Bruce Wayne (Earth-One)

- Beware... Forever.
- -- Batman src
Grim Origin
Many years ago, famed Gotham City physician Dr. Thomas Wayne , and his wife Martha lived with their two sons, Thomas Jr. and the younger Bruce. Thomas Jr. was more studious introverted and reserved, while Bruce was outgoing and extroverted easily displaying his affections and emotions more freely than his older brother. It would be their distinctive personalities that would guide how the Wayne sons would react to the tragedy that would befall their family. When Bruce was a young child, his family attended a costume fundraiser. The theme of the party was 'Flying Creatures'. Dr. Wayne decided to masquerade as a bat, and wore a costume consisting of a pointed mask, and large, dark blue scalloped wings.[13] The impressionable Bruce admired his father's outfit and openly asked if one day he might be able to wear such a fearsome costume. Dr. Wayne replied that he would keep the costume for Bruce to wear when he grew up, but had no idea how prophetic the innocent question truly was.
During the party, moments after Dr. Wayne had been awarded first prize for the best costume, several gangsters raided the mansion and recognized that Dr. Wayne was a physician. Kidnapping him, they brought him to an old warehouse where he was to perform emergency surgery on mob boss named Lew Moxon who had been suffering from a serious gunshot wound. Dr. Wayne knew that once he removed the bullet from Moxon's body, the gangster would likely kill him. Instead of performing the surgery, Dr. Wayne dove into the gangsters and managed to apprehend every one of them. He called the police and handed the thugs over to a young police lieutenant named James Gordon. The courts sentenced Moxon to ten years in prison. Moxon only served a few years in jail and upon release, he decided to pay a visit to Dr. Wayne. With a menacing sneer, he glibly told Dr. Wayne that he would find a way to get even with him — even if he had to use somebody else to do his dirty work.
A few weeks later, Dr. Wayne, Martha and young Bruce were walking home from a night out at the movies. A mugger named Joe Chill leapt from the shadows of Park Row and assaulted them, demanding the pearl necklace Martha was wearing. Dr. Wayne tried to fight back, but Chill shot him directly in the chest, killing him. He then turned his gun on Martha and viciously ended her life as well. Bruce stared on in horror, as his parents lied murdered beside him. Chill turned on his heel and ran from the alleyway. Bruce made a graveside promise that he would bring the lowly killer to justice and avenge their deaths. Years would pass before Bruce would learn the truth behind Joe Chill's actions.
Upon hearing of his parents' deaths back home, Thomas Jr. was instantaneously crushed and sank into a complete emotional and mental collapse that would last for years, forcing his Uncle Philip — who had been appointed the boys' guardian — to commit him to a mental institution.[14]
[Other stories state Thomas, Jr. had suffered brain injuries as a baby and was abandoned to life-long hospice care[15] and was the YOUNGER brother to Bruce rather than the elder.]
Bruce would largely forget about his brother due to the trauma and his uncle Philip Wayne lying that the catatonic Thomas Jr. had died. Bruce would not meet his brother again until far later in their adult lives.[14]
Purposeful Life
Shortly after the funeral, Social Services handed Bruce over to the care of his uncle — Philip Wayne. He stayed at Philip's estate and, because his uncle had to travel due to his work and was rarely at home, became close friends with the housekeeper, Mrs. Chilton. Although he never knew it, Mrs. Chilton was also the mother of Joe Chill — the man who murdered his parents.
As Bruce became a teenager, he dedicated himself towards learning everything he could about police procedure. He decided to track down the city's most famous private detective, Harvey Harris. Donning a bright red, yellow and green costume to conceal his identity, Bruce tracked Harris down, only to find a criminal waiting to ambush him. Bruce used a large advertising display piece to waylay the thug, saving Harris's life. Harris was so impressed with the teen's verve that he agreed to take him under his wing. Thinking the masked teenage boy looked as colorful as a robin redbreast in his costume, Harris decided to call him Robin.[16]
First Costumed Identity
As Robin, Bruce spent several weeks training under Harvey Harris's tutelage. Harris instructed him on the finer points of criminal detection, and trained him in gymnastics, and hand-to-hand combat. Working together, the two became inseparable and in the span of just a few years, they managed to deal a marked blow against the criminal underworld.
When it was time for Bruce to enter college, he parted company with Harvey Harris and threw himself into his studies. He specialized not only in criminology, but in the sciences as well.[17] After four intense years, he was nearly ready to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a law-enforcement agent.
Upon graduation however, Bruce began to re-evaluate his future. He recognized the fact that law enforcement agencies were often the victims of an endless bureaucracy that hampered them from meting out true justice. He could not in good conscious follow such an ineffective path.
Bruce returned to his family's original estate, Wayne Manor, now old enough to assume control of his father's business interests at Wayne Enterprises, but there was still the unsettled matter of his graveside vow.
Genesis of the Bat
One evening, Bruce sat in his study pondering his dilemma when a bat flew into the room from an open window. Immediately, his mind harkened back to the image of his father, Thomas, dressed up as a bat-man at the costume party. It was an omen. He decided that he would become a living symbol to strike terror into the hearts of all criminals. He became the Batman.
It would be as Batman that Wayne began his personal crusade against the underworld forces that operated within Gotham city almost unchecked. Batman would prefer to intimidate and threaten rather than actually permanently hurt his opponents usually using nerve pressure attacks to defeat far stronger and larger opponents and outwit more numerous group adversaries.
Proving to be an effective crime fighter through sophisticated analytical and detective processes than the tried and true battering ram techniques of contemporary police, Batman began to gather the support of largely ineffective Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon.
The New Robin
It would be on one of the Batman's investigations that Batman was drawn to the traveling Haly's Circus that was being exploited by a local mob boss. Wayne would take in the then-orphaned Richard "Dick" Grayson and focus Grayson's anger into training and enhancing Grayson's skills, which would ultimately result in Grayson becoming Batman's junior partner, Robin. Together Wayne and Grayson would protect Gotham City from many costumed villains as well as many powerful crime lords and mob bosses including the notable and far reaching crime master Ra's al Ghul. Batman and Robin would also begin engaging in many far reaching cases outside of Gotham City, which would involve other heroes, most notably Superman.
Sometime after Bruce Wayne took in Dick Grayson as his ward, Alfred Pennyworth showed up unannounced at Wayne Manor to become the butler, having made a promise to do so by his dying father Jarvis Pennyworth, Thomas Wayne's old butler. Although at first Wayne and Grayson kept their identities a secret from him, Alfred soon learned their secret during an emergency and began assisting the Batman and Robin team, adding maintenance of the Batcave to his many duties at Wayne Manor.
Wayne as Batman would later join Superman and the other primary heroes in their attempt to repulse the invading Space alien Starro who planned on enslaving the entire planet Earth and its populace. It would be during this adventure that Wayne along with the other heroes would form the Justice League of America.
Robin was never asked to become part of the Justice League. In response to that exclusion, the Earth-One Robin forms the Teen Titans along with the other teenage "sidekicks" of the elder superheroes including Speedy (partner of Green Arrow), Wonder Girl (younger sister of Wonder Woman), Aqualad (partner to Aquaman) and Kid Flash (sidekick of The Flash).
Later Career
Batman would continue to engage in many cases protecting Earth-One citizens from many different and exotic threats, but mostly remained a private detective fighting human level criminals. But his most intense personal case would be against the already dead noted anti-hero Deadman. It was during this case that Wayne found out his once catatonic brother, Thomas Wayne Jr., had seemingly recovered and was engaging in a somewhat reclusive live as an acrobat at a traveling circus. Actually Thomas had been manipulated by an undisclosed crime organization into becoming an active assassin and was using the circus as his cover. Batman learned of his existence and exposed the actual mastermind behind Thomas Jr.'s murder assignments and manipulation. Deciding that Thomas had effectively given up his right to life as a willing participant in various murders, Deadman took possession of Thomas's body to resume his career as an acrobat. Determined to give his brother at least a partial chance at recovery and redemption, Batman tracked down Deadman and demanded that the ghost relinquish his hold on Thomas Jr.'s body and fragmented persona. Deadman fought against Batman and Superman for control of the body, but lost control over it back to Thomas Jr. In a selfless act to protect the unaware Batman, Thomas Jr. dove in front of firing gunmen who were part of the same criminal group that he himself had been part of – saving his brother's life at the cost of his own.[15]
Distant "Relatives"
Wayne would have many of the extreme cases that would directly effect him such as dealing with the Earth-Two Robin and Huntress. While Wayne was almost immediately accepted by the Earth-Two Wayne's daughter who affectionately referred to the Earth-One Wayne as her "Uncle Bruce", Wayne was not so well received by the adult version of his junior partner who felt that the Earth-One Wayne was another pretender to the role that the Earth-Two Wayne had originated. The Earth-Two Grayson's feeling was in part from his own feelings of failing as Batman II and that no one could really measure up to the Earth-Two Batman, especially not a Batman who was even younger than him. The Earth-Two Grayson and Earth-One Wayne would resolve their differences later on and team up on many occasions, though Grayson would never again adopt the role of Batman II.[18]
The End
The Earth-One Wayne would never actually meet his Earth-Two counterpart who was dying of cancer and was actually killed in battle. But the Earth-One Batman would occasionally venture to Earth-Two and meet with his extended family native to that reality. Wayne would continue on as Batman after his Robin left for college in many solo cases. He would continue on protecting and defending the Earth-One reality when the Crisis on Infinite Earths came to Earth-One. Like all the heroes and other powered beings who fought at the "Dawn of Time", Batman was saved from the erasure that compressed all five of the surviving realities into one universe. It would be in the last Crisis battles on the newly formed Primary Earth that the Earth-One Batman would find the incinerated remains of the Earth-Two Robin and Huntress who were killed by the Thunderers of the Anti-Monitor.[19]
The Earth-One Batman was ultimately destroyed and reintroduced to match the new universe as a new person with a completely new history and origin.
Powers and Abilities
- Criminology: Batman is an expert in all fields relating to criminal investigation.
- Business Management
- Martial Arts
- Indomitable Will: Possessed great mental strength. In one instance, Batman is captured and subjected to torture, part of a process called The Demolishment, including spending days in a sensory deprivation tank that had test subject go mad within two days. He survives by repeating the name "Joe Chill" over and over as a mantra to maintain his sanity.[20]
- Utility Belt: The Batcave is equipped with a state-of-the-art computer network system, as well as the most advanced criminal analysis detection equipment available. When he is out fighting crime, Batman's greatest asset is his utility belt, which houses a wide variety of useful tools and gadgets.
- Batmobile: Batman utilizes a custom-made urban assault vehicle commonly referred to as the Batmobile. Over the years, he has used many different Batmobiles, all of which are equipped with different modifications to suit his present needs.
- Batarang: Batman believes that the mind is a combatant's single greatest weapon, but he also bolsters his offensive capabilities with a supply of razor-edged, collapsible Batarangs.
- This version of Bruce Wayne (Earth-One), including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985-86 Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series. Even though versions of the character may have since appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
- The character of Batman was created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane. Later versions of the character were developed further by several creators including Carmine Infantino, Dick Giordano, Dick Sprang and Dennis O'Neil.
- DC Comics has never made a clear distinction between when the Golden Age Batman stories end, and the Silver Age Batman stories begin. As such, there is also room for interpretation in determining which Bronze Age Batman stories carry over into the modern Post-Crisis environment and which ones should be considered apocryphal. Mike's Amazing World of DC indicates Superman #76 as the first appearance of the Earth-One Batman. It is believed by some, that this issue represents the earliest possible appearance of the Earth-One Batman.
- In the new Crime Syndicate of Amerika in the Anti-Matter Universe Thomas Wayne, Jr. is the surviving Wayne brother and becomes the costumed adventurer known as Owlman, who, in keeping with the reverse world, blames his father for his mother's and brother's deaths but is later found to have survived the attempt on his life.
- Prior to becoming the Batman, Bruce Wayne fought crime as a teenager as Earth-One's first Robin.
- Superman claims that he has only once ever seen Batman truly express fear... and that was during the Crisis on Infinite Earths.[21]
- In a story published in 1957, Bruce Wayne briefly takes on the mantle of Starman in order to thwart Professor Milo, who had hypnotized him into a terrible phobia of bats. This 'Starman of 1951' was later retconned (post Crisis on Infinite Earths) to have been Charles McNider rather than Bruce, however.
- Bruce Wayne is also known as Bats, the Caped Crusader, the Cowled Crusader, the Dark Knight, the Dark Knight Detective, the Gotham Gangbuster, the Knock-Out King, the Masked Manhunter.

Overlooking the waters of the Clyde, the rolling pastures of Lanarkshire, and the historic market towns of Biggar and Lanark, the luxury self-catering accommodation at Kirkfield Gardens is an oasis of calm in which to relax and watch the world pass by.
The lodges at Kirkfield Gardens combine elegance with simplicity. Crafted from the timbers of the Canadian cedar, the lodges are finished with the finest ceramics, linens and oaks to offer intimate and luxurious self-catering accommodation. Surrounded by birch trees and firs, the landscaped grounds of Kirkfield Gardens offer privacy and tranquility and play host to a variety of flora and fauna.
The farmlands of southern Scotland have been my home for twenty years. My hope is that the cultural, historic, literary and sporting treasures that first captured my heart will capture yours as you stay at Kirkfield Gardens.
I look forward to welcoming you to Kirkfield Gardens.
What Others Are Saying
We had a fabulous time at Kirkfield Gardens. The accommodation was beyond comprehension; it was cosy, yet modern in all respects and well equipped. The proprietors were welcoming, helpful and couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. We highly recommend it , we will certainly be making a return visit.
I visited the Cedar Lodge with my son to take part in a golf tournament and was very impressed. The lodge was extremely clean, comfortable and very tastefully decorated. The location was quiet and the surrounding area wooded and beautiful. We were very surprised and happy to see that fresh baked bread and and a small array of jellies awaited us upon arrival. The owner of the property was extremely pleasant and was able to help us with all that we needed.
We had an amazing visit at Carole's Oak Lodge over New Year which was beyond our expectations. Carole had spoken to us in advance and had arranged a couple of nice wee extras like fresh baked bread and a bottle of fizz for us to enjoy over the festive season. In addition, she delivered fresh & warm home baked scones. We stay in some lovely places throughout the world and we would recommend Kirkfield Gardens 100%
We stayed in the Oak Lodge for a week when touring central Scotland. After reading the reviews here I was really looking forward to our holiday and I was not disappointed. Carole was delightful offering help when visiting Glasgow and Edinburgh and her advice was spot on. Our welcome basket and freshly baked scones were magnificent and so appreciated. The quality of the lodge was that of a 5 star hotel room and the wet room was to die for… I want one at home!
We have stayed in some great hotels around the world, but the standard of the accommodation at the lodges was second to none. The lodges really are like luxury hotel suites. The attention to detail, and the personal touches that Carole, the owner, has put in to make her guests welcome, are just excellent. Too many to list, you wont get that level of service at any hotel. We will definitely be back, thanks Carole!
What a fantastic find – beautiful up to the minute accommodation, fully equipped with everything you could need for a short self-catering break. Set on top of a hill overlooking the beautiful Clyde Valley – secluded yet only 5-10minutes drive into Lanark and all local amenities. As well as supplying a welcome package of goodies Carole met us on our arrival with a tin of homemade chocolate muffins, you could not ask for a better host.

Undercover Boss Analysis of Stephen J. Cloobeck: CEO of Diamond Resorts International
Name: Stephen J. Cloobeck
Title: CEO of Diamond Resorts International
Headquarters: Las Vegas, NV
Product or Service: Hospitality and Vacation Resort Brand
Brief Overview:
In this week's episode of "Undercover Boss", Stephen J. Cloobeck, CEO of Diamond Resorts International, goes undercover to gain perspective into the lives and jobs of the employees at his company.
Position 1: Resort Engineer
Overview: Stephen Cloobeck goes under cover as "Jack Fisher", assist Randy at his first trial position of resort engineer. He stands by with a fire extinguisher as Randy welds a broken AC unti on the building rooftop. He later helps Randy replace old lights with new standard Diamond Resorts lights.
Result: A small fire breaks out, but the pair is able to contain it. Cloobeck overcomes his fear of the ladder (not the corporate one, that's for sure). Cloobeck learns that Randy once owned an RV repair business, but the company that purchased it owed Randy 240k before declaring bankruptcy. Randy and his wife are now forced to work two jobs to prepare for retirement.
How he made amends: Cloobeck awards Randy $150k to pay off his entire mortgage, and throws in an additional $50k in cash as icing on the cake.
What he should have done: Cloobeck really didn't change anything about this role in particular, but in this short segment, you would be hard pressed to find even one real job related issue. Our first thought was lack of safety while welding the roof unit, but they did have a fire extinguiser and wet cloths (I'm not AC technician, but that sounds reasonable).
Cloobeck earned some major generosity points by paying off Randy's mortgage. He also had his own share of business deals gone bad, so this act really brought his empathy to the spotlight.
Position 2: Booking Agent
Overview: Stephen listens in as Sarah answers calls from customers looking to make reservations at various locations.
Result: Sarah makes a number of painfully apparent errors – such as not spelling a destination location correctly in the system, preventing her from providing potential reservation dates. After about 4 in a row, Cloobeck explodes, reveals his identity, and marches directly to Sarah's supervisor. He is displeased with their training, to say the least.
Doing his short stint as a booking agent, he learns that Sarah is working towards a business degree in college, while working for Diamond Resorts.
How he made amends: Cloobeck first apologizes, stating that it is not Sarah's fault for her lack of proper training. He states that he will now be personally training each team member at the facility. Cloobeck awards Sarah and friend a first class trip to Hawaii (hoping she will learn the Hawaiian resort names, half jokingly), and pays her $15k, to cover her school loans.
What he should have done: Was it actually the entire team booking agents who required training, or just Sarah? That's the real question. Either way, a CEO of a company this size has got to have better things to do than spend time retraining the entire squad of booking agents.
Cloobeck should have pressured their direct managers to improve their performance and training, and setting some new standards. It's their job to train the agents – not the CEO's.
Position 3: Painter
Overview: Stephen follows Greg from building to building, performing various touch-ups, such as sanding down walls to be repainted, and calling in leaks to the technical team.
Result: The job itself is relatively unpleasant – Greg is forced to use a hand sander on the ceiling, rather than a power sander, which adds considerable time to the job. The safety glasses and masks they use are on the lowest-of-the-low-end of things, and make it difficult to see/breath.
Greg notes several difficulties with the job, specifically the fact that there are hundreds of buildings for each employee to monitor, spreading them very thin. He also notes his displeasure with the fact that he had been there for several years with no pay increases. Cloobeck learns that Greg enjoys cooking on the side, and because he has car trouble, has trouble making it to work.
How he made amends: Cloobeck states that he will be upgrading the safety googles and masks, as well as providing electric power sanders, to assist Greg and the other Painters. He says he will work to improve the staffing issues. He enrolls Greg in a "meat of the month club" (it's like Clark Griswold's "jelly of the month club, but with meat"), and buys him an industrial freezer. Additionally, Greg is given a new hybrid truck, and a $20k cash bonus. Cha-ching!
What he should have done: New power tools for better efficiency? Check. New goggles and masks for better safety? Check. New employees for better staffing? Check.
Cloobeck aced this round, and his added generosity did not go unnoticed.
Position 4: Front Desk
Overview: Amanda shows Stephen how to work the front desk at one of the resort locations, checking people in and out.
Result: Stephen is shocked to see that the front desk was still using an archaic hand written paper system for scheduling and bookkeeping. Amanda describes her displeasure in how they are told to deal with overbooking – they are essentially told to inform the customer that an unfortunate maintenance issue is preventing them from assigning the room. Apparently, several customers didn't take this so well.
Cloobeck learns that Amanda's mom has multiple sclerosis, and Amanda is struggling to chip in with her medical bills. Amanda states that she would go to Ireland, if she could go anywhere.
How he made amends: Cloobeck says he will be changing script used to deal with overbooking situations, specifically by proactively contacting customers much earlier to let them know of overbookings and provide new arrangements. Amanda is offered a position to work in Ireland, and is awarded a $50k cash bonus.
What he should have done: Stephen Cloobeck nails the overbooking problem, but fails at the easy layup – the paper based bookkeeping system. He even says himself "C'mon, its 2010!"
Cloobeck, get back in there and upgrade this site to a modern day scheduling and reservation system. Ditch the paper, save some trees, and make it easier on your employees at the same time.
Stephen Cloobeck earned a "B" grade for his appearance on Undercover Boss.
Admittedly, it was within inches of an "A", considering his generosity – but you can't buy your way through this test. He missed the necessary IT upgrades for the front desk team, and took a rather unorthodox approach to the training issues of his booking agents.
Finally, the one side note that cemented him in "B" territory was the fact that he opted not to stay in a low grade hotel while away from home, and instead stayed in a fancy 5 star hotel. A minor detail, but still – to get the truest sense of what it might be like not to be CEO, he should have lowered his standards a bit just for that week or so.
Don't like our grade? Drop us a rebuttal, and leave a comment below.

Giving Credit where Credit is Due!
I must give credit to the North County Times editorial board for having the integrity and honor to very boldly publish a correction for a previously published misleading piece. They didn't hide it on the page two "corrections" blurb, they put it right out there in the editorial section where the error occurred. If this type of responsive and admirable journalistic character and integrity were the norm in the mainstream media, I believe the public would have far more respect for it, and they would have far more credibility with the public. Thank you North County Times for doing the right thing. You make me proud to be a subscriber and occasional Community Forum contributer!
From this mornings North County Times Editorial page : Editorial correction in italics below.
Exec's pay hike $10,000 per year; was misstated. A "raspberry" published Monday inadequately described the nature of a raise awarded to San Diego Association of Governments Executive Director Gary Gallegos by the Agencies board Jun. 22. The board acted to extend Gallegos' existing contract for three years with a $10,000 raise in his base salary each year for a total of a $30,000 increase.. His current contract includes a similar raise for the next two years. As a result of the board's action, Gallegos' salary will increase by $50,000 during the next five years. The original "Raspberry" characterized the increase as "a $50,000 raise". We apologize.
On another note, one of the email exchanges from one of the editor's referenced my earlier post regarding this issue on this very blog, SDRostra.com. Could it be that our humble site is viewed as a source of information from the powers that be? Interesting…
11 Responses to "Giving Credit where Credit is Due!"
Could it be that our humble site is viewed as a source of information from the powers that be? Interesting…
Well, this North County Times reporter keeps an eye on what SD Rostra says, and alerts editors to pertinent info. And I will continue to do so.
That was supposed to be:
How much money does a SANDAG manager need to make? We can't find someone who will do a kick ass job of implementing the policies the SANDAG board develops for $200,000 a year? If Gary left, SANDAG would fall apart? Gary could not be replaced?
"Are the editors merely envious of a highly compensated extremely competent individual who is serving our region admirably?"
The quote above is from your previous post pointing out the errors in the NCT editorial Raspberry. And I would say that this citizen is envious of Mr. Gallegos. As a working stiff in the private sector, I had more than one involuntary reduction in my compensation during the last year. What politician in their right mind would approve extending a civil servant's employment agreement for three years when there were two remaining, especially when it included an automatic raise?
La Mesa Mayor Madrid had it right when he provided this quote to the U-T: "It really just indicates to the public that we really don't give a damn about what they think."
I believe in paying for performance. If Gallegos is exceptional in his performance, and by all accounts he is, whhy begrudge the man a contractually agreed upon pay raise?
For a "center right" blog, the comments above by SB and a.j.foytunate seem wayyyyyyyy left to me.
Interesting comments…
Huh? Interesting comment, indeed. Since when is questioning public sector pay raises–and contract extensions–when the private sector is reeling from pay cuts during these tough economic times considered "wayyyyyyyy left"? Seems like some fairly straightforward fiscal conservatism.
Mr. Gallegos has a job and his base salary alone is pretty freakin' hefty, though it seems to be in line with others who do the same thing. His contract also provides for a raise so long as he doesn't do anything to get fired. In other words, he doesn't need to have an "exceptional performance" to get his raise. From the comments of the Board members that spoke about this subject, Mr Gallegos does a great job, so he appears to be earning his raise each year.
However, why extend the contract for three years now–especially with two years remaining? My guess is that some agency was attempting to hire Mr. Gallegos away, and he let the board know about it, asking for the extension in order to feel he had his long-term interests protected. I can't think of any other reason these astute politicians would take this action, which they had to know wouldn't look good.
Mr. Stocks took to this blog to correct the inaccuracies in the NCT Raspberry editorial and got his published correction. But he's yet to speak to the issue of how this contract extension looks to the Average Joe. Maybe, as Mayor Madrid stated, he doesn't give a damn what we think.
Call me at 760-931-1144 and we can talk it through in person, or maybe arrange to meet face to face. That's always nice.
Certain jobs have certain pay ranges. It's called "class and comp" which stands for "classification and compensation". The CEO of Palomar / Pomerado Hospital District got a raise and bonus bigger than Gallegos' annual salary. Same can be said for many wall-street and banker types.
Gallegos brought our region hundreds of millions of infrastructure dollars that we would not have gotten by government formula. That's serious performance, and yes, I, along with the vast majority of the Board was more than willing to extend our commitment to him and he in turn extended his commitment to the region.
Does that help explain things? If not, or even if so, feel free to call me.
Jerome Stocks
P.S. I'm posting under me real name for all to see. How 'bout you?
Didn't think so…
Thanks for the reply Mr. Stocks. It's good to know where you're coming from, though I wouldn't recommend that you rationalize a civil servant's contract extension by citing the compensation practices of Hospital administrators, Wall Street and Banker types. They're not the most popular bunch in the "real America" right now.
I appreciate your offer to talk about this on the phone or in person. Needless to say, I won't be taking you up on that, since you've made yourself pretty clear with your SANDAG vote on this matter, as well as your last couple of blog posts. I think my position is pretty clear too: extending the contract of a civil servant that had two years remaining on it seems out-of-touch given the current state of economic affairs.
As far as your postscript is concerned, if it makes you feel any better, I've been writing under this name since 1982. I don't see any reason to stop now. Whether I agree or disagree with someone, I enjoy using this new medium to exchange ideas and don't really care if I know the writer's true identity. But it's great that you are literate enough to carry on here, something that very few of our elected officials could do.

Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.

raised some eyebrows
Johnson & Johnson
(NYSEJNJ) said it would pay $2.2 billion to settle probes regarding its drug marketing, and

It's been a century since he was at the height of his fame, but Harry Houdini remains a universally recognized figure in pop culture, and one who we all figure we know pretty well. But Summit Entertainment is aiming to show us the Houdini we don't know, adapting the book The Secret Life of Houdini: The Making of America's First Superhero into a feature adventure film.
That's right-- no stuffy biopics for these guys. According to THR, they're aiming to adapt William Kalush and Larry Sloman's book into an adventure story starring a figure who's part Indiana Jones, and part Sherlock Holmes. Apparently there's some historical precedence for it, given that the book alleges that Houdini was a spy for Britain and devoted much of his career to debunking "spiritualists" who were just straight-up con men.
As much as I'd love the world to have another Indiana Jones, given that the guy should very much stick in retirement, I think I'd rather him be fictional. Using the real-life Houdini limits where the narrative can go, and no matter how much you try not to make a biopic, the narrative of real life usually takes over at some point. We'll see what the person eventually hired to adapt the book can do with it.

June 25, 2013
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The Alabama softball team had four student-athletes named to the 2013 Easton Fastpitch All-American team, the organization announced. Senior Kayla Braud, junior Jackie Traina and the freshmen duo of Andrea Hawkins and Haylie McCleney were all named to the first team.
Braud (Eugene, Ore.) earned the accolade for the third time in her storied career. The senior capped off her time at the Capstone in impressive fashion, ranking third in the country with a .471 average, adding 90 hits, 65 runs and 38 stolen bases. Braud finished her career with a .438 average in her four years, breaking the Alabama career record held by Kelly Kretschman.
Traina (Naples, Fla.) earned All-American honors for the third straight season as well. The right-hander posted a 19-8 record with a 2.49 ERA. She struck out 214 in 199 2/3 innings pitched while holding opponents to a .217 average. She also hit .333 with 13 home runs and 45 RBI while leading the team with a .701 slugging percentage.

San Francisco Interior Designing firm Nicole Hollis came to us with their inspiration image for the production of a contemporary stone carved sink.
The selected material was Tuscan Silver Travertine.
We rely a lot on the expertise of our masons in Italy. With hundreds of years of experience, passed down from older generations, they need not just judge a stone by what they can see but they also must understand what is going on inside the block, how the veins move, if there are any weak spots.
With a circular sink, and the choice of a travertine that is rich in texture, you ideally want to emphasize the stone characteristics, so the objective was to see if we could find a vein that would circle the drain hole. And this is where we look at our masons to choose not just the right block but where and what direction to cut.
Once the choice is made and the routing machines are set you can only wait as the CNC machines go about their precise and meticulous work
Cutting stone is all about patience and dust. Water is used to keep the router bits from overheating but also to lubricate and keep the stone dust to a minimum. Two sinks were cut, in case one does not have the vein patters we were looking for, or in case cracks or other structural iperfections were to be found.
Once the raw sink is "roughed out" the measurements are checked against the shop drawings. Custom designs require not just overall designs to be precise but also smaller details alike the radius of the curve of the lip. To make sure we had all aspects covered we shipped out the drain hardware to Italy to make sure we had an exact fit.
Once the dimensions are checked the masons will begin the slow work of finishing the sink, This is done strictly by hand with a variety of tools, some electrical but, depending on the job some are still free hand. The finishing can take a person a couple of days to get right.
The final product is exactly what we hoped for - with not just one but two gorgeous veins circling the sink, one at the rim and one near the drain. Silver Travertine is quarried in Tuscany and, despite it's name is not primarily silver. It has wonderful warm beiges throughout with the strong silver/grey veins that give the stone its name.
And now, courtesy of Nicole Hollis, we have a couple of photos of the final install!

Bad Blood
Although the Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers are geographically the closest two teams to each other, tonight proved that the Chicago White Sox are still the most heated rival of the Twins.
In the earlier innings of tonight's game, the ChiSox jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead (thanks in part to a Jim Thome long fly to left), only to see it trimmed to 4-3 on another Justin Morneau clutch home run. Then, in the seventh inning, all hell broke loose:
With Denard Span leading off the inning, Span appeared to be hit by the pitch, but after an A.J. Pierzynski appeal to the umpire, the ump ruled that Span offered at the ball in his bunt attempt. Later, replays would clearly show that it was an incorrect call. Ron Gardenhire stormed out of the dugout to argue, but was ejected before he reached the top step. After a few minutes of theatrics, Gardy kicked his cap high into the air before retreating into the dugout, inspiring many fans to throw their caps out on the field. In a tense situation, Ozzie Guillen pulled his Sox off the field for a short time before order could be restored (essentially, until all the drunk guys could be settled down).
When all was restored, Denard Span drew a walk and later scored on a Joe Mauer single. Then, with Morneau and Delmon Young on base, Kubel launched a laser beam into deep right field to give the Twins a 7-4 lead.
A two-run shot from Jermaine Dye briefly moved the Pale Hose to within one run, but the Twins opened things up again in the eighth, scoring three times for the 10-6 final.
Considering the dramatic comeback, tense rivalry, and bullpen battles this game featured, it may very well have been the single most exciting game of the season to date.
My Thoughts:
-Dome, Sweet, Dome. Hopefully, by continuing to win at home, the Twins are slowly gaining enough confidence to go out and win a few road contests. With the big road trip at the end of August and beginning of September, the Twins will need to learn this valuable skill.
-Twins/Sox in the last homestand of the season. Division title on the line? Better glue Gardy's cap to his head!
Preview (60-48, 2nd, 0.5 GB CWS): Nick Blackburn (7-6, 3.69) vs. Jeremy Sowers (1-5, 5.86). Sowers pitched well against the Twins last Sunday, until we strung a few hits together in the late innings to get the W. Blackie pitches well at home, and the Indians don't play well anywhere, much less the Dome.

Records inspections, need some help?
Here are some tips that you can use if you are going to inspect the official records of your condominium association:
- Ask your association in advance to tell you what rules they have adopted concerning records inspections.
- Know what records are accessible for inspection and which are not.
DBPR brochure on Official Records:
- It is true that there is no requirement that you send your records inspection request by certified mail. However, if your request is not honored, the Division will not open an investigation without proof that it was received by your association.
- Although it is not required, it is very important that you specify which documents you want to inspect. This will help facilitate and shorten the amount of time the inspection will take.
Your condo association has 5 working days from receipt of your request to make the records available, 10 business days if you live in a Homeowners Association.
- If you want copies of documents, the right to inspect the records includes the right to make or obtain copies, at the reasonable expense, if any, of the member. 718.111 12 c
In a Homeowners Association there may be other expenses.
The association may impose fees to cover the costs of providing copies of the official records, including, without limitation, the costs of copying. The association may charge up to 50 cents per page for copies made on the association's photocopier. If the association does not have a photocopy machine available where the records are kept, or if the records requested to be copied exceed 25 pages in length, the association may have copies made by an outside vendor or association management company personnel and may charge the actual cost of copying, including any reasonable costs involving personnel fees and charges at an hourly rate for vendor or employee time to cover administrative costs to the vendor or association. 720.303 5 c
If you have questions about any financial information that you have obtained it is a good idea to have an accountant look at them before making any assumptions.
Want to learn about official records and how records inspections should be conducted?
Come to our free "Records Revelations" class next Wednesday May 8, 2013 11 am-12:30pm, at our Katzman Garfinkel and Berger Law and learning Center 5297 West Copans Rd, Margate Fl. 33063
We would love to have you share your inspection adventures with the class
Refreshments will be served.

Raw oatmeal recipe
Prep Time
Total Time
Shelf LifeEat immediately
- 1 1/4 cups quick oats (pre-cooked)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 apple
- 1 tablespoon raisins
Recipe Directions
- 1. OPTIONAL TO SOFTEN: The night before, throw the water, raisins and then oats into your blender. Let them sit overnight.
- 2. In the morning, start your blender (and if you didn't soak the night before, throw the water, raisins and then the oats into your blender). While the water and oats are blending, chop the apple and then add it to the blender, too.
- 3. Continue blending until the oatmeal is a nice, smooth texture.
- 4. Eat! I love to top this oatmeal with more whole raisins and a sprinkle of cinnamon. This recipe makes for a very filling breakfast.
The Rawtarian's ThoughtsBy The Rawtarian
In the morning, my breakfast is almost always either fresh fruit, a green smoothie, or--my favourite--quick, blended oatmeal.
This recipe does take a bit of preparation because it should be soaked overnight, but, with only a few ingredients, it's so easy! (PS: You can do it without soaking but it won't be as smooth.)
Of course, like any good oatmeal, top this recipe with fruit or whatever suits your fancy!
PS: It has recently come to my attention that eating truly uncooked oats is not safe. Thus, I have modified this recipe to use quick rolled oats, which have been cooked but are way better for your digestive system. Truly raw (uncooked) oats are very tough on the digestive system and should not be eaten because of their high amount of phytic acid.

I tired this recipe for breakfast this morning. I used blueberries and a little bit of almond milk. I also added some honey. Cut 1/2 banana and sweet !!!! Thank you. I am a fan!
Apr 22, 2013
BTW.. I am also going to try your brownies..my hubby and I went to the health food store...AGAIN...lol last night to get the ingredients. I've been on a juice fast for the last two weeks and, I have been craving sweets all week!!!

Raw oatmeal recipe
The taste was great but it is just too gummy of a texture for me. I might try not soaking it overnight and see if that is better.
Hi Jessica! Thanks for your review. To be honest, I am not crazy about this recipe anymore either. I think it needs some tweaking!!

You can use really raw oats!
Soak them 12-24 hours with double the amount of water, 1tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1tbsp buckwheat flour. Buckwheat contains phytase which will pre-digest the phytic acid for ya! Drain and rinse well before adding to the recipe.
Thanks for your note - this sounds like an excellent solution!!! How did you figure this out?

I'm in school to become a certified holistic nutrition consultant, so I'm always looking for ways to optimize nutrition for vegans. I actually found the buckwheat flour idea on a marksdailyapple.com forum thread, and the reasoning is totally sound. I've done it a few times and made it into overnight oats, and I didn't have any issues even though I don't tolerate grains well.
Thanks very much for sharing your finds. This is a good one. I appreciate the nudge in this direction, because the oat issue has been perplexing me for a long time now.
Please share any other juicy tidbits that you discover.
And yay for the world that you're in school and are contributing to make the world a better place. The world needs that special something that only you have.

Can we use quick cooking oats even though we are not heating them? What would be the benefit or difference between using steel cut oats and rolled oats?
Hi Aiyana,
It is not healthy or safe to eat uncooked oats. They are high in phytic acid which is bad for digestion.
Even soaking overnight oats are not a good idea, in my opinion. (Unless you are using pre-cooked oats, like quick oats, which are not raw and those are fine to eat because they are already cooked.)
I am not an anal person and I don't really care about whether you eat organic or soak your nuts etc, but, truly, eating uncooked oats is bad for your health.

Mar 11, 2016
Thank you for your feedback. I made the recipe and lightly heated the oatmeal. It tasted great!
Perfect Aiyana! Thanks for letting me know how it turned out :)
Mar 02, 2016
This recipe is fine. Just wasn't my thing I guess. Soaked the oats overnight so it was creamy. Flavor was good. I think I struggled with it being cold. Wonder if next time I might warm it up just a little and may like it even better. Also, I'm trying to lose weight so the serving size for me would have to be one serving.
I am a bit tortured about this recipe myself. It's really gummy.
Jan 24, 2016
I love this app. This one is the best so far. However I have a question a out this recipe. The serving size have 3 portions, the calories per serving are 210, so it will be a total of 630 calories. I don't think the ingredients are too high in calories. I think I am reading this wrong. Do I need to multiply the portions by the total of calories, or the calories are the total calories for the recipe, including all the ingredients, and the serving size is just a guide and doesn't affects the serving size?
Thank you and this app is awesome!
Hi Sally,
I'm happy that you're enjoying the app!
I agree that this one is a confusing one, since it sounds like there's not a lot there in the recipe, but the calories are quite high per serving.
A 1/4 cup of dry steel cut oats is 150 calories, according to the tub of steel cut oats that's sitting in my kitchen. Thus, this recipe in full (1 1/4 cup steel cut oats etc) is at least 750+ calories.
Does this help?

Raw oatmeal recipe
Made this and loved it! I think I'll skip the blending next time as it's very smooth.
So glad you enjoyed it, Dorothy :)
Nov 26, 2014
Could there be a typo on the ingredients? I was preparing to soak my oats tonight to try this for tomorrow and I noticed the cooking directions on my steel-cut oats are 1 cup oats to 4 cups water for 4 servings. Should the ingredients be 1/4 cup oats instead of 1 1/4 cup for 1 serving? Thanks.
Nov 22, 2015
Gonna try this for tomorrow's breakfast but I did notice EileenM that on the top of this recipe, it states this is three servings. If you want just one serving, you change modify it now. ;-)
Hi Eileen! Nope, no typo! :)
Nov 03, 2014
Can you store this for a few days in the refrigerator?
You could, but it's better fresh. I don't store mine.

Raw oatmeal recipe
All of these recipes look so very good. There is not a recipe of yours that I have tried and did not love. I am so excited to try them all. Thank you so very, very much for your generosity.
You are very welcome, Janice! I'm so pleased you love my recipes!

i've never heard of steel cut oats. I have jumbo oats, is there a big difference. I'll start on them and then look for steel cut oats then.

Amarillo photographers are the subjects of two exhibitions at the Carson County Square House Museum, according to a news release.
Dr. Phillip Periman's "The Attribute of Eternal: The City Churches Designed by Sir Christopher Wren" and Jim Jordan's "Iglesia Suite" will hang through Oct. 31. A reception for the artists will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sept. 30.
Periman's exhibition, also the subject of a recently published book, hangs in the Hazlewood Gallery. The oncologist, a native of Panhandle, has exhibited work in several galleries in Texas, the Southwest and in France. He recently opened the I C Gallery, 1501 S. Washington St., in Amarillo.
Jordan's exhibition focuses on small churches in New Mexico. He is the director of the Southern Light Gallery on the Amarillo College campus.
The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. For information, call 537-3524.

Since it's Memorial Weekend, here's what's going on in Willamette Valley Wineries
Now, onto this week's opportunities to taste wine; vino: beginning this week, any Saturday tasting will be listed along with the wine shops Friday offering. If the shop does not have a Friday tasting scheduled, but will have a Saturday program, the program will be posted alone, clearly marked for Saturday. Hopefully this will provide more opportunities for you to taste wine, and learn more about what you like, what in wine you like or dislike, and discover more about what wine has to offer.
Now, more informed, interest increasing… check-out selections for Friday. An unusual number has not posted their schedule, nor emailed out their information. Watch for updates through today, Thursday, and as late as Friday morning. An apology is offered, but doesn't get the info updated any quicker!

Portrait of Oregon & Washington Wine Country!
"Washington and Oregon share hundreds of miles of border. They are the second and fourth leading wine producing states in the nation and together have well over 1,000 wineries between them. Yet the two areas could not seem more different, almost as if there were an invisible divide between them.
"Let's start with a simple lay of the land and physical appearance. It can be summed up quite simply. Oregon wine country is green; Washington wine country is not.
"The majority of Oregon's grape growing regions are located west of the Cascade crest, where a prolonged rainy season followed by a short, relatively dry summer is the hallmark of the area. Regions of the Willamette Valley can have an average of 40 to 80 inches of rainfall annually.
"In contrast, virtually all of Washington's vineyards are located east of the Cascade crest. In the deserts of eastern Washington, summer temperatures regularly exceed 90-100 degrees and precipitation is minimal. Some of the wettest areas of eastern Washington's growing regions receive about 20 inches of precipitation annually. Many have less than half that.
"Join us this Friday as we welcome Lindsay Greene with Vertical Wine & Beer.

FRIDAY SIPS - Piedmont Wines from Olim Bauda
Special Guest from Olim Bauda - Gianni Bertolino
"Come join us to taste 4 wines from one of our favorite Asti-based, Piedmont producers. Representing his family's estate, Olim Bauda, Gianni Bertolino will be on hand to share and chat about these most delectable "Italian wines. 4 years ago we had Gianni here and it was a deliciously informative and fun Friday Sips. This afternoon will equal and then surpass it!
[**note shorter hours for this week's tasting!**]
Having now known and been offering, buying and consuming Olim Bauda's Barbera wines for 5 years now, it is now quite a thrill to see brothers Dino & Gianni Bertolino receiving adulation for their wines both from wine-lovers and the pundits. Rocchette is from the eponymous-named vineyard in Isole d'Asti whose vines were planted in 1950 and instantaneously one can discover that this wine steps it up a level or six from most 20 buck Barbera D'Asti wines!!
"Vinous driving nose of hearty Italian plum, mineral, gentle kisses of smoky oak and underlying cherry pit character. Big-boned with its fruit and velvety texture yet full of elegance and suaveness. A luminous presence of vividness follows through to a drawn-out lavish finish that displays hints of milk chocolate, coffee and plenty of fullness while maintaining poise and freshness. Very lingering, this wine is a steal for 20 bucks!!!
"We constantly hear from our different salesfolk, "tell me a 'insert wine here' that is better than this one is for this price." Truthfully, if we hear this one more time, we might have to resume the beatings. If there is one wine that ever fits this statement, it is the Olim Bauda's La Villa Barbera. A perennial Best Buy, it consistently exceeds expectations.
"The Barbera D'Asti La Villa is the soulful driving force of the estate, the every evening, share with friends red. Aged entirely in stainless steel it is resoundingly fresh with smoky-earthy tones wrapped around vibrant but layered strawberry and cranberry characteristics. Mouthwatering and terrific with salumi, pasta, grilled fish or veggies.
"We love it when old-school grapes that seemingly disappear from our wine vocabularies pop back up and are done in such alluring fashion. Grignolino is a grape whose roots trace back to the Asti and Monferrato areas of Piedmont and is one that makes light reds that have lots of burst, earth and energy. Breezy, stony, sanguine, spicy-earthy tones with subtle saline aspects. Bright, succulent, wiry, this cool wine possesses no shortage of personality or accentuation. Very dry, it can also be served with a slight chill. A nice wine for a picnic as well as being a red wine for fish.
"A few weeks back, I got to enjoy this wine with a piping hot bowl of mussels in broth with spinach and a heap of garlic and the first words out of my mouth were, "what the hell's not to like about this white!!" Along with being a Barbera specialist, Olim Bauda makes a devastatingly delicious, mouth-watering Gavi that absolutely lifts the palate. 100% of the Cortese grape grown in chalky soils with an underlay of clay, this low alcohol white reveals powdery citrus and blitzing mineral. Zippy, flavorful and a wine that coats and cleanses the entire palate. Open-knit and perfect for an aperitivo but even better with shellfish and green vegetables, alone or together.

"This week we revisit the best wines, for the money, in the world of fine wine. As usual the selection was easy and I had many options to choose from. Needless to say with that depth available the flight is as strong as ever. We have a few shop faves like the biodynamic wines from Ferme Saint Martin and a relatively new sensation with the unlikely name of Roucas Toumba. Pequelette is a new one, also under biodynamic principles. "Another story of a son taking over from the father who sold their prized grapes to a negociant. Son moves in, moves to farming in the best way known to man and now has taken an unknown estate into the upper echelon of Rhone producers. No wood on this one, just cement vats, which is the method used for some of my favorite Rhone wines.
"Next week we have the amazing Pinots from the small domaines of Burgundy. Not to be missed!
As a side note a customer recently suggested that I watch a documentary called "The Red Obsession." It's the story of the Chinese obsession with owning status Bordeaux, especially Chateau Lafite Rothschild. The doc goes much deeper than that and it's very well done." I highly recommend it to any wine lover!
