The inner beauty of a Woman ♥♥
Like an oyster in the ocean,
its outer shell so plain and dull,
but when you look inside of it,
there’s a pearl so beautiful.
The most beautiful women are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depts. These women have an appreciation, sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.

خیلی زیبا بود مینا جان:-) این سخن در مورد آقایون هم صدق میکنه، فرا جنسیتی است به نظرم. مرد یا زن، زشت یا زیبا در ظاهر، بعد از زمانی چشم به زیباترین یا زشترین عادت میکنه و تنها چیزی که هیچوقت در مقابل چشم آدم یکنواخت جلوه نمیکند زیبایی و حسن درون آدمهاست که البته بس نایاب هست

Flo14wer jan, مرسی خوشحالم که دوست داشتید/ بله درسته خانم و اقا فرق نمیکنه/ اگر ادم ها بدانند که قلب خوب داشتن چقدر زیبا هست اسلن ناراحت بیرونشان نمیشوند چون زیباتر دیده خواهند شد/ مرسی از کامنت شیرینتان:-)

I see a red door and I want it painted black … No colors anymore I want them to turn black … I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes … I have to turn my head until my darkness goes … I see a line of cars and they're all painted black … With flowers and my love both never to come back … I see people turn their heads and quickly look away … Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day … I look inside myself and see my heart is black … I see my red door and it has been painted black … Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts … It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black … No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue … I could not foresee this thing happening to you … If I look hard enough into the settin' sun … My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes … I see a red door and I want it painted black … No colors anymore I want them to turn black … I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes … I have to turn my head until...

I love the STONES ... as some other bands are splitting or retiring, almost 50 years together Stones going strong ... this is what I call true artists ... They love what they do, it doesn't matter how old, how famous, how rich and how tired they are ... :-)

"Most folks who resolved to cut down on coffee this year are driven by the simple desire for self-improvement. But for coffee drinkers in 17th century Turkey, there was a much more concrete motivating force: a big guy with a sword. Sultan Murad IV, a ruler of the Ottoman Empire, would not have been a fan of Starbucks. Under his rule the consumption of coffee was a capital offense."

"The sultan was so intent on eradicating coffee that he would disguise himself as a commoner and stalk the streets of Istanbul with a hundred-pound broadsword. Unfortunate coffee drinkers were decapitated as they sipped. Murad IV's successor was more lenient. The punishment for a first offense was a light cudgeling. Caught with coffee a second time, the perpetrator was sewn into a...

"Perhaps the bawdiest argument against coffee was "The Womens [sic] Petition Against Coffee," published in England in 1674. Brimming with innuendos that would make Shakespeare blush, the six page manifesto blamed coffee for every type of impotence. Monarchs and tyrants publicly argued that coffee was poison for the bodies and souls of their subjects, but Mark Pendergrast — author of Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World — says their real concern was political."

This is interesting since coffee drinking/coffee houses (cafes) were started off by the Ottomans (i really hate this word, lol, it's not even remotely Turkish)

Coffee is well known during conversation, especially during break time and cold seasons. To know more about coffee you can visit the site www.coffeefashion.com.

"First off—and this should go without saying—you need a gun. Preferably a shotgun. If you can’t hit the head (though you should always aim for the head), chances are the shot will still do some damage to one—or several—of your brainless assailants. After that? Outfit yourself with these must-have items."

"Shen Kuo or Shen Gua (Chinese: 沈括; pinyin: Shěn Kuò; Wade–Giles: Shen K'uo) (1031–1095), style name Cunzhong (存中) and pseudonym Mengqi (now usually given as Mengxi) Weng (夢溪翁),[1] was a polymathic Chinese scientist and statesman of the Song Dynasty (960–1279). Excelling in many fields of study and statecraft, he was a mathematician, astronomer, meteorologist, geologist, zoologist, botanist, pharmacologist, agronomist, archaeologist, ethnographer, cartographer, encyclopedist, general, diplomat, hydraulic engineer, inventor, academy chancellor, finance minister, governmental state inspector, poet, and musician."

"Such genes [jumping genes], which have been found in virtually all species, including humans, can paste copies of themselves into other parts of the genome (the full set of DNA in the nucleus) and alter the functioning of the affected cell, making it behave differently from an otherwise identical cell right next to it. Many such insertions in many different cells would be expected to yield subtle or not so subtle differences in cognitive abilities, personality traits and susceptibility to neurological problems. Our early findings of gene jumping in the brain have led us to another question: Given that the brain’s proper functioning is essential to survival, why has evolution allowed a process that tinkers with its genetic programming to persist? Although we still do not have a definite answer, mounting evidence suggests that by inducing variability in brain cells, jumping genes may imbue organisms with the flexibility to adapt quickly to changing circumstances. Therefore, these...

"The continuing research into jumping genes in the brain could potentially challenge an entire academic discipline. Behavioral geneticists often follow groups of identical twins over long periods to control for the effects of genes and determine the environmental contributions to such disorders as schizophrenia. The new findings showing that jumping genes actively revise genomes after...

"Zoroastrianism /ˌzɒroʊˈæstriənɪzəm/ (or Mazdaism) is a religion and philosophy based on the teachings of prophet Zoroaster (also known as Zarathustra, in Avestan) and was formerly among the world's largest religions.[1] It was probably founded some time before the 6th century BCE in Greater Iran. In Zoroastrianism, the Creator Ahura Mazda is all good, and no evil originates from Him. Thus, in Zoroastrianism good and evil have distinct sources, with evil (druj) trying to destroy the creation of Mazda (asha), and good trying to sustain it. Mazda is not immanent in the world, and His creation is represented by the Amesha Spentas and the host of other Yazatas, through whom the works of God are evident to humanity, and through whom worship of Mazda is ultimately directed. The most important texts of the religion are those of the Avesta, of which a significant portion has been lost, and mostly only the liturgies of which have survived. The lost portions are known of only through references and brief quotations in the later works, primarily from the 9th to 11th centuries."

"In some form, it served as the national or state religion of a significant portion of the Iranian people for many centuries. The religion first dwindled when the Achaemenid Empire was invaded by Alexander III of Macedon, after which it collapsed and disintegrated[2] and it was further gradually marginalized by Islam from the 7th century onwards with the decline of the Sassanid...

"The religion states that active participation in life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. This active participation is a central element in Zoroaster's concept of free will, and Zoroastrianism rejects all forms of monasticism. Ahura Mazda will ultimately prevail over the evil Angra Mainyu or Ahriman, at which...

There's a huge temple in Wembley I believe, what made you post this, I'm kind of impressed you know about them, most people have never heard of this religion.

Right off the bat: it's funk. Pretty straightforward so far rhythmically and structurally. We'll see how long that holds up. :)

11 minutes into it and it sounds a bit more like what he was doing on Bitches Brew, but much much denser. There's a crazy metal-inflected guitar solo that just started. It's all quite palatable.

"Two and a half miles beneath the surface of Antarctica’s central Eastern ice sheet is a body of water 160 miles by 30 miles across known as Lake Vostok, after the Vostok research station above it, built by the former Soviet Union in 1957 and now operated by Russia."

"Even by Antarctic standards it’s a brutal place, with the dubious honor of holding the record for the lowest measured temperature anywhere on the planet, a mind-if-not-body numbing -129 F or -89 C. Performing any kind of mechanical or scientific work in this environment is an immense challenge."

I'm probably a masochist, but I really yearn to go to places like this.

I know that kind of feeling. The places I yearn for are a bit less extreme than this one, but still. I so want to go to the Himalayas!

Can life be built with an alien biochemistry? Scientists are currently building alternative kinds of genetic codes, and showing how they can evolve. While scientists say the laws of physics and chemistry might favor carbon-based life resembling ours, life could exist in more diverse forms, if it included a code-carrying system like DNA.

Although despite my thinking about the future, I just spent half an hour loading and reviewing reports from 10/27/2010 instead of today, so maybe I should also think about the present.

"Browns Valley resident Cynthia Rinehart was walking her dogs one night last weekend in Sunrise Meadows Park when she realized something was amiss — her border collie dug in his heels and wouldn’t budge. She looked up to see two coyotes scamper away, the first time she’s seen coyotes in more than 20 years of living in west Napa. “It was kind of disbelief, like coyotes — huh?,” Rinehart said. “We don’t have coyotes here.” A number of her neighbors have reported seeing the wild animals in the last couple of weeks, setting off a chain of postings on the subject at an online neighborhood news forum, Nextdoor Browns Valley, Rinehart said. “Browns Valley neighbors are talking,” Rinehart said. The Napa County Sheriff’s Animal Control Division has received several reports of coyotes in the Browns Valley neighborhood in the last month, said Sgt. Craig Nickles. Nickles said his officers will check the area, but unless there’s a report of an attack or a diseased coyote, animal control is...

It seems the Venezia festival has got more diverse in recent years. I remember that theme if the masks and customs were more classic Bohemian but now I can even see eastern tastes....It's beautiful.
