Diablo 3 is partially a cloud based game. All the content is not installed to your computer, some is only on Blizzard's servers in order to prevent cheating/hacks which would directly be about items. Blizzard are doing everything in their power to prevent such a thing from happening since they are relying on the Real Money Auction House's success in order to make absurd profit.
That could be destroyed if the items/economy was tampered with like it was in Diablo 2. The entire game is basically built around the RMAH, even at the cost of the quality of the game. It's for this reason there are no trade channels, they don't want people to be able to trade directly and avoid their Auction House fee which (if it's the same as the in-game Gold AH fee) is a whopping 15%. That's robbery, I don't use Ebay but I can't imagine them charging 15% on every transaction.
I wouldn't be surprised if they actually make more profit from this system than monthly fees like in WoW. Either way I can't imagine it lasting long if they don't revamp the entire game, the flaws and poor programming in the game are endless. There are more sacrifices of quality in order to be built around the RMAH such as the obvious lack of offline play, etc.
People are even speculating that the Auction House does not show an ID or name of any sort in order to make it easier for Blizzard to just conjure up super rare items and sell them there. I would be surprised if they didn't do this.

From an out-of-water perspective, we normally fill land with more than one color, using separate colors to identify forest/plain/mountain. And then we simply use shades of blue to suggest not everything is equal under the sea surface.
Don't know how this would work, but at such a starting point of your project, why not trying the opposite thing: one color in different shades for land, a variety of colors for sea (sandy sea plains, deep sea, coralian areas, i don't know).

- Rockies, Weiss fill out coaching staff; Jim Wright takes over pitching
- Nov 14:
- New hitting coach Dante Bichette wants Rockies to rock Coors Field
- Nov 13:
- Jason Giambi felt timing wasn't right for Rockies' hitting position

- Nov 8:
- Jason Giambi mulling offer to be Rockies' hitting coach
As part of Friday's news conference announcing the Rockies' new manager, assistant general manager Bill Geivett said manager Walt Weiss would have input on his coaching staff.
As a result, Dante Bichette, Jason Giambi and Rene Lachemann will be in play for the hitting instructor job, according to multiple MLB sources.
Bichette indicated earlier in the week he was not ready for the job at this point, but that could change with his former Rockies teammate Weiss now Colorado's manager.
Giambi is still mulling his options, trying to determine whether he will switch to coaching or continue his playing career. Lachemann has been a coach with the Rockies' Triple-A team for years and was Weiss' manager during the 1993 season with the Florida Marlins.
Blog: On the Rox
Troy E. Renck and Patrick Saunders add analysis and notes to this blog focussing on the Colorado Rockies.
The Rockies are trying to finalize their staff this week. The other open position is third base, where Colorado Springs Sky Sox's manager Stu Cole will be a candidate, a source said.
The Rockies have not determined if Bo McLaughlin will remain as pitching coach — they were happy with him last summer — or if they will attempt to hire Bob McClure. He was a pitching coach in the Rockies' organization from 1999-2005, then he was the Kansas City Royals' pitching coach from 2006-11, but was fired after the 2011 season.

AIKEN, S.C. -- The Aiken Department of Public Safety is looking for burglars involved in multiple incidents from the weekend.
There were several burglaries at homes along the 100 block of Horry Street and 1200 block of Hahn Avenue.
Several cars were also broken into along Scotch Pine Road and the 3000 block of Richland Avenue. A car on Hilltop Drive was also broken into with forced entry. Purses, credit cars, electronics and loose change were taken from the cars.
Sgt. Jake Mahoney with the Aiken Department of Public Safety says no arrests have been made at this time, but all of the burglaries are under investigation.
Mahoney says there is not a pattern to the burglaries, as they all took place in different locations.

Cubs Deal Hart
The former Cub is officially playing for the armpit of Major League baseball.
'Pride. Passion. Pittsburgh Pirates' is the headline on the club's official web site.
They should be sued for fraud and ordered to change the header to Price. Pathetic. Pittsburgh Cheapskates.
In two days the Buccos have further depleted its entire 25-man roster to just three remaining position players from Opening Day. I don't care what anyone says, that's bad for baseball.
I love the addition of John Grabow to the Cubs' pen. Just what Chicago needs: a quality left-hander…the arm I've been campaigning for the past several months.
I don't feel one way or another about Tom Gorzelanny. Don't care that he's a local boy, either. His 14 wins in 2007 are my only interest and my only concern.
In the past two seasons he's struggled to regain that old winning form. Does he get back to that mark with Chicago?
Kevin Hart made some nice strides with the Cubs, but I never thought of him as a top of the rotation starter. Doesn't mean I don't like the guy as a pitcher, just saying he's worth trading for something good in return.
On the bright side, how's it feel to be John Grabow today!

Valentine's Day
this wiki
Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Day is an occasion celebrated on 14 February in both the Muggle world and the wizarding world. It is the traditional day on which people express their love for each other, particularly romantic love, by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering sweets.
- "Lockhart's idea of a morale-booster became clear at breakfast time on February fourteenth."
- —Lockhart foists a surprise on Hogwarts.[src]
The Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was decorated with large, lurid pink flowers. Heart-shaped confetti was falling from the pale blue ceiling. Gilderoy Lockhart, professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at the time, was wearing lurid pink robes to match the decorations. He organised the event, and hired a dozen dwarfs wearing golden wings and carrying harps to make them look like cupids. All day long, the dwarfs kept barging into the classes to deliver valentines, and become an annoyance to the teachers. Lockhart's over-decoration and insensitivity led the rest of the staff, as well as Ron Weasley, to be extremely disgusted with it all.[1]
Harry Potter received many valentines that year, including one from Ginny Weasley that sang:
- His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad,
- His hair is as dark as a blackboard.
- I wish he was mine, he's really divine,
- The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.[1]
Lockhart also received a number of valentines that year from fawning students, though Hermione refused to admit whether or not one was sent by her.
- Harry: "Look, let's not talk about Cedric right now...let's talk about something else."
- Cho: "I thought, I thought you'd u-u-understand! I need to talk about it! Surely you n-need to talk about it too! I mean, you saw it happen, d-didn't you?"
- Harry: "Well - I have talked about it, to Ron and Hermione, but -"
- Cho: "Oh, you'll talk to Hermione Granger! But you won't talk to me! P-perhaps it would be best if we just...just p-paid and you went and met up with Hermione G-Granger, like you obviously want to!"
- — Harry and Cho on their date[src]
Harry Potter and Cho Chang shared their first kiss in December of 1995, and went on their first date on Valentine's Day in 1996 in Hogsmeade. Pansy Parkinson spotted them, nastily shouting to Cho: "I don't think much of your taste...at least Diggory was good-looking!" Harry and Cho also saw a large poster with ten pictures of Death Eaters who had escaped Azkaban, including Bellatrix Lestrange. Cho noted that when Sirius Black had escaped Azkaban in 1993, there were a hundred Dementors patrolling Hogsmeade and Hogwarts, but not a single one was present despite the escape of ten Death Eaters.
Later, the two decided to drink coffee in Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop, where there a number of golden cherubs that were hovering over each of the small, circular tables, occasionally throwing pink confetti over the occupants. Harry was reminded unpleasantly of Dolores Umbridge's office. The tea shop was full of nothing but couples, all of them holding hands, including Roger Davies and his girlfriend. The sight made Harry feel uncomfortable at the thought of Cho expecting him to hold her hand.
The two soon got into an argument, after Harry told Cho that he was going to meet his friend Hermione Granger afterwards, and asked if she wanted to accompany him. Jealous, Cho tried to gauge Harry's feelings for her by mentioning that Roger had asked her out, but she had turned him down. This just bewildered Harry, who was inexperienced with girls. Cho then asked him about Cedric Diggory, her former boyfriend whose death Harry had witnessed the previous year, and grew increasingly upset, ending up in tears and leaving Harry confused, and by then the whole cafe was watching him.
Harry then went to meet Hermione, whom he was surprised to find sitting with Luna Lovegood and Rita Skeeter in the Three Broomsticks. Hermione arranged for Skeeter to interview him so as to get his account of Lord Voldemort's return out to the public, since the Ministry of Magic was branding him a liar or a nutter in the Daily Prophet. The interview was subsequently published in The Quibbler.[2] Dolores Umbridge banned it at Hogwarts, which only made it even more popular, becoming the best-selling issue of The Quibbler ever[3].
Valentine's Cards
Often, cards are exchanged on this day to show affection. They come in many different shapes and sizes and are given in both the muggle and wizarding world.
Behind the scenes
- "Dear Harry. Thinking sweet thoughts of you. Happy Valentine's Day. Romilda."
- —Card from the chocolate box[src]
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Romilda Vane gave Harry a box of Chocolate Cauldrons spiked with Love Potion for Valentine's Day. In the novel, however, she gave them to him before Christmas.

Any actor hired to play "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business" in a biopic expectedly would be challenged at every split or scream he'd attempt in character on screen. Chadwick Boseman demonstrated this as he played the late James Brown in Get On Up, based on the legendary singer's life – the film hit theaters today (Friday, August 1). "It's hard to do James Brown," says Kenny Lang, adding that it takes "a high energetic actor" to portray the singer. He and Sybil Lang saw an advance screening of the movie July 29 at AMC Southdale Center 16 in Edina. "I was hoping the story would have more on [Brown] up to his death [in 2006]," says Sybil Lang.

The gang is coming closer to Petalburg City. They have lunch first and May and Max begin to imagine what will they eat when they get there. May grabs a sandwich, but a Pokémon takes it before she does. The Pokémon gulps others' food - it is a Gulpin. The gang hears a warning from the speakers - all residents must evacuate from their homes. After a while, no soul can be seen on the streets. A scream is heard - the gang goes inside, seeing that Gulpin eat a woman's bread. Ash's Pikachu comes to help, but the Gulpin overwhelm him. More Gulpin fall from the vents.
Officer Jenny arrives and her Tangela brings the gang and the woman outside. She brings them to the Pokémon Center where Nurse Joy sees the situation. A older man (which Jenny introduces them as Prof. Jacuzzi) says that once again the Gulpin population is rising. The Gulpin each year go to eat everything and Prof. Jacuzzi thinks they are headed for the center of town. Jacuzzi already has a plan to stop them, but the Gulpin go already. On the bridge, the gang, with Officer Jenny, wait for Gulpin as they arrive. Jacuzzi launches a rocket, revealing a giant Poké Block for Gulpin.
The Poké Block attracts Gulpin and Jacuzzi presses a button - the Poké Block flies away, so do the Gulpin as well. However, Team Rocket take the Poké Block, saying it is theirs. However, Gulpin attack the balloon using Sludge to get them down. Next thing, they use Stockpile, blasting Team Rocket away and releasing the Poké Block. Brock catches the Poké Block, but Gulpin go after it, so Jenny releases Meganium, Tangela and Parasect. Tangela uses Vine whip, Meganum Razor Leaf and Parasect Stun Spore to hold the Gulpin off. Ash sends Treecko. Gulpin use Sludge, but Treecko evades and uses Bullet Seed, hurting the Gulpin.
Jacuzzi presses the button - the Poké Block goes away (as the jet-pack is attached to it), so Gulpin leave to it. Team Rocket are hungry, but Jessie's Wobbuffet spots Gulpin leaving, so they will go to Gulpin in search for food. During the night, another signal is heard and the lights go off - an underground cable was cut, so Joy switches to a backup generator. The Gulpin are headed for the centre again, with Team Rocket following them. Nurse Joy presses a button to seal the gates, forcing the Gulpin to go above ground. Gulpin go above ground, so Jenny sends her Pokemon to battle.
Officer Jenny's Pokemon and Ash's Pikachu attack, nevertheless more Gulpin head towards them. Professor Jacuzzi arrives and activates a machine, so Gulpin disappear in a purple light, Jacuzzi fires the Gulpin out of his vehicle. More and more Gulpin are absorbed to be fired away. One is left, but the machine stops working. The Gulpin is trying to go away, but Ash sends Treecko to battle it. Treecko uses Bullet Seed, but is negated with Gulpin's Sludge attack. Jacuzzi has enabled the machine to work, while Treecko uses Pond. At same time, Jacuzzi fires his cannon.
Inside the machine, Gulpin attacks, so the machines are broken. Jacuzzi attempts to repair, but the machine is destroyed. Two purple lights emerge - Gulpin and Treecko are free, but are huge! Gulpin's attack affected the machines, so the result is the gigantic size. Gulpin moves, so Treecko comes to stop it. People evacuate the area, while Treecko and Gulpin fight. Per Ash's order, Treecko throws Gulpn on the river. Team Rocket are seen going away with food they got, but when Gulpin flies over, it attacks, blasting them off. Gulpin uses Stockpile and attacks with Speedup, but Treecko dodges the attack.
As Treecko dodges, he shrinks down to his normal size. Ash calls it back, but Gulpin goes into the town again. May proposes to catching it, despite its size. Jacuzzi throws his Poké Ball, but Gulpin frees himself immediately. Nurse Joy gives him a Heavy Ball and Jacuzzi throws it. Moments pass on, but... Gulpin has been captured! Brock wonders if Gulpin would be still oversized, but Professor says that it shrinks to its own size. He sends it out, but soon calls it back when it is enormous. Nevertheless, Jacuzzi will still work on making it on its original size.
- Part of this episode has some similarities with the Power Rangers episodes.
- Featured Pokemon: Larvitar, Treecko, Carvanha, Shedinja
- At the beginning of the episode, a classic Pokemon identification can be seen. In this episode, the Pokemon is Magmar.

- 1 General support for Semantic Web applications
- 2 Tools to make relational data accessible via SPARQL
- 3 Tools that support converting non-relational data to RDF
- 4 Management/Visualization
General support for Semantic Web applications
LOD2 Stack
LOD2 stack is a collection of tools contributed by LOD2 members.
Pellet Integrity Constraint Validator
- Pellet ICV is a modified version of Pellet that works with the Closed World Assumption. It can be used to define an ontology that will work as an schema and use Pellet to validate RDF data. An example using SKOS: http://weblog.clarkparsia.com/2010/04/14/pellet-icv-04-release-using-owl-integrity-constraints-to-validate-skos
JRDF - An RDF Library in Java
- Note from author: "From May the 8th 2011, I've set the status of the project to inactive. Mainly due to lack of interest and contribution - no further development is taking place."
- JRDF is an attempt to create a standard set of APIs and base implementations to RDF (Resource Description Framework) using the latest version of the Java language.
Tools to make relational data accessible via SPARQL
- Ultrawrap makes legacy relational databases upward compatible to the Semantic Web
- Allows to execute SPARQL directly on the relational database and ETL to RDF
- Ultrawrap executes SPARQL as fast as SQL because it delegates all optimizations to the underlying RDBMS
- Full support for W3C's R2RML and Direct Mapping
- Augmented Direct Mapping which maps the SQL Schema to OWL
SWObjects (usage)
- SWObjects uses a query rewriting approach to make SQL data accessible via a SPARQL endpoint.
- SWObjects creates maps from SPARQL Construct statements that act as translation rules from SPARQL to SQL, as well as SPARQL to SPARQL.
- Federation support: Maps will automatically dispatch queries to the appropriate graph/endpoint in federated applications.
D2R server
D2R Server is a tool for publishing relational databases on the Semantic Web. It enables RDF and HTML browsers to navigate the content of the database, and allows applications to query the database using the SPARQL query language
- R2O & ODEMapster is an integrated framework for the formal specification, evaluation, verification and exploitation of the semantic mappings between ontologies and relational databases.
- ODEMapster is a NeOn plugin that offers a GUI for building mappings between a RDBMS and an Ontology. It also offers the possibility of excecuting such mappings and populating the ontology to create a Linked Data KB.
Tools that support converting non-relational data to RDF
Sentient Knowledge Explorer
- interactive graphics for selection of desired output for automated SPARQL query builder
- automatic import wizards for mapping from common formats to RDF
TopBraid Composer
- has import with automated mappings to RDF from XML with provenance in the Maestro Edition
- is a versatile tool with many features for building and inspecting RDF and OWL, as well as publishing SPARQL access to data
RDF plugin to Google Refine
- Good for getting a sense of what's in the data (or a sample of the data where scale is large).
- Enables reconciliation of data with freebase/sindice/other sparql endpoints such as NCBO
- Enables description of data in terms of predicates retrieved from prefix.cc
- Possibility to specify which ontologies should be used to describe the data
- https://github.com/timrdf/csv2rdf4lod-automation/wiki/Examples
- It is implemented to handle arbitrary rows counts and was found to work with data that has 3,949,400 rows
- from the EU SysMO project
- Create spreadsheet templates for input using ontologies as controlled vocabularies. Spreadsheet entries then contain unambiguous identifiers and are easier to convert to RDF.
- The xCurator project offers an end-to-end framework to transform a semi-structured (XML) source into high-quality Linked Data.
- Used by the new LinkedCT http://linkedct.org/ Thanks to xCurator, the data is now over 25 million triples (previously only 7 million triples), has much higher quality and is up-to-date at all times
- Paper describing the framework and initial results: Linking Semistructured Data on the Web (WebDB2011 at SIGMOD)
- A little demo available online, but the code is still under development and not released yet http://dblab.cs.toronto.edu/project/xcurator/

James R. Healey, USA TODAY
The average transaction price for a new vehicle set a record of $31,252 in August, according to TrueCar.com, up 3.2% from a year ago.
The new high is up 0.5%, or $164, from July, the auto data research and shopping site reports.
The record was powered by five car companies that each had record prices in the month: Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Nissan and Volkswagen.
TrueCar's transaction price is meant to include everything - price of the vehicle, discounts, add-ons, taxes and license fees - all the amounts that total to the out-the-door price.
"Historically low interest rates as well as very attractive lease specials fueled by high resale values are enabling consumers to buy more expensive vehicles while still keeping payments at affordable levels," said Jesse Toprak, senior analyst for TrueCar.
"It's good day at the office for the manufacturers when the sales continue to grow double digits while transaction prices reach record highs."
The Hyundai Group - Hyundai and Kia brands combined - fared worst among the majors, down 4.2% from a year earlier, to an average $22,418, and off 0.2% form July.

Seattle, WA August 1, 2007– Thermal Remediation Services, Inc. (TRS) announced today that it offset its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the country's leading carbon reduction and offset organization. This practical step highlights TRS's commitment to be a leader in the Environmental Remediation industry.
TRS's stakeholders are very concerned about global warming. Considering the implications of climate change, carbon offsets through Carbonfund.org are a natural extension of the work TRS does on behalf of its stakeholders.
"We are proud of our leadership position in the environmental remediation industry and of our recent commitment to become a carbon neutral company. While we work to lower the carbon dioxide emissions we generate as a company we will offset those emissions we are not able to eliminate by purchasing offset credits. We feel an obligation to minimize our impact on the environment by reducing our carbon footprint and we encourage others to follow us. That is why our carbon neutral initiative contains provisions to help our teaming partners and our customers join us in preserving our quality of life for future generations." Michael Dodson, President of Thermal Remediation Services, Inc.
"It's a pleasure to have Thermal Remediation Services join the CarbonFree program," said Steve Offutt, Senior Advisor at Carbonfund.org. "In addition to their own commitment, by helping to recover brownfield sites, TRS is contributing to improving our urban forms, which also reduces emissions by reducing sprawl and its attendant traffic."
TRS is recognized as the market leader in the remediation of commercial and industrial real estate including Brownfield sites using Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH). TRS is proud of its perfect safety record with no OSHA recordable accidents in over 200,000 hours worked. TRS brings the expertise, experience and knowledge gained from performing ERH on over 60 projects nationwide to each new remediation site.
Carbonfund.org is a non-profit organization whose goal is to make carbon offsets and climate protection easy, affordable and a normal way of life for every individual and business. Carbon offsets enable individuals and businesses to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in one location, where it is cost effective, to offset the emissions they are responsible for in their normal activities, like home, office, driving or air travel emissions. By supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reforestation projects Carbonfund.org will retire an equivalent amount of carbon offsets. The financial support from these offsets will then help to continue the development of clean, renewable domestic sources of energy.
About Carbonfund.org
Carbonfund.org is the country's leading carbon reduction and offset organization. Carbonfund.org educates the public about the dangers of climate change and makes it easy and affordable for individuals, businesses and organizations to reduce their climate impact.

- Title
- Sales promotion in Australia: a review of current industry practice
- Author(s)
- Luxton, Sandra; Sharp, Anne; Corkindale, David
- Abstract
- Introduction: Sales promotion is defined and current knowledge discussed. Objectives: Claimed objectives, actual techniques and measurement tools are examined, with the hypothesis that managers claim to use sales promotion for brand enhancement, but really, use it to pursue competitive goals. Methodology: 200 managers were surveyed to determine behaviour and beliefs about sales promotion. Analysis was based on frequency distribution, factor and correspondence analysis. Results: Managers frequently use a range of techniques, most commonly product sampling, point of purchase displays, free product and cut prices. Key objectives are to attract customers, improve brand awareness and stimulate sales. Conclusions: Techniques and objectives consistently support the use of sales promotion as a tool to enhance brand/market position although priced based promotions which are more associated with competitive retaliation are also commonly used. Measures of effectiveness only focus on sales.

We do appreciate that questions about comparing car insurance prices are a little too boring to be asked, but they can be thought.
So we've compiled the following simple answers to questions frequently thought, about finding the best quote when comparing car insurance.
Flip through our step-by-step guide to the key factors which affect your quote:
Annual mileage
Annual mileage is used to measure risk. The more miles you drive, the more likely you are to be in an accident. Get an accurate number from your service records.
Date of birth
Providers know that on average, more experienced drivers are less likely to have accidents. It's the wisdom that comes with age. So your D.O.B. is essential.
Your premium can vary depending on the area you live.
Previous claims and convictions
Being upfront about past claims and convictions is essential. Leaving something out by mistake will invalidate your policy.
Named drivers
Make sure everyone who gets behind the wheel is covered in case of an accident.
Different careers will affect the number of hours you work, the time you travel and the amount of driving you do.
Type of cover
Comprehensive cover will cover your car, as well as the property of others. You may have to foot the bill for repairs to your car if you have only Third Party cover.
No claims discount
The longer you go without making a claim, the less risk you carry for a provider to cover you. Simple as that.
We aim to make it simple. From first time drivers to over 50s, from Fords to Ferraris we help find the right car insurance policy for you.
We pride ourselves in making sure comparing car insurance is quick and easy. Don't just take our word for it, 95.12% of our customers that found our car insurance experience easy or very easy.^^
As a customer you could save up to £228.58**, plus if you buy car insurance through us you can get MEERKAT MOVIES which gives you 2 for 1 cinema tickets every week for a whole year, or claim a free Meerkat toy*.
There are a number of different car insurance policies around, but don't worry, we'll explain the differences and make it easy for you to pick the policy which suits you best.
Broadly speaking, there are three main types of car insurance: comprehensive, third-party and third party (fire and theft). Comprehensive cover will protect your car as well as other people's property whereas a third-party policy will only cover damage you may cause to someone else's property. Third party (fire and theft) provides the same level as standard third party, but will also cover you in case of damage caused by fire or if your car is stolen.
It's also worth knowing that the typical car insurance policy lasts for 12 months and will need to be renewed each year. Your insurance might automatically renew when it's about to expire, so remember to come back to comparethemarket.com to get the deal that's right for you.

I like your boat designs.
Hey all, so I am finally back and at work on mapping for a new campaign. Early in the campaign I am going to utilize some of the old 1st Ed. modules, T1, U1-3, then see what direction the players will go. As such, I found some good maps for T1 to use as battle maps, but didn't find any for use with U1-3. Originally I started working on U1 in RPTools MapTool, which is nice, but in many ways limited. Here are the maps I ended up making, then painstakingly "exporting" via screen capture. How I wish they had built in a way to save a bounded section of the map as a PNG!!!
The house grounds -
The Ground Floor -
The 1st Floor -
The Attic -
The Cellar -
The Caverns -
Sea Ghost Deck -
Sea Ghost Desk Cabins -
Sea Ghost Hold -
And the Sea Ghost Bilge -
I like your boat designs.
The boat layouts were the best things about those modules, you could use them for other things whenever you need a boat! Nice maps!! Good stuff, thanks.
I agree with those above, the boat design is great. I can imagine using these for multiple games. The interior of the house has a bit of a scale issue. The floorboards are extremely wide in comparison to other things in the house and the stone patio doesn't seem to match stylistically. Great work! Thanks for sharing.
It's a few years later, but I want to thank you so much!
I'm preparing to run the Saltmarsh trilogy on www.Roll20.net soon and was looking for fan-source maps of the cellar and caverns.
Great module. Very Scooby-Do.

Myrcella Baratheon
this wiki
- "Myrcella's a sweet, innocent girl and I don't blame her at all for you."
- ―Tyrion to Myrcella's mother, Cersei Lannister.
Princess Myrcella Baratheon is a recurring character in the first and second season. She is played by guest star Aimee Richardson and debuts in the series premiere. Princess Myrcella is commonly thought to be the only daughter of King Robert Baratheon and Queen Cersei Lannister. Her real father is Jaime Lannister. Her older brother Joffrey Baratheon currently sits on the Iron Throne as the King of the Andals and the First Men. She has been sent to Dorne as part of a marriage pact with House Martell.
Princess Myrcella is commonly thought to be the only daughter of King Robert Baratheon and Queen Cersei Lannister. Cersei and Robert made a political marriage alliance after Robert took the throne by force from the Mad King Aerys II Targaryen.[1] Myrcella has an older brother, Joffrey, and a younger, Tommen. The real father of all three children is Jaime Lannister. She often attends tournaments with King Robert. She has a sweet and quiet disposition and is fond of her Uncle Tyrion Lannister.[2]
Season 1Myrcella accompanies her family north to Winterfell after the death of Jon Arryn. During their stay Bran Stark is severely injured.[3] Myrcella is eating breakfast with Cersei, Jaime and Tommen when her uncle Tyrion joins them. Myrcella asks whether Bran will die and Tyrion replies that he is expected to live, delighting Myrcella and horrifying Cersei. Tyrion excites Myrcella and Tommen by announcing that he wishes to see the Wall and the "wintry abode of the White Walkers." He then amuses them by claiming that he wants to urinate off the edge of the wall. Cersei is irritated by his rudeness and leaves, taking the children with her.[4] Myrcella attends the tournament to celebrate Eddard Stark becoming Hand of the King.
She witnesses the horrific death of Ser Hugh of the Vale during his joust against Ser Gregor Clegane.[5] Myrcella returns for the second day of the tournament and applauds when Ser Loras Tyrell unseats Gregor. Gregor attacks Loras and Sandor Clegane intervenes. King Robert calls an end to the fighting. Myrcella joins the applause when Loras declares Sandor a champion.[6]
Season 2Myrcella attends Joffrey's nameday Tourney. She is pleased when her uncle Tyrion Lannister arrives during the festivities and tells her that she is more beautiful than ever. When Joffrey callously says that they had heard he was dead, Myrcella tells Tyrion that she is glad that rumors of his death were not true.[7] Myrcella attends a tense dinner with her younger brother Tommen, her mother Cersei, and Sansa Stark. Myrcella naively makes smalltalk with Sansa, asking when she will marry Joffrey, and Cersei explains it will be after the war ends. Myrcella says that she is excited for the new gowns she will wear to the wedding. She good-naturedly points out that Sansa will be wearing an ivory gown as the bride. Sansa isn't sure how to react but Cersei presses her to respond. Sansa parrots the usual lines that she looks forward to being married to Joffrey.[8] In order to strengthen House Lannister's political position during the War of the Five Kings, Hand of the King Tyrion Lannister makes plans to forge a marriage-alliance with House Martell of Dorne by having Princess Myrcella wed to Trystane Martell, the youngest child of the current ruler of Dorne. In return House Martell would hopefully supply soldiers to the Lannisters' side, or at least ensure they wouldn't openly side with their enemies. The actual marriage ceremony will wait until Myrcella is old enough, but part of the arrangement involves sending her to Dorne to live in Trystane's household. Queen Cersei is furious with Tyrion when she hears (from Grand Maester Pycelle) what he is planning, declaring that she won't let her only daughter be shipped off to Dorne as she was shipped off to Robert Baratheon. Tyrion counters that as a princess, many would say that Myrcella was born to one day forge a marriage alliance, and she will be safer in Dorne than in the capital city during a major civil war. Against Cersei's continued protests, Tyrion insists that the plan has already been finalized, leaving Cersei fuming and in tears for her daughter.[9] Myrcella later plays with her handmaidens in a castle garden before the eyes of Septa Eglantine, while her inebriated mother bitterly criticizes Tyrion for being ready to "seal my daughter in a crate so you can ship her away". Tyrion insists that she will be safer in Dorne, and Cersei mocks his concern for her. Tyrion firmly says that he is indeed concerned for Myrcella's safety: she is a sweet, innocent girl, and "I don't blame her at all for you".[10]
Myrcella tearfully departs King's Landing on a ship bound for Sunspear accompanied by Septa Eglantine and Ser Arys Oakheart of the Kingsguard. She is seen off at the docks by a formal royal procession including King Joffrey, Prince Tommen, Queen Cersei, Acting Hand of the King Tyrion Lannister, and Sansa Stark with prayers for her and her safe journey delivered by the High Septon.[11]

- "Is Bran going to die?"
- ―Myrcella Baratheon to her uncle Tyrion (also, Myrcella's first and only speaking line in Season 1)
- Joffrey Baratheon: "We heard you were dead."
- Myrcella Baratheon: "I'm glad you're not dead."
- Joffrey Baratheon: "Me too, dear. Death is so boring, especially now with so much excitement in the world"
- — Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tyrion[src]
[After a day of being tormented by Joffrey, Sansa Stark attends an awkward dinner with Cersei, and her younger children Myrcella and Tommen. Everyone eats wordlessly until Myrcella finally breaks the awkward silence]
Princess Myrcella Baratheon: (to Cersei) "When will Joffrey and Sansa be married?"
Queen Cersei Lannister: "Soon darling, when the war is over."
Myrcella: (to Sansa) "Mother says I'll have a new gown for the ceremony, and another for the feast." (Quickly thinking of something nice to say to Sansa) "But yours will be ivory, since you're the bride."
(Sansa sits in a stunned silence after being reminded that she will be forced to marry Joffrey)
Cersei: (to Sansa) "The princess just spoke to you."
Sansa Stark: (to Cersei) "Pardon, your grace." (to Myrcella) "I'm sure your dress will be beautiful, Myrcella. I'm counting the days until the fighting's done, and I can pledge my love to the king in sight of the Gods."[12]
Tyrion Lannister: (to Cersei regarding Myrcella) Just how safe do you think Myrcella is if the city falls? Do you want to see her raped?! Butchered like the Targaryen children?! Make no mistake, they'll mount her pretty little head on a spike right next to yours!
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Myrcella is a quiet, obedient, and honest girl, eight years old when the events of the books begin. Myrcella is a year younger than Arya Stark, and a year older than Bran Stark. She is said to have inherited her mother's beautiful looks, but none of her personality. Her mother dotes on her and is keen that she does not suffer Cersei's fate of being "sold" in a political marriage without love.
Like all of Cersei's children she was mostly ignored by King Robert. While Cersei felt she doted on all of her children, she is more attached to her own mental constructs of them than the reality. As Cersei's loveless marriage with Robert dragged on year after year, she increasingly fantasized about how Joffrey would one day succeed Robert and become a great king himself, never acknowledging that he was really a petulant sociopath. Ironically, despite Cersei's defiant claims (and even earnest belief) that she is a devoted mother to all of her children, she actually became so obsessed with Joffrey (and her fantasies about him) that she all but ignored Myrcella and Tommen throughout their lives. From the moment she gave birth to Joffrey, Cersei dreamed about the great king he would grow into, and how as Jaime's secret son he would be her ultimate revenge on Robert: the births of her two subsequent children were barely an anecdote in the narrative of this mental fantasy which already been established in her mind years before. Her younger children were pushed off to the side, and with Robert a non-factor in their lives as well, they were functionally raised by court servants, such as Septa Eglantine. Even so, Cersei will still become hypocritically enraged when anyone questions her relationship with her younger children.
TV viewers who haven't read the books may find it odd that while the children of the current generation of House Stark are given a large amount of screentime (even Arya or Bran), the younger children of the current generation of House Lannister barely appear at all. This is much as it was in the earlier books of the series, and is actually a key plot point: the almost total absence of Myrcella and Tommen from the inner dynamics of House Lannister is indicative of just how little importance they have to Cersei. People are aware they exist, but rarely even pause to consider treating them as individuals with their own emotions or agendas (between the two of them, they had only a single throwaway speaking line in the entire first season, "is Bran going to die?" - Rickon Stark had more dialogue in Season 1 than both of them combined). At best, Cersei will argue over their treatment on general principle, such as when she opposed "selling" Myrcella of to a political marriage in Dorne. However, Cersei was more angered in the sense that she felt something was being taken which belonged to her: notice that neither the books nor TV series includes a scene in which Cersei discusses news of the marriage proposal with Myrcella.
Thus it is all the more shocking when in later books, as they grow older, Myrcella and Tommen increasingly turn into major characters in the very midst of House Lannister, on the scale of Arya or Bran Stark, where before they were treated as non-entities. The other family members and courtiers (and by extension, the readers or TV viewers) are even criticized for ignoring them this entire time, and simply assuming they were content. The smiling children seen in public at the Tourney of the Hand in book/Season 1 hide a darker and empty family life. Later books also retroactively reveal that Myrcella and Tommen have lived in terror of Joffrey their entire lives. Joffrey killed and skinned several of Tommen's childhood pets, yet Cersei continued to dote on him. At one point Tommen even says that he used to "go away inside" mentally when Joffrey did certain things to him and Myrcella, though the exact extent of what he did (killing his pets or something far more sinister) has not been made clear.
However, despite their parents' loveless marriage, absent father, sociopathic and abusive older brother, willfully blind and functionally absent mother, Myrcella and Tommen still seem to have a good and genuinely loving relationship between the two of them, as fellow-sufferers sharing a household with Cersei and Joffrey.
Tommen goes to the tournament for Joffrey's nameday, having been given permission by Cersei to do a practice mounted sword fight against a quintain with a straw filled mannequin as his opponent. Joffrey sees that the quality of the jousting is poor (the Hound says they are all gnats, and Ser Dontos Hollard shows up drunk), and Joffrey decides to cancel the whole thing. Tommen and Myrcella protest, as Cersei said Tommen could take part, and Joffrey can't just cancel it. When Joffrey says they are acting childish, Myrcella responds, "We are children. We are supposed to act childish." The Hound laughs and says, "She's got you there", and Joffrey relents.
Myrcella doesn't cry when she is sent away on the ship to Dorne. In fact, she comforts Tommen, who is crying. Myrcella's ship actually doesn't sail directly to Dorne, but rather, sails to the Free City of Braavos across the Narrow Sea, in order to meet on neutral ground. When they reach Braavos, Myrcella and her attendants are received by Dornish envoys, who in turn transport them back across the Narrow Sea to Dorne.
According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Myrcella" is pronounced "Mer-SELL-uh", as opposed to "MER-sull-uh" (that is, it doesn't rhyme with "Ursula").

I personally think we should aim for a word that doesn't feel like it came from our modern languages. Something with a bit of a bite to it that makes you wonder 'well who the hell named it that'? The name 'Earth' must have come from some source, it spread through europe and became variants like Arth and Urde and eventually came back together once we again shared language.
My suggestion remains: Tarisch (Tah-Reesh)
though nothing says the various cultures couldn't have variant names. Tarith, Vareesk, Tolish, Dorich, etc.

Actress Michelle Williams takes hipster-chic to a whole new level. The gorgeous blonde proves she's comfortable in her own skin, while also being the belle of the ball. Her edgy, yet feminine style was on full display at the recent premiere of the film "Oz the Great and Powerful," and you need to steal her makeup, like now.
For this stellar trend, Williams went full on fabulous starting with a light raspberry lipstick on her pout in a matte finish. Not only was the color perfect, but it looks like she added more of the hue to her bottom lip for a totally dramatic style. Next, the actress swiped on a thick layer of pink blush, starting on the apples and moving it up and out toward her temples for a natural flushed look.
Williams didn't stop there - instead she upped the ante even further with her eye makeup. The starlet started with metallic silver eyeshadow on her top lids to the crease lines before switching to a light pink hue from the crease lines to her brow lines. She then smudged a bit of the silver hue on her bottom lids for a lovely glow. Next, Williams rimmed her lids in charcoal eyeliner on top and bottom, pushing it out past her brow lines for a gorgeous cat-eye.
