CELEBRATE SUMMER SOLSTICE @ ANTEBELLUM



Today, June 21, is the SUMMER SOLSTICE in the Northern Hemisphere, which means it's the longest day of the year in 2011.

The summer solstice occurs when the sun is the farthest north in the sky, directly above the Tropic of Cancer.
The exact moment of the solstice today will occur at 1:16 p.m. ET.

While some consider the summer solstice as the beginning of summer, many actually regard it as midsummer, though the definition varies between different regions and cultures.

THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER IS AN ANTICIPATED DATE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
THE CELEBRATION IS AS OLD AS TIME ITSELF. PERHAPS WITH THE MODERN DILEMMA OF GLOBAL WARMING
IT WOULD BEHOOVE US ALL TO HONOUR THE SEASONS AS SACRED AS THEY ONCE WERE.


SUMMER~
"green, green are medows wherever i pass. and the mowers are busy among the grass."

WINTER~
"white, white are the meadows wherever i go, and the sledges glide hissing across the snow."

SUMMER~
"i'll climb up the tree where the red cherries glow, and winter can stand by himself down below."

WINTER~
"with you i will climb the cherry-tree tall, it's brances will kindle the fire in the hall."

SUMMER~
"o winter, you are most uncivil to send old women to the devil."

WINTER~
"by that i make them warm and mellow, so let them bawl and let them bellow."

SUMMER~
"i am the summer in white arrway, i'm chasing the winter far, far away."

WINTER~
"i am the winter in mantle of furs, i'm chasing the summer o'er bushes and burs."

SUMMER~
"just day a word more and i'll have you bann'd at once and for ever summer land."

WINTER~
"o summer, for all your bluster and brag, you'd not dare to carry a hen in a bag."

SUMMER~
"o winter, your chatter no more can i stay, i'll kick and i'll cuff you without delay."

~ they scuffle, in which summer gets the best of it~

WINTER~
"o summer, dear summer, i'm under your ban, for you are the master and i am the man."

SUMMER~
"tis a capital notion an excellent plan, if i am the master and you are the man. so come, my dear winter and give me your hand, we'll travel together to summer land."

WEINER REMOVAL



so ANTHONY WEINER is gone and all of "moral" america can once again placate themselves with false morality.

all the texting & tweeting he did may be an embarassment to his wife and himself. it may lead to his divorce, but it really should'nt matter to the public.
once again the people have been fooled.. this had nothing to do with obscenity. he did nothing illegal. this was pure politcal. rebulicans saw him as a major threat, so he was taken down.
i hope for the day that something this trite doesn't end the career of an effective congressman who fought for the right of people in his district.

here is ANTHONY WEINER in action and the REAL reason he was removed-

BAAL





BAAL was the first full-length play written by the German modernist playwright Bertolt Brecht.
It concerns a wastrel youth who becomes involved in several sexual affairs and at least one murder. It was written in 1918, when Brecht was a 20-year-old student at Munich University, in response to the expressionist drama The Loner (Der Einsame) by the soon-to-become-Nazi dramatist Hanns Johst.

The play is written in a form of heightened prose and includes four songs and an introductory choral hymn
("Hymn of Baal the Great"), set to melodies composed by Brecht himself.

In 1982, musician/actor DAVID BOWIE played the title role for a BBC television production of Baal.
John Willett provided the English translation and screenplay. Bowie's recordings of the play's five songs were released as an EP, David Bowie in Bertolt Brecht's BAAL.
