CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP)—Evel Knievel is dead.
That sentence probably should have been written in 1968, when Knievel crashed his motorcycle spectacularly as he jumped the fountains at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas and wound up in a coma.
It probably should have been written in 1974, when his rocket-powered cycle failed as he tried to jump the Snake River Canyon and he almost landed in the raging water. Or the numerous other times when, while trying to jump something bigger than ever, he splattered.
Instead, it was written Friday. Natural causes. Age 69.
"It's been coming for years, but you just don't expect it. Superman just doesn't die, right?" said longtime friend and promoter Billy Rundle.
It's amazing he was only 69. Photos show a man much older. But then again, few lived life harder than Evel Knievel. The women, the alcohol, the broken bones.
Last Easter, Evel told the masses at Crystal Cathedral that he'd had a middle-of-the-night encounter with God.
"I don't know what in the world happened," Robert "Evel" Knievel said. "I don't know if it was the power of the prayer or God himself, but it just reached out, either while I was driving or walking down the sidewalk or sleeping, and it justâthe power of God in Jesus just grabbed me. ⦠All of a sudden, I just believed in Jesus Christ. I did, I believed in him! ⦠I rose up in bed and, I was by myself, and I said, 'Devil, Devil, you bastard you, get away from me. I cast you out of my life.' ⦠I just got on my knees and prayed that God would put his arms around me and never, ever, ever let me go."

Intra-faith divisions are certainly among the most dangerous elements of religion. Sunnis vs. Shiites. Catholics vs. Protestants. Orthodox Jews vs. secular ones. To outsiders, these factions look at best shortsighted and at worst fundamentally flawed.
I have heard several people who identify themselves as Christians say that because other people who identify themselves as Christians do not believe in such and such, or donât agree with so and so, or havenât done whatever, that they are not really Christians, and some even contend that these counterfeit or phony or somehow not qualified âChristiansâ (with their scare quotes) will burn in hell. Sometimes the differences they cite sound at least theologically significant, sometimes itâs too subtle or esoteric for me to fathom, and sometimes it sounds like they just donât go to the same particular church.
To me as an outsider this is bizarre and ridiculous. On the news I hear Muslims dismissing other Muslims as ânot good Muslims,â or ânot true Muslimsâ for disparities only they can comprehend. How can theists of any flavor ever hope to attract outsiders when so many differences are cited as disqualifying all the others but their specific variety of religion, differences that seem indistinguishable to anyone not already inside their camp? From the eyes of the uninitiated, their micro-controversies discredit them all as a whole.
That's from Richard Wade at the Friendly Athiest. The question, Wade asks, is whether this is happening to non-theists amid the push for evangelical atheism.
We have several terms that non-god-believing folks use to identify themselves to emphasize other aspects they feel are important. Is there a looking down the nose from those using one term toward those using another? Do humanists look askance at freethinkers? Do skeptics roll their eyes about brights?
Has anyone ever been accused of not being a true atheist by another person calling himself or herself an atheist?

My post Sunday about why I work at The Jewish Journal got some traction in the blogosphere, much to Paul Almond's dismay. Almond was the name attached to at least one of the comments and, based on the writing style and substance, is presumably the identity of Jewboy. And he was none too pleased to learn that The Forward interviewed me last summer about my Christian beliefs and Jewish background.
paul almond said:
Great - first the "Jewish Journal" and now the Forward put forward this Christian with Jewish parents as someone to be lauded by the Jewish community, instead of someone who is a horrible example of Jews gone bad. I expect the next story will feature a JforJ type who is really a very good person and should be idolized by the Jewish community. Barf
To reiterate what I told The Forward last summer:
No, Iâm not involved in Jews for Jesus. No, they have not slipped a mole into the Jewish Journal. I donât have a special calling to baptize all of âthose pagan Jews.â I think when people understand who I am, when they see the sensitivity of my reporting, and the fact that I am just a really curious journalist who does care about this community and is interested in the stories that are affecting it, I think it breaks down those walls.

Sometimes being politically correct is just so wrong:
DeFUNIAK SPRINGS â The annual Nativity creche on the Walton County Courthouse lawn will look a little different this year.
The County Commission decided this week to include secular items such as a snowman to the display after Americans United for Separation of Church and State sent the county a letter in July claiming that the creche is unconstitutional.
The article states that a snowman or Santa Claus might be added to the display. I see that, and raise the Walton County weaklings one Harry Potter statue, the complete cast of "Golden Compass" and Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo.

"I can only guarantee you five minutes."
In the middle of a park in Sierra Madre, on an absolutely perfect fall Sunday morning, Sharon Jimenez, senior adviser on the West Coast for U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinichâs campaign for president, is laying down some ground rules. We are surrounded by volunteers, who busily set up chairs, sort placards and stack fliers for the congressmanâs speech and fund-raiser. Twenty feet away, at a lopsided picnic table beneath a lopsided tree, sits Kucinich, wearing a ginger-colored blazer that immediately makes me wonder how many Winnie-the-Poohs had to die to make it. With his familiar squint and little-boy haircut that always appears as if it has been combed with a hot buttered roll, he nods in response to the conclusions of a Pasadena Weekly reporter.
âI thought you were going to get me a ride-along with him to the airport,â I say to Jimenez.
âOh, well,â she says, smiling and shrugging her massive shoulder pads.
âBut I donât have any five-minute questions,â I say, holding up my notebook. âAll my questions are conversational â theyâre Bill Moyer questions.â
âLike I said, I can only guarantee you five minutes,â she says, looking at her watch. âThe congressman goes on in about eight minutes, and then he has to be in San Mateo for a straw poll at 2.â
Jimenezâs uncanny resemblance to the band manager and lovable curmudgeon of The Partridge Family, Rubin Kincaid, allows me the grace to forgive her persnickety manner as having less to do with me and more to do with the character that I imagine her to be playing.
âWhich airport is he going to?â I ask. âLAX?â
âNo, Burbank,â she says, drastically shortening even the drive time I was hoping to get.
âBurbank?â I flip through my notes, looking for short-answer questions, wondering if Iâm wasting my time and trying to remember why I came in the first place.
I can't tell you how many times I have been here lately—not in a park waiting to interview the man-less-likely-than-Alan-Keyes-to-be-president, but at an event of my own choosing where all I am wondering is how I recover the half day I just wasted.
Though it seems for Mr. Fish, the reporter giving the first-person here, waiting for Kucinich wasn't such a waste of time. The resulting story is the cover of the current LA Weekly, and it offers some illuminating passages on America's wackiest politician. This one is particularly enjoyable.
âAll right,â he says, looking at his watch again. âWe got five minutes â do you have a short question?â
âSure,â I say, taking a second to turn on my tape recorder. âWhat nonpolitical source material informs your idealism?â
I smile, waiting. He doesnât answer me. âIn other words,â I try again, âa lot of your ideas seem to stress the importance of peace and humanitarianism and, certainly, you can talk about those things as political ideals, but politics doesnât really offer the best insight into those subjects. Itâs like Richard Nixonâs peace sign, for example, meant something entirely different from John Lennonâs. Most people donât look to politics to help them sustain their understanding of humanitarianism â they usually look to art and poetry and literature and philosophy. What are your cultural reference points?â
âWell, you know,â begins Kucinich, hunching forward with the melancholy of somebody who has just been handed cotton candy and asked to knit a cake, âyou can talk about the 20th century and look at the writings of Erich Fromm, the work of Carl Rogers, [Abraham] Maslow, the humanistic psychologists. You can look at the English Romantic poets from centuries ago who had a sense of the perfectibility of humankind, of our deep connection to nature, of the importance of upholding a natural world. You can come back to Walden Pond, to Thoreau, to Emerson, to their understanding of intellectual integrity and of freedom. But you could go back thousands of years, too, to the basic structure of moral law thatâs reflected in the teachings of all the great religions.â He stops. I wait. He stays stopped.
âWhat about more-modern influences?â I say. âAre you in touch with any of the artistic or cultural movements that are contemporary; ideas and artistic trends that excite and motivate people, particularly young people, to view humanity as a whole rather than as incongruent pieces, which is more what politics tends to do? I donât guess that all the values that inform your political identity are as antiquated or esoteric as Thoreau or the Bible â you were a product of the â60s, right?â
âLook,â he says, âmy philosophical underpinnings relate to concepts that are really timeless, that go back to 2,000 years of Christianity, thousands of years of the Hindu religion, that go to the tradition of Buddhism, to the moral teachings of Judaism, to the peaceful expressions of Islam. All of these are tributaries of a spiritual understanding that I have.â

The Forward reported this month that presidential candidates and major Muslim American organizations were keeping each other at arms' length. Today, The Washington Post says questions about Islam keep dogging Barack Obama, who, in fact, is a member of an ultra-liberal Christian church.
In his speeches and often on the Internet, the part of Sen. Barack Obama's biography that gets the most attention is not his race but his connections to the Muslim world.
Since declaring his candidacy for president in February, Obama, a member of a congregation of the United Church of Christ in Chicago, has had to address assertions that he is a Muslim or that he had received training in Islam in Indonesia, where he lived from ages 6 to 10. While his father was an atheist and his mother did not practice religion, Obama's stepfather did occasionally attend services at a mosque there.
Despite his denials, rumors and e-mails circulating on the Internet continue to allege that Obama (D-Ill.) is a Muslim, a "Muslim plant" in a conspiracy against America, and that, if elected president, he would take the oath of office using a Koran, rather than a Bible, as did Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), the only Muslim in Congress, when he was sworn in earlier this year.
In campaign appearances, Obama regularly mentions his time living and attending school in Indonesia, and the fact that his paternal grandfather, a Kenyan farmer, was a Muslim. Obama invokes these facts as part of his case that he is prepared to handle foreign policy, despite having been in the Senate for only three years, and that he would literally bring a new face to parts of the world where the United States is not popular.
The son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, Obama was born and spent much of his childhood in Hawaii, and he talks more about his multicultural background than he does about the possibility of being the first African American president, in marked contrast to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), who mentions in most of her stump speeches the prospect of her becoming the first woman to serve as president.
"A lot of my knowledge about foreign affairs is not what I just studied in school. It's actually having the knowledge of how ordinary people in these other countries live," he said earlier this month in Clarion, Iowa.
"The day I'm inaugurated, I think this country looks at itself differently, but the world also looks at America differently," he told another Iowa crowd. "Because I've got a grandmother who lives in a little village in Africa without running water or electricity; because I grew up for part of my formative years in Southeast Asia in the largest Muslim country on Earth."
While considerable attention during the campaign has focused on the anti-Mormon feelings aroused by former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (R), polls have also shown rising hostility toward Muslims in politics. It is not clear whether that negative sentiment will affect someone who has lived in a Muslim country but does not practice Islam.

Lt. Mark Daily was the first UCLA alum to be killed in Iraq. (A plaque was recently hung in his honor in front of the Student Activities Center off of Bruin Plaza.) His death touched thousands upon thousands not simply because he was young and it was tragic, but because of the writings he left behind and a story in the LA Times that was e-mailed around the world.
One recipient was Christopher Hitchens, the atheist superstar and author who Daily credited with convincing him of the moral imperative of the war. In this month's Vanity Fair, Hitchens describes feeling ill upon learning this and seeking out Daily's family to clear his conscience.
In his brilliant book What Is History?, Professor E. H. Carr asked about ultimate causation. Take the case of a man who drinks a bit too much, gets behind the wheel of a car with defective brakes, drives it round a blind corner, and hits another man, who is crossing the road to buy cigarettes. Who is the one responsible? The man who had one drink too many, the lax inspector of brakes, the local authorities who didn't straighten out a dangerous bend, or the smoker who chose to dash across the road to satisfy his bad habit? So, was Mark Daily killed by the Ba'thist and bin Ladenist riffraff who place bombs where they will do the most harm? Or by the Rumsfeld doctrine, which sent American soldiers to Iraq in insufficient numbers and with inadequate equipment? Or by the Bush administration, which thought Iraq would be easily pacified? Or by the previous Bush administration, which left Saddam Hussein in power in 1991 and fatally postponed the time of reckoning?
These grand, overarching questions cannot obscure, at least for me, the plain fact that Mark Daily felt himself to be morally committed. I discovered this in his life story and in his surviving writings. Again, not to romanticize him overmuch, but this is the boy who would not let others be bullied in school, who stuck up for his younger siblings, who was briefly a vegetarian and Green Party member because he couldn't stand cruelty to animals or to the environment, a student who loudly defended Native American rights and who challenged a MySpace neo-Nazi in an online debate in which the swastika-displaying antagonist finally admitted that he needed to rethink things. If I give the impression of a slight nerd here I do an injustice. Everything that Mark wrote was imbued with a great spirit of humor and tough-mindedness. Here's an excerpt from his "Why I Joined" statement:
Anyone who knew me before I joined knows that I am quite aware and at times sympathetic to the arguments against the war in Iraq. If you think the only way a person could bring themselves to volunteer for this war is through sheer desperation or blind obedience then consider me the exception (though there are countless like me).⦠Consider that there are 19 year old soldiers from the Midwest who have never touched a college campus or a protest who have done more to uphold the universal legitimacy of representative government and individual rights by placing themselves between Iraqi voting lines and homicidal religious fanatics.

"Just wait. Every few years Rodney King gets in trouble."
That was my first city editor's response when I started working at The Sun in San Bernardino and discovered King was a down-and-out resident of Rialto. I too was a resident of the forlorn industrial town wedged between Muscoy and Fontana, and I wanted to write about my most notable neighbor.
I moved out of Rialto and off that beat, and later left the paper, before King made headlines (aside from this Charlie LeDuff piece). He's back with this one today:
One of Rialto's most well-known residents, Rodney King, was shot sometime around midnight.
San Bernardino Police Lt. Scott Paterson said the details were still fuzzy but that King may have gunshot pellets in his arm and back area. The wounds are not considered life-threatening.
"Early indications are that it very possibly could have been a domestic dispute," Paterson said.
San Bernardino police are still investigating what exactly happened and where, he said.
Rialto Police Sgt. Tim Lane said police logs showed the incident took place at 5th Street and Meridian Avenue in San Bernardino near the border of Rialto and San Bernardino. Lane said King made it back to his house in the 1100 block of East Jackson Street before calling police.

Joseph Dearing, 24, of Dallas says you can tell everything you need to know about a person by what he or she thinks of the Bible.
He got a chance to get some answers during Wednesday's GOP CNN/YouTube debate when his question, No. 20, was asked: Do you believe every word of this book? Specifically, this book that I am holding in my hand, do you believe this book?
Dearing wasn't happy with the responses he got from any of the candidates, not Giuliani or Romney or even his homeboy Ron Paul. He felt they all answered, in this video, around the question.

One of my favorite memories of living in Los Angeles was seeing David Hasselhoff looking for a seat at church. I attend Bel Air Presbyterian, where ever few months it seems Britney Spears is rumored to have been seen and where I once turned around during the greeting and shook hands with a pre-Newlyweds Jessica Simpson. Al from "Step by Step," aka Christine Lakin, also joined my college group on a trip to Mammoth and Ryan Starr—OK, not a celebrity—hung around for a little while.
But, really, it's a little sick to think about church hopping in hopes of another celebrity sighting. Still, in LA there is something for everyone, and Gridskipper has the dish:
1. Christian Science Church of Brentwood
2. Crystal Cathedral (think Evel Knievel)
3. Good Shepherd Catholic Church (beware the Hilton sisters)
4. Sinai Temple (Kirk Douglas, among other Jewish luminaries)
5. St. Monica's Catholic Church (the governor)
6. St. Nicolas Greek Orthodox Church
7. West Angeles Church of God (Denzel and Stevie)
They left a handful of good celebrity-sighting churches and synagogues off this list. But the list was stupid to begin with, so I'm not going to add to it.

Pegged to the ascendancy of The New Atheists and Mark Lilla's "The Stillborn God," the current issue of Commentary looks at "Refighting the Wars of Religion":
The liberal Protestant cave-in to Prussian militarism and German nationalism in turn triggered a messianic or apocalyptic reaction among religious thinkers in the interwar periodâa period deeply marked, Lilla reminds us, by a thoroughgoing disgust with modernity and a new quest for authenticity among many European intellectuals. Some, like the Jewish thinkers Martin Buber and Franz Rosenzweig, and the Christian theologians Karl Barth and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, pulled up on the reins before they came to the political brink. But others soon found a vessel for their fantasies in the man whom Winston Churchill once described as âa maniac of ferocious genius, the repository and expression of the most virulent hatreds that have ever corroded the human breastâCorporal Hitler.â
This whole sorry history, Lilla concludes, âserved to confirm Hobbesâs iron law: messianic theology eventually breeds messianic politics.â The Great Separation, to which we owe our very lives as the beneficiaries of liberal democracy, can never be taken for granted; and neither can the liberal-democratic order itself. Lilla formulates the task before us in terms different from those proposed by the new atheists but tacitly in tune with their agenda:
Rousseau was on to something: we seem to be theotropic creatures, yearning to connect our mundane lives, in some way, to the beyond. That urge can be suppressed, new habits learned, but the challenge of political theology will never fully disappear as long as the urge to connect survives.
So we are heirs to the Great Separation only if we wish to be, if we make a conscious effort to separate basic principles of political legitimacy from divine revelation. . . . This means vigilance, but even more it means self-awareness. We must never forget that there was nothing inevitable about our Great Separation, that it was and remains an experiment.
The article, by George Weigel, also adds another voice to the discussion, that of Remi Brague, whose "The Law of God" was recently published:
Like Mark Lilla, Rémi Brague is concerned about the fragility of our present political arrangements, about the protection of basic human rights, and about the future of the rule of law, democratically deliberated. But he will not concede that an effective defense of the Western democratic project requires the canonization of Thomas Hobbes and his Great Separation. Indeed, he points out that we might well wonder âwhether that separation, which has received so much praise, . . . ever actually took place,â if for no other reason than that the âtwo institutions . . . never formed a unit.â Brague writes:
The political and the religious are two independent sources of authority; they have crossed one anotherâs paths more than once, but they never have merged in spite of efforts to fit them together, sometimes to the advantage of one, sometimes to that of the other. Although there has been cooperation between the two, there has never been confusion about which is which.
And if Brague parts company with Lilla on historical grounds, he also parts company on theological and anthropological grounds. Lilla and Brague have very different ideas of God and His revelation, and very different ideas of us; and in each case, the ideas are inextricably intertwined. Lilla urges unending vigilance in public life against the religious fevers that still inflame and infect our minds. Brague, at the end of The Law of God, suggests the conditions for a more modest approach to the âtheoi-political problemâ:
In the Bible and in Christianity . . . the presence of the divine does not comport an immediate demand for obedience. . . . The divine shows itself, or rather gives itself, before asking anything of us and instead of asking. . . . Although God does indeed expect something of his creatures (that we develop according to our own logic), He does not, in fact, demand anything, or rather, He asks nothing more than His gift already asks, thanks to the simple fact that it is given: [namely,] to be received. In the case of man, that reception does not require anything but humanity.
By widening the historical lens, Brague also reminds us that the Western accomplishment of distinguishing in both theory and practice between religious authority and political authority, sacerdotium and regnum, was in fact a Christian accomplishment, which in turn drew on ancient Jewish convictions about the dangers inherent in the idolatry of the political. Without question, both the European wars of religion and the Enlightenment played crucial roles in creating the modern political forms by which we acknowledge the distinction between religious and political authority. But the arguments for such a distinction had been made long before, and in explicitly theological terms, by Augustine, Aquinas, and many others standing in the biblical tradition.

Brit singer-songwriter uses influences, famous fans to his advantage
With one big hit, a smash album and some high-profile collaborations behind him, Ed Sheeran is as hot these days as the tousled shock of red hair that sits atop his head.
The British singer-songwriter, who occasionally mixes nimble melodies with hip-hop sensibilities, is riding the breakthrough of his debut album, "+," which has gone five-times platinum in his homeland and hit No. 5 on the Billboard 200 across the pond. His single, "The A Team," is nominated for the Grammy Award for Song of the Year as well as a pair of Brit Awards in the U.K., while its follow up, "Lego House," is building its own story.
Ed Sheeran, Rizzle Kicks and Foy Vance perform Thursday, Jan. 24, at the Fillmore Detroit, 2115 Woodward Ave. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are sold out. Call 313-961-5450 or visit www.livenation.com.
On top of that, Sheeran co-wrote boy band One Direction's hit "Little Things," and he teamed with Taylor Swift to duet on "Everything Has Changed" for her "Red" album. Sheeran also will be Swift's opener when her Red Tour kicks off March 13 in Omaha, Neb. (with a May 4 stop at Detroit's Ford Field).
Sheeran, 21, says he's surprised by the magnitude of his success. But not that he's having it.
"It's kind of happened very gradually; I've gone from strength to strength, and there's never been a point where it stalled," he explains. "When I started off, I was getting love for what I was doing — just not a massive amount of it. So, yeah, I though there was potential. I just didn't realize it would kind of get as big as it has."
And Sheeran is keenly aware that one hit, even a big one like "The A Team," does not guarantee a career.
"There's a danger of it having a sell-by date; everything could end tomorrow in this kind of musical climate," he acknowledges. "So I've just got to keep working as hard as I can and being nice to everyone and making music people want to listen to, I guess."
Sheeran started making music at home in Suffolk, England, northeast of London. After listening to a lot of Van Morrison music his parents played in the car during drives to London, Sheeran learned to play guitar and was at first playing electric heroics, "doing covers of, like, Eric Clapton and Guns N' Roses and very guitar-driven people." But when he was 11 he caught a show by Irish troubadour Damien Rice that proved pivotal. Continued...
"I saw him in a very, very small venue in Dublin, and that was the first time I'd seen anyone like that perform really, really up-close and personal," Sheeran recalls. "He just captured the whole audience for two hours and didn't let them go. It was an amazing experience, and I was like, 'Wow, maybe I should try writing songs' and kind of picked up an acoustic guitar and did that whole thing."
After that epiphany, Sheeran says he "never really had a Plan B for his life." He started writing songs in high school and released the first of his dozen EPs in 2005. He moved to London in 2008, when he was 17, working as a guitar tech for the duo Nizlopi before striking out on his own. He was such a driven live performer than in 2009 he played 312 shows. And his pop/hip-hop hybrid became enough of a crossover sensation that rapper Example took Sheeran on tour. Jamie Foxx, after seeing Sheeran perform at his Los Angeles club The Foxxhole, offered him free use of his Hollywood home and recording studio.
"I've always been a fan of different styles of music, but I found the main styles I was listening to were kind of hip-hop and acoustic singer-songwriter music, listening to people like Eminem and Jay-Z and to people like Damien Rice and David Gray," Sheeran says. So I guess the blend came from lots of influences from those genres."
Sheeran signed a major-label deal in early 2011 and played "The A Team" just four months later on the popular TV show "Later ... with Jools Holland." The song was written two years prior, when the 18-year-old Sheeran was volunteering at a homeless shelter. "I wrote it about one of the women I met there," who was a crack addict, he notes. "It was kind of based on her story and her life and everything that happened to her.
"Being 18 I was kind of naive at the time. I didn't realize how dark some of the elements of London can be."
Not exactly slam-dunk hit material, is it? "No — especially in America," Sheeran agrees. "I never expected it to take off the way it has there. I remember going to radio in America and people being very skeptical about whether they could play it or not because of the subject matter, but it connected."
"The A Team" wound up hitting the Top 10 in 10 countries, and No. 1 in Britain.
The U.S. reception, meanwhile, is the source of great optimism for Sheeran and his camp.
"I feel like if everything keeps going the way it is, it's going to be bigger in American than it is anywhere else in the world," he explains. "The stage I'm at now in America, both livewise and record saleswise ... is far greater than it was in the rest of the world after having one single. I'm selling out, like, 6,000- 9,000-capacity rooms with one single, where in England I've only just reached that point with a five-times platinum (album).
"So, yeah, it's very interesting." Continued...
Sheeran's collaborations — including the 2012 EP "The Slumdon Bridge" with Alabama rapper Yelawolf — haven't hurt, either. The One Direction association came from meeting Harry Styles before there was even a group.
"When they got together, (Styles) said, 'Oh, we're looking for songs for our album, and I know that you write songs. If you could give us a song, that'd be great,' " Sheeran remembers. "So I gave them a tune for their first record which ended up going down quite well, and they asked for songs for their second record and I gave them two, and ('Little Things') hit No. 1 in the U.K."
Taylor Swift, meanwhile, identified herself as a fan by writing some of Sheeran's lyrics on her arm during a concert in Australia. Learning about it from one of his fans, Sheeran "put it out there that I really respect her and I'm a fan of Taylor's — not just her work but her ethics and that she writes her hits herself and she's probably the only woman in her position in the industry who writes 100 percent of her hits. It's a very cool thing."
Sheeran wound up meeting Swift's manager at one of his shows in Nashville, and the two connected to work on "Everything Has Changed" and two other songs that remain unreleased for now. "I hope they do something good with them," he says.
More headlining dates and then the Swift tour lay ahead for Sheeran, but that's not stopping him from homing in on his second album. Sheeran says he has "around 26 songs" already in hand, and he plans to write and record into the fall, with plans to release it in February 2014.
The record's definitely on its way," says Sheeran, who despite plenty of material between "+" and his many EPs is excited about adding to his catalog. "Y'know, most of the first record was written when I was 17, 18 at the time, and I'm 21 now. I've definitely evolved in the way I write songs and the way I perform, the whole mindspace. So it's just going to be a little more developed, I think."

Downloading these wallpapers to your computer could cause you to be less productive but at least you will be entertained. These women are ridiculously hot and love showing off their tight little bodies and beautiful smiles.

The Sexiest Wallpaper Collection Ever: Part 10 (65 pics)
There is no way any of you Asian admirers are going to leave this post without a huge smile spread across your face because these girls are hot. Regardless of if they are Japanese, Chinese or Vietnamese these chicks are going to blow your mind with their sexiness.
Thankfully these ladies are feeling particularly frisky and free, which has led them to shed their bras and let their bouncing boobies hang. From nipples poking through fabric to tons of cleavage these women are not playing around when it comes to going braless.
Wow, these ladies are packing some serious fun bags and are definitely not afraid to show them off to the world. Half of their boobs are showing underneath their tight half shirts and we are surely glad they decided to wear those skimpy outfits.
This Hawaiian chick won the Miss Hawaiian Tropic title back in 2008 and has been showing off her amazing body ever since. These various bikini photos will show you the kind of amazing body this big-breasted woman has and all of her lovely curves.
The super famous entertainer was photographed in Miami as she hung out poolside in her very small black bikini. If you like pale girls with large breasts, big booties, and loads of cash then Perry is going to be right up your alley.
Homemade firearms or zip guns are most often used by criminals and rebels. Basically, all you need to make such a weapon is a crude barrel, a chamber and a handle.
The gorgeous singer was spotted lounging on some sort of raft in Eze-Sur Mer with her booty pointed at the camera and a drink in her hand. She seems to be having a relaxing time on the water as she kicks it with friends and soaks in the atmosphere.
This partially paralyzed man from Wisconsin is lucky to stay alive. Firefighters saved him from the balcony of his burning house just in time before the flames engulfed everything.
This British model has been modeling for nearly a decade now but her fine butt and big boobs never get old to look at. These FHM photos illustrate just how smoking hot this little vixen is as her boobs practically spill out of her top and her booty is in full view.

The man who can do it all!
Ian Terence Botham, arguably England's most famous cricketer and one of the great all-rounders the game has seen, was born on 24 November 1955 in Heswall, Cheshire. While a controversial player both on and off the field at times, Botham also held a number of Test cricket records, and still holds the record for the highest number of wickets taken by an England bowler (383). He also has 14 Test centuries to his name; and also took 145 wickets and scored 2113 runs in ODIs. In March 1980, Botham played for Scunthorpe United, where he played as a centre half and made 11 appearances in the Football League. Botham was part of the trio of Sir Viv Richards and Joel Garner, who were central to Somerset's golden age in the early 1980s. Botham, who is now a TV commentator with Sky, was knighted in 2007. One of the main highlights of his Test career was the 1981 Ashes Tour, which was known as Botham's Ashes for his stellar show. He is also a prodigious fundraiser for charitable causes, undertaking long-distance charity walks and doing untold work for leukaemia research.

"Your #1 source for information about how to compost."
HOW TO COMPOST An Overview Getting Started Making Decisions Systems (Methods) Making Compost What a Good Pile Needs What You Need Extras & Additives What to Use - or Not! Building the Pile Maintenance When is it Finished? Troubleshooting Outdoor Digesters Anaerobic Aerobic Indoor Methods Vermicomposting (Worms) Bokashi Using Compost Just Do It Composting Science Physics Chemistry Biology Soil Science More Than Just Dirt Garden Soil Myth Busting Environmental Issues Garbage Gripes Water & Soil Remediation Nutrient Pollution Harmful Chemicals A Few Concerns Pathogens Pesticides Heavy Metals What You Can Do Additional Resources |
Welcome to COMPOSTERconnection.com, a comprehensive source of information on the making and using of compost. The Connection provides first-time composters with everything they need to know to get started and be successful. Experienced composters will find new techniques and detailed information on the practice and science of composting. Whether you're a serious gardener with a desire for large quantities of rich, soil-enhancing compost, or a homeowner who wants to keep your yard and kitchen scraps from the landfill by turning them into nature's best soil amendment, COMPOSTERconnection.com is the place for all things compost. Just getting started? Go to the "Making Compost" section listed at left for the basics. Ready to jump in? Visit Planet Natural for our complete line of composting bins and tumblers, tools and other composting supplies. Composting:In the Bin, the Garden, and the EnvironmentWhen I started composting several years ago, I was like a lot of gardeners: I knew that compost was good for my garden, but I had no idea why.As I began research for this article, my questions merely multiplied. Some of the claims made about compost seemed too good to be true and others made no sense at all. How could compost fight plant diseases? What did it mean to say, as so many sources do, that compost "buffered" or "balanced" soil pH levels? If compost did bind nutrients in the soil, how did it do so? Lots of sources list "adds beneficial micro-organisms" under compost benefits; did it really do this, and if so, what are the benefits? And then there were the practical questions. Many sources said to layer ingredients for a pile -- why? What was the simplest bin for the manually un-dexterous (me) that would still look good? Was there any way to get out of turning a pile? (If so, I wanted to know about it.) What advantage was there to hot composting, other than speed? Some sources said a hot pile would kill weed seeds; others said to keep weed seeds out of the pile. How hot, then, did a pile have to be, and for how long, in order to kill seeds? What about pathogens? Oh, and was it possible to add too much compost to soil? In writing this article, therefore, I wanted to cover the nuts and bolts of composting as thoroughly as possible, but I also wanted to answer those questions about how compost does what it does, which meant delving into compost physics, chemistry, biology, and soil science. For those who share my insatiable curiosity, I've included most of the scientific information I came across, but in deference to those who want to get started on a pile without wading through all kinds of background information, the science is largely confined to its own sections. As it turns out, all those claims about what garden compost can achieve are true. Compost suppresses soil-borne diseases? True. Compost prevents nutrients from leaching out of soil? Also true. So are the claims about beneficial micro-organisms, for which I feel a new and probably unrequited affection. And the claims about "balancing" soil pH, which turns out to mean that compost will help raise pH if it's low and lower it if it's high. Not to mention the claims that it improves water retention in sandy soil and water drainage in clay soils. And that's just the start.

One of the best gifts you can give your child—and yourself—is a good night's sleep! This memory foam mattress does just that. It molds perfectly to your child's body, providing healthy support and personalized comfort, while encouraging proper spinal alignment. And while some memory foam gets too warm, this advanced open cell foam actually keeps kids cooler! When the foam is compressed by your child's weight, the air in its open cells is released, dispersing body heat and maximizing air flow. Hypoallergenic.

Laryngitis | |
Season One, Episode Eighteen | |
First Aired | May 11, 2010 |
Episode Guide | |
previous "Bad Reputation" | next "Dream On" |
Laryngitis is the eighteenth episode of Glee's first season, and the eighteenth episode overall. It premiered on May 11, 2010.
When a sore throat affects Rachel's singing voice, she goes into panic mode and Finn takes her to the doctor in order to find out what's wrong with her, not without trying to show Rachel how much he still really likes her. Meanwhile, Kurt tries to change his persona to impress his father, and Puck makes a strategic move to elevate his social status by dating Mercedes after his mohawk is cut off.
The episode was directed by Alfonso-Gomez Rejon and written by Ryan Murphy.
Contents |
In the beginning of the episode, Puck's mother notices a mole on his head and he is subsequently forced to have his mohawk shaved off. He discovers he is no longer considered a credible bully, and also realizes that Mercedes has become popular since joining the Cheerios. He resolves to date her to seem popular again.
Mercedes initially attempts to dissuade him, but after singing a duet of The Lady Is a Tramp, she warms up to him. Puck's former girlfriend Santana is jealous, and she and Mercedes sing The Boy Is Mine. When Mercedes realizes that Puck has reverted to being a bully, she concludes that being a Cheerio isn't who she is, breaks up with him, and resigns from the squad.Rachel suffers from tonsillitis and is afraid to have surgery, believing that her voice is her only asset. Finn, who accompanies her to her doctor's appointment, tells her, "There's like, so many awesome things about you." When she consults him on whether to have the surgery, he sarcastically says "Why don't you ask your boyfriend. Oh wait... you can't because he's not here," but he also says, "When are you going to realize that he's not into you like I am?" He tries to tell her that he loves her more than Jesse, but she doesn't listen. He then expresses his feelings by singing Jessie's Girl.
To put her fear into perspective, Finn introduces her to his friend Sean, who was paralyzed from the neck down during a football game. Rachel recovers and offers to give Sean singing lessons.
Kurt is jealous of the time his father, Burt, is spending with Finn, and attempts to emulate Burt's personality. He takes the glee club's "Voice" assignment as an opportunity to change how he is perceived. He sings John Mellencamp's Pink Houses during rehearsal. Brittany thinks the performance was "hot" and asks if the new, straight Kurt would like to "tap this;" Kurt is the only boy in school she hasn't made out with, and a perfect record (of making out with all the boys at the school) is important to her. Later, as they are making out on the couch, Kurt asking Brittany what boys' lips taste like? Burt walks in on them, and although he is confused by his son's change in attitude, he tries to assure Kurt that he will love him no matter who he chooses to be.
Frustrated and hurt that Burt is continuing to spend time with Finn, Kurt reverts to his former personality and sings Rose's Turn. Burt overhears his performance and reassures Kurt that, despite the difficulties, he loves him and wants him to be himself.
