"One criterion for my painting is to present the cultural life and activities of the Sioux Indians; dance, ceremonies, legends, lore, arts . . . It is my greatest hope that my paintings may serve to bring the best things of Indian culture into the modern way of life."\n\nOscar Howe

The number 111 is sometimes called a "nelson" (particularly as a score in cricket or darts) after Admiral Nelson, who allegedly only had "One Eye, One Arm, One Ball" near the end of his life. (This is sometimes bowdlerized to say that he lost "One Eye, One Arm, One Life" during his naval career.) Another suggestion is that the number is derived from his three great victories, thus Copenhagen, Nile & Trafalgar which gives the sequence "Won - Won - Won".\n\nA score of 111 or multiples thereof (called "double nelson", "triple nelson" etc.) is considered an ill omen in cricket, because the figures "111" resemble a wicket without bails. Some people, most notably David Shepherd, develop superstitions around nelsons.

Many books and entire college courses are devoted to the topic, so I do not believe that I am going to touch much in the short space of this forum.\n\nFrom the time period of the great cave paintings, art has had the ability to represent the common place to render it special.  Art includes both he visual arts and the performing arts and as such can evoke strong emotional responses in the human mind.\nArt “touches” us as living beings.\nWhether to record the label of a can of soup or preserve the beauty of Venus or remind us that “Loose Lips Sink Ships” or to promote the purchase of “War Bonds” art is part of the record and the driving force of culture.

I like "Tattoo". It reminds me of "Desperados Waiting for a Train" by Guy Clark. Both talk about men once tough growing old. Thanks for asking.

The air was taken from a traditional Irish dance and march tune, "Oró Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile" (Translated as "Óró, you are welcome home") and is in the dorian mode. The same tune has also been used for other songs, notably Ten Little Injuns.\n\nThe music was first reproduced in printed form in 1824–25 in Cole’s Selection of Favourite Cotillions published in Baltimore. However, the lyrics were first published in 1891 under the title "What to do with a Drunken Sailor?" Another version from 1921 was subtitled Windlass and Capstan and collected and edited by R. R. Terry.

There was a Sylvester Stallone movie from 1981 called "Victory". It was about a group of POW's that get a soccor game against the Germans, but really do it as an escape plan.

Dance brings you into alignment with The Great Spirit,.....all that is.......is God.  They believe in remaining close to The Great Spirit, so ceremonial dance brings well-being to mind and body.  They dedicate a share of their efforts to the greater good......rain dance to defer drought conditions.  They also treat the earth and all that dwell thereon with respect.\n\nI have attended a Native Amercial dance at our Melbourne Indiginous Culture Fair, and met with 'Blue Feather' a very large Indian man, whom was a 'guest of honor' on that day, invited and flown over by friends of mine from America for this event.  He in turn has extended invitations to us to come to visit him.  I wish I could go.......\n\nBlessings be yours in light and peace,\nHarriett Potty ;)

Sieg Heil! or "Victory and Hail!" (lit., Sieg "victory" Heil "welfare") was a common Nazi chant at rallies, especially after the speeches of Hitler. Usually the words would be repeated three times to form the chant "Sieg...Heil! Sieg...Heil! Sieg...Heil!".

The individual colors don't have any significance on their own. It's the rainbow that makes the flag.\n\nThe rainbow flag was used in the 60s and 70s as a counter-culture hippy banner, a sort of bringing it all together gesture.\n\nAfter the assasination of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, the flag began being used A LOT in San Francisco, and that's when it really became the official queer banner.

The symbol in the background means juxtaposition of love and hate/anger, or life and death. The symbol is sported as a tattoo by many HIM fans, including professional skater and "Jackass" stuntman Bam Margera

A statue of the Hindu Goddess Kali. She, for me, represents the feminine aspect of the Divine. Two pieces of art work with eagles. Eagle is one of my more important Totem animals. A turtle shell. Turtle represents the sort of Native American medicine I work with. A stone with a natural hole in it. Like the statue, this represents the feminine aspect of the Universe, and that's important to me. And a pentacle. Which represents, for me, certain aspects of European metaphysics that are important to me because of the Universal truth I found there. ~ Peace & Blessings ~ BTW ... I'm not religious. ;-)

It is a day of celebration of when the Mexican army defeated the French. There was just a program on the Discovery channel about 2 hours ago about it! Check the listing I'm sure it will be on again.
