- ~This Italian hotel has a new Tolkien-esque Hobbit hole
If you travel by the Italian side of South Tyrol, then you might come across a newly-redesigned hotel that features unique architecture that may very well bring Tolkien's Hobbit holes back to your mind.
The Apfelhotel Torgglerhof, located in the town of St. Martin in Passeier, has recently undergone an expansion and revamp, featuring new suites, restaurants and a wellness centre. The wellness centre, the new "green heart" of the hotel, is where the Hobbit holes come in. The entrance blends into a natural green slope, giving the illusion that the wooden door opens right from under a hill. [More]

- ~The Manifest Destiny of Women and Men on Middle-earth
In Which Finrod Makes First Contact With the Secondborn, Men Start Picking Teams, and A Woman Shows How It's Done. It's time for another hit of the Rewind button as we reach Chapter 17, "Of the Coming of Men Into the West." Gondolin is well into its two hundred years of peace, yet before Aredhel the White Lady of the Noldor goes out and begets a son, the race of Men finally makes their way to this corner of Middle-earth. You know, the corner where the Eldar keep all their stuff, the Dwarves mind their own business, and the Dark Enemy of the World broods in confinement. [More]
