Joyce Architecture

Be advised! Joyce works the front desk for an Architecture Firm. Her job is saying no to the public. She deflects the callers because the Architect needs to design a building that makes sense. This is a highly coveted job. I think she is quite good at it. Although I don’t appreciate her no, occasionally I understand that it is her job. And, that it is probably nothing personal.

I need to say “No” to the Downsiders. They are wronging couple’s by intruding on their personal business. The Downsiders are causing harm. I have a problem. I also need to say No.

Kresge Book 118

 

I’ve already said some stuff about Kresge College at UC Santa Cruz. Now it’s time to think about Kresge with the correct historical perspective. The basis for creating Kresge: that Grandpa Elwood was murdered by Frances Beeks is no less true. Staff didn’t realize this for some years later. It was particularly apparent when I was a student there. I was related to Elwood; he was my maternal grandfather. I was having problems with that.

The Perpetual Dream: Reform and Experiment in the American College: A book by Gerald Grant and David Riesman, published in 1978 by the University of Chicago Press.

Chapter 4: The Communal – Expressives: Kresge College at Santa Cruz. The Kresge experience and the development that there’s no love can be read in this chapter of The Perpetual Dream.

Comment: May 15, 2025: The publication date, 1978 is the correct time for the Jeff and Tori dental procedure.

Spinoza and Rhinoplasty

So when Spinoza refers to substance, is he referring to the conditioning of the cells? It’s the substance on the outside of the cells that makes them depressed. The substance is conservative.

The rhinoplasty corrects the breathing problem. No longer making the substance the brain is able to work out the cellular conditioning in time. Little by little the cells improve. The person thinks clearly better after the rhinoplasty. This is my recent reading of Spinoza.

Today is his best day.

My highest level was March 1, 1992

There is more writing on Gevluef about Rhinoplasty. I mentioned Spinoza. I believe that he was also distinguishing the dominant and recessive traits of the conscience. This is a major theme at Gevluef: see Conscience Page (about 9 pages).

Diamonds

What I learned about Diamonds is a secret. With Transparency, I can pick one from Blue Nile. Girls can’t use Blue Nile; it’s too very well. Nonetheless, girls love diamonds.

Shopping for a diamond on a budget is not a good idea. A good diamond can be expensive. Be prepared to spend a lot. You will get what you pay for.

Another quality besides the Four C’S is the luminosity. This is the diamond’s memory or mindfulness. The GIA certified diamonds have this measured.

I hope you are happy with your diamond.

Kresge Renewal Project

Kresge College 2024 Renewal is in the works.

UC Santa Cruz students head to class this week along Porter-Kresge Road as Kresge College is rebuilt behind them. The college was founded in the early 1970s and according to a press release from UCSC, was designed with “concepts of collaboration and participatory democracy at the core of its identity.” Kresge is being rebuilt in a two-phase project and the first phase, which included three new residence halls and a new academic center, has already been completed. The second phase is expected to be completed late this year. Kresge was the sixth college established at UCSC and was named after Kresge Foundation and K-Mart founder Sebastian Kresge. San Francisco-based architecture firm Studio Gang received the Honor Award for the Kresge College renewal project at the San Francisco chapter of the American Institute of Architects’ 2024 Architecture Awards.

Kresge Narrative

The amount of money that was paid to off Elwood was $48,000. This amount is the needed information to satisfy Kresge.

Here is the story from 1958.

Grandpa Elwood Polsen, “I have to go to the hospital.”
He was shot by Frances Beeks.
J. Paul Getty Jr. Constructed a contract for the hit: the amount was, “Kresge.”
He is survived by his son Mark Doolin.

If you want to fixate on this narrative, watch the Titanic movie from 1997; see google search results for Titanic.
