- We used this location for our Sales MeetingSeattketokirklandDined on 11/10/2014We used this location for our Monday morning Sale Meeting and it was perfect. We were the only ones that were there during that time and the space was very quiet. I highly recommend this place for breakfast meetings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- We would rather eat McDonaldsPeartiniDined on 7/25/2014We burger was okay. The montecristo sandwich was soggy with cheap store bought strawberry preserves. The salad was awful. The only saving grace was the artichoke appetizer.
- Can't reviewFoodie76Dined on 6/15/2014I can't review this restaurant because we did not stay. The only reason I gave it 1 star is because I could not submit this review without filling in something. My daughter and I arrived at our 1:00 reservation time and were told to sit "anywhere." As there were only two other parties there we had multiple choices. The waitress informed us that the kitchen had not turned over so they were still only serving breakfast. My daughter and I debated whether we wanted breakfast at 1:00 but decided to stay as she had to be at work in an hour and a half. Then we were informed that the kitchen was actually closed and we would have to wait 20 minutes for it to open for lunch. I have NEVER been through such a ridiculous dining experience!Special Features:
- Great service alwaysFrequentDinerVIPDined on 6/8/2014Food is always fresh and tasty. Service is always superb regardless of when we go, light or busy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Better experience than I expectedMartbigeeDined on 5/11/2014It's in a bar, in a hotel, so I'm not sure it would have been kid friendly if it weren't Mother's Day. Given that the surrounds were nice and the buffet was good. The prices were high if the buffet was chosen, but given the day I think the price was within reason.Special Features:
- great easter brunchsundaufunDined on 4/20/2014fresh fruit, seafood and salads plus choice of a menu item made for a nice variety at a very reasonable price. the service was excellent. would definately recommendSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice but NoisycekirstDined on 3/27/2014My daughter and I met for dinner on a Thursday night. Never having been to Nine O before, we almost missed it--it is in a hotel. The bar and dining area are very close together, and it was noisy; hoping to avoid the noise, I chose a table on the side of a partial wall that was away from the bar, and which was also carpeted. Still noisier than I liked--there was a very happy group of men nearby--but it was okay. Our waiter was wonderful, and promptly brought my iced tea, and found out that a slight change could be made in an appetizer, though our food took awhile. My daughter's Greek salad was good, but not the best. My salmon with sauce was excellent, cooked just right. We did not linger because conversation was difficult due to the noise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- valentines dinneryathatguyDined on 2/14/2014I took my lady to the nine*o for valentines day . we both chose the valentine day special dinner ,She got the ribeye and I got the scallops ,both of which were prepared to perfection, the deserts were excellent also. the lobster bisque was good but not up to the entrée and desert's level. We didn't try the salad choice but it sounded like a good mix , I thought it was a great 3 course meal for a reasonable price,$39Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great date nightMomof2Dined on 2/14/2014Drinks were great. Food was great. Service was friendly and great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Better than expectedTheSassySlothDined on 2/14/2014As a fairly casual restaurant that's part of a somewhat plain hotel, I expected the food and service to be decent and cheap--an "average" restaurant if you will. However, our waitress was very friendly, kept up with water refills, etc.--very nice, no problems here. The food itself was surprisingly excellent. I had pesto penne with grilled chicken, and it really was delicious--more so than I expected, to say the least. On the other hand, the cesar salad I ordered didn't seem very fresh and had a rubbery sort of cheese on top. Regardless, because the pesto was so good, I had to give the food an overall score of 3/5 (the Cesar itself would've been a 1/5). Overall, a very nice meal for the price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reservations?Foodie79Dined on 2/10/2014Reserved a lunch table for seven people - they had no record of a reservation, although I had a computer printout with the reservation number/info, so had to wait while they set up. TV screen was on wall directly above our table and was high volume - they did turn the volume off upon request, but TV screen was distracting. Waiter was polite/accommodating/efficient, food was very good on the whole for all seven orders.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Average hotel eateryOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 12/23/2013I picked this restaurant out of convenience as I was staying at the hotel. I ordered their sirloin medium well, and what I got was well-done and almost flavorless as it was just the plain meat with no seasoning. The dessert (crème brulee) was better than the main meal, but I've had better. I think the food here is just average, and would not recommend this place unless you are in a hurry and want to eat where you're staying to avoid an extra trip. Otherwise, drive to the Factoria area less than a mile away and take your pick.
- Horrible in many waysRubenVIPDined on 8/16/2013So, we noticed that this place was on the Passport list and thought we would try it out. What we noticed on Open Table was that it said it had a new/detailed menu now, so we thought we caught it at a better time....no. We arrived and ended up walking in the back entrance (wasn't marked) and didn't see a hostess, one never came so we just sat outside. We let someone know we were there and then they came out. The server was very nice and didn't have an answer to why the menu was so very limited and short, I showed her the Open Table description as well. Anyhow, we ordered the Caesar Salad each and they came out wilted and brown...awful. They took them back. We both ordered 2 steaks, both came back overdone. We left after that.
- nice lunch spotRogerDined on 8/13/2013Went With my 3 year old. Very accommodating, even put something together off menu for her since she was being a picky eater.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice restaurant to go lastOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/12/2013Nice restaurant to go last minute. Food was very nice. Presentation was also nice.
- in a hotel, you'd never know it...OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 6/30/2013don't let the hotel fool you, i think this is so much better than any regular hotel dining room. have eaten there and had several meetings there also. free wifi, great service, outdoor seating, solarium or regular dining room. the staff there is super nice and helpful! lots of parking, central location and easy in and out. my favorite dish is the egg white fritatta (spelling?) that is great and healthy, but they have a menu that has the favorites on it also. would totally recommend it!Special Features:
- Always enjoyed itFrequentDinerVIPDined on 5/18/2013Have been to Nine O on a regular basis and never disappointed. The hard part is try to not get the cioppino and sweet potato fries each time as they are soooo delicious! The servers are always friendly and pleasant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mothers Day Dissappointmentlooking4foodDined on 5/12/2013I needed to make reservations for a mothers day brunch and our usual haunts would have been completely jammed. The menu read well, so I went for it. Basically, the food would have been OK at half the price. The poached eggs were overcooked. The bagels looked like they came out of a supermarket bag. But, the killer was the special Mothers Day prices ranging $25 to $30. For that, we got two eggs, potatoes, a pancake and a piece of bacon. We had access to a modest buffet, but it was still small and not compelling. When asked if they wanted to eat from the dessert buffet, my kids said not here. Everyone felt a sense of disappointment and only I faced paying the bill of $121.11 with tax before tip for a brunch for four.
- This was a great place forByronDined on 4/12/2013This was a great place for lunch. Food was delicious and service gracious. Good space for a conversation. Looks like it would be great for dinner too. Kind of a surprise find inside a Silver Cloud hotel. Great location with easy access to I-90 in the Factoria area.Special Features:
- Comfortable and relaxingFrequentDinerVIPDined on 3/20/2013Comfortable and relaxing while energizing, it also gives you that at home feeling. Without a large number of servers, she is extremely efficient but you would not be rushed at all. Great place to take a friend, a business associate, a loved one, a date or a new acquaintance. Do not miss their seafood cioppino or sweet potato fries.Special Features:

Ryan Jarvis of East Norwich correctly identified the mystery picture in the July 5 issue of the Enterprise Pilot. He said, "It's taken on Route 106, just south of 25A down from the Methodist Church. That's a 1926 Studebacker fire truck from the East Norwich Volunteer Fire Department." His great grandfather is in a picture with the truck at the East Norwich firehouse. Ryan's dad, Jake Jarvis said that Ryan just became a member of the East Norwich Juniors. "My son John has been with them for two years. John and Ryan are the fourth generation of firefighters out of East Norwich. I was chief in 1994 when I started the juniors."
Eileen Aliani, too, recognized the photo taken by Gregory Druhak. Ms. Aliani had two answers to give: "Last week's mystery picture was of the Western Waterfront and this week's July 5 is a picture of the parade for the 100th Anniversary of the East Norwich Fire Company, and was taken from south of Route 106."
Jessica Craft made a good guess on the July 5 photograph saying, "The picture is of the July 2 East Norwich Memorial Day Parade," which was very close. The event actually took place on Saturday, June 30 and was, as you know by now, the East Norwich fire company parade – which is in a way, a memorial parade to remember all the firefighting families who have kept East Norwich the safe, warm community it is.
Belle Santora called and said, "The mystery-mystery picture in the June 28 issue is not a mystery. It's Beekman Beach with a view of the children and their kayaks practicing for their races. Looking north is the dock for the Christeen and Centre Island is on the other side of the harbor."
Pat Devlin said, "The picture in the June 28 issue is Beekman's Beach, part of the Western Waterfront, and the young peole are doing stand up boarding. They first kneel and when they get away from the shore they stand up and use paddles. There are also kayaks there for the kayak competition. It's very interesting down there and beautiful as well."
Billy Minicozzi, back from Hawaii guessed the June 28 photo was of West Harbor Beach.
Barbara McQuade called and said, "I graduated from Oyster Bay High School in 1956 and Beekman Beach was our hangout when summertime came. The picture was in the June 28 issue of the Enterprise Pilot and I'm so excited to see the beach, even though I now live on the west coast of Florida. I get this paper because I miss so many people I know.
"I see that Reggie Butt got the answer (in the Mystery Picture) the week before. He was a classmate of mine; and Abe Bernstein was another. I read about him sometimes. It's fun to see the paper and get some tugs on the heartstrings. Wow, it brings back the good stuff. I just wanted to say hello," ended Ms. McQuade.
"The mystery picture is Beekman Beach, on the left side of the beach as you come into TR park." said Barbara Stair.
Jessica Craft emailed to identify the photograph as Beekman Beach.
Emma Guevara identified the mystery picture in the June 28 Enterprise Pilot, too. She said, "The picture is of Beekman Beach."
Leven Ashby emailed his answer, "It's Beekman's Beach looking across to the pier where the Jacobson's Shipyard used to be. I spent a lot of time on that beach at a young age, when a young woman named Agnes Dulumbo (last name may be misspelled) would gather some of us kids on Lake Avenue and take us there."
The answers for the mystery picture column this week were a good run. Our deadlines for the Fourth of July delayed some of the answers. We also have to apologize for leaving out some callers' answers. Please spell your name when you call to make sure we have you correctly identified. The names are usually spoken first, and people tend to say their own names quickly and often not clearly enough for the person who has to guess at the spelling. This is not a complaint, it is an apology – we tried — but we didn't want make a "mess of a guess."

Well this isn't something we see very often but Selma Blair was not in the mood to see the paparazzi today. Normally Selma is happy and smiling for the cameras but as she was caught leaving the gym today she definitely didn't look like she was in the mood to have her picture taken. She did seem to be in a better mood after she grabbed an iced coffee. Maybe she just needed her caffeine fix.
Selma is looking rather thin in these pictures and I have to wonder if some of the stress of her personal life is taking it's toll. We recently learned that Selma and her fiance Jason Bleick have split and Selma has moved in to an apartment with her 14 month old son Arthur. Hopefully she's taking care of herself!

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that it is inappropriate for the judicial branch to intervene in a dispute over legislative fines.
The judicial branch must decline to pass judgment, said the decision, which lets the fines and collection of them stand.
Chief Justice Brent Dickson authored the majority opinion, finding that the issuance and collection of fines as discipline are up to the legislative branch. Justice Mark Massa and Justice Steven David concurred.
Justice Loretta Rush and Justice Robert Rucker dissented.
The court heard oral arguments in the case in January and at that time urged mediation, though a compromise was never found.
The case centers on fines issued by House Speaker Brian Bosma to Democratic lawmakers who in 2011 and 2012 refused to come to the House chamber, which resulted in a lack of quorum to do business.
The Democrats didn't contest the ability of Bosma to levy the fines, but they believed it was unlawful for State Auditor Tim Berry to unilaterally withhold the fines from the legislators' expense pay. The amount at issue totals more than $100,000.
Mark GiaQuinta, who represented dozens of House Democrats, argued that Bosma and Berry should have followed the state law that other employers must follow and gone to court to receive a garnishment order.
The 3-2 vote indicates the closeness of the issue and the complexity of the issue, he said. I understand this was a tough case and the majority disagreed with me, and that happens in this business.
GiaQuinta said he will seek a rehearing of the ruling by the Indiana Supreme Court. He wants clarification on an issue that Tuesday's decision did not address – the automatic reduction of lawmakers' pensions when their per diem pay was docked.
The Indiana Attorney General's Office represented Bosma in the case and contended that the fines are an internal legislative matter over which courts have no jurisdiction.
The 25-page ruling said when the Indiana Constitution expressly assigns certain functions to the legislative branch without any contrary constitutional qualification or limitation, challenges to the exercise of such legislative powers are non-justiciable and the doctrine of separation of powers precludes judicial consideration of the claims for relief.
Attorney General Greg Zoeller praised the ruling.
The separation of powers is a central pillar of constitutional law. We are pleased that the Supreme Court recognized constitutional limits and held that the judicial branch cannot interfere with the internal management of the legislative branch and that the people's elected representatives in the legislature must resolve such disputes among themselves, he said.
Bosma called the ruling a victory for proponents of limited government and consider the matter closed. I am glad that we can put this issue behind us and continue our work for the state in a bipartisan manner.
Rucker said in his dissent that the case isn't about the legislature's ability to discipline its members, including fines. Instead, it's about collection. He found that the wage payment statute applies squarely to the facts of the case.
The House's constitutionally granted legislative discretion to punish its members does not include the discretion to reduce its members' compensation. Defendants' actions are in direct conflict with Article 4, Section 29 of the Indiana Constitution, Rucker said.
The House Democrat caucus did not comment on the case. Instead, Indiana Democratic Chairman John Zody sent out an email saying free speech isn't free.
The fines were nothing but a monetary power grab to show complete Republican dominance, he said. That's what these folks do, and we have to make sure we work hard to elect Democrats next year to restore our voice at the Statehouse.
Otherwise, we'll continue to live in a state where Republicans run roughshod over the middle class – and everyone who speaks up on their behalf.

I am a big fan of DIY and upcycling, and I've done a number of projects using yard sale and thrift shop finds to organize my house. I am an avid Pinterester and have a whole board devoted to DIY style. Every time I see a new project make the rounds I want in; I was one of the first to hop on the letterpress-drawer-as-earring-hanger wagon. Recently, I've been following all of the clever ways that people organize their jewelry. For a long time, I've wanted to figure out a new and unique way to organize my necklaces.
At a yard sale the other day, it finally came to me. I saw an old wooden travel chess set with carved chess pieces, and thought, that could be turned into something amazing.
Here's a step by step of how I made a chess board necklace organizer.
Step 1: Find a wooden chess set with a wooden board.
The wooden pieces have the heft you need to hang heavier necklaces. You can also drill or nail into the wood if you need it to be even more sturdy.
Step 2: Figure out the configuration of the pieces.
I went with the famous Evergreen Board, although I'm missing a second rook. Depending on the number of necklaces you have, you may want to go with all the pieces, or fewer pieces to allow for maximum hangability.
Step 3: File the bottom of each piece
Epoxy adhesive works best with a little bit of grit, so sand down the bottoms of all the chess pieces.
Step 4: Use Epoxy adhesive to secure the pieces to the board.
Read the directions carefully, because Epoxy can be tough to work with. Make sure you know where all the pieces are going before you start, or the adhesive may dry before you are finished. The Epoxy will need at least an hour and a half to dry.
Step 5: Mount the chess board on a wall.
I used a simple picture frame wall mount for this.
Step 6: Hang the goods!
This project was so simple to complete and I love the finished product. It's got me thinking about all kinds of games that this could work with. Parcheesi, anyone?
For an easy alternative version, you could push eye hooks into any game board and work from there.

Chattanooga Village faces bogus smear campaign
aae1049 (aka April Eidson) needs to get her facts straight before posting on here. To be such a lover of TRUTH, she sure spreads a lot of untruth. She seems to have "Derrberry on the Brain". Jeff Brown was Pam's campaign manager in 2009. Before Ms. Eidson starts berating a hard-working public servant like Pam Ladd, who is arguably the hardest working person on the City Council, she needs to get her FACTS straight and stop incessantly publishing untruths and distortions of it.

Check here for the latest reports on news from Stafford County. You can email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
County registrar, state prepare for special election
Local elections just wrapped up two months ago, but Stafford County is getting ready to put at least one, if not two positions, back on the ballot.
Candidates for the supervisor and school board member representing the Garrisonville District will likely both be up for election this spring.
(Update: Turns out the new school board does not think the April 3 date set for the Garrisonville Supervisor election would be enough time for potential school board candidates to campaign. Here's the story from Stafford schools reporter Amy Umble about Tuesday's school board meeting.)
Monday night, school board member Ty Schieber was selected to replace Mark Dudenhefer as an interim supervisor. But he'll be leaving his school board post mid-term to fill that seat. The board will likely be discussing the new vacancy at tonight's meeting.
"I can't imagine the courts picking one date for this race and one date for that race," said Stafford's Registrar Greg Riddlemoser, who previously told the Board of Supervisors that it'll cost about $8,000 to implement a special election in Garrisonville's three precincts.
Today, he explained to me the steps to hold a special election:
The Board of Supervisors requested a writ of election from the circuit court for the selected date of Tuesday, April 3.
The judge could potentially change the date, but April 3 is the "will of the board."
Then, the State Board of Election will issue a candidates bulletin with the requirements to be on the ballot.
Potential candidates must file 60 days before the election date—by Feb. 3.
Because it's a special election, political parties can't have primaries. Riddlemoser says the most likely option is for the Democratic and Republican parties of Stafford to select their candidates through caucuses, if they decide to back a candidate for the election.
For someone to run independently, they must get 125 valid signatures of registered voters in the Garrisonville District.
Campaigning could have technically started on Jan. 1.
The SBE will hold a drawing to decide which party's candidate is listed first on the ballot; independent candidates are then listed alphabetically. The ballot will not list party affiliation, of course.
Also, the interim supervisor is not required to run in the special election, though the board members have said they'd want Schieber to run.
"They're just holding the seat until the scheduled election," Riddlemoser said.
Both Garrisonville seats are up for election again in November 2013, so the special elections would fill those seats for the remaining two years of the terms.
The last time the county had a special election was in December 2007. It was a multi-jurisdiction election because Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis (June 29, 1950 – October 6, 2007) died while in office.
Here are some other facts about Garrisonville:
The population of the district in 2000 was 13,856; according to the redistricting after the 2010 Census, it was 18,601. As of today, there are 5,853 "housing units" in Garrisonville.
There are 11,349 registered voters in Stafford as of Jan. 3.

The operator was selling helicopter rides at a fly-in. After one such ride, a pilot, who was acting as a ground crewmember, measured the fuel level in the tanks with a calibrated wooden stick while the engine was running and the rotor blades were turning. He determined that about 8 gallons of fuel remained, which was sufficient for the next ride. About 9 minutes after takeoff, the engine lost power. Witnesses reported seeing the helicopter flying low when they heard the engine "sputter" or "pop." The pilot reported that he performed an autorotation to a field; the helicopter landed hard on sloping terrain and rolled over onto its right side. Examination of the wreckage revealed that the engine lost power as a result of fuel exhaustion. Postaccident examination of the airframe and engine revealed no evidence of mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have prevented normal operation. The helicopter manufacturer provided a wooden stick for pilots to dip a fuel tank during preflight to determine the total quantity of fuel available for flight. A representative of the helicopter manufacturer stated that caution must be exercised when measuring fuel quantity with a stick, because the irregular shape of each fuel tank can make it difficult to interpret the actual fuel quantity at lower levels. It is likely that the pilot who checked the fuel level before the accident flight did not accurately determine the amount of fuel in the tanks. The helicopter was equipped with a fuel gauge mounted on the instrument panel in the cockpit that would have provided the accident pilot with a direct reading of the helicopter's fuel quantity.The helicopter was being flown with the two cabin doors removed, an approved operation according to the rotorcraft flight manual. The helicopter left the factory with individual seat belts and shoulder restraints for three occupants. The passenger reported that someone buckled her and her son into the same lap belt; no shoulder strap was used. During postaccident examination, it was noted that the buckle half of the lap belt for the center seat had been removed. The center seat single-strap shoulder harness was found attached to the buckle half of the right seat lap belt. The right seat Y-type shoulder harness was found stowed behind the right seat back cushion. The first responders found the right seat occupant under the helicopter with his legs still in the cabin. Both passengers sustained serious injuries. It is likely that the lack of separate lap belt/shoulder harness assemblies for the two passengers increased the severity of their injuries.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

DENVER (AP) - Jamie Moyer has agreed to terms on a minor league contract with an invite to the Colorado Rockies' spring training, pending a physical.
The 49-year-old lefty didn't play last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his throwing elbow.
Moyer has played 24 major league seasons, starting with the Chicago Cubs in 1986. He went 9-9 with a 4.84 ERA for Philadelphia in 2010.
Moyer is 267-204 with a 4.24 career ERA.

Are things toxic in your life, causing you problems? Are you ill; have a disease? You know, it's been decades already since scientific medical information has been released proving the mind body spirit connection.
It's time to strengthen a muscle you may not know you have. Our thoughts produce molecules, chemicals, and every cell in the body has receptors. Even the chemicals we release from tears vary if they are sad or happy tears. Every time we think painful thoughts we create toxins in our body. Maybe this has gone on for a lifetime or lifetimes and we came in with the manifestation of the past showing in our body or minds.
This muscle doesn't get exercised at the gym. You can take the reins of your pain or pleasure. It narrows down to those two. Pain can manifest from repressed or out of control expressed anger, sadness, guilt, depression; you can name the rest. Those thoughts carry toxins that can manifest in emotional or bodily pain. And thoughts carry into words, so listen to yourself silently or what you hear yourself say.
For instance, how is your environment, how are your relationships, bitter and bickering? Do you belittle yourself? You, alone, have choice to change your mind and/or change your experience.
For example, instead of feeling angst over what you are eating, change your mind and enjoy. If you are valuing yourself as less than, for any reason, accept and honor yourself as you are, right now. You have just changed the chemicals you released and done your body a big favor. You can also reprogram some better choices simply by using your mind alone.
Using your thoughts, experiment with putting your focus and imagination on what you desire to see happen. Do you visualize yourself happily eating healthy or moving your body more? In your mind's eye can you make a vision of you stubbing out those things you smoke?
How about seeing yourself putting your hand over a glass of alcohol, saying no more, thank you. The field of imagination and quick visualization is limitless, and takes less time than it takes to talk yourself out of it. You don't have to make it a vigilant habit right off the bat, remember it's all about pleasure and not the perception of something that is painful to you. You can do it for a fun experiment.
Your eternal spirit would like you to move past bickerings and not take things so seriously, investing more focus on how much pleasure is available to you by not wasting time on that stuff. In the grand scheme of things, you are causing yourself either toxic chemicals to invade your body or healthy molecules to disperse healing instead.
Instead of getting wrapped up in the angers and fears of national or world news, change your mind. Be in the world but not of it. You can just as easily have your opinion and side on the side you believe is right without anger. Get back to your own life and world and use that same time for something pleasurable. You may even notice how your whole body feels more relaxed and healthy, and over time low and behold, see how you have healed. Even the Bible says, physician heal thyself.
Instead of fearing the job may be snatched away from you by the economy or a perceived underhanded ploy, take your power back and make your plan B and C, without needing to plot revenge. The revenge chemicals would be poisoning You! Isn't it better, for your literal health, to be away from an environment of underhandedness anyway?
Look at things like that gratefully; as nothing more than a spiritual tap on the shoulder for your own good, serving to make your perception and happy muscle stronger. That's loving yourself.
No one causes another a heart attack. You are in control of your own thoughts. You may think that the man who is marrying your daughter is not good for her and carry the anger and toxic chemicals for a long ride into your own system, and come to find out later that you may have been right, but gained a beautiful granddaughter and got to witness your daughter find her personal power by going through a friendly separation.
There is a greater divine knowing that desires for us to take things lightly and knows very well why things may not look on the surface that they are going your way, but if you wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, you will see there is always an underlying higher purpose for all that goes on.
You have the power to turn the toxic into health, and turn health into toxicity. Eating right around toxic people will change the molecules. Eating so-called wrong may not harm you when loving yourself.
The body's cells are replaced regularly; the stomach lining about every 4 days, the liver about every 5 weeks, a new layer of skin about every 3 weeks. Nearly the entire body's atoms are new about every year. The chemicals we produce have either made us weak and susceptible or strong and resistant to disease.
Fearing, worrying about, or reviewing a negative experience can produce even more toxic chemicals than the experience as it happens, because in the moment we can make decisions about the best way to handle a situation.
Have you noticed some young people look and act old, and some much older people look and act young? A bigger person may be very healthy and a thin person fraught with ailments. It's not their genes. It's their mental and loving choices, or not. Never too late to change, so toast to pleasurable attitudes and loving choices. Let's literally remake ourselves. To our health!

Spirit Of Jezebel Continued
Part Two
- November 9, 2005 07:20 PM (GMT)
Jezebel, part 2
... by Nita Botzenmayer
CHARACTERISTICS AND MANIFESTATIONS, Continued
Deep Convictions
Jezebels are usually people of deep convictions. As mentioned earlier, many people controlled by the Jezebel spirit have a true heart for God and earnestly desire to serve Him. The original Jezebel was devoutly religious - but was at total enmity with God. She worshipped at the altar of Baal (worship of the flesh). Modern-day Jezebels may indeed believe they are serving the one true God; however, the true hidden agenda is self-worship.
Murmuring, Complaint, and Criticism
Jezebels utilize the spirits of murmuring and complaint and criticism, which are "servant spirits" in her stronghold. She uses criticism of perceived faults in others to build up her own self-esteem, and to justify her disobedience of, or lack of respect for, others. Because she tends to perfectionism, as mentioned above, any fault she finds in others is grounds for disobeying their authority. She uses criticism as a tool to manipulate those around her, and along with murmuring and complaint, causes divisiveness to weaken her opposition and thereby gain control over or destroy them.
Jezebels are lustful spirits with lust for power being primary; however, as mentioned earlier, their lust may be manifested sexually, if it will bring the desired result. The manifestation varies from a wife withholding sexual union from the husband for manipulative purposes, to utilizing sexual temptation to draw one more powerful into a compromised position that will cause his destruction or downfall.
Angry Display
Jezebel displays angry, vicious and sometimes violent behavior when opposed. She will turn on the one who refuses to do her will or submit to her (especially if she has been successful in manipulating this person in the past), frequently with a vicious, berating verbal attack aimed at humiliation. The emotional damage caused by these outbreaks can be devastating to the one at whom she directs her wrath. This is often the source of terrible emotional wounds for her children and spouse.
When this angry behavior happens in public, it often exposes the true spirit in operation to others who may have been previously deceived.
Infirmities and Disease
Jezebels frequently ENJOY poor health, especially the "low-profile" type. For them, it is a tool for attention, sympathy and other forms of manipulation. It usually has one of two purposes - to manipulate others into serving them, or to avoid doing something they do not wish to do.
Although this manifestation is not limited to the Jezebel personality, it is often a strong trait displayed. As each complaint is discovered by those around her not to be as serious as she claims, she must develop still other infirmities, more serious and/or more bizarre than the previous ones, to maintain her control or attention.
The Jezebel personality will frequently develop debilitating illnesses that are hard to diagnose or treat, or a combination of illnesses which cannot be treated together. For example, I have seen one Jezebel who now has ulcerative colitis and arthritis. Treatment of the arthritis with anti-inflammatory medications makes the colitis flare up, and some of the colitis treatments appear to exacerbate the arthritis - putting this Jezebel in a "catch 22" worthy of much sympathy. Other common afflictions are fiber-myalgia and lupus, both considered incurable (though not life-threatening).
Note: these afflictions are not limited to the Jezebel spirit's victim; they may be manifestations of the self-pitying rejectionist attempting to garner attention, as well as other spiritual influences utilizing this form of manipulation, or they may be unrelated to a demonic stronghold altogether.
The tragedy is that this form of "invited infirmity" eventually leads to real physical problems, and becomes a part of the destruction wrought on the victim by this spirit.
Revile Authority
Jezebels revile (despise and show no respect for) authority. Building on "fear of authority" (especially since men are frequently the authority figures who originally hurt them) coupled with rebellion, she hates anyone placed in authority over her, and seeks to destroy them and take their power. An early manifestation in childhood is a lack of respect for self or others, and no respect for possessions, either theirs or others'.
In addition to destroying those around her, Jezebel especially hates the victim she is controlling (remember the mission of Jezebel--to kill the prophets: the victim is often herself anointed of God to be prophetic), and will ultimately cause her victim to self-destruct. This is the "black widow spider syndrome" of the Jezebel spirit. Black widow spiders kill their mates. In the spirit realm, there are two applications: 1)the Jezebel seeks to kill the male authority figure (or prophet), 2)she seeks to kill her victim (which is mated to her when Jezebel takes control).
Jezebels curse everyone, bringing a curse upon themselves, most of the time unwittingly. Criticism is a form of cursing, both of the person being criticized, and of God their Maker. Murmuring and complaint is a cursing of circumstances, which also curses God for allowing them. Jezebel is a master of criticism, murmuring and complaint, as mentioned previously.
Superiority Complex
Jezebels frequently perceive themselves as intellectually and/or spiritually superior to others, and "talk down" to others. This attitude is actually despising others.
Hates Repentance and Humility
Because the Jezebel spirit is prideful and rebellious, she hates repentance and humility. These are two mighty weapons which can be used against her. This is also a key in discerning this spirit.
Bitterness and Resentness
Bitterness and resentment against past hurts and offenses are nurtured in the victim by the Jezebel spirit, because she knows a root of bitterness will grow like a cancer and manifest itself in all sorts of physical ailments, which she can use as tools of manipulation, as noted above. Of course, this cancer of bitterness is also slowly destroying the victim.
In many cases, the countenance of the victim gradually grows more and more unattractive, and in the end, victims controlled by the Jezebel spirit may resemble the witch?like crones which symbolize witchcraft, where this spirit is birthed. The victim rots from the inside out, physically and spiritually.
Jezebel Covens
Perhaps because they are all drawn to power, many Jezebels will be drawn to the most influential Jezebel in operation in a local church setting. Though done unconsciously, it has the effect of a full-fledged witches' coven, with a high priestess in charge, sitting in the local church body, often with harmful or devastating results.

Guidelines for Intercession
Although mercy and deliverance is available from God, until the person being controlled by the Jezebel spirit is fully delivered, Holy Spirit-guided caution should be exercised in dealing with this person. Care should be taken in giving a place of recognition or authority to the victim, as it feeds this spirit. This warning is derived from Revelation 2:20-23, and should not be taken lightly. Remember the stated mission of the Jezebel spirit: to kill (destroy) the prophets of God.
Use Discernment and "Test the Spirits"
The victim controlled by Jezebel may exhibit many gifts and have a true heart for God. One reason she is a victim is that Jezebel is out to kill HER.
The gifts and callings are without repentance (Rom. 11:29). In other words, the gifts are given by the Holy Spirit without regard to "merit" - you can't earn them.
We are commanded to "test the spirits" (I Jn. 4:1). To test for Jezebel, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, remember:
1)"You shall know them by their fruit" (Matt. 7:16), not their gifts.
2) Jezebel hates humility and repentance. She will refuse or dodge a call for either one of these to be done in her life, or fake it if "boxed in", even by "falling out in the Spirit".
3) The characteristics, personality, and methods of operation will usually manifest themselves openly at times. The seducer is often blatantly obvious to everyone except the person being seduced.
The Word admonishes us to "walk circumspectly" - to be observant of what's going on (Eph. 5:15). Defiance of and lack of submission to genuine authority will usually manifest itself clearly, giving the force behind it away. The key is to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's guidance and discernment, being careful not to become critical or judgmental yourself.
Denial is Routine
Much intercessory warfare may be required for the victim to be delivered. Victims must first recognize deliverance is needed. It is rare that a person, if directly confronted and told Jezebel is the problem, will believe and accept it. Denial is routine. There is always some other reason for their behavior, and it is true that other spiritual influences may be actively in operation.
Often, a Jezebel will have gone through a "deliverance" ministry earlier, and been told they were totally and completely delivered. However, because doors were not properly shut in the spirit realm, the Jezebel spirit was able to return, unbeknown to the victim, with free rein and multiplied in power (Luke 11:24-26).
The victim now believes a lie: that they are fully delivered, and cannot be deceived by the enemy since they are now completely Holy-Spirit controlled. I have heard this type of "confession" from two Jezebels, even after reminding one of them of the warning of Jesus in Matthew 24:24. The Jezebel now operates freely in her victim, masquerading as the Holy Spirit, with the victim (and many of those around her) fully deceived.
Use Compassion and Understanding
Jezebels generally have a deep lack of self-worth and understanding of God's love for them personally, regardless of the amount of knowledge of the Word. There is such a desperate need of fulfilling self-worth they are ruthless to gain any measure of recognition, even if they already have it. They will step on whoever gets in their way, and many times not be aware they are.
Because of rejection and Jezebel, they cannot properly understand the principle of identity in Christ, though they may believe it intellectually. Indeed, there may be a fear of loss of identity associated with "identity in Christ".
There is also a fear of loss of blessing ("what will I lose in giftings, control, etc.?") if they turn and renounce their stronghold. This is another manifestation of lack of trust in God that His blessings cannot far exceed those which are already there, or that He would take away blessing He has already bestowed.
The Lord gave me a vision to illustrate a person victimized by the Jezebel spirit. It was a picture of a huge, ugly, strong "alien"-like being with a metallic-looking body, as in the movie, "Alien". The Jezebel spirit was a "superstructure", or "exoskeleton", like the hard body of a beetle. Inside was the victim, a "puddle" of bloody, gelatinous mass lying on the ground (the Lord gave me "X-ray vision" ). The victim was lonely, afraid (particularly of being abandoned), forlorn, and in terrible spiritual pain. With that vision, the Lord gave the understanding that deliverance from the Jezebel spirit with the victim in that condition would destroy the victim entirely.
Strengthen the Inner Man
The first step in intercession and in the victim's gaining deliverance from the Jezebel spirit, then, requires that the inner man be strengthened by the Lord (Eph 3:16).
This is the first principle of deliverance from any demonic stronghold. If you are interceding for the victim, begin to call forth strength in the inner man for them.
Be aware that God may give the victim some recognition in order to build up their inner man for deliverance. It may appear that the Jezebel spirit is being fed, when in actuality, the victim's inner man is what is being nurtured. This is why those dealing with the Jezebel-controlled victim must be careful to obey the leading of the Holy Spirit toward them. The goal is for the victim to become strengthened by the Lord to the degree that the stronghold can be exposed and the victim will choose to turn to the Lord, turning her back on the Jezebel and renouncing it in her life.
Maintain an Attitude of Repentance and Humility
These are two mighty weapons against the Jezebel spirit. She hates them both, as mentioned before. If you display these qualities before her, you may even be despised and reviled by her openly. However, they disarm her weapons against you, serve to expose the Jezebel spirit, and are critical for you if you are interceding for her, your local body, or your region.

Take a look here for help Tristan. Why can't I create a homegroup?
Also go through the check list below.
If IPv6 isn't working correctly you also won't be able to create a Homegroup. This check list should insure that IPv6 is working correctly on your machine.
Are you running an Anti virus program? If so which one?
1. Temporarily disable Firewall and third party antivirus program on the computer for a test.
To enable certain IPv6 components in Windows 7, follow these steps:
1. Click StartCollapse this imageExpand this ima, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit.exe in the Programs list.
2. In the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
3. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry subkey:
4. Double-click DisabledComponents to modify the DisabledComponents entry.
Note If the DisabledComponents entry is unavailable, you must create it. To do this, follow these steps:
a. In the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
b. Type DisabledComponents, and then press ENTER.
c. Double-click DisabledComponents.
5. Type any one of the following values to configure the IPv6 protocol, and then click OK:
Type 0 to enable all IPv6 components.
Note The value "0" is the default setting.

I've been spreading that particular tip around the web, myself. Posting where it can be used.
Windows 7, for some unaccountable reason, sees all of IPv6 as not working unless the supposedly optional key to say which bits arent't working is present and set to zero

On the New York Mercantile Exchange, natural gas futures for delivery in June traded at USD4.237 per million British thermal units, down 0.57%.
The commodity hit a session low of USD4.216 and a high of USD4.295.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report on Thursday that natural gas storage in the U.S. in the week ending May 17 rose by 89 billion cubic feet, below expectations for an increase of 91 billion cubic feet, which reflected heightened demand.
Inventories rose by 75 billion cubic feet in the same week a year earlier, while the five-year average change for the week is a rise of 90 billion cubic feet.
Total U.S. natural gas storage stood at 2.053 trillion cubic feet as of last week. Stocks were 680 billion cubic feet less than last year at this time and 84 billion cubic feet below the five-year average of 2.137 trillion cubic feet for this time of year.
The report showed that in the East Region, stocks were 111 billion cubic feet below the five-year average, following net injections of 46 billion cubic feet.
Stocks in the Producing Region were 22 billion cubic feet below the five-year average of 850 billion cubic feet after a net injection of 32 billion cubic feet.
The data sent prices shooting up to levels ripe for profit taking on Friday.
Elsewhere, weather forecasting models pointed to a longer-term warming trend for much of the U.S., though some calls for below-normal temperatures in parts of the eastern U.S. weighed on prices.
Hotter temperatures send prices rising on sentiments that demand for natural gas will increase at the country's thermal power plants as businesses and households crank up their air conditioning units.

Monday March 30, 1987, dawned absolutely gorgeous in Southeast Alaska, one of those perfect and elusive days seen mostly on postcards. By early morning the temperature had already inched into the low fifties (Fahrenheit—around 10°C) and there was scarcely a cloud in the skies. The sun-starved residents of Juneau, the state capital, came out in droves during their morning coffee breaks. Sitting on office building steps with faces upturned, their fleece jackets lay discarded nearby while they absorbed the early spring sunshine as if in a trance.
Alaska Airlines Flight 61 had arrived on time from Seattle, Washington, during the mid-morning. The flight that would go on to make 'You have got to be kidding me' aviation history had thus far been uneventful and routine, giving the crew plenty of time to enjoy the majestic scenery. After landing, the two pilots assisted the ground crew in unloading the two large cargo pallets, or igloos, from the forward main cargo door. Operating in a combi configuration, with two pallet positions up front and 72 passenger seats in the back, the layout was ideal to serve the smaller Alaskan communities on the airline's route map.
With no road access between the Alaskan mainland and Juneau, aviation plays a vital rôle in the city's transport needs. Indeed, Flight 61 was—and still is—a regularly scheduled 'milk run' through the Southeast. After departing from Juneau, the flight would continue to Yakutat, then on to Cordova before terminating in Anchorage, Alaska's largest city and de facto capital.
Captain Bill Morin was in charge of the Boeing 737-200QC assigned to the flight that beautiful morning. He was a likeable and relaxed commander with seven years' experience. Assisting him in the right seat was First Officer Bill Johnson, who had been with the airline a little over three years having previously worked for Boeing, appropriately enough as a flight instructor on the 737. An affable and gentle individual, he would soon join the ranks of Alaska's own IPs (instructor pilots); but on this day he had been 'short called' by crew scheduling whilst on reserve.
After a quick cup of coffee during the brief stop, the crew headed back to the aircraft. There, a Mr 'C', a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Carrier Inspector, joined them from the Seattle Flight Standards District Office, or FSDO. He was to ride all the way to Anchorage with the crew. Mr C's duties included monitoring the crew's performance. He would also administer an en route check ride, observing the two pilots' aircraft handling, communications, and air traffic control procedures.
Any time an inspector from the FAA rides the cockpit jump-seat, tension on the flightdeck rises a few notches. All crewmembers strive to perform at their best, and to remember and abide by the many obscure and Byzantine FARs by which they will be judged. After briefing Mr C about what was expected of him, including assisting with scanning for traffic, the crew prepared for departure.
They were planning to take off on Runway 26 as their flight path would take them westbound to Yakutat. Taxiing away from Juneau's small terminal down the parallel taxiway, they noticed several large bald eagles circling to the south of the runway down toward Douglas Island. Eagles are a common occurrence in most of Alaska, the majestic birds soaring effortlessly on their powerful wings whilst searching for prey.
Captain Morin had flown the leg into Juneau; so, adhering to the established protocol of each pilot operating alternate sectors, Bill Johnson briefed the departure from Juneau, which incorporated an immediate left turn toward the infamous Juneau 'cut': a narrow valley in the hills immediately to the west of the airport. This 'cut' has shaped the approaches and departures into and out of Juneau since the dawn of aviation in Alaska. It was not until the recent advent of RNP (Required Navigation Performance) approaches that this has changed, with more options becoming available.
With maximum power from its two JT8D engines, the 737 thundered down the runway before rotating smoothly about halfway along the available length. As the gear retracted into the wells, Bill banked smoothly toward the cut while pulling the nose up to about 20°. Whilst settling into the climb, the flightdeck occupants noticed a large bald eagle approaching from their left. The three of them quickly surmised, with some relief, that they would pass beneath the eagle with plenty of separation. Hitting a large and heavy eagle with a jet aircraft at 200mph (320kph) can leave you with quite serious damage.
That the eagle had sighted the fast-approaching Boeing jet was equally obvious as it spread its huge wings out fully and literally stopped in the air. Only then did the two pilots realize that the big bird's breakfast hunt had been successful because in its powerful talons the eagle carried a decent-size fish. Apparently deciding that discretion is the better part of valor—or believing that the Boeing was a much larger bird intent on poaching its catch—the eagle smartly executed a sharp U-turn and headed back toward the south.
In the process, the eagle either voluntarily released its meal or the rapid turn ripped it out of its claws. The bird's timing and the trajectory of its drop would have made that infamous Irishman Murphy (of Murphy's Law fame) very proud. In one of those 'I cannot believe this is happening to me' moments, the two pilots watched the fish fall toward the aircraft as if in slow motion.
Bill Morin would later estimate that the fish was about 12 to 18in (31 to 46cm) long, and that it may have been a Dolly Varden, based on the fact that they were running at the time. Alaska Airlines's Juneau customer service manager thought that it might have been a cod. Whatever the piscine interloper was, it impacted the aircraft with an almighty thump just behind the last cockpit window on the captain's side, hard enough to leave a small dent.
After a short, somewhat stunned and silent interlude—while the pilots tried to comprehend what had just transpired—the engine instruments were scanned for signs of damage while Bill Johnson also conducted a quick check of the flight controls. Having determined that all controls and indications were normal, Bill Morin let out a low chuckle and asked, "Did we just hit what I think we hit?"
Agreeing that they had in fact collided with a fish, the crew contacted the airline's dispatch and maintenance control for further instructions. A consultation with all involved parties produced the decision that the flight would continue to its intended destination, Yakutat—which was reached uneventfully.
As they approached Yakutat, the crew of Flight 61 was advised that the aircraft would need to be inspected. Unfortunately, there were no qualified personnel in Yakutat to perform that task; so, a mechanic would have to be flown in from Juneau. The airline promptly chartered a small Piper Cherokee SIX from a local Part 135 company and dispatched a mechanic to check the 737 on the ground in Yakutat. Meanwhile, as the Boeing taxied up to the ramp adjacent to the terminal building, the crew found that almost all the townsfolk were waiting for them, news of their airborne adventure having travelled at the speed of radio.
After shutting down, the pilots and FAA inspector left their seats to go out and inspect the damage. There was, however, not much to see after the 45-minute flight from Juneau. Apart from the dent, all that remained was a greasy spot, a trail of blood, and some fish scales. While waiting for the mechanic to arrive from Juneau, Morin made a PA announcement requesting the passengers to wait inside the small terminal where it would be more comfortable. He also explained what had happened and what the problem was. Several passengers refused to believe him as they thought he was telling them an elaborate lie to cover up a much more severe mechanical problem.
The subsequent inspection proved very much a non-event, and after passengers were re-boarded the flight continued to Cordova and Anchorage as scheduled. But news of the incident overtook the Boeing, reaching rapidly across the small Alaska Airlines system. By the time the crew arrived in Anchorage—an hour or so late—the fish had grown to become a King Salmon, at least 5ft (1.5m) long and weighing 20lb (9kg). The crew soon became minor celebrities, before the story began to fade from memory.
Mr C from the FAA did, however, recall the event somewhat differently. Interviewed for the August 1987 edition of FAA World (the official FAA employee publication), he had this to say: "When the mechanics arrived and inspected the airplane their jaws—along with ours—nearly hit the pavement. What they found was the remains of a three-to-four-pound [1.3 to 1.8kg] salmon wedged in near the forward door and the wing root."
The FAA inspector even gave Captain Morin a fishing pole and asked the crewmembers to pose with him for a photo, which they reluctantly did. The event had now received the official seal of authenticity from the United States Federal Aviation Administration, thus assuring its place in the annals of aviation history.
When the story broke in the national press two days later—ironically on April 1—many readers predictably dismissed the tall, fishy tale as an April Fool's joke. But the story was real enough. The fish strike even made in into Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Like most good fishing stories about the big one that got away, this tale grew even taller with the passage of time, and recently even popped up in a popular aviation website. One correspondent wrote: "I remember reading about this. In Alaska, a large bird carrying a fish was startled by the 'plane and dropped the fish. The fish came through the radome and ended up by the co-pilot's feet." He also stated that he remembered seeing photos of the damage.
Both pilots are still with Alaska Airlines. Captain Bill Morin leads the airline's CIRP (Critical Incident Response Program) team, while Captain Bill Johnson was instrumental in introducing the AQP (Advanced Qualification Program) training program. Neither professes to be much of a fisherman; but they have shown how fly-fishing is done—Alaskan style.

Blueberry Mojito
2 oz light rum
1 oz fresh lime juice
2 tsps sugar
6 fresh mint leaves, 1 sprig to garnish
3 oz Soda water
10 Blueberries (7 to muddle, 3 to top)
Lime wedges to garnish
A Mojito is one of my favorite drinks, classic mojitos, strawberry, mango, and especially blueberry mojitos. I love specialty cocktails that require a little love to make, and I always go all fresh ingredients when I can. Fresh blueberries and limes, and the mint leaves are fresh out of the garden! I go a little heavy on all my ingredients, sugar, blueberries, and lime mostly, I like my drink as fruity and girly as I can get it, but don't go easy on the rum please :) Almost always served in a highball over ice and garnished with a mint sprig, mojitos are the perfect summer refresher. Heres how to make mine!
-Muddle 6 mint leaves, 7 blueberries, 1 oz of lime juice, and 2 tsps of sugar together in a high ball (Try not to crush mint leaves, just bruise to let out flavor).
-Add 2 oz light rum, & desired amount of ice.
-Top with 3 oz soda water (or less if you require a stronger drink).
-Give a final stir to lift ingredients.
-Add 3 Blueberrys and Lime to garnish, plus a mint sprig on the rim.
-Drink and enjoy :)

text by Paul Zilonka, C.P.
This is a story of a tree on a hill, a tree once planted in the red earth of a Mandeville hillside. That day in May 1973 was sunny and full and promise. New things were happening in the Church worldwide and here on Manchester road. In the shadow of an old bungalow with sagging porches, a few young altar servers of St Elizabeth Church in Kingston and two Passionist priests planted a little pine tree. It was meant to be a small gesture of remembrance for the first weekend retreat of the newly-named Mt. Calvary Retreat House.
Only God can make a tree, but we can all plant one. That gesture of more than twenty years ago has come to maturity in many ways. The original shoot took root and in the course of these decades it has grown into a vibrant evergreen. Some years ago, the trunk split in such a way that now two sturdy trunks soar toward the sky like twin spires of a cathedral towering twenty-five feet above the second story retreat house roof.
That flourishing tree aptly symbolizes what has happened within the walls of Mt. Calvary Retreat House and around the beautifully landscaped grounds for the past two decades. The original homestead could accommodate 16 retreatants, but the addition of the new wing in 1984 has made it possible for as many as 45 retreatants to visit at the same time.
Long before May 1973, there was another tree on another hillside, outside Jerusalem. the soldiers who planted that rough-hewn wooden base in the dusty nob of land nicknamed "skullplace" were not retreatants, but executioners. Unwittingly, they were setting up a memorial to the ingenious love of God who did not spare his own Son but handed him over that we might have life.
The killing has continued for centuries, but the tree of Jesus of Nazareth has never been forgotten. It has come to symbolize both the worst and the best of what it means to be human. Most of all it has spoken forever of the love of the Father who "so loved the world that he gave his only Son that all who believe in him might have life" (John 3:16).
The tree on Golgotha and the tree in Mandeville have one thing in common. Both are signs of God's love which we have experienced on earth.
Programs | Ecumenical Ministry | Directors | Towards the Future
At the only full-time Catholic retreat house in Jamaica, about 2,000 people participate each year in a variety of programs. Our full range of programs seeks to meet the many different needs of our retreatants. The movements of the Lord in the loves of his people take different directions at one moment or the other. We at Mt. Calvary strive to help in fostering that mysterious and wondrous experience.
Weekend Retreats | Directed Retreats | Days of Recollection | MBTI | Bible Institute | Guest Lecturers
Weekend Retreats begin Friday evening and end Sunday afternoon. A preached retreat is based on Bible themes; it includes group conferences, private reflection, sharing and worhsip together. Specific needs of each different group receive attention during the weekend.
Both young adults and older retreatants tell us about the impact of the programs.
"We are all very touched and benefitted from your deep spirituality, the talks, the music and singing."
"On departing, we all reflected on the wonderful experience it had been, regretting that it could not have been longer, and looking forward to relating our experience and sharing our new-found peace with others. We left a closer-knit group."
Directed Retreats, which are personalized, are offered year-round. Spiritual Direction is an important dimension of ministry at Mt. Calvary. Priests, religious and laity avail themselves of on-going spiritual direction through regular visits. This reflective process helps each individual respond to Christ creatively by integrating life with personal prayer.
Recollection Days Mt. Calvary welcomes senior citizens each month for a day of recollection and fellowship. The fact that this group of men and women has been meeting monthly for almost nine years has lead to the growth of strong bonds of care for one another.
MBTI Many groups wishing to grow in understanding and communication skills choose a program which includes an experiences of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) for self-awareness.
"The participants found MBTI stimulating, revealing, and a source of deeper reflection on themselves and their interaction with others."
Bible Institute Each year several weekends are reserved for the Bible Institute. This special program provides a unique opportunity for Bible study through a process of immersion in particular books of the Bible under the direction of the "evangelist" or other author responsible for the original composition of the Scriptural book under consideration. We are encouraged very much by the appreciation expressed for this in-depth adult approach to Scripture.
"This weekend has helped me to look at the Bible in a new way. It has given me deeper understanding of the Gospels and the Book of Revelation. Now I know that I will be able to answer bible questions more confidently."
"I found the Bible Institute to be a very prayerful experience. Even familiar Gospel stories took on a deeper personal meaning for me. My prayer life will be enriched by it."
At various times, presenters are asked to conduct special programs at other locations in Jamaica and abroad. These "Programs on Wheels" extend the ministry of Mt. Calvary Retreat beyond its walls for the sake of some groups who cannot actually come to Mandeville. In this way, local church communities throughout Jamaica and overseas are helped in their own pastoral renewal and spiritual development.
Guest Lecturers In recent years, Mt. Calvary has also sponsored visits of distinguished lecturers, including Abbot Thomas Keating, O.C.S.O., and Passionists Rev. Donald Senior, Rev. Carroll Stuhlmueller and Rev. Paul Wadell. Their presentations in the fields of Centering Prayer, Scripture and Moral Theology were well received and have enabled Mt. Calvary to play a significant role in church renewal.

St. Paul of the Cross cherished a conviction that Passionists after him would carry on ecumenical ministry. Here at Mt. Calvary, the inspired prayer and hope of St. Paul of the Cross has constantly motivated our hospitality to Christians of many denominations who seek spiritual renewal within their own traditions. Throughout these past two decades, the bonds of spiritual fraternity have matured through retreats for clergy and laity, international conferences of ecumenical dialogue, episcopal synods, meetings of local ministers, and programs of interdenominational Bible study.
A glance at our record of ecumenical events over more than two decades includes a panorama of Anglicans, Methodists, Baptists, The United Church of Jamaica and Grand Cayman, The Church of God, The Holiness Church, The Church of the Nazarene, as well as other independent churches of Evangelical tradition.
Anglican Bishop William Murray speaks for many when he writes:
"We have come to look on Mt. Calvary as a second home. The retreat apostolate is a beautiful ecumenical effort for all of us to appreciate the faith we have in common, the ministerial hopes we share and the Christian love we possess.
Top of page
The gracious atmosphere which from its beginning has characterized Mt. Calvary is the lasting gift of the first Retreat Director, Fr. Martin Joseph Tooker, C.P. His example of service at table was a silent but convincing sermon about Christian service as the hallmark of discipleship. Fr. Martin served as Director from May 1973 to October, 1978. Fr. Thomas Brislin, C.P. ably took over direction until May 1980, when Fr. Martin again returned to Mt. Calvary.
In September 1985, Fr. Martin welcomed Sr. Bernadette Hughes, C.P. to the staff. Sr. Bernadette's background in retreat ministry and spiritual direction has provided more opportunities for directed retreats and other specialized programs. When Fr. Martin moved to Balaclava in February 1987, Fr. Paul Zilonka, C.P., professor of Sacred Scripture at St. Michael's Seminary in Kingston, joined Sr. Bernadette as Co-director. Since Fr. Paul's departure, Sr. Bernadette has served as Director. Passionist priests from the United States regularly participate with her in weekend retreats.

At Mt. Calvary, we never forget our absolute dependence on the free-will donations of our retreatants and other benefactors, both in Jamaica and abroad. We try to keep the retreat experience accessible to as many as possible. Given the extreme economic burden of Jamaica, we ask only a small stipend for a weekend program. Thanks to regular support of our Passionist Community and other personal donations, we go forward in faith, assured that God will provide for those who seek the face of the Lord.
The pine tree planted with great hope in 1973 has grown and prospered. While taller and stronger trees fell to the earth in the midst of Hurricane Gilbert in September 1988, our special tree on this hill was flexible enough to hold its ground.
As this tree matures, the hope that it symbolizes continues to shape our plans for the future of Mt. Calvary. God's fidelity in the past inspires lively faith as we walk forward together with the people of God.
"For this we toil and struggle, because we have set out hope on the living God, who is the savior of all, especially of those who believe. I Timothy 4:10
