These are the terms and conditions ("Terms") governing your use of Vodafone Ireland Limited's ("Vodafone") Mobile Internet Service (the "Service") which enables you (the "Customer") to access more easily websites from your mobile phone. This Service is operated by Vodafone (hereinafter referred to as "we", "us" or "our"). Any reference to "you" and "yours" refers to the Customer, being the user of the Service. The Terms are in addition to and form part of the General Terms and Conditions of the Vodafone Mobile Telecommunications Service (the "General Terms") which are available on www.vodafone.ie. In the event of any conflict between the Terms and the General Terms the Terms shall prevail.
By using the Service you confirm to us that you have the legal capacity and authority to enter into these terms and conditions with us. We may change the Service, including these Terms, at our sole and absolute discretion and without prior notice. By accessing the Service you accept that you are bound by the Terms.
The Service aims to make it easier to access websites from your mobile phone. Most web sites are not meant for display on mobile phones: They may contain too much information for your phone to handle, require code that your phone does not understand, or offer services that your phone cannot access.
In order to make these sites mobile friendly with adaptation, we:
The quality of your experience will depend on the capabilities of your phone.
'Made for mobile' pages, like the Ebay, MySpace and YouTube partner sites on your phone, have been specifically designed to work on a mobile phone and are much smaller than standard web pages. A made for mobile site offers and will be limited to only services suitable for use on a mobile phone.
We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service to access the internet generally from your mobile phone. We may prevent access to certain websites or parts of websites. If you are registered with us as being under 18 years of years, you will not be able to access websites classified by us as being for persons over 18 years old. Content, which is classified as being for persons over 15 years of age, may not be available to you if you are registered with us as being under 15 years of age. For more information on Vodafone Safety Net, please access www.vodafone.ie.
When we make the website mobile friendly this may mean that some content on the site may not be displayed or may only be available from a link. So please double-check before relying on any particular information or entering into any contract on the basis of what you see on your handset.
When you are viewing pages through a secure link using the Service, whilst the link is still secure you will not be able to verify a web site's SSL certificate as we have to modify the page. You agree that we can do this.
Vodafone continuously monitors network performance to ensure that the service received by customers is not impacted through a minority of users placing high demand on network resources (e.g. large bandwidths over long periods). Any such high-demand users can expect to experience reduced speeds at peak times. Peak times are subject to ongoing change based on actual network demands. This service does not support 'calls over the internet' or data sharing for any new customers or customers upgrading their tariff or Equipment from [10 March 2010] onwards. If you want to use data services like making calls over the internet or sharing data files over the internet you should choose a tailored add-on.
You, and any persons you allow to use the Service, are not allowed to:
You are responsible for any misuse of the Service even if it is by another person using your access to the Service.
We will also (in accordance with our Privacy Policy) co-operate with law enforcement and other relevant authorities with respect to any investigation or violation of network security and reserve the right to disclose any information (including personal data) derived from you as required by law or in the good faith belief that failure to comply with a legitimate request from a law enforcement agency would be likely to prejudice the prevention or detection of crime or the apprehension or detection of offenders.

The Service is provided to you through a variety of telecommunications systems and we are unable to guarantee error-free use or transmission of data to or from, or access to, any website accessed via the Service.

If you are dissatisfied with any part of the Service or with any of these Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using this Service.

Llanbedr jobsJobs 1 to 0 of 0.
Sorry, no jobs found.
General Search Tips
- Check your spelling.
- Try to use fewer keywords.
The Job Field (What?)
- Start by trying a job title e.g. "Sales manager". The autocomplete list will offer you some suggestions.
- The light blue suggestions are job categories, e.g. We will display every single job in Mechanical Engineering without you have to find the jobs using specific keywords.
The Location Field (Where?)
- Start by typing your town or city's name. e.g. "London", "Manchester". If the town is small then you could try typing the county name e.g. "Wiltshire".
- You can also type several town names separated by commas and jobs from all those locations will be returned.
- You can use terms such as "North East", "South Wales" which will show all jobs in a very broad region of a country.
- You can also use country names, e.g. "Scotland", "Wales" to show all jobs in those countries.

Which is a little bit problematic because nobody seems to really care about glamor - it doesn't seem to work on X.org 1.13 yet (more than 2,5 month after release). Which is sad because to use PRIME you seem to need the offload sink's X driver to be accelerated.The 2D support for the HD 7000 series on Linux is now being piped over the GLAMOR library to use 3D
Only partly correct. Not for hybrid graphics with "AMD Enduro".and while there is AMD Catalyst Linux driver support
vdpau has at least two components: Decoding and presentation. You can use vdpau from mesa for "presentation" (= rendering the decoded video on screen with scaling etc.) for every video format. But it will still be decoded mainly on the CPU for unsupported formats like h.264. Use vdpauinfo to see what formats are supported for decoding (and maybe you still need to set VDPAU_DRIVER=r600).
FWIW, radeonsi can handle much more than 'some basic 3D demos' now. It runs many real games / apps fine. 3D apps run at full acceleration including page flipping. We're very close to enabling full glamor 2D acceleration as well.
Obviously it's not nearly as mature as r600g yet, but it's certainly ready for wider testing by early adopters.
It is of course a sad thing that the fglrx puts HD4/3/2xxx series already to legacy and that the free stack still is far from being feature complete on the newest GPU arch. I'm quite fine with my HD5xxx (R800/Evergreen) and the free driver stack. But currently there are few things to make the Linux user completely happy on the GPU market. :/
edit: It's always a good idea to check the feature matrix on GPUs.

Kalso Earth Prosper Active Shoes 4 4
Wonderful,comfortable lite sneaker :) This shoe has to be one of the better ones I have used for long walking tours on vacation....very light on the foot almost slipper like :) The earth foot support is great on the feet and legs...... great for my walks on the treadmill too. Yes, I would buy these again ! Got them on sale wonderfully priced that's a great bonus ! January 13, 2014
ARRIVED 'NOT AS SHOWN' I recently purchased these shoes and was surprised and disappointed . The picture online shows a substantial insole that appears to have a built up arch and almost looks like saddle color leather. The shoes that arrived had a very thin green foam insole with a thin white material on top.No support at all. Interesting that the other reviewers didn't mention this. Perhaps it only occurs in the size 11 shoe, but there was NO arch support or cushioned insole as shown. Too bad, I loved the look of this shoe, just 'not a shown' February 8, 2014
Most comfortable shoes I really like the construction and material of this shoe. It's very comfortable and has a nice look. The appearance is very attractive for a walking shoe and a pleasant color. It's very easy to slip on. I'm looking forward to wearing them while on a trip to Italy this spring. January 21, 2014
Nice looking light casual shoe Usually Earth shoes run a little big but this shoe was true to size. It is smart looking and very light. My only concern is that for an all-day walking shoe the sole might be too light. February 20, 2014

Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, The Who, & Billy Joel To Headline MSG 'Sandy' Benefit
Monday, November 19, 2012
Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, the Who, Billy Joel, Roger Waters, and Jon Bon Jovi will be among the legends taking part in the 12-12-12: The Concert For Sandy Relief set for next month at New York's Madison Square Garden. Rolling Stone reported that the December 12th concert will raise money for the Robin Hood Relief Fund to aid victims of Hurricane Sandy. Other performers on the bill include Kanye West and Alicia Keys, with more acts soon to be announced. The concert is being presented by Madison Square Garden Company, Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, and The Weinstein Company. The concert will air live on the Fuse channel with ticket information expected to be announced in the coming days.
James Dolan, John Sykes, and Harvey Weinstein -- the same group that sponsored 2001's Concert For New York City -- said in a statement: "12-12-12 is shaping up to be a showcase of music royalty. The response from the entertainment community to help those most affected by Hurricane Sandy has been nothing short of astounding. We expect to announce additional legendary performers in the near future and we are confident that the event will ensure those in need will not be forgotten, and vital aid will be directed to rebuilding our communities along the East Coast."
The Who's Roger Daltrey admits that the band and the U.S. have enjoyed a mutual love of one another since the band's U.S. debut back in 1967 in New York City: "I've never ceased to be incredibly humbled by the affection shown by America to the Who. It's been an incredible relationship; our audience has been incredibly loyal. And it's great that you kind of get our music hopefully in the same way that we do. Y'know, I feel so passionate about (Pete) Townshend's music and what he wrote and it's standing in the big scheme of things. It seems to me that that's one thing that America gets as well -- they understand it too, they're as passionate about it as I am."

Manhunt 1, Scene #01
Manhunt 1, Scene #01
Hot House Video
- 8.9/10
Everybody's favorite hairy muscle stud Collin O'Neal snags himself a nice smooth jockboy to skewer for some afternoon delight. Andrew gets right onto Collin's thick piece, swallowing the whole thing and hungrily tonguing his swollen head and nuts. Once Collin is thoroughly wound up he turns Andrew around and chows down on his smooth bubble butt. But a taste is never enough, so Collin buries his big, mean chunk of meat into the boy's tight, pink hole. At first it seems like the nine inch dick is just too much for Andrew, but not for long. He climbs up on top of ripped, furry O'Neal and rides that huge dick like a pro. By now the two have themselves worked into a sweaty fury and Collin throws Andrew on his back and pummels his hole with his legs all the way back by his ears until they both cum fat white loads across Andrew's six pack abs.

Mike vick is crap. Mnf is absolutely unwatchable.
Mike vick is crap. Mnf is absolutely unwatchable.
Vick isn't the problem, it's the atrocious o-line... Brady couldn't operate with that line
Michael Vick has lost about 3 steps since that year he was an MVP candidate. His athleticism has dropped off and he relied on that to be decent. Now he's mostly a pocket passer and he's never been a good passer anyways. Keep collecting those checks Vick cause you're never seeing a contract like that again.
I have never seen an oline as bad as the eagles!
Philadelphia will have a new coach in 2013.
With a rookie QB even though Jake has struggled as of late,I think that would be the worse position to replace right now.
What's wrong with the Saints too??? They almost look like they're trying to give the Eagles the game.
I'm on team CalDolFan10x14. Join me!
-Dan MarinoI just try to be myself, whatever that is. I don't think about how I'll be remembered. I just want to be consistent over a long period of time. That's what the great players do.

Washington, D.C., 4 April 2012 (PAHO/WHO)-- Massachusetts Governor Deval L. Patrick proclaimed 7 April 2012 to be World Health Day and urged citizens to participate in the day's events, which this year are dedicated to healthy aging with the theme "Good health adds life to years."
World Health Day 2012 "emphasizes the importance of a healthy lifestyle, which includes physical activity, access to health care and social engagements that can enhance the quality of life, independence, and productivity of older adults, help them lead productive lives and be a resource for their families and communities," asserted the proclamation signed by Governor Patrick on 28 March.
By 2020, the Americas will have 200 million older people, almost double the figure for 2006, with more than half living in Latin America and the Caribbean. The increase in life expectancy and consequent growth in the older population has brought about a health transition characterized by a rise in non-communicable diseases and disability and a wider demand for health care.
The statement adds that the increase in older populations "necessitates cooperation between social, economic, political, government, business, civic organizations, and academia in order to address the challenges that stem" from this situation.
With this proclamation, Massachusetts joins in the World Health Organization's annual celebration, which is held every 7 April to observe the anniversary of its founding in 1948. World Health Day provides an opportunity to launch a collective action on an international health challenge and involve different actors in seeking solutions.
"It is appropriate to recognize the policy makers, business and non-profit leaders, and health care professionals that help further the World Health Organization's mission," concluded the proclamation from Massachusetts.
The Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) is promoting events in the countries of the region and at its headquarters in Washington, D.C. in observance of World Health Day and to promote the sharing of ideas and partnerships for activities to ensure healthy aging.

I truly do hope that Valve comes aboard the Linux platform, because then the door will be open for other gaming companies to do the same. The Linux platform desperately needs a solid gaming scene to attract more "Windoze" users to make the switch.
One more thing, checkout this web site:
I encourage all Linux users to check this out and to send in e-mails to encourage support for the Linux platform. It sounds amazing and so far they seem to be only supporting Windows and Mac OS X. From what I've read they use a browser plugin to transfer the latest 3D games to PC's.
The license isn't per-platform, nor per-machine. It's really awesome. Steam is the way games, movies, music, and so on should have been sold. If this is how all the other DRM worked, nobody but the fundamentalists would ever have started bitching about it.
Contrast to Ubisoft, whose CEO rapes puppies in the park on Tuesdays, kills kittens at animal shelters on Wednesdays, and creates user-hostile DRM schemes on Thursdays. You don't even want to know what he does Friday through Monday, I may get banned just for mentioning any of it!
Of course, DRM is completely useless as a copy protection mechanism. But it seems to help CEOs sleep at night.
My point is regardless of whether you're online or offline - you need steam started before you can launch a game. Offline mode is just Steam without checking the Steam online service. It's a small but still annoying thing - sometimes I'd like to jump straight into TF2 without going through Steam (especially as it takes up over 100mb ram, whether that's normal for Steam or simply inefficiencies in WINE I don't know). They seem to be deliberately using their own games as a way to peddle usage of their store. Nothing wrong with the store itself, but it's troublesome that they use them as battering rams to shove their store down my throat.
Better separation between the services and Steam application would be a God send, but I guess you can't have it all. I'm sure there'd be ways for 3rd parties to offer similar features with the same games.
Guestimate Fail - It's seems (not too surprisingly) Gabe's talk was about generating more buzz around Portal 2 (although it apparently) did involve fake-BSOD-ing the roughly 4000-large audience. I still hold at hope for a Linux release at some point (the latest Phoronix article seems to show hope, except for the bit based on my failed guestimate) in the future - maybe it was a bit too much to hope for expansion to two platforms almost simultaneously; the Mac support has come with Portal 2 maybe the unpredictable Linux release could come with the unpredictable Half-Life 2: Episode 3 release .
Guys there wont be a Linux release of Steam. I expected more from Michael Larabel rather than a "ZOMG IZ IT TRUE ??" type of article. It isn't very sensible Michael to falsely give hope to people

Lie Down in the Darkness, Rise up from the Ash: 28. Crossroads
Faramir was as good as his word. By sunset, the hobbits found themselves passing blindfolded through Ithilien, for as Faramir had explained ere they had left, strangers were not permitted to know the way to Henneth Annûn. Hearing that, Frodo had said nothing but felt the cold, hard knot of dread in his stomach tighten. In the midst of his horror, weakness and revulsion upon the high shelf above the hidden refuge, he had thought the world had gone grey, but now, as the Rangers led him along hidden paths, it seemed he saw too clearly, as if the barrier of cloth were nothing at all. All seemed bathed in a golden light that left no shadows within which to hide. From Ithilien to Minas Tirith, he fancied there was naught he could not see–Rangers tucked like foxes in their various lairs, birds and beasts, orcs, the occasional moth. Everything stood revealed. Everything. But Faramir need not know his exposure, there being nothing he could do about it in any case if it were true. Hence they walked in silence, he and Sam, and Faramir and his guards, all of them bound Frodo knew not whither.
At length, however, the Ranger guiding him squeezed his shoulders and brought him to a halt. Fingers tugged at the blindfold, and then Frodo found himself blinking in the twilight. Beside him, Sam rubbed at his eyes, scratched behind an ear, and glanced warily about. At this hour, the forest was so much shadow beneath a grey sky, and for a moment, Frodo felt disoriented, as if that gold-cast world had bled away into a fog. But after a few moments, his vision began to adjust, and he glanced up questioningly at Faramir.
"This way," Faramir murmured then. The hobbits followed him, and the two guards silently fell back a step, flanking them protectively. The night breezes were cool with winter still, but it was not an unpleasant evening in truth. A few months ago, Frodo might have appreciated it. Before Gandalf fell. Before Boromir was taken. Before Grishnákh. Frodo shuddered a bit at the thought of the orc captain, and firmly thrust his hideous image from mind. If he were lucky, then perhaps ere the end, memory of his tormentor might fade just as surely as memories of friends.
Faramir led them on for another hour, or perhaps a little longer, until finally, he came to a halt. Dark as it was, still, he turned and knelt before the hobbits once more, beckoning them closer. When Sam and Frodo had approached, he said in a low voice, "We have brought you across the road in safety. The patrol that I sent out this morning reported that no enemy was upon it for many miles, and it may be that our battles have bought you some time. Still, as you follow the forest eaves south, have a care, and be prepared to hide at need, for the Dark Lord is mustering his forces and the road will turn away from the trees after a time. Take these, therefore."
And here, Faramir motioned to one of the guards, who presented the hobbits with a pair of daggers. Well if plainly worked they were, sturdy and heavier than Sting or Sam's barrow-blade, but they were well-balanced, fit the hand easily, and would serve the hobbits well as swords.
"Belts you have for such as these," Faramir continued, as the guard knelt and armed the hobbits, "but we found no weapons to match them upon the field, nor among what we salvaged from the orcs. These we issue to new Rangers and they have served many well. Now, as to your course, the road is near, and when the forest ends, you shall see it before you. Follow it until you come to the crossroads, where the old king waits, and then continue until you stand within sight of Minas Morgul. Once there, continue east as swiftly as you may and follow the road up into the mountains; there lies Cirith Ungol. Beyond that, I can tell you no more of the path, for I know no more. But should you pass the tower and that dreadful way, you shall enter into a land of thirst. We have given you such water and food as you can carry. Drink therefore while in Ithilien where water is plentiful and refill the skins ere you reach the vale, for to drink of any stream that flows out of Imlad Morgul is perilous."
He paused, and in the new-birthed starlight, Frodo caught the gleam of his eyes, as he said, "I will not hide from you that my heart forebodes no good to come, nor do I hope that I shall see you again. Though," he added, and Frodo felt a certain surprise to hear a note of wry humor in his voice, "I hope that Sam shall not take that to mean that I am glad to be rid of you." Beside him, Sam muttered something inaudible, and Frodo was certain his friend was blushing furiously. "But if I would not have you bear this burden, glad am I that It shall be no longer near me, Frodo. It is not given to Men, it seems, to withstand such a trial, and of hobbits I know too little to judge. Therefore ere I go, I shall ask you for one favor."
"What is that, my lord?" Frodo asked warily, and he had the impression that Faramir smiled, though his voice was solemn when he spoke:
"When the way hardens, remember my brother."
Frodo felt his breath catch at that, as Faramir laid hands upon his shoulders and kissed his brow, then did the same to Sam, who bowed awkwardly in response. Then the Captain of Ithilien rose, as Frodo replied, "I shall try."
"Do so. And if it spurs you, then think of us who labor here. Fare you well, Frodo Baggins, Master Gamgee, unto the end." So saying, he bowed once and low. Then, with a soft-spoken word to his Rangers, he stepped past the hobbits and, moving like shades themselves, the trio disappeared amid the trees.
For a time, the hobbits stood still, gazing into the darkness after them, until at last, Sam said softly, "Well, then, how do you like that? Not much for cheer, but he's a wise one after all."
"Perhaps so," Frodo replied, still staring into the shadows. But at length, he turned away. Settling his pack more firmly on his back, he said in a low voice, "Come, Sam. We should go."
It was very near dawn before they stopped, after having groped and clambered along the edge of the forest for hours, with but few pauses. They crawled beneath a clump of gorse, where Frodo promptly fell asleep. Sam, who had been digging about in his backpack after a bag of dried apples, looked over his shoulder to find that his master had nodded off between one moment and the next. Well, Orothar said he would need a bit more time before he could go so long as before. I know I'm still a bit sore in the legs, myself. And it'll take longer before Mr. Frodo's arm heals, he thought, shining an apple on his sleeve out of habit before biting into it. Wrapping his arms about his knees, he settled in to keep watch as the day dawned. No bird announced it, however: whether they slept still or had fled, Sam did not know. Nor did he in fact know what the precise hour was, for a strange reek clouded the sky, such as Sam had never seen before, blotting out the sun. Sam squirmed a bit, uneasy, but as the hours passed, naught threatening showed itself, not even the mysterious mumâk, about which he still knew nothing but the name.
Some hours later, Frodo woke again and suddenly, sitting up quickly. Perhaps a little too quickly, as Sam reached out a hand to steady him. "Easy, Mr. Frodo. There's none but us here. And watch your head or you'll be caught in this infernal bush."
In the gloom, Frodo rubbed his eyes, then stared about at the darkened land, frowning. "What hour is it?"
"I don't rightly know," Sam admitted, shaking his head. "Sometime past dawn but before noon, I should say. With all this reek, it's hard to know if the sun's even up."
"She's up," Frodo replied softly. "And so should we be." So he said, as he accepted an apple and some bread from Sam with a nod of thanks. It was a frugal lunch, and Sam would have lingered over it longer, for he worried about his master's health. But Frodo was insistent: "The day is old already, and I would see the crossroads as soon as we can. Reek or no, we are exposed here; we must hurry."
"I'll not argue that, sir. These woods're too quiet for my liking," Sam agreed, hoisting his pack, and helping Frodo clamber out from beneath the gorse. "But," he continued, "don't forget you need to keep your strength up, and that may mean making haste a little more slowly."
"I know, Sam," Frodo replied. "But for the moment, I feel well enough, all things considered, so let us make the most of it!"
And so they did. All that day they kept a southward course as the sun, unseen, swept towards the west, and the shade lay heavy beneath the trees. The hobbits strained their ears as they walked, seeking the least sound that might herald the presence of another living being. But all the woodland creatures lay silent, or else, beasts being perhaps wiser than Men thought, they had abandoned the deadly woods of eastern Ithilien and sought harbor elsewhere. Only occasionally would they hear a rumbling, as of some distant thunder, but else, there was naught to be heard. Twice, Sam insisted that they stop to rest, and both times, he made certain that Frodo ate. Not that there seemed any real reason for concern in that regard: Frodo wolfed down their rations, and Sam took the opportunity to press as much as he dared on him. As much as prudence dictated that they be sparing with their food, Sam was not about to be so careful as to endanger Frodo's health. Wonder enough that he's on his feet so long as it is, he thought. No need to make it more of one.
Evening came, and the hobbits marked it with joy for the first time in many a long month, for it was then only that the sun escaped the miasma, winking bright upon the western horizon ere it set. A brief and precious reprieve it seemed to them, ere they returned to their blind labor. As they had the night before, they pressed on, though they moved less quickly in the pitch dark, walking hand in hand and feeling their way forward 'til at length, spirits flagging and feet faltering, they sank down beneath one of the trees. "Tomorrow," Frodo panted softly, "tomorrow we must move more quickly." Sam said nothing. He had not slept since the night before last, and he was nodding where he sat. Weary as Frodo was, he hesitated. So close to Mordor, and under such unfriendly skies, who knew what evil might befall a pair of sleeping travelers? But Frodo could feel his eyes closing; his arm ached fiercely, practically itching with pain, and it hung heavy like a leaden weight. And so, after a moment, he surrendered caution and laid him down at Sam's back. Trusting to fortune, he thrust his hand deep into his pocket and closed his fist firmly about the Ring. After only a little while, he fell asleep.
And it seemed that fortune was with them, for they woke to a brown, sullen morning to find themselves undisturbed. In silence they broke their fast, and Sam took Faramir's advice and made certain they both drank liberally. Then they rose and continued on their way. As they walked, the quiet waxed, grew to be as a third presence in their company, one that stalked and haunted them. As the forest thinned, it grew the worse, and Sam found himself glancing over his shoulder more often than not. What he sought, he did not know, yet some part of his heart whispered that he missed more than sound.
Well of course I do, he told himself, each time he dragged his eyes back to the dim-lit land before them. Starting with Rose and my Gaffer, and all the others, and pillows and my own mattress, and proper meals, the Green Dragon's beer, my poor daffodils at home... For some reason, that last caught in his mind and he found himself worrying about them. Not but that the Gaffer's right good with greens and roots, but he isn't one for flowers so much. I wonder how he's getting on without me about? Who'll rub his joints when they get stiff or help him with the planting? He did not know, and the matter troubled him. Yet despite his worrying which quite occupied his mind, still he found himself glancing back furtively, staring into the gloom, seeking that missing he knew not what.
It was late when they came at last to the end of the forest. It opened out onto a tumble of a slope, onto which clung an old oak, its twisting maze of roots seeming to claw at the crumbling hillside, as if trying to hold it up. "I don't know," Sam said doubtfully, staring down. "Those hills in the Emyn Muil were bad enough, and I'm plain worn out right now. That Grishnákh ran the legs off of me and thinking of climbing down that's fit to make a body cry. Shouldn't we wait 'til tomorrow, sir?" This, as he glanced at Frodo, who was staring not at the unhappily steep descent but out towards the valley. Draped by a thick fog, it lay dark before them, as a shadow in the night, and below, along the hither bank of the stream that bled out of that dreadful valley, ran the road. Sam shivered slightly. "Sir?"
"I do not wish to wait," Frodo said slowly and then paused, never taking his eyes from the misty vale. Sam bit his tongue against the urge to speak immediately. Frodo seemed to be considering something, weighing some decision in his mind, and so he waited, trying to school himself to patience. The sun was fast setting, slipping beneath the reek to cast a red, baleful light over the world that nevertheless failed to penetrate the pall that lay before them. The whole valley seemed to shimmer and writhe as the light mingled uneasily with the vapors, and then vanished as if swallowed. It was a rather queasy sight, and Sam quickly looked away. Beside him, Frodo sighed softly. "I think, Sam, that we should not waste the light. Who knows how long it may last, or whether we shall get any better tomorrow?"
To that, there could be no answer, and so, after a long moment spent glaring at the slope, Sam sighed. "Well then, let's be about it. The sooner we're done, the sooner we rest."
As it happened, the slope was less difficult than it looked, for though it was steep, the footing was most treacherous in the initial third of the descent. But there the tree helped them, for they could hold onto its roots and let themselves carefully down and with better speed than they would have thought possible. Even one-handed, Frodo had less trouble than Sam might have expected, though he kept a hand free himself in case his master should need it. The rest of the slope was loose rock and earth, and with each step, they sank into it, sometimes up to their knees as they half slid down the last of the incline. Nevertheless, despite their speed, it was dark indeed by the time they reached the bottom. Weary as they were, they did not seek far for shelter, but swiftly found a pair of boulders at the base of the slope. Huddled in the narrow space between the incline and the stones, they cast their cloaks over themselves and fell asleep, seeming as stones themselves.
And again fortune favored them, it seemed: dusty as they were, smelling of the earth of that accursed place and hidden from sight beneath their cloaks, the scouts that preceded the army out of the valley passed them by; and when later that night the sound of iron-shod orcs and armored Men woke the hobbits from their rest, when the horsemen who rode in the van clattered by, and the hobbits lay stiff with terror, still, none remarked them. Red eye and ghastly moon, and company from the high tower, they came marching in the gloom. How long that column took to pass, the hobbits knew not, but when at last the rearguard had disappeared, and the echoes of their passage sounded no longer in the gully, a curly-haired head peered cautiously about the rocks and took stock of the setting.
"I don't see anything," Sam whispered, squinting into the night as he craned his neck up the road and then glanced back down it after the army once more. "And I don't hear nothin' neither." With a soft sigh of relief, he settled with his back against the boulders and glanced over at Frodo. "They've gone!"
"For now," Frodo replied, rubbing his eyes as his hand in his pocket clenched tightly. For a time they sat in silence there and Sam hugged himself, rubbing at his arms to ease the gooseflesh raised by thought of how close they had come to capture. Not another orc march! he thought, and shuddered.
"Are they going to Gondor, do you think?" he asked after a moment.
"All their roads lead west," Frodo replied softly, and glanced up then at the shrouded sky. It seemed to Sam that he listened for something, for he cocked his head slightly and let his eyes close. Only for a short while, and then Frodo shook his head sharply and rose. "As ours lead east. We have had our rest. Let us go."
"Mr. Frodo, it's only been a few hou–"
"We have no hours," Frodo replied, voice tight. And without a further word, he began walking, even as Sam scrambled up, wincing at the protests of tired legs and feet.
"It's the middle of the night!" Sam groaned, but staggered after him. For he's right, you know, he told himself, as he hefted his pack and quickened his stride. But as he fell in behind Frodo, he paused and looked back a last time down that road, and he thought of the woods that they had left standing silently behind. All their roads lead west–west to Gondor. "Good luck, Faramir," he muttered, then turned and hurried after his master.
Dawn came again and was marked only by a slight lightening of the sky to a murky brown. The hobbits followed the line of the cliff, which grew higher as they went onward. The earth was hard and rocky, and though they avoided the road, which had by now crossed the stream, the going proved easier than they would have expected. The land had been cleared, save for a scattering of boulders here and there, and the creeping, stunted brambles that plagued the land. They sought shelter at noon beneath a tangle of them and sipped their water carefully. Exhausted from their night's work, the hobbits fell asleep there, and it was not until the late afternoon that they woke again. Struggling free of the clinging, grasping branches, they trudged doggedly onward for another hour or so, backs bent and eyes fixed on the ground before them.
Thus, Sam was surprised when he chanced to look up, for it seemed to him that the trees had appeared from nowhere. A little copse of them stood before them, but the trees themselves were immense. How they had escaped the merciless axes of the orcs, Sam did not know, though certainly they were not free of the horror of the valley. Twisted, barren branches opened onto the sky, as arms lifted in futile supplication, and passing amongst the trunks, he was reminded of the great pillars of Moria. But no kingly hall did they uplift, though indeed, a king sat there in their midst. In the center of the circle of trees, he sat in judgment of the ways that lay at his feet, it seemed–four roads that ran towards their separate destinies. As the trees, the king, too, sat in torment: headless, marred by hateful hands and time, and the signposts he bore now spoke of Mordor's malice: orc-scrawl and symbols of Mordor had been scratched into the stone and drawn as high as a Man could reach all on his robes and throne.
"Well, here we are," Sam murmured, glancing about. "This must be the crossroads Faramir told us about. Gloomy place." He paused then, staring up at the king as a shiver ran down his spine. "I don't much like it. There's something here that creeps my flesh." Sam paused again, waiting expectantly for Frodo to speak. But no response came, and Sam, grown sensitive to his master's moods, felt alarm rise immediately as he glanced over his shoulder. "Are you all right, sir?" he asked sharply. For Frodo stood by him, clutching at his arm as if in pain, and Sam frowned anxiously. "Mr. Frodo?"
"Run!" Frodo ordered tautly, stumbling towards the statue. Beneath the great, stony sweep of the king's mantle as it fell to one side of his knees, there was a small, sheltered space, and Frodo flung himself down beneath it, there to cower in the shadows. Sam, hard on his heels, had to slither on his belly to join him.
"What is it?" Sam demanded, tucking his cloak about his feet as he drew his knees up to his chest, making himself as small as possible.
"He is near," Frodo whispered, baring his teeth in a grimace. "Very near..."
"Hush!" But even as he said it, a shrill cry broke the stillness of the air, and Sam blanched. Frodo's breath hissed loudly in his ear as the two of them huddled against each other, panting in their terror. Frodo raised his left hand to his mouth and bit down on the knuckles as if to keep from crying out while his right hand clutched Sam's shirt, twisting the cloth desperately. His whole frame was quaking–whether in pain or whether from the workings of the Ring, Sam did not know. But the winged menace did not pause, having other business, and before long, the terror faded. Frodo went limp, releasing him. "It is past," he murmured faintly as he lowered his hand. "He is gone. It is past."
"Are you sure?"
"The Eye looks to Gondor now, and so there he goes," Frodo replied wearily. "He shall not return 'til the battle is over."
"Well there's luck, then. At least for us," Sam replied, thinking worriedly of friends, old and new, now far behind them to the west. After a few moments, though, he unfolded and crawled from beneath their shelter, dusting himself off as he stood. Warily, he looked about but it seemed that Frodo was correct: although he strained his hearing, no sound reached him. With a sigh then, he reached back and extended a hand to Frodo, helping to pull him from their hiding place and to his feet. Frodo was wincing, rubbing his arm, and Sam bit his lip. His master looked now entirely too pale and wan for his liking. We need a bit of time 'til we get back on our feet, he thought. So he slipped his pack off and reached into one of its pockets to fish out a lembas wafer. "Might as well eat a bit, since we are staying here a moment."
"Sam, we must–"
"Now, Mr. Frodo, it'll do us both good. We'll walk the farther for it and after that fright, we need it. Besides, if you're right, then we're safe enough, for our flying friend is off to join that lot we saw last night. Who else would be coming this way? Here," he said, carefully unwrapping a leaf. Then, taking the waybread carefully in hand, he broke it and offered a half to Frodo. "Eat. At least we've good company, it seems," he added, gesturing to the mournful old statue. "A right proper job of guarding the road he's done for us, wouldn't you say? Only right to say thank you, and where there's two, there's enough for three at table, as my Gaffer always says. Even if the third don't eat."
Frodo shook his head, but he held out his hand nonetheless, and even smiled a bit, as he said, "Long may he live, your Gaffer." In silence, then, they ate and shared again a little water from one of their water skins, and it was a marvel to Sam that so little was needed to sate the hunger that had begun to gnaw at his belly. And it seemed to him, also, that he felt a new measure of strength return to him. I wish I was back in Lórien, he thought as he chewed slowly. But I suppose since I can't be, this'll have to do, thank the Lady for her kindness. If only it hadn't been for that mirror... But Sam shook his head and swallowed, then broke off another morsel for himself, determined to remember the by far more pleasant parts of their stay in Lórien.
When they had finished, Frodo reached for his pack, but Sam stayed him. "Before we go farther, I want to see that arm, Mr. Frodo. I know Orothar thought you would be well enough, and he's done his best, but we should be taking care of it better, I think. I'm not Strider to know much about such things, but we've done an awful lot for having run with orcs, and what if you're bleeding again after all of it?"
Frodo grimaced, but after a moment's consideration, he nodded. "You're right, of course. I should be glad that I've not had more trouble. I would have thought that after the orcs..." he trailed off and shuddered slightly.
"Me, too," Sam replied quickly, and began unwinding the bandage. "I suppose Orothar's a better surgeon than we'll ever know. I expect you'd have to be better than most to be in Ithilien. Still, I–bless me!" Sam had fully intended to use a little of their precious water to wash his hands if it were necessary to treat the cut in any way. But now he reached out and ran a grimy finger along the edge of a pale, puckered scar. Frodo flinched, ticklish, but he, too, stared in astonishment. There was no blood, and if the scar seemed new, it was certainly not pink.
"But... that isn't possible!" Sam exclaimed softly. "I've had skinned knees that took longer to heal!" After a moment of dumbfounded silence, he settled back on his heels and shook his head, glancing concernedly at Frodo, who was staring at his arm still. "Not to say that I'm not glad to see you mended, sir, but this ain't natural!"
"No, it's quite unnatural, I fear," Frodo replied softly, lowering his arm. Sam's eyes flicked downward, watching as that hand thrust immediately into Frodo's pocket. "Not natural at all, just as they always used to say back home, when Bilbo was there, and then later. He didn't age, and neither did I; that wound from Weathertop closed too quickly and mail or no mail, that truncheon should've shattered me in Moria, so Aragorn thought. But I wasn't wearing It this time, or holding It: It was in me."
"But surely It hasn't anything good about It!" Sam protested, and Frodo shook his head.
"I'm sure It doesn't have anything good about It. But I suppose that nothing that is can be wholly without merit–even Isildur said It was beautiful, if you remember. Or would you remember? Were you there for that tale?" Frodo asked, frowning as the memory bled out into a dim impression of voices.
"Aye, and for the whole Council," Sam replied, then sighed softly. "I suppose there is that, though it don't make much sense to me. But since you are well, and we've had a bit of a rest, I suppose we ought to be on our way."
They rose, and as Frodo hastily redonned his shirt, Sam folded the old bandage and tucked it into his pack. And after a moment's thought, he shoved the mallorn leaf wrappers in with it, since there was no point in leaving any trace of their passage for enemies to find. Then, because Sam was still quicker than Frodo when it came to such things, he finished buttoning his master's shirt, while Frodo stood staring past him at the statue in whose shadow they had supped.
"Evil mars itself, and so nothing is wholly ruined," Frodo murmured, seeming to think aloud.
"Is it not strange that they would spare him, even as he is?" he asked, gesturing to the headless king. "Why not destroy all?"
"Too much work?" Sam suggested, eyeing the solid weight of stone as he finished his task.
"Perhaps," Frodo replied, but seemed unsatisfied. "It must mean something!" But he spoke no further, sighing as he turned away to look up and down the road. There was no sign of any living thing, and so, after a moment, he said, resolutely, "Let us go." Sam nodded, then grunted softly as he reshouldered his pack. But ere he left, he cast a last, thoughtful look up at the battered old king, puzzling over his master's words. However, nothing insightful came to him, and so Sam simply turned and followed, even as over the mountains there flickered a red glow, and a muted thunder marked their departure from the crossroads...
... as from the Silence of the Void there came a Soundless shuddering; the Notes scattered by Dis-chord trembled, and began to Whisper...
A/N: "Journy to the Crossroads" hurt me. Lots of heavy reliance on it, particularly for Faramir's speech. Check your copies for comparisons if you are curious.

From the picture I thought this was a 2-piece ornament; a small glass ball with a square hanging from the bottom. In fact it is only one piece, a really large glass ball. It's pretty, but not what I thought it would be.

Dear Santa I've Been So Good Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
The front of this ornament has Santa's legs and famous black boots hanging down with the words DEAR SANTA in white and on the back of this lime green glass ball are the words I'VE BEEN SO GOOD written in white. A fun personalized holiday ornament for the child or adult who firmly believes that they belong on Santa's Nice List and not the Naughty List. It matters not whether they have to beg and plead to make the cut, either! Or as a fun joke for the season goes: Christmas is canceled this year because I told Santa you were good and he died laughing!

Service Credit Union donates to Salvation Army and food pantries
Saturday, November 17, 2012
Service Credit Union Vice President of Marketing Karen Benedetti along with local branch officials kicked off the weeklong of donations by contributing 100 food vouchers to the Portsmouth Salvation Army Tuesday morning.
This is the sixth consecutive year, Service Credit Union contributed to charitable food centers in New Hampshire for the Thanksgiving holiday. The credit union also donated gift cards and food baskets to families in need on U.S. military installations in Germany.
The Rochester Salvation Army and the Somersworth Community Food Pantry will get 50 food vouchers each, while the Salem Food Pantry will receive 20 turkeys and 20 food gift certificates.
Service Credit Union's holiday giving campaign is highlighted by a food and monetary donation to the New Hampshire Food Bank. The credit union collected non-perishable food items from all of its branches in New Hampshire and one in Falmouth, Mass.
"Service Credit Union has been serving New Hampshire for more than 55 years and we were eager to roll up our sleeves and support the community during this time of need," says Gordon Simmons, president/CEO of Service Credit Union. "We realize that times are tough for many individuals and we want to do our part to support the communities where we do business and help the families who live in them. We take pride in making sure families can provide during the holidays."

The Honourable Andrew McNamara
Campers Encouraged to Heed 12 Rules of Christmas
Campers and visitors to Queensland's many protected areas have been urged to heed some simple messages to help ensure they and people around them have a safe and happy Christmas holiday.
Minister for Sustainability, Climate Change and Innovation, Andrew McNamara, said that following the "12 Rules of Camping" will assist campers enjoy their holiday, and keep Queensland national parks and forests beautiful for future generations to enjoy.
"From the western desert areas to the eastern seaboard, the New South Wales border to the tip of Cape York, Queensland is fortunate to have an array of spectacular national parks and protected areas as popular holiday and recreation destinations," Mr McNamara said.
"They can provide something for just about everyone with a range of affordable and enjoyable recreation opportunities, including camping, bushwalking, picnicking and commercial tourism activities.
"But as with any holiday destination, doing a little homework to plan your visit and fnd out what you can and cannot do will help ensure the experience is a memorable one.
"By following these few simple messages, we hope everyone visiting protected areas throughout Queensland will return home safe, happy and relaxed:
1. Book your campsite - online at epa.qld.gov.au/camping or by phoning 13 13 04 as onsite, self registration is not available at most camping spots;
2. Book early to ensure a spot and avoid disappointment;
3. Check if there are fire restrictions, and if so, don't light a fire;
4. If you're taking children camping, make sure you know where they are at all times, particularly when they're swimming;
5. Secure your food to prevent wildlife being attracted to it, and don't feed any wildlife if they come near;
6. If you're going for a bush walk make sure you tell people where you're going and stick to the tracks;
7. If you get lost sit tight until someone comes;
8. Go slow on the water if in designated turtle and dugong areas. It's a $300 on-the-spot fine if you're caught speeding;
9. If you're taking a 4WD, stick to speed limits out of respect for fellow campers and wildlife;
10. Check condition reports on the EPA website (http://www.epa.qld.gov.au), including fire and 4WDing restrictions;
11. Take your litter with you when you go; and
12. Just because you're in the wild doesn't mean you can go wild yourself - antisocial laws still apply so respect the environment and the rights of others."
Mr McNamara said more information about camping and visiting Queensland's protected areas was available on http://www.epa.qld.gov.au.

Please reserve that for when this driver can play at least half the games the Nvidia driver can play.3D Driver Almost Working
If somebody is running an HTPC or just wants to do 2D desktop work and play videos, I suggest skipping fglrx and using the Xorg radeon driver with a 2.6.30 or better kernel. XVideo with xorg-video-radeon has *excellent* video quality and is much lighter on the CPU and GPU than fglrx + OpenGL output.
Please reserve that for when this driver can play at least half the games the Nvidia driver can play.3D Driver Almost Working
First of all using opengl for video is just a really ugly workaround and no solution - xv has to work correctly! Also fglrx opengl does not work with xinelib backend in kaffeine/xine somehow here.
noueveau might be able to do, but never tried.
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/GalliumHowto states, in a nutshell, that nouveau's Gallium code is broken, in heavy development, experimental, and does not accept bug reports.
As far as I know, the most advanced thing that works decently correctly with nouveau is xmoto.
3D is great, but I would settle for some good 2D. Neither the fglrx driver or the radeonhd driver give usable performance in 2D yet. I have little hope for fglrx, even the catalyst driver for Windows is terrible. Try dragging a window around with show contents turned on, it's slower than it was a decade ago!
Still it is nice to hear things are progressing, hopefully I will be able to use my shiny new video card someday. For now, I wonder if we are overselling how well these things work. If anyone is considering buying one of the newer ATI cards for anything besides games, they are crazy.

You may not choose to become a father at aged 77, but from a strictly biological perspective, it is within the realm of possibility. Most men produce sperm for their entire lives.
The male reproductive system is relatively simple; as a result, it generally functions quite efficiently. Sperm are produced in the testicles and stored within the scrotum in a "sack" called the epididymis. During erection, but before ejaculation occurs, the sperm travel from the epididymis to the vas deferens. The vas deferens is the tube that is severed in a vasectomy . The sperm is then propelled to the urethra where they mix with other fluids to form semen, which is ejaculated through the tip of the penis.
What Can Stand in the Way of Fertility?
Certain medical conditions can interfere with the proper functioning of the reproductive process. They include:
- Lack of Physical Structures or Blockages —Some men are born without a vas deferens or with tubal blockages. These conditions may be treated with surgery.
- Varicocele —The development of a varicocele , or varicose veins in the scrotum, which occurs in nearly 20% of men, can sometimes affect sperm production. Removing the veins may boost fertility, though the evidence favoring surgery remains incomplete.
- Retrograde Ejaculation —A condition in which semen travels in the wrong direction back into the bladder rather than being released through the penis. This can be caused by prostate and other types of surgery in the pelvic area. Drugs that close the opening from the urethra to the bladder can alleviate this problem.
- Diabetes and Multiple Sclerosis —These conditions can impair the nerves that promote normal ejaculation.
- Infections — Urinary tract , prostate, or tubal infections can cause blockages that can be treated by antibiotics. Gonorrhea and chlamydia are sexually transmitted infections that can scar the epididymis; however, these scars can be treated with microsurgery.
Maintaining Your Fertility
The average male produces 60-100 million sperm per milliliter (mL) of semen. Low sperm counts are not considered a problem until they get as low as 20 million per mL, which is diagnosed as oligospermia. That may still sound like an enormous number, but statistics show that it is more difficult for couples to conceive at this level.
Conception is difficult at low sperm levels, because even at full count, only a fraction of sperm survive the difficult journey from the vagina through the uterus to the fallopian tubes, where conception takes place. The sperm must be strong swimmers. A man can have a low sperm count but still successfully conceive if his sperm have good motility.
Semen analysis can tell you the quantity and quality of your sperm. If your sperm count is critically low, a drug called clomiphene citrate, which stimulates testosterone production, can sometimes boost sperm creation.
One way to maintain healthy fertilityis to adopt a fertility-friendly lifestyle.This can be done by avoiding smoking and alcohol. You can also increase your physical activity, eat right, and maintain a healthy weight.
The temperature of the testicles is one of the most significant factors in fertility. Testicles do not produce sperm well at high temperatures. That is why nature, in its infinite wisdom, placed the testicles a few inches from the body. This keeps them cool. Men with undescended testicles have difficulties producing sperm.
Men who wear tight pants and/or tight briefs, regularly use saunas, jacuzzis, hot tubs,or whirlpools or even take frequent hot baths might have lower sperm counts. When you stop these activities or change to looser clothing, it may increase your sperm count.
Other factors that can adversely affect fertility include:
- Sports Injuries —Take care to protect your testicles while playing sports. If a sport requires a cup, it is a good idea to wear one. It is not unheard of for men to be hit in the testicles with a golf ball or a tennis ball, therefore, it makes good sense to wear a cup whenever you participate in physical activity.
- Exposure to Chemicals —Herbicides and pesticides can affect fertility. If you use them in your garden, be sure to follow instructions carefully and take appropriate precautions. Pesticide residues in food, however, have not been shown to affect fertility.
- Radiation —Men who are regularly exposed to radiation such as lab technicians may experience fertility problems. If you have x-rays anywhere near the testicles, be sure to have the technician shield your groin area with a lead blanket. The radiation from computer or television screens has not been found to be a problem.
- Smoking —A review of the literature indicates that cigarette smoking is associated with modest reductions in semen quality including number of sperm and motility.
- Obesity —Obesity has been cited as a risk factor for male infertility in studies that looked at couples attempting to conceive.
Prescription Medications
—Various drugs have been found to affect the number or appearance of sperm in animals and occasionally in humans:
- Sulfasalazine—for the treament of ulcerative colitis
- Cimetidine—for the treatment of peptic ulcer
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors—for the treatment of depression
- Chemotherapy drugs—for the treatment of cancer
If you and your partner have been trying to conceive and are not having success, see your doctor.
