Journey of a Texas Team
October 11, 2010 11:54PM
This is a rather special moment in time in the history of a business, a team, a product launch. It might make Seth Godin smile. I'm pretty sure he has a bug in our office anyway - so maybe he's already smiling. The last few months have been tough frankly. We announced a dream, a vision, a plan; everyone got excited, we believed our own press clippings for awhile. Then reality set in. Big dream, big vision; the plan part - well down here in Texas there is an expression about "Big Hat, No Cattle". In our case it meant amazing goal, and a pretty unrealistic plan.
We're smart. We're educated. We're entrepreneurs. We work hard. Actually we work really hard. So if you get into a jam, you figure it out, you tough it out, you work longer hours, you throw money at it, you pray, you will it to work out. But this time it didn't. The dream was too big - the vision was too far in the distance, and the plan started to change daily. We started to fray around the edges. We lost some good people along the way.
But then we started to come together every day - sometimes two or three times a day. Leadership, teamwork, determination, and pride in authorship of something bigger than just ourselves kicked in - and to a person everyone did more - better - with more grace - more grit - and with more concern about their co-workers than we had ever mustered. Long weeks, longer weekends, 3AM emails, lots of community meals - a few little meltdowns, some tears, but more laughter, and deepening pride.
It's almost midnight - no one is even talking about leaving - tonight we get closer to the dream, and a lot closer to being back to having a plan. A few took time to go home and kiss the kids goodnight, let the dogs out, go to a meeting, pick up another dinner for co-workers - but everyone is back. Someone asked if we should take some pictures so we remember this night? Not really a chance that anyone will forget.
I have never been surer that when a really good team can get past hierarchy to collaboration - they can become a really great team. The sum is infintely greater than all of its parts. Tired, grateful, humble, optimistic, and in awe of what a small determined team has accomplished. Maybe I should get everybody a Big Hat.

It keeps going and going....
Hey guys,
Thought I'd reach out and see if any of you have any ideas on this. On any of the single "video" pages on this site, like this:
http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts ... tionality/
If you view it in IE 8, it just continuously loads seemingly blank content expanding the site horizontally forever. It's very bizarre. If you click the "compatibility view" button it doesn't do it, and it works in literally any other browser.
It has something to do with the comments area, as if I remove that from the template it loads fine.
The page validates perfectly as well.
Weirdness :D
-ChrisI just checked the page in ie8 on http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/ and it looks fine. Could it just be a problem with ie8 on vmware? Does it do the same in ietester?it loaded fine for me for about a second, then did exactly what Chris said. Im on XP here.Its a bug with IE8 atm - loads of people and sites are reporting the same problem with embedded video... there seems to be no solution atm... :(You could try this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc817570.aspx
Though how they have the gall to sayThese short-term fixes are recommended only for quick, temporary use. Eventually you should modify your Web site so that it sends standards-based code to Windows Internet Explorer 8 and above
beggars belief!! :lol:Hahahahah..... crap. I really don't want to start checking IE8 too...
Yea... It's a real shame your website isn't valid.... *sarcasm* :xIt IS standards-based. Fully-validating, that's what so darn infuriating.
I'm going to bust out the meta tag they suggest to just make it emulate IE 7.
Booooooooo.Just as I ignore IE6, I ignore IE8. Can't trust MS to get nuthin' right..."chriscoyier" said:It IS standards-based. Fully-validating, that's what so darn infuriating.
(I know, sarcasm is the devil on the internet...)"chriscoyier" said:Booooooooo.
lol"friendofpugs" said:Just as I ignore IE6, I ignore IE8. Can't trust MS to get nuthin' right...
Not that this is the proper place for this discussion, but that's really not a good idea. In a year when everyone uses IE8 (and today while 25%+ still use IE6) all the products you create will be broken.Not that this is the proper place for this discussion, but that's really not a good idea. In a year when everyone uses IE8 (and today while 25%+ still use IE6) all the products you create will be broken.
Our site metrics don't support those figures. IE6 has slowly been trending down at 17% while IE8 is hovering at just below 6%. IE7 represents a whopping 75% of the traffic, so for us, that's the only IE player we worry about at the moment. (We received over 100K visits from May 11 to April 11.) Besides, IT won't install IE8 yet for us to test against 'cuz of our wonky desktop environment. You'd at least like to think that IE8 should render better than IE6...but that's a long shot. ;)Well that's better than 25%, but you realize you get 6000 IE6ers and 17000 IE7ers? So 23000 people who see your site in a browser you haven't checked.
Sorry for the thread-jack... I'm done

Over those 10 frames, he has faced 39 batters surrendering just five hits and four walks and striking out 12 batters.

Michael Craig Miller, M.D., is editor-in-chief of the Harvard Mental Health Letter and an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Miller is in clinical practice at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he has been on staff for more than 20 years.
Schizophrenia may raise the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Thats true whether or not the person is taking antipsychotic medicine. So clinical monitoring is a good idea for everyone.
Antipsychotics can add to the problem. Many of them cause weight gain, especially clozapine (Clozaril) and olanzapine (Zyprexa). Being overweight can increase the risk of diabetes. Lipid levels may also rise, boosting the risk of heart disease.
Monitoring should not be too hard. But a recent survey showed that less than one-third of Medicaid patients get the monitoring they need.
Also, the typical psychiatrists office is not set up to do this kind of monitoring. The same is true in community mental health centers.
Published guidelines first ask doctors to get personal and family medical history. Regular checks of height, weight, waist circumference and blood pressure are recommended. Blood tests can show the glucose (sugar) and lipid (cholesterol and triglyceride) levels.
This may sound like a lot. But its the same way doctors evaluate anyone at risk for heart disease or diabetes.
Many psychiatrists picture a health care system that has better integration of medical and psychiatric care. But were not there yet.
So for now, the best strategy is to make sure your daughter sees a primary care doctor regularly. The psychiatrist and primary care doctor can work together to monitor her overall health.

New rivalries: Bobcats facing different district opponents
BY Chris O�Dell, firstname.lastname@example.com
With only four games determining playoff teams from District 10-3A, each contest has added importance this season for Celina.
The Bobcats got off to a quick start in the postseason race by earning a dominant 52-11 victory against Carrollton Ranchview last Thursday.
�It was huge,� said Bill Elliott, Celina head coach. �We still need to get better and better though. We just have to keep improving each week.�
�The defense did a great job,� Elliott said. �Ranchview has some good athletes and the defense completely shut them down.�
The Bobcats were just as good on the other side of the ball, scoring every offensive possession and not punting a single time in the game.
�Everything worked real well for us,� Elliott said. �We feel pretty good about how the game went.�
Key to Celina�s offensive success was the group of runners that accounted for more than 200 yards on the ground. Senior Willie Sims rushed for a game-high 96 yards and two touchdowns on just eight carries while junior Connor Torbert added another 30 yards and one score on nine attempts.
�That�s a luxury we�ve got right now,� Elliott said. �We have six running backs that could all start for us.�
The successful ground attack allowed sophomore quarterback Nathan Elliott to have an efficient night throwing the ball. The signal caller completed 13-of-17 attempts for 145 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while chipping in with a 1-yard touchdown run during the first quarter.
�Whenever you can score every possession and don�t have to punt at all in the game, you have to be pretty pleased with your offense,� Elliott said.
Senior receiver Ben Thiel was the beneficiary of Elliott�s efficient night, catching seven passes for 102 yards and a 16-yard touchdown during a second quarter that saw Celina take a 31-3 lead.
Things figure to be more difficult tomorrow night, with Frisco Lone Star coming into Bobcat Stadium for a crucial 10-3A battle.
�[Lone Star] throws it a lot and they throw it real well,� Elliott said.
The Rangers are led by quarterback Will Campbell, who has racked up 1,274 yards and 16 touchdowns through the air while having just one pass intercepted all season.
�[Campbell] is a real talented player,� Elliott said. �He will be a definite challenge for us.�
The two teams will kick off the district battle at 7:30 p.m. with the winner taking the inside track to the 10-3A championship.
Working in Celina�s favor will be the return of junior running back Deshawn Davis, who was cleared to play on Monday.
�That�s a pick up for the whole team,� Elliott said. �[Davis] brings a spark back to practice and to games.�
The Bobcats will conclude their regular season slate with games against Aubrey and Argyle, with a bye week in between the two contests.
�It�s hard to believe there�s only three weeks left,� Elliott said.

Are there any free or reasonably priced databases for the US which can be searched and return latitude and longitude information?
For that many records, don't even consider a web service. They will throttle or cut you off before you can finish your task. So then your option becomes to run it locally, and for that you have several commercial or free options. The free options will use the census TIGER dataset which you will need to load into a spatial database. You can find libraries that geocode against TIGER for PostGIS or even sqlite. Heck you can even use ArcGIS to geocode against TIGER. Of course, ArcGIS is not free, which brings me to the next commercial options. If you do have an ArcGIS license chances are you have StreetMap DVD with a TeleAtlas (I mean Tom Tom) or Navteq dataset. That depends if you got StreetMap Premium bundled. Any of those two datasets will probably give you more consistent results than TIGER. Do yourself a favor and make several copies of the street database once your data is loaded and run the geocoding process on several machines with a subset of the input data. Dont try to run it on just one machine or you will be waiting for days for it to finish not to mention that most likely whatever process you run will probably leak memory and crash several times before it finishes. This means that you want to have different checkpoints for your process. |
I work at SmartyStreets (an address verification company). Our service is free for nonprofit organizations (school, library, church, charity...), so if you fit that classification, there's no charge for our unlimited service. Ragi recommends against a web-service, however, our API can easily clean, standardize and geocode 20 million addresses for you in about 5 hours (approximately 1000 per second). Some of that time will depend on the speed of your machine (how many cores you have) and your network connection (don't try it over 3G, but a standard broadband connection will do just fine). Just wanted to point out that it is certainly possible with a webservice. |
I used this walkthrough describing how to build a postgis geocoder using 2010 TigerLine data. I'm running it right now - it's not fast, as it's going to take 3 weeks to geocode 2 million addresses. However, it's free, unthrottled, and took someone with minimal coding and postgres skills less than 2 days to set up and load with one (large) state's data to begin geocoding. I've also done absolutely no postgres tuning for the system and it's running over NFS mounts, so I suspect there's one or two orders of magnitude worth of performance gains I could get out of it if I needed to. Rather than using web services, I loaded all my addresses into the postgres database, and then I'm running a quick and dirty perl script to geocode them all one at a time:
(line breaks solely for readability) So that generates a "geocode the address with this ID value and use the best match" update statement, and pipes it to psql to do it. It only attempts to geocode address with no rating - i.e. ones it's not already geocoded. So it's restartable, and each one is done independently. |
I'm guessing you want to Geocode but not pay anything for it? There are a bunch of services that you can geocode 20 million records on, but it will cost you. Esri, Pitney Bowes and other offer these services via subscription or on a cost per x geocodes. 20 million isn't trivial, but I'm assuming there is a business case for this. |
As you'll be geocoding US addresses, I think the Street Address to Coordinates tool from the Data Science Toolkit should work well for you. You might want to download the virtual machine though and run it from your own hardware. That way,you don't have to worry about API limits plus you control it too. Oh and did I say that it's free? ;-) |
I have not seen any reference to the level of precision you need but I am assuming that you want rooftop long lat or close to that. The quality of the input address can be a factor as well. A well cleaned list of addresses will code better and faster than a list of incomplete or bad addresses. Also, is a 90% hit rate acceptable or do you need all 20 million addresses coded? I do not have a free solution, but there is a relatively inexpensive one that I know of and use. ZP4 from Semaphore Corp, http://www.semaphorecorp.com/ offers a address scrubber/geocoder and add ons which will process the addresses and return a cleaned address, a flag which indicates if the address is USPS deliverable, and the long lat for the ZIP+4. ZIP+4 precision is generally close to rooftop precision in builtup areas (correct side of the street and on the correct block) and not close in rural areas. The cost for a 30 day license is $120. After that time the address scrubber will still function, but Delivery Point Validation (DPV) and the geo returns will not function. With a relatively quick computer, built within the last two years, and all of hte data stored and accessed locally, the 20 million records should be done in about 10 days. I have been geocoding addresses for the last 15 years and I have beeen using ZP4 for most of that time. Before they offered long-lat or DPV, I used it to pre clean addresses prior to geocoding. |
The location of your data is very important because the quality of web-services change (precision, scale etc...) I geocode my adress from google api, facebook api and ex-simplegeo with my geodatabase. http://blog.programmableweb.com/2012/06/21/7-free-geocoding-apis-google-bing-yahoo-and-mapquest/ |
if your geocode request does not exceed 2,500 per day, you can use The Google Geocoding API . you should take a glance to api, it can return to results as json or xml. Usage Limit: Example: http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?key=yourkeyhere&output=json&q=520+3rd+Street+San+Francisco+CA Example Result:
and you can check some example link for geocoding from google: 3. Starting with Google GeoCoding i hope it helps u |
Why do you need to geocode the 20,000,00 addresses? Can you start with towns or zip codes? The results will not be perfect, but for some applications it will be good enough. 20 Million records at 2,500 per day will take years, at 100K per day that will still take months. |

Rupert Murdoch has apologized for a "grotesque, offensive" cartoon of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu published in Britain's Sunday Times.
The cartoon by Gerald Scarfe depicts Netanyahu atop an incomplete brick wall with screaming Palestinians and body parts in the mortar. Netanyahu is holding what appears to be a bloody builder's trowel and the wall's mortar is colored red. The wording beneath reads: "Israeli Elections, Will Cementing Peace Continue?"
The cartoon was published on Holocaust Memorial Day on Sunday and prompted complaints that it was anti-Semitic and insensitive.
Murdoch, chairman of News Corporation, which owns The Sunday Times, used his Twitter feed to apologize, tweeting: "Gerald Scarfe has never reflected the opinions of the Sunday Times. Nevertheless, we owe major apology for grotesque, offensive cartoon."
Scarfe, who has worked for the Sunday Times since 1967, is perhaps best-known for designing and directing the animation for the film of Pink Floyd's The Wall.
Martin Ivens, the acting editor of the Sunday Times, also apologized, saying in a statement: "The last thing I or anyone connected with the Sunday Times would countenance would be insulting the memory of the Shoah (Holocaust) or invoking the blood libel.
"The paper has long written strongly in defense of Israel and its security concerns, as have I as a columnist. We are however reminded of the sensitivities in this area by the reaction to the cartoon and I will of course bear them very carefully in mind in future." The weekday edition of The Times reported Tuesday that Ivens would meet representatives of the Jewish community to apologize.
In a statement posted on his website, Scarfe said: "First of all I am not, and never have been, anti-Semitic. The Sunday Times has given me the freedom of speech over the last 46 years to criticize world leaders for what I see as their wrong-doings.
"This drawing was a criticism of Netanyahu, and not of the Jewish people: there was no slight whatsoever intended against them. I was, however, stupidly completely unaware that it would be printed on Holocaust Day, and I apologize for the very unfortunate timing."
In the Jewish Chronicle, editor Stephen Pollard wrote that the cartoon did "slip over the edge into anti-Semitism, because it invokes the blood libel." Blood libel refers to a long-standing anti-Semitic myth that Jews murder children to use their blood in religious rituals.

Northampton Saints full-back Ben Foden has backed his side to produce a big performance against Ulster this weekend in the Heineken Cup.
Last week's result saw Ulster run four tries past Northampton at Franklins Gardens in a comprehensive victory, with the Saints receiving plenty of criticism for their poor performance.
With Ulster now at home for the rematch and still unbeaten so far this season, Foden believes that despite his side being written off, Northampton can travel to Belfast and cause an upset.
"I think that it [the defeat] stung so much because we were at home and conceded four tries," said Foden to ERC Rugby.
"The performance let us down, as individuals and as a team. There is no finger pointing, we sat down and took the blame as a team, and we know we have to make things better.
"It is a big ask to go to Ravenhill and beat an undefeated side but for us it is about pride, of getting back on track.
"A lot of people will write us off - which is probably a good thing - but we are probably at our most dangerous when teams take us for granted and we will be looking to put in a big performance at Ravenhill.
"We did not play as well as Ulster as a team and obviously we will bridge that gap if we perform to our potential."

Swift Green Replacement For GSWF Filter
- Change Every 6 Months
- 300 Gallon Capacity
- 0.5 GPM Flow Rate
The main ingredient in almost all water filters is activated carbon, which is a form of carbon that has been processed to make it extremely porous and thus to have a very large surface area available for absorption of chemicals and impurities.
The only refrigerator water filters available that are compatible with model GSWF are produced by General Electric and can be used in GE, Amana, Hotpoint and Kenmore refrigerators. Using the GSWF refrigerator water filter will allow you to get better tasting water and ice from your refrigerator.
These fridge filters are the factory original OEM part and have been tested by NSF International to make sure you get the best drinking water possible. This water filter will remove the majority of the chlorine taste and odor from your drinking water. Lead and all of the other chemicals that are normally found in tap water are also removed with this filter.
These GSWF model refrigerator water filters will purify up to 750 gallons of water and have a replacement schedule of 6 months. If this refrigerator water filter is not changed at the appropriate time, then the filter will not be able to work properly.
Water filters start to get dirty over time from removing the contaminants from drinking water. As this occurs, the filter will gradually stop removing the particles and chemicals from the water, which will mean that you will be drinking contaminated water.

The movie theater has a long tradition of being not only a place to see the latest film, but also as a meeting spot in town. Maybe it was where you and your friends hung out each weekend or the place that you had your first date; you may have stolen a kiss or two from your sweetheart while everyone else's eyes were glued to the screen. It doesn't matter what the memory is, we each have one involving the theater.
The Ritz Theatre is no exception and has been a part of the square in Thomaston since 1927; making this the 85th year for the historic single screen theatre. A celebration marking the event is planned for August 7 with a movie retrospective from the last eight decades, live entertainment from local artists, and of course, anniversary cake. Doors will open at 6:15 p.m. for the 7 p.m. show.
Current Ritz owner Malcolm Neal couldn't be more excited about the show that he has worked on putting together for the last month, but it is the stories between the movie clips that he is looking forward to sharing the most. Neal interviewed several people from the area and asked them to share what it is that they love most about the Ritz or perhaps a favorite memory.
"It is always interesting to hear the memories others have of coming to The Ritz," said Neal. "My favorite of the stories I've heard is the one about the lady who was married to the first projectionist and how he proposed to her in the projection room. She told me once that she felt like she almost belonged to The Ritz because it had been such a part of their life together."
It seems that The Ritz has been full of happenings since it was originally opened by W.C. Stubbs in 1927. It was the heyday of theaters at that time, and The Ritz was not the only theater in town. There was also The Palace, Five Points Theater, Community Theater and Harlem Theater. However The Ritz has been the only one left standing since the 1960s.
In 1928, Stubbs sold the theater and upstairs office to former Thomaston Times owner J.B Hardy and his partner W. A. Odom in 1928. Hardy and Odom changed the front to the art deco style we know today.
The pair bought the business from Stubbs for $55,000, which was a large amount of money for the time period. Yet, the cost for the entire building and business back then is nearly $30,000 less than what it will cost to keep showing movies after the end of the year.
Those who run the movie industry today have decided that movies will only be distributed in a digital format after the end of this year. This leaves theaters which use 35 millimeter film like The Ritz, with only two options: raise the money for a new projector or cease to show movies.
A group of local citizens have formed the Upson County Concerned Citizens (UC3) and their first project is to help save the beloved historical theater. They have done a few talent show fundraisers throughout the summer and are currently in the process of organizing several larger scale fundraisers through the rest of the year. Neal stated that Larry Dawson, who is president of UC3, came to him and asked if they could use the anniversary show as one of the fundraisers. Neal continued that the show itself is free to the public, but that the group is asking for a $10 donation to go towards the Ritz Digital Challenge to purchase the new projector.
"The main purpose of the evening is to celebrate the anniversary of The Ritz," said Neal. "People have told me how much they enjoyed the shows in the past and we want bring the party atmosphere back again… and hopefully we can raise some money to keep it open for another 85 years."

Climate Change Science and Research
The Earth's climate is changing. Globally, this is evident in increasing average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice and rising average sea level. In Canada, we are already seeing rising temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and increases in certain types of hazardous weather, such as heat waves. In the Arctic,
Arctic ice is shrinking rapidly
rising temperatures are thawing permafrost and shrinking the ocean's ice cover. The international scientific community has determined that recent changes in many aspects of global climate have been primarily caused by the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and that human activities are a major source of these gases.
Environment Canada is a national focal point for Canadian research on the climate system and the science of climate change. Our scientists investigate Canada's past, present and future climate to determine how our climate is changing, as well as the causes and effects of this change. In addition, we develop the science needed to understand the impacts of climate change on Canada, and how we can adapt to these changes.

that was a good play by davis...attacking the glass
. |
He isn't settin the pick very well
gotta have Davis and Anderson more involved and then take our chances....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
They can miss from 3
These refs need to swallow their whistles, this is getting sad.
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
Put Lopez in.
Tanking each year for unproven college players with the hope of becoming contenders in a few years
They making me mad. Put Rivers in the game!!!
we stopping pushing the ball this quarter...we cant play like that..we have seen the results from last night...got to push the ball, we cant play a half court game
This getting ridiculous... 3 games straight the other teams cannot miss! Monty also needs to reevaluate the defensive strategy.. In today nba u cannot give up 3s like this
HR Re-Draft: New York Knicks
tough loss
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool,
And feed 'em from the table that held Corleone's food,
If you die, tell them that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name.
Guess who is putting in time at WBOK 1230 AM Talk Radio... Don't guess, it's me. Tune in on Fridays at 12 noon for Sport-a-Talk with Roe Brown and you might just hear me!
Feel free to PM me for details.
I rarely complain about refs but these last two, hell 3, games have been some of the worst officiating I've seen since the lakers' series in the playoffs.
Unbelievable play ad
I really can't tell if his and. 1's are luck or skill, because he gets a lot of shots like tht to fall.
This Davis guy is a bust. Trade him for cookies.
Cue da Throne
AD gets open off the screen and is on fire yet we pass him up? I don't understand.

On Sunday, April 14, 2013, from 11am to 4pm the L.A. Heritage Alliance hosted its Fourth Annual L.A. Heritage Day to share Los Angeles and Southern California's history through tours, five museums, children's activities, presentations, giveaways, food, and other activities. The entire event and all activities took place at the birthplace of Los Angeles and adjacent to world-famous Olvera Street, making for a full day of free history, fun, and entertainment.
"In an area sometimes perceived as having no 'real' history, L.A. Heritage Day is an opportunity for people to learn about and enjoy the fascinating people, places, and events that have shaped Southern California," said Cindy Olnick, spokesperson for the Los Angeles Conservancy. "It's also a chance to learn about the incredible variety of local preservation groups, museums, libraries, and historical societies serving people today throughout Los Angeles County."

26th Annual Holiday Tour & Progressive Dinner
A Warm Welcome to Wellington Square
Holidays in the Heart of the City
Saturday, December 1 & Sunday, December 2, 2012
The West Adams Heritage Association extends to you A Warm Welcome to Wellington Square. This gracious neighborhood is a vivid representation of the rapid growth that Los Angeles experienced during the 1920s in the years following the end of "The Great War."
There are a few examples of the wonderful Craftsman homes that were typical of nearby neighborhoods constructed prior to WWI, but most of the homes that grace the broad streets of Wellington Square reflect the eclectic styles of a vibrant young city, with Spanish, Tudor, Norman, and other "Revival" styles throughout the neighborhood.
The Living History Tour was a Success -- another Sold Out event for WAHA!
West Adams Heritage Association presents

Entertaining Lives
History Comes to Life on Saturday, September 29
Marilyn Monroe's Grandmother, Buster Keaton's Cameraman Join Vaudeville and Jazz Age Performers on this Unique Outdoor "Stage"
Flappers, singers, dancers, magicians, and even a celebrity chef –– a host of colorful entertainers rest at Angelus Rosedale Cemetery, one of the city's oldest, most historically significant cemeteries.
At this year's Living History Tour, visitors will "meet" some of Los Angeles's most interesting early performers and entertainment industry personages as costumed actors, at graveside, portray the lives of a Civil War-era escape artist, a headlining dancer who lost her life in the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, a mezzo soprano who fought for civil rights, and a Chinese-American dancer/actor/MC, among other quirky and wonderful characters.
Wednesday, July 4,

Another Successful Tour!
Saturday, June 9, 2012
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Tour grand Victorian era mansions and Queen Anne Cottages alike in one of West Adams' oldest neighborhoods, University Park
A century ago, Adams Boulevard was Los Angeles' Street of Dreams – the main artery of a "Bon Ton District" that included Chester Place, St. James Park and the Belgravia Tract, home to some of the City's finest residences. For this year's Annual Spring Homes and Architecture Tour, WAHA invites you to stroll these pathways to yesteryear. This self-guided walking tour will open the doors to a collection of historic buildings that evoke the times and memories of the late 19th century in Los Angeles. Tour visitors may also ramble through the grounds of Chester Place, L.A.'s oldest gated community. Developed in 1899 as an exclusive enclave, these historic mansions are now home to Mount St. Mary's College.
The Tour Was a Great Success -- We Sold Out!
The Arts in West Adams – Third Annual Art in Historic Places Tour
Saturday, March 24
Two articles have been published online about this year's 25th Annual Holiday Tour & Progressive Dinner:
From Intersections South LA.org:
"This past weekend, six houses in a West Adams neighborhood opened their doors — and their kitchens — to a parade of visitors celebrating the holidays.
Put together by the West Adams Heritage Association (WAHA), the Silver Jubilee offered a self-guided walking tour of the neighborhood, or a docent-led progressive dinner, with each house serving one part of an elegant five-course meal.

i would like to see some of them fight each other like grimmjaw vs greed,gin vs lust,yammy vs gluttony and ulqiuorra vs envey
greed has the ultimate shield, lust has the ultimate needles, envy is an amazing fighter and he can imitate the espada, gluttony can eat anything, pride (bradley) can see what they are about to do before they do basically, sloth can turn into water, and wrath can use alchemy to his advantage. if wrath was to accidentally use his alchemy and their weakness on the others he'll still probably have a fighting chance for the espada can still die. i am nothing. i am betsuni.

Wolf's Freakshow: Part I
Originally published: Apr 25, 2012 - 9:56 am
And this is why I'm fascinated by players that have been gifted with so much more. Before we proceed with the 2012 Freakshow for this year's NFL Draft, I offer this disclaimer: to be called a "freak" in my world is a term of endearment.
"Freaks play football" and have existed in the game of football since our species began pummeling each other and the inception of the NFL did nothing to diminish this maxim. NFL executives, scouts and coaches have searched the world high and low, near and far for the biggest, strongest, fastest, quickest and most powerful people on the planet. Ted Hendricks, Bob Hayes, L.C. Greenwood, Ed "Too Tall" Jones, Bubba Smith, Deacon Jones, Harold Carmichael, Jerry Ball and many more are proof of this truism.
I do not use the word "freak" in any way, shape or form with a negative connotation and certainly don't mean to offend those that may use this word to describe the less fortunate plight of some people. I use the word within the context of which I lived, played and admired for so many years: the locker room.
And so, without delay or hesitation, I offer you the most rare, exceptional and unique human beings in this year's NFL Draft - regardless of where they may be selected. So I invite you to step right up and don't be shy�because you will not believe your eyes!
Donald Stephenson: OT Oklahoma
6-6 315
4.94 (40)
36" Vertical
Good: Great athlete with freaky wingspan. Excellent feet with excellent lateral movement. Donald ran the best 40 time (4.94) of any tackle at the combine and also had the best vertical jump (36"). Athletically, there's nothing he can't do but�
Bad: This guy won't bust a grape. Allows d-linemen to get their hands inside, catches way too much and generally shows a soft demeanor while playing tackle football. Doesn't play with any authority; plays the game like he's holding custard in his hand. Is not physical. Undisciplined. Doesn't finish what he starts. Late bloomer at Oklahoma, doesn't have a ton of experience. Lazy, plays like he just ate Thanksgiving dinner. Soft�warm�and fuzzy. Needs to get in the weight room and do something other than roll plates around. Bench-pressed 225-pounds at the combine only 19 times.
Freak-Factor: 7.0 This guy has the talent to be one of the best left tackles in the game. There's just one problem: he hates football� but he is a freak.
Josh Robinson: CB Central Florida
5-10 199
4.29 (40)
39" Vertical
Good: Explosive. This guy is Mount Vesuvius and receivers, Pompeii. Great burst, rare athleticism and shows the ability to run with any receiver in the league. As fast as he needs to be. Freaky quick feet. Shows excellent reaction to the ball. Compact and bigger than you think. Human missile but carries no warhead.
Bad: Needs to be more physical. Gets covered up on the edge too easily. Needs to get off blocks. Tackles too high, doesn't wrap. Only a junior and needs to develop. Plays too stiff and doesn't have rubber bands for hips. Doesn't have a great pedal and needs to improve technique. Doesn't use his hands enough and receivers often get inside position on him.
Freak Factor: 7.5 Josh did a great job shutting down A.J. Green in a bowl game. He has all the tools to be a very good corner for years to come but needs to learn the idiosyncrasies of playing corner at the NFL level. Should he develop the nuance needed to play the position, the combination of his speed and athleticism could make him a significant force on the perimeter.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, make sure you tell your friends�and tips are always appreciated.
(Make sure you come back tomorrow for the biggest freaks on the face of the 2012 NFL Draft.)
