Women Dream Explanation
— The sight of a woman, in general, is a good augury, especially if she is sprightly, adorned, and complacent, with a smiling face. And the best woman to be seen in a dream is the unknown, young, virtuous, and very dark-skinned Arab woman, according to Ibn Siren. An unknown old and ugly or imperfect woman symbolizes life on earth, which is the essence of temptation and intrigue. Such a life appeared to the Holy Prophet in the shape of a woman when he ascended beyong heaven, one night, to meet Allah. Hence the belief that
are temptation and intrigue. Similarly, worldly life was seen by many people in their dreams as an old, imperfect woman. It follows that a poor man dreaming that such a woman is considering his situation should expect luck to smile on him again. Flowers in his garden will blossom, his dead fields will start greening again, and he will become self-sufficient. If ill, he shall recover. If forgetful of life after death, he shall come back to his senses. The same dream applied to the public means that the people will reap harvest during the year in which they had lost hope or in the year that immediately follows it. It could also mean that a spreading and vicious war will come to an end and that normalcy will be restored.
• An unveiled and adorned old woman: A sign that success will be quick.
• A grim-faced old woman: Prestige will go.
• An ugly old woman: Things will turn upside-down to the dreamer's detriment.
• A naked old woman: Scandal.
• A veiled old woman: Regret.
• An old woman entering the dreamer's house: Luck and success in life.
• An old woman leaving the dreamer's house: Will lose everything on earth.
• An old Muslim woman: An honest life.
• An old non-Muslim woman: A life full of sins.
• An old woman complying with the dreamer's desires: Objectives will be fulfilled insomuch as she was complacent.
• An old woman disobeying the dreamer's orders despite his pleas and insistence: Hurdles. The dream is more likely to come true if the old woman was an unidentified one. However, Sheikh Abdul Ghani Al-Nabulsi has a completely different concept of dreams involving old
, a concept the author of this book finds more rational, since the Arabic word for old woman is ajouz from ajz, which means "incapacity" or "inability." It follows that an old woman represents: (1) Incapacity, especially if she appears sick. (2) Declining fortune. (3) Sorrow. (4) The Hereafter, since senility is the reverse of liveliness. (5) Wine, since in Arabic the word khamr, or wine, could refer to an old woman.60 (6) A cow, since again in Arabic, an old woman is sometimes referred to as a cow. (7) Wickedness and deceit. (8) Gossip. (9) Fertility after despair. (10) Sterile land.
• A thirsty old woman: Drought.
• A weak old woman: A year of drought. The reverse is also true.
• A rejuvenated old woman: The end of drought.
• An old woman entering a patient's room: Possible death.
• An old woman coming to a pregnant lady: Good augury, because old
traditionally look after children and mothers after delivery.
• A man handling some important matter dreaming that he was in the company of or having sex with an old woman: Will fail and objectives will not be fulfilled.
• A veiled old woman with only the eyes visible: Hardships and regret.
• An ugly old woman: Intrigue and war.
• An old atheist woman: Illicit gains.
• An armed old woman: Lawful gains and joy.
• A woman dreaming that she had become old: Prestige, respect, and virtue.
• An unknown old woman: A dry year.
• People marvelling at an old woman descending from heaven: The year of the dreamer's gains.
• An old woman having ceased to have sex dreaming that her vigour and sexual passion are back and that she is having legitimate intercourse: Will be more successful in both religious and worldly matters. In the event of forbidden sex she will be more successful only in earthly matters.
• A smiling and enthusiastic young woman flirting with the dreamer or allowing him to dominate or command her: Marriage or recovery from a stomach or any other disease.
• An unknown young, beautiful, neat, pious, and almost ascetic woman: The Hereafter and whatever is done to merit Paradise, such as honest living, good deeds, et cetera. But she could also symbolize: (1) Ephemeral life. (2) Money or assets that do not stay, as beauty withers away. (3) Dead earth. (4) A devastated house.
• A known woman with the above description: A reference to the person herself, a lady sharing the same name or who resembles her, or her opposite number.
• Seeing a woman so beautiful that the dreamer imagines her to be a creature from Paradise as described in the Holy Quran (houreyyah, or nymph with enormous black and pristine eyeballs contrasting with her skin, like a deer): Will die as a martyr for the sake of God.
• Seeing an earthly creature with that description: Being saved from any kind of trouble, money, a ship, a camel, or a caravan, et cetera, the dreamer will come back from a journey bringing welfare; any wish or request will be granted by the ruler or chief; crops will grow; and so on and so forth.
• A perfect woman: An allusion to what her name refers to on earth or in the other world, for a woman is a world in herself or to whoever enters her life; she is delight and passion and ecstasy. In terms of the Hereafter, she reforms her man on the religious plane. She could also symbolize power or the ruler or chief himself, because she governs her man by enticing him and arousing his passion, making him strive and toil like a slave to try to make her happy. Analogies are also drawn between
and earth and the grave, as man comes from earth and returns to it; gardens, the fruit-bearing tree; the year (in view of what it conceives and delivers); cows (because of the milk) and ewes; the rain; and, revolting as it may seem to contemporary women's liberation activists, anything that a man rides or steps on or that is hollow like a box, or used for storage, be it a ship, an animal, a sole or a complete shoe, a carpet or rug, or a sink. She is also represented by a glass bottle and by the toilet. Likewise, the woman symbolizes the prison; the partner, as she shares man's wealth and pleasure; any secret, the underwear; the ink pot; and the seat.
• Talking to or mixing, joking, or playing with a pretty woman who has entered one's house: (1) A fruitful year. (2) Welfare and joy. (3) An end to poverty and to poor luck. (4) Liberation from prison.
• A woman commanding people and inviting them to obey God: Piety.
• An authoritarian woman addressing the public and telling them what they should and what they should not do: Religious benefit.
• A woman as described above opposing the public or touching or kissing the audience or showing her private parts: Intrigue or a proving matter in which those seen getting anything from her will perish in view of verse 35 of the Quranic chapter "Al-Anbiyae" (The Prophets), which says: "Every soul must taste of death, and We try you with evil and with good, for ordeal. And unto Us ye will be returned."
• A large number of
being moved to a certain place on horse or camelback and carrying weapons or tools: Workers will flock to the area.
• Having a dispute with a woman, especially if she holds a public post or enjoys a high social position, then resenting her: (1) Will lose one's bread. (2) Will fade out. (3) Well-being and power will wane, but after a while everything will be back to normal.
• Seeing a dishevelled woman—an absolute stranger: Will imminently lose something. But if she is pretty, will find it again.
• Kissing a lady: Will lose something.
• Having sex with a woman: Bad omen.
• Carrying a beautiful woman: (1) Recovery from a disease. (2) Release from prison. (3) Relief.
• A religious-minded man seeing an adulteress or an atheistic woman: Good augury and blessings.
• A profligate seeing an adulteress or a dissolute woman: His faith will weaken further; he will indulge in sins, vice, and evil.
• A sterile woman becoming pregnant: Welfare and reform in one's life and in the Hereafter.
• A group of
looking at the dreamer and one of them inviting him to join in: (1) Bad reputation, though innocent. (2) Will obtain what he is aiming for, but later on. (3) His enemies will not have the upper hand.
• A dispute among numerous women: Strange events will disturb some people. The reverse is also true.
• A young man smiling at the dreamer: The revival of dead matters.
• A fat woman: A fertile or fruitful year.
• A slim woman: A poor year.
• An old woman: Nothing good should be expected from such a dream, unless she is unveiled and adorned.
• Negresses61 coming to the dreamer: Lots of legitimate benefits.
• A black woman: A dark night. A bad omen, unless she belongs to someone.
• A white woman: A night softened by moonlight.
• A woman being sold: Power will wane and stability will be shaken, but not forever.
• Seeing a woman other than those the dreamer sees when he is awake: The dreamer will lose some of his assets, then find them again. Killing such a woman would mean that a large chunk of the dreamer's wealth will go. Having sex with her means all his wealth will be lost.
• A lady seeing an old woman: (1) A reference to her own efforts. (2) Her endeavours will fail.
• A lady seeing a young woman: An enemy, whatever she looks like.
• A young woman dreaming that she has become old: She is a virtuous one.

As for one's livers in a dream, they represent knowledge, money or children. If a man of knowledge sees his livers flying away from his

• Having the hair of an animal or a lion on one's body: Hardships are ahead. The length of the armpit hair means that the dreamer's wishes will be fulfilled. That hair is also an indicator of the person's quality and generosity.
• Having plenty of hair under the armpit: The dreamer is a shrewd businessman, not necessarily a gentle, noble, or religious one.
• Having plenty of lice in the armpit hair: Many children.

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 In the ninth year of Tzidkiyahu king of Y'hudah, in the tenth month, N'vukhadretzar king of Bavel marched against Yerushalayim with his entire army and began to lay siege against it. | 1 This is how Jerusalem was taken: In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army and laid siege to it. |
2 On the ninth day of the fourth month of the eleventh year of Tzidkiyahu, they broke through into the city. | 2 And on the ninth day of the fourth month of Zedekiah's eleventh year, the city wall was broken through. |
3 All the officers of the king of Bavel entered and sat at the Middle Gate - Nergal-Sar'etzer, Samgar-N'vo, Sars'khim the Rav-Saris, Nergal-Sar'etzer the Rav-Mag and all the other officers of the king of Bavel. | 3 Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and took seats in the Middle Gate: Nergal-Sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-Sarsekim a chief officer, Nergal-Sharezer a high official and all the other officials of the king of Babylon. |
4 When Tzidkiyahu the king of Y'hudah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled, leaving the city by night through the king's garden, exiting from the gate between the two walls, and continuing out by the route through the 'Aravah. | 4 When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled; they left the city at night by way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls, and headed toward the Arabah. |
5 But the army of the Kasdim went in pursuit of them and overtook Tzidkiyahu on the plains near Yericho. Upon capturing him, they brought him up to N'vukhadretzar king of Bavel at Rivlah, in the land of Hamat, where he passed judgment on him. | 5 But the Babylonian army pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. They captured him and took him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced sentence on him. |
6 The king of Bavel slaughtered the sons of Tzidkiyahu before his eyes in Rivlah; the king of Bavel also slaughtered all the leading men of Y'hudah. | 6 There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes and also killed all the nobles of Judah. |

I was given this as a present and initially didn't like it. I kept it in a drawer for a year or so and pulled it out when my other perfume ran out. When you first spray it on, it's a really strong scent and that's what I didn't like. But please, give this product a good 10 seconds to dissipate and smell it again. It smells very girly and nice. It also lasts well and holds up throughout the day.
I've never gotten so many compliments from wearing a perfume as I have with this one.
I am so astounded by the negative reviews of this product! I bought Sweet Darling after smelling it on a friend and thinking it was amazing, and I've never gotten anything but compliments on it (besides from my 65 year old mum, who said that the fragrance is much too sweet).
Something about this perfume reminds me of very sweet pears. It has their rich fruitiness, mixed up with a lot of other elements. It's a great fragrance that is inexpensive, and when I found out that it is limited edition I was pretty sad. I've been buying multiple bottles at once! It's one of my favourite perfumes.
This smells of very sweet burnt plastic to me, quite unpleasant. It also reminds me of engine oil - I think that must be the passionfruit. I'm not getting any vanilla, unfortunately.
I have Fantasy and find this way sweeter and less interesting.
I don't like it and regret buying it. At least it was in the bargain bin and you should be able to find it heavily discounted.
After loving the kylie minogue darling, i couldn't resist buying this one. However the smell is a bit to sweet for me reminds of britney spears fantasy. Too sweet!
Wouldn't buy again!
So I was given this as a birthday present, it's not something I would ever pick out myself. I'm not keen on the whole celebrity fragrances culture, I prefer to get perfumes from reputable fragrance houses (Versace, Gucci, Calvin Klein, D&G, YSL etc.) as I find they last better, smell better and aren't owned by every teenage girl on every street corner. So, on to the fragrance, it's SO sweet. We're talking sugar coated marshmallows rolled in chocolate sweet. When I put it on I always imagine I smell 'sugar sweet' which to be honest, I'm not that keen on. Fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, this is a scent that lasts for aaaaages. Sooo long. The whole day. Which means you have to have the perhaps sickly sweetness next to you all day. I guess you could say this smells like sugar and vanilla. That's all I could pick out at least. Also, the bottle is kind of lame. I like perfumes to have cute bottles (another reason to get high end perfumes), and this really doesn't. Anyway, ramble over, this perfume is overall VERY sweet, so if you like that, go ahead and buy it. Would be great for a young teen, but if you're over the age of about 15, don't even bother, far far too sweet. Sorry Kylie :(
More reviews by magicalmoongoddess
This is quite a sweet and pretty fragrance that reminds me a little of Angel, as other reviewers have noted. However I like it a bit more than Angel as it is less harsh smelling in the patchouli note. Having said that though, I smell no flowers at all in Sweet Darling. On me, I get the cotton candy sweetness along with the patchouli and vanilla. It lasts reasonably well and has a pretty frosted mauve bottle. If you don't like sweet fragrances you'll hate this and if you're an Angel hater you probably won't like this either. Although it's nice, I won't be re-purchasing as there are plenty of other fragrances out there that are much better - I would have given it a 3.5 if I could have.
I completely regret buying this perfume. The smell, which in the beginning smelled wonderful, now smells just tacky and terrible. It took like a week, and then I was sick of it (I'm usually NOT like that). The lasting power is also NON-EXISTENT - within one hour I simply can't smell it anymore. Not a trace! I'll never, never, NEVER repurchase.
This is a really lovely fragrance, sweet but not too cloying. It does remind me a little of Angel, but only a little. I am happy with how long this lasts too. I spray this on me in a morning and can still smell this on me when I get home from work. I am no good at describing fragrance notes, the other reviewers have done a good job of that. Normally I change my fragrances when I get to the bottom of a bottle, but this one I just might replace. I dropped my bottle on the floor and now it doesn't spray so I can't use the rest of this up. I was really sad to break this, and I have never felt this way about a fragrance before! continued >>
I own loads of perfume...this is one of my top five. Infact at the moment i can't get enough of it! [with that and Black xs] A lovely fun sweet scent.
Better than most of the vanilla perfumes i know and yes it does remind me of Angel for sure. A mega rave from me. Well done Kylie. :)
Nicer than the original Darling which didn't interest me. Sweet Darling is nice but the top and mid notes are too light. At the first spray its very sweet and a bit fruity, but within a minute it runs away leaving me with just the base notes of sweet vanilla, light powder, musk and patchoulli. This does last all day and people have commented that its lovely or nice, but I wish the sweetness lasted longer. The Patchoulli part reminded me of Avons "Surreal Garden", which gets sweeter and better as it wears, the opposite of this.
FAMILY: Floral-Fruity-Oriental Gourmand
TOP NOTES: Passion fruit, freesia
MID NOTES: Boronia, cotton candy
TOP NOTES: Vanilla, Australian sandalwood, patchouli

We would like to create a data base of different artcrafts techniques. In this way we hope to make art lessons more interesting for the pupils and allow them for finding new friends from other countries.
On Monday, 17.05.2010 I had a presentation of eTwinning in my school. Pupils now know a lot about our project and want to work in it.
I hope that they will enter our TwinSpace and try to talk with pupils from other coutries about our project.
I have made the map with all schools, which are taking part in our project. You can find it at the "Poland, Nasza Szkola" activity.
I have put some photos of our art and the presentation about modular origami at the activity of "Poland: Nasza Szkoła, Koszalin"
You can see the pictures of pupils and their crafts at the activities of "Presentation of Romania: Scoala Speciala Nr. 2, Buzau".
At the "Bulgaria: OU Filip Sakelarievich, Svishtov" activities, you can see now beautiful art, made in technique: "pointillism".

4 New Social Apps Your Phone Needs IMMEDIATELY
1. Imoji
The geniuses over at Imoji have created the ULTIMATE app for every emoji lover: the ability to turn any picture into your very own personal emoji! You can create custom emojis of your best side-eye selfie to send your BFF who just texted an ex, or a priceless pic of your fave celeb (aka Harry styles) to your fellow fangirlsthe options are *endless*. It's super easy to create the emoji sticker, and as soon as you have your masterpiece, you can text it the same way you'd send a picture. Get ready to up your texting game!
Like sending emojis, sending GIFs are also a very #important part of your daily texting game. But life would be a whole lot easier if you could make a quick reaction GIF on the fly that you can send to your friends immediately. Enter Phhhoto, the super-simple new camera app that lets you create moving pictures straight from your iPhone (aka a quick and easy GIF-like video). All you do is pop open the app and hold down the button as it rapidly shoots a burst of photos, similar to a photo booth. You can download and save the GIFs, or share them on your social networks. Katy Perry is already a mega-fan of the app and has been posting some pretty epic PHHHOTOs already, so you know you're gonna love it:
http://t.co/lFT3mvkWSK #PHHHOTO

3. Socialist
If you're the list type of personwhether you create your own countless lists of things to remember, or like searching Yelp-style sites for ideas of what to trythen this new app is going to be your latest obsession. You can create lists of your favorite things (best ice cream shops to try this summer), collaborate on lists with your friends (Netflix shows we need to binge-watch), and follow other expert lists of the things you love. Not only that, but it brings in all of the info about the music, movies, shows, or places on your listsfrom links to buy tickets for movies to ice cream shop ratings from yelpso you have all of the info you'll ever need, right in one app!
4. Swarm
If you're in a group text with 10 of your best friends, you know how hard it can be to try and make plans with everyone. With Foursquare's recently launched app Swarm, you can say so long to the annoying hassle of making plans. With the new app, you can check-in wherever you are (if you want your friends to know what you're up to) and can easily see who's nearby, but the best part is their new "making plans" feature. Want to meet up with your friends at Starbucks after class? Just use the app to make a "plan" telling everyone you're headed to study for the final at Starbucks. It'll alert your friends on the app so they can decide to "join" the planand you can add comments with the time/location and see who else is coming. Plus, it's the perfect way to sneakily let your crush know where you'll be and ask him to join in a casual way!
Are there any other new apps you're obsessing over? Share them in the comments!

Dr. Maynard seems to be at the top of his game in this regard… Join us in this fascinating conversation with Elliott Maynard, Ph.D. about his book, "Brave New Mind, Living in a Future-Science World." www.blogtalkradio.com/i-am-u-radio/2015/01/12/brave-new-mind-a-conversation-with-the-author-dr-elliott-maynard Interview with TV Host Ron James, Elliott Maynard and Jerome Glenn of the Millennium Project Don't miss this interview with Ivolve TV Host, Ron James as he features Dr. Elliott Maynard and Futurist and Global Policy Maker, Jerome Glenn.

In this interesting mix this insightful trio attempt to work out solutions for the 15 Greatest Challenges Facing Humanity, as conceived and developed by the Millennium Project: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX2WcGGK1Ug&feature=youtu.be Dr. Elliott Maynard: Consciousness Scientist and Conceptual Designer of A New Future Paradigm An Interview on I Dare You Radio The rise of consciousness is speeding up, and there are those who are looking far beyond into the realms of Quantum Field Science for the future and into designing a way we can all get along together better than ever, on all levels. Dr. Elliott Maynard, author of Brave New Mind, gives us a mega-positive look at our future – for you and me, improved and enhanced environments, and the way we teach our children. I had to ask – what did the companies he does consulting for think of his combination of deep science, Quantum ideas … and woowoo stuff like intuition, channeling, animal communication, teleportation and telepathy? You may be surprised by his reply. During a period of time when his wife was helping create a school for the Hopi Indians that incorporates their world view in the curriculum with what they need to know to get along with the 'white man's' world, he created something called the University of the Future. You'll also find out what special place he has for women in our future – I think you'll like it. http://idareyouradio.com/ |

Big Audacious Prayers
I'm reading Mark Batterson's latest book – The Circle Maker: Drawing Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest Fears. I seriously love this book so much I would wear it if it were a new outfit!
The circle maker is a man named Honi. He's not mentioned in the Holy Bible, but he is found in the Talmud. He was a scholar, a man with a special relationship with God, and famous for praying for rain.
Here are 7 nuggets from Chapter 2 I don't want to forget.
- Bold prayers honor God and God honors bold prayers.
- If your prayers aren't impossible to you, the are insulting to God. Why? Because they don't require divine intervention.
- The greatest moments in life are the miraculous moments when human impotence and divine omnipotence intersect. And they intersect when you draw a circle around the impossible situations in our lives and invite God to intervene.
- God is for you. If you don't believe that you will pray small timid prayers; if you do believe it, you will pray big audacious prayers.
- Who you become is determined by how you pray. Ultimately the transcript of your prayers becomes the script of your life.
- God is not a genie in a bottle and His wish is not your command. His command better be your wish. If it's not, you won't be drawing prayer circles, you'll end up walking in circles.
- The goal is glorifying God by drawing circles around the promises, miracles, and dreams He wants for you.
If that doesn't motivate you to kick your prayers up a notch, I don't know what will!
Right now I am praying big audacious prayers for several people I love dearly. God's timing is amazing. He brought this book to me knowing I needed the nudge.
Are you praying big, audacious prayers? If not, check out this book!

Klezmer Mountain Boys By Marty Lipp Published September 1, 2005 Eastern European klezmer and American bluegrass would seem to have little in common. The Klezmer Mountain Boys demonstrate that the two can get along quite well together. Klezmer
Most musicians would be mortified if their audiences laughed at them when they began their set, but Margot Leverett has come to expect it.
Inevitably, as her band, the Klezmer Mountain Boys, begin playing a klezmer tune then suddenly switch, without missing a beat, into a bluegrass tune, the audience will laugh at the abrupt musical leap.
It's a natural reaction since, at first glance, there could barely seem to be two styles more different than klezmer and bluegrass: one the product of the Old World's Jewish ghettos of Eastern Europe; the other, the product of the rural backwoods of the southern United States.
The Klezmer Mountain Boys' eponymous debut album on Traditional Crossroads proves, however, that there are some strong commonalities. Both genres are not secular music, Leverett noted, but come from ethnic groups where religion is a strong influence. Both are also the product of people who led hard lives and for whom the music was an expression of joy and for marking celebrations.
"Both kinds of music have that mixture of laughter and tears," Leverett said. "They complement each other. They bring out something in each other you might not otherwise notice."
The unlikely project grew out of Leverett's own exploration of various types of fiddle tunes for transposition to the clarinet. Leverett—the original clarinet player in the Klezmatics—began to wonder how her playing would sound accompanied by a string band, as opposed to the usual klezmer instrumentation.
She contacted an old friend, mandolin player Barry Mitterhoff, and began to assemble a band of players who had experience in both klezmer and bluegrass. Their first meeting in New York was canceled in the wake of the attacks of 9/11, but was eventually rescheduled several months later. The musicians were still stunned from the attacks, Leverett said, and were barely up for playing, much less playing the jokey juxtaposition of which they had been talking.
When they finally sat down to play, Leverett said, they were surprised to find that "the fun idea was just gone. This was something altogether else. It was really soulful and it was really deep."
In subsequent get-togethers, the band members would toss their various sheet music on the table and instinctively mix and match tunes as they went along. "It was like looking for the right key to fit a lock," Leverett said. Instead of playing familiar tunes from the klezmer repertoire, Leverett brought songs that were given to her by a group of Russian musicians she had serendipitously been matched with for a short tour of the United States a few years ago.

Tucson City, Arizona State Records
Major incorporated suburbs of Tucson include Oro Valley and Marana northwest of the city, Sahuarita south of the city, and South Tucson in an enclave south of downtown. Communities in the vicinity of Tucson (some within or overlapping the city limits) include Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, Flowing Wells, Tanque Verde, Tortilita, New Pascua, Sahuarita and Vail. Towns outside the Tucson metro area include Benson to the southeast, Catalina and Oracle to the north, and Green Valley to the south.
The English name Tucson derives from the Spanish name of the city, Tucsón [tukˈson], which was borrowed from the O'odham name Cuk Ṣon [tʃʊk ʂɔːn], meaning '(at the) base of the black [hill]', a reference to an adjacent volcanic mountain. Tucson is sometimes referred to as 'The Old Pueblo.'

Homeowners, co-op owners and building owners and landlords from Forest Hills, Rego Park, Kew Gardens, parts of Maspeth, Richmond, Elmhurst in Queens are invited to attend a Thursday November 2nd Owners' Night at P.S. 144 organized by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The event is co-sponsored by Council Member Melinda R. Katz, who represents District 29 and the neighborhoods above.
The event will provide information on the availability of HPD services such as low-interest loans, housing violations correction and assistance with mortgages and refinancing as well as HPD courses including building management and maintenance, expense reduction strategies and owner-tenant relations. Attendees will watch a DVD entitled "Services for Residential Property Owners" that presents HPD's services and rehabilitation loan programs. A panel of experts from HPD will then answer questions from the audience.
HPD Commissioner Shaun Donovan said, "Many property owners are unaware of the assistance that is available for maintaining and improving their properties. The Owners' Nights provide opportunities to put people in touch with assistance they can use. Maintaining and preserving New York City's housing stock and encouraging investment in infrastructure improvements to homes and apartment buildings is a fundamental objective of Mayor Bloomberg's New Housing Marketplace Plan, a $7.5 billion plan to create and preserve 165,000 affordable housing units for 500,000 New Yorkers over ten years."
"HPD's Owners' Night provides valuable information on resources and services on housing available to all NYC tenants and homeowners. We thank HPD for coming to the community to share this important information and we hope Queens residents can take full advantage of this opportunity," said Council Member Katz.
HPD's Owner Services Program travels from borough to borough, educating residential property owners about the availability of low-interest loans, free educational classes on subjects such as lead paint, energy conservation and fair housing as well as free owner counseling. Launched in February 2001, Owners' Nights in neighborhoods such as Morrisania in the Bronx and Park Slope in Brooklyn have drawn more than 8,000 property owners to events across New York City.
WHAT: Owners' Night, a program by the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development
WHEN: Thursday November 2nd, 2006, from 6:30pm-8:00pm
WHERE: P.S. 144, 93-02 69th Ave. Forest Hills, NY 11375
DIRECTIONS: Q23 Bus Via 69th Ave. To Kessel St. School Is On 69th Ave. (Use Kessel Street Entrance)

Yeah--we already tried that at Abu Graib.
The problem with Hollywood has several layers that contribute to the origin story fatigue issue:
1) Marketing
"Give me something I can sell" is the mantra of the salesman. Hollywood executives are in it for the money. Period. They don't give a flying fuck about the integrity of the story, character development, story arc, catharsis, or any of that artistic stuff that makes a good movie good. They think they can pay the rainmakers to make it rain craft be damned. If their marketing firms give them research data that says "teenaged vampires and werewolves is the sweet spot," they will make those movies. They are looking for projects that fit market analysis. When the average feature film marketing budget is $50M, your movie better be a rainmaker by their voodoo or it's not getting a green light for development much less going into production.
2) Branding
Because "the brand" is ever so important in our increasingly consumer-conscious pop culture, teenaged boys between 13 and 25 are the target audience for a "Brand" like Spiderman or any other comic book coming to the big screen. They will milk that cow dry and grind the meat for sequel burgers.
Here's where your fatigue starts to set in.
3) Lost in Translation
Production companies have become mills that hire production teams to crank out scripts for material we've already seen. (franchise fatigue).
The problem with comic books becoming movies is that the screenplay genre often generates a completely different storytelling form from the original work. Comics and graphic novels have a very unique and staccato language of storytelling that is negated by the transition to live action. The art of the comic or graphic novel is the craft of telling the story without telling you too much. This economy of words and pictures leaves much to the imagination--an abstract economy where the reader experiences the story in a world co-created between his imagination and the artist's craft. When you jump to to big screen, the viewers' intimacy of the details is hijacked by the director and the viewer is no longer an active participant. For this reason, I think adaptations of comic, graphics novels, and even regular novels will always disappoint those familiar with the prior art.
That said, producers, writers, and directors think that they can do better a better job than our imaginations so they keep trying to find formulas, remakes, reboots, and new origin stories to keep us interested when, really, it's already a losing battle for the reasons I posit.
This isn't to say that there are no good comic book movies--but most will agree that there are, in fact, very few in that category.
Audiences keep paying money to see movies they usually dont' like. We're enabling their behavior. Well, the 13-25 yr old males are anyways.
Good point--one that was intended to be the understood other half of the argument I was making. I think the "over" part is probably describing the large percentage of users who fall into the unproductive category I mentioned. Programmers and content providers are a small percentage of diligent users; the unproductive types swarm in, graze until the grass is gone, and then move on.
Like all things pop, social media and the digital lifestyle are subject to the same boom and bust that dooms all fads as ephemeral. BUT Prince probably should have chose his words more carefully or taken his Geritol.
I used to go to this really nice coffee shop years ago. Then, coffee became really popular and suddenly everyone discovered how cool "my" coffee shop was. The hipster-wannabe in-crowd popular types came in and didn't buy coffee. They just hung out to be seen for hours on end. I couldn't find a place to sit with my laptop to get any work done so I stopped going. Between the loss of the real paying customers (regulars who bought by the cup and bought roasted beans) and the complaints by neighboring businesses and residences about parking, they lost their lease and had to shut down. Ruined by success.
I'm sure I had a point...
Prince is right--sort of. A steady diet of instant gratification is bad for you. Make fun of his religion, sexuality, and eccentricities, but he has a body of work to show for his efforts and is successful by any measure. Most of us internet dweebs troll comments and dispense our own pious judgements from our own corners of Loservania but here's a guy with some credibility making a somewhat valid comment about social media--eccentric as it might be.
I think the internet is making us stupid if not just plain lazy. If you think about it, all the time we spend engaged with a glowing screen is kind of ridiculous when there are so many other life-enriching things we could be doing instead.
That doesn't make the internet or gadgets bad--it just spotlights our own weird constant need to escape "real life" by stimulating our brain's addictive center with a steady stream of mostly meaningless information.
Think about that every time you text, check Facebook status changes, click refresh on your e-mail client, reload news sites, or troll slashdot comments, and/or look at your smartphone (again) when you could be paying attention to your friends and family with real face-time.
It's got to be a weird if even Prince thinks it's kind of creepy, right?

I agree that the students should be well-versed in the sciences but the curriculum should include a diverse range of disciplines. Kids should be doing well in all courses for that matter. However, I don't agree that the problem is with limited time or with not enough academic focus in the classroom. I suggest that the problem is more systemic to our current culture of instant gratification and instant information and too many distractions and pressures outside of the classroom.
With the advent of "no child left behind," the peer groups of school-aged kids become watered down to the lowest common denominator. Kids who are not getting reinforcement at home from parents do not do their homework or value education. As a consequence, the classroom becomes unruly, distracted, and overrun with apathetic students--both bright students who are bored while the undisciplined ones play catch-up. Increasing the workload or paring down the curriculum does not solve that problem. Of course, increasing the breadth and depth with more stuff to learn doesn't either, but I digress.
Developmentally, middle-school (formerly junior high) and high school are times when forming peer groups, friends, and social networks are very important to kids as they learn to navigate those social structures. With cell phones, Twitter, e-mail, texting, and whatever the communication du jour may be, come distractions. Television, video games, and the internet also provide lots and lots of stimuli that is counter-intuitive to the needs of our school curriculums: they require focused studying and our kids are adapting to a rapid-fire short-attention method of dealing with stimulation and information.
My point is this: I think there are more layers to the education problem than just what's on the curriculum. Kids are not learning because, in my opinion, they are not equipped to learn or study nor do they have an atmosphere in the classroom or at home that is conducive to learning.
Perhaps I might be contradicting my earlier comments but I think the kids that are doing well will continue to do well and can handle a well-balanced academic plan that includes arts, sciences, and letters. We shouldn't remove material for the sake of those who can't keep up.
Look--this isn't about teaching kids to be religious but rather putting things in a less subjective perspective. Teaching a course in the "Theory of Evolution" as a science course is 100% appropriate. Teaching creationism as a science course is 100% wrong--religion and creationism belong to the realm of social sciences and humanities because of the political, historical, and philosophical contexts. Ignoring the world's largest religions and their impact on humanity because one doesn't "believe" in them is ignorant and small-minded. A "World Religions" course is 100% appropriate in public schools. Teaching a child which one to follow is not.
I'm not suggesting that science courses be taught differently but rather changing the method by which we expose school children to the world around them. Moving Creationism away from the "hard" sciences seems to be the logical compromise for dealing with the faith versus science argument.
Wouldn't you prefer a well-rounded education that includes an objective perspective of religion, science, and the socio-political world? I would.
If included in the arts, sciences, letters, kids also learned that Islamists have been fighting wars amongst themselves since the death of Muhammed, that the creation from the Bible is kind of a hodge-podge of religious ideas that trace back to Zoroastrianism, and the Darwin actually believed in God, I think kids would have a better understanding of other cultures and each other.
In the end, that's what education is all about.
In the end, it's all about education not being right or wrong.
I wish both sides could understand that being educated and informed doesn't necessarily equate belief, endorsement, or apostasy. You can study Christianity (or any religion) without believing in it and you can study evolutionary science (or any other scientific theory) without believing in it. Ignoring the other view is just, well...ignorant.
I think it's best to approach education from a perspective of learning and understanding rather than discriminating against information in which you do not believe while promoting one's own agenda or belief system. That's not education--that's brainwashing.
That kind of thinking led to the dark ages.
Ignorance reigns amongst the absolutists.
It's not about science or common sense--it's all about billing the insurance companies. That's how hospitals and clinic "businesses" make money. Doctors order tests because they are told to do so as often as they write prescriptions because they get "incentives" to do so from pharmaceutical companies.
It's all about money.
Everyone can be taught to sculpt: Michelangelo would have had to be taught how not to. So it is with the great programmers.
