This week's session was an old-fashioned dungeon crawl with a lot of melee. This can be a little boring to write (but fun to play) so I am going to try and do it almost entirely from the viewpoint of one of the characters.
When last we left, the heroes had stormed a ancient ruin of a keep high in the mountains tracking the evil necromancer. After clearing the above ground ruins they found a passage down under the keep.
Before starting Otrivush Oto took the time to use his knowledge of the arcane (he was a scholar of magic at Candlekeep) to identify some of the equipment taken off of the Orc Shaman. Boots of Elvenkind are identified and are given to Mukah. The shield is +1 and is taken by Talrek. The spear is +1 and is taken by Alcor. Finally a Potion of Healing is given to Mukah.
Once More into the Void Session 22 - Rumble in the DungeonLooking ahead I can see the staircase of stone enters a large stone chamber. The walls are carefully fitted stone blocks covered in a sheen of moisture and mold. Talrek the dwarf murmurs, "this is fine, ancient stonework".
The chamber is large with four stone pillars holding up the ceiling. I hear Alcor call out, "Goblins!" Across the chamber are two goblins readying arrows to fire. One arrow clatters off a pillar but another strikes the drow Thyrell. Alcor, leaps nimbly forward to charge the goblins, then I watch as his foot triggers a pit trap. The entire center of the room's floor falls away. Alcor swings deftly to safety and lands on his feet.
"Trap!" he yells in case no of us have seen it.
The fight is over quickly, before I can even ready a spell. Mukah circles the pit and strikes down one goblin with his sword. Talrek kills the second one with one of his god's spells. I think he calls it Sacred Flame or some such nonsense.
I wander forward carefully intent on taking a peek into the pit.
"Goblins!" Yells Alcor again. More goblins are approaching from the south. One of them fires an arrow and strikes Tinda, Thyrell's wolf. Angrily, Thyrell shoots one of the goblins with an arrow but it continues on toward us. Alcor spears and kills the other goblin. The goblin raises his bow to fire at me, but I speak the arcane words, "Ignis Pessulum!", and point at him. Fire shoots from my index finger and a bolt of flame strikes the goblin in the head killing him.
"Is it clear now?" I ask. Everyone nods. I peer over the edge of the pit. Fifteen feet below the bottom of the pit is an undulating black mass of oil or liquid. No, it is a heaving mass of rodents crawling all over each other. I step back momentarily sickened. That is not worth investigating.
"Ughh! It is full of rats!" Talrek says. I nod. My familiar Artimouse squeaks indignantly from my pocket.
"It looks like only the wolf is injured," I say and gesture toward Tinda who is licking a gash in her side. Thyrell glares at me. "What?" I shrug.
Thyrell sits beside the Wolf and chants a healing prayer. "Damn" he says, "Didn't work!" The drow continues on praying. "Damn!" he curses again. Everyone turns to look at Thryell who is intently going into another round of prayers. I look at Alcor who looks like he is going to say something to Thyrell, but I wave him off. "There!" Thyrell finally says with satisfaction, stands and brushes off his boots. "Let's go".
Looking at Tinda I can see much of the wound has healed.
For the next hour we wander about the maze of passages, not encountering any more goblins but finding a lot of doors that we cannot open. Either they are barred on the other side or they are locked. Probably the goblin that escaped us the day before has warned his friends. Eventually, we head back to the north to a room we explored earlier that was full of wood boards. Mukah tells us he has an idea. Normally, Mukah is the last to volunteer an idea.
Reaching the room Mukah picks up a heavy board, easily six feet long and 6 inches a side. "We, ahh, take and smash the door!" Mukah broadly demonstrates swinging the heavy beam.
"You know, that is actually not a bad idea," Talrek says, "I'll help you swing it like a battering ram!"
"Oh, guys isn't that going to make a lot of noise?" asks Thyrell. We all pause. Then everyone shugs their shoulders. "Oh well, whatever, let's do this" Thyrell sighs. Mukah and Talrek carry the beam into the next room where there are two locked doors. They set up before a double door that is locked.
|Mukah has an idea
On the first swing the makeshift battering ram crashes into the door but it holds. The noise is very loud and I looks about expecting to see goblins piling out of every closed door. I had better put a stop to this before every goblin in the dungeon is on us at once. I am just raising my hands when Talrek and Mukah swing the beam again.
"CRASH!" The beam hits the door with a thunderous crash and both doors fly off their hinges. The pair of door crash to the ground in the corridor beyond. Everyone leans forward to look. In the corridor beyond are a dozen goblins armed to the teeth and not at all surprised. Make that seven goblins actually. They leap to attack climbing over the door.
"Quick! Back out into a circle and hold the door! We can pin them in the doorway!" Thyrell yells and moves forward. Everyone except me moves into a semicircle about the open door. I am not really the guy for melee so I hold back and begin chanting a spell.
"Dormitabis!" I chant and hurl the spell down the corridor. I watch breathtakingly, as the the goblins shake their heads. Some stagger but continue onward. Three of the goblins fall forward and hit hit the floor in a deep slumber. "Ha!" I laugh.
Mukah, Talrek, Alcor and Tinda move up and fight the remaining four goblins. I hear a groaning creek from the north and I turn and see the northern door opening. A scimitar wielding goblin stands in the doorway. Beyond the foul pest is a large chamber, several more goblins and a huge creature. I suck in a startled breath. It looks like some kind of enormous orc and it is carrying the biggest ax I have ever seen. I start to shout out a warning but I can see Talrek and Mukah have already taken notice of the huge orc.
"Orog!" growls Mukah.
The next few minutes are a blur. I try to stay back from the thick of the fight, casting fire bolts. Talrek strikes the orog with Guiding Bolt and Mukah goes into a berserker rage crushing goblins and striking the orog. As the orog forces his way through the doorway, Thyrell bravely tries to stop his charge but the drow is hit twice with the orc's ax and the falls to the floor unmoving. A sneaky goblin strikes me in the side with a knife but Tinda appears from nowhere and rips open the goblin's throat. Just as the orog is starting to stagger under Mukah's attack I use my last powerful magic spell and kill it with a burst of Magic missiles!

Just as the orog is starting to stagger under Mukah's attack I use my last powerful magic spell and kill it with a burst of Magic missiles!
By now Alcor, Mukah, and Talrek have dispatched most of the goblins. But another four goblins appear from behind us to the south and move to attack. Leaving the others to it, Talrek runs over to Thyrell's still form and casts a healing spell. Thyrell stirs, groans and staggers to his feet. He looks about and grimly readies his twin swords.
The four goblins charge and I find myself at the front of the melee? I cast Fire bolt at a goblins moving to attack me but in my haste I botch it and only a tiny spark strikes the goblin. The angry goblin swings at me with his sword. I get my arm up and feel it cut deeply into my forearm. I stagger back blood pouring from my arm. Again Tinda arrives and knocks the goblin to the ground tearing its throat out. Mukah, Alcor and Talrek make short work of the other goblins but one. The last lone goblin drops its sword and runs away.
"Let it go" I wave at the goblin. Mukah had been tensing as if to run after the little bugger. Mukah snorts. "With all this noise they know we are here", I say.
Talrek, as usual is bustling about after the fight, tending wounds and checking goblins and the orog for treasure. He binds the deep cut on my forearm. "We might want to go back to the tower and get some rest to recover" he muses. I want to keep going despite the pain. I don't want to give the goblins a chance to regroup. But Thryrell and Talrek make a convincing argument. While we debate, Talrek casts a ritual detect magic but finds nothing. He tramps about to the north and comes back to report that the room is a torture chamber with plenty of foul remains of humans, goblins and orcs. Thus the horrible smell.
"What was that?" Talrek says suddenly. I pause my breathing and listen. "I don't hear anything?" I look at Alcor and Thyrell. They also do not appear to have heard anything.
"I am not sure," says Talrek, "it felt like the earth shifted. Perhaps these ruins are not very stable".
"Or maybe the goblins are preparing something unpleasant for us!" I say. That earns me a glare from Thyrell but Mukah just snorts.
Talrek calls us to order and we set out for the exit staircase. Carefully we enter the room with the pit trap. Nothing looks disturbed.
"It blocked!" roars Mukah from the staircase. Hurriedly we all move forward. The doors over the staircase are closed and bowed inward like there is a huge weight on the other side. Talrek moves cautiously forward to the door and places a hand on them. He pauses a moment that quickly comes back down the stair.
"We will need to find another way out," he says. "This entrance is closed. It feel like there is a hundred tonnes of rocks blocking the doors. It must have been that disturbance I sensed."
Everyone starts talking at once, except me. I hold my piece and contemplate the best course of action. Talrek finally waves everyone silent. I turn to look at the dwarf.
"We go back to the torture chamber. The door can be locked. Then we rest and recover our breath and get back some spells." Talrek looks meaningfully at everyone. We all nod.
We head back to the torture chamber and lock ourselves in.

Wether you go to People's Park or Zhongshan Park or one of the many other major Parks in Shanghai. Most of them do not only offer small isles of silence and harmony inside a prosperous and never sleeping city, but they also offer places to eat and even small theme parks. One of the more interesting attractions are the small sky-trains, with which you are able to explore large parts of a park. For example you can find one in the north-east of Zhongshan Park. There is a small theme park. To use one of the various attractions there, you have to buy an entrance card first. This entrance card is simlar to the metro card.
The deposit for it is 10 Yuan and then you can charge it for the different attractions, which cost between 10 and 25 Yuan per person. To be honest the primary target group of the attractions are children. But as said before, the small sky-train running through the park is alot of fun, even for grown-ups. With 10 Yuan per person it is not even on of the more expensive attractions. So have fun!

Today is April 15, 2010. It's the dreaded day when all taxpayers must file their income tax returns. Naturally, no one, especially today, loves the I.R.S.! Also, over the years, the I.R.S. has become notorious for zapping many American citizens. Many times, their actions have been justified, including the tax evasion prosecution of the infamous Chicago gangster, Al Capone. Other times, the agency has been criticized, especially when they have raided the homes of average citizens and taken little kids' piggy banks.
But can I tell you a secret? As a former federal prosecutor, I loved handling income tax evasion prosecutions! And I never lost a single tax case! Not only were the I.R.S. agents well trained, but also you should see the well organized case reports they put together for federal prosecutors! I.R.S. agents really know how to spoil federal prosecutors with great, slam dunk cases! And you also should know that most I.R.S. agents I worked with were good, decent folks, too!
So, even though this may be tax day, and even though no one likes the I.R.S., please just remember that many I.R.S. agents are good people and that sometimes they, like you and me, need a hug, too! But not when they take our kids' piggy banks!

Our innovative, interdisciplinary approach to learning science and technology will inspire your child to create and build through hands-on, cross-functional activities and challenges.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach to teaching science and technology gives your child the skills needed to thrive in the 21st century. Your child will explore the leading edge of STEAM subjects using a university-inspired model of learning.
By tackling real-world challenges across the subjects of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM), your child will develop transferable skills such as flexibility, creativity and communication. They will be encouraged to experiment rather than wait for instructions, and will learn that collaboration and critical thinking can solve even the trickiest problems.
Nord Anglia Education is also working with MIT to introduce your child to this innovative way of learning the STEAM subjects which encourages creativity, experimentation, and teaches them how to apply their skills to real-world situations. Watch our film to learn more about our collaboration with MIT.
Every spring term, Nord Anglia students will visit MIT to immerse themselves in a culture of hands-on problem-solving. Your child will meet leading MIT scientists, build and experiment in workshops, and learn about the new discoveries that will shape their future. Activities during the MIT visit include everything from building robots, to bioengineering, to coding. Your child will also have a chance to visit MIT and Harvard allowing them to experience student life at one of these prestigious universities.
Our STEAM teachers participate in workshops at MIT that expose them to the forefront of STEAM research and thinking. Every summer, Nord Anglia teachers visit MIT to receive hands-on training from MIT researchers and renowned academics. Activities include discussions and workshops with leading engineers and scientists about topics such as climate change, food production technologies, city planning and gaming among other things.
Science and technology are traditionally taught separately. Used together they are tools for cracking some of the world's greatest puzzles. Our in-school challenges encourage students to work together every term to find innovative and creative solutions to complex problems. For example, thousands of students at Nord Anglia schools from around the world blended ingenuity and imagination to construct a chain reaction machine. Amazing things happen when you blend the natural curiosity of youth with the learning style of one of the world's most influential universities.

Daniella Grey is one of the most-popular girls at the Big Girl Strip Club and this glimpse into the private Boom Boom Room explains why. Mr. X is a regular and enjoys the action little hottie Daniella gives him.
"She gives me a hard-on that will not go down," declares Mr. X, who raves about Daniella to every customer within earshot. This lap dance fan goes to BGSC once a week to savor Daniella's incredible dances, her balls-deep blow jobs, her huge tits on a tiny, beautiful body and her sweet, tight pussy. Her tight ass, oh, yeah.
Every city should have a BGSC with thick strippers. Why do all the strip clubs we know about only have skinny strippers with very little tit-flesh who look like they all came out of the same factory?
Where are all the strip clubs with chubbies and plumpers? Don't they hire any? Do none of them apply for stripper jobs? It's a shame.

Spoilers for the latest episode of Game of Thrones follow, obviously.
This season, Game of Thrones set out for unexplored territory, moving past the stories in the glacially slow print novels or changing them in significant ways. For the first time, it's difficult or even impossible to know what the "real" story is, and that's part of what makes it so exciting.
This week, we get everything you expect from a Game of Thrones finale: shocking twists, massive betrayals, and the possible deaths of more than one main character. But the most exciting thing about it might be that for the first time in the history of the show, no one in the audience knows what's going to happen next.
In the aftermath of the queen's flight from the fighting pits, her supporting cast gathers in the throne room to figure out what to do. Jorah and Daario decide to head north after the dragon and try to track her down, while Tyrion stays behind to manage the city. Grey Worm will serve as the more visible figurehead, with Tyrion governing from behind the scenes. Varys appears as well to complete the political dream team, and offer the new shadow ruler help from his network of spies. Honestly, if the next season of the show is just a Meereenese version of The West Wing starring these two champs, I would not be upset.
Meanwhile, Daenerys finds herself stranded in the wilderness, where her slightly wounded and possibly lazy dragon refuses to take her back to Meereen. Instead of actually going anywhere, he just wants to lie around on the bones of his enemies and sleep, which is like the dragon version of watching Netflix. She decides to take a walk across the Lord of the Rings landscape, and soon sees a horse—then four, then dozens. It's the Dothraki. The moment she sees the khalasar descending, she takes off her ring and drops it quietly in the grass, a gleaming little breadcrumb for Jorah and Daario to pick up. The swirling mass of riders circles her, thousands strong, until she almost seems to disappear.
In the books: After her escape, Dany finds herself stranded in the Dothraki Sea (note: not an actual sea) with Drogon, who lets her fly around on his back but won't take her back to Meereen. When she gets hungry enough, she decides to start sharing some of Drogon's kills; when the Dothraki find her, she's standing beside a massive black dragon and eating a horse with her bare hands.
Rather than the full force of the khalasar, however, it's a much smaller party: Jhaqo, the khal who replaced Drogo and fifty of his 20,000 riders. Note that Dany really hates Jhaqo; After he proclaimed himself khal, one of his bloodriders took a girl named Eroeh from Dany, had her gang-raped and then killed her. Dany pledged to every god imaginable that "before I am done with them, Mago and Ko Jhaqo will plead for the mercy they showed Eroeh." Think about it this way: If Daenerys had an Arya-style hit list, Jhaqo would be her Meryn Trant.
Jaime and Myrcella set sail for King's Landing, after bidding farewell to Doran and company. Elliara gives Myrcella what seems like an uncomfortably long kiss, but hey—maybe that's just how they do things in Dorne. On their way back, Jaime finally decides to get real with his secret daughter, but after he fumbles around for a while about how love is complicated, Myrcella stops him and says that she already knows the truth about him and Cersei. "And I'm glad. I'm glad that you're my father."
It's one of the greatest moments of his life, the first time when he is not only known but loved and accepted by one of his children. His joy lasts about five seconds, and then Myrcella starts bleeding from her nose. Back on the docks, Elliara wipes what seems to be poisoned lipstick from her lips, drinks what seems to be an antidote from a small vial, and leaves the docks, her vengeance finally sated.
In the books: Jaime never goes to Dorne and Myrcella never comes back from it. Although she loses an ear during a kidnapping attempt led by Doran's daughter, she hasn't died. There's no way to know whether this means she'll die in the books as well, although Maggy the Frog did promise Cersei that she'd see her children wear three golden shrouds, a prophecy that now seems two-thirds fulfilled.
Back in the solitary confinement of the Seven, Cersei is not doing well. This time, when the septa arrives with her daily demand for confession, she agrees and finds herself kneeling at the feet of the High Sparrow. Quiet and contrite, she admits to adultery with Lancel but denies everything else, especially the claims of incest that would threaten her children. The High Sparrow says that she'll still need to have a trial but thanks to her confession, she's free to go back to the Red Keep—after her atonement, of course.
That sounds ominous, which is accurate because it's going to be the worst. The septas come to give her an almost comically rough scrub-down to remove her accumulated filth, and cut off all her beautiful hair. Soon, she finds herself at the steps of the sept with the entire city watching as the High Sparrow announces her repentance, saying she will "cast aside all pride, all artifice, and present herself as the gods made her." They take her clothes, and force her to walk naked through the entire city while a septa walks behind her ringing a bell and shouting "SHAME" over and over like the world's most joyless bird. The throngs of people crowding around her call her a cunt, throw food and possibly excrement at her, and jeer at her until she stumbles and finally falls on her bloody feet.
If it seems like this scene goes on for a really, really long time, that's because it does: around 10 minutes by my count. It's incredibly upsetting, in part because it's such a perfect snapshot of misogyny: a woman stripped naked against her will for being insufficiently chaste and modest is forced to walk through the streets while people call her a whore and threaten to sexually assault her. In a certain sense, Cersei's punishment is the female experience writ large: the cruelty and indignity of being a woman surrounded by people who feel entitled to control, judge and demean you on the basis of your body. I haven't always loved Cersei, but real talk: I hope she heads back to the Great Sept with an army and burns it to the ground.
When she arrives at the Red Keep weeping and stumbling, her uncle Kevan is standing stoically nearby, but Qyburn is the one who rushes in to comforts her and wrap her in a cloak. He also offers her a gift: the newest member of the Kingsguard, a nameless knight in golden armor who stands at least seven feet tall. Qyburn claims that the knight has taken a vow of silence, and will not speak "until all his Grace's enemies are dead." So, basically never. The eyes behind the helm are oddly red, the skin gray. Given the talks between Qyburn and Cersei about his "experiments," and the strange, jerking body we saw beneath the sheet in his laboratory, I suspect that Cersei knows exactly who or what this new knight is. Perhaps that's why, despite everything, her tears stop when her literal knight in shining armor sweeps her up in his arms and carries her away.
Cersei always located her power and identity in her beauty, sometimes by necessity, much like Jaime found it in his sword hand. Now that they've both suffered such terrible losses around the things that once defined them, it will be interesting to see if she changes as much as Jaime did—for better or worse.
In the books: The Silent Sisters shave all hair from Cersei's body, rather than just cut her hair. Right before she begins the walk she remembers that this was where Ned Stark was beheaded, an act that ultimately led her to this moment. She also recalls that after the death of her grandfather, Tywin did the same thing to his father's mistress, humbling her by forcing her to walk through the streets naked. The silent, massive knight is named as Ser Robert Strong, and there is a rather well-supported fan theory about who he might be. Read it here, if you dare. The last words we hear from Cersei are her response to Qyburn's promise that Strong would kill all her enemies: "Yes, oh yes."
The winter storm that halted the march on Winterfell has finally thawed, and Melisandre is both thrilled and 100-percent sure that it's her reward for murdering a little girl. She's been consulting her weird fires again, and she informs Stannis that the future is bright: "The Lord has shown me Bolton banners burning." Have they also shown you lecherous Lannisters luging or mild-manner maesters making milkshakes? Whenever Melisandre's Fun-Time Coloring Book of Fire Visions goes on sale, sign me up for a copy.
Stannis is less thrilled because his daughter is dead, but things are about to get much worse. He finds his wife Selyse hanging from a tree, an apparent suicide. And the hits keep on coming: the sellswords that made up half of Stannis's army fled in the night, taking all the horses with them. And then comes the final blow: the news that Melisandre herself has fled this sinking ship, galloping out of the camp on horseback.
The last Baratheon brother barely pauses when he hears of this final betrayal. The only way is forward: He tells the men to get in formation and march. They walk on foot with their ragged banners to Winterfell but there aren't many of them left. You don't really see how small the army has become until the vastly larger Bolton forces surge around them in a swarm formation and attack like a virus. One soldier screams, "We've got no chance!" And he's right.
In the aftermath, Stannis staggers to his feet among the bodies and cuts down two more Bolton soldiers, but not before taking a nasty wound to the leg. As he slumps against a tree, a figure emerges: Brienne of Tarth. She accuses him of murdering his brother Renly with blood magic, the accusation she has repeated often but few people have believed. "I did," he admits. As she sentences him to die for his crimes, she asks him if he has any last words. He answers with the Stannis-est possible reply: "Go on, do your duty." She swings the blade.
In the books: Rather than betraying Stannis and riding back to the Wall, Melisandre simply never leaves, staying behind when his army sets out for Winterfell. We never find out what happens when he reaches Winterfell. For her part, Brienne is absolutely nowhere near the North at any point in the existing books; instead, she's still wandering around the Riverlands looking for Sansa. I know I say that every week and it's starting to get tiresome, but I promise it's more tiresome when you actually have to read it.
With a little help from a stolen corkscrew, Sansa escapes from her locked bedroom and wanders through the chaos at Winterfell to the broken tower, where she finally lights the candle just a moment too late for Brienne to see it. Apparently she waits around in the tower for the entirety of the battle, because when she finally heads back across the courtyard, the triumphant Bolton troops are already returning. She tries to slip back to her room without anyone noticing, but someone does: a bow-wielding Myranda, who's eager to torment the woman who was elevated above her.
Perhaps the most time-honored way to remove a woman's humanity is to reduce her to biological functions, and so that's exactly what Myranda does. She tells Sansa that while Ramsay might need her claim, "he doesn't need all of you. Just the parts he needs to make his heir, until you've given a boy or two and he's finished using them. Then he's got incredible plans for those parts."
Theon suddenly snaps and pushes Myranda off the balcony. She falls, landing with a wet crack on the courtyard below. When the gates open moments later and Ramsay's men start to return from the battle, Sansa and Theon exchange a look; they both know what will happen to them when Ramsay finds out. And so they step up to the edge of the ramparts, hold hands, and jump off.
In the books: Sansa never returns to Winterfell; instead, her childhood friend Jeyne is propped up as an impostor Arya Stark and married off to Ramsay. There is no confrontation with Myranda because Myranda doesn't exist in the books, but Theon and Jeyne do ultimately try to escape. When the traumatized Jeyne lets out an ill-advised scream that draws the attention of the guards, Theon throws himself and Jeyne off the ramparts rather than fall into Ramsay's hands again.
As promised, there are fresh underage girls waiting for Meryn Trant at the brothel in Braavos, and since he's not just a pedophile but a sadist, he begins by hitting them with a stick. The first two react to the blows, but the third one stays silent and still, even when he hits her again hard enough to break the switch. Guess all those times Trant beat Sansa for Joffrey were pleasure, as well as business.
He chooses the silent girl, and after the others leave, her punches her in the stomach, dropping her to ground. We don't recognize the face that looks up—until she pulls the face away. Underneath it is Arya Stark, who lunges at Trant with a knife and plunges it into his eye. After blinding his other eye, she gags his mouth to quiet the screams, and just keeps stabbing. "Do you know who I am? You know who I am. I'm Arya Stark," she tells him. And then she cuts his throat—the way someone once cut her mother's—and leaves his body on the floor.
It's the bloody, vicious triumph so many Arya fans have been waiting for. In Karate Kid terms, it's the moment where she kicks the Cobra Kai kid in the face and wins the tournament. But Jaqen is not Mister Miyagi, and he's not interested in helping her win any murder trophies. For the Faceless Men, death is a gift you give, not one you take for yourself.
There's a reason she couldn't throw away Needle, Arya Stark's sword: she wasn't ready to give up Arya Stark's revenge. And so when she returns to the House of Black, Jaqen informs her that she has stolen a life from the Many-Faced God, and a debt is owed. At first, it seems like he is going to force poison down her throat, but Jaqen empties the vial down his own throat instead, and falls dead to the ground.
Arya weeps, screaming that he was her friend, but not everyone agrees on that point. "He was no one," says Jaqen, appearing suddenly behind her. "The faces are for no one. You are still someone. And to someone, the faces are as good as poison." When Arya reaches out to touch the corpse, its face pulls away to reveal another face, then another, then another, until the last face is hers. It's the last thing she sees before she goes blind.
In the books: This scene mixes up two different parts of Arya's story: something that happens earlier, and something that happens later. The murder takes place in The Winds of Winter, a book that hasn't actually been published yet. It appeared in one of the preview chapters posted on George R. R. Martin's website, and if you don't want to know any more about it, skip to the next section.
Instead of Meryn Trant, Arya encounters someone else on her hit list: Raff the Sweetling, who killed her friend Lommy back at Harrenhal. She tells Raff that she's been paid to "please" him, and after he follows her to an empty room, she kills him in a way that mirrors Lommy's death. Although Arya does go blind during her time at the House of Black and White, this happens earlier and is part of her training rather than a punishment. After she completes her training and her sight is restored, that's when she's told to assassinate the corrupt insurance salesman, not before.
Safely back at Castle Black, Jon writes his own recap of the last episode for Sam, explaining how the White Walkers are coming to kill them all with an undead army tens of thousands strong. Sam has equally exciting news: He's not longer a virgin! In light of this sexy fact, he begs Jon to send him, Gilly and her baby to Oldtown, so they can escape all the rapists, and give Sam a chance to become a Maester to ultimately replace Aemon at the Wall. Jon agrees.
As the Lord Commander broods in his office one night after Sam's departure, Olly bursts in with some surprising news. They've found a Wildling who claims to knows the whereabouts of his Uncle Benjen, a ranger who disappeared beyond the wall in the first season. Jon rushes out to hear what he has to say, and he finds a small band of his sworn brothers waiting for him with knives, circled around a cross that reads "TRAITOR."
Jon dies the same way Julius Caesar did: stabbed to death over and over again by his former peers and friends. With Caesar, the assassins claimed they were doing it for the Republic, while Jon's killers shout, "for the Watch!" The first man to stab him is Ser Alliser, whom he forgave and elevated to First Ranger, and the last is Olly, the young orphan boy he took under his wing. The look on Jon's face when Olly stabs him is the most heartbreaking of all, perhaps because he loved him a little bit, maybe like a father would. Caesar had an Olly too, except he was named Brutus. The last thing we see this season is the blood seeping into the snow around Jon's body, and the light going out of his eyes.
In the books When Sam and Gilly head for Oldtown, they're accompanied by Maester Aemon, who is still very much alive. Also alive: Mance Rayder, whose death was faked by Melisandre and Stannis. When Jon hears that Arya is being married to Ramsay, he sends Mance to rescue her. Although we don't know for sure if Stannis was truly defeated at Winterfell, Jon receives a taunting letter from Ramsay that not only has Stannis been crushed, but he now holds Mance captive. Jon rallies both the Wildlings and volunteers from the Night's Watch to march against the Boltons—a betrayal of his vow to take no part in external conflicts. That's the final straw that inspires the mutiny, which is led not by Alliser Thorne but by Lord Stewart Bowen Marsh. Olly doesn't take part, because Olly doesn't exist.

About Us
An Interview With Jen Gregorski
What makes your agency different?
I've been in the insurance industry for more than 20 years. I've seen the evolution of an industry, especially in the last 5 years. The internet has changed the way people shop, including myself. People want the speed and efficiency of an online communication, but with the ability to pick up the phone and talk to someone when they have a question or a problem.
The other thing I've learned is people want to deal with someone they trust. At my agency, we work with honesty, integrity and the highest ethical standards, which is why we consistently win the highest sales honors Farmers bestows.
What other services does your office offer?
I realized we had a base of clients that trusted us. Real Estate and insurance are parallel businesses. It seemed like a natural extension to offer people who have their insurance with our agency to work with me to find their next home, or sell the one they are currently living in. It makes both insurance and Real Estate a seamless collaboration.
In addition, many people walk in our agency requesting notary services which we didn't offer until recently. Now, our current clients can use the notary service for free. It's just another convenience service we're trying to offer.
Who are your ideal clients?
I have a wide range of clients. I am able to assist both families and businesses with their insurance needs. I find the most successful clients are the ones who are looking for a long term relationship with an agency that offers a high level of personal service and knowledgeable staff who understands what is most important to them.

Overheard at the MOTY Water Cooler
"Tryouts for the first grade talent show? Well, maybe the students will learn that you don't always win and you can't be a little bitch🤷♀"
Overheard at the MOTY Water Cooler
"I don't want to buy a poinsettia from my 4-year-old. I don't have to do any fundraising until they are in the school long enough for me to be embarrassed about it. Let's hold out for the k-12 tchotchke."
Overheard at the MOTY Water Cooler
"If you haven't done some serious house-cleaning with a baby wipe, I have a feeling we're very different moms. And that's cool. I'm #JustNotingIt"
Overheard at the MOTY Water Cooler
"I hate school so much that I wish I felt empowered to home-school. But that's not my calling. I mean I didn't know Africa was a continent until my husband told me, soooo..."
"Everyone says you'll look back one day and wish for this time with your children. But to be honest, I'm going to look back on it and be glad they can fucking do shit for themselves."
"I'm beginning to think all the physical pain my 4-year-old inflicts on my every day is karmic retribution for the emotional pain I caused my own mother... But then I look at my other two kids, and I know that they were assholes to me in a past life, too, and I just calmly think, 'your turn now!'"
Overheard at the MOTY Water Cooler
"Why TF is it that women have a plethora of birth control options where men have like two? In one calendar year, a woman can get pregnant at the MOST two times. A man can impregnate a woman 365+ times in a year. Yet we are the ones tasked with preventing pregnancy? I'm on a coffee roll against the patriarchy, ladies."
"I'm really proud of myself. I've been waking up at 5 a.m. every day to do yoga even though I'm still nursing. I feel like that takes real discipline. I also feel like I deserve to be skinny for doing this."
"Maybe those 1950s era moms knew what they were doing when they would day drink and ignore their kids for hours."
Overheard at the MOTY Water Cooler
"I didn't sign up for this shit. Pets. Kids. All these living creatures in my house don't give two flying fucks that I rescued their asses and brought them into this world. Nope. Zookeeper Slave, that's my title."
MOTY Mamas
We love our kids. They drive us crazy. We write about it instead of going insane.

The G Suite device policy will restrict non-critical app use for anyone who is using their own personal device for corporate purposes. The advent of Google's apps for work program and the improvements that Google has made to it over the years have made it possible and a lot easier for corporate employees to bring their own devices in to use in place of a corporate-issued device. That said Google has always done its part to try and make sure that devices are as secure as they can be so that no sensitive information is leaked or put at risk, and this is the latest change that Google is making to work towards keeping that security.
In a post today on the G Suite Updates blog, Google notes that while the Google Apps Device Policy has always been there to help keep things secure, it will now only allow people to use the work-related apps that are critical the workplace environment. You can see a sample of what that looks like below but essentially if you have certain work apps installed on your own personal device and the Google App Device Policy is enabled, the Google App Device Policy will alert you if it ever notices that your device has somehow violated the security policy. The Device Policy will then deem the device as non-compliant and lock any non-critical work-related apps down.
In the second screenshot below you can see how this looks. In the work folder with all of the employee's work-related apps which contain files and data sensitive to that workplace, all of them are grayed out with tiny padlock badges in the corner to display that these are no longer usable. The good news is that the Device Policy will remove the restriction on the use of these apps once the security policy violation is taken care of and the non-compliant device is deemed compliant again. For businesses who use Google Apps for Work, Google says that the feature is being pushed out to G Suite apps in both rapid release and scheduled release tracks, though it does state that it could take up to 15 days for all users to see the features available in the apps.

With just under 3 months until the show, the Coachella line up has been announced for the 3-day extravaganza coming up in April. While typically dominated by rock and indie acts, the festival is showing a lot more love to pop and urban as well as several surprising British acts genres this year.
Some stand outs (to me) for each day include:
Day 1 (April 15th): Swedish indie pop star Robyn, R&B legend Lauryn Hill, new indiepop favorites Crystal Castles, R&B's finest and flavor of the moment Cee Lo Green, quirky British pop tart Marina & The Diamonds [who this post is brought to us by her photo just because I think she's pretty & interesting], somber pop duo HURTS, and Britian's newest indiepop singer Clare Maguire.
Day 2 (April 16th): R&B's realest Erykah Badu, Britian's gay club rulers Scissor Sisters, remix extraordinaire Laidback Luke, former Tony! Toni! Tone! member & old school lover Raphael Saadiq, another top remixer Paul van Dyk, plus two more DJ sets by DJ Hype & DJ Marky.
Day 3 (April 17th): Hot rapper Wiz Khalifa, super rap/raggae duo Nas & Damien Marley, French dance diva group Yelle, Britian's top pop rapper Tinie Tempah, the only new female rapper who can compete with Nicki Minaj & M.I.A. protege Rye Rye, Britian's favorite indie/electropop princess Ellie Goulding, British singer-songwriter Eliza Doolittle, and Kanye West becoming only the hip-hop act (after Jay-Z & Beastie Boys) to get the honor of being the headliner to close the show.
While of course there are a TON more great artists on the list, I wanted to point these guys out as some remarkable artists being added to the list.
What do you think of the 2011 Coachella list? I'm really excited and happy about it! I'm actually really interested in going! I've only been to Lollapalooza in Chicago, but this list is fantastic and 2011 may mark when my best friend Jamie and I finally made good of our promise to make a roadtrip to Coachella. Come with us readers!
You can read the entire list by clicking HERE. Who are you guys excited about at Coachella? Anyone you read that you were surprised or interested in? Anyone you suggest I should check out before the show??

Jen. Physical Therapist, Runner, Mom
One of the most important steps to minimizing injury is to use ice post exercise. IceeNow works great!
Bertha. Mom. Ranked Triathlete. Boston Marathoner. Mom.
"I used the wrap (IceeNOW) during the Boston marathon and was quite a success, my injury didn't hurt at all! Thank you very much."
Chris. Tennis Pro. Tennis Dad.
Having a product at your finger tips that offers immediate injury treatment as well as prevention is genius.
The cool sensation and aroma are very soothing and effective.
A great product.
Kat. Mom. First time Boston Marathoner.
I ran the Boston Marathon (and finished) this week. Needless to say my quads were very tight. I'm glad that I had an IceeNow on hand. I wrapped my quad for 15 min and then the other one. It's a great recovery product. I appreciated the lasting soothing sensations. My sons are athletic as well and I will be buying more for all of us. In addition, the owner is very personable and friendly. I highly recommend this product. Thank you Sue!
Christina. CrossFitter, Swimmer, Mom
IceeNow was such a huge help when I sprained my ankle and needed to keep it iced and compressed. I also love that it's reusable and doesn't need to be kept refrigerated or frozen, so I can keep it in my gym bag or car, ready for my next "Oops!" moment!
Fritz. Soccer Dad
IceeNOW came is very handy last weekend. A player on my daughter's soccer team was run over by a side judge. Freak accident, but left left the girl with a very sore wrist. No ice to be found, but I had an IceeNOW bandage with me. It reduced her pain and provided support until she got to the Dr. Unfortunately it was broken but fortunate to have the wrap. Her parents loved it so much they are buying a case!
Cooper. Basketball & Lacrosse Player
I am loving this product, I have chronic ankle sprains and Achilles injuries, this helped the pain a lot!! Would definitely recommend this to any athletes or active person.
Vanessa. Entrepreneur. Active Mom.

Old Boy Stops Round-up Spraying in his California Park
(Beyond Pesticides, March 28, 2006) Add one more park to the growing list of pesticide-free parks being established in this country. Upon seeing posted signs in his local park of plans to spray Roundup, an eleven-year old boy convinced local authorities to halt the spraying. After researching the chemical and finding it could affect humans and wash off into local streams, the boy wrote to local newspaper editors to voice his concerns. His mother contacted the local Marin Beyond Pesticides and their Pesticide-Free Zone Campaign for assistance.
According to the Marin Independent Journal, the planned spraying was part of a $500,000 project to rid weeds in preparation for a new field and trails. "He deserves a lot of credit," said John Elam, general manager of the Tamalpais Community Services District. "He called us on it and we could not defend the use of Roundup." The district will now use a rototiller to rip out the weeds, Elam said.
The work of this boy and the Marin Pesticide-Free Zone Campaign is part of a growing nationwide grassroots effort to stop the aesthetic use of pesticides and promote organic land care techniques. The Marin County group reports that Fairfax, Mill Valley, and Corte Madera, California all have pesticide-free parks. Pesticide-Free Parks are being announced from Plainville, Connecticut to Lawrence, Kansas. For a growing list across the country and a list of the growing number of town-wide organic and integrated pest management policies. see Pesticide-Free Parks.
TAKE ACTION: Contact your local town land manager to discuss how your town-owned lands are being managed. Refer to the pesticide-free zones and policies across the country as models to follow.

In 1999, Gibson and his wife, Bette Gibson, temporarily moved to the Philippines to pursue the self-appointed task of teaching business principles to Filipinos who had served proselytizing missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but hadn't been able to move ahead with their professional ambitions after returning home. The Gibsons, both Latter-day Saints, considered becoming missionaries themselves in order to advance their plans.
"We tried to get a mission call, but there weren't any missions like that at the time," Gibson said.

Recently I've been watching a lot of movies that tug at your heart strings…call me a hopeless romantic but hey everybody has their indulgence. I've realized that I really enjoy critiquing movies and so I am thinking of starting a brand new blog of movie reviews! With the present situation that exists I may as well utilize my time indoors wisely. All of these movies were special in their own rite; there was an intense plot, tension and drama that kept you on the edge of your seat at all times. The ending was classic and it made you feel as though you were in the movie as you fell in love with the characters and their magnetic charm.
Stay glued…more to come soon….
What are some of your favs?? do share!

5 "EASY" Stars
Jesus H. I have the worst book hangover…
I have loved this group of fighter pilots from the start. Burn was the level headed guy, Thor the silent and deep water, Easy the…well…easy going one, a big kid with a quick smile and little depth. Well no, we KNEW that he had layers upon layers about him…
Dani's life took a tragic turn when her husband lost orientation, crashing down to earth while sitting in a fighter jet. She has been trying hard to find a semblance of normalcy but the void in her heart and house is overwhelming at the best of times. The most simple tasks have become a Herculean effort:
"Do you want matte or gloss?" I blinked, the paint cans blurring before me. What type of paint did you use to erase a broken dream? No fucking clue.
Through it all there has been one constant: Alex "Easy" Rogers. He has been her rock, a friend she can count on whenever she feels the ground slip away under her feet.
Easy has been in love with Dani since the first time he laid eyes on her, his reputation as a player a distraction from his love for her. Being his squadron leader's wife he never acted on his feelings, the bro-code of honor he lives by has always been too important to him. The guilt that comes with his friend's death smothers him and he would do anything to help Dani through the worst time of her life.
I would have given everything I had to trade places with him, so he could have come back for her.
For the hours Dani spends with Easy she gets relief from the soul deep grief she feels. At the same time there is guilt because she doesn't want to forget her husband, but Alex awakes feelings in her she hasn't felt in a long time. When they escalate they have to face consequences they didn't see coming.
"Don't you get it by now? There is no one else. There never will be anyone else. There's just her."
I fell in love with Easy in the first book of the series and he has been holding a soft spot in my heart ever since. If there is a perfect man out there who is anything like him, raise your hand and tell me where you are. I want to call DIBS. That guy? Utter perfection. He is EVERY-FUCKING-THING. Understanding, tender, loving, funny, loyal, generous, strong, and has so many layers upon layers upon layers that you would have to spend a lifetime with this guy and still would not find the end of his larger than life personality. He is simply everything a woman can want from a man. My heart shattered for him, every time his was crushed yet again by the love of his life. Yet this woman brought out the best man he could be.
I loved her, and loving someone was more about them than you, so it didn't matter what I wanted.
His unrequited but irrevocable love for Dani was the reason that made me love him so hard. The reputation he had as a player, his silent suffering, his quick smiles despite it, it all added to his appeal.
Dani was such a wonderfully broken heroine. It was hard to watch her pick up her life and start from scratch. Her guilt over wanting to move on is so misguided yet understandable, she loved her husband deeply. Even with Easy's help it is everything but easy. She is confused and afraid and has had her soul stripped to the essence of it – first by the death of her husband and then by Easy. Dani always tries to do the right thing. She knows what she has in Alex, loves him just as much and once her feelings started to change I could hear an imaginary faint "halleluja" from all people involved, including Joker. I felt relief when the angst eased and was genuinely happy for these two.
"I've loved you in so many ways— my friend, my family, my lover."
The insane sexual chemistry between these two was magnificent. It was in every word, every sigh, it was so intimate that I almost felt like a stalker looking in.
This was a worthy conclusion of this series and I think Chanel Cleeton has outdone herself. There was lots of angst, lots of tears and a huuuuge amount of love. Each and everyone of the books in this series is a favorite of mine, honest to God, but Easy is hands down one of my all-time favorite heroes. I mourn the fact that Chanel Cleeton is done with this series. I truly hope that she will return to the fighter pilots one day and write more of them. There is something about this group of men that is irresistible. Until then I'll just read whatever she throws at me because, honestly, this author has talent in spades.
"Are you ready to go home?" she asked when she was right in front of me, and I nodded, my throat and heart suddenly so fucking full. She might not have realized it, but I'd been home ever since I'd stepped off that ladder and taken her into my arms. She was my home.

A survey of current feeding regimens for vitamins and trace minerals in the US swine industry
Josh R. Flohr, PhD; Joel M. DeRouchey, PhD; Jason C. Woodworth, PhD; Mike D. Tokach, PhD; Robert D. Goodband, PhD; Steve S. Dritz, DVM, PhD

PDF version is available online.
Objective: To describe added vitamin and trace-mineral concentrations used in the US swine industry for breeding and growing pigs.
Materials and methods: A convenience sample survey of nutritionists from 18 US swine production systems representing approximately 2.3 million sows or 40% of the US sow herd was conducted to characterize added vitamin and trace-mineral concentrations in swine diets. Data were compiled by dietary phases to determine descriptive statistics. Nutrients evaluated were vitamins A, D, E, and K; biotin; choline; folic acid; niacin; pantothenic acid; pyridoxine; riboflavin; thiamin; vitamin B12; betaine; vitamin C; carnitine; copper; iodine; iron; manganese; selenium; zinc; cobalt; and chromium. Questions about supplementation of vitamin D from a cross-linked vitamin AD3 beadlet, potential use of natural (d-alpha-tocopherol) vitamin E as a source of vitamin E, and the use of chelated trace minerals were included.
Results: Results indicated variation, but most vitamins and trace minerals were included at concentrations above the total dietary requirement estimates reported by the National Research Council (2012). Chelated sources for partial or complete supplementation of copper, manganese, or zinc ranged from none to 46% and none to 77% for chelated selenium across diet type. The chelated sources were more prevalent in breeding-herd and nursery-pig diets.
Implications: Adding a margin of safety for vitamin and trace-mineral supplementation appears to be standard practice in US swine diets. This survey provides a baseline for supplementation rates of the vitamins and trace minerals used in the US swine industry.
