Por estes dias podemos afirmar que um dos famosos cinco bairros de Nova Iorque - Brooklyn, é a capital do chamado indie rock, de tal forma é elevado o número de bandas oriundas de lá que editam discos e conseguem obter exposição e sucesso. Nalguns casos muito justamente, noutros um pouco por arrastamento. Diria que estes Ra Ra Riot ficam a meio caminho. Depois de um prometedor EP homónimo,
"But now the great dying has begun, and I'm not talking about German billionaires throwing themselves in front of trains or French aristocrats slitting their wrists, as alarming as these incidents have been. No, earnings season -- the time for companies to 'fess up just how bad it's been for them in the last three months -- is here. "

When it comes to the dream girl, Hema Malini, her popularity as an actress and danseuse holds no bar as far as age and communities are concerned.

And if you want a hint of how well the book is doing, then her

Care 'failing the terminally ill' Eye catching headline isn’t it?But it doesn’t even begin to explain the subject.Dying is the final act in a life; it is the most frightening thing to happen to the person and their loved ones that they will ever face.

Why do Americans have lawns? Should they despise walking from porch or stoop to Chevy or mailboxon weed or soil?

The average American student is introduced to drugs or alcohol by the time they reach the 7th grade.

August, 2001 - "Ghawar is dying." Could those three simple words signal the beginning of the end for the industrialized human civilization on Planet Earth? No one in a position of knowledge or authority has uttered them publicly yet, nor are they likely to for a few years to come. So we do have some time--but not much. Then again, they may have been said quietly two years ago and we would never kn

Dreams have always intrigued me. As a teenager I used to set my alarm fifteen minutes earlier than necessary, so I could try and remember what I had dreamt that night. After the first two weeks I could usually remember three to seven dreams. At some point I stopped doing this -- I don’t know why.

When I was four years old or even younger, I often had this very short, recurring dream

It took a long time
For mother to die.
Everyone believed
She would go first,
With dad,
The last dirty-old-man,
Playing the field
Since he loved women.
Mother wore out the pages in her
Medical encyclopedia
To speed things up
On the highway
Of exotic diseases.
Before turning forty,
She had a hysterectomy
When cancer cells multiplied.
That didn’t help
Her state of mind.
Soon after that first surger

The above verse really speaks to my heart.

Keeping vigil over a dying loved one is one of the most difficult things you will ever have to do in life. However, it is a rite of passage for both you and your loved one. If possible, communicate together what your loved one's wishes are regarding their last days. Give them as much control over the remainder of their lives as possible.Chronic illness means that you have likely talked w

Here's an interesting article on the death of Buddhism in Japan. Until recently the Japanese have been connected to Buddhism mainly through funerals but even that tie is breaking:
But the move to funeral homes has sharply accelerated in the last decade. In 1999, 62 percent still held funerals at home or in temples, while 30 percent chose funeral homes, according to the Consumers' Association.
