Dream Brother Lyrics - Jeff Buckley
Review The Song (17)
There is a child sleeping near his twin
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
That dark angel he is shuffling in
Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled
The love you lost with her skin so fair
Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
Her green eyes blew goodbyes
With her head in her hands
and your kiss on the lips of another
Dream Brother, with your tears scattered round the world.
Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came...
I feel afraid and I call your name
I love your voice and your dance insane
I hear your words and I know your pain
Your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
Your eyes to the ground
and the world spinning round forever
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over...
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
That dark angel he is shuffling in
Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled
The love you lost with her skin so fair
Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
Her green eyes blew goodbyes
With her head in her hands
and your kiss on the lips of another
Dream Brother, with your tears scattered round the world.
Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came...
I feel afraid and I call your name
I love your voice and your dance insane
I hear your words and I know your pain
Your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
Your eyes to the ground
and the world spinning round forever
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over...

Treasure each for their own beauty. | Reviewer: diebuchen | 8/27/11
I was a great fan of Tim Buckley's music back in the day, and was introduced to Jeff Buckley in that way. Their music is so different in many ways, yet alike somehow. I love them both: which is better, gold or platinum? I don't know. If you read Tim Buckley's biography, "Blue Melody" you know at least one of the verses to Dream Brother is about his father, Tim.
Tim knew he had been a bad father to Jeff, and apparently was going to make amends, but died before he could do so, according to "Blue Melody."
Tim died in 1975, not 1979 as indicated by a previous reviewer.
hooked forever | Reviewer: hannah | 7/20/11
found Jeff Buckley in a very strange way, was listening to Paolo Nutini singing dolphins,on YOUTUBE, and someone commented on Tim Buckleys version, so went there and someone commented on his son Jeff, bought GRACE album just for hallelujah, and only listened to a couple of songs on it,I had a remote control for hifi, so skipped past most songs on it, thought the rest were too noisey!!! when remote broke I was too lazy to bother skipping songs, Thank God for that!!! as after a couple of forced listenings, I became completely hooked!! anyway this beautiful song, as with all his other ones has a strange under-current which speaks to the soul, and captivates, unmatchable, love Jeff Buckley!! gorgeous man, and soul, if you've read all of this then you must love him as much as me, hehe, cheers
Beautiful song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/2/11
This song totally changed everything for me. It haunts me! I never knew what it was actually about. I always assumed it was about considering leaving someone you love for someone else, dreaming of that person, kisses on the lips of another... But regardless the arrangement, musicianship and the overwhelming emotion drives me insane. I can't stop loving this track.
What I Think | Reviewer: Buckley Fanatic | 10/6/09
I wrote alot but bear with me.I heard that Jeff Buckley had a friend who was a musician. And he was having a bad marriage life. The guy wanted to leave his family behind. Im guesshng Jeff made this song to make the guy understand the error of his ways. But deep down Jeff saw a similarty in this situation to his life. Jeff Buckleys father Tim Buckley was also a musician.In 1966 at just age 19 he married, had a child (Jef Buckley), and released his 1st self titled debut album Tim Buckley. Tims music life affected his marriage which lead to a divorce. Tim left his child behind, to pursue his tragic dream of bieng a renowed musician. He created a barrage of great albums but they were all shunned for its experimentations. Tim would later marry another woman, but he felt devastated for the absence of his child. Tim clearly adresses this in his song Dream Letter. Pherhaps he adopted his second wifes child to ease his mind about it. Since the day he left them, Tim Buckley would only manage to see his 8 year old son only once in his life. The struggkes of success got to Tim and hed enter a world of drugs. Tim would quit but one 1979 night after a sold out concert, Tim would go to friends in search of heroin. They didn't want Tim to take drugs but they gave it to him anyways. Tim took a heavy dose and fell into an immediate coma. After quickly bieng transported to his wifes house, the little attempts to revive him failed. Paramedics announced dead on arrival. He was 28. Tim Buckley left his child, his love behind to create wonderful music.But all he did was alienate his fanbase and die in debt, that is very tragic. News of Tims death would arrive to a young Jeff Buckley who back then was known as Scott Moorhead. Jeff would not attend Tims funeral. After the funeral Scott Moorhead decided to officialy change his name to Jeff Buckley. Jeff would later grow up to be a musician like his father surpassing hm in fame. But alas that fame was shortlived. Jeff would drown in a freak accident. Hed barely outlived Tims death he war 30 years old. Getting on to point, Dream Brother [crazy resemblance to Dream Letter] was more directed to Tim Buckley and Jeffs pain. The musician was just an excuse to write this song. The term dream brother now an unknown phrase used to adress those who never had their mother/father in their life. (Note: There was also a small conspiracy to the line "asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over". some people thought this line meant something of death which lead some to believe the odd scenery it gives you resembles Jeffs mysterious death was probably suicide.) P.S.: If any one read this freaking long essay,....I say thank you for your time.
Reminds me of... | Reviewer: Sergio Contreras | 9/25/09
I am not really into this guy, but recently my wife pushed his music on me and once i heard this song i made an instant connection to The Doors' The End song. really such a beautiful piece. Even though i could barely understand the lyrics i know it had to do with something deep and personal. I remember saying, "Cant understand what hes saying, but you know its something strange. Gotta love it." Well glad i finally looked up the lyrics. Adding as one of my all time favorites.
on and on | Reviewer: ben | 9/1/09
thanks to my sister! I went to buy new David Gray's new release, but it was not out yet!
then she introduced me to Jeff B.. Bought the cd without questioning!
.. result? I've been listening dream brother ever since, on and on! incredible guitar and drums! I think there is something which reminds me Jim Morrison.. maybe in his emotional voice! but much more fine than him!
Haven't listen Tim's music yet! what do you rekon?
ciao from Italy
It's a song he wrote for Chris Dowd | Reviewer: Wofats | 6/18/09
"Dream Brother" is Chris Dowd (Former member of Fishbone).
Chris' marriage had come to a crash and Buckley is asking his friend to not end up doing to his children what his father did to him. (Not have much to do with their lives.)
Jeff appears on Chris' album "The Seedy Arkistra".
'N stuff!
Love the new Buckley live disc "Grace Around the World" that just came out.
Dream Brother | Reviewer: Colourblind_Kurt | 5/26/09
I also think it's about lost love and with a message for his father too, and maybe saying "don't do what my father did"... Don't be like the one who made me so, don't be like the one who left behind his name... Or this is how I feel about it, sometimes we listen to music we can relate to, and we find our own meanings to them. That is why it touches us so deeply... especially with Jeff's voice, so filled with emotions (like he's playing on the strings of our soul, as a special someone told me once)... whatever, it's such a beautiful song... Thanks Yavin for introducing me to Jeff Buckley :p
Perfection | Reviewer: Lee | 4/24/09
Without wanting to beat about the bush, I think this is the best song of all time. Every version. The album version for its haunting beauty, the olympia version for the rollercoaster voice style, the chicago one for the repeated "flying buckley" operatic notes, the sony one for the intro you never want to end. And the rest. Simply art.
amazing however misinterpreted | Reviewer: Django | 4/25/09
I personally think the song is about abandoment. He is in love with someone that he knows is going to leave him, "The love you lost with her skin so fair...and your kiss on the lips of another" and he's asking her not to in the chorous saying everyone else has left me dont be like all the rest of them. In the end he's lost his love and wants to die because of it, "Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over"

Exams and TestsThe first step in the diagnosis of arthritis is a meeting between the doctor and the patient. The doctor will review the history of symptoms, examine the joints for inflammation and deformity, as well as ask questions about or examine other parts of the body for inflammation or signs of diseases that can affect other body areas. Furthermore, certain blood, urine, joint fluid, and/or x-ray tests might be ordered. The diagnosis will be based on the pattern of symptoms, the distribution of the inflamed joints, and any blood test and x-ray findings. Several visits may be necessary before the doctor can be certain of the diagnosis. Earlier and accurate diagnosis can help to prevent irreversible damage and disability. Properly guided programs of exercise and rest, medications, physical therapy, and surgery options can idealize long-term outcomes for arthritis patients. An opinion regarding the cause or the type of the arthritis can usually be adequately obtained by consulting a general family doctor. It is often unnecessary to see an arthritis specialist (rheumatologist) for this purpose. However, if the diagnosis or treatment plan is unclear, a rheumatologist might be consulted. A rheumatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the nonsurgical treatment of rheumatic illnesses, especially arthritis. Rheumatologists have special interests in unexplained rash, fever, arthritis, anemia, weakness, weight loss, fatigue, joint or muscle pain, autoimmune disease, and anorexia. They often serve as consultants, acting like medical detectives at the request of other doctors. Rheumatologists have particular skills in the evaluation of the over 100 forms of arthritis and have special interest in rheumatoid arthritis, spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid syndrome, Still's disease, dermatomyositis, Sjogren's syndrome, vasculitis, scleroderma, mixed connective tissue disease, sarcoidosis, Lyme disease, osteomyelitis, osteoarthritis, back pain, gout, pseudogout, relapsing polychondritis, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, serum sickness, reactive arthritis, Kawasaki disease, fibromyalgia, erythromelalgia, Raynaud's disease, growing pains, iritis, osteoporosis, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and others. When specific organs are affected by disease aside from the joints associated with the arthritis, other medical specialists might be consulted. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Arthritis

text: 08/28/2012 WVU researchers receive $444,000 NIH grant Study will examine the effects of exercise on depression and arthritis MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Two researchers in the West Virginia University School of Public Health, George Kelley and Kristi Kelley, have received a $444,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study the effects of exercise on depression in adults with arthritis. Depression is a major public health problem in adults with arthritis. The title of the research project is "Exercise and Depression in Adults with Arthritis: An IPD Meta-Analysis." WVU biostatistics professor George Kelley, D.A., will serve as the principal investigator along with research technician, Kristi Kelley, also from the WVU Department of Biostatistics, and co-investigator, Jennifer Hootman, Ph.D., from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Ga. The specific aims of the project are to determine the overall effects of community-deliverable exercise (aerobic, strength or both) on symptoms of depression in adults with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. This is a two-year project that will look at related studies published over the past 30 years. Dr. Kelley's team will examine previous studies for emerging trends related to exercise, depression and arthritis in adults. "The results of this first-ever project, conducted by a team of experienced investigators who have an ongoing history of successful collaboration on similar projects, will provide evidence-based recommendations regarding the effects of community-deliverable exercise on depression in adults with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. This study will provide new and important information regarding the treatment of adults with selected types of arthritis at the community level," George Kelley said. The grant is funded by the NIH's National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, which supports research into the causes, treatment and prevention of arthritis and musculoskeletal and skin diseases. The grant number is RO1-AR061346. -- WVU HSC -- 12-156 For more information: For More Information: email@example.com dc: 06-21-12 Return To News Releases

On the day his war finally ended, Tech. Sgt. John Quinn was in no mood to party.
An ordnance specialist, Quinn had for two years supervised a team of airmen at Pusan East Air Base as they armed and loaded bombs aboard B-26s.
For the past few weeks they'd kept up a frenetic pace as United Nations forces jockeyed with their Chinese and North Korean opponents to gain the best position before the truce everyone knew was coming. Timed fuses, proximity fuses, napalm, phosphorus — who knew what would give our side a few extra miles of real estate when the curtain came down?
"We had to work as hard and as long as we could," said Quinn, now 81 and living in Omaha. "I was sick, with dysentery or something. I was just burned out — I couldn't do any more. When they announced the war was over, I thought 'Just in time. I can't make it any longer.' "
He might have been speaking for a whole country, sickened by the bloody stalemate that ended 60 years ago this week — on July 27, 1953 — after the exhausted foes negotiated an armistice. The truce brought silence to front lines along the 38th Parallel dividing communist North Korea from Western-allied South Korea.
Peace, though, remained elusive. Quinn expected to go home but would find himself lingering in Korea longer than expected. So would the U.S. military, which has stayed on ever since in a permanent state of alert in the face of repeated provocations from a Kim family dynasty of dictators now in its third generation.

The Korean War left only the faintest imprint in the memories of most Americans who didn't serve there, and might have left none at all if not for the popular 1970s TV series "M*A*S*H."
Yet historians say the war transformed the U.S. armed forces from a post-World War II skeleton into a military machine on a permanent state of Cold War alert. It ushered in a bigger jet-age Air Force, a branch formed only three years before the war.
Locally, the war gave form to the Omaha metro area's dominant military presence today. It would compel the Pentagon to bulk up the Bellevue-based Strategic Air Command — the forerunner of today's U.S. Strategic Command — to counter the Soviet nuclear threat that the Korean War brought into sharper focus.
"The (Korean) war itself put the United States on a Cold War footing," said Daniel Harrington, StratCom's deputy command historian. "It probably makes SAC and strategic deterrence a lot more permanent."
When Kim Il Sung sent his forces across the slender Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas on June 25, 1950, the United States and its allies could hardly have been less prepared. He and the Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin, believed South Korea was too weak to resist and that the United States — which had not intervened a year earlier when China's government fell to a Communist insurgency — would not consider South Korea important enough to fight for.
They were right about South Korea but wrong about President Harry Truman, who reflected on the unchecked aggression of Japan and Germany in the 1930s and thought it best to intervene. Taking advantage of a Soviet boycott, he persuaded the U.N. Security Council to raise a force, which would be commanded by U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
"I felt certain that if South Korea was allowed to fall," Truman wrote years later in his autobiography, "Communist leaders would be emboldened to override nations closer to our own shores."
Kim invaded South Korea on the same day that 2nd Lt. Dick Newton of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., married Ruth Halladay. He had been commissioned as an Air Force officer upon his graduation from the U.S. Military Academy 18 days earlier.
"It was just a whole new reality," recalled Newton, now 85 and living in St. Petersburg, Fla. "It certainly gave us something to talk about on our honeymoon."
The Korean War would decimate Newton's class. By September, seven of his West Point classmates would die in action. Before the armistice was signed, the toll would reach 41.
Ultimately the Korean War would claim more than 36,000 American lives.
As a young Air Force officer, Newton spent the next 18 months in flight training. Later, a combat assignment flying reconnaissance missions from Yokota Air Base, Japan, would land him in the war zone for the closing months of the conflict.
But Korea certainly commanded his attention.
"We would all go to the casualty list in the Army-Navy Journal to look for our classmates," said Newton, who in the 1970s commanded the 3902nd Air Base Wing at Offutt Air Force Base. "Losing seven guys in September (1950) — that was definitely a reality check."
When the North Koreans invaded, the upstart Air Force was competing with the Army and Navy for a share of the $14.3�billion defense budget — about $139 billion in today's dollars.
"The services were fighting over the slice of the tiny, tiny pie they were going to get," historian Harrington said.
Because of the tight budget, the Air Force had largely scaled back its mission to one: deterring the growing Soviet nuclear threat.
Spearheading that effort was Air Force Gen. Curtis LeMay, the architect of the brutal firebombing campaign in Japan toward the end of World War II.
LeMay headed the Belle�vue-based SAC, which would oversee the bombing campaign against North Korea. He reshaped the command during his nine-year tenure from 1948 through 1957, and is considered a towering figure in the creation of the modern Air Force.
LeMay responded quickly. The first B-29 bombers struck on June 28, eight hours after the United Nations authorized the use of force to repel the invasion. By Aug. 1, four bomb groups had moved from the United States to Japan for the war against North Korea.
They achieved early dominance in the skies over Korea, even as U.N. forces were being routed on the ground.
"If air power hadn't been there, a lot more Americans would have died," Harrington said.
Still, LeMay was reluctant to commit his best forces in Korea. He thought the real threat was a war with the Soviet Union in Europe. He kept his top-flight forces in reserve to fight that war if it came about.
"He was balancing the demands of this (Korean) war versus a potential war," Harrington said. "He kind of took these units off the bottom of the deck."
Nor did LeMay want to use his most advanced electronic countermeasures in a conflict with relatively low stakes, even if it added to the risk facing combat crews.
"If you do, you're giving away the gold mine information the Russians would love to have," Harrington said.

As a result, the air campaign resembled those in World War II. The B-29s would primarily attack railroads, industrial areas, supply depots, airfields and other logistical targets.
But the classic bombing campaign was dangerous work in an age of technological change. The North Koreans and Chinese countered the lumbering, propeller-driven B-29s by launching jet-powered MiG-15 fighters against them starting in November 1950. The Soviet-built — and, frequently, Russian-piloted — MiGs outclassed the straight-winged F-80 and F-84 fighters escorting the B-29s, and briefly bent the air war in their direction.
The threat from MiGs, and from North Korean air defense systems, grew as ground action shifted from South Korea to North Korea in late 1950. China's intervention pushed U.N. forces back to roughly the 38th Parallel for the rest of the war.
It took the introduction of the F-86 Sabre jet to bring parity to the fighter war. U.S. Sabres and Soviet MiGs fought epic dogfights over a region along the Chinese-North Korean border that came to be called "MiG Alley."
The Sabre pilots' job was to protect fellows like C.E. Jordan, a B-29 radio operator from Virginia who flew missions over Korea for six months near the end of the war.
Jordan enlisted days after graduating from high school in 1951, wowed by a stay at an Air Force base with a cousin in the service. On Christmas Day 1952 he stepped off of a plane in Tokyo and joined the 307th Bomb Group in Okinawa a day later.
Over 27 missions he grew familiar with the tension that punctuated the long flights to Korea.
The Air Force had shifted tactics in 1951 to limit mounting B-29 losses. It stopped flying deep penetration missions after a swarming attack in April by 70 MiGs that resulted in three B-29s shot down and seven damaged. And it ended daytime runs after an October raid in which all eight bombers were damaged or destroyed by a pack of 50 MiGs.
"If you've got a slow aircraft like that, and a jet fighter comes after you, you're definitely the underdog," said Jordan, now 79 and living in Colonial Heights, Va.
The flights lasted up to 10 hours. Because the B-29s kept radio silence after the first hour, Jordan had little to do. He kept a stack of detective magazines at his post, just behind the forward turret.
U.S. aircraft in Korean War
The fiercest air combat occurred in an area dubbed "MiG Alley" in the northwest Korean peninsula. Enemy MiG-15 jet fighters took off from bases across the Yalu River in China to engage U.S. planes. The American fighters, based in the South, had only about 20 minutes of air time in the area before they were forced to head back.
F-86 Sabre: The Air Force's first swept-wing fighter dominated the skies over Korea, accounting for 792 MiGs shot down at the loss of just 76 Sabres.
F-80 Shooting Star: The Air Force's first operational jet fighter, it was used mostly for low-level rocket, bomb and napalm attacks on enemy ground targets. An F-80 shot down a MiG-15 in 1950 in the world's first jet-to-jet dogfight.
F-82 Twin Mustang: Based in Japan, the F-82 helped cover the South Korean retreat in the early days of the war.
F-51 Mustang: The propeller-driven plane saw its best days during World War II, when it was known as the P-51. It was valuable supporting ground forces in the early months of the war because of its ability to take off from unpaved runways in South Korea.
Initial American bombing targeted the North Koreans' rail and road supply traffic, but the effort was less successful once the stalemate took hold. More than 20 percent of Far East Air Forces sorties targeted roads, railroads and bridges, and about an equal number targeted enemy supply centers.
B-29 Superfortress: First deployed in World War II, the B-29 was switched to night bombing after the introduction of the MiG-15. The bomber dropped 167,000 tons of explosives during the war.
B-26 Invader: Like the B-29, the Invader was relegated to night bombing and targeted mostly enemy supplies. B-26s were credited with the destruction of 38,500 vehicles, 3,700 railway cars and 406 locomotives.

"I'd read those to keep from going to sleep," he said.
The boredom ended abruptly once they neared the target. Darkness was their friend, but all too often, the air was filled with flak.
"You look out, all you can see is orange-colored fireworks," Jordan recalled. "You know you have to fly through it."
Yet, those orange fireworks could be good news, relatively speaking.
"When you had flak, you didn't have to worry too much about MiGs," he said.
After his six-month combat tour — and a month before the armistice — Jordan was transferred to a B-36 unit in California for the final two years of his Air Force career.
"God got me through it," he said. "But I wouldn't want to go through it again."
Like Jordan, the newlywed Lt. Newton would enter the war late. In December 1952 he joined the 91st Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron at Yokota Air Base, near Tokyo.
Newton flew an RB-29, a B-29 modified to carry cameras instead of bombs. His recon work illustrated a different kind of combat mission, one that would continue until the end of the Cold War, and beyond.
Newton's missions never involved flak, and he rarely saw a MiG.
"We had missions that took us all the way from the Kamchatka Peninsula (in Russia) to the Gulf of Tonkin" off of Vietnam, he said.
They typically skimmed the waves at 100 feet above the ocean to avoid radar detection, followed by a long, steep climb four miles high — on oxygen, because the RB-29 was flown unpressurized for this type of mission. At night they would drop a flash bomb that produced one million candlepower of light.
"At 25,000 feet, from 15 miles offshore in international waters, you could catch some pretty good views," Newton said.
The signing of the truce hardly surprised him.
"The negotiations had been going on for about two years," Newton said. "When it was signed, it was almost anticlimactic."
Peace did earn the 91st Squadron air crews a three-day pass. It was cut short, though, when an RB-50 recon flight was shot down off the Siberian coast on July 29. Newton and his airmen headed out to search for survivors.
Only one member of the 17-man RB-50 crew — Capt. John Roche of Newcastle, Neb., the co-pilot — came back alive.
The incident hammered home what Newton already knew: His war was far from over.
"In the recon squadron we knew we wouldn't have to fly over North Korea, but the rest of the mission would continue," he said.
Tech. Sgt. John Quinn's war would continue, too. He had been a student at Creighton University before the war and planned to join the Air Force Reserves with some college buddies. When that fell through, he enlisted in the Air Force before the draft board could nab him for the Army.
He had hoped to join a flight crew. But he grew to like his job organizing bomb loads.
"It was like heavy work in a steel plant," he said. "We were running a business. We had to do it as efficiently as possible."
Quinn also liked the Korean people. He gathered supplies for local orphanages, with help from the people of Omaha after The World-Herald carried a story about his activities.
Quinn felt sick and mentally exhausted at the end of the war. He asked whether he could leave Korea.
"I said, 'The war is over, so I'll go home now.' "
No dice. Weeks earlier, Quinn had extended for another year in Korea. He remained until June 1954, when he transferred to Lincoln Air Force Base for his final six months of duty.
The Air Force that Quinn and Jordan left looked quite a bit different from the one they had joined a few years earlier. Defense spending quadrupled by the end of the war, to $57�billion. LeMay boosted SAC's staffing by 100,000, adding new bases in Europe and North Africa in addition to the beefed-up forces in the Far East. The number of planes jumped from 870 to 1,830.
President Dwight Eisenhower decided to rely on the Air Force and the U.S. nuclear arsenal to defend the nation.
"The Korean War ushers in that Cold War mentality," Harrington said. "(LeMay) is building that combat force that's going to be ready to go to war with the Soviet Union."
During the war, SAC's bombers flew more than 20,000 sorties and dropped 167,000 tons of bombs on nearly 1,700 wartime targets — although scholars still debate whether the massive effort significantly hurt the Communist war effort.
SAC lost 62 bombers in combat and suffered 183 crewmen killed and 59 taken as prisoners of war.
But it wrought untold havoc on the enemy, and played a key role in preserving a pro-Western South Korea that has become peaceful and prosperous.
"Our planes killed thousands of North Koreans and Chinese, we know that," Quinn said. "But we also saved thousands of American lives."
Sabre proved good match for Soviet-made jet
When China first flew the swept-wing MiG-15 jet in combat on Nov. 1, 1950, it revolutionized fighter warfare. It sidelined the World War II-era P-51 Mustangs the U.S. had fielded in the early days of the war and even outclassed the American straight-wing F-80 and F-84 jets.
Air Force leaders rushed squadrons of the speedy new F-86 Sabre into Korea. It proved a good match for the MiG. The MiG could fly higher, climb faster and turn tighter than the F-86, but the Sabre handled, rolled and dived better. It performed much better at lower altitudes.
Their builders had equipped the MiG with bigger guns for use against B-29 bombers. But the Sabres carried more ammunition and could fire faster and more accurately, giving them the edge in fighter versus fighter combat.
Fighting in "MiG Alley" along the China-North Korea border gave the MiGs a powerful home-field advantage. They could lurk, waiting only minutes away from their home bases in Manchuria. The Sabre had to fly to distant airports in South Korea or Japan for refueling.

Buoyed by the success and feeling of accomplishment on this front, I set about tackling the next assignment. This is a giant category John calls "pile creep." You know the feeling. You set aside an article to read, and then there's some correspondence that needs tending to -- not now, but later.
Handy tips to file away and more reading material get added to the pile. After all, you never know what might spur a future column idea. At least that's a noble excuse. As the pile takes on a life of its own, emergency purgery is required!
And then the verdict is in -- clean counter surfaces and shelves with additional space! You're probably aware there's a direct correlation between our environments and our sense of peace and wellbeing. And, while this differs for each of us, it's worth noting. Sometimes it's a subtle thing. The longer an item that needs repair goes unattended, the more of a toll it can take on us, particularly if it's out in the open, reminding us it needs attention. Over time, these things can contribute to an energy drain -- or a downright personal energy crisis.
By the time I finished addressing pile creep, I was into full-blown whirling dervish mode. Closets and dresser drawers didn't stand a chance. Sorting clothes and accessories was a snap, inspiring me to move on to the more challenging items of photos and CDs. I have to admit I've relegated photos to a micro project to be tackled later. That's OK, though, because this was Macro Day!
You may have gathered I extended my sphere from that spare bedroom to multiple areas of the house. Still, I was able to keep myself from getting too diverted. I set up more systems than I have in ages, and gathered quite a few bags for donation drop-offs as well as our Wednesday-morning friends, the city garbage crew.
Now the challenge of maintaining these systems is on the horizon. And I'm realistic enough to know it's a fluid thing. I'm armed with former victories, though, like the upstairs storage closet John and I tackled a couple of months ago. Simplicity is a wonderful thing.
And I know I'm not alone in this quest. Our society has not quite been permeated with a "Walden Pond" consciousness. However, my informal research of magazine covers on newsstands shows that "de-cluttering" and "organizing" have now overtaken the perennial topics of "Get Flat Abs" and "Lose Ten Pounds."
So, feel free to live on the edge. I officially deputize you to go commit some purgery of your own.

NL Central Division: Youngsters that cracked their teams' starting rotationSt. Louis has turned it into an art form, producing quality starters from their farm system, while Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and Chicago are trying to follow suit. Here's a look at the homegrown pitchers within the Central division that are now in the big leagues. Young Guns Giving young, homegrown starting pitchers an opportunity to crack the starting rotation has not really been Milwaukee's forte. At least not in GM Doug Melvin's tenure. Since he took over the job back in 2002, the Brewers have sent only a handful of starting pitchers to the mound that they have drafted and brought up through the ranks of their minor league system. Ben Sheets, Yovani Gallardo, Manny Para and Chris Narveson(drafted by St. Louis) have all had relative success at the major league level. It took a decade for the Brewers to develop that group of starting pitchers, mainly relying on signing and over paying veteran free agents to fill out their rotations from year-to-year. Apart from their NLCS run in 2011 in which Melvin traded prospects for starting pitchers Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum. Now, the Brewers have two youngsters in their starting rotation in Wily Peralta and rookie Hiram Burgos. Mike Fiers started out the year in the rotation before being sent down due to a rough start to the season. In spring training, Peralta, Fiers and 2004 first round draft pick Mark Rogers all competed for a spot in the starting rotation. The trend we are starting to see out of the Brewers that we haven't seen in years has been used by other teams in the division. Cincinnati and St. Louis, most notably, have been very good at drafting, developing and churning out talented and successful starting pitchers over the years. Here's a look at the young starting pitchers within the division, that were drafted by their team and now are starting for their club in 2013. Chicago Cubs - Jeff Zamardzija (9 GS, 56.2 IP, 2W - 5L, 3.49 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) Cincinnati Reds - Mike Leake (8 GS, 48.1 IP, 3W - 2L, 3.72 ERA, 1.49 WHIP) and Tony Cingrani (5 GS, 28.0 IP, 2W - 0L, 2.89 ERA, 0.96 WHIP) Milwaukee Brewers - Wily Peralta (8 GS, 45.0 IP, 3W - 3L, 5.40 ERA, 1.49 WHIP) and Hiram Burgos (4 GS, 21.0 IP, 1W - 1L, 6.86 ERA, 1.43 WHIP) Pittsburgh Pirates - Jeff Locke (8 GS, 45.2 IP, 3W - 1L, 3.15 ERA, 1.23 WHIP) and James McDonald (6 GS, 29.2 IP, 2W - 2L, 5.76 ERA, 1.65 WHIP) St. Louis Cardinals - Lance Lynn (8 GS, 50.0 IP, 6W - 1L, 2.88 ERA, 1.08 WHIP) and Shelby Miller (8 GS, 51.1 IP, 5W - 2L, 1.40 ERA, 0.88 WHIP) Notes: The Brewers have a collection of promising young starters on the cusp of development and breaking through to the majors. These players are one of the more talented groups that Milwaukee has brought through their minor league system in quite some time. Here's what they've done in the minors so far this season: Tyler Thornburg - RHP Nashville (AAA): 0-4, 5.59 ERA Taylor Jungmann - RHP Huntsville (AA): 3-4, 5.35 ERA Johnny Hellweg - RHP Nashville (AAA): 1-4, 4.41 ERA Jed Bradley - LHP Brevard County (A+): 3-1, 3.69 ERA Jimmy Nelson - RHP Huntsville (AA): 4-2, 2.36 ERA Drew Gagnon - RHP Brevard County (A+): 3-3, 5.45 ERA Ariel Pena - RHP Huntsville (AA): 2-3, 3.47 ERA |

MemberInfo::ReflectedType Property
Gets the class object that was used to obtain this instance of MemberInfo.
Namespace: System.Reflection
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The ReflectedType property retrieves the Type object that was used to obtain this instance of MemberInfo. This may differ from the value of the DeclaringType property if this MemberInfo object represents a member that is inherited from a base class.
If the MemberInfo object is a global member (that is, if it was obtained from the Module::GetMethods method, which returns global methods on a module), the returned DeclaringType will be nullptr.
The following code example shows how the ReflectedType changes when the member Object::ToString is viewed from a MemberInfo obtained from type Object and from a MemberInfo obtained from the MemberInfo class itself, which inherits Object but does not override Object::ToString.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Reflection; int main() { MemberInfo^ m1 = Object::typeid->GetMethod("ToString"); MemberInfo^ m2 = MemberInfo::typeid->GetMethod("ToString"); Console::WriteLine("m1.DeclaringType: {0}", m1->DeclaringType); Console::WriteLine("m1.ReflectedType: {0}", m1->ReflectedType); Console::WriteLine(); Console::WriteLine("m2.DeclaringType: {0}", m2->DeclaringType); Console::WriteLine("m2.ReflectedType: {0}", m2->ReflectedType); //Console::ReadLine(); } /* This code example produces the following output: m1.DeclaringType: System.Object m1.ReflectedType: System.Object m2.DeclaringType: System.Object m2.ReflectedType: System.Reflection.MemberInfo */

I make a pact with you, Walt Whitman -
I have detested you long enough.
I come to you as a grown child
Who has had a pig-headed father;
I am old enough now to make friends.
It was you that broke the new wood,
Now is a time for carving.
We have one sap and one root -
Let there be commerce between us

Rev. David-Maria A. Jaeger, who grew up in Israel and converted from Judaism to Christianity as an adult, has deep Austin connections. In the 1990s, he headed the Diocese of Austin's court, which decides church legal matters and rules on marriage annulments. He helped negotiate a ground-breaking treaty between the Vatican and Israel related to the fundamentals of church-state relations in 1993. He served as judicial vicar for the Austin Diocese and pastor at St. John Neumann Church in West Lake Hills for more than six years.
On Friday, he'll be installed as prelate auditor of the papal law court of the Roman Rota, which is the central appellate court for the Catholic Church. We corresponded by email last week about his new position, what it will mean and how he's taking the news.
Can you explain your new role in layman's terms? What does the the prelate auditor do, and how is that different from the other roles that you've had over the years?
My new role is a justice of the Papal Law Court of the Roman Rota. This is the highest judicial court of the worldwide Catholic Church, and in this sense is akin to the U.S. Supreme Court, although the actual words "Supreme Court" belongs to another Papal court, the Signatura, which is the highest administrative court , namely the one exercising "judicial review" over acts of the administration. The justices of the Rota are Prelates, in that they are invested ex officio with high ecclesiastical dignity. The justices are called also Auditors, because in the Middle Ages their task was simply to "hear" the cases (from "audire" = hear) in Latin, and refer them to the Pope for judgment. Later Papal legislation has invested the Auditors also with the authority to judge cases themselves. We sit in panels of three, and in cases where the law allows for further appeal, the appeal is heard by another panel of the justices of the same court of the Rota. The name "Rota" derives from the round, or semi-circular construction of the original seat of the Court.
