You say you have a plan for me
And that you want the best for my life
Told me the world had yet to see
What you can do with one
That's committed to Your calling
I know of course what I should do
That I can't hold these dreams forever
If I give them now to You
Will You take them away forever?
Or can I dream again?
Surrender, surrender you whisper gently
You say I will be free
I know but can't you see?
My dreams are me.
sometimes I forget that He is in control of my life. that what I want might not be what His plan is for me. and that sometimes things might not happen in the way that I want them to but He is still in control of my life and I need to surrender to Him.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
He has a plan for me, for my future, for now and for my life and I should trust Him. whether it's what I'm going to do later in my life or a test in school I need to trust that He is in control and He is doing what is best for my life. and sometimes I don't listen to Him and I wonder why everything is not going the way I want it to and everything is so horrible. but really I just need to surrender my life to Him. because He is in control, and He won't let me fall.

Ceccano is a town and comune in the province of Frosinone, Lazio, central Italy.The town had its origins as an ancient Volscian citadel that surrendered to the Romans in 424 BC.[1] Its name in ancient times was Fabrateria Vetus.According to tradition, the name was changed into the current one in the early Middle Ages, in honor of one Petronius Ceccanus, father of Pope Honorius I. Conquered by the Lombards at the time of King Aistulf (c. 750), later it became an important fortress of the Papal territories. From 900 to 1450 it was ruled by the local Counts of Ceccano, most likely of German origin; later their territories were assigned to Rodrigo Borgia by Pope Alexander VI and then to the Colonna family.
The history of the castle goes through three phases.
The first is the Medieval phase, when the rock was the centre of the Ceccano's counts dominion, which enclosed the two opposite Lepini's mountainsides. In this period the castle owned the keep, the Palatium and the Turris picta.
The second phase is linked to the the dominion of the Colonna family which started in 1523. In this period the rock was turned into a jail and it hosted a General Hearer who managed the dominion. In 1734 Fabrizio Colonna decided to trasfer the Law Court from Pofi to Ceccano and in this circumstance a structure of two floors was added to the castle.
In the third phase the architect Antonio Cipolla directed the works of reparation which conferred to the castle a neogothic façade and a crenellated bench. The last floor was converted to a place of residence and the buildings situated on the right of the courtyard come from this period.
In 1973 the jail was closed and the castle was abandoned for 30 years. In 1993 the Municipality of Ceccano bought it at an advertised bidding.
The Municipality, according to the the new reparation works, decided to break down all the buildings which had got no affinity with the primary structure. The primary façades were maintened to allow a good reconstruction of the three phases: Medieval castle, Colonna's castle and the 19th century dome. These works were the centre of a lot of controversies because the Municipality did not rebuild the 19th century crenellations.
Ceccano è un comune italiano di 23.083 abitanti della provincia di Frosinone nel Lazio. Per abitanti è la quinta città della provincia.Ceccano è l'antica Fabrateria Vetus, città volsca, già esistente nel 330 a.C., situata lungo le rive del fiume Sacco denominato dai Romani Trerus o Tolerus. Il collegamento Ceccano e l'antica Fabrateria si fonda su antiche iscrizioni rinvenute tra il Settecento e il'Ottocento nel territorio comunale. Nel Martirologio Romano del 2001, Fabrateria Vetus è citata in riferimento a San Magno, patrono di Anagni. Questo obbliga a riscrivere la storia del grande santo che, fino ad oggi, si credeva martirizzato a Fondi. Patria di San Silverio I Papa (come scritto da papa Gregorio XVI nella Bolla in cui elevava a Collegiata la Chiesa di S. Giovanni Battista in Ceccano) che nacque nella contrada di Campo Troiano, odierna Cantinella', la città fu per ordine del Pontefice cinta di mura difensive, in minima parte ancora visibili .
La storia del castello dei conti de Ceccano passa attraverso tre fasi.
Nella prima fase, quella medievale, la rocca fu centro della grande Signoria dei conti de Ceccano che si estendeva a cavallo dei due opposti versanti dei monti Lepini. In questo periodo il castello comprendeva la torre mastio, il palatium e la turris picta.
La seconda fase è legata al dominio della famiglia Colonna, subentrata nel 1523 ai de Ceccano. In questo periodo la fortezza, che ospitava un Uditore Generale tramite il quale i Colonna amministravano la città , fu adibita a carcere. Nel 1734 Fabrizio Colonna decise di trasferire a Ceccano il Tribunale Generale dello Stato di Pofi, insieme all'archivio e alle carceri. Questa circostanza comportò un ampliamento della struttura che venne dotata di un edificio di due piani ospitante il tribunale e di altri corpi di fabbrica per le crescenti necessità .
La terza fase vide il marchese Filippo Berardi incamerare, alla fine del XIX secolo, tutti i beni del feudo Colonna. Il castello venne sottoposto a restauro per opera dell'architetto Antonio Cipolla, che conferì all'edificio forme neogotiche nelle facciate, merlature al terrazzo di copertura del corpo principale e delle torri e finestre a bifora nell'ultimo piano, trasformato da sottotetto a residenza. Appartengono a quest'ultimo periodo anche gli edifici situati alla destra del cortile residenziale.
Dopo la chiusura del carcere nel 1973, il castello rimase per circa trent'anni abbandonato fino a quando nel 1998 venne acquistato dall'Amministrazione Comunale tramite un'asta pubblica.I lavori del successivo restauro, eseguiti non senza polemiche riguardo alla mancata ricostruzione delle merlature ottocentesche, hanno previsto la demolizione di tutte le costruzioni recenti e incongrue all'impianto originario dell'edificio e ai suoi ampliamenti, con il fine di recuperare il più possibile le facciate originarie e consentire la lettura delle tre differenti fasi costruttive: castello medievale, castello dei Colonna e palazzo di fine '800.

Jamaica, Queens, New York City, New York, United States
Prospect Cemetery, the early graveyard of the small town of Jamaica, is one of the few remaining Colonial cemeteries in Queens. In the early 1600s, this site was part of the land belonging to the local tribe of Indians known as the "Yemecah", meaning beaver, an animal which thrived in the area. In 1656, a group of English colonists petitioned the Dutch Governor-General, Peter Stuyvesant, to grant them a settlement which was near today's John F. Kennedy Airport.
Apparently, this site was not satisfactory, and later in the same year, the colonists moved northward, and described themselves: "We owners by purchase from the Indians and grant from the Governor and Council — living at ye new plantation near unto beaver pond, commonly called Jamaica -- ... have reserved unto ourselves 10 acres of planting land a man ...." The Dutch called this area "Rustdorp", but after the surrender of the colony to the British, "Jamaica" was used exclusively.
In its first year of existence, the settlement elected Daniel Denton, a member of a family which was to remain in the area for generations, as clerk of both the town and church, illustrating the interrelationship between church and government in this early period. It was not until thirty years later, in 1686, however, that Jamaica was granted its charter as a village by British Governor, Thomas Dongan.
The earliest record of the cemetery dates from November, 1668, when townsman John Wascot was hired to enclose the "burring plas", then ten rods square, with a fence, five rails high.
The cemetery was established, therefore., shortly before 1668, since it is doubtful that the town would allow such hallowed ground to stand unprotected for very long. Several references were made to the "burring place" during the 17th century, when citing other locations in the town.
The cemetery was generally known as the Presbyterian burial ground, since it was associated with the Old Stone Church built in the 1690s, which stood near today's Union Hall Street. Due, however, to the close interaction of church and state -- the church served also as the town hall -- the cemetery was as well the property of the Town of Jamaica.
The Presbyterian congregation in Jamaica came to blows with the Episcopalians in 1704, when the property belonging to the Church was confiscated and turned over to a representative of the Church of England, William Urquhart, an Episcopalian minister. Urquhart occupied the parsonage for five years, until he died in 1709.
Shortly afterwards his wife surrendered the property to Reverend George McNish, a Presbyterian minister. However, simultaneously, another Episcopalian preacher arrived in Jamaica, who thought he should occupy the parsonage. Ultimately, the decision, aided by. the authority of the Presbyterian sheriff, was made by the town, and Reverend McNish moved into the parsonage.
In 1753, the intimate relationship between church and town came to an end when it was voted at a town meeting to grant the land set apart for the use of "a minister of Presbyterian denomination" to the Presbyterian Church and congregation, for them "to have and to hold ... forever in trust". The cemetery, however, was not specified as part of this transfer.
As late as 1879, the Town of Jamaica still retained title to the original burying ground, but it may be possible that the Presbyterian Church used the cemetery, while not actually owning it. When the Presbyterian Church applied to Governor William Tryon for incorporation in 1775, "a cemetery for the interment of their Dead" was mentioned, but whether this was the town burial ground, or another separate graveyard, is not known.
During the Revolutionary War, the men of Jamaica, many of whom were buried in the cemetery, played a prominent role.
This area, was essentially a Loyalist stronghold, but a militant minority formed a local Committee of Correspondence and Observation to popularize patriot sentiment. The Committee chairman, Elias Baylis, died in 1777 and was buried in the cemetery. The tombstone erected over his grave after 1843 tells of his long suffering at the hands of the British during the war. Captain J.J. Skidmore, also buried here, formed a band of Minutemen, made up of local soldiers, which later became part of Colonel Lasher's First New York Battalion. This group held Cobble Stone Hill Fort during the Battle of Long Island.
The early graveyard was entered from an extension of Beaver Road, on the north side of today's Prospect Cemetery. Gradually, in the first half of the 19th century, its size was increased as various individuals purchased the land surrounding the cemetery and laid it out in family plots. Although it had been a common practice to bury one's relatives in their family farm property, when the farm was sold, often the family remains were removed.
One such instance occurred in 1840, when Garret Nostrand sold his family farm at the Wallabout and purchased a lot in the Jamaica graveyard in order to bury the boxes containing the remains of his ancestors. Such private lots as these extended the boundaries of the cemetery at Its western and its northern ends.
Still another reason for the purchase of cemetery lots was the incentive for profit. One of the largest lot holders was Isaac Simonson, a local carpenter, whose house stood on a large tract of land to the south of the original burying ground. In 1841, Simonson purchased some land to the west of the cemetery and subdivided it into lots for sale. He advertised these burial plots as "adjoining the old Presbyterian Burial ground", and today this section forms the western extension of the cemetery.
Three acres were added to the cemetery in 1856, when Nicholas Ludlum, a wealthy New York City hardware merchant whose family had long resided in Jamaica, purchased the land between the east side of the "old burying ground" and Prospect Street (today's 159th Street) from the Long Island Railroad Company.
The addition encompassed "about 10 lots", most of which Ludlum sold. According to an article in the Long Island Farmer of 1856, Ludlum planned to improve and beautify the cemetery grounds. In the next year, 1857, Ludlum, at his own expense, had a small chapel erected, as a memorial to his three daughters, each of whom had died at an early age.
Ludlum's first daughter, Cornelia Maria, died at the age of thirteen, while the next, Mary Cecelia, lived only to the age of one, and his third, Mary, who had married Lewis Cass, Jr., the U.S. Minister in Rome, died at the age of twenty one. Called the Chapel of the Sisters, the building was to be used for family interment.
Small in scale, this Romanesque Revival style chapel is of random ashlar fieldstone with decorative light brown-colored sandstone trim. The gable-roofed structure, originally crowned with handsome iron cresting, has gabled porticoes at both its 159th Street entrance and its cemetery side. Since the chapel was used for burials, the funeral party no doubt entered the chapel at the 159th Street entrance, and after the services made its way to the grave site through the cemetery doorway.
A large round arch, completely enframed with alternating voussoirs of fieldstone and sandstone, leads to the deeply recessed arched doorway at the 159th Street entrance. Above the door, a stone tympanum, encircled by an inscription, is ornamented with the religious symbols of the Bible and a cross, as well as a scythe, representing death. This portico, like that at the cemetery side, is embellished with sandstone quoins and also a row of corbels which follows the rake of the gable.
On the cemetery side, the large round-arched door, now filled in, is flanked on either side by small, narrow arched windows with sandstone trim. At the north and south ends of the chapel, large stained-glass rose windows elegantly pierce the heavy fieldstone walls. The chapel was a handsome addition to the cemetery, and it remains today one of its principal points of interest. This three-acre Ludlum extension greatly changed the configuration of the older graveyard, since the cemetery was now entered from the east at Prospect Street (159th Street), with the more recent grave sites near the chapel.
The cemetery, consisting of a number of different sections added over a 200-year period, was taken over by a single group in 1879, when the Prospect Cemetery Association of Jamaica Village, Inc., was formed. This is the first record of the name "Prospect" for the cemetery. Before the Prospect Cemetery Association acquired the property, the cemetery was still owned by the Town of Jamaica. Eventually, the Association, which still exists today, received title to all of the cemetery grounds.
Very little has chanced in Prospect Cemetery since the end of the 19th century, save for the addition of new graves, narked frequently by tall obelisks, which contrast vividly with the earlier, smaller gravestones. During the summer of 1976, selected family grave sites were cleared of debris and brush as part of a Bicentennial Project, sponsored by Community Planning Board 12 in Queens.
Prospect Cemetery is a valuable reminder of much of the early history of Queens, and especially of Jamaica. The earliest section of the cemetery begins approximately at the site of the Raynor family plot and extends to the west, to join Isaac Simonson's 1841 addition.
This original portion is also much narrower than the present graveyard and totals an area of 165 square feet. Many of the old tombstones are of brownstone with various types of ornamentation. It is believed that the earliest gravestone in the old part of the cemetery dates from 1709.
Another old tombstone is that of Thomas Wiggens, who died in 1728, His brownstone grave marker is carved in a very simple manner with his name and the date of death. The 1737 tombstone of Thomas Walton is more richly carved. Its three-arched top is ornamented with an angel's head of a primitive design, and a decorative curvilinear motif extending along either side. The angel head was a common theme on gravestones and occurs quite often in the cemetery.
The brownstone grave marker of Obadiah Mills, who died at the age of twenty six on September 17, 1773, also displays an angel with wings. In some instances, skulls replaced the angel's head. Many of these early grave markers, also ornamented with curvilinear designs, are' of limestone.
A number of Revolutionary War veterans, many of whom served with Skidmore's Minutemen, are buried in the cemetery. These include several members of the earlier generation of the Ludlum family who were part of the Minutemen band. Increase Carpenter (1733/6-1807), who fought in the Battle of Long Island, is also buried here.
One of the most renowned figures in the cemetery is Egbert Benson (1746-1833), who in 1794 served as Justice of the Supreme Court and in 1801 was Chief Justice of the U.S. Circuit Court, which was abolished soon after. Benson then retired to Jamaica, where he died.
Behind this old section of the cemetery, extend the lots sold by Isaac Simonson. Since these date from a later period, a few obelisks characteristic of the later 19th century, may be seen there.
It was common for Negroes to be excluded from white cemeteries, and such was the case with Prospect. One exception, however, was made and is recorded as: "Jane Lyons, a colored woman, who upwards of 65 years was a faithful and devoted domestic in the family of James Hariman, Sr., of this village, died December 19, 1858, Age 75 years."
Many names of the important early families of the area appear throughout the cemetery, and these include Sutphin, after whom Sutphin Boulevard was named, and Van Wickes, for whom the Van Wyck Expressway was named. Relatives of many of the original settlers of the Village of Jamaica continued to be buried in the cemetery at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.
These graves are marked by ornate tombstones and tall granite obelisks. A descendant of one of the early local families, John H. Brinkerhoff (d.1903), the village supervisor, and his wife Laura (d. 1891), have a richly decorated tombstone, topped with a small ornamental sarcophagus, incised with the letter "B".
The very early origins of the cemetery, together with its 19th century additions, make it an important part of the history of Jamaica. Its early Colonial period is marked by the picturesque tombstones of many members of the town's prominent families, as well as several veterans of the Revolutionary War.
The Simonson and Ludlum additions border, in part, the old graveyard and are occupied by many 19th-century obelisks. The fine Romanesque Revival Chapel of the Sisters is a particularly handsome feature of the cemetery and is a monument to an important local family, the Ludlums. The cemetery remains today in a well-preserved state, due primarily to the care and interest of the Prospect Cemetery Association.

"Arizona's World War II Memorial: Guns To Salute the Fallen. World War II began for the United States with a surprise attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and ended in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945. The two most striking reminders of these events are the sinking of the USS Arizona and the Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri. As a tribute to all the United States service men and women who sacrificed their lives for our freedom during World War II, a 14-inch gun barrel from the USS Arizona and a 16-inch barrel from the USS Missouri serve as two visible bookends to this conflict. Between the gun barrels, steel pillars in the shape of a battleship hull honor the 1,902 Arizona men and women from various branches of the military who died in the war. The 400-inch limestone horizontal marker connecting the USS Arizona and USS Missouri gun barrels is divided into one-inch increments. Each inch marker represents 1,000 military lives and symbolizes the more than 400,000 U.S. service men and women who died during World War II. The 14-inch gun barrel from the USS Arizona, barrel #41L3, was not on the ship at the time of the sinking. It had been relined, then placed on the USS Nevada and participated in D-Day and Operation Dragoon. The 16-inch gun barrel from the USS Missouri saw service at Okinawa and Iwo Jima. From the center flagpole east of the anchor, looking west to the first marker (BB-39) is 608 feet. It represents the length of the USS Arizona from bow to stern. From the center flagpole east of the anchor, looking west to the second marker (BB-63) is 887 feet 3 inches. It represents the length of the USS Missouri from bow to stern. The nine sets of blue steel pillars represent the nine minutes it took for the USS Arizona to sink after being hit by bombs from Japanese aircraft. Hon. Ken Bennett, Secretary of State 12/7/2013"
it's been a while since i posted any new photos. between working 40+ (at times) hours at work and going to school full time, i haven't been able to do much photography for myself.
this photo was a result from a shoot that i did with a good friend a few days ago. i felt like it illustrated the word "surrender" pretty well. i may post some more of photos from this shoot up sometime soon.
i hope you are well.
Unconditional Surrender is a series of sculptures by Seward Johnson (San Diego, Sarasota and Hamilton) and this couple were on a mission to pose next to them.
There was a possible copyright infringement to Alfred Eisenstaedt's photograph V–J day in Times Square en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Legendary_kiss_V%E2%80%93J_day..., published in Life in 1945 which is still protected by copyright, but Johnson successfully argued that he had used another photograph of the kissing couple taken by Victor Jorgensen which is in the public domain en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kissing_the_War_Goodbye.jpg.
That was the feeling I had when I tracked this bird to traverse across the sun. In spirituality, a consequence of surrender to the God is one's merger with Him. For me, this image signifies the beginning of that stage.

Charlie, my grandmother's dog, playing with me! I really like the shot, even if the resolution's not the best ..
It was hard to convince her to do this portrait but finally she surrender and I am pretty thankful for that. I was thinking Latin America is a leader in strong make up but Miss Luba proved I was wrong. Unfortunately she wasn't smiling for the photo so U can't appreciate golden teeth. I know it looks cruel but my intention isn't to ridicule her. For me she is a fantastic freak and I am truly appreciating her aesthetical decisions and courage. Chapeau bas Lady Luba :)
