Music Review: Holy by Love as Laughter
2008-07-07 12:37:00 While they have been together for over a decade Love as Laughter?s new record Holy is their first on Isaac Brock?s Epic imprint Glacial Pace. While the group hails from Brooklyn, New York, Holy sounds like it could have come out of the Pacific North West during the early 1990s. This is not a surprise considering that Love As Laughter ...

Here's Jimmy Carter (hold your laughter) in 1979 on the need for a national
2008-06-10 07:01:00 It's amazing (and sad) to watch Carter talk about solar and renewables, the permanent energy shortage, and the need for conservation, THIRTY F*CKING YEARS AGO.And yet we did nothing. NOTHING.Why? Why did the US waste thirty years under Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush?Becaus-e that's what the lobbyists and the Energy and Auto Industrial Complex wanted.And now for America (and the world), it's too late. Now, we all pay the price of inaction.The good news? We now have an energy emergency. The talk about a "Manhattan Project" for energy might become a reality (under a new president and Congress). And energy now floats (for the time being) to the very top of the list of issues impacting regular Americans' lives.Here's five big EnergyPANIC ideas, what are yours?1) Conservation (oh, if Bush would only say the word)2) Solar/Wind/Nuclear/Non-Food Renewables Investment and Subsidies3) Massive Mass Transit Development4) Dramatic Fuel Efficiency Standard Improvement5) Vote every incumbent out of o...

Therapeutic benefits of laughter
2008-06-06 04:00:00 This is a report about Therapeutic Benefits of Laughter Therapeutic Benefits of Laughter Dr. Lee Berk and fellow researcher Dr. Stanley Tan of Loma Linda University in California have been studying the effects of laughter on the immune system. To date their published studies have shown that laughing lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones, increases muscle flexion, and boosts immune function by raising levels of infection-fighting T-cells, disease-fighting proteins called Gamma-interferon and B-cells, which produce disease-destroying antibodies. Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and produces a general sense of well-being.Following is a summary of his research, taken from an interview published in the September/October 1996 issue of the Humor and Health Journal.Laughter Activates the Immune System: Laughter Activates the Immune System In Berk's study, the physiological response produced by belly laughter was oppos...

Perspectives on Laughter
2008-06-02 15:15:00 Have you ever noticed that when you are caught up in a stressful situation for a while, you are much more likely to pick up a cold or flu? And when everything's going well you don't get sick as often? It's been shown in medical research that both stress and laughter have effects on the immune system, one having negative effects and the other positive ones. Laughter helps to stabilize blood pressure, stimulate circulation, aid digestion, increase oxygen supply to muscles, decrease muscle tension, and leaves you with an overall sense of well-being to name just a few.
Stress Relief Through Laughter And Play
2008-05-16 15:38:00 I guess most of us at some time in our lives have experienced a feeling of overwhelm. That's the time when you feel absolutely bombarded by stress and frustration everywhere you turn. In these situations you are most likely to be laughing much less and spending a whole lot more time frowning. If so, this would be a good time to do something different to make a positive change and bring some happiness and balance back into your life.

Laughter is the Best Medicine
2008-05-08 09:50:00 ‘Laughter is the Best Medicine’ - this is a very common phrase and one which many people associate with the therapeutic benefits of humour for people experiencing illness of some description. It can equally be applied to any situation, including relationships. I have seen couples exist under a complete absence of any form of obvious enjoyment of each other’s company - no laughing, no joking around, no silliness - just polite, respectful, relatively unimportant conversation. What type of relationship could survive such a boring environment! I think partners need to understand that every system needs energy to survive. Whether that system be a mechanical one such as a motor engine, or a biological one as could be found in an ecosystem, or even in the smallest sub-society, such as a relationship. Here, the emotional balance of the partnership requires energy, yet it is often neglected. Without this energy, boredom results, complacency thrives and the rot starts ...

Satsang and Laughter with Father Thomas Keating
2008-05-04 07:41:00 Father Thomas Keating who is one of the architect of the Centering Prayer movement, was present in the Oneness & Heart of the World event at Boulder, Colorado - where i had the privilege to be present. Today was the full day long event with talks, discussion, prayer and meditation with both Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee and Father Keating.Although previously i have listened to Father Keating's talk via youtube when he was invited by Ken Wilber, but this was the first time to watch and listen him talk. He is such a brilliant personality, may God bless him and his work.What really touched me and i'm sure other audience present was his deepness of understanding and wisdom and at the same time the charming ability to express innocent humor. Often time the discussion went into deepest arena of theology, philosophy of non-duality, of GodHead, themes such as the ultimate reality and experience of oneness, yet time to time with his most sweet sense of humor Father Keating kept the audience in...

Laughter Is The Best Medicine
2008-04-20 09:23:00 Laughter is the best medicine, perhaps against heart disease. A study found that people with heart disease were 40% less likely to laugh in a variety of situations compared to people of the same age without heart disease. Laughter is even equivalent to a small amount of exercise. It massages all the organs of the body.Laughter builds relationships. Laughter establishesâor restoresâa positive emotional climate and a sense of connection between two people, who literally take pleasure in the company of each other. Laughter disarms tension and stress. Shy people can make use of laughter to break subtle barriers in the way they project themselves to connect to others and express thoughts, feelings and ideas they otherwise would keep to themselves. Humor brings the balance we need to get through the turbulence of life comfortably.A sense of humor can help you accept the inevitable, rise to any challenge, handle the unexpected with ease, and come out of any difficulty smiling.

This Morning Hosts On Behind The Laughter
2008-04-11 11:35:00 This Morning hosts Phillip Schofield and Fern Britton lift the lid on what lies behind those laughter meltdowns.The daytime telly duo are famous for disolving in to fits of giggles while presenting their ITV show. Speaking to heat magazine Fern explained: "It's usually born out of something rude, or tiredness or stupidity."Phil added: "We would never in a million years set out to offend anyone, but there are times when things that are quite funny get so much worse because you know you shouldn't laugh. We have the same sense of humour, which fires off at the same time."Fern recently held a vibrator to her nose after being told by a guest - an elderly organiser of sex-toy parties - that if you sneeze, you've found the right one for you. She said: "I don't think there's anything that could shock us now. And there's great liberation in being able to discuss scrotums, vulvas and orgasms.""In the old days I might have thought, "Oh dear, I've just said 'cunnilingus' and my mum's ...

Inappropriate Laughter
2008-04-02 15:46:00     Everyone knows everything everyone else does small towns, although they live quite a distance apart. One day, in my best redneck accent (I do voices quite well, and though it’s dead-on, you’ll rarely meet anyone who sounds as inbred as I do when I do it), I quipped, “By God, you could fart at one end o’ th’ county and by the time ya git to th’ other end, ever’body knows what it smelt like!”     They died laughing, although they didn’t like that I said “fart.”     Good thing they don’t hear some of the other words I say on a regular basis…     One of the things I’ve always known is that there are many factions in small towns. There are people who it’s okay to talk to, and there are people who it’s not. That’s kind can get tricky, because quite honestly, I talk to everybody and don’t care about that kind of stuff. Generally, people don’t bo...

Laughter, The Best Medicine
2008-02-16 12:29:00 Is laughing good for you? You bet it is. You can actually laugh yourself healthy. Laughter is good medicine even during the most difficult times. I am sure you have heard that laughter is the best medicine. Where is the pharmacy to fill your prescription you ask? It is as close as the smile on your face. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and is very contagious. Laughter is one lifestyle choice you can make that can increase your lifespan and it doesn't cost a dime. To laugh or not to laugh is a choice only you can make. Laughter is anti-aging, it increases the levels of endorphins in your body, which are natural pain killers. It is a great way to maintain a youthful outlook on life. I've even had a headache disappear after a hearty laugh. It helps you relax. I often watch America's Funniest Videos just to boost my mood and help me cope with whatever might be bothering me at the moment.I got a chuckle out of these;"If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn'...

2008-01-21 21:35:00 How to buy Iron Maiden tapes during a repressive regime, keeping aging breasts round by soaking them in ice water for ten minutes a day, surviving war and tyranny as well as Austrian nihilists, and what to say to get kicked out of a nunnery in the middle of winter in Vienna. Persepolis, the animated feature film based on the bestselling graphic novels by Marjane Satrapi, is the political film currently winning accolades around the world (except Iran) and for good reason: not only can you discover the above secrets and negotiations of life through the poignant and vulnerable writing of Satrapi, but the animation is exquisite. The film also contains possibly the best bit of media-facilitated revenge I have ever seen exacted on an ex-lover. If I was that loser living in Austria, I'd be thinking twice before messing with another cartoonist like the driven, talented and fierce Satrapi. While ruminating on our present age of computer animation typified by Disney's creatively bankrupt Ca...
Writing to Heal
2008-01-20 18:47:00 It's unusual that I post on the weekend and posting twice is still more unusual. Still, I feel compelled to do so because of a email exchange with my friend Howard from Mead on Manhattan and author of Lullabye, Memories, Madness, and Midnight Snacks (which I highly recommend). It was more of a philosophical discussion on why and how we write. I realized that I rarely have the opportunity to write about writing but my observations (stimulated by Howard's) may have application for other bloggers. I've decided to post an edited version of my side of the conversation (with a few additions).I find that when I write out of anger rather than love, it makes me feel worse. Even the "angry" pieces about my mother's care or my siblings behavior were okay for me because the overriding theme was my love for my mother. Awhile ago, when I wrote about friends who had disappointed me, I felt better having done it because it was so heartfelt (for me) and seemed to release the sadness and disapp...

"Laughter is an instant vacation." -Milton Berle

But theres one thing about being with a group of guys that have become like brothers to you, and thats the ability to just have a good time despite the situation that you find yourself in. That is one of the greatest things I've noticed durring this deployment, is that we can be in a horrible situation (combat related or not) and just make the best of it. The last 2 days, I can honestly say I have had some of the best times here in Iraq, not by anything that we have done mission wise, but just having a good laugh at the expense of myself and others in our platoon.It all started on the last patrol that I went on. We had our First Sergeant that headed out with us, and his driver, a mortar guy, used to go out with our platoon alot back in the day. He's a great guy and a part of me misses the good times when he was along! *tear* Hahah. Anyways, he's a smoker...
