Texas Department of Public Safety:
An Inventory of Department of Public Safety Photographs (Highway Patrol, Identification, and Other Divisions) at the Texas State Archives, 1937-1965, undated
Agency History
In 1935, the 44th Legislature (Senate Bill 146, Regular Session), responding to recommendations made in 1933 by the Joint Legislative Committee on Organization and Economy, created the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) for the purpose of placing under a single jurisdiction the state's functions in crime prevention and traffic control programs. The original Department was composed of the Texas Rangers, removed from the Adjutant General's Department; the State Highway Patrol, taken from the State Highway Department; and the Headquarters Division, composed of the Bureau of Identification and Records, the Bureau of Intelligence, the Bureau of Communications, the Bureau of Education, and various administrative and service units. Other divisions were added in later years, as needed (see divisional descriptions). A Certificate of Title Division was created in 1939 (House Bill 407, 46th Legislature, Regular Session) and administered by DPS until its transfer to the Highway Department in 1941.
By 1956, the Department had reconstituted the Headquarters Division into a number of major divisions and had added several new divisions to create a total of fourteen, each of which was headed by a Chief who answered to the Director. To alleviate this unwieldy structure, the 55th Legislature authorized the reorganization of DPS (House Bill 325, Regular Session, 1957). The Department then created six regional commands, each headed by a senior officer who was placed in command of the region's Highway Patrol, License and Weight program, Motor Vehicle Inspection program, Driver's License program, Communications, and Safety Education Service. Each Regional Headquarters also contained a limited crime laboratory. The Texas Rangers were assigned to six companies, each headed by a captain, with the same boundaries as the regional commands. The Narcotics and Intelligence Sections operated state-wide out of the Austin headquarters. Supporting headquarters divisions, sections and bureaus were consolidated into four divisions: Identification and Criminal Records; Personnel and Staff Services; Driver and Vehicle Records; and the Inspection and Planning Division.
By this time DPS had evolved into the state police agency, charged with enforcing laws, preserving order, and protecting the rights, privileges, property, and well-being of Texas citizens. Its responsibilities fell into three major categories: crime suppression and control, motor vehicle highway transportation and management, and disaster and emergency activities. To meet these responsibilities, the Department's divisions operated the following programs: crime control, police traffic supervision, driver licensing, vehicle inspection, safety responsibility, accident records, safety education, disaster and emergency services, and police training. It enforced criminal laws in cooperation with local, federal, and other state law enforcement agencies.
The policy making body of DPS is the three member Texas Public Safety Commission, appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the Senate for overlapping six year terms. The positions are non-salaried and the governor appoints the chair. All members must have knowledge of the law, experience in law enforcement, honesty, integrity, education, and executive ability. The Commission appoints a Public Safety Director to serve as the executive officer of DPS.

Scope and Contents of the Records
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is the state police agency, charged with enforcing laws, preserving order, and protecting the rights, privileges, property, and well-being of Texas citizens. Photographs were made by Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) photographers to document or promote the activities of the various divisions, personnel, training, equipment, and facilities. These records consist of photographs (Highway Patrol, Identification, Communications, Internal Security, Motor Vehicle, Commissioners, Field Offices, Personnel & Staff Services, and Inspection & Planning) created by the DPS photo lab. Dated photographs span the period 1937-1965. Undated, original photographs may have been made as early as 1935. Others are known to be copies of even earlier images. The images consist primarily of black-and-white photographic prints and negatives, most in 4-by-5, 5-by-7, and 8-by-10 format. Some color negatives and transparencies are present for later years. There are some "crime" photos but they seem to be present in these files more for internal documentation than for legal evidence. DPS divisions, bureaus, or sections represented are Commissioners, Communications, Driver's License, Education, Field Offices, Headquarters, Identification, Inspection and Planning, Internal Security, Motor Vehicle, Narcotics, Texas Highway Patrol, Personnel and Staff Services, Ranger, Safety, and Statistical. Also included are a large group of miscellaneous images. Each envelope bears a brief description, e.g. "R-335 4x5 Ektachrome of Ranger Trenton Horton on Horse with Handie Talkie. Aug., 1949." Folder titles in the finding aid were transcribed by State Archives staff from descriptions written on the envelopes by DPS staff at the time the negatives were made.
Many examples of nitrate film and unstable diacetate film may be found in this accession. In 1999 modern prints were made of 476 of the earliest Ranger division negatives as one phase of a strategy to preserve images on unstable film. The vintage negatives for these images will be placed in cold storage to arrest deterioration.
This series was split into three separate finding aids due to the electronic file size limitations imposed by the online finding aid web site (TARO).

"Rosemarie Trockel: A Cosmos"
The idea-driven, object-oriented work of Germany's Rosemarie Trockel is famously polymorphous. Although best known for creating "paintings" made of machine-knitted wool patterned with recognizable symbols like the Playboy logo or the hammer and sickle, Trockel, like many of her peers from the 1980s Cologne art scene, eschews a signature aesthetic identity. Over the past three decades, she's created a wide-ranging body of work that spans mediums and deals with such themes as the human condition, the role of women in society, man's relationship to the natural world and above all, the mystery of creativity.
This unconventional traveling exhibition, cocurated by Lynne Cooke and the artist, takes up three levels of the New Museum. It is brilliant and problematic by turns. "A Cosmos" upends all expectations of what a survey should be. It refuses to showcase Trockel's greatest hits (the only examples of the artist's early woolen panels have been cut up and folded neatly into a Plexiglas box), and retrospection is confined to pieces from the past ten years, plus a grouping of Trockel's older books and booklike objects. But the show does offer contributions by 11 other artists, including outsider great Judith Scott (1943–2005) and scientific illustrator José Celestino Mutis (1732–1808), as well as the intact shell of a gigantic lobster. There are also paintings by an orangutan named Tilda.
Spread over the museum's second floor, the first section is a mess, albeit a fabulous one at times. The centerpiece is a small white-tiled room billed as a cabinet of wonders. It contains, among other things, a plastic palm tree hung upside down from the ceiling, a white aviary filled with stuffed birds and a sculpture composed of a hotel reception bell under a glass dome. It suggests that at least some of the antecedents for this exhibit are the surrealistic displays produced by the likes of Marcel Broodthaers, Joseph Cornell and Salvador Dalí.
Beyond this inner sanctum is a heterogeneous, mostly nature-themed aggregation of objects and art. Exquisite 19th-century glass models of marine invertebrates by Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka mix it up with Tilda's abstractions. Trockel herself presents a variety of extraordinary works, such as a photocollage of a tattered book opening like a flower against a background of puddled ink, a big dish-shaped ceramic sculpture in red, and a wonderful slide show, featuring leaves, seedpods, roots and grasses arranged into cartoonish figures.
Nearby is the work of several outsider artists, and while it is clearly Trockel's intent to dispense with, rather than solidify, conventional categories, a clumsy presentation seems only to further marginalize them. Her pieces are squashed into one awful freestanding vitrine, together with the uncanny work of Morton Bartlett (1901–1992), who made naturalistic models of children, then photographed them in lifelike situations. Another case harbors a flock of cardboard birds by James Castle (1899–1977), a deaf mute who made extraordinary soot-and-spit drawings of daily life. These arrangements do little justice to anyone.
The situation improves on the third floor, where Trockel pairs her own more recent wool paintings with a grouping of fiber-art sculptures by Judith Scott, an artist who had Down syndrome. A real dialogue develops between Scott's flattish, crimson-and-green wrapped-wool piece, resembling an exotic sea creature, and Trockel's lengths of black wool on canvas, arrayed in vertical lines that simultaneously conjure Richard Serra's oil-stick drawings and Agnes Martin's penciled grids.
Taking up half of the museum's fourth floor are Trockel's terrific new clay creations. This part of the exhibition is dominated by an elongated sofa (made from two identical casts of a real, if rather battered, modernist original) covered with a sheet of black-painted plastic and accented with an oversize felt throw. Its overblown domesticity finds an echo in a wall piece resembling a Cubist fireplace and another evoking an attenuated set of stairs. The domestic gives way to the untamed in exuberant, heavily glazed reliefs, as well as lumpy, pedestal-shaped sculptures whose surface textures recall lichen growths or volcanic rock formations.
In the other half of the gallery, a career's worth of Trockel's ideas in the form of her "book drafts" attest to her talents as a collagist and draftsperson. They're well worth spending time with. Essentially notes for future projects, these intimate sketches are, in Trockel's universe, as important as any of her finished works. And this, rather than simply celebrating the artist, seems to be the real point of "A Cosmos," for all its flaws: to subvert hierarchies and prick the viewer's imagination.—Anne Doran

A faster way to a new career
By Megan Sexton, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-1421
Want a guarantee that you can earn your master of library and information science within 18 months, with all of the courses available online?
That's what the University of South Carolina's School of Library and Information Science is offering with its new Fast Track MLIS, which will make it possible for students to become professionals in the field faster without compromising quality, said Samantha Hastings, SLIS director in USC's College of Mass Communications and Information Studies.
The degree still will require 12 three-hour courses, but USC will guarantee that the required courses will be available within the 18 months. The courses will all be taught online by tenure-track professors, with field mentors around the country who can provide guidance and serve as "course buddies."
"The need for information professionals is increasing across the country and in South Carolina. There are an increasing number of jobs in the information sector but a decrease in the number of qualified job applicants," Hastings said. "This will help us meet the needs in three areas that are critical."
Those focus areas are cultural heritage institutions, including museums and archives, information services and library services for children and youth. The classes will begin this summer and fall, with the graduate school online application due March 15. Hastings said she expects most of the students to be professionals who already are working in the field.
"Students are always welcome on our campus and we hope that they will visit us sometime," Hastings said. "We expect graduates will use their MLIS degree to change the world, providing access to information for everyone."

COMEDY CENTRAL Radio to Launch Exclusively on SiriusXM
SiriusXM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) and COMEDY CENTRAL, a wholly-owned unit of Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ: VIA and VIAB), announced today a multi-year deal for Comedy Central Radio.
The new channel will be an all-access pass to content from the top brand and leading name in stand-up comedy. For the first time, Comedy Central is creating a 24/7 audio channel with SiriusXM consisting of new stand-up and exclusive performances from its expansive and world-class library. Comedy Central Radio will offer hundreds of hours of stand-up comedy performances from COMEDY CENTRAL's massive library including stand-up series such as "COMEDY CENTRAL Presents" and "Premium Blend," and select performances from "COMEDY CENTRAL Roasts" and its roster of one-hour stand-up specials. In addition, Comedy Central Radio will feature new performances, behind-the-scenes and backstage broadcasts from Comedy Central events, broadcasts from Comedy Central Certified clubs, and exclusive shows from comedians taking listener calls and being "guest DJ" on the channel, often tied in with launches and specials on COMEDY CENTRAL.
"We are excited to work with SiriusXM to launch this exclusive 24/7 satellite radio channel and have COMEDY CENTRAL's top tier comedy content available to the millions of SiriusXM subscribers everywhere they go," said Michele Ganeless, President, COMEDY CENTRAL.
"COMEDY CENTRAL is the definitive name and leader in the world of comedy and we are excited to work with them to create Comedy Central Radio for our listeners," said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer, SiriusXM. "By adding Comedy Central Radio to a comedy lineup that includes Blue Collar Radio and Jamie Foxx's The Foxxhole, we are delivering unmatched and exclusive comedy programming to millions of listeners nationwide."
"COMEDY CENTRAL Radio will instantly become one of the premier destinations for high-quality comedy curated from our diverse and vast library of series and specials," said Mitch Fried, Executive Vice President, Enterprises, COMEDY CENTRAL. "Through this agreement with SiriusXM, we'll be able to deepen our relationship with those who make, and those who enjoy the best in comedy."

Matched Set: Steel doors and windows have a delicacy of proportion that no other commonly used material can match. Portella's custom steel window comes in casement, awning, and hopper configurations in three standard finishes (custom finishes are available). Kyle says, "It mimics a putty-glazed window, but does it in a way that seems very clean and modern." The Architect Series doors come in standard and arch-top profiles. Portella, portella.com
Material Benefit: Wood is good for a lot of things, but when it comes to exterior trim exposed to harsh conditions, Azek PVC presents an attractive alternative. Kyle likes the material's dimensional stability, long life (the manufacturer warranties it for 25 years), and workability. "It paints really well, and it cuts very well, so we use it fairly often," he says. Azek Building Products, azek.com
Top Plate: Cor-ten steel is "more fashionable in architecture than it used to be," Kyle says. That might scare him off, if he weren't so fond of the material, which naturally develops a distinctive rusty outer layer that inhibits further corrosion. Having used Cor-Ten as a maintenance-free siding material, Kyle says he loves "the way it patinas. And the color of it is really beautiful."
Common Bond: Made using the same process since 1891, St. Joe brick still comes out of individual wooden molds. "It has a kind of sandy finish, so it has this soft feel to it," says Kyle, who used it in the home shown in this photo. "It has a very strong association for me with Houston. A lot of mid-century houses here used it, and most of Rice University is built out of St. Joe brick. It goes really well with a traditional or modern house." St. Joe Brick Works, stjoebrickworks.com
Wish List
Top Floor: Despite its association with Depression-era kitchen floors, Kyle finds Marmoleum anything but depressing. "I just think it has fun colors and patterns; it's kind of a happy material." And though it was invented in the 19th century, it's a modern sustainability superstar. Made of linseed oil, wood flour, and jute, "it's renewable," Kyle notes. "It has a nice green profile." And blue, yellow, red, and orange … Forbo Flooring Systems, forbo-flooring.com

A handyman injures himself while doing repairs in your home, leaving spots of blood behind. Should you complain to him or his boss, or just let it go?
Dear Miriam,
I recently hired a handyman to do some work around my house. He was a very nice guy from a highly recommended company and seemed to do a great job. At the end of the day, I noticed that he had a huge cut on his hand. When I asked him about it, he revealed that the injury happened while working in my house. I expressed concern, and he said, "Just part of the job."
That night, I noticed a few blood spots on the floor in my bathroom and kitchen. I'm really grossed out, but I also feel partly responsible. Should I say something to the handyman himself or to his boss, or should I just let it go?
Cleaning Up After the Handyman
Dear Cleaning,
If getting injured is just part of the job, then certainly cleaning up is part of the job, too. That sounds like a disgusting sight to come home to, but hopefully the quality of the work at least put the injury in context. I hope the first thing you did was put on gloves and use heavy duty cleanser to remove any trace of blood from your home. Even if the memory stays with you, the actual evidence does not need to.
Ask yourself what you would want to get out of telling his boss and see if you really have anything to gain. If you're not going to ask for anything, then you're essentially just being a tattle-tale or passive-aggressively asking for an apology, which won't erase the memory. If anything had been permanently ruined or if the blood had gotten on a carpet, for example, you'd be within your rights to ask for reimbursement from the company to get it cleaned. But asking for compensation for cleaning the tile floor in your bathroom seems overly punitive.
You also get to decide whether this is a serious enough issue for you not to hire this handyman back. Since a quality handyman is hard to come by, though, and good ones are in high demand, if you may want to ever hire him again, you should think carefully about how you present (or don't present) your situation. You don't want to make yourself so demanding that the company won't come back.
It's also worth giving the guy the benefit of the doubt: Maybe he actually cleaned up a lot and just missed a few spots. Maybe he's great at fixing things, but less good at cleaning. Again, telling on him probably won't make him a better cleaner, and it certainly won't make you a better client.
Understandably, you also don't want to come home to this again. While this sounds like an unusually bad cut, next time you hire these folks (or anyone else for that matter), leave out some bandages, antibiotic ointment, paper towels and cleanser. Before they get to work, say, "These supplies should be everything you need in case of any accidents today. Let me know if you need anything else." Then, put your faith in the people you're hiring and hope that nothing is amiss when you get home.
Be well,

LONG BEACH — Voters re-elected one City Council member Tuesday, picked an incumbent's chosen successor and sent another race to a June runoff.
The only race outcome that was clear early was the 2nd District, where Councilwoman Suja Lowenthal cruised to victory by a 2-to-1 margin over political newcomers Janet Ballantyne and Mike Kamer, according unofficial final results from the City Clerk's Office.
In the 8th District, labor representative Al Austin beat out retired Los Angeles official Lillian Kawasaki by 12 percentage points.
"Obviously, our message resonated with the 8th District," Austin said from his victory party at El Ranchito restaurant on Long Beach Boulevard.
Austin's campaign had a strong focus on investing more in public safety. He cast his union-supported campaign as one going up against powerful local elected officials who backed his opponent.
"I think the voters made a strong statement," he added.
Kawasaki couldn't be reached for comment.
The 4th District representative, Councilman Patrick O'Donnell, would squeak into a runoff in his bid for a third term if Tuesday's results hold.
However, he came in second to business marketing consultant and community activist Daryl Supernaw, who ran his campaign on a shoestring budget.
Just 40 votes separated Supernaw, O'Donnell and retired Long Beach police officer John Watkins. O'Donnell led Watkins by only four votes.
City Clerk Larry Herrera said officials would determine a plan Wednesday to count 1,843 vote-by-mail and provisional ballots that were submitted on election day.
Additional ballots may also be found, said Herrera.
Winners take office on July 17.
8th District
The 8th District was the most competitive council race, with two politically connected candidates battling to succeed Councilwoman Rae Gabelich.
Gabelich supported Austin, who had 55.2 percent of the unofficial vote, winning by 433 votes.
Kawasaki, an elected director of the Water Replenishment District of Southern California, drew 43 percent of the vote. Her campaign was backed by two frequent Gabelich council opponents, Mayor Bob Foster and Councilman Gary DeLong.
A third challenger, Army veteran and student Gustavo Rivera, didn't mount an active campaign and had 1.8 percent of the vote.
The district includes parts of Bixby Knolls and North Long Beach and is bisected by the Atlantic Avenue business corridor.
4th District
In the 4th District around Los Altos and the Traffic Circle area, O'Donnell, a high school history teacher, is trying to make history himself by winning a third term as a write-in candidate.
If he does advance to a June runoff, his name will appear on the ballot.
That, along with O'Donnell's steadfast labor support, would boost his chances of being the first member of the council to win a third term since voters approved term limits in 1992.
Supernaw finished Tuesday with 34.1 percent of the vote; O'Donnell had 33 percent. Watkins had 32.9 percent.
The uncounted votes likely will affect that outcome, but at least for a night, Supernaw, who raised $2,928 this year to O'Donnell's $35,648, came out on top.
"It's just so early," Supernaw said after midnight from Hof's Hut Restaurant in Los Altos.
"I don't want to sound cliche, but I want to thank everyone for supporting a grassroots campaign."
During the campaign, Watkins fended off questions after it was revealed he lost his contractor's license in 1995 when the state determined he had done deficient work for the remodeling of a Rossmoor home.
He said he had worked off approved plans and didn't have money to contest the charges or pay about $115,000 in restitution.
Public safety was a centerpiece issue in 4th District debates.
The city's police and fire unions supported O'Donnell for a third time; Watkins was a member of the LBPD for almost 30 years.
2nd District
Lowenthal was the only incumbent on the ballot Tuesday and had 62.3 percent of the votes.
The 2nd District covers the Port of Long Beach and coastal downtown areas to the east.
Ballantyne, a sponsor relations manager at a financial firm, and Kamer, a volunteer coordinator and graduate student, accused Lowenthal of being out of touch with residents. They collected 29.7 percent and 8.1 percent of the votes, respectively.
Discontent over possibly including residents in a 14-year-old downtown business improvement tax drove the candidacy of Ballantyne, the president of a homeowners association.
Lowenthal has refused to take a stance on the issue prior to it coming to council.
She focused on a campaign pledge of continuing to work on everyday constituent concerns regarding parking, infrastructure, recreation and water quality, among others.
Lowenthal was guarded when reached by phone early in the evening, but was pleased with results that closely matched the final outcome.
"From what we've seen so far, I feel very comfortable and sort of renewed in the fact that people believe in what we've been doing in the 2nd District," she said.
"Not just me, but all of us together, empowered by partnership."

Hell no.... I used to live in Orange County (close to Irvine) and MOVED to L.A because it was excruciatingly far... Takes around 1hr and 25 minutes to get to L.A from OC with average/good traffic, with bad traffic sometimes up to 2 hours. I had to move to L.A to take classes... I would not even live in North O.C like Anaheim or even Long Beach, it's all way too far. The drive from OC to L.A was unbearable. You need to live right where the action is which is L.A proper or the valley (Studio City etc). The closer the better.
You would not save more money living in Irvine btw; Irvine is expensive. Santa Ana is mostly ghetto but has some ok areas. My car only takes premium gas and it costs me around $25 every time I drive from L.A to South OC (Irvine) and back. Just the drive is draining.

Yes. No. Don't do it. And stop asking about it. Get your ass inside the city limits and shut up.

I live in DTLA. Cheap housing. But I'm here for university. Its just also convient for acting.

I just linked this thread to another forum, so I'm bumping it to make sure it doesn't fall into the archives.

You've got to be kidding! Rent is not lower in Marina Del Rey or anywhere on the west side.
Haha, you nailed it, dude. Well done.
|Nicholas Cage
Is N. Fuller Ave in Hollywood between sunset and hollywood blvd safe?
|Morgan Freeman
Yes, it's fine, although it's noisy. Weekend nights are the worst with the drunken clubgoers.
I would avoid Hollywood if you can - not because of safety issues, but because it's a zoo and tourist trap.
|Kevin Bacon
I feel like the original post is very outdated/out of touch - maybe written by someone who's never lived in a city before. In what world is Silverlake "grody" or lower-income? Those houses with reservoir views start at 1M now!
My take:
(All of these recommendations assume you are an actor attending auditions all over the city, so a convenient location is a central/accessible location. AND these prices are for something not-gross, not in an undesirable/fringe part of the neighborhood.)
Silverlake/Los Feliz: Hip, popular, super walkable if you're in the right areas. There are deals to be found on the fringes of the neighborhoods, but overall not budget hoods. Los Feliz proper, Silverlake proper - are clean and safe neighborhoods, just not as pristine and tidy as, say, Santa Monica. And that's because the area is populated by creatives and young people. Each has a good public elementary, which is rare in LAUSD. Also consider that you can live right next to Griffith Park (great hiking, Trails Cafe!) or the Silverlake reservoir (which has a running path, a park-like lawn, dog runs, rec center - the sort of public spaces and amenities most LA neighborhoods don't have). Convenient location unless you go to the west side - Bev Hills to Santa Monica - very frequently. Studios start around 1100-1200. (If you can't tell, this is my neighborhood. Anecdotally, I find that there is a real community feeling that isn't so apparent in other parts of the city.)
Koreatown: Ehhh.... some kind of nice historic apartment buildings but most are run-down. Kinda dirty. Parking and traffic are both absolute nightmares. Studios start cheap, around 800-900. But unless it's like the most killer pad and you just can't get over it, and includes parking, it's really not worth it.
Beachwood Canyon: Lovely peaceful location. Some apartment buildings on Beachwood, and way up in the heart there's a cafe & market. (This is where I'd like to live next.) Studios start around 1200-1300.
Franklin Village: Very cute area at the foot of the hills, walkable. The commercial strip includes UCB, La Poubelle, a juice place, other restaurants, Gelson's. Just south of Franklin is ok, but north is nicer. Convenient location. Do your homework though - south of Franklin is fringey with the gross part of Hollywood, might be some sketchy buildings, I've heard of bedbugs... Studios start around 1100-1200.
Hollywood: My personal least favorite area. I'm talking about the flats here - below Franklin Ave and particularly around Hollywood & below. Parking is often a pain, can be lots of traffic (stay the hell away from Hollywood & Highland), loud clubgoers if you're near a main strip. And it's just dirty. Yes, conveniently located in the middle of the city. Some dirt cheap rents, studios starting around 800-900 - you decide if it's worth it. (Every now and then I start to soften on Hollywood - I'm there a lot for various classes, the Arclight, or just passing through, but I can't get over how gross and sad it feels to me. I would, though, definitely consider the area above WeHo, west of La Brea - so south of Runyon. But it's not as dirt cheap. I would only live there if I had a parking space.)
Hollywood Hills: Find a great guest house to rent and then never leave.
WeHo: Very walkable to lots of amenities in most areas of the hood, a million restaurants and bars (you might want to work in one), good shopping, boutiques. Clean. Super convenient being in the middle of the city, though you don't have any freeways. That does mean that traffic is a pain during rush hour but once you know the area you'll know how to avoid it and take alternate routes - since you're not stuck on a freeway! There are, here and there, some kind of affordable rents but likely won't include parking - which you kind of want in this hood. Studios can start around 1000-1100.
Larchmont Vill/Hancock Park/Beverly Grove: Mostly expensive, perhaps a little boring, but very lovely, well-manicured. Big historic houses, and some beautiful Spanish and Art Deco apartment buildings. Larchmont Blvd is a nice, yes, almost village-like commercial strip. Hancock Park is almost bucolic. Very central but so far from any freeways, though traffic through here on Beverly never gets too bad. Very affordable apartments are rare, but when you find them studios can start around 1200.
"West LA - Big amorphous area, dunno. Wide fast streets, big apt blocks, inhuman scale. Nice restaurant row on Sawtelle.
Century City, Westwood Village, Brentwood - Wide fast streets on an inhuman scale. More affluent. Apt situation/neighborhoods unknown. Corporate industry presence. Westwood Village is nice perhaps for UCLA students."
-Mostly agree with these. Brentwood does have some affordable-ish apartments if you have a family and need good public schools. It's a popular area with rich parents.
Santa Monica: You'll like it if you moved from a clean suburb and find Silverlake/Echo Park gross and scary. Okay I'm being a bitch - it's nice, but it is expensive, inconvenient if you ever go east of Beverly Hills, and I think other areas are much more interesting. Not to mention the beach isn't great.
Venice: Santa Monica's cooler, rough and tumble little sister. I only mention it because it's super hip, great restaurants, and a very walkable neighborhood, but it's like an expensive island - very far from the rest of the city. Still rough around the edges in areas, but that is part of the charm.
The Valley (Studio City/NoHo/Valley Village): HOT. Do not underestimate how much hotter it gets up there. I personally feel like it's not worth going any further, but: Studio City has many amenities, NoHo has lots of acting studios and theaters, Valley Village has some cute small-town-feel areas. Good for families (I guess) - larger apartments and houses are easier to come by. ALSO, traffic blows. I've been stuck on Ventura for like half an hour getting from one end of Studio City to the other. But lots of actors live up there, and generally people in the industry, and it can be convenient if you're close to the 101.
|Sean Penn
I too just recently moved to burbank and LOVE it... i'm pretty much griffith park on riverside... so it's super convenient. Close to lose feliz, studio city, and a 10 minute drive to hollywood. Close to all studios as well, and all major freeways. It's so peaceful and I have not been happier with a location in los angeles. But don't tell too many people because it would be nice to not have the rent skyrocket
|Harrison Ford
It's always appreciated and helpful to have other's updated information, especially since this thread was started in 2009, so thanks to all who add their input and updates.
The only thing I will add is that no matter where you live, if you park your car on the street in your neighborhood, be sure you are insured and never leave anything in your car that you don't want taken. I read and hear about car break-ins all the time.
"If you can dream, you can do. Making it happen is up to you!"
|Denzel Washington
Bumping another important thread before it falls into the archives.
Just looking over the various posts, it is interesting how much this boils down to personal preference. Like I'm sure catnaps meant what she said, but I personally find Los Feliz/Silverlake/Atwater Village depressing and would much prefer the nice parts of the Valley despite the heat. But that's just me having grown up in a place where it regularly gets over 100f with 99% humidity in the summer and I don't like Weho or Beverly Hills, either. If I were to move to the flats, I would tend towards Hancock Park or Miracle Mile if I could find a place with off street parking.
I live in Hollywood Heights and love it although I might not if I were in a place without a garage and if I hadn't found some ways to get around Hollywood Bowl traffic which can be a real pain in the ass.

A RESTAURANT boss has hit back at claims there are too many eateries springing up in the town centre, claiming that high streets are simply adapting to changing times.
Andy Laurillard of small Thai chain Giggling Squid, which opened in February in West Street, believes restaurants can actually help stem the decline of retail premises.
It comes after Marlow Chamber of Commerce chairman Tim Graham said last week that Marlow needed a more diverse mix of retail due to the number of eating venues in the town.
The Marlow-based solicitor also said too many could put the High Street's prosperity at risk if there was another blip in the economy.
But Mt Laurillard insists the restaurant trade is a knight in shining armour for an otherwise ailing retail market.
He said: "I'm not sure why restaurants are more vulnerable to recession in Marlow than retailers, estate agents and DVD rental shop. If well run they have pretty good margins.
"In general restaurants are saving town centres - side streets all over the country (like West street) which are significantly empty (like West Street) are being given a new lease of life by the eatery investment going in.
"Lots of retail business models don't work anymore as Internet buying replaces traditional shopping. Town centres have to adapt to that structural change which is far more powerful and long lived than the business cycle effect, especially in Marlow!"
He added that though Giggling Squid may be new, it simply replaces another restaurant, Pachanga, which closed down last year.
But new restaurants are threatening to replace shops and offices in Marlow, with a number of applications submitted recently to convert premises into eateries.
And there are fears that as a magnet for tourists and shoppers, a more balanced selection of retail stores is needed to ensure Marlow continues as a vibrant 'destination' town.
This month cafe chain Bill's announced it wants to move into an old office in West Street.
And last week, pizza and grill restaurant Wildwood obtained permission to convert gift shop Lorimers into an eatery.
However, the chain claims it will be contributing to the community, rather than detracting from it.
Its application said: "Being in a sustainable location, it would add vitality and viability to Marlow and help support the day time and night time economies."
The new diner will also create around 30 jobs.
Wycombe District Council already has a policy to protect the retail mix in Marlow, which is written into planning policy.
Its Delivery and Site Allocation (DSA) document demands that no less than 60 per cent of the length of shop frontage on Marlow's main shopping streets should be given over for retail use at any time.

It was easy but I 100% drilled this lineup.
Either BP didn't meet with Dusty or he didn't convince him.
We'll win tonight by 5+
Stubbs typically has very solid games after someone else plays in his spot. I bet he gets on 2+ times and scores 2+ runs.
makes me not even want to watch games when Dusty doesnt hold anybody accountable.. Hope Stubbs goes 0-4 and k's all 4 times.. im just sick of watching mis managed games. Hiesey gets 2 hits and sits.. Dusty did that to him last year after he hit 3 homers in a game.. GRRRRRRR
I hope BP just talked to him too late or hasn't had the conversation yet.
The Reds are in a crisis and Dusty is the ringleader. I suspect they will beat up on this retread and Dusty will think things are a-ok.
At this point I will watch the rest of the season, enjoy the performances of certain players, but my "expectations" of the playoffs are gone. IF your leader refuses to change to adapt to think outside of the box to get the club going, then why have high expectations.
Reliving greatness?
2008 Corey Patterson and his nearly 400 AB hits .205 with an OPS in the .580's. His best was an 0-19 (part of a 1-29 stretch) and 0-23.
The next year more greatness...Willy Taveras who had 400 AB and an OPS of .558 topped everyone with an 0-17, an 0-19 and an 0-35.
Neither got to start 7 straight during.
Florida I am usually an optimist.
But, what is the explanation of Stubbs and no Heisey?????
geez guys.... im buzzed and the game hasnt even started yet... gonna be a long night
I am uber ticked off over this lineup.
This is getting out of hand. This cat should not have a job, period. He is awful.

WWMT recently ran a story on their website and on the local newscast about KPL. They were following up on the many stories in the national print and broadcast media about the surge in library business in these tough economic times.
I told the reporter what I have written on this blog and in Link, the library newsletter, that our circulation is up almost 10%, with a 25% increase in AV materials. Program attendance, registration for computer classes, computer usage, use of our meeting rooms… all up.
One patron in the WWMT news report commented that our AV shelves are sometimes empty. Some days the shelves of new AV materials are rather bare. It's a high priority to get returned items, especially new, popular ones, back on the shelves ASAP. However, we have a strong collection of older titles too….ones you may have missed or ones worth watching or listening to again.
We've pleased our local TV station followed-up the national stories with the local experience. It is still another opportunity to remind viewers of our resources and that there is no charge to borrow any materials, including AV items.
Come visit soon.

AUBURN - While the future of Auburn's 130-year-old Toomer's Oaks is uncertain, Auburn has had a plan since 2001 to grow potential replacements and to supply alumni and fans with their own Toomer's Oaks seedlings.
"Due to the age of the trees, we knew a day would come that new trees might be needed," said Scott Enebak, professor of forestry. "We were anticipating sometime around 2020 at the earliest, but unfortunately the recent poisoning may create a new timetable. We are doing all we can to save the trees, but if the worst happens, we have a plan in place."
In 2002, students collected acorns from the Toomer's Oaks, raised seedlings and planted them in a small orchard on Auburn forest property. Today, 46 offspring of the famed trees are 15 feet tall and almost 3 inches in diameter.
"There were two goals for these trees," Enebak said. "Some of the trees could be used to replace the existing Toomer's Oaks when they reach the end of their normal life cycle, and the orchard could be used to produce acorns to provide a continuous supply of new Toomer's Oaks."
The visionary plan also created the Toomer's Oaks Seedlings program that benefits the Toomer's Endowed Scholarship Program for forestry students. Each fall, students in the Forestry Club, Wildlife Society and Xi Sigma Pi forestry honor society use a lift cart to collect acorns at Toomer's Corner, grow the seedlings in a greenhouse and sell them to alumni and fans around the country. More than 2,000 of these Baby Toomer's Oaks have been sold over the years.
Demand has grown substantially since the recent poisoning of the Toomer's Oaks, says Enebak.
"At present, we have sold out of our stock of Baby Toomer's Oaks," he said. "We have received more than 2,300 requests in the past two weeks. In May we will have approximately 400 seedlings available from the 2009 Toomer's acorns and approximately 600 available this September from the 2010 acorns."
A lottery system has been established for the purchase of seedlings. Those wishing to buy a Baby Toomer's Oak can fill out an online request at http://www.sfws.auburn.edu/oaks/Default.htm. Names will be randomly selected; those chosen will be eligible to purchase one seedling. The cost is $100 per seedling at the time a person's name is drawn in May or September, with the proceeds benefiting the scholarship fund.
Enebak says the famed Toomer's Corner Oaks may produce more acorns this fall, even if the trees have been fatally poisoned.
"When trees are stressed, they often produce a final crop of acorns," he said. "It's nature's way of preserving a species. We will gather those acorns and grow more seedlings. If they don't produce more, we have our orchard of Toomer's offspring and we will grow the Toomer's Oaks grandchildren."Updates on the condition of the Toomer's Oaks are available at www.auburn.edu/oaks.

Mines receives funding for energy storage research
GOLDEN, Colo., Oct. 18, 2011 – Stanford University's Global Climate and Energy Project is awarding $3.5 million to researchers at five universities, including $1.5 million to Colorado School of Mines, to develop new technologies that could dramatically improve energy storage capacity on the electric grid.
Twelve investigators from across the United States will participate in the initiative focusing on three innovative technologies.
Researchers working on the Mines project, Novel Solid Oxide Flow Batteries, will develop a unique type of flow battery that stores energy in methane and other gases, and then uses the stored fuel to generate electricity like a fuel cell. Investigators are Robert Kee and Robert Braun from Mines and Scott Barnett of Northwestern University. (For more information, see the article "Saving for a Cloudy Day" on page 18 of this year's "Energy and the Earth" research magazine.)
The other research projects include:
- Enhanced Electrolyte Energy Storage Systems: This research seeks to introduce transformative changes in the construction and composition of the redox flow battery, a promising but expensive technology that stores and generates electricity by pumping streams of charged materials (electrolytes) across a membrane. Investigators: Jeremy Meyers and Allen Bard, University of Texas-Austin; and Thomas Zawodzinski Jr. and Alex Papandrew, University of Tennessee-Knoxville.
- Low-Cost Flywheel Energy Storage: This program will investigate two novel designs: pendulum and hubless flywheels that use high-strength carbon nanomaterials with superconducting qualities to increase energy storage capacity at a significantly reduced cost. Investigators: Robert Hebner, Richard Thompson and Siddharth Pratap, University of Texas-Austin; and Ray Baughman and Shaoli Fang, University of Texas-Dallas.
- GCEP is a collaboration of the scientific and engineering communities in academia and industry. With the support and participation of ExxonMobil, GE, Schlumberger and Toyota, GCEP explores science that could lead to energy technologies that are efficient, environmentally benign and cost-effective.

Local Happenings Of the Week. OLD TIME WAR METHODS^ When Grant Wan an Officer In General Taylor's Army In Mexico. Ulysses S. Grant was a second lieutenant in the national army when General Taylor was 6ent to the Mexican border to mobilize for the Mexican trouble in 1843. It was by chance that Grant had his first experience with Mexican bullets. He was riding a horse far J. A. Dengel went to the fro™ M* regiment because he was curious to see the front. Just when he reached the front the Mexicans opposing the Americans began firing, and the nearest American regiment was ordered to charge. Grant, as ho later related, Lillian Schauble left last did n,ot have the m°ral courage to turn back, so charged with the soldiers. 36 below Monday morning. B. G.

James Love of Hillman was a business caller in the village last week. John Weisenberg was a Pierz visitor yesterday. This is Johns first visit here for a year. A "party" was held at the Otto Boser home last Sunday at which a large crowd attended. A. T. Shaves representing the Duluth News "Tribune was a caller here in the interest of that newspaper. E. A. Kummet went to Melrose last Saturday to become a member of the "Knights of Columbus." Many of our farmers are busy Jr^ttfeue." fire wood to A number of men were killed, but Grant escaped injury. Shortly after' he led his own regiment at Palo Alto. The 3,000 men under General Taylor faced a much larger force of Mexicans. The two •armies watched each other as both drew up in battle line. There were no trenches. The Mexican cannon ammunition was inferior to that used by the United States, and it was largely the superiority in artillery that permitted Taylor to sweep everything before him. Regarding the Palo Alto battle, - General Grant in his memoirs said: "The Mexicans immediately opened fire upon us, first with artillery aud then with infantry. At first their shots did not reach us, and the advance was continued. As we got nearer the cannon balls commenced going through the ranks. They hurt no one, however, because they would strike the ground long before they reached our line, and they ricocheted through the tall grass so slowly that the men would see them and open ranks to let them pass." As for the flint lock muskets then in use, General Grant said, "At a distance of a few hundred yards a man might fire at you all day without your finding it out." — Wall Street Journal.

It is thought thatthey were fright- end away at this stage as very little added work would have been required to reach the cash. The sounds of the two explosions and the hammering were heard by a woman living nearby. Pelon, John, $4.50; Prohazka, F. W., 4.40; Prosser, F. J., 6.32; Prosser, Jos., 5.G7. Kail.

In Friesland, it seems, there is a custom that the news of a birth or death is announced verbally by a man who calls at every house in the village for that purpose. If he brings the news of a birth he wears white gloves; if of a death they are notified, and after examining coiorea gi.v the premises and investigating the case, decided that the old man died of natural causes, apoplexy or heart disease. one black one.

Alexander Wang Fall 2012
Forget the references to NASCAR racing, BMX biking, and sports in his spring collection. Put aside categorizing perceptions about young, hip, contemporary wear. This fall, Alexander Wang broke out of any boundaries that might relegate him to the notional status of a junior-league champion of a fashion subset. His show on Saturday was a breakthrough: a collection with all the distinctions of proper, strong, and innovative design on a level of maturity which had the audience craning forward, engaged and curious from first look to last.
Now, how to explain it? As so many shows have been in New York this week, it was chiefly an essay on outerwear—the coats and jackets that will take us through next winter looking a hell of a lot slicker and smarter than we do now. Wang dealt his vision of modern tailoring in graphic shapes—rigorously narrow raincoats, biker jackets, and chesterfields (many hybridized with stiff hoods) paired with pants, slim mid-calf skirts with a center slit, or leather knee boots. Sounds simple? Hardly. The surface of every garment was textured in some amazing, eye-tricking way; cross-hatched or corrugated, gleaming or bubbled, plasticized or matte.
Even while hanging on a rack backstage, it was impossible, without an advanced degree in fabric technology, to understand how most of these garments had been constructed, only that they felt light, wearable, and weatherproof. It was those possibilities that excited Wang, allowing him to carry off such clever transpositions as turning an oxblood quilted sweater into a jacket substitute. Not that we were in art-house experimental territory. All these innovations were intercut with traditionally luxurious leather, sometimes sculpted into whole garments, like the sculptural down-filled jacket and vest (leather masquerading as nylon), or stripped onto the front of pants or skirts, with suede forming the back.
Ultimately, what made this collection inspiring and compelling was the way Wang seamlessly merged all these elements without relying on a theme or narrative, or feeling any need to play to a mass-market gallery by checking off his "best-sellers." When he turned to eveningwear, fusing leather bodices with draped chiffon or making silk fringe fly from shirting, he defied all clichés of cocktail dressing and red-carpet wear. None of it could be adequately labeled as a look, but that is no reflection on its coherence—quite the opposite. Fashion is always at its most exciting when there aren't quite the words to sum it up. It's then you know you're really looking at the future.

Hi , I have the same card. This is what works for me.
first do: aireplay-ng -1 6000 -o 1 -q 10 -e belkin54g -a 00:00:00:00:00:00 -h 00:00:00:00:00:00 rausb0. Where -e is your essid. -a your bssid (mac of ap) and -h mac of your card. it's on the back of your usb. (WUSB54GC). Then i do ifconfig rausb0 up and iwconfig rausb0 mode monitor. tap the upper arrow until aireplay-ng -1 6000 -o 1 -q 10 -e belkin54g -a 00:00:00:00:00:00 -h 00:00:00:00:00:00 rausb0. apears again and hit enter. When i do it like this, it works for me every time;but when i bring the interface up first somtimes nothing happens. then you can start airodump: airodump-ng --channel 1 --bssid 00:00:00:00:00:00 --w dump.cap rausb0. Then you can do : aireplay-ng -3 -b 00:00:00:00:00:00 -h 00:00:00:00:00:00 rausb0. Where -b your bssid and -h mac of you wirerless card (on the back). I hope this works for you to.

Porsha Williams Wants To Compete With Real Singers?!
Porsha Williams said that she plans on releasing a 5-track EP, but the title is unknown. "Flatline" is the first song scheduled for a release and she's going to pour out her feelings about Kordell Stewart. Here's what she explained to The Dish, of Bravo TV, about the career move.
"I know that I'm taking myself seriously. This is not my first time in the studio—I've done demo tracks before," Porsha explains. "I didn't become a Housewife and say, 'Oh, I want to sing!' I just decided I had the time to put into it, to actually release something this time. When you go through something like I did, you lean on music. It was really important to me and I decided I wanted to share that with everybody else."
Porsha also said that Kandi would come by the recording studio to give Porsha tips and encouragement. Hm…
