Phantom of the Opera Musical???

Hello Again…
I was wondering this time if anyone knows where to get a copy of the home video of the musical Phantom of the Opera “The Opera”.
I know they have one for “Cats”, and “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat”, and also for “Jesus Christ Superstar”, all of which are the entire Opera, on a video (Usually VHS) just for you. You see, I am one of the unfortunate souls who wasn’t alive in the 1980’s, so I missed the show in it’s prime. (I’m only 16). I have the CD, and I can play every song, and just about the entire score on piano, including the parts, where they’re just talking, melodically, of course. I am dying to see it in front of me, in action. I would just go to see the Opera, but it wouldn’t be satisfying enough, for I would miss the presence of mostly Mr. Michael Crawford, but also the rest of the cast. So the only possible way to see it for myself is to invent a time machine, or find a recorded version. This way seems alot easier. Please help… Thank you…

Hi!
The original cast plays might be a bit hard to find because of when they where released. However I HAVE seen TV specials about the Phantom where they show clips of a young Sarah Brightman rehearsing, and then bits of the play. I assume there MUST be a complete video.
Specifically about the Phantom, they did release video clips of the songs with Brightman and Crawford. I remember them being played over and over TV channels like THE BOX (maybe you’re also too young to remember that!), but they do exist!

I checked YouTube a bit and found several. Here’s the clip of Music of the night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqKuKqmcMIk
I know it’s not the same as the actual play, but it’s a start with the stars YOU want!
And…. by the way… you are totally right: nothing beats the original casts! It’s really refreshing to find a 16 year old with “historical” knowledge, so to speak!

Here are a few more clips that might be helpful:

Ed hardy t-shirt has ‘By christian audiger’ down the side under the arm pit. is this real?

I bought my ed hardy t shirt from the ed hardy store and paid £100 for it. However, the front says ‘Ed hardy by christian audiger’ above the design as normal, and then there is a smaller print of ‘by christian audiger’ longways on the side. it also has the relevant signs at the back (don ed hardy designs etc). do you think it is genuine?!?!

Yes. Most if not all of them have it down the side and then the same small “don ed hardy designs” on the lower back side .

And to that first answer – that is completely inncorrect. Christian Audiger is a designer. In 2004, Christian Audigier licensed the rights to produce the Ed Hardy clothing line, which is based on Hardy’s imagery. Prior to the Ed Hardy clothing line, Audigier was the Head Designer at Von Dutch Originals, which marketed the imagery of Kenny Howard. He designed these shirts based on Don Ed Hardy’s tattoo imagery. Don Ed Hardy is in fact a real person and is still alive today

Christian Ethics

Christian ethics is in harmony with theology. A Christian places ethics in a moral order revealed by the divine creator though both general and special revelation. And he knows that this order is the only true source of morality. For a Christian, the moral order is as real as the physical order, some would say more real. (2nd Corinthians 4:18).

Relativism and our common Moral Heritage
Christian ethics in one sense is simply an expansion in a moral order that is generally revealed to all men. The general view of the ethical sense itself and the similarities within the norms of diverse cultures suggests a common moral heritage for all mankind which materialism or naturalism cannot explain.

Without a standard, there could be no justice, without an ethical absolute, there could be no morality, therefore one can conclude that some moral absolute exist outside of man.

This absolute standard outside of man is apparent throughout mankind’s entire attitude toward morality. And even the secular man who believes in relative morality will agree that justice; love and courage are always moral hence suggesting that certain values of judgments are universal to all mankind.

Christian morality flows from the nature of the creator through the nature of created things. It is not meant to create difficulties for mankind. But the simple formula is this, God does not tolerate evil and since He is holy, we must act the same way in order to be connect to Him. Remember, we do need Him and the Christian ethics relies on God and His word for the full explanation of the moral order.

The Christian Response to secular ethics
For the Christian, morality is a lifestyle for glorifying God. So the now created “new morality” by some thoughts, beliefs, and ethical theories is just an excuse to do as one pleases under the cover of morality and man should have learned that the repercussion of such is death. Schaeffer insists that there must be an absolute if there is to be a moral order and real values. For the Christian, God is the Ultimate and only source of morality, anything asides that is blasphemy. So therefore, the Christian should be aware of all the false beliefs of secular ethics so that he can avoid the inconsistencies of unfounded ethical ideas. All secular ethical codes are deviations of God’s code and should be recognized as such.

Christian ethics and special relativism
Absolutes are revealed to Man in the Bible, giving adequate specific values and guidelines to have a sense of what is right and what is wrong on all situations. In which the Ten Commandments is the most obvious, it also gives us every details of Jesus Christ so as to give us a better understanding of the implications of this order.

The combinations of the ethical exhortations in the Sermon on the Mount and the ethical pronouncements of the Old Testament create a very specific ethical order. And most of all, Christians have the perfect role model to dictate the proper moral course of action: Jesus Christ, as revealed to mankind in the Bible. From all these, man can never excuse himself for doing wrong because he has not been told what is morally correct.

Responsibility in Christian Ethics
“Love the Lord your God with all your Heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with your entire mind, and love your neighbor as yourself (Luke10:27). Thus, in a broad sense, the responsibility of a Christian is to love God and Love his brother. This should include spiritual, physical, social, mental, psychological care and any other possible way; thereby solving all ethical debates on morality. Nothing more explains best.

What does this statement on Max Weber mean?

Weber affirms that a politician cannot only be a man of “true Christian ethic” (understood in terms “turning the other cheek”). The political realm is no realm for saints. A politician should marry the ethic of ultimate ends with an ethic of responsibility.

please view www.bahai.org and see how the clergy is abrogated. clergy doesnt have society’s interest at heart. they expect society to abide by their rules. this is totally irrelevant in view of science and technology where progress is changing the face of society. hence the archaic laws of the clergy [not necessarily of religion] should be abrogated/ignored. politics is too complicated for the simple minded straight forward clergy to comprehend.

If Christianity is true, why did it take over ONE THOUSAND years for Native Americans to hear about it?

Jesus Christ being the savior of the ENTIRE planet and EVERY soul that ever lived is NO small detail, so why didn’t God let other people outside that part of the world know sooner?

It took you TWO THOUSAND years.

The majority of people in the US, for one, didn’t know what was a Muslims from Islam, and some still make the mistake when they ask them a question. Until OBL visited us with our planes. Now, some people think they know it, and others, still don’t.
The first religion on Earth was Buddhism. How many people know about it. Not many. Does that make it false. No.

Not that I agree with you that it took A THOUSAND years for the Native Americans to hear about it.

Original Chinese Gospel Song – Amazing Grace (奇妙恩典)

India -Unity in Diversity

Indian Culture:
The culture of India has been shaped by the long history of India, its unique geography and the absorption of customs, traditions and ideas from some

of its neighbours as well as by preserving its ancient heritages, which were formed during the Indus Valley Civilization and evolved further during the

Vedic age, rise and decline of Buddhism, Golden age, Muslim conquests and European colonization. India does not have a strong uniform national

culture. India’s great diversity of cultural practices, languages, customs, and traditions are examples of this unique co-mingling over the past five

millennium. The various religions and traditions of India that were created by these amalgamations have influenced other parts of the world too. Most

Indians emphasize the country’s cultural diversity, tolerance of difference, and receptiveness to foreign influences.
 
Religion:
India is the birth place of Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. Dharmic religions, also known as Indian religions, is

a major form of world religions next to the Abrahamic ones. Today, Hinduism and Buddhism are the world’s third- and fourth-largest religions

respectively, with around 1.4 billion followers altogether.
India is one of the most religiously diverse nations in the world, with some of the most deeply religious societies and cultures. Religion still plays a

central and definitive role in the life of most of its people.
The religion of more than 80.4% of the people is Hinduism. Islam is practiced by around 13.4% of all Indians. Sikhism, Jainism and especially

Buddhism are influential not only in India but across the world. Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Judaism and the Bahá’í Faith are also influential but their

numbers are smaller. Despite the strong role of religion in Indian life, atheism and agnostics also have visible influence along with a self-ascribed

tolerance to other faiths.

Society:
According to Eugene M. Makar, the traditional Indian culture is defined by relatively strict social hierarchy. He also mentions that from an early age,

children are reminded of their roles and places in society. This is reinforced by the fact that many believe gods and spirits have integral and functional

role in determining their life. Several differences such as religion divide culture. However, far more powerful division is the traditional Hindu

bifurcation into non-polluting and polluting occupations. Strict social taboos have governed these groups for thousands of years.In recent years,

particularly in cities, some of these lines have blurred and sometimes even disappeared. Nuclear family is becoming central to Indian culture.

Important family relations extend to as far as gotra, the mainly patrilinear lineage or clan assigned to a Hindu at birth.In rural areas it is common that

three or four generations of the family live under the same roof. Patriarch often resolves family issues.
Among developing countries, India has low levels of occupational and geographic mobility. People choose same occupations as their parents and

rarely move geographically in the society.

Family:
India for ages has had a prevailing tradition of the joint family system. It’s a system under which even extended members of a family like one’s parents,

children, the children’s spouses and their offspring, etc. live together. The elder-most, usually the male member is the head in the joint Indian family

system who makes all important decisions and rules, whereas other family members abide by it.The average nuclear family is relatively small, with

only one or two children. Toddlers receive much parental attention. Many children are cared for primarily by their parents in the parental home.
Arranged marriages have the tradition in Indian society for centuries. Even today, overwhelming majority of Indians have their marriages planned by

their parents and other respected family-members, with the consent of the bride and groom.Arranged matches were made after taking into account

factors such as age, height, personal values and tastes, the backgrounds of their families (wealth, social standing) and their castes and the astrological

compatibility of the couples’ horoscopes. Monogamy is the only marriage form allowed.
In India, the marriage is thought to be for lifeand the divorce rate is extremely low — 1.1% compared with about 50% in the United States. The

arranged marriages generally have a much lower divorce rate. The divorce rates have risen significantly in recent years:
“Opinion is divided over what the phenomenon means: for traditionalists the rising numbers portend the breakdown of society while, for some

modernists, they speak of a healthy new empowerment for women.”
Although child marriage was outlawed in 1860, it is continued to be practiced in some rural parts of India.According to UNICEF’s “State of the

World’s Children-2009” report, 47% of India’s women aged 20–24 were married before the legal age of 18, with 56% in rural areas. The report also

showed that 40% of the world’s child marriages occur in India.
Indian names are based on a variety of systems and naming conventions, which vary from region to region. Names are also influenced by religion and

caste and may come from religion or epics. India’s population speaks a wide variety of languages.
Although women and men are equal before the law and the trend toward gender equality has been noticeable, women and men still occupy distinct

functions in Indian society.Woman’s role in the society is often to perform household works and pro bono community work.This low rate of

participation has ideological and historical reasons. Women and women’s issues appear only 7-14% of the time in news programs. In most Indian

families, women do not own any property in their own names, and do not get a share of parental property. Due to weak enforcement of laws protecting

them, women continue to have little access to land and property. In many families, especially rural ones, the girls and women face nutritional

discrimination within the family, and are anaemic and malnourished.They still lag behind men in terms of income and job status.

Customs:
Namaste, Namaskar or Namaskaram is a common spoken greeting or salutation in the Indian subcontinent. Namaskar is considered a slightly more

formal version than namaste but both express deep respect. It is commonly used in India and Nepal by Hindus, Jains and Buddhists, and many continue

to use this outside the Indian subcontinent. In Indian and Nepali culture, the word is spoken at the beginning of written or verbal communication.

However, the same hands folded gesture is made wordlessly upon departure. In yoga, namaste is said to mean “The light in me honors the light in you,”

as spoken by both the yoga instructor and yoga students.
Taken literally, it means “I bow to you”. The word is derived from Sanskrit (namas): to bow, obeisance, reverential salutation, and respectand (te): “to

you”.
When spoken to another person, it is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed

upwards, in front of the chest. The gesture can also be performed wordlessly and carry the same meaning.

Festivals:
India, being a multi-cultural and multi-religious society, celebrates holidays and festivals of various religions. The three national holidays in India, the

Independence Day, the Republic Day and the Gandhi Jayanti, are celebrated with zeal and enthusiasm across India. In addition, many states and regions

have local festivals depending on prevalent religious and linguistic demographics. Popular religious festivals include the Hindu festivals of Diwali,

Ganesh Chaturthi, Durga puja, Holi, Rakshabandhan and Dussehra. Several harvest festivals, such as Sankranthi, Pongal and Onam, are also fairly

popular. Certain festivals in India are celebrated by multiple religions. Notable examples include Diwali which celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains

and Buddh Purnima which is celebrated by Buddhists and Hindus. Islamic festivals, such Eid ul-Fitr, Eid al-Adha and Ramadan, are celebrated by

Muslims across India. Adding colours to the culture of India, the Dree Festival is one of the tribal festivals of India celebrated by the Apatanis of the

Ziro valley of Arunachal Pradesh, which is the easternmost state of this country.

Cuisine:
The multiple families of Indian cuisine are characterized by their sophisticated and subtle use of many spices and herbs. Each family of this cuisine is

characterized by a wide assortment of dishes and cooking techniques. Though a significant portion of Indian food is vegetarian, many traditional Indian

dishes also include chicken, goat, lamb, fish, and other meats.
Food is an important part of Indian culture, playing a role in everyday life as well as in festivals. Indian cuisine varies from region to region, reflecting

the varied demographics of the ethnically diverse subcontinent. Generally, Indian cuisine can be split into five categories: North, South, East,West

Indian and North-eastern India . Despite this diversity, some unifying threads emerge. Varied uses of spices are an integral part of food preparation,

and are used to enhance the flavor of a dish and create unique flavors and aromas. Cuisine across India has also been influenced by various cultural

groups that entered India throughout history, such as the Persians, Mughals, and European colonists. Though the tandoor originated in Central Asia,

Indian tandoori dishes, such as chicken tikka made with Indian ingredients, enjoy widespread popularity.
Indian cuisine is one of the most popular cuisines across the globe. Historically, Indian spices and herbs were one of the most sought after trade

commodities. The spice trade between India and Europe led to the rise and dominance of Arab traders to such an extent that European explorers, such

as Vasco da Gama and Christopher Columbus, set out to find new trade routes with India leading to the Age of Discovery. The popularity of curry,

which originated in India, across Asia has often led to the dish being labeled as the “pan-Asian” dish.

Clothing:
Traditional Indian clothing for women are the saris and also Ghaghra Cholis (Lehengas). For men, traditional clothes are the Dhoti, pancha/ veshti or

Kurta. Bombay, also known as Mumbai, is one of India’s fashion capitals. In some village parts of India, traditional clothing mostly will be worn.

Delhi, Mumbai,Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Pune are all places for people who like to shop. In southern India the men wear long, white sheets of cloth

called dhoti in English and in Tamil. Over the dhoti, men wear shirts, t-shirts, or anything else. Women wear a sari, a long sheet of colourful cloth

with patterns. This is draped over a simple or fancy blouse. This is worn by young ladies and woman. Little girls wear a pavada. A pavada is a long

skirt worn under a blouse. Both are often gaily patterned. Bindi is part of the women’s make-up. Traditionally, the red bindi (or sindhur) was worn

only by the married Hindu women, but now it has become a part of women’s fashion. Indo-western clothing is the fusion of Western and

Subcontinental fashion. Churidar, Dupatta, Gamchha, Kurta, Mundum Neriyathum, Sherwani,uttariya are among other clothes.

Literature:
The earliest works of Indian literature were orally transmitted. Sanskrit literature begins with the Rig Veda a collection of sacred hymns dating to the

period 1500–1200 BCE. The Sanskrit epics Ramayana and Mahabharata appeared towards the end of the first millennium BCE. Classical Sanskrit

literature flourished in the first few centuries of the first millennium CE, as did the Tamil Sangam literature.
In the medieval period, literature in Kannada and Telugu appears in the 9th and 11th centuries respectively, followed by the first Malayalam works in

the 12th century. During this time, literature in the Bengali, Marathi, and various dialects of Hindi, Persian and Urdu began to appear as well.
Some of the most important authors from India are Rabindranath Tagore, Ramdhari Singh ‘Dinkar’, Subramania Barathi, Kuvempu, Bankim Chandra

Chattopadhyay, Michael Madhusudan Dutt, Munshi Premchand, Muhammad Iqbal, Devaki Nandan Khatri became well known. In contemporary India,

among the writers who have received critical acclaim are: Girish Karnad, Agyeya, Nirmal Verma, Kamleshwar, Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, Indira

Goswami, Mahasweta Devi, Amrita Pritam, Maasti Venkatesh Ayengar, Qurratulain Hyder and Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai and others have received

critical acclaim.
In contemporary Indian literature, there are two major literary awards; these are the Sahitya Akademi Fellowship and the Jnanpith Award. Seven

Jnanpith awards each have been awarded in Kannada, six in Hindi, five in Bengali, four in Malayalam, three each in and Marathi, Gujarati, Urdu and

Oriya.

Poetry:
India has strong traditions of poetry ever since the Rigveda, as well as prose compositions. Poetry is often closely related to musical traditions, and

much of poetry can be attributed to religious movements. Writers and philosophers were often also skilled poets. In modern times, poetry has served

as an important non-violent tool of nationalism during the Indian freedom movement. A famous modern example of this tradition can be found in

such figures as Rabindranath Tagore and K. S. Narasimhaswamy in modern times and poets such as Basava (vachanas) , Kabir and Purandaradasa

(padas and devaranamas) in medieval times, as well as the epics of ancient times. Two examples of poetry from Tagore’s Gitanjali serve as the national

anthems of both India and Bangladesh.

Epics:
The Ramayana and Mahabharata are the oldest preserved and still well-known epics of India; some of their versions have been adopted as the epics of

Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. In addition, there are five epics in the classical Tamil language -they being

Silappadhikaram, Manimegalai, Seevaga-chintamani, Valayaapathi, Kundalakesi. Other regional variations of them as well as unrelated epics include

the Tamil Kamba Ramayanam, in Kannada, the Pampa Bharata by Adikavi Pampa, Torave Ramayana by Kumara Valmiki and Karnata Bharata

KathaManjari by Kumaravyasa, Hindi Ramacharitamanasa, Malayalam Adhyathmaramayanam.

Music and Dance:
The music of India includes multiples varieties of religious, folk, popular, pop, and classical music. The oldest preserved examples of Indian music are

the melodies of the Samaveda that are still sung in certain Vedic ?rauta sacrifices. India’s classical music tradition is heavily influenced by Hindu texts.

It includes two distinct styles: Carnatic and Hindustani music. It is noted for the use of several Raga, melodic modes. it has a history spanning

millennia and it was developed over several eras. It remains instrumental to the religious inspiration, cultural expression and pure entertainment.
Purandaradasa is considered the “father of carnatic music” (Karnataka sangeeta pitamaha). He concluded his songs with a salutation to Lord Purandara

Vittala and is believed to have composed as many as 475,000songs in the Kannada language. However, only about 1000 are known today.
Indian dance too has diverse folk and classical forms. Among the well-known folk dances are the bhangra of the Punjab, the bihu of Assam, the chhau

of Jharkhand and Orissa, the ghoomar of Rajasthan, the dandiya and garba of Gujarat, the Yakshagana of Karnataka and lavani of Maharashtra and

Dekhnni of Goa. Eight dance forms, many with narrative forms and mythological elements, have been accorded classical dance status by India’s

National Academy of Music, Dance, and Drama. These are: bharatanatyam of the state of Tamil Nadu, kathak of Uttar Pradesh, kathakali and

mohiniattam of Kerala, kuchipudi of Andhra Pradesh, manipuri of Manipur, odissi of the state of Orissa and the sattriya of Assam.
Kalarippayattu or Kalari for short is considered one of the world’s oldest martial art. It is preserved in texts such as the Mallapurana. Kalari and other

later formed martial arts have been assumed by some to have traveled to China, like Buddhism, and eventually developing into Kung-fu. Other later

martial arts are Gatka,Pehlwani,and Malla-yuddha. There have been many great practitioners of Indian martial Arts including Bodhidharma who

supposedly brought Indian martial arts to China.

Paintings:
The earliest Indian paintings were the rock paintings of pre-historic times, the petroglyphs as found in places like Bhimbetka, some of which go back

to the Stone Age. Ancient texts outline theories of darragh and anecdotal accounts suggesting that it was common for households to paint their

doorways or indoor rooms where guests resided.
Cave paintings from Ajanta, Bagh, Ellora and Sittanavasal and temple paintings testify to a love of naturalism. Most early and medieval art in India is

Hindu, Buddhist or Jain. A freshly made coloured flour design (Rangoli) is still a common sight outside the doorstep of many (mostly South Indian)

Indian homes.
Madhubani painting, Mysore painting, Rajput painting, Tanjore painting, Mughal painting are some notable Genres of Indian Art; while Raja Ravi

Varma, Nandalal Bose, Geeta Vadhera,Jamini Roy and B.Venkatappa are some modern painters. Among the present day artists, Atul Dodiya, Bose

Krishnamacnahri, Devajyoti Ray and Shibu Natesan represent a new era of Indian art where global art shows direct amalgamation with Indian classical

styles. These recent artists have acquired international recognition. Devajyoti Ray’s paintings have been acquired by the National Fine Arts Museum in

Cuba and so have been the works of some of the new generation artists.
Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, Mysore Palace has on display several good Indian paintings.

Sculptures:
The first sculptures in India date back to the Indus Valley civilization, where stone and bronze figures have been discovered. Later, as Hinduism,

Buddhism, and Jainism developed further, India produced some extremely intricate bronzes as well as temple carvings. Some huge shrines, such as the

one at Ellora were not constructed by using blocks but carved out of solid rock.
Sculptures produced in the northwest, in stucco, schist, or clay, display a very strong blend of Indian and Classical Hellenistic or possibly even

Greco-Roman influence. The pink sandstone sculptures of Mathura evolved almost simultaneously. During the Gupta period (4th to 6th century)

sculpture reached a very high standard in execution and delicacy in modeling. These styles and others elsewhere in India evolved leading to classical

Indian art that contributed to Buddhist and Hindu sculpture throughout Southeast Central and East Asia.

Architecture:
Indian architecture encompasses a multitude of expressions over space and time, constantly absorbing new ideas. The result is an evolving range of

architectural production that nonetheless retains a certain amount of continuity across history. Some of its earliest production are found in the Indus

Valley Civilization (2600-1900 BCE) which is characterised by well planned cities and houses. Religion and kingship do not seem to have played an

important role in the planning and layout of these towns.
During the period of the Maurya and Gupta empires and their successors, several Buddhist architectural complexes, such as the caves of Ajanta and

Ellora and the monumental Sanchi Stupa were built. Later on, South India produced several Hindu temples like Chennakesava Temple at Belur, the

Hoysaleswara Temple at Halebidu, and the Kesava Temple at Somanathapura, Brihadeeswara Temple, Thanjavur, the Sun Temple, Konark, Sri

Ranganathaswamy Temple at Srirangam, and the Buddha stupa (Chinna Lanja dibba and Vikramarka kota dibba) at Bhattiprolu. Angkor Wat,

Borobudur and other Buddhist and Hindu temples indicate strong Indian influence on South East Asian architecture, as they are built in styles almost

identical to traditional Indian religious buildings.
The traditional system of Vaastu Shastra serves as India’s version of Feng Shui, influencing town planning, architecture, and ergonomics. It is unclear

which system is older, but they contain certain similarities. Feng Shui is more commonly used throughout the world. Though Vastu is conceptually

similar to Feng Shui in that it also tries to harmonize the flow of energy, (also called life-force or Prana in Sanskrit and Chi/Ki in Chinese/Japanese),

through the house, it differs in the details, such as the exact directions in which various objects, rooms, materials, etc. are to be placed.
With the advent of Islamic influence from the west, Indian architecture was adapted to allow the traditions of the new religion. Fatehpur Sikri, Taj

Mahal, Gol Gumbaz, Qutub Minar, Red Fort of Delhi are creations of this era, and are often used as the stereotypical symbols of India. The colonial

rule of the British Empire saw the development of Indo-Saracenic style, and mixing of several other styles, such as European Gothic. The Victoria

Memorial or the Victoria Terminus are notable examples.
Indian architecture has influenced eastern and southeastern Asia, due to the spread of Buddhism. A number of Indian architectural features such as the

temple mound or stupa, temple spire or sikhara, temple tower or pagoda and temple gate or torana, have become famous symbols of Asian culture,

used extensively in East Asia and South East Asia. The central spire is also sometimes called a vimanam. The southern temple gate , or gopuram is

noted for its intricacy and majesty.
Contemporary Indian architecture is more cosmopolitan. Cities are extremely compact and densely populated. Mumbai’s Nariman Point is famous for

its Art Deco buildings. Recent creations such as the Lotus Temple, and the various modern urban developments of India like Chandigarh, are notable.

Recreation and Sports:
In the area of recreation and sports India had evolved a number of games. The modern eastern martial arts originated as ancient games and martial arts

in India, and it is believed by some that these games were transmitted to foreign countries, where they were further adapted and modernized.

Traditional indigenous sports include kabaddi and gilli-danda, which are played in most parts of the country.
A few games introduced during the British Raj have grown quite popular in India: field hockey, football (soccer) and especially cricket. Although field

hockey is India’s official national sport, cricket is by far the most popular sport not only in India, but the entire subcontinent, thriving recreationally

and professionally. Cricket has even been used recently as a forum for diplomatic relations between India and Pakistan. The two nations’ cricket teams

face off annually and such contests are quite impassioned on both sides. Polo is also popular.
Indoor and outdoor games like Chess, Snakes and Ladders, Playing cards, Carrom, Badminton are popular. Chess was invented in India.
Games of strength and speed flourished in India. In ancient India stones were used for weights, marbles, and dice. Ancient Indians competed in chariot

racing, archery, horsemanship, military tactics, wrestling, weight lifting, hunting, swimming and running races.

Birmingham Sunday – Langston Hughes HELP!?

Who knows what the Chinese references mean???

It’s just connecting the color red from the blood of the girls killed to the makers of dynamite who are the Chinese who are now, after they made explosives, communist, and who’s color now is Red, but they have no connection and is quite foreign to Christianity, which was the religion of the church that the bomb blew up along with the girls.

Christian Scriptural Contradictions – Part 1

Christianity, What a Joke

The Bible is nothing more then a bold faced lie. Even worse, we constantly prove it wrong with scientific truths and it is still one the most revered religious doctrines. What more needs to be done to finally bury this myth from Southwest Asia that was simply blown out of proportion? I’m not saying there is no God(s); I’m just saying I highly doubt it is the one described by Jewish or Christian teachings.
Proof, right. Let’s start at the beginning;Genesis. God, according to Genesis, creates the Earth on the first day. An amazing feat in and of itself, if it were actually true and the Earth didn’t take the billions of years that we now know it did to become what we now see it as. Not a day. Christian beliefs 0, Science 1.
Sticking with Genesis, in fact still in the Story of Creation, there is a second glaring contradiction that one will come upon. According to the Bible Homo-Sapiens were created only five days after the earth. With science validating that the Earth is Billions of years old, then man should also be billions of years old(being as we are 5 days younger then the Earth)? Not quite right. Just a few million years, roughly 3 million. The people who wrote, edited and changed the bible through out history were unaware of these completely accepted scientific facts. I wonder what the Story Of Creation would sound like if they knew what we knew today?
The Bible would also like us to believe man’s only been alive four thousand years or so. Although most ultra-christians who are still thick enough to hold on to creationism like to go with ten thousand years. Funny how they directly disbelieve their own religious teachings. Got to love ironic contradictions.
These are the problems I see in the Bible. I just finished Numbers. The fourth of sixty six books. Gonna be a long read. I personally just can’t, and don’t understand how anyone can, believe in a religion or that religions deity when it is so blatantly wrong in its descriptions of something that it attempts to explain.

Is a Christian wearing rosary beads considered a religion contradiction?

Lately it has been fashion for people to wear rosary beads. I’ve seen entertainment stars such as Lil’ Wayne, Drake and Jay-Z just to name a few wearing rosary beads. I’m not quite sure what their religious faith is (or have one) but I’m Christian. Is it a religious contradiction for a Christian to wear rosary bead?

Supposedly it is sacraligious. The train of thought is that they are prayer aids and wearing them as fashion or as a statement is inappropriate. However, this is just the opinion of members of the church … it is not written anywhere.

Frogma: Yes, but not all Christians are Catholics. Catholics have quite a few rules that other Christians don’t have. Way to be rude for no reason.

Christian Daniel – Donde Quedaran (video)

Tony Evans: on Carnal Christianity

Bad doctrine has always crept into the Christian church. Among the believers of Paul’s day men such as Hymenaeus and Philetus postulated ideas that Paul said “will eat as doth a canker” (2 Tim 2:17). In the modern Christian church one prevalent false teaching takes the form of a doctrinal half-breed known as the “carnal Christian.”

The popular and respected Dr. Tony Evans perpetuates this dangerous teaching. The quotations of Dr. Evans found in this article come from his booklet entitled The Carnal Christian. In opposition to Christian church history, but in keeping with his university, Dallas Theological Seminary, Dr. Evans gleans his “carnal Christian” teaching from first Corinthians chapter three:

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 1 Cor 3:1-3

“It is possible,” insists Tony Evans, “to be on your way to heaven but be of no earthly good because you compromise your faith…notice that Paul calls them brethren.” At the time of this rebuke Paul did include these Corinthians in the family of believers. From this passage, however, Dr. Evans continues his slide down a slippery slope of unsupported claims. Consider Dr. Tony Evans’ carnal Christian:

- The carnal Christian is characterized by rejection of the Christian faith.“

- The carnal Christian is a fleshly- minded Christian. Such people live only to please themselves-forget about serving or submitting to Christ.

Because Paul called the Corinthians “brethren” and “carnal” (or worldly) does it follow that they had the option to remain such and still enter the kingdom of God as Tony Evans assumes? The answer is plainly – No. Carnality was not an option for the Corinthians or for us. Paul’s rebuke to the “carnal” in 1 Corinthians 3 is further clarified later in the same book (though Dr. Evans does not mention it):

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Cor 6:9-10

Paul isn’t the only one to disavow the “carnal Christian.” Not even a hint of this dogma can be found in any teacher, confession or catechism that I have researched from Christian history. From the Ante-Nicene Fathers to the Westminster Confession and the Baptist Confession of 1689 no carnal Christian dogma may be found. From Martin Luther to James Arminius or John Calvin no carnal Christian dogma may be found. From Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield to John Wesley or Charles Finney no carnal Christian dogma may be found. Tony Evans’ “carnal Christian” is not true.

Who is the better wrestler overall : Christian, CM Punk or Daniel Bryan?

CM Punk

He can put on a good match with just about anybody in the WWE. He is also easily one of the best microphone workers in the company, as he can display a variety of emotions while on the microphone. His gimmick is unique. He’s the only person that can say he’s better than you, in an interesting way due to his straight edge persona. He gets massive heat as a heel even though he is relaying the right message. He’s also a great face, just like back from 2006-2009. He’s gifted superstars who is spectacular on both the mic and in the ring which is a rare combination. He’s got a bright future, a great heel with one of the best gimmicks I’ve ever seen so I’d have to go with CM Punk with all due respect to Christian and Daniel Bryan.

Is Hannah Montana a false idol?

I was in Wal Mart the other day when I walked down an aisle with nothing but Hannah Montana merchandise. I wondered, how many “christian” mothers buy this crap for their daughters? If plastering your child with Hannah Montana’s face isn’t idol worship, I don’t know what is.

Who said Miley Cyrus was an idol in the first place?
She’s just a teenager that sings little kiddie songs. No big deal.
Although I must say, she sounds like a dying cat.

For the great spindash or spin and jump, just hold the arrow key and press the space bar. Be sure to cut your fingernails first just to make sure you’re not breaking any when you start to play the Sonic. And never hit any obstacles while running.

Christian Dior – Hypnotic Poison

Perfumes – A Quick Guide To Oriental Fragrances

Oriental perfumes are a combination of rich, spicy, yet sweet notes usually with a base in amber or vanilla and perfect for an autumn night. The mere word oriental makes us think of the mysterious east with exotically veiled women, sensual, but sweet. This type of perfume is more suitable to be used in the evening and generally liked by both men and women for their heady fragrance of musk, spices and resins.

Some of the more famous and popular oriental perfumes are Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, Poison by Christian Dior and Shalimar by Guerlain preferred by women for their mysterious and alluring qualities. These scents in particular are instantly recognizable on the wearer.

Spicy perfumes with their strong scented blends and rich musky flowers also fall into the Oriental category and include some very fragrant and rich scents that can be worn by a woman with any time of the day.

Here’s a guide some popular Oriental Perfumes preferred by Women:

Opium by Yves St. Laurent
The most decadent fragrance created by YSL or anyone for that matter. A controversial and provocative perfume that has aromatic and fruity notes mingling with bergamot and mandarin, hints of jasmine, carnation and lily of the valley that ends on spicy notes of vanilla, amber and patchouli. A perfume of voluptuous sensuality. Opium remains hugely popular with devotess and perfume newcomers alike.

Poison by Christian Dior
Launched in 1985, a sweet and luxurious perfume for women with a blending of gardenia, jasmine, orange and undertones of amber, musk and sandalwood. Pure Poison is the perfect fragrance for a romantic night. Poison became known as a notorious and recognizable scent, sparking a fashion for heavier and powerful fragrances in the Eighties.

Shalimar by Guerlain
A very feminine oriental perfume launched by Guerlain in 1925, this perfume has a blend of rose, vanilla and iris. An older but classic scent evocative of its time and still extremely popular today.

Obsession by Calvin Klein
Obsession is a modern classic. A refreshingly feminine perfume has a blend of orange blossom, oakmoss, amber, vanilla and spicy notes. Launched in 1985 by the House of Calvin Klein this oriental fragrance is ideal for evening wear.

Oriental fragrances are reminiscent of Arabian Nights that speak of eroticism, mystery and seductively voluptuous women that emerge with distinctively spicy notes mingling with flowery aromas that lets you float into a world of oriental exoticism and sensuous beauty.
