According to Neville Green, who has written (2011) a comprehensive history of Forrest River Mission, it was run at first by the Perth Diocesan Board of Missions (p.8) and in the 1920s (p.43) by the Australian Board of Missions who, from the 1920s received a government subsidy for housing children. Children were sent from the Fitzroy Crossing district and east to the Northern Territory border. On 1 June 1955 (p.147), the Australian Board of Missions transferred responsibility to the Anglican Diocese of Perth, which set up a Forrest River Committee. In 1965 an advisory committee was set up in the Kimberley.
Forrest River Mission was established by an Anglican missionary, Rev. Gribble, in 1913. A boys' dormitory was built in 1914 and a girls' dormitory in 1915. (Green, 2011 p.39). There was a school at the mission from the outset. Children went to school in the morning and worked around the mission in the afternoons. The school was closed during harvest time. Green reports (p.42) that the dormitories were padlocked, preventing children interacting with family and others at the mission.
Forrest River Mission (Green, p.13) was run with strict rules and institutional conventions that included defined hours of 'rising, eating, working, praying and sleeping' and clothing issued by the mission. Children were separated from their parents and boys and girls were kept apart. These practices continued 'well beyond the Second World War' according to Green who observed that children brought up on the mission were 'often ill-prepared for mainstream society'. Green's research (p.83) found that it was only on Christmas Day that boys were allowed to sit with their parents and spend the day with them. Girls were allowed to leave their dormitories, too, but unlike the boys they had to ask permission from staff to leave the dormitory and talk to family and others.
Reflecting on the loss of traditional culture, Green (p.19) writes that children were regularly baptised and in the early days they could keep their Aboriginal name as a second name but by 1948, only one name (a European name) was allowed. Until 1928, girls were married to boys chosen by Rev. Gribble when a girl reached puberty. This horrified an observer in 1928 (p.24) as the young couple had no real knowledge of each other or choice in the marriage, which were often contrary to traditional marriage rules, and certainly disregarded them. When the couple had a baby, it was removed to the dormitory.
Discipline was harsh, according to Green (p.25): children could be 'strapped, have their hair cropped or made to stand on a box in a public place while balancing a watermelon on their heads'. These disciplines were originally undertaken by Rev Gribble, but were later enforced by schoolteachers and dormitory matrons.
Gribble was transferred from Forrest River by the Australian Board of Missions in November 1928 (Green, pp.25, 58). A number of Anglican ministers were appointed as superintendents of Forrest River in the years following Gribble's retirement (p.57).
In 1930, (Green,p.65) staff at the mission were accused by the superintendent of sodomising 'mission boys'; a female staff member was accused of 'taking lewd photographs of the girls in her care' and selling those photographs in Wyndham. The staff accused the superintendent of using 'the chain as a punishment'. The superintendent resigned, the male abuser committed suicide and the female was dismissed without criminal charges being laid.
In 1936, a new girls' dormitory was built (Green, p.92).
In February 1942, after Darwin was bombed, Green (p.98) records that the dormitory children were evacuated to temporary camps near waterholes around the mission. When they returned to the mission, it was to face food shortages during the war years. While this no doubt caused hardship, Green (p.103) reports that it also enabled children to be allowed to search for bush tucker and to join the Forrest River adults in monthly corroborees to share the gathered food. During the war years, the children were also allowed to have regular, organised 'games evenings' which Green says (p.108) helped to break down the gender barrier between the girls and boys in the dormitories. Decisions were taken about clothing the children would wear during the war, when funds were even lower than usual and Aboriginal people were not entitled to clothing coupons. Green writes (pp.116-117) that 'children under five years would not wear clothes; boys between the ages of five and eleven years would wear short pants and the girls of that age would wear only waist skirts'. The older boys would wear shorts and a sleeveless shirt and older girls would have one dress. There was no mention of underwear. Sugar bags could be made into dresses for little girls on special occasions. Weekly washing was done at the river by women and girls in the traditional way.
School continued for the children throughout World War II and Anglican schools were asked (Green, p.107) to support 'nominated children'. Until 1947, schooling at Forrest River was held in the open air (p.114). According to Green (pp.124, 127, 132) the Bateman Survey in 1947 criticised the lack of proper education opportunities for children at the Forrest River Mission and authorities felt that the isolated position of the mission would not assist the assimilation policies that were gaining currency. In 1953, Forrest River accepted the offer of a government teacher and very minimal funding for school supplies.
Green (p.132) writes that even during the 1950s children had a poor diet, with fresh meat only once a week and damper and tinned meat thereafter.
In 1956, after months of planning and considerable bureaucratic juggling, eight children from the mission went to a holiday camp at Point Peron, south of Perth (Green, p.134). In the late 1950s, children were also being given the opportunity to go on school trips to Wyndham (p.134). In 1961, a two-classroom government school was built at the mission (pp.136-137) and in 1963, staff took the children up to Kununurra to see the Queen.
In 1968, with mounting debts and large expenses, Green reports (pp.153, 157) that Forrest River Mission was closed by Anglican authorities. Children joined their families and were 'scattered across several Wyndham reserves.
On 4 October 1970, Green records (p.162), a group of former Forrest River Mission residents formed the Oombulgurri Committee and decided to return to the land which would thereafter be known as the self-governing community of Oombulgurri.
Western Australian historian Neville Green (2009 pp.559-560) reports that in 1926, there was a massacre of Aboriginal people from the Forrest River Mission. In January 1927, Magistrate GT Wood held a Royal Commission into the incident and found that 11 people were murdered and their bodies burned to hide the evidence. Two police officers were charged with one murder, but at the committal hearings Magistrate Kitson determined there was not enough evidence to proceed. Historians and anthropologists have since confirmed the massacre did occur as the superintendent of the mission alleged.
The collection held by the Department for Child Protection and Family Support (DCPFS) dates from 1894. It includes records from the Government Receiving Depot, the State Children's Department, the Child Welfare Department and more recent departments which have been known at different times as the Department for Child Protection, Community Development, Community Welfare, Community Services, and Family and Children's Services. The records relate to children who were placed in all types of out of home 'care' in Western Australia. Some of the records held by the DCPFS were originally created by another government department or private agency.

The 25 Worst Christmas Songs...Ever
'Tis the season for us to be smothered by Holiday Jams. Truth be told this is my favorite time of the year. Still there are some songs that make me cringe around Christmas. So, everyday through Christmas Eve I'll be featuring the 25 Worst Christmas Songs...ever.
24. Blue Christmas – Porky Pig (aka Mark McCollum)
Ok, here's one that gets on the nerves...and stays there. It's Comedian Mark McCollum's version of Blue Christmas (sung the whole way through as Porky Pig). This is one of those songs where it's funny the first time you hear it, then slowly degrades your sense of tolerance with every spin. In researching this Porky Pig impressionist, I found very little on Mark McCollum. What I did find told me he watched a lot of cartoons, and his Looney Tunes impressions might have been his "Stairway to Heaven." Please, leave Blue Christmas to Elvis...PLEASE!
Oh, and you can blame this song on a DJ. This was recorded by a morning show out of North Carolina in the late 80's early 90's (pr at least close to that time period). If you listen intently to this ditty, you can hear the wacky morning DJ's laughing. UGH!
The 25 Worst Christmas Song….Ever.

About Julianne Hudson
Three Architects from Chattanooga TN bought this house new for family retreats and would now like to share their blessings with you.
Julianne Hudson purchased this house in 1999
Why Julianne Hudson chose Dune Allen Beach
Once you visit, you will understand....tranquility, convenience, beautiful beaches and a fantastic neighborhood!
What makes this house unique
The pool and grilling area are just across the drive, steps from our front door. Large enough to have 'alone time', shared enough for groups to enjoy. Beach just at the end of the street and fresh seafood at the Goatfeather's Market, just outside the neighborhood.
Guestbook comments from the manager
I never wanted to leave here! The Medallion House is large enough to have some alone time even with the family and the neighborhood is safe for the children to run or ride around alone. I could sit on the upper deck, listening to the stereo, cooking and reading while keeping and eye on my children in the pool. Easy walk to the glistening white sands and beautiful turquoise sea. All the neighbors are friendly and Goatfeather's is an easy answer to dinner everyday...either in the restaurant for the market to buy fresh seafood and cook on the grill. It's one of those places that you never have to get in your car to enjoy a relaxing and fun vacation!

you.' I've also had someone tell me they got divorced because of me - 'I didn't come home from Barcelona' and all that. There have been plenty of stories from that night.
In terms of popularity, you've got a similar standing as all-time greats like Cantona and Keane - how big a deal is that for you?
I don't rate myself with them, but I am really proud that the supporters have liked what I've done. I take it as a compliment, of course. If you say Keane, Cantona… I've been privileged to play with the best players. Beckham, Scholesy, Giggsy, Keane, Cantona, Gary Neville… I've played with the best players in the history of the club, so I'm really proud.
Will you miss anything about Manchester?
Absolutely. I realised when I drove the kids to school, or went into Wilmslow or Manchester, that it wouldn't be a part of my life anymore. But I'm keeping my house here. It's only just finished – it's taken three years! Sod's law, isn't it? But you never know what will happen. I am ambitious, so if I'm successful in the Norwegian Premier League a club over here might try me. At some stage I would like to come back.
Will you take any aspects of English life with you?
We'll take a lot with us. It's the little treats like mince pies. That's what we missed about Norway – the little details. That's what we'll miss about Manchester. We'll miss our friends, big time. We really made some great friends outside football as well, and we'll miss them. You realise that you're leaving them for good in the sense of being neighbours and everyday friends, but we'll see them again. I have to say, the English people are such polite, open people. So friendly and well-mannered and we'll bring some of that back with us to Norway.
What will you miss about working at Carrington?
Everything. Coming in every day, I've always enjoyed it. When you drive into Carrington you know it's going to be a nice day. The staff are fantastic, you talk football all day long and I'm going to try and create this environment in Molde. The environment at this training ground is fantastic. It's a performance culture. We're all striving to make the players better and I'm going to miss that very much. Plus the people, of course. I'll miss out some names, but the players I played with that are still here; I'll miss the banter with them. The staff have been fantastic, from Kath on reception to everyone in the media. The manager, the secretary, the kitmen and then the staff I've worked with every day trying to improve the players, and I've had a

Almost 36,000 people ran the Boston Marathon on April 21, 2014, a year after the infamous bombings at the finish line. Here's a first-person perspective from one of those 36,000 folks, captured using Google Glass. What a gift it was to be able to run again this year. It wasn't my fastest marathon, or my slowest, but being with these amazing friends, amidst these runners, the awesome crowds, this great city, made it certainly one of the most meaningful. #BostonStrong

Hey Ernesto, Not sure if you remember me. I have/had a blog called dujour.us. I just watched your Google Glass video of the 2014 marathon you ran. Fantastic. Thank you for posting it. A little late commenting but it's been very busy. Have some time this week as I'm on vacation and poking around on the internet a bit. I hope all is well.

Kobe Bryant
Metta World Peace, James Harden remain physical
May 17, 2012
By Mark Medina
When it comes to sequels, rarely do they come out as compelling as the original. Oh, there are some exceptions. Godfather II, Terminator II, Empire Strikes Back and Dark Knight come to mind. But they are not the rule. The same case applies to the chippiness between Lakers forward Metta World Peace and Thunder guard James Harden. Of course it's a good thing nothing has topped World Peace's vicious elbow on April 22 that gave Harden a concussion and led to a seven-game suspension for World Peace.
Metta World Peace says Knicks wouldn't let him lead
March 17, 2014
By Houston Mitchell
Metta World Peace had his contract bought out by the New York Knicks last month, at his request, because they wouldn't let him lead, not because he was spending a lot of time on the bench. That is what the former Lakers forward told the New York Post on Sunday. "I didn't mind playing any role, but I didn't see myself having a role, not even a leadership role," World Peace said. "I was fine with being on the bench, but at times I wanted to help lead. But at times I tried to lead, it was met with resistance.
Metta World Peace wears eccentric jacket during film session
March 25, 2012
By Mark Medina
Metta World Peace proudly brags about his hometown of Queensbridge, N.Y. So much so that he even asked TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager to say "Queensbridge" after a post-game interview. But during the Lakers' film session on Saturday, World Peace mimicked what many Angelenos do when it's not a perfect beach-weather day. They freak out. And in World Peace's case, well Pau Gasol's explanation via Twitter explains it all. "How about @MettaWorldPeace jacket!?!" Gasol tweeted . "He was cold and he put it on for a video session!
New York Knicks waive former Lakers forward Metta World Peace
February 24, 2014
By Eric Pincus
The New York Knicks have waived former Lakers forward Metta World Peace, along with guard Beno Udrih. "We are disappointed that it did not work out for Beno and Metta here in New York," Knicks President and General Manager Steve Mills said in a statement. "We thank them for their contributions this season and wish them well. " THANKS NYC for having me. Just signed my papers for waiver from my favorite team as a kid, The Knicks.

Christian Eyenga cherishes practicing with Metta World Peace
May 10, 2012
By Mark Medina
Below is a Q&A with Lakers forward Christian Eyenga, acquired from Cleveland along with Ramon Sessions before the March 15 trading deadline. After Metta World Peace drew a seven-game suspension for elbowing Oklahoma City guard James Harden, the Lakers recalled the 22-year-old Eyenga from theD-Fenders. While there he averaged 12.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in 33 minutes through six games. On practicing with World Peace during his suspension: "He taught me a lot about defense.
Five ways Metta World Peace's absence affected the Lakers
May 11, 2012
By Mark Medina
Below are five things the Lakers lacked because of Metta World Peace's seven-game suspension. 1. Defense. Of course, World Peace would've provided better defense against Danilo Gallinari than Matt Barnes and Devin Ebanks. Gallinari's 14.6-point average came on 41.1% shooting and none of his performances played a significant factor in the Nuggets' losses. The Lakers instead missed World Peace the most on defense because of his versatility. With Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol lacking enough intensity to guard JaVale McGee and Kenneth Faried, the Lakers could've opted for World Peace to stop them on a few possessions.

-- The Times' Mike Bresnahan first reported that the NBA wouldn't decide Monday what disciplinary measures it would give Lakers forward Metta World Peace for throwing an elbow Sunday at Oklahoma City guard James Harden. - -NBA.com's Steve Aschburner argues World Peace's suspension should correlate to how long it takes Harden to recover from a concussion. -- The Oklahoman's Jenni Carlson believes it will be hard to predict Harden's return. -- USA Today's Mike Lopresti argues World Peace hasn't grown up. -- The Oklahoman's Darnell Mayberry explains how Harden is a critical piece to the Thunder's championship run. Mayberry also reports the Thunder is listing Harden as day-to-day . -- The Orange County Register's Jeff Miller argues World Peace's strike on Harden could've been even more severe.
Metta World Peace satisfied with conditioning heading into Game 7
May 11, 2012
By Mark Medina
With the Lakers possibly looking at the end of a tumultuous season, there remains several signs of glimmering hope. They enter Game 7 of their first-round playoff series Saturday against the Denver Nuggets with plenty of history on their side. The Lakers haven't lost Game 7 of an NBA playoff series since the 1969 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has gone 4-1 in previous Game 7s, and helped secure Game 5 in a 2000 first-round matchup with the Sacramento Kings . The Lakers now receive a welcome addition not yet seen in the postseason: small forward Metta World Peace, who has served a seven-game suspension for throwing a vicious elbow to the head of Oklahoma City guard James Harden on April 22. There's no acclimation period for World Peace, who will start in place of second-year forward Devin Ebanks.
Lakers can't solely rely on Metta World Peace's return for Game 7 edge
May 12, 2012
By Mark Medina
Once the clock hits 7:30 Saturday night it will mark Metta World Peace's return to the court in Game 7 of the Lakers-Nuggets series, the first game he's played in 20 days after serving a seven-game suspension for throwing a vicious elbow at Oklahoma City guard James Harden. As he sat down before a handful of reporters at the Lakers' practice facility after morning shootaround Saturday, World Peace hardly sounded anxious about his return. "I don't like to rush the time," World Peace said.
New York Knicks, Metta World Peace reportedly parting ways
February 22, 2014
By Ben Bolch
The New York Knicks were reportedly working on a buyout of Metta World Peace's contract Saturday. But there was nothing even the notorious Knicks public relations machine could do about the tweets of Daniel Artest , World Peace's brother. Among the highlights: "Ron wanted to be a knick his entire career and his dream became a nightmare. Knicks need an overhaul. Top to bottom. "Well. At least I got some nice knick gear. " "I'm not threatening [owner Jim ] Dolan on twitter tho. Lol. Some fan is locked up for that.

Lakers' Kent Bazemore, MarShon Brooks reduce the trade deficit
February 22, 2014
By Mike Bresnahan
Throw-ins? Almost as quickly as you could say "Blake Mamba," the seldom-used duo acquired from Golden State for Steve Blake erupted for a combined 29 points in the Lakers' 101-92 victory Friday night over Boston. Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks had averaged only 4.9 points combined this season before Bazemore scored 15 and Brooks had 14 against the Celtics. But can they do this consistently? "If you can do it once, you can do it twice," Lakers Coach Mike D'Antoni said Saturday.

Ron Artest's fighting days apparently died with his birth name. Meet Metta World Peace, a man who prefers teaching children about love over punching players and fans. In honor of Valentine's Day, the former Laker and current New York Knicks forward has released his second children's book, "Metta's World Peace and Love Stories. " "This book is a simple way to interact with your child, nephew, niece, younger siblings and instill at a young age the importance of love and family togetherness," World Peace said in a statement. The book can be purchsed at mettaworldpeace.com and is also available on Amazon Kindle for $3.99.
NBA quotes of the week
November 30, 2013
Sweet nothings New York Knicks forward Metta World Peace , on what lured him to make Madison Square Garden home: "I honestly didn't even know who the coach was when I was coming to New York. I just wanted to win a championship; I didn't even know who was coaching. I didn't care. It could have been Aunt Jemima. They could have had the syrup coaching. I was coming here regardless. " Moving quickly Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol , on his recovery from a sprained knee ligament: "They try to give me a week [count before returning]
Metta World Peace: I didn't know who Knicks coach was when I signed
November 29, 2013
By Austin Knoblauch
Maybe it's a good thing Metta World Peace didn't know exactly what he was getting into when he signed with the New York Knicks in the off-season. The former Lakers forward told ESPN this week that he didn't even know who the Knicks' coach was when he signed with the team. With the Clippers extending the Knicks' losing streak to seven games Wednesday, World Peace might not want to get too used to the idea of Mike Woodson being the team's coach. "I honestly didn't even know who the coach was when I was coming to New York," World Peace said.

In exactly one week, all the waiting will end. Steve Nash and Dwight Howard will wear the Lakers uniform for the first time. So, too will key reserve pickups in Antawn Jamison and Jodie Meeks. Kobe Bryant will enter a season happy about the Lakers' front office moves. Pau Gasol won't have to wonder if the Lakers will trade him. The Lakers won't have to fret about Metta World Peace being out of shape. As you can tell, there's plenty of storylines to dive into as the Lakers launch Media Day on Oct. 1 and begin training camp the next day. Will the Lakers' star-studded lineup prove enough against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat?

They often arrived, especially at first, with a certain swagger. Two Lakers, a Boston Celtic and, once, an entire pro team from China. On the sidewalk, passersby sometimes stopped to peer through the windows of the Marina del Rey studio, as if looking into an aquarium of really big fish: hulking professional basketball players in a studio with pink ceilings and wallpaper, doing ... wait, is that ... Pilates? Well, sort of. "I don't think Pilates is supposed to have yelling and hip-hop," one passerby said recently to her companion.
Metta World Peace takes subway to first Knicks game
October 31, 2013
By Melissa Rohlin
Your browser does not support iframes. Metta World Peace is anything but conventional, so it should come as no surprise that to get to his first Knicks game, he took a form of transportation that's atypical of most millionaire NBA stars. World Peace rode the subway to his team's home opener on Wednesday. The F train to be exact. The Queensbridge native used to ride that train when he was a child dreaming of playing for the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. After he was amnestied by the Lakers and picked up by the Knicks, World Peace decided to bring things full circle. "This is something I've always wanted to do," he told Newsday . World Peace boarded the train on 21st Street and 41st Avenue, an intersection that borders the housing projects where he was raised.

The samples on the shelf smelled heavenly- just like what i would imagine if i was on a tropical island on a warm beautiful somewhat sexy night. Of course i instantly bought it- only to find out when i went home the smell in the tub was a bit different than the samples at the store, it had a more sweet strong smell that reminded me of nata de coco, it was so strong that it semi-masked the smell of coconut i sniffed in the store sample (which was absolutely yummy) luckily when i used it after a few minutes the strong sweet smell would change into a strong coconut smell like the smell of the store sample, and even though it was strong it wasn't overpowering- it was strongly complimenting. Still a little bit pissed by the fact that the tub i got smells different untill i use it (maybe it will go away along with time) but for moisture, this body butter does wonders, but just a reminder, it is a body butter- made for use on your body only (i think it would be too thick for the face & a bit too strong for the eye and lip area, especially considering the fact that when i tested it on my lips my lips burned (because of alcohol i think) but overall, a great buy;)

Great body butter! Has a heavenly warm and rich scent, that isn't too powerful, but lasts long. I moisturized my legs last night, and I still smell it (when I sniff my legs sssh lol).
I only bought this one because they didn't have the 400 ml tub in Peach (which smell sooooo good), but I did not regret my purchase, which is on the pricey side, but the formula is so rich, you don't need much of it. This butter is gonna last me a long while. :D

This has to be my favourite moisturizer ever. The smell is heavenly and it absorbs really well. I use it in the morning and do not need to apply it again during the day. The claim of being a 24-hr moisturizer is definitely true!
I had a friend with bad eczema who had no luck with prescription moisturizers and medications so I suggested this product to her. Although she (and I) did not like the price, she said it worked wonders.
Of all the body butter scents offered by The Body Shop, I think this one is the best. It reminds me of summer all year long.

I bought this as I was checking out at Ulta, you know they have all sorts of small little things near the checkout? Anyways, I usually like the small travel size tubs of body butter so I can keep in my purse and use. Not exactly sanitary but I use it anyway. I desperately needed a good hand cream and so I use this at work cause the soap in the bathroom is super drying. Anyways, I thought I liked the coconut smell, it does smell a tinge chemically, and I had my boyfriend smell it and he's said it smells like rancid s***. I smelled it again, and I don't know, it has the potential to I guess. He smelled it out of the tub. Anyways, the reason I give it 2 stars cause I noticed it causes acne! On my chin, lower jaw, near my lips. Since I use this on my hands and at work normally, I sit at my desk and I rest my chin and jaw on my hands. I was wondering why I was breaking out so much only in those areas, it's this body butter! Thankfully, I didn't use this on my chest or back cause then we would have major problems. Anyways, good way to know that your hand lotion might be causing your acne.

I like the smell of this product, but it doesn't compare to other Body Butters (especially TBS Olive Body Butter). It has a nice, summery beach smell, but I find the butter does not absorb well. Even though it says it's for extra dry skin, I don't find it that moisturizing. I find myself having to put a lot of it on, and it's just wasteful. For now, I only use it on my feet (glop it on, put on some cotton socks, and watch some tv while it soaks in), but by the next day my feet are hard and dry again. It's too bad, but I will buy Body Butter in other scents.

I love keeping this container of body butter right by my bedside. Every night before bed time i moisturized my hands and this scent is so rich and soothing that it actually calms me and puts me to sleep. The coconut is very rich and moisturizing, very good for dry feet as well (helped with calluses)

I love the smell of coconut so this smells amazing! Doesn't have that nasty artificial smell.
I use this product when I get out of the shower, and it leave my skin sooooo soft and doesn't leave it greasy at all! Plus the smell lasts quite a while on skin, which I love! Although it's quite pricey in Australia (200 ml for $30)
Regardless I love it!! Since I'm going into winter this will definatly be my best friend.

"Do colors have a meaning?," you ask. Most certainly they do. Every color affects us in very specific ways and has certain connotations that bring to mind specific locations in the body. The meaning of green is no different. We can use these colors from everything to our jewelry selection, to the color we choose to paint our room, to the color we focus on to clear an energy block. So, how does this work and how can we make it work for us?
How does the meaning of green affect our mood?
Green is relaxing and refreshing. It gives us a sense of peace. Researchers believe this is because it is linked to nature. However, colors work on our brain on a deep level, so this is only conjecture. When you want to start a new venture, surround yourself with green as it is the color of new growth and new birth. When you meditate, imagine a green seedling sprouting forth. Then, when you wear green jewelry or clothing, bring to mind that meditative state often throughout the day.
The meaning of green in sacred texts
I bet you didn't know that colors have meanings throughout scriptures. I didn't know that either, but I was schooled.
- Judaism & Christianity: In the Bible, colors and their deeper meaning abound. Here the meaning of green is expansive. When the Hebrew word for green is used it is used in relation to growth and food. It is also used to discuss trees that represent nations. The "green tree" is the nation that flourishes. The meaning of green is also associated with rest, as in "lying down in green pastures." Jesus likened himself to green wood full of the sap of God's word.
- Islam: In the Qur'an, green is used to describe the items found in paradise. In paradise we will recline upon green carpets and wear garments of green silk. The dome of Mohammad's tomb is green.
- Hinduism: Green is a happy color and is never worn by those grieving. It represents life, joy, and peace. It calms and focuses the mind. In rituals, green leaves are usually part of the offering.
- Buddhism: In Buddhism, the meaning of green takes on youth and harmony. Wearing or meditating on green can transform jealousy into action, accomplishment, and wisdom. It is associated with the head.
Clearing blocked energy with the meaning of green
Green is associated, a little unexpectedly if you ask me, with the heart chakra. In our society the heart is associated with red, a la Valentine's Day. Not so, here. Open your heart and clear the blocked energy by lighting a green candle, concentrating on this color and doing some spinal twists. Dab some rose or clary sage essential oil around your room and after your meditation and stretch, wear green stones, such as green jade for the day.

The reason i'm asking is.....one week ago, i went to watch Nickelback concert. Behind my seats, there were this 4-grouped girls...they look around 16 years old and they looked soooo damn hot/pretty. One of them was so pretty I can't seem to forget until tonight! A complete stranger whom i've stared at for like few minutes throughout the concert... The thing i noticed was, all her friends were almost equal in term of attractiveness.
So my question, do attractive ppl hang only hang out with attractive people? My friends are all quite attractive

Confusing entrance
Our room is outside the hotel
The front desk girl
The wi-fi went out
Closer to the airport. Spacious room with a comfortable bed. Provided shuttle service from car rental agency to the hotel. Restaurant and bar inside the hotel.
Small glitch in that I waited 30 minutes to be picked up from rental car agency by hotel shuttle.
Location next to the raider game
Dirty room and bad maintenance serv
Stuff are not friendly.they are two third full at main tower but give us room in different bilding's..becouse we are guy. Shuttle drive did not say thank you after he got tip even I said thank you.
When I ordered the room it was for a 2 beds. When I arrived I was booked for a 1bd. Then I had to pay money for a cot.. Wasn't happy with that. Other than that it was fine
1. Super safe for solo female travellers- very decent crowd 2. Exquisitely decorated room 3. Free shuttle service to Walmart and BART station 4. Great front desk especially Robert 5. I even found an Indian restaurant nearby
Nice airport hotel Probably needs a makeover but we enjoyed our stay
Front desk staff is very nice. The room I had (306 on 2 occasions) in the main building was recently remodeled and very comfortable. The shower was very good. Overall the main building is far superior to the annex buildings.
The hallway and room I recently had in the annex/back building ( room 226, I think) smelled like bug spray and was not as nicely decorated. The bed cover was lumpy. The shower head did not function as well as the one in the main building. The spray was not easily adjusted. Quite a different experience in the two buildings.
Amount of pillows was good. Very comfortable beds.
2nd stay there. 1st time a blanket was on the foot of bed. The 2nd time there was not.
Free breakfast was not so great. Needed more staffing. Also the choices were very limited. The room smelled well used...
Front desk was very nice and helpful
Room smelled like smoke Beds were very hard
The staff was nice , good was great
No hot tub
Great location within the vicinity of the stadium and the hotel didn't bother a lot of us at night when we partied in the parking lot. Obviously the whole hotel must have been Raiders fans. This is my hotel of choice to stay at for now on when I come down for football games.
Pool area seemed a little outdated. Other than that, I would advise if your looking for peace and quiet during the football season, this may not be the hotel for you.
Location, cleanliness and shuttle service.Exercise was adequate,
Complimentary breakfast poor quality, too much emphasis on ethnic foods and staff cleared out buffet well before 0900 hrs.Buffet needs to run from 0600 to 0930 for folks to sleep in after trans-Pacific flights. For those with flights earlier than 0700 a prepared doggy bag would be a nice amenity as on day of departure one can't take advantage of breakfast.
The staff was nice. The manager did send someone up to clean & bring us towels since all we had were the ones left by the previous guest.
The beds were terrible, the bathroom was filthy & obviously not cleaned, used soap on the bath tub, all of the toiletries were used. The "GYM" was a joke & gross. The grounds & some of common areas were in disrepair, my wife tripped on a broken tile. We were supposed to stay on our trip home as well, but we canceled that & stayed at another hotel. As for the wifi, it was difficult to connect to & extremely slow.
location. clean room
that i had to leave so soon :)
By far the best conditioner I've ever tried. I travel a lot and get stuck bringing my own products because I can't depend upon the quality at the hotels, especially conditioner.
Cleanliness and friendly staff.
Wi if not working
Outside noise very loud.
easy access to airport with complimentary shuttle
Staff was very courteous and even walked me to my car to complete parking form & put in parking permit. Room was very pleasant, clean and comfortable, nicely updated. Slept well on bed. Bathroom very nice, lovely granite in shower & sink surround. Black out curtains worked well. NO sound from airport!!
Wasn't anything I didn't like! Maybe that I didn't have a chance to try out the on site restaurant.
park and fly no longer on the premises ! very disappointing!
the minikitchen and wi-fi
Key cards didnt work well.
