On an all too brief visit to our house in France last fall, we went to have lunch on the lovely sunny terrace of the restaurant of our friends Jérome and Claire Durand, À la Fraich' in Salies de Béarn. Claire makes the best pizzas anywhere for my taste: they have really thin crusts, not too heavy on the sauce and toppings, with a great variety of combinations. My personal favorite is the Imanol, named for their little boy, which includes Basque tomato/red bell pepper sauce, chorizo and raclette cheese from the Alps.
They had recently hired a new chef to make non-pizza menu items and on this particular day one of the appetizers was "Swedish marinated salmon", or what we know as gravadlax. I've been making this for years, but this iteration was a lovely light cure and came with a scrummy chive and dill sauce. The presentation was beautiful as well, and here it is.
I had that Imanol too, but was so eager to taste it I took the photo after I'd started! Note the spicy herb oil in the background – you may have seen that here in the Bistro or Suds.)
So anyway I've been working on it, and I think I've got it down. Here's how you do it.
Remove any remaining pin bones from the salmon with tweezers.
For an approx. one pound fillet of salmon (nice and thick, skin on) mix together 1 cup each of sugar and kosher salt. Add enough finely minced dill and freshly ground black pepper until it looks like this:
Then add just enough gin – I used my favorite Plymouth Gin – to make a dry crumbly paste.
Put a thin layer of the cure on the bottom of a container and layer the fish on top, skin side down, then cover the whole thing with the remaining cure. Some folks advocate sandwiching two pieces together with extra cure and dill in the middle, which would definitely be helpful if you were making a larger quantity.
Cover loosely and pop in the fridge for 10 – 12 hours or overnight. The next morning you'll see a lot of moisture has been extracted from the salmon. The easiest thing to do is rinse off the cure with water and pat dry – that way you stop the curing process before it removes too much liquid and leaves you with too firm gravadlax. Here it is!
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to a week – the curing retards spoilage.
Sauce: Mix heavy cream into sour cream just to thin it out a bit. Add minced dill, minced chives if you have them, black pepper and salt to taste, and a tiny squeeze of lemon.
Finely slice the gravadlax with your sharpest knife and serve with the sauce and toast: with friends at a shiny bar optional. Voilà!
We're thinking about trying this as a special at Bistro 151 soon – let us know what you think.
Then the boiler broke!
Actually it's amazing it held out as long as it did:
OK let's back up a bit to Saturday December 8th. We got a call from Scott that the boiler that heats the Inn and supplies hot water to the Inn had cracked and was useless. However, Brooks Brothers installed an electric hot water heater as a temporary measure: having the hot water heater installed allowed us to stay open since our restrooms and dishwasher would have enough hot water to satisfy public safety demands and we could continue to keep Suds open with the hot water needed by code. Luckily the outside temperature was then above freezing which gave us a couple of days to see if we could get a replacement.
Scott did a great job and not only managed to get a couple of initial quote, but also managed to track down someone who gave us a temporary fix by adding radiator dope of all things.
In the wee hours of Christmas eve morning we got the email that was expected but not wished for: dead as a dodo. But that temporary fix of two weeks previously turned out to be godsend.
Out of the four quotes we had got, Community Energy of Rumford who had installed the old boiler 28 years ago had come up trumps. The new furnace, albeit in its component parts, had arrived three days previously. Roger from Community Energy was already on site by the time we got the email; his team turned up around 6.30. Long story short, these guys were just awesome. They worked their butts off all day and deep into the evening (10 pm), cutting into precious family Christmas Eve time. At one point I saw one of them with a wrench in one hand and a slice of Suds pizza in the other! I can't recommend them highly enough.
The constituent parts:
A bit of wiring:
A little welding:
Also a word of thanks to our dining room and bistro patrons on Christmas eve, or "Furnace Day" as it will be known from now on!. We had 70 folk booked in for dinner service. By 1 pm, the main part of the Sudbury Inn was getting a bit chilly, so we started deploying space heater. Which sounds like a good idea, but frankly the wiring in a 139-year-old building can be a bit fragile: at one point every time we plugged in a heater the lights went out! So thank you for your patience and good humor in the face of radiators everywhere.
We are now 6 days into the reign of the new furnace, so far so good. Happy holidays to all, and keep thinking snow!
A quote from one of my favorite films: Almost Famous. And I'm starting to think we could actually be almost famous. After a busy day of finalizing pricing, getting the point of sale system installed at last, printing up menus, squaring away the bar, staff training and watching the kitchen team pulling out all the stops we flung open our doors to friends and colleagues from the Bethel area for a gala reception. You know the kind of thing: sparkling wine, complimentary food samples, etc, etc… At 5.15 pm it was game on.
Well, we drew a great crowd into our hopeful little Bistro 151. There was music from our good friends Lex and Joe (www.lexandjoe.com) doing their jazzy, bluesy thing (even some dancing), live ski racing from Europe on the big screen, good conversation and general all round conviviality. And wonderful to see so many smiling faces in what up until now has just been a physical room but also a concept in the making.
And the food! I knew it was going to be good 'cos the kitchen smelt divine, but it exceeded my expectations (and I hold high expectations). Peter emerged from the kitchen carrying a huge mirrored platter positively groaning with a vast selection of appetizer items, including some which may appear on future iterations of the bistro menu.
Robin floated through the room carrying the grilled jumbo shrimp and mango sauce. Courtney made sure the chafing dishes were kept filled with a selection of our hot items: the baseball filet for the Steak Frites, Quiche Lorraine, Mediterranean Crôute (rhymes with shoot, in case you wanted to know), and that glorious smelling Bistro Chicken: see pictures below. Sneaker and Bobby manned the bar, well manfully.
I'm pretty sure everyone had a good time, and it was great to spend time with some of our very good friends.
So I think we are ready to go. Doors open to the public at 3 pm; we would love to have you join us!
"I have to go home." "You ARE home!"
Grilled shrimp:
Marinated olives, bread and dips:
Bistro Chicken:
Tuesday morning, December 18th, two days to go, and I must confess I do have butterflies in my tummy. It veers between excitement and "what were we thinking"! But hey, it'll be alright on the night I'm sure.
It was a gorgeous day here in Bethel yesterday. It snowed all day which is not only pretty, but also great news for those of us who find ourselves making a living in a winter resort town. I guess we ended up with 8 or 9 inches on the other side of it and the precipitation finally stopped around 6 this morning. (Many thanks, by the way to the fine folk at Cross Excavation who sent their plow guy down our driveway shortly thereafter.) And sitting at the bar in Bistro 151 doing a wine tasting and watching World Cup downhill skiing on the big TV was quite nice too! Also Peter kept feeding me with menu items, specifically the salad lyonaise – this boy can poach a perfect egg I tell you – and a new pâté.
So, tonight we have all the staff coming in to check out the food and the space. Before that we need to get the point of sale system installed and add the new menu items and prices (a hold-over from yesterday as they didn't feel like driving in the snow – lightweights!), sort out the napkins, go through the final menu costings with Peter, decide on our opening night wine specials, get the menus printed, put something on the new chalk board, work with our web site guy Brian Beaudry, and maybe go to Oxford for supplies. Piece of cake.
Tomorrow we have the Bethel Chamber of Commerce coming in for breakfast, and then we've invited friends and colleagues in town to drop by in the evening so we can show ourselves off. Scott has managed to get the fabulous Lex and Joe to come a provide some blues and jazz to get us in the mood, so I think it'll be a good time.
Curtain rises 5.30 pm Thursday – break a leg!
We will be opening Thursday 20th December!
Oh boy it's been a long road, including a broken furnace, but we are finally ready to open.
As you can see we now have a name and a logo. Explanation of the name: well, we are located at 151 Main Street in Bethel Maine. Explanation of the logo: those of you who have been to Paris (France, not Maine) might recognize the font as it's stolen from the gorgeous Belle Epoque signs on the Paris subway, or "Métropolitain").
We think it fits in well with what we want to offer you here: simple French bistro food that Steve and I love to eat when we're "away". Think bistro salads, pâté, steak frites, coq au vin: all home made right in our kitchen by Peter and the team. And you know what, if you want to choose something from either the Suds or the dining room menus that's just fine by us. Throw in hi-def TV's and free wi-fi, and we hope you'll love it!
The plan is to run training for the staff on Tuesday 18th and we are having friends and family here Wednesday night. Then we will be opening for our first service at 5.30 on Thursday 20th and running straight through until January 2nd. (The exception being Christmas eve and day when we will be offering our special holiday menu from 5 until 8 pm). Initially we'll just be open for breakfast and dinner, but hopefully once we've worked the kinks out we'll be able to offer lunch too.
The room looks frankly gorgeous with its mix of bar seating, high tops and lower tables, and it's already being used by Sudbury Inn guests for breakfast.
Sneaker will be our bar tender – you know him from lunch at Suds I'm sure – and sneakers and jeans are the order of the day (to quote some dear friends who run Oliver's restaurant in England "all we ask is that you don't turn up naked!").
Anyway we'd love to see you: check out the opening menu below.

What a great week it's been. We finally made it back to Bethel Maine on Sunday afternoon. Naturally one of the first things we did was to swing by the Sudbury Inn to peek in on the bar room work. Holy moly! I guess one of the first things that struck me was how imposing it is; as you walk in through the front door of the inn there's this lovely glowing edifice that is our new bar. It's a little bigger than I expected, but it just looks so good. Closer inspection reveals that Gary and his carpentry team have done an absolutely wonderful job on the wood work, and have rightly signed their names on this work of art; I snapped this picture right away as I know it will be covered up very soon.
For those of you who are familiar with Suds Pub downstairs, the bistro bar is of the same design with the same scroll work around the edges.
But unlike Suds with its low bar and chairs, the new one will be higher and be surrounded by 14 or 16 high bar stools (42" bar height with 31" chairs, if you must know). There will also be an nice rail for you to pop your feet on when you are sitting there. Like Suds, the bar will be kept in all its natural woody glory, with the expectation that once varnished it will mellow to a gorgeous patina as time goes on.
During the rest of the week, all the remaining plumbing for the coolers was completed by our good friends at Brooks Bros, the 4-beer kegerator has been installed by Pine State, and Gary has installed the shelving on the inside of the bar top. The outsides of the bar have had their first coat of primer. And the first of our two TVs is in the house.
The bar chairs, a lovely rich mahogany with black upholstery, came Thursday and are currently sitting inside 14 Clark Street. A quick double check confirmed that the height is just right.
Then on Friday afternoon, the first coat of poly went onto the bar itself. The aroma was heady, as you would expect (we left the windows open all night), but the effect on the wood is spectacular!
On the menu front, we're working closely with Peter and the culinary staff on our special classic bistro menu. Once we've pinned the food down we'll let you know, but suffice it to say that the tastings are going very well. And hey, if you have suggestions for a favorite bistro dish you'd like to eat here just let us know; you can either post a comment to this blog or on our Facebook page, or email us at email@example.com.
Stay tuned for details of that food and when we are planning to open up – I can say it will be before Christmas, but we just need to check our project plan so we can firm up the actual launch date. In the meantime, if you are joining us for Thanksgiving lunch in the dining room or Suds feel free to peer in and see what we think is going to be a wonderful space.
Painting and clean-up are in progress, more photos to follow …
Soonest, Ali.
Good grief so much got achieved on Friday. We now have all our appliances, so the plumber will be here on Monday to connect everything up.
We also had our carpentry experts in:
- the bar face has now had its paneling installed – remember the panels will be in pale yellow and the trim white
- the actual wooden bar top was hand built in situ, including a beautiful bit of joinery at the corner
- the roll work for the bar edge, again handmade by our master carpenter, has been added
I have to say that our construction team, coordinated by Bob Lausier and our general contractor John Kimball, has been absolutely superb. A massive thank you to them all!
Peter will be back from his vacation this weekend, so next week we will now also start work crafting a menu that will match our beautiful new bistro room. Some new things, and the return of a few stone cold Sudbury Inn classics by popular request!
Ali and Steve have at last made it back to the USA, New York City specifically. Gazing out of the window from the plane as we came into Newark NJ yesterday afternoon you really couldn't get any sense of the devastation from Sandy. But then we turn on the local news and hear reports of 20 storey apartment buildings in Queens with no power and only one leaky fire hydrant for water, and restaurants on Staten Island with boats and docks inside the bar room. Add in friends and neighbors who have lost entire homes and sometimes their only means of making a living and I realize how blessed I am to be whole and finally on my way home to my friends in Bethel Maine. Tomorrow, fingers crossed.

Jay Z's speech tribute to Beyonce
Jay Z paid tribute to ''beautiful'' wife Beyonce and joked he had a ''gold sippy cup'' for daughter Blue Ivy at last night's (26.01.14) Grammy Awards.
Jay Z thanked God for his ''beautiful'' wife Beyonce at the Grammy Awards.
The 44-year-old rapper - who opened last night's (26.01.14) ceremony with a performance of 'Drunk in Love' with his spouse - dedicated his win for Best/Rap Sung Collaboration for 'Holy Grail' featuring Justin Timberlake to the singer and their two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.
He said: ''I want to thank God, I mean, a little bit for this award, but also all the universe for conspiring and for putting that beautiful light of a young lady in my life.''
Holding his golden gramophone statue aloft, he added: ''I want to tell Blue, 'Look, Daddy got a gold sippy cup for you!'''
When he first took to the stage, Jay jokingly threw mock punches at Jamie Foxx, who was presenting the trophy, after the singer-and-actor spent much of his opening speech praising Beyonce for her sexy performance with her husband earlier in the evening.
Jamie had said he had to apologise to the rapper backstage because ''Blue Ivy's mom is hot.''
During their opening performance at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Beyonce had donned just a sheer bodysuit, glittering bra, skimpy thong, and crystal-studded fishnets teemed with wet-look hair for the duet.
She began the track on a chair with her back to the audience before her spouse appeared in a cloud of smoke.
The 32-year-old beauty got up from the chair to dance seductively with her spouse, running her hands along his butt and legs before they shared a kiss mid-song.

The 1819-20 season was the first under the management of Willis Jones and James T. G. Rodwell who bought the theatre for 25,000 guineas from John Scott. Lee, who had been employed by Robert W. Elliston, became stage manager. With Mrs. W. S. Chatterley, formerly of the English Opera House, he delivered an opening address written by William Moncrieff. The theatre was refurbished extensively. A new gas chandelier suspended from the dome was the "subject of universal admiration." The new owners' theatre was dark for 18 days because of the deaths of the Duke of York (1 day), King George III (16 days), and Ash Wednesday (1 day).
The newly purchased theatre opened its first season as the Adelphi on 18 October 1819, with performances of The Green Dragon; or, I've Quite Forgot and Tom Thumb. The company now included James P. Wilkinson, Joe Cowell (from Drury Lane), and Miss Eliza Scott of the Haymarket. The Misses Dennett were on hand to introduce, as E. L. Blanchard put it "graceful dances between the pieces."
One of the featured actresses this season was Mrs. Frances Alsop, a daughter of the famous Mrs. Jordan. Reviewers of her early Covent Garden performances found her much inferior to her mother: "Her singing is sweetly expressive, and she sweeps the light chords of the harp with a truly tasteful finger. Her proportions are diminutive without neatness, and her features alike divested of grace and intelligence" (Theatrical Inquisitor, May 1817, pp. 323-24).
Rather extravagant staging took place, particularly in works such as The Fairy of the North Star; or, Harlequin at Labrador, first performed 27 December 1819. This pantomime involved 16 scenes with a view of the palace of Labrador, a view of Dover, a medical laboratory, and a country inn, the "Rose and Crown."
Some pieces were not greeted with the kindness of genteel applause. Love and Chase, performed 6 December 1819, was referred to as "an agreeable bagatelle ably supported by the talents of Messrs. Reeve, Wilkinson, and Chatterley, the last was less somnambulant than usual" (LTM Scrapbook).
The theatre was not devoid of charitable feelings towards those less fortunate outside its doors. For example, the performance on 19 January 1820, of Run For Your Life had the whole of its "receipts go to the City Charitable Fund for the houseless poor. The Lord Mayor attended as special patron" (LTM Scrapbook). In the British Stage, February 1820, the following cutting comment is recorded: "A benefit was appropriated to the aid of the fund for the houseless Poor, on the 19th of January, when the receipts were L101..7s..6d. Yet this is a minor Theatre, which the Drury-Lane Manager, whose vast contribution amounted to but little more, would willingly supress, as a nuisance."
Again, there was royal interest in the theatre. The bill for The Fairy of the North Star; or, Harlequin at Labrador on 27 January 1820, announces: "The Prince Regent has been graciously pleased to command that this theatre shall be opened every evening, as usual, excepting that of the Royal Funeral."
The season closed on 25 March 1820, with Rochester; or,
King Charles the Second's Merry Days and Ivanhoe; or,
The Saxon Chief.

"Finn Rap Battle" instrumental track from Billy's Bucket List
Composed by storyboard artist/writer Jesse Moynihan
from Jesse:
Finn goes head to head with Rap Bear in the Adventure Time episode "Billy's Bucket List". This is the instrumental track I wrote for it.
I like orchestra hits.
"Lemonhope's Got Feet" demo from Lemonhope: Part One
written by Leslie Wolfhard
lyrics by storyboard artist Steve Wolfhard andLeslie Wolfhard
That's Leslie on the piano and Steve providing the vocals.
As i've said before, It was amazing to get to write a song for Al Yankovic. (I even got to go in and help direct Al while he sung! Not that there was much to correct, Al was so professional He came in with pre-made sheet music of the song (which he gave to me after the record).
Originally I wanted the song to be sort of an early beach boys song, but i ended up just using something pretty catchy that i plunked out on the guitar that I was immediately able to conjure up lyrics to. I ran the lyrics and song by Cole the next day and he helped me rewrite it to be much funnier and fit more in line with the Bananaman's character.
Here's my demo version. Please forgive my singing.
p.s. Al Yankovic is a super nice guy.

A number cake pan is often a metal baking pan formed in the shape of a number. Cakes shaped like numbers are popular for birthdays, anniversaries and other celebration milestones, such as the number of years a company has been in business. The number cake pan is also perfect for making a tribute cake paying homage to a sports figure, such as a football player or race car driver. The cakes can also be used to celebrate the arrival of a new year.
Some number cake pan variations are one-piece molds designed to produce a flat cake, with the number protruding from the top. Other number pans are simply outlines of the numbers themselves, without an attached sheet cake. The number cakes can be used individually, or placed side by side to create two- and three-digit numbers, or even larger. It is typically best to use the same size and style of cake pans when making numbers that will be displayed together.
Number cake pans come in a variety of materials, including non-stick metal and heat-proof plastic. Another variation to the number cake pan is an aluminum set that includes a pan and several four-sided cubes. The pan has a grid on the bottom with squares the same size as the hollow cubes. The cubes can be arranged in the grid to block out negative spaces around the desired number or numbers. When the cake batter is poured into the pan, it will fill in around the cubes and form a relief of the designated number.
The number-shaped pans are often available individually and in sets. Many number cake pan sets use the numbers six and nine interchangeably by rotating the figure, so only one of the numbers is included with most zero-through-nine sets. The size of the number pans — including height and depth — varies among manufacturers and the pans are typically offered in small, medium and large sizes. Matching letter or alphabet sets are often available to accompany similarly-ized number sets.
Decorating techniques for the number cakes made with a cake pan are strictly a matter of preference. Some bakers simply apply a single frosting to the entire area, while others add intricate details, such as flowers, bordering the entire outside edge of the number. Frosting and cake decorations can be applied in the same manner as similar birthday sheet cakes, including writing out a person's name or a congratulatory message.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

He just went 1200-965-795 @308 (279?). Cant wait to see the video
Projections of a 1000 lb bench almost come true. Wonder just how far this guy can push it?
Simply amazing!!
He's superman. It's just crazy.
That's fuckin absurd!
he is half man, half robot.
I was there. It was another virtuoso performance. He was close with the 1000. I have videos I will post.
Huge lifting. Next up is beating Donnie's Total
Video link
Dave is just on another level completely. His technique is flawless. He's very laid back in the warmup room but he flips the switch when he hits the platform. Super agressive.
I really doubt you'll see another like Dave in the future. he's a absolutely amazing powerlifter.
Heres Dave's 1st Bench attempt of 925
Dave has to be from another planet! He's really unbelievable!!!
I know the squat and DL are impressive.. but my mind is boggled on his benches.. 1000lbs bench in a full meet is amazing.
Dave Hoff is an amazing individual and a phenomenal powerlifter. I can't wait to see what he does next... heck, the kid is only 23 years old. He has so much more to give!

I stayed in this hotel in October, not the high season, but the price was nevertheless quite high. It was difficult to find the location, because the address is not stated clearly and I had to ask several times, even if I know Cannes quite well and the town is not huge. It is situated in a small room, very close to the central Rue d'Antibes. My room was very large and also the bathroom was very large. However the cleanliness is just enough and there was a tube of the air conditioning (even if off in October) that was loosing water, drop after drop. Just in front of the hotel there is a well known pub, so this can be good if you like these places, but this also mean that you hear people talking from the street until late in the night (not so loud however, because I was in an high floor). Sound insulation is not good either and the second night I could sleep just a bit, because in the room at the side there was a young couple having sex all the night long. Staff was very formal and cold.

Mercyhurst University is making history, tonight.
During a 24-hour event called EnduROWthon, they broke not one, but two world records. The event began Thursday, at 9:00 p.m.
The men's rowing team had 24 hours to break the record for the greatest distance rowed by a light-weight team. They accomplished it by 6:30 p.m. Friday. By 9:00 p.m. the team reached over 451,000 meters. The original record, was 406,000 meters.
Meanwhile, the other record for the largest number of people rowing on one machine in 24 hours, was broken at 10:45 a.m. By 9:00 p.m. nearly 600 people took part. According to event organizers, the former record was 352 people, which was set last summer in Poland.
Mercyhurst Men's Rowing Coach Adrian Spracklen calls these accomplishments, a win-win for everyone.
"This is a proud day for Erie, for Mercyhurst University, and obviously for the rowing team," said Spracklen. "It's nice that something of this magnitude happened, that people can get excited about it, and be proud of. I want people to be proud of what we did in Erie today."
The men's row team is made up of 30 athletes, but only 10 were allowed to participate under Guinness World Records guidelines.

You've gone through all these scenarios in such a way that you're leading everyone to the conclusion you wish (a green light to have a baby...you even dissed your sister and implied that dad may not live to see YOUR child)....Some might call this manipulation!
But you're an aspiring Psychology student...wonderful! Then why are you allowing you boyfriend to beg for a child...he's manipulating you now.
But of your Dad.....do you want to give him that heart attack? Then have a kid out of wedlock...that will do it!
And you mom....has she done such a terrible job that you wish to rush and shun her good advice (the only thing she's wrong about is marrying into money). That won't make you happy.....just make life easier.
But your mom is exactly right. In college you're going to be exposed to more people. You're going to get your degree and you'll be a little older and wiser. Traditionally people break up before going to college and there is a good reason for that: FREEDOM....Freedom to find out who you really are and to explore. IF you're let's say 18 and you've been dating this guy for 7 years...that means you were about 11 years old.....that's not a relationship....that's puppy love! I'll bet he's a few years older too.
So it sounds like I'm being harsh but I'm really trying to give you some positive advice. Which is: Mother knows best!!
Trust others on this: Your perception of things is likely to change dramatically in the next 5 years. There is no rush to having kids these days. Most people are now waiting until their 30s.....to have some fun...enjoy life a little, become more established, settled and to give their kids a better life.
Sorry I didn't see it the way you were leading or if it sounded harsh. It's your life....do what you feel....but consider the others. A mother would never knowingly give "Bad" advice....consider that!
please don't say sorry, I put this on here to get advice and have some people that don't know me and my whole life and wouldn't be influenced in any kind of way to say a certain thing. This is exactly what I needed. I really do appreciate it.

I can think of a lot worse things than being snowed in here. Fingers crossed it actually happens.
It's almost completely melted now, but this was a nice start to the day.
Morning walk in the snow.
It's really coming down now. Side note: Sirens in the background are proof I live in a really tough neighborhood.
Photo of the Day: E. Jason Wambsgans for The Chicago Tribune: "Abandoned vehicles litter northbound Lake Shore Drive." Feb. 2, 2011.
(via homewrecked)
Took a walk today to survey the damage of snowpocalypse 2011. Here are some photos I took. Honestly, a little disappointed with the level of destruction. Hopefully, we get some serious accumulation tonight. Although, I do need to get to Chicago by Friday…so I'm conflicted.
"Snowpocalypse" is the word of the minute if you live in the Midwest right now. I've heard/read it 100 times today. Also, a facebook event for it? Seriously?

So, since all of this has come from the hands (mind) of a powerful being out of our reach currently... and since we heroes (each of us) both on Horde and Alliance recognize the threat that happened; Why are are still fighting? Why aren't we coming up with some crazy idea to pull Sargeras through the nether to us and muff him up?
Am I looking at this with too much knowledge outside of the story? I guess I should be asking other questions first. Are there others who are aware of the intentions originally set by Medivh (Sargeras) or not? Our intentions through factions are placed on war provided by that one event. With awareness of what had happened can change the outcome in the future, I guess with the exception of the undead since their basis for everything is to see everyone dead. Any more insight to this? Anyone else care??

Well we learned from the Elemental Bonds quest chain that Thrall wants peace between the Horde and Alliance. Unfortunately though, Garrosh is now the warchief and I think peace is the last thing on his To-do list.
arawn.chernobog said...
Actually the conquest of Gilneas has a strong reason behind it, it's a powerful strategic point in a mostly Horde-dominated region (Northern Eastern Kingdoms), granted the races that dominate the region (Forsaken and Sin'Dorei) are hardly trustworthy by Horde standards, the Gilnean Peninsula, however, would provide the Horde with a strong Port location to proceed with the naval bombardment and deployment of troops throughout the Western Border of the Southern Eastern Kingdoms, thus allowing for rapid naval and land warfare without the need of lengthy air or sea transportation from Kalimdor.
Simply put, the Conquest of Gilneas gives the Horde a stern hold over an entire half of the Eastern Kingdoms and the ability to strike the entire southern half by Land, Sea and Air with no drawbacks, it's the perfect assault plan - And not necessarily Thrall's idea, it definitely came from the higher ups in the Horde's military division (Kor'kon or even Warsong Clan) but we have no idea if Thrall came up with the plan.
MusedMoose said...
I think that, since Sargeras isn't actively attacking Azeroth, it's hard to get the Horde and Alliance to put their differences aside and focus on defeating him. We know that it's possible - it happened when Arthas attacked, it happened at AQ - but when there's no clear and present threat, both sides tend toward fighting each other.
paul.morales91 said...
You're barking up the wrong tree pal. Playing through the Worgen starting area, from what i could tell, invading gilneas was all Sylvanas's idea. True, the orcs had no trouble aiding in the assault, but that was under Garrosh's rule, not Thrall's.
As a side note, i think Thrall's pretty much done apologizing. If you've played the Elemental Bonds questline in Hyjal (especially the fire part) then you know what im talking about. Besides, Thrall's tried to make peace with Varian numerous times, nearly all of which were thwarted by Garrosh.
Garrosh...everything seems to go back to Garrosh...
I always imagined the horde an alliance, humans and orcs more specifically, as the Soviet Union and the United States. Both of them worked together to defeat the greater threat, Nazi Germany. But as soon as that conflict was over tensions between the two rose greatly simply because every single ideal each nation held was the total opposite of the others. There was no way there was ever going to be peace between the two until one of them was gone. Which is just how the humans and orcs are.
If you think about it from the humans perspective a bunch of aliens just came in and killed your entire family, then you finally get done grieving and all of the sudden here are the aliens again and they just killed everyone you've ever known. Finally through much grief counseling you start a new family and are on heavy meds to keep you from having horrific nightmares of your friends heads on pikes when out of nowhere zombies come and eat your unborn child right out of your wife.
Now those zombies and those aliens are playing on the same team? How could you ever put aside a hatred that intense to look at the world from their point of view when the two people that just murdered everyone you've ever know now appear to be friends and also trying to kill you for the fourth time? Maybe some people can put aside the past to work towards the future, but I know the vast majority of the population will just want blood for the innocent blood that has been spilled; regardless of whatever kind of backstory those aliens and zombies have.

Great Halloween Crafts
You may not know this, based on the tone of my summer time Burning Daylight series. I like doing things with my kids I just don't like doing things with my kids 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Which is what my kids think life should be like in the summer: a non-stop stream of F-U-N in the form of crafts and outings and candy.
It's no longer summer though and now that the kids are in school our ability to do crafts together is a little more limited. I thought I'd share with you some great ideas I found and have filed under "Halloween To-Do When We Have A Minute".
First up is Scrumdilly Do, you may remember these girls helped me through the summer with a few Burning Daylight projects and for that I am eternally grateful. They've got great Halloween Marshmallows right now, this is a post I wish I would have read before making our cupcakes. These flattened, cut into shapes and then painted marshmallows would have been great fun for the kids to make and a little more exciting than the store bought and rock hard marshmallow shapes I ended up putting on our cupcakes. There's still time though since we have one more party to attend.
I usually like to keep under 20 messages in my email inbox, more than that leaves me feeling frazzled. I currently have over 300 messages in my inbox. This means I am feeling frazzled and that I've forgotten the name of the nice lady who emailed asking if I'd ever written about a shrunken head craft.
I have not written about shrunken heads, until now. The often missed, Loobylu did at Kiddley last Halloween. She has left us great instructions and even an update (no mold!) for creating your own carved head out of an apple.
Please do not ask me why, but it truly never occurred to me to make those clever glass pebble magnets with kids. Thankfully Little Elephants did, with a Halloween theme. If you read the comments I even had my very own idea (!!!) What about attaching a ring to the back of your glass pebble and creating a fabulous Halloween ring?
Of course I have yet to try this but when I do, you'll be the first to know.
Keep refreshing this page until then.

Such a bad idea at such a late point in the day.zcsharp - Lead dnf - 08/Mar/14 with Alex Tibbs
Wanted to do for years, and finally ticked! Better than I thought. Underprotected 5b moves, followed by a reasonably protected 5c, then very well-protected and tough 6a. To arrange pros was pretty tiring. The head wall is 4b according to the definitive guide (2000, the description of Samson), but it is a joke! The one move was the most technical move in the entire route for me, a shortie - hard 6a (to be fair the reach matters a lot in the move, nevertheless I can't imagine it is easier than 5a for any one). Overall, a very good and full-on route. Top-end E2?masa-alpin - Lead O/S - 24/Aug/13 with Andy Rich
Damned hard! Tall people might find the crux, (the flakes imo), very hard. Harder than they looked.
If you fall off the crux, (even your 2nd) you may not be able to get back on the route! ...well unless you have a set of nuts and a reasonable sized friend handy. See vertical limit for further instructions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxtg7raPDYo ;-)sshandy - 2nd dog - 24/Aug/13 with Masa

A bit apprehensive knowing that Phil and Brian didn't manage to get yo this and it does look hard. Got a bit gripped on the balancy start as some of the holds were wet. Spent a while contemplating the crux and reversed it after a half hearted initial attempt. The went for it and it was fine. Nice moves to get onto the slab as well.

Beautiful sequence, with a safe but committing crux on perfect rock. Opted out of the E4 finish - need to bring up a camalot 3 (it looks like) to protect it. Maybe next time. It is a truly inspiring line, so lots of people keen to second. About right for E2 6a according to second's consensus, though it felt 5c to me, for whatever reason.

East Brother Light Station was built in 1873 as an aid to mariners in the San Pablo/San Francisco Bays. After many years as an automated station, and under threat of destruction and replacement with a light on a pole in the middle of the island, the facility was taken over by a non-profit 501 c3 California Corporation under license from the US Coast Guard.
Saving East Brother Light Station and making it accessible for the public to enjoy was a labor of love for many people. They, as well as the hundreds of others who also supported the project in smaller ways, can be justifiably proud of what their labors and donations have achieved. Click here to learn how you can help.
Click here to view the book.
This book was commissioned by the Board of Directors of East Brother Light Station, Inc., as a tribute to all who worked to make the project possible. But particularly, I would like to recognize the contributions of a few very special people: Lucretia Edwards and the women of the Contra Costa Shoreline Parks Committee who initially saved East Brother from destruction by successfully nominating it to the National Register of Historic Places; Commander Joseph Blackett and Wayne Wheeler of the Coast Guard who encouraged us and trusted us with government property; The Monday Morning Gang who continue to maintain and improve the island's facilities; and finally to Walter Fanning, engineer, carpenter, innkeeper, machinist, and skipper, who can do almost anything better than anyone I have ever known. His talents and dedication continue to be an inspiration to us all. Thomas K. Butt President, East Brother Light Station, Inc.
With intriguing backgrounds in television production, entrepreneurship and acting, Richard and Jude look forward to all of the different guests they will be servicing, entertaining and meeting at East Brother Light Station. As Bay Area locals, the two reside in the Berkeley Marina, aboard "Mariposa", their grand 43' cruising trawler when not tending to the island.
Richard graduated from the University of Houston obtaining a B.A. in Journalism then continued on to Boston University to receive a M.S. in Business Administration. After founding two video production companies in Dallas and Seattle and producing many nationwide video teleconferences, Richard went on to obtain a U.S.C.G Master of Steam or Motor Vessels License as well as a PADI Certified Open Water Diver license. From there Richard became a sailing instructor for Club Nautique as well as a Captain at Commodore Events.
Jude received a BA in Theater Arts at San Francisco State University and then continued on to the Neuro Linguistic Institute of California to receive her license as a Master Practitioner. She then helped start a non-profit theater company, working as a director and actress for a number of different plays. Jude has enjoyed the spontaneity of theater life and compares it to her life on the island. "We have a new season of fruits, vegetables, and people all the time, so I work to bring them all together to create an artistic, delicious and memorable time."
Please join us in welcoming them both.
East Brother Light Station was built in 1873 as an aid to mariners in the San Pablo / San Francisco Bays.

There's a reason why governments were typically the ones who erected and maintained them, they're the only ones who could afford the upkeep! Not having any governmental resources, in order to raise money for preservation and maintenance, we operate a Dinner, Bed & Breakfast Inn on the island in the old lighthouse building four nights a week.
The keepers of old were nicknamed "Wickies" because of all of the time they spent trimming the wicks of the oil lamp so to keep the light burning strong and bright. While the old oil lamps are now history, the work of the lighthouse remains constant. Unfortunately, the proceeds from the operation of the Inn are not enough to do the whole job of preservation and restoration. As much of the maintenance of the facilities as possible is done by the volunteer group, the Wickies. There is need for all sorts of volunteers amongst the East Brother Light Station "Wickies" of today.
We have needs in every area, and donations of nearly all kinds can be useful. We especially need skilled people in diesel mechanics, construction, electricians, plumbers and donations of parts and equipment. Tasks include painting, gardening, carpentry, inventorying; whatever your skills or energy level, there's a place for you.
To become an EBLS Wickie, begin by registering on the web site so you'll receive the monthly invite to the work party.
Workdays are usually the second Saturday of the month, weather permitting. Each month, an "e-Vite" is sent out to all of the registered Wickies via e-mail. We have a limited number of available spaces on the workdays, so if you are able to join us, respond to the eVite as quickly as you can. When you respond, you'll be able to see whether or not you're on the confirmed list or on a waiting status. (If you're on the confirmed list, and discover later that you can't make it, please go back to the eVite to change your status so that someone else can take that place.
Workdays begin at 0900 with the short boat ride to the Island. We come back ashore by 4:00 PM the same afternoon.

"It's late afternoon when I arrive – in time to watch the sunset – so I climb the spiral staircase leading up the lighthouse tower to a walkway. . .The view puts me in a philosophical mood: I can't help but think of the lighthouse as a beacon of hope. . ."

OMG! I Forgot Valentine's Day!
And it made me feel like the worst mom in the world.
Momlogic's Julie: When my first-born was two, he started preschool. I knew the class was having a Valentine's party ... but it didn't occur to me that I would need to buy Valentine's Day cards until February 13 at 10 PM.
After my son had gone to sleep that night, I found a crumpled piece of paper at the bottom of his backpack. It was a class list for the Valentines. SH*T, I FORGOT THE VALENTINES! I threw on some sweats and hauled butt to the nearest grocery store. No luck. They were out of valentines. Did the clerk give me a look of pity ... or disgust? Hard to tell. But I already felt bad enough.
She said to try the drugstore, open 24 hours.
I went there and the Valentine's Day aisle was nearly empty. All they had were two boxes of Bratz valentines. I couldn't in good conscience send my SON to school with Bratz valentine's, could I?
There were a few other parents milling about, looking as lost and desperate as I was.
I went to the greeting card aisle. More people looking desperate and frantic. No preschool-appropriate cards there, either.
I hit the office supply aisle for some red construction paper. They were all out. Guess I wasn't the first person to have that idea.
I felt defeated. I was the worst mom in the world.
In desperation, I ended up buying brown paper lunch bags, filling them with candy, and then cutting a heart out of the top and tying the bags with a red bow.
That would just have to be good enough.
And you know what? It was. He didn't even know the difference.
But ever since, I always buy the valentines EXTRA early. With a little luck, I will never have to make that February 13 walk of shame again!
Have YOU ever forgotten your kids' class valentines?
Glad I'm not the only one! I didn't forget the valentines this year but I did neglect to notice they don't have teacher cards in the boxes anymore. We ended up making cards for my son's teachers, hopefully they will be good for some extra brownie points :)

THURSDAY, Oct. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Women with breast implants shouldn't worry that breast-feeding will cause sagging, according to a new study.
Many women worry that breast-feeding could change the appearance of their breasts, "particularly after they invested in a breast augmentation," said study author Dr. Norma Cruz, a professor of plastic surgery at the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine in San Juan.
The study of nearly 120 mothers with breast implants found that breast-feeding was not a significant risk factor for breast sagging. "Women are free to breast-feed without the concern of affecting the appearance of their breast augmentation," Cruz said. Since nursing is beneficial for a mother's and child's overall health, it's important to convey this message to new mothers, she said.
Another study in women without breast implants also showed breast-feeding was not a significant risk factor for breast sagging, she added.
The results of the new study were scheduled for presentation Thursday at the meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in San Diego.
Dr. Jeffrey Salomon, an assistant clinical professor of plastic surgery at Yale University School of Medicine, said breast implants do not interfere with a women's ability to breast-feed. The implants are placed under the breast gland, either above or under the pectoralis muscle, he said.
"There is no disruption of the breast gland or the milk ducts to the nipple in either instance," Salomon said.
The most common cause of sagging breasts are breast changes after pregnancy, Salomon said. "These changes are related to the diminished production of the hormones that enlarge the breasts during the pregnancy," he said.
During pregnancy, breast tissue is engorged and expanded. After childbirth, the levels of these hormones are vastly reduced and the breasts deflate, resulting in sagging, Salomon said.
For the study, Cruz compared changes in breast measurements of 57 women with implants who breast-fed for more than six months on average with 62 similar women who didn't breast-feed. Measurements were taken before pregnancy and one year after pregnancy or one year after completing breast-feeding.
Cruz found no significant changes in these measurements or in sagging between women who did or didn't breast-feed.
Although breast measurements and sagging did increase, this was because of changes related to pregnancy, not nursing, she said.
"This study should be comforting to women with implants who decide to breast-feed, and they should rest assured that their risk of postpartum sagging breasts is not significantly different than the degree of breast sagging in breast-augmented women who do not elect to breast-feed," Salomon said.
Findings presented at meetings are considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.
