L.G. Fuad
"L.G. Fuad" (abbreviation of "Let's Get Fucked Up and Die") is a song by American rock band Motion City Soundtrack, released in 2006 as the third and final single from the group's second studio album, ''Commit This to Memory'' (2005). Background "L.G. FUAD"—which stands for "Let's Get Fucked Up and Die"—grew out of a night on Motion City Soundtrack's 2003 UK tour with the All-American Rejects, in which the latter band's merchandise manager was severely inebriated. He stood on the merchandise stand and shouted what became the song's refrain. All involved found great humor in the "mantra", which went on to be printed on business cards as a joke. The song takes from the Promise Ring's song "Forget Me" and its lyrical mention of forget-me-nots and marigolds. The song was recorded at Seedy Underbelly Studios, a suburban home converted into a studio in the city's Valley Village region. The song's title, and the non-capitalization of "Fuad", is a reference to L.L.Bean: "The band mig ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Calendula Officinalis
''Calendula officinalis'', the pot marigold, common marigold, ruddles, Mary's gold or Scotch marigold, is a flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. It is probably native to southern Europe, though its long history of cultivation makes its precise origin unknown, and it may possibly be of garden origin. It is also widely naturalised farther north in Europe (as far as southern England) and elsewhere in warm temperate regions of the world.''The New RHS Dictionary of Gardening'' 1: 462.Interactive Flora of NW Europe: ''Calendula officinalis'' eti.uva.nl The Latin '' |
Epitaph Records Singles
An epitaph (; ) is a short text honoring a deceased person. Strictly speaking, it refers to text that is inscribed on a tombstone or plaque, but it may also be used in a figurative sense. Some epitaphs are specified by the person themselves before their death, while others are chosen by those responsible for the burial. An epitaph may be written in prose or in poem verse. Most epitaphs are brief records of the family, and perhaps the career, of the deceased, often with a common expression of love or respect—for example, "beloved father of ..."—but others are more ambitious. From the Renaissance to the 19th century in Western culture, epitaphs for notable people became increasingly lengthy and pompous descriptions of their family origins, career, virtues and immediate family, often in Latin. Notably, the Laudatio Turiae, the longest known Ancient Roman epitaph, exceeds almost all of these at 180 lines; it celebrates the virtues of an honored wife, probably of a consul. So ...

In physics, motion is the phenomenon in which an object changes its position with respect to time. Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed and frame of reference to an observer and measuring the change in position of the body relative to that frame with change in time. The branch of physics describing the motion of objects without reference to its cause is called kinematics, while the branch studying forces and their effect on motion is called dynamics. If an object is not changing relative to a given frame of reference, the object is said to be ''at rest'', ''motionless'', ''immobile'', '' stationary'', or to have a constant or time-invariant position with reference to its surroundings. Modern physics holds that, as there is no absolute frame of reference, Newton's concept of ''absolute motion'' cannot be determined. As such, everything in the universe can be considered to be in motion. Motion applies to various phy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
