Cilantro and Lime Fried Egg on Toast
Fate intervened. Had I not been compelled to move the tupperware container sitting on a shelf in the fridge, I would not have spied the sad looking plastic bag behind it. But I did move it! I did! And since then, our breakfasts have taken a delicious turn. The lucky find was cilantro, an herb that was used days before and then quickly forgotten. So that morning, I made eggs over easy with toast, some spices/herbs, and then a generous dusting of cilantro. It was good, but we decided that the sourdough bread needed to be bronzed on a skillet in order to be easier to eat (plus, you know, more fat and deliciousness). So the next day we did the bronzing with the same herbs and spices and the cilantro. Then I wondered what would happen with a drizzle of lime juice, so the next day, we did the bronzing, the herbs and spices, cilantro... and the lime juice. Harmony. Seriously, what an unexpectedly awesome combination.
I can't bear to think what would have happened had I not moved that container when I did. Instead of a wonderful new breakfast, a slimy green mess would have been found... then tossed.
chopped cilantro
kosher salt
crushed red pepper
garlic powder
slices of sourdough bread
extra virgin olive oil
lime wedges
Heat olive oil in cast iron skillet. Place the slices of sourdough bread on the griddle and bronze each side. Take off heat once both sides have browned. Set aside. Pour in more olive oil if needed. Crack the eggs into the hot skillet. Sprinkle with oregano, salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder. Once the white looks pretty cooked (about a minute), get the spatula (be sure to get it underneath the yolk) and flip the whole thing to finish cooking (over easy). It should only take a few seconds. Then place on bronzed toast. Cover with a healthy sprinkling of cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Three Generations
An extraordinary stature would have been his already just for the Alcoseba and Trinidad (of Barili) Family Trees that he reconstructed and pioneered doing in Cebu, but Monsignor Cesar Jose Alcoseba also translated the Bible into Visayan. And everyone who has seen those little Visayan novena booklets in religious shops–chances are they were translated or written by Monsignor Dodò. Religious songs too did not escape his genius. Monsignor Alcoseba was born in Barili, however, and could not be included in the Carcaranons page.
For his Alcoseba Family tree (AFT, 1991), the monsignor confined it to his great-grandfather, Carmiano (Bernardo) Alcoseba, as the starting person. Subsequent research has expanded what we know of the family and I think it's time the family continue what he started and include everyone with available records into the Alcoseba of Carcar Family Tree.
For a start, we have determined who Bernardo Carmiano's parents were, as well as two siblings of his, Bernabela and Antonio. There are also other lines usually starting with someone named Simon and the first one too may have been a brother of Carmiano or even of Cipriano, Carmiano's father. Although I have not personally seen the monsignor's AFT, sequence of Carmiano's children are based on it per information supplied by a source. Additions to AFT are entries for daughters Maria Bernarda (1831) and Ma. Christina (1833) found in the records. Maria Bernarda, though, had a notation on her baptismal record: Severina. These and other dates are from my own research.
Some years back, someone had been searching for the roots of his ancestor Algandor Alcoseba. At that time, I had not yet gotten to his record but Algandor is Alejandro, married to Juliana Balongoy Gabinete. They are the parents of Moises Alcoseba (born 1887* in Carcar, died 1969 in Hawaii). As they belonged to the branch of Carmiano's brother Antonio, the names of the three would not be found in the monsignor's Alcoseba family tree book. So here, Alejandro's parents were Cosme Alcoseba and Felipa Aleguiojo below.
[1-Mar-2010: A big Casimira Alcoseba-Ambrosio Alesna branch has been in the Alcoseba files, unlinked, but appears in the Alesna Family tree. I missed this Burial record in the microfilms and my instinct to review the volume has been rewarded. Her burial in 2-Aug-1880 showed a Carmela Alcoseba widow of Ambrosio Alesna. She was said to be the daughter of Cipriano and Maria Pancita, our starting couple. I still have to encode the branch here but already think of placing Casimira AKA Carmela between Carmiano and Bernabela by virtue of a daughter, Rafaela, marrying ahead of Bernabela's own children. Monsignor Dodò's Carmiano family tree has now been appended with parents and 3 siblings.
In starting to trace one's family trees through the parish books, Marriages would be the recommended records to look into first. You get two families–plus grandparents in some–already with just one entry. But for individuals who were born before Claveria, where the absence of surnames would make it more demanding to pick them out, I usually favor the post-Claveria and later Burials because in the entries there, not only are they now identified by their surnames, but the person's parents are as a rule also included. Many of the links in my files were established this way and that certainly was the case here.]
[20-Dec-2010] The huge block of Alcoseba under either a single Simon or several Simons remains untied to this main reconstruction in my Alcoseba file. The biggest stumbling block is there is a Simon Alcoseba married to a Pia Manuela (an obvious pre-Claveria name), another Simon married to a Feliciana Maria, a third Simon married to a Feliciana Alcuires, a fourth married to a Feliciana Aldo, and a fifth (maybe a younger generation Simon) married to Teodora Gutierrez. If the first four Simon were the same person, he would have a total six children found in my file.
From their timelines, whatever Simon appears to be a sibling of Carmiano, Casimira, Bernabela and Antonio, and thus a son of first couple Agustin Cipriano and Catalina Panchita.
[22-Dec-2010] A record may have unlocked the mystery about the many Simons. But it is intricate. An 1893 burial record of a Francisca Alcoseba showed her parents to be Ciriaco and Dionisia Aleson, and grandparents as Simon-Pia. But Ciriaco is under my Simon-Feliciana Aldo line. And my Pia line had only Salvadora, Romana and Gregoria as her children. Ciriaco-Dionisia's descendants touches on some Nadela branches of Carcar.
Meanwhile in that same burial record, Dionisia Aleson is said to be the daughter of Justiniano-Josefa. In my line for Francisco Justiniano-Ma. Estipa in the Aleson file, Dionisia had a sister Lucia, married to Macario Alcoseba (a relationship borne only by the burial record of Lucia).
Well, like I said, intricate: Macario Alcoseba belongs to my Simon Alcoseba-Feliciana Alcuires file! And it says there his wife was Lucia Aleson, daughter of Fustiano Aleson-Estefa Gelleganca.
Although Justiniano may look a different name from Fustiano, and Josefa from Estipa or Estefa, but there is such a thing as "sounds-like". Anyway, sometime back I'd already grouped these various Simon lines together as one happy family, with the promise of that eventuality. The different Felicianas and Pia looked too minor as discrepancies. Here's hoping another record would clinch it really for the Simon line. But we'll still have to await still another record needed to show Simon as a son (or a brother) of Agustin Cipriano and Catalina Panchita. And, of course, whether Feliciana is an Alcuiris or an Aldo. Meanwhile, I'm intrigued why the name Pia Manuela ever cropped up.
the 2010 Voters list for Carcar, there are 135 voters surnamed Alcoseba, the 56th most numerous surname in the list.

Mark Povinelli (Kinko) talks about working with Rob in an interview with Reel Movie News
How was it working with Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon as costars?
I didn't know a lot of Rob's stuff, but I was aware of him. I'd seen the Harry Potter movies
but I hadn't seen any of Twilight films. He was a name to me, and not really somebody I could closely identify with. When I went in to work with him, I was like 'who is this guy?' When I started to understand the Rob fascination, it turns out that Rob is a really down to earth, sweet, kind of silly, very bright young man. That was the thing that surprised me the most. I thought of him as a Tiger Beat, Teen Beat matinee idol, when actually in this film he's a leading man. He's a rugged leading man with still a sweet boyish face that can really carry a film. He carries two hours of this epic story on his back and I think he carries it off beautifully. One of the charming things about Rob is that when we're not filming, often times he's off reading a book and he's very well read. He understood so much about the depression era in America, so much about circuses. He would reference old movies and old pictures he'd seen and done research on. He's not just 'what movie am I doing next?', he really dives into a role and I think he's an actor. He does his work and research and he comes prepared.
People are saying this is Rob's real breakout role. It would be great to see 'Academy-award winning actor' before his name as well.
I think at some point it's going to be there, whether it's for this or not, he's got the chops to be able to be that guy at some point. It's a matter of when, not if. The thing about this film, is that Rob is this film, in the sense that it is completely told from his characters prospective. He's in every shot of every scene and knowing that, we knew that he was going to make or break this film. I really do, honestly, think he makes it. He looks fantastic, to no ones surprised, but he carries himself and is so committed to the character. He's on screen with Reese and Christoph and he absolutely holds his own and totally delivers. Everyone has this big question of can he do this, and he's got this big target on his forehead. He can, and he did.
You've also booked Snow White opposite Julia Roberts. Are you excited to work with her?
It's hard for me to come up with a bigger star than Julia Roberts. Again, I've been following hers, and a fan of hers for 20 years. To think 20 years ago, if someone had told me I'd be able to work back to back with the Reese's and Rob's and Christoph's of the world and then go right into something with Julia Roberts is very exciting.

Jewish World Review Aug 13, 2012 / 25 Menachem-Av, 5772
With Ryan, Romney upends the conversation
By David Shribman
JewishWorldReview.com | Mitt Romney is a very conventional Republican of a very different age. He has roots in 1960s Republican orthodoxy. His personal style, if not his political instincts, is deeply conservative. He respects authority, precedent and history.
But had he decided to run a conventional Republican challenge against President Barack Obama this fall, he would have flown Saturday to San Diego and announced the identity of his running mate -- someone like Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, all reasonableness and Ivy League but neither Wall Street nor Tea Party -- on the USS Midway.
Instead, Mr. Romney flew east, to Virginia, an important swing state, and stood before the USS Wisconsin and announced that he had selected Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the intellectual wunderkind of the new conservatism. Mr Ryan is no midway selection. He is, to choose a redolent phrase from another era, a choice not an echo.
That was the phrase used to describe Sen. Barry Goldwater in 1964 -- a conservative choice and not an echo of the Republican mainstream that had produced two doomed candidacies by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York and one by Vice President Richard Nixon of California.
Today, no one suggests that Mr. Ryan is a Goldwater figure nor that the new Romney-Ryan ticket is headed toward losing 44 states the way Goldwater did nearly a half-century ago. Mr. Romney is a far stronger candidate than Goldwater, his incumbent rival is far weaker than Lyndon B. Johnson was only 11 months after the assassination of John F. Kennedy and his running mate, Mr. Ryan -- the first House member to join a GOP ticket since Goldwater chose the almost unknown William Miller of Lockport, N.Y. -- is far more accomplished and far more visible than Miller. Indeed, when Goldwater completed his acceptance speech in the Cow Palace in the summer of 1964, a political commentator, astonished at a speech that deplored moderation in the defense of liberty, said, "My gosh, he's going to run as Barry Goldwater."
Mr. Romney's selection of Mr. Ryan does not suggest that the former Massachusetts governor is going to run as Barry Goldwater, but it sure suggests he is not going to run as the Mitt Romney who ran a spirited but unsuccessful challenge to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy in 1994 nor as the Mitt Romney who governed Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007, when he championed the health care law that Democrats now say is the model for Obamacare.
This is also a repudiation of the longtime doctrine of presidential politics which stipulates that Republican candidates run to the right in the primaries and caucuses only to steer if not veer to the center for the general election. Mr. Romney has made a sharp right turn with his selection of Mr. Ryan, signaling his calculation that it is more important to motivate his base than to appeal to the center.
This decision reflects, probably shrewdly, the notion that there are dwindling numbers of undecideds in this election and that appealing to them only endangers the Republican faithful or the increasingly fervent Republican right, whose presence at the polls in November is utterly indispensable to Mr. Romney's fortunes.
There are some important and very instructive echoes from 1988 and 2008 in this development.
Almost a quarter century ago, Vice President George H.W. Bush sought to give a youthful tint to his campaign against Gov. Michael S. Dukakis of Mass- achusetts by selecting Sen. Dan Quayle of Indiana as his running mate. At 41, Mr. Quayle was a year younger than Mr. Ryan but less at the center of the Reagan-era GOP debate than Mr. Ryan is now.
Four years ago, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who was less conventional than Mr. Romney, nonetheless sought to change the dynamic and the nature of the political discourse by choosing a young, attractive darling of the right. That choice, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, was disastrous, as the self-proclaimed maverick soon became a rogue campaigner and swiftly displayed her unreadiness and unsuitability for national office.
Mr. Romney acted Saturday out of the same impulse but chose a running mate of substantially different character, experience and outlook. Like Ms. Palin, he is young and appealing, representing what John Kennedy would have called a new generation of leadership. Mr. Ryan is a fresh face to the vast majority of Americans who don't watch the Sunday interview shows or read conservative blogs.
But along with his new ideas, symbolized by his budget proposals heavy on overhauling entitlements, Mr. Ryan brings real Washington experience and a heavy Capitol credential: his tenure as chairman of the House Budget Committee. Republicans and Democrats alike agree that Mr. Ryan's 2010 budget plan would have, in the phrase Democrats used to disparage it, changed Medicare as we know it. This is a brave choice that offers a glimpse of the map Mr. Romney has chosen for the fall.
First, of course, he intends to contest Wisconsin, where Mr. Obama defeated Mr. McCain by 14 percentage points in 2008 but a place that has become a savage political battleground after the election two years ago of Gov. Scott Walker, who himself departed from Wisconsin Republican orthodoxy by mounting a fight against state workers and their union. In a close race, the state's 10 electoral votes could be crucial if not deciding.
But Mr. Romney also has determined that a conventional race against an incumbent, which might mean running simply as the candidate who is not Mr. Obama, will not do this time around, not with Mr. Obama assailing Mr. Romney and his business record. Instead, with Mr. Ryan on the ticket, the Republicans now offer more than simply an alternative but an entirely separate route out of the nation's economic mess.
In addition, with this one decision, Mr. Romney has taken the focus off his own financial record and placed it squarely on Mr. Obama's economic record -- and on Mr. Ryan's imaginative ideas.
"We're in a different, and dangerous, moment," Mr. Ryan said after being introduced by Mr. Romney. "We're running out of time -- and we can't afford four more years of this."
Few political conversations have the potential to adjust so swiftly and as completely as this one. Already the talk is of what Mr. Ryan believes, not of what Mr. Romney made at Bain Capital. For that reason alone, Mr. Romney may have hit pay dirt.

Apple simply had to put up some official Chinese stores -- the fake ones were getting pretty good at aping the look and feel ... and logo.
New retail spots show that the company is making a serious push into the Apple-crazy Chinese market, tapping a fertile customer base. The Hong Kong store opens Sept. 24, with the Shanghai one opening a day earlier. The HK store is in the heart of the financial district, so says The Next Web.
The flagship store, in Shanghai, is a five-story cathedral to Apple culture. A full floor for launches (iPhone 5?) and product, a second floor for the Genius Bar and three floors for corporate training, etc. -- all to accomodate 40,000 vistors a day. It'll employ 300 (not these 300, though).
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Online stores have launched in four new countries, as well. The Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and the United Arab Emirates (hello, Dubai!) are up and running, according to MacRumors.
That's one-click ordering for four new populaces -- just in time for a new iPhone.

text: Hello, a few days ago I posted already but since then I worked some things out. So I'd like to start a new thread. I upgraded my vdr system with another Skystar 2 (Rev. 2.3) DVB-S card. Using the kernel drivers from kernel 22.214.171.124 with upgraded DVB-patch.2.6.12 from Linuxtv.org (to match last recent dvb-kernel version). VDR is not working as expected. Without recordings everything is fine. But if a recording (due to a timer event or manual) starts vdr gets very slow and the recording isn't starting. Well, it starts and in the same second it stopps, and that happends continuously every 6 seconds. I would expect VDR to get me an error. Instead the SkyStar driver (b2c2-flexcop-pci) is flooding my dmesg log with "i2c: master xfer failed" messages. Without loading the skystar card driver and using the single DVB setup everything works just fine again because the full featured Nexus 2.1 (primary) works well. Output of 'cat /proc/interrupts' is: 10: 0 XT-PIC Technisat/B2C2 FlexCop II/IIb/III Digital TV PCI Driver 11: 31472 XT-PIC saa7146 (0), eth0 And 2 devices were found by vdr. There are no counted interrups on irq 10 for the SkyStar2 it seems that the card / interrupt is sleeping since start of the vdr program (and I know about the "Einschlafproblem" but this occurs not just by starting the vdr or driver, right?). Using the command ./szap -n 002 -a 1 -f 0 leads like starting a recording on the device into floading the dmesg logs. szap output: reading channels from file '/root/.szap/channels.conf' zapping to 2 'Das Erste;ARD': sat 0, frequency = 11837 MHz H, symbolrate 27500000, vpid = 0x0065, apid = 0x0066 using '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0' status 01 | signal 0000 | snr 9b85 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 01 | signal 0000 | snr b097 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 01 | signal 0000 | snr cfdf | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 01 | signal 0000 | snr c829 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | (...) Instead using the ff device: zapping to 2 'Das Erste;ARD': sat 0, frequency = 11837 MHz H, symbolrate 27500000, vpid = 0x0065, apid = 0x0066 using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' status 01 | signal 8ea8 | snr 9840 | ber 0000ff0a | unc 00000000 | status 1f | signal ad1e | snr ce49 | ber 00003300 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ac85 | snr ce10 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK If there's somebody having an idea it would be welcome because I'm running low on ideas what to do next. Who else uses the SkyStar 2 Rev 2.3 and has no problems? Might be, that it's an overheating problem - but my pc case is open and there's a fan just in front of the pci cards. Greetings, Ingo VDR Logs:

Zach Randolph, Grizzlies star, cries and runs from cats
Zach Randolph, all 260 pounds of him, has a soft side. And it's not his stomach.
The Memphis Grizzlies power forward, one of the NBA's toughest players, admitted in an ESPN interview that he is terrified of cats. He also cries sometimes. These two things may or may not be related.
Randolph was in a recent episode of Animal Planet's Pit Bulls and Parolees, in which he helped rescue a pit bull trapped in a Memphis drainpipe. The All-Star power forward says he loves dogs. There's a "but."
"You can't be both a dog lover and a cat lover," Randolph says. "I've got a crazy phobia about cats. For some reason, I'm always thinking they're going to scratch me. If a cat walks up, I'm going, 'Oh no, this dude about to scratch me -- I know it!' Cats scare the hell out of me. I love animals, but I'm no cat lover. Guys usually aren't."
Randolph has a point. Cats can scratch you, unlike, say, statues, which Portland Trail Blazers rookie Damian Lillard claims as his biggest fear. No word on which is more deadly: cats or horses, Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry's top phobia.
Besides, Randolph has established his toughness on the court, particularly when taking on enormous Oklahoma City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins.
The interview with ESPN's Sam Alipour also included talk of Randolph's New Year's resolutions, eating habits and this charming nugget about the Pit Bulls and Parolees episode:
Alipour: Here goes: The episode made me shed a tear.
Randolph: [Laughs.] Well, I haven't seen it yet. But I might, too.
Alipour: Seriously? You're a crier?
Randolph: Yeah, a little bit.
Alipour: I'll keep that between us.
Randolph: It was emotional, man! I got a passion for these animals. I really do.
Who doesn't love dogs? Seriously! It was emotional!

Availability: In stock
The Smappee gas & water monitor measures your gas and water consumption. This can be done with a single monitor, provided that your gas and water meters are a maximum of two metres apart. You will be given a real-time view of the recorded data, together with the associated cost. Moreover, you will be warned of any abnormal consumption. Smappee is the first to offer a gas and water management system for domestic use; and it's both technologically advanced and affordable.
All you need to do is attach the sensors supplied to your gas and/or water meter(s). Unfortunately, the monitor does not work with digital meters. The app does the rest. You can check daily, monthly or annual consumption on your smartphone or tablet. The app helps you to keep tabs on everything, so there'll be no more unpleasant surprises when your bill arrives. Another great feature is that Smappee offers tips as to how and where you can save.
But Smappee does more than simply measure consumption. The smart app monitors your gas and water around the clock, so it picks up any abnormal consumption. No need to worry about leaking taps, burst pipes or gas leaks: Smappee has it all under control for you. If you are close to your gas & water monitor at the time, you'll receive an immediate leak alert on your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. If you'd also like to be alerted immediately of any leaks when you are further afield, this can be set up in combination with the Smappee (solar) energy monitor, provided that the two monitors are installed within 20 metres of each other. In this case, your Smappee energy monitor would pick up the message and send it via Internet to your smartphone.
The combination with the Smappee energy monitor offers a host of other advantages. Wherever you are, you'll have a full overview of your gas, water and electricity consumption, in real-time per day, per month and per year, with the associated costs, on a single device.
The gas & water monitor works with smartphones and tablets that run on iOS 8.1 or Android 4.4+ and support Bluetooth 4.0 LE.
Do you have any further questions about the Smappee gas & water monitor? You're sure to find the answer in our FAQs.

The Journalism emphasis will prepare students for the evolving business and professional fields through the development of newsgathering, reporting, and writing skills. The amalgamation of traditional and current journalism concepts within diverse courses enables students to establish and strengthen qualities essential for multiple career options. Students will experience hands-on application in writing, reporting, videography, and editing. All graduates will 1) understand the crucial role of ethics within the field of journalism; 2) develop strong newsgathering, reporting, and writing skills, and 3) understand evolving media practices, including law, theory and application.
The Communication Arts Journalism center is located on the second floor of the Jamison Mass Media building.
Our facilities include:
There are many on-campus jobs for students in the journalism field. A few of the more popular workstations are:
The Outlook Student Newspaper
This weekly, student-produced paper enables journalism students (and students from similar majors and minors) to experience news production from start to finish. Students develop story ideas, research, interview, write, layout, and edit all content and photos. This work station supplies students with quality experience that fosters both knowledge and a hard work ethic.
The Phoenix Yearbook
In addition to a published yearbook each new year, the Phoenix employs students to create a video supplement for the bound book. Students in the video Phoenix write, develop, and produce content that will be enjoyed by students, staff and faculty. This highly creative workstation requires that students not only have great ideas, but develop the means to see them through to completion.
Public Relations Department
Journalism students have the opportunity to write press releases for area newspapers and the College of the Ozarks' publications. This activity is an opportunity to utilize the writing, speaking, and planning skills necessary for success in the journalism field.

CORRECTION- Wrong state, wrong quote
In the January 4 article "Long shot: Sabato doesn't like Gilmore's odds in '08," we incorrectly stated that Frank Keating was the former governor of Montana. He is the former governor of Oklahoma.
Also, Rob Schilling contacted us to say that we misquoted him. He actually spoke of "Reagan's 11th commandment of not attacking other Republicans" and does, actually, support that idea.

Our Story
More than selling houses
For 70 years, Ebby Halliday, REALTORS® has been selling homes in North Texas. Today, we're a household name, and there's one big reason why: Ebby's dream wasn't just to sell houses, she wanted to positively influence people's lives. Our company isn't just about closing deals. That's only one small part of what makes us who we are. We are so much more than that because from the beginning, Ebby had a vision the size of Texas. She believed that above all else, you must "Improve your life by improving the lives of those around you."
From Hats to Houses
From the beginning, Ebby had a knack for sales. She launched her North Texas career in 1938 selling hats. What made her so good at it was that she understood intuitively that buyers make decisions based on emotions rather than rational thought. When she entered real estate, she applied that wisdom to selling houses. In the first homes she sold, she put up drapes to showcase the windows, laid down carpet on the floor, added furniture, and had the yards landscaped. She made it feel warm, enticing, inviting. She made it feel real. "Buyers have no idea what they want until they see it," Ebby said. "We have to give them a picture. Our job is to give them a better idea what the house will look like after they move in."
In her autobiography, "Ebby Halliday: The First Lady of Real Estate," Ebby shares her story of humble beginnings to becoming the Founder and Chairman of Ebby Halliday, REALTORS, one of the largest independently owned residential real estate companies in the nation. For more information on her book, visit www.ebbysbook.com.
Big Fun, Big Growth
That small nugget of wisdom led to some very big growth. By 1958, Ebby Halliday, REALTORS had sales of approximately $12 million, an impressive number, given the median home price at the time was around $24,000. (By the way, $12 million in 1958 dollars is roughly the equivalent of $100 million in 2016 dollars.) Today, we are the largest independent real estate company in Texas and have 31 offices covering 12,000 square miles of North Texas.
Serving the Client, Serving the Community, Serving the Industry
For 70 years, our company has been built on three principles: service to the client, service to the industry and service to the community. Each year we serve the residential real estate needs of more than 20,000 individuals and families moving to, from and within North Texas, always with the commitment of providing exemplary service during what can be one of life's most-exciting, yet often stressful, events. And our commitment as a company to our industry is legendary: Ebby Halliday is the only real estate firm in America to be honored with three National Association of REALTORS® Distinguished Service Awards. Our third principle, service to the community, has created a dynamic company culture whose philanthropic impact on North Texas cannot be overstated. We're proud to support a plethora of community initiatives across North Texas.
Just the Beginning
Like Ebby, who was never afraid of firsts, never afraid of what was up ahead (so long as she was leading the way), we're ready for what's coming next. We're just getting started.
