Arts & Humanities - 25 August 2007

please excuse my spelling.....Close your eyes for a moment to ponder,Silently wait for the dreams of the mind to wander,Shadows within released from restraint,Slumber came calling whispers hushed and feint,Drifting away from normalitys foes,To my world of safety where no one goes,Peaceful thoughts visit on daytimes decsend,A few moments alone serenity to mend,Dreams breezes calm storm clouds that gather in day,Whilst bathing in the waters of nights tranquil bay.

2nd oct. is gandhi jayanti and U N pass a resolution to observe 2nd oct. as an international AHIMSA day. really it is of very proud for india and for indian. after so many years of death of BAPU -our rashtrapita mahatma gandhiji, world realised the importance of nonviolence.many renound leader in world has followed this principle like martin luther king, nelson mandela and they acheived independance. as we know everywhere fight is going on in world. we do not find peace any where and we do not find any solution to end it , except nonviolence which was taught by our bapu. and we also acheived our independance through AHIMSA.
on this 2 nd oct. all indian where ever they are living in world must follow one of the priniciple of bapu such as truth. untouchability, cleanliness , simplycity,punctuality any one atleast for a day. than it may be a tribute to our BAPU.
may everywhere will be peace. JAI HIND. MERA BHARAT MAHAN.

Recently i've been looking at actors on and off set and how much they can contrast each other and i love acting more and more every time i see a new element to it. I'm going to be a junior in highschool, and i wanna know a good person or company that teaches acting lessons. I know it's like 1/mill. but i atleast wanna see what it's like, i've been in a pageant before and stuff like that. But i'm kinda worried about my confidence, and i wanted to know what you guys think or do to help with your confidence too.

After recent outpourings of garbage from the dictator Putin, the switching off of gas to some of his neighbours and just yesterday, that incident between Georgia and that Russian fighter aircraft, it begs the question, is the next Cold War around the corner.

If we look back to last year there was the incident with that ex-Russian agent-turned-journalist, who was poisoned in a London hotel. Russia is talking about a new rocket 'defence' system against the West. It seems the old tensions and tit-for-tat rhetoric are returning.

Or has the Cold War never gone away?

So if I take a picture of some friends and me, and print out the picture as the same size as a standard postcard, could I just put a stamp or two on the back of it and mail it to somebody?

Or would it be better to just take the picture and mail it in a normal envelope?

I remember reading this as a kid and loved it..it is a large sized childrens picture book with text ....about a little girl who has a ghost living in her attic , and one night she feels neglected and decides that being a ghost would be much more exciting than being a girl so she puts on a sheet and tries to frighten everyone , meanwhile the ghost free of its haunting duties puts on her dress and plays with her toys.. the girl realizes being a ghost isn't very exciting and they switch back.

I can't remember the title or the names of the characters ..nor the author of the book.. only that the illustrations were unique in that they were all in three basic colors.. a grey background highlighted with white and blue and the drawings ..such as the girls hair and dress ..had a 1940's/ early 1950's look to them.

Any information or help on this is really appreciated ..thanks for reading

Well if they deserve it why not? What if that would make them stop? Is it still right?

I need to warn you, there is blood in this pic.
Took me three hours, and though it's a little plain, I just want to know if it's any good. =/

I've read all of Sarah Dessen's books, and I loved them. I'm now looking for something else to peak my nose into, maybe something YA? No Manga/Anime, please, I'm looking for a novel. Any suggestions would be wonderful! Thanks so much :333
