Wasn't Littlefinger or one of his ilk in contact with Jorah earlier in th series. Does anybody think he is sailing to meet up with Dany.


Yea, that was weird, he setup that poison in thre market then warned her about it, changed sides I guess? I think he is sailing to marry whats her name but maybe your right, he is one character that I have no idea what his end game is.

The people who read the books said this season is very disappointing so far.


I am a non book reader and I feel it has drug on in a few spots. Bran, Rickon and Theon have made no headway it feels like and Danny is moving at a snails pace too. Hopefully the last two are both epic!

So can Walkers just smell babies in the woods or something?


They haven't explained anything about these things, at least that is how I feel and we are in the 3rd season.

Like I said earlier, if they were there to help Sam, they did a terrible job. They led the Walker right to the party and then chased them away.


I agree.

i always thought the "fire" in a song of ice and fire was referencing dragons, but it may be referencing the red god


quote:

If that's true, I wonder which god "ice" references?


There seems to be double meanings often used, like "the climb" had to do with jon snow and those guys climbing the wall but also the exchange between varys and little finger and the climb up the ladder of power and influence. There are others but that is the first one that came to mind.
quote:

Well since Bran can't stand that may not be to far from happening.


Exactly, arya is (captured) on the run, sansa is at Kings landing (which is a dangerous place to be obviously), bran is crippled, and rob is on his way to see the guy he betrayed. Not to mention Jon Snow's predicament. Yea Rickon must be there for a reason one way or the other. Can't wait to see the look on the Lannister's faces when they realize sansa isn't the key to the north like they think.

Don't be so sure.

. I have been drawing my LSP pension for 18 years and it has added up to a lot more than I paid in.


there in lies the problem.

To the OP, you have an opportunity to do a 403b or 457 plan which lowers your taxable income and I would suggest doing that in addition to the pension. Remember that if you leave the school system for any reason you will only get what you put in, assuming you are vested like I was.

re: First NBC bank IPO

Isn't this the bank whose senior management founded it after the previous First NBC (First Commerce Corporation) bank got bought by Bank One back in the 1990's and they were let go by Bank One?


Pretty much. The main guy there is Ashton Ryan, he started FNBC then got bought out, think your right it was bank one, and could not operate for a certain number of years and is now in business again under the same name. I don't know him personally but have family and close friends that are close to him and that is the story as I remember it. I might be a little off on some minor details though.
