Westeros is the premiere fansite for George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. Discuss the series on the forums, browse our resource collections, read about the TV series from HBO and play the MUSH, to name just a few of the things we offer.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
For those using Firefox, we've now introduced OpenSearch plugins to all areas of Westeros.org. There are three primary ones: the main search plugin searches sites such as The Citadel, while the forum and the wiki have dedicated plugins. Just check your search bar and you should see the option of adding our search plugins to your collection. What this will allow you to do is quickly and easily search the site, forum, and wiki from anywhere on the Internet.
A massive update to the So Spake Martin collection today, including GRRM's posts to the Barnes & Noble Bookclub event. The event appears to have been the most popular of the B&N Center Stage events, drawing nearly 300 total posts across four topics, with GRRM posting answers more than fifty times (and often providing answers to multiple questions in those posts); the next largest, by Anne Rice, appears to have drawn slightly fewer than 200.
We have completed one of our periodic checks of the links in the So Spake Martin collection, generally found in the "Chats, Interviews, Etc." section. Dead links have been replaced with active ones (often thanks to the Internet Archive). There's some great material in there, for those who've never perused them before. Of particular note are chats such as those hosted by Opus Press and Dromen and Demonen. One interview is currently dead, a 1996 interview with Amazon.com. We will be contacting them requesting permission to host it ourselves.
The So Spake Martin collection has been updated with two reports from Technicon 25. In it, George R. R. Martin's progress on A Dance with Dragons and the third "Dunk & Egg" story are discussed.
Also, a spoiler-filled report concerning a chapter from Dance that GRRM read, and ensuing discussion and elaborations, can be found at the "A Song of Ice and Forum", here.
For no reason currently known to us, the forum is unavailable. Some other services are also down—the IRC chan and nickservs, FTP—which suggest that the server itself may be knocked offline (possibly due to an upstream router issue). More news when we have it.
The So Spake Martin collection has added a link to his audio interview for World Fantasy Con 2008, as well as a new piece of fan correspondence discussing the use of Valyrian steel and twist endings.
We upgraded the board to the latest version of the software, but this necessitates us doing a rebuild of the contents of the database to take advantage of effeciency improvements. Unfortunately, the database is so large at this point that the rebuild process simply chokes, and with it goes the whole board, and then the whole server. This is a problem not only for the members of the board, but for the other sites hosted on the same server, and we'd like to be a good neighbor.
So, what we will need to do is prune the forums of excess posts, the usual house cleaning, and then run the rebuild.
The So Spake Martin collection has been updated with a new audio interview with GRRM. It's a very good one, actually, from the Law Talk podcast. A number of questions about the setting in relation to law are asked, as well as questions concerning magic in fantasy, the trend towards the medieval setting, the proposed HBO series, and more.
The So Spake Martin collection has been updated with a link to an interview with GRRM conducted by Entertainment Weekly, drawing from a pool of questions submitted by fans. There are some very candid and interesting answers, as well as information regarding the proposed HBO series which confirms details previously reported, including something only hinted at in our earlier report: HBO has gone so far as to conduct a budget study for the project.
The So Spake Martin collection has been updated with reports from the World Fantasy Convention, as well as to a newly-published interview originally given during the San Diego Comic Con.
The So Spake Martin collection has been updated with a link to a new interview with George, which also features Daniel Abraham and Gardner Dozois as it's primarily focused on the forthcoming release of Hunter's Run.
The So Spake Martin collection has been updated with a number of reports from this past weekend's Trinoc*Con, where GRRM made an appearance. Some interesting tidbits include George's remarks on the warging abilities of the Stark children, future Dunk and Egg stories, the Sandsnakes, and more.
The So Spake Martin collection has been updated with a link to a new interview with GRRM at iTunes, and a report from a Q&A at InConJunction.
Westeros.org has been immortalized in the latest My Elves are Different comic. Alas, it's not entirely for good reasons, but the comic is amusing.
It's that time again, folks! The A Song of Ice and Fire board needs your support to continue going. While the hosting is generously provided by Sparks, our terrific site admin, the costs of keeping the board running are not insignificant. We've currently set up a Fundable group action for $750. This is more than the previous fundraisers, because we've decided to move from twice-yearly fundraising efforts to annual. We believe the community is certainly capable of raising this kind of funding.
Fundable.org allows users to submit donations via Paypal or major credit cards, so everyone should be able to contribute. The group action will be open for 25 days, with a minimum donation of $10 (if you can't manage quite that much, but would still like to contribute, please contact us and we'll see if we can help arrange your contribution).
To go to the group action, go here. And please do feel free to spread the word around to other fans and supporters of the website!
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

Way More Than Skiing
Idyllic Harbors, Charming Inns, Award-Winning Restaurants.
Spectacular Views
The Only East Coast Ski Destination With Ocean Views!
Family Friendly
That Real Small-Town-Maine Feel.
The Camden Snow Bowl is closed for the season . Thank you for your support and we hope to see you back on the mountain
next December!
You just let one of your kids go off alone to soar through the terrain park, while you enjoy coasting down wide-open terrain on one of the Snow Bowl's new runs. But you are not worried. It's a friendly Maine town. Besides, every one of the 20 runs ends at the lodge, so everybody shows up there eventually. You also felt comfortable dropping your other kid at the conveyor lift with a friendly, certified ski-school instructor — who just happens to moonlight as a schooner captain. Both kids are perfectly geared up too, thanks to the well-appointed rental facility and full-service ski shop. And you're happy it will be a good skiing for everybody, because 80 percent of the mountain has snowmaking capability, with recently expanded night skiing. So ride up the new 4,000-foot triple lift at the only ski destination on the East Coast with stunning views of the ocean. And when it is all over, enjoy Midcoast Maine's award-winning restaurants, scenic harbor views, and vibrant art scene. The town-owned Snow Bowl is fun for the whole family, on and off the mountain.

A short-lived science fiction BBC series from The '70s. Spencer Quist is the head of the Department for the Observation and Measurement of Scientific Work, or "Doomwatch," a government agency which investigates the deadly dangers of unchecked scientific progress. Despite its short run, the series drew in 13.6 million viewers at its peak and elicited topical discussions about embryonic research, noise pollution, animal exploitation, and other issues. Unfortunately, the series was not renewed past its third series and, as was standard BBC practice, many of the show's master tapes were wiped.The original series spawned a 1972 film adaptation, released in the U.S. with the title Island of the Ghouls. A Continuity Reboot series was attempted by Channel Five in 1999, but did not elicit viewer interest past a Made-for-TV Movie aired as the pilot.
House of Cards provides examples of the following tropes:
- Actor Allusion: An unintentional example. Robert Powell's character dies in the service of saving millions, not unlike a certain religious figure that he would become famous for playing years later.
- Anyone Can Die: Toby at the end of "Survival Code."
- The Atoner: Quist feels lingering guilt after helping build the atomic bomb, and witnessing his wife dying from radiation poisoning.
- Banned Episode: A third-series episode called "Sex and Violence" was never aired due to its unflattering caricatures of Moral Guardians such as Mary Whitehouse. It ironically became one of the few episodes the BBC didn't erase, although it still hasn't been transmitted or sold on home video to this day.
- Hope Spot: Toby's death. Toby disarmed a nuclear bomb that had been planted at a seaside pier and, believing the threat was over, lets his wire-cutters drop into the ocean. Then he sees another wire attached to the still-active conventional explosive and...
- Killed Off for Real: Done to Toby at the end of the first series, despite being a main character.
- Quist himself in the 1999 TV pilot.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: The aforementioned episode "Sex and Violence" featured characters based on Lord Longford, Cliff Richard, and especially Mary Whitehouse, hence its Missing Episode status.
- The Plague: The debut episode "Plastic Eaters" has Quist deal with a virus that corrodes plastic materials and causes aeroplanes to fall from the sky.

The Mosquito Man is now the center of a 5 On Your Side investigation.
In May, Courtney Brock joined a group of her Cary neighbors and hired The Mosquito Man. "He sprays the yard, he sprays the bushes, he sprays the trees, all the foliage," Brock told 5 On Your Side.
She paid $300 to owner Tariq Nizam.
Brock says Nizam promised to spray nine to 13 times over the summer. "It worked, I mean you could tell a difference after he had been here," Brock said.
The problem: she believes he only sprayed twice. "Once when he dropped off the invoice at the beginning of May, and then once when he collected the payment, and then we never saw him again."
At least seven of her neighbors also say they paid for services they didn't get.
Steve Gallopo says Nizam, "came three times, and then stopped coming." Mabel Andrew says the same, "despite our repeated requests in the last two months."
We also heard from a viewer in Raleigh. Tashon Ratley hired The Mosquito Man last summer and said he could really tell a difference.
So when he saw an offer pop up this past spring from the online discount voucher company LivingSocial, he bought it.
"I started calling him whenever the mosquitoes started coming out, and I would never get a return call," Ratley complained.
Ratley says he finally left a message threatening to call us to investigate. "'If you do not call me back this time, my next call is going to be to 5 On Your Side' is what I said... Literally, they called me back within a minute."
Ratley says Nizam told him the same thing he emailed to several of the Cary customers. That because of a "high volume of LivingSocial voucher customers," the business was booked this summer, but that he would spray next summer.
"I want my yard sprayed this year," Ratley said. "I did not buy the coupon in 2013."
Several of the Cary neighbors say The Mosquito Man also cited delays because of rain and a computer glitch. "Our neighborhood wasn't showing up on his list of clients ... but he assumed that we were still being serviced," Brock said.
We called Tariq Nizam, who operates out of his home in Wake Forest. He would not do an on-camera interview, but told us he is not overwhelmed by online sales.
Regarding the Cary neighbors, Niman says one of his secretaries made a mistake and that there was no computer glitch. He says he sprayed the yards of Brock and her neighbors nine times, fulfilling his agreement.
Nizam said he would provide us records to show that. He never did.
As for Ratley, Nizam told us that when he went to spray his yard, Ratley complained he was late, told him to leave and not come back.
Ratley was stunned, telling us that never happened.
Nizam eventually hung up on us, then called back apologizing, saying he wanted to be more professional. He said he can't offer refunds "because we offered about a 65 percent discount on the regular price" of the service.
He says he's been "doing everything he can to resolve this."
The customers who contacted 5 On Your Side disagree.
"I would settle for a refund," Ratley said.
"I don't want a credit, I would just like my money back that wasn't used," Brock said, adding, "I'll find another service next year."
Nazim had multiple customers send us emails saying they did see results from the spraying he provided. That's clearly not the issue.
Also, Ratley complained to LivingSocial about The Mosquito Man. He is waiting to hear back. http://www.wral.com/customers-bugged-after-mosquito-man-falls-short-/11642758/

Attorney opening statements and testimony got underway in the trial of an Enterprise man charged with murder.
In July 2007, Joshua Alexander allegedly gunned down Antron Gray in the parking lot of an Enterprise apartment complex.
Shortly after the shooting, police arrested Alexander at a relative's home in Dothan.
Monday, defense lawyers painted the shooting victim as a neighborhood troublemaker.
Several police officers who responded to the shooting were called to testify.
The case is expected to go to the 12-member Coffee County jury sometime Tuesday.
It is unknown at this time whether Alexander will take the witness stand in his own defense.

Charitable Choice:
Federal Guidance on Statutory Provisions Could Improve Consistency of Implementation
GAO-02-887: Published: Sep 10, 2002. Publicly Released: Oct 11, 2002.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7003
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The federal government spends billions of dollars annually to provide services to the needy directly, or through contracts with a large network of social service providers. Faith-based organizations (FBO), such as churches and religiously affiliated entities, are a part of this network and have a long history of providing social services to needy families and individuals. In the past, religious organizations were required to secularize their services and premises, so that their social service activities were distinctly separate from their religious activities, as a condition of receiving public funds. Beginning with the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Congress enacted "charitable choice" provisions, which authorized religious organizations to compete on the same basis as other organizations for federal funding under certain programs without having to alter their religious character or governance. The statutory provisions cover several programs, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Welfare to Work. Similar provisions also apply to the Community Services Block Grant and the substance abuse prevention and treatment programs. GAO found that faith-based organizations receive a small proportion of the government funding provided to nongovernmental contractors. Contracts with faith-based organizations accounted for 8 percent of the $1 billion in federal and state TANF funds spent by state governments on contracts with nongovernmental entities in 2001. Although charitable choice was intended to allow FBOs to contract with government in these programs, several factors continue to constrain the ability of small FBOs to contract with the government. These factors include FBO's lack of awareness of funding opportunities, limited administrative and financial capacity, inexperience with government contracting, and beliefs about the separation of church and state. State and local officials differed in their understanding and implementation of certain charitable choice safeguards, such as the prohibition on the use of federal funds for religious worship or instruction; however, the incidence of problems involving safeguards is unknown. Faith-based organizations are held accountable for performance in the same way as other organizations contracting with the government. However, little information is available to compare the performance of FBOs to that of other organizations.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On September 30, 2003, HHS issued final regulations regarding charitable choice provisions in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, Community Services Block Grant Act, and Subtance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grants. These regulations provide guidance on the charitable choice safeguards that were highlighted in GAO's recommendation.
Recommendation: In order to promote greater consistency of interpretation and implementation of charitable choice provisions, the Secretary of Health and Human Services should issue guidance to the appropriate state and local agencies administering TANF, the Community Service Block Grants and substance abuse prevention and treatment programs on charitable choice safeguards, including the safeguard prohibiting the use of federal funds for religious worship, instruction, or proselytizing and the safeguard concerning a client's right to an alternative (nonreligious) provider. In particular, this guidance should offer clarification concerning allowable activities that a religious organization may engage in while retaining its religious nature.

At the end of the first round which he would have won on the scorecards, Solis' knee gave in, forcing the referee to stop the fight. "La Sombra" had to undergo surgery three times and was unable to get back into the ring so far even though his comeback had been announced a couple of times last year. Now the 2004 Olympic gold medalist and multiple world amateur champion ist finally set to return to action on May 19th in Texas on a show promoted by Kathy Duva (Main Events) along with Ahmet Oner (ARENA).
At the moment Solis is in training camp in Florida with champion coach Pedro Luis Diaz Benitez who is also preparing Miguel Cotto for his light middleweight mega fight against Floyd Mayweather jr. on May 5th in Las Vegas.
"It feels great to be finally back in action and working on my comeback", says Solis. "The last twelve months have been hell with a lot of setbacks but now I'm ready to go at it again. Of course, it adds some extra motivation to work with a great champion like Miguel Cotto. We have lots of fun at camp but, of course, we are both very focused and working hard on our goals."
Solis' opponent for his comeback fight has not been announced yet but promoter Ahmet Oner knows that his fighter doesn't need an easy build up against any kind of journey man.
"Solis is a spezial fighter", says Oner.
"I still believe that he is the biggest force in the heavyweight division besides the Klitschko brothers. In the last weeks and months I heard lots of people talking about the heavyweight division and discussing all different kinds of names as possible Klitschko challengers or heavyweight hopes. I never heard the name Odlanier Solis. People overlooked him because he has been out of action for quite a while but I am sure that his comeback fight will put him right back on the map. We will not waste any time with fights against tomato cans. We are looking for a real test for his comeback. It's not easy because there are not many fighters out there who actually dare to step into the ring with Solis but I'm sure that we will present a good solution very soon. When Solis stays healthy and doesn't suffer any more injuries, I am sure that he will be world champion very soon. We will go after Wladimir Klitschko immediately. But of course, we would be ready for a rematch with Vitali as well. Solis is one of very few fighters in the world who could actually beat both brothers and I am convinced that he will prove it once he gets another chance."
[QUOTE=Superflo777;11952337]You know the medical doctor later admitted he was wrong when he thought Vitali was blind on one eye. I also think these 2 fights are completely different and can't be compared and the Lewis-McCall fight is yet another completely…Comment by Superflo777 on 03-30-2012

Panda paradox: Which came first, a taste for bamboo or a distaste for meat?
This post contributed by Monica Kanojia, Administrative Assistant/Governance for ESA While a vegetarian lifestyle is a choice made by omnivorous humans, the panda population may have been forced to convert to a vegetarian diet between 2 and 7 million years ago to ensure survival. The preference for bamboo is unusual for pandasbecause they are classified as carnivores even though their diet is 99% bamboo. Even more unusual is the...
Inside out: cannibalism, nutrition and swarm formation in locusts
It may be difficult to picture just one locust singled out from a swarm. But believe it or not, desert locusts—insects infamous for their contribution to plagues and famine—are naturally solitary creatures. So what causes the group uprising that farmers are so familiar with? Research has shown that the internal workings of a solitary locust can affect the swarming behavior of the entire group.

Two years ago I ordered one ot their owner's manuals. It was never received and they never credited my account with a refund. Talking to their "Customer Service" will drive you crazy. They appear to be Americans, but dumb as dirt.
Buyer beware: If you register for a conference and can't attend, you will be dinged for a $350 cancellation fee plus the balance will be held on account to be used against a future event. My impression is that this company is facing serious cash flow problems. Therefore I would not invest in any of their life memberships. Who knows how long IL will be around.

The Color Purple
by Alice Walker
The Color Purple Theme of Love
The Color Purple can be a harsh read at times, but it's ultimately a book about the power of love—both romantic and familial. Celie's first experience with love comes from her relationship with her little sister Nettie, whom she fiercely protects, even when it means sacrificing her own wellbeing. For the majority of Celie's life, Nettie is the only person she loves—and is also the only one to return the feeling to Celie. Celie's father and husband are anything but loving to her, and she experiences romantic love for the first time with another woman. In this novel, love isn't necessarily about fidelity, and certainly isn't about gender or marriage. Love is about self-sacrifice, respect, and unconditional care.
Questions About Love
- Who is loved and who loves in The Color Purple? What are the different types of love? Ultimately, is sexual love very important in this novel?
- What are different characters' definitions of love?
- Is love faithful and constant—or fickle? Or both? Why?
- Celie says that Shug is good at loving people. In what ways is this the case?
Chew on This
Though Celie was abused and love-starved, her relationship with Nettie prepared her for true love when it finally came around.
Although Shug loved many and loved well, she was unable to love one at a time. Thus, The Color Purple seems to make the argument that healthy love is not necessarily monogamous.

COLUMBIA CTY, Ga.---Everyone is okay after a house fire in Columbia County this morning. It happened at Silver Lake.
Viewer Dwain Shaw sent in two pictures of the fire.
Investigators say they don't know the cause. They have no reason to think it was suspicious, but with as big as the fire was, they say they may never know that for sure.
The house was destroyed, but the owners do have insurance and no one was seriously hurt.
Like Dwain Shaw, you can send us pictures or video if you see breaking news happen. Just upload them at News 12's See It, Shoot It, Send It.

Other voices on the icon idea for San Diego Bay
Thinking about the proposed "Wings of Freedom" icon and other iconic buildings San Diego has, do you think the region needs another high-profile architectural icon?
Yes 37% (84)
No 63% (143)
227 total votes.
Ever since the idea of a new icon on the way was broached last month, San Diegans and people around the world have weighed. Here is a selection of some of their thoughts. Feel free to add yours and participate in the poll as well.
Note: The extra-San Diego feedback came via the Skyscraper Page, a website for skyscraper enthusiasts, that linked to our coverage and offered site visitors to add their comments. We also drew from comments to the Voice of San Diego website andKPBS, as well as from the U-T's SignOnSan Diego website. The U-T requires posters to list their full names and the Voice's posters names can be seen by clicking on their screen names.
- "It would be cool for San Diego to have a nice, large, noticeable icon, but I think these might be too big and out of scale." — Lakegz, Naning Guangxi, China
- "I say paint them red and just call them the 'Hot Wings' — stealing all of Buffalo's thunder." — Emathias, Chicago
- "This will add to San Diego's tourism industry. Like cities with famous monuments, I think this will prosper as an icon for people to see when they visit, and potentially, this could become a long-term return on investment." — Nipshah
- "It would be cool if you could pay to walk up or take an elevator up to the top of these structures to enjoy the view (and maybe zip line to the ground for the daring)." — OBeaner
- "The bay is absolutely gorgeous and should not be ... overshadowed and blocked by ugly structures." — Katrina Cantu
- "If you are going to go iconic, then have it be attractive. That ('Wings' proposal) would be an eyesore and make San Diego a laughingstock of the solar system." — Steven Hart
- "Funny — seems like the Parisians were saying something very similar 125 years ago about a certain tower — a monstrosity — an eyesore, 'tear it down.' " — Nathan McCain
- "I would like to see a call for open submissions and see what results from that process." — Gloria Smestad
- "This is kind of stuff, like the new library, that will put this city on the map." — Robert Eames
- "The proponents of this mega-expensive titanium-covered monstrosity claim it's a benefit to the city — an Eiffel Tower or St. Louis Arch. Every pothole I hit I curse this idea." — Neal Behnke
- "I love it. But knowing how San Diego works, it is another dream and will never be built. Come on, San Diego, get off your ? and build this beautiful monument!" -- Bill Thomas
- "They look like giant donkey ears to me." — Darlene Bulthuis
- "They should build the colossus of Rhodes, spanning Point Loma to NASNI [North Island Naval Air Station]. Now that will bring the tourists!" -- Nathal Trepal
- "The problem with this thing is that it doesn't serve any purpose; it houses nothing. You can't climb it, etc. Sure, it's dramatic, but so what? For the cost, it needs to be both esthetic and useful." — David Urban
- "Maybe the sails aren't the best design, but let's work towards an icon on the bay." — Eric Svacina
- "It's disheartening to read so much negativity about something that is meant to bring beauty, recognition and wonder to our city. Sure, tehre may be more creative or better ideas, but until those arise, I think we should thank those that have put the effort [forward] to create." -- Trev Madsen
- "San Diego reminds me so much of another small-thinking city, Jacksonville, Fla. All about NO, all about protecting small-minded ideas and small-minded people." -- Marshall Glenn
- "How about no. That is an abomination that is anything but beautiful." -- Dan Twombly
- "Hate the name. Sounds like some George W. Bush 'Mission Accomplished' memorial. Love freedom, love sailing in and around San Diego, and the idea of a distinguished, distinctive, significant landmark structure in this location has great appeal." -- Mark Roberts
- "This is lipstick on a parking structure pig. A park 20 feet in the air is not a park. 'Wings of Freedom' looks and sounds like a feminine hygiene product." -- Mike Gildea, UC Berkeley
- "Let's aspire to do more than decorate our Embarcadero. Let's make it a memorable place and a destination for San Diegans first and also for tourists because that's where San Diegans go." -- Robin Brisebois
- "...dull and not engaging." -- James Andrew Reviczky
- "Finally, a fantastic idea for a fantastic city. We deserve nothing less. I love it!" -- Joe Saad

Canadian newcomer Charlotte Le Bon acted in just four scenes with Dame Helen Mirren in Disney's The Hundred-Foot Journey, but admired the Oscar-winner's sense of confidence right away.
"She's very nice and very generous and she's so confident. I wanna be like that when I grow up."
The 27-year-old Montreal actor, living in Paris, plays the protégé of Mirren's character, restaurateur Madame Mallory, in the Spielberg/Oprah-produced foodie dramedy.
had to have a French accent, and is English, so she was working a lot on that. She's still asking questions and she was really working with us and I like that a lot."
It was a learning curve that Le Bon could relate to, as The Hundred-Foot Journey was her first English-speaking role.
As sous-chef "Marguerite", she also needed to perfect her skills in the kitchen. She turned to her famous chef-friend Jean Imbert in Paris for help, and spent a weekend taking notes at his restaurant, L'Acajou.
'I wanna be like that when I grow up.' - Charlotte Le Bon on working with Dame Helen Mirren
"He's always in movement, always moving, always giving orders, yelling, being a dictator. It's really about that, it's about being a leader."
A former model, then TV host in France, Le Bon first leapt onto the big screen in 2012's Asterix and Obelix: God Save Britannia with Gérard Depardieu.
Fast forward a mere two years and she's the next big thing, starring in a pair of new, high-profile biographical films: as the fashion designer's muse in Yves Saint Laurent, and alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt in director Robert Zemeckis' high-wire tale, The Walk, set for release in 2015.
The Hundred-Foot Journey is in theatres now.

Guess a Wicked Movie Is Happening
Wicked, a word guaranteed to conjure vivid memories for anybody who's been in a marching band or drama club for the last decade or so, is officially going to be a movie.

Well, you done fucked up your Christmas shopping, because one of the gingham jumper getups worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz just sold for $1.56 million—and you didn't buy it. It's like you don't even care.
Someone please get Dog the Bounty Hunter on the line. A $1 million reward is being offered for information that will lead to a missing pair of ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz, reports AP. The pair was stolen from a museum in Judy Garland's hometown of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Aside from the missing pair, three…
Last week, the News Journal in Delaware ran an obituary on 70-year-old Johanna R. Scarpitti, the opening line of which read, "Ding dong the witch is dead." While at first glance it does seem a bit crude, but it was all Scarpitti's idea.
When it comes to adapting the wonderful world of Oz, Hollywood is, admittedly and regrettably, in a bit of a bind. All things Yellow Brick Road and Emerald City are so tightly linked to the 1939 "The Wizard of Oz" that trying to venture back into L. Frank Baum's mythology is treading on the memories of millions of…
No, not anything Bea Arthur wore, Dorothy Zbornak didn't own any damn dresses! Now, if I'd said "white pant suit," then maybe. We're talking about Dorothy from Wizard of Oz! I know, less exciting, but that blue gingham tablecloth-dress fetched a cool $480,000 at Julien's Auctions in Los Angeles. Oppan Gingham Style!…
L. Frank Baum wrote over a dozen books about Oz, including The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which became a musical film starring Judy Garland. But Oz The Great and Powerful, directed by Sam Raimi and starring James Franco, is a horse of a different color. No Munchkins, no tin man, no Lullaby League. This trailer — which…
Nancy Pelosi's Republican challenger is sick of the pussies who simply compare her to the Wicked Witch Of The West. Only he's man enough to shoot an entire Wizard of Oz reenactment with "Pelosi" cast in that role.

Remakes and reimaginings and retellings? Oh, my. As I have mentioned once or twice, The Wizard Of Oz is one of my favorite films. But I'm worried for the Oz projects in the works.
[London, December 1. Image via Getty]
The annual 'Pet-a-Porter' pet fashion show at London's Harrods found many miserable dogs dressed as Wizard of Oz characters and obviously wishing they could click their heels and be somewhere - anywhere - else.
Put on your ruby slippers; a high-definition version of The Wizard of Oz will be hitting 400 theaters on September 23. Rumor has it that the fancy-schmancy high-def version can even dye your eyes to match your gown. Marvelous! [LATimes]
One lawyer is urging other women to use the Wizard of Oz's Dorothy as both example and cautionary tale. "Dorothy was a true leader...She identified the tasks at hand, formulated a plan, and overcame obstacles to reach her goals." [ABAJournal]
Mickey Carroll, one of the last surviving Munchkins from The Wizard Of Oz, died Thursday; the New York Times obit features a great quote from the late actor:
Anyone from the illustrious village of Hastings-on-Hudson can only be thrilled to see that famed former resident, Ziegfeld Follies beauty and Glinda the Good Witch player Billie Burke is getting the biographical treatment:
After 27 years, Indiana's annual Wizard of Oz Festival is no more. The tough economy and aging Munchkins are to blame. [AP]

Cons: Ahmedabad airport is ill equipped to handle international flights. From check in to security, it is highly inefficient and disorganized. When the flight had technical problems there were no jet airways gate agents to help passengers rebook on site or answer questions with proper information- they passed that responsibility on to ethihad airlines in Abu Dhabi- since I missed my connecting flight, my original 10 hour journey turned into a 22 hour ordeal.

Don't do dinner at the lapad
I really wouldn't recommend a half board stay at hotel lapad, the rooms were clean, and it has a nice view over the harbour, but the food is very hit & miss. Breakfasts were okay, but dinners we're hurrendous. Dinner was only 20 euro extra for the week, but even at that it was a total waste, we had 2 dinners there and that was more than enough...anything we ate was seriously over cooked, or swimming in an oily/watery type substance, yuk...the reception staff at the hotel we're helpful, but the waiting staff (with the exception of one person) were bordering on rude. The trek from the hotel to the nearest bus stop is short enough (about 7 mins) but there is no real footpath along the waters edge, and at night time I found this alarming since the road is quite bendy and speeding cars/scooters don't have much regard for pedestrians. The other side of the Lapad peninsula looked like a better option for accomodation, and Cavtat at 30 mins away by bus, is where I would base myself in future.
The best & worst of the hotel lapad
the hotel lapad is okay for croatia but be warned that the bad bits are very bad, rooms 100 to 120 are appalling, 109 being the worst. The bathroom is 5" square & you will bang your toes on the shower basin or your foot will be in a drain pipe at the side of the toilet. This old part has no air con, and the water pipes supplying the toilet flush can be heard all night, 114, 115, 116, are above the restaurant and as it is cleaned and emptied during the night the racket will stop any sleep you think you may get. There are no restaurants nearby or any pubs, the bus service is good, the hotel boat does exist but is never available, the nearby beach quoted is at least a mile away, but is good. The staff are good to indifferent but the woman manager is a nasty piece of work. The nearby riva bistro is a student haunt but a nice cheap basic meal. All other places to eat are in the old city of dubrovnik, spaghetti toni's is very good the one chinese is okay but not a great amount of choice, the excursions are worthwhile, but do not go for the cheapest alternative as it is likely to be an old banger. montenegro via kotor is stunning but the bus drive is terrifying, the mountain very winding and high, find the nerve and go, croatia is beautiful but primitive.
Nice view
nice room with balcony over looking harbour, brill shower, good breakfast kept us going most of the day, evening meal not so good all the meat was tough luke warm veg the salad bar was okour waiter never smiled once. so sort the kitchen out and this hotel would be a joy to stay in
Basic but adequate
We stayed in the old part of the building and is probably the worst accomodation we've stayed in. It was small, no air conditioning and a smelly shower curtain. Speaking to other guests the new part of the building sounded much better. The food in the hotel wasn't too great. Breakfast wasn't too imaginative and dinner was watery soup, the choice of 2 meat dishes, 1 fish and always an omlette. Dessert wasn't too bad. Evening entertainment varied each night from of a man playing a stereo, a woman singing, a magic show and a quiz night. But like the rest of the hotel was basic.
The hotel had a boat service which took you along the coast to a beach only used by hotel guests, and the locals and cost about 22kuna (about �2.20) each and left at 9.30am and came back 4 hours later. That was worth going on if you want a change of scenery, instead of sitting by the pool.
On one of the excursions we went on we went to 4star hotel, and that extra star certainly seemed to make all the difference. If you are looking for a cheap, basic holiday and not planning to spend a lot of time in the hotel then Hotel Lapad will meet your criteria but if your used to that little bit of luxury and want activities and places to visit close by I wolud recomend you look for a 4star hotel.
If you have any questions about Dubrovnik don't hesitate to email me and ask about places to eat, excursions to try and things to avoid!! We did have a good holiday, but 1 week was enough time to see the city and what it had to offer.
Excellent ! 1st time i've been somewhere 2 years running
i enjoyed the first time terribly that i decided to go again the following year. The service was good and the facilities standard. The location was perfect. near to Dubrovnik centre but not too near. The night time entertainment was quite over the top but fun for younger ages and those who enjoy that sort of thing. Food: the food was not great on our first year. There was a buffet salad and a menu for the rest. However, the next year it was great. I , myself am vegetarian and found it hard the first time but the next year a pleasent waitress would come and let us choose what we wanted each night. It was very flexible and I found that good in a big hotel like that. The rooms were clean. Not too big but some came with a balcony which was lovely.Prices are not brilliantly cheap but it was O.K .For someone fussy like me insects were a problem. Massive locusts were the worst of them with one managing to come into our hotel room! The terrace where lunch was available was nice. They really do try hard to make it as nice as possible for you. I for one am going back there again.This was the 1st time i had ever been somewhere 2 years running and thats saying something! I strongly reccomend this as a nice relaxing hotel good for all ages. Hope this helped.
Stay at Hotel Lapad
Lapad hotel is the perfect location for a hotel outside the city walls. It is right on the marina, you can look out at all the cruisers and yachts. Unlike other hotels that are too far away from the sea. A lovely walk into town (20 mins). or a bus which you can catch about two minutes walk away. Taxi boat right outside the door to take you across the marina. There is an old wing and a new wing. The old wing has no a/c, and is fairly small. the new wing is perfectly modern and has everything, balcony, a/c, tv satellite, huge bathrooms, sea views. Its up to you where you want to stay in the old or new wings. Breakfast is vast, every kind of meat, eggs, cheeses, breads, cereals, yoghurts fresh fruit, croissants, pastries, teas, coffees, juices vegetables, - it you think it is bland that's down to your own lack of imagination. In lapad the dinner is usually included in the price for tours (20 Euro per week per person). for this you get choice of three soups, gorgeous salads, (as much as you like). you get a choice of four main courses per night and a choice of four desserts - it's not five star food, but it is just as good as the food you would eat at a restaurant in your own hometown and not think twice about (unless you were going to a five star restaurant every night of your life). Consider that all this costs approx. 3 euro per night and you will not complain. If your dinners are not included in the package then it will cost you 92 kuna per night per person - approx 13 Euro - still excellent value. Try it one night and I bet you come back. Staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a mixture of people that stay in the hotel, from young couples, to families with kids and older people who come on tours. I would not stay anywhere else in Dubrovnik when I go there - it is my second time there and think it is the best situated hotel, compared to the business of the old city, and the hotels outside the city which doesn't come close to Lapad with its lovely walk to town and the marina on its doorstep.
Big tourist hotel, but reasonably good
Lots of big hotels seem to be in the Lapad district - to get to the old city you need to take a bus - too far to walk. However, the hotel is at least on the edge of the new harbour which is nice to wander around. However, the hotel is basically in existence for the summer tourist trade. Service was average. My girlfriend arrived 1 night before me - she was given a really small single room. When I arrived and we switched to a double room, the quality of the room improved dramatically - girlfriend thinks this is because this was a different wing of the hotel. Don't bother with the food at the Hotel Lapad - it's uninspiring, and you can get much better in town - breakfast was bland. Pool is nice to hang around though. Having said all that, if you want to stay in Dubronik in peak season, this place is more than good enough
Good for the money
We had a 2 week holiday here and had a lovely time. Staff were pleasant. Food was fine - fairly basic but we were expecting that and it was so cheap to eat out anyway it didn't really matter. Convenient location - bus stop outside to go straight to the old town, although it could be walked to in around 20 minutes. Beaches/ swimming areas all within easy reach. Croatia is a fab place for a holiday and this hotel is just fine so long as youa re not expecting 5* luxury!
Old world service at modern day prices
Apart from one helpful gentleman, the staff were of little help and are in need of intensive PR training. This place is 30 years behind and given the distance this hotel is from the old city and that newer hotels are springing up right next door to its gates, it'll be out of business in 10 years.
A bit of the new, a lot of the old.....
Hotel Lapad is a lot like the majority of its guests... Old, and in need of a makeover. The rooms are probably still containing the Tito-era furniture and decor, but were comfortable. The bathrooms very well renovated. The restaurant is a bit dodgy, and the staff not the most helpful. The hotel location is a bit of a hike to the bus station, and there are not many bars/restaurants to choose from. If you are looking for excitement, take a tip, and stay near the old city.

So, we listened to Mexican music while eating Bosnian food in a restaurant named for an Indian site while in Croatia.

Twirling Candy must be on best behavior to win the Pacific Classic
DEL MAR John Sadler has never had a champion-caliber horse ride himself into more controversy than Twirling Candy, and it's safe to say the veteran trainer has never had a more impressive cast of owners on one horse, either.
In Sunday's 21st running of the Grade I, $1 million TVG Pacific Classic, Twirling Candy, the 5-2 morning-line favorite, once again will have jockey Joel Rosario, who will try and keep the 4-year-old colt out of trouble and win a race longer than 1 1/8 miles for the first time in the colt's career.
"He's looking great, and we're very excited," Sadler said. "We've emphasized getting him to relax and be patient because he has to do that to run a long distance. We took the blinkers off at Hollywood, and he won the Californian and ran really well in the Gold Cup (third by a neck). We're ready."
Despite his troubles, Twirling Candy has been popular at the betting window. In 10 starts the colt has won seven races, including one Grade I and three Grade IIs. Ranked eighth in the country in the NTRA weekly poll, Twirling Candy has been favored in all three of his 2011 starts and eight of 10 lifetime. He has been the odds-on favorite six times and won four of those.
Twirling Candy won twice at Del Mar last summer, but both races, the 1-mile Oceanside Stakes and the 1 1/8-miles Del Mar Derby, were over the turf.
The Classic, however, is a challenging 1¼ miles on the Polytrack, and Twirling Candy will face nine rivals, three of whom have beaten him to the wire in 3-1 second choice Game on Dude, 8-1 fourth choice Setsuko and 20-1 shot Quindici Man. He'll also contend with upset-minded speedsters Acclamation, Jeranimo and Don Cavallo as well as closers like Setsuko and Tres Borrachos.
Twirling Candy has been more Controversial Candy in a his bigger races. He nearly knocked trainer Art Sherman's Summer Movie out into the Horse Show Arena parking lot shortly after the start of last year's Del Mar Derby, but survived what many felt was a compassionate and kind ruling by the track's stewards. The colt also was on the other side of some NASCAR-like bumping and grinding in this year's Santa Anita Handicap in March when Bob Baffert's Game on Dude received some comparable charity from the stewards.
In the Hollywood Gold Cup, Twirling Candy dueled with both of Baffert's dudes, First Dude and Game on Dude, and finished third as those two nearly finished in a dead heat. First Dude has been retired to stud, but Game on Dude will carry the Baffert colors Sunday along with jockey Chantal Sutherland.
As far as an ownership groups go, Twirling Candy's connections are part of the game's hierarchy, starting with original owner, Rancho Santa Fe's Jenny Craig. She was at the side of her late husband, Sid, when their Candy Ride, Twirling Candy's father, won the 2003 Pacific Classic with superwoman jockey Julie Krone. Other owners include Martin Wygod, horse breeder and owner, Rancho Santa Fe resident and Del Mar Thoroughbred Club director, and William S. Farish, owner of Lane's End Farm in Kentucky, where Candy Ride stands at stud.
"For years, all Sid wanted to do was win the Pacific Classic," Jenny Craig said Wednesday night at the Classic draw at Rancho Valencia. "He called (trainer) Ron McAnally and said, 'Ron, you've got to find me a horse for the Pacific Classic.' Ron located Candy Ride. It was his dream, really, to win it, and nothing would please him more than to see Twirling Candy win the Classic, also."
If Sadler is feeling any extra pressure to win what would be an emotional and sentimental victory for this distinguished group of owners, he's not showing it.
"Twirling Candy is so good that I've never taken him over there not thinking he was going to win," Sadler said. "There's self-imposed pressure because I feel I have the best horse. But I'm really happy with the preparation. Everything is done, and now it's just up to him."
Sadler says his barn's connection to Jenny Craig is a very special one.
"Jenny Craig is one of the really great ladies in California racing," Sadler said. "She's been a big backer of Del Mar and all charities in the San Diego area. She loves to have good horses, loves to watch them run and loves to watch them run at Del Mar. It's always fun to come down here and have a good season for her."

Hi all,
I have a drop down menu that is really too long as it drops off the bottom of the page and whilst I can split it into 2 or even 3 drop downs I would like to keep it as just one.
I'm using WEAVER II theme and there is a pretty large gap between each item on the drop down list but I can't find anywhere that will allow me to alter this "box height". I know Weaver II has a lot of flexibility but I can't find anything on this.
My site address is:
The main menu item is "History".
Any help would be really appreciated, Thanks.

Stemming corruptionPosted on April 21, 2010 | 18 CommentsA friend recently threw out the juicy question of how we can help improve government transparency and accountability in India. Here are my thoughts on how Indian democracy needs improvement towards that end. And raising the ugly head of corruption in this discussion is all too inevitable.
The (Indian) Urban DictionaryPosted on January 29, 2010 | 11 CommentsUrban Planners : There are very few trained urban planners, maybe less than the number of municipal corporations, so urban planning is done by under-trained and under-educated architects or engineers. The urban planner of Pune whom I spoke to told me that he had never seen a major city except Mumbai, not even Delhi. He was coming from a village and did his architecture from a small town, so in his world view,a paved road network was a great stride of urban development. As you know,Pune dreams of being a World Class city attracting people from all over the globe. Studying and seeing global case studies of succesful and failed cities is unimaginable. Remember, the IAS officer who decides which urban plan to go for, gets their inputs from these.
