The unique format of Tolkien Moot was pioneered by Hawke Robinson, who operates the MERP.com Website and collaborates on various Tolkien-related projects. Robinson is so serious about gaming he studies it professionally as he works on a doctorate. His research has revealed that dozens of studies seeking to prove the harmful nature of role-playing games have in fact proven that they are therapeutically helpful in many situations. Robinson has reached out to families in his community to support the healthy social aspects of traditional role-playing games (called “pen and paper” gaming by old school gamers).
Known as METR to some, Middle-earth Talk Radio features Robinson and his friend Tolkien scholar Michael Martinez (also a frequent guest at Tolkien Moot) in a relaxed, conversational banter that covers Tolkien-related news, events, rumors, and literature. Martinez, who does not live in Spokane, connects with Robinson over Skype and they have a roaring good time as they rip into hypocritical Tolkien purists, small towns in England that claim a Tolkien heritage, or just elaborate on their ideas about what it means to visit Middle-earth. Tolkien Moot will be held on location at 1506 North Monroe in Spokane, at the East/West World Fitness LLC facility. The public is invited to attend Rethaeh’s performances for free on Friday (August 13), Saturday (August 14), and Sunday (August 15). Martinez will host a special episode of Raw Hobbit, a 1-on-1 talk show styled after William Shatner’s Raw Nerve, and Robinson and Martinez will broadcast an episode of Middle-earth Talk Radio live on Sunday.

| June 18th, 2010 | Five Motives to See the Lion King Musical |

Audiences will delight in hearing well-known tracks from the film, in addition to quite a few brand new songs written specifically for the musical version. All things considered, the Lion King Musical delivers fantastic amusement for all age ranges. In the early 1990s, it seemed like the industry of theatre was crashing and burning. With the costs of putting on a musical theatre show skyrocketing, few people were prepared to fork out for high in price theatre tickets when they could just as easily visit the movie theatre for a small percentage of the price. Luckily, Disney rescued the troubled Broadway market, first with a stage show edition of Beauty in the Beast, and next a production of the Lion King. Today, this flamboyant modern musical can be seen at a number of venues, including the Lyceum Theatre, based in London’s West End. Here are five reasons why you must go to this amazing show. 1. Alluring to All Age ranges Obviously, the Lion King is a success with kids. But the rhythmic music and sophisticated storyline makes it an enjoyable performance for parents at the same time. Young adults will love reminiscing of the first time they saw the film as small children. 2. Award Winner The Lion King has been given a number of recognized awards, including eleven Drama Desk awards and six Tony awards. It was also nominated for another five Tony awards. Any production that is the recipient of this amount of awards is plainly worth visiting. 3. New Songs Everyone adores the songs from the movie rendition of the Lion King. A lot of the favourites from the movie are incorporated that you can sing along with, such as ‘Be Prepared,’ ‘Circle of Life,’ ‘I Just Can’t Wait To Be King,’ and ‘Hakuna Matata,’ are showcased in the West End stageshow. But there are also a number of new songs that were created for the musical edition. These new songs include ‘Endless Night,’ ‘Shadowland,’ and ‘One By One.’ 4. Gorgeous Costumes One might wonder how a musical stageshow of the Lion King is able to depict creatures like giraffes and zebras while using humans as actors. This feat was achieved together with the help of several excellent costume designers. It is exciting to see the costumes, which are simultaneously complicated and straightforward. The wonderful thing about these costumes is that they are able to to convey human characteristics while holding onto essential animalistic elements. This anthropomorphic balance between animal and human helps keep the story believable. 5. Unique Scenery There a count of complicated scenes in the Lion King that might not work without the use of sophisticated scenery and props. One such scene is the stampede, during which wildebeast props on rollers create a highly effective feeling of danger along with the animals racing towards you giving the illusion of depth. Along with great music, lovely costumes and unique scenery, the Lion King musical is one of the most entertaining shows in decades. A must see for adults and children alike!

| December 23rd, 2009 | Why Tarot Cards Still Hold a Fascination for People after Hundreds of Years |
Tarot cards were prized possession of the gypsies and magicians. Linked with witchcraft and considered heretic by medieval churchmen. Tarot has survived every twist and turn of fate. Today, it enjoys an ever increasing popularity. Tarot deck are widely available.Anybody can just walk in a bookstore and buy tarot books and tarot cards. You can go online and find yourself a treasure trove of tarot decks and books. It was not always like this before. You had to do your legwork and actually find someone who was willing to teach you. The earliest tarot cards were believed to have first existed between 13th and 14th century. These were hand-painted ones of which only seventeen cards were known to have remained. Some speculations of how tarot cards came about are: They were considered ars memorativa (a pictorial memory system). In medieval Europe, mystics and philosophers used a visual memory system to record secret philosophies and doctrines to escape persecution. Some said gypsies( a derivation of the word Egyptians) carried the tarot cards with them during their travels, although gypsies did not use tarot for fortune telling right away. They used palmistry and regular deck of playing cards prior to tarot decks. To debunk the myth that tarot decks should be treated in a special way like wrapping the deck in silk cloth and then putting it in a mahogany box, smudging it with incense and purifying it with crystals, might I add, that your first tarot deck should be given as a gift and not let anyone borrow or use it..to that I will say, it is not important. It is not a requisite to reading tarot successfully. If it makes you feel good to do all that I mentioned with your tarot cards then do so. If you want to achieve a proper mindset, go ahead. Don’t let the mechanics of a ritual outweigh the purpose. All the power depends on us. The power is with us, not in the tarot decks. Tarot cards nowadays come in different themes (Dragon, Baseball, Herbal, Mythic etc.) Buy one whose images you like. It’s one way to personally connect with your cards, which is a must for reading tarot effectively. Just one thing, though when you buy themed decks where all images relate to one main concept like a fairy that appears in every card(as in fairy themed deck), will get in the way with interpreting the symbols. Especially if you’re the kind of tarot reader who finds symbols and meanings of symbols crucial to interpreting the tarot cards well. Tarot cards fascinated people for centuries. It is because It has a wide variety of uses; for meditation aid, for predicting future events, for healing, for personal growth. It can be used to analyze problems, help in decision-making and stimulate intuition. It can reveal deeply hidden motives, fears and desires. It can reveal faults for the aim of correcting them.

One of my friends recently raised some doubts about my faith on love compatibility and perfect match. His simple argument was that no two people are made for each other. You need to put in some extra efforts for a long lasting relationship. While it is true that getting a perfect match is not that easy, we cannot underestimate the importance of matching love horoscopes. Astrology is based on 12 zodiac signs which are based on planetary positions. These planetary positions influence our lives on earth. It goes without saying that there could not be only 12 types of people in whole world but there are certain traits are behaviors that are common among people who share their sun sign. Compatibility is not about sharing the same sun sign. You are said to be compatible with your partner if you accept him/her naturally without making any extra efforts. It is about your ability to appreciate him/her naturally. If you are compatible with your partner you will enjoy a long lasting relationship. Matching love horoscope and taking compatibility tests give us an idea about how our love life is going to be. There is no point in taking chance and spoiling your relationship later. Taking a simple compatibility test and matching love horoscope can save a lot of relationship issues that arise later.
