Game of Thrones Season 8 (Bookfags unite)
The Dayne family claims it was a fallen star, they built their castle on the location (Starfall) and forged Dawn from the metal. It glows white (unlike valyrian steel which is dark and shadowy) and is wielded by the Sword of the Morning (which isn't a continuous line, only when a swordsman is deemed worthy enough by the family).

Stupid Westeros.org. I'm now wondering if dragonglass, dragonfire and valyrian steel all fail to kill the NK but only Dawn (wielded by the Sword of the Morning, housed at Starfall) is the only thing that can.

Game of Thrones Season 8 (Bookfags unite)
Dredging up old point made years ago but really becoming relevant again - looking back at Dany's dreams in the Tower of the Undying from both the book and what the producers had to re-write you can form a lot of opinions: The book: a metric fuck-ton of visions that turn out to be all accurate foretellings planted by the lazy fat fuck GRRM, a repeating writing style of his (see book 1) https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/House_of_the_Undying The Show (S2 E10): note Dany never touches the throne in the destroyed hall - she's pulled away by the calls of distress from her children My thought is D&D had to distill down GRRM's content and extract what is key to the series as presented on screen - that Dany gets told what will actually happen.

Best North American City to Spend a Week?
Napa is an overnight trip (so 2 days accounted for) and Carmel/Big Sur is another overnight trip (another 2 days). Accounting for travel days and SF itself (overnighter) it will might feel a little rushed at the book-ends.

HISD principal sets dress code - for parents
But why? I see nothing but bias and bad judgement in this decision!!!!

Best North American City to Spend a Week?
Another vote for flying into SF/Bay Area and basing a week pleasantly roaming the coast/local area. Napa & Big Sur included. That shit right there is marriage magic. From this: To this: With a lot of this: "Honey, I love you so much you're getting pooper tonight"

Game of Thrones Season 8 (NO BOOKSPOILERS) thread
While he is a Targaryen, he is definitely more Stark looks wise - it might make sense part of the story arc is that Dany is more of a 'true' dragon than Jon regardless of primogeniture.

That arc also helped solidify Joffrey's 1) unethical ruthlessness (having babies slaughtered) and 2) complete lack of understanding of how to play political games. It also showed Cersei was loosing her perceived control over him.

Yeah, well, there's still people over at the Shag too.- Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
Clemson owning UNC is one thing (actually, a given) but I have to admit a morbid curiosity of how much this guy is going to want to lay the wood on Mack.- Amazon workers are listening to what you tell Alexa
They're listening thru any smart device - do you already own a phone, tablet or smart TV? My wife and I finally said fugget and got Alexa because they already have our info - there's simply no way to avoid them unless you go full hermit.- Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."
Natural Selection.- Big 12 Shopping Title Game
Screw raiding the PAC12 for teams - if, and this is a big if, we're going to take anyone it'd need to be LSU and Arky. Fuck the SEC and I seriously want to box in Aggy by B12 blue bloods in the region. And before any pseudo-intellectual goat fuckers say we ain't getting LSU or Arky I realize it's a stretch - but it's a stretch in the right direction and not some goat fucker sloppy second like Arizona or Utah brands. Set the bar in the right direction and put Deloss on the mission with a high private jet, golf and single-malt budget.- This is what a black hole looks like
Those guys from Seattle are smart.- Japan can't find one of their new F-35 stealth fighters
I did FMS for a few years - rarely do we sell our best tech even to our allies. Normally a platform like the F35 will have dumbed down tech/armor/armaments on it in order to preserve any advantage US Forces might need later.- De'Gabriel Floyd diagnosed with stenosis, to miss the 2019 season

Only in a depressed market (though I will defer to Phil). In a growing market like Travis/Williamson counties the VA has not been a hurdle for me (3 loans in a 19 year span). Edit: as a data point - I just moved into a `stagnant` market (Palo Pinto county) and the VA was a breeze. - Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
