Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight star in John Schlesinger's
Oscar-winning drama based on the novel by James Leo Herlihy. Texan
dishwasher Joe Buck (Voight) dreams of making it big in New York.
Convinced that he can make his fortune providing sexual favours for
wealthy women, he makes the move to the Big Apple. Unfortunately,
the first woman he beds down with, Cass (Sylvia Miles), doesn't
have any money to speak of, and borrows some of his. At this point,
sleazy street-hustler Enrico 'Ratso' Rizzo (Hoffman) enters the
frame, offering to become Joe's 'manager'. The only engagement he
can arrange is with a gay Christian (John McGiver), but Joe and
Ratso soon become close friends, fantasizsng to each other about
the millions they are going to make. The film won Oscars for Best
Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, while both
Hoffman and Voight were nominated for Best Actor.
Winner of the Academy Award'" for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay, Midnight Cowboy also boasts Oscar* nominated performances by Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight and Sylvia Miles. Dustin Hoffman gives an unforgettable performance as Ratso Rizzo, a scrounging, sleazy small-time con man with big dreams. Jon Voight is magnificent as Joe Buck, the good-looking, naively charming Texan 'cowboy' who is convinced that he is the salvation of many lonely, love starved New York women. These two characters are drawn together in this powerful and compassionate film.

WORKING WITH YOUR CHAKRAS is a clearly written and easy-to-use book
which brings esoteric chakra knowledge into a Western perspective.
You will discover how connecting with your chakras enables growth,
healing and balance to take place in all areas of your being -
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Ruth White explains that
much chakra work is of self-help nature. Through exercises and
colourful visualisations and meditations you will unlock a wealth
of information about yourself. Unsuspected strengths or gifts will
emerge and information essential to full physical and emotional
healing will be revealed. Above all, the self-understanding you
will gain through contact with your chakras will help you to live
more fully and make more dynamic and exciting life choices.
In "A Man Was a Real Man in Them Days," Ruth Burns celebrates the
life and character of the pioneers who dared to challenge the vast
prairie of the Llano Estacado of Eastern New Mexico. In the 1880s
along the Rio Grande and Pecos Rivers, the cities of Santa Fe,
Albuquerque and Ft. Sumner were bustling centers of commerce, but
on the High Plains, due to the lack of dependable water, the
prairie was inhabited only by occasional outlaws, Indian hunting
parties, Hispanic mustangers and buffalo hunters. After the Civil
War, cowmen began to bring their herds to the plains; and in 1898
when the railroad came, homesteaders poured in, lured by promises
of free land. Barbed-wire fences were put up, and the day of the
open range was at an end. Using interviews and letters collected by
her mother in the 1930s and 1940s, Burns reveals the courage,
determination, and good humor of these first settlers by using
their own words, recorded while they were still living.
Gregory Peck gives an Oscar-winning performance as lawyer Atticus
Finch in this crime drama adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning
novel by Harper Lee. In Alabama in the 1930s, Atticus defends a
black man accused of raping a young white woman while his children,
Scout (Mary Badham) and Jem (Phillip Alford), play in the street.
The controversial nature of the trial, taking place in the racist
culture of the Deep South, leads the local townsfolk to turn
against Finch and sees his family become the victim of a series of
terror attacks. As well as Peck's Best Actor statuette, the film
won another two Academy Awards with an additional five nominations
including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress in a
Supporting Role (Badham).

In Karma & Reincarnation, Ruth White ponders the imponderables
and helps bring sense to life's BIG questions: Why do we suffer?
What can we do about the problem of evil? Are we paying for past
mistakes? Karma literally means both "action" and "fate". The
hand-in-glove theories of karma and reincarnation provide a working
hypothesis to bring greater meaning and purpose to our lives.
Karma & Reincarnation presents a clear, working definition
of karma and reincarnation, free of dogma and jargon. White draws
on Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian roots, offering a straightforward
discussion on the meaning of karma in each tradition. She presents
a sane and useful look at how karma and reincarnation work in our
relationships and in society at large.
With practical exercises and real-life examples, this thoughtful
and hopeful book helps us:
-- discover our key themes and karmic triggers. What comes up over
and over?
-- begin to let go of "old stuff; "
-- and make the choices that make a difference in everyday
life.
For anyone seeking a useful definition of karma, free of any
religious or doctrinal influence, Ruth White provides a clear and
practical guide. She shows us karma's necessary connection to
reincarnation and its important applications for contemporary life,
making, a distinction between the true meaning of karma and the
commonly held notion that it's all about punishment for past
errors.
Ruth White's exploration of chakras and energy flow teaches us how
they can be used to improve our lives and promote physical, mental,
emotional, and spiritual development. Each chapter addresses a
different aspect of life -- family relationships, love and passion,
sex, power and creativity, age and wisdom, death and rebirth -- and
provides simple exercises (49 in all), meditations, and creative
visualizations that help you connect more deeply with your body's
chakra energies. White also shares channeled wisdom from her guide,
Gildas, case studies from her own healing work, and advice on
colors, fragrances, gemstones, prayers, and affirmations that
resonate with the chakras. Using Your Chakras is a practical,
clearly written, easy-to-use guide you can immediately put into
practice to heal relationships and release blocks related to sex,
money, and authority.

years, has written this book at the request of missionary schools
who want to train educators to serve in Muslim countries. The book
covers the personal perspectives and experiences in Iran during her
time of service and her own perspectives on relating to those of
the Muslim religion that she learned from interaction with her
Muslim students, friends and co-workers.The books of Moses were the
only text that she was allowed to use in her religious education
classes in both Sudan and Iran and this presentation is fairly
representative of what she taught. Parts of this book are devoted
to her use of the new teaching technique of using literary methods
to teach science and other non-literary subjects. This book is
timely, as it addresses today's new interest in teaching Bible
truths throughout school curriculum.

presumably, one's self.

to interpret the findings; the inner child and how it can/does
affect adult choices, and creative approaches to solving
blocks.
