How tiny is this little guy! I always love the pee shots, they are my favorite.
I don't know why but they always end up peeing all over the dads, and it is so funny to see the different reactions. Jon was pretty calm, good job.

I'm Back
Wow that was a much needed trip. I'm so glad Skye took me! Wednesday we got on the smallest plane ever and thought we were going to die, we had two lay-overs, it took nearly 8 hours to get there, and we were wondering if it was going to be worth it. But as soon as we go to the airport Denise was there with her cute boys to greet us and make sure we got our rental car. She gave us those cute boxes with goodies and spending money. Then took us over to 435 where she showed us the new amazing SPRING LINE.
After that we checked into our hotel, and slept for 12 hours without interruption.
Luckily Skye & I both have the same sleeping habits.
The next couple days Denise & David spoiled us, they even let us pick out all of these clothes! (which was probably the best day of my life) Skye and I kept pinching each other not believing what was happening. Denise drove us around the city and out to eat for almost every meal, while running the whole conference.
We watched movies in our hotel every night and even managed to get breakfast in bed on our last morning. Thanks David & Denise!
Denise took this shot for us. Did I mention she is a great photographer also!
Skye, Kate & Denise

Manager Roberto Di Matteo admitted Chelsea had enjoyed a slice of luck as a last-gasp goal from substitute Victor Moses gave the Champions League holders a dramatic 3-2 win over Shakhtar Donetsk at Stamford Bridge to keep them on course for the knockout stages.
The Blues were in real danger of seeing their hopes of safe qualification from Group E suffering a severe dent as one-time transfer target Willian struck in each half to cancel out goals from Fernando Torres and Oscar following howlers from Shakhtar goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov before Moses' late strike.
"In terms of the timing of the winning goal, you probably could agree that there was an element of luck. It was basically the last kick of the game," said Di Matteo, who had elected to leave captain John Terry on the bench.
"At the end, when you get a win and you've played against a good team, we deserved to win.
"We did a lot of good things, put them under pressure particularly in the first half, and that's how we scored the two goals: by applying pressure on them. I think we deserved to win, ultimately."
Di Matteo added: "It was always going to be a difficult game. They are a very good side and have a lot of good individual players, and play as a team very well.
"They have shown that in all the games they have played. It made it difficult to go ahead twice and not hold on. We need to work on these things to see out games."
Chelsea are now level on points at the top of Group E ahead of their final two games, away to Juventus and at home to whipping boys Nordsjaelland.
And Di Matteo admitted Wednesday night's win puts a whole new complexion on the remaining matches for all sides in the group, with Juventus only a point behind.
"This is not going to make things easier, but it is going to give us a good chance to qualify because I think, like this, the last game will be crucial between Shakhtar and Juventus when they play each other," said the Italian. "We need some points from our last two games, and to win the last game for sure."

Oppenheimer to Fly the Apple Coop
Mar 4, 2014 2:05 PM PT
Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer will retire in September, when he'll be replaced by Corporate Controller Luca Maestri, the company's VP of finance. Maestri will begin taking the reins in June.
The move was expected. When Maestri joined Apple last year from Xerox, where he was CFO, the rumor mill began buzzing about his being groomed for Oppenheimer's post.
Further, Maestri "was on Apple's earnings call the last quarter, so long-term Apple aficionados would have read that between the lines," Ronald Gruia, director of emerging telecoms at Frost & Sullivan, told the E-Commerce Times.
Highlights of Oppenheimer's Apple Career
Over the past decade that Oppenheimer served as CFO, Apple's annual revenue skyrocketed from US$8 billion to $171 billion, and the company expanded its global footprint, CEO Tim Cook noted.
Oppenheimer's duties as CFO involved overseeing the functions of controller, treasury, investor relations, tax reporting, information systems, internal audit and facilities.
He began with Apple in 1996 as controller for the Americas; in 1997, he was promoted to VP and worldwide sales controller. He was appointed corporate controller before rising to CFO.
Oppenheimer developed a disciplined global financial strategy, along with robust systems and procedures. He managed facilities expansion, including the addition of four data centers and the development of plans for Apple's new campus in Cupertino.
He also took over the running of Apple's retail operations when Senior VP of Retail Ron Johnson, who was handling that area, left for JC Penney's, a post he lost in April after presiding over plummeting sales and revenue.
Salesman, Not Savior?
Known as a buyback expert, Maestri was described by Barclays Capital analyst Ben Reitzes as the champion of shareholder return.
It's possible that his presence helped temper corporate raider Carl Icahn's pressure on Apple to increase dividend payouts to its shareholders.
Maestri also has extensive foreign experience. In his 20 years at automaker General Motors, he was part of the team that established GM's regional operations in the Asia-Pacific, including manufacturing investments in China and Thailand. He was CFO of the team that restructured operations in Brazil and Argentina and returned the region to profitability. Also, he was CFO for all of GM's European operations across 45 countries.
That might help Apple push further into overseas markets, where growth is stronger than in the United States.
However, Maestri's key job "is to sell the potential of Apple as a company and make investors believe it's still cranking out new and innovative products -- like CarPlay and Apple TV -- that will lead to continuing revenue streams," Gruia said.
Mo' Money
Maestri's appointment is a mistake, said Trip Chowdhry, managing director of equity research at Global Equities Research.
"The right person to be the CFO is Fred Anderson," Chowdhry told the E-Commerce Times.
Anderson -- who was EVP and CFO at Apple from 1996 to 2004, and served briefly as CEO before Steve Jobs returned -- was appointed to Apple's board of directors in June 2004 but resigned following an investigation into the company's stock option practices. He now serves as managing director and cofounder of Elevation Partners.
"Steve Jobs must be weeping today," Chowdhry fumed. "Apple needs to replace both its CEO and its CFO, who have presided over the loss of $130 billion in shareholder value. That's twice the amount lost during the Enron crisis."
Cook announced at Apple's annual shareholder meeting last week that the company would announce by the end of April whether to increase its dividend and stock buyback.
"The board is totally focused on the wrong thing," Chowdhury said. "Within the next 60 days, they shouldn't come up with what to do with Apple's cash holdings. Cook should have said within the next 60 days, he will put an iWatch on everyone's arm -- within the next 120 days, he will sell Apple TVs."

News Release: Film Office Report Violates Michigan Law and the Spirit of Sunshine Week
Office's annual report fails to provide legally required film spending details and presents figures that appear to significantly overstate Michigan Film Incentive's impact
For Immediate Release
Thursday, March 19, 2009
Contact: Patrick J. Wright
Senior Legal Analyst
Kathy Hoekstra
Communications Specialist
MIDLAND — In stark contrast to the government transparency celebrated during Sunshine Week, the Michigan Film Office has issued a report that is "sorely lacking in key information required by state law," Mackinac Center Senior Legal Analyst Patrick J. Wright said today. The report, released earlier this month, is supposed to provide detailed spending figures for each film receiving the Michigan Film Incentive's refundable tax credits in 2008, but instead supplies only a total spending figure.
"The Film Office is required to report a breakdown of each film's production spending on goods, services, salaries and wages," Wright said. "This allows lawmakers to see what kind of economic benefits the films may bring the state and to evaluate the Film Office's judgment in handing out the law's generous subsidies and tax credits. The Film Office argues it can't disclose the figures due to the confidentiality of filmmakers' budgets, but a reading of the law shows that that objection doesn't apply here. The statute is very explicit that detailed spending breakdowns have to be in the report."
And serious questions arise about the numbers the Film Office does provide. In a video segment released on the Mackinac Center's Web site today, Communications Specialist Kathy Hoekstra finds that while the Film Office claims $125 million was spent in Michigan by the 35 films that qualified for the tax credit, the figure should almost certainly be closer to $65 million, based on data in a study accompanying the Film Office report and authored by Michigan State University's Center for Economic Analysis. Hoekstra further points out that although the Film Office puts the film-related Michigan jobs at 2,800, the MSU study calculates that these positions lasted just 23 days on average, equating to roughly 254 year-round jobs. The Film Office's dubious figures and refusal to furnish details, she observes, act as "a cloak of secrecy that conceals more answers than it reveals."
Hoekstra's video, which also features Wright's concerns, is posted at www.mackinac.org/mfi and is the third in a series dealing with the Michigan Film Incentive. The other segments can be viewed on the same Mackinac Center video page or by browsing to www.mackinac.org/10114 and www.mackinac.org/10234.

TEMPE, Ariz. — Bill Lachemann was on the same Dorsey High baseball team as legendary manager Sparky Anderson. He played his first professional game five years before Angels rising star Mike Trout's father was born and caught former Angels pitcher Jim Abbott's first bullpen session four years after qualifying for an AARP card.
He turns 79 next month, and he is 27 years older than the team that employs him, the Angels.
And what he does now is what he's been doing for decades: produce major league ballplayers.
Lachemann coaches the Angels' catchers during spring training, then travels the country during the summer to work with raw minor leaguers in places like Orem, Utah, Burlington, Iowa, and San Bernardino.
"It's not a job, it's a fun thing for me," Lachemann says. "Whatever they want me to do, they just point me in a direction and I do it."
By his own count, 50 of the 190 catchers he has tutored have made it to the majors.
Each morning, he pulls on a red Angels warmup jacket and bright white uniform pants, then ambles across the locker room to exchange pleasantries with the young men he works with.
"He's the first one in here . . . has his shin guards on before a lot of these guys are even out of bed," says Angels Manager Mike Scioscia, a two-time All-Star catcher with the Dodgers during his playing career.
The shin guards are something of a trademark.
Lachemann wears them mostly out of habit these days, but until he had a heart attack three years ago he frequently would catch and throw batting practice. Now, after six decades of wearing them to work, Lachemann walks stooped and with a slightly bowlegged gait. That is his only concession to age.
In the clubhouse, the players follow a strict code: high-priced veterans dress on one side, the pitchers line up side-by-side in the far corner, and across from them in the corner nearest the exit are the seven catchers who have been called to camp.
The five pounds of extra gear those catchers wear on the field spills from red and blue duffel bags — chest protectors, shin guards, hard plastic skull caps and steel-and-Titanium masks.
The equipment used to be called the "tools of ignorance," suggesting that anyone willing to squat behind the plate, inches from a man wielding a wooden club, and trying to stop a ball darting in different directions at nearly 100 mph had to be a little crazy. But Lachemann, a former Marine with a degree in education, is far from ignorant — especially when it comes to catching.
After leaving the clubhouse on a bright March morning, he jumps in a small white golf cart and heads to the most distant back field in the Angels' sprawling complex. There, he shares his wisdom with prospects like Jett Bandy, a 22-year-old from West Hills, and Carlos Ramirez, a 25-year-old from Arizona.
As Ramirez crouches behind the plate, Lachemann stands to one side, leaning on a fungo bat. "I mostly observe," he says.
When the bullpen session ends, Lachemann shuffles over and offers a critique. His words are firm but he doesn't scold. Ramirez, who is bathed in sweat, listens intently.
"Don't get lazy with your glove. Make sure your setups are all right," Lachemann says, referring to how the catcher positions his hands and body to receive each pitch. "And watch your footwork."
He then bids Ramirez good day, climbs into his golf cart and heads back to the clubhouse. He's happy, because Ramirez is working hard and improving rapidly.
With the major leaguers, most of Lachemann's work takes place out of public view, in the dugout or a room where he pores over video in search of minute mechanical flaws. During games, he charts each pitch, then uses the information to quiz the catchers a few innings later, asking them to recite every pitch that was thrown.
It's a test to see if the catchers are paying attention, and to help them detect patterns that might allow opposing batters to figure out a pitcher's strategy.
Hank Conger, an Angels backup and a former first-round draft pick out of Huntington Beach High, says he used to fret about those question-and-answer sessions, but concedes they "made me a lot better."
"The input that he gives us, the feedback that comes from his experience and what he's seen, it's been real helpful." Conger says.
Conger is grateful for Lachemann's advice, but he can't help but tease the coach about being old school. With a bushy white mustache, gray hair and wire-rim glasses, Lachemann looks more like an Old West sheriff than a modern-day baseball coach.
His brothers, Marcel and Rene, both managed in the major leagues, Marcel with the Angels in 1994, '95 and '96. He and Rene also briefly played in the majors, but Bill never made it out of the low minors during a six-year playing career.
Asked why, Lachemann is blunt. "Speed," he says. "I can run as fast now as when I was playing."
Lachemann's first professional contract, signed in 1955, brought him a salary of $150 a month. He figures the closest he got to the big leagues was a 1959 spring training at-bat, when Dodgers Manager Walter Alston sent him up to pinch-hit for Don Drysdale.
"I went up there and took the first pitch for a strike," Lachemann recalls. "Second pitch, I looked at it. Another strike. And I said, 'Screw it, I'm going to cut from my rear end.' I struck out. And when I sat down my legs would not quit shaking. I was so nervous.
"That was my only chance. If I would have gotten a base hit, who knows what would have happened."
That failure would lead to success for dozens of young catchers who later came through the Angels and San Francisco Giants organizations. Lachemann coached and managed nine years in the Giants' minor league system before joining the Angels.
"He's got just a great understanding of where guys should be and what they need to do to function on the field," Scioscia says. "He's a great evaluator, especially on the mental side. He puts a lot time into that. He's just a terrific mentor to these kids."
Asked for his take on the best player he's seen over the years, Lachemann doesn't hesitate.
"If you can't say that Mike Trout is the best, then you've got a problem," he says, nodding across the clubhouse to Trout's locker. "The guys that can run are the guys that really impress me a lot. Because I couldn't run a lick."
Trout stole 49 bases last season, when he was American League rookie of the year and runner-up in the most-valuable-player voting.
A lifetime of squatting has cost Lachemann one knee, which was replaced last fall. He will have the other replaced in October. In addition to the heart attack, Lachemann in recent years has battled colon cancer and diabetes.
He also lost Darriel, his wife of 52 years, who died of cancer last year on Mother's Day at the age of 70.
Baseball had taken them both to more small towns and greasy-spoon diners than any couple should have to endure. "She was always with me," Lachemann says.
He has three grown children, a daughter and two sons, and holds close the game that has been his life's devotion.
"When I die, I want to die on a baseball field," he says.
Oh, and if it's not too much trouble, he adds with a twinkle in his eye, he hopes those shin guards are on when he's buried.

A 16-year-old boy shot during a West Englewood robbery was one of at least 7 people shot Tuesday evening into this morning, according to police.
About 7:53 p.m., several male assailants approached the 16-year-old as he rode his bike down the 1800 block of West 71st Street, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Veejay Zala.
The group demanded the boy's bicycle, and when he tried to ride away, someone pulled out a gun and fired several times, Zala said.
The teen sustained gunshot wounds to the thigh and buttocks and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition was stabilized.
The assailants fled with the bicycle and have not been taken into custody.
In the most recent shooting, a 25-year-old man was shot at 4:48 a.m. in the 300 block of East Garfield Boulevard, Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada said, citing preliminary information.
The man arrived at Roseland Community Hospital shot in the foot, according to police. He was listed in good condition.
Earlier this morning, a 35-year-old man was shot and seriously hurt in the West Garfield Park neighborhood.
The man was standing in the 0-100 block of South Kostner Avenue when a male gunman approached and opened fire, News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro said. Bullets struck the man in the back, arm and leg, and he was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in serious condition.
His condition was later stabilized.
At the scene of the shooting, police officers laid about a dozen evidence markers on the sidewalk on the west side of Kostner, next to a three-story red brick building with a butcher shop on the ground floor.
Multiple squad cars raced from the scene at one point after police received a call of another person shot nearby, but the call turned out to be bogus, police said.
About 10 p.m., a 35-year-old man was shot in the 2900 block of East 89th Street, in the South Chicago neighborhood police said.
The man was shot in the arm and taken to Advocate Trinity Hospital, where he was listed in good condition.
About the same time, a 28-year-old man was wounded in a drive-by shooting in the Englewood neighborhood.
Someone opened fire from a black sedan as the man was standing on the sidewalk, striking the man in the foot, Alfaro said.
An acquaintance to0k the man to St. Bernard Hospital, where he was listed in good condition.
About two hours earlier in the the Rogers Park neighborhood, a 20-year-old man was shot about 8:05 p.m. in the 7200 block of North Sheridan Road.
The man was struck in the shoulder and both legs and taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, where his condition was stabilized.
About 7:30 p.m., a 28-year-old man was shot in the leg in the 3500 block of S. Vincennes Avenue. He was taken to Mercy Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.

it should not hurt to nurse, no matter how long baby hangs out at the breast. Some mild soreness after marthathons, OK, but not so bad as you are indicating. Pain indicates a poor latch, which could also explain poor milk transfer and consequetnly the long feedings and not great weight gain. Also giving bottles unfortunately can contribute to a poor latch.
This is why Dr. Jack Newman always insists that, when there are weight gain issues, the first thing to do is assess breastfeeding via observation and hands on assistance, preferably by a breastfeeding professional (such as an IBCLC) and not supplement as a first step (unless of course weight is seriously off and baby requires supplements immediately due to health issues.) Many moms (probably the vast majority) whose babies are gaining amore slowly are told to supplement as the first course of action and never assisted in any other way. It's very frustrating as this often leads to a premature ending of breastfeeding, a serious health issue.
As far as it affecting milk supply to change nursing habit-I am still not convinced the issue is milk supply but whatever-on the one hand, when a mom needs to INCREASE milk supply, switch nursing (nursing both sides per feeding) is recommended. But otherwise, feeding on one side per feeding is fine as long as baby is satisfied. If you are nursing more frequently overall, it becomes less important supply wise to feed at both sides per feeding. Whatever you do, start nursing on the least sore side first and try different techniques for fixing the latch. Also make sure you are gently applying purified lanolin or another good nipple cream after every nursing session, shower, etc. For latch and positioniong ideas, Look up laid back positioning aka biological nurturing, breast sandwich technique, ameda latch video. If you want, post here a description of what exactly is happening pain wise (describe the pain, when it starts, does it lessen or intensify during the feeding, how long it lasts, is your nipple misshapen after nursing etc. and I am sure some moms will have suggestions. Or even start a new thread just to tackle the latch issue.
As far as weight goes-sorry nothing makes sense to me except pounds and ounces. Can you tell me how many ounces did baby gain in the days just prior to supplementing and then what baby gained since supplementing in how many days? Babies this age average about an ounce of gain a day. Going up in percentiles is fine, but there is a misunderstanding out there that going up in percentiles is necessary to indicate adequate weight gain. But that is not how growth charts work. Unless the baby starts out seriously underweight, as long as baby stays on his own general percentile (curve) or goes up, he is probably growing fine.

Done Business with BeltFedShooters?
Just wondering if they're an OK company to deal with? I put in an order nearly a month ago, paid up front and have received nothing. Twice I was told "it's going out tomorrow." I understand backlogs, but not BS.

you have probably been scammed. this is something that a lot of cons are doing now; they open up a website with seemingly low, but not unrealistically low, prices. of course, attracted to their prices, you buy their stuff, and they then proceed to put your money into a holding account where it gains interest. eventually, their customers figure out they are never going to get their stuff, and request their money back. the company will give you the run-around for as long as possible, in order to keep your money for as long as possible.
my advice: ask for your money back NOW. dont be fooled by, "we are sending it out soon," or "we made the transfer, we dont know why it hasnt shown up."
tell them you will call your credit card company and report them as a pilfering website if they do not refund your money. and then call your credit card company anyway. threaten to leave multiple negative reviews on as many websites as possible. and then do it.
basically, hose these people like they are hosing you.

Inquiring, not bashing
Thanks Brent - I was just trying to find out if other guys had worked with BFS/Rich and what their experiences were. If I heard back they had to wait 6 weeks, but got their stuff and it was made well, OK, no problem.
I'm not trying to bash him. I did exchange email inquiries with him though. That's why I went on another (this) forum to solicit, hopefully, independent opinions. That way I could decide if I'm going to have a problem or not.

Update on BFS - looks like an OK Company
I got my stuff from them this week - it was well made, what I ordered, fit right and was well painted. They apparently can get back logged though, so you may have to wait awhile, like a month, to get your order.
They should tell customers that up front, though, and give realistic estimates when asked. Other than that, they have a lot of well designed, interesting mount systems for 1919s that I haven't seen other places on the internet.

im glad it ended well.
i have had experience with companies that do the exact same thing, but are not on "backlog" or anything like that, which is why i am very weary of the kinds of responses you were getting: they sounded word for word like what you would get out of BS scam companies. (immediate credit card charge, "we'll send it out tomorrow," "its on backlog....our online inventory doesn't always update.")

Hi Jimmy - I didn't know about Tyler, so Googled them. Holy Crap, the Smith & Wesson forum has 22 PAGES of complaints about the company! It seems like a good idea to check any online company out before ordering from them, on the forums and complaint sites.
You'd think that in this economy, people would be happy for the business and do whatever it took to keep customers ordering and happy, including expanding. They must be expending as much time and effort handling complaints as they do making stuff. Seems like a no-brainer, but a lot of guys want to just create a job for themselves and not a business. They take "self-employed" literally, like it's a perpetual motion machine, instead of being powered by customers.

Divisibility of the Dirac Magnetic Monopole as a Two-Vector Bundle over the Three-Sphere
We show that when the gerbe $\mu$ representing a magnetic monopole is viewed as a virtual 2-vector bundle, then it decomposes, modulo torsion, as two times a virtual 2-vector bundle $\varsigma$. We therefore interpret $\varsigma$ as representing half a magnetic monopole, or a semipole.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 19D50, 55P43, 81S10, 81T40.
Keywords and Phrases: magnetic monopole, gerbe, two-vector bundle, higher algebraic $K$-theory, topological Hochschild homology.

Logan's Run
A NovelBook - 1967
From the critics

I watched this movie on a whim when it was featured on the retro movie channel. I was interested in it because of a joke on a popular animated comedy series. I am so glad that I picked up the book to read. It was very different than the movie and so much better. Very detailed and well written, this is a quick and enjoyable read for anyone who enjoys the sci-fi and/or dystopian genres.
This novel is a breathless, hair-raising thrill ride that gives the reader little chance to slow down or draw breath, which is what you would expect given the premise of the story. Someone once stated that an action motion picture should be like a boardwalk roller coaster--it should make you chuck your popcorn and barf your cola. This is just that kind of novel. So utterly does it speed you along that the reader is barely given time to question the basic underpinnings of this society. When we do get the explanation for the current state of government, it's plunked down in the latter end of the novel with such abrupt awkwardness, you half suspect that the writers included it only at the behest of a frantic editor (it takes up barely three pages). The book could just as easily have lumbered on without it. The titular hero and his (mostly) hapless damsel in distress pulled along for the ride don't get much chance for reflection either. How could they? They're only 21 in a society devoted to youth, hedonism and mindless entertainment. Such a system doesn't allow for introspection. Logan 3 never thinks to question the system and this inner lack forms a hollow at his center that allows only for ruthless action. When he's called upon to think in one charged scenario, he literally freezes, unable to move as the mental storm rages within him. His conscience isn't a still inner voice; it has a physical aspect in the form of Jessica 6. She bitterly rages at him for his role in killing people even as he attempts to shrug off the moral aspect of what he does. Logan says to keep moving. Jessica wants him to think. Yang to yin. Logan is your typical action hero that you might find in any 19th-century novel of this stripe. He's cunning, resourceful and a physically powerful fighter capable of dealing with almost any hardship that comes his way. Jessica is beautiful, defiant and willing to adapt, however reluctantly, to altered circumstances. The people they meet are suspicious, hostile and potentially dangerous. That's about it in terms of character. The myriad characters barely manage to attain more than this two-dimensional aspect. So it's the story you concentrate on, the kaleidoscopic, constantly shifting images as Logan and Jessica plunge from one bizarre scenario to another. From a ruined underworld filled with predatory, murderous pre-teens to a broken-down underwater city called Molly. From a barren ice landscape where food is so scarce people have turned to cannibalism to survive to a crazed cyborg who is both artist and sadistic killer. The weirdness of these locales is equally matched by their denizens, altered by circumstance and atmosphere to suit the brutal lives they lead. This isn't gifted world-building by any means or even particularly good writing. But it's an amazing story, just a notch above the ridiculous action-adventure novels penned by H. Rider Haggard. And as for the youth-oriented society? That's not so far-fetched in the year of the millenial, is it? "Logan's Run" isn't the best science fiction novel you'll ever read. But it's not a bad way to pass an afternoon.
A dystopian novel written in 1967 when the forecast was starvation for the rapidly growing population that was ultimately proven fanciful with the ramping up of the Green Revolution. The narrative is delivered in a staccato way. A short novel so the characterization is limited. Kind of fun to see how wrong the consensus
turned out to be. Worth reading if you are interested.

|The Felipe de Neve Library was built in 1929 in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles. In the subsequent decades after construction, a number of community groups advocated for unique landscape insertions to the site. The Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks built a lily pond and a series of terraces descending down the slope from the Library. On and adjacent to these terraces and pool, members of the public installed a Shakespeare Garden, and later, a Fragrant Garden for the Blind designed by noted landscape architect Edward Huntsman-Trout, designer of Scripps College in Claremont, CA. Yet over time, these gardens were abandoned by city services, and today, while extant, exist only in a state of ruin. In this study, the nature of this site is investigated and evaluated through its history. What do we have here? Is this an important site? Is this a site worth restoring or rehabilitating? How do the physical remnants of the site relate to the people and events of early Los Angeles? Through an in-depth investigation of archival photographs, news stories, and books, the history and meaning behind the site and its surrounding environs are discovered. In the final chapter, we discuss the historic integrity and significance of the site, and how this might be transposed to a rehabilitation or restoration. We conclude that the gardens of the Felipe de Neve Library are an important resource for the city of Los Angeles. Designed to provide respite, entertainment, and education for the public, the gardens encapsulate the history of a neighborhood, and if rehabilitated, would allow the current residents of Westlake to add the next chapter to its rich history.
