On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.
Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens - town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician's assistant at the hospital, a select-woman, and three brave kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing - even murder - to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary is the Dome itself. Because time isn't just short. It's running out.
©2009 Stephen King; (P)2009 Simon & Schuster
"Lenghtly but good, ending was rushed"
I really enjoyed this audiobook except where I feel the last segment (5 parts) was rushed and the ending was a bit disappointing. Not my typical Stephen King ending. The narrator is very good as he has the voice of many many characters. This is another thing you may need to know.. many many characters here. Overall a very interesting listen. Approximately 54 hours I believe. Well worth your money. It took me about 2 weeks to get the whole book through and with me taking every day to see what happens next. I took this week me to the pool and just sit and relaxed.
"Glad I Listened to 11-22-63 First"
The first twenty one hours of this book had lots of moments that felt like listeners torture. It would have been deleted unfinished if I hadn't been so awed by 11-22-63. Fortunately, "Under the Dome" got a lot better in the final twelve hours.
Stephen King in his talk after the book finished (a great feature in both books) indicated that the book originally was larger and was shortened with input from a helper. Thank heavens for that --- because a longer version may have done me in.
More pages isn't always better. This book could have been shortened by about fifteen hours and become a very impressive story.
"The scare is in the human nature under stress."
There have been so many really scary stories from King where the fear comes from the external environment. Great scares! This story studies that the real scare comes from within human nature. Under unreasonable, undeniable external stress, humans can act unnaturally scary. This story studies how a core of rotten characters added to a crew of extremely susceptiple folks; can twist a normal community into a terrifying place to be. And, isn't the most real of tangible of fears those that come from inside?
- Suzanne
So, I Read This Book Today . . .
"Couldn't like it"
I hate to be derivative, but I agree with Pam Gearhart's review. There just is no "there" there. King has rarely disappointed me in the past and I have many of his books. Sadly, I just can't like this one.
King is known for his characters who feel like they are really here, that they are real people. I identify with so many of his characters. Roland Dechain, Pennywise the Clown (shudder!!!!), Delbert Grady in "The Shining". And I remember all the characters in "The Stand." However, with "Under the Dome" there just isn't that connection as there is with so many of the other King characters.
The book is terrifically long, over 1,000 pages. Normally, like with the Uncut Edition of The Stand (1472 pages), I am so deeply into the story that I am still disappointed when the book is over. In this case, I got about 200 pages into the book (with difficulty) and just fizzled out. I tried picking up again several times, thinking I was just in the wrong mood for the book, but I never could get through it. I just didn't care what happened to any of the characters. And if I can't care about the characters, I won't waste my time reading the book. Life is too short, there are too many books out there, to waste time on something I can't get into.
I know some people really love the book, which is understandable. But, thankfully, not everyone likes the same thing, and this is just my own opinion. Take it or leave it, I still love many of King's works.
Raul Esparza, however, does a great job as the narrator.
"No Stand"
"Under the Dome" is being compared to King's earlier and greater work, "The Stand." "Dome" is entertaining, and I give it 3 points mostly for King-isms such as "Nothing runs like a Deere." (Of course the narrator deserves some credit for the delivery too.)
It's no "Stand," however. The big difference is that King devotes the entire work of the "Dome" to the subject covered in about 1/6 of "The Stand" - that is, the destruction of the world he's writing about. "The Stand" deals with that and then moves swiftly on to the part which I personally found more interesting; would it be possible to reconstruct society after the loss of so many people? That King had to use the hand-wavium of supernatural events to pull the protagonists together into one location shows that Stewart's "Earth Abides" describes the likelier outcome of such a catastrophe, but in "The Stand," King manages to pull off a fairly exciting work on the subject. In "Dome," however, King becomes one of those kids burning ants under a magnifying lens that he talks about in the book; he creates characters - some really evil bad guys and some weak and ineffectual good guys - then he spends the rest of the book watching them jump through hoops while everything goes crashing down around them.
If you thought the best part of "The Stand" was part 1, you'll enjoy "Under the Dome." If you're a hard core SF buff and would like a more character-driven and more scientifically interesting look at this notion of what would happen if you were cut off from the rest of the universe, I highly recommend Robert Charles Wilson's "Spin" instead.
Fabulous! Intense! Mind Blowing! I am not a regular Stephen King reader, but I am going to start now. The book was EVERYTHING I hoped it would be. I DID NOT WANT IT TO END!
Since discovering audible, my life is richer. I live in a small rural KS community, with higher than average IQ which can be a bad combo at times. Audible allows me to be myself.
"Great King Book"
I do not like King's books but when I see the ratings sometimes I try it out. Yes, I have been disappointed....lord knows, but not this time. Ok it gets a bit far fetched, ok the whole thing is but it gets far fetched within being far fetched....yes that's right. I like it, I really liked it and would recommend it. It's a fun story, rated R though
I think this was the best King book since the last Dark Tower. The idea for this book is so interesting! I love the story so much that I've listened to it twice!!
"Solid Stephen King Effort"
King puts normal people into extraordinary circumstances and we all get to find out what happens. As usual, he develops his characters well, and you do not come across a character 20 hours into the story wondering who it is. The story immediately draws you in, and I know I never lost the thread through the entire 35 hours. To me, this is probably the most important consideration when evaluating a story. This was a great 35 hours.
This is not a feel-good story. King's stories rarely are. He does not tell the story you want to hear, he tells the story the way it happens. I usually leave a Stephen King story wondering why this character or that one had to die, or why a story line went one way or another, because something bad happens to someone for no perceptible reason. King gets you to love a character, or at least like one, then do something bad to it. This story is no exception, but I have come to understand that this is almost necessary to a good story. Good things have no perspective when there is nothing bad to compare them to.
This is no secret, but Stephen King is a diehard left-winger. His lack of regard for anyone to the right side of the political spectrum comes though loudly in many of this story's villains, but does not detract from the story the way it does in some of John Grisham's books.
In the end, this was an excellent listen. The narration was commendable. I do not think the story was a good as Duma Key, but it was unquestionably worth the credit, and, more importantly, the 35 hours of my life listening to it. The measure of what makes an audio book truly great (to me) is whether I plan on listening to it again, so I cannot call this one great. I will not be listening to this story again, but there are few stories that meet this standard.
"Very Engaging"
One of the most engaging works of contemporary fiction I've read/listened to. I cared deeply about many of the characters and wanted to strangle some of the others.
The narrator was outstanding as well.

Perhaps this XKCD illustrates the issue: http://xkcd.com/1015/
Bad kerning is one of the things that happens if you cache invidual letters - you're essentially making the truetype font be a fixed-width bitmap font, degrading its quality a lot.
Perhaps this XKCD illustrates the issue: http://xkcd.com/1015/
Bad kerning is one of the things that happens if you cache invidual letters - you're essentially making the truetype font be a fixed-width bitmap font, degrading its quality a lot.
That's the entire point, you can't get proper text rendering by caching the glyphs as images and tweaking an algorithm. You can fake it and maybe get readable text most of the time, but it's not a good solution by any means, and would only work for western languages.
- Wayland is a protocol, Wayland does not composite with any specific method.
- Weston can also composite without GL, using pixman, in pure software.
- There is no indirect rendering. You cannot send rendering commands to the server, because there simply is no protocol to do that.
- Overlays have no implications to indirect rendering, double-buffered rendering, or two-pass rendering.
I think you meant compositing instead of indirect rendering.
Two-pass rendering means that you render your geometry twice, for example first RGB channels, and then alpha channel. Or like some 3D apps, first depth only, and second actual color rendering. This can apply equally well to both clients and servers.
Indirect rendering means that a client sends rendering commands to the server, just like silix explained. Saying only "indirect rendering" does not define whether the rendering is on-screen or off-screen, it can be either one. It can also be single-pass or multi-pass. And it can be single- or double-buffered.
One concept you have not yet abused is double-buffered rendering. In double- (or triple-) buffered, a previous frame is being used while a new frame is being produced. When the new frame is complete, it can be taken into use by switching the buffers (flipping), or by copying. The purpose of double-buffering is to avoid using an incomplete frame. This too can apply equally well to both clients and servers, and it actually must be used in both to guarantee perfect output at all times.
Compositing means forming a big picture from several images. You can do it multi-pass or not. You can do it indirect or direct rendered, if you are running under another graphics server, provided the graphics server supports them. Compositing could be single-buffered, so the user will see incomplete composites flashing around, or it can double-buffered so the user will always see a good picture.
All these four concepts are completely orthogonal, and furthermore none of these mandates desktop effects.
Rendering is process of generating image. Compositing is also rendering. Weston also does rendering using compositing.
2 pass rendering can mean many things. Indirect rendering can mean many things.
If image output from applications is composited by compositor, applications do indirect rendering.
So it can basically switch dynamically between sending a buffer to the compositor, and displaying that buffer directory onto the screen (if it's completely visible/uncovered by other windows).
Beyond that, any typesetting system will obviously need to take account of a font's kerning tables to get correct inter-letter spacing. Some mechanism would need to be implemented for that, but I'm assuming that it is since it's so fundamental.

Derham Giuliani
Derham Giuliani, keen naturalist, entomologist, and animal behaviorist died at his home in Big Pine on Sept. 7, 2010 at the age of 79. He died of cancer that had traveled to his bones, but was hiking, observing nature, and visiting friends up to three weeks before his death. Derham was cared for, up to his death, by a dear, old friend and neighbor with the help of the Hospice of the Owens Valley. Most of Derham's friends did not know he was ill and all deeply mourn the passing of a truly unique and gentle-spirited person. Many people had been looking forward to autumn forays up and down desert canyons and on rugged mountain roads accompanied by Derham.
Derham was born in San Francisco in 1931 and his earliest memory was watching a trail of ants. This fascination with insects only grew and by the age of 12, he was already a serious and avid "bug' scholar, visiting all the windy, foggy hills and sandy dunes of the Bay Area to find and to document the wild, rare, and interesting life forms there. He kept journals of his natural history observations from that age to his death. He frequently was heard to say, "I'll have to make a note of that." (Many of his notes and spreadsheets are housed at the White Mountain Research Station.) As a young man, he participated in Academy of Science courses and studies and continued to drop off data there once a year for the rest of his life. Derham studied Mathematics at both the College of Marin and UC Berkeley and became entranced by the patterns found in it, but the studies kept him indoors too much. He decided to follow his deepest interests and live a simple life in terms of material goods and family connections. He moved to Marin County, rich in natural wonders, and was a postman for some years. That way, he could walk outside all day, enjoy the fresh air, and observe some insects along the way.
During this time Derham took over the care of several ringtail cats, wild desert animals, and redesigned his little house with runways and hiding places the nocturnal creatures would enjoy. He found observing and studying these animals' behaviors so entertaining that he got rid of his television and watched them all night! The ringtail cats grew accustomed to his silent and non-invasive presence so he grew to know a great deal about their natural behaviors and unique personalities. He often remarked that was when he first observed that the males and females within a species were so different in their behaviors that they seemed like all together two different species. In later years, Bishop mountaineer, Smoke Blanchard, once wrote, " 'The Ringtailed Cat Man" was a guest lecturer at the Palisade School of Mountaineering. A shy, gangling, stringy, black stubble-bearded, frizzy-headed speaker who, who scuffed his toes in the dirt, stared at the ground, and mumbled inaudibly about high-altitude squirrel habits, Derham Giuliani is most comfortable with a high-camp audience held in the glow of his nocturnally blood-shot eyes."
Derham was dedicated to the study of the patterns of the world; from chess (played at a Master level) to the shifting ripples of sand dunes, from predictions of heavy to light pine nut years to the fluctuating chipmunk populations. He found himself drawn like a magnet to the Eastern Sierra. His deep and abiding love of living things caused him to first visit, then relocate to Big Pine in the early 1960s. He lived there for well over 40 years, welcomed on the land of Enid Larsen, his best friend, a retired schoolteacher, and amateur "chipmunkologist". Together, they systematically studied the formations of clouds and chipmunk and squirrel populations. They watched caterpillars and roamed throughout the Eureka Valley. Enid was very impressed by Derham's commitment to nature and, at her death, stipulated that he could stay in his little house on her land for the rest of his life, studying and living on small research grants in which he was interested. He spent nearly 40 years, two days a week, observing and keeping a census of chipmunks in the White Mountains on the Bristlecone Pine Road. A retired zoologist from UC who was considered the foremost expert in alpine chipmunks once remarked in an interview, " He [Derham Giuliani] knows more about these chipmunks and squirrels than anybody else in the world. Period. He is a remarkable individual."
Giuliani possessed a deep interest in all things wild and unknown. He found the mystery of living things exciting and never tired of counting the rows of pinecone scales and remarking upon both the patterns and the wondrous anomalies found in nature. [People] think I must be writing a paper or I have a degree," he said. "But it's just sheer curiosity. Every year, I see something that will catch my interest—and I try to learn a little bit more about it." Clambering up every watered canyon in the Eastern Sierra, he performed the fieldwork for a UC native salamander study for several years. He often chuckled about the fact that, in this study, he had walked the equivalent elevation gain of sea level to Mt. Everest five times.
Derham did not limit himself to the creatures already mentioned, but accomplished much field study about butterflies, moths, beetles, and scorpions from coast, to deserts, to alpine zones. His expert contributions are noted in several major natural history books, including The Natural History of the Inyo-White Range and The Butterflies of California. Giuliani had at least three species named after him due his discovery of overlooked and under-rated insects: a beetle, Microedus giulianii, a winter moth, Tescalsia giulianiata, and a spider, Xenochelifer derhami .
Giuliani was, according to a good friend," … biocentric to the core. Organized religion held no value for him. But he was not an atheist: he was an agnostic, a pantheist. He looked forward to following life's natural trajectory into the beyond, if there was a beyond. If there wasn't, he was fine with that as well."
Above all, Giuliani was compassionate, intelligent, gentle, open-minded, and always curious. He used to claim that his least favorite species was the human due to his destructive effect upon nature. Ironically, he leaves behind a large number of friends and colleagues who considered him the kindest person they ever met, a sensitive and unassuming man who stood tall and inspiring among the six and a half billion other humans populating this Earth.
"Thanks to Derham Giuliani, we know a lot more about animals, patterns, wonderment, joy, and awe," said another friend. "Whether you knew Derham or not, I hope in your mind's eye you may 'catch sight of the loose-jointed cat man flapping by in his untied tennies and butterfly net' and remember his reverence for the Earth."
Anyone who would like to celebrate Derham's life work may donate to the Friends of the Inyo at 699 West Line St., Suite A, Bishop, CA 93514.

TAMPA, FLA. — Little things can make a big difference for plastics firms in the hiring process, says industry veteran Russ Riendeau.
Speaking at the 2013 Plastics News Executive Forum in Tampa, Riendeau urged plastics business owners to overhaul their websites by including videos, pictures and images.
"Show faces of workers — not tools," said Riendeau, senior partner with recruiting firm East Wing Group in Barrington, Ill. "And stop using that picture of your plant on a sunny day with the flag flying and no cars in the parking lot. Young people don't care what the plant looks like. They want to know what's going on inside."
Something as simple as updating the building's lobby can have an impact on potential employees, he said. Providing interview training for hiring managers is another good move.
And don't be afraid to seek out new talent. "The default is to hire people with experience," he said. "That's just putting old wine in a new bottle."

BECAUSE they didn't do what AMD is doing, their hardware is being reverse engineered, and they are at greater risk of loss of IP. AMD is involved in open source radeon development, at least PARTLY, to ensure that the SAFEST information is released to the public. They're controlling the process to protect IP that they don't want out. NVidia's great wall of China is causing their IP to get raped.

Flaky Roasted Bacon Siew Baos
She has recovered from fever but still has the cough. Don't want her to take any more medicine cause it makes her restless. Guess drinking more fluids will help.
Okay, back to my kitchen at last. Longing to bake this last 2 weeks and finally I got the time. Got this from my collection of books but has changed the fillings inside.
What do you think?? Yummy?
Here's the ingredients for you...
Ingredients for Water Dough:
200g Plain flour
60g Shortening
2 tbsps Castor sugar
125ml Water
Ingredients for Oil Dough:
160g Plain flour
160g Shortening
Ingredients for filling:
300g Roasted bacon (it can be replaced with roasted chicken)
1 onion, chopped
alittle shallots, chopped
alittle green peas
1 tbsp Oyster sauce
1 tbps Soy sauce
1 tbsp Thick soy sauce
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp Cornflour
1/4 tsp pepper (optional)
** Alittle white sesame for decoration before bake.
~ Stir fry shallots and onion till frgnant then add in other ingredients and seasoning and stir well. Refrigerate for later use.
~ Knead water and oil dough separately. Roll out water dough with center thicker than the edges.
~ Wrap in oil dough. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
~ Roll dough out with rolling pin and fold once. Turn dough around and roll it out one more time. Fold into 3 layers and let it rest for another 10 minutes.
~ Divide the dough into 18 portions. Flatten each portion and wrap in the filling.
~ Place on tray lined with parchment paper and brush egg wash on top.
~ Bake at 200'C for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
The result is superb! The flaky pastry with the juicy fillings...yummy! I did it...;p (Although the wrapping was out of shape here..haha!)
Its definetely a keeper for me. This time I'll have a cup of tea with it instead of coffee..haha!
Got to go...happy baking everyone & have a nice weekend..:)

Answering the Call: Responding to Suicide and Depression in Our Communities
"Crisis Line. May I help you?"
This is how I answer the phone at a local crisis center here in Mississippi, during every four hour shift I spend volunteering there. Each time I pick up the line, I take a deep breath and hope that the person on the other side of the phone is okay. However, having been trained as a crisis line volunteer, I know that I am ready to respond if the person who was brave enough to call is not okay. I am ready to talk to them if they want to talk to me about feeling suicidal.
"Suicide rates among middle-aged Americans have risen sharply in the past decade."
That is the opening line of this May 2013 New York Times article. When I read those words, I immediately thought about people I know who have been affected by suicide. Too many. As the ISJL's Director of the Department of Community Engagement, I wondered if and how congregations, as community based organizations, might respond to this rather serious piece of information.
Consider some more noteworthy news points about people taking their own life:
From 1999 to 2010, the suicide rate among Americans ages 35 to 64 rose by nearly 30 percent.
In 2010 there were 33,687 deaths from motor vehicle crashes, and 38,364 suicides; while car safety has improved, it's still shocking that suicides outnumbered vehicular death.
The increase coincides with a decrease in financial standing and the widespread availability of opioid drugs, which can be particularly deadly in large doses
Most suicides are committed using firearms (not most suicide attempts, but most suicides)
People who are left behind face social stigma.
While I am not suggesting that we panic, I am suggesting that we pay attention to what this means for our congregations and communities. Suicide has become more prevalent. In the same way that we are trained to prevent drunk drivers from operating a vehicle, we can be trained to intervene when someone is at risk of committing suicide.
September 10th of each year is World Suicide Prevention Day. In honor of that day, congregations can host speakers who can talk about issues related to mental health or say a prayer for the healing of all who are feeling hopeless and depressed. Here are some other ways to take action:
- Invite people from service agencies to speak at services about the resources that are available through their non-profit
- Learn about what Judaism has to say about suicide and mental illness; have a study session or education program dedicated to the topic
- Get involved in local crisis hotlines. Congregations can host trainings for crisis hotline volunteers or give an annual financial gift to the local hotline
- Host support groups for people who are dealing with depression
- Host support groups for people who have been affected by suicide (family and friends of someone who committed suicide)
- Foster community and relationship building: with the understanding that suicide is now more prevalent among men between the ages of 35-64, there may be some benefit to having a Brotherhood Committee that mirrors the Sisterhood Committee's level of activity
- Educate congregants about firearm safety and the dangers of opioid drugs
- Offer programs and initiatives that can help ease the financial strain on families
For information about suicide prevention, contact one of the many wonderful advocacy organizations out there, such as SAVE.
Do you have other ideas of how congregations can play a role in curbing the rise of suicide rates? Please share them in the comments below!

Lettuce Keep You
By Claudia--kitchen witch
from Leavenworth, WA.
This is my second one and the first one is still in use. Now I can buy more than 1 head of lettuce at a time!
Can't get lid to seal
By Clark
from Omaha, NE
I had high hopes for this lettuce keeper. The construction seemed a little flimsy, but not horribly so. The biggest problem is that no matter what you do, the lid doesn't seal properly. I've read the instructions and reviews and still no luck. I've had others try and they don't fare any better. The result is basically a plastic bowl to hold your lettuce, and it doesn't keep it fresh at all. Maybe I got a defective one, but in the meantime, it was a waste of money and I'll continue my search.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Foreign substance in plastic
By Alabama Husband
from Prattville, AL
Bought this for my wife and at first look was very happy with the product. On looking closer we noticed something that looks like dried leaf or tobacco leaf in the plastic itself. It is not on the plastic, but actually in the plastic. Neeedless to say, we will not use that one, but we are planning to buy another on the chance this one was a fluke.

New #Defiance TV Tie In Missions are now live!— Lance James (@Myll_Erik) May 13, 2013
Trion Worlds has released patch 1.020 for Defiance, unofficially known as the TV tie-in patch. The patch, so named for its inclusion of crossover events from the popular SyFy program of the same name.
Defiance Producer Nathan Richardsson had the following to say earlier this week:
As proof of us striving towards being better we have another major update coming, known as the TV Tie-in or Patch 1.020, and it's coming out this month. It has further bug fixes, improvements, as well as new TV Tie-ins – one of which will utilize a new open world game mode called Sieges. Details are obviously slim, but it's a crossover event so that should give you an indication of what this game mode entails in future DLCs.

As We Dream by the Fire
1. As We Dream by the Fire
The Great Smials - Late-evening, Yule Day, Foreyule, S.R. 1340
"There you go, lads, and Merry Yule!" Uncle Gar happily pronounced as he refilled his nephews' tankards with ale.
"Merry Yule, Uncle," Bilbo, Drogo and Rum responded in kind, clinking their tankards and trying not to spill the contents on the hearth. They were mostly successful. Bilbo took a deep swig of ale and willed himself to feel the cheer that belonged to the season. He was sitting in his uncle Isengar Took's room at the Great Smials with his young cousins Ferumbras Took and Drogo Baggins, trying to avoid the notice of Rum's mother, Laila, who was none too pleased with them after a certain practical joke had unfolded in the main dining hall earlier today. Not that Laila is pleased with anyone, Bilbo sourly considered.
The woman was in a perpetual bad mood and her imperious character had become almost unbearable since Aunt Willow had died three years before. With Uncle Summer's death this last harvest, Laila had been left the de facto ruler of the Great Smials. She had never cared much about her Took in-laws, nor they for her, and she most definitely did not care for the four youngest children of the Old Took, Belladonna, Donnamira, Mirabella and Isengar. She was jealous of the sisters' beauty and prominence, and hated Isengar's adventurous – Laila called it "scandalous" – past. Bilbo's mother Bella's brush with adventure as a healer also earned her Laila's ire. Thus, there was nothing Laila hated more than Gar and Bilbo lavishing attention on Rum, filling the boy's head with nonsense and queer ideas. Drogo was guilty by association, though in truth the tween rarely did anything mischievous unless drawn into it by Bilbo.
"Another story, Uncle Gar, please?" Rum begged. There was nowhere he would rather be than in the company of the most disreputable of his relatives, and not just because it would anger his mother. Life was simply more – interesting – when they were around. Gar was full of tales from his long-ago journey with the wizard, Gandalf, and Bilbo always had some bit of mischief to suggest, though he was no longer the ringleader he had been in his youth. Drogo was a game participant in any scrapes Bilbo suggested, though he would usually tame his elder cousin's more outrageous suggestions. The two elder Hobbits considered it their solemn duty to keep the Thain's heir amused and adventurous, and not just because it would anger their detested in-law, Laila. The lad was clever, he listened to their stories with delight, not trepidation, and he would someday be responsible for the Shire. Though they could not have explained exactly why, they had agreed that it was better for all if someone with a bit of imagination was in charge, just like the Old Took himself.
Isengar laughed at Rum's wheedling. "Well," he said, twirling the end of his long braid of hair, "I've told you everything I know, so I don't think there's much left to say…"
"Then tell a story again!" Rum demanded. "I can listen to all of your stories over and over! You must tell more!"
Gar, laughing, held out a placating hand. "Very well, very well, nephew! No need to shout. Let's see," he pondered, "what to tell? I know! The Yule I spent thirty-five years ago in the greatest smial I ever have seen, one built be men, not Hobbits."
Rum and Drogo cheered, for they liked this story. Bilbo liked it, too, but had heard it so many times it did not fill him with the kind of wonder it once did. He also secretly thought most of it was nonsense, though delightful.
"I had been traveling across the wide lands far south of here, a place called Gondor where once the Kings ruled, when the Yule season came upon me," Gar began.
"And a prince had invited you to stay!" Drogo interjected.
Gar shook a warning finger at the tween. "Who is telling this tale, lad?"
"You are, uncle," was Drogo's meek reply. Even if Isengar wasn't precisely his kinsman, let alone his uncle, Drogo always called Bilbo's Took kin exactly what Bilbo called them. Indeed, most of them had long ago forgotten that Drogo wasn't in fact Bilbo's brother, but his cousin, and only a second cousin at that.
"Then shush while I tell it!" Gar bristled, earning a ducked head and mumbled apologies.
"Talk faster and we won't need to interrupt," Bilbo cheekily said to Gar, getting the warning finger pointing at him. Rum and Drogo snickered, then tried to look contrite when Gar glared at them. With a harrumph, Gar returned to the story.
"I was told by two princes to pay my respects to the Prince of Dol Amroth. His son, Prince Angelimir bade me to call upon his sire and gave me a letter of introduction. Another prince, Lord Turgon of Minas Tirith, was sitting with his friend, Angelimir, and also urged me to go west to visit his friend's kin. And so I found myself in the mild winter of the south walking up to a huge gate in the midst of all of these very tall Big People…"
Bilbo could have recited the tale word for word. Talked to two princes, did you uncle? One was not enough? He chuckle to himself. Bilbo did not doubt that Gar had spoken to two gentlemen in the south but calling them princes was a bit much. He spoke to the son of the Thain and the son of the Master, good men, no doubt. But not princes. Bilbo shifted a little in his seat on the hearth across from Rum, irritated that he had managed to think of the Master while sitting here in the Great Smials. He had come here so he would not think of Buckland at all.
"To my great surprise, the palace of the Prince was a magnificent smial, delved into the side of a great cliff that stood above the town…"
"Like the Great Smials, uncle?" Rum added, knowing when he was expected to interject so that Gar could spin his wild tale.
"Greater!" Gar said with relish. "Put together the Great Smials, Brandy Hall, and all of the smials in Michel Delving, and you would not yet have a smial so grand as the keep of Dol Amroth!"
Not that Bilbo thought Brandy Hall to be very grand, not anymore. In fact, it was actually a rather wretched place, now. Even though Uncle Gorbadoc and Aunt Mira had begged him and Drogo to come to Buckland for Yule, for they were both terribly missed, Bilbo had brought his young cousin with him to the Great Smials. A cold shoulder from Laila was preferable to… Bilbo tried to concentrate on Gar's story and stop thinking about Buckland.
"There were three floors above the ground and another three floors below, and the main floor, so seven in all. I asked the Prince, Aglahad, how it had been made, and he said that they had dug it out of the heart of the hill and then lined it all with stone."
If only he could have a heart of stone, like this smial of the Big People far away in the south. It wouldn't hurt so much and he could be, if not precisely happy for Rory and Gilda, then at least indifferent. No, happy. I should be happy for them. It isn't natural not to be happy when your best friends have a baby. And when have you ever been natural, Baggins? Bilbo drank some ale to cover his frown.
"Even the walls, Uncle Gar?" piped up Drogo. "Wouldn't that be cold?"
Well, yes it would, Drogo, if they were left bare, like some Dwarven mine, but these had thick tapestries hung upon them. And then the lamps! Oh, my boys, they were of brass, but gleamed like gold…"
The tweens glanced over at Bilbo for confirmation of this detail, and he nodded vigorously, just as though he had been at Gar's side that day long ago, instead of being a child at Bag End, helping mind his little sisters, Danna and Berra. Secretly, Bilbo thought that this prince of Dol Amroth had a house much like one he knew of in Michel Delving. The house had a first floor like a smial, excavated from the side of a hill, then a part timber, part dirt upper floor reaching back into that same hill, all with a deep cellar beneath. There were a few houses here and there about the Shire, and supposedly even more than that in Bree, that had an upstairs on top of a regular smial. No doubt this southern place was more like a great hall than a single house, and probably did have beautiful things in it, maybe even some lamps of brass.
"At the Yule feast, there were more kinds of fish than I could name, more than I had ever seen," Gar declared, waving his mug about and sloshing ale onto the hearth, "and that I could believe, for these were fisher folk and went out upon the Sea whether the sky be fair or storms threaten."
"Is the Sea truly endless, Uncle Gar?" Rum asked, eyes big.
"Yes, lad, it goes on and on, and never does anyone reach its end," the old Hobbit solemnly replied.
Nonsense. Everything has an end. It must. Everything must come to an end at some point. Bilbo wondered if that applied to a broken heart as well as to the Sea. He and Gilda were not supposed to come to an end, yet they did. For eighteen years he had waited and waited, first for her to be old enough, then for her to accept his suit, and she had brought it to an end. Even after she had wed Rory, Bilbo had not really believed it was true. A baby, though, that was the end to all of his dreams. She was well and truly and forever someone else's wife.
"The ale was passable enough, I suppose," Gar mused, "but nothing compared to what we have here in the Shire. I told the prince this and he said that, should he ever venture so far as the Shire, he would come to call at the Great Smials and enjoy good ale and good pipeweed. "
"Their pipeweed was bad?" prompted Drogo with a grin, full well knowing the answer.
"Bad? No, not bad. Not at all bad as they had none at all!" Gar shook his head sadly. "They know nothing of pipeweed down south, my boys. Imagine a place so far away here is no pipeweed. Imagine that!" The youngsters laughed in disbelief.
Bilbo always knew this is where the story became nonsense because there was no such place. Oh, perhaps places you couldn't grow pipeweed, but nowhere you couldn't find it. Every Dwarf had a pouch of it, and every Big Person, too. Even the old wizard, Gandalf, had pipeweed and he went everywhere, though the Old Took had a favorite story about how the wizard didn't know good pipeweed from bad until taught. Imagine a place where there is no pipeweed. Would that be far enough to get away from an end?
Gar continued spinning his tale though the evening, making it more and more outrageous with how tall the Big People were, how many there were, how much gold and gems were lying about to be admired, how many ships filled the harbor, how many soldiers marched in the yard before the keep, how big and wide and rich everything was in all directions as far as the eye could see. It was all nonsense, but the teens drank in every word as Bilbo himself once had, and they thought it was true, Well, except for the pipeweed, but even a Noakes wasn't foolish enough to swallow that tadpole.
And when did you stop believing it, Baggins? Bilbo frowned to himself. He had once been just as gullible as Rum and Drogo. When did that happen? When Father died. When I had to stop being a careless tween and needed to be what Father was, head of the Baggins clan. Oh, he still could indulge in a bit of mischief if need be, but mostly Bilbo had settled into being a respectable Hobbit, one that didn't tramp about too much, didn't do anything to startle the neighbors and certainly didn't go off to Buckland where folks were a bit queer and where he felt a desire to do things that weren't the slightest bit respectable. Like kiss another man's wife. Bilbo let himself indulge in that bit of fancy, dreaming of a very different Yule in Bag End where he had thought the coming year would make him a completely respectable Hobbit who would never believe in places without pipeweed.
The boys were yawning and rubbing their eyes by the time Gar ended his tale. In the halls, they could hear bells ringing, announcing the new year. Bilbo drained the last bit from his tankard and motioned for the youngsters to stand. "Up you get, lads! Time to go to bed and get some sleep before our own Yule feast. A new year is upon us, and who knows what adventures it will bring! "

Gallery: Rustic and Beautiful Backyard Micro-House is Built from Recycl...
After years of building up her garden, Lea was satisfied with her efforts, but it was a small corner within her yard in which she had tried to grow veggies that left her feeling discontent. Given the excess shade in that particular spot, her tomatoes and cucumbers fared poorly. To make better use of the space, Lea, a certified sustainable building advisor, decided to construct a detached home on the 11′ x 14′ patch of ground. Her goal was to create a space that would not only be useful, but beautiful, artful and above all sustainable.
Built from recycled barnboard with copper roofing, the home is inspired by everything from vines, to magazine editorials, to, most notably, Bernard Maybeck's Mistake House from 1931. Inside, a wood stove keeps the home warm and cozy, and the small space even boasts a second floor loft accessible via a set of swirling stairs. The Backyard House is a year round hangout for family and friends, and gives way to extra space with ease.

I am right there with you. I hate that I can only buy three, though. Have to make them last now.
I was excited to see Jabba the Fluff and Darth Meow, but was then quickly saddened to not see Boba Fetch to complete the ensemble
So happy to see "After All This Tim" on AA...it was first released right after I discovered that Anvil tees were never going to fit me, so I passed it up. And I just spent the weekend rereading Harry Potter....

Why is everything on Anvil T.T There are so many shirts I want to buy, but I can't justify spending $15 and then not being able to wear them. Wish No One Left to Play With was on a long sleeve or hoodie *hint hint*
Oh, and I'm pretty sure that's a Bolrag from Moria
Oh My Gookie! Oh My Gookie! Oh My Gookie!
I am so excited that you have Ding Dong in this batch. it is my absolutely favorite shirt, not only woot, but of ALL THE SHIRTS and I had an unfortunate laundry incident. Being cursed with shortness, and forced to wrassle with the laundry beast, I accidentally dipped my boob in the bleach dispenser while unloading the wash the last time I wore my beloved ding dongs, and the stupid triangular-shaped bleach mark covering almost my entire left breast completely ruined the joke. HOORAY REPLACEMENT SHIRT TIME!
I want "It Came Out of Nowhere" in Hoodie form!

Hi, I'm actually the artist that made Xenophile. Nightmeow On Elm Street (in this sale) is also mine. Unfortunately, Xenophile won't be coming back. Woot pulled it out of the Reckoning early due to a legal issue, which is all they'd share with me. It was really disappointing for me cos it was one of my best sellers and one of my favorite designs. Anyway, you're not alone... I get requests for it all the time. Who knows, maybe someday Woot will change their minds. We can always hope.
I bought a shirt. Hope you're happy, woot.
I am so, so happy for the reprint of no one left to play with! I've bought a number of woot! shirts, all of which I've been happy with, but that was always my favorite. When woot! started doing reprints, I would cross my fingers every week and hope for this shirt to re-appear... so glad it has!

No kids sizes on the long-sleeve t-shirts?
I'm guessing a small would be too big for a child that normally wears size 8?
Anyone have experience getting adult size small on here for kids?

Too small of a market, both for Woot and AA. As it is, the 2007 is sold as unisex.

Yes, yes! I too wish they had put that on a long sleeve!
What's with the unisex sizing on the long sleeved T's? I typically wear a Women's Small in the current T-shirt sizes and am concerned about how the long sleeved one will fit...
Just pull a Sheldon and wear a long sleeve shirt under it, or wear it with a zipper hoodie or something. It's a cool design worth owning!
This collection is very much missing Moloko Plus... one of my favorites.
I'm not a hoodie person and have too many Woot! tees that I already don't wear, would've LOVED to have seen some of these on totes. Gozerhead is awesome, as is Jabba, my fat cat's nickname...

If you're a WS with the Anvil, then a small long sleeve ought to be just fine; it'll just be longer, cut straight on the sides, and shrink less.
x86Daddy wrote:This collection is very much missing Moloko Plus... one of my favorites.
What size are you looking for? I think I have an extra one.
doommetaldarryl wrote:It's not the Balrog?
Hm...maybe it is the Balrog. I saw the wings and assumed it was supposed to be a dragon. The upcoming Hobbit movie has been on my mind. A balrog would make sense though.
I used to order WXL in AA (because they are sized to fit toddlers), but they hold up well and don't shrink or fade. From the size chart, it looks as if the sizing for anvil blanks is closer to normal, but I wonder about shrinkage. Any insight?
I do not understand this "Anvil". Help 'splain?
irishjenn wrote:... but I wonder about shrinkage. Any insight?
In the dryer, the Anvils shrink a lot; minus 3" in length on a size ML. Even line dried, they shrink.

Woot switched suppliers back in February. Refer to this thread for more details.

But only if you know what a plethora is! I would not like to think that you would buy a plethora, and then find out that you have no idea what it means to buy a plethora.
Oh, ok. This one got me because I was thinking it was from 21 Jump Street. Been a few years since I saw the Three Amigos.

This made me laugh out loud
Two things:
1) I know that most of your shoppers probably live where there are four actual seasons; but for those of us that don't, can we start seeing more lightweight hoodies? Those are perfect for where I live and the ice locker that I call a school.
2) I know I've said this one before, but I think it needs reiterating: Can we get an option where we can pay a few extra dollars (which would vary depending on choice) to put the shirt of the day on things like hoodies or long sleeve t-shirts? There have been several times where I wanted a shirt as a long sleeve or a lightweight hoodie but the only option is t-shirt.

Kids can get away with clip-on neckties, but if you're older than 12, you should know how to tie a necktie. Although there are many ways you can tie a tie, here are four traditional knots. All guys should master at least one knot, and it can't hurt to know at least one other method as well.No matter which knot you choose, the tip of your necktie should come to your waistband or belt buckle. If you have a tie that's a bit long for you, tie a larger knot. If you're very tall and have trouble finding ties long enough for you, choose to tie a smaller knot.

How to add an article title to the "Read more..." link?
For this you can use the overrides...
If they are not already there, in your template folder: create a new folder called 'html'.
In that folder you create a folder called 'com_content'.
And in that folder you create the folders called "category", "frontpage", "section"
Then locate the following files
Copy the files to your template's html folders
Open these files.
Nearly at the bottom of these files you should be seeing something like:
<a href="<?php echo $this->item->readmore_link; ?>" class="readon<?php echo $this->item->params->get('pageclass_sfx'); ?>"> <?php if ($this->item->readmore_register) : echo JText::_('Register to read more...'); elseif ($readmore = $this->item->params->get('readmore')) : echo $readmore; else : echo JText::sprintf('Read more...'); endif; ?>
