The first panel would have been sufficient by itself, wonderful line, Buck.
good find
Anyone interested may want to look at the wiki page for "monotremes", the egg-laying mammals.
Interestingly, they recently found a fossil platypus ancestor, the first one found. I'm guessing the platypus came from that, or from close kin to that. If the first creature to appear on earth were a fully formed platypus, you might have a point. As it is, you don't. That's one of basic the ideas behind evolution, you can trace that unbroken line back and back and back..
And yeah, mammals do lay eggs, very primitive mammals, like the platypus, say. -
No it doesn't.
Needs more caps.
I'm guessing it's two degrees in "science". I don't doubt the engineering degrees though…
If a vase appears in the first act…

Morris Brown Trustees Appoint Chemistry Professor as Acting President
Taylor, Charles E., Black Issues in Higher Education
Losing a bid to win back its accreditation, historically Black Morris Brown College is also losing its president. Dr. Charles E. Taylor, resigned a week after the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools released a letter denying the college's appeal to restore its accreditation.
Morris Brown's board of trustees last month accepted Taylor's resignation and appointed a chemistry professor, Dr. Leroy Frazier, as acting president of a school facing a debt of about $27 million.
SACS' decision disqualified students for federal financial aid. Nearly 90 percent of the private school's 2,500 students relied on that aid. Since first losing accreditation in December because of a lack of financial stability, only half the students enrolled in the fall actually attended the school (see Black Issues, April 24).
Morris Brown, which is affiliated with the African Methodist Episcopal Church, reduced its spring semester to just seven weeks so graduating seniors could earn degrees before the appeal.
Administrators have promised to keep the school open and reapply for accreditation. School officials said they have …

The challenge of providing the most efficient care at the lowest cost possible in the healthcare industry is likely to amplify in the coming years and decades. Population aging in the western world, ever more modernizing lifestyles in much of the developing societies, and the rise of unpredictable health epidemics, form the perfect storm for a dramatic increase in the demand for care against a backdrop of supply insufficiencies across the entire value chain from treatment facilities, to health personnel, to research skills, to shrinking public spending budgets.
While much of the answer lies in transforming the healthcare system from one focused on curing illnesses after they take place to one focused on preventing illness from happening in the first place, advances in the fields of bio-informatics, statistics-based targeted medicine, highly intelligent internet connected diagnostic devices, and wireless and mobile health apps that link patients to physicians, are all combining to usher in a radically different healthcare system focused on predictive care, personalised diagnostic and virtual treatment within bio-connected communities. INNOVENTURE EUROPE's Best of Breed selection will uncover opportunities across these fields and many others.

As resident graphic designer and multimedia developer at VMIX, I need a steady flow of inspiration to drive projects forward. Whether crafting a print layout, creating a new graphic or editing a video, I still encounter creative blocks now and then. Here are some tactics that I use to move beyond and battle those creativity gremlins.
1) Let Fashion Be Your PassionBeing a style fiend and a believer in the saying, "When you look good you feel good," I use my fashion sense as a way to express my creativity. It could be something as simple as a graphic t-shirt, a patterned tie or colorful shoes, because what you wear is another way to boost a dull day and make it exciting and fun. I like creating custom one-of-a-kind clothing like these sneakers I designed using my illustrations. The thrill I get from wearing something fun amps up my day. |
2) Make the Rudimentary Your DocumentaryI recommend carrying at least one digital camera and a moleskine notebook with you at all times, because you never know when you might come across something worth capturing. Put gratitude in your attitude and you'll find the mundane things that you encounter are amazing gifts in themselves. Take a phone photo of that amazing meal you had, keep a bedside notepad to record last night's dream, make a napkin sketch of that great idea over coffee with friends, or just make a video of your dogs playing. What you capture may nudge you to that next level in your creative pursuits. |
3) Be Proactive About Being ActiveThere's truth in the cliche that a sound body means a sound mind. You'll find "aha!" moments arise when your blood is pumping. Call it a runner's high or an adrenaline rush but connecting physically with your body usually results in clearing your head, leaving space for sweet creativity to flow. Exercising is easier when you do it with purpose, so park a bit further from the store, jog with a friend, or skateboard the lots, because you can! |
4) Be a Crafter of What Brings LaughterDraw a laugh-out-loud cartoon, tell a joke, take a webcam photo of yourself and goof it up. Appreciate the things that make you smile and, most importantly, share your own brand of crazy with others! Not only will your amusement generate happiness around you but when you feel good, you create good things! |
5) Change Your Point of View … Do Something New!When you introduce something new into your routine, you'll discover new perspectives and often solutions! Take a new route to work, try a restaurant you've overlooked, read a book on something you're dealing with to get a new perspective. Taking a short trip to a new neighborhood or a nearby town can be a mini vacation from your usual environment, and ideas and solutions flourish when you're in new situations. |
Good luck on your creative endeavors. Feel free to share more ideas in the comment section!

In what seemed like a step backward during a week-long standoff with the Chicago Public Schools after positive signs from both sides late last week, the Chicago Teachers Union on Sunday suspended a vote on whether or not to end its strike. Monday morning, more than 26,000 teachers and paraprofessionals will return to the picket lines while 350,000 children remain out of school.
Following a special meeting that included more than 800 CTU delegates, in which union president Karen Lewis shared the latest contract details, the group was supposed to commence the vote. "They're not happy with the agreement," Lewis said of the delegates. "They still want to know is there anything more than they can get."
According to Lewis, the contract being offered by the city is "still not quite finished in terms of language. We would like to go back to their members, have discussions with them. We will reconvene here on Tuesday."
In observance of Rosh Hashanah, the CTU will not meet Monday.
"We still want to have the opportunity to discuss it," Lewis said. "When you have expectations of democracy, then that's what happens."
Board of education president David Vitale expressed his discontent at the decision in a statement issued Sunday.
"We are extremely disappointed that after ten months of discussion, and reaching an honest and fair compromise, that the CTU has decided to continue their strike of choice and keep children out of the classroom," Vitale said.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel issued a statement Sunday saying, "I will not stand by while the children of Chicago are played as pawns in an internal dispute within a union. This was a strike of choice and is now a delay of choice that is wrong for our children." Emanuel continued, saying, "Every day our kids are kept out of school is one more day we fail in our mission: to ensure that every child in every community has an education that matches their potential."
Emanuel took immediate action and instructed the city's Corporation Counsel and the General Counsel of Chicago Public Schools to file an injunction in circuit court to end the strike. "This continued action by union leadership is illegal on two grounds," Emanuel said. "It is over issues that are deemed by state law to be non-strikable, and it endangers the health and safety of our children."
From Monday through the end of the strike, CPS's 147 "Children First" sites, as well as the city's parks and neighborhood organizations, will provide full-day services for children in need. "While the CTU continues to delay ending their strike, we will do whatever is needed to support parents and children…We all need to put our children first," Vitale said.

The Number 3 in preparing sermons, worship, Sunday School Lesson etc.
Carl Ellis
On 2/16/2011
The "Number 3" in preparing sermons, worship, Sunday School Lesson etc.
When we prepare for Sunday's worship, sermon, or Sunday school lesson we should:
Pray for God's Guidance
Study the scripture
Make sure our worship, sermon, S. S. lessons
are "reader" based not "writer" based.
I know, for many, "number 3" does not make any sense. What does reader and writer based prose mean? Please read on as we explore and consider one area preachers, musicians, worship leaders, S.S. teachers and the whole church need to consider when writing and delivering sermons, developing and leading worship, choosing and playing hymns for the congregation, and preparing and teaching a Sunday school lesson.
Have you ever read a book that was really dumb, boring, and uninteresting? The author of such a book is usually described as writing "writer based prose." He is writing for himself not for the audience. The author is more interested in stringing multi-syllable words and impressing everyone with his or her knowledge than making sure the readers gets the story/message. On the other hand, when we read a book that is bright, exciting, and interesting the author's writing is described as "reader based prose." The author wants to make sure that the reader "get's it," whatever "it" is.
I wonder if we who write sermons, develop worship, choose hymns, and prepare Sunday school lessons need to consider our audience. Just as most people will not continue reading a book that is dull they will not sit though a worship service, sermon, music or SS lessons that are dull. And
the only person who gets the sermon is the pastor, or the music the organist, or the prayers the worship leaders, or the Sunday school lesson the teacher,
many people will stop coming to church because they are not being fed the Word of God in ways that help them develop as disciples of Jesus.
Most churches that are growing have worship and Christian education teams that develop the worship service and educational resource selections. The teams are made up of different groups within the congregation. They make sure that the worship service and Sunday school meets the needs of the whole congregation. One voice is not give preferential treatment over another and at the same time they realize that meeting every persons needs all the time is not realistic.
Pastors, teachers, and musicians in the small and medium size churches can develop a worship and education teams that meet monthly or quarterly to help develop worship and select educational material that meet the needs of the congregation. This is not a time saver for the pastor, musicians, worship leaders, or Sunday school teachers. Preparing and delivering quality sermons, worship, music, Sunday school lessons takes prayer, study, and group time. However, in the end with God's help we will see disciples being born, disciples growing, and our lives growing in Christ.
If you would like suggestions for setting up:
Worship Development Team email Carl Ellis at
Sunday School Development Team talk to a Christian Educator listed on the KS West web site
or search for them on Facebook at Teach4Faith.

A woman, her jogging pants and t-shirt stretching, wrestled to pull a suitcase as tall as she was and heavier than she would ever be onto the dock. Two hands on the handle, feet anchored to the floor, she pulled. Finally, it gave. Her cab had not arrived.
One driving the ship. The entry had not been her best. She needed to fix the window; the wind was distracting. And three more, two young one not so young, exhausted, walking quickly toward a car that would take them to bed.
Fathers let their children down from the rails. A man ran to catch a car as the door closed and the engine started. Boys on wheels of all varieties took off. Preparing to collect money from new passengers, one left the control room where that night there was wind. There were several boys going home on a night like this.
The cars were long gone, the inhabitants never having cared.
An older couple, of whom no one had previously been aware. As the rest filtered off methodically, they stayed. They held hand, held each other. They leaned up against the netting on the back of the ferry, gazing out into the night, smiling as the last light faded away and the darkness again engulfed them.

We transmitted in the rain from my concrete apartment building beyond a 17-story hotel and into the vestibule of a department store clearly using a low-power FRS channel: just over one mile. While driving over flat terrain using a high-power channel we made it to 1.8 miles on a clear day. I'm not sure what the other reviewers are expecting: anything more than 0.5 watts requires a license. That's the government's rule, not a defect of the product. I don't like the belt clips much, so I go without. Otherwise it's a handy device. Instructions on using a headset are also in the manual: you have to turn the radio off, connect the headset, then turn the radio on to have iVOX operational. see less

No ability to use headset on vox mode, i.e., not useful for biking, etc. How is it that a company that has made millions of radios overlooked this? Plug in a pair of headsets into a pair of these radios on vox and they lock into transmit until cycling the power and removing the headsets. If any other brand can do this right why not motorola? Dont support this manufacturer with such stupid design and obviously zero user input or testing. see less

Works great... Love it! I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my 9-year old grandson for fun so he could use it as a communication with friends while playing outside. As it turns out, I actually use it more to stay in contact with him while he's with friends outdoors at neighborhood homes close by, and I have instant contact to know where he is at all times. It works great! The audible is very clear and it is very simple to use. (Much cheaper than buying a cell phone with monthly charges!) We get great coverage. My grandson is having a blast using it and loves checking in with me... This has actually become a unique safety device for us. I don't know how it would work for a business purpose but, for our needs, it is perfect! I only wish I had bought this sooner! see less

I purchased the Univelop / CNCgeeker 4/5 axis TB6560 driver boards (see photo) a few weeks ago and got them working on my new homebuilt CNC router but found that it was missing steps (see photo) and the errors were repeatable and were not speed dependent. After changing nearly every setting in Mach3 and Windows XP, I narrowed it down to the Univelop / CNCgeeker TB6560 driver board.
When a direction change was sent from Mach3 to the parallel port, it was correct but a delay mismatch in the optocouplers on the driver board was causing the step pulse to arrive at the TB6560 IC sooner than the direction pulse. So the motors were turning one step in the wrong way after each direction change!
I have attached a photo showing the step pulse happening before the direction pulse. This is measured at the step and direction pins of the TB6560 IC.
I was able to fix this by swapping a resistor and shorting another. I published the details of this fix on my web site at cockrum.net
A perfect example of the kinds of problems people run into with these cheap Chinese drivers. Congratulations on having the tools, knowledge and time to solve this one.

Found September 23, 2012 on
Fox Sports:
Raiders wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was carted off the field in a stretcher following a scary hit that left him unconscious in the end zone during the fourth quarter against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although Heyward-Bey was unresponsive initially, he was able to give a thumbs up to the Oakland faithful.
Heyward-Bey took a shot underneath his chin from Steelers safety Ryan Mundy and hit the ground face first as he attempted to reel in a Carson Palmer pass. Players from both teams were kneeling and praying as Heyward-Bey was given medical attention by team trainers.
No flag was thrown by the referees on the hit. Player safety has been a big concern regarding the replacement referees.
Heyward-Bey was taken to a nearby hospital for examination and observation, the Contra Costa Times reports.

One of the first people to comment on the antisemitic and anti-Israel rhetoric at the "Occupy Wall Street" (OWS) protest camp in lower Manhattan as well as at several of its clones in cities across the United States and Europe, was Sean Spicer, communications director of the Republican National Committee. In a memorandum dated October 18, Mr. Spicer wondered how Democratic leaders could endorse the OWS movement while remaining silent "in the midst of protesters' extreme antisemitic, anti-Israel comments."
"Where's the outrage?" asked Mr. Spicer, singling out President Barack Obama; Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA); Democratic National Committee Chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL); and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rep. Steven Israel (D-NY) for declaring their support for the demonstrations.
"Is Steve Israel standing with those calling for the killing of Jews? Does Debbie Wasserman Schultz agree with the various calls for Jews to be 'run out of this country' and to oppose and 'destroy' the state of Israel?" said Mr. Spicer.
Documenting Antisemitism
In fact, in and around the OWS protesters' general message that rich people need to pay much more in taxes to help spread their wealth and make things "fair," and that they—the protesters and their allies—need more from the government, are signs that Jews are being targeted.
While Mr.Israeldenounced Mr. Spicer's statement, calling it "outrageous" and intended to "distract" from the Republicans' "economic policies," there is no denying that some OWS protesters have proclaimed that "Zionist Jews need to be run out of the country."
A great deal of the information on the antisemitic component of the OWS movement has come from videos of OWS protesters supplied by the Emergency Committee for Israel, a group co-founded by William Kristol, founder and editor of The Weekly Standard; Gary Bauer of the pro-Israel conservative Christian group American Values; and Rachel Abrams.
Classic Canards
In one widely circulated video, an OWS protester maintains that "almost all the bankers and hedge fund managers on Wall Street are Jewish" and that "there is a conspiracy in this country in which Jews control the media and finances."
The protester insists that a "Google" search for "Wall Street Jews," "Jewish Billionaires," or "Jews and the Federal Reserve Bank" would be revealing.
"The Jews who represent two percent of the population, a small ethnic minority, they have pooled their money together, amassed their money to take control of America's finances. Jews dominate American politics," he says, adding that "almost all the Federal judges on the East and West coasts, are Jewish."
"There's a Jewish group in this country and it's a conspiracy that everyone's afraid to talk about," he says.
And not only in America. InRussia, he says, "Jewish billionaires…are already attempting to take over Russia like they've taken over America."
In another video, an OWS supporter is shown arguing with a man wearing a kippah. The protester says, "You got the money, that's why you're fighting. Jewish man, you can't even speak English. You Israeli? Go back toIsrael."
Still another OWS protester maintains that "the Jews commit more white-collar crime than any other ethnic group on the earth, and they go unprosecuted because they can buy their way out of it."
"Whenever there's a billion-dollar fraud, there's a Jew involved," says the protester.
At many of the OWS demonstrations, there have been posters such as: "Gaza supports the occupation of Wall Street," "Hitler's bankers—Wall Street," and depictions of dollar bills attached to Stars of David.
No Remorse
At the Occupy Los Angeles protests, Patricia McAllister—a teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District—appeared on reason.tv to say, "The Zionist Jews who are running these big banks and our Federal Reserve, which is not run by the federal government, they need to be run out of this country."
"Jews have been run out of 109 countries throughout history, and we need to run them out of this one," she said.
When the embarrassed school district dismissed the non-tenured teacher, many of her fellow demonstrators denounced school officials for firing her and marched in her support.
When a reporter asked Ms. McAllister, an African-American woman, if she regretted her remarks, she said, no, and that she stood by them. To the reporters' suggestion that such remarks directed against African-Americans would be seen as racist, Ms. McAllister said, "If we were guilty of such tactics, we should be thrown out of this country, too."
The Los Angeles schools superintendent John Deasy said that although freedom of speech is a protected right of public employees, "the LAUSD can't set a good example for students while tolerating disrespectful, intolerant, or discriminatory behavior."
Communists and Nazis
There is no question that the OWS movement has brought together strange bedfellows, some of whom have nothing in common except hatred of Jews and Israel. Among the OWS protesters' most vocal supporters have been Communist groups, the government of Iran, and the American Nazi Party.
"The Wall Street protests are the beginning of the 'American Spring,' " said Iran's Deputy Chief of Staff Masoud Jazeyeri, who predicted that the demonstrations against "greed" and gaps between rich and poor are the beginning of a revolution that will cause the collapse of the Western capitalist system.
"The latest events inNew Yorkand other cities show that the security forces in the US act more harshly than those in the Arab countries of theMiddle East," he said.
Offering his support, Rocky Suhayda, head of the American Nazi Party, said, "Who holds the wealth and power in this country—the Judeo-Capitalists. Who is, therefore, the Number One enemy who makes all this filth happen—the Judeo-Capitalists."
Nevertheless, MJ Rosenberg of the left-wing Media Matters Action Network dismissed the charges of antisemitism. Writing for Al-Jazeera, Mr. Rosenberg charged conservatives, such as Mr. Spicer, with "exploiting antisemitism to break the backs of popular movements that threaten the power of the wealthiest one percent of our population."
Antisemites' Haven
By the end of October, New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, had seen enough. He called on local and national Democratic leaders to denounce the antisemitic and anti-Israel posters and rhetoric at the OWS demonstrations.
"The US Constitution guarantees the right of people to peaceably assemble. OWS demonstrators are entitled to exercise this right, so long as they do not infringe on the rights of others. But OWS protests cannot become a haven for antisemites to congregate and espouse their hateful rhetoric," he said.
He asked "Democrats at every level" to express publicly their outrage "and send a clear message to those who carry these antisemitic signs that their vile messages will not be tolerated."
"History bears out what happens when good people remain silent in the face of evil," said Mr. Hikind.
Small Number
Supporters of OWS—many of them Jewish—deny that the number of antisemites among the protesters is significant or that they are in any way representative of the vast majority of protesters.
Writing in The Forward, Eric Alterman, a professor of English and Journalism at Brooklyn College and a columnist for the far left-wing magazine, The Nation, sought to prove that the charge of antisemitism against OWS is "errant nonsense."
"The fact that a few antisemites have congregated among the protesters is no more significant than the fact that they also tend to congregate in Times Squareor Grand Central Station. Should Jewish Democrats condemn them as well?" said Mr. Alterman. "The question to ask about antisemitism is not whether it exists, but whether its existence has any significant political or cultural implication.
He insisted that the "crazies with the silly signs" at the OWS protest "are easily ignorable."
High "Comfort Level"
Ben Shapiro, a nationally syndicated conservative political commentator and Harvard Law School graduate, acknowledged that most of those occupying Wall Street are not antisemites.
"But there is far too high a comfort level among those in the movement for antisemitism. If the Tea Party had been even one-tenth as laced with racism as the OWS movement is with antisemitism, it would have been put out of business by the mainstream press long ago," he said.
Many Jews and their pro-Israel supporters who have seen the antisemitic posters and frequent Arab headscarfs, a number of them with the pattern popularized by the late Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat, and heard the antisemitic rhetoric agree with Mr. Shapiro.
Equal Treatment
Mr. Spicer recalled that during the Tea Party demonstrations against national healthcare and irresponsible government spending, "Democrats were quick to single out any instances of perceived extremism, but with Occupy Wall Street, they turn a blind eye."
"President Obama claimed that Martin Luther King would support the OWS demonstrations. But surely Dr. King would have called out these ugly displays of bigotry," said Mr. Spicer.
Mr. Hikind joined the call for Democrats to denounce the antisemitism.
"Where are my fellow Democrats?" he asked. "Where are all the Tea Party critics? Why is there a double standard when it comes to denouncing obscenely offensive and patently untrue posters depicting Jews and Zionists as 'greedy bankers' who are allegedly responsible for the current economic crisis? Even one such sign is too many."
Antisemitic Core
According to Alana Goodman, an editor at the conservative Commentary magazine, the antisemitism at the protests represents more than the ravings of a few lunatics.
She noted that one of the major organizers of the protest movement was Kalle Lasn, editor of Adbusters, a Vancouver-based, advertisement-free, not-for-profit publication, which identifies as "anti-consumerist and pro-environment." Founded in 1989, Adbusters has carried a number of articles and commentaries which flirt dangerously with antisemitism.
Ms. Goodman recalled that, in 2004, in an article entitled "Why Won't Anyone Say They Are Jewish?" Mr. Lasn "peddled some of the more feverish theories about American Jews, neoconservatism, and the Bush Administration."
In a piece entitled "Jazz and the Jihad," Adbusters published comments insisting that Jews ("Ziocons") had forced the US to invade Iraq and Afghanistan and were trying to compel the US to invade Iran.
"The Ziocons have some big appetite to satisfy. The same lobbies that led America towards this disastrous invasion in Iraq and Afghanistan are now doing whatever they can to push America towards intervention in Iran and Syria. For those few who still fail to realize it, America has been operating officially as an Israeli mission force. It currently fights the last sovereign pockets of Muslim resistance. Often enough, the true aim of the Zionist lobbies is concealed. Instead the Zionist lobbies promote some righteous phony humanitarian alternatives. The American Jewish Committee (AJC), for instance, is aggressively lobbying against human rights abuse in Iran and Darfur. Since human rights issues are really close to my heart, I find myself wondering whether the Jewish organization shouldn't rather be concentrating on the colossal war crimes that are daily repeated by Israel in Palestine," said a published comment.
In 2009, Adbusters published a photomontage comparing the Gaza Strip to the Warsaw Ghetto.
In an article entitled "Enough Boycott Israel," it suggested (without mentioning that Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005) that "the best strategy to end the increasingly bloody occupation is for Israel to become the target of the kind of global movement that put an end to apartheid inSouth Africa."
"Call to Arms"
In June 2011, Adbusters issued a "call to arms," floating the idea of motivating "20,000 people" to flood into lower Manhattan to set up tents and kitchens, for an "occupation" demonstration to protest "the growing disparity in wealth and absence of legal repercussions for the bankers behind the global financial crisis."
Urging readers to take to the streets to demand change, Adbusters suggested September 17 as a starting date to coincide with America's Constitution Day.
The idea quickly spread online with help from a hacker group calling itself "Anonymous."
October 2011
Another key founder of OWS is "October 2011," an umbrella group made up of 164 organizations, many of which are anti-Israel.
"They don't just disagree with the Jewish state, they seek to demonize Israel and make it the scapegoat for all that is wrong with the world," said Jeff Dunetz, editor and publisher of the conservative blog, Yid with Lid.
The October 2011 organizations include All Education Matters, which, on its blog, complained that "not a single Democrat member of Congress has had the guts to…tell Israel to go swing in the breeze. It's not about economics, it's about America's stupid…wars for oil and empire andIsrael."
Answer and Appalachian Peace
The Answer Coalition, another "October 2011" group, takes the position that "what we are witnessing today in Gaza is collective punishment against the population as a whole."
"It is just one part ofIsrael's colonial policy toward the Palestinians. In historic Palestine, whether the West Bank, Gaza, or inside the 1948 borders of Israel, an apartheid system is in place, where many rights reserved for Jewish Israelis are denied to Palestinians. More than six million dispossessed Palestinians are denied the right to return to their homeland," said Answer.
A third group, Appalachian Peace Education Center, was part of the recent attempted Gaza Flotilla.
Dr. Jacob George, who, as an independent blogger and a member of "A Ride to the End," is part of "October 2011," summed up the Middle East conflict like this: "On one hand, it is about a homeland, human dignity, and the right to statehood for a community of people who have endured suffering, genocide, war crimes, theft of land and property, and, on the other, the awful reality of the Jewish lobby, Israel's cannibalism, bullying, and a US veto."
25 Letters to Go
Mr. Dunetz, who reported on these groups, said he was not "cherry-picking" the "October 2011" alliance, looking for anti-Israel statements.
"Truth be told, I looked only through the 'A's; who knows what venom is in the 155 groups I didn't have time to research," he said.
The problem is much greater than these "few nuts within the OWS movement who are bashing Israel and the Jews," he said.
"It is the leadership and founders, yet our President and the rest of the Democratic Party are practically tripping over their underwear in a rush to embrace these haters," he said.
Occupy Orlando
Others who have taken leadership roles in the supposedly leaderless OWS protests also have histories that may raise eyebrows.
For example, Occupy Orlando seems to be led by Shayan Elahi, an attorney linked through the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Last year, in a widely reported custody battle, Mr. Elahi unsuccessfully represented the parents of a 17-year-old Ohio-Muslim girl who said she converted secretly to Christianity and fled her parents' home to avoid being subjected to an "honor killing," the murder of a family member whose behavior conflicts with traditional Muslim-religious standards. The parents sought to have her returned, but the young woman wanted to stay in Florida with a pastor and his wife who, she said, had given her assistance. Before the case could be settled, the girl, Rifqa Bary, turned 18 and was able to make her own decision to stay inFlorida.
According to the "Occupy Orlando" FaceBook page, the organizers "plan to use the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic of mass occupation to restore democracy in America."
Asked by the Florida Independent newspaper about his involvement with Occupy Orlando, Mr. Elahi, who serves as the "Affirmative Action chairman" of the Orange County, FL, Democratic Party, said he was at the protests "volunteering my legal service as just another proud American and a member of the movement."
But on a video report submitted by Tom Trento of the conservative groups, Florida Security Council and The United West, Mr. Elahi repeatedly tried to intimidate the reporter, pulling away those he stopped to interview and pointedly calling Mr. Trento a "racist bigot."
Mr. Trento suggested that, after losing Ms. Bary's case as well as recent election for a judgeship, Mr. Elahi may be trying to "co-opt an incoherent movement primarily made up of hippies and anarchists so that he can build a political base for his Islamist goals."
Prayer Services
On October 21 in New York, CAIR issued an invitation to OWS protesters in Zuccotti Park to participate in traditional Islamic Friday Jummah prayers. The purpose was to conflate Muslim demands with those of the OWS protesters. But the Muslims were much more specific that OWS has been.
"Over the past several weeks, it has become clear that many of the demands of Occupy Wall Street parallel those of the New York Muslim community. Especially in light of the recently exposed NY Police Department surveillance in Muslim Student Organizations, we need to unite in our repudiation of government corruption and our rejection of the political effort to marginalize our voices," said the invitation. "It is time for the New York Muslim community to assume its place in the fight for political and economic equality in the country, and it is vital that the youth lead the way."
At the prayer service, Imam Aiyub Abdul Baki of the Islamic Leadership Council, delivered a talk that seemed to be about social justice, based on the Last Sermon of the Prophet Mohammed. In an inference to Wall Street Bankers, which some saw as veiled reference to Jews, Mr. Baki noted the Prophet's commandment against usury.
"We are also suffering, suffering racism and discrimination. Islam-bashing is on the increase," Mr. Baki told the protesters.
Some Jewish activists have also held prayer services at the New York OWS protest. In addition to Lubavitchers seeking out Jews who might be interested in putting on tefillin, some young Jews, led by left-wing activist Dan Sieradski, originally from Bergen County, managed to organize an almost-impromptu Kol Nidrei service erev Yom Kippur as well as a "freedom sukkah" and Simchat Torah celebration.
According to Mr. Sieradski, on October 14, NYC police asked the group, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, to dismantle a tent they had set up to facilitate a Shabbat dinner. Mr. Sieradski said the protesters told police the tent was actually a sukkah, but the knowledgeable New York City officers knew better. The police told the protesters that, from the tent, stars were not visible.
Jewish Characters
Josh Nathan-Kazis, writing in The Forward, discussed Kobi Skolnick, a 30-year-old Israeli whom he met in Zuccotti Park. Originally from a Lubavitch family, Mr. Skolnick left the hareidi world to study at a nationalist-religious yeshiva in the Samarian community of Itamar, before leaving religion and devotion to the Jewish state altogether.
He told Mr. Nathan-Kazis the turning point for him came after serving in the Israeli Defense Forces, making contact with Palestinians, and watching some of his friends die in the Israeli army.
Having relocated to the US, Mr. Skolnick now leads workshops on the Middle East conflict, often with a Palestinian partner, in presentations that have been sponsored byJ Street.
"It Does Exist"
Mr. Skolnick did not deny that there is antisemitism at the OWS protest. "It does exist, but it's like three people," he told the Forward. "They're not articulate enough. You bring facts, and they get stressed."
He also acknowledged that some of the activists were "critical of Israel."
"People don't like the occupation" of the Palestinian territories," he told the Forward. "I myself don't like the occupation."
According to the Forward, Mr. Skolnick arrived in Zuccotti Park in September, one day after the protest began. He had planned to be back in Israel, but, he said, he lacked sufficient funds for a ticket.
To participate in the OWS protest over lack of employment, he quit his job in a Brooklyn restaurant. Now, he told the Forward, he "works" for OWS 12-16 hours a day, going home only to sleep. He said he is committed to the cause at least until January 2012,when he is scheduled to begin a master's program at Columbia University in negotiation and conflict resolution.
Occupy Boston-Not Palestine
All too often, ostensibly Jewish groups have participated in the anti-Israel message surrounding the OWS protests. In the middle of October, a group of about 40 people from a group called "Jewish Women for Justice in Israel/Palestine" came to Dewey Park, where Occupy Boston is based, for an anti-Israel rally they called "Occupy Boston—Not Palestine."
One of the organizers, Anna Shenk, told the Daily Free Press, aBoston University student publication , that she and the others had come "to give voice to the Palestinians."
"I lived in Jordan for two years, working to provide food and clothing to Palestinian refugees," she told the paper. "I learned firsthand what being chased out of your home does to you, no matter who you are, and it's outrageous."
She had no comment when asked why she thought Jordan and other Arab countries refused to grant citizenship to the Arabs who left Israel in 1948—and their descendents—after being promised by their leaders that they would return shortly to take over Jewish homes when the nascent state of Israel was destroyed.
Demanding Funding Cut
Ms. Shenk's group argued that the US spends "8 million tax payers' dollars on military aid and support to Israel per day."
"America, open your eyes," demanded protest participant Nancy Murray. "It's because of your tax dollars that Israel occupies Palestine."
Ignoring the fact that the only buildings destroyed by the Israeli government in Judea and Samaria in recent years have been Jewish homes, Ms. Murray insisted that "we need to build houses in the US instead of destroying houses in Palestine."
"The occupation has gone on for so long because the US vetoed 41 UN Security Council resolutions. They've given Israelthe green light to abuse human rights," she said.
Breaking the Law
While "Jewish Women for Justice" were demonstrating, MassResistance, a Boston-based conservative group, toured Dewey Park to see what kind of flyers were being passed around. The group found a popular one which announced that the protest was "Arab Spring Meet American Fall."
The rest of the flyer was less jovial. It admonished protesters not to "festishize obedience to the law. Laws serve to protect the privileges of the wealthy and powerful; obeying them is not necessarily morally right—it may even be immoral."
"Not everyone is resigned to legalistic pacifism; some people still remember how to stand up for themselves," said the flyer.
Nevertheless, said the MassResistance spokesman, the local media has portrayed "Occupy Boston" as "merely noble young citizens who've had enough and are using their First Amendment rights to protest."
"No Tea Party ever gets that treatment, that's for sure," said the MassResistance report.
Alerting the Media
The lack of media scrutiny has disturbed many critics of the OWS movement. Even though there is wide-spread admission about at least some degree of antisemitism at the protests, there has been very little mention of the issue in the mainstream media. For the most part, such reports about any of the OWS demonstrations are confined to the Internet.
This is in stark contrast to media reports on Tea Party events, when even a hint of antisemitism made headlines,. According to Brent Bozell, president of the politically conservative Media Research Center (MRC), most press outlets have given a biased, "genial" view of the OWS protests, often comparing them to the "Arab spring" demonstrations in the Middle East.
After MRC captured on video an OWS protester engaging in an antisemitic tirade, Mr. Bozell sent certified overnight letters to the presidents of ABC, CBS, and NBC News as well as to CNN Worldwide, demanding that the networks report the antisemitism.
He pointed out that while the networks are "turning a blind eye" to the antisemitism, they have been "obsessed with alleged racist smears by members of the Tea Party," even though most of the allegations against the Tea Party activists and participants "have never been corroborated and there's not a scintilla of video or audio evidence to back them up."
Telling the network presidents they "must report this," he added the warning that, if they do not, "your network will be guilty of a glaring double-standard: reporting baseless accusations of racism coming from the Tea Party as news; but not reporting documented evidence of antisemitism coming from the OWS crowd."
"If you choose not to report this, you are deliberately covering up an act of antisemitism," he wrote.
No Comparison
Mr. Dunetz pointed out that while some reports have tried to compare the OWS movement to the Tea Party, the two groups not only have little in common, but they have behaved differently especially in their responses to Israel and Jews in general.
For example, while there may or may not have been some antisemitic statements made at Tea Party events, there is no question the leadership as well as the rank-and-file quickly disavowed any connection between such rhetoric and the movement. At OWS, there have been no denunciations of the anti-Israel or antisemitic statements issued by any group or individual.
Writing in the London Mail, journalist Charlie Wolf noted the irony in the Occupy London demonstrators' claim to be an "occupying force," while, at the same time, carrying signs denouncing Israel as an "occupier."
Acknowledging that even in London, there are many Jews among the OWS protesters, Mr. Wolf said, "Jews should be shocked to join any movement that has received endorsement from both the Communist and Nazi Parties."
"The OWS movement is anti-Zionist and antisemitic," he said, insisting these are "more than just insinuations, but signs equating Jews with banks and the rich, protesting US foreign relations with Israel—especially defense funding—and mention of the Rothschild family."

text: LESSON 317 - NOVEMBER 13 "I follow in the way appointed me." PRACTICE INSTRUCTIONS See complete instructions in separate document. A short summary: * Read the commentary paragraph slowly and personally. * Pray the prayer, perhaps several times. * Morning and evening: Repeat the idea and then spend time in Open Mind Meditation. * Hourly remembrance: Repeat the idea and then spend a quiet moment in meditation. * Frequent reminders: Repeat the idea often within each hour. * Response to temptation: Repeat the idea whenever upset, to restore peace. * Read the "What Is" section slowly and thoughtfully once during the day. COMMENTARY "I have a special place to fill; a role for me alone" (1:1). There is a place for me in the plan of Atonement. There is something that is meant specially for me to do, and until I find and fulfill my part, "salvation waits" (1:2). My particular twist on the insanity of separation needs to be healed before healing is complete. I do believe we each have a particular part to play in the drama of salvation. We each have a "special function" to fulfill, and part of following the Holy Spirit is learning to discover what that role is. It may not be anything grand or large in the public eye. It may be the healing of one particular relationship. It might be, as it was with Helen Schucman, bringing some message from God into this world. It might be raising children and bringing them up from the perspective of a healed mind. It might be tending bar and listening to the patrons with forgiveness. But we do have a function, and we need to find and fill it. Whatever it is, it will be some aspect of healing, some aspect of alleviating guilt, some way of recognizing the Christ in those around us. It will be a function which, in some way, gives and brings grace into the world, for all functions within the plan of God fall into this general category. Healing is our function here. When I find my function I will find my happiness, for happiness is my function. This is what I choose today. Today, Father, I pray: "I'll go where You would have me go; I'll do what You would have me do. I'll be forever in love with You."** All my sorrows end in Your embrace. (2:5) WHAT IS THE LAST JUDGMENT? Part 7: W-pII.10.4:1 God's Final Judgment is as merciful as every step in His appointed plan to bless His Son, and call him to return to the eternal peace He shares with him. The plan of God and its ending are characterized by one thing: mercy. The final outcome will be mercy, and every step along the way to our learning that will be merciful. God has a plan, and that plan is to call us "to return to the eternal peace He shares" with us. No part of that plan is anything but merciful. Sometimes, even though we may believe that the ending will be merciful, we think that harshness, pain, and suffering are necessary along the way. I don't think so. I believe that the merciful nature of the outcome permeates the entire pathway. Every bit of it is aimed at release from suffering. "There is no need to learn through pain" (T-21.I.3:1). When we have already, in our blindness, chosen pain, it can be used to teach us; but there is no need for it to be that way. God's only desire is to release us from our suffering. And in the end, He will. In the end, we will know the fullness of His mercy, the consistency of His Love, and the shining radiance of His joy. At the heart of the universe, God is an infinite expanse of welcome. * * * ALL MY SORROWS END IN YOUR EMBRACE In a couple of articles for A Better Way, I have shared my love for the prayers in Part II of the Workbook. They are a wonderful way to prepare one's mind to enter into quiet communion with God, which is exactly what the Workbook says they are for (I make this claim based on a careful examination of the introduction to Part II, especially 3:3 and 4:6). To encourage their actual use for this purpose, I would like to comment on the prayer for Lesson 317, "I follow in the way appointed me": Father, Your way is what I choose today. Where it would lead me do I choose to go; what it would have me do I choose to do. Your way is certain, and the end secure. The memory of You awaits me there. And all my sorrows end in Your embrace, which You have promised to Your Son, who thought mistakenly that he had wandered My comments take the form of suggestions for how one might pray this prayer, and so I suggest that you may want to do just that. One way to do this is to read a line from the prayer and my commentary on it, and then pause and spend a minute or two focusing on that line, actually praying it, before going on to reading the next part. <Father, Your way is what I choose today.> This prayer opens (as do more than half of the prayers in Part II of the Workbook) by having you address God as "Father." Rather than speaking into empty space, or beseeching some remote and fearful deity, you begin this prayer by speaking directly to your Father. The word "Father" here is meant to call upon our image of the ideal father, the perfect dad. What is the perfect dad like? He is near, available, accessible. He is a source of safety and protection, a place of refuge. He provides for all your needs, making sure you are not lacking. All he wants is your happiness. He regards you as a part of himself, a continuation of his line, an extension of his very identity. And so he gives you all of his love and plans to pass on to you all that he has, including his name, his station in life, and his fortune. In addressing God as "Father," try to hold this image of fatherhood in mind. And try to make it a personal address, so that you are really speaking directly to your Father. Expect Him to hear you. This first sentence makes a powerful declaration. You are telling God that His way is what you are choosing today. What is His way? You might try filling in things you associate with God's way. You might say, "Your way of forgiveness (or peace, or love, or salvation) is what I choose today." You might even have specific things that choosing God's way today will entail. It may come to your mind that choosing His way means forgiving your coworker or giving up some fear you are hanging onto. But to make this prayer meaningful, you have to mean it. As much as you can, endeavor to genuinely view today as a day in which you choose God's way. This may mean reflecting on some questions: How much have you chosen His way as yours? How much are you still holding out, so that His way is only one option among many for you? How much do you still see your happiness as coming from your ability to control external events and situations and people? Based on your experience thus far, which way seems to promise you more: yours or His? To the extent that you can honestly answer "His," then put that feeling into the saying of this line. See this day as one you will look back on and say to yourself, "That was the day when I chose God's way." To make this more real, when you come to the word "today," you might even want to fill in the day of the week and the date. <Where it would lead me do I choose to go;> When you enlist in God's way you are agreeing to all that goes with it, which includes going wherever He sends you. You are placing no limits on this agreement. It is a blanket commitment, covering all possibilities. This not because you have some sense of blind allegiance or slavish duty, but because you trust that God knows better than you what will make you happy. So as you speak this line try to evoke a feeling of trust, knowing that your Father would not lead you to your doom. You might even add, "because I trust You." You might also want to think of some of the places where His way might lead you. "Where" in this line specifically refers to places in this world you would go as part of fulfilling your special function; this lesson begins by saying, "I have a special place to fill; a role for me alone." Yet it can also refer to more abstract "places" like peace or salvation or Heaven. Try taking whatever places come to mind in terms of where His way might lead you and then add them onto the end of the above line: "to my in-laws' house, to move to Maine, to peace, to Heaven." <what it would have me do I choose to do.> This line is, of course, very much like the previous one. Again, you may want to remind yourself that you can trust your Father's way to lead you to peace, not death. You also might want to listen for things He specifically wants you to do today. Perhaps you can sense that He wants you to call someone, do a favor for someone, or take care of something you have been putting off. You have now said three times in different ways that you are choosing His way. This is no trivial statement. Remember the power your choosing has. What the Course says about your learning power also applies to your power of choice: "There is no greater power in the world. The world was made by it, and even now depends on nothing else" (T-31.I.3:2-3). If you say, "Your way is what I choose today" and <mean> it, your whole life could change. <Your way is certain, and the end secure.> Once again the word "way" is used. In addition to being the focus of every line of the prayer so far, it also crops up in the lesson's title ("I follow in the way appointed me") and in the paragraph before the prayer ("when I willingly and gladly go the way my Father's plan appointed me to go"). These two references tell us something about this way. This is a way we can "follow in" and a way we can "go." Clearly, this way is a sort of roadway, pathway, or highway. It is a path that one travels on. What does it mean, then, to say that this "way is certain"? For this, we can turn to clues in nearby lessons. Lesson 321 tells us that God's way is the certain way to finding our <freedom>. Lesson 331 tells us that it is the certain way to our <release>. So, "Your way is certain" means "Your way will work. It will take me where it promises. It will lead me to freedom, to release, to my home." Try to say this with real conviction. To gather this conviction, you may want to reflect on where <your> way has led you. Has it worked? A recurrent theme in the Course is that our roads, though they promise to lead us to freedom, end up leading us nowhere. Only God's road brings us to the destination we truly desire. This leads right into the second part of the above line, for it too refers to the destination of this way or path. We now affirm that the end, the goal, the destination of God's way is secure. This means that we will get there for sure. We will reach the destination, for God has guaranteed it. So when you say this line, "Your way is certain, and the end secure," try to envision your own journey home. You have walked down many dead-end roads in the past, roads which started with high hopes, yet got increasingly bumpy and futile the further you traveled. Yet when you truly set your feet on God's way, you will be walking on a smooth road straight to your destination. It may seem thorny and twisted at first, but this is only because you will frequently leave His road in search of your old pathways. Yet the further you travel on God's way, the more committed to it you will be, and so the easier it will become, until the day comes when you reach its very end. And that day <will> come for you. <The memory of You awaits me there.> Now the prayer directly speaks of the end of the road. We have been journeying since time immemorial, through countless experiences and untold difficulties. What has it all been for? What wondrous destination awaits us at the end of the journey? "The memory of You"-the memory of God. To appreciate what this memory is, we must first discuss the preseparation state. Before the separation, we lived in a state of knowledge. We knew God face to face. This knowing was so immediate, so total, that there was no separation between our knowing of God and God Himself. The two were one and the same. God was directly present in our minds, and this Presence was our knowing of Him. He was our Love, and knowing Him was our whole existence and unending joy. This is the knowledge we forgot in the separation, leaving us in a state of chronic lack and loneliness. This is what we have been blindly searching for through all our wandering. This is what we head straight toward as we follow in God's way. This is the sweet reward that awaits us at the end of the road. Our Love Himself awaits us with Open Arms. There, we will remember Him, the One Who was everything to us, the One we loved with our whole being, the One we have searched for through all the ages. Choosing God's way means that you see this one event as what your journey is for. You see your entire passage through time as an arrow shot at this one event. You see every day, every hour, every situation, every relationship, every event, every lifetime as having a single purpose-to bring you to the event which infinitely dwarfs the entire journey and everything in it: the memory of your Love. <And all my sorrows end in Your embrace,> What a beautiful line! Our Love has been waiting for us with Open Arms, and now that we reach the end of the road, now that we remember Him, He wraps us in His embrace. In the total love of this embrace, nothing else matters. All the pain of the journey vanishes. All the sorrows of the human condition, the sorrows we have carried since the world began, are gone. The sorrows were <of> the journey, and both they <and> the journey end together, here in His embrace. Why? Because at the root of each sorrow was the feeling of being separated from Him. Now that we are with Him, as the Course says, "where is sorrow now?" (M-15.1:12). This poignant line reminds me of two other lines from the Course that express the exact same sentiment: The graciousness of God will take them gently in, and cover all their sense of pain and loss with the immortal assurance of their Father's Love. (T-14.IX.4:3) I need but turn to Him, and every sorrow melts away, as I accept His boundless Love for me. (W-pI.207.1:3) I suggest that you really spend some time with the above line. To help make it more meaningful to you, you may think of a particular person's embrace that was so loving it made your sorrows melt away. Then imagine that embrace being multiplied an infinite number of times. And you also might want to detail some of your sorrows. List all of the sorrows you can think of, all those sorrows that will one day end in His embrace. <which You have promised to Your Son,> Can you ascertain exactly what God has promised to His Son, according to this line? It is His embrace. God's promise to you is that, after all your journeying, you will end up in His embrace forever. How sure do you think a promise from God is? You might even imagine that you have an actual promissory note from Him, for is this not what A Course in Miracles is? In fact, you might try this: Take the Course in your hands and while looking at it, think of its origins, how it says it comes from God's Own Voice through Jesus to you. Then dwell on this line: "This is the promissory note You sent to me, Your Son, promising that I will end up in Your embrace forever." <who thought mistakenly that he had wandered from the sure protection of Your loving Arms.> Up until now the prayer has said that God's embrace waits for us at the end of the journey and that God has promised us this embrace. Now the conclusion of the prayer puts a whole new spin on things. Do you see what that spin is? It is that we never left His embrace. We are still there. That is why the end is so secure. That is why He can promise that we will end up in His Arms. We are there right now and always have been. Imagine the following scenario: You are within the sure protection of God's loving Arms. In these Arms, you fall asleep and start to dream. And in this dream you "wake up" and leave His embrace. You wander off, and as you wander, a growing sense of lack and loneliness opens up within you. Yet this just provokes more wandering, for now you must find the special thing out there that will fill this gnawing hole in you. By the time you suspect that only God can fill this hole, it is too late; He is out of sight and you are not sure that you can ever get back. And this brings us more or less to where you are right now in the dream of your life, as you read this sentence of this essay. For this story is no metaphor. It is the literal story of your existence. But remember: You never woke up. You are still dreaming. And so you are still lying asleep in the sure protection of His loving Arms. You are still in the safety of His fatherly embrace, merely dreaming that you are on a journey that is soaked with the sorrow of being separate from Him. Let this idea into your mind as deeply as you can while praying this line. You might want to use this version: "I, Your Son, thought that I had wandered from the sure protection of Your Loving Arms. But I am still there. I am still there. I am still there." __ **If you have not heard the wonderful tape album (or CD) by Donna Marie Carey, Real Love, which contains a song with the words I have just quoted, all songs based on ACIM, I highly recommend it.

Great sandwiches & coffee! ARTISTS' RECEPTION SUNDAY, DEC. 8 from 6:15-8:15 for DIANE & PHIL VALLEJO ARTWORKS
Outstanding, homemade Mexican. The rojo is ridiculously good.
I agree, even with the new ownership and remodeling, it all looked and tasted worse. No wonder why they closed it down.
Cheap booze, nice staff. Usually close to empty though. This is great for a friendly social time but not a good place to looking for a new spouse.
Was dying to try this place. Finally did today and it was terrible. I'm not sure if it's normally this bad, but there was only one employee who was clearly high as shit. Took him over 15 minutes to make one drink. Didn't wash his hands before or wear gloves and touched all of the fruit and vegetables. Didn't wash hands after either and handed me my drink covered in gunk. Friendly guy but too friendly and made me feel uncomfortable. Was more interested in chatting than making a good drink. I had just finished the incline and was on my way home and just wanted to get in and out, not spend 20 minutes talking to some weirdo. I believe his name started with a K, could be wrong but he works at devil's pizza too. If the owner is reading this, please get rid of that guy. I am never going back solely because of my experience with that employee. And the drink I got "Garden of the Gods" went straight to the trash because of the lack of cleanliness on his part. Definitely a waste of $7.
Tong-Tong is my go-to Korean restaurant in Colorado Springs. The service has always been outstanding, with attentive, friendly servers that go out of their way to make you feel at home. They have always been ready with a smile and a suggestion of what I should try next. The food is likewise outstanding, with the wide assortment of soups being particularly good.
Everything from standards like bulgogi (thin sliced marinated beef) and japchae (a sweet potato noodle dish) to more unusual dishes like sundubu-jjigae (a spicy soft tofu soup) are served sizzling in their dishes and incredibly good. Unless you ask for it spicy, the level of hotness is under control, so this non-Korean can enjoy it without sweating the whole time.
I would suggest trying it at lunchtime, as their lunch menu has most of the standards at substantially reduced prices (around $6.99 for most). Even at lunch, you receive a wide assortment of traditional side dishes with your entre. The staff will gladly refill any of them if you ask for more.
The only knock on this place (and the only reason I didn't give it five stars) is that it could use a good remodel. The carpeting is worn in many places, the booths and tables have seen better days, and the restrooms, though clean, need some maintenance work.
Still, that shouldn't deter you from trying this place. Before you know it, you'll be a regular like me.

The new guys are pretty nice so far. One of them even brought me a gift.
It's a little sword stand that comes with two miniature weapons. The sword is easy enough to recognize, but I had to ask about what the other implement is. Apparently it's a jutte (or jitte; 十手), which were worn by police and samurai not only to keep order but as status symbols.
Don't think I'll be bopping any criminals with this one, but it's cool all the same. Very thoughtful.
