James Churchward wrote five books on the lost continent of Mu (also called Lemuria).1-4   More about Churchward’s works later. There is even a group called “The Lemurian Fellowship” located in Ramona, California, which […]

Even a few weeks ago I was pretty much certain that trying to impeach Trump was a waste of time, since he would not be convicted in the InSanity House (the Senate, personified, this week,  by that dude, Orin Hatch who doesn’t care about Trump’s “peckeradillios”.  I mean, he is probably jealous. He looks so […]

Romance, like any genre, is a many-splendored thing, and its riffs, subversions, and adherence to its own formulas, tropes, and cliches generate a unique and flavorful narrative. Genre fiction is famously flexible and broad, making even the lesser examples a tasty treat. I myself, as a fantasy freak par excellence, purchased Eragon on DVD recently […]

The University of Minnesota’s presidential mansion in St. Paul could get close to $1 million in upgrades before its next residents move in. Mike Berthelsen, vice president of university services, told the Board of Regents on Thursday that Eastcliff needs new heating infrastructure and electrical wiring, which could cost as much as $970,000. Rent proceeds from other university venues will pay for the improvements. Regents urged Berthelsen to consider additional upgrades that the mansion may need but might become politically untenable once a new president is living there. In 1988, Kenneth Keller resigned after spending $1.5 million renovating Eastcliff and another $200,000 on his campus office. Berthelsen said the kind of work now needed at Eastcliff would be “very disruptive” to the home’s residents. Eric Kaler, who is leaving the presidency next summer, plans to move out of his official residence in May, Berthelsen said. [related_articles location=”right” show_article_date=”false” article_type=”automatic-primary-tag”] Eastcliff’s next occupant is likely to be University of South Carolina Provost Joan Gabel, the lone finalist to succeed Kaler. She’ll formally interview with the board Friday morning, but she’s already been negotiating an employment contract. Eastcliff, which overlooks the Mississippi River, has housed the U’s presidents since 1961. Kaler and his wife, Karen, hosted 83 university events there in 2016-17. The 20-room mansion, which was designed by prominent Minnesota architect Clarence H. Johnston Sr., was built in 1922 by lumber magnate Edward Brooks. The Brooks family donated the home to the university in 1958.
