National Register of Historic Places listings in Cincinnati, Ohio
This is a list of the National Register of Historic Places listings in Cincinnati, Ohio.
This is intended to be a complete list of the properties and districts on the National Register of Historic Places in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Latitude and longitude coordinates are provided for many National Register properties and districts; these locations may be seen together in a Google map.[1]
There are 343 properties and districts listed on the National Register in Hamilton County, including 14 National Historic Landmarks. The city of Cincinnati is the location of 251 of these properties and districts, including 12 National Historic Landmarks; they are listed here, while the remaining 92 properties and districts, including 2 National Historic Landmarks, are listed separately.
- This National Park Service list is complete through NPS recent listings posted September 5, 2014.[2]
Number of listings by region[edit]
The properties are distributed across all parts of Cincinnati. For the purposes of this list, the city is split into four regions: Downtown Cincinnati, which includes all of the city south of Central Parkway, west of Interstates 71 and 471, and east of Interstate 75; Northern Cincinnati, which includes all of the city north of a line running along Interstate 74 from the city's western edge to Interstate 75, south to Martin Luther King Drive, east to Interstate 71, and north to the city's eastern edge; Eastern Cincinnati, which includes all of the city outside Downtown and Northern Cincinnati and east of Vine Street; and Western Cincinnati, which includes all of the city outside Downtown and Northern Cincinnati and west of Vine Street.

- ^ The latitude and longitude information provided in this table was derived originally from the National Register Information System, which has been found to be fairly accurate for about 99% of listings. For about 1% of NRIS original coordinates, experience has shown that one or both coordinates are typos or otherwise extremely far off; some corrections may have been made. A more subtle problem causes many locations to be off by up to 150 yards, depending on location in the country: most NRIS coordinates were derived from tracing out latitude and longitudes off of USGS topographical quadrant maps created under the North American Datum of 1927, which differs from the current, highly accurate WGS84 GPS system used by most on-line maps. Chicago is about right, but NRIS longitudes in Washington are higher by about 4.5 seconds, and are lower by about 2.0 seconds in Maine. Latitudes differ by about 1.0 second in Florida. Some locations in this table may have been corrected to current GPS standards.

Ideal for 5k and 10K road races and if you are an elite runner, it will work for the half marathon. The flatter midsole (4mm difference from heel to toe) also makes this shoe a great option for minimalist runners.

LANSING (WKZO) -- The Michigan Republican Party has reelected Chairman Bobby Schostak to a second term, but it was a close vote.
Schostak got 52% of the vote and challenger Todd Courser got 48%. The difference was reportedly some heavy behind-the-scenes lobbying by Governor Snyder, who reportedly worked the delegates on the morning of the convention.
Courser was supported by the Freedom Caucus/Tea Party grass roots republicans who have had success at previous state conventions.
Courser refused to withdraw his nomination after his loss became inevitabgle, as has been tradition, leaving some hard feelings in the hall. He says the close result sent a message that many in the state party want strong conservative leadership.

My first time
I have posted when I've scored, so I guess I'll post for my first....
I have rarely been able to even TAKE a shot over the past couple of years, so I was hoping to score this morning. After bundling up and getting set up, it started to get light, and I heard a doe blowing behind me. I would have had to shoot toward the road to shoot her then, but I didn't have a good shot anyway, with all the brush and undergrowth in the way.
After about half an hour, I saw her (or another doe) just inside the woods about 50 yards away from my homemade blind, but she was blowing at me. When I saw her, she was hunched like she was peeing or pooping, and I brought up my shotgun slowly. I took what I thought was careful aim and squeezed the trigger, but I either pulled it or wasn't aiming as good as I thought.
I saw a little smoke, but when it cleared, she was GONE! I was let down, because I know my slugs would have at least knocked her down, but there was no sign of her. Other than footprints where she had turned to run, and the poop she left behind. A little to the right of the footprints and about 10 feet behind where she was, I saw a straight line in the leaves where I imagine the slug skidded along the ground, but no blood at all. :( :(
I spent at least 30 minutes looking all around the area trying to find any sign of her, but nothing. I guess my aim wasn't as good as I thought, or I hit some brush or something that deflected the slug.
I know I'm not the first to miss, and I won't be the last, but at least I got to take a shot this year. Last year I didn't even get that!

Scenes from the MTV European Music Awards red carpet
On the red carpet of Sunday's MTV Europe Music Awards–in Frankfurt, Germany–David Hasselhoff got perhaps the biggest applause from fans, with host Heidi Klum, Kim Kardashian and "Gangnam Style" star PSY coming a close second. The random lineup proves what an eclectic show it was.
Metro was on the red carpet to talk to a few of the headliners.
Alicia Keys
Q: Hells Kitchen represent. New York just got its power back after Superstorm Sandy.
A: I know a lot of people that were affected by it and being through New York and gone through it myself–I've only had power back for five days. But some people are displaced and lost their homes. It's a time for us to come together and I'm praying for us and making sure the beautiful part is seeing how people across the world come together.
Q: There's talk of an apocalypse. What would you tweet, if you knew it was the end of the world?
A: Oh gosh, I really don't want to think about that. I really don't. But it's true it is something to think about. We're putting so much abuse on this planet. How is it not supposed to react that way?
Q: Maybe the next song–since you're wearing a green dress–
A: "Going Green" by Alicia Keys.
Q: What are you doing during your performance?
A: You can expect to be set ablaze. Speaking of the environment.
Lana Del Rey
What were you listening to before the show?
We were listening to Chris Isaak and Bruce Springsteen. Americana.
You're a model for H+M. Do you wear anything lucky from them?
[shows her underwear]
Quotes from PSY, Hasselhoff and Jepsen
"The whole point of 'Gangnam Style' is that you don't have to be that good."–PSY
"It's good because I ride horses. It's very easy."–David Hasselhoff on dancing "Gangnam Style"
"If you'd asked me when I was 7 years old, I would have told you with utter of confidence, definitely, yes. I'd be a star. But then I grew up."–Carly Rae Jepsen
Brett Davern from "Awkward"
Q: I got hooked on a marathon. You lose hours of your life.
A: You know what's funny is, I get addicted to the marathons and I've seen it. I've lived it. I feel like a loser watching my own show.
Q: Are we supposed to root for your character?
A: I think so. He's a nice guy! Right?
Q: What were you obsessed with online?
A: The remixes of Carly Rae's "Call Me Maybe." We go back to shooting January. I'm gona throw that out to the cast. We should do one!
Q: What do you say to Sweden? They love Eurovision.
A: Sweden's awesome and we can't wait for them to rock Eurovision. We have so many fans in Sweden. We've done two Swedish tours.
Q: Maybe because you guys look Swedish?
A: I mean, we have blonde hair but we don't–OK, yeah, maybe we do.
Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana
Q: What did you listen to to get excited for tonight?
A: To calm down, Ben Harper. Tonight, to get ready, Damien Marley.
Q: Do you smoke up?
A: No, I don't need to.
Q: Do Brazilians tend to dress differently? You're wearing some sort of revealing S+M gear here.
A: For sure. The difference is, people in Europe are more covered up In Brazil, it's really hot. We want to wear less clothes.
Q: What video did you get obsessed with this year?
A: Rihanna. "Man Down." I love her. She has a great concept, which, as a model, I aspire to have: a concept.

WATCH the Season Finale of Richard Hammond's Crash Course tonight at 10/9c on BBC America
"What I do generally can't be considered Rocket Science, but for my next crash course, it is… I'm slightly worried."
Don't miss the season finale of RICHARD HAMMOND'S CRASH COURSE *** Monday Dec 10 at 10/9c *** only on BBC America.
This week, Richard journeys to the dry Mojave Desert where he joins the rarefied air of the Rocket Scientist to help build and prepare a rocket for a 40,000 foot launch.
Then, he's off to the picturesque and hilly city of San Francisco… to attempt the work of a bike messenger: "Downhill is good, downhill I'm liking…"
Jalopnik: Top Gear's Richard Hammond Drove Me Around New York In His Taxi Cab
When they aren't filming the international super hit Top Gear, hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond take some time to work on their own projects. In Hammond's case, it seems those projects involve putting himself through immense levels of stress for Crash Course, his program for BBC America where he has a matter of days to master some of the most intense jobs in America.
He just seems to enjoy a good challenge. And he got one when I joined him in an unairconditioned Manhattan taxi on a blistering July day.
This is our exclusive behind-the-scenes look at The Hamster's new show…

Richard Hammond's Crash Course returns for Season 2 in October 2012
Richard Hammond's Crash Course is back this fall with all new challenges.
Richard Hammond is taken out of his comfort zone to face some of the biggest challenges of his life in the second season of BBC AMERICA's original series Richard Hammond's Crash Course, produced by BBC Worldwide Productions. Season two of Richard Hammond's Crash Course premieres in October 2012.
In season one, viewers saw Hammond traverse the US, joining various job sites to master America's largest and most dangerous vehicles. From learning the positions of a US Army MIA2 Abrams tank at Fort Bliss in Texas, to maneuvering a two-ton wrecking ball in Orlando and The Compactor at the Denver Regional Landfill, Richard Hammond has proven he is a master of machines.
This season, Hammond will immerse himself in uniquely American – often terrifying – vocations. In each episode, he will tackle new, and at times frightening challenges, with less than five days to master each job. Can he conquer his fear of heights and jump from the top of a bridge as a Hollywood stuntman? Will he lose his grip (and suffer a venomous bite) when he takes on the role of a snake handler? From the true grit of a Texas cattle ranch to driving a taxi in New York City, viewers will see Richard Hammond absorb the advice of mentors and attempt to master skills that often take years to learn.
Celebrating first original scripted series, 'Copper,' as well as the 'The Hour,' 'The Nerdist,' 'Richard Hammond's Crash Course,' and the upcoming 'Spies of Warsaw.'

We're happy to report that Richard Hammond's Crash Course will be back for Season Two:
Top Gear's Richard Hammond is returning for the second season of Crash Course, which begins filming this week in Texas. The new eight-episode, 60-minute season, produced by BBC Worldwide Productions for BBC America, will land Hammond in some tight situations.
"This season, we're pulling Richard out of his comfort zone and putting him through the ultimate crash course," reports BBC America. "Hammond will immerse himself in uniquely American – often terrifying – vocations."
In each episode of Season Two, Hammond has less than five days to master his assigned job ranging from conquering his fear of heights and jumping from the top of a bridge as a Hollywood stuntman to mastering his mad skills in a Harlem, NY barber shop. No word on a premiere date for this upcoming season.

Over the years, FOX 9 News has reported on the young men who left the Twin Cities after being recruited by al-Shabaab. In the wake of an attack on a mall in Kenya, local imams are speaking out against the terrorist group.
On Monday, local Somali leaders came together to condemn the violence at the upscale mall in Nairobi. At a press conference held at the largest mosque in Minnesota, Abubakar As-Saddique, local imams delivered a message one would expect to hear -- that this type of violence is unacceptable in Islam and is not condoned. Rather, they preach against it all the time.
"These outrageous acts of violence have no place in Islam," Abdisalam Adam said.
Yet, the Islamic center also has a history linked to the recruitment of young Minnesota men for al-Shabaab. FOX 9's Tom Lyden detailed that history in an investigation last year.
WATCH: The iPod and Jihad: http://youtu.be/EoltXkaJyKY
Five years after the recruitment began, members of the Somali-American community are still reluctant to talk about it openly. Following the attack in Kenya, however, religious leaders didn't hesitate to speak out and offer condolences to the victims.
"They must be hunted and smoked out of their holes, whether they are in Somalia or anyplace else," Ibrahim Baraki said.
Even so, they did not want to talk about the al-Shabaab recruits who once attended the mosque -- including Farah Beledi, a youth volunteer at Abubakar As-Saddique who left to become a suicide bomber just as Shirwah Ahmed and Abdisalan Ali did. A janitor at the mosque, Mahamud Said Omar, was charged in federal court as a key recruiter. A jury convicted him in October last year.
The FBI has publicly identified 18 so-called "travelers" from Minnesota, men who left to fight for al-Shabaab in Somalia; however, law enforcement sources admit there are likely many more.
Although Kenya's foreign minister, Amina Mohamed, told PBS NewsHour that one of the mall attackers is believed to be a Minnesota teen, the FBI is still investigating working to identify the gunmen at the Westgate Mall in Kenya. A Twitter account claiming to speak for al-Shabaab named two Minnesota men as among those involved.
"Those names exist. Addresses exist, but we don't have parents," community activist Abdi Bihi told FOX 9 News.
Bihi believes the parents may be too afraid to come forward, especially since he says the recruitment effort is still happening. He cited an incident as recent as two weeks ago, adding that the focus has shifted from the mosques to private homes.
Just a couple of months ago, al-Shabaab posted a recruitment video to YouTube that features and targets young men from Minnesota. The highly produced, 40-minute pitch, dubbed "The Path to Paradise," chronicles the journey of three Minnesota travelers and praises them as martyrs.
Americans are attractive recruits for al-Shabaab because they provide a practical advantage to the terrorist group. American passports are more widely accepted across the globe, which could make al-Shabaab a global threat.
The timing of the attack is also noteworthy, because al-Shabaab was believed to be on the defensive. It's power was supposed to be waning amid enormous infighting. Many national security experts believe the attack in Kenya was carried out by the foreign-based al-Shabaab members -- the so-called Mujahadeen -- as a way to impress al Qaeda.

Nelson, Kuhn, McMillian not practicing FridayPosted by on November 2, 2012 – 11:52 am
WR Jordy Nelson and FB John Kuhn were not on the practice field on Friday during the portion of the workout open to the media. Mike McCarthy said earlier in the week that Nelson and Kuhn, who are both nursing hamstring injuries, might practice on Friday, but their absence puts their status for Sunday's game in serious doubt.
Also, S Jerron McMillian was only observing practice on Friday but was not doing any drills. McMillian has not been on the injury report all week, so he'll have to be added today. If McMillian is unable to play on Sunday, and with Charles Woodson already out, the Packers would have to turn to CB Jarrett Bush as the dime defensive back when the defense goes to six DBs.
McCarthy will have the final injury update after practice.

No Kuhn spells big trouble come Sunday. Our D is gonna have to turn it up a notch.

Let's go Pack! 6-3 on Sunday, followed by a well earned recovery during the Bye, and an uptick stride going forward.

We need a real running back!!!! Green is not the answer. He is biult like a back and cant make anyone miss!!! We are in trouble if we keep using him cause teams will keep playing cover Two!!!!! Its no rocket science!!! Green is just not good!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!

Spell ck sorry!!! He is NOT built like a running back!!!! Green that is!!! I just cant figure out what they saw in him???

I worry about our offense with no Nelson and no Jennings plus our O line will struggle to block Dockett,Campbell and Daryl Washington. Hope we can scrape this one out.

Alex Green is 6'0 225 lbs with a 4.45 40 yard dash a 34″ vertical and 20 reps of 225 lbs benchpress if that isnt built like a RB then quit playing Madden and watch real football. And just so you know you dont cut a 3rd round pick from 2 years ago for reasons like not being built like a RB. Guys like you would have dropped Aaron Rodgers when he couldnt stay healthy for his first 3 years at Green Bay how stupid would that have been. Just try to think of a Ted Thompson draft pick that fell thru. He knows football let him do his job you go back to selling insurance.

Pray to God Kuhn or Jordy Plays Or 6-3 could be much harder than it sounds with this site over-promoting this Cardinals defense . I mean, you would have to have some huge juebos to sit those two out. If they are out, OMG, that spells trouble epecially when they could'nt get anything going last week againt the worst team in the league in offense. And maybe defense. And they were w/o those two. If you want to increase your chance of LOSING, dont play John Kuhn Or Jordy Nelson. You'll see!!
By Don on Nov 2, 2012 | Reply
This site also over rates our own team. Why did they keep Green? They saw him rinning against our defense and lets face it, we haven't been that good the past couple years. Last year our d was a disaster even though Vic and the boys kept telling us they be better by playoff time. it just didn't happen.
By Don on Nov 2, 2012 | Reply
that ia supposed to be "runnunig" not rinning
By Matt on Nov 2, 2012 | Reply
Alex Green isnt the answer at RB for the packers! But i dont think we give up on him. He needs more time you have to remember this real his rookie year with missing most of all of last year with the knee injury. I miss Benson he was killing it for us. All i want is a running back who can rush for 100 yards in a single game again
By Rick on Nov 2, 2012 | Reply
Alex Green isn't supposed to be the "answer" at running back. He's here to be a third down and change of pace guy. The answer for now lies somewhere between getting Starks up to speed and some more consistent blocking. Newhouse does NOT look good.
By Rick on Nov 2, 2012 | Reply
Kuhn and Nelson should not play Sunday with the bye coming. Hamstrings will nag guys all season long if they don't heal properly. The Packers need to find a way to win with a crippled offense. Arizona has NO offense and the D needs to throttle them and get a couple of big takeaways. Special teams need to be sharp. Crosby needs to make kicks.A game like this one tops the list of wins that do not need to be pretty.
By Matt on Nov 2, 2012 | Reply
I couldnt agree with you Rick with Newhouse! He should not be starting at LT. I dont understand why the packers think he is good LT! he gets killed week in and week out
By james on Nov 3, 2012 | Reply
We still have Green,Crabtree,Jones,Cobb,Driver,Finley,Boykin,Starks,Brad Jones,Hawk,Mathews,Walden,Heyward,Newhouse,Manning,Burnett,Bush,Moses,Rodgers, and many more quality players to earn the Win. I'm confident they can do it. Go Pack Go!

EmilyEm said:
Leo King is about to enter his senior year at Peninsula High School in Charleston, SC. Dr. King, his principal, Joyce scholar and mother, gives him an assignment one summer day—Bloomsday—to meet the new African American football coach and his son, tell three runaways at the orphanage about the high school they'll attend, welcome the new family across the street, including twins, with cookies he'll bake and meet his parents for lunch at the yacht club to meet two more kids, part of Charleston's elite, who'll join him for his senior year. South of Broad, a reference to those from the privileged end of Charleston, follows these kids and their triumphs and tragedies for the next 20 years. It's also the story of Leo's very Catholic family and the impact his brother Stephen's death has on all of them. A beautiful ode to Charleston from the end of the 1960s through the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo. You are immersed in a place of great beauty and southern sensibility—to Conroy and Leo a place like no other. The story verges on melodrama but Conroy keeps it together and his writing just stays true to what story we're being told, a little like 'Gone with the Wind!' Good storytelling, good characters.

- Exceeded expectationsmarkdimoDined on 9/20/2014Seated promptly. Dinner service was very good; informed server and just the right amount of personality. Food quality was outstanding; tasty, creative and great value. Will definitely be back.Special Features:
- Top shelf dininglockestepDined on 9/20/2014Elegant dining room sets the tone for the attentive service and outstanding cuisine. The wine list is extensive, but the real plus for me was the quality of the by-the-glass pours. We were dealing with mismatched entrees and ended up ordering a good quality Pinot and high quality white Burgundy. Both suited the food well. We are adding this to our regular rotation and hope to visit again for the fall menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply spectacularFormerChescoCommishVIPDined on 9/16/2014Don't miss the crab bisque! It is velvety smooth with generous chucnks of sweet backfin crabmeat. Everything else is good too -- but the crab bisque is somethng truly special.Special Features:
- Krazy Kat's Not Really CrazysmallplateloverDined on 9/11/2014Don't let the name and "unusual" decor lead you astray. This is an elegant restaurant with upscale food. There are two prices on the menu -- for a small portion and a large portion. We found the small portions perfect for us, but many would find them too skimpy. If you take the small portion, it's not expensive, but the large portion doubles the price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 5QreviewDined on 9/11/2014There were five of us for lunch. This is a good place to go if you are at Winterthur. The atmosphere is whimsical and the food was quite good. However, the experience was diminished by very poor service. After waiting at least five minutes we were offered drinks. They came out slowly. Our lunch was even slower. Our waitress then disappeared and we never saw her again. We were never offered coffee or dessert. I finally asked a passing woman for a check, which was wrong. We were charged $8.00 for a tomato juice cocktail. I would give the restaurant another try and hope for better service next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Initially disappointed.TinkDined on 9/10/2014Ambiance, food, service all very appealing. We had chosen Krazy Kats because we thought it was included on the week long Brandywine Restaurant week.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday BrunchScottdc26Dined on 9/7/2014Great food and service in a relaxed atmosphere. I have been to Krazy Kats for dinner and lunch. It was my first time for brunch. Any time we are in the area we make it a point to dine at Krazy KatsSpecial Features:
- Delicious foodAnnieDined on 9/7/2014My sister & I had brunch which was absolutely delicious! The service was courteous & knowledgeable. The lighting in the room was a little too dark, but the waitress placed us near the enclosed porch, so we benefitted from that light. We loved the décor. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience.Special Features:
- First Experience was AwesomeMc7220Dined on 9/6/2014This was our first time and we chose to do breakfast. It was such a wonderful experience! We were there quite a while but I think that is how they set up the experience... to be relaxing, to enjoy your family time, and enjoy the scenery outside the window ("stop and smell the roses"). The staff was very polite and friendly. We also could tell each plate was handled individually with a lot of care (and very generous portions) and that too is why it took longer than first expected. We didn't care, had no where to be and enjoyed every bit of our time there! The food was Phenomenal!!!! We cannot wait to return again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FUN AND DIFFERENT, CHIC!CarmelinVIPDined on 9/5/2014The building, restaurant and decoration are special in a fun and nice way, food is good and they have half portions or adapt any part of the menu to your liking. Service is outstanding, wine list is very good too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JaneDined on 9/4/2014Their signature dish, the crab bisque, was fabulous. Best I have ever had. The presentation of the food was beautiful. The serving people were very efficient and polite. Their were 4 of us in our party and we each had a different entree. All of them were terrific. The duck breast was a standout. We loved the decor of the restaurant.Special Features:
- Good as alwaysJustjackVIPDined on 8/29/2014The food was great, but we think it's time to add more padding to the chairs. The seats in the dining room become uncomfortable after awhile. That detracts from a leisurely dinner.Special Features:
- Another great dinner.DCB12VIPDined on 8/29/2014Dine here at least twice a month. It was fantastic like always. I wish the chef would bring back the pork belly appetizer tho !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth Looking ForOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014Lunch menu is varied and delicious.....desserts in particular spectacular! The lunch soup/sandwich combo was extremely reasonable in price and outstanding in both quality of food and presentation. Our only challenge was finding the restaurant as it is nestled in the village.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Not What It Used To BeOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/1/2014Krazy kats has always been my favorite lunch spot until this past Friday (August 1). All 3 of us agreed that the food at this restaurant has goner downhill. My crab cakes were dry. My friend's sandwich was on an untoasted English muffin. The third friend's fillet was raw and tasteless. On a bright note, though, the desserts were excellent.Special Features:
- Dinner is even betterfoodieinthemakingDined on 7/31/2014We had lunch there last week and dinner this week. It is a wonderful place to dine. The pace was perfect, not rushed and of course the food is excellent. It was a very relaxing evening with great food, drinks, and ambience. You couldn't ask for a nicer place to celebrate a birthday.Special Features:
- XXXXXXXXXVIPDined on 7/26/2014HAVE DINED THERE MANY TIMES ALWAYS EXCELLENT VER GOOD SERVICESpecial Features:
- Dinner EntreeeasternshoregalDined on 7/26/2014I was very disappointed with the dinner entree. Being a native of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, I had high hopes for the crab cakes, but found them lacking. There was an after-taste, which I originally contributed to my adding too much salt. However, when I sampled the second crab cake, without the salt, the after-taste still existed. My sister, who had the same entree, voiced the same opinion. I have had excellent lunches at the restaurant, which is why I chose the restaurant and wanted to my visiting sister to have a pleasant dining experience. However, it didn't turn out that way. Very hesitant to return.Special Features:
- Great Lunch!foodieinthemakingDined on 7/25/2014We took our nephew for lunch and it was a wonderful first experience for him. Loved the ambience in the solarium. The food was excellence and so was the service. We will be back for dinner.Special Features:
- KristenDined on 7/8/2014Beautiful restaurant! Our server was very nice, although it was a new menu and she hadn't rated anything yet. I still admire her honesty. We ordered the cheese plate which was amazing!! For dinner I got the lobster and it slightly overcooked. Overall great experience and would recommendSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- was better with the previous menuShallonDined on 7/8/2014The food changed in the menu and they tried to be super fancy but the sweet potatoe was not good the filet was good but I literally had the 3oz filet with the 2 pieces of squash. They charge allot but if it's not great you leave hungry. Price is fine about 50 a person no alcohol which is fine if good. They had flues and fruit flies. Lobster claw rubbery.Special Features:
- Dining at the KatsMcbeeDined on 7/7/2014Wonderful menu .The chef at the restaurant continues to amaze a diner s palate.The duck crepes are inspired.Special Features:
- HUGE Disappoinytment!DWBDWDDined on 7/3/2014After all the good reviews we were severely let down. First off the place is way to dark without reason -- if lights are that low then use decent candles. Service only fair since we had to ask what the two prices per item meant -- figured smaller or larger portion but waitress didn't know/guessed size differences. Crabcakes supposedly from MD crab were without flavor -- had to put herb butter from the pumpernickel roll (good) on the crab to give them any flavor -- if MD crab it must have been frozen and frozen a long time ago. Steak was decent -- nothing special. Brownie was super -- the chocolate and moistness was the best. Carrot cake was a contrived thing that after we said wan not good the waitress agreed it was not her favorite.
- nice evening outscottDined on 7/1/2014special occasion and it was a very nice evening service was very good, staff were great nice wine selection and actually reasonably priced food was fresh but the preparation and flavor combinations a bit off I thought paella was tasty but very odd preparation, with broth in the bowl and lacking sausage, not bad but not as expected - more like boiled rice, broth and seafood and ham in a stew than classic paella venison was a very nice filet but sauces didn't really compliment and the chard concoction was not a plus overall, lovely time as always.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2002Dined on 6/30/2014It is a lovely restaurant and the food is delicious. Too bad there is not outside dining or bar, the gardens are so pretty and secluded. The restaurant is certainly a gem.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great food so so serviceslowwwwDined on 6/29/2014I noticed waitres t the other table offering choices of toast and telling diners about the daily specials. Our waitress did not do that and was kind of un attentive. Our drinks were empty for a while and we had to ask the bus boy to ask our waitress for refills. Service was not great, but food was phenominal, so I would go again.Special Features:
- Good lunch spotOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/27/2014Great for a lunch get together but yo need to book. Not cheap but food is really worth the prices.Special Features:
- Special meal at a special placeAnnieBVIPDined on 6/26/2014As always, the food and service at Krazy Kat's were top-notch. Highly recommended. Their menu is apparently about to change from Spring to Summer, so we intend to go back and sample the new seasonal offerings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SlippingSomtigaDined on 6/24/2014Have eaten here many times in the past.Service was always excellent and the food good. This time,there was a new and less interesting menu, the food was done well but would not have been a first choice on the old menu. Service was sub par compared to our past visits. The person seating us didn't pull out the chair for my wife nor did he give us our napkins and handed out the menus as an afterthought . Our waitress made several mistakes, giving us unordered food and forgetting other items. Even the pre-dinner cocktail wasn't up to previous standards.It's always a pleasure to dine there, but this wasn't up to their standards. It was like we picked a night when all the help was new and not quite up to snuffSpecial Features:

One of the AVG components that is probably least understood and causes most confusion is LinkScanner. What does it do? Does it scan webpages, compare URLs against some blacklist, ask the cloud, or what? Actually it partially does all of these things, but the most important piece is the first one.
As you may know, there are currently around 30,000 new viruses and other malware hitting antivirus researchers' labs each and every day. And most of them spread via the web. The web is really the primary 'attack vector' – or distribution medium – for modern malware. But for all these viruses, there are just a few hundred ways for them to attack your computer – infecting your system without you knowing it – either by misusing some bug in the operating system or by using some tricks to persuade you to install the malware (you can read about some of the most interesting tricks in Roger Thompson's blog). This is the aspect of malware detection that LinkScanner is based on. It scans web page content as that content is delivered to your computer and identifies delivery mechanism patterns that indicate potential malware delivery. When it identifies something suspicious, it blocks that page. The beauty of this approach is that LinkScanner does not have to know the virus itself – it blocks the attack no matter what new malware the page is trying to deliver to you! This way, even new variants of rogue spyware products, fake codecs and other similar 'tricks' cannot harm your computer. LinkScanner is installed on the network layer, intercepting all web traffic regardless of which browser you use and detecting threats before the browser sees anything. That makes it even more effective.
Some people think that, if they use a blacklist of "known-bad" web sites, they are safe and don't need LinkScanner. Unfortunately, they are wrong. Most web threats are served from web sites that exist for less than one day – and often for only a few hours. Even more sneakily, some infected web pages serve malicious content only to certain site visitors, for example only users from particular areas. The bad guys will try anything to avoid detection. But since LinkScanner evaluates the real content of the web page right when it is delivered to your computer, it cannot be tricked in this way. Yet another reason to use
Another LinkScanner myth is that some people think it actually visits the web page to scan it, which would enable it to be easily identified by malicious code on the web page and spoofed. This is also not true – LinkScanner is installed on the client computer and scans incoming traffic. So the web request comes from the browser and LinkScanner only monitors what has been delivered. There's no additional traffic and no way for the malware to tell if the client has LinkScanner installed or not.
As you can see, LinkScanner is pretty powerful technology. With modern threats, one technology and one protection layer is not sufficient; LinkScanner serves as a very solid extra layer in the overall AVG security system.

2010: The Year of New Beginnings
Like Monica Wright, I started off this post with the intention of reviewing some the largest changes in search this year. The deeper I got into it, the more I realized the following: is there anything really meaningful in this? Isn't this the same information that's been reiterated several times already (i.e. Google Caffeine, SERP Changes, the MASSIVE local updates, etc.)? That post? That post is to remain forever in Drafts Purgatory, never to see the light of day.
And, so, because we're all on the cusp of a new year, why should I feel bound to the same old-same old? Why continue to plod along the same worn out path when a new trail is just begging to be worn in? Just as the personal is political, so to the personal is business. A lot has happened this year; some of it great, some of it left scars, and some of it teachable moments.
Learning To Be Political
It's not really a secret. I'm an opinionated person. I have strong views to match a strong intestinal fortitude. And, this year taught me how to lessen the juggernaut in me and learn to meet people halfway. (Well, about as halfway as I can stomach :-) ) But, don't mistake this for a personality alteration. It's not. It's simply a matter of stepping outside the situation, outside of yourself, for a few moments getting the landscape.
It's been the hardest thing to discover and adopt this year. But, in the end, it's served me well. It's helped with personal relationships and business relationships alike. It's helped right the path of conversations and situations before they dove into an uncontrollable tailspin.
Doing What You Love is Still Work
You've heard it before, "When you're doing something you love, it's never work." That's nonsense. It's work even if you love it. We just tolerate it more because we love it. When you really decided to get moving in a direction (i.e. start a business or get a business rolling) it takes a level of sweat equity that most people can't even fathom.
You'll work from sun-up to sun-down. It'll cause new tensions and conflicts in your family that never existed before. There will be many moments when you think none of this is worth it. And, that's where LOVE comes in; both from the personal and the work. When you love it, you bear it, because you couldn't imagine doing anything else, nor would you want to. And, when the people around you love you, they understand and make allowances for work-a-holic behavior. And, when you love them, you know when you need to ease of the throttle and just be a Dad, a husband, a friend.
Making Connections and Being Social
Right. That sounds odd even to me, but it's a kind of social that exists outside Facebook and Twitter. It's a social that never came easy to me. And still doesn't. Actually networking, actually talking to another human being. I can say that push, and my continual pushing, to break my "comfort zone" has made me a better person. It helps in making and creating new business opportunities.
It was really something to take these Twitter relationships and have a few of them turn into friendships and opportunities.
Learning to Take Care of Me
For those that know me, they know I'll contort myself into a pretzel to help someone. No matter the situation, no matter the cost. This year I learned to take care of me. I learned how to say, "No". It's saved me insanity and hurt feelings. It's one of those life lessons that was hard to learn but necessary to learn. It doesn't mean I was a curmudgeon or a scrooge, it just means being judicious and not allowing others to monopolize or take advantage or me. I'd urge everyone to learn this one thing going into 2011.
On a personal note, I just want to thank everyone in search marketing community for a wonderful 2010. Without question this year is has been one hell of a roller coaster ride and I expect that it will be only that much more fun in coming year. Everyone have a safe, fun-filled, wine/beer-soaked New Year! See you in 2011!
Type A SEOs: Lapdog Heroes
The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him. The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself; therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
- George Bernard Shaw
It's a rarity that I lead anything off with a quote; it's cliche and uninspired most times. But today is the exception because that quote address the situation perfectly. We know that SEOs come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities. But, today, I'm going to focus on one particular brand of SEO: The Lapdog Hero.
What's The SEO Lapdog Hero?
It's a special breed of Type A SEO. First let's look at some of the common Type A personality traits:
- Competitive (more toward the hyper-competitive end of things)
- Strong Achievement-Orientation
- Blunt (i.e. pulls no punches)
- Aggressive and impatient
- Rude or sarcastic
- Likely to be a "Work-a-holic"
- Perfectionist
- Realist (usually cast as pessimistic attitudes)
Are You a Tremendous Asset or PITA?
The Lapdog Hero is at once the most tremendous asset a company has, and is also the biggest pain in the ass a company can have. I know because I am one. And, without a doubt, I align with a majority of the characteristics in the trait list above. Chances are pretty good that if you're an SEO, you're Type A personality. Because, let's be honest, we live in an industry that never sleeps. And, if you aren't a Type A, it's a difficult task to do what we do and be great at it.
Clearly, to suggest that extraneous social factors or specific nurture factors don't play a role in shaping the adjacent traits would be short-sighted. It does. Many times our adjacent traits, at least in my case, are leaned on more heavily in a work environment in order to be tolerated by others. But it's akin to a coping mechanism; they don't last and cracks in your armor come through.
Why I am Telling You All This?
Certainly, it's less for us (we know who we are and have accepted that about ourselves), but those around us. Most SEOs are I know are brilliant, generous, Salt-of-the-Earth types, but competitive, driven machines. Nothing is ever tackled in a half-assed, half-measured way. Ever. You get 100% of us: bullshit and brilliance together. The hard-charging, driven machine that has a very sharp "my way or the highway" mentality.
It is the Type A personality traits that corporations/bosses love. We are the ultimate soldiers of fortune. Ask yourself this question: when something has to get done, has to get done to perfection, and has to get done quickly, who do they call on? Yep, you guessed it. You. Because they know you'll eat whatever they've given you alive, and ask for seconds. Because you are clutch; because, like it or not, you are the Alpha. Things gets done, and done well. You are the Lapdog Hero. Called upon when needed to fill a massive void and winning out.
There is a reason only a few industries are jam-packed with Alphas (i.e. search marketing, medical doctors, lawyers, etc), because that's what it takes to be successful. Anything cut of another cloth withers and dies.
When the Job is Done?
This is where the PITA part comes into play. You are not supposed to be you all the time, just one of those unwritten codes in the corporate play book that most of learn the hard way. You are supposed to revert your entire being to something other than the Alpha you are. The bottom-line: go back to be being a submissive until your are called upon again.
Then the trouble starts. Mediocrity exists everywhere and Alphas/Type A's love nothing more than to fix, correct, and abolish mediocrity. If it doesn't work right now, then there's no reason, in our minds, that it can't work right. Then moment you get feisty and/or refuse to accept the status quo, is the moment everyone that's not like you tells you to sit down, shut up, and do as you are told. Don't rock the boat and just deal with it.
Therein lies the problem. We can't just shut it off. We can't just sit by, be lackadaisical, settle for half-assed, and be content puppies. We are the harbingers of change, and change is always a violent endeavor. That's where we thrive: high stress, high pressure, constraints. When it seems insurmountable, that's where we shine. And that's we are tolerated in the workplace; we do what no one else will do or touch. And, we kick its ass. Hence the phrase: Lapdog Hero.
A Dying Breed and Dealing With Us
We're still around, we "unreasonable" people as Shaw calls us. But we're far an few between. I don't want to say that people enjoy being mushy, gooey, and are just satisfied with "good enough", but the older I get the more prevalent it becomes. It only serves to make me more unreasonable.
Dealing with us isn't easy, I'll be the first to admit that. And, we do try hard to keep our most intolerable, ferocious instincts at bay in order to "play nice" in the corporate sandbox. But, the rest of the world has to give us a break and cut us some slack. We're honest with everyone because we know there's enough greasiness in world. It's refreshing. We drive hard in everything we do because we only have two gears: 100 MPH and Off. We want to be the best at everything we do because not being the best is just a waste of time (that doesn't mean we don't fail. We do A LOT of that. We just drive harder the next time.)
So the next time you're annoyed with us, just come back to this post. Take a deep breath and cut us a break on our "over-bearing" attitudes, our outlandish snark, our brutal honesty, our what-have-you.
In Memory of Steven William Verre. I love you. I miss you.
The SEO Dream is Dead. Or is It?
Lisa Barone has done it to me again. Her latest post on Outspoken Media's Blog, "Why Bloggers Should Put Up, Shut Up & Pay Their Tax", created another fever-pitch of comments. I'm not going to craft a reply post because, frankly, the comments on that post are all the discussion and reply anyone will ever need. But there was a very striking comment made by Alan Bleiweiss that resonated deeply with me: creating and building something out of the ashes.
There were a lot comments that suggested investing money into a business, putting your life-force into it, and grinding the pavement to dust were the true testaments to ensuring your business survived.
It's something I've been thinking a lot about, having started a business last year. You can't fight the entrepreneurial spirit, but there is always a time when you question the decision. Did I make the right choice? Can this business live, breathe, and succeed? After thinking about it, my honest, gut answer, is that the SEO entrepreneur is a lot like a restaurant owner; over 50% are going to fail within the first three years [1].
That SEO Dream is Dead, Kid.
Like it or not, it's a reality. And, please don't misunderstand, I'm am not saying SEO is dead. SEO is alive and well. I really do believe that the idea of an pure SEO shop is dead. Just look at the search marketing landscape a moment.
1) The Exponential Growth of SEO as an Industry
In the last three years, everyone is trying to capitalize on the SEO game. The market has exploded into stratosphere. So when I hear comments, that it's all about passion, talent, and sweat-equity that will all but guarantee success, I have to shake my head a bit. Look, there's is absolutely no substitute for those qualities. If you aren't mentally prepared to dive in head-first, then turn around now. But the landscape is drastically different from where it was ten years ago. Hell, even five years ago, when SEO was just this thing "geeks" did.
Now a company is facing everyone and anyone who's ever read a blog about SEO. Now a company is facing overseas outsourcing at a fraction of the cost. Now a company is facing traditional agencies building out "digital" arms of their business in order to cash in and feign relevance.
2) SEO Isn't Enough Anymore
Another sad, but true, fact. Personally I think SEO is a lot more than just keywords and links, and that it is the core to building a great website that produces great content and converts. Something I've said for a long time now, an SEO must be capable and fluent in everything search marketing. Specialties are dead for the consuming public. They want one-stop-shops that can combine SEO, paid search, social media, and conversion optimization to create aggressive strategies. Whether they listen or not is a question unto itself.
Ten years to fifteen years ago, SEO lone gun men/women (Aaron Wall, Rae Hoffman, David Harry, Greg Boser, Meg Geddes (a.k.a. Netmeg), etc.) were the standard. Small, niche groups of people who studied and experimented to hone their craft. And, really, it's all you needed. With the web making breakthrough after breakthrough, crushing barriers at the speed of sound, even the lone gun men/women adopted and incorporated the other search marketing channels.
3) Super-Groups: The New SEM Assassin
If you were lucky enough to get in on the first few floors of this SEM industry, then creating and securing a reputation was easier. I didn't say it wasn't ball-busting, grinding work. It's hard work to convince people that you can help build them a better website that ranks better in search engines. Especially with something so foreign.
It was simply easier. Less competition. Less people competing for the bullhorn. A more connected community; warriors of the same ilk. It existed and so did they; an easy match. Fast-forward ten years, and everyone is a SEO/SEM expert. Shouting to be heard. Elbowing their way to the fifteen second spotlight, only to fade to oblivion moments later. Because of the proliferation of our service, our knowledge, profit-centers splinter thousands of ways now, instead of hundreds. No one can make any money.
Of course there are those that all the stars lined up and they caught lightning in a bottle. But that's the absolute exception, not the rule. Much like that sweet American Dream: the true Horatio Alger legend; rags to riches. Instead of settling for a quarter of the business, why not get fifty percent or more by creating a super-group?
Expect to start seeing the most talented SEMs/SEOs in the game congealing to form a powerhouse SEM group. It's already happening (i.e. Blueglass Inc. and Outspoken Media). These super-groups offer the best talent, a wide variety of specialties, and have an existing client base to ward off the new company doldrums. I have the utmost respect for those two companies and the people associated with them, but I have no illusions that I could compete with them. Economies of scale. More manpower to throw at something within days than I could muster in months.
It's the next phase of the SEM industry.
Or Maybe It Isn't Dead?
Maybe there is still hope for the small SEO company? People working out of one room buildings and in-home offices building respectable client lists and knocking out dynamite work? Maybe we all catch lightning in a bottle a few times in this lifetime and it up to us to know what to do with it?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yotta is the largest unit prefix in the International System of Units (SI), denoting a factor of 1024 or 1000000000000000000000000. It has the unit symbol Y. The prefix name is derived from the Greek οκτώ (októ), meaning eight, because it is equal to 10008. It was added to the SI in 1991.[1]
Usage examples:
- The mass of the Earth is 5972.6 Yg.[2][3]
- The mass of the oceans is about 1.4 Yg.[4]
- The total power output of the Sun is approximately 385 YW.[5]
- The observable universe is estimated to be 880 Ym in diameter.[6]
- A 200 ml glass of water contains 6.66 Y water molecules.
- One yottabyte is a unit of information or computer storage that is approximately 1.2 septillion bytes. [7]

Vallejo water customers are encouraged to voluntarily modify their water use habits and adopt higher water efficiency practices.
These are uncertain times with regard to the City's drinking water supply. With California facing serious water shortfalls statewide, Governor Brown has proclaimed a State of Emergency and directed state officials to take all necessary actions to prepare for drought conditions. As a result the State Water Resources Control Board, charged with administering California's water rights system, is urging water users to conserve and use water wisely. The Board is closely monitoring water availability and may act in the near future to limit or stop diversions of water based on priority.
The City of Vallejo currently uses two surface water sources for its drinking water (no groundwater sources). The City's total surface water entitlement, from all sources, exceeds 43,000 acre feet annually. System outflows typically average half that amount at around 20,000 acre feet per year.
Althouth the City has not utilized a significant amount of its annual water entitlement, the State Water Board retains oversight and use authority of nearly 66% (or 28,000 acre feet) of the City's annual water allocation that is delivered from the Sacramento River via the North Bay Aqueduct.
The remaining 34% of the City's annual water entitlement (or 14,600 acre feet) is accessed locally through conveyance systems tied to the Solano Project/Lake Berryessa, and administered through the Solano Water Agency.
While the availability of the Solano Project water coming to Vallejo from Lake Berryessa is assured this year, the State has notified water service providers that water deliveries through the North Bay Aqueduct could be completely curtailed if dry conditions continue into the summer months. If this happens, the City of Vallejo will lose its single largest source of drinking water.
In preparation for this potential reduction in water availability, on March 4th, 2014 the Vallejo City Council unanimously approved an emergency water pipeline upgrade project that will increase raw water flows from the Putah South Canal Terminal Reservoir (Solano Project/Lake Berryessa water) in Cordelia and into Vallejo's water treatment plant.
The project consists of replacing 4,000 linear feet of 24-inch pipe with 42-inch pipe from the line that connects the Putah South Canal Terminal Reservoir to the Fleming Hill Water Treatment Plant in Vallejo. This project is extremely time sensitive because the replacement must be completed before the State stops all water deliveries from the North Bay Aqueduct, which is possible if drought conditions continue.
The Public Works Water Division began replacing the pipe on Thursday, April 17th 2014 and anticipates the completion of the project by May.
Check out the picture below to see how much pipe has been replaced to date! The red portion indicates how much of the pipeline has been installed.
