About the Bucketworks Members’ Site

This site is being developed for Bucketworks Members, to use to communicate to the world and among themselves.

Your own “mini-site”

One of the benefits of Bucketworks membership is your own space on this site. Your space here would be in the form of a “page-group” or “mini-site”, with the group of pages having its own Home Page, Side Bar, and optionally Site Header and Group Header.

There are just a few restrictions on how you can use your space here. First is that you can not (or hardly ever, anyhow) read-restrict your pages - anyone can see the material you add here. One corollary to this is that we’ll need to reserve the right to veto content that’s intolerably intolerant or filthy. How we’ll define that will probably have to be worked out over time, like a lot of what we’re doing with the site; with luck, it won’t ever be an issue.

You can password-protect your pages from being edited by other members, however. We will write-protect your page-group with the password you choose.

Communicate

You can also post your news, events, suggestions, requests and ideas here.

The Planet's Best Orchestras? Let The Debate Begin.
Gramophone's poll of music critics names the world's top 20 orchestras. "Seven American orchestras, four German and three Russian make the list, which is topped by the Royal Concertgebouw of Amsterdam. The mighty Berlin Philharmonic and the refined Vienna Philharmonic are second and third respectively." The Times (UK) 11/21/08
Is Chicago Taking Over The World?
First Obama, now the Chicago Symphony. "Gramophone asked classical music critics from the U.S., Europe and Asia to come up with their top 20 favorite orchestras. After the lists were compiled, the Chicago Symphony came out on top in the U.S." It beat out six other American orchestras that also made the cut. NPR 11/21/08
Christmas Theatre Bites -- But Surely It Doesn't Have To
"So Christmas is once again lurching towards us with all the stealth of a Salvation Army band and as I look around at what the arts have to offer I'm left with the same nagging question I have every year - how do we manage to make art about Christmas so boring?" The Guardian (UK) 11/21/08
Poet Donald Finkel Dies At 79
"Donald Finkel, a noted American poet whose work teemed with curious juxtapositions, which in their unorthodoxy helped illuminate the function of poetry itself, died on Nov. 15 at his home in St. Louis." The New York Times 11/21/08
Shutting Philly's Libraries Means Shutting Out Its Poor
"Philadelphia, which created the nation's first public-library system, had the good fortune to receive 25 of Carnegie's libraries. But if Mayor Nutter goes through with his crisis plan to shrink the library system by 11 branches, the city will lose four representatives of its original Carnegie legacy. What will happen to Carnegie's four temples of knowledge is anyone's guess." Philadelphia Inquirer 11/21/08
Where The Dominoes Fall In The Art Market's Collapse
"The art market's crash -- for that is what it is -- threatens to remake the art world. In the past few weeks, auctioneers, dealers, artists and collectors have changed strategies and policies, and it's likely that future changes will be even more sweeping. ... Here, a look at how the art-market retrenchment will affect its players...." Wall Street Journal 11/20/08
In Rome, Strike Shuts Some Museums
"Some of Rome's most visited museums and monuments are staying shut as ticket-booth workers and security guards stage a one-day strike amid fears of job cuts. The city-owned company that manages museums in the Italian capital - Zetema - says the walkout has closed several venues." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (AP) 11/21/08
When History Repeats (With Great Box-Office Timing)
"Playwright Michael Yawney spent the last three years crafting a comedy about Anita Bryant's 1977 campaign to repeal Miami-Dade County's first gay-rights ordinance. Yawney never expected that on the eve of its world premiere Thursday in Miami, 1,000 Homosexuals would be so relevant." Miami Herald 11/20/08
