Does a single production constitute production on an installment basis and trigger the PRA's statute of limitations? Divisions I and II of the Washington Court of Appeals disagree.
In Bartz v. Department of Corrections, Division II of the Court of Appeals held that the PRA's one-year statute of limitations runs even if the agency delivers only one production. In other words, a single production also means "the last production… on a partial or installment basis." A plain reading of the statute might suggest otherwise. "Actions under this section must be filed within one year of the agency's claim of exemption or the last production of a record on a partial or installment basis." RCW 42.56.550(6).
Division II reasoned that a literal reading would lead to an absurd result, namely: "a more lenient statute of limitations for one category of PRA requests" after the Legislature shortened the statute from five years to one in 2005.
Yet, Division I concluded just that. In Tobin v. Worden, 156 Wn. App. 507 (2010), Division I held that the one-year statute does not apply unless the agency claims an exemption or produces records on installment. There, the agency did not claim an exemption and produced only a single document. Because a single production could not be an installment, Division I concluded that the statute did not apply.

Evangelism: A Bond of Compassion
Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.—Psalm 126:5-6
The testimony of the true follower of Christ might well be something like this: The world's pleasures and the world's treasures henceforth have no appeal for me. I reckon myself crucified to the world and the world crucified to me. But the multitudes that were so dear to Christ shall not be less dear to me. If I cannot prevent their moral suicide, I shall at least baptize them with my human tears. I want no blessing that I cannot share. I seek no spirituality that I must win at the cost of forgetting that men and women are lost and without hope. If in spite of all I can do they will sin against light and bring upon themselves the displeasure of a holy God, then I must not let them go their sad way unwept. I scorn a happiness that I must purchase with ignorance. I reject a heaven that I must enter by shutting my eyes to the sufferings of my fellow men. I choose a broken heart rather than any happiness that ignores the tragedy of human life and human death. Though I, through the grace of God in Christ, no longer lie under Adam's sin, I would still feel a bond of compassion for all of Adam's tragic race, and I am determined that I shall go down to the grave or up into God's heaven mourning for the lost and the perishing.
And thus and thus will I do as God enables me. Amen. The Next Chapter After the Last, p. 36
"Lord Jesus, give me that broken heart, give me that bond of compassion, as I interact with unsaved people in my ministry today. Amen."

While looking through Pinterest a few weeks ago, one particular photo jumped out at me. It was circles – lots of circles. My first thought was that they were super-cute scrapbooking embellishments – and they are! But then I had another idea – to make a layout based on the circles.
The designer of these gorgeous embellishments is Kaitlin, the owner and designer of the popular Ormolu website and shop. These 2-Day Hooray Dots n' Spots are professionally printed on white cardstock with a light fleck, using recycled cardstock and soy inks. They feature a mix of numbers and text and even blank circles that you can customize. These are the perfect little accent to most any scrapbooking project and would be wonderful embellishments for Project Life.
However, instead of using the idea of circles as an embellishment, I decided to try an entire layout using just circles. I am normally a very clean-lined, linear type of scrapbooker. But I decided to venture outside of my box on this one!
All supplies from Designer Digitals | Paper: Autumnal Artistry Paper Pack (orange paper) and Creased Cardstock Paper Pack (cream paper) by Katie Pertiet. Stitches: Clean Stitched Squares: White No. 01 and Clean Stitched Circles: White No. 01 by Katie Pertiet. Text Path: Text Bytes: Shaped Text Templates No. 30 by Pattie Knox. Circle Embellishments: Date Dots No. 02 Brushes and Stamps (April 2012 circle), Defined Discs: Spring (grow circle), Defined Discs: Holiday No. 01 Brushes and Stamps (celebrate circle), and Buttoned Up: Vintage (flair button) by Katie Pertiet; Pinked Circles (yellow circle), For the Love of Circle Numbers (nine circle), Love Something Brushes and Stamps (heart circle), and The Story of This Day Brushes and Stamps (this day circle) by Ali Edwards.
I wanted the focus of the layout to be on the circles, but still allow the photos of my son to shine. I started by layering the pieces of cardstock on top of each other and then added stitching to the edges of the cream paper to ground it. Then I layered the circular stitches on top of the cardstock as a base for all of the embellishments. After that, it was just a matter of cropping photos into circles and choosing my embellishments. I chose both text circles as well as numbered circles – just as I saw in the Ormolu inspiration circles. I added text in the middle of the layout surrounding a heart brush from Ali Edwards to finish it off.
My layout is entirely digital but this design would be even easier to make using traditional paper supplies and different sized circle punches. I had a lot of fun trying a different style of scrapbooking and getting out of my comfort zone. I hope that you are as inspired by Kaitlin's design as I was! Let me know where you find inspiration and maybe I'll use it in a future column. You can also follow my Pinterest boards here.
About Kaitlin and Ormolu | Kaitlin started Ormolu in 2007 while in college studying interior design. She soon realized that she was drawn more to fonts, design, and layout presentation. After receiving her degree, she focused on Ormolu full-time and, in 2009, she adopted an earth-friendly philosophy. She now uses only recycled papers, soy ink and utilizes wind power to create her products. If you would like more information about Kaitlin and her designs, you can find her at Ormolu.

Star Fox past and present in the latest 'Iwata Asks'
Key members of the development team discus Star Fox 64 3D and reminisce about the earlier games in the series in the latest Iwata Asks interview.
Starfox enjoys a great history with Nintendo fans. Part of its legacy comes from not only the inherent fun of the game, but its place as a title that pushes the technology of the Nintendo hardware of the time. In the Star Fox 64 3D edition of "Iwata Asks" senior members of the design team discuss what went into the newest (re)entry in the series, and reminisce about the earlier versions.
The interview reveals that the very origins of Star Fox lie in a design adapted to its technology. After working on Pilotwings and F-Zero, Miyamoto wanted to move to working in 3D with polygon objects, but Super Famicon System simply wasn't designed for it. Around that time, he saw a demo created by a young Dylan Cuthbert (now founder of Q-Games) of a 3D game running on the Game Boy. The two wound up talking about creating a chip together (this would be the SuperFX chip added to a few Super Famicon cartridges to do 3D graphics) and, "that's how Star Fox began," says Miyamoto.
Star Fox 64 would be the next in the line, but it grew out of development plans for a Star Fox 2 on the Super Famicon that never saw the light of day. Miyamoto set recreating space combat on a grand scale for the game, including elements of strategic play. He goes on to describe it, "We had quite a script for Star Fox 2 and had it running, with robots morphing and running, and attempted an all-range mode in which you could fly a full 360 degrees."
This ambitious plan called for even more hardware, and indeed, a second Super FX Chip was on the drawing board, boasting twice the memory of its predecessor. But time caught up with the development of Star Fox 2 and Miyamoto recounts, "other companies' game consoles were using polygons all over the place, so we didn't think we could catch up even if we stuck this expensive chip in the cartridge, so we rethought it." That rethinking led to Star Fox 64, and with the move to the more powerful Nintendo 64 system, Miyamoto thought, "Ah, now we can make it like a science fiction movie."
Flash forward to 2011 and Nintendo holds literally in its hands a new technological advancement, the 3DS. Miyamoto wanted to make another standout Star Fox game to take advantage of the system, but knew development would take something like three years. They wanted something sooner than that for the new hardware and so reached out to Cuthbert to see how he would feel about recreating Star Fox 64.
Of the general approach to the project, Cuthbert says, "The idea was to faithfully recreate the contents of Star Fox 64. I did, therefore, concentrate on improving the graphics, so I made thorough use of normal mapping." For those of us not acquainted with rendering techniques, normal mapping is the process that lets 3D objects appear to have natural surface irregularities as opposed to computer-perfect flat sides."
It was Miyamoto who reminded the developer that the other innovation of the 3DS, its gyro sensor, ought to be featured in the game as well. Nintendo's Yusuke Amano, who coordinated work on the game, relates that about a month before completion Miyamoto asked, "Aren't you going to use the gyro sensor?" Cuthbert, Amano, and two programmers holed up for a couple days and adapted the game to use the sensor. Their efforts turned out better than Miyamoto had envisioned, complete with a combination control that lets the player use the gyro control, but switches to the circle pad control as soon as it's used.
Fans of the series will find other little details about the evolution of the series in the full six-page interview. Star Fox 64 3D debuted in Japan this past month and releases in North America on September 9.
Garnett Lee posted a new article, Star Fox past and present in the latest 'Iwata Asks'.
Key members of the development team discus Star Fox 64 3D and reminisce about the earlier games in the series in the latest Iwata Asks interview.
Interesting. I really loved that first game, about as much as I sucked at it. I had a hard time with distances in that game - I couldn't tell how close or far away I was from objects, so I always crashed.
I totally loved the art direction in it, though - I still really like that blocky polygon look because of those Starfox days. I kinda wish even modern games would still have that look. With today's technology you could make a game that is incredibly huge and hardly taxing on any system.

Sprains and Strains
A sprain is a stretched or torn ligament. Ligaments are tissues that connect bones at a joint. Falling, twisting, or getting hit can all cause a sprain. Ankle and wrist sprains are common. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and being unable to move your joint. You might feel a pop or tear when the injury happens.
A strain is a stretched or torn muscle or tendon. Tendons are tissues that connect muscle to bone. Twisting or pulling these tissues can cause a strain. Strains can happen suddenly or develop over time. Back and hamstring muscle strains are common. Many people get strains playing sports. Symptoms include pain, muscle spasms, swelling, and trouble moving the muscle.
At first, treatment of both sprains and strains usually involves resting the injured area, icing it, wearing a bandage or device that compresses the area, and medicines. Later treatment might include exercise and physical therapy.

Wrist Injuries and Disorders
Your wrist is made up of eight small bones known as carpals. They support a tube that runs through your wrist. That tube, called the carpal tunnel, has tendons and a nerve inside. It is covered by a ligament, which holds it in place.
Wrist pain is common. Repetitive motion can damage your wrist. Everyday activities like typing, racquet sports or sewing can cause pain, or even carpal tunnel syndrome. Wrist pain with bruising and swelling can be a sign of injury. The signs of a possible fracture include misshapen joints and inability to move your wrist. Some wrist fractures are a result of osteoporosis.

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that on April 24, 2002, the Honorable Donald M. Middlebrooks, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, entered final judgments against penny stock trader Jerome E. Rosen, disbarred attorney William A. Calvo III, and Calvo's company, Diversified Corporate Consulting Group. Rosen, the trader exclusively responsible for his firm's market making activity in Systems of Excellence, Inc. ("SOE"), accepted a bribe, in the form of free SOE stock, in exchange for his efforts to manipulate the price of SOE. Diversified, a company controlled by Calvo, among others, supported Rosen's fraudulent and manipulative trading activity and sold unregistered shares of SOE while one of its principals was touting SOE in a popular penny stock newsletter. The final judgments, which follow a March 7, 2002 jury verdict in favor of the SEC, permanently enjoin (i) Rosen and Diversified from future violations of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and (ii) Calvo, Rosen and Diversified from future violations of the registration provisions. In total, Rosen, Calvo and Diversified were ordered to pay more than $3.8 million in ill-gotten gains, prejudgment interest and civil penalties, all arising from their respective roles in the manipulation of SOE stock. Additionally, the Court enjoined Rosen from buying and selling individual stocks. With these final judgments, the Commission has now successfully concluded seven separate enforcement actions arising from its investigation of SOE, assisted in obtaining four criminal convictions, deregistered the securities of SOE, and recovered approximately $15 million for defrauded investors. Two related lawsuits against other defendants are still pending.
The jury found that Rosen, a well-known penny stock trader working from the Aventura, Florida branch office of J. Alexander Securities, Inc. ("J. Alexander") manipulated the price of SOE stock. Rosen accepted a bribe in the form of SOE stock from Charles Huttoe, then the President of SOE, as an inducement to manipulate the price of SOE stock. Rosen then conspired with Huttoe, Sheldon Kraft (a stock promoter previously charged in this scheme), Diversified and Joseph D. Radcliffe (a co-defendant who settled upon the Commission's filing of its complaint) to obtain an exclusive supply of SOE stock, at favorable prices, in order to support his fraudulent and manipulative trading activity. The jury also found that Rosen had engaged in insider trading during the same period as a result of his access to material, nonpublic information supplied by Huttoe. The manipulative conduct and insider trading both violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Finally, the jury found that Rosen resold unregistered SOE stock in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act.
In addition to enjoining Rosen from violating the antifraud and registration provisions, the Court's order requires Rosen to disgorge $992,891.01, representing $615,966.50 in ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest of $376,925.01, and pay a separate $100,000 civil penalty. The disgorgement figure represents Rosen's share of trading profits that J. Alexander paid Rosen for his fraudulent SOE market-making activity and profits Rosen earned on the resale of SOE stock that he received from Huttoe. Further, the Court enjoined Rosen from directly or indirectly buying or selling securities registered with the SEC pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or securities meeting the definition of "penny stock" set forth in Exchange Act Rule 3a51. Finally, the Court required Rosen to maintain records relating to the activities described in the Complaint for three years and to provide the SEC with a sworn accounting of all his assets and liabilities.
The jury also found against Diversified for its involvement in Rosen's manipulation of SOE stock and for its participation in the "scalping" of SOE shares, in violation of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act. The scalping related to Diversified's resale of SOE shares while one of Diversified's principals, Theodore Melcher, Jr., was touting SOE in a popular penny stock newsletter. Previously, in a February 21, 2002 ruling on the Commission's motion for summary judgment, the Court found that Diversified and Calvo had violated Section 5 of the Securities Act by reselling, or by being a necessary or substantial participant in the resale of, unregistered SOE shares.
In addition to enjoining Diversified from violating the antifraud and registration provisions and enjoining Calvo from violating the registration provisions, the Court entered orders against Diversified and Calvo requiring them to jointly and severally disgorge $2,511,145.70, representing $1,636,556.51 in gains from their illegal resales of unregistered SOE stock plus prejudgment interest of $874,589.19, and to pay a civil penalty of $50,000 each. Further, the Court required Calvo and Diversified to maintain records relating to the activities described in the complaint for three years and to provide the SEC with a sworn accounting of all their assets and liabilities.
The Commission previously has made several announcements concerning these matters. See Lit Rel. 16881 (January 31, 2001); Lit. Rel. 16804 (November 20, 2000); Lit. Rel. 16695 (September 11, 2000); Lit. Rel. 16632a (July 21, 2000); Securities Exchange Act Rel. 42616 (April 4, 2000); Lit. Rel. 16343 (October 27, 1999); Lit. Rel. 15996 (December 9, 1998); Lit. Rel. 15906 (September 24, 1998); Lit. Rel. 15888 (September 18, 1998); Lit. Rel. 15617 (January 14, 1998); Lit. Rel. 15600 (December 22, 1997); Lit. Rel. 15571 (November 25, 1997); Lit. Rel. 15490 (September 12, 1997); Lit. Rel. 15286 (March 12, 1997); Lit. Rel. 15237 (January 31, 1997); Lit. Rel. 15185 (December 12, 1996); Lit. Rel. 15153 (November 7, 1996); Securities Exchange Act Rel. No. 37791 (October 7, 1996).
This enforcement action is part of the Commission's four-pronged approach to attacking Microcap abuses: enforcement, inspections, investor education and regulation.

Like I give a fuck
They gonna think we starting trouble like usual
But we just viewing our opinion
Some people might get offended
I ain't trying to ruffle nobody feathers
But you niggas ain't gonna do shit
[Verse 1 - Jim Jones]
Now, I'm always flying, always driving something new
And it makes me cry for half the shit that I've been through
So gifted back then when it came to selling the coke
So now we pop rose every night just to make a toast
Let's have a toast for the pushers
Let's make a toast to the strippers
To the connects when we re-up
Knocking points off when we meet up
Let's have a toast to the new Porsche
The one you bitches in when we murk off
Baby, I got a plan
I'mma need you to cook a thousand grams
[Verse 2 - Cam'ron]
I fuck with hoes that do check scams
And pop E pills, yeah, call 'em X-Clan
So I tell 'em, "Vanglorious"
'Elz Neo, the One; Cam's Morpheus
Dipset, yeah, you know who's scorching this
All of these kids should open a damn orphanage
What up Jetlag? What up Sin City?
Killers first, Killa first; niggas been pretty
And Kanye, you a sucker nigga
Dis Dame, so my attitude is "fuck a nigga"
Sucking Jigga, how you gonna live with that?
Took your beat — now, come get it back
Fuck what Mama say, whip color is marmalade
Modern-day Wilt Chamberlain, hoes andale
Yeah Malibu, boo, but it's Dom today
Shout to Weeso coming home, Tone, John, and Dre, ay
[Verse 3 - Jim Jones]
And half these rap niggas still living a facade
Mention my name and I'll be thinking that they hard
But catch them out of bounds, and they ain't really like that
Catch us out of town, and we be living like that
Spent thirty thou, but we 'bout it on the flight back
Ash call Yandy, one show and get it right back
Think about the strip where I used to spend nights at
Spent nights on blocks where niggas lost they life at
Some got shot up, hospital, went right back
To the same block where they could have lost their life at
Damn, and shout out to my nigga Zoe
He used to laugh when he'd hear me say, "Give 'em more"
Miami nights at the club, jumping in the V
You know the rich get richer, hungry never eat
But fuck that, nigga, I'mma need a plate of chow
No fuck that, nigga, I'mma need a plate of Chow's
Last whip I bought, that's a hard ninety thou'
I'm married to the game and didn't say my vows, ow
[Outro - Jim Jones]
I ain't say my grace, neither
Bow your head, don't be disrespectful
Like I was saying before, you might not understand this
You might not figure this out
We on a different side of the thing
Just lift your glasses up
Put your bottles in the sky
Let's have a toast for this money we've been getting
Let's have a toast for niggas getting back together, real niggas
A toast to the haters, because without you there would be no me, nigga
You smell me?
Ain't nobody pressed they luck, we still on deck, fucker
You know what we do
Anything less is uncivilized
The reunited Dipset leaders go at Kanye over his own "Runaway" beat.

My Career Regret - The Money and Interestingness Trade/
Ten years ago, I was an analyst for the General Motors pension fund, working on fund investments into leveraged buyout funds and venture capital deals. I literally wrote the investment memo for GMs investment into Accel IX, otherwise known as the "Facebook Fund." (I wasn't a lead on the deal team or anything--just a gruntworking analyst.) Still, I came into contact with some of the largest names in the private equity world--partners from top PE firms like Blackstone, Carlyle, and TH Lee, top venture firms like Summit and Accel--and even debt/distressed funds like Cerberus and Apollo. These folks were absolutely minting money--but because I didn't really know what I wanted to do with my career, I didn't spend any time building relationships with them. In fact, the one area I was pretty set on eliminating from my consideration set--leveraged buyouts--was the area where partners seemed to make the most money.
Now that I'm gathering capital, that seems to have been a missed opportunity. These folks were literally pitching my team, and because I didn't necessarily want to do the same thing as they did, I didn't care much to spend time with them.
And that's not to say that the only reason anyone should network with somebody is because of money--but the reality is that access to capital is an enabler. You see, people doing interesting stuff often need capital to make that stuff sustainable. That's the whole venture capital world in a nutshell--and it's crazy fascinating. People are inventing stuff that sounds utterly ridiculous (a box that makes things!) and turning them into reality. That chip that enabled the authorities to see that kid in the boat from a helicopter--someone invested in that. Not only that, whoever invested in that chip is probably feeling like a pig in shit right now for being a tiny little part of that capture--and more for the experience, the meaningfulness, the pride--the overall interestingness of it all versus whatever money came out of it.
Because, venture isn't about the money. I mean, sure it's an asset class and investors expect a return--but if you were really just going for trying to make the most amount of money possible, you'd go work for a private equity fund or a hedge fund. Those places don't make chips that can see terrorists from the sky, though. In fact, they don't make much of anything, other than money. In fact, they make for pretty boring stories compared to saying that you backed the medical device company that will enable one of those bombing victims to run the marathon next year. That's pretty damned interesting.
That's what I didn't realize--that I had something to offer. My interest in tech and eventual move to venture capital, New York's growth as a venture capital community--it's all super interesting, and would have been to all the people I knew who had so much money that money didn't mean nearly as much as a good story. That's why people buy pieces of sports teams. It's not about the money--it's about interesting stories, access, and things that aren't buyable by just anyone.
If I had to do it all over again, I should have realized that as a young, curious guy, I'd eventually get into stuff that would have been super interesting to an experienced private equity investor who had more money than they knew what to do with. Just the other day, an entrepreneur came in who was working at one of those funds. I told him, "So the partners are going to back you, right?" He hadn't really considered pitching, because he figured that wasn't what they normally did. I told him how what they "normally" do and have been doing for the last 20 years might not be as fun or as cool as what he was up to.
They're out there searching for interestingness and he had it in spades.
If you're early on in your career, stick around people who have made it that you find likeable and of good character. Even if you're not intending on following their footsteps, undoubtedly, you'll find yourself in a position to offer them the money for interestingness trade. It's done all the time--and it will enable you to keep doing what you're passionate about, and you'll be able to share your passion and interestingness with someone who really doesn't need the money, but who loves and appreciates funding more interestingness.

I'm going to take a brief departure from all of the Valentine's Day blogging to feature some of my past recipes that will be perfect for the Big Game this weekend. Interestingly enough, the menu for our watch party doesn't include any of the things listed - oops! I'll post some photos of our party later. For now, here is our menu for inspiration :
Chili with lots of Garnishes
Seven Layer Dip
Hot Wings
Some sort of dessert...
On to other ideas that might inspire your watch party :
Whoopie Pies shaped like Footballs - so easy and made from a cake mix. Football Whoopies Recipe >>
Pin It
Pin It
Truffle Brownies - If you're headed to a party, brownies are always welcome. Make yours a little special by making them from scratch - they are totally worth the extra effort.
If you really want a show-stopping dessert to bring to a party this weekend, make these Salted-Caramel Chocolate Cupcakes. They are really easy to make (starts with a cake mix...) and are really impressive.

Bob McPhail and the Reader
Oceanside gay murders, Balboa Theater, Gringo goes to TJ hospital, 20K fetuses, dog served at TJ restaurant
Bob McPhail 8:30 a.m., Aug. 17
Sarah has been the old lady down the block since I moved to Point Loma a decade and a half ago. She's an active old lady, her '90s-vintage pearl-white Thunderbird an often enough sight in her driveway as she comes and goes to the grocery store, church, and (certainly) hair appointments. She's 90-something and still gets out of her car to lift the garage door of the small home she shares with no one.
Last month I learned from a different neighbor that Sarah is moving out soon. Then a realtor's sign appeared in her yard. This morning, December 31, I stopped to talk to her. About the move, Sarah said she'd been asked by our mutual neighbor, "Do you know what you're doing?" Sarah laughed at the thought. The elegantly dressed Texan didn't add any further comment to that; of course she knows what she's doing.
She said she's moving herself to Rancho Mirage, to an "assisted living" community where two of her brothers reside. She's thought about it for over a year. She gets tired out doing the upkeep on her house and wants to be done with the responsibility and go live near her brothers. "We all get to a point where we need to make these decisions," she said.
Then, after I asked how long she's lived on Poe Street (43 years), she told me she went to work on the Ryan Aeronautical assembly line in 1943, at the the height of production for the war effort. "Oh yeah, Rosie the Riveter and all that," she told me. Fuselages, cockpits, "I was all over the planes. Then I went into inspections.... It gets difficult being Rosie the Riveter."
Sarah worked for Ryan until 1984, about seven years after the company had been sold, when employees became "just a number." But that's not why she left; she retired after a longtime coworker "just opened up her newspaper to read and died. She was ten years my junior, so that got me to thinking… I wanted to do some things, travel."
The year she retired, Sarah took four trips — Hawaii, Australia, and a couple other far-flung places. With this next retirement, she said she's looking forward to not cooking and practicing piano. She's working on swapping her grand piano for an upright that she can put against a wall in her apartment.
nice story... we're always fortunate to meet and once know people of this generation...
Exactly as I pictured Rosie the Riveter in retirement. Love this story and the strong woman it portrays.
COOL story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What many people here do not know is that Ryan Aeronautical used to be located next to Lindbergh Field, and they built the "Spirit of St Louis" there. YES, that plane was built right here in San Diego.The people who sponsored the plane were form St Louis hence the name (also has a connection to the name of our own airport). The original building was a metal "Butler Building", that was moved down to Chula Vista, at least 25 years ago right off the I-5. You could still see the Ryan Aeronautical name on it even after they had the building painted.
This was a super cool story, as there are very few Americans who lived through WWII who are still alive who can share these stories....awesome!

The best palate ever born couldn't tell the difference between using xvoo and "pure" olive oil, or, for that matter, Wesson oil, in these circumstances.I renege: I will comment. The following have no place in making chili: olives. tomato soup. liquid smoke. vinegar. dried parsely/dried cilantro (should both be outlawed). chicken stock. cheeses. store-bought chopped garlic (should be outlawed). green beans. cauliflower. pizza sauce. Go ahead and scream. You may be making something that tastes good, but it sure ain't chili.

The world expert on European wasps was strolling past a record shop. A sign caught his eye: "New Album - Wasps of the World!" The man asked to hear the album and was given headphones. Three minutes later, he announced, "I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make and yet I recognize none of those." The clerk offered to play another track. And another. And another. Still, the expert did not hear sounds he recognized. Suddenly, the clerk realized his mistake. "I'm really sorry," he said. "I was playing you the bee side."

A professor was teaching an introductory anatomy class. One day, he announced, "Today I will be lecturing on the contents of the abdomen.

A man was married and happy, but he had one complaint. His wife was always nursing sick birds. One day, he came home to find a robin coughing in the living room. In the dining room, a bluebird had its wing in a sling. He went to the kitchen, where he found his wife cuddling a half-frozen bird. "We've got to get these #*@#! birds out of here," he yelled. Replied his wife, "Please, dear, no bad language in front of the chilled wren."
A sailor was caught as he tried to sneak aboard his ship at 3 a.m. The officer ordered the sailor, "Take this broom and sweep every link on this anchor chain by morning, or it's the brig for you!" As the sailor began to sweep, a tern landed on the broom handle. The sailor picked the tern off and tossed it aside. The bird returned to the broom handle, and was once again tossed aside. Through the night, the bird and sailor continued their struggle. At dawn, the officer returned. "What in the heck have you been doing all night?" he barked. "This chain is no cleaner than when you started!" "Honest, sir," came the reply, "I tossed a tern all night and couldn't sweep a link!"

A clown moved into an apartment building for circus performers. He was quite happy with the apartment. But he had one complaint: There was no ironing board. The clown called the building superintendent to ask for an ironing board. The superintendent refused to provide one. "But, the acrobats and the lion tamers all have ironing boards," said the clown. "You'll have to use the window ledge," said the superintendent. "It's in your lease. Every clown has a sill for ironing."
Assyria had been at war with the Hittites for years. And king Ozymandias was low on cash. But he had one valuable possession left. It was the Star of the Euphrates, the most valuable diamond of the ancient world. He decided to take it to the pawnbroker for a loan. The pawnbroker offered Ozymandias 100,000 dinars. Ozymandias was deeply offended, "I paid a million dinars for it. Don't you know that I'm the king?" The pawnbroker replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, it makes no difference who you are."

Free Democratic Party (FDP), German Freie Demokratische Partei, centrist German political party that advocates individualism, capitalism, and social reform. Although it has captured only a small percentage of the votes in national elections, its support has been pivotal for much of the post-World War II period in making or breaking governments, by forming coalitions with or withdrawing support from larger parties.
The FDP was established in December 1948 at a conference attended by delegates from liberal parties in the American, British, and French zones of occupation. The following year, in West Germany's first democratic elections, the FDP captured 11.9 percent of the vote and joined a coalition government with the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). However, it left the coalition in 1957, when it won less than 8 percent of the national vote, and the CDU and its Bavarian affiliate, the Christian Social Union (CSU), secured an absolute majority in the Bundestag, the lower house of the German national legislature. In 1961, when the CDU-CSU coalition lost its overall majority, the FDP, which had won nearly 13 percent of the vote in that year's elections, exacted the promise that Chancellor Konrad Adenauer would resign after two years as the price of its cooperation in a new coalition. The FDP's disillusionment with the policies of the new chancellor, Ludwig Erhard, motivated its withdrawal from the coalition with the CDU-CSU in November 1966 and prompted the formation of a grand coalition between the CDU-CSU and its chief rival, the Social Democratic Party (SPD). In 1969 the FDP joined forces with the SPD to overcome the CDU-CSU plurality in the Bundestag and to elect as chancellor the SPD leader, Willy Brandt. The FDP remained in coalition with the SPD until 1982, after which the FDP again joined a coalition government with the CDU-CSU (FDP ministers resigned over opposition to the SPD's proposed budget deficit for 1983).
From the 1970s to the early '90s the FDP was led (either officially or informally) by Hans-Dietrich Genscher, who served as Germany's foreign minister from 1974 to 1992. Genscher's prominent role in German reunification helped the party win 11 percent of the vote and 79 seats in the Bundestag in 1990—its highest levels since 1961. During the 1990s, however, the party's support slipped, and, though the FDP was able to maintain its representation in the Bundestag, it failed to win 5 percent of the vote—the minimum required for representation—in several state elections in 1992–94. Throughout the 1990s the FDP reassessed its policies, emphasizing environmental issues to combat the appeal of the Green Party and putting forth a more assertive foreign policy and more conservative economic policies. The FDP remained in a governing coalition with the CDU-CSU until 1998, when the government was replaced by a coalition of the SPD and the Green Party.
The FDP's support surged in 2005, when it won 10 percent of the vote and 61 seats in the Bundestag, but it was unable to form a government with the CDU-CSU, which instead led a grand coalition with the SPD. In 2009 the FDP won 14.6 percent of the vote and 93 seats in the Bundestag, its best election results thus far. It then replaced the SPD in a new coalition government led by the CDU-CSU. Voters dealt the FDP a stunning blow in the September 2013 federal elections, however: the party failed to reach the 5 percent threshold necessary for representation in the Bundestag, the first time that had happened in the postwar era.

Throw Me Some Comfort!
I am feeling inspired to make cozy, quilted throws.
I love a beautifully quilted throw, as they are so versatile.
Large enough to be functional, but small enough to be easily portable.
They keep you comfy while reading a book or watching the tube.
And provide a great play area for a little one, or for a fun picnic lunch.
Plus they travel great, adding comfort to a long car ride, and warmth at a chilly outdoor event.
They look great slung over a chair, a stair rail, or a table.
They can even be hung on the wall as art.
What's not to love?!
When designing this particular quilted throw, (which is reversible and which I have named "Army Blues") I consciously set out to design something that would appeal to a male. (That is not to say that this is a guy only quilt, as I personally love these colors and wear them all the time! It's just that I noticed most quilts on the market seem to have a more feminine aesthetic, and I wanted something that had a more inclusive esthetic. After all boys and men need quilts that offer them comfort, too!)
For more information on this throw, please visit my Etsy shop, where I have it listed here.
I also want to give a Thank You! to the Quilt Inspiration blog. Last Friday, they did a lovely post on some of my work which you can view here. Be sure to check out the rest of their blog, as it's full of lovely eye candy!!
Now I am off to make another throw! Have a great week everyone!

The Jupiter range hood model from Italian kitchen range hood manufacturer Futuro Futuro offers a powerful ventilation solution in a sleek package. The hood's tubular body measures just 14″ in diameter, making it ideal for a variety of kitchen designs. It's equipped with a powerful yet quiet 940-CFM blower with 4 speeds, electronic controls, dishwasher-safe filter, and halogen lights.
What makes this model truly outstanding is the possibility of customization by adding a horizontal panel, which can be made from metal, glass, Lexan, or other suitable materials. Alternately, the hood can be integrated into shelving or lighting panels, like the daring vision of the Pininfarina-designed VENUS kitchen by Snaidero (included in images below) – a curved panel with LED lights intersects the tubular shape of the Jupiter range hood, for a truly integrated ultramodern design.
The Jupiter range hood is available in island-mount as well as wall-mount versions:

Uni Analysis: The 2012-13 Wildcats (From The NUni Tracker)
An historic season is in the books for the Northwestern Wildcats. The third 10 win season in school history, the first bowl win since 1949 and Coach Fitz moved into sole ownership of the title of winningest head coach in Northwestern history.
As I have done over at the Hoosier Tracker the last two years, I have decided to go element by element and analyze which uniform elements and combinations were the most successful for the 'Cats this past season. So let's get to it and start with the uni combinations:
Purple/Purple/Black: 4-0 33 PFPG 16.5 PAPG
This combo was the most worn combination all season. Of the combinations worn more than once, this one had the most stout defense and was second in points for per game. What is truly amazing, though, is the disparity in points for and against, especially considering that the Vanderbilt and Illinois wins were not in this combination. While it is a solid, winning look, I would still like to see some Purple/Purple/White next season.
America/Purple/Black: 1-0 23 PFPG 13 PAPG
Behold the Vanderbilt game. The first home game in the uniforms and Coach Fitz has to go and slap a flag themed logo on the helmets because it's early-middle September. Listen, I get that you have a relationship with some military members and you go do that training session in Wisconsin every year, but September 11th was not a military attack and probably barely directly affected anyone on this particular football team. What you do to honor servicemen and women at halftime and during games is commendable, this silly decal? It feels like a gimmick - something well beneath what people who serve deserve.
Black/Black/Black: 0-1 28 PFPG 29 PAPG
1. The first all black uniform in school history.
2. The first black helmet in school history.
3. The first helmet to feature a logo different from the 'N' since 1980(The Adidas one-off helmet had no logo, only numbers).
This set will be known as a history making set for many reasons. Unfortunately, it'll be best known for being worn when Northwestern blew a two score lead in the fourth quarter against Nebraska. All black? Not a good look for the 'Cats...
Black/Black/Purple: 1-0 50 PFPG 14 PAPG
I believe Northwestern played a high school this game. What's that? Illinois? Sheesh, I hope they fired that guy who got two sideline interference penalties. NO‽ See you in Champaign, Illini!
But in all seriousness, this look would be GREAT, with the normal helmet. It would be a nod to the success of the mid '90s and early aughts and would still be part of this great modern Under Armour set. Also, please don't ever wear that helmet again, the logo just doesn't work like that and the silver and black makes it nearly invisible.
Black/Purple/Black: 1-0 34 PFPG 20 PAPG
The first bowl win since 1949 and the Wildcats wore a purple jersey with a strongly featured Northwestern Stripe, what could be wrong?
A: The helmet. Now, let's be clear, I don't even mind that they wore the matte black helmet again - Black/Purple/Black, in and of itself, is not a bad look - but the logo was damn near invisible again and while I'm glad it was the iconic 'N', Had it been purple or white, I would've been in love. This uniform is a nice change from the norm, but I like the idea of Purple/Black/Purple even more.
Purple/White/White: 1-2 33.7 PFPG 39.3 PAPG
The only uniform set with a worse points against average than points for, there is just one, simple, undeniable take away: Don't wear the white pants with the white jersey anymore. That should be an easy concept, as Northwestern has - in the past - rocked both purple (think Darnell Autry) and black (think Zak Kustok) pants on the road to great success.
Purple/White/Black: 2-0 22 PFPG 16.5 PAPG
The clear road uniform leader in the clubhouse. I still hope to see purple pants on the road next season, but the black is a nice look with ties to the successful recent past.
Purple Helmet: 7-2 30.8 PFPG 24.1 PAPG
The classic, standard Northwestern helmet had a helluva season. Not the most successful on offense or defense, the helmet had a somewhat unremarkable season. However, it's still the best lid the 'Cats wear, in my book.
America Helmet: 1-0 23 PFPG 13 PAPG
As said above, this was the Vanderbilt game. It's just not a good logo. Please dump it.
Black Cat Helmet: 1-1 39 PFPG 21.5 PAPG
In it's two appearances, the outcomes could not have been different: A blown lead against Nebraska and blowout against Illinois. The 'Cats were going to beat Illinois if they came out of the locker room naked, so really this helmet should be judged by its performance against the Huskers. Not good. Retire it.
Black 'N' Helmet: 1-0 34 PFPG 20 PAPG
You can't argue with the first bowl victory in 64 years, can you? It's not a bad helmet, but it isn't as good as it could be. Helluva win though...
Purple Jersey: 6-0 31.8 PFPG 16.5 PAPG
Both undefeated and the best defensive jersey. The purple jersey is both successful and one of the best new jerseys of 2012. Highlights include the bowl win, two victories over SEC teams and a points for to points allowed ratio of almost two to one. Tough to beat out the Purple as Northwestern's best new jersey.
Black Jersey: 1-1 39 PFPG 21.5 PAPG
While the most offensively explosive jersey, the black jersey was a mixed bag this season. Just like the Black Cat helmet, this jersey was there for a season high and a season low. Now, if the 'Cats were to pair this jersey with the purple helmet and pants, I could almost root for that to be the dominant home set, but alas, we'll have to wait until next season to see if my dream comes true.
White Jersey: 3-2 29 PFPG 30.2 PAPG
Worn for every road game, I think any 'Cat fan can take away a few lessons:
1. The black pants saved this jersey's record.
2. If at all possible, don't play road games.
Obviously, the points for to points against ratio is bad, but it's tough to win on the road. This jersey should be commended for it's boldness, unlike the other jerseys, the Northwestern Stripe is so bold it cannot be ignored. It's a great look and I can't wait to see it with the purple pants.
Black Pants: 8-1 29 PFPG 17.9 PAPG
Worn nine time, these pants have an amazing record. Their only loss is the Nebraska game, but we can blame that on the Black Cat helmet. This amazing record should be taken note when it comes to road games. I love the black pants, but they still aren't my favorite.
Purple Pants: 1-0 50 PFPG 14 PAPG
This is the Illinois game. The only time they were worn, the 'Cats played their most dominant game. Take note Fitz, the purple nickers need to be worn more often. These are the best pants of the bunch.
Purple Pants: 1-2 33.7 PFPG 39.3 PAPG
Worn only on the road, I wish we could've seen these at least once at home. Perhaps next season I'll get my wish...
Well, that's 2012-13 in a uniform. It was an amazing season in which things I hadn't ever seen from a Northwestern team seemed to happen every week - even before the season started - and that culminated in a dream come true: A Bowl Victory.
Go U Northwestern.
