Gandalf
Gandalf /ˈɡændɑːlf/ is a fictional character and one of the main protagonists in J. R. R. Tolkien's novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He is a wizard, member of the Istari order, as well as leader of the Fellowship of the Ring and the army of the West. In The Lord of the Rings, he is initially known as Gandalf the Grey, but returns from death as Gandalf the White.
Characteristics
Tolkien discusses Gandalf in his essay on the Istari, which appears in the work Unfinished Tales. He describes Gandalf as the last of the wizards to appear in Middle-earth, one who: "seemed the least, less tall than the others, and in looks more aged, grey-haired and grey-clad, and leaning on a staff". Yet the Elf Círdan who met him on arrival nevertheless considered him "the greatest spirit and the wisest" and gave him the elven Ring of power called Narya, the Ring of Fire, containing a "red" stone for his aid and comfort. Tolkien explicitly links Gandalf to the element Fire later in the same essay:

Duma Key
Duma Key is a novel by American novelist Stephen King published on January 22, 2008 by Scribner. The book reached #1 on the New York Times Best Seller List. It is King's first novel to be set in Florida or Minnesota. The dust jacket features holographic lettering.
Plot
Edgar Freemantle, a contractor in St. Paul, Minnesota, barely survives a horrific on-site accident where his truck is crushed by a crane. Freemantle's right arm is amputated, and severe injuries to his head cause Edgar to have problems with speech, vision, and memory. As a result, Edgar also has violent mood swings and thoughts of suicide. During one of those mood swings, he attacks his wife, who later claims that as a main reason why she divorced him.
On the advice of his psychologist, Dr. Kamen, Edgar takes "a geographical": a year long vacation meant for rest and further recovery. He decides to rent a beach house on Duma Key, a small island off the west coast of Florida, after reading about it in a travel brochure. Edgar's beach house is located on a part of the island called Salmon Point; Edgar nicknames the house "Big Pink," because of its rich pink color. On the advice of Dr. Kamen, Edgar revives his old hobby of sketching after he moves into Big Pink. He settles in with the help of Jack Cantori, a local college student.

Gandalf
by: GandalfGandalf's self-titled album has some attractive baroque-
psychedelia with a spacey air, though its quality depends
very much on the standard of the material. Generally
they're better the more they rely on the slightly weird
and spacey production, as on "Scarlet Ribbons" and their
cover of Tim Hardin's "Hang on to a Dream." On tracks
like "You Upset the Grace of Living" there's a nice
balance of melody and quasi-classical keyboards on the
cusp between pop, progressive rock and psychedelia. "Can
You Travel in the Dark Alone," one of the few originals
(by Peter Sando), is nice, harmonic sunshine pop with a
slightly experimental feel, along the lines of some of
the better things being done by Californian cult figures
like Gary Usher and Curt Boettcher at the time. Other
selections are nothing special, however. — Richie
