Babylon the Great (23 of 40) - Greece

libermundus.org Music by Cantoma and Maria Padadopoulou In case anyone is wondering why Athens is the only city included in the video, and what all the references to Dan are about, I want to make sure that no one else gets the credit for the Danaans' destruction of Troy in antiquity, and implicitly point out the reason for it, which is that Danaans were on the "good" side of this conflict, contrary to the very long and well-established Roman tradition which portrays them as vile and belligerent. This notion only has its origin in Homer who, unlike contemporary students and scholars, properly distinguished between the Achaeans or Argives who were the heroes of the Greek side, and the Mycenaeans who were much more closely related to the Phoenicians and Minoans than the Achaeans. The reason mainstream opinion sides with the Trojans against the Greeks (evidenced by every generation of Hollywood portrayals) is that the Greeks were led by the Mycenaean king Agamemnon, but even after his brother Menelaus came to rule Sparta (at this time an Argive settlement) the Spartans were still regarded as noble and virtuous. Most of the significant cities of Greece (including Sparta) have nothing to do with the globalization agenda because they were originally built by the Danaans or the Dorians who took their place. The exceptions are the Athenian states and those which ultimately came under the jurisdiction of Athens prior to the Peloponnesian War--what may be called the Delian League ...

My Big Fat Greek Wedding (Blu-Ray)

My Big Fat Greek Wedding (Music From The Motion Picture) www.4shared.com My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a 2002 Canadian and American romantic comedy film written by and starring Nia Vardalos and directed by Joel Zwick. The film is centered on Fotoula "Toula" Portokalos (Nia Vardalos), a middle class Greek American woman who falls in love with a non-Greek upper middle class "White Anglo-Saxon Protestant" Ian Miller (John Corbett). At the 75th Academy Awards, it was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. A sleeper hit, the film grossed $241.4 million in North America, despite never reaching number one at the box office during its release (the highest-grossing film to accomplish this feat). Fotoula "Toula" Portokalos (Nia Vardalos) is going through an early midlife crisis. At thirty, she is the only woman in her family who has "failed". Her family expects her to "marry a Greek, make Greek babies, and feed everyone until the day [she] die[s]." Instead, Toula is stuck working in the family business, a restaurant. In contrast to her "perfect" sister, Athena (Stavroula Logothetis), Toula is frumpy and cynical. She fears she's doomed to be stuck with her life as it is. At the restaurant, she briefly sees Ian Miller (John Corbett), a handsome school teacher. This event, combined with an argument with her father, Gus (Michael Constantine), motivates her to begin taking computer classes at a local college. She also gets contact lenses, wears her hair curly, and ...

Titans & Olympians. Their Star Origin Story & the People of Ancient Greece.wmv

THIS IS THE STAR ORIGIN STORY OF THE 'GODS' -- THE TITANS & OLYMPIANS OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY... AND THEIR REAL HISTORY WITH THE PEOPLE OF ANCIENT GREECE. All sixteen (16) Greek 'gods', Titans & Olympians are originally from the Perseus constellation, the star Algol. Their home world is known as: Myra {Mear-ah}. It might be valuable to know Myra was originally colonized approximately 200000 years ago by people who were originally from Lyra {Lie-rah}. Collectively, they were a group of people from the 6th dimension who manifested physical human bodies. As they created their Earth bodies of 10-12' tall... they maintained many of their natural 6th dimensional powers while on Earth. The twelve (12) Olympians first migrated to the Cassiopea constellation, the star Chaph, for which the capital "B" is its symbol . These Olympians lived on a planet by the name of -- Lakima {Lah-kee-mah}, 42 light years from Earth's solar system. The Titans traveled directly to and arrived at Earth first... the ones to first rule from the Temple on Mount Olympus. This the the story of their origin, the rule over the people of ancient Greece... and their impressive, profound impact on these people & their way of life. Enjoy.

HADES (Clash of the Gods) 3/4

Hades (Άδης or Ἀΐδας; from Greek ᾍδης, Hadēs, originally Ἅιδης, Haidēs or Άΐδης, Aidēs, meaning "the unseen"]) refers both to the ancient Greek underworld, the abode of Hades, and to the god of the underworld. Hades in Homer referred just to the god; the genitive ᾍδου, Haidou, was an elision to denote locality: "[the house/dominion] of Hades". Eventually, the nominative, too, came to designate the abode of the dead. In Greek mythology, Hades is the oldest male child of Kronus and Rhea. According to myth, he and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated the Titans and claimed rulership over the universe ruling the underworld, air, and sea, respectively; the solid earth, long the province of Gaia, was available to all three concurrently. Because of his association with the underworld, Hades is often interpreted in modern times as the Grim Reaper, even though he was not. By the Romans Hades was called Pluto, from his Greek epithet Πλούτων Ploutōn (πλοῦτος, wealth), meaning "Rich One". In Roman mythology, Hades/Pluto was called Dis Pater and Orcus. The corresponding Etruscan god was Aita. Symbols associated with him are the Helm of Darkness and the three-headed dog, Cerberus.

www.longplays.org Played by D-Skott Kratos, after his defeat of Ares, has become the new God of War, but unfortunately has not been accepted by the other members of the Greek pantheon due to his ruthless treatment of the other Greek city-states. Kratos is still haunted by memories of the deeds from his past while working under Ares. He finds enjoyment the only way he can, by leading and aiding his Spartan army in conquering Greece. Athena pleads that Kratos stop, telling him that she cannot protect him much longer from the wrath of Olympus and that he should not turn his back on her because it was she who made him a god. Kratos replies that he owes nothing to her and descends to the battle of Rhodes to assist his Spartan army. God of War II was first released in North America on March 13, 2007. This PS3 version is a remastered port of the PS2 game. On the PS3 it's released under the name God of War Collection. All chests and easter egg located so this is a 100% run (as far as I know).

The school is best known for its engineering and science curriculum, but the social sciences are also becoming strong.

Best school for Greeks with brains- University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich

Michigan is known for its multi-disciplinary approach including everything from music to medicine. A good eclectic mix of academics and a lively social life, it offers its students everything.

Best school for Hot and Dry - Pomona College, Claremont, Calif.

Pomona is one of five colleges of the Claremont University where students experience the best of both worlds - the academically challenging environment of a small New England liberal-arts college with year-round California sunshine. A combination that is attractive and motivating, the applications are up by almost 30% in the last few years. Students also can explore the academic and social resources of the other Claremont colleges, including Pitzer, Harvey Mudd and Scripps. But none of the colleges will be tapping a keg during "dry week," a tradition at the start of the year during wherein no alcohol is allowed on campus.

Best State University - University of Texas at Austin

Although University of Texas Austin has attained the distinction of a laid-back campus, it is no place for slackers.

Best school for Health Careers - University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, N.C.

One of the top public universities in the US, UNC-Chapel Hill offers students a choice of more than 50 majors. But the main attraction for future doctors, nurses and other health professionals is the opportunity to study at a campus with all health disciplines in one place. The School of Nursing and the School of Public Health both have undergraduate programs. At the School of Medicine, undergrads can earn degrees in radiology science or clinical laboratory practice.

Best school for Individualists - Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio

This eccentricity is very rewarding and Oberlin graduates have more Ph.D.s than alumni of any other liberal-arts college.

Best school for city haters - Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y.

Cornell's rural, upstate New York campus is bounded by deep gorges, spectacular scenery and a beautiful rural setting. However, it has one of the most rigorous and challenging curriculum that draws only the best minds.

Best school for city lovers - New York University, New York, N.Y.

With the Olsen twins Mary-Kate and Ashley lending NYU some of its fame, it is a school loved by the urban and the hip. Despite the 9/11 catastrophe, it continues to draw crowds of talented students. One of the top attractions is the Tisch School of the Arts, which nurtures future actors, dancers and screenwriters. The business school is also highly rated, and students can take advantage of internships on Wall Street. The campus of NYU is not structured in the strictest sense; in fact buildings scattered throughout the Greenwich Village, most students like to believe that they have the whole city as the campus to explore.

Best Military School - U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md.

The four-year undergraduate curriculum at Annapolis is tough and technically oriented, with core requirements in engineering, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences. Traditions play a huge part in campus life. "When you first show up for classes in the fall, students begin counting down the number of days until the Army-Navy game," says Cmdr. Tim Disher, admissions officer. Graduates become commissioned officers in the Navy or the Marine Corps.

Best undergraduate school for scholarships - Berea College, Berea, Ky.
The 1,500 students at Berea come from families with average household incomes of only $30,000, and 80% have grown up in southern Appalachia, a region that spans nine states with some of the most remote and poor rural communities in the country. Berea's mission is unique in that it believes in promoting education by giving scholarships to the poor but deserving. All students get full-tuition scholarships, although they do have to pay for their room, board and books. However, scholarships are available for those as well. Students are required to work--many of them at jobs on campus that help to keep Berea's costs down.

Best Surf and Ski School - University of California, Santa Barbara

It is known to be the most beautiful campus located at the edge of the Pacific. UCSB also boasts Nobel Prize winners on its faculty, top research centres in science and technology and an extensive study-abroad program. Aside from the top academics, the various recreation programs offered attract many of the students. The campus has its own beaches where students can surf, and the Big Bear ski resort is just a few hours' drive away.

It was recovered in 190001 from the Antikythera wreck,[3] but its complexity and significance were not understood until decades later. It is now thought to have been built about 150100 BC. Technological artifacts of similar complexity did not reappear until the 14th century, when mechanical astronomical clocks appeared in Europe.[4] Jacques-Yves Cousteau visited the wreck for the last time in 1978,[5] but found no more remains of the Antikythera Mechanism. Professor Michael Edmunds of Cardiff University who led the most recent study of the mechanism said: "This device is just extraordinary, the only thing of its kind. The design is beautiful, the astronomy is exactly right. The way the mechanics are designed just makes your jaw drop. Whoever has done this has done it extremely carefully...in terms of historic and scarcity value, I have to regard this mechanism as being more valuable than the Mona Lisa."[6][7] The device is displayed in the Bronze Collection of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, accompanied by a reconstruction made and offered to the museum by Derek de Solla Price. Other reconstructions are on display at the American Computer Museum in Bozeman, Montana and the Children's Museum of Manhattan in New York and in Kassel, Germany.

Stephen Hawking's The Grand Design, Chapter 2 - Superstition to Science (Audiobook)

Let me know if you folks enjoy this. This was such an inspirational chapter I just had to do this. It covers so much in such a smooth manner, it was unbelievable how comprehensive it was to me. I will try to complete the chapter soon so this is probably a part 1 of 2 (unless I just can't find the time, which is somewhat foreseeable for the next month or so). If it just puts you to sleep or is uninteresting, definitely let me know. It took a hell of a lot of time to do this so if people aren't interested, I'm not doing part 2 :) It's an interesting concept I thought; to do some visuals to really interesting audiobook clips... I don't think I've seen that done before..? As the title says, this is from The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow. This is from the audio book, which is being read by Steve West. Chapter 2 is actually named The Rule of Law. It's essentially describing how we even discovered there were laws to be understood at all.. how we figured out we could finally add some sort of order to life, which, to the ancients, was just inexplicably chaotic without invoking the concept of gods to explain every day events. It also indirectly illustrates how the preponderance of superstition, religion and other myths have continually stifled science -- sometimes for thousands of years at a time. Imagine where we could be? It makes me sick to think about that :( I really hope I don't encounter copyright problems because this is an entirely educational, non ...

Neil Freer: Who Were the Gods? (excerpt) - A Thinking Allowed DVD w/ Jeffrey Mishlove

NOTE: This is an excerpt from a 30-minute DVD. www.thinkingallowed.com Neil Freer is author of Breaking the Godspell, a book which delves into the implications of the radical theories of scholar Zecharia Sitchin (The Twelfth Planet, Stairway to Heaven, etc). Here he discusses the hypothesis that the gods of ancient cultures were actually from another planet that colonized the earth. Several lines of argumentation support this position. These include ancient objects that suggest the existence of high technology. Additionally, the ancient Sumerian clay tablet texts, when read literally, appear to go into great detail describing the science and technology of these beings.

Christmas Gifts For 8 Year Old Girls

Are you on the look out for that perfect Christmas gift for your Daughter? No doubt she will drop some subtle hints if you broach the subject but if you want to keep her Christmas present a complete surprise then here are a few ideas. The article will focus on Christmas gifts for 8 year old girls or girls around about that age. Hopefully it will help you get informed on the type of toys that are available for girls around this age.

If your girls are into dolls then a recent new released series is the Monster High dolls. These dolls are way cooler than Barbie and much more interesting. They are of teenage kids that go to the school called Monster High. All the dolls are different characters and they are based on famous monsters from myths, history or horror movies.

In fact they are the children of these famous monsters. Presumably all the monsters came to Hollywood to play roles in movies as themselves and kind of settled down and had kids. The kids had to go to school and thus we find them at Monster High.

The two most popular dolls are Cleo DeNile and Deuce Gorgon. Cleo is the offspring from the Mummy and has all sorts of Ancient Egyptian accessories. Deuce is the doting son of Medusa from Greek mythology. She was recently spotted in the action adventure blockbuster Clash of the Titans.

Another toy that is fun to play but also very clever is the Hogwarts Lego board game. Eight year old girls are no doubt fans of the Harry Potter series of movies or maybe have even read the books. Well, the Lego board game is a fun way to get even more out of the Harry Potter story.

Up to 4 people can play and they have to get various pieces of homework to the common room (or center of the board). Players can block other players off by casting spells that seal walls to halt and opponents progress. It's good fun for girls devoted to the Harry Potter story and keen to be a part of the venerable old Hogwarts school.

Another toy that is fun for the whole family but certainly some that young girls would like to play with is the Kinect sensor for Xbox 360. Of course you need an Xbox 360 for the Kinect sensor to work but after that you are good to go.

You can get games, like Kinectimals which allows you to have a virtual pet. A gorgeous tiger cub is demonstrated. As the sensor responds to all your movements you can play with your pet animals - tickle his chin or stroke his head. He will purr or jump up and try to lick you.

It looks like great fun and sure to be a popular game with girls around 8 years of age and even older or younger.

Learn more about Cleo, Deuce and all the Monster High dolls or maybe the Hogwarts Lego Board Game is more intriguing. Click the links to get more details.

ODYSSEUS (Clash of the Gods) part 1 (1/4)

Odysseus (Greek: Ὀδυσσεύς, Odusseus) or Ulysses (Latin: Ulyssēs) was a legendary Greek king of Ithaca and the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey. Odysseus also plays a key role in Homer's Iliad and other works in the Epic Cycle. King of Ithaca, husband of Penelope, father of Telemachus, and son of Laërtes and Anticlea, Odysseus is renowned for his guile and resourcefulness, and is hence known by the epithet Odysseus the Cunning. He is most famous for the ten eventful years he took to return home after the ten-year Trojan War and his famous Trojan Horse trick.

God of the Paradox

What if we solved all our problems this way? Late paying the rent? Just tell your landlord that you paid him with supermoney, which is better than money, but he just can't see it right now. The paradox and the supernatural are symbiotic. "Beyond" space and time, omniscience, omnibenevolence, omnipotence, omnipresence, freewill, a grand plan, divine intervention, heaven, hell, souls, miracles, and life after death are completely invented concepts that have severe logical problems that are explained away by the word "supernatural", which is also completely made up. Lightning and rainbows were once obviously supernatural. Those claims failed when they became testable, as will any claim attributed to the supernatural - no matter how obvious they seem to you.

Ten Important Places in Greece That You Have to Visit

Greece has always been a favorite tourist destination of visitors from all over the world. Not only are they fascinated by the many historical buildings that Greece has, but the visitors are also mesmerized by its history. This is, as we all know, the land where the gods and goddesses once walked on earth.

1.) Acropolis

If you are going to Greece, then surely the Acropolis is in your top ten list because this is a very great historical site in the country. Here, you can see the Temple of Athena called the Panthenon. The perfect hour to visit the Acropolis is in the late afternoon, or you can even visit it early in the morning when it is not as crowded.

2.) Athens' National Archeological Museum

In this museum, you will surely have a wonderful time looking at artifacts from the ancient periods of Greece. You will surely marvel at the beauty of those kouroi statues. If you want to see some Egyptian artifacts, there is also some on exhibit here.

3.) The Temple of Poseidon

Once you reach the cliff top where this temple is located, prepare yourself for the magnificence of this ancient structure. From this vantage point, you will also see the blue waters of the Aegean Sea. There is also a restaurant here where you can have a quick snack.

4.) The Island of Santorini

Almost every one of us has been captivated by the story of the Lost Atlantis. Well, it is said that the Island of Santorini is the Atlantis. Enjoy its history as you walk along the site where the city of Akrotiri was once buried and imagine yourself during that time.

5.) Mykonos Island

If you are tired of old buildings and in need of some modern relaxation, then head on to Mykonos Island. It is a popular tourist destination with lots of modern restaurants as well as trendy bars and discos. There are also nude beaches in the island, perfect for those who want a perfect tan.

6.) Epidaurus Theatre

You can see this ancient theatre in the Peloponnese Peninsula. The best time of the year to visit this though is during the Epidaurus Festival in the summertime. You will surely love the plays and orchestras here.

7.) Mycenae Fortress

Majority of the golds and silvers that are being displayed in the National Archeological Museum came from this site. Here, you will see beautifully carved stone walls, like the gate were two lions are carved, as well as majestic tomb shafts. You can also have a quick snack in this site's snack bar.

8.) Crete Island

You should definitely visit this place. Here, drop by Matala if you want fantastic beaches as well as energetic nightlife. Visit also Gortyn and the Phaistos Palace, or better yet, visit the Heraklion Archeological Museum for more fascinating history about this island.

9.) Knossos Palace

This is an ancient Minoan Palace that attracts a lot of visitors yearly. Here, you will surely feel how the ancient Greeks lived before. Be in awe also of the many rooms this palace contains as well as be enthralled with the beautiful statues that are still in the palace.

10.) Corfu

In this area, you can visit the Spianada where you can take a leisurely walk as you stroll along the cafes. You can also visit the fortresses that had protected this island from invaders those many years ago, and you can also visit the Saint Spyridon Church. One more place that you have to see in Corfu is the grotto that can be found in the island's cliffs, and anybody who ever sees it will marvel at the beauty of the place.

Allusion in Poetry

Allusion, according to A Handbook to Literature by C. Hugh Holman, The Odyssey Press, "is a figure of speech making casual reference to a famous historical or literary figure or event." According to definitions in various literature and composition text books, an allusion is the casual reference to a figure or event in history or literature that creates a mental image in the mind of the reader.

All right, young man in the back, what's the problem? I hear you whispering. Maybe I can answer your question better than your neighbor.

"Uh, well, I just think maybe you have confused something. Isn't an allusion something you see that isn't there?"

Thank you. I'm so glad you asked that question. Many people do confuse allusion and illusion. An allusion is the reference to someone or something in literature or history. Illusion is something which is not actually seen or which does not really exist.

One example of an allusion would be something like "Like a modern Daniel, the brave little boy strode to the playground in order to face the school bully." The reference to Daniel from the Bible who faced hungry lions brings bravery to mind. Another allusion might be "The Paul Bunyon of a man filled the small room."

An illusion might be "Jim Ross told everyone about the flying saucer he watched in the night sky. His wife shook her head in disbelief. 'You also say you saw me do a strip tease on the front porch, illusions the result of over-inbibing that brew you make in the garage'."

Many times writers, especially poets, allude to Biblical characters and events. In The Merchant of Venice, Shakespeare used the line "A Daniel come to judgement." T.S. Eliot uses a complex literary allusion in his The Waste Land and in his notes about that poem.

I use allusion occasionally, as in the following poems, and many times I allude to something Biblical as I do in these. (All poetry is copyrighted by Vivian Gilbert Zabel.)

Lost and Found

Screams rend the night darkness

As chaos reigns in sleeping minds.

Fighting echoing shrieks to awareness,

Those once drowsing find themselves

Now huddling in fear beneath covers.

Fire flickers through the filter of eyelids,

While those braver than the rest peek

To glimpse shadows of nightmares

Lingering in delight of tears streaming

Down cheeks of those too scared to run.

Then faith reaches out its hopeful hand

To touch and tame the frightful madness

That only Hell can bring to those who live.

The hero of a demon-filled existence

Is the One who loves man the most.

The allusion to Hell brings to mind the agony that is to be found there.

Live Forever

Who wants to live forever?

So the pain of heart and limbsCan endure ever lasting?

Discomfort will grow each day

Until I won't want to stay.

Talk of immortality,

I could greet my grandchildren's

Progeny for many years.

But when their time disappears,

I would be overwhelmed with tears.

I could watch history pass

With war, disease, desolation.

Leaders would rise and then fall,

Bringing hope, sometimes despair,

But never long-lasting care.

I don't want to live forever,

Not in this world we now know.

I want to know that some day

I will be able to escape

To a place not filled with hate.

Who wants to live forever?

In a place of cloudless skies,

Of love, peace, and endless joy,

Sunlight gleams without a storm,

Glory found in every form.

I will take forever life

In the place where He's alive,

To know that everyone there

Need not be separated

Nor ever feel incarcerated.

No pain, no illness, no tears

Will be seen much less known,

War, a word not even heard.

Yes, I will live forever

Once I cross Jordan's river.

In the Bible, the river Jordan came to mean the river that one crosses into Heaven, therefore representing death.

In the first poem, the allusion adds to the emotion of agony, pain, torture. However, in the second poem, the allusion adds to the imagery but not exactly to the emotion.

So what allusion brings an emotional image to mind? What does Sir Gallahad bring to mind? Courage, love, knight in shining armor all come to mind, emotional reactions.

Closure

The young boy's eyes sparkled

As he spied the golden curls

Peeking from under her winter cap.

Since an eight-year-old isn't poetic,

He packed snow into a ball

And threw with all his might,

Knocking the hat from her head.

Imagine his surprise as she whirled

And returned fire, hitting his chest,

Where love for her bloomed.

Over the years, fast friends

They became as they skipped

Hand in hand through school.

His junior prom, she was his date,

As was he for hers the next.

After he left for college,

Letters, like winged flames,

Flew from him to her each week.

The summer became a time of joy

As they rebuilt their love again.

In fall, they had to part once more,

He back to the next level;

She, to the college in town.

Once full of love and laughter,

Messages from her came

Slower and shorter each time.

Soon, by Christmas, they stopped.

By end of semester, he heard

She gave her love to another.

His heart turned to stone.

Years passed, he earned a fortune,

But he never had a family.

At last the loner returned home

To find his lost love not only

Another's wife, but a mother.

He stood in the background,

Knowing her husband could be ruined.

He had the means; he had the hate.

Then he saw her face in his mind

And packed the hate away.

He died the other day,

A driver didn't pause or stop.

Many attended the funeral

With one woman at the back.

Tears pooled and spilled

Before she wiped her face,

Turned, and slipped away.

Only later did she know

He left her not only his heart

But everything he had.

Unknown to her, he had been more,

Her Sir Galahad: Although he wore

A tarnished, rusted suit of armor.

I hope you will try using allusion in your poetry, for a touch of imagery if nothing else, but also try to see if the device can add a dose of emotion.

HADES (Clash of the Gods) 4/4

Hades (Άδης or Ἀΐδας; from Greek ᾍδης, Hadēs, originally Ἅιδης, Haidēs or Άΐδης, Aidēs, meaning "the unseen"]) refers both to the ancient Greek underworld, the abode of Hades, and to the god of the underworld. Hades in Homer referred just to the god; the genitive ᾍδου, Haidou, was an elision to denote locality: "[the house/dominion] of Hades". Eventually, the nominative, too, came to designate the abode of the dead. In Greek mythology, Hades is the oldest male child of Kronus and Rhea. According to myth, he and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated the Titans and claimed rulership over the universe ruling the underworld, air, and sea, respectively; the solid earth, long the province of Gaia, was available to all three concurrently. Because of his association with the underworld, Hades is often interpreted in modern times as the Grim Reaper, even though he was not. By the Romans Hades was called Pluto, from his Greek epithet Πλούτων Ploutōn (πλοῦτος, wealth), meaning "Rich One". In Roman mythology, Hades/Pluto was called Dis Pater and Orcus. The corresponding Etruscan god was Aita. Symbols associated with him are the Helm of Darkness and the three-headed dog, Cerberus.

The Importance of Hospitality

It's a word we may not often hear these days. Hospitality. Being hospitable. In deed, maybe we're not as hospitable as we can or should be. In idea, maybe we're not sure of how we can be hospitable.

Being approachable; a warm smile; the ability to hear what someone tells you either through language, indirect statements, or subtle body cues; a receptive nature. It's something we are all capable of.

This theory is nothing new. It has a long evolution and has been worded and talked of in many different ways.

Esther Hicks and Abraham address it in a new and more applicable method; that whatever positive trait we would like to see and develop in ourselves, we should then see and address those traits in the people that populate our environment. If we attract what we resonate with, then to see those traits in others means already that we indeed have those traits ourselves.

Before that, the idea expressed itself in the WWJD bracelets...

It was a catch phrase in the 80's with "I'm all right, you're all right"...

The bible mentions it one way as love your neighbor...

And thousands of years ago the Greeks addressed it as well. It was the core tenet of many Greek beliefs, and was included in their mythologies. You never knew when Zeus, Hera, Hermes, or any other God might take human form to knock on your door for a dinner. It wasn't wise to be inhospitable!

Being hospitable transcends an idea or habit, and allows us to be receptive. It shifts us into a mind set of welcoming and allowing the changes in Energy we would like to initiate. It allows a different perspective.

I've attended many federal level seminars and trainings regarding Information Technology- acquisition, business analysis, failure analysis, project management, security... The general theme I've noticed has been this: Manage your Risks! One instructor even went so far as to say "God put us here on this earth, and our only job is to manage risk!" Not just in a business sense, but in all facets of life. He was the perfect man to deliver this message, as it had worked for him through two wars. His particular perception was that obstacles to our goals were risks to manage very closely. In the business of I.T., this meant that everything one encounters is a risk and should be addressed with the appropriate methodologies being taught.

The perspective this demands implies that anything and everything in your environment is there to do some degree of harm or damage to you or your projects. There is nothing that will assist you so you must take advantage of your risks and shift them to your favor. I'll leave the implications of this manner of thinking towards a business perspective out of this. The implications of doing this personally, of allowing such a perspective, could be nothing but unhealthy and de-energizing.

So we have this dichotomy of thought. Are we warm and receptive to those strangers knocking on our door, or, do we allow a fear based reality to exist, where strangers and friends are all risks?

What happens when we apply the ideas of Hospitality or Being Inhospitable to our own personal and spiritual natures?

Are we open to change, to changing ourselves, to shifting our own Energies? Can we allow the idea that something entering our environment could be an emissary of the divine, a physical "How" of change that the Universe is providing us? That maybe, the universe is working through us as well?

Erin Pavlina provides a succinct example of this on her blog ( http://www.erinpavlina.com/blog/2008/07/manifesting-a-reading/ ). How she trusted her intuition, allowing that "stranger" thought to lead her to something she was meant to do with someone that entered her environment. It's a wonderful article worth reading. Being Hospitable- warm and receptive, inviting - to people as well as the ideas we allow into our conscious takes only a singular decision. It's a path of loving Energy. When we are hospitable, others are the same towards us. It could be that many of us are afraid of this particular path simply because of the belief that our kindness and hospitality we will be seen as weaknesses by others. Somehow we'll be taken advantage of. There's never a way to know for sure unless we try, right?

Being inhospitable is also a state of being called forth by your decision to be so. It's a path of cautiousness, of being alert and worried by those people and ideas in our environment. It's fear based thinking. Simply be thinking this way, we draw such inhospitable people and ideas towards us. Consider this: we, as a nation, by practicing in-hospitality, have wars that have endured for decades. Wars on poverty, drugs, terrorism. Yet, we have even MORE poverty, drugs, and terrorism.

I've dealt with a multitude of people and events who ardently subscribe to the "Risk Management" model of life. I'm sure you do as well, even if those people don't call it "Risk Management". How we can we maintain our posture of Hospitality while dealing with such people?

One of the easiest modalities I have used for this has worked, and continues to work for me. It diffuses the other persons harshness and allows them the opportunity to reciprocate the kindness. It's one simple word.

"And...?"

When people approach me with anger, I allow them the chance to vent and fume their issue to me. Usually these tirades last a few minutes and I choose to see the situation as one that allows hospitality to be brought to focus. At some point, the person pauses, expecting a reply that will continue to fuel the exchange.

Reply with a simple, "And...?".

And they'll usually continue to rant until they run our of Energy and expect a reply.

"Go on...",

Allow them to continue to voice the source of their anger and discontent. And, they usually continue- the rants get shorter, and at some point something happens that will turn the tide, that will shift their focus.

"And then...?"

They hear themselves and what they are saying. Their anger at whatever situation, event, or person slowly dissipates because you have allowed them the opportunity to be inhospitable, to air those negative vibrations of Energy. You have remained warm and receptive to them, not allowing their fear-based perceptions to solicit a reaction from you. Eventually, their ideas and emotions of anger run out, allowing you to practice your ideas of hospitality. You've not only listened to them, you've heard them. However you address them afterward, whatever advice or critique you offer, doesn't really matter. What matters is that you have given them a model of how to be hospitable by being it yourself.

This modality works with many situations, even friendly exchanges. How often have you spoke with a stranger or friend or family member, and encouraged them to expound on their positive thoughts by asking "And then what happened?", "And then what did you do?"... Your hospitality has now encouraged others by offering them a friendly ear!

However you choose to see the world or treat other people or ideas in your own environment, be gentle with yourself. Be hospitable with yourself and you'll be hospitable with others.

Have a Blessed day,

J.Henry

Four of my first five films, all shot in Greece, starred Elli Lambetti, in original screenplays that explored her mysterious beauty and wide range from sophisticated comedy to violent drama. The fifth, "Stella", was tailored to the sensual and explosive personality of Melina Mercouri and launched her on the international scene. I had been toying with the idea of adapting a Greek tragedy to the screen, when I met Irene Papas in the early sixties. Her unique classical beauty, her intelligence and emotional power were just the right ingredients for the title role in "Electra", which I scripted with her in mind. Distributed by United Artists, the film met with international acclaim, planting the seed for a trilogy about the Atreids and ...

God of War III - The fate of Pandora \\ Kratos and Zeus Encounter

*WARNING!! SPOILERS* Kratos must choose to sacrafice Pandora to open the box, or allow his vengance to go unfulfilled. This is probably my favourite scene from the entire saga of God of War games. Kratos shows us a totally different side to him as he starts to feel for Pandora in the same way he did for his daughter, Calliope. It's an epically beautiful rollercoaster of different emotions to say the least. I couldn't find these cutscenes anywhere else on youtube without having to watch two parts and skipping the boring battle with Zeus. So here, for your enjoyment, is Kratos' encounter with Zeus as well as what follows.

Eight Fun Facts About Western Dragons

Western Dragons typically are thought of as evil, fire-breathing beasts. Their reputation as evil may have been influenced by the demonization from the Church, and their fire-spewing capability.

As promised, your eight easy ways to remember the Western Dragon:

1. Both Chinese Dragons and Western dragons usually live in water, especially oceans and rivers. Apep and Tiamat are two examples of water dwellers. Some also are thought to spew water, like the French dragon Gargouille, and the Devil Dragon from the Book of Revelations.

2. There is a theory that dragons evolved into fire-breathing abilities due to a large internal bladder, or sac, filled with methane. The Dragon had a metal-type "flint" in its throat, and when it belched in self-defense was able to ignite the methane and 'breathe fire'.

3. Dragons have the ability to fly because their wings are huge and capable of providing lift. Their frames are not composed of solid bones, but are hollow and cartilaginous; light, like plastic.

4. Like the Eastern, or Chinese Dragons, Western Dragons also have the reputation of wisdom. Ancient Greek stories tell us that Pythonesses learned from Dragons.

5. The common theme of a Western Dragon's diet is either animals like sheep and goats, and also young maidens (virgins). Perseus and Andromeda include this in their Greek Mythologies, and Hercules saved a maiden from a Dragon. St. George (from Europe) also tells of maiden sacrifices from Europe.

6. Dragons make great guardians. Ladon guarded the Golden apples at Hesperides,and Tiamat's Dragon guarded sacred tablets. It was a dragon that guarded the golden fleece from Jason, and the Golden Apples at Hesperides were protected by Ladon. So your dragon figurines perched on a castle or your dragon holding a ball are likely Western Dragons.

7. Not only were Dragons considered guardians, but actual greedy hoarders. There are mythical stories of greedy men who were turned into Western Dragons.

8. In appearance, Western Dragons have a long neck and tail, horned heads, scales like body armor, forked tongues, and varying colors. Their feet are clawed.

Following are various Western Dragon categories:

Amphitere:

Dragons with feathers, or plumes. Examples include the Egyptian dragon, Buto, and the South American dragon, Quetzlcoatl.

Drake:

An old English term for a dragon. A fire breathing dragon was called a fire drake.

Guivre:

A Guivre has four legs, two wings.

Lindworm:

A dragon with two legs, and no wings.

Wyrm:

a dragon having no legs or wings, like a snake. As an aside, this is the French name for a Guivre.

Wyvern:

It represents pestilence and war. It has two wings and two legs. Common Dragons will have two wings and four legs.

There are many great Dragon stories; are Dragons real? The funny thing is, almost anyone can say what they think a Dragon is, even if it exists only in Mythology. But lots of people can't describe mitochondria...and we all have them!
