Please join us today in sending love and support to the folks in Christchurch, New Zealand. Only 4 months ago, the same area was rocked by a 6.3 magnitude quake that killed 180 people. While these two quakes were smaller, they have still caused some significant problems. Follow the links for various articles about the latest quakes.

If you would like to donate to help the victims of the previous quake, as well as the new one, please use these official links. [Red Cross] [Christchurch Quake Appeal]

The Washington Post has posted a series of photos from the Tolkien reenactment that takes place every spring in Doksy, Czech Republic. There are some amazing costumes and battles showcased, but we do have to point out one small detail. We don’t think the warrior with the bikini briefs was a core character in Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Probably a rogue, yet eccentric, Orc. 😛 [Gallery]
