The TRUE Purpose of Life
The chances that this world is simply crashing forth through Time. without a Purpose, a distinct Plan or an ultimate Destination, is as impossible as having an explosion in a printing factory and finding in the aftermath, after the dust has settled, a perfect copy of a comprehensive dictionary, having created itself out of the debris!
This is what Science wants you to believe! The far more logic answer, underwritten and derived at by many of the world's greatest achievers, including several Astronauts after their experience in outer space, is that:

THERE IS A SUPER INTELLIGENT CREATOR WHO HAS ESTABLISHED CONTROLLED ORDER, BASED ON A SYSTEM OF CAUSE AND EFFECT

Man's inherent nature rebels against the Creator's Laws of Order - in the process reaping the effects of disorder. Disorder in personal lives, disorder in society and international disorder. The results are: unhappiness, disease, destruction of nature, crime and wars - a total lack of Peace!

'Gray's Anatomy' before McDreamy

This photo released by Ballantine Books shows the cover of 'Anatomist' by Bill Hayes.

The Anatomist" (Ballantine Books, 304 pages, $24.95), by Bill Hayes: Before surgery videos, medical dramas, House and McDreamy laid bare the body's failings, there was a book that showed how each part was supposed to fit together.


First published in 1858, "Gray's Anatomy" has never been out of print and become one of the most famous textbooks in the English language. Its detailed anatomical diagrams and descriptions continue to influence artists and medical students today.

Bill Hayes used the tome to spell-check anatomical terms for his previous two books exploring sleep disorders and the nature of human blood. "The Anatomist" is Hayes' attempt to reveal the man behind the diagrams, Henry Gray.

As Hayes quickly discovers, however, "Gray's Anatomy" is about all that remains of the gifted London medical student who became one of the leading anatomists of his day before his death in 1861 at age 34. None of Gray's manuscripts, letters or journals survive.

Hayes' inquiries could have stopped there, were it not for one significant discovery: Though the book bears his name, Gray didn't actually draw any of its 400 diagrams. Those were handiwork of Gray's collaborator, H.V. Carter, whose name was left off some subsequent editions of the book. Luckily for Hayes, Carter did leave behind family letters and journals written in the pinched script of a stressed-out medical student in 19th-century London.

Since Gray's body of work is so spare, Hayes makes do with another body: the cadaver in an anatomy class at the University of California-San Francisco. Hayes audits a year's worth of anatomy courses, joining medical students on their first squeamish days with the embalmed corpse through their eventually expert dissections.

These had been thinking, dreaming people, Hayes muses over the cadavers. So, too, had been Gray and Carter.

Much as the medical students reanimate still-supple joints in the lab, Hayes finds life pulsing in Carter's journals and letters. Through Carter's bleary eyes, Gray emerges as a young man racing to meet the demand for new medical textbooks. Right behind him is Carter, equally seeking knowledge but less sure of his abilities. He can hardly believe the brilliant Gray has asked him to illustrate this new medical text.

As in his previous books, Hayes mixes medical history with deceptively light personal observations. He finds the stress of deadlines and dissections has not changed since the 19th century. Nor has the ritual of peeling apart the body, nor the curiosity that draws a crowd to see an organ lifted free from muscle and bone. Hayes stands in for every medical student, every patient, anyone who has ever felt someone else's pulse beneath the skin. "The Anatomist" is as much about Gray and Carter as it is about human connections — fibrous, and otherwise.

Learning the origin of the electrical signals that cause the heart to beat, Hayes taps the center of his chest: "Here, right here, is where wonder begins."

Hedi Slimane back to "rock" Paris

French fashion designer Hedi Slimane, whose razor-thin black suits have changed the way men dress, is back in Paris but not on a catwalk.


Slimane, who abruptly parted ways with Dior Homme in March after a seven-year relationship, is staging a rock exhibit at Galerie Almine Rech in the Marais district through January.

Entitled "Perfect Stranger," it features Slimane's shots of fans and various audio and visual recordings he made during the Benicassim rock festival in Spain last July.

Like his previous photography books devoted to documenting a burgeoning London rock scene, Slimane's sleek minimalist black-and-white photos reflect his obsession with music and notably the fans.

"I spent one week, 24/7 shooting hundreds of fans...Fans and the appropriation mechanism are at the core of Perfect Stranger," Slimane told Reuters.

"Music is without a doubt key to building an identity or a sensibility," he added.

The Paris show is the first leg of a larger project Slimane is working on with Spain's MUSAC (The Castilla y Le�n Museum of Contemporary Art). There will be a show in Spain in May and a book.

ROCK RITUALS

Over the years, the 39-year-old Slimane has used his passion for photography and his connections to the rock world to pursue his quest for the mythology of rock, documenting rock concert rituals, the fans, and the whole infrastructure of a gig.

From Benicassim, Slimane brought back a fragment of Amy Winehouse's stage, an eerie film on the smoke machine The Klaxons used while performing, large-scale shots of fans mounted on crash barriers, and an installation of lamps, loudspeakers and floor glitter powder.

"My focus has always been on the codes, the signs, something like attempting a fragmentation or a semantic definition of the rock world, of a tradition based on a few codes that are being perpetually recycled," he said.

One of his first books of photographs "Stage" captured an emerging new rock scene in London and in America and in 2005 he released "London: The Birth Of A Cult," a book of photos inspired by the London scene and British rocker Pete Doherty.

"Since early 2000, I have been involved in the birth of a new rock scene. I documented, dressed, put on catwalks and sometimes produced many of its protagonists, particularly those from the English scene," he said.

"The start of Franz Ferdinand, the Libertines' troubles, the emergence of Pete Doherty...That was before rock was everywhere, on fashion runways and in advertising," Slimane recalled.

Slimane's passion for rock music is at the root of his creative process.

"Since I was a child, my whole life has revolved around music. It's often while listening to a song that ideas for my fashion collections formed," he said.

FASHION PASSION INTACT

It is often said that Slimane has revolutionized male fashion with his rock-inspired androgynous clothes made for and modeled by skinny young men.

His trademark slim black suits have been copied the world over. Slimane himself even became the subject of a song by Keys To The Streets Of Fear, a Boston punk band.

In turn, the bands that inspired him have often ended up wearing his clothes from new acts such Razorlight to old-timers like David Bowie or Mick Jagger.

In March, luxury goods giant LVMH did not renew Slimane's contract as artistic director for the Christian Dior menswear line, replacing him with Belgian designer Kris Van Assche.

The split was apparently ignited by Slimane's desire to launch his own label and branch into women's fashion, though LVMH chief Bernard Arnault offered to fund Slimane's line.

Slimane made a statement on his Web site at the time to explain his choice, saying he did not want to lose his creative freedom, sell his name and lose control of his own brand.

Since parting ways with Dior, Slimane has led a nomadic existence between Los Angeles, Berlin and Paris. This Summer he curated a group show entitled 'Sweet Bird of Youth' in Berlin with emerging New York artists and held a solo show at the Ellipse foundation in Lisbon.

Slimane said his future and his interest in fashion remain inextricably linked.

"My passion for fashion is absolutely intact...I need to be totally involved to again commit myself to a new fashion or perfume project," he said. "I feel totally free. I have not reclaimed my freedom. I never lost it."

Hayden stole the spotlight at this year's Emmy awards with a chic palette of gold hues.
This season, face the party circuit with a gorgeous glow that's both beautifully ethereal and easy to achieve. For inspiration, look no further than Hayden Panettiere's pretty makeup at the Emmy Awards: luminous skin, subtly shimmery eyes, and neutral glossy lips.

"The holidays are absolutely the best time to wear this stunning look," says makeup artist Matin Maulawizada, Neutrogena's cosmetics science expert, who often works with Hayden for red–carpet events. And the best part is, "It doesn't even look like you're wearing a lot of makeup," he says, "so you still look like you!"

Start by applying a sheer tinted moisturizer to even out skin tone. Then, to add warmth to your complexion for a sun–kissed effect, Maulawizada suggests using a tinted moisturizer that's one shade darker than what you'd normally use, instead of a powder bronzer, which can make your face look dry and dirty. "Focus the deeper tint just on the cheeks, along the temples, and on the bridge of the nose for the most natural–looking glow," he says. Highlight the inner corners of the eyelids with a soft shimmer powder (try a pearly pale–pink or a coppery–gold hue), define the eyes with a black liner, and dramatically boost your lashes with a volumizing mascara.

"You also want a hint of color on the cheeks, so that you're not just bronzy all over," points out Maulawizada. To find the perfect shade of blush, try his secret trick: Press your thumb and forefinger together, and match the flush that appears on the fingertips. "That's the color of your cheeks when you naturally blush!" he explains. Smile while looking in the mirror, and sweep the blush onto the highest points of the cheeks. Finish with a swipe of clear gloss across the lips and you're ready to go!

Luckily, you won't need to lug around your makeup bag all night for touch–ups. "All you need to take with you is your lip gloss and blotting papers," swears Maulawizada. "No excuses—they're easy to carry in even the smallest clutch!"

Holiday Makeup Tips

TIP #1: Use a primer as a base layer to give cosmetics maximum staying power.

TIP #2: Combat an oily T–zone by applying translucent powder with a puff.

TIP #3: Avoid using shimmer on problematic skin—it can emphasize breakouts.

TIP #4: If you're wearing a short dress, moisturize legs with baby oil to give them a healthy sheen.

Lifestyle change best treatment for heartburn

Too many of us are familiar with the discomfort of heartburn symptoms -- especially this time of year when overeating and rich foods can cause our digestive systems to rebel.

You may suffer from heartburn if you occasionally have symptoms such as chest pain after eating, a feeling of food "sticking" in your throat or chest, difficulty swallowing, a burning feeling in your chest or throat, or a sour or acidic taste in the back of your throat. Though uncomfortable, these symptoms are usually manageable with over-the-counter antacids.

While occasional heartburn is common, it can be a sign of something more serious if symptoms persist for prolonged periods. If you experience heartburn regularly (more than two or three days a week for several months), you may have gastro-esophageal reflux disease, or GERD.

GERD, also commonly called acid reflux disease, is a chronic condition that occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (the valve separating the esophagus and stomach) does not close properly, allowing acid to back up into the esophagus. This condition is not only painful, but can cause further, more serious medical problems such as esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus) or even esophageal cancer if left untreated.


The treatment for GERD is similar to the treatment for heartburn. Lifestyle changes have proven to be very effective in treating both occasional heartburn and more severe GERD symptoms.

If you are overweight, losing weight can greatly reduce heartburn and/or GERD symptoms, as excess weight can put too much strain on your digestive system. Avoid fatty or acidic foods (such as tomatoes and citrus fruits), and avoid eating anything right before bed time. Smoking and excess alcohol consumption can also increase instances of heartburn and GERD flare-ups, as can regularly drinking caffeinated beverages.

For treating occasional heartburn, over-the-counter antacids such as Tums or Maalox work with varying degrees of speed and strength. You may have to try more than one type or brand to find one that's right for you.

Over-the-counter medicines are also available that actually block or reduce acid production. These products are either histamine-2 blockers (such as Pepcid-AC) or proton pump inhibitors (such as Prilosec). These medications can prove very effective in treating some people's symptoms, but always discuss any medications you plan to take on a regular basis with your physician.

If your heartburn persists and over-the-counter medications and lifestyle changes remain ineffective, be sure to make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your symptoms and to evaluate whether further treatment is needed.

Review: 'Blood'

“There Will Be Blood,” Paul Thomas Anderson’s epic American nightmare, arrives belching fire and brimstone and damnation to Hell. Set against the backdrop of the Southern California oil boom of the late-19th and early-20th centuries, it tells a story of greed and envy of biblical proportions — reverberating with Old Testament sound and fury and New Testament evangelicalism — which Mr. Anderson has mined from Upton Sinclair’s 1927 novel “Oil!” There is no God but money in this oil-rich desert and his messenger is Daniel Plainview, a petroleum speculator played by a monstrous and shattering Daniel Day-Lewis.
Someday, we're probably going to look back at "There Will Be Blood," Paul Thomas Anderson's epic about greed, lies, manipulation and insanity, and call it his masterpiece.

Daniel Day-Lewis gives a towering performance as an oilman in "There Will Be Blood."

Which is incredible because, except for the inescapable intensity, it's nothing like his previous films; if Anderson's name weren't on it, you'd never know it was his. It's thrilling to see him reinvent himself this way, applying his formidable directing talents in a totally different fashion.

Gone are the film-school tricks he made his name with in "Boogie Nights" and "Magnolia" (and this critic loved those movies). Anderson has moved out of contemporary L.A. and away from the histrionics of the carefully orchestrated ensembles he set there. He now seems more interested in storytelling and character development.

What a character he's created in Daniel Plainview -- and what a performance he's gotten out of Daniel Day-Lewis.

As a turn-of-the-century oil man, Day-Lewis gives one of the more terrifying turns of his long and eclectic career. He just completely dominates. He can be charming and cruel in the same breath, and with an accent reminiscent of John Huston, he says and does whatever he must to get his way.

That includes taking over a chunk of the central California coast and building a town there so that he can drill. (Anderson based his script very loosely on Upton Sinclair's 1920s muckraking novel "Oil!") A one-time silver miner, Plainview accidentally finds gold one day and sets his sights higher; this all takes place at the film's start, which stunningly lasts 15 wordless minutes.

"I hate most people," Plainview eventually confesses in a rare moment of introspection. The only one he connects with is his young son, H.W. (confident newcomer Dillon Freasier), who travels with him from town to town and tries to soften up the locals to get them to sell their land.

One person in Plainview's latest target of Little Boston who sees right through his tactics is the fresh-faced, seemingly innocent preacher, Eli Sunday, played with unexpected volatility by Paul Dano ("Little Miss Sunshine"). Eli comes off as soft-voiced, pious and ingratiating. He offers to give a blessing when Plainview opens his first derrick, for example, and won't take no for an answer. ("It's a simple blessing, Daniel, but an important one," he insists.)

But once Eli is on a roll, preaching in the town's crowded, makeshift church, he turns into a wildly charismatic evangelist -- and right then and there, Plainview knows he's met his match. They hate each other instantly; both recognize they're two sides of the same coin. And the ensuing, humiliating game of one-upmanship in which they engage is raw and riveting.

Just as Plainview enjoys his greatest success, though, he also suffers his greatest heartbreak. He gets his gusher but the spectacular derrick explosion leaves H.W. without hearing. This also marks the beginning of the end of Plainview's sanity, which at best was tenuous. The more money he makes, the more his mind and morals deteriorate.

Could this be Anderson's cautionary tale about the evils of greed and wealth? Hardly. He's never judged his characters before (porn stars, junkies) and he's not about to start now. It's more like a character study of a fascinating and deeply flawed man during a time of great change in our country. Reading much more into his intentions would be foolish.

One quibble: "There Will Be Blood" feels a bit too long, though it is shorter than Anderson's magnum opus "Magnolia," which ran just over three hours. Nevertheless, at the end -- and the climax is a jaw-dropper, one that hopefully hasn't already been ruined for you through news reports -- you may have a hard time getting out of your seat. It'll knock you out.

But please do take the time to see it on the big screen, for Robert Elswit's sprawling, dreamlike cinematography; for Jack Fisk's elaborate production design; and for the modern, dissonant score from Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood that will grab you and set you on edge from the first frames.

It's worth the emotional investment. "There Will Be Blood," which is both a threat and a promise, is one of those movies that will stick with you and change your mood for days.
