Would "Gay Songs" be an interesting theme?
"Gay Songs" be an interesting theme?
Shall we say it's your idea or mine?
Gay songs? Oh God!!!!! Will people be too offended if I nominate 20 songs by Village People? I have no real feel for what a "gay song" is. Or "lesbian song" for that matter. I'd go along with that theme if all gays on SC PROMISE and SWEAR they won't get offended by what I think are "gay songs".
I have no real feel for what a "gay song"
I think this will be more interesting than the nominations, just to see how everyone perceives gay songs.
You could go with gay artists, gay icons or gay content/lyrics.

Every summer since 2007 I have created an intricate set of college football predictions for the upcoming season. This year is no exception, as I will be using my blog over the next few weeks to publish my predictions. The one major modification to my predictions for 2015 is that I have gone through every team’s schedule and actually predicted the result of every game in FBS. Without further ado, here are my predictions for the Big Ten Conference. Note: the records below reflect each team’s predicted regular season overall record followed by their conference record and excludes conference title games.

A friend told me she had written to me so I was anxiously waiting for her letter as I've hardly had any mail this month. I opened the envelope to find these 3 amazing items and I felt a little guilty. My friend sent me a great birthday present but I just mentioned about receiving some piggies because as a muslim we just don't have anything to do with them. She felt bad which wasn't my intention so sent me even more things with a birthday card, so it felt like my birthday all over again which was nice of course.
I'm sure once I go back to work next week (where has the time gone!) all the letters will begin to flood in.
When you post letters do you use themed stamps or what ever the post office will use?
The U.S usually have such nice stamps so its a shame that they don't stock up on some fancy ones. Still you mentioned decorating your envelopes so it probably add us to the niceness of it.
What a cool package! Getting snail mail is the best!
Hope you're having a great week ;D.
I try to get "nice" stamps as often as I can. Due to how Canada Post is set up though, they have different designs depending on the destination-like they only made Franklin the Turtle stamps in postage amounts for letters within Canada. You can still use them for US or International, but have to add additional postage (which I sometimes do).
No matter what the stamps look like, I love to decorate my envelopes!

Inspired by the Little Free Library cabinets that offer free books to anyone in the neighbourhood, Jamie Hendricks created her own little cabinet that she filled with food to help out her neighbours. The North End Free Pantry contains some necessities that those going through rough financial times may have trouble buying. The act may seem small, but Hendricks is making a big difference in her community.
Hendricks has lived in this neighbourhood for more than 20 years, and she finds it difficult to see how the hard times affect families around her. Working as an elementary school teacher, Hendricks said she was made aware of some parents who struggled to put food on the table every day. She really wanted to help her neighbours, so she created a little cabinet on her front yard.
Using the idea from Little Free Libraries, Hendricks put up a cabinet on her lawn filled with food and other necessities that anyone is free to take. The cabinet is filled with things like boxes of macaroni and cheese, canned vegetables, and laundry detergent. There is only one rule: take what you need and leave some for others who need the pantry as well. Neighbours who get by paycheque-to-paycheque say that the pantry has been a life saver. Furthermore, the anonymity aspect of the service is important for some neighbours who don’t want to admit that they are in need of assistance. They can just take what they need and go without any gossip going around.
The North End Free Pantry has also brought together the community in the spirit of helping each other out. The project was so successful that Hendricks soon realized she needed a bigger cabinet, so neighbours kindly made her a seven-foot-tall one. A Facebook page was started to collect donations from people around, and everything that doesn’t fit in the cabinet at the moment gets stored at Hendricks’ house. Even those who need the pantry have been inspired to help out, so they rarely take more than what they need and sometimes leave whatever they have extra of in there as well.
Without being asked, Hendricks and her neighbours made the effort to start a project to help out people in their area. The cabinet of food and necessities isn’t a huge program, but it has certainly made (and is continuing to make) a difference in the lives of neighbours who need a little help for now. With these continuous kind acts, residents of the North End area have created a cycle of inspiration and charitable work that bring a little light to the neighbourhood.
Rosa Luxemburg was a Marxist activist in early 20th-century Berlin, murdered by her political enemies after World War I. She’s the topic of the debut edition of “Long Story Short,” a new podcast on people and ideas in Jewish life.
Rosa Luxemburg was always an anomaly. One of the fiercest thinkers of the early 20th century, this Marxist philosopher and firebrand activist led masses of rebels during a time when politics was governed entirely by men. Living in Berlin, she was of Polish Jewish descent but not at all concerned with the plight of Jews. Unlike her male, dogmatic, and dull peers, she believed in love and passion and life’s small but great joys. In 1919, when she was just 47 years old, she was brutally murdered by her opponents. Long after many of her colleagues have been reclassified as tyrants by history’s unremitting hand, Luxemburg’s popularity is greater than ever; each year, thousands of young activists flock to her grave for inspiration.
But how is Luxemburg relevant to Jewish history? And what, if anything, would she have to say to Sarah Palin and her Tea Party supporters? The critic and essayist Vivian Gornick joined Long Story Short host Liel Leibovitz to discuss these questions in the first installment of Long Story Short, a new monthly podcast about the people, places, and ideas that have shaped Jewish life and history. Each installment will focus on a different subject—from the 17th-century false messiah Shabbatai Tzvi to the 20th century’s princes of punk, the Ramones—and will feature a wide array of thinkers, artists, historians, and intellectuals.

Long Story Short is an in-depth monthly podcast about the people, events, and ideas that shape Jewish life and culture.
This new podcast is nothing short of inspired! BBC Radio 4’s In Our Time, a programme of which I have been an avid listener for eight years, has but two lacunae: first, that its host, Melvynn Bragg, can be a bit of a opinionated prig, second, that, with the exception of a single edition on the Rambam this year, he has avoided jewish topics entirely. My hope is that “Long Story Short” will act as a much needed jewish complement to Bragg.

Was she? In Eastern Europe, which is from where she hails from, there were lots of Jewish women leftist revolutionaries drawn to violence. Fanya Kaplan, who shot Lenin, for example, also came from a Jewish family.
They are relevant to us only as cautionary tales.
We hope to appear in the iTunes story shortly, we will keep you posted! you can subscribe via our RSS feed using the link below the podcast. Thanks.
Well done!!! I truly enjoyed it and am looking forward to the upcoming podcasts!!!
Alas, the link below the podcast failed….is there another method?
I hope there is one done on Walter Rathenau. 50 years before Henry Kissinger became the first Jewish Secretary of State in the US, Rathenau held a similar position in Germany before being gunned down by disgruntled members of a paramilitary organization at the age of 54.
Yes, I had asked for a feature on Walther Rathenau before! Excellent idea.
Aslo while we are in Berlin around that time. Helmut Newton ( real name Hoffman ) the photographer, was a Berlin Jew who grew up close to Rathenau. Newton went on to become one of the most famous photographers of the 20th century often playing with his Prussian heritage in his work over the decades. His father was a button manufacturer and they belonged to that well to do, assimilated German-Jewish world. Newton was taught by Yva, photographer to the Berlin creatives in the 20s. Yva was murdered in a death camp in ’42.
There was also Gershom Sholem around Rosa’s time in Berlin. But I assume ( guessing here ) Communism was a joke to Gershom who’s Communist brother was murdered by the Nazi’s.
Gershom and Martin would of course later kick-it in J-town.
Dani: Do you mean Helmut Neustaedter who was born in 1920? He changed his name to Newton while living in Australia. Yes, he did have a very interesting life, although I must confess I had never heard of him before your post.
Another interesting Jewish personality in the arts is actor Kurt Gerron, who, during the 1920’s and early 1930’s, was a famous actor of the stage and screen in Berlin. He left Germany in 1933, moving first to Paris and then to Amsterdam. He turned down various offers of employment from the German-American community in Hollywood, was arrested by the Nazis after they occupied Holland and eventually ended up in Theresienstadt. At the camp, he ran a cabaret for the inmates and later co-operated with the Nazis in directing a propaganda documentary, “Hitler Gives the Jews a City”, hoping it might save his life. In the end, he was deported to Auschwitz.
Consequently he left only after the German invasion.
He took refuge in a hard nosed form of Communism which was severely criticized by Adorno. He may also have been depressed at the time.
Benjamin, then, like many other Jewish European intellectuals made a number of wrong decisions and ended up dead.
Still, Benjamin, unlike Rosa Luxemburg, cared about his Jewish heritage and would never have disavowed it.
my mistake, Thank you for pointing this out. Newton wrote a hilarious autobiography, great read.
Both Lenin and Trotsky were very disappointed that so many of the post World War Communist revolutions in Eastern Europe ended in failure. So they only got to kill a few million people. And did not get the opportunity to work the killing machine on the heart of Europe. And only managed to kill a few million people prior to Stalin’s takeover.

At this year’s PraySingapore celebration on October 7, Bishop Rennis Ponniah – head of the Anglican Church in Singapore – called on Christians to pray for opportunities to proclaim the good news to their friends and family in order to transform their homeland.
Bishop Ponniah said that he, along with other pastors in Singapore, believe that God is orchestrating a season in which “many people are going to find their way back to God through Jesus Christ”.
Bishop Rennis Ponniah speaking at PraySingapore, October 7, 2018 at the National Stadium.
To galvanise Christians in Singapore to share the Gospel, several churches and Christian organisations have come together to organise the Celebration of Hope, a three-day mass evangelistic event to be held at the Singapore Sports Hub in May 2019.
“We’re praying that every Christian in every church will arise and share the good news of Jesus, personally, with relatives, friends and acquaintances, so that they may know Him in whom alone is life,” he said.
However, believers should not just view the event as merely just another evangelistic rally, but a “vital step in God’s process of revival” in Singapore, Bishop Ponniah said.
“People of God, we need revival. We need revival because the ground is hard, dark and opposing forces are many. And most important of all, the glory of God is at stake,” he said.
A key reason why the Church in Singapore needs to make evangelism a priority again is because of the lack of growth in the Christian population here, he said.
In the decades before 2010, the number of Christians in Singapore grew by 2% to 4% every decade. However, in recent years, church growth has plateaued, with the Bishop noting that the number of Christians grew marginally from 18.3% of the population in 2010 to 18.8% in 2015.
The lack of growth in our Church “injures the God who desires that none shall perish”.
“Another reason we need a revival is there is a lack of righteousness in the land,” said the Bishop. Issues such as divorce, abortion, gender confusion, sexual brokenness, gambling and other vices permeate the culture, he said.
But only God can change the conduct and ethical life of the people here and bring them to saving faith in Christ, Bishop Ponniah said.
Christians in Singapore must acknowledge their brokenness and the fractures in the local body of Christ, and to pray for churches and organisation to work together “with one heart and mind for the harvest” and for God to lead them to spiritual victory.
He also told the attendees to pray for “thousands upon thousands” of souls to be saved, that they will be ready to be discipled, and out of these new believers there would be a fresh batch of missionaries that would help the Church fulfil its Antioch call.

“The single most important factor for revival – God’s revival – is prayer,” said Bishop Ponniah.
“Let it be believing prayer, in a mighty God, whose love knows no bounds. Let it be beseeching prayer – we beg God and we don’t let go until it happens.
