We are located within an easy walk to Stonington Village restaurants, shops, library, churches, fishing pier, best scallops available, farmer's market, tennis courts, and Dodson Boat Yard. One queen size and one pair of twin beds on second floor, each with private bath. Small yard with water view of Napatree and Sandy Point. The only requirements for your enjoyment is to unpack your bags and plan your visit.
Joan started out as a Registered Nurse, and Craig as an Electrical Engineer. Somewhere around 1975 they made a leap of faith and went into businesses of their own. Joan owned Reprographics Unlimited in Glastonbury, CT. Craig provided design services and managed a small crew engaged in restoration of period homes. We're both retired now.
Joan Rowley purchased this townhome in 1985
We've kept a small boat in Stonington since about 1958. Many memorable days enjoying the beaches and nights of fishing. Our grandchildren now enjoy these same pleasures here.
It's all about the location and view. Our home is situated on a dead end street with water views to Watch Hill, Sandy Point, and Fishers Island. An afternoon stroll through our historic village brings you to several excellent restaurants and dockside dining. Visit the Stonington Historical Society Lighthouse Museum and see our restored cannons dating from the War of 1812 at Cannon Square. Launch your kayak near the fish dock and tour the harbor. See our fishing fleet while your there. Enjoy the boat traffic and sunsets from Stonington Point.
We wanted to Thank you for your generous hospitality ...... and it made our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely return
The house was perfect for my family and I
We had a relaxing week in 'Next Door' after a hectic week in NYC. Joan and Craig saw to our every need and the house was perfect.....and hospitality second to none!
We stayed at Next Door over Labor Day weekend with friends and it was great! The house is immaculate, the bed and linens comfortable. We took advantage of the backyard, sitting in the setting sun having cocktails. The kitchen has pretty much everything you would need. Joan and Craig were delightful hosts, very helpful with suggestions for dinner out and beaches. We would wholeheartedly recommend this property.
Just back from a wonderful stay at "Next Door" in Stonington, CT. The owners were a pleasure to work with and made the rental process very easy. Upon arrival, we were all so pleased with the obvious care that had been put into the property. We felt very welcome indeed!
The rental is extremely comfortable, "boaty" in many respects (which is a plus and we love that!) and has a great layout with 2 bedrooms and en suite baths upstairs, wireless internet throughout and DirecTv in the living room.......terrific! And "if only" I could keep my house as neat and clean....
Stonington's main street is about a 5 - 7 minute easy walk...check in with Joan and Craig for their recommendations on restaurants. Good advice for sure! The house kitchen is compact but kitted out perfectly so breakfast, lunch and even dinner are an easy task if you want to "eat in".
We had a wonderful but all too short stay......we look forward to returning to Next Door and Stonington soon!!
My wife, two daughters and I stayed at the property for a recent early Spring weekend.
The place was perfectly maintained with a charming feel. There was a lot of space to spread out in during the rainy part of our stay and just chill out without being on top of each other.
The Borough was great to explore - the owners provided excellent recommendations so we quickly felt like locals, hitting great spots for meals and shopping. It seems they have great reputations in town as cool characters, as many of the locals knew of them, spoke highly of them and usually capped it off with a good chuckle.
My older daughter and I enjoyed the late evening moon and the sounds of the ocean from the kitchen window, very late into the night.
We certainly recommend a stay.
My husband and I, along with our two adult children, stayed here for a weekend while attending memorial services for my brother-in-law. We had rented a VRBO home in Utah in Nov 2012, had a good experience and decided to rent rather than book a hotel room. We were not disappointed! The house was lovely, immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and was a short walk to all the shops and attractions in Stonington. Joan and Craig were amazing hosts. We felt so welcome there. There were fresh daffodils from their garden on the dining room table when we arrived and we felt welcome to call them or knock on their door if we had a question or concern. A more gracious couple you could not find. We will definitely plan to stay here when we visit Stonington again. Thank you, Joan and Craig, for making our stay so comfortable.
New England charm in a coastal setting. Historic homes, Mystic Seaport, Mystic Aquarium. Excellent water quality for swimming, boating, and fishing. Stonington Harbor for beautiful sunsets and yachting environment. Walk to Dodson Boat Yard. A short half hour drive to Watch Hill, RI beaches and shopping.

I've been thinking about collecting a little data for a while. A recent chat with BK, of Fritz Coffee in Seoul, has prompted me to get around to posting the question.
This isn't really a survey about earnings specifically, as Sprudge has already been pretty thorough here. If you work in a cafe I'd love it if you could answer 4 very quick questions, and perhaps share with other baristas at other shops around the world.

Hey Lovelies!
Yesterday, I randomly decided that it was time to spring clean my Pinterest. I personally like to have specific board categories, and some of my boards have been getting to the point where they needed to be split into other categories. So I thought I would share some of my favorite and most used categories, and how I decide what categories will work for me.
When I first started using Pinterest I created very vague boards based on my interests, like "fashion". "beauty", and "dream home". The best examples of me creating more specific boards are my "Fashion" and "Beauty" boards. In my Fashion board, I literally had EVERYTHING in it, shoes, accessories, jewelry, bags, swim suits, outfits, and more. Eventually this board got really big, I probably pin more fashion pins than anything else. It got to the point where I was no longer able to find pins later on. So what I did was split this board into more specific categories, which were; fashion inspiration (for outfit ideas), graphics (because I love graphic tees and sweatshirts), shoes, bags, swim, and jewelry. I am even considering splitting it up even more one day by season, but I want to fill the main board up a little more before I do that. I just pin so much in these areas, that it desperately needed to be organized.
As for my old "beauty" board, I had pins about nails, hair, makeup, storage, and tips on acne and teeth whitening. I mean a random mesh of all things beauty. So to organize it a little more I split this board into makeup and beauty, hair ideas, nails, and natural hair. Each board makes it easier for me to pin anything I find interesting and to find those pins later.
It has really helped me to have a better form of organization within my boards, and as I see my boards being filled with multiple categories, I try to split them into smaller categories. I love having boards that are very specific, so I'm not guessing what pins are in which boards, instead it will be easier for me to find exactly what I am looking for, as well as for my followers.
Here are some of my favorite boards, some are newer boards that I just created, while others like "Fashion Inspiration" I've had for a long time. I love pinning things about Harry Potter, Reading Lists to try, and Home Decor ideas! For me one of the best ways to come up with new categories is when I am pinning something and I realize I don't have a board that it necessarily fits into, I will either, put it in a board it will work best in, if I don't plan on pinning anything else like it, or I will create a board, especially if I know this is something I am interested in and I will definitely pin more of. My other method of creating new categories is exactly what I mentioned before, when I scroll through my boards and I realize that there are multiple potential categories within a board, I will then create new boards to make them more defined and easier to search through.
I love pinning, and I try to really make use of the things I pin, therefore organization is important for when I want to reference something later on. I've also found that I gain more followers on certain boards when they are more specific. For example I have a "People I Love" board which is filled with my fave celebs, but I've also created specific boards for some of my favorite celebs, and therefore have gained more followers on each of those boards because people are more likely to follow a board about a specific person they love as opposed to a board with a bunch of people I love.
I try to stay on top of the organization of my Pinterest as often as possible, realistically I usually focus on it every few months. But if I find any pins that are in the wrong boards, I try to fix that as soon as I notice it. To me it makes the act of pinning something that much more fun when I have a board that was created just for that topic!
So those are my tips on keeping my Pinterest boards organized and useful, if you have any helpful tips regarding Pinterest organization comment below and share!

Hakksan Charging $500,000 Bottle Service For Calvin Harris NYE Event
New Year's Eve events have always been synonymous with opulence. NYE EDM shows in particular often come with egregious price tags, most notably seen last year with Miami superclub LIV's expensive Tiesto show. To help bring in the new year, mammoth Vegas club Hakkasan unveiled their "Dynastie Package" for their upcoming event with Calvin Harris. Guests who spend $500,000 will receive the following:
- The guest's name flashing on the main screen during a confetti drop.
- A 30-liter Midas by Armand de Brignac served by a model cocktail waitress.
- An exclusive championship belt.
- A gold disc signed by Calvin Harris.
- Diamond cuff links and a diamond necklace.
Eva Shaw and Burns will open for Harris, and Ruckus will play in the club's Ling Ling Room. While the bottle service comes with an extraordinary price tag, general admission tickets run $175 for females and $325 for males before fees. With Harris being paid $1 million to perform recently, it should come as no surprise that his NYE event would come with a steep tag. It will be interesting to see how competiting clubs respond in an attempt to one-up the competition with even more egregious services.
The Dynastie Package bottle service is also available on December 30 with Hardwell and January 1 with Tiesto.

Is the current financial distress caused by the subprime mortgage crisis a Minsky moment? or is it the result of attempting to securitize illiquid noncommercial mortgage loans?
Does Minsky's theory explain recent market instability? For financial fragility, Minsky argued, specific preconditions must occur. These preconditions have not occurred, therefore recent financial market instability is not a Minsky moment. Instead the recent financial market instability is due to an insolvency problem of large underwriters caused by their attempt to "securitize" (make liquid) noncommercial mortgages (where the latter are normally illiquid assets). The solution for such an insolvency problem is large direct infusions of new capital in these institutions or removing nonperforming loans from their books. An easy money policy per se will not do.

I agreed to build my Mom a garden this year for Mothers Day.
So I utilized both sheet mulching methods and again, incorporated ideas from the "lasagna gardening" concept.
The cool thing about this sort of garden is that while initial input is great, it will be self sustaining and will require only very little maintenance in the years to come.
Not to mention, it is going to be prime for this sort of climate with water issues!
So, if you haven't already noticed, I'm quite obsessed with mulching.I have my reasons,
1. is water
2. is that I'm trying to create a habitat that is conducive towards beneficial microbes and insects which are in fact going to be doing the work of maintaining high quality soil for my plants.
There is a misconception that fertilizers are what cause your plants to grow. In fact, there is a symbiotic relationship present between the insects and microbes and fungus and plants, they are all interconnected and share with one another the benefits of each others toil. So you want to encourage their growth and proliferation!
Mulch gives them a refuge from the harsh rays of the sun, and allows them to work during the day. Biofilm's are matrix like structures built from the living processes of bacteria. These have the ability to transform a soil's PH and increase it's water retaining capabilities. It is all so very fascinating!
Mulch is also food for microorganisms and insects and fungi. The Earth worms often visit the surface of the soil in an attempt to forage for organic matter which is in part a large portion of their diet.
In doing so, they constantly aerate and till the soil for you! But they aren't going to be doing that sort of work unless they have incentive, (i.e. Food and Shelter) so, you provide them with both and walla! Micro-tillers do the sort of work your rototiller will never get done.

World Cup fever hit Deganwy Quays Marina on Sunday as more than 50 berth holders assembled on the decked area to watch the final between Germany and Argentina.
Quay Marinas supplied the food with barbecued burgers, pulled pork and halloumi kebabs all on offer. Berth holder Chris Jones, skipper of Link, very kindly supplied some delicious seafood kebabs and bratwurst was also served to add to the German flavour of the evening. Quay Marinas' Senior Berthing Master, Mark Roberts, said 'The evening was very well attended in beautiful weather and everyone had a good time. It was great to see so many berth holders enjoying each others company'.

The most important piece of equipment for walking is a pair a walking shoes. It pays to take the time to get the right shoes, not just buying what is the cheapest or the most popular. You may be surprised to know that the place to find the best walking shoe recommendations is at the best running shoe store in your area. It's also likely that the best fitness walking shoes for you will be running shoes.

How to Find the Right Shoe For Your Walking Stride

The type of shoe you need breaks down into a few major categories. Lightweight performance trainers are great all-around walking shoes for those who don't need motion control. If you walk very long distance (over five miles at a time), a cushioned shoe might be more comfortable. Stability shoes are for midweight people who do not have severe motion control problems, but who want a stable and durable shoe.

Top Picks - Performance Walking Shoes

Top Picks - Cushioned Shoes

Top Picks - Stability Shoes

Motion Control Shoes for Overpronators

If you overpronate, and especially if you are a heavy person who overpronates, you may need the correction and support these firm and heavy shoes provide. Overpronators can prevent injury by wearing these shoes. Have your gait analyzed at the best running shoe store in your area to determine whether you overpronate and need motion control shoes.

Top Picks - Motion Control Shoes

How Do You Know If You Overpronate?

Walking Shoe Fit

You must locate the best athletic shoe store in your area, the place where the serious runners go to buy their shoes. That is where you will find the fit experts who will take the time to fit you into the right shoes. Don't trust your walking comfort to a salesman who doesn't know pronation from prunes. Get fit right, then you can choose to keep patronizing that store, or order your shoes online. Look for stores that offer foot analysis. That is a good indication that they are serious about getting you into the right shoe and they know their business.

How to Get Fitted for Walking Shoes

Walking Shoes Must be Flat with No Heel Flare

Walking shoes should not have a high heel. The heel should be no more than an inch higher than the sole under the ball of the foot. Walkers strike first with the heel and roll through the step, while some running shoes have a built-up heel for the runners who strike mid-sole. Walkers also do not need flared soles. These give some runners stability but get in the way for heel-striking walkers.

Walking Shoes must Flex in the Forefoot

Walking shoes must be flexible or your foot will fight them as it rolls through each step, leading to shin splints. Twist them - they should twist. Bend them and they should bend at the ball of the foot, not in the middle of the arch. Set them down and poke the toe - it should rock as the toe should be slightly off the ground. If it passes these tests, it may be ok for walking.

Price

An appropriate pair of running shoes will cost from $60-120 US suggested retail. If the usual price is less, you are buying the mass market knock-off shoes without the comfort features. If you pay more, you are paying for style. Shop for sales and close-outs on the good shoes.

Walking Shoes for Going Fast

For racewalking, you will want the most flexible and lightweight shoe possible. Some of the performance trainer shoes work well for racewalking, but others turn to even more specialized shoes or even to custom shoes. Minimalist shoes may be great for racewalking shorter distances. But if you will be racing for over five miles, you may want more cushioning and support.

Racewalking Shoes - Top Picks

Walking Shoes or Running Shoes?

If you look for flexible, flat shoes with a minimum heel drop, they will work for walking whether they are labeled as running shoes or walking shoes. Similarly, there are many shoes labeled as walking shoes that are not flat and flexible.

Are Running Shoes Best for Fitness Walkers?

Around the world, there is not only a great deal of interest in U.S. President-elect Barack Obama, but also in the life of the first lady-in-waiting, Michelle Obama. During the campaign Mrs. Obama came under scrutiny for a variety of issues, ranging from an infamous "UnAmerican" speech to being called a "baby mama." A group of bloggers have taken the initiative to make sure a balanced image of the first lady is maintained in both the media and the blogosphere.
Michelle Obama Watch is an initiative started by Texas resident Gina McCauley, founder of What About Our Daughters, a blog dedicated to supporting positive images of black women and girls. McCauley intended Michelle Obama Watch to be "a repository of all of the criticism, praise, and general [foolishness] thrown at Michelle Obama. On the blog, users can see updated news, information, video and photos of the first lady. There is also discussion about any criticism made about Obama, as well as a section on her daughters, Sasha and Malia.
"Whether you support her husband or not," McCauley says on the blog. "Let's be clear, any and every Black woman that walks in [Michelle's] footsteps can expect the same treatment so we might as well pull a Gandolf, draw a line in the stand and yell 'THOU SHALL NOT PASS!'"

With all due respect to the Catholics, i need to know what this picture stands for. what are the marks? what is the sign of the heart? does the mark signify that the Mother of Jesus was crucified also? Guys what do you say?
With all due respect to the Catholics, i need to know what this picture stands for. what are the marks? what is the sign of the heart? does the mark signify that the Mother of Jesus was crucified also? Guys what do you say?
From this post, I realise that you find it difficult to understand that Paul and all the other writers of the books of the bible were only the mouthpieces of God. All scripture was inspired by Him, old or new testament. The reason why God did not get a pen and a paper to write down the bible where He is in heaven and then throw it down to the earth for men on the earth whom He has given the ability and intellect to do the same is not far-fetched.
The only way I have contradicted myself on this thread is by arguing, when I earlier stated that I would not. Hence as a sign of my dignity and self-respect, I shall no longer engage in any argument on this particular thread. It's not because I don't have anything to say.
And finally, God bless you.
The bible should be its own interpreter by comparing the different bible version s
the pagan Romans Christianized their idols and gods into Christianity by changing and given they Christian names
and calling them saints as well these same roman became leaders and head of the roman churches
and persecuted the true Christians back then during the DARK AGES and these same leaders tried to corrupt the original
scriptures then by emperor CONSTANTINE AND EMPEROR JEROME who brought in the Latin Vulgate bible
and the rest of the books you see in the roman catholic bible.
The catholic church as an entity is the sit of the devil himself just as it is stated in rev 17 vs 9 all other churches
like the Cele churches u mentioned took cue form it been they re the daughters of the great prostitute rev 17 vs 5
it is on record that it is only the Vatican city which is the sit of the pope is sitted on seven hills WHILE Israel is surrounded by hills
and when we translate the Latin word VATICAN CITY TO ENGLISH we will have thus;
vatis can which means DIVINE SERPENT does it ring a bell
on 2 Tim ch3 vs 15 - 17
the new testament re basically letters written to the newly established churches or individuals and 14 of these letters were by Paul
James wrote 1, peter wrote 2, john wrote 3 , Jude also wrote 1 plus the 4 gospel and the book of Revelation.
the letter written by Paul forms the bulk of the NT we ve 2day, throught the inspiration of the the holy spirt.
dont 4get that both the OT and NT made reference to one another to tell that it is been inspired by
one and the same holy spirit.
you re too raw with Ur words just as AKO said pls try to be as wise as the serpent but as gentle
as the dove.
PLEASE KINDLY READ THE BOOK OF JUDGES ch 5 vs24 it read;
most blessed of woman be JAEL the wife of Haber the kenite.most blessed of tent dwelling woman. (niv)
please compare these verse with other bible version for more cclarification
so Elizabeth was quoting these verse from the old testament when she was addressing Mary.
The caption under the picture posted above stated thus;
mary co redemptrix means ; mary is a co redeedmer with jesus christ
madiatrix of all graces means ; mary is the mediator of the grace of GOD
advocate means ; mary stands in on our behalf before GOD
All these re catholic believes and it is blasphemy it contradict the entire 66 books of the bible
for more of these kindly look for these book titled THE GREAT CONTROVERSY by Ellen white.
and also another book titled BABYLON MYSTERY RELIGION
there u ll be surprised to know the genesis of all controversy in religion.
No passage in the bible supports this your claim - and you contradict YOUR sola scriptura.
Let me repeat my earlier post
The bible was compiled and approved about 320 years after Paul wrote this to letter Timothy. Paul never saw the bible as it is today. So, which scripture was Paul referring to??
Obviously here, and in most references to "the Scriptures" that we find in the New Testament, Paul is speaking of the Old Testament. If this passage is going to be used to set the limits on inspired authority, then the entire New Testament will be excluded.
How am I contradicting myself? You said that I should provide evidence that the NT was 'somehow' given to Paul. And I did just that. If you are talking about me saying the OT is as authentic as the NT, they both constitute scripture/the bible. So what makes them equally authentic is the word 'all'.
God bless you.
I'm not sure of what you mean by 'list'. I still refer to 2 Timothy 3:15-17. All scripture was given. If it was given then obviously there had to be a recipient. All that Paul wrote in the new testament was given "by the inspiration of God".
God knew the whole bible. And generally speaking, the OT is not more or less authentic than the NT. I'm sure you know that. God bless.
You are trying to claim that the list of books in the NT were somehow revealed to Paul . That he was somehow referring to this list of books in the letter to Timothy,
And I ask:
- can you show me biblical evidence for this claim (since you believe in sola scriptura)?
- or is this just your personal opinion?
Moses never saw Adam, but he wrote the book of Genesis. It was revealed to him.
The scripture in Timothy says ALL SCRIPTURE. Using a natural example, God is the boss and the various people that wrote books of the bible are secretaries. At the end of the day, it is not the secretary that gets praise for the work. The writers of the bible are only mouthpieces of Someone who knows ALL things and showed it to them whether they were/were going to be there or not.
God bless you.
If, by sola scriptura, you are referring to this passage =>
Then there is one outstanding problem: the bible was compiled and approved about 320 years after Paul wrote this to letter Timothy. So, which scripture was Paul referring to??
Obviously here, and in most references to "the Scriptures" that we find in the New Testament, Paul is speaking of the Old Testament; so if this passage is going to be used to set the limits on inspired authority, then the entire New Testament will be excluded.
There are a lot of things that people in the 'catholic' (sure u understand the quote by now) church have misinterpreted by their own reasoning of things. I don't want to go into any more details because I didn't write in this thread to argue. Arguing here is quite pointless. Especially when the person you are contending with knows all your arguments and have their own counter-arguments ready to fire back. And they are also responsible adults that have the right to their own opinions, correct and incorrect alike. Notwithstanding, no argument can change the TRUTH.

I see that you have been emphasizing this whole issue about the Catholic church being the most organised, quote and unquote, of the 33,001 sects. I would just like to state for the record that God never created denomination. It is all man's idea. Now as for the reason why the 'protestants' and 'anglicans and 'baptists' and what have you refuse to give Mary any special honor, or pray to/through her etc, there is an origin to every 'denominational' school of thought.
I do not see myself as being part of any denomination. I cannot be called a catholic because I do not believe that Mary should be prayed through nor worshipped nor given equal respect as any member of the Godhead. This is simply because I do not see that in any part of my bible, Jesus in teaching us how to pray did not talk about Mary, none of the rest of the New Testament books say anything about her (I think). And then most importantly, I believe in 'sola scriptura', because my bible tells me that ALL scripture was inspired by God. (for the 'catholics' understanding, we could say that the Holy Spirit was the one who gave the people at the Synod of Hippo the exact books to add to the bible, probably because those were the only books that were inspired by Him). Any other thing as far as i'm concerned is not 100% reliable/ as reliable as the bible.
I do not see myself as being a part of any sect. I just run with exactly what the scriptures say. Any other thing, quotable quotes, philosophy etc that you may want to add must have a scriptural foundation. And most importantly, we must all (esp sysuser) come to a reality of the fact that every man is entitled to his/her belief system. We are permitted to strongly disagree (like I do with the sect that men have chosen to call 'catholics') but my dear brother Sysuser, attacking their beliefs with sentiments involved is not going to convince them. It is only embarrassing you (and me) more and more. If god were to treat you the way you treat them every time you did something He did not agree with, you would be dead by now. There is no argument that does not have a valid counter-argument so people are bound to always disagree.
And finally, i am not a 'catholic' neither am I a member of the '33,000' other sects. Infact imhotep, I must commend you for your reserch, quite enlightening, and disturbing. So many 'sects', so many churches, so many preachers and yet very little difference between the people of God and the others.
Try this. When next you pray, say to Jesus ==> Lord, l love you so much; but I think your mother is a useless woman.
@ imhotep
I think you got a seriuos problem, I have great respect for mary, she gave birth to Jesus, She's blessed amogst women. May God have mercy on you for your contempt. I see nothing wrong in given honor to mary, she deserves it, but the fact that she's been addressed as a mediator, termed queen of heaven, mother of the church etc. I have respect for the catholic church but have my differences, the church is sefless dedicated in preaching the gospel and sacrificial services than any church I know. Every church has it's problems.
We as christians are expected to reason with the teachings of Jesus, Read and understand about the gospel of the new testament and then you will know in your heart the truth. Dont be totally blinded by dogma,. Jesus never would allow such address to his mum, he even calls her "WOMAN". Jesus is our only mediator to God, it's clear in the bible. You see the problem is the fact that the church christianity was hijacked and then modified by pagans, to suit there preference, that is why we have all these about mary this and mary that, read about history of rome thier religion, you will have an idea. Rome adopted christianty and being the world power, enforced christianity as the empires religon, they tried as much as they could to uphold the core christian values, but still left some patches.
Let me tell you something, I do attend mass, my girlfriend was catholic, so I took keen interest in knowing what the chuch is all about. The catholic, has contributed alot to the emergence of christianity, ever since it was made the national religion of the Roman empire. The catholic church was the second national church at that time around the 4th century ad, the first was the armenian church which was made a national religion of armenia 20 years before the catholic church. The catholic church was very much responsibel in compiling the bible, and many other practices used today in churches world wide. Although the church accepts Jesus as lord and savior, but the highest authority under heaven is from the vatican, they regard the church as the higest authority under heaven, so what the church decrees is what will stand. The divinity given to mary is just too gigantic she's a servant of God, a vessel, God uses human beings to carry out his mission on earth, so how can mary be addressed as such,. I have many differences with their belief but they preach the gospel and thats what important.
SALVATION OF THE SOUL IS NOT ABOUT A WAY OF LIFE, how sad that you don't understand and comprehend the magnitude of what it means for a soul to perish in hell,
God considers that the salvation of man was so important that He gave His only begotten son, TO COME AND DIE AS A REPLACEMENT SACRIFISE , SO THAT MAN COULD BE BROUGTH BACK TO GOD,
People like you are seen as the cause of discrimination and religious crisis in the world today. People like you believe your culture and religion are the best. Open your eyes, Face the real world, Stop discriminating about other poeple's way of life, Your bible tells you not to judge, Your tongue can lead you to straight hell.
Everything you have read about the catholic and catholism is written by people like you. You have been brain washed about catholic church. you have been poisoned about catholic church. Forget about your so called "Satan Churches" and face the real world around you. What shall it profit you of discriminating other religions on nairaland. What gives you the right to insult our Mother Mary, if she is meaningless to you, please do try and understand that She is an Art of Adoration and Honor to some other people,
Thank twice Sys, think about the world among you,
once again (every catholic and catholic apologist) should get it into their heads that:
The world was created through Jesus Christ, GOD does not have a mother!
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
MARY IS[b] NOT TO BE PRAYED TO
SALVATION IS NOT THROUGH MARY, but only THROUGH JESUS CHRIST
MARY WAS NOT A PERPETUAL VIRGIN, she gave birth others children after giving birth to baby Jesus.
MARY IS NOT THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, RATHER JESUS CHRIST IS.[/b]
1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
smile4kenn, in case pleading Seun against me is not enough for you , maybe you can petition the pope and his military unit (Jesuits) to shut me.
A million hail maries would not save your soul,
its funny to see that the catholic church has classified sin into different categories even though i can't see anything backing that up in the bible, NA WA O,
smile4kenn, instead of swirl around in the pool of vermin called the catholic church, take pains to read through what i have posted, compare it to what you have been fed with , then come back and tell me whether the catholic church is more correct and accurate than the bible itself.
Otherwise keep your peace and listen to God, who has already done everthing needed to bring you out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light, yet you are dragging yourself deeper and deeper into the kingdom of darkness how sad
Acts 4:12
12. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men
by which we must be saved."
Jesus said"WHATSOEVER YOU ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME ,HE WILL DO"
also in MARK 11
22"Have faith in God," Jesus answered.
23"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,'
and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
May Mary forgive u, I pray hard for u and i beg Mary everyday to pray to God and ur sins should be forgiven
SYS, you have commited blunder, Mortal sins, Brutal sins, Venial sins, sins that are hard to forgive, I pray Mary to Beg God for u, If your sins can be forgiven, i will be happy.
My Prayer
Hail Mary, I know you are full of Grace,
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for sys, now till the hour of his Death,
(please also say Amen to my Prayers)
smile4kenn, you can call the pope if you like, its still does not change the fact that , the catholic church is an apostate church which now worships satan using my disguises, e.g worship of mary (Semeramis), even when the bible clearly shows that mary herself was a sinnner who had to be saved by the death and ressurection of Jesus Christ.
Mary is not the interceder, Jesus Christ,
SEUN, Please safe more insults to My Mother Mary.
I had a Bad day after reading all the rubbish here, if you don't know, Dont say.
Seun, Please do help out all Mary Lovers and delete this topic.
She is my Mother, My interceder.
Call Her Mother, Call her Virgin
She is Full of Grace,
She is Blessed mong other women
She is Blessed with her Womb of the Child Jesus
She prays for sinners
She Prays for us till the Hour of Our death
when all is said an done the bottomline is that each and every one of us need to be sure of our salvation, therefore the question is that:
What you must do to be Saved ,
The biblical answers for each and everyone who is yet to know Christ or anyone who seeks to come back as a prodigal son back to Christ, I HOPE THE FOLLOWING BIBLE VERSES SHOULD HELP YOU OUT.
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
SEUN, Please safe more insults to My Mother Mary.
I had a Bad day after reading all the rubbish here, if you dont know, Dont say.
Seun, Please do help out all Mary Lovers and delete this topic.
She is my Mother, My interceder.
Call Her Mother, Call her Virgin
She is Full of Grace,
She is Blessed mong other women
She is Blessed with her Womb of the Child Jesus
She prays for sinners
She Prays for us till the Hour of Our death

Being a good people person is essential. This is true no matter what you want to do or where you want your life to go.
Impressions matter. Whether you're interviewing for a job or trying to close a big business deal, you want to make sure you give off the best impression possible.
The good news is that it doesn't take as much as you might think. There are actually some surprisingly simple things you can do to wow other people.
1. Do What You Say You Will
It's amazing how often people say they will do something, but never actually do it.
This is a common complaint I hear a lot. It's reached a point to where most of us fully expect people won't follow through on what they say.
So it's always a wonderful surprise when someone actually does.
It's such a simple way to stand out from the crowd. It also makes you seem like a reliable and trustworthy person.
It can be something simple like dropping off a book or calling when you say you will.
All too often people say they will do something but never actually follow through. Be that person who actually does.
2. Remember People's Names (And Use Them)
We attach special importance to our own name. It's part of our identity and helps us differentiate ourselves.
When you remember someone's name and use it with them, you make them feel important. By using their name, you're acknowledging that you thought they were special enough to get their name down.
Remembering names can be hard. That's especially true if you are introduced to new people on a regular basis.
But it really means a lot to the other person if you do remember it.
You don't want to fake your way through it or use a generic term like "guy". I knew someone who would do that so he didn't have to remember names. Not surprisingly, he didn't make many friends.
3. Show Genuine Interest
I used to have an employer who would routinely ask his employees about their day. Before they could adequately respond, he would walk away. His interest in his employees was about as shallow as you can get.
He might be an extreme example, but a lot of people are like this.
People get wrapped up in their own lives so much that we forget to ask people about what's going on in theirs.
Showing genuine interest in another person demonstrates that they matter to you. If you go beyond the superficial aspects of their day and dig deeper, you're making them feel important to you.
4. Go Above and Beyond
Too many people will do the bare minimum. If they have an obligation to meet, they do just enough to get by. In some circumstances, they do it inadequately.
Instead of being like most people, you can go above and beyond. If you know the minimum amount of work you need to accomplish, do more.
Just recently, I got an email from someone asking for blogging advice. I could easily have sent back 3-4 sentences and called it good. But by the end of my email, I realized I had written 5 paragraphs of detailed information.
Needless to say, the person was extremely surprised and grateful for my notes.
5. Make someone feel good
There are endless opportunities throughout the day to make another person feel good. Honestly even little comments can often brighten up someone's day.
It can be as simple as telling someone that you like what they're wearing. Or maybe saying that you appreciate what they do.
If you see that they're down, your words can bring them up. It can let them know just how much they mean to you.
6. Be empathetic
Empathy is when you recognize the emotions experienced by another person. It's when you understand what another person is feeling and thinking.
The problem is that too few people have this ability.
A friend might listen to your problem and even understand how it can be a difficult situation, but they might not understand how it's impacting you on the inside.
It's worse when people don't acknowledge what you're going through. They might try to relate your problems with their own.
There's a difference between hearing and listening. Hearing is when you let someone speak, but you only take in information superficially. Listening is when you hear what they say, comprehend their viewpoint and understand their position.
Being a good listener is important for being empathetic.
When you can show that you are actually listening and empathizing with another person, you build a connection with them. You can become someone they go to for help. That can really make you stand out from all those other people who will only hear them.
7. Let them know they're important
If there's a common theme to most of these points, it's this: make the other person feel important.
There are a lot more ways to do that than the ones listed here. These are just the more common ways to do it.
Think of how your actions could make someone feel important. You could remember their birthday and circulate a birthday card for them. Or you could write something nice on their Facebook wall.
The possibilities are endless. If you just keep the idea of making people feel important in mind, you'll notice them.

India is a country famous for its wildlife, of which tiger is an important part. In fact, the country boasts of a large number of tiger reserves, which provide protection to this endangered species. In fact, the country has a total of 39 tiger reserves, which make it an attractive destination for wildlife lovers from around the globe. Many of these reserves are well maintained and provide excellent facilities for tiger watching, with minimum incidents of poaching, due to continuous efforts of the government to raise awareness against the indiscriminate of these rare animals.
Here is the list of top 5 famous tiger reserves in India:
5. Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh
The famous Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve lies in the lap of Vindhya Mountains in Madhya Pradesh and happens to be home to the largest number of tigers in the country. The park also houses leopards, deer, hyena, jackal, fox and Rhesus monkeys. Additionally, it also has some amazing species of exotic birds. The main attractions of the reserve are its lush green surroundings and the famous elephant and jeep safaris. The park, which was established in 1968, remains open from October to June, during which it pulls great crowds every year.
4. Sunderban Tiger Reserve, West Bengal
Sunderban Tiger Reserve is another one among the top 5 famous tiger reserves in India, which has been declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as it is the natural habitat of the Royal Bengal Tiger. This is the largest tiger reserve and mangrove forest in the country, which is located at the delta area of the rivers Ganga, Meghna and Brahmaputra, in the southern part of West Bengal. Boats are used as the means of transport in this tiger reserve, which houses nearly 400 tigers, in addition to 248 species of birds. It opens from September to March every year.

With less than a week left in the regular season, all local basketball teams have some work to do if they expect to make the Division II Tournament.
The USC Aiken Lady Pacers (19-6, 13-2) have the best chance of any of the six men's and women's teams of making the Division II Tournament. An Aiken win at Georgia College & State Saturday would give the team its first Peach Belt North Division title.
A win would solidify the sixth spot in the region rankings. The top six teams in the South Atlantic Region will qualify for the postseason tournament. But there is an automatic bid for the tournament champions of the three conferences (Peach Belt, Central Intercollegiate, South Atlantic) that make up the South Atlantic Region. Also, there are no CIAA teams currently in the top-six, meaning that the Lady Pacers are actually the seventh team in the region.
The best way for USC Aiken to make the Division II Tournament is to win on Saturday and get the North No. 1 seed. Then, if USC Aiken can win two games in the PBC tournament and advance to the championship game, it would have a legitimate shot. If the Lady Pacers win the PBC Tournament, it would take matters out of any committee's hands.
Meanwhile, the Pacers (14-11, 8-7) need a win against the Bobcats to gain the North No. 3 seed and a first-round tournament matchup with either Columbus State or North Florida. Should USC Aiken lose on Saturday, it would face conference champion Armstrong Atlantic State in the first round. That may not be a bad matchup for the Pacers since they held a 10-point lead with 2:58 remaining against the Pirates in Savannah, Ga., before the Pacers lost the game in the waning moments, 66-63.
In the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, Paine (14-11, 8-9) plays host to LeMoyne-Owen tonight at 7:30 p.m. in its regular-season finale. While conference champion Morehouse seems to be the team to beat in the SIAC tourney, the Lions know anything can happen, as it did in 1999 when Paine stormed to its tournament championship win.
After a 2-10 start to the season (including a 1-7 conference record), the Lady Lions (8-15, 5-10) have rebounded to save their season. Last season, Paine defeated Miles in the first round of the SIAC tourney before losing to Fort Valley State.
Because of its lackluster play on the road, Augusta State's (16-9, 10-5) Division II Tournament hopes may have been dashed. The Jaguars, just 3-7 away from home including a 2-5 conference road record, must win at Francis Marion (6-19, 3-12) on Saturday to win its third straight PBC North Division title and grab the North No. 1 seed. But Augusta proved it has no winnable games on the road when it lost at Kennesaw State (10-15, 5-10) and Georgia College & State (10-14, 6-9).
The Jaguars were ranked as high as fourth in the region and are currently sixth. But everything comes down to Saturday's game and the tournament if they want to advance to the Division II tournament. Augusta will have to do the seemingly impossible and win three tournament games at Lander, where it lost 68-60 on Feb. 3.
While the Jaguars have played .500 ball in February, old nemesis Lander has positioned itself for a possible Division II bid. The Senators have won 11 of their last 12 and will win the division with an Augusta loss on Saturday.
The Lady Jaguars (12-13, 5-10) will need several miracles in the next week if they want to extend their season. First, Augusta needs to win at Francis Marion (20-5, 12-3) on Saturday and needs UNC Pembroke to lose at Kennesaw State for the Jaguars to get the North No. 3 seed. Should Augusta lose it will face No. 1 Columbus State (24-0, 15-0) in the first round of the PBC tourney.

The Origins of April Fools Day
Ancient Times
If you go back far enough in history you will find that most cultures celebrated New Year's Eve in the spring time. Since the spring equinox occurred in late March or early April this was when the New Year was observed.
Around 2000 BC, the Babylonian New Year was celebrated at this time though there is some debate however as to whether it was the first showing of the moon after the spring equinox or the first full moon.
Spring is the time of new life, new beginnings and the time when the Earth comes back to life after her slumber over the winter months. It stands to reason that the ancient people of the world would take the spring equinox as the beginning of their year. If I was stuck inside for a few months due to freezing weather I believe that I would be celebrating when the weather started to warm up as well.
The early Catholic Church condemned the celebrations of New Years Eve as paganism. As Christianity became more widespread however the early church began making many of the pagan celebrations theirs.
By the Middle Ages New Year's Eve was celebrated from the 25th March to the 1st April. In 1564 the King of France Charles IX after travelling around his kingdom and finding that different areas celebrated New Year's on different dates created the edict of Roussillon making everyone celebrate New Year's on 1st January.
This tradition spread around the world and is why we now celebrate New Year's Eve on the 1st January each year instead of at spring equinox. Yes I do know that not all cultures celebrate New Year's Day on the 1st January.
So it's said that after the date was changed that some people did not wish to change the date of New Year's Day and that these people were teased for this and jokes were played on them. It is also reported that they were called April fools or April idiots. This was common during the 16th Century.
Humourous Pranks of Ancient times
In France they celebrated Poisson d'avril (April's fish) where a paper fish was attached to someone's back without their knowledge.
In Italy they celebrated Pesce d' aprile (April's fish) basically the same trick was played.
In Belgium the tradition was to try to lock your parents or teachers outside and only let them back in if they promised to bring treats that evening.
In Denmark they celebrated Aprilsnar they would get their fool to go on errands for them running of course.
In Scotland they celebrated Hunt the Gowk day (Gowk is a foolish person) they would send the fool running to someone with a sealed envelope which read "Dinna laugh, dinna smile. Hunt the gowk another mile". That person would then place the note into another envelope sealing it and send the poor unfortunate gowk to someone else.
In Ireland a similar practice was celebrated either using the same words as the Scott's or using the words "send the fool further."
In England the same trick was played and the words were nearly the same "Don't laugh, Don't smile. Send the Fool another mile". The unlucky fool was sent running from one end of town to the other for the entire day. (From cobbler to smithy to tanner etc.)
In Poland they celebrated Prima Aprils (April 1) here the tricks got even more amazing as the media of the time used to help to make the trick more realistic by publishing information in their papers etc. Interestingly the BBC seems to have taken up this mantle and has been publishing April fools news items for many years.
More Modern April fools pranks
I believe these are some of the best pranks that I have read about and are really amusing.
1860 – Many people in London got the following invitation - Admit Bearer and Friend to view annual ceremony of Washing the White Lions on Sunday, April 1, 1860. Heaps of people turned up to the Tower of London. The best part of this is that this prank had been played a few times since 1698 and that no lions had been kept here for centuries.
1878 – The New York Graphic said that Thomas Edison had invented a machine that could change soil into cereal and water into wine. Yep you got it people believed it. I wonder if anyone tried to make one of these machines after finding out that it was a prank. Sadly I may never know but the chances are pretty good that someone would have had to try it.
1915 – A French pilot dropped a bomb shaped object into a German camp. It was in fact a large football with a note tied to it saying "April Fool". What a brilliant prank to play in the middle of World War 1. I wish I knew what the name of the pilot was as this really is one for the history books.
1934 – The New York Times printed an article about a new invention. A "lung-powered motor" which allowed the German pilot Erich Kocher to fly. The photo showed the man with skis on his feet for landing and a tail fin to let him steer. How inventive were they to think up such an interesting prank.
Let's not forget the war of the world's radio broadcast of October 1938. Yes I know it wasn't aired on April 1st however it was an amazing prank don't you think?
1957 – The BBC showed the following footage as a documentary programme. By all accounts many people believed that spaghetti was therefore grown on trees and harvested when ready. I love this footage it is really well done don't you think.
1957 BBC April Fools day
1965 – BBC did it again when they aired an interview with a professor who had just amazingly invented "smellovision". They ever brewed some coffee and cut onions in the studio to allow everyone at home to be a party to this most wondrous invention. The funniest part is that a lot of people wrote and called in to say that they had definitely smelt the whole experiment. People sure do embrace these experiments wholeheartedly don't they?
1976 – A British astronomer told everyone on a BBC radio that the planet Pluto was going to pass behind Jupiter causing a temporary gravitational alignment at 9.47am. He said that if they jumped into the air they would experience a floating feeling. Hundreds of people rang up saying they felt it. One woman said that she and her friends had even floated around the room. I guess she had a very good imagination,
2008 - One more from BBC. It is rather good if you wish to watch it.
Flying pengins from BBC April fools day 2008

Firstly I have not been diligent in blogging for both CS3216 and for my own blog. CS3216 is coming to an end and it is time for a blog post that wraps up everything.
This is probably the only course in NUS that teaches soft skills although you learnt a lot of other stuff.
Of all the lessons, the classes that I enjoyed the most were the Facebook Application Seminar and the plenary session with local entrepreneurs.
For the seminar, I though the presentation style of all the groups were worth learning from. It was an enjoyable class to attend because one can just sit back and let your classmates entertain you with their presentation.
For the plenary session, it was enjoyable because it struck a personal note with me. What I really got out of that session was sales/getting someone to pay you. It is still something I have to remember and improve on.
Review of my goals
This is what I wrote for my personal statement when I applied for the course.
1. I have a strong interest in web technologies as I want to learn how to work with API. I intend to build both use APIs and also create an API for my final year project.
Although I have a strong understanding of Facebook's API, I haven't had the chance to actually implement my own API. I am pretty sure that I will need the skill set 6 months down the road though so there will be a focus on that.
2. I also want to have a better understanding of user acquisition via social media platforms like Facebook.
Hmm…Throughout the course I didn't have time to focus on user acquisition. In part because I was doing the development side and in initial stages of a project, the development needs to be done before sales can start. Before the course, I thought I would have a chance to actually try out A/B testing for user acquisition but once we got into the projects, getting the product right and out the door overshadowed user acquisition.
3. I also want to take this chance to expand my Final Year Project into the existing social media space.
Social media has really gotten onto the radar over the last 6 months. I am not sure why but people + newspapers + companies are becoming interested. I wanted to use Facebook to expand my FYP but given the change of direction, that will have to be delayed.
Looking at this, I think I have reached none of the 3 goals. My FYP was very strongly involved in the first and last goal. However a change of direction had led me away from my wanting to build an API. But nonetheless, if everything went according to what I wanted, then the class would not have been fun.
2 main things I have learnt
From the class: A Team = People (mix of talents) who can work well together
From the project: Product Development = Making a product someone wants in the way that fulfils his goal = ask for feedback and iterate again & again
From the entrepreneurs: Sales and getting someone to pay you is really important for product validation
One Last thing: Thanks to Prof Ben for conducting this class. It was a really enjoyable class. Nothing like a lot of work to make you learn. Also thanks for pointing out my "problem" of not being focused enough on my projects. Now that school is coming to an end, I believe I have found my focus(2359media)(nothing like having investors and co-founders kicking your butt to keep a focus)

Arguments on antidepressants…
I was coming into a few problems with backslashes and quotes not playing consistently nice for snippet input. So I set out to find out why. I ran across a few interesting facts about command line arguments while trying to figure out the best (most reliable) way to escape them for snippet input. The following is an excerpt from tenouk.com…
- For information, Microsoft uses Microsoft C Runtime (CRT) for C codes; that is Microsoft C version (mix of standard C and Microsoft C).
- Microsoft C startup code uses the following rules when interpreting arguments given on the operating system command line:
- Arguments are delimited by white space, which is either a space or a tab.
- A string surrounded by double quotation marks is interpreted as a single argument, regardless of white space contained within. A quoted string can be embedded in an argument. Note that the caret (^) is not recognized as an escape character or delimiter.
- A double quotation mark preceded by a backslash, \", is interpreted as a literal double quotation mark (").
- Backslashes are interpreted literally, unless they immediately precede a double quotation mark.
- If an even number of backslashes is followed by a double quotation mark, then one backslash (\) is placed in the argv array for every pair of backslashes (\\), and the double quotation mark (") is interpreted as a string delimiter.
- If an odd number of backslashes is followed by a double quotation mark, then one backslash (\) is placed in the argv array for every pair of backslashes (\\) and the double quotation mark is interpreted as an escape sequence by the remaining backslash, causing a literal double quotation mark (") to be placed in argv.
This is quite interesting. I knew there must be a better way, however. Fortunately, I was correct. I found the following frustration post on the MSDN forums shortly after. Here's the juicy stuff…
The static System.Environment.CommandLine will provide the original untampered cmdline – should be straight forward to use this.
there is also System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() method but this is used to create the args parameter passed to main and suffers the same problem , I mention it because, when you use it the element 0 of the array contains the path to the excutable which you can use to strip the exe name from the System.Environment.CommandLine
Awesome! What this gives us is a good clean way to get all of our input directly from the command line call to the snippet. The biggest problem is that I (currently) can do nothing to eliminate this problem for you. I will however be trying to come up with a better answer than that. Until then, it's the snippet developer's job to be sure that the input being given to the snippet is clean. Here is a pretty decent GetInput() method that should do the trick. Oh, the code below also allows the snippet to be "piped"-to, so it really is a good idea to consider using it as your input standard. The key is making sure it's implemented. ;)
private static String GetInput(){ System.IO.Stream stream = Console.OpenStandardInput(); System.IO.StreamReader reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(stream); String input = reader.ReadToEnd(); if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(input)) { String application = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0]; input = Environment.CommandLine .Substring( Environment.CommandLine.LastIndexOf(application) + application.Length + 2) .Trim().Trim('\"'); } return input;}

Book Details:Authors: Bill Johnson, Randy Clark
Publisher: Chosen Books (2012)
Binding: Paperback
Page count: 176
Review Date: 7/20/2012 by Shaun Tabatt
Rating: Recommended (4/5 Stars)
This spring I had the pleasure of spending several weekends with my brother-in-law and his family. He's a pastor at the Vineyeard Church in Urbana, IL. Over the course of several weekends, I was introduced to the healing and prayer ministries at their church. I also had the opportunity to watch Darren Wilson's films Finger of God and Furious Love, which focus heavily on prayer, healing ministry and the love of God. Let's just say that my Lutheran upbringing and time attending Baptist churches as an adult really didn't give me a grid or framework for processing some of the things I was being exposed to. With all of these things running around in my head, it seemed rather providential when I received an e-mail from Chosen Books announcing that Healing Unplugged: Conversations and insights from Two Veteran Healing Leaders was available for review. Once it showed up I just couldn't put it down. I read the whole book in less than 24 hours.
Healing Unplugged got its start when Randy Clark was filming a series of interviews with Christians who were experienced in healing ministry. Randy's hope is that these videos could be used in a new Christian Healing Certification Program. The interviews covered questions in five areas:
- What is your story? How were you called into the healing ministry and what major events or experiences have been part of your call?
- How have you grown in the area of healing and miracles, and what have you learned?
- Have you experienced any breakthrough events that caused you to see an increase in healing?
- How have you developed your ability to see and/or hear in the Spirit?
- Would you share with me the four five greatest stories of miraculous healing or deliverances you have experienced?
Randy interviewed Bill Johnson and later Bill would interview Randy. Following these interviews, Randy was so excited about the content of the interviews that he pitched it to Jane Campbell of Chosen Books as an idea for a possible book. Since I now hold the book in my hands, I guess you could say the rest is history.
Healing Unplugged is divided into two parts. The first six chapters are comprised of Randy's interview with Bill. In the latter half of the book Bill interviews Randy. I really appreciate the sense of comradery and respect that these two men have for each other as they tell their respective stories and recount how their paths have crossed numerous times over the years. As somebody who was largely unfamiliar with these two men and their ministries, I felt like I learned a lot about each of them as they shared about the many challenges they've faced in what is often not considered a traditional type of ministry in your average church today. I would recommend this book to anybody looking to learn more about the background and experiences of Bill Johnson and Randy Clark. This would also be an excellent resource for Christians who have a burden to begin working in prayer and healing ministry. After reading this book, I definitely want to read more on this topic, so a few books I've identified for further reading are The Essential Guide to Healing (Chosen Books, 2011) and The Nearly Perfect Crime: How the Church Almost Killed the Ministry of Healing (Chosen Books, 2005).
Author Information:
Randy Clark is the founder of Global Awakening, a teaching, healing, and impartation ministry that crosses denominational lines. An in-demand international speaker, he is part of the Apostolic Network of Global Awakening and travels extensively for conferences, international missions, leadership training, and humanitarian aid. Randy and his wife, DeAnne, live near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Bill Johnson is the senior pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, California. A fifth-generation pastor with a rich heritage in the power of the Spirit, he is the bestselling author of When Heaven Invades Earth. Bill and his wife, Beni, serve a growing number of churches through an apostolic network that has crossed denominational lines, partnering for revival. Bill and Beni live near Redding, California.

The most startling change came on the album charts, where Def Leppard's "Hysteria" finally grabbed the No. 1 title (replacing Van Halen's "OU812," which dropped to No. 2) after being on the charts for 49 weeks; as recently as May, the album wasn't even in the Top 10.
Over on the singles charts, former Chicagoan Richard Marx also scored a first No. 1 with "Hold On to the Nights," which moved all the way from No. 5 to knock off the two-time champ, Cheap Trick's "The Flame" (now No. 5).
Marx's chief competition next week will be Steve Winwood's "Roll With It," which jumped from No. 6 to No. 4 this week. (Equally hot is Winwood's "Roll With It" album, which in its third week on the charts is No. 1 among compact discs and No. 6 on the LP list.)

North Belfast boxer Carl Frampton returns to Belfast today, Wednesday, as part of his press tour for his fight against Scott Quigg next year.
The 28-year-old IBF Super-Bantamweight champion takes on WBA Super-Bantamweight holder Scott Quigg in Manchester on February 27 in Manchester.
The press conference takes place in Belfast today.
The pair have been on a press tour, stopping in London and Manchester, and are at Belfast's Europa Hotel today from 12.30pm.
The unbeaten Frampton, 28, has said: "I will have more fans in the arena because he is not a massive ticket seller.
"A lot of people want to watch this fight and so he may get a bit of a fan base off that, but he is not a huge draw.
"I don't know what it's going to be like for him to be standing on the ramp in Manchester, his home city, and getting booed."
MORE: Carl Frampton warns Scott Quigg of Northern Irish invasion of Manchester fight venue
MORE: Carl Frampton super fan making 22,000 mile round trip to back hero - despite not having a ticket
MORE: Stepson thanks 'amazing' Carl Frampton for visiting ill stepdad two days before his death
He added: "It would have been a shame if it didn't happen. It had to happen for boxing.
"I have always said I would fight him in Manchester. I think I can knock him out and I probably will later on."
Quigg has hit back: "He got put down twice in his last win and blamed the canvas, saying it was too thick.
"He was making excuses. I 100% believe I will win."
Highly sought after tickets for the showdown between Frampton and Quigg go on sale this Friday.

The LH Surge
When couples decide the time is right to begin a family, figuring out the optimal time for intercourse may help speed up nature's timeline for achieving pregnancy. Luckily, science provides us with an alerting event that heralds the onset of ovulation.
The LH Surge: Timing is Everything
The physiological event that precedes the release of a woman's egg is the release of a burst of hormone made in the pituitary. This hormone is called luteinizing hormone and in the fertility field, its release is referred to as the "LH surge".
What is the LH surge?
The LH surge is a signal from the brain to the ovary that an egg is mature. The brain senses the elevated estrogen levels produced by the maturing egg and releases a burst of luteinizing hormone (LH). When the ovary is bombarded with this burst of LH, the sac-like covering (called the follicle) surrounding the egg thins, allowing the egg to escape.
When does the LH surge occur?
For most women with regular cycles, the LH surge occurs between cycle day 12 and cycle day 16. Use of an ovulation predictor kit around the noon hour during this time period should yield a positive result. For women with irregular cycles, the kits don't yield positive results consistently and a consultation with a physician is needed.
Detecting the LH surge
Detecting the LH surge is important because it allows accurate prediction of ovulation, thus improving the timing of fertility attempts.
The LH surge can be detected in the urine with a commercially available urine test kit. Most women will surge by 8 am, and it takes about 4 hours for the surge to be detectable in the urine. Therefore, women should plan to use the ovulation predictor kit between 11am and 3pm for the most accurate results.
Unfortunately, about 10% of women who use ovulation kits will not see a positive LH test result and will need their physician's help to improve fertility timing.
Why is the LH Surge so Important?
On the day the kit returns a positive result, the couple can anticipate ovulation within 12-24 hours. Timing intercourse the day of the LH surge and the day after will ensure sperm exposure during this "window of opportunity" when egg fertilization is most likely.
Scientifically speaking…
The role of the LH surge at the ovarian cellular level is to prompt resumption of meiosis. Meiosis is the cell division process that reduces the chromosome number of a cell by 50%. It is the cell division that occurs only in eggs and sperm. Completion of meiosis allows eggs and sperm to unite and still have the proper number of chromosomes.
In a woman's ovary the process of meiosis is arrested partway through the reduction process. When a mature egg is exposed to the LH surge, the meiotic process reinitiates. Interestingly, the meiotic process of the egg is not completed until after fertilization, just moments before the sperm's nucleus merges with the egg's nucleus.

CELTIC have launched a £2million raid on Ajax for highly-rated winger Derk Boerrigter.
Record Sport understands the 26-year-old will arrive in Glasgow today for a medical before signing a three-year deal at Parkhead.
And that will allow Boerrigter to go straight into Neil Lennon's squad for Wednesday's crunch Champions League showdown with Swedish side Elfsborg at Celtic Park.
The lightning move began on Saturday night when Parkhead chief executive Peter Lawwell travelled to Amsterdam to watch Ajax lift the first silverware of the season in Holland with a 3-2 win over AZ Alkmaar in the Johan Cruyff Shield.
Yesterday an initial fee of around £1.8m was agreed between the two clubs for a player who was on the verge of a full international call-up under Bert van Marwijk just two years ago.
And Boerrigter is expected to fly into Glasgow today with agent Soren Lerby, the former Danish international, to go through a medical and rubber stamp his personal terms ahead of tomorrow's signing deadline for the Elfsborg clash.
Boerrigter is a left winger who can also operate as a central striker and seemed on the brink of a big breakthrough when he was drafted into the Dutch squad in November 2011 for the friendlies against Germany and Switzerland.
But a back injury forced him out of those squads and the same recurring problem has prevented him from reaching his full potential for both club and country.
Now, with Ajax recruiting Bojan Krkic on loan from Barcelona, Boerrigter has been forced to reassess his options. It's understood Barca have inserted a clause in that deal which demands that Krkic must play when fit, leaving Boerrigter frozen out.
But Celtic have offered him an escape and the chance to kick-start his career in the Champions League. It's understood, if the player makes an impact in Glasgow, that his total transfer fee including add-ons will rise to just over the £2m mark.
Lennon is scouring the globe for a hitman with Southampton's Billy Sharp, Evian's Tunisian ace Saber Khelifa and Wolves star Kevin Doyle in the mix.
Norkopping's Gunnar Heidar Thorvaldsson is a possibility although, at 31, does not fall into Celtic's ideal signing category, despite a potentially cheap transfer tee.
At the other end of the pitch, Celtic have been linked with Millwall skipper Shane Lowry, 24.
The left-sided stopper, who was born in Australia, has a year left on his contract and is available for around £500,000.
