Since it is getting closer to christmas, traffic in downtown manhatten moves very slow this time of year, you shouldn't have any problems driving in Queens. Also the temperture is in the low 40's now so it may be too cold to allow your young one to play in central park for any length of time. There is a lot to see in manhatten, I suggest rockefeller center and radio city music hall (a stroller is a good idea). Macy's is also nice, although a bit crowded. Enjoy yourself.

NYC people or those that have been there
by mariposa init appears we will be visiting nyc from about the 16th of dec. for a week or so.
we are going to see some long lost friends of my husband in queens and i'm sure they'll show us around, but there's also going to be alot of drinking and catching up between them and i'll have quite a bit of free time on my hands.
i don't know if we're going to stay with them or not, i've been checking on craigslist for an apt or something we could rent.

Did any Man Asend to Heaven Before Jesus?
by gumby inas all faithful witnesses to jehovah the most high god well knowjohn 3:13 ).
does anyone have any idea where enoch went.....since he never died?.
the author of the letter to the hebrews says "by faith enoch was transferred, that he should not see death, and was not found, because god had transferred him; for before his transference he had the witness that he had pleased god well.

This is the only place I don't feel ugly
by Abandoned ini want to thank everyone here for all the help and kind words offered to me as i adjust to having worth.
i guess i have a long way to go and i guess i'm going to have to go and see a counselor like someone else suggested.. no matter how hard i work or what i accomplish, i still feel so ugly and i'm still afraid of the stupidest things.
i don't know if my fears are on par with paranoia, but they are definitely distracting and i need to get some outside assistance.. the good news is that around here, with people who've gone through the same, i feel better.

I am a bit of a bookworm and one books that has been tremedously helpful to me is the 'Feeling Good Handbook' by Dr David Burns. The book gets into something known as cognitive theory and has proved quite helpful in helping people get past negative, depressive thinking and anxiety. At the time when I was reading it, it helped me realize some of the distortion in my head and nudged me in the right direction. What a difference it has made in my life. Aaron Beck, who pioneered the therapy was recently given the Lasker Award. Dr David Burns, the author of the 'feeling good handbook' was a student of Aaron Beck and employs Beck techniques throughout the book. When you read it, you are going to realize how much sense it make, the type of thing that you always wish someone could told you earlier in life.

here is the article below
Aaron Beck, Founder of Cognitive Therapy, Receives Coveted Lasker Award
Aaron T. Beck, M.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, the founder of cognitive therapy, and a long-time NIMH grantee, was named the recipient of the prestigious Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research on September 17, 2006. The Lasker Foundation recognizes "scientists, physicians, and public servants whose accomplishments have made major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and even cure of many of the great crippling and killing diseases of our century." Seventy-one recipients of the Lasker Award have gone on to win the Nobel Prize for their work, most within two years of receiving the Lasker Award.
Dr. Beck has received NIH support for more than 40 years, with a total of 13 grants, of which NIMH awarded 11. Trained as a psychiatrist and interested in neurology, Dr. Beck is perhaps most noted for developing cognitive therapy and building the evidence-base for its use in mental health. Through his work spanning more than 50 years, he managed to fundamentally change the classification and treatment of psychiatric disorders. He helped define disease characteristics and developed a vital form of psychotherapy that is used to treat a variety of illnesses, including depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorders, alcoholism, drug abuse, eating disorders, suicidal behavior, and personality disorders. Dr. Beck also helped develop 19 diagnostic scales for measuring symptom severity, including one of the most widely used scales in clinical practice and research, the Beck Depression Inventory. These scales have been critical in bringing about greater rigor in basic research as well as in clinical trials.
In addition, Dr. Beck has published more than 500 research articles, authored or co-authored 17 books, and received numerous research awards and honors. In 1994, Dr. Beck and his daughter, Dr. Judith Beck, founded the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research near Philadelphia, a natural outgrowth of his research center at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Beck has also been named, in separate instances, one of the "Americans in history who shaped the face of American Psychiatry" 1 and one of the "five most influential psychotherapists of all time." 2

Adulterers are Worse than Pedophiles
by gumby in....at least according to jehovahs witnesses.. if a sister at the kingdom hall suspect her hubby is playing naughty with another woman and she finds her hubbys car has been parked at anothers womans house all night, then she can write a letter stating she is sure that adultry has taken pace and divorce him, and he is then disfellowshipped, and she still remains in good standing..............but,.
if a child tells their parents and the brothers at the kingdom hall that they were molested sexually by a brother at the hall, and this accused brother denies this accusation and there is no other witnesses to this claim, then he is veiwed as not guilty and remains in good standing.. why do you suppose the accused adulterer is treated differently.....even if he denies that he commited adultry?.

Laptop Advice
by Mysterious ini was hoping to get some feedback from those of you that have laptops.
i know what i need primarily in terms of system specs so i am more interested in feedback regarding brands.
if you have a laptop i would be interested to know the brand, whether you bought it new or used, how long the warranty was, if you had any issues with it during or after the warranty (and whether these resulted in you having to take it in or send it away for repairs), if you would buy it again, if you recommend the brand on the whole.. i am currently leaning towards toshiba having met a few people that had bad experiences with dell.

Well, I'm on my third laptop now and the present one has been the most useful for school work. 1st compaq - beat it up pretty good (I'm not a careful guy) and had it repaired once. It died in its' forth year (probably a cracked motherboard). 2nd laptop was another Compaq and had it for 4 years. I also beat it up real good (the shell has a hairline crack on the corner but the machine works beautiful, I keep it as a spare) 3rd laptop a gateway tablet and I love this thing. I use it for school all the time and it has been the most useful for note taking. (I think I will buy a tablet from now on, I hope apple comes out with a tablet)
there are some pictures on this thread
