The House of Worship should be open to all - as God is for ALL. Anyone who has faith should be allowed to enter - and even those who have no faith should be free to enter - so that they may learn the good and pious ways of believers (if they are good and pious and any better than non-believers) and help them (faithless or non-believers) know who God is and how precious each human being is the Lord God - the Creator of ALL. In Christian churches the coloured people were not allowed to enter the churches or even buses! Even Hindu women are not allowed to enter certain temples. The so-called untouchables are not allowed to enter temples in many places. So there is a lot of discrimination practiced by every religion - which does not hold God/Allah/Ishawar/Rab in good stead - for ALL are His children. To believe that believers are better people than non-believers is nothing but a sham. The House of Worship - should be open to ALL men, women and children - so that they may learn what ...moreAnswered by Noel David, 29 Jul '11 11:29 am

First-Person Pac-Man Revamps Arcade Classic
Variations of Street Fighter and Grand Theft Auto have intrigued the Internet this week, but a new Pac-Man might be the most exhilarating. Creator Tom Davies has introduced FPS-Man, a revamped, first-person edition to the classic arcade game. The main difference in this revamped version is that instead of an overhead view, gamers must collect their pac-dots without knowing what's around every corner. This makes for a more strategic and somewhat jolting gameplay.

Must-See Classic Boston-Area Restaurants
- k
- KSquared26 Sep 25, 2009 04:21 PM
Real connoisseur of everything old and dusty here. Maybe it's Mad Men rubbing off on me, but I want to make sure while I live in Boston (and before they close) I make it to EVERY area haunt that still has that classic feel.
I'm not looking for old places that have updated themselves and ostracized the white-hairs. I want to the places that still make a mean gin martini (and know that vodka is a poor substitute). Maybe they have London broil or peach Melba on the menu. They're surely dusty, and a bit weather-worn, but still have the spirit of an era that involved more hats and gloves than blue jeans and iPhones. They need not be expensive, just earnest.
These places are a dying breed, and I'd like to check them all out before it's too late. As a non-native, I don't have a good handle on where to find these joints.
Food is important, drinks are even more crucial, but what I really care about is the atmosphere.
Help me relive the past!
Silvertone feels older than it actually is, but the room is nice in a vintage sort of way (but not cheesy) and the drinks are great.
Yes, Oak Room for sure. Also, if you can get out of town, the Wayside Inn is pretty old and classic. I haven't been in years, but I bet the menu has not changed much, and the atmosphere both inside and out is great. The grounds are beautiful always, but especially at this time of year.
Locke-Ober has quite special atmosphere, but the bartending is merely good.
Some of the old hotel bars preserve some of this feeling: Bar at the Taj, Oak Bar, The Last Hurrah, Swan's Cafe, and though they're not that old, the Bristol and the Rowes Wharf Bar. Same for some upscale restaurants, though most aren't that old, either: Harvest comes to mind.
The luxury steakhouses do a version of it, with at least some of the service and 60s-vintage bartending if not quite authentically old atmosphere. My favorite of this bunch is Grill 23.
Our historic taverns are, well, historic, but most aren't great places for a serious cocktail, safer for beers and highballs, though they can probably pour you a decent martini: J.J. Foley's Cafe (South End), Doyle's, Jacob Wirth's.
For actual great cocktail craft sans authentic old-time atmosphere, there's a handful of places that can accurately recreate not only what Don Draper drank, but his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, too: Drink, the bar at No. 9 Park, Eastern Standard Kitchen & Drinks, Green Street, Craigie on Main, and Deep Ellum.
re: MC Slim JB
while i won't vouch the bartending, smith & wollensky in the castle is quite the setting. built as an armory in the late 1800s, it was a redo dictated by national historic landmark restrictions. plenty of photos on the walls of how the place looked "back in the day" when members of the regiment used it as library/museum/meeting spaces.
re: MC Slim JB
Having seen exactly three episodes of "Mad Men" I have only a vague sense of the show but I did realize that my friends were telling the truth when they said I could be an extra on it without the need for the show's costumer or any coaching. Thus, my first thoughts in response to this query were Locke-Ober, The Ritz---the real one, which now masquerades under another name and which has the third bar version (or is it fourth?) in my lifetime---Jake Wirth's , Oak Room, Doyle's....I agree that Doyle's and Wirth's are more along the beer or boilermaker/Irish coffee line. A martini at Locke-Ober is one of the delights of life, even if the bar is "new". (Somewhere I have one of those little shot-glasses they used to use, with the name etched on it.) And the Ritz has always been a welcoming environment, even if the patrons would have been thrown out for wearing those clothes in the Good Old Days. I am not familiar with many of the newer places since my returns to Boston are no long enough to allow me to wander far from my old haunts. But Locke-Ober's bartenders have always been perfectly sufficient...my needs are limited to those Old School cocktails (I have even had them make a perfectly fine Sazerac...back in the 1970's, no less) so perhaps, in this High-Octane Cocktail World they are no up to par with the Fad of the Moment, whatever that may be. But, for the ambiance I think the OP is looking for, the classic cocktails at the Ritz or Locke-Ober would be just the ticket. The only other venues I can think of off the top of my head are private places that take a pride in not having changed a thing for 80 years.
I've not been to the Castle since S&W got it but it was a great place for some parties back in the 1970's....
It saddened me when Jimmy's was torn down because one of my favoite things was a whiskey sour by the window when the fog was rolling in.....
re: hazelhurst
smith & wollensky spent over $12 million on the reno. it's gorgeous inside.
re: the modern serf
do you mean anthony's pier 4? they have a great selection of white burgundy and do a perfectly serviceable steamed lobster. and the view is spectacular. the servers and barstaff certainly are old and dusty.
re: hotoynoodle
yes. where did that extra 4 come from?
re: skordalia
You're making me cry....
Unfortunately, in terms of drinks being "more crucial", your premise is a bit flawed. The "old dusty" places no longer make good cocktails. If you were to go into Parker House and order a martini, they would give you iced vodka.
To get proper classic cocktails, you have to, ironically, go to newer places who hire bartenders who appreciate the classics. Do a search for "classic cocktail" and you'll find them. JB listed several.
If you still really want that old timey atmosphere, I would put the bartending at Oak Room and Locke-Ober (sometimes) above other places.
Agree that Silvertone gives a mid-century vibe, and is a good choice, too, even though it is "only" around 15 years old or so.
re: Alcachofa
The notion of "iced vodka" as a martini is, well, enough to give one chills
A few that come to mind:
The Last Hurrah, downtown Boston
Mount Vernon, Somerville
Stockyard, Brighton
Corrib Pub, West Roxbury
Lewis', Norwood
Jimmy's Steer House, Arlington
Frank's, Cambridge
Pleasant Cafe, Roslindale
Wayside Inn, Sudbury
Colonial Inn, Concord
Jeveli's, East Boston
Doyle's, Jamaica Plain
Greg's, Watertown
New Bridge Cafe, Chelsea
Durgin Park, Faneuil Hall
La Hacienda, Somerville
Finian's, Quincy
Cafe Venice, Norwood
Campanale's, Braintree
I'm not sure these are all must-see, but it gives you some options, anyways.
re: hiddenboston
What does it say about me that I'm more familiar with this list than almost any other place listed above?
re: hiddenboston
omg!!! lewis'!!!!! i was stuck thinking boston proper, but lewis' is quite the experience. those paintings! and the lewis burger! it is also quite possibly the darkest bar which i've ever visited.
they do use fresh-squeezed-to-order orange juice for screwdrivers.
re: hiddenboston
I've not been in The Last Hurrah since a certain VERY dark day in history (October,1986). Do you think it conveys that "old feel" being sought after? Now that we are post-2004, I suppose I can go back there without horrible memories.
re: hazelhurst
Oh, yes. While I'm not a fan of the food at The Last Hurrah, the combination of old-moneyed rich people, bowls of nuts on the tables, and variety of scotches and gin on the drink menu always make me feel like I'm classy, rich, and old (none of which actually apply to me, though the old part seems to be getting more and more realistic).
re: hiddenboston
Hmm...it all seems so foreign after all these years...I do still have a matchbook from That Awful Night...and I guess hyou are right but the place never "felt" like the Old World to me. Now, the Ritz bar, especially when one could make the Grand Entrance from the back (they removed that in the 1970's) had those little hotelware silver bowls and the nuts etc, and the ashtrays with the little lion in gold on the bottom...and that Ritz Blue that the new (new money) Ritz owners cannot get right. Well, I'll run by Last Hurrah when I am next in town...I always go to Locke-Ober so I;ll be in the neighborhood.
Audord hui...whoops that one closed recently. Maison Robert...now a Ruth's Chris. L'Espalier...(yes, yes the food and service are still impeccable), however it is not remotely the same experience since moving.
Your thought to go before they close is a good one, so very sad what has gone on with our landmark restaurants. Locke Ober still qualifies IMO as a few posters have suggested. Other than that, there is sadly not much which fits the bill for what you seek.
Thanks for all of the great feedback! I love the hidden gems mixed in here that are not as popular. HiddenBoston, care to share the rest of your list?
The more I've thought about it, the more I've realized that although drinks are all well and good, really the ambiance is what I'm seeking. I've been to a lot of these types of places in other cities that are a shadow of their former selves, but you can still feel the glory, if that makes any sense at all. Those are the best to me. Maybe this cocktail renaissance will help some of these spots find new life.

I needed a screen for privacy for the time of my bedroom renovation when i have to sleep in the living room. The screen matches my piano(red), looks very airy, light, doesn't harm living room's look. Main thing - it allows total privacy, it is big enough and paper is totally not transparent, though lets the light through. I can change behind it with people in the room.
this product is wonderful, i clean out my garage and had it set up as a hangout space for my 4 teenage sons and their friends to hang out. i had originally plan on putting a wall up but look on line and read and decided that this would be cheeper and still give my kids their privacy space . i have a two car garage and was kind of worried that the panels would not be wide enough so i order 3 sets but i ended up using 2 sets only because they are huge, 2 screens cover about 14 feet across, i was so impressed w/ quality, workmenship plus there was no assembly require. product was delivered fast and package carefully nothing was broken just open and set up. loved this windowpane screen and have already recommend to friend who was also looking online to purchase one also. will be using the extra screen in my bedroom. ** worth the price, department stores sell for way more and product is much smaller then this one ***
Love the this screen. I bought the honey wood colored version with the 6 panels and the honey color was accurate to what is pictured. It is beautiful and works perfectly. I would highly recommend it. The hinges are brass in color. Arrived quickly and was packaged just fine. The rice paper is lovely. The grid work is not on the back side of the screen just on one side, which was fine with me.
I purchased this screen to partition my work space from an entertaining space. The screen is just beautiful. I choose the natural finish. This makes the room appear lighter and larger.. The srceen is very well made. It shipped very fast. I would certianly recommend it to any of my friends.
I was a bit nervous about this since rice paper tears easily, but this is actually a stronger fabric that looks good and doesn't tear easily. There are also little pads on the bottom of the screen to protect the floor and keep the screen from moving much. We've had some breezes through the area and they didn't move. Another nice touch is that the joints are all double-hinged so they can fold either way. My previous screen had one-way hinges (like a door) and I had to unscrew them and remount them the other way to get it to fold the other way.
I was concerned that the rice paper would be quite thin and easy to damage. It is not, it is quite thick and I believe it will hold up well. It isn't often that you find panels with a choice for the number of panels and that is also nice about this product. We chose the walnut color and it does have distinct black undertones, which I like, but might the wood color might be darker than expected when you think of walnut. While it is big at 6 panels (check measurements carefully!) It doesn't feel overwhelming.
Amazing good quality screen. Just perfect for what I needed. Love Overstock products. ... They're top - notched!
I bought two dividers, the six panel and the three panel. I have a studio apartment and wanted to cordon off my bedroom area from the rest of the apartment. Not only are these screens beautiful, they also give my apartment a zen feel. I get many compliments on my apartments decor, and 99.5 percent of my furnishings were purchased at Overstock.
The 4 panels provide excellent stability, the reviews are certainly correct there. The screen is well solid & constructed, paper is strong, height is perfect and the unit can be repositioned easily. Fast shipping - it arrived in 3 days. Plus it looks great! Can't ask for more.
I ordered two 3-panel white screens. The screens seem to be very durable so far and are very nice to look at. I use them to section off a home office space in my formal living area as it is the first thing someone sees as they walk in my front door. The screens offer privacy and cover up a slightly messy office space. Great buy!

Somalisa is an authentic bush camp, a blend of old African charm and elegance together with an exclusive safari experience. There are only six tents with en suite bathrooms, flush toilet and romantic alfresco bush shower. The décor echoes of an old era, from colonial to the ancient tribes of Africa, telling the story from all corners of this magnificent continent. The lounge and dining area is at the forefront of the camp, tucked under a soaring canopy of trees. The Main area and pool overlooks the pan where the herds of game congregate in large herds.
Client Feedback
We stayed at three different tented camps (Khwai Tented Camp in Botswana, Somalisa in Hwange National Park, and Rukomechi in Mana Pools). All three were very nice and we would definitely recommend any of them. As before, Somalisa was our favorite - just the right combination of comfort, a "real" bush camp experience, plus small enough that you could interact with other guests and large enough to have other guests. Also, the meals at Somalisa were particularly good.
The Victoria Falls Safari Club was excellent. Can also highly recommend the Makuwa Kuwa restaurant next door at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge. Based on our experience, would probably recommend the Victoria Falls Hotel for first-time visitors, the Victoria Falls Safari Club is better for repeat visitors who just want to relax...
We also enjoyed our tour of The Ann Van Dyk Cheetah Centre, near Pretoria…In addition to cheetahs, the Centre has painted dogs, serval, caracal, and many vulture species, all of which we were able to view close-up.

Somalisa was our favorite camp with its combination of great game viewing, authentic bush camp atmosphere and excellent food and staff. We loved the front porch waterhole and one day watched an elephant family dote on an hour -old ele baby. A partial list of our game sightings would include giraffe, kudu, waterbuck, sable, roan, elephant and buffalo. Some of the action highlights were when watching a nervous cheetah family on a waterbuck kill a big male lion appeared, ran off the cheetahs, and stole the kill. Another was the remarkable 'Out of Africa' scene at a waterhole one evening when a huge herd of buffalo, maybe one thousand, enveloped the waterhole and mingled with elephants and other game. Just like the movies! One evening after dinner a roaring male lion came right into camp to be illuminated by lights, and on several other nights elephants walked between tents. And finally at Somalisa Nic got us onto a rhino track and we were able to walk up to a family group of three white rhinos, and that was a thrill. One in our party saw wild dog which we missed. We just needed more time to appreciate everything Somalisa had to offer.
Our mobile camp in northern Hwange near Shumba was delightful --- more excellent meals and service. Very comfortable beds and tents and en suite facilities. Although the lions eluded us we enjoyed seeing literally hundreds of elephants, plus a big herd of buffalo coming to water, along with roan, kudu, hippo, honey badger, and some nice birds like golden breasted bunting and blue waxbill.
At Vundu Camp in Mana Pools our dreams came true one morning when we got in the midst of seventeen wild dogs on the hunt. It was so exciting seeing them run and split up into pairs and singles and then regroup and go again. Nic kept us in the hunt until they killed and ate an impala. Wild dogs are our favorite so this was a special sighting. Nic was able to locate Handstand (the elephant and several times we were able to video the big tusker stand on his hind legs while reaching high into a tree with his trunk for a green branch). Amazing! The lions did not elude Nic here and we observed several groups including youngsters. Two solitary female lions had a dispute with hyenas one morning and both lion and hyena looked the worse for wear, with multiple wounds and mangled ears. One elephant bull we walked close to gave us the trumpet and mock charge treatment, kicking dirt on us as he skidded to a stop, which is what my heart did momentarily. There was lots of other game at Vundu including impala, waterbuck, warthog, hippo, crocodile, banded and dwarf mongoose, kudu and numerous eland and birds. Camp beneath the shade trees on the bank of the Zambezi was very comfortable with hot water for showers constantly available. The food and service was excellent.
Nic delivered us to Camp Amalinda and turned us over to the care of guide Paul Hubbard. For our few days in Amalinda we elected to just relax and enjoy the scenery, company, and food. This proved to be a good choice as Paul was a virtual encyclopedia of all things Matabo and especially cave paintings. Paul made our stay there so fulfilling and enjoyable - - - - not to forget our visit to the Children 's Home which we would not miss and hope to return.Read More

Santa Monica Sushi
I just moved to Santa Monica (near Montana and 1st) and am trying to find some good nearby sushi places. I know Sushi Roku and Sasabune well but am hoping to find a cheap (but good) option that I can walk to. Any ideas?
echigo (sm blvd) is nearby, but not within walking distance. it's cheap (40-50$ for omakase) and good. warm rice along the lines of sasabune and zo. i don't know of any that are within walking distance, cheap, and good.
Don't know if this is walking distance for you, but Sushi King fits the bill for cheap and decent.
Sushi King
1330 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90403
First, the vitriol:
Sushi Roku is hideous, a blight on the sushi scene of our fair city.
Echigo? More like Echi-Don't-Go.
OK, now that I've gotten that out of my system, I recommend these places (many of these establishments may not be easily walk-accessible, like most of the westside):
The Hump (SM Airport): Top-Notch food, service, and an excellent, relaxed vibe. Expensive, but hey, someone's gotta pay those pilots to ferry that stuff fresh from Tsukiji Market on a regular basis!
Sushi King (on Wilshire): Reliable and tasty. Wait can be a bit long for a table. Try their drunken pear dessert. Not as expensive as The Hump (thank goodness).
Sasabune (on Wilshire): I'm not a big fan of warm, loosely packed rice for my sushi, but the fish quality is rather good there.
Mori Sushi (on Pico): Great uni, excellent quality, but you do pay for it.
Takao Sushi (on San Vicente, in Brentwood): Yum. Again, a bit expensive (seeing a pattern on the westside here?).
Finally, get in that car and drive to Sawtelle Blvd. for Yuzando, Bar Hayama, Place Yuu, Kiriko.
re: J.L.
JL whatever personal issue you have with Sushi Roku (I think you hate both SM and Pasadena as I can see from past posts), it's not a blight. That's your personal opinion and you're certainly entitled to it. For the two years I worked in Santa Monica, I enjoyed going to Roku. Great service and very good sushi. It's not the best sushi in SM (I love Sasabune) but it's certainly not the worst.
re: ExtraCheesePlease
try nagao on san vicente and 26th. it's a great neighborhood spot that has great salads. it's inexpensive too.
re: ExtraCheesePlease
I side with JL on this one. Roku is awful in just about every way
I strongly agree with the Echigo suggestion. The stuffed squid and the blue crab rolls are fantastic. The decor is not inspiring, but I am so transported by the sushi that I often have to close my eyes to focus on the flavor anyway!
U-zen on Santa Monica , a block east of Bundy on the north side of the street. Be sure to sit with Masa. I would not describe it as "cheap," but it is far less expensive than the places you mention and the quality of the fish is far superior.
In my experience, there is not a single sushi restaurant in walking distance from Montana and Ocean that is acceptable to dine at. Not one. Sushi King is substantial walk from your address but doable. I just don't care for them.
I think of the places already mentioned that are actually cheap, I like U-Zen. I have had some very mediocre meals there but I have some solid ones there too. I would consider them cheap for sushi because any place that I've tried that's noticibly cheaper has been just foul.
Hide is fine and certainly fits the cheap but I can't shake the feeling that I'm in the Nordstom's Rack of sushi places.
My favorite place for a casual sushi night on the westside is Place, and it has been for years. I've had one bad experience there with some poorly cooked sushi rice in all that time. It's relatively cheap, they have interesting specials (as they are really an izakaya), and it's totally affordable. I don't think you can do better when you factor in price, location (to you), and quality.
Mori, Bar Hayama, The Hump, and maybe even Kiriko are all superior but are also going to set you back some coin.
You may also want to try Torafuku. They serve solid quality fish on some of the best rice in the city. That's getting even further away though.
Good luck and let us know if you find something else.
re: Frommtron
Can't recall if you have posted on Echigo before or not, F-tron? If you haven't tried them I think it would be worth it to go. We also frequent U-Zen quite a bit and the sushi at Echigo is on par, (and certain things are better) with U-Zen.
re: Servorg
I haven't been to Echigo yet. We'll give that one a go next. Thanks for the recommendation.
re: Servorg
i go to echigo all the time but have never considered U-zen. Is it as traditional?
re: Frommtron
where is Place? i didn't see it on google.
re: bluesteel
It was a short hand name for the full name, Place Yuu.
re: bluesteel
he/she might have meant place yuu:
Place Yuu
2101 Sawtelle Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90025
(310) 478-7450
re: wilafur
Just went to Place Yuu tonight (I'm there once every 10 days or so - I think I'm putting Mori-san's kids through school). Always excellent quality.
thanks for all the good suggestions!! i know cheap, close, and good was probably too much to ask but ill definitely be trying some of these places!
re: bluesteel
Sushi Sho on Montana is a good casual place that you can walk to. You could get the pre-made take-out or ask the sushi chef to make special orders for you. They mostly do take out but your could also eat in at one of the few tables in the tiny store. The sushi is quite tasty and fresh.
Sushi Sho
1303 Montana Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90403
re: fdb
These suggestions are all very interesting, but I'd love to see price quotes of lunch/dinner prices for any who have frequented them. I'm not being a cheapskate, but honestly, sushi places in LA intimidate the heck out of me, since I've seen dinner prices quoted anywhere from $30/person to $300+ at high-end places, and everything in between.
How much are some of these recommended places, such as Sasabune, Hump, Zo, etc.?
re: agarose2000
sasabune, around 100 pp.
Zo a bit more.
Hump set a friend and I back 1000 dollars, not including drinks. but we're abnormal and i'd say count on 200 pp.
re: epop
Wow. I'm REALLY glad I asked about the prices. I was hoping to hear $60-$90 range, but at those prices, I have no business whatsoever setting foot in any of those well-regarded restaurants. Even with an attending physician salary, that's a pretty hefty sum by any standard!
What did you guys eat at Hump that set you back $1000?!?
re: agarose2000
I've easily gotten out of Sushi Zo for $60 pp by ordering a la carte. I also ate at Echigo the other night and stuffed myself; the bill was $60 pp. Had some excellent kumato oysters (actually two orders) plus a bunch of other stuff and ended up getting a second blue crab hand roll because they were so great that night. The price definitely creeps up (and sometimes precipitously so) if you're going omakase, though.
re: agarose2000
And that's why Pharmaceutical Reps were created.....
re: agarose2000
Hump price explanation: a ton of live fish, including a Moving Lobster.
There's no stopping us, I guess.
re: agarose2000
Usually $70 to $100 per person for a nice meal.
re: agarose2000
I Think Hide is the best bargain for quality sushi, but it is no frills, cash only, and there can be quite a long wait for a seat. You can definitely get out of Hide for less than $50 p.p without skimping at all, and if you want an even better bargain try the sashimi tempura combo with a few orders of sushi on the side. This would be only about $30 per person for a full meal including tip but no drinks.
If you go, definitely go before 7:30, especially on weekends.
Anybody ever check out Midami sushi on Olympic just east of where Bundy intersects (in the Olympic Plaza I think it's called). It's my favorite westside sushi place (though I haven't been to some of the others mentioned here). The rolls are enormous and always really tasty.
Welcome to town Bluesteel!
Sushi King is what you are looking for. Also try driving to Hama sushi in Venice. Good spot for a more social night out for affordable sushi.
Definitely try Musha, although sushi is not there specialty.

In 2005, the World Bank launched a pilot program for applying strategic environmental assessments (SEAs) at the policy level. The World Bank tested an approach known "as institution-centered SEAs" for incorporating key environmental and social considerations into policy formulation. Institution-centered SEAs are applied at the policy level and emphasize the political, institutional and governance context underlying decision-making processes.
An SEA on the Kenya Forest Act of 2005 was one of the pilots associated with the program. Since then, SEAs and SEA principles have been used in other countries to inform policy, program and plan formulation and implementation.
This page compiles World Bank-supported SEAs in the forests sector. It also offers guidance on specific components of institution-centered SEAs.

This may be important or it may not be. However I was recently diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy which is a condition involving problems like hallucinations both audio, and visual and has been attributed to being the possible cause of such visions experienced by prophets etc, so I am inclined somewhat to blame all my psychic experiences on that as it is of course a scientific explanation for whats happening to me. However I do experience visions and audio hallucinations that coincidentally seem to come true in real life, call it what you like then. A few years ago I accurately predicted the Asian Tsunami of 2004 for one. Just recently I predicted deaths of people I knew accurately and the collapsing of buildings on Park avenue in New York thanks to my condition. Call them coincidences if you like. A couple of nights ago I had another hallucination. A Chinese woman spoke to me telling me two women aboard the missing plane have been raped, they are still alive and they need help and she felt bad telling me all of this because she didn't know if I could hear her...
Then again.. I might just be suffering TLE.. eh? As to where they are.. South Pacific Islands somewhere.

It must be sobering to be diagnosed with something that brings into doubt some of your past perceptions. I hope you're coping okay with any changes this brings to your life. I've often thought we dismiss too easily supernatural experiences when a disorder is diagnosed. Simply saying, ' This person has temporal lobe epilepsy,' shouldn't automatically prohibit investigation of that person's experiences. We don't understand the nature of such experiences, so can't know what conditions contribute to them. That said, while I hope there are survivors from the air crash, and they will be rescued, I sincerely hope they're not experiencing any abuse.

Well I hope that too. The lady speaking to me was vey specific, two women were raped, they are being held in a dark place, there is no way out, she was telling me its the south pacific, so if they are looking in the indian ocean its definitely the wrong place. As to why, the passengers have no idea why but I feel its government covert operations. The conspiracy is part of the distraction as well, of course again I'm just putting my theories forward, and everything.
As for coping ok, I mean, I don't want to be psychic anyway, so its kind of saying well ok its a medical condition its just that the experiences don't stop just cos there's finally a diagnosis. However I do wonder if TLE should be viewed more as the proof of psychic ability rather than the proof of a medical condition such as epilepsy after all it means that my brain waves are different ...

Party guests bask in the heat
Hosts say it's hard to keep company from drifting up to the breakfast bar
Pedro Arrais, Times ColonistPublished: Saturday, November 21, 2009
There is a wall plaque often found in kitchens that sums up holiday get-togethers best: "No matter where I serve my guests, it seems they like my kitchen best."
No matter what novel strategy hosts come up with to discourage this common practice, guests inevitably seem to congregate in the kitchen.
People naturally gravitate to kitchens because food preparation usually conjures warm and happy memories, say sociologists. The smell of the cooking is universally appealing and food is the cornerstone for any party.
Bar stools allow guests to visit with the host without getting in the way.
Debra BrashMore pictures: < Prev | Next >
"Food is an important type of social glue," says Richard Carpiano, assistant professor of sociology at the University of British Columbia. "The wonderful smells from a kitchen become the main attraction at any gathering."
Carpiano says interest in what's cooking attracts a crowd in any culture and is a social activity that prompts interaction between guests and hosts. Psychologically, nothing attracts people to an area more than a crowd.
A large gathering at a party makes it easier for newcomers to mingle and feel comfortable meeting other partygoers.
"It takes the edge off the individual," says Carpiano, who has attended more than a few large family gatherings. "They can be introduced to new people in an informal social setting where they don't feel they are the centre of attention."
Usually the host or hostess are the people all the guests know and the primary reason that everybody is together. Naturally, every guest would like to chat with the host at least once during a party. They gravitate toward the kitchen because it is the place where the host usually can be found, preparing food and drinks for the party. Guests who want to offer their help with small chores end up in the kitchen, as well.
The kitchen is usually the first stop for every new guest as they arrive with food or drinks. Even if they are socializing in another room, people often return to the kitchen to refresh their drinks and pick up more food. For the duration of the party, it becomes the hub of activity and a good place for anyone wishing to meet and greet every party attendee over the course the evening.
"The kitchen has become the entertainment core of the house," says Jenny Martin, principal designer of Jenny Martin Design. "It's where people want to hang out because it's where they feel the most comfortable."
The open concept layout of newer houses also contributes to the rise in popularity of the kitchen. It's no longer the private domain of one person.
In older homes, the kitchen was a poky little room, tucked away at the back of the house, and guests generally stayed out of the way. A century ago, in affluent homes, the kitchen would have been the domain of a domestic servant.
Today, the "servants" are electric appliances, and the walls around the kitchen have come down. This allows guests see what's going on in the food preparation area even if they are in another "room" in the living area of the home.
Modern kitchens are frequently located adjacent to the family room or sitting area. This layout allows the homeowner to keep an eye on children when preparing a meal.

Introducing myself and my journal: My work is my life, my mission.
About Me:
I was born in a sleepy hometown I considered paradise in my childhood years. It's a place where everybody knows everybody, where people outside home is the bigger family. Until Martial Law was declared and resistance sprang out around us. I never experienced being caught in an armed conflict because I live in a place which is strongly secured by a big military contingent. So being, my tales of woe never landed in the news. My plight is something that has never been talked about because I was "not a victim". And then the word "collateral damage" that was invented much much later struck me. That was my label.
I saw fully armed men, war tanks, fighter jets and all the ingredients of war around me ... but I never knew what war was like because there never was any war in my place. But it was in my homeland where the attacks and counter attacks were hatched and implemented. And, yes, it was my own "safe and secure" place that hosted evacuees from our war-torn neighborhood.
With the victims we suffered the same plight. The resources which used to be more than enough for all of us constituents proved to be dismally inadequate. It was imperative to share our homes, our homeland, and everything there is to share because the evacuees had no homes to go back to. One day I woke up to find I had no more slippers to wear ... no more place in the river to bathe ... and worse, I had to join the long queue each time for two (2) kilograms of rice, our staple food. But the world does not see my plight because I don't get wounded in the war, I do not have to leave my house and seek shelter somewhere else, and I don't have to scramble out of my dignity to survive a trauma. In short, I am not a victim. But I went hungry, thirsty, tired and wanting all the time. In fact, school closed early because the buildings were used as evacuation centers. It was a most inconvenient life and I was only a teenager. But it was at that time that I learned to dream and pursue it.
I now hold a Master's degree in Business Administration. I finished the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Accountancy through a state scholarship grant. I spent the early years of my career in the corporate world. However, for the last eight years I have engaged myself in a turnaround journey to where my dream was born. I am now working for peace and sustainable development in my own homeland. Whatever it is that I can share, I will give it my best shot ... for whatever it takes, for all it is worth.

In "Through the Tunnel," what is the symbolism of these settings: the wild beach, the safe beach, and the tunnel?
1 Answer | Add Yours
In Doris Lessing's "Through the Tunnel", the two beaches symbolize the two parts of Jerry that are in conflict. The safe beach, where his mother relaxes, represents the safety and maternal protection Jerry experienced as a child. The wild beach represents the part of Jerry that wishes to break away from his mother's sheltering watch and become more independent. It is at the wild beach that he sees the boys swimming through an underwater tunnel, and he decides to prove himself so that he can feel a sense of "belonging" to a group of peers, even though he never actually joins in with them. He sees what they can do, and he challenges himself, through intense self-training, to be like them. The tunnel represents Jerry's Rite of Passage as he moves from childhood toward becoming more independent.

Stadium Issue Hits Front Burner This WeekPosted by on October 16, 2011 – 12:28 pm
For the last few months, the stadium issue in Minnesota may have been background noise to the casual Vikings fans. But that will change this upcoming week.
With meetings scheduled between Governor Mark Dayton and State Legislators as well as the NFL coming into town to assess the stadium situation, you'll see a lot here on vikings.com, in the newspapers and on national and local news casts about the immediate future of plans for a new stadium in Arden Hills.
The Vikings don't play until 7:30 p.m. CT tonight, so we thought now is a good time to get a head start in thinking about the upcoming week's developments on this issue. As this opinion piece in the Pioneer Press states, now is the time to act on the Arden Hills stadium plan. It's the only solution that works for the State, the County, the team and Vikings fans.
What Can Vikings Fans Do To Help?
– Contract Legislative leaders by clicking here and tell them to support a Fall Special Stadium to ensure the Vikings long term future in Minnesota.
– Follow Minnesota Momentum on Facebook and Twitter
– Stay informed on the issue by logging on to vikings.com and Minnesota Momentum, and also by clicking on the links below…

Dryes, go back to Cheesehead country where you belong. We don't like your kind here.
By Mike B. on Oct 16, 2011 | Reply
@Dryes they have already did clean up studies on the site and cost to route traffict to Arden Hills. The spot has enough room to provide parkiing for all the fans and have true tailgating. It's going to be a great venue and will provide MN the ability to host the superbowl, the NCAA finals, and even possibly the NBA finals. Your spelling is really bad. All the fans want a state of the art facility to enhance the game experience. It's just on the north end of the metroplex are you too lazy to drive there?

I cannot improve upon what Dryes just said– he hit the nail on the head!
By Titus on Oct 16, 2011 | Reply
Justin, the man is allowed to voice his view. Dryes does speak for a lot of people, and it is a valid point. After all, knowing the level of money involved, any "study" can say whatever the powers want them to say. The level of toxicity at that site, seeping into the ground for decades, would have me concerned. What is the half-life of the chemicals at that site? It may not be safe, but is downtown any safer?
I personally like the energy of downtown. I would like to see the stadium near the river close to downtown. Go to the game and then see a play at the Guthrie.

My apologizes. I think the Vikings are dead-set on having alot of land to themselves, thus why Arden Hills is out in the suburbs away from congestion. I think the Vikings will accept anything as long as they get their stadium.

only radioactive materials have half lives. my understanding is this facility did conventional explosives. That would mean lots of potasium or nitrate based chemicals not unlike agricultrual chemicals which can be used as explosives. The chemical clean up can be costly but can be done. Radioactive material and waste is stored in secure locations. We don't want terrorist to get a hold of any of this including the waste.
By Titus on Oct 16, 2011 | Reply
Come on Mike– I am trying to support Dryes' argument. Half-life is not exclusively used for radioactive elements, although it is its predominant application. Then again, you look at what happened at Love Canal– I don't believe those toxins were radioactive.

I"m a life-long Vikes fan, and I'm a little fed up with them at the moment as well as the ownership. Minneapolis is a central location and the economic effects of the 8 games played there plus the other attractions that could be booked would be profound. The Wilfs are in the real estate biz and I think that is why they have bought the vikes. I predict that if they build the stadium in A. HIlls that they will subsequently sell it to the highest bidder if it generates the greatest profit for the Wilf biz. We need local ownership and that is where the Fudge-packers got it right. The city owns the team and the income generated thus helps the city while the owners have a direct investment in the team. And, yes, some Vikes fans need to pull their heads out! There are so many extremely opinionated Minnesotans ( liberal and conservative) who hold on to the idea that we must oppose the opposite at all costs. I'm sad to say that I'm glad I now live in CO due to the more positive vibes and open minds.
By Dryes on Oct 16, 2011 | Reply
Does anyone think the Vikes "Suck for Luck'? If so maybe they ARE moving to LA? Pure speculation of course. Btw, I won my 5th grade spelling bee, which is a lot more than can be said for the reactionary redneck above:) LOL. I WOULD fly out to see the Vikes kick some a55 in Minneapolis, though, and go out to celebrate in a FUN environment afterwards. Where do they party in A HIlls? Does anybody really know? I hope I'm wrong and that its a riot out there if they build it. I'm thinking the players and fans would like the atmosphere of Minneapolis better. Lets kick some a55 tonight!!!!

Probably hundreds of people have input into the draft. If Spielman, Studwell, or Brzesinski say, "we should pick this great qb," doesn't that have impact?
How do you justify the picking of only 8 offensive linemen in the last 9 years?
In addition NONE of those offensive linemen picked are ANY GOOD ! ! !
The Vikings are LOSING more because of the porous offensive line than any other reason.
By Titus on Oct 16, 2011 | Reply
I have to agree with Dryes– I like downtown energy much better. Reading Dryes and DRS tell how much happier they are in their new locations drives home the fact I need to move and get out of this state. I heard CO is great for cycling.

Yeah, Titus, since i left Minneapolis and moved to CO it has been a steady increase of bliss, self-growth and love for life. Its usually sunny, there are cyclists everywhere ( I used to a lot as well), and its so easy to have a good time. For me, its like paradise versus an okay place to live. There WAS a lot that I enjoyed in MN, but its great to be elsewhere. Of course I live in Boulder, where there's something for everyone and beauty all around all year long! I used to do those same kind of rides through floods, storms, winds, ice, snow, subzero temps and I notice that in those conditions our bodies posture changes as does our patterns of joy and love for life because we go into protection mode. I didn't realize it until I got away from it. Happy riding.

Mike Wobschall,
I agree with you 100% that the fans do not know how the Vikings manage to make their genius decisions for the draft.
Pray tell…how do they pick only 8 OLinemen in 9 years??? Perhaps my knowledge is lacking, don't they use 5 guys on the Offensive Line?
And then explain to US MORONs how NONE of those linemen are good NFL players?
By Dryes on Oct 16, 2011 | Reply
I agree, Frederick, its starts with the line and you build off of it. It might not be 100%, but its darn close. When we had our best offensive years we also had great o-lines. Granted we have had some other challenges to address this year, but how many picks have we wasted on long shots and unsound investments. If we can trade Berrian one of our lineman for an upgrade, we should do it! We have too many great pieces to waste on poor coaching and management.

Missed draft picks can CRUCIFY a ball club.
All I did was check the 2005 draft and this is what I found:
The Vikings selected Troy Williamson with their 7th pick
and Erasmus James with their 18th pick.
Among the people we could have selected instead:
Defensive Backs: Antrel Rolle, and Carlos Rogers !
Linebackers: DEMARCUS WARE AND SHAWN MERRIMAN
Wide Receiver: Roddy White
Quarterbacks: AARON RODGERS and Jason Campbell
….Mind you we could have drafted ANY TWO of these guys !
Now OFFENSIVE LINEMEN THE VIKINGS COULD HAVE SELECTED IN 2005:
Guard David Baas has started 58 of 96 NFL games, and started the
the first 4 games for the powerful NY Giants team in 2011 ! ! !
Tackle Michael Roos has started 101 of 101 NFL games !
Center Chris Spencer 74 of 85 starts, including the first 4 Bears games up to the time of Pro Football Reference records !
Tackle Jamal Brown…I didn't look him up, but I have heard he is a starter
in the NFL.
Oh, sure other teams also missed some of these people. But there were
four (4) Offensive Linemen that would start for the current 2011 MN Vikings!!!!!!

Dryres –I was born out east and my whole family is from the east– I have always felt MN to be a place of — good enough– Thanks for the insight. I agree. OMG– just for fun I looked up weather in Boulder, CO. The avg high is coldest late Dec– Jan– at 46 above zero. You can cycle year round (especially if you come from a place like MN).

Titus-….and the sun feels really warm even when it is cold out. The vitamin D from the sun is known to be a big factor on mood and outlook. Oh and the skiing is fantastic compared to the icy slopes of MN and east coast. I've cycled up hills out here that make one's thighs feel like they will explode! The ride down is epic and makes it rewarding too. Sometimes I take the bus up to Nederland ( 28 mi up the canyon 3300 Ft elevation gain or so) and then mtn bike around there and ride the 28 mi downhill back to Boulder afterwards. There's so much to enjoy out here if you're a cyclist, hiker, active and fun!

I am outta here! I have been saying that for years, but listening to you (Dryes) and DRS, MN transplants, I remember how much a location has its own spiritual atmosphere— get me outta here!!!

FYI to those who think Jerry Jones funded his new stadium entirely:
Originally estimated to cost $650 million, the stadium's current construction cost was $1.15 billion,[14] making it one of the most expensive sports venues ever built. To aid Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones in paying the construction costs of the new stadium, Arlington voters approved the increase of the city's sales tax by 0.5 percent, the hotel occupancy tax by 2 percent, and car rental tax by 5 percent. The City of Arlington provided over $325 million (including interest) in bonds as funding,[14][15] and Jones covered any cost overruns. Also, the NFL provided the Cowboys with an additional $150 million loan, as per their policy for facilitating financing for the construction of new stadiums.[16]

Wow! After the coaching of this game, I think the legislature should take 5 minutes to say absolutely not! What a clown outfit we have coaching this group. Frazier is not a head coach. We call timeout with 4 seconds to go so we can do an inside handoff. We're married to McNabb and Berrian and their performance is regrettable. To think Berrian is skipping team meetings with his lofty stats. Cut Berrian, bench McNabb, release Sully if he can't do more than snap a ball. He could try to block someone, which would be nice. I only watch this clown outfit waiting for the "Dungy disciple" to get his first clue and play Webb, or put Ponder in.

Ponder needs to start. Our yards after catch improved when he came in. Frazier can't coach this team to beat any division foes, so you start the season 0-6. Now you have to win the other 10. Spielman should go. He enjoys getting the genious tag. 6-10 and now 1-5 with that kind of genious it's hard to argue with how he keeps his job. It's a tough economy, I bet we'd have 100 better applicants within 15 minutes of being shown the door.

If the Pack rolls 40 + points on the Vikes next Sunday, their ought to be a shake up. Aromashadu get's separation, Berrian doesn't. When your center snaps the ball deep in your own end and goes hard right without touching a defender, it's time to open that position up. Our safeties are poor and play finesse football. Look at what Lovie Smith did. He benched both safeties for poor play. Jaymar Johnson will never be very good, and don't even get me started on Asher Allen….. What is Frazier's dominant strength that anyone has seen in him. He's the same way, win or lose. THat's fine as long as we get to see the winning side more than the losing. He can't coach with a big lead, he does his best coaching on Tuesday nights, but the Vikings don't play any scheduled games on Tuesday night.
