Knister, Raymond
Raymond Knister 1899-1932
(Full name John Raymond Knister) Canadian novelist, short story writer, poet, essayist, and critic.
Knister was known primarily for his realistic narratives set in rural Canada. While his works were not recognized by the general public during his lifetime, Knister was a highly respected member of the Canadian literary community during the 1920s and early 1930s, and recent criticism has acknowledged him as a pioneer in establishing a distinctively modern voice in Canadian literature.
Biographical Information
Knister grew up on a farm near Comber in North Essex County, Ontario. He attended the University of Toronto, but was forced by poor health to return to his parents' farm. Around 1919, Knister began publishing critical essays, poems, and stories about rural Canadian life in various magazines. In 1922 and 1923 he worked as a reviewer for the Windsor Border Cities Star and the Detroit Free Press before moving to Iowa City to serve as editor of the avant-garde literary magazine The Midland and to attend Iowa State University. In 1924, Knister lived for a brief time in Chicago, where he worked as a taxi driver and published reviews for the Chicago Evening Post and Poetry magazine. Moving to Toronto in late 1924, he became a frequent contributor of articles and stories to the Toronto Star Weekly and made the acquaintance of several notable Canadian writers, including Morley Callaghan, Mazo de la Roche, Merrill Denison, and Charles G. D. Roberts. Knister married Myrtle Gamble in 1927, and their daughter Imogen was born in 1930. In 1931 Knister was awarded first prize in a publisher's contest for the unpublished manuscript of his novel My Star Predominant (1934), a fictional rendering of the life of John Keats. That same year he moved his family to Montreal where he became acquainted with such well-known writers as Leo Kennedy, Frederick Philip Grove, Dorothy Livesay, A.M. Klein, and F. R. Scott. In August, 1932, Knister drowned near Stoney Point on Lake St. Clair. Dorothy Livesay, in a memoir of Knister that was published in Collected Poems of Raymond Knister (1949), maintained that Knister's death was a suicide, but her conclusions have been strongly disputed by Knister's wife and daughter, and such critics as Marcus Waddington.
Major Works
Knister's best known fiction and poetry reflects his desire to capture the essence of rural Canadian life. In White Narcissus, Knister delineated the struggle of Richard, a successful writer, as he attempts to convince his longtime girlfriend Ada to marry him and leave her parents behind in the small rural town where the two grew up. While the expressive prose style of White Narcissus has been generally well received, some critics have found Knister's use of symbolism awkward, and have faulted him for failing to fully develop the novel's themes and plots. Collected Poems of Raymond Knister contains such poems as "The Hawk," "Boy Remembers in the Fields," "Lake Harvest," "A Row of Stalls," and "The Plowman," which vividly depict rural experience and the Canadian landscape. In both his poetry and his fiction Knister presented sharply realistic portrayals of everyday images and events in order to illustrate their exceptional qualities, and communicated these impressions in a conversational language style. Speaking of Canadian literature and subject matter, Knister stated that "when we trust surely, see directly enough, life, ourselves, we may have our own Falstaffs and Shropshire Lads and Anna Kareninas."

[In the following review, the critic praises White Narcissus for its expressive prose style, but faults the novel's lack of substance and heavy-handed use of symbolism.]
Raymond Knister, a young Canadian writer, has produced in White Narcissus a first novel of very considerable charm. It is a supremely atmospheric story, in which dark and introspective moods are developed and elaborated somewhat at the expense of the plot. Mr. Knister's prose is an excellent medium for the expression of his emotional attitudes; it never flags and never becomes clogged or difficult. The result is a novel of memorable color, and of regrettably thin substance.
Richard Miln, the protagonist of the story, is a successful advertising man, who was born in a remote and rural section of a Canadian Province. He returns from time to time to the neighborhood of his youth—partly to renew old associations and to recover the sense of his own identity. Behind the nostalgia which draws him back to the country there is a deeper motive. He always returns to renew the offer of his love to Ada Lethen, the sweetheart of his childhood. Richard is convinced of Ada's love for him, but he never quite succeeds in breaking through the emotional barriers which her strange home had erected about her. Ada was the daughter of a...

[In the following excerpt, written before his death in 1932 and published posthumously, Knister discusses the history and development of Canadian literature, using autobiographical information to describe critical reaction to his works.]
We have wanted to discover and create a new heaven and new earth here in Canada, and to make others see it. When we write a poem about the pines, a novel about the mounties, or paint a picture of geometric ice-floes, we hasten to ask each other, "Isn't this really Canadian? Isn't it different from the productions of efete Europe or the United States, where the people think only of dollars, paint skyscrapers, and write about stockyards. This Canada of ours is a wonderful country. Her mineral resources alone.…"
To be sure, different environments and modes of life do make for subtle differentiations in the human spirit. But our writers have seldom cared to probe deep enough to find them. We want to be different, but not too different. The ideal Canadian litterateur is a man who has been educated as an English gentleman, though certain New England Universities will pass; in addition he should know French and Quebec life. Nor should he forget his training, but write about Canada as accurately and sympathetically as possible from the point of view of an...

[In the following excerpt, Waddington traces connections between events in Knister's life and works.]
Knister's profound sympathy and understanding for the farming people with whom he grew up is continually revealed in his art. He believed that one of the functions of literature was to heighten cultural awareness. "When a literature has been built up from the soil of a country and the lives of its people", he wrote, "the latter become conscious in a new way of those scenes and that life" [quoted in Dorothy Livesay's "Memoir," in Collected Poems of Raymond Knister 1949]. He felt himself bound to express the truth about his community, the people who comprised it, and their way of life. "There was something about the life that I had lived, and all the other farm people around me, something that had to be expressed, though I didn't know just how" ["Canadian Literati," Knister Papers].
Knister's poems, like his stories, show him experimenting with new shapes and forms moulded out of the raw material of country life. His early stories and poems each present an integrity of 'Image', a wholeness of life in infinitely varying patterns. They are, all of them, redolent of the earth and of the sights and sounds which greet men as they toil over it.

[Stevens is an English-born Canadian poet, critic, and educator. In the following excerpt, he surveys Knister's short stories, essays, and reviews.]
It is tempting to read the facts of Raymond Knister's life as a legend of the romantic artist, the writer whose blossoming career was cut short by early death. The parallel with someone like John Keats is uneasily apparent, particularly when one remembers that Knister wrote a novel My Star Predominant, based on the life of Keats, and shortly before his death Knister's wife reported in the diary she kept at that time that her husband was full of optimism about his future: he said, 'I feel just as Keats did when he said he was just coming into his powers. I feel as though I am just coming into mine.'
But the facts of Raymond Knister's life need no romantic interpretation. His life is illustrative of the role of the writer in the first decades of the twentieth century in Canada, and Knister himself seemed well aware of the difficulties involved in that role in this new country.
Raymond Knister was born in Ruscom, near Comber, in Essex County, Ontario on 27 May 1899. His father was of German stock, a man who industriously farmed the land in several places in Essex and Kent...

[A Canadian educator and critic, Northey is the author of The Haunted Wilderness: The Gothic and Grotesque in Canadian Fiction (1976). In the following review, she praises Knister's diverse talents as a writer and critic, noting the authentic voice, nostalgia, and "concealed art" in The First Day of Spring.]
In his introduction to The First Day of Spring: Stories and Other Prose, Peter Stevens claims that Raymond Knister is a much more varied author than the scanty critical pronouncements maintain. By bringing together in one volume Knister's short stories, a series of his sketches about rural life, and a number of his critical essays, Stevens allows us to assess Knister's versatility and to discover little recognized talents.
A refreshing discovery is that Knister has a sense of humour. Dorothy Livesay has remarked on the sombre tone of his fiction. but the sketches, collected under the title "Corncob Corners and Other Places," are humorous in a homespun way. At times they have a gently ironic tone reminiscent of Leacock's treatment of Mariposa; occasionally they are as corny as the title suggests.
A more important realization afforded by Stevens' volume is that Knister was an astute critic who had a sensitive finger on the literary pulse of his...

[In the following essay, Denham discusses the gothic and realist elements in White Narcissus.]
A renewal of interest in Raymond Knister is evident in three recently published collections of his work. To date, however, White Narcissus, his only novel set in Canada and first published in 1929, has provoked little attention apart from a paperback reprint in 1962 with an introduction by Philip Child. David Arnason suggests that this neglect is probably just as well: "The novel," he writes, "will not sustain hard and sophisticated academic analysis, but it will survive it ["Preface," Journal of Canadian Fiction, 1975]. Much of the scant commentary on White Narcissus has seen it as an early experiment in realism. Desmond Pacey, for instance, links Knister with Callaghan and Grove in moving Canadian fiction away from regional and historical romance towards a realistic rendering of ordinary places and events [Creative Writing in Canada, 1961]. Although most critics agree that the novel has serious flaws, they usually assert that its strength lies in its rendering of the life of a particular place and time. Philip Child, for example, insists on Knister's "success in describing farm life and manners, and … his splendid talent for catching, with simple...

[In the following essay, Clever notes that Knister's narrative technique in White Narcissus, undermines the effectiveness of the novel.]
[In his introduction to White Narcissus], Philip Child claims that in Raymond Knister's White Narcissus "the narrative is in the third person, but it is told through Richard's consciousness even though the story is more Ada's than his." If the story were told this way, the novel would be less disconcerting to read. In fact, Knister has little control over point of view, as Child's later comment, "In the case of Richard and Ada … the core of their characters is blurred by the fog of their wavering moods," tacitly acknowledges.
A casual reader looking into the book might concur with Child's first assertion. In the opening paragraphs Knister lets us into Richard's consciousness: "He found incredibly foreign the road down which he swung … He felt lost… It was an immediate relief.… Milne was inclined to wonder…" But any closer reading soon shows the randomness of point of view. Take the statement that "a boy of eleven with yellow hair on a thin neck rushed around the corner of the house …" Richard could apprehend the boy's appearance, but since he does not know the boy, how does he apprehend at first glance...

In 2008 the President was elected on charisma and hope. Yesterday he won on something less flashy but more enduring.
The leadership lessons learned from Obama's re-election yesterday are more subtle than those from 2008. For his first Presidential election victory, the ingredients were dazzling—charisma, hope, aspiration, and vision. His campaign rallying cry said it all: "Fired up, ready to go!"
It would be hard to argue that President Obama fired up anyone this time around.
What we saw this time wasn't leadership with a big, spectacular "L." It was leadership with a small "l." This style of leadership isn't dramatic. Its fundamental characteristic is pragmatism and accommodation to reality. In Obama's case, it wasn't always pretty. But one of the unappreciated truths about real leaders is, they often inch their way to success.
Americans have always been drawn to doers rather than performers. Voters loved the electrifying Obama of 2008, but they nearly forced him into a one-term Presidency when he failed to live up to their inflated expectations. An openly hostile Republican Congress downsized his ambitions and turned him into a realist--and that is the person Americans re-elected.
In the end, his win was a product not of his message of hope, but of his capacity--and that of supporters like Bill Clinton--to convince voters that the state of the economy and the world was so uncertain that the country needed competence more than magnetism.
That may hardly seem like a litmus test of great leadership, especially in rough times. And yet that's often when voters--or colleagues, for that matter--have the least patience for rhetoric and promises and the greatest appreciation for someone who can simply get things done. In his display of competent, small "l" leadership, Obama hit six crucial checkpoints:
Obviously, Obama's maturing into a pragmatic leader isn't the only reason he won. He ran a hardball campaign; he played up his strength with women and Latinos; he made the most of his likability; he raised plenty of money; and he got crucial help from allies like his wife and Bill Clinton. All these factors contributed to victory. But they could not have won him the election without the electorate's perception that he was a good enough doer to bring the recession-tossed ship of state safely to port.
What lessons does this election have for business owners? It's simple. I've long argued that charisma is over-rated. When things get rough, people don't look for flamboyance; they look for competence. Obama came close to losing the race because he promised too much four years ago. But he won yesterday because he managed to convince voters that he was just good enough to see the rest of the job through. And that was all he needed.

Walker Orders "Operation Santa" for Christmas Eve
State Ready to Welcome Santa Claus
Governor Walker today directed the Wisconsin National Guard and Wisconsin Emergency Management to assist with a very important mission Monday night. Both will help Santa as he makes his way through the Badger State on Christmas Eve.
"I want to make sure Santa has everything he needs—from food for the reindeer to the latest weather reports," said Gov. Walker. "The Wisconsin National Guard and Wisconsin Emergency Management are ready to respond to ensure Santa is able to deliver presents to all the good boys and girls across Wisconsin."
"Our motto is always ready, always there - and the men and women of the Wisconsin National Guard and Wisconsin Emergency Management are ready to assist Santa on this special night," said Maj. Gen. Don Dunbar, adjutant general of Wisconsin. "We're ready for this mission."
A KC-135 Stratotanker from Milwaukee's 128th Air Refueling Wing will meet up with Santa and his team of reindeer in the sky over Lake Superior and will provide carrots and water for the reindeer and power bars and cocoa for Santa.
Once Santa and the reindeer part ways with the air refueling tanker, they will be met by a squadron of F-16 fighter jets from Madison's 115th Fighter Wing, who will serve as an aerial escort and provide security and navigational guidance for Santa and his reindeer for the remainder of their mission in Wisconsin.
As a precaution, the 147th Aviation Battalion of Blackhawk helicopters have been tasked to pre-position critical supplies, such as reindeer feed and provide extra lift support should the reindeer have problems pulling the heavy sleigh. The 120th Field Artillery Battalion will be providing illumination support if Santa encounters bad weather and needs help landing to deliver his toys.
Wisconsin Emergency Management will keep a close eye on the weather and will provide Santa with updated storm reports.
In addition, "ReadyWisconsin" will post updates on Twitter and Facebook regarding Santa's location, as he travels across the state at www.facebook.com/ReadyWisconsin and www.twitter.com/ReadyWisconsin.

32. "Gold, the Golden Rule, and Government: Civil Society and the End of the State"
by D.G. White
Abstract: Properly speaking, money and law are natural outgrowths of human society, evolving over time via the voluntary cooperation that lies at the heart of the social enterprise. And as gold and the golden rule have for millennia formed the basis, respectively, of society's money and law, they accordingly constitute the "twin pillars of civilization," governing the social enterprise such that, in Mises's words, "the human species has multiplied far beyond the margin of subsistence." It stands to reason, then, that if money and law are corrupted, the social enterprise will be corrupted as well. And as this is precisely what the state has done, essentially toppling the twin pillars of civilization, it is necessary to understand what the state is, where it came from, and how it has systematically gone about corrupting money and law, and thus the social enterprise as a whole. For only then can money and law be returned to their rightful owners, and only then can the state be put in its proper place. Which is no place so far as the proper functioning of civil society is concerned.

Dear Sir,
I am no wild-eyed ideologue (at least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!) but I believe your paper in Libertarian Papers is one of the most significant documents ever written in the literature of freedom. I ran across it several days ago, I believe as a reference in one of the LewRockwell articles. At any rate, I decided to read the original, and I was stunned. I believe it will someday have the importance to libertarian thought that Gregor Mendel's seminal papers did on the emerging science of genetics. You postulated things I have believed for years, including the intimate connection between morality (our relationship with our Creator) and human freedom, and between human civilization and the necessary sanctity of property rights. I have intuitively "known" these things for years. Your paper, however, crystallized my thinking and laid out a logical progression that is inescapable in its conclusion. Simply beautiful!You also inferred from the same line of thought, a progression of human development and social evolution that had never occurred to me, and which filled me with more optimism than I have had in a very, very long time. I have been able to see only the immediate disaster looming right before our noses, and the prospect fills me with dread and trepidation. But I maintain a steadfast belief in God's goodness and beneficence toward the human race, and I believe that ultimately things will come out all right, that we will shed the tyranny that strangles us and emerge into the light of a beautiful future. Your article showed me the stepping-stones into that future, and for that you have my deep gratitude. I don't know if you have any more great articles left in you, but I will keep a keen eye for them should they appear. And even had Beethoven written only one of his magnificent symphonies, that alone would have cemented his place in musical history forever. Thank you!
Sincerely, John Sampson
Saint Simons Island -
My sentiments can be summed up perfectly by Mr. Sampson's above post. I agree: There do indeed seem to be very rough waters ahead, in a society full of takers that subsist on the once good will of others, which now have evolved into simple bids for governmental power paraded in the clothing of good will. History shows that freedom does and will persevere, but not without long, hard fights to maintain or obtain it. As cliché as it may seem, the serenity and freedom found just after resolution is quite similar to the quiet and beauty left after a powerful storm has finally passed. God help us, trouble is coming.

I may have written about this one before, but if so, forgive me for wanting to embellish a bit and call it to the attention of some folks I think would truly like it as I do.
Return to Me:
It's not very old, In fact I Went out and bought it shortly after seeing it the first time. It affected me that much.
First we meet David Ducovny (Bob) and his wife Elizabeth, an animal lover working to build a better and more natural habitat for the gorillas in Chicago's downtown Lincoln Park Zoo. Returning from a fund raiser they are in an accident and Elizabeth dies. The writer, Bonnie Hunt plays down the accident, in fact we don't see it at all, we get the aftermath when Bob gets home and just sort of melts down at the front door and cries, we also see their dog suffering by not wanting to eat or play. Now enters Minnie Driver (Grace), who needs a heart transplant. So, guess who's heart she gets? Although everything is completely confidential, Grace manages to get a letter sent to her donor because she feels she has to say something to them. But she doesn't sign the letter. That letter is the basis for a terrible mix-up at the end, but first Bob and Grace have a wonderful courtship, attended by her grandfather ( Carroll O'Connor), and his three cronies including Robert Loggia, who all have a hand in getting the couple together. David Allen Grier is Bob's best friend who is doing his best to get Bob back into the dating world, but picks a real doozy for his first but all goes well because they go to an Italian restaurant run by Irish Grampa (O'Connor) and Bob and Grace meet. There's a scene with bottled water that is priceless. I didn't mention that Graces best friend is Bonnie Hunt, whose husband is Jim Belushi. In case you haven't caught my drift yet, the supporting cast is terrific!
This may sound like a dramatic film but it's filled with comedy. Belushi is at his best, and the four old guys are great. They're always arguing who is the best singer, ball player, writer, etc.
This is a great little gem which seemed to have gone unnoticed when it first came out. If you've never seen it, I would suggest adding it to your netflix list. Charlie Chaplin Fan, Miss Goddess, all of you gals will love this one, and your hubby's may also, because there is enough testosterone floating around to keep them happy.

Vanessa Alonso is a meteorologist and news reporter with KTVO.
KIRKSVILLE, MO -- Another start to the annual Missouri Firearms Deer Hunting Season is in the books with mixed reviews.
There was of course a big turnout of hunters for the first official weekend of the season.
According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, the northeast Missouri region lead in deer harvest numbers on opening weekend.
But there were low numbers with the region down 5,000 from where they were on opening weekend in last year's season.
Hunters and conservation officials all agree it was the weather to blame due to the warm temperatures on Saturday and the rain on Sunday.
"Once it gets warm, the deer just lay down. Think about wearing a warm coat in 80 degree weather. You are not going to feel like going out to feed. You want to stay in a cool area out of the sun and lay down. They'll be active at night. Think about being covered in fur and being soaked and wet. They are going to lay down somewhere out of the inclement or hot weather," said Marcia Jones of the Missouri Department of Conservation.
Jones says now that the weather is cooler it will allow the deer to be more active and easer for hunters to find them.
The conservation department believes they will make up for the low numbers as the season continues.
Firearms Deer Hunting Season runs through November 20.

Crack is made by cooking cocaine powder with baking soda, then breaking it into small pieces called rocks. It got its name because it crackles when it is heated and smoked.
Crack cocaine looks like white or tan pellets (sort of like gerbil or dry cat food). Both cocaine and crack are very addictive — and very, very dangerous.
Cocaine is a stimulant, which means that it produces a fast, intense feeling of power and energy. Then it wears off (crack wears off very quickly) and the user feels depressed and nervous and craves more of the drug to feel good again.
Cocaine is so addictive that someone can get hooked after trying it just once.
Snorting cocaine can damage the septum between the nostrils, causing a hole in the middle of the nose.
Cocaine makes your heart beat faster and your blood pressure and body temperature go up. It can make a person's heart beat abnormally. Cocaine is so dangerous that using it just once can make you have a heart attack or stroke and can kill you.

>What is your hardware setup (processor, motherboard, network, etc.)? We are running a cluster of 20 AMDs running at 1.2GHz all on Asus A7V133A boards communicating over a fast ethernet plane. >Did you have any problems with the hardware or configuration? What is >your evaluation of the cause and solution? No problems with the setup, only thing with AMDs you have to append the following to the lilo.conf append="x86_serial_nr=1" that was the trickiest thing we encountered. Overall, the machines outperform every pentium3 setup for what we do (MD simulations and procedures which involve FFT) >Are you pleased with the performance and reliability of your cluster? >Please explain. We couldn't be more pleased, this system has been easy to manage with only a few hardware faults due to unknown power outages across the campus. Performance/cost ratio is astounding! >Assuming you have a limited budget (that should be everyone), what >recommendations would you have concerning cluster hardware? Determine if communications is your bottleneck, because spending the extra $ on myrinet might not be worth it. A fast ethernet switch with 24 ports might perform just as good, remember it depends on your applications, do they need a faster communication plane or not?? There is a big difference in cost with these two networking alternatives. AMD offeres faster FPUs than intel P3s and for a greater discount, you can save money there. >What has been your experience with the following hardware and financial >tradeoffs (assuming you've had some experience with them)? >Intel vs. AMD processors: AMDs won every test we performed (using G98, CPMD, ADF, etc.) Faster and cheaper to say the least. >SCSI vs. EIDE disks: We only use SCSI on our server node because /home is NFS'd there >Myrinet vs. Ethernet only vs. other network technologies: We have only gone with ethernet because our applications would not benefit greater from Myrinet, however, we are experimenting with channel bonding now (cheaper than Myrinet and nearly doubles the bandwidth of Ethernet). >Server level hardware (such as the supermicro 370DLE motherboard) vs >workstation level hardware: All of our compute nodes have workstation level hardware, while our server has the SuperMicro 370DLE board with two 1GHz PIIIs, two SCSI drives, more RAM and a GIG-E card to connect to the backplane of our switch. Hope all this helps. Joey ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.amexmail.com/?A=1

On the Menu: August 2 to August 8
Here's what happening at the Beard House next week: Tuesday, August 4, 7:00 P.M. New England Garden Dinner How often can say you've eaten a pig raised specifically for your dinner? Chef Will Gilson, a JBF Award semifinalist this year, is doing just that for this special farm-to-table meal. Gilson's seasonal, New England–inspired cuisine embodies the locavore movement—almost all of his ingredients come from his own farm. Wednesday, August 5, 7:00 P.M. From the Land and Sea This pair of modern Italian hot spots have considerable pedigree: they're owned by François Rousseau, an alum of the Ryland Inn and Gramercy Tavern, developed in consultation with JBF Award winner Michael White, and presided over by talented chef Bill Dorrler, whoseNews Feed: Chefs and Champagne® Edition

"My mother insisted on making me tomato sandwiches when all the other kids had peanut butter and jelly or tuna fish. My mother went into the garden, picked a ripe, red tomato warm from the sun, toasted homemade bread, spread it with homemade mayonnaise, and put a few slices of tomato on top. She sprinkled the tomato with salt, and as she did she said to me, "Tomatoes need salt, it brings out the acidity and sweetness." –JBF Award Winner Joanne Weir, culinary tour guide, instructor, author, and host of Joanne Weir's Cooking ClassEye Candy: Beard House

"Per Se, quite frankly, was named because we were looking at the ampersand symbol and found that in the word 'ampersand' is the word 'per se.'

Despite the fact that its philosophical and culinary roots are based on the French Laundry, Per Se has its own personality; it is its own restaurant." –JBF Award Winner Thomas KellerRecipe: Starker's Peach–Bourbon Milkshake

Open Holidays
I loved the beds, soooo comfy. Good in between point, freeway close and after driving over 12 hours from Alvin, Texas, the stop was good. I love New Mexico, so staying here was nice. The bathroom was a little small, but hey, the pool was clean and so was the room. The internet was not working so good that night, but again, sleep was more important. I would stay here again for sure.
Ive stayed here numerous times and for a little money ($60 a night) I got a nice room with an awesome TV, great WIFI, and super comfortable beds. Ive read some of the reviews on here and cannot believe they are talking about the same place!
There were four of us that stayed here in October and had a comfortable stay. The staff at check-in was very friendly (Cruz) and the manager, we did not get her name. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The beds were good and we had 4 pillows. The bathrooms were nice and clean. We were on the bottom floor that was close to the pool. All in all, we all had a great stay.
We stayed at the Quality Inn & Suits during our visit to the White Sands NM. The hotel is spectacular. We have arrived late in the evening and at first, the surroundings did not look inviting. Once we have turned into the parking area we felt we have found an oasis. The courtyard was neat and beautifully landscaped. The pool area was well lit and nicely located. In the lobby, we instantly felt welcomed. Juan at the desk was exceptionally nice - great personality and a wonderful demeanor. Our room was excellent - spacious bathroom and vanity, working appliances, 2 tables. One of our lights in the room did not work. Juan was at our door literally within seconds after our call. He took care of the problem in no time. The room was spotless and smelled fresh. The beds were very comfortable. We had the best night rest during our 12-day trip.
Breakfast area was very clean and food was wonderful - fruits, yogurt, eggs, waffles, etc. Great coffee! I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Las Cruces, NM.
We had a good experience at this hotel. We were weary from many hours on the road since the early morning. The staff was efficient, we received our ground-level room as we requested, the beds were comfy, and the room clean. Couldn't have ask for more. We got a restorative night's sleep and headed out refreshed.
We found this hotel to be very adequate for a quick overnight stay. The rooms were clean. We had good luck with the staff and found many restaurant options close by,
I stayed at this hotel back in 2009 and loved it and now I stayed there for two nights in July of 2012 and still loved it. I have no major complaints. The room was clean, the tv worked, the fridge was huge. Overall, the hotel was clean and comfortable. If you're getting breakfast there, eat early because later on it all seemed to picked over. And, as others have mentioned, the train tracks are nearby so the train can be kind of loud when it goes through at night, but it wasn't a problem for me. The beds were surprisingly comfortable and the AC worked perfectly for the summer so sleeping in the room was comfortable. If I'm ever in Cruces again I will stay here for sure! For the price I paid, it was worth it.
For more than 50 years, this hotel's familiar green sign has signaled budget-friendly lodging for families and business travelers. – In Short
Since its 1952 debut in Memphis, Tenn., Holiday Inn has become one of the most recognized hotel brands in the world.

Is there a wax similar to Ultimate Liquid Wax. I love that fact that I can get this stuff all over the place without staining.
the only thing I can think of is "Turtle Ice Wax"
When I think about trying other products, I think of all the taping I have to do before I can apply.

CHIPPENHAM TOWN: Second Kettering match called off
11:30am Friday 12th October 2012 in Sport
CHIPPENHAM Town's Evo-Stik League Southern Premier Division rivals Kettering Town have had a second fixture inside four days called off.
The crisis-hit Poppies home meeting with Bideford has been postponed because the club currently have no electricity at their Nene Park ground.
Kettering's scheduled match against Leamington in midweek was called off by league officials because of a shortage of players. The Poppies could only field 10 players in last Saturday's 7-0 Evostik Southern Premier defeat by Bashley.
They must also pay £3,000 as part of a company voluntary agreement to avoid a winding-up petition.
Kettering are bottom of the league on -5 points after a 10-point deduction.
A Evo-Stik League statement said: "The League has been informed by Kettering Town that due to a dispute with their energy supplier there will be no electricity at the ground to be able to stage their league fixture on Saturday.
"Therefore there is no alternative other than to accept that the match is postponed.''

Fiscal cliff resolution passes
Posted at: 01/01/2013 8:49 PM | Updated at: 01/01/2013 11:55 PM
Legislation to block the "fiscal cliff" is headed to the White House for President Barack Obama's signature. The bill will avoid, for now, the major tax increases and government spending cuts that had been scheduled to take effect with the new year.
Final approval came in the House on New Year's Night. The vote was 257 to 167.
The Senate passed the bill less than 24 hours earlier.
The measure raises tax rates on incomes over $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples, a victory for Obama.
It also extends expiring unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless, prevents a cut in fees for doctors who treat Medicare patients and cancels a $900 pay increase due to lawmakers in March.
Another provision is designed to prevent a spike in milk prices.

Great post....and believe it or not, there's been some recent movement in exactly that direction! I'll attempt to post a link to Moms of Reel Boys!
The good Lord knows I am not an Irish dancer, But. I too would love to see a musical of the Quiet Man with Irish Dance. By the way, all IrishCentral readers, Maureen O'Hara is looking for her 1960 tv version of "Mrs. Miniver." Let me know if you might have one!

In Dreams
It was late one night, and I had been sleeping well, but I needed to get up to use the bathroom. I went into the bathroom and turned on the light. I gasped, there was a man standing there , and I tell you, I nearly fainted. I could not believe there was a man in my house. I was petrified. The man said to me, I have not come here to frighten you nor to harm you in any way. I've come here to ask you some questions. Who are you, I asked. You know me. I don't know you! You think about it, calm down, look at me and think about it. You know me. You do look familiar. Yes, yes I look familiar. Who am I though? My heart sunk to my stomach, it hit me and I realized who he was. I said, oh my gosh, I do know you. It's been over 30 years since I've seen you. How have you been Dad? I'm afraid I'm not your dad. You have to be my dad! Think about it. How old would your dad be? Let me see now, wow, July 7th he would be 80 years old. Oh my, you're not 80 though. I figure you to be in your fifties. Who am I? Who am I he kept asking. I don't know! You do know! Look at me, think about it. Who am I? Oh my gosh, it can't be true . What can't be true ? Who I think you are. Who do you think I am? You're me, you are me. Yes, yes I am you. What have you done with your life? Have you done anything to better the welfare of mankind? Have you fed the hungry, or befriended the lonely? Have you prayed for the sick and the unsaved? What have you been doing with your life? You mourn alot in your own pity. Your pain, you concentrate on that too much, in fact, so much you waste your time. The time, as you can see goes extremely fast. Look at you. Take a good look, you've gotten old. I got on my knees and I began to pray. Lord, Jesus, have I done these things? Have I been true to you? Lord if I have not done these things, please forgive me of my sins, and help me Lord to do all these things, I ask in Jesus name. I got up from my knees but he was still there. I said, why don't you just leave, I'm dreaming. Why don't you leave now! He said, I have one more thing to tell you. What is it? I replied. You're not dreaming. I am dreaming! No, no, you're not dreaming. Feel me, go ahead, feel me! Feel you? Feel my shoulder right here. Oh my goodness, I can't believe it, I'm only looking in the mirror. It's true , I'm not dreaming. Look at how old I've become. Where do the years go? Gosh, it just goes so fast. It seems like my sons should still be little children. My wife, young as ever, beautiful lady. I've been blessed with my life. So many miracles have been bestowed upon me. Some I know not even about. I thank you Jesus for my life. Help me Lord with the years I have left, or the days, to do everything humanly possible to glorify you. For this life is to short, and one day I shall be standing at your gate, and you will say to me, why should I let you enter my kingdom? I will reply, because of the blood of your Son. Because I believe! I know he was crucified for me, and 3 days later he arose. I accepted your Son into my heart at the age of 16 and it is through his blood that I shall enter.

Virtual Equality: The Mainstreaming of Gay and Lesbian LiberationSince the debacle to lift the ban on gays in the military, the emergence of gay conservatives, and the onslaught of antigay initiatives across America, the gay and lesbian community has been asking itself tough questions: Where should the movement go? What do we want? How should we accomplish our goals? In Virtual Equality, veteran activist Urvashi Vaid answers these questions with a unique combination of visionary politics and hard-earned pragmatism. Tracing the political and cultural developments since Stonewall, Vaid shows that despite significant gains in visibility, most gays and lesbians remain demoralized and persecuted, second-class citizens in their own country. Vaid defines the status of gay America as one of "virtual equality," a state of conditional equality based more on the appearance of acceptance by straight America, rather than on actual civil equality. |

text: Cruise DressesCruise Dresses Cruise dresses are a must-have if you are embarking on a cruise with your loved one/s. A holiday on a cruise ship is one of the few holidays when you inevitably need to be dressed at your best. After all, a holiday on a cruise ship is a perfect example of living the good life, and what better way to enjoy it more than to look glamorous and fabulous in cruise dresses. The types of cruise dresses you pack with you will all depend on the type of weather, the type of activities in the cruise and the dress code of the cruise line. Daytime Cruise Dresses Day to day life on a cruise ship is informal and relaxed. Make sure you bring daytime cruise dresses suitable for the climate of your route and ports of call. Warm climate or temperature requires cruise dresses, which are lightweight and made from breathable fabric. If you are headed towards places with cool climates, make sure the cruise dresses you pack are made of material, which can keep you warm or comfortable. You may also opt for layering such as a sundress and a sweater, cardigan, coat or shawl. By doing so, if in case the temperature decides to warm up, you can easily take off the outerwear and be comfortable in your sundress. Also worth mentioning is that there are some countries, which may be included in your itinerary, with strict dress codes. As such, you may have to wear a dress that does not exposure your legs, shoulders and arms. Evening Cruise Dresses Contrary to common misconception, evening cruise dresses are not always formal. Nights at a cruise ship can be casual, informal or smart casual and festive formal. The number of the casual nights, smart casual nights and formal nights depend on the duration of the cruise and the cruise line. Since you are limited with the amount of clothes you can carry, you have to choose the cruise dresses and outfit you bring, wisely. In general, for a cruise that lasts 3-4 nights, bring one formal and three casual cruise dresses. For a 5-night cruise, one of each formal and smart casual and three casual cruise dresses should be enough. As for a cruise with the duration of 7 nights, you may have to bring two formal dresses, a smart casual dress and four casual dresses. For longer cruises, three to four formal dresses and smart casuals may be necessary. For a better idea on how many cruise dresses to bring and what type, check with your cruise line for dress codes. Cruise Dresses for Casual Nights Casual night dining requires casual cruise dresses. For this, ladies can wear sporty cruise dresses. Usually, cruises have more casual nights than formal nights, so make sure to bring more of these types of cruise dress. Since you are limited with the amount of clothes you can bring, choose dresses that are basic, yet versatile, and you can just accessorize it and wear them more than once. Another casual cruise dress you can wear, other than a sports dress, is a simple sundress. If in case the temperature in the dining room gets too cold, make sure to bring a cardigan or a shawl for comfort and warmth. Informal Cruise Dresses During informal nights, select cruise dresses that are close to formal but not too formal. Printed or vivid colored dresses should be perfect. For a dressier look, choose those with ruffles. Avoid silk or satin or chiffon as those are more on the formal category. Also a smart casual look are business dresses with clean and simple cut. You can wear a suite with your dress for added comfort. Formal Cruise Dresses Formal attire is required for evenings designated as formal nights. Ladies should wear cruise dresses suitable for the occasion. For ladies, these nights are something they can look forward to. After all, it is the perfect opportunity to dress up, and look fabulous. Formal cruise dresses maybe a simple cocktail dress or an elaborate gown. Cocktail dresses are evening dresses, and they come in various kinds of lengths. It can be barely above the knee or ankle-length. Formal cruise dresses can be simple or eye-catching. A black cruise dress is simple, yet elegant. A sequined dress is flashy and fab. More Tips on Cruise Dresses Holiday vacation on a cruise ship is all about living the good life—good food, good wine and good times. Highly likely, you will gain weight. Keep in this mind, when purchasing dresses and outfits. Make sure you are giving allowance for extra inches. You can also purchase a versatile dress that is not too figure hugging. If you are going on a long cruise, go for cruise dresses you can mix and match with your other articles of clothing. By doing so, you can wear them more than once and no one will notice. For example, bring a short dress you can wear as a dress and as a top. On one night, you can wear your cruise dress as a dress on a formal night, and wear it as a top with silk pants and fancy belt on other nights. This is one of the ways to pack lightly. Do not buy cruise dresses that are too bulky, as they will take up a lot of your baggage space. Bring with you ladies' hat and sunglasses for sunny days and cardigan or sweater for chilly nights. These are not just great for their functionality, but they are also great accessories for your cruise dresses. If you do not enjoy dressing up, there are other cruise lines with a more casual dress code. Make sure to check on this before purchasing your tickets. This way you can just bring along your sundresses and other casual dresses. Whether the dress code is formal or casual, be considerate to your fellow passenger and adhere to it. Remember, you are on a cruise because you are on a vacation. Worrying about dress codes may sound petty, but the type of cruise dresses and outfit you bring has a major effect on how comfortable you will be and how enjoyable your cruise is going to be. |

The Brits, the IRA, the Lusitania, and the QE2
Posted on Monday, March 29, 2010 at 12:38 AM

- The Brits, the IRA, the Lusitania, and the QE2
- 'Irish Viagra,' and the law about Irish jokes

So the news is that the IRA used the luxury British ocean liner, the QE2, to smuggle weapons in the '70s to use against the Brits and their sympathizers holding Ireland hostage.
For experts on history (and all other matters), like your beloved Wolfie, the ironies are irresistible.
The QE2 was owned by the Cunard Line, which, coincidentally, also owned the luxury passenger ship RMS Lusitania many years earlier. Although ocean liner and history buffs still fight over the details and just about everything else, everybody now knows that the Lusitania was also in the business of transporting arms -- though in this case, the arms were "smuggled" by the Brits for the Brits in World War I.
It was all supposed to be top-secret, but as is often the case with "British Intelligence," a lot of people had a pretty good idea what was in the cargo hold next to their steamer trunks. In fact, the German Embassy took out ads in 50 American newspapers warning passengers they were risking their lives by traveling the high seas on a ship flying the British flag. After all, the two nations were already at war.
Ironically, the New York Times ad appeared right below an ad for the Lusitiania herself.
The Lucy's last voyage from New York in May 1915 was going splendidly until Ireland was literally in sight, though the luck of the Irish was nowhere to be found. It was there, just eight miles off the Old Head of Kinsale, that a clunky German submarine (U-boat) -- with just one torpedo left -- surfaced.
With its stinky lawnmower-like engines, the sub had been barely able to keep up with the speedy Lusitania until this critical moment, but caught a clear line of fire when the giant ship changed course and turned toward her destination.
The sub fired its last-chance torpedo, which hit the Lucy below the water line with a mighty blast. Then, a second and even-stronger explosion rocked the ship -- almost certainly the explosion of it "special cargo." Mortally wounded and flooding fast, the Lucy heeled over and sank in less than 20 minutes (much faster than the Titanic, in case you were wondering).
Of the 1,959 souls aboard, 1,198 were killed. Crucially, more than a hundred were Americans, some of them prominent personalities.
The sinking of the great British liner provoked outrage around the world on an unprecedented scale. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's resolve to stay out of the war began to melt, and America signed up in April 1917. "Remember the Lusitania! Avenge the Lusitania!" inspired many young Americans to volunteer for service.
But... Was the sinking of the Lusitania planned by then-Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill to bring the United States into the war? It's the stuff of some of the best conspiracy theories ever concocted, and if you think I'm going to give you my (actual) opinion, you're nuts. You think I want my doghouse torpedoed?

who do u think been funding the provies all this time, if u look at the number of troops killed each year on maneouvres, it is on a par with the worse times in Ulster, soldiers are better with combat experience. We can blame the brits all we like, but people like De Valera ruined the chances of a Free State by getting rid of the Anglo Protestants, no wonder the loyalists have no time for us. I lost family members in the IRB, RA, BA, to provies & loyalists, was it worth it, of course not, we don't have a UI because we nationalists can't explain to the NI Unionists why it is in their interests to join, that was a sad fact 80, 40, 20 years ago & now, that's our fault, nobody else

Prior to sinking the Lusitania the Germans would shoot a warning shot over the bow of the ship, to halt. Churchill issued an order to all ships to fire on any German ship first. This order was captured by the Germans in the captains orders. It was known that ships going to Britain were carrying arms.

The Lusitania was sunk by the Germans. Winston Churchill had nothing to do with it. Suspend your Anglophobia for a few seconds and consider this unthinkable proposition: If Great Britain hadn't stood up to Germany, all of us would have either gone to the gas chambers or been subject to the most evil tyranny the world has ever seen.

A few of us here in the states suspect that anything dirty and underhanded involving the sinking of the Lusitiania and our nation's entry into WW1 had it's origins in the heart and mind of our first Globalist-Socialist President. Most likely it was a combination of stupdity and good fortune (depending on your point of view)

You are quite correct that the QEII did transport arms to the IRA. I know because the man responsible for the whole operation told me how it was done. He was a true supporter of Republicanism and would never have been bought off by this bogus peace process which he would have considered a total unilateral surrender.

Oh, for goodness sake, this Anglophobic, chip-on-the-shoulder column really has completely disappeared up its own pathetic inferiority complex.
"Was the sinking of the Lusitania planned by then-Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill to bring the United States into the war?"
Erm, no. This goes beyond paranoid nonsense and into genuine certifiable lunacy. Either state the evidence or don't ask the question.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- You see us on our sets every night, but if you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at FOX21, well we've got some exciting news for you.
These videos take you on a backstage tour of our studio, and through the construction of our new newsroom.
Currently, our producers, editors, reporters, anchors, web editors and assignment editors all sit right next to our set. That means keeping our voices down during newscasts (which is a tough task for many people in the TV business if you can believe it!), and also it's a little cramped. But that's how we've operated for 6 years, starting our shows from scratch each day to bring you the best news product possible.
Now, we're getting up and out of the studio, leaving extra room for Terry, Jeff and Justin to do weather, and moving into our old sales area. The FOX21/SOCO CW sales crew has a whole new addition to the building to operate, and we're remodeling their old space into a journalistic dreamland. We'll have a wall of televisions, some police scanners, bigger desks, more editing areas and we're even getting to demolish some of it ourselves.
The whole project will wrap up in May, and you won't know we've moved just by watching the newscasts. We're still delivering our shows each morning, evening and night as normal.

Eliminate what's not essential
By Edward T. Creagan, M.D.

From workshops and seminars, I have learned invaluable lessons about trying to survive the stress of balancing work and family. One message is consistent: You must take care of yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually. You must recognize that you have limits.
Need more help? |
If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
At a recent presentation, a wise nurse shared the "Oxygen Mask Theory." If a plane loses cabin pressure and you don't put on our own oxygen mask, you will quickly lose consciousness and won't be able to help anyone. Yes, you must take care of yourself or you won't go the distance.
At a recent retreat dealing with end-of-life issues that I attended, a wise advisor encouraged those of us in the audience to eliminate or prune non-essential commitments. Let me give you an example.
Several months ago, I was invited to speak in another country. I was honored but lukewarm about the commitment. When a preliminary invitation finally came in the mail, it was profoundly liberating to simply say, "No, I will not be able to participate." I didn't give any excuses — just gave a straightforward decline. And I felt as if 50 pounds were lifted from my skinny shoulders.
You have options. You have alternatives. You have the right — and the responsibility — to say "no."
