High Blood Pressure: Using the DASH Diet
- The DASH diet focuses on foods that are high in calcium, potassium, and magnesium. These nutrients can lower blood pressure.
- Taking calcium, potassium, and magnesium supplements doesn't have the same effect as eating foods that are high in those nutrients.
- Don't make big changes in your diet all at once. Make small changes, and don't give up. As soon as those changes become habit, add a few more changes.
- You'll have more success if you make a plan that includes long-term and short-term goals as well as ideas for getting past barriers—things that might get in the way of changing your eating habits.
- Support from family and friends can go a long way toward helping you find success in changing your habits. Don't be afraid to let family and friends know what you're trying to do. And ask for their help.
DASH is an eating plan that can help lower your blood pressure. DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. Hypertension is high blood pressure.
The DASH eating plan focuses on foods that are high in calcium, potassium, and magnesium. These nutrients can lower blood pressure. The foods that are highest in these nutrients are fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, nuts, seeds, and beans. Taking calcium, potassium, and magnesium supplements instead of eating these foods does not have the same effect.
|Recommended servings
Low-fat and fat-free milk and milk products
2 to 3 servings a day
A serving is 8 ounces of milk, 1 cup of yogurt, or 1 1/2 ounces of cheese.
4 to 5 servings a day
A serving is 1 medium-sized piece of fruit, 1/2 cup chopped or canned fruit, 1/4 cup dried fruit, or 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of fruit juice. Choose fruit more often than fruit juice.
4 to 5 servings a day
A serving is 1 cup of lettuce or raw leafy vegetables, 1/2 cup of chopped or cooked vegetables, or 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of vegetable juice. Choose vegetables more often than vegetable juice.
6 to 8 servings a day
A serving is 1 slice of bread, 1 ounce of dry cereal, or 1/2 cup of cooked rice, pasta, or cooked cereal. Try to choose whole-grain products as much as possible.
Meat, poultry, fish
No more than 2 servings a day
A serving is 3 ounces, about the size of a deck of cards
Legumes, nuts, seeds
4 to 5 servings a week
A serving is 1/3 cup of nuts, 2 tablespoons of seeds, or 1/2 cup cooked dried beans or peas.
Fats and oils
2 to 3 servings a day
A serving is 1 teaspoon of soft margarine or vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, or 2 tablespoons of salad dressing.
Sweets and added sugars
5 servings a week or less
A serving is 1 tablespoon of jelly or jam, 1/2 cup of sorbet, or 1 cup of lemonade.
The DASH eating plan is one of several lifestyle changes your doctor may recommend.
Your doctor may also want you to decrease the amount of sodium you eat. Lowering sodium while following the DASH plan can lower blood pressure even further than just the DASH plan alone. For good health, less sodium is best. Try to eat less than 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease, if you are African-American, or if you are older than age 50, try to limit the amount of sodium you eat to less than 1,500 mg a day.1

Test Your Knowledge
Taking calcium, potassium, and magnesium supplements will lower my blood pressure just as well as the DASH plan will.
This answer is incorrect.
Calcium, potassium, and magnesium are nutrients that lower blood pressure. It's good to get these nutrients from a balanced diet. Taking supplements does not have the same effect.
This answer is correct.
Calcium, potassium, and magnesium are nutrients that lower blood pressure. It's good to get these nutrients from a balanced diet. Taking supplements does not have the same effect.
Fat-free milk is an important part of the DASH plan.
Not eating enough potassium, calcium, and magnesium may help cause high blood pressure. These nutrients come from fruits, vegetables, and dairy products.
Researchers believe that it is the combination of 8 to 10 servings a day of fruits and vegetables and 3 servings of low-fat or nonfat dairy products that causes the DASH eating plan to lower blood pressure. Simply taking calcium, potassium, and magnesium supplements does not lower blood pressure.
Good sources
All fresh fruits and vegetables
Low-fat and nonfat dairy products
Legumes (cooked dried beans and peas), seeds, nuts, halibut, milk, yogurt, brown rice, potatoes, tomatoes, bananas, watermelon, leafy green vegetables
Test Your Knowledge
A balanced, low-fat eating plan that contains 8 to 10 servings each day of fresh fruits and vegetables and 3 servings each day of low-fat or fat-free dairy foods can help me lower my high blood pressure.
This answer is correct.
Many people don't get enough potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Eating 8 to 10 servings each day of fresh fruits and vegetables and 3 servings each day of low-fat or nonfat dairy products can lower blood pressure.
This answer is incorrect.

Setting goals
You'll have more success in changing your eating habits if you make a plan. The plan should include long-term and short-term goals as well as ideas for getting past barriers—things that might get in the way of changing your eating habits.
What is your long-term goal? A long-term goal is something you want to reach in 6 to 12 months. When you have high blood pressure, the long-term goal is to lower your blood pressure to a specific level. Talk to your doctor about what your specific long-term goal should be.
What are the short-term goals that will help you reach your long-term goal? Short-term goals keep you going day to day. They are usually goals you hope to reach tomorrow or next week.
Look at the DASH eating plan. Come up with a short-term goal that looks pretty easy. For example, you might decide that your first short-term goal will be to eat 4 servings of vegetables every day. As soon as you've made those extra vegetables a habit, you can add another short-term goal.
Eating with DASH
Here are some ideas for eating with the DASH plan:
- Drink fat-free milk. A glass of fat-free milk has only 80 calories and no fat. It's packed with nutrients that lower blood pressure. Have a "skinny" latte (made with fat-free milk) as a way to add milk to your diet. If you don't drink coffee, try a skinny steamed milk or chai drink.
- Make a baked potato bar. Serve baked potatoes with a variety of vegetables, such as broccoli. And use other toppings, such as low-fat shredded cheese, chili, salsa, and refried beans. If you use toppings from a can or jar, be sure to choose low-sodium varieties. Or even better, make them yourself from fresh ingredients. Be creative. You could end up with 4 or 5 servings of vegetables at one meal.
- Eat a variety of cut-up vegetables with a low-fat dip such as hummus. Try some new vegetables. Make a stir-fry with lots of different vegetables.
- Buy a vegetarian cookbook, and try one recipe each month or each week.
- Add garbanzo beans (chickpeas) to a salad, use fat-free refried beans, and/or make split pea or black bean soup.
- Combine a ready-made pizza crust with low-fat mozzarella cheese and lots of vegetable toppings. Use tomatoes, zucchini, spinach, carrots, cauliflower, and onions.
- For breakfast, have whole-grain cereal, fruit, and low-fat or fat-free milk.
- Take fruit to work or school as a snack.
- Make a dip for fruit from low-fat or nonfat vanilla yogurt and cinnamon.
Many people find that it helps to write down everything they eat every day. That way they can easily see how much of each food group they've eaten and where they need to add or cut back tomorrow.
A registered dietitian can work with you to change your eating habits and help you plan menus that follow the DASH eating style. Ask your doctor to recommend someone.

Dealing with barriers and slip-ups
Take the time to think about what things could get in the way of your success. These are called barriers. And by thinking about them now, you can plan ahead for how to deal with them if they happen.
An example of a barrier might be eating in restaurants. If you do that a lot, you may want to plan ahead for how you will stay on your DASH plan when you eat out. Possible solutions could include:
- Eat out less often.
- Look at menus ahead of time to find dishes you can eat and still stay on your eating plan.
- Find new restaurants that offer vegetarian and low-fat dishes.
It's perfectly normal to try something, stop it, and then get mad at yourself. Lots of people have to try and try again before they reach their goals.
- If you feel like giving up, don't waste energy feeling bad about yourself. Remember your reason for wanting to change, think about the progress you've made, and give yourself a pep talk and a pat on the back. Then you may feel like trying again.
- When you hit a barrier—and most people do—get support. Talk to your family members and friends to see if someone wants to eat healthy foods with you or cheer you on.
- Don't forget little rewards. Something to look forward to can keep you moving right along.
Getting support
Having a lot of support can make it easier to change your eating habits. For example, if family members tell you that they love how you're getting healthier, you may be motivated to keep up the good work. Here are some other ways to get support:
- Work with a partner. It's motivating to know that someone is sharing the same goals.
- Friends and family members can eat healthy meals with you. They can encourage you by saying how they admire you for making hard changes.
- Join a class or support group. People in these groups often have some of the same barriers you have.
- Don't forget to reward yourself. When you reach one of your goals, give yourself a present. Buy a new healthy cookbook. Go to the movies. Or just take some time for yourself. Do whatever it takes to remind yourself that you've been meeting your goals. You're successful!
Staying with it
It can be frustrating to start a new project like healthy eating and then have to stop because something gets in the way—illness, travel, or even just boredom. Your goal is to get back in the habit and make it a routine part of your life.
Remember that you can't create a habit overnight. Keep at it, even if you slip up along the way. It can take as long as 3 months of repetition to form a habit, so every day is a step in the right direction.
When you slip up, don't get mad at yourself or feel guilty. Think of it as a learning experience. Figure out what happened. Why did you stop? Think of ways to get yourself going again. Learn from your slip-ups so that you can keep on toward your goal of healthy eating.
Test Your Knowledge
The best way to deal with barriers is to wait until they happen and then worry about how to get around them.
This answer is incorrect.
By thinking about barriers ahead of time, you can plan ahead for how to deal with them if they happen. And then you'll be more likely to have success in getting around them.

I agree, but even beyond elegance, I wish people more thought into what they're wearing. If they're edgy, or ethereal or elegant, just think about what you're wearing and what you're communicating.

I have seen so many stunning women in the 90's and 100's on the Advanced Style blog that I no longer fear getting to that age.
These women take pride in their appearance and keep themselves vital and involved with life. They are so inspirational.

I so agree! I seem to be the last in my family to dress up even for the most important occasions. I wear sarongs, saris, haori (my draped clothing) almost all the time. I am an artist with my own style and wish that more people stopped following the trend of boring clothing.
I hope to be among your Advanced Style Set once I reach the appropriate age.

The rocks of the wall near Davis Hall, home of
of Civil and Environmental
Engineering, are vesicular basalts.
Note the porosity due to escaping volcanic gases at the time the
basalt was extruded. These rocks are similar to basalts found
elsewhere in the Berkeley Hills. The volcanism resulted from the subduction of the Farallon Plate under the North American
Plate. You can see evidence of the volcanism at the
Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, part of the
East Bay Regional Park
District. Remnants of the Farallon
plate (called the Gorda, Juan de Fuca, and Explorer plates) are still actively subducting from northern
California to British Columbia today.
Davis Hall itself is home to several laboratories for earthquake
engineering research, including the Structures and
Materials Laboratories and the Geotechnical Engineering
Laboratory. Other earthquake engineering research facilities
are located at the Richmond Field Station, including the
Earthquake Simulator Laboratory.

Engineered for the harshest UV conditions, the O'Neill Men's O'Zone Long Sleeve Crew Rashguard W/Hood keeps you protected under the sun during every water activity.
Mostly Satisfied
I do like the color/appearance/fit. Minor complaint is that the visor is already starting to tear off - about an inch torn loose on each side of brim. Hope it ceases at this point. Other note is that wearing rashguard inside wetsuit with windsurfing harness puts some pressure on the plastic fastener for the back pocket - minor comfort annoyance only.

Great for SUP
Great for Stand up Paddle boarding. I use it every time I am surfing ( 3 - 4 times weekly) and the protection from the Florida sun is exactly what I expected and needed according to my dermatologist, who I have to see way to often because I did not buy something like this years ago. I am 5" 11", 175#, the fit is very snug, I bought the medium, which is perfect but to get it on sometimes is a stretch, literally, to pull it down over the back because of the binding on the bottom wrinkles up.

Jack O'Neill began surfing in 1952, before functional surf apparel was invented. While working for the Army Air Corps, O'Neill discovered neoprene foam in a DC-3 airplane. He then combined the neoprene carpeting with duct tape to create the first neoprene wetsuit.
Demand for O'Neill's neoprene wetsuits grew rapidly and he began a business selling the O'Neill wetsuits out of his garage. By 1980, he was a leader in the beach apparel industry with a thriving business. Since then, O'Neill™ has become a widely recognized and respected brand in the surf industry, continually creating new and innovative products. In addition to O'Neill wetsuits, they carry O'Neill boardshorts, O'Neill dresses, O'Neill hats, O'Neill rash guards, O'Neill swimsuits, O'Neill water shoes, O'Neill sandals, O'Neill life jackets and O'Neill t-shirts.
In addition to his business success, O'Neill also created a non-profit foundation for kids. O'Neill developed the O'Neill Sea Odyssey Program: a free, educational cruise that introduces kids to the microbiology of the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary, beginning at Jack O'Neill's doorstep.

Drug War Crimes
Recorded: Thursday, May 6, 2004
Each year, the U.S. government spends over $30 billion on the drug war and arrests more than 1.5 million people on drug-related charges. Currently more than 318,000 people are behind bars in the U.S. for drug violationsmore than the number of people incarcer-ated for all crimes in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain combined. Have current drug laws deterred drug abuse and reduced crime? What are the real costs of this countrys war on drugs? Is there a link between the homicide rate and the amount of resources given to drug prohibition? Please join us as Boston University economist Jeffrey Miron (author of the major new book, Drug War Crimes) and former San Jose police chief, Joseph McNamara, examine these questions and explore real alternatives to Americas War on Drugs.
Jeffrey A. Miron

Thanksgiving is the worst song ever featuring the little-known twelve-year-old attention whore Nicole Westbrook. She has been placed on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted list and is currently being hunted down for ruining a perfectly good holiday with her shitty music. Better alive than else, the reward for her capture is one dollar and twenty-five cents, which is all the FBI could cough up after paying off those hookers.
The song
"Thanksgiving" was written and staged by the already well-known "music" pioneer and prominent she-male Patrice Wilson and his ARK Music Factory (the same people who blessed us with the now-critically acclaimed best-selling Friday by Rebecca Black, an equally shitty music artist). The song's powerful message is as follows:
"Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh, oh yeah Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Alright Come on"
These words describe the passionate, deep
orgasms Thanksgiving traditions of the Westbrook family. Many of the viewers of the video on YouTube expressed their love for Nicole's meaningful lyrics:
"I love this song so much, it makes me want to cry. You go Nicole!"
"This is teh best song evarr!!!1!1!!!1111!!"
Nicole earlier released a video in 2011 claiming that her father had died of asbestos from the 9/11 attacks, we now know this is not true, as her father's death certificate stated "death by smelling Eau de Pato, also known as mustard gas." One might think this would have prevented Mr. Westbrook from commenting on his daughter's new video, yet he did anyway:
"I'm burning in Hell right now for creating you, and now that you produced this sh*t, you're coming with me!"
The video
The official music video for "Thanksgiving" features Nicole going through the motions of a boring and drab Thanksgiving holiday. NAW! Just kiddin'. That would be too good of a video. Let's see what really happened:
The beginning of the video starts with a sliding view of a November 2013 calendar (even though this video was released 15 days before Thanksgiving 2012). Nicole than picks up a Sharpie and crosses out the date for Thanksgiving 2013, which is odd, because unless she can time-travel... Moving along. Nicole than has several repeated mini-seizures or quick orgasms with no stimulation, as she continually utters "oh oh oh" for approximately 10 seconds. A wide awake Nicole says "I'm wide awake" and than utters some placeholder lines that rhyme with the first line as to create a good run-up to the chorus. One might also note that Nicole's face looks like a mirror coated in Canola oil for the duration of these lines.
The chorus is a lyrically retarded run-over of a select few holidays (only the Christian and American ones). This transitions to a scene where Nicole, un-supervised, makes her own mashed potatoes, stuffing, and bakes her own turkey (on an unrelated note, the head of the FDA resigned shortly after "Thanksgiving" was released), which is a great way to shove children's integrity back in the world's face. This scene's lyrics are repeated fifteen times until Nicole passed out while shooting the video. Next scene.
Nicole reminds us that her favorite holiday is _____, at which point Pato (Patrice's catchy nickname) dives in just and cuts her off with the chorus. Nicole begins spazzing out (in this case referred to as "rapping") after a prayer at the Thanksgiving table, and proudly proclaims that she has mutha-fuckin' MASHED POTATOES on her TABLE! The shit, man!
Then the song ends, and the person listening either immediately shakes their head in disgust or dies. There is no positive reaction to this masterpiece of despise. Just sorrow and mourning for the death of our good music industry since the early 2000s. RIP, good music, RIP...From the beginning of time-2000. RIP...

text: Mass Effect 3 review Game Reviews 09 March 12 by Kyle Orland Electronic Arts 8/10 Wired rating Wired Focus on moral decision making that doesn't just focus on epic, galaxy-saving issues. Improvements to player movement make you feel more like an action hero. Wraps up a wide range of sprawling subplots without straying too far from the main story. Detailed, natural backstory explanation for both series newcomers and long-time fans. Enemies are more varied and aggressive in attacking your position. Streamlined menus and interfaces for common tasks. "Story" difficulty setting for shooting neophytes that want to experience the narrative. Tired Cover system can still be frustratingly wonky. Enemy forces don't get harder so much as more numerous. Slight delay in response to Kinect voice commands makes them practically useless. Can be hard to tell what bits of the story you have the power to change. Price Mass Effect 3 starts out at a disadvantage thanks to the weight of expectation larded on it by the first two games in the series. Not only does the game have to wrap up a sprawling, galaxy-spanning storyline in a satisfying way, but it has to do so while avoiding gameplay that obsessive fans will see as "more of the same" after spending dozens of hours with the first two titles.Mass Effect 3 manages to live up to those expectations, but not without some frustrations at the seams. It's far from a perfect game, but it holds up as a well-constructed conclusion to a much-loved series.Saving the Galaxy The game starts off with a bang, as the life-eradicating Reapers finally make the assault on galactic civilisation threatened throughout the series. During a dramatic attack on Earth -- serving as the game's seamless tutorial -- Commander Shepard is called back into active military service as the only person with the credentials and reputation to unite the galaxy's various bickering races into some sort of coherent front (against an existential threat they haven't sufficiently prepared for, naturally). Humans-first group Cerberus plays the spoiler role this time around, working against Shepard and the Alliance in an attempt to control the Reapers rather than destroy them.Often, securing the help of one race means utterly screwing over another, setting up the kind of Moral Dilemmas With Far-Reaching Consequences (tm) BioWare games are known for (I'm staying necessarily vague in discussing the story here to avoid giving away too much). The game does a good job telegraphing these major decision moments, naturally laying out all of the interspecies backstory necessary so that even newcomers to the series will understand what's at stake. For series fans, the game also throws in quite a bit of previously unknown background that might even impact the way you look what transpired in previous games.Subtle Decision Aside from these major decision points, which are practically highlighted with flashing, red neon "THIS IS IMPORTANT" signs, the game was almost too subtle in showing the player how seemingly minor decisions would play out across the timeline. Most of the decisions I was allowed to make in conversations and cut scenes seemed relatively immaterial, representing two different branches that quickly end up back on the same conversational pathway. Yet, there was a constant, nagging voice in the back of my head wondering whether some earlier decision (or set of decisions) could have changed the outcome of some relatively key events. That nagging voice was usually balanced out by another that said: "No, this event is too crucial to the story to have happened any other way."The thing is, both of these voices were quite often wrong. Bits of the story I thought were crucial and absolutely inevitable turned out to be completely reversible, as I found when I compared notes with other reviewers. Other major moments, which I figured I could have changed with a different set of choices, turned out to be seemingly necessary waypoints in the story's development -- at least as far as I could tell from reloading earlier saves and trying a different tack.Obsessive players will of course map out the entire possibility space of Mass Effect 3's ever-branching story lines soon after release. Players will no doubt want to use multiple playthroughs to see just how much things can change. Still, the situations at which you seem to bump up against the limits of where a completely interactive narrative can really go left me with the persistent sense I was missing a lot during my first playthrough. It's a feeling that lasted right through to the surprisingly direct ending, which I found somewhat unsatisfying from a narrative point of view -- and even more unsatisfying because I was relatively sure it wasn't the "good" (i.e. "true") ending developers intended.A small-scale focus But the decision-making in Mass Effect 3 isn't all on the same level of galaxy-shaking importance. While wandering around crowded shopping and living areas, Shepard frequently stumbles into discussions where galactic citizens argue over ancillary issues brought up by the war: whether two cops should still bother with petty crimes when civilisation itself is under attack; whether two civilians should relocate to a safe house or sign up to fight. Shepard gets to lend her support to either side of these everyday arguments, a nice touch that lets the player consider how a galaxy-wide war is affecting the people off the battlefield as well as on it. The game's focus also zooms down to a more personal scale through Shepard's shipmates, many of whom are familiar faces making return appearances from earlier Mass Effect games (presuming they didn't already die in the save you import from Mass Effect 2). The game does a good job weaving major subplots for these characters into the larger story without requiring the player to go off on distracting, character-focused side missions. There are also plenty of opportunities for optional shipboard conversations that help flesh out their motivations and traits in some surprising ways. By the end, there's barely a major character arc that hasn't been wrapped up with some kind of a pretty little bow. Even though some of these conclusions are handled more awkwardly than others, there's a palpable sense of closure in seeing all of these subplots through to the end.

- "Harren the Black thought this castle would be his legacy. The greatest fortress ever built: the tallest towers, the strongest walls. The Great Hall had thirty-five hearths. Thirty-five, can you imagine? Look at it now...a blasted ruin."
- ―Tywin Lannister to Arya Stark
Harrenhal is a huge castle, the largest one in all of Westeros, though it is also the most ill-omened. It is located on the northern shore of the Gods Eye lake at the heart of the Riverlands, south of the River Trident and northwest of King's Landing.
It was built centuries earlier by King Harren the Black. He was betrayed by his bannermen during the War of Conquest and the castle was largely melted by dragonfire: while Harren had thought the castle's walls were tall enough to withstand any assault, he neglected to consider that the Targaryens' dragons could fly right over them. As a result Harrenhal is half-ruined, with stone towers melted and twisted by the flames of the dragons, giving it an ominous and nightmarish appearance. No lord has held the castle for long since Harren's death.
Aegon the Conqueror granted Harrenhal to his bannermen of House Qoherys, which eventually became extinct. They were followed by Houses Towers, Harroway, Strong, and Lothston. All of them, like the Hoares and Qoherys before them, died out, leading to the castle of be considered a cursed place. Several tales are told of Harrenhal, including the tale of Mad Lady Lothston, the flaming ghosts of Harren and his sons, and of servants who go to sleep and are found turned to ashes the following day.[1]
Harrenhal is seen as something of a white elephant: while it is technically the biggest castle in Westeros, it is so ridiculously large that the surrounding area cannot possibly produce the necessary food to support the massive army needed to fully man it. Rulers of Harrenhal usually lose money and resources simply by possessing it. As a result, Harrenhal is rarely if ever fully manned. Moreover, it was never fully repaired after being blasted with dragonfire by the Targaryens three hundred years ago, which combined with the fact that the garrison is never as large as the fortifications require, means that Harrenhal really isn't one of the most defensibly formidable castles in Westeros.[2]
By the time of the War of the Five Kings, Harrenhal was held by House Whent, until they were stripped of it and the castle was given to House Slynt as a reward for Janos Slynt's betrayal of Eddard Stark.[3] However, due to the area being a warzone, Slynt never actually occupied the castle and was stripped of it when Janos Slynt was sent to the Wall. In Season 2, it is used as the main forward base for Tywin Lannister's army in the Riverlands during his campaign against Robb Stark. However, the Lannisters later withdraw their forces to defend King's Landing in the decisive Battle of the Blackwater. At the beginning of Season 3 the abandoned castle is re-captured by the Northern army (in particular, Robb Stark's maternal grandmother was a Whent, so he has some direct claim to the castle), and Robb leaves a detachment of the Northern army under Roose Bolton to hold the castle.
Season 1
Catelyn Stark recognises a knight of Harrenhal at the Crossroads Inn and asks him if he is loyal to Lady Whent and Catelyn's father, Whent's liege lord. When he replies this is the case, she asks his aid in restraining Tyrion Lannister and receives it.[4]
King Joffrey Baratheon gives the castle of Harrenhal to Janos Slynt, commander of the City Watch, for his part in betraying Eddard Stark.[5]
Following the Lannister defeat at the Battle of the Whispering Wood, Lord Tywin Lannister announces that he will take his army of 30,000 men, capture Harrenhal and use it as the forward base for his army in the Riverlands while Robb Stark's numerically superior forces consolidate near Riverrun.[6]
Season 2
Arya Stark, Gendry, and Hot Pie are taken prisoner and taken to Harrenhal.[7]
Tyrion Lannister offers Harrenhal to Petyr Baelish along with lordship over all of the Riverlands in exchange for his aid in the release of Jaime Lannister.[8]
After the Battle of the Blackwater, King Joffrey grants Harrenhal to Lord Baelish for his aid in arranging the Lannister-Tyrell alliance.[9]
Season 3
The Northern army prepares to seize Harrenhal, only to find that Ser Gregor Clegane has already abandoned the castle and put all the Northern and Riverlands prisoners to the sword.[10]
After receiving news of the death of Lord Hoster Tully, Robb Stark departs from Harrenhal.[11] Lord Roose Bolton remains in command of the ruined castle, along with a portion of the northern army.[12]
Notable residents of Harrenhal
- Lady Shella Whent, called "Old Lady Whent", the former Lady of Harrenhal and head of House Whent. Presumably deceased.
Lannister occupation
- Lord Tywin Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, Lord Paramount of the Westerlands and Warden of the West. Made Harrenhal his seat while waging war in the Riverlands. Now in King's Landing.

- Ser Gregor Clegane, called "the Mountain That Rides" or "the Mountain", Lord Tywin's sworn sword, now castellan of Harrenhal.
- {The Tickler}, a torturer in the Lannister army. Killed by Jaqen H'ghar.
- Weasel, a gaoler.
- Ser {Amory Lorch}, a knight sworn to Lord Tywin. Poisoned by Jaqen H'ghar.
- Polliver, a man-at-arms serving under Ser Amory.
- Jaqen H'ghar, a Lorathi criminal recruited into the Lannister army. Actually a Faceless Man. Whereabouts unknown.
- Rorge and Biter, King's Landing criminals recruited into the Lannister army. Whereabouts unknown.
- Arya Stark, disguised as a commoner and made Lord Tywin's cupbearer. Escaped into the Riverlands.
Northern occupation
- Lord Roose Bolton, Lord of the Dreadfort, holding the castle in the name of Robb Stark, the King in the North. Now at the Twins.
- Locke, Roose Bolton's master-at-arms, now holding the castle in Lord Bolton's name
- Steelshanks, a man-at-arms sworn to Lord Bolton. Now at King's Landing with Jaime Lannister.
- Qyburn, a former maester. Now at King's Landing with Jaime Lannister.
Behind the scenes
Production Designer Gemma Jackson said that in order to develop the look of Harrenhal, she visited Cambodia and the ruins of Angkor Wat to get a feel for how a vast but crumbling castle complex should appear, with many broken walls overgrown with vines and creepers.[13]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Harrenhal is a colossal castle consisting of five massive towers (the Tower of Dread, the Widow's Tower, the Wailing Tower, the Tower of Ghosts, and the Kingspyre) and immense walls.
The castle was built over 300 years ago by House Hoare, the ruling house of the Iron Islands which had overrun and conquered the Riverlands. It took three generations to construct. King Harren the Black completed the castle, boasting that it was impregnable. Unfortunately, the day he completed the castle was the same day that Aegon the Conqueror invaded Westeros. His dragons were not obstructed by the towering walls and roasted Harren and all his heirs alive in the tallest tower of the castle, now known as the Kingspyre.
Since Harren's death the castle has passed through a number of other noble houses (Qoherys, Towers, Harroway, Strong, and Lothston), each of which has come to ruin for one reason or another. Also, every castellan to command the castle's garrison has come to a horrific end. This has led to the common superstition in Westeros that Harrenhal is cursed. Prior to the War of the Five Kings House Whent, loyal vassals to Lord Hoster Tully of Riverrun.
Harrenhal is considered extremely ill-reputed place not only due to the alleged curse: according to Jaime Lannister, Harrenhal had seen more horror in its three hundred years than Casterly Rock had witnessed in three thousand.
After House Lannister takes Harrenhal, most of its household keep on serving the occupiers. However Arya Stark, Jaqen H'ghar, Rorge, and Biter free the Northern prisoners after Lord Tywin and the Mountain leave the castle under the command of Amory Lorch. The Brave Companions seize the chance to turn on Lorch and deliver the castle to Roose Bolton, who was commanding the Northern forces east of the Trident, with whom they had previously made a deal.
According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Harrenhal" is pronounced "HAIR-in-hall".

Last night, two television anchors at WVII Channel 7 in Bangor stunned audiences by tendering their resignations live on air. News Director Cindy Michaels and Executive Producer Tony Consiglio had co-anchored the evening newscast on ABC 7 for more than six years. Although neither has pointed to any specific incidents, Michaels and Consiglio both say that the station's managers have been exercising undue influence over news content. But the station's manager disagrees. Meanwhile, as Jennifer Mitchell reports, independent observers are watching to see what comes of it all.
The video has already hit news Web sites, trade publications and blogs nationwide - from the AOL Jobs Web site to the Huffington Post.
Consiglio in video: "We have loved every moment bringing the news to you and coming into the homes with your stories of the community and the state, and some recent developments have come to our attention, though, and departing together is the best alternative we can take."
Michaels in video: "You are a wonderful community, Bangor, and we are very sad at having to say goodbye for now, but we will still be around."
Cindy Michaels and Tony Consiglio then signed off and turned in their company cell phones. Soon after, their two positions were advertised on a national media jobs Web site.
None of the WVII staff contacted for this story wished to be quoted on record, but all claimed to be surprised by the sudden resignations - all, that is, except for the company's manager.
"Sometimes people leave before they're asked to leave," says the station's General Manager Mike Palmer. He emphatically denies that he ever exercised undue influence over the journalism at WVII. He says he never went to news meetings, never dictated the casts, and that the news was left up to Michaels, as the department manager.
Even so, he admits that he did have occasion to question Michaels' news judgment. "I had to make it known they had to present both sides of an issue rather than one side of an issue," he says. "For instance, we recently broadcast a gay marriage debate."
Palmer says that Michaels and Consiglio selected an openly gay man to moderate that debate, something he says shows biased judgment.
But that's not exactly how Cindy Michaels remembers it. She says that the moderator in question was a professional journalist - a member of her staff - who had come to her with the idea of holding that debate, and she says that Palmer never discussed that staff member's sexual orientation with her.
"There was a regular undoing of decisions made by me, the news director," she says. "Sometimes politically charged stories were not treated with unbiased approach."
Michaels says it's hard to offer specifics because these conflicts over news ethics arose constantly - she says at least every week. And she says that after a long period of soul searching, she and Consiglio decided together that their principles were being compromised by staying.
"Bangor, Maine, is a fairly small news market, but it can represent, even given its small size those significant tensions that exist between the journalistic and the business values," says Bob Steele, who specializes in ethics and journalism at DePauw University.
Coincidentally, Steele once worked for WVII as its news director back in the 1970s. He says that while he can't comment more specifially on this situation until more details emerge, he says that it's unwise to ignore these kinds of conflicts when they arise, because the quality of a nation's journalism indicates the quality of information delivered to voters, educators, and citizens trying to make good decisions.
"And if there's some sense that that fair, responsible, professional, ethical news coverage is being undermined, then it should be a point of discussion, in the same way in which we discuss issues with the University of Maine or Eastern Maine Medical Center or the paper companies or any other major institution," Steele says.
Consiglio and Michaels' abrupt departure is already making a splash industry-wide. Mark Kelley, who teaches at the New England School of Communications, says he's planning on using this very case as a discussion topic with his students because it involves both professionalism and ethics.
Kelley says he's seen this sort of thing happen before. He says the public will forget all about it in a couple of days, but there's a chance that Consiglio and Michaels may have irreparably damaged their careers by choosing to quit on the spot.
"It'll come up in our media ethics class, it'll come up in our journalism classes, certainly," he says. "We'll certainly be talking about it."
"I'm very sad to hear that this potentially could have a negative effect on my career, but you have to stand up for what you believe in," Michaels says.
Michaels says that the decision to leave was very emotional. She says she and Coniglio wanted to show respect for their viewers by issuing a personal goodbye, which probably would not have happened if they'd handed in their notice any earlier.
Meanwhile, Mike Palmer at WVII says that he plans to fill the positions as soon as suitable candidates can be found - which he says won't be long, given the amount of interest he's already received.

I've been looking for a way to get into the project, but since I'm not much of a mapper I've just been lurking. I suppose this is my opportunity to be able to finally contribute something. Lord knows I've got the time for it (though my wife may have a different opinion on that).
I don't know exactly how I'd lay everything out, but I'm sure that with a little fiddling I can figure something out to make everyone happy.
In any case, I'm more than happy to research all the threads here and see if I can't compile something that makes a bit of sense, if you'll have me. If not, or there's someone more qualified (which would be pretty much anyone, honestly), then I'll be content to continue lurking and watch this incredible stroke of brilliance take on life.

The following events occurred in the 1540s:
- 16 July, 1544: Jarleth Hobart makes a public demonstration of his Levitation Charm, having leapt from the roof of his local church before a large crowd of wizards and remaining suspended in mid-air.[1] The charm was cast on his clothes, however, and when the wizard removed them (as he believed they were making him heavy and impeding his movements in mid-air) he fell to the ground, breaking sixteen bones.
