PALA MESA — Firefighters battling the Lilac Fire that tore across more than 4,100 acres near Fallbrook and destroyed at least 65 structures switched from a defensive approach to an offensive attack this morning, authorities said. Read more here.
9 p.m. DEC 7 | A fast-moving wildfire that started near Bonsall has now consumed more than 4,100 acres, destroyed dozens of homes and is threatening thousands of homes in Fallbrook and Oceanside, injuring three people, closing roads and forcing widespread evacuations.
The Lilac fire, which started about 11:15 a.m. just west of Interstate 15 and north of Lilac Road in Pala Mesa, ripped through the Rancho Monserate Country Club and destroyed dozens of mobile homes before starting on its swift path west toward Oceanside and north towards fallbrook.
As of the time of this update, Cal Fire officials said the fire is zero-percent contained and is moving faster than resources can be brought in.
Fire officials said at 9:11 p.m. that the fire has destroyed 20 structures and damaged 12 others.
Residents in several areas of Oceanside, Fallbrook and Vista are under mandatory evacuation orders, and officials announced an evacuation warning for the area south of North River Road, west of East Vista Way, north of Bobier Drive and east of Melrose Drive and North Santa Fe Avenue.
With large swaths of dried brush in the path of the blaze, fire officials said the fire could potentially reach the Pacific Ocean if the weather conditions continue to be unfavorable.
"They have grown quite a bit," Cal Fire Capt. Jon Heggie said to 10 News about the evacuation zones.
Oceanside High School is taking in evacuees at 1 Pirates Cove Way, Oceanside, 92054, and the City of Carlsbad has a shelter open at the Stagecoach Community Center at 3420 Camino de los Coches, Carlsbad, 92009.
Schools and colleges across North County have cancelled classes and athletic events tomorrow.
6:57 p.m. DEC. 7 | A fast-moving wildfire tore across thousands of acres near Fallbrook today, gutting dozens of homes while threatening hundreds of others, injuring several people, closing roads and forcing widespread evacuations.
The wind-driven blaze erupted for unknown reasons about 11:15 a.m. just west of Interstate 15 and north of Lilac Road in Pala Mesa amid gusty, arid weather.
Within an hour, the burn area had grown to about 50 acres as ground and airborne crews labored to keep the blaze, dubbed the Lilac Fire, from becoming a disastrously out-of-control conflagration like others raging this week across Southern California.
By 2 p.m., the flames had spread over roughly 500 acres, were threatening an estimated 1,000 homes and had sent a thick pall of brown smoke to the southwest above the North County and out over the ocean, according to Cal Fire.
As of late afternoon, crews had gained no containment of the fire, which had grown to about 2,500 acres while being pushed by stiff Santa Ana winds "at a dangerous rate of spread," Cal Fire reported.
Two residents were taken to a hospital for treatment of burns suffered during the blaze. The severity of their injuries was unclear.
Many of the structures lost to the flames were residences in a mobile- home retirement community near the origin point of the blaze, officials said. Television news helicopter footage showed rows of dwelling units at Rancho Monserate Country Club engulfed in fire or already reduced to smoldering rubble.
During a late-afternoon news conference, authorities urged residents of communities near the site of the blaze — and across the San Diego region — to remain vigilant in the face of ongoing threats of wildfire amid the dicey and unseasonable weather conditions gripping the area.
"We are nowhere near the end of this," county Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Ron Lane said. "There are going to be more evacuations. There are thousands of homes that are within the path of (this fire), and every resident needs to take this very seriously and be prepared to take care of themselves and their families."
Sheriff Bill Gore called on the public to "stay alert" and keep close tabs on the blaze via news accounts and local-government bulletins issued online.
"I can't emphasize this enough — if you feel threatened in any way, don't hesitate to self-evacuate," Gore said. "Get your family out of harm's way. Go to some relatives, go to some friends or go to one of the (evacuation) sites … . But don't wait for that … deputy to knock on your door, because there's not that many of us out there."
San Diego County was quick to proclaim a state of local emergency due to the blaze. The decree, issued in the mid-afternoon, will help make the region eligible for state and federal resources. Later in the afternoon, Gov. Jerry Brown issued a state emergency proclamation for San Diego County.
Authorities issued a mandatory evacuation order for all areas south of SR-76, west of I-15, north of Gopher Canyon Road and east of Mission Road/Vista Way. Among the evacuated sites were Bonsall High School, Sullivan Middle School and all neighborhoods along West Lilac Road.
In the early evening, the county issued a new evacuation order for the region south of Burma Road, east of Wilshire Road, north of North River Road and west of South Mission Avenue. Additional orders were then isued for the area south of Reche Road, west of the 15 Freeway, east of Green Canyon and South Mission Road and north of Highway 76.
Residents of other nearby communities were advised to seriously consider retreating to safer areas as a precaution.
Authorities set up evacuation centers for the displaced at East Valley Community Center in Escondido, Fallbrook High School and Pala Casino. People with horses and livestock were advised to take their animals to shelter at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
The California Highway Patrol closed down SR-76 from Gird Road to Old Highway 395 and blocked off the latter route between West Lilac Road and SR-76.
A contingent of about 700 firefighters from various area agencies was working to control the blaze as of late this afternoon, Cal Fire Deputy Chief Dave Nissen said. On Friday morning, Navy and Marine Corps aircraft areexpected to join the other firefighting helicopters and air tankers assigned tothe fire, he told news crews.
Overnight, aircraft from the city of San Diego and Kern County willcontinue to conduct water drops, according to Nissen.
About 70 sheriff's deputies were working in the fire-ravaged area,handling road closures and providing security for evacuated homes, Gore told reporters.
Campuses in 10 school districts in northern and eastern San Diego County will be closed Friday due to the out-of-control wildfire, high winds and potential power outages, officials said. Some are potentially in the path of the fire.
The cause of the blaze — which broke out amid a National Weather Service "red flag" wildfire warning slated to expire Sunday night — was not immediately clear.
THIS STORY WAS UPDATED AT 4:31 p.m. to update mandatory evacuation areas and number of homes destroyed
Two civilians are now being treated for burns suffered in the swift-moving Lilac Fire near Bonsall that has now charred 2,500 acres and has destroyed 20 structures, damaged dozens of others and is threatening 1,000 more homes, harkening back memories of the devastating fires in Fallbrook 1o years ago.
Cal Fire Capt. Jon Heggie told 10 News at 3:40 p.m. that the fire has now quadrupled from its previous 500-acre size, with zero containment.
Cal Fire San Diego also reported at 3:25 p.m. that two civilian burn victims were in the process of being treated and transported to area hospitals.
The incident started off of South Interstate 15, and is being blown away from the 15 freeway toward Sullivan Middle School and State Route 76. The North County Fire Protection District has expanded its mandatory evacuation for the areas north of Bobier Drive, south of North River Road, west of East Vista Way and east of Melrose Drive and North Santa Fe Avenue.
Highway 76 has also been closed in both directions.
San Diego County around 2:15 p.m. declared an emergency, which will help make the region eligible for federal and state resources.
The blaze has destroyed at least two mobile homes and damaged 12 others in the Rancho Monserate Country Club, a senior-citizen mobile home park just west of Interstate 15, North County Fire spokesman John Buchanan said.
According to Rancho Monserate's website, the community was developed in the 1970s "on the site of a picturesque and historic California rancho."
The San Diego Sheriff's Department is handling the evacuation. Evacuation centers have been set up at Fallbrook High School and Great Oak High School in Temecula and The Forum in Carlsbad. People with livestock can bring their animals to the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which is opening up to accept them, according to Cal Fire.
The fire breaks out as red-flag and high-wind warnings have gripped the region, as low humidity, strong Santa Ana conditions and seasonally warm temperatures have combined to create a wildfire threat not seen since 2007, when several wildfires charred hundreds of thousands of acres across the county.
During the 2007 incident, the Rice fire swept through and destroyed most of the Valley Oaks Mobile Home Park in Fallbrook.
Smoke can be seen from as far away as San Marcos, Oceanside, Encinitas, Carlsbad and Escondido, prompting officials in those cities to issue a statement to residents that the fire doesn't pose a threat to those cities.
Cal State San Marcos announced Thursday that the campus was closed effective 3:30 p.m. and would remain closed Friday as a precaution.
"Currently, no fires are threatening the vicinity of the University. The closure is precautionary and in consideration of students, faculty and staff who live in or must travel through areas impacted by the fires," Cal State San Marcos spokesman Eric Breier wrote in a news release.
Carlsbad Unified School District announced that all sporting events Thursday would be cancelled due to poor air quality. MiraCosta College just announced that classes at the Oceanside Campus and Community Learning Center were also cancelled due to the fires. The San Elijo Campus in Encinitas remains open.
This is a developing story and The Coast News will provide updates as they are released.

The adventure has taken a very real feel as of today. After spending the last several days saying our final farewells to family and friends and experiencing the first vestiges of winter
we are are heading south. I do need to thank my mother for the ride to the airport at O'dark thirty and acknowledge my son who came to the airport with his girlfriend to see us off and wish us well. The sunrise as we took off out of Calgary was beautiful. A gorgeous deep red across the horizon. It was very much an emotional moment after the sadness and stress of the last week and now the exciting beginning of our retirement.
Other than the emotional stress of leaving everything familiar behind us was the stress of travelling with more "stuff" than we ever have before. I have met and discussed with other travellers who were going to be on the road for months with only a suitcase small enough to be used as carry on for air travel. I have also read plenty about how to pare down what you pack to make travelling easier. After doing all that it is apparent that I need to do things the hard way. As we unloaded our gear from my mother's car at 4:15 this morning at the airport, we each had two bags to be checked (mine weighed in at 65lbs each). And two carry on bags each (mine were at 40 and 32lbs). Thank goodness they didn't weigh our carry on as we may have had a problem there. Now what you may ask am I going to do with 202lbs of "stuff"? I don't know. Considering that was all condensed down from everything I own I thought I did pretty good. While I was trying to pile it all on a cart to get into the airport I realized I suck at packing. However, as I looked at it I realized I have several months in Belize to come to grips with what I truly don't need and lighten the load some more before the next stage of our journey.
The last comment I have for today is I must compliment United Airlines on our flight thus far. The service has been excellent and the flight smooth. We received no grief for the number or weight of our bags and were well fed and watered on the way down.

Tony Abbott's office has 'obsessive centralised control phobia'
Ian Macdonald is "incensed" that two key elements have been left out of the instructions for the new joint select committee on northern Australia. Photograph: Alan Porritt/AAP
A Liberal National party senator has lashed out at Tony Abbott's office for displaying an "obsessive centralised control phobia" over every aspect of parliament, saying he will not be bossed around by "unelected advisers".
The veteran Queensland senator, Ian Macdonald, who has voiced his disappointment at being passed over for a front bench post, levelled the fresh criticism over the government's handling of an inquiry into the development of northern Australia.
Some Coalition members have privately raised questions about the level of control exercised by Abbott's office, headed by chief of staff Peta Credlin, but Macdonald chose to make his views public in a short address to parliament on Wednesday.
Macdonald said he was "incensed" that two key elements had been left out of the instructions for the new joint select committee on northern Australia, including an examination of the zone tax system and a definitive programme towards sustainable development in the region.
He said there had been little or no consultation with senators with a special interest in the north over the terms of reference, arguing that the prime minister's office seemed to have "an almost obsessive centralised control phobia over this and every aspect of parliament".
Moving an amendment in the Senate on Wednesday, Macdonald said such action should not have been necessary, but the terms of reference that he "eventually discovered almost by accident" were not in accord with the Coalition's previously stated aims.
Macdonald pointedly declared he was "not elected to this parliament by the prime minister's office but by the Liberal National party of Queensland and by the voters of Queensland, particularly those in the north".
"I have to advise them and my constituents that I'll not have unelected advisers in the prime minister's office telling elected politicians who are actually in touch with their constituencies what should and shouldn't be done," he said.
The original terms of reference asked for recommendations on establishing "a conducive regulatory and economic environment" in northern Australia. Macdonald's amendment makes clear that taxation should be part of this examination.
Before the election, the Coalition promised to develop within 12 months a white paper on policy options, including building on existing key urban zones such as Darwin, Cairns, Townsville and Karratha.
"To this end, the efficacy and targeting of current relocation incentives and personal and business tax incentives could be reviewed," Abbott said in a statement before the election. Kevin Rudd subsequently proposed cutting company tax in the Northern Territory but faced criticism over the lack of detail accompanying the campaign pledge.
Also added to the committee's terms of reference is a specific requirement for advice on a white paper to detail government action needed to make the proposals a reality, including funding sources and a timeline for implementation.
Most elements of the terms of reference put to the lower house on 21 November will remain the same. The committee will consider policies for developing parts of Australia that lie north of the Tropic of Capricorn spanning Western Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory.
It will look at opportunities in the mineral, energy, agricultural, tourism, defence and other industries, trade and investment links with the Asia-Pacific, critical economic and social infrastructure, "impediments to growth" and ways to encourage private investment and innovation.
The committee is expected to report about the middle of next year.

After months of hype and updates on the drivers' internet-breaking new car builds, it was time to start the 2015 season with a bang – King of Europe is back and it's bigger than ever!
Last year was a pretty hectic time for me – which I'm sure those of you who are frequent visitors to Wangan Warriors would have noticed. I shot two rounds of King of Europe, both in the UK and also a round in Valencia, Spain.
Luckily for me, the King of Europe team had been following my articles with interest here on WW – that's where my story begins…
During the closing stages of the year I was contacted by KOE to ask whether I would mind having some of my work displayed on their stand for the Essen Motor Show in Germany. Like every other photographer, an offer to see your work blown up in front of thousands of motorsports fans – I jumped at the opportunity!
Sadly I couldn't make it out to the show, but luckily WW's very own Rens Adams was able to visit and fire me over some shots so that I could witness the scale of the huge 40-foot billboard! I'd say this was one of my prouder moments this level of appreciation towards my work was truly flattering.
After the Essen Motor Show I was contacted by KOE to ask if I would consider covering the full 2015 ProSeries. This would limit my potential opportunities for this season – since I'd require so much time getting to and from each event, but how could I pass up such an amazing opportunity? I enjoyed shooting what the UK had to offer last year, but KOE was on another level.
After my time at KOE Valencia last year, I'd really developed an interest in seeing the level of European driving talent as well as shooting in totally new locations. There's a different atmosphere at the events, a different feel to the driving style and new challenges for me as a photographer.
After confirming the 2015 calendar, I eagerly counted down to Round 1 which would be a short flight to France to visit the Anneau du Rhin circuit – a new circuit to KOE. Each year the track plays host to an amateur drift competition, however this year they would be letting the fans in for a treat by running this alongside the KOE ProSeries.
After checking my bags repeatedly to ensure I had everything I needed for the trip, I set off for Gatwick, destined for Strasbourg. There's something really exciting about boarding a plane to get to a drift event, it gives you a chance to get away from the hustle-bustle of daily life and focus on the weekend ahead.
With plans and ideas running through my head, I was picked up from the airport and headed straight to the circuit. With practice already running on the Friday evening, I jumped out of the car and immediately hit the track to begin shooting.
It wasn't long before I was reminded of one of the several reasons I was most looking forward to shooting here in Europe. With the sun rapidly setting there was a 'golden hour' like I have never witnessed before at a track – falling directly behind the drivers as they exited the main bend on the circuit.
One of the main downsides of events in the UK is that they're run during standard daytime hours. Sure, in the later months of the year you might get a slight glimpse of an autumnal sunset, but even if you get the position right – the weather would most likely be miserable and overcast anyway!
Since I didn't have a chance to check out the pits before practice, it was a really pleasant surprise to see some of the new builds for the new season looking so impressive out on track.
King of Europe may have once been known for BMW's, however at this round I'd say that Japanese machinery was dominating – there was undoubtedly more than I have witnessed at any of the previously events, which was refreshing to see!
With practice over, it was time to meet the crazy Europeans I'd be working alongside this season. Despite being an extremely professional and well run organisation, there's always time to have a laugh and also to enjoy the sport which is part of the common connection between each and every one of us.
Now I'd started to settle in at the venue, it was time for a stroll through the pits. I knew before the event that there'd be quite a few UK teams making the trip over, but I didn't expect to see quite as many as I did.
As the event clashed with the ever-growing Irish Drift Championship, it was awesome to see teams like Driftworks broaden their horizons to feature in their first KOE round to date. Despite Phil Morrison having an unfortunate collision with a concrete kerb during the previous weekend's street demonstrations in Coventry, the team worked around the clock to get the car straightened out as best they could to hit the circuit in time for Saturday mornings practice.
Matt Campling would be giving his fresh MX5 build its first real test. With the lightweight car carrying over the 1JZ he used last year, the combination immediately showed that he will be providing an impressive smoke show throughout this season!
My favourite new build so far this season would have to be Amerigo Monteverde's Brillsteel S14. With the LS1 V8 engine swap which we're seeing increasingly often in drifting. Monteverde has been planning the build for some time and it was great to finally get to see it in the flesh – it certainly didn't disappoint!
After practice came the qualifying, this track was extremely challenging, fast and unforgiving – drivers were frequently running off the circuit throughout the day. One wrong move at this level of competition and you were unlikely to qualify, which would be the case for almost half of the 60 entrants; only the best 32 could progress to the battles.
The KOE telemetry system can generate some really interesting facts – including Adam Frank's fastest qualifying entry speed at a crazy 149km/h (92mph), which showed just how brutally fast these drivers were.
When I'm at a track I always like to look for a new and unique perspective that no-one else is capturing. Having spent my time so far in the obvious areas of the track, for qualifying I decided it was time for an adventure.
Anneau du Rhin is a stunning circuit, surrounded by dense woodland that is clearly seldom visited by overly-excited photographers! Despite an agonising amount of stinging nettles hiding in the overgrowth, I decided to venture off the beaten track towards the start line.
After walking for quite some time, it became apparent that this probably wasn't the best idea, having not seen anyone for a good half-hour, and also hopping a fence and entering an enclosure of some description – I noticed a non-human shadow moving in the distance. Sadly I've spent too much time writing articles to do nature research so I didn't have much of an idea what was staring at me at the time!
Despite not knowing what it was or whether it liked eating Englishmen, I couldn't miss the photo opportunity. With the animal walking a little too quickly towards me for my liking I decided to briskly head towards the hi-vis jackets I could see through the woodland and opted to get scratched to pieces by a variety of angry French vegetation in order to get to what I hoped was the start line.
I had found the track, but I had underestimated the sheer scale of the circuit – most drift tracks in the UK are tiny, but this was absolutely gigantic in comparison. I was nowhere near the start line, in fact I'd only reached the first clipping point, confirmed as the first car came flying through at an insane speed!
I couldn't see any media in sight, just me and circuit staff – it was worth staying around here for a while to know I'd go home without having the same coverage as everyone else.
It was time to continue my venture to the start line, thankfully I was nearly there and by this point the light was starting to fade. I was hoping that the sunset was going to match the one I'd witnessed the night before and I had a few shots in mind that I've wanted to capture for quite some time.
Before I knew it, golden hour had well and truly begun. As drivers continued their final qualifying laps – despite visibility being extremely low in the setting sun – it was a great opportunity to get up-close and personal and capture the raw emotion involved in an event like this.
Most people that bring a camera along to an event spend their time hammering away at their shutter button in the hope of getting the best shots of the action as possible. As much as I love doing this sometimes, there's nothing quite like taking the time to frame the perfect shot you had dreamed about, in the perfect natural lighting.
I've never wanted to snap so many shots in such a short period of time, the conditions had turned into visual porn for any photographer, and luckily the drivers were adding to the magic of the shots with their start-line burnouts
After spending most of the night being infuriated by French internet speeds, I headed back to the track after just three hours sleep. It's amazing just how little sleep you can cope with when you desperately want to succeed – admittedly several cans of Monster may have helped!
Despite the weekend being baking hot most of the time, there were several amazing thunderstorms. Despite the downpours, the tarmac was so warm the standing water quickly turned to steam and the track would be dry again.
As everyone prepared themselves for the top 32 battles, there was no doubt that the outcome here was going to be an interesting one. Adam Kerenyi sadly suffered a fatal gearbox failure and Baggsy was facing car problems which seemed to plague his entire weekend.
As the battles continued, we would see experienced drivers get knocked out as just the slightest error would be enough to hand over the victory. With drivers being informed in briefing that two wheels off track would result in a 0 point fun, the drivers were quickly learning that KOE takes no prisoners.
The risks didn't stop them getting up-close and personal at every given opportunity, the driving was still second-to-none.
With the skies clear and the sun beating down on the track, the ever-growing crowd were in for a treat.
With some of the more well-known drivers getting knocked out of the competition, the suspense was rising to see which drivers would feature in the final.
Sadly the DW86's kerb-related issues meant that it was extremely difficult to handle throughout the weekend. Phil is one of the UK's most experienced competition drifters, to see him exit a competition after two 0-point runs in a battle is almost unheard of.
Szilvezster Gyorgy had been pouring red smoke over the fans and competitors throughout the weekend, his driving level had been extremely high but sadly he was knocked out by Christian Lewis.
In the final would be Norbert Kovacik's 500bhp BMW M6 go up against Amerigo Monteverde's brand new S14 build. With Kovacik narrowly taking the win in the first battle, it was open for Monteverde to maybe take the win. Unfortunately both drivers scored 0 points in the final run, meaning the first run would dictate the victor…
Norbert Kovacik would take the winners medal for the first round of 2015!
It was great to see the Hountondji Driftbrothers at the event, I last saw them at the drift demo at the Nürburgring 24H event. I'd hoped to see them again and they certainly didn't disappoint while deservedly taking home the medal for best team. I know that a lot of people would like to see them feature in the series a lot more this year!
It was time to say goodbye to France, and reflect on what an amazing weekend it had been.
It was above and beyond what I'd expected from the first round, and round 2 will see me venture somewhere I've been looking forward to shooting for quite some time.
I'll once again be boarding a plane – this time venturing to Karpacz in Poland, for what could well be the most exciting event I've shot to date. With the Polish mountains playing host to the ProSeries, King of Touge and Queen of Europe in one weekend, it's sure to be an insane event!
With the competition travelling to Austria the following week for Round 3, it's sure going to be an exciting few weeks!
Until next time!

Spanning Tree Protocol
I'm working on a switches deployment project these weeks where redundancy and high capacity is important. Of course!! Who don't want redundancy and high capacity? It depends on who you are talking with but there are people who think switches can be deployed with the configuration by default and switches only have to be connected to the network, which means their networks are flat without layer 2 segmentation or loop avoidance configuration. There are also people who think they can't mix switches of different vendors due to Spanning Tree compatibility. However, if you are a network engineer, you'll know switches should be configured, for instance, for loop avoidance to control topology changes and get redundancy and high capacity.
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), originally standardized as IEEE 802.1D, is easy to understand and it should be known by network engineers. It is an ancient protocol for building loop-free logical topologies to prevent bridge loops and broadcast radiation. This protocol is easy to understand because switch ports can only be either a root port (RP), a designated port (DP) or a blocked port (BP). However, this protocol is no longer used because it can take 30 to 50 seconds to respond to a topology change, which is too much time.
STP improved to RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol). Standardized as IEEE 802.1w. RSTP is backwards-compatible with the standard STP as well as it is faster after a topology change because it takes few seconds (default: 3 times 2 seconds). On the other hand, RSTP port roles has been increased to five (root, designated, alternate, backup, disabled) instead of STP's original three. In addition, Cisco has released STP alternatives such as PVST, PVST+ and RPVST which support Per-VLAN Spanning Tree.
|IEEE 802.1w - RSTP
The next step was to develop the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP). Standardized as IEEE 802.1s. It is a protocol backwards-compatible with RSTP and STP but it also supports Per-VLAN Spanning Tree, where we can configure group of VLANs as multiple spanning tree instances (MSTI). This protocol has improved the redundancy and capacity of links because we can send traffic for all links at the same time while there is also an alternate path to the root bridge.
|IEEE 802.1s - MSTP
If we are going to install new switches in a network where there are already switches installed, from my point of view, the new ones don't have to be mandatory of the same vendor but we should choose switches with the same STP compatibility. Therefore, it's a best practice to configure standard protocols like MSTP or RSTP instead of proprietary protocols.
Finally, most top of rack (ToR) switches also support Shortest Path Bridging (SPB), standardized as IEEE 802.1aq, which has better performance, reliability and real layer 2 multipathing. However, Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation like the implemented by HPE IRF, Aruba VSF and Cisco VSS can also help us to build loop-free logical topologies with much better performance than traditional STP protocols.
|IEEE 802.1aq - SPB
Regards my friend and remember, drop a line with the first thing you're thinking.

Brock Cantillo Doesn't Appear in 'El Camino', but He's Essential to the 'Breaking Bad' Story
Who is Brock Cantillo in 'El Camino'? The 'Breaking Bad' character's history with Jesse Pinkman is heartbreaking.
The long-awaited Breaking Bad movie, El Camino, hit Netflix on Oct. 11, and we're already in need of a refresher on one of the characters.
In the film, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) gives Ed Galbraith (Robert Forster) a letter to mail to Brock Cantillo (Ian Posada). We never see Brock, so it took us a second to remember how we know that name.
Who is Brock Cantillo in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie?
Silly us for forgetting that Brock is the kid Walt poisoned in Season 4 of Breaking Bad. Yes, Walt fed the young boy poisonous berries in order to manipulate Jesse into thinking that Gus was somehow involved.
Jesse eventually discovered the truth in Season 5, but not until after he ended his relationship with Brock's mother, Andrea — a decision he made after talking to Walt.
Sadly, Andrea was killed to punish Jesse after he tried to escape from Jack Welker and his gang. Brock presumably went to live with his grandmother after the heartbreaking death.
All in all, Brock appeared in eight episodes over the course of three seasons, and basically watched his life get ruined because of his association with Jesse Pinkman. We never find out what's in Jesse's letter to him, but Aaron gave fans a sneak peek of its contents in a recent interview with TV Guide.
"[Director Vince Gilligan] wrote that letter and then he wrote the script," the actor revealed. "In the original draft of the script, that is how the entire movie ends — the voiceover of the letter. But that was sadly cut."
He described the note as "the most honest, beautiful, caring letter imaginable — really, just pouring his heart out and saying he's sorry." Aaron is hopeful that fans will get to read it someday. "I'm begging Vince to allow me to release it," he admitted, "but we'll see if that happens."
Ian Posada cried after watching his on-screen mom get shot in Breaking Bad.
Emily Rios, the actress who played Andrea, told The Hollywood Reporter in 2013 that her Season 5 death scene wasn't just emotional for her.
"[Ian's] mother texted me right after the episode they killed me off, 'Granite State,' because she let him watch, and he was crying because they'd killed off my character," the brunette beauty recalled. "I felt so bad, but I let him know 'Hey, I'm OK.' He's such a sweetheart."
As their time on the show came to an end, the 30-year-old had nothing but kind words for her mini co-star. "They cast a great little actor, who was just so easy to fall in love with. How could you not? That face is to die for," she said.
But Emily credits Aaron for helping to break the ice during those first few days of filming. "Jesse is so good with kids, and that really is how Aaron is," she explained to THR. "He put on his Aaron charm and started telling him jokes and asking him questions and getting him excited."
Like we needed any more reasons to love Aaron Paul! You can stream El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie on Netflix now.

White-fronted Nunbird -Wild Bird Photographs-
Updated: Oct 9, 2021
The White-fronted Nunbird (Monasa morphoeus) is a species of near passerine bird in the puffbird family (Bucconidae). It is found in the tropical Americas.
This glossy black, or gray-black bird with a stout, medium red-orange bill is named for the white face markings at the cere, the base of its bill; also the upper throat. It has black eyes and black or gray-black legs.

I've been digging through and playing with the Rails Framework now for about 4 months with intent (I guess I've read about it, learned about, but not played with it for well over 4 years). I've gained a pretty good familiarity with the parts of the framework. Below, I've laid out some of the key things that I've done over and over just to become familiar with the commands, organization, and other elements within the framework. These also, in this specific order, is what I've found works best for getting a Ruby on Rails Application Project kick started (on a *nix based machine, the rvm commands will however not work on Windows, you'll need to find a respective replacement).
[sourcecode language="bash"]
$ mkdir steaming_up_the_engine
$ cd steaming_up_the_engine
$ rvm –rvmrc –create 1.9.2@steaming_up_the_engine
$ cd ..
$ cd steaming_up_the_engine
$ cd ..
$ rails new steaming_up_the_engine -T
$ open .
$ cd steaming_up_the_engine
$ git init
$ mate .gitignore
…edit and save the .gitignore file with whatever additions you may need or want…
[sourcecode language="bash"]
$ git -A
$ git commit -m 'first commit.'
$ rm public/index.html
$ rails generate rspec:install
…edit your Gemfile(See below Gemfile for contents)…
[sourcecode language="bash"]
$ rails generate controller home index contact about
$ git rm -r spec/views
$ git rm -r spec/helpers
$ mate config/routes.rb
…edit the routes.rb so there is the index page handling the root page…
Gemfile (Located in ~/projectRoot/Gemfile)
[sourcecode language="ruby"]
source 'http://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails'
gem 'sqlite3'
group :development do
gem 'rspec-rails'
group :test do
gem 'rspec-rails'
gem 'webrat'
group :assets do
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 3.1.4'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 3.1.1'
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.0.3'
gem 'jquery-rails'
route.rb file.
[sourcecode language="ruby"]
SteamingUpTheEngine::Application.routes.draw do
get "home/index"
get "home/about"
get "home/contact"
root :to => 'home#index'
mkdir creates a new directory called steaming_up_the_engine.
cd steaming_up_the_engine moves the active working directory of the terminal/bash to steaming_up_the_engine (i.e. cd stands for change directory).
rvm is the rvm application command, –rvmrc is the feature being created, –create is the command to issue on the feature. 1.9.2 is the version of Ruby that will be used for the project and the name after the @ is the name of the project itself. For more information about the rvmrc script check out my previous entry or the rvm site on rvmrc.
The action to cd .. moves out of the directory and then cd steaming_up_the_engine moves back in to initiate the script that the rvm command created for us. After that, the working directory is moved back outside of the application folder.
rails is simply the rails framework application command, new tells the application to create a new rails application based on the framework, and -T is a switch to prevent any tests from being generated.
open . actually opens the Finder to view the just created project in the working directory. The screenshot below is the Finder with the newly created rails app.
Again move back into the application working directory.
git init initializes a local git repository for the project.
mate .gitignore opens up the .gitignore file that was created by the rails command for editing. mate is the command for the TextMate Application. If you don't have TextMate, then you would have to change mate to a command that relates to whatever you use to edit your code files. Check out my previous blog entry for a sample .gitignore file.
git -A adds all new files for commit to the local git repository.
git commit -m 'first commit' actually commits the new project to the git repository.
rm public/index.html removes the default static page that displays if the application is run at this point. I never need it, but it does come in handy sometimes if you're troubleshooting if a server runs and just want to deploy something to verify you're doing it right (such as to EngineYard or Heroku).
rspec can be setup and configured to run in your Rails project with the rails command rails generate rspec:install. If the rspec gem isn't already in your project, remember to gem install rspec or add it to the gemfile and run bundle install.
The first of these commands that actually starts building the site is the rails generator command. rails generate controller Pages home contact creates the pages, controllers, and routes for the pages. Because the rspec has been configured for the project, when rails generates the controller and pages tests will be created in the spec directory.
After the creation of those pages remove the unnecessary test files in helpers and views under spec. git rm -r spec/views and git rm -r spec/helpers will get rid of these files.
Now you're ready to really get started actually building something in those pages. Enjoy!

US warns Antigua about plans to break copyright laws
The United Sates (US) is warning Antigua and Barbuda about plans to break copyright laws over its refusal to let Americans gamble at online sites based in the Caribbean island.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) on Monday allowed Antigua and Barbuda to suspend certain concessions and obligations it has under international law to the United States in respect of intellectual property rights.
Trade analysts speculate that Antigua and Barbuda's action may involve offering downloads of American intellectual property like Hollywood films, network television shows or hit pop songs.
"We are disappointed with Antigua and Barbuda's decision to abandon constructive settlement discussions," said Nkenge Harmon, a spokeswoman for the United States trade representative.
"As recently as Friday, our two countries held high-level discussions on possible settlement options that would have brought real benefits to Antigua's businesses and people," she added.
The Obama administration also warned Antigua and Barbuda that the proposed plan might further hurt trade relations between the two countries.
"If Antigua does proceed with the unprecedented plan for its government to authorise the theft of intellectual property, it would only serve to hurt Antigua's own interests," Harmon said, adding that "government-authorised piracy would undermine chances for a settlement.
"It also would serve as a major impediment to foreign investment in the Antiguan economy, particularly in high-tech industries," she said.
Antigua and Barbuda said it was seeking final WTO approval of its sanctions in order to compel the US either to comply with the rulings or to negotiate a "fair and reasonable solution" with the Antigua and Barbuda government.
The government said the remedy is "expressly provided" for under WTO law, and that contrary to what the US has publicly stated its proposed action will not constitute piracy or theft of intellectual property rights.
Rather, the Antigua and Barbuda government said it will be a "lawful suspension of intellectual property rights, conforming to the judgment of the relevant WTO tribunal".

Yeah, I got too many of them...
Tuesday, February 27, 2007
Let me tell you, lemonade is elevated, canonized when you add prickly pear puree ice cubes. I mean Jesus... Rob even asked if anyone was marketing this idea. It's really, really, really good. It's so Santa Fe (I hope you people in New Mexico are appreciating the abundance of prickly pear there). Sour, sweet, tangy, and something I plan to serve a lot of come the summer. Right now, it's great for the days I'm not feeling so hot.
I bet the ice cubes are great with a glass of tequila and bit of lime...

I don't think prickluy pear is in season in Australia. Would love to have a go at making something prickly pear.
I am thinking of something with dragonfruit at the moment.
You read my mind when you wrote the last line! :-)ReplyDelete

I think I will go with the tequila and a bit of lime, I can almost taste it now! Hope you feel better soon!ReplyDelete
Brilliant! I'll have to try this! Feel better soon!ReplyDelete
Sounds yummy! I noticed on your earlier blog on breaking down prickly pears you mentioned they're hard to find...where are you getting it? I'd love to try the lemonade, and those cupcakes are beautiful! BTW, Brooks is a dude:-) -KReplyDelete
Shameless Foodies - I am getting them at The Nugget in North Davis. And Brooks is lying to you.ReplyDelete

This sounds delicious!! I think my neighbor has a big cactus with prickly pears--me thinks I will be plucking them! I LOVE your blog by the way...
Thanks Josette! Glad you like the blog, just remember to wear heavy gloves if picking them from the wild!ReplyDelete
that's gorgeous! you've inspired me and i went on a hunt over the weekend, but wasn't able to find any.ReplyDelete
feel better!

Brilliant idea for ice cubes. I like the tequila idea!ReplyDelete
Hope you feel better soon!
Wow, awesome thought and you should patent it, seriously!!! (I guess that's what a person does??)ReplyDelete
Hi, in addition to taste and color, the prickly pear (or maybe the cactus itself)is good for diabetics trying to control their blood sugar level and is also considered to decrease the growth of viruses. So your lemonade with prickly pears sounds like just what you needed for your illness. JanReplyDelete

By Jack Roland, CBRE, AMD and CBNT
KLove /Air 1 EMF Colorado Engineering.
Greetings all! Well, due to a busted iron pipe (as old as me, literally as my house was built in 1960, same year as me, the KEØVH hamshack and radio/laundry/storage room is undergoing a complete renovation. The room prior barely had room to walk into and move around, much less for my wife to do the laundry or anything else. The room contained the freezer, washer , dryer, hamshack and years of accumulated storage and tools, paperwork, bins of blankets, storage, etc. So when we discovered a busted pipe backing up under the concrete, my wife and I decided to remove everything (necessary for many reasons including not getting concrete dust in everything including all my ham gear and electronics). MAJOR JOB! Amazing how much you accumulate over nearly 30 years, 8 children, and a family's life! When we emptied the room we found that the rest of the house, and garage became totally full! Amazing! So once that was done, which took about a week or more, I rented a jackhammer and busted up the concrete where the break was located, essentially right where the floor drain, kitchen drain, and washer drain was located in 53 year old iron pipe fittings.
Old Pipe Place
Old Pipes, see the HUGE hole?
Once this was uncovered, it was time to scoop out all the drainage from under the pipes as you can see in the black dirty dirt in the avbove left picture, and look at the corrosion and the HUGE hole in the underside of the old P trap junctions on the old pipe. So, onward to the repair! New PVC piping was fashioned and installed with a rubber junction at the old pipe out of the house where it was healthy and solid. Only had to go about 5 feet or so for that. In the picture below you see the new piping, floor drain, and washer drain. All this done in a day! WHEW!
New Assembly!
The next day, my buddy Nick, who is an expert concrete installer (in my opinion!) came over and we were done in a few hours, the floor nice and smooth again, and ready to tackle the next job! Paneling the previously stud walls, and painting the north wall concrete with a sealant and the color my wife wanted for her corner of the room. These series of pictures show the progression of phase 2 of the project!
The Freezer Corner
The Hamshack Corner
In the above picture to the right you see the yellow wall where the freezer is located sealed up and it really turned out well. The 2×4 studding is now going to be covered with a paneling and sealed up. One of my kid's room is on the other side. The upper right picture shows the hamshack corner where the old setup was, with the coax's and station ground strip plainly visible. The perfboard material will be totally removed, and after a Saturday of working on the paneling, here is the result:
The "NEW" radio corner!
Then the next step is to build the operating table and supports. It turned out pretty good!
So the next step is to install the racks, shelves, and equipment of course. I will include those pictures in next months installment of the "KEØVH Hamshack"!
AND, Coming soon to a youtube video, KEØVH and KK6GSJ in "Ice Road Engineers". Will let you know!
And as written before, we are exploring the capabilities of the Argo Avenger snow vehicle with its new wider tracks and we have using it to get to sites in the snow here in Colorado. Here on the left you see Nick, KK6GSJ at the transmitter box on top of the hill in Eagle with the Argo. The picture on the right is on Sunlight Peak, just south of Glenwood Springs. The hill on the right side of the picture though proved to be too steep and powdery, so we had to abort that hill climb. And, with another round of snow coming in behind us we didn't want to get caught at 10,000 feet, so we headed back down.
KK6GSJ at Eagle
The Argo on Sunlight Peak
Look at the snow depth's!
As always don't forget the SBE IRLP (and Echolink) Hamnet, the first Saturday of the month. AND the EMF Hamnet now is the same manner on every Monday evening at 7pm Mountain time for radio discussions, both broadcast engineering and Amateur radio. Details on how to join are at http://www.qsl.net/ke0vh/sbehamnet. I hope you will be able to join us and share your engineering and ham exploits!
73', God be with you, & see you next time! KEØVH

The game is set in the future, when travelers of different nations and races met each other. The result was a time of chaos; wars, conquests, alliances between now unknown beings.
The space-time surrounding our planet became fragile because it had to protect itself from the constant attacks by aggressive forces that wanted to use it as their gate into our world.
The only hope for humanity is to try and establish a defense system using powerful radio transmitters. This way, we can know when an attack is coming; send our own ships into the space in time and protect the Earth in the present or past. That's where you come in: You play as one of 19 commanding aliens trying to establish the defense system.
Overall Gameplay
Your goal is to create a complete command file that, when transmitted back into time will be used by Earth's forces in the past to defend our planet against alien aggression. To do this you have to fight for planetary systems and establish colonies on them before your opponents do. Also, you should attack other traveler's ships to make them join your alliance or steal their power cards.
You win the game by being the first player to establish colonies on five planets outside of your own color system.
Each of you starts with five ships, each of which has a unique special power that can be used once per turn. At the beginning of each turn, you assign one of these ships to a planet that does not have one of your colonies on it.
Each player, including you, gets a chance as the offense during every turn. Each time the offense encounters another player, both players reveal a card from their encounter hand and carry out what they can according to the hidden information-that is, alliance cards and power cards.
Cards for Days
Power Card – There are over 100 different power cards available in the game, each of which is illustrated with full-color images that depict various alien species, their starships and other objects. Each card has a text description of its special ability on it.
When you use your power you must announce who's power you are using, and then the other players have the chance to use that power too. If more than one player decides to use that power then they must place their ships on their power card first. Then you follow in order starting with the player who has had fewer turns since initiating their special ability.
Alliance Card: Every Alliance Card contains between three and five different races that are allied with each other during the game. Each race has a unique special ability listed on it, in addition to an alliance score which determines how many ships of each separate species need to be present at the encounter in order for the card to have effect
Encounter: When two ships belonging to two different players meet one another on the same planet or moon, they carry out an encounter. The player who initiated the offense is known as the offensive player, and he or she places his ships on his power card first. The other players can place their ships either on their own power cards or by placing them directly under one of the races present on one of the two encounter cards.
When the encounter is over, all ships involved must return to their owners' colonies.
Planet Card: Each planet has five areas on it where two or more ships can meet and carry out an encounter. All planets have one of each of these four kinds of areas: home base, home colony, warp point and foreign colony. They are colored differently to make it easier to identify their purpose
Warp points are the warp gates that allow ships to move from one planet to another. Each player has three of these on his or her power card at the start of the game, but more can be added throughout play by spending power cards. There are three types of warp points; one colored like the home bases, another like the foreign colonies and a third that is half blue, half orange.
These two colors are always found together on planets near each other in space. When ships move through these gateways they can enter any other gateway on that planet that matches its colors.
If your opponent has a colony on the destination planet, you must carry out an encounter to move from one warp point to another.
Home Base: Each player begins with three home bases in his or her color system. You can have more than one each of these in play at a time if your power card shows more than one symbol
Foreign Colony: The foreign colonies are the only places in space where ships can land to start a colony. You cannot have more than one foreign colony area on any planet, but you can have four home bases and two warp points.
You do not move your ships through your opponent's home base or foreign colony areas-they are off limits to everyone except for the offensive player on his or her turn. Once you have met the requirements to form a colony, your ships must return to one of these areas
Colony Card: When you start a new colony, place the cards from your hand face down and put them under the race with which you want to ally. You may not look at them again until the colony is finished, and you cannot add or remove cards from the colony until it is done.
When your race forms a colony, all ships that are in that race's home base or foreign colonies return to the new colony instead. This counts as one of their moves for the turn and does not affect their position on planets and other places where they land.
Multi-Colony System: You can extend your own empire by forming more than one colony in a single system. To do this, you must have at least four home bases under different powers.
If you have four home bases, for example, you can join them all up to form a single colony. You decide where the new system's warp points are placed-one may be in your home base or foreign colony area, one may be in your opponent's home base or foreign colony area and the other two must be somewhere else in the new system.
The only way to land your ships on this planet is by entering through one of these warp points, so you must do so before you can start a colony there. If you play your cards right, you may even triumph.
