Shares of Trump Media shot up more than 9% on Wednesday, hours after the company revealed it was urging House Republican committee leaders to investigate possible "unlawful manipulation" of its stock. Why, as late as 2007, were well-established ideas like rainwater harvesting, motion activated lighting and solar PV seen by BP as worthy of making such a fuss about? BP said it wasn’t supposed to be a station for the future but about making today a little better (though it also said it was, “Not as green as we hope to make it in the future.“) So why is the present, let alone the future, taking so very long to arrive? Here we are, 10 years later, and most filling stations are still being built to the same soulless, ugly, and wasteful designs to which Helios House was supposed to be an alternative. Having achieved some good publicity/greenwash (depending on your point of view) with Helios House, cynics of Big Oil’s motives will be delighted and unsurprised to note that BP soon lost interest in the project.

On the issues: John Duarte and Adam Gray on abortion, inflation and Central Valley water wars

The district has a slight Latino majority, with white voters also accounting for nearly 40% of the electorate, according to data from California Target Book. It includes cities like Madera, Ceres and Merced and portions of Modesto and Turlock, as well as rural swaths of the San Joaquin Valley. Democrats held a five-percentage-point registration advantage as of late February and Biden won the plurality-Asian district in 2020, but despite the registration advantage, Republicans turned out in higher numbers than Democrats in the 2022 midterms.

House tour: Architectural homes in Los Angeles

Many of the house's original interior features are still intact, including wainscoting in the foyer that is pressed paper made to look like embossed leather. The house is now part of the Heritage Square Museum in Montecito Heights. Keynote Records released one by Josh White in 1942,[27] and Decca Records released one also in 1942 with music by White and the vocals performed by Libby Holman.[28] Holman and White also collaborated on a 1950 release by Mercury Records. White is also credited with having written new words and music that have subsequently been popularized in the versions made by many other later artists.

The Missions and Ranchos are a special designation of historic homes that have such a unique position in telling the history of southern California that they deserve a separate page. Quite apart from these environmental considerations, it also looks quite unlike any other gas station. Its structure is formed from hundreds of stainless steel triangular panels (not recycled, but fully recyclable), arranged in a deconstructivist style to flow from canopy down onto supporting columns and cashier’s kiosk without any clear break between elements. The gas station is illuminated (by low energy LED lighting) at night, and looks rather fantastic. It is one of those all-too-rare non-ugly non-crap filling stations this blog really likes, and which prove that filling stations don’t have to be the spirit-sapping hellholes most of them currently seem to be.

Perry Mansion

Photos of the house at its original location show a mansion high on a hill, lined by magnificently landscaped trees. They are a testament to the wide variety of Victorian architectural styles, from the Far East- and past-obsessed Moorish Revival and Richardson Romanesque to the Arts and Crafts-inspired Foursquare and Eastlake movements. There are also several brilliant examples of exuberant Queen Anne-style houses.

The district includes Orange County’s Little Saigon and Vietnamese Americans account for about 17% of voters, according to Political Data, Inc. With Porter and her whiteboard out of the picture after a failed Senate bid, the former GOP Assembly leader’s competition appears less formidable this time around. The Democratic challenger, state Sen. Dave Min, has little of Porter’s star power. During the March primary, fellow Democrat Joanna Weiss also battered him over a 2023 DUI arrest, a controversy Baugh and Republicans are expected to focus on during the November election. Democrats underperformed in both states in 2022, in part because their in-state political dominance helped Republicans channel voter frustration into anger toward Democrats, Wasserman explained. Trump’s campaign isn’t premised on winning a majority, something a Republican has managed only once in the past eight presidential elections, (George W. Bush in 2004).

Built in 1899 for the artist and socialite Sarah Posey, this fantastical home was bought only a year after Posey settled in by the legendary oil magnate EL Doheny and his wife Estelle. Located in the South Bonnie Brae Historic district, this multicolored wonder is on the National Registry of Historic Places. Built in 1894, it perfectly exemplifies the Victorian dictum of “more is more,” and is a combination of Richardson Romanesque, Queen Anne, and Moorish Revival styles. For the new money of boomtown Los Angeles, this exuberant combination of styles helped signal to neighbors that the owner had really arrived.

Emhoff said the plan aims to reduce the country’s roughly 132 suicides a day. Blacc encouraged people “to offer a moment of joy” when they reach out and to share a positive memory that’s going to bring the person joy. The 56-year-old also opened up about her own mental health struggles and successes. She experienced childhood depression after being molested at age 7, she said, and, because of that she knew well the feeling of “not wanting to be here.” However, she started treatment in for her unresolved childhood grief and sexual trauma.

The president has refused to give the newspaper a sit-down interview, breaking a long-standing tradition. “We have to take this serious — eight years ago we could have written it off as ‘Trump talk’ but not after January 6,” he added, referring to the Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol after Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 election. The president instead focused on the upcoming election, only striking a serious note to say that another Trump administration would be even more harmful to America than his first term.

Old Time Music is proud to have such a passionate and talented team of writers who share their love for music with our readers. There were only two singers that could do that and make it work so well. “House of the Rising Sun” went to #1 on both sides of the Atlantic and was the first major Folk-Rock success. The Animals were from the Northeast of England and were a well-known blues band even in London, 300 miles south.

I put a different spin on it by altering the chords and using a bass line that descended in half steps—a common enough progression in jazz, but unusual among folksingers. By the early 1960s, the song had become one of my signature pieces, and I could hardly get off the stage without doing it. By the time the ’60s rolled around, the folk legend Dave Van Ronk included an intense take on “House of the Rising Sun” as a steady part of his live repertoire. His young acolyte Bob Dylan largely mimicked Van Ronk’s arrangement of the song and included it on his debut album. Across the pond at around the same time, Burdon apparently heard the song from a local folk singer in England.

Burdon brought it into the Animals, who electrified the song for their 1964 self-titled debut album. Hilton Valentine played the stoic arpeggiated guitar part that foundations the song, while Alan Price tore into the organ solo as if trying to free every tortured soul trapped in this sinister place. Versions of the song have been recorded by many notable artists including Lead Belly, Joan Baez, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, Nina Simone, Adolescents, The Ventures, Duane Eddy and Five Finger Death Punch.

The whole thing was started by Hilton Valentine’s iconic guitar arpeggio beginning. The song was first recorded in 1933 by Clarence Ashley and Gwen Foster under the title “Rising Sun Blues.” In response to a question about the song’s origins, Ashley said that his grandfather had taught it to him. Grandfather Enoch was married at the time of the American Civil war, which places the timeframe we are looking at in context. Since the origins of “House of the Rising Sun“ may have been at a time when very few ordinary people were literate, nothing about the original song has been written down. So, there are some interesting references by people who have shed some historical light on the song.
