Christianity In A One-Story Universe - Part 3; God In The Ordinary
November 03, 2007 Length: 15:02
"It's not until we cease to divide the world into ordinary and extraordinary, into usual and unusual, into sacred and secular, that we will have either the possibility of knowing God, much less living the Christian life." -- Fr. Stephen Freeman
"This is the first time I have missed Easter services for about twenty years, because I am recovering from a foot operation. I wanted to feel I was still taking part in the services and was delighted to find your recordings. One of our priests said you might have them, and lo and behold, it was so. Thank you so much."

Was raining this morning..I opened the umbrella and voila, 4-5 metal wired parts fall out of the umbrella, and I'm unable to open the umbrella to its full size. Welps, I guess that's the end of that. Oh well, I think. I have my jacket, and it's only drizzling. Right when I walk out of my car, I see my friend Gary (from bldg 500), who happens to be carrying a HUGE umbrella. HUGE as in 4-5 peoples' worth of umbrella. He happens to be walking to our bldg to see someone, so he graciously shares his umbrella with me.
When I get to my office, I tell my boss about my broken umbrella, and he asks me if I want to borrow his spare (still has the tag on it).
God provides lavishly ! I don't even really care about rain that much, but it's pretty funny how things happen :d i feel spoiled by my heavenly Father =d

Tim and I ate at M Kee (best restaurant in Philly Chinatown. seriously. All must try it.) for dinner yesterday before a meeting. We saw one of the chefs, a cute older man with a crew cut and a tuft of gray/whitish hair that curls up at his forehead, come out from the kitchen. We smiled at him, and I hoped that he would take it to mean that we liked the food a lot.
After dinner, we went to King Market for some veggies, and saw the same chef in the aisle! He waved at us, and we waved back. I told Tim, "i think i'm star struck!!!!" (why star struck? what a baller chef! the food is always delicious! it's funny because in western restaurants, there is not much demand for 'old' chefs, but in Chinese restaurants, it seems that chefs get better with age, like wine or sourdough starter? )
Another time, I was crossing the street and I waved to a lady in glasses wearing a flouncy floral shirt. She waved back. After I passed her, I thought to myself, "I know her! What's her name? How do I know her?"
After I passed her, I realized that I usually see this same lady in a bright orange polo shirt. She's a waitress at M Kee! :D
God is funny. This also means that Tim and I eat at M Kee a lot..

when i read my past journal entries, i am so thankful for God's faithfulness. I really thank God that I am no longer the foolish girl I was years ago. Hindsight really IS 20/20, and now I see how many times God was trying to point me in the right direction, but I was too selfish to follow His guidance. How has God responded? He has given me so much grace and mercy. SO much. I have what I do not deserve.

The garden in front keeps surprising me. A few weeks ago, pretty lilies bloomed (for only a short while..I think it was too hot). Yesterday, the day after it rained/thundered, I saw black eyed susans pop up in the yard!
The patch of green in front of the twin home where I live in may be slightly unkempt and overgrown, but everything that blooms from it is beautiful. The different timing of blooms reminds me, just as Sarah gave birth to Isaac in her old age, and Joseph waited to get out of prison, and many others, that God is faithful in His timing.

I did a big fb-defriend lately, where I unfriended people I hadn't talked to since hs/college graduations, or people who I don't normally chat with on a semi-normal basis. I decided that it was kind of weird of ME to creep on them via pictures only, and also would be weird for him/her to creep on me via pictures and fb content only, as well.
Social media is very odd, because you can learn about the person by looking at his/her wall posts, photos, and what other people write on fb walls. There is a disconnect, though, because you don't really KNOW the person on a personal level. At best, you can see any drastic changes (funky hairstyles, major weight gain/loss, fashion re-vamping, an emergence of a new hobby), and decide to judge or not just him or her based on the content you see. Or, maybe you will be jealous of that new job he or she got. Maybe you will be jealous of what cool city he or she lives in, or what delicious restaurants he or she eats at! Maybe you will wish you went to xyz awesome vacation spot, and covet the money he/she has. Or, maybe you will snicker at his or her shortcomings or judge him or her based on the types of pictures he/she is tagged in. I am guilty of all of the above! Just not the job part, haha.
Lately, a few people have requested to re-friend me. I wonder how they even noticed I had de-friended them?
Funnily enough, for almost all these people I have yet to have another real, one-on-one conversation with them. The last time I saw or spoke to one of these people was probably years ago. YEARS, guys. And most of the time, being fb friends again or not being fb friends again, doesn't usually compel ME to strike up a conversation with him or her again, nor him/her with me. sooo…what's the use of fb friend access?
Maybe she/he wanted to "like" a post (or roll his/her eyes and think, I can't believe she got engaged to HIM, or can't believe he got engaged to HER) or get updates on me to satisfy their curiosity without having to strike up a conversation. What's the point of having fb access to someone, if you don't care enough about him/her to initiate real conversation? Is it just for nosiness's sake?
I'm not sure. but it's weird to me….

a coworker saw that i was engaged, and this is how the conversation proceeded:
coworker: "so, when is he moving in?"
me: errr uuhmmm we aren't going to live together until we get married.
coworker: good. you're doing things the right way.
whew! i guess i judged his expression incorrectly. in a culture where living together w/o being married is almost expected or encouraged (a girl co-worker had asked the same question of me a few months ago, and she had lived with her ex-boyfriend), it was refreshing to hear someone who was on "our" side.

i burned my thumb on sunday night on cast iron that was coming out of a 400 degree oven. my thumb blistered over IMMEDIATELY, and it hurt quite a bit as I dunked it in water for a good 10-15 minutes, then Ling wrapped it in an aloe vera leaf. it was a big white blister the size of a nickel (?) that was semi wrinkly..
i prayed, 'God, please let my thumb heal quickly!' but I wondered just how quickly a blistered-over burn would heal. i also thought, oh whew, good thing I'll be in training for Tues and Wed..just have to work slowly and avoid using my left thumb on Monday.
I showed my thumb to my baker co-worker, and she was like, "oh! let me fix you up". She proceeded to put a blob of neosporin on the blistered thumb and a heavy duty bandage. I didn't use my thumb the rest of the day.
at night, it was shower time, so then, time to take the bandage off! i was really curious as to what it looked like after being in a bandage all day.
HEALED! seriously. healed after a little over 24 hours. really, God?!
this is a picture of my thumb today- you can barely tell the difference between lefty and righty.
I marveled at how quickly it had healed after I showed Tim today, then I heard God say, "well, didn't you pray for it to be healed quickly? what did you expect?"
Oh, me of little faith. This is one small step that God is using to grow my faith in Him.
Thanks, God, for sending aloe vera and Heidi and restoring my thumb sooo quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Former Michigan State wide receiver Plaxico Burress will be released from jail Monday, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
USA Today cited Rosenhaus' Twitter account on which he said: "I'm excited about Plax's release Monday. He'll be a highly sought after free agent once the lockout is over. He's in great shape & healthy."
Burress, who will turn 31 on August 12, has been in jail since 2009 on a weapons conviction. Burress, a Super Bowl-winning wide out with the New York Giants, suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 2008 at a New York City nightclub.
But on to the juicy stuff: Where will Burress – who has said he intends to return to the NFL – end up?
According to USA Today, fellow former inmate Michael Vick said Burress would be welcomed on the Philadelphia Eagles, which no doubt would lead to a lot of "Jail Bird" headlines.
Peter King lists his predictions for potential suitors here and, to no one's surprise, the Jets are on that list. Plaxico Burress profile

Lavish Praise on Your Employees, But Be Specific
I thought this was pretty interesting.
Don't Praise Employees…Praise Their Work or Abilities
- "I don't get it! If I tell an employee how well he did a certain work task, did I not just praise the employee?" No, what you did was praise the work done by the employee.
- "What's the difference?"
- When you praise an employee and not the work you are communicating to the employee that you value him or her as a person, instead of saying that you value a particular skill he or she possesses or the amount of hard work it took to get a certain job done. For example, Debbie is a salesperson who just signed up a new customer for your company. Now you have a choice, you can either tell Debbie that she is a great and terrific person, or you can tell Debbie that you appreciate all the hard work she did in order to sign-up the new customer.
- For the complete article go to employee-employee.com
The author points out some interesting distinctions between praising the employee and praising the work of the employee. It definitely makes s4ense and should go a long way to avoid confusion in the work place.
I do see where when you include and reinforce your employees they perform better. When Corra performs professional reference verifications for client job candidates, we always ask "What is the best way to work with that person." Most often, we will hear, "Be inclusive and provide positive reinforcement."
But what was it that Ronald Reagan is so well known for saying. Trust but verify. Hence the need to run background checks on your job candidates. A good preemployment screening program can tell you if you have the right person for the job. Once you do bring that person aboard, you can praise his work, or not, all day long.
Check them out before you hire.

i am not familiar with alpha but all i can say is did you check the integrity of the images before you burned them? well this is if you downloaded the images and made them yourself.
also, what kind of prompt are you getting? you can defintely get a boot floppy i would imagine or make one. im sure there will be more info posted.
SDMy signature really sucks
January 18th, 2003, 02:03 PM #3
You can make one with the Red Hat disk using rawwrite....but if the CD is presenting you with a prompt then it is booting. Is it asking you for which kernel to boot and install? Have you tried hitting F2 or F3 at the prompt to see if it will present flags or options.
January 18th, 2003, 02:09 PM #4
these are retail disks willie. it comes to a prompt that consists of ">>>"
i can do an ls and it gives me all kinds of stuff.
i am a total newb
i am looking thru the ftp site now for a disk
January 18th, 2003, 02:12 PM #5
i tried f2 and f3 nothing happened. although f1 turned on scroll lock
so if i have cd 1 in and a floppy in, dont i need to mount the cdrom drive first and then run some command to create the boot disk
January 18th, 2003, 02:24 PM #6
ok i just found a bootlx file on the ftp server. what do you think i do with taht? it is the only file in the boot directory
January 18th, 2003, 02:28 PM #7
whoa....i just took that floppy back to the alpha box and when i had left it 20 minutes ago, i was running misc commands i found with ls. the last one was "start" well when i get back there, i still have the >>> prompt, but the cdrom light and all the lights down the down are flashing and it is making working noises. any hints?
January 18th, 2003, 03:22 PM #8
ok, it was loading the old OS, for which i cant get in without a username and password. any idea on how to install redhat???
January 18th, 2003, 04:11 PM #9
bumpity bump bump
January 25th, 2003, 10:54 AM #10
ok, back at the box this weekend. do you think compaq would support old machines? anybody know of boot disks, or anyother way i can boot from the cdrom. or any commands at all to do anything.
March 31st, 2003, 08:20 PM #11

The current synthetic formulation of hGH, manufactured by pharmaceutical giants like Eli Lilly and Genentech, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for adult use 10 months ago, but only for select patients who suffer from AIDS-related wasting syndrome; from a rare form of growth hormone deficiency, or for recovery from surgery on the pituitary gland (the body's source of growth hormone).
An anti-aging course of hGH injections, which can be self-administered, can cost more than $20,000 a year. The physicians who prescribe it make bold promises: Besides redistributing body fat and building lean muscle, the doctors say, hGH is reputed to enhance memory, sex drive and cardiovascular capacity, increase skin firmness and elevate mood. The doctors also say they have seen no adverse side effects.
M Y patients who used to take antidepressants don't take them anymore,'' said Dr. Denese, whose practice includes models, bankers and the occasional faded rock star (Deborah Harry of Blondie is a client). ''They take hGH and it makes their mood lighter. Even I take it, and I'm more animated, I feel good and I don't take Prozac anymore.''

The Tohu 10th anniversary season launch Wednesday included a surprise announcement.
The North American premiere of the second segment (Coeur, or Hearts) of director Robert Lepage's four-part series, Playing Cards, will play Montreal's unique circus arts venue Jan. 30 to Feb. 9, 2014.
This will be preceded by the Montreal premiere of part one (Pique, or Spades) of the same Lepage series, also at Tohu, Jan. 14-25, 2014. Spades premiered at the Luminato Festival in June 2012 (where it received mixed reviews). It went on to play London, England, France, Austria and Russia.
Performed by six actors in the round, Spades focuses on a group of wandering internationals who have crossed paths in Las Vegas in 2003, at the outset of the Iraq War. It was described by Guardian critic Michael Billington as "hypnotic to look at." However, he confessed it left him in two minds: "admiration for the dazzling technical means, but bewilderment over the desired intellectual ends."
Hearts, which moves between Algeria, France and Quebec between 1848 and The Arab Spring, has not yet been reviewed. It will be road-tested in Germany this fall. The other two parts of the series, Diamonds and Clubs, remain in the planning stages.
The 10th Tohu season kicks off Oct. 1-13 with Hans Was Heiri, performed by a Swiss troupe, Zimmermann and de Perrot. A return engagement of Les 7 doigts de la main's hit show, Traces, will play the holiday season, from Dec. 17 to 31. Australia's renowned Circus Oz will present its From the Ground Up!, described by the New York Times as "mischievous, beautiful and risky," Feb. 27 to March 9, 2014.
And the École nationale de cirque will present its two annual end-of-year shows between May 27 and June 8, 2014.
Other Tohu activities will include two April children's events, a book launch, seven exhibitions and the 11th edition of the street dance competition Bust a Move, May 2-3, 2014.
Tohu subscriptions are now on sale. Purchase of a minimum of three shows may include both Lepage works. (Example: Circus Oz plus the two Lepage shows would cost $156.75.) Individual Lepage tickets, at $60 each, won't be available until Oct. 12. For more on Tohu, visit www.tohu.ca

"Uitstekend"Beoordeeld door een gast van Hotels.com op 13 feb, 2013
Het hotel is modern en heel netjes. Het personeel is heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam en de kamer was uitermate comfortabel en van alle gemakken voorzien. Het hotel bevindt zich op 5-10 minuten van het vliegveld (per taxi) en er zijn 2 supermarkten vlakbij, maar verder is er in de directe omgeving weinig te doen/beleven.

De luchthaven van San Diego ligt vlak bij het water en ten noordwesten van het centrum. Je vindt bij de luchthaven het Diego Convention Center, het PetCo Park-stadion en de Gaslamp Quarter's. De restaurants en bars van deze wijk zijn het middelpunt van het nachtleven van de stad. Balboa Park en de San Diego Zoo zijn de groene strook van deze stedelijke jungle. Op Coronado Island heb je een prachtig uitzicht op de skyline van de stad.

"Great room, good location"

"Fabulous Stay in San Diego"
Our family stayed at this historic and extremely customer-friendly hotel. Beautifully located in the Gas Lamp district and instant access to the best venues in town. Our view from the room was spectacular filled with all of the amenities that you would normally expect. This converted Bank & Trust building is well suited for the Marriott because it chose […] to preserve the prestigious and vintage lobby and reception area. Will definitely book here again.

"good but not great"
When I booked the hotel the pictures used were very inviting and luxurious. But when I receieved my room I found it to be smaller than what was pictured on the internet. My "hotel view" consisted of a rusty air vents and faded brick wall. Although, the room was very clean an neat house keeping wasn't anywhere to be found my entire stay.

We started in San Diego at this property for 4 nights and then went to the California coast area and used this same property our last evening before traveling home.

Construction was horrible. No parking structure. You have to pay for Valet at $36.00 per night. That should all be free with the price your paying for the room. It's $156 for a night and then add the parking fees.Geverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling
"Close to Gaslamp area"
Good hotel, a 20 minute walk to the harbour but next to Gaslamp district which has an amazing amount of restaurants, clubs, pubs and is a happening part of town.

"bachelorette party weekend"
Amazing rooms. Great location. Valet needs training though. 1st come 1st serve. We are all paying $36 just because someone thinks they are higher & mightier than the person in front of them does NOT give them the right to receive priority service. Very disappointed with valet service.Geverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling
"Convenient location"
Overall good stay. Price increased during Labor Day weekend. Downtown location super convenient. If you don't want to pay for the expensive valet parking there are a lot of public parking lots around.Geverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling
"Overall very nice hotel"
The hotel is beautiful and well maintained. It has been tastefully remodeled. The staff working the front desk were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Our room/bathroom was pretty (just like the pictures online), clean and comfortable. The hotel is located pretty much in the center of the Gaslamp District which is convenient because you can walk to several […] places, but I personally didn't like the area too much as it was congested and kind of dirty. Next time I would probably stay a few clocks out of the Gaslamp or closer to the water. Meer infoGeverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling
"Not what I was expecting..."
I was expecting more from this stay, but then I remember that I was staying at a Courtyard. The hotel itself is interesting, old bank building that was converted into a hotel was a fun experience. After I checked in I was expecting a bell boy to help me with my 2 big suitcases, but no one around, the reception clerk told me I could help my self by carrying […] them in the ramp (really?!). Another disapointment was that I book what clearly said "Ocean View" room, when it only includes a partial water view (nice tho, but should have been more clear since the hotel is not in a waterfront location). The room was clean, and loved the decoration, still think it needed more services like including bottled water (free or for sale). I was so dissapointed on what the gaslamp district became, a place with a bunch of clubs and bars for college kids. To spend 1 night was okay, do not expect too much. It was an okay deal, but next time I will avoid the Gaslamp at all. Meer infoGeverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling
"Great place to stay"
This was a great place to stay for my girlfriends and I the night of my bachelorette party! The room was clean and nicely decorated. I have two small complaints. 1. We had a few girls getting ready and all of us agreed that the lighting was really hard to do our makeup in. In the one well lit room, the bathroom, the counter was too wide to allow you […] to see your makeup close up while applying. I know this sounds like a silly girl thing, but it makes a difference to a girl to be able to have even a small mirror to pull out and use. 2. The second complaint was kind of a big one. We booked the hotel for 4 guests with one girl having a back problem and needing her own bed. The third person was planning on sleeping on a hide-away bed. We checked in and went up to our room and while we were getting ready called to get one delivered and they said we couldn't have one in our room due to it being a fire hazard. While I understand this, and wouldn't want to create and issue, it was very inconvenient and made one of my guests who helped pay for the room sleep on the floor. There was no solution offered. Overall, everyone was very polite and helpful and I would stay here again. Meer infoGeverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling
"The King suite"

Location was perfect for us. Right downtown where we wanted to be. Hotel was very nice inside, but pricey. The only very very big complaint was that the air conditioning didn't work very well at all and that our mini fridg didn't get cold enough to keep anything in it. For $300 a night I suggest you stay in a 1 bedroom suite at the gaslamp plaza suite […] right around the corner( better view of gaslamp too),but could get a little more noise Meer infoGeverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling

"Great stay start to finish!!"
We were impressed from the very beginning of our stay! The location can be a little hectic as the area is set up one -way streets, but once you get a feel for that it's not too bad. Check-in was quick and pleasant and our luggage came to our room within a few minutes. It was delivered by a VERY pleasant and informative bellman. He gave us highlights […] of the area and offered to give us a tour of the BEAUTIFUL building that houses the hotel. It is a rennovated vintage bank building, and whoever helmed this project, in my opinion, deserves an award... it is a PERFECT marrying of the vintage aspects of the building with modern materials. Our room felt new and the decorations were classy, it was very rooomy, new bathroom as well with seperate sink. We ordered room service the first night and the food came hot and within the time specified. Breakfast the first morning was such a nice surprise! We expected the garden variety buffet and omelette station, but it was a small menu of delicious hand-crafted offerings; friendly and eficient wait staff! The valet service throughout the weekend was so reliable and the gentlemen so pleasant. It made coming and going in the busy location a breeze. It is right around the corner from the heart of the Gaslamp District, but just enough away that it is out of the main fray. We were on Coronado Island in 10 min, same to the Zoo, and less than 30 min to LaJolla. Our whole stay was SO pleasant, we would recommend this hotel to ANYONE!

My stay was short but very comforting. This hotel was the first I had stayed at which allowed the guest to decide whether we wanted to have the room cleaned and serviced which I liked.

"Nice hotel downtown"
Overall, my experience at this hotel was wonderful. The lobby was recently renovated and the room was beautiful. I had room service one morning and the food was delicious, if not slightly overprice by all of the fees. The valet service has a convenient texting option where you can text the valet number 10 minutes in advance to get your car. My only […] disappointment was that the valet who greeted me when I checked in described the valet service as "complimentary." By complimentary, he meant an additional fee added on at the end of your visit that you were not warned about. The fee was around 30 dollars. This unexpected fee was probably due to a lack of research on my part, but the fact that the valet described it as complimentary was unfortunate. In general, I had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend this if you are staying in the Downtown/Gaslamp area. Meer infoGeverifieerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling

One other negative, valet parking only.Geverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling

If he is not in the news for his movies nowadays, it does not mean that he is out of business. Bollywood actor-turned-businessman Vivek Oberoi has proposed a project to the Gujarat government. That of cleaning up Narmada canals by dredging and desilting.
Oberoi held a long meeting with revenue minister Anandiben Patel, water resources minister Babu Bokhiriya and government spokesman Saurabh Patel at Swarnim Sankul-1 at the state secretariat on Wednesday.
Patel, who is also the energy and petrochem minister, said the Bollywood actor had made a presentation to the group of ministers about his project. "He has come up with a good idea and now the government would deliberate on it. He has proposed a project of cleaning Narmada canals through dredging and desilting which would clear the obstacles and allow water to move fast in the canal," said Patel.
The spokesman further stated that Oberoi has collaborated with some US company, which is working on dredging work. But, he did not mention the cost of the work. "It is very premature to say anything as the government is yet to consider this project. However, it was discussed that the government may give a couple of stretches of canal to see the work and take a decision after that," said Oberoi.
Incidentally, the actor-cum-entrepreneur has also proposed to use the waste that would be recovered from the canals to develop wormi-compost.

Dell seen as winner in HP's PC exit
- Staff Silicon Valley Business Journal
Dell Inc. is seen as a likely beneficiary of Hewlett-Packard Co.'s decision to exit the PC business.
Dell stock (NASDAQ:DELL) rose almost 2 percent to $14 on Friday, the day after Palo Alto-based HP (NYSE:HPQ) announced it planned to spin off its PC unit.
HP stock dropped 20 percent.
Needham & Co. analyst Richard Kugele upgraded Dell stock to "buy" from "hold" because of the market disruption he expects to see in the wake of the HP decision.
Kugele cited what happened when HP bought Compaq and when IBM sold its PC business to Lenovo. In both instances, Dell won customers who were using equipment made by the company that was acquired.
For its part, Dell on Friday said it has no intention of getting out of the PC business as IBM did and now HP plans to do.
Dell's revenue from PCs and other devices in the most recent quarter dropped to $8.5 billion from $8.6 billion last year.
The Texas company is in the process of establishing a campus in Silicon Valley, consolidating several acquired companies and hiring more as it beefs up in the region.

Let those with ears to hear, hear. But isn't the question, how many have ears to hear? Don't you think it's more likely that the viewer will be charmed by the "authenticity" of the show? It may not be Sex and the City, since it includes the ugliness; but might not that actually make the characters that much more attractive, because more relatable? Doesn't seem like Dunham is exactly drawing large, startling figures, here.
October 7th, 2013 | 1:34 pm
Your take is basically the way I read the show (having only seen a few episodes but read much about it.
The problem here is the way an author's intent can be misconstrued to do harm. E.g., Oliver Stone considered Gekko to be pure evil (at least in the first movie), but to a generation of younger viewers, Gekko is the hero to emulate.
That's leaving aside the question of what Dunham actually intends. I find the show incomprehensible as anything but parody of the vapidity of her generation/class (unaccomplished and therefore unjustifiably entitled blue city/state Millennials). However, in interviews, Dunham sounds a lot like Hannah, not like an author who is wiser than Hannah and whose intent is to point out Hannah's flaws. So, in all likelihood, Girls' parody is unintentional.
My fear is that too many young people watch and think "This is cool" and/or "Wow, that's just like my life!!" while only we (postmodern) conservatives watch and recognize the characters' lives for the fiascos they really are.
October 7th, 2013 | 1:55 pm
Two good comments on the issue of "authorial intent" and audience gullibility.
October 7th, 2013 | 3:05 pm
Interesting comments. I used to have a phrase for this: "Breakfast Club Syndrome". Back in the day, the great John Hughes made the low budget film Breakfast Club attempting to expose how highschool stereotypes such as jocks, nerds, prom-queens, etc, were ultimately phony and simplistic. Ironically, when my fellow teens at the time watched the film they loved it, then proceeded to categorize everyone they knew along the archetypes of each of the main characters corresponding stereotype.
What we have here is a revelation about popular consumers of art and cinema that many wish not to acknowledge: that the desire to identify with the characters often overwhelmes whatever deeper insight the art or form of popular culture was intended for. A similar thing seemed to have happened with fans of Breaking Bad, fascinatingly many of the shows fans apparently saw Walter White as heroic.
October 7th, 2013 | 4:12 pm
Peter's reaction to Girls reminds me of my reaction to the 2012 Democratic National convention. They spent four days discussing abortion, and I thought "who in the world do they think will respond well to this? Lena Dunham look-alike Sandra Fluke is delivering a keynote?! She's a 30-something elitist at one of the country's most expensive law schools demanding that everyone pay for the fulfillment of her sexual desires."
And then it got worse. A room full of Democratic delegates booed down a vote to mention God and recognize Israel in the Democratic platform.
Turned out I misread the political left and more than half of all voters (substantially more than half).
October 7th, 2013 | 5:16 pm
Each of the characters on the BREAKFAST CLUB was given stereotypically positive qualities and had a kind of integrity that shone through at the end. It stunk as a movie in so many ways, but…
I repeat: Who would identify with Hannah, who has no obvious positive qualities? Shoshanna maybe, given that she's stronger than she looks and all that.
October 7th, 2013 | 5:37 pm
Clearly Blerta has it all over the rest …
October 7th, 2013 | 7:16 pm
Escoffier and Pseudoplotinus, I thought that some of the reaction to Doughboy in Boyz n the Hood was a similar example of identification trumping artistic intent.
October 8th, 2013 | 8:35 am
My take on Breakfast Club is slightly different. Hughes is not quite saying the stereotypes are phony. He's saying that underneath all those layers (Rousseau's barnacles?) all these kids have similar souls, with the same fears, desires, insecurities, etc.
To some extent that is surely correct, but to the extent that it is correct, it is a truism and therefore not that insightful. The reason the movie works as well as it does is the setting. They're all "in trouble" and they're stuck together with no options. People from radically different cliques or what have you can find common ground out of necessity. And the movie ends before trying to show in a forced way how they now all hang out together at lunch, which would be BS. Also, it's quite honest about Claire's motivation for dating Bender—to piss off her parents.
For a truly awful example of the theme, see Can't Buy Me Love. It's a clever premise but the ending is awful. Basically, a geek buys his way into popularity, then loses favor, then regains at the end simply by giving a speech in response to which the entire school applauds. Preposterous.
October 8th, 2013 | 9:14 am
Escoffier, You are surely correct. That's the point of all the Hughes teeny movies. But the point is made in a funny way in SIXTEEN CANDLES. I would say more, but I draw the line at either BREAKFAST CLUB or HUGHES STUDIES
October 8th, 2013 | 10:53 am
Hughes is like Steinbeck. His comedies are generally great. When he tries to be profound, he fails.
October 8th, 2013 | 3:09 pm
Escoffier, agreed with everything you say except for the reason you give for its success. It succeeded at the box office because teenagers are a modern contruct of person without identity and lacking a society that offers substantive notions of social roles or moraes. Hughes unintentionally gave a teen audience definitions of identity and community that were "compelling" at least through the eyes of a teenager.
In effect Breakfast club was for a previous generation of teens what Girls seems to be becoming for this generation of young adults.
October 8th, 2013 | 7:12 pm
I just meant that, if you show a bunch of kids from different cliques coming together at a party or in the cafeteria or something, it immediately registers as phony. No one believes it for a second and the whole plot fails instantly.
But basically I think you are right. It's kind of like Rebel Without a Cause with a happy ending. Same basic premise.
October 9th, 2013 | 8:19 am
So what a number of comments are indicating is that Dunham is up against what I once labelled (in the Songbook) as the PWP, the Poetic Wisdom Paradox:
"the ironical stance toward market popularity that many rock artists adopted, the Pop Art stance, turns classic exotericism on its head: instead of providing something salutary for the masses that conceals within it the philosophy, Pop Art provides them with low pleasures the artists themselves despise or are ambivalent about. These are often made lower and cruder yet through the contempt involved, with disastrous cultural results given the majority of fans who do not get the irony."
Well, to her credit Dunham is not trying to be that sophisticated, as sophisticated as a David Bowie, for example. Rather, it's pretty darn OBVIOUS she's critiquing her Girls.
But it's still a fundamental problem.
October 9th, 2013 | 8:38 am
Well, that's a good quote. On BT and elsewhere, you see young women saying that the real meaning of GIRLS is that it's society's fault they're screwed up. That, of course, is not completely untrue.
October 9th, 2013 | 9:10 am
Peter, that's sort of like Walter White saying he did it all for the sake if his family. Incidentally true, but fundamentally evasive.
October 9th, 2013 | 9:31 am
"it's pretty darn OBVIOUS she's critiquing her Girls."
I don't know, Carl. I became mildly obsessed with this show when it first appeared. I read much of the pre-launch commentary and thought, "Oh lord save, us pop culture has found a new trough." Then I happened to be on a plane that showed several episodes in sequence and I thought, "Very crass, but this does effectively show the bankruptcy of 'hook-up' and Millennial entitlement!" Then I read several interviews with Dunham and it became clear to me that she is dead serious.
The show is not, in her mind, a satire, parody or critique—except, as Peter notes, a critique of the failure of parents and society to provide these people with dynamite dream lives that they are certain they deserve. Dunham is, to be blunt, a blithering idiot.
The best insights of the show are cribbed from various "game" blogs, all written by men, that explain the low side of female nature and how to … exploit it or get around it or manipulate it to (male) advantage. Dunham deserves credit, I supposed, for having seen the value in stealing from anti-feminist sources that the MSM would otherwise never touch. But I don't give her credit for much else.
October 9th, 2013 | 12:38 pm
There are too many parts of the show that are just too clever for her to be an idiot. I agree with the stealing from anti-femnists sources, though.
October 9th, 2013 | 12:59 pm
Well (this is not an insight new to me), one of the reasons TV has been better than movies for the last 10 years or so is that all the best shows are written by committees of 10-20 very smart people who work in total collaboration. Girls is like this too. From what I have read, when HBO realized they had a hit, they brought in some extra talent to keep the ball rolling.
In any case, if Dunham is not an idiot, she very effectively plays one in interviews.
October 9th, 2013 | 2:13 pm
"My objection to this bit of criticism is the lives of the "girls" on Girls are so obviously not desirable. The show displays promiscuity, self-indulgence, and self-medication as the foundations of really pathetic lives lacking in any insight into the key personal questions about "who I am" and "what I'm supposed to do."
So I would like to pose an answer to Peter's question "who would wan't to be Hannah?", by suggesting the question misunderstands the point of Girls' appeal.
In a phrase, AUTHENTICITY is the last standing virtue in a society that resides at the end of history. Manhattan, particularly Dunham's Manhattan (where apparently she grew up with parents in hyper elite artistic circles), is populated with elites who see themselves as humanity's first colonialists of history's end. In this context, Dunham's creations in Girls are poster children of this last virtue. What Peter sees as a conservative critique of contemporary amoralism, is really a post-moral embrace of the inherent absurdity of existence from a Post-Virtue perspective.
But SNL's skit offers us another insight however in the person of Tina Fey who, unlike Ms. Dunham, grew up in a middle-middle class family who, according to her book Bossy Pants, she characterizes as instinctively conservative. To a large extent Fey's humor seems to derive from a more grounded awareness which I suspect Dunham lacks. Her skewering of Girls, to my mind was an exercise of Aristophanic Parody of Elite pretenses of the highest order. In my opinion, Tina Fey reveals herself in this broadside as by far the superior wit who deserves a lot more admiration than Ms. Dunham.
October 9th, 2013 | 5:46 pm
Dunham is not an idiot because you watch her shows, Escoffier.
A basic understanding of how Progressivism(copyright/Capitalism) works would show you that when you sit down to watch a show you bless it with your limited resources (at the very least time, but also money).
Duh winning Dunham! Idiocy trickles down…
Carl Scott has his PWP or Poetic Wisdom Paradox, but I prefer the CWC the Copyright Wisdom Conundrum.
So you always see sentences like this: "But I don't give her credit for much else." You idiot, credit is from the latin for "trust/belief" is the trust which allows one party to provide resources to another party where that second party does not reimburse the first party immediately. You already gave her (or the supply chain logistics) debit, credit is not necessary.
Dunham doesn't need your "credit", because the terms of the financial transaction are likely not structured in this fashion. (where I am from you can't buy DVD's and watch them and then return them…) But in addition previous to watching you credited Dunham via Lawler, or (buzz on the internet) with being good enough for the time+money commitment. The "credit" or "trademark/reputation" buzz comes prior to the "debit" for the consumption of the "copyright".
So what you should say is I falsely credited Dunham previous to watching her, which led to a debit of $19.99 and 8 hours of my life. Now I want to "credit" her "authentically" for "stealing"
from anti-feminist sources that the MSM would otherwise never touch.
But why should the MSM touch anti-feminist sources? If it does touch them is it likewise making fair use subject to 17 USC § 107, or is it "stealing"?
Is the lack of anti-feminist sources a pressing question of public policy? Does this justify the progressivism of the founders(Article I section 8, clause 8), and the faith that certain authors should be granted for "Limited" times an exclusive right to alienate particular forms of "hatred" fixed in a tangible medium of expression?
So I don't watch girls, but I think Escoffier is right. Dunham is an idiot who has embraced and monetized herself.
But what folks like Lawler and Escoffier do is essentially give false hope to idiots that they will be able to monetize(find suckers who will give them debit in exchange for the possibility of deconstructing their lack of credit). What we should note instead is that Dunham is king of the fools, and she largely makes $ so that folks can have something to criticize culturally.
Good for the faculty lounge!
@PP, Walter White is heroic, he rejects the Dunhamness of Jesse and the so called Millennial entitlement, by holding chemistry out as sacred(the entire truth about what human beings are made from.) For Walter White is there such a thing as really grasping chemistry when one gets a 60%? NO! Is he willing to dilute his grades or his crystal meth? NO! Is there objective truth, is there a right and a wrong answer(Yes) Walter White really Hates Breakfast Club…
Should Walter White have to live in a world in which Dunham exists as a monetized/actualized penumbra of the science and the useful arts, and an ever present beacon of fluffy humanities-ness? Or should you start cooking Crystal Meth so that these can choke on their own vomit? .
okay, okay…so maybe there is quite a bit of room for moderation in between… and maybe just maybe, it is all Copyright.
October 9th, 2013 | 7:00 pm
I think the above comment by Pseudoplotinus gets to something important. It also ties into what we've been talking about in the Cowen thread.
The increasingly "winner take all" mindset in our society is really corrupting the youth. To oversimplify for effect, "winners" leave dreary small towns, burbs and boring mid-size cities in flyover country and move to the Big Blue cities on the coast. Losers stay home or end up in Cincinnati.
Winners end up making huge money in finance or consulting or some top prestige industry, or else do something "meaningful," preferably in the arts. Losers at best become management trainees at P&G. At worst they end up at WalMart.
Now, Dunham is obviously a big winner. She's famous at 24 or whatever. She's in media, and creative not boring news or producing. She's a WRITER!! She has her own show on HBO, which is absolutely the most prestigious story telling venue in the world right now. She's rich as a consequence, of course, which means she can afford to live in style in NYC, which is not easy to do. She goes to all the very coolest parties and is lauded by all the very coolest people. By what the top of society values in 2013—money, status, creativity, prestige—she wins big.
Ironically, or maybe it's not so ironic, she has done so by writing about the losers among the winners. That is, all the kids who do the only thing, that which must be done, and move to NYC and then don't make it. They get stupid degrees from silly schools which teach them nothing, all the while inflating their egos and expectations, and then either move to NY and take silly jobs in PR or various forms of paper pushing, which turn out to be every bit as pointless and un-remunerative as they look, or else they try their hand in "creative"—writing, film, TV, music, the arts—and fail.
Then what? Well, at least I am in New York, unlike Susie the loser who is still in Des Moines. Granted, she has a husband, a house and two kids but that is, like, so soul-killing … sharing a crappy $5k/month loft in Williamsburg (Bushwick if we're to be honest) with four other girls as I fritter away my 20s accomplishing nothing, building no assets, hopping from one random hook-up to another … at least it's New York and I'm TRYING!! To become myself, to say what I have to say (to a world that doesn't care, because what I have to say is vapid, but whatever …)
Girls is about the losers among the winners. All the kids that NY drags down into its pipes like the great national drain that it is and who get clogged in the trap and never come out. The angst they feel is real. But the solution—the genuine solution—is one they can't countenance. And it is this.
Most of you can't make it here. You will not get a show on HBO. Your band will die after six months of no bookings at the worst Alphabet City dives. Your book (assuming you finish it) will not be published. And if it is, it will be by a boutique press with no resources. Your advance will total less than one day's wages as a barista.
You would have been much happier staying home and pursuing a conventional life. Get married. Have babies. Be with your extended families. Stay close to your old friends who pursue the same path.
But that is a solution that Dunham literally can't conceive. Because it all worked out for her. She knows the angst of the failures because she felt it before she hit big. She can write about that believably. But the alternative has simply never occurred to her. In her world view, it's better to vapid-failure Hannah in New York than happy, busy, beloved Susie in Des Moines.
October 9th, 2013 | 7:06 pm
Lewis, you other idiot, I watched three episodes, for free, on a plane, once. I read the NY Mag cover piece, something in Vanity Fair, and one or two other articles.
I do not concede that it was all waste of time because I think there is value in achieving at least a limited familiarity with the zeitgeist. Further investment in Dunham herself would be pointless. Talking about What It All Means with Lawler and Scott, however, is profitable.
October 9th, 2013 | 7:27 pm
Escoffier, never mind Lewis. He's still resentful because I embarassed him in a previous thread when he claimed humans were born tabula rasa.
Lewis if you're out there. I'm still enjoying that one. Luv ya too.

The Palo Alto National 11-12 Little League all-star baseball team is two wins away from
defending its District 52 championship.
On Sunday, Palo Alto National reached the championship round after playing perfect baseball.
Nick Wells twirled a perfect game and his teammates banged out nine hits and played sparkling defense in blanking San Carlos, 11-0, in a mercy-rule win in the consolation bracket
championship game at Marina Field in Belmont.
Palo Alto National will battle unbeaten Hillsborough on Monday at 5:30 p.m. in the
championship game and needs to beat Hillsborough twice to defend its crown. If necessary, a
challenge championship game will be Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
Hillsborough handed Palo Alto its lone loss of the tournament, a 9-3 decision 10 days ago.
Dating to last season, Palo Alto National has won 13 straight elimination games. Palo Alto won last year's tourney by rattling off eight wins in a row while facing elimination.
Wells was scheduled to throw just 45 pitches in the game, but needed just 38 in setting down 12 San Carlos hitters en route to his perfect game over four innings.
Hard-hitting San Carlos beat Belmont two weeks ago by belting eight homers, seven in one inning.
Palo Alto jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two innings with the help of a two-run single from
Austin Poore and a two-run homer from Alec Wong. Palo Alto polished off San Carlos with seven runs in the fourth inning, the big blast was a grand slam by Peter Verheecke, which ended the game.
On Saturday, Palo Alto National survived another elimination game after disposing of rival Palo Alto American, 9-2.
After two scoreless innings with neither team garnering a hit, Palo Alto National exploded for five runs in the top of the third inning. The big blow was a three-run homer by Owen Lewis. in Poore and Jack Witte added an RBI single and RBI walk, respectively, in the inning for Palo Alto National.
After Palo Alto American's Issac Feldstein produced a run-scoring single in the third inning to cut the lead to 5-1, Palo Alto National put the game on ice with three runs, all courtesy of a three-run homer off the bat of David Oyer. Gilbert Simonetti blasted a solo homer for Palo Alto American in the sixth inning. Witte earned the win by yielding no runs and no hits in two innings worked.

Dynamic changes in area 1 somatosensory cortex during transient sensory deprivation: a preliminary study.
Department of Neurosurgery, University of Occupational and Environmental Health, Kitakyushu, Japan.
Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology (Impact Factor: 1.45). 07/2002; 19(3):219-31. DOI:10.1097/00004691-200206000-00005 Source: PubMed

ABSTRACT: Motor and sensory cortical tongue representations were examined in 40 patients with intractable seizures who underwent chronic subdural electrode grid implantation. Tongue responses were observed in a wide area 4.5 cm anterior and 3 cm posterior to the central sulcus. The distribution of the responses was not influenced by whether the responses were unilateral or bilateral. In patients with fronto-parietal lesions, the tongue motor area was located significantly more superior to the Sylvian fissure and more anterior to the central sulcus than was the tongue motor area of patients without organic lesion. Both motor and sensory responses were found outside of the classic precentral or postcentral area on the lateral surface of the cortex. Motor responses ('parietal motor responses') could occur posterior to the central sulcus and, rarely, sensory responses ('frontal sensory responses') were identified anterior to the central sulcus. These paradoxical parietal motor and frontal sensory responses were seen in 17 out of 40 (42.5%) patients. Nine of these 17 patients had no organic brain lesion on MRI. Clinical factors, such as patient's age, duration of seizures and cognitive functions (IQ, word fluency score), did not influence the frequency of the paradoxical responses. However, patients with brain lesions showed a tendency to have associated paradoxical responses (P < 0.05). In conclusion, paradoxical responses are not uncommon in epilepsy patients, particularly in those with organic lesions. The physiological and clinical implications of the paradoxical responses are discussed.Brain 02/1994; 117 ( Pt 1):117-32. · 9.92 Impact Factor -
Article: Overlapping representation of fingers in the somatosensory cortex (area 2) of the conscious monkey.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Finger representation on the first somatosensory cortex was mapped in conscious monkeys by single-unit recording. While representation was somatotopic in area 3, this was not the case in area 2, where the representation of different fingers overlapped. Our results indicate that area 2 is not a pure replica of the receptor sheet of the body surface.Brain Research 10/1980; 197(2):516-20. · 2.88 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Brief air-puff stimuli were applied to the volar surface of the right hand to obtain both psychophysical and neurophysiological responses. The detection threshold (So) was first determined (0.56 kg . cm-2 +/- 0.20 kg . cm-2, mean +/- SD) and six levels of the stimulus intensities (So + 0.25 kg . cm-2, So + 1.25 kg . cm-2, So + 2.50 kg . cm-2, So + 3.75 kg . cm-2, So + 5.00 kg . cm-2, and So + 6.25 kg . cm-2) were employed for magnitude estimation using the stimulus level of So + 2.50 kg . cm-2 as the standard stimulus. The subject was asked to estimate numerically the series of stimulus intensities randomly presented. Cortical SEPs were recorded over the hand sensory area in response to a set of 120 air-puffs at the identical intensity level. Thus SEPs for six sets of stimulus intensities given in a random order were obtained from each subject. Six components (N20, P27, N35, P45, N60, and P75) were recorded within 100 ms following stimulation. It was seen that a simple power function with an exponent of 0.81 could be an adequate description of the stimulus-response function for magnitude estimation, as was also revealed by the high correlation coefficient (r = 0.98). Similarly, stimulus-amplitude functions of different SEP components were well represented by straight lines in double logarithmic plots. The function of the early P27-N35 had the highest exponent (0.56) and also the highest correlation coefficient (r = 0.91). Plotting subjective magnitude of the abscissa produced power functions similar to the stimulus-amplitude functions. However, higher correlations were observed for later components. The amplitudes of the four earlier components correlated with stimulus intensity when the effect of subjective magnitudes was removed. In contrast, the correlation between amplitudes and subjective magnitudes with stimulus intensity held constant was positive and significant for the later three components. These results may indicate that early SEP components represent neural coding of physical intensity while later components are more closely related to the subjective judgment of the stimulus.Experimental Brain Research 02/1988; 73(3):459-69. · 2.22 Impact Factor
