Been here twice. Clean and comfortable, good breakfast and great price for four stars!
Wish breakfast was more diverse. Perjaps scrambled eggs and bacon.
One side of the bed was not comfortable causing back pain the next morning so we had to sleep on one side.
- no hot water - quite dirty - cold room - very noisy and old heating system which did not make any difference.
The hotel's location is close to Stazione Termini, and one can reach the centre within 20mins from hotel. Very comfortable, clean and serves a good bfast.
No tea / coffee facilites in the room.
Some hotel's staff was not helpful and rude. The bed was really uncomfortable and it gave both me and my partner rashes on our body. The wifi was horrible. It did not work properly at all. We asked for our breakfast to be packed away as we were leaving really early and what they packed up was absolutely unacceptable for a 4 star hotel and definitely not worth the money we spent. If you are thinking to go here, don't go you'll regret it
The staff were very obliging and helpful
The hotel itself was run-down and the breakfasts were not that good
The location The room size
The room needed maintenance, the bottom of the bedroom door had missing pieces, one light in the bathroom was hanging out of the hole. The bathtub was a bit dirty ( the hydro massage). The TV wasn't fully working. The plugs were located in awkward position, we had to move the furniture to get them in.
Good matress, wireless works fine, good location
Warm shower is limited to 3 minutes or so, after which it gets cold
Location was great.
Bathroom wasn't cleaned, only changed the towels. Wifi is horrible & the staff wasn't too concerned about the issue. Bed was comfortable at all.
The breakfast room on the 7th floor with a view of rooftops was very nice with a good selection, though staff were not friendly. The wifi worked quickly and well. Location is very good.
Cold water = definite negative. Even after running 8-12 minutes both sink and shower never got more than slightly warm. Front desk said this was a problem often, he did not know why it happens, but they obviously are not planning to fix. Front desk overall not helpful or friendly at all. Bed was just a sheet directly on the mattress, whoa.
Location and cleanliness.
Water leaking through the ceiling throughout the night. Perhaps you should consider hiring a plumber who doesn't mind cleaning the shower drains on a regular basis.
close to my places of interest
it is rather shabby and certainly does not qualify for four starts
Location was good , hotel was clean with safe surroundings . Staff was quite helpful & ofcourse value for money.
The room I felt was too small , but i guess since it was to be single room , could have been slightly bigger.
Location. Close to Termini Train station, Restaurants. Shops and 20 minutes walk to the Colosseum. The Rooftop that have a lovely semi panoramic view where you can also eat your breakfast.. The lovely Breakfast and the breakfast staff. Close access to the Lift.
The WiFi was very poor on the 5th floor where we stayed. It not even connecting to the smart phone properly, this affected our internet business. The twin bed that was Joined together. We requested for a double bed and they never even bothered to attend to our request. The Cracked Wallpaper. The bathroom cubicle is very small that is not suitable for a 6 foot person as they will be unable to bend and wash their feet. There is no refrigerator the drinks in it was at room temperature The worn-out wardrobe and mirror. they need to upgrade and get new furniture.
-Matrases of the bad was terrible. The bad was bended. We had to switch rooms. -In our first room heater was broken, so it was really hot. And when you open a windows, we heard some generator sound buzzing all night. Also the toilet broke in the first room. -Internet is REALLY slow, basically, there is no wifi at all. -Breakfest was good, but not 4 star hotel level. -Overall condition of the hotel is really bad. I don't suggest you to take this hotel. Better take 3 star hotel with the same price. This is defenetely not a 4 star hotel.
Central to both railway station and centre of town. Good all round hotel.|
Proximity to Main Train Station.
Rooms, bed, internet, food. There was no functioning temperature control and we were boiling in our rooms. Don't stay in room 623.
Helpfull reception desk
The room was not ready when I arived at 18.00 hrs. The shower was icecold - no warm water!
The location is very good.
The water pressure in the shower is little
Good location, amazing hospitality, good service.
The electricity connection wouldnt allow anyone to use the plug while the lights are off, so you wont be able to charge any of your devices at night and sleep, one busy elevator and the other one you have to go another 10 steps on the stairs to find it behind, food was good but no toaster, i hope you raise your standerds and take all these bad opinions seriously.
the facilities are old. needs renovation. the staff at the lobby doesn't know how to smile.
The location is great. Helpful staff. The terrace is perfect! Rooms are clean, breakfasts are good.
No iron.
near the train station breakfast on the patio close to restaurants
safe didn't work and nobody fixed it only italian channels on TV few toiletries for a 4 star many features in poor state, safe and shower door needed fixing, bed was 2 cots on a wire frame needed updating

Hi there,
I live in Holland near the city Leiden. I fly at a naval airforce base so taking a look at the place where I fly will be a bit difficult. I don't know a lot of hobbyshops but you can take a look at http://start.modelvliegen.com/ But I'm afraid it's in Dutch. Look at "Modelvliegwinkels" for hobbyshops in Holland. Clubs can be found at http://www.airtoi.com/ It's a bit difficult to navigate on this site but i'll try to explain. -Click on "Clubs" (top bar) -Click on "NL + B" (Holland + Belgium) in the left menu bar Now you can do a search for clubs. You can select a part of Holland where to search at the "provincie" pulldown menu. Leave the text "allemaal" in the "clubnaam" menu. - Now click "start zoeken" et voila. A number of clubs will appear. Good luck and enjoy your stay in Holland, Paul Ravensbergen |

Hi Jordan,
Here you'll find another list of clubs, these clubs are member of the KNVvL (Royal Dutch Aeronautical Society): www.modelvliegsport.nl Click 'clubs' for a list or 'kaart' (Engl. chart/map). Hover the pointer over the map and you'll see a club location. Information on that club in frame at bottom of page. There's an RC flying club near Schiphol. I stumbled across it last summer. Go on the A4, direction 'Den Haag', take exit 'Hoofddorp/Aalsmeer'. Turn right at end of exit, onto the N201, direction 'Aalsmeer'. At the next (non A4 related) traffic lights turn right, direction 'Rijsenhout'. After about 500 meters you'll see a little abandoned house (concrete slabs) on the right and then a farm. The airfield is behind the farm. Schiphol control tower knows about this location, and has no objections. I think it's a disaster waiting to happen, it's too close to the A4 and Schiphol for my taste.. You'll found maps depicting the route to my club Cumulus (near Nijmegen) at http://home.hetnet.nl/~ronvans/. |

PROPHECY BOOTCAMP: "The Millennial Kingdom: A Rebellious Youth Movement and the End of Satan" from Dr. Tim LaHaye
In spite of the ideal conditions arranged by God to attract a maximum number of people to accept His free gift of salvation by receiving His Son, many will rebel at the end of the 1,000-year kingdom. Revelation 20 indicates that at the end of the 1,000 years, Satan will be loosed from the bottomless pit to go out "to deceive the nations" — that is, to tempt them to rebel against God. The reason God allows this to happen is so that all the unsaved people living on the earth will be forced to make a decision about whether they will receive Christ before God establishes the eternal order. We have already seen that these unsaved will be people under l00 years of age, according to Isaiah 65:20, for only believers will live past their hundredth birthday.

Leather Gardening Gloves
By 0pini0nated
from Philadelphia, PA
Best Uses
Comments about One Stop Gardens Full Grain Leather Gardening Gloves:
I have large hands, and "one-size-fits-all" gloves don't fit me! THESE gloves are very large (extra-large?) unlined leather gloves. I buy about 8 ~ 10 pair per year, and use them for general yard work & mowing, warm-weather motorcycle riding, and all-around-the-house leather gloves. When they look too dirty to use, I wash them in mild soap, wring them out to dry, then start use 'em again. If they're too grungy / torn / unstitched, they're cheap enough to throw them away with no regrets.

Pirate Attack
Yes, Oceanographers Can Help Predict Piracy Attacks
The US Naval Meteorology & Oceanography Command named a 2013 Computerworld Honors Laureate for its counter-piracy predictive modelling. The Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (NAVMETOCCOM) received the award for a modeling capability developed by Naval oceanographers at Stennis Space Center that predicts the likelihood of pirate attacks. IDG's Computerworld Honors Program selected NAVMETOCCOM as a 2013 Laureate in the field of Safety and Security for its development of its Pirate Attack Risk Surface (PARS). The PARS model produces a forecast of shipping vulnerability due to piracy at a certain latitude, longitude, and time. A few short months before Somali pirates hijacked the U.S.-flagged MV Maersk Alabama in 2009, NAVMETOCCOM operators were asked to assist in the fight against piracy, which had been on the rise in the Somali Basin due to government instability in the region. Pirate attacks are a threat to the United States' national security and foreign policy, and they impact maritime safety, disrupt shipping and ultimately cost the world's economy billions of dollars annually. Within two weeks, the command had developed the framework of the first-generation Piracy Performance Surface (PPS) model, which produced maps of probability of attack based on how environmental conditions influenced pirate small boat operations.

Piracy: Attacks Getting Bigger, Bolder

McQuilling Services, LLC, marine transport advisors, released a message addressing the economic impact of pirate attacks on tankers.

A new study, released by the Robert R. McCormick Foundation and the National Conference on Citizenship, compares the civic health of Illinois Millennials (residents 18-29), with their national peers. The data reveals that Illinois youth are slightly outpacing the national averages on such indicators as making donations and participating in political discussions.
They fall near the bottom, however, on key forms of participation such as voting in local elections and neighborhood engagement. This information allows the Foundation to pinpoint areas for growth and help identify strategies to encourage young citizens to be more engaged.

Actor's Eilat hotel horror
October 25, 2012
Follow The JC on Twitter
Follow The JC on Twitter
One establishment that actor Richard E.Grant (right) is unlikely to revisit in his new Sky Atlantic series on top hotels is the one he once stayed at in Eilat.
"The smell was bad, the hotel wasn't finished, the food was a buffet that looked like it had been hanging around for five days," he recalled in a Times interview.
And then when he returned to Tel Aviv, "I was strip-searched at the airport with a torch shone up my bum because I only had diving gear with me and they accused me of being a spy that had come from Egypt into Israel."

Your AgentA successful purchase starts with the right representative. In fact, once you've selected the best agent to represent you, it is likely that he or she can recommend other professionals to join your team, taking more of the responsibility off of your shoulders.
Lender (Appraiser)A bank is not just a bank. Having the right backer can be extremely important – it is your money we're talking about after all! Make sure that your lender and financial representative is someone with whom you feel comfortable, and be wary of any lender who promises you more than you think you can reasonably afford. Your lenders may or may not require an independent appraisal, and typically will make arrangements for the appraisal themselves.
LawyerYour home purchase is far too important a transaction to skimp on legal representation at the risk of leaving yourself open to costly future issues. Find a lawyer who is willing to take the time to answer your questions and who specializes in real estate law.
Home InspectorNo home inspection is 100% guaranteed, but a few hundred dollars to catch a major problem now is certainly better than many thousands to correct that 'surprise' down the road. Ask your agent for a recommendation.
ContractorPlanning some renovations? You're not the only one! The home renovation industry is booming, and in some markets, booking a contractor must be done months in advance (that's a long time to go without a kitchen). Don't let finding the right contractor slip through the cracks – planning ahead will almost certainly make your renovation smoother, and you contractor will appreciate the advance notice.
1. Find the right representativeEven if you're not quite ready to buy, your buyer's agent can be an absolute wealth of information, and can often offer 'scoops' on local developments you might not have know about otherwise. Speak to your agent first and he or she can be helping to guide you right from the start.
2. Find out what your price range isOnline mortgage calculators are a good place to start, but as you get closer to being ready to buy, there is no substitute for a written mortgage pre-approval. Just speaking to your lender is an extremely worthwhile venture – this is the only way to really get an in-depth picture of your overall financial picture and to discover exactly what you can reasonably afford to spend on a home (and possibly on renovating).
3. Find out what your local market looks likeThe internet can be incredibly valuable in doing preparatory research. Start with your agent – he or she can direct you to valuable resources and immediately start e-mailing you real estate listings that may interest you (or at least give you a better idea of what your needs and wants are).
4. Find out what your true needs and wants areCompose a needs/wants list that takes into consideration your local market conditions, your price range, and the advice of your real estate agent.
5. Find your dream home!Once you're ready to act, you may be surprised by how quickly you can make a decision. Armed with your pre-approval, a little market knowledge, and your needs/wants list, call your real estate agent, hit the pavement, and when you see 'the house', put in an offer.
With the right team behind you, it really can be that easy!
Let us help you find out what you can afford! Our mortgage calculator will help you determine loan amounts, mortgage qualification, or whether you should be renting or buying.

Contest aimed at saving local drive-ins all over the country
By: Kerri Corrado
JOHNSTOWN, Pa.
"We were underdogs and probably still are," Silver Drive-In Managing Partner Rick Rosko said.
Many people hoping these underdogs will come out on top.
Silver Drive-In was given a second chance at winning a new digital projector after a nationwide contest was extended a few more days.
"Crossing my fingers, praying, begging friends and family to get the vote out," Rosko said.
It all started after Honda created "Project Drive-In," an attempt to help drive-ins all over the country stay open since the conversion from film to digital costs big bucks, a good $80,000.
"Even though 35mm is still relevant and we put on a good picture, it is too expensive to make for Hollywood," he said.
Many Drive-Ins can't afford the switch and their only hope to stay open is to win the contest.
Managing Rick Rosko says he is confident that Silver Drive-In has a chance.
It is full of memories since 1950, one that many want to see stay open.
"A lot of memories. It is iconic. It is Americana at its best." He added.
But time is running our and many votes are still needed. Voting ends Saturday.
To vote go to www.projectdrivein.com.

Shans celebrate National Day
Not too far from Thailand's northern border yesterday, Shans, or Thai Yai as they are known here, gathered for their national day.
It was the 66th anniversary of Shan National Day and the first time the Shans have been able to hold such an event publicly after sealing a truce with the Myanmar government last year.
After years of war against the Myanmar government, the Shan State army is highly experienced.
The Shan state has its own army and it played a prominent role in yesterday's celebrations, parading and showing off its readiness if the conflict with the Myanmar government resumes.
The current peace is an uneasy one and the Myanmar forces are still in combat with other groups, most notably the Kachin.
The 17 year-old ceasefire between the Kachin Independence Army and Myanmar's government broke down in June 2011.
In his speech to the National Day crowd yesterday, Shan State army leader General Yawd Serk called for peace with all parties.
Speaking in Thai, he said "We do not agree with the Myanmar government fighting with the Kachin. You can't have reconciliation just because you stop fighting with one group but continue fighting with another. If the government wants peace, they have to stop fighting with every group."

great office item susy-new york girl from garden city, NY– Verified Buyer I bought this printer stand for a small office space that doubles as an eating area. I can pull it out when needed and it stows away and out of sight when company comes over. It was easy to assemble and the storage area below is roomy for storing paper for a printer.

Hyung Koo Kang: Engrave Period | 2013. 11. 8(FRI) - 12. 29(SUN) Venue | ARARIO GALLERY Seoul Time | 11:00-19:00 (Closed on Monday) Opening Reception | 8th November 2013, 6 pm Arario Gallery hosts the solo exhibition of Kang Hyung Ku (b. 1954~), entitled "Engrave" from November 8th to December 20th, 2013. This exhibition is the first solo exhibition since the large-scale retrospective exhibition at Singapore's Contemporary Art Museum, taking place in Seoul. Exhibited works comprise 13 new pieces and 20 drawings. Hyung Koo Kang has been known as a portrait artist using photorealistic techniques. But in this exhibition, he is attempting to capture the spirit or essence of the age, engraved in the faces of specific characters in the portraits under the overarching theme of "Engrave." As the artist himself had noted, that he "intends to represent the social atmosphere of the time through the genre of portraits," the exhibition consists of various portraits that range from East to West, and past to present. Especially, "The Portrait of Yoon Du-seo," which is a reinterpretation of the self-portrait of artist Yun Du-seo from the Joseon period, is the key piece in this exhibition that vividly expresses Kang's artistic vision.

Song Cycle
The many lives of 'Jerusalem of Gold,' an Israeli anthem
In May 1967, at the annual Israel Music Festival in Jerusalem, a song was born. Singing to a live and radio audience of millions, Shuli Natan debuted "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav," or "Jerusalem of Gold." With elegiac music and patriotic lyrics by Naomi Shemer (with a sentence or two borrowed from Yehuda Halevi), it immediately won the hearts of many in the audience; three weeks later, after the Six-Day War and the unification of Jerusalem under Israeli rule, the song gained the status of a near-national anthem. On Jerusalem Day, celebrated this year on May 12, it's inescapable. But the song has its detractors, and it comes with some surprising historical baggage. Tablet Magazine's Liel Leibovitz tells the story.
South Lebanon Army soldiers fought alongside IDF troops in their country and followed them south when Israel withdrew. Now they're waiting for a chance to go home.
"Rich and strange," that captures it doesn't it? Seriously though, it's a moving song and it does tap into the prevalent mood Israelis have had for decades: this is our capital, united forever, eternal. Even secular people feel that way to some extent, at least in the geopolitical sense of having an undivided capital city. But politics aside, it's a good song. Do we doubt that the people of the other monotheistic faiths see J'ru in such a transcendent way? If you think I'm not being properly chauvinistic, well, not my problem.
I have had problems with this song for over 40 years. It is a great work of art but it has a strong political content, with which I disagree. How can we go down to the Dead Sea by the Jericho road without holding onto the occupied territories? The song cemented the connection between religion and military triumph that led to the settlement endeavour. I love and hate the song.
So let me get this straight, just because a believing Jew was thought of his city as desolate because he could not have access to the temple mount he is a racist, but it was ok for Arabs to massacre the Jewish inhabitants of East Jerusalem in 1947.
This another attempt to delegitimize Jewish identity and values.
Martin- After all, don't forget how the Arabs have pined for Jerusalem, Hebron,etc. since the time of Mohammed as they bow and pray towards Mecca. You, my firend, are a self-hating Jew. Have someewish pride. What the hell are you afraid of!
Many of the melodies that we think of as miSinai, or as the essential melodies of our tradition have been borrowed from other cultures. It is not surprising that Shemer was influenced by a Basque folk melody, and it only reinforces the long established tradition of melodic borrowing and reshaping.
I was in Jerusalem in 1966-67 as a "junior-year abroad" student, and listened to the song festival on my transistor radio, alone in my dorm room. Like everyone, I was simply stunned by Shuly Nathan's plain, unadorned performance of this hauntingly beautiful new song. Though it was not entered in the competition, the song floated high above everything else presented that night. I bought and still have the single that was issued some weeks later (after the war?), but to my disappointment it was a subsequent studio recording that lacked a quality I thought I remembered from the original live performance — perhaps an ethereal, wispy quavering in the voice, unless that was just the tone of my cheap little radio. I never thought I would hear that performance again, until this podcast came along. (Where is the live recording archived, and how can one obtain it?) As for the words, which certainly were a great part of the song's power, I think the anachronistic criticism of their "politics" misses the point that it was originally not about the actual Jerusalem across the border in Jordan, but about the mythic Jerusalem of Jewish dreamers in exile. Hence the references to Yehuda Halevi, and the fittingness of the sad melody. Nobody could have imagined in May 1967 that the Old City would ever become accessible to Jews again. Even we living then in the sleepy little town of western Jerusalem, with its still pristine mountain air, on the quiet edge of no-man's land, felt permanently exiled from the historical Yerushalayim, and were understandably oblivious to the daily lives of its unknowable Jordanian inhabitants. That was the sense in which the song spoke, as in Lamentations, of the city being desolate.
It's a wonderful song.
We translated this song into Arabic; we listen to it every day from 1967 till now.
Yesterday may grandmother told me, when she was playing in Jerusalem in the old city, in 1937 in her childhood, it was glorious city, the sun was shiny, her grandfather owned a small restaurant for Hummus and Falafel, she told me there were too many people visited it from inside Palestine and from the outside, she told me because they were living in a home near the Dome of the Rock, and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, there were visitors from all over the world and from all the religions, she told me that in 1967 the Jews destroyed her neighbors houses and exiled her and her family to Jordan, after few years the Jews closed her Grandfather restaurant, she told me that some day she and her sister visited her remained relatives in the old city, her tears reached her chin, when she saw a Jews people settled in her child hood house, she told me I felt a pain in my throat that I want to cry but I can't, it's the feel when you see your home and you can't enter it.
Thus we translated this song into Arabic; we listen to it every day from 1967 till now. Now it's a destroyed city, now it's an empty, nobody comes to the "temple" mount, that when my grandmother visited it there were no original peoples.
It captures a moment. Since then Jerusalem is no longer of gold but of bigoted Haredim, occupation with few right etc. It was destroyed before because of sinat chinam by JEWS against Jews and there are strong forces using words like self-hatred, and seething religious hatred of Muslims and other Jews who may cause it to be destroyed again. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Hi Jeffrey M Goldman,
Thank you for educating me as to my true nature. You clearly know me well. I am writing to you from my apartment in Israel, having recently fulfilled my lifelong zionist dream by taking Israeli citizenship. Perhaps, as a self-hating Jew, I should give this all up. Anyway, you have taught me another important lesson. This is the last on-line comment I will ever make. Your sinat chinam is too much for me.
Hey Martin —
Don't go away. There are others who take heart from your comments. I love the song, and I love the city, and I will admit to the lump in my throat and sometimes a tear when I hear it. But the occupation will drain much that has sustained us over these 2000 years, and will probably lead us into another period of exile. Sinat chinam indeed.
I think Shemer explained that the Old City and the Kotel, devoid of Jews, was a mournful place. The emptiness she referred to reflected this 19 year reality as well as the historically tenuous position of the Jews in their holiest city for the past 2000 years. You want to view this as a negation of the Muslim and Christian presence there? Go ahead if you must, but the joy felt at the reunification of Jerusalem had more to do with the notion that Jews were now completely free to worship in and have access to their most important city. The mourning over Jerusalem was over. That was the salient point of this song which never had anything to do with Arabs. Its prophetic spirit captured the period's zeitgeist perfectly and still resonates deeply to this very day.
We can't ignore the history, read the Middle East history between the medieval centuries and the end of the Ottoman Empire, you will certainly see the freedom of worshipping, but now a day you indeed see the Israeli armies disallowing the Arabs from worshipping inside the Al Aqsa Mosque, and almost the Christians suffer from the worshipping limitations.
Arabs never ever hated Jews, in history you can see that they worked together, to achieve their goals, they respected each other, and there was always a religious tolerance in the Arabic cities, till now.
There was no time Jerusalem was empty, dark, or destroyed city.
I Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, and for liberty of its people, including Jews, Christians, and Muslims, May God bliss this land.
To say that Arabs never hated Jews is denial to the extreme. Read the Qur'an. The Hadith and Covenant of Umar are prime example of Arab views and reflect Arab treatment of the dhimmie Jews and Christians. Reading of the distant past history mirrors the attitude and conduct of Arabs towards Jews in the more recent past.
The myth that Jews lived in an idyllic world in the muslim dominated Middle East depended entirely on the whim of the ruler. Those halcyon days were rare indeed.
The song and the artist age gracefully together: Last night I had the pleasure of hearing Shuli Natan perform at Shai Agnon's house in Jerusalem, as part of their Jerusalem Day celebration. She gave a lovely performance of songs about Jerusalem, some in Yiddish and some in Spanish. After an hour, she playfully thanked the audience for not having asked her to play "Jerusalem of Gold". She then performed her signature song, but failed to reach the high note on "Anu Kinor" at the end of the song! Undaunted, she sipped some water, and announced she would try again. This time the notes came out beautifully.
One of my favorite songs of all time, not only because of the beautiful lyrics, but because the melody of the verses – it always melts my heart.
I also must say I'm disappointed that you did not include any mention of what many consider to be the definitive version of the song, Ofra Haza's cover.
Thank you Liel for this very interesting contribution on a very beautiful song. Obviously there are ways of reading it's text in a mythical way, wich is alright, but also in ways contrasting it with the present situation after the war or even now. A lot of people in the discussion contributed to understanding both ways, thank you Martin, Quais and Ck especially. As for Mr. Goldmann, I don't know what to think of you! How is it, that your "Weininger-complex-detector" goes berserk every time somebody reflects on the condition of Jews or Israel in a more self-reflected or self-critical way? Who are you to be entitled to call everybody dissenting from your own position " self-hating Jews"? Read Yeshayahu Leibovitz- of blessed memory-, who himself a strictly observant Scholar on chemistry, medicine and Halakha was thoroughly repulsed by holding on to the Westbank, and spoke of the cult surrounding holy places in terms like the "diskotel". You may not subscribe to some thought others have, but discuss the subject not the people participating in the discussion. We are all deserving of a little more seykhel than calling each other derogative names!!!
I really enjoyed this podcast. I loved hearing about the development of the song, and also about its detractors. So interesting! Thank you!
In spite of its derivating from a certain basks lullaby, this song is for me concentration of the essence of Israel country character – nostalgic sleepy atmosphere of wide infinite hot Negev desert, misty dreaming Dead Sea, old heavy smell of tragic bloody Masada history, fragrant orange orchards under pricky slopes of thistles, grey racems of fruit on olive patriarchas in Getzeman Garden, burned lorries along the Jerusalaim road, the fingers of cypruses tuching the sky, beautiful girls with Negev in their ayes…… Eretz Israel is the wonderful country of wonderful people; this song sings about it – Israel is in the song – I see, feel, hear, smell, taste it there.

I expect that such a behavior would reduce the survival of theist off-spring, but might also crystalize the independence of thought and practical action in thoughs that survive. Rejection, while painful, can also motivate, the mother of invention and independence. Poor theists, they really could have taken over the world....
I escaped from my dysfunctional family to live a dysfunctional life all on my own when I was 18. I'm married with children, but except for a brother I never talk to, I'm without any of my family. I've been a loner most of my life. So it's been pretty easy for me to be whomever I wanted without disappointing the folks.
But I can imagine hearing such a thing from your father can be very hurtful. I really wish families weren't torn apart by the separating prejudice of religion just like the world is.
I sympathize with Mr. Andrews, and hope he's strong enough to not let it get him down.
Some of these religious theists are down right pathetic
I was nervous about telling my dad I'm atheist. But he's cool with it. His brother and him are the only two believers in the family. They've NEVER read the bible, and the real kicker is my uncle's gay.
Big no-no in the bible.
Seth's father is a Christian, responding according to the command of Jesus himself and the Christian gospel. Except that his father took part in Seth's wickedness by giving him the "Sorry, son" greeting.
"And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet." - Jesus of Nazareth (God incarnate), Mathew 10:14
"For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward. Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works." - 2 John 1:7-11
I expect this is where christians find a way to do 'false witness' against some one that does not hold their beliefs, burn a poor woman at the stake, take the property of a 'witch', or maybe even ignore the evidence of their own minds!

How To Become Cricket Umpire
While it may be challenging, there are steps you can take to figure out how to become a cricket umpire. Cricket umpires are responsible for knowing the ins and outs of the game of cricket and making sure the game runs smoothly. In contrast to other sports, the rules are not as easy to pick up and it may take you some time before you are able to develop sufficient knowledge of the game.
Here are the supplies you'll need:
- Computer with internet connection
- Official cricket rule book
- Application fees
- Enroll in an Introduction to Cricket Umpiring course in your region. Hopping on your computer and using a search engine to find the closest cricket umpire training program will probably be your best bet to find a program that will allow you to become a cricket umpire.
- Next, you will want to take the Official Cricket Umpiring Course. This course will require four hours of training per week for roughly sixteen weeks, so make sure you have the extra time to become a cricket umpire before diving in head first.
- After the 16 weeks, you will then be able to take the U.S. association's written exam. Pass the written exam to earn your preliminary license.
Throughout this process, it is essential that you familiarize yourself with the game of cricket to understand its intricacies and styles of play. After some time, you will find yourself catching onto the game and becoming enveloped in the passion of it. Remember, once you become a cricket umpire, always call a game fair regardless of what's at stake. Keeping an even keel and remaining objective should be your goals in any given situation.

communications satellite
Earth-orbiting system capable of receiving a signal (e.g., data, voice, TV) and relaying it back to the ground. Communications satellites have been a significant part of domestic and global communications since the 1970s. Typically they move in geosynchronous orbits about 22,300 mi (35,900 km) above the earth and operate at frequencies near 4 gigahertz (GHz) for downlinking and 6 GHz for uplinking.

In these mordant, elegant, and often disquieting essays, the internationally acclaimed dramatist creates a sort of autobiography by strobe light, one that is both mysterious and starkly revealing.The pieces in The Cabin are about places and things: the suburbs of Chicago, where as a boy David Mamet helplessly watched his stepfather terrorize his sister; New York City, where as a young man he had to eat his way through a mountain of fried matzoh to earn a night of sexual bliss. They are about guns, campaign buttons, and a cabin in the Vermont woods that stinks of wood smoke and kerosene — and about their associations of pleasure, menace, and regret.The resulting volume may be compared to the plays that have made Mamet famous: it is finely crafted and deftly timed, and its precise language carries an enormous weight of feeling.
"Enormous powers of observation...he has an ear for language."—LA Weekly
"A very worthwhile collection...Mamet walks a line between provocation and enticement, and its precariousness almost always compels attention."—Newsday
"A delight...there is a lean, masculine quality to his essays."—Baltimore Sun
