Questions about the relevance of terms in the novel "The Hobbit"?
What are the relevance of the terms
Sackville-Bagginses, There and Back Again, King Under the Mountain, butterflies, Roac, Orcrist
in the novel "The Hobbit"? I know the last one is a sword, but what's significant about it? TY.
1. The Sackville-Bagginses are relatives of Bilbo's who covet the Hole at Bag End. When Bilbo returns he finds the S-Bs moving in.
2. "There and Back" is the title Bilbo chooses for his memoir.
3. Butterflies are part of the description of Bilbo's home, Bag-End in Hobbiton.
4. King Under the Mountain. The "mountain" is Lonely Mountain, so the King is the Dwarf ruler of Lonely Mountain. By the time of the story, Smaug had been there so long that the King Under the Mountain was looked upon as a legend.
5. Roac was the leader of the Great Ravens of the Mountain. He told Thorin about the death of Smaug.
6. Orcrist is one of the two great Elf-made swords found in the troll's trove. "Orcrist" means "Goblin Cleaver". The other great sword found was Glamdring, the "Foe Hammer". The Orcs called them "Biter" and "Beater", respectively.

How many hours of light does the Northern Hemisphere receive on the Summer Solstice and the winter solstice?
Need the answer asap. couldnt find it on google. thnks so much
in Rhode Island. Sorry i forgot i had to be more specific. rhode island or new england
The answer would vary depending upon where in the northern hemisphere you happen to be talking about. Without that detail, your question is presently inadequate. You could, for example, be at the north pole, a mile north of the equator, or at some other northern longitude between those two.
Lighting for aquatic plant growth: Mix of stock florescent, incandescent, and natural northern light?
is this enough light for elodea/egeria to thrive or should I buy a full spectrum grow light? northern light is from a far window
The type (color) of light is a factor in plant growth, but the amount of light is far more important. You should get good growth using adequate amounts of florescent, incandescent, natural sunlight, or any combination. A full spectrum grow light or natural light will generally provide better results than florescent or incandescent lights. As far as cost is concerned, natural light is free, but you'll need to be close to a window and it may make the water too warm. Florescent lights usually cost a bit more than incandescent, but use less electricity.

Which musashi sword for a 100 dollars should i get?
Hi, I am willing to buy a hundred dollar sword off this site. Which one should I get? some say they are 1065 high carbon blade and hand forged for the same price as a hand forged carbon blade please help me. Heres the site http://www.swordsofmight.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=55
We keep getting this question. Musashi dose not make swords, ok. They have other people make swords for them to sell. Some times the forge they contract dose a good job. Sometimes they make crap. With the Bamboo they hit a home run. Granted its a $100 katana, so it is not near perfect but it is by far the best you can do for the money.
"Hand forged" and "high carbon" are just marketing terms. What is important is how well it is constructed.
The Musashi Bamboo SS806BK is the only one that I would recommend.
The ito is very tight. That is good. Once it gets loose you basically have to buy a new ito and learn ito-maki. Ito-maki is very, very difficult and requires lots of practice just to do a halfway decent job, really you should just pay someone else to do it, but that cost more than the sword.
It has a real hammon. Nothing else in that price range has a real hammon. Its not traditionally clay covered and all that but the hammon is there and its real. It makes the blade look a lot better than that wire brushed or acid etched crap you usually see on blades in that price range.
They saya is pretty damn good for the price. Not fantastic, but much better than I expected. The fit on all the ones I have seen is a little tight but too tight is better than too loose.
The tsuka actually has a shape.
Another great thing is that they don't have their company name on the habaki like on their other swords. Its on the seppa so if you just switch the seppa around its not there at all.
I don't know what else say. Everything else they make is crap compared to what you can get from other companies for the same price or a little more. If you are going to buy a Musashi then the Bamboo is the only way to go.

Ninjitsu weapons, what ones are illegal in california?
I know Shurikens are illegal, but what about senbon ( throwing spikes),Shogee/shoge, Climbing claws, foot spikes, double edged throwing knives, grappling hooks, and the such?
p.s throwing spikes are 1 basicly big needles, with 1 sharp point at the end ( not a blade)
Goodness.
Look up section 12020(a) of the Penal Code at the link below.
And 653k, while you're at it.
That should answer your question for the most part. But be aware that there are other laws that would require a law student to research for you on the subject. For instance, I don't know what throwing spikes are, but judging by their name, I bet I'd consider them illegal if I found you with them.
A steak knife in your Back Pocket, for the wrong reason, can be illegal. These things, except under the proper circumstances, are just messing with fire.
