We had about 30 people at our screening of Renewal or Ruin? on Sunday. I was pleased with the turnout and to see folks from other congregations there. It was good to meet Rev. Steven D. Martin who shared with us why he made this film. It has been sent to all the commissioners at the United Methodist General Conference that is meeting now in Fort Worth. I asked Steven about the possibility of a making a Presbyterian version of this film. He is interested and would like to interview Presbyterians who have had run-ins with the IRD. Perhaps something could be made in time for the General Assembly in June. Well, Presbys, anyone interested? Contact Steven. You can find him here.

 RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: JEWISH SPIRITUAL RENEWAL: MEDITATION: CONSCIOUS CONTACT WITH GOD   Dear Chaverem:   Marco's question (below) about how we meditate and hear God is an important one. It is frankly what Jewish Spiritual Renewal  brings us to. It is part of developing a personal relationship with Ha Shem.   It is a question which I was planning to delve into much later in the class.   But let me touch on some salient points today.   As Jews we are a 'listening' people. The watch words of our faith are in the Shema, "Hear, O' Israel". When we all stood at Mt. Sinai listening to the Ten Utterances (Commandments) , we said ,"We will do, and we will listen." (na'aseh ve-ni'shema - Exodus 24:7)   But we have forgotten how to liste

Caleb and I have much different views of spring. I suppose they are both gut reactions, but his is much simpler... girls drive him crazy. While I do agree with Caleb to a certain extent that it is somewhat maddening when the layers start coming off, I'd rather live with the frustration. I suppose my feelings of spring are a bit strange, but... I there you go.I've never felt more at peace with the world than on those first nights of spring when one can lie in bed, in the not quite absolute darkness, feel the warm breeze from the window and just be. I'm not sure what exactly it is, whether it's the excitement of a new season, the embrace of warmth after the harshness of winter, or perhaps just the feeling of renewal. Maybe it's just that sweet, earthy aroma of melting and dirt, or just

Mad Magazine turns up in the list of available titles VERY rarely...and it's back.The "catch" is well-known, namely, they try to renew you at full rack rate (or near it) automatically after a year. This is nothing new to seasoned FW magazine subscribers. You have to watch your mailbox for a generic, white postcard warning you of the impending renewal. When you get the card, you call the toll-free number to cancel the renewal.

Smart Buyers Collection is a collection of words of wisdom by various Singapore property watchers."In the long run, the major problem that Singapore will face is with talent renewal i.e. getting talented people to be involved professionally at the various levels of government and support industries. If this problem cannot be resolved, it will eat into the growth prospects of the country. This issue will be seen after the next five years and will ripen (given the current state of things) within ten to twelve years."By: AnonymousPosted: 18-03-2008Here is what I feel we can see in the next five years: Singapore, on a whole, is competitive and is still working hard to bring in investments.

As of late, there has been quite a bit of talk on my blog about church today. Where it is in the history of "time". The need for physical fellowship. Apostasy from sound doctrine. So naturally this article immediately grabbed my attention. Read this article and tell me if we do not need to reevaluate everything that is considered "Christian" in today's society. Please pay special attention to what pastors and reverends are saying as well. My comments are in blue. Underlined texts are the sentiments I am responding to.The following article is: By Jacqueline L.

Relationship RenewalIn our counseling practice we are often asked to help people repair broken marriages. Often one partner wants to “win back” the love of their partner, who is adamant that they have fallen out of love. Sometime both parties want to find their way back to love. If you want to set your marriage back on track there are some things you will want to keep in mind. It can be very devastating to learn that your partner does not love you any more. Many people end up running in circles trying to discover the reason and find some way to convince their partner that they are still lovable.We have been programmed to think that there must be a pill or a quick fix for everything. People think, ‘If I can just figure out and do what it is my partner says they want from me then every

`The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.’ Wendell Berry As we start to create in our lives what will happen is change. The wonderful flow of `The Creative Spirit’ as we work unleases often unknown parts of ourselves and a new sense of being will emerge. Change always creates feelings of unease. If what has been released is very strong it can feel overwhelming. Sometimes a painting will take on its own life and make us feel on the edge and uncomfortable. Once the painting is worked through to completion it will feel wonderful and releasing but the process itself can feel somewhat raw. Our society does not welcome this `rawness’. Artists have historically been seen as `kind of crazy’, a little different in the structured Western civilizations, our loss as other societies have welcomed joy and creativity and this creativity h

`Genius is the ability to renew one’s emotions in daily experience.’ Paul Cezanne We have all known times when the days seemed dark and colorless, or when a restless agitation seemed ingrained in our spirit, and nothing seemed to have wonder. In my own life this has happened many times. Several years ago after the death of my mother and a period of ill health i moved to a house with a beautiful garden. My spirit was low, my health was low and inside was a strange restlessness. Something changed as I spent time in the garden. Little by little a sense of wonder started to reenter my life. I began to notice the changes that happened after rain, growth unfolding, the way the plants responded to nurture and care. `The Creative Spirit’, was returning to my life. I became eager to get up each day and care and nurture my plants. The `urge’ came to share my experience. I began to photograph my garden. During this time I had stopped painting. It had been a time of grief

`If you’ve lost focus, just sit down and be still. Take the idea and rock it to and fro. Keep some of it and throw some away, and it will renew itself. You need do no more.’ Clarissa Pinkola Estes Each of us has something that gives us immediate joy. As we become busy with the important things in life we often forget what these somethings were. As we reconnect to our creativity these simple joys in our life are renewed. During the late nineties my `art career’ was established. I had galleries in Australia and overseas. It was an ego filled period in my life, I had created a recognized product that was accepted and in demand, but somehow I had lost the joy of creating. The work dried up, I was lost and floundering. Change was needed, change on all levels. I moved to a house with a garden and for over a year became immersed in the garden. I rediscovered simple joys, frogs croaking after rain, orange blossom in spring, picking an orange from my own tree. I had disappear

`Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding’. Kahlil Gibran I remember an interview of New York Art Critic Robert Hughes. He was talking about the pain he has experienced since his car accident and how it had expanded his consciousness to be aware of dimensions he previously did not understand. Without the shadows the light in our life lacks definition. Noone has a life that is immune from painful moments but as our palette becomes filled with a wider range of experiences and colors we are able to create with that full rainbow of color that makes up light. The connection with the power and strength that makes up `The Spirit’ is heightened each obstacle we overcome. Some of the most beautiful works of art are outpourings  by individuals in the midst of pain on all levels. These  outpourings keeps the way clear and allows light again to flow from this place. I painted one work with a heart full of tears. It was a work that felt like `pulling o

G’day! I’ve been a bit busy settling this past few days in Melbourne. I know, I know, I’ve been here before so I should know how things work. But I actually haven’t really gone out yet, except for that trip to the market and to the Collingwood Children’s Farm (Wooly sheep! Cows with spots!). My accountant brother-in-law has until October 26 to file their family’s GST and both my sister and I are helping him organize 3 years worth of files.

This is one of those emails that you have to love to hate. First of all I keep very good track of all of the domain names in my portfolio. I know where each one of them resides and I also know when each one expires. This is a must for any domain investor. The funny thing is, this domain was nowhere close to expiring. On the other hand there are people out there that may only own a couple of domains or even just one domain. These are the folks that may have been concerned when they first looked at this email. The email even came with a nice clean looking header and footer image to make it look more legit. Sorry guys but I think your time could be better spent somewhere else. Here is the email as it was sent to me, domain replaced with “mydomain.com.” It is time to renew your domain name www.mydomain.com ———————————————————————&mda

Have you ever heard others say that the adult brain has a fixed number of neurons and is unable to generate new ones once these die out?

Among them, and of special interest to us of course, are the

House panel floats plan to adjust law’s accountability measures.The release this week of a preliminary proposal for reauthorizing the No Child Left Behind Act starts a busy fall in Congress, as both the House and the Senate try to revamp the NCLB accountability system and ramp up efforts to improve struggling schools.Lobbyists and advocates spent the last week of the August congressional recess reading through the 435-page draft bill that outlines key House members’ plans to change the accountability system by measuring students’ academic growth and adding other indicators to those in reading and mathematics.Most education groups reacted cautiously to the draft as they considered the impact of changes proposed in the House Education and Labor Committee document, which committee leaders called a “work in progress” in an open letter to “education stakeholders” .“The committee has not endorsed this staff discussion draft,” wrote the panel’s chairman, Rep. George Miller

By Candice PardueDomain name renewal might sound simple, but with so many scams going on, it's definitely a subject worth mentioning. If you fail to renew your domain name properly or within a certain amount of time, you could lose it to someone else and never get it back – no matter how hard you’ve worked on your website. Here are some helpful tips to ensure that your domain name stays right where it needs to be - in your domain name account!Early Domain Name Renewal RecommendedIt is recommended that you renew your domain name as early as possible - before its expiration date. The registrar (or domain name registration company) should send you a reminder of when it is due for renewal. But emails can get lost or stuck in spam folders easily. So it's wise to do your own scheduling for domain name renewal.If you own multiple domain names, keep a list of all your domain names, their individual expiration dates (if each was registered at a different time), and your personal account i

Although a hotel near the airport is probably not the first (or the second or even third) place you’d think about staying in Hawaii, the recently renovated OHANA Honolulu Airport Hotel has been garnering excellent online reviews .

Last week the Congressional Quarterly reported:The top House Republican negotiating a renewal of the landmark 2002 education law said legislation won’t be ready until fall and he won’t support it unless it’s backed by a majority of GOP members.Howard P. “Buck” McKeon of California, the ranking Republican on the House Education and Labor Committee, said the latest draft he viewed July 12 included Democratic proposals that troubled him.By demanding that the bill win a majority of the minority, McKeon is setting a threshold that could prevent the White House and Democratic-led Congress from achieving bipartisan success on President Bush’s top domestic policy priority in his final months in office.Education lobbyists had been optimistic that a House markup would come before the August recess, to speed along the reauthorization and finish before the 2008 election season begins to greatly limit action on Capitol Hill.That now seems unlikely.“I personally don’t think we will i

Greetings from Canada! I have only been here for less than 24 hours and today was passport renewal day so I will share with you everything personal finance related with this experience. First of all, let me just say that renewing my passport is very complicated! I had to fly back to Canada to do this since I could not get it done in an expedited manner through the mail. Long story short, Canada I went! Early morning today, after the long wait and line up, I found out that a few items needed to be corrected before my application can be processed further. Issue 1 – Proof of Travel In order to get an expedited service, I needed written proof of my travel schedule which I did not bring with me. To add to the trouble, it was rush hour and I was about 25 miles away from my house where my itinerary is located. My parents wanted to drive home to get it, but I told them that it’s easier, cheaper and faster to find a store that has internet access and print service. We ended up going to a ne

Las Vegas is the Wedding Capital of the World. It is too a favourite destination for couples who seek to restore their wedding vows. So what do you require to recognize about renewing your wedding vows in Las Vegas? Here’s a few things to assist you away with your Las Vegas vow rehabilitation preparation: - Although some Las Vegas wedding chapels provide particular vow rehabilitation packages, any chapel will make a vow rehabilitation and you can select any packet that any position offers for your vow rehabilitation. - Want to make something humor this moment around? While you may get gone the conventional, graceful road the best moment you exchanged vows, Las Vegas offers many options if you seek to make something a less distinct this moment around. The favorite Elvis observance is, of class, one alternative but Las Vegas has many new good wedding packages you might need to regard as easily. How about a Star Trek observance on the bridge of the USS Enterprise with Klingons as witnes

Two months after mailing my passport renewal application to the State Department, I received my brand spanking new passport in the mail last Saturday. If you’re a terrorist or intent on forging your way into the US, stop reading now! I was surprised to find little had changed with the design.  My photo was apparently scanned, then printed on the page (vs. laminating it down), and plastered with a watermark so you can barely see my baby blue eyes.  Countless border agents worldwide are going to lose out as a result! I get a new passport number with the renewal.  I remember a Brit in Guatemala last year pointed out to me, as I took out my passport to sign into a hostel, not knowing one’s passport number by heart brands a novice backpacker!  What-ever.  You should see the retarded number of username/password combinations I have to recall each day at work - let alone personal bank accounts and web site stuff.  It’s ridiculous. I noticed there were no microchips impl

WASHINGTON--With only months left on a moratorium restricting state governments from taxing Internet access, the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday began a debate over whether the ban should be made permanent or allowed to lapse.At issue is the scheduled expiration on November 1 of a law, initially enacted in 1998, that says local governments generally cannot tax Internet access, including DSL (digital subscriber line), cable modem and BlackBerry-type wireless transmission services. The law also prohibits governments from taxing items sold online in a different manner than those sold at brick-and-mortar stores, but it does not deal with sales taxes on online shopping.That's the way it should remain, some politicians said at a brief hearing here convened by a House of Representatives panel on commercial and administrative law.

I received an email from the contact form on this site from someone named Bob, who sent me a link to this site, along with someone leaving comments in previous posts. If you scroll through the listing of times for season openers on CBS, there’s a little bit at the bottom to grab your attention. It is also rumored Jericho has been renewed for 13 episodes and will run midseason or on Fridays and that the sitcom 1321 Clover has been given staffing orders (does not mean it is picked up, means it is moving to the next level before an official go). As the good l’il blogger that I am, I’ve been googling my brains out trying to find anything to support this rumor on the Northern Kentucky University’s site, run by Jimmie Manning, who teaches Communication Studies there. Can anybody help me out here? I’d love to get some kind of corroboration from somewhere. Meanwhile, don’t forget to send in your peanuts. Jericho, rumors, Second Season, TV, television, CBS

Passport Renewal Yesterday, I had a new passport photo taken at my local FedEx Kinko’s. The cost was $5 per set, where a set equaled two photos. I ordered a total of three sets for starters. Two photos were sent along with my passport renewal application, and I’m keeping the other four for future use. Actually, I was a bit surprised at the cost, and decided I could probably scan and print more for less, using my parent’s computer. The actual passport renewal fee was $67. On top, I felt it appropriate to FedEx the application given it included my old passport. The total cost was about $100. It was money well spent! My last passport renewal was in August 1997, a year before I was to take my first backpacking trip (to Europe). In looking back at that picture, I was quite chubby in the cheeks. I’ve lost about 25 pounds, and a head of hair in that time. Assignment Old Town Alexandria After a cool, rainy Saturday, I hit Old Town Alexandria, Virginia with a

Picture by idivilayil.I wrote this essay a year or more ago after observing, and worshipping with, Charismatics of a few sects in a few places and reading a smattering of literature. This is not based on any sort of broad survey. This is not meant as a criticism of Charismatics in general or any specific Charismatic in particular, but as a discussion of dangers to which I believe Charismatics are prone. My views may be heavily influenced by John MacArthur, Jr.'s The Charismatics: A Doctrinal Perspective, with which I am in only partial agreement. Scripture quotations are from the New American Bible.In her short story “Samaritan,” Connie Willis depicts a future in which the Catholic Church and mainline Protestant sects have banded together to form a single, monolithic, vague, wishy-washy church. In the story, the reason for the sudden cooperation between sworn enemies is self-defense against the Charismatics. This is hardly realistic or believable, but speculation is the right of t

In honor of that whole resolutions thing, I'm telling you about this.The truth is, we've hit a dull, dead end with homeschooling. No one wants out, but I can't say our hearts are really in it either. It's probably just pregnancy/new baby burnout. We're coasting but the momentum is becoming nil.What, I asked myself, can we do to make this fun again?We're going to start with fun things and work back into a real routine. It will have to morph with baby's growth, but that's okay.We're loving the poetry from Institute for Excellence in Writing. The guy's voice is pretty geeky, so we don't use the CDs much, but then we're not that far into it yet. We may use them more once we've got some serious memorizing to do.The good old games of Rummy Roots and the book and drill cards for English from the Roots Up are never a hard sell.We're doing all of the history for Sonlight, with some secular modifications or theologically re-tuned rephrasings. We're also reading all of the litera

Actor Mohnish Bahal has moved the Bombay High Court seeking “no objection” for renewal of his passport after the regional passport authority’s refusal to do so without court’s permission as he is involved in a litigation. The application is expected to come up before Justice J H Bhatia in a couple of days. Mohnish’s father Rajnish Bahal [...]
