Vedrinski selected by Wine Spectator as one of top Italian chefs for cover story
Chef Ken Vedrinski is having a banner year and it is only August. Accolades have been strong for the recent opening of his oceanfront restaurant, Coda del Pesce. This includes the recent announcement that Vedrinski has been named one of Wine Spectator magazine's top Italian chefs in America for its September issue cover story. Wine Spectator selected six of the country's best chefs to highlight in the issue and each chef has a large profile and recipe in the issue. Vedrinski is in good company as he joins Michael White (Marea, New York), Dena Marino (MC Kitchen, Miami), Celestino Drago (Drago Centro, Los Angeles), Jonathan Benno (Lincoln Ristorante, New York) and Matthew Accarrino (SPQR, San Francisco) for the feature.
The magazine sent a writer and photographer to Charleston to capture Vedrinski in his new place and to learn more about the background of this accomplished chef. The September issue hits the newsstands soon.
"This is one of my greatest culinary accomplishments to date," stated Chef Ken Vedrinski. "Wine Spectator is such a highly regarding publication and they rarely do cover articles on restaurants. To be part of it and to be in the mix with these other world-renowned chefs means a lot. We are also extremely proud of our Italian focused food and wine program and thrilled that it was recognized by the industry's leading publication."
One of the most acclaimed and accomplished chefs in Charleston, Vedrinski is the chef and owner of Trattoria Lucca in downtown and the newly opened Coda del Pesce, the city's first Italian inspired seafood restaurant overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. He has been on the long list for the James Beard Awards in the Southeast Chef category for three years and his restaurants have been selected as Esquire's Best New Restaurant and Best Italian Restaurant by Travel & Leisure.

It's important to note that dream walking is very physically demanding. I slept nine hours the night of my eskimo dream. I awoke freezing in an 85 degree apartment and felt as if I had only slept for an hour. It is very similar to being awake.

Dream walking was something a dear friend of mine showed me how to do, and she even wrote a thesis paper on it for college psychology. I thought all this travel stuff was absolute hokum until the following story occurred...
I worked at a restaurant with this friend who sensed I had some abilities and told me she'd teach me how to dream travel. I said, "Oh, uh, ok sure. What do I have to do?" and she replied, "Nothing, I'll come get you tonight." Suffice to say I was EXTREMELY skeptical about the whole occurrence. I went to bed as normal and started to dream. I remember dreaming about walking in a state park I visited frequently. Suddenly, it became very hard to walk and I dreamt I was walking through very thick Georgia red mud. When I looked at my feet, I was somehow wearing a set of snowshoes. I had a very real dream where I was an Eskimo. I remember being attacked by a killer whale and saved by a polar bear. I caught a huge red and pinkish colored fish which I brought back to my igloo on a dogsled and presented it to my wife who cooked it for dinner.
At the time I was not married, nor have I ever visited any polar region of the world. I was later told that this kind of dream walking is a totemic voyage where you find your totem animal. Mine was obviously the polar bear. Another interesting thing to note is that my dream wife was the friend I mentioned earlier. I awoke freezing and exhausted the next morning in a 90 degree apartment. When I went to work later in the day, I immediately ran to my friend and said I have to tell you about this dream I had last night. She stopped me and proceeded to tell me all the details of my dream before I ever opened my mouth. I looked at her completely dumbfounded and said, "How do you know all that?" She calmly replied, "I was there with you the whole time. Who do you think came and took you there?" Suffice to say, my disbelief in her abilities was completely shattered.
Dream walking, very simply stated, is the ability to convey messages, experiences, or adventures with people you know fairly well. It is important to have a common place that you both frequent in the waking world. This is where you go to meet them while you dream, like the state park in my dream. Call their name in the dream and imagine them there with you. This will summon them to your dream. Then you imagine the dream or let your creativity run wild making the dream happen through force of will. You can create any reality you desire in the dream state. Both of you should awaken with shared knowledge of the things which transpired in the dream world. It is VERY exhausting and you will awaken feeling as though you've not slept.
Just as an experiment I tried to do it last week to get in touch with a friend whose phone number I had lost in a phone mishap. She called me the next day. I use this ability to stay in touch with those I care about because of how exhausting it is. If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to answer them, but I'm not quite the expert my friend is on the subject.

Astral projection is easy and I have done it many a time. There are several methods to help you get started, from simple concentration on a location, to using crystals to aid you in the journey (sugilite has worked for me but I also recommend celestite, iolite, moldavite, and tektite). Good luck and happy astral traveling!

When I read this I was really surprised because I never thought it'd be that easy and never realized I was doing it all this time.

Not sure if any of that is connected to this topic. I'm going to read up on it though and see what I can do.

Some beilive the "human conciousness" resides outside the human body. This is partially supported by people in Near Death Experiences who are able to see their body,"from above", and recall vivid details, while they were unconcious or "clinically dead".
The human brain may be nothing more than a complex "quantum entanglement based" bioelectronic interface board. The "real" conciousness/intellect/soul lies elsewhere. Physicist Roger Penrose discussed this in the 1960's.
Certainly food for thought!

Personally I have never encountered any problems while astral projecting, nor have I talked to anyone that has?
An arguement put forword is that Astral projection is all in the mind and it is the mind that creates the scenario whilst the body is in a trance

2000The focus of this project is to analyse the setting of the novel, The English Patient through the integrated curriculum approach of Literature, Geography and History. As such, the setting of the desert is no longer just a stage for the events to take place but seen as a motif that represents the inner turmoil of the characters. Its destitution and heart of tumult beneath its calm and parched exterior seems also to burrow itself deep into the natures of its character prisoners. The desert is that force that tugs and pulls at the characters making them behave in ways that they themselves cannot explain. For this purpose, this project gives a very detailed account of the story of The English Patient as well as a factual write-up on the formation and features of the desert, the behaviour of the dust storms and the survival of the inhabitants of the desert. Also included is the fascinating factual account of The Cave of Swimmers and a time-line of World War II with a write-up of the Battle of El Alamein. In the area of Literature, there is a brief write-up on the characters, themes and plot. Also included are three literary critical essays on the novel. A special feature of this project is the Adventure Game section. By playing the role of Almasy, the player has to make decisions in order to survive in the desert. A wrong decision would endanger the expedition and bring about death. About this site
