Everyone Can't Be in A Front Row

Submitted by ub on

Life is a theater so invite your audiences carefully. Not everyone is holy enough and healthy enough to have a FRONT ROW seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships, friendships, fellowships and family!
Everyone Can't be in Your FRONT ROW.

Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to: Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?

Do you want to economize your six figure college education? You may first wish to consider enrolling into a junior, otherwise known as a community college.

Many people who are planning to go to a university or four year college in the fall are worried about the high cost of tuition and the staggering student loan debt. Fortunately, if you're smart about it, a good education can be achieved without these pitfalls.

At least two deaths have been reported as a result of another train derailment, this time near Philadelphia. The train, which was carrying 341 and seven crew members, has forced a halt to rail services along a stretch of the northeast of the United States.

Amtrak officials say that the train, the Palmetto, was en route from New York to Savannah, Georgia, when it struck a backhoe on the tracks south of Philadelphia.

GRANDPARENTS

Submitted by ub on

No matter if you're called Grandma, or Grandpa, being a grandparent is a magical feeling. I have been blessed with wonderful and healthy grandchildren, who call me GB. Grandpa BoB and I absolutely love them.

They live in California and I in New York, where I work as a college professor and teach approximately 100, 20 year old students each semester. But I often think about what it would be like if I was living closer to my grandkids.

SLASH AND BLEED

Submitted by ub on

Too many people have been slashed in NYC during separate incidents. These slashing crimes happen all too often when innocent people are randomly slashed and these actions are linked to several similar attacks across the city in the past several months.

This crime wave of slashing attacks has been terrorizing the people of New York since the year began and has gripped both hardened city folks and tourists with fear while experts do not have an explanation.

Dragon Inn

DRAGON INN is set during the Ming dynasty. The emperor’s minister of defense is framed by a powerful court eunuch and executed. Soon after, the minister’s children are hunted by a clan of elite assassins known as the Black Arrow Troop. The ensuing chase takes them to the remote Dragon Gate Inn, where mysterious strangers begin to gather and paths—and swords—soon cross. Cinematographer Hua Hui-ying’s (A Touch of Zen) masterful compositions capture tightly choreographed set pieces, each one more splendorous than the last, and Chen Hung-min’s innovative editing makes characters appear to literally fly through the air.
