beb, your fic about jacob sucking in bed when??? am looking forward like a little gremlin
omg I am literally ferociously in love with you! I will definitely get back on that. for now, have some wip of my deputy experiencing mediocre seed dick for the very first time that I’ve been shrimping over most recently ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
She had curled up in “her” cage on a frayed piece of blue tarp, head down, arms wrapped under her knees around her legs, pulled in close to the body. Her spine ached. Visuals of the most recent trial still flashed through her mind.
Train. Hunt. Kill. Sacrifice.
Excellent.
More.
Train. Hunt. Kill. Sacrifice.
Train. Hunt. Kill. Sacrifice.
Faster.
Train. Hunt. Kill. Sacrifice.
Kill.
Kill.
Kill.
Perfect.
The sound of heavy boots seemed to be approaching. Was this early for a guard change? Gigi didn’t care.
Kill.
Kill.
Kill.
The dull thuds passed her cage, followed by the soft rhythmic taps of several pairs of paws. A metal gate creaked.
Train. Hunt. Kill.
Well done.
Train. Hunt.
Yelp.
The deputy was yanked up to her feet by the nape of the neck. Arms thrashing about erratically.
“Fucking–” Now a dog yelped right next to her. “Leave me!” She gasped for air, desperately trying, but failing, to land any punches.
“Hush, Deputy.” It was a familiar voice who gave that command. “And you, leave it!”, Jacob snarled at a Judge nervously treading on the spot right next to them, clearly upset at Gigi trying to defend herself against its owner.
“Fuck you!”
“Uh uh uh”, Jacob rebuked, letting go of her scruff to instead catch her wrist, painfully bending her arms behind her back. Her legs almost gave out under her own weight. She stared at his face, eyes burning with anger, which he conveniently ignored to instead produce a large pair of zip ties that he used to bind her hands together.
For a second her world went dark again. Not another round of drugs. Please, no. She was yanked to her feet once more, this time thankfully by a large hand firmly holding onto her upper arm. Gigi felt her blood leaving her face, her lips getting cold. Her blood pressure had tanked.
“Don’t you give out on me now. The weak have their purpose too but I did not think you were one of them.”
Fuck you. Stop taunting me, this is your fault. She just snorted disparagingly.
Her vision was still a little fuzzy at the edges from the previous dose of Bliss but it had worn off enough for her to be able to see, mostly, clearly. Jacob had not only brought one but two Judges into the cage with him and in addition to that Staci, who was standing outside the grimy metal bars, head lowered but surreptitiously sneaking fearful glances in their direction periodically.
Jacob half led, half dragged her out of the prisoner complex, his pets, the dogs and Staci, obediently following into the Veterans Center building and up several flights of stairs. It took her everything to not stumble and fall. The least she could need right now was to break her fucking neck and knock a few teeth out on the way right in the enemy’s nest. She feverishly tried to memorize any bits and pieces of the place’s layout but nothing would stick in her mangled mind.
Leaving the stairs on the top floor they steadily approach a white double door with a guard posted in front of it. He seemed amused at the sight of the notorious Junior Deputy in such an unfavorable position but thankfully did not comment on her situation, nodding instead at Jacob and greeting him. He returned the nod and opened the door, commanding Staci to wait outside.
She hated how he called him Peaches but what she hated even more was how Staci would not even react to the belittlement. Sure, she had only gotten to know the other Junior Deputies rather briefly before they had been torn apart but Staci Pratt had been cocky and prideful from the first time they had exchanged words. He liked to show off, was a bit of a poser – of course, pretty-boy-Pratt had to be – but he seemed to have been capable of his job just fine. At least as much as she could tell before shit had hit the fan.
She would have lingered more on wondering what Jacob had done to him to change his demeanor so drastically, had she not have been way more concerned with what he would be about to do to her, now that they were alone and it made her stomach turn. They now stood in what she assumed was Jacob’s office. It was a rather large room with four desks pushed together to assemble a mega-desk, lots of screens, radio equipment, and heaps of paper scattered all over, topped off with a garnish of a few lose bullets, overflowing ashtrays and some plates with the last remainders of long-gone meals stuck to them. The unmistakable smell of stale, cold smoke hung over the scene. Both Judges immediately assumed their positions, guarding the door through which they had just entered and another one of the similar dimensions, which seemed to lead outside onto a deck or balcony opposing them…
Jacob pushed her into the center of the room right in front of the huge desk and spun her around to face him. It suddenly struck her that they had never been together without any restraints between them and while he had always been the one to dominate these situations anyway, the set-up right now frightened her more than anything else had so far. The Deputy and the soldier eye to eye.
With a slight chuckle, he commanded “Down. On your knees”.
“Sure.” Gigi tried to give him the very best of her sass. However, in this very moment, it was not a lot.
Maintaining eye contact Jacob reached down and grabbed the back of her knee, sweeping her off her feet. His movements were quick and precise, methodical almost, like a mountain lion finally charging its prey after stanking it for miles. She hit the tiled floor, failing to dampen the fall with her tied hands. Her body and her pride – they hurt.
“I said on. Your. Knees.” he growled, making sure to pronounce every syllable, anchoring a hand in the dull tangled mess that was her hair, pulling her upright once more to have her rest her on her knees just as he had asked. The burning sensation on her scalp made tears shoot to her eyes.
For fucks sake, what was it gonna be..? At this point, she was really not keen on having to fight back, uncertain whether her mangled body would even allow for it.
“Jacob”, she croaked but her voice broke off. In an expression of almost pleasant surprise, he raised a copper eyebrow. He did not let go of her hair but he did reach behind him, pulling a flask from his belt.
No more Bliss shit. Please!
Like last time, he unscrewed the cap and touched the opening to her lips. It did not smell of Bliss. In fact, it did not smell of anything at all. He tipped it and her head back at the same time and she hastily gulped it down as if she had wandered the desert without water for seven days. This time she did not accidentally cough it up again and she finished the entire drink in merely a few swings. Maintaining some weariness she quietly thanked him as he screwed the cap back on and set the flask aside.
“See, Deputy, obedience usually pays off.”
She directed her gaze down, avoiding eye contact at all costs. Gigi was way too tired and weak for whatever mind games he wanted to play this time around. Her back still hurt, her arm ached where he had grabbed her and the zip ties painfully cut into her wrists. Mindlessly giving in and just letting him take control was so tempting in that moment. It could be easy. But she had to be strong.
“You belong to me. You’re mine, Deputy. You and I, both know that.”
Fuck, if anyone of the resistance could have seen her now… They’d sure be disgusted by her. She should have fought back, bite his thigh, headbutt him in the groin. Anything! But she did not have it in her. Apart from that, she was much smaller and lighter anyway. She barely reached up to his shoulder.
“Because I’m weak? Is it that? Am I yours because I’m weak?”
Another rumbling chuckle.
“No, pup, because you are strong. When I saw you for the first time I thought, you were weak like Peaches, who hid behind you like some toddler. Just another coward, drawn to law enforcement by the promise of power. Now, look at you acing the trials! Your ferocity was a pleasant surprise. I could get used to keeping you around.”
Please don't make me your second Peaches. I just want to go.
Jacob closed the digits of his left hand around her chin, the tips of his right index and middle finger barely brushing over her lips.
“Open wide, Deputy.”
Gigi complied. It was easier and less painful than whatever he had planned for her in case she disobeyed.
“Good girl.”
He shoved both fingers in her mouth. They spread the metallic taste of dried blood mixed with grime on her tongue as he dragged them over it.
“Suck.”
Fuck.
”Good.”
This was hot.
No, no, no. This can’t be hot!
She closed her eyes in shame while Jacob slowly pushed his fingers in and out of her mouth. Meanwhile, an army of conflicting emotions was fighting a raging war inside of her.
You and your piece-of-shit oral fixation, Gigi.
Her knees hurt.
I just want to go.
The comfort of having something warm in her mouth to take her mind off things and not being actively hurt in this situation was a welcome change to anything else the soldier had done to her in the past weeks. Yet, she did not want to give him the satisfaction of displaying any positive reactions to his actions.
It’s good though.
Isn’t it?
With a soft pop, Jacob removed his digits from her mouth, a glistening string of saliva briefly keeping them connected. She forced herself to look up at him again but he was already busy fumbling with his belt instead of returning her gaze.
You gotta run now or you’re gonna have Jacob Seed shove something other than his dirty hillbilly fingers in your cakehole.
He did not waste any time undoing his pants, revealing he was already hard.
Do you really want this?
Kind of?
He pumped his hand up and down his shaft a couple of times before pushing his cock past her lips. He was big but she could take him.
“Perfect. Keep going.”
Good. Perfect. Excellent. More.
Taking on a steady rhythm he began thrusting, cradling the back of her head for support. Thoughts were trickling from her mind as if someone had opened a drain to her brain. A sensation she had recently only ever felt on Bliss. – Had she just moaned?
Yes. Whatever.
“Pup, you’re showing qualities I had only ever suspected.”
The praise reverberated through her but she was way too satisfied with her current occupation to pay much thought to any implications behind the words or their meaning.
Jacob almost broke her trance by pulling back and drawing his knife. She did not register it as a threat, despite him raising it to her face, even though she should have known much better. Instead, Gigi stuck out her tongue and let him drag the flat side over it. Even the taste of more dried blood did not manage to fully snap her out of it. It just felt too good to give up control right now, to not have to think.
She was pulled up, him reaching the knife behind her and cutting the ties she had been bound with.
Run. Run. Fight.
But she did not want to, fixated entirely on the tall man in front of her.
You’re a Junior Deputy to the Sheriff.
I just want to be Gigi right now.
Spun around again, Jacob walked her over to the metal-frame bed on their left. The mattress was bare and stained and did not offer more than a dusty woolen blanket and a crumpled up pillow. Still, she did not care. He bent her over and she let her knees drop onto the covers. While he went for the button on her pants and undid it. She could feel his erection rubbing on her ass and the thought of it sent a soft shiver down her spine. Without even intending to, she let out a content sigh and he responded with another “Good girl” as he pulled her pants and panties down to her knees, pinning both her wrists down behind her back with one of his strong hands, using his other to line himself up with her.
“Hm, you’re so wet, pup. So eager to please!”
He wasted no more time entering her, thrusting with the same steady rhythm from before. This gave her no time to adjust. It was somewhat painful and yet she enjoyed his warmth, the stretch and feeling filled by his cock.
In any other scenario, she’d have worried about fetching a condom, having showered before, having groomed, maybe putting on some music or pulling the curtains closed, creating some ambient lighting, the dogs still being in the room, somebody potentially hearing them, especially Staci… The only thing she was concerned with at the moment was getting fucked and fucking like an animal, just fulfilling some primal need for physical connection.
The continuous sound of skin hitting skin at an increasing pace, mixed with moans both from Jacob and Gigi, his drowning hers out by a few more decibels, filled the air. He definitely smelled musky, of sweat, dogs, the outside, gunpowder, and abundance of other things, too many to each identify, but in the heat of the moment, she found it enticing.
With an exceptionally rumbly groan Jacob moved one hand from her waist to grab the front of her shirt, tearing it down together with her bra. He palmed at her now exposed breast and his hips began to stutter. As he came inside of her, he pulled her torso to be flush with his, ghosting his other hand over her throat and keeping her in a headlock but not applying any pressure. Being held by such strong arms, his body covering hers – was the ultimate comfort in that moment for Gigi.
He used an arm to lean on the wall in front of them and let them both down on the bed to lay on their sides, still entangled. Breathing heavily, he wrapped his arms around her, absentmindedly playing with one of her nipples.
They remained in this position for a while and as she felt some cum gently trickling out of her she slowly seemed to come to her senses again.
This wasn't good.
She did not just have sex with the enemy.
…or did she?
Oh god.
A more objective look at the situation started to spread out in her mind. She was lying half-naked under Jacob Seed, someone who had tried to kill her and succeeded in that with many others in the past, the man who had tortured her, her coworkers, her friends, the brother of the person she had been supposed to arrest. She was his prisoner, for fuck’s sake! She had not only been stupid enough to submit to him but allowed him to rawdog her on top of that. She had known better, yet she did not act on that knowledge.
Fuck.
Apparently having caught his breath again, Jacob pulled out and moved off of her, standing up to tuck himself back in and zipping up his jeans. i

온라인현금바둑이 21! Card Game for Loot! (Fortnite) #475
A few years afterwards he was approached by a poker player who brought the game to The King International Casino in Aruba (now known as the Excelsior Casino) and had it patented. The poker player and the casino owner changed the rules slightly to create current Caribbean stud poker. http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=해외안전놀이터추천 The first player to receive a card, or cards, is the player to the left of the dealer; the dealer receives cards last. After all cards have been dealt, the dealer shall place the remaining cards into the discard rack without exposing the cards. More laws have been oriented to efforts by governments to derive tax revenues from gambling than to control cheating, however. Craps players routinely practice a wide range of superstitious behaviors, and may expect or demand these from other players as well.
Tumblr media
The standard progressive bet on most live Caribbean Stud poker tables is $1 but again can be much lower online.On some online casinos (eg. Evolution Gaming) an optional side can be made. Excluding jokers and tarot trumps, the French 52-card deck preserves the number of cards in the original Mamluk deck, while Latin and Germanic decks average fewer. Player's lay their cards on the layout and the dealer compares his hand with the players hands to determine which hand has the highest poker rank. If the dealer's hand is higher than the player's hand, the dealer wins both the player's ante and call bet. If instead the player's hand out ranks the dealer's hand then the player wins even money on the ante wager and the call bet is paid according to the following payout odds.This optional bet is separate from the ante and call bet and independent of the dealer's hand. The option to double down in blackjack is easy to explain.
According to the paper "An Analysis of Caribbean Stud Poker" by Peter Griffin and John M. Gwynn Jr., which appears in the book Finding the Edge, in the perfect situation of having seven colluding players, it would be possible to narrow down the dealer's unseen cards to just 16 possible cards. Yes, it is possible to make a living playing blackjack. Jacob Riis, in his famous book about the underbelly of New York, How the Other Half Lives (1890), wrote of entering a Chinatown fan-tan parlor: "At the first foot-fall of leather soles on the steps the hum of talk ceases, and the group of celestials, crouching over their game of fan tan, stop playing and watch the comer with ugly looks. In other words, “cartomancy is indeed a language and is composed of two elements: a mechanism for the distribution of the cards, which generates sentences, and a vocabulary that explains the meaning of each card or idiomatic combination of cards” (Thibault, 2015, p. 3).
The “Revolutionnaires” deck of the French Revolution, also known as Jeu Prise de la Bastille, illustrates how ideology functions in popular culture. Gamblers playing roulette in America are going to have a slightly harder time winning. 사설바둑이사이트 In 2018 the university digitized over 100 of its decks.Since 2017, Vanderbilt University has been home to the 1,000-volume George Clulow and United States Playing Card Co. There are two other statues in the lateral naves: Saint Remy and a Virgin and Child (Our Lady of the Offering) by François Brochet. The side aisles have sculptures of reconstituted stone and Baccarat crystal representing the 14 Stations of the Cross.
The majority of modern machines have an LCD screen centered over the main start pocket. Casinos breed superstition and lore, with plenty of stories about techniques and tricks used by players and casino owners to somehow game the system in their favor.Winnings take the form of additional balls, which players may either use to keep playing or exchange for prizes (景品 keihin). The combine odds are 26:5 on the 2, 12, 11:5 on the 3, 11, and a push on the 7.
The most important video poker terms have been added to the table below. The apparent simplicity of blackjack makes it particularly popular – but it’s actually a complex game with hundreds of different ways to play it and chapters to be written on strategy.In either case, all single or multi-roll proposition bets may be placed in either of the two rounds. Example: First ball is 22. All numbers beginning or ending with a 2 is considered a called number.
After 1960 a few casinos in Europe, Australia, and Macau began offering craps and after 2004 online casinos extended its spread globally. It took forty-seven years before a second state, New Jersey, decided to allow casino gambling within its borders.If one wins (dies), the win is paid out to one’s relatives, and if one loses (survives the specified time), the wager (premium) is kept by the insurance company, which acts as a bookmaker and sets the odds (payout ratios) according to actuarial data. At any time during a betting round, if one player bets, no opponents choose to call (match) the bet, and all opponents instead fold, the hand ends immediately, the bettor is awarded the pot, no cards are required to be shown, and the next hand begins.
Come bets can only be made after a point has been established since, on the come-out roll, a Come bet would be the same thing as a pass line bet. But understand that regardless of how well you play, sometimes -- the majority of times, in fact -- the house edge is going to grind down your bankroll.They concentrate their investments on the “high rollers” (gamblers who spend much more than average). To defend against exploits like these, many casinos use tracking software, use wheels with new designs, rotate wheel heads, and randomly rotate pocket rings.

The Leopard by Sarah Horrocks
“Evil comes in all shapes and sizes but the only one I’ve ever seen was human”
Hi, I’m Jacob Shapiro and I run Fantom Comics in Washington, DC! I was asked to guest curate this page with comics from my personal collection that matter to me. My fifth post is on my favorite comics critic/horror artist Sarah Horrocks’ ongoing digital series The Leopard.
Tumblr media
The first time I ever heard of Sarah was through blog posts she wrote a few years ago about Brandon Graham’s work--I’m not entirely sure, but it might’ve been this piece called “How Not to Discuss Porn Comics,” defending erotica as a legitimate genre that requires its own set of tools to deconstruct, and delving into human sexuality in a blunt, honest way I’ve seen few writers do before.
Then I started following her on social media and she opened my eyes to a huge world of auteur indie Japanese and European comics I had never seen before, especially creeeeeepy horror books. Her writing introduced me to Kyoko Okazaki, who I wrote about on this site a couple days ago--but more than just filling my Tumblr with sweet art, Sarah occupies a unique space in the comics community.
She’s outspoken on Twitter, a radical progressive who often holds views contrary to a lot of other Liberal Comix People; she’s an advocate of separating art from artist, and thus defends a lot of angry old men like Frank Miller that comics Twitter likes to tear down, as long as the art holds up. I don’t always agree with her, but it’s refreshing to see Sarah’s perspective to give me new context on sociopolitical issues inside and outside the comics world.
Tumblr media
On top of this, Sarah co-hosts the Trash Twins podcast with friend and fellow weird subversive comic artist Katie Skelly where they mainly talk about 1970s Italian horror flicks. And she also livetweets sports a lot. It’s such a weird mix of passions and perspectives and it frustrates me that she doesn’t get the popular and critical praise she deserves.
And then we finally get to Horrocks’ art itself. She draws inspiration from all the artists she talks about and puts it together in an unsettling, obtuse mix of shaky lines and flat colors. Her comics are intensely violent and sexual, and often deal with the trans experience in a bare, heavy, unsentimental way that drives in the knife and never lets up.
Tumblr media
As I wrote about on Tuesday, Sarah blurs the line between analysis and art all the time, and also plays with conventions of what a comic can be. I remember reading her write somewhere that her comic Leviathan has a fashion mag-inspired photo collage cover because comic books shouldn’t feel boxed in to “look like comics”--Ron Wimberly who I wrote about on Monday often talks about this as well.
Sarah has put out tons of cool physical comics, and I tend to favor physical books, but maybe my favorite work of hers is The Leopard, a digital series she’s been posting to her Gumroad in chapters for the last couple years. I hesitate to call it a webcomic because even though it’s posted online only (for now, as far as I know), its format follows much more of the conventional comic book layouts than the short-form episodic nature I tend to associate with webcomics. But maybe I’m just pigeonholing what webcomics are? I have no idea. If Horrocks’ œuvre is anything to go by, that’s kind of the point.
Tumblr media
Anyway, as much as I love Sarah’s physical comics, her colors and her deep black inks are able to pop way more in this digital format, and The Leopard is able to play with textures and collaging in a way I haven’t seen her do in her other work. Part of this is likely that she’s still mostly self-publishing and doesn’t have the budget to print this work with the full fidelity it deserves on paper. Content-wise, The Leopard is emblematic of everything else she does, and is a great entry point for those interested. It still features her gorgeous hand-lettered text, which (like her inks) is messy and scrawly and feels like living, breathing, human expression.
I’d love to see all this stuff collected and published in print by Image Comics or some other major publisher at some point in the future, but Horrocks’ work is a little too weird and obtuse for a lot of mainstream audiences. And as Image has seen the recent downfall of Island magazine and the return to a more early-’00s-Vertigo aesthetic, it’s hard to see The Leopard or any of her other work put out and adequately marketed to the mainstream anytime soon. In another art form, Sarah Horrocks might be celebrated, but in comics she’ll probably have to flounder in obscurity. COMICS EVERYBODY
Sarah Horrocks lives in Oklahoma and can be found on Tumblr at @mercurialblonde. I’m on Tumblr at @aleneigen, and Fantom Comics is on Tumblr at @fantomcomics.

Top 10 Stunning Castles in Norway to Visit
Sverresborg Castle
Sverre Sigurdsson castle or Sverresborg was a residence and fort which was built in Nidaros, a medieval city built by King Sverre Sigurdsson. The fortification was erected to support the struggle of Sverre Sigurdsson against King Magnus Erlingsson to claim Norway’s throne.
Now the site is the part of an open-air museum, Sverresborg Trøndelag Folk Museum for the Trøndelag region. The location of Sverresborg and defense of the city of Trondheim was based on tree geographical features –
·       ·The city is positioned on the peninsula bordered on the south and east by River Nidelva and by Trondheimsfjord on the north.
·       Located precisely to the south, a glacially carved rock hill rules the city and offers well-fortified site.
·       The neck connecting the mainland and peninsula was a bit narrow and could be fortified with ease.
In the 1182-1183 fall, Sverre started construction of Sverresborg, i.e., one of the earliest fortresses in Norway, to provide more easily defended and secure base to operate and reside from.
The selected location was hard to approach, easily fortified and could be protected easily by a small force.
For the fortification, the stone used was available just 600m away in a quarry which has been used to build the Nidaros cathedral.
Since Archbishop of Nidaros, who had worked with King Magnus, was in exile from 1180 to 1183 in England and stonemasons were available too.
Along with being detached from his men, Sverre moved out to castle and work proceeded instantly in 1183 during Lent.
Egeberg Castle
Egeberg Castle was built by Halfdan Berle, a leading architect, in 1899-1901 for Einar Westeye Egeberg and Birgitte Halvordine.
Einar Westeye Egeberg owned one of the most prominent lumber companies of Oslo, Westye Egeberg & Co. There were seven children of Egeberg couple, and most of them grown up when the family finally shifted to the castle in the year 1901.
Egeberg Castle was the biggest private residence in Oslo at 1600 sq. m. over two floors and a section of the tower. After a century, the castle stood strongly tall around a big park and with an extraordinary view over the harbor and city.
The overall cost of construction was 12 million kronor in the year 1901. The castle was built with quality materials like soapstone and granite.
The architecture was a renaissance from Italy dominated by dignified forms. The ceilings of the interiors were made by stucco workers from Italy. The first floor of the castle had a smoking lounge, vestibule, hall, dining room, bathroom, and dressing rooms. The billiard room was also built in the tower while storage rooms were built in the basement. Mrs. Egeberg had ill health and was paralyzed partially.
A lift was installed at NOK 25000. An open Minerva car like the one of the royal family in Norway was owned for Mrs. Egeberg in 1912 to go on a drive with chauffeur, but she died in the year 1930.
Akershus Castle
Akershus Castle or Akershus Fortress is a medieval castle built for protection and to offer the royal home for Oslo, Norway. The castle has been used as a prison, military base and government offices. Exactly when the castle was built is still now known, but it was expected to be made by King Haakon V around the late 1290s.
Tønsberg has been replaced among the two most prominent castles in Norway in that period. It was built in response to the nobleman of Norway, Sarpsborg’s Earl Alv Erlingsson attacked Oslo earlier in 1287. After the attack, it became clear that the existing defenses of the city were not that effective, and a stronger defense was in need. In written sources, the castle is mentioned in 1300 for the first time in a King Haakon’s letter from him to a church-based in Oslo.
However, it is not cleared in the letter how far the castle’s construction had been going on by then. The fortress has seen all the sieges but survived, especially by Swedish forces, including ones by Charles XII in the year 1716.
Austrått
Austrått Manor or Austrått is a manor based in Ørland municipality of Trøndelag, Norway. Austrått has served as the residence for several noblemen, officials, and noblewomen since the 10th century who played an important role in the history of Norway.
Austrått can also be mentioned as Østeraat, Østråt, Austaat, Østeraad, and Austråt. As it is positioned today, the manor’s layout is attributed to Ove Bjelke, a chancellor for whom it was built around 1656. In 1916, the manor house was burned down, and it was restored in 1961.
Previously, the manor house belonged to a larger property, but it is now an independent land from the manor house. The state of Norway owns manor house, owned by Nordenfjeldske Kunstindustri museum, Trondheim. From June to August, the manor house is open for public.
The term “Austrått” is believed to be derived from old Norse terms used to define east direction which could be eastbound or the eastern property.
Fritzøehus
Fritzøehus is a manor house and private estate positioned in Larvik. The estate has been related to several Treschow family members traditionally. It was designed by Jacob Wilhelm Nordan and built-in 1863-1865 for Michael Treschow.
The manor house was stretched in the years 1885-89 and 1897-1898. It includes 75 rooms in total floor area with 21 basement rooms, so it has become the largest private residence in the country.
Located in Fritzøehus park, Fritzøehus is a designated conservation place built to preserve the expanded beech forests as well as unique landscape. There is also fir, walnut, and spruce trees in the park spread over 1700 acres. The park was built in the 1860s in the English style.
There is a water fountain in the courtyard and a bear’s sculpture by Anne Grimdalen. The park has a collection of mouflon and fallow deer in the Mediterranean.
Oscarshall
It is a Maison de Plaisance in Frognerkilen on Bygdoy, a small fjord in Oslo of Norway. The palace was built on 1852 by Johan Henrik Nebelong, a Danish architect on commission from Queen Joséphine and King Oscar I of Sweden and Norway. The castle was opened to the public as the museum by King Oscar II in 1881.
With surrounding park and secondary building, the palace is known to be among the best epitome of neo-Gothic style in Norway and is among the most prominent embodiments of the nation in National Romantic style, and it was known in Norway.
The interior was built and entirely designed by the artisans and artists belong to Norway. The dining hall’s walls are designed well with paintings by Adolph Tidemand and Joachim Frich, and the furniture and decoration in the drawing-room showcase the styles of old Guildhall in Norway.
Oscarshall has gone through complete restoration and renovation from 2005 to 2009 and has brought furniture and colors back to the previous style since 1859. Oscarshall was open to the public after renovation.
During summers, the palace is finally open for guided tours. The Queen Josephine Gallery was opened by Queen Sonja in 2013 on the Oscarshall grounds. The featured prints and graphic prints are exhibited in the gallery by Her Majesty during the first season.
Gamlehaugen
Gamlehaugen is a mansion located in Bergen and residential home of Norwegian Royal Family. It has history dated far back to the Middle Ages, and the list of last owners includes most of the richest men in Bergen.
The Norwegian state has owned the castle today, and Christian Michelsen is the latest private owner and a shipping and politician magnate who became the first PM of Norway after the closure of union between Norway and Sweden. Michelsen started building this building where he lived the rest of his life in Gamlehaugen.
In 1925, Michelsen died, and his closest colleagues and friends started fund-raising on a national level which brought enough amount of money to enable a state to own the property.
English park was also opened the same year to the public and ground floor of the house was opened two years later as a museum. It has been the residence of the Norwegian Royal Family in Bergen since the year 1927.
The red building stable is located next to the road. Originally it was located around the house of caretaker demolished in 1986 when the rock was blasted right away and made space for the main street’s widening. There is an unused root cellar located west of the stable.
On the other side of the compound, there is a greenhouse built further west and is being used by janitorial crew these days.
A larger greenhouse may have existed when the greenhouse is small at some point during the moment when Michelsen ruled Gamlehaugen.

Båhus Fortress
Located along the earlier Norwegian-Swedish border, Bohus Fortress can be accessed northeast from Hisingen where Gota River is split into two different branches.
The river forms a moat naturally around it at the nearby area from a 40m high cliff. The Bohus Fortress started to be built in 1308 under the King of Norway, Haakon V Magnuson during the years 1299 to 1319.
The construction of Norwegian castles was also begun by Hakon V at Akershus and Vardøhus from a comprehensive defensive policy. When Bohuslan was the territory of Norway and served as a significant defense for Norway against Sweden, it was the strong part of Bohuslan from 1308 till 1658.
It was decided that the unused fortress must be demolished at the end of the 18th century.
The crews started demolishing the fort for two months when money allocated had run out. And the houses were built by the residents of Kungalv using fortress’s dressed stone. But you can still see most of the fortress, along with a huge northern tower named Fars Hatt.
The fortress serves as a museum since 2015 and is open during summers.
Steinvikholm Castle
Located on Skatval peninsula, Steinvikholm Castle is one of the best castles in Norway. It is an island fortress located on Skatval peninsula in Nord-Trøndelag County near Stjørdal. It took seven years to build, i.e., from 1525 to 1532, by the last Roman Catholic Archbishop of Norway, Olav Engelbrektsson.
It was the powerful fort of its time and the largest in the Middle Age in Norway.
Around half of the land has been occupied on the hilly island. Since the reason doesn’t have spring, the freshwater was available only on the mainland.
There was a wooden bridge, the only way to the island along with the boat. Even though the design of the castle was common in 1525 across Europe, the medieval layout of the castle was being obsolete due to the enhanced firepower of the siege from the cannons and gunpowder.
Tønsberg Fortress
Tønsberg fortress was a medieval castle and fortress in Tønsberg, which was protected for more than 300 years by the fort. It consists of Castrum Tunsbergis ruins, the largest castle in Norway in the 13th century, built by King Sverre’s grandson, King Hakon IV.
It is usually known to have been the oldest town in Norway and one of the oldest fortified locations recorded in the country. It was believed to be founded before Battle of Hafrsfjord fought under which Norway was united on the rule of Harald I of Norway.

Long-distance passenger trains in the US are operated by Amtrak. The organisation has made an operating loss every year since it was set up in 1971 though last year the deficit shrank to $227m, the lowest since 1973. The presidents so-called skinny budget for 2018 terminates Federal support for Amtraks long-distance train services, which have long been inefficient and incur the vast majority of Amtraks operating losses. The White House document, entitled America First: A Budget Blueprint to Make America Great Again, says the move would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its State-supported and Northeast Corridor train services. Individual states such as California and Texas subsidise some services, while the line from Washington DC via Philadelphia and New York to Boston is profitable. But public transport campaigners are dismayed by President Trumps plan to end subsidies for long-distance trains in America. Richard White, President and CEO of the American Public Transportation Association, said: The American economy and communities of all sizes would be losers." His association says that recent polls showed three out of four Americans support increased public transportation investment. Additionally, a November election poll found that 81 percent of Americans who voted for Donald Trump oppose any cuts to the current levels of public transportation investment, said Mr White.

It would mean the only public transport from coast to coast will be flying, or three days and nights on a bus.

Adelaide are coming off just their fourth victory of the season, a 2-1 home win over Brisbane Roar with the winner coming deep into added time via the penalty spot.
