Тhe verbs: занимать and заниматься

[david-us.livejournal.com]

I would appreciate it if some of you native speakers could give me several example sentences (with the English translation) using both of the verbs занимать and заниматься. Try to use the verbs in their most common usage. I'm particularly interested in any direct objects associated with занимать. I'm trying to differentiate between the two. I realize that one is reflexive - but I'm still having difficulties.

Thanks!
