Ages ago, when I was going to music school in Boston I happened to visit the Christian Science Center just down the street from my school. I was blown away upon entering. Everything was marble and the light fixtures where these glass spheres that told the current position of the stars etc.. Just out of curiosity I followed signs to the Mapporarium which was this huge globe of the earth made out of stained glass. Viewing was done from a catwalk that ran through the center of the globe. The stained glass was made using a technique that prevented fading so the colors were just as they were when first made. The acoustic properties of the globe were perfect. 2 people could stand at opposite sides of the catwalk talking in whispers and it would sound just like the other person was talking an inch away from your ear. If you ever get to Boston it's worth the time to experience.

Speaker Pelosi Unveils Unifying Democrat Vision By Scott Ott, Editor-in-Chief, ScrappleFace.com News Fairly Unbalanced. We Report. You Decipher. (2006-05-09) — Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, the presumptive Speaker of the House, today unveiled the fruit of six years labor by the Democrat National Committee to craft a cohesive vision for America that will carry her party to victory in November. The new vision should help the Democrat party overcome the public perception that it’s little more than a loose-knit coalition of special interests — labor unions, civil rights groups and abortion-rights advocates — each devoted exclusively to its own narrow agenda. “The Democrat party is a big tent,” said Speaker-in-waiting Pelosi, “But at the center of that tent is one tall and mighty pole. It represents who we are, and where we’re going. It’s the essence of what it means to be a Democrat.” Rep. Pelosi, who temporarily serves as House Minority Leader, said the Democrat party’s vision is like coffee, “it gives you the serenity to dream it and the vitality to do it.” “The new Democrat vision,” she said, “brings together people with words, and those words form sentences and the sentences paint a picture, and that picture is what America can be if her people devote themselves to the vision.” Asked to map out her first 100 days as Speaker of the House under the new Democrat vision, Rep. Pelosi said, “First, we impeach Bush. Everything else flows from that.”
