Stars - Dead Hearts (with lyrics in description)

Tell me everything that happened,
Tell me everything you saw.
They had lights inside their eyes...
They had lights inside their eyes...
Did you see the closing window,
Did you hear the slamming door?
They moved forward and my heart died...
They moved forward and my heart died...
Please, please tell me what they looked like,
Did they seem afraid of you?
They were kids that I once knew...
They were kids that I once knew...

I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
It's hard to know they're out there,
It's hard to know that you still care.
I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
Dead hearts are everywhere!
Dead hearts are everywhere!

Did you touch them, did you hold them?
Did they follow you to town?
They make me feel I'm falling down...
They make me feel I'm falling down...
Was there one you saw too clearly,
Did they seem too real to you?
They were kids that I once knew...
They were kids that I once knew...

I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
It's hard to know they're out there,
It's hard to know that you still care.
I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
Dead hearts are everywhere!
Dead hearts are everywhere!

I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
It's hard to know they're out there,
It's hard to know that you still care.
I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
Dead hearts are everywhere!
Dead hearts are everywhere!

They were kids that I once knew...
They were kids that I once knew...
Now they're all dead hearts to you...
Now they're all dead hearts to you...
They were kids that I once knew...
They were kids that I once knew...
Now they're all dead hearts to you...

God's not dead memorable quotes

-I don't even know what I'm doing here. I mean, it's not like you even know who I am.
You prayed and believed your whole life, never done anything wrong and here you are. You are the nicest person I know, I am the meanest. You have dementia, my life is perfect.  Explain that to me.

-Sometimes the devil allows people to live a life free o trouble cause he doesn't want them turning to God. Your sin is like a jail cell, except it's all nice and comfy and there doesn't seem to be any need to leave. The door's wide open til one day, time runs out and the cell door slams shut and suddenly... it's too late.
 Who did you say you were?



-It's like I am a convenience to him except for when my faith comes up, then he becomes verbally abusive.
-I am guessing he's bright. Brilliant. Handsome.
-Yes.
-And his attention makes you feel special, gives you a sense of completeness.
-Have you been reading my diary?
-Psychologists call it the Cinderella complex. It's not my name for it, so don't get upset with me. Guys are capable of the same thing. It's just they don't have a name for it. But in essence, you are looking for his approval to give you a sense of self-worth instead of generating it internally. 
-Don't most people do that?
-Yeah, a lot of people do, sure.
-But, using romance to shore up self-image is an unstable foundation. 
Do you believe God's capable of error, bias, or bad judgment?
-No.
-So, if He's incapable of mistakes and he made you in his likeness and image, then it follows that he cares about you, right?
-Right.
-To the point where God's only Son would willingly be crucified again for you, just you if that's what was necessary. Well, if He loves you that much, who cares what your boyfriend thinks?
To the wrong person, you'll never have any worth. But to the right person, you'll mean everything.



-I can't day. I am not ready. I am an atheist.
-I believe it's God's mercy that brought me here right now.
-I am dying. How can you call that mercy?
-Because that car could've killed you instantly. And I'm sure right now you probably wish that it did but I'm here to tell you that it's a gift cause the God you don't believe in has given you another chance, another chance to change your final answer.
-I don't want to die, but I am so scared.
-If it's any consolation, so was Jesus. He was so scared, he sweat blood. He asked the Father if it could be removed from him, but the answer was no.
-He says no a lot. 
-He gives us the answers we'd ask for if we knew what he knows.
-"For as the Heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts, says the Lord."
-Exactly. 
So, the question is-stay with me- Stay with me. Are you willing to put your faith in Jesus Christ? Are you willing to take that chance?
-Yes.
-God is willing to forgive you of your sins, all of them if you accept his Son and ask him into your life. That's all you have to do is just accept his Son. Accept his love and receive his forgiveness right now. Do you accept him as Lord and Savior?
-Yes, I accept.
-It's alright. In a few minutes you are gonna know more about God than I do or anybody else here does. It's okay. It's okay.

The Irrepressibles - In This Shirt (lyrics)

I am lost in a rainbow
Now our rainbow is gone
Overcast by your shadow
As our worlds move on

In this shirt I can be you
To be near you for a while
In this shirt I can be you
To be near you for a while

There's a crane knocking down
All these things that we were
I awake in the night to
Hear the engines pout

There's a pain it does ripple
Through my frame makes me lame
There's a thorn in my side
It's the shame it's the prize

Of you and me ever changing
Moving on now moving fast
And this touch must be wanting
Must become free to act

But I mean Jake to tell you
That I love you and never rash
And I bled everyday now
For a year for a year

I did send you a note
On the wind for to read
Our names there together
Must've fallen like the sea

To depths of the soil
Buried deep in the ground
On the wind I can hear you
Call my name held the sound

I am lost
I am lost in a rainbow
Now our rainbow is gone
I am lost in a rainbow
Now our rainbow is gone

I am lost, I am lost
I am lost, I am lost
I am lost

Youth - Daughter

"Youth"

Shadows settle on the place, that you left.
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.
From the perfect start to the finish line.

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
The lovers that went wrong.

We are the reckless,
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there.

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.
We're setting fire to our insides for fun.
Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home,
It was a flood that wrecked this home.

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it

Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette,
I'm a lifeless face that you'll soon forget,
And my eyes are damp from the words you left,
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
But I'm forever missing him.

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it

Orthokine treatment

Orthokine is an experimental medical procedure in which a patient's own blood is extracted, manipulated, and then reintroduced to the body as an anti-inflammatory drug to reduce chronic pain and osteoarthritis.^[1][2][3] Known in the United States as Regenokine,^[4] the process removes about 2 US fluid ounces (59 ml) of blood from a patient's arm, which is then incubated at a slightly raised temperature.^[1][5][6] The liquid is then placed in a centrifuge until its constituent parts are separated. The middle yellowish layer is dense with agents that are believed to stop an arthritic agent known as interleukin-1, which causes degeneration of the joints and the breakdown of cartilage.^[1][3][7] That serum is injected into the patient's affected area.^[5] The procedure reduces pain and discomfort in the joint.^[3] The treatment generally lasts five days, with six shots of the serum into the affected area.^[6][8] It is normal for a patient to receive annual injections to ease the joint discomfort.^[3]

Orthokine is a patented method developed by molecular biologist Dr. Julio Reinecke and Dr. Peter Wehling, a spinal surgeon in Düsseldorf, Germany.^[3][7] A two-year study of osteoarthritis of the knee, published in the medical journal Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, confirmed the safety and effectiveness of the therapy.^[9] Orthokine is less invasive than most, if not all, other forms of knee surgeries available.^[10] It focuses on treating the inflammation as opposed to mechanical problems in the joints.^[8] Orthokine was first approved for widespread use in Germany in 2003.^[11] Most patients have reported positive results.^[3][9] Orthokine differs from a similar procedure with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), where platelets are targeted instead of the interleukin antagonist.^[12] Platelets are thought to speed the healing process. Also, PRP does not require the blood to be heated as Orthokine does.^[8] The heating increases the anti-inflammatory proteins as much as 100 times.^[6]

As of August 2012, about 60,000 patients worldwide have received the treatment.^[11] Americans have traveled to Germany for the treatment, which has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).^[1][7] Two offices, one in New York and another in Los Angeles, have licenses to provide a similar treatment, but they cannot advertise due to the lack of FDA approval. Dr. Freddie Fu, a professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Pittsburgh, said more high-quality independent trials proving the procedure's effectiveness are needed before the FDA approves.^[8] Wehling said the procedure has a 75% success rate and follows all regulations set by the World Anti-Doping Agency.^[13] National Basketball Association star Kobe Bryant, who traveled to Germany to have the procedure performed by Wehling, is one famous case based on his recovery from his previously poor knees.^[1][3][5] Some basketball fans refer to the procedure as the "Kobe Procedure".^[3]

The procedure cost €6,000 (about $7,400) as of July 2012.^[8] The treatment is not covered by health insurance. Chris Renna, a preventive medicine specialist who has referred American patients to Wehling since 2003, said that "because of its expense and status, the treatment is for the 1 and 2 percent of our society."^[11]

Dr. Wayne Dyer Quotes

- Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.
- Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
- You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.
- Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.
- How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.
- Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.
- Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.
- If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
- Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgment of others.
- Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world. Same world.
- You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought, 'I release the need for this in my life'.
- Self-worth comes from one thing - thinking that you are worthy.
- There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.

Yarsagumba, el oro del Himalaya

Cosechadores y mercaderes de Nepal han encontrado una potente fuente de beneficios en la "yarsagumba", un hongo que causa furor en la vecina China por sus supuestas propiedades tonificantes y su eficacia como afrodisíaco. Otras imágenes 2 Fotos La "yarsagumba" es una especie de "viagra del Himalaya", un hongo que crece en las larvas de las polillas hasta momificarlas y adquirir su forma alargada, de apenas cinco centímetros, y un color terroso y a priori poco atrayente. Su precio, sin embargo, se ha disparado gracias al empuje de la medicina tradicional china: un kilo de yarsagumba se paga en Katmandú a unos 33.000 dólares, frente a los 130 dólares que solía valer a comienzos de la década de 1990. Y eso, en un país como Nepal, con una renta per cápita de 750 dólares, supone un atractivo de negocio para decenas de aldeanos, indiferentes al hecho de que no existen pruebas científicas del supuesto valor medicinal del producto. "En Pekín creo que se está pagando a unos 74.000 dólares este año", cuenta Dipendra Bhandary, realizador del documental Viaje a Yarsa, en el que sigue las vicisitudes de una familia en busca de este raro producto. El proceso de recolección En los distritos del noreste de Nepal, miles de personas pasan los meses de junio y julio a entre 3.500 y 5.000 metros de altura para buscar este hongo, la "yarsagumba", palabra tibetana que significa "hierba de verano, gusano de invierno". Tras la apertura oficial de las montañas, en abril, comienza un delicado proceso de recolección que incluye la vida en pequeños campamentos en torno a apenas un pueblo y un mercado. El ansiado producto se forma cuando las larvas de la polilla son atacadas por el hongo, que se alimenta de ellas: durante el invierno, las larvas están ocultas bajo tierra, pero en verano, cuando se derrite la nieve, quedan parcialmente al descubierto. Los ojos de los niños son más agudos, así que para ellos es más fácil cosechar la yarsagumba"Los ojos de los niños son más agudos, así que para ellos es más fácil cosechar la yarsagumba", explica Jagat Charti, un miembro del comité rural del distrito de Rukum, el principal centro de recolección del hongo. Tras sacar la yarsagumba de la tierra, hay que lavarla y limpiarla con cuidado de impurezas, según otro miembro del comité, Chaya Bahadur Pun Magar, que precisa que la demanda depende de su claridad y longitud —la yarsa más amarilla y larga se paga mejor. "Si uno tiene suerte —continúa Magar—, en los primeros días puede encontrar unos 200 hongos diarios, y más tarde entre 60 y 70. Luego la recolección cae". En total, hacen falta 1.800 ó 2000 hongos para reunir un kilo, la unidad habitual para regatear precios en un proceso de comercialización que comienza en Rukur y que luego llega a Katmandú, donde entran en liza los comerciantes chinos. Legalizado en 2002 El Gobierno de Nepal legalizó el comercio de yarsagumba en el año 2002, pero las transacciones ya existían desde hace mucho tiempo, usado el hongo en la medicina tradicional china como reconstituyente, remedio contra enfermedades y afrodisíaco. Aunque sí que machacan el hongo para tratarse la diarrea o los moratones, los propios aldeanos de Rukum dicen no tener noticia de esos efectos generales y aseguran que para lograr efectos afrodisíacos hace falta al menos consumirlo con asiduidad. Y además, su valor de mercado es tal que les tiene más cuenta venderlo que consumirlo, según explican. "Algo debe de tener el hongo para que los chinos estén pagando tanto", asegura Lacchi Pun Magar, también del comité de Rukum, cuyos miembros están estos días en Katmandú. Con el aumento de la demanda, la nueva preocupación es la propia sostenibilidad de la producción, porque hace unos años los aldeanos lograban reunir 200 kilos y en la actualidad, apenas 60 ó 70 kilos. Había un tiempo en que los pastores bajaban con el hongo desde las montañas, y lo freían como si fuera cualquier otra plantaEl Gobierno de Nepal no tiene planes al respecto y los aldeanos de Rukum asumen que poco puede hacerse, aparte de diversificar iniciativas para encontrar medios de vida alternativos a la revolución de la yarsagumba. "Había un tiempo —recuerda Gharti Magar— en que los pastores bajaban con el hongo desde los altos de las montañas, y lo freían como si fuera cualquier otra planta".

OneRepublic - Stop And Stare

Napoleon Hill. Laws of success

I. A DEFINITE CHIEF AIM will teach you how
to save the wasted effort which the majority
of people expend in trying to find their
lifework. This lesson will show you how to
do away forever with aimlessness and fix
your heart and hand upon some definite, well
conceived purpose as a life-work.
II. SELF-CONFIDENCE will help you master
the six basic fears with which every person is
cursed-the fear of Poverty, the fear of Ill
Health, the fear of Old Age, the fear of
Criticism, the fear of Loss of Love of
Someone and the fear of Death. It will teach
you the difference between egotism and real
self-confidence which is based upon definite,
usable knowledge.
III. HABIT OF SAVING will teach you how to
distribute your income systematically so that
a definite percentage of it will steadily
accumulate, thus forming one of the greatest
known sources of personal power. No one
may succeed in life without saving money.
There is no exception to this rule, and no one
may escape it.
IV. INITIATIVE AND LEADERSHIP will show
you how to become a leader instead of a
follower in your chosen field of endeavor. It
will develop in you the instinct for
leadership which will cause you gradually to
gravitate to the top in all undertakings in
which you participate.
 - 26 - V. IMAGINATION will stimulate your mind so
that you will conceive new ideas and develop
new plans which will help you in attaining
the object of your Definite Chief Aim. This
lesson will teach you how to "build new
houses out of old stones," so to speak. It will
show you how to create new ideas out of old,
well known concepts, and how to put old
ideas to new uses. This one lesson, alone, is
the equivalent of a very practical course in
salesmanship, and it is sure to prove a
veritable gold mine of knowledge to the
person who is in earnest.
VI. ENTHUSIASM will enable you to "saturate"
all with whom you come in contact with
interest in you and in your ideas. Enthusiasm
is the foundation of a Pleasing Personality,
and you must have such a personality in
order to influence others to co-operate with
you.
VII. SELF-CONTROL is the "balance wheel" with
which you control your enthusiasm and direct
it where you wish it to carry you. This lesson
will teach you, in a most practical manner, to
become "the master of your fate, the Captain
of your Soul."
VIII. THE HABIT OF DOING MORE THAN PAID
FOR is one of the most important lessons of
the Law of Success course. It will teach you
how to take advantage of the Law of
Increasing Returns, which will eventually
insure you a return in money far out of
proportion to the service you render. No one
may become a real leader in any walk of life
 - 27 - without practicing the habit of doing more
work and better work than that for which he
is paid.
IX. PLEASING PERSONALITY is the "fulcrum"
on which you must place the "crow-bar" of
your efforts, and when so placed, with
intelligence, it will enable you to remove
mountains of obstacles. This one lesson,
alone, has made scores of Master Salesmen.
It has developed leaders over night. It will
teach you how to transform your personality
so that you may adapt yourself to any
environment, or to any other personality, in
such a manner that you may easily dominate.
X. ACCURATE THINKING is one of the
important foundation stones of all enduring
success. This lesson teaches you how to
separate "facts" from mere "information." It
teaches you how to organize known facts into
two classes: the "important" and the
"unimportant." It teaches you how to
determine what is an "important" fact. It
teaches you how to build definite working
plans, in the pursuit of any calling, out of
FACTS.
XI. CONCENTRATION teaches you how to focus
your attention upon one subject at a time
until you have worked out practical plans for
mastering that subject. It will teach you how
to ally yourself with others in such a manner
that you may have the use of their entire
knowledge to back you up in your own plans
and purposes. It will give you a practical
working knowledge of the forces around you,
and show you how to harness and use these

XII. CO-OPERATION will teach you the value of
team-work in all you do. In this lesson you
will be taught how to apply the law of the
"Master Mind" described in this Introduction
and in Lesson Two of this course. This lesson
will show you how to co-ordinate your own
efforts with those of others, in such a manner
that friction, jealousy, strife, envy and
cupidity will be eliminated. You will learn
how to make use of all that other people have
learned about the work in which you are
engaged.
XIII. PROFITING BY FAILURE will teach you
how to make stepping stones out of all of
your past and future mistakes and failures. It
will teach you the difference between
"failure" and "temporary defeat," a difference
which is very great and very important. It
will teach you how to profit by your own
failures and by the failures of other people.
XIV. TOLERANCE will teach you how to avoid
the disastrous effects of racial and religious
prejudices which mean defeat for millions of
people who permit themselves to become
entangled in foolish argument over these
subjects, thereby poisoning their own minds
and closing the door to reason and
investigation. This lesson is the twin sister of
the one on ACCURATE THOUGHT, for the
reason that no one may become an Accurate
Thinker without practicing tolerance.
Intolerance closes the book of Knowledge
and writes on the cover, "Finis! I have
 - 30 - learned it all!" Intolerance makes enemies of
those who should be friends. It destroys
opportunity and fills the mind with doubt,
mistrust and prejudice.
XV. PRACTICING THE GOLDEN RULE will
teach you how to make use of this great
universal law of human conduct in such a
manner that you may easily get harmonious
co-operation from any individual or group of
individuals. Lack of understanding of the law
upon which the Golden Rule philosophy is
based is one of the major causes of failure of
millions of people who remain in misery,
poverty and want all their lives. This lesson
has nothing whatsoever to do with religion in
any form, nor with sectarianism, nor have
any of the other lessons of this course on the
Law of Success.
