He'd dreamed he was going through a grove of timber trees where a gentle drizzle was falling, and for an instant he was happy in his dream, but when he awoke he felt completely spattered with bird shit. "He was always dreaming about trees," Placida Linero, his mother, told me twenty-seven years later, recalling the details of that distressing Monday. "The week before, he'd dreamed that he was alone in a tinfoil airplane and flying through the almond trees without bumping into anything," she said to me.

  • USHMM Finding
    United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Interview with Masha Loen May 11, 1991 RG-50.030*0138 PREFACE The following oral history testimony is the result of a videotaped interview with Masha Loen, conducted by Linda Kuzmack on May 11, 1990 on behalf of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The interview took place in Washington, DC and is part of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's collection of oral testimonies. Rights to the interview are held by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The interview cannot be used for sale in the Museum Shop. The interview cannot be used by a third party for creation of a work for commercial sale. The reader should bear in mind that this is a verbatim transcript of spoken, rather than written prose. This transcript has been neither checked for spelling nor verified for accuracy, and therefore, it is possible that there are errors. As a result, nothing should be quoted or used from this transcript without first checking it against the taped interview. MASHA LOEN May 11, 1990 Q: Would you tell us your name and where and when you were born? A: My name is Masha Loen. I was born in Lithuania, Kovno, 1930. I lived near Kovno in a suburb called Slobodka before the war. I came from an average home. In Yiddish they would say Balle Batish, middle class. My father was a good tailor, maybe would have called a designer here and made a good living and I had two little sisters and one older sister than I am.

Overview ↓ User Reviews ↓ Credits ↓ Releases ↓ Similar Albums ↓ facebook twitter tumblr. AllMusic Review by Lindsay Planer. Even as the name projects the vocalists some 17 years in the future, 1990 (1973) clearly offers up the unmistakable sound of the early-'70s Temptations. At this point, the lineup boasted founding members Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin alongside David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks' respective replacements, Dennis Edwards and Ricky Owens. The most recent recruit, Richard Street, had taken his cues from Paul Williams in the summer of 1971. The concurrently modern sound of "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" filtered into 1990. The primary difference being the instrumental support, now consisting of an amalgam of the Funk Brothers and members of the Los Angeles-based Rose Royce ("Car Wash") aggregate. The results were a favorable mix of compelling singles, such as the R&B chart-topper "Let Your Hair Down" as well as a pair of additional Top Ten entries with the resplendent "Heavenly" and the wah-wah funk fest "You've Got My Soul on Fire." As they had done on the unedited version of "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and more recently the title track of their previous effort, Masterpiece (1973), the Temptations stretch out with the extended social commentary "Zoom." The organic pondering groove rises from a cacophony of spoken dialogue as the trippy soul interplanetary vibe perfectly aligns with the celestial lyrics. Norman Whitfield's string score supplies some nice atmospheric touches throughout and appropriately concludes his decade-plus association with the band.

  • Christmas Message 1967 the Solar Bodies Samael Aun Weor
    Christmas Message 1967 The Solar Bodies 1 V.M. SAMAEL AUN WEOR Christmas Message 1967 The Solar Bodies Samael Aun Weor Chapter 1 Atlantis Beloved Gnostic Brethren, on this Christmas Night of 1967, we are going to start our Christic message by remembering the very ancient, submerged continent of Atlantis. The Priests of Sais in the ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs told Solon that Atlantis had been destroyed 9,000 years before having had that conversation with him. On a Mayan manuscript preserved in the British Museum, the following can literally be read: In the year 6 KAN in the 11th Mulac, in the Month Zac, there occurred terrible earthquakes, which continued without interruption until the 13th Chuen. The Country of ‘The Hills of Mud,’ the Atlantean land, was sacrificed; being twice upheaved it suddenly disappeared during the night, the basin being continually shaken by volcanic forces. Being confined, these caused the land to sink and rise several times and in various places. At last the surface gave away and ten countries were torn asunder and scattered; unable to stand the force of the convulsions, they sank with their 64 million inhabitants 8,000 years before this book was written. The famous Doctor Heinrich Schliemann who had the high honor of discovering the ruins of ancient Troy, found within the Treasure of Priam a strange jar with a peculiar shape upon it. Upon it appears a written phrase with Phoenician characters, which textually says: “From King Cronos of Atlantis.” It is interesting to note that jars very similar to those found in Priam’s treasure were also found amongst the unburied objects in Tlahuanaca, Central America.

  • Emil Kubek's Mahanoy City
    Emil Kubek’s Mahanoy City November 22, 2015 From 1904 to 1940, Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania, was the home of one of the most prolific Carpatho-Rusyn writers – Father Emil Kubek. The residents of Mahanoy City who knew Father Kubek remember him as the devoted priest of St. Mary’s Byzantine Catholic Church, but few are acquainted with his humorous lyrical poetry, touching short stories, or masterful novel Marko Šoltys, largely because the vast majority of Kubek’s work, written in Carpatho-Rusyn, has yet to be translated into English. In Europe, however, Kubek’s literary reputation has been growing over the course of the last 40 years. His poetry and prose play a central role in the literary course offerings in The Institute of Rusyn Language and Culture at the University of Prešov in Slovakia. Numerous monographs and articles have appeared on Kubek’s work. A documentary film has been made about his life. And an elementary school in Snakov, Slovakia — the village where Kubek served before emigrating to the United States — was named in his honor in 2008. The first half of the twentieth century was the great age of the urban novel, and Kubek was among the first Carpatho-Rusyn writers who attempted to make sense of the effects of urban mining life on Carpatho-Rusyn Americans. Kubek draws upon Mahanoy City to create the settings of his short stories, incorporates many recognizable buildings, individuals, and neighborhoods into his prose, and gives voice tothe immigrant experience in his lyrical poetry. Emily Kubek’s Mahanoy City invites you to discover this unique literary talent and experience the sights of historic Mahanoy City that inspired his work.

  • Actress-By-Anne-Enright
    ACTRESS A NOVEL Anne Enright ‘the more I applauded, the better, it seemed to me, did Berma act.’ In Search of Lost Time CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15 Chapter 16 Chapter 17 Chapter 18 Chapter 19 Chapter 20 Chapter 21 Chapter 22 Chapter 23 Chapter 24 Chapter 25 Chapter 26 Acknowledgements PEOPLE ASK ME, ‘What was she like?’ and I try to figure out if they mean as a normal person: what was she like in her slippers, eating toast and marmalade, or what was she like as a mother, or what she was like as an actress – we did not use the word star. Mostly though, they mean what was she like before she went crazy, as though their own mother might turn overnight, like a bottle of milk left out of the fridge. Or they might, themselves, be secretly askew. Something happens as they talk to me. I am used to it now. It works in them slowly; a growing wonder, as though recognising an old flame after many years. ‘You have her eyes,’ they say. People loved her. Strangers, I mean. I saw them looking at her and nodding, though they failed to hear a single word she said. And, yes, I have her eyes. At least, I have the same colour eyes as my mother; a hazel that, in her case, people liked to call green. Indeed, whole paragraphs were penned about bog and field, when journalists looked into my mother’s eyes.
