Keywords: Branson luxury golf condominium, private gated golf community, Silver Dollar City, Indian Point on Table Rock Lake, and 20 minutes from all that Branson offers.
My husband and I rented this condo for a last minute weekend getaway and we loved it! It was the perfect location for us as we come to Branson often. It is so comfortable and has everything you need in the kitchen. It was so peaceful and quiet. We will definitely be back!
This was our second time renting this condo. We had a wonderful visit again! This condo is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. It is roomy enough to have a comfortable visit while enjoying all Branson has to offer. The community where this is located is picturesque. We had an issue with the washer and the owner responded VERY quickly to get it fixed. The condo is very comfortable. It's also right next to the pool - super convenient! We would stay here every time - just a beautiful place with a wonderful owner!
The condo was very well maintained and cared for. It was like a home away from home. There is so much to do in the Stonebridge Resort area; golf, swimming, trails, playgrounds, volleyball, basketball, fishing... We had a problem with the refrigerator during our stay and the owner was quick to respond and get repairs done. We will be back!
This place was perfect for our family! The space was great, and the condo was extremely well cared for. Location was great within the Stonebridge community. The owner was a pleasure to work with. We absolutely loved it and will be back!
Incredible condo for a great value! After annual trips to Branson with our children, my husband and I took our two teenage grandsons for their first experience, and they are still talking about all the fun. The condo was so beautiful and spacious, the guys all had their own remote, patio view was perfect for watching the golfers, pool within walking distance, and I wanted to bring the mattress in the bedroom suite home with me. We have been to The Masters, husband has golfed some great courses and he rates Ledgestone as a challenge with beautiful views. Did the eating feast at Lambert's, rode The Ducks and grandson got to drive on the water, experienced The Dixie Stampede where you eat with no tools, and Silver Dollar City's roller coasters had them screaming. The Outlaw Run is ranked #2 out of the top 100 coasters in the U. S. The most impressive thing for me was dealing with Mike. He made the process so easy and was so considerate of our comfort and experience. We are so glad we made these great memories in such a beautiful location!
This condo has it all - beautifully furnished, large rooms, close to everything Branson has to offer, and owners that are very pleasant to deal with. We were here as a family of four - 2 adults, 2 kids - and had more than enough room. The condo is very comfortable, both for sleeping and relaxing. I loved that the second bedroom had twin beds - perfect for kids! Walking distance to one of the pools in the development and the drive to Silver Dollar City is less than 10 minutes! Stone Bridge itself is breathtaking to drive through - couldn't ask for a more picturesque vacation setting. We will definitely be back!!!

My last day in America!
After getting home early hours of the morning it was a sleepy kind of morning. 3.30am I ended up crawling in so it was makeup off and bed! I woke up randomly at half 7 and started to talk to people back home as it was a normal time. Then went back to sleep till 10! And then I went to check on miss Taylor and see if she was alive and kicking. She was still sound asleep with her two kitties. Got the best picture. Then I got myself ready as me ...

The experience of visiting the Ranch was actually very enjoyable especially so as Sally, our excellent guide, educated and amused our small group with her insights and knowledge. She did enquire whether everyone present understood 'Texan'!

There were lots of TVs around the restaurant with the Redskins/Eagles game on. It was funny to see all these Cowboys fans cheering for the Redskins, but their win helped the Cowboys playoff chances. Food was good and plentiful; service was fine. Prices were okay, too.
Day 2
First night "roughing it" in the tent was fairly comfortable. Roughing it is not quite accurate, since we have a big ole air mattress and soft sheets and pillows from home. But there is quite a bit of stooping involved. Breakfast at the campsite and then off towards Arlington, TX.
Lunch in Tyler, TX where the biggest eye-opener was that you could get an hour of parking for 25 ...

When we arrived at the airport, we met up with Sean and Mike whom we haven't seen since meeting up with them on our European holiday last year. The weather here in Dallas is cooler than we'd expected but we don't mind. When we arrived at Sean and Mike's house, I went to give them the bottle of red wine we'd bought for them in Chile to discover that, whilst it had travelled perfectly for three weeks, had smashed on this ...

"Bear Depends"
"Look Daddy, that bear just took a dump!" How embarrassing for you! Let's say you're the owner of Babear's Fun Circus, a circus that features dancing acrobatic bears, aimed at children. What child can possibly resist dancing, juggling, acrobatic bears, straight from the wild to this circus? A child who has just witnessed a bear answering nature's call, that's who! You can train a bear to dance, you can train a bear to juggle, but you can't train a bear to use toilet paper! Well, now your fun circus is saved! Introducing 'Bear Depends', the animal diaper scientifically proven to help people avoid steaming surprises. Of course, the bear will be resistant to wearing one, but never fear, we also have 'Anti-Maul Protection Armor', that you can wear until the bear is less resistant to wearing 'Bear Depends', so you'll keep all your limbs while potty training Gentle Ben!"

HeHe, the visuals with this are way too much. :) Sherry
can you imagine a grizzly bear running after you, but then you turn around and see it's depends? he'd slink away in humiliation! so much for intimidation!
At least you avoided calling it bear necessities. Or is that a disney spin of of the core product. I mean the diaper not the contents, you wouldn't want that spinning of anywhere, not even in a curcus else the acrobats might slip up. And are acrobats really bats? Now I have confussed myself!
Thank you for this! My bear circus is saved... Although I picked up a pair of these and I had a devil of a time wearing them! They're very comfy, but I really don't see how this helps the bear...
VERY funny, Mike. I love it!
Yeah, I used to be a dancing bear in the circus; and I told all of my bear friends about 'Bear Depends'; they work wonders; of course, the rest of the bears had a combined IQ of around 8; they were so stupid, they couldn't even tell I wasn't a bear. There was talk about all of us forming our own circus one day; right, like THAT would have ever happen!

Set sail for Dominica's second largest town, the yachting mecca of Portsmouth. Whale-watching and diving are the town's other main outdoor drawcards, along with Cabrits National Park on the northern fringe.

My Gaming 2011 In Summary
By Icemael 11 Comments
I cannot help but look at this year with mixed emotions. On the one hand, for me as a European who enjoys arcade games, this has been an absolutely stellar year with Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu, Deathsmiles, The King of Fighters XIII and Arcana Heart 3 getting localized, Muchi Muchi Pork! and Pink Sweets being released in a region-free port compilation, and the excellent Hard Corps: Uprising coming out via Xbox Live Arcade. On the other hand, the list of games that failed to live up to my expectations is long, including Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Dead Space 2, Shadows of the Damned, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and Bulletstorm in addition to many more that I'm not going to bother mentioning here. No year is free of letdowns, of course, but it's very rare for this many releases to disappoint me in a single year.
Anyhow, let's forget about the bummers for now. Here are my ten favourite 2011 releases, my five favourite pre-2011 releases I didn't end up checking out until this year, and the ten upcoming 2012 releases I'm most excited for. If you're American and some of the releases seem off it's probably because, as mentioned earlier, I'm European.
1. Dodonpachi Resurrection
This fantastic shoot 'em up package features several excellent modes with loads of challenging bullet patterns and fun scoring systems that mix and match elements from a variety of games in the genre (I especially enjoy the scoring in Arrange A, which combines Daioujou and Daifukkatsu 1.5 and ends up being more fun than both). It also provides an incomparable audiovisual experience with superb music – the Black Label soundtrack in particular is just out of this world – and some of the best 2D graphics in the business (colourful, well-animated and extremely detailed, with countless dazzling special effects and beautifully rendered enemy sprites dominating the screen at virtually all times – the visual experience is second only to Vanillaware's stuff in terms of overall quality, and unmatched in terms of intensity). Espgaluda II and Mushihime-sama Futari 1.5 remain my favourite games from Cave, but this has taken Daioujou's place as my favourite Donpachi title, and it's easily my favourite release of the year.
2. Muchi Muchi Pork! & Pink Sweets
Muchi Muchi Pork! is well-paced, very challenging and has great boss battles, but more importantly, it's got what is without question my favourite shoot 'em up scoring system. Collecting pigs released by destroyed enemies, unleashing powerful lard attacks to fill the screen with giant, golden pig-head medals and then sucking them all up is incredibly addicting and immensely satisfying. Pink Sweets with its crazy rank system and unique bomb mechanic is pretty fun as well, but I honestly haven't played much of it – whenever I pop this port collection in I inevitably end up spending most of my time playing Pork, even if my initial intention is to practice Sweets. The only real complaint I have is that the games didn't get the graphical upgrade included in most of Cave's other Xbox 360 ports. They would have looked great with hi-res sprites.
3. Hard Corps: Uprising
Hard Corps: Uprising builds on the foundation laid by the Contra games of old with a plethora of new special moves, and the result is the fastest run 'n gun I have ever played. By mastering the dash, the vault, the dodge et al. one can zoom through the stages at lightning speed, breezing through enemies and other obstacles like they're nothing, and it feels absolutely incredible. The presentation might be underwhelming (the playable characters and many of the enemies are represented by hand-drawn, nicely animated sprites, but most everything else is polygonal, primitive and just doesn't look very good – it's especially disappointing when you consider that Arc System Works have produced stunning 2D games in the past), but even so, this is an excellent arcade-style run 'n gun and one of the finest games released this year.
4. DiRT 3
This is the first Colin McRae game I've bought since Colin McRae Rally 2.0 for the PlayStation, and I wasn't sure what to expect. It turned out to be a very pleasant surprise indeed. It looks and sounds amazing, the handling feels perfect (it has just the degree of realism I want from a game like this: it's no Burnout, but it's no hardcore racing simulator either) and the tracks, with their different surfaces and weather effects, are great: there are sunny desert courses, rainy forest roads, nighttime snow tracks and more, and drifting around corners is spectacular fun in all of them. The one thing I don't love is the addition of Gymkhana challenges, where the goal isn't to race but to jump, spin and drift for points, but thankfully that aspect of the game can for the most part be ignored.
5. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
This game's puzzles, while conceptually brilliant, are a bit simpler than I'd have liked, but the detailed 2D environments look gorgeous, the exaggerated character animations are wonderfully fluid, the soundtrack – a mix of jazz, rock and electronic music – is excellent, and the complex supernatural mystery story, which keeps you hooked by constantly introducing new shocking twists and wacky characters, is extremely well-thought-out. It's also one of this year's funniest games. Ghost Trick surprised me with its quality and has left me very excited for Shu Takumi's next project, Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney.
6. Deathsmiles
I generally dislike horizontal shoot 'em ups, but amongst the few I enjoy, Deathsmiles is probably my favourite. The Halloween theme is great, the music is terrific, and it's really nice to have the ability to shoot both forward and backward. The scoring system never clicked with me and the game doesn't feel as well-paced or exciting as Cave's finest (mainly because of the way it's structured: the player is given a lot of freedom when it comes to the order of the stages and the level of challenge, which is nice in a way, but as a result progression doesn't feel as natural as in Cave's other games), but dodging dense bullet patterns and blowing up enemies left and right is nevertheless a lot of fun.
7. Arcana Heart 3
This fighting game has fun characters designs (my personal favourite is Eko, a little girl who has a crudely drawn imaginary friend do all the fighting for her), an arcana system that effectively gives you hundreds of different fighters to choose from, and a unique homing mechanic that allows for exciting, fast-paced battles in which the characters go from exchanging blows on the ground one second to flying around high up in the air the next. The spritework is a bit rough and could use some improvement, but aside from that Arcana Heart 3 is terrific fun, and it's one of my favourite fighting games.
8. The King of Fighters XIII
With its elaborate, richly animated backgrounds and gorgeous character sprites, this is a stunning game (as expected from SNK – they have always been masters of 2D, and their Metal Slug and The Last Blade titles remain some of the best-looking 2D games in existence) and hands down the most beautiful in the genre. It's also a blast to play even for a low-level player like me: it's fast, fluid and has a great selection of characters (though some of my favourites from past installments, like Vanessa and Jenet, are missing). If only SNK had the finances to give some of their other franchises the treatment they've given King of Fighters…
9. Dark Souls
Dark Souls brings an array of little changes, both good (the world, Lordran, feels larger and more naturally structured than Demon's Souls' Boletaria, and the dark fantasy aesthetic is more well-realized than before, with improved monster design and a larger variety of beautiful, somber environments) and bad (technical issues involving for example control responsiveness and framerate are considerably more frequent than in the previous game, and getting around is more tedious as you can't warp between all the checkpoints), but more than anything else it's more of what was in Demon's Souls: an action game that offers a lot of freedom, a unique online system, level and enemy design that requires you to stay on your toes at all times, and an overall experience that is, despite a number of technical and mechanical issues, a very enjoyable one.
10. Gears of War 3
For much of its campaign, Gears of War 3 abandons the dark, gloomy look of its predecessors for a brighter, more colourful aesthetic that for the most part disappointed me. As technologically impressive as it is (the special effects and the lighting are at times jaw-dropping) it offers nothing on the level of, say, traversing the dark, deadly streets of Ephyra in the unforgettable second act of Gears of War, or journeying into the Locust Horde's magnificent capital, the Nexus, in the fourth act of Gears of War 2. The combat feels like a step down, too: the Lambent are less varied and easier to deal with than the Locust they often replace, and the three AI comrades you always have with you do a bit too good of a job fighting enemies. It says a lot about the quality of the previous games, then, that Gears of War 3 is – despite its shortcomings – a gorgeous game that's a lot of fun to play, and one of the very best cover-based third-person shooters currently on the market.

TripAdvisor Reviews 3C Venice
Travel Blogs from Venice
JASON & JACK: Venezia
... the boat all of the way around Venice for 30 minutes. We used the rest of the time to lose ourselves in the maze like streets and alleyways, eventually leading us to a cheap gelato shop with very nice gelato, 3 scoops for 3 euro, how good is that deal. Jack proceeded to drop half of his ice cream whilst walking around. After this many of us returned to the square for relaxation and observation of the scenery. By this time ...
Day 12: Venezia for the day!
... the shuttle back to the hotel to take a dip in the rooftop pool, which is very refreshing! When we see how fantastic the sun looks from this perspective, we take a seat at the only rooftop bar in Venice to watch the sunset. Once the skies are dark, we take a boat back across the Guidecca Canal in search of somewhere to eat dinner. The island seems deserted; there are definitely not as many people around as we both expected. As we walk past many of ...
Venice...a city like no other...
... easy to use. We purchase our biglietti from the ticket booth (7,00pp for a single (one-hour) trip), locate the No 2 "bus stop", remember to validate our tickets in the little machines outside and then surge forward with everyone else when the boat arrives. Although busy, we find a space where we can experience our first water trip quite comfortably, and I immediately claim the vaporetto as my favourite ever mode of transport. ...
How much can we do in one day?
... Suddenly we realised we had 5 minutes to get back to the tour that realistically takes 15 minutes to walk back too. I knew I needed to get fit before we left Melbourne for a reason. Never run so fast in the most inappropriate attire in my life. Now I know why Melbournians love black!! But luckily we made it!
Floating through Venice
... Walked for a while and found one place that was blowing glass but they were only making paperweights while they waited for a special group to come through so we watched that then headed off to find a shady spot to eat our picnic. We probably looked like a pair of neanderthals with our big pork hock, but we figured we were just doing what Romans had been doing at banquets years ago :) It was pretty good, closest thing to a roast either of us had eaten in ...

Unlocked International Note 3 (3G, not LTE): Will it work?
For some reason I thought of the 'Will it blend?' series of videos when writing the title... But I digress.
So, I'm traveling to San Diego this weekend to do some apartment hunting (and plan to eventually move in next month). More specifically, the Carlsbad/Oceanside/Vista/SanMarcos/Encinitas area. So, my conundrum is that, no matter how many hours I spent with "Customer Service" over the phone (might have been only 20 minutes, but it seemed like hours to me), I couldn't get them to understand that what I needed to know is which frequencies they use for their HSPA+ network and if my phone would work.
I know it won't get LTE,and I'm really trying to avoid having to buy another phone if I move there (I travel a lot, so T-Mo's plans with global data roaming are a no brainer), so does any of you guys know if my phone could get decent speeds while in California?
Here are the specs for my phone:
GSM / GPRS / EDGE (850 / 900 / 1.800 / 1.900 MHz) support
HSPA+ (850 / 900 / 1.900 / 2.100 MHz) support

Re: Unlocked International Note 3 (3G, not LTE): Will it work?
San Diego is a refarmed area so you should get h+ on 1900mhz. With that said you seem to be going beyond San Diego proper,so it is unknown how far they extended it.

Re: Unlocked International Note 3 (3G, not LTE): Will it work?
The term 're-framed' helped a lot Carlsbad is EXPLICITLY stated in a T-Mo document about this. I'll still try to convince a rep to let me try a SIM card before I buy.

Re: Unlocked International Note 3 (3G, not LTE): Will it work?
Thanks! I just looked at some apartments and so far it looks like I'll be moving to the edges of Vista or Oceanside. Vista place has a fireplace and AC but only 1 bedroom. Oceanside one has 2 bedrooms and a bit more patio, but no AC and no fireplace (and a bit further from work). Can't decide! Haha.
Oh! And by the way, I stopped by a T-Mobile store and the guy there was SUPER helpful and let me try his own SIM card. Voilá! HSPA+ works! He even gave me all the details I needed to get a new 'contract' without having prior US credit.

I highly suspect this is related to the scl3 colo move, but there is no data in GoFaster since April 1.
I'm reviving the BuildFaster side of this, so I'm going to need this data.
Not sure what we should do about back-filling data (if we should bother at all).
There is no new data because the data source we rely on in GoFaster is no longer available. The dashboard periodically would consume:
which was being updated daily by an automatic process (run by catlee?) with data scrunged from the buildbot db's.
This url now returns an HTTP 404.
This sort of data lives in
now, but we need to start putting buildfaster data there.
catlee: where can I find the script for this? I'm happy to try to get this setup again.
currently it's on cruncher in my home directory. the entry point is ~/bin/buildfaster_report.sh. It's bombing out on B2G builders it doesn't understand ATM.
Checked the script into braindump:
The script is cron-ed up again and producing output that can be digested by brasstacks:

It happens once a day, at midnight.

The sudden pleasure of getting my small, beige, rounded thing to talk to me was as intense as it was unexpected. I got hooked and since then I've never stopped playing with machines. They don't gossip, don't pay you compliments and don't want to know if you have PMT. Instead, they insist on steady, logical and dispassionate treatment.
Despite these obvious social failings, computers have been at the heart of women's interests in more ways than one. I was sold on the computing concept from the conversational point of view, although it took me six more years before I could experience the Internet and chat with real people instead of my "imagined" Basic-programmed characters. Then the interest became a passion and, soon after, an addiction.
But along with other women, I soon discovered one of the downsides of linking our computers to the Net - the overwhelmingly male presence in the online community. Women were sought after, but as objects of digital desire rather than as partners and co-builders of cyberspace. The only areas allocated to us were marketing-led artificial gender ghettoes such as Women's Wire. The commercial failures of these projects was predictable - women who go to the trouble to get connected, learn the skills and get the necessary gear don't do it just to talk lipstick.
I've found that the only common denominator for all of us f-email users is an interest in technology and what it can do for our careers, professional development and, of course, earning abilities. Typical topics from women's magazines such as "how to get a man (and his money)" or "59 ways to have sex with your boss" don't seem very interesting compared with configuring your laptop to pick up your e-mail via a mobile phone, learning a new trick with Macromedia Director 6 or exploring the world full of goodies at shareware.com.
Fortunately, a lot has changed in the gender make-up of online users. In fact, now women are the architects and engineers of the wired world. For example, every time you use an intelligent agent, think about firefly.com, one of the pioneers of personalisation technology for the delivery of music products. The brain behind it is Patti Maes, a professor from MIT. Like me, Patti got into computers via linguistics and made it her mission to help us find the right products and make good use of personalisation tools for smart information management. She has managed to combine good ideas with a sharp business sense. Firefly has just launched a new version and is working with the major online services as well as with top search engines, providing tools for the much-loved My Yahoo.
Women are also behind the products that we will use tomorrow, the most exciting of which is Marimba's "push technology", which will broadcast information to our PCs. The brain behind Marimba, Kim Polese, is helping to define the future shape of the Web. She was also the marketing brain behind Java, and even if she were to retire tomorrow, cyberspace would have a lot to thank her for.
One of the key strategic decisions made in 1996 was Apple's acquisition of NeXT, which shifted the paradigm of the Macintosh operating system. The person behind this dramatic development was Ellen Hancock. As Apple's chief technology officer, she defined Apple's strategy for the next few years.
Closer to home, Jo Boatman, of Channel Cyberia, was responsible for redefining scheduled online entertainment. Her concept of channels and schedulers introducing time to the Web experience is now being implemented by Microsoft Network and AOL.
Yahoo and Excite have set up shop in the UK with women at the helm. Gail Robinson, editor of Internet magazine, is reshaping the Net press in the brave, new post-Wired world, and the girls from thepassion.co.uk have added a bit of spice to Web content, combining great sensitivity with cool technical competence.
Completing this shortlist of key women in technology in 1996 is a mentor of mine, Stacy Horn. Stacy founded the first women and "non-techie" oriented BBS in New York in 1993. It was called echo.com and lived for many months as a rack of modems above Stacy's bed in her tiny SoHo apartment. She singlehandedly built the first settlement on the electronic frontier and struggled to make it friendly, easy and useful for non-Unix heads.
These are the female pioneers of cyberspace. They should be an inspiration to us alln

I fed the editor ideas that I would use for her gardening section. She fed
some of my questions to the reporter, who had no idea that the questions
came from ME! I suggested she print my gardening calendar that I've filled
with all the local plant sales. I also suggested a "What's in bloom" sidebar
idea that she liked, but I have no idea who she'd get to write it! If she
shows up today, I'll question her about it.
I took a look at the Thursday paper. There was 1/2 a page related to
gardening. Maybe it's early in the season, but you'd think they could do
better than that. The Sunday garden editor didn't do much better. She too
knew absolutely nothing about plants when she was handed the job. She's
learned a lot since then, but the section is dull in my estimation. It's a
bit of a lost opportunity to get people interested in gardening.
By the way, I love gardenias and envy you being able to have their perfume
filling your garden! Nice photos!

I've gained most of my outdoor experience hiking and camping in the Ozarks. And even though I'm naturally waterproof and will never need a jacket, I'm pretty decent at selling them. This gig with Moosejaw is the second coolest thing I've ever done, right behind winning the Missouri River Best Den Award last year. Suck it, otters!Email Me
Get to know Moosejaw, Kansas City
Kansas City as some call it, but Krazy Chill as we refer to it is the proud home of the newest Moosejaw. We are in the house y'all. Come on down to the Country Club Plaza and be sure and bring your game. We have a permanent ping pong table and nerf wars going on. Oh, we also have some really great gear for whatever your adventure is. Swing on down to hang out with us, because we have the best hair in the city.
The goods are coming. Stay tuned.
Check back soon for more upcoming shop events.

Moosejaw, Kansas City Products
In our Kansas City shop, you will find a wide variety of jackets from Arc'teryx, Patagonia, The North Face and many others. We only carry brands that we know you'll love. A different occasion calls for a different jacket is what I always say. From down-full length jackets for those cold days, to waterproof shells on the rainy days, and light-weight fleeces on the "I don't really need a jacket, do I?" days, we cover all the bases. Here's a thought I'm going to leave you with- in the right mindset, all food is finger-food. Am I right?
Moosejaw carries a huge selection of footwear, from trail to track we will find exactly what you're looking for. It's safe to assume that we only carry the best brands. I don't get why people say, "You know what they say when you assume something..." and then they never finish their sentence. So annoying. Anyways, we carry brands like Keen, Merrell, Reef, and Vibram Five Fingers are just a few examples of the brands that we carry at the Kansas City shop. The secret to snowshoeing is patience. If you wait long enough the snow can melt and you can go regularshoeing.
I went climbing once and forgot to bring my rollerblades. My mom to me I shouldn't worry about it, but how was I supposed to climb without my lucky rollerblades? It was rough. Anyways, our Kansas City shop houses some of the top brands like Black Diamond, Metolius, Petzl, and Sterling. We've got you covered for wherever you may be going to climb. From harnesses to helmets our Kansas City shop staff will make sure you have all the necessities. Except rollerblades, you're on your own for those. Good luck trying to find a pair like mine.
The Moosejaw shop in Kansas City carries some of the best looking backpacks around. If you want my opinion, they are even better looking than my girlfriend at times. Don't tell her I said that. With brands like The North Face, Osprey, and Gregory ...how could they not be beautiful? Those curves on the packs will give you chills, not to mention what's inside. For example, there's a hidden compartment in one of the Osprey backpacks that I have, I've only been able to find it once. Luckily, I didn't put anything important in there. Just my house keys. Message me if you find the compartment I'm talking about, it's getting cold out here.
Since we've opened our Moosejaw shop, Kansas City has quickly grown in population. Coincidence? I don't really know. Anyways, we've got something for everyone. Yoga jackets by Prana, baselayers by Icebreaker, and those cute shorts we love to see the prettys in by Patagonia. Whether you're going for a hike to clear your head or to the bar because your boss just drew on your arm, stop in the Kansas City Moosejaw shop and we will outfit you from head to toe and make your day a little brighter. Or, we will just shoot a dart at your head and make your day a whole lot worse. Sorry ahead of time.

Author's Notes and Disclaimers: AU after "Chosen;" prequel
to my "Reward" fic. Spike was the only survivor of the closing of the Sunnydale
Hellmouth. What happens when he walks into a little church in Texas one
day a couple of decades later, looking for answers that he doesn't even know
the questions for?
Lampasas is a real town, although the church, the cemetery, and the pastor
are not. I hope the good folks in my old home town don't mind me borrowing
it for this fic. There is certainly no disrespect intended, and I have
nothing but affection for the place and the people there.
Well, duh, Spike's not mine. He belongs to Joss, Mutant Enemy, Buffy
(or Fred--hee hee), and whoever else holds the rights to his undead, lovely
self. I'll put him back when I'm done torturing him. Please don't sue me;
I don't have any money anyway. I'm certainly not making any from this drivel.
And now I'm going to stick the same disclaimer here as I stuck on my "Reward"
fic (if you've read that one, then you can skip this part): If you're
not open-minded enough to wrap your brain around a Christian Spike, then
this fic is not for you. There are over 19,000 other stories out there
just on this site; read one of them. It never fails to amaze me that people
don't even blink at a Jewish lesbian wicca...but are shocked and appalled
that a vampire with a troubled soul and a guilty conscience would seek out
God for forgiveness. Go figure.
I could have treated Spike's new conscience in several different ways.
I could have put him on a psychiatrist's couch and told him that it was
his mother's fault. I could have had him try to work out his own redemption
(and we all know how well that's going for Old Tall, Dark, and Broody).
I could have had him not deal with it at all. Or I could have done what
I did. If that makes me a "religious nut"....oh well. To me, it seemed
a logical progression in his spiritual journey--especially considering his
Victorian upbringing. Others may have a different view, and I can respect
that. Please respect mine.
I have been assured that I haven't "de-Spiked" him. So, if you have tolerance
for a viewpoint that may be slightly different from the norm, then please,
read on, and tell me what you think. Tell me especially how I can make
it better. But remember that name-calling only makes the person doing it
look small.
To any Christians who happen to stumble across this: I realize that I've
bent at least one rule and probably broken a couple of others beyond repair.
I'm working off the premise that a demon has the same free will that a
human does...they just don't exercise it very often. Spike represents a
rather unique conundrum, and I don't think the "normal" rules necessarily
apply to him.
OK. You're not here to read author's notes. On with the story!
Chapter One: Questions
I stopped my ancient black DeSoto on the outskirts of a dusty little town in Texas. Looking around, I thought that this didn't appear too promising. "Lampasas," the sign said. "Pop. 5,428."
I'd been wandering the globe for quite awhile now. One of the disadvantages to living forever is that you have all those memories to cart around with you wherever you go. You can leave the spot where the bad stuff happens, but forget? Never. Everything that took place on that fateful day was burned into my brain, as if it had occurred just yesterday, instead of over two decades before.
Buffy had said she loved me. That hurt worst of all. She finally admitted her feelings for me...right before she and everyone else I could possibly call a friend died there at the Hellmouth. What a bloody waste.
I'd thought about going up to LA to see Angel afterwards. Hell, he might have even done me the favor of dusting me. But no. There was no sense in adding to his own pain by showing up and reminding him of my miserable existence, when the one girl he cared about, his soulmate, was lying there at the bottom of a crater in Sunnydale, California. She'd been a Champion to the end.
They all had been.
See, this was what came of having a bloody soul. You started caring about the feelings of other people...even people you couldn't stand. Like my ponce of a Grandsire. I heard later that he got his Shanshu after averting an Armageddon of his own, and I was happy for him, in a way. At least someone in this world was getting something they deserved.
So, I'd cruised aimlessly about. Found my way up to Cleveland. The Hellmouth there was a bloody waste of time. I did away with a few nasties and moved on. They just didn't make apocalypses like they used to. Never did find out where the new Slayer was hanging her white hat. I'd heard rumors here and there, but didn't follow up on any of them. What was the point, after all? What was I going to do, waltz up to her and say, "Please don't dust me, I'm a vampire with a soul and I'm here to help you." She'd laugh in my face and stake me anyway, if she had any training at all.
Of course, with the Watcher's Council obliterated, there was a good chance that she didn't have any training. It was even possible that she had no idea who she was or what she was supposed to do. That was a lovely soddin' thought. A Slayer who didn't know she was called, fighting things that she had been told from birth didn't exist, but that were drawn to her because of who and what she was. What a travesty.
Giles, at least, had gotten his books out before Sunnydale was turned inside out. They were in a storage unit in Los Angeles. I'd pick them up if and when I ever settled down. I wasn't much for the research side of killing evil things, but I had to admit that the books would have come in handy on more than one occasion.
There was a lot of nowhere in Texas, and I was in the middle of it. Dawn was coming on, so I needed to find a place to hole up for the day. I tossed my cigarette out the window and drove into town.
The streets were by no means crowded, but a few cars were out. The little donut shop was open and doing brisk business in the predawn darkness. I wondered briefly what would get people around here up so bleedin' early, but then I realized that most of them were probably ranchers and getting up early was a way of life for them. Poor sods.
Well, this was another blink-and-you-miss-it town. I'd barely driven in before I drove out again. And there. That looked a bit of all right. A graveyard, with a couple of comfy-looking crypts. There was a church right next door, but I ignored that inconvenient fact for the moment.
I couldn't ignore it for long, though. The cemetery was beautiful...but it didn't have a place to park the car. I shrugged. Beggars couldn't be choosers, so I drove into the church parking lot. Two other cars were sitting there, but I pulled in as far away from them as I could.
My eyes were drawn to the big cross on the front of the church. The last time I'd had a close encounter with one of those was when I was out of my skull after getting my soul back. Sometimes I wished Buffy had just let me stay there and burn. It would have made my unlife easier. A little pain, a little fire, and then poof. No more Spike. What was it she'd said to the Bit up on Glory's tower? "The hardest thing in this life is to live in it." Bloody hell, she had that right.
I got out of the DeSoto and walked over to one of the mausoleums. And I was very surprised to find out it was locked. Locked! Who the hell locked a crypt? I tried the other one, and it was bolted too. Well, that was just great.
I looked over at the church again, half-hidden through the trees. The sun would be up in about two minutes and my options were narrowing. I didn't fancy staying in the car; it promised to be another sweltering, muggy day in Texas, and I knew only too well how hot the damn thing got in the sun.
Bugger it. I'd go into the church. If anyone bothered me, I'd just eat them. I hadn't eaten anyone for a very long time, but I could make an exception or two. I was tired, weary to the bone, and I plain didn't give a rip anymore.
At least the door to the church wasn't locked. I didn't know what day it was, but I was pretty sure it was a weekday, so it was nice that something was going right for me for once. I sat down in a pew and looked around.
It wasn't very big. In fact, it looked as though there were more people outside in the cemetery than would fit inside this building. A few rows of padded benches, a small stage, a podium. A huge, empty cross hanging on the wall behind the stage. A couple of stained-glass windows, up high. The standard pictures of Jesus on the walls--talking to children, walking on water, being baptized by John.
Up on the cross.
I tore my gaze away from that one. The likes of me had no business viewing that. I was a monster. I knew where I was going when I died...and it wasn't where Buffy had gone, for the second time.
"Sir?" She was small and plump and motherly, standing in the doorway next to the stage. "May I help you?"
"Not really. Just resting," I told her. "I'd really rather be left alone, if you don't mind."
"Are you sure? I could get the pastor..."
"Positive!" I barked, flashing fangs and ridges and yellow eyes. "Get out!"
The door slammed behind her, and I hoped she had sense enough to let it be.
Apparently not. I sighed when a fortyish man with sandy brown hair and glasses, wearing jeans and a plaid shirt and cowboy boots of all things, sat down in the pew in front of me, facing backwards and looking me up and down. "I thought I told her I wanted to be alone." God, I was worn out.
"You did," he said, playing with the eight-inch wooden cross he'd brought with him. He had a Texan accent to go with the clothes.
"Then what are you doing here? Can't a man come into a church for a little peace?"
"You're not a man."
"Touche." I stood up. "I expect you want me to leave. I suppose I can make it back to my car before I catch on fire."
"No." His head was cocked to one side, regarding me steadily with bright brown eyes. "No, I think you should stay. There's more to you than meets the eye, vampire."
Perceptive, this man of God was. More perceptive than most, anyway. "What do you see, then?"
"I see someone who's exhausted. I see someone who's seen more than anyone should ever see in a lifetime. I see someone who's looking for answers to questions he doesn't even know how to articulate." He paused. "I see a vampire with a soul, who's wondering why he even bothered to get it in the first place."
"Bloody hell." That hit a little too close to the mark. I sat back down. "What are you?"
"Just an ordinary pastor in an ordinary town. Who's seen some extraordinary things. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything as extraordinary as you, though. How did you do it?" He stopped. "No, I think the more important question is, why did you do it?"
I snorted. "Does it matter? I'm stuck with the sodding thing now, aren't I? Not exactly a man, not exactly a monster. Just...nothing."
"Oh, you're not 'nothing.' No being with a human soul is 'nothing.'" He stuck his hand out. "Tom Spencer."
I shook it, hardly believing what I was doing. "Spike. Just Spike. I haven't had a last name for a long time. Why are you doing this? Why do you care? I'm an evil creature who eats people to live. Well, used to eat people," I corrected myself. "But I've caused more pain and mayhem in my lifetime than you can know."
"Maybe it's just curiosity. Maybe something more. But if you answer my questions, I might be able to answer some of yours. If you want."
"Interview with the vampire? Pretty old hat, if you ask me."
He smiled, and I found myself liking him. "C'mon. What else do you have to do until sundown?"
He had me there. I gave him an evil grin, with a little yellow in the eyes just to test him, and said, "I suppose I could eat you and your secretary and burn your little church to the ground."
"Oh, you could. But you won't."
I put my hand over my eyes and sighed. "I'm not even remotely scary anymore, am I? Things have come to a pretty pass when I can't even intimidate...well, you. No offense."
"None taken. So, tell me. Why did you get it? The soul, I mean."
It had been so bloody long since I'd sat down and talked to anyone. This man should have hated me and everything I stood for. But he seemed to genuinely care. I decided for the moment not to analyze it and tell him what he wanted to know. In my own way, of course.
"Ever since I can remember, I've never been good enough. I wasn't good enough for Cecily. I was the laughingstock of the neighborhood I lived in, in London. I wasn't good enough for Dru...actually, strike that; I wasn't evil enough for Dru, although she put up with me for over a hundred years. And I certainly wasn't good enough for Buffy. I've spent my entire life, and most of my unlife, just trying to be good enough for the women in it. Largely unsuccessfully. I once called myself 'love's bitch.' It's still true, even if I haven't been in love with anyone for a long time."
"Tell me about Cecily. What was she like?"
"She was a stuck-up little bint, but I thought she was the be-all and end-all of women. She disdained me. I was 'beneath her.' And she let me know that in no uncertain terms the night I professed my love for her. I wrote her a terrible love poem and she laughed me out of the party we were at."
I wasn't good at self-analysis, but I was honest enough to know that I might have deserved what Cecily had said to me that night. That horrid poem had embarrassed both of us. Why in the hell had I thought that "effulgent" rhymed with "bulge in it"? Good God, I was an idiot. "Yeah, well. She may not have been nice about it, but I'm not sure she was wrong, either. I'm at a point in my unlife where I'm brutally candid with myself."
"What about Dru?"
"She loved me, I suppose. In her own demented way--for over a hundred years. She was a vampire, but she was also quite insane. Always hearing pixies and talking to the stars. She left me for a Chaos Demon after I made a deal with the Slayer. I saved both our hides, but she said I'd gone soft. Thing is, I hadn't gone soft. I'd always been soft--by vampire standards, anyway. I wasn't into the torture and the maiming like the rest of them were. The hunt, the kill...that was all fine and good, for food. Not for fun. I mean, I enjoyed a spot of violence as much as the next bloke, and I'd never run away from a fight, and I've started my share--but tie someone up and abuse them just for laughs? Not my gig."
"And Buffy?"
I slouched against the back of the pew. "Ah, the Slayer. Soft as a kitten, sharp as a steel blade. She had a big heart, that one...but it never belonged to me. Well, maybe at the end. She said she loved me; I suppose that counts for something or other."
"You don't sound like you believe that."
Have I said the man was perceptive? I'll say it again. He was. "I don't know what to believe any more. The night before the last battle, while everyone else in the house was shagging their brains out, we just held each other. It meant a lot to me that she trusted me enough to fall asleep in my arms, after--" I stopped, raw pain still fresh in my memory.
"After what, Spike? What did you do to her?" Tom's voice was gentle, drawing me out.
I took a deep breath. Surely he'd heard worse than this. Small towns were notorious for being filled with undercurrents of nastiness, and I was pretty sure this one was no different. "I almost raped her," I said softly. "We'd been...she'd been...Bloody hell." How to tell a minister of the word of God, who probably thought that just being a vampire meant a trip straight to the nether regions (not that he was wrong about that), that the Slayer and I had enjoyed a sexual relationship that began and ended with violence? That Buffy's well-meaning friends had ripped her out of Heaven, and so she used my undead body to feel alive? That I tolerated being used in that manner by her because I was a lovesick puppy starving for any bone that she might be willing to throw me? How could I put that into words in a way that this good, decent man would understand just what we had all been going through that turbulent year? I didn't even understand a lot of it myself.
I jumped to my feet, making him twitch, although he recovered well. "Is there a place here where I can smoke? I really need one right now."
"My office," he said, surprising me. "I find it helps people to open up if they can do something that relaxes them while they're talking to me. Let's go."
The chairs in his office were a lot more comfortable than the pew, too. Books lined floor to ceiling shelves. He had a pretty good stereo system, along with a television and a DVD player, and a computer sat on his desk. A small refrigerator squatted in one corner, with a coffee maker with a full pot on top. And there was an extraordinary portrait of Jesus, head thrown back and laughing, on his wall.
"Can I get you anything? Coffee, a soda? I'm afraid I don't have any blood, assuming that's what you drink."
"No thanks, I'm good." I sat down and lit a cigarette, the soothing smoke acting like a balm to my mental turmoil. This persistent pastor was dredging up way too many painful memories.
"So. You almost raped her...and she forgave you."
"Yeah. How the bloody hell did she do that? I didn't deserve to be forgiven. I deserved to be staked."
"Sometimes forgiveness isn't granted because it's deserved. It's granted because it's needed."
What had Buffy said about it? "It's different. He's different." And I was. But not that different. Did the addition of a soul mean so much? Yeah, it was easier for me to hold the demon back, but other than that, I actually felt mostly the same. I must have gotten a defective demon or something when Dru turned me.
"It was after I almost raped her that I went and got the soul. I never wanted to do that to her again. I wanted to give her what she deserved. And she deserved a man, not a monster." I took another drag from my cigarette. "Of course...now I'm neither. Too much monster to be man, too much man to be monster."
"You've got a bad case of the in-betweens," Tom said, sipping his coffee. "But from what you've told me, I don't think it started with the soul."
"We once raised a demon who was going to destroy humankind, Dru and me," I reflected. "He could suck the humanity out of a vampire and turn him to dust from the inside out. He killed Dalton, our researcher, by doing that. He couldn't touch Angelus--but he said that the love that Dru and I felt for each other reeked of humanity. He wanted to kill us, but I reminded him exactly who had brought him forth and he backed off."
"Honor among demons. Interesting."
"We have a code of sorts. It gets broken on whim, of course, but it is there."
"So apparently most vampires have some degree or other of humanity."
"I wouldn't say most. Some, certainly." I put my cigarette out and jerked my head at the portrait of the laughing Man on the wall. "What would He say about you talking to me like this?"
"We've had our share of vampires in this town," the pastor answered me. "Why do you think I keep the crypts locked? In ordinary circumstances I'd stake one without even thinking twice about it. You're not ordinary. You have a human soul. And therefore...it can be redeemed."
I was lighting another cigarette when he said that, and I nearly choked on it. "You want to save my soul? What in bloody hell for? Good God, man, do you have any idea what I've done? Does the phrase 'Scourge of Europe' give you any mental images?"
He shrugged. "Sure it does. I'm sure you deserve the death penalty many times over. This isn't about what you deserve. No one deserves salvation. Not me, not Nancy, whom you scared half to death awhile ago...and not you. If God gave us what we deserved, every one of us would have a one-way ticket straight to Hell." He gave me a straight, steady stare. "But God loves us too much for that."
"Even me?"
"Even you."
No one had ever told me that before. Even growing up in Victorian England, I'd never heard it put quite that way. My human self wasn't a stranger to the basic message, but my demon had never entertained the hope that he was going anyplace that wasn't full of fire and torment.
Wait a minute. Tom had said "you." He hadn't specified which of "me" he meant. The half of me that was William had a certain amount of affection for the other half of me, and wasn't sure he wanted to go anywhere without Spike--who was a demon, and therefore by definition belonged someplace other than Heaven. I couldn't leave that alone. "All right, Cleric. But which 'me' does God love? Does he love just the human part of me, that soul? I wouldn't even have that soul if it weren't for the demon going out and getting it. Which wasn't easy, by the way."
Tom leaned forward. "So, what you're saying is, you basically have two entities living inside your body. The demon that animates it, and the soul that he somehow won."
"And they don't fight? I did a little research after our little vampire infestation, and I read about a vampire that had a soul...but he was a monster through and through, without it. It sounds like you're different."
"You mean Peaches? Oh, yeah, he was a barrel of laughs, that one. A thoroughgoing bastard when that soul didn't rein him in. But gypsies cursed him with his soul, and I went out and got mine on purpose."
"I see. So you knew him. And you had a nickname for him."
Did I want to get into my complicated relationship with my Grandsire? No, I certainly did not. "Let's just say that we crossed paths a few times and leave it at that. No love lost between me and him." I blew out a stream of smoke. "And I have nicknames for bloody everyone."
"You don't want to talk about it."
"No, I don't. I haven't seen him for over twenty years, and I haven't missed him a bit. He's all human and everything now, anyway. Got his reward from the Powers, he did." Tom looked interested when I said that, but respected my desire to not get into it any deeper than that. I hadn't been there when it happened anyway, so I don't know what I could have told him. I had the feeling that he was going to be doing some more research when I left, though. "Right, then. Does God love both of me? Or just the human part?"
The pastor gazed at me over the rim of his coffee mug. "There's a question for the ages. You do realize that God created you." It wasn't a question. "You must have been part of that original rebellion, when Lucifer tried to usurp the Throne."
I frowned. "I don't really remember much about that. After it happened, we got partitioned off." I tried to remember, but couldn't recall anything from after my very hazy memories of the rebellion, until I clawed my way out of my grave in 1880. What had old Lucifer done then? Put us in a deep freeze, or some kind of stasis? Bloody hell. Who knew, and You're thinking too much again, Spike, I told myself. "Guess I picked the wrong side in that battle. Does that mean I'm doomed for all eternity, or do I have a chance? And if I have a chance, and I take it...would that turn me into a bloody poof of some kind of angelic being, or do I get to keep my personality? Which I've grown rather attached to."
Tom looked at me oddly. "You'd pick your personality over going to Heaven?"
"Not necessarily. Just want to know what I'm getting into. I have a nasty habit of going off half-cocked, and I don't want to do that again."
"Understood. Anyway, when I said God created you, I had a reason. And my reason was that He doesn't just stop loving those He's created just because we stray from the path He's set for us." He gave me a wry grin. "And I think that Michael and Gabriel would probably object to being referred to as 'bloody poofs.'"
I got a brief mental image of righteous anger and flaming swords, and hastily recanted those words. "Good point." I put my cigarette out and stood up. "Well, Cleric. You've given me quite a bit to mull over. Got a place I can hole up for the rest of the day and think about it?"
"We have a classroom that won't be in use until Sunday. You're welcome to stay in there. No windows, so you don't have to worry about the sun. And here." He handed me a Bible. "I've marked a few passages in here that might be of interest to you. If you have any questions I'll be around most of the day."
I tilted my head at him. "Thank you," I said simply.
"It's what I do," he answered.
Author's Note: I'll post the second and final chapter soon....

As far as I can tell, JSProperty always holds a Shape or the values 0 or 1. When it holds 1, we're always dealing with non-native objects where we never look at the shape anyway. So we could replace 1 with anything as long as it's not 0, which denotes "not found."
This patch converts every instance of JSProperty to Shape. And it roots the Shape and passes it through handles. In the places where we used to use (JSProperty*)1, I instead just stuck an arbitrary Shape. I think this is okay.

Double yay! We should have holiday traditions of shoveling obsolete code out of the engine.

This and other non-native lookups should use some unwieldy common function like MarkNonNativeLookupSuccess, with a comment explaining what's going on.
Had to back this out.
Shouldn't this be reopened?
