Story highlights
- A rare collection of Bruce Lee's belongings sold for over $250,000 at auction
- The top sale item, a yellow-and-black jumpsuit went for $100,000
- All 14 lots including weapons from his last film and hand-made drawings were sold
A yellow jumpsuit worn by martial arts legend Bruce Lee in one of his final fight scenes fetched HK$780,000 ($100,500) at auction on Thursday.
The famous outfit was one of 14 items in a collection of the actor's personal belongings and props that went under the hammer in Hong Kong. The sale fetched a total of more than HK$2 million ($258,000) -- double the auction house's estimate.
The costume, which features black stripes, was sold to an anonymous online bidder who purchased a total of six pieces.
It's one of only two jumpsuits worn by Lee during filming of the movie, "Game of Death," and has inspired tributes in popular culture ranging from Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" to the ninth video game in the "Grand Theft Auto" series.
Wooden nunchaku (also known as nunchuks) used in the central fighting sequence in "Game of Death" went to a British investment manager, George Philips, for HK$540,000 ($69,000).
A green bamboo whip from the same film sold for HK$96,000 ($12,000).
The auction marked the first time these pieces have been offered in Hong Kong, according to Anna Lee, vice-chairperson of Spink auction house, which sold the items on behalf of an unnamed collector in the U.S. film industry.
All the lots came with a certificate of authenticity signed by members of Bruce Lee's family and friends, who inherited the items in 1973 after Lee's sudden death at the age of 32.
Lee gave most pieces to his former student, Taky Kimura, and to George Lee -- a close friend who made many of the actor's fighting props.
A jade pendant, which sold for HK$156,000 ($20,000), came from his brother, Robert. Bruce Lee designed and ordered the piece from one of Hong Kong's oldest jewelers just months before his death.
"He didn't get to see it because he passed away," Spink's Lee said.
After the kung fu star's death, his brother went to the jeweler, Chow Sang Sang, and paid for the piece, which features two opposing dragons in white and yellow gold, taking it into his possession.
While Lee is known as one of the world's greatest martial arts practitioners, he had many artistic talents including drawing, poetry and cha cha dancing.
Two hand-drawn pieces were also part of the Hong Kong sale, including a sketch of Chinese master monk believed to be a conceptual character for "The Green Bamboo Warrior," a movie project Lee was working on at the time of his death. The lot went for HK$66,000 ($8,500).
The other was an illustration of his teachings on water's flexible nature as an underlying principle of his martial arts philosophy, jeet kune do, which fetched HK$78,000 ($10,000).
Signed copies of a karate training book and a commemorative brochure, as well as a pair of Lee's kung fu shoes were among the other sale items.
"Bruce Lee is such an icon in Hong Kong. He personally kind of started this kung fu frenzy in the world way before Jackie Chan," said Lee at Spink.
"Although he was born in the United States, his roots were definitely in Hong Kong."
"He loved to write poems, he loved to draw; he was so cultural apart from being a kung fu star. He is definitely a legend," she said.
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco in 1940 but spent most of his childhood in Hong Kong after his parents returned to their hometown while Lee was an infant.
He died after suffering an allergic reaction to pain medication in July 1973, while filming of "Game of Death" was still in progress.
A version of the film was released five years later.
The Spink auction was one of a series of events being held this year to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the star's death.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
The Bitmain AntMiner S1 Bitcoin ASIC miners are shipped at 180 GH/s default hashrate and they do support easy overclocking to about 200GH/s or a little over by increasing the operating frequency of the chips that is set at 350 MHz by default. Increasing the frequency to 400 MHs seems to be the most common solution to overclock your AntMiner S1 in order to get about 200GH/s hashrate, however that leads to an increase in the number of HW errors that you are getting. Now, it is completely normal to get some HW errors for an ASIC, especially overclocked one, but the percentage value should be fairly low if everything is normal.
When you login to the Bitmain AntMiner S1 web interface and open the Miner Status page you have a field called HW, this field may show a high value, but in order to calculate the actual percent of the HW errors you need to use a special formula and not directly compare the number in the Accepted and HW fields as they may show similar numbers getting you to think that you are getting way too many errors when that is not the case.
AntMiner S1 HW Error Calculation Formula:
HW / (diffA + diffR + HW) * 100
By using the formula above we can calculate that our miner has:
1937 / 1747537 * 100 = 0.11% HW Error Rate
0.11% is a very acceptable HW Error percentage for a Bitmain AntMiner S1 ASIC overclocked to provide about 200 GH/s hashrate. That is however the case with our settings using 393 MHz overclock frequency of the chips with an average of 201.55 GH/s hashrate. If overclocking to 400 MHz we are getting a little bit of a GH/s increase, however the HW Error rate also goes from 0.11% to a little more than 1%, so no point pushing the clock of the chips to 400 MHz in our opinion.
In order to overclock your Bitmain AntMiner S1 ASIC to provide 200 GH/s and low HW Errors rate with our settings you need to follow the steps below:
– Login with SSH to your AntMiner S1 ASIC using the IP and username/password you've set it to use.
– Type "cd /etc/config" (without the quotes) in order to get to the folder where the config file is located on the miner.
– Type "vi asic-freq" (without the quotes) to edit the config file, comment the currently set options by placing # in front of them and add the following lines or directly replace the values with the following ones:
option 'freq_value' '5f05'
option 'chip_freq' '393.75'
option 'timeout' '36'
– Save the changes you have made and type "reboot" (without the quotes) to restart the miner, so that it can apply the new settings and start mining at 200 GH/s with the overclock settings you've set.

Edward Snowden sets privacy time bomb ticking
SEATTLE – Sen. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., asked the Federal Trade Commission on Thursday to formally investigate how online data brokers and marketers track consumers across their computing devices.
This latest development spinning out of the Edward Snowden affair suggests a privacy time bomb may be close to detonating.
Context: How web tracking has become a privacy time bomb
Markey reacted to a story in last Saturday's New York Times examining how the online advertising industry is now able to track consumers across the various platforms and devices they use, often without the user's knowledge or consent.
That Times' scoop followed an Oct. 2 report about how the National Security Agency conducted a secret pilot program in 2010 and 2011 to test the collection of bulk data about the location of Americans' cell phones. That pilot program was never carried out.
Even so, Markey said in a statement issued late Thursday to reporters that he is "concerned about the increasing practice of marketers scooping up digital traces from our phones, tablets and computers that are then stitched together into detailed dossiers without consumers' knowledge or permission."
In a separate -- but very much related development on Thursday -- data management firm Identity Finder disclosed how the caching mechanism in Google's popular Chrome browser stores unencrypted personal data in a way that makes it trivial for hackers to steal.
If privacy is the gunpowder in these developments, consumer trust is the fuse. For most of the past dozen years, U.S.consumers have extendedGoogle, Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple, Facebook, AOL, Verizon and AT&T a high level of trust as the tech giants went about devising infrastructure to collect vast amounts of data on how we use phone and Internet services.
Led by Google and Facebook, the online advertising industry should hit a record $40 billion in revenue this year by intensively data mining information culled from our Internet searches and web surfing. Contacts, interests and preferences we disclose in our web browsers and on our smartphone apps routinely gets co-mingled with personal disclosures made on popular social networks.
All of this tracking and profiling is in the service of delivering what the ad industry asserts is more relevant ads. By and large this is done without asking permission. All of this was just fine with the majority of U.S. consumers -- until Edward Snowden came along.
Snowden's disclosures of the NSA's PRISM surveillance program revealed the extent to which the tech giants turn over some of this sensitive consumer data over to government snoops. Snowden's whistleblowing -- and the surge of investigative reporting that has followed -- has given Americans an impetus to question online tracking, more along the lines of what Europeans have been doing for years.
The realization that the federal government has been tapping into the advertising industry's tracking data -- arguably with good reason: to track and deter terrorists -- has prompted consumers in both the U.S. and Europe to consider how to exert more individual control over what ought to stay private.
Make no mistake, the richest players in the online advertising industry desire no changes in the rules of how the game is played.Online ad sales rose 18% in the first six months of this year to $20.1 billion, and should easily top $40 billion by the time we get through Christmas sales, according to Interactive Advertising Bureau.
Over the past two years, Google and Facebook have poured millions into lobbying efforts toderailproposed federal Do Not Track regulations. And last month, the ad industryquietly stifled an earnest effort by the respected World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to establish voluntary Do Not Track standards, something the W3C had optimistically hoped to get done by the summer of 2013.
Sen. Markey has long championed the concerns of privacy advocates. In his letter to FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez, Markey writes: "Such tracking envelopes users in a digital environment where marketers know their preferences and personal information no matter which device they use while consumers are kept largely in the dark. I request that the Commission investigate this emerging tracking trend."

I have reasonable knowledge of PHP, Perl, and Bash. I use Perl for most text processing on my system (find, replace, filter output, etc). I use PHP for web development, allowing a user to view and interact with database data via the browser. I use Bash for quick and dirty scripts often to supplement the more complex Perl scripts.
I'm a big believer of focusing on as few languages as possible (to get the job done) and becoming an expert in them.
So the question is, why not use PHP for the common tasks that Perl (and Bash) are used? Are there good reasons (limitations or features) why PHP is mostly used for web development, while Perl and Bash are mostly used for "offline" "scripting"?

A 69-year-old Venice retiree convicted of embezzlement will not serve time in prison because of his age, cooperation with authorities and payment of restitution.
James Edward Hardigan, of the 100 block of Torcello Court in Venice, pleaded guilty in May in a Virginia court and faced up to 20 years in prison for felony embezzlement. He appeared before a judge in Richmond, Va., for sentencing last week.
Circuit Court Judge Bradley B. Cavedo gave Hardigan a 10-year suspended sentence and fined him $2,500.
The case stems from Hardigan's days as a professor at the School of Dentistry at Virginia Commonwealth University.
In 1995, Hardigan reportedly opened an investment account in the name of the VCU Dental Faculty Practice Association with $500,000 of the association's money. The association accepts patients and provides oral health care through its affiliation with VCU.
Prosecutors claim that, when he retired in 2004, Hardigan moved $137,553 that remained in the association's account to a personal account. They say 63 cents in interest later accrued in the association's account. That eventually prompted the investment firm that still had the account to notify the association, which did not know the account existed.
An audit then turned into a police investigation, which led to Hardigan's indictment by a grand jury in January.
At the sentencing hearing, Hardigan's attorney, Jeffrey L. Everhart, reportedly argued that his client had no criminal record prior to this case and otherwise led an "exemplary life." He stressed that Hardigan cooperated with authorities and returned the money.
"I cannot put this man at his age in a correctional facility, given the facts of the case and the full restitution," Cavedo said, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. "He would be the oldest person I ever locked up."
Hardigan apologized to his family in court and said he had acted with "abject stupidity," the Times-Dispatch reported.
According to Sarasota County property records, Hardigan bought a newly constructed home in Venetian Golf & River Club in 2004.

BlackBerry dominates the North American smartphone market, enjoying almost 40 per cent market share. A 20 per cent worldwide market share isn't exactly a bad thing, too. The total subscriber base for the BlackBerry platform is more than 50 million users.
Today, we are proud to present world's first tool to facilitate forensic analysis of BlackBerry devices by enabling access to protected data stored on users' BlackBerries.
One of the reasons of BlackBerry high popularity is its ultimate security. It was the only commercial mobile communication device that was ever allowed to a US president: Barack Obama has won the privilege to keep his prized BlackBerry despite resistance from NSA. (On a similar note, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev was handed an iPhone 4 a day before its official release by no one but Steve Jobs himself. No worries, we crack those, too).

Nomura: Why Property Market Is China's No 1 Risk
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Forget shadow banking, or local government debt, the over-investment problem in the property market is China's number 1 risk, according to Nomura Securities.
This is because China's property market is a main growth driver and is on the real side of the economy (not the monetary side). Here are analysts Zhiwei Zhang, Changchun Hua, and Wendy Chen:
It has become a pillar of growth for China, making up 16% of GDP, 33% of fixed asset investment, 20% of outstanding loans, 26% of new loans, and 39% of government revenues in 2013. If it slows sharply, we see no obvious replacement to support growth.
Any policy reaction to a sharp property market correction may not be effective. The local government debt problem and the shadow banking issue have caught investors" attention, but alone they are unlikely to cause a systemic crisis in 2014, as the government can bail out troubled trust products and roll over debt. If property investment slows sharply, policy easing may not be effective, as fundamentally the sector faces a structural oversupply problem.
And China's property market is over supplied when you compare across countries:
We estimate residential floor space per registered urban resident may have reached 37 square meters by 2013, compared to 35 in Japan and 33 in UK. If the current trend holds, it will reach 51 square meters by 2017. Official data show inventory has risen by 182% from 2009 to 2013, yet land sales suggest that supply is set to rise quickly in coming years.
Why don't we hear about this? The oversupply risks are in the smaller cities, not in Shanghai or Beijing, replied Nomura:
According to the China Index Academy"s 100-city survey, property prices in all first-tier cities have risen persistently on a month-on-month basis in each month since July 2012, but in January 2014, prices dropped in 29% of second-tier and 43% of third- and fourth tier cities.
From a macro perspective, first- and second-tier cities are much less important than the other cities. The four first-tier cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen) accounted for only 5% of housing under construction and sales (both in square meter terms) and 8% of housing investment in 2013 (in RMB terms). The 24 second-tier cities3 (mostly provincial capitals) only accounted for 28% of housing under construction, 27% of housing sales and 35% of housing investment. The remainder, a large number of third- and fourth-tier cities, comprised 67% of housing under construction, 69% of sales and 57% of housing investment.
At 11.50AM Eastern time, the iShares China Large Cap ETF (FXI) gained 0.3%, the iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI) lost 0.05%. Chinese online real estate portal SouFun (SFUN) was down 1.5%.

About Trelly
When he withdrew the money his records may show it was valued as less than what the bank claimed. After all, that's what the banks say when the clean out the wrong house during a foreclosure.
Not only that, but if they made him a manager (or CEO) as claimed then there would be a paper trail of some sort. Certainly some email or letters, contracts.
But, no pay, no paper, no communications, website filings using an address Cooper claims he never heard of in a state he has never been to.
And, he was discussing it with his father-in-law (a retired sheriff) since the start, according to his sworn testimony. He stated that they were waiting on hearing something further before taking it to the police. That is from page 25 of the transcript at:
http://ia601508.us.archive.org/28/items/gov.uscourts.cacd.543744/gov.uscourts.cacd.543744.93.0. pdf
"There's not a case where we have not prevailed," insisted Duffy
The context of that is regarding the identity theft of Alan Cooper. I thought Judge Wright did rule on that and found that Cooper's signature was forged, he had sworn testimony to that effect.
That is more than not having prevailed in proof, it is now a finding of fact.
"None of us are interested ...", yet they post endlessly and immediately.
Hate to point out the obvious, but the traffic YOU bring is what keeps things alive.
Bored? Irritated? Whatever, solutions exist for you.
I will just point out the utterly obvious, that you attack the person at every turn, rather than the argument. Epic failure is yours to claim, you have proven yourself worthy.
Now, if only Steele was this punctual.
Or, even more accurately, what makes us believe they will even care if it is renewed? Just a few more laws to be in violation of.
If your audience is not able to comprehend your thorough instructions, perhaps consider releasing your intellectual property as a pop-up book.
How long until she files patents on her ideas and sues people for $3,400 in reverse-class-action suits? After all, her invention of using a long fork for roasting a marshmallow on an open fire (closed fires are owned by NSA). She could name them SaltmarshMallows.
They will probably argue that because copyright is more profitable, ever stronger copyrights mean ever increasing profits and therefore are good "for everyone".
Nothing a quick trip to the vet can't resolve.
Are you saying we can file a motion to have Mr. Steele fixed?
It's a bit weird that he can register bunches of websites, file doc's with the various courts across the country, talk to his buddies who certainly know how to do basic computery-type stuff, and publicly talk about his most awesome copyright tracking software that they built in-house ...
but can't master the complexity or cost of free email.

The best way to end the trolling is to agree with them, since they come to create a fuss and thrive on the results.
The troll is right, but doesn't even know he is agreeing with us in that.
The problem is sometimes the troll threads have a valid point, in this case where they are complaining about beating a dead horse.
The problem the troll has is they are shooting the messenger, rather than properly identifying that the horse is being beaten well past many lifetimes by the absurd court filings.
It's the absurd court filings which draw the crowd. Had Prenda simply left the building early on and not drag things out, there is no story to report on.
Something to do with his employer law firm being upset that he was working with the client regarding fees and collection and eventually he was working for them directly or some such thing. As I recall the law firm didn't get paid and lost a client, something like that.
The original comment is indeed most relevant, but only because Paul Duffy didn't get his memo about beating this old horse.
Maybe the appeal itself should have been properly considered, but since they deemed it important enough to bog down our court systems at the district court and appeals levels it probably is ok to waste a bit more on blogs and comments as well.
How soon until they announce a merger? What would it be called?
They already have an address, One MSA Way.
Is this NSA version 1.0 or 2.0?
Ohhh, the laughs go on and on. If all this were at all funny.
Darn it, I was just planning on a vacation to Florida so I could sit in my hotel room and play Solitaire.
Did they shut down the World of Warcraft access to Florida yet? How about Wifi, which offers a random chance at downloading things of value or entertainment, and which are by necessity part of a network?
Heck, any computer used to purchase a flight to Florida is a gamble, since you don't know until you show up at the gate if you are on the no-fly list.
... that the two infected computers were on the list of 146 components that were smashed.
The only thing that could make the story better is if the original 2 infected computers still remain operational and unmolested by re-imaging.
What we need to do is burn everything EXCEPT the internet.

I don't know if the v5e made it into any printers but some of them can be had for £50-100 on ebay and the cpu could be extracted. BGA mounted ?
[edit] It looks like the v5e was in several HP printers at 540MHz.
Anyone brave enough to put one in a Firebee of evaluation board to find out if it works ?

All industries contracted during the recession, but few shrank as dramatically as architecture. Between 2008 and 2011, gross revenue at architecture firms fell from over $44 billion to $26 billion. More than 28 percent of positions disappeared.
These are some of the startling revelations to be found inside the American Institute of Architects 2012 Firm Survey, released this week. The survey compiles data from several thousand architecture firms, and its most intriguing conclusion turns out not to be that the industry has contracted, but rather how it's adapted, and what that means for the rest of us.
Architecture is dependent on construction, which is notoriously cyclical – usually three or four times more volatile than the market, says Kermit Baker, the AIA's chief economist and a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. "It's been devastating," he says. "Construction activity has been down 50 or 60 percent – architecture has a long tradition of trying to survive the construction cycle, and it's extremely challenging because architecture firms are by and large small- and medium-size firms."
How fragile is the architecture profession? Only ten percent of architecture firms today were around in 1970, and the percentage of firms with fewer than five employees has risen from 51 percent to 60 percent. Nearly one-fourth of architectural firms are sole practitioners.
But the highly competitive market has also encouraged innovation. The percentage of architectural firms that employ LEED-accredited professionals has doubled since 2008, from one-third of all firms to two-thirds. Baker, who helped prepare the report, says sustainable design is a way for firms to distinguish themselves in a crowded field. But it also demonstrates a larger, permanent shift toward environmental awareness.
Most of the changes reflected in another AIA report, the Home Design Trends survey, released Thursday, prove that sustainable architecture is popular not just on blogs but in buildings. Demand for energy efficiency continues go up across the board. Home theaters, on the other hand, seem to be less trendy.
Particularly in small practices, architecture firms are expanding their range, fostering talents in interior design, construction, or environmental planning. Again, this multidisciplinary shift reflects a desire to compete in a crowded market, but it also speaks to a larger trend toward "one-stop-shop" firms where clients can find everything they need. Progressives have been advocating closer contact between design professionals for ages, and the recession has made it pay off.
And this shift toward the multidisciplinary could also be true in related professions. The decline in payroll employees at architectural firms was about 20 percent, but about half of those were lost from the architecture staff, which typically makes up much less than half of an architecture firm. Where are all the out-of-work architects going? Possibly to jobs in real estate and city government. And that could be good news for everyone.

The short-term rental market is reeling from the coronavirus-driven tourism collapse. Can the industry's dominant player stage a comeback after lockdowns lift?
Renters in apartments and houses share more than just germs with their roommates: Life under coronavirus lockdown means negotiating new social rules.
Because of coronavirus, millions of tenants won't be able to write rent checks. But calls for a rent holiday often ignore the longer-term economic effects.
Some renters and homeowners are getting financial assistance during the economic disruption from the coronavirus pandemic. What about landlords?
What do we know so far about the types of places that are more susceptible to the spread of Covid-19? In the U.S., density is just the beginning of the story.

I only have ~140 gallons of fresh water onboard when I leave the dock, not counting the hot water heater. I have run out of water while anchored over a long weekend and even when the dock's water lines were down on occasion.
This has me thinking about ripping out my holding tank and installing a fresh water purfication system on the boat to ensure I'm never without fresh water again.
Does anyone have one of these systems onboard? Please tell me about your make / model and your experience with it. What's the operating costs of these systems?
I've looked at The Water Fixer, which is a site sponsor, but they have no installed pictures of the system anywhere on their site. I'm not sure of the clearances and if my boat affords them. What's more, the maintenance costs look pretty costly! The filters don't bother me too much, but replacing the light every 2 years will run $300!

From the guys who brought you "Mario Party Down", the excellent Mario Party drinking game (with some bonus Party Down references) comes "Rayman OriGin and Tonics."
Yep. It's all gin, all the time. The game leverages the abusive nature of Rayman Origins' co-op gameplay to get you as drunk as possible. Take four drinks of a G&T if you win? Wow. Something about this video, particularly the fact that they're just straight up mixing gin and tonic water in huge glasses without even ice or lime just makes it all look fairly wretched.
But, if you were playing the game (and playing Rayman Origins with your friends, I have a feeling that after about twenty minutes you wouldn't really care how wretched you were being.

Latifa Middleton and Gamila Binnie,
standing next to the cannon Mons Meg,
Edinburgh Castle, Scotland, June-July 1932
Image © and courtesy of the extended Binnie family
When I asked them if they wanted to see a photograph of her, their eyes took on that "what-ev-a" expression so familiar to me when the topic of family history is raised, and the conversation moved on. However, a photograph of sisters Latifa and Gamila is particularly appropriate to display this week. Latifa's youngest daughter Madeleine and her husband Bill have just made their first, long planned "pilgrimage" (from California) to the country (and village) where Latifa and Gamila were born and grew up.
Courtesy of Find My Past's recent World Cup Widows temporary free access offer (presumably widowers and sundry atheists allowed too), I was able to discover more about the visits that my wife Gill's grandmother, Latifa and their sister Farida made to the United Kingdom in the 1920s and 1930s. The passenger lists that I've found give details of the family's inter-continental movements, providing a solid framework on which to arrange the anecdotal stories which have been handed down. I've written about this over at my other blog La Diaspora Continua.
According to the notes that I made from discussions with Gill's Aunt Maud when I scanned her collection of old photographs in 1998, the photograph was taken in Edinburgh in 1933. Maud's mother was then heavily pregnant with her fifth and last child John, who sadly died at the age of only two. Using the passenger lists mentioned earlier, I've been able to correct that date a little, and narrow the trip down to a six week period in June and July 1932.

Having visited Edinburgh Castle with my sister on a rather dreary day in August 1987, I vaguely recall seeing cannons, but can't remember any details. However, Peter Stubbs on his excellent EdinPhoto web site has a Mons Meg page with several images of this particular enormous example reproduced from postcards from soon after the turn of the century, and a slightly older engraving (reproduced above).

More recent photographs, of which there are hundreds on Google images, show Mons Meg mounted on a very different wood and metal carriage, which is believed to approximate the original carriage construction. It appears that the mounting was changed some time between Latifa and Gamila's visit in the summer of 1932 and another snapshot of some children sitting on the cannon taken c. 1945.

Photographs of such pilgrimages play an important part in the establishment of links between us and the lands of our forebears, as well as in the maintenance of contact with distant cousins. Sometimes they are the only tangible references that we have to pass on to our descendants. When we visited Lebanon in 1997 we took hundreds of photos, and I'm sure that Madeleine and Bill will share some of theirs too, in due course. I hope they will be appreciated by those generations to come, and will perhaps encourage our descendants to learn about the lands that shaped their ancestors, perhaps even to make their own pilgrimages.
I intend to discuss this aspect of photographs in our family collections in due course, and how they may be combined with other documentation to provide a better sense of connection with one's ancestors. I will also be illustrating several examples from my own family collection over at La Diaspora Continua.

John Metcalfe
John Metcalfe was CityLab's Bay Area bureau chief, covering climate change and the science of cities.
For the residents of Portland, Ore., taking a whiz in a public toilet is not just a matter of necessity. It's an act of civic pride.
That's because the city is home to the Portland Loo, a unique, patented outdoor bathroom that inspires such worship in its fanbase you'd think that Steve Jobs himself had designed it. This adoration comes despite the fact that the 24-hour loo was built to be as inhospitable as possible. This toilet does not want to be loved, but in Portland, it is No. 1 (and, presumably, sometimes No. 2 as well).
The soulless receptacle for bodily waste has its own blog, Twitter account and Facebook page. When a loo hater set one ablaze last June, Facebook denizens flocked to its defense. "The Portland Loos rock! What other city can boast public restrooms that are fire proof. ;)" wrote Laura Mears, while Charlie Clint chimed in with, "I'm always sending someone to use one of these – and it's great to hear how sturdy they are! (woo hoo)."
A Yelp review of a new loo at Jamison Square, titled "Epic win!," is flush with love. "I plan on dropping a mean deuce in that thing ASAP," wrote Andrew C.
On Jan. 31, Portland officials will christen the city's fifth loo, at NW Couch St. and 8th Ave., with an inaugural flush. With inspirational artwork furnished by students at the nearby Emerson elementary school, it could be the most popular yet. But how did these sleek compartments of metal and plastic, which may smell slightly of urine, become a cult hit among Portland's bathroom aficionados?
Simple: They're not as crappy as other cities' toilets.
Take, for instance, San Francisco's self-cleaning outdoor bathrooms. They've been plagued with maintenance problems since they were installed in 1995. Some don't work and others have odors that are rumored to rival that of a week-dead buffalo.
Then there's Seattle's disastrous deployment of automatic lavatories. The city would have been better feeding the $5 million it paid for them down the swirling gullet of a Starbucks commode. The design of the john allowed anybody to lock the door and turn it into their own private fiefdom.
With trash piling up on the floor, the self-cleaning mechanisms became useless. By the end of their run, in 2008, even drug addicts had stopped using Seattle's toilets. They eventually wound up at bargain-level prices on eBay.
When Portland's pols decided to try their own sidewalk-restroom experiment, they first surveyed the smoking rubble of the West Coast's other outhouses and took careful note.
"We really looked at Seattle as what not to do," says Anna DiBenedetto, a staff assistant to city commissioner Randy Leonard, the spiritual godfather of the Portland Loo. "We think it was the design that was the fatal flaw. Trying to be comfortable and private makes people feel more empowered to do the illegal activities that people do in public toilets."
So in 2006, Commissioner Leonard convened an ultra-elite Loo Squad, featuring ace toilet designer Curtis Banger, to create the perfect privy of the people. The group worked nonstop – although probably not while on the can, as perfect as that would be – to forge an interior design that would make tinklers want to get out of there as fast as humanly possible.
Two years later, their hard work paid off in the world's first Portland Loo, located in the Old Town-Chinatown neighborhood. Despite its location right next to a Greyhound Bus Station, it remains standing to this day:
Image via Google Maps
The toilet's durability can be chalked up to its defense-first design. "I think one thing we have ahead of other toilet designs is that we've learned people like to do nefarious things" to public lavatories, says DiBenedetto. So the Portland Loo includes a variety of bells and whistles meant to keep in check the most degenerate of bathroom users:
• No running water inside: "Some people, if they're homeless, use a sink to wash their laundry," says DiBenedetto. So there's no sink, just a spigot on the outside that pours cold water.
• No mirror: People tend to smash mirrors. Perhaps even more frequently if there's no running water within reach.
• Bars at the top and bottom of the structure: It may make the water closet look like a cage for a gorilla, but these apertures have critical importance. Cops can peep in near the ground to make sure there's no more than one set of feet inside. The openings also help sound flow freely, letting pedestrians hear the grunts and splashes of the person inside and the person inside hear the footsteps and conversation of pedestrians. Nobody wants to stick around such a toilet for long.
• A graffiti-proof coating: No one will be tagging this latrine.
• Walls and doors made from heavy-gauge stainless steel: "It's built with the idea that somebody could take a bat to it," DiBenedetto says. "And if they did damage it, we could replace that part."
So far, the most popular activity for malcontents is jamming the flush button, perhaps using some sort of special tool.
These PSYOP-worthy features are outlined in U.S. Patent No. D622,408 S, which Leonard received in the summer of 2010. The toilet has the dubious honor of being the city of Portland's first patent.
For the first loo, the city paid an estimated $140,000. The price of subsequent ones has gone down to about $90,000*, with an annual maintenance fee of $12,000 per commode. Portland recently sold one of its loos to Victoria in British Columbia for just under $100,000. It hopes to vend more when the economy recovers.
The prospect of Portland Loos appearing on street corners all across America is exciting to DiBenedetto, who's not just a city-paid promoter of the throne, but a happy user, too.
"Whenever I have friends in the car and we pass by one, it's like, 'There's the loo!'" she says. "It's cold and really strange inside, and there's a sense of, 'Wow, I'm really close to the sidewalk and people can hear me peeing,' but it's really cool."
For readers who must know more about this miraculous potty, here's the preliminary patent application:

* Correction: A city staffer originally gave an incorrect cost of $60,000.
Renters in apartments and houses share more than just germs with their roommates: Life under coronavirus lockdown means negotiating new social rules.
Some renters and homeowners are getting financial assistance during the economic disruption from the coronavirus pandemic. What about landlords?
Because of coronavirus, millions of tenants won't be able to write rent checks. But calls for a rent holiday often ignore the longer-term economic effects.
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.
Will COVID-19 change how cities are designed? Michele Acuto of the Connected Cities Lab talks about density, urbanization and pandemic preparation.

I work in an office with lots of young moms. Well three, but in a law firm, that qualifies as lots. At least once a week, we run in to each other at the microwave and commiserate over teething babies, mom jeans, and meals. Or really, lack of meals. Someone mentions how she fed her baby grapes and tofu for dinner last night. Someone else chimes in that their family ate take-out sushi for the third night in a row. And I confess that we have perfected our "recipe" for baking the perfect frozen pizza. And we all feel bad.
I don't know what it is about momhood that causes us to constantly feel bad and doubt our choices. Am I working too much? Am I not working enough? Am I too involved in my child's life? Not involved enough? Why do we have so much dirty laundry? Good god, why am I always stepping on Legos when I'm barely awake and trying to get my morning coffee on?
And in the middle of this feel-bad-fest, one of the girls looks down at my lunch bowl and comments, "I don't know how you do it." Do what? Look like a sleep-deprived gremlin? That's courtesy of little man who is STILL waking up at 3 a.m. Oh, you mean how I rock these coal-miner nails? Yup, haven't had a manicure in over a year. Ah, perhaps you were referring to my poofy hair which moves on up and out at the first sign of moisture in the air. Oh, you mean, my lunch. Why am I eating a real meal that is relatively healthy and tastes pretty fantastic and not a frozen dinner that was made in 1984 or a plastic container of odd-looking greens some of which are purple because all of a sudden, it's trendy to eat purple colored salad leaves?
Because, I really really like lunch. It's those few minutes of quiet in the middle of the day that allow me to get through it without pulling out what's left of my poofy hair. Heck, lunch is the raison d'etre of this very blog. I don't have all the answers to momhood, but I know that I like eating well. It makes me happier when my belly is full of real food. I work better when I nuke my tasty leftovers and bring them back to my desk.
Take this Mexican Fried Rice. Yes, it is basically doctored up Spanish rice. But on a Wednesday night, when you're staring into a fridge that holds a container of two day old white rice and not much else, this recipe (if you can even call it that) is pretty much a lifesaver. Grab that old rice. Oh lookie here, some leftover chicken breast. Take that too. Open up your veggie drawer and take out any forgotten veggies. Peppers, mushrooms, spinach, yup all of those things work. Rough week and nothing in the veggie drawer? Grab a bag of frozen corn from the freezer. Next, find a can of tomato sauce in your pantry. Oh look, a can of black beans. Take that, too. Heat up some oil in a giant skillet. Cook up your Mexican Fried Rice with sass!
Make extra so you have some for tomorrow's lunch. Oh, and don't let anyone eat the portion earmarked as your lunch leftovers (I'm looking at you, hubster! Eating my rice straight outta the pan!). It's tough being a working mom. So I'm going to cut myself some slack. And get another bowl of Mexican Fried Rice.
3 cups cooked rice
2 tbs. tomato paste or 1/4 cup crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
1 can black beans, drained
Assorted diced veggies (red or green pepper, mushrooms, carrots, corn) and/or cooked chicken
1/2 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsps. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. cayenne
Salt and pepper
Heat oil in skillet and cook onions until translucent. Add garlic and cook for a few minutes until fragrant. Add veggies and cook until soft (you may need to add a bit of water and lengthen the cooking time if you're cooking harder veggies like carrots).
Once all of the veggies are soft, add the tomato product, spices, and cooked chicken (if you're using chicken). If you're using tomato paste, you'll need to add 1/4 cup of water and mix to create a loose paste. If you're using crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce, you will need to add only a few drops of water.
Add the rice and mix thoroughly to ensure the rice is coated with the tomato and veggie mixture. Spread the rice in the pan and turn the heat on high. Do not keep stirring. Once the rice on the bottom is crispy, add a bit more oil to the pan and stir so the rice on the top is now on the bottom. Stop stirring so the rice can get crispy. Garnish with cilantro if you have it. Throw on some cheese. Heck, add some sour cream. And celebrate Wednesday.

Marlins falls short in 6-5 loss to Rockies
MIAMI (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton made it interesting for Miami.
Stanton homered once, and nearly hit another in the ninth, but the Marlins' rally fell short in a 6-5 loss Wednesday night to the Colorado Rockies.
"I was just happy we kept ourselves in the game and made a run at it," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said.
Stanton stepped to the plate with two on and two out in the ninth against closer LaTroy Hawkins, who allowed a lead-off single to Adeiny Hechavarria and walked Derek Dietrich.
"You never want to see him walking to the plate to win the game, he's a dangerous hitter, it's well-documented," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "It was very uncomfortable with Stanton at the plate."
Stanton almost ended the game when he hit a long foul ball down the left-field line.
"(The pitch) was in so I wasn't worried that it was going to be fair," Rockies catcher Jordan Pacheco said. "I've heard that sound before, I heard it a couple innings prior to that, but it worked out for us."
Stanton said: "I should have got it a little deeper. It landed a lot further (foul) than when it went past the pole. It was pretty close."
Two pitches later Stanton delivered an RBI single, pulling Miami within a run.
Garrett Jones popped out to third base to end the game, with Hawkins earning the save.
"Hawk grinded through the inning and got it done," Weiss said.
Although the Marlins came up short, it was a positive sign for a team that won 62 games last year.
"That's the difference from last year," Stanton said. "That happened frequently, a sense of looking to tomorrow, we already lost. It's good to keep going every game to the last out."
Pacheco had three hits as the Rockies held on for their first win. Charlie Blackmon and Michael Cuddyer each had two hits for Colorado.
"I think we were saving them," Pacheco said of the hits. "We faced two tough guys (Jose Fernandez and Nathan Eovaldi) at the beginning of the series and it's bound to happen with this lineup. We have a bunch of guys who can hit."
Rockies two-time All-Star outfielder Carlos Gonzalez left the game in the bottom of the sixth inning as a precaution due to dizziness, which began during the game without a particular incident.
"He's OK, he wasn't feeling too good and was a little dizzy," Weiss said. "I think he's fine, but he wasn't feeling too good."
Jordan Lyles (1-0) won his debut with the Rockies after being acquired in an offseason trade with the Houston Astros for Dexter Fowler. Lyles allowed four runs and five hits in five innings while striking out five and walking one.
"It was stressful, Hawk got his work in tonight, but our first win maybe we can get it going tomorrow and have a good homestand," Lyles said. "Hopefully we're heading in the right direction and put those first two games behind us."
Colorado led 6-1 heading into the sixth inning before Stanton cut the deficit to 6-3 with a two-run home run to right field off Lyles.
"Everyone knows not to go away, I wanted to show him away one time and I shouldn't have," Lyles said. "He's a strong guy."
Reliever Adam Ottovino's wild pitch brought Miami within 6-4 later in the sixth.
Henderson Alvarez (0-1), who pitched a no-hitter in his final start in 2013 against the Detroit Tigers, allowed five consecutive hits in the first inning, including an RBI double by Gonzalez and run-scoring singles by Justin Morneau and Pacheco.
The Rockies stretched their lead to 6-1 in the fourth, sparked by two errors and a wild pitch by Alvarez, which scored a run.
Kevin Slowey relieved Alvarez and immediately walked in a run. Cuddyer also drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.
"We gave them some extra outs and that probably was the difference in the game," Redmond said.
Alvarez allowed six runs_three earned_and seven hits in three innings.
"What got me in trouble was leaving the ball up," Alvarez said.
Slowey struck out five in four scoreless innings.
NOTES: Gold Glove Award winner Nolan Arenado flashed his ability at third base in the fifth inning when he barehanded a slow-roller and threw out Hechavarria at first base. . Miami's first replay challenge of the season was upheld when Redmond challenged a play at second base in the top of the fourth. . Marlins 3B Ed Lucas had left hand surgery on Wednesday and is expected to be out four to six weeks. . Miami RHP Jacob Turner will face Colorado LHP Franklin Morales on Thursday in the series finale.

SAN FRANCISCO: Microsoft on Thursday unveiled ads for its popular Xbox Live online entertainment service that combine the interactivity of the Internet with old-school television viewing.
The technology colossus behind Xbox 360 videogame consoles said that Toyota, Unilever, and Samsung Mobile USA are developing campaigns tailored for "NUads" that will be rolled out at Xbox Live in three months or so.
"NUads marks the beginning of a new era for TV advertising," said Xbox Live entertainment and advertising general manager Ross Honey. "It delivers the one thing traditional TV advertising is missing – engagement."
Viewers of NUads can provide feedback, such as taking surveys or answering questions, using button-and-toggle controllers or motion or voice control capabilities of Kinect accessories for Xbox 360 consoles. Advertisers get the potentially insightful data, plus generalized demographic information about respondents.
"We developed NUads to breathe new life into the standard 30-second spot," Honey said. "With NUads, brands can get real-time feedback from audiences, making TV advertising actionable for the first time."
Microsoft expected to charge premium prices for the Internet age television ads. Global revenue from television advertising this year will top $187 billion and climb in the years ahead, according to market trackers.
Microsoft this month stepped up its quest to be at the heart of home entertainment by syncing Xbox 360 consoles to smartphones and tablets while adding more blockbuster content. Microsoft unveiled Xbox SmartGlass software for linking the world's leading consoles to iPhones, iPads, Android-powered gadgets and, of course, devices powered by the firm's new Windows 8 operating system.
SmartGlass capitalizes on the growing popularity of using Xbox Live to stream movies, music and other entertainment from the Internet. The application lets people start watching a film on a tablet and then easily switch to home television screens without breaking continuity, a demonstration showed.
After a film routes to a television, the tablet automatically begins displaying supplementary information about actors or other topics related to the movie being watched.

Dateline 22 Jul 2013 — FamilySearch.Org New Database
FamilySearch.Org has some new databases (don't they always — they are amazing). One in particular caught this jester's eyes.
United States, National Register of Scientific and Technical Personnel Files, 1954-1970,
By training and long years in the field, Stanczyk is a STEM worker. So I was drawn to this database. But who did I know had a degree and was a professional in 1954-1970 ? How about one of my favorite authors … in a register of Science / Technical professional? Well, yes — if you thought of Isaac Asimov .
So what data is in this database …
If click on the FamilySearch.org link, then query on Isaac Asimov, you will see:

CANBERRA, Australia — A 3-year-old Australian boy was lucky to escape unharmed after a collection of nine eggs he found in his yard hatched into a slithering tangle of deadly snakes.
Reptile expert Trish Prendergast says young wildlife enthusiast Kyle Cummings could have been killed if he had handled the eastern brown snakes — the world's most venomous species on land after Australia's inland taipan.
She said Friday that Kyle found the eggs a few weeks ago at his home in Queensland state. He had no idea what kind of eggs they were.
He put the eggs into a food container and stashed them in his closet, where his mother found them Monday. Seven of the eggs had hatched, but the snakes remained trapped in the container.
Prendergast released the snakes into the wild.

Simple Nest Studios
I am a young photographer looking to take my business to the next level as I graduate from college this coming May. I have experienced a tremendous increase in demand over the past few months for my photography, which made it clear that I needed to make my business official. My photos offer a young, fresh yet eloquent take of everyday life by capturing life in its most natural form.
My target audience is typically (primarily) women and men 18-50 years old. I currently offer portrait work including newborns, children, teens, engagement and wedding photos and much more. In the future I would like to expand my company and offer graphic design and other elements, so this logo needs to work with several different directions.
I would love to incorporate a birds nest in my logo somehow. I love the classy, vintage look of http://www.anthropologie.com and http://www.freepeople.com. I will be placing the logo on all my images as a watermark, so keep that in mind while designing.
The logo should have a clean, sophisticated and professional look using the company name "Simple Nest Studios."
Color and type is completely up to the designer, just keep in mind the websites I mentioned for possible inspiration in that area. I typically find myself attracted to cursive/script-like fonts, but please feel free to explore different options.
I will need the logo in a vector format (ai) and also in psd format, but other formats are welcomed too.
Thank you for your time, I look forward to finding a brilliant design!

A Sandwich a Day: Meatloaf Sandwich at Fatted Calf in San Francisco
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
In this great country of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Marcella Hazan's husband nicknamed her "mangia panini" because of her habit of putting everything and anything between two slices of bread. One look at the Meatloaf Sandwich ($9.50) from Fatted Calf and I thought of Ms. Hazan, and knew this was her type of sandwich.
To be clear, this isn't a deconstructed meatloaf-like patty between two slices of bread. It's an actual slice of meatloaf. The meatloaf is delicious, as one taste of any other meat product at Fatted Calf could have supported. Made from a combination of ground beef, pork, and bacon that's been cured in-house, the loaf is well seasoned with herbs, onions, and carrots.
Since I'm not Ms. Hazan and I don't like sticking things between two slices of bread just for the heck of it, I wondered: Would I rather just eat this loaf plain? A few bites told me that, no, the loaf is elevated by the condiments around it.
There's a heavy smear of grainy dijon mustard and an ample layer of extra vinegary pickled onions. The double hit of acid brings out the best flavors of the meatloaf and provides a contrast to any fattiness. Overall, this sandwich has more flavor than a typical meatloaf, while still providing that classic, belly-filling comfort.

Started out with some bread...it wasn't memorable enough for me to even recall if I liked it or not.
I always like their salads - and there was no cheese! They have those sesame stick things on them - that's really the best part. And yes - ranch please!
I got the fried chicken ($15.95) and her onion ring. The onion ring wasn't good - it was bland and soggy. The fried chicken - well it was a mixed bag. The dark meat was really great and juicy. I should have stopped there. The breast was dry as a board! I like their fried chicken but there wasn't much flavor to the breading. I had some Lee's a few weeks back and that stuff was SPICY! Comparatively - this is very very bland - but they do cater to the old folks...so I'm guessing that's why. I guess I'd like to find some with a little seasoning.
Anybody have good fried chicken recommendations?
Anybody have good fried chicken recommendations?
Why Should You Go? If you're over 65, you'll love it! I'm kidding. If you like bland food - or have a big family dinner you're trying to plan - it's a good spot. It's homey and the wait staff is good. I think the prices are a bit high but it's a perennial favorite of NKY folks...

AP Environmental Writer
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — A member of Congress from Michigan wants federal officials to take another look at the longstanding policy of allowing millions of gallons of water to flow out of Lake Michigan daily at Chicago.
All the Great Lakes are below their long-term averages, and Lakes Michigan and Huron are edging toward record lows. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says the biggest reasons are the recent lack of rain and snow in the region, plus warmer temperatures that boost evaporation rates.
But on Thursday, Rep. Candice Miller asked Army Secretary Jo-Ellen Darcy for a review of how the loss of water at Chicago might be affecting lake levels.
Water has been diverted from Lake Michigan since construction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal more than a century ago.

Harrison's heroics get Pirates' bats going in win
Pinch-hitter's two-run homer in seventh breaks tie, opens floodgates
PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates' latest reclamation project, right-hander Edinson Volquez, had another solid outing and pinch-hitter Josh Harrison delivered a two-run seventh-inning home run to lift the Bucs to an 11-2 win over the Brewers.
Harrison hit his third career pinch-hit home run off Brewers reliever Rob Wooten, plating Jordy Mercer who had singled. Wooten suffered the loss, falling to 0-1 on the season. The Pirates added another run in the inning as Starling Marte scampered home on a fielder's choice.
"Funny how the game works out. I've seen it happen on other teams as the manager, you know guys are trying, he didn't get it down, alright lets move on," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "It didn't happen, let's swing away and see what you can make happen. The guy threw him a breaking ball over the plate and he put a real nice swing on it."
"They say baseball is a game of adjustments, and I was presented with the opportunity to bunt and didn't get it down, but you can't let that affect you," Harrison stated. "The at-bat wasn't over and I was just trying to do anything I could to keep my at-bat alive. He threw me a pitch and I put a good swing on it and it found the stands."
"That's by far the most disappointed I've been in myself in my professional career, at any level," Wooten said. "Not only the hits, just mentally -- I don't really have words to describe it right now. It's pretty embarrassing."
The win snapped a two-game losing skid for the Pirates.
Volquez tossed seven innings -- his longest outing of the season -- and allowed two runs on eight hits. He threw 77 pitches, 53 were strikes, and notched his first win of the year. Volquez is now 23-8 against the NL Central division since it was formed in 1994.
"It feels good, first 'W' in a Pittsburgh Pirates uniform," Volquez said. "It's a great feeling, it's a great ballgame and we scored some runs today. It was good to keep all my pitches down, not many pitches wasted."
"I think the most impressive number tonight is he retired 20 hitters on three pitches or less." Hurdle said of Volquez. "Each one of the starts we've seen him the pitch count has been in a very efficient place. Only one three ball count on the evening. Again, first pitch strikes 16 out of 28, he comes right at you and he's going to make something happen."
Brewers right-hander Yovani Gallardo countered with six strong innings. He surrendered two runs on three hits and four walks with six strikeouts. Gallardo had a high pitch count, with 114 pitches during his stint.
"It was one thing we did extremely well," Hurdle said. "He competes and is efficient with his pitches, and we were able to stretch counts out. Didn't chase, took some strikes obviously. Got him to a good place, but we didn't push runs across. You just like when you can push a quality starter out because of his pitch count."
The Brewers jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Carlos Gomez scored on an RBI single by Aramis Ramirez.
The Pirates bounced right back in the bottom of the first inning. Marte walked, and with one out Andrew McCutchen smacked his first home run of the season, giving the Pirates a 2-1 lead.
"I think I was battling myself a little bit more than my past few starts," Gallardo said. "Honestly, just overthrowing. That first hitter of the game, I started off trying to do way too much and I ended up walking the guy. Then the ball was just up to McCutchen. We tried to go down and away and it was right down the middle, thigh-high. Obviously, to a hitter like that, you can't make any mistakes."
Jonathan Lucroy stroked a two-out single, plating Ryan Braun, who had doubled, and tying the score at 2-2 in the top of the third inning.
The Pirates added six insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth inning against former Pirates Minor Leaguer Wei-Chung Wang. Gaby Sanchez hit his third home run of the season, a solo shot. Pinch-hitter Jose Tabata doubled in a run, Russell Martin had an RBI single and Pedro Alvarez nicked the right-hander for a three-run home run, his sixth of the season.
"It was a good ballgame until the seventh inning," Roenicke said. "We didn't do well offensively, and we let it get away from us out there."
Pirates right-handers Mark Melancon and Bryan Morris pitched a scoreless eighth and ninth inning, respectively, to nail down the victory for the Pirates.

I've never really been excited about New Years Eve & all that jazz...but now that I've reflected on how the Lord has blessed us in this past year, I'm pumped to see what He has for us next year.
So with that being said...here are my highlights of 2009! (in somewhat chronological order)
Here we go.
Honeymooning and Skydiving in New Zealand
Night Bike Ride across campus followed with wine & a backyard movie. Definitely one of my favorite nights of college.
(the boys setting up the projector & screen. photo courtesy of Danny Paick)
RPTS/403 breaks. Chic-fil-a, Fitzwilly's, Jason's Deli, Frisbee at Anderson Park & Tree Climbing at Bryson Park with my favorites! Miss you all!
Going to Malaysia.
Turning 22. Not a big number, but spent with the best friends a girl could ask for…it was memorable nonetheless.
Spontaneously dunking my ring from a nalgene (and dumping most of it out).
Chase & I graduating from our beloved Texas A&M University on the same day & ceremony (praise the Lord)
Sadly, the only pictures I have of this are ones my mom printed for me. sorry! :)
Moving to Colorado knowing absolutely no one. Terrifying, but so good for this homebody.
Refurbishing an old, rusty, (and oh, so crappy) purple ugly into a robins egg blue townie with a cup holder and huge baskets!!
Watching the leaves change.
The opening of oh, sweet joy.
Cutting down our own Christmas Tree
Most recent: learning to Cross Country Ski (thanks to the Huckabee's!).
(no pictures of this either, but still awesome.)
When did my life become such an adventure?!
I hope 2009 was as good for you as it was for us. Best wishes for 2010!
