Roy Moore Asks Why His Accusers Waited 40 Years To Allege Sexual Misconduct, Promises 'Revelations' About Them
Andrew Husband
News & Culture Writer
Despite losing the support of the U.S. Senate GOP's campaign arm and the endorsement of Republican lawmakers from across the country, Alabama's Roy Moore is attempting to press beyond the recent accusations of sexual misconduct with a minor. The controversial ex-state judge maintains "these allegations are completely false and misleading," and some of his supporters have even gone so far as to attack the women who've accused him. During a Veterans Day event at the Mid-Alabama Republican Club in Birmingham on Saturday, Moore did the same while denying the allegations yet again.
"To think that grown women would wait 40 years to, right before an election, bring charges is absolutely unbelievable. Why now?" he said to cheers from the audience. "My opponent is 11 points behind. That came out just days before this article came out. They're desperate. This article is a prime example of fake news — an attempt to divert attention from the true issues which affect our country… We do not intend to let the Democrats or the establishment Republicans or anybody else behind this story stop this campaign. There are investigations going on. In the next few days, there will be revelations about the motivations and the content of this article. They will be brought to the public."
As problematic as attempting to vilify his accusers is, Moore is not alone in this endeavor. On Friday, another Alabama politician suggested the women alleging sexual misconduct ought to be prosecuted for waiting so long to come forward. (In a parallel situation happening across the news landscape, stand-up comedian Louis C.K. simultaneously confirmed the sexual assault accusations made against him in the New York Times and painted himself as the victim — sans apology, no less.) Such is sadly the regular form of response men accused of such needs commit when confronted with such claims.

LONGINES World's Best Racehorse Rankings 11-05-2018
World leaders highlight Asian Racing Federation racing excellence
Hugh Bowman and Winx return to the winners circle after winning the 2018 Group 1 LONGINES Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) at Randwick, picture Sportpix.com.au
The dynamic duo of Rosehill trainer Chris Waller's mare Winx (AUS) and her jockey Hugh Bowman are on top of the world rankings after the LONGINES World's Best Racehorse Rankings released this week for three-year-old's who have raced between 1st January and 6th May, 2018.
With her dominating victory in the Group 1 LONGINES Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) at Randwick on April 14th Winx, at a rating of 130, is now alone at the top of the third edition of the LONGINES World's Best Racehorse Rankings.
Winx won the Queen Elizabeth by 3 ¾ lengths over Gailo Chop (FR), 120, and in doing so, she improved her rating to 130 from 129. It was the Australian star's 25th consecutive victory. Her other wins this year include the TAB Chipping Norton Stakes (G1) and The Agency George Ryder Stakes (G1).
The remarkable six-year-old Street Cry mare has now raced 35 times for 29 wins and three second placings with stakes earnings of A$18,998,424.
Wins is currently spelling before Waller commences her preparation towards an attempt for a record fourth win in the Group 1 WFA Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley in October.
Bowman meanwhile leads the LONGINES World's Best Jockey table with 50 points over Hong Kong based Zac Purton with 48 points.
Winx's rider won the LONGINES World's Best Jockey in 2017 and he and Purton have a head start on their European based compatriots as the latter head into their Northern Hemisphere summer season.
Purton improved his standing on the table with impressive wins on Champions Day at Sha Tin on April 29th.
The John Size trained Ivictory (AUS) under Purton took a major step to the top of Hong Kong's sprinting ranks winning the Group 1 Chairman's Sprint Prize (1200m) to earn a rating of 120. Ivictory defeated Mr Stunning (AUS) who also has a rating of 120.
Another to make a major step towards the leading ranks trained at Sha Tin was the Tony Cruz trained Pakistan Star (GER) under William Buick in the Group 1 Audemars Piguet QEII Cup (2000m).
Pakistan Star has always shown considerable promise, however, wayward racing manners in the past have not allowed the five-year-old gelding to perform at his peak. His dominant and popular win in the QEII Cup earned a rating of 120.

Der Bockberg ist ein  hoher Südwestausläufer des Großen Hornbergs im Harz bei Königshütte im Landkreis Harz, Sachsen-Anhalt (Deutschland).

Geographische Lage
Der Bockberg liegt im Unterharz innerhalb des Naturpark Harz/Sachsen-Anhalt. Er erhebt sich unmittelbar nördlich einer im Königshütter Ortsteil Neue Hütte gelegenen Kurve der Bundesstraße 27. Direkt südlich vorbei fließt durch Königshütte die Kalte Bode, die etwas weiter unterhalb die Talsperre Königshütte speist.

Geologie
Am Südwesthang des Bockbergs ist der Teil eines Vulkans des Devonmeeres zu sehen. Trümmer von Keratophylarlaven in weißem, kaligem Bindemittel haben hier eine vulkanische Brekzie aufgebaut, die von mit Roteisenstein gefüllten Gängen durchadert ist. Die Hochfläche des "Bergs" ist weitgehend verkarstet.

Naturschutz und Flora
Auf dem Bockberg und seinen Flanken liegt seit 1967 das Naturschutzgebiet Bockberg. Auf den Goldhafer- und montanen Halbtrockenwiesen gedeihen zahlreiche seltene Pflanzen, darunter die Trollblume.

Manchester United transfer gossip
In a statement on the official QPR website, the former England international said:
"My soul mate slipped away last night. Rebecca, my wonderful wife, passed away peacefully after a short battle with cancer at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London.
"She was a fantastic loving mother to our three beautiful children. She will be missed as a wife, sister, aunt, daughter and granddaughter. She will live on in our memory, as a guide and inspiration.
"Myself, my parents Janice and Julian, along with Rebecca's parents Lesley and Stephen, would like to thank our families, friends and my club colleagues who have rallied around in these desperate days, weeks and months.
"I would also like to express my gratitude for the dedication and expertise of the staff led by Professors Johnstone and Clarke at the Royal Marsden. Their valiant efforts to prolong Rebecca's all-too-short life will not be forgotten.
"Our grief, as a family, is total. We would appreciate being allowed to mourn privately."
The pair married back in June of 2009 when he was still with Manchester United, following a long period of dating beforehand. They have three three children – Lorenz, Tate, and Tia – the first of which was born in 2006.
The veteran stopper was likely to retire at the end of the current season, but as yet it is unknown what his plans are, though this tragic news will undoubtedly play a key role in whatever decision he makes.

uTorrent is one of the most popular BitTorrent clients out there for several reasons: it's fast, lightweight, easy to use and very efficient.
µTorrent was written with efficiency in mind. Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources - typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if it weren't there at all.
Additionally, the program itself is contained within a single executable less than 2.0 MB in size.

The untimely death of Marie Harvey Bellande at the age of 54 years on March 17, 1894, was the catalyst for the migration of the family from the Reynoir Street homestead. She was buried at the Old Biloxi Cemetery in the Bellande family plot.
Arbo Bellande (1868-1961)
The Depot Saloon and General Merchandising
With his matrimonial predicament in the past, Arbeau Bellande continued in his social life and successful saloon business near the depot. Several articles appeared in The Biloxi Herald of 1892, 1893 and 1894 concerning his affairs: The old Bellande building near the depot has been torn down and the foundation is being laid for a new two-story edifice.
Joseph A. Bellande and family circa 1940 at NOLA?
Antoine V. Bellande Jr. (1869-1924) was known as Newt. In later years he signed official documents using Newton rather than Victor as his middle name. Newt was born at Back Bay on Harvey Hill the 10th day of October 1869. Newt Bellande was a bon vivant. He appears to have led a carefree bachelor life. His chosen occupation was bartender. He probably learned this trade from his older brother, Arbo, at the Depot Saloon.
Bubby Bellande, a Negro, appeared before Justice of the Peace Z.T. Champlin under a charge of assault upon a Negress and was fined $2.50 and costs. Bellande related that he gave the woman a whipping because she cursed him.(The Daily Herald, October 18, 1910, p. 8)

BandGrip holds surgical incisions and laceration edges closed without needles or staples, reducing negative cosmetic outcomes. But we know a picture is worth a thousand words. Below, see for yourself the results of orthopedic surgery using staples versus BandGrip wound closure solutions.
Surgical staples do not allow for precise wound alignment, leading to the arched stapling positioning shown in this photo (this is also why they should never be used on the face or neck). In most patients, stapling also makes their scar more pronounced and darker in color, especially if the staples are left in for any length of time.
Following removal of BandGrip and at 5.5 weeks post surgery.
BandGrip 3.5"x1.5" bandages offer a non-invasive method of wound closure (it can also be tiled or applied along the length of the wound for large incisions, as demonstrated in these knee replacement surgeries). BandGrip's ease of use allows for more precision, enabling surgeons to better align laceration edges for a cleaner look.
Following surgery, the familiar feel a bandage versus sometimes uncomfortable staples provides a sense of normalcy and confidence for patients, and upon healing their scarring is less pronounced. With BandGrip, patients are more satisfied with the results of their procedure and more pleased with their surgeon.

Górski potok o długości około 7 km, należący do zlewiska Morza Północnego, lewy dopływ Dzikiej Orlicy. Źródła położone na wysokości około 706 m n.p.m., na południowo-zachodnim zboczu góry Kamyk w Górach Bystrzyckich na północny zachód od miejscowości Kamieńczyk. Potok w górnym biegu spływa płytką, szeroką doliną przez wyludnioną wieś Czerwony Strumień. W dolnym biegu potok płynie częściowo lasem w kierunku Lesicy, gdzie wpada do Dzikiej Orlicy na poziomie 510 m n.p.m. (w tym właśnie miejscu odbijającej od granicy).

Koryto potoku w dolnym biegu kamieniste z małymi progami skalnymi.

In life we all want to reach the pinnacles we dream of. If we don't have some clear defined goals in mind then our hard work will not be focused on anything and we will fall for anything . The moment your hard work gets recognized and appreciated , it becomes a very fulfilling experience. This fulfillment brings with it respect and admiration. Honor society is an organization that recognizes the excellence among peers .
There will be different societies that recognize the good work in different areas and fields. Students get invited to honor societies based on scholarly merit . The honor societies will award recognitions based on the grades as well. Membership will not always be based on academic qualifications and in those cases the societies will have other ways of defining grounds for membership. These grounds would be for instance undergoing and completing membership of a certain program. Sometimes those with membership through scholastic achievements will need to fulfill another criterion. Exclusivity to one member society might be a requirement before joining, this means that you are barred from becoming a member of another society.
Robes of the academic world may be sued to signify membership of a group to a society especially in instances of a gathering. In other instances , colored devices will be sued to identify members. Its important to note that there are very split differences between a other groups and an honor society. Honor societies can be found in high schools, colleges and post graduate levels as well. The most prevalent of these organizations however will be found in the university levels. Honor societies are for you if you are after building a framework for achievements. Honor societiesare grounds for you to soar greater heights especially because they expose you to areas of life that are eye openers for you.
Students that have good performance in academics get introduced to leadership a and that way they develop other skills. The societies work in a way that they do not put the effort of all members in general . Honor societies acknowledge that every great mind has a way it thinks and comes up with idea, they understand that every member is unique and therefore have to acknowledge each of them for their effort. Honor societies are full aware of the members ability and what they can achieve is not limited to the grades they register from assessments. As a result there are other qualifications being used to award membership.


Saturday was Edith Piaf's centenary.
Her voice, her life, her repertoire: everything contributed to turning the small street singer into a variety star, one of the major and worldwide figures of French popular culture. Let's remember a singer who helped shape French national identity in the 20th century.
Édith Piaf was born 100 years ago on December,19,1915 at the Hospital Tenon in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. She lived a life marked by pain and success in near equal measure. Beginning her career in nightclubs, she rose to national prominence during World War II and achieved international renown following the war. But for all her popularity, she lived in fear of loneliness. Piaf's mother had abandoned her shortly after she was born, and she was raised for many years in a brothel run by her grandmother. Though she had a daughter at 17, the girl died as a toddler.
Born Édith Giovanna Gassion, she was nicknamed La Môme Piaf (meaning "the little sparrow") by her first manager, Louis Leplee. He discovered her singing for her supper on the streets of Montmartre. Following her gripping debut performance in Paris in 1935, the singer quickly rose to celebrity status within her home country. Following Leplée's murder a year later, the singer struggled to manage her career without him amidst allegations of personal involvement in the crime and the ensuing scandal. Eventually, she sought out songwriter and businessman Raymond Asso, who would become her lover in addition to managing her professional recovery and the rehabilitation of her image. It was Asso, in the spirit of "rebranding," who suggested that the young woman change her name to "Édith Piaf." Piaf kept singing about the streets where she'd come from all her life. As for America, Piaf cracked the world's biggest market more than a decade before the Beatles (she won a Grammy hall of fame award in 1998). She popularised the French language overseas with titles like 'Je ne regrette rien' and 'La vie en rose'.
She took many lovers, including world heavyweight boxing champion Marcel Cerdan, despite him having a wife and children. Marcel flew to New York to surprise her before a show in 1949 but his jet crashed killing all 48 people on board. Piaf took to the stage that night after hearing the news and collapsed mid-chanson, and had to be helped off stage. She always maintained that Cerdan was her one true love. After a tumultuous love life, her lovers provided the inspiration and sometimes co-penmanship of several of her songs, Piaf married a singer, Jacques Pills, in 1952 and divorced him five years later. Her second marriage, when she was 46, was to a 26-year-old Greek hairdresser-turned-actor, Theo Sarapo.
As she got older, Piaf sunk deeper and deeper into addictions to alcohol and morphine, ultimately dying at 47 of cancer. After her death, Piaf received the highest honour from the French government when the tricolor flag was draped over her coffin.
If you want to know more about Edith Piaf's life, I recommend you watch the movie La Vie En Rose, an incredible biopic on famed French singer Edith Piaf who is a stupendously performed by Marion Cotillard. The role won her an Academy Award. You could also read her autobiographies called "The Wheel of Fortune: The Autobiography of Édith Piaf" by Édith Piaf originally published in 1958 or "Édith Piaf", by Édith Piaf and Simone Berteaut, published in January 1982.
With lyrics written by Piaf herself, "La Vie En Rose" is surely the best-known and most-loved song in her repertoire. First released in 1946, this tiny masterpiece would go on to become a worldwide hit and an essential piece of the popular music canon. It is also the title of the 2007 movie which starred Marion Cotillard.
Written by composer Charles Dumont and lyricist Michel Vaucaire, "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," which translates to "No, I regret nothing," was recorded by Piaf in 1960, after she had declared her intent to retire. This song has remained popular in the pop culture cloud for over 50 years, being regularly covered, used in advertisements and films (notably 2010's Inception).
Edith Piaf wrote the lyrics to this dramatic torch song about the love of her life, boxer Marcel Cerdan, just months before his death in a plane crash in October of 1949. The music was composed by frequent Piaf collaborator Marguerite Monnot. The song has been popularly covered by many artists, including Josh Groban and Japanese pop star Hikaru Otada.
This famous number, which tells the tale of a woman of the night who falls in love with an upper-class gentleman who she sees on the street, was written by lyricist Georges Moustaki and composer Marguerite Monnot. It's written very much as a performance tune for the cabaret, with part of the song being performed in a danceable upbeat bal-musette-influenced style, with breaks for dramatic rubato segments. Though not as famous as many of her other songs, the faster-timed melody is immediately recognizable.
This song, whose title translates to "The Crowd," was based on the tune of an earlier popular South American Waltz written by Angel Cabral, with the newer French lyrics written by Michel Rivgauche. It tells a story of a pair of people who are united by the movement of a crowd during a street festival, only to be separated and pulled apart by the same crowd mere moments later.

In this situation, the fact that the taxa under consideration share the trait state may hint strongly that they are closely related. But the fact that the trait state is plesiomorphic means the hint may be entirely misleading. It must be disregarded. The question whether those taxa are closely related must be determined from other evidence.
The term symplesiomorphy was first introduced in 1950 by German entomologist Willi Hennig.
Reversal – is the loss of a derived trait state, reestablishing the plesiomorphic trait state present in an ancestor.
Pseudoplesiomorphy – is a trait that cannot be identified as a plesiomorphy nor as an apomorphy.
The concept of plesiomorphy addresses the perils of grouping species together purely on the basis of morphologic or genetic similarity without distinguishing ancestral from derived character states. Since a plesiomorphic character inherited from a common ancestor can appear anywhere in a phylogenetic tree, its presence cannot reveal anything about the relationships within that tree.
A famous example is the trait of breathing via gills in bony fish and cartilaginous fish. Bony fish are more closely related to terrestrial vertebrates, which evolved out of a clade of bony fishes that breathe through their skin or lungs, than they are to sharks, rays, and other cartilaginous fish.
Their kind of gill respiration is shared by the "fishes" because it was present in their common ancestor and lost in the other living vertebrates. The shared trait cannot treated as evidence that bony fish are more closely related to sharks and rays than they are to terrestrial vertebrates.

Govt scraps 'barbaric' self-isolation rule for care home residents after threat of legal action
in UK
Care home residents will be able to leave for "low risk" visits without self-isolating for 14 days on their return.
The change comes after the government was threatened with legal action – with family members claiming that existing rules were "barbaric".
From Tuesday, residents will be able to leave their care home for a walk, or visit a loved one's garden, and not face any restrictions when they get back.
However, they must follow social distancing and be accompanied by a member of staff throughout – or one of the two people who are their nominated visitors.
Are vaccines having a real impact on COVID cases?
They won't be allowed to meet in groups, and can only go indoors for the use of toilets, or to cast a vote in the upcoming local elections.
Residents may also be able to eat outside at a restaurant with their care worker or a nominated visitor if this has been agreed with the care home in advance.
Some rules remain unchanged. Those attending medical appointments and going for overnight visits will still be subject to a 14-day isolation period.
John's Campaign had been threatening to issue the legal proceedings next week unless the blanket requirements were dropped.
Co-founder Nicci Gerrard said: "Why did this rule ever exist in the first place – depriving people of their liberty, turning care homes into prison, treating one group of people with such cruelty."
Fellow co-founder Julia Jones added: "It should never have been considered permissible to confine adult members of society, without their consent (or those who speak for them) merely because there address happens to be that of a care home."
New data suggests 95% of elderly residents have received one dose of a coronavirus vaccine, while 71% have received two.
'Third wave might just be an upsurge'
The Department of Health and Social Care has said the self-isolation requirements that remain in place for care home residents will be reviewed again when the next stage of the government's roadmap is reached on 17 May.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: "With the data continuing to head in the right direction and as restrictions ease, it is my priority to keep increasing visits for residents in the coming weeks in a safe and controlled way."
And care minister Helen Whately added: "I know this has been long-awaited for those who haven't had a chance to enjoy trips out. I look forward to encouraging more visiting and trips out in future as we turn the tide on this cruel virus."
According to NHS England, more than nine in ten people over the age of 45 have now received at least one dose of a COVID vaccine – with 120,000 appointments booked before 9am on Friday as vaccines opened up to those aged 40 and 41.
A further 15 deaths from coronavirus were announced in the UK on Friday, taking the total to 127,517 – with 2,381 new cases confirmed.

How NYC's Super Skinny Skyscrapers Stack Up Next to the World's Tallest Buildings
Alissa Walker
Over the last two decades, a new type of building has invaded New York City: The super skinny supertall known as a "super-slender." This new generation of skyscrapers range from 50 to 100 stories, are almost uniformly filled with luxury housing—and some are wedged into the city with astoundingly tiny 45-feet-wide footprints.
An update of 2013 exhibition at the Skyscraper Museum in New York looks at how the slender movement came to be: from the air rights laws that made them possible, to the design innovations that allow architects to build such spindle-thin towers.
"Slenderness" is an actual term by engineers that historically describes a structure with a 1:10 or 1:12 ratio when comparing a building's width to its height. In the last few years, newer buildings have been able to achieve even more jaw-dropping ratios. The SHoP-designed 111 57th Street has a ratio of 1:23! This will make it the most slender building in the world.
Although some of these towers are going to be among the tallest in the US—depending on who you ask, the Nordstrom Tower will just barely top 1 WTC for Western Hemisphere bragging rights—they're still in the shadows of the world's tallest structures. Here you can see how the super-slenders compare to some of the supertalls and superbigs (I just made up that last term). One can only imagine that as advances in engineering and elevator tech progress, we'll soon be seeing buildings as tall as the Burj that are only a handful of yards wide. It gives me vertigo just thinking about it.
[New York's Super-Slenders]


I just returned from a week in California. The first part of that week was spent with the women of Oak Hills Church of Folsom, California, at their retreat on Lake Tahoe. It was three beautiful days of worship, testimonies and encouragement and I was able to share in the beauty of it all. When the retreat concluded, I spent the next four days recording six new songs for my next cd project at a studio in Sacramento. All in all it was a wonderful week!
I have to admit that I loved the spring weather in California and the break it gave me from life here on "Planet Morris". When I had free time I would take long walks or sit in the sunshine. I read books, journaled, and prayed. I met new people and shared in the stories of some, and the prayers of others. I was refreshed and encouraged.
The tomatoes grew gray beards in my absence and there is a suspicious odor wafting from the refrigerator. Someone used a bath towel on the dog and hung it back up in the bathroom to become the giver of dog hairs to the next user, and now, after being reuinited with my children from a week of absence, they all are asking if they can go somewhere and hang out with someone else or do something fun. "We're bored!" they say.
Ahhh, motherhood. The attempt to be all things to all people. I must navigate the world of video games, heroes and "Power-ups", in order to engage in the conversations with my boys who speak of the virtual world as something to be attained. My oldest daughter needs "girl time" and conversations late into the evening as she sorts out life and her place in it. My youngest needs me to paint and dance with her, and engage in the life of her stuffed animals who are each facing various crisis. My husband needs me to keep the ship afloat in his absence by managing the businesses, finances and household.
The tasks can be overwhelming and daunting at times. Sometimes I feel like I am at the top of my game, and other times I feel like I am at the bottom of the laundry basket. So I sneak in nap on the couch while the boys are playing with legos, and the girls are working in their own projects and I wake to the requests of hungry kids who need a snack or something good to eat…which reminds me that I need to go to the store and get some groceries, oh and deposit some checks, pay some bills, drop off some paperwork, return a few phone calls, and make some appointments.
There is no way that I can attain the "All That"status. I have too many flaws, but the good news is that God didn't ask me to be "All That". He asked me to be His. What does that mean?
God asks me to eat from His table, receive from His hands, listen to His words, and enjoy Him. Yes, I have responsibilities as a mom and wife that keep life running here, but my primary responsibility is to enjoy the Lord and be a receiver of His love and affection. How else will I have any love or affection to give to another?
My job is to "Consider the Lilies"—smell them, gaze at them, wonder at them and reflect on their life. My job is to watch the birds, build and make nests, gather food and feed their young and consider that the God who keeps their life vibrant and beautiful will do the same for me. My job is to worship and be a receiver of the love and grace of God.
I'm God's daughter first, a wife and mother second, and hopefully a friend and mentor. I will have successes and failures, joys and sorrows, accomplishments and mistakes, hopes and disappointments. If anything I do encourages or lifts another it is evidence of the Grace and Mercy of God alive and well here on Planet Morris, and I suspect; no, I know He is at work there on your planet too!
Just catching up on reading your blog after a major computer catch. But God's timing is always so perfect!
Thanks for expressing so well the feeling that overwhelms me too often!
Just about the time I think I have it all together… Reminds me of who I need to center it all on!
Thanks Cate for your words and your wisdom!
That was supposed to be computer crash! LOL Obviously not a "having it all together" moment!


Providence Community Library (PCL), has been awarded $544,800 by the Champlin Foundation to repair, renovate and preserve the exterior of Knight Memorial Library. The grant will fund cleaning and renovations to all exterior masonry as well as repairs to the roof, guttering, cornice and skylights. The work will take place in Spring 2018.
"This is the first major work on the exterior of Knight Memorial since the library was built in 1922 and decades of deterioration have resulted in leaks and other damage," said Jeffrey Cannell, Library Director. "We are delighted that we can now schedule more extensive repair work on this beautiful building, which is in the heart of the Elmwood Historic District. It's a boost for the entire neighborhood," he added. Knight Memorial Library was closed for urgent repairs and upgrades from July to October this year.
The Distribution Committee of the Champlin Foundation is pleased to provide grant funding to PCL to help this important institution advance its vital mission. Champlin Foundation grants are awarded on a competitive basis and its grant to PCL is a reflection of its confidence in the organization's ability to improve the lives of Rhode Islanders in significant ways.
PCL, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, is the largest library system in Rhode Island. Three regional libraries, Rochambeau on the East Side, Mount Pleasant on the West Side and Knight Memorial on the South Side serve larger areas of the city, while Fox Point, Smith Hill, Washington Park, South Providence, Olneyville and Wanskuck serve the needs of smaller, diverse neighborhoods. PCL provides 54,000 patrons with materials, resources and services, programs, free computer and internet access and much more.

Architecture and Modern Literature by David Spurr (review)

Architecture and Modern Literature by David Spurr
Architecture and Modern Literature. By David Spurr. Ann Arbor: U of Michigan P, 2012. xiv + 285 pp.
David Spurr's assembly of lucid essays, attentive to the question of dwelling in the last two hundred years, explores the intersections of meaning produced by modern architecture and modern literature. Modernity itself is immediately designated by the author as a "set of material and symbolic forms that constitute the modern world and our experience of that world" (ix). Underpinning these forms, for Spurr, is a more fundamental question regarding the overall relation between literature and architecture. These two fields are given a kind of equivalence in the book, summed up succinctly when the author remarks that the "art of the built environment is architecture; that of language is literature" (49) or "for poetry does with the material of language what architecture does with the materials of the earth" (205). Throughout, one senses an admirable desire to relate the two at all costs: literature must have an architectural counterpart.
At the conceptual core of this work is an interest in describing architecture and literature in terms of forms and figures. Yet a clearer distinction between what is meant by an architectural form or figure and a literary one could have strengthened the argument, as the words form and figure have had differing connotations in each realm over the last two centuries. One feels as though the author's remarkable effort to connect the two worlds has partially eclipsed the ways in which they speak differently to us. Despite this concealment, though, Spurr's conviction that the architectural metaphor in modern literature is of prime relevance is eruditely and convincingly argued.
Central to Spurr's account is the urgency of understanding the concept of dwelling today. The notion of dwelling alludes foremost to Heidegger, and in particular to the philosopher's essay of 1951, [End Page 259] "Bauen Wohnen Denken" (Building Dwelling Thinking). To dwell, for Heidegger, is to know one's place and to feel at home in the world. Only if one is capable of dwelling can one then proceed to build. Spurr draws from this definition in Architecture and Modern Literature, where learning to dwell in the wake of a world which allows for disorientation remains a key concern. In addition, referencing Walter Benjamin, Spurr agrees with the idea that the twentieth century has put an end to dwelling in the highest sense. Benjamin's account in Das Passagen-Werk (The Arcades Project) invites quotation:
The nineteenth century, like no other century, was addicted to dwelling. It conceived the residence as a receptacle for the person, and it encased him with all his appurtenances so deeply in the dwelling's interior that one might be reminded of the inside of a compass case, where the instrument with all its accessories lies embedded in deep, usually violet folds of velvet … The twentieth century, with its porosity and transparency, its tendency toward the well-lit and airy, has put an end to dwelling in the old sense.1
Spurr follows this line of thinking to interpret the nineteenth-century attempt at building a home as a doomed effort and a paralyzed theme—one that must end in ruin and in a consequent homelessness. While Heidegger urges one to learn how to dwell and Benjamin urges one to abolish any trace of dwelling, Spurr combines aspects from both authors' approaches and calls for a redefinition of dwelling, one that is adequate for the modern era and moves beyond traditional concepts. To assist in this reconstruction, he looks in particular to Marcel Proust's Albertine disparue from A la recherche du temps perdu as a work suggestive of a displacing and destabilizing attitude toward architecture. Modern dwelling must accept its nomadicity, Spurr suggests, just as one must learn to live again with ever-present landscapes of nothingness. Likewise, the emptiness of modern space becomes a point of departure for today's dweller and the possibility of creating that void his challenge.
Organizationally, the book moves largely from early nineteenth-century investigations to the writing and architecture of living [End Page 260] authors. The introduction...
