Morgan Leigh said she would do an on-camera tit-fuck and hand job once and only once. For the first and last time, Morgan put on her star spangled banner bikini and went to the beach to do a P.O.V. Tits & Tugs.
If Morgan sauntered over to you and offered you a hand party, would you decline? As her target drove his skin tanker through Morgan's titty tunnel, her masterful cock-milking finally makes his balls brakes go out and his load of man-juice overturns, soaking her surrounding hills. Not surprising.
A man would have to have iron balls to resist the handiwork of a babe as slim-n-stacked as the great Morgan Leigh. As we mentioned before, this was it for Morgan so keep this remastered scene in a safe place. It wasn't easy to "pull off" on the beach. Read More »

Tits In Tight Tops
In this SCOREtv special, Morgan Leigh demonstrates the fine art of tits in tight tops. How she likes to put them on. How she likes to take them off. How she likes to activate the endorphins of the male brain that are involved in boobspotting. And other forms of psychological torture that the breast man must endure throughout his life. Morgan is a great co-host as she narrates and shares her knowledge and experience of this extremely important activity. Bounce capability and nipple visibility is checked out because this is a vital factor in Morgan choosing a titty top. You'll wish Morgan had four more tops to try on after this is done. This was originally slated for the SCOREtv Holiday Edition but there wasn't a slot for it so it was prepared as a stand-alone episode. Only on SCOREtv! Thank you, Morgan Leigh, the titty-top champion of chest! Holy erect nipples, SCORE Man! What's your favorite?

Jackumentary: Morgan Leigh
SCORELAND honors Morgan Leigh, a slinky blonde British girl from Edinburgh who took to the SCORE way during Boob Cruise 2000 where she was a passenger. So inspired by the models she met, Morgan decided to become a SCORE covergirl herself and accomplished her goal and more. We look back at now-retired Morgan's activities in this special video such as her SCOREtv appearance, her only Tits & Tugs, her various videos, trying on tops with Summer Sinn, her chats and more. It would take a seven hour mini-series to include everything this popular and bubbly Scot did. "The Boob Cruise changed my life quite literally. I gave up a career in the food industry and became a model and a dancer. I did a lot of modeling in Europe both professionally and for amateur photographers before I reconnected with SCORE. I danced in a number of clubs in the UK also. Being in SCORE was a goal since 'I saw the light' on the Cruise." "People are fascinated about my boobs. They are quite a talking point with a lot of people. They have also given me loads of opportunities. The main thing is they are perfect and the way I wanted them. I love them. They're big and very round, giving me the Barbie figure I want." "Having been a spokesmodel with both Daphne Rosen and Danielle Derek at the SCORE exhibit in Las Vegas in 2007 during the Adult Video Expo, I would have loved to pose with both of them again. It would have also been fun to have done something with one of the models from the Boob Cruise, if they remembered me." "I loved playing with myself on-camera. I loved going out on-location. I loved people watching me. It gives me an extra thrill to know that I'm being watched. I think every model has to be a little bit of an exhibitionist. We're showing off our bodies for the entire world to see! That takes courage! So all I can say to the guys at home is encourage the girls, don't discourage them."

"I love playing with myself on-camera, and I love going out on location and people watching me," said Morgan Leigh, a girl who inspired major erections. "It gives me an extra thrill to know that I' m being watched. I think every model has to be a little bit of an exhibitionist. We're showing off our bodies for the entire world to see! I've got a tiny little back and very big boobs, so my bra size is, I think, a 30J. My waist is 23 and my hips are, I think, 34. I think that's right. I can never remember. I'm a tiny little person with very big boobs. Morgan had a very generous attitude about sharing her body on-camera. She was inspired by the girls on the Boob Cruise, where she was a passenger, to try modeling herself and to supersize her tits later on. "I think I like the thought that my boobs give someone so much pleasure. It's not so much power with me. I like to pleasure someone and make them feel good. I can make a man cum in two minutes, less than two minutes, just by showing my tits to him, before he even touches me, just by me playing with my boobs. It's power, but it's more that they're getting satisfaction from me. I'm very much into giving satisfaction. I think that's one of the reasons men like me so much. I'm not selfish in bed. I'm more of a giver than a taker!" This scene has been upgraded to HD quality.

Master Piece of Ass
"I tend to wear little, very short shorts and little tank tops," Morgan Leigh said about how she dresses on any given day. "I've been seen out in little bikini bottoms and a tank top or whatever. Something just little. Something that I can catch the sun in. "You know, little people with big boobs like to wear high heels for some strange reason. And I think when a girl with big boobs wears high heels, it pushes her boobs out even further. You know how high heels make a woman's legs look better? I think they make her boobs look better, too. "Guys will stare and smile and laugh with me. They won't say mean things. Women are the ones who can be not so nice about it. They seem to be jealous, or they'll just laugh. The guys are nicer to deal with when I'm out in public."

Big Tit Glory Hole
Morgan Leigh looks like a busty wet dream made into a real woman, a sex fantasy made flesh. Her impossibly huge tits point straight out, supported underneath by her demi-cup bra. Morgan's trim body is sleek and slim. Her hair, make-up and fetishy slut-goddess lingerie are pure sex-fantasy imagery. Morgan's shaved and pierced pussy puts primeval thoughts of fucking in the brains of anyone who sees it. Morgan enters the Big Tit Glory Hole booth and is fondled by disembodied hands emerging through the holes. Cock-shaped dildos emerge for Morgan to tit-screw and fuck. She backs into one and it plunges past her pink pussy lips. Her rhythmic pulsations build up a tempo that doesn't leave her completely satisfied. Morgan flicks her tongue by one of the Glory Holes. She wants more and is willing to stay in the Glory Hole to get her moody freak on.

In part two of SCORELAND's Daphne Rosen: Jackumentary, Daphne visits SCORE's Customer Service department and helps out with shipping, dropping a surprise into a package about to go out (we never did hear back from that guy). Daphne roams around the SCORE building, chats during several breaks in shooting and joins up with Angel Gee on the set of Boob Science to squish an extra's head with their big boobs. Highlights from several of Daphne's XXX scenes are shown plus never-before-seen bloopers and an unusual kind of basketball game that could be called boobball. Daphne Rosen: one of the all-time greats of big-bust porn.

Sweater Stretchers
Summer Sinn and Morgan Leigh were at the SCORE studio at the same time for different shoots. They got on famously and compared their big ole titties while they were trying on tight sweaters and tight tops. Summer tells Morgan that she's gotten horny from looking at her and from the feel of the fabric rubbing against her nipples. She asks Morgan to walk with her to the warehouse where one of the regulars, JMac, is unloading boxes of magazines for a few extra bucks. Summer hits him up and asks him if he wants to fuck her in the studio. Summer wants Morgan to stay and watch. She'll orgasm harder having Morgan in the same room while she's being fucked. And Summer wants to suck Morgan's nipples and have Morgan suck her nipples while she gets a cock to stroke and fill her cunt. Even though she's never fucked on-camera before, Morgan agrees. She's never seen another woman fuck in person before, just in pictures and videos. Morgan's fascinated by how Summer uses her mouth on JMac's cock. Summer's highly-rated at cocksucking and tit-fucking. Morgan doesn't want to be a porn mega-star like Summer but she's captivated by Summer's technique. Summer has few inhibitions and gets even more excited as Morgan stares at her face, her boobs and the cock pumping her cunt. Summer especially wants Morgan to see her huge tits get covered in cum.

Morgan Leigh Video Special
In part one of this Morgan Leigh double-feature, the Brit blonde wears a skimpy swimsuit that's made for her slim and busty body. In part two, Morgan plays the kind of bartender only found in dreams. "I loved playing with myself on-camera, and I loved going out on location and people watching me," says Morgan. "I wear little tops and tube tops, and they always fall off. It's quite funny. I mean, I'll be walking down the street and a boob will pop out, and everybody will be watching and pointing. And I always wear bikinis to the beach, and my bikinis are really not the right size for me, and they quite often fall off. That's quite a scene, too!" Welcome to Morgan Leigh's bar after Morgan's bikini bash. She's opened a new pub and you're invited to drink shots off her slim-n-stacked body. Sound good? Even though beautiful Morgan shows her huge tits within three minutes, you'll still be climbing the walls during those three minutes. Morgan's personal and up-close videos are hotter than many porn stars' hardcore scenes. Few come close to Morgan's talent for naughty talk in her Brit accent. She'd have made a great phone sex operator.

The Journey
Vipul Goyal is one of the first few comedians to go viral on Youtube in India. Armed with Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT-Bombay, he worked in retail for a while before realizing his true calling lies in comedy.
Signing off his job with 'Humorously Yours', he co-founded a promotion and management company with the same name, functioning as its CEO and collaborating with Anurabh Kumar (of TVF Fame) to create comedic content that differentiates from the done, dusted and reincarnated in Indian movies and TV today. Vipul fashions himself as an expert in 'Humor Resources', providing solutions to strike the audience's funny bone and keep their laughter running.
With regular stints at the Comedy Store (Now Canvas Laugh Club), several college festivals around India (the IITs and IIMs), and guest speaking opportunities at the Edinburgh Festival and Toastmasters International, Goyal holds a large following, with the early nickname 'Viral Goyal' defining his rise to fame.
The Genre
Goyal's sets and gags are primarily on layman topics such as Sachin Tendulkar, Indian gods, Engineering, and every topic that requires an Indian to have an opinion on it. His strongest aspect is his popularity among every kind of demographic, particularly the corporate sphere, due to his clean style of expression and acceptance among family crowds. With performances for Tata Communications, HDFC Ergo, Cognizant, Ferrero Rocher and Fractal Analytics to name a few, Goyal holds fine balance over being a comedian for all seasons. Aside from English, Vipul often does his sets in Hindi.

'Beta! Jab main yahan sheher mein aaya, toh seene mein junoon aur jeb mein 10 rupay lekar aaya tha!'…yaar yeh sabke baap hamesha 10-20 rupay lekar hi nikalte hain haan!
High land property rates...Lets use them to solve our Kashmir problem. Like next time when Pakistan asks for Kashmir, let's just sell it to them. Like 'Kashmir chahiye? Lo na sir, 15 hazaar per square feet hai. Total area is 700 crore square feet. Gulmilaakar aapkya hogaya 100 lakh crore rupay! Abhi aukad hai toh khareed lo sir aap. Aur haan sir, parking ka extra lagega sir…Please! And don't park in Ladakh, or the vehicle will get towed by China'

So Far In Play
WHEN Richard Canfield died in 1914, the nineteenthcentury code of gambling died with him. Men had shot and killed each other across gaming tables on the Missis sippi and in the gold fields of the West, but it took the twentieth century to make gamblers mobsters and to parlay the man-to-man duel into the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. In 1937 "racket" was denounced by Wilfred J. Funk as one of the ten most overworked words of the time - which it still is. Overworked or not, it has a deadly ring, though its most violent practitioner, officially branded by the Chicago Crime Commission as Public Enemy No. 1, also used it as a term of opprobrium. Scarface A1 Capone, a madman when playing dice, never gambled on the stock market. "It's a racket," he said.
America had come a long way since George Washington bought the first lottery ticket for the first Federal Lottery in 1793. Gamblers like Jimmy Hines held the power of appointing judges and public officials. Through Tom Prendergast gamblers controlled Kansas City's police department. Men like Frank Costello, Lucky Luciano, "and friends" attended the 1932 Democratic National Convention in Chicago in style. Their opponents were large men but few - honorable public servants like Herbert Hoover and Fiorello H. LaGuardia.
The operations of the underworld bore a chilling likeness to legitimate national and international procedures. At a ten-day conference in 1928, in Atlantic City, the powers of darkness held a peace parley. They agreed that they were first-class chumps to kill each other. Instead they parceled out the United States among the Mafia and other mobs and adopted a big-business approach to organized racketeering.
Even race-track touts, who originally worked largely out of their pockets, organized and turned to Capone for protection at a price. Parenthetically, in the end it was gambling that finished Capone. The United States Government had no shred of evidence to hang a rap on him for income-tax evasion - far less his more lethal crimes - till he himself flaunted ownership of the Hawthorne Smoke Shop gambling joint during a raid. A nosy cop picked up a little black book in which were recorded the receipts for 1924 and 1925. Here was proof of undeclared income and it sent him to Alcatraz.
The new-style mobsters's names were as quaint as any that sounded in Sherwood Forest - St. Louis Dutch, Bugsy Siegel, Loud Mouth Hymie, Sonny Boy Quirk, Lucky Luciano, Big Greeny Greenberg-but their forest was a concrete jungle.
Not everything changed. When the law at last caught up with Bugsy Siegel and he was awaiting trial, he spent much of his time whooping it up in Hollywood hot spots precisely the way George Devol had whooped it up in New Orleans hot spots in 1862.
The propensity to gamble was never stronger than from 1929 to the end of World War II. In Philadelphia the wives of city officials complained that take-home pay was slim after the bookmakers got their share and, on investigation, it was found that city-hall phone booths were clogged with would-be bettors. The building was accordingly divested of public phones.
Big-time gambling was brutal and pernicious, but small-time gambling went placidly ahead, taking on zanier and zanier forms. At Harvard a pool was based on how many authors the professor of comparative literature would cite in a lecture. Nine students in Lowell House were found to be operating a roulette wheel. Though the wheel was confiscated, no action was taken against the student-croupiers, in accordance with a Harvard tradition of patience and lenience.
In times of emergency American ingenuity rises to brilliant heights. The Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department barred all females from gambling houses, so one bookie piped race results into a doughnut shop next door to his headquarters and the consumption of doughnuts and coffee grew brisk while ladies waited. After Minneapolis gambling joints were shut down, a sympathetic and profit-minded cabdriver invited several crap shooters to use his hack as a dice arena and even set up a small table in it. Other cabs also obliged and all went well till warm weather led to open windows and the police caught on. Rolling bones clicked no longer in counterpoint to the meters of Minneapolis taxis thereafter. Foreign lottery tickets were mailed illegally into the U.S. -the post office seized millions, many of them counterfeit - one cache in a Bible that was said to be "hallowed but also hollowed."
The depression, far from having a sobering effect on gamblers, stimulated them. They reasoned that it was better to dispense with what little they had for a chance of hitting the jack pot than to worry along with less than enough. Chicago's mayor, Big Bill Thompson, tried to apply this principle on a large scale: he promoted a lottery to return prosperity to his town and, through a medium, invoked the spirit of Grover Cleveland to back up the plan. Unimpressed, the citizenry thwarted him. However, in the depths of the depression, when there were not enough jobs to go around, Chicago had another sort of lottery. Job seekers were assigned numbers. If a man's number was drawn he got a job.
To prop up sagging movie attendance and to hold out golden dreams to the depressed, "Bank Nights" were instituted. The real gold went to their inventor, whose royalties on the idea ran into millions a year. From dishes to dollars, the prizes made even Class C pictures seem like bargains and a stock joke was that "What's on tonight?" meant not what movies but what prizes.
In 1935 a brand-new lunacy erupted in Denver and, before it had run its course, resulted in unexpected pay rolls for U.S. post offices all across the country. Mailboxes began bulging with letters beginning "Scratch out the top name and send a dime," and the deluge of chain letters was on. The principle of a chain letter was that each recipient made a number (originally six, later ten) of copies of it and mailed them to friends, charging them to continue the process under dire threats. As the letters fanned out and multiplied, so did the number of dimes, quarters, dollars, etc., enclosed in them - if the chain were not broken, which, of course, it always was.
Before chain letters ended, the dime jumped to ten dollars and the Sweet Adeline Club and the Liquid Assets Club promised "good cheer" and urged their members to send a pint of whisky to the name at the top of the list. In a letter to end all chain letters Dr. H. E. Coakly asked for a bail of hay and got it, while W. D. Gott received a chain letter from an old sweetheart and ended by marrying her.
Chain letters died before a legal way was found to combat them, but the law was a trial to gamblers on other fronts. Massachusetts courts upheld a statute demanding that double a gambler's winnings over five dollars be paid to the state, though the law had been enacted in 1740 and never before invoked. The director of Buffalo's Public Welfare claimed Irish Sweepstakes winnings for the poor and the winners scuttled across the border to Canada to live. However, the Bureau of Internal Revenue was kinder and classed unsuccessful horse bets and losses at French casinos as deductible.
As gamblers mobilized to hold their own, they were not without signs of honor. A resplendent and lucrative benefit was held in Washington, D.C., for four of their number who had gone to jail rather than squeal. All talent was donated.
Betting on elections is as old as elections, and the 1936 campaign between Landon and Roosevelt was no exception. What was exceptional was that the Literary Digest, on the strength of its pollsters got into the act, pro-Landon, with such aviditythat many Landon supporters were emboldened to overbet on their man. What happened to them was nothing to what happened to the Literary Digest, which died. While the losers were paying off bets Sim Hudson, of Burlington, Colorado, who had won $4000, was so elated he invited everyone in town to lunch. Between eight and nine thousand showed up and one wag said, "Sim would have come out better off backing Landon."
With hard times an old question invariably recurs: why not legalize gambling and give the government a share of the take, since it cannot be stopped anyway? Florida, in bad shape financially, decided to make hay from its 12,500 slot machines in 1935. During the next two years they rolled up more than $65,000,000 and the state raked in $1,000,000 annually. Counterbalancing this was an influx of gamblers and other questionable characters, a sharp rise in crime, and a lot of hungry school children. The young were spending their lunch money on one-armed bandits. Two years was enough. The legislature outlawed gambling in 1937. The merchants were in a bad spot since machines in shops had lured customers who now turned to bolita, an illegal numbers game. The police failed to make a dent in the bolita racket.
Horrified at the findings of a Gallop poll of 1938, which showed that 29 per cent of the adult American populace had gambled the previous year, Dr. Robert W. Searle, of the Greater New York Federation of Churches, spoke to members of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice against legalizing this "deeper curse than drink." Despite dedicated efforts for reform, gambling was not to be downed, even officially. Nellie E. Lefller, a woman mayor of E1 Monte, California, licensed rooms for draw poker (though it was illegal to play it at home) and other towns followed suit. The premises were designed to be eminently respectable with liquor and minors barred and a free ladies's day. Stud poker was adjudged too naughty to be legalized, but draw got under the wire as a game of skill.
For obvious reasons it has always been difficult to assemble accurate statistics on professional gamblers, but census takers in 1940 did their best. In at least one area - Burlington, New Jersey, - "numbers writing" was listed as an occupation.
Though America was not at war in 1940, certain Americans were already deeply involved through ancient ties. In December the police rounded up thirty-seven Chinese devotees of chance from as far away as Lancaster and New York who had been building up a "war kitty" for China in a Philadelphia gambling house.
With war on the horizon the average American continued to gamble with or without altruistic motives. The gambling population climbed to 54 per cent of American adults, the American Institute of Public Opinion found, the commonest categories being church lotteries (24 per cent), cards or dice for money (24 per cent), slot machines (24 per cent), punchboards (23 per cent), elections and athletic events (21 per cent), numbers (8 per cent). These percentages, lower than they would have been if the Irish Sweepstakes had not been discontinued on account of the war, in no way reflected the actuals sums involved. A more staggering statistic was that only one in seven who gambled admitted coming out ahead.
The brass of the armed forces in World War I had perforce adopted a moralistic tone. Houses of prostitution and houses of gambling were alike off limits. The M.P.s would get you if you were not an angel. A new approach was apparent immediately after the bombs fell on Pearl Harbor when congressmen offered lottery bills to help finance the war effort. Though these got nowhere, Colonel Henry B. Barry, of the Jersey City Quartermaster Depot, described 750,000 pairs of dice purchased for Americans in uniform (which disquieted some noncombatants) as a "comfort item." Many of the nearly 61,000,000 decks of cards sold in 1943 were bought at post exchanges. To circumvent sharps of all kinds in uniform, professionals gave exhibitions and lectured in various army camps and navy bases on how cheats :ould gamble and take all your money on pay day. Yank, the army weekly, used John Scarne, American magician, reputed to be able to do anything with dice or cards except make them sing "The StarSpangled Banner," in its efforts to weed crooked gambling out of the army. Of the $300,000,000 it was estimated passed from hand to hand in gambling each month, $75,000,000 was believed to be salted away by dice cheats and cardsharps who were in for the duration.
World War 11 was no different from any other war in one way. Gamblers included nearly everybody. General Dwight D. Eisenhower's popularity with the G.Ls zoomed in 1943 when one Simon Davis wrote and asked him the odds of being dealt a particular poker hand. The general paused in his main occupation long enough to write back: "Although I'm afraid my power of gauging percentages in filling poker hands is a bit overrated, I do like to figure them in my spare time. I haven't had time to go too deeply into the exact figures of your chances of drawing three kings and a pair of jacks - but I'd say they are about 1 in 1,082,900 times. Any mathematician will prove I'm completely wrong, but, anyway, don't count on doing it in a pinch." Said one admiring poker-playing soldier in the Fifth Army in Italy, "I've always thought a lot of the General, but now he's tops on my list of greats."
In 1944 General Eisenhower, filled with a buoyant optimism shared by many on his staff - British as well as American - backed with a five-pound bet his belief that our troops would reach the German border by Christmas. "Well," he later told the National Press Club in Washington, "they didn't, and I lost my 5 pounds. . . ."
Amateur gamblers in the army bet anything they had on anything they could. One sergeant bet another sergeant that Roosevelt would be re-elected, the odds four hundred foxholes to one hundred foxholes, the loser to do the digging. In the China-Burma-India Theater on the Burma Road a horse-racing game was played in the native huts the G.Ls used as clubs. The prizes were whatever the Red Cross girls had baked that day, maybe a pie, maybe doughnuts.
World War II contributed a new phrase to gambling language, "Elk River," meaning three tens in a poker hand. Elk River is exactly thirty miles from St. Paul, a geographic fact unknown to most of the soldiers in European and Pacific theaters who picked up the phrase.
American soldiers were often suckers, but not always. A tall Kentuckian, possessed of $3500, won shooting craps, stowed it in a little handbag and went off to see New York with two buddies. The next day he reported to Colonel Cassell C. Kingdon that they had switched bags on him and his money was gone. The colonel held out little hope of retrieving his money since he couldn't identify it.
"Oh yes, I can,"' said the Kentuckian. "I punched a pin through one eye of the man on each bill and there won't be another batch of money like it in the country." He got his money back.
On the home front our gallant legislatures gambled in their own fashion. State Representative Benjamin Bubar, Jr., of Maine, found himself tied for Republican nomination and pulled the "nomination card" .in a gambling settlement. Maryland's Republican J. Glenn Beal picked the daily double for a lady Democrat and won her vote forever after.
Many race tracks contributed to the war effort. Herbert Bayard Swope, as head of the New York State Racing Commission, pledged $2,000,000 to war relief organizations, and organized racing was proud when it turned over $3,000,000. The first double-header in American turf history, at Little Rockingham Park in New Hampshire, realized $80,000 for army and navy relief funds, and a Fourth-of-July program at Arlington Park added $126,000. The fund was swelled in various ways, -like the Bay Meadows forty-day meet, and extra races at a number of tracks.
Even such good works failed to appease New York's fighting mayor, LaGuardia, who tackled gamblers in his regular Sunday broadcasts, "Talk to the People," on the strength of a letter from "a little boy named George." George's trouble was that Daddy was squandering money George saw better uses for, on off-track betting. His was the first of many letters and lectures against "thieving tinhorns." Said His Honor to the rookie cop: "Keep away from punks and tinhorns and keep them away from you. Don't give a tinhorn a break. If you see him on your beat, sock him on the jaw. I'll stand back of you." His warnings against bribe-taking were equally blunt and effective since everybody remembered the $1,000,000 graft paid annually to the plain-clothes division of the Brooklyn Police Department and brought to light by Special Prosecutor John Harlan Amen. One of the most startling findings was the differentiation made by the offenders between the "clean" dollar and the "dirty" dollar. The cops did not consider it improper to take money from men who broke the anti-gambling law but bribes connected with moral turpitude were dirty.
Nevada took a sensationally different approach to the evils inherent in gambling when, in 1931, the state made gambling legal. Most adult Nevadans were less than a lifetime away from Western pioneer days when people rip-roodled around doing openly what people in older communities did on the sly. The professionals welcomed their change of status and the abolition of graft payments.
Open gambling in Nevada during the 1930s was not excessive and worked well under a legal licensing system. The wartime boom of the 1940s translated it into big business and the out-ofstate underworld attempted to seize control. This malignant growth was largely extirpated in 1945 when the state legislature took the licensing of gambling resorts away from the state sheriffs and county boards and turned it over to the State Tax Commission. It was so strong that when a crook like Bugsy Siegel tried to take over in Las Vegas it could cancel licenses and hound him and his henchmen out of operation.
Unfortunately criminals did manage to rig up respectable fronts and Governor Charles H. Russell told the state legislature emphatically in 1955 that members of Chicago, Detroit, Miami, and St. Louis underworld mobs, and of New York's Murder, Inc. had moved in on Nevada. If this was a guess, it was a good one. When Costello was wounded in New York by a gunman, he went to jail rather than tell a grand jury what a slip of paper found in his pocket and covered with cryptic figures meant. Three weeks sleuthing in Nevada proved to two of the district attorney's aides that they referred to the swank Tropicana Hotel Casino's take. The president of the Tropicana denied that Costello had any interest in the $110,000,000 hotel. However Costello's oldtime partner, ex-convict Dandy Phil Kastel, had supervised its construction and been a stockholder. When the Gaming Control Board held up the license because of his record, he withdrew, supposedly selling his shares. After the Costello arrest, investigation revealed that Dandy Phil had at least one dummy shareholder in the Tropicana, Louis J. Lederer a Chicagoan in charge of the Tropicana's gambling casino. Mr. Lederer's small, neat handwriting appeared on the slip of paper. The Gaming Board booted Mr. Lederer out of his Nevada activities.
Legalized gambling paid off in Nevada, provided almost 20 per cent of the state's income, and drew customers to the resorts. Columnist Red Smith noted with awe: "What flabbergasts the visitor, and would even daze Phineas T. Barnum, is the incredible abundance of suckers, the limitless, inexhaustible flow of raw material that pours through Nevada's gigantic cream separators twenty-four hours a day." Nevadans liked it that way and had no intention of relinquishing the cream, but were sobered by the fact that the suicide rate in their state was twice the national average, that broke out-of-staters who did not kill themselves frequently went on relief and petty crime was on the increase.
For the most part such sordid facts were invisible. The gambler lived a pampered life, as long as his money lasted ... food and drink were brought to him to the tables, a barber was on hand in the casino to keep him looking his best. In 1955, Jack Entratter, manager of the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas, received a forlorn call from a guest who was too ill to come down to gamble at the tables. "We'll send a table and a dealer to your room," Entratter replied soothingly. Room service was up to anything in Nevada.
Anybody on his feet could gamble twenty-four hours a day, though he might have to stand in line to get to a table. Slot machines were in airports, candy stores, coffee shops, drugstores, and wherever people went. Hotel bellhops directed visitors to the bar with "Ten slot machines ahead, two dice tables to the right, and one blackjack table to the left."
The never-never extravagances of Las Vegas rivaled Monte Carlo in 1957 when a mob met in Apalachin, New York, and got the order: Clear out of narcotics-it's too risky and the penalties are too severe. Concentrate on gambling. The leaders of the mob then coolly planned to take control of the state of Nevada. This breath-takingly brazen scheme fell apart when the Department of justice succeeded in sending the key men to jail under stiff sentences for refusing to talk.
The result was a standoff between the massive forces of organized crime and the latent forces of reform. Prosperity was making money plentiful. Gangsters and mobsters were in control of professional gambling, though their behavior was less flamboyant than in the wild days when illegal liquor was great big business, and everything else merely contributory. Legalizing of off-track betting was being argued with vehemence in various states. Gin rummy, as a private game, was on the wane and one no longer saw intent couples dealing across night-club tables, oblivious to their surroundings. Poker went on as usual. Churches were still debating the virtue of raising money with bingo games. National elections were three years off.
Everything was normal, with Las Vegas a gaudy and isolated experiment in legally removing excess profits from citizens' pockets - and on occasion stuffing- them. One great, overriding gamble dimmed the simpler glitter of losing and winning money at games.
The world was gambling on survival in the atomic age. The big bet was on whether survival would come up - or the end of the world. Whichever was ahead, America prepared to meet in her own wry way. A sign, scotched-taped to a one-armed bandit in the Midwest, read: "IN CASE OF AN AIR RAID, STAND NEXT TO THIS MACHINE. NO ONE HAS HIT IT YET."

Burleigh County Highpoint Trip Report
Date: May 8, 2006
Author: Bob Schwab
This has now become a windmill farm. The approach roads are in very good shape and you can drive to the first area and park right under a windmill! Highest ground on this ridge will require that you get out of your car and walk a bit to the north. One mile south of the highway, the road deteriorates somewhat and the grassy east-west lane still exists, opposite a row of windmills to the west. You will still get to go hiking out in the fields for these areas.

District 9
"These aliens arrived 20 years ago in a dead, derelict mothership, which hovers above Johannesburg. It's enormous, like the size of 10 football fields. The aliens have ended up in a Soweto-style township beneath the ship. It's clear that they're not really integrating into society. They like to scavenge things, rip up train tracks. So the authorities shift them 200 miles away, into the African belt. They've built a concentration camp." Peter Jackson
"District 9 is an upcoming science fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp [...] based on Alive in Joburg [...].
Marketing for the film involves various viral campaigns. The official website for the film, D-9.com, is supposedly run by Multi-National United, an in-film company. When you first enter, you have two possible choices, either Human or Non-Human, and the content and tone of the website differs for each.
MNUSpreadsLies.com is a fictional blog run by a Non-Human equal rights advocate, arguing that Multi-National United is oppressing the Non-Human race." Wikipedia

His artwork amazes me, continually. These are his superhero paper sack characters, done 100% by himself. On the top row, The Hulk and Thor. On the bottom, Iron Man and Captain America. He looked at a coloring book cover for inspiration.

Lisle, Illinois ~ According to recent reports, unless you are an engineer, the 2013 jobs market poses a challenge for graduates seeking work in their major. Although degrees in business, computer sciences and accounting, followed by health care, round out the top five jobs in demand, competition is high and May graduates need to take steps to get ahead of the crowd.
These steps start with having an impeccable resume that is error-free. It may seem like a basic rule of thumb but employers find a surprising amount of spelling errors on resumes – a serious enough issue for 43 percent of hiring managers to immediately eliminate a candidate from consideration, according to a survey of 500 hiring managers by recruitment firm Adecco.
Taking advantage of your university's career center is a first step. As a standard, the better college career centers should provide resume design and proofing sessions, mock interviews and employment referrals. Benedictine University's Office of Career Development does this and more.
Ulyana Smolyak, M.B.A.'08, works as an appraiser at a real estate firm after initially being recommended as an intern by the University's Office of Career Development. Smolyak said she worked closely with the University's career advisors who she credited with helping her secure her current position.
"Their guidance – including helping me prepare for interviews – paved the way for me," Smolyak said. "They (Benedictine advisors) introduced me to my current employer where I started as an intern and right before graduation I was offered a full-time position. It was a collaborative effort in making the internship possible and creating a path to success for me where the Benedictine staff recognized what I had to offer."
Career centers that are able to assist in successful job placement for its alumni build credibility with employers and students. While job placement is not guaranteed, students can find other ways to make use of their college's career services post-graduation. For the job seeker, these opportunities include resume and cover letter writing, job search advice, interview preparation and attending workshops. Career service offices can also be a vital referral agency to help build a company's workforce with qualified applicants.
Benedictine alumnus Mark Connelly, C00, Bachelor of Business Administration in Management and Organizational Behavior, works in human resources for an Illinois bank. He uses Benedictine's Career Development office to recommend possible new hires he knows have a strong liberal arts education and the preparation skills he requires.
"I work with Benedictine's Career Development when I am looking for new hires because they know the skills I am looking for," said Connelly who volunteers during alumni career events to help better prepare students to enter the job market. "Benedictine has become my first choice to seek applicants. We have several full-time employees who were recommended from Career Development."
Students and graduates looking for an advantage during their employment search should get involved with their college's career services office and attend employer seminars and job fairs not only in the hopes of landing employment but also to better understand what employers want. They must learn how to consistently represent the desired candidate image, which should be compatible with skills learned through study and hands-on experience. Career offices such as the one at Benedictine also help students better understand the skills employers are seeking as well as how to avoid mistakes when applying for jobs or during interviews.
Employers are looking for polished standouts and even a minor resume blemish or the slightest improper interview etiquette could doom any qualified degreed applicant.
Benedictine University is located in Lisle, Illinois, just 25 miles west of Chicago, and has a branch campus in Mesa, Arizona. Founded as a Catholic university in 1887, Benedictine enrolls more than 5,000 students in undergraduate and graduate programs. Forbes magazine named Benedictine among "America's Top Colleges" for the eighth consecutive year in 2018. Accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (hlcommission.org).

"How dare you call challenge to Him!" The tiny woman's inflection capitalized the pronoun. She stomped toward me, and I swear her skin sparkled, or maybe sparked.
"Hold on, little…lady." I flung my hands forward, palms out to try and calm her down. Why the hell was I backpedaling?
"He doesn't owe you anything!" She continued toward me in a rush.
I couldn't help it, after weeks of working with my music, there were certain songs stuck in my head. Seeing this impossibly small force of nature rush me, her leather-and-wood boots kicking up clods of broken lawn, made my favorite Black Sabbath song blaze bright in my mind.
"You're wearing boots," I whispered.
"What?" She snarled, fists balled by her sides, clearly irate.
I couldn't help myself. My left palm opened toward the woman, my flashlight again illuminating her small frame. I tried to stop as more lyrics flowed into my mind, but my head bobbed to the beat dum…dah-da…da-dum; dum…dah-da…da-dum. I wanted to laugh, to cry, to scream. It was all so…impossible.
My fingers flew wide and the song's title exploded from my mouth. "Fairies Wear Boots!"
The woman staggered back, and the sparkle on her skin winked out as a stray cloud passed over the moon. "You struck me."
"What?" I looked at my hands to assure myself they hadn't left my arms. "No, just a stupid song. Look." I held my palms up, flashlight dangling loosely between two fingers.
She stumbled back behind Koko, wrapped her arms around his leg, and peered at me from the position of safety.
"Enough!" Koko commanded. Though it was directed at the woman, the imperative also encompassed me. He nodded into the silence. Then his gaze settled on the ravaged lawn and swept up the front my house to the damaged roofline. "Ah." It was a simple statement of understanding. "You must have questions, Edan."
"Damned right," I retorted. The woman's face shifted from fearful back to fearsome in a flash. I had to admit that I was being rude. I pushed down my jumble of anxiety and emotions. "Let's just say that I really need to know what's going on," I amended in what I hoped was a more respectful tone. "My sister is gone, someone tried to break into my house…again, and you are in my dreams explaining stuff you can't possibly know about." Steady. "Will you please just talk to me?"
Something in all that made him smile. He puckered his lips in thought for a moment before replying. "Dream-speak is safer, but little stands before the impatience of youth. What would you have me tell?"
At that point, I no longer wondered if the old man might know what was going on. He clearly did. I ticked off my short list, eying the little woman and hoping these sounded like requests rather than demands. "Who or what took Piper? Where is she now? What happened to my house? And for a kicker, what the hell are you doing in my dreams?"
"Reasonable questions," Koko said as he knelt to inspect the torn grass.
"Bah," the woman spat. "He misuses sorcery. Turn him over to the hunters, Lord."
The woman stared daggers at me again. I surreptitiously slid the flashlight into my back pocket. Superstitious little thing, bad magic, flameless fire, geez! And what was that crack about the hunters? The old man rubbed a pinch of mud between gnarled fingers, nodding absently to himself. I figured he hadn't heard her.
"Perhaps you should apologize to Brightness," he said without looking up from his examination. "And, Brightness, perhaps you should accept. As with us all, the boy is what he is."
Things were getting stranger by the minute, but it was a simple request. If it got him talking, I was happy to comply. "Uh, Brightness? Sorry for being impolite, and…" I didn't even know what I was apologizing for doing. "…everything," I finished lamely.
No customer reviews for the moment.

5 Packing and Moving Tips for First Time Movers
Moving can be a stressful occurrence. Believe us we know; the act of finding a suitable location, getting a lease, getting school set up for the kids, finding a new job, and packing are some of the inconveniences that a first time mover will have to experience.
Sometimes moving is inevitable and can bring upon a fresh start. Instead of looking at it as a negative, try looking at it as something positive and something that was meant to happen. A fresh move can bring upon new friends, better career opportunities, and a new life.
Before a first time mover makes a move to their new location they are going to have to pack and move all of their current belongings. This task can be really stressful, the act of carrying furniture, boxing up, and organizing the belongings in the truck can be a major annoyance.
Many people opt out of moving themselves and choose a professional to move and package their belongings for them. If this isn't the case and the person likes to do it themselves, although hard to do, it is still possibly.
Luckily, through ours years of being a premier moving company in the heart of NYC, we here have acquired the knowledge necessary to give first time movers some packaging and moving tips to make their move less miserable!
5 Packaging and Moving Tips
1. Pack the items you will need as soon as you get to your new location in a clear plastic bin.
The reason for this is so that you are easily able to find what you will need to use first. If you know moving like us, there is usually a horde of brown cardboard boxes. It would be hard to tell which box is which till you look at the sharpie description. Things to include in a clear plastic bin would be a box cutter, paper towels, trash bags, silverware, cookware, power strips, toilet paper, soap, phone chargers, tools, etc.
2. Save on bubble wrap.
You can save on bubble wrap by wrapping your dishes and glasses in clothing. With this method you are killing two birds with one stone, packaging the clothes and kitchenware together.
3. Separate boxes for the appropriate room.
DO this instead of putting all the blankets or books in one designated box. When it comes to unpacking it would be quicker and more efficient to separate the boxes for the assigned room. For example, don't mix Michael's belongings with his twin brother Peter's stuff. This will just create an avoidable headache.
4. Label the SIDES of the boxes.
This is very important to remember! If you label the top of the box you will not be able to identify what the box is when it is stacked. Remembering to label the side of the box can save a lot of much needed time.
5. Moving heavy furniture and glass, it is better to get a professional to do this.
When moving heavy furniture and glass we always recommend getting a professional to
help with this. We have heard many times of someone falling down the steps with a heavy
television or sofa. With what you gain in doing the process yourself, you will lose ten-fold in medical bills. Furthermore, getting a professional is important because they will know how to properly organize the objects in the moving truck to ensure stability. This is important if you have glass or objects such as high end televisions.
We hope a prospective mover enjoyed these tips. These tips will help ensure a smoother
moving process. Once again, for bigger objects we always recommend getting a mover to help with the process. Have a safe and swift move!
Moving is not easy – we are here to help in the NYC area

One woman, six Liberal donors to be appointed to new Health Authority board
February 24, 2015
The McNeil government has failed to represent the diverse needs of Nova Scotians in the creation of the new Provincial Health Authority Board says NDP Leader Maureen MacDonald.
She made the comments after the McNeil Cabinet approved a list of nine Provincial Health Authority Board directors. This morning, just before the provincial Human Resources Committee meeting was set to vote on the new board appointees, the Health Minister tried to withdraw the list but the names were already public.
Of the nine appointees, eight are men and six were Liberal donors in 2013. Four current District Health Authorities are also excluded from the new board including Cumberland, Pictou, Guysborough Antigonish Strait, and South Shore.
"Why is there no representative from the African Nova Scotian and First Nations communities on this board? Why are there four lawyers and only one health care worker? Who is the voice for low-income families in this group? Why do so many rural communities lack representation? Given that almost 60 people applied, why is there such an obvious lack of diversity in this board's membership?" asks MacDonald.
MacDonald would like to know who else applied for these positions and if any additional attempts were made to achieve the stated mandate of gender equity and cultural diversity for all government appointments to agencies, boards and commissions.
"As the body responsible for oversight of our health care system, this quite possibly is the most important board government appoints," said MacDonald. "We need to know those appointed will first and foremost be able to consistently act in the public interest with no consideration whatsoever of political partisanship. Unfortunately the large number of appointees with Liberal Party ties raises legitimate questions about whose interests will guide decisions of this board.

|… it is all right to be alone, to want to be alone, to be alone and not lonely—even to be lonely at times
The Muse refused to smile… I brooded, wondering why I couldn't find a single thing to write about. Not even my baby brother's antics over the weekend could inspire me. It wasn't just writing. I found that I had little to say to my friends. The texts went unanswered and the phone calls were punctuated by awkward silences. There wasn't even much to say to HIM, which is definitely weird because even when we run out of things to talk about, we never run out of things to argue over. Any tweets were just links to things I had read. No witty commentary to life…nothing.
Since I wasn't the most pleasant company anyone could have, I kept to myself and read. In that short span of time I read 'The Lilac Bus' by Maeve Binchy. Reviewers will tell you that it's a romance novel but it's really a book about people, ordinary people who are much more that what meets the eye: the mean girl who doesn't think that she's mean and the woman who is not as dumb as everyone takes her to be. It's an Irish book so I had an Irish accent in my head the whole time I was reading it. Reza says only I can do that.
I also finally got round to reading 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. I have wanted to read it since I saw it in a newspaper article about classics that are must-reads before one turns 20. 'A Man Called Thursday' was also part of the list. Awesome read by the way. I am sure you are wondering, 'Why the running commentary about literature?' To be frank, there's no point to it.
|Atticus, Scout and Jem Finch from 'To Kill a Mockingbird'
All I really set out to do was build a case for loners…or people who feel the need to go for certain lengths of time without unnecessary human contact…people who once in a while need 'me-time'. This description should fit all persons, in general, but you will be surprised at the number of people who simply can't function in ones. You see, we aren't such terrible people. Sometimes we just want to be left alone. Like Boo Radley. Oh yes, I knew there was a reason why I mentioned 'To kill a Mockingbird'. It's an American classic about racism, justice, family and growing up in the South…but more importantly, it's a story about two children who spend a whole chunk of their childhood trying to get their neighbor, Boo Radley, to get out of his house before they finally accept that being a loner is not such a terrible thing after all. You catch that and a few other life-changing, life lessons from the book.
So when I sit at a corner table alone, wearing a slightly amused expression and seeming content with life, leave me be. Sometimes all I need are my thoughts, my music and my books. But of course they don't completely substitute human contact. Even I can't spend life devoid of all human contact (and that's saying a lot, being the awesome person that I am). After a dose of me-time I rejoin life. I call up one of two awesome people whom I have probably been neglecting, make plans to spend the weekend binge eating (minus the throwing up), watching movies and regaling each other with tales about the men in our lives.
Have an awesome weekend, be it lonesome or in the company of others. (I use the word 'awesome' too many times, right?)
Spend your free time the way you like, not the way you think you're supposed to. Stay home on New Year's Eve if that's what makes you happy. Skip the committee meeting. Cross the street to avoid making aimless chitchat with random acquaintances. Read. Cook. Run. Write a story. –ditto

Meet Camilla Lackberg
Report by The Mole
Camilla Lackberg's latest book to appear in the UK is "The Drowning" and it was read, reviewed and enjoyed by Maryom. "The 'real' detective is Erica. In a friendly, gossipy way reminiscent
of Miss Marple, she chats to people and teases out the secrets they
wouldn't reveal to her policeman husband, Patrik. An interesting new 'find' in Scandi-crime reading and an author I'll be reading more from."
Camilla Lackberg has actually written 12 books of which "The Drowning" is the 6th to appear in English. The seventh to appear in English will be The Lost Boy and it will appear here in 2013. But since her first book "The Ice Princess" appeared in Sweden in 2003 she has sold 10 million books into dozens of countries!
Camilla Lackberg's books come at a time when a lot of Scandinavian crime writers are enjoying success in translation into languages around the world. It does beg the question "What is so special about Scandinavian crime fiction all of a sudden?".
It's also important to remember that Lackberg's books have not been televised here in the UK, yet they are still hugely popular. Clearly they stand on their own merit as stories and have developed a fan following of Detective Patrick Hedström and writer Erica Falck, in fact some readers read as much for the relationship of Hedström and Falck as for the crimes themselves - now that clearly indicates a fan following of characters that people can truly identify with.
In this short sponsored video, Lackberg talks a little on what she believes the foreign view of Sweden is like and how she see Sweden.

State will seek bids for new Family Court building
Posted by By Rock The Capital - Admin at 24 May, at 13 : 51 PM Print
From the Philadelphia Inquirer:
Gov. Rendell said Friday that the state would take over development of a new Family Court building, a decision that apparently kills a no-bid deal approved by the state's top judge.
Rendell said he would release the $200 million for the huge courthouse at 15th and Arch Streets, but would require competitive bids, even if that means delays, to make sure the project is scrubbed of any conflicts of interest.
Rendell's announcement means the apparent end of the court system's two-year-old development deal with Donald W. Pulver, a developer from Conshohocken.

(CNN) -- A man shot and killed two women and another man Tuesday in Bonne Terre, Missouri, before killing himself with a handgun, in what local police said was a domestic dispute.
The identities of the four persons were not immediately released. Bonne Terre is about 60 miles south of St. Louis, Missouri.
Bonne Terre Police Chief Douglas Calvert said at a news conference that the man entered an apartment and shot a man in the doorway and a woman in a bedroom. A toddler, 2 or 3 years old, was found inside the house unharmed, the chief said.
The man then went to a SUV parked outside the apartment and fatally shot another woman while she was apparently protecting another toddler, Calvert said. That child also was unharmed, he said.
Responding police officers came upon the gunman running away from the apartment, authorities said.
"They advised him to drop the weapon. At that point, he took his own life," Calvert said. The suicide occurred outside, near a highway, about 300 feet from the apartment, Calvert said.
The two women and the other man were all apparently living in the same apartment, while the shooter did not reside there, Calvert said.
"There does seem to be some relationship between the victims," Calvert said. "We do believe they did know each other."
Calvert described the four adults as being in their 20s.
One child was a boy, and Calvert couldn't recall the other child's gender, he said.
Police received a call about 10 a.m. Tuesday that a subject was trying to kick down a door and a woman was screaming, authorities said.
The shooting happened at an apartment complex about a half mile from the town's high school and a middle school. All schools were on lockdown for about an hour.

Week in 'Game of Thrones': "Hold the Door" Dominates the Conversation
During "The Door," the fifth episode of Game of Thrones' sixth season, two developments occurred that left fans completely blindsided. We finally learned how Hodor became Hodor … and in the same reveal, we lost Hodor forever.
It turns out that Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) was responsible for turning his beloved bodyguard into the one-worded man we knew and loved, but how? That's a question people are still wrapping their minds around, as it involves a heavy amount of time travel and even more heartache.
But Hodor's life and death is not the only main story from the past week in Thrones. Here's how the days have played out since closing "The Door."
Closing the Door
Who better to eulogize Hodor, formerly known as Wylis, than Hodor himself? Kristian Nairn spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about his shocking exit from the show, saying "it had to happen" in order to propel the story into the next phase of the end game.
"It's a great move. It's bold and genius," he said. "It's the death of innocence. Hodor, in many ways … I wouldn't say he's the moral compass, because I think he needs more than one word to be a moral compass, but he was definitely a heart. There was a sense of warmth and humanity in him. That's now been murdered."
"Nice One, Bran"
If you're looking for someone to blame for Hodor's death, look no further than Bran. Isaac Hempstead Wright explained to THR that given the high stakes of his current situation, Bran won't have much time to mourn his fallen friend — but he'll certainly learn his lesson, after setting events into motion that not only killed Hodor, but several others as well.
"It's going to teach Bran a lot," he said. "I think in essence what this episode has done for Bran is essentially say: 'Right, have you had your fun? Do you understand now that this isn't a game? You're not a kid with these amazing powers you can mess around with. You're holding the atom bomb. If you drop it again, we're not going to be so lucky.' For Bran, he's realizing that. 'I have to ditch every emotion and every sense of free will in my body and act as I know I have to act.'"
Time to Move On
Beyond the emotional ramifications of the episode, "The Door" provided Game changing confirmation that, yes, Bran can indeed impact the timeline while he's traveling back to the past. When Bran warged into Wylis at Winterfell, it seared the "hold the door" message into his brain, turning him into Hodor. This is how Hodor became Hodor; Bran always traveled back in time to this moment, but was only experiencing it in his present for the first time.
It's a stunning development, and one that's difficult to entirely wrap your head around. Our video explanation below helps establish the rules a bit more, but Hempstead Wright described it even more succinctly: "We really took a turn for the sci-fi."
The True Nature of Evil
Among the many mind-blowing twists that occurred throughout "The Door," it should not get lost in the shuffle that the White Walkers' origin was finally revealed. It turns out that these nightmarish ice creatures were humans once upon a time, transformed by the Children of the Forest in their war against mankind. The Children's attempts to create a weapon clearly backfired, resulting in the terrifying army currently pursuing Bran and marching toward Westeros.
"I think it's a fascinating revelation, that they've been born out of so much pain," said Hempstead Wright. "Perhaps that's a neat little full circle there. This poor bloke, whoever he was, who then becomes the first White Walker, went through the most horrific and excruciating pain, to have that shard of dragonglass plunged inside him. It seems quite fitting that now they're like: 'You're going to pay for everything you've done. You're going to pay for the monster you've created.'"
An Apology of Sorts
While the world mourns Hodor, the gentle giant's legacy lives on, thanks to countless fans repurposing the expression "hold the door." That said, not everyone is entirely pleased with the rising prominence of saying "Hodor" to people standing in elevators.
Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss, for example, are very apologetic for their role in reminding everyone "how annoying people can be," as they demonstrated during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Sam Story, Different Day
Turning toward the coming episode of Thrones, a different White Walker survivor returns to the fray: Samwell Tarly (John Bradley), only seen in one previous scene this season. Soon, however, he will step back into the spotlight, as he and Gilly (Hannah Murray) reach Horn Hill, the home of House Tarly … a home Sam is not exactly eager to revisit, given his contentious relationship with his father.
"When you see Sam with his father and mother and brother especially, he starts to make sense," Bradley told THR. "The character is contextualized. Why is his psyche the way it is? Why does he behave the way he does? Ever since you first saw him, he comes from this very sincere and heartfelt maternal love, and then there's this monster. You can see why he's so damaged. His emotional life has been pulled in so many different directions. He's so incredibly confused."
The Road Ahead
Beyond Sam, the next episode of Thrones, called "Blood of my Blood," promises to pack a ton of action into the equation. The King's Landing situation appears poised to boil over, with Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster Waldau) and the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce) at odds. Will the Faith Militant finally fall apart, or is it House Lannister's time to come undone?
