Blind Guardian - Time What Is Time

Song: Time What is Time Artist: Blind Guardian Album: Somewhere Far Beyond (1992) LYRICS: When the moonchild is crying And silence has broken The darkest truth The things she remembered Had never been her own Replicant or human I know the way to show What do I see What will I find Know the answer inside It's your last step Time what is time I wish I knew how to tell you why It hurts to know Aren't we machines Time what is time Unlock the door And see the truth Then time is time again [Whispering] These dreams were never mine It's cold inside It's gone forever The things he saw Who can say what's wrong or right The vision of a free life His eyes had seen it all For what He's asking The vision, vision, vision I know it's all a lie I'll remember the past life And I'll remember time [Lead: Andre] What did I see What have I done God I knew the answers When he felt so tired Time what is time Come lock the door don't let me in I am the one your destiny Time what is time Reality - it hurts me so When time is time again [Solo: Andre] Look into my eyes Feel the fear just for a while I'm a replicant and I love to live Is it all over now Only these years I'll leave but I'm singing Time what is time He saw it clearly it's too late It does not heal but it lets us forget Time what is time We'll never know So don't take care Then time is time again Should I forget The way I feel God he knows how long I tried Feel there is no reason to cry I live my life In fortune dreams forever

Pennies a Day to Buy the Best Shower Filter

Just think of the money you spend every year on hair products, including shampoos that are supposed to make your hair reflect the brilliance of nature. Conditioners to tame your unruly locks and give you a movie star look. Hair appliances to straighten your hair, or curl your hair, add to the cost of yearly hair maintenance. Add the cost of salon color and you have quite a hefty cost at the end of the year.

These are not bad things. But, you need to be smart and start with the most basic thing your hair needs. The first need is for your hair to be truly clean. All of our municipal water companies use chlorine to disinfect our water, and some of it stays in the water that comes from our tap.

We wouldn't drink tap water with chlorine in it. So you can see that it is not something we should bathe in either. It costs just pennies a day to purchase the best shower filter. And it is guaranteed for your lifetime!

Before you had a shower filter to remove chlorine, your hair left the shower with a coating of chlorine. No wonder your hair did not reflect the brilliance of nature but instead was matted and hard to comb. Adding the conditioner of choice did make it easy to comb but with chlorine underlying all, you did not get the movie star look.

A 2 stage showerhead filter promotes healthy hair. Chlorine strips your hair of the natural oils nature supplies. It will give your hair a chance to heal from years of "chlorine abuse". You will see and feel the difference in your hair and your skin after your very first chlorine free shower.

Buying the best shower filter is not an additional expense. It is the primary investment in healthy, beautiful hair and skin.

Weather Stripping Doors - A Good Home Improvement Task

Sealing the gaps around the doors in your home is critically important for cutting down on drafts and reducing energy loss. Although these small gaps may seem insignificant, they can add up to some serious loss of energy. To make this clear, a narrow gap of just 1/4 inch at the bottom of an entry door is equal to having a three inch square hole in the middle of your door. So, as you can see, one of the best home improvement tasks you can do is to apply weatherstripping to the doors in your home.

When a door is closed, warm and cool air can escape out between the door jamb and the door. You will get both more comfort and an increase in energy saving by sealing those gaps.

To begin this home improvement task, you need to take your supplies outside. When you are ready to begin, close and lock the door so that is it closed tightly. Measure the top of the door from the edge of the door stop on the left to the door stop on the right. (The door stop is the trim that runs along the door all around). Next take those measurements and mark the weather strip. Use snippers to cut the strip at the mark you made. Be sure it fits properly and then place the piece of weather stripping at the top of the door stop, but be sure not to press it too hard into place so that the door will open hard. Next take the screws that are provided and drive a screw into the middle hole on the metal strip. Do this until all of the screw holes have screws in them. If you begin in the center and work toward the ends you will have put equal pressure along the entire strip, ensuring a good tight fit.

The next step is in this do-it-yourself home improvement task is to install the weatherstripping on one side of the door. Measure from the piece of weather strip that you just applied to the threshold plate at the bottom of the door. Take these measurements and cut your piece of weather stripping. Once again put the weather strip against the door and secure it to the door stop the same way you did for the first piece. Now go ahead and do exactly the same thing for the other side of the door and install it in the same manner.

Now that you have all three pieces installed, you should go inside and close the door tightly. Check around the entire door for any daylight. If you can see any daylight at all peeking through, then go back outside, close and lock the door again and remove the screws in that area that you saw the light and push the stripping in a little harder, then simply put the screws back in again. Repeat this around the entire door until you no longer see daylight when inside looking out.

Twenty-Three - MC Lars

Track 8 "Twenty-Three" by MC Lars off his new CD "This Gigantic Robot Kills" LYRICS: I don't sleep, because sleep is the cousin of death Down the hall, there's a kid that I know He's kind of quirky so I say hello He's so sarcastic but he's always right Working on those problem sets late into the night Mad magazines sit piled by his bed A million brilliant thoughts going all through his head We bike to class in the autumn rain He tells me that he's fine but I know he's in pain Pat I miss you dude it's so hard to say goodbye In Europe last winter you were tired of the lie Monoxide in the bathroom but the door was locked We were always there for you, you could have called and talked I felt guilty and alone and so sick when I discovered You did it in Berlin, you'd just talked to your mother I guess it was too much, depression disillusion Maybe suicide's an answer, but it wasn't the solution And I wish that you hadn't done it Could have won it and moved on from it And we could have grown old together But instead you'll always be 23.... 23. We sat together one night on El Camino On the bench by the bus stop hiding from El Nino You told me your secret I just sat there in shock You couldn't tell your parents, you couldn't break that lock Cognitive dissonance, trapped in your shell Depression and regression made your life a living hell The pain was too intense, the fence too strong to break So you went to Germany, it was too much to take You came back broken hearted distracted by ...

Twilight - all that i'm active for - Evanescence [spoiler]

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN this song, photos, or videos. This is solely for entertainment purposes. No copyright infringement intended. If you have not read twilight, do not see this video!!! [spoiler] This video is the whole twilight book condensed to about 4 minutes lol I tried to find the best quailty video [which mostly came from trailers] but i have some recorded stuff to that i found floating around the internet. I picked this song because not many people used this song to make twilight videos and so i wanted to be different and pick this song [and the song actually goes pretty well] Here are the lyrics: "All That I'm Living For" All that I'm living for, All that I'm dying for, All that I can't ignore alone at night. I can feel the night beginning. Separate me from the living. Understanding me, After all I've seen. Piecing every thought together, Find the words to make me better. If I only knew how to pull myself apart. All that I'm living for, All that I'm dying for, All that I can't ignore alone at night. All that I'm wanted for, Although I wanted more. Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me. I believe that dreams are sacred. Take my darkest fears and play them Like a lullaby, Like a reason why, Like a play of my obsessions, Make me understand the lesson, So I'll find myself, So I won't be lost again. All that I'm living for, All that I'm dying for, All that I can't ignore alone at night. All that I'm wanted for, Although I wanted more. Lock the last ...

5 Easy Things You Can Do To Improve Home Security Right Now

Oftentimes when thinking about improving home security, many people start immediately focusing on electronic devices like security systems, alarms, cameras, and so forth. And to be sure, all of those products have a role to play in a high quality home security plan. But actually there are some very simple things that anyone can do to raise the security level in and around their home with very little cost and effort. And here is our list of 5 things that can help make your home more secure right away:

1. If you happen to be one of those folks who likes to leave a key to the front door of your house hidden under your doormat, or over the door frame, or within easy reach of your front door, you are just inviting a home break-in and making it easy for the burglar. Experienced burglars know that lots of people hide the key to the front door in close proximity to the door to make it more convenient for them to get in when they forget their key for some reason. So they just check around the front door area and can often come up with easy entry into your home in a very short period of time by doing so. Its not a good idea to hide your key outside at all therefore, but if you must, at least hide it a good distance away from the front door where no one would think to look.

2. One of the other most common ways that burglars can gain easy access to your home is through an open or unlocked window. This just makes it way too easy for them. So if you happen to be one of those folks who loves to have your windows open, at least install safety locks that will only allow them to be open part of the way and not enough for someone to be able to climb through. And when you are away from the house, it's best to have the windows shut and locked at all times.

3. Just drive down almost any street and you will find houses that have trees and large shrubs up next to the house where someone could hide. That is a bad safety strategy, and it would be good for you to go outside and look at your home from the standpoint of an intruder. How easy is it to get close to your home without being seen? Can someone gain access to upper floors of the home by climbing a nearby tree? If you spot possible hiding places close to the house, do whatever is necessary to eliminate that danger. Prevention is your best protection in this area.

4. Many home intrusions take place at night simply because darkness helps conceal suspicious behavior. So bright lights are an intruder's worst enemy. In view of that, some well-placed motion detection lights can do wonders for your home security. They are cheap and simple to install, and can be very effective in preventing break-ins.

5. If you have nice possessions, like an expensive car, keep it in the garage. Try to do as little as possible to attract attention to any pricey posserssions that you may have. Burglars would rather invest their time and energy in homes that promise a good payday as opposed to those where they can't really tell much about what is inside. So keep windows covered so that it is hard to see inside, and use shades at night to keep others from looking inside your home to see what valuables are there.

All of these ideas are very simple and easy to implement, but together they can raise your home security level right away.
