Mantra Meditation Group to practice and learn the technique of Mindfulness Meditation. A personal, soft chanting of sacred mantras on meditation beads, employing the ancient yogic tradition of vibrating spiritual sound as an illuminating path to self-discovery. Mantras are sacred sound vibrations composed of transcendental syllables containing great spiritual power, or shakti. The proper vibration of these mantras enables us to concentrate and focus this spiritual energy, allowing us to experience the wonderful benefits. In Sanskrit, the word man indicates the mind, and the word tra indicates that which delivers, or liberates. Thus the effect of chanting a mantra is that one can deliver the mind from contemplation of the mundane in order to reach spiritual satisfaction. Meditation can be quite a tricky practice because the mind is like a naughty child. By its very nature, the mind tends to wander off during the meditation practice. If ones energy is low at the time of meditation, there is every chance of falling asleep. If one's energy is too high, fantasy and distraction become the barriers. At such times, meditation beads provides the much-needed anchor........... ------------ The event is free, Join us for this beautiful, heart-opening experience. You can either come to every Saturday session, or just drop in when you get the chance.

Mayor Annise D. Parker serves as the Executive Officer of the City. As the City's chief administrator and official representative, the Mayor is responsible for the general management of the City and for seeing that all laws and ordinances are enforced. Administrative duties include the appointments, with Council approval, of department heads and persons serving on advisory boards.
As Executive Officer, the Mayor administers oaths and signs all motions, resolutions and ordinances passed by City Council. The Mayor also serves a legislative function, presiding over City Council with voting privileges. The Mayor is responsible for advising Council of the City's financial condition and presents to Council an annual budget for approval.
My number one priority as your mayor is fiscal responsibility. Achieving this during a tight economy requires a willingness to make tough decisions.
When I arrived in the mayor's office, the city was facing a $205 million gap between anticipated spending and available revenues. The economy had pushed down our revenue pool while expenditures were rising due to contractual obligations for health insurance, pensions and employee pay agreed to prior to my arrival. Through a combination of operational consolidations, expenditure reductions, personnel cutbacks, sales of surplus land, cost of service increases and employee furloughs, we have been able to close that gap.
This webpage will provide a detailed look at the tough decisions we've been making, and will continue to make, as we work to institutionalize this new approach to financial management.
Mayor Annise D. Parker
April 26, 2013
I love this city. I still love going to work every day and I love the future we are creating for Houston. In our 3.5 years together we have gone from fighting a severe recession---with necessary cut backs and layoffs ---to having the hottest economy in the nation. Today we're the job producing capital of America--– the place to which more people are moving than anywhere else in the nation.
Just this year we have hosted an NBA All Star Weekend that was second to none, we have started major programs to improve our parks, streets, and libraries, and announced two new international flights to Houston. We will have two international airports, so you can fly directly from Houston to your international business meeting in Turkey, China or Mexico ...

January 2, 2014
Thank you for trusting me to continue in what I believe is the best job in America. To serve you is my greatest honor. I remain excited to go to work each and every day.
I congratulate our City Controller and our City Council Members. I know personally the duties they have assumed today, and I salute their service. Each one of us worked diligently, passionately, (some over a period of years) to achieve these positions. We recognize the sacred trust we have assumed. Whatever our differences in philosophy, in personality, in opinions, we will endeavor to reward your faith in us ...

Mayor Annise Parker today announced, with Urban Harvest, the launch of Urban Grows, the first vegetable allotment garden program utilizing City of Houston property. Urban Grows, part of the City of Houston's Healthy Houston initiative, aims to help communities build vegetable gardens, farms and orchards on vacant land in areas with poor access to healthy fresh foods, often referred to as food deserts.
In addition to services including law enforcement, sanitation, and environmental protection, the City provides an important safety net for senior citizens and other vulnerable populations. Utility payment assistance and free or low cost pet adoption and spay/neuter programs are just a few examples of City programs that wouldn't be possible without voluntary donations from customers, charities, and businesses.
Houston Gives is a guide to those entities that can accept donations on behalf of the city or collect funds, including nonprofit 501(c)(3) arms, entities that can accept non tax-deductible goods or services, and quasi-governmental entities including TIRZ and management districts that contribute financially to infrastructure improvements in a limited geographic area of the City.

Many of us in the Madison area look for gifts that are sensitive to the environment and capture the spirit of giving while keeping things affordable.
And in this week's Hot Trends, we show you the "I'm Tired of" bracelets, when you buy them a portion of your money go to help the charity of your choice.
These bracelets are not only trendy they help the charity of your choice. They're called "I'm Tired of" bracelets. That's what they say, I'm tired of and then you pick what your heart dictates.
Here's how it works...
I'm Tired of " bracelets cost just 10 dollars each and half the sale, 5 dollars is donated to charities that support one of 16 important world causes from hunger, animal abuse, and discrimination to cancer, diabetes, AIDS and autism.
So my bracelet says, I'm tired of Animal Cruelty, so half that goes to Best Friends Animal Society.
In less than a year, the "I'm Tired of" bracelets have already raised thousands of dollars for that charity and others including, Breastcancer.org, Rainforest Action Network and many more.
The bracelets have a cool vibe, especially with the trend today of wearing multiple bracelets together.
In keeping with the theme, these bracelets are eco friendly because they are made from recycled tires and metals.

Famed EDA Industry analyst Gary Smith emalied his thoughts to me for posting here:
Although I agree with the idea of having a sponsor for a start-up I don't
think they should be assigned. Most start-ups should have knowledgeable
leaders that know that from the beginning. They are the ones that know
enough about their product that they can pick out an appropriate sponsor.
As for the Capital-Lite Semiconductor model, it sounds like the VC community
have been away from the Semiconductor market so long they haven't been
keeping up with all of the changes. The should check out

"I don't think of this as a job. I can't imagine my life without it. I hope to be able to do this for many years."
- Ed Lambert, Home Instead Senior Care's 2008 Southeast Regional CAREGiverSM of the Year
Paul and Lori Hogan founded Home Instead, Inc. and began serving seniors in Omaha, Nebraska, as Home Instead Senior Care in 1994. It was Paul Hogan's own family experience caring for his grandmother that made him realize the need for non-medical home care and elder companionship services to help seniors live independently at home.
In June 1995, the company began franchising. By 1998, Home Instead Senior Care had grown to 99 offices and was recognized by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the 100 fastest growing franchise companies in the United States. In 2000, Home Instead Senior Care began international development with the opening of an international partner relationship in Osaka, Japan with Duskin Corporation.
Today, the Home Instead Senior Care franchise network is the world's trusted source of companionship, Alzheimer's and home care for seniors, with more than 900 franchises in the United States, Canada, Japan, Portugal, Australia, Ireland, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Taiwan, Switzerland, Germany, South Korea, Finland, Austria, Northern Italy and Puerto Rico. The network employs nearly 65,000 trained CAREGiversSM who provide millions of hours of elder care services annually.
In 2003, the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation was created to further the philanthropic mission of franchisees. The Foundation's focus and objective is to provide financial assistance to non-profit organizations specializing in projects and programming that improve the quality of life for seniors.

Like the Ducati Monster 696 that arrived earlier in 2008, the bigger capacity Monster range was, after 15 years, in desperate need of an update. And the result is the best air-cooled Monster ever. Only subtle styling tweaks have been applied, but serious thought and attention has been lumped on the engine and chassis components. If it's a pleasurable, no-nonsense, ...

The Buell XB9SX is an oddity. What you get is an old-school v-twin in a high-tech chassis, all wrapped up in a mad-max style urban scrambler. On paper it makes very little sense – a modern naked middleweight out-performs it in every practical way. But it looks great, sounds mean and the handling is sublime. It would be a hard ...

The MV Agusta F41000S blends a monster engine, God-given handling and heart-aching beauty to be possibly one of the most desirable two-wheeled creations of all time. Only its high price, discomfort and lack of convincing reliability prevent it taking full marks.

The Buell XB12S Lightning is weird but it works. An antique, character-rich engine in a stubby street-fighter motorcycle chassis dripping technical innovation. Buell motorcycles is a subsidiary of Harley-Davidson set up by employee/ motorcycle racer/visionary Eric Buell. The Buell XB12S Lightning is a very individual motorcycle and hugely enjoyable to ride.

OK, where does Jesus have an extended debate with anyone who ends up following him? None of my Bibles are a couple thousand pages long and none of the Gospels even come out to a hundred and the one Bible I have with red letters, I could probably fit all those read letters on a single spaced A4 page in 10 pt. type.
I've tens of thousands of pages around this stuff and it didn't matter one iota. There is a difference between following and leading. But I could be wrong, maybe most Orthodox and Roman Catholics do become so by studying dozens of books other than the Bible first. Again for those who can't detect it without a smiley, that was irony.
Our Lord Jesus Christ did not have to have this extended debate or discussion in the Gospels because Jesus is not a historical character of a book or dead, musty events of the past. Jesus Christ is living, operative, real. These discussions are not in the Scriptures because they are ongoing, continuous conversations which the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ directly and continually keep up with us who are living in this temporal realm. Jesus Christ is ALWAYS explaining Himself, is always making His points, is always hearing us out and also clarifying our misconceptions. Life is in His hands, and we Christians who follow Him must always have it explained to us.
I can't speak for you all, but I personally feel Jesus Christ guiding me, speaking to me, consoling me, explaining things to me, whether in the Scriptures are just making sense almost allegorically of my day-to-day life. THIS is the fundamental reality with unfortunately TryingToConvert, though increasing in sincerity in these discussions, has yet to truly understand. We are not debating a character of history or a novel, analyzing the author's/individuals intentions through the foggy lens of passed time, be we are talking about a real, active, ever-present and always living God, in the person of Jesus Christ.
While we can all have a nice discussion here, and I have been enjoying it, none-the-less, the truth of the matter is that the only Person who could every possibly get to TryingToConvert's heart (or ours, or mine or any other person seeking understanding of God) is Jesus Christ directly, personally.

Thank you HabteSelassie.
I should note too, that this approach I've been putting forth is only to help people get over some of the intellectual hurdles they might have on their way to considering Christ. Logic will most certainly
take you all the way. That's hard for some people to swallow, but it's true.
All it takes is the willingness to humble yourself and step into the unknown with as much faith as you can muster that Someone will be there waiting for you.

No no, your posts here where more than appreciated by all. Just because some of us are already convinced, does not me we don't also ask and discuss the same questions and have the same experiences as those who are less than convinced. It is good for us to edify and fellowship in this regard, but what those who are less than convinced need to understand is that those of us who are convinced, though we may be able to wax poetic at times, in truth only the powerful Spirit of the Trinity can possible explain Itself. Of course, we who know, who have ears, do not need to be reminded of this

It is a fair response. You can't expect in an argument for someone to read thousands or even of pages of what you think is important, unless you both are getting paid for it.
I respectfully disagree with you on this point. If one has the time to read and listen and study and come to certain conclusions, as well as the time to post these conclusions on a forum such as this, inviting responses, then surely one would have the time to consider responses to one's arguments.
Exactly. I think that for many it is intellectual laziness that keeps them from the truth.
Further, this a huge topic, and it would be impossible to answer all of the questions and objections that the OP raises in this format (online forum). If he is truely interested in the topic, he needs to be honest, and see what the other side has to offer as far as scholarship and evidence. This whole, "These books are too long and they don't agree with my conclusions" attitude will get Trying nowhere, except further entrenched in his own views for no other reason than the lack of desire to read.
OK, where does Jesus have an extended debate with anyone who ends up following him? None of my Bibles are a couple thousand pages long and none of the Gospels even come out to a hundred and the one Bible I have with red letters, I could probably fit all those read letters on a single spaced A4 page in 10 pt. type.

And I'm not disagreeing with you on this. Your point is well-taken that no one is necessarily convinced of the truth by sheer volume of information. Or by argument itself.
But in this specific instance, the OP states certain conclusions, posts those conclusions on a forum, invites responses and discussion.
When people respond with links and information, it does seem to me to be disingenuous at best (and perhaps a wee bit intellectually dishonest, though that's certainly just my jaundiced opinion) to repudiate all proffered evidence without examination. (hence my comment)

Alternatively, from the Talmud: "Our rabbis taught: During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple the lot ['For the Lord'] did not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson-colored strap become white; nor did the western most light shine; and the doors of the Hekel [Temple] would open by themselves" (Soncino version, Yoma 39b)
Forgive my ignorance but could you explain what this means?

Both actually. Christianity is fascinating, but in order for me to convert to the claims made by the faith I must throw at it all that I know.
I would suggest instead throwing away all you know. The mysteries of existence can be experienced, but nothing in our tiny minds prepares us for any genuine encounter with God. It is so immense as to overwhelm our puny little ideas about logic. Similarly, the only genuine response to the mysteries of the church, it seems to me, is wonder. Bewilderment. Astonishment. We say with the Theotokos, "
How can that be
??" And yet...It is. Be it done unto me according to God's Word..

I wish I could remember where I stole this from.
The opposite of faith isn't doubt; it is certainty. I was out in the hallway a long, LONG time waiting for my brain to convince me of something the
already "knew." I can't tell you how much I'd like to have those 40-odd years back, not that they didn't take me to some interesting and useful places, spiritually speaking. What Christ did was to liberate the experience of God from legalism and logic. He made it personal and experiential. Like breaking bread together and feeling His presence. And by taking part in the life of the church, I can deepen the initial experience until it becomes a basis for life. A crucial first step is to allow one's own ego to be shattered--the conversion experience. As long as God is just something I "know," in the sense of "if p, then q," then I don't really know God.

I suppose you understand me that I did not read all the posts until now. Actually, I've read only your first post.
Now, here's my view:
First off, you've asked a lot of questions, I would have asked you before WHAT IS YOUR ACTUAL QUESTION, WHAT IS THAT YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW, but now the discussion has went far (and I've just registered), so I can't just wait until you reply to that.
So I'm just going to try to answer all your questions...
If I say things that people have said before, sorry.
About the miracles of Jesus:
There exists little in the way of historical documentation for Jesus' life beyond the Biblical Gospel, and it is likely that these accounts were not written by eyewitnesses. This lack of evidence makes it very difficult to discern actual historical facts behind the Christian stories that describe him.
A historical Jesus to be a red herring and argue that, while a person named Jesus may or may not have existed, there is clearly no reason to believe that he had special powers, was the son of God, or performed miracles. Even if it could be firmly established that Jesus, the man, existed, this would not be evidence for the extraordinary claims that make up the foundation of the Christian religion.
What makes it likely that these accounts were not written by eyewitnesses, but by people whom did not know what they were talking about? Is it more than a simple non-provable assumption?
There are some books of the New Testament in which it says who they (the authors) are. In Luke 1.1-4 it is written about eyewitnesses. In Galatians 1 Paul says that he was not eye-witness, but the knowledge he has received he has received from God, Paul also doesn't appear in the Bible just so, but it is written in the book of Acts about him (he also mentioned by Peter in 2 Peter 3.15), also Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are mentioned in the books of the New Testament (And it seems that Matthew and John were two of the apostles Mat 10.2-4). So, you can take what is written as a lie or not. However, if they were false witnesses then perhaps they would have convinced a bunch of people their story and contradicted one another in many places (e.g. one to invent the story that Jesus went in Egypt and other 'apostle' who has never heard that story before to say that He never went in Egypt), but it would have been impossible that in the following more than 300 hundred years for the christianity to spread throughout the entire Roman Empire because of these 'apostles' who have visited different places and taught their stories everywhere - and consider people saying "tell us more, tell us more" to a 'false witness' then hear another 'false witness' saying his own version of story, etc. and so get to the end of the 4th century with all together and see the great majority believing very common things and possessing the same writings. How that?
These 4 gospels and the other books of the new testament are the writings most spread in the ancient times and translated in different languages (e.g. aramaic) in that time, who agree one with another, unlike one piece of fake writing of which we have only one manuscript that did not survive pretty well called "Gospel of Thomas" or other thing and that remained local and was not spread anywhere, not to Greeks, not to people in current Italia, nowhere. Consider that in the 4th century there were already compilations of the books of the New Testament. That is, a New Testament. I'm talking about Codex Siniaiticus, Codex Vaticanus, while Codex Alexandrinus was in 5th century; Peshitta (written in Aramaic/syriac, whatever) became the standard in the syriac-speaking languages in 5th century:
"The Peshitta Old Testament is the earliest piece of Syriac literature of any length, probably originating in the 2nd century AD (although there are also differing views on this among scholars)."
They are complete New Testaments, not just a book or two, not just a piece of a manuscript. There are also manuscripts (of the New Testament) before the 4th century (of course) and pieces of manuscripts, and the Church Fathers quote from them. For instance, a writing of the Early Church Fathers is the Didache which quotes from Matthew, I don't remember if from others as well), and it is"dated by most scholars to the late first/early second century."
So in the 2nd century we have even New Testament commentators?
And compare the New Testament writings with a writing like the Gospel of Thomas, of which it was found, if I remember well, only some pieces of a single manuscript, which, because it is broken, cannot be translated all (missing phrases, etc.) found in Egypt, which says that Jesus was crucified on a tree (and guess how many teach otherwise) and has a story that no other writing supports it.
Besides all this, consider the fact that Christians have been persecuted first when they appeared in Israel (by Jews) and then by the Roman Empire who has massacred, tortured, etc. them until the 4th century (in 313 BCE Constantine I proclaimed religious tolerance of Christians throughout the empire). Now if all that originated from some fables of some false witnesses how could have people not only accept to die and be tortured to keep their faith, but also to spread Christianity that much? And how did the Jews that 'invented' them (the apostles), seeing the persecution of the Jews and then the Romans, continued to teach and believe what they were saying, even to death? If some people would try to fool a group of people with a story, perhaps they would have succeeded. But could have they made so many people to accept death and torture instead of happiness in paganism? And how could the 'false preachers' or "don't know, just heard" preachers (the apostles) better accept death, beatings, etc. and continue to spread their story, if it was all a fable invented by them or nothing certain in their minds? When it was soooo easy to do and say like everybody else!
Jesus believed the world would end within his lifetime, and is based on numerous passages within the Gospels, such as Mark 13 , where Jesus at least seems to express such a view. It makes sense within the context of the general apocalyptic fervor of the time, as well as the beliefs of John the baptist and early Christians such as Paul and the author of the book of Revelation.
I don't see how you read in Mark 13 that Jesus believed that the world would have ended in his lifetime. I read in Mark 13:
"4 "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?"
5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: "Take heed that no one deceives you. 6 For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and will deceive many. 7 But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.
9 "But watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them. 10 And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations."
In verses 5 to 9 it is obvious that could have not happened in Jesus' lifetime! Come on, it says that would come wars and wars and wars, and still that would not be the end. Does it sound that he was speaking "after a few years"? In verse 10 it says that the gospel must be preached to all the nations. Now it should have been obvious that that was impossible in a lifetime! They must have been aware how large the Roman Empire is and about Persia, and the fact that they are also surrounded by unknown territory. Verses 21-23 speak about false Christs. But if all happened in Jesus' time (while Jesus was with them) how could there have been people claiming to be Him and fool the multitude?
There is almost no evidence for the miracles of Jesus outside the hearsay reports of the Gospels. For this reason, there is no basis for accepting that he worked actual miracles.
Well, when the apostles told these events to the gentiles, the gentiles were pretty in the same situation, don't you think? They didn't see Jesus performing miracles, they've only heard people that were saying that they are the eye-witnesses of the events. Now I think that it is the same hard for you to believe what is written as it would have been to them when they've heard the apostles.
On the other hand, faith healings and exorcisms happen today, though investigations show there is no reason to regard them as actual supernatural events. This suggests a possibility that Jesus was a fraudulent or self-deceived wonder worker and there were witnesses who really believed they had seen him work miracles.
Well, show me a faith healing that makes a man blind from birth to see, show me a man walking on the water in the middle of the storm, show me instant healings like those that Jesus did. Grab the Bible, read the Gospels and tell me which exactly can be done. As about exorcism, it's a sensitive issue: we cannot check to see if there are indeed spirits (demons), like to meet one and check it day by day to see what it is and how it is. And by the way, demon does not mean "fallen angel".
Unlike Jesus' other miracles, Paul mentions post-resurrection appearances of Jesus in I Corinthians. Unlike the Gospels, I Corinthians probably was written by its traditionally assigned author. However, the reference provides no better evidence for the resurrection than the evidence for angelical authentication of the Book of the Mormon. It is also not the sort of evidence that many psychical researchers would demand for the existence of ghosts or telepathy.
I don't know what exactly evidence in 1 Corinthians you speak of, but the book of Corinthians' objective is not in any case to prove Jesus' resurection, because it speaks to people who already believe that.
Many Christian apologists have claimed that the high quality of Jesus' moral teachings is undisputed and is evidence of his divinity. However, Jesus' status as a moral teacher has been disputed on many occasions.
It's always the same way: grab 10 men and you have 10 different views. Now I don't believe that Jesus' behaviour and teachings should conform with everyone's imagination and desire how things to be.
In Why I Am Not a Christian, Bertrand Russell argued that while many of Jesus' teachings were good, the Gospels clearly portray him as believing in eternal punishment, and this is unbecoming of a truly humane person.
Wow! That's interesting! And if he thinks that believing in hell is unhumane, does it mean it must be? For everyone? Anyway, many times it happens like this: a man rapes, then tortures a woman and kills her. And people say "oh, poor him! Would he go to hell? It cannot be so!" and no one cares about the woman.
Ancient historian Richard Carrier has argued thatt the Stoic philosopher Musonius Rufus was a better moral teacher than Jesus. Among other things, Carrier cites Rufus' belief in equality for slaves and his belief that "freedom of speech means not suppressing whatever one chances to think."
Another one's opinion. And now, I think... am I suppose to make up my own story and then get frustrated that Jesus did not teach it that way? About freedom of speech, I'm sure that too many people do not agree with swearing and speaking dirty words and insulting people in the parliament in a conference, though that's what one might have chosen to think (and thus, say)! So I'm curios both of what this philosopher was thinking when he said that and what is the freedom of speech he was talking to, about the Bible, so I would compare and draw a conclusion.
In chapter 7 of his book The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins praised Jesus because he "was not content to derive his ethics from the scriptures of his upbringing... Since a principle thesis of this chapter is that we do not, and should not, derive our morals from scripture, Jesus has to be honoured as a model for that very thesis." However, Dawkins criticizes New Testament ethics on the issues of original sin and Jesus' demand that people must abandon their families to follow him.
Excuse me for not caring what others thought and think and write in their theories, etc. It would have been better if you would have told me how YOU think that things are rather than saying what everybody else is thinking. I think there is a little confusion about the original sin so I can't say anything here. As about abandoning families to follow Jesus, no, Jesus does not teach that whoever wants to serve God must abandon his family. The discussion would expand too much, so I won't start explaining everything now.
It should be noted that some secularists hold very positive views of Jesus' ethics. For example, there is a website called Atheists for Jesus whose stated mission is "to provide a method of communication between religious and nonreligious people who believe in the message of love and kindness put forth by Jesus" and which argues that Jesus' actual teachings were at odds with the stance of modern Christian fundamentalists.
Again, I don't care who thinks what. If one has something he wants to talk to me (debate), that's ok, I'll talk, but I don't care what others do and others say and others think (as you've written above)
According to accounts in the Gospels, Jesus was either born in the year 6 CE (during the first census of the Roman provinces of Syria and Iudaea; during the reign of Quirinius) Luke 2:2 or in the period 37-4 BCE (during the reign of Herod the Great) Matthew 2:1 . Traditionally on December 25th, although the Jehovah's Witnesses refuse to celebrate Christmas for the reason that the gospels suggest that sheep were still out in the fields suggesting that it wasn't the start of winter (among other reasons). So, at best there are 9 years (4BCE - 6CE, no year 0) where neither Gospel allows Jesus to be born and the rest of history where at the least one Gospel contradicts the date.
I don't care when people chose to date Jesus' birth. Be it 25 dec, or other date, it doesn't matter.
About the dates and events, that's a bit of unclarity due to the fact that there are actually few informations (resources, details, etc.) available.
It is a possibility that Josephus has written the year errorneusly when he said "When Cyrenius had now disposed of Archelaus's money, and when the taxings were come to a conclusion, which were made in the thirty-seventh year of Caesar's victory over Antony at Actium", there's no way to check that, for instance. And errors like that happened in history.
Also, Josephus wrote:
"Moreover, Cyrenius came himself into Judea, which was now added to the province of Syria, to take an account of their substance, and to dispose of Archelaus's money; but the Jews, although at the beginning they took the report of a taxation heinously, yet did they leave off any further opposition to it, by the persuasion of Joazar, who was the son of Beethus, and high priest; so they, being over-persuaded by Joazar's words, gave an account of their estates, without any dispute about it."
So it is possible that it lasted a few years since Quirinius (Cyrenius) became the governor and the censsus has been executed, because the jews have responded with rebellion. However, there should then be more attempts for this census to take place and it is possible that there were jews that went to it while others refused (starting rebellions, protested, etc.). In this case, in Luke it might have been stated that this was a census to whom not everyone responded, and the censuses have began in Quirinius' times. That would make it possible for Jesus to be born before 6 CE. This is just a probability. It might have been Josephus' mistake, it might be that Quirinus was governor of Syria some time before as well, or something else, etc.
Anyone to counter this?
Did you write all these only to keep people busy? That is, are you seeking to show flaws only to see if people can answer to them? Or, what is your purpose?

I'm not going to spend my entire day reading every one of your links & books to piece together your argument by myself, just to further discussion with a person who so far has shown little interest in actually responding to counterpoint. Note, however, that I have read skeptical evaluations of a couple of the books you've mentioned so far, and I've also listened to some debates on the subject and have read some other things online. I remain so wholly unconvinced of any kind of verifiable argument for the resurrection that even the phrase "I remain unconvinced" might suggest too high a degree of possible convincedness.

If you want to find evidence (proofs) that Jesus really did all those things, and all that is written in the Bible has happened exactly so, you will never find them. If they were, then perhaps by now 99.999% of the population of the globe, if not all, would have been Christians.

Stone Island Shadow Project Fall/Winter 2011 Collection Introduction by designer Errolson Hugh
Errolson Hugh may have outdone himself with the latest iteration of Stone Island as Stone Island Shadow Project stands to be on the forefront of technical outerwear with its supremely constructed highly conceptual garments. After previously featuring the collection we are now given further insight into Shadow Project from the man himself Errolson Hugh. Cast as the lead in the production Errolson introduces the line to us in whole providing his thoughts on the conceptual thinking, design direction, and functionality behind each garment. The introduction provides a true sense of the cohesiveness the collection set out to achieve between wearer, garment and environment.

[JURIST] The Texas Third Court of Appeals [official website] has allowed money-laundering indictments to stand against two alleged co-conspirators of former US House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) [JURIST news archive], rejecting their argument that the state laws used to prosecute them were unconstitutionally vague or overbroad. The Austin-based intermediate appellate court on Friday affirmed [opinion, PDF] a trial court's denial of habeas relief sought by John Colyandro and Jim Ellis, who were originally indicted [JURIST report] in 2004. The defendants are accused of accepting $190,000 in illegal campaign contributions from corporations and transferring the money to the Republican National Committee [party website], which then allegedly donated the same amount to candidates for the Texas Legislature. The court concluded that restrictions on corporate campaign contributions in the Texas Elections Code [PDF, text] need not survive strict scrutiny, and Justice G. Alan Waldrop wrote:
[W]e believe that a person of ordinary intelligence is capable of intending and designating his or her contributions to a political committee to be for lawful purposes unrelated to supporting or opposing a political candidate. Whether misuse of such funds by the political committee or innocent redistribution of such funds for unlawful purposes may have implications for the contributor or raise additional constitutional concerns is not before us in this appeal.

text: Word is we are meeting with Landon Johnson. He is a LB from Cinci. He was their leading tackler last season. They want him back bad. If we get him, he will take Diggs starting job, and then we have Diggs as a good back up. Beason in the middle, Davis on strong side and Johnson on weak side will give us a very good LB group. He is only 26, so youth will be served as well and we dont have to spend a Draft pick on position.

The City Council adopts a budget that is basically the financial plan for the City, which incorporates the
5-year Capital Improvement Plan. It forms the basis for budget appropriations and includes any revisions or adjustments made by the Budget Committee.
Any citizen who is interested in reviewing the budget may contact the Finance Department at City Hall. Copies of the budget are also available for review at the public Library. The actual budget document contains extensive line details and is about an inch thick.
There are four significant steps in a budget process:
- April 2014 – The City Manager presents the Proposed Budget to the Budget Committee. This provides a starting point for discussions.
- April 24, 2014 – Budget Committee meeting scheduled for public review and consideration of the document. The Budget Committee is made up of the seven City Council members and seven non-elected citizens.
- In April and May, the Budget Committee deliberates on the Proposed Budget.
- May 2014 - The Budget Committee approves the Proposed Budget, which may include some amendments, for recommendation to the City Council.
- June 3, 2014 – The Adopted Budget. The City Council reviews and considers the Approved Budget, deliberates and, where they determine appropriate, makes further adjustments which are embodied into the Adopted Budget.
- July 1 – Implementation of the FY 2014-15 budget. The services and projects within the Adopted Budget are implemented.
The City has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for many years for its budget documents. Links to our more recent budget documents are shown below.

A view from old Miami… This is a restored EAL DC-7B with its original Eastern Airlines markings. The aircraft was first delivered to Eastern Airlines in 1958. This plane currently resides at Opalocka airport in Miami, Florida, and has been approved by the FAA to resume passenger service for "historical flights" by The Historical Flight Foundation. This plane is unique in that this aircraft represents the only U.S. based, four engine, passenger prop-liner in operation today.
Please see my other images of this marvelous aircraft:

About This Region
Central Australia is a land of extremes. The searing heat of summer doesn't usually give in until April, which is when the locals head out to one of the many waterholes to cool off. And then there's the winter. Centralians don't hibernate in the cooler months like our southern counterparts do, that's when Alice gets a certain buzz.
The town soon fills up with the travellers from all over the world. There's the grey nomads chugging down the highway pulling their life savings in the form of a caravan at 90 kilometres an hour; the backpackers in their tour buses getting a quick education about the dreamtime between here and Uluru. Then there are the locals in their 4WDs heading out of town to sleep in the best four million plus star resort. Just one look out of any window and you can see how the landscape inspires many local artists, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.
Alice Springs is a hub for people from all walks of life too. Indigenous people from across the region, local pioneering families, the anti-nuclear/uranium activists, the arty scene, the Pine Gap families from the United States of America, the youth workers, the doctors, the nurses, the film-makers, the artists, cattlemen & women, the miners and the people who come for a short term fix but somehow end up staying a lifetime.

Scuba Gear Reviews by Don J DugiRating: Good book 7/31/2008 Couldnt find too many books on the Caymans, but this one is worth having if you go. Was this review helpful? Yes No Rating: Took good pics...for a day 7/31/2008 Im not sure if mine was faulty but it flooded at the end at little the first time and completely the second time I used it. The pictures were good. But I will definately spend the extra money and get a better model. Good news is that scuba.com made the return process very easy. I will definately purchase more equipment from them!!!

Scuba Titanium Knife
Rating: Solid knife. 7/31/2008 This is a well constructed, reliable knife. The sheath is effective and very comfortable on your leg(forgot I had it on). I know use this knife on all fishing/kayaking trips in addition to scuba/snorkeling. On got this instead of the Blue Tang because i needed it quickly(Tang wasnt in stock) and I was happily surprised. I think this knife is just as good and a lot more economical. Easily dismantles for cleaning, a truly great tool. Was this review helpful? Yes No
