75% of Photos on Facebook are of Drunk People
The holiday season is well under way and many a work Christmas party is being had, with the inevitable drunken adventures that ensue.
A new study suggests however that the British are drunk all year round, at least if you go by their Facebook profiles.
The study, conducted by MyMemory, suggests that as many as 76% of all photos posted on Facebook are taken when the people in them are either drunk or on the way to being so. 76%!!

“We’re all guilty of going out and having a good time, but nowadays the photos inevitably catch up with us online, so we wanted to look at how much these photos dominate our presence on social media sites,” says Rebecca Huggler, co-founder of MyMemory, which conducted the study.
What’s quite scary is that around 25% of these people also had no privacy settings on their Facebook account, so their drunken photos are open for the whole world to see. That’s colleagues, employers, random Facebook stalkers, the works.
Is this a global thing? Do other countries have quite the need to get drunk before they photograph themselves for Facebook, or is it purely a British thing?

Su Jok Therapy
When we have a feeling in our hearts, we are creating electrical and magnetic waves in our bodies that extend beyond us into the world around us. Those waves have the ability to extend many, many kilometers beyond our bodies.
When many hearts come together and commit to just one feeling, the result can be absolutely phenomenal. The “technology” of curing disease through “feeling” that an illness has already been healed has been shown to completely eradicate disease within minutes.
The following video demonstrates how this technique is being applied in China. Western Doctors, like yours, refuse to accept the power of this healing technology.

Morcheeba
One of my all-time favorite bands is Morcheeba. If you’ve never experienced their sound and vibe, now is a great time to venture deep into their collection of releases and add them to your own personal favorites list. I can not recommend a band more highly. Their “feel good” sound is a must addition to any music collection.
The band has posted a special Christmas greeting on their website:
Happy Xmas from Morcheeba!
It’s been a fantastic year for us – we’ve toured all over the world, played to thousands of our fans and had loads of fun doing it!
Thank you to everyone who has joined us on our musical journey in 2011.
We’re looking forward to enjoying the holiday period with our families and friends and we wish you the same seasonal joy . . . so we leave you with some exciting news for 2012. Morcheeba are back in the studio writing and recording a new album . . . stay tuned!
Merry Christmas everyone!

I’m sharing one of their videos, to help you get your feet wet. Enjoy!

Seal in Action
The follow-up to Seal’s 2008 covers album “Soul” is set to release in the United States late January, 2012. Entitled “Soul 2″, the new album containing cover songs of old classics was recently reviewed by Caroline Sullivan of the guardian.co.uk.:

“Soul 2″ finds Seal treading on hallowed ground: the tracklisting includes cornerstones of American popular music such as What’s Going On and Let’s Stay Together.
His voice and interpretive skills are such, though, that most tracks fit him like a glove, to the point where, on Rose Royce’s Wishing on a Star, his oak-aged vocal seems a better fit for the remorseful lyric than original singer Gwen Dickey’s.
He grew up with these 1970s hits, and evidently reveres them, but isn’t cowed by them – save for Let’s Stay Together, which is sung in a higher key than normal, precisely imitating Al Green.
If Seal’s performances are largely unimpeachable, producers David Foster and Trevor Horn could have shaken up the arrangements more. Most follow the original templates– only on Bill Withers’s Lean on Me, where warm keyboard washes replace the original’s gospel handclaps, do they extend themselves.
