire's platform. This new deal promises to be an interesting one, given that the team at this company has over 40 years of combined experience in the online gaming industry. The team has yet to release its content to the market, although it stands to reason that Microgaming feels strongly enough that the games will suit its players and has thus entered into an agreement with the game development studio. Both sides were excited about the signing of the contract. The head of Quickfire at Microgaming, Tom Chamberlain complimented Just for the Win saying that it was a new game studio with plenty of industry knowhow. "We are eagerly awaiting their game launches as we believe they will bring top quality casino games to the Quickfire platform and our operators," said Chamberlain soon after the contract between the two sides was signed. Also commenting was the chief executive officer and co-founder of Just for the Win Game Development, Johan Persson, who said that the team was looking forward to working closely with Microgaming and Quickfire over the coming years as they "head on an exciting adventure." "With an unmatched distribution network and a highly knowledgeable team, we see Microgaming as the perfect companion for us to grow and establish ourselves in the busy online gaming market," he said. Johan Persson is the former chief product officer at the hugely popular LeoVegas online casino, and thus comes with the experience of heading one of the industry's most successful gaming sites. Persson said that Just for the Win's intentions were to "deliver fun and immersive casino games, complemented by unique mathematical features, with a focus on high quality player experiences." The new content is expected to go live at the beginning of next year and players at 400 different Quickfire brands will have access to the new titles as soon as the games are released. Just for the Win describes itself as "group of industry veterans and professionals who brainstorm, craft, live, breathe and eat games for casinos." Quickfire allows Microgaming to distribute its games to a wide range of online casino platforms. Quickfire operators include LeoVegas, Casino Luck and Vera&John, to name just a few.

A Market Harborough man has cycled more than 200 miles to raise money for a suicide awareness charity.
Wayne Creese (43) cycled to Well-next-the-Sea on the north Norfolk coast – and back – a distance of 220 miles.
So far he has raised more than £2,600 for the Suicide Awareness and Support Group charity.
His Justgiving page is still open for more donations, at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/wayne-creese6.
"I do various little charity things to raise money for different charities" said Wayne, a cabinet maker for Sheridan and Co, based in Market Harborough.
"I chose this charity because I've lost a few friends through suicide."
And he pointed out that no one is immune from suicide "when you're getting famous people doing it as well".
Wayne, who lives with partner Claire and two children aged 16 and 12, is a regular cyclist.
"I go out with friends on Tuesday and Thursday nights and at the weekends" he said. "So to prepare for the charity bike ride, I just upped the mileage a bit."
It took him six hours to cycle to the coast, where he rested for a day before taking six hours 20 minutes to cycle home.
Wayne promised to shave his beard off if the fundraising total passed £1,000 – and, sure enough, the beard has gone.
"I was absolutely knackered on the ride back" he admitted.
"But I was really, really pleased with the amount of money people donated."

Thread: BROKEN HEARTS
<< [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] >>
well we finished The Hobbit and are on to LOTR, I have no idea how long it will take us. Strangely this small time each night together in the living room has begun to heal our broken hearts after losing three members of our family in a year.
But I was thinking of Filli and Killi and I am sure that is not the way to spell them. Here they were, the very youngest of the dwarves with so much to look forward to. They make that incredible frightening and wearying journey all the way to face Smaug with their little 'burglar' and then what happens? Dear Thorin Oakshield, their esteemed and revered leader suddenly becomes overcome by the madness of desire and lust for the jewels and money and such. He loses his usual wisdom and in the end is killed because his pride and unreasonableness has cost him any hope of making things work out with the elves and the people of Dale. Now dead and buried under the mountain with the glorious Arkenstone laid upon his chest and never to enjoy it one bit. And beside him the two youngest, fallen while trying to protect him their leader. How absolutely grief stricken the others must have been. What a waste of three beautiful lives. Deaths that never ever had to happen but for lust of ownership of things. I cried for about half an hour after we read it . Oh well......
Actually, Leelee, I believe the Free Peoples had put aside all other quarrels when the goblins attacked. So the Battle of the Five Armies was fought for the right to live in that part of Middle Earth. Thorin and Company were no longer fighting merely for their treasure then. So Thorin died to defend himself and his friends against the common enemy. Fili and Kili died defending their uncle, if memory serves me rightly. You might reread that part of The Hobbit. Maybe this consideration will make you feel better.
Oh Gandalf, you are absolutely correct. I was in the kitchen making something for after I think when that part was read. That makes me feel better as to the reason dear Thorin and the brothers died, but my heart feels broken that they died at all. If only..................
I sympathize. I have read that part in the final chapters again and again, and I can never read it without a catch in my throat. This is something I have to deal with yearly, as I will be reading it to the 9th grade during 4th quarter.
that is amazing that you get to incorporate your love of Tolkien with sharing with the students. I know of no such thing here, I cannot imagine how thrilling that must be for the children. wow.
i expect i will receive not a few shouts of derision upon reading what I am about to, but I shall march forth just the same.
When we think of the wraiths, we naturally recoil and have an aversion to these 'things'. But once they came into Middle-Earth as mere babes, human babes, innocent, full of wonder. They ate, slept, grew, interacted with their mums and dads and had deep feelings, hopes and dreams.
And then, because of avarice and greed, greed for things and money and power, they fell prey to Sauron and all the wonderful dreams of childhood were lost and they became the living dead as it were. Did they at some point before all was lost to them in the circle of the world , ever become grieved at what they had done, their great folly? Did they do you think suffer a broken heart, any of them?
There is nothing derisive about your train of thought,in fact it is refreshing to see how you have absorbed Tolkien's world.
What you have said reminded me of that very famous tale about Michelangelo.He was painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel,I guess,and he needed a child's face to model for his baby Christ.He found one angelic baby and did the painting.As the years wore on,he was still working on that gigantic canvas and felt he neede a face for his Lucifer.He chanced upon a brutal,mauled looking man and did his Lucifer.At the end of his sitting the man revealed that as an infant,he was the face of the baby Christ.
There might be facts wrong here.I've heard this tale by word of mouth and have found no such thing in Michelangelo's many biographies but I guess you understand what I'm trying to say.
The wraiths as you have said fell to their greed and this greed drove them on till the very end.If they could worship and obey Sauron,I don't think they had much scope for feeling regret.They were too deep to realize their mistake and all of a sudden they were nothing.
LeeLee & Odette, I am so moved by what you have said....am I wrong to feel compassion even for the Ringwraiths...?...there is a line somewhere that says something like..."so the guards awoke to another day of toil & drudgery in Mordor"...something like that..I dont think i have quoted it right...do you ever have days when it feels like this?....I do...but then I always remember Sam's thoughts when he was in Mordor...."in the end the shadow is only a passing thing...there is a high and ancient beauty , that is forever beyond it's reach"....LeLee & Odette, and all readers..I hope you too can see the light sometimes...
thankyou darling Odette. Namarie Alana. How sad those words are. I have often looked upon those I know had brilliant lives full of family and friends and a fire in their hearts for good for the world. Then something as simple as unemployment and the despair and shame that comes of it somehow turns their joy to ashes and they become indifferent and angry and bitter until you could not recognize them if you tried.
But I think that as Sam makes it clear over and over, you have the choice of deciding just what to do with the grief and sorrow. You can turn it inward and decide it is dog eat dog and throw all gentleness and nobleness and right away, or you can do what Sam says in the movie, you can behave like the heroes in the stories of old who went right on doing good because doing so stood for something , something high and good and noble that was worth fighting the good fight for. The wraiths took the pathof self service and injury to others and fell , fell forever. I could weep until I fall asleep for their choices. It truly does make my heart feel so broken, so very broken, for in my mind all mankind is like precious stones that should be able to skim across the water without a ripple. Only when a rock falls hard everything is shaken up and never settles the same again.
Oh LeeLee, you are so right...I guess we have all known darkness in our past....and wished we had never lived to see such times...but as Gandalf said "that is not for us to decide...all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us......" I think one of the most important themes of these books is friendship...I feel we are all friends here, LeeLee, Odette....may our friendship "be laight that shines when all other lights go out"
Love you
Elen Sila Omientielvo....(May a star shine on the hour of our meeting.......
How beautiful and kind and yes, our hearts are knitting in friendship that I hope will last forever.
I have dim recollections of the party of Strider as the Hobbit folk knew Aragorn, Merry, Pippin , Sam and Frodo coming upon certain areas that were clearly under the dreadful curses and weariness of Morder; places that had once been fresh and alive and green and peaceful as illuvatar had intended, but were now hot, acrid burnt out shells; and I remember sentiments being said by Aragorn and also Gandalf in other situations. They would mention how, although the earth and flora and fauna there were now all but gone and forgotten, still there was a sort of imprint from what had been, a ghost if you will of the beauty and honor and nobility of the place that still clung to the area so that one could almost glean hope and rest when they had to camp there.
My point is, do you think that Middle-Earth herself had a sort of broken heart, a grieving for what was and was lost, until the curses were broken and healing had begun once more?
Arijuanna, just reading your post gave tears and an ache in my throat. You make good points and I agree.
It did make sense. Tolkien wrote from the perspective of truth that transcends the trappings of the story and resonates in our lives. This is what makes great literature.
The image I would have of a broken heart comes from the DVD extended version of the Lord of The Rings.
The revelation of his son's(Theodred) death after King Theoden is freed from the power of Saruman. After the rituals and burial of his son, Theoden is alone with Gandalf, to reflect on what might have been.
To me this is revealing a broken heart of a father lamenting the loss of an only son.
Thank you for your comments. I have noticed on this site that, even the comments of those participating in this thread are so filled with emotion and understanding that i seem to be able to feel sorrow just from the comments.
Hello Everybody,
Sorry I have not posted for a while....I have just found out the husband of a very dear friend has cancer, and he probably will not make it.....Life is so unfair...but then as The Professor said..."some people live who deserve to die, and others die who deserve life...."
Your thoughts and prayers would be much appreciated...then we would not feel so alone.....
As someone who lost her little sister to cancer at Christmas I totally relate to your grief. I have prayed for him and I will continue.
Oh,,,LeeLee, I am so sorry...I had no idea....Thank you so much for your prayers....You are a sister to me....I wish I could hug you...big hug across the internet....
A hug back Alana.
I have mentioned him before, but lately images of Elrond, having to leave all he built up and was so fond of in Middle-Earth at Imladris, and the absolute horrible grief of losing his only beloved daughter, knowing she was now a vulnerable mortal and would lay down and die and leave the circle of the earth, while he and her mother and grandmother would go on and on across the sea, the images of his care-worn face, the sorrow in his eyes nearly haunts me.
Oh, LeeLee, you make me cry.....yes, for the Elves to lose a loved one, is even worse than for humans; because, being immortal, they expected to have that person forever; or at least as long as the "world" lasts....i guess nothing is "forever".....
You know, i wondered...when i watched the scene in the movie...when Smeagol is murdering Deagol for possession of the ring.....it was like he was so single minded; focussed on what he wnted..that it seemed like he was feeling; you know, it doesn't matter what i do to get this ring...once i have it, it wont matter,,,because everything will be alright then.....and what scares me is,,,I have felt like this myself....but in the end of course the ring betrayed him....I suppose , to quote Sirius, from Harry Potter; "The world is not divided into Good People & Bad people; we all have Light and Darkness within us...it is the part we choose to act on; that's what decides who we really are ?"
What do we think ?....
I think that is a good description of Smeagol in that moment or that space of time, single minded. I tnink evil is like a seed. Any thing can plant it in you, trauma, fear. lonliness, hate, jealousy, whatever. But it takes oneself to water it and tend it. It is sort of a covenant if you will. You either covenant to do good or evil and then you steadfastly water that seed planted good or evil . And I noticed that it said somewhere that he preferred looking up, always looking down . The earth , the good earth is down, but if you begin to dig deep and then deeper, if you never again look up and behold the sun and the sky , the breathtaking and pristine beauty of it for say a long long time, well then, when you do you are too dazzled, perhaps even frightened and it gets harder and harder to face the light. And then you become just a destructive force that could only be rescued by great power, and only if you let it. I think Illuvatar, who gave this creature life and did not suffer him to be destroyed by mordor or elves or men, but extended him mercy after mercy, chance after chance, well I think HE even more than any suffered a broken heart over this.
Yes, I think you are right...but the ultimate irony is, that without Gollum; the whole thing would have failed; ultimately Frodo was conquered by the ring; it was only Gollum's intervention that, unwittingly , saved Middle Earth.
Is this an example of how Ilyuvatar brings Good out of Evil ?.....The Professor coined a new word...."Eucatastrophe"...the sudden turn from despair to hope.......
Do you think , at the end, Frodo's heart was broken...is that why he could only find healing in The Blessed Realm...?
I hope he found peace there....
There is something about 'death' in the world of we elves that puzzles me and I am hoping someone with knowledge greater than mine can help. We have seen through the eyes of our professor the total and hopeless and hideous grief suffered by Men when a loved one was taken, and even in the movie each and every time King Theoden asks Aeowyn to let him go to be with his kin after she brokenheartedly says she will save him, well her grief always makes me cry too; well what of the Elves. Because they can come back, there is some sort of reincarnation, not as the world outside the Church that was the heart and soul of Tolkien teaches against, but the Elves could come back as themselves. So, did they actually have anything like Men's sort of grief with the knowledge their loved ones could come back to the circle of the earth?
Further to my post above, since I dont know how the elves felt about death or being slain since they could come back, I will say that I believe for them separation was terribly terribly painful and caused the deepest broken heart. Now I know that at least those like Elfrond and Galadriel, and perhaps though I would have to look it up, Gandalf, could communicate telepathically as it were, with no audible speech to one another, I dont know if Arwen could or if any of those could over long distances. I don't know what the rules of Illuvatar were concerning this. Because if they could, surely they would 'talk' to those in the Blessed Realm and keep up with whatever was going on. But the point I am making is that even if they could, the pain of never seeing some of their beloved who had chosen a mortal's life , never beholding their dear faces and knowing they could not come back must have been almost unbearable. To me that is worse than death. That is like when I was a child being told that 'no matter, you can talk to so and so on the phone.'That did not comfort me in the least because the one loved was not there to put my arms about.'
I was considering Eowyn a few minutes ago and her young cousin Theodred and I wondered, along with Eomer, I never remember how to spell the names; I was wondering what sad conversations they would have in the night when many were sleeping including their uncle. What whispered anguished words passed between them as they witnessed day after day their uncle, Theodred's father becoming increasingly weaker and unsteadier in mind by the poisonous words of Grima which were directed by Saraman and by the spell that turncoat wizard had over the King. To see such a horror and not be able to do anything to recall his mind to sanity and reality once more must have been a true nightmare. And then for brother and sister, tired out , lonely, worried and feeling near hopeless, for them to see their cousin cut down in the prime of his youth never to have seen his father's glorious recovery and the defeat of Sauron , the peace in his land, that must have all but crushed their dear good hearts. It makes me feel numb with emotional pain sometimes, it is hard to think on.

Well spoken Vir. It seems it was a time when sharing grief and sorrow really had to take a back seat to the worries at hand. One seemed to receive blow after blow and simply push it to the back of the mind and heart in order to accomplish what was needed in violent and uncertain times.
And Vir, speaking of pain of heart, I would like to say how sorry I am for the grief in Belgium at the moment. Senseless things such as happened can by me at least never ever be understood. Your beautiful country and the people and families harmed are in my prayers.
It was just after I posted on another thread that a thought came to me, what about Illuvatar's heart. Perhaps when we think of the Creator of that world and the elves and men and dwarves and hobbits and all the creatures, perhaps we think of him as distant and far away and without much emotion. But I would have to disagree, for any artist can only put into his creation that which comes from within his or herself, any man and woman can only produce a baby in the natural manner from that which comes from the joining of his and herself and the dna and all that goes into the beginning of life in the womb. Therefore because He loved, they loved, because He hated evil, they could hate evil or pervert that and hate good, because he experienced brokeness of heart in some way we cannot understand , so too could those who came from him so to speak.
With that in mind I am thinking that the first act of violence and treachery, the first hating and slaying of kin against kin must have broken his heart. The whole of his achingly beautiful world smeared and broken and full of dark and blood and woundedness. Surely his heart was broken all the while he was working toward the ending of evil dominating all that once was pure beauty and love and hope and peace.
Other than Frodo, Aeowyn is the person I most idenify with, and Iagree that her life was one of such grief and loss and hopes dashed against the rocks for far too long. The loss of her uncle was really the last straw
and it was fortuitous that the King came along straight away and began to heal her or surely she would have died of grief never mind the wounds from the Witch King.
John Ronald's mother taught her sons a great deal about flowers and herbs, and he came to love such. You might want to pop over to a site called Ashbrooke and under the title Kingship, the hands of a healer' written by Lauren Calco, who wrote a Thesis on Tolkien in response to heavy criticism of Tolkien's works by the literary world, and find out just how deeply Tolkien delved into healing and the need for a whole and good king in order for his subjects to find healing of mind, body, and also of the land. I detected one error upon quick examination and that was of the writer calling Hilary John's sister instead of brother, but it was still very well done in my opinion.
I have to agree that Eowyn was a tortured soul. And i think it is a testament to Master Tolkien's notion of helpmate that he had her find Faramir. He is another tortured soul, son of a father who never loved him and brother of one who did not share glory.
I have been pondering Leelee's thoughts on Illuvator having a broken heart and I agree. Although He heard the Song and gave it life, I wonder if He knew just how much misery would come from Melkor's dischord. Since He is the Creator, I suppose He must have known. And on that note, I can't help but wonder how many times He put forth His will and aided His children. Was it His hand that guided the Mariner to the shores of the West? Maybe its the optimist in me, but I like to think that there were times when He lended aid, be it only miniscule, to the Elves and later on Men and other races.
I think, for the most part Illuvatar had a master plan, much like an architect you makes the grand plans for the beautiful home. But within that the residents of the home make it theirs, they do great things to enhance and some do stupid or mean things to wreck the beauty for a myriad of reasons Only when appealed to the architect comes and aids the owners in ideas to restore or make better in a different way , but restoration at the key. Remember during the one war when the elves laid down their weapons and appealed to the gods to intervene, that of course had to be approved by Illuvatar, a pot cannot ascend beyond The Potter. But unless those created appealed to Illuvatar either directly or to those just under Him, his adminstrators I think things were left alone, for good or evil, only moving ahead at the will of Illvatar to complete his grand plan at the end and restore all things.
I think Galadriel has one of the most broken hearts.
First of course what happened to her daughter, that must have been terrible, not knowing if she´s alive or not and then she sails to Valinor and Galadriel was not allowed to come with her and if she would ever be allowed to follow, obviously she thought that the ban would be permanent, as long as arda will be, so for her it was the last time she would see he daughter. And with all this grieve still be able to save Lorien, that is true greatness, many other persons would probably be lost in depressions but of course not for nothing she is said to be among the three greatest of all the eldar.
The only way to see her maybe again is to die and go to mandos and not knowing if he would let her out. In her lament her sadness and fear is clearly to see, to be imprisoned in a grey world with no way out and to see everyone she loves leaving.
Then of course Arwen, maybe the pain of loosing a grandchild is not as terrible as loosing the own child, but I´m sure it must have affected her.
Then the mental stress not knowing how the ring war would end, I mean in the worst case all the elves could leave, for her the way was closed. That´s like standing on a tightrope with only abyss. And the mental stress to see her family in valinor again and more important the valar, how would they react? Would she be accepted like back then? Is there regardless of the pardon some sort of punishment? Maybe this were her thoughts when returning to valinor.
IMHO this must have been troubling and the person I think Galadriel is keeps that all to herself and talks about that to no one.
That was my pity party for Galadriel
Too true Nerwen regarding Galadrial. As well as the personal grief which you mention She also would have seen the death of thousands of Elves throughout the Ages. Some Kin, most followers and acquaintances. "The Long Defeat" as she puts it would have been incredibly depressing for the Noldorian Elves stuck in Middle Earth, especially for Galadrial the ever loved...
Well said Nerwen, very well said. Somewhere in this thread I think I mentioned Lord Elrond having thesame grief because of the family dynamics and his grief at holding his girl one last time, the very last time. I cry thinking about it. I know what it is to lose all one's family and it is a kind of grief that cannot really be compared to other griefs, not that it is worse, but that it is unique. It is the tearing as it were of a picture into fragments that was once a family photo and no matter how you would try to piece it together it could never look or feel the same again. And it is the sundering of a clan, it's strength and beauty for all time , it's noise and vibrance now still and totally horrifyingly silent. And even someone going away and never coming back is a worse death, for there is never any closure is there unless one can somehow achieve a detachment in the mind and then move on.
Thank you, and then I wonder how she felt about the Valar, if she was disappointed or bitter on them, cause she was kinda banished for no reason, IMHO of course she did small mistakes, in one version being the leader of the rebellion, in the other version replying proudly that she doesn´t wish to return, nothing really dramatic IMHO, there are elves who did much worse things then her. If I were her I would maybe be even a little bit hurt.
Nerwen that is a very good point. I am not certain, I will have to return to The Letters once more, but perhaps our Professor Tolkien settled on the point that she had indeed not led the rebellion but did reject pardon , which one would do iif she felt she did no wrong that needed pardon. And although she did wish to be in Middle Earth that she might rule over a people and bow to no one as it were, still to understand that the doors were shut to her in that she could never return to the beginning would certainly be a grief, a heartache for certain.
It would have been an ease if she knew for certain that she could escape to Valinor if things were getting rough, but they let her in this uncertainty. IMHO the Valar should be proud of her, at least the valar who teached her, Yavanna and Aule for example, for she was able to create to beautiful Lorien, that was surely something Yavanna teached her and she ended the long lasting enmity between Elves and Dwarfs, I think that made Aule happy.
As we make our way through The Hobbit I remember a while back when my family read the whole thing together over a month and I recall weeping as if my heart would break when Fili and Kili died in the battle and also Thorin, the great noble and brave Thorin. All for jewels it would seem, but really it was so much more than that. And I wondered how broken their hearts must have been, particularly Thorin before they died. Already so much sorrow and harm and to die , never having finished their quest or having been the ones that avenged their family against Smaug, the whole thing is such a terrible waste and tragedy,
Samwise Ghamgee often stands before me , in my mind of course, at the least opportune times, as if to say 'pay attention to me and I will teach you a great deal about my creator, Creator, JRR Tplkien , what he truly believed, how he viewed the world in which he lived and what he longed to see the average person do with his or her life to prevent the world, Middle or no from being covered with a final darkness. So I contemplate him and thoughts come to my mind.
Today though I thought about Sam himself, how amazing a character he truly was. He was stubborn in certain ways, but there was a streak of Elven in him somehow that was lofty and longed for useful information, and even more, true beauty. He bathed in the true beauty of nature and was a most skilled gardener after his father though with more imagination I think. And he longed for the knowledge and the fine and kingly ways of the Elves. This he obtained through learning to read from his master Frodo Baggins of the Shire. And then further as he met and interchanged words and thought with many Elves on his journey.
Sam was very passionate in his way and feelings ran deep in his loyal and gentle heart. So I thought how much pain, terrible pain , broken heartedness Sam went through at losing Frodo to the West, and then leaving all his family once Rosie died to go the West to be with his master. He truly was always being torn apart at one time or another. Such pain he endured. I admire Sam.

JD McPherson 'Undivided Heart & Soul' due October 6th via New West Records
JD McPherson has released a video for 'Lucky Penny' the first taste of his upcoming album 'Undivided Heart & Soul' due October 6th, 2017. The video was shot where the album was recorded, the historic RCA Studio B in Nashville. So McPherson is following in the footsteps of Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton, Jim Reeves and Elvis (pretty impressive company). The album includes collaborations with artists from a range of genres including Parker Millsap and Butch Walker. An extensive press release and the video for 'Lucky Penny' follows:
The 11-song set was produced by McPherson and Dan Molad (Lucius, Tweedy), and was recorded at the historic RCA Studio B in Nashville, TN. 'Undivided Heart & Soul' is McPherson's first studio album in three years and follows his critically acclaimed 'Let The Good Times Roll' (2014), which Rolling Stone praised as "timeless, forward-thinking rock & roll."
The new, soul-baring album is a snapshot of his creative process bringing the record to life, a journey filled with fear and change, then boldness, and, eventually catharsis. The album features collaborations with Parker Millsap, Butch Walker, and Aaron Lee Tasjan. In addition to his longtime band members Doug Corcoran on guitar, Raynier Jacob Jacildo on keys, Jimmy Sutton on bass, and Jason Smay on drums, the album also features guest appearances by Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs, Greenhornes), Jess Wolfe & Holly Laessig of Lucius, and Nicole Atkins. JD McPherson has now shared the video for the album's first single 'Lucky Penny'. The video depicts McPherson and his band performing the song at RCA Studio B and was directed by George Salisbury (Flaming Lips, Nathaniel Rateliff).
Prior to writing and recording the new album, McPherson moved his family from their longtime home of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to the burgeoning artist community of East Nashville, TN. His decision was based on opportunity and one he was reluctant to make, but notes the profound influence the city has had on his new work. "Up to this point, I thought I knew what I was doing with songwriting, that I don't do this or that," says McPherson. After collaborating with multiple artists in the scene, he began to experiment, exploring personal themes and injecting more of himself into his work (including a co-write on the album with his wife Mandy). Opening up his process was no easy task. "I was having nightmares every night, thinking, 'Wow, they're going to hate this."
With a group of songs taking shape, McPherson and crew scheduled studio time to begin work on the album. After initial tracking began, it quickly became apparent that the sessions were not going to work, bringing his momentum to a halt. At the invitation of his friend and longtime supporter Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, who was also recording at the time, McPherson, Homme, and his Queens bandmate Dean Fertita jammed together over a weekend in Los Angeles. They played around with some songs, with Homme pushing McPherson outside of his comfort zone in a no-stakes environment. McPherson calls the getaway "the most fun I've had since I was 15 years old" and returned to Nashville with a clear head, internal filters successfully stifled, and ready to move forward with a new co-producer in Dan Molad (also the drummer for the band Lucius). "There's a pretty broad gap in our tastes, what we do and what we're into," McPherson says of Molad. Where McPherson is as likely to lean on The Cramps as he is Irma Thomas for inspiration, Molad's left-field production suggestions influenced a new perspective on his sound. "We ended up learning a lot from each other, and he did a lot of stuff I'd have never thought to do."
Pre Orders of the album and a range of other options are available over at the JD McPherson Pledgemusic page http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/jdmcpherson

(Scroll down to view report or download here).
The report of our White Ribbon UK Role Models Project was published on 14 August 2018. Funded through the Tampon Tax fund managed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport the Role Models Project took place over 18 months from September 2016. The project has enabled considerable development of the White Ribbon UK Ambassadors programme, resulting in there now being over 760 ambassadors and more than 80 accredited organisations.
White Ribbon UK volunteer ambassadors engage with other men and boys to call out behaviour that leads to harassment, abuse and violence when they see it, and to promote a culture of equality and respect. Ambassadors take the message out to their wider communities; to schools and colleges, sports clubs, sporting events, workplaces, venues and festivals.
White Ribbon UK Ambassadors are recruited through word of mouth, social media, our website and at campaign events. An important development of the project is the new online training programme that all Ambassadors must complete. This ensures all ambassadors fully understand the importance of the campaign, the varied and intersectional issues of male violence against women, and their role in being agents for change.
The report was launched at an event that also marked the Greater Manchester Combined Authority in achieving White Ribbon Accreditation. Deputy Mayor Bev Hughes reiterated her support to ending male violence against women by welcoming and accepting the White Ribbon workplace accreditation on behalf of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA). Opening the event, she said: "I am thrilled to be hosting the launch of the White Ribbon evaluation report here in Greater Manchester and I am pleased to be accepting the White Ribbon workplace accreditation for the GMCA alongside three of our ambassadors.
"As outlined in White Ribbon's latest report - 10,000 women are sexually abused every week in the UK which is simply not acceptable. I hope that with the support of White Ribbon and its ambassadors, alongside the priorities set out in the Police and Crime plan, we can engage with other men and boys in Greater Manchester to call out behaviour that leads to harassment, abuse and violence against women and girls."
White Ribbon ambassadors are enlisted across the whole of the UK and play a vital role in engaging with men and boys and challenging inappropriate language and behaviour. GMCA White Ribbon ambassador, Andy Pownall said: "I am incredibly proud to be a White Ribbon ambassador and I am pleased to accept the White Ribbon workplace accreditation on behalf of the GMCA. Throughout my career I have led and worked on numerous domestic violence campaigns and programmes and I am passionate about eliminating domestic violence in our communities.
"I have professional and personal experiences of dealing with domestic violence and I am pleased that I am able to champion the White Ribbon beliefs and make real change in the workplace, my personal life and within the communities of Greater Manchester to promote a culture of equality and respect."
Anthea Sully, Chief Executive of White Ribbon UK said "The project has brought in more ambassadors than we expected who come from a wide range of backgrounds. By launching the report as Greater Manchester Combined Authority achieve accreditation shows what can be achieved by working together. It was really good to hear from two new ambassadors who were recruited as a result of accreditation. These shows how the project is driving forward change across communities. We are thrilled to have the support of the Deputy Mayor and Greater Manchester Combined Authority in backing the White Ribbon campaign and I hope other organisations in Greater Manchester take their lead and support the vital work we do in ending male violence again women and girls."

Most homes will need gutter repair in Bremerton WA from time to time. The gutters are not designed to last forever. Sometimes, an inferior design allows them to wear out long before your home's roof does. In other cases, the gutters may be beaten up by poor maintenance and upkeep. If they were involved in a windstorm, they could have damage from this as well. Whenever your gutter is not in place, they are unable to work to move water away from your home, exposing it to potential damage. Additionally, gutters with holes expose the home, windows, siding, and even your landscaping to potential problems.
Calling in a professional for gutter repair in Bremerton, WA simply makes financial sense. You could try to do the work yourself, but you may end up having to replace the gutters again. Without experience and the right tools and resources for the job, it can be hard to handle your own repairs. But professionals are available to provide fast, reliable service for any needs you may have. No matter what concerns you have, call a company specializing in gutter repair to help you. This ensures the best outcome possible.

Best Shoes For Walking On Concrete Floors All Day
For some people, they always need to be on the rush and walking all day. It may be because of their profession or maybe you like walking on concrete from time to time. No matter what the reason may be, if you are someone who spends a majority of their time walking on concrete floors then you will need to get shoes that will suit your specifications. Shoes that are a bit different than the other shoes on the market. You will need shoes that have extra cushioning and supports the arch well. You will need a pair of the best shoes for walking on concrete floors all day.
However, getting a pair of the best shoes for walking on concrete floors all day is not that easy. And that is mainly because there are so many different types of shoes out there. It becomes really confusing and a bit of a hassle to chose the right one. Before you set your mind upon which one to buy. There are some key things that you would need to beforehand.
1. Well Cushioned:
Walking on concrete all day can turn out to be dangerous and cause you severe foot problems if you aren't wearing the right shoe. Make sure that the shoe you buy has a lot of cushioning. Athletic and sporty shoes work the best here as they have a lot of cushioning. Having extra cushioning on your shoes will surely help you a long way. Because it will decrease the stress that is created on your feet during walking on concrete. So keep that in mind.
2. The Shoe Must Be Roomy:
If you will be getting a shoe for walking on concrete, then make sure that it's roomy. Shoes that are wide and roomy will allow you to move your feet freely so that you don't feel cramped. And this is very crucial. Because you will end up hurting yourself walking on concrete if your feet is all cramped up. It can also cause serious injuries as blood may not be able to circulate properly throughout your feet properly.
3.Expensive Is Not Always The Best:
We human beings are very gullible and we are creatures of habit. If we think we like something and it suits us. We will be ready to give all our resources on hold to get or use that. This is where big brands and companies use this to their advantage. They market their products so well that you will be ready to pay a premium price for a very average product. In this way, our minds have developed in such a way that we believe whatever is expensive has to be the best out there. This is not always true. Especially in the case of shoes. There are many different not so well known brands who make insanely comfortable shoes. But as they do not have the resources to invest in marketing and promotion they lack behind. So always keep in mind that expensive will not always be the best solution.
Reviews Of The Best Shoes For Walking On Concrete Floors All Day:
- Asics GEL-Tech Walker Neo 4 Walking Shoe.
- ASICS Women's GT-2000 4.
Walking on concrete is hard. So to make it really easy for you we have decided to talk about the most comfortable shoes for walking on concrete all day that you can buy online at excellent deals. So let's get into it.
Men's Version:
1. Asics GEL-Tech Walker Neo 4 Walking Shoe:
As reading the name you could have already understood this is a walking shoe. As weird as it may seem. there are actually different shoes for walking. This isn't any marketing trick or something. But these shoes will actually make a difference in your walking. Now we will agree that this may not be the best-looking walking shoe on the market. But you have to realize that this shoe serves a completely different purpose. The upper of the shoe is very interesting. It is made from a mix of synthetic and mesh material. You will see that there are little mesh panels on the side of the shoe. This not only seems appealing but they are functional as well. What they do is improve breathability. So that your feet don't sweat and stink.
Starting from the upper to the outsole. Every part and feature of this shoe will give it their best to make sure you are comfortable standing on your feet on concrete. The outsole is made from a very soft rubber. However, despite that, it is still very grippy and provides good traction.
When you are walking on the concrete grip is immensely important. Because you never know when you might slip or snap and injure yourself. However, the Asics GEL-Tech Walker Neo 4 Walking Shoe will make sure you don't. Keeping you safe at all times.
- Very functional design.
- Designated shoe for walking.
- Sporty.
- Comes in a number of colors.
- Comfortable for walking in any condition.
- Very durable sole.
- The outsole might be a bit too hard.
Women's Variant:
2. ASICS Women's GT-2000 4:
Asics have been a classic brand for many years.We at Golden Hobbyist like them a lot. You see before there were any Nikes or Adidas, Asics was the king. Almost every teenager wanted a pair of Asics sneakers. However, from there Asics have come a long way. And now they are focusing more on making shoes that are comfortable, but also sporty and stylish.
The ASICS Women's GT-2000 4 is one such shoe. We can say it with our eyes closed that it is one of the best shoes for walking on concrete floors all day. Now even though this one may not be the ideal walking shoe like the one we talked before, but this is in no way less. It is more of a dual thing. You can see from the design that the shoes look extremely sporty. So not only can you walk in these. But you will also be able to hit the gym or go for a few runs as well.
The thing about lightweight shoes is that in order to sacrifice weight, cushioning is often sacrificed on such shoes. However, that is definitely not the case with the ASICS Women's GT-2000 4. For such a light shoe, it has quite the cushioning that you would expect and the midsole is also very comfy as well.
A major advantage of having a lightweight shoe is that since the upper is very soft you are very likely to get good breathability. Keeping you cool and dry at all conditions. The fit of the ASICS Women's GT-2000 4 is also pretty good. As the shoe is pretty flexible it will fit well to any feet type. Wide or narrow. Even though the midsole of this shoe is not one of the best ones out there, it still helps and does a pretty good job of absorbing shock. You will not have to worry about the durability of the sole as the shoe is pretty hard and rigid.
Overall, this is an excellent shoe. We can undoubtedly say that it is one of the best shoes for walking on concrete floors all day for women. If you do not like this particular colorway then you can check out the wide variety of other colorways available as well.
- Very sporty.
- Insanely lightweight.
- Very comfortable.
- Will fit any foot type. Wide or narrow.
- Does not provide good arch support.
Both these shoes are excellent. As a matter of fact, they are one of the best shoes for walking on concrete floors all day. You are very unlikely to go wrong with these ones. No matter which one you choose. They will surely serve you well.

Radiographic testing is an excellent NDT method to learn, as it offers many advantages over other NDT methods for specific applications.
For one, it can be used on a variety of materials and requires very little surface prep. It is also highly reproducible and often uses portable systems, making it easy to use in elevated positions and in the field.
However, it does not come without its drawbacks, such as the potential for health risks if tests are not performed with the utmost care. But administering tests well and being able to produce a high-quality radiograph is only half the battle. RT Technicians also need to be skilled in interpreting and evaluating the results of the tests they perform. To do so, they must be able to rely on their visual acuity and understand the roles that effects and scattering play in film interpretation.
There are three basic steps involved in interpreting radiographs:
1. Detection
2. Interpretation
3. Evaluation
If there are discontinuities present in the test material, they will affect the amount of radiation that passes through. For example, x-rays or gamma rays will pass through porosity with relative ease as compared to the other solid parts of the same material. This will create a higher exposure and result in a darker region of the finished radiograph. This specific, hands-on knowledge is the kind of information you can expect from the Radiographic Testing courses offered by NDT Classroom.
Led by industry expert Gary Larson, NDT Classroom's Radiographic Testing Levels I and II courses take you through all the knowledge and steps necessary to lay the foundation for becoming a highly skilled radiographic technician. Not only do they provide the know-how, though; they give you the confidence you need to do the job with the highest level of safety.

Washington's latest political scandal involves a little-known unit of the Internal revenue Service that determines which groups don't have to pay taxes. Staff in that unite had singled out conservative political groups for greater scrutiny of their applications for tax-exempt status.
The question is who gave the order for enhanced scrutiny directed specifically at the Tea Party applicant's. Specifically, where did those orders come from, and from where did they originate.
There is no doubt that this particular conflict/scandal could have far-reaching implications. Some are wondering if it reaches all the way to the White House.
It is not every day that the President of The United States just calls a Press Conference to explain some serious offense that happened within his administration. Especially this president who often seems to do everything he can to avoid the press, that is unless the event is a plum for his administration. Benghazi was a good example. As the President ran damage control, the one thing he did not do is make a personal appearance until somewhat later. Then it was, once again, the angry president, determined to clean up a mess not of his own doing, but the doing instead of his underlings. It seems he feels that he has to express that he is the smartest one in the pack, and these kids just continue to cut-up.
But, not this time. This time as the story exploded into scandal, President Obama comes on TV, not during prime time, like 8:00pm or something, but around 6:00 -6:30pm smack in the middle of the news, breaking in to express outrage, disdain, anger, and forceful action in the midst of a crisis, once again not of his own making, but those darned underlings, constantly making a mess of things. The president said that he was angry over this mess, he had no patience with it, and would not tolerate it.
However, at the back of everyone's mind, especially with those who can tolerate the stench of Washington and it's politics is "What did the White House know? and when did they know it? More important; What did the president know? and when did he know it? Are we watching the application of a carefully laid plan to cover-up White House involvement. Was the President directly involved? Is that why he suddenly calls a Press Conference?
IRS officials in Washington and at least two other offices were involved with investigating conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, making clear that the effort reached well beyond the branch office in Cincinnati that was initially blamed, according to documents obtained by the Washington Post. The Post said that IRS officials at the agency's Washington Headquarters sent queries to conservative groups asking about their donors. as well as other aspects of their operations. Officials in the El Monte and Laguna Niguel offices in California sent out similar questionnaires to Tea Party affiliated groups.
IRS officials in Cincinnati told conservatives seeking the status of "social welfare" groups that a task force in Washington was overseeing their applications, according to activists. The Washington Post said.
Already it is obvious that there is more to this than some local office in Cincinnati, it reaches not only across the country, but seems to originate in Washington. It does not seem to be the work of some rogue official, but the actual programmatic operation of an official Task Force, that no one knew existed in the first place.
Moreover, details of the IRS effort's to target conservative groups reached the highest levels of the agency in May of 2012, far earlier than has been disclosed, according to Republican congressional aides briefed by the IRS and Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) on the details of their reviews.
The officials did not share the details of those inquires with Republican lawmakers who had been demanding to know whether the IRS was actually targeting conservative groups.
Sen. Orrin Hatch said that he had written the IRS three times last year after hearing concerns that conservative groups had been targeted by the IRS. In response to the first inquiry by the Senator Steve Miller, the current Acting IRS commissioner, responded that these groups were not being targeted by the IRS.
"Knowing what we know now", Hatch said, "the IRS was at best being far from forth coming or at worse, being deliberately dishonest with Congress.
The scandal will not be wiped away by President Obama coming out on camera to express his frustrated disdain with the IRS and those involved in any cover-up of the facts in this matter. The Republicans smell blood and they will surely carry this one all the way to the bank, Congressional hearings and all. Nothing can be more profitable of course than if they can tie President Obama to this scandal. It all but assures their victory in 2014 as well 2016's presidential bid. In a nut shell, that is what this is all about. The final victory, and their quest for the White House.
Be that as it may, despite the persistent efforts by conservatives to do this president in, it is becoming more and more obvious that the Obama Administration is making it all that much easier for them.
Have a great day. Keep your chin up, and remember folks…..We're all in this together.
As usual, I look forward to hearing your views on the issue's of the day. Until then, have a great day and …………….God Bless America!

text: Cristi + Jeremy flew all the way from Texas to tie the knot in the beautiful Livermore Wine Country. We got together last Friday evening to photograph their engagement pictures before their special day two days later (Wedding Pictures coming soon!) I instantly fell in love with these two, super laid back, a pleasure to photograph and fun to be around. It was only fitting being tourists for the day, I showed them the sights so we went to the Golden Gate Bridge which was naturally foggy and freezing but can you tell from these images? along with the Lyon Street Steps where we made a new canine friend :) Huge Congratulations to you both!! It was an absolute pleasure being part of your celebration xo

They could be thought of as a row of sculptural "snapshots", held moments, a sequential row of visual images, ideas or musings by the artist – these are the tableaux created by Paul Dibble. This is a name given to a method of working, making works which are individual pieces yet part of a whole.
The imagery suggest an interest in the peculiarities, odd instances and nostalgic trips back – a colonial gentleman walking past a tree of birds perhaps a new English immigrant where the colony of natives are laughing at his hat; a car beside an ancient forest; the ubiquitous kiwi beer bottle, now seeming something of a relic with a tui perched on its top; another native, now a fantail resting on its relic of an unusual mask and dispersing of rabbits, one of our most hated residents, anthropomorphised into performing human tricks.
This isn't Dibble's first use of the tableaux. They go back to 2002 when they first played out the story of the town of Waitakaruru where the artist was born and raised. Then followed a part historic study of New Zealand and its artefacts (2003) and a road trip of Australia (again in 2003 designed for exhibition in Sydney) seen through a New Zealanders eyes. But whether the imagery is kangaroo and bottle trees, the scenes of Captain Cook and Banks on their travels around the Firth of Thames or more random scenes, the formal aesthetics are the same. As a series of individual studies they must meld into a full work, a game of juxtaposition, linking the massive against the fine and linear, curves against straight, and the repeats of horizontal with diagonals and shaping to give interest.
Standing out, in the same way that the flowers themselves are prominent in a crowded dark New Zealand forest, is a golden kowhai, like a tucked away treasure. The petals have been gilded in gold, making real the phrase that statesman William Pember-Reeves coined when he referred to their colour as "the gold of the kowhai".
There are larger works as part of the exhibition. In I am a Heron a bird-man hides behind a female mask. A Corten geometric stand with its oxidised orange-brown becomes a perching site for New Zealand birds. As an exhibition it lies in a land between memories and imaginings, but in a country that is definitely the artist's own.

I am saved, I am being saved, and I will be saved.
"However, if the men of Corinth are looking to follow the path of Christ, and are looking for ways to set their hearts right and become human, then their immature humanity has a hope that can be found through Christ. The path of Christ follows the thought process "I am saved, I am being saved, and I will be saved." This path maintains that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He has saved us in the past by dying on the cross, He saves us from the sin we commit every day, and He will continue to save us from now until eternity. One might think that Paul wrote them, saying they were mere men in the hope that even though he considered them as human, they would grow and mature over time, thereby becoming human, in the same way that Jesus Christ has become our Savior."

When I look outside, I see that the world is finally in tune to my heart. The pounding of ice hitting a undeserved asphalt floor, the cold and unfeeling wind biting those who face it, the rain struggling to regain its upper hand in the fight for precipitation makes me feel at peace. Finally the sky understands the angry denial and storm that reaches down to my very bones.
Why would I choose hail?
It represents me.
The hailstorm of anger and arrogance parades in my soul.
My mind is that pounding ice, telling me that I'm not good enough.
My heart is that stinging wind, howling at those who have hurt me.
But my soul is that rain, fighting to regain ground. My soul softly comes around after the outbreak of the ice and wind. My soul reminds me that I am enough for the world around me.
And just as the sun breaks as the rain softly falls and the hail abates, so does the love that I cannot see. It permeates my center, spreading until all is silent except His words: I love you, my child. Come home.

A Pre-Raphaelite Fascination with Arthuriana
Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Through the wave that runs for ever
By the island in the river
Flowing down to Camelot.
Four gray walls, and four gray towers,
Overlook a space of flowers,
And the silent isle imbowers

"It's So Lonely When You Don't Even Know Yourself."
Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
Only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.

Behind You
Sometimes it's too much
And sometimes i can't breathe
When your words for her
Came crashing down on me
I know you didn't mean to
And I know this should be done
But I can't help but think
Were we ever meant to be?
All my questions leave
And all my thoughts go south
From a single problemOne little memory.

There are so many wonderful things I could say about this video. For example, the person that first comes to mind when I hear it. The person who got me interested in Lady Gaga. The person who would post Lady Gaga songs on my facebook because she knew about the energy that belonged to Lady Gaga and the lyrics that required more than an ounce of brain power to listen to. The person who I thought was there for me and I thought I was there for them.
You've left me speechless.

Promise me... When this one's right.. Don't throw it all away.
Does he watch your favorite movies?
Does he hold you when you cry?
Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts when you've seen it a million times?
Does he sing to all your music while you dance to Purple Rain?
...Will he make you feel like you're invincible with every word he'll say?

Five Fall Faves: featuring Laura of Styled by Laura
Hi Everyone!
I'm Laura from Styled by Laura and I'm thrilled to be posting on Johanna's gorgeous blog today, sharing my favourite things about fall! With the change of seasons, I always look forward to the beautiful autumnal colours and crunching through fallen leaves on a crisp morning. Wrapping up warm in cozy layers and knee high boots is also something I'm really looking forward to over the coming weeks. I'm loving the leather trend this season, especially when teamed with peplum, so this top is definitely one for my wish list. Finally, there's nothing better than glossy nails in a a rich, deep tone to add the finishing touch to any fall look.
Thanks to Johanna for having me today!
Thanks Laura! The peplum top is phenomenal. #inlove
