Red Curry Shrimp Dumplings
I love shrimp and all sorts of Chinese dumplings made with shrimp, for example: har gow, shrimp and chive dumplings, etc. However, whenever I make dumplings, I have always made them the traditional Chinese way. I chanced upon a Thai-flavored red curry shrimp dumpling recipe in one of the food magazines a while ago and that left a lasting impression. I love Thai food and always enjoy the exotic flavors of spices and heat of chilies, so these red curry shrimp dumplings immediately won my heart—and stomach—over. There is nothing not to love about them: briny shrimp with a tint of heat, aroma, and spices from the red curry paste. The use of fish sauce adds extra umami to the already delicious shrimp filling, and the chopped cilantro leaves complete the whole package as some of the best shrimp dumplings I have had.
There are a few brands of Thai red curry paste available in the market here in the US. Both Mae Ploy and Maesri brand are good, and I like them both. But if I had a choice, I would always buy Maesri because they have a smaller 4 oz can which is economical and you don't have to buy a big tub and end up using only some of it. For the shape of the dumplings, you can make them into a half-moon shape, which is the easiest way of making dumplings, but I took the effort to make them into a parcel, which is not that much harder to make. They just look prettier and neat. Regardless of the shape, they are still tasty and mouthwatering.
For the cooking part, I simply boiled the red curry shrimp dumplings and eat them. You can also pan-fry or steam them if you like. Dumplings are so versatile and a pan-fried version or steamed version will be different in texture from the boiled dumplings. Ultimately, how you want to cook them is up to you, but be rest assured, they are always scrumptious whichever you serve them.
Here is my red curry shrimp dumpling recipe. They can be made ahead, and you can freeze them if you like. Before cooking, just thaw them at room temperature. Enjoy!

And that is why I enjoy visiting your blog. Your insight in rejuvenating done-to-death recipes with fresh flavours is amazingly spot on. Will let you know how they turn out :D
What an amazing receipe! I can't wait to try this with my students! I just wish my dumplings looked as nice as yours. Oh well, they'll taste nice anyways : )
In a recipe I expect to be told how to make the various items not to go out and buy them. I might as well just go and buy the ready-made dumplings.
i want to know hw to make dumpling wrappers at home can u pls give me the receipe
What type of dipping sauce did you use?
These sound absolutely delicious! Can you please suggest how much egg white to use? Half a teaspoon, or half the egg white, or something in between? Thanks, love your blog!
Sorry I am late to the party – I usually try your recipes as quickly as you post them. In this case – I was visiting friends and missed this. These are so tasty, and easy to make. I will check more often now as I have never been disappointed with anything I made from your posted recipes. By the way, the red curry paste comes in handy for a lot of recipes.
Thanks again for the great ideas.

Hi every body
i want to use in-app purchasing in my application and i want to know how can i activate payment by operatore billing i have only payment by card
thanks in advance
It should be transparent to you as an application developer. Availability depends on the country and Nokia's agreements with operators in that particular country. In other words, operator billing is not available everywhere (every country) and with every network operator (in those countries).

Hi ,
our apps target markets include Egypt were they do have Operator Billing.
How can we simulate from where we are (Morocco) a behavior of someone in Egypt using IAP with Operator Billing ?
If you are using test mode, that probably works with a fixed 'offering'.
If you mean you have your application in the Store already, roaming with a SIM card from Egypt and using an account registered to Egypt may provide the same behaviour even if you are in Morocco or anywhere else.
Are you experiencing some particular problem (or have it reported by your users in Egypt)? Because in that case describing the problem itself may lead to a solution faster.
in general you do not need to care of teh billing mode, its handled by the API and the logic parts of your application should behave just the same with both CC & OB
thanks for your answers
for my application i still in the development phase and i just want to test the both method
i have anther question about the IAP how to activate (or to use ) the test mode
thanks again
Reading the documentation could be a good starting point.

Cursed Queen of Angmar, The: 47. Wedding Night
"I thought you would be done by now." Ferion, clean for once, stalked about the room.
Ariashal leisurely tied back her hair. "I told you that I have been unwell. And I will look my best tonight, despite everything that I have endured."
"Endured?" Ferion laughed. "What have you had to endure? You have been freed from that evil thing you called husband. You no longer need live in the frozen north. You will stay here, and be wed to a living man."
"He was my husband." She caught herself before saying too much. "And I miss my children."
"You will have more children soon enough." He crossed to the window. "Damn, woman! Why must you tarry so? It is after nightfall."
"I will not have it said that I did not look a Queen." She adjusted the glittering sun necklace. The deep blue of the jewel contrasted nicely with the rich burgundy of her dress. The only fancy chemise she had was also a dark blue; it picked up the color of the jeweled sun. She looked to see that her earrings were properly hung. "And it is much more difficult to prepare for this alone."
"I could not find a woman to your liking!"
"No, you could not," she agreed. There was no way that she would have taken any of the miserable, filthy creatures that called themselves women as her helper. She found that she much preferred doing it herself. It gave her a sense of confidence, and even superiority. "I am Queen. I deserve fine ladies as my servants, not common whores and tavern wenches."
"My men like them well enough."
"I am not one of your men."
"How much longer will you be?"
She thought for a moment. What she wished to say would only anger him further, and in any event she would not be believed. After a moment's deliberations, she smiled. "I think I am almost prepared. There are some things which I need to do in private, so if you would be so kind as to leave, I will be able to finish."
"Perhaps I should stay."
Her eyes met his.
"Ferion," she began, her voice level, "I am unwell. I will not do anything so intimate with you in the room."
"Very well. But do not take all night!" He left, slamming the door shut behind him.
She waited, listening while he spoke with the guards before leaving. Once his footfalls died away, she raced to the secret panel. It took a moment for her to spring the latch. Seizing a candle, she slipped silently down the spiral stair.
"My lord?" she called out.
Uneasy, she checked the room. His bed was there, along with the almost-empty basket of food and the spent candle. The door to the tombs was open, and a slight breeze, scented with death, blew into the room. She sheltered her candle before it too died.
He was not here. He must have gone on to prepare the next part of the spell. She was not certain if this was a good thing or not. What if she went with Ferion, and the King was not yet ready? What if he had fallen ill while rousing the dead? What if they had tried to overpower him, and drag him into their world?
Stop this, she warned herself. It will help nothing to panic. After a moment, she turned and retraced her steps, careful to close the door behind her. She quickly dusted the bits of cobwebs from her sleeves, checked her hair for dust, and straightened her gown. She was as ready as she was ever going to be. All she could do now was go forth, and trust that the Witch-king would not fail.
"Open the door," she commanded.
The guards escorted her to Ferion's quarters, where he was impatiently drumming his fingers on his table. He jumped to his feet as soon as she approached. "It took you long enough," he growled. "Armendil is anxious to marry you."
"He can wait a little longer." She gave him her hand.
"What is this?" demanded Ferion. "How did you get dust and cobwebs on your back?"
Ariashal froze, mind racing. What could she say?
"I--dropped something, and had to fetch it."
"Stand still." Roughly he swept the last of the dust from her shoulders. "There. Now you are presentable. Come on. The men are waiting."
Hand in hand, they made their way down the Keep's corridors. There were only a few men about; all the others must already be down, waiting for the marriage to take place. She and Ferion descended the wide stairs that she had only recently climbed with the King. How different they were now! Stripped of the fine carpets brought from Angmar, with only a few crude torches to illuminate them, they seemed to be the stairs of a dungeon instead of a royal Keep. The constant pressure of Ferion's hand on her own only served to reinforce the impression of impending imprisonment.
At the base of the stairs they paused, while Ferion adjusted his tunic. One of the guards handed him his crown, a rather florid, ostentatious gold band inlaid with garnets that glinted in the light. It did not quite seem to fit Ferion. Or, rather, he was so unaccustomed to it that it did not sit him well. Ariashal wondered how much of Angmar's gold had been squandered on the ugly crown.
"Come on," he snarled, pulling her hand. "The men are impatient."
At a nod from him, the guards pushed open the heavy doors.
Inside, the great hall had been prepared for a feast. Tables lined the walls, and men had already taken their seats. Other tables were arranged towards the middle of the room, set aside to accommodate the lesser guests. Several musicians clustered near one wall, tuning their instruments. A fire blazed in the center of the room, although the evening was not even particularly cool. Someone had tried to make the room seem festive by hanging boughs and flowers along the walls; but the drooping branches and wilting blooms did nothing to lighten the overall mood.
The appearance of Ferion and Ariashal set off a wild, raucous chorus of cheers from the men. From the sounds and smells that filled the air, Ariashal knew that most of the men had been drinking, and had probably been doing so for the better part of the day. That would make the King's task easier. Cheered at the thought, she smiled.
Armendil sat at the head table, his prince's coronet gleaming in the light. Unlike Ferion, he wore a colorful tunic--green and yellow, trimmed with gold. There were two men at his right, similarly attired; they must be his brothers, arrived just recently from Cardolan. At the sight of Ariashal they nudged him, whispering something which brought them to gales of laughter. She suspected that she was the cause of their merriment. Laugh away, she thought as she approached them. Enjoy this farce while you may.
Armendil half-rose, half-staggered to his feet. He smiled at her. The reek of alcohol billowed from him.
"Armendil, Prince of Cardolan," began Ferion, "may I present your wife, Ariashal, Princess of Rhudaur."
"Princess," Armendil slurred, "Come over here and you can sit with me." He gave her a long, appraising look. "We can just forget this feast if you want, and go right to bed. We can even do it here!"
Shocked, Ariashal hesitated. She had no desired to be pawed by this drunkard, certainly not in front of these people.
"Stop it!" For once, Ferion came to her aid. "This is a feast, Armendil, and you will treat my sister with respect!"
Armendil looked at him; to Ariashal it seemed as if he was having trouble focusing his gaze. "Very well, Ferion, we will--we can sit here until dinner is over. Then--" he winked at Ariashal--
"we can go have some fun."
Ferion seated himself next to her, staring savagely at Armendil all the while. It heartened her to know that the allies were barely civil with each other. In a perverse way, it pleased her not a little to know that she was the cause of the friction. If she were actually going to live with Armendil, it would make for a miserable life; but since she was not going anywhere, it would make no difference to her. All she had to do was get through dinner without being fondled by Armendil, and go home with her King.
The little group of musicians struck up a ballad. Soon the room was a cacophony of clanging goblets, forks striking pewter plates, shouted jokes, drunken attempts to follow the lyrics of the songs. Armendil tried to tell her some story, his voice thick and sloppy from drink; it was made all the more disgusting by his mouthful of half-chewed meat.
Ariashal picked at the food before her. Knowing her brother, it was probably drugged somehow; and the last thing she wanted was to be sleepy when the King arrived. She resorted to the tried and true method of simply pushing the meats and vegetables around the plate with her fork, hoping that her companions were too drunk to notice her lack of appetite.
The evening brought back some unpleasant memories. It was like almost every other one of her wedding feasts--bawdy, raucous songs; a groom who was merrily drinking himself into oblivion; and her family, hoping that this time she would go away, and manage to not end up killing her husband. Of course, Ferion was counting on her to do just that. How could he so cynically pour wine for Armendil, when in reality he knew that he might as well be pouring poison?
It was not like Carn Dum, where both the wedding and the feast had been conducted with a modicum of dignity. The biggest difference was the King; he would not tolerate the sort of behavior that Ferion and Armendil were openly encouraging. It would indeed seem strange to an outsider that the Witch-king would be the most respectful of the men she had known--most women would have expected just the opposite, preferring, instead, the alcohol-fueled chaos of the Keep. If only she had known how kind he would be! Never would she have objected to the marriage.
"I hear your other husbands all died!" shouted Armendil over the din. "Well, you--you know I am not going to die. You are not--no woman is going to kill me!" He swallowed more wine. "No one is ever going to kill me. And I will keep you so busy--" he belched loudly-- "I will keep you so pregnant you will never have a chance to kill me!"
His brothers broke into gales of laughter. Ariashal smiled, stabbing at the meat on her plate.
Someone at another table shouted the name of a popular, raunchy song; and the musicians dutifully took up the tune. Armendil joined in, roaring the saga of the man, woman, pigsty and carrots with wine-fueled gusto. Soon Ferion added his voice to the chorus.
Ariashal wondered if her brother had sung this at his own weddings--but of course he had. At his first, to the shy Dunedain girl from Fornost; and at the last, to the tall blonde sent from the Hillmen in exchange for cattle. She had always supposed that they had simply succumbed to illness, but now, watching Ferion's machinations, she wondered. No one had ever accused Ferion of being cursed, despite the fact that all his wives died. Perhaps, unlike her, he had taken a more active part in hastening their demises. Was there nothing he would not do?
More singing and shouting filled the room. Someone knocked a platter of meat to the floor, sending the pewter clattering away. Others, far too drunk to care, laughed and cheered as the meat rolled to the fire.
There was another loud, urgent clang of metal on metal. Someone was fighting--not in here, but outside the hall. Two of the men closest to the door drew their swords before leaving to break up the altercation outside.
They never got their chance.
With a resounding crash, the great doors slammed open, sweeping the two guards aside, crushing them against the stone walls.
Ariashal's heart leapt.
There stood the King, robed, hooded, masked, his black cloak swirling about him, surrounded by an army of armored men. With one hand he drew his great sword. For a moment he held it aloft. Flames licked along the blade.
"Ferion," he called, his voice cold as the grave, "prepare to meet your doom."

1. A Conspiracy Forged
But Pippin had received an invitation, one of only 144 in the whole Shire, to the private family dinner. And so had Ferdibrand Baggins, his sister Pearl's betrothed. His father had decided that, now that their wedding had been officially announced, Pearl must attend the dinner. What would it look like for her to not go while her twelve-year-old brother did? People would have asked uncomfortable questions. It would have embarrassed the family. Completely unacceptable. And why did a child want to go to a formal feast, anyway? He would be bored. So his father had argued, when he made it clear that Pippin would have to give up his seat to his sister.
As Pippin made his way through the party gate. Bilbo turned from the Bolgers he had been greeting and smiled at the Thain and his clan. He greeted them, first Pippin's uncle Rum, the current Thain and head of the family, and then the others, presenting each with a wrapped box. When Pippin's turn finally arrived, Bilbo deposited the box in Pippin's waiting hands. He leaned over and whispered in the lad's ear. "That's from my uncle Hildifons; you're too young for it now, but I expect you'll want it one of these days." Then he winked and turned to greet his next guest. "My dear Egla, how are you..."
"Hoy! Pip!" someone called from across the field.
Pippin looked around at the press of Hobbits gathered from across the Shire and, at last, spotted his cousins Dod Brandybuck and Sancho Proudfoot waving wildly at him from over by one of the food tables. He turned back to his father, a hopeful question writ large on his young face.
"Off with you then," Paladin said, pushing Pippin off towards the growing crowd. Pippin did not need to be told twice.
Sancho pressed a pint of cider into Pippin's hand. "What'd you get?"
"Don't know yet," Pippin answered, taking a gulp. "You?"
Sancho motioned to the shiny brass horn hanging on his belt. "Made by the Dales, whoever they are."
"Where ever, you mean. Don't you know anything?"
Pippin, Sancho, and Dod turned to see Frodo. A smile swept across the Baggins's face. Pippin, however, caught the tired look in Frodo's eyes and the sag in his shoulder. Pippin held out his hands for the bottles of Old Winyards Frodo was carrying. "Let me help, Frodo," he said.
Frodo shook his head. "It has been quite a morning, but I'm all right," he reassured Pippin, mustering another -- and stronger -- smile.
"Dale's a place?" Dod asked, a bit cross to be corrected before his younger cousins.
"Far away," Frodo answered. " Over the Brandywine and across the Mountains and through Mirkwood where the Fair Folk live."
"Near the Dragon-lands?" Pippin asked, his eyes shining as he recognized the setting of Bilbo's tales.
"Aye," Frodo answered him. "Dale's near the Lonely Mountain, where Balin and Glóin and all the other dwarves that Uncle Bilbo had his adventures with live now."
"But I don't remember a town called Dale in all those stories," Pippin said. " Lake-town, yes, but Smaug destroyed that, didn't he, and Bilbo said they never would rebuild it."
Frodo nodded. "Dale is King Bard's town..."
"Bard!" Sancho interrupted. "The black-haired captain with his black-feathered arrow?" He held an invisible bow far above his head and let fly an imaginary arrow.
"The very same," Frodo answered. "But he did more than kill dragons, you know. He gave his people a home. And those people have learned much from Dáin's dwarves under the mountain -- including, among other thing, how to make toys. When Bilbo sent word over a year ago that he was planning this party, King Dain sent his nephew Báin Springhand to help with the preparations -- and to bring the toys Bilbo had ordered from Dale, like that horn."
"So the horn was made by dwarves?" Pippin asked. "Really?"
"No," Frodo corrected patiently. "By the men of Dale." He muttered affectionately under his breath, "Don't even know about Dale, the ignorant little..., " before he rumpled Pippin's hair, grinned at the other two, and walked off.
Dale! Pippin opened up his own box excitedly, expecting something brassy, mechanical, or maybe even magical. If the gifts were coming all the way from across the mountains, anything was possible. "A... pipe?" His face fell. "That's it?" Compared to the shiny horn from Dale, an old pipe seemed a poor gift indeed.
"It's a handsome pipe, Pip," Sancho conceded. "Tell you what. I'll trade you."
Pippin thought for a moment. Uncle Bilbo had given him the pipe and had thought Pippin might want it someday. But Sancho had a dwarf-trumpet, shiny and new, and that was nothing to be sneezed at either. 'Done,' he said with a grin. The boys spat on the ground and shook hands, making the deal final according to the customs of hobbit lads.
Pippin spent the afternoon drinking cider and punch, enjoying the best apples of the harvest, and watching the pretty girls spin around the dance floor. Once or twice he saw Gandalf hurry by laden with fireworks. Normally the young Took would have followed him, but today Pippin just didn't have the heart. Bilbo's dinner was coming, and he should be going. But no, Pearl just had to take his place, didn't she?
Pippin was sure he would have enjoyed Gandalf's show more if he had the feast to look forward to. Beside him, Dod had "oohed" and "ahhed" over the blossoming flowers and the bright spears and the erupting volcanoes. But Pippin was barely able to raise a gasp; as beautiful as the fireworks were, they could not make him forget his dread of the words Bilbo had finally spoken.
"That is the signal for supper."
"Come on," Sancho said. "I smell mushrooms..."
"You go," Pippin said, waving him off. Sancho and Dod hesitated for a moment, but Pippin said nothing more. Finally Dod shrugged and led Sancho over toward the food tables. That was fine with Pippin; he wasn't at all hungry. He might not have a seat but, by the stars above, the young master from Tookland would hear this speech. He sneaked through the crowd and stood at the base of the party tree. All around, toddlers blinked away sleep as they tottered after their older cousins, children laughed, and tweens clinked mugs with their fellows. In the confusion no one seemed to notice one young Took climb a tree and settle into its branches.
The dwarves Bilbo had employed in the kitchen brought out dish after dish: salt pork, roast mutton, beef and potatoes, every kind of bean, loaves of bread, bottles of wine and barrels of beer. Bilbo's guests waded through the food and drink until Pippin wondered how they could eat or drink any more. But no, they still ate and drank, until Pippin decided Bilbo must have employed elf-magic to keep his tables permanently full. Pippin's legs began to cramp, and he shifted his weight, trying to ease them without shaking the tree and drawing attention to himself.
At last Bilbo stood up and walked through the crowd, shaking hands with those cousins he liked and weaving away from those he did not, until at last he reached the Party Tree. 'My dear people!' Bilbo began, climbing onto a table almost directly below where Pippin sat. His brass buttons glistened in the lamplight. 'My dear Baggins, Boffins, Brandybucks, and Tooks.' Not all the Tooks, Pippin thought bitterly, losing the thread of the talk as Bilbo went on.
And on and on, it seemed. Pippin thought about going to find Dod and his mushrooms, but before he could work out how he would climb down unseen a glimmer below caught his eyes. Not the old gold of Bilbo's waistcoat-buttons but a shiny, seemingly-ageless gold. "Though, as I have said, eleventy-one years is far too short a time to spend among you, -- this is the end. I am going. I am leaving NOW. GOOD-BYE!" And then, that same flash of gold. Pippin squinted his eyes, focusing on what was happening a few feet below. He saw Bilbo fiddling with a ring, saw him slip it on -- and a half-second later he disappeared. Almost immediately a burst of fireworks went off. While Pippin tried to blink away the ghosts of stars that swam before his eyes, he wondered: What kind of ring made you vanish?
A babble of conversation swept through the hobbits and Pippin slipped away in the confusion. Slowly he made his way away from the heart of the party field, toward the back gate opening onto Bagshot Row. More than once he stepped swiftly to the side, narrowly avoiding a collision with a hobbit that he would have seen far earlier if he had been looking where he was going. His new sleeve was stained with mushroom gravy from the bowl he had upset when he had not moved quickly enough. At last the crowds thinned and the lanterns shone far away. The darkness concealed him as he walked along the fence, trying to make sense of what he had seen.
When someone crept up behind him some time later and touched his shoulder, Pippin nearly jumped a foot high. Turning around, he saw his cousin Merry standing before him, the Brandybuck's eyes shining merrily even as his eyebrows arched in an unvoiced question.
"What's wrong?" his cousin asked after a moment.
"I... just before Bilbo disappeared..." Pippin began, but as he had not really understood what he had seen, he could not explain it to someone else.
"Yes?" Merry prodded.
"Well... he slipped on a ring," Pippin said slowly.
Merry stood still for a long moment, looking like he was trying to make up his mind about something. Twice he opened his mouth as if to speak but closed it without saying anything. "A ring?" he asked at last. "Well, what of it?"
"Yes, a ring," Pippin confirmed. "Right before he disappeared. What do you make of that?"
Merry gave his cousin an appraising look and bit his lip. When he finally spoke he said, "I'm...I'm not sure."
Pippin cocked his head, smiling. "Very well, keep your secrets!"
Merry laughed at that. "I will, for the present." He stuffed his hands absentmindedly into his trouser pockets. "Oh!" he cried as he pulled out the token he had found there. "I think this is yours. You'll want to hold on to it." He handed Pippin the pipe Bilbo had given him.
"But --"
"Don't worry, your word is still good." Merry grinned. Pippin sighed, relieved. But how had Merry retrieved the pipe, if his promise still remained intact? "Aren't you hungry?" Merry asked. "If you saw Bilbo disappear, that means you haven't eaten yet, have you? And you... you weren't invited to the feast, were you?"
"I was invited," Pippin said, more than a little offended, "but Father made me give my place to Pearl."
"So that's why you've been upset all day," Merry said flatly.
"How did you know I was upset?" Pippin asked.
"You hardly looked at the fireworks," Merry answered him. "And that was one of Gandalf's display. Even old Odo Proudfoot could hardly keep his eyes off them, and he's nigh a hundred! I'd expect a twelve-year-old Took like you to be even more captivated." He sighed. "Well, it's no great loss, Pip, missing the dinner. It was really quite boring. And you heard the speech, didn't you?"
"Yes..." Pippin reluctantly agreed.
"It would have been awkward if you went and Pearl didn't," Merry continued, trying to placate Pippin. "Ferdi would have had to eat alone; he wouldn't have liked that one bit." Pippin just frowned, and Merry draped a gangly arm around his shoulders. Pippin tried to shrug the arm off, but Merry tightened his grip on his younger cousin's shoulder, giving it a comforting squeeze. "You really wanted to go, didn't you?" he said.
"It was my invitation," Pippin said stubbornly. "Bilbo wanted me there, not her."
"I know," Merry said. Releasing Pippin's shoulder, Merry sat down on the hill and patted the ground beside him, encouraging Pippin to join him. After a minute Pippin did so, resting his head on his cousin's shoulder. "That's what matters," Merry continued: just one hundred forty-four people in the whole Shire, and he thought of you! Your father can never take that away from you -- nor would he want to."
"No," Pippin agreed, sighing contentedly. He ran his finger over the tartan plaid of his waistcoat, the first time article he had ever owned made from his family's cloth. His father loved him, but they were Tooks. And his father had a chance to be Thain someday. That was important. Just as Pippin could not go to the dinner-party just because he wanted to, Paladin also sometimes had to temper what he might have wished. Pippin understood that -- yet that did not mean he liked it. "But now no one else knows that Bilbo likes me so much," he said at last.
"Oh, they know," Merry said with a chuckle. "Who else does Bilbo let join him and Frodo on their walking trips? And he never would tell me about getting trapped in the cold pantry in Thranduil's halls. How could other hobbits not know that you are one of Bilbo's favourites? You two come from the same mold. There's a streak in you, a wild streak that makes people laugh and tremble at the same time. Bilbo can't help liking you; you remind him of himself."
Pippin smiled at that, then looked at the pipe in his hands. "I liked the horn better. Why did Bilbo have to give me such a silly present? I mean, how many twelve-year-olds does he know that like pipes?"
"Ah, but you're not just any twelve-year-old," Merry replied. "You are a Took. And one day you will be the Took. Don't you recognise it?" Pippin looked at him blankly. "I'll have to talk to your father," Merry continued. "You need to brush up on your family history if you're going to be Thain.
"Long ago -- years before even old Bilbo was born -- some orcs invaded the Shire. Your five times great uncle Bandobras gathered an army to fight them back. Bullroarer they called him, and with his brothers Sigismond and Ferumbras he led the hobbits at the Battle of Greenfields. They won, of course, but Sigismond was killed. After the battle Bandobras picked up the scimitar that had killed his brother and said to himself, "I will give this blade better food than hobbit-necks." He walked over to a tree and cut it down. An awkward tool, to be sure, but Bandobras was determined."
Pippin looked out across the field of dancing hobbits. Peace was the right of each and every one of them, and all decent folk, or so he had been told. But it seemed that hadn't always been true, and that sometimes hobbits like Sigismond had to die so that the rest of them could live in peace and forget that dangers existed.
Pippin's nails dug into his palms as he clenched his hands, wondering why things had to be that way. Merry noticed and laid his hand comfortingly on Pippin's, and Pippin relaxed his balled fists. "Careful, or you'll break the pipe," Merry said softly. He took it from Pippin and turned it over gently in his hand, rubbing his thumb lovingly along the intricate carvings.
"Most of the wood," Merry continued, "Bandobras used to build a monument to all those who had fallen protecting the Shire. He kept two small pieces of root, though. You see, when they were boys, Bandobras and Sigismond went to the Midsummer Day's festivities together, like we do. It was there Sigismond first became fascinated one or two of the farmers had started growing. Nicota, they called it, but we know it as pipe-weed. Back then most hobbits didn't smoke it like we do now. I've no idea what possessed them to start. Anyway, it was just beginning to get popular, and Sigismond was one of the first to take up the habit.
"Be that as it may, Bandobras took those pieces of wood back with him to Tuckborough and fashioned them into pipes. Over the years he continued to whittle at them, carving pictures of harvests and dances into the sides. Eventually he even had them fitted with silver mouthpieces. Where he got those, I don't know; perhaps from the Elves?
"So they passed from father to son for many years. Occasionally the Took who had been given your pipe would smoke it, remembering Sigismond and all the other hobbits who had died at the battle. But its brother was never used. Bandobras had made one for himself and one for Sigismond, and Sigismond had died before he could have a son to pass his pipe to."
"What happened to it?" Pippin asked, his eyes shining with curiosity. He realized to his surprise that he had not said a word for quite some time, most unusual for him. Usually only Bilbo's stories could hold his interest for this long.
"The Old Took decided it had been gathering dust for too long. If anyone deserved to have it, it was the person who kept the Shire safe from orcs and worse things. He gave it to Gandalf years ago. I imagine the wizard still carries it. Yours passed from Gerontius to Hildifons. Then, before Hildifons went off on his adventure, he gave it to Bilbo -- Bilbo being his nephew -- and now Bilbo has given it to you."
"Why didn't he just give it to Isengrim?" Pippin asked.
Merry frowned. "Grim was... well, he was queer. This was long before I was born, of course, but Grandfather told me that everyone knew even then that Grim wouldn't have a son to pass anything onto. And why should Hildi give it to him so Grim could pass it on to whoever he chose? No, better to give it to someone nice and respectable like Bilbo." He chuckled. "You see how well that worked out. No one today would expect an heir out of old Bilbo."
Pippin laughed at Merry's joke, but soon the smile faded from his face, replaced by a look of quiet contemplation. At last he said, his voice full of wonder, "That's a lot better than some dwarf-horn."
Merry nodded. "That pipe belongs in the waistcoat of a Took, not in the hands of a Proudfoot. Better yet to see it back on the mantelpiece in Great Smials. Certainly not in Lobelia's greedy paws."
"Lobelia? Why would Bilbo give it to her?"
Merry looked around to make sure they were really alone. "He wouldn't," he said, "but she'll raise quite a stink over Frodo inheriting Bag End. Yes, Bilbo named Frodo his heir, but a verbal will's not worth the paper it's not written on. And she's a tricky one, Lobelia. Bilbo knew better than to take chances with this pipe."
"But why did Bilbo give it to me? He could have given it to Uncle Rum, or anyone else..."
"I told you," Merry answered. "He sees himself in you. That old Tookishness in your eyes. It's that fire in the blood, Pip, that helped Bandobras beat back those orcs, and that same blood flows through you. Why, I bet you could kill a full-grown troll, if ever the idea got in your head."
"Me?" Pippin asked. "Take on a troll?"
"Bilbo never thought he'd leave the Shire, never mind end up far beyond the Misty Mountains, travel with dwarves and see all the things he saw. It's that same Took fire. It burns in him, too."
Pippin thought about that for a minute. At last he grinned widely at Merry, the happiest he'd smiled all day. Soon, though, the smile was replaced by a pensive frown. "So how did you get it back?" he asked.
"I promised Sancho I'd show him how to get through Farmer Maggot's fence. That rascal really likes his mushrooms," Merry said. "Now, about this ring you saw. You said Bilbo slipped it on, and then he vanished, as he put it on?"
Pippin thought back to what he'd seen, making sure he had the order of things clear in his own mind. "Yes, right before the explosion."
"Before?" Merry asked suspiciously. "You're sure?" Pippin nodded. Merry thought about it for a moment. "Oh well, I wouldn't worry about it," he said slowly, as if he were choosing his words carefully. "I'm sure it's nothing. It was dark, and you were quite a way up. The lamp-light was just playing tricks on your eyes. That had to be it. Now, food." The two of them walked over to where the dwarves were serving up plates heaped with salt pork, green beans, and apple cobbler. Pippin and Merry each took one and they sat down at one of the tables.
Pippin began eating right away, but Merry sat there quietly. "It's not nothing," he mumbled under his breath, "but if only I knew what it was. I'll have to keep an eye on those Bagginses -- queer folk."
Pippin looked up. "Keep an eye on them?" he asked. "Who, Frodo?"
Merry started to nod but, apparently changing his mind, shook his head instead. "Never you mind about that. That's my concern." He reached for a fork lying some way down the table and wagged it threateningly at Pippin. "If you don't forget about rings and start thinking about mushrooms, there may not be many left when I'm through with your bowl." Pippin giggled, trying to lay aside his worries -- at least for the night.

It's $100 for a powerful arm machine with a free bluetooth controller. i don't really need this thing but i think i'll buy it just for that.
Well I can't help but love projects like this, obviously it would never compete in the console market but it could carve a sustainable niche out for itself if it managed to create a decent software lineup with a steady stream of indie titles at the very least.
That however has changed in my opinion, with the now confirmed SteamBox which I believe will attract the same crowd that would have liked the OUYA, only the Steambox will be alot more attractive due to a wider range of games and (I assume) better hardware specs.
So I think Steambox will eat OUYA's proveribal lunch, question is if Steambox itself will be able to carve out more than a niche chunk of the console gaming market.
It's $100 for a powerful arm machine with a free bluetooth controller. i don't really need this thing but i think i'll buy it just for that.
The thing I don't like about Android is its Java layer. I have never been a fan of Java.
Yes it is not that powerful. but so what, the wii was basicly crappier than a xbox1 and was very successful, I know what I talk about I had one... I sold it, never came one good game... because the grafics-hardware was just so bad it basicly was impossible, no hdmi was the biggest problem, it was a nightmare to connect it to a monitor or to my beamer... and it looked terrible. yes the fun part was the controller, but after several hours of wii sports you will not play it anymore... and even the + motion update did not bring much more, it was just to late... they basicly agnoledged that the standard controller was not what they promoted it to be... if they would have the + version of the controller at the console start, it could been a good console even with the horrific grafics.
So again Ouya a great tv box that anybody needs anyway... and then you have some aditional softwarelove because its standardised hardware.
Anybody will buy google-tv or android-tv or something like that anyway... so why not buy a Ouya for that?
There is no way to not buy such a stick/box... its will be like you never have bought a usb-data-stick.
What do we have on the other side, maybe a cheap pc-replacement with a controller, with games that all come for pc too... then why should I buy it when I have a better pc. or its a expensive console to make it really fast... a "next next"gen konsole... yes that will not be cheep than >400 dollars? so it will have way less customers than a Ouya. But maybe I am wrong and the steam-"console" will become the next big thing... but on the other hand Sony and Microsoft have really big problems with their consoles... because anybody seems to play on android mobiles instead.... so I find it more likely that a cheap android console will be more convinient for most people...
good one thing that speeks for the Steam-box would be maybe that linux people would not need to have a special windows-pc just for gaming... but most people arent linux guys they buy windows anyway... they will even buy a windows lisense to put it on a 1st-gen netbook if its somehow possible to get it running ^^
Basicly Ouya itself is less powerful than Valve but basicly the battle here is between valve and google, and I think google will win this fight any day... there are many many android fanboys out there... they will ripping you anything out of your hands if there is a android logo on it...
I am not saying that the steam-box will fail or something... I just saying if you compare both projects I think Ouya will have more success and the " Valve's Linux-based game console is going to be much better" statement... or link... of course it will be better... it will cost 3-5 times more Money so it better be better... or dont release it if you want to not sell exactly 0 versions...

Having spent a few months this fall trying Android development, I concluded it was much nicer than Windows Phone, but still something I wouldn't touch with a pole for fun/in my free time.

The case series illustrates the role of performance measurement and analytics in translating TD-Canada Trust's service model of "comfortable banking" into operational terms. In 2000, in a banking market where consumers and regulators were typically hostile to mergers and acquisitions, Canada's fifth largest commercial bank Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD Bank) undertook a merger with a relatively small trust company, Canada Trust, which was known for exceptional customer service. To assuage the concerns of regulators, consumer groups, and newly acquired customers, TD Bank made several public pronouncements promising to maintain Canada Trust's high customer service standards and to deliver a "comfortable banking" experience. Chris Armstrong, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, was now faced with the task of defining the comfortable banking model and consistently delivering on these promises. Armstrong and his team undertake a systematic analysis of the drivers of customer satisfaction and branch network profitability and, based on the results, must decide how to change TD-Canada Trust's branch compensation and performance reporting systems to consistently, and profitably, deliver a "comfortable banking" experience.

Analytics; Balanced scorecard; Customer satisfaction; Mergers & acquisitions

The Scream star is a long-time supporter of The Art of Elysium, which helps celebrities visit sick children in hospital, and was the guest of honour at the organisation's sixth annual Heaven Gala on Saturday (12Jan13).
Arquette regularly volunteers his time to support the cause, along with stars including Ben Affleck and James Franco, and charity bosses praised his ongoing commitment with the Spirit of Elysium honour.
Arquette tells Entertainment Tonight he was "very humbled" to be recognised, adding, "Once you interact with the kids on a personal level, it sort of changes your life. It's very touching. It's an amazing opportunity to help them just get lost in their creativity for a moment."
Kelly Osbourne, who also works with the foundation, says, "This is one of my favourite charities in the entire world, and I love working with them. If anyone ever gets the opportunity to take part in any of the programs... I encourage you to do so because the first time I did it, it changed my life. I left there a different person."

6/4/13 Miley Talks Drugs
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, June 4, 2013
The ex-girlfriend of Kris Humphries says Kim Kardashian is a serial cheater who would sneak Kanye West into her hotel room while she was dating Reggie Bush. As reported yesterday, Myla Sinanaj also posted a check from Kardashian's lawyer to prove she was paid for a deposition in the Kim-Kris divorce battle. The amount of the check was blurred so it wouldn't reveal how much Myla received for agreeing to provide testimony, but it is marked that it was a "witness/travel" fee. She is a former hotel worker, and claims that she witnessed Kanye going into Kim's hotel suite at 2 a.m. one morning. She also had a message for Kanye: "If they cheat with you, they cheat on you.' Remember that sh*t."
Miley Cyrus' new single, "We Can't Stop," includes drug references.... In the chorus, she appears to refer to taking Molly, which is the street name for ecstasy. The lyric that she sings is apparently, "We like to party, dancing with Molly, doin' whatever we want." Another part of the song includes an apparent cocaine reference. She sings, "Everyone in line in the bathroom, Trying to get a line in the bathroom.."
Amanda Bynes is laughing all the way to the loony bin. Amanda thinks all the headlines she's grabbing is only making her a bigger celebrity. Monday she tweeted, "The DA and my lawyer talked today.

KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST are expecting a girl. The baby's gender was revealed during an ultrasound that was shown last night on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians". There's one moment where the doctor says he can't find a penis, and Kim says, quote, "It would definitely take after his father, so you WOULD see it."
PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN has revealed that he just went to DETOX for narcotics abuse . . . including HEROIN. He'd had substance abuse problems in the past, but he'd been clean for 23 years before falling off the wagon recently. It started with prescription pills, then escalated to SNORTING heroin. After about a week of doing that, he checked himself into a 10-day detox program.
RadarOnline.com says that AMANDA BYNES was evicted from her New York City apartment. They say moving trucks showed up and took her stuff last Tuesday night, just five days after she was arrested for allegedly smoking pot in the lobby of the building, then throwing a bong out her apartment window. There's no word where she's living now. --Meanwhile, Amanda says she got a nose job . . . and she's getting another one in three weeks. Also, she Tweeted that her dad is, quote, "as ugly as RuPaul."
MICHAEL DOUGLAS says his throat cancer was caused by performing oral sex. He didn't name any names, though. He says, quote, "Without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV, which actually comes about from [performing oral sex on a woman] . . . And if you have [HPV], [performing oral sex on a woman] is also the best cure for it."
5/31/13 Amanda Bynes Acting Crazy...Again
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, May 31, 2013
Amanda Bynes claims photos taken at a trampoline facility in Buffalo, NY are not her, but multiple witnesses say otherwise. Photos show Amanda wearing a brown wig at a "Sky Zone" center, and she went bananas on Twitter, cussing out bloggers who posted them. She tweeted, "THAT'S NOT ME! I've never been to SkyZone! That looks nothing like me!" Several Sky Zone employees and customers have said that they're 100% convinced it was her, and Amanda even left a paper trail. The center's owner said, "Amanda had to sign a waiver. She has the same DOB and same tattoos, but she checked in using her middle name and same last name. She did not use 'Amanda.'" Witnesses say Amanda was frantic and distracted, asking guests to delete pictures while she bumbled around. Amanda went so far with her denial that she denied even owning a brown wig, but previous photos of her show that she has indeed worn a brown wig before.
Amanda Bynes neighbors in her NYC apartment are freaked out by her. One tells the NY Post, "She stares you out in the elevator. Residents are terrified to be alone with her. She knocked on one woman's door, and when it opened, she screamed 'You're ugly,' and ran away. "Amanda always seems to be alone, muttering to herself and looking completely out of it." The resident said management as well as neighbors in Bynes' West 47th Street building are fed up with her antics in the lobby, elevators and public corridors. The good news is, she hasn't been seen in the building since her arrest.
Believe it or not! Lindsay Lohan's rehab stint isn't just about her health -- she's also using it as a chance to mend fences with her family.

Wednesday, May 29, 2013
Justin Bieber is in hot water with his neighbors. They say not only does he drive his Ferrari way too fast, they have also seen him riding a Segway and smoking a joint--in front of neighborhood kids! They say Justin and his friends have turned the neighborhood upside down. They've called cops twice in the last week over loud noise coming from Justin's house where parties go until 3 AM. Some residents are claiming Justin almost hit a neighbor pulling out of his driveway. The homeowner's board is planning on taking action. They've talked to cops who promise they will start towing vehicles that are left on the street overnight. Word has it Bieber is also running a business from his house, which is banned by the association rules.
When Courtney Love is offering you advice, you can be pretty sure your life is a wreck. Courtney reached out to Amanda Bynes Monday night, tweeting, "Pull it together, dude." Amanda didn't take too kindly to the message, shooting back with "Courtney Love is the ugliest woman I've ever seen. To be mentioned by her at all makes me and all my friends laugh!" But Courtney didn't fight back. She wrote, "Amanda, I wasn't attacking you, love. I've been in your shoes before, wasn't easy. DM me, let's talk. Ignore the haters." Just before her rant, Amanda claimed that her lawyer is getting her case dropped. But that might be fanciful thinking. She was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment, attempted tampering with evidence and marijuana possession Thursday, after allegedly throwing a bong out of her 36th-floor apartment in full view of cops.

I rate wines using the 100-points scale. I have used this point system for close to 25 years. I still believe it is the simplest way to rate a wine, with its origins from grade school in the United States. A wine that I rate 90 points or more is outstanding (A), and worth buying. If I rate a wine 95 points or more (A+), it is a must buy.

Irish Americans are being encouraged to go back to their roots as plans are unveiled for a major clan gathering in Ireland.
One of Europe's oldest and most celebrated clans – O'Neill – have announced details of a four-day long celebration of their culture and history.
The event, which takes place between the 22nd and 26th May 2013, is designed to bring together O'Neill family members from around the globe to share stories and celebrate an incredibly rich and diverse clan history.
Sean O'Neill of The Association of O'Neill Clans said: "The O'Neill Dynasty history dates back to the 10th century and one of the first High Kings of Ireland. Since then our clan has played prominent roles in the development of Ireland, Europe and latterly the United States of America.
"O'Neills span across the globe and we're hoping this international gathering will bring many of them together to learn more about their roots and the stories that chart the incredible highs and lows of our clan history."
O'Neill clan members last met in Paris, France in 2010 where a decision was made to hold future gatherings. In 2013 the family is going back to where it all began with a series of lectures and musical and dramatic performances across the emerald isle.
Sean added: "I would urge all O'Neills in the USA to come to Ireland in 2013 and join the celebrations. In return we'll offer our famous hospitality and a real opportunity to strengthen clan family ties and make lifelong friends."
The four-day long event will take in visits to various historical O'Neill sites including The Hill of The O'Neill in Dungannon, County Tyrone; the coronation site of The O'Neill in nearby Cookstown; walking tours of Armagh – a city with a rich O'Neill heritage; and a trip to Ireland's capital city Dublin.
To assist US tourists with the journey home to Ireland, The Association of O'Neill Clans is offering a full package in partnership with holiday operator Brack Tours. The package includes transport from Dublin Airport, hotel accommodation, meals and access to the full programme of entertainment on offer at the gathering.

How to Select
How to select Light Bulbs
Light bulbs are the most essential parts of any lighting fixture that is why you need to pay additional attention when selecting them. The following guide will help you make the best choice among hundreds of options that exist today.
The first choice that you need to make is the lighting technology used for light bulb creation. Here are the most common types that exist today:
- Fluorescent bulbs. Such type efficient and long-lasting and is traditionally used with residential and commercial ceiling fixtures.
- CFL bulbs. This is the type of compact fluorescent lamps that use a mixture of gases to illuminate the area. Such bulbs are able to retain their heat and thus light when heated, this is why they provide more light while using the same amount of energy.
- Incandescent Bulbs. Incandescent bulbs are the oldest and least efficient type of light bulb that is still commonly used because of its low and affordable price. Such light bulbs spend 30-40% more energy than fluorescent and in addition to that have a shorter life.
- LED bulbs. Are the most efficient, reliable and long-lasting bulbs that exist today. The LED technology emits light while electrical charge passes through the bulb. The scope of LED bulbs is wider than you think; they are used in most of the residential, commercial and even industrial light fixtures.
- Halogen bulbs. This type of bulb is the closest you will ever get to sun light. It offers a natural colored light that is very similar the one produced by sun. Such light bulbs are mostly used for decoration purposes.
After the type of your future light bulb is specified, you need to consider its shape. The shapes that are present at today's market include a-line, spiral, globe, candle, tube, bullet and other. Each shape has benefits and fits particular light fixtures and installations.
Bulb base should also be considered before you buy the item. The best way to know if the base is compatible with the lamp or the fixture is to look for specifications of such device and compare them with the bulb's description.
Wattage and color temperature of a light bulb should also be considered. Knowing the wattage of each bulb installed in each fixture will help you plan your budget and, surprisingly enough spend less money and energy. Color temperature or the light's color only depends on your personal preferences. It is possible to find bulbs of every type with warm or cool colors; you only need to look for such information in the light's description.
