Urban Oil Wells in Los AngelesThings to Do, Travel Tips — By Noah Albert on June 26, 2010 at 6:30 pm
The history of Los Angeles is intertwined with the use and production of gasoline and oil. Everyone thinks of Los Angeles as the ultimate car city, but the city's relationship with petroleum products is far more significant than just consumption. Los Angeles is located directly above huge oil reserves and is home to a lucrative and active oil industry, an industry that prefers to remain largely hidden and unknown.
In 1925, California supplied half of the world's oil and much of it came from pumps in the Southland. To date, around 9 billion barrels of oil have been produced in the Los Angeles area. There are still over 30,000 active wells here pumping around 230 million barrels of oil a year, making Los Angeles County the second most productive oil county in California (Kern County is the number one oil county; and the quality of the oil here in Los Angeles is somewhat low by today's standards). There are 55 known oil fields in the Los Angeles area and 11 of them are located in a very urban context. This setting makes the oil extraction process in Los Angeles unique.
The organization CLUI recently held a Los Angeles oil well tour that has served as my guide for learning about this urban oil industry (this article is also a good reference). I mapped the CLUI tour locations onto this LA oil map so I could easily retrace CLUI's steps with a camera. For this project, I concentrated my efforts on the area between Beverly Hills and Downtown (please note that this survey is by no means inclusive).
Because of the negative public perception of the physical aspects of oil extraction that has existed since the late 60's, these urban pumping stations are camouflaged and hidden. The derricks are placed within golf courses, behind hedges and behind concrete walls. One pumping station (the Cardiff site) is designed to look kind of like a synagogue. The oil infrastructure here comprises a secret landscape that is right in front of us. The photos below are a record of this hidden industry. I have also mixed in some pictures of sites related to the history and presence of petroleum products in Los Angeles.
Venoco Flower Tower (Beverly Hills Oil Field) — W. Olympic Blvd & Heath Ave 90212
This derrick, disguised by a colorful, flowery wrap, is a well-known landmark near Century City. The claim to fame of this site is that it is located on the grounds of the Beverly Hills High School. 30 or 40 wells here pump a total of 150,000 barrels of oil a year. (These urban pumping sites generally have wells that spider-out diagonally, allowing one pumping station to access a spread of underground locations). Venoco has owned this site since 1995.
- Hillcrest Golf Course Wells (Cheviot Hills Oil Field) — W. Pico Blvd & Motor Ave 90064
- The golf course provides convenient cover for the two set of wells that are hidden within the greens. 57,000 barrels a year come out of the 18 wells here.
- ————————————————————————————————————–
Cardiff Tower (Beverly Hills Oil Field) — W. Pico Blvd and S. Doheny Dr. 90035
The Cardiff oil pumping station looks very much like a synagogue tower. This appearance helps the site maintain a low profile in this predominantly Jewish neighborhood (on this portion of W. Pico Blvd you can buy everything kosher, from pizza to chinese food). 40 active wells pump around 260,000 barrels of oil a year here; Breitburn Energy owns this property. (Breitburn is a company that buys up mature wells and uses computer modelling technology to draw more oil from them. They own a number of the sites listed below and are based in downtown Los Angeles, in the old Arco building.)
Beverly Center Pumping Station (Salt Lake Oil Field and San Vicente Oil Field) — W. Beverly Blvd and N. San Vicente 90048
Across the street from Ceder Sinai hospital and tucked neatly against the back of the Beverly Center is a pumping station operated by the PXP (Plains Exploration & Production) company. The 54 wells here supply 500,000 barrels each year. You can see the derrick from the sidewalk behind shipping center and the site is visible from the parking garage across San Vicente. From the actual Beverly Center property, views onto the wells and tanks have been minimized as much as possible. You can get a good look (as seen in the photo above) from one side of the car exit of the parking garage,
Packard Well Site (Beverly Hills Oil Field) — W. Pico and S. Genesee Ave 90019
This station has been disguised to look like a rather plain (and windowless) office building. Back in the 60's, visitors could enter the building to view an educational display and even observe the operations of the pumps. Now the grounds are secured from the public. In 2008, the Packard wells produced 491,000 barrels of oil and 763 million cubic feet of gas. PXP operates 51 wells on site.
Ross Dress for Less (Salt Lake Oil Field) — 6298 West 3rd Street 90036
Actually there is no oil pumping station in Ross Dress for Less. However there once was one across the street near the Hollywood Farmers Market, at a site that is now a parking garage for the Grove. The Ross pictured is notable because in 1985, following drilling for the Red Line subway in the area, large quantities of methane rose to the surface and exploded inside this store. 23 people were hospitalized. Today, evidence has accumulated to the effect that pressurization of the wells at the nearby oil pumping station may very likely be the true cause of this unfortunate event.
La Brea Tar Pits (Salt Lake Oil Field) — Wilshire Blvd and S. Curson Ave 90036
This is another site with no pumps or derricks, but there sure is a lot of tar at hand! The La Brea Tar Pits are a well known attraction, complete with mock pre-historic animals and a nice little museum. The tar lake bubbles as methane gas constantly seeps to the surface. One of the staff here told me that if the main lake catches fire it is a big problem as methane is so hard to extinguish. Take heed smokers, be careful with your cigarette butts! (Photo courtesy of coconut wireless.)
23 St and St. James Wells (Las Cienagas Oil Field) — W. 23rd St and Bonsallo Ave 90007
This land once belonged to the oil tycoon Edward Doheny (he was the inspiration for the novel and movie There Will Be Blood). After Doheney's death, his widow donated the property to the Catholic Church and the church created a small college, Mount St. Mary College, on the site. The centerpiece of the campus is the magnificent Doheny Mansion, which is used for faculty housing. The oil wells located on the campus are now owned by the Allenco company; 8 active wells here produce 16,000 barrels a year.
Petroleum Building — 714 W. Olympic Blvd 90015
Built in 1924, designed by Raymond M. Kennedy of Meyer & Holler, this building was constructed as headquarters for Doheny's oil empire. Right down the street and also from 1924 is the Standard Oil Building (605. W. Olympic 90015). It is hard to remember that in 1925 the United States supplied 70% of the world's oil. Even in the 1950's the U.S. still accounted for more than 50% of global supply (compared to 12% more recently). Oil production, and hence the apparatus and machinery of this industry, was allied with American success and competitiveness on the world stage. Changes of attitude towards the physical machinery of the oil industry started in the late 60's; parallel with a dependency on foreign oil beginning in 1970. The present public opinion of petroleum production infrastructure–with the effects of the BP Gulf oil spill becoming ever more evident–is perhaps at a new low.
14th Place and Hill Street Oil Wells (Los Angeles Downtown Oil Field) — S. Hill St and W. 14th Place 90015
Run by the St. James Oil company, this is the last active well on the smaller L. A. Downtown Oil Field. Not too much oil is pumped here anymore; efforts to increase the flow by pumping pressurized steam into the earth have created seepage problems in the surrounding neighborhood. What is so striking about this place is the location, mere blocks from the downtown skyscrapers.
Echo Park Pool, Site of First Oil Well in Los Angeles (Los Angeles City Oil Field) — Glendale Blvd and Colton St. 90026
Here we go back to where it all started in 1892, when Edward Doheny dug the first oil well in Los Angeles. (There is a good account of this momentous occasion in Doheny's biography, The Dark Side of Fortune). The historic well was located right here at what is now a parking lot for this municipal pool.
Old Pumps (Los Angeles City Oil Field) — Belmont Ave and Rockwood St 90026
Philip McDonald owned this site and lived here, struggling with the earth and the city and presiding over the McDonald Oil Company, a small oil venture with 10 wells. He is recently deceased; his equipment remains on-site for the time-being.
Roybal Learning Center (Los Angeles City Oil Field) — W. 1st and N. Beaudry Ave 90012
Costing 400 million dollars and built over a 15 year time-span, this place (also known as the Belmont Learning Complex) was once the most expensive high school in the United States. One difficulty with the site is the hydrogen sulfide and methane gas emissions from the underground oil field just below. Exacerbating the situation is the fact that this area is full of old wells that date from the early years of oil extraction in Los Angeles, when there was much less oversite of the oil industry. Now gas seeps up through these man-made channels, as well as through natural fissures. This document discusses the risks associated with these emissions; the solution that they worked out involves safeguards such as venting of these gases, as seen in the photo above.
Remember that this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as oil related sites in Los Angeles go! Oil production is a largely invisible but none-the-less ever-present part of life here. Please reference my LA oil map for the location of these additional landmarks:
•The Hammer Museum is located on the ground floor of the headquarters of Occidental Oil, founded in 1920 by Armand hammer and now America's 4th largest oil and gas company.
•In the Baldwin Hills/Stocker area (located above the Inglewood Oil Field), any pretense of hiding the oil infrastructure is abandoned. This extensive oil pumping site holds 430 active wells (run by the PXP company).
•Similarly, in Signal Hill oil production is an obvious part of the landscape, with pumps everywhere. Curley's Cafe is just one famous location with a prominent well outside. Even the Starbucks here has a pump in front!
•The THUMS project in Long Beach involved building 4 artificial islands to house oil wells just offshore. These islands are visible from the Long Beach coast.
•Refineries! North of Long Beach, Interstate 405 passes through a grab-bag of refineries. Nearby Highway 103 travels through such a barren and isolated industrial landscape that it is often used as a backdrop for filming movies.

This is a fascinating behind the scene report on a little remembered historical fact, the oil wells of L.A.
Great article! Thanks!
I know you didn't venture as far south as Torrance, but next to the Del Amo Mall hidden (not so well) inside the small nature preserve, Madrona Marsh, are small oil pumps that I believe are still in use. The preserve was created by the oil company that drilled there for so many years. Great post, and I had no idea there was so much going on.
Stumbled into this site by chance but I'm sure glad I clicked on that link. You definitely answered all the questions I've been dying to answer for some time now. Will definitely come back for more of this. Thank you so much
Own a property on W. 56 th. St. Los Angeles that had an oil lease on it in 1964 trying to determine if
the status of any oil production activity . I ' ve owned the property for twenty years have nerver been
contacted by any oil co. Would like to know how to research this.

My last day in France… oh, I wish I was still there! And I lost two pounds over the last week too. So something has gone right. Just need to take my measurements and see if those size 12 jeans are any closer. Anyway, enough babbling. What did I actually eat on my last day?
The same again I'm afraid. But that's what breakfast tends to be. The same easy to prep in a rush each day. At least this was only for three days so a change to my normal routine. So, for the last time, I had a continental breakfast of apricots, yogurt, apple compote, bacon and ham. I went through three continental breakfasts without a single pastry! I do not know how that happened yet I don't regret it. SFS is doing crazy things to me!
This was amazing! Oh how I wish I could have steak cooked so perfectly in Britain but we just don't seem to have the same respect for beef. Too scared most likely! And with it I had frites, salad and pepper sauce. Move over mayo, cheese, curry and gravy! Pepper sauce is the thing to have with frites. Oh it was good! Mmmmmm, wish I was still there. It might not have been low fat or dairy but definitely sugar free so I'm counting it as a winning meal on SFS.
I do not know how I did this, but from lunch till we arrived back in France I only had a cup of camomile tea without feeling too hungry. We then hit London running and by 7pm we were in Waterloo and looking for dinner. We ended up choosing Micasa as it had corn nachos, making wheat less of an issue for Mum, and I had pork, salsa, sour cream and salad on mine. Mmmmmm, tasty and it totally filled a hole along with another bottle of water.
So my final day in France has been and gone. I survived without pastries, sweets, chocolate or sugar though my salt intake has rocketed. Back to clean eating now. Looking forward to seeing what the next week has in store.

Someone at Donald Trump's rally in Austin on Tuesday decided to have a little fun with the Wi-Fi networks.
PHOTOS: Donald Trump visits Austin
Among the many Wi-Fi signals that popped as available for connection during the Republican presidential candidate's rally at the Travis County Exposition Center, one stood out: an unsecured network titled "Clinton Email Server."
The joke is a stab at the ongoing email controversy surrounding Hillary Clinton. Rally attendees quickly took notice and began sharing the posts around social media — even Donald Trump Jr. tweeted about it.
It's unknown who created the Wi-Fi network and Trump's social media director Dan Scavino Jr. said he did not recommend attendees use it.
A few American-Statesman staff members who attended the rally tried their hand at connecting to the unsecured server but either couldn't or said it was too weak.
The mystery lives on, for now.

Take your value proposition from idea to action by following these steps.
Having a detailed, easy-to-understand value proposition that sets you and your practice apart is more important than ever. Because of a renewed focus on the need for objective, independent financial advice, you need a clear, concise explanation of the value you provide to investors. Many advisors will be examining and refining their existing value propositions or developing and implementing one for their practice. How will you stand out from the crowd, now that the entire crowd is looking to do the same?
A strong value proposition showcases who you are, outlines your services and values, and helps you justify your fees. There are four components to incorporate within yours that can make it resonate more with clients:
To make the most of your value proposition, be sure to include all of these elements to fully explain what you do and how you do it. However, including these elements should be purposeful, not just a means of checking the box.
Let's take this sample value proposition:
Founded in 1995, Strategic Financial Services is a boutique financial planning firm that specializes in helping clients develop the financial strategies they need to achieve their life's aspirations.
While it includes all positive information that discusses what the sample firm does for clients, there are several areas where this statement could be enhanced to better connect with investors.
By adding specifics, we can build on the existing value proposition to create one that provides a deeper level of understanding and inspires more confidence in the firm:
Founded in 1995, Strategic Financial Services is a boutique financial planning firm focused on the needs of high-net-worth clients and their families. With a combined 80 years of experience in wealth preservation strategies, the team develops customized, comprehensive financial plans with the goal of helping our clients achieve their financial goals, and ensure their financial security today and for generations to come. We hold ourselves to high standards of transparency and accountability to protect the wealth our clients have worked hard to earn and to demonstrate our commitment to acting in their best interests each and every day.
Take your value proposition from idea to action by following these steps.
Discuss and develop your value proposition: Spend time with your team brainstorming about what differentiates your practice. This exercise will help you take a deep dive into how you operate, who your ideal clients are, and what benefits you can provide them. For inspiration, talk to some of your top clients about your value and gain a deeper understanding of the qualities that keep them working with you.
Practice it: Once everything is finalized, get comfortable articulating your value proposition so you're able to confidently explain your services and benefits without it feeling robotic or rehearsed. You may also want to set some general guidelines around how this language fits into specific parts of your practice. This can include your phone greetings, client review invitations and follow ups, or event planning. Everyone in your office will need to have a level of comfort and sense of ownership with the value proposition you collectively created, so allow enough time for everyone to internalize it and make it their own.
Incorporate it: Start weaving your value proposition language into all of your client and prospect interaction points.
Learn how bringing junior advisors into your practice can benefit your business and the industry as a whole.
Review these white papers and case studies for strategies you can use to more effectively guide your clients and build your practice.

One of the events that small rural communities look forward to each week is when they get their local paper.
When residents of Wabaunsee County, Kansas read the local news, they have Lori L. Daniel – Editor, Owner, Publisher – of the Wabaunsee County Signal-Enterprise to thank.
Lori Daniel first began working at the Wabaunsee County's Signal-Enterprise weekly newspaper in the late 1970's during her junior and senior years in high school. At that time, the paper had been printing for more than 100 years in northeastern Kansas.
Apparently, during her time at the Signal-Enterprise Lori found some 'ink in her veins.'
After high school graduation, Lori continued in the newspaper business spending the next 36 years working for the agriculture newspaper Grass & Grain published by Ag Press. At Ag Press she learned and mastered all the skills of printing and publishing including typesetting copy, building ads and even branching out into advertising sales, final page layout, and design. Lori maintained publishing software for billing, ad pricing, accounting, mailing lists – learning all aspects of the newspaper business.
In 2014 she found her way back to The Wabaunsee County Signal-Enterprise and worked two days each week for then owner Ervan Stuewe. Lori developed her skills as a graphic artist as well as a nice account list of commercial customers.
Over the next year of work at The Signal-Enterprise Lori became interested in doing more at the paper – she wanted to be the owner.
In early 2016 Lori met with Kansas SBDC at Washburn University (WU) advisor Les Streit and Tracy Henry, Director of Wabaunsee Economic Development. Lori already had a local bank interested in helping with the financing but needed additional funding to purchase the business. Working with the SBDC she pulled together a solid business plan to secure financing.
"Les Streit explained various options, offered support and encouragement. He also talked with me realistically about the printing and publishing business – especially newspapers," shared Lori. "I believe he was making sure I knew what I was getting into. Then he helped me put together a business plan, complete with charts and future income projections. I believe all this made the difference in my obtaining my e-community loan. I was looking into tapping my retirement fund. I didn't think I had any other option until I met with Les."
Together with Lori's own equity contribution, a commercial bank loan and a Wabaunsee County E-Community loan, the financing package was finalized and Lori became the new owner of The Wabaunsee County Signal-Enterprise in June 2016.
When we talked with Les Streit, Kansas SBDC at WU advisor, he attributes the successful purchase and transition of this business to Lori's tenacity and the cohesive effort from all the financing partners as they worked together to assist in the asset purchase of the business. "The Kansas SBDC at Washburn was very honored and pleased to work with such a talented business entrepreneur and her funding partners," said Les.
To date this 134-year-old paper continues to publish weekly in the county seat of Wabaunsee County in Alma, Kansas, population 792. In addition to Lori, the Signal-Enterprise employs two part-time staffers, two part-time reporters, and two contributing roving photographers.

The old man sat on a chair outside the kafenion, his face covered in blood.
A small crowd gathered, one person stepping forward to give him some comfort. It was an Englishwoman, one of the most compassionate people in the village. Last year, she had even saved the bug-eyed cat from extinction.
He was in shock, possibly suffering from concussion. He was gabbling away in Greek and then began to cry.
An ambulance was called and took an age to materialise. In between times, the police came to the plateia twice, once to talk to the old man and the next time to come back to say the alleged assailant, who was said to have hit the victim on the back of his head with a stone, told the police he did not know what they were talking about because he was asleep when it had happened.
But the old man's wound had come from somewhere. He had probably been lying on his patch of land, bleeding, before coming to and staggering up to the plateia for help. You could tell that, the Englishwoman said, by the way the blood had matted from the wound at the back of his head around to his face.
The word on the street was that it had been a dispute between neighbours, with a stone thrown by someone at least twenty years the old man's junior. It was lucky it hadn't killed him. He was well into his eighties.
It reminded me of when I was a child, growing up in the Westcountry in the sixties, when stone throwing among neighbouring farmers was not unheard of, especially when it came to jealousy over a piece of land the assailant thought should be his.
This kind of thing happened all over the world, I thought, between individuals, tribes and countries. It is happening in Crimea as I write this. But it jarred in this peaceful spot, this lovely village tucked away far from the madding crowd.
Their thoughts and prayers are with the old man.
That's about it.

It never ceases to amaze me the passion land brings out and the evil things that happen because of it. Sad though it is to think about that poor man and his sufferings, this is beautifully written with a starkness that shows the shock and dismay you felt, and the fact that land and the ownership of it is global - and so is the passion for it.ReplyDelete

Blogger Outreach Service
Real blogs, real audience, phenomenal results
Real blogs, real audience, phenomenal results
Once your order is placed, we get in touch to find out more about your business, your goals, and your target market. Once we have all the information we need, we start prospecting potential target blogs. Our main focus is on DA, traffic, and whether the audience aligns with your target market.
After your approval of the potential target blogs, we begin the outreach process.
We make contact with each of the blogs we're targeting, and start securing opportunities to provide an article for publishing on those blogs.
When we have secured enough opportunities to fulfil your order, we start preparing the content.
Every article we prepare will be available for your approval inside your client area.
After we have your approval on the content, we send it off to the target blogs. The target blogs have their own editorial review process, and will review the content we provided. Once the content passes the editorial process, the content will be scheduled for publishing, and we get the link.
When the link is made live, you'll receive an update showing you the live URL(s) in your client area.
You'll then be able to download your white-label (or branded with your agency details) report from within your client area.
Our blogger outreach service can be used by anyone for any internet marketing project.
Here are a few different types of clients we have using this service right now:
As a marketing or SEO agency, you understand just how time consuming blogger outreach is, but also how important it is. We can work as an extension to your agency, providing you with high quality placements on incredible blogs, and delivering a white label (or branded with your company details), ready for you to send to your clients.
When you're trying to grow your own business, the last thing you need to be spending hours on every day is blogger outreach, it's a very time consuming process. Leave that to us – we'll get the results, so you can spend your time on running your business; like creating content or improving your conversions.
Blogger outreach works wonders for affiliate websites, but as an affiliate marketer, you have so much more you need to focus on other than building quality links. Leave that to us, we'll get you high quality links which deliver phenomenal results, leaving you to focus on the other important elements of your affiliate business.
We don't use private blog networks, community blogs, or any blog which has been setup purely for guest posting. Every blog we target requires 100% manual outreach in order to secure a placement.
All of our content is produced by native English writers. Every piece of content we produce is something that provides value to the target audience, something which your audience will want to read, and real blogs will want to publish.
Every blog we target is a real blog, with a real audience. We prospect the perfect blogs for every project we take on. There's no lists here; every project is different, every project has a different audience, and we make sure we put your placements in front of the right people.
Your link is included naturally within the content of the article so that it will pass the maximum benefit to your business. When we put your link in the article, we place it in such a way that the reader will actually want to click it too – so it's not just an SEO benefit, it will bring direct referral traffic too.
We take the time to fully understand your business, your market, your audience, and your goals; this allows us to have a complete understanding of what you want. From here, it's easy to have an owner mentality, ensuring we do everything the way you want it to be done.
Once the project is completed, you can download your white label report from your client area.
Simple as that, we do all of the hard work, and you get the credit!
When we're targeting blogs for any project, we look at a number of things, but most importantly:
If we can answer yes to all of these questions and the blog passes our standard quality checks, then we add the blog to the list of prospects for your project.
Yes. We make your link fit naturally within the context of the article, and we only publish on real blogs. There is no footprint whatsoever. Every link not only looks natural, it is natural.
Yes. The content we create for your placements will be made available for you to approve from inside your client area.
Yes. Once you have placed your order, one of our consultants will get in touch to get more information about your business and goals. Once the prospecting starts, you'll be shown the list of blogs which we plan to target for your project, you will be able to reject any blogs you don't like (although to date, this has never happened).
The type of blogs we target are all high quality, and wont accept links or anchor texts that are overly promotional, provide no value for the reader, or don't fit within the context of the article.
We recommend using a branded or natural anchor text, and linking to a page on your website which offers something of value.
If you place an order and we think the link or anchor text aren't suitable, one of our consultants will be in touch with advice and propose a solution.
Because we target real blogs, with large audiences, they are very busy. Each placement goes through an editorial review with the target blog. This leads to a longer delivery time than the typical 'guest posting services' out there which are simply paying to publish any piece of content on any blog.
Most orders are completed within 4 weeks, but it can take up to 6 weeks depending on the blogs being targeted.
Once a placement is secured, the link and the post will remain live on the blog indefinitely. If a placement or link is removed, we will replace it for you.
We don't provide this service for gambling, adult, pharmaceutical, or anything illegal/unethical.
We offer bulk discounts starting at 10% discount for orders of 10 or more placements. If you want to place a bulk order, please contact us prior to placing your order so that we can apply the discount for you.
We accept payment via PayPal, or Credit/Debit card.
There are a few things which you can do to help maximise the results you see from our blogger outreach service:
Diversify Your Anchor Texts
You don't have to use exact match keyword anchor texts. Pick natural phrases or use branded anchor texts like "eXthus" or "eXthus.com". Google is very good at understanding what a page is about; having a page all about a blogger outreach service, and having the majority of your backlinks using the anchor text "blogger outreach service" will ring alarm bells at Google.
Link To Pages Of Value On Your Website
While it's tempting to link to your homepage or service page all of the time, it's not necessary. Link juice is passed around your website; you probably link to your homepage and service pages from every page on your website, so if you link to a quality blog post from your outreach placement, that link juice will pass through to your main pages too.
Linking to a quality post on your blog will also let potential customers learn a bit about you, and what sort of value you provide. This is a much better introduction than a homepage or a sales pitch.
Randomise Your Placements
When you're building links, you want to be consistent, but you should keep it random. For example, if you order 5 placements in one month, consider ordering 3 or 7 in the next month, and then 2 or 6 in the month after that. This helps to keep things natural.

Care Instructions
Care: When you pick out your favorite case goods and take them home with you, you want to take care of these pieces and ensure that they will last in your home for many years. The first thing you should do is keep your case goods out of direct sunlight. This helps protect the surfaces from humidity and heat.
Get into the habit of using a soft dust-free cloth for routine maintenance in order to remove the accumulation of dust. Do not use any furniture cleaners or abrasives. This can damage the finish of the piece.
Keeping these things in mind will help you keep your furniture looking its best for years to come.

For those in need of residential treatment, Turning Point of Tampa provides services that are second to none. Turning Point of Tampa is one of the few facilities in Florida that is licensed to provide residential treatment.
Our clinical team works with each client to devise an individualized treatment plan with the goal of complete and continuous abstinence. Each client meets with his or her individual therapist once every week. Solid group therapy is the keystone of our program.
Our facility is on a single campus, with a main building where clinical services are provided, and adjacent to it are the duplexes where our clients reside. Located among these residential homes, which over the years have come to be known as "The Village," is a staff office. Clients are monitored 24 hours a day and there are always staff members available for support.
Level I is our most intensive program. It is based on a 30-day model in which clients are under staff supervision around the clock. In this setting, the focus of treatment is relapse prevention, development of healthy coping skills, and identification of one's underlying issues relating to addiction, eating disorders and other addictive behaviors. Clients will take part in various types of group therapy focusing on trauma, abuse, grief, and loss, as well as relapse prevention. Our staff uses a highly effective array of methods, including psychodrama. Many groups are gender specific, enabling clients to address sensitive issues without members of the opposite sex present.
In Level II, clients gradually begin to transition back into the outside world and life in recovery. It is designed to set up clients for success as they acclimate to continuous abstinence. While still under the care of our staff, clients are expected to begin working, volunteering, or furthering their education and to occupy 16 to 20 hours per week to do so. They spend the remainder of their time at Turning Point of Tampa, attending individual and group sessions, as well as other community functions.
Contact us today for more information about residential treatment at our campus in Tampa.

Italian soprano Elena Rossi will be the other guest performer inthe classical part of the program.

You said, "I come at it from the angle of, 'What is God teaching me through this?'" And that unsettled me a little bit, although I couldn't understand it at the moment.
But I've figured it out: Sometimes the proper response to art, to beauty, and to God Himself is not "What does this mean?" but "Wow!" Awe. Wonder. And the thing about awe and wonder is that they take us outside of ourselves and make us forget ourselves.
I think that, in the Christian community, we want everything to have some sort of spiritual meaning. And sometimes it does, and that's fine. But sometimes the thing itself is the point, and to try to understand it for what it means, or what it's trying to say, is to reduce it from beauty to function.
And we do this with God sometimes: We relate to Him only by loving Him by what He can do for us, even when those things are good. And we should indeed praise and honor Him for those things. But some of the most interesting times I've ever had with God are when I understand who He is as it has nothing to do with me. He makes me forget myself. All I can do is be there in His presence and be filled with joy at Him, for who He is.
Not that the arts are God, obviously. But they are one of the means that He can use to teach us how to forget ourselves, and make us a more wonder-filled people.

Flight In, 30x40" | MK MacNaughton
In September 2012 I visited the Noatak National Preserve near Kotzebue, Alaska as a Voices of the Wilderness Resident. I hiked, sketched, painted, and soaked in as much of the vibrant fall color as my memory could carry away with me. Back in Juneau I worked on creating a series of paintings and drawings from this experience which were on exhibit for the First Friday December Art Walk. As part of the exhibit, I offered an artist talk and slideshow. Over 500 people visited the exhibit, and 40 people attended the slideshow. Additionally, I will be offering a talk and slideshow about my experience in the Noatak in Sitka on February 21st, 7pm at the Park Service Visitors Center.

I have spent the past 23 years living in the rainforest of Southeast Alaska. I grew up in Portland, Oregon, so the Pacific Northwest and it's lush, green forest has always been home to me. The opportunity to visit the Noatak gave me a glimpse of an entirely different landscape, and the opportunity to spend time taking in the landscape as an artist guided my vision while I visited the preserve. Alaska is such a breathtakingly huge state, it is hard to fathom how different the geography, flora and fauna of our state is. The Noatak National Preserve is 8.5 million acres, which is about the size of Switzerland. This is only one of the four parks that the NPS Western Arctic National Parklands staff oversees!

Visiting the Noatak in the fall presented colors I don't usually get to see. The cusp of summer to winter is quick in the north. We felt and saw glorious warm sunny days, burning red and orange tundra, icy rain, hail and dustings of snow during the days we camped at Copter Peak. There were still berries in the meadows, but it wouldn't be long before the nearby sea froze. I spent a lot of time looking at the colors around me. The mountains shifted from pale, dusty blues to purple to red, depending on the time of day and weather. The landscape expressed its moods through clouds that raced through the sky. I feel lucky to have visited during the magical and fleeting fall.

As an artist I sketched and painted every day. I usually work in a studio, so the opportunity to make art in the field was a new experience for me. I found when I returned to my studio that my field sketches offered me more detail than photographs could sometimes as references. In photos, shadows sometimes obscured ridge lines and receding mountain edges. Because I took the time to sketch the world around me while I was in the field, I learned a lot about the landscape. I became personally acquainted with the landscape.
Looking for an un-crowded place, 30x40" | MK MacNaughton
I was, and still am, in awe of the scale of the Noatak. We flew in a small plane for about an hour from Kotzebue to get to our campsite. The aerial view of winding waterways, patterns and colors of the tundra is mesmerizing. On the ground, the tundra offers an infinite journey into pattern and color on a tiny scale as well. I could very well have dedicated an entire trip to learning about fascinating plants and lichens that looked like they were from another planet to me. The contrast of scale was fascinating, and had a great influence on the art I created once home in my studio. I hope to return to the Noatak again someday, and I appreciate the fabulous opportunity I had through Voices of the Wilderness.

A huge thanks to Dan Stevenson with the National Park Service in Kotzebue for making this residency possible, and my deepest gratitude to Wildlife Biologist Marci Johnson for accompanying me to the tops of ridges, up river beds, and best of all, for quietly sitting in the sunset watching caribou graze past our camp.
Thank you also to the teens at Kotzebue High School who spent time drawing with me and the elders in Assisted Living who sat for portraits and told me stories of the land that they love and know so well.

Medtronic, NuVasive Spar Over Surgical Patent Infringement in Jury Trial
Medtronic, NuVasive Spar Over Surgical Patent Infringement in Jury Trial (Bloomberg)
Medtronic Inc. (MDT) and NuVasive Inc., makers of medical devices for spinal surgery, are each seeking to convince a San Diego federal jury that the other infringed patents relating to products used in minimally invasive surgeries.
Warsaw Orthopedic Inc., a unit of Minneapolis-based Medtronic, accuses San Diego-based NuVasive of infringing three patents for implants capable of being inserted translaterally between adjacent vertebrae, a plate and screw system used to stabilize vertebrae in the cervical spine and a tissue retractor, according to court filings.
Medtronic lawyer Luke Dauchot told jurors in his opening statement today that the company's damages are "substantial" and that a financial expert will present one option for calculating lost profits at $200 million and "another that is even much higher than that."
"Yes, it's a lot," Dauchot said. "But the damages are strictly, strictly limited to the loss of profits."
NuVasive alleges that another Medtronic unit, Medtronic Sofamor Danek USA, infringes its patent for a nerve monitoring system for lateral spinal surgery, according to court filings.
NuVasive lawyer Frank Scherkenbach told jurors that NuVasive products don't infringe the Medtronic patents. He said NuVasive's technology is the product of independent development, was first put on the market in 2003 and soon "changed the face of spinal surgery." He said that in 2003 Medtronic possessed no such technology.
'We Didn't Copy'
"We didn't copy," he said. "NuVasive copied nothing."
He said Nuvasive's devices became so successful that the small company which originated in an orthopedic surgeon's garage became a target for the much larger Medtronic.
"They wanted in on this product," he said.
U.S. District Judge Michael M. Anello is presiding over the trial.
The case is Medtronic Sofamor Danek USA v. NuVasive Inc. (NUVA), 3:08-cv-1512, U.S. District Court, Southern District of California (San Diego).

Groin Anatomy
Knowledge of groin anatomy is of paramount importance in the understanding of the causes of groin pain. The groin region consists of ligaments, tendons, muscles and fascia all of which attach to the pubic bone. The majority of groin pain arises from the attachment of the inguinal ligament and lacunar ligament, the rectus muscle insertion, the pectineal fascia and ligament (also known as Cooper's ligament) as well as problems arising from the adductor tendon insertion. Due to the complicated nature of this anatomical region only an intricate knowledge of this region will help in the accurate diagnosis of groin pain.
Central to the groin area is the inguinal ligament, which marks the lower most fibres of the abdominal wall musculature. Inguinal hernias arise above this ligament and it plays a pivotal role in the causation of groin pain. The inguinal ligament attaches to the pubic bone, curls downwards as the lacunar ligament and joins the pectineal ligament (Cooper's ligament). The pectineus muscle attaches the femur to the superior pubic ramus. This muscle is covered by a thick fascia (pectineal fascia), which joins the pectineal ligament. Tension in any of these ligaments or fasciae will cause pain in athletes. It is important to try to assess whether groin pain arises above the pubic tubercle (i.e. upper groin pain) or from below e.g. from the adductor tendon origin (lower groin pain).
The adductor tendon inserts into the front of the pubic bone and also connects underneath. The fascia arising from the adductor tendon and the inguinal ligament - together with the fibres coming from the rectus muscle insertion - form a continuous sheet of fibres. This may explain why it is quite difficult for some athletes to separate symptoms arising from the inguinal ligament/rectus attachment and the attachment of the adductor tendon fibres.

That's the situation today on the Staten Island Expressway, and the Tri-State Transportation Campaign's Michelle Ernst has written a scathing blog post about it. She calls it "same old same old," and points us back to a 2005 newsletter where she expressed concern that it could turn into a "bait-and-switch."
Here's a significant quote from that newsletter:
Further, a process by which a mass transit project is created but then turned into highway lanes begs questions of legality and future trust in the DOT's intentions, or at least in the consequences of any action the agency takes to build special-use lanes. The DOT recently took over the Tappan Zee corridor project, which envisions construction of "high occupancy toll" lanes in Rockland County, another highway innovation untested in the region or NY State. Everyone involved in that project, and in other projects involving special use lanes, will have to ask how quickly highway agencies will roll over to political pressure to change the nature of those lanes if the DOT caves in on the Staten Island lanes.
Indeed. How's that going, then? Well, according to Tri-State's latest posts, the initial financing report says that the current price tag of $16 billion will probably be more like $23 billion after inflation and debt service. So far they've only figured out how to pay for $4 billion. The rest may be financed by "public-private partnerships," and we know to approach those with caution (PDF).
Significantly, the Financial Studies Report (PDF) does something that none of the previous Tappan Zee reports have done: separate out the costs of the various components. Up until now we've had to deal with the whole thing as a package, and accepting "BRT" has meant accepting the DOT's assumption that any replacements must widen the bridge to eight lanes and include two new "HO/T" lanes (which do not count as BRT). Now the tables on Page 3 of the study break down the various costs in a straightforward way. (I hope the staffer responsible doesn't get fired for such egregious transparency!)
The tables tell us that if we just want to rehab the bridge and use two of the seven lanes for BRT, plus build a full, separated BRT line from Suffern to Port Chester, it would only cost us $2.89 + $2.55 = $5.44 billion. Assuming that the inflation and debt service multiplier is linear, we're talking about $7.82 billion, which is roughly a third of what it would cost to build a commuter rail line from Suffern to Tarrytown, widen the bridge and add "climbing lanes" in West Nyack.
"But Cap'n!" you protest, "the studies show that millions of people will move to Rockland in the next ten minutes, and that they will all insist on driving their single-occupant Hummers back and forth across the bridge nonstop for the rest of their lives!"
Well, son, calm down. Remember that those studies were done before the recent economic collapse. Rockland is completely unsustainable in its present form. In this climate, people would have to be nuts to move to some car-dependent subdivision in Rockland. There will probably be huge growth around transit centers (Suffern, Nanuet and Spring Valley), and the rest of the county is going to be depopulated faster than you can say "Averill Harriman."
The people of New York have two options. We can prop up the Rockland sprawl for a few more years by mortgaging a new $23 billion ten-lane bridge to Lehman Brothers, or we can fix up the bridge we have and make do. Going along with this bridge just so that we can claim some "BRT!" victory that will be bait-and-switched out of existence a few years later is about as short-sighted as you can get.
I don't know why Tri-State staffer Steven Higashide is so bullish on the Tappan Zee reconstruction. Ernst seems to have a much healthier skepticism of the DOT's ways; I wish she could pass them on to Higashide.

P. O. Box 6825
Over a period of years, a series which chronicles the background story of the various counties of the Tar Heel State has been sponsored by the Historical Publication Section of the North Carolina Office of Archives and History. Each volume is concise, yet contains comprehensive data. The latest addition to the series is TYRRELL COUNTY: A BRIEF HISTORY by Alan D. Watson.
In this highly readable book, Watson recounts the history of Tyrrell County over nearly three hundred years. Formed in 1729 and named for one of the proprietors of the Carolinas, Tyrrell County is one of the oldest counties in North Carolina. (Dare, Martin, and Washington counties were later created from parts of Tyrrell.) Geographically isolated and still sparsely populated, the eastern county has never played a major role in North Carolina's statewide affairs.
Watson's central theme is the development of county government and courts from the proprietary period through the end of the twentieth century. His basic description of duties of the county court and officers such as justices of the peace, county clerk, sheriff, and constable provides a good foundational knowledge that is applicable to colonial North Carolina counties as a whole. The author demonstrates how people were selected for county offices based upon their family and wealth and how these individuals were able to use their duties to expand both their influence and affluence. He also explores the role the court played in transmitting the culture of society during its proceedings. Then he discusses governmental problems inherent to a poor county, such as the construction and upkeep of public building like the courthouse and jail, ferries subsidized by public funds, and taxation.
Although much space is devoted to local governmental issues, Watson's narrative expands to discuss a variety of topics, including the county's boundary disputes, the role of colonial taverns in conveying information, the division between residents during the American Revolution and the Civil War, the changing role of women, free blacks and slaves, the local economy, agriculture, fishing industry, wood products, wine production from scuppernong grapes, transportation and internal improvements of waterways and roads, the environment and ecotourism, education, religion, health care, and lifestyles of its residents, many of whom have roots extending back into the area for generations. Prominent surnames in the county through the years include BLOUNT, COLLINS, CURRELL, DOWNING, HASSELL, HOOKER, HOSKINS, JONES, KENNEDY/CANNADY, LEE, MACKEY, MCCLEESE, NORMAN, PETTIGREW, SLADE, SMITHWICK, SPRUILL, STEWART, SWAIN, WARD, and WYNNE.
Well-written and fully documented, the informative text is accompanied by interesting illustrations, including drawings, photographs, maps, and reproductions of records. Packed with names of people as well as the story of major events, the work is a valuable reference resource that remains easy to read. TYRRELL COUNTY: A BRIEF HISTORY is an excellent example of a general history that will attract and will useful to both amateur and experienced genealogists and historians. Watson's volume will make a welcomed addition to any library's collection of North Carolina materials.
Sporting a scenic front cover, the 244-page paperbound book contains a foreword, an introduction, more than 60 illustrations, chapter notes, a twelve-page bibliography, and a thorough index of names of persons, places, and subjects. Priced at $24.78 (which includes tax and shipping costs), TYRRELL COUNTY, A BRIEF HISTORY may be ordered online at http://nc-historical-publications.stores.yahoo.net/ or at www.Amazon.com. It may also be purchased from the Historical Publications Section (BR), Office of Archives and History, 4622 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-4622.
