I'm an Ocean, it would seem.

I'm partial to dragonflies.

Mostly because they have the word 'dragon' in their name.

I watched a short video just today about this painting, about the development of foreshortening. Very interesting.

Another Edward VI here.

I haven't heard of any of those songs, so I just picked one at random.

(Not a pop music lover.)

From The Shadow Rising, Chapter 3:

[Rhuarc to Perrin]: "In your Prophecies of the Dragon, the fall of the Stone and the taking of Callandor proclaim that the Dragon has been Reborn. Our prophecy says only that the Stone must fall before He Who Comes With the Dawn appears to take us back to what was ours. They may be one man, but I doubt even the Wise Ones could say for sure. If Rand is the one, there are things he must do yet to prove it."

"What?" Perrin demanded.

"If he is the one, he will know, and do them. If he does not, then our search still goes on."

Don't let your classes interfere with getting an education.

With the HP week ending here at DM, I thought this article might stir some interest.

 

Albus Dumbledore kept a lot of things from Harry Potter throughout his years at Hogwarts, and even after his death. But the hardest part about these secrets is that they were often revealed strategically, or Harry had to find them out for himself in the most traumatizing way possible. Here are the worst five. Well, maybe the worst. You can decide where your mileage is on that.

Personally, I strongly disagree with the last one. And I'm not sure #3 is relevant.

My wife worked there for a while. She had to correct me multiple times.

The name of the company is not Joann's. It just JoAnn.

I'm glad I didn't sign up for this. I have no clue what's happening.

Crowds.

My wife and I are spending a week in Mexico on the beach in a couple of weeks.

Family comes first.

Rather balanced score, in my view. In fact, I'm not sure why Hufflepuff was selected over Ravenclaw since they have the same percentage. Rounding, I presume.

JB would like some tea. Let's see what's at the bottom of his cup.

 

 

looks like travel's on the cards.

Perfect.

Cadsuane told Rand about Callandor's characteristics in The Path of Daggers, Chapter 27.

Sorry, Ithi, I saw your post as B O R N, not B O M. I blame myself.

Ithi, did you just shoot yourself in the foot?

Hello, Nebulae. I just finished a re-read of Book Three myself, so I'm about where you are.

I'm always pleasantly surprised to see a love of a book handed down to the next generation. It seems so rare as kids deliberately distance themselves from what their parents enjoyed. I introduced my son to the Lord of the Rings by reading them to him when he was around ten.

Edit: Cindy beat me to it.

I think the answer is, 'very real.'

I don't know of any words that start with 'KECL'

Good job, Ithi.

Thanks for hosting, Dar'Jen.

All right, time's up. Let's see how our contestants did.

We start with Led Zep Man, who started Final Jeopardy with 2400 points. What was his response?

Unfortunately, that non-answer is going to cost you, LZM. What was your wager?

You wagered everything, leaving you with a score of 0 points. Sorry about that.

Next, we move to Cross, who had 3000 points. Let's see what you came up with for a response, Cross.

And that is the correct answer. Players will recall from Book Three, The Dragon Reborn, that Mat overheard Comar receive orders from an unknown nobleman (actually the Forsaken Gaebril in disguise) to kill Elayne, Nynaeve, and Egwene. And what was your wager, Cross?

Which brings Cross up to 3500 points. Well done.
 

Next we come to Dar'Jen Ab Owain who began the round with 5000 points. And what was your response?

Very good, Dar'Jen. Players can read about this villain in The Dragon Reborn, Chapters 46 and 49. And how much did you wager?

A big wager, bringing you to a total of 8000 points. Very well played.

Next we come to Turin, who played a strong game, coming into Final Jeopardy with 8400 points. Let's see the response you came up with.

Turin also came up with the correct response. Comar was reportedly a member of the Queen's Guard until he was caught cheating at dice, a curious fate given that it was Mat who stopped the assassin. And how much did Turin wager?

Combine the scores together, and Turin ends the game with a score of 10802, and is currently in the lead!

And finally, we come to Mrs. Cindy Gill who played perfectly. Cindy answered all questions in Jeopardy and Double Jeopardy correctly, leaving her with a total of 10,800 points. But did she come up with the correct response in Final Jeopardy?

She did, indeed. Mat tracked down and dispatched Comar in the Golden Cup Inn, after a long and fruitless search in Tear. And what was her wager?

Cindy wagered big, risking everything. So with a combined total of 21,600 points, we have a clear winner....

Mrs. Cindy Gill is this week's Jeopardy Champion!

Congratulations, Cindy, and well done to all our contestants. Thank you all for playing, and good night!
