Looking every inch the loyal assistant, Molly finally surrendered after licking, sniffing and generally sticking her nose into every element of this very rudimentary photo set-up. After repeated use of the famous "ah-ah-ah-ah-ah" dog command, she sighed loudly and flopped in a heap, utterly defeated. She's such a drama queen.
Robert Edward Lee was an American soldier known for commanding the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia in the American Civil War from 1862 until his surrender in 1865. "I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself".
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.
In praise of the true art of femininity, we talked about surrendering and finding the kind stillness that brings out our most significant breakthrough. Show up on yourself amidst the chaos and into where you most need to be. Gain insight at amandabiccum.com/surrender-the-true-art-of-the-feminine/!
This Fort is divided into 3 zones. The Red Zone shows how this part of the world was involved in World War II. The Yellow Zone exhibits the life of a soldier at the fort. The Blue Zone, which is a tunnel complex under Mount Siloso, leads to the Gun Tower. At the Red Zone, there are exhibits that illustrate the Fall of Singapore to the Japanese during World War II. It also has wax dioramas representing the surrender of the British, and then the surrender of the Japanese. Here is the entrance to the 'Surrender Chambers', ths the room housing these exhibits is now called. (Oct. 2009)

Charlie, my grandmother's dog, playing with me! I really like the shot, even if the resolution's not the best ..
One hundred and forty-six years ago, one of America's greatest presidents established Thanksgiving amidst a national crisis; civil war. No matter our own crisis; economic, emotional, sickness or personal, Abraham Lincoln's thoughts still apply. Comfort, peace and rest are found when we surrender to the Almighty God and thank Him regardless of our circumstances. I am thankful to Abraham Lincoln for establishing this day as a reminder that every day I need to be thankful to God for all He has done.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Proclamation Establishing Thanksgiving Day
October 3, 1863
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle, or the ship; the axe had enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years, with large increase of freedom.
No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-eighth.
A. Lincoln

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch"
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things"
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines"
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
Cheap Trick
Tears and Rain
How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.
I guess it's time I run far, far away;
find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same:
it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say,
but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words:
it's just tears and rain.
How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.
I guess it's time I run far, far away;
find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same:
it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say,
but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away;
find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same:
it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words:
it's just tears and rain

Alric Bravin shakes his head, his fingernails digging into the fabric of the chair. Kade couldn't have done that. "I just don't think she'd endanger the twins like that," he says, his voice hollow. After her actions when she'd found out Fal was his, however, made it all the more plausible. "Dia, my ID may not be completely on the Up and Up, if you get my drift. I couldn't take a chance. Not when Fal's involved." He lets out another sigh and closes his eyes. "I guess I have no choice but to talk to her."
Fallon Claymore tips her head up, and says softly. "Fine. Forget the twins for a moment. She tried to have me arrested by the UAC. Does that matter to you at all? Do you know what the UAC has done to me Alric?" She caught her breath and bit her lip. "That has to matter to you a little." She almost sounded pleading. "And yes, Talk to her. That woman is Evil. Catfights over your bon rien behind aside." She was pulling away from him. His reaction, to fallon, said a good bit. "You know, Alric... I can solve this. I can fix it and she won't ever know it was spoken. I give up."
Dia Kuhn Licks his lips and looks directly at Alric. "Fallon pregnant wit ya babies. Dat prolly mean dat she looked at as a home wreckah, not ta mention da lub, time, attention an credits you gon be gibbin ta dese girls. We all animals, when it git boiled down, an females do wat dey got ta do sometimes ta git tid ob da competition." he sighs. "Fallon been through enough. We wasn't habin a big ol loud party. Why dat UAC Marine come knockin on my office do? Most ob da time I ain't eben IN me office but ten minutes at a time ....." He looks at Fallon with a concerned look. "I don know wat ya got on ya mind, but I doubt i like it, Fallon." he says. "Mebbe it .. safah if someone ELSE claim dem babies as deres .... an not yours, Alric ..." he suggests.
Alric Bravin whips his head around to Fal, his mouth agape and his eyes flashing in the light. "I meant Kade's feelings for you aside, she wouldn't hurt the twins. MY own personal feelings had nothing to do with that statement," he says, his voice strained and soft as he feels his chest tighten. It felt like it was trying to cave in on itself. "Jesus, Fal, don't do this to me. I can't handle that right now." He looks back over at Dia. "No."
Fallon Claymore says quietly, "She can have you. If my daughters lives are the cost of spending some time with you, no matter how I feel, It isn't worth it. Tell her you've broken it off with me. And you've sold me. Dia can take over ownership of me and the girls." Her face was expressionless, her voice even... But a tell tale color was rising in her cheeks despite her outward calm. "No ultimatums. She wins. Tell her I said she wins." Her eyes glittered slightly with unshed tears, and she looked upwards, blinking rapidly for a moment to keep them from falling. She wouldn't risk it happening again. She had to keep calm. She had to keep calm. Calm. Her heart rate sped up. "You love her. You love her first, and she loves you. I don't really fit in that picture, not with her. I can't risk she'll lash out again and I get hurt. If I get hurt, they do."

"The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property, between former masters and slaves and the connection heretofore existing between them, becomes that between employer and hired labor. The Freedmen are advised to remain at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts; and they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere."

▶"Juneteenth falls on June 19 each year. It marks what is arguably the most significant event in American history after independence itself—the eradication of American slavery.
For centuries, slavery was the dark stain on America’s soul, the deep contradiction to the nation’s founding ideals of “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” and “All men are created equal.” When Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, he took a huge step toward erasing that stain.
[The Emancipation Proclamation declared all slaves to be freed in the Confederate States of America in rebellion and not in Union hands. Lincoln urged the governments in the border states, which had remained in the Union, to free their slaves under a system of gradual abolition but none did so.]
The full force of Lincoln's proclamation would not be realized until June 19, 1865—Juneteenth, as it was called by slaves in Texas freed that day.
The westernmost of the Confederate states, Texas did not get news of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomatox that April until two months after the fact. But they heard once Union Gen. Gordon Granger, a New Yorker and West Point graduate with a distinguished wartime service record, arrived in Galveston Bay with more than 2,000 Union troops. It was on June 19 that he publicly read General Order No. 3, which began: “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.”

My life's philosophy: surrender. Surrender everything you have and all that you are to the one who made you and loves you, and experience life in the joy of Christ.
That's my life's philosophy.
