Lie Down in the Darkness, Rise up from the Ash: 34. Setting the Board
At least, Merry thought, he was eating like a hobbit. Merry had filched a few extra rolls from the kitchen—the fruits of yestereve's final baking—and brought them to his cousin. Pippin had devoured them gratefully, and then the waybread, and was now only nursing the tea, and only because, Merry thought, warmth was hard to come by this morning. Merry certainly felt chilled.
He had felt so since Pippin had come bursting in last night, beaming, to exclaim, "Merry, I did it! Help me pack!" Which had needed some explanation, and Merry had had to draw it out one frustrating step at a time as Pippin had dashed about their room, quickly retrieving scattered belongings and clothes, folding them up and stuffing them into his pack. With a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, he had listened, and by the time he had heard the whole of it, he thought his heart had fallen straight into his toes. Pippin had noticed his expression, and as he had shouldered his pack, had come, puzzled, to stand before Merry, who had sat huddled in the sheets.
"Merry," he had said, reaching out to squeeze his hands, "what is it? If Strider will have me, why, he'll have you, too, you know—just come with me. He'll relent—he'll have to or he'll have to go back on his word and leave me here, too. And you know he's not the sort for that!"
"I can't," Merry had replied miserably.
"What do you mean, you can't?" Pippin had asked. "Just tell Éowyn we got Strider to agree to take us. She'll be glad, I'm sure—it is one less thing for her to worry over."
"I can't ride with you, Pippin, because I'm already spoken for," Merry had said, and sighed. "I promised Éowyn I would ride in Éomer's company, to keep a watch on him. She's that worried about him, you see."
His cousin's face had fallen at that. For all their scheming, they had not truly thought to be separated on this venture. Not even Saruman's orcs had come between them after all. But oaths and other friendships could, it seemed, and so Merry stood now with Pippin in the thin fog, waiting for a sign, and he fretted, shifting from foot to foot. Beside him, Pippin clutched at his mug, blowing on cold fingers, and he gave Merry a look out of the corners of his eyes.
"Are you angry with me?" Pippin asked at last. Merry blinked, and then again, staring down at his toes.
"A little, I suppose," he finally said. "I knew you were up to something last night. I even guessed what it was, though I didn't say anything. I thought I wouldn't need to say anything."
"Because you thought Strider would reason me out of it?"
Merry nodded, then gave his cousin a rueful smile. "I suppose if I'm angry with anyone, it's him," he said, and kicked at the wet grass. "Here I was counting on him to be horribly sensible about taking you anywhere near Gondor, but ten minutes alone with you and sense goes right out of his head, it seems!" At that, Pippin grinned, and Merry, too, felt his smile broaden at the sight. He could not help it, even as he had to swallow the lump in his throat to ask: "You'll take care, Pippin?"
"As much as I can," Pippin replied stoutly.
"And a little more than that, I hope," said a new voice, and both hobbits looked up as a tall, grey form appeared suddenly, leading a horse. Merry needed a moment to put a name to the face revealed when the man pushed his hood back, but by then, Pippin was already asking:
"Are we to ride now, Halbarad?"
"As soon as we know all are ready," the Ranger replied, then gave Pippin a rather stern look. "Let's have a look at that blade, lad."
"My sword?" Pippin frowned over the unexpected request. But Halbarad merely raised a brow and held out his hand. And so Pippin drew the sword and offered it up for the other's inspection. Halbarad took it, hefted it once, ran a finger along an edge.
"When was the last time you sharpened this?" he asked.
"Er, sharpened?" Pippin glanced at Merry, who shifted uncomfortably. It was, after all, his blade.
"You can't go without a sword, Pippin," he had told him last night, and pressed the Barrow-blade into his cousin's hands.
"But what about you? You'll be riding to Gondor, too—" Pippin had protested, but Merry had shaken his head.
"I'll ask Éowyn about getting a new one. I've got time enough, and surely someone here has an extra dagger. But you've got to leave on the morrow. Take it."
And so Pippin had, and Merry had felt the better for it. But being no warrior himself, and having no use for swords in the midst of all the confusion and worry of the past few days, he had not thought to check the edge. He supposed he had thought it well enough—after all, hadn't Strider said he had used Pippin's blade on an orc back in Edoras? Then again, he supposed that at need, one used whatever was at hand, and from what he had heard and seen of the battle of Edoras, dire need had been the one thing the besieged had not lacked.
"I don't know," Merry said at last. "I think I must have done it last before Parth Galen."
Halbarad grunted. "Aragorn thought it might be so when he saw Pippin with it this morning. Here." He returned the weapon—not to Pippin, but to Merry, who received it with some chagrin. "'Tis a good blade, and with some care, will serve you more than well. But we have no time for such labor who ride this morn. So for you, lad..." Halbarad trailed off and twitched his cloak aside slightly to reveal a dagger, the hilt of which was just visible past his elbow. With the ease of long practice, he undid the strap that kept it in place at his back, all without looking, and handed it then to Pippin. Pippin hesitated a moment before accepting it, then very gingerly slid it out of its sheath. Merry, who came to look over his shoulder, grunted.
Though there was little tracery on the hilt, and none upon the blade, still, even Merry could see that the make was not unlike that of his Barrow-blade, though he thought it seemed newer, perhaps a little lighter. Or no, not lighter, but something is missing, Merry thought, but wondered what, and wondered too what made him think so.
"We have not the art we once had," Halbarad said then, seeming to guess Merry's thoughts, and the hobbits looked up at him. "But it has saved me before."
"But will you not then miss it?" Pippin asked, concern furrowing his brow. "I should just ask a Rider—"
"Nay, for the hour is struck," Halbarad replied, and pointed. Merry and Pippin turned to see Rangers and their horses moving now, hurrying to form ranks. "And I shall not miss it, for you ride with me. Come!"
Merry felt his back stiffen and his stomach knot at that, and he drew a deep breath, even as Pippin sheathed the dagger, stuck it under one arm, and hurriedly swallowed the rest of his tea. Then he pressed the mug into Merry's hands. For a moment, they stood thus, and Merry felt his cousin's fingers warm upon his chill ones. This is farewell, I guess, he thought, and saw the fear in Pippin's eyes, too. Which wouldn't do at all, and so Merry cleared his throat, essayed a smile, and took the cup. He embraced his cousin quickly, and murmured into his ear, "Take care of yourself. And take care of Strider."
"I'll see you in Gondor," Pippin whispered back.
"In Gondor." Merry repeated, then drew back. But as Halbarad lifted Pippin into the saddle and made ready to mount behind him, Merry quickly caught at the Man's cloak.
"Master Brandybuck?" the Man replied, a trace of impatience in his voice now.
"You take care, too," Merry said in a low, urgent voice, and stared up at the Ranger, willing him to understand. And after a moment, Halbarad's face seemed to soften slightly, and he nodded.
"As best I can, I will." Just that, and no more, ere he swung up into the saddle. With a word to his mount, they were off, trotting swiftly to the head of the column, where Aragorn now sat his horse. Halbarad drew up beside him, and it seemed the two conferred a moment. Then came a horn call, and of a sudden, the company was moving. Merry dashed after them, past a row of deserted tents, past the Rohirric guards who watched and shivered and made signs of warding in their wake.
"Farewell, Pippin!" he cried, and waved, knowing Pippin could neither see nor hear him now. Not that it mattered. When at last he came to a halt, and stood panting, hands on his knees while he craned his neck to gaze after the Rangers now far down the fields, he wiped at his eyes and did not bother to pretend it was just the cold that made them tear. And when he had finally blinked them dry, he found that the mist had closed in over the great sward, and the Grey Company was no more to be seen.
'Twas there that Éowyn found him, staring into the fog. She must have been speaking with Aragorn ere the departure of the Dúnedain, and she, too, had a cup in hand—or rather, a goblet, and empty as Pippin's was. Laying a hand on his shoulder, she said softly, "Come, Merry, we've work to do."
And so he followed her to a tent, where he was greeted once more by Captain Éothain, his hair loose, standing unarmored in his shirtsleeves and breeches at so early an hour, seeming to Merry's eye rather dour. At his side slouched a rather sleepy, worried-seeming Greta, whose expression lightened considerably when he saw Merry. In spite of himself, the hobbit could not help but wonder what the young man had said or done that he imagined this early summons to his captain's tent to be a matter of discipline. Of course, for that matter, Merry was unsure what he was doing in the captain's tent at this hour, either—"work" was vague as the morning's fog after all.
"My lady," Éothain said respectfully, then glanced down at Merry. "Master Holbytla, it seems you are well-claimed."
"Sir?" Merry asked.
"I have told Éothain that you are to ride in his company, since he is my brother's captain and closest to him," Éowyn explained.
"Then you have my thanks, sir," Merry said, and bowed, which courtesy seemed to make little impression upon the captain.
"Were I in your stead, lad, I would not be so free yet with my thanks," he replied, darkly. Éowyn laid a hand on Merry's shoulder at that, and Éothain's eyes flicked to it, then up to his lady's face, ere he sighed and gestured to Greta. "Nevertheless, 'tis not me whose opinion you need fear, but Éomer's. So, since you seem well-suited to each other, I am giving you into Greta's care once more. And when I say 'care', I mean it: you will ride with him, eat with him, sleep with him—in short, you are his shadow henceforth, or better, his baggage. 'Twill be his task to keep you out of the Marshal's sight, Master Holbytla, and I expect you will not seek to make this difficult, for him or for me. Understood?"
In the face of the captain's narrow-eyed scrutiny, there was but one response to make: "Yes, sir!" Merry replied quickly, and bowed again.
"Good. Then go see to your gear. Greta can help you with it," the captain ordered, and after a glance at Éowyn, who nodded encouragingly, and added, "I have had some things delivered to your room, Merry, that you will need", Merry scampered from the tent, Greta on his heels.
"Now that," the Rider declared once they were out of earshot, "was worth getting up for!"
"Were you wakened?" Merry asked, contritely, craning his neck up at the young man. "I am sorry! I don't mean to be trouble for you."
"Nay, 'tis no trouble—fortunately," Greta replied, and made a sign for good luck. "But the captain is not one to bow to many—not even to the Third Marshal, or at least, not without arguing. I've not seen him so put in his place for quite some time! But come," he said, dismissing such matters with a wave of his hand, "we should see to readying you for the ride. Have you any needs in particular you know of?"
It was thus that Merry made his acquaintance with the smithy of Dunharrow, where, following Halbarad's instructions, he had his sword sharpened properly. Greta then went with him to the small chamber he and Pippin had shared to discover that Éowyn had sent up a small, round shield with a white horse upon it, a stiff leather jerkin that likely was meant to be a short jacket for a Man but which came down to Merry's shins, and an array of tough leather helms. "Where did she find these?" Merry wondered, as he tried one on.
"Likely from the stables," Greta replied. "They are for children, when first they learn to ride. The shield though—" and he hefted it, testing its make it seemed "—that I do not know."
Once Merry had decided which of the leather riding caps fit him best, the two of them departed to see to Greta's gear. They spent an hour oiling tack, sharpening Greta's weapons—and Merry, for some reason, found himself taken aback by the deadly array that this rather cheerful young man carried—and the Rider had showed him the sand barrels and how to clean chain mail. By the time they had got their rations filled by the sharp-eyed ladies of the keep, noon was nigh upon them.
And then there was nothing for it but to wait. For the first time since he had arrived among the Rohirrim, the hours seemed to drag by, as colorless and slow as the morning's fog, and they weighed on his spirit. Greta introduced him to his friends, though he was wise enough not to say that Merry would be riding with them. For his part, Merry found it was not difficult to pretend his gloom was due to disappointment that he would remain behind in Dunharrow. For missing a friend gone to war was easily misunderstood as missing a friend who had gone to war when he himself could not, and he found the Riders sympathetic to his imagined plight. A little too sympathetic, even, for they seemed alarmingly eager to try themselves in battle, and Merry had sometimes to bite his tongue.
But for the most part, he found himself between worry and boredom, too disheartened by Pippin's absence to pay much heed to the idle chatter of soldiers, and yet too weary with the waiting—all alone, as he felt it, despite the company of Greta and his friends—for even discouragement to prick sharp. He thought of all the long days walking with the Fellowship, and wondered why he had never noticed before just how long the miles were, and how empty the world seemed.
Not until late afternoon did aught break through the listlessness of his mood. The guards began crying out, and even Merry knew the words: Théoden cyning! A cheer went up among the waiting Riders, who abandoned their chores or their conversations and gathered to watch as the long lines of weary men and horses passed through the camp under the king's banner. Merry, however, could see nothing, short as he was, and after a few frustrated attempts to work his way to the front of the crowd, he surrendered and tugged Greta's hand. Greta glanced down at him, then considered the broad, armored backs of his countrymen, and shook his head.
"Nothing for it!" he shouted to Merry, and so saying, caught Merry up and swung him up onto his shoulders, like a father with a young son. Merry clutched wildly at the other's braids for balance, but Greta's hands on his knees were firm, and after a moment spent catching his breath, the hobbit gazed out over a sea of flaxen hair and bright helms, to the stream of Riders passing before him. Their tabards were stained, their faces dirty, and some bore the cracked remains of shields, but they held their heads high for all of that, clattering into Dunharrow under two banners: the royal emblem, white horse on green, and the other a white horn upon a red field.
Helm's Deep, and the long-delayed Westfold levies, had arrived at last.
But if Merry or anyone had expected that with the arrival of the final companies of Riders, they would leave immediately for Gondor, he was mistaken. For the companies of Helm's Deep and Westfold and the King's éored had fought too many battles and ridden hard with scarcely a rest. Blown mounts and men too dull-eyed with exhaustion to hold a line would do no one good, and so word went round the camp: tomorrow would be a rest day, and the day after, they would set out for Gondor.
For his part, Éomer was ambivalent about the delay. On the one hand, he chafed to be away after the grim council in Helm's Deep; on the other, seeing how stiff and exhausted his uncle was (and the effort it took to hide it), he could not but agree that a day off the road was needed. Still, he was uneasy and for all that he, too, was weary, he slept but fitfully that night, waking often with a start and a gasp, convinced he was falling or else drowning, 'til at last he threw aside the blankets and sat up in bed. The floor was cold beneath his feet, despite the warmth of the fire in the hearth, and Éomer leaned his elbows on his knees and hung his head, gazing tiredly at his hands through hair still damp and now rather stiff from a hasty wash ere he had gone to his (thus far not terribly restful) rest.
After a time spent counting horses in hopes of numbing mind and senses into a stupor, he sighed and gave up. Rising, he pulled on his shirt and a woolen tunic over that, jammed his feet into his boots, and left his room, pulling his hair into a messy braid as he went. It was not, he discovered, nearly so late as he had thought—the third watch of the night had not yet begun, and as he passed by the stairs that led down to the great hall, he could hear men's voices singing still.
But he did not pause to listen; instead, he made for the outer court, seeking his sister. For although they had spoken earlier that day, when the company had first arrived at Dunharrow, it had been a brief conversation before Éowyn had chased both him and Théoden away.
"You must see to the men and then rest; I will see to Dunharrow," she had said, and would hear no objections.
Which had left him uncertain how matters stood with her after the tumultuous events of the past eight days. It had been awkward, even cold, between them since the argument after the battle of Edoras. Wormtongue's poison was not so easily purged from them, it seemed, as from the kingdom itself, and his death had not improved matters. Yet Éomer had thought that afternoon that something had changed with her, though he could not find words for it. Supper had unfortunately placed him too far from her to try that perception, even had there not been too many listening ears, and weariness had sent him seeking his bed early. But it seemed that he was doomed to restlessness, and perhaps in part because he had not yet spoken with her, and so he went in search of her now, hoping for a word.
But he did not find Éowyn along the walls, nor upon the towers; she was not in the stables nor behind the kitchens. Frustrated and puzzled (and in fact, a little fearful), he finally made his way back to the great hall, up the stairs, and took the short corridor down to stand before his sister's door. There were no guards before her chamber, and he hesitated a moment ere he knocked gently, then stood back, fighting the urge to fidget like a guilty boy.
And he waited. And waited. And knocked again and frowned as fear grew stronger. Where is she? he wondered, and was about to leave to interrogate the guards at the end of the hall when the door opened, and there stood Éowyn, a shawl about her shoulders, blinking the sleep from her eyes still. "Éomer?" she murmured, her voice soft and confused. "What are you—never mind. Come in, please," she invited, stepping aside for him.
"I did not mean to wake you," Éomer said by way of apology as he obeyed that summons, and his sister closed the door behind him. The chamber beyond was dark, save for a candle she had set on a table near the door, and he quickly took it and moved about the room, lighting lamps while Éowyn got the bar into its brackets. When he had done, he turned and scrutinized her in the new candlelight. There were shadows beneath her eyes, her hair was unbound and rumpled, and beneath the shawl she wore only her nightshift. Her mouth seemed thin and tight as she gazed back at him, and it was with some concern that he said, "You were never one to retire so early."
"We are all weary, Éomer," Éowyn replied, clutching her shawl closer as she settled carefully into an overstuffed armchair.
"Is there no one with you?" he asked, frowning at the emptiness of her chambers. "You have not even anyone watching your door."
"I dismissed the maid for the evening, but there are guards at the end of the hall."
His frown deepened. "Is that wise?"
"Éomer," his sister sighed, and he protested quickly:
"I ask only after your safety, Éowyn."
"Then you need not fret over me, brother," she replied rather primly, impatience coloring her tone. "What have I left to fear for myself, after all?"
Blunt truth had ever been a weapon Éowyn could turn to her advantage, but in the later days of the court, with Gríma at the heart of the kingdom, it had grown rare and Éomer had found himself always two steps behind where his sister's well-being was concerned. Perhaps that was why it struck him so hard to hear it now, delivered so coldly and with a logic that could not but wound anew. Éomer flinched, and as he looked away, folded his arms over his chest, hugging himself against the shame he had carried since that morning in the dungeon.
In the silence, his sister sighed again, but then in a rustle of skirts, she stood suddenly before him, and rough hands cupped his face as she forced him to look at her. To his surprise, there was dismay in her eyes—not the simple contrition that usually mended their periodic quarrels, but a rather wrenching horror stared back at him, ere Éowyn laid her head on his shoulder as Éomer rather awkwardly gathered her into his arms, having no other choice as she leaned heavily against him. Her arms slipped about his neck, and her breath tickled as she murmured, "Forgive me. I should not speak so to you."
"Éowyn, I—" Words failed. Éomer swallowed hard, moved one hand up from her back to stroke her hair, tried again. "You were always the braver one of us," he husked. "A good thing, for I could never protect you as a brother should his sister." A pause, then fiercely: "I should have had you out of that hall years ago!"
"I would not have gone," Éowyn replied. "You know this."
Which, too, was truth, and left him feeling rather adrift and bewildered by what seemed the inevitability of it all and just—raw. He closed his eyes as he pressed his face against her hair, breathed in the scent of grass and her skin, and a faint whiff of lilac—their mother's favorite scent, and he wondered that he had never noticed her wearing it before. Then again, there is so much I have overlooked. So much we have overlooked," he amended, remembering his uncle's words to him.
Éowyn was shivering now. Her shawl lay where it had fallen when she had risen, pooled on the seat of the chair. So he walked her towards it, bent and retrieved it, then drew it about her shoulders. But despite that and her brother's arms about her, the shivers did not cease, but rather increased, and with a kind of wonderment, he felt hot tears dampen his shirt and the hollow of his throat.
"Éowyn?" he asked, amazed and rather at a loss at this quite unexpected turn. Yet at least he was free of his cage this time, and buoyed by that knowledge, he forced down panicky incomprehension and instead drew her down to sit nestled against him on the chair. "Dear one," he murmured, rocking her gently; "'Tis over. You are free of him now, free of all of it."
"But I am not," she protested, shaking her head vehemently, and drew away from him then to gaze up at him from red-rimmed eyes. "I thought I was, but it was no more true than Wormtongue's lies."
"He is dead, Éowyn—"
"Aye, and more fool me for thinking that to kill him would make an end of it," Éowyn interrupted bitterly, and bowed her head. "It but gave him reach beyond the grave—made me a murderer, a usurper of our uncle's judgment, and you and he liars for me!"
Éomer stared at her a moment, ere he reached to take one of her hands in both of his. The hand of a shieldmaiden did not sit soft in his, and he gently ran his fingertips over the sword-calluses, seeking some response. Finally: "What will you do?" he asked quietly.
"I spoke with Uncle earlier," she replied. "When the Muster rides, he will need a regent again. I have said I would stand for him in Dunharrow until he returned." She lifted her eyes once more. "A sword once sullied cannot regain its shine by spilling yet more blood. But perhaps keeping the law will at least wash it clean once more." She sighed, and laid her free hand atop his, squeezing firmly as she finished in a low voice, "And perhaps then I shall be free of him. 'T'would be good—I am weary of life in his shadow."
With that, she fell silent, but it was not the cold silence of previous days. Rather it was pensive, and in the flickering light, Éomer could see for the first time the hints of lines about her mouth, the slight squint to her eyes and the furrow to her brow, the marks that care had worn too early into her face and would but deepen with time. Of a sudden, he was seized by a vision of her—still in her white, but with her hair gone dull with grey and her face riddled with the seams of age and duty; the hand he held now was swollen and roughened with rheum and weather as she reached out to some unknown other. Her body was bent and her looks age-ravaged, and she was... radiant. There was no other word for her, even as the image faded and he found himself faced with but the beginnings of the long journey towards that day. A strange feeling took him, then, and moved, he slipped from her grasp to take her face in his hands as she had done to him not long before.
"Blessed be the bold that bend to serve, great in glory they that grow old in duty." So he spoke, and kissed her brow tenderly.
But Éowyn shook her head. "Make of me no Eldride, brother, for I would not have you be Eorl only to praise me above my worth!"
"I do not praise you overmuch, nor am I Eorl," he replied, as he drew her unresisting into his embrace once more.
"Good," she murmured as she resettled her head upon his shoulder. And she slipped a hand down to grasp his once more. And he, responding to the implicit request in that touch, sank back with her into the comfortable depths of the chair, and drew her shawl across both of them. Éowyn lay limp and warm in his arms, and as he held her, tucked beneath his chin, that odd feeling filled the hollow of his chest that grief and shame and rage had made. She had ever been fair to his eyes, and dearest to his heart, and now after the wreckage of so many lives, their own not least, seemed precious beyond telling...
"I love you," he whispered, and closed his eyes then. The silence of the room grew heavy, seeming to seep into his flesh, quieting his heart, stilling thought as oblivion crept in. Still: "I love you," he repeated.
And in the night at last, there came a reply: "Come home to me first, brother, and then you will speak true."
But Éomer made no answer—it seemed he slept already.
Nonetheless, the day after next, when the Riders stood ready to depart with the dawn, and Éowyn brought the stirrup-cup to uncle and brother, Éomer drained his portion and as he handed the cup back to her, said:
"Until our return. For I would not be a liar a second time." So saying, he kissed her cheek, then leapt into the saddle. "Take care of yourself, Éowyn!" And then, as the horns sang out, he was gone as the vanguard wheeled about for the road. Amid the crowd by the gates, Éowyn stood watching until at last the dust hanging in the air was all that was left to tell of the Muster of Rohan.
Then mustering her own spirits, she turned and in silence made her way through the ranks of the people who parted before her, their White Lady of the House of Eorl.
Make of me no Eldride, brother, for I would not have you be Eorl only to praise me above my worth!—Eldride is the completely uncanonical wife of Eorl. He obviously had one, so I just gave her a name and a fragment of a verse. The name itself means "wise counselor."

Number one !
Red if I've been recently fucked!
mine is two, but i wash it every day
Pink and puckered!
I hate it because it could be mistaken as unclean, which it never is when I hook up.
Very pink, and also ready

Well apparently small enough for anal bleaching not to be available.
I might be weird but I think its so hot when assholes are dark colored.

Flash usually exaggerates the color difference though.
What a great question! Hope it isn't too late to respond. I enjoyed reading all the responses... and viewing the pics submitted. In my case, the answer is #2. Dark is fun... and since I've dated a lot of Latino guys, that's been most usual. But pink is beautiful, too -- I am an equal-opportunity asshole admirer.
I have also noticed a correlation beween darker nipples and darker buttholes. Anyone else find that? Sometimes that includes darker cocks and ball sacs.
Keep up the research, boys! Fascinating!
I'm not sure either but I know its tight!
2. i love it being licked out before it gets fucked
It's a darker and red-rusty color than my ass, which is pale and smooth. I'm told I have native American Cherokee blood in my past and that might be the reason. who knows....
i've always thought that you could tell a guy's hole color by his lips &/or his nipples, and i also like to fantasize about the size of it by looking at a guy's bellybutton, you know if he's hairy around the bellybutton i'm imagining his hole beeing hairy too, or if his nipples are superpink his hole would be pink aswell
I think that's the general rule. White guys with pink nipples have pink holes, and white guys with dark nipples have dark holes. All other races have dark nipples, and thus dark holes.
The hole its self has no color, lol, the anus is kind of a rosy shade of pink.
well their all pink on the inside
Mauve after being fucked, taupe otherwise.

Thanks nublar7 for the great sig!
Yes. I take that statement back. Some thought it would be a good game.
I'm merely calling out everyone who thought it'd be an easy victory, looking ahead to Tampa Bay.
Some of you were logical, most were not.
I'm by no means saying the Bills are going anywhere this year, but crow is deserved in some cases.

The 12 Minor Prophets
Twelve "minor prophets" form one "book" concluding the Prophets, the middle section of the Hebrew Bible.
The "Twelve Minor Prophets" is the eighth and last "book" in the second section of the Hebrew Bible, the Nevi'im, or Prophets. It is, as its name implies, not a unified whole but a collection of 12 independent books, by (at least) 12 different prophets.�
"Minor" refers not to their importance but to their length: All were considered important enough to enter the Hebrew Bible, but none was long enough to form an independent book. One of these, Obadiah, is only a single chapter long, and the longest (Hosea and Zechariah) are each 14 chapters. They range in time from Hosea and Amos, both of whom date to the middle of the eighth century B.C.E. ,to parts of the books of Zechariah and Malachi, which are probably from the beginning of the fourth century B.C.E.
One theme that unifies the 12 prophets is Israel's relationship with God. What does God demand of humans? How do historical events signify God's word? These are questions that appear throughout Biblical prophecy. But nowhere in the Bible does a single book present as wide a variety of views on these subjects as does the collection of the Twelve Minor Prophets. Even within a single time period, there is a remarkable diversity of views.
Hosea and Amos
Both Hosea and Amos were composed in the second half of the eighth century, in the Northern Kingdom of Israel. The king of Israel from approximately 790 to 750 B.C.E. was Jeroboam II (son of Joash), who built Israel into a wealthy trading empire by controlling the trade routes to Damascus on both sides of the Jordan. In response to this, Amos focused in his prophecies on the economic disparities created by Israel's newfound wealth, criticizing the wealthy Israelites' lack of concern for the fate of the poor. He castigated those who "lie on beds of ivory, sprawled on their couches, eating the fattest of sheep and cattle from the stalls who drink from wine bowls, and anoint themselves with the choicest oils, but are not concerned about the ruin of (the House of) Joseph." (Amos 6:4-6).� ("Joseph" is one term used to refer to the Northern Kingdom.)
In contrast, Hosea focused on the theme of Israel's loyalty to God. The new wealth and new openness to foreign trade created, in Hosea's view, other forces threatening Israel's exclusive loyalty to God. One such force is the influence of Assyria: "Ephraim (i.e. the Kingdom of Israel, centered around the inheritance of the tribe of Ephraim) went to Assyria and sent embassies to the "great king," but he cannot heal you, nor can he remove your hurt." (Hosea 5:13) Hosea describes God as longing for the day when Israel will declare "Let us return to God, for He attacked us but will heal us, smote us, but will bandage us...we will know, no, rather we will run quickly to know God" (Hosea 6:1-3).
The next of the Minor Prophets, working historically, was Micah, who prophesied at the end of the eighth century in Judah, the Southern Kingdom. He was active at the same time as Isaiah, whose prophecies are recorded in first part of the long Biblical book bearing this name. During this time period, the Assyrian empire threatened to conquer Judah, and here we encounter a difference of views and emphases between prophets of the same period. Micah was a practical and national thinker; Isaiah had a more universal vision. Whereas Isaiah's vision of the End of Days is universal, ending with the famous sentence "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore" (Isaiah 2:4), Micah adopts but changes this vision, adding two sentences that focus particularly on the nation of Judah: "Each man shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, with no one to make him afraid, for thus has the mouth of the Lord God of Hosts spoken. For though all the nations will go in the name of their individual god, we will walk in the name of the Lord our God forever"� (Micah 4:4-5).

Wow, the month of March has snuck up on me. Between starting a new job and the less-than-ideal weather, time has flown and it's hard to believe that spring is (theoretically) almost upon us. Like last year, I want to share with you some of the recent recipes on my blog that are Passover friendly. Here goes…
Main Courses:
- Moroccan brisket with olives and preserved lemons (just make it without couscous)- Anna Sortun's Spoon Lamb
- Tomato and Onion Braised Brisket- Pomegranate Chicken
- Onion soup – make it without the bread (try matzah instead), with or without cheese
Sides and Salads:
- Eggplant spread with tomatoes (it looks gross, but tastes great)
- Spinach salad with beets and grapefruit
- Vic's salad- Feta watermelon salad
- Yellow (or green) beans with hazelnuts – just use whatever oil you have if you can't find hazelnut
- Quinoa with persimmon, pomegranate, and walnuts – use the dressing and try other available fruits
- Amaretti (almond) cookies; Gianduia (chocolate hazelnut) cookies

Survey on Youth HIV Care
Trinidad and Tobago, 1st October, 2012. The World Health Organization, headquarters and regional offices are developing international guidelines on health care for young people living with HIV. We believe it is very important that the voices of young people living with HIV be included in the development of these guidelines.
We have been approached to actively participate in all the preliminary activities related to this task. As part of this development, the WHO Guideline Review Committee encourages consultation with different stakeholders, including end-users of interventions.
To facilitate the inclusion of the voices of young people living with HIV (10-24 years old) from the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region, one of the activities is an anonymous online survey that will focus on the health care of this group. The survey is now online in Spanish, English and French. Please use your different contacts and networks to send this information to all health provider, health facilities, youth organizations and representations from the LAC region. Thank you for your collaboration.

Phoronix: Mir Code Moves Along, Branches Begin Appearing
There's code being committed to the new Mir Display Server every few hours. There's also numerous Bazaar code branches appearing too that show early work on other functionality...
For the moment, it looks like they put their money where their mouth is.
Good for them. Let see what they come up with.
P.S. If someone comes here and tries to argue with me over my opinion, I swear to god I'm going to track him or her down and make them eat a meat pie made with thier own loved ones.....
The problem is communicating that to a client at the appropriate time, its a synchronization problem. Its better to just let the client control their buffersize because they know what it should be. And thats actually whats being done in DRI3(000). DRI I think had client-side buffers, DRI2 moved it to the server, and now DRI3(000) is putting it back to the clients because it was actually the better idea.
If Mir can pull it off in a timely, efficient, and correct manner...good for them. But Wayland has a biiiiiiiig headstart, meanwhile Mir has some of the hardest issues to handle still ahead of them.
"Hi we are Ubuntu and now you can develop for both desktop and mobile at once with Mir!"

No patina, but how do you keep your carbon from getting a patina? Some say flitz,
No patina, but how do you keep your carbon from getting a patina? Some say flitz,
never let the knife gain patina. it shows that you do not care for your tools enough!
"A recipe has no soul. You as the cook must bring soul to the recipe." -Thomas Keller
Not a huge fan of patina, however if I had to choose between natural vs forced patina, I would choose natural.
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Should I really remove the patina from my Hiromoto's?? And Dave's etching as an example of poor care??
If you dislike patina, maybe stainless is for you. IMO not all patina is created equal. A well-established patina on a monosteel hagane knife is a lot different to someone's "orange patina" on their soft iron-clad san mai.
A clean, shiny, highly polished carbon blade is beautiful. But I like using my blades in all situations and never want to have to switch to stainless. Try processing a case of pineapple without patina and your nose will cry bloody murder. There is no way around it that I know of.
Long live Carbon!!

When the dot-com bubble burst 10 years ago, the ensuing collapse wiped out half of all online retailers. Today, e-commerce is well established and much digital retailing is now highly profitable. As it evolves, digital retailing is quickly morphing into something so different that it requires a new name: omnichannel retailing. The name reflects the fact that retailers will be able to interact with customers through countless channels--websites, physical stores, kiosks, direct mail and catalogs, call centers, social media, mobile devices, gaming consoles, televisions, networked appliances, home services, and more. If traditional retailers hope to survive, they must embrace omnichannel retailing and also transform the one big feature Internet retailers lack--stores--from a liability into an asset. They must turn shopping into an entertaining, exciting, and emotionally engaging experience by skillfully blending the physical with the digital. They must also hire new kinds of talent, move away from outdated measures of success, and become adept at rapid test-and-learn methodologies. A successful omnichannel strategy should not only guarantee a retailer's survival--no small matter in today's environment--but also deliver a revolution in customers' expectations and experiences.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Metal band Kylesa, pronounced Ky-less-ah, will be one of over 100 artists performing at the two-day Summer Fest 3 at Eleanor Tinsley Park in Houston. Watch the band on the Budweiser Stage on June 5 at 2:20 p.m.
The five-piece band from Savannah, Ga., formed in 2001 and have released five studio albums including their latest, Spiral Shadow. The record has received high praises from Metacritic.com giving it the highest rated metal album of 2010.
Not many know, but Joe Nichols had a very tough decision to make as a teenager in high school — continue to play baseball and become the best baseball player he could be or go down the path of music. Apparently, it was the right one.
Born and raised in Rogers, Ark., Nichols, now 34, signed his first independent record contract at 20, but after several years of hard work, Nichols upgraded his status by signing with Universal Records, now Show Dog-Universal Music, and releasing Man with a Memory in 2002.
West Coast rockers Lit are back and seem to be better than ever. The band that brought our ears the giant hits "My Own Worst Enemy" and "Miserable" are in the midst of releasing a new material for the first time in more than seven years.
It's been seven long years since punk legends Social Distortion have put out a new record, and according to sales and popularity, the SoCal veterans remain strong as ever.The new album Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes on Epitaph Records was released in January and debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard charts, which gave the group their first-ever Top 10 album.
Classic rock icon Kansas will take the stage at Nutty Jerry's in Winnie on Friday, April 22 with doors opening at 7 p.m. Advance tickets are $33 and can be purchased online at nuttyjerrys.com, charge by phone at (877) 643-7508 or at the facility.
Three of the original members still remain with the group including Phil Ehart (drums), Steve Walsh (vocals, keyboard) and Rich Williams (lead guitar) and other members include Billy Greer (bass), who joined Kansas in 1986, and David Ragsdale (violin).
If you've never heard nor seen Sevendust, then you don't know rock music. The five-piece band from Atlanta has been throwing down since their self-titled first release in 1997.
While bands struggle to continue to keep their heads above water, it's the polar opposite with this band. It may be cliché to compare Sevendust to an aged fine wine, but it seems this band continues to get stronger and gain more popularity with age (if they weren't good and popular already).
The Nuge is an avid hunter, advocate for groups such as the National Rifle Association and the right to bear arms. He's joined the ranks of the New York Times Bestseller list with the 2000 publication God, Guns and Rock 'N' Roll.
Despite what they see on television, those cannot deny the fact that a career, which basically began in 1958, has led Ted Nugent to sell over 40 million records thanks to hits like "Strangehold," "Dog Eat Dog," "Free-for-All" and the 1977 classic "Cat Scratch Fever."
Despite just three albums under their belts, Theory of a Deadman are no longer rookies of the music industry. Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, the three-some, which includes Tyler Connolly (vocals/guitar), David Brenner (guitar) and Dean Beck (bass) have just put the finishing touches on their upcoming untitled fourth album on Roadrunner Records.
The band saw success with their first two records, Theory of a Deadman and Gasoline, but it was their third album in 2008 that got the Theory train rolling — Scars & Souvenirs.
Many musicians have had songs hit No. 1 on their respected music charts, but there aren't many that can claim that they've had three consecutive No. 1 singles, especially in country music.
Chris Young can.
From Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Young watched "Gettin' You Home (The Black Dress Song)," "The Man I Want to Be" and "Voices" climb the country charts to the top spot and all were off his sophomore album The Man I Want to Be.
Jesse Hasek is one of the most creative and intellectual people you will ever meet. Though his name may not ring an instant bell, his voice and work does the job. The Knoxville, Tennessee native is the vocalist for Universal Republic recording artist 10 Years that have released several singles including "Through the Iris," "Beautiful," "So Long, Good-Bye," "Actions & Motives" and "Wasteland," which reached atop of the alternative rock chart.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

The American Ireland Fund will host its 21st Annual National Gala on Monday evening, March 18, 2013 featuring a keynote address by An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, T.D., Prime Minister of Ireland.
At the evening's Gala, over 750 influential American and Irish political and corporate leaders will gather at the event to honor U.S. Senator Patrick Toomey (R-PA) and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) as they are presented with the 2013 American Ireland Fund Leadership Award. In addition, Ambassador Daniel Rooney (former United States Ambassador to Ireland) and Ambassador Michael Collins (Ambassador of Ireland to the United States) will receive The American Ireland Fund Public Service Award for their contributions to Ireland and Irish-America. In attendance will be Gala Chair Mark H. Tuohey and Honorary Chairs of the Gala: Sir Peter Westmacott, British Ambassador to U.S.; Hon. Peter T. King and Hon. Richard E. Neal. A special musical performance will feature Sir. James Galway.
Kieran McLoughlin, President & CEO of The Worldwide Ireland Funds said, "Over the last two weeks, starting in Chicago and culminating tonight in Washington DC, our supporters have turned out in force and with great generosity. As a result, our Promising Ireland Campaign is on track to reach its revised goal of $140 million for hundreds of Irish charities in need. At a still-difficult time in the US, it is remarkable how our donors are responding and willing to play their part in aiding Ireland's recovery."
As St. Patrick's Day is celebrated around the world, The Worldwide Ireland Funds are holding events in 13 cities across 5 countries attended by over 6,000 supporters. March 18 also marks a milestone in the transition of leadership of The American Ireland Fund.
At a Board meeting of The American Ireland Fund held on March 18, John Fitzpatrick, President and CEO of the Fitzpatrick Hotel Group, North America was officially confirmed as the organization's next Chairman.
He will assume the role in 2014 when current Chairman Loretta Brennan Glucksman steps down.

It's something we all do and, according to recent studies, most of us do it 11 times a week. This frequently practiced act is the act of lying. Lying is almost universally unavoidable as humans living within close proximity and contact with others. While we all do it, we rationalize away our own personal pack of lies we peddle to others, yet lose all semblance of civility if someone lies to us. Some researchers at Notre Dame University hypothesized that such emotional mood swings and … [Read more...]

Pro-tip: Fire up OpenOffice and mySQL on Kubuntu and you can be gang CLA-raped.
And you don't want openCL for everything-- the GUI should be done on the GPU since thats GRAPHICS, and the actual code should be done on the CPU. 2 processors doing 2 different things means neither one can lock up the other.
I see two drawbacks here:
1. It needs a OpenGL capable GPU and(or) a driver doing as well.
2. For now it is pure eyecandy which is nice but will this increase my personal experience, my work performance, KDE's performance, usability, stability? Will it interfere with other GPU hogs?

Faxion Online
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Faxion Online is a 3D fantasy MMORPG with combat driven gameplay and a heavy emphasis on PvP. Fight on the side of Heaven or Hell in the epic struggle between Good and Evil. Faxion Online has multiple methods of progression and promises to reward player skill rather than grinding.
Publisher: UTV True Games
Playerbase: Low
Graphics: Medium Quality
Type: MMORPG
EXP Rate: Medium
PvP: Battlegrounds / Duels
Filesize: 1.4 GB
Pros: +Competitive PvP system. +Fight for control of territory. +Action oriented gameplay. +Multi-classing. +Unique environments.
Cons: -Combat feels a bit slow paced.
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Faxion Online Overview
Faxion Online pits the armies of Heaven and Hell against each other for control over Limbo, the territory that exists between them. Players will be able to join the side of Good or Evil in the struggle for control over various regions, each named after one of the seven deadly sins. Faxion Online promises action driven combat, and a heavy emphasis on PvP. The production team includes people who worked on Ultima Online and Shadowbane so expectations are high. Faxion is being developed as a full feature MMORPG, so expect ample PvE content, an expansive backstory and lore, and a wide range of environments to explore and monsters to slay. The game hopes to use a novel progression system which moves away from the typical grind based 'stand and fight' model. Offline advancement and multi-classing will help ensure the most skilled player comes out ahead, not the one that put in the most time.

Faxion Online Review
By Ange Perdu
Faxion Online is a 3D fantasy themed MMORPG set in the hereafter. Heroes choose their own fate in this game. Fight for the forces of Heaven or Hell in the eternal battle between Good and Evil. Explore the various realms of Limbo based on the seven deadly sins. Slay thousands of grotesque monsters and participate in challenging PvP combat as players struggle for territorial control. Earn a pair of wings for convenient commuting. Use magical spells and an arsenal of blessed or cursed weapons to destroy enemies. Only the worthy will prevail. In this life after death adventure players can introduce others to salvation or a world of pain and misery.
Heaven or Hell, the Gameplay
Most of the gameplay in Faxion Online involves completing quests and fighting others in random PvP brawls. Players start out in a celestial Heaven or a fire and brimstone infused Hell for a brief tutorial. Once completed all heroes regardless of their faction must enter Purgatory. NPCs also referred to as quest givers are stationed throughout the zone assigning various missions to willing heroes. These assignments vary from traditional RPG tasks to a few innovative quests that follow the cinematic storyline. Kill heretic charlatans, collect orbs of essence, gather wand components, deliver important packages to distant NPCs, or find Nero the Red Bat and bow down to worship him. Many of the retrieval missions require players to slay monsters. Kill ferocious hounds, giant ogres, zombies, and derelicts. As heroes travels further in the realms of Limbo they'll encounter more challenging beasts to battle. A quick double click initiates a fight. Players can perform different martial skills or spells using their hotkey bar. During combat creatures are able to call for reinforcements summoning swarms to assist in the attack. Slaying monsters and accomplishing quests will earn XP along with gold. Occasionally players receive rare equipment or large loots. Much like Ultima Online the game's world is massive. It can take hours to trek back and forth to NPCs in faraway regions. Movement in the game is also bit tedious. There's no auto-walk so players have to run manually using the designated WASD keys until they level up enough to acquire wings.
Ganked Beyond Purgatory
The entire game is a PvP free-for-all beyond the gates of Purgatory. There are no level restrictions. Any player can go on a random killing spree or repeatedly gank others for fun. Fight heavenly crusaders or wicked occultists using a variety of skills. Each hero has a book of abilities enabling them to train in several distinct categories to increase the power of each move. The training process is somewhat time consuming but well worth it since Faxion has a visceral combat system. During PvP battles certain skills like the Miasma delivers a wave of energy to send an opponent into a state of confusion. Instead of stumbling a few steps the victim's screen flips upside down making it difficult to recover. As players advance they can spend points on class specific spells and slowly move up their character's skill tree to more devastating maneuvers. Master the Soul Leech, Death Blossom, Vanish, Shockwave, Torment, Ignite, Exorcise, and the Final Judgment. Each skill has its own unique animation as well. Blast fireballs, excrete a cloud of poison, or summon chaotic flames to consume foes.
The Infamous Bible Thumper
One of the best features in Faxion Online is the wide selection of weaponry. The game maintains its theme of Good versus Evil with unusual yet very cool renditions of traditional artillery. Every item is either blessed or cursed depending on the faction.
Equip heroes with the Death Staff of Faith, the mighty Severance, Head-Cleaver or Scythe of Striking, Smasher of Fortitude, Barbed Pike, Ancient Staff of Knowledge, Spear of Longinus, Myrddin's Great staff, Ripsaw, Great Hammer, Gnarled Staff of Faith, Halberd, Ball Mace, Dungeon Master, Broadsword, Cranium Crusher, Graven Bone, First of David, Surgeon's Edge, and the Witch's Blade. There's plenty to choose from similar to Gates of Andaron. My personal favorite is the Bible Thumper. It's a staff with a scrunched up bible attached at the tip that players can use to smack others around. The small doses of humor and originality of the weapons adds to its appeal. Most of the arms are available for in-game gold at the vendor shops.
Demon Wings & More
There are regular vendors and token based shops in the world of Limbo. Both feature a large assortment of items available depending on a character's stats and level. Common vendors carry standard armor in the form of pauldrons, sleeves, gloves, helmets, belts, leggings, and boots. Food, potions, and jewelry are also sold. Players can buy the Golden Apple to boost strength and aid in health regeneration or Freshly Baked Devils Food Cake to improve the body and focus while enhancing health. Simple drinks like Cider provide spirit rejuvenation while advanced concoctions such as the Immaculate Ambrosia increases intelligence, wisdom, and spirit stats. Female characters can purchase the Bead Choker of Strength, Talisman of Holy Resistance, or Gemstone Ring of Wisdom from shops as well. Token vendors sell specialty items that cost hard to attain tokens. Most players will have to spend actual money to get enough of them to buy equipment. It's almost worth it. There are some really cool items like the Scroll of Superior Insight, Herald Shield of Endurance, Zweihand of Striking, Dread Knight's Armor, and Shoftrel's Raiment. Buy angelic or demonic wings that enable heroes to glide instead of manually walking to destination once they reach level 20. They come in pink, black, white, or red. Faxion Online also features colored bunny costumes. Although it's a bit weird for demons or angels to be walking around with brightly colored bunny ears attached to their head it's an option.
Final Verdict: Good
Faxion Online is a solid fantasy MMORPG that's downright addictive. Players are transported into a surprisingly realistic-looking afterlife where a war is raging between two dominions. Fight for the guardians of everything righteous or sinister demons. Slay hordes of heinous creatures, battle others, and tackle hundreds of quests. Choose from a large assortment of weapons or master spells. Comparable to Ultima Online or Shadowbane heroes have a massive world to explore. The combination of the seven deadly sins, Heaven, Hell, and dark humor makes this game thoroughly entertaining. Although the competitive PvP combat may not be for everyone players that enjoy torturing others will relish in their hellion ambushes. The unique gameplay and skill progression makes this title definitely worth checking out.

The City of Alexandria's Potomac Yard Metrorail Implementation Group (PYMIG) will hold a meeting on Monday, June 10, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at City Hall (301 King St.) in the Council Workroom. The public is invited to the meeting to learn about the proposed Potomac Yard Metrorail Station, the environmental planning process, and the station alternatives that are being proposed.
The City of Alexandria starts construction on the first segment of the Crystal City/Potomac Yard Transitway Tuesday, July 31, 2012. The project will upgrade a 0.8 mile segment of Route 1 between Potomac Avenue and East Glebe Road to include dedicated transit-only lanes, signal prioritization for transit, and enhanced passenger amenities. The project is part of a five-mile planned transit corridor between Braddock Road and Pentagon City Metrorail stations. The project is being delivered as part of a design-build contract, scheduled for completion in December 2013. Initially, Route 1 Transitway will offer higher frequency and more reliable service, as well as additional transit capacity. The project supports the City's Eco-City Alexandria initiative by providing residents, workers and visitors alternatives to single occupancy vehicles.
Route 1 Transitway Stations Design Concept Public Meeting was held on June 14, 2012 at Cora Kelly Recreation Center Gym. The meeting focused on the vertical elements of the station including the shelter, fare collection devices, next bus technology, benches, trash receptacles, etc, and allow for public input into the location of items as well as the look and feel of the Bus Rapid Transit Stations on Route 1 between Potomac Avenue and East Glebe Road. An update on the BRT design and construction was also given.
Several transportation projects related to bus rapid transit and improvements for pedestrian, bicyclist, and motorist connections are underway in the Potomac Yard Development area.

Phoronix: X.Org Server 1.14 Feature Window Closing
The X.Org Server 1.14 merge window will soon be closing with this next xorg-server release being expected in March...
Sucks that Xwayland hasn't landed.
im a confident that most big distros will use xwayland by this time next year. this would make conversion a non-issue as most apps would gradually switch over to wayland, while others still run in x.
My wish is for glamor to be finally fixed so there's at least the chance to test PRIME on a southern islands card.
I have tried to find a commit version where prime is already submitted and glamor still works but it seems there is none. With the commit that introduced prime x.org doesn't compile and by the time some patches make it work again glamor doesn't work anymore.
Come on, AMD. You decided to go with glamor only, you should try to make it work without lagging 3+ months behind...
The article is dead wrong about hybrid graphics suppport.
Looks like SI + Glamor is working now if you're willing to build mesa/drm/etc yourself.
Edit: And looking at the handle of who I'm replying to, I have full confidence that you'll manage
And he doesn't really say that it works on X.org >=1.13, does he? Glamor on radeon had some problems, mainly with colors on window decoration and some gtk features, maybe he just means that the rendering is now fully correct.

Foreigner's Lou Gramm Recalls Brain Tumor Horror
Monday, May 13, 2013
Just published is Juke Box Hero: My Five Decades In Rock N' Roll by original Foreigner frontman and co-founder, Lou Gramm. The book, which is co-written by Scott Pitoniak, deals with Gramm's early life growing up in the 1960's in Rochester, New York, his platinum selling songwriting collaboration with Foreigner co-founding guitarist Mick Jones, the band's meteoric '70s and '80s success -- not to mention Gramm and Jones' often prickly relationship throughout the decades. Gramm also discusses his successful battle with substance abuse and near fatal brain tumor in 1997.
Lou Gramm shed some light on the tumor that threatened to permanently derail his career and possibly kill him: "It was a non-cancerous tumor, but it was the size of a large egg and it was in my frontal lobe and it had tentacles wrapped around my pituitary and optic nerve."
We asked Gramm how he first realized that something was critically wrong with him: "I started getting incredible headaches -- worse than any hangover I'd ever had. My long and short-term memory started to become spotty, and my eyes would cross once in a while. And I went for an MRI and they said it was a large tumor, the size of an egg and that it had been there since birth, growing."
Lou Gramm will next perform on June 15th in Lloydminster, Canada at the Border Bike Rally.
