Aww, Blake Lively's daughter, James, is seriously adorable!
The actress — who welcomed Baby No. 2 last fall! — recently revealed a sweet home video of her little girl, James, mistakenly calling a cardboard cutout of talk show host Jimmy Fallon her dad!
Jimmy (left) and James' dad, Ryan (right).
"It sort of, like, messed up my home life a little bit," Blake, 29, told Jimmy of the cutout he gave her the last time she previously visited The Tonight Show. "It caused some problems at home."

Blake then showed the adorable clip of her daughter interacting with the cardboard Jimmy. "Where's your dada?" Blake asked her curly-haired girl, to which James replied, "Jimmy," while pointing at the cutout!
"It's a little confusing," The Age of Adaline star — who actually welcomed James with husband Ryan Reynolds in December 2014 — joked. "I think I should do a paternity test, live, on air."
Back in December 2016, Blake and Ryan's girls, James and Ines, 10 months, made their public debut for the first time ever. The power couple — who tied the knot in 2012 — has successfully kept their daughters out of the spotlight for the most part, so it was a total treat for fans!

In the past, Ryan has opened up about the struggles of fatherhood he's faced. "I think you're just more desperate in everything you do because you're like, 'I've got 10 minutes to do this, and then I gotta get home for a thing, and a thing, and a thing,'" he said in a previous interview. "There's just no time anymore," he continued. "So you're hardened by it. Anxiety, I think, that's probably it."

The best just got better – The fantastic America Bomb Pop Post Pro Flavor is in stock at ME's website!
It's been awhile since we've discussed M.e., but we had a couple of cool interviews on our YouTube channel with founder Eric Tomko (here and here) at the Arnold.
Now, the brand is back in the spotlight after launching their comprehensive, and massive, post workout supplement Post Pro.
In 2018, the best post workout supplement just got better, too – improved flavors are here! Wait until you taste the updated Orange Cream and the new Rocket Pop flavors!
Looking for the new America Pop flavor? If you don't see it below, find it at Muscle-Elements.com!
Post Pro is all about replenishing what was depleted during training and providing your body with the essential nutrients it needs to recover, repair, and most importantly, GROW.
Post Pro contains a heaping helping of several key ingredients that help rebuild and repair your worn down muscles following a workout.
Intense training burns up your body's glycogen stores, and post workout is one of the prime times your body can take in a heaping helping of simple sugars it can use to replenish those depleted glycogen stores.
Post Pro has included dextrose (glucose), one of the most basic sugars that your body uses as its primary source of energy. Dextrose is roughly 30% less sweet than sucrose (table sugar) and has a high glycemic index rating, which is precisely what you want following a workout.
Dextrose, and other simple sugars, create an insulin spike which primes your body to shuttle nutrients into your weary muscles where they can get to work restoring and repairing those muscles and glycogen stores you just finished destroying.
Long story short — You want to get your muscle glycogen back? This is the fastest way to do it, and it's a real dose.
No post workout supplement would be complete without a source of protein, and Post Pro is no exception. They've included whey protein, the most popular post workout protein, in a unique combination of 13.34g 90% Whey Protein Isolate (yielding 12g protein) and 10.15g Whey Protein Concentrate 80% (yielding 8g of protein) for a total yield of 20g protein per serving.
This 20g will help flood your body with all the essential amino acids it needs to kickstart the repair, recovery, and growth processes to help you keep those gains coming after each and every workout.
Note that this is listed lower on the label, but because it's a solid 20g dose, we are putting it second to keep the flow proper.
Glutamine is a popular supplement found in nearly every single post workout formula on the market, but few include it at a hefty 5g serving. It's often included for its purported recovery and muscle building qualities. Truth be told, glutamine get gobbled up by the stomach before it get to the intestines for absorption and transport to your muscles, where it's needed. L-Alanine can help glutamine "survive" the stomach, but that amino isn't included here.
However, the good news (in this case) is that glutamine is a glucogenic amino acid, meaning that your body converts it into more blood sugar — which is a great thing post workout. But is it really needed on top of all that dextrose? Maybe, maybe not, but it's affordable so many aggressive muscle-building athletes will still take it.
Bottom line is it's good for gut health, but for recovery and muscle building, glutamine isn't going to do much.
While we'll save that discussion for its own post, we wouldn't be doing our due diligence if we didn't highlight the fact that BCAAs alone are inferior to EAAs and whey protein for stimulating muscle protein synthesis. Good news here is that we have also have whey protein (and its associated EAAs) inside of this, so this is the use case where BCAAs can actually make additional gains possible.
On top of the whole whey protein we're getting above, Post Pro adds 5g of 3:1:2 BCAA on top to ensure you're getting enough Leucine to stimulate mTOR effectively. Each serving provides ~2.5g Leucine, 1.667g Valine, and 0.833g Isoleucine.
The king of old school muscle building supplements, creatine really needs no introduction or in-depth explanation. It's been proven time and again to work, so we'll leave it at that.
What we will mention is that Muscle Elements has used two forms of creatine to give users a total of 5g creatine that's split between 4g monohydrate and 1g Creatine HCl. We're getting our daily 3-5g of creatine so this gets passing marks in our book.
Now here's what's cool – many of the big guys out there enjoy 10g of creatine, especially since it's no longer an expensive ingredient. If you take the PreCre (or PreCre XS) + PostPro stack, you'd be looking at a solid 10g of creatine, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that!
What we're starting to see here is that PostPro is the supplement for those who are looking for "gains in a hurry" or a monstrously full pump after their workout so you can continue to look big after your training session.
Now the anti-inflammatory style of recovery begins!
Tart cherry juice has been pretty well vetted for its ability to improve recovery and reduce muscle pain induced by high intensity exercise. Tart cherry powder is a high quality, powdered form of tart cherry juice that's packed with all the same antioxidant and anthocyanins which help combat inflammation, lower muscle damage and recover strength faster following your gym session.
Post Pro is a serious post workout supplement from Muscle Elements featuring dextrose, whey protein, and a full 5g of creatine.
During intense exercise, you're most likely sweating buckets. With all that sweat comes a serious loss of key electrolytes which support hydration, muscle contraction, and nerve function. Following a workout it's crucial to replenish these lost nutrients, and one effective way to do so is with coconut water.
This stuff is packed with potassium which helps restore electrolyte balance, enhance hydration, and help offset any possible cramping that can result from depleted electrolytes.
The more we dig into dieting, the more we realize how electrolyte imbalance is a serious part of this nation's hypertensive crisis. Keep your system straight with added electrolytes from sodium and potassium, and never neglect magnesium at the end of your day either.
30g of carbs, 20g of whey protein, and an extra 5g BCAA — everything you need to repair and grow muscle.
This may be confusing to those of you who haven't been around the last few years, but we'll try to explain our take on these calories. The FDA actually dictates that the free form amino acids (such as glutamine and BCAAs) should get counted as "protein" when added to another bonded protein (the whey protein, in our case here).
Muscle Elements has opted not to count that as actual protein, which makes sense, since that can be deceptive and lawsuits have been based around it. There is legitimately 20g of food-based protein here from whey.
However, we do like to point out that BCAAs are digestible calories, and so if you're an insane calorie counter, you may wish to call this 220 calories and 24g protein, which we feel is a happy medium.
Given that this product seems to be designed for those who want to make gains in a hurry after their workout, we don't think anyone cares that much, but now you know… so chow down.
Currently, Post Pro is only available in one flavor — Orange Cream Pop, though we do expect the brand to roll out another flavor or two as Post Pro gets around the market.
Will the ROCKET POP / "Blue Bomb" Flavor Going to Revolutionize Post Workouts?!
CJ got a chance to help Muscle Elements decide if they want to go to production with this new "Blue Bomb" flavor — and the answer is a resounding yes!
And now the official America Pop flavor is out, and it's as good as we hoped!
Now that it's out at ME's website, it's officially named "America Pop"… so take a look or sign up for the alerts below and we'll notify you when there's deals on it!

Most people end up chugging a protein shake immediately after training, and while that's good, chugging protein only provides a bit of what your body needs. Post Pro provides a more complete post workout supplement for the lifting professionals out there that train hard and need to recover even harder.
If you want to get from here to there faster than you otherwise would have, Post Pro makes good sense. If you want to get a nice-post workout swell on for whatever you're doing afterward (hot date, beach day, pool party, or just mirin' in the mirror), Post Pro makes perfect sense. And if you want to double the creatine, then the PreCre + PostPro stack makes crazy good sense.
This isn't some lightweight BCAA+glutamine recovery supp like you normally see. Post Pro delivers it all — protein, lots of carbs, and other agents to accelerate your recovery and replenish depleted electrolytes.

Paris' crowd is treated to a three-song pre-show solo acoustic performance, including "Burning Love". In the main show an unusually early sign request is for "Lucille".
The band is joined by Joe Ely in the encores for "Great Balls Of Fire" and "Lucille".
Welcoming Bruce and the band on stage was a colourful mosaic that spanned the entire width of the stadium, reading "Dreams are Alive Tonite". The amazing display was arranged and crowdfunded by fans.
Little Richard's "Lucille" makes its tour debut by sign request.
With Billy Chinnock. Bill Chinnock performs "The Boys On The Avenue" the same night that Bruce joined him on stage at Big Man's West. Bill Chinnock (November 12, 1947, Newark, NJ – March 7, 2007, Yarmouth, ME), also referred to as Billy Chinnock, was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. Born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, he was a prominent member of the Jersey Shore music scene during the late 1960s, leading bands that included future members of the E Street Band. Chinnock was a member of The Story Tellers, a band that also included Danny Federici.
With Clarence Clemons & The Red Bank Rockers.
With Beaver Brown. "Lucille" includes a partial rendition (and first known public performance) of a brand new Springsteen composition called "On The Prowl".
With Cats On A Smooth Surface. As was the case the previous night Springsteen gives a partial performance of his new song "On The Prowl", which is blended into a rendition of "Lucille".
With Beaver Brown. Also on the bill tonight is George Theiss, Springsteen's bandmate from The Castiles. Springsteen did not perform with Theiss. Brucebase reader Cliff, who attended the show, notes that Bruce arrived towards the end of Theiss's set and George spotted him sitting at the bar just as he finished his set. George then announced he was going to do one more for an old friend, or something to that effect, looking Bruce in the eye as he said it. Unfortunately, Cliff can't remember what song George played.
With The Diamonds. The Diamonds were a local (Jersey shore) all original rock and soul band that included Cats On A Smooth Surface's then ex-members Harry Filkin and Pete Schulle who left Cats in mid-October 1982. The Diamonds also included an original Cats member by the name of Joel Krauss who left Cats in 1980. They performed their material in select Jersey and Manhattan clubs which catered to bands that showcased their original songs. The guitarist that replaced Cats' Harry Filkin was local boy Glen Burtnik of "Beatlemania" fame who played with Cats for a while before leaving to pursue original music of his own. He's now better known as a member for the last 15 years or so of the re-formed 70's band Styx.
Bruce makes a club guest appearance with The Iron City Houserockers (the group's leader and frontman was Joe Grushecky). According to Grushecky this was the second time Springsteen had joined him onstage for a guest performance (the first time was July 17, 1982). Note: The Iron City Houserockers broke up not too long after this and Grushecky went solo with a new backing band line-up called Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers.
With The Cherubs. The Cherubs were a Jersey shore band in the late 1980s.
With Cats On A Smooth Surface. Michael S. positively confirmed that the Solomon Burke number "If You Need Me" was actually played.
Full Band except Nils Lofgren and Clarence Clemons. "Lucille" includes a snippet of "Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!". There was another band playing at McLoone's on this night, and very few people got word that Bruce was going to show up but they went to the bar which was already packed, as it was Halloween, and in some cases snuck in as there was no more legal room. Well, the band came in all dressed in black and with masks on. They hit the stage and pulled off their masks and, after throwing the other band off, played the above listed set. The guy who was the lead guitarist in the displaced band jumped off stage grabbed a camera that he luckily had with him and shot some pictures.
With Max Weinberg's group Killer Joe, plus Roy Bittan, Patti Scialfa, and The Miami Horns.
With the Hetty Schneider Band. Bruce, Shane Fontayne, Bobby King, and Tommy Sims literally 'invade' a private, upper-class dancing school ball held at the hotel where he and the band are staying. Not everybody is happy with their spontaneous 'guest appearance', though, as one person (whose daughter attended the event) reportedly threatens to sue the Bayerischer Hof afterwards. First ever Springsteen performance in Europe of "Lucille".
In June 1999, at a Doug Flutie Autism Foundation fundraising gala held at Jon Bon Jovi's estate in Middletown, guests Anthony and Pam Diasco paid $60,000 during the evening's dinner auction for right to host a very private Bon Jovi band concert at their home. The performance took place on December 4 at the Diasco's estate in Colts Neck. Although Springsteen's services were not part of June auction, the Diasco's got a bonus - Bruce (as well as Patti Scialfa and Southside Johnny) attended the December 4 party and Bruce (backed by Bon Jovi) performed the above-noted songs.
Light Of Day benefit . Bruce with Joe Grushecky & No Spring Chickens, during the the encores.
Bruce, Southside Johnny, Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul, and more come together on stage as the Upstage Jam Band for a show that took place as part of the Asbury Park Music & Film Festival. In the afternoon the documentary Just Before The Dawn, about the legendary Upstage Club, received its premiere. For this documentary Little Steven, Garry Tallent, Southside Johnny and Vini Lopez were all interviewed. For the show, Bruce mostly contributed guitar and backing vocals. He took lead vocals for "Lucille" and duet vocals with Southside on "Something You Got".
"Lucille" is a 1957 rock and roll song originally recorded by American musician Little Richard. Released on Specialty Records in February 1957. It was composed by Albert Collins (not to be confused with the blues guitarist of the same name) and Little Richard.
With Cats On A Smooth Surface. As was the case the previous night Springsteen gives a partial performance of his new song 'On The Prowl' which is blended into a rendition of 'Lucille'.
"Bring it down, boys....now, every night....I have a dream.....I get up out of bed.....and I go looking for my baby....I go looking for my girl....when the clock strikes midnight....I tear off the covers....and I put on my jacket....and I gotta go out on the prowl.....well, night after lonely night, my head don´t touch the bed, I´m on a two-lane blacktop cruising in my rocket sled, I´m on the prowl....I´m on the prowl....I´m looking for a gal, gal, gal, hey, hey, yeah, I´m on the prowl....there´s only one thing that I´m certain every mile, mile, mile, keep searching, searching, searching for a wild, wild child, I´m on the prowl....I´m on the prowl...I´m looking for a gal, gal, gal, hey, hey, I´m on the prowl.... they got a name for Dracula and Frankenstein´s son, they ain´t got no name now for this thing that I become, I´m on the prowl....I´m on the prowl....I´m looking for a gal, gal, gal, hey, hey, I´m on the prowl....I keep looking....I keep searching....I keep searching....I keep searching....only one thing that I´m certain every mile, mile, mile, I keep searching, searching, searching, searching....but every morning I ended up with the same thing.....I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight...."
Lucille, you won't do your sister's will?
Oh, Lucille, you won't do your sister's will?

Merck unit accused of bilking U.S. health plans
The U.S. Dept. of Justice has joined a whistleblower lawsuit that accuses Merck's U.S. generic-drug unit, Dey, of overcharging Medicaid and Medicare.
The government's complaint alleges that Dey reported prices that were more than five times the actual sales prices on many of the drugs it manufactures, causing the federal government to reimburse Dey's customers in excess of $500 million for these drugs.
The difference between the inflated government reimbursement rates and the actual price paid by healthcare providers for a drug is referred to as the "spread." The larger the spread on a drug, the larger the profit or return on investment for the provider. The government alleges that Dey used artificially inflated spreads to market, promote and sell the drugs to existing and potential customers.
The Dept. of Justice press release was issued on September 11, 2006.

        els.addClass("someClass");
    }
});

It adds a class (.someClass ) to divs that have the same class, turning the div red. As seen in this fiddle, it works. I'd like to add this someClass class randomly to max 2 divs with the same class.
Example (ps: The order of the div classes are generated randomly and they are not limited to just A,B,C and D. This order and class names in the fiddle are just an example):
We have A, B, C, A, C, D, A.
I want randomly 2 divs with the same class turn red so:

*

*A and (second) A is red OR

*A and (third) A is red OR

*(second) A and (third) A is red OR

*C and C is red

If this is very complicated I'll settle for the first found match too. So:

*

*A and (second) A is red

Hope someone can help, thanks!

A: A and (second) A can be selected using:
$('.a:eq(0), .a:eq(1)').addClass('someClass');

A and (third) A would be:
$('.a:eq(0), .a:eq(2)').addClass('someClass');

Similarly, you can get the other combinations as well. This is assuming the total number of combos is what you've specified in the question.

Ok, to select 2 random elements of a given class to operate on, you can do:
// total number of elements with class (.A, .B, .C etc.)
var n = $('.yourClass').length;

// get 2 indices randomly
var ids = [];
while(ids.length < 2) {
   var r = Math.floor(Math.random() * n);
   if(ids.indexOf(r) == -1) {
      ids.push(r);
   }
}

// select the 2 elements picked randomly
var sel = $('.yourClass:eq('+ids[0]+'), .yourClass:eq('+ids[1]+')');

// apply the class
sel.addClass('someClass');

Tear Gas Fired at Minneapolis Protesters Over George Floyd's in-Custody Death
A shooting was reported near the site of Monday's incident
Published May 26, 2020 • Updated on May 27, 2020 at 10:10 am
NBCUniversal, Inc.
Hundreds of people gathered in Minneapolis on Tuesday night to decry the in-custody death of George Floyd, which led to the firing of four officers.
Emotion and tension ran high as demonstrations became unruly, with windows damaged, graffiti sprayed and a police car vandalized, NBC News reports. Officers in riot gear confronted protesters and fired tear gas.

One person was shot in a non-life-threatening incident, said police spokesman John Elder. A suspect fled the scene. It wasn't clear if the violence was related to the protests.
The shooting happened inside a building near the site where Floyd was detained a day earlier.
Protesters filled the intersection where Floyd died, carrying banners that read, "I can't breathe" and "Jail killer KKKops." They later marched to a police station where officers in riot gear confronted them and deployed tear gas and fired projectiles. As rain fell, some protesters kicked canisters toward police.

HomeTV News'Supernatural' 1409 Spear Midseason Finale still lacking Sam and Dean Winchester
'Supernatural' 1409 Spear Midseason Finale still lacking Sam and Dean Winchester
All NewsFeaturedTV News
After watching the previous week's Supernatural episode at a Supernatural convention with some fellow fangirls, I missed this week's entirely due to family obligations and watched it on the CW app on my phone a few days later once everyone had gone to bed. A very different experience, to say the least! That also meant I was somewhat spoiled thanks to a few twitter forays in the interim, which always makes my viewing experience muted. It's hard to say how much more I would have liked this episode if I was 100% unspoiled, but I don't think it would have been night and day.
The THEN segment was about ten minutes long, which usually means there's going to be way too much going on in the upcoming episode. Uh oh.
But then I hear "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," one of my favorites, and there's lots of pretty Christmas décor, so that's nice….and then, in true Supernatural fashion, broken things and lots of blood and a hapless guy screaming "No please no!" One of the crazy-toothed werewolf guys (in a Santa hat) confronts him and grabs him by the throat. Cut to mistletoe above them, so werewolf guy leans in for a kiss – and snaps the guy's neck. Ah, Supernatural.
I enjoyed that irreverent beginning – nice touches by writer Robert Berens.
Even if I hadn't been spoiled, it wouldn't have been a shock to see Michael in a new vessel in the next scene – this one a beautiful woman. Michael sure has good taste in vessels! I thought Felisha Terrell did a good job of channeling Michael's low key but confident mannerisms. I was happy to see Melanie (Andrea Drepaul) return, and I was also spoiled for the return of D J Qualls as Garth, so no surprises yet for me.
Michael recognizes Garth too, since he was in Dean's head. Garth says he's still a friend to Dean, though he has a family now which means he has to be on the winning side. Hmmm. Not sure I believe you Garth, but hopefully Michael does.
After the opening wings, we return to the bunker. Jack eats cookie crisp cereal in the middle of the night and tells Castiel not to tell Dad – I mean, Sam — which I find endearing. Cas reassures Jack that of course he's having trouble sleeping, since he was just brought back to life.
Cas: We've all been there. Sort of a rite of passage around here.
Me: He's not wrong.
Sometimes watching a show that's been on the air fourteen years is an unusual experience, because a lot of really odd things have happened to the main characters – repeatedly. I kinda like that they acknowledge it outright, so thanks for that Robert Berens.
Jack wants to know why Sam and Dean can't know about the deal Cas made, but Cas says he doesn't want them to have that burden. Besides, he reasons, this hunting life they live is a lot of things, but happy is rarely one of them, so maybe he'll be safe for a long time.
Again, he's not wrong.
Meanwhile, my suspicions about Garth are proved right – he's checking in with Sam. Sam feels guilty already, worried that Garth will have to drink Michael's super-charged blood since he's undercover – and Sam's the one who pulled him out of retirement. Dean does a little exposition to make sure viewers understand what's going on (yes yes we're following) and tries to reassure Sam, since they have some intel and possibly some weapons too.
Dean: I like our odds.
Me: Oh no, don't say that, never say that…
I didn't realize at the time that this was the only scene we'd get with just Sam and Dean, and it was a tiny one at that.
Gif: sensitivehandsomeactionman
Sam and Dean join Cas and Jack for a skype call with Ketch, sounding very posh indeed, much to Jack's amusement and Sam and Dean's annoyance. He got the magic archangel-catching egg, then apparently dropped the egg, and… then put the egg in the mail. Priority mail though, so no worries. What could go wrong?
David Haydn-Jones is very good at comedy, and his apologetic shrug and "Sorry chaps" made me smile. So did Dean's facepalm and exasperated expression, because Jensen Ackles is very good at comedy too. In fact, they all are, luckily for us.
Back at Michael headquarters overlooking the soon-to-be-doomed Kansas City, second-in-command Melanie reassures Garth that he can safely (sort of) drink the supercharged archangel blood potion, which of course he's trying to avoid doing.
Melanie: Don't worry, only about one in 7 volunteers explodes.
Garth tries not to swallow (snicker), but Michael makes sure he does. Garth seems okay, and he pointedly does not tell Sam what he's done when he calls to report in. That can't be good. Michael, Garth tells Sam, is after Dark Kaia, determined to destroy her spear, and he has an army of turned monsters ready to eat up Kansas City – on Christmas!
Dean: All nogged up, waiting for Santa – Merry Freakin' Christmas!
Dean Winchester really does have a way with words.
For once, the Winchesters have a few aces up their sleeve – the egg, which they plan to steal from the postal facility where it got snagged (don't you hate when that happens right at the holidays?), some bespelled cuffs that may hold Michael, and Kaia's spear still in play too. Of course, just when the Winchesters think they have a few aces is when all hell tends to break loose.
Unfortunately, that means Sam and Dean splitting up, which always makes me unhappy and happens every other second on the show these days. Sam and Jack go to the post office and Dean and Cas head for the deserted warehouse to find the spear and Michael's monsters.
Cas notes that Dean seems happy (which strikes me as not exactly the correct emotion, but this is Cas after all). Dean says he's fired up, because when was the last time they had a no strings attached win?
Of course, Cas knows there are strings attached, so ouch.
Dean tells Cas something I've been really wanting him to say out loud, and especially to tell Sam – that he thought he understood what it meant to be possessed, but really he didn't. He has always had sympathy for Sam, and in fact his hatred for Lucifer is fueled by his rage that the possession was agonizing for his brother, but he didn't have empathy – because he didn't know how devastating it is to be powerless against it, to have to watch your body do things you loathe, to be traumatized and used and entirely helpless and impotent. Now he does.
And now? All he wants is to kill Michael for that violation.
I'm glad Dean got to say that, and I was glad that he opened up to Sam in a previous episode and described what his own possession and violation was like, and Sam was clearly empathic and moved by it. But Sam also needs to hear that Dean understands now how unspeakably horrific Sam's possession was. Cas was, of course, possessed too, but Sam's experience and Castiel's experience being possessed by Lucifer were very different. Cas has said that he was asleep most of the time, so while in retrospect he is, of course, feeling a similar sense of impotence and rage, it wasn't the extended trauma that Sam's possession was – or the constant being drowned and suffocated sensation that Dean's was. I'm glad Dean told Cas, but please Show, can he tell his brother who really needs to hear it?
They find the warehouse empty, though it looks like Kaia has been there.
Meanwhile, Sam lets Jack try his hand at lock picking since he's eager to prove himself and be useful. Jack is adorably proud of himself when he succeeds and gets a 'nice work' from Dad Sam. He even manages a "happy holidays" as they leave, as the place is amusingly and incongruously decorated for Christmas. Incongruous because there's nothing light and cheery about this episode!
Just as Sam notices a shady looking black van and gets suspicious, he gets whacked on the back of the head while some shady guys grab Jack. Poor Sam, one more concussion!
And then – here's Michael!
Michael: Hey Sam, happy holidays.
(Michael is developing more and more personality as the season goes on, it seems).
He tosses Sam into a van (more concussion), but I love Sam's bravery here as he rushes the archangel to try to save Jack even as he must know it's fruitless and could be his own death sentence. I love me some fierce and fearless and protective Sam – but alas, Michael destroys the egg and knocks Sam out. One possible weapon gone.
Dean keeps calling Sam's phone and getting no answer, and now he's upset. (See, Dean? Stop splitting up, for godsakes!) Of course, Michael was in fact not fooled by Garth, and yes Dean, this is, in fact, a setup. Kaia is there in the warehouse though, and this time Dean asks her for the spear instead of trying to forcibly take it from her.
He tells her the truth, that Michael has his family, and he's going to torture them just like he tortured Dean. Just like he tortured Kaia. And Dean can't stand for that to happen.
Dean: So if you're not going to give it to me, kill me.
I think he means it, and Cas looks ready to jump out of his skin, but Dean stands his ground, the tip of the spear at his chest. And Kaia agrees. She says that all she wants is to go back to the Bad Place. There are monsters here chasing her too, and at least there she understood how to deal with that. She wants Jack to send her back – because she too has people she is bound to protect.
Kaia hands Dean the spear….
And Dean's phone rings.
Sam: He's got Jack.
They all head to Kansas City, Sam from one direction and Dean and Cas from the other. (I'm not sure why they didn't bring Kaia with them, since she's got as much beef with Michael as they do. And why was Kaia not caught by Michael before now? Hmm). For that matter, why didn't they call Mary and Bobby and whoever else for backup? They have all these AU hunters around, but they go after the Big Bad alone, just the four of them?
Cas says what Dean is clearly thinking too: Sam, don't you go in there alone.
Me: Uh oh.
Meanwhile, Michael tells a bound Jack his plan, to turn all of Kansas City into his loyal monsters. When Jack says "I hate you," Michael comes back with "Jack, we're family, we're the only kin each of us has left in this world."
Interesting commentary on family, a core theme of this show.
Jack: You're not family.
Michael is convinced, however, that in time – over eons – Jack's loyalty to the Winchesters, to Cas, to humans, will fade. I'm not entirely sure why Michael wants to convince Jack to be on his side. I get that if Jack's powers come back, he would be a threat, so Michael would want to either kill him or keep him close, but recruit him? Hmm.
Jack: Sam, Dean, and Castiel – they'll come for me.
Michael just smiles.
Felisha makes it look very scary.
Outside, the turned vampire and werewolf prepare for the takeover, but they haven't counted on Sam Winchester – who did not listen to Castiel's very good advice and arrives well before Dean and Cas.
Whack, he beheads the vamp.
Love me some Sam Fucking Winchester!
He didn't even stay out of the building, in fact – he goes right in and beheads Melanie in the elevator. RIP Melanie!
Sam frees Jack, and oh dear, that was way too easy!
Sure enough, Garth finds them and uh oh, that can't be right, why is Garth still alive and kicking when we know that Michael caught him on the phone with Sam…. And it isn't. Garth clearly tries to fight it, but he eventually succumbs to the monster potion he ingested and attacks them.
"He's in my head, Sam, he won't let me stop," Garth sobs as he rushes Sam. "I'm sorry!"
Sam, because he's Sam, tries to talk Garth out of it, and gets beat up in the process. Jack also leaps in and tries to help. Eventually Sam knocks Garth out, and they put him in the trunk just as Dean and Cas arrive.
Dean (sarcastic): Thanks for waiting for us.
Me: Yeah, Sam!
Dean's feeling confident now because he has the spear – cue some Ackles improv juggling the spear in the parking lot where they meet up and almost whacking Sam in the head with it. (Stunt wizard Rob Hayter confirmed that was "all Jensen" – and that he's a very quick study, but we already knew that, didn't we?)
Gif: Itsokaysammy
Meanwhile, Cas heals Jack (hey, some of his powers are back! I am forever confused as to whether Cas has powers or doesn't, since it seems at the whim of whoever is writing the particular episode)
Dean: Impossible odds, feels like home.
Ode to Joy then starts to play because this is a) a Christmas themed episode and b) apparently an homage to "Die Hard." The foursome walk slowly and dramatically across the parking lot ala "Reservoir Dogs". I have to say, that didn't entirely work for me. First, that dramatic slow-mo walk has already been used to good effect in the Tarantino-esque episode, and second, with the super dramatic music and the super dramatic slow-mo it was just….too dramatic! I couldn't quite take it seriously, yet it felt like we were supposed to take it seriously. Maybe cool it on the film homage sequences, Show. Maybe it's one of those things you can't over use if you want it to be effective.
It also looked really odd to have Dean and Cas in the front instead of Sam and Dean, who are usually – pretty much always – the ones leading. Was that a ship offering? I honestly don't know, but it struck me as odd and threw me out of that scene even more.
We're now in the final five minutes and I know something dramatic is going to happen, but luckily I wasn't sure exactly what that was going to be. They all know that Michael will be able to sense Castiel, and that's what happens first, Cas going in ahead and trying to attack with what I'm assuming is an archangel blade? Misha Collins gets to do some fight scene sequences, trench coat flying as he spars with Michael. Michael, of course, beats the crap out of him, dragging him into the penthouse apartment that has a beautiful view of the impending havoc. Cas has had his share of being beaten and bloodied this season, that's for sure.
Next, he dispatches Sam and Jack, though I am once again impressed with Sam Winchester's bravery. Finally, Dean attacks with Kaia's spear. Ackles is a lot more adept at wielding the spear now than he was in the garage, but Michael soon overpowers Dean, lifting him up off the ground and choking him.
Michael: I'm so glad you could make it tonight. I know you hate me, Dean, but just remember – you let me in. And now you get to see it, everything your mistake made possible. All the bloodshed, all the death, all on you.
Oh no, poor Dean, way to stoke his guilt!
But Michael didn't count on Sam, who reaches the spear and calls out for his brother.
Sam: Dean!
That means we get a lovely moment of Winchesters working in sync as Sam tosses the spear to Dean (I take these little moments when I can get them).
He grabs the spear and gashes Michael, then backs him up menacingly.
Jack: Kill him!
Dean hesitates, his time as Michael flashing before his eyes.
Sam: (instinctively realizing something's wrong) Dean?
Then the new vessel falls over, and… Dean cracks the spear in two and slowly turns around, blue eyes glowing.
Sam: No.
Michael (menacingly): Yeah.
He goes on, taunting Sam.
Michael: When I gave up Dean, you didn't think to question, to ask why?
All of fandom: YES WE DID, WE HAD A LOT OF THEORIES!
Michael: Dean was resisting me. He was too attached to you. To all of you. He wouldn't stop squirming, to get out, to get back.
Unfortunately, as most of us suspected, Michael left a crack – a way to get back in.
Cas: Why wait?
Michael: To break him. To crush and disappoint him completely. So he'll be nice and quiet this time. Buried. And he is. He's gone.
Michael points out that he now has a whole army out there.
Michael: Ready. For this.
Thanos-esque snap and the screen goes black.
I wasn't bowled over by the ending since it's more or less what I expected. I figured that Michael left some sort of portal behind so he could both spy when he wanted to, and so he could get back in. I am a little confused about what Michael said though. What has he done to break and crush Dean in the time since he left? If he'd been in his head tormenting him more, or if we'd seen more aftermath of Dean's possession trauma, that would have made more sense. After talking with the cast and the showrunner and writers at Comic-Con, I was very hopeful that we'd get to see a lot of the psychological effects of Dean's possession and see him struggle with some PTSD. If he had, then what Michael said would make perfect sense – but we haven't really seen that, much to my disappointment. There was that one scene where Dean opened up to Sam and told him what it was like, like being constantly drowned, but that was it. Other than that, Dean has seemed to be coping well enough – well enough that his own mother up and left because I'm assuming she didn't think Dean was having any post-trauma issues.
So what is Michael referring to, that he thinks will keep Dean quiet this time? Is it just that Dean got his hopes up with finding some of the weapons that might have worked, only to be crushed? Was that supposed to crush him? Not the Dean Winchester I know, Michael!
It almost seems like a more horrible thing to do to Sam and Cas and Jack – they all thought they had Dean back for good and then whoosh, he was taken from them again. (They are clearly more trusting – or optimistic – than fandom).
Sam looks pretty devastated, and I appreciate Jared Padalecki's acting here. I know Sam and Dean still care about each other, but I need to SEE it. They spend less time together this season onscreen, so their relationship doesn't feel like the compelling emotional focus that drew me into the show and has kept me here for fourteen seasons. Sometimes it's only one of the actors' expressions that gives me a clue that the emotional focus that was always there still exists, even if it's disappointingly under the surface some of the time.

I actually forgot that this was the mid-season finale until the very end – it didn't feel like it, didn't feel like there had been enough of a lead up to build the tension and angst and anticipation. I think that's partly because it's a shorter season, but mostly because a fair number of this season's episodes haven't hooked me in the way I'm accustomed to with this show. This was a solid episode with little canon fail and good acting all around, but it didn't leave me holding my breath and exclaiming that I can't stand to have to wait through the mid-season mini hellatus. I complain about that, but I secretly love it – and miss it.
The last scene was the strongest in the episode, partly because Jensen Ackles absolutely slayed as Michael. I almost wish they didn't do the glowing blue eyes thing, because it is crystal clear the moment that Dean becomes Michael. We don't need to see the glowy eyes. Ackles can change so many subtle nonverbal and verbal characteristics that you can SEE the transformation, which is truly incredible.
It looks like when we do come back from the break, Sam and Cas will be inside Dean's head trying to rescue him. I don't want to get too hopeful, but that sounds pretty intriguing, so I'm looking forward to that episode. (Also, I think I've read way too many interesting would-never-be-canon fan fics about what either Sam or Cas would find in Dean's head, depending on what you ship or if you ship… it won't be any of those, but I wonder what it will be!)
So, here's a cautiously optimistic wish for the second half of Season 14 to hook me back in with those emotional arcs that have kept me watching for all these years. In order to do that, I need at least some focus on Sam and Dean's relationship, because that has always been the heart of what the show is about. (Mr. Berens, I know you can do that, because you co-wrote one of my favorite episodes of all time, Red Meat). It's fine to show me their relationships with others important to them too, but I need that central relationship between the brothers to anchor the show and make me care about what happens to the Winchesters, and by extension, to the others they care about. It's that relationship that makes this show unique and compelling, and if I don't get to see it at all, the emotional pull goes with it.

I bid you welcome gentle readers, and as always, a warm welcome to that person assigned by NASCAR to read all we write here today and what you good folks have to say about it. Maybe it's love; maybe they just want to catch us in mistakes. Either way, it's a pleasure to entertain you.
Well, what did everyone think of the racing this weekend? Did all your favorites win? Did your Fantasy team outscore the rest of your gang? Nope, mine either, but to this aged race fan, there was truly one big winner this past weekend, and it wasn't the guy in the bright yellow car. Matt got lucky; the win I'm citing came from hard work and getting everything right! Did anyone notice? Well, maybe that's not really a fair question, as it seems entirely possible that I may be the last one to that table and you all might be weeks ahead of me.
She's referring to the NBC network and their coverage this past weekend of… well, just about everything. Well before the racing began, one of my "more mature" gentle readers opined that he wouldn't be watching the trucks at Pocono. The reason given was that he could no longer bear to listen to the voice of Michael Waltrip. That's a bit harsh, but that crusty ol' curmudgeon can at times be crankier than your Aunt Susan's old Model A, so the source was considered and dismissed as not being truly representative of anyone but that gentleman. Still, the point was made, and in all honesty, I must admit that my TV came with volume control and I've long since mastered the art of not listening to Michael at all.
We weren't long into that race when it slowly crept into my sensory perceptions that I was actually enjoying not only what I was seeing, but what I was hearing. The camera work on that race was something close to perfection, covering front, rear and middle of the pack with cameras drawn back so that the viewer could see at any time there were more than 2 cars on that track. The booth crew was new to me… not the persons, but the pairing. It was Ralph Sheheen and Dale Jarrett, and together they made an unexpectedly great combo.
Nothing was discussed in that booth but the race at hand and the racers within it, and that was done with experience and knowledgeable comments all the way from green to checkers. But there was something else I'd missed for a long time. Everything they talked about was in conjunction with what we at home were seeing. It became obvious that the pair was watching the same frames of the race being sent over the airwaves. They were "following the camera" as it were. How many times have you heard this scribe use that description of how the old ESPN crew of Bob Jenkins, Ned Jarrett and Benny Parsons used to get it so right?
When that race ended, I was sorry to see it go. My mind made a mental note that it was probably the best race coverage, making it the most enjoyable race I'd watched, since anywhere back in the 1990s… before this new "package" ever happened. Let's face it; in their first time out as a NASCAR broadcasting outlet, NBC failed miserably. This time, they have reached for the opposite end of that spectrum, and I do believe they've got it!
I'm pretty sure that by now, no one needs me to tell him the finishing order, or that the race ended up being a gas-mileage fiasco of major proportions, with all the good cars just a bit short on Sunoco, leaving the podium finishes to some folks that were, to put it kindly, kind of also-rans all day. Face it; it was Pocono. She is long and she is flat; she is wide except for the turns, and after a restart, the cars soon become spread out and do not offer much in the way of breath-taking excitement. A couple of incidents on pit road however, served to counteract all that on Sunday.
One was early in the race, when car #5 spun and followed directly in the tracks left when young Jeb Burton did the same during Saturday practice. Each of them attempted to take down the wall separating the pits from the area where crews do what crews do when their car is on the track. Burton's car had assailed the wall between pits 42 and 43. Kahne's took him even farther down the road before making that abrupt stop that concrete will affect every time. Equipment left resting on the wall took to the air in the form of unguided missiles, scattering everywhere. It was not a pretty sight, but no one was injured… this time.
In the second instance, Brad Keselowski screamed into his pit just a teeny-weeny bit too hot, slid right through it and out the other end, taking with him his jackman and tire carrier. The latter turned that car into a pretty fair imitation of Mickey Gilley's mechanical bull as he rode it out on the hood. Again, no one was seriously injured, but it wasn't for lack of trying.
A note to all of my SAFER barrier enthusiasts concerning the incidents with the wall involving Burton and Kahne. As I keep reminding you, there are times and places where SAFER is not the answer, and this is one of them. Consider that the wall in question is the one over which crews have to jump to service their car when it comes to the pits. If that wall were the height and depth of a SAFER barrier, those guys would have to develop something close to the ability to leap tall buildings at a single bound. In this instance, the remedy being "discussed" is to simply discontinue use of a few of those rear pits and move them up toward the front, out of harm's way. It's the Pocono frontstretch; there's plenty of room.
With that discussion put aside, let's return to the coverage of the race, this time with the "A" team in the booth, which consists of Rick Allen, Steve Letarte and Jeff Burton. Gentle readers, these guys are good! I'm rather embarrassed that they've been here since Daytona and I've just now gotten around to paying attention to them. If the coverage of all the action on the short track was great, then the coverage of the sometimes lack of action on the big triangle was superb!
That crew was absolutely into that race, and their one purpose was clearly to see that we, the fans, got the most possible enjoyment out of it. There was no patter among them; only conversation pertaining to what we were seeing at that moment on our home screens. All of it was done in excited tones, denoting that a good time was being had by all. Several times through the race, we were treated to a full-field rundown with the pit reporters taking the lead on that one. Now, those rundowns could usually be marketed as a cure for insomnia, but these were not boring in any way. As the camera panned from one car to the next, we were given a brief offering of pertinent facts… driver, car make, team, place in the field at that moment… then the rundown was handed off to the next reporter, as most of us have heard Barney Hall and the MRN gang do for many years… from corner to corner, which each giving the name of the next voice you will hear. Kudos and thanks to Mike Massaro, Marty Snider, Kelli Stavast and Dave Burns for an awesome job!
Looking back, this old gal can tell you that she hasn't enjoyed the races on TV that much in donkey years. The overnight TV ratings came out today, and they were roundly discouraging, giving Sunday's race the lowest ratings for Pocono in perhaps ever. Guys and gals, I think we owe it to this sport we've loved, some of us for a long lifetime, to give the NBC crews a chance. This is something we've been looking for and hoping for, for a long, long time… a chance to sit down in front of our TVs and actually enjoy a race! We used to do it, though I know many of you can't remember that far back.
And speaking of the Glen, we'd be remiss if we didn't share a map of the SAFER barriers at the old track.
As one might expect with a road course, we won't find SAFER barriers in great abundance, but obviously this old dog has learned a couple of new tricks over the years, as SAFER has been added to known trouble spots. Still, I'm sorry to report that Watkins Glen International failed to even respond to the survey mentioned here in an earlier article. That's not too courteous Michael Printup. We love your track, but we love our drivers more.
Time now for our Classic Country Closeout and today we're going to hear from just a single artist, perhaps not Classic in the "classic" sense of the word, but he's a guy I have fun listening to, so let's hear some offerings from Bill Fries.
Another interesting note… the gentleman that produced Convoy and several others is a guy named Chip Davis, but you'd recognize him and his group better as Mannheim Steamroller. Lord, the trivia an old gal can pick up along the way. My collection boasts a couple of his albums, and of all the songs on them I think my favorite is one called, "The Silverton." I'm not sure why this one sparks my interest. I just like it!


This astonishing chronicle of life and death in the Jewish Ghetto of Kovno, Lithuania, from June 1941 to January 1944, was written under conditions of mortal danger by a Ghetto inmate and secretary of the Jewish Council. Through it all, Avraham Tory's overriding purpose was to record the unimaginable events of those years and to memorialise the determination of the Jews to sustain life in the midst of the Nazi terror. It is a supreme achievement.
Martin Gilbert's masterly introduction presents these events against the backdrop of the war in Europe and considers the crucial questions of collaboration and resistance.

OP Waifu: #24 Capturing the dungeon, first half "Sending the monsters flying"
Arc 02: Guild and Competition for the cursed sword
Chapter 24: Capturing the dungeon, first half "Sending the monsters flying"
The dungeon's entrance was located halfway up the mountain.
There are no lookouts. That's expected, I guess. The count must be thinking that there's no need for them since venturing to the lower floors and obtaining the cursed sword in just couple of days is impossible.
Or he could be thinking that they could just attack whoever took the sword on their way back.
Oh well, it's fine either way. We should just stay vigilant.
"I have one last thing I would like to ask"
Leticia spoke up at the entrance to the dungeon.
"What're you planning to do if you cannot summon the cursed sword after all?"
"We aren't planning anything in particular. We will just return, I guess?"
"W-wha?"
"…Why do you look astonished?"
"W-wasn't it your goal to scare the hell out of the count?"
"Yeah, it was. However, it's not like the count is a longtime enemy of mine. He is, at most, on the same level as a half-eaten lunch box in the corner of a room, or paper waste that was just thrown into a trash bin. Basically, 'something that may be on my find if I leave it alone'"
With these words, I began verifying my equipment. Shortsword – check. Leather armor – check. Backpack – check. Skill set – check. Broom – check. Strings to carry stuff on my back – check.
Yeah, the preparations have been done properly.
"The most important for me is to reach the next town safely with everyone. We will pull back if things get dangerous. I am also thinking of going back if things get too bothersome as well"
"….Pffh"
For some reason, Leticia pressed her mouth and stiffed her laugh.
"Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu! I see. It seems I can more or less understand the reason why everyone follows you"
With a clunking sound, Leticia hit on the longsword in the scabbard.
"Still, how about I become your slave too?"
I can do without that. Aside from that, things would get terrible if the number of my family members increased further.
"Well then, this is for Aine" — I passed the broom to Aine.
"Use it just like how I taught you earlier. Rita and I will try to handle those whom you fail to defeat"
"I understand, Honorable Master"
The clothes that Aine was wearing right now were maid clothes. Despite being spacious, the insides were apparently furnished with chain mail. We were given this article in the hidden second-hand shop after I had requested them to find something suitable for Aine. Looking at her now, the current clothes matched her too much.
"Vanguards are Rita, Aine, and Leticia. Rearguards are Cecyl and I. We will proceed through the first and the second floor with this formation. Any objections?"
"None!" "R-o-oger!" "I understand" "I agree"
Everyone returned their replies.
Speaking of which, it's my first time diving into the dungeon. I was told that interior was bright due to the illumination of the luminous moss. The map's in my head, so let's proceed with the shortest route.
"Now, the operation 'Seizure of the Cursed Sword' begins"
A group of monster appeared.
I was told that first and second levels of the dungeons were originally a mine. The layout inside consisted of bare rock formations with moss clinging to it and shining in pale blue color.
I wonder where the water is leaking out from for things for it to feel so humid.
A one meter tall shadowy figure appeared, and —
"Leave it to me, Na-kun!"
Before I could verify the monster, Aine's broom drew an arc in the air.
"[Monster Sweeping LV1] !!"
*sweep* *sweep* *lifting up*
Three monsters blocking our way jumped into the air.
"Giant toad.
A large frog that lives in humid places and waterfronts.
It has a trait of driving out humans who enter its territory.
Special skill: a body blow utilizing its jumping strength and large build"
The giants toads in the air crashed into the wall. Which incidentally, crushed them completely.
Yep, this was the end.
"Yeah, let's continue advancing forward." We started progressing at quick pace. The firstmost vanguard Aine was sweeping absolutely everything that was on the walls and on the floor with her broom. Each and every time monsters appeared, they were thrown into the air and onto the walls, becoming unable to move.
Yesterday, I bought two skill crystals at the skill shop. Most of the goods were bought up by the Noble Guild who were preparing for their dungeon hunt, but a few low level common skills still remained.
When I came to this world, I already had "Smiting LV1" and "Sweeping LV1" skills. I also had the experience combining these skills.
[Monster Sweep LV1" – a skill "to clean" "low-level monsters" with "sweeping/cleaning tools". It would brush away low-level monsters far away with the help of the tools used for cleaning.
[Building Strike LV1] – a skill "to deal" "powerful damage" to "a building". It would cause a great deal of damage to room's walls and interior. Destruction special characteristics: [Brick], [Wooden walls].
I had no need for [Building Strike]. Selling it was dangerous, so I had taken it (it could be useful against intruders).
Our current goal was to speed up the conquer of the dungeon, so [Monster Sweep] was more necessary. The experiment to check whether it can send low-level monsters flying had already been completed.
By the way, Aine herself wished to have this skill installed into her.
"[Monster Sweep LV1]! [Monster Sweep LV1]! [Monster Swee-e-ep]!"
*sweep-sweep-sweep*
*whoosh-whoosh-whoosh*
Large mouses, Large bats, even emerald slimes were no exception. The monsters touched by Aine's broom danced through the air in amusing ways.
Being sent flying, they crashed into the walls of rock and fell down. If we weren't in the dungeon, they would probably made to fly for several hundreds meters. So amazing.
The success rate of [Monster Sweep LV1] seemed to be between 30% and 50%.The unaffected monsters (they were still surprised by their comrades suddenly being blown off) were dealt with by Rita, Leticia, and me.
We pushed our way through the dungeon at quick pace. The ratio at which monsters appeared was surprisingly low. Or rather, they were hiding in the tunnel corners and fixedly looking in our direction without trying to approach us. I wondered if this was the norm for the first floor of the dungeon.
"…isn't it's because they're monsters that they feel reluctant to deal with an opponent who has such nonsense skill?"
"… My whole comprehension of how capturing the dungeon is generally done utterly crumbles"
Walking behind Aine and her buzzing broom, Rita and Leticia murmured. It couldn't be helped, we would've wasted too much time if we went about it the usual way.
Thanks to [Monster Sweep LV1], the role-playing game of capturing the dungeon turned into an action game of matching the appearance of monsters with the waving of the broom. Thus we passed the first floor in just a little bit under an hour.
Then we descended the rope ladder into the second floor.
"Shall we rest for a bit?" Once I said that, Aine rapidly shook her head.
"Aine feels perfect right now"
"Perfect?"
"I feel like I am living the life. Until now I was merely a backup for adventurers after all"
Aine tightly gripped her custom-made broom that I'd asked the second-hand shop to prepare. It's handle was made of iron, and the brush was made from animal hair.
"This feeling of using my all for those whom I hold dear, it feels so good"
Moreover, she looked somewhat drowsy in the eyes. Breathing out heavily, she was gripping her chest seemingly in pain.
"Na-kun should make use of Aine, tell her of his wishes. Those that cause Aine to shudder, those that make her feel good. Na-kun's glance, Na-kun's words, Na-kun's orders… they are Aine's reward"
"Um… Aine, hello? Do you hear me?"
"Use Aine more, until both her body and the entirety of hel soul runs out. Let her serve you more and more. So that anyone would understand that Aine fully belongs to Na-kun"
"Why do you let your inner workaholic out?!"
"You see, if Aine doesn't do her job perfectly, there will be complaints"
Aine tilted her head in puzzlement.
"A customer will seek compensation if the quest paper has misprint in it. A client will get angry if any monsters survive the hunting. Aine will end up having to commission a quest again and pay it from my own pocket. A job has to be done properly, otherwise it's not good. That's why Aine will fight with her utmost effort. There is no other way"
"How long have I been telling you this isn't a job?!"
"Obtaining the cursed sword is just a pastime. I am just taking everyone along on my hobby trip"
Aine probably still haven't let go of the feeling of doing labor at the Common Guild for 22 hours every day. It's just like Leticia told us, Aine was like a water wheel rotating at high speeds. She was addicted to working, feeling a high when her heart and body were running wild. I experienced that as well.
It was as Leticia foretold, Aine was already at her limit.
"As I've said it before, us trying to obtain the cursed sword and giving a surprise blow to the count is simply a hobby for me. Although we're doing it seriously, we are far from being desperate about it. You can treat it like a simple game"
"Then, what should Aine do, Na-kun?"
"Isn't it fine if you just move at your own pace?"
"What if I fail? What if miss at brushing away the monsters? Wouldn't everyone be troubled by that?"
"It's fine, us who behind will cover for you"
"Is that the order of Aine's Master?"
"I would prefer you call it my wish"
"So Aine is free to do what she wants to, right?"
"That's reasonable, isn't it?"
"Can I say that I want to rest when I get tired? You won't say that I behave like a spoiled child even if I ask for a glass of water in the middle of the work, will you? You won't shout at me if I crouch down because it's painful to stand?"
"I won't"
Say, just how much was Aine worked by the adventurers of the Common Guild and her uncle?
"It gets lonely, so may I ask Na-kun to gently brush my head whenever it happens?"
"Yeah…. Ehm, eh?"
"I feel somehow lonely, so I want you to brush my head, Master"
Said Aine and looked up at me, she was gripping her broom with visible anxiety.
Ummm.
"…there-there"
I rustled the Aine's hair, adorned with pure white headpiece. They felt so soft, much like running your hand through the high quality feathered futon.
"Mmn," — Aine closed her eyes like she was in pain, and purred much like a cat would do. Taking my hand that was brushing her head, she guided to towards her cheek then. It seems she wanted me to brush it too.
Oh well, if you insist…
"…Haa…"
"Um, isn't it enough already?"
"Aine wants Na-kun to touch her every nook and corner"
"Why are you saying this so indulgently?!"
"Na-kun told me to speak what's on my mind and it's that I want"
"He said only about speaking about them"
"That's why the words just overflow from my chest, they're spilling out"
"…You should do it once we leave the dungeon, you know?"
"Yeah, I got it. Let's then end our rest, shall we?"
Aine binded carefully her now loose hair. As she adjusted the apron of her maid clothes, her large chest swayed. While holding her hands together bashfully, She immediately looked up to me.
"There is one thing I would like Na-kun— no, Master to remember," — taking a posture with her broom, Aine said.
"When it comes to your Aine-onee-chan, there is not a single a thing that wouldn't be a reward as long as it's done by Na-kun, okay?" — whispering into my ear, Aine smiled.
Looks like I managed to flip some dangerous switch…

Chester Hospital Baby Deaths Probe: Nurse Lucy Letby Rearrested
by Laura Niklas
A nurse has been rearrested by police investigating the deaths of babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neo-natal unit.
Lucy Letby was first arrested in July last year on suspicion of the murder of eight babies and the attempted murder of another six.
She has now been rearrested in connection with the attempted murder of three additional babies, police said.
Cheshire Police are probing the deaths of 17 infants between 2015 and 2016.
The force launched an investigation two years ago and officers are also investigating 16 non-fatal collapses at the neonatal unit during the same period of March 2015 to July 2016.
Ms Letby, originally from Hereford, had been on bail since July after her home in Chester was searched by police.
A spokesman for the Countess of Chester Hospital said it was "co-operating fully" with the investigation.
Det Insp Paul Hughes said the investigation was "extremely challenging" and that parents of all the babies were being kept fully updated.
"We fully appreciate that it continues to have a big impact on all those involved – including the families of the babies, staff and patients at the hospital as well as members of the public," he said.
"This is an extremely difficult time for all the families and it is important to remember that, at the heart of this, there are a number of bereaved families seeking answers as to what happened to their children."
