Did you have childhood fantasies? It is likely that during childhood you had dreams of what it would be like to someday be marriedperhaps even pretending to go through marriage ceremonies in play with your friends. God placed those thoughts of marriage in your heart.
During your time of engagement, there was probably a gradually increasing anticipation and excitement about the upcoming weddingthe two of you being united to become one. The optimistic hope you held about how wonderful marriage could be was not vain. It was based in the reality of Gods desire for you and your partner.
Do you want your marriage to be super? Of course you do. Everyone hopes their love relationship will be above and beyond the norms for society. Who wouldnt want experiences with their partner in marriage to be satisfying and good?
You wanted and still want your marriage to be like heaven on earth. So does God. The astounding kind of marriage you desire is an experiential reality within your grasp. Supernatural marriage is not a fairytale, but to reach it you must be willing to enter the supernatural realm of God.

"Wanted to share some 'breakthrough' news with you! So this last weekend something happened in our marriage. I felt a shift!! J. was more outspoken about his love for me and his affection than the whole 20 years we've been together. I know he loved me, but didn't always feel it due to his pain walls he had up. But it felt like they finally came tumbling down in front of me and his words affected my soul. I felt adored, treasured, like he delighted in me as his wife, the way Christ delights in his bride. I never felt more beautiful to my husband....
Wow!!!! We are on our way to having a supernatural marriage!"
From J, California, May 7, 2014
"Things have drastically improved and I am so grateful to God for that. We have been a zero on a scale of 1 to 10 for nearly two decades and we are probably about a 3 or 4 consistently now. We may have had a major turning point after 20 years....God is definitely doing something major in our lives and I am ready...We are expecting the Supernatural Marriage!!"
From M, Texas, May 6, 2014
I saw this book being advertised while checking out Patricia King's website, XP Media, and was interested and excited about purchasing the book. This is exactly what I have been looking for! I am a 30-something single, and have been praying for a Godly mate for the last few years. I just have to say thank God for couples like Dan and Linda Wilson, who are truly living out the type of marriage that God created for us to have! In a society where the marriage covenant has become so twisted, and divorce is becoming more of the norm, it is fantastic to see that there are couples out there who are walking in the supernatural power of God in all areas of their lives, including marriage. I have been praying for this type of marriage and now know that it is possible to have this in my life and WILL have it! Praise God for this book! This needs to be in the hands of every believer, married and singles looking for a mate!!
Love is a 'decision', not just a feeling. To read something as open and natural as Dan Wilson's book, Supernatural Marriage, is a rare thing these days. There is no age barrier. There is no cultural barrier. There simply is no barrier to those who long to improve their relationship, or resurrect a tired marriage. Or even maintain a good one. The various ways of dealing with life's sometimes complex and sometimes irksome differences in a couple are dealt with in a completely natural way that will have you marveling at the simplicity of it all. I was left feeling 'How come we didn't think of these steps earlier?' I highly recommend this book for those contemplating marriage, in a relationship, or struggling with intimacy.

Dan & Linda. Please pray for our marriage, I want to "throw in the towel". I see no changes after 46 years. I am weary and wanting to give up. Saw your newsletter, and decided to reach out for some special prayers. I cry too much, something is wrong. life should not be like this, esp. for me who has committed my life to Christ. thanks for listening. (Anonymous)
Dear Sister,
Read Zechariah 4.
Governor Zerubbabel had become discouraged. He had begun work on rebuilding the temple 20 years ago. All he had to show for it was the foundation. The prophet Zechariah came with words form God to encourage him. He told him to not despise small things. The foundation didn't look like much, but was extremely important. God promised Zerubbabel that he would finish the project...but not by his power. It would require the power of the Spirit.
The foundation of your marriage has been laid. You have accomplished this together over many years. You are weary because you have lost the vision of what you are trying to accomplish. Don't despise what looks small. The foundation of your marriage is very important and valuable. You can build on it now to complete what God began in the two of you. This is not possible in your own strength and wisdom. Ask God for both. It is only by His Spirit that progress can resume.
There is huge hope for your marriage because you are faithful to God and God is faithful to you. He is willing to pour his supernatural love into your heart and restore your hope (Romans 5:5). God longs to satisfy the desires of your heart. Seek His Spirit through worship. Receive what He has to give you. It will be enough. Blessings will come. You can always trust God.
Dr. Dan & Linda
A new message received from India today while we are in Akaroa, New Zealand:
Dear Dan & Linda,
Greetings in Jesus name.Hope you are well.you are in my prayers.
last month we have been invited by two churches to counsel the couples.we have used your method of supernatural marriage to 25 couples.Miraculously 21 couples realized their mistakes and obeyed to God and they are not taking divorce now.they want to continue as wedded couples.
I have reviewed with our Hope mission pastors that attended SNMC last year in October.They reported to the office that 250 couples are reunited and said no divorce.I thank you and Linda for coming to India with burden and making great difference in families. What a blessing to work and partner with you .we need more blessings for India from you.
Tonight, we celebrate 10 years of marriage. We ate a delicious dinner and danced in the living room. But, best of all, we celebrated agreement and holy submission to one another and The Lord thanks to "Experiencing Supernatural Marriage." We would not have made it though the last year without that process. God did an Ah-mazing thing, bringing supernatural breakthrough and miraculous healing, both individually and as a couple. A & R
I can't tell you what I have learned as an individual being a part of just two of your sessions. Holy Spirit was all in it unfolding and untying the knot of confusion around proper communication when there is conflict. I always thought when I "kept" the peace as a peace keeper it was good, and I was being the good little guy, but now I know that isn't always healthy. Peace making is a different story. You set out to resolve, not suppress issues. This is my heart. It is kind of like having the proper perspective of God. He isn't wanting us to be obedient for obedience sake, He really does want us to "want" to comply, by renewing our minds to the "why" he says this or that and loves giving us choice, without fear he is going to abandon us. It is a trust factor. He is sooo loving and committed to us. You guys are awesome!
Hi, I have a praise report/question and would love if you could email me back or call me.I had a dream on 5/7/13 that I was in heaven and there was a soldier talking about righteousness that was wearing silver armor. He then asked the group of us he was talking to whoever wants to be a righteousness solider stand.So I did,and he put the same armor on me.The next day God told me to check out Elijah List and I saw your prophetic word about Righteousness that was posted on 5/4/13.This was so interesting to me,because for the past 2months now Gods been asking me about what type of wedding ring do I want,will I save my first kiss for my husband,and now people keep asking me how do I feel about getting married young.What do you guys think about this?
Dr. Dan & Linda Wilson

Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds. The Holy Spirit is releasing this word from Isaiah 3 in this hour. As darkness seems to be covering the earth a holy remnant is rising up, declaring the goodness of the Lord.
In Jesus words we refer to as the Beatitudes, two of the promises speak of righteousness: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. And, Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Righteousness is not a thing of the past. What Jesus taught will always remain relevant to those who seek Him. These are words for today!
Another great promise is found in 2Peter 1:3-4, His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
We are excited to see more and more young couples coming for pre-marital counseling who are serious about keeping themselves pure before the Lord. Through our ministry we know many married couples that happily entered marriage as virgins and are receiving great reward from the Lord for doing so. Yes, there is great grace for those whose path has been different. But the reward is great for those who wait! Recently we met a couple that had been married two years. Interestingly, the woman was widowed and the man was a 50 year old virgin when they married. They are deliriously happy together. Glory to God!
All have sinned. We all need the grace of Jesus for salvation, forgiveness and deliverance. But Gods mercy must not be used as an excuse to enter or remain in sinful behavior. The bride of Christ is being prepared for her lover through the pursuit of holiness and righteousness. The beauty of her purity will bring great glory to the Bridegroom when they are united as one.
In this revival of righteousness, many business men and women are being brought into high levels of integrity. No longer comfortable with gray or brown areas, these deal makers are walking the narrow path of godliness in all transactions. They are being consistent in word, deed and contracts. And God is entrusting them with kingdom finances.
Many righteous believers are being moved to Hollywood, New York and Nashville. We will be seeing more and more of the arts redeemed! School teachers are shining the love of Jesus in the classrooms. Physicians are inviting The Great Physician into the exam rooms. Pilots are being borne along by angel wings. Firefighters are spreading Holy Spirit fire just as expertly as they douse the fires of the enemy. Multitudes of prisoners are being set free as ministries take the Good News inside jails and prisons.
In discussing and defining righteousness Vines Complete Expository Dictionary says this, God is neither indifferent to sin nor regards it lightly. On the contrary, it (righteousness) demonstrates that quality of holiness in Him which must find expression in His condemnation of sin. Dikaiosune is the Greek word translated in the Bible as righteousness. Vines explains this word using the phrase right action and describes how people are brought into right relationship with God through encounters with Jesus, the Righteous One. This is key.
When any person has a divine encounter with Jesus, they are changed. No longer are they held captive by sin and consumed by worldly standards. Righteousness defines them. The glory of God follows them. Holy Spirit protects them. Transformation towards holiness goes beyond a yearning of the heart to becoming their personal and experiential reality.
We decree divine encounters with Jesus!
We decree a fresh outpouring of righteousness in the church!
We decree a revival of righteousness spreading around the earth!
We decree the righteous will shine like the sun (Matthew 13:43)!
We decree the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever (Psalm 37:29)!
Amen and amen!
Taking that Quantum Leap into Job 9:10 and reaching for the hem of His garment! So much fun to see these pictures and hear you at the Global Fire Church. Yes, you could definitely lead one of those HOLY IS FUN conferences at Convergence, my dear friends!! Loving you massively,
In the past year, the Lord has brought a great healing within me, within my husband and within our marriage. I have realized a gift of prophecy and my husband a gift of healing...Great and mighty things have happened. And now, we need definitive directions for tomorrow...Your ministry for a supernatural marriage has been the reactor for all of these things. Thank you for your faithfulness. A.N.

Hi Dan,
Just a note to let you know how much I enjoyed your article on Elijah List today. "Embracing the Wind" is the main lesson the Father has been teaching my wife and I the past year. Abiding in Him and trusting the seemingly illogical paths He leads us on stirs up great strife in our souls, our flesh and often our relationships. But nothing is sweeter than walking with Him even if we're not sure where we are in our journey, or where He is taking us.
I pray that you and Linda are doing well and are blessed by the new lands, portion and inheritance He has willed for You to experience in this new season.
Dear Linda,
You will be pleased to know that the book's Finnish translation has been frequently advertised on the Finnish Christian TV7-channel, and through that I was inspired to look Your ministry up on the internet. I was happy to find out that You offer other items as well, such as the study guide. As we wanted the other books also and prefer reading the original version, we decided to order directly from You. It is excellent though that more and more good Christian books are being translated into Finnish, as many Finns do not have a sufficient knowledge of English that would enable them to read in English. Already now I am assured that Your books are very good, as due to limited resources they translate only the best ones into Finnish! Me and my husband are really looking forward to reading the books and implementing what we learn from them in our lives.
May God continue to use You to spread His message, Be richly blessed!
Warm greetings from snowy Finland,
The book was a blessing. My husband is now reading it and my son and his wife are also reading it. God bless you and your wife Linda for this much needed ministry. L
Precious Linda,
Just finished reading about your dream (Today's Elijah List Word). Very profound.
This is a very special time that we live in. How awesome that we are here
now! We must keep our attention on God. He has so much to share with
us at this time. Such a time as this! This is the season like none other. May
we all have our attention on thee so we can share and help all HIS wonderful
children! I want to be as bright a beacon as humanly possible.Thanks for
sharing. I know that you are right on target.
Have a fabulously blessed day,
Your sister in Christ,
When God speaks to His children, the message often comes suddenly and unexpectedlysurprising us that He would reveal truths from heaven directly to us. Dreams can be like that. Sometimes the most important dreams we receive from God, the most vivid and memorable, are the ones that come and go in a flash! I had a dream just like that last night.
I saw a small bird flying. It was slightly larger than a hummingbird, and it had the same flight and hover pattern that is commonly seen in hummingbirds. The little bird was jet black, encircled with narrow, brilliant white stripes. It was gorgeous! Interestingly, the bird looked more like a fish, resembling some that we have seen while diving in the Caribbean. Was it a bird or a flying fish? Did the black color signify something dark or ominous even though it looked pretty?
While considering this dream and praying into it this morning I am sensing something of significance. We are in a season where spiritual discernment is key. It is imperative that we pay attention to detail, looking far beyond the obvious. The black was the dominant color, however the bright white is what captured my attention.
Many brothers and sisters in the Church today are seeing much black. Problems appear large cancer, financial woes, marriages in crisis, serious drought in the land. Instead of looking at the immensity of the black, we must keep our eyes on the band of white encircling each and every black difficulty. Our heads are not in the sand. We do see the problems. But, more importantly, we look to see our Redeemer hovering over each.
What is He up to? What is He illuminating? How is He covering it? How will He work even this calamity for my good as He promises in Romans 8:28? We must fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). When our eyes are on Jesus in the midst of the darkness, His Light penetrates. Jesus always triumphs over darkness. With our eyes on Him, we too can fearlessly fly like the little bird in my dream, safely wrapped in His brilliant white stripes of love and redemption.
Embrace this day in full confidence, trusting in the glory of God to encircle youprotecting you as you spread you wings and fly.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).
Press Release: Co-Powerful Partnerships in Marriage
This book is one of the best books on marriage I have read to date. It brought me into a whole new season of peace for my walk with God and looking at marriage in greater peace. Dr. Dan Wilson and Linda Wilson co-authored this book with 5 other co-powerful couples and features major endorsements from major Christian leaders like:
Kris Vallotton, James Goll, and Patrica King.
The book is outstanding! This book gives insight to a healthy submission to God and exponential growing peace in a marriage relationship. Well worth the time, very well packaged and an easy read.
Michael Wilkinson July 04, 2012
Someday my Prince will come. There is a longing, a wistfulness often expressed to us these days from people who have experienced hurtful marriages. In fact a surprising number of people have told us they have never seen a great marriage. They want to hope for the best, but are a bit afraid to get their hopes up.
Romans 5:5 is one of our favorite scriptures. "And hope does NOT disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us." This is GOOD news. We were created to enjoy supernatural, fabulous, wonderful relationships. We can expect them because of the goodness of our God!
Recently we received a beautiful email from a woman in London. Here is a part of her note:
"I've always believed there is more than the pain and ugliness that 'all' marriages go through. Don't get me wrong, I fully understand that challenging times will come, but I don't believe it is God's will that we bruise and scare each other during the process."
We whole-heartedly agree.
Regardless of circumstances, hope received from heaven is always triumphant. Hope is much more than an optimistic state of mind, it is an eternal entity that carries in it a deep trust in the goodness of God. He is the supernatural source of our hope and the provider of everything we need for living victorious lives.
Jesus, the Prince of Peace, longs to bring peace, love and joy into your relationships. These gifts are received directly from the Spirit of God. The effect of this fruit is much greater than changing how we try to behave in relationships. Peace, love and joy become something we actually carry within us that can never be taken away. These are the qualities of Christ Himself, permanently implanted in us as His co-heirs. Christ in you IS your hope of glory!
Respected Bishop Yaqoob Paul.
Very warm greeting in JESUS name.
Hope this will find you well.the reason to write you this E-mail is to share the testimony which I have experienced within these two days. I felt Really blessed after attending the spiritual seminar. all preachers are so good.and one thing which I have personal life is that the problems which I was facing in my married life are settled down. I would like to thank you for arranging such a wonderful seminar for us .through which we got marvelous blessing.
with best regards
Pastor Aftab Rehmat
I want to share with you a testimony I recently heard. A close friend of mine was in charge of childcare for the weekend you were here with us. Pastor invited her inside while she was checking on the kids and so it was God's divine plan for her to be there. This sweet lady was recently widowed and felt like she didn't belong in the classes but since Pastor invited her to come in...well she did. Her husband had been sick for a long time and was gradually dying and in his despair and pain and heavy medication said some very hurtful things to her. The pain of it all the the long term illness had taken a toll on her and she felt guilty because of the sense of relief she felt. Something you shared at one of those sessions opened her eyes and she received healing for her soul and her emotions. And she is so grateful for accepting the invitation to go and listen you speak. God is good and healing was happening without you even knowing it. She is one of the happiest ladies now and she can speak about all that has happened to her without shedding a tear. God has given her the victory!
I wanted to tell you a HUGE THANK YOU for the book you sent me in the
mail! The book was so wonderful. I couldn't put it down. I have a friend who is
getting married in three weeks, and while I have already recommended
Supernatural Marriage, I now have another book to recommend to her!
There was a part that especially spoke to me, in your section of the
book. It was in regards to making decisions together as one, and even in
the face of opposition from family and friends.
"In healthy marriages, husband and wife frequently discuss the
needs of the family. They honestly look at their individual, God-given
talents and ask for supernatural wisdom to know how best to use them to
complete the tasks at hand. The opinions of others outside their
marriage should be heard and prayerfully considered, but do not need to
be followed when differing from the opinion of the two who think as one
in the Lord. It is generally true to say that if both partners are at
peace with God and truly at peace with each other, their major life
decisions will be well made."
Wow - it felt like you wrote that just for us! :) In spite of the
opposition from my father about our major move to Arizona, this quote
gave me so much encouragement that yes, we have peace about our decision
and while we want to honor our families, we have to decide with what
gives us peace. Thank you so much for that! It was like a personal word
to me from the Holy Spirit. The timing was absolutely perfect.
The whole book really spoke to me.... I could feel the Holy Spirit
telling me which parts were a word for my husband and me. :)
I saw you guys are headed on another trip soon!!!! I will be praying for
you continually!!! And I'm so excited to hear how wonderful things
went. Be safe and blessed, as always!!!
Constant Contact. Some of you dear friends may have noticed this phrase in the logo at the bottom of our newsletters. This tool enables us to communicate with you in a way that we hope is pleasant. We desire constant contact with you. We love getting emails from you and want to hear what God is doing in you and for you.
Constant Contact. Amazingly, that is what we have access to with our Father. It blows us away each time we think about how He wants to be with us. We have absolute confidence that He wants to be with you all the time as well. We even have the promise from Jesus that He will never leave us. Never! Never, never, never! That is astounding!
We have been asking God for a word for 2012, and this morning at Convergence Church we heard the word, fresh. Just one word. Ha! We love it when God speaks to us! Fresh! Not refresh or refreshment, but simply fresh. This word holds the promise of something new, pure, and clean.
Websters dictionary has some fun things to say about the word fresh: pure, strong, full of vigor or readiness for action; an increased flow. We are excited about this word!
Embrace 2012 with joy and excitement! Look for unexpected, new things! This is life in the fast lane with God nothing humdrum or stale. Dont expect Him to do the same things in the same way. Welcome change.
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, The Lord is upright he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him (Psalm 92: 12-15).
Regardless of what happens around the world, this is a Happy New Year for all who love Jesus!
We will close with a little teaser: the new worship CD is coming! And, so is a new, fresh book called CO- They should both be ready by the end of this month! Watch our website for ordering.
May the fresh anointing flow straight to you from the river of life!
Dan and Linda
Hi Dr.Dan and Linda, we really thank God for you are such an astounding gift to the ministry towards married couples....God is so Good To having used you like that to bless our communities here... those days you stayed with us...
Linda, Thanks for that so loving heart and ever smiling face... we shall pray for both of you all the time to be used of God in many parts of the World.... Surely We love you all.....
Yes you came here for the first time, but we pray it will never be the last time... Please come always ... God will provide all your needs according to his Riches in glory by Christ Jesus....
Hope to see you again next year....
John Richard and Rose....
I recently read (in the book, Supernatural Marriage by Dan Wilson) that a man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with an opinion. When we have a direct encounter and revelation with God, we quickly learn to not care how 'weird' the world thinks...even if it means others think we're some kind of religious nut! Having God reveal His love for us in ways we can't misunderstand or escape is a surefire way to fall in love with Him to the point that nothing else matters :)
Linda and I are on our way to Uganda for 10 days of ministry with Pastor John Richard Mubiru...very excited to see what God is going to do! We are in London for 2 days with plans to meet with one of our primary intercessors here. Supernatural Marriage Ministries has been blessed with intercessors on multiple continents. We value every one of them and what they are doing to bless the worldwide Kingdom. The bride is being prepared for the Bridegroom...the intercessors are right essential for the preparation. Supernatural blessings to all of you!!
More than once recently people have commented on the amazing prayer coverage we have. They say they know we have it because of the way the Spirit is moving and propelling us onward- also from the good reports from the event in Dallas three weeks ago.
I cannot adequately convey to you how much we appreciate and depend on our intercessors. Their prayers lift us up - give us buoyancy. They also help give us direction. We trust what they see and hear in the Spirit. Every email, every call is important to us.
With tears in my eyes and deep gratitude in my heart, I say, "THANK YOU!" We do not understand what all God has in store for us or for Supernatural Marriage Ministries, but I can assure you that our intercessors are right in the middle of it all. You are storing up treasures in heaven. BLESS YOU!
October 6, 7, and 8th is a Supernatural Marriage Conference in Texas. Maybe using the term supernatural to describe marriage sounds funny to you? This conference heavily emphasizes a life of worshiping the Lord together and experiencing a union of our spirits with the Holy Spirit. We believe that our future days together in ministry will require a deeper level of intimacy based on our relationship in the Lord.
There are some conferences that you have to go to, some that you really want to go to, and then there is this one. We feel that we are just supposed to go. The only way I know how to describe this one is that it reminds me of standing on a canyons edge, listening to the faint roar of a raging river thousands of feet below. It isnt overwhelming, but I just know that the intensity is fierce. We both just know.
You are right!! Supernatural Marriages is a Huge Threat ("Praise the Lord") To the kingdom of darkness!! Just think what this could do to the divorce rate and to the broken family syndrome in America, if couples grasp it and run with it!! We just need to keep pressing in and praying and PRAISING God and we need to be Strong and of Good Courage!! Ever mindful that He is willing and also, always knowing that He loves the people of America and wants to see the power in the two as one!! Satan IS shaking in his boots at the thought of American couples standing in a united front against him in the attack against their families!! What POWER, What Strength against him! One can set a thousand Angels to flight! But two can set TEN THOUSAND Angels to flight!! I can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit just thinking about it!! It could bring Revival to our country! Can you imagine if all the Christian couples in America tapped into the reservoir of Power and Strength that they can have in the Supernatural realm and in flowing united in the Power of the Holy Spirit! (We shall do even Greater things than He) The schools would be free of violence, bullies and drugs, because the children of these couples would be diligent Prayer Warriors and leading the others to Christ instead of contributing to the debauchery there! There would be less teenage pregnancies and the abortion rates would go way down because the daughters will know they are loved by their fathers and sons will be raised to know that they should treat the young ladies with respect. It would usher in the Return of the Second coming of Jesus Christ!! Some might say I am a Dreamer! But with God NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE AND ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!! I will be bumping up the prayers! I really think that your Ministry is Bigger than even you both imagined and that the Devil is very scared and very angry! But we just need to remind him of his demise and look forward to what our Supernatural God is going to do!! YAHOO!! Translation: GOD IS ABLE!!
Love and All God's Blessings, DB
The Supernatural Marriage and Matchmaking conference in Phoenix last week was truly astonishing. Kris and Kathy Vallotton spoke with wisdom and grace, Stephanie Herzog exuberently shared her stories and advice to singles on how to allow God to be their supernatural matchmaker in finding a godly spouse. Patricia King blessed us all as she spoke of marital covenant and growing together in marriage towards the fulfillment of supernatural destiny.
There were 500 in attendance, filling to capacity the conference center at the Grace Inn, Phoenix. Supernatural desire was evident in those who were there while Jonathan Williams and Michael/Angela Pinkston led powerful and anointed worship during all seven sessions. The Spirit of God was invited, experienced and welcomed throughout the three day conference.
When Linda and I spoke about Supernatural Marriage, there was a holy hush in the conference room which was filled with passionate eyes. Only God can arrange that kind of holy ambiance. Patricia King formally ordained our ministry during our last evening together. Just as she finished, all the smoke alarms in the conference went off. The crowd erupted into a joyful frenzy! I've never seen anything quite like it. It was an astounding moment difficult to describe with words. Ever since the conference we just want to shout from the depths of our hearts, "Yeah God! Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!"
This is one of many encouraging comments we have received since coming home from the conference in Phoenix:
We attended the very last day of the Patricia King Supernatural Marriage conference this past
weekend here in Phoenix, and you prayed for us as we jumped into the supernatural in our
marriage. Linda might remember me, for she prayed for me and also generously gave me a copy of
your new book while Dan was signing others at the very end of your presentation on Saturday. I felt
she was really seeing me in the Spirit, which has been an unusual experience for me to encounter.
We were both very impressed with your unhurriedness and servant's hearts of love and giving,
especially when there has been such a long line! Thank you and bless you for that.
We have been praying for His leading for us into a supernatural marriage, and feel prompted to
begin with the deliverance that Dan describes in your book.
Thank you and bless you! (from C and B)
My wife and I had the opportunity to accompany our dear friend Dr. Dan and Linda Wilson on a trip to Pucallpa Peru. We had the privilege to meet and minister to many of the Peruvians that attended the three day seminar. Many of the men and women were touched by what was introduced to them during those few days. Men were sharing how they were going to ask their live in girlfriends to marry them. These men were ready to commit themselves to live under God's special plan of marriage, with tears in their eyes they were willing to take that step. The women that my wife met were encouraged not to give up on their non-christian husbands, instead hope was deeply instilled with the words spoken by Dan and Linda. One couple shared they were tired of bickering with one another so my wife reminded them of Linda sharing how the Triangle worked by praying "together" and reaching to God for all their needs, praising him "together" and how they were to start this prayer time that night. The couple both agreed and were very grateful for the encouragement they received during the seminar. Saturday night Holy Spirit poured out his power on me as I was speaking into the lives of men and women. The next day these people were introducing their spouses with great big smiles saying this is my spouse that you prayed about last night. The were going to encourage each other to work on their marriages and for those not married they vowed they would get married asap. My wife and I could see God healing, moving, bringing conviction to men and women to live and enjoy Gods plan for marriage. One man told me that him and his live in girlfriend were scared of committing due to their past, I shared with him that the past can not be changed but to look to the future together as they follow Gods plan. God Blessed our time in ministering to these beautiful Peruvians, they were so happy and encouraged to receive all that was shared with them and to enjoy that safe playground God created for marriage and a relationship with him. My wife and I saw the obstacles that were presented to Dan and Linda due to the Culture in that area, but the two of them were not moved because God lead them each day to reach out to his children and that they did. We are so grateful to see how lives were changed and how the Peruvians received the tools and were told how to use them. Thank you Dan and Linda for allowing us to minister by your side.
Love and Blessings for rest,
Robert and Melba Ramirez
While Linda and I were at the MediaFest in Phoenix in late August we had the opportunity to film a series of short television segments to be used later in a television "channel" for Supernatural Marriage Ministries on XP Media's Web TV. All the arrangements have now been made. We anticipate having the channel up and running the first week of October. The link is http://www.xpmedia.com/channels. This is a wonderful opportunity to share our message of vision and hope with the kingdom of God throughout the world. We've been astounded again! This is going to be fun!!
We look forward with great anticipation to November 16, 2010 when we will be spending an evening teaching about Supernatural Marriage with Joan Hunter at the 4 Corners Healing and Conference Center, 32360 St. Hwy. 249, Pinehurst, TX. Joan has been involved in the ministry of healing most of her adult life. Joan, Linda and I expect miraculous healing and transformation for all married spouses who share this evening together with us. Astounding things are going to happen November 16!
Linda and I are very excited to have the opportunity to do a bilingual Supernatural Marriage Conference October 29-31 in Pulcallpa, Peru. Abundant life and supernatural freedom will be received into Peruvian marriages on Halloween. Wow! We are looking forward to meeting Kevin and Esther Eifert who invited us to bring this message to South America for the first time. Robert and Melba Ramirez have graciously offered to go with us as English/Spanish translators during the conference. What a joy it will be to work with these special friends. Below is a recent letter from Esther:
Hello Linda!
It is great to hear from you! The name of our church is Templo De Alabanza (Praise Temple). It is great that you will be coming with translators, this will allow us to be more relaxed and enjoy hearing you minister to us. What a blessing. We do not get this opportunity here.
Please keep in touch!
In His service,
Esther Eifert

After a scandal that shocked the nation four years ago, and a trial that has lasted for 8 weeks, the verdict is in on Bradley Manning, the private who leaked many top-secret army documents to the Wikileaks website in 2009. While Manning was ruled not guilty for the most serious charge—aiding the enemy—Manning was found guilty for a host of other charges, which might earn him a sentence of 136 years in prison.
Judge Denise Lind, who is also a colonel, delivered the verdict on Tuesday at Fort Meade. This verdict could set the precedent for future verdicts regarding government whistleblowers.
WikiLeaks creator Julian Assange blasted the rulings against Manning, saying that the behavior was typical of "national security extremism." Assange also praised Russia today for granting Edward Snowden sanctuary from American government officials who want to bring Snowden into custody for the government documents that he leaked earlier this year.
This verdict marks Lind's first major espionage conviction during the current administration, but with other cases brewing, this may not be her last.
Pope Francis caused quite a stir on Monday when he made comments that seemed to many people to be advocating homosexuality.
On his way back from Brazil—his first foreign trip as Pope—Francis was asked his opinion of gay priests by reporters on board the plane with him. Speaking mostly in his native Italian, Pope Francis said, "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?"
The pope's words caused quite a stir on the Internet, as many believed him to be condoning homosexual behavior on the part of priests, who are supposed to be celibate from any sexual activity, heterosexual or otherwise.
The Vatican was quick to clarify that Francis was by no means advocating that priests break their vows. What he meant, they said, was that if a priest struggled with homosexual feelings while trying to seek God, Francis would not condemn that priest for his honest struggle.
The previous pope, Benedict XVI, caused a stir in 2005 when he wrote a document condemning homosexuality, calling it "a strong tendency ordered toward an intrinsic moral evil," and an "objective disorder." In the same document, Benedict wrote that men with "deep-seated homosexual tendencies" should not enter the priesthood.
Ironically, Benedict had to abruptly retire in February of this year (stunning the world, as no pope had left the title while still alive in 598 years) due to a swarm of rumors and accusations that Francis had covered up sex scandals, gay orgies and other sexual abuse issues.
The 21st century continues to present struggles and challenges for the Catholic Church. In 2002, the Church was involved in a scandal regarding the covering up of cases involving priests having homosexual underage sex with their young parishoners.
On Thursday in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County Judge Michael Russo sentenced Ariel Castro to life in prison plus 1,000 years after being convicted of kidnapping and raping three women repeatedly for over 11 years.
While Castro pleaded guilty to 937 counts, including kidnapping and murder (the latter charge for forced abortions on the women he raped), he attempted to engender some sympathy in the courtroom for his behavior by claiming to have mental and emotional illnesses. He claimed that an addiction to pornography and masturbation also fueled his behavior.
"I'm not a monster. I'm just sick. I have an addiction, just like an alcoholic has an addiction," Castro told the courtroom. "God as my witness, I never beat these women like they're trying to say that I did. I never tortured them."
Castro was arrested in May of this year after his victims– Michelle Knight, Georgina DeJesus and Amanda Berry, as well as the daughter that Castro fathered with Berry through a rape—partially escaped from the home where they were being held captive, aided by neighbors in the area who heard the commotion and by local police.
Family members of DeJesus and Berry testified on the victims' behalf at the trial, but Knight—who was kidnapped first and suffered the longest—chose to testify on her own behalf.
Knight said that the death penalty "would be so much easier" for Castro; however, Castro's plea bargaining had removed that option from the table.
"You took 11 years of my life away," Knight said to her former captor. "I spent 11 years in hell. Now, your hell is just beginning."
While visiting the Indiana Dunes a couple of weeks ago with his family, 6-year-old Nathan Woessner accidentally fell into a hole while attempting to follow his dad on a hike to the top of Mount Baldy.
Nathan was buried for four hours under 11 feet of sand while rescue workers frantically searched for the child. Astonishingly, the child was still alive, possibly due to an air pocket that had developed underground.
Initially, Nathan had to be put in intensive care, since he experienced pneumonialike symptoms from the sand in his lungs. Doctors kept him sedated for a week and on a respiratior while they repeatedly flushed out his lungs. As of last week, Nathan was recovering from the sedation, being able to sit up and talk to others. He spent much of his time recuperating and watching cartoons.
While the child still has months before he will experience a full recovery, the fact that he survived at all is being hailed as a miracle by the family. Nathan's grandfather, Rev. Don Reul, said at a press conference, "We're very aware that God has been good to us."
Ruel is senior pastor at the First Baptist Church of Galva, IL. The website for the church has posted updates on Nathan's recovery.

Last year, i contacted the Tropicanna supplier and asked if they were aware that all the Tropicannas in my area were virused. I got a reply saying that they were aware and should have thrown the tubers out. They indicated that they were growing clean stock and next year (2010) they would be selling healthy stock. They went on to say ow they invested a lot of money to grow healthy, virus free plants in Isreal.
Well, it's 2010 and I saw last week that Rona had Tropicanna cannas listed in their flyer for $17.99 for a 17 cm pot. I went to one Rona and they were out of cannas. I was just at another and I saw about 10 pots of the sickest looking Troopicannas I have ever seen. I looked at the rest of their cannas and they were virused too. I sure hope that no one on the forum bought this canna from Rona. If you did, take it back. I have restricted my buying of cannas - too many sick ones out their. Last year, I infected a few pots of Tropicanna and have thrown several out. This year, careful screening, see a few infected cannas - and out they go. The majority of my cannas are virus free. I'm also staying on the aphids - who can spread the virus.
I have a few other people growing Tropicannas to keep a clean supply. Too bad the company didn't live up to their word. :( |

Newbie dumb question, what does the virus look like? I mean, if it's that obvious, why would anyone buy a sick plant? Am I missing something?? |

Thanks for the links. Sounds like the virus isn't obvious at first, but soon(?) causes plant to manifest symptoms leading to collapse. If I bought a questionable canna at HD, could I grow it in a pot for just this season? Would I know by summer's end if it was infected? Would it have any effect on my new cannas? I just ordered another canna from Karchesky Canna. Thanks!! |
Well, if there is a possiblity of it being infected...can it. Bugs will spread the virus. Dont share tools. Take it back to HD. Post a pic. |

If you saw these Tropicanna - they look horrible. The problem is that some people do not know what a canna is suppose to look like. These are definitely showing signs of a virus. I know a company that contracted a grower for some healthy cannas, Australia. I recently saw them and they are showing sickly streaks in their leaves. Such a shame. The big box stores sell what they receive and do not question it. I did see some good cannas at HD - they were a dwarf variety. |

The Edge ExPlay Panel: gunfeel
It seems to me that gunfeel is an important science for videogames. This is not because guns are fundamental in any way to our medium – although I think you'll agree they are quite popular – but because guns in videogames represent a quantum of interaction. A single click. In fact, this piece might have been entitled 'clickfeel' but, I think, it's with guns that the aesthetic of this interaction is thought about most frequently and most keenly.

DescriptionYeast is a single-celled fungus (a living organism) that exists in many forms. It converts sugar and starch into carbon dioxide bubbles and alcohol, which makes it useful in the production of bread, beer, and wine. In the context of baking, it produces carbon dioxide when mixed with warm water, flour, salt and/or sugar, which causes the dough to expand resulting in a soft and spongy product. There are many varieties of yeast: • Active Dry/Rapid Rise/Bread Machine - These are often referred to as 'baker's yeast'. Active Dry is the most commonly used variety and is recommended for hand-kneaded dough. It is available in 1/4-ounce, 3-strip packets and 4-ounce jars.Rapid Rise and Bread Machine yeasts are fine-grained. They cause a single-rise reaction, which makes them more efficient in machined dough. Rapid Rise is sold in 3-strip packets and Bread Machine yeast is sold in 4-ounce jars.• Cake Yeast/Fresh Active –These are foil-wrapped, compressed square cakes. They are commonly available in two sizes: 2 ounce and .06 ounce. They cannot be used in bread machines, but are typically used by commercial bakers.• Wild Yeast - This is the 'starter' that many cooks keep alive in a crock. Each week, 75% of the starter is replaced with water and flour to keep it growing. The live yeast that is removed is used for baking, or discarded. Most artisan breads are made from wild yeast. However, starter or sponges are not as reliable as packaged or cake yeasts.Yeast for bread-making can be fresh, dried or 'easy-blend', but in all cases remember that it is a living organism that needs moisture, warmth and food (such as sugar or flour) to grow. Yeast should be dissolved in warm water (100-110 degrees F) only and never hot water because extreme heat kills the yeast – that is why the dough stops rising when it's baked in a hot oven. Sugar is usually added to 'feed' and grow the yeast. Once you provide the required warmth and food, you should see activity within 5 minutes. There will be bubbling and expansion during yeast activation. If you see no activity, your yeast may be too old, or the water might have been hot or cold. As yeast grows, it produces carbon dioxide, which makes the dough expand and rise. In general, slowly risen dough results in bread with superior flavour and texture.You should never eat raw active yeast, since it will continue to grow in your intestine and rob your body of valuable nutrients. But once deactivated through pasteurization, yeast is a good source of nutrients. How to Select• Dry yeast is readily available in markets. • It comes in envelopes, jars or bulk.• It may be regular or quick rising. • Quick rising will take only half the time for rising.• Please note that when buying yeast, the date of expiry should be strictly followed. • Fresh yeast is very perishable and it recommended only for experts – it will last only for one week.Culinary Uses • Bread is made with baker's yeast, which creates lots of bubbles that become trapped in the dough, causing the bread to rise and become light and airy when baked. • A small amount of alcohol is also produced, but this burns off as the bread bakes.• Beer yeast and wine yeast are used to convert sugar into alcohol and, in the case of beer and champagne, bubbles too.How to Store• Always store in a cool, dry place, preferably the refrigerator (a must for fresh yeast), but bring to room temperature before using. • Fresh yeast is extremely perishable and should be used within 1-2 weeks or date on package.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Peepers!
Facts about Peepers
- Breed: American Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Peepers's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Peepers is a fun young kitty. He loves to play!
Other Pets at Tri-County Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Peepers, a Shippenville American Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in Shippenville, or seeking a American Shorthair cat from a breeder in Shippenville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Shippenville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Shippenville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Shippenville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Take an inside look at what it takes to keep a WAFFLE HOUSE restaurant open 24-7:
Vecus Miller is from the Bronx, born and raised in New York City. But now he's one of Waffle House's top guys in Atlanta, helping keep two dozen restaurants humming 24/7. If you hit a Waffle House at 2 a.m., you might see him pitching in, washing dishes or taking orders.
As a regional vice president for the Norcross-based chain, Miller, 39, oversees 26 stores from downtown Atlanta to Stone Mountain. Miller, who attended Morehouse College, started at Waffle House almost nine years ago as a manager trainee. He learned how to wait tables and cook food. Now, the Snellville resident does a good portion of his work on the third shift, from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. True to urban legend, the locks on the door of most Waffle House restaurants are rarely used.

We have a home for sale in a pretty desirable area at a good price. Regardless our home is not being shown by any of the major brokerages. It is on the public MLS and we have it listed with a small brokerage. We have the very typical commission being offered to buyer's agents for our area. The filtering is blatant-- with inventory so low, why are they avoiding our house? What can we do to get more potentials in to see the home? |
Follow-Up Postings:
...I would like to add that we have all the conveniences for agents that others have-- lockbox, showing service, flexible showing times, etc. We have good photos. |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Wed, Mar 20, 13 at 17:35
What do your pictures look like? What do the comps say about price. The usual reason that no showings take place are rotten pics and overpriced. Do you have a link to your listing? |
Why do people feel that they are being blacklisted because they aren't getting showings? If an agent has a buyer that your house will fit, they will show it. Agents want to makes sales, sales dont happen if they dont show houses!!You don't say if you are getting showings from some of the smaller agencies. If you are not getting showings and the inventory is low, then most likely your price is too high. |
If this is true, can't say if it is. I guess other agents hate your agent, I don't think it has anything to do with the size of your agency, just personal dislike working with an agent. That said, I find it hard to believe all the other agent's don't like your agent. I do believe some agents are known to be very difficult to deal with, an agent will avoid them if they can, but if your house is the one, they will show it and work it. The bigger question is, how do you know they are avoiding your agency? and not your house? Have you seen your competition go to pending? what does your agent say? |
Don't forget, if your house is showing up in places like realtor,com, trulia, etc, it's out of the hands of agents. Buyers have a lot of information at their fingertips these days and rely less on an agent than ever before, especially if your region is low inventory. I agree with looking at some of the other issues people have mentioned. |

Give us proof that high volume sales offices are blacklisting the home? |
- Posted by kellienoelle (My Page) on Fri, Mar 22, 13 at 14:12
As a recent home hunter, I pretty much told my REA which houses I wanted to look at rather than the reverse. No concerns about who the home was listed through, if it was on MLS, I was looking online. If I liked what I saw, I asked to see it in person. Can you post your listing? Or maybe just your Real Estate photos? This may be as simple as getting photos which highlight your home better. A few people (including myself) have posted for feedback and I have found the advise is always very costructive. |
- Posted by julieboulangerie (My Page) on Fri, Mar 22, 13 at 21:47
Agreed, during my last home search, my agent had the gateway set up where I received emails every day on new or changed listings. I glanced through them, eliminated most of them that didn't fit my criteria right away, and researched others on the MLS and other sites before asking to see them, again, more were eliminated. Your House Might be Eliminated if: |

Every single house/property I have bought I found and then just asked my realtor to arrange for a showing. |
There are going to be some REA's on here that don't like hearing this but here goes.... Realtor's and Brokers don't sell homes. They facilitate all the paperwork, process and people involved in a home sale. But in an internet-driven, mostly buyers market, the internet and the buyers use of same is driving more showings than is a Realtor or broker. If you aren't getting showings, its because of one or more of the following: -Your home is priced too high relative to competing homes/comparables in your market. Price drops, even minor ones, push you back to the top of the search engines as "changed" and signal potential buyers that you are motivated to sell. If you are NOT motivated to sell, then keep your price where you are and wait for a buyer with deeper pockets to come along. -Your home doesn't look good on the MLS and portal sites. Colors may be off, perhaps its empty and/or needs some staging, not enough pictures, too many pictures, low curb appeal...tons of reasons. See above...if you add/change pictures, it usually triggers a refresh in the MLS database and the sites will filter you back to the top as a changed listing, giving you temporary visibility again. -Ditto for MLS listing descriptions. While I personally don't read them first (I am looking at pictures and features like 3-car garage, bedrooms, baths, etc.) I have seen some that are outright deal killers. I saw one here just the other day that literally led off with this sentence. "Back on the market due to failure to perform by prospective buyers and no fault of the seller." C'mon, that just sounds like a childish agent/owners having some beef that the former buyers couldn't obtain financing and/or the appraisal came it below contract price. Stuff happens, be professional and if you put it in writing, it better be positive and genuine. Likewise, the text description shouldn't sound like the freaking Sham-Wow commercial guy or that's an equally bad turnoff. Accentuate the positives without screaming out every superlative you can squeeze into the 1000 character limit. You know the drill. -Your home may be absolutely great, but your lot/location is less desirable than your competition. I can't tell you the number of times I've decided AGAINST a showing on a home because I simply hit the "view on Google maps" button and noticed that the home backed up to a busy street, had little privacy between me and my neighbors, etc. It used to be that you really had to go visit a house to get a feel for its surroundings and this is simply not true any more. Doesn't matter to me how nice the home looks in pictures, if I can see my neighbors from my back deck, I'm not even going to consider it. Keep also in mind that with both Google street views and birds-eye satellite views of your home, it may be showing something less desirable than your perfectly-staged MLS pictures. For example, I once found a great home with a nice piece of property but noted that my neighbors on both sides of me had really poorly maintained yards. Big open areas of erosion, holes/ruts from something, etc. I passed on the property entirely. This was just visible from the Google maps views, not from the MLS pictures. I guarantee you that I'm not the only genius using this technique. I'd say that the reputation/demeanor of your broker/REA is the least of your concerns as they are the least of your influences to get a showing. The buyers most likely won't even interact with your REA until they submit an offer, and by that time, who cares what they think about the broker/agent? You are in offer stage if that happens. Today's home sellers need to recognize that the rules have changed. Buyers are more informed, and more empowered, to pick and choose what homes they want to see and less reliant on a broker/REA to make that decision for them. Doesn't mean REA's are worthless...quite the contrary. But it means they have far less influence on obtaining/pushing showings than they once had. |

Tony--I have to respectfully disagree. When we sold our home last year, it was DEFINITELY our agent who made the difference. He was young, internet saavy, and enthusiastic. He did one of the most beautiful photo displays I've seen anywhere, he had our home on every RE website, he had targetted ads on Facebook (targetting the population most likely to buy our home). He had 2 open houses for us that he advertised in all the right places (they were unbelievably well-attended, given the shape of the market last winter). He followed up on every person who walked through. He was in contact with us daily and EVERY DAY did something for each of the homes he had listed to help them sell. Oh, and the bottom line? In a bad economy, with our house in a neighborhood that was definitely changing, he sold our house for us in under 5 weeks--for almost what we were asking (which was pretty high for the neighborhood). The WRONG agent doesn't sell homes, but the right one certainly can make the difference between a quick sale at a good price--ESPECIALLY in an internet-driven market. And the proof of the pudding? This was our second agent. The first had the listing for 6 months, only 3 parties looked at the house because it wasn't properly promoted. During the 5 weeks the second agent had it? Almost 30 different parties came through, and it was one of the open houses that introduced our home to it's buyers. A good agent--one who is truly excited about selling, one who knows how to use the internet to full advantage, can be your best friend. Just a side note--after he sold our house, our agent actually sold a house that wasn't for sale! He knew it was perfect for some potential buyers he had, it wasn't on the market, so he knocked on the door, and talked the owners into selling. THAT'S the kind of agent who will sell your house. |
I'd say you have no proof in your pudding. You found an exceptional REA. That's not the norm....it's the exception. The dropout rate of REA's in the industry is higher than 90%. It's worse than the food service business. Heck, even convenience stores have a lower dropout rate. If you find a great REA, consider yourself both smart and lucky. They are the exception and for homes sold in the last five years the post-sales buyer surveys prove this. In fact, here's the NAR report....the Internet is driving home showings, NOT REA's. -The typical buyer began their home search online and then contacted a real estate agent. Buyers who used an agent searched a median of 12 weeks and visited 10 homes, down from 12 homes in 2011. -When buyers were asked where they first learned about the home they purchased, 42 percent said the Internet; 34 percent from a real estate agent; 10 percent a yard sign or open house; 6 percent from a friend, neighbor or relative; 5 percent home builders; 2 percent directly from the seller; 1 percent a print or newspaper ad; and less than 1 percent from other sources. -Ninety-one percent of home buyers who used the Internet to search for a home purchased through a real estate agent, as did 71 percent of non-Internet users, who were more likely to purchase directly from a builder or from an owner they already knew in a private transaction. -Local metropolitan multiple listing service websites were the most popular Internet resource, used by 54 percent of buyers; followed by Realtor.com, 51 percent; real estate agent websites, 47 percent; real estate company sites, 39 percent; other websites with real estate listings, 27 percent; search engines, 19 percent; mobile or tablet apps, and for-sale-by-owner sites, 13 percent each; mobile or tablet websites, 12 percent; and mobile or tablet search engines, 11 percent; other categories were notably smaller. I stand by my earlier statement with a lot more than anecdotal evidence. REA's are overwhelmingly becoming irrelevant when it comes to deciding which homes to SHOW to buyers. They are still VERY relevant to facilitating the buying/selling process. Just not for showings any longer. That ship has long since sailed. |
Azzalea, the agent you used sounds great, but I have one question. How much of a price drop on the house was there between the first and second agents? |
Anybody else wonder why the Original Poster doesn't continue to participate in a thread they start? I can understand if they get the less than polite responses that is sometimes seen, but this could have turned into a useful thread for the OP. |

People prefer to vent and play the blame game rather than actually being forced to contemplate that the problem might just be in the mirror. No one ever wants to hear that they might be overpriced for the market. And a lot of people forget to bookmark the address of the many forums that they post their vents to, leading to drive by postings. |

Our agent only gave us a few suggestions of houses to go see while we were looking. Most of the time, we told him which ones we wanted to see after looking online. He had listingbook set up so we just favorited the ones we wanted to go see and he set up the appointments. |

It has been almost a year and a half since the OP posted. I wonder if they are still being blacklisted? |
(the thread was spammed and therefore bumped to the top. Spam has been removed, but thread remains bumped.) Just the way things go. |

I know that I will almost never use it. I drive less, so I use less gas, so I will not pay for it that way. The people who will use it are the ones that I see stuck on I-5 every evening trying to go north or south, spending a hour to get through downtown. I am sure some of those moms and dads who need to beat the 6pm nanny extra charges will give five or ten bucks to get home on time. That is who will pay. The higher the fee, the less it is used, the more beneficial it will be to those who need it.
Deep-Bore Tunnel Bids, Arriving for Halloween, Get Early Treats from WSDOT
You know that phrase, "money quote"? This time it's literal:
"Both teams, and maybe the two teams that dropped out, expressed concern the [state's cost target] is too low. They couldn't figure out how to bid the project at that amount or lower," Dick Page told the Seattle Times, explaining WSDOT's decision to spend down its $415 million cash reserve by $230 million in concessions to the two bidding teams.
(Page is district leader for HNTB, the engineering part of Seattle Tunnel Partners, which also includes Dragados-USA; the Seattle Tunneling Group is a consortium of S A Healy and FCC Construccion, SA, with design by Parsons Transportation Group and Halcrow.)
Keep in mind that, as TunnelTalk reports, "Specifications within the bid documents are minimal. Much of the means, methods and risk mitigation measures are left to the expertise and preferences of the pre-qualified design-build bidding teams."
Projected tunnel costs have already increased by $60 million, so with this latest news, WSDOT's Cost Estimate Valuation Process has been on the low side by around $300 million on a $2.1 billion project.
Yes, the contingency and risk fund was included in the original estimate, but what we're seeing is that contingency and risk have eaten up half that fund a year before a single clod of earth has been moved. That's not a good sign; what's also not a good sign is that you can't seem to find a single tunnel proponent who is bothered by it.
They should be, because the merits of the project aside, the deep-bore tunnel could see a funding death by a thousand cuts. The state has resolutely capped its contribution to the entire $4.24-billion project at $2.8 billion (leading to a contentious debate over whether Seattle is responsible for any overages). Tolling will be needed to make up part of the funding gap (a tricky prospect, since the higher the tolls are set, the fewer people will use the tunnel).
And the state may have already bitten off more than it can chew. In February, the state's gas tax revenue was down $168 million for the 2009-2011 biennium. The state's Office of Financial Management has updated that number, and the decline has continued. Some $1.8 billion of tunnel funding is supposed to come from gas tax increases passed in 2003 and 2005, but over the entire 16-year forecast horizon for gas tax revenues, the forecast for September 2010 is down almost one percent ($180 million) from the June 2010 forecast. All transportation revenues are off almost $1 billion over that period.
Essentially, the needle on the gas tax gauge keeps dropping before we've gone anywhere–and gas tax "collateral" is critical for backing the debt the state wants to incur for all mega projects coming up.
Still to come: The two teams will submit their bids on October 28, but only the technical proposals will be considered first; the financial side will wait until December 23. (Really, the design for Halloween and the bill for Christmas?) The reason for the lag is that the teams will get "credits" for cost-savings and other innovations in their design proposal that can be subtracted from what they have determined the final cost will be.
Then from January until August 2011, the winner of the bid process will get a head-start on "project neutral" work, since the Environmental Impact Statement won't be approved (or not) until then.

Where did my earlier comment disappear to? To conclude the cut/cover as the only sensible tunnel option is too intriguing, provocative? GMAB
Sorry, Wells. I guess it's been etherized. I just checked our spam flagger and didn't see it there, so your comment has vanished on us. If you feel up to it, give it another shot.
The DBT is poorly engineered for managing traffic; the traffic will incur terrible impacts to public health and safety; the risk of constructing the DBT is insane and it's the more expensive tunnel option constructed successfully or after various setbacks.
Picture water running along the outside of the tunnel under pressure in the path of least resistance, up and down, at first a trickle then a steady stream carrying away soft soils over time wearing away miles of tunnel joints and forming voids and sinkholes.
Picture the cut/cover tunnel creating the strongest seawall and "boxing" in the soft soils, solidifying them from deep down to the surface.
The cut/cover keeps the Battery Street Tunnel with SR99 rebuilt below Elliott/Western. In an accident, emergency vehicles can reach the site sooner, evacuation is faster, detour traffic is simpler. WSDOT directors care as much about public safety as Seattle business leaders care about its traffic nightmare, ie, not much. Highway Robbers and Parking Garage Moguls.

The country music world lost one of its most beloved sons in 2003. Johnny Cash left an everlasting impression on how stories are told through music.
Fans of the man in black's work now have an opportunity to hear untold stories through his new album "Out Among the Stars," which released Tuesday.
The album is a collection of studio recordings Cash made with producer Billy Sherrill in Nashville, Tenn. Cash's son, John Carter Cash, discovered the lost '80s recordings. He stumbled on the songs in Hendersonville, Tenn., and began working on restoring them at the Cash Cabin Studios.
The 12 track album is a timeless representation of the man in black's decades of work. It bridges the gap between his early work with Sun Records and his later collections with American Recordings.
The album begins with "Out Among the Stars," the title track. Cash's distinctive baritone voice comes to the foreground as he speaks of hardship and troubles, explaining how we all have demons in our lives, so we must be considerate of others' struggles.
The album picks up the pace with no hesitation on the second song, "Baby Ride Easy." A collaboration with his wife June Carter Cash, the song begins with the classic country rhythm of fast-paced bass and snare as Cash strums his guitar. The couple's energy lifts the song up as their passion and love for music and one another become apparent.
The next two songs, "She Used to Love Me a Lot" and "After All," work together to produce a perfect transition between the faster and slower paces of the collaborations. The songs slow down the flow of the tracks, as both focus on the tone of voice Cash produces. His unique blend of lyricism and vocal strength makes these songs the album's most inspiring pieces.
Cash also performs a cover of Hank Snow's old country classic "I'm Movin' On" in collaboration with country music legend Waylon Jennings. It's apparent the two enjoyed creating this track because of their uplifting spirit and energy throughout.
One of Cash's greatest qualities through the years was his way of using humor to produce classic songs. "If I Told You Who It Was" is one of those humorous songs. With funny lyrics and an upbeat personality, Cash tells a story of meeting a famous musician and creating a short-lived relationship. He continues this humorous composition later in the album on "I Drove Her Out of My Mind."
Cash speaks of morals on two of the album's more country influenced songs. "Call Your Mother" is a cheerful song describing the importance of respecting one's parents, while "Tennessee" speaks of staying true to one's homeland as he tells a story of his love for the state he resided in for more than 30 years.
The album ends on an inspirational track. "I Came to Believe" tells the story of Cash moving from a man struggling with addiction and pain to a man of faith.
The lost tracks show that while music has lost one of the best artists of the last century, his music will forever live on through others.
"Out Among the Stars" is available for purchase through iTunes. The album can also be streamed through Spotify.

As you already know, fires are raging out of control in several states, especially Colorado. These massive fires are so huge, they've consumed thousands of acres of land and destroyed many homes. In fact, yesterday, thousands of people had to evacuate their homes for safety purposes. Now, despite all this chaos going on, what if the worse turns to worst? For instance, what would happen if the states of California, Oregon, and Washington were also hit with severe drought and vegetation burned easily? Would there be enough manpower to quell these almost unruly wildfires or would all these areas be quarantined away from human usage?

Doesn't Epcot count as international cuisine? Apparently not—the Florida city ranked next to last for ethnic fare, but scored better for big-name dining, thanks in part to Emeril. Voters like Orlando best during winter and spring break, but a savvy time to visit this family-vacation mecca is right after school has started. During September, the city's best restaurants are offering "Magical Dining Month," with three-course, prix fixe dinner menus for $30.

NOTE 6/30: The hot weather and long miles have been wearing quite heavily on the Bus, and in recent days we've had a few engine problems. This means that we have had to rethink our route and trip speed a little. We're still planning on hitting Potlatch, so all of you who missed seeing the Bus in Calgary can see us in Redmond.

The Big Green Bus's route is structured around finding communities that are receptive to our cause and in which we can give our presentation to and interact with community members.
Ultimate Frisbee tournaments are the prime venues for the Big Green Bus to tour, as these tournaments gather anywhere from 300 to 1,000+ people in one place. Another focal point for the Big Green Bus is children's summer camps, where we will give our presentation on alternative fuels to school-aged children, and set up some Ultimate Frisbee clinics.
The Logistics Committee has been in contact with the regional coordinators of the Ultimate Players Association presenting our journey and requesting information about tournaments and communities that would host The Big Green Bus. The response has been astonishing. As of today, Logistics Committee has recieved more than 100 responses from people across the country who are excited about our project and enthusiastic to have us visit their community. Highlights for our trip include a stop at the Green Fair in Ann Arbor, MI, participation in the Potlatch tournament in Washington and Wildwood tournament in New Jersey, and a visit to Washington, D.C., all before we return to Hanover in August.
