THE MAROON LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA, MARCH 2, 1934 Number 19 Volume XII INTER-COLLEGIATE DEBATES START CAMPUS ACTIVE AS C.W.A. WORKERS REPORT FOR JOBS; START REPAIRS Studentb Catalogue Books In Bobet Library, Work In Book Store President Roosevelt's recovery program took definite form on the campus this week as students rep; istered for part-time jobs under ths CWA reported to Rev. Ronald A. Mac Donald, S. J., in charge of Ih? student jobs at Loyola, and were assigned to work in various departments of the university. A large number of those who ap plied for clerical jobs were put to work in Bobet library, rearranging and cataloguin gthe books. Others received positions in the student library and the book store. Those who registered for manual jobs were kept busy painting and remodeling the former book store, and repairing the damage done In the music school by the recent fire. At the end of each day, all student workers are required to sign a slip statin gtheir name and the number of hours they have worked. The necssary funds needed 10 meet the payroll will be transferred each month to the president of the university by the State Relief Administration under the direction of Harry J. Early. The maximum amount of work allocated to each student is thirty hours a week at thirty cents an hour. CHEMISTS ENTERTAIN Thursday night was visitor's night at the Chemistry club regular meeting hold In Bobet hall. The feature of the meeting was a series of intricate experiments which met with the thorough approval of the audience. Lloyd Salathe presided. "School Daze" Given By Jesuit Alumni Fourteen Loyola students participated in the Jesuit Alumni production, "School Daze", a brainstorm in one-act written by Georso Leppert and Bentley Byrnes. In the play, the members ot th'i class under the professorship cf W. J. Leppert, George Leppert's father, included Milton McGovern, Samuel McNeely. Charles Bailey, George Joint, Lucien Delery, James Nix, Jr., and William Roy. These boys brought on storms of laughter with their witty introductions of the special characters, and their peculiar antics in the classroom, a duplicate of the rooms at Jesuit high. In the list of special characters we find John D. Schilleci, who took the role of Nero and almost brought the roof down with his fine impersonation of that famous Roman character. George Leppert as the crystal gazer who prohesied everything in verse, received rounds of applause for his priase of "Doc" Erskine and others. Emmet Toppino came on the stage dressed a* a race horse, and Matt Ballatin was the executioner of Anno Boleyn. In the re-presentation of Little Nell, George Joint was Little Nell's father, and Paul Barker played the part of the big bad villain who "did wrong by Little Nell". Tom Brahney literally walked away with the show when he gave his dual characterization of Henry the Eighth and Little Lord Fauntleroy. "Red" was innimitable in his short black velvet pants, silk blouse, big tie, straw hat, sox, and peppermint stick. All these participants graduated from Jesuit high within the last seven years. Ooh That Kiss! Here s How You Can Get a BSO Degree It may be, fellows, that in a few years you will be receiving a E'. S. O. degree instead of a B. S. Ch. If you're smart and know how to make use of your spare time, you won't have to go to college to get it. Just make use of those Lenten Sunday sofa sessions (parlor dates). We quote this article from the New York World, wherein it is said that osculation is a Bcience. The B. S. O. is a Bachelor of Science in Osculation. "Do I agree with Alfred Fowler, B. A., that there are only eight kinds of kisses, but if you will ask come to years of discretion I had counted' more than eight, although I didn't differentiate them then. I never divided my kisses and tagged them unless the girl's mouth was too large to be taken in as a whole. "Only eight varieties of kisses! Evidently Mr. Fowler does not come from the Fatherland, where osculation is a science and not a satire—or a curiosity. Our German friends could give pointers to this bachelor of arts, for they have a great variety of kisses, thirty appearing in their dictionary. That there may be no gap in the language, the German philogists have earned the everlasting gratitude of lovers by coining the word "nachkussen", which means making up for the kisses which have been missed. Not being proficient in German, I dare not attempt to translate the other twenty-nine kind sof kisses, but if you will ; sk any German lass to teach you ho-".' to graft tulips—the whole thirty varietievarietie—you won't need any dictionary. Definitions have no significance until you learned to spell, and when it comes to osculation most men don't even know A. B. C.'s. If there is a girl handy a man need never go to a dictionary to learn what a kiss is. "The Biblical list of kisses is: approbation, adoration, salutation, valediction, reconciliation, subjection, tfeachery, and affection. "There is the kiss of discovery, when a woman smacks a man's mouth to learn whether he has been drinking. In the Beggar's Opera one of the characters says: 'One may know by your kiss that the gin is excellent.' "The election kiss has played well its part. It is most frequently bestowed by candidates upon babies."There are r.ng kisses, forftit kisses, mistletoe and husking bee kisses—where red ears are as much in demand as red lips; all of which might be grouped under the term 'privileged'. "There's the formal kiss of fash ion, limited to women; the curious kiss of custom which varies in different lands; the Blarney variety, which as a figure of speech isn't so cold and hard as the stone from which it takes its name; the kiss a la Hobson, as a reward of genius or valor; the kiss of respect; the dancing kiss, which is one of the most popular figures with the country devotees of terpsichore; and the platonic kiss, which is very different from, but often leads up to, the kiss passionate." Glee Club To Sing At Student Masses The Loyola Glee club was organized at a meeting held Tuesday noon in Marquette auditorium. It was also decided that the Glee club would remain intact and in the future would sing the hymns it the regular university mass every Friday morning. Regular meetings will be held Thursdays at noon in the choir loft of the university church, and part of the meeting time will be used to re'nearse hymns. It was suggested at the meeting that the University Choral club, of which the Glee club is an integral part, meet on Wednesday night« at 9 o'clock in Conservatory haU. Plans concerning the Choral society remain tentative, pending the consideration of Dr. E. E. Schuyten, director. NEW FRENCH PLAY Plans for the presentation of their next play will be taken up by the members of the French club at their meeting to be held this evening at four o'clock in MarquetUhall.The name of the play chosen will be announced in the very near future, Captain Hensley B. Lacy, director of the club, said. Debate Question Of President's Power The Edward Douglas White Debate society met the Chief Justice O'Niel society last night in a dedate at nine o'clock in Marquette hall. The second team of each society debated the question: Besolved: That the powers of the President of the United States should be substantially increased as a setted policy. Lawrence Babst, George Leppert, and Robert Pascal, representing the Edward Douglas White society, defended the negative side of the question. Prieur Leary, Francis Durell, and Charies Thomas upheld : the affirmative for the Chief Jus-; tice O'Niel society. The results of this debate will j be announced in the next issue. BLUE KEY MEET There will be a very important meeting of the Blue Key, national honor activity fraternity, tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock sharp in the student publication office in Marquette hall. All members are urged to attend. Public Defense Of Epistemology By Philosophers Sophomore Students To Dispute Certitude Course Next Friday The first year philosophy class i« arranging a presentation of Epistemology in the form of a public de fense to be held in Marquette auditorium on Friday, March 9, at 11 a. m. Earl F. Wegmann has been named as defender, and Stephen B. Rodi, Harold J. Deßlanc, and Richard L. Voelker as the three objectors. All are sophomore arts and science students. Rev. Martin P Burke, S. J., head of the department of pihlosophy, will be chairman.When making this announcement, the dean said: "For a long time it has been my desire to se? a presentation of this sort at Loyola. * Many other Jesuit universities, in keeping with the best traditions of Jesuit colleges, have been holding similar public disputation?. The course in philosophy at Loyola Is one of the characteristics of the curriculum offered by the university, and it is fitting that we should have, occasionally at least, such a defense." The defense will be held during the time scheduled for the regular public speaking classes, and all students who wish may attend. The general public is invited. WWL QUARTER HOUR W. K. Hamilton, senior in the college of arts and sciences, conducted the student quarter hour over WWL, the university radio station, last night. Earl Schmidt, member of the Maroon sport staff, gave a brief review of sport activities during the week. Fourth Hausmann Cup Event Sunday Morning The fourth event of the Hausmann Trophy contest, the Froslv Sop'n basketball game, will be held in the gymnasium just before the regular Track handicaps Sunday morning, Charles Bailey, president of the student council, has announced.The race for the trophy is still i» nip and tuck affair, for the freshmen, although leading by a count of two to one, are expected to havo a hard tussle against the Sopli3 Sunday. Officials for the game will be chosen from the regular varsity squad, whose members ars ineligible for competition in this game. BAND CONCERT SOON The university band will give a concert of classical music Saturday, March 10, in the Holy Name school auditorium on Calhoun street, according to an announcement made by Professor Cupero, director. "The boys have been working hard," said Professor Cupero, "and they have almost completely mastered the various selections." There will be no admission charges to the band concert. Italian Society Forms By-Laws The Circolo Universitario Italiano, recently formed Italian society, began the construction of their constitution and by-laws Wednesday night in a meeting held in Marquette hall. Plans are under way to secure membership pins for the society, and to draw up an official list of the charter members, John D. Schilleci, president of the society, announces.A date for regular monthly meetings will be set. These meetings will be featured by a series of lectures to be given by Dr. Gaspar Lugano, U.D. graduate of the Law School of the U. of Pavia. MONEY SYSTEM NEED STRESSED B Y DEAN EDITOR'S NOTE: This is tha first of a series of four articles by the dean of the department of commerce and finance explaining our national monetary system. Modern Dependence Ours is an economic society like that. With the compensation that we get from our productive services we are able to command the productive services of a host of other people, which services usually come to us embodied in consumers' goods. It is mighty few things that we furnish for our selves. By far most of the economic goods that we consume in (lie course of a day come to us as ft result of the functioning of an economic system where goods are continually being produced and passed from hand to hand. It is here that the process of exchange comes in for consideration With goods being produce'l by a division of labor exchange of goods among speciadists is necessary. Through exchange individuals trade their services for the services of others, whether these services be direct 01 embodied in goods. The procedure of offering services is called selling; while that of receiving services is called buying. It is obvious that we are all buyers and sellers simultaneously. Barter Inadequate In a simple economic system thi3 buying and selling procedure is ef fected directly. Goods are exchanged directly for goods. Such direct exchange is called barter. By its nature the practice of bartering is restricted to circumstances where economic relations are simple and direct. This Is true, since barter is feasible only when markets are small, when buyers and sellers meet face to face, when the incidence of exchanges is achieved, and when the limited number of commodities permits a knowledge NECESSITY OF A MONEY SYSTEM By John V. Connor, Ph. D. In a primitive household economy trade and exchange are unknown, since each family is at once its own producer and its own consumer. Here, people live an isolated economic existence. But with the emergence of a division of labor among individuals the system of economic isolation breaks down and in its stead economic interdependence becomes the or der of the day. Individuals become economically dependent in the same degree to which the division of labor makes economic specialists out of them. Thus when people devote their talents and energies trD the performance of one particular kind of work they are rendered 4 v pendent on others in the sense that they must get most of the things they want from others. This idea of mutual economic dependence is descriptive of modern economic society. Biology Club Votes On Its Constitution Vot'ng on the preamble, constitution, and by-laws of the society, the O. L. Potbier society met Wednesday night in Bobet hall. The meeting was characterized by several discussions. New members were admitted and it was decided that the regular meetings in the future would be held on the first and third Mondays of each month. Prominent specialists in the fields of medicine and biology will be asked to address the members at each meeting on special phases of study, it was announced by Gibbs D. Mitchell, recently elected president.

good tent
By RangerBo
from Joliet, Mt
About Me Avid Adventurer
It's a great tent but the poles seemed to be too small and weak for the distance and forces it had to resist. I DID NOT test it in the wind. I ended up sending it back to get a tent that I would have complete confidence in. I recently snapped a different tent's pole in the wind and just didn't want to take chances.It does have lots of room, a good design, waterproofs well under a sprinkler in the front yard, and does have six guy points that might help it against the wind.If you're not going to be facing gale-force winds then I would highly recommend this tent
Great Tent!!
By A Customer
from Boyds, MD
My favorite tent so far - great lightweight and very very easy assembly.After the first time, setup is quickest I've ever seen. Literally, as you pull the poles (all connected) out of the pole bag and raise them into the air, they magically snap themselves together in about 2-3 seconds... I've never seen anything like it. Then you insert each pole end into a unique plastic "socket," - just push them right in. Finally, you slip the (very easy) "s hooks" over the poles and assembly is complete minus the rain fly.Rain fly can be set up to reach almost all the way to the ground if you want to eliminate wind or any possibility of getting wet.Remember to purchase the footprint (very light as well) with this tent. LOVE THIS TENT!
Purchased September 2010
By Matt
from Enola, Pa
My wife and I purchased this tent (along with a Kelty Lakota 4000 pack) for a AT trip planned over the Labor Day weekend in 2010. [...] As soon as I opened the package I began setting it up in my living room which took (maybe) 10 minutes. It's constructed well and has a great floor plan! I did lots of research through YouTube before deciding on this item. If your looking for the best and least expensive tent for 2 adult backpakers, this should be in your top 3 picks. My wife packed the poles and I packed the tent and fly. My only negative comment is the floor material is super thin but thats what you get for a light tent. I would recommend a tent repair kit and a 8'x10' tarp for using underneath the tent floor.
Great tent, great value
By outdoorjunkies
from Battle Ground, WA
We recently used this tent for the first time on a multi-night backpack in the NW for 2 adults + golden retriever. Worked very well. I would say it's not ultra-light, but light for what you get in terms of square footage and features. Like my other Kelty tent, I found this tent go be well designed and thought out and easy to set up--also features like the gear loft are nice extras that are actually useful. Kelty consistently designs products that are a good value with high quality. I don't know why anyone would spend twice as much or more for a different brand.

Columbus police have fired their guns at people more times this year than police in some cities of similar size.The city has seen 14 such shootings — the most per capita of seven cities examined by The Dispatch.
Five shootings in Columbus were fatal. Last year, Columbus was a close third among the group of seven, with 20 shootings that killed eight people.
Cincinnati had the most officer-involved shootings per capita last year, with 11 fatal shootings in a city of nearly 300,000 people. Memphis police shot at 17 people, killing four, in 2011.
After three deadly shootings here in four days — the latest of which left a burglary victim dead — some people have questioned Columbus police officers' use of deadly force.
Chief Kimberley Jacobs said this week that her officers are under fire, often without provocation. She cited a case in May when someone shot at detectives who were sitting in their cruiser. They did not return gunfire, because a crowd of people had gathered nearby.
"Every day, somebody is out there ready to confront us with a gun, with a knife, ready to attack us," she said. Despite the number of shootings this year, rates of deadly force are still low. In Columbus last year, there were 2.5 shootings per 100,000 residents.
Sgt. Jim Gilbert, president of Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge No. 9, said it's unfair to compare Columbus shootings with those in other cities.
"Individuals in Columbus are more brazen in confronting the police while in possession of a weapon," he said.
Gilbert said he is worried that increased scrutiny could make officers second-guess themselves when faced with danger."I don't want to see any officers delaying in their response to a suspect's actions, especially a suspect armed with a weapon, because they're worried about being the next statistic," he said. "We're worried about saving lives. We're not worried about statistics."
Last year was one of the deadliest for officers nationwide, and for the first time in more than a decade, officers were more likely to be killed by gunfire than in a car crash. Of 163 fatalities, 70 were firearm-related, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
This year is on track to be less deadly for officers. There have been 59 officers killed, 20 of whom were shot.
David Klinger, a former officer turned criminology and criminal-justice professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, said officer-involved shootings often come in inexplicable bunches, prompting questions from residents and the news media."When you have a cluster of circumstances where officers had legal warrant to shoot and they do, then so be it," he said. "That's what officers are trained to do and what we expect them to do so they can go home at night."
But that doesn't mean residents shouldn't ask whether a shooting was a legitimate exercise of deadly force, Klinger said.
In four of the five deadly cases so far this year in Columbus, officers were stabbed, had guns pointed at them or a vehicle driven at them. The fifth case, the shooting death of 21-year-old Destin Thomas outside his Far East Side apartment on Tuesday, is less clear. Thom-as called 911 to report a burglary, and the officer who responded shot him. A gun was found near his body, but police have not said whether he was pointing it at the officer or even holding it when he was shot.
After a shooting, police departments need to be as transparent as possible with residents — about what prompted the officer to fire, the investigatory process and what will happen next, said John Firman, research director for the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
"What was used, why was it used and was it an appropriate use of force?" Firman said. "Help me understand what happened so I can be fair as I evaluate it."
Thomas' case, and the others this year, will be reviewed to determine whether Police Division policy was followed and also will be sent to a grand jury for review. That process can take months.
Police shootings in Columbus are almost always found to be justified. According to the U.S. Supreme Court, police actions should be judged against how a reasonable officer would act under the same circumstances, rather than with the benefit of hindsight.
From 2004 to 2010, all Columbus officers who shot and killed someone were found to have acted appropriately, according to internal and grand-jury reviews.

impressed by SJS's acting in Cain & Abel so now i watch his old series I'm sorry I luv You.
hi dear friends,
I watched again Meteor Garden I, just for comparison sake and refreshed my mind of the story again.
a) Advertisements/Spamming - Advertising of pirated or copied VCDs, DVDs, and other related medias are not allowed.
Shining Inheritance and Queen Seon Duk
- currently watching: Fashion King, Rooftop Prince, Love Rain, and Equator Man-
- recent favorite drama: The Princess's Man-
I am currently watching Cinderlla Man,Hateful Once Again,A Man's Story/The Slingshot, and The Man Who Can't Get Married.
Hands down the best of all three is The Man Who Can't Get Married, which is a remake of the Japanese classic Kekkon Dekinai Otoko. The only real difference is that the Korean version is ,by my rough estimate, 900 times better then Kekkon Dekinai Otoko.
This series is a definate must watch for everyone, unlike 97% of the Kdramas out their this is:
A: not a Cinderella tale
B: not some sappy story for Korean housewives
C: Not heart wrenchingly, tear jerkingly, tragic
And D: Not a drama which will have you skipping ahead by bits and pieces cause of the snail pace progress or sheer boringness of the series.
So all in all I must say this is a drama none should miss!
You must definately watch Jumong! After you realise the deep love you have for Jumong you can start watching Ballad of SeoDongYeo, Legend of the First Kings Four Gods, and Kingdom of the Winds!

Currently watching You're Beautiful. It's pretty funny and addicting so far. Can't wait to watch more.
I'm watching "you're beautiful" too. It's really is the best series of 09 for me. Most of the series this year is so disappointing. I hardly like any of them. Thank god "YB" saves this year. It needs better ratings. I'm not even gonna watch IRIS, not my genre.I dont really any actors in IRIS except Jung Ho but he will not get the girl anyways so whatever.
Same here, YB is one of the better series for me this year too. The last drama I was hooked to was Boys Over Flowers and since then I haven't found anything interesting. I agree that YB needs better ratings, it's such a shame. I haven't given IRIS a try yet, I'm not really interested in the genre either and not a fan of anyone in the cast. But I guess the cast for IRIS is more well known.
I just finished City Hall, starring Kim Sun Ah, and I loved it! I absolutely love Mi Rae and Jo Guk! They have such wonderful chemistry together!!!! I love to rewatch the parts with the 2 of them! It's absolutely a MUST WATCH
Now currently in the middle of watching You're Beautiful starring Jang Geun Suk and Park Shin Hye... it's also very good! Also another must watch!
I'm currently watching "Will it Snow on Christmas." It's okay so far. Kind of weird and cliche but for some reason I'm addicted to it. Some parts are amusing too even though it's a melodrama, lol.
Currently watching Invincible Lee Pyung Kang and Don't Hesitate. To bad there seems to be problems with videos not loading at viikii.
Anyone has any idea what is the significance of winning a PD award in awards shows from SBS. KBS and MBC? Is it some sort of a consolation prize?

architectural dialogue
Ruminations on architecture, from Ken Allinson
Tag Archives: Hans Georg Gadamer
Intermède dans la Cathédrale
March 12, 2012
Posted by on Meetings With Buildings is a work punctuated by subjective pieces that say something the main body of text cannot. They are attempts to bring a philosophical text out onto the pavement and everyday experience. This example – Intermède dans la Cathédrale – is not only typical, but sums up some recurrent concerns, particularly with regard to the architectural experience.
The idea that exceptional architecture is something 'going on' seems true to me. The work is, as it were, 'in play.' If it has an aura of 'charge' it is because one knowingly participates in this 'play' with body as well as mind, feelings as well as reason. The work is, as Gadamer argues, a structure in active presentation and what one experiences is to be differentiated from any traditional notion of aesthetic differentiation. With regard to buildings that structure is its architecture. But strangely – and this is a common experience – the seen or felt presence of the work in these terms is merely glimpsed before it vanishes. Otherwise there is simply that peculiar aura that we simply denominate as 'quality' (which, of course, can disturbing as well as consoling). One must also note that not all architectural works have anything 'in play' that is worth talking about, presenting or experiencing, and the difference between a powerful work and a worthy work of 'well-building' constitutes an intriguing dichotomous construct. From this perspective familiar notions of extraordinary art and architecture are turned upside down, shifting them to a neo-mythic status always dependent upon one's subjectivity as a mode of attunement and reception. The following passage outlines an instance of my own experience of an architecture being found as 'in play', as present in a manner quite at odds with common aesthetic experience (the notion of subjectivity confronted by an alluring formal thingness of a work). It is a minor instance of work and play as part of everyday experience, followed by a dream whose hermeneutic dimensions only made some sense to me after reading Gadamer.
"You cannot see architecture. You can only be in it, as in music." (Erno Goldfinger)
It was a casual remark: "See? There … Over there … I think there's some architecture going on …" It was a way of sensing and referring that we had gotten used to.
She was pointing out the car window toward a small town peculiarly islanded upon a salient plateau set midst the vast, hedgeless rolling fields of latter day French agri-business. And so an impromptu decision was made on an otherwise tedious journey south, cruising empty motorways under cold and grey skies: we'd make a detour.
We swung off in that direction, wound our way up and entered the town through aged ramparts now bereft of anything but touristic purpose, and entered into what turned out to be narrow cobbled streets coping with speeding delivery vans, prowling police cars and the honking, gift-packed vehicles of shoppers. It was merely a few days to Christmas.
In the heart of the town, we found our target: a grand but dour edifice host to the recurrence of yet another festive celebration (how many hundreds was it now? eight hundred?) to which its reason for being was so profoundly and irrevocably bound. We had found Laon Cathedral.
Then we found somewhere to park. But now a chilling wind bearing harsh waves of rain had begun to lash at us and we quickened our pace back toward the Cathedral as a sanctuary from winter's assault. Gratefully stepping over the high threshold of a weathered wooden side door we found ourselves within the south transept, directly opposite the crossing into what little daylight was left soaked gently downward as a more kindly downpour than the seasonal inhospitality outside. There had been no chance to gaze upon the exterior. Now, relieved, our mood changed and, initially with respectful trepidation, we looked about. As ever, it was familiar; but one never knows quite what to expect of such places … or how to deal with them. It's so difficult to 'see' such works. However, it was self-evidently true: something, as she had said, was 'going on.'
With mild but still uninspired interest we made a tourist's promenade: down and around, along aisles, traversing the crossing, occasionally looking up to the clerestorey windows and soaring stone vaults. It was quite a volume. I imagined Geoffrey Scott muttering about massing, contours and lines. Nevertheless, although it was impressive we both admitted to an absence of the tingle factor – a disappointment underscored when we came across a presentation lined up between two of the massive nave piers: story-boards obtruding their explanations, tales of distress and inevitable requests for money. Necessary, one presumed, even informative. But their dissections somehow worked against an appreciation of the thing to which they referred, reducing its substance to a set of clever but now distressed tectonic moves symptomatic of the building's purported historical novelty and status.
We turned attention back to the work and strove to look, listen and feel. But it wasn't easy. Our mood had been literally dampened; we were chilled and suffering keen appetites … or was that an excuse? Somewhat disgruntled, we turned away; all that could wait. We felt a more basic urgency … Coffee and gateaux perhaps?
Then we became aware of a peculiar voice obtruding from somewhere at the west end. A tourist lecturer? We perambulated in that direction – toward where we knew the exit would be. No, it was a large LCD screen, located in the middle of the nave, pressing an insistent pedagogic banter upon an audience notable for its absence. It was time to withdraw, any nascent aura having been fractured. In any case, there had never been long to stay: this was merely the impatient architectural tourist's quick fix on a long journey to somewhere else. Caffeine!
We moved toward the west door but, just before exiting, I turned to silently submit an inner apology to some metaphorical presence constructed within my imagination . . . And then I hesitated, caught in a sudden web of admiration: there at the east end, terminating the choir, was the most enormous rose window. How amazing! What kind of minds would do this? How on earth had I overlooked it? But that wasn't all: in that moment, for an instant, it seemed as if there was an encounter: My God, it was still here, even now … It was present, briefly: this architectural quality that was 'going on' … still, even now …
Self-consciously, even as I became aware of all this, I dismissed it as an absurd sentiment and made to exit through an enormous curtain and the main west door beyond. Nevertheless, that acknowledgement momentarily lingered, like an echo, and I realized – even now: chilled, still damp, still hungry, impatient and definitely ill-tuned – that I had momentarily met with something … A kind of architectural gamesmanship? Whatever. The stuff of the encounter had evaporated in the moment of its acknowledgement. Resignedly, we drew the heavy curtain aside and stepped out through another inset in one of the huge timber doors to find we were now in a compact urban square (the cathedral parvis) and bizarrely confronted by a contrasting Christmas cheer entangled in a robust but losing battle with the elements: stalls, roundabouts, lights, decorations … but only a small gaggle of excited children and their parents, refusing to be daunted by the relentless, haranguing wind and chilled downpour that indicated no sign of merciful abatement. Off to one side a van arrived with a cargo of loudspeakers and a gaggle of vociferous Santa Clauses singing and ringing bells. It was mad: cheerful, naïve and simple, wonderful and bizarre. Perhaps it had been this absurd eight hundred years ago.
And then, as we walked away, I turned and looked up. There: two jagged, stark grey towers soared up and almost touched the low cloud, indomitably setting heavily articulated and punctuated faces against centuries of such assaults. They were actually rather ugly … and aggressive … but what a pile … what an indomitable spirit of enterprise they represented! It was their salience we had noticed from the motorway.
I had to smile, now pleased we had made this impromptu stopover. I was again with that echo, but the whole thing had become self-conscious, inauthentic … Some other, contrary aspect of reality had closed in: that same ill-attunement. It was time to join the retreating, multiple iterations of Santa Claus, leaving the cathedral, its gutters and monstrous spluttering gargoyles witness to their own lonely struggle with what God threw at it. Time for that coffee.
Midst choking cigar smoke and the chatter of a local café we sipped café crème and brandy whilst reflecting upon the forlorn life of a cathedral in a secular age: a reality that was architecturally impressive, yet oddly hollow – void, like some cadaver artificially awakened by incongruous digital prompts whose human minders would pull the plug and announce the building was closing: "could all tourists now take leave and would the last one out please switch off the lights?" For centuries the building had been contemporary in the sense of being relevant and alive. Now, it had become a shell, a curiosity for spectators who appeared to be more comfortable with LCD screens … And yet, something about this building had briefly sparkled, evincing a profound, if momentary, pleasure. I was certain, something had, indeed, been 'going on' …
By now it was late and we decided to book into a local hotel.
That night I experienced a weird dream. I was witness to the occasion of an incongruous pageant – seemingly a re-enactment of the crucifixion. It was all deeply serious, but in a casual way, and no one appeared to be directing what was somehow unfolding of its own accord. Somehow everyone, without orchestration, seemed to know what was to fatefully take place and how it was to end; some of the players even silently wept as they worked, made the props and constructed the scenery – all of which was as devoid of formal accuracy as the tears were empty of trauma. This was simply the way things can be: ordinary and yet miraculous. The props were indicative; that was sufficient. The tears made themselves. And while the scenography was put being in place on this almost ad hoc basis, a man playing the part of the Messiah – complete with crown of thorns and cross – sat nonchalantly to one side and patiently awaited the beginning of the next act: time off for a fag …
These were players as living witnesses to something that had once happened. Its nature was being ritualistically re-presented, but as if variances of time and custom were at once real and yet irrelevant. It was all very ordinary and yet peculiar: play and players resonated with the impassioned nature of who this man was and what had happened to him, but I couldn't escape the enactment's bizarre note of casual improvisation, as if what was passionate was also completely devoid of sentiment. This was no histrionic pastiche.
Now, with recollection and hindsight, I can look back upon it as a characterisation in the sense that Merleau-Ponty referred to living events as other than survivals or some "hypocritical form of forgetfulness", but "a noble form of memory." How could one be in such a state of mind: to be here, now, and yet be re-living a past event?
Then, I awoke abruptly. Outside, the rain still lashed at the hotel window. The dream's fresh resonance still grasped my imagination. There were even tears streaming from my eyes. Why? What was going on? I struggled to understand … and I grabbed at a pen and note-pad even as the dream's reality began to rapidly fade. It had a religious content, and yet it didn't seem to concern religion in any form I recognised. Significance appeared to reside in the fact that the players were, above all, a living empathetic witness to something whose nature and essential meaning was being re-lived. The passage of time had evaporated. Curiously, beauty of form or historical exactitude were also secondary; customary factors neither helped nor hindered – they were merely situated features of the site of enactment. And the resonance embodied within the players' witnessing was a knowing that could only be appreciated as acknowledgement of some Kierkegaardian faith: a kind of encounter, at once of the moment and yet transgressing temporal and spatial constraints. It wasn't in them; they were in it. The players were 'being played,' enacting a knowledge that possessed them: somehow indifferently yet at once passionately … How odd.
And then my thoughts returned to the cathedral and forms of indifferent stonework erected as mute witness to faith in action. Was the shaped particularity of the architecture a similar performative reality? Beautiful? Ugly? Did it matter? On the other hand, to encounter this architecture – to catch its gestural sparkle, at the edge of language – seemed as if to meet with a deeply human content as the presented fullness of the cathedral's reasons for being. It was a devotional work, an end in itself. It was as if the abstract lineaments of the cathedral's coherent order had become curiously 'charged' … that was the 'going on.'
'Charged'? 'Going on?' I was rambling. The momentum of the dream had withdrawn. Attempts at retention had become contrivance. And sleep was gently taking over. With closed eyes I dozily but sceptically ruminated about the cathedral and the prompting of such a dream as I curled up against a still sleeping partner and pulled the duvet in tighter.
It was some time later that I came across Kierkegaard's notion of the 'claim of faith' as a mediation between past and present – a phenomenon engendering an authentic contemporaneity characterising what has its origins in the past. The task for the religious believer is "to bring together two moments that are not concurrent, namely one's own present and the redeeming act of Christ, and yet so totally to mediate them that the latter is experienced and taken seriously as present (and not as something in the distant past)." Hans Gadamer developed this concept of claim with regard to art by suggesting: "A claim is something lasting. […] Because a claim lasts it can be enforced at any time. […] A claim is the legal basis for an unspecified demand. […] It belongs to the permanence of a claim that it is concretised in a demand." The peculiarity of art is that it makes a claim to permanence and has the permanence of a claim. And this claim becomes, at some time, concretised as a demand – a demand constituted as the work 'being present," as experience. In art's presentation "this particular thing that presents itself to us achieves full presence, however remote its origin may be. Such a contemporaneity is not a mode of given-ness in consciousness, but a living task for consciousness and an achievement demanded of it." Only then does a work achieve full presence, without mediation.
Yes, I reflected: that sounds right – then it might truly be 'architecture going on,' when the thing is felt as a structured thinging … Gosh: what a lot of feeling and chatter had been prompted by that interlude in the rain.

Winchester girl embarks on new beauty business
1:00pm Thursday 24th October 2013 in News By Lauren Howard, Reporter
ARMED with a little more than a credit card and a used tin of paint, a woman from Fulflood is embarking on a mission to open her first beauty salon.
Jasmin Vale, 25, from Milverton Road, qualified as a beauty therapist after completing an adult education course at Peter Symonds College last year and has been looking to open Jasmin Beauty ever since.
Miss Vale now operates from a small room in the back of Tom Andrew's hair salon on Parchment Street, which she has decorated herself using paint given to her by her parent Sandra and Jeff.
She has fronted all the start up costs from money earned part time at Warehouse, where she has worked for the last four years.
"The opportunity for something like this to come up in Winchester is slim so it was really random when I found out this place was available," she said. "I knew Tom from school and he said the room was coming up so I took it."
Currently working Tuesdays, Saturdays and Thursday evenings, Miss Vale is also studying for a course at college in Swedish massage, hoping to offer more and more treatments as her business continues.
Miss Vale said: "There's weeks where you don't have anyone but it's only been a month so I can't panic too much. It's been great working inside the salon because some of them are their clients will come in and say, 'Are you free for a quick eyebrow tint'?
"I regret that I didn't do it earlier but it's something I've always wanted to do. We were taught that each treatment is an experience and I like to give that proper experience rather than just have this in-out policy that some places have."

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
It's the most wonderful time of the year right now. Christmas is in two weeks, there hasn't been any big snow storm ( Something new for Ohio) and the economy could be making a come back. It would all be perfect if it wasn't for one thing. The Dark Knight Rises doesn't come out for another seven fucking months! The more I see of TDKR the more I want to make a time machine and go to the future. But I lack the knowledge of cars and a shortage of a Flux Capacitor to do so. With the release of the prologue this Friday and a new trailer surfacing in the next weeks, makes the wait feel so much longer. So can you wait seven months to see the film or can you. Or are you some troll who thinks The Avengers or the new Spiderman film will be better. Because FYI it won't be so don't bother posting.
Post what you think in the comments bellow.
There are no words to describe my frustration with this thread.
Does this help?? ( Might wanna lower your speakers.)
No. But i don't have a choice in this anyway.
No. But i don't have a choice in this anyway.
Answer to your question is...NO I CANT! Very excited about Nolan's final Batman film
Meh, if it comes out it comes out. I am not counting down my calendar for it.
So wait, I'm a troll if I don't think TDKR will be the best movie next summer? At least I'm not a retard who blindly sucks Christoper Nolan's dick. It's a movie, not the second coming of Christ. I can wait a few months.
Honestly, everything I've seen in the trailers just strikes me as OKAY. If we're judging these films solely on trailers and sceenshots, TDKR isn't even in my top three. It'll probably be a good film, but I'm going to reserve my judgment until the film is actually released.

I went on 1/31 in Flagstaff and it was definitely amazing. All of them gave a good show. Not too big on The Contortionist though. And idk if you've ever met Hatebreed or if you plan on it but I had a m & g pass and it was well worth it. They had it to where you could buy it at the venue too for $30. If you have the money, I suggest it.

Idk if it could of been that they didn't sell all the VIP packages before the show but either way they were offering it at my show and it was $30. It comes with a poster to be signed at the meet and greet and you get a Hatebreed bottle opener and you can get a group photo with the band too. Pretty cool for only $30 if you ask me.

General Description:
Visitors were interviewed after watching the Intro to Nano stage program. The formative study assessed how well the five goals of the program were grasped by visitors.
Major Findings:
The stage program of Intro to Nano does well at conveying basic information about the nanoscale and nanotechnology. Many visitors shared some frustration with the format for the program, feeling bored after watching someone talk for some time. The survey did not delve into how much visitors knew about nanotechnology, so specific information about the five goals of the program is lacking.

A season-opening three-game homestand, which includes a meeting with perennial Atlantic Coast Conference contender Virginia Tech and in-state battles at North Carolina and N.C. State highlight East Carolina's 2013 football schedule released Wednesday by Conference USA.
The Pirates will also face four opponents for the first time in C-USA newcomers Florida Atlantic, Florida International and Middle Tennessee, and future C-USA member Old Dominion.
The Pirates will open the 2013 season Aug. 31 at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium against the ODU , who went 11-2 last season and were ranked sixth in the Football Championship Subdivision.
After a one-year hiatus, the Pirates and Hokies will resume their series that was renewed in 2007 and now features annual meetings until 2020. Virginia Tech returns to Greenville on Sept. 14 for the eighth overall time and its third appearance in the last five years.
Following the first of two bye weeks during the season, East Carolina will visit the Tar Heels on Sept. 28.
The Pirates remain on the road the following two weeks with C-USA contests at Middle Tennessee and Tulane before returning home to host Southern Miss on Oct. 19.
ECU wraps up the three-game ACC portion of its slate by visiting N.C. State on Nov. 23. That will extend a 27-game series between the Pirates and Wolfpack that dates back to 1970. Since 2006, the two programs have split the last four games in a home-and-home format.
The Pirates, who begin play as a football member of the Big East Conference in 2014, turned in an 8-5 overall record and a 7-1 C-USA mark in 2013 before earning their sixth bowl appearance in the last seven years that resulted in a 43-34 setback to Louisiana-Lafayette at the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

Adonis Decay
Damnit Danceface Records. I hate it when a label contacts me personally to follow up with a review and says something like "Hey Erik!-I'm glad you are reviewing band xyz-I look forward to reading your review", and then my review goes something like this:
The debut 5 track EP from Virginia based metalcore act Adonis Decay is pretty mediocre, and if not for some decent musicianship, borderline bad. Hindered by a hollow production and the injection of every modern metalcore/tech metal cliché around, including but not limited to clean vocals, harmonic arpeggios, chaotic stuttering, a dash of death metal, dual screams/growls, introspective moments, forced complexity and proggy noodling. The thing is, Between the Buried and Me and a handful of other bands (Veil of Maya, Last Chance to Reason, The Demonstration, The Human Abstract, What's He Building in There?, etc) already did it, and did it way better (well, some of them).
What really hurts Adonis Decay is that the songs come across as randomly strung together segments. For example, second track, "The Red Beyond" and fourth track "Fractured Existence" are about two of the most incoherent and muddled, directionless tracks I've ever heard. There's being adventurous and ambitious, then there's being utterly unstructured. And it's not the Between the Buried and Me kind of off the wall unstructured, it's a tangible lack of cohesion and the collage of ideas by some talented individuals simply thrown together and called songs. It's like the band members simply went off into their own separate corners of the studio, and came together with their recorded output and just threw it all together.
However, there is some potential here as shown in a few brief moments of lucidity of "Harbinger of Pestilence", but even then, they are mired in such a hodge-podge of unfortunately now trendy elements and they get washed away. Also to their credit, the band strays from the 'look how cool and quirky we are' song titles and keep things in almost tech death metal realm.
Still, Adonis Decay are a young band and Danceface are a young label who still have Time of Cholera on their tiny roster, so there is hope.

Are Republicans really done compromising on the fiscal cliff until they see a plan from Pres. Obama and Democrats?

Sen. Ron Johnson
Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
The fiscal clear its theater and nothing more and nothing less it's a game of political action and involves the and it will result in eight winner and eight loser.
Our ultimate goal is an agreement that gets our long term deficits under control the way that is fair.
And balanced.
The president really wants to reach an agreement is to be talking with -- members of his own party right here in Washington.
Trying to broker an agreement not out there far enough crowd and giving speeches so we all know that we've had a spending crisis.
-- announcement Friedrich.
And it has to be dealt.
In order to try to come to different -- and Republicans are willing to.
The president and got the rest of the series.
That they're spending problem.
-- The point is there is no economic growth being discussed in the fiscal cliff argument on this solution that's not.
There is -- world economic growth not possible with what's being proposed.
That just exact opposite Obama doesn't care about economic growth in terms of -- Transfers.
It's obvious does that and -- he's gonna have to stand behind.
Some significant changes in entitlement.
I think what they're asking this where's your plan.
Cassidy an agreement I don't -- Everybody knows what.
Really sorry for my sister.
-- -- -- -- And that work is being done and then everybody needs as the president said.
Agreed in principle with comparable compromise will require tough choices by everywhere east side we have done our -- We have put revenues on the table something that we.
Didn't do two years ago during the high debt ceiling negotiations.
Hi I am ready and able and willing and excited it's.
A go ahead and get this issue -- -- In a bipartisan fashion.
So -- -- American families American businesses have some -- -- -- -- going into next year.
This is not the fiscal -- is not -- long term solutions to many things -- the fiscal cliff is not about solutions period.
Real soon.
Here is political gamesmanship yeah.
Tonight Republicans have a sizzling question for -- Obama what is his plan senator John Cornyn putting that message into a video.
-- -- Johnson is on the Budget Committee judges Canadian cents.
But Greta I don't people -- very well thank you for ask you what you understand to be the president's plan I'm curious the Republicans have -- revenues on the table where do you get those revenues.
-- -- -- number of Republicans certainly.
So they're willing to consider that yes.
They see the other half -- presence promised balanced approach you what where's he going to.
Start restrain the growth in government so that were open to working with anybody who's willing to announce the problem.
But I -- where it wasn't -- blink first -- we get first -- let me tell -- where you should get revenue -- -- growing the economy here you just couple numbers.
Already in this meager.
Economic recovery.
We've increased -- federal government by 344.
Billion dollars if we just returned to a normal economy like we had in 2007 under President Bush.
Where revenue was eighteen point 5% of our economy has had about a fifth year average -- -- other 400 billion dollars.
Per year's total 750 billion dollars a presents for polls right now hi assessment that is about -- five billion dollars attempt to -- economic growth.
Is ten times more effective -- raising revenue problem with punishing success the problem presence proposal he'll put that economic growth.
At risk but I mean I think the best question really is what is the -- plan -- what's your plan.
Feel this is returning certainly how this economy -- plan to wrap up the economy -- plan for spending cuts.
A plan for reducing the deficit deficit which actually would return certainly the economy restore confidence.
Which would help economic growth.
Punishing success will not do that temporary tax increases don't do as well.
You know it's instant it Ellison's at a game of chicken to see who's gonna blink first because I I can't trio at the public Internet analyst what you need and race in understand an instance of the broad principles but I don't have sort of the nuts and bolts that.
And I hear the president say that he's ready willing and excited to have by -- but I don't come -- I don't know what his plan as the other.
In any any guy he doesn't hit his his budgets for -- -- -- polls solutions C mutual security or Medicare his last two budgets have been -- around three times.
Zero to 610 you can get Democrat senators or house members vote for his plan so.
We haven't seen his plan and that's real tragedy the president does I think it's incumbent on him he won.
It's time from the government it's time for him to show the American people his balance -- talk about it all the time we know -- wants to increase revenue.
But last year's budget yes it was a 1090 billion dollars large.
You raise revenue -- Sony five billion dollars about 7% of that where's he gonna get the other -- 83%.
-- -- a reduction in and really what is his plan for restoring growth economy we've had miserable economic growth under his policies.
Server running out of time and I'm very hard both sides the Alice because we've done about this problem since last July or August of last year 2011 not a not six months and nobody did.
A lot of credit Republicans have passed too but -- house -- they have.
I bipartisan plan to save Medicare we've passed country I don't receive voted for things the American people know where we stand it's time for the president put forward his plan.
I understand that and I'm harsher on him for not having a plan at all but part of leadership of both sides the app is you know the other side is a problem.
And I realize that he hasn't put his budget I know senator Harry Reid for whatever reason pocket vetoes everything you -- to -- on the floor I got that but one of the promises that you still as a leader to figure out a way to solve this problem to get to get him to get a plan.
To figure out to work out a solution it's not enough I did my work and I want good.
But he is the president he needs a -- he -- I have an underdog and look at you know I've been in business in -- -- negotiator somebody good faith I know what that feels like this president he's just moving the whole course.
We know now they're saying you got increase and increase the debt ceiling on top of this he's talking about a second round of of tax.
Reform it's gonna -- again increase taxes make you want to pay a little bit more I mean if he keeps moving the goalposts and now the Democrats saying entitlement reform is off the tour.
Senator Reid says said that the deficit has been part of it any I think is a little late to be talking -- -- a -- -- will probably I'll hit it probably the end of December and don't go really have an impact as a federal and people are hoping to get their tax refunds and -- -- -- nobody but I'm curious in your view would -- is there any way that you would vote to raise debt ceiling.
Know -- there.
Look let's listen what are what I would do is a Mike I'm not gonna block and what we need to do.
As we need to restore confidence we need to remove the uncertainty in this economy so.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- What wanted to be put a lot of what I would do personally -- okay.
Hey Democrats what what we did last time was -- cut we passed cut cap and balance which did increase the debt ceiling but have the solutions the problem.
In you don't let it balanced budget amendment a cap back staff surely would limit the size of government and actually cuts and spending -- -- valid because a recent that was a good plan and that also -- guessing we should do the same thing this time but.
Democrats won't go along to americanize SO what I recommending is we don't block them who say okay you guys can increase guessing but no more than a trillion dollars.
And no more revenue -- what is your plan for reducing the deficit if you can increase the debt ceiling -- we're gonna.
-- -- -- -- And that just don't have the discussion when we have been to some extent to -- the same discussion.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And Greta we should.
If we're gonna continue to incur debt and piled up on the best for children grandchildren there should be a plan attached to that for limiting the growth of government because we really do the spending -- problem in this country.
Again broke pres Obama said he's gonna raise taxes by -- five billion dollars.
The the deficit is a 1090.
Billion dollars large where's the rest of his plan he has to show us is planned.
I just came for a meeting with a bunch of house members what they'd like to do is extend.
All current tax rates permanently that brings certain economy.
Get a substitute bill for the sequestration.
Take that off the table and then work with -- Obama in a bipartisan in a bit of good faith effort.
To get pro growth tax reform that would actually work and then of course -- got the Ryan budget.
The spends seven trillion dollars less than the president's budget.
That would -- -- -- sort of control restore the confidence -- this economy needs senate can I see you thank you.

The increased focus on student assessment results has led to an understanding that teachers must be assessment literate in order to provide the best instructional opportunities to students. According to W. James Popham, who provides the video introductions to these modules: "Just about everyone realizes that if a teacher does a great instructional job, that teacher's students will usually perform better on tests. It's the other side of the equation that's less often understood, namely that how a teacher tests — the way a teacher designs tests and applies test data — can profoundly affect how well that teacher teaches." From Test Better, Teach Better W. James Popham Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, 2003 The KSDE Assessment Literacy Project includes 21 different modules designed to enhance the assessment literacy of educators in an online, interactive format that can be used individually or in groups. Module topics are arranged around four essential questions:

Crime has become a serious issue in the future, some claim it's due to an illness some say an uprising, everyone knows where you go however.
the year is 2116, a man made island that extends approximately 30 miles in every direction from the center of the island houses criminals from all over the world. anything considered a serious offence or a felony will land you on Mors Island.
Mors Island is a ruthless, unobserved island not used for rehabilitation but to show what people will do when given the ability to commit further crime if they truly meant it, or not. Several large to small, empty towns dot the landscape filled with a random assortment of food and other goods needed for survival which are mysteriously resupplied at the end of each month, an expansive forrest in the south eastern part of the island and, mountains to the north and a great varied landscape inbetween, plains, a small barren desert landscape, and much more.
Prisoners are drugged and put somewhere on the that is void of life with a small backpack of supplies on their back.
All prisoners are given:
1 Compass
4 1-liter bottles of water
5 M.R.E's (Meal ready to Eat) random variety
1 Match tin with 25 matches
Depending on their crime prisoners are brought onto the island with certain stipulations
Murderers and thoes chragerd with battery or assualt are brought on to the island with their hands bound but are unknowingly given a knife in their pack.
Rapist and other sexual offenders are brought to the island naked save for the backpack.
Arsonists don't recieve matches in their pack but are given a gallon of gasoline.
Robbers and Burgalars or Grand theft are only given 1 liter of water and one M.R.E but have a small container that is locked with the rest of their supplies, but they are also given a photograph of another prisoner who holds the key to their safe.
Kidnappers and child killers and other child related crimes are given the normal supplies but have a key in their backpack.
Prisoners are not given a second chance, they will live and die on this island no matter how long or short that may be.
few band together, even fewer survive together, None escape.
Just seeing if anyone would be particulalry interested in this, you would be taking the role of a new prisoner, if you'd like to be a prisoner who's already on the island please PM me first but I'll get an OOC up so if people are interested we can get it running.
Added OOC. Also multiple crimes.
Also for thoes curious of thoes who have done more than one crime, everything applies for the crimes done, for instance Murder, theft would have your hands bound and you'd only have one bottle of water and one M.R.E and a picture of the person who has your key. The rest would be locked away a long with your knife, and anyone who's commited two or more crimes automatically has a key on them, but not for their own box.
