We've all been there ... sound asleep, only to wake up suddenly, terrified we've overslept and will be late for work or school. And in those first few groggy seconds, you'll really appreciate the TALK button on this nifty clock.

Melchior:
Where I go, when I go there,
No more memory anymore-
Only men on distant ships,
The women with them, swimming with them, to shore...
Moritz:
Where I go, when I go there,
No more whispering anymore-
Only hymns upon your lips;
A mystic wisdom, rising with them, to shore...
Ernst:
Touch me-just like that.

If you plan on visiting a new city in the near future, but don't feel like expensing out on another travel guide (and you just so happen to have an iPhone or iPod Touch), check out Schmap — a handy interactive site that provides maps and full-color guides for over 200 destinations throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Just visit Schmap on your iPhone or iPod Touch for virtual tours, and guides on everything from hotels to activities and dining.

Mariah Carey’s eleventh album, E=MC2, which strikes me as way too complicated a scientific concept to be appropriated for a title for one of her albums, will be released on my least favorite day of the year, April 15. The first single, “Touch My Body,” has been given to record stations with a clip of the upcoming video online. She seems to be working the same tired windblown half-dressed angle that’s characterized her act for at least the last 10 years.

While not mentioning his cancer diagnosed earlier this week, a contemplative yet outdoorsy looking Sen. Edward Kennedy said Thursday it was "good to be home" at his family's place in Hyannis Port, calling Cape Cod "the best place on earth."
In a video aired in Boston and then shown nationwide on CNN, Kennedy also acknowledged the "incredible amounts of wonderful notes and letters from friends and colleagues in the Senate, as well as from people here in outpouring of support," which he called "very uplifting and touching."

At a glance the latest MacBook Pro upgrade isn't huge or that impressive. What it did bring to the plate was the fancy MacBook Air style touch pad. I for one was extremely hopeful that they would be bringing this sexy little feature to the MacBook Pro line up.

I got this product from QVC to remove the 'peach fuzz' of my face.
I used it following directions and after testing it on one side of my face, it immediately appeared with red bumps, irritation and all around inflammation, and I don't have sensitive skin!
Three days later my skin was still sore, itchy and irritated.

I have not been feeling well, which is obligatory of what I am going through, and I know there are people who are happy about this. So, I have turned from Sugar to reading a LOT! But, when I do have something of interest for you I will post it for you as I care deeply about so many of you. I am not looking for sympathy or empathy of any nature. Far from it. Taking a break from Sugar has been situational. Therefore READING has been a serenity of sorts. Absorbing information which I wish I would have attained months ago.
A book advised for reading:
"The Moral Sense" by James Q. Wilson
Mark Twain once advised, "Always do right. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest." (you know how I love my quotes). The thought of astonishing people is certainly appealing, yet somehow we have to know what's right before we can do it. How do we know what's right? It's not easy, despite the fact that there's a vast field of study devoted to the topic which is described using terms like "Ethics," or "Moral Philosophy." However, countless philosophers writing shelves full of books over have hardly improved on the age-old cliche', "treat others as you want to be treated." Albert Schweitzer rephrased it this way: "A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives."
But why should we even be interested in opening the question? Why not just leave the discussion of ethics to theologians?
Despite the fact that religion and ethics are sometimes assumed to be interchangeable ideas, a standard of morality is important whether one believes in a higher power or not. It makes society work and establishes the basis by which human beings can relate to each other and to their environment safely and responsibly. If our ethical lines shift according to whim, others won't be able to anticipate our responses or predict our stance on any issue. We all have a strong desire to know where we "stand" in relation to others. Do they care about us? Do we care about them? How do we know whether our relationships can be relied upon?
