I bought a new phunnel bowl today to replace my covered bowl, but my girlfriend is concerned about the lack of a cover and the risk of the hookah being knocked over. Is there any way to cover a phunnel bowl to keep the coal inside?

I think the cartoon involved a little girl and her grandmother going on adventures and somehow riding giant slices of orange. There may have been a koala involved as a sidekick.

I very vaguely remember watching this cartoon at my grandmother's house when I was young. I think I would have watched it in the late 80s or early 90s, but it could have been an older cartoon. The real kicker is that I'm not actually sure it ever existed and that it could be some really weird memories that blended together.

I've seen a number of people talk about Mance Rayder's combat prowess and put him alongside the likes of Jaime Lannister, Barristan Selmy, the brothers Clegane, Bronn and even Arthur Dayne.

I cannot find supporting evidence of these claims in the text. I've been searching through ASOS trying to find lines claiming him as a great warrior and I come up empty handed.

Note that I say "great warrior" and by this I specifically mean armed combat. I'm not referring to his abilities as a commander, strategist or tactician. I speak purely about his ability to go toe-to-toe with his foes.

I did find a few relevant quotes regarding his combat skill.

When Jon first meets Mance, Tormund Giantsbane (a

I've always been a bit bothered by the assumption on this subreddit that Coldhands died long ago. It all comes down to these lines:

Bran shivered again. “The ranger …”

“He cannot come.”

“They’ll kill him.”

“No. They killed him long ago. Come now. It is warmer down deep, and no one will hurt you there. He is waiting for you.”

I always took these lines a bit differently. I didn't take them to mean that Coldhands has been dead for a long time by the standards of the Children of the Forest, but that Bran need not worry about saving Coldhands, because he's already dead.

Does anyone else think that the context of these lines is more important than just the phrase "They killed

A thought crossed my mind regarding Coldhands. This could be completely wrong and disproved with one good reference, but I can't think of anything that solidly says this is wrong. So here goes...

Coldhands is Benjen Stark's corpse, controlled by Bloodraven

We know Coldhands is some kind of being that exists north of the wall, and he is almost certainly undead. His hands and feet are black from congealed blood, but he still moves about. One thought is that he is Benjen Stark, but a quote from the Children of the Forest makes that sound unlikely. The quote says that Coldhands has been dead for a long time.

My theory is that Coldhands is Benjen Stark, but merely the shell of him. Benje

While IFA is aimed to be a global act, gaining traction in the United States is a very important step in reaching the stated goal. As far as I am aware, the only way to turn a bill into a law is to have a member of either the Senate or the House of Representatives sponsor the bill.

Who are our candidates for this? Some of the more obvious thoughts:

Ron Wyden stood against SOPA/PIPA from the start and has even tried to press President Obama on why ACTA is considered an executive agreement when it steps outside the realm of executive authority.

Jared Polis came to success as an internet entrepreneur and spoke out against SOPA at a relatively early stage.

Darrell Issa was also a
