Crazy Train Lyrics - Bush
Review The Song (2)
crazy - but that's how it goes
millions of people living as foes
maybe it's not too late
to learn how to love
and forget how to hate
mental wounds not healing
life's a bitter shame
i'm going off the rails at the crazy train
i've listened to preachers
i've listened to fools
i've watched all the dropouts
who make their own rules
one person sonditioned to rule and control
the media sells it and you live the role
mental wounds still screaming
driving me insane
i'm going off the rails at the crazy train
i know that things are going wrong for me
you gotta listen to my words
heirs of a cold war
that's what we've become
inheriting troubles i'm mentally numb
crazy - i just cannot bear
i'm living with something that just isn't fair
mental wounds not healing
who and what's to blame
i'm going off the rails at the crazy train

History of the music | Reviewer: jadgh | 6/11/11
Ozzy has outstanded people all his life, starting in early adulthood, in Black Sabbath. ThoughI haven't been alive through all of his career, I love to listen to the music through the ages. This song was the song that got him back on his feet and sell tickets to thousands and millions of people. OZZY OSBOURNE NEVER LETS DOWN!

COP14 Begins – What Can We Expect?
The two-week COP14 climate talks which start today in Poznan Poland, are the halfway mark in a two year negotiation effort by no less than 190 countries on a replacement for the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
The new concept is way more ambitious than Kyoto which was signed by only 37 industrialized countries who committed to reducing carbon emissions to below 1990 levels by an average 5% by 2012. China, which had been hesitant about some of the issues on the table made a u-turn in its policy last December when it agreed to commit to a target in emissions reductions – on condition that it wouldn't be bound to the same limits as industrial countries, and only if the rich world assists the poor countries in transitioning to cleaner production methods.
The Poznan conference will begin reviewing ideas on how to help poor nations in their efforts to combat climate change. A major part of this will be ideas as to how to finance the technological transfer that's needed and what kind of targets are fair. Another focus point will be how to incentivize countries to successfully cut back on deforestation. Efforts will be made to agree to a time table for all these issues and achieve agreement by December next year.
Upcoming COP14 Climate Talks – What's On the Table?
As many as 9,000 participants are expected to attend the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change's 14th Conference of Parties to the Kyoto Protocol in Poznan starting tomorrow, including an official US delegation led by Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs Dr. Paula Dobriansky. Senator John Kerry (D-MA) will lead a Senate delegation. Members of President-elect Obama's transition team are also expected to attend.
The climate change talks in Poznan mark the critical halfway point between the 2007 meeting in Bali in which a draft blueprint of a global action plan was set and next year's COP meeting in Copenhagen, which is expected to result in the establishment of a global climate agreement to succeed the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.
Kerry warned that although the US is now in a position to play a leading role in global climate change negotiations, Congress and the incoming Obama administration's ability to offer greenhouse gas emission reduction incentives to rapidly industrializing countries such as China and India would be limited by the economic crisis. "The bottom line is we are not going to be in the position we were two years ago in the short term to do as much technology transfer or economic assistance in terms of transitional issues that might have led other countries to participate," Kerry was quoted as saying in a news report.
CleanTech Goes Through The Roof
Investment managers at cleantech funds are looking at the world with totally new eyes these days – the financial crisis, which has ravaged stock prices and wiped out major financial institutions, offers buying opportunities that are unprecedented. Now's the best time to snap up bargains, they say.
The hard numbers prove this ain't illogical. Investment in the US clean tech sector rose 55% to more than $2.4 billion over the past twelve months. One of the main drivers of this could be the US government's $700 billion Housing and Recovery Act stimulus package. The tax concessions boosted wind energy, geothermal and biomass projects and are expected to have a long lasting effect on the capital markets.
Weekly Green Business Wrap-Up
Apologies for the delay in delivering this weekly wrap up! I am still recovering from my Tryptophan haze.
This was a big week in sustainable business news! Read on for the biggest stories:
Five Reasons You Should Consider Generating Your Own Green Energy While 3P's own Ryan Mickle doesn't much like the idea at least as compared with other solutions for combating climate change, there are some compelling reasons for going off the grid, not the least of which is turning on every light in the house and blasting Blondie when the power goes off on your block, just to stick it to your neighbors who refuse to compost.
Electric Car Network on the Fast Track in San Francisco San Francisco joins the fine company of Israel and Denmark as one of Better Place's inaugural networks for electric cars. A couple of us from 3P were at a presentation by Better Place's founder last week, and they've got it all figured out! Plug-in parking spaces at home, work, and shopping centers, battery exchange stations, and the cars are pretty cute to boot. I'm working on getting Nick to buy us one, for business use *only* of course. Click on lots of pages, people!
LA wants a Seat at the Green Team Table LA has no shortage of sunshine, and Mayor Villaraigosa made a commitment last week to put it to better use than tanning aspiring actresses: he committed the city to reaching 10% solar by 2020. That is a fine, fine commitment, Mayor! Keep it up and we'll work on getting you a fancy electric car network too.
Can Wind Farms Change the Weather? Ecogeek has given me another reason for eco-panic insomnia. This gives the butterfly effect a whole new meaning (with one turn of the windmill…). Luckily it looks like the windfarm would have to stretch from Texas to Canada to have an impact. That doesn't mean this isn't fodder for another eco thriller B movie.
Walmart Goes Big with Two Newspopping Stories
First they pledge to buy 226 million kilowatt-hours of renewable power each year from a wind farm that's set to be up and running by April 2009 (avoiding the production of a staggering 139,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually).
Then CEO Lee Scott, champion of the superpower's green initiatives, resigns. Will this mean the end of the green happy face?
Corn Based Plastic Sales Skyrocket Sales have jumped 450% in the most recent period recorded. Now you know where to put that money you yanked out of the stock market. Just don't forget to compost your bio-plastics! (Otherwise they offgas methane in the landfill and contribute to global warming.) Just call me the eco-Debbie Downer.

Holy Solar – Vatican Installs 2,400 Panels
The German solar panel company SolarWorld has installed solar panels on the roofs of the Vatican. The Pope switched to the system earlier this week and is expected to announce drastic plans to expand on the project. The solar panels are placed on top of the massive roof of the Vatican's Nervi Hall, where the pope receives general audiences.
A total of 2,400 photovoltaic panels have been attached to this 5,000 square meter roof. They are not noticeable from the ground below and can provide all of the energy for the hall and a few other buildings adjacent to it. Exact output is 300 kilowatt hours (kWh) annually.
Breaking Out of the Oil Trap: "Big 3″ Bailout & An Open Fuel Standard
A great opportunity for the US to break free of the foreign oil trap presents itself before the incoming Obama administration and the US Congress, according to the Set America Free Coalition, a non-profit organization dedicated to breaking America's dependence on foreign oil: any use of public finance to bail out the "Big 3″ automakers should include establishing an Open Fuel Standard so that most new cars sold in the US will run on a variety of liquid fuels.
The Detroit-based automakers have conveniently shunted aside any real move towards making flex-fuel vehicles though they have said they are willing to commit to make 50% of new cars sold in the US fuel flexible by 2012. Indicative of a glaring lack of responsiveness, or sense of social and environmental responsibility, they have zealously maintained this stance despite the fact it costs only around $100 per vehicle for them to do so, according to Set America Free research.
The "Big 3″ auto executives are shuttling back and forth between their monolithic Detroit headquarters and Washington D.C., again crying wolf to lawmakers in order to preserve their own bacon. The present political-economic drama is shaping up as yet another instance of throwing good money after bad, in the form of public funds and financing no less, something that has become the norm in the US. Lawmakers can change all this by requiring the automakers to do what they've chosen not to do for decades.
Set America Free is behind a push on Capitol Hill to pass the Open Fuel Standard Act (Senate bill S.3303; House bill H.R. 6559), a piece of legislation that would catalyze the transition to flex-fuel vehicles and give the driving public their choice of liquid fuels. Enacting this legislation would be beneficial in a number of important respects: it would set us squarely down the path towards cutting the cord on our reliance on oil, imported oil in particular, thereby enhancing energy and national security, promote the development and use of cleaner, less polluting and environmentally damaging biofuels, it would be complementary and smooth the transition to hybrid electric vehicles, and it could lead to a much reduced military presence and sacrifice of life in oil-rich, geopolitical hot zones.
Moreover, it would save consumers money. The price at the pump of methanol, including taxes, distribution and mark-up, comes in at $2.03 per gasoline equivalent gallon, according to Set America Free.
Geologists Say Rock Laid Bare Under Omani Desert Can Absorb 4 Billion Tons Of CO2 a Year
Petroleum Development Oman, the state owned oil company of Oman (partly controlled by Shell), is in discussions with geologists who claim they've found a type of rock that can be used to soak up huge quantities of carbon dioxide.
The rock, known as peridotite, is layered just under the surface of a desert in Oman. The peridotite was found to react chemically with CO2, forming solid minerals. What's more, it absorbs hot water infused with a concentration of CO2 that engineers can drill deep into it.
Theoretically, the peridotite in Oman alone could take in 4 billion tons of atmospheric carbon a year and transform it into marble and limestone. Total global annual carbon emitted is around 30 billion tons.
In most places in the world, peridotite usually resides some 20 kilometers or more below the earth's surface. But in Oman, it's been pushed upwards due to geologic activity making it far more accessible.
How Will Obama's Healthcare Changes Impact Business?
The U.S. healthcare system is in sorry shape. The Commonwealth Fund Commission gave the U.S. healthcare system a score of 65 (out of 100) when compared to other industrialized countries. The overall performance of the healthcare system did not improve from 2006 to 2008, and access to healthcare decreased. The efficiency of the healthcare system continued to be low.
The U.S. spends twice the amount per capita on healthcare that other industrialized countries do, but ranks last among 19 industrialized countries. It ranked 15th last year. The rate of uninsured adults increased from 35 percent in 2003 to 42 percent in 2007. According to the Commonwealth Fund Commission, "We are headed toward $1 of every $5 of national income going toward health care."
STAR Community Index: LEED Guidelines for Entire Cities
Much as LEED™ has transformed the building industry, the people behind the STAR Community Index hope to transform the way local governments set priorities and implement policies and practices to make their cities more sustainable.
The STAR Community Index isn't the first to try and rank or rate the greenness of cities. SustainLane for example has already put out three rankings on the sustainability of cities, including creating a network for government officials to exchange best practices.
However, as SustainLane's methodology has sometimes been criticized, The STAR Community Index is taking a slightly different approach. GreenBiz writes, "The Star Community Index is the only thus far that intends to use the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design as a working model for development."
The Business of Truly Sustainable Turkey Farming
As you read this, someone close to you may be cleaning, stuffing, or slicing a turkey. Over 45 million turkeys were purchased for Thanksgiving out of the 265 million raised this year alone. The vast majority of these birds were grown on industrial farms. Perhaps your bird is organic, free range, or locally grown, but odds are you won't be dining on a heritage turkey this holiday. You may be surprised to learn just how much healthier these birds are, how crucial they are for the future of our food system, and why its hard for this niche to turn a profit.
Heritage turkeys – birds with genetic lines that predate the engineering that defines the current poultry market – are bred and raised in a traditional, humane, and sustainable manner. To meet the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy standard, they must mate naturally, live productively outdoors, and grow slowly in order to develop strong bodies. In contrast, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, 99% of American turkeys are Broad Breasted Whites. These turkeys are the product of the 1960's shift to industrial farming and have been bred to grow the maximum quantity of white meat. Such genetic selection is inhumane, dangerous to human health, and ultimately not commercially viable.
An Efficient Thanksgiving Day Turkey
The free-range turkey we bought for this year's Thanksgiving was ordered through a local organic and natural foods store. And it was about three times the cost of the conventional turkeys they were selling at the mega-supermarket.
But our turkey was raised naturally, without genetically-modified feed grown with synthetic, nutrient-depleting fertilizers. The feed wasn't covered in pesticide residue either. There was also minimal processing, minimal storage, and transportation was less than 30 miles.
From farm to table, this turkey represents the workings of a sustainable and efficient food system. A system that, unfortunately, is not more widely utilized and accepted.
UPS Adopts HP Paperless Printing Solution for Package Processing
UPS announced this month it will deploy a new combination scanner and paperless printing device developed by HP that will print millions of sorting labels directly on packages, helping Brown make further inroads on greening their operations by slashing its consumption of paper while reducing costs at the same time.
Called the HP Handheld sp400 all-in-one (kinda rolls off the tongue) The innovative device offers UPS a win-win situation by increasing efficiency and reducing waste.
"Leveraging technology innovation is critical in today's tough, competitive economy," said Dave Barnes, senior vice president and CIO of UPS. "The new HP handheld device means increased efficiency and effectiveness at a lower cost, with less waste. This is a perfect example of how technology helps to drive business solutions at UPS."
Once fully deployed, the printer/scanner will save over 1,300 tons of paper annually, with millions of dollars in operational savings for UPS.
The device is currently in use in 41 U.S. processing centers, with plans to expand to a total of 850 printers in 55 centers by the end of the year. The company expects to process 1.5 million packages with the new system by mid-2009. By 2010 3.1 million packages should be handled using the device.
Greening Your Gigabytes: Apple Introduces the World's Greenest Family of Notebooks
With all of the time and energy we expend using computers, it makes sense that developing energy efficient alternatives should be a high priority for technology companies. And who better to grab the reins and innovate this category than Apple, reinforcing their commitment to bringing leading edge solutions to the forefront, and elevating the green 'cool factor' in the process.
Although Steve Jobs' keynote on this topic did not impress environmentalists at the Macworld Expo last year, with Greenpeace contendors stating that that the company still had a long way to go to set any kind of environmental standard for the rest of the tech industry, this latest evolution of their Macbook series may change their minds. And while Apple is not the only computer company focusing on eco-issues, it is clear that their stance in the most recent ad introducing the 'greenest family of notebooks' that Jobs is vying for a leadership position in environmentally sound manufacturing.
Dark Economic Cloud Throws Shadow Over Upcoming COP14 Climate Talks
The COP14 climate talks next week are taking place amid circumstances that are drastically changed compared to the last round of negotiations; the world's economy is in severe turmoil. That means one thing – global leaders' resolve to combat climate change will be put to the test.
The talks, which will take place December 1-12 in Poznan, Poland, could be the scene of intensified difficulties and any climate action may be seen as a trade off against economic growth. The experts at the United Nations are prepared for it. In a recent interview with Reuters news agency, they said their calculations show that the maximum sacrifice rich nations will be making to avert the worst effects of global warming is less than 0.12 percent of global gross domestic product (GDP) annually until 2030.

Around the world with 8 hot lesbian comics
Jen Brister
photo by Lucy Pope
Getting a straight answer out of Jen provides it's own set of challenges and yes that pun was very much intended. When asked about the comedy climate for queer women in the UK, Jen said, "I think it's about 27 degrees and fairly humid, which is about average for comedy at this time of year." It's that kind of sarcasm that makes Jen one of the most genuinely hilarious women on the list. In her own words, "My persona is an exaggerated version of myself that allows me to have an extreme response to things that happen in my life or anything I don't like. Which at the moment, appears to be most things."
Since getting her start in comedy, she's taken a number of shows, including Me My Mum & I, Jen Brister is British(ish) and Now & Then to the Edinburgh Festival, the Adelaide and Melbourne Comedy Festivals and the Adelaide Fringe. As a festival a veteran, Jen has impeccable insights in women in comedy.
"I honestly don't think women are under represented, particularly anyone that wants to work live," she said. "The fact is that fewer women do stand up comedy so therefore fewer of us break through. As for queer women, I think proportionately there are quite a few of us making a name for ourselves. There is always a lot of emphasis on what women 'aren't doing' rather than celebrating what we have achieved. I could reel off a dozen names of successful, funny stand up comedians who are all women. As a stand up comedian it doesn't matter if you're black, queer, trans, disabled or a woman as long as you're funny. If you can make people laugh any prejudices that that person may have will disappear the moment an unexpected guffaw leaves their mouth."
What's next for Jen? "I'm working on a hit sitcom for HBO right now—haha! I wish." She just finished performing her new show, Wishful Thinking, at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. She'll be taking it to the Edinburgh Festival in August.
Susan Calman
Wanting to be a comedian at a young age, Susan didn't think having such a career was possible. "I suspect if I'd told my parents I was going to be a comedian they would have fainted," she said, "so I left school and went to University to study law. It was only in my mid 30s that I decided to resign from my job and give comedy a go." She has since reached the semi-finals of the BBC New Comedy Awards and won numerous awards, including Best New Scottish Comedian at the Real Radio Scottish Variety Awards, but she counts her greatest achievements as what she's been afforded to create.
"I was given my first Radio 4 series called Susan Calman is Convicted. Nothing I have done before or since has been so enjoyable. I was given complete freedom by the station to write about anything I wanted to. The first series included my experiences of working on Death Row and the fact that I have depression." The second installment started on April 2.
Susan is one of the brightest comedy voices to come out of Scotland. "In general there are more women in comedy these days," she said. "The main attitude that needs to change amongst producers and bookers is that one woman represents all women. There is a movement to ensure that there is at least one woman on a panel show in the UK. Personally I dislike the requirement for quota systems in general, and specifically in relation to comedy. I'd like to be booked for a show because I'm good at what I do rather than because they need someone to fill a seat. "
Susan will be at the Edinburgh Fringe, will present Don't Drop The Baton, a BBC comedy broadcast during the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in July and August, and STV quiz show The Lie. Her stand-up tour, Lady Like, will tour the UK and Ireland in Autumn 2014.

Nail Technician Job Duties and Employment Options
The nail treatment business is a steadily growing sector of the cosmetology industry. Nail technicians may work for salons or spas and perform various duties, from simple nail trimming and buffing to applications of artificial nail systems.
Nail Technician Job Duties
A nail technician, also known as a manicurist or pedicurist, helps clients to improve their appearance. Their main duties include giving manicures and pedicures. Some nail technicians may also provide expanded services such as the application and removal of various types of artificial nail systems, including acrylic nails, porcelain nails, silk nails, fiberglass nails and nail art.
Educational Requirements for Nail Technicians
Aspiring nail technicians must complete a training program consisting of coursework and completion of a designated number of hours. Students learn nail technology, business and salon management, regulatory and tax laws, infection control and sanitation, diseases of the nails and skin, basic manicuring and artificial nail techniques. They also obtain on-the-job training by working in industry settings and performing nail procedures on live clients. In addition, they may take courses that help prepare them for state licensure exams.
All states have licensing laws for nail technicians and require prospective nail technicians to complete a certain number of hours of schooling and training. Although some specialty care workers may complete associate's degree programs, nail technicians may only be required to complete diploma or certificate programs to become licensed within a state.
Licensing ensures that nail technicians have the skills to work in the field and are aware of state laws and sanitation regulations. To obtain licensure, candidates must pass a written test and, possibly, a practical skills exam.
Employment Options for Nail Technicians
Licensed nail technicians may find work in nail salons, beauty salons, personal care establishments and hotels. Many of these workers are also self-employed. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were 81,700 manicurists and pedicurists employed in the United States as of 2010 (www.bls.gov).
The BLS projected that employment growth for the 2012-2022 decade would be 16% for manicurists and pedicurists, which is about as fast as the average for all jobs. The BLS also noted that nail technicians with previous experience and a license to provide a range of services would enjoy the best opportunities, but that competition would be strong for high-paying positions.
Salary Information
As of May 2012, the BLS reported that the median annual wage for manicures and pedicurists was $19,220, or $9.24 per hour. The lowest 10% earned $8.00 per hour or less, whereas the highest 10% of nail technicians earned $14.21 hourly or more. Although most nail technicians are employed full-time, many work part-time, so these earnings may be supplemented by other wages.

I understand trying to get a steal for a dupe of a high end brush. But this brush was horrible. It is soft and can be used to apply setting powder or foundation. And I like that it only costs $3 at Target.
But the brush sheds like crazy both during use and after washing. The wooden handle is very unstable. I was already on my way to crazy gluing the handle back with minimal use after 3 months.
Overall, I do not recommend this product. It comes out more expensive in the end. The brush is nearly a disposable. It needs replacement every 6 months, even with minimal use.
This is a really great brush for foundation and powder etc. the bristles are soft and it moderately dense. It's great to apply light powder to control my shine.
LOVELOVELOVE THIS BRUSH. I have three right now. But I use it mostly for my foundation as a flat-top brush rather than a power brush. It definitely disperses my foundation around my face evenly no matter how I use the brush. (stippling or circle motions) It's quite a soft brush as well and it's pretty to look at. As for powder use, definitely works as well! I use it for my finishing powder, but I definitely prefer it as a foundation brush.

I love this brush. I saw a review for it on YouTube and decided to try it out for myself. For the price, it is great! It is very soft, and the bristles do not poke your face like other low-cost brushes sometimes do. I would totally buy this again. It is easy to hold and not too heavy, and it blends liquid foundation perfectly. Some people claim that the brush quality is better than a Sigma brush. My only complaint is that after a while the handle became loose and it felt like it was going to fall off from the brush part. I taped it and now it is fine, and because of the price I don't mind. Plus, if it broke I would just go get a new one because it was only $3! Try out this product. You won't be disappointed.
This is my go to brush for foundation!!!! I have never found anything that gives me the flawless foundation application that this brush does. Seriously, I've tried other foundation brushes, my beauty blender, sponges, hands..... Nothing works like this $3 gem!!!! It also works well for applying mineral foundation, or lightly dusting setting powder. Great brush, and it's easy on the wallet!!!

I own two of these brushes. I'm not even sure why I purchased two, but I did. Maybe it was because I loved the first one so much that owning a second just seemed like the right thing to do!
LOVE. I use this to buff in BB creams and foundations and it leaves such a gorgeous, airbrushed finish. I don't use it much for powders - I prefer a kabuki brush for that, but for liquids and creams, this brush is fantastic.
It's also great for applying cream blushes and highlighters.
The hairs are a super-soft synthetic material, which is why they stand up so well to use with liquid products.
And the price. WHOA NELLY! I paid $3 for this baby. THREE BUCKS, MAN!
I may gift some ELF brushes to friends this year for b-days and holidays because they really are life-changing. I was using horrible application practices prior to getting the lot of ELF brushes and they are all so multi-use and soft and lovely.
Way to go, ELF!

My favorite brush out of all the brushes i own! Its flat top allows me to tap on my powder foundation and buff it into my skin to give it a natural finish and I use this brush along side my powder everyday for when I wear makeup. Love this for applying my blush as well and buffing it to make my blush look more natural and blended. :) Also, it's pretty soft and smooth and doesnt scratch my skin! For the price, you honestly cannot go wrong with this brush. Every time I run into elf brushes, this is always the first one I look out for!
I seriously don't understand the hype about this brush. Yes, it's soft, average quality and sleek, but i just never find myself reaching for this. I don't like it for foundation, since it leaves my skin really streaky, and I don't like this for powder because i find that its hard to get an even coverage with this since it doesn't glide over the skin in a comfortable way.
If you want an amazing inexpensive brush for you face powder - go for the Elf studio complexion brush instead, which applies powder a lot more evenly an glides like a dream over you skin.

I am very disappointed with the brush. The handle fell off pretty fast and I didnt get it wet. I don't know if I got a bad one but this has happened to another studio brush I brought from elf too. I didn't like it for foundation much actually and it was ok for powder,but I wouldn't buy it again because of the handle issue.
this is hands down the best brush for applying liquid foundation... i will NEVER be without it! i used to use ecotools rectractable foundation brush or sonia kashuk pointed foundation brush..and i didnt realize how much of my foundation was being absorbed by the bristles. i was going through foundation so fast, and also it took me a long time to apply my foundation with those brushes. with the elf brush, the foundation actually goes on my face instead of getting stuck on the brush. therefore i save product and time..also the brush is easier to clean. this is the only brush i will use from now on!

THE JOURNEY Lyrics - Lea Salonga
Half the world is sleeping
half the world's awake
half can hear their heart beat
half just hear them break
I am but a traveler
been most every where
ask me what you want to know
What a journey it has been
and the end is not in sight
but the stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way
when they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in
what a journey it has been.
I have been to sorrow
I have been to bliss
where I'll be tommorow
I can only guess
Through the darkest desert
through the deepest snow
forward always forward
I go....
(repeat chorus)
forward always forward
onward always up
catching every drop of hope
in my empty cup
(repeat chorus)
What a journey it has been..

Time Out says
Posted: Thu Nov 21 2013
After being cut from Columbia Records after the underrated and unfairly trounced Euphoric Heartbreak , Glasvegas ditched L.A. studios and big-name producers and retreated to the comforts of home in Scotland. Now, singer James Allen is back in black, launching his soaring, aching brogue over caterwauls of guitar and simple, heart-pounding drum beats on third album Later...When the TV Turns to Static. The band may be struggling for relevence in the cruel churn of the music press, but the underdog role suits it well. Allen approaches pop like a bare-knuckle boxer. "Youngblood" and "I'd Rather Be Dead (Than Be With You)" still display his knack for sending tingles up the nape of your neck, and they're more Scottish than the JAMChain covering the Proclaimers in golf cleats.

Altruistic Donor Triggers 3-Way Transplant
On May 15, in what's believed to be the first "domino" triple-exchange kidney transplant, surgeons at the Comprehensive Transplant Center removed one of Mendez's kidneys and placed it into the abdomen of Scott Keller, a 30-year-old computer draftsman from Kalamazoo who had waited 15 years for a kidney. At the same time, Keller's wife, Lisa, donated one of her kidneys to 64-year-old Robert O'Hara of Vestal, N.Y. And O'Hara's daughter, Kelley, of Falls Church, Va., donated a kidney to Ashley Day, a police detective from Altoona, Pa.
Before the surgeries, transplant specialists had searched their database of patients awaiting kidneys to find the best possible matches. The complicated three-way operation, requiring a team of 50 CTC physicians and other caregivers, was the third performed at Hopkins—and the third in the United States. It was the first such transplant to use a donor with no prior personal connection to any of the recipients. All six donors and recipients recovered quickly, according to CTC Director Bob Montgomery. Mendez's donation, he said, "was an almost unimaginable act of kindness."

See also:patriarch of Western monks . Our only authority for the facts of St Benedict's
See also:life is bk. ii of St
See also:Gregory's Dialogues . St Gregory declares that he obtained his information from four of St Benedict's disciples, whom he names; and there can be no serious reason for doubting that it is possible to reconstruct the outlines of St Benedict's career (see
See also:Hodgkin,
See also:Italy and her Invaders, 412) . A precise chronology and a
See also:pedigree have been supplied for Benedict, according to which he was
See also:born in 480, of the
See also:great
See also:family of the Anicii; but all we know is what St Gregory tells us, that he was born of
See also:good family in Nursia, near
See also:Spoleto in
See also:Umbria . His
See also:birth must have occurred within a few years of the date assigned; the only fixed
See also:chronological point is a visit of the
See also:Gothic
See also:king
See also:Totila to him in 543, when Benedict was already established at
See also:Monte Cassino and advanced in years (
See also:Dial. ii . 14, 15) . He was sent by his parents to frequent the
See also:Roman
See also:schools, but shocked by the prevailing licentiousness he fled away . It has been usual to represent him as a
See also:mere boy at this
See also:time, but of
See also:late years various considerations have been pointed out which make it more likely that he was a
See also:young,
See also:man . He went to the mountainous districts of the Abruzzi, and at last came to the ruins of
See also:Nero's palace and the artificial lake at
See also:Subiaco, 40 M. from
See also:Rome . Among the rocks on the
See also:side of the valley opposite the palace he found a cave in which he took up his abode, unknown to all except one friend,
See also:Romanus, a
See also:monk of a neighbouring monastery, who clothed him in the monastic
See also:habit and secretly supplied him with
See also:food . No one who has seen the spot will doubt that the Sacro Speco is indeed the cave wherein Benedict spent the three years of opening manhood in solitary prayer, contemplation and austerity . After this
See also:period of formation his fame began to spread abroad, and the monks of a neighbouring monastery induced him to become their
See also:abbot; but their lives were irregular and dissolute, and on his trying to put down abuses they attempted to
See also:poison him .
He returned to his cave, but disciples flocked to him, and in time he formed twelve monasteries in the neighbourhood, placing twelve monks in each, and himself retaining ageneral
See also:control over all . In time
See also:patricians and senators from Rome entrusted their young sons to his care, to be brought up as monks; in this manner came to him his two best-known disciples, Maurus and Placidus . Driven from Subiaco by the
See also:jealousy and molestations of a neighbouring
See also:priest, but leaving behind him communities in his twelve monasteries, he himself, accompanied by a small
See also:band of disciples, journeyed
See also:south until he came to Cassino, a
See also:town halfway between Rome and Naples . Climbing the high
See also:mountain that overhangs the town, he established on the
See also:summit the monastery with which his name has ever since been associated, and which for centuries was a chief centre of religious life for western
See also:Europe . He destroyed the remnants of paganism that lingered on here, and by his preaching gained the rustic population to
See also:Christianity . Few other facts of his career are known: there is record of his founding a monastery at Terracina; his
See also:death must have occurred soon after Totila's visit in 543 .
See also:Rule of St Benedict.—In
See also:order to understand St Benedict's character and spirit, and to discover the secret of the success of his institute, it is necessary, as St Gregory says, to turn to his Rule . St Gregory's characterization of the Rule as " conspicuous for its discretion" touches the most essential quality . The relation of St Benedict's Rule to earlier monastic rules, and of his institute to the prevailing monachism of his
See also:day, is explained in the article MONASTICISM . Here it is enough to say that nowadays it is commonly recognized by students that the manner of life instituted by St Benedict was not intended to be, and as a
See also:matter of fact was not, one of any.great austerity, when judged by the
See also:standard of his own day (see E . C .
See also:Butler, Lausiac
See also:History of Palladius,
See also:part i. pp .
251-256) . His monks were allowed proper clothes, sufficient food, amplesleep . The only bodily austerities were the abstinence from flesh
See also:meat and the unbroken fast till
See also:mid-day or even 3 P.M., but neither would appear so onerous in Italy even now, as to us in
See also:northern climes . Midnight
See also:office wa's' no part of St Benedict's Rule: the time for rising for the
See also:night office varied from 1.30 to 3.0, according to the
See also:season, and the monks had had unbroken sleep for 72 or even 8
See also:hours, except in the hot
See also:weather, when in compensation they were allowed the traditional
See also:Italian summer siesta after the mid-day
See also:meal . The canonical office was chanted throughout, but the directly religious duties of the day can hardly have taken more than 4 or 5 hours—perhaps 8 on Sundays . The remaining hours of the day were divided between
See also:work and
See also:reading, in the proportion (on the
See also:average of the whole
See also:year) of about 6 and 4 hours respectively . The " reading " in St Benedict's time was probably confined to the
See also:Bible and the Fathers . The " work " contemplated by St Benedict was ordinarily
See also:field work, as was natural in view of the conditions of the time and best suited to the majority of the monks; but the principle laid down is that the monks should do whatever work is most useful . There were from the beginning young boys in the monastery, who were educated by the monks according to the ideas of the time . We have seen St Benedict evangelizing the
See also:pagan population
See also:round Monte Cassino; and a considerable time each day is assigned to the reading of the Fathers . Thus the germs of all the chief
See also:works carried on by his monks in later ages were to be found in his own monastery . The Rule consists of a prologue and 73 chapters .
Though it has resisted all attempts to reduce it to an ordered
See also:scheme, and probably was not written on any set
See also:plan, still it is possible roughly to indicate its contents: after the prologue and
See also:introductory
See also:chapter setting forth St Benedict's intention, follow instructions to the abbot on the manner in which he should govern his monastery (2, 3) ; next comes the ascetical portion of the Rule, on the chief monastic virtues (4-7); then the regulations for the celebration of the canonical office, which St Benedict calls " the Work of
See also:God " or " the divine work," his monks' first
See also:duty, "of which nothing is to take precedence " (8-2o); faults and punishments (23-30); the cellarer and
See also:property of the monastery(31, 32); community of goods (33, 34); various officials and daily life (21, 22, 35-57); reception of monks (58-61);
See also:miscellaneous (62-73) . The most remarkable chapters, in which St Benedict's wisdom stands out most conspicuously, are those on the abbot (2, 3, 27,64) . The abbot is to govern the monastery with full and unquestioned patriarchal authority; on important matters he must consult the whole community and hear what each one, even the youngest, thinks; on matters of less
See also:weight he should consult a few of the elder monks; but in either
See also:case the decision rests entirely with him, and all are to acquiesce . He must, however, bear in mind that he will have to render an account of all his decisions and to answer for the souls of all his monks before the
See also:judgment seat of God . Moreover, he has to govern in accordance with the Rule, and must endeavour, while enforcing discipline and implanting virtues, not to sadden or " overdrive " his monks, or give them cause for " just murmuring." In these chapters pre-eminently appears that
See also:element of " discretion," as St Gregory calls it, or humanism as it would now be termed, which without doubt has been a chief cause of the success of the Rule . There is as yet no satisfactory text of-the Rule, either critical or
See also:manual; the best manual text is
See also:Schmidt's editio minor (
See also:Regensburg, 1892) . Of the many commentaries the most valuable are those of Paulus Diaconus (the earliest, c . 800), of
See also:Calmet and of Martene (
See also:Migne, Patrol .
See also:Lat. lxvi.) .

Guides for People With HIV

Someone whom I love very much was recently going through marriage counseling, and he told me that the counselor always recommends that both people first read the book Fighting for Your Marriage. This intrigued me, so I got the book and found it really interesting and fun to read.
I decided to read this book because I've always been interested in the Dalai Lama. I really thought The Art of Happiness would be more focused on understanding Buddhist principles; instead, it's a peculiar mix of Eastern religion meets Western medicine.
Co-author Dr. Howard Cutler is a psychiatrist with a private practice in Phoenix, and the Dalai Lama is a Buddhist monk. It's amusing to see two very different approaches to achieving happiness. The Dalai Lama's approach to achieving happiness is more of a holistic, spiritual system that focuses on improving oneself using the power of the mind. Dr. Howard Cutler takes more of a back-seat approach in which he listens to the Dalai Lama's suggestions and gives input about modern psychological approaches used in the United States.
"You are not an accident. Even before the universe was created, God had you in mind, and he planned you for his purposes. These purposes will extend far beyond the few years you will spend on earth. You were made to last forever! Self-help books often suggest that you try to discover the meaning and purpose of your life by looking within yourself, but Rick Warren says that is the wrong place to start. You must begin with God, your Creator, and his reasons for creating you. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense."
Also available on audio and in large print.
"In the frenzied pace of today's world, most people take care of everything and everyone else first, leaving self-nourishment for last. These 52 inventive, easy-to-follow recipes for relaxation include pampering ideas, mental vacations, sexy time-outs, mood boosters, and ways to create private time at home."
"...the book is divided into three sections. Your Personal Best focuses on emotional and physical well-being from Oprah's own weight-loss secrets to ways to gain confidence, serenity, and balance. Relationships has the tools and insights everyone needs to form warmer, more satisfying connections with those near, dear, and even not-so-dear to us. And, in true Oprah style, Living in the World helps the reader think about how to make her life more meaningful and useful."

NEW ORLEANS, La. - Junior pitcher Carson Baranik was named the Sun Belt Conference Pitcher of the Week after his performance against Eastern Illinois in the Ragin' Cajuns baseball series win against the Panthers, the conference office announced on Monday.
"This is a great individual honor that the conference gives out," head coach Tony Robichaux said. "Carson put in a lot of hard work and effort to get to this point. I think it's well deserved. He went out and threw a great game for us, especially with out a lot of run production.
"He really backed our hitters up. That really epitomizes what we are looking for out of our pitching staff when we take the field. We don't care about runs. We are looking to give our team a chance to win, and I thought he did a great job of that. He's part of a very good pitching staff that we have this year."
Baranik was lights out in his debut for the Ragin' Cajuns holding EIU scoreless in 7.1 innings while limiting the Panthers to just one hit. The Bossier City, La. native also struck out eight hitters in the outing earning his first win in a 1-0 contest.
Louisiana has had at least one pitcher earn the weekly award in each of the last seven years, while Baranik is the 24th player to don the Vermillion and White to earn the honor.
The Cajuns return to action on Wednesday at 6 p.m. when they face Northwestern State on the road at Brown-Stroud Field in Natchitoches, La. before heading to Southern Miss this weekend for a three-game series.
For more information and a behind the scenes look at Louisiana baseball, follow the team on twitter @CajunsBaseball.

Umm, nobody is "lumping them in" with serial killers or other "monsters". I posed the question if people are born to kill, or basically born evil?
If we're to believe that homosexuality is a genetic trait people are born with despite the fact there is no concrete evidence that says "yes, they are" or "no, they're not", then how does anyone actually know if a person isn't also "born to kill"? It is a legitimate question....because if there is actual research that proves people are born to do things that society considers "abnormal" then perhaps it can be pursued further to see if there is a "murder gene" as well.
Look at a guy like Jeffrey Dahmer....a kid who had always been fascinated with death...he use to find road kill and strip off the skin and check out the organs and bones, etc.......he said he always wondered what it would be like to kill someone...and finally his brain convinced him that just fantasizing about it wasn't good enough.

Edel 2015: Let's do this!
As I have traveled all over the country this year for my book tour, one of the most frequent questions I've gotten is: "What is up with that Edel Gathering thing?" People who heard about the event from friends of friends wanted to understand what was so different about this gathering, and I always struggled to explain it. Describing it as a "party" showed how fun it was, but it didn't capture the palpable sense of camaraderie. Calling it a "conference" made it clear that we had quality speakers and... Read More
7 Quick Takes about co-hosting with Lino Rulli, cool book covers, and the best Halloween moments
— 1 — Well, that was ridiculously fun. Lino Rulli came to Austin and I co-hosted his show with him all week. He tried homeschooling my kids; we talked to Abby Johnson about her crazy life as the activist mother of four kids (three of them under age three); we had a visit from the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist; and we had girl talk with Heather Gardner and Leticia Adams, complete with a bottle of wine. Like I said: ridiculously fun. (The whole week of shows are available on demand if you're a SiriusXM subscriber.... Read More

I asked people to give me suggestions for Halloween costumes that use no more than $10 in supplies (outside of normal household stuff) and take no more than 10 minutes to put together. I got a bunch of fabulous suggestions, which you can see here. Who knew being on Facebook could be this fun? — 2 — We had our pastor, Fr. Dean Wilhelm, over for dinner on Tuesday.

The Shoe Song: A gift to every parent who's having a tough day
YOU GUYS!!!!! I have been waiting not-so-patiently to share something with you: Last week, musician Marie Miller was a guest on my radio show on SiriusXM. I've been a fan of hers for a while, so I was thrilled that she came down to Austin just to do the show with me. I wanted to do something special to commemorate the occasion, so I gave Marie a challenge: I asked her to write a song using nothing but texts between my husband and me as the lyrics. When I heard the song right before last Thursday's show, I actually jumped up and down... Read More
7 Quick Takes about podcasts, getting back into a routine, and asking your radio guests to fold your laundry

Since April, I've released a book, done four out-of-state book/media tours, celebrated six family birthdays, co-hosted the Edel Gathering, took three young children to North Carolina for ten days, started the homeschool year, and started a radio show. Last week marked the end of the Six Months O' Craziness — I don't have any major upcoming commitments that would significantly impact our weekly routine, and I'm getting used to doing the radio show.

7 Quick Takes about driving in DC, meeting fabulous people, and outing myself as an airplane stalker nerd
— 1 — I'm back from the DC trip! I gave five talks, did two media appearances, four book signings, and hosted my radio show live from SiriusXM's Washington studio, so it was quite the adventure. Honestly, it wasn't as stressful as it sounds. I got to meet so many new people, connect with friends whom I'd never met in person, and even enjoy a few moments in quiet hotel rooms! It's good to be home, but I'm already looking forward to to get back to the that area one of these days, hopefully bringing... Read More
One quick take from my hotel next door to the White House
I was determined to be able to write my 7 Quick Takes Friday post this week, but — to nobody's surprise except for mine — I have been extremely busy here on the DC book tour. If it tells you anything about how crazy my schedule has been, my hotel is practically next door to the White House, and I haven't done anything more than give it a passing glance as I run from one place to the next. It's been great, though! I have met some absolutely wonderful people and am having a blast. I'll tell you all about it next... Read More

'AC360′ After Dark? CNN Plans 10 PM George Zimmerman Trial Specials
CNN is planning specials every night at 10 PM this week, focusing on the George Zimmerman murder trial.
The specials– titled "Self-Defense or Murder? The George Zimmerman Trial"– will be hosted by Anderson Cooper. Every night, Cooper will be "joined by Mark Geragos, Marsha Clark, and Jeffrey Toobin will condense that day's opening statements, testimony, and analysis," CNN says.
There will also be special guests. Tonight they include the Martin family attorney, and a linguistic expert whose testimony was thrown out over the weekend. The format sounds similar to the "AC360″ round-table editions that CNN experimented with at 10 PM earlier this year.
CNN president Jeff Zucker said network executives were "very pleased" with how those programs turned out.
It also bears a striking resemblance to "HLN After Dark," which joined that channel's lineup during the Jodi Arias trial, and will be getting a permanent spot on the channel's primetime roster.

Trekking through Nepal
Susie Rivard is a mountain person. It's mountains that led her to the Olympic Peninsula and it's mountains that led her, in 2002, to take a trip to Nepal, home of the Himalayas. Nepal, according to Rivard, is very geologically unique with tropical areas below sea level, arid zones at 10,000 feet elevation and peaks up to 19,000 feet.
"You're constantly going up and down, up and down," Rivard said.
Since her �rst trip, Rivard has returned a number of times to the small country nestled between India and Tibet.
"I just fell into love with the people," Rivard said.
In 2004, traveling with her husband through the village of Braka, Rivard met a little girl named Anita. Not only was it an unusual name for a girl in Nepal, but it is the name of Rivard's daughter. The Nepalese Anita could not read or write and after the couple returned a number of times to the village (for yak yogurt), Rivard decided to sponsor the girl's education.
It took about 18 months to �nd Anita a boarding school and by that time Rivard had lost track of the family because they move to Nepal's capital city Kathmandu each winter. With a population of about 700,000, �nding anyone in Kathmandu is a daunting, if not impossible task, but through the efforts of a friend, the girl was located and admitted to a boarding school. Anita's two older sisters already were being sponsored to attend school by a couple in Germany.
Rivard said she decided to sponsor Anita because there is so little opportunity in Nepal for girls to be educated.
"If anyone goes to school, it's the boys," Rivard said.
Anita, who is now 10 years old, and her family have since moved to Kathmandu year-round. They live in an apartment - two 10-foot by 10-foot rooms. The kitchen is a two-burner camping stove and the shared bathroom is down the hallway. For $2 a month, the family's one luxury is cable television. "I just wanted to cry when I saw that," Rivard said. "It was shocking how little they had."
According to Rivard, Anita's living conditions re�ect not only the poverty that exists throughout Nepal but an ancient and prevailing caste system. Anita and her family are what Nepal society calls "untouchables," the lowest tier of the social order.
"They say there's no caste system but they might as well have it stamped on their foreheads," Rivard said.
In October 2007, Rivard, a registered nurse with the Jamestown Family Clinic in Sequim, returned to Nepal, this time as part of Karing for Kids, a moving medical camp put together by the nonpro�t organization The Mountain Fund. The 82-person team, which included porters, kitchen staff and three Sherpas, trekked along Nepal's Tamang Heritage Trail visiting seven villages and providing free health care to the inhabitants. The team took two buses along the trail on a road that was nothing more than dirt and rock etched out of a mountain. To reach the �rst village, it took the team 16 hours to complete only 60 miles. At one point the porters had to pull the buses through a section of road that a mud slide had obliterated.
"It was the bus ride from hell," Rivard said.
Rivard primarily took care of wounds and burns. Many of the villagers had burns from several months earlier that had festered, becoming infected. Rivard said that this was due to poor hygiene.
"It would never get that bad in the States," Rivard said, adding that in one village that had access to hot spring water, infection was almost nonexistent among the village children.
This summer Rivard plans to trek through Peru providing medical care and in October she will return to Nepal.

text: Morsi: References to Jews as 'Pigs' Taken Out of Context Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 19 Jan 2013 post a comment Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi is trying to convince Washington that he didn't mean what he said when he described Jews as "pigs" and "bloodsuckers." U.S. Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have expressed specific concern over the comments, even asking Morsi to clarify or explain them. In response, Morsi claims the statements were simply part of a broader denunciation of Israeli policy. He said they've been taken out of context by critics. This is the same explanation he gave for saying Jews were "the descendants of apes" and for calling on Egyptian mothers to instill a hatred of Jews into their children. Although citing "strong disapproval" for these comments, McCain continues to press for $480 million in aid for Cairo.

Fairfield police arrested a man they say is a member of a street gang this week and they are crediting an anonymous tipster with helping to get him off their streets.
According to police, the tipster called police around 2:25 p.m. Thursday to say that Shawn Morita, 20, had just left a home in the 1000 block of Missouri Street with a loaded handgun.
Police described Morita as a "known Norteno gang member" and based on the information from the call, the Fairfield Police Gang and Drug Suppression Unit and the Violent Crime Suppression Unit began a search of the area.
Responding officers located Morita walking in the area of Missouri and Madison streets and detained him. Police said they found a .38-caliber revolver in his back pants pocket.
Morita was booked into Solano County Jail on a felony probation violation and felony possession of a firearm with a gang enhancement.
