It's Christmas!!!

Yes, it is the Holiday season, because Christmas is in the Air. Everybody getting ready for something new, children looking forward for presents and Santa is busy making the list.

As a Child I really enjoyed Christmas times, every Christmas Santa would come and visit us. Back Then I could remember that every time Santa visits each year, his appearance also changes. Sometimes he was very fair and with this very white beard and plump as well. However there were times when Santa would look little thin maybe little bit off color. However that did not bother me for a second, I just wanted him to talk to him and tell what kind of present I was waiting for.

However as I grew little bit older, I could remember our Church Pastor preaching about the meaning of Christmas, It wasn't Santa.

It was the birth of Christ (Jesus) who was born to this earth as our savoir Lord. I still remember that he emphasized about the fancy things and gifts people look forward to forgetting the true meaning of Christmas. Yes I agree it is a time to celebrate but how do we really celebrate Christmas.

As I write, I remember a Testimony one day our Sunday school Teacher shared with us. She said that on a Christmas day, they didn't have anything to celebrate even food on the table was not there, however She said that as a family they started to thank God for everything He has blessed with (Count your Blessings). I still remember when she said this she was almost in tears, that night the door bell rang and for their surprise one of the friends have sent them a basket full of goodies. As family they were overwhelmed. Good is Good All the Time, All The Time God is Good!
Nowadays we see that the abbreviation for Christmas has been changed, they use X-Mas, to make it fancier or maybe they don't really know who Christ is. It’s Sad to see these kinds of things happening around us. However we definitely can make a difference, if we are able to show/resemble the true meaning of Christmas to people around us, close to us. I am pretty sure they will notice it.

So friends make a Difference this Christmas, make someone Happy, trust me, when you see the person who puts on a big smile just because you made a difference, the Joy you get is exceptional. Try IT!
As a finishing note I am leaving you guys with a song I heard over the Radio, I searched it on YouTube and it was there.

Just Check it out Guys and be Blessed!

Did you Know? The World Humanitarian Day.

The World Humanitarian Day is commemorated on the 19th of August of every year. 


World Humanitarian Day is a day dedicated to recognize humanitarian personnel and those who have lost their lives working for humanitarian causes. It was designated by the United Nations General Assembly as part of a Swedish-sponsored GA Resolution A/63/L.49 on the Strengthening of the Coordination of Emergency Assistance of the United Nations,[1] and set as 19 August. It marks the day on which the then Special Representative of the Secretary-General to Iraq, Sérgio Vieira de Mello and 21 of his colleagues were killed in the bombing of the UN Headquarters in Baghdad.

The word humanitarian is less known by many people around the world. It’s like they have forgotten the obvious of why and what mankind should be doing.

I challenge you to do a test and see if I am right or otherwise. Go to your TV switch to couple of TV channels and see the entertainment and illusion given out to the audience. To check reality turn on the world news and take some time to see what’s going around the world. Then prick yourself and see if you are dreaming or the things you see are real.

Sadly everybody including me is part of this illusion system of world. Since adapting is very vital for survival we naturally do what we do.

However my friends I encourage you to take just a small step and be a part of reality. I am sure you will be able to find some humanitarian or that kind of nature organization close to your neighborhood.

Be a part of something that you can give back to the people who are in need. The expression of generosity is very hard to practice but your decision can save a life somewhere some corner of the world.

“Just the very act of letting go of money, or some other treasure, does something within us. It destroys the demon ‘greed’.” – Richard Foster

If someone asks me the question, can you generously give your possessions? My Honest answer will be no, because I know I have not reached that level of maturity. However I will take small steps to get there. 

The word Humanitarian means: One who is devoted to the promotion of human welfare and the advancement of social reforms; a philanthropist.

I believe having the interests of mankind at heart is the true reflection of Humanitarian work.

This year’s campaign "I Was Here" is about making your mark by doing something good, somewhere, for someone else.


Please check out the YouTube video below, a very powerful song. Hope you will be encouraged to make a difference.  
  






Friends - To Have One, be One.

Today I just came back from the hospital, I was diagnosed with a minor skin irritation issue. I had to take anti biotics. I was in the hospital for three days, there were times where I had "alone time".

Having this "Alone time" wasn't working for me, I tried reading books, watching the TV etc...

Still I had a lot of time to be isolated from work and people, I used to be around. I tried to make the best of my environment and for some extent I did but there was this vacuum, "Alone Time". Being a christian I did spend time praying and reading the bible, this helped me to understand many things and also realized somethings which I think is useful sharing with my readers, if there are any :-)

I got hold of this small 10 page "Daily Bread" book. As I started reading this book, I came across a very interesting article. So I am going to share the contents which I believe is very much true according to my perspective :-).

The Article as follows:

Title : Friends - To Have One, be One.

All of us need at least one or two friends. A small boy defined a friend as someone who knows all about you and likes you just the same. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "A Friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature." Henry Durbanvillie made this observation about friendship; " A friend is the first person to come in when the whole world goes out."

Solomon wrote in Proverbs 17:17, "A friend loves at all times." We can't improve on that definition. To have someone who remains true to us under all circumstances is one of life's choicest blessings. The support and encouragement is one of life's a close friend can offer is sorely needed when the burden of life weigh heavily upon us. Jesus, of course, is the ultimate friend, for He laid down down his life for His friends (John 15:13)

Proverbs 18:24 makes an important point and takes us beyond description of what it means to be a friend. It says "a man who has friends must himself be friendly." The implication is clear: Friendliness must begin with us. We must take the initiative in developing relationships with others. Let us be to others what we desire for ourselves. When it comes to friends, to have one you must be one!  -- Richard De Haan.


I went outside to find a Friend,
But could not one there;
I went outside to be a friend,
And friends were everywhere! - Anon.

Friends are seldom Found; they are made!

I want to thank all those who visted me and checked on me.. Guys your sms's and calls ment a lot to me. I pray Gods blessing upon you in abundance!!!.

Six Minutes in Berlin


In 1936, nine American rowers took on the Nazis in front of Hitler and 75,000 screaming Germans. The story of the greatest Olympic race you’ve never heard of.

Sportswriter Grantland Rice called it the "high spot" of the 1936 Olympics. Bill Henry, who called the race for CBS, said it was "the outstanding victory of the Olympic Games." The event they’re describing wasn’t staged in Berlin’s Olympic Stadium, and it had nothing to do with Jesse Owens. It took place in the suburb of Grunau, when a group of college kids from the United States took on Germany and Italy in front of Hitler and 75,000 fans screaming for the Third Reich.
The results of the 1936 Olympic regatta were the inverse of that year’s track and field competition. On the track, American men won gold in the 100, 200, 400, and 800 meters; the 4-by-100 relay; both hurdles events; and the high jump, long jump, pole vault, and decathlon. (American women also won the 100 meters and the 4-by-100 relay.) German oarsmen, however, dominated on the water, capturing five gold medals and one silver in the six races preceding the eight-oared final. When a British pair finally beat a German shell, Henry and his CBS broadcast partner Cesar Saerchinger were relieved, according to Saerchinger’s book Hello, America!, as they’d “had to stand up for the German anthem and the ‘Horst Wessel’ song [the Nazi party anthem] after every event, until we were nauseated.”
A few minutes before 6 p.m. on Aug. 14, the final race was about to begin. The crowd, which included Hitler, Hermann Göring, and other Nazi officials, awaited another German victory.

At the starting line, American coxswain Bob Moch looked anxiously into the face of Don Hume. Hume, the stroke of the crew, was tasked with setting the pace for the seven oarsmen rowing behind him. Yet something was very wrong. Hume's eyes remained closed for most of the warm-up, and his breathing seemed labored. Moch knew that Hume had been ill since the team arrived in Europe, but he had never seen his close friend look so listless before a big race. As the rest of the crew stirred nervously, trying to banish thoughts of the tremendous physical punishment awaiting them, Moch glanced at Hume and then across the water at the other eights. Big Jim McMillin, sitting in the five-seat, later remembered his thoughts at the starting line. "I had felt that if we rowed the best we knew how, we could get there," he told me in 2004, a year before his death at age 91. But, McMillin said, "everything went wrong from that point on."
******
The story of the 1936 Olympics remains focused on the brilliant achievements of Jesse Owens and the filmmaking of Leni Riefenstahl. But the Berlin Games were just as important for inaugurating the era of the modern Olympiad. This was the first Olympics that featured a torch relay from Mount Olympus, and the German Broadcasting Company installed the world's most technologically sophisticated television system to broadcast the games to theaters throughout Berlin. The Germans also constructed a massive shortwave broadcast center to ensure worldwide Olympics coverage.

For the global radio audience, estimated at 300 million, the Olympics assumed a new prominence. Just four years earlier, the American radio networks (NBC and CBS) dropped live coverage of the games when the cash-strapped Los Angeles organizing committee demanded an exorbitant rights fee at the last minute. Because the Germans asked for no rights fees and offered their engineers and technical apparatus for free, Americans were able to listen to the games live for the first time.
On the morning of Aug. 14, many people in Seattle woke up excited to catch the regatta’s final event live on CBS. Those listeners had a vested interest in the race. The United States team, a crew from the University of Washington, came very close to missing the trip to Berlin. Immediately following the Huskies’ victory in the Olympic trials, the team was informed by the U.S. Olympic Committee that it needed to come up with $5,000 to pay its way to Berlin. Seeing an opening, Henry Penn Burke—chairman of the Olympic Rowing Committee and a University of Pennsylvania alum—offered to send his beloved Quakers in place of the Huskies. The sports editors of Seattle's top two newspapers, outraged on behalf of the local heroes, enlisted newsboys to solicit donations while hawking papers. With American Legion posts and Chambers of Commerce throughout the state chipping in, enough money was collected in three days to send the team to Berlin. As a consequence of the funding drive, remembered Gordon Adam, who rowed in the three-seat, "people in the city felt that they were stockholders in the operation."

The Washington crew had been rowing together for less than five months prior to the Olympics. Coach Al Ulbrickson had originally named a different group of rowers as the varsity at the start of the college season. The second boat, made up of strong but inexperienced oarsmen, knew they rowed faster than the first string and was angered by the slight. After the varsity shoved off the dock for their first practice, the angry eight carried their boat to the water silently. "We were standing about a little bit after we put the oars in the oarlock," Moch explained to me the year before he died. “Somebody said, 'You know this thing is going to fly.' "
The teammates soon devised a mantra. Quietly, they would repeat the letters L-G-B. When asked the meaning, they would explain it stood for "Let's get better." What it really meant was “Let’s go to Berlin.”
The Huskies’ first big triumph came in the Intercollegiate Rowing Association national championship in June. In that race, Washington successfully deployed its signature strategy. The Huskies always maintained a stroke rating below their opponents’, ignoring those moments when their competition opened up enormous leads. When all seemed lost, the coxswain Moch would call on Hume to raise the stroke rating. Employing near-perfect technique and synchronization, the boys would put their shell, the Husky Clipper, in a higher gear. At the IRA Championship, they sat in fifth place after the midway point, but blasted past the competition once the sprint began. It was a dominating, intimidating performance.

A few weeks later, the Huskies cruised past the competition in the Olympic trials. After surviving the funding scare, they crossed the Atlantic on the S.S. Manhattan with the rest of the American Olympic team. In today’s world, where Seattle and Berlin are separated by nine hours of jet flight, it is difficult to imagine how they felt to be travelling to Europe. McMillin told me the trip was "a dream”—like most of his teammates, he had never left the state of Washington before taking up rowing.

Unlike its competition from the Ivy League, the Washington crew was composed of kids from working- and middle-class families. Rowing, then as now, was considered an elite sport. The 1924 Yale crew that won the gold medal in Paris, for instance, featured both a Rockefeller and Benjamin Spock (yes, Dr. Spock). But the Husky rowers could barely afford lunch, much less a trip to Berlin. Several paid their college tuition and living expenses from money earned through the National Youth Administration, a New Deal organization. "We used to sweep out the pavilion that was used for basketball and other events, we did the football field, we sold tickets, we ushered," McMillin remembered. His teammate Gordon Adam worked as a janitor’s assistant, washing windows and scrubbing floors for $15 a month.
Despite third-class accommodations, the crew enjoyed themselves on the passage to Europe. But Don Hume and John White caught colds on the boat, and others felt seasick. When the Manhattan arrived in Hamburg, the team was relieved to be back on land. But gray fog encased Berlin throughout the Olympics, with rain and an unseasonable cold spell chilling and dampening the massive Köpenick police barracks where the team was bunking. A particularly brutal qualifying race, in which the Huskies set the Olympic record while narrowly edging out a strong British eight, only exacerbated Hume's illness. He passed out at the finish line, only to revive when Moch splashed cold water on him. The victory, however, allowed the Huskies to rest while other boats fought through additional qualifying races.

On the morning of the final, Hume was in terrible shape. He shivered uncontrollably, and he appeared mentally and physically wan. With his eyes closed and his mouth slack, he barely pulled his oar during warm ups.
The race began in typical fashion for the Huskies. “We all know the Washington crew … is probably the slowest-starting crew in the world,” said CBS’ Bill Henry with a chuckle. “It gives everybody heart failure.” With the Americans “dragging along” in Henry’s words, the Italians and Germans were more than a boat length in front at the halfway mark of the 2000-meter race. McMillin, rowing in the middle of the eight, sensed something was amiss. "Somewhere about the middle of the race I knew we were not doing well and we were behind,” he told me. “I thought, God, we've come all this way from Seattle, and to end up our season like this ... it can't happen."

As the shells whizzed past, cameramen perched atop buoys captured the race for Germany’s top filmmaker, Leni Riefenstahl. German dominance on the water ensured that rowing events would feature prominently in Olympia, her classic propaganda film on the games. But the day of the rowing final was a disaster for Riefenstahl, as Olympic authorities, who were concerned about lightning, forced her to ground the balloon she’d set up to track the race from above. (When gas from the descending balloon escaped too quickly, cameraman Walter Frentz fell into the Spree River. He was not injured.) Riefenstahl ultimately interspersed her limited actual race footage with pre-recorded, dramatized film and audio. Every in-boat, water-level shot in the clip below was filmed before the final race, with fanciful audio mixed in. (Bob Moch did not call out “Push! Pull!” on every stroke.)
As the German crew powered toward the finish line, the crowd chanted “Deutsch-land! Deutsch-land!” in time with each stroke. The noise swelled, and the rowers sensed the finish line closing in. The Americans had to make their move. Moch, the coxswain, stared at Hume's face. With about 800 meters remaining his eyes opened and he began rowing with authority. Responding to Hume's emerging strength, the boat's stroke rating rose.


High above the grandstand at the finish line, CBS' Bill Henry watched the final sprint unfold:
It looks as though the United States [is] beginning to pour it on now! The Washington crew is driving hard on the outside of the course, they are coming very close now to getting into the lead! They have about 500 meters to go, perhaps a little less than 500 meters, and there is no question in the world that Washington has made up a tremendous amount of distance. … They have moved up definitely into third place. Italy is still leading, Germany is second, and Washington—the United States—has come up very rapidly on the outside. They are crowding up to the finish now with less than a quarter of a mile to go!
Click on the player below to listen to Henry’s call:
The resolve built from countless hours of practice kicked in. Within 300 meters, the Huskies pulled even with the tiring Germans and Italians. A supposed transcript of the German radio call, as published in a post-Olympic program, captures the excitement: “Still Italy! Then Germany! Now England! Ah, the Americans—their powerful spurts are irresistible! Their oars rip massively through the water!”
The crowd's roar became deafening as the three boats matched each other stroke for stroke. As they crossed the line together, the rowers couldn’t tell who had won. The men in all three boats recoiled or collapsed in exhaustion as the crowd quieted down to await the results. “Nobody said a word," Moch remembered.
After an interminable wait, the announcement came over the loudspeaker: USA 6:25.4, Italy 6:26.0, Germany 6:26.4. After almost six-and-a-half minutes of racing, just one second separated the three boats.
It would be the most physically demanding race any of them would ever row. "God, we were out of gas at the end," McMillin remembered. "How I struggled through that last 20 [strokes] I don't know."

After 
regrouping, the Americans paddled their boat to the dock in front of the grandstand to receive the victors' laurel wreaths. In a separate ceremony in Berlin's Olympic stadium, Roger Morris, Charles Day, Gordon Adam, John White, James McMillin, George Hunt, Joe Rantz, Don Hume, and Robert Moch received their gold medals.* McMillin told me it was the most emotional moment of his life.
Hitler’s reaction to the U.S. victory was neither recorded by the assembled press nor described over the radio. “I didn’t give a damn about Hitler,” Bob Moch told me. “We didn’t care whether he existed or not. We were there to do a job.” The German radio broadcast reveled in the overall quality of the race, with the announcer boasting that Deutschland’s “bronze medal has a golden glow.” As the “Star-Spangled Banner” played, the crowd gave the Nazi salute to the American victors.
In the days after their victory, the American press swooned over the crew, with major articles appearing in all the dailies. The gold-medal performance still resonated the following spring, with Collier’sand the Saturday Evening Post paying Ulbrickson to describe the race. Seventy-five years later, though, the feats of the Washington crew have largely been forgotten. The first of the Huskies to cross the finish line, bowman Roger Morris, was the last to die. He passed away in 2009, and with him went the last participant memories of one of the greatest U.S. Olympic teams. Yet their legacy lives on in those still rowing on Seattle’s Montlake Cut. This June, Washington’s varsity men’s crew set a new course record in winning the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship. The men of the Husky Clipperwould have been proud.
Corrections, July 26, 2012: This article originally stated that rower Joseph Rantz had the nickname “Shorty.” That moniker belonged to his teammate George Hunt. (Return to the corrected sentence.) A photo caption originally misidentified one of the rowers in a photo of the U.S. Olympic team in Indian headdresses. The man pictured is George Hunt, not Gordon Adam.)

Oxymoron

An oxymoron (plural oxymorons or oxymora) (from Greek ὀξύμωρον, "sharp dull") is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms. Oxymorons appear in a variety of contexts, including inadvertent errors such as ground pilot and literary oxymorons crafted to reveal a paradox.

Examples of oxymora of this kind are:
Source (Wikipedia)


I really don't know how much of this I am going to write on the blog as I am starting to write, but I very I'm sure it should be written. Did that make any sense......

Moving on The word Oxymoron, I heard this word in Church, it was a sermon and out that sermon right now, I only remember that word  and few hours ago didnt remember the meaning of it either....

I love watching movies that are different, very clever and creative. They have a a message only if you closely watch to understand what it is. Some of the movies I can think of right now are "A Beautiful Mind", "Life is Beautiful", "Pursuit of Happiness", "Rocky 1" the later versions were clearly for commercial purpose...."Seven Pounds", "Pumping Iron", "50/50", "Passion of Christ" if have seen al these movies by now you know what I am talking rather writing about :-)

Today I watched this movie "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close", I picked that movie because I know if Tom Hanks is acting he doing it cause its worth it... This does not measure in Money-Tory value.....  :-)

"The Terminal" and "Forest Gump" were good movies too... I am writing as it pops up.... Being Spontaneous here..... :-)

The Other day I had a chat with one of my very good friends we haven't kept in touch for a long time and we just had a chat conversation just out of the blue....

The Topic was God... Yeh I know religion not very attractive for many out there but yes we did talk about it...

He was explaining me how he had reasoned it out, yeh God/Religion... He quoted Albert Einsteins last words of wisdom about religion or something like that..... I respect his belief... mine is contradictory....

I am Christian and I believe in a Living God called Jesus. I have been taught this ever since I can remember whatever I can remember from my childhood.

Its the way I am brought up that makes me who I am.... Hmm...... Maybe subconsciously whatever/Everything I do could be true... But there is more to it than the sentence which was followed by this one.....

Anyway the point is....... Exactly....

Those dotted lines are yours to fill them up. Oxymoron think about it.

Okay by know if you haven't able to understand what I am trying to tell, then please don't bother getting into conclusions. Because I know for a fact that a sentence cannot be started with "because".

:-)

Whats "IN IT" for you... I have mentioned some good movies, you should watch them... You will see things differently.

Let me finish with the last peice of garnish "Nonsense its an Oxymoron"....

Au Revoir... Amigos..

Found something interesting from my FB page... One of my Friends had posted it. Its an amazing speech by Arnold. The first time I knew about Arnold was when I was doing my O/Levels.... I watched a documentary called "Pumping Iron". 

It was for "Mr. Olympia" how the athletes train for it in the gym and stuff like that. I have seen Arnold before in movies when I was a kid but never knew him as Arnold, I used to call him Commando, because of the movie...

Shaken by the tremors waken by rumors and standing by the TV.


Shaken by the tremors waken by rumors and standing by the TV.... Yesterday it no ordinary day for the people who lived along the Indian ocean. There was a TSUNAMI alert and our country the paradise island Sri Lanka was on the list. However by God grace there was no devastation to anybody caused, but it reminds us that life is not to hold on to but its about letting it go, hope your getting my norm.

As most of you know why the TSUNAMI didn't occur let give some enlightenment if you didn't know why there was no TSUNAMI.... Obviously its Gods Grace... sounds crazy yes I know... Well then lets be educated and understand why.... :-) the earth quake did have a high magnitude of 8.7 in the rector scale but the plates shifted in the different directions from which we experienced in 2004. In this case, the plates moved more horizontally, and therefore a large tsunami was not generated.

Anyways everyday every minute we should thank  God for what he has given us and be content of how much more we have in life rather the materiel things that disguises itself with illusion.

Something to thing about:

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, 
Love like you'll never be hurt, 
Sing like there's nobody listening, 
And live like it's heaven on earth.
