The Lord of the Rings concept box, about 1983. The Strong, Rochester, New York. One Prototype to rule them all, One Prototype to backup and save. Long before Peter Jackson brought The Lord of the Rings to life on the big screen, others tried their hands at adapting the J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy classic. With the 1978 animated film directed by Ralph Bakshi just a few years prior, Parker Brothers began advertising a video game adaptation in 1982. Scheduled for a winter 1983 release, The Lord of the Rings: Journey to Rivendell for Atari 2600 home consoles would have allowed players to play as Frodo, picking up familiar characters including Gandalf and Aragorn, on an adventure from the Shire to Rivendell. That is, had it been released. The advertisements from Parker Brothers were long thought to just be graphic mock-ups, with many speculating that no game was ever truly in production. That would change when a version of the game appeared online, seemingly in a nearly complete state.

For Immediate Release: Dateline: Junction City , OR Sep 30th, 2022 by Derek Humphry Faith Sommerfield, aged 82, Founder of the Completed Life Initiative , chose to complete her life on September 27th, 2022 at the Pegasos Swiss Association in Basel, Switzerland. A life-long advocate for a person’s right to self-determination, Faith traveled to Switzerland, where her choice to pursue Voluntary Assisted Dying (“VAD”) is permitted, in order to complete her life. Faith intended that her choice serve as a model and inspiration for the expansion of individual autonomy in end of life decision-making. Though Medical Aid-in-Dying (“MAiD”) is legal in select states, it is only available for those who suffer from a terminal illness, and is not legal in Faith’s home state of Connecticut for anyone. Even if MAiD were legal in Connecticut, Faith would not have been eligible to receive MAiD. Were the assisted dying laws in the United States more inclusive of individuals without a terminal

For Immediate Release: Dateline: San Francisco , CA This week, Florida was pummeled by a massive hurricane. Millions of people were left without power. The damage along the Gulf Coast is too extreme to even be characterized this soon. In some areas, whole towns are left stranded, because bridges and causeways are damaged or washed out. In Fort Myers, entire neighborhoods have been flattened. This is being called the storm of the century — a once-in-a-hundred-years event. Except it’s not. Over the last few years, we’ve seen hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes that are stronger and more dangerous than ever before. Not only that, but they are coming more frequently and hitting places (like Atlantic Canada) that have not been subjected to these types of weather events. The weather is changing — there’s no doubt about that. The question is what do we do about it? Climate change has been a hot topic for a number of years. While there are global efforts under way to try and mitigat

            It's the season when ducks, geese, and many other birds fly south for the winter to escape the cold weather and snow.  From September to December, they are off until spring.             But The Story of Googala Duck tells the story of a duckling that decides to stay behind, since he likes playing in the pond and doesn't want to leave his friends, the otters, beavers, and muskrats.  However, they're getting ready for winter themselves, and soon he has to face the harsh realities of a cold snowy winter. So how will he survive, and will he be able to meet his family again in the spring?  That's what a new series of books – The Story of Googala Duck – is all about.  The books recently were released and a video introducing the series is at https://youtu.be/i8mkX3BLZ04             The five-part series, called The Story of Googala Duck, began as a story that author John M. Pluff told his young children. Later, he decided to turn it into five picture books, an

What Do Dems Mean By "Fair and Humane" Immigration?  Open Borders? By Margaret Sands Orchowski PhD.            In November 2019, I got to ask Joe Biden privately how he thought Democrats should enforce immigration laws. The then former Vice President of President Obama leaned down and whispered in my ear: "It must be fair and humane." I quickly asked him what he meant by "fair and humane?"  But he moved on.    This July 2022, I got to learn personally, just how now President Biden's supposedly "fair and humane" immigration policy works at our Southern border. In an exclusive two-hour interview - in Spanish only - a (beautiful) 26-year old Venezuelan woman eagerly told me how she had walked from Ecuador to Texas in 45 days this summer and then happily took a free bus ride to DC. "The easiest border to cross", she said, "was into the USA." She simply waded across the Rio Grande river with hundreds of others.  On the Tex

A new serial killer historical biography, Without Redemption: Creation and Deeds of Freeway Killer Bill Bonin, His Five Accomplices & How One Who Escaped Justice , highlights the work of the Orange County Register in helping to break the biggest mass murder case in Southern California history. Starting in August 1979, Bill Bonin and Vernon Butts kicked off a ten-month murder spree which claimed 22 teenage boys in following ten-months. By year's end it was fairly obvious a serious serial killer, or killers, was on the loose, but the public was in the dark as police kept a tight lid on the story. OC Register Staff Writer Tim Alger was working the police beat and reporting the stories, which largely ended in back pages, when award winning reporter J.J. Maloney joined the paper. Through a series of developments, Maloney began to push his editor, Marv Olsen, to dig deeper into a string of "homosexually oriented" murders of teenage boys plaguing the area. Olsen gave Ma

Don't be afraid to ask for help! A colleague and I had just left our morning network group and were walking to our cars. As she walked, Ann was digging in her handbag struggling to find the key to her car. “This always happens,." she said, frustration mounting as she continued to dig – ultimately placing the bag on the hood in order to finally succeed. “Really?." I asked. “Unfortunately,." she replied sheepishly. I smiled because a few years ago, I was having the same experience. I had purchased a beautiful brown handbag that was a perfect fit for my Macbook and still had room for everything else I wanted to carry. As a mother, I often taught my children a principle I called “price per wear.." In other words, if you were buying something that you would use frequently, like a handbag, it was perfectly appropriate to pay more for that than you would for a dress you might only wear a few times. With that in mind, I had spent a significant amount of money on tha

How companies can supplement student loan forgiveness. Student loan forgiveness is coming, but it’s not a perfect solution for all employees. Here’s how to support your team as loan forgiveness goes into effect. In August 2022, the Biden administration announced the rollout of their student loan relief program. The program is designed to help up to 43 million borrowers, but it doesn’t support everyone the same way. Companies can help fill in the gaps. Learn more about how the plan affects different borrowers and how companies can supplement the government program. Who qualifies for student loan forgiveness? According to the Department of Education, two types of borrowers are eligible for relief: Pell Grant recipients and individuals earning less than $125,000 annually. Pell Grant recipients are eligible for up to $20,000 in debt cancellation, whereas Borrowers earning less than $125,000 ($250,000 per household) are eligible for up to $10,000 in debt cancellation Employees tha
