Hammer of the gods biography updated?
*I*LOVE*JIMMY!! replied to audioservant's topic in Led Zeppelin Master ForumI have read this book many times and have read just about every other book out there. Most of what is in HOTG is in the other books also. So I am confused as to what parts are not true? Can anyone clarify for me. what is not true and what is? Thanks Kimm
I totally agree with you. Watching him play four sticks was thrilling for me, he gave me goose bumps. He had the drummers Mojo for sure. My heart aches for his family and close friends. He will be watched over and taken good care of.
Nice to meet you John, from one Zep fan to another. May the power of Page be with you!!
By kimmtorres Tuesday, November 25, 2008 Sad news: Drummer Michael Lee has died I've just learned of the unexpected passing of drummer Michael Lee, who collaborated with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant on tour and in the studio for several years. Michael drummed for Robert Plant beginning with the recording of his 1993 album Fate of Nations. He can be heard on that album's "Memory Song (Hello Hello)" and "Network News." Robert Plant asked him to go on tour as the drummer for his tour, and he gladly accepted. They spent some time opening for Lenny Kravitz on that tour. Led Zeppelin's singer was closing his sets with "Whole Lotta Love," and Michael Lee was a major part of it all. A keen sense of timing is one thing a good drummer should have. Michael's was great since Robert Plant's next career move was to reteam with Jimmy Page. Half of Led Zeppelin was playing regularly for the first time in 15 years and, Michael was along for the ride. He drummed for the Unledded sessions and promoted the No Quarter album release with Page and Plant. As Page and Plant then took their band on tour for the next year, Lee may have been the world's most-watched drummer. They trotted across the globe and packed houses while they put a new twist on Led Zeppelin's music with local orchestras and an assembly of Lebanese, Egyptian and Moroccan musicians. But when they were just a fourpiece playing Led Zeppelin songs, they were very much like Led Zeppelin. Whoever filmed this rare live rendition of "Achilles Last Stand" played in Japan in 1996 liked getting shots of Michael Lee's rat-a-tat-tat. The one thing Page and Plant hadn't done with their new group that whole time was write some new material. Finally, Michael got the chance to participate in some songwriting sessions in 1997. As a result, he and bassist Charlie Jones are credited alongside Page and Plant as co-writing every song on Walking into Clarksdale. The scaled-down fourpiece band embarked on a tour in 1998 to support this album. The two times I saw Michael Lee play live were during this tour, on July 7 and 10. Thanks to some videos, I've also been able to enjoyed several other shows with Michael Lee on drums. My favorite memory of his drumming is how he threw himself into the quick drum solo at the end of "Rock and Roll" so much that he once accidentally hit his forehead with a drum stick. Then he was joking about it before the next show to fans, and he jokingly compared the lump on his head to the ones Bugs Bunny would get in the cartoons. It was just before some 1999 tour dates that Robert Plant slipped away from Page and took Charlie Jones with him. Michael Lee evidently stayed with Jimmy Page, as Lee was there for the very next live appearance with Page, which took place in October 1999 at Net Aid. They unveiled a new instrumental at that show, "Domino," and to this date, it stands as the only original number Page has released since Walking into Clarksdale. Since Michael Lee was there for that too, it's pretty clear how important he was in the ongoing story of Led Zeppelin's former members in the 1990s. Michael Lee, also known as Michael Gary Pearson, will be missed.

*I*LOVE*JIMMY!! replied to rockbandlounge.com's topic in NewsNO WAY JOSE!!!!! The boy's are too good for this type of thing.

Paladin Danse, unit designation M7-97,[1] registration DN-407P, is the commanding officer of the Brotherhood of Steel unit known as Recon Squad Gladius, deployed to the Commonwealth in 2287. He is a possible companion in Fallout 4.
Danse's earliest memories are of growing up an orphan living in the Capital Wasteland. As a child he made a dangerous living by scavenging the D.C. ruins until he could afford to open his own junk stand in Rivet City. It was at that time he befriended a man named Cutler, and together the two scraped by as traders.[2]
When the Brotherhood of Steel began recruiting, Danse and Cutler agreed it was "the best way out of [their] nowhere lives." Under the command of Paladin Krieg they both became successful soldiers, but a year after being posted to the Prydwen Cutler disappeared on assignment. Danse spearheaded a three-week search for the missing squad which ultimately led to a super mutant hive. There it was revealed that Cutler's team had been killed, and Cutler himself had been exposed to the Forced Evolutionary Virus. Danse, saddened to discover his friend had been mutated, killed Cutler. The experience incited an intense hatred in Danse of most non-humans including super mutants, ghouls, and synths.[3]
By the year 2287, Danse had risen to become one of Arthur Maxson's most respected officers. He was assigned a reconnaissance team and dispatched to the Commonwealth to investigate the Institute, but misfortune quickly reduced their force to three survivors. When the Sole Survivor first encounters Paladin Danse, he and what's left of his squad are holed up in Cambridge Police Station, unable to proceed with their mission. Danse enlists the aid of the Survivor to help retrieve an item from the nearby ArcJet Systems complex. Afterward, he offers the Survivor the rank of Initiate in the Brotherhood of Steel, should they wish to join.
Danse becomes a full companion following Shadow of Steel provided the Survivor enlists with the Brotherhood. He is fiercely loyal to the order and travels with the Survivor to ensure their ideals are being upheld. As their relationship develops Danse confesses to being burdened by the losses of colleagues, friends, and mentors killed by the many horrors of the wasteland. Unwilling to let their sacrifices be for naught, he asserts the Institute and its synths must be eradicated for the safety of mankind. He believes synths are the embodiment of technology spiraling out of control, and their existence could bring about the end of humanity.
As the main story progresses the Sole Survivor will have an opportunity to hack into the Institute's mainframe. Should they provide the Brotherhood with a copy of this data it is confirmed through DNA analysis that Paladin Danse himself is a missing synth, designated M7-97. Danse goes AWOL and flees to Listening Post Bravo. Outraged by the apparent infiltration of his inner circle, Elder Maxson orders the Survivor to track Danse down and execute him.
Once located, a suicidal Danse is adamant he did not know he was a synth. The disgraced paladin then encourages the Survivor to carry out their orders, insisting that he "must be the example, not the exception." The Survivor must then choose to execute Danse or convince him to leave the Commonwealth. If persuaded to run Danse will leave the bunker only to find that a suspicious Elder Maxson has followed the Survivor to his hiding place. A confrontation will occur in which the Survivor will again have to decide the synth's fate. Should Danse survive the events of Blind Betrayal he will be grateful and, with Maxson's promise not to have him hunted down, stays to aid the Survivor in their mission.
When they rendezvous sometime later Danse is still coming to terms with his nature. Though grateful to the Sole Survivor for saving him, the sudden loss of his identity, memories, and career leave him grasping for answers. The Sole Survivor can attempt to comfort him and, if so desired, may express a romantic interest. Danse will recoil at first, shocked the Sole Survivor could be in love with a synth but eventually admits to feeling the same way. He asks for patience as he works through his "human emotions" and vows to remain steadfast at his partner's side.
Interactions with the player characterEdit

|This character is a temporary companion.
|This character is a permanent companion. They grant the Know Your Enemy perk.
|This character offers sex.
Requires romance
|This character starts quests.
|This character is involved in quests.
- Fire Support: The Sole Survivor assists Danse and his team to fight off a wave of feral ghoul attacks at the Cambridge Police Station.
- Call to Arms: The Sole Survivor accompanies Paladin Danse to ArcJet Systems, which is overrun with Institute synths.
- Semper Invicta: Danse directs the Sole Survivor to assist Haylen and Rhys with their tasks.
- The Lost Patrol: The Survivor is asked to find what happened to the last Brotherhood recon team.
- Shadow of Steel: The Survivor and Paladin Danse board the Prydwen.
- Liberty Reprimed: The Survivor must secure a nuclear payload. Once found, Danse stays onsite to protect the cache.
- Blind Betrayal: Elder Maxson orders the Survivor to find and execute Danse after it is revealed he is a synth.
- Airship Down: If Blind Betrayal has not been completed he will make his last stand with the Brotherhood of Steel, landing with the rest of Recon Squad Gladius and, if The Lost Patrol was completed, Paladin Brandis.
Effects of player's actionsEdit
- Maximum approval with Danse awards the Know Your Enemy perk which grants +20% more damage against ghouls, super mutants, and synths.
- Danse is a potential candidate for romance, an option that unlocks after reaching the highest level of affinity.
- It is impossible to max out the relationship with Danse before completing Blind Betrayal.
- Siding against the Brotherhood before Blind Betrayal turns him hostile, removing him as a companion.
- Siding against the Brotherhood after Blind Betrayal results in Danse no longer interacting with the Sole Survivor. However, the player character still gets the Lover's Embrace bonus by sleeping near him, which appears to be a bug. The issue effectively removes Danse as a companion but it will not remove his perk.
- To keep Danse as a full companion following the main story one must either side with the Brotherhood, or side with the Minutemen and choose not to become enemies with the Brotherhood of Steel. The Railroad and Institute endings both force the player character into conflict with the Brotherhood.
Range of interestsEdit
Other interactionsEdit
Danse has the authority to grant the Sole Survivor membership into the Brotherhood of Steel.
Fallout: The Board GameEdit
|The following is based on content from Fallout: The Board Game and has not been confirmed by canon sources.
Paladin Danse can be acquired at the shop by any player character that has Charisma. When he is the active companion and there is another player character within two spaces, the owner can exhaust him to move the target character one space in any direction. If the owner has the Idolized trait when they do this, they will lose it.
When the player character performs the camp action, he will become unexhausted. However, if the player character does not have the Idolized trait, he must be discarded.
|End of information based on content from Fallout: The Board Game.
|Other items
|On death
|T-60 power armor (before Blind Betrayal)
BOS uniform
BOS hood
X-01 power armor (after Blind Betrayal)
|Laser rifle
|Fusion core
|Synth component
- Danse utilizes an expansive vocabulary, often expressing simple thoughts in long and roundabout ways. This quirk is noted by Piper who attributes it to his being a synth.
- An entry on Knight-Captain Cade's terminal suggests Danse may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder or a similar issue.
- The specific symptoms sighted are "inability to sleep and a "dull throubing pain in head."" All tests came back negative, so it was deemed psychological in nature.
- However, these tests were made for human physiology which is in fact distinct from synths: case in point, synths do not require sleep (though it is implied that they can). There is conflicting dialogue on this as Max Loken says synths don't need to sleep, [4] while Curie discusses the need to sleep when in her synth body. [5]
- If taken to Nate/Nora's corpse in Vault 111 he will show patience for the Sole Survivor's mourning.
- Danse is inconsistent with his approval in regards to how the Survivor treats sapient ghouls. For example, he likes telling Kent Connolly not to sell himself short at the start of the Silver Shroud quest but hates it if the Survivor gives the Vault-Tec rep a place to live.
- Due to his relationship with the Brotherhood by this point, he is the only companion who will not accompany the Sole Survivor during the quest Mass Fusion.
- Danse compares the Minutemen to the Brotherhood when Owyn Lyons was elder: too charitable, disorganized, and unfocused. However, he does believe their cause is honorable and has no problem if the Institute is destroyed with the Minutemen so long as the Survivor does not optionally destroy the Brotherhood.
- Paladin Danse wears a full set of Brotherhood of Steel T-60 power armor, minus the helmet. Following Blind Betrayal he will upgrade to an X-01 power armor suit. Unlike other companions, he cannot be commanded to leave his power armor, and the parts do not appear in his inventory.
- He can be supplied with upgraded armor pieces by transferring it to his inventory and equipping it.
- Danse is the only companion whose power armor, even if equipped with a different suit than his own, will not deteriorate.
- If the Sole Survivor meets Danse after having completed The Nuclear Option in the favor of the Minutemen, he will instead gift the Sole Survivor the Righteous Authority.
Post Blind BetrayalEdit
- Sparing Danse after Blind Betrayal results in him losing his companion functionality after Airship Down.
- It is impossible to max out approval or complete a romantic relationship with Danse before completing Blind Betrayal.
- Blind Betrayal can be started and completed normally via the console on the PC to regain the possibility of being idolized by Danse. While it does not appear that one needs to dismiss him he will need to leave and may behave unexpectedly if he is not. Completing this quest will automatically start Tactical Thinking.
- He will use dialogue lines that imply he is still in the Brotherhood despite being exiled after Blind Betrayal.
- After Blind Betrayal having him accompany the Survivor as a companion turns the Brotherhood of Steel faction hostile. Dismissing Danse returns the Brotherhood to its normal disposition towards the player character, though they will continue to attack Danse.
- After learning of his true nature Danse will approve of some comments that support synths. For example, when the player character agrees with Tony Savoldi's comments on synths' rights.
- Possibly unintended, Danse still hates/dislikes saving Amelia Stockton during Human Error after Blind Betrayal.
- Dismissing Danse to the Boston Airport after the Brotherhood of Steel ending results in Danse and Liberty Prime engaging in an endless battle as neither can be killed. This generally results in the deaths of the unnamed Brotherhood soldiers guarding the tarmac who either get killed by Danse or Prime's Mark 28 nukes.
- If one brings other companions to the airport they will fight the Brotherhood alongside Danse as he is tagged with the Minutemen faction when not in the Survivor's company.
- The Sole Survivor can kill any unnamed Brotherhood soldiers whilst Danse is following (including those on the Prydwen and at the Airport) without becoming an enemy with the faction.
- If Danse is spared after Blind Betrayal, Brotherhood of Steel vertibirds may attack settlements where Danse is located.
Notable quotesEdit

- "Don't you understand? Everything I had, everything I knew is gone. In the span of a few hours, my identity was ripped from me and my world turned upside-down." (Said in the final private conversation with him, after discovering he is a synth.)
- "I started out as nothing, and I've ended up as nothing...and I don't know what the hell to do about it."

Danse appears in Fallout 4 and Fallout: The Board Game.
Behind the scenesEdit
|The following is based on Fallout 4 cut content and has not been confirmed by canon sources.
Unused dialogue suggests that Paladin Danse and the Sole Survivor were originally able to challenge Maxson's authority as elder through combat according to "the Litany." Through his defeat, it would have allowed Danse to regain his status as a paladin and grant the Sole Survivor the rank of elder within the Brotherhood.
|End of information based on Fallout 4 cut content.
- PC Playstation 4 Xbox One Sometimes when sending Danse to Boston Airport, he will spawn in the Warehouse room that is inaccessible until further down the Brotherhood of Steel story-line. If this happens, on PC one can use the moveto console command to move Danse next to the player character. He can also be brought back by building and using a bell, then using a bed, he will be right next to the bell when you wake up. He will reappear after completing the quest The Nuclear Option (Minutemen).[verified]
- PC Playstation 4 Xbox One If completing the main questline, Danse can become bugged to where the Sole Survivor can no longer initiate dialogue with him (thus unable to do his quests) despite being friendly with the BOS.[verified]
- PC Playstation 4 When stationed at Listening Post Bravo, the player character may find Danse with all X-01 power armor despite a T-60 helmet. When looking into his inventory he clearly does not have X-01 armor. This can be fixed by re-equipping the T-60 power armor that is listed equipped in his inventory.[verified]
- PC Playstation 4 If the player character has assigned Danse in Boston Airport and completed the quest Blind Betrayal, he will go back to the airport, sometimes spawning in the middle of the warehouse. Since the Brotherhood of Steel members will attack him on sight, the settlers might join the firefight as well, triggering a massive firefight. Being essential characters, the settlers will overpower most of the BoS members stationed at the airport, save for the essential NPCs like Madison Li, Ingram, Gavil, and Lucia. The only way of "fixing" this is letting Danse and settlers clean the place up and when the essential BoS NPCs are down, talk to Danse immediately and ask him to join. Now leave the airport and fast-travel to another location so one can safely re-assign him to another settlement.[verified]
- PC Playstation 4 When in a fight with a Brotherhood Knight (or any variant) with a fusion core and a Gatling laser in the inventory and the Knight is killed, Danse may take the Gatling laser and the fusion core and gain unlimited ammo. The fusion core never runs out of power. (This is likely due to him picking up both the fusion core and the Gatling laser at the same time.)[verified]
- PC Xbox One Playstation 4 When other power armor parts are equipped for Danse, they will count upon his carry weight, and lessen how much he is able to carry. Additionally, if any of those power armor parts are unequipped, Danse won't get back his old armor, but rather the power armor frame will be visible. It seems this has also in some way decreased his total carry weight drastically, to the point where he can only carry a bit over 10 pounds, even after emptying out his entire inventory. It is advised to let Danse keep his power armor on. (This is likely due to his own power armor pieces still being in his inventory, and taking up carrying capacity, albeit still being invisible, much like follower weapons.)[verified]
- One way to fix this is with console commands. Use the console command 0005de4d.showinventory to get the IDs of his power armor pieces, then use 0005de4d.equipitem "ID of armor piece" to get Danse to put his armor back on. After doing so, 0005de4d.showinventory should show that all of his power armor is now equipped.
- Put his gear in a container and command Danse then have him inspect the container as many times as there are items in a container. The key being to stand back far enough from the container when in companion command mode, otherwise the Sole Survivor can see contents of the container. Command and Trade to equip the gear.
- PC Danse may bug where one can no longer talk to him, even if the Sole Survivor hasn't completed the main storyline. If he does, one will no longer be able to finish any quest where the player character has to talk to him. The only thing that seems to solve this problem is to reload a save from before ever having any contact with him.[verified]
- PC Playstation 4 Xbox One Danse's affinity may reset after the quest Blind Betrayal.[verified]
- PC After completing the main storyline, if the player sides against the Brotherhood of Steel, Danse may become bugged allowing him to harm the player while being immune to any form of attack or damage. No known fix can be worked around on PC by using console commands to disable Danse.[verified]
- PC When one completes the game siding with the Railroad but also progressed the Brotherhood faction quests to the furthest possible point to still allow the Railroad ending, Paladin Danse may become unresponsive in the end game, only offering to trade items and refusing to otherwise talk or be recruited as a companion.[verified]
- This can be fixed with console commands. Use 5de4d.SetValue FollowerEndgameForceGreetOn 0 to prevent Danse from discussing the ending by unsetting his ForceGreet variable. Then use 5de4d.AddToFaction a1b85 1 to add him to the HasBeenCompanionFaction so he can be recruited again.
- ↑ The Sole Survivor: "What do you know about this situation?"
Quinlan: "{Confident} While I was decrypting all of the data you acquired from within the Institute, I came across a list. It appears that the Institute keeps exemplary records where their synths are concerned, including logging those that were reported missing. As I was perusing this list, I came across an image of Danse under the heading "M7-97." A quick DNA comparison with our own records told the rest of the tale."
(Quinlan's dialogue)
- ↑ Danse: "{Confident} Let me start at the beginning. I grew up alone in the Capital Wasteland. Spent most of my childhood picking through the ruins and selling scrap. When I was a bit older, and had a few caps to my name, I moved into Rivet City and opened a junk stand. While I was there, I met a guy named Cutler. We got along pretty well, watched each other's backs and kept each other out of trouble."
(Danse's dialogue)
- ↑ The Sole Survivor: "Why do you hate Super Mutants so much?"
Danse: "{Irritated} They're responsible for the death of a close friend, a Brotherhood Knight named Cutler."
(Danse's dialogue)
- ↑ The Sole Survivor: "What makes them superior?"
Max Loken: "The list of improvements is exhaustive. I can talk for an hour and still not cover all of it. Imagine what you could accomplish if you could live without fear of hunger or disease. Imagine what you could create if you could use every waking moment of your life as you saw fit, with no need of sleep? Like I said, a momentous time."
(Max Loken's dialogue)
- ↑ Curie: "All of these bodily functions. How do you keep track of them all? I am hungry, I am sleepy. The list goes on."

A couple of weeks ago I described how I was able to book two first class tickets for less than the price of one coach ticket. I thought it might have been an isolated glitch, but readers found a number of other cases where this was possible. The trick is that you need the companion certificate issued to Delta Reserve cardholders.
After I booked two of us into first class for $724.80 all-in (using my companion certificate), I wasn't done. There would be three of us traveling for the holidays and we'd like to be on the same flight. I figured that the quoted $810 price for economy had to be an error. I decided to wait and see if the price came down.
The next day, I checked again, but found that the price had gone up. It would now cost me $887 for the same flight! Unperturbed, I setup a Google Flights alert. Google will let me know when the price goes down. Two weeks later, I see that the price went up again. As I write this, Google tells me that the new price is $926. This is for a 3 hour domestic flight! Crazy.
Maybe I'm being overoptimistic, but I still think the price will come down. But, to hedge my bets, I booked myself an award ticket for the flight. Delta demanded 65,000 miles for the round-trip flight, in coach. That's a ridiculously high price for a domestic economy ticket, but I paid it. I want to travel with my family after all.
Thanks to having high level elite status with Delta, I can cancel or change awards for free until 72 hours before the flight. So, until then, I'll continue to watch for prices to go down. If prices drop far enough, I'll book the paid flight and cancel the award. Or, even better, if award prices drop, I'll re-book with the lower award price.

Fifth 'Game of Thrones' Prequel Show Being Developed By Writer Bryan Cogman [Updated]
Posted on Wednesday, September 20th, 2017 by Ben Pearson
Update: George R.R. Martin has provided a few more updates about this series on his blog, and you can read the relevant portions at the bottom of this article.
Current Game of Thrones writer and producer Bryan Cogman has a live-action movie adaptation of The Sword in the Stone in the works and a film based on Magic: The Gathering on his plate, but it looks like he's not finished with the world of ice and fire quite yet. Word has surfaced that Cogman is officially developing a fifth Game of Thrones prequel series for HBO.
Back in May, the network officially announced that they were developing four Game of Thrones spin-off shows so they can continue telling stories in that world once David Benioff and D.B. Weiss's flagship show comes to a close. (They will not be a part of these spin-offs.) Not long after, A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin took to his Live Journal to explain that every one of the shows in development is actually a prequel and none of them will include any of the main characters we know from the current series (so no Robert's Rebellion, and no Dunk & Egg). Martin also revealed that there was a fifth prequel in the works, and hinted at Cogman's involvement without outright saying his name since Cogman's development deal wasn't finalized at that point:
And there's more. We had four scripts in development when I arrived in LA last week, but by the time I left we had five. We have added a fifth writer to the original four. No, I will not reveal the name here. HBO announced the names of the first four, and will no doubt announce the fifth as well, once his deal has closed. He's a really terrific addition, however, a great guy and a fine writer, and aside from me and maybe Elio and Linda, I don't know anyone who knows and loves Westeros as well as he does.
Cogman has a fascinating history with this series. He started out working as an assistant to Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, but because he knew so much about Martin's world, he was tasked with writing the show bible. He quickly became a writer on the show (he's written ten episodes so far), and moved his way up through the ranks from writer to story editor to co-producer and eventually to a full producer. He's the embodiment of the geek dream: the knowledgable nerd made good working on a mega-popular fantasy series. In addition, he wrote a book called Inside HBO's Game of Thrones that serves as a companion piece to the current show.
It's also important to note that while Martin was listed as being involved with two of the first four Game of Thrones spin-offs, the author has said he's actually involved with all of them, meeting with the writers of each at his New Mexico home and being in contact with them to answer questions or bounce ideas around as needed. Entertainment Weekly, who broke the news about Cogman's involvement with this fifth prequel, says he "developed the project by working closely" with Martin, and it remains unclear if Martin himself will actually be receiving co-writing credit on any of these projects that get the greenlight or if he'll be involved in a less demanding capacity. (Fans eagerly awaiting the final two books in his series are likely hoping for the latter.)
Since the initial announcement about the Game of Thrones spin-offs, HBO programming chief Casey Bloys has clarified that they're developing that many series in the hopes that one of them is actually good enough to come to fruition, not necessarily because they want that many Thrones spin-offs on the air at the same time. Bloys also said that "if any of these scripts come to pass, you're not going to see anything air anytime close to the season 8 finale." Considering rumors that we won't even see Game of Thrones season 8 until sometime in 2019, these prequels are still a long way off.
You can listen to Cogman's interview with A Cast of Kings hosts David Chen and Joanna Robinson right here.
Update: Martin has taken to his Live Journal to offer a few comments, praising the decision to hire Cogman to develop one of these prequels. "If [Benioff and Weiss] have been the kings of Westeros for these past seven seasons," he wrote, "Bryan Cogman has surely been the Prince of Dragonstone."
But here's the juiciest part of his blog post:
I'd love to tell you more about the series Bryan will be working on… but we haven't done that for the other four successor shows, so we shouldn't for this one either. All in good time.
I can say that, like the other pilots, it will be a prequel rather than sequel, a successor rather than a spinoff. Bryan's series will be an adaptation, and one that will thrill most fans of the books, I think, set during a very exciting period of Westerosi history. And I'll be working with him every step of the way; we're going to be co-creating the show.
Does he mean it'll be an adaptation of sections of A World of Ice and Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and Game of Thrones, the exhaustive companion volume to A Song of Ice and Fire? Or has he changed his mind, and now the Dunk & Egg or Robert's Rebellion periods are back in play and maybe they're adapting his collection of novellas, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? We'll likely find out soon, but sound off with your thoughts below.

As our time in Seoul winds down, I find myself busier than ever! I've been meaning to blog about our trip to Busan for a couple weeks now. But, I'm thankful we're still getting to explore new places and see new things, six months in.
Busan is the second largest city in South Korea, as well as a major port city. We took the KTX high-speed train down there, about a three-hour journey, and got to see just how green and mountainous this country is.

Today marks three weeks since I waved goodbye to Lutris [as Eärendil] as she pulled out of the Snead Island Marina aboard a big 'ol truck. "Where is she?", you ask. Well that's actually a fine question. She made her way to Oklahoma, where, due to the timing of the Memorial Day holiday, I suggested that the driver, Rocky, take a couple of days to hang out with his family, rather that just be sitting outside Delta Marine waiting for them to get back to work.
Rocky took me up on the offer, but as it turned out, while he was home, he started feeling pretty bad. He had been having some blood pressure issues, so rather than risk is health [let alone his truck and our boat], he went to get checked out by his doctor down in Dallas. They changed his medication around and waited to see what effects that had, but in the end decided that having a stint put in was necessary. As of this morning he's still recovering from that process, and is hoping that he'll be in good enough shape to get moving in the next few days.
While I'm really glad that Rocky is taking care of his health, and there weren't any "incidents" caused by his condition, I can't help but feel impatient. We're having a stretch of just perfect sailing weather up here in Seattle, and coupled with the fact that we're paying for a slip with no boat in it and the number of stops and starts I've put Jeff over at Delta through, I just want the darn boat to be here already. Instead, I'm 3 pages deep into my projects list, and staring at photos of our new lady.
Patience is a virtue.

Sharon Hay-Webster lost credibility - Bunting
Rasbert Turner, Gleaner Writer
GENERAL SECRETARY of the People's National Party (PNP), Peter Bunting, said Member of Parliament for South Central St Catherine Sharon Hay-Webster had a credibility problem and had to resign.
"It became clear that there was a complete loss of credibility and trust at the leadership level and among her colleagues," Bunting told a gathering of supporters during a divisional executive meeting at Windsor Heights, Central Village, Wednesday evening.
Bunting said the fallout intensified when news of the dual-citizenship case resurfaced. The Gleaner, through whistle-blower WikiLeaks, revealed that Hay-Webster withdrew her renunciation letter, but left the impression that she had given up her citizenship.
"In recent months, she started a process to deal with the dual citizenship, and secretly went back to withdraw the application. It became clear she should resign," Bunting said.
Hay-Webster resigned as a member of the PNP and has decided to sit as an independent member in Parliament.
Bunting told the gathering that it was sad to see her go, as he knew the beleaguered MP since 1993 and she was deeply attached to the party.
Meanwhile, the PNP used the meeting to present Denise Daley, councillor for the Linstead division, as candidate to replace Hay-Webster in the next general election.
Daley promised to work tirelessly for the constituents.
"I must tell you, the Jamaica Labour Party will never win the South Central St Catherine seat. With your help, I am prepared to continue the work," Daley told the audience.
A number of PNP elected representatives and supporters turned out to give support to Daley's candidacy.
Among those who were in attendance were Arnoldo Brown, Noel Arscot, Raymond Pryce, Norman Scott and Sean Barnswell.
Some members of the PNP believe that Hay-Webster, who spent 15 years as the elected representative in the constituency, should resign as member of parliament.
Bunting said she could not be forced to vacate her seat, but noted that Hay-Webster should do what is best for the party.
Meanwhile, the scores of supporters who turned out were urged to mobilise themselves.
They were told that election fever was in the air and the PNP must be ready for any eventuality.

You could say eggplant caponata is Sicily's version of the French ratatouille. But Italians would have a bone to pick with you. However, the striking resemblance between the two dishes is hard to dismiss.
Eggplants and tomatoes are the soul of these stews. But this eggplant caponata recipe veers from its French counterpart with the use of a few key ingredients: olives, capers and almonds. This classic Sicilian dish is a great appetizer served cold or at room temperature. It is even better if prepared the day before, allowing the vegetables time to mingle and further develop their flavor.
With just a handful of ingredients, making eggplant caponata could not be easier. Slather it on traditional Italian bread, eat it as a side to macaroni and cheese with breadcrumbs, enjoy it on its own or paired with a Sicilian wine.

Note: This interior review was created when the 2007 MINI Cooper was new.
The 2007 MINI Cooper receives fair reviews for its four-seat interior, based on the small amount of cargo and rear seat space and sometimes complicated cockpit controls. But, "For such a small car the MINI makes the most of its available interior space," says Kelley Blue Book. Other reviewers agree, but still heavily criticize the MINI's cramped rear seat. However, interior positives outweigh the negatives, with reviewers raving about the high-quality cockpit materials and endless combinations of unique interior options.
New Car Test Drive says, "For a car that has the smallest exterior of any four-passenger car on the road, the MINI is surprisingly spacious inside. Even a six-foot, five-inch driver will be comfortable in the front seat, and the three manual levers, controlling height, rake, and front-rear position, allow both driver and passenger to find a comfortable sitting position."
But reviewers are still less than impressed with the car's rear interior space. The New York Times says, "And if the MINI name hasn't clued you in on the available interior space, just ask the prisoners in back, whose dignity depends on the space-sharing mercy of those up front. The front seats will accommodate bodies of basketball-dunking height, yet the car remains a virtual two-seater by adult standards." The Sacramento Bee agrees, noting, "My 6-foot-4-inch frame had no problem wedging into the driver's seat and the front passenger seat. But as for those two back seats ... puh-leeze! Two squirrels would develop claustrophobia within minutes."
Reviewers appreciate the new MINI's high-quality interior, but the redesigned cockpit controls still remain a point of contention. Changes for 2007 include a much larger central speedometer to make room for the car's radio controls and display. Many of the controls have also been relocated, and the center stack has been narrowed to provide roomier foot wells for the front seat. Edmunds praises the interior, commenting, "Overall, the hatchback's interior boasts a cleaner, more upscale look."
But others don't hide the fact that they find the controls difficult to use. Automobile Magazine comments at length, "It must be one of the least logical cabins in a current production vehicle. The central speedometer has grown. Looking at it is like watching a film from the front row: Your eyes have to focus on the area of interest, and that just isn't very helpful in a passenger car. Then there's the new center console: the heater controls work well enough, but the remaining switchgear appears to have been placed in a small bag, attached to a small incendiary device, detonated, and then glued in place where the pieces landed. There are fiddly little buttons everywhere."
Some reviewers are more lenient regarding overall functionality but still gripe about specifics, such as the new oversized speedometer, which measures a full 8 inches across and is located in the center of the dash (rather than on the driver's side). AutoWeek says, "Our only gripe is the dinner plate-size central speedometer, sized to accommodate the optional navigation screen, but so huge that it overpowers the cabin."
The 2007 MINI Cooper's well-equipped list of standard items includes push-button engine stop/start, AM/FM/CD stereo with six speakers and MP3 capability ("There's an audio source for every two feet of car," TechnoRide says), air-conditioning, six-speed manual transmission, color-adjustable interior lighting, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, and power windows and mirrors.
For those who want more out of the interior, the MINI offers seemingly endless combinations of interior options. However, TechnoRide cautions buyers to add on options sparingly. "Just don't go overboard: A fully optioned MINI costs almost twice the base price."
Buyers can upgrade the stock audio system by choosing the optional Audio Package, which comes with a 10-speaker audio upgrade, HD radio, and lifetime subscription to SIRIUS satellite radio. But note that the reviewers at CNET are impressed even with the stock sound system, commenting, "It is certainly not the best we've ever heard, but the speakers produce a strong, rich sound. The separation and range are both very good, especially for a stock system."
The 2007 MINI Cooper's Navigation System is available as an individual option and features voice control functions for hands-free instrument control, and a real-time traffic information system. TechnoRide cautions, "I'll hazard a guess and say navigation won't be a MINI Cooper strength. MINIs use the same Siemens-VDO technology as BMW, where it has been criticized by users for its stiff learning curve and has helped drag down BMW's reputation in some J.D. Power surveys. To be fair, it's pretty good once you've got directions programmed in."
The Car Connection praises the MINI's wide range of options, which allows drivers to tailor the car to match their unique tastes. "Some 60 percent of owners choose details from racing stripes to flags on the hood of the car to special side view mirrors to seat upholstery," the reviewer says. "And fortunately MINI has one of the most entertaining build-your-own-car sites on the Web."
One optional feature that reviewers widely comment on is the dual pane panoramic sunroof, which covers over 60 percent of the roof's surface. Front and rear panels tilt up in a partially open position. However, some find it impractical. "When closed, it is still covered by a thin perforated blind that lets in a lot of heat. Fine up north, I suspect, but in Florida, it turns a MINI parked in the sun into a little oven," says the Orlando Sentinel.
The MINI's cargo space totals 5.7 cubic feet under the cargo hatch -- which is low compared to similar vehicles, but understandable given the MINI's small size. For better cargo room, the 50/50-split rear seat folds down to expand cargo space to 24 cubic feet. New Car Test Drive compliments this flexible configuration, noting that it's "more than enough for luggage space for two passengers for a two-week trip."

Sometimes Pakistani Youth Need To Think: What If I Am Wrong?
The Peculiar ways of thinking, a short project, which was the main theme of a leadership program that I attended back in 2016, part of yearly humanities program. A project emphasised on how to broaden your knowledge and think peculiarly about your opinion which all comes with a question "What if I am wrong?" I cannot recall all of the program's outcomes, but the only thing stayed with me is that question which reflect on to the whole program and especially The Peculiar ways of thinking. This process of thinking always comes to my mind whenever I have debate, conversation or argument with someone about a topic. I feel that there is a strong need of a program like this for fellow Pakistanis. whenever I interact with fellow Pakistanis on any topic, they hardly ever think they are wrong. They dictate the whole argument to urge you that their side of the story or opinion is authentic which in most cases, is not. They impose the idea that what they know is the authentic dimension and must be believed. Most Pakistanis especially youth living in 2017 need lessons on thinking outside the box and knowing another perspective. The peculiar ways of thinking can help those Pakistanis to structure well informed mind.
The peculiar ways of thinking was planned in a way that you have to form an opinion on a given topic and then divide class room into two sections based on their opinions match. We researched the topic and came to a conclusion. Then each side of the class presented their opinion to the other opposite. After exchange of opinions, my professor asked a question which I will never forget, she emphasised us to think with the help of this question in mind "What if I am wrong? This embarked us on a new journey of research and sharing ideas with the other side. When that question was asked, everybody questioned their opinion and that build up a surface for more healthy discussion. Everybody listened to one another for learning purposes to either strengthen their opinion or change it. At the end of the day almost all the class came up with a changed opinion. By the end of the day everyone had internalised the purpose of the exercise which is critical thinking, extensive research and listening to others.
Most of Pakistani youth on social media are wondering around imposing only the ideas or side of the story they know. They totally disregard other rationales and don't even bother to think about it. Those "keyboard warriors" leave no means to degrade others and dominate their argument which all comes with a force to agree with them. For more healthier discussion, recently I asked the same question from one of my friend after we had an argument about a topic. He refused to take that question because it involved further evaluation. This is not just the story of only my friend but the majority of Pakistani youth. Critical thinking and analysis is a comprehensive process which takes time and research.
The Peculiar ways of thinking or critical thinking process makes you well informed and that helps in deciding what's right or wrong. For the right thing to do, thinking process evolves ideas and acknowledgment of every point of view. This is not only limited to academics and journalism but expands to every common mind. To question everything and then find answers is the way to foster learning. Especially for millennials, they should see everything with broader perspective and that will give you the room to change ourselves as well as community. Societal change in Pakistan is the essence of time, some societal norms rooted in Pakistan for centuries are confronting human rights. Those societal norms have long been damaging our community as whole. A recent poll about Social Behaviour by Gallup Pakistan reveals shocking results that "7 in 10 Pakistanis believe it is essential to adopt societal norms (both good and bad) to succeed in life." Millennials are in the same pace of adopting both good and bad of the society. Millennials vs others: No significant difference in the views of millennials. For uplifting Pakistan's civilisation millennials are the ones to act. For a society to prosper and keep up with compact world, it's very important to adopt modern values. World is more compatible than ever before and millennials in Pakistan can change the destiny of our Pakistani community. To elevate community to the height where brutal societal norms are eliminated.
A very tiny minority in Pakistan are progressing and inheriting the fact that intellect sharing is the way forward. They go through thought process to understand different spectrums of ideas.
For the change to come in our lives and societies, we must appreciate debates, arguments and conversations that's based on rationales. Academic institutions must provide an environment where "What if I am wrong?" questions are perceived as ingredients to think. The peculiar ways of thinking gave me lesson for life. I drew significant value from that and it helps me generate ideas that's based on critical thinking process. Whenever you know something and give your opinion, please ask one question from yourself "What if I am wrong?"

This morning, I went through my inbox and started unsubscribing from all the publications I've accumulated but no longer read. In the process, I considered all the different approaches and thought it might be good fodder for a discussion.
This week we set up an elaborate A/B test on subject lines. I liked "How 1.75 Billion Mobile Users See Your Website" and my client manager liked "Business Cards are No Longer the First Impression." We learned long ago not to be a focus group of two, but our testing also proves something else I've been saying for years—A/B tests do not stand alone.
As marketers, one of the biggest challenges we face is growing our marketing list at a rate higher than our attrition. On average, companies report an attrition rate of about 20 percent, which means in order to show a growth of just 10 percent per year, we need an actual growth of 30 percent. That's a lot of growth and yet many of us simply have not developed a concrete plan to achieve this goal
With Black Friday now behind me, I ran a quick count and found 131 emails sent by retailers with whom I had unsubscribed. I was more than a little surprised to have received this many emails and wondered: Are these retailers counting on me having forgotten I had unsubscribed? Is this a new trend?

Scenario #1-
Teachers announce to a class of first graders they can use the boys or girls bathrooms. Cheers erupt. The boys rush into the girls bathroom. A few girls go in the boys bathroom. Taunting ensues. Chaos. Kids pulling out their genitals. Parents are called. Parents raise hell. Parents protest school rules.
Scenario #2-
The school board, principals and teachers go over the new rules. They alert parents to the changes. The one transgender child who was transitioning into a boy at 5 still uses the boys bathroom as he was approved to do years ago. No one is discriminated against. Bathrooms are used as they normally are.
Which scenario will happen do you think? Which scenario is being fed to you on news or social media?
The FEAR that is ensuing all over. That boys will ambush girls bathrooms. The fear. The unfounded fear. It seems the only people going into others bathrooms are the ones trying to prove a point they can go into any bathroom. Why? To show some muscle? To instill fear into moms and dads? Those peeping toms have been peeping since there were windows, bathroom stalls, outhouses, and woods. Those rapists, those child molesters are next door. In your family. In your neighborhood. In your church. In your school.
Stop vilifying transgender people. Stop vilifying gays who dress masculine or feminine. We are all God's children. Made with the same hands. Made to walk this earth the same as you and me with a heart and soul. Tender hearts whose suicide rate among youth is one of the highest.
To me this is about equality. To me this is about humans not being discriminated against. An equal right to stand in dignity. So if that transgender identifies as a woman she has a right to go into the woman's bathroom where she feels comfortable. Not a man's bathroom where the males most likely will taunt her.
The fear-mongering amongst certain groups is so disheartening. It's so unfounded. So think about it. Don't let the fear of something unknown or uncomfortable create justification for hate.
