Bloom Watch
The blooming of the cherry trees around the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. has come to symbolize the natural beauty of our nation’s capital city. The famous trees, a gift from Japan in 1912, signal Washington’s rite of spring with an explosion of life and color that surrounds the Tidal Basin in a sea of pale pink and white blossoms. Thousands of city residents and visitors from across the nation and around the world come here to witness the spectacle, hoping that the trees will be at the peak of bloom for the Cherry Blossom Festival.

Cultural News: Lecture: True story of the first Japanese colony, Jan 19
January 19, 2010 (Tuesday) 6:30 PM
Brian Tadashi Maeda, film director, will be speaking about his current film project: “Samurai of Gold Hill”
It is the fascinating sage of the “Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Colony,” first Japanese colony to establish itself in California.
The last samurai group of Aizu-Wakamatsu during the Bakumatsu (the End of Tokugawa Shogunate) period, escaped from Japan with a lead of a German to settling in Gold Hill, California.
The year was 1869, the second year of the Meiji when they finally arrived at California. [more information]

Getting a lot of spam bots or spammers trying to register at the forum.
I delete a lot of them, and sometimes I may inadvertently delete a legitimate registration, so please retry if that is you. That can be avoided if you use a good name and a good email address, a lot of the spammers use hotmail, gmail and yahoo because they are so anonymous. I get around the spammer by checking the IP address to see if they are problem IPs.

I’m appalled this has happened!
We have U.S. Soldiers fighting a war against alleged “terrorists,” yet they’re here in our own back yard, and have been here for a long time. The Department of Homeland Security, DHS, needs to do more to protect all American’s within the U.S. and monitor these right wing terrorist groups, so that this doesn’t happen again.
The constitution should be enough to protect all citizens against this hate, so please defend our constitutions from those who wish to change it.
