World Cup 2018: Belgium vs Tunisia prediction, odds, team line-ups and preview as the Red Devils look to keep the heat on in Group G
After victory over Panama first up, Belgium will look to further flex their muscles against a Tunisia side still licking their wounds after a last-gasp defeat to England
DESPITE the 3-0 scoreline against Panama, Belgium received some fierce criticism for their laboured first-half performance in their Group G opener.
So Roberto Martinez's men will want to put on a show in Moscow - and seal their spot in the last 16.
Tunisia will look to frustrate the Red Devils, much like they did against England before Harry Kane's injury-time winner.
The nation expects:
Belgium supporters will be expecting another three points and a hatful of goals. They are disappointed with anything else these days.
Tunisia have never got out of a World Cup group stage and their fans would be overjoyed with a point.
Key battles/star men:
Romelu Lukaku was accused of "hiding" in the first half against Panama by his team-mate Eden Hazard.
No.1 DESTINATION For our World Cup exclusives, gossip, action, video and fun
More from World Cup 2018
But he scored twice after the break and he will have the Golden Boot firmly in his sights.
For Tunisia, Sunderland's Wahbi Khazri - despite being quiet against England - will be the man tasked with getting at Belgium's backline.
Weakest links:
Belgium's left wing-back Yannick Carrasco leaves gaping holes behind him when he goes flying down the flank.
Tunisia look vulnerable from set-pieces having scored twice from corners against England.
Likely line-ups and Team Talk:
Martinez is expected to pick the same starting XI. Thomas Vermaelen is back in training after a hamstring injury but is unlikely to be risked. Vincent Kompany is still out with a groin problem.
Belgium likely (3-4-2-1): Courtois; Alderweireld, Boyata, Vertonghen; Meunier, De Bruyne, Witsel, Carrasco; Mertens, Hazard; Lukaku.
Tunisia keeper Mouez Hassen is out of the World Cup after injuring his shoulder against England. Farouk Ben Mustapha is expected to take his place.
Tunisia likely (4-1-4-1): Ben Mustapha; Bronn, S Ben Youssef, Meriah, Maaloul; Skhiri; F Ben Youssef, Sassi, Badri, Sliti; Khazri.
Best Bet
Romelu Lukaku grabbed a double in the opening match against Panama, can he keep it up? Betway is offering 20-1 for the Manchester United striker to net again in a 1-0 win.
Prem Tsar in the making:
Thorgan Hazard younger brother of Eden - began his career at Chelsea but never played a first-team game.
He is now a regular at Borussia Mönchengladbach and looks ready for a Premier League return.
Fact Me
- This will be the fourth meeting between Belgium and Tunisia, with both nations winning one game and sharing one draw.
- The most recent meeting between Belgium and Tunisia was a friendly in 2014, with Dries Mertens scoring a late winner for Belgium in a 1-0 win in Brussels.
- This is Belgium and Tunisia's second meeting at a World Cup tournament – they previously drew 1-1 in the 2002 group stages, in what was Tunisia's only point in that edition.
- Belgium are unbeaten in their three previous World Cup games against African opponents, with a draw against Tunisia in 2002 the only game they failed to win.
- Belgium are unbeaten in their last 10 World Cup group games, winning the last five in a row (W5 D5 L0).
- Each of Belgium's last 11 World Cup goals have come after half-time.
- Tunisia are winless in their last 12 World Cup matches (D4 L8), since beating Mexico in their first ever match in the competition (3-1 in 1978).
- The last team to have a longer winless run in the World Cup than Tunisia's current run of 12 was South Korea (14 games between 1954 and 1998).
- Tunisia have scored with their only shot on target so far at this World Cup.
- Only Jan Ceulemans (6) has scored more goals in major tournaments for Belgium (World Cup and European Championships) than Romelu Lukaku (5, level with Marc Wilmots).

Corporate Learning Games: A Good Strategy?
Do adults still like to play games? In many cases, yes. Corporate learning games can be an interesting solution to educating your employees, but it's not without its pitfalls. Keep reading to learn how to make this strategy work for you.
Why Choose Games?
With education games solutions, you can make some really dull topics more engaging for employees. When you need to pass off compliance training or policy learning as engaging, you may have to encourage some employees. Sure, they're you're employees, and their job is to do what you need them to do; that includes taking training modules. But games can make the difference between passively accepting new information and engaging with it in a memorable and motivating way.
What Type of Games Can Be Played?
In corporate learning, a few different gaming solutions can be played. Some companies take a trivia approach, where teams or individuals can collect points for correctly recalling the new information learned. Some games have more of a challenging setup, where teams or individual employees earn incentives for completing different tasks. They can be scored on speed, accuracy, or the creativity of a problem solution. Other games may have teams work together to solve problems creatively.
Games can be played as a group for a social learning experience, or they can be played over a longer term within the office. Either way, they certainly add a fun element to learning new material.
What Are the Benefits of Games?
Games are a way to inject personality into learning. It's a nice way to acknowledge that you're having employees do something extra for the company. In return, you're doing something extra for them.
What Do You Have to Be Careful About?
There are a few things to be careful about. The first is the seriousness of the material. While you want the games to be fun, you also want to convey the appropriate level of seriousness about learning the material. That's why games are often part of a larger education strategy that includes more traditional methods, such as book learning or online quizzes.
Another thing to look out for is that some people won't necessarily like the gaming or competitive approach. You can make participation in games optional. But also be sure to create a cooperative environment, rather than one that is sheerly competitive. That will make educational gaming more fun for all employees in the room.

I-5 Lid Feasibility Study
What's Happening Now?
City Selects I-5 Lid Feasibility Study Consultant Team
We have selected a consultant team led by WSP, a global engineering firm with extensive local experience, for a feasibility study to explore opportunities for further lidding Interstate 5 between Denny Way and Madison Street in downtown Seattle. The WSP team also includes the local and national firms of Shiels Obletz Johnsen, OJB Landscape Architecture, Magnusson Klemencic Associates, BergerABAM, Rule Seven, Framework, HR&A Advisors and Enviroissues. Visit our blog for more information.
We are launching a study to explore the feasibility of building a new lid, or lids, across Interstate 5 in the core of Seattle's downtown, expanding from the existing lids of Freeway Park and the Washington State Convention Center. The study will investigate structural, urban design and financial solutions that would bridge the highway, support new uses, and reconnect neighborhoods that have been divided for over 50 years.
The study is being funded as part of the "community benefit agreement" related to the Washington State Convention Center's expansion. These funds were secured thanks to the hard work and passion of community members who have been exploring and advancing the Lid I-5 proposal. While this advocacy effort is separate from the feasibility study, the group's work will help inform the analysis and two of their members will be included on the study's Steering Committee along with other stakeholder group representatives. For more information on the Lid I-5 group and their work, visit their website.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) for consultant services was released in December 2018.
Watch our Director, Sam Assefa comment on Seattle's growth and the lid concept in this video produced by the Lid I-5 campaign.

Print Recipe
Makes 6 large muffins.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. To make paper cases, cut 6 x 20cm square pieces and line muffin pan.
Mix the flour, salt and caster sugar together. Add vanilla extract, egg, Vaalia Yoghurt and butter and beat until smooth.
Add approximately ¾ of the diced apricots, sultanas and oats to the muffin mixture and fold through. Spoon the mix into the muffin paper cases and sprinkle remaining apricot, sultanas and oat mixture on top of each muffin. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until risen and golden. Allow to cool slightly.
Serve muffins warm or cold with Vaalia French Vanilla Yoghurt on the side.
Nutritional analysis per serving (6 servings)
Note: The information shown is Edamam's estimate based on available ingredients and preparation. It should not be considered a substitute for a professional nutritionist's advice.
If you prefer your muffins less sweet, replace Vaalia French Vanilla Yoghurt with Vaalia Low Fat Natural Yoghurt.
Dried fruit and oats can be replaced with a similar quantity (90g) of muesli or berries of your choice.
Nutritional Analysis Per Serve:
1250kJ (298 Calories); 5.7g Protein; 9.0g Total Fat (5.2g Saturated Fat); 48.5g Carbohydrate (27.5g Sugar); 69mg Calcium (9% RDI).
Did you know…?
While the probiotics in Vaalia Yoghurt don't survive baking in the oven, adding Vaalia Yoghurt to this muffin base gives them a great light texture and keeps the total fat content below 10g per serve. Using Vaalia yoghurt as a low fat cooking ingredient also provides all the other great nutritional benefits of dairy foods such as protein, B group vitamins and calcium.
Because probiotics are living organisms, they cannot survive the cooking process, but a side serve of Vaalia straight from the fridge will do the trick!

Author & Editor Teams: Writing a Horror Novel with Chandler Baker
Ever been curious about editor/author relationships? In honor of our newly announced acceptance of All YA, we'll be featuring different editor/author teams in different genres each week. First up, Horror! Chandler Baker, author of Teen Frankenstein and Teen Hyde, tag-teamed with her editor, Holly West, to answer some burning questions about crafting scary stories (and the importance of cohesive group Halloween costumes, of course). And be sure to check back tomorrow for Chandler's questions for Holly!
Don't you just love chilling tales of murder, monsters and things that go bump in the night? WE SURE DO! BOO!
Holly West (HW): Let's start off with something fun... what's your favorite scary movie?
Chandler Baker (CB): This is tough because, each October, my husband and I watch A LOT of horror movies. We've watched a particularly good crop this year, so I feel compelled to choose a recent favorite, which is The Witch, an excellent period film about a Puritan family banished from a plantation whose faith in each other is tested by the possibility of a witch in their midst.
HW: You're currently working on your third High School Horror novel at the moment (which I'm really looking forward to—You know I'm a huge Phantom fan). Now that you've got a couple of novels under your belt, what would you say was the most rewarding part of writing a horror novel?
CB: One of the things I love about all mediums of horror entertainment is the physical reaction it can bring out in the audience. Your pulse literally rises, palms get clammy, and you want desperately to look away while not being able to peel your eyes from the story—and that occurs completely from the comfort of your couch. Crazy! So I find real pleasure in hearing about those reactions from my readers. Either when they get goosebumps or find themselves too anxious to read my books at night or have a piece of unsettling imagery stick with them long after they've turned the last page.
HW: And, what is the most challenging part of writing horror?
CB: Horror movie directors have a lot of tools at their disposal. They can make a shot off center in a way that instinctively disturbs the viewer because we're not sure what's happening just off screen. They have creepy soundtracks. They have jump scares and special effects. A writer has to create all that, but with only a single tool—words. No easy feat!
HW: A lot of the inspiration for both Teen Frankenstein and Teen Hyde came from the classic horror. Do you have any advice for writers interested in writing horror?
CB: Atmosphere, atmosphere, atmosphere! I think if you're going to focus on one aspect of writing horror, it's that. Look for setting and set pieces within scenes that will lend a hand in creating an unsettling mood for your reader. Horror, to me at least, is probably 80% about suspense and imagery. So linger there.
HW: Every author I've worked with has a different writing process. Can you describe yours?
CB: It changes from book to book. I call myself a recovering pantser, which means I'm just starting to try to rehabilitate myself into someone that outlines. For the last couple books, I've put together a chapter by chapter outline, which I share with you (!) and we discuss until we're happy with it. The actual drafting always lends a few surprises, but it's been very freeing to have the course set before I truly put pen to paper. I've also been enjoying the process of zero drafting, which for me means I'll spend one day writing a bare bones version of the scene consisting of some actions that I know I'll hit, dialogue and emotions I want to convey, but it's very short and rough. The next day I go back and fill in the chapter to a form that I'm more happy with. When I get stuck I also do a four minute list-making exercise. First minute I jot down all the places a scene could take place, second minute all the objects that would be in that setting, third minute any emotions that the setting, the scene or the set pieces would make my main character feel and lastly I write a minute of any descriptions or lines that come to mind. It's very effective!
HW: And finally, are you dressing up for Halloween this year?
CB: Yes! Of course. And this is breaking news! (Because my husband is militant about our family Halloween costumes being a surprise.) Bear in mind we have a one year old this year so our days of scary costuming are on hold. Our family will be doing a Grease-inspired dress up. My daughter will be preppy Sandra Dee and I'll be the end-of-the-movie version while my husband will be a greaser. Naturally, we'll be adorable. ;)

I'm almost 26.
I'm have no real education.
I haven't been Able to find someone to love me.
How did this happen, how did I let this happen.
I never though I'd be that girl. The girl who didn't know her next step or not have an answer to life. I feel to old to be doing what I'm doing in life. Everyone of my friend's seems to have it figured out or atleast seem to. There all in love, so I guess that's my biggest issue. I'm lonley I want to feel the love that they feel. I want a man to look at my and not only want me forever but can show it to. I've never talked about my ex before on here and what happened. Long story short he promised me the world, he promised he never hurt me. He waited 5 years to be with me and when I told him I was falling for him he left. No phone calls no msgs nothing. He walked out of my life never my heart. I was devastated still am. Now I have all these fears that I'm never going to be able to allow myself to feel like this.
A few months back a friend of mine told him he liked me and if it wasn't for his past where he caught an STD he would of asked me out, I laughed and thought I would never date ur one of my best guy friends, get real. Then I realized it wasn't just him, it was more me. I didnt want to date him because I didn't want to get hurt, I didn't want to take the chance of having someone else decide I'm not worth being with.
The being loved by a man issue is the least of my worries I feel like when I looked into the future when I was a kid I thought when I turned 26 I'd be happily married, not that I'd be asking myself am I capable of being loved. Your parents are the first ppl to fall in luv with you, there suppose to love you unconditionally. There not suppose to ask you to leave at 16 because ur not able to understand ur child. And there not suppose to just walk away and stop talking to u when u ask for answers and get closure on ur past. I feel silly and ungrateful for complaining about my parents because God gave me my Amy & pock and I couldn't be more grateful they way my life turned out.
I just can't help the way I feel or make since of it, but the point of my blog is to have something to reflect back on to understand where I came from when I can't remember

Brighton MP to stand down from seat on council
Brighton Kemptown MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle is to resign his East Brighton seat on Brighton and Hove City Council.
Mr Russell-Moyle, 31, was elected to the House of Commons at the general election in June with a majority of almost 10,000.
He won his parliamentary seat just 10 months after winning a by-election to represent the council ward that includes Whitehawk.
But he has written to fellow Labour Party members to say that a selection timetable has been agreed even though he has not yet resigned.
He and his party colleagues are keen to have a candidate in place when he resigns from the council in the coming weeks.
Mr Russell-Moyle is expected to resign formally in the final week of the year or, at the latest, during the first week of 2018.
The by-election to vote in a new councillor is likely to take place on Thursday 1 February or Thursday 8 February.
The new councillor should then be able to take part in the debate and vote on the council's budget for the coming year.
Candidates have until next Thursday (14 December) to put themselves forward, with the hustings and selection meeting scheduled for a week later (Thursday 21 December).
Mr Russell-Moyle said: "It is a real honour to represent you as one of your local councillors as well as your newly elected Member of Parliament.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time representing my home ward on the council and working with the Labour group to deliver for the people of East Brighton.
"The general election in June was completely unexpected but thanks to the hard work of our members like you, I became your Member of Parliament.
"However, I believe that now is the time to hand over the reins as your local councillor to someone that can dedicate the time and energy to our local area – to someone who has the track record, the passion, someone who know the area like the back of their hand, someone that will support our schools, adult social care, youth work."The council has achieved a lot in the last few years, including building hundreds of new council homes, this week signing the first ever union agreement between the council and the unions, saving youth services and much more.

The poor love's clearly been struggling with the workload: I've emailed him on two different occasions since he was elected, asking him to attend upcoming parliamentary debates and vote to pass pieces of legislation about which I felt strongly. I finally received identical copypasted replies on different days this week, apologising for not responding sooner and explaining that "the transition period has been incredibly busy with Lloyd settling into Parliament, locating a constituency office, hiring staff, and dealing with an influx of casework, so we are still working through a backlog of correspondence" and asserting that although he hadn't attended and voted "due to prior commitments in the constituency", he would support the bills at future readings.
Clearly his minions are working through emails and sending the same reply regardless of the topic.
It was such a good feeling to see the back of Simon "Swiss Toni" Kirby,but maybe Lloyd's not up to the job.

Hello Fishwife:
You can see my voting record here http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/mp.php?id=uk.org.publicwhip/member/41771#divisions where I have attended almost all votes (only missing some votes on Scotland or other issues that don't directly effect our constituency).
Of course sometimes things done get to a vote (ie they pass unapposed) and when that happens I pledge to vote for it at second abd thrid Reading if I'm in favour despite there not being a vote.

So if you had that much of a workload as an M.P why has it taken you so long to stand aside as a Councillor?
December 10, 2017 at 11:34 am
So you're saying that, in your opinion, the fact that people have died due to the use of excessive restraint in mental health units doesn't affect our constituency. Thanks for clarifying.

However, I believe that now is the time to hand over the reigns….
So, he was king as well?!
December 9, 2017 at 8:38 pm
Interesting that he says the Council has achieved a lot over the past "few" years.
I take it that "few" is more than "two" years – and so Lloyd Russell-Moyle is crediting the Greens with all that they did despite the abuse from cllr Morgan with his disgusting Vote of No-Confidence Motion.
December 11, 2017 at 4:33 pm
I don't imagine the timing of Lloyd's resignation is coincidental. Labour members have just chosen the executive of the new LCF (or Local Campaign Forum). It has a key say in who can put themselves up for election, with local branches usually having the final say. Not surprisingly the LCF in Brighton & Hove is dominated by Corbynites. And Lloyd is a Corbynite himself.
While he is putting himself about the constituency a bit more than Simon Kirby, he does seem to be facing similar issues in terms of keeping his constituents satisfied.

Easy Pasta Recipe for a Weeknight Meal
Being married to an Italian has afforded me the luxury of getting to know authentic Italian cuisine very well. I LOVE Italian food, and I could eat my weight in pasta, so trying new types makes me happy! I give my Italian cooking a little American twist (GARLIC!!), but so far, no complaints. The BEST thing about pasta, is it's a quick, easy, delicious meal when you are exhausted from a busy day or in a rush to get supper done!
The beef sauce I made with this papiri pasta is one of two meat sauces I make and is the quicker, simpler one I use when I want to make an easy dinner. It's simply beef, pasta sauce, canned tomato sauce, grated Parmesan cheese and I add my own seasonings and herbs to kick it up a little.
So what's papiri pasta? It's a pasta that isn't well known in the states, but it absolutely should be! It gets its name from papyrus, because it's rolled like a scroll. I found the pasta at an international market that is close to where I live. I could literally lose myself in that store for hours, exploring all the foods from around the world.
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Pasta with Meat Sauce Ingredients
1 lb of your favorite pasta (I used this Papiri Pasta)
1 lb of Organic 93% Lean Ground Beef
24 oz jar of your favorite Pasta Sauce
12 oz of Organic Tomato Sauce
2 Tablespoons of fresh garlic paste
3 Tablespoons of freshly chopped Oregano
1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper
Salt for pasta water
Salt/Pepper to taste
4 Tablespoons of fresh grated Parmesan cheese (2 for the sauce, reserve 2 to top your pasta for serving)
Instructions for Cooking
- Brown hamburger meat.
- Place water on and bring to boil (add salt to water to enhance pasta flavor)
- Add garlic, tomato sauce, pasta sauce, oregano, crushed red pepper , Parmesan cheese and salt/pepper to your browned hamburger meat.
- Let simmer for 15 minutes.
- While the pasta sauce simmers on low, start cooking the pasta for 10 minutes.
- Once the pasta is al dente, combine the pasta with your beef sauce. Cook for a minute so the pasta absorbs a little of the sauce.
- Serve and top with Parmesan cheese.
- When you salt your water for the pasta, you want it as salty as the sea.
- Authentic Italian food doesn't actually use much garlic, that's an American thing!
- You can use any type of ground meat you like, chicken, turkey, pork, etc…
Buon Appetito

Living Well: Impella heart pump saves man's life
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.– While working on a roof in Camden, 60-year-old Mark Cook started to feel weak.
"Something I have never felt before. I knew something was wrong," says Mark Cook. "It was just a tightness, discomfort, almost nauseating."
Of all the days he was working, it just so happened Mark's wife was there. She immediately rushed him to the emergency room where doctors found Mark was having a heart attack. They flew him to Baptist Health in Little Rock for treatment.
"They determined I was in carcinogenic shock and by then knew that I had the blockage in the artery," says Cook.
The one device Interventional Cardiologist, Thomas Conley, turned to was the Impella heart pump.
"It circulates the blood for someone who's heart is not capable of circulating it," says Thomas Conley, Baptist Health Interventional Cardiologist.
It's a small pump and it goes in through an artery in the leg or arm, passes up the aorta, goes around it and down into the heart. When you turn on the turbine, it circulates and basically sucks the blood out of the heart and ejects it through an exit port to circulate blood to the body.
"So you went from someone where you had less than 50/50 chance of living to where now you've got an 85 percent chance of walking out of the hospital. It's pretty dramatic stuff," says Dr. Conley.
The Impella heart pump has been used in Baptist Health for five years now, and it's changing lives.
"The Impella made it possible for me to recover," says Cook.
Mark says the fact this kind of technology exists is amazing. In fact, he went to an event at the hospital to learn more about the device that saved his life.
"I'm fascinated by it now because it happened to me," says Cook.

Thanks to Fanelight for going over the story and making it awesome.
Harry was up in a flash as he heard the Patronus enter the tent where Draco, Ron, Neville and him had slowly been recuperating their magic after a battle with some Dementors the night before.
He watched as Neville and Draco had already started preparing themselves ready. As for Ron, well, he was still snoring his little red head out. "Ron, wake up!", Harry shouted in his ear.
"Bloody hell, Harry! What's going on?", asked Ron as he slowly got out of bed. "Hurry up, Ron! The Patronus said that they have found the Dementors and are looking to head back to Hogwarts."
Harry looked at Neville who had the sword of Gryffindor in his hand. He gave him a nervous look and spoke,
"Harry it's you that should be carrying this, not me.", said Neville as he shrugged his shoulders at his friend. Harry was about to speak in refusal to this when Draco did it for him.
"Neville, I know I wasn't the best person to you when we were growing up. However, when I saw you pull out the sword and strike down Voldemort's snake, it gave me hope. I would be proud to stand next to the both of you, whether it's you or Harry that carries it."
"Bloody hell Draco, when did you become so soft?" Ron laughed and smacked him on the back. Draco seemed to stagger from the smack and rub the back of his neck with a smile.
Harry spoke up, "Okay you lot, the girls agreed to meet us at Hogsmeade. Hermione said that they would apparate there and secure before we arrive." Each of them nodded at Harry in agreement.
He pulled out the Death stick and the Resurrection stone from his pockets. As he rolled the stone in his hand three times, he thought of his godfather, and within seconds, a ghostly white fog slowly formed out of the stone and materialized in the shape of a young Sirius Black.
"Sirius." Harry whispered as he looked at his godfather's form with teary eyes. "Sirius, it's good to see you again."
The look Sirius gave them sent a cold shiver around their bodies. "Harry, I shouldn't be here." Harry wanted to run over and hug his godfather, but he stood there defeated, "I know Sirius, but we need help with the Dementors. They have escaped from Azkaban. Do you have any idea why they couldn't find you when you broke out?"
Sirius frowned, "Escaped?", he whispered then looked at Draco with a dead look in his eyes."I went into my Animagus form."
"Animagus…" Neville said in a pained voice. "We never did learn that." Draco and Ron looked at Harry who asked his godfather then, "Sirius, is there a spell we can use?"
There was no answer forthcoming, so Harry called his godfather's name loudly, "Sirius!" Sirius was quiet at first then turned towards him saying, "Yes, of course, but Harry you must cast it on the others first and then uncast it since you possess the unbeatable wand." Harry looked towards the others, and each one nodded in agreement. "Right then, the spell please, Sirius." Harry quickly said.
"Calm your mind before casting, let nothing be in those minds when you cast it. To cast, say "Mi Ani Magnus", and to uncast it use "Homorphus". Once you do that Harry, it should be easier for the others to cast it for themselves."
His voice seemed to fade until he stood in front of Harry. Silently, his cool touch was on his shoulder and a quiet "Sorry." left his lips as he sank away into nothing. Harry closed his eyes as the tears inside wanted to break free.
"Harry." Neville's hand found his shoulder a few moments after. "Harry, come on, the girls will think we have slept in." Neville then removed his hand and Ron patted him on the shoulder as he tried to cheer him up, "Come on, mate." Neville had his left hand outstretched as Ron then followed his example by placing then his own extended hand on top of Neville's.
When Draco walked past he gave him a nod and placed his hand on top of Ron and Neville's joined ones. "Right then, we got everything." Harry murmured to everyone as Draco and Neville run their free hands on their gear before Ron's gruff voice filled the tent.
"Come on guys I'm hungry, once we deal with these guys I say we raid the Hogwarts kitchens" as he gave him a wink, Draco shuddered. Harry slowly put his hand on theirs and took in their faces.
Neville was still dirty from the Battle of Hogwarts, and his face had many scars. It was funny to Harry that Neville seemed to grow the most out of all of them. Harry wished he got to know him better during their time at Hogwarts, but at least he is a brother at arms now. As Harry nodded to Neville, the latter seemed to straighten up before closing his eyes.
Harry's eyes meet Draco's then. Somehow, he wanted to hug or punch him for some other reason, but his heart felt ripped and torn by Draco's hatred at him over the years. "Oh, Draco.", he remembered the Sorting hat's words all those years ago, You could have done well in Slytherin.
Maybe I could have helped him, maybe I could have shown him some loyalty, but it's too late for that now, Harry mused to himself.
Draco's image had definitely changed, his blonde hair is singed with burnt marks, and his face covered with soot from their escapades in the Room of Requirement. Harry's grin rose up, and he muttered "Friends?". Before him, the tension in Draco's form released as he nodded and closed his eyes.
Harry's smile meets Ron's, but Ron held up his wand hand for Harry to stop, "Not a chance mate, let's go get us some Dementors before I lost my appetite. Harry shook with laughter, "Never change, Ron. Never change."
The air around them twisted and turned as they were ripped and pulled through to Hogsmeade, and as all four of them landed with sharp crack and thud into the snowy grounds, Hermione, Luna, Ginny, Daphne had hands on their hips as they look at them with frowns on their faces. Ron spoke up first, "Bloody hell, let's not do that again. I still have nightmares from escaping the Ministry!".
Draco and Neville both agreed quickly before Hermione began to shout, "Oh for God's sake, Ronald, you weren't that hurt."
Then her eyebrows raised a few inches more, "Where the hell have you lot been?" Her anger seemed to melt the snow beneath her feet. Thankfully, Luna, while giggling at their situation, intervened, "Language, Hermione!"
Daphne spoke up next, " Yeah, we have been here for about twenty minutes now. We could have caught them if you guys had a turned up on time." she grumpily said as she crossed her arms.
Ginny seem to just stand there ignoring their plight as she looks coldly at the skies filled to the brim with Dementors.
"What are they doing?" Ginny finally murmured over Ron and Hermione's bickering. Everyone else looked up at this, and within seconds the Dementors had what seemed like a portal in the sky that was feeding off the magic inside Hogwarts.
"Looks like they are trying to escape.", Neville spoke with a shiver.
"I agree with Neville, the hoodsprinkles whispered in my ear that their time in this universe is at its end.", Luna said in her dreamy voice.
"Yeah, ah, sure Luna, I don't think we should let them torment another universe either." Ron's voice loudly echoed through the silence that permitted through them with Luna's usual unique perspective of the world.
"For God's sake Ron, they will know that we are here now!" Hermione raised a hand and smacked it over Ron's head. "Sorry! Sorry, guys!" Ron whispered apologetically.
Harry looked at the others before deciding to go ahead with their previous plan, "Right! Now, the wards of Hogwarts is still down, so we can apparate inside the castle grounds." Harry pulled out the Elder Wand, "I'll cast the spell for the animagus transformation on you guys first."
"Wait, Animagus?!" Hermione shrieked, "But we never learned that before!" She began to breathe heavily, until Ginny shook her hard, her hair going everywhere as a result which made them all laugh.
"It will be okay, Mione, Harry will cast it on us with the Elder wand, so you don't have to worry." as she released her, she moved her hair from her face as they both smiled at each other.
As Harry cast the spell on Neville, he turned into a massive black bear. Harry looked at Hermione with an amused look, "Mione, you think the wand enhances the form it creates?"
"I'm not sure, Harry. We will have to research it after." Harry nodded at this while he cast the same spell on Ron, who then transformed into an enormous wolf whose fur is coloured in the same shade as his fiery red hair. Harry hopes for his loyalty to be with his pack as wolf watched him earnestly.
Draco's Animagus form is of magnificent white lion much to Harry's surprise. He had been so sure it was going to be a basilisk.
Turning towards the girls, he started with Hermione. Her transformation was into a black panther. He was quite stunned that the only thing resembling her human form was her chocolate eyes.
Ginny transformed into a cheetah of the same shade as her fiery red hair. She immediately showed off her fast speed and amazing reflexes.
Luna transformed into a great colorful bird that Harry had no name to give because its beauty was so raw with colors.
Finally, Daphne transformed into a golden eagle that was of the same color as her strawberry blond hair.
When he cast the Homorphus charm, they all returned to their previous forms. Harry then casted the Mi Ani Magnus on himself. He quickly felt the sensation of falling and the distance from the ground seems to quickly decrease before he caught with his paws. The strange feelings of changing, climbing, and pounding stopped.
Harry didn't dare move until he could sort out where exactly he was. The sounds from the others in the vicinity and the smells from the snow and grass just below him slowly brought him back to his bearings. He is outside. Woods. Hogsmeade. Harry breathed in and out quickly, his chest heaving.
He opened his eyes and squinted. It was bright out. Had he been this close to the moon until dawn? It hadn't felt that long. That deathly quiet sounds were still singing, the owls still calling… it still seemed like night. And the night was loud. Harry looked up. He couldn't see the others. He strained his head down, to look at himself. He was massive. Turning his head, he found them standing a few feet away, looking down up at him… and a look of absolute shock on their faces.
Hermione then cast the Homorphus charm on him. Harry looked down at his paws and found the vines, twisting in the back of his mind. This time, the spell led him down, back to the snowy ground. He closed his eyes to follow it. But it danced away from the moon, out of the light to darkness.
His body weight shifted under him, and his balance tipped. Then he lurched and nearly fell over but Neville and Draco managed to catch him before this happened.
His eyes found the group still staring at him with awe in their eyes, and as the darkness of the middle of the night filled his ears he blurted out, "Bloody hell! What the hell was I?" Ginny smacked his head in response, "Language!"
"Ow Ginny, not so hard!" Harry ran a hand over his head.
"For someone being a mountain lion, you're a big pussy cat aren't you?" said Ginny as she laughingly poked her tongue at Harry who arched his brows in surprise.
"I was sure you were going to get bigger mate." Ron smacked him on his back, "I'm sure you were at least 7 feet tall, and your eyes were still green. Gave me the shivers, it did."
"Oh, you boys are such babies, come on I think we have to hurry now, the portal seems to be getting bigger" as Daphne pointed to the Dementor-filled skies.
"Okay let's go! Boys and girls," Harry started, "I believe we should split up first, apparate to the grounds…" Harry's speech was cut when the portal gave unnatural sound.
The sky then seem to explode inwards, there was no time to think as they were dragged by the pull of the magic that had gripped them. It was like the Devil's Snare all over again.
He heard shouts from the others as they closed in into the blackness. Once they were pulled through the portal, time became jumbled as they flew through the stars. It was then that the darkness took over their senses.
298 AC Westeros and Essos.
The calmness echoed throughout the known world as the blue sky opened up to blackness as the eyes of men, women, and children watched in awe and terror. When the darkness turned different shades, it seemed to dance between red, green and blue before settling on one vibrant color that filled their eyes full of white.
The ground started to shake with dread as the hole in the sky pulsated, eight trails of light shot out over the lands of Westeros and Essos.

This 'Rogue One' Ad Will Have You Bawling in Your Stormtrooper Helmet
New Star Wars Film Inspires a Tear-Jerker of a Story from Philippine Telecom Company Globe
Editor's Pick
Some of the cross-promotions for the new "Rogue One: A Star Wars Tale" have been quite heartfelt, such as one ad from Duracell and Anomaly that depicted how a band of little rebels saved a sick girl's Christmas Day. And now a new spot, from Phillippine telecom company Globe and Disney Southeast Asia, will likely have you bawling like you did when Darth Vader said farewell to his son Luke.
Created out of Publicis JimenezBasic, the ad depicts the tale of two siblings, an older brother and his little sister, who refuses to go anywhere without wearing her Stormtrooper helmet.
The spot takes us through a day in her life and we see her wearing the big white mask in the classroom, eating breakfast, brushing her teeth, riding her bike and holding dance-offs at home. Throughout, she draws stares from passersby and her brother stands by loyally.
A new day begins and she's back at school, but this time, when she enters the classroom, it's filled with fellow Stormtroopers. On seeing them, she removes her mask, and the spot's heart-tugging surprise is revealed. The spot was directed by Joel Limchoc out of Film Pabrika.
According to Brandie Tan, one of the ECDs on the campaign (now at JWT), the campaign encourages consumers to #CreateCourage and post pictures of themselves in a Stormtrooper helmet with that hashtag. Some lucky participants will also earn a trip to the U.S.
The effort also asks consumers to donate to the Philippine General Hospital Medical Foundation to help lift the spirits of the young patients in its pediatric ward, similar to the film's partnership with Duracell, which included a tie-up with Children's Miracle Network.

Early box office projections suggest that Blade Runner 2049 will pull ahead of Arrival to become director Denis Villeneuves biggest movie opening yet. In the annals of sci-fi history, there are few films as revered or influential as director Ridley Scotts original 1982 classic Blade Runner. As beloved as Blade Runner tends to be though, it can be easy to forget that the film was not a box office success and earned a mere $33 million in theaters. With a reported production budget of $28 million, that qualifies Blade Runner as a full-on box office bomb.
Still, the multiple video releases and other merchandising opportunities presented by Blade Runners eventual emergence as a genre classic have surely brought the film into the black financially by now, which one presumes was a consideration when the decision was made to finally tackle a sequel. Blade Runner 2049 arrives in theaters next month, on the back of a lot of hype and anticipation and with original star Harrison Ford back as Rick Deckard.
While it obviously remains to be seen if Blade Runner 2049 can live up to its progenitor from a creative standpoint, Variety reports that early box office projections have the sequel scoring a $40 million domestic opening weekend. That puts it within the same range as projections for fellow R-rated sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle, which hits theaters next week (at the time of writing this).
That said, the question now becomes whether or not a $40 million opening would be a disappointment for Blade Runner 2049. Unfortunately, the answer to that query isnt easy to define, as precise production budget figures for Villeneuves futuristic sequel have yet to be publicly released. However, there is some available information that can be used to surmise whether that $40 million would be coming up short financially for the film.
Late last year, Villeneuve said that the producers of Blade Runner 2049 enjoyed reminding him that the sequel was on track to become one of the most expensive R-rated films in history. One of the highest-budgeted R-rated films to date is Mad Max: Fury Road at $150 million. That film opened at $45 million, and ended up grossing $378 million worldwide due to high overseas earnings. Assuming that Blade Runner 2049s budget is at least in the $150 million range, the sequel will probably be fine money-wise, as long as it performs well internationally. If not, the world may soon have two Blade Runner movies that underwhelmed at the box office.
That being said: THR is reporting that Blade Runner 2049 cost at least $100 million to make. If the actual production budget is closer to $100M than $150M, then a $40M opening weekend would be all the better a turnout for it.

This weekend marks the end of the Winterlude festival (but sadly, not the end of winter yet). I found myself hanging around in Confederation park, where it all started a couple of weeks ago, thinking I will miss the ice sculptures.
It has been a crazy month at work and I'm exhausted and stressed out. Taking pictures relaxes me though. I'm going through them and edit for a few hours now and then and this activity is strangely soothing.
Almost as soothing as eating maple toffee with the ice slowly melting on your fingers.
You can see the full set of the pictures taken during Winterlude 2010 here.

The product of the flour mixer is purchased because it is an important work and involves an important aspect of this mixer, so it should be taken seriously and treated seriously to avoid wrong choices and waste of products and economics. loss. Moreover, it is necessary to take into account the six factors of product origin, parameters, real-time quotation and price quotation, product quality, and after-sales service of the manufacturer and product, one of which cannot be missed.
The choice of the mixer manufacturer is also an important aspect because it relates to the normal use of the product and its use. In terms of specific requirements, it is required to select professional and regular manufacturers, so as to ensure product quality and product performance, and then, the product has a good use effect.
2. The structure of the flour mixer
The flour mixer can be used in making noodles, and can solve the problem that the flour stirring device can not fully stir the flour, can not fully knead the dough, and thus affect the quality of the noodles and the lack of strength of the noodles. Its structural composition and structural characteristics are:
(1) The mixer includes two components: an ellipsoidal mixing drum and a connecting rod. The ellipsoidal mixing drum is provided with a plurality of claws, and the claws are connected with the poles, and the free ends of the poles and the connecting rods are connected. To make the connection, the side wall of the connecting rod is connected to the cylinder. In addition, a plurality of positioning brackets are connected to the inner wall of the ellipsoidal mixing drum, and the claws are located in the positioning frame.
(2) In the flour mixer, there is also a timer. The output of the timer is connected to the processor, and the signal output end of the processor is electrically connected to the signal input end of the cylinder.
(3) The positioning frame in the mixer is composed of two parts: a positioning ring and a support rod. One end of the support rod is connected with the positioning ring, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the ellipsoidal mixing drum. One end of the ellipsoidal mixing drum is a driving motor connected to rotate it, and an anti-sticking layer is arranged in the mixing drum to avoid the problem of sticking during material mixing. A discharge door is arranged on the mixing drum to facilitate the discharge of materials.

The battle at Winterfell is approaching. Jaime is confronted with the consequences of the past. A tense interaction between Sansa and Daenerys follows.
Basically 58 mins of lamp shading and minor characters dying.
Here is some leaked footage.
Euron fucks the Queen and makes Robb Stark look like an asshole in regards to treating POWs. While Aegon and Danny were wasting CGI budget for a small incest and Peeping Drogon payoff. Ned Umber could've used those dragons but fuck him.

"While Aegon and Danny were wasting CGI budget for a small incest and Peeping Drogon payoff."
So that's what happened to the Golden Company's elephants.

"minor characters dying"
Arya and Theon? Or are they going to play a major role later in the battle against the Night King?
| Sun Apr 21 13:01:43
| Sun Apr 21 13:04:55
If I had to guess, Yara/the Iron Islands are just going to disappear from the story altogether. Theon is fucked for sure though.
| Sun Apr 21 13:10:48
Sansa as the smartest person out there line is contrived, because she doesnt look the part. That would be one minor annoyance for me, I rewatched the first episode. They should have picked arya or bran, if picking a stark was the goal.
| Sun Apr 21 13:12:32
Also, the actor who plays bran looks as creepy as any grown up child actor since the Home Alone kid
| Sun Apr 21 15:04:11
Yah. Unless they have to fall back to the iron islands. I dont think we will see yara again

Minor characters that'll probably die from lack of story arc and they don't represent anything Pod, Brienne, Gendry, , Jorah, and Hound (seriously who is he with).
| Sun Apr 21 21:05:04
I dunno if gendry will die, I think keeping Robert's child alive through the series will be a worth while narrative to do. Arya may die though. Considering how much time was spent on everyone having their little moment, I think a lot of people are gonna die in the next episode.
| Sun Apr 21 21:16:45
Well, we got to see Arya Stark sideboob.
Any other episode impressions?
| Sun Apr 21 21:21:36
Gendry's gotta live to rule Storm's End as Warden of the South.
| Sun Apr 21 21:55:30
-Winterfell falls, but many named characters survive to flee south. Jaime does not make it.
-despite the number of people who want to kill Cersei, Arya does so using Jaime's face to get close
-a defense is attempted at the river, especially with the Frey's gone, but fails.
-eventually white walkers are defeated outside the red keep. Dany is left with 1 dragon.
-Jonaegon (pronounced Joh-nae-gon) and Dany split the kingdom with Dany taking the Iron Throne and Jon rebuilding Winterfell.
-Benjen saves Bran during the battle of Winterfell (wall fell, magic keeping him north no longer holding him hostage).
-Euron courts Sansa after Cersei is killed, joining his forces with the surviving humans. He made a pass at Dany, but she's still wounded from Jonaegon being related to her and soundly dismisses him.
| Sun Apr 21 22:49:12
Benjin died last season when he fought against the wights to buy Jon time to escape on horseback.
I dunno if Winterfell falls in the next episode. I wouldn't be surprised if the next episode ends in victory with the threat of the White Walkers effectively being over. This leaves 3 episodes left over for Dany to go after Cersie and to develop Jon's lackluster support of going to war and causing good people to die all because Dany wants a seat.
Could be we see 3 factions develop, Cersie and her army of mercs plus Euron, Dany and her army of unsullied and dothraki, and Jon and his army in the north plus useful info network via Bran.
| Mon Apr 22 01:05:07
"Benjin died last season when he fought against the wights to buy Jon time to escape on horseback."
What is dead may never die!
| Mon Apr 22 14:50:44
Arya is badass. I loved the scene when she was throwing daggers. I love that little girl.
We got to see her tits from the side and half of her ass when she undressed and jumped on the blacksmith boy and kinda raped him. I never thought that would happen. That scene doesn't really suit Arya's character. But what do I know.
Anyhoo... I think I can see where this is going. No one can defeat death. They are going to be overrun and killed.
Some may run south, but they can't hide. Death with follow them and there will be another battle in the south.
Game of Thrones is the kind of tale that won't have a happy a la hollywood. The army of dead will kill all.
The Night King will sit on the throne and he will take Cersei as his Queen after the dead version of Jamie or Tyrion has killed her. Cersei may know that this is her fate and therefore she let go of Jamie and chose to remain at King's Landing and wait for it. She has basically accepted that she will be an undead Queen because it will allow her to rule the seven kingdoms forever, and that is basically all she wants.
I think this is what the fortune teller saw at the end of the fortune telling session when she started laughing.
The fortune teller said Cersei will have 3 kids. So she will never give birth to the fourth child she has in her womb now. So she is definitevly going to die.
So what's up with everyone wearing black armor/clothings? Even Sansa and Jamie is dressed in all black. Cersei was wearing all black too.

Followed by The Last Targaryen?
| Mon Apr 22 17:59:23
Would be the ultimate letdown for the eight season threat we've been warning about to die off in one grand battle. I can see how they're setting the stage, with a giant contrived all-in of him diving for the killshot on Bran, but the dude is a necromancer with a dragon, he can always fly off and rebuild his forces.
| Mon Apr 22 18:07:23
On the other hand, without the dragon, I'm not really seeing what makes the 100k wight army more deadly than a 100k wilding army. There haven't been any mid-battle raisings yet, so the NK has to win to add to his numbers.
Sounds like 5k heavy cav rek the WWs
| Tue Apr 23 00:52:18
well, keep in mind they are an army of 28 days later style zombies who can use weapons... plus giants... honestly a pitched battle seems like a really good way to get quickly overwhelmed by 100k beserkers with zero fear for their personal well being. plus giants.
| Tue Apr 23 01:44:47
Yeah, if you're standing still you're getting fucked. Gotta pincer them Stannis the Mannis style
Cherub Cow
| Tue Apr 23 02:38:02
Yeah, I don't think that Winterfell outlasts this attack. To win, they needed Cersei to stop playing for the Iron Throne, but she didn't so the living armies will still be divided. Plus, typically any plan that's made will be broken; they think that they'll draw the Night King to the tree where they can kill him before he kills Bran, but something will have to go wrong with that plan. I think Bran still needs to meet the Night King (to discover the Night King's secret histories), though, so maybe that meet part will at least happen.
There were a *lot* of white walker chiefs/lieutenants. Winterfell peeps will probably start targeting them to wipe out each WW's wights, but even with that strategy, it's still a lot of white walkers to kill. D:
I mention it in the other thread ( http://www...dthread?id=movies&thread=63471 ), but it looks like Danny may try to sabotage Jon during the battle so that her claim goes unopposed... being at odds with each other wasn't a good way to begin a battle ;)
Lots of cool potential for this battle. Night King flying around burning strong points, Danny (and Jon too?) flying around doing the same, possibly more ice spears thrown, Dothraki, Unsullied, mass death, a side plan to direct the NK to Bran, favored heroes resurrected as wights, expectations crushed, and 90 minutes of carnage ;p
"a defense is attempted at the river, especially with the Frey's gone, but fails."
Riverrun may be too far out of the way. I wondered if Moat Cailin would be a better spot for a defense, but apparently its Northern side isn't defensible (it was made to defend against southern attacks, not northern attacks). Seems like the Night King would just take the King's Road directly to King's Landing; considering that this is total war, if Winterfell falls, all survivors would flee directly to King's Landing and try to defend from there. That sets up for the scenario where a fractured army tries to get into the King's Landing walls, Cersei denies them and wants them left outside, then Jaime (or a disguised Arya) has to kill Cersei and let everyone in for a final defense. This does make Arya seem safe in the Winterfell battle, but that'd be a good misdirect if all of her skills were lost instead ;)
| Tue Apr 23 04:21:37
"they think that they'll draw the Night King to the tree where they can kill him before he kills Bran, but something will have to go wrong with that plan."
I don't think Bran will get killed there. Theon will sacrifice himself to save Bran, and Theon will die in the arms of Jon Snow and then Jon somehow gets Bran to mount the dragon and they all fly away. The Night King will be wounded (by Jon) in this struggle and he will be forced to retreat, but only for short time, allowing Jon and Bran to mount the dragon and escape.
I'm also thinking that maybe Arya will get killed now that she has gotten laid.
Jamie will die and will be ressurected as an undead. He will then head to Kings Landing and strangle Cersei and then the Night King will wed her.
| Tue Apr 23 04:30:41
jaime isnt going to die. he needs to face cersie as himself. but brienne is totes dead. the next episode will suck. we will be losing a lot of a characters we have spent years knowing and watching grow.
the writer of this episode, in his interview for it, broke up a bit about how it was the last time we would see these people.
it is interesting. i don't think we have seen this sort of thing before, as audiences. we have spent a decade watching these characters develop and become who they were always meant to be, and then for them to be gone forever, it'll be hollow.
on a continuation note, i think this will be an issue for marvel moving forward. we have spent a lot of time with these characters and for them to die, it'll not be fun to see them in "happier" times.
i don't want to see brienne being a noble warrior in seasons 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 if i know she dies horribly and jaime ends up having to kill her after giving her the one thing she has been striving for the entire time.
i am genuinely curious how audiences react to this sort of story unfolding.
| Tue Apr 23 04:48:52
"the writer of this episode, in his interview for it, broke up a bit about how it was the last time we would see these people"
The show is ending. Even if a particular character won't die we won't see them anymore, unless they make a Game of Thrones 2.
We have watched Seinfeldt for many years, watching them characters grow etc. We won't see them either anymore. Everything has an end.
"i don't want to see brienne being a noble warrior in seasons 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 if i know she dies horribly"
Well, don't watch it then.
| Tue Apr 23 07:30:55
Mt, plenty of people watched the walking dead. Characters died regularly. They've continued to watch game of thrones despite the running theme that favored characters will die. This might be more dramatic with more characters dying at once, but how many people actually care about Gendry? Or Jora? Or any of the Lord of Light marauders? Or Tormund? We saw Jonaegon die for a season ending and we still watched.
Unless we see all of the leadership in the North wiped out in this attack, I think people will be fine. Expectations have been set that people will not survive.
| Tue Apr 23 07:37:55
I cared about Ned Stark and he died in season 1, but I continued to watch all the seasons after that. I even continued to watch after all the Starks got butchered at the wedding.

"on a continuation note, i think this will be an issue for marvel moving forward. we have spent a lot of time with these characters and for them to die, it'll not be fun to see them in "happier" times"
Marvel's Avengers universe has been garbage for me for a long time specifically because they are so unwilling to kill anyone. I've heard that lots of heroes died in "Infinity Wars", but how many will be brought back? Kill them. People die.
In GoT, their stories are more meaningful *because* they could die; important characters died all around them and they lived, but their tickets can be punched just the same. ("On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.") I don't want Brienne to die, but I think it's good for the story if she does. Same with Jon and Tormund. They're important people, but this is full scale war. Aside from the people hidden in the crypts, anyone could die at any point. That's good writing. That's not Marvel.
| Tue Apr 23 15:58:06
Why is the crypt so safe, btw? Everyone was talking about that the crypt is the safest place. How is it safe? I wouldn't want to be trapped in a crypt if a seven dozen of undeads comes down there.
| Tue Apr 23 16:12:02
Unless they've arbitrarily changed the layout of Winterfell, the crypt is like right inside the main door. Seems like a pretty bad idea actually, they should be in the central keep larders, put a few more doors between them and the wights.
| Tue Apr 23 16:12:14
Also no potential for dead Stark massacres
| Tue Apr 23 16:46:45
The crypt is narrow, there's only 1 way in, makes it easy to defend. Isn't the crypt where the secret passage that Bran used to escape Theon's occupation is located? It's unlikely the white walkers know where the exit leads. With reinforced doors (Halls of dead Kings are usually well guarded), the crypt is pretty safe.
Anyone can just smash through a random wall in the keep and surround those hiding within the wintefell castle.
| Tue Apr 23 17:26:54
Clearly Something is going to go down in the crypt. Everyone kept saying "Foreshadowing the crypt is very safe foreshadowing" very loudly and repeatedly.
I reckon Aria and Gendry survive. It's the echo of the Ed stark/ Robert boratheon alliance against Targaryean. They'll end up fighting against Danaerys.
History repeats etc.
Jon is dead already and resurrected on borrowed time, so can't see him surviving the war with the night king.
My guess for the series is it ends with the white walkers defeated, Danaerys dead, Cercie dead, and a regression back to the houses fighting and oppressing the poor.
| Tue Apr 23 18:04:41
"and a regression back to the houses fighting and oppressing the poor."
But the Faith Militant are still the worst, cuz fuck religion and gay-bashers /s
| Tue Apr 23 18:11:13
But seriously though, whatever else happens I hope it takes way more than one episode to defeat the Undead. This is seven seasons' worth of build-up here; the Great War needs to be drawn out as long as possible.
| Tue Apr 23 18:26:24
Yeah, this will be the worst case of blue balls in the history of blue balls, maybe ever, if we have four tertiary characters die and the NK is beaten.
| Tue Apr 23 19:06:41
The only way the WW losing at Winterfell would be acceptable is if it's a multiple-episode fight that sees Cersei inter the fray in some way.
Seems unreasonable. So either Winterfell falls, or GRRM can go fuck himself.
| Tue Apr 23 19:21:31
GRRM can already go fuck himself for his unforgivable laziness
I'd say the war with the WWs needs to go all four remaining episodes to make it "worth" it...but I don't know how you balance that with the with the Cersei and Dany-Jon conflicts.
Really, the bigger problem is with the overall pacing. The transition in the overall story from the various wars between the living to the one war between the living and the dead should have occurred way earlier than now, when we're already a good 91.8% of the way throughout the entire series. But hopefully D&D pull off something grand in the time that's left.

| Tue Apr 23 19:31:37
I really thought this last episode would have benefited from more scenes with Gay Worm and Miscegenationei.
| Tue Apr 23 21:04:34
"Why is the crypt so safe, btw? "
i bet itll be revealed that the dead cant enter the crypts cause they have similar protection spells that the three eyed raven cave had, until bran got marked by the night king and ruined that spell (which is why bran is the only stark who hasnt gone into the crypts since returning to winterfell).
the wanderer
| Wed Apr 24 11:23:57
i would say they consider the crypts safer simply as it's underground
if Arya's pregnant her baby is heir to the throne (Baratheon line)... maybe her baby will fight Cersei's baby in the Battle of the Babies
or a spin-off babies series like those kids' shows that had baby spin-offs
| Wed Apr 24 11:57:29
If arya is pregnant it is a bastard of a bastard, it is heir to nothing.
| Wed Apr 24 13:23:49
Jonaegon will do away with the denomination of bastard, Arya's offspring will be heir to Storm's End!
| Thu Apr 25 06:00:58
Forgetting that Robert's Other bastards were killed
Cherub Cow
| Thu Apr 25 23:49:14
"Why is the crypt so safe, btw?"
I only think the crypt is as safe as any last stand place, and since I'm on "Team 'Winterfell Will Fall'", that just means that those in the crypt will be last or late to die during the battle — maybe they'll have a chance when it comes time to run south.
"'and a regression back to the houses fighting and oppressing the poor.'
But the Faith Militant are still the worst, cuz fuck religion and gay-bashers /s"
I've said as much before, but the Faith Militant were a regression themselves; they would have set the kingdoms back even further than house squabbles because they would have added a "noble lie" (religion) on top of it. Their lie was one of strict obedience to their particular religion — High Sparrow's method of grabbing power for his own metaphoric "House".
I think ridding the Realm of that particular disorder (a stand-in for *not* starting thousands of years of Hubbard or Catholic Church-like dysfunction) gives some indication that even though this story may not have a happy ending as far as favorite characters go, Danny's/Varys' want to "break the wheel" and free the Realm may end with the destruction of the Iron Throne. I think that all that will be necessary is for one of the dragons to survive. Whether Jon or Danny commands it (one of them would have to live to command a dragon), the dragon will melt the throne and signal an end to monarchies. If the show is *really* clever, they'll splice in some frames of Elizabeth II's skin melting as the throne melts — if not, I'll make that edit later ;)

(i.e., make a list of whom you think will survive, and whom you think will DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! (Nicholas Cage Face/Off scene: http://youtu.be/8ce557hlgEM?t=106 ))
Most correct wins! For scoring..
• Your kill only counts if they're turned into a wight or just totes dead (killed and burned, or, if the Night King or Viserion (the wight-dragon), killed apparently for good)
• It's not a kill if Melisandre shows up **during the battle** and saves them. If she saves someone *after* the battle, then that kill still counts.
• If someone dies *while* running from the battle, it counts if the battle is still happening or if the Night Army is still killing stragglers on the battle field
• If someone dies *after* running from the battle (e.g., they've set up camp, there's been a big "battle is over" pause, or they've decided to relax for a while), then that doesn't count

Pretty sure the dragon that was about to kill Jon was Rhaegal, the dragon he was riding.

rhaegal is still alive, he just collapsed and then fled the battle after jon fell off him.

Arg, that looks right :/ ... I wrote him off, but this show tends to be more deliberate when important deaths happen, so that was a bad call. Looking at the preview now... looks like two dragons flying around.

were you watching the HD version? i had the non-HD channel on at first (as some critter outside has chewed the cable wire & the HD channel is not working) & it was awful... but was able to get the good version via HBO-GO
(though being night time all episode plus the magical darkness or whatever it was, also made things hard)
pretty good guessing, CC! ... you got the main chars who died pretty solidly, even if you expected way more death :p
| Sun Apr 28 23:37:24
the dothraki charge turning into a complete rout, after having magic swords and seeming to have an advantage was really great to watch.
| Sun Apr 28 23:38:35
i think brienne and gendry are safe bets to stay alive for the rest of the series now. jaime dying in brienne's arms (as he has said he wants to die in the arms of the woman he loves) seems pretty certain.

It has been quite an exciting few weeks in the world of Star Wars. As we steadily creep towards the release of Episode VII: The Force Awakens, the unstoppable juggernaut that is the Disney/Lucasfilm team continues to release more and more information about the new movies (namely the excitingly titled Rogue One), a whole slew of new novels & comic series that will flesh out the canon of the New Expanded Universe, and hints begin to emerge on the potential for Star Wars to appear on the small screen in a live action series. It is an exciting time, to say the least, and you will be forgiven if the sudden deluge of new and exciting information causes you to momentarily squeal like your inner fanboy or fangirl.
While we all spend our free hours (WARNING: doing this at work reduces productivity, or so my boss says) reading, discussing, and analyzing what we DO know, let us not forget the greatest joy of all- SPECULATION! And there is nothing more exciting to speculate about than the unbridled potential of a live action TV series. There are all kinds of directions a TV series could go. Bounty Hunters, new Jedi, entirely new characters- the possibilities are endless. And yet, if Rogue One's title is any indication, there is one group above all others that has a sufficiently built-in fan base to sustain a TV series: starfighter pilots. Read More

Context reflects values in hamlet
Book: Hamlet

Context reflects values Context is a clear reflection of the values of any era, especially in Shakespeare's canonical play Hamlet. The events and characters in Hamlet embodies the historical context of shifting religions and political uncertainty that lead to a society imploding. Composed in the 1600s, the murder of a king and the encroachment of foreign power would have had particular resonance for the audience as there was an innate failed invasion of Britain by Spain and an attempted assassination in the Court of Queen Elizabeth I.
Additionally, the character Hamlet in this Elizabethan era represents the uncertainty of Christian values and the renaissance need for restoring the ordained hierarchy. Hamlet was composed in a time of great political uncertainty in English history in which the Queen Elizabeth I had withstood an assassination attempt, a foiled uprising and a failed invasion by Spain. The events of Hamlet, in which a King is murdered and a country ultimately forfeited to foreign power, would have had particular resonance for an Elizabethan audience.
This disorder can be seen through the garden imagery woven through the play: "unweeded garden in two months dead". The disorder of the country is also seen through the incongruity of Gertrude and Claudius's reunion: "Funeral bak't meals are coldly furnished forth the marriage tables" The period in which Shakespeare wrote was one of explosive growth in knowledge. The Renaissance has seen a revival of Classical learning (reflected in references to Vigil in Hamlet), world exploration was challenged and revolutionising peoples' conceptions of the universe with Ptolemaic heliocentric (sun-centered) model.
Though Hamlet is an appropriation of a story told by Saxo Grammaticus, the 'Revenge Tragedy' prototype of Thomas Kyd and the Senecan Tragedy, Shakespeare transcends other tragedies by creating a protagonist that is more complex as Hamlet is a revenge hero that is reluctant to avenge. Through his inner conflict arising from his tragic flaw- procrastination, Hamlet represents the dichotomy of Christian values and the Renaissance need for order in the Elizabethan era.
This conflict is crystallised in the Prayer Scene (I,i) when Hamlet is passing through to his mother's room when he comes upon the kneeling Claudius and recognises that he has an opportunity to kill him. He decides not to since, he reasons, if he kills his uncle at prayer Claudius will go to heaven and not to hell – that would be poor revenge. However, according to A. C. Bradley, this is Hamlet's fatal flaw – procrastination as Hamlet tries to convince himself that this is his duty: "Why, this is hire and salary, not revenge", yet is moral code prevents him from avenging.
To this point, the audience is convinced that even if Hamlet was to kill Claudius at prayer, Claudius would not go to heaven like what Hamlet had thought because of Claudius's ironic couplet: "My words fly up, my thought remain below/ Words without thought never to heaven go". Hamlet's conflict is also caused by his humanitarian self, denoted through his soliloquies and paralleling the age of enlightenment. In his soliloquy, he debates the medieval doctrines that demand for a son to absolve his father's 'murder' with conflicting Christianity.
In a bitter tone, his despair is denoted through self-laceration: "lecherous, kindles villain". Yet this is again an excuse for procrastinating as his frustration at 'thought' prevails over any kind of 'resolution'. In conclusion, it is obvious that the values of any era are reflected through its context. The events and characters in Hamlet mirrors the innate instability and religious upheaval of the 1600s.
