Culture / Memorial Day Quotes And Sayings 2016 by guptashanker198: 10:28am On Mar 31, 2016
Freedom comes at the cost of many lives. On Memorial Day we like to remember and thank those fallen heroes that died fighting for our country. This honorary day is celebrated across the United States of America on the last Monday in May. Memorial Day tends to be confused with Veterans Day. The former is a remembrance of all those men and women that lost their life while serving in the armed forces, while the latter celebrates those who served in the U.S. military. On this day many people visit cemeteries and memorials to honor all of those heroes with many volunteers placing an American flag on each grave. The U.S. flag is raised to the top of the staff and then lowered to half staff, where it stays until noon. After that it is raised to full-staff for the rest of the day, which is symbolic as the flag rises and so is their memory by the living who promise to not let their sacrifice be in vain and continue to fight for liberty and justice for all. Take a read at some inspiring quotes on this Memorial Day. Also Check : Memorial Day Quotes

On thy grave the rain shall fall from the eyes of a mighty nation! ~Thomas William Parsons

Although no sculptured marble should rise to their memory, nor engraved stone bear record of their deeds, yet will their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored. ~Daniel Webster

With the tears a Land hath shed
Their graves should ever be green.
~Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Are they dead that yet speak louder than we can speak, and a more universal language? Are they dead that yet act? Are they dead that yet move upon society and inspire the people with nobler motives and more heroic patriotism? ~Henry Ward Beecher

Green sods are all their monuments; and yet it tells
A nobler history than pillared piles,
Or the eternal pyramids.
~James Gates Percival

Is’t death to fall for Freedom’s right?
He’s dead alone who lacks her light!
~Thomas Campbell

For love of country they accepted death… ~James A. Garfield

They fell, but o’er their glorious grave
Floats free the banner of the cause they died to save.
~Francis Marion Crawford

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. ~From a headstone in Ireland

Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead!
There’s none of these so lonely and poor of old,
But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold.
~Rupert Brooke

The brave die never, though they sleep in dust:
Their courage nerves a thousand living men.
~Minot J. Savage

The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example. ~Benjamin Disraeli

Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.

Culture / Ding Junhui And Joe Perry First Two Through To This Year's World Grand Pix by guptashanker198: 3:30pm On Mar 12, 2016
Ding Junhui and Joe Perry first two through to this year's Snooker World Grand Prix.

Ding Junhui came from 3-1 down to beat Thepchaiya Un-Nooh 4-3, becoming the first man into the semi-finals of the Ladbrokes World Grand Prix in Llandudno. Also check : Snooker world live

In a high quality match, Un-Nooh won the opening frame with a break of 97, then Ding levelled with a 92 before Un-Nooh went on to make an 84 and 74 to lead 3-1.

Ding made 51 in frame five then Un-Nooh had a chance to clear for victory but missed a red on 34.

China's Ding then capitalised to pull one back before making a 65 in the next for 3-3.

And Ding finished in style with a superb 108 in the decider, which included a clever planted red early in the break when he seemed to have run out of position.

"It was very tough today,” said Ding, “I managed to stay in a good frame of mind even when I was 3-1 down.

“Thepchaiya played even better than he does in practice and he was winning frames in one visit. He played with a good rhythm and with confidence.

“Tomorrow will be best of 11 frames and I need to take my chances as quickly as possible to get some momentum. Whoever I play against tomorrow, I just have to play my own game.”

The World Number 12 will now face either Shaun Murphy or Liang Wenbo who face each other later this evening.

In the other afternoon quarter-final, Joe Perry reached his second ranking event semi-final in Wales within a month as he beat Ali Carter 4-1 at the Ladbrokes World Grand Prix.

World number ten Perry got to the last four of the Welsh Open three weeks ago and he’s now through to the same stage in Llandudno.

After sharing the first two frames, Perry took the third with a break of 87 and made a 66 in the fourth. Carter clawed his way back and got the snooker he needed on the yellow, but Perry eventually potted the green to go 3-1 up. And he compiled runs of 37 and 33 in the next to seal the result.

“What has pleased me most this week is that my mannerisms and tempo have been good,” said Perry. “I have kept in control of myself and when you do that you always have a chance. I’m striking the ball well and I felt comfortable today. This is a good spell of the season for me, I have put in a lot of hard work on the practice table and I’m getting results.

“It will be tough tomorrow whoever I play. Ryan has been in form for a while and for me he is the best player never to win a ranking event. Stuart may not have had the best season as World Champion but that’s a problem I’d love to have next season!”

Two more wins would give him the top prize of £100,000 and a second career ranking title. The Cambridgeshire cueman will face Stuart Bingham or Ryan Day on Saturday afternoon for a place in the final.
Culture / Happy Easter Wishes And Messages by guptashanker198: 4:16pm On Mar 11, 2016
Easter is a time of renewal and a time of rising up and rejoicing. We celebrate Easter because Jesus—betrayed by Judas Iscariot—was put to death for spreading God’s love and his word throughout the land. Jesus rose on Easter Sunday having washed away our sins so that all who worshiped in God, could be saved. The Easter egg became a part of the celebration due to its role in the Easter feast held by Catholic parishioners after Lent. The Easter lily is a more recent addition, and is the symbol of purity, faith, and life everlasting. Also check : Easter Wishes

Happy Easter Quotes and Sayings

The empty tomb stands, a veritable rock, as an essential element in the evidence for the resurrection. To suggest that it was not in fact empty at all, as some have done, seems to me ridiculous. ~J.N.D. Anderson
The simple fact that the Christian fellowship, founded on belief in Jesus’ resurrection, came into existence and flourished in the very city where he was executed and buried is powerful evidence for the historicity of the empty tomb. ~Dr. William Lane Craig

Ah, how many Marahs have been sweetened by a simple, satisfying glimpse of the Tree and the Love which underwent its worst confict there. Yes, the Cross is the tree that sweetens the waters. ‘Love never faileth.’ ~Jim Elliot

Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world. ~John Piper

I dug around to find these famous Easter quotes. A few I had heard before but didn’t know who had said them. I love seeing how so many famous people have had their own unique thoughts about Easter.

I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history. ~H.G. Wells

I am within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that ever were built, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that One Solitary Life. ~James C. Hefley

I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are very wise and very beautiful; but I never read in either of them: “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden.” ~Augustine

No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life. ~Albert Einstein

You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. ~C.S. Lewis

All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning. ~Oswald Chambers

The biggest fact about Joseph’s tomb was that it wasn’t a tomb at all – it was a room for a transient. Jesus just stopped there…on His way back to glory. ~Herbert Booth Smit
