Jataka Tales of the Buddha (Volume I) by Ken and Visakha Kawasaki Pdf
Whereas Western intellectuals seek the essence of Buddhism in its doctrines and meditation practices, the traditional Buddhists of Asia absorb the ideas and values of their spiritual heritage through its rich narrative literature about the Buddha and his disciples. The most popular collection of Buddhist stories is, without doubt, the Jatakas. These are the stories of the Buddha's past births, relating his experiences as he passed from life to life on the way to becoming a Buddha. At times he takes the form of a bird, at times he is born as a hare, a monkey, a prince, a merchant, or an ascetic, but in each case he uses the challenges he meets to grow in generosity, virtue, patience, wisdom, and compassion.This anthology of Jatakas, ably told by Ken and Visakha Kawasaki, remains faithful to the original yet presents the stories in clear and simple language. It thereby makes the Jatakas accessible even to young readers and to those for whom English is not their first language.
"A guy that grabs the throat of a story and hangs on to it." That's how The Arizona Republic described veteran TV reporter Mike Watkiss-"a grizzled TV Icon" who has been at the forefront of some of the World's biggest stories for more than four decades. From OJ Simpson to Michael Jackson--from serial killer Richard Ramirez to polygamous prophet Warren Jeffs-from figure skater Tonya Harding to Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss, Watkiss' career reads like a road map of American history. "Story Hustler"-Murder-Mayhem-PTSD are the raw stories behind the the headline-grabbing stories-a pedal-to-the-metal thrill ride through scandal and tragedy-terror and triumph.Watkiss was one of the first reporters at the crime scene the morning the bodies of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson were discovered in Brentwood. He was ringside for O.J. Simpson's so-called "Trial of the Century."Watkiss' fiery jail house interview with notorious serial killer Richard Ramirez and his ambush-interview of actress Elizabeth Taylor onboard an airplane are the stuff of TV legend.Watkiss, often described as "fearless," is best known for his decades of covering the practice of polygamy in America and focusing specifically on the large FLDS community on the Utah/Arizona border and it's notorious Prophet Warren Jeffs. Watkiss' 2004 Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning documentary "Colorado City and the Underground Railroad" helped start a revolution against the generations of abuse of women and children in polygamous communities. Through his relentless work, Watkiss played a major role in landing FLDS Prophet Warren Jeffs in a Texas prison cell."The entire country and probably the world know this story because of" Watkiss, wrote journalist and friend Claudia Rivero."He let America in on a nasty little secret--many secrets," AZFamily.com wrote of Watkiss at the time of his retirement from TV news.The pages of "Story Hustler"-Murder-Mayhem-PTSD are full of events that shaped history and the names of some of the most famous and infamous characters on the Earth--names like Marlon Brando, Princess Diana, Sylvester Stallone, Nicolas Cage, Tonya Harding, Robert Mueller, O.J.

Spirits & Cocktails of Upstate New York: A History by Don Cazentre Pdf
From the Hudson Valley to the Niagara River, Upstate New York has a long and grand history of spirits and cocktails. Early colonists distilled rum, and pioneering settlers made whiskey. In the 1800s, a fanciful story of a tavern keeper and a "cock's tail" took root along the Niagara River, and the earliest definition of the "cocktail" appeared in a Hudson Valley paper. The area is home to its share of spirited times and liquid legends, and the recent surge in modern distilleries and cocktail bars only bolsters that tradition. Author Don Cazentre serves up these tales of Upstate New York along with more than fifty historic and modern cocktail recipes.
Born on a ranch in the Central Valley of California, the author considers this fact a cosmic error, feeling he should have been born at Versailles rather than at Sutters Fort. Subsequent to university, he has lived in France, Holland, the Congo Republic, Austria, Boston, New York, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. These stories reflect and recollect some of these places through his myopic vision and specific experiences.
Author : Miles White Publisher : University of Illinois Press Page : 178 pages File Size : 45,9 Mb Release : 2011-11-01 Category : Music ISBN : 9780252093678
This multilayered study of the representation of black masculinity in musical and cultural performance takes aim at the reduction of African American male culture to stereotypes of deviance, misogyny, and excess. Broadening the significance of hip-hop culture by linking it to other expressive forms within popular culture, Miles White examines how these representations have both encouraged the demonization of young black males in the United States and abroad and contributed to the construction of their identities. From Jim Crow to Jay-Z traces black male representations to chattel slavery and American minstrelsy as early examples of fetishization and commodification of black male subjectivity. Continuing with diverse discussions including black action films, heavyweight prizefighting, Elvis Presley's performance of blackness, and white rappers such as Vanilla Ice and Eminem, White establishes a sophisticated framework for interpreting and critiquing black masculinity in hip-hop music and culture. Arguing that black music has undeniably shaped American popular culture and that hip-hop tropes have exerted a defining influence on young male aspirations and behavior, White draws a critical link between the body, musical sound, and the construction of identity.

But when Des’s nephew is killed in the high-stakes heroin trade and Des learns that someone close to him okayed the hit, the dyed-in-the-wool gangsta sets aside the Bible for the gospel of the streets–even if it means risking the one person who’s always had his back.
