I'll be in New York for a few days this spring, and I already have tickets to "Wicked," but I'd like to see another show or two. Are there any shows that have been slipping under the radar? "Wicked" is so high profile, I'd love to balance it out with a couple of lesser known shows.

And I'm really open to big lists, so if you're theater maniac, throw them at me.

For me I would have to say I was in a dark room with absolutly no light. I couldn't see the front of my hand in my dream but I could feel someone in the room breathing but I didn't know from what direction and so I made my way to a wall feeling around and found a door knob before I opened it. I remember saying Lord be with me and I opened the door at the same time and I saw a ghostly looking face of a devil and it pass right through me, like it ran away. I woke up my heart was pounding and I had chills and goosebumps all over my body. It was really wierd. One more was recently, I dreamed that my little daughter died and in my dream I remember regreting everytime I was to busy or told her to hang on when she wanted to talk to me. I was hurting bad in my dream and was crying. My husband heard me sobbing and woke me up and tears were rolling down my face. It was the first time I ever that sad in my life. I couldn't imagine losing my kids I would go insane. What about your dreams?

Thanks a lot!

Would you argue that the Balfour Dec. of 1917 was key? Or indeed that more long term reasons of immigration and growing zionist acitivty (Herzl, Weizzman) played a larger part? It is undisputed that the creation of Israel in 1948 started the fighting but what was the main trigger behind this? Those mentioned above or indeed others?

Apparently, in the future computers will be able to create genuine virtual reality. In other words, they will be able to build a universe atom by atom, molecule by molecule - completely indistinguishable from the "real" thing - except that it only "exists" within a computer programme. And it could create "beings" to live within this virtual universe, who would have no idea at all that they aren't "real".

If the idea of a multiverse is right, then maybe a scientist from another dimension has already created this programme, and we are it. Maybe the big bang happened when he pressed a button on his keyboard.

If this scientist does exist, then he does so in a way that we cannot understand, his motivations are beyond our comprehension and we are unable to interact with him. Who's that except God?

I am firmly agnostic by the way - I have no idea whether or not God exists and believe that, if he does, I have no hope of ever understanding him.

No seriously. You're not really building their self esteem or confidence if it's a lie. You're not doing them any favors. So, why do you do it?
