from http://d4nations.com/webpubl/articles/holi-hindu-spring-festival.html
Holi is an Indian Hindu festival (on the Hindu calendar) which derives it’s roots from the worship of goddess Raka, the goddess of love and prosperity.
In Gujarat Holi spring festival is two day festival. On the evening of the first day people lit the bonfire.
People offer raw coconut, corn to the fire. The second day is the festival of colour or “Dhuleti”, celebrated by sprinkling coloured water and applying colours to each other.
There is a symbolic legend to explain why holi is celebrated. The word “Holi” originates from “Holika”, the evil sister of demon king Hiranyakashipu.
King Hiranyakashipu had earned a boon that made him virtually indestructible.
The special powers blinded him, he grew arrogant, felt he was God, and demanded that everyone worship only him.
Holi festival has other cultural significance. It is the festive day to end and rid oneself of past errors, end conflicts by meeting others, a day to forget and forgive. People pay or forgive debts, as well as deal anew with those in their lives.
Holi also marks the start of spring, and for many the start of new year.
Meanwhile, President Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi wished India citizens a happy and safe Holi.
“May the festival bring health, happiness and prosperity to all,” Singh said.

Qur’an
Sura 102 – Acquisitiveness
In the name of God the Compassionate the Caring
Acquisitiveness turns you away
Until you reach the graves ~ gravity ~ gravitation ~ ta^m/trinity/conscience ~ ‘muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c so^’ng la^u bi`nh thu+o+`ng; everyone live long and well’
Oh then you will know
Surely then you will know
Surely you will know with knowledge certain
You will see a blazing fire
Then you will see it with an eye certain
At that time then
you will be asked about true well-being ~ about ‘muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c so^’ng la^u bi`nh thu+o+`ng; everyone live long and well’
~ * ~
the commentary goes: “As part of cultural training for those about to visit bedouin Arab societies, visitors are cautioned about complementing anyone on a possession, whether an engraved metal coffee pot, a precious rug, or a fine horse. The host might well say to the guest not ‘thank you’ but ‘it’s yours’ and insist the guest accept it.
This bedouin hospitality was a constant from pre-Islamic through Islamic times. In the pre-Islamic period it was associated with the generous hero, the Karim, who was willing to share all he had with his tribe, including his camel mare. The Qur’an kept the emphasis on generousity, but transferred the ideal of the Karim from tribal leader to the one God, and changed the mechanism of generosity from large tribal banquets to organized means of contributing to the poor. While denunciation of hoarding and acquisitiveness remained constant in pre-Islamic poetry and the Qur’an, the Qur’anic denunciations added a new theological twist. Those who spend their lives acquiring and hoarding possessions end up enslaved by those possessions and blinded by them to what ultimately matters ~ mass.”
from p. 114-115 “Approaching the Qur’an – the early revelations” introduced and translated by Michael Sells]
“mac daddy” or “dda.t” mentioned “dubai” or some such on bar outing …
if biblical “in the image” is true then how is dubai “in the image” of damascus one might wonder …: well, suppose that sand is the personal “soul” of arabia but now with high rises built by international laborers from phillipines–according to David Lowe … to^nan thought of how the old bedouin shepherd-sheep relationship could be transformed into arab-master-phillipine-labor-girl relationship that David Lowe related to him “she–the phillipine labor girl–cried saying she’s afraid of coming out onto the street because some arab master might drive by and kidnap/snatch her up …”… Tra^`n Tie^u’s “Con Tra^u”–, india etc. the sand “soul” has been transformed … perhaps people earn/learn that way what is the all-covering soul the bao or ba?o or all-soul or universal “soul” of “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c so^’ng la^u bi`nh thu+o+`ng; everyone live long and well” …

“Islands In The Stream”
(feat. Dolly Parton)
3/24/2014 yesterday or day before di` ba showed what purportedly was ultrasound pictures of daliah “dolly” adorable …
Baby, when I met you
There was peace unknown
I set out to get you
With a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside
There was something going on
You do something to me
That I can’t explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got something going on
Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel
Needs no conversation
We can ride it together, ah-ha
Making love with each other, ah-ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha
I can’t live without you
If the love was gone
Everything is nothing
If you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing
But that won’t happen to us
And we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing
No more will you cry
Baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one
In love forever
We can ride it together, ah-ha
Making love with each other, ah-ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha
Sail away
[Instrumental Interlude]
Ooooh, come sail away with me
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha

I ain’t ready for the altar but I do agree there’s times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine
Well, I keep on thinkin’ ’bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can’t live without you; can’t you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find

Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?

The festival of Holi can be regarded as a celebration of the Colors of Unity & Brotherhood – an opportunity to forget all differences and indulge in unadulterated fun. It has traditionally been celebrated in high spirit without any distinction of cast, creed, color, race, status or sex. It is one occasion when sprinkling colored powder (‘gulal’) or colored water on each other breaks all barriers of discrimination so that everyone looks the same and universal brotherhood is reaffirmed. This is one simple reason to participate in this colorful festival. Let’s learn more about its history and significance…
What is ‘Phagwah’?
‘Phagwah’ is derived from the name of the Hindu month ‘Phalgun’, because it is on the full moon in the month of Phalgun that Holi is celebrated. The month of Phalgun ushers India in Spring when seeds sprout, flowers bloom and the country rises from winter’s slumber.
Meaning of ‘Holi’
‘Holi’ comes from the word ‘hola’, meaning to offer oblation or prayer to the Almighty as Thanksgiving for good harvest. Holi is celebrated every year to remind people that those who love God shall be saved and they who torture the devotee of God shall be reduced to ashes a la the mythical character Holika.
The Legend of Holika
Holi is also associated with the Puranic story of Holika, the sister of demon-king Hiranyakashipu. The demon-king punished his son, Prahlad in a variety of ways to denounce Lord Narayana. He failed in all his attempts. Finally, he asked his sister Holika to take Prahlad in her lap and enter a blazing fire. Holika had a boon to remain unburned even inside fire. Holika did her brother’s bidding. However, Holika’s boon ended by this act of supreme sin against the Lord’s devotee and was burnt to ashes. But Prahlad came out unharmed.
The Krishna Connection
Holi is also associated with the Divine Dance known as Raaslila staged by Lord Krishna for the benefit of his devotees of Vrindavan commonly known as Gopis.

To^n An realizes that he has earned a certain “tha`nh ti’ch” [di` ba mentions she wants to mount her two televisions on the “wall” with help of nguye^.t’s sister phu.ng’s husband ….] with his “blow up” … has earned fear from other people … afterall who knows what/when/who/why/how this guy To^n An is gone “blow” next … so … on the one hand, intelligence would say, for safety sake, one has to watch out, … on the other hand intelligence would say one has to normalize because safety from “a raisin in the sun” and life both demand normalization … and in the end, only someone with unconditional love for someone with a “tha`nh ti’ch” can hope to surpass the barrier erected by the “tha`nh ti’ch” …

I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yep
A-you you you can just sit there while thinking on your velvet throne
‘Bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own

it’s not the ribbons in your hair i don’t mind you coming here
and wasting all my time
i don’t mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
it doesn’t matter where you’ve been
as long as it was deep
you always knew to wear it well
you look so fancy i can tell
i don’t mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
i guess you’re just what i needed
i needed someone to feed
i guess guess you’re just what i needed
i needed someone to bleed

from http://www.yelp.com/biz/le-duyen-ii-san-jose 1/11/2013 This place is unprofessional and rude ! Does not hold any accountability for messing up someone’s hand bag . Massage was ok and not bad but as soon as I left the room I noticed massage oil leaked all over my hang bag ! And when I brought it to the owners attention .. Instead of apologizing and offering to try to clean the bag …. She accused me of coming in with the stain . The stain was clearly massage oil ! I asked her to pull the cameras and see if the stain was on there prior to me getting a massage and she refused. Rude , unprofessional , and obviously not very clean ! I will never come back here even if they paid me !

Lyrics to Love Child :
by The Supremes
You think that I don’t feel love
But what I feel for you is real love
In other’s eyes I see reflected
A hurt, scorned, rejected
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, born in poverty
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, take a look at me
I started my life
in an old, cold run down tenement slum
My father left, he never even married mom
I shared the guilt my mama knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name
This love we’re contemplating
Is worth the pain of waiting
We’ll only end up hating
The child we maybe creating
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, scorned by society
Love child, always second best
Love child, diff’rent from the rest
Mm, baby
I started school,
in a worn, torn dress that somebody threw out
I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt
To be without the simple things
So afraid my friends would see the guilt in me
Don’t think that I don’t need you
Don’t think I don’t wanna please you
No child of mine ‘ll be bearing
The name of shame I’ve been wearing
Love child, love child, never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood
But I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you, you, you
3/13/2014 di` Ba did laundry today and assume Gia Ba?o’s job of throwing toys–in this case railroad sections–everywhere in the house …. or at least in the laundry …
To^nAn had no problem with Gia Ba?o messing up but perhaps if Gia Ba?o plays cool in the balance clean up also … obama … cover both father and mother… and in fact To^nAn observe that toys do get put away … whether by Gia Ba?o or not is unclear but they do get clean up and not by him … so … someone is “balancing” …
and the ‘balancing’ is external evidence of to^nan, and gia ba?o and di` ba and thanh so+n and ye^’n and “tu+” and “honey” and “ba`” that all along everyone had meant well … everyone had aim/meant for “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c so^’ng la^u bi`nh thu+o+`ng; everyone live long and well” …
“Baby Love”
Ooh baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long
‘Cause baby love, my baby love
Been missing ya, miss kissing ya
Instead of breaking up
Let’s do some kissing and making up
Don’t throw our love away
In my arms, why don’t you stay?
Need ya, need ya
Baby love, ooh, baby love
Baby love, my baby love
Why must we seperate, my love
All of my whole life through
I never loved no one but you
Why you do me like you do?
I get this need
Ooh, ooh, need to hold you
Once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don’t throw our love away
Please don’t do me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me
My love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
Why you do me like you do
After I’ve been true to you
So deep in love with you
