		Stewart Brand stands as if the world were rushing at him like a bull and he was ready to vault it: balanced on the balls of his feet, grinning and eager in the car park of an industrial estate outside San Francisco.

		All of Brand's career seems to oscillate between revolution and anachronism: but he sees it as a choice between two forms of revolution: "The contrast between the French revolution and its outcome, and the American revolution and its outcome is actually something that I care about.

		Far off winter was driven; fair lay earth's breast; and fain was the rover, the guest, to depart, though more gladly he pondered on wreaking his vengeance than roaming the deep, and how to hasten the hot encounter where sons of the Frisians were sure to be.
		Wonder it was the wine-hall firm in the strain of their struggle stood, to earth the fair house fell not; too fast it was within and without by its iron bands craftily clamped; though there crashed from sill many a mead-bench -- men have told me -- gay with gold, where the grim foes wrestled.
		Thus made their mourning the men of Geatland, for their hero's passing his hearth-companions: quoth that of all the kings of earth, of men he was mildest and most beloved, to his kin the kindest, keenest for praise.

		Once again "Middle Earth" was able to compose in a unique style they nicknamed "maple rock;" the creation that flowed from their guitars became the beautiful love song, "My Love for You Hows Like Syrup." And the pattern continued.

	S. T. Karnick on Glass Hammer on National Review Online
		Last year's Middle Earth Album featured Tolkien-inspired music and was somehow "recorded live" at the Prancing Pony Inn in Middle Earth.
		The idea of recording an album on Tolkien subjects as if it were being performed in Middle Earth affords a good sense of the cheerful intelligence and easygoing imaginativeness Glass Hammer typically display.
		The same is true of the vocal interplay in the middle section of "Further Up and Further In." While the singers are engaging in this, the background music holds the rhythm steady without introducing new musical themes that would distract us from the central item of musical interest in that passage, the vocal lines.

	Featuring The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth Preview at ActionTrip

		In addition to that, the surroundings were also supplemented with lush plant life, such as trees and grass, both of which are in 3D and can respond to the movement of units through some nifty use of pixel shaders.
		According to EA, the modified C&C: Generals engine has more than enough capacity to deal with massive battle scenes, fully rendered character models, various details in the backdrop, etc. Apparently there will be close to five hundred 3D modeled units on the screen at one time.

	Amazon.com: Lord of the Rings - Middle Earth, Fine Art Poster, 54x39: Kitchen & Housewares
		Understanding the geography of Middle Earth is one of the keys to truly appreciating the Lord of the Rings, and this will certainly help in that regard.
		I checked Karen Wynn Fonstad's "Atlas of Middle Earth" and she follows Tolkien in both of these, so I suspect this is just cartographer's license here.
		As I trudged through the mines of Moria, occasionally dodging an orc arrow, and unfurled my giant-sized poster showing a map of Middle Earth, I almost collapsed in shock, as I saw that they had forgotten something vital.

		In their absence, brands and brand loyalty are the surrogates: 'I always buy Chrysler products' or 'I usually watch CSI on Thursday nights' is your brain's way of substituting brand for the more ideal tools noted above.
		A side-note about branding: Many marketing people, lamenting over the passage of market control from producer to consumer, cite the increasing importance of branding as an organizational strategy, and of brand loyalty as a success factor.
		Once these tools exist (and the Information Age is ripe for them), product brands will simply become community-identification brands ('I drive Chrysler products because they reflect who I am and I want others to see that and associate with me, or not, because of that identification').
