Idle Cure
Idle Cure was an arena rock band from Long Beach, California. The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music calls their sound "the best example of cloning a sound for Christian markets", likening it to that of Def Leppard's Pyromania. They targeted a youthful audience, distinguished by overtly evangelical religious lyrics.
CCM magazine reported that all original members of the band had been in mainstream bands prior to the formation of Idle Cure. Their first four albums have been reissued as compilations by KMG Records.

Idle
Idle (idling) is a term which generally refers to a lack of motion and/or energy.
Uses
In describing a person or machine, idle means the act of nothing or no work (for example: "John Smith is an idle person"). This is a person who spends his days doing nothing could be said to be "idly passing his days." (For example: Mary has been idle on her instant messenger account for hours.) A computer processor or communication circuit is described as idle when it is not being used by any program, application or message. Similarly, an engine of an automobile may be described as idle when it is running only to sustain its running (not doing any useful work), this is also called the tickover (see idle).
Idleness as dependent upon cultural norms
Typically, when one describes a machine as idle, it is an objective statement regarding its current state. However, when used to describe a person, idle typically carries a negative connotation, with the assumption that the person is wasting their time by doing nothing of value.
BatteryMAX (idle detection)
BatteryMAX is an Idle Detection System used for computer power management developed at Digital Research, Inc.'s European Development Centre (EDC) in Hungerford, UK. It was invented by British borne engineers Roger Gross and John Constant in August 1989 and was first released with DR DOS 5.0. It was created to address the new genre of portable personal computers (lap-tops) which ran from battery power. As such, it was also an integral part of Novell's PalmDOS 1.0 operating system tailored for early palmtops in 1992.
Description
Power saving in laptop computers traditionally relied on hardware inactivity timers to determine whether a computer was idle. It would typically take several minutes before the computer could identify idle behavior and switch to a lower power consumption state. By monitoring software applications from within the operating system, BatteryMAX is able to reduce the time taken to detect idle behavior from minutes to microseconds. Moreover it can switch power states around 20 times a second between a user's keystrokes. The technique was named Dynamic Idle Detection and includes halting, or stopping the CPU for periods of just a few microseconds until a hardware event occurs to restart it.

Cure
A cure is the end of a medical condition; the substance or procedure that ends the medical condition, such as a medication, a surgical operation, a change in lifestyle, or even a philosophical mindset that helps end a person's sufferings. It may also refer to the state of being healed, or cured.
A remission is a temporary end to the medical signs and symptoms of an incurable disease. A disease is said to be incurable if there is always a chance of the patient relapsing, no matter how long the patient has been in remission.
The proportion of people with a disease that are cured by a given treatment, called the cure fraction or cure rate, is determined by comparing disease-free survival of treated people against a matched control group that never had the disease.
Another way of determining the cure fraction and/or "cure time" is by measuring when the hazard rate in a diseased group of individuals returns to the hazard rate measured in the general population.
Inherent in the idea of a cure is the permanent end to the specific instance of the disease. When a person has the common cold, and then recovers from it, the person is said to be cured, even though the person might someday catch another cold. Conversely, a person that has successfully managed a disease, such as diabetes mellitus, so that it produces no undesirable symptoms for the moment, but without actually permanently ending it, is not cured.
Pastoral care
Pastoral care is an ancient model of emotional and spiritual support that can be found in all cultures and traditions.
Definition of pastoral role
Modern context
Historically Christian in its origins, the pastoral-care movement has expanded to embrace many different faiths.
In Christianity
The Bible does not explicitly define the role of a pastor, but does associate it with teaching. Pastoral care involves shepherding the flock.
Cure of souls
In some denominations of Christianity, the cure of souls (Latin: cura animarum), an archaic translation which is better rendered today as "care of souls" is the exercise by priests of their office. This typically embraces instruction, by sermons, admonitions and administration of sacraments, to the congregation over which they have authority from the church. In countries where the Roman Catholic Church acted as the national church, the "cure" was not only over a congregation or congregations, but over a district. The assignment of a priest to a district subdividing a diocese was a process begun in the 4th century AD. The term parish as applied to this district comes from the Greek word for district, παρоικία.

Human Solution
by: Idle CureEvery heart is born with a hunger
Burning with the need to know why
Mornin' till the evenin' we waver
in between the truth and the lie
Swayed by the breath of emotion
enslaved in the depth of the mind
we choose the course that fills our deep intentions
leaving the cross so far behind
then we lift our glasses to the sky
gonna party till the day we die
It's a human - human... solution
love can't satisfy
human - human... solution
reachin' for the sky
It's a human - human... solution
much to our demise
hearts are open to a lie...
Everyone desires a savior
some will trade it all for a lie
thinking God will bend to our behavior
twisting up the rules to let it slide
Then we lift...
It's a human - human... solution
love can't satisfy
human - human... solution
reachin' for the sky
It's a human - human... solution
much to our demise
hearts are open to a lie...
You claim to know our God
but your actions deny him
some claim to hear his voice
but they leave him no choice
all hope is not in vain
if we call upon His name
we reap the seeds we sow
