Casey's Crisp & Contemporary DC Digs
House Tour
Location: Chinatown - Washington, DC
Size: 880 square feet
Years lived in: 8 years; owned
Casey Patten is the co-owner of Washington, DC's award-winning and wildly popular Philly-style sandwich shops, Taylor Gourmet. Known for their painstaking dedication to re-creating Philadelphia's famous hoagies miles away from home, Taylor Gourmet has served everyone from an approving President Obama on down to this girl, whose favorite sandwich is the Schuylkill Expressway (prosciutto, red peppers and sharp provolone... mmm). General consensus in the District is that they've got the sandwich-making down pat.

But this excruciating attention to detail doesn't stop at hoagies. Casey also has an eye for spatial detail and design, plainly apparent at each Taylor Gourmet location and now, in his own apartment. With the help of the team at Grupo7 Architecture + Interiors, he has just completed construction on a crisp and stylishly masculine space in what might have otherwise been just another cookie cutter condo in Chinatown. Materials like the back-lit pine slats on the bedroom wall and the hot rolled steel that trims the floor give the place a sort of raw and industrial grit, while other touches (gorgeous light washing the white vinyl wallpaper in the living room and some seriously covetable kitchen appliances) add an urban polish that makes it all feel finished.
Outside, a (deceptively large) terrace is the site of a lot of late nights and grilling out. Orange furniture and accents pop from the stone and the stacks of truck tires which have been cleverly re-purposed as vegetable planters. Cleverly acquired, too — he bartered with a local car dealership to bring them home. The chosen form of currency? Hoagies.

Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Clean and contemporary.
Inspiration: My inspiration was to create a space that was comfortable yet stylish, inviting without being cold.
Favorite Element: I think what makes this space so unique is the large outdoor terrace that is enclosed between two buildings, rather than open to the city. It's somewhat of an escape from the very busy Chinatown neighborhood because it's quiet and you don't even feel like you're in the city. I tried to make it a unique space by adding elements such as tomato plants in recycled car tires and other fruits and vegetables, such a jalapenos and strawberries. It's a great place to have friends over in the spring and summer where we grill and just hang out. The bright orange accent pieces tied with the colorful plants and flowers make for a fun; yet zen-like space. The two Boxers especially love it. It makes having two dogs in the city a lot easier and more enjoyable.
Another favorite from the recent redesign is the white vinyl wallpaper
in the living room. We railroaded this wallpaper (turned the wallpaper
the opposite way it was supposed to be laid) so it catches all of the
lights and the shadows from the LED lights above. Also, the handmade
metal baseboards that were made by our iron worker, who does all the
commercial work for Taylor Gourmet.
Biggest Challenge: The lighting. This unit is located on the 7th floor on the courtyard, so the light is only strong during the early half of the day. We wanted to come up with a way to create a feel of natural light when there was none available. Jim and Audrey at Grupo7 came up with great suggestions for lighting in the living room and bedroom. In the living room, we created a small drop ceiling off the concrete slab to allow for cove lighting to run the perimeter of the space. We used LED rope lights that give off great, intense white light. We installed a lighting track hidden in the ceiling and chose low profile, high wattage track heads to light the space. For accent lighting, we installed a pine wood piece that "houses" the bed and is back-lit, with a bright orange color painted behind the wood to give the bedroom a color pop.
What Friends Say: My place is often a hangout for our friends due to its central downtown location and the contemporary feel. I love to cook and grill, so I often have people over for barbecues and dinner parties where everyone enjoys the outdoor terrace.
Biggest Embarrassment: Probably the amount of time it took to complete this project (roughly a year!). Once the main construction had been done, the smaller pieces were tough finds. For example, I just installed the door pulls on the kitchen cabinets. No, really.
Proudest DIY: Probably elements of the outdoor space - more specifically, the tire
planters I planted tomatoes in. Well, actually I have to give my
girlfriend most of the credit for the planting outside (I hate dirt and a
woman's touch always helps). We found the idea in a magazine to use
recycled tires of different sizes to plant large vegetable plants. I
picked up the tires from a car dealership and spray painted them grey to
match the rest of the furniture. They've been awesome for producing
enormous tomato plants with lots of fruit. I'm really not that handy;
hence, "helping" with the planting was my proudest moment.
Biggest Indulgence: I tried my best to be as frugal as possible, but the Viking kitchen appliances were probably my biggest splurge.
Best Advice: Create a space that you're excited to come home to and where your friends and family want to come hang out. I can say I've
created this environment for me, to the point where it's hard to get me
away on vacation to stay in other places for too long a period.

I think the link to get into the tour is broken!
Maye - We're looking into it. It may be browser related. I can see it fine in Chrome, but I tested in Safari and could not. Thanks for your patience.
It's a rather Spartan interior which is not for me but I am impressed that Casey can maintain such minimalist lifestyle.
I love the outdoors "partition - what looks like a sail or some kind of canvas stretched on a frame - was it a DIY? That's genius. Oh and the tomatoes planted in tires - thumbs up to that!
I want to know how many non-Philly people pronounce Schuylkill correctly :)
It also better be one tasty sandwich to live down that name.
Really good sandwiches. Taylor's is one of my regular stops. Also love the eateries--they're really beautiful. But, I have to admit, I find this apartment a little sterile, and I love minimalist modern.
Can you give more information on the kitchen cabinetry. Really beautiful home!
I'm a big fan of minimalism generally, but as much as I love this place, it almost feels as if he hasn't even moved in yet! That said, great color combo in the kitchen area in particular.
Oh, those cabs! I wish I had the cajones to do that!
a boxer!!!!!!!!!! a boxer!!!!!!!! I had two of them, now everytime I come across a boxer in the street it's like he knows I'm a boxer fan, the look in his/her eyes says so. crazy? if you are not a boxer fan maybe, if you are one, not.
Love the idea of using tires, I am definitely going to use that next year on my small balcony.
Beautifully done,if you like this look.Very masculine.
Wow, that's about as far from cookie-cutter condo as you can get! I'm sure the imaginative lighting gives the space an elegance that can't be reproduced properly in photos. Love the tile, love the kitchen cabinets, love the hand-crafted details. I used to live in the District and let me just say I'd still be there if I had that terrace. Amazing that something so restful looking is in DC's Chinatown. (And the tires are genius.) Congrats to Mr. Patten for having such refined taste and the wherewithal to hire such a great team.
Super especially your 'garden'.
is it healthy to grow food in a container that's full of chemicals? eeek
A few things:
- Spraypainting the tires that you're going to grow food in? Is that safe?
- The house, as someone else mentioned above, looks like he's barely moved in. I understand cleaning and staging for a house tour, and I DO appreciate the absence of close-up shots of knick knacks, but this seems really cold and impersonal.
- I want to hug that dog until he doesn't look sad anymore.
I don't think it's a big deal to spray paint tires or use tires, as long as you clean them. You could also seal them if you're painting them.
AT, I love the new way of viewing the photos! They are much larger and you can see a lot more detail in the pix. And you can just close down the pix and be right back to the original post and out of the original post easy-peasey. Much improved. If I had one wish it would be that it was applied to all previous house tours retroactively!
Love it all! I'd also like to know how you did the outside partition. Am looking to privacy proof two long & very ugly metal gates. Did you DYI or use a fencing supply or awning company or...??
love the boxer!!!
I love it . Beautiful to look at, easy to keep clean. No junk , no tons of knickknacks everywhere.
I would love to know how you achieved the look of the wall behind the television in the living room! To me it kind of looks like blackboard paint that has had chalk smudged/erased all over it, but I can't tell for sure. Completely in love with it, though.
I love EVERYTHING about this place. Going to definitely borrow some ideas for my loft. Wonderful, masculine, peaceful, creative. FAB!!!! One of my very favorites.
Great lighting solutions!
An absolutely stunning modern space. I just cant look past that dated 70's thermostat...
Clean, contemporary, minimalist, beautiful home. Love. It.

Grim Hammer made this incredibly awesome Voltron costume for his daughter. But, as amazing as this painstakingly detailed costume is, it must be acknowledged that what makes it truly awesome is the amount of moxie radiating from this fierce little girl.
And just in case you were wondering if Grim Hammer has made any other awesome costumes (because we certainly were) you should check out Bumblee from Transformers, Megazord from Power Rangers, and, last but not least, a completely fearsome Predator!

I've not updated my recipe's in a while, but fret no more, we're going to start early this year with the gathering of some Halloween recipes and this one is fun and healthy and really simple (not to mention it looks freaking cool). So here we go!
Red food colouring/fake blood/red icing sugar
Quarter and core an apple, cut a wedge from the skin side of each quarter and then press slivered almonds in place for the teeth. If you want to, you could carefully drip some "blood" in the "mouth" to make it seem more terrible.
If you're not serving your apple bites immediately, don't forget to baste them with orange juice to keep them from browning.

Some people think or believe that foster parents are waiting, hoping, praying that the biological parents mess up or choose not to follow their plan to get their children back. If this was the case, then foster parents would not be willing to take foster children short term (2 or 3 weeks) or until kinship placement is worked out.
For the most part, I believe most foster parents do it for the children. Yes, I do know there are a few bad ones that do it for the money. I would think there would be a more involved way to help biological parents with counseling, teaching parenting classes, etc. if that was your goal.
Child welfare's goal is to assist the parents in receiving the help they need and then reuniting the family. Even when it may not be in the best interest of the children because that is the primary goal. Foster care is not black and white it is full of gray areas.
Judges tend to be pro unification maybe because it does look better for their record. The judge's job is to see that the parents' rights are protected and they have their day in court. Which I totally support.
Here lays the problem. Who is looking solely for the foster children? Who looks out for their rights and takes into account what is in their best interest?
As the foster parent, I want what is best for the children that I am caring for. Sadly, there are a number of placements that the foster parent may truly feel in their heart is not in the best interest of the children. A lot of this is common sense by watching the interaction or lack of it with the children and parents. Talking to these parents, knowing what is going on in their lives you can get a pretty clear idea of what is important at this time in their lives.

Director Carol Reed enjoyed a sterling reputation as a master of black-and-white suspense films such as Odd Man Out (1947) and The Third Man (1949). But could he succeed in color with a simple motion picture about a child who believes in unicorns? The film community asked that question when Reed debuted A Kid for Two Farthings in 1955. But there is real magic in the film -- the magic of childhood, when all things are possible and hope stokes the fires of imagination. The film is commendable for its gentle humor, gemutlich goodwill, and humanitarian theme. Moreover, it boasts a fine performance by Kassoff as the wise old Kandinsky, who helps lead Joe out of the fantasies of youth and into the reality that growing up imposes on him. In addition, it captures in Technicolor the dash and dawdle of life in Petticoat Lane, complete with its cast of street vendors, shopkeepers, and factory workers. But the film comes a cropper when it focuses too much attention on a wrestling match between a chap named Sam (Joe Robinson) (backed by the power of the unicorn) and a bruising sadist named Python Macklin (Primo Carnera). Neither the acting of the bone-crushers nor the match itself is uplifting, and the sequence does little to support the theme. The British accents of Joe and his mom are also a problem. Although they're supposed to be denizens of a neighborhood where the patois of the cockney holds sway, they speak like royals at teatime. Overall the film is a good one, but it certainly isn't in the class of Reed's earlier masterpieces.

This Just In: Dolbeau "Go-to-Hell" Multicolored Oxford Bow Tie
$60 @ Dolbeau (We got it for free!)
The kind people at Dolbeau were nice enough to send me this beautiful bow tie. I've been trying to step up my bow tie game and this just earned me a 1up. It can be worn 8 different ways. That's about $8 per bow. Can't beat that. The fabric and construction are both amazing. I was hesitant about spending $60 on a bow tie (and I didn't have too), but after handling this one, these things are clearly underpriced. Top notch. I especially love the bone buttons. Excellent touch. Thanks for the great bow, Dolbeau.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: well organised race, I'll be back next yearIn full: V well organised half marathon with good marshalling and signs.As others have mentioned more trail would have been nice, but great not having to run on roads!1st 6 miles along the canal towpath was reasonably scenic, but the miles in the woods were much better.I was expecting more hills, but was also grateful there weren't more!Overall a good race that I will be back for next year.Date of review: November 23, 2011
In short: Well organised and great sceneryIn full: V well organised race. Well marshalled and signposted. Was nice running through the woods.Only downside was the start as it got quite crammed and jammed up.I'll be back next year.Date of review: November 5, 2011
In short: Hot, hot, hot, but still a great race and will be back next yearIn full: It has to be the hottest race I've done. Great scenery, but too hot for the hills! I hadn't done enough training this year due to injury, but still haven't missed one yet and will continue to travel back from London for it!The swipe card checkpoints are better than last years "dibber" system. Getting split times at the end is still a good idea. The additional checkpoint kept people honest across the field near Bordley Farm. The unmanned checkpoints were marked more clearly with signs than last year.My only gripe is that the t-shirts were none descript this year. The t-shirts from the 1st 2 or 3 races were great as they had the year on them, the event, and a map of the route. The ones this year simply had marathon events written on them. Please, please revert to t-shirts that explain the race that we have run.Apart from that the organisation was fantastic as have all these races that I have run.I will be back again next year, but I will have done more training!I recommend you come and run this before it gets too popular. There were 225+ in the 1/2 and 90+ in the full marathon.This is a must-do race as it is a spectacular one-off.....Date of review: June 7, 2010
In short: Well organised raceIn full: This was my 3rd year on the trot doing this race. It was well organised as have the other races. The only reason I am not running again is because I am looking for new race challenges, which are slightly less crammed on the route.The pen/wave system at the start is a good idea, but I just wish people would be honest about their estimated times when entering! It just means that those behind end up passing lots of people that are walking! The support is good all around the course and it is nice running with a reasonable number of other people, but I think the sheer numbers of people can inhibit getting a PB.I would recommend this race more for beginners and intermediate runners looking for good support and excellent organisation.Date of review: June 3, 2010
In short: Well organised enjoyable flat raceIn full: Bit warm for me, but the race was well organised and the marshalls were very encouraging.Some of the towpath was a bit uneven and narrow due to repairs, but it was great running along the river on a sunny day.This is a flat race which is welcoming to all abilities. Really enjoyable running along the river.The pint glass was a nice touch and the water stations were very welcome!I would defintely recommend this race and I will be back next year.Date of review: April 19, 2010
In short: 2nd year on the trot and will be backIn full: Well organised race with good marshalls.Challenging hill, which you do twice, but keeps things interesting!Good value for a London 10km and probably one of the best. Good that there are not too many runners because some of the route would get clogged up.Highly recommended if you live in London as easy to get to by public transport etc.Will be back next year.Date of review: March 16, 2010
In short: Newcastle and the North East did themselves proud....In full: The best part is the atmosphere as the whole of the north east came out to support or so it seemed! Only better atmosphere is the London marathon. Locals were using hosepipes to cool runners down, giving out water, playing music and v supportive.Urinals were a good idea.Also plenty of water at starting pens and even at Metro stations!Downside was far too many runners - no hope of a PB if you have been truthful about your finishing time! The roads at various points are packed particularly at the start and finish.They need to ban ipods etc as saw too many ambulances trying to get to people, but couldn't get through runners listening to music! This is a critical issue and they need to ban them now. Also if you are trying to pass people they are unable to hear you.Take your own toilet roll! Simply not enough toilet roll. Felt sorry for the ladies.The entry fee of £45 is v expensive for a 1/2 marathon. They know they will get enough entries so the price can be as high as they want it to be!Technical t-shirt should be included in the goody bag.The entry fee should include either a day pass on the Metro or free travel on the buses!Left feeling that I got robbed by the organisers at every opportunity!Also if you defer you don't get any of the £45 entry fee and have to pay all over again next year - is this the spirit of running?Great atmosphere, but just too many runners. I expected more from it all!Date of review: September 21, 2009
In short: good well organised raceIn full: Good, well organised race. Great support from the marshalls and at the water station.2 slight gripes.Chip timing does not start when you cross the start line, but when the gun goes off, so if you are near the back then your own watch will be more accurate and faster!The goody bag was a bit of a disappointment after last year. I'm sure alot of people would prefer a medal/t-shirt rather than a bagel! The bottle of water at the finish was nice though.Overall a good race and will run it again. Fast course and traffic free.Date of review: August 18, 2009
In short: Well organised raceIn full: I feel that some of the other comments are unfair. Please remember that this is a charity race.I think this race offers value for money and was well organised. It is flat and offers a good route for beginners as well as club runners.There were plenty of toilets including urinals for men and they were 800m from the start, which is not too far!As improvements I would suggest an earlier start and not giving water out 800m after the start. This is probably the reason along with some people taking more than 1 bottle that there was no water at the finish.The medals and chip timing were a good idea. And the BBQ, tea/coffee and ice cream van was a nice touch.We will be back next year.Date of review: June 16, 2009
In short: Excellent race. Make sure you do this race...In full: This was my 4th consecutive year. Gets better every year. Will be back next year.Travel up from London every year to run this race.The sportident was a great idea, so no more stamping of paper at checkpoints. Get a print out of splits when you finish, which was great.Weather was better than the previous couple when it has been boiling hot!This race is v well organised. It has great scenery with some pretty punishing hills.The size has increased each year, so make sure come and run it before everyone else!If you have 1 race left to run do this one.Awesome race.....Date of review: June 8, 2009

In New York State, autumn is a beautiful season to get outdoors. As leaf peeping season approaches and peaks, with hints of cold weather ahead, allow yourself to bask in the glow, appreciate the brilliant colors, and enjoy being in nature.
Autumn displays its best finery in New York's State Parks, National Historic Landmarks, wildlife refuges and nature preserves. You'll find easy-to-challenging hiking trails and picnic sites by rushing streams. View a magnificent waterfall or a scenic overlook, just steps from your car; hike or ride horseback to secluded destinations. Or, watch the passing landscape from a bigger window, complete with meals, on the Saratoga & North Creek Railway.
Only-in-New-York annual events highlight specific wonders of nature, such as Raptor Day at Wave Hill Garden in the Bronx. Check out the Hudson Valley Ramble events: guided walks and kayaking tours are infused with river heritage and history. Further upstate, take a boat cruise to Boldt Castle and enjoy a wine festival and farmers market on Heart Island.
Bird watching enthusiasts can train their attention on the migrating flocks at Jamaica Bay and thrill to see soaring bald eagles at the Huyck Preserve. Nature preserves allow wildlife viewing in peaceful habitats: try Long Island's Sand Point Preserve or the Adirondacks.
The Finger Lakes' "Vistas to Vineyards" tour for two-wheeled wine enthusiasts combines fun with great exercise, too. Meander along the eight scenic routes by Lake Ontario and the Erie Canal -- they include bike trails through Amish country.
Many communities have designated bike paths and rail trails, and most State Parks offer trails for biking, hiking and sometimes horseback riding too. Reserve a post-Labor Day lakeside camping area – they often have boat launches and allow fishing. Visit the Catskill Forest Preserve or State Parks in Allegany and Letchworth for big picture views of nature's beauty.
New York museums and nature centers offer activities both indoors and out. The Adirondack Museum and The Wild Center in Tupper Lake are well-known destinations; the Rochester Museum and Science Center has a planetarium. The Brooklyn Children's Museum, Long Island's Science Center and the Thousand Islands' Aqua Zoo Aquarium are fascinating for the whole family.
Looking for unusual outdoor excursions? Tour Slabsides, the retreat of famed naturalist John Burroughs. Go geocaching near Watkins Glen State Park. Try your luck mining for Herkimer diamonds. Or attend a unique outdoor event at night: Night Lights at Griffis Sculpture Park illuminates nature and art, and Hyde Park holds a historic graveyard tour by lantern light, if you like your history on the spooky side.
Or, just enjoy a simple, fall kind of day. Pack a snack of New York State cheeses and apples from a farm stand, and maybe a cider donut, and take a hike. Classic!

Amazing Subway Beatboxer
I think this dude may have swallowed some of Skrillex's audio gear because there's no way an ordinary human being's mouth should be able to make all these noises at once.

It's easy to hate on Skrillex since hating popular things just seems to be the status quo these days, but no matter which side of the Skrillex/dubstep fence you stand on, this game is definitely worth checking out.
The heavily 8-bit inspired Skrillex Quest mixes hints of Zelda, Journey, Ico, and Sword & Sworcery with trippy, glitchy, epileptic shock-inducing graphics. And, yes, it's set to a Skrillex track (but it's more chill and trance-y compared to his more violently wubby stuff) and uses iconic cues from his arsenal of songs as sound effects. If all that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, just mute it, but it definitely adds to the overall experience.
The whole game can be completed in around 20 minutes. Check it out for free at SkrillexQuest.com.
It's also worth mentioning that this was made by Jason Oda, the same guy who made the incredible Flash game based on one of my favorite 80's sitcoms, Perfect Strangers.
Are you a person with ears that enjoy being filled with the sounds of righteousness like Das Racist, Santigold, Ben Folds Five, Jack White, Nas, M83, ZZ Top, Alabama Shakes, Skrillex, and Portugal, The Man? Then, hey! Guess what? We're totally giving away tickets to a thing you'll probably like!
We did it last year and we're doing it again this year. Click the pic up top to find out how to win a pair of tickets to Virgin Mobile FreeFest, an all-day festival of sights and sounds dedicated to helping youth homelessness. It's also a good place to get sweaty and weird with a mob of total strangers.
If you win, just be sure to stop me at the venue to say thank you in person. Not doing so would just be rude.
Chiptune musician Superpowerless recently kicked off a new YouTube channel which he describes as "purely for inappropriately gameboy soloing all the way through every song ever." Describing this dude as "awesome" would be an understatement. Plus, he has really good hair and a dreamy accent.
If the Skrillex choonage up top didn't wet your whistle, check out some Game Boy soloing over "Never Gonna' Give You Up" and "Call Me Maybe" below.
And if that still isn't enough, check out this rad video for Superpowerless' song "Wasted My Time" that was funded by MTV and Vodaphone back in 2009 when he won their Fast Track competition.
Be sure to follow Superpowerless on YouTube, Bandcamp, Twitter, and Facebook. You can check out his Game Boy Solo channel here.

BendixKing announced a new integrated cockpit retrofit for turboprops and light jets, as well as a new series of ADS-B avionics and FAA certification of its KSN 770 navigator, today on the opening day of EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis.
Primary flight display
The Viking 400 Series Twin Otter will soon come equipped with a Safe Flight angle-of-attack (AoA) indicator as standard equipment. The TSO'd system consists of a lift transducer, computer and a speed indexer. The speed indexer provides the pilot heads-up guidance to approach AoA. The computer provides Arinc outputs to drive low airspeed awareness and AoA displays on the primary flight display. Safe Flight's lift transducer is a heated leading edge sensor and is cleared for flights into known icing conditions.
Aspen Avionics is extending its reach further into the general aviation market with a new VFR version of its primary flight display (PFD) glass panel retrofit product. Retailing for $4,995 (plus installation), the VFR 1000 PFD offers owners of older aircraft a way to add a single glass panel that replaces the traditional six-pack instruments, then later add additional capabilities, which are available as software upgrades. "This is tailored for the VFR pilot," said John Uczekaj, Aspen president and CEO.
Vector Aerospace Helicopter Services, North America, a subsidiary of Vector Aerospace (Booth No. 5906), has brought a custom-modified integrated cockpit for display at Heli-Expo 2014. The cockpit consists of two Sagem 10-inch multifunction displays (MFDs) and two Sagem 10-inch primary flight displays (PFDs) for right or left seat operations. It is part of Vector Aerospace's Bell Huey UH-1H (civilian Bell 205A) upgrade program.
Scott's-Bell 47 (SB47, Booth No. 7422) has selected the Sagem (Booth No. 2814) ICDS-8A glass cockpit suite as part of the standard avionics package for the new 47GT-6 helicopter.
Helicopter manufacturers aren't immune to the pressure to update their machines with modern avionics, and last year MD Helicopters and Universal Avionics Systems unveiled a new NextGen flight deck mockup for the MD 902 Explorer. The new avionics replace aging Bendix/King EFIS 40 cathode-ray-tube displays with high-resolution 10.4-inch Universal LCDs in landscape orientation.
The Pilatus PC-12/47E is the subject of a new FAA Airworthiness Directive that describes the unsafe condition as common grounding of both the pilot primary flight display (PFD) and the electronic standby instrument system (ESIS). If the common ground fails, both navigation systems could fail simultaneously, which could result in loss of control.
Honeywell, which provides SmartView synthetic-vision systems (SVS) for Gulfstream business jets with PlaneView avionics, Falcon jets with EASy II flight decks and Pilatus PC-12 NG turboprops with Apex cockpits, is far along in its development of a combined vision system (CVS), which marries forward-looking infrared to SVS, for helicopters.
Cutter Aviation received FAA STC approval for installation of Garmin G950 retrofit avionics in Piper Meridians with either the original Meggitt or Avidyne EFIS systems. The retrofit includes a new, custom-engineered panel and glareshield, providing a cleaner and more modern panel design. The package features two or three 12-inch Garmin displays (single primary flight display and single multifunction display or dual PFD/single MFD). Additionally, the G950 system incorporates the S-Tec IntelliFlight/Magic 1500 autopilot.
The UK's Air Accident Investigation Board (AAIB) last month released details of the Dash 8 incident at Exeter Airport (EGTE) in Southwestern England, in September 2010.

DoD constructing offensive, defensive cyber teams
U.S. Cyber Command is putting together dozens of groups to defend the military's network, to work with combatant commanders on offensive tactics and to respond to attacks against the nation. Gen. Keith Alexander, however, said budget cuts will delay DoD's ability to recruit and train team members.

Nolan Arenado Sets New Rockies Hit Streak Record
Tallying yet another hit on Thursday night against the Rangers, Nolan Arenado pushed his average for the season up to .322, but more importantly extended his league-leading hitting streak up to a respectable 28 straight games. That puts him first in Rockies' history in terms of consecutive games with a hit, surpassing Michael Cuddyer's mark of 27 games, which he set last season.
Sitting halfway from Joe DiMaggio's all-time hitting streak record of 56 games, it's far too early to begin talking about Arenado charging past, arguably, the most impressive baseball record of them all — one that many people believe will never be beaten. (If it were to happen, Arenado's 57th straight game with a hit would come on June 11th in Atlanta).
Nonetheless, what Arenado has been able to do over the past month or so — getting at least one hit in every game since April 9th — has been nothing short of remarkable.
But hitting streak aside, at just 23 years old, Arenado is quickly earning the recognition and respect that he deserves as one of the top young players in the game today.
After becoming just the tenth rookie to ever win a Gold Glove award, for his defense at third base in 2013 that rivals nearly every other infielder in all of baseball, Arenado is on his way to becoming a full on superstar.
And therefore, if you aren't familiar with Nolan Arenado — perhaps you hadn't ever heard of him until reading this post? — start paying close attention. Arenado is an extremely exciting player, and from what he's been able to accomplish so far in his young career, the future would appear to be bright for Arenado (and the resurging Colorado Rockies) moving forward.
Beat the Streak Returns for Its 14th Year
Ever since MLB.com debuted the fantasy baseball style game 'Beat the Streak' back in 2001, fans all around the country have been doing their very best to pick up some cash, while at the same time "beating" Joe DiMaggio's hit streak of 56 games. With a 57-game hit streak of sorts needed to beat the streak and claim the money ($10,000 being the top prize back in 2001), fans have developed all kinds of strategies that they felt certain would help them win the game.
But no one has done it yet — in fourteen years.
Truly incredible when you think about it, that not one person has even come close to winning 'Beat the Streak', with a fan back in 2007 coming the closest of anyone, amassing a hit streak of 49 games. And therefore, since 2001, MLB.com has upped the prize money. For the past several years, the top prize for breaking the hit streak has been 5.6 million dollars (yes, MILLION). That's a pretty good prize for a free online baseball game.
The rules of the game are fairly straight forward: Pick up to two players a day that you think are the most likely to get a hit. If the player(s) you selected get a hit, your streak climbs. If, however, your player — or either player, if you pick two in a day — doesn't get a hit, your streak falls all the way back down to zero. That can be discouraging, especially if you were in a groove and had a good streak going; making this a fun, but somewhat stressful, and seemingly impossible, game to play.
Nonetheless, MLB.com is doing its very best to help someone win the game. Debuting last season was a Dunkin Donuts mulligan, which you could use only once throughout the entire season, but that saved any streak lower than 10, should your chosen player not get a hit. This season, they increased it to a 15-game hit streak, and that could possibly make the mulligan an even bigger help.
But you don't necessarily have to come close to beating the streak to win some sort of prize. For the first time, the game is offering scratch off cards (electronic ones) that give you the chance of winning MLB game tickets, Dunkin' Donuts gift cards, MLB.TV subscriptions, merchandise and much more. With all the possible prizes and neat stuff you can get, this year's 'Beat the Streak' could turn out to be the best one yet.
While the odds may seem slim, they're actually your best odds to win this amount of money. It's not easy to win 'Beat the Streak' by any means, but with your odds of winning 5.6 million dollars being less than one in a million, by many accounts, you stand a better chance of winning this game than you do your local lottery. (Unlike the lottery, where you get one shot, you get multiple chances in a game for your player to get a hit. )
So give it a shot. It doesn't cost anything, so you have nothing to lose. And who knows, maybe, with a little luck, you'll be the first person ever to beat the streak and take home the money. That's definitely worth playing for.
Yasiel Puig Deserves To Be An All-Star This Year
There is currently a great debate going around the baseball world as to whether or not Yasiel Puig should be an All-Star this year. He certainly has the stats to warrant it, but some say he hasn't been in the major leagues long enough to receive the honor. I for one think Puig deserves to take part in the 2013 All-Star game at Citi Field, on July 16th.
Just taking a look at his insane stats makes it an easy decision for me. Puig is currently batting .440 with 8 home runs and 18 RBI's, including a .466 on base percentage. While that's only coming over the course of 28 games, that translates into 116 plate appearances; so it's not like it's an extremely small sample size. Puig has proven to be consistent, regardless of the amount of time he's been in the big leagues.
But it's not just the physical stats. Puig brings a level of intensity to the field that you don't find with many other players–it could be argued that he plays even harder than Bryce Harper. He give 110% every game, and never gives up on plays no matter how unlikely they seem. That's the kind of player I want to see as an All-Star. Just because he doesn't have a lot of experience, doesn't mean he doesn't have a lot of natural talent. That beats experience any day, in my book.
Having the ability to impact any team he's on–showing that presence by helping to turn around the Dodgers–Puig would be a vital asset to the National League team, in my opinion. As important as the All-Star game has become, I would think they'd want all the help they can get, and that includes a star like Puig.
Puig has been compared to guys such as Bo Jackson, and is coming off of the best first month to start a career since Joe DiMaggio. Anytime you're associated with names like that, then of course I feel you should be an All-Star. I truly don't get why some people don't think Puig should be. Time in the majors doesn't mean anything when you're as good as Puig is.
If Puig can keep up his hot start, he could possibly win rookie of the year; if the Dodgers make the playoffs, he stands a good shot to win MVP; but even before all of that, with the way he's playing, I think he should be an All-Star.
David Ortiz Extends Hit Streak: Worth Watching Yet?
David Ortiz didn't waste any time extending his hit streak to 27 straight games in Tuesday's game versus the Twins, singling in his first at-bat of the game. Given, only 15 of the games in Ortiz's streak have come this year, with the remaining 12 carrying over from last season, but it's still an impressive streak, nonetheless. Which begs the question: When do you need to start paying attention to a hit streak?
To me, a hit streak doesn't become worthwhile until a player passes the 30 game mark. Up until then, it's not all that rare of a feat. But once a player begins to climb up through the thirties, as a baseball fan, you generally begin to pay attention–speculating how far the particular player can take it.
Of course, the all-time hit streak is held by Joe DiMaggio, who hit in an unbelievable stretch of 56 straight games, from May 15, 1941 through July 16, 1941. A record which many believe will never be broken–the ultimate feat for a baseball player.
But while it's a long-shot that Ortiz will go on to pass Joe DiMaggio–if he does, playing in every game, the record breaking hit will take place on June 8th in Boston–many are disputing over whether it should count as a streak at all; saying that a true hit streak is one that takes place over the course of a single season. I somewhat agree, but at the same time, I'd love to see a guy like David Ortiz be the one to break the record. He's one of those guys who you can't help but root for.
David Ortiz sits 12 games shy of the all-time hit streak for a designated hitter, and 29 games back of the all-time hit streak in the history of Major League Baseball.
David Ortiz went hitless in his next game, ending his streak at 27 games.

How to Install CyanogenMod on the Oppo Find 5 ("find5")
This guide will walk you through the process of taking the Find 5 from stock to having a custom recovery image and the ability to flash the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Note: DISCLAIMER
Modifying or replacing your device's software may void your device's warranty, lead to data loss, hair loss, financial loss, privacy loss, security breaches, or other damage, and therefore must be done entirely at your own risk. No one affiliated with the CyanogenMod project is responsible for your actions. Good luck.
Important Notes
After flashing recovery, you must long press Power to turn the device off. Then, turn the device on with the recovery mode button combination: Vol Down and Power.
Installing recovery using fastboot
You can use fastboot to install a recovery image to the device.
Installing recovery on the Find 5
- Download recovery -- you can directly download the recovery image using the link below, or visit Unstable Apps Recovery Downloader to check for the latest version of ClockworkMod recovery (if your device can be found there). Be careful to select the right image!
- Recovery: recovery-clockwork-22.214.171.124-find5.img
- md5:
- md5:
- Recovery: recovery-clockwork-22.214.171.124-find5.img
- Connect the Find 5 to the computer via USB.
- Make sure the fastboot binary is in your PATH or that you place the recovery image in the same directory as fastboot.
- Open a terminal on your PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing
adb reboot bootloader
- or by using the hardware key combination for your device while it is powered off.
- Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing
fastboot devices
- Flash recovery onto your device by entering the following command:
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
- where the latter part is the filename of the recovery image.
- Once the flash completes successfully, reboot the device into recovery to verify the installation. Boot to recovery instructions: With the device powered down, hold the Volume Down and Power buttons.
- Note: Some ROMs overwrite recovery at boot time so if you do not plan to immediately boot into recovery to install CyanogenMod, please be aware that this may overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one.
Installing CyanogenMod from recovery
- Download the CyanogenMod package for your device that you'd like to install to your computer.
- Optional: Download 3rd party applications packages, like Google Apps which are necessary to download apps from Google Play.
- Boot to recovery mode, and connect the phone to your computer through USB.
- With the device powered down, hold the Volume Down and Power buttons.
- In ClockworkMod Recovery, use the physical volume buttons to move up and down. On most devices, the power button is used to confirm a menu selection, but for some devices a physical home key acts as a selector. Some devices have touch enabled ClockworkMod Recovery, in which case you may be able to swipe to, or touch, menu selections.
- Optional (Recommended): Select backup and restore to create a backup of your current ROM.
- Select wipe data/factory reset.
- You have two options for transferring and installing the installation packages. Both cases require adb to be working in recovery. The sideload method is more universal across devices, whereas the push and install method is more commonly used:
- Sideload method: select install zip > install zip from sideload. Follow the on-screen notices to install the package. The installer does not necessarily display an "Install complete." message. You can tell the install is complete if there were no fatal error messages and you have regained control over the menu.
- Push and install method: Open a command prompt (or Terminal on Mac and Linux) and navigate to the directory holding the package(s) you would like to install. On the device, navigate to the mounts and storage menu. If you see
/storage/sdcard0as a mountable volume, go ahead and mount it. If you do not see this directory, then instead mount the
/datadirectory. Take note of which volume you mounted. Now, push the package(s) to your device:
- - If you mounted /storage/sdcard0, then:
adb push update.zip /storage/sdcard0/
- - If you mounted /data, then:
adb push update.zip /sdcard/0/
- - If you mounted /storage/sdcard0, then:
- where
update.zipshould be replaced with the package filename. Go back to the main menu and select install zip. Choose to install from the same directory where you pushed the package(s). If you are installing multiple packages, install CyanogenMod first and then install any subsequent packages on top of it.
- Once installation has finished, return to the main menu and select reboot system now. The device will now boot into CyanogenMod.

CHENEY, Wash. - Officials with the Washington State Patrol say an employee at the state crime
lab reported misconduct in January. That sparked a 3 month investigation in to
the allegations. Bob Calkins WSP spokesman says former crime lab manager Kevin
Fortney resigned from his post on April 11th.
Calkins says Fortney lied to his
superiors saying case work was completed that actually was not. Officials with
WSP say there are 5 cases where there is "proof" of the
misconduct. Officials do not
believe there are any wrongful convictions due to the alleged misconduct and
that there are no instances where evidence was tampered with of falsified.

As a result of
these allegations the state crime lab will receive two audits. Calkins says the

Calkins says the audits will examine the way evidence is processed and

The person I love with all my might
The one person I am forever apart
The person I will hold eternally in my heart.
Sometimes I go into a daze
When I reminisce on our past when I remember our genesis days,
Like when you first held my body so sweet and tight
Oh I dream of those arms every night.
The way you kiss my blushing face
Just makes me melt in any case,
How those eyes see my soul and heart
So penetrating and beautiful like a forbidden piece of art
Our life together is like the sweetest story
Both the times of bliss and the times of worry,
You are my lover and very best friend
And no matter what happens that will never end.

(non)Cover of the Week 39
The record was released in 1995, which makes me think I wrote the song in 1993 or so. It is an oddly nostalgic theme for a 27 year-old. Those of you following along at home will agree that this is a recurring theme and it makes me wonder if I was in the moment and enjoying those prime years enough. But singing it today brings me to the conclusion that I was nostalgic for the very period about which I was singing; I could feel it going by. But I also realized that nostalgia fools us into thinking all in the past is wine and roses.
Another thing that I am reminded of is that sometimes you hear a guy singing in a band and you assume he is singing about a woman. Sometimes, though, he is singing about his band.
Your Stripes mp3
For those of you with greedier ears, here it is in .wav format
Let me know if that makes a big difference for any of you.

One of my favorite BT songs. Well done.
- August 3, 2009 at 9:46 AM
fantastic; I think I always knew this wasn't about a girl but to have this type insight into the lyrics of one of your favorite bands is just great. The rough loud rock assault of "Sleepy Eyed" juxtaposed against the poetry and tension of the lyrics made that album song for song, for me, up there with "let me come over." Lots of summer images, color images in the album; lemon drops, tangerine, sun dresses and cobalt skies and hot mold plastic dinosaurs and hay fever; Themes of bittersweetness-but all these with the specter of waving goodbye,sparklers(which for some reason always conjured up visions of miller's crossing)and cruel life(I love the you can't learn that from books line). And Sunday Nights- that's the saddest, excellent chorus in that one though.
I don't begin to really know what I'm talking about- but I guess I'm just saying that I recognize the fact that you are writing about losing something, and seeing it in slow motion as it goes, worrying whether or not you enjoyed it enough or will be able to find solace, let alone a reason. Its all written in the sand, it seems.

Thanks a lot. Great non-cover!
- August 3, 2009 at 4:23 PM
Another great one thanks...!!!
I'm thinking about what you wrote about playing the more obscure stuff, is that difficult? And by difficult I mean how do you balance how many obscure/ vs hits to play?
Bear with me here, but I was at Steely Dan the other night at it was the internet request night of their Beacon stand. So we got a good mix of hits, and a few bones thrown to the die hards. (We actually ended up with Aja in it's entirety.)
Now I know you guys are pretty generous with taking request on stage during the show and handle people yelling out their favorite song pretty well.
So the question is would you ever think of taking a poll of fans, walking out on stage and saying this what you wanted, so here it is?
Sorry this is so long.

Wow! I love hearing these songs done this way, all stripped down. This is a great song, Bill, with a lyric I adore, "and as rich as chocolate cake, and i took all i could take and laid claim all i could stake" (not sure if that's the correct lyrics, but that's what I hear). Consider doing more BT songs, seems everyone loves them! Are you going to do another residency this fall?

Bill, I *really* enjoyed this version of Your Stripes. The version does make a difference; somehow I appreciate the song more than I did before. I think knowing the background behind the lyrics changes everything. I mean, how can it not? I did think the song was about a girl; it never occurred to me that you might have been singing about Buff T, or your favorite band, as Paul notes in his brilliant comment.
I always considered Summer to be a sort of companion to The Boys of Summer - both songs speak of the end of summer as a season, but also of the end of time periods, of loss, leaves burning, sports and musical heroes aging or retiring. I have ten years on you, and have many times in my life felt nostalgic or sad for the moment in which I was living.
It may sound really corny, but Carly Simon's Anticipation nailed that feeling for me when she sang, at the end of the song, "..and stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days, these are--the good old days." Back in 1972, when I first heard that lyric, I felt as if she was singing about somehow who was already feeling nostalgic and sad about a moment that was happening right now, be it falling in love, or whatever.
So yes, this (non)CoTW-version does make a big difference for me.
And if you can forgive this sidebar: Greg W - I was at the Dan show last week as well (all three of them, actually), and appreciated the bones they threw at us. I thought Dr Wu, Any Major Dude, and Rikki all qualified as such. So your question to Bill about whether Buff Tom might consider something similar - a polling of fans to decide what songs to play for them - is a good one, and I too await Bill's answer. :)
- August 5, 2009 at 1:35 AM
Hey Randy what did you think of Fagen's voice? A little rough around the edges, but I heard he was suffering from a cold.
Maybe Bill could cover Don's New Frontier next time he is in the bomb shelter.
Yes we're gonna have a wingding
A summer smoker underground
It's just a dugout that my dad built
In case the reds decide to push the button down
We've got provisions and lots of beer
The key word is survival on the new frontier
- August 6, 2009 at 4:21 PM
- Randy Reichardt said...
Greg: Fagen's voice was in bad shape, but he gave it his best. Oddly enough, his voice was best on the Friday 31 July show, which was the first one after the cancelled show two days earlier. And it would be cool for Bill to cover a Dan tune, but - er - he's not a fan, I believe. (But I'm not complaining!)
That said, Bill, I'm wondering if the nostalgia theme is one that permeates the themes about which you write. I'm thinking of one of my favorite lines, which is from Postcard:
"Where for art thou, Johnny Carson
Retired, and never coming back." The first time I heard that line, it knocked me over, and remains so vivid to me about a time that was immediately over - the nostalgia began as soon as he bid us a heartfelt goodnight. And even the idea of a postcard - you send one to someone and when they receive it, they are already experiencing a nostalgic memory of the sender.
- August 6, 2009 at 5:35 PM
I will forever consider BT to be my favorite band of my lifetime. The right songs as the right times. I echo Paul's commentary. For me, Sleepy Eyed (though I love them all) will remain in my top 5 until my final days. Every moment, even the saddest ones, make me smile...and sometimes cry.
Thanks Bill.
- August 7, 2009 at 3:52 PM
Absolutely tremendous. Bill - are you a fan of the (recently reunited) Feelies? Along with BT my two favorite bands growing up, forgive me if you have already written about them in your blog. They stole the show at the REM tribute at Carnegie Hall (Darius Rucker was their only peer) here's the youtube clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROglSuXAEso

Hey kids, thanks for all the great feedback. I read it all, but I don't always get to reply to each one, so forgive me. But it means a lot to me. It is why I am doing this (all of this) - the personal connection.

beautifully done.
should´ve found out about your blog earlier. made my week.

Some people listen to music for the words and some of us for the experience of the song. I couldn't tell you what the words are if you gave me a crisp hundred dollar bill but this song hits me deeply because it makes me think of my son wearing his happy striped shirts.

Lego Simpons Are on the Way!
There is something about Legos that make familiar characters come to life in another way. They have made Star Wars, Harry Potter, Batman, Video Games and now The Simpsons!
There is something about Legos that make familiar characters come to life in another way. They have made Star Wars, Harry Potter, Batman, Video Games and now The Simpsons!
After years of sharing the same block on Fox Sunday nights, 'The Simpsons' and 'Family Guy' are finally doing something that no one ever expected: they're crossing over. To be more specific, an upcoming episode of 'Family Guy' will see Peter Griffin and his family stumble into the town of Springfield, where they encounter the Simpson family.
The Decemberists made their previously announced visit to the town of Springfield on the Fox animated comedy 'The Simpsons' last night. The group sat in as the elementary school's new music teachers in an episode about the town becoming hipper when a couple -- played by 'Portlandia' stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein -- moves in from Portland with a pretentious son (comedian Patton Oswalt) in tow.
The Simpsons is not a show that's shy about stuffing gags into every corner of the frame. And, after nearly a quarter century on the air, the show has quite a few signs. Here's a strip of what seems to be the Internet's favorite gags from the beloved show. Fair warning, it's a long image.
Add the Decemberists to the list of musicians expected to appear this fall on 'The Simpsons.' A day after it was announced that Tom Waits will lend his legendary voice to an episode of the long-running Fox animated comedy, Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy posted on his Twitter feed the awesome picture above of his band as they appear on the show.
Fans of 'The Simpsons' were thrown into a panic a couple of weeks ago when word leaked that the voice actors on the show were holding out for more money. Fox said if they couldn't come to an agreement this current season would be the last for the show.
There's happy news though: the show has been renewed for two more seasons — the 24th and 25th seasons, to be exact.
While 'The Simpson' may still be popular after 23 seasons, a contract dispute threatens the future of television's longest running prime time series.
According to the Daily Beast, 20th Century Fox Television, the production company of 'The Simpsons,' offered an ultimatum to the cartoon's six principal voice actors Monday night — accept a 45 percent pay cut or this season of the show will be its last.
Marge Simpson thought it was unfair when Barbara Bush labeled 'The Simpsons' "the dumbest thing I had ever seen" during an interview the then-First Lady did in 1990.
So Marge wrote Barbara a letter in which she explained that she was "deeply hurt" by the criticism, and that she wasn't sure why Bush hadn't given her family "the benefit of the doubt."

Nike SB Dunk High – Black – Solar Orange | June 2010
May 20th, 2010 by John Kim | 30 comments
This new Nike SB Dunk High in a black/orange colorway is very much like the Halloween-inspired Nike SBs from the past; featuring a black upper with a orange toe guard, bottom sole, and tongue label, the colorway is All Hallow's Eve to a tee, but instead is set for June 2010 release. A closer look reveals perforations on the toe, center, and ankle panel with suede on the overlaying toe, swoosh, and heel. Might be a bit early for Halloween, but the colors match the San Francisco Giants unis quite well, much like Brian Anderson's hand-picked colorway of his Nike SB Blazer Custom Series. These are available early at Flatspot.

North Window Arch overlooking Turret Arch at Sunrise by simonrim on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
This is a well photographed location in the park, so nothing original here. But its one of those places you've just have to get up early and go for it.
As you walk through the north window there is a scramble up about 40ft of rocks in the dark to a pedestal on top of a ledge. This pedestal is big enough for just 1 person and their tripod. I don't like standing on the edge of ledges with bone breaking drops so I chose a low sitting position to get this shot. (I know I'm a chicken)
The early bird catches the worm as they say, and I was totally blessed to be the first there that morning. Although I shared the spot with pro photographer Terrell Moffett from Idaho who showed up 15 mins after me.
The light changes so dramatically here, I have another shot from a bit earlier pre sunrise and the rocks are much redder. But I'm well happy with this photo and can check this location off the list :)
I have one more shot to post tomorrow taken from a not so frequently shot angle which I think is better.
We'll see.

Episode Report CardStrega: C+ | Grade It Now!
Next time: explosions! And Moore sounds pretty gleeful in the podcast when he says that things will get "very bad."
