The Legend of Korra - (7) The Aftermath
Recent relevant characters:
- Lin Beifong - Agreed to take responsibility for the security of the pro-bending championship match. Recent badass, but what will that slimy Tarrlok say after the fiasco with Amon?
- Tenzin - Lately found out to have been romantically involved with Lin Beifong in the past before their differences separated them and he marries Pema.
- The Wolfbats - Winners of the pro-bending tournament by cheating, but Amon took away all their bending powers. Karma, baby.
- Aang - The protagonist, hero, and avatar of the previous series Avatar: The Last Airbender.
- Avatar - A special individual said to embody the world's spirit who possesses the ability to use all four forms of bending at the same time. Only one living person can exist as the avatar each time, and they are said to bring peace and unity to the world.
- Bending - The ability to control and manipulate one of the four elements of the world (earth, fire, wind, water). Each style of bending is mastered through their respective form of martial arts, in which they are based off of real world archetypes.
- Earthbending - Hung Gar
- Metalbending - Chu Gar Southern Praying Mantis, Military/SWAT close-range techniques
- Firebending - Northern Shaolin/Wushu
- Lightning - Northern Shaolin form #2 ("Dragon Shoots Its Whiskers")
- Airbending - Baguazhang
- Waterbending - Tai Chi
- Pro-bending - Boxing/MMA/UFC
- Earthbending - Hung Gar
- Equalists - A rising anti-bending movement in Republic City led by Amon. They claim benders oppress non-benders and spread the message that bending must be eliminated. They resort to clandestine and violent methods to achieve their means. The Equalists use the Chinese character 平, which can mean peace, on the same level, or equal.
- Pro-bending - A popular sport pitting 3-man teams (each a different type of bender not including air) to use strategic bending to ring-out (KO) or push their opponents as far back in marked territories as possible.
- Republic City - A large metropolis founded by Aang and Zuko where they intended benders and non-benders to co-exist in peace. Designs were based off of 1920s Shanghai with elements of steampunk.
Discuss away! Korra is the hot new show and I'll be holding weekly threads for each new episode that comes out. New episodes air every Saturday (just like ponies!) at 11/10am Central on Nickelodeon, so as usual we'll have our house rules on spoiler moratorium (do not spoil in IRC at least until the midnight of the broadcast date in Pacific time). Any speculation on future/upcoming episodes should have the spoiler tag applied. This goes for any info revealed in commercials, sneak previews that did not air along with the end of the latest episode, and articles of any sort. Information on voice actors/actresses being announced for the show do not need to be spoiler tagged. HOWEVER, you SHOULD spoiler tag any information regarding what character role they will be playing. Threads on new episode threads will most likely be made sometime every Friday.
Shipping rules still apply even if this show's target audience is older than MLP. I know romance is bound to happen, and you can totally talk about it, but please do not talk about your OTP with characters not in the show, engage in shipping wars even if it's with characters in-universe, and especially any creepy comments about how you'd like to get with any of the characters. Best to err on the safe side if you have doubts.
Do not ask/talk about how to illegally obtain episodes for this show. My advice is for you to simply get cable at home to watch it or stream it from the Nickelodeon site right here. It's looking like Nick takes 3 days before they upload it on their site, so those depending on the stream should expect it up every Tuesday (not sure how early).

The Plumas County Board of Supervisors met in its second-to-the-last meeting of the year Dec. 11 and approved a number of requests from various departments.
The supervisors OK'd filling three vacant positions in social services, and hiring a full-time public works employee in La Porte and a half-time employee for the county library in Quincy.
The board also approved a number of budget transfers for various departments.
Move delayed
Plumas County Probation Department employees packed their boxes last month and prepared to move into their new location at the courthouse annex, only to discover that some of their new office space was already occupied.
As a cost-cutting measure, the Board of Supervisors had asked the department during budget hearings to move from its East Quincy building to space in the annex previously used by alcohol and drug.
When alcohol and drug dissolved, it vacated an entire wing in the annex. The California Department of Fish and Game leased some of the space for its employees, who are occupying five of the offices until Jan. 31.
Now probation doesn't plan to move until March, and the delay resulted in added utility costs for the department.
Chief Probation Officer Sharon Reinert asked the supervisors to give her department $5,862 from the general fund to pay for propane and electricity.
The board voted to give the department the funds, but Supervisor Sherrie Thrall asked that the supervisors be given a running total for the contingency fund balance so that they know how much remains.
Board Chairman Robert Meacher said that the county administrative officer used to keep a running total, but with no one in that position, the task hasn't been done.
Clerk to the Board Nancy DaForno said that she would contact the county auditor prior to each meeting so that the supervisors could have the information.
Inmate medical services
Plumas County renewed its contract with North Fork Family Medicine in Quincy to provide medical services to jail inmates.
The $124,468 contract requires North Fork to provide medical services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The physicians provide on-call service as well as weekly site visits.
Airport improvements
The supervisors approved a contract with Wilburn Construction to install obstruction warning lights as well as obstruction removal at Gansner Airfield in Quincy.
Wilburn provided the low bid of $103,826. The only other bid came from Par Electrical of Reno for $120,800.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the Division of Aeronautics also approved the contract.
Settling disputes
The public works department received approval to hire companies to survey property in Crescent Mills and Quincy.
During an interview prior to the board meeting, Public Works Director Bob Perreault said neighbor disputes prompted the work, but it is necessary to "clean up" rights of way.
In Crescent Mills, the work is a holdover from when Caltrans constructed the new parts of Highway 70/89 through town. Portions of the old state highway became county property, but a survey was not completed to clearly define street rights of way and easements.
"Two landowners keep complaining about each other's driveways," Perreault said. The survey will allow the county to properly divide the areas in dispute.
"Nobody will lose access," Perreault said, and added that the property owners will actually receive more land.
The second area to be surveyed is Baker Way in Quincy.
"This is an issue of prescriptive easement," Perreault said. The narrow street was never officially given to the county as part of a subdivision, but "over a period of years and usage, the county acquires rights to maintain it."
It's a challenge for snow removal and garbage pickup, but the survey will not remedy those issues.
Instead it should put an end to a dispute between two neighbors about where items — including cement blocks — may be legally positioned.
"This will legally define who will control the area," Perreault said.

Battle of the Drill
Comments29this wiki
- This article is about the battle fought in the Earth Kingdom. For the Fire Nation weapon, see the Fire Nation drill.
"This drill is a feat of scientific ingenuity and raw destructive power. Once it tunnels through the wall, our troops will storm their city. The Earth Kingdom will finally fall and you can claim Ba Sing Se in the name of your father." |

History Edit
Since the beginning of the War, the Fire Nation had searched for a way to conquer the capital of the Earth Kingdom, Ba Sing Se; however, all previous attempts had failed.[2] The country hoped that, by conquering the city, the Earth Kingdom would be severely crippled once the Council of Five and the Earth King were taken out of power. A successful subjugation also meant conquering the last safe place for refugees displaced by the War. Late in the War, the Fire Nation forced a refugee and Earth Kingdom mechanist to make weapons, including the drill, to aid them in battles by threatening to burn his home if he refused.[3]
The mechanist successfully designed the drill, a gigantic mechanism that was nearly impossible to destroy and could breach the walls of Ba Sing Se with ease. The Fire Nation hoped that by breaching the walls, they would be able to set a path for their army to advance and finally conquer the great city.[1]
Battle Edit
After completion, the drill and a small force of tundra tanks headed toward the great city to break in. The force arrived at the exact time as Team Avatar spotted the device.[4]
Ba Sing Se's army was unprepared due to never having fought a major battle in years, and their only means of defense was throwing boulders at the drill, which had little success. General Sung, who commanded the troops on the Outer Wall, did not see the drill as a real threat and was confident that the Terra Team, a group of elite earthbenders would stop the colossal machine. Despite their best efforts, they were no match for Ty Lee and Mai, who promptly ambushed the soldiers. Utilizing chi blocking, Ty Lee disabled the entire team within mere moments. With the Terra Team helpless, Sung panicked and pleaded with Team Avatar for help despite his earlier thoughts of not needing it at all.
Team Avatar came up with a plan of hitting the drill's pressure points as Ty Lee had done to defeat the Terra Team. Aang, Katara, and Sokka infiltrated the drill while Toph tried vainly to slow it down from the outside because she had not learned to metalbend yet, and thus could not 'see' inside the drill. Having stolen a schematic from a drill worker, the group headed for the outer-most part of the drill where massive metal braces held the entire mechanism together. Aang and Katara began cutting completely through the braces using waterbending, but found the process was too slow to successfully disable the drill before the it broke through the wall. Aang stated that they did not need to cut through the braces completely and that just halfway through would be sufficient. Following this, he could deliver a final blow from the exterior that would destroy the weakened braces. Meanwhile, the crew found the drill worker that Katara had frozen earlier, prompting Azula to investigate the situation along with Mai and Ty Lee. The gang fled as they could not fight and cut through the braces at the same time.
Aang eventually separated from Sokka and Katara to deliver the final blow on top of the drill. Katara and Sokka managed to escape the machine by riding the slurry, a mixture of water and earth used to deposit the rock from the wall. Ty Lee followed them into the pipe, but Mai did not, stating "Azula can shoot all the lightning she wants at me, I'm not going in that wall sludge juice." Because the slurry was water and earth combined, both Katara and Toph were able to bend it from the outside and build up more pressure for when the final blow was delivered. Ty Lee became trapped in the slurry since Katara and Toph were bending it back into the inside of the drill.
Meanwhile, Aang dodged falling boulders from Sung's men as the general thought that this would be an effective measure, even though it clearly was not. He also fended off Azula as he cut a hole into the metal exterior using waterbending. Initially, Azula maintained the upper hand, dodging all of Aang's attacks, be it earthbending, waterbending, or airbending. Eventually, she launched a massive fire blast that knocked Aang unconscious. As she prepared to deliver the fatal blow, Aang recovered and fought her off with earthbending. After removing her from the fight, Aang resumed destruction of the drill. Aang used a boulder to his advantage and made a wedge shape which he shoved into the indent he made earlier. He then used airbending to speed-run steep down the Outer Wall, gaining momentum for the final blow. Azula launched a last-ditch attack to save the drill, but this failed and Aang landed on the wedge with huge force, sending Azula flying off the drill.
Aang's powerful attack caused the weakened braces to break apart simultaneously, and the drill to collapsed into a slurry mess, its pipelines exploding as the vehicle caved in. This caused the entire area to be flooded in slurry, and it buried a large number of the Fire Nation troops escorting the vehicle or working within. Ty Lee was ejected from the slurry system, but was largely unharmed. Azula also managed to escape injury. In the wreckage, a pristine and nonchalant Mai humbly said, "We lost."[1]
Aftermath Edit
The Battle of the Drill was a victory for the Earth Kingdom, and once again stopped the Fire Nation from penetrating the Outer Wall. They were forced to return to the shores to await another opportunity to strike.[1] This victory was short-lived, as Azula would return to conquer Ba Sing Se only weeks later.[5]
The drill wreckage was not immediately disposed of, though some ramps could later be seen as part of a clean-up effort; however, this proved to be a major asset for Team Avatar, as they used the drill as proof of the ongoing war to Earth King Kuei, who had been kept unaware of it by Long Feng. He tried to convince the king that it was "a construction project", but the king was not convinced because the drill bore the Fire Nation insignia, resulting in Long Feng's arrest. Kuei subsequently began to take more decisive action against the Fire Nation in the days prior to the city's capture.[5]

Trivia Edit
- The video game, Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Burning Earth, does not follow canon for this episode, as the bosses are Zuko and Azula against Aang and Katara. The battle takes place on a metal platform.
- Another interesting thing to note is that this takes the place of the Coup of Ba Sing Se, as this is the final level in the game.

Sue Purvis is the nation's first on-campus patent officer. She has been working at the newly founded Manhattan campus of CornellNYC Tech since October as the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's "innovation and outreach coordinator," advising innovators on campus and elsewhere in New York City.
Purvis has worked for the PTO for 14 years, first as a patent examiner and more recently as an advisor to Deputy Under Secretary Teresa Stanek Rea. PTO Director David Kappos, who announced yesterday he will be stepping down in January, said at a news conference in October that by stationing a patent officer at a major graduate research institution, "the USPTO will tear down the walls between university research and the federal support that has the power to help move that research from the lab to the marketplace."
CorpCounsel.com asked Purvis about her job and what she hopes to accomplish for the present and future of intellectual property in the business world. Below is an edited version of that exchange.
CorpCounsel: What does your job at CornellNYC Tech entail?
Sue Purvis: In my capacity at Cornell, I am able to share my knowledge of the full breadth of federal resources and programs that are available to support innovators and entrepreneurs. My assistance includes educating innovators and entrepreneurs on how to secure patent protection anddepending on their needassist them in finding new markets for export.
My responsibilities also include introducing innovation and intellectual property topics into the classroom at all levels; working with local incubators and economic development commissions to help establish new programs that will accelerate the transfer of technologies and companies growth; hosting symposiums on campus and across the New York City region to highlight trending issues in technology and innovation; working with local schools to develop STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics] materials to promote IP and technology curricula in classrooms; and working on new pilot programs that can accelerate the commercialization of technology based off lessons learned from student and business interaction.
In addition to connecting Cornell University students with the PTO and the U.S. Department of Commerce, I am also working directly with local government officials, intellectual property groups, and constituents in the region.
CC: Why is your office part of CornellNYC Tech? Had any inventions or innovations that came out of the school gone through the patent process before your arrival on campus?
SP: The Cornell partnership was born out of the university administrations commitment to helping entrepreneurs and businesses compete and win in the global marketplace. The programs goal is to encourage small businesses in the New York City community to innovate, and to connect the community directly to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the Department of Commerce more generally.
This Cornell partnership is not the same as a satellite office. However, when the PTO was exploring locations for the satellite offices authorized by the America Invents Act, we found that communities across the country were excited about having the PTO open an office in their city. Therefore, we decided that we should explore other alternatives to a satellite office, and that is what we are doing here. CornellNYC Techa first-of-its-kind graduate-level research campusis a perfect fit.
Since Cornell NYC Tech is a new university, with the first class of students starting in January 2013, inventions or innovations have not yet come out of the campus.
CC: Why was NYC chosen? Is the city considered a hub for major innovation along the lines of Silicon Valley?
SP: This first-of-its kind Memorandum of Agreement was signed directly with Cornell based on discussions that occurred between Cornell President David Skorton and Department of Commerce officials. This partnership represents a unique opportunity to accelerate and amplify the technology-focused work that the university has undertaken at Cornell NYC Tech.
However, this is intended to benefit the entire NYC region. We can see in patent applications and issuances that New York City is a thriving region for innovation, particularly among independent inventors, start-ups, and entrepreneurs. This project will give Cornells students and innovators all across the area direct access to resources that will help them bring their ideas to market and grow their businesses.
CC: Are you working primarily with students and professors on campus?
SP: I am here to connect the broad array of the Commerce Departments innovation and commercialization resources and tools with students, small businesses, and the independent inventor communities in the greater New York City area. I am also able to offer extensive intellectual property education and support services to students, innovators, and the public.
CC: What kind of advice do you give people? Is it mostly about process?
SP: My responsibility is to educate people on the resources offered by the Department of Commerce and the federal government, and to shed as much light on the patent application process as I can.
If an inventor is looking to file a patent application, I recommend they hire an attorney, or I refer them to a program that can assist them if they cannot afford an attorney. The patent process can be very complicated, and an attorney can help an inventor get the most complete protection possible for their invention. Inventors who choose to initiate the patent application themselves should get educated on the process so they know what to expect.
CC: Have any applications been filed at the PTO by people you have worked with since starting in this position?
SP: I have talked with several inventors who have pending applications, and I have spoken with individuals who are eager to file applications. I have not yet heard of somebody filing an application, but were early on in the process. Should they file applications, they will not file them with me, but with the PTO directly.
CC: What is it that people ask you about most?
SP: People are very interested in intellectual property, so I mostly get asked about patents and trademarks.
CC: Can you give an example of a meeting that has taken placewhat an individual or company came to ask you about and what you told them?
SP: I spoke with two individuals, who have a startup company in New York, about their pending patent applications. As a former examiner, I was able to give them insight on the patent approval process. Additionally, I was able to educate them on different options the office has to accelerate the prosecution of patent applications, including Track One and the First Action Interview Pilot.
CC: Are you teaching any classes or serving as a guest lecturer in any courses?
SP: I taught a class about the Fundamentals of Intellectual Property for Entrepreneurs at the New York Institute of Technology, and I have a talk scheduled at Fordham Law School at the end of [November]. I hope to schedule more talks soon. The talks are part of efforts to facilitate an open dialogue about the state of intellectual property protection in the 21st century.
CC: Is this your first time living in New York?
SP: I have always thought it would be great to live in New York, but my job kept me in Washington D.C. Its great to have the opportunity to continue working for the PTO and now live in New York. And what better way to do it than to be a resource for inventors and entrepreneurs in this thriving city?

Far East Movement's (FM) Kevin Nishimura, also known as Kev Nish, said it best last Sunday, September 6, at the JCPenney presents International Secret Agents Concert in Cerritos, Calif.: "This [concert] is about following your dreams and following your dreams to represent a community, our community."
Already in its third year, the International Secret Agents (ISA) concert has become a gateway to building and making dreams come true for many hopeful Asian American artists. The show was a successful collaboration created by two visionary artist groups — Wong Fu Productions and Far East Movement — that truly illustrated the potential of many rising Asian American musicians, singers, filmmakers, comedians and dancers. This year's ISA hosted not one, but two concerts — in New York and L.A.
This was my first time attending one of the ISA concerts and let me tell you, the night was full of such great energy! It was truly a night dedicated to putting Asian American faces and personalities on stage.
Luckily, although I was running a bit late (as usual … horrible!), I got a chance to catch up with both the creators of ISA.
"ISA will bring the fans what they want, and allow these artists to extend their reach beyond their regular fan bases. This year is going to be historic," said FM member James "Prohgress" Roh.
Wesley Chan, Ted Fu and Philip Wang of filmmaking group Wong Fu Productions also shared the same sentiment. Started in 2003 by Chan, Fu and Wang at UC San Diego, Wong Fu Productions has become an Internet sensation with 30 million viewers on their YouTube channel.
"The internet is how we were able to reach our fans on a global scale," said Wang. "With ISA concerts, our fans get to meet us and the artists that we work with on a more personal local level. And to have ISA in both L.A. and New York is going to be amazing. The last three sold-out shows were all in California and fans were asking us to bring ISA to the East Coast. That's why we decided to bring it to New York City — because the fans demanded it."
This year's glamorous event was nothing but a success, with famous YouTube stars Ryan Higa and Kevin Wu hosting the event along with dance starlet Lydia Paek of Quest Dance Crew … all sporting fall fashions from JCPenney!
Kevin Wu, more popularly known as KevJumba on YouTube, said the cast had just gotten back from New York. He explained that although they were tired, they were ready to start ISA LA with lots of energy and high-spirits. Wu had said that ISA LA had given the artists a chance to reunite again and see their friends one more time. "It's like a reunion and it's been nothing but great," said Wu.
To his viewers' delight, Wu has even more exciting news as he and his father have been announced as the new contestants on CBS's The Amazing Race. He said he is nervous but excited for the show.
The line-up included the darling AJ Raphael (singer/songwriter with 200,000 YouTube subscribers), bohemian princess Alyssa Bernal (Interscope recording artist with 300,000 YouTube subscribers), and America's Best Dance Crew Season 5 champs Poreotics. Surprise guests included my fellow anteater and YouTube queen Jennifer Chung who was spotted in the audience, the ever-funny man Danny Cho, dreamy YouTube singer David Choi, Andrew Garcia, America's Best Dance Crew Season 3 champions Quest Crew, and even Nick Cannon! (Since when did he become Asian?)
But perhaps the two most anticipated performers of the night was none other than FM and South Korea's former 2PM music band member Jay Park (Park Jay Beom).
This was Park's first live performance since leaving the Korean stage. He will be debuting his new album on September 24. His performance was different from his pop 2PM days as his single, "Demon," is a powerful song full of poised beat and rhythm. FM's "Girls on the Dance Floor" just debuted as the #12 most purchased on iTunes Chart. As they hip-hopped their way to the stage wearing their signature sunglasses of funk, "Fly Like a G6" bumped up in the speakers, and all the young girls had rushed to the stage in an instant.
Perhaps, one of the luckiest girls of the night was Ted Fu's girlfriend … or should we say fiancé. At the ISA New York concert, Fu had announced his engagement to girlfriend Katie of two and a half years and Wong Fu definitely played up Ted's proposal throughout the L.A. concert, even showing off a hilarious last-minute new short vying to be Ted's best man.
Overall, I was amazed by the power and passion of these artists and moreover, their message. It was inspiring to see such a show dedicated to the appreciation and cultivation of our Asian heritage and cultural roots. FM's Kev Nish said that it was "important to stay in touch with your community and it was important to have fun while doing it." They were proud to have worked with Wong Fu Productions and are extremely humbled by the growth of ISA over the last three years. Hopefully with the growth of ISA, Americans can continue to support the evolution of Asian Americans in media and film. As Nish said, "No longer are Asian American artists going to be labeled as Asian American artists, but as simply artists who produce good quality music."
And the event proved just that, straight from the hearts of artists pursuing their dreams.

White House: Israel has right to defend itself in Mideast conflict
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — The White House on Saturday defended Israel's right to defend itself against attack and decide how to respond to rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, blaming the ruling Islamic militant Hamas group for starting the conflict.
Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are in agreement that a de-escalation of the violence is preferred, provided that Hamas stops sending rocket into Israel, deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters during the president's flight on Air Force One to Asia.
Israel launched the offensive on Wednesday by assassinating Hamas' military commander, but Rhodes said the U.S. believes "the precipitating factor for the conflict was the rocket fire coming out of Gaza. We believe Israel has a right to defend itself, and they'll make their own decisions about the tactics they use in that regard."
He added, "These rockets have been fired into Israeli civilian areas and territory for some time now. So Israelis have endured far too much of a threat from these rockets for far too long, and that is what led the Israelis to take the action that they did in Gaza."
The Israeli government has called up thousands of reservists and massed troops, tanks and other armored vehicles along the border with Gaza, signaling a ground invasion could be imminent.
Obama has spoken with President Mohammed Morsi of Egypt and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey about the situation.
"They have the ability to play a constructive role in engaging Hamas and encouraging a process of de-escalation," Rhodes said.
Israel on Saturday hit Gaza with nearly 200 airstrikes, expanding an aerial assault to include the prime minister's headquarters, a police compound and a vast network of smuggling tunnels.
"We wouldn't comment on specific targeting choices by the Israelis other than to say that we of course always underscore the importance of avoiding civilian casualties," Rhodes said. "But the Israelis again will make judgments about their military operations."
Forty-two Palestinians, including 13 civilians, and three Israelis have been killed in this past week's fighting.

text: I have put up a set of ads advertising travel in Nepal. I added a number of keywords that have to do with various things you can do in Nepal as well as famous things to see there. I also added all of the negative keywords that I thought may interfere with the search, but there aren't many (eg. if I put Annapurna Trek as a keyword, there aren't many negative keywords that would be needed). Still, my CTR is below 1%. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks a lot!

Somehow my mom and her friend got reservations at Topolobampo this past weekend. They had dinner at Frontera Grill one night and ate at the bar. Apparently they made friends with their bartender and he was able to get them a reservation at Topolobampo for the following evening. I got lucky and was invited along to eat with them!!!
This was my first time eating at Topolo and I was very impressed. A more upscale, fine-dining Bayless restaurant and it showed in the dishes. I always settled for Frontera because I didn't see the point in paying the price to eat on the fancy side of the restaurant, but now I understand and will claim that it's totally worth it!
They offer either an a la carte menu or a tasting menu that can be paired with wines if you choose to. We went with the a la carte menu because the tastings offer a 5-course meal and we didn't think we could eat that much. Although the portions are perfectly sized, our 2 course meals were just right. We were pleasantly full and just comfortable, even after becoming members of the clean plate club!
I ordered the soup for my first course because it sounded DELICIOUS!
Gazpacho of local tomatoes and sour cherries with smoked almond raspado (shaved ice), creamy goat cheese, heirloom cherry tomatoes and pickled sour cherries.
My mom was intrigued by the trio of eggplant on the menu. She let me have a taste and it was very tasty.
Crunchy, Iroquois cornmeal-coated Black Beauty eggplant with three flavors: spicy, smoky salsa negra, velvety black bean sauce, creamy Otter Creek cheddar. Tender chayote with parsley, poached Chioggia beets, sherry-pickled plums, roasted knob onions, wild arugula.
Mom's friend ordered the fish, which is always a good choice at a Rick Bayless restaurant. I've had the Frontera Grill version of this dish and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Chamomile-poached day-boat catch in creamy sauce of squash blossoms and roasted poblano chile. Hoja santa-scented black lentils, slow-cooked quince, brown butter-roasted red Kuri squash, cilantro micros.
And the pièce de résistance - the dish I ordered. :) I'll preface it with just one word: PORK.
Maple Creek pork (shoulder and belly), slow-cooked carnitas style with black garlic, served in gausmole (roasted tomatillos, toasted guaje seeds, herbs). Sweet corn bread pudding, Nichols Farm leeks braised with chanterelle mushrooms and avocado leaf.
The shoulder was super juicy and shredded with the touch of my fork. The belly was divine. It was so tender and flavorful. The sauce was my favorite part. It was a bit smoky from the roasted tomatillos, but didn't over power the taste of the pork duo.
If you read my blog, you know I'm a HUGE fan of Rick Bayless - especially Frontera Grill. But if you're in the mood for a fancy gourmet Mexican meal, try Topolobampo because you will savor every last bite you take.

Classical music
In August, Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart landed himself a pretty sweet second job — as principal conductor for the BBC Concert Orchestra. Lockhart has said he's excited to be working with the British orchestra, which embarked on its first tour of the U.S. this fall. The 56-member orchestra, which provides the music for many of the BBC's nature programs, is known as a fun-loving, versatile troupe that's at ease playing everything from classical and jazz to pop and film scores. The orchestra, along with piano soloist Ilya Yakushev, will perform pieces by Balakierev (Overture on Three Russian Folk Songs), Prokofiev (Classical Symphony No. 1 in D major, Op. 25), Stravinsky ("Firebird Suite — 1919 version") and Rachmaninoff (Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18) when they perform this week at Proctors. 8 p.m. Friday. $20-$75. Proctors, 432 State St., Schenectady. 346-6204; http://www.proctors.org

Excellent Gairers, Awkward Fit
By Neoshade
from Boston, MA
Best Uses
These are great gaitors. They're light enough for alpine climbing and effective in deep snow. The only problem that I have with them is fit. I'm 6' tall, 170lbs and size 11-1/2 (44 EU) boots.The bottom of the gaiter doesn't reach the front lace on my hiking boots, it's just too tight. And the top of the gaitor doesn't tighten all the way around my calf, it's too loose at its tightest setting.I can hook them on another lace, and they don't fall down, and they're otherwise a great product.

The likely cost of a Montana-only greenhouse gas program to consumers and businesses -- $3.0 billion -- can be divided by the number of households in the state to reveal the cost per household of a typical greenhouse gas program. The actual costs would vary depending on choices made by policymakers. There were 0.4 million households in Montana in 2000, so the cost per household could be $8,098.

Cream cheese icing recipe
This creamy cheese icing is great on banana bread or muffins and carrot cake. It tastes great when teamed with a sprinkle of walnuts.
Banana, Cake stall, Cakes & Baking, Cupcakes, Easy recipes, Kids cooking, Muffins, Birthday cakes
- 250g Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup castor sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 4 tbsp double cream
In a mixing bowl add the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.
Mix with an electric mixer until light and fluffy and the sugar has thoroughly dissolved.
Add in the cream and mix until just combined.
- Using Philadephia brand is the key to this recipe. I have used other brands but it just doesn't work.
- To make sure the sugar is all dissolved, you can rub some of the mix between your fingers. If it's grainy, keep mixing.
- You can soften the cream cheesewith a 30 second stint in the microwave. Make sure you use a full fat block of cheese and not a low-fat tub type.
- Add the cream in until you get the consistency you require. You may not want all of the cream but it does make the icing puff up a little.
- This recipe was created by Jennifer Cheung for Kidspot, Australia's best recipe finder

May 23, 2013 – BRYAN, Texas – Bryan firefighters helped suppress almost 100 wildfires during the record-breaking 2011 fire season, prompting the chief to ensure his department is trained and prepared for the next big blaze.
The Bryan Fire Department joined forces with Texas A&M Forest Service in late 2012 and spent months identifying wildfire risks and strategies to reduce those risks. The resulting product is the department's Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP), a national model for hazard mitigation.
But Bryan Fire Chief Randy McGregor said it was important for his department to expand on the typical CWPP template. The chief felt compelled, he said, to make sure his firefighters were equip...more >>

Providing a stop over area for migrating waterfowl, Rice Lake and the surrounding areas provide an excellent opportunity for wildlife observation. Because of an extensive habitat management program, this backwater wetland area is used by thousands of ducks and geese as they move through central Illinois during the changing seasons. Visitors also may encounter one of several threatened or endangered plant and animal species such as the American bald eagle, which uses the bottomland timber for roosting. Fishing is a favorite pastime at the area with catches of largemouth bass, bluegill, sunfish, crappie, channel catfish, bullhead buffalo and carp. However, with seasonal fluctuations of the water levels, fishing may be limited during certain times of the year. Duck hunting and archery deer hunting also provide opportunities for the outdoor sportsman.
The initial purchase of land, which now makes up Rice Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area in Fulton County near the Illinois River, was in 1945. These original 2,370 acres were designated as a refuge for migratory waterfowl with a portion to serve the hunters who contributed largely toward its purchase. Camping facilities were added and in 1970 renovated. The Department of Conservation purchased two of the neighboring waterfowl clubs consisting of 2,952 acres to provide increased mid-migration habitat. This current 5,660-acre area includes Big Lake, Slim Lake, Goose Lake, Pond Lily Lake, Lock Pond and the Copperas Creek Management Unit. Because the area is subject to extensive flooding, water management projects have been established to provide water control. Each year the lake is drawn down and aerially seeded with high quality moist soil plants to provide food to attract waterfowl as the migrate.
For a break from fishing or a long nature walk, visitors can take advantage of a shady picnic area featuring tables, drinking water and restrooms.
If you have time for an overnight stay, tent and trailer camping areas are available. Thirty-two of the sites are graveled and have electricity hookups. Two are paved for handicapped access.
Many Illinois anglers list Rice Lake as one of the best lakes in the area for its large variety of game fish. Fifteen miles of shoreline provide plenty of space, or bring your boat and try your luck offshore. A paved boat ramp is located at the site office. From Oct. 1 to April 1, boat traffic is limited to authorized boats only. This helps limit the disturbance of migrating waterfowl and endangered species using the area.
During waterfowl hunting season, Rice Lake is popular with sportsmen, the area is open for hunting, and there is a daily draw for walk-in hunters. Because of its wetland acreage and river backwater, this area is a hunters paradise. Archery deer hunting also is available.
Rice Lake/Banner Marsh State Fish & Wildlife Areas are both accessible by US Rte 24. Both sites are well signed with Banner Marsh providing four access points and Rice Lake one. Traveling from the north, via I-55 to Bloomington-Normal, take I-74 west to 474 which will bypass Peoria to the south. Exit 474 onto US Rte 24 west, travel approximately 15 miles on US Rte 24 west to access Banner Marsh and approximately 20 miles to the entrance to Rice Lake. Traveling from the south, you can access these sites by utilizing these same routes. Traveling from the east or west, travelers may utilize US Rte 136 to state routes 78 & 97, one miles west of Havana. Travel north approximately five miles to US Rte 24, then approximately 12 miles to the Rice Lake entrance and 17 miles to the Banner Marsh entrance.

Johns Hopkins Hospital has now confirmed that it was contacted by an employee on February 4th who noticed that a gynecologist was wearing a device which looked like a pen around his neck while examining patients and she believed it was a camera.
The confirmation came in a letter from the JHH President and the Dean of the Medical Faculty to the Baltimore law firm of Slutkin, Silverman, Thompson and White.
The firm sent a letter to Hopkins last week as part of its investigation into the alleged actions of Dr. Nikita Levy after victims started to contact their firm.
Andrew Slutkin with the firm tells WBAL Radio this is the first time that Johns Hopkins Hospital has confirmed the information since Levy committed suicide on February 18th.
Slutkin says it also requested Hopkins provide assurances that patients privacy rights were being protected and to disclose what Hopkins knew about the matter involving Dr. Levy.
He says that the hospital stated in the letter that the photos and videos taken by Levy have been turned over to police and federal authorities and that they are being kept strictly confidential.
Slutkin says the confirmation is very important because it provides some sort of comfort to the victims because previously there was silence on behalf of Hopkins.
In the letter, the hospital says it has security procedures in place to protect other patients.
"One of the things we are hearing from our clients and other victims of this is that they want more information. They want to know how this event unfolded, what Hopkins did prior to this event to protect patients privacy and what it is doing now to prevent something like this from happening again," says Slutkin.
He says some of their clients started seeing Dr. Levy when they were 13-years-old. Other victims are reported to be in their 60's and 70's.
City Police and federal authorities are continuing their investigation.

Help me choose a story....
Watching: The A-Team remake
Listening to: Snow Patrol
Making me smile: Playing Wii with hubby
It's time for me to start writing a brand new Nocturne Bites. I have one coming out soon called One Night with the Wolf and I want to get started on my next one. I love those moments just before I start a story – where ideas and inspiration churn and anything and possible!
Usually I just *know* which story I want to write next…but this time I have a few different ideas knocking around in my head and one hasn't risen to the surface yet.
So I thought I'd let the LoveCats blog readers vote on which story I should tackle next. Here are the options:
Dragon Prince – a follow up story to my very first Bites, Savage Dragon. It'll feature the cousin of the hero in SD who is a dragon prince and wields some powerful elemental magic. The heroine is a human out to expose dragons to the world.
Marked by Shadow – a vampire story set in the same world as my Bites, Hunter's Surrender. It'll feature a vampire doctor hero in Las Vegas and a heroine desperate to avenge the death of her sister at the hands of vampires.
At the Wolf's Mercy – a wolf story set in the same world as One Night with the Wolf. It features a wild alpha hero who leads a wolf pack in the untamed wilds of northern Canada and a pilot heroine who crash lands in his territory.
Racing the Dark – this is a new one. It'll be set in a world where a small group of humans race against paranormals to secure ancient artifacts of power. The heroine is a tough human dedicated to her cause and the hero is a sexy, mysterious half angel, half vampire.
So vote below and thanks for the help. If anyone has any questions about any of the stories, ask away!

Oh, what a choice! I voted for Dragon Prince but my second vote would have been for At The Wolf's Mercy.
Actually, Anna, perhaps you could write them all so I can read them? ;) - October 11, 2010 at 12:46 PM
- Emmeline Lock said...
Gosh, Anna. What a choice. But, I think you had me at 'vampire doctor'. If he's anything like Rand, I'll be ecstatic. :)
I'm with Rachel. You're just going to have to pen them all... X - October 11, 2010 at 4:43 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
I'm with Rachel, Anna - you need to write them all! Cute little poll set-up and such a power trip to be able to vote! I went for "Marked by Shadow" with the vampire doctor hero - just what you'd expect from someone who writes for the medical line! ;)
Sharon - October 11, 2010 at 4:45 PM
- Michelle Douglas said...
Okay, Anna, it's unanimous, you're going to have to write them all. My vote went to At The Wolf's Mercy. There's just something about that particular hero, heroine and setting combination that gets the mind racing and the blood pumping!

Had to vote for dragon prince, but they all sound great! Maybe Racing the Dark after that?

Hi Rach --
I'm sure I'll find the time to write them all (at some stage!)
Looks like At the Wolf's Mercy is in the lead!! - October 11, 2010 at 8:09 PM
- Anna Hackett said...
Hi Em --
Rand was a great hero, wasn't he (-: I think a vapire doctor would be very sexy... We'll need to drum up some more votes because the wolves are beating the vamps so far. - October 11, 2010 at 8:11 PM
- Anna Hackett said...
Hi Sharon --
See, medical and paranormal do mix (-: I'm not surprised the vampire doctor got your vote, he needs a few more to beat the wolves!! - October 11, 2010 at 8:13 PM
- Anna Hackett said...
Hi Michelle --
I will write them all...eventually. Glad to hear At the Wolf's Mercy got the blood pumping! - October 11, 2010 at 8:14 PM
- Anna Hackett said...
Hi Mel --
Woo hoo, a vote for Dragon Prince (my dragons will always hold a special place in my heart). Ooh and a secondary vote for Racing the Dark. That new world is still forming in my head, but the hero is very much wanting his story told. - October 11, 2010 at 8:16 PM
- Anna Hackett said...
Hey Emily --
Nope, you have to choose (-: - October 11, 2010 at 8:16 PM

What fun, Anna. I voted Dragon Prince because I've always been a sucker for a dragon story :)
- October 11, 2010 at 10:25 PM

Hi Anita --
Thanks for the vote. Dragon Prince is starting to catch At the Wolf's Mercy! The race is on... - October 11, 2010 at 11:23 PM

I love my quests so I voted for Racing The Dark. But as everyone said, these all sound great, so I would like to see them all thank you! :))
Happy writing! - October 12, 2010 at 12:15 AM

So cruel, Anna! I voted for At the Wolf's Mercy.
- October 12, 2010 at 4:37 AM

Hi Eleni -
Yay, a vote for Racing the Dark. I will be writing them all...but I can only write one at a time! - October 12, 2010 at 7:42 AM
- Anna Hackett said...
Hi Emily --
Sorry to be cruel (-: Thanks for the vote. At the Wolf's Mercy is defintely in the lead with the dragons a close second. - October 12, 2010 at 7:43 AM
- Anna Hackett said...
