Native American Spirituality
We are all born in balance. In innocence we see the harmony of all things. Life is a song and we are a part of its dance. Somewhere along our journey an event alters our dance and we are changed. Somehow we lose our balance, then fear, uncertainty, and loneliness become a part of us. We seek solace in activity and distraction and find that we are on a roller coaster of failure and success, happiness and sadness, elation and desperation. We become disillusioned and seek answers from within the web that imprisons us. We are lost and confused. This confusion is the first clue that we are out of step with our dance. It is time to examine our walk.

Using Old Masters To Shed Light On Turkish Rugs
The trade in Turkish rugs flourished in Europe for 300 years because of the interest of artists and 'ristocrats. When a revival began in the late 19th century and weavers throughout Turkey began producing vast quantities again, not only were the new rugs collected but old ones were too. It was then that the hundreds of Old Master paintings depicting these exotic rugs became important to scholars.

In his latest movie role as the bloodthirsty Sweeney Todd, Johnny Depp compares the flavors of different types of human flesh. But the actor says his own would taste of frogs’ legs.

In Tokyo for the Japan premiere of the film, which has been nominated for four Golden Globes, Depp was asked to imagine what he would taste like to a cannibal. “Frogs’ legs, he told giggling reporters, adding that the taste might be a little bitter. I would suggest deep-frying,” he said. Movie director Tim Burton thought for a while before saying he would taste of chicken, but Sweeney Todd producer Richard Zanuck had no hesitation in characterizing his own flavor. “Shark!” he replied to laughter. In the movie, Depp plays a London barber who lures victims to his shop, where they are murdered and made into meat pies.

Turkish President Abdullah Gül broke ground yesterday for a Turkish industrial zone that is being established at November 6 Industry City, 30 kilometers outside the Egyptian capital of Cairo.


During the ceremony Gül said nowadays anyone can access any market in the world and sell merchandise to anyone if they have enough power, and he added that Turkey's industrial zone in Egypt would help Turkey to secure a greater share of global trade.
Gül said he had attended many fruitful meetings during his visit that will further improve the bilateral relations between Turkey and Egypt. He said the meetings addressed not only political issues but also economic affairs and mutual business opportunities.

Today Gül said the governments of both countries should establish positive economic policies and make the necessary reforms to implement these policies. He said Turkey had completed many important reforms and that it has begun to see the fruits of these efforts in the last few years. He added that Egypt has also made crucial reforms and that anyone who gives Egypt a quick glance can see the difference.

The Turkish industrial zone will be built on a 2-million-square-meter plot of land. Twenty large-scale and 100 small and medium-scale companies will operate in the zone and employ around 25,000 people. The resulting investment in the region is expected to be around $1.5 billion. (Zaman)
