Generation III
Anabel hears rumors of the player's rankings in the Battle Tower, but she is not impressed. She wants to see their talent in battle for herself. She appears after 35 consecutive wins in Single Battle mode only. When defeated, she awards the Ability Symbol onto the Frontier Pass.
On the second match after 70 consecutive wins in Single Battle mode, Anabel commends the player's progress and is grateful for the chance to battle without holding anything back.
She is one of the two known Tower Tycoons, the other one being Palmer of the Battle Tower in the Sinnoh region.
Generation VII
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Ten years prior to the events of Sun and Moon, Anabel was found unconscious on a Poni Island beach by Looker and Nanu, who had just completed a mission for the International Police. She had lost most of her memories, only able to tell them her name, that she came from Hoenn, that she protected a tower there, and that she was a powerful Trainer. After being placed in the care of the International Police, they detected incredible amounts of Ultra Wormhole energy coming from her, implying that she was a Faller who was lost in a wormhole for a significant time. Anabel has never been informed of this, however.
Anabel eventually joined the International Police herself and quickly ascended the ranks, until she ended up as Looker's superior in the UB Task Force, a secret division of the International Police that deals with Ultra Beasts. After the player becomes Champion in Pokémon Sun and Moon, they will meet Anabel and Looker when they visit the Route 8 motel on Akala Island.
When the player meets Anabel and Looker, the pair recruit the player to the UB Task Force. Although one of the task force's duties is to either safeguard or destroy the Ultra Beasts, neither Anabel nor Looker wishes to harm them, so they need the help of the new Champion of Alola. Anabel will also battle the player to ensure that they are up to the job.
The group proceeds to track down and catch Ultra Beasts across all four of Alola's islands. After the player catches the first, Nihilego, Anabel arranges for the player to keep the Ultra Beasts, rather than delivering them to the International Police where they would end up as research subjects. During each mission, Anabel's job is to protect nearby populated areas with the assistance of her Pokémon. As the missions continue, however, Anabel starts to show signs of fatigue. Apparently, the Ultra Beasts are being drawn to her strongly as a Faller and becoming extremely aggressive toward her, which is only exacerbated when there are multiple of them that can assail her simultaneously. In the last mission, Looker finally misdirects her away from the action so that she can recover her strength.
After all of the Ultra Beasts have been caught, the International Police HQ grants Anabel and Looker paid leave until they receive their next orders. Anabel plans to go meet with Nanu again and then spend her time sightseeing around Alola.
Anabel can later be encountered again as a Trainer in the Battle Tree, primarily using Pokémon from her Emerald roster.
In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Anabel makes a cameo appearance with Looker in Poni Plains. The two block the way to Poni Coast until the UB incident at Poni Grove is resolved, at which point Anabel leaves to go to the Battle Tree for training. It is mentioned that in these games, Anabel and Looker are on vacation in Alola instead of being there for a mission.

- Initial battle
- Before battle
- "Greetings... My name is Anabel. I am the Salon Maiden, and I am in charge of running the Battle Tower... I have heard several rumors about you... In all honesty, what I have heard does not seem attractive in any way... The reason I've come to see you... Well, there is but one reason... Let me see your talent in its entirety..."
- Being defeated
- "Okay, I understand..."
- If the player is defeated
- "It's very disappointing..."
- After being defeated
- "Fufufu, nicely done... Your Frontier Pass, please... Your talent shall be recognized."

- "It is an honor to meet you, of course, the first Champion of Alola. Please forgive our rude summons. My name is Anabel. I am the head of a secret division within the International Police. We are the UB Task Force."
- UB?: "The UBs are the beasts... otherwise known as Ultra Beasts. They are unidentified life-forms that reside in a different world from the one we live in. That Nihilego creature you encountered was one such beast."
- Symbiont?: "Yes, UB-01...Symbiont. I suppose you knew it as Nihilego. The International Police refers to all of the UBs by code names, like Symbiont there. I believe you might recognize it as the Pokémon that the woman Lusamine fused with?"
- Regardless of choice: "Just as we had thought..."
- "Listen. Everything that we are about to share with you is highly classified information. We must ask that you keep all that you learn here to yourself. The incident that Ms. Lusamine caused... Symbiont wasn't the only UB to appear from the Ultra Wormhole that was temporarily opened at the time."
- "And so we have been tasked with three duties. The first is to investigate the ecology of these unidentified UBs. The second is to look out for UBs and protect the people from any harm. And the third is to either protect the UBs... or destroy them..."
- "But neither myself nor Looker would like to see that happen. Even if they are UBs, they are living creatures. We would like to protect them and save them."
- "And so we finally arrive at the point. Let us dispense with any pretense... We wish for you, the Champion of Alola, to lend us your assistance. <Player>... we want you to join our team. Please give your aid to the UB Task Force."

In the anime
Anabel debuted in Talking a Good Game!. Ash and Pikachu met her when they were chased by an angry Beedrill. Anabel quickly calmed Beedrill down after speaking to it, much to Ash's surprise. The pair soon came across a rampaging Gyarados, and Anabel once again showed off her empathy abilities to settled it down. Team Rocket soon ambushed the duo in an attempt to steal Pikachu, but it soon turned into a battle, which Anabel won after having her Alakazam confuse Team Rocket's Pokémon. May, Max, and Brock later caught up with Anabel and Ash, and Anabel escorted everyone to her home to get changed out of their wet clothes. There, they learned that Anabel was actually a girl.
The group then quickly rushed off to the Battle Tower, but were shocked to learn that Anabel was also the Salon Maiden, who Ash was supposed to challenge for his next Symbol. Ash lost his first match to Anabel after her powerful Alakazam managed to defeat his Corphish and Tauros ,consecutively. Pikachu, however, was able to defeat Alakazam in the next round. Anabel then sent out her Metagross, and it knocked Pikachu out with a Hyper Beam.
Anabel reappeared in Second Time's the Charm!. Ash once again disturbed a group of Beedrill as he trained with his Pokemon. Tauros was stung and knocked its Trainer and Anabel into a nearby lake, but she quickly shrugged off the incident. While lunch was ruined because of Team Rocket, Anabel tried to teach Ash and May about her psychic powers, but to no avail.
Ash later had his rematch against Anabel. Corphish was able to defeat Alakazam after Ash listened to it and quickly returned it to its Poké Ball before sending Corphish back out again to overcome its confusion. Corphish lost in the next round, and after an exchange of strengths between Tauros and Metagross, the battle ended in a draw. In the final round, Anabel's Espeon was able to shadow Pikachu's moves and overwhelm his Thunderbolt with a more powerful Zap Cannon. However, Pikachu caused the facility to have a power outage and used the darkness to strike Espeon. Pikachu concluded the match with a Volt Tackle, earning Ash the Ability Symbol. As they said goodbye to one another, Anabel was revealed to have a crush on Ash.
She reappeared during a flashback in A Pyramiding Rage!.
Anabel has the empathetic ability to sense the emotions of living beings and communicate with them, ever since she was little. She also shares a particularly strong bond with her Pokémon, and is seemingly able to command them telepathically. Without the vocal commands as a cue, Ash initially struggled to compete against Anabel.
Anabel uses her Psychic Pokémon's attacks to either confuse her opponent's Pokémon or control oncoming attacks. Her Pokémon also know some physical moves like Meteor Mash, making them equally effective in direct confrontations.
This listing is of Anabel's known Pokémon in the anime:
| Anabel first called on Alakazam in Talking a Good Game! to help her and Ash when they were attacked by Team Rocket. Alakazam was able to defeat them with its powerful Psychic attack. Ash then realized that Anabel was a Frontier Brain and that he would have to battle Alakazam. Ash chose Corphish for that match. In the end, Alakazam easily defeated Corphish and Tauros before finally being defeated by his Pikachu, but it was able to weaken it beforehand.
In Second Time's the Charm!, Ash had a rematch with Anabel. Again, she chose Alakazam as her first Pokémon. It went head to head against Corphish once again, but this time, Alakazam was defeated by Corphish's Bubble Beam after Ash found a way to overcome Corphish's confusion.
Alakazam's known moves are Psychic, Psybeam, Focus Punch, and Recover.

| Metagross was first seen during Ash's first match against her, where it easily defeated Pikachu, losing the match for Ash. During Ash's rematch against Anabel, Metagross easily defeated Corphish, but the Iron Leg Pokémon later tied with Tauros after its Meteor Mash collided with Tauros's Take Down.
Metagross's known moves are Psychic, Iron Defense, Meteor Mash, and Hyper Beam.

| Espeon, Anabel's favorite Pokémon, was seen during Ash's rematch against her, where it battled Pikachu. Even though Espeon initially managed to overwhelm Pikachu with its speed and power, one of Pikachu's Thunderbolts turned the lights off, making it impossible for both Anabel and Espeon to see where the next attack was coming from. This cost some critical hits for Espeon, and Pikachu was finally able to defeat the Sun Pokémon with a Volt Tackle, winning the match for Ash and earning him the Ability Symbol.
It also reappeared in a flashback in A Pyramiding Rage!.
Espeon's known moves are Quick Attack, Iron Tail, Zap Cannon, and Psychic.

Emerald chapter
Anabel is one of the seven Trainers hired by Scott to be a Frontier Brain at the Battle Frontier. Anabel is first seen watching the Battle Frontier's opening ceremony. The ceremony is interrupted by Emerald, who announces that he wishes to conquer the Battle Frontier. The press mistakenly report the incident as allowing an ordinary Trainer to take part in the Battle Frontier before it officially opens a week later. The Frontier Brains decide to use this assumption as free publicity and allow Emerald to challenge the Battle Frontier under the condition that he completes it before it officially opens.
Later, while Emerald is challenging the Battle Pyramid, Noland is attacked by an unknown assailant and several rental Pokémon are stolen. After Noland is taken to a hospital, the other Frontier Brains begin to suspect Emerald as the culprit. They head to the Battle Pyramid to confront Emerald and find him after having defeated Brandon. When they ask him about what happened, Emerald reveals that he did not attack Noland and is actually after the Mythical Pokémon Jirachi. The Frontier Brains find Emerald's explanation suspicious, but decide to follow him into Artisan Cave, where Jirachi is currently located at. Upon arriving, everyone is attacked by a horde of wild Smeargle while Emerald continues inside to find Jirachi. After the Frontier Brains get past the Smeargle, they meet up with Emerald, who has managed to find Jirachi. Emerald attempts to capture Jirachi, but is attacked by Guile Hideout, the actual culprit who attacked Noland. When Jirachi runs off, Emerald attempts to pursue it, only to be attacked by the rental Pokémon Guile had stolen. The other Frontier Brains attempt to avenge Noland by attacking Guile, but are swiftly defeated.
Anabel applauds Emerald for focusing on his mission instead of staying behind to fight and offers to fight Guile while he focuses on capturing Jirachi. Using Raikou's control over lightning, Anabel manages to trap Guile in a cage of electricity. Emerald attempts to use this chance to capture Jirachi, but Guile uses his sword to destroy the Poké Ball and breaks free from the cage. Jirachi takes this chance to flee, forcing Guile to escape as well to continue his pursuit of it. Injured from the battle, everyone decides to return to the Battle Frontier. When they meet up with Scott again, he reveals that he was aware of Guile and Emerald's true mission the entire time. Scott states that he withheld the information from the Frontier Brains to help them get stronger as they still would have lost even if they had known of Guile beforehand.
The next day, Anabel watches the tournament being hosted at the Battle Dome, where Emerald is challenging to obtain his fifth Symbol. As Emerald battles Tucker in the finals, Scott asks Anabel to talk with him somewhere else. This Scott is revealed to be a disguised Guile, who puts Anabel under mind control. After this, Guile returns to the Battle Dome, where he manages to find and capture Jirachi. Guile uses the rental Pokémon to attack innocent bystanders and heads to the Battle Tower to make his wish. Emerald, Noland, Ruby, and Sapphire all head to the Battle Tower to stop Guile, but are forced to traverse the Battle Tower's seventy floors and challenge Anabel on the final floor. Emerald manages to get to Anabel first, but is defeated by the time everyone else arrives.
The stress of the mind control eventually causes Anabel to pass out, forcing Guile to use her as a hostage in order to force Noland to give him the Jirachi Report, which contains the secrets of how to make Jirachi grant his wish. When Noland is unsure about what to do, Guile attacks him and takes the report by force. Now knowing Jirachi's secret, Guile has Jirachi create a gigantic Kyogre made of seawater and uses it to flood the entire Battle Frontier. Anabel is taken to safety by Latios and later awakens to help the Frontier Brains fight off Guile's rental Pokémon while Emerald and the other Pokédex holders fight Guile. Eventually, Emerald and the Pokédex holders manage to defeat Guile and destroy the gigantic Kyogre monster. The day after, an injured Anabel and the other Frontier Brains congratulate Emerald for the hard work he put into saving everyone. Anabel then awards Emerald the Ability Symbol for his skills in traversing the Battle Tower.
Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire chapter
Anabel and the other Hoenn Frontier Brains battle and defeat the Admins of Neo Team Magma and Neo Team Aqua, who had interfered in the launch of a rocket that was made to stop the meteoroid threatening to destroy the world. Once finished, Anabel is contacted by Emerald, who asks if any of the Frontier Brains had seen Sapphire in the area. When the Brains deny seeing Sapphire, Emerald thanks them and leaves. Later, Anabel and the other Hoenn Frontier Brains are called to Sootopolis City to assist in stopping the meteoroid.
Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon chapter
It was revealed that Anabel had become a member of the International Police. She, along with Looker first appear investigating Po Town, where several Ultra Beasts had appeared before breaking out and wreaking havoc on Ula'ula Island. Shortly after arriving, Anabel and Looker meet with Sun and Moon, a pair of children who had previously faced the Ultra Beasts. While she questioned Sun and Moon about the beasts, Anabel had Looker go off to investigate the rampaging beasts to find information on them as well. After receiving the information, Anabel sent out her Mismagius to battle Blacephalon, another Ultra Beast that emerged from an Ultra Wormhole.
Together with Sun, Anabel managed to stun Blacephalon long enough to throw a Poké Ball at it, but Blacephalon immediately breaks out, confirming that regular Poké Balls do not work on Ultra Beasts. Blacephalon retaliates by using Mind Blown on the group, forcing Anabel to get everyone out of the way. Anabel and the others are saved by Tapu Bulu, the guardian deity of Ula'ula Island, who used a large gust of wind to blow both Blacephalon and its attack far away. As Sun and Moon feed a Mirage Berry to Tapu Bulu to befriend it, Anabel speculates that there must be a man hiding in Alola capable of making Poké Balls that are able to capture Ultra Beasts.
Later, Anabel, Sun, and Moon head towards Poni Island. Anabel revealed to Sun and Moon that Xurkitree and Blacephalon are also making their way to Poni. Due to Poni not having an Island Kahuna, there would be no one capable enough of protecting the island from the two beasts. Sun, more fixated on delivering the next Mirage Berry to Tapu Fini, decided to head off and find someone who can help him search for it. After docking on Poni, Anabel and Moon arrived at Seafolk Village, which had been evacuated due to the Ultra Beasts' attacks. Worried that some injured people may still be there, Anabel requested to Moon that she help heal any hurt civilians. As they walked through Poni Wilds, Moon asked Anabel how she knew the names of the Ultra Beasts. Anabel then revealed that she knew because she is a Faller, a human who had passed through an Ultra Wormhole.
Later, Anabel and Moon traveled to Vast Poni Canyon, where they witnessed Faba battling Plumeria. Anabel confronted Faba about the Aether Foundation's involvement with the Ultra Beasts' appearance in Alola. Worried that his plans could be jeopardized, Faba has his Aether Foundation Employees battle against Anabel and Moon, hoping the distraction would give him the chance to escape. Anabel used her Pokémon to keep the Employees busy while she, Moon, and Plumeria followed Faba. As he approached the Poni Altar, Faba revealed he was aware of his pursuers and proceeded to attack them while assisted by more Employees. During the battle, Moon was grabbed by Tapu Koko and taken to the Poni Altar.
Later, Anabel managed to defeat and capture Faba. After meeting with Gladion, Lillie, and Hapu, the four traveled to the Altar, where they found that Sun and Moon managed to summon Solgaleo and Lunala, the Legendary Pokémon of the Alola region. After explaining what Solgaleo and Lunala are and their connection with Cosmog, Anabel received a call from Looker, who reported that a large number of Ultra Beasts emerged from Po Town and have made their way to Poni Island. Anabel teamed up with Moon, Gladion, and Hapu to fend off the attacking beasts. Later, a larger than usual wormhole opened at the Altar, which Anabel noted was caused by the Blinding One. A hand emerged from the wormhole and grabbed Solgaleo, taking control of its body. The possessed Solgaleo captured Sun with its tail and jumped into the wormhole while Moon and Nebby followed after it.

Reason: role needs to be expanded.
Anabel first appeared in Introducing the Frontier Brains!, disguised as a photographer. She took a picture of Enta's Vulpix and Feebas. She told Enta about the Frontier Brains after Rald was defeated by her, prompting him to challenge them in order to discover which one defeated Rald.
After Enta defeated his sixth Frontier Brain, Lucy, he was told that the seventh one is none other than Anabel herself, much to his surprise. Enta's battle with Anabel ended up in a draw after a showdown between Ninetales and Entei.
| Entei was the first revealed Pokémon. It was the final Pokémon that went up against Enta after both sides were down to one Pokémon. It battled Ninetales and managed to dodge many of its attacks.

|Final Battle: Versus The Salon Maiden
- Despite being female, in Japanese, Anabel uses the typically masculine personal pronoun ボク boku.
- Anabel is the only Frontier Brain whose title (in some languages) does not incorporate the second word of their facility's name. However, the Battle Salon is an actual room in a Battle Tower where Trainers can meet each other and team up to participate in Multi Battles.

- In the anime, her Espeon knows Zap Cannon, a move it could not learn in the games at the time of her anime appearance during Generation III.
- Anabel's ability to sense the feelings of Pokémon is similar to that of N in the anime and Sheena from the twelfth movie.
- Anabel's Battle Tree battle music in Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon is a completely unaltered version of the Frontier Brain battle theme from Emerald.
- Anabel is 165 cm (5'5") tall in Generation VII.

Plastic refers to a group of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that have been engineered to achieve specific properties. The most notable characteristics of plastics are its low weight, machinability, corrosion resistance, and typically good thermal and electrical insulating properties. Certain plastic grades also offer optical transparency similar to glass, low-friction or self-lubricating surfaces, and exceptional impact resistance. Depending on their properties, certain plastic grades can be used as alternatives to metal, glass, and ceramic. Unlike metal, plastic may experience creep, which is deformation caused by longtime exposure to a constant load.
Tensile strength, used to indicate the material's overall strength, is the peak stress it can withstand before it breaks. Corrosion resistance describes the material's ability to prevent deterioration caused by atmosphere, moisture, or other medium. Wear resistance indicates the ability to prevent surface damage caused by contact with other surfaces. Toughness describes the material's ability to absorb energy before breaking, while hardness (commonly measured as indentation hardness) describes its resistance to permanent surface deformation. Impact resistance is the measure of a material's ability to absorb a shock of energy before breaking.

The word pneumonia means "infection of the lung." While such infections were extremely dangerous in past generations, today most children can recover from them easily if they receive proper medical attention.
Most cases of pneumonia follow a viral upper respiratory tract infection. Typically, the viruses that cause these infections (respiratory syncytial virus, influenza, parainfluenza, adenovirus) spread to the chest and produce pneumonia there. Pneumonia also can be caused by bacterial infections.
Some of these are spread from person to person by coughing or by direct contact with the infected person's saliva or mucus. Also, if a viral infection has weakened a child's immune system, bacteria may begin to grow in the lung, adding a second infection to the original one.
Certain children whose immune defenses or lungs are weakened by other illnesses, such as cystic fibrosis, abnormalities in the immune system or cancer (as well as by the chemotherapy used to treat cancer), may be more likely to develop pneumonia. Children whose airways or lungs are abnormal in other ways may have a higher risk.
Because most forms of pneumonia are linked to viral or bacterial infections that spread from person to person, they're most common during the fall, winter, and early spring, when children spend more time indoors in close contact with others. The chance that a child will develop pneumonia is not affected by how she is dressed or by air temperature.
Like many infections, pneumonia usually produces a fever, which in turn may cause sweating, chills, flushed skin, and general discomfort. The child also may lose her appetite and seem less energetic than normal. Babies and toddlers may seem pale and limp, and cry more than usual.
Although the diagnosis of pneumonia usually can be made on the basis of the signs and symptoms, a chest X-ray sometimes is necessary to make certain and to determine the extent of lung involvement.
When pneumonia is caused by a virus, usually there is no specific treatment other than rest and the usual measures for fever control. Cough suppressants containing codeine or dextromethorphan should not be used, because coughing is necessary to clear the excessive secretions caused by the infection. Viral pneumonia usually improves after a few days, although the cough may linger for several weeks. Ordinarily, no medication is necessary.
Because it is often difficult to tell whether the pneumonia is caused by a virus or by a bacteria, your pediatrician may prescribe an antibiotic. All antibiotics should be taken for the full prescribed course and at the specific dosage recommended. You may be tempted to discontinue them early, but you should not do so. Your child will feel better after just a few days, but some bacteria may remain and the infection might return unless the entire course is completed.
Your child can be vaccinated against pneumococcal infections, a bacterial cause of pneumonia. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children starting at 2 months of age receive this immunization (called pneumococcal conjugate or PCV13). A series of doses needs to be given at two, four, six, and twelve to fifteen months of age, at the same time that children receive other childhood vaccines.
Another pneumococcal vaccine (pneumococcal polysaccharide or PPV23) also is recommended for older children (twenty-four to fifty-nine months of age) who have a high risk of developing an invasive pneumococcal infection. These include children with:
It's also recommended for children taking medications or who have diseases that weaken their immune system.

'Snooki & JWoww': Exec prod Sally Ann Salsano on birth ep -- EXCLUSIVE
On tonight's installment of Snooki & JWoww, America's favorite meatball finally gives birth to her son, Lorenzo, and, naturally, cameras were there to capture all the details…with a little help from Snooki's fiancee Jionni. EW talked to executive producer Sally Ann Salsano (Jersey Shore) about being there for the big day and Snooki's transition to motherhood.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Last time I interviewed Snooki she said she did not want cameras inside the birth? What changed?
SALLY ANN SALSANO: Here's basically how it went: We went to the hospital with her. She was in labor for 26 hours. I wanted to kill myself.
Did you get emotional?
It was emotional. It's weird because in a sense they grew up in front of our eyes. It's that weird feeling. It's bittersweet. It's a little crazy. I've never been at the hospital with someone as they're having birth so the first person I'm there with is my child Snooki. I was like a stressed-out grandmother in the lobby.
It's cute how emotional her father becomes.
It is cute. Everybody was so stressed out, just nervous. She shut the door and we left. All the stuff that you saw during the birth is footage that Jionni shot. They shot it for themselves not for us.
Oh Jionni shot it?
Jionni shot it. We said, "We don't need that to tell the story. That's your own personal time." Then afterwards Snooki was like, "You know what? I want to share it." We were watching [the birth footage] one day. She was like, "Watch this with me." I'm like, "There are some things I never need to see. I feel like I've seen too much of you to begin with. I wish I could erase some of the memories I have." She's like, "No no no. There's nothing weird." I was like, "If there's something weird in there I will kill you." She's like, "I promise." We watched it and I was like, "Okay Snooki why don't you give it a quick pass and take out anything you don't want me to have." And she said, "There's nothing in here I wouldn't share." She rightfully handed over the footage and we edited it into the show. Snooki has always been so open so I think for her it felt weird to actually close off.
Can you believe you've seen this little meatball now give birth after like seasons of partying at Karma?
It's insane but I think it feels more weird to the outside world. That first sit down interview I did with Snooki she was this wide-eyed girl who goes to the Jersey Shore every summer. I'm not saying she didn't party and do cartwheels in her mini skirt but like went to Jersey Shore really always wanting to meet her husband. She was like, "I wanna marry a Jersey guy. I wanna have my first kid at least by 25." Actually everything she wanted out of life happened. And America fell in love with her and her dream came true.
Did this inspire maternal feelings in Jenni? Does she wanna have kids now?
Jenni is really maternal and really loves kids but Jenni really loves her abs. How that turns out, I couldn't tell ya.
Will we see Roger pop the question on camera?
Oh yeah I have the whole thing. He does a total fake out thing where she thinks it's the night and he does it on purpose and doesn't pop the question. I thought she was gonna kill herself. Every girl in America is going to be like, "What the f***?" I was howling.

Woo Hoo! 3rd and final EPIC training trip for a private NZ Mountaineering Trip next week and a huge one off my bucket list - I've now completed all the Kanangra Canyons flowing into Kanangra Creek - mind you, I haven't done Kanangra Main via the Slot - does that count? Now I've just got to do all the Canyons flowing into the Kowmung.
Kanangra Main is my photography nemesis. When I last did Kanangra Main way back in 2008 with Greg and Paul I somehow managed to format my SD drive after a few too many Coopers around the camp fire and lost all my shots and so was keen to do it again. As Anton, Bec, Mike and I are due to do a Mountaineering Course in mid-January, this seemed like a good way to do some hill climbing in preparation.
We decided to head up on Boxing Day arvo, so everything was a rush - I couldn't find my Kanangra map so had to print one out, didn't manage to get food prepared so a roast chicken from Coles was the best I could manage ...
Finally we departed at around 5:00pm and as we expected the Pizza place in Hartley to be closed, Mike and Bec bought some hideous potato scallops from the the Mt York servo - and what do you know? The Pizza place was open after all. So we had Pizza - how could you not?
Epic! That's what the boys reckon. I thought it was awesome. It has everything you could ask for and more! A demanding and remote adventure with absolutely stunning waterfalls and abseils, pristine creek walking, an optional side trip to Danae Brook, the best walk out ever and a great open fire cook up with a few glasses of plonk on the banks of Kanangra Creek. But seriously very hard - Kanangra Main is a Picnic in comparison.
K2K ina day! Yay! Well, technically, as we finished at the Golden Stairs we didn't complete the walk - only 870m short of the official finish which is the Old Climbers Carpark at Narrowneck. But, if you have an engineering background as I do, as opposed to a theoretical mathematician's, you'll know that close enough is good enough!
A challenging bushwalk in the Kanangra region. Originally I had planned to do a three day walk from Kanangra to Katoomba for the Silver Qualifying Walk but alas the logistics of the car shuffle proved to be too complex so I settled for a three day circuit starting at Kanangra Walls, down the Gingra Ridge to the Kowmung River, up to 100 Man Cave via Compagnoni Pass and the Ti Willa Plateau
Awesome!!! Davies Canyon is one of of the best canyons I've done, but really Tuff. It's actually an open gorge rather than a canyon, but boy is it spectacular!
I'd previously written this up in another website which was hacked so hopefully I've remembered it correctly. It's entirely possible that I may have exagerated certain aspects of the trip ;-)
We'd been organising this trip for a while and Stuart had decided to buy a new rope to match his existing rope for the long 50m abseils, what dedication is that? But why did he choose 11mm instead of 9mm? Unlike many other canyons, there really wasn't much info on the internet on Davies apart from what was available on Tom Brennan's Ozultimate site, so it was bound to be an exciting adventure.

Extended Summary
"The Postmaster," a story by Rabindranath Tagore, concerns an unnamed postmaster who is assigned to a remote post office in a small rural Indian village. The village is near a factory, and the owner of the factory, who is English, manages to have the post office created. The narrator of the story seems to be a resident of the village, since the narrator refers to "our postmaster." The postmaster is from the huge city of Calcutta and feels out of place in such a distant rural village. The post office seems to contain only two rooms: the office itself, and the postmaster's living quarters. These are located in a "thatched shed" near a stagnant pond circled by thick foliage.
Download The Postmaster Study Guide
The workers in the nearby factory work so much that they have no time to befriend anyone. Besides, they are not especially good company for "decent folk." In addition, people from Calcutta are not particularly good at socializing. They can appear to be arrogant or uncomfortable. In any case, the postmaster has few companions, and he does not have many activities to keep him occupied.
Occasionally he tries to write a bit of poetry. The rural landscape might have inspired the kind of happy poetry he sought to compose. But the postmaster is uninterested in the landscape and would be happy if it were replaced by a paved road and numerous tall buildings. His wages are not great; he must do his own cooking, but he shares his suppers with "Ratan, an orphan girl of the village, who did odd jobs for him." In the evening, when the village is filled with appealing sights and sounds—the kind that would inspire poets—the postmaster lights his lamp and calls for Ratan.
Ratan, who has been waiting for the nightly call, typically asks whether she has indeed been called. She then routinely lights the fire needed for cooking. The postmaster, however, typically tells her to wait a while and let him smoke his pipe, which Ratan then always lights for him. After this nightly ritual has been completed, the postmaster usually talks with Ratan. He asks her whether she remembers her parents, discovering that she has fonder memories of her father than of her mother. She can even recall a little brother, with whom she would playfully fish. Often her conversations with the postmaster last a long time—so long that the postmaster doesn't cook and Ratan instead prepares a very hasty light meal.
Sometimes in the evenings, the postmaster himself recalls his home, his mother and sister, and others whom he misses. He cannot share these thoughts with the local workers, but he feels comfortable discussing them with the innocent young girl. Eventually Ratan begins speaking of the members of the postmaster's family as if they are members of her own and as if she has long known them. In her heart, she can vividly imagine how each of them looks.
One noon, when the rains have stopped, the wind blows gently and the smell of the lush vegetation beneath the blazing sun feels like the earth breathing on one's skin. A bird, dedicated to singing the same song over and over, unburdens itself to Nature. The postmaster, however, is idle. He looks at the vegetation and at the increasingly distant rain-clouds and wishes that there were someone—anyone—nearby with whom he had something in common, someone with whom he could share a mutual love. This same thought, he imagines, is precisely what the bird is trying to utter. It is also what the surrounding leaves are attempting to say. Yet no one realizes, or would find it credible, that a thought of this kind might overcome a poorly-paid postmaster during a noontime break from his duties.
The postmaster summons Ratan, who has been lying beneath a guava-tree, determinedly eating immature guavas. Ratan quickly responds to the summons, asking the postmaster, whom she now calls "Dada," if he has been calling for her. He replies by saying that he has been considering the possibility of teaching her how to read. For the rest of the...

In a surprising turn of events, Verizon and HTC have started rolling out the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for the HTC Thunderbolt. Yes, you read that right. Verizon and HTC have finally got their act together and rolled out some ICS love for the poor Thunderbolt owners out there.
The ICS update will bring with it lots of new features to the Thunderbolt including Face Unlock, a new lock screen, updated UI, improved speech-to-text recognition, inbuilt data monitoring tool and much more.
The Thunderbolt was the first phone to hit Verizon's network that supported the carrier's blazing fast 4G LTE network. The handset was released way back in early 2011, and was slated to get the ICS update sometime in 2012. However, HTC and Verizon kept pushing back the ICS update for the handset for performance and stability reasons.
The 320MB+ OTA update should go live within a week or so, and should be available to all Thunderbolt owners within a few days after that.

Two new additions to the UFC women's bantamweight division were made official today.
Sara McMann (6-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and Alexis Davis (13-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC) signed contracts that will see them complete in the octagon, which brings the total number of fighters in the upstart 135-pound women's division to six.
The acquisitions were announced today during a conference call in support of UFC 157, which features the first-ever women's bout in the UFC. Inaugural bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey attempts the first title defense of her title when she meets Liz Carmouche next week on pay-per-view.
A source close to Davis believed she would be paired with McMann, but said nothing had been made official, the source told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
McMann was heavily rumored to be in the running for a UFC contract at the end of this past year, but her rep recently denied a claim from UFC President Dana White that she was offered Carmouche's spot at UFC 157.
An Olympic silver medalist in wrestling, McMann transitioned into MMA two years ago and has built a 6-0 record. Most recently, she defeated Shayna Baszler for the all-female MMA promotion Invicta FC. A knee injury forced her to withdraw from a proposed bout with Carmouche at an ill-fated Strikeforce event this past November.
Davis went 2-1 under the Strikeforce banner and ended a trio of fights with a decision loss to former champ Sarah Kaufman. She rebounded under the Invicta FC banner, where she won two straight fights, including a "Fight of the Night" submission of Baszler.
Two previous additions to the women's bantamweight class include ex-Strikeforce champ Miesha Tate, who will square off with Cat Zingano at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale, which takes place April 13 in Las Vegas.

ROME, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- The remodeled statue of the late pope John Paul II at Rome's Termini Station was unveiled Monday, officials said.
The statue was given a new look after experts and the public called it an eyesore and requested that it be removed, Italy's ANSA news agency reported.
Improvements made to the statute included the face being "remodeled completely" to make it look more like the Polish pontiff, who died in 2005, Rome officials said. And his cloak, which was first so wide and rigid it was dubbed a "sentry box," was moved closer into the body so that it "drapes more naturally," officials said.

By Your Command: FemShep Lives
God forbid we'd post yet another Mass Effect 3 trailer, but… well, here's another Mass Effect 3 trailer. It stars, at long, long last, the female version of Shepard, finally getting just a tiny fraction of the official marketing acknowledgment she deserves. You will, I trust, understand.
Seriously. Come on, seriously. Why does anyone play as BlokeShep? That voice! That is the voice of authority. I'm a bit :/ about the new, more glamorous look, but as far as I can gather it's not going to be forced onto us, and hopefully we can make female Shepards that remain very much in the not-here-for-your-entertainment vein of our ME1 & 2 characters.
I do hate the portmanteau 'FemShep' by the way, but it is part of popular culture lexicon now, so I suppose I can't ignore it.
