如果一個人過河船碰撞和空用他自己的小艇（小艇），儘管他是一個壞脾氣的人，他不會變得很生氣。
但如果他看到一個人在船上，他會喊他，帶領（控制，駕駛）清晰。
如果不喊一聲，他會喊一遍，再一次，並開始咒罵。
而所有因為有人在船上。
然而，如果船是空的，他不會喊，並沒有生氣。
如果你可以清空自己的船過江的世界，
沒有人會反對你，沒有人會試圖傷害你....
誰可以免費從自己的成就，從名氣，下降和失去人民群眾中的男人？
他會像流道，看不見的，他會去了解生命本身一樣沒有名字，也沒有回家。
簡單就是他，沒有區別。對所有出場，他是一個傻瓜。
他的腳步不留痕跡。他沒有權力。他實現了什麼，沒有信譽。
由於他的判斷沒有人，沒有一個法官他。
這就是完美的人：
他的船是空的。
... ...
該名男子誰擁有一些尊重他的人讓他的屍體（屍體，殘骸）淡出人們的視線，隱藏自己是完美的，因為他可以。

Articles Of Note Music Articles And Life Enrichment
Whether you admit it or not, music imbeds our daily life, weaving its beauty and emotion through our thoughts, activities and memories. So if you're interested in music theory, music appreciation, Beethoven, Mozart, or other composers, artists and performers, we hope you'll spend some time with here and learn from these music articles of note for all ages and tastes.
When I first started studying the history of music, I did not realize what I was getting into. I had thought that music history was somewhat of a trivial pursuit. In fact, I only took my history of classical music class because I needed the credits. I did not realize how completely fascinating music history is. You see, in our culture many of us do not really learn to understand music. For much of the world, music is a language, but for us it is something that we consumed passively. When I began to learn about the history of Western music, however, it changed all that for me. I have had some experience playing musical instruments, but I have never mastered one enough to really understand what music is all about. This class showed me.
When most of us think about the history of music, we think of the history of rock music. We assume that the history is simple because the music is simple. In fact, neither is the case. The history of music, whether you're talking about classical music, rock music, jazz music, or any other kind, is always complicated. New chord structures are introduced bringing with them new ways of understanding the world. New rhythmic patterns are introduced, bringing with them new ways of understanding time. And music reflects all of it.
Even when the class was over, I could not stop learning about the history of music. It had whetted my appetite, and I wanted more. I got all the music history books that I could find. I even began to research forms of music that had not interested me before in the hopes of enhancing my musical knowledge further. Although I was in school studying toward something very different – a degree in engineering – I had thought about giving it up and going back to get a degree in musicology. That is how much I am fascinated by the subject.
If you have never taken a course in the history of music, you don't know what you are missing out on. The radio will never sound the same to you again. Everything will seem much more rich, much more luminous, and much more important. A new song can reflect a new way of being, and a new way of imagining life in the world. This is what learning about the history of music means to many of us.

We're not sure any torch was passed, but two generations of pop phenoms exchanged some admiration when Lady Gaga took in Britney Spears' Femme Fatale show Saturday night in Atlantic City.
Brit-Brit got the ball rolling from the stage by telling the crowd, "I have a very special guest tonight...Lady Gaga is here." Needless to say, the crowd went crazy.
But what did Mama Monster do in return?

Gaga, sitting up front in the floor section, stood and waved and a made a heart sign with her hands--and Britney hearted her right back. Awww, so cute.
Later, during "I Wanna Go," Gaga got on her feet and did a little fist-pumping. Clearly, she was enjoying herself as she double fisted drinks during the show.
During a break in the show, Gaga accidentally stole the show when the crowd started chanting her name and rushing over to snap pics.
Although she ducked out during the encore with security in tow to avoid the rush, her night wasn't over.
She was spotted hitting the blackjack tables at the Borgata Resort later that night.
Brit took to her Twitter post performance to give Gaga some more love, writing: "So amazing to have the beautiful @LadyGaga at the show in AC tonight. Love you girl."
So nice to see two of our favorite divas getting along!
Gaga wasn't the only familar face in the crowd. Brit's boyfriend Jason Trawick was also on hand, as was her dad and conservator Jamie, who was dipping tobacco during the show. Classy!

How to make Viking heather beer
I was a bit of a worry to my father. He was a man who loved sport - especially football - while I loathed the playing field with a matching zeal. (My decision to go shopping instead of watching the 1966 World Cup Final was more than he could take). Also, and this was worse in his eyes, I preferred lager to "proper" beer. I just didn't like the heavy, sickly, bitter flavour. I think my father considered me to be a little effete, though this is not the word he might have chosen.
My lifelong aversion to all sport I put down to good sense, but my distaste for most beers may be due to my parents habit of providing me with a bedtime eggcupful of "Little Bricky" throughout my formative years. This noxious emanation from our local brewery - Brickwoods in Portsmouth – would, I think, be enough to put anyone off beer for life. I am still a bit of a lager drinker but have, at the behest of incredulous friends, made valiant attempts to appreciate the finer points of "proper" beers and have even started to make the stuff. I think I am finally recovering from all those Little Brickies.
Making beer is easy and quick - certainly easier and much quicker than wine-making. However you do need some more "kit", and big kit at that. With wine you are dealing with just a gallon, but beer can only, sensibly, be made in five gallon (25 litre) batches. Foremost is a saucepan capable of holding at least three gallons of liquid – I use a stockpot. You will also need a food-grade plastic fermentation bucket capable of holding 25 litres and either a 25 litre pressure barrel or an awful lot of beer bottles. In addition you will need a hydrometer and a cooking thermometer.

The following recipe comes from one of the most interesting people I know. His name is Alastair Wallace (a Scot, as if you needed telling). He is a delightful and engaging expert on ancient brewing techniques and breweries who can take a bit of stopping once you set him off on his favourite topic. I asked him if he could come up with an easy recipe using wild plants. He describes the recipe he sent me as a "metheglin" (a honey wine flavoured with herbs or spices) though I would suggest it is a honey beer, albeit one quite unrelated to the modern honey beers that contain very little honey indeed. It is more, as Alastair himself says, like the stuff the Vikings would have drunk.
