Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald: Nervous, confident in team heading into Week 1
Larry Fitzgerald will not dwell on what happened last season, nor will he forget it.
As the receiver embarks on his 10th NFL season -- all with the Arizona Cardinals -- the seven-time Pro Bowler said last season's struggles do not serve as any kind of motivation now. Instead, he just wants to move on.
"When you look in the rearview mirror it's hard for you to see what's going on in front of you," he said after practice Thursday. "Obviously I'm aware of what happened last year and I don't ever want to repeat last year, I don't want to repeat the past.
"Moving forward, I have to focus on what's asked of from my teammates and my coaching staff, and I can't give them my complete focus thinking about stuff like that."
What happened last season was well-documented.
Fitzgerald had arguably the worst season of his career, tallying just 71 receptions for 798 yards and four touchdowns. The reception and yardage totals were the lowest since his rookie season, and the four scores were a career-worst mark.
But that was last year.
This year begins, officially, Sunday as the Cardinals head to St. Louis to take on the Rams. And, Fitzgerald admitted, he's nervous.
"The nerves make you realize that you're human, we're all looking forward to it," Fitzgerald said. "It's a great opportunity, a division opponent, a team that played the best amongst division opponents last year.
"It's going to be a great challenge for us."
But, it's one he feels the team is ready for.
"I feel like we're in a pretty good position," he said of the offense, noting that the team must improve in the red zone but feels like they have and will show it in the regular season. "We need to be clicking on all cylinders; when we have our opportunities we need to capitalize."

This week, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ: Charts, News) CEO Meg Whitman compared the ailing PC maker to coffee giant Starbucks (SBUX: Charts, News), claiming that HP will rise again from the brink of extinction, just as Starbucks did over the past five years. The comparison was widely quoted and mocked as lofty rhetoric, and called unwanted attention to HP's serious fundamental flaws. Since the dismissal of CEO Mark Hurd, widely regarded as the turnaround leader of HP, shares of HP have plunged 46% in less than two years. During these two years, HP has already been led by two new CEOs - Leo Apotheker and Meg Whitman - who have failed to shore up a defense against Apple (AAPL: Charts, News) or its other Wintel competitors. Daily Chart At the end of May, HP won some investor approval when it announced that it would lay off 27,000 employees, or 8% of its global workforce, to cut costs by $3 billion to $3.5 billion per year. The cuts are intended to "enable investments in strategic, higher-growth areas," such as cloud computing, software and data servers, noted ISI analyst Brian Marshall. However, the company's second quarter profits still slid 31% to $1.6 billion, or 80 cents per share, from the previous year. Revenue dipped 3% to $30.7 billion. Although these topped analysts' pessimistic estimates on both the top and bottom lines, the results failed to attract new investors. HP's enterprise, printer and services groups were also dragging the company down, drawing unfavorable comparisons to its besieged industry peer, Dell (DELL: Charts, News). Heavy exposure to Europe also dampened analyst expectations for the current quarter. With its core competencies being threatened by smartphones and tablets, Whitman's comparison of her company to Starbucks seems off the mark. In 2008, Starbucks' returning CEO Howard Schultz revived the company by eliminating the company's side businesses - such as music CDs, books and gifts - and focusing on the company's core competency - high-priced, quality coffee. HP, on the other hand, has lost strength in its core competency - desktops and laptops - which have become such unprofitable liabilities that Leo Apotheker attempted to divest of both during his short, stormy reign. Whitman told investors that like Starbucks, HP would need approximately five years to turn around. "Usually these kinds of turnarounds take anywhere between four or five years," stated Whitman. "There's nothing fancy about these turnarounds. This is not advanced business, this is 101." Whitman was widely criticized for this statement. Many analysts believe that this is indicative of Whitman's belief that HP needs to get back to the basics, as Starbucks did, to start growing again. Analysts and investors, though, have a different theory. In 2010, Apple's seminal iPad disrupted the entire desktop, laptop and netbook businesses. The subsequent torrent of Android tablets further eroded global demand for Wintel machines. Although Dell, during its first quarter earnings announcement, acknowledged the need for a viable tablet to remain competitive, Whitman has yet to admit that tablets are a credible threat to HP's aging business model. While Whitman is eager to compare HP to Starbucks, bearish analysts are unfavorably comparing the troubled PC maker - still the largest in the world - to the likes of Eastman Kodak, Yahoo (YHOO: Charts, News), Research in Motion (RIMM: Charts, News) or Nokia (NOK: Charts, News). Although HP, with a market cap of $44 billion, is unlikely to fade away anytime soon, the company will have to evolve its business, as IBM (IBM: Charts, News) did in 2005, when it sold its personal computer business to Lenovo. Like IBM, HP will have to focus on higher margin, non-hardware businesses if it wishes to stay relevant in the coming decade. Shares of HP are fundamentally undervalued, trading at 5 times forward earnings, with a 5-year PEG ratio of 1.5. The company pays a quarterly dividend of 13 cents per share.

With a single drug treatment, researchers at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine can silence the mutated gene responsible for Huntington's disease, slowing and partially reversing progression of the fatal neurodegenerative disorder in animal models.The findings are published in the June 21, 2012 print issue of the journal Neuron.Researchers suggest the drug therapy, tested in mouse and non-human primate models, could produce sustained motor and neurological benefits in human adults with moderate and severe forms of the disorder. Currently, there is no effective treatment.Huntington's disease afflicts approximately 30,000 Americans, whose symptoms include uncontrolled movements and progressive cognitive and psychiatric problems. The disease is caused by the mutation of a single gene, which results in the production and accumulation of toxic proteins throughout the brain.Don W. Cleveland, PhD, professor and chair of the UC San Diego Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine and head of the Laboratory of Cell Biology at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, and colleagues infused mouse and primate models of Huntington's disease with one-time injections of an identified DNA drug based on antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs). These ASOs selectively bind to and destroy the mutant gene's molecular instructions for making the toxic huntingtin protein.The singular treatment produced rapid results. Treated animals began moving better within one month and achieved normal motor function within two. More remarkably, the benefits persisted, lasting nine months, well after the drug had disappeared and production of the toxic proteins had resumed."For diseases like Huntington's, where a mutant protein product is tolerated for decades prior to disease onset, these findings open up the provocative possibility that transient treatment can lead to a prolonged benefit to patients," said Cleveland. "This finding raises the prospect of a 'huntingtin holiday,' which may allow for clearance of disease-causing species that might take weeks or months to re-form. If so, then a single application of a drug to reduce expression of a target gene could 'reset the disease clock,' providing a benefit long after huntingtin suppression has ended."Beyond improving motor and cognitive function, researchers said the ASO treatment also blocked brain atrophy and increased lifespan in mouse models with a severe form of the disease. The therapy was equally effective whether one or both huntingtin genes were mutated, a positive indicator for human therapy.Cleveland noted that the approach was particularly promising because antisense therapies have already been proven safe in clinical trials and are the focus of much drug development. Moreover, the findings may have broader implications, he said, for other "age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases that develop from exposure to a mutant protein product" and perhaps for nervous system cancers, such as glioblastomas.

National Book Award winner and three-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Alice McDermott's first novel in seven years was definitely worth the wait. Someone is a thoughtful and heartbreaking look at one extraordinarily ordinary woman. Marie is first introduced to readers as a child of the 1930s, living amongst the Irish-American population of Brooklyn, awaiting the return of her beloved father from work. In this simple sketch, McDermott is able to immediately detail Marie's community and family. In a non-linear framework, the stories which make Marie's life are slowly pieced together much like mosaics in a stained glass window.
Marie lives with her brother Gabe and their parents in a Brooklyn brownstone. Gabe is destined for the seminary and Marie is hoping for a life as a wife and mother. Her only worry is that she will end up alone because of her plainness and quiet nature. Marie's keen observations and vulnerability reveal the internal life of a fascinating woman. From her brother's eventual loss of faith to her first heartbreak, from her parents' deaths to the changing nature of her neighborhood, the reader is invited to experience with Marie the impact everyday events have on a life.
Someone was one of 10 titles selected by five judges for this year's National Book Award long list. This marks another major achievement for one of this country's finest writers. In McDermott's hands, this seemingly innocuous and unimportant woman's life is drawn as a powerful portrait highlighting the fact that each of us has a story to share. This remarkable book is a beautifully written celebration of family, community and history. Readers will long remember and cherish this heartfelt tale which quietly encourages self-reflection, understanding and empathy.
The Beltway Sniper. The Green River Killer. The Boston Strangler. Great unease prevails in a community when there is a cold-blooded killer on the loose. Police work tirelessly and civilians are extra cautious about venturing out. But what happens when the investigation drags on without anyone being apprehended and the number of victims continues to climb? This is the story in Joyce Maynard's latest book, After Her, a novel as much about a serial killer as it is about the complicated relationships between parents, children and siblings. When sisters Rachel and Patty are teenagers, women begin turning up dead in the mountainous area just beyond their home in northern California. The killer, dubbed the "Sunset Strangler" because of his method and time of day he kills his victims, always seems to be one step ahead of law enforcement. The sisters' father is the local detective assigned to solve the case, and his spirits and physical health decline as the killer continues to elude capture. Eventually, public opinion turns against him, and he is removed from the case, leaving an unfinished chapter in his career. Thirty years later, his daughter Rachel is still trying to make sense — and make peace — with her now-deceased father's professional and personal struggles.
Maynard crafts a story that is family saga, history lesson and murder mystery melded together. There is suspense, but also poignant moments showcasing the lasting bonds of family. Ultimately, in order to find the missing piece of the puzzle, Rachel must confront unexpected secrets of her father's past. Maynard based After Her on the real-life case of the Trailside Killer, and the investigating detective and his family. On her website you can watch a trailer for the book with interviews with the real-life sisters behind the story.
Literary fans of something old and something new now have an opportunity to see, in person, the art masterpieces at the heart of two respected writers' novels. Tracy Chevalier's hugely successful Girl with a Pearl Earring and Donna Tartt's eagerly anticipated new novel, The Goldfinch, feature paintings by Dutch masters now on temporary display in the United States. Johannes Vermeer's beloved "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and Carel Fabritius's exquisite "Goldfinch" are currently part of a 15-painting exhibition on loan to the Frick Collection in New York until January 19.
Girl with the Pearl Earring, Chevalier's second novel, is about Vermeer's 16-year-old housemaid who becomes the subject of his painting. It was greeted with popular and critical success following its publication in 1999. In addition to some 4 million copies sold, the book was turned into a movie.
The Goldfinch, Donna Tartt's sweeping new novel, is part suspense thriller, part coming-of-age novel. It centers on a young man named Theo, whose life is changed forever following a bomb attack at a New York museum that leaves his mother dead and him in possession of a rare Fabritius painting.
Now at the final American venue of a global tour, the paintings are traveling for only the second time in 30 years as the Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis in The Hague undergoes an extensive two-year renovation. Here is your opportunity to get up close and personal with the paintings behind the stories. Visit the Frick Collection for more information.
Maryland romance author Laura Kaye is launching her new Hard Ink series this month with Hard As It Gets. Becca Merritt is desperate. Her brother Charlie is missing. Before he disappeared, Charlie sent her a message that said, "Find Rixey, the Colonel's team, Hard Ink Tattoo." With no other options, Becca goes to Hard Ink Tattoo and finds Nick Rixey, a former member of her father's Special Forces team. Nick has no interest in helping the Merritt family. After Colonel Merritt betrayed Nick's team, they were ambushed, and the survivors' military careers were destroyed. Despite his feelings about Becca's family, Nick decides to start checking up on her. He gets drawn into the intrigue when he saves her from an intruder who breaks into her house. Soon, Nick is working with Becca and reassembling his old team to help her find Charlie and save him from an organized crime ring.
Set in Baltimore, Hard As It Gets is a strong start to Kaye's gritty new romantic suspense series, which will continue to follow the men of Hard Ink as they uncover the truth about the incident that destroyed their military careers. Filled with plenty of action and some steamy love scenes, this series and the hard-edged men of Hard Ink will appeal to readers who like Maya Banks' KGI series or Julie Ann Walker's Black Knights Inc. novels.
Earlier this year, Kaye's unlikely path to writing romance novels was the subject of a fascinating Huffington Post article. After sustaining a traumatic brain injury from an everyday accident, Kaye developed Post Concussion Syndrome. She began experiencing behavioral changes, one of which was newfound creative ability. Though she had never written fiction before, she wrote a 450 page novel in only 11 weeks! Kaye's unlikely injury was a twist of fate that led her to this unexpected new career.
Jo Baker's engaging new novel Longbourn focuses on the life of housemaid Sarah and her fellow servants for a behind-the-scenes retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Fans of Austen's novel will be intrigued by the lives of the underclass in Regency England, no less intriguing and dramatic than those of the gentry they serve.
Sarah, orphaned and raised almost as a daughter to housekeeper Mrs. Hill, fills her days from early morning to late night with the strenuous labor it takes to run a country household. Baker fills her novel with detailed accounts of the housemaid's chores, from emptying the chamber pots to heading to town in the rain and cold to purchase ornamental roses to decorate the Bennet girls' shoes. Readers will learn fascinating period housekeeping hints, like the fact that cold tea leaves sprinkled on floors will bind with dust, hair and insects, making sweeping easier.
Even as she supports the sisters in their complicated courtships, she dreams of a life of her own. She becomes flustered in her dealings with Mr. Bingley's handsome, flirtatious footman Ptolemy, the man charged with delivering letters. His goal is to open a tobacco shop one day. Mysterious James Smith, the newly arrived servant with hazel eyes and a secret cache of seashells, intrigues her as he lightens her daily work burdens and takes an interest in her. Sarah wonders "Could she one day have what she wanted, rather than rely on the glow of other people's happiness to keep her warm?" Longbourn is a book to savor almost as much as its inspiration.
Fannie Flagg's new novel The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion will remind readers of why they originally fell in love with her writing. The story's wit, wisdom and colorful cast of characters are utterly captivating.
Having just survived her three daughters' four weddings in less than two years, Sookie Poole is ready to enjoy some peace at last. She is looking forward to spending her days tending her birdfeeders, relaxing, traveling with her long-suffering husband Earle and caring for her eccentric mother Lenore Simmons Krackenberry. Her biggest concern these days is that one day she will go crazy like all the Simmonses do. There's a fine line between eccentric and crazy, and in the Simmons family they all end up in the Pleasant Hill Sanitarium eventually. Then, Sookie receives a certified letter and learns a shocking family secret. She begins to search for answers and learns much more about Lenore's past. Layers of the story unfold and Flagg takes readers back to 1943, Fritzi Jurdabralinski and the women who ran the Phillips 66 gas station in Pulaski, Wisconsin.
This story is a perfect fit for readers who enjoy novels by Adriana Trigiani, Rebecca Wells and Ann B. Ross. The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion is an absolute delight. Like Flagg's bestselling Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Café, this story moves between past and present, telling a family's story with effervescent humor and irresistible Southern charm.
Marta has stopped taking her pills. After years of following a routine the way her husband and mother-in-law expect her to, she wants to do something differently and see what happens. She desperately misses her adult son who recently announced his engagement and fears losing him forever. Emma Chapman's debut novel, How to Be a Good Wife, sends readers down a path of uncertainty where every move Marta makes leads to more questions and even less answers. When her husband dispenses her medication to her, she hides them underneath her tongue, then sneaks them into a grate in the floor. Her days become strange as she frequently finds herself in rooms she doesn't remember entering, feeling as if she has lost pockets of time and seeing a young, dirty, blonde girl named Elise who seems very, very real. When it appears as if Marta has attempted to abduct a little girl in broad daylight, her family has her committed to a psychiatric facility.
Chapman's story is unnerving and readers are just as in the dark as Marta. As tiny sprinkles of light begin to open up the secrets of her hazy past, the possible truth of how she came to be Mrs. Marta Bjornstad is shockingly incomprehensible.
Best-selling author of medical and political thrillers Michael Palmer has passed away at the age of 71. First published in 1982, his debut novel The Sisterhood dealt with the controversial subject of euthanasia. Palmer went on to write close to 20 novels, the last of which, Resistant, is scheduled to be published in May of 2014.
Born in Massachusetts, he graduated from Wesleyan University, as had fellow medical thriller author Robin Cook. Upon reading Cook's runaway hit Coma, Palmer decided that he too could write novels of the same style. After attending medical school in Cleveland, Palmer worked as a physician in the Boston area for a number of years before writing took more and more of his time. Even after a decades-long career as a New York Times best-selling author, he continued to work part-time with the Massachusetts Medical Society's physician health program. His sons Daniel and Matthew have continued the Palmer family writing legacy with novels of their own.
Maryland author Charles Belfoure's debut novel The Paris Architect is gaining the attention of readers across the country. In 1942, Parisian architect Lucien Bernard is largely indifferent to what is happening to Jews in Occupied France. When he is asked to create a hiding place for the Jewish friend of a wealthy businessman, he can't resist either the challenge or the compensation, so he agrees. Despite the danger, he begins designing places for others to hide from the Gestapo. His ingenious designs embed hidden cubbyholes into the architectural features of buildings. When one of his hiding places fails, he can no longer ignore the reality of the situation. Over the course of the novel, the horror of what is happening to Jews in his city becomes very real and personal to Lucien.
NPR's Alan Cheuse compares this story to novels by Alan Furst. The historical and architectural details bring the story to life. This fast-paced World War II thriller leaves readers wondering how we would have reacted in the same situation, which makes it a good choice for book clubs. Discussion questions and additional information about Belfoure's inspiration are also included in the book. The Paris Architect will appeal to readers who enjoyed Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay and City of Women by David R. Gillham.
Belfoure, who lives in Westminster, wrote a fascinating series of posts about this novel for The Jewish Book Council blog. He will appear at several upcoming local events to promote his novel. A full list is available here.
Marvel Comics has issued the Ender's Game graphic novel just in time for the movie. Based on the Hugo- and Nebula-awards winning classic science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card. The story follows Andrew "Ender" Wiggin as he enters battle school at 6 years old. Earth barely survived an invasion from the Formics, an insect-like alien race. Genetically bread to be a prodigy, Ender shows his aptitude for military strategy through his remarkable results in both the combat and mind games presented to him by Earth Command. Rising through the ranks and entering Command School at an accelerated pace, Ender learns to rely on no one but himself and his own instincts, regardless of the rules. Can Ender save humanity from the impending war with the "Buggers"?
This graphic novel is a compilation of the Ender's Game: Battle School #s 1-5 and Ender's Game: Command School #s 1-5 comics originally released monthly by Marvel beginning in October 2008. While the graphic novel format does not go into as much depth as the novel, it does stays true to the story. The movie adaptation, starring Harrison Ford, will be in theaters November 1.

ArtWorks 2015
Some of the best student talent within our district was on display during the month of April. The pieces assembled for ArtWorks! were specially selected by our district art teachers. "Wow", "Amazing", "Awesome" are just some of the frequent comments shared with us. And we couldn't agree more.
This year, the student art sales raised more than $1,500 for the individual classrooms participating in our Event Sales Area. Thank you to all the volunteers and attendees for supporting this important event.
And an extra big THANK YOU to our PYLUSD Art Teachers who help promote creativity with their daily art instruction. We hope the many smiling faces in attendance and comments of admiration add to our words of gratitude.
(Additional event photos are available on our Facebook page and will be added to our website soon)
Special R.E.A.C.H. Supported ART Project
- Submitted by Mrs. Halliday -
"Crossing the Boundaries" is the title of the collaborative art project funded by the R.E.A.C.H. Foundation.
On Tuesday, February 24, Mrs. McDonald's first grade class from Golden Elementary walked to Tuffree Middle School to spend the day exploring, experimenting and having fun while learning with Mrs. Halliday's 8th grade Visual Arts students.
The students worked their way through eight stations of various activities. They created two extra-large paintings designed to be displayed at the PDA and PAC, practiced reading and measuring skills, experimented with painting techniques, learned how to manipulate Spirograph, and enjoyed visiting with their new buddies.
Both Mrs. Halliday and Mrs. McDonald agreed that this is the first of many collaborative projects to come. Thank you to the R.E.A.C.H. Foundation for supporting our students!
And we at the Foundation would like add we're so glad to be able to support this wonderful collaboration and thank Mrs. Halliday and Mrs. McDonald in return for their passion to make it happen!

How to Find the Right Program
Kristian's blog entry about tc is a perfect example of what I see as a common problem. How do you find the "right" program for a task.
Every time I load Kubuntu on a system (something I am doing right now) this issue jumps into my mind. Gutsy currently has 23,138 packages available. After I do the basic install and some stuff I know I want, I usually browse through the list. But, that is a huge list.
Each time I do this I find something I had missed in the past or something I needed last week. Searching FreshMeat, Sourceforge, and Googling finds me most of the programs I don't know about (plus, good old man -k for what is installed) but there is clearly stuff that is missed.
Anyone have a solution? Ok, if LJ just did a big review issue and reviewed al 23,000 packages (plus the stuff that isn't in the Kubuntu distribution--let's bump that up to 50,000) that would be great but even if it were possible, I just don't think a 50,000 page issue of LJ is the right answer.

Request info[edit]
I am in the process of writing a research paper on Henry Hobson Richardson, and require more in-depth information. If anyone can offer some insight, I would be most grateful.
-Casimir the Blue
- "Insight" is a pretty broad term. I have visited most of his extant buildings [as of 1988 or so] and my favorite quote about him is something like 'He designed buildings that looked like him." The Van Rensselaer book is the original source [1888] so start there. If you want someone to write your paper for you - -well make an offer. [Just kidding. I would NEVER solicit work on wikipedia] Carptrash 01:05, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- BtW, the van Rensselaer book (title in "References") is available through Amazon.com in a Dover reprint, delivered to your door! --Wetman 11:18, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
A picture of Toronto's old City Hall might also be useful for the pictures section, if we're to include mention of Richardson's influence -- it's an elegant Richardson-style building, and far more photogenic than the Ontario Parliament... --Chris LaRoche 3:48, 16 Dec 2006 (UTC)
Pictures of H.H.[edit]
I found some portraits of the man:
The second is okay for non-profit use and attribution. Not sure about the second one, if it's PD or not. ~~Shiri — Talk~~ 06:08, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
Father of Modernism?[edit]
I removed odd colloquialism "H. Richardson was not the father of modernism. But he was the grandfather of modernism". ' Father -- grandfather. Were there ever any mothers, grandmothers??Brosi 14:21, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Great start to an article, neads lead expanding per WP:LEAD, in-line citations, and the gallery pruning substantially. --Antischmitz 16:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
um... hello. im not sure if anyone is following this page anymore but who was the african american henry richardson? im supposed to do a report on a henry richardson but idk who the teacher was referring to so whoever is editing this should put if he was african american
- If you do a google search for <" henry richardson" african american> I think you'll get a lot closer to whom you want. Carptrash 22:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned references in Henry Hobson Richardson[edit]
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Henry Hobson Richardson's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

* 1880 Witherbee Mansion - Port Henry, NY[edit]
I just moved this - " * 1880 Witherbee Mansion - Port Henry, NY "- from the list of the Great Man's commissions to talk about. It is not mentioned in either VanRensselaer or Ochsner, the two classic Richardson references, and doing a quick Google search only brought up this www.alisonvcraigrealty.com/res6.htm site. Which says nothing about Richardson. Any ideas/ other than to keep it off? Carptrash (talk) 23:37, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Suggest Removing Images of Non-Richardson Buildings[edit]
I suggest removing two images that show buildings not by H.H. Richardson: 1) the Wellesley B&A Station, a work by Richardson's successors Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge dating from 1888; 2) the Lucius Tuckerman mansion, Washington DC. Since this is an article about H.H. Richardson, it would seem best if only Richardson's own buildings are illustrated here. Perhaps these non-Richardson images could be moved to the Romanesque Revival page. Sullivanesque (talk) 21:25, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
- There's a Richardsonian Romanesque article, too, but it already has more than enough pictures. I'd just remove the images. - Eureka Lott 21:41, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Removal of Non-Richardson Buildings from List of Extant Works[edit]
I removed (from the List of Works) the Wellesley B&A Station and the Alston B&A Station, both of which were by Richardson's successors, Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge. I also removed the Lucius Tuckerman Mansion in Washington DC since it is not a Richardson building.Chesterct (talk) 02:44, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Removal of Demolished Buildings from List of Extant Works[edit]
I removed the Unity Church, Springfield MA, from the list since it is not "extant." The list could be changed to a complete list of works and demolished buildings could be added back in.Chesterct (talk) 02:44, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Removed the Marshall building in Chicago from extant works, torn down in 1930s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by J777e (talk • contribs) 16:10, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Howard Library Building[edit]
The text on the Howard aka Taylor Library Building in New Orleans read "The office of Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge used a Richardson design which had been submitted and rejected some years earlier. This leads some, particularly those in New Orleans, to argue that this library is an original Richardson design." This wording seemed rather confusing to me. It seems to say that 1) the design was by Richardson 2) some people argue the design is by Richardson, but this is debatable (for some reasons not specified). I have attempted to clarify and expand the description. Infrogmation (talk) 18:56, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
- I believe that there used to be an editor around who literally "wrote the book on Richardson." Or at least one of the books on him. Perhaps he will show up and clarify this sticky wicket for us. I will search out my copy of his book when I get home. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 23:25, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
List defined references[edit]
Unless someone objects, I intend to shift this article to list-defined references sometime soon to simplify future changes as it grows. More info can be found at the WP:LDR shortcut.--Frankie Rae (talk) 20:19, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
- This conversion is now complete. However, in the process, I found a number of problems with references, some of which I was unable to resolve. I note two problems here.
- First, under Biography, the citation (currently numbered 6) for this sentence does not appear to support several of its points, including the claim that this building was the first appearance of Richardsonian Romanesque or that it is being restored:
- "In 1869, he designed the Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane (now known as the H. H. Richardson Complex) in Buffalo, the largest commission of his career and the first appearance of his eponymous Richardsonian Romanesque style. A massive Medina sandstone complex, it is a National Historic Landmark and, as of 2009, was being restored.[6]"
- Second, under Replicas in the discussion of Wellesley Farms Railroad Station, I found no page citation for this source (currently numbered 38):
- Roy, John H., Jr. (2007). A Field Guide to Southern New England Railroad Depots and Freight Houses. New England Rail Heritage Series. Pepperell, Massachusetts: Branch Line Press. pp. missing page citation. ISBN 978-0-342147-08-7.
- Any assistance with either of these would be appreciated. Thanks! --Frankie Rae (talk) 20:06, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Designed or influenced NYC Harlem Line stations?[edit]
We all know that Richardson designed many of the Boston and Albany Railroad stations, but since B&A became a subsidiary of the New York Central Railroad, and the NYC Harlem Line connected to the B&A at Chatham Union Station, is it possible he may have also designed some stations along the Harlem Line? Or did he at least influence the design of the stations? Check this link out(http://world.nycsubway.org/perl/show?61715), as well as this description;
One of three Henry Hudon(sic)Richardson-designed station buildings at consecutive stations from Chappaqua to Bedford Hills, identical except for building materials used.
Aside from the misspelling of his middle name, is there any credibility to this statement? ----DanTD (talk) 03:34, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Create a 360-degree Panoramic Image with Your Phone!
Imagine you are on vacation in New York and there you are, standing at 7th Avenue Times Square, making pictures of every building, ad, billboard, light; basically everything you see there (duh, you are at Times Square!) Isn't it better to make a panoramic photo of everything around the spot you are standing at? Now with SpinCam app, you are able to make 360-degree images from your phone!
Of course you know Google Street View, right? (If you don't know what Google Street View is, click here). Basically the images that SpinCam produces work the same way like Google Street View: you spin the image to see the 360-degree view of the street. To make that picture, you just have to hold your phone, spin around the circle, and voila!
The 360-degree images that you create with SpinCam are saved on your phone and can also be shared with your friends on the application and through Facebook (Yet, as you might know, Facebook does not support such spin-image, so what you will share is the link of the webpage where your image is stored). Like Instagram, the SpinCam has "Featured" and "Liked" sections where you can browse through popular Spins shared by other users. Who knows this application will be as big as Instagram (but hopefully they will not sell themselves to Facebook like what Instagram did yesterday!)
Too bad, SpinCam is only available for iPhone users, so as usual, Android users have to wait until they can experience this app. However, don't worry Android-fellas; I heard the developers are currently working in developing the Android version of the app, so be patient!

"Beautiful cards. I got them printed on the shimmer paper and put them into laser cut envelopes I got from another source. So elegant and clean. Staff is AMAZING. Very kind and attentive, everytime I called them, they were very helpful and patient. My invitations arrived 1 week before scheduled delivery. Fast service! For canadian customers, please remember you will be charged the current exchange rate and duties via UPS (a few little surprises I forgot about when paying)!"
"This is a simple elegant card but the bride and groom didn't like the organge color of the coral, so with the designer's help it was changed to a smoke gray - both the invitation as well as response and details card. Feel free to be creative - you can have your own perfect card! Only dissappointment was they don't provide "inside" envelopes - only outside. Too late to add them now. Should be provided at no extra cost."
"I am having and as Asian-American wedding and was looking for an invitation that wouldn't put us over out budget but still had a nice Asian flair. I loved the design and to top it off the little elephant on the front and back made everything come together perfectly. My family is from Laos the land of a million elephants. I was able to keep the information simple yet it still made the invitation beautiful. The customer service was wonderful. I received my proofs within a timely manner and when I did come in contact with any staff they were always friendly, and knowledgeable."
"I have recently ordered this in the gold text with the white envelopes. Quality of paper, text and colours were brilliant, clear resolution and of fine quality. All personal design requests that i had made were dealt with in no time, quick, friendly helpful service. All ordered online, did not have to telephone or get in contact with anyone, was a simple and easy process overall. Delivery of this item was much faster than i had anticipated, as it was an international delivery it was delivered within 2 working days, which i am very pleased with as i was told it would take up to 5-11 days. Very pleased with this product and with Wedding Paper Divas, especially as this was my first time coming across this website and purchasing from here. i will most definitely recommend this card for someone who is looking for a simple yet elegant wedding invitation. I will also be ordering from Wedding Paper Divas again as i am really impressed with the service, quality and range of choice."
"Love this website. Customizing choices of font, wording, and placement on your "potential" invitation allows you to preview exactly what it will look like. I will be ordering this invitation today."
