Crying in the Rain

“There is no greater sorrow than to recall
in misery the time when we were happy.”

- Dante Alighieri
(May/June c.1265 - 14 Sept 1321)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

   After all the deadly thunderstorms and tornados in recent days, there are a great many people crying in the rain.

From www.legacy.com - 04/30/11:

Dozens of tornadoes ripped through the South on Wednesday, April 27, flattening homes and businesses and killing at least 297 people in six states in the deadliest outbreak in nearly 40 years.

The storms came on the heels of another system that killed 10 people in Arkansas and one in Mississippi earlier in the week.

BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOoyr02vFSs - Crying in the Rain - a-ha, 1990

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crying_in_the_Rain:

"Crying in the Rain" is a song written by Howard Greenfield and Carole King and was originally recorded by The Everly Brothers. The single peaked at #6 on the U.S. pop charts[1].

In 1990, the Norwegian pop band A-ha covered the song. Following its success, A-ha became closer to the Everly Brothers, who had originally recorded the song. The band members were presented a set of guitars by the Everly Brothers that A-ha continues to use.

SILLY SPEECH SWEARS SOLDIERLY SUCCESS

He had led his men out of Fredericksburg, crossed the Rappahannock, entered that part of Virginia known as the Wilderness. Today Gen. Joseph Hooker set up camp at the home of a family named Chancellor. He then wrote a speech to his troops, saying “...our enemy must ingloriously fly, or come out from behind their defenses and give us battle...where certain destruction awaits him.”

DREADFUL DOOM DEVASTATES DAVIS

President Jefferson Davis and his wife Varina suffered the loss of their beloved son, Joe Davis, today. The exuberant five-year-old was, as boys that age often do, playing where he shouldn’t have been, on the second-floor balcony of the Presidential home, the Confederate White House in Richmond. Somehow he slipped, toppled over the railing, and fell to the brick pavement below.

Press Release .....
WorldFest-Houston Intl Film Festival Wraps as Great Success!
Festival Attendance was up more than 15%! There were 21 World Premieres!

Houston, Texas - Apr 23, 2010

WorldFest-Houston, the third longest-running International Film Festival in North America, and oldest Indie Film Festival in the World, celebrated the conclusion of its 10-day run of films, fun and fanfare in its 44th annual independent film showcase with an increase in overall audience attendance of 15 percent over 2010 attendance, despite the economic turndown.

Kicking off WorldFest's Opening Night festivities on Friday, April 8, was the Texas premiere of Chad Waterhouse and Ankush Kholi's poignant road film EXODUS FALL (Jesse James, Rosanna Arquette) with producer, Michael Baumgarten and both directors on hand to present their film. WorldFest also this year celebrated its Sixth annual Panorama Italia in collaboration with Albert di Mauro, Director of the Italian Cultural Institute in Los Angeles, CA. (IIC), featuring Laura Luchetti's FEBBRE DA FIENO and three other independently produced Italian films.

Closing weekend festivities April 16 & April 17 included a Grand Awards Gala on Saturday night that culminated with a Sunday morning VIP NASA & Space Center Houston whirlwind tour and WorldFest Consular Regatta and Barbeque hosted by Port of Houston Authority and The Houston Yacht Club. The "Longhorn Cowgirls" from Hempstead, Texas accompanied by two huge Longhorn steers and welcomed the hundreds of visiting international filmmakers at The Houston Yacht Club.

To wrap up, WorldFest offered a tiered closing bill of Panorama Entertainment's ANOTHER HARVEST MOON directed by Greg Swartz, an encore screening of Shawn Welling's PROJECT AETHER a three time winner at the Awards Gala & an encore screening of Egemen Erturk's THE RINGING BALL just in from Istanbul.

WorldFest, founded as Cinema Arts, an International Film Society in August 1961, became the third competitive international film festival in North America, following San Francisco and New York. WorldFest evolved into a competitive International Film Festival in April 1968 and has a long list of "discovered" film greats such as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, David Lynch, Ridley Scott, Oliver Stone, Atom Egoyan, Randall Kleiser, Ang Lee, Robert Rodriguez, the Coen Brothers, John Lee Hancock and many others from their beginning efforts for film submissions early in their careers. Multi award-winning producer/director, Hunter Todd, founded this film festival to honor all categories of film and video production continuing his long dedication of "Discovery," spotlighting emerging Independent filmmakers as "the Spielbergs & Ang Lees of tomorrow."

WorldFest's mission is to recognize and honor outstanding creative excellence in film & video, validate brilliant abilities and promote future filmmaking in Texas as well as enhance cultural tourism for Houston and environs. The 10-day festival ran to a smashing finish with several sold-out full houses, one of which was the Shawn Welling's third film PROJECT AETHER, a Sci-fi which was shot in Houston, 21 World Premieres, 56 Indie feature productions, 111 award winning shorts. Over 550 USA and International filmmakers attended this year, despite the economic downturn impacting various countries and the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

All film premieres screened at the Flagship AMC Studio 30 Theatres, a seventh year WorldFest-Houston Cinema partner. Other major VIP Partner/Sponsors include Boxer Property, The Houston Arts Alliance (HAA), Wagner Media, Eastman Kodak, Microsoft, The Marriott Hotels, The City of Houston, The State of Texas, The NEA, Budget Rent a Car, NASA/Space Center Houston, The Wellness Center, The Houston Yacht Club, The Port of Houston Authority (Regatta VIP Sponsors) & the Becker Vineyards, a renowned Texas vineyard.

WorldFest's Remi Awards Gala on Saturday, April 16th was held in The HQ Westchase Marriott Hotel, VIP partner & official host hotel for the 44th WorldFest. Festivities began with a cocktail reception hosted by The Houston Film Commission. James McMurray, member of the 5-time World Champion Bagpipe Band of Houston's St. Thomas Episcopal School opened the Awards Gala by piping in festival founder, Hunter Todd followed by the enthusiastic filmmakers amidst a bevy of Pastorini Bosby Talent award presenters. Dance entertainment was presented by Nelly Fraga's Ambassador Mexican Folkloric Dancers, a Scottish Highland dance set by St. Thomas award winning Scottish dancers & a grand finale by Shawn Welling's Planet Funk Academy's lead dancers who performed a high-energy dance mix created specially for the gala. Every WorldFest event is always open to the public.

On April 14, 15, and 16th, WorldFest conducted Six Film Industry Master Class Seminars concluding with the Indie Forum of WorldFest feature film Directors. Laura Pennino, CEO of Pennino and Partners kicked-off the Master Classes with the "Publicity for Indies" seminar followed by "The Write Stuff" with Nick Nicholson, President of the Houston Film Critics Society. Alan Mendelsohn flew in from Canada for his ever popular "Docs on a Dime" followed by Panorama Entertainment's Stuart Strutin who presented "Distribution for Indies" - a must-attend for every Indie filmmaker. The highlight of this year's WorldFest Seminars was a Master Class presented by Randal Kleiser - Director of the classic musical, GREASE, which he presented later that day in its new Sing-Along Version. The Indie Directors Forum rounded out the 2011 WorldFest seminar line-up.

10 Ways to Crank Up Your Success Esteem in Under 10 Minutes

By Troyann Williams


Success is a journey not a destination. When you are building the successful life you desire it’s very "human" (i.e., "normal") to experience occasional moments of self doubt and feeling down.

When you recognize one of these low moments you can crank your SuccessEsteem™ back up to a power level quickly and easily by implementing one or more of the ideas below.

1. Reenergize Your Primary Goals
Reminding yourself of what it is that you really want to accomplish is a great way to crank your energy back into high gear! One quick and easy way to do this is simply to complete this sentence; "What I really want to accomplish is..."

2. Reconnect with Your "Why"
When your energy level is feeling low a great way to get a quick pick-me-up is to reconnect with "why" you're working so hard. Every coaching client I've ever worked with has expressed a genuine desire to do things with their life that will help to make their life and the lives of others even better. It's very easy to reconnect with your "why" by completing the sentence; "I really want to accomplish this goal because..."

3. Refresh Your To-Do List and Your Priorities
Refreshing your to-do list is a GREAT way to beat the frustration of feeling overwhelmed by all the things you must do to accomplish your desired goals. This simple act is very effective for bringing yourself back to the present moment and will reignite your "can do" spirit. My favorite question for setting the priorities of my to-do list is simply, "What is the most effective thing for me to do right now?"

4. Energize Your Brain by Changing Your Physiology
Stand up, sit down, go for a short walk, go to the bathroom... just take a moment to change your physiology. This is a great way to boost your energy and get your mind back in gear. My favorite way to reengage the brain is to do a few "Cross Crawls". This is where you simply stand up and march in place. As you march in place you touch your knee with the opposite hand. So for example, when your left knee comes up you will cross your right hand over and tap that knee. Then when your right knee comes up you will cross your left hand over and tap that knee. A few minutes of Cross Crawls will wake up your left brain and your right brain as each side is involved in this exercise. (It's a bit like making circles on your stomach while tapping the top of your head... or is it the other way around?) Anyway, Cross Crawls are easy and very effective in waking up your brain so you can easily get back to the work at hand.

5. Set the Clock for a Specific Chunk of Time
A great way to get more of the truly important things done is to pick ONE priority and set out to spend a designated chunk of uninterrupted time working toward its accomplishment. My mentor uses 33 minutes for her designated chunks of time; however I use 28 minutes. I use 28 because in numerology 2 represents "faith that things will work out" and 8 represents "abundance". Choose any time amount you want however it is most effective to keep it under 40 minutes. Keeping it small will make it feel do-able no matter how hurried or busy you are on any given day - and it will feel great when you accomplish one, two, three or even more chunks of designated time working on something that will move you even closer to your desired success!

6. Express Your Gratitude
A great way to increase your SuccessEsteem™ is to acknowledge those things you are grateful for with a sincere "Thank You."

Saying "Thank You" is about being truly and genuinely grateful for all that you have in this moment. Being truly and genuinely grateful for all that you have opens up space for more good things to come into your life.

Whether you are experiencing a time of abundance or a time of lack, being mindful of the good things in your life will keep you in the present moment and in the present moment there is peace, joy, safety and abundance.

7. Acknowledge Your Successful Progress
This is one of the most effective ways to crank up your SuccessEsteem™!

To put the true power of acknowledging your successes into appropriate perspective I must first remind you that most people try to motivate themselves by dwelling on their failures and mess-ups. So hear me when I tell you that dwelling on your past failures will never, ever motivate you toward success. It is appropriate to learn from your past mistakes, however, it is not appropriate or effective to use your past mistakes in an attempt to punish yourself into creating success.

So, from this day forward, vow to only use your past mistakes as a learning tool and to consistently empower yourself by acknowledging your successes, your progress, and the unique skills you have to share with the world.

8. Connect with Someone You Cherish
Feeling "connected" to other people is an essential part of life. As human beings, we crave connection on a very primal level. So use this to your advantage by making a point of connecting with carefully selected people in a meaningful way every single day! You can send a quick email to someone you haven't connected with in a while or you can post a quick Facebook note on someone's wall that will brighten their day! It doesn't have to be a time-consuming connection. You can get a great deal of positive energy from making simple and meaningful connections on a regular basis with people you genuinely like.

9. Reconnect with Your Own Soul
Authentic SuccessEsteem™ is not boastful, it is about having a deep and sincere connection with your genuine worthiness for the success you seek.

You are never going to be "perfect" so it is important that you accept yourself just as you are and make the very best of what you have to share with your loved ones and with the world.

You can quickly and easily reconnect with your soul and your genuine worthiness by making a list of the things you like about yourself or making a list of your most positive characteristics.

Lastly and perhaps most importantly...

10. Think of Someone or Something You Really LOVE and Imagine Loving Yourself THAT Much!
This one shouldn't need much explanation. Just simply think of someone or something you really LOVE and imagine loving yourself THAT much!

Mmmmm... what a marvelously warm and happy way to feel about yourself!

Success Esteem is about feeling deeply and genuinely worthy of the success you seek because you know you are motivated to create your success for all the right reasons!
So, use these ideas to prevent momentary feelings of self doubt or low energy from turning into a full-blown self sabotaging event that takes up more of your precious time and energy than it deserves!
Persist until you succeed! You really are worthy of whatever success you seek for yourself!

FINALLY:
From www.ajokeaday.com - 04/29/11:

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "why is the bride dressed in white?"

"Because white is the color of happiness," her mother explained. "And today is the happiest day in her life."

The child thought about this for a moment. "So why is the groom wearing black?"

Crying in the Rain

Written by Howard Greenfield (15 Mar 1936 – 04 Mar 1986) and Carole King (b. 09 Feb 1942)

Recorded by The Everly Brothers, 1962

Recorded by a-ha, 1990
 

I'll never let you see
The way this broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride
And I know how to hide
All the sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know
That I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from Heaven
Could never wash away my misery
Since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
Raindrops falling from Heaven
Could never wash away my misery
Since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you never see

Some day when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But 'til then darling you'll
Never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
To hide these tears I hope you never see

Some day when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But 'til then darling you'll
Never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from Heaven
Could never wash away my misery
Since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you never see

Some day when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But 'til then darling you'll
Never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the... rain
