Peruvian ceviche game, located in the suburban city of West Covina deep in the outskirts of the San Gabriel Valley. The menu boasts an impressive selection of eight Peruvian ceviche preparations, all of which rely only on fresh halibut, sea bass and yellowtail with various fruity Peruvian aji pepper sauces as their bases. Splurge on the $25 ceviche Misky Misky sampler plate, which includes traditional ceviche de pescado with aji limo, ceviche de mango with Peruvian mango purée, mixto ceviche with octopus and shrimp and ceviche crocante with crispy fried calamari. Misky Misky gets bonus points for being on the way to the Ikea in Covina. I’ve reported on how Stardew Valley has inspired people to start gardens of their own.

El Coraloense is a family-run establishment that blends these two humble regional Mexican seafood styles together but elevates them enough to keep it exciting to come here every day of the year and not get bored. Opt for the ceviche sampler to get a taste of things like shrimp and halibut marinated in spicy shredded carrot salsa and served with house-made aioli. To wash it down, take turns between bites sipping on a tall cup filled with naturally dairy-free coconut milk horchata made with young coconut meat. Ceviche’s bright flavors and crisp textures share a lot of similarly bold flavor profiles with Southeast Asian food.

That said, the game’s rudimentary recipes have been reimagined to reflect the fact that they’re more complex to make in real life. For example, while baking a Pink Cake in the game only requires four ingredients (melon, wheat flour, sugar, and an egg), the book supplies a recipe for a delicious-looking watermelon strawberry jam. This book contains 50 recipes, and, true to Stardew Valley’s emphasis on harvesting seasonal ingredients, these scrumptious selections are divided into seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter). Each recipe is inspired by food found in the game and is complemented with original art and photography of the dishes.

Stardew Valley’s cookbook feels like hanging out with the game’s cozy characters

“It’s taken years,” says Adrianzen by phone, “but it’s my own.” He’s not lying; the Peruvian-American chef has been busy turning out seafood for fans in the know while simultaneously sitting down to talk to sites like Remezcla and L.A. Taco about his work, but he’s never had a solo restaurant on the Westside like this before. It was a novel mash-up of culinary ideas, but never quite what Adrianzen imagined for himself. Now, years after kind words about his cooking from the late Jonathan Gold, Adrianzen is ready for his new reveal with Ceviche Stop, taking over the closed Gaby’s at the corner of La Cienega and Washington.

Welcome to Cevichestop L.A.

Though Mexican and Peruvian ceviches reign supreme in Los Angeles, La Cevicheria holds its own with its Guatemalan interpretation of the staple South American seafood dish found virtually anywhere there is a coastline. The restaurant’s namesake chapin-style preparation is its ceviche made with ultra-briny bloody clams. Though the name and muddy brown color of the cooking liquid may look a little scary, its oyster-like texture and truly oceanic taste are worth trying.

Especially when spooned atop La Cevicheria’s stone-ground corn tostadas from Tortilleria Acapulco, one of East L.A.’s best tortillerias. At Coni’Seafood, there are no trendy ingredients or cheffy tricks, just straight-up amazing ceviches made from three to four ingredients max. As with any ceviche, it’s all about the quality of the seafood. The restaurant gets wild shrimp from the Pacific Ocean near Mazatlan, Sinaloa. The model, as Adrianzen sees it, involves an open kitchen and pared-down menu of raw seafood staples, tinged with flavors from across the Peruvian diaspora.

Fans of the game will enjoy how the book ties together the food with the memorable characters of Stardew Valley. As for the restaurant, the exposed corner spot will keep its open kitchen and seating for 30-some diners inside, while also offering some sidewalk seating in front and a small patio to one side. He’ll be there working alongside his wife and partner in Ceviche Stop, serving at the bar for all to see, with dreams of more restaurants to come — at least when the time is right.

There might be oysters with shiso leaf and passion fruit, split and seasoned shrimp from South America, or fresh blood clams from Mexico. A hot food section will work through familiar Peruvian dishes like grilled cow’s heart anticuchos, rotisserie chicken, and even lomo saltado, each available as quick and inexpensive lunch or dinner options. What do you get when you bring together those same gorgeous sashimi cuts of seafood that you find in L.A.’s top sushi restaurants with a Mexican ceviche-centric perfectionist attitude?

Corazón y Miel realized this and blended these two cuisine characteristics together for its house ceviche de corazón, a heaping pile of tender sliced octopus and shrimp mixed with chopped cucumber in a pool of soy sauce and ginger. As if this fusion weren’t enough, there are charred peanuts and buttery ripe avocado in the mix too. Pair with one of the lighter local craft beers available at the full bar and you are set for a memorable modern ceviche experience. A major part of playing Stardew Valley entails growing fresh ingredients, then cooking them to create tasty, regenerative meals.

Expect a multi-course ceviche feast that may include freshly scooped sweet raw lobster ceviche topped with a chile-spiced salsa bruja, vinegar-marinated shallot rings and edible flowers, or a slab of albacore belly with tangerine, pepitas and chile de arbol. Each course is usually paired with a different smooth tequila cocktail and the chef’s hand-selected vintage cumbia vinyl jams. The dish requires sea cucumber in the game, but the cookbook version of that dish turns it into shrimp ceviche on a bed of greens with a star-shaped tortilla to top it off. Safe to say, I don’t think my local grocery stores carry fleshy sea slugs, so I welcome the change to shrimp.

Guerrilla Tacos usually has at least one ceviche tostada option on its daily rotating menu of fine-dining-on-a-tortilla-style tacos. Ceviches are treated the exact same way as are the prized tacos. Putting things like minced habanero and limes into Honolulu ahi poke with white miso and togarashi pepper, then serving that on a flaky tostada. Also, when available, chocolata clams from Baja California, Mexico too — a meaty, chocolate-colored variety of clam that was just recently made available in the U.S. Nayarit and Sinaloa are some of the most mariscos-intensive coastal states in Mexico.

Some folks might not be into picking up farming as a hobby, but maybe now with the The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook, you might want to get crackin’ in the kitchen instead. If nothing else, this book is a unique way to let fans of the game spend a little bit more time with their favorite characters. Each recipe tells you which character the recipe belongs to, and the book’s margins are lined with adorable notes from the cast of the game. On Monday, the Caller-Times started its Seafood Bracket Showdown where 24 seafood eateries went head to head.

In Wrightwood — where residents saw historic snowfall but didn’t face as many issues as their eastern neighbors — Tamie Keen said she repeatedly tried to get updates and resources as manager of the Wrightwood Community Services District. On March 1, days after the storms began, Keen’s team wrote to county officials expressing worry that the town wasn’t even mentioned in the latest update. During the storms, it also took time for the county’s emergency operations to get running. It wasn’t until March 2 — six days after the National Weather Service issued its first-ever blizzard warning for the region — that the county’s OES began holding daily briefings to coordinate responses with different agencies, records show.

Snow accumulates on a hillside over a property Friday, Feb. 24, 2023, in Agua Dulce, Calif.

President Biden’s bold action will not only preserve the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument and Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument for generations to come, but also underscore our collective commitment to the protection of our public heritage and public lands,” said Rep. Schiff. “Along with Senators Padilla and Feinstein, and Representative Chu, I’ve fought to protect the San Gabriel Mountains. And the expansion of these monuments will provide increased access to green spaces for millions of Californians and boost local economies through sustainable tourism. In 2008, Congress passed Schiff’s Rim of the Valley Corridor Study Act which directed the National Park Service to conduct a special resource study of the Rim of the Valley Corridor. The study sought to determine the suitability and feasibility of designating all or a portion of the Rim of the Valley Corridor as a unit of the existing area and how these areas could be better managed and preserved.

At the intersection of Carmelita Avenue and Walden Drive, in Beverly Hills, California, there stands a house which appears straight out of a fairytale. With its steeply pitched gable roof, wooden shingles, shutters that hang askew and small leaded-glass windows, the house appears jarringly out of place among its upscale neighbors. But the interior is quite charming and spacious with two master suites and a 3,500-square-foot floor plan. "Not only were you getting significant snowfall in areas that already see snow, you were also seeing snowfall on lower elevations in Southern California, which is super rare," said Bianca Feldkircher, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service. Back in California, the Weather Prediction Center of the National Weather Service forecast heavy snow over the Cascade Mountains and the Sierra Nevada through the weekend. Meanwhile, people farther east were struggling to deal with the fallout from storms earlier this week.

A powerful winter storm carving a path through Southern California was expected to weaken Saturday, leaving heaps of sleet, snow and record-setting rain in its wake.

Looking at the views, Tacoaman said it’s understandable why people fall in love with Los Angeles. They had only a few hours to enjoy Disneyland before they had to leave the “Happiest Place on Earth” and head indoors because of the rain. They couldn’t even get a decent view of Los Angeles—the low clouds made it impossible, she said. Along Vermont Avenue, merchants laid their wares on the sidewalk, hoping to make some cash before the next storm arrived. Most of them said they were grateful for the rain despite its effect on business.

Members of the oldest free-ranging tule elk herd in California also reside within the expansion area. Tule elk, which are endemic to California, had vanished from the wild until a formerly captive herd was released in 1922 in Colusa County. Other wildlife species that make their homes in Molok Luyuk include black-tail deer, black bear, coyote, bobcat, gopher snake, and western rattlesnake.

The second issue, Rowe said, was the weather itself, which quickly required different snow-clearing equipment than the county had — a challenge exacerbated by the diversion of plows to the utility companies. First, she said, the area’s major utilities — Southern California Edison and Southern California Gas Co. — didn’t have their own plows and had to ask the county to help them access outages, a request that county officials made a priority but that diverted key equipment from clearing operations. County spokesperson David Wert declined to comment on much of the emergency response, citing an ongoing external review expected to be published in December. However, he said the county had met with various agencies before the storms to coordinate efforts.

Under the weight of almost 10 feet of snow from back-to-back, unprecedented winter storms, her walls started buckling, pulling off beams and granite countertops. Nine back-to-back atmospheric river storms in January contributed to nearly two dozen deaths, including people killed by falling trees and surging stormwater. Heavy snowpack in recent weeks contributed to at least 13 deaths in the San Bernardino Mountains, where many residents were trapped for days behind walls of snow. A tumultuous geologic history underpins the expansion area’s diverse ecological communities. The backbone of Molok Luyuk is an ophiolite formed by unusual ultramafic rocks.

Forecasters said there would be a one-day respite before the next storm arrives on Monday. They will prepare to have more fuel for snow removal equipment in the event of another emergency, add cots and pillows in case they need to stay overnight and have a better line of communication with county officials, Davis said. Vasquez, 58, whose home was also damaged in the storms, kept the food bank running until a few months ago, when the county stopped delivering supplies. She said 25 to 30 people showed up every day to the distribution center, which also stocked clothing, blankets and medical supplies.

Washington – Today, Reps. Mike Thompson (CA-04) and John Garamendi (CA-08) joined President Biden at the White House to announce the expansion of Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument. The expansion includes approximately 13,696 additional acres of federally owned public land in Lake and Colusa Counties in California, encompassing the entirety of the Molok Luyuk region within the monument. "The expansion will add 13,696 acres of public lands, managed by the Department of the Interior, to the monument's original 330,000 acres, which are jointly managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S Forest Service," the statement read. A rare weather phenomenon swept through California this past week, bringing snowcapped mountains behind the iconic Hollywood sign and more than 12 feet of snow to California's Sierra Nevada.

Assuming you’re somewhere in the northern hemisphere that isn’t the Arctic, the amount of snow and temperatures you encounter will vary wildly. The quinzhee is a great snow shelter option because you can make it anywhere there is snow to be shoveled. Whatever structure(s) you decide to build, give yourself at least half a day to develop your snowy camp. This will be your base for a week or more, as you ski, snowshoe, splitboard, and enjoy the winter wonderland. Quinzhees should not be used when temperatures are warmer than −4 °C (25 °F) due to risk of collapse. To reduce undue loading on the roof of the quinzhee, the interior ceiling should be excavated first, then the interior walls and floor.

At least 14 species of bats occur in the area, including the western red bat, pallid bat, and Townsend’s big-eared bat, each of which is a California Species of Special Concern. The night skies through which they fly are remarkably unmarred by light pollution, which can disturb many species of bats as well as other mammals and birds, and provide increasingly rare and extraordinary stargazing opportunities to those who venture out after sunset. A series of weaker storms is expected to drop about an inch of rain across the Los Angeles area through Wednesday. Snow will also be likely, just not at the same low elevations as the weekend system.

But Sunday morning, dozens of photographers packed into Kenneth Hahn State Recreational Park to snap shots of the glistening mountains. This expansion follows yearslong advocacy from Reps. Thompson and Garamendi; U.S. Senator Alex Padilla; federal, tribal, and local officials representing Northern California; and nongovernmental organizations, including environmental conservation, public access, outdoor recreation, and off-highway vehicle groups. In 2022, Reps. Garamendi and Thompson first introduced legislation to expand the National Monument and reintroduced the legislation this March.

And worry is spreading that a predicted strong El Niño winter may bring more punishment, along with anxiety about how the local infrastructure can hold up against climate whiplash and whether officials can fix the errors that left so many vulnerable. The cottages, nicknamed the “Snow White Cottages” by locals, made a more literal film appearance as the location for the Sierra Bonita apartment complex in David Lynch’s 2001 neo-noir thriller Mulholland Drive. In a real-life testament to the site’s spooky allure, two of the cottages were once home to musician Elliott Smith, whose mysterious death by stabbing in 2003 remains unsolved as either suicide or homicide.

Their history is connected to Molok Luyuk and their lifeways are intertwined with the features, plants, and wildlife of the expansion area. The name Molok Luyuk recalls a time when condors were a common sight soaring above the ridge, and the Patwin people would often celebrate them with dances and ceremonies. On a clear day, the highest points of Molok Luyuk offer a commanding view of the surrounding rugged and undeveloped landscape, encompassing Mount Shasta to the north, Mount Tamalpais to the southwest, and Sutter Buttes to the east. The expansion area includes sites of historic and ceremonial importance to members of all three Patwin Nations along the ridgeline and around its numerous natural springs.

Tales of frustration and fear as crews slowly clear snow in San Bernardino Mountains

The White House clarified that the expansions only reserve federal lands and do not affect the property rights of state or private landowners. "To further honor the ties of the Patwin people to these lands, the President's proclamation also directs the Secretary of the Interior to explore co-stewardship of the area with Tribal Nations," the White House said. The signed proclamation also renames a ridgeline outside the boundary of the existing monument, previously known as "Walker Ridge." It will be named "Molok Loyuk," which means "Condor Ridge" in the language of the Patwin people.

On Sunday, the family wandered around Griffith Observatory after her 8-year-old son, Miles, requested they check out the Hollywood sign. The views of the city and mountains made up, somewhat, for the wet and cold days before. Since Wednesday, Mammoth Mountain had received between 4½ and 5½ feet of snow. Burke said the resort was bracing for another storm to touch down Sunday night, likely bringing another 4 feet. Barbara Garcia, 49, of Santa Monica said that in the 20 years she’s lived in Los Angeles she’s never seen so much snow. The storm, which originated in the Gulf of Alaska, tapped into an atmospheric river system — a powerful plume of moisture that can deliver large amounts of precipitation.

How To Build a Winter Snow Shelter

Quinzhees are not usually meant to be long-term shelters, while igloos can be used for seasonal habitation. Constructing quinzhees is much easier than igloos, although the overall result is somewhat less sturdy and more prone to collapsing in harsh weather conditions. Quinzhees are normally constructed in times of necessity for survival, so aesthetic and long-term dwelling considerations are normally exchanged for economy of time and materials. A quinzhee or quinzee /ˈkwɪnziː/ is a Canadian snow shelter made from a large pile of loose snow that is shaped, then hollowed.

Springtime brings a kaleidoscopic display of butter-yellow golden fairy lantern, flame-like woolly Indian paintbrush, and brilliant orange starbursts of flame ragwort, all of which are native species that thrive in the area’s serpentine meadows. The delicate violet flowers of the Indian Valley brodiaea, a bulbiferous perennial herb that is listed as a State of California endangered species, can also be found tucked into serpentine seeps. Throughout the summer, the small white flowers of the drymary dwarf flax, a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) sensitive species that is endemic to California, are widespread on Molok Luyuk’s higher elevation serpentine slopes. She most recently covered Orange County for The Times and has written extensively about criminal trials, housing, politics and government. In 2020, Fry was part of the team that was a Pulitzer finalist for its coverage of a boat fire that killed 34 people off the coast of Santa Barbara. Fry came to The Times from the Daily Pilot, where she covered coastal cities, education and crime.

Molok Luyuk played an important role in providing for the sustenance of the Patwin communities that were once found in the area. Occupants of nearby villages made seasonal forays to the ridge and flanks of Molok Luyuk in search of manzanita berries, clover, gray pine nuts, acorns, bulbs, and tubers, as well as to hunt elk and deer. Evidence of this cultural story marks the landscape today through numerous lithic scatters — sites containing ancient tools, tool fragments, and lithic flakes from tool production and maintenance — found along Molok Luyuk and around the area’s cold springs.

The group was camping in a vehicle in a remote section of the stormwater-filled Tujunga Wash at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. Hannah Wachs’ family in Tarzana was still without electricity Sunday night, 45 hours after they lost power on Friday. The Wachses sent their three daughters — ages 11, 14 and 16 — to friends’ homes so they could stay warm and get homework done. Utility crews worked through the weekend to restore power to thousands of customers affected by the storm. A Los Angeles Department of Water and Power employee was injured while working in the Valley on Saturday. Both Bear Mountain and Snow Summit were open Sunday after receiving a foot of snow over the course of 24 hours.

After the weekend storm dumped as much as 7 feet of snow on some mountains in the region, ski resorts were encouraging people Sunday to take advantage of the lull in snowfall. The unusually strong winter storm closed the Grapevine — a vital trucking artery across the state — for days, knocked out power to thousands of utility customers, prompted rescues and affected air travel. Lighter showers are expected through Wednesday, but nothing like those that have passed. For many Angelenos, these intense storms served as a reminder not to underestimate Southern California’s capacity for wild weather. San Bernardino County’s mountain communities are still far from recovered almost two weeks since the start of back-to-back monster winter storms.

“It’ll be another shot of some rain and snow, but nothing like we just experienced,” said Thompson, the meteorologist. Downtown Los Angeles has received 18.28 inches of rain since Oct. 1, which marks the beginning of the water year. Last year at this time, only 10.42 inches of precipitation had fallen in the area, according to the National Weather Service.

The bureau is also directed to include the expansion area in the plan for the entire monument and to issue a travel management plan. An avalanche warning was issued for the Sierra Nevada backcountry around Lake Tahoe, which straddles the California-Nevada border. Nearly 2 feet (61 cm) of new snow had fallen by Friday and up to another 5 feet (1.5 meters) was expected when another storm moves in with the potential for gale-force winds and high-intensity flurries Sunday, the weather service said. Rainfall totals as of late Saturday morning were equally stunning, including nearly 15 inches (38.1 centimeters) at Los Angeles County's Cogswell Dam and nearly 10.5 inches (26.6 cm) in the Woodland Hills section of Los Angeles. Rare blizzard warnings for the mountains and widespread flood watches were ending late in the day as the storm tapered off in the region.

Standing at Kenneth Hahn State Recreational Park, the 25-year-old was in awe of the snow-covered Santa Monica and San Gabriel mountains. Peak after peak was blanketed in sparkling white snow under a sunny blue sky and puffy clouds. Consistent with the Representatives' legislation, President Biden’s proclamation directs the federal Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service to improve tribal engagement and co-management of the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument, including for historic preservation, archaeological sites, and forest health. "Elements of the natural landscape on the ridge have traditional cultural significance to us. We look forward to the day when condors fly over Molok Luyuk once again," he said. Under the proclamation, the Bureau of Land Management is mandated to manage the newly expanded monument based on the same terms, conditions, and management as the original monument designation.

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning ahead of forecast blizzard conditions for towns in and around the Sierra Nevada range and issued a blizzard warning for parts of the Sierra, including Interstate 80 and Highway 50, going into effect early Monday morning and lasting until early Wednesday. SkyFOX flew over the snowy San Bernardino Mountains in Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead and Crestline on Thursday morning. On Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency for 13 California counties, including San Bernardino. After days of fierce winds, toppled trees and downed wires, more than 120,000 California utility customers remained without electricity, according to PowerOutage.us.

The storm, fueled by low pressure rotating off the coast, did not depart quietly. Lightning strikes shut down LA County beaches and scattered bursts of snow, showers and thunderstorms persisted. In the Valencia area of north Los Angeles County, the roiling Santa Clara River carried away three motorhomes early Saturday after carving into an embankment where an RV park is located. No one was hurt, KCAL-TV reported, but one resident described the scene as devastating. The Los Angeles River and other waterways that normally flow at a trickle or are dry most of the year were raging with runoff Saturday.

Serpentinite, as this rock is more commonly known, was originally formed deep within the Earth’s mantle and eventually thrust upward through the forces of plate tectonics. The landscape is subtly marked by the smoky gray-green of serpentine rocks and their derivative soils. Rare serpentine soils resulting from eroded serpentinite dominate the ridgeline and eastern flank of Molok Luyuk. These soils have unusually high levels of magnesium and iron and very low levels of nutrients, such as calcium and phosphorus, that are critical for the survival of most plants.

And Interstate 5, the West Coast's major north-south highway, remained closed due to heavy snow and ice in Tejon Pass through the mountains north of Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES — A powerful winter storm that swept down the West Coast with flooding and frigid temperatures shifted its focus to southern California on Saturday, swelling rivers to dangerous levels and dropping snow in even low-lying areas around Los Angeles.

In addition to that, there are many special shows during the holiday season. The Spectrum Center is an indoor arena that you can find in Uptown Charlotte. You can find various different collections of plants at the botanical gardens.

The suspect may have also fired at the officers after he was shot outside the house, Jennings said. "Even though our officers were trying to take cover, they were at a disadvantage because the suspect was up at a higher level and they were trying to return fire from a lower position to an elevated position," the police chief said. The suspect was shooting at the officers from the upstairs of the house, Jennings said. When officers approached a house to arrest the suspect, they were immediately met with gunfire and they returned fire, Jennings said.

Proper certification and/or as-built topographic mapping are required prior to final approval of projects in or near the floodplain. Locate floodplain regulations for each jurisdiction within Mecklenburg County. The regulatory side of Storm Water Services' Flood Mitigation Program focuses heavily on construction. Development in a FEMA or Community Floodplain requires a Floodplain Development Permit from the floodplain administrator.

Decades ago, homes and buildings were often built in floodplains in Charlotte and across the nation. That's because water was easily available for drinking or commercial uses and the floodplain land was often flat and easier to develop than hilly land. Since the late 1970s, building in local floodplains has been restricted. Protecting floodplains from additional development can reduce flood losses and improve the environment. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 308.6 square miles (799 km2), of which 306.6 square miles (794 km2) is land and 2.0 square miles (5.2 km2) is water.

Charlotte, North Carolina

All structures built on lots within the Community and/or FEMA Floodplain will automatically have a Permit and Occupancy Hold placed through the building permit system. After construction of a building is completed, a licensed Land Surveyor or Professional Engineer must fill out and submit to Mecklenburg County Flood Mitigation Program an Elevation Certificate form. The Floodplain Occupancy Hold will be removed, and Certificate of Occupancy will only be issued upon submittal and approval of the FEMA Elevation Certificate.

To comply with federal regulations, a General Floodplain Development Permit has been issued by the Mecklenburg County Floodplain Administrator covering certain activities in the floodplain. These generally include passive land use or activities that do not cause a technically-measurable increase in the Base Flood Elevation. Additional rules and permitting requirements apply to new construction, additions or renovations, even grading the soil in the floodplain.

In addition to that, lots of different live shows take place at Discovery Place Nature. For example, you can sometimes go to a stargazing event and there are live animal encounters. In addition to that, many concerts and other types of events take place at the arena, so this arena has many options if you’re looking for some fun things to do in Charlotte.

Therefore, floodplains can be dangerous during heavy storms and should be avoided when water is present. Eyer, the CMPD officer whose death was announced Monday night, is survived by his wife and a 3-year-old son, the police chief said. In addition to that, you can sometimes attend an event at the museum. For example, there are art classes, there are yoga classes, and sometimes you can do a guided tour of the collection by a museum docent. The Dale F. Halton Theater, one of Charlotte’s best theaters, is a performing arts theater with a capacity of 1,020 people that is part of the Central Piedmont Community College.

This water park is home to many different pools, about 30 water slides, and other fun attractions. There are also 8 NASCAR stock car replicas that have been turned into a racing simulator. Here, you can race against friends and other people at the museum in real time. Whether you love art, music, history, sports, or something else, the things to do in Charlotte are incredible.

With the dissolution of the family line, so too falls the house. Because the last of the Usher line are twins, that the crack divides the house in two signals their eternal separation in death. They get whatever they want, and any children they have will want for nothing. What's better, a shorter life of luxury, or a longer life full of uncertainties?

Roderick knows that she is still alive, but convinces Winthrop that she is dead and rushes to have her entombed in the family crypt beneath the house. As Philip is preparing to leave following the entombment, the butler, Bristol (Harry Ellerbe), lets slip that Madeline suffered from catalepsy. Starting with 2018’s “The Haunting of Hill House,” Flanagan has become synonymous with a slow-burn balance of visceral scares and empathetic human stories, not to mention a preternatural ability to build a mounting sense of dread from every moment. By contrast, “Usher” asks viewers to root against its main characters rather than for them, consistently highlighting how undeserving they are of our sympathy. And the result is a story that holds the viewer at arm’s length from its own emotional core.

After Roderick gives Auguste his final confession, Madeline bursts through the door of the basement and strangles her brother to death — the same way their mother killed their father. Auguste stands outside in horror, as Verna stands atop the wreckage. Roderick and Madeline sold their souls the night they killed Fortunato CEO Rufus Griswold (Michael Trucco) — the same night they met Verna, on New Year’s Eve 1979. Using Griswold as a fall guy to begin Roderick’s takeover, the twins drugged him on the night of the company holiday party. When Griswold woke, he found that they’re sealing him behind a brick wall in the basement of the new Fortunato building he’s constructing. His cries for help were useless, because the holidays meant no one would be back in the building for days.

But he wouldn’t last the night anyway — Madeline poisoned him with cyanide. That [denial] sort of seeps in more and more and more,” Miller said. Throwing a bookend at Alessandra’s head “was not out of spite or cruelty,” said Miller. Unlike other people in this episode, her death wasn’t about that. She truly wanted to save everyone.” Yeah, well, so much for that.

The Masque of the Red Death

Landing on Netflix on October 12th, ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ has Mike Flanagan –– who knows a thing or two about scary stories –– remixing Edgar Allan Poe (ditto) for a truly fun new horror limited series. Of course, Verna has the last word of the series, having known its ending right from the start. She visits the Ushers' graves and places relevant objects on each of their gravestones, including a white rose and raven feather for Lenore, and a whiskey glass for Roderick. Through it all, she recites Poe's poem "Spirits of the Dead" as a strange kind of elegy for the fallen Ushers. Unlike the gruesome deaths of her fathers, aunts, and uncles, Lenore dies peacefully after a visit from Verna.

And if you’re a fan of Flanagan’s spookier offerings, such as his chilling ghost stories, this might not exactly be what you’re hoping for from him. But give it time; it’ll start to win your over with its audacious mix of classic horror and modern sensibilities. Madeline actually attempts to find a loophole in this part of the deal by encouraging Roderick to overdose in episode 7, thinking that the Ushers' reckoning would end with his death. At the start of "The Raven," she brings Roderick back to life and continues her work.

“The Haunted Palace”

A-list musicians can easily sell millions of concert tickets for over $100 each. But it stands as one of the best shows (especially in the wake of the slightly less-than-thrilling ‘The Midnight Club’) that Mike Flanagan and his repertory company have produced. Smartly, Flanagan never pushes the weird style to excess except in certain moments where it actually serves the story; he’s careful to keep the characters largely believable. Anchored by Greenwood, McDonnell and Lumbly, there are few weak links in the ensemble, who bring the various Usher children (plus spouses, offspring, victims and more) to life. Carla Gugino, meanwhile, is pure smoldering brilliance as Verna, the architect of all their pain. Flanagan directed half of the series’ eight episodes, while Michael Fimognari handled the others.

Mary McDonnell as Madeline Usher

The interior defies its exterior in that the interior is eccentric in many ways. I like it, especially the white and dark living room with green furniture. Of course these days, album sales aren’t like they used to be. Now music is streamed on Spotify and Apple Music (we use Spotify and love it). Artists still earn from streaming services, but it’s a different model than the longstanding album sales model. While streaming has hurt artists’ overall revenue, the plus side is that concert tickets sell for way more than they did 20 years ago.

The man behind ‘The Haunting of Hill House’, ‘Midnight Mass’ and other chillers is back with a pointed set of Poe stories combined in a morality play. But wait, Auguste asks, is Roderick sure Madeline actually died? Because based on the sounds coming from the basement, it still seems like she's alive and kicking.

‘Usher’ is Flanagan in a wilder, campier mindset than the mostly moody ‘Midnight Mass’, but that’s not to say that this new series doesn’t work. In fact, a blend of ‘Succession’ and the spooky justice that befalls people in Poe’s stories offers up truly entertaining snark and gore. Based on the quality of ‘House of Usher’, Netflix should be kicking themselves that they let this talented filmmaker slip from their grasp. The latest limited series from Flanagan finds him leaning almost into Ryan Murphy mode with its tale of spoiled siblings and the supernatural comeuppance that hunts them down. The plot for this one takes its inspiration from various Poe stories and poems, including ‘The Pit and the Pendulum,’ ‘The Masque of the Red Death’, ‘Annabel Lee’ and more, weaved in either as narrative elements, settings or character names.

These fill in how the Ushers made their fortune, but they’re kind of a narrative drag. It’s important that Roderick and Madeline are cruel, selfish creatures—less so how they got that way. What’s more interesting is to watch how the fallout of their decisions fell on Roderick’s many children, all torn apart by some of Poe’s most memorable creations.

As the narrator reads of the knight's forcible entry into the dwelling, he and Roderick hear cracking and ripping sounds from somewhere in the house. When the dragon's death cries are described, a real shriek is heard, again within the house. As he relates the shield falling from off the wall, a hollow metallic reverberation can be heard throughout the house. At first, the narrator ignores the noises, but Roderick becomes increasingly hysterical. Roderick eventually declares that he has been hearing these sounds for days, and that they are being made by his sister, who was in fact alive when she was entombed. The Fall of the House of Usher is an American gothic horror drama television miniseries created by Mike Flanagan.

This bloody burial rite is the culmination of several telling moments throughout the season, including Madeline discussing mummification with Lenore in episode 2, and Verna nicknaming Madeline Cleopatra when they first meet in 1979. Roderick also famously opens his arms to any child of his, a gesture that seems uncharacteristically kind when compared to his crimes. But when you know the terms of Verna's deal, it reads less as a kindness than as a gesture of repentance. Roderick knows he's signed away the lives of any of his children, so this is his attempt to make their prematurely shortened lives as luxurious as possible. None of that luxury seems to translate to real love, though, leading to the deeply contentious, cold Usher family dynamic. English majors will likely know where some of the stories are going just by seeing the episode names.

Every member of the Usher bloodline must fall — even innocents like Lenore.

It's a death that brings Verna no joy, given that Lenore is the best of the Ushers. As Roderick puts it earlier in the episode, Lenore got all the wonderful qualities of his first wife Annabel Lee (Katie Siegel). We see this throughout the show, including when Lenore fights for her mother Morella's (Crystal Balint) life and refuses to bow down to Arthur Pym's (Mark Hamill) demands that she do what's best for Fortunato. Madeline approaches the potential consequences of the deal from a different angle, as she has no children who will die along with Roderick.

Carl Lumbly as Detective C. Auguste Dupin

From his arrival, the narrator notes the family's isolationist tendencies, as well as the cryptic and special connection between Madeline and Roderick, the final living members of the Usher family. Throughout the tale and her varying states of consciousness, Madeline completely ignores the narrator's presence. After Roderick Usher claims that Madeline has died, the narrator helps Usher entomb Madeline in an underground vault despite noticing Madeline's flushed, lifelike appearance. In November 2023, Roderick Usher, the CEO of pharmaceutical company Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, loses all six of his children within two weeks. Auguste Dupin, an Assistant United States Attorney who dedicated his career to exposing Fortunato's corruption, to his childhood home, where he tells the true story of his family and unveils the Ushers' darkest secrets.

Episodes

Annabel Lee reveals that she’d tell people “he’s rich” when they’d ask how he stole her kids away. But now she only sees poverty in Roderick, as he starved their children of love. After she turns her back on him, we learn that she died by suicide. The Martian Chronicles, a 1950 collection of stories by Ray Bradbury, contains a novella called "Usher II," a homage to Poe. Its main character, William Stendahl, builds a house based on the specifications from Poe's story to murder his enemies.

Poe conceived of his writing as a response to the literary conventions of this period. In “The Fall of the House of Usher,” he deliberately subverts convention by rejecting the typical practices of preaching or moralizing and instead focusing on affect and unity of atmosphere. At Roderick’s words, the door bursts open, revealing Madeline all in white with blood on her robes. With a moan, she falls on her brother, and, by the time they hit the floor, both Roderick and Madeline are dead. Outside, he looks back just in time to see the house split in two and collapse. The Fall of the House of Usher, supernatural horror story by Edgar Allan Poe, published in Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine in 1839 and issued in Poe’s Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque (1840).

Fearing that her body will be exhumed for medical study, Roderick insists that she be entombed for two weeks in the family tomb located in the house before being permanently buried. The narrator helps Roderick put Madeline's body in the tomb, whereupon the narrator realizes that Madeline and Roderick are twins. The narrator also notes that Madeline's body has rosy cheeks, which sometimes happens after death. Over the next week, both Roderick and the narrator find themselves increasingly agitated.

It feels like padding to get episodes to a full hour when Flanagan and company could have leaned even more into the episodic structure that highlights a single Poe per chapter. As Roderick finishes his story, an eyeless and bloodied Madeline suddenly bursts out of the basement and attacks Roderick as the house begins to crumble around them. In a final burst of strength, Madeline strangles Roderick to death as Auggie flees collapsing home—a sequence that mirrors the ending of Poe's "House of Usher." Decades later, once it became clear that Verna was the one killing off the Usher children, Madeline tried to sidestep the deal by convincing Roderick to kill himself.

All eight episodes were released on Netflix on October 12, 2023, each directed by either Flanagan or Michael Fimognari, with the latter also acting as cinematographer for the entire series. “Stephan is a very talented interior designer with exquisite taste who just opened his eponymous showroom on Santa Monica Boulevard, where he also has his design office. I’ve known Stephan personally for years and always want everything in his home.” —Wendy Haworth.

The writers and critics of Poe’s day rejected many of that movement’s core tenets, including its emphasis on the emotions and the experience of the sublime. Poe’s contemporaries favoured a more realistic approach to writing. Accordingly, commentaries on social injustice, morality, and utilitarianism proliferated in the mid-19th century.

Poe implies incestuous relations sustained the genetic line and that Roderick and Madeline are the products of extensive intermarriage within the Usher family. Within a few hours of the narrator’s arrival, Roderick begins to share some of his theories about his family. Much to the narrator’s surprise, Roderick claims that the Usher mansion is sentient and that it exercises some degree of control over its inhabitants. According to Roderick, Madeline suffers from a cataleptic disease that has gradually limited her mobility.

That's why he stresses to Victorine that her heart mesh research is more important than any other project, leading her to try to fast-track its production. If it were to work, and Roderick were able to stay alive for longer, then the same would go for his family. The eight-episode series is now available to stream on Netflix. As the series draws to a close, Verna—whose name is an anagram of the titular bird in Poe's classic 1845 poem "The Raven"—is shown placing an item on each of the Usher's graves that represents their respective downfalls, closing the loop of her karmic retribution. Roderick then invited Madeline over to their childhood home, where he poisoned her drink and set to work mummifying her. It was shortly after this that Auggie arrived at the house to hear Roderick's confession.

It is revealed that Roderick's sister, Madeline, is also ill and falls into cataleptic, deathlike trances. Roderick and Madeline are the only remaining members of the Usher family. “Lawson-Fenning is tempting to use as a one-stop-shop for a luxe layered home and call it a day. They have an incredibly tasteful assortment of their own custom-designed furniture, textiles, lighting, refurbished vintage pieces, and small accessories spread out over a stunning two-level showroom. Lawson-Fenning is typically the first place I peruse when sourcing for that memorable moment in any install.” —Natalie Myers. It's time for the Usher family to pay for what they agreed to and it's time for Michelle to make quips and Dina to give us all the research and truth bombs.But don't worry!

Camille (Kate Siegel) couldn’t let her animosity toward her half-sister, Victorine LaFourcade (T’Nia Miller), rest, so she goes to Vic’s research facility to dig up more dirt on her unethical experiments. Poe was often dismissed by contemporary literary critics because of the unusual content and brevity of his stories. When his work was critically evaluated, it was condemned for its tendencies toward Romanticism.

Table tennis skills and equipment (rubbers and rackets) are much more complex than the recreational meanderings of basement ping-pong. Table tennis is a sport of a billion unique individual styles (due to infinite combinations of standard and unorthodox grips, stroke execution mechanics and racket designs).

All services for the level program are purchased through plans - either a complete education package or by one level at a time. We provide a training environment for them to practice their skill with qualified trainers. In the future we hope to reach out and establish a small presence in surrounding schools and recreation centers.

Playing Times

However, it’s important to keep certain simple facts in mind before choosing to move up to the sport of table tennis as a serious club player. Table tennis is an extremely racket-sensitive sport and dependent not only on your own playing style but your opponent’s as well. Even many advanced players, let alone newcomers, have absolutely no clue whatsoever about the complexity of modern rackets. Our program for developing a player’s table tennis skill has three levels. Each level consists of four one-hour education sessions, and player progress is evaluated through four multiple choice quizzes, a skills test, and a cumulative multiple choice exam.

Level 3

For youth athletes that wish to continue with our training and direction, we provide three services. A match is generally played best 3 of 5 games (or occasionaly 4/7 or 5/9). For each game, the first player to reach 11 points wins that game.

Memberships Fees

We have long retired members, 6 year old prodigies and all between. We have long retired members, 6 year old prodigies, and all between. We are striving to make this as affordable as possible and are one of the least expensive table tennis clubs in the country. This also means that if you do not pay you will not be able to play. After a brief warmup (generally 2-5 minutes maximum), the players “choose” the server.

First Time

The skills test and cumulative exam will require a passing score to unlock the next educational level. Each education level has a corresponding training package. Players use the training service to help get a passing grade on the final examinations. A recreational ping-pong player's first visit to a competitive table tennis club can be daunting. There are youngsters whose shoulders barely clear the tabletop hitting forehand topspin balls at astonishing velocity and octogenarians whose skill with long pips rubber makes the ball seem to defy the laws of physics. Many of us grew up playing ping-pong in a basement or garage, with a recreational or even homemade table and hard rubber pips out paddles from Sears.

Charlotte Table Tennis Club

There is no reason to quit coming to our club after just few days or weeks or even few months. Most serious club table tennis players understand how complex table tennis is and don’t think of you as any less of an athlete or a person even if you keep losing to most other club players for years to come. Most are more than willing to help you nonetheless, in every way possible to improve your skill level, regardless of whether you are an absolute beginner or even an advanced player. Even if you are not interested in spending lots of money on equipment, you can get a good “basic” setup for less than $100 that can last for years.

Park ONLY in the designated spaces and DO NOT double park. The Charlotte Table Tennis Club meets at First United Methodist Church in uptown Charlotte. We use the door on the north side of the church toward the back, between the small surface parking lot and the playground. We have partnered with the Charlotte Table Tennis Club and their 30 year presence in the community. When we met they were lacking a strong development program for their club members. Together we were able to succeed in meeting both our missions.

PARKINGPreferred parking is in the 525 N Tryon garage – the entrance is on 9th street. Park in any space that is not numbered or does not say Reserved. Bring the ticket in to validate at the scanner on the 2nd floor. Use the elevator that says Child Development Center and Church Offices. Go up to level ⭐️ P and follow the ping pong paddle signs. Tickets often need to be scanned twice – make sure you get the green message and not the red message after scanning.

Detailed lesson plans and player progress tracking allow us to bring in more educators and trainers as needed. The levels give players defined goals that are attained by their own design and labor. They choose how much training between each education session. Each player, educator, and trainer knows where they are in a linear developmental program so progress from any starting point can be made quickly. Welcome to the world of table tennis and congratulations on taking the steps to move up to the Olympic athletic sport of table tennis from the recreational basement game of ping-pong.

Traditionally, this is done by one player rolling the ball off the table into one hand or the other (hidden below the table) and the opponent “chooses” a hand. If the hidden hand with the ball is chosen then that player can choose to serve (what most players do) or choose which end of the table to play from (in which case that player does not get the initial serve). But the server can be chosen by flipping a coin, paper/scissors/rock, or however the two players decide to do it–it doesn’t matter.
