einfach toll !!
The ultimate feel of winter.
Oh danke! Ich freu mich noch gar nicht richtig auf den nächsten … es wird wirklich ziemlich kalt hier.
Ja, in Canada ist es ja grundsätzlich ziemlich kalt. Wie kalt es im Winter dann erst wird, mag ich mir gar nicht vorstellen. Puh!
nice snow circle
what a shot
encloses a strange feeling of energy!! hope it makes sense!
Oh, it does, at least to me That's pretty exactly what I thought when I saw what the camera did there ...
Stunning work. Alive.
a real snow movement!!!
the magic of montreal! wonderful!
haha.. yes, that too! You know the one element of Montreal that always charms me is the stairs, the curved stairs, everywhere. It's such a enriching part of the city's architecture, to me. I like that these two join up. Talking about the city so much makes me miss it now!
Better take your time with missing MTL, it's just a giant brownish-gray puddle these days I also found these stairs extremely captivating, it actually started on google street view, when I was planning my move to this city. Even though I'm still seriously puzzled why we have them in a city that is covered in snow (outside stairs included of course) for a significant part of the year ...

House Ag Panel Holds Hearing on State of the Rural Economy
USAgNet - 05/19/2017
The House Agriculture Committee held a hearing on the 'State of the Rural Economy' this week with the USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue testifying. The hearing focused on a variety of issues ranging from crop insurance, the reorganization of the rural development office within the USDA, trade, and more. Secretary Purdue made comments before answering questions from members of the committee.
In his testimony, Secretary Purdue and several members of congress stated support for expanding trade and crop insurance.
"We are fortunate to live in a nation where we grow more than we consume and that's the essence of trade," Secretary Perdue stated. He highlighted the USDA reorganization which created the Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs which will be responsible for assisting on opening new and protecting current markets as well as working to support interagency efforts with the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative.
On crop insurance, Representative Roger Marshall of Kansas made note of the recent blizzards in Kansas and stated, 'disasters like the ones we have had in Kansas are prime examples of reasons to have a strong farm safety net.'
Other issues of importance addressed during the hearing included support for inland waterway infrastructure updates, broadband internet access in rural areas, and the necessity of the rural development in the nation.

America is not a nation of immigrants. America is a nation of White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. Everyone else is an immigrant. Even the early Celtic add-ons were not part of the foundations. The later Irish Catholic immigrants were most definitely not part of the foundations. The social order, that is, the government of the colonies, and that system which distilled into the Declaration of Independence, was created by White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. The Constitution of the United States of America is the work of Englishman who separated themselves, by war, from their home country.
Modern descendents of the Scots, the Irish, the Germans, the Italians, the Jews, etc., are first to declare that America is a nation of immigrants. This is their self-protection. Therefore this is their talking point when it comes to addressing the issue of immigration in general. But their mantra 'America is a nation of immigrants' only justifies their own presence here. The fact is, these people are all additions, not founders. All of the early immigrants, besides the Jews, have of course blended themselves into the founding sentiments. It was easier for the Scots than anyone else, because they were "British" anyway.
Nationhood is an ancient concept. Again, Aristotle observed that immigrants, foreigners, or add-ons generally bring perpetual discontent, no matter how early they engrafted themselves into the history of the nation. Speaking of causes of discontent, he says:
Then there is difference of race or nation, which remains a source of dissention until such time as the two groups learn to live together. This may be a long process; for just as a state cannot be made out of any and every collection of people, so neither can it be made at any time at will. Hence, civil strife is exceedingly common when the population includes an extraneous element, whether these have joined in the founding or have been taken on later.
This was observed by the famous pupil of Plato in the later part of the 4th century BC. Aristotle, The Politics, trans. Sinclair (Penguin: 1962), BK V, Ch.iii (p.196). The Jowett translation puts it this way:
Another cause of revolution is difference of races which do not at once acquire a common spirit; for a state is not the growth of a day, any more than it grows out of a multitude brought together by accident. Hence the reception of strangers in colonies, either at the time of their foundation or afterwards, has generally produced revolution.
And so we see that "immigration" is a fundamental concern of any nation. It is a development, and also a threat. It represents growth, but also change. Change is the concern of the nation.
From the American Indian point of view, the foreign invasion of various Indian nations can all be summarized as a "white" invasion. The White Anglo-Saxon Protestants certainly had no intention of becoming part of any Indian nation. That isn't why they came here. Nor did the WASP people intend to create a substitute European environment, with different nations of Scots, Irish, Germans, Italians, or Polish people. Everyone was to be white and Protestant, and to speak English. It was an Anglo-Saxon nation that was created on Indian land, not an Irish Catholic nation, or an Arab Muslims nation.
Interestingly, the Jewish roots in America are quite different from the modern public impression. The original Jews in America were sephardic, originating from Western Europe. They were not Russian Communists, and they didn't come in 1910.
They came in 1655. They came from Holland.
The Jews had been expelled from Spain in 1492, and from Portugal in 1496. Don Luis de Carvajal (a "murrano," or cryptic Jew) first came to New Spain (Mexico) in 1568. He later got the largest land grant in history from Philip II, and was appointed governor of The Kingdom of Leon in 1579. This isn't exactly American history, but, the point is, Jews were here on this continent, very early in its European, or non-Indian history. Jews were all over the Gulf. Friar Juan de Torquemada wrote in 1615 that West Indians (Caribbeans) looked like Jews, and their languages abounded in Yiddish words! Monarquia indiana (Seville, 1615). This story is all told so well in Harriot Rochlin's Pioneer Jews (Houghton Mifflin, 1984).
Portugese Jews had migrated to Brazil as well as to England, then Holland. They obviously were in search of freedom from religious persecution. Remember that English Puritans were taking refuge in Holland as well. Amsterdam to be exact. Jews took part in Dutch commercial enterprises, and found themselves in New Amsterdam (New York) as early as 1654-55. (This group had actually gone to Recife, Brazil, but fled again when the Portugese recaptured the city in 1654.) The Jews were part of the changing world scene, and camped out in Newport, Rhode Island. These Western European Jews are America's founding Jewish population, not the later Eastern, ashkenazim.
Dr. Abraham J. Karp said in 1976 that Jewish people in America were guided by "the conviction that Jewish interests coincided with American well-being." (See, The B. G. Rudolph Lectures in Judaic Studies, "Jewish Perceptions of America: From Melting Pot to Mosaic," March, 1976. Perhaps a self-protecting platitude, but, the Jewish issue focuses the immigration issue like no other element can. In the Jewish management of ethnic identity there is the clearest articulation of the definition. The Jewish community must advocate pluralism for its own survival, yet, must also advocate freedom to maintain its own separateness. The Jew cannot afford to blend any too much.
This is why the later Communist Jew created such a critical influence. Communism is all about blending, about removing distinctions. Communism is about "equality." An ethnic Jew (or "Hebrew," as Ilana Mercer calls herself, rather than a non-practicing Jew) is perfectly safe in Communism–as long as he doesn't practice any form of Judaism. Communism was about hiding Judaism. Communism was about blending, or, erasing Judaism. Only in this way, the ethnic Jew might survive. Realizing this maneouver was at least part of the reason David Horowitz parted ways with the movement. This was around the time he became acquainted with Isaac Deutscher, the Polish Jew, the Marxist ideologue who said the Sino-Soviet split was Marxist blasphemy. Nationalism, which indicated market competition, was not allowed in true Communism. See, David Horowitz, Radical Son (Free Press, 1997), p. 142, f. Communism meant no Judaism. This is why, in America, home of so many "liberal" Jewish Communists, the new Jewish Right developed. Jews had freedom to be Jewish here, and they preferred to preserve that identity, despite the chaos the multiculturalism and pluralism that self-protective "Hebrews" had advocated.
The White Anglo-Saxon Protestants welcomed Jews, even in the early colonial days of America. The WASP cultural identity was in fact based on Judaism, on Biblical social customs and values. How could the Jew not be welcomed? That there are organizations like the ACLU and the ADL today only indicates a lingering, nagging uncertainty about "To Be or Not To Be A Jew," as Rabbi Milton Steinberg put it (1941). At this point, the argument that other non-WASP groups must be nurtured and honored by the Jew, in order for the Jew to protect himself from persecution, is a dangerous argument, and really ought to be dropped. It invites anti-Americanism. This in turn invites anti-Semitism.
The secret of successful immigration, at least conceptually, is first to preserve the national ethos, which is White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Secondly, any different, foreign group must never, ever appeal to the tax dollar for support, or even protection. "Congress shall make no law" for any such purpose. The excess of foreign elements has distorted the intent of the 1st Amendment entirely.
America has become a kind of international bazaar, or buffet, where all the ethnicities and religions of the world come to market their novelites. This is fairly ridiculous in human history, and sounds the death knell of the nation. A nation is not a business. A nation is a family. A family is a sacred thing. If not mangaged uprightly, the children become monsters–a threat to themselves and to society. This is the final effect of multiculturalism.
Ask any Indian nation how it preserves itself. It isn't by letting anyone and everyone claim to be Indian. There are exceptions, but they are not the rule.

British sculptors Gilbert Prousch and George Passmore were born in Italy and Devon respectively. They met in 1967 as students at St Martin's School of Art in London. Their strategy was to make themselves into sculpture, so sacrificing their separate identities to art and turning the notion of creativity on its head.

Sieg 2.0 is a Rare card found in the Breakout set of .hack//ENEMY.
Tips and StrategiesEdit
Sieg 2.0's To Play cost really relies on luck as to whether it's good or bad, so it may as well be a non-factor. Since it poses no hindrance to play, has a base attack of 2, and has an effect that basically prevents most destiny cards from going to waste, Sieg 2.0 is pretty much the perfect starting PC. It's best to play Sieg 2.0 as early in the game as possible, as it has the potential to build defenses (by playing PCs and items) or a proper offense (by storing monsters) quite rapidly.

Families often move from a shelter to their own apartments with nothing to furnish their homes and very few of the necessities. Moving is expensive for anyone, and for many of these families, the move exhausts any savings they have and places them in a financially unstable position. The Emerging Leaders Housing Project helps cover some of the up-front costs of families moving from shelter. Emerging Leaders work with the family to collect some basic furnishings and help address needs specific to each participating family. Emerging Leaders lend their professional expertise to the family by offering some financial planning assistance and helping create "success centers" in the home - for example bill payment and organizing stations, or places for kids to do their homework.
Emerging Leaders work closely with nonprofit case managers and shelter providers to identify families that are ready to move to their own housing. Our partners continue to provide case management and support to the family as they move out on their own.
Emerging Leaders aim to make this critical transition easier to help the family stay financially secure and independent. We can help families spend less time in shelter and more time in stable housing. That's a win for everyone. It's less cost to our nonprofit partners and local government, it's a healthier and more stable environment for kids, and it's helping parents get back to working and contributing to our community. Please consider supporting this event so we can continue to help families get back on their feet and ensure kids have safe, stable, nurturing homes to live in.

Romance for the Solstice
My last post raised a few eyebrows (and maybe other things), but today I'm posting something for the romantics. If you're snuggled up next to the fireplace looking for a sweet, romantic holiday read, try The White Stag, available in a variety of ebook formats from the incomparable Dreamspinner Press.
The fantastic cover art is by Paul Richmond. If you love it as much as I do, you can purchase a giclee or Christmas cards at Paul's online store.
The fantastic cover art is by Paul Richmond. If you love it as much as I do, you can purchase a giclee or Christmas cards at Paul's online store.
Here's what it's about: In the aftermath of September 11, a grief-stricken Joshua finds comfort and solace in the arms of a mysterious man who also lost someone that fateful day. Jude Balder, the son of a U.S. Senator and a well-known artist in his own right, is everything Joshua has ever wanted, except for the whole "religion thing." Joshua is a Christian, and Jude... well, Jude is something else entirely, something abstract and scary and indefinable, something that is definitely not Christian. When Joshua receives an invitation to a Solstice/Christmas party thrown by Jude and his Senator mother a couple of years later, he's faced with a quandary: Should he worry about the dangerous allure of the unknown, or will he dare take the chance to bask in Jude's undeniable perfection?
It's a sexy, romantic story with a touch of holiday magic. I hope you enjoy it.

Writing Flash Fiction: Take my story away before I wreck it.
I've been playing with flash fiction lately. It's been an interesting exercise for me. As a writer I tend to inject a lot of detail into my storytelling and when you are working with a form that allows you 500 words to tell the whole story, it makes you more linguistically frugal.
I like the idea of limitations in writing.
Here's an unvarnished truth for you: I am a terrible poet.
But I enjoy poetry. I like to read it and I like to write it. I'm just not very good at writing it. I can't really stand unstructured, moody free verse poetry. My free verse quickly evolves into paragraphs and characters, and a story emerges. But I do like poetic forms; sonnets and sestinas are particular favorites of mine. They're like Sudoku or song lyrics, so defined that the words become critical. Make a misstep in a long, free verse poem and the other words swirl around to mask the glaring problem, but add an extra syllable to a sonnet and it's no longer a sonnet.
I write sonnets by writing down fourteen lines of story and then playing with the words to make them fit the form. Matching words to meter and rhyme without sounding stilted or pretentious is a challenge to which I can seldom do anything more than aspire. As I said, I am a terrible poet.
For the last few years I've written fiction in the same way, by throwing something down on the page and then working it over and over until I feel like I've managed to eke out all the excess.
But it hasn't always been that way. I used to spend evenings sitting in front of a blank screen cursing my lack of creativity. I tried to channel Natalie Goldberg (in Writing Down the Bones, she urges writers to "Write through the dross.") but in my heart of hearts I categorized her as a journal writer, not a fiction writer and, while I loved her and tried to do what she said, I could not really believe the process was relevant to fiction.
And then one night in 2001 or 2002 I was watching a marathon interview with Toni Morrison on C-SPAN and she said that was her process. She would just sit down and write something--anything--and then go back and work the lines, aerating the roots and straightening the rows, coaxing the blooms to life, tangling or untangling the vines. And I thought, "Well hell, maybe I need to try that." And suddenly my fiction output increased exponentially.
So my first drafts ramble and wander, carrying trunks full of excess wording, unclear phrases, and misplaced emphasis. By working with the material, editing and moving and shortening, I eventually arrive at the moment when it seems complete enough to submit. To tell the truth, recognizing that moment is sometimes as hard as the actual writing and editing.
Sometimes I wish there were someone else to read my work, someone to say, "Okay, we're done with this one. Write some more about that gardener or maybe work on the one about the hospital."
So flash fiction seems like a good way to hone my skills, to polish my craft. I mostly write the flash for myself, but on occasion I find someone who's interested in a piece of it. Pill Hill Press contracted a zombie flash story called "Z-Day" for their anthology Daily Bites of Flesh, 2011, and another zombie story for Daily Frights 2012. I've got a couple of other pieces out there floating around looking for homes, so maybe I'll have more flash fiction publication announcements soon.
I saw Six Degrees of Separation first on Broadway and then later as a movie (dozens of times). It's one my favorite works dealing with the big questions about how and why we translate experience into memory or art or stories. There is a scene in the movie where Flan Kittredge, a middle-aged art dealer, is talking about the process of painting and he has this to say:
I remembered asking my kids' second-grade teacher: 'Why are all your students geniuses? Look at the first grade - blotches of green and black. The third grade - camouflage. But your grade, the second grade, Matisses, every one. You've made my child a Matisse. Let me study with you. Let me into the second grade. What is your secret?' 'I don't have any secret. I just know when to take their drawings away from them.'

It's not the number of schools you apply to that is important. It's the thought and care put into each application. If you are applying to some very exclusive, competitive programs at colleges, you may need to apply to up to 30 colleges. If your best friend knows exactly where he wants to go, and knows he can get in, he might apply to one college. The more you search, ponder, and apply based on your needs as a student, the fewer colleges you will need to apply to. And don't forget, applications, test score reports, and other things connected to college applications cost money.

A New York businesslady, Helene Hanff (Bancroft), begins a correspondence with an antiquarian bookseller in London, Frank P. Doel (Hopkins). Initially driven by her desire to receive mail order books, their letter-writing eventually takes in their hopes, fears and loves.
Already a big success on television and the stage, it seemed unthinkable to have anyone else but the British thesps lined up here playing the lead roles. A straightforward yet thorough relationship burgeons and is a pleasure to behold against the perfectly recreated period settings; its like reading a good book in a comfortable environment.
This is a low-key, some would say slow, tale of a flourishing love affair between two book lovers. Far from suffering for its literary pretensions, the film lounges in them and, as the missives zip across the Atlantic, we are drawn into an almost forgotten world of correspondence by letter.
Sometimes a film sets out not to have you on the edge of your seat, but to have you reclining thoughtfully in it.

2018 three-star athlete Slade Bolden has seen his recruitment really pick up this spring, with Alabama being the latest to jump on board with an offer. The talented West Monroe (La.) athlete continues to get major attention.
The 5-11, 185-pound athlete said that the Alabama offer really shocked him, but is excited to explore Tuscaloosa on a visit eventually.
"Just like when I received the LSU offer, I was shocked. It was crazy," Bolden said. "I never thought I'd ever get an offer from Alabama. I thought maybe LSU, local Louisiana guy — I thought maybe, but Bama, I never thought I'd get it. Thought it'd be awesome to have one. It was crazy to get it."
The success Nick Saban's program has had under his direction stood out.
"Probably because the success of what they've done and one of the biggest programs, if not the biggest programs in the nation," Bolden said. "Knowing that I have the opportunity to play at the highest level and for the best team in college football is crazy."
When comparing Alabama and LSU, the two offers meant different things when he picked them up. http://www.scout.com/college/lsu/story/1777476-2018-ath-mike-williams-up...
"Well, I would say LSU meant more to me because growing up an LSU fan, but the Bama offer meant almost as much because it's so out of the picture to me as far as something that could happen. It's hard to compare," Bolden said.
The entire LSU staff does a good job of keeping up with the shifty athlete.
"Coach O talks to me a good bit. Just got off the phone with him yesterday," Bolden said. "Talked with coach DJ (Dennis Johnson) last week. He does a good job of staying in contact too. He (Tommie Robinson) seems like a great guy. I haven't talked to him much, but he seems like a great guy to hang around with."
When speaking with Orgeron, the two touched on numerous topics including West Monroe's run in the state playoffs for baseball.
"He was telling me how much they want me there and want me to come down and camp on June 4," Bolden said. "He asked about baseball and how everything in life is going. It was just a general conversation."
Bolden is focused on his team's baseball playoff run right now so his focus is there before he turns his attention to visits and planning the rest of his recruitment and a decision timeline.
His Top 10 was released after the interview including, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona State, Louisiana Tech, LSU, Ole Miss, TCU, Texas Tech Vanderbilt and Washington. LSU, Ole Miss, TCU, Vanderbilt, Memphis, Navy and Marshall are some of the schools Bolden singled out during the interview as coming after him the hardest.
Bolden is ranked as the No. 42 overall athlete, No. 15 athlete in the South and No. 2 athlete in Louisiana in the 2018 class. At quarterback, he racked up 1,370 yards and 24 touchdowns rushing and 906 yards and nine touchdowns and zero interceptions passing. As a wide receiver, Bolden caught 15 balls for 248 yards and four touchdowns.

"Slade Bolden is a great high school playmaker with experience at quarterback, running back, and receiver. Bolden owns the physical attributes that would translate to the secondary, too. Bolden flashes great short-area burst and agility. He plays with a mean streak and he's unafraid to test the middle of the field as a receiver. Bolden shows good vision as a ball-carrier and impressive cutback instincts. He can slash and also owns adequate top-end speed to hit the home run. He lacks ideal size, but is not too small, by any means. He may not be the very fastest guy on the field, but he's plenty fast and he's a natural football player and competitor. Bolden projects to the Power Five level as an offensive athlete." - Gabe Brooks

The Telegraph have been forced to issue an apology to Sunderland forward Adam Johnson, who scored the penalty just before half-time on Sunday and the incident that also saw Coloccini sent off helped to turn the game in Sunderland's favour.
They then beat 10 man Newcastle 3-0 for their 6th win in a row against their rivals.
The Telegraph had suggested that Adam's celebration after the goal – he had his arms outstretched like a plane and then fell to the ground – was a reference to John Alder and Liam Sweeney – who lost their lives when the Malaysian MH17 jet was shot down over Ukraine.
Adam Johnson after scoring last Sunday
This is some of what the Telegraph's Luke Edwards – the former Journal reporter – wrote after the game:
"Some claimed the former England international was making a spiteful and provocative reference to the two Newcastle supporters who died when a Malaysia Airlines Flight was shot down over Ukraine last year."
"Johnson should apologise for any offence caused, even if was not intended as it was perceived.'"
That was nonsense and players celebrate like that all the time including players like Andy Carroll.
It would be somebody very evil and warped who would do that on purpose, especially because Adam Johnson was a Newcastle United fan when growing up even though he was born in Sunderland.
This is what the Telegraph have now printed as an apology and placed it at the front of Luke's report of the game:
'Adam Johnson – an apology
In an earlier version of this report, we included the accusation that Adam Johnson had goaded Newcastle's supporters with an aeroplane celebration after he scored his goal, which we suggested was a reference to the two Newcastle supporters who died when on the crashed Malaysia Airlines flight over Ukraine, last year.
We now accept that there was absolutely nothing in the goal celebration which could be sensibly taken to have been a reference to these tragic deaths. We apologise unreservedly to Mr Johnson and have agreed to pay a sum of damages to the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.'
In addition, The Telegraph have paid a sum of damages to charity – the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
John Alder and Liam Sweeney are treasures at Newcastle United and we're quite sure that Adam Johnson meant no ill will – and the fact the Telegraph have apologized so quickly tells us that was not in his head at all.
What was in his head was that he had scored (yet again) against Newcastle after Sunderland has been pummeled for the previous 45 minutes of the game.
We're glad this thing got cleared up quickly and that the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation was given a donation – hopefully a big one.
Comments welcome.
