...Asymptote built (yes, actually built) last year at Harlemmermeer, in the Netherlands. The two-winged structure sits on an artificial lake created on land reclaimed from the sea. Embracing this quirky history, the roof of each wing is covered in a film of water so that as the wings dip toward each other visitors pass through a water alley formed by the runoff from the roof running down glass walls. That is, they walk through water--on dry land that was once underwater--to an artificial lake. The little pavilion doesn't change (unless you count the play of light...
...wonder's unique brand of uncompromising passion. For the record, he lost. Then again, only two hours before, he'd played the most exciting performance of Rachmaninoff's famously challenging Piano Concerto No. 3 I'd ever attended. So he could be forgiven for letting his football skills dip. Lang Lang is already a veteran. He's been studying his instrument since joining the Liaoning-based Shenyang Conservatory of Music at the age of 3, made his professional debut at 13, and grabbed attention in America in 1999, when his last-minute substitution in "Gala of the Century" in Ravinia...

"Dip me in chocolate/Throw me to the lesbians," they sing. "This is my Jerry Springer moment...

That culture keeps executives fixated on creating value and has helped generate remarkable returns for shareholders. Those who have stood by Weill since he invested $6 million of his own money and gained control of consumer lender Commercial Credit in 1986 have earned about six times the market average, a stellar run that, until last...
...inspired to write a bugle call to honor his soldiers’ feats. The melody certainly has the somber yet proud ring of a composer who had been bruised but not beaten. Even when played at funerals today, it is not a completely mournful tune. The way the notes dip down in the second to last set of “da, da, da,” only to come back up and end with the same three notes with which the song opens, implies not an end but a new beginning...
