RT.com - Satanic rapists on trial
Two young people are being tried in Russia for organizing a Satan-worshiping sect. Their adepts were subjected to abuse during gatherings, while some girls, including those below the age of consent, were molested.
The sect named “Nobilis Ordo Diaboli” – or the “Noble Order of the Devil” – was engaged in the secret worshiping of Satan in the republic of Mordovia in central Russia since 2003. It was organized by medical student Aleksandr Kazakov, 24, and had up to 75 adepts over the years, investigators say.

Michael Bierut: 5 Secrets from 86 Notebooks
About this presentation
Renowned graphic designer Michael Bierut claims that he's not creative. Instead, he likens his job to that of a doctor who tends to patients – "the sicker, the better." Digging into the 86 notebooks he's kept over the course of his career, Bierut walks us through 5 projects – from original conception to final execution – extracting a handful of simple lessons (e.g. the problem contains the solution; don't avoid the obvious) at the foundation of brilliant design solutions.
About Michael Bierut
Prior to joining Pentagram in 1990 as a partner in the firm's New York office, Michael Bierut worked for ten years at Vignelli Associates, ultimately as vice president of graphic design. His clients at Pentagram have included The New York Times, Saks Fifth Avenue, The Council of Fashion Designers of America, Harley-Davidson, The Minnesota Children's Museum, The William Jefferson Clinton Foundation, Mohawk Paper Mills, the New York Jets, Princeton University, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and the Morgan Library and Museum.
He has won hundreds of design awards and his work is represented in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Montreal. His commentaries about graphic design in everyday life have been heard nationally on the Public Radio International program "Studio 360" and his appearance in Helvetica: A Documentary Film is considered by many that movie's funniest moment. Michael is a co-founder of the weblog DesignObserver.com, and his book 79 Short Essays on Design was published in 2007 by Princeton Architectural Press.

LADY ANTEBELLUM-- I RUN TO YOU W/LYRICS
Lyrics:
THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS!
I run from hate
I run from prejudice
I run from pessimists
But I run too late
I run my life
Or is it running me
Run from my past
I run too fast
Or too slow it seems
When lies become the truth
That's when I run to you
Chorus
This world keeps spinning faster
Into a new disaster so I run to you
I run to you baby
And when it all starts coming undone
Baby you're the only one I run to
I run to you
We run on fumes
Your life and mine
Like the sands of time
Slippin' right on through
And our love's the only truth
That's why I run to you
Repeat Chorus X 2

"Perfect Day" by Lady Antebellum with lyrics
Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/CountryMusic57
Lyrics
Went walking through town just the other day
With nothing much to do
As the sun came breaking down through the clouds
Id never seen the sky so blue
I saw a Cajun man with a red guitar
Singing on the side of the street
I threw a handful of change in his beat-up case
And said play me a country beat
And it sounded like
Met up with some friends outside of town
They were headed towards the lake
I hopped into the back of a jacked up Jeep
Felt the wind upon my face
We got to the spot and the sun was hot
Everybody was feeling fine
So when we jumped on in for a mid-day swim
And we lost all track of time
Chorus
It was a perfect day
What Id give if I could find a way to stay
Lost in this moment now
Aint worried about tomorrow
When youre busy living in a perfect day
As the moon came out and the fire burned
Everybody was singing along
To some Ramblin Man, a little Curtis Lowe
And all them feel good songs
We danced all night without a care
No place wed rather be
Cause these are the days well talk about
When we lived so wild and free
Repeat Chorus
We were sitting in the sand as he grabbed my hand
Then he leaned in for a kiss
I couldnt help but think with the stars above
It dont get much better than this
Its a perfect day
What Id give if I could find a way to stay
Lost in this moment now
Aint worried about tomorrow
When youre busy living
Feels like dreaming
Slowly drifting through this perfect day

"SECRET OF HAPPINESS: LOW EXPECTATION", ACCORDING TO BARRY SCHWARTZ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO6XEQIsCoM&feature=channel
Listen to him from 15.10 min (by click on the 15.10 point in the bar or sliding the white button to 15.10 min) in the video.
taken from ted.com
Why you should listen to him:
In his 2004 book The Paradox of Choice , Barry Schwartz tackles one of the great mysteries of modern life: Why is it that societies of great abundance — where individuals are offered more freedom and choice (personal, professional, material) than ever before — are now witnessing a near-epidemic of depression? Conventional wisdom tells us that greater choice is for the greater good, but Schwartz argues the opposite: He makes a compelling case that the abundance of choice in today's western world is actually making us miserable.
Infinite choice is paralyzing, Schwartz argues, and exhausting to the human psyche. It leads us to set unreasonably high expectations, question our choices before we even make them and blame our failures entirely on ourselves. His relatable examples, from consumer products (jeans, TVs, salad dressings) to lifestyle choices (where to live, what job to take, who and when to marry), underscore this central point: Too much choice undermines happiness.
Schwartz's previous research has addressed morality, decision-making and the varied inter-relationships between science and society. Before Paradox he published The Costs of Living, which traces the impact of free-market thinking on the explosion of consumerism -- and the effect of the new capitalism on social and cultural institutions that once operated above the market, such as medicine, sports, and the law.
Both books level serious criticism of modern western society, illuminating the under-reported psychological plagues of our time. But they also offer concrete ideas on addressing the problems, from a personal and societal level.
"Whether choosing a health-care plan, choosing a college class or even buying a pair of jeans, Schwartz shows that a bewildering array of choices floods our exhausted brains, ultimately restricting instead of freeing us." Publisher's Weekly
