Canadians are no stranger to Roots - the homegrown company, one of Toronto's most famous fashion exports, is a household name for its cozy socks and sweats, tumbled-leather bags, and doses of Canadian iconography. What might come as a surprise: The company also dabbles in furniture and home goods design, stocking a north-end store with its owned pieces designed with that same leather-wrapped, Canadian-influenced aesthetic. Roots Home Design, located at 1400 Castlefield Ave., has the airy look of a high-end furniture store while still projecting a very Roots-like coziness, thanks to a burning fireplace and plenty of snuggly textures. The decor line started after a Roots designer created a chair destined for the shoe department in one of the chain's stores; customers loved it, and they decided to branch out, eventually opening up the Castlefield store in 2008.Their specialty, of course, is rich tumbled leather, featured on modern chairs and sofas with sharp, clean lines (of course, all that leather ain't cheap - chairs go for as much as $3500).
You'll also find plenty of home decor items, including authentic Pendleton wool blankets (about $220) and sock-striped throw pillows ($65), as well as some Canadian-friendly tchotchkes.Not everything's unique to the store - several of their bags and clothing items made it up as well, including a gorgeous natural-leather briefcase (full price, sadly). Though it's not exactly an outlet store, look for them to occasionally host clear-outs and sample sales. All in all: Worth checking out if you're in the area, or if your new apartment isn't meeting Can-con guidelines.

Why is ISBN important? 26 used & new from The Russian Roots of Nazism: White Émigrés and the Making of National Socialism, 1917-1945 (New Studies in European History) "Michael Kellogg's The Russian Roots of Nazism is a major contribution to the research on the origins of Nazism. In a domain where so much has been published and discussed, Kellogg's work succeeds in introducing a dimension never so thoroughly explored: the essential impact on early Nazi world-view of ideological elements and political themes, carried over to Germany by White-Russian emigres."
Professor Saul Friedlander, 1939 Club Chair in Holocaust Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles and Maxwell Cummings Chair of European History at Tel Aviv University"Michael Kellogg ... destroys earlier myths regarding the development of Adolf Hitler's thought. Kellogg successfully refutes the long-held belief, asserted by Hitler himself, that Hitler became antisemitic and anti-Bolshevik during his stay in Vienna in the early twentieth century. Kellogg's work draws on a wealth of primary sources from German, Russian, French, and Polish archives.... This book should be required reading for anyone interested in the origins of National Socialism and its complex character." German Studies Review"Kellogg's analysis of Aufbau and its influence is persuasive." -Matthew R. Schwonek, Air Command and Staff College The Russian Review"The story and the conclusion are not new, but the monograph contains a wealth of new detail." -Robert C. Williams, Bates College The Slavic Review"superbly researched book...this work shoudl spark much debate and serves as an example of what research in both German and Russian sources can accomplish for critical topics in modern history." - Michael
David-Fox, University of Maryland, Journal of Modern History"...fascinating, meticulously researched, and highly detailed new study...Kellog has not only made a valuable contribution to the early history of the Nazi Party, but also points the way to further research in newly accessible post-Soviet archives on the Nazi's Russian connections." -Roderick Stackelberg, Gonzaga University,American Historical Review This book analyses the political, financial, military, and ideological contributions of many 'White émigrés', anti-Bolshevik Russian exiles, to Nazism. It demonstrates that Nazism did not develop as a peculiarly German phenomenon and examines Aufbau (Reconstruction), a far right German-White émigré organization which collaborated with Nazis from 1920-1923.

Several months after the Twitter page started, the Trump campaign asked if Fournier would be willing to create a larger coalition.
He agreed and enlisted co-founder John Lambert, a junior at Campbell, to help. The organization – which is in contact with the Trump campaign but not directly affiliated with it – now has more than 250 chapters and 5,000 volunteers nationwide, according to a running count on its website. The number of applications for its campus ambassador program is growing every day, Fournier said. “We’re overflowing with applications,” Fournier, 20, said. “People are just so motivated. We’ve motivated a lot of students to get out there and be a part of this election, this campaign cycle, since it’s so historic.” As the organization has expanded, so has its Twitter presence. The account now has 37,500 followers and more than 2,000 tweets. The Students for Hillary Twitter page has just over 7,000 followers. Fournier said much of the outreach Students for Trump does in the state, and nationally, is through social media. “It’s one of our biggest aspects right now,” Fournier said.
“We get probably close to 4 million impressions per month. I don’t even think the College Republican National Committee gets that.”An average of recent polls by RealClearPolitics shows Republican nominee Trump and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton deadlocked in North Carolina, with Trump at 44 percent of the vote and Clinton trailing by less than half a percentage point. Both candidates have focused on courting North Carolina’s millennials. The youth vote helped President Barack Obama win the state in 2008. Trump campaigned at High Point University last week, and Clinton held a rally at Wake Technical Community College in Raleigh on Tuesday, two weeks after campaigning at UNC Greensboro. Clinton’s North Carolina campaign noted it has organizers and volunteers in communities and on college campuses across the state registering North Carolinians to vote. “We expect a record number of North Carolina voters of all ages and backgrounds to cast their ballots early,” said Andrew Estrada, Clinton’s North Carolina press secretary.
“We continue to work so they have access to convenient early hours and locations to make their voices heard in this critical election.” Fournier predicts the race in the state won’t be close.“North Carolina is going to come in with a strong win here,” he said, noting that the predictions his organization makes “aren’t really what you would see on the news.”North Carolina is one of the states where the youth vote could have the biggest impact in the country, says Kei Kawashima-Ginsberg, director of The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University. In February, CIRCLE listed the state as one of 10 where millennials could “sway the election” – and Kawashima-Ginsberg said young people have even “more leverage” now that a law that eliminated same-day registration, required voters to have photo ID and reduced the early-voting period has been struck down as unconstitutional. He’s a controversial character whether you love him or hate him.
Hayden Vick, chairman of College Republicans at UNC-Chapel HillYoung voters in North Carolina tend to vote differently than their older, conservative counterparts, she said, adding that in this election even conservative-leaning young people might choose not to support the controversial Republican nominee.She pointed out that a CBS survey conducted Aug. 30 through Sept. 2 showed that 57 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds in the state said they would vote for Clinton if the election were being held today; 19 percent said they would vote for Trump.The last time there was such a large divide was in 2008, when young people voted for Obama over Republican Sen. John McCain by a 2-to-1 ratio, she added. Fournier, 20, was born in Longbranch, N.J., but his family moved when he was young to Chapel Hill and then Clayton. He said his family is conservative and that he’s always identified as a Republican – which he said made Campbell a natural fit. “Choosing Campbell University was easy,” Fournier said.
“It’s close to home, and it’s the 25th most conservative school in the country.”He said he was “candidate shopping” before the primaries began, and was particularly interested in Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, but was drawn to Trump’s positions on immigration, the Second Amendment and trade, which he said convinced him Trump was the best candidate for the job. For the last year, he’s been a dedicated supporter – spending between five and six hours a day on Students for Trump on average, much of which he says is spent promoting the candidate on social media.He said he’s spoken to Trump directly on “three or maybe four occasions” and described him as a “great guy, very humble.”“He loves to get information from students on how we think he should work or do something different in a certain state,” Fournier said. Support for Trump among young Republicans on college campuses in the Triangle varies among universities. At Duke, where Fournier confirmed Students for Trump has no representatives, the College Republicans club decided to “abstain” from endorsing the Republican nominee.
Madison Laton, a sophomore and the vice chair of the club, said the executive board voted on whether to endorse, “and not endorsing Trump won.”Laton, a political science major from Georgia, explained that the club decided against issuing a statement against Trump, like College Republicans at Harvard University did. At N.C. State, where Fournier said Students for Trump has a “big presence,” the College Republicans never considered not supporting the nominee, said the club’s president, Sean Harrington, a junior political science major from Massachusetts. “We back our nominee,” Harrington said. “It’s kind of as simple as that.”Harrington said that after the primaries ended, it was time for the party to come together. “Those who might have an issue or two with Donald Trump have remained fairly quiet about it,” Harrington said. “They’re not trying to pull any of the stunts that the Harvard College Republicans did. They realize that kind of denouncement is damaging to the party and damaging to all candidates up and down the ticket.”
