The minimum operating temperature recommended for the Kirby Morgan 77 Commercial Diving Helmet is 37 degrees F, only in regards to regulator performance. At the time of this writing, no hot water shroud is available for the Kirby Morgan 77 Commercial Diving Helmet for heating the commercial diver's breathing gas.
Without a Kirby Morgan Hot Water Shroud, the commercial diver may be subject to hypothermia due to cold gas inspiration temperatures. Kirby Morgan makes no physiological recommendations regarding minimum safe operating temperatures for commercial divers using the Kirby Morgan 77 Commercial Diving Helmet.
Usually the greatest danger of demand regulator icing will be encountered on deck when the surrounding air temperature is less than 32°F (0°C). This effect is primarily due to the refrigeration effect of breathing air pressure reduction, and the addition of moisture from the divers exhalation coming in contact with the topside air temperature.
Recommended overbottom (OB) gas supply pressure for best performance at depths are calculated by the formula (fsw x 0.445+14.7) + recommended p.s.i.g.

Product FAQ's
Why is my Stainless Steel Helmet Rusting?
Kirby Morgan would like to assure all stainless steel helmet owners, that the helmet shells are not actually rusting. All of these helmet shells and other main components, are cast and machined from a highly corrosion resistant grade of 316L stainless steel. The investment casting process can produce a very good finish, but this still requires more processing to be acceptable. Each helmet shell is initially hand finished, then, it is processed to a very smooth surface using specialized friction finishing equipment. Even after all this processing, these smooth surfaces will still have small surface porosity that can trap foreign matter, some of which can "rust". This is what will make the surfaces appear to be rusting. This foreign matter that may be trapped, needs to be cleaned away, and the surfaces need to be protected. Basic cleaning and protection should be performed on a regular basis and may need to be performed more often depending on what type of environment the helmets are used in.
NOTE, This "Rusting" issue can also be seen on Fiberglass helmet shells and chrome plated brass parts. It is what is stuck to those surfaces that is "rusting". Not the fiberglass or chrome.
Cleaning Procedures for the stainless steel helmet
Thoroughly clean the components with a cleaning soap such as Simple Green. A soft scrubbing tool can help to remove excess materials. Dry the components and wipe completely with Isopropyl alcohol and allow to evaporate. Using a kitchen sponge with an abrasive side. Wet and apply hand soap that contains a slight abrasive (LAVA hand soap works very well, or Go-Jo Pumice, citric hand soap), and simply rub onto the affected area of the helmet shell. The unwanted stains will easily be removed.
NEVER USE STEEL WOOL TO PERFORM THIS TASK. It will deeply imbed iron particles into the stainless and may cause severe rusting to the component.
Citric acid or diluted vinegar can be used to passivate stainless steel and remove any light rust. A lemon half works well as a scrubbing tool, and at the same time provides the citric acid to help eliminate small surface particles of rust. Allow enough liquid to deposit on all affected surfaces and allow it to settle for at least 30 minutes. Rinse and re-apply as needed. Rinse again and finish wipe with the Isopropyl alcohol allow to dry completely.
Apply at least 2 coats of a good quality paste wax. This will help seal surface porosity to prevent foreign matter from being trapped, which may then rust.
It is best to clean as much of the helmet surfaces as possible, rather than cleaning only affected areas, as this will help prevent any future issues. A basic cleaning and waxing procedure should be performed as part of a routine cleaning regiment.
Kirby Morgan suggests the use of lemon juice/lemons, or vinegar for the source of acid. These types of acid will help dissolve certain stains, rust and certain residue buildup such as hard water and mineral deposits. Because they are natural and non-toxic, Kirby Morgan highly recommends them for this procedure.
NOTE: All new stainless helmet shells are electro chemical cleaned (electropolished) and friction polished to a very smooth exterior surface finish. If so desired, the surface can be brought to a higher luster using basic polishing techniques, (i.e. polishing compounds and light buffing techniques).
What is the fitting type on the emergency valve?
The threads at the end of the emergency valve are 9/16-18. A standard scuba hose, female (9/16"-18) will attach to them.
What's included with the Kirby Morgan 77 Commercial Diving Helmet?
Does Kirby Morgan sell a Hot Water Shroud Kit for any of the stainless steel helmets?Unfortunately, Kirby Morgan does not have a Hot Water Shroud Kit available for any of the stainless steel helmets at this time.

Forget 4K displays. Artist Chris Shen has different ideas about how a TV should look—so he built a display from 625 linked remote controls to produce images using their infrared bulbs.
Shen rounded up a whole heap of old remotes, then rigged them up on a large metal frame with their infrared elements facing outwards. Then they were all linked up to an LED pegboard, using speaker wire, so he could send a video signal out to them.
With each remote acting as a pixel, the result is a video that can only be viewed through infrared goggles. It's a project filled with artist statement sure—he claims it's a meditation on technological evolution and power—but it's one we can get behind. Check out the video the system can pump out below—just be prepared to squint a little.
Shen's exhibition, INFRA, is currently on display at 18 Hewett Street in London, until February 3rd. [Chris Shen via Slam X Hype via Verge]

Alcaraz hails Stones impact at Everton
Everton defender Antolin Alcaraz has tipped teenager John Stones for a big future after he impressed again on Saturday.
With Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin sidelined due to hamstring injuries, Alcaraz and Stones have stepped in at the heart of Everton's defence in the last two matches.
The 19-year-old Stones – who joined from Barnsley in January last year – was the man-of-the-match in the Merseyside club's 4-0 FA Cup win over QPR on Saturday after impressing in the Premier League draw at Stoke City.
"He (Stones) is a young lad and he has a big future," Alcaraz told evertontv.
"He is a great player and I think he is going to improve a lot. He had a great game against Stoke and also now (against QPR).
"He has a lot of quality but he is a young guy and he needs more games to improve and learn.
"But if he continues in this way then he has a big future and he will make a big impact in the Premier League."
Everton travel to Stevenage in the fourth round of the FA Cup later this month and Alcaraz – who won the FA Cup with Everton manager Roberto Martinez at Wigan Athletic last season – is hopeful of another lengthy cup run.
"We knew how important it was to win and we are through to the next round," he added.
"We will do everything we can to get to the final at Wembley. It was a good memory last year and I want to repeat that again."

New Cabinets
Last Monday, on President's Day, the people from Anderson Millwork rolled up in a big truck and started unloading cabinets. Sarah and I were upstairs, and started watching them out of the bedroom window. We saw that they were having a lot of trouble getting one big unit through the gate in our back yard. I told Sarah it was too bad that Jim, who was out running errands, wasn't home because he would love to get involved and find a solution. The Anderson people measured the gate--many times--and measured the cabinet--about the same number of times, shook their heads, and brought out cell phones to confer with someone.
Just then Jim drove in. Sarah and I watched him talk and gesticulate. I said, "He's advising them just to toss it over the fence and he'll catch it," I told her. Jim came in. He announced to us that one cabinet was too big. "I suggested that we could all grab hold and just kind of heave it over the fence," he said, "but they'd already called their boss, and apparently he told them to take it apart." He sounded disappointed.
All the cabinets were safely delivered, and stacked up in our back porch
and in our kitchen.
There were many, many cabinets.
These are all made from alder.
No one has ever heard of alder. In fact, this is how all conversations relating to our choices of wood go:
Q: Are you having hardwood floors?
A: Yes.
Q: What kind of wood?
A: Eucalyptus. It's called Lyptus.
Q: Eucalyptus? What? Really?
A: Yes.
Q: I've never heard of such a thing. What about your cabinets.
A: Alder.
Q: Alder? What? Really?
A: Yes.
Q: I've never heard of it.
Sue, our carpenter, tells us that alder is known as "poor man's cherry." I don't really like having a "poor man's" option, but I guess that "middle-class woman's cherry" doesn't have the same ring to it. It really doesn't look much like cherry anyway, in my opinion. They'd do better to call it "blind man's cherry." As Adam points out to us, fashions in wood change rapidly. I'm not sure if alder is on its way in or on its way out. I hope we have a couple of years before people say, "Alder? Lyptus? How passe."
During the past week, our carpenters started installing the cabinets. This is a cute little corner cabinet:
This one is now ready for the sink.
This will be the eating area:
And this is the space for the cooktop, with big drawers underneath for pots and pans, and whatever else should be handy to the stove.
It dawns on me for the first time that when it's all done, I'm going to have to put everything away, but I'll no longer know what "away" is, so I'll have to figure out where it all goes.
We're now ready for the granite measure, which is what will happen next week.

this is weird, like reliving our kitchen project. i have to tell you that our biggest cabinet box had a bit of a dent, and when they opened the box it was obvious there was a problem. it looked like the box had fallen off the truck.....one half of the upper part of a breakfront was in pieces. we got a WHOLE one the next week, but it was unsettling to say the least!
- evil cake lady said...
BBC, maybe it's just a woody oregon thing, but i know what alder is...and i have also heard of it as the "poor man's cherry"...but i like alder--its not too dark.
now, eucalyptus flooring--that is cool! i know the tree, just never heard of it used for floors. it doesn't happen to smell all neat and menthol-like does it? i'm sure it doesn't, but that would be kind of neat, especially as i am quite congested today. i could come over and lay on your floors and breathe deep.
Your cabinets looks Wonderful, beautiful cabinets! So many cabinets! Just what you wanted! What a joy it will be to open your boxes of stored kitchen things and decide where everything will go! Love the color of the alder ... how it works with the colors of the lyptus floor. GORGEOUS! I have been waiting with such excitement, checking your blog daily, to see the cabinetry.
I find it interesting to discover that I'd thought, somehow, that with the cabinets in place it would look more finished, but there's still so much left. I'm amazed at how much: grantite tops, tile work, trim, hardware, sinks, appliances, oh, and paint color! And each step makes such a huge difference, doesn't it!
Watching this process is totally fascinating. It's truly a transformation... from your former kitchen to this place of sublime rich woods and clean lines and no wasted space. Even with all the construction tools and shims, it has a sense of calm. It's very cool to watch the creation of something beautiful. And while you may not feel this way surrounded by sawdust, even if it is sweet smelling, to me, as onlooker, there's almost something spiritual in watching this creation.
Is it because it's a space which is clearly going to please and delight you, bring you joy daily ...which is powerful stuff? Is it because the space will be an extension of you, who you are, how you cook, what pleases you? a personal expression of the beauty you will create there? Is it because in its own beauty and design it will then feed your creativity in baking and cooking, the products of which will, in turn feed, please and delight others? Too many thoughts! I can't nail it. But I wonder if somehow it's all organically intwined: the process, the result, the beauty, the materials, the degree of love which is going into each choice of material, of each step of the work. And It's as though all the baking which happened there is a force in creating what will be: the caterpillar and the butterfly.
I'll stop now: I'm likely sounding too sappy and you will be wondering about this crazy lady who is blathering on about a kitchen!!
Suffice to say: your cabinets are beautiful.
- breadbasketcase said...
The whole process is a little unsettling, isn't it? You start to realize how very many things could go wrong. Fortunately, most of them don't.
I actually got down on all fours and sniffed the floor (when no one was looking) to see if it smelled like mentholatum. But it doesn't.
Thanks--that's just what I needed to hear! I was feeling sorry for myself about not having a kitchen and about the perpetual mess. It's a real pick-me-up to remember that it's moving along nicely and that it's going to be a joy when it's done.
- pinknest said...
it's looking good! and that's funny about the wood. i'm sure it'll be beautiful once you see it all together.
- breadbasketcase said...
I like it, and I think it's all going to work. I just wish I were more sure of my choices, and didn't always have that little voice saying, "maybe it would have been better if...." or "maybe I should have chosen...."

There was something for every bike fan at this year's Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California, including professional and amateur dirt and road racing, new product demos and a huge consumer expo with 300 exhibitors.
We've already brought you all the news from this year's show, all of which you can access from our Sea Otter page.
Now we're wrapping up our tech coverage with a couple of image galleries covering just about everything we haven't already shown you.
First up is another round of bikes followed by a slew of parts, clothing, accessories and whatever else caught our collective eyes in Monterey.
So sit back, relax and kick your feet up because you could be here a while…
Bianchi Dolomiti
Bianchi's Dolomiti is a blend of old and new with Columbus Spirit steel tubes, chromed lugs and timeless styling. The old-school lettering on the logos give a classic look, and there's some classic chrome work at the back of the bike. The chromed bottom bracket lug is home to Campagnolo external-bearing cups.
The Dolomiti uses old-school angled brake bridges to hide them behind the caliper. We haven't seen the use of this technique very often over the past few years but it's a welcome sight.

Hoteller i Mysore
The Wodeyar dynasty ruled Mysore from 1399 until Independence, apart from a brief period in the late 18th century. The Wodeyars were known as enlightened rulers and great patrons of the arts and culture.
The legacy of this patronage lives in the names of various artistic and traditional items, including the Mysore style of painting; the Mysore Pak, which is a sweet; the Mysore Peta, a traditional turban and the Mysore silk sari.
Mysore retains its place as a producer of fine products in traditional industries such as painting, silk, sandalwood and incense production. Its young and dynamic workforce have also attracted large IT firms and it is a centre for business process outsourcing (BPO).
Mysore is internationally renowned as the home of Ashtanga yoga and attracts visitors from around the world to practice in its many yoga centres.
As you would expect from such an artistic town, Mysore holds many wonderful festivals. People travel from all over India and around the world to witness the city's flamboyant displays during the Dussehra festival.
Mysore is a clean and well-planned city. Visitors find it easy to get around and enjoy wandering through the splendid city at a slower pace than other Indian cities of its size.
When to go:
Mysore can be visited year-round, but the best weather is from September to March.
- Reserve at least a few hours to see the splendid Mysore Palace: a fine example of the Indo-Saracenic school of architecture that blends Hindu and Persian styles and practices. On weekend evenings and holidays the palace is illuminated by close to 100,000 bulbs – don't miss it!
- Climb Chamundi Hill to see the temple devoted to the Goddess Chamundeshwari, who is said to have slaughtered the demon Mahishasura, who ruled the area. Mysore is named after this legend.
- Visit during the state-wide Dussehra festival in September/October. Carrying on the tradition of the opulent Wodeyars, Mysore celebrates the festival in style with a procession of guards leading an idol of Chamundeshwari as well as bedazzled elephants and rich tableux.
- Visit the Mysore Zoo. Established in 1892, it is one of the world's oldest zoos. It has animals from around the world as well as native Indian species including the white tiger and Himalayan black bear.
- Light a candle in the gothic St Philomena's Church, one of the oldest churches in India.
- Stock up on spices at the vibrant Devaraja Market.
- Eat some masala puri, the favourite snack of Mysoreans.
- Take a trip out to either Bandipur or Nagarhole National Parks, both home to India's elusive tigers.
- Buy some carved sandalwood, wooden toys and incense. Mysore is rightly famous for these products.
- Take a trip to see the famous Jain sculpture of Gomateshvara, also known as Shravanabelagola.

Research Management | News
Durham University is adopting a new research information system, which is expected to help address several research-oriented goals set out in the university's 2010-2020 strategy. The institution, located in Northern England, will be deploying Converis from Thomson Reuters.
Converis acts as a portal to help users manage the research lifecycle, from idea generation to "exploitation." It offers a set of modules for managing pre- and post-award activities, publications, and graduate students and provides research analytics. The primary purposes of the tool suite are to facilitate better communications among researchers and administrators within the institution and to streamline workflow.
"We are happy to be collaborating with Thomson Reuters to advance the efficacy of our research support," said Wendy Harle, director of the university's Research Office. "As the international research landscape becomes increasingly competitive, it is critical to have access to a research management system like CONVERIS that provides an array of flexible tools and a comprehensive view of our research activity that will enable us to maximize the success of our research efforts."
Thomson Reuters acquired the application as part of its purchase of Germany-based Avedas in December 2013. Shortly, the company expected to announce integration between Converis and InCites, its research evaluation tool for analyzing and benchmarking research output. According to the vendor, InCites will access Converis research data in its bibliometric reporting.
Converis is in use by the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Brighton, among many other schools.

Antioxidants to the Rescue
October 25, 2010
Both HIV infection and exposure to medicines, including anti-HIV medicines, can affect mitochondria, the parts of a cell that produce energy. Impaired mitochondria produce less energy and so cells do not function properly. At the level of tissues or organs this can lead to organ dysfunction and perhaps even affect the immune system.
Researchers at the University of Miami and elsewhere in the U.S. collaborated on a pilot study to assess the impact of antioxidants and nutrients used by the body to make antioxidants on the functioning of mitochondria. Their preliminary findings suggest that a mix of nutrients is helpful in improving the functioning of mitochondria, at least in the short term. There were also hints of favourable changes to the immune system.
Study Details
Researchers enrolled 25 HIV-positive adults who were on stable ART regimens and whose viral loads were less than 50 copies/ml. They were randomly assigned to one of the following interventions for eight consecutive weeks:
To test for damage to mitochondria, participants' blood was analysed using an assay called Oxphos activity from the MitoSciences Corporation in Eugene, Oregon.
The average profile of participants at the start of the study was as follows:
Over the eight weeks of this pilot study there were trends that approached but did not achieve statistical significance with the following metrics:
Bear in mind that this was a small study and it can take several months for new CD4+ cells to be produced and complete their maturation cycle before becoming fully functional. So, any increased cell numbers seen before this time likely arise from cells that were either redistributed from lymph nodes and tissues (where 98% of the body's lymphocytes are found) into blood or from cells that were rescued from death by antioxidants. Had this study enrolled many more participants and continued for up to two years, they might have found statistically significant changes.
Statistically significant differences in mitochondria function were seen between the two interventions, with improvements in the group that received nutrients. And a trend toward decreased insulin resistance was seen in the group that received nutrients. This is not surprising because in animal experiments alpha-lipoic acid has been found to decrease insulin resistance. HIV infection appears to increase the risk for diabetes by increasing inflammation, and antioxidants such as alpha-lipoic acid have the potential to improve insulin resistance.
Maintained in Canada
The present pilot study shows some encouraging trends that need to be better understood in further controlled clinical trials. One such trial, the Maintain study (CTN 238), is underway across Canada. This study explores the impact of a more complex mix of antioxidants and micronutrients in HIV-positive people. Click here for more information about the Maintain study.

text: Cape Verde coach spent a week shadowing Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho to pick up tips [AFP]Cape Verde Islands coach Luis Antunes will have an advantage over his 15 rivals when the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations kicks off on Saturday.Anxious that his debutants do not suffer the same three-loss humiliation as Botswana and Niger in the previous edition last year, the 46-year-old air traffic controller sought the help of Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho.The self-proclaimed 'Special One' agreed that Antunes could spend one week shadowing him as he went about his work with superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo at one of the most famous football clubs in the world. "Antunes is an intelligent coach. He has his own ideas, is well-organised, methodical and ambitious. He is a very good coach" Jose Mourinho Mourinho, who has won league titles with Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, was impressed by the man who plotted the downfall of four-time champions Cameroon in a 2013 Africa Cup eliminator."Antunes is an intelligent coach. He has his own ideas, is well-organised, methodical and ambitious. He is a very good coach," was the glowing Mourinho assessment of the Cape Verdean. On a sabbatical from his air traffic controller post at Nelson Mandela airport on the island of Sal since 2010, Antunes played down local media comparisons with Mourinho and Brazilian World Cup winner Luis Felipe Scolari."They are two coaches who operate on quite a different level and can draw on a different realm of experience. The comparison simply is not justified, but I would give anything to be a Mourinho or Scolari," he told reporters.Antunes, who succeeded Portuguese Joao de Deus as coach after working with national age-limit squads, could hardly have asked for a tougher start at the premier African football competition.South Africa in front of 90,000 hostile supporters, many blowing ear-piercing vuvuzelas (plastic horns) at Soccer City stadium in Soweto, is the task awaiting a Blue Sharks team skippered by veteran defender Nando Saturday. 'Who knows?' But Antunes is unperturbed and has set his ambitions far higher than damage limitation in Group A against 1996 winners South Africa, former champions Morocco, and Angola."We are dreaming of reaching the quarter-finals and then, who knows? We might even get to the semi-finals," he says of a team containing two locals plus barely known footballers scattered across the leagues of Europe."It is very important to show Africa and the world a good image of the Cape Verde Islands so that people can see the amount of work we have done over the past few years."With a population of little more than 500,000 on 10 islands 600 kilometres off the Senegalese coast, Cape Verde is the smallest country to compete at the Cup of Nations.But the progress of the Sharks has been remarkable with the team ranked 15 in Africa and 70 in the world by FIFA this week - higher than Morocco (17/74), Angola (19/78) and South Africa (22/85)."Tactically speaking, we have made a lot of progress, we play well as a unit and we fight hard for each other. Everyone comes back to help out defensively," boasted Netherlands-based defender Guy Ramos. SOURCE: AFP Sport Football Angola Botswana Cameroon

Frodo Baggins was a hobbit of the Third Age, the most famous of all Hobbits in the histories for his leading role in the Quest of the Ring. During this epic quest, he bore the One Ring to Mount Doom and there destroyed it, giving him renown like no other Halfling throughout Middle-earth. He is also peculiar for being, as a Ring-bearer, one of the three Hobbits who sailed from Middle-earth to Aman, there to die in peace.
Childhood and youth
Frodo was the child of the respectable Drogo Baggins and Primula Brandybuck, born on 22 September of S.R. 1368. After his parents died in a boating accident he went to live in Brandy Hall with his mother's relatives of the Brandybucks. He grew up under the guardianship of the Master of Buckland Rorimac "Goldfather" Brandybuck, who was his uncle. In Brandy Hall he soon developed a reputation as a troublemaker, stealing mushrooms and causing a general fuss; one of his most traumatic experiences was when he was caught by Farmer Maggot who terrified little Frodo with his three dogs.
He was raised by Rory until his uncle Bilbo took him in to live at Bag End, his estate in Hobbiton. He enjoyed life with his "queer" Uncle Bilbo, with whom they shared the same birthday; he taught him to read, and told him stories of the past, even giving him some instruction in the elvish tongue. It is possible Bilbo even took his young cousin to see the elves that wandered about outside the Shire. Frodo developed a profound affection for his mentor. Bilbo made him his heir, frustrating the attempts of the disagreeable Sackville-Bagginses who coveted the inheritance.
Frodo and Bilbo got on like this until T.A. 3001. At this time Bilbo had planned his "disappearance" and withdrawal from the Shire, and threw an enormous birthday party for himself, as he was turning 111. On the same date, Frodo was turning 33 - the coming-of-age for hobbits. As Frodo was told by Bilbo during their preparations, Bilbo disappeared suddenly during the party to the shock of the Hobbits assembled. When Frodo returned home, now as the Master of Bag End, he found that Bilbo had left him the "magic ring".
Master of Bag EndGandalf the wizard, who had come for the festivities, warned Frodo not to use the magic ring, and to keep it secret and safe. He then left back into the wide world, curiosity nagging his mind about the ring.
Frodo, meanwhile, was pretty well off. He lived in peace and respectability for seventeen years, when Gandalf returned with the dreadful revelation that the "magic ring" was really the One Ring of Sauron, a thing of evil power thousands of years old. Furthermore, the Dark Lord was now aware of its survival, and would be searching for it. Gollum had told under torture where it was. After a long discussion and a test by fire of Gandalf's conclusions, the two agreed that Frodo would have to leave the Shire for his own safety and Samwise Gamgee the gardener would go with him. Gandalf recommended Rivendell as a destination, as the road was likely safe and the haven good. He told Frodo to take the alias Underhill abroad. Frodo was reluctant, but bought a house in Crickhollow as an excuse to head east.
Gandalf stayed for two months while Frodo worked out the details. At the end of that time he left to "get some news", as rather disturbing tidings had come to his ears. He promised to be back for the farewell party. Meanwhile, Frodo was not aware that some of his closest friends were watching him; Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger, his cousins Peregrin "Pippin" Took, and Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck, and Sam himself, knew that Frodo and Gandalf were in some trouble concerning the Ring, and that Frodo was preparing for a long adventure.
As autumn passed, Frodo was waiting for Gandalf who did not return, and Frodo grew quite anxious. His friends, Folco Boffin, Fredegar, Pippin and Merry helped him to pack for his travel to Crickhollow. Merry and Fatty later drove the cart of Frodo's belongings ahead, while Frodo still waited for Gandalf. At the last possible day he departed with Pippin and Sam, having sold Bag End to the Sackville-Baggins.
Hobbiton to CrickhollowBlack Rider that had spoken to his father, Gaffer Gamgee, some time earlier. This made Frodo wary, curious, and frightened at the same time. He wished that he had waited for Gandalf.
That night, they were again overtaken by a Black Horseman. This time it seemed to be able to sniff out their hiding place. But as it approached, it was driven away by the song of a group of Elves. Frodo, knowing the most about Elves, identified them as High Elves, and suggested that they wait to meet them. Their leader, Gildor, greeted the hobbits warmly, and lauded Frodo for his knowledge of their tongue. Frodo tried to get information from Gildor on the Black Riders, but the elf would tell him very little. Gildor foresaw that Frodo would have many dealings with the Riders in the future, and urged him to flee them whenever he met them. He and his party left the Hobbits before daybreak, while they slept.
The next day the threesome agreed to stay off the road. After a brief scare when Sam sighted a Rider, they worried about losing their way. That evening they heard a terrible wail, and Frodo distinguished words in it. Before long they came to Bamfurlong, the property of Farmer Maggot. Although Pippin knew Maggot, Frodo recalled a scare he had received at a young age after caught stealing the farmer's mushrooms, being threatened with the dogs. He froze when Grip, Fang, and Wolf came forth from the house, but Maggot's hospitality soon won him over. When Maggot told of a Black Rider who had stopped at his house asking for "Baggins," and made several shrewd guesses, Frodo grew uncomfortable. Maggot took them to Bucklebury Ferry in his wagon. There they joined up with Meriadoc. As they were ferried across into Buckland, they caught sight of a dark shape on the landing from which they had come.
It was Merry who came for them.
Crickhollow to BreeRivendell. The next morning, leaving Fatty to keep house, they plunged into the Old Forest.Withywindle, where they were ensnared by Old Man Willow. Rescued by Tom Bombadil, the hobbits came to his house. There they met Tom's wife, Goldberry, and Frodo was moved to poetry over her loveliness. He was interested in Bombadil himself, and several times tried to learn who he was. That night he dreamed of a white-haired figure on a pinnacle of stone, borne away by an eagle.
The next day Frodo tried on the Ring, after finding it had no effect on Bombadil. Tom nevertheless could see him, for he was not subjected to the Ring's power. That night he dreamed once more, a dream he never forgot.
Frodo heard a sweet singing running in his mind: a song that seemed to come like a pale light behind a grey rain-curtain, and growing stronger to turn the veil all to glass and silver, until at last it was rolled back, and a far green country opened before him under a swift sunrise.barrow-downs. Getting lost in the mist, however, they were taken by the barrow-wights, Frodo last of all. Frodo woke in the barrow to find the barrow-wight bending over his three friends. He rose and in a tremendous act of bravery and resilience took a sword and smote off the wight's hand. Then he summoned Bombadil with a song taught him, and Bombadil drove the wight away. Bombadil helped him wake Merry, Pippin, and Sam, gave them their ponies, and escorted them all to the road before turning his face back toward Withywindle. The hobbits, meanwhile, entered Bree and took lodging (at Bombadil's recommendation) at The Prancing Pony inn, Frodo under the name of Underhill, as Gandalf had suggested.
—The Fellowship of the Ring, Fog on the Barrow-downs
Strider and WeathertopBarliman Butterbur to the gathering, Frodo under his alias and with the story that he was writing a book and came to Bree to gather information. Frodo also asked if Gandalf was present in Bree, only to learn that he had not yet arrived. While Pippin and Sam enjoyed the drink and conversation, Frodo remained withdrawn, soon falling into conversation with a curious ranger called Strider, who gave him a warning about letting his friends talk to much. Pippin began to tell about Bilbo's Birthday Party, and Frodo, at Strider's encouragement and in an attempt to prevent the name of Baggins from being raised, began to sing The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late. This proved popular with the gathering, but unfortunately, as Frodo relaxed, he fell from the table and the Ring slipped on his finger, causing him to vanish.
Frodo crawled over to Strider's corner and slipped off the Ring. Then he tried to make the best of a bad situation, saying that he had rolled quickly to the side. The suspicious Breelanders, however, grew angry or frightened, and eventually all left the common-room. Frodo and his comrades retired to their room, where they found Strider waiting to talk to them. Strider was honest and blunt, telling what he had overheard and what he knew of them, as well as warning them of the Black Riders and traitors in Bree. He urged them to accept his aide by inviting him into the company. Frodo was leaning to believe the ranger when Butterbur broke in, giving Frodo the long-awaited letter from Gandalf, undelivered by Butterbur's forgetfulness. After some little bit of light was shed on the situation to the innkeeper, he swore to help the hobbits in any way he could, as a friend of Gandalf and one very much afraid of Mordor. Frodo, reading the letter, learned that Gandalf recommended Strider as one to whom Frodo could go for help. After some further debate, Frodo agreed to let Strider lead them to Rivendell.Chetwood and Midgewater, and finally to the Weather Hills before coming up to Weathertop. Black Riders were sighted from the top of the cairn, and Strider counseled to remain where they were. That night, around a fire, Frodo began to tell of Gil-galad but was cut off by Strider, who chose instead to chant a part of the Lay of Leithian. Shortly after the Black Riders came, and Frodo was stricken down. In desperation he put on the Ring and saw the Nazgûl in their true forms. Frodo then tried to attack in Elbereth's name, but their leader, the Witch-king of Angmar, stabbed Frodo in the chest before fleeing with his minions from Weathertop.
The War of the Ring
This article or section needs expansion and/or modification. Please help the wiki by expanding it.
Frodo almost faded and became a servant of the Dark Lord, but he was brought to House of Elrond, Elrond healed him. There, at Elrond's Council, it was decided that the Ring must be destroyed by casting it into the Crack of Doom. A Fellowship was formed to protect Frodo as the Ring-bearer. His quest to destroy the Ring forms a large portion of The Lord of the Rings. Eventually, he succeeded in reaching Orodruin, where, at the last moment, he attempted to claim the Ring, whose power had grown too great for him. However, at that moment he was attacked by Gollum, who seized the Ring and then fell into the fire with it, thus destroying the Ring.
Two years after the destruction of the Ring, still troubled by the wounds he received during the War of the Ring, Frodo and Bilbo as Ring-bearers were given the right to travel to Valinor where, though remaining mortal, they might rest and be healed, together with Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel. They boarded a ship from the Grey Havens and passed over the sea on 29 September, T.A. 3021. Having no children of his own, Frodo left his estate and passed on the Red Book to Samwise Gamgee who followed Frodo across the sea 61 years later, following the death of his wife Rose (nee) Cotton.
Description and equipment
The only real description of Frodo's appearance is given only once by Gandalf in his letter to Barliman Butterbur, in which he is declared a "stout fellow with red cheeks, taller than some [hobbits], and fairer [more light-haired] than most", with a cleft chin, a bright eye, and a perky personality.
Frodo carried a small Elven sword (actually a dagger) called Sting and wore a coat of Dwarven chainmail made of Mithril under his clothes, both given to him by Bilbo. At Lothlórien, Galadriel gave him an Elven cloak that blends him in with the natural surroundings and a phial carrying the light of the star Eärendil to aid him on his quest.
Before Frodo went back to the Shire (after the Quest of the Ring was completed), Arwen Evenstar, wife of Aragorn and daughter of Elrond, gave Frodo a white stone to wear around his neck.
Etymology and translations
The name Frodo Baggins is an English translation of his Westron name Maura Labingi. The name Maura has the element maur- (wise, experienced), which Tolkien equivalated to the Germanic element frod- of the same meaning. Frodo's name in Sindarin was Iorhael ("old-wise") although in some instance he is mentioned as Daur (probably lenited form of taur).
In the German translation he is called Frodo Beutlin, in Spanish, Frodo Bolsón, in French, Frodon Sacquet, in Norwegian, Frodo Lommelun, in Danish, Frodo Sækker, in Faroese, Fróði Pjøkin in Finnish, Frodo Reppuli and in Dutch, Frodo Balings. In one of three Polish translations he is called Frodo Bagosz, but he keeps his original name in the other two.

In The Prancing Pony Aragorn tells that he is waiting on a Hobbit with an important burden, this refers to Frodo and the One Ring.[2]
- Latter in the game, Frodo appears in Rivendell, but interactions with him do not affect the main plot.

In the world of auto plant openings, platitudes from union leaders, government officials and other dignitaries is part of the routine script.
So when Chrysler announced its latest investment (and plan to hire 1,250 workers) in Detroit Thursday the comments from UAW leader General Holiefield struck me as out of the ordinary.
Holiefield lauded Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne for the turnaround he has overseen with the smallest of the Big 3. But Holiefied went beyond the usual congratulations. He praised Marchionne as the type of auto executive who follows through on his word and wants a genuine partnership with the United Auto Workers.

Published yesterday on SideDish is the story of Ida Chitwood, a lady known to hundreds of thousands of women in the early 20th century, forgotten to all but her family today. I "met" Ida when I wrote a story on TDCB about pecan pie, little did I realize that finding Ida was also in a sense about finding myself. First, let me clarify, I know who I am, senility has not yet set in. But in the last two years, since the oldest went off to college and the youngest got her drivers license, "what's next" had been rattling around in my brain.
And it was tied into the writing I was doing on this blog. Repeating "what am I doing" as I formulated posts unpublished, the question sealed those stories in my memory instead of here. So instead of posting about an incredible week in Napa, I read the autobiography of Elmer Scott. Instead of posting about Sevy's new One Pot Braising sauce, I sat for hours in the UT-A library looking at microfiche of the Fort Worth Star Telegram. My new Friday evening pastime (when hubby was at work) was logging into the Dallas Historical phorum and reading the memories of my neighbors. Or sometimes it was scavenging Ebay and antique stores for old postcards and cook books.
But I still couldn't formulate what it was I was trying to accomplish. It took almost two years of researching Ida before the breakthrough came, and when it did, it set a course of what I needed to do. Just as Ida's breakthrough came from the most simplest of Google searches (duh, why didn't I think of it earlier), my purpose was as close to hand. I needed to find these old stories of people and favorite eating places - put the pieces together and share them, before they were gone forever.
Because food is large part of our cultural history. While not a native, research has shown to me that Dallas has had over the last 150 years some of the most progressive dining in the country. One that goes with our culture, not with cities on the east or west coast. Other transplants would disagree, writing "Dallas feels to me as though it may just be beginning to blossom into a serious food city."
To which I can now reply, "Been there. Done that."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Residents of the French town of Aix-les-Bains near Lyon say they have been receiving flyers urging them to take part in an effort to drive out local Jews.
The flyers claimed that the Jews are "the main people responsible for the decadence of the White People and the invasion of sub-races," and called on recipients to "drive out the Jews who pollute the television, the radio and the cinema."
The flyers were signed by the Church of Wotan, who is a pagan god of German origin.
Some 1,000 Jews live in Aix-les-Bains, and they along with numerous non-Jewish residents have filed complaints with local police.
In related news, a prominent German-Jewish historian last week slammed the government in Berlin for failing to adequately combat anti-Semitism in its own ranks.
Dr. Julius H. Schoeps, who actually serves on the Interior Ministry's commission to fight anti-Semitism, presented a study showing numerous anti-Semitic remarks and actions by German deputy ministers and other government officials in recent months.
Dr. Schoeps charged that there remain anti-Semites in positions of power in Germany, and that the government must do more to curb their influence when it comes to matters concerning Germany's Jewish population.

Apologies for posting on the quick this time–the day job's crunch period is whipping my ass, and on top of that, Jen and I are prepping for a cocktail party (more on that, I hope, next week, if I live through it). This month's theme is fizzy drinks, hosted by Cocktailnerd.
This is based on a drink first served us over a year ago at Flatiron Lounge. Jen requested a Seelbach, but we couldn't remember the precise recipe offhand. The bartender took what ingredients we could remember, thought for a moment, and offered her take on it. You'll note it's basically a Red Hook but with added bubbly.
I wish I could say I used Red Hook Rye for this, but it's still a bit out of my budget. This version uses bonded Rittenhouse. Note, too, that I used Carpano Antica instead of Punt e Mes. Chalk that up to how busy we are. Neither of us had time to get to a shop with Punt e Mes, so I used what was on-hand.
Red Hook Fizz
- 2 oz. rye whiskey
- 1/2 oz. Carpano Antica vermouth
- 1/2 oz. Luxardo maraschino
Technique: Shake over ice, strain into an ice-filled glass, and top with fizz.

Every year since finishing as the Division III runner-up in 2009, the Warwick Vets girls' lacrosse team has had to replace a lot of key performers from the season before. But every year, players have risen to the occasion and have paved the way for solid seasons.
The situation will be even more pronounced this year as Vets fields a very young team. But as always, there are a lot of players ready to seize their moment.
"I graduated a lot of the varsity team from last year, so we have a lot of new kids," said head coach Kathy Moan. "We're going to be a very young team, but from what I've seen so far, they're very enthusiastic and excited to be out there."
The girls' lacrosse program has been one of the school's most consistent since it joined the interscholastic league in 2005, both in terms of success and numbers. The team had posted four consecutive winning seasons before just missing out last year with a 6-8 mark. Numbers have also remained high, and Vets has 43 girls on the roster this year.
"We've got reserves and then reserves for our reserves," Moan joked.
From the big numbers this year, Moan will try to mold another solid squad. It starts with those players who are ready to step into bigger roles.
"It's kind of like a new beginning, a clean slate," Moan said. "The young girls are excited to be out there, and the seniors and returning players are eager to teach them and encourage them. There's a nice vibe with the team right now."
Vets will be led by senior captains Christine Amaral, Tara Hersey and Liz Paras. Amaral was the backup to standout goalie Ashley Aucoin last year and is expected to start in net this year. Paras and Hersey are among the top returning field players.
"The captains are very mature, and they're good leaders," Moan said. "With them leading, I think it's going to be a good growing year for us. I'm encouraged."
In addition to the captains, several other players are stepping up. Senior Jenna Cote will likely join Hersey on attack, while sophomores Casey Bennett, Emily Almonte and Lauren Almonte are in line to anchor the midfield.
"They all have one more year under their belt, and they're more confident," Moan said. "I think they're going to step up their games."
Junior Bianca Capelli is the only player with significant experience on defense, and she'll anchor that unit.
"She's going to play a big role as far as bringing the understanding of the game to the younger girls and being the voice back there," Moan said.
The rest of the lineup will be in flux, with a lot of players coming up from the JV team and several coming out for the first time. But already, Moan has seen improvement.
"From what I've seen, they're all getting better every day," Moan said. "I keep telling them that we just want to improve as the season goes on. I think it's going to be a good season."
The 'Canes would like to find themselves in the playoffs when all is said and done. There will probably be some growing pains along the way, but if history is any indication, the 'Canes will be ready to compete.
"Our ultimate goal is to grab a spot in the playoffs," Moan said. "A couple of teams are really tough in our division, so I have realistic expectations. We know we're not going to win every game. But as long as we see improvement, we'll be happy."
Vets is scheduled to open the season on Wednesday with a 4 p.m. home game against Westerly.

Preserved: Raspberry Rhubarb Ginger Jam
Capture the best of your seasonal produce for later.
Get the Recipe
When I was growing up, for special occasions in the summertime, my mom would bake a raspberry-rhubarb pie. It had a buttery crumb topping flecked with cinnamon and ginger. The pie inevitably turned into a puddle of fruit and crust on the plate, but I loved it nonetheless.
This jam features all the same great flavors as that pie: tart rhubarb, sweet raspberries, and spicy ginger. A few tips: I find the best way to grate fresh ginger is on a microplane. Be sure to catch any extra juice. If your rhubarb stalks are especially fat, halve them lengthwise before chopping them. The goal is to break them down as quickly as possible to preserve the fresh flavors. I used lemon zest and juice in this recipe because that's what I had on hand, but lime would work equally well.
The flavors of this jam are big and bold, so it would work best with straightforward baked goods that won't compete. Skip the cakes and muffins and pair it with simple buttery croissants, whole-wheat toast, or brioche.
