I'm no expert at the series (slashdotters correct me if you will), but wouldn't the make-up be unnecessary, considering that the age Bilbo appeared to be in the LOTR would have essentially been the same age he was in the Hobbit, due to the age-defying effects of the Ring?
The common misconception about Peace Corps is that it's all agriculture or bridge building and stuff. However, the reality is now that more and more developing countries want people skilled in other areas, this is especially true in places like Eastern Europe and Central Asia, in many of the former soviet states.
I'm currently a Peace Corps volunteer in Kazakhstan, and I teach english at a local university. I'm also in the midst of trying to get funding to develop a business center for my university since they're poor as hell and don't have anything like projectors and computers to learn on. In addition, our program here also hosts NGO volunteers, who come and work with local NGOs and help them with projects and developing their body of work. But in general, I was a Political Science and Legal Studies major back in college, but I worked as a writing tutor for about 3 years. As a result, I've ended up as an English Teacher here in Kazakhstan and I'm loving every second of it.
With your degree, you could go teach computer classes in Eastern Europe, or you could work for technology NGOs and help get local communities educated on it. Teaching is also a path, you could teach math or economics (hell, maybe even CS) if your placement has stated a desire need for that sort.
I'd recommend that you email or talk to your local recruiter, and they'll probably give you a better direction and can stay specifically what kind of programs are available. I know for a fact that there are countries that are requesting technology volunteers, however.
I've owned all nintendo units (even the old famicom back from the 80s) except the gamecube, and most regional lockouts were easily defeated.
I still have fond memories of modding all my old American units to work with Japanese games as a kid.
Nintendo - Had to buy an extension to insert the small cartridges into the nintendo unit.
Super NES - Two little plastic strips that I ripped out with pliers
N64 - Got smarter this time at the age of 15..... heated up a paper clip and melted off the more substantial nubs in this unit.
I'm not familiar with the gamecube, so I have no idea if this one needed a more substantial mod. I've never quite understood the reason for these regional lockouts, can someone explain to me what the reasoning behind it is, and how it benefits them? If I buy the game all the same, what difference does it make where I buy it from?
