Smith Magazine
Smith Magazine is a U.S.-based online magazine devoted to storytelling in all its forms. Smith's content is participatory in nature, and the magazine welcomes contributions from all its readers. The magazine has made a name for itself with its original graphic novel projects Shooting War, A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge, and Next Door Neighbor; and with its series of Six-Word Memoirs projects. Most of these projects have since gone from web to print publication, from such publishers as HarperCollins, Pantheon, and Grand Central Publishing.
History
Smith was founded January 6, 2006 — National Smith Day — by writer/editor Larry Smith and designer Tim Barkow. Previous to launching Smith, Larry Smith was articles editor of Men’s Journal, and has been the executive editor of Yahoo! Internet Life, and senior editor at ESPN Magazine, and a founding editor of P.O.V. and Might magazines. Tim Barkow is a former editor at Wired and the online general manager at Portland Monthly.
The site focuses on "personal media": blogs, memoirs, diaries, viral videos, social networks, "the mash-up between the professional and the amateur, and art projects rooted in personal. It’s all about the highly personal take on everything." Since its 2006 launch, Smith has been heralded as “a vision for the future of populist storytelling,” “a gigantic cocktail party to which everyone is invited to come, listen, and contribute their own personal stories," and “the pulse of today’s cultural narrative."

Kris
The kris (Ngoko Javanese: ꦏꦼꦫꦶꦱ꧀ ;Krama Javanese: ꦮꦁꦏꦶꦔꦤ꧀;Ngoko Gêdrìk: kêrìs ; Krama Gêdrìk: wangkingan; lit. "to slice") is an asymmetrical dagger with distinctive blade-patterning achieved through alternating laminations of iron and nickelous iron (pamor). While most strongly associated with the culture of Indonesia the kris is also indigenous to Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, Singapore and the southern Philippines where it is known as kalis with variants existing as a sword rather than a dagger. The kris is famous for its distinctive wavy blade, although many have straight blades as well.
Kris have been produced in many regions of Indonesia for centuries, but nowhere—although the island of Bali comes close—is the kris so embedded in a mutually-connected whole of ritual prescriptions and acts, ceremonies, mythical backgrounds and epic poetry as in Central Java. As a result, in Indonesia the kris is commonly associated with Javanese culture, although other ethnicities are familiar with the weapon as part of their culture, such as the Balinese, Sundanese, Madurese, Banjar, Thais, and Filipinos. It is also highly associated with and a part of Malay and Moro (Muslim Filipino) culture.

The Bridge (2007)

Plot: Success is an indefinable personal and unique experience; a culture that has no governing body. You achieve it and you are in. If you don't remember anything else remember, for every man who has acquired success there is another one actually pursuing it. And in the case of the film The Bridge, pursuing it hysterically. Imagine having no idea what success looks like. Is it possible to wake up each morning with everything imaginable to suggest that you are successful and still be a complete failure? Is it possible to have no education, money, or social status and be well on your way to success? Darnell Smith had it all-a new promotion, a beautiful wife, a home in an exclusive neighborhood in the suburbs, a six figure salary and a luxury vehicle. If only that was what he truly wanted out of life. He is the definition of success-at least from the perspective of Jalen Johnson, a 26 year-old hustler from the city. Jalen has made a career out of mediocrity and has yet to find a suitable career that will leverage his greatest asset-being unaccountable. Facing the biggest challenge of his career and closing a highly sought contract, Darnell must balance the challenge of negotiating the deal with mentoring his undeserving understudy. Watch their ideals of life, love, and family collide as Darnell attempts to transition Jalen from a jobless swindler to businessman. Can this unique opportunity end in success despite tremendous gaps in understanding and a high degree of unfamiliarity? Maybe the bridge is all anyone ever really needs to get beyond unfamiliarity, find ones true self, and pursue his passion.
Genres: Comedy,Quotes:
Darnell Smith: Success is a culture, now you can live to succeed or live to fail. There are ruels to both there are dress codes for both. Success is color blind, as long as you are willing to play by the rules.Smith, Kris Filmography
