JERUSALEM — The Cenacle, named for the Latin word for dinner, is testament to the layers of religious history in Jerusalem — and the trouble that competing faiths can cause.
According to tradition, it was in the Cenacle that Jesus ate a Passover feast the night before his Crucifixion, instituting the Christian sacrament of Holy Communion. But Christians aren't the only ones who revere the site.
On the first floor is a Jewish shrine to King David, who's said to be buried in a crypt below. The Cenacle's stained-glass windows are filled with Arabic calligraphy, evidence that it once housed a mosque. A decommissioned minaret rises from the top floor to the sky.
When Pope Francis celebrates Mass in the room Monday, the last day of a Mideast tour that begins Saturday in Jordan, he'll do it against a backdrop of recent protests by observant Jews who are upset at what they fear is a Roman Catholic effort to assert control over the building on Mount Zion.

The norm has been for ritual Christian prayer to be held in the Cenacle only twice a year: Pentecost and Maundy Thursday, the Thursday before Easter.
That tension has been fueled by discussions between Israel and the Vatican over allowing regular Christian prayer hours in what's also known as the Upper Room, where Jesus is said to have intoned the words enshrined in Christian ritual when he shared bread — "This is my body" — and wine — "This is my blood" — with his disciples on the night before his execution.
As a result, the area around the building, which Jews call the Tomb of David, has become a religious minefield. Christian clergy say they face rising hostility in the neighborhood.
"I've been spat at. I've been cursed in the street," the Rev. David Neuhaus, the Latin patriarch's vicar for Hebrew-speaking Catholics, told an Israeli radio station, TLV1. "I think most Christians who walk around in traditional Christian garb have met with this kind of behavior."
Israeli officials scoff at the notion the Vatican is about to take control of the Cenacle. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said talk of giving the Upper Room to the Vatican was "a crazy conspiracy theory."
"We've been dealing with it for years and denying it time after time," Palmor said.
Francis has said his pilgrimage is designed to mark the 50th anniversary of the historic meeting in Jerusalem between Pope Paul VI and the spiritual leader of the world's Orthodox Christians, Patriarch Athenagoras.
Their 1964 embrace — with the diminutive Paul almost dwarfed by the bearded, 6-foot, 4-inch Patriarch of Constantinople — ended 900 years of mutual excommunications and divisions between Catholic and Orthodox stemming from the Great Schism of 1054, which split Christianity.
The highlight of the trip that begins Saturday will be a prayer service led by Francis and Athenagoras' successor, Bartholomew I, inside the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where the faithful believe Jesus was crucified and resurrected.
The service Sunday will be historic, given that the three main Christian communities that share the church — Greek-Orthodox, Armenian and Roman Catholic — will pray together at the same time.
As for the Cenacle, Franciscan Friar Alberto Joan Pari would like to see Christians have more of an opportunity to pray in the Last Supper room.
"It's exciting. It's very deep," Pari said of the room. "If you think that everything started from here. … This is a place where you feel a lot of energy."
Jerusalem City Councilmember Arieh King sees things differently. King is the chairman of the ultranationalist United Jerusalem party.
Should Jerusalem agree to give Christians the right to pray regularly in the Upper Room, King said, it would pose a problem to the Jewish faithful. According to Jewish law, it's forbidden to pray in the same space as "idol worshippers," a category that many believe includes Christians.
"Jews will not be able to pray here, and this is something no Jew can accept," he said.
In recent weeks, Jewish vandals have scrawled "King David for the Jews" and "Jesus is garbage" on the St. George Romanian Orthodox Church in Jerusalem. They also defaced the city's Notre Dame center, where the pope will stay, with graffiti reading "Death to Christians." No suspects have been arrested, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
On Thursday, Rosenfeld said police had issued restraining orders against four Israeli activists ahead of the pope's visit to ensure calm at the site.
Pari said the pope's Mass was designed to be discreet.
"We are sure that during his visit everything will be fine," Pari said. "But after, we are a bit afraid of what will happen in the future. … If I have a possibility to meet personally the pope, I will ask him to please pray for us, because when he leaves Israel the situation will change."

Given the choice – Fat or Sugar?
If you're a label reader and trying to make healthy food choices when shopping you've probably noticed that one product (especially the likes of muesli bars, yogurt and cereals such as muesli) may be low in fat, but is likely to be high in sugar, while another may be low in sugar but is high in fat. It always seems to be a trade off! It's really hard to find a (tasty) product low in both fat and sugar at the same time.
When it comes to the "crunch" in the fat vs sugar debate, is it healthier to choose the product with less fat or the one with less sugar?
The answer is that the source of the fat or sugar is key. With food items such as yogurt, muesli bars or muesli the sugar may be derived from added fruit or in the case of yogurt, the milk it contains is also a source of sugar. However we need to be aware that there may also be added sugar. Unfortunately the food labels won't actually identify the specific source of sugar, but you can still get a load of information from the ingredients list. On any food label, the ingredients are always listed in order of the greatest weight of one particular ingredient contained within the product. You can be sure that most of the sugar comes from fruit if it's listed second or first on the ingredients list. If this is the case, that product is a better choice that one which states "sugar" as being the first or second item on the ingredients list.
With fat, use a similar process. If the main source of fat is from animal products such as dairy, meat poultry then you're better to chose a low fat option as all of these fats derived from animals are high in saturated fat and you ought to limit these fats in order to maintain good heart health. On the other hand, fats from healthy sources such plants (nuts, seeds and their oils) are fine, so long as you keep an eye on the overall calorie count. These types of fats are actually good for us. There is an exception to the rule however. That is fats in the form of coconut and palm oil. These are also high in saturated fats and should be avoided or at least limited severely.

A great book for book clubs and one you shouldn't miss.
Since college (so many years ago), I have always been a fan of Louise Erdrich, but until the publication of her most recent book, The Round House, I had let a few of her books slip by without reading them. When my book club selected The Round House, I felt this was the perfect opportunity to get caught up. Wow! While most of Erdrich's books are complicated and require dedication and focus to plow through, The Round House, is completely accessible to your average reader.
The time is coming when cool weather will encourage us to remain indoors. If you have children, you may soon hear the dreaded whine, "I'm bored. There's nothing to do!" I'm happy to report that these three books will provide hours of entertainment and family projects.
In a valiant effort to keep my children's screen time down and to preserve my sanity, I often resort to crafting with my kids. It's a good idea to keep some basic craft supplies on hand, but some of these projects may require a trip to the craft store with a supply list in hand. Alternately, try Goodwill or other thrift stores to pick up bags of fabric scraps or yarn, or get together with friends and combine craft supplies. These books are bound to keep little and big hands busy for the winter months. Some of these projects will also make great holiday gifts!
55,000 people die in agony from this virus every year.
I'm talking rabies, people. I assumed (incorrectly) that this virus was mostly extinct. Rabies is very much alive and well - thanks to a lack of vaccines and treatment in some parts of the world. As a bleeding heart who is likely to try to help any injured animal that crosses my path, I decided to do a bit of research to see exactly how prevalent rabies is in Colorado. The Colorado Department of Natural Resources has some very accessible information, in case you're interested.
I'm reading this great book. It's so hilarious that I'm literally snorting with laughter.
What's it about?
(long, uncomfortable silence)
It's also touching, and tragic, so keep the tissues handy.
I'm talking about The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It's about two teens dealing with various aspects of cancer. As with most of his books, I'm totally smitten. The banter between characters is very highbrow. I don't know any teenagers who really talk like Green's characters, but he's a skilled writer and his characters are enchanting and well-developed. This is a must-read for adults and older teens.

While we're waiting for NANOWRIMO to begin, here are a few resources you might find helpful. Oh - and if you feel like tackling your writing project now, by all means, scribble away!
It's autumn. My thoughts turn to the usual autumnal things like the changing leaves, apple picking, pumpkin carving...and a strange hankering for tales of desperation.
Something about this time of year tends to make some of us a bit melancholy. It's a time to fend off sleep when the sun sinks below the horizon at 5:00. We watch the leaves fall and our flowers wither with frost. We haul out the blankets and heat up the tea kettle. We bake bread and fill bowls with hearty soups as if we're bears stockpiling calories for our long winter's sleep. This time of year, reading about hardship somehow makes me feel cozier.
Do you love literary fiction? Historical fiction? Science fiction? This author is a rare find - someone who can cross genres with ease, style, and literary merit. She has won many national and international awards for her work. If you haven't read her, you should!
Many years ago, I discovered The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell and loved it, but somehow with all of the other books on my list, I never revisited her work. Then, this year, Doc hit our featured titles table. I snagged a copy and devoured it in three days. It was so good, I was compelled to read every work of fiction she ever wrote.
The moment I heard that Snow Flower and the Secret Fan was being made into a movie, I was thrilled.
I've seen so many good movies set in scenic places in China or by Chinese directors: Raise the Red Lantern; The Last Emperor; Ju Dou; Farewell My Concubine; Lust, Caution...
Not a cloud in the sky. I'm sweating in the garden, my scalp slowly broiling. My mind is elsewhere seeking mercy from the sun - dreaming of distant places where I could chill...SERIOUSLY chill. I'm talking the Arctic and the Antarctic.
While you might be able to convince me to briefly set foot someplace in the Arctic (Alaska, anyone?), the Antarctic with its annual mean temperature of -58 degrees is simply out of the question. But in books, I'll happily vicariously experience toes black from frostbite, sleeping in sodden sealskin sleeping bags, and eating nothing but frozen seal meat. These books put my minor discomforts in perspective and leave me with a sense of wonder and awe. I'm glad some braver souls than myself have explored such places and that some have survived to tell the tale.

The sense of déjà vu was as strong as the smell of oil fumes in the Chicago suburb of Romeoville. Parking lots were full of vacuum trucks and other large vehicles emblazoned with the names of environmental remediation companies. The tents were stocked with bottled water and protective gear for cleanup workers. The EPA had brought in a mobile emergency response unit -- a trailer outfitted with air-monitoring equipment and a whiteboard listing briefings and logistics.
Nearby residents voiced fear and incredulity that a large oil pipeline ran below their homes or businesses and was now leaking heavy crude. They speculated about when the oil flow would be stemmed, how widespread the damage would be, and how much the cleanup would cost. The Canadian company Enbridge Inc. offered assurances that it would compensate all stakeholders and pay all cleanup costs, while emphasizing the overall safety and integrity of the Lakehead System which delivers a bulk of the nation's oil imports from Canada to Midwestern refineries.
The spill that sprung from Enbridge's punctured "6A" pipeline below a warehouse complex in Romeoville on September 9 ultimately proved significantly smaller and less damaging than the spill from its pipeline into Michigan's Kalamazoo River that threatened to reach Lake Michigan six weeks earlier. The Romeoville spill clocked in at about 250,000 gallons, compared to about 830,000 gallons in Michigan. The Romeoville spill was largely contained in a retention pond, though it did contaminate banks along a storm water ditch, ooze over a road, and reach the town's wastewater treatment plant, causing a shutdown. Cleanup of the Kalamazoo spill, which saturates a 30-mile stretch of marshy flood plain, will take well into next year.
But both spills bolstered a growing public awareness that the pipeline network underlying America's heartland is quite vulnerable to leaks and spills for any number of reasons. There were 89 spills on Enbridge Inc. pipelines last year, and four days after the Romeoville spill, another leak required an Enbridge pipeline to be closed near Buffalo.
Investigations into both Enbridge spills are still ongoing, but preliminary reports indicate that the Michigan spill was possibly a result of corrosion causing a six-foot-long break, while the Romeoville pipeline suffered a 2.5-inch-long puncture on its bottom side, likely from a rock. National Transportation Safety Board investigator Matt Nicholson said investigators were surprised to find that pipeline 6A, a half century old, lays on a bed of large, sharp rocks. Nowadays pipelines are nestled in soft sand or gravel.
Since the Michigan spill, legislators, environmental groups and residents have increasingly raised concerns about the safety of an aging pipeline network. Enbridge has countered that five decades is only "middle-aged" for a pipeline and with proper maintenance, should not be a cause for concern. But legislators and watchdog groups are also questioning whether current federal oversight of pipeline monitoring and maintenance is adequate. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), part of the Department of Transportation, is in charge of pipeline safety. This primarily involves overseeing pipeline companies' own monitoring efforts. In January PHMSA sent Enbridge a letter warning it had violated requirements for monitoring the integrity of its 6B pipeline.
"This web of pipelines have a remarkable tendency to not deliver their product where it's supposed to go," says NRDC Midwest program director Henry Henderson. "They dump it in rivers, in cities. It's an insecure infrastructure on many points -- there are issues of how pipelines have been sited, how they are monitored, how they are tested, how they are regulated. We've got a system that is not delivering what it promises to deliver, and putting people at risk."
The oil in pipeline 6A in Romeoville was headed for a large holding facility in Griffith, Indiana, a quaint historic town nestled amidst heavy industry in northwest Indiana about 20 miles south of Chicago. The oil in pipeline 6B was headed from Griffith to a refinery in Sarnia, Ontario. Enbridge said the oil that spilled from 6A was heavy crude from Saskatchewan. The oil in 6B was from Cold Lake, Alberta, and appears to have been from the controversial tar sands, though Enbridge initially denied this was the case. Environmental groups including the NRDC point out that Enbridge's Lakehead System is a primary conduit from the tar sands to the Great Lakes, running through pipelines built before the growth of the tar sands industry. They note that little research has been done about the effect that carrying tar sands has on pipelines.
Henderson asks: "What were these pipelines built to carry, what kind of pressure can they withstand, what kind of corrosive issues are presented by a heavy crude that has a different chemical base" than conventional oil? "These are questions that have to be probed and reviewed. Analysis needs to be undertaken by appropriate authorities and made clear to the public. The general public is remarkably uninformed about the infrastructure that makes its way through their communities, and what's inside it. That's not accidental."

I am 32 weeks. When do you lose your "PLUG"? And if lost today, when does labor start?

Losing your plug at 32 weeks is normal. My doctor told me that most women lose theirs around 4 weeks from delivery, but can lose it earlier than that like around 30 weeks. You can lose your plug for many reasons and one could be that your baby has dropped and the extra added pressure made you lose your plug. Once you lose your plug you can start dialating, but you can start dialating now and not go into labor until your due date. You can stay dialated for weeks before it progresses enough to be called active labor. So dont worry there is no correct answer as to when you would go into labor, just when your body is ready. Good luck!posted 09/18/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
You can start labor a few hours after u lose it a few days or even a few weeks. If u did lose it and u think u did its best u call your doctor b/c your still early and when u lsoe your mucas lug it menas u have satrted to dialate which isnt good at 32 weeks. So if u think u did u really need to call!posted 09/03/2007 by Eliz_Anthony10-24
With my first baby I lost my plug at week 23. I was then in the hospital for three weeks on bed rest. Some women go into labor right after losing their plug, some wait a long time. For me, I lost my plug but my cervix did not dilate or efface for three weeks. I was told to expect to be in labor within 48 hours, but that I could possibly wait until I was term. The most important thing to do if you lose the plug is to call your OB IMMEDIATELY. Losing your plug potentially exposes your little one to infection, not to mention pre-term birth. Most likely if you do lose the plug, you will be admitted and placed on bedrest until you give birth. My son was born at week 26 after somehow surviving and growing with only 10% of amniotic fluid. He spent 94 days in the NICU and has been home almost 7 months now. He's doing great and developing perfectly :)posted 09/09/2007 by psydwombat
i too am at 32 weeks and havent lost mine yet. I lost mine with my first at 34 weeks and was only dilated to a 1 a week later. I stayed at a one for 3 weeks after and then finally went into labor. If you loose it let your doctor know so they can check you for dilation. But don't panic.posted 10/23/2007 by JoeyNShansMom
I lost my "PLUG" about 3 weeks before I delivered my first child. It varies. Mainly, it can be used as a sign (like so many) that your "big day" is coming soon. You will want to speak with your doctor if it happens. My Doctor vetoed baths until post pregnancy. Some women do not loose their PLUG. My Mother didn't even know what I was talking about when I told her I had lost mine.posted 10/09/2007 by Spitfi01
im 35 weeks and im 1 cm and i had lost my "plug" at 33 weeks. but my cervix has not begun to efface yet. so yes with you being 1 cm and 75% thinned out you did loose your plugposted 10/12/2007 by weber34
I am 30 weeks, I am having cramps in my lower stomach. It feels like my daughter is getting in position, but I didn't have my son until I was 39 weeks. This is my 2nd child could I go into labor early?posted 04/26/2016 by MalloryCrawford1989
To those who are asking "what is a plug", it's also called a mucus plug among other things. It's a clear-ish jelly-like substance that is there to protect from infections and stuff during pregnancy. This coming away is usually a good sign you're almost 'ready" (mine came away both times almost exactly 24 hours before my waters broke, both babies born 11 days before their respective due dates!). You'll find it like a discharge in your knickers; or wipe when you go to the bathroom, or something similar. I think if it seems the wrong colour, like bloody or something, you're supposed to mention it to your midwife (or whoever your primary maternity carer is); but mine were both 'normal' colour. On the other hand my sister's two first pregnancies she had no discharge nor waters breaking at all...both babies born in the sack...so every occasion is different I think. I would assume it's possible you may not even notice you've lost it - like it comes away while you're going to the toilet...posted 01/20/2013 by Cerddinen
What is this plug?posted 11/26/2012 by Olubusola2
Typicaly you lose your plug when you are ready to give birth, but there are a number of reasons that could cause you to lose it early. If you've noticed leaking that your are positive isn't urine you should definately call your OB or go to the ER. As previously stated, losing your plug could expose your child to infection so really do call or go to the hospital. If you lose it today at 32 weeks, I would say you'd probably start labor within 24/48 hrs.posted 09/18/2007 by Dragonangel413

Bradford City last 11: W-D-D-W-D-L-W-D-D-W-W
Arsenal last 11: W-L-D-D-W-W-D-D-L-L-W
As I stood on the sterile steps of Wembley, hungover and looking on as a smattering of brightly attired fans milled round, I thought about what it would mean if Arsenal were to win the League Cup that day. "Winning begets winning" I told myself, "remember what Chelsea did in the League Cup final in 2007? They put out an experienced squad who simply ripped the trophy out of the grasp of Wenger's boys' hands. And they did that then and they do it every season because they know that every trophy counts. Winning begets winning."
By the end of that day, Arsenal had the trophy plucked from their hands as the impish Obafemi Martins latched on to a Koscielny mistake and scored a last minute winner. And as if to put as fine a point on the importance of winning as possible, Arsenal limped into the Champions League places putting on one of the worst finishes to a season that I have ever witnessed as an Arsenal fan.
I'd had two moments of foreboding that day. The first moment came during warm-ups. The Arsenal boys were calmly playing piggy in the middle and joking around in our end of the pitch and when I looked up at the other end, the Birmingham boys were aggressively practicing aerial duels and going in hard against each other. "That's just a show" I thought, as Liam Ridgewell put a teammate on his ass to win the ball. "We just beat them the week before" I reassured myself, but the little feeling was there, they seemed to want it more.
The second moment was when Martins came on the pitch. I don't know if anyone else felt it, but I just thought that he was going to get the winner. It wasn't logical, his record that season had been terrible, it was a feeling.
And now this morning, every major paper has Arsenal taking the game easily, 3-1 and so on. Even the blogs (that I read) are taking a very easy approach to this game. There's very little sense of trepidation at this tie which Michael Cox called "tricky". And it was, in fact, Michael Cox's column for Arsenal.com which gave me that sinking feeling.
I don't know Bradford City from Bradford Park Avenue so I have to rely on good reporting from reliable sources like Michael Cox and from his description, Bradford City have all the makings of a team that can beat Arsenal. Their manager is Phil Parkinson, a younger manager who seems tactically astute. Most days they set up in a 4-4-2 with a main target man James Hanson who is 6'4″ and his job is to knock the ball down to their pocket rocket Nahki Wells. Sound familiar? That's what Nikola Zigic and Obafemi Martins did to undo Arsenal. Wells has 14 goals this season, Hanson has 5 and leads Bradford with 4 assists.
In midfield, Bradford should close space and try to harass Coquelin and Ramsey off the ball. Slick passing is going to be absolutely imperative from the very first whistle to the last. Not just because passing quickly is the best defense to a pressing game but because it will wear Bradford down quickly and force them into a different shape. The pitch is going to be frozen today and I'm sure the Bradford City groundskeepers aren't going to be overly fussy about making the surface a nice place for Arsenal to pass around on.
On paper, Arsenal's superior technical ability and physical conditioning should win the day but there's one more factor that I haven't seen anyone talk about, the pressure. Arsenal have all the pressure on them. The weight of expectation from the press can be largely ignored, but the expectations of the fans should not be. I've read the comments here about how Arsenal fans overreact to everything and it's easy to dismiss "the other" fans as weirdos and freaks but supporters I greatly respect, people with cool heads, have been privately and publicly worried about this match.
There's some talk about the reaction the fans will have if Arsenal lose today. That any loss at all could cause some fans to take their anger to the streets. At the end of the Birmingham City loss I'd never heard such anger among the fans as I had that night. There were calls for the manager to be sacked, that Arsenal needed to buy a player who could "win a fucking header" but still, they were a minority and largely met with eye rolls and nervous guffaws. The majority of the folks who trudged back to the trains were more funeral than riotous.
Tonight, it's the type of performance that Arsenal put in that will decide the fan reaction. A good win and Arsenal will be "back on track for the treble" and calls for me to write effusive prose about how this is the greatest team ever under Arsene Wenger's tenure will only grow (they've already started and Arsenal have only won one game). An all action match with the youngsters pressing all over the pitch and getting in on some tasty challenges but barely losing on the back of a bad call (you can bet that any sniff of a foul in the box and Bradford will get a penalty) will mollify the self described "angry" contingent. But a spineless performance against a League Two side who only seek too exploit weaknesses that every Arsenal fan has been complaining about for the last 5 years? Well, that's unthinkable, right?
So, why is there this lump in my gut?

[Continued from Part 1]
II. The Argument from Insufficient Evidence against the Existence of God
Another way in which I sought to deny the God of Scripture was by claiming that there simply wasn't enough evidence to prove His existence. My argument ran something like this:
Major Premise: If an all good, all powerful, and all knowing God exists, then He will provide sufficient evidential grounds for placing one's faith in Him.
Minor Premise: However, sufficient evidential grounds for belief in God do not exist.
Conclusion: Therefore, God does not exist.
This argument is a variation of the argument from evil against the existence of God, as it attempts to show that (a)if God is good then He will desire the salvation of all men, and if He desires their salvation and He is all good, then (b)He will provide sufficient evidential grounds for belief in His existence, and if He does (a) and (b) it is because He has (c) omniscient comprehension of what constitutes sufficient evidential grounds for belief in Him.
There are two big problems with this argument: (i.)Induction never leads to certainty; therefore, the accumulation of data regarding the existence of God can never establish with 100% certainty that God exists, let alone that the sun will rise tomorrow morning and/or set tomorrow evening;[1] and (ii.)Even if "sufficient evidence" could be appealed to as the basis for one's belief in God, then the question that lingers is: Who decides what counts as evidence? Problem (i.) is one that I agreed with, even as an atheist, and which I used to justify my general skepticism, as well as my atheism. Claiming to be a skeptic is very helpful, as it leaves you with a veneer of nobility and provides an excuse for one's immoral behavior (whether in the form of unbelief or complete hedonism), because if all one is doing is waiting for "sufficient evidence" to come in order to make a "rational decision" about whether or not God exists, then how can one be held morally accountable for not believing? After all, isn't it God's job to provide sufficient evidential grounds for belief in Him?
It is because induction never leads to certainty that one can always claim that sufficient evidence is lacking and feel completely justified in one's unbelief. This was my justification for not believing and for feeling morally superior to those who tried to get me to believe in God. I considered myself more noble, more moral for not believing in God without "sufficient evidence" (which I never defined, by the way), and I considered my friends to be immoral for trying to get people to believe in God without having "sufficient evidence." Thus, I was morally justified and morally superior for holding to skepticism and unbelief in God.
But, you see, the problem is: In order to be a skeptic, one has to be more certain of some things than one is of the matter of which one is skeptical. Otherwise, one wouldn't even be able to raise the first question regarding the existence of God. Therefore, it was incumbent upon me to prove the certainty of those things which I was assuming were certain, and which were necessary to the formulation of any meaningful questions/doubts that I could have raised. So, for instance, I had to ask myself: Am I certain that my senses (i.)have the capacity to mediate facts about the external world to me, let alone (ii.)mediate that knowledge accurately?
Did I have sufficient evidence to support my belief in the mediatorial function of my senses? No. Did I have sufficient evidence to support my belief that my senses accurately mediated facts about the external world to me? No. Then how could I honestly demand that "sufficient evidence" regarding the existence of God be given to me? I couldn't, but I still demanded it. And that is where the moral accusation comes in: "If God is good," I reasoned, "He would certainly provide me with what I consider to be 'sufficient evidence.' Therefore, God is not good." Note that my denial of God's existence really had no relation to whether or not He had provided me with sufficient evidence. I was, as all atheists who seek to deny God's existence using an argument like this are, simply trying to indict God of immoral behavior.
Problem (ii.) is where things really get sticky. This is the problem of who determines what counts as "evidence" for the existence of God. What is to be counted as evidence? Says who? If there is no universal standard that determines what counts as "evidence," then any standard set forth by the unbeliever will always be (a.)provisional and (b.)subject to change via an indeterminable number of subtle qualifications. Again, this sort of "argument" is very helpful if one wishes to completely duck out of an argument altogether while making it appear that one is still engaged in that argument. Here's what I mean: If an atheist's standard for evidence is always provisional (i.e. serving his own purposes) and always subject to change via innumerable qualifications, then the atheist can appear to be seriously seeking evidence for God's existence, when in reality he's just refusing to accept any evidence given to him.
While the claim of atheists like Bertrand Russell, who say that there simply isn't enough evidence to believe in God, is absolutely bogus, even if it were true it would not be an argument against the existence of God. Rather, it would be an argument against the manner in which God has chosen to reveal Himself. In other words, yet again, the argument would be against the character of God and not His existence. I didn't realize this until the Lord regenerated me and gave me eyes to see, ears to hear, and the mind of Christ to understand that my arguments against the existence of God were really nothing more than pitiful complaints against the Sovereign of the Universe who chose to do things in His own way and never chose to ask me for my permission. And this is what the atheist is doing when he argues that the existence of gratuitous evil is incompatible with belief in an omnibenevolent God, since God's omnibenevolence in no way necessitates that He eliminate gratuitous evil at this moment, and to claim that one knows that the elimination of gratuitous evil at this moment would be a morally superior action for God to perform is to claim that one is omniscient – that is to say, it is an implicit criticism of God's omniscience. Similarly, to argue that God "hasn't provided enough evidence" for one to believe in Him is not to argue against His existence, it is to criticize Him for not doing things in a way that meets the atheist's standards.
If there is an argument against God's existence, and not just the typical assaults on God's character that atheists viciously sling around, I've yet to hear it.

Anderson, Assistant Professor at Reformed Theological Seminary (Charlotte, NC), has a great article dealing with the problem of induction raised by philosophers like David Hume and Bertrand Russell and the (failed) attempts of secular philosophers to solve the problem.

Oracle Schedules Event to Discuss Sun Plans
Invitations from Larry Ellison don't tend to match the buzz of those from his friend Steve Jobs. But Oracle's CEO is still likely to draw a crowd for his next Webcast, despite scheduling it the same day and time Apple's chief is expected to be showing off a new tablet computer.
Oracle said Wednesday that it will share its plans for integrating Sun Microsystems on the morning of Jan. 27, the latest sign that the companies expect the deal to be cleared by antitrust regulators in Europe. The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that people close to the companies expect the deal to be cleared within the next few days, although there are still a few other procedural steps before it can close.
Software-maker Oracle agreed in April to pay $7.4 billion for Sun, which gets most of its revenue from computer hardware. Sun had earlier been in talks with IBM, but a potential deal fell through in part because the companies feared it would face a tough antitrust review. The acquisition by Oracle, on the other hand, was widely seen as less likely to face regulatory scrutiny because there is little overlap among the products the companies make. Indeed, the U.S. cleared the deal in August.
Regulators in Europe, though, have been investigating the deal since September, focusing their review on Sun's MySQL database program, which some critics argue could become a competitor to Oracle in the future. But Oracle appeared to allay those fears in December, when it pledged to continue supporting MySQL. Wednesday's announcement was another indication.
A press release issued by Oracle Wednesday includes caveats that the deal might not be approved or that it could be further delayed. But it's hard to imagine Oracle scheduling such an event if it wasn't feeling optimistic.
And an emailed invitation that followed a bit later seems pretty effusive, stating that only "Oracle + Sun" will be able to perform feats like offering a broad range of servers, storage, networking and software; simplifying IT management and reducing deployment and integration costs; and continuing to drive innovation in technologies such as Sun's Sparc chips and Java software.
"Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about how this powerful combination will transform the IT industry," the invitation advises.

Movies | This film is a muddy mess that will certainly bore both adults and children alike
The camera swoops into a magical candy factory, glistening conveyor belts jet in every direction carrying flights of chocolate and gummy confections while miniature workers operate whizzing mechanical gadgets and an enormous fountain erupts in streams of jelly beans.
The introduction to the Easter Bunny's factory at the beginning of Hop is an animated wonderland, a playful nod to Roald Dahl and a moment of genuine marvel and delight in a movie that otherwise fails to incite either marvel or delight. The new animated/live-action hybrid from the creators of Despicable Me has neither the wit nor the creativity of its predecessor but instead relies on predictable gags and boring plot points to create a film that's both tedious and uninspired.
The story follows a rebellious 20-something slacker who dreams of being a rock 'n' roll drummer but is expected to take over his father's business. The twist is that the slacker is E.B., an animated rabbit, and his father is the Easter Bunny. The occasionally funny British comedian Russell Brand voices the rebellious E.B., who ducks out on his father's expectations two weeks before Easter and heads to Hollywood in search of his dreams.
Meanwhile, in the land of the humans, Fred (the likeable James Marsden) is a hapless man-child whose parents boot him from their house, insisting he get his life together. One unimaginative plot turn leads to another and after Fred accidentally hits E.B. with his car, the two team up to help each other. Meanwhile, back at Easter headquarters, a scheming chick (voiced by the funny Hank Azaria) plots to take over Easter and step in as the new "bunny." Ultimately, it's up to Fred and E.B. to save the day.
Unfortunately, the fantasy never gels and the film is a muddy mess that will certainly bore both adults and children alike. Rated PG, the movie includes some child-inappropriate humor.

Harper girls win hoops season opener
By Danny Hirt —
Behind double-digit scoring from Sarah Whitten and Logan White — who netted 13 and 12 points, respectively — the Harper High School girls' varsity basketball team opened the 2013-14 season with a 54-26 victory over Ingram at home Tuesday evening.
The Ladyhorns will travel to Ozona on Saturday for their next encounter. The junior varsity teams will face off at 2 p.m., followed by the varsity game.
From there, Harper will visit Llano on Tuesday, Nov. 19, with the JVs locking up at 5 p.m., while the varsity teams play at 6:15 p.m.
Harper 54, Ingram 26
Harper shook off a relatively slow start, gaining momentum along the way, as it disposed of visiting Ingram Tuesday evening by a 54-26 margin.
White helped lead the way with nine rebounds.

Car sales in India rose to 1,56,018 units in September, the highest level this fiscal, raising hopes of a rebound in the market, which has been reeling under a prolonged slump.
"The good news is that for cars, passenger vehicles, utility vehicles and two-wheelers, September was the best month in terms of absolute numbers this fiscal. I hope we can continue with this momentum," SIAM President Vikram Kirloskar told reporters here.
However, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), struck a cautious note, saying it was unlikely that passenger car sales would post positive growth this fiscal under current economic circumstances.
It said the decline of 4.67 per cent in car sales in the first half of this fiscal was the worst since 2002-03, when sales dropped by 6.96 per cent in the same period.
Asked if the September sales reflected a rebound in the market, Kirloskar said: "It is difficult to say, but we have had a good monsoon and some positives around."
Kirloskar said it was unlikely for car sales to post positive growth this fiscal "unless something really nice happens in the festive season."
"I will be really happy if there is flat or even a slight positive growth this fiscal," he added.
Domestic passenger car sales grew 0.73 per cent in September from 1,54,884 units a year earlier.
Market leader Maruti Suzuki India posted a 14.52 per cent growth in domestic sales at 78,975 units last month as against 68,957 units in the same period last year.
Hyundai Motor India posted a marginal decline at 30,580 units compared with 30,795 units last year. Tata Motors' domestic sales dropped 42.99 per cent to 9,766 units from 17,133 units.
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd posted a 19.09 per cent dip in utility vehicle sales at 18,019 units as against 22,272 units. Honda Cars India sales were up 85.64 per cent to 10,220 units.
Kirloskar said macroeconomic challenges such as high interest rates, inflation and fuel prices continue to affect consumer sentiment.
Kirloskar said employment of contract workers and trainees across the chain in the industry from component suppliers to manufacturers to dealers has been affected "significantly."
On the stimulus package that the industry has sought from the government, he said: "We are trying very hard to explain to the government."
In August, domestic car sales rose 15.37 per cent to 1,33,486 units, ending a record nine-month slump in sales. Kirloskar said owing to the slump, there is

Have you tried finding discussion boards to post a link to your proposal? How about comments on blog posts? Have you figured power search terms to find like minded people to invite? What about effectiveness of your efforts?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
My best bet is just ask real questions and let Google take care of the rest.
For instance with Gaming.SE we have over 150 Starcraft 2 questions, if you ask a question that someone else is likely to have, they will start popping up in the search results.
This will draw more new users than me writing a blog post or sharing it on Twitter/Facebook...
So just keep asking real, expert questions and others will come
I asked a similar question recently but that seemed to get interpreted specifically for my Q&A, about wikis, thanks for asking... =:-)
For now I've relied on promotion via Twitter (which got exactly one extra follower) and Area 51 contributors.
I asked some more successful Q&A authors and they said it just happened by itself. So I guess it is about:
Well, make sure you avail yourself of the built in mechanisms for promoting!
During definition phase, click "share this"
During commitment phase, check the area underneath your commitment:
(this is also how you build the referral numbers for the proposal that are attached to you in this proposal.)
So far, I have done strictly nothing* :)
And it hasn't been very effective.
*Until now, answering this question with a link :)
Actually, one guy did say, try to get Jeff to retweet your proposal on Twitter! =:-) (true) I tried but, no luck. =:-)
You could put StackImage flair on your blog or as your signature on forums.
I have mentioned this on a couple sites with some positive feedback.

text: The personal dream of its architect owner, Jade Mountain has a breathtaking design unlike any other hotel in the world. There are less than 30 accommodations, all but five of which are "Infinity Pool Sanctuaries," rather than rooms or suites. These are multi-level combination indoor and outdoor living spaces featuring spacious decks and infinity pools cantilevered out into the sky with hard to believe views of the Caribbean and St. Lucia's famous twin mountain peaks, the Pitons. These are not your typical resort private plunge pools, and are larger than most luxury hotel rooms at 450-900 square feet. Each is handmade of tiny iridescent tiles and features chromotherapy lighting, but the real signature of the rooms is the complete absence of an exterior wall, or as the owner likes to think of it, the Caribbean itself is the "fourth wall." The entire Sanctuary is open to the tropical breezes and amazing vistas, and to this end, every room has been specially positioned so that there is no place on land or sea from which you can see in. The entire resort is on a mountain peak, with the sanctuaries in a hub layout surrounding the central building, linked by suspended bridges. The whole thing is futuristic and incredible but it doesn't stop there: rates at Jade Mountain are all-inclusive, every room comes with a butler, meals are served either in the main restaurant or via room service, and many guests, especially honeymooners, don't leave their sanctuaries for days at a time. Jade Mountain has its own fitness center, spa, and rooftop yoga classes, but since the same owner has the upscale and much larger Anse Chastenet beach resort at the bottom of the mountain, Jade guests also get full run of its facilities, including several more restaurants, top ranked dive operation, private planation with extensive trail network for "jungle biking," beaches, a second spa and fitness center and much more. Your butler will drive you back and forth.

History of Boys' Village. My final major project for my BA Photography degree.
I was born in Poland in 1985. When I was ten I received her first camera – a Zenit E – from my father and started my experiments with photography. In 2005 I left the country in search of a better life and settled in Cardiff, UK. The main fields of photography I am interested in are documentary, landscape and urbex. My inspirations are the works of Roger Tiley, John Davies and John Cornwell. The topics I touches upon in my works are the history of South Wales, human memories and protection of the environment. I took part in a number of group exhibitions organised by e.g. The Big Fuss, Peaceful Progress, Milkwood Gallery and Ffotogallery. I am currently preparing for a couple of solo exhibitions which will take place in Autumn.

100g wheat
500g sugar
2 tbsps. Nuts (sliced fine)
½ tsp, colour
1 tsp. vanilla essence
75g ghee
Preparation :
Soak wheat in water for 24 hours. Wash the wheat well and grind using a little water to a fine paste.

The most famous Goa's sweetmeats is bebinca, a wonderful concoction made from layer upon layer of coconut pancakes. Cooking the perfect bebinca is an art form, for not only does the cook have to be timed just right to ensure that all layers are cooked equally, it'll put inches on you waistline if you develop a taste for it, but it's not to be missed. Dodol is another famous Goan sweet, traditionally eaten at Christmas time, and made with rice flour, coconut milk, jaggery and cashew nuts. It is usually cooled in a flat pan and served in slices, and is very sweet. Doce, made with chickpeas and coconut is another favorite.

The Elements of Autistic Behaviour
An individual exhibiting Autistic Behaviour may or may not have an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. There are a number of infectious and neurological diseases, and other issues besides Autism which might produce symptoms which mimic those of Autism; some of those are: deafness, mental retardation, central nervous system disorders, or metabolic degenerative CNS disorders and schizophrenia.
Autistic behaviour is generally broken down into the three core areas which are affected communication, socialization and behaviour patterns. An Individual exhibiting impaired development in some or all of these areas might have an Autism Spectrum Disorder or something else with similar symptoms.
Impaired communication skills: a victim of Autism typically exhibits an inability to communicate properly. This might be a lack of speech development, a delay in development, or an abnormality in the way in which the individual speaks or tries to speak; or in the more extreme cases there may be no use of language atall.
Impaired socialization and interaction: an Autism Disorder Sufferer will typically display poor use of body language and an inadequate use or understanding of general body language, facial expressions and general awareness of the emotions of others around them. Often they will appear detached or otherwise disengaged from their social group. They may even display an emotion which is inappropriate to the circumstances; they tend to be unaffectionate and unemotional, resisting affection from others. They don't bond well and have difficulty making friends, and are often thought to have hearing difficulties.
Impaired behaviour: Autism is often characterised by the body movements and activities of a sufferer. An Autistic child will often resort to a highly restricted set of activities and their behaviour follow strict patterns. They will desire routine and will resist any change. Often, a child will exhibit repetitive body movements too, such as flapping their arms, clapping hands, or rocking their bodies to and fro. They will often appear compulsive and obsessive in their daily actions and interests.
Autism shares many of these traits with other disorders and impairments but this particular collection of type, severity and number of traits present together in an individual are characteristic of overall Autistic behaviour.

A pair of mysterious images labeled vr1.png and vr2.png has appeared on The Witness blog. Game creator Jonathon Blow titles the post with an ambiguous question: "What could it mean??"
The images bear a resemblance to the multi-screened nature of the Oculus Rift, therefore the"vr1" and "vr2" labels are certainly displayed as fitting acronyms for "virtual reality." This could be a foreseeable venture into a different method of gameplay interaction, especially now that Sony, according to CVG, is rumored to be developing a VR headset akin to the Oculus Rift.
Virtual reality devices aren't new to the industry, but this concept could prove to be a worthwhile investment for Sony and for the console market. Is this a future that you're willing to jump into, or is this nothing more than another gimmick that's just trying to break the mold? Share your thoughts below.

With that photo floating around the internet of Louis Tomlinson's bare bum, and the revelation that he sleeps in the nude, it is good to see that he still knows how to wear clothing.
During an interview in the US with radio station 93.3 FLZ, Tomlinson revealed:
"I always sleep naked," he revealed, "So much easier. It's been in your boxers all day, restricted, it needs time to breathe." Yes, free willy!
Louis' bandmate Nail Horan posted a photo of a naked Tomlinson in the show to his Instagram account. The pic showing his bare bottom was quickly taken down, but not before every tween took a screenshot of the photo.
Seemingly without a care in the world, Louis and his girlfriend Eleanor Calder got flirty with one another as they make their way through Nice Cote d'Azur Airport today (July 10, 2012) to catch a departing flight after enjoying a romantic vacation on the French Riviera.

After wrapping up Sajid Khan's masala-action fiesta Himmatwala, Ajay Devgn has hardly had a breather before starting his schedule for Prakash Jha's political-drama Satyagraha.
The film which also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and Manoj Bajpayee, is being extensively shot in Bhopal and Devgn is to shoot there till mid March after which he is back in the city to prop up his Himmatwala which is slated to release on March 29.
With Satyagraha targeting August for release in 2013, Devgn has two such promising and diverse films up his sleeve this year. And he's not done for the year yet. After this he has Prabhu Dheva's next as well as Singham 2 in the pipeline, both of which are 2014 releases.
After Bol Bachchan and Son Of Sardaar, his two roaring successes in 2012, it seems 2013 is just going to get bigger and better for Ajay.

Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott has ruled out the possibility of reuniting the band following the death of his guitarist brother Darrell Abbott.
Abbott insists fans pushing for the band to enlist another guitarist to replace his brother for a reunion are being nothing but "selfish."
He says, "They want what they want; they don't care what you want. And it's unfortunate that people go, 'Oh, wow, man, they can get (guitarist) Zakk Wylde to jump up there onstage and it's Pantera again'. No, it's not, you know. It's not that simple.
"If Eddie Van Halen was to get shot in the head four times next week, would everybody be going, 'Hey, man, Zakk, go play for Van Halen. Just call it Van Halen'. You see what I'm saying? I mean, it's really selfish for people to think that, and it's stupid. It's not right at all.
"They call it a reunion for a reason. It's called bringing the original members back to what it was. So there's a lot of these things that they call reunions that aren't really reunions. They've got one dude from the band floating around in them, you know. That's not a true reunion. With Pantera, it'll never be possible."
"Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was killed by a gunman while on stage in Columbus, Ohio in 2004.

Aileen Wheaton visits Grant Medical Center every five weeks for an IV drug.
It keeps her rheumatoid arthritis in check. After four decades of decline, the illness is coming back, according to a study from the Mayo Clinic.
Seventy percent of all rheumatoid arthritis patients are women and most are in their 50s or 60s when they are diagnosed, 10TV's Andrea Cambern reported.
SPECIAL SECTION: Female Focus
"You play the mind game with yourself and you think, 'I'm getting a little older. Is this that?'" Wheaton said. "The inflammation was just kind of taking over in my body."
Dr. Heather Lake has a personal interest in treating rheumatoid arthritis patients. She has the disease herself.
In college, she remembered waking up one morning and her hands were completely closed.
Within days, the pain moved to her elbows and feet. Lake saw a doctor who recommended a specialist.
"Seeing patients in the chairs with various deformities and not really knowing how the progression of my disease was going to go, and what was going to happen," Lake said.
She said that having the illness helps her understand her patients' pain. Rheumatoid arthritis attacks and destroys the joints.
Wheaton said that she is a believer that it is crucial to get diagnosed and treated quickly.

To be fair, when I happened to walk into Anthropologie at The Grove yesterday and found myself in the midst of a fashion show about to begin, it was probably not impromptu. I'm sure someone planned it. But to me, it was an impromptu finding, and I'd like to keep imagining that all my favorite stores, at some point, will decide to up and have a fashion show the moment I walk through the doors.
Anyway, here are some of my favorite looks from their fall selection (try to ignore the big, bright window in the back…iPhone…impromptu…synergy…) More

Hi I dont know what I am doing wrong I thought it would be simple. I removed my old
Shower arm and purchased a new one. I wraped teflon over it and it is not staying on it screws on and then I put pressure on it and it falls off. Also my pipes are of old galvized I don't know if that makes a
difference. Please help me
You probably need to get the tape tighter. Applying it clockwise, hold the loose end and stretch the tape tight as you go around two or three turns. Then pinch it into the threads with our fingers.
I tell you what I do. I start winding the tape on the chrome of the shower head arm. I lay the tape flat on the chrome, wind it twice like a candy cane towards the end of the threads that insert into the fitting, then wind it twice back to the flat of the crome the same direction without stopping. What this does is leave no exposed end where the pipe inserts into the threads. Both exposed ends are back on the chrome arm. So as you thread it into the joint, there is nothing to catch on the inside of the female thread.
Good Luck

They're mining the past in Jamestown and Columbia.
There was a lot of gold in them thar Sierra foothills. There probably still is, but the real mining these days in Gold Country is of the area's history and the gold rush atmosphere that still lingers, in somewhat gentrified form, among its picturesque small towns. Two of the best places to enjoy a weekend of mid-19th-century California with amenities of the late-20th century are Jamestown and Columbia. They're only a few miles apart in California's southern Gold Country.
Jamestown survives mostly as a picturesque main street. "The Queen of the Southern Mines" looks like a Gold Rush town cleaned up and thoughtfully modernized (which is exactly what it is), but its heritage is obvious. Many 19th-century buildings survive along this cheerful street. It's easy to picture gambling joints and saloons alternating with each other along its few blocks, even though the old buildings now are more likely to house B&Bs and antique shops.
Stop in at the Visitor Center in the Royal Hotel building and pick up a copy of "Early Days in Jamestown" for a walking tour of Main Street and some local history. Browse the antique shops (a dozen by the Visitor Center's official count), get a "Cowboy Collectible," take a gold-panning tour, pause for home-made pastry and coffee at the Coffee Emporium or for a bracer at the Willow Steak House & Saloon. Sounds of extroverted camaraderie floating from the bar's capacity crowd at 3:30 the day we were in town made television beer ads seem less an exaggeration.
Be sure to follow the signs a couple of blocks to Railtown 1897 State Park. Jamestown has had a real railroad since the 1890s. The Sierra RR still has its original steam locomotive (built in 1891 and familiar to "Petticoat Junction" viewers). Over a hundred movies and a bunch of television programs have been filmed along the Sierra's tracks.
Now run by The California State Railroad Museum, the park offers self-guided tours of the working turn-of-the-century machine shops and roundhouse where four steam locomotives are maintained. You can take steam train rides weekends May through Labor Day on the hour from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There's a newly created history room in the depot, and picnic tables on the shaded, grassy area between the wisteria and the roundhouse.
While Jamestown looks like a somewhat evolved, if well-preserved, Gold Rush town, Columbia seems to have changed very little in 140 years. Jamestown was already a going concern in 1850 when gold was discovered in Columbia. The title of Queen having been taken, Columbia soon became "The Gem of the Southern Mines" and quickly grew to a raucous peak of several thousand hopefuls.
The place still is a gem, and it still can get crowded, especially on weekends. Although a state park and a preserved bit of the 19th century, Columbia is also to some extent a going concern. The blacksmith shop, carpenter shop, bakery, confectioners, two hotels (more accurately, B&Bs), restaurants, a saloon or two, and stores line the streets.
You can still ride the stagecoach. Gold panning opportunities still exist; get a little practice at the handy troughs by the Matelot Gold Mine Supply Store (where you also can buy a ticket for a gold mine tour). Stop by the fire station for a look at some truly antediluvian equipment. After dinner, enjoy an evening of theater at a Columbia Actors' Repertory presentation in the Fallon House, (209) 532-4644.

Where to stay
Picturesque accommodations are part of the fun in this B&B-rich zone. The AAA Bed and Breakfast guide lists 15 B&Bs in the Jamestown-Columbia-Sonora area, and the AAA California/NevadaTourBook suggests 6 motels. The City Hotel, (209) 532-1479, and the Fallon Hotel, (209) 532-1470, are right in traffic-free Columbia SHP. Each boasts 19th-century decor that's a few notches classier than what actually was available in the town's heyday.
On Jamestown's Main Street, the 1859 National Hotel, (209) 984-3446, has a saloon and a pleasant vine-roofed patio for dining. The equally atmospheric Royal Hotel, (209) 984-5271, is by the Visitor Center, (209) 984-4616. The Jamestown Hotel, (209) 984-3902, with its wood-paneled Victorian ambiance and pleasant dining room is also on Main Street, while the Palm Hotel, (209) 984-3429, more large home than hotel in appearance, is off, but handy to, the beaten path on Willow Street.
The very reasonably priced Columbia Gem Motel, (209) 532-4508, near Columbia SHP, has a slightly more contemporary brand of old timey: Some of its rooms are tiny cabins reminiscent of motor court days.
Where to eat
You'll see many nice eating establishments in your rambles. Beside those mentioned earlier, consider Michelangelo for Italian food in an embossed tin ceiling atmosphere. The Bella Union offers venison, elk, and alligator among more familiar fare. Kamm's is a nice Chinese restaurant with modest prices. All are on Jamestown's Main Street. In Columbia, the City Hotel has an excellent restaurant with a good wine list.
Planning your stay
Consult your AAA Bed and Breakfast guide and California/Nevada TourBook. Use the Bay and Mountain Section and Sonora, Angels Camp and Vicinity maps. For area information, contact the Tuolumne County Visitors Bureau, (800) 446-1332. Columbia SHP and Jamestown can get crowded on summer weekends; it's best to reserve accommodations well in advance.

Many items, including artifacts from the famous King Tutankhamun collection, were targeted by thieves.
Since Egypt's anti-government protests began in January, many museums and archeological sites were looted.
It is estimated that around 1,000 items were stolen, but it will be very difficult for the items to leave the country, say authorities.
Thieves stole around 1,000 relics from museums and archeological sites across Egypt since protests against the government broke out in January, Egypt's minister for antiquities Zahi Hawass said Sunday in a newspaper interview.
"We are investigating all the incidents to find the items. Up until now we have identified many culprits, criminals who were looking for gold or mummies and who lacked knowledge of the value of the items they stole," he told Spanish daily El Mundo.
"They were not organized, they lived near the archeological sites where the objects were kept. They would take advantage of the night to enter the archeological sites and pillage," he added.
"About 1,000 objects were stolen, none of them major items. There is an inventory of everything and it will be difficult for the items to leave the country."
The inventory of all the items that were stolen during the uprising and the weeks of unrest that followed will be given to UNESCO, the UN cultural agency, Hawass said.
The tomb of Hetep-ka at Saqqara and the tomb of Em-pi at Giza as well as the Egyptian museum in Cairo, which houses most of the King Tutankhamen collection, were among the places targeted by thieves, he added.
Hawass was named minister of antiquities last month. He had served as head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities and later became minister of state under ousted president Hosni Mubarak.
