Nightmare of nuclear detonation near Australia: meaning?
I was woken an hour ago 1.00am Queensland time, by a nightmare of a nuclear test detonation near Australia. It had been a nuclear test by the Australian Federal Government. The place of the detonation was in the far distance from where I was standing in my dream. There was a small mountain in the foreground similar to the ones on the Sunshine Coast, but it wasn’t happening in Queensland.
It was being televised and Ray Martin was discussing the potential yield, which was going to be small, from the top of a big cement tower of some sort. It detonated early. Oh I rememeber now. there was sea water all around the bottom of the tower and there was a TV image of looking down to the bottom of the tall tower and you could see, as the detonation happened the brick work buckling. The reason for the detonation was to “fix” something that was wrong.
I don’t know what it means. I just needed to tell someone of the nightmare that woke me up. I’ve now got indigestion with reflux. Yuck.!
It was actually your acid-reflux that awoke you when the excess stomach acid splashed into your esophagus . . . Thus, while you were waking up, you had a dream . . . Dreams only last around 8-seconds or so. I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you. You might want to try to take a 12-hour Acid Reducer type of medication prior to going to bed and more than anything . . . If you drink then stop drinking. If you smoke, then stop smoking.

How to Have an Unforgettable 48 hours in London, England
Friday night
Start the weekend with a glass of wine and dinner at Butlers Wharf Chop House and enjoy its spectacular views over the Thames, the Gherkin and Tower Bridge. If you fancy a few drinks in an authentic London pub, head to Prospect of Whitby one of London’s oldest pubs. Join past drinkers such as Charles Dickens and Samuel Pepys (maybe he was drinking here whist London was burning in 1666) and order a pint of cold beer. Then join London’s trendy fashion set at Mayfair bar Funkybuddha and dance the night away to some great RnB. The perfect introduction to London.
Saturday
Start with a trip to the London Eye for amazing views over the city. You can see all the famous landmarks including Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral and The Houses of Parliament. Then watch the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace before wondering around its grand halls soaking in the royal history. Afterwards, hop into one of those famous London cabs and go shopping in swanky department store Harrods. Spoil yourself or your friends with some exclusive luxury items. Have a cosy dinner at Cafe des Amis in Convent Garden (the prix fixe menu will let you eat for under £20) before catching a show at London’s glittering west end.
Saturday Night
London is the party capital and there are hundreds of bars, pubs and clubs to choose from. Start the night off at Lost Society in Clapham and explore themed rooms including the library bar, black and white room and secret garden. Go to the American Bar in the Savoy Hotel which dates back to the nineteenth century and listen to the live jazz band. Move onto No 5 in Cavendish Square or Embassy London in Mayfair for some cocktails and celeb spotting. For a more up-tempo night head down to super clubs Ministry of Sound and Pacha for some of the best club experiences in Europe. You’ll be dancing well into the night.
Sunday
Nurse that hangover with a Full English Breakfast at the New Piccadilly Cafe in Piccadilly Circus. The Cafe still retains an authentic Soho 1950′s feel with original decor and menus. Afterwards take the morning easy with a wander through Camden market and pick up some vintage clothes and jewellery. No trip to London would be complete without High Tea at the Ritz where you can sample the many teas, delicate sandwiches and cakes on offer. Next it’s off to the National Gallery where you can take in famous paintings like Van Gough’s Sunflowers and Monet’s The Water Lilly Pond. Finish the weekend off by getting some fish and chips and watch the sun go down over the Thames.
Does London swing? Probably, but I can definitely say, “it rocks”.
London is number 6 on my list of top 10 BEST places to visit in the World!

Places of interest near water tower place?
I am going to Chicago this Saturday with a school group. We are allowed three hours of free time. My question is what are some cool places I can visit during that time frame and be back and water tower place tower before the bus leaves. I am interested in historical sites and museums.
There’s a lot to do in Chicago, the Water tower place itself is a very historical place in Chicago, it’s the only building to survive the fire of 1871.
The museums are a bit further down from the Water Tower place, but perhaps you could get a few friends and catch a cab down to the Museum Campus, south on Lake Shore drive. Or if you’d rather not a huge place of interest is Navy Pier, its much closer to Water tower place, here you can see lots of unique shops, restaurants, and even grab a short boat ride out on Lake Michigan so you can see the entire city from the lake the view is spectacular. Some of the boat tours take you on a historic tour, or you can book an Archeological tour on the lake and river. It’s quite the experience.
I love Chicago, and hope you have a great time!!

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
