The Herold-Examiner Building
1111 S Broadway.
Downtown, South Park, Los Angeles, CA
Julia Morgan
On February 26, 2011, we were invited by the Los Angeles Historic Theater Foundation (LAHTF) to preview the newly restored Belasco Theater on Hill Street, in the South Park neighborhood of Downtown Los Aneles. Ordinarily, "adaptive reuse" is a dirty word to a hard-core preservationist, but the rennovations made to the Belasco are sensitive to the architecture, and give new life to an otherwise vacant building. Working with the LAHTF and the Los Angeles Conservancy, the owner of the Belansco has created a wonderful, and vibrant entertainment complex. Restored to Department of Interior standards, and adapted for a multitude of uses, this theater is destined to become a new Los Angeles hot spot.
The story goes that Edward Doheny, who lived just southwest in Chester Place, wanted a theater closer to his residence. At the time, many of the older theaters on Broadway were in decline and beginning to turn burlesque. On land owned by his oil company, he commissioned Morgan, Walls, and Clements to create two new venues -- the Belasco (HCM-476) with a close space designed for plays, and the Mayan (HCM-460), for musicals. The theaters were completed and opened in 1926 and 1927 respectively. They Mayan took on a pre-columbian theme, while the Belasco incorporaes several different Spanish themes, including: Churrigueresque, Spanish Renaissance, Moorish, and Gothic. Doheeny choose Frederick Belasco (brother to David and Edward Belasco of the New York Belasco theaters) to run the new venue. The Belasco's opening production was Gentlement Prefer Blonds. After the theater closed, it was converted into a movie palace, became home to the Gospel Temple, and later the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC), before being acquired by the current owner.
I love my little point-and-shoot Sony T100. However, in the low light of the theater I had to use the OSI setting. As a result the interior appears an erie Victorian red, even though it's mostly blue and gold. No amount of tinting would help, so the pictures are what they are.
After the tour we decided to take a walk around the block to see what other architectural treasures were in the neighborhood:
-- The Mayan Theater (HCM-460). 1040 S Hill St. Built in 1927, the theater opened with George Gershwin's "Oh Key." It was designed by Morgan, Walls, and Clements, and is only one of eight buildings in Los Angeles designed in the Pre-Columbian (Mayan Revival) style. The hand-carved wall scuptures were created by Mexican artist Francisco Cornejo.
-- The White Log Cabin Coffee Shop. Across the street from the Belasco is an amazing little piece of Los Angeles Programmatic archiecture in the form of a quaint log cabin. Built in 1932 and designed by Kenneth Bemis, it began life as the White Log Cabin Coffee Shop. Later it was painted red and became Tony's Burgers. Today it survives as the El Comedor Mexican Grill.
-- The YWCA (Woman's Athletic Club). 1031 S Broadway. Designed by Allison and Allison in the Italian Renaissance style, the structure is impressive but in sad need of repair. Today it serves as a home of the Los Angeles Jobs Corps.
-- The Herold-Examiner (NRHP-92000382, HCM-178). 1111 S Broadway. The Harold-Examiner is a Mission and Spanish Colonial Revival masterpiece, built in 1912 by legendary California architect Julia Morgan, for William Randolph Hearst. It is said she took inspiration from A. Page Brown's California Building of the 1983 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago, however Gebhard and Winters owe this more to a coinciidence of styles. The building's colorful domes and open-arched arcades are it's most notable features, but the arches were closed in during a 10-year strike that lasted from 1967 to 1977. The Herold-Examiner finally closed it's doors November 2, 1989, and the building -- still owned by the Hearst family -- has remained shuttered ever since. Despite a scare in the early 1990's when the Hearst family wanted to tear down the building for a parking lot, it survives in relatively good condition (thanks in part to community outcry and it's designation as both a National Register of Historic Places and a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Ladmark).

I have been feeling rather misunderstood as of late.
INFPs are quiet, creative , sensitive and perceptive souls who often strike others as shy, reserved and cool. These folks have a rare capacity for deep caring and commitment--both to the people and causes they idealise. INFPs guide their behavior by a strong inner sense of values, rather than by convential logic and reason. Forced to cope with this facts-and-figures 'real' world we inhabit, INFPs may appear to have been imported from another galaxy! They gravitate toward creative or human service careers which allow them to use their instinctive sense of empathy and remarkable communication skills. Strongly religious, spiritual or philosophical people, INFPs may see the purpose of their lives as an inner journey, quest or personal unfolding. More practical or rational types may tend to discredit the INFP's sources or understanding as mystical. The search for a soulmate is a preoccupation for many INFPs , who must balance their need for privacy and peace with their yearning for human connection. If there seems to be an air of sadness INFP's spirit, blame it on this type's longing for the perfect in all things.

A sensitive plant in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light,
and closed them beneath the kisses of night.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant," 1820
AT THE RISK OF OFFENDING SOME ONE.... HAHA Like I care about being pc....... The bear with the sign 350 means there are 350 plants and animals threatened by global warming.... yeah right. Well since there is no global warming it's pretty much a moot point. And if there was global warming man can't fix it. Well I suppose some hyper sensitive climate worshiping , environmental -loving, the- sky is falling, -global warming, pious, self- righteous, gun -controling, I got way to much time on my hand, Goody Two-Shoes will tell me I'm wrong and that I need to leave a smaller carbon foot print for the good of our children and the planet..... hummmm , my kids are big and CARBONS my friend I'm going to leave the biggest foot print I can.
AND......... Global warming will lead to an unprecedented flowering of vegetation on Earth...... THAT MY FRIENDS IS A GOOD THING.
The earlier notion that global warming will lead to a drought of 70 percent of the land, were incorrect: an increase in carbon dioxide will reduce water loss by plants and their need for precipitation.
The most warm periods of the history of the world's forests have been distributed where they later disappeared from the cold snap. American researchers have studied the impact of rising carbon dioxide concentration in the Earth's atmosphere and came to the conclusion that it would be somewhat favorable for plants. The relevant article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences .
The authors calculated the need for common species of plants in the water for four-time scenario of increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Last time the concentrations observed on Earth millions of years ago. As it turned out, the stomata on the leaves of plants at the same time will lose much less moisture. Through these stomata plants receive atmospheric carbon dioxide to use it later in your metabolism. It stomata are the main cause of water loss by plants. Four-growth of the main greenhouse gas concentrations significantly reduce the time during which the stomata are fully open. Thus, significantly reduced loss of moisture and water needs of plants.
Previously it was thought that global warming would lead to negative effects of drought on vegetation for more than 70 percent of the land area. Accounting for the new factor in the spread of drought indicates that no more than 37 percent of the solid surface of the Earth will actually suffer from it.
However, the authors of the article, without giving any evidence, argue that global warming will still lead to an increase in droughts. According to them, the total aridity climate (moisture reduction) will not always offset by a decrease in the demand for water. This statement is in contradiction with the findings of other research groups, which are in accordance with the laws of physics say that increase in temperature leads to an increase in evaporation and precipitation.
According to the earlier 2016 year global warming, on the contrary, it increases precipitation worldwide both in wet and in dry areas. Together with a reduction in plant water needs it can lead to planting areas previously deprived of significant vegetation. Similar phenomena were observed in the warm periods of Earth's history in the past. During the medieval climatic optimum and Atlantic climate was not only warmer but wetter. For example, Lake Chad just thousands of years ago there was more of the Caspian Sea and the Sahara was covered by an extensive network of rivers, dried up during the subsequent cooling.

Ultimately it is God that controls the climate. For the students and teachers of " the Last Days" before Christ second coming it's not a pretty picture. Climate will be affected but that will be the least of your problems if you are on the wrong side of our creator.

I've added Shadow Tracker's head for a decidedly stranger alternate take on my small-scale (1:18) attempt at the never-produced Sigma 6 Short-Fuze figure. See the first comment below for a close-up portrait.
This plant is called the Sensitive Plant. It is named this because when you touch the leaves they curl up and close. You can see where I have touched one of them when taking the photo and it has closed. I love this plant, it knows how to protect itself. Sometimes we all feel a bit sensitive eh!

This little puff-ball flower is so delicate and pretty. The vine on which it grows has thorns (it is also called a cat-claw sensitive briar) and the tiny, lacy leaves will fold up when touched.
