I got this from the thanks you's in Hawk Nelson's CD Smile It's the End of the World I could never know how to love if I didn't know heartache first I'd never know the value of life without the pain of death I couldn't appreciate peace of it weren't for suffering I would never be healed if I wasn't broken to begin with I don't know if I could ever give enough thanks and credit for all that I have God this is all Yours again --Daniel Biro

March 23rd: Hangin with the Fam - 3-23.jpg

This was a typical scene this was the daughter (32 years old) her bedroom which also doubled as the computer room and the family room It is just really crazy to see how different the way they live is It is so much simpler and much more based upon togetherness and family oriented Definitely cool although it would be really insane to live with your parents until you're 32 I am definitely not saying I would want that but just the way they used their space and really made the most out of the space they had available to them And honestly sometimes they might feel like they want to have more room but this is all they really needed it works Kind of like when I think about the place we will live someday or the places I guess wherever God wants us we will be But really-I hope that we can have what we NEED and that that will be enough that will be good enough I hope God helps us to see really what that is

Taka peered into the darkened room Himeko Aren't you supposed to be going out with Katon-san and Akina-san No response Stepping inside the gloom his black eyes registered a rather large lump on the bed Sighing he padded over and knelt lightly at the side of the bed Himeko was long gone and Taka was smart enough to know it was nigh on impossible to wake her up when she was in that deep of a sleep oh well he'd just have to go tell Katon and Akina something or maybe he could just slide on behind there and get a good night's sleep that option seemed very appealing

My son what can I say he looks like me I know his uncle that raised him gave him the best home he could and loves him so much I wished I could've done that but God had to work on my heart and I had to change my life and its been hard to learn the precise lives I missed out on an that no money could buy it back I learned that changing wasnt enough to get back my children I learned to let someone love what I couldnt I am blessed to have spoken and hugged my beautiful son and I pray that your life will be blessed more than all our lives becouse I know your heart is delicate as mine But rise up my warrior you too will be heard Just look into the mirror God loves you to have given you a better life than what I could have I know this to be true

This shows the Jacuzzi part of the tub On the first day my wife informed me she was going to take a Jacuzzi so I sat down to read and off she went A little bit later I heard the Jacuzzi come on and then I heard her cry for help When I looked up towards the bathroom I could see water flying out of the door into the hall I swear to God it was like something out of I Love Lucy I ran in and shut down the Jacuzzi for my wife It seems she did not have enough water over the jets and they sprayed everything down pretty good I laughed till I cried

Altar - angels.jpg

They tell me that love is more powerful than death They tell me that one sin--one single sin on my immortal soul--will deny me of Heaven forever but God forgives the sins of those who love much But I'm not sure if I know how to love I don't know if I can love what I cannot see or feel or hear I am not strong enough Why do I witness everyone else's love for God but I cannot summon my own I kneel and I pray and I try to feel something--something--that lets me know that my life might have one grain of goodness to it nnGod is something and everything He is not a bearded white man in the sky but a presence everywhere and nowhere and if that's the case whynnLoving I suppose comes with time and patience and practice and maybe some day I'll decide that I'm grateful for my precious precious friends and family and I'll give the beat of my heart and the blood in my veins to the God that lives in everything alive Because by then I'll love Because by then I'll know

phee - justphee_rollanhills_.jpg

this is phee she's an installment in the story i'm working on hope to release details on it soon but dunno how ready i am to share them xD n nphee lives in a town called Aoueden which is my bastardization of the scottish gaelic name Aodhan which means fiery which makes sense i guess since basically everyone who comes from her town has a temper especially her childhood best friend and neighbor fenthwick who's the main character of the story Phee is a huldu In my story the huldu are mythical folk that live in the woods Legend says that they came into existence when God came to visit the house of a woman She was washing her children but didnt have enough time to wash all of them so she washed half her children and hid away the dirty ones When God arrived he declared that as she had hid half of her children from him so shall they be hidden from mankind as well Thus the Huldu meaning hidden were born They have markings on their faces that resemble dirt and tear duct residue Females have one horn and males have two Some huldu display animal characteristics such as a tail and ears When they entwine their fingers and cross their legs they turn into trees to hide from humans A while ago they became known to man but only a few live alongside humans the rest supposedly died in a forest fire (plot fire)

Shaded shot pensive - 8eb7f813.jpg

So just digging up some examples herewith my back-up cam taking the type of candid portrait shots folks typically enjoy of their kidwhich is a typical example of a shot where the G is at its limit and just barely able to keep up with the light requirements In all these shots I had the aperture cranked open as much as it could go for the given zoomnnYou have an example of a good shot here nnnShot in the shade--not an extremely low-light situation but enough to make it a challenge to get the shot you want I wanted to keep the low ISO 80 quality to avoid noise in the shot softening the texture I wanted to avoid flash to keep the lighting natural I wanted to frame the shot close so you're really studying his expressionnnTo pull this shot off with the G I was forced to a shutterspeed no faster than 110th of a second That's slow This is a pretty calm pensive shot so I was able to catch it exactly well I was lucky Actually I wasn't lucky I was god damn persistent I blew away like 10 useless shots to get this one 110th of a secondthis wouldn't have been possible before image stabilizationnnSuccess Yay It only took 10 tries

INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PRAYER - IHOP.jpg

Even though the concept behind this movement is an excellent onepeople meeting for prayer 247 the 'spirit' behind this movement is in question because of some of the behavior manifestations you will observe as npeople gather together to pray I ask that you please pray ask God for discernment keep these Scriptures in mind as you watchBut the fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-control Galatians 5:2223 Dear friends do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God because many false prophets have gone out into the world 1 John 4:1 nOnly good message I found was below but keep in mind that when people are being deceived there is just enough truth present in a message so that it's easily accepted but before you know it many become deceived if the message is not examined and tested in the light of Scripture Acts 17:11 1 Thess 5:2122 nGood message still with some concerns here but observe the lack of 'self'control' in many of the people presentjerking spasmodic behavior loud outbursts etchttp:wwwyoutubecomwatchvHG46Eze9ckc nWarning unbiblicalpagan practices messages etc here nhttp:wwwyoutubecomwatchvukG5eIS3O2ofeaturerelated nhttp:wwwyoutubecomwatchv9M3Ju2RTjvwfeaturePlayListpFC74EC1E1A68F5FBindex5 nhttp:wwwyoutubecomwatchvukG5eIS3O2ofeaturerelated nhttp:wwwyoutubecomwatchvrI6xxreFjW0featurerelated

In this fifth and final dream I saw the Ancients in the heavens dancing around the earth in a ceremonial way The flute player was playing his flute Spider Woman was also in this scene I have drawn a dreamcatcher to represent her since I cannot yet draw well enough to show her as I saw her She appeared to be destroying her web which had the earth entangled within it I asked what she was doing and was told A Great Shaking was in progress upon the earth and would continue for a while and that Spider Woman was Not destroying her web she was unraveling it to shake it out to cleanse it and when she was done she would reweave it I asked who the others were and what were they doing They are Dream Walkers was the reply He told me more but I no longer recall it I recognize the Flute player as Kokopeli which I believe is Hopi or Navajo(or both) My knowledge is a bit rusty but these appear to be Kachinas They all have some significance though I am not sure the three I've seen and illustrated here are even a part of the many Kachinas I only recognize Kokopeli The others I do not recognize other than from seeing them many times in dreamtime So I'm assuming they are real Kachinas The main message in these recurring dreams which are connected to other dreams is basically the same: Something is coming and it is global and we must prepare ourselves Whatever it is will be difficult for us all we must look within and seek the knowledge of God's will for our lives and once known to ask humbly for the power to carry it out For any reading this I want to say my use of the name God is based on my own personal belief and my hope is that you will not disregard the message because of what I believe I do understand that your idea of God may be vastly different from mine My hope is that you will seek whatever you need in whatever manner you are accustomed to prepare yourself for what is coming In other words find your center We are all in this togethernCANDLESWHEELSnmc

Thank God I have true friends like you - jelai3.jpg

So often we seem to keep our deepest feelings and emotions locked within us Perhaps this is because we feel awkward and not used to with the expression of their intensity But with our true friends everything is acceptable- even our awkwardness our downfalls our kabaduyans and everything And it is by the expression of our feelings that we confirm and honor those who have given substance and meaning to our lives n nI have travelled through many places and timelearned a lot of thingsdiscovered many mysteriesmet different faces and masksthough neither of them revealed the unfeigned and whole-souled reflection of my true friendsYes I am very lucky and fortunate of having the richness of life - the richness who fills up my emptiness whenever Im so downthe richness that cheers me up during my ups and downsthe richness that dries my tears whenever I crythe richness that touches my heart in different ways the richness that embraces the beauty and ugly things in me I could proudly say that I am very rich I am rich for I have friends during my journey in life who didn't leave me all aloneeven life is a raceone didn't run fast ahead of me but rather runs after memaking sure that somebody's at my back to catch me if I fall or if I miss one step on the roadMOre than my three lovely children Stephanie Erlin and Martin my friends are additional buddies who love me throughout all the seasons of lifeit is through them where I get enough strength when I feel dispirited and debilitatedand for that I really thank the Lord for these wonderful person who joined me in my travel of life n nTo you my dearest friend ANAK JELAI - - so close are we to one another so much do we shareand yet I've never said the words that say how much I care But my shyness cannot hide the heart from my eyes that see clear through so though I'm sure you know I'll say: My friend I cherish and I love you sothanks for being a true friend to me:)

I am naturally or nurturely (artistic license) introspective so believe it or not I spent days on this one blog post trying to find a way to sum myself up while trying not to sound like a guy with his eyebrow raised A heavy sense of ending came to mind Am I to describe myself as if Im done or pick apart the road I took to get here Should I measure my accomplishments dreams and failures or parade my family and network as proof of my worth My first instinct was to answer this whole post with the simple sentence I am Although it is true and honest on so many levels I cant help but feel that particular wordage is a little too vague and assuming I would also be lying if I where to pretend that the difference between who I am and what I do isnt important to me n nMy solution to my description problem was found by seeking the two people who I believe understand me the most First my friend who is also named Chris and has known me for the better part of 15 years contributed this he called me the most sincere person he has ever met Im quite proud of that description because I live my life to speak from the deepest truth I believe The second person is my wife of 10 years who has seen me in more moods situations and perspectives than anyone save God and my mom She was nice enough to make an About me when I was advertising my music on a myspace page I hope to post it on my official blog opening day but if not this will have to do until she can relocate it

That description is disgusting You failed to mention anything of the girl's supposed feelingsnnHow do you think she felt seeing those 'friends' she made over the years in that fortress die in front of her eyes when only luck saved her Seeing the few survivors march on following this unbelievably strong man seeing one after another fall victim to beasts and nature both Imagine how she must have felt hearing that child's cries and screams for help as he slowly drowned imagine seeing her comrades fall until the only ones left were the two strengthened by hardship nnShe must have thought he had done all that to find a successor Or maybe he was going to teach them the secret to his strength but needed only the strong to teach it to That was what those experiences were all leading up to Those were just trails to show him they were worthy Only the two of them had made it but they had finally reached the endnnImagine how she felt when she saw her Brother in Arms beaten by this man with the skull of a demon The other child who she fought tooth and nail with killed in front of her eyes by this teacher Was his strength really worth it if it cost her the only person she could really call a friend an ally nnImagine the tears streaming down her face when she realized all those trials didn't help her grow stronger that she was still in the end just a little girl pounding her fists on the man's back in protest All the death she had witnessed all the blood that had soaked her clothing none of it had changed her in the leastnnThink of how she felt when he raped her What pain she must have been in when she felt her very body begin to split in two Could she have even been able to produce a scream loud enough to embody such pain nnAs a sadist I must tell you that you really do him no honor by focusing on only what is written

(And verily if you ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth'' Surely they will say: Allah'') means the idolators used to recognize that Allah was the Creator of all things but despite that they still worshipped others besides Him others who had no power to bring benefit or cause harm Allah said: (Say: Tell me then the things that you invoke besides Allah -- if Allah intended some harm for me could they remove His harm Or if He (Allah) intended some mercy for me could they withhold His mercy'') meaning they cannot do any of that at all Here Ibn Abi Hatim recorded a narration from Ibn Abbas may Allah be pleased with him attributing it to the Prophet : (Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you be mindful of Allah and you will find Him ever with you Turn to Allah in times of ease and He will turn to you in times of difficulty If you ask anyone for anything then ask Allah if you seek help from anyone then seek help from Allah Know that even if the entire nation were to come together to do you some harm that Allah has not decreed for you they will never be able to harm you and if they were to come together to do you some good that Allah has not decreed for you they will never be able to do that The pages have dried and the pens have been lifted Strive for the sake of Allah with thankfulness and firm conviction and know that in patiently persevering with regard to something that you dislike there is much goodness Victory comes with patience a way out comes from difficulty and with hardship comes ease) (Say: Sufficient for me is Allah'') means Allah is enough for me' (In Him I put my trust and let all those that trust put their trust in Him) 12: 67 This is like what Hud peace be upon him said to his people:

You know I joined the army thinking I was going to be the good guy I wanted to be Gabriel I wanted to blow my horn at any sign of evil's shadow and rip down the thorny walls of tyranny I wanted to illuminate the world and let them know they are safe I wanted to lead the oppressed down the path of righteousness and self sacrifice to show them a world that they would never imagine Well I guess in a way I got my wish Now the places we leave are illuminated by the fires we left We were told there were rebels in the town so we had no choice but to burn it down We certainly tore down their walls but there were no cheers and trumpets to signal our victory There were moans and gun shots and the broken sadness of lone children So we take them in hand down the road Intelligence says they might be suicide bombers I look at one of the kids hands I'm holding I just killed his mother and his father and now I'm told to kill him as well He doesn't look like a suicide bomber But we are told by our leader and our God to protect the weak and innocent and if this boy has wasps in his heart we have to send them out the only way you can clear out a hive with smoke and fireWe lead them all down the trail in silence We called ourselves angels but I saw no wings Where we walked we left hoof prints and ashes where we trampled threats and sent them to hell with napalm and keroseneWe're each rationed a certain portion of water while on vacation here I'm not thirsty but I convince myself of any reason I can to keep my water to myself And even though their tongues swell and choke their throats and their eyes cry blood I offer no charity to the impureThe boy is dying Better here than there We stole the nickname The Killing Fields to where we do our cleansing These people's names will never be known unless there is a man out there that speaks the tongue of ash Those who die along the way are loaded into a wagon and carried to the fields And those that make it dig their own graves bathes rather of gasoline We command them all to sit in this troth of potential fire and we say a prayer for their souls We tell them that everything will be alright and for the moment before the match hits they believe us Death settles in their eyes like a tired child and their souls can be seen leaving if you look hard enough Death is not that moment when the heart stops beating Death comes before your body goes when peace settles in your heart before flame settles in your lung When they scream they are already dead for their soul has already left but their hearts bellow on in sadness that they cannot comeI used to think that we were doing the wrong thing so I stopped thinking Now we are angles of peace And when I look back I can see naked crows coming to collect our feathers Sometimes I think they may be the souls of the men women and children we killed They follow us and sing us songs They caw for the morning light the glowing moon and when we send mortars over the hill They sing for our cause and dress themselves from our broken wings They tend to their dead and pick up what's left after their souls to take their bodies to the afterlifeThe child is dead now and for a second my throat chokes up I have delivered more souls to God than the Catholic church and I am one hundred percent efficient In death the child is pure His evil has left him and as I lower his body to the long road home just outside the killing fields I give his pale lips a sip of water It runs down the corner of his lip mixing with dust and blood carrying with it all of the unspoken words of the painful lessons of age With closed eyes I toss the boy into the pit and grasp my rosary tightly As the fire warms my face I remember what we are fighting for we are illuminating the world with reason peace and gasolineAngels often hide in the shadow of fire for they know not that they burn They smell the charring of flesh and see the bodies about their feet and think that they triumph where others fail But they too burn by the same flame they cherish screaming the words they forged from a mute God damming the fire they fueled But when the flame settles and the last feather hits the ground the world learns that even angels burn-Forrest Gordon

The universe hierarchy levels found in The Book Of AbrahamnIn the previous paper I have proposed how the records for the variable measurements of big G can be used to show the actual hierarchical system of our universe It is quite a simple system being made up of multiple levels of astronomical bodies revolving about central massive energetic bodies Summarising the Earth spins around the sun the solar system spins around the centre of our galaxy Sagittarius A our galaxy spins around a yet unknown centre of galaxies and this centre of galaxies spins around the central core of the universe I have numbered these levels Macrospin level 1 to 5 Only 4 spin levels (1 to 4) have a central core orbiting another level Level 5 has a unique body the core of the universe the centre of all existence which spins about its own axis Surprisingly enough we found mention of such a system in documents dating back to 509BC which were apparently copies of originals which had been passed over from the days of Abraham living at about 2000BC Not only were these astronomical bodies mentioned but also named with some details about their periodicity and energy levelsnnIn July 1835 an Irishman named Michael Chandler brought a traveling exhibition of four Egyptian mummies and papyri to Kirtland Ohio then home of the Mormons The papyri contained Egyptian hieroglyphics Joseph Smith Jr the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement examined the scrolls in the exhibit and noted that some of the text was recognizable because of its similarity to the text from the golden plates of the Book of Mormon The church purchased the four mummies and the papyri for 2400 The Joseph Smith Papyri have been now determined to be from the late Ptolemaic or early Roman period 753-509BC which is at least 1500 years after Abrahamacircs lifetime Apologists respond that the papyri need only be copies of the original written by Abraham and also claim that there exist some Egyptian scrolls from the same time period that clearly contain the name of Abraham The Book of Abraham is the translated text from these acquired papyri published as part of the Pearl of Great Price one of the four canonical scriptures of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints The church has never to our knowledge taken any action on this work either to indorse or condemn so it cannot be said to be a church publication nor can the church be held to answer for the correctness of its teaching nnA full copy of the Book Of Abraham is available here nThe 4 beasts with eyes (lights) and wings (motion) each in its sphere of creation represent the 4 central cores found in the centre of hierarchy levels 1 to 4 Unlike the other cores of which a plurality of them can exist Kolob is unique and usually described as the residence of God Unlike the other 4 cores it is a single star whose motion is described as revolutions that is spinning about its own axis not orbiting around any other core The fourth beast is Earth's spinning core It does not require much imagination to conclude that as our earth expands (we have enough evidence for this) and therefore gets heavier its core will radiate more energy its continents will move apart and the melted iron core will divour all the land into hot molten metal matching Daniel's description for the fourth beast With all this information I can now refine the details set forward in my previous paper as shown below nnnModern astronomy will agree with this model up to the Sagittarius A level Beyond this hierarchy level no one knows anything even if most researchers would agree that they cannot exclude the possibility of the existence of higher hierarchy levels and that the highest known level could in fact be rotating about some yet unknown centre of the universe Also another interesting fact is the mentioning of the energy medium for each hierarchy level Today we call this in a generalised way by 'vacuum' but as described in many parts of my website this vacuum is also known to be made up of energy itself It is therefore obvious that the vacuum energy or zero point energy or the ratio of TS for each hierarchy level is different for each level that is for each level referred to as spheres of creation and this supports my point that all known physical parameters which I showed to be based on ratios of T and S vary with their position on the universe One must stop and think how our modern astronomy and the whole science would change once we accept the fact that the speed of light changes quite abruptly while passing from one hierarchy level to the next We are like fish viewing the outside world from under water Not only the speed of light but all physical constants we are used to know as 'constants of free space' nhttp:blazelabscomf-u-freeasp

Bailey Girls 4 Life - 1407150961_l.jpg

There comes a time in your life when you finally get it When in the midst of all your fears and insanity you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out ENOUGH Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on And like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum your sobs begin to subside you shudder once or twice you blink back your tears and through a mantle of wet lashes you begin to look at the world from a new perspectivennThis is your awakeningnn You realize that it is time to stop hoping and waiting for something or someone to change or for happiness safety and security to come galloping over the next horizon You come to terms with the fact that there aren't always fairytale endings (or beginnings for that matter) and that any guarantee of happily ever after must begin with you Then a sense of serenity is born of acceptancenn So you begin making your way through the reality of today rather than holding out for the promise of tomorrow You realize that much of who you are and the way you navigate through life is in great part a result of all the social conditioning you've received over the course of a lifetime And you begin to sift through all the nonsense you were taught about :nn - how you should look and how much you should weighn - what you should wear and where you should shopn - where you should live or what type of car you should driven - who you should sleep with and how you should behaven - who you should marry and why you should stayn - the importance of bearing children or what you owe your familynn Slowly you begin to open up to new worlds and different points of view And you begin re-assessing and re-defining who you are and what you really believe in And you begin to discard the doctrines you have outgrown or should never have practiced to begin withnn You accept the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will love appreciate or approve of who or what you are and that's OK they are entitled to their own views and opinions And you come to terms with the fact that you will never be a size 5 or a perfect 10 Or a perfect human being for that matter and you stop trying to compete with the image inside your head or agonizing over how you compare And you take a long look at yourself in the mirror and you make a promise to give yourself the same unconditional love and support you give so freely to others Then a sense of confidence is born of self-approvalnn And you stop maneuvering through life merely as a consumer hungry for your next fix a new dress another pair of shoes or looks of approval and admiration from family friends or even strangers who pass by Then you discover that it is truly in giving that we receive and that the joy and abundance you seek grows out of the giving And you recognize the importance of creating and contributing rather than obtaining and accumulatingnn And you give thanks for the simple things you've been blessed with things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about - a full refrigerator clean running water a soft warm bed the freedom of choice and the opportunity to pursue your own dreamsnn And you begin to love and to care for yourself You stop engaging in self-destructive behaviors including participating in dysfunctional relationships You begin eating a balanced diet drinking more water and exercising And because you've learned that fatigue drains the spirit and creates doubt and fear you give yourself permission to rest And just as food is fuel for the body laughter is fuel for the spirit and so you make it a point to create time for playnn Then you learn about love and relationships - how to love how much to give in love when to stop giving and when to walk away And you allow only the hands of a lover who truly loves and respects you to glorify you with his touch You learn that people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say intentionally or unintentionally and that not everyone will always come through and interestingly enough it's not always about you So you stop lashing out and pointing fingers or looking to place blame for the things that were done to you or weren't done for you And you learn to keep your Ego in check and to acknowledge and redirect the destructive emotions it spawns - anger jealousy and resentmentnn You learn how to say I was wrong and to forgive people for their own human frailties You learn to build bridges instead of walls and about the healing power of love as it is expressed through a kind word a warm smile or a friendly gesture And at the same time you eliminate any relationships that are hurtful or fail to uplift and edify you You stop working so hard at smoothing things over and setting your needs aside You learn that feelings of entitlement are perfectly OK and that it is your right to want or expect certain things And you learn the importance of communicating your needs with confidence and grace You learn that the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that eventually martyrs are burned at the stake Then you learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to Say NO You learn that you don't know all the answers it's not your job to save the world and that sometimes you just need to Let Gonn Moreover you learn to look at people as they really are and not as you would want them to be and you are careful not to project your neediness or insecurities onto a relationship You learn that you will not be more beautiful more intelligent more lovable or important because of the man on your arm or the child that bears your name You learn that just as people grow and change so it is with love and relationships and that that not everyone can always love you the way you would want them to So you stop appraising your worth by the measure of love you are given And suddenly you realize that it's wrong to demand that someone live their life or sacrifice their dreams just to serve your needs ease your insecurities or meet your standards and expectations You learn that the only love worth giving and receiving is the love that is given freely without conditions or limitations And you learn what it means to love So you stop trying to control people situations and outcomes You learn that alone does not mean lonely and you begin to discover the joy of spending time with yourself and on yourself Then you discover the greatest and most fulfilling love you will ever know - Self Love And so it comes to pass that through understanding your heart heals and now all new things are possiblenn Moving along you begin to avoid Toxic people and conversations And you stop wasting time and energy rehashing your situation with family and friends You learn that talk doesn't change things and that unrequited wishes can only serve to keep you trapped in the past So you stop lamenting over what could or should have been and you make a decision to leave the past behind Then you begin to invest your time and energy to affect positive change You take a personal inventory of all your strengths and weaknesses and the areas you need to improve in order to move ahead you set your goals and map out a plan of action to see things throughnn You learn that life isn't always fair and you don't always get what you think you deserve and you stop personalizing every loss or disappointment You learn to accept that sometimes bad things happen to good people and that these things are not an act of God but merely a random act of fatenn And you stop looking for guarantees because you've learned that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected and that whatever happens you'll learn to deal with it And you learn that the only thing you must truly fear is the great robber baron of all time - FEAR itself So you learn to step right into and through your fears because to give into fear is to give away the right to live life on your terms You learn that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophesy and you learn to go after what you want and not to squander your life living under a cloud of indecision or feelings of impending doomnn Then YOU LEARN ABOUT MONEY the personal power and independence it brings and the options it creates And you recognize the necessity to create your own personal wealth Slowly you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never ever settle for less than your heart's desire And a sense of power is born of self-reliance And you live with honor and integrity because you know that these principles are not the outdated ideals of a by-gone era but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build your life And you make it a point to keep smiling to keep trusting and to stay open to every wonderful opportunity and exciting possibility Then you hang a wind chime outside your window to remind yourself what beauty there is in Simplicitynn Finally with courage in your heart and with God by your side you take a stand you FAKE a deep breath and you begin to design the life you want to live as best as you cannn A word about the Power of Prayer: In some of my darkest most painful and frightening hours I have prayed not for the answers to my prayers or for material things but for my God to help me find the strength confidence and courage to persevere to face each day and to do what I must donn Remember this:- You are an expression of the almighty The spirit of God resides within you and moves through you Open your heart speak to that spirit and it will heal and empower youn My God has never failed mennnAfter a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soulnnAnd you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean securitynnAnd you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promisesnnAnd you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of an adult not the grief of a childnnAnd you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight nnAfter a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too muchnnSo you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to leave you flowersnnAnd you learn that you really can endurenYou really are strong you really do have worthnAnd you learn and you learnnWith every goodbye you learnnnThis is the intro to the many thoughts of my life My many trials and tribulations have been ongoing lessons I have not yet learned I have became that child that you keep having to say stop to over and over I have not yet got the point These trials

given me so much love and that love has taken me to the number 1 position where I am today the only thing I can do for my fans is to never stop working and to do films till the very end it is the only way I can express my love for them n nTo me Devdas is the end of love stories I've portrayed an obsessed lover a nice lover an angry lover a romantic lover And now I've played Devdas For someone who doesn't even like love stories I've played an awful lot of lovers Personally speaking I wouldn't see any of the romantic films I've acted in n nI'm the luckiest man in the world and I don't want to hide from the faces I'm acting for So I don't surround myself with guards I've never given an interview in which I've said I feel bad that I can't go shopping or I can't go to Chowpatty and eat bhelpuri without being mobbed I'm not the kind of guy who goes out wearing dark glasses (I don't think I'm a big enough star to hide behind them honest) I go to see movies in the cinema theatres I go to restaurants with my family and friends even though I know people are going to disturb me there n nGod has become a generic term like mind blowing' It is embarrassing I would have said that to Amitabh Bachchan Naseeruddin Shah Nana Patekar I used to tell them I want to stand in the same space as you I've told Kamal Haasan I just want to touch you They are the gods of acting When people call me God I say no I'm still an angel or saint of acting I still have a long way to go n n(August 2004): Awards that ignore me are losers n n(August 2004): I'm try-sexual I try anything that's sexual n n(August 2004): I have no competition Every year the names I'm pitted against keep changing You can't cream the competition you have to kill it n nI keep hearing that our films are escapist and unreal but I find our films the most real in the world We don't have people going up in a rocket and single-handedly blowing up a meteor We don't have a president on Air Force One saving the world or things coming out of people's stomachs Our fantasies and escapism are real It's just people singing and dancing in the street If England had won the World Cup you would have seen people singing and dancing like that n nI don't like wearing dark glasses I'm happy with the fact that people know me I want people to scream and shout at me I want people to trouble me when I'm having lunch I like six bodyguards around me I love being a star I find it very strange when people who are famous say they don't want to be photographed I don't want to be photographed first thing in the morning I don't want people peeping into my bedroom but besides that it's a wonderful life n nI haven't given up smoking I'm very clear about it it's a personal choice I want to cut down on it It shouldn't be made into an issue to say damn good or damn bad Whether I give it up or not shouldn't be an issue (Movie Mag May 2006) n nI was supposed to have done Rang De Basanti (2006) the guy on the motorbike I didn't have the dates They were shooting in Delhi and the dates were clashing with Paheli (Movie Mag May 2006) n nIt's not like Steven Spielberg is waiting with a script for me I don't think I'll ever be offered a great international film in my lifetime so I'd rather be a king here Moreover Indian cinema is the greatest in the world But of course after spending three months in LA London and New York I found that our cinema is a little exaggerated To make a mark in the West we have to reach their level without losing our identity culture or songs I don't want to star in a Hollywood film but want to make a film that crosses over universally (Movie Mag May 2006) n nOn trying to get Paheli (2005) an Oscar nomination: There's a misreport here about our lobbying at the Oscars The understanding that we have of the Oscars is very different from how it really is Because Indian film foreign films are not known you're supposed to hire a PR company which we did It's not as if you just go there show your films lobby and talk to them You're not allowed to lobby as in you're not allowed to meet the Academy members talk to them or even make a call to them You just keep advertising in the 'For Consideration For Oscars' category We took out full page ads in papers like Variety and Hollywood Reporter The only good thing we did was that we advertised very frequently it was promoted on the same scale as the biggest of films We did it because we could afford it (Movie Mag May 2006) n nI felt Asoka (2001) should have been chosen for the Oscars We had worked towards that We had these international distributors for it We were the first to actually release an Indian film internationally in traditionally non-Indian theaters We spent a lot of money and lost a lot of money too We were the first to put up boardings in London in tube stations We did speak to everyone who was anyone here wondering if Asoka could go to the Oscars But the one that got chosen was Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India (2001) which was even better So we had no complaints After that I didn't make any film for the foreign market (Movie Mag May 2006) n n n nWhere Are They Now n(September 2004) He is doing

Park West Gallery Artist David Nagar - 28aa.jpg

Park West Gallery artist David Najar attends the 40th Anniversary Gala Event in Detroit Michigan in August 2008 nGrowing up in a traditional Sephardic family in Netanya art had no place innDavid Najars childhood In my family there was no such thing as an artistnor painter The closest thing to a painting we had at home was a tapestrynThough his public school teachers were impressed by his artistic skill hisnfellow classmates mocked him The young David understood that it wasnbest to give up painting and join the boys on the soccer field Sportsnbecame the center of his life When he was older David started workingnout at a center for Krav Maga (an Israeli hand-to-hand combat method) innNetanya The center was opened by Imi Sde-Or the legendary Israeli figurenwho developed the defense method When Najar met Imi a special bondnimmediately formed between the two despite the 50-year age differencenbetween them Krav Maga is based on various techniques in judo karatenju-jitsu boxing and other martial arts The method was adopted andndeveloped by the Israeli Defense Forces and later by special combat forcesnaround the world Imi started developing the method back in Europe as anway to fight the Nazi gangs that attacked him and his friends during hisnyouth in Slovenia When he immigrated to Israel he was invited by YitzhaknSadeh (an Israeli military leader and one of the founders of the IDF) tonteach the method to the Hagana defense forces Now working with thenarmy Imi continued to develop the method until he retired to open a KravnMaga center in Netanya After training intensively Najar became a coachnand soon one of the leading figures in the field I used to meet Imi at hisncaf in Netanya Najar relates He had a special table there where hednreceive his guests People from all over the world came to meet him henknew everyone who trained in his method We would talk about everythingnabout Krav Maga life God and girls Imi always told me that Id getninvolved with a lot of things I wasnt aware of yet but I didnt really paynattention Najar says smiling while he serves Turkish coffeennWere sitting in Najars studio in south Tel Aviv Its raining outside andntheres a chill in the air Najar smiles shyly Even with his success and salesnin the United States he still has a hard time believing that hes managingnto make a living from painting For years I did Krav Maga and made a livingnfrom it My friends were accountants and engineers and suddenlynI became a painter People were shocked My friends and family said it wasnnonsense a passing phase But it didnt passnIt all started with a visit to the museum I saw a painting by Renoir and Insaid to myself I have to learn how to do that He signed up for a paintingncourse in Ramat Aviv Most of the other students were retirees and Najarnwith his wide and muscular shoulders was without a doubt an attraction innthe class I bought paints and started ruining canvases Najar saysnBy day I taught Krav Maga and by night I painted In the beginning Inwould paint all night in our tiny spare room but when we had a baby henstarted taking over the room I moved to the living room My wife said I wasnmessing up the house and that the piant smell was unbearable But Incouldnt stop I would get up in the middle of the night to paintnNajar wanted to paint all day and make a living from his art but all thenartists he knew seemed to be struggling financially That wasnt what Inwanted David says I wanted to live a normal life One day his teacherninvited him to participate in an exhibition I got really positive feedbacknand lots of complements but someone also came up and askednto buy a painting I name a price that at the time seemed astronomical tonme and he agreed And the rest is history David sells his paintingsnmostly in the United States He doesnt need to wake up in the middle ofnthe night to paint in the living room anymore He has a studio in south TelnAviv where he paints The decision to rent a studio and bena full time painter wasnt easy There were a lot of things he was unsurenabout I understood that to make it you cant just be a weekend painternand I had a lot of concerns Najar says Luckily he met a painter thatnhelped him I trained him at the gym and he trained me at paintingnAfter Id finish a painting I couldnt help myself Id run to show it tonhim I wanted to hear what he thought how I could improve He alwaysnhad the patience to talk to me and he always supported me Wed work outnwith the painting in the background Hed critique my painting and Idncritique his moves Najar smiles and offers me another coffee Itsnpouring outside now but his studio is full of canvases with springnblossoms Theyre waiting to be sent to the US I love nature he saysnglancing over his paintings I like to paint nature I travel a lot to seenflowers blooming to the sea I have to be in contact with nature But thentruth is you dont have to go far We can be in contact with nature all thentime Its enough to just look out the window Theres nothing ugly innnature The only ugliness is in places that have been touched by mansnhand People seek harmony Nature has amazing colors and harmony allnyou need to do is look Sometimes people dont know how to looknsideways I think people need to learn to take a break to see the beautynaround them I say stop for a moment and look Especially in thisncountry with things as they are its healthy to stop a moment I think mynpaintings open that channel up for people maybe thats my dutynPhoto by Phil Parmetnwwwdavidnajarcom

Compare the authors presentations of women and power in The Color Purple and Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit Which in your opinion is more effectivennnnnEnglish LiteraturennJamie ScottnnCandidate: 5121nCentre Number: 37323 nCompare the authors presentations of women and power in The Color Purple and Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit Which in your opinion is more effectivennnnIn the novels The Color Purple and Oranges are Not the Only Fruit women are portrayed in both similar and different ways The first major similarities shared by the books are the lead characters- both Celie and Jeanette are young girls living with their adoptive guardians and both girls are involved in lesbian relationships at some point in the story These similarities in the heroines of the stories provide the basis for my investigation as they are a catalyst for all the major examples of women and power throughout both novelsnIn The Color Purple women are treated as slaves and sexual objects This view is reflected well in Celies relationship with Mr- he marries her so she has to look after his children and frequently rapes her nnnnnnnnThe almost complete opposite of this is Sofia and Harpos relationship where Sofia is dominant and commands Harpos every movementnnIn Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit there are no particularly extreme signs of sexual or sexist domination by either gender There are however instances where one character of the novel (or a group of characters) are shown to discriminate against other characters nnIn both The Color Purple and Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit the most important characters are female Many of the major decisions which make up the stories are made by women In both novels the lead characters are greatly affected by the teachings and views of other women in the books In The Color Purple the women who influence Celie and her decisions are Shug Avery Nettie and Sofia nBeing portrayed at the start of the novel as her protector Nettie is the first person to show Celie ways in which she can become independent Although these first lessons seem to be just childish fun at the start of the novel they provide a basis for Walker to expand upon with other characters When Nettie fights off Mrs sexual advances she shows that women are not just objects for men to use at their own will nAfter Nettie is thrown out of Mrs house (letter 11) we dont hear much about her until later in the novel (letter 51) Now she is not Celies protector but is instead showing her power and independence by trying to save the Olinka village in Africa nSoon after Nettie makes a disappearance from the novel Walker introduces us to an even more influential character- Shug Avery When Shug first arrives at Mrs home she is sick with nasty woman disease this possibly being Walkers euphemism for a sexually transmitted infection If this was the case Shugs first appearance in the story would be also the first time she is shown to have traditionally masculine qualities- by being promiscuous Much unlike the majority of the women in The Color Purple Shug is not oppressed by men she doesnt allow herself to be dominated by anyone Her strong personality is a major part of her overall effect in the book her looks and career being mainly symbols of her power over the opposite sexnThroughout the novel Shug has different roles many of which are because of the parts she plays towards Celie At various points in the book Shug plays the part of Celies mother sister friend lover and teachernnnnnnnnThe lessons Shug teaches Celie are factors in the climax of the novel Without the influence of Shug Celie would still be the downtrodden passive character she is in the first few letters By learning to her own sexuality and voice Celie manages to recover her identity and eventually even believe in a different religious viewnLike Shug Sofia is a character who refuses to be dominated by anyone whether they are white men or anyone elsenAfter confronting Celie over her advice to Harpo (on beating Sofia in order to gain power within the household) Celie admits that she only told him to do such things because she was jealous of Sofias presence and the way she stands up for herself This is important in Celies life as it is the first time she realises that anyone can gain respect or power by being persistent enough to endure the hardships that life brings but also to take a stand and show that they have their own voice and identitynCelie herself is at the end of the novel a heroic figure to both the reader and to the other characters After suffering for so long at the hands of Pa and later Mr Celie finally stands up for herself and secures herself a future by making her voice be heard This act is the climax of the novel and after such a build-up the reader feels a sense of victory both for Celie and for themselves Being a feminist Walkers novel is obviously in the favour of the female gender but the victory over oppression is universal and can be applied to any person who has suffered from either gender nWalker manages to show that women can triumph over men if they band together creating her own feminist movement within the novel although she does so in a way which emphasises the importance of relationships and sisterhood rather than the stereotypical anti-men views of some womennnnnnnnnnnIn Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit the characters who make the majority of the decisions which affect either the story or Jeanette are her mother and Elsie Norris nJeanettes mother is described at the start of the novel as old testament through and through by the narrator In the old testament God was easily angered and mean-spirited This summary of Jeanettes mothers character is one which fits perfectly as her love of Jeanette fluctuates in correlation with Jeanettes fulfilment of her mothers wishesnBy being one of the most religious characters Jeanettes mother is also one of the most hypocritical Her actions towards her daughter are harsh and unloving unlike the kind and generous actions expected from a true believer in Jesus teachings nnnnnnnHer ability to control Jeanettes actions as a child becomes less and less throughout the novel until the end where Jeanette effectively disowns her The decrease in the power she has over Jeanette is huge but when Jeanette returns home for Christmas her mother acts like nothing has changed By this point in the novel she is no longer the dominating woman we saw at the start she is a more softened and accepting woman who simply reaches for her CB radio whenever she feels distressed Her comfort comes in the form of the World Service her intended use for JeanettenLike Jeanettes mother Elsie is also a devout member of the church and testifies daily Unlike Jeanettes mother however Elsie is outgoing and has a history of travel behind her She represents the imaginative individual who Jeanette will eventually turn intonWhen Jeanettes own mother is being neglectful Elsie is the woman she turns to for comfort and guidance Jeanette learns many things that help her to become the character she is from Elsie that the only way to become the person she wants to be is by opening her mind to new ideasnElsie suggests that when Jeanette quits the church she may be better off finding her own way in the world rather than pursuing a religion that she doesnt agree withnUnlike Jeanettes mother Elsies power over Jeanette is not dominating or oppressing because Jeanettes lesbianism and rejection of the church are accepted by Elsie when everyone else shuns her The true power that Elsie has is the power to help people and that is what she does for Jeanette throughout nWhen Elsie dies late in the novel Jeanette is deeply saddened at the loss Elsie is her only true friend and even manages to replace her mothernJeanette towards the end of the novel is like Celie in the way that she riumphs over hardships but these are nowhere near as severe as in The Color Purple Where Celie is oppressed by men Jeanette is shunned by the church and her mother As a way of coping with her troubles Jeanette writes stories in the same way that Celie uses her letter writing as a coping mechanismnnBeing an active feminist Winterson has written many pieces about the roles of women in society and their apparent lack of power Winterson highlights this in a piece from The Guardian about Doris Lessing a feminist icon and novelist The main feel of the piece is not about Ms Lessing however it is more about the way women are still struggling for power with their male counterparts- relating more to The Color Purple than Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit :nnnnnnnnnnnnnTo conclude I feel that in terms of the portrayal of women and power Alice Walker is the most effective writer of the two Her story not only describes male dominance and the ways in which women can overcome such hardships but also how women can still be civil and forgiving after years of oppression This I feel is a feature that can be felt by every reader as a show of true power and strength whatever their race sexuality gender or even religious preference nIn Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit the general tone is much lighter than in The Color Purple and to keep the story light-hearted there are much fewer troubles to be overcome resulting in a climax which seems much less significant (in terms of women and power) than Walkers novel nOn balance Celies struggle through rape and oppression is more effectively shown than Jeanettes sexuality being frowned upon by her mother and the church Whilst homophobia is a problem that more and more people are affected by every day I feel that sexual dominance and the way women are treated is a problem that has been going on for hundreds (if not thousands) of years and will continue to touch readers for many more nBibliographynn The Guardian Newspapers August 15 2001nn Jeanette Wintersoncomnn Modern Critical Interpretations-Alice
