After quietly selling millions worldwide, singer is now in the spotlight thanks to ‘Only Time.’ Ever since the success of her 1988 single “Orinoco Flow,” Enya’s been one of the world’s most popular artists, quietly selling more than 50 million albums while staying, for the most part, out of the spotlight. But now, with her latest single — the gently reassuring “Only Time” — becoming part of the soundtrack to the post-September 11 world, Enya’s very much at the center of attention. [More]

According to Ringer spy Jackie, you could adapt this to make your own Galadriel costume…[More]
Lateral thinking from Ringer Spy Jakcie, who wrote to say “I was looking around today for costumes that could be used for LOTR costumes. I found one that could work pretty well for Galadriel, so I thought I’d tell you about it in case any of your readers are also looking for Halloween costumes. You’d still need a blond wig and maybe some kind of elven crown, but I figured that this would be an easy start for a lot of people.” Thanks, Jackie
For all you home brewers, ArcherSam shares his recipe for the beer from the Green Dragon, or so he reckons. Ah, but is it a regular 1420? I’m expecting feedback from y’all in the next 2 weeks….[More]
For all you home brewers out there, ArcherSam has this recipe to share with you:
Hi, for those home brewers out there I put together a simple little Bywater special brown ale served quite often at the Green Dragon inn (and often quaffed by Sam Gamgee). It consists of:
6lbs pale malt extract
12 oz. crystal malt
4 oz. chocolate malt
1-1/2 oz. roasted barley
1 oz. Styrian Goldings boiling hops
1/2 oz. Cascade aroma hops
2/3 cup corn sugar for bottle priming
1to 2 pks. Nottingham ale yeast
[Heat?] Crushed grains in 1-1/2 gallons water to 150 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove grains and add malt extract. Bring water to boil, add boiling hops for 60 minutes. Add aroma hops last 2 minutes of boil. Remove from heat and add to primary fermenter with water to 5 gallons. Add yeast at 80 degrees or so. Ferment for a few days and rack to a secondary fermenter for another 7 to 10 days. Bottle with 2/3 cup corn sugar.
For home brewers this should be a simple but tasty recipe. I have often shared a pint at the Green Dragon with many a hobbit.
Cheers!
Archersam
