Yup, so, disregard everything you read in this video. Avatar's not coming back till July. Enjoy the rest of your hiatus. The Five Stages of Avatar Episode Denial Grief The stages are: Denial: "It can't be happening. Nick can't do this to us again." Anger: "Why us? It's not fair. SpongeBob fans don't know how freakin' lucky they are." Bargaining: "Just let Avatar last long enough for us to see the rest of S3. Please Avatar gods help us." Depression: "I'm so depressed, why bother with anything? I give up on Avatar." Acceptance: "It's going to be OK. The episodes have to air sometime or I can buy the DVDs." *Thanks Lisa31468!! This is my "Back From Hiatus!" Trailer, for lack of a better word (if anyone has a more clever title, don't hesitate to suggest). INFO ABOUT THE VIDEO: I made this entire thing in 4 days. Seriously. Check my iTunes purchase list, I bought this song on Wednesday! I honestly couldn't stop. It followed me everywhere, it drove to school with me, it ate lunch with me, it haunted my dreams!!! So, I figured, might as well finish it. I think it's pretty cool. Although, the song is eerily similar to one Shockerz used in his series fan trailer... but I'm 99.4% sure they're completely separate songs. We'll call it payback for the request he made that almost killed me. ; ) Enjoy, rate, and comment!! Since I beleive my honors will be gone tomorrow: #42 - Most Discussed (This Month) - Film & Animation #20 - Top Favorites (This Month) - Film & Animation #18 - Top Rated (This Month) - Film & Animation Song: Unstoppable by E.S. Posthumus (with help from random other instrumentals, none significant enough for me to expose my findings). Song Edited?: Um, yeah. Completion Time: 29 hours... yeah that's about 7 hours a day... Program Used: Sony Vegas 7.0 I discredit all video and audio used here, Avatar The Last Airbender belongs to Mike and Bryan, and the evil overlords of Viacom.

Yaad Piya Ki Aaye Please note: there is a mistake in the first plate, it appeared during processing and however often I processed it again, it always came. I have therefore uploaded the same clip into google video in mpg format this is the faultless version. He inherited the musical parampara (tradition)of Punjab that encompassed the Hindu, Muslim and Sikh religions.Saint Hazrat Bulleh Shah, whose Sufiana Kalam (Sufi song)is sung even today, was buried in Kasur, Ghulam Ali's birth place. The shepherds, wandering in the hills,sang in praise of Hazrath Ali andHussain -- grandsons of Prophet Muhammad -- in melodies akin to classical Indian ragas. The shabads and qawwalis of the Sikhs were often based on ancient Dhrupads and Khayals, again Indian classical ragas. In the biography of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, authors Malti Gulani and Quratulain Haider have paid a rich tribute to the maestro.Ghulam Ali's uncle and guru, Ustad Kale Khan,was himself trained in the Patiala school of music (Patiala gharana); he taught the young Ustad simple compositions. In 1911, Ghulam Ali accompanied Kale Khan to Delhi, at the age of 9, and watched him perform at the 'Dilli Darbar'. Thus began the grooming and development of the musicalpersonality of the young disciple, alongside rigorous taleem (training) under his uncle's baton. Later after a brief acquaintance with ucknow and its highly refined soirees, Ghulam Ali returned to Lahorewith his father and resumed his nightly riyaaz (practice)on the banks of the river Ravi. Singing all night not only developed his stamina, but also gave him the rare sensitivity to gauge the external response. In 1932, he lost his wife Allah Jiwai. His grief, poured into melody, gave birth to the immortal thumri: Yaad piya ki aye,reflecting the very trauma of his heart. On arrival in Mumbai in 1940, Ghulam Ali thrived under the benign patronage of the noted singer Ganga Bai. A Sufi at heart, he was once greatly moved by the poem Hari Om Tat Sat, and rendered it musically in the haunting raga Pahari. Years later, he explained, "God, Truth and Haq is one. I've Allah in my mind when I sing these words...Different people in the world have different names for the Supreme Being who is 'One'. In 1947, he visited Afghanistan at the invitation of King Zahir Shah and re-established the splendid rapport in music between the Afghans and Indians,where the Afghan string instruments like Rabab and Santoor were part of the Hindustani ensemble. Many Indian musical instruments still retain their Persian roots, such as Tabla, derived from Persian tabla;Sitar meaning seven strings and Dilruba being a longer version of Sarangi.The Partition in 1947 dealt a severe blow to the composite culture of the Indian subcontinent. But Ghulam Ali at a concert organized by Radio Lahore sang his own composition in raga Mian ki Todi: Ab Mori Raam / Raam ri Daiyyan (Ram is my only solace). In 1951, he was invited by Morarji desai to have Indian citizenship and sing at concerts all over thecountry. According to the cognoscenti,earlier the Ustad's singing was like the sound of the waterfall striking against the mountainside and rushing with great force to mingle with the ocean; now it resembled the vast ocean itself whose might and depth was unfathomable! In 1963, Ghulam Ali shifted to Kolkata where he was frequently invited to sing before highly appreciative audiences. He would say: Maharashtrians are great connoisseurs of classical music, with their approach being technical and academic. The exuberance, which the people of Kolkata show, is characteristic of their emotional and artistic nature!It is in Kolkata that he took young Malti Gilani (singer and later his biographer) as his gunda-bund shagird (committed disciple). She has noted how the open house atmosphere prevailed at the Ghulam Ali residence - reminiscent of the Sufi Khanas and hospices of the Middle Ages. In such places -- as even in the Dargahs today -- a cauldron of rice was always being cooked for the yraveller and food distributed to the rich and the poor alike! In this respect, theSufis of Islam, the Bhaktas of the the Vaishnava cult and the Catholic mystics of the Medieval Europe - they all shared a similar spirit of tolerance and bonhomie. After having accomplished a lot, Ghulam Ali breathed his last in 1968 in Hyderabad -- far away from the green wheat fields of Kasur on the eastern seaboard of India. That he always took his listeners on an inward journey of musical understanding and fulfillment remained true to his last day. This biography provides an insight not only into the music of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan but into the history of Indian classical music at large. *** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCrzVnHSYoQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZJlzgs5bUo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMQtmYUv-ig
