When one thinks of a Dream Catcher, one brings up an image of a round object made of a fake wood-like material, with a sting in the middle woven in an intricate pattern on the inside of the circle. The outside of the ring is adorned with feathers that drape down. But what is its purpose? Where did it come from? There is more to it than people realize.
Monday, October 29, was another visit of another monster- Hurricane Sandy. The devastative impact of this storm through the 29th and the 30th was just unspeakable.

Millions of people have since been displaced and already in need of emergency relief.

While Wrath of the Titans was a good action movie, the plot left something to be desired. It is the sequel to Clash of the Titans, an equally horrible movie in terms of plot and character development. While the cast is quite impressive in terms of acting chops, there is not any real acting happening, unless you count fighting with swords acting. The film has very little going for it, but the same cast, plus a few new faces.

The ceremony took place on February 26, 2012, at the Hollywood and Highland Center in Hollywood, Calif., and was televised live in the United States on ABC.
