Princes of Dol Amroth included Denethor, Steward of Gondor and Eomer, King of Rohan.

Lothlórien was the fairest forest of the Elves of the Third Age.

Isengard and its black tower Orthanc were both built in the Second Age of Middle-earth.

Fangorn Forest was was bordered by the Misty Mountains to the west, Isengard to the southwest, to the east and south by Rohan, and to the north and northeast by Lothlórien, in case anybody was wondering.

What did you wish for on your birthday, new knees, new hips, or some other part that has failed you? I Kid Because You're Old Have a great one, Tex!!

Thanks Big Jim. Good luck in LA!

Kudos, Fellow Slackers!

Mr. Incredible, we're going to miss you!

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 04:03 AM) now, when you say boil low... It's really easy to burn all that sugar, and for a straight simple syrup you don't want to caramelize the sugars. Stir on medium heat until the syrup begins to boil and then reduce heat so it's just boiling, let it go for 10 minutes stirring occasionally, and the sugar will be well dissolved and woun't come out of suspension and crystalize as the bottle sits. I make cinamon and dark sugar and ginger-infused simple syrups the same way, and also use the simple sugar as the sugar base for homemade falernum, allspice liqueur, etc. cheap and easy.

Can't stop posting in this stoopid thread.

I assume Legend's is what DeLuxe turned into and the fish sandwich is their original recipe. If so, it is one of the best fish sandwiches you'll ever have. Totally surprised nobody has told you to make sure you get out to Chester Street.

Zinnnggg!!

Crazy turn of events for sure.

QUOTE (Nixon @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 05:12 PM) According to the conference calls the parks east of the Mississippi will continue to operate as is. Meaning Marvel characters will probably get some play in Disney in Ca. Whatever money Marvel was earning out of these agreements go to Disney but Disney can't break these deals. Fox & Sony still own the rights to the movies they're currently producing, from an article I read there will be one more movie after The Avengers. Pixar is already working on a movie based on John Carter of Mars and apparently there's something else that's in the pipeline. I am f***ing stoked. The Wolverine/Xmen licenses can't be free of Fox soon enough for me. Andrew Stanton is directing John Carter, but he's doing it for Disney and not Pixar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carter_of_Mars_(film) Also, the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate owned the rights not, marvel, and Disney acquired them from the estate in 2007. John Carter, like Tarzan, i interesting in that both Marvel and DC had characters from those universes in their comics. DC's John Carter connection was almost exclusively the inclusion of Tars Tarkis in the Legion of Superheroes universe, but I still always found that interesting. As for the Disney/Marvel deal, I don't like it but I understand it from a financial standpoint for both sides.
