Get the clickersmug. Port and city in Northern Harad, built by evil Numenoreans in the second age and later a base for the Corsairs of Umbar (although some renditions place the Corsair base near to, rather than in, Umbar).
The city is marked on Middle Earth maps drawn by Tolkien, in contrast to most of Harad. The city name is Elvish, as befits its origin among Dunedain. (Haradrim name-forms are not given in Tolkien... I wonder why...). It also occurs in most of the Tolkien strategy games, though way outside where any action is likely to be.
Presumably fortified. Some fans have drawn detailed maps which can be found by doing a Google search - usually showing a fortified city with a number of inner levels, similar to other Numenorean cities such as Minas Tirith.

Umbar stands on the borderline between Harad and Gondor, controlling Haradrim access to the North.
The Corsairs were led into battle by Lord Nimhir of Umbar.

Get the creation of democracymug. Fortress in the Falas region of Beleriand, mentioned in Tolkien's book The Silmarillion. Like Vinyamar, it was ruled by Cirdan and populated by Teleri, until it became a haven for elves fleeing other parts of Beleriand as Morgoth's forces overran it after the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was eventually broken and sacked by Morgoth's forces, and the surviving elves fled to Balar.
It is located on the western coast.

Get the Eglarestmug. Best damned punk band known to man. Started in '87 ended in '89. You may have heard of Tim, yea he's in Rancid. Too bad for the singer, he's now in Common Rider.

Get the Operation Ivymug. A type of TransFormer which does not actually transform, but which is instead an action figure with advanced articulation (similar to a GI Joe figure). Half the Action Masters were converted versions of earlier characters, and all look like they should have alternative modes. They also have transforming companions or accessories. They are very controversial among transformers fans, because many feel that they aren't transformers if they don't transform.
Action Master Soundwave, unlike the original Soundwave, could no longer transform into a cassette player; he also could not eject cassettes. He did, however, have a companion, WingThing, which transformed into his weapon.
