True believers will enjoy this website about Remote Viewing, a telepathic means of 'viewing' events in a different time and space. While skeptics will jump on the idea that it is possible for an individual to tune into the 'collective unconscious' and see events in another time and place, organizations such as U.S. Army Intelligence and the CIA have used remote viewers for over two decades. Learn about this mysterious and fascinating process at the PSI tech website, a company formed by former military intelligence officer that has privatized this ethereal data collection technique. Watch in amazement the clip that UPN news did on Remote Viewing a few years back. http://www.remoteviewing.com/video-and-multimedia/trvdemonstration.html Shiokadelicious It's all about the food that makes you go "Schiok!!" Amateur chefs and homemakers will love this enthusiastic Food Blog that focuses on the enjoyment of cooking and sharing homemade dishes. The website's interesting title is derived from colloquial Chinese/Malay that essentially means 'an exclamation of enjoyment'. That is the feeling the site's editor wants you to feel when you prepare and finally taste one of these wonderful culinary creations. Visitors will find scores of recipes from international cuisines, as well as cooking tips and a lot of great 'food talk' on everything from French fries to Fondue. http://www.shiokadelicious.com/ The Morning News Forget trying to masterfully fold a newspaper like your dad used to, this online newspaper will give you everything you need to know without those pesky ink stains and subscription fees. With a format similar to the popular Salon.com, The Morning News is a non-profit, free online news magazine published Monday through Friday. The Morning News covers not only current events, but also has a host of great original articles and interviews. Visitors will find fresh perspectives on relevant topics such as the war in Iraq, the upcoming Presidential election, and other important issues. The paper has a great sense of humor while still offering intelligent and current news from the world of politics, culture, music and entertainment. http://www.themorningnews.org/ SHORT TAKES Paper Plate Education If it can't be explained with a paper plate, maybe you don't want to know it. At Paper Plate Education, complex notions are simplified in hands-on activities that use common paper plates to teach science, math, history, geography and more, from using the arcs on the plate to show the altitude of a star to launching a paper plate from a phonograph to make an alien spacecraft. http://analyzer.depaul.edu/paperplate/
Cut to the chase at The Four Word Film Review where the long-awaited feature "Spiderman" is summed up as "Red guy jumps around" and the Denzel Washington tear-jerker "John Q" earns a crisp "Poor man's Capra … pass." Good reviews, no nonsense.
Maybe false logic is better than none at all but you'd be wise to learn to spot non sequiturs, slippery slopes, equivocations and post hoc reasoning at Stephen's Guide to Logical Fallacies, where you can analyze precisely why the other guy's argument just doesn't add up. http://www.datanation.com/fallacies/index.htm Enjoy the newsletter?

In many cities, it has become commonplace to turn on TV and see live coverage of high-speed police chases which often end tragically. There is even a website that will email you and let you know when a chase is being televised in Los Angeles. Who is watching the media? If you are among those who feel that the media is somewhat untrustworthy and lacking in integrity, this site will hit home with its rants pointing out the shortcomings of the media. Fashion 'Zine The world of fashion is an addictive mixture of glamour and rumor, creativity and capriciousness. For those in the 'know', it is a very superficial business that can be as cutthroat as it is exciting. But those on the outside can rarely see past the smoke and mirrors of an industry built entirely on beauty and attitude, and into the backstage reality of the fashion business. If you've caught the fashion bug, then the Hint Fashion Magazine website will satisfy all of your fashion needs. With monthly updates on the hottest new models, a section devoted entirely to industry gossip, and articles on photographers, designers and other fashion personalities, the site is as chic as they come. There is also a 'Global Fashion Village' where visitors can view videos of 'runway shows' from the Fall 2001 Season, which displays the work of designers in New York, London, Paris and Milan. SUBSCRIBERS' SITES - Many of our subscribers have fascinating on-line projects. This weekly section will introduce you to some of these sites.
