- "she whipped out her wand, waved it, muttered something, and sent a jet of the same bluebell flames she had used on Snape at the plant. In a matter of seconds, the two boys felt it loosening its grip as it cringed away from the light and warmth."
- —Hermione using the spell against the Devil's Snare.[src]
The bluebell flames spell is a charm that conjures bright blue, waterproof flames.
Although the fire produced can be scooped up and carried about in a jar[1], it can still burn things.
[show]Known practicioners
- Hermione Granger
- Remus Lupin (Possible appearance)[2].
Known uses
- Hermione Granger used the spell at least thrice in the 1991-1992 school year; firstly to keep her, Harry Potter, and Ron Weasley warm in the Entrance Courtyard, the second to set Severus Snape's robes aflame in order to distract him, believing that he was trying to jinx Harry, and the third time to burn some Devil's Snare that was attacking Ron and Harry.[1]
- She used it again the next year to produce some flames over with to illicitly brew a Polyjuice Potion[3]
Behind the scenes
- In the film, this spell was replaced by Lacarnum Inflamarae and Lumos Solem respectively.
- In the seventh film, Ron tells Harry that he always liked these flames. In that film, they're the colour of normal fire, though in the book they're still blue.
- The video games make it seem like Incendio is the bluebell flames spell. However, Incendio makes normal fire, not blue fire.
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (First appearance)
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Mentioned only)
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (video game)
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (video game) (Mentioned only)

05/07/2012"The key question isn't 'What fosters creativity?' But it is why in God's name isn't everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? I think therefore a good question might be now why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate?

The Governor of the State of Illinoisis an elected Constitutional officer, the head of the Executive branch, and the highest state office in Illinois. The Governor is popularly elected every four years by a plurality and has no term limits.
Current officer
The 41st and current governor of Illinois is Pat Quinn, a Democrat. Quinn became governor after the Illinois State Senate voted to remove Rod Blagojevich from office. Quinn won a full term in the November 2010 midterms, which he began serving in January 2011.
As Quinn is divorced, there is no official First Lady of Illinois.
The state Constitution addresses the office of the governor in Article IV, the Executive Department.
Under Article V, Section 8:
The Governor shall have the supreme executive power, and shall be responsible for the faithful execution of the laws. |
Inauguration takes place on the second Monday in January following a gubernatorial election.
A governor is required to be:
- at least twenty-five years old,
- a United States citizen,
- a resident of Illinois for three years prior to election.
Official residence
The governor of Illinois resides in the Illinois Executive Mansion at 410 East Jackson in Springfield, Illinois. Its first occupant was Governor Joel Aldrich Matteson. He took residence at the mansion in 1855. It is one of three oldest governor's residences in continuous use in the United States.
The governor is also given the use of an official residence on the state fair grounds, also located in Springfield. Governors have traditionally used this residence part of the year.
However, some governors, such as Rod Blagojevich, have chosen to not to use the governor's homes as their primary residence, instead commuting either by car or plane to Springfield from their home cities. Many Chicago-based governors also have done much of their business out of the governor's office in Chicago's James R. Thompson Center, an office building owned by the state named for the governor who served through the 1980's.
Six Illinois governors have been charged with crimes, either during their administrations or after. The first, Lennington Small, was acquitted. Otto Kerner, Jr., Daniel Walker, and George Ryan all served time in prison. William G. Stratton was acquitted of tax evasion charges. Former governor Rod Blagojevich was charged by U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald with several offenses, including mail fraud and wire fraud, and attempting to sell Barack Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat for personal financial and influential gain. He was impeached on January 9, 2009, by the Illinois House of Representatives, and removed from office by the Illinois Senate on January 29, 2009. He was not sentenced to prison. Blagojevich was the first Illinois governor to be impeached.

Over the weekend, various reports have emerged suggesting that the Angels are likely to fire either GM Jerry DiPoto or longtime manager Mike Scioscia in the wake of their disastrous 2013 season. While Scioscia denies that there is an abnormal rift between the field staff and the front office, there's enough smoke here to believe […]

If you head down the beach this week, or wander along the edges of San Francisco Bay, you may just be witnessing California's future.
The ocean is getting closer.
This week, California will experience the highest tides of the year, peaking on Thursday morning in a condition known as "king tides." Beaches will temporarily disappear. Water will lap high on docks at marinas.
The gravitational tug of the moon and sun, not climate change, is responsible for the extreme tides. But volunteers with cameras across the state are using the event to document what California could look like in the coming decades as the warming earth continues to raise sea levels.
When people see the high tides this week, scientists hope many will make that connection.
"You can read something, but when you see it first hand, it's more powerful," said Gary Griggs, director of the Institute of Marine Sciences at the University of California-Santa Cruz. "When you see a place you know, when you see a king tide and say wow it's 6 inches from the San Francisco International Airport runway, you realize this is real. It's not just a model."
King tides occur several times a year, although this week's are the biggest of 2012.
Luckily for coastal residents, this week's tides aren't expected to cause significant flooding, because they are happening during relatively calm weather.
"Flooding would be a concern if we had a storm system coming through," said Matt Mehle, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Monterey.
Instead, the rising water will offer a teachable moment, scientists say. Already, the ocean off California has risen 8 inches in the past 100 years. As the earth warms, polar ice melts and the warmer ocean water expands, increasing sea level. That rate of sea level rise is accelerating.
A National Academy of Sciences report in July found that, relative to sea levels in 2000, the California coast south of Cape Mendocino is projected to experience sea level rise of 1.5 inches to 11.8 inches by 2030, and 4.7 inches to 24 inches by 2050, and 16.5 inches to 65 inches by 2100.
The latter numbers -- more than a 5-foot increase, would put large sections of coastal California underwater, including Bay Area airports, Treasure Island and Silicon Valley businesses, such as Oracle, particularly during major storms, requiring tens of billions of dollars in sea walls and other defenses.
The massive flooding of lower Manhattan and New Jersey's shoreline from Hurricane Sandy earlier this year have illuminated the threat, scientists say.
"Sandy brought us to our senses," said Griggs. "Because of the drought this year, because of the loss of arctic ice, people are finally understanding climate change."
Along with the high tides this week -- from a few inches to several feet higher than normal, depending on the location -- there are also extremely low tides.
At Half Moon Bay, for example, on Thursday the high tide will be +6.8 feet at 9 a.m., or 6.8 feet above the historic average daily low tide. The ocean will then fall 8.5 feet by 5 p.m. that day to a -1.7 feet tide. Which should make for some great tide pool exploring.
"It's going to be extreme on both ends," said Mark Sponsler, of Castro Valley, who serves as surf forecaster for the Mavericks Invitational Surf Contest. "Go down in the morning check it out, then show up about 3 p.m. and see how low it goes. You'll notice a distinct difference."
The tides will be as high as +10.1 feet Thursday morning at the Dumbarton Bridge, +8.7 feet at San Leandro Marina and +6.7 feet in Santa Cruz. They're higher in the bay, Griggs said, because the bay acts as a cul-de-sac, where water surges in and piles up.
Ironically, high tides often don't mean big waves. Tides come from the gravitational pull of the moon, which causes the water in the ocean to bulge. Waves come from wind and storm events. This week, waves along the Northern California coast are fairly mild because there are no major storm systems.
"From a surfing perspective, the preference is lower tides," Sponsler said. "You get too much water and the waves either won't break or they don't have good shape."
For some, the big tides are a chance to enlist the public in a giant science project.
As they have for the past two years, a coalition of government agencies and non-profit groups is asking the public to take photographs Wednesday and Thursday around California to document the high water -- preferably of the same place at high tide and low tide.
The project, called the California King Tides Initiative, posts the photos online. Since 2010, nearly 500 photos from 28 California cities have been posted to the site showing king tide events in California. They have been featured at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, California Academy of Sciences and other prominent places. Similar "citizen science" photo projects around king tides have been organized in Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Australia.
"We are trying to create a living archive of images we can all use to communicate about sea level rise," said the initiative's coordinator, Heidi Nutters, of the San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, based in Tiburon. "Climate change is not only about polar bears in the arctic. It's about what's happening on our coasts right now and today."

Christian Hats
Kerusso Christian Hats carry the same powerful life-changing message as Kerusso Christian T-Shirts. From your Christian Cap to your Christian T-Shirt, you can share the Good News of Jesus Christ without saying a word. Kerusso hats are also adjustable, allowing them to fit almost any size.
The modern baseball cap came on the scene in the 1940's. In 1987, Kerusso took the baseball cap and created a tool for Christians to share their faith. The "brim" or the "bill" of the cap was created to keep the sun out of the eyes of those wearing it. While Kerusso Christian Caps have "brims" and "bills," they have been created to KEEP the SON in everyone's eyes. Men's Christian Hats from Kerusso proclaim the Good News to all who see them.

Re: Tour de MikeRace Report: Sydney Road Titles 26th June 2012 - M5
Conditions were cool, but not freezing, a bit of wind, but fortunately not raining Pace was all over the place, it was a game of chess. Ultimately none of the breakaways were going to stick, I never felt I needed to chase anyone down. I went off the front myself once, and chased another rider, but no one came with me, so I pulled the pin, 2 riders ain't enough for a breakaway at penrith lakes. Racing the top riders in NSW in my age bracket, I didn't have any issues at all, it was a good test of my post injury fitness. I didn't feel comfortable about contesting the final sprint, so I didn't Strava data (which includes warmup and warmdown) shows how the pace was all over the place. I recall doing 50kph and 200 mtrs later hitting 28kph http://app.strava.com/rides/9349633 Got bored of my signature
Re: Tour de Mikerace report 2012 Ken Dinnerville Memorial Handicap 27th June
Background and Start Out The day before I did a spin class then went out and did the Sydney Road Titles, my first race back, where I was quite nervous, but it gave me the confidence for the Dinnerval. Out of 170 riders there was only one rider older than me on a harder handicap, but I felt confident on the line, but as soon as we went up the connector rd, I knew I was in trouble. Even before we made it onto lap 1, we lost the other older rider in the group. Lap 1 The bunch was hot, I knew that if I could stick it, then I'll be there for the finish. I was struggling, but I was in there. I went thru the loop in the school on the front and didn't see the parking bumps until it was too late and had to take a diversion onto the gravel behind them. Next lap there was an orange cone there... We had made a huge inroad into the bunch in front in 1/2 a lap. The hill was hot and we shredded more riders but I made it over. We continued to eat into the group in front. Lap 2 Going up the hill, I was starting to roll off, I looked down at my speedo and I was doing 20kph on the steep bit, I knew last year I was doing 22kph and that was the difference between going over the top on the front and being dropped and dropped I was, leaving only 8 riders in my bunch. For the next 3 or so K I really gunned it trying to get back on, for a while I thought I could do it, then I realised it was useless. Looking behind me, I could see for miles and there wasn't a single rider and since I've only done one training ride since January, I decided to turn it into a time trail training session. However what came interesting was that I was gaining on the bunch in front of my bunch, but I did realise that once my bunch caught them, that would change, but what the hell, you play your cards and take your chances. After going around the northern turnaround and getting the tail wind, things didn't go so well, I noted I was doing 42kph in a place where we went thru at 48kph the prior lap, I knew I was going backwards at a rapid rate and then 2/3 the way to the hill I was caught by Matts group, which I realised was going slower than my group, most of the dropped riders from my group were in it. Lap 3 The u-turn thru the school to start the 3rd lap and all of a sudden I was in trouble, loosing the rubberband game. I rode solo to the hill and was about 30 seconds behind at the base of the hill. Then came the hill... all of a sudden I didn't have drive, I slowed to a snail's pace and block went past without a chance to get on. At the top I waited a for another rider from my group to get my wheel and then I headed off for another time trial, we picked up rider #133 (what group?) and worked together as a team, though I was doing about 50% of the work. We came upon Strawbuger and I said 'jump on' but Strawbuger's face said it all Home The other 2 riders were wasted and after waiting, we decided to go our own way and I took off and gunned it to the line solo. My worst ever result, unless you want to count when I raced with the remnants of the flu, having taking sickie Mon - Fri. Oh well at least I bet scratch. Post Analysis I see that the winner was from my bunch, my prediction early on that they were hot proved to be true. On the hill I had the fastest DHBC time of the DHBC riders who had published on Strava. Matt wasn't there, I'm guessing he would of been quicker. Now I'm wondering if I should enter Wagga... entries close tomorrow. Got bored of my signature

Re: Tour de MikeRAW - Friday 30th June 2012 - Div B
First time back on a track bike since January (before my accident). Raced the opening round of RAW at Dunc Gray Velodrome, where the held the 2000 Olympics. Warmup race: Dropped, the pace was high and at least I wasn't the first to be dropped. Three lap screamer: Got second wheel of the line, the first guy controlled the pace, keeping it slow, then sprinted with just under 1.5 laps to go. I wasn't able to hold his well and 2 riders went around me, resulting in 4th, a single point. Points race: Was in the thick of it but didn't gain any points. A team mate sprinted off a got one of the wins (5 points), then rolled off. What he didn't realise was that if you get lapped, you loose 20 points Combines: The first few riders went off at typical pace and after they rolled, we ended up with a really slow rider on the front, I had 4th wheel. 1st and 2nd wheel rolled together and 3rd wheel went for it, I went to and got his wheel, he did about a lap and rolled, I went for it. After 1/2 a lap, with 5 to go, I looked around and there was no one, so I decided to have some fun and kept gunning, pulling the gap out to about 50mtrs. Crossing the line with 2 laps to go, I only had 20 mtrs, so I knew I was going to be caught on the last lap, so I rolled and retried. So this first time on the track bike showed me what was in me and what was missing Got bored of my signature

Gabrielle Giffords urges a push for 'courage' in NH visit
"Stopping gun violence takes courage, the courage to do what's right, the courage of new ideas," Giffords, a former Arizona congresswoman shot in the head in 2011, said during a news conference at the Millyard Museum.
He said after the event that the association's board voted last week to support Giffords' organization, Americans for Responsible Solutions.
According to Ayotte spokesman Jeff Grappone, "Senator Ayotte had prior family plans, so she called Mark Kelly last week to talk."
"I'd like to tell her to go home," said Dennis Hamel of Henniker. His sign read: "Register Lunatics, Not Guns."
Another protestor, Adam Orcutt of Concord, came with a handgun strapped to his hip and an AR-15 rifle slung over his shoulder. He also held a "Don't Tread on Me" flag.
"The type of background checks she wants requires registration," he said. "There's only two reasons for registration: to tax and take."
Kelly said the Senate bill expressly forbid setting up a registry.
"We also know, all of us who are gun owners here, that expanding background checks doesn't limit our rights to own guns or use guns," Barry said.
"We must never stop fighting. Fight. Fight. Fight. Be bold. Be courageous," she said. "The nation is counting on you."

Floor Polisher Parts
If you have wooden floors then it is mandatory that you invest in a good floor polisher. Though the wooden floors give the rooms a warm and golden tone, taking care of them can be tricky if you're not very careful. Wooden floors can be easily scratched, excess moisture and chemicals can damage the wood. Here we look at how to use a floor polisher on a wooden floor.
How to use Floor Polisher on Wooden Floors
•Clean the floor with a soft brushed broom or a vacuum cleaner before using the floor polisher.
•Ensure that the pad of the floor polisher is clean and sparkling. Buff the floor with the pad from one corner to another until the entire room is covered.
•You can either use a floor wax or make a all natural floor polish at home. In a double boiler heat 2 cups of mineral oil and 1 tbsp beeswax. Once they are melted drizzle the mixture evenly over the floor.
•Slide a new pad into the floor polisher. Slowly move the floor polisher from the back of the room to the front in gentle motions. The slow and gentle motion of the floor polisher over the polish will bring a glow and sparkle to the floor.
If you are planning to invest in a good floor polisher look no further than GoVacuum.com. Here we deal with only the top most brands such as Bissell, Bosch, Carpet, Dyson and so on.

Council mulls pay cut to pay for sidewalks
The City of Dell Rapids is seeking a grant to build new sidewalks near two schools, but some city council members think their own wages should be used to fund the project instead.Known as the Safe Routes to School project, city officials are working with the Dell Rapids School District to pursue an $215,00 grant from the state transportation department to install sidewalks near the public elementary and middle school.One of the walks would start east of the elementary school and continue that direction near Ripple Creek Road and 12th Street and then south from Clark Avenue to 10th Street.Another would run directly south from the school along the Rebekah Avenue right of way. That walk would stop at 10th Street.The middle school sidewalk plans include walks along the west and north sides of Brown Park and north along Garfield Avenue to the school.Councilor Mark Crisp lives on 12th Street near the school and said he's glad the city has plans for sidewalks in the area."What I have an issue with is that its approximately 800 feet of sidewalk you'd be pouring on my property, and that will not happen," he said. "We will not use taxpayer dollars or grant money for sidewalks on my property."Typically, residents are required to foot the bill for new sidewalks on their property, and the Safe Routes to School project could set an unwanted precedent, he said.Crisp said in 2011, before being seated to the council, he offered to pour sidewalks on his own dime, but the city didn't take him up on his offer.If the grant is awarded, the sidewalks would be installed in 2014."I wanted to start this two years ago. For two years I've watched the kids coming down across the field. They walk … past my house and right into the street because the city has no sidewalks," he said. "I don't want to wait another year watching someone else's kids walk down icy streets." Council pay Crisp suggested diverting the council's pay - $2,400 this year – to a sidewalk fund that would allow the city to bypass the grant process and begin project construction this summer."Before I take one paycheck from this council I want to see sidewalks put in," he said, adding that without grant strings attached and state government to work through, the construction of the phase one sidewalks, with some minor route changes, could be done for less than $30,000.Crisp made a motion to reduce councilor pay to $0 per year."I want to see that pay go toward these sidewalks this year, and if (the city) lands the grant, then we'll find other places to put those sidewalks because there are a lot of places that we need them."Councilor Chad Andrews opposed the pay cut and said if the council doesn't get paid, other municipal office holders ought not get paid either."If we're going to get rid of ours, we might as well get rid of everybody's, planning and zoning commission included," Andrews said.Crisp said the money the council receives could go further if spent on city projects."I've never understood people that run for an office (say) I'm doing it because I want to give back. So you're giving back but your getting a pay check?" he said.Andrews said nobody serves on council because of the pay, but being compensated, if even a little, makes the job more tolerable."It is nice to get a little bit of pay for some of the crap we have to put up with," he said. "Do I need 2,400 extra dollars per year? No. But I don't feel like taking phone calls and getting yelled at all the time."Crisp's motion to indefinitely eliminate pay for city councilors, seconded by Mike Geraets, garnered a rare 4-4 vote – Lee Burggraff and Paul Miles also supported the pay cut.Mayor Scott Fiegen cast the deciding nay vote and the motion failed.Council pay might not be safe, however. Crisp said last week that if the grant is not awarded for the Safe Routes to School project, the issue of council compensation could come up again.

Did she get a flu shot?
Did she get a flu shot?
I don't really see how this matters. That said, most of the people sick with the flu this year are sick with a variation the flu shot didn't protect against- basically doctors 'guess' in early spring which 3 strains of the virus to put in the shot to immunize people against and this year they guessed wrong. It's part of why so many people seem sick this year compared to last year.
Yeah, flu shots do not make you 100 percent immune. At best it gives you about 70 percent, which is better than nothing but certainty not fool-proof. And a flu shot won't make you 100 percent immune to other sickness. I got a flu shot and still got knocked down with a bad cold for the last week. I know that perhaps the flu shot provided more immunity that enabled me to recover quicker, but still nothing's 100 percent.
Well, it's a little more than "guessing" because they look at the strains prevalent in South America from their winter season a few months before the flu shots are given in North America. To say they guessed wrong is inaccurate; yes, most people who get sick were not protected against a particular strain but a lot of people didn't/won't get sick because they are protected. Regardless, Mirai has had problems rotating her jumps all season so I don't think her level at nationals was much worse than what she presented all season.
I don't want this to go too off topic but I just wanted to say it is doubtless better to have the shot than not have it, and that I do acknowledge that the guesses made are educated ones, as proven by the fact that (as I acknowledged above albeit in a roundabout way) they are often correct and this year is unusual. However at the end of the day they are guesses, nothing more.
My real larger point was that whether Nagasu had the shot or not, and whatever strain of the flu she had regardless of if she had the shot or not, it is still a pity she got sick right before Nationals. The flu is a nasty thing and even if she would have UR her jumps anyway, it's too bad she had to feel so physically crappy while doing it.
The problem with Mirai though is her jumps. She's been under-rotating them for some time now. She doesn't rotate fast enough in the air to land them fully rotated. And i'm still not sure about her handling pressure when it counts. But then we can say that about almost every top US skater at the moment.
I love watching my 1998 -- yes, '98! -- Olys video and seeing a very young Arakawa, and knowing now what is in store for her in 2006. She did have to stick with it through some somewhat less-successful years, for sure.
Still, perhaps someone said something like that to Arakawa, and it lit her competitive fire to prove him/her wrong. I don't know if Mirai will want to stay or not, though; she really doesn't seem to enjoy skating, or at least skating competitions.
Last edited by rallycairn; 02-01-2013 at 03:10 PM.
Yes, aren't we all lucky that Arakawa hung in there and either didn't listen or wasn't told. What a splendid presence we would have been deprived of, and what a career she would have missed out on. I don't know whether Mirai has similar potential, but there's always that possibility. Remember also Paul Wylie, an overnight Olympic star ten years in the making.
While it is quite obvious that Mirai's family is not wealthy relative to other elite figure skating families in the USA, am I the only one who thinks their level of poverty is kind of exaggerated? It appears her parents are running a successful restaurant; she has her own computer and smart phone. I know and work with some legitimately poor families and the Nagasu's do not, in my mind, really qualify.
I am not meaning to trivialize how expensive skating is or that they will need to make sacrifices; I'm just saying for me this card is a tad overplayed/exaggerated when it comes to her IMO. In addition, won't she get the same funding as last year anyway?
Quite finally, she could get a part time job to bring in some extra money if she does continue. I understand skating is a full time endeavor at her level but Ashley Wagner has recently talked of all her part time jobs... in all actuality, I think Ashley's parents are about as wealthy (or not) as Mirai's now that I think of it, and somehow that never gets mentioned.
A computer and a smartphone are not exactly measures of wealth anymore. And skating at the elite level costs more money than the average American family makes in a year. I have never seen any claim that the family is impoverished, rather that they are typical middle to lower middle class. An article in the local news during Nats estimated the average costs of elite level skating around $50,000--$80,000 a year. Median annual income in L.A. for 2011 was $56,653. So even if they have an average income for their area...I've seen online reviews of their restaurant. While it seems to be reasonably successful, it is also very small and likely not bringing in enough to cover overhead, support the family and pay for skating all at once. Because that adds up to a lot of money, particularly in L.A. As for Mirai working, it has still been reported that she works for her parents. I would guess that she is not paid or paid less than they would have to pay if they hired someone which may save them more than she could make working elsewhere (you have to factor in benefits, payroll taxes, etc...).
As for Ashley, living in an area with a ton of military and retired military families, I can tell you that it is likely that her dad is receiving his military pension and has a full time job. The result is a very secure income.
I disagree that a computer and smartphone are not measures of wealth at least to some degree. I worked at DC public schools for two years very recently (2010-2012 school years). Well over half the kids in my high school classes did not have computers at home at all, much less their own. Smartphones were slightly more common (IMO bizarrely) but I'd still say no more than half had them. It was a huge problem with college applications for those who wanted to apply because they didn't have access to a computer and had to go to th epublic library to do so. Now I grant you, this was a poor school in the poorest area of DC, but all the same, people who think everyone has internet at home, even in America, are very sorely mistaken.
Uh...and my point was that the Nagasu family is likely in the middle class category economically not impoverished. Having a computer and smartphone does not mean a family is wealthy. The middle and lower middle class, however, routinely owns such things today. I did, in fact, in the post very clearly say that the Nagasu family is clearly NOT in deep poverty. You are talking about people who are. Apples and oranges, my friend. My point is that a family earning the median income in L.A. (which is a middle class income) would still be hard pressed to afford the astronomical expenses of elite figure skating. Sadly, this is not a sport for the masses because of the costs. Mirai's family can be in a position to really need her to get the most possible funding from USFSA without living in poverty.
I also made absolutely no assumption that every home in America has internet access. I am not ignorant. I taught high school for 16 years and certainly am aware of the challenges many families face. I also know people who live in rural areas where reliable cell phone service and broadband internet are still unavailable. Honestly, we don't even know that Mirai has full internet access at home. She may be like my relatives who use 3G or 4G smartphone access at home and access through wi-fi with laptops or tablets where free internet is available. But that is neither here nor there when we are talking about a sport that costs more per year than most Americans make.

The salsa with cilantro, red onion, avocado, and lime really puts this black bean chili over the top! |
Puree the third can of black beans with the tomatoes in a food processor or blender.
This recipe uses a generous amount of red onion, but some if for the salsa.
Dice the avocados and toss it with 1/4 cup lime juice.
Then stir in the rest of the chopped onion.
And this is the original photo for this recipe from back in 2008, actually not too bad for back then!
Black Bean and Beef Chili with Cilantro, Lime, and Avocado Salsa
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe adapted slightly from Fine Cooking Annual 2008.)
Thickening Ingredients:
3 cans black beans
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes
pinch ground Chipotle chile pepper (or one diced chile from a can of Chipotle Chiles in Adobo)
Chili Ingredients:
1 T olive oil (or more, depending on your pan)
1 lb. very lean ground beef (less than 10% fat)
1 cup very finely diced red onion
1 T or more regular chile powder (preferably New Mexico chile powder )
1 T or more ground Ancho chile pepper (Ancho chile powder adds great flavor, but can use more regular chile powder)
about 1/4 tsp. ground Chipotle chile pepper (Chipotles are smoked jalapenos, and the ground chipotle is very hot so use sparingly)
2 tsp. ground cumin (or more)
2 cups homemade beef stock or 1 can beef broth
2 T tomato paste
1/4 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice (I used my fresh-frozen lime juice)
Salsa Ingredients:
1 cup finely diced red onion (or less)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (I used my fresh-frozen lime juice)
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 avocados, finely diced
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste (I didn't use any salt)
In bottom of heavy soup pot, heat 1-2 tsp. olive oil and brown beef, using the back of the turner to break it into small pieces. Remove beef to bowl, then add a bit more olive oil and 1 cup red onion. Lower heat a little and cook onions until they are softened but not starting to brown. Add all the chile powders and cumin and saute about 30 seconds.
Add beef stock, browned ground beef, pureed bean mixture, drained beans from colander and tomato paste and simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes or longer. (I actually simmered my Chili at very low heat for nearly two hours. Halfway through the cooking time, taste to see if you want additional chile powder. I think chile powder is something you need quite a bit of in a dish like this.)
While Chili simmers, dice avocados and place in plastic bowl with 1/4 cup fresh lime juice. (I used Elise's method to chop the avocado inside the skin, which was easy and not messy.) Rinse and finely chop the cilantro. Mix 1 cup red onion and half the chopped cilantro (about 3/4 cup) into the avocado-lime juice mixture. (This can be kept in the refrigerator while the Chili cooks, but be sure to mix the lime juice with the avocado as soon as you cut it to keep the avocado from turning brown.)
Just before serving Chili, stir in the other 3/4 cup chopped cilantro and 1/4 cup lime juice and cook about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and black pepper if desired. Serve Chili hot, with a generous scoop of avocado salsa on top of each serving.
To adapt this recipe for Crockpot:
Reduce the beef stock to 1 or 1 1/2 cups (depending on how thick you want the chili. Use an extra tsp. of regular and ancho chile powder. (I wouldn't increase the chipotle chile powder; you can add hot sauce at the table if you want more heat.) Cook 3-4 hours on high or 7-8 hours on low (depending on how hot your Crockpot cooks.) Turn to low when you add the lime juice and cilantro.
South Beach Suggestions:
Superbowl Chili from the Past:
Two years ago I made Not Just for the Superbowl Chili and took it to a party at my brother Mark's house for the traditional Denny Family Superbowl Party. (It's a photo from my old camera, so the picture isn't the greatest, but that's a delicious Chili recipe too with beef, sausage, olives, mushrooms, and two kinds of beans.)

2D Magneto-Thermal Modeling of Coated High-Temperature Superconductors

Thin films are very promising for the design of novel and an efficient Fault Current Limiter (FCL) made of high-temperature superconductors (HTS). However, before considering the use of these in a power grid, their thermal and highly non-linear electromagnetic behavior in the presence of over-critical currents needs to be investigated in detail.
In this paper, we propose a numerical approach to solve magneto-thermal models for geometries of high aspect ratio. The used electromagnetic formulation inspired from the work of Brambilla et al., were performed in 2D using COMSOL Multiphysics.
Furthermore, the thermal part of our model has been implemented to consider the thermal exchange with the nitrogen bath needed for HTS-FCL operation.

I was dusting a while back when I found this porcelain panda on a bookshelf. I couldn't remember seeing him before (I'm assuming it's a boy panda), so I asked my wife about him.
She couldn't remember seeing him before, either.
"I think he was my grandmother's."
"Which one?"
"I don't know."
"How'd he get here?"
"I don't know."
"Can I sell him on eBay?"
I figured someone out there probably collects Goebel porcelain pandas, but no one wanted him.
He was kind of cute, so I put him on the shelf in Thing 2's room. Over the weekend, Thing 2 decided to clear his room of baby stuff (he's about to turn 7 and isn't a baby anymore), so the panda is now homeless again.
Clearly, the panda didn't magically appear in our home. Someone made a conscious decision to bring him in and place him on the shelf, probably because, at the time, he had sentimental value, although not enough that anyone can remember why we thought he was worth keeping.
I should go ahead and toss him, but I can't, because he's become the Panda We Keep Moving from Room to Room Because No One Wants Him. He has a backstory. He's become part of family lore.
Besides, look at those eyes. How could I throw out something with such big eyes?
