I’m supposed to love this building, since it’s the new downtown library and all new downtown libraries are regarded as AWESOME things that revitalize and so on, but this one leaves me cold. And it’s by one of my favorite architects, too. Cesar Pelli. It just is. The atrium is better than no atrium, but every time I go there, I am filled with Meh. The showcase was supposedly for teens, which made her a wee bit apprehensive: what if everyone’s older than us? Then they will be, I suppose. As it happens we were the entire audience. That’s it. Three. Outnumbered by the people putting on the show. Or attempting to put it on. The first projector in the big room was broken, so we moved to a side room. They couldn’t get the laptop on which the DVD was located to connect to the speakers. Many http://lileks.com/bleat/?p=7689 Page 4 of 16 Perfect 10 | The Bleat. 12/3/13, 8:45 AM muttered oaths. Another cord was procured, and now we had sound but no picture. After five minutes of bootless troubleshooting it was all moved to another room, where the laptop successfully made contact with the various interfaces, and the show began! Then ended when the laptop died after five minutes. Another laptop was found. It did not have the Windows DVD program. The person operating the machine tried to open the file with a program that converted DVDs to DivX, I think – but then I spotted the orange traffic cone on the application list and told them to use that, it would open anything. It did. 40 minutes into the show, we sat back to watch . anime! Samurais were involved, and lots of leaping and dodging and occasionally a single inordinately large drop of sweat would roll down the hero’s forehead. Yes, it was that anime! You’ve seen it too? Awesome! (Actually, I overcame my standard reaction to anime, and enjoyed. Still don’t know why there were enormous robots who oppressed the people in order to steal their . rice.) So what sort of library would I want? Something that says LIBRARY. Modern libraries are considered such because they say OBVIOUSLY NOT AN OFFICE BUILDING. I like ‘em Roman, frankly, although I grew up with a 1967 ultra- modern structure that seemed like it an embassy from the future. Stark, white, with two-story reading rooms. Over the years its spare modernism was cluttered up until it became a warehouse of unrelated visuals, like gaudy ornaments hung on an aluminum tree. That was Fargo, and few tears were shed when it went down . except by some. Before that the library was a tiny Carnegie across from the Graver: It had pillars, and clanking radiators, and smelled like old books. It had the visual vocabulary of Civic Architecture, which is what I miss. There’s no such thing anymore. The last gasp was WPA Moderne, I suppose, aka Nazi Classicism. Well, yes, I’ll say it. Not Nazi in intention, but part of the same statist wave that planed down traditional forms into stark machines intended to communicate the heft of the state, not the traditions behind it. http://lileks.com/bleat/?p=7689 Page 5 of 16 Perfect 10 | The Bleat. 12/3/13, 8:45 AM I like it, for all that – perhaps because the true fascist examples were so much plainer and simpler and cruder and uglier. Hey! Monday. Usual drill. PopCrush starts at 9 AM, Tumblr starts at 10 AM, PopCrush videos go front-page at noon. In the afternoon, if I remember, the next four pages of LA Dining 1962. Oh: yep. Last Friday? Lum and Abner. Pass it along, if you wish 50 RESPONSES TO perfect 10 Roadgeek says: August 2, 2010 at 2:11 am Oh, you would’ve liked my hometown library. Built in 1923 as a US Post Office, it was a red brick structure with concrete trim. I grew up wondering who Andrew Mellon was, for his name was engraved in the cornerstone. When the PO moved to their new building in 1957 (it still has its Civil Defense Shelter placard, long faded by now) the library moved into the red building. It had beautiful steps in the front, and I thought it was one of the best places in the Universe. All those books. It was tight, and compact, and I know now that the librarians hated it. But it looked and felt like an impressively permanent repository of knowledge, and I treasured every visit. The library moved in 1977 to a new marble monstrosity with atriums and unobstructed sight lines and plenty of parking and I hated it and would hardly ever go back. It wasn’t the same, somehow.

  • MARY Christmas – Touchpoint for December 16, 2020
    MARY Christmas – TouchPoint for December 16, 2020 Luke 1:26-38 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.” But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.” Then Mary said, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.

  • Biography Hit Man
    DAVID FOSTER “I believe that everyone gets three rounds in their life,” says musician, songwriter, composer, arranger, producer, and recording artist David Foster. “For me, two are completed and I’m on to Round Three. I think you have to change it up every round. My mantra is retreat and attack in another direction, which I’ve done twice. Now I'm going to do it again.” Foster’s first round was as a studio musician, arranger, and recording artist. His second round was becoming one of the most successful songwriters and record producers in history — shepherding albums that have collectively sold in the hundreds of millions. This period of his four-decade career also found him creating The David Foster Foundation and volunteering his time and talent to over 400 charities, as well as becoming a household name as a performer throughout Asia where he tours annually. For his third round, Foster is gearing up to take on Broadway with several projects. These include writing the music for a new musical about the iconic, animated character Betty Boop, which will be directed by Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell. He is writing the music for a musical based on the Amy Bloom novel and New York Times bestseller Lucky Us, directed by Tony Award-nominee Sheryl Kaller. Foster is also developing a scripted narrative one-man show based on the story of his career that he will perform himself. And finally, he is gearing up to write an original show with Oscar-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri that Foster describes as “a cross between The Bodyguard and The Phantom of the Opera.” As one of the most illustrious composers of our time, Foster’s skill set of creating hits, writing indelible melodies, and building dramatic moments, has primed him for this third round.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Graveyard Special by James Lileks Lileks: an Early Fair? It's Against the Laws of Nature
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Graveyard Special by James Lileks Lileks: An early fair? It's against the laws of nature. No, hold on. I'm not the only who feels this way, I'm certain. Suddenly it's a looming issue. The State Fair, the Great Minnesota Get-Together, has announced a "mini-fair" on Memorial Day Weekend, and for many it's tempting. Except for the whole "Get Together" part. First, what's a Mini Fair? Does that mean everything is half-scale? That would be amusing. Instead of big lumbering cows, there would be very small cows (or as those farm kids say with their special country lingo, "calves"). The big swing ride on the midway goes up only 7 feet, which is great if it gets stuck. In normal times when it ceases to operate and everyone's dangling, you don't have the "hop off" option. Well, you do, but it's not advised. What else would a resized fair have? Half-sized neon-hued yardsticks, which would work as walking sticks only if you went around on your knees — which perhaps also would be mandatory under the miniaturized theme. Fairchild, the mascot gopher, would be replaced by an actual gopher, manipulated with marionette strings to make it walk erect. (Note to the person who has to put on its clothes: Make sure you're up on all your shots, and we just don't mean COVID.) I know what you're thinking: what of Mini Donuts? In a Mini Fair, would they just cut the number in half, or reduce the size of the doughnuts? Is it even possible to reduce the size of Mini Donuts? At some point the center aperture no longer will be visible, and then people will think they're doughnut holes.

  • The Music of Donny Hathaway Everything Is Everything Donny Hathaway, 1970
    SUMPTUOUS SOUL: THE MUSIC OF DONNY HATHAWAY EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING DONNY HATHAWAY, 1970 Keisha Hicks A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2014 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Rebecca Mancuso, Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Radhika Gajjala © 2014 Keisha Hicks All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor The song “This Christmas” by Donny Hathaway is played only once a year during the holiday season. His presence is so strong during the holidays for African Americans because he is one of the distinctive cultural markers of the season. The question at hand is why is he relegated to the Christmas season but what about the rest of the year. In 2010, National Public Radio (NPR) created the series 50 Great Voices as a way to expose NPR listeners to artists who were not at the forefront of public consciousness. On June 26, 2010 Donny Hathaway debuted as the “Neglected Heart of Soul” but does “neglected” hold up. I believe “neglected” becomes situational depending on who is doing the remembering. The objective of my dissertation is to locate Donny Hathaway as a central figure in 1970s Soul music, to understand his growing influence over contemporary artists, and his musical legacy. I used Stuart Hall’s “representation” as my overarching theoretical framework. I wanted a theory that would be fluid enough to be relevant in the different phases of Donny Hathaway’s musical career. By using representation I was able to identify and understand the musical influences on Donny Hathaway.

  • 1 December 20, 2015 AM Pastor Ken Hepner “Have a Mary Christmas
    December 20, 2015 AM Pastor Ken Hepner “Have a Mary Christmas” Luke 1:26 – 38 Introduction: This Christmas Sunday morning, I invite you to take some time to reflect with me things that really matter in life. I want to begin by looking at what the shepherds heard the angels say and then sing to them, Luke 2:8 – 14. Their message was a word about Loving people deeply and Peace on Earth, good will toward humankind. What culture has done with its message about loving others and peace in our relationships is really remarkable. We are all able to sit here this morning completely at ease in this wondrous season of joy, peace, giving, and good will toward humankind. The reason we feel so rested and inwardly refreshed is that we have spent our last number of days in quiet, peaceful, and restful enjoyment of life. We are so grateful for the stress free lifestyle we are living. The message the angels sang to the shepherds abiding in the fields watching their flocks was “Peace on earth, good will toward men.” What we have done with this spiritual message, of peace on earth in and through the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, is quite often a pretty far cry from what the angels had in mind as they sang. Our culture’s message blares at every one of our senses, with astounding regularity. The message is “Tis the season to be jolly, to express joy through getting, to be festive and indulge ourselves at parties.” Christmas is about shopping so that, on Friday as our children open our presents to them, the message of peace on earth through what Jesus has come to do for us all will be loudly proclaimed by our celebration.
