Chris and the folks at Digial Ministry have stopped allowing people to register for their Facebook group just below the 1000 cutoff and have listed their reasons on their site. Interesting position. I personally don’t think Facebook groups are very useful at the moment. I find them incredibly difficult to monitor. It isn’t user friendly at all. All they have going for them is the incredibly viral nature of them. I suspect they will get better in the not-too-distant-future though.

h) Finally – and this is really the biggie… If we had put our brand and hard work on the line and invited ALL of our existing community members to go join the groups on Facebook… or spent marketing $ on promoting an application on your behalf.. without first finding out the above issues: Would we have made a big mistake that we may not recover from by handing you our users, budget and content? OR – would we find that in the end, we still have a large Knowledge IP advantage and back-up infrastructure over the new “Facebook click-and-build” barons who do not have this advantage of learning? We reckon the former.

Well it looks like Rupert has chosen – the Coalition will win the next federal election. And it’s straight out of The Godfather Part II. Remember when Tom Hagen ‘discovers’ Senator Geary with the dead hooker and offers to ‘help’? In Rudd’s case, one of Rupert’s stooges, New York Post editor Col Allan, took him out to a strip club in NY in 2003. And now that information has mysteriously made it into a Murdoch newspaper. A shame it didn’t come out BEFORE Rudd spoke to the Christian Lobby last week. Without News Corp’s backing, it’s going to be very difficult for Rudd in the run up to the election. The character assassination has already started. If he’s lucky, this is just a warning shot and he’ll realize he has to tow the line. I would love to know what it’s about. Didn’t Rudd meet with Rupert on his most recent trip to NY?

A ‘perfect gentleman’
Mr Allan (an employee of News Corporation, parent company of the publisher of NEWS.com.au) then confirmed he and the Opposition Leader had been to a “gentlemen’s club”.

Cait pointed to this on Twitter. There is some debate in the article about the interpretation of the data, and it isn’t the first time I’ve seen researchers claim to have broken the speed of light (I remember having an email conversation with Aussie physicist Paul Davies about the teleportation of an electron about 7 years ago) but just the very idea that the speed of light isn’t a fundamental barrier in physics could open up a lot of possibilities, especially for intergalactic travel… one day.
The two scientists say they have now tunneled photons “instantaneously” across a distance of up to one meter. Their conclusion, stated in a recent paper, is that the speed limit of special relativity has been violated. Dr. Nimtz claims quantum tunneling is a little understood process that is “the most important” aspect of quantum physics, one that may be responsible for the computational efficiency of the human brain. |

A few months ago I was on the phone to a friend of mine and said “The questions you ask yourself define your reality”. My friend then introduced me to the work of Dr John Demartini. A few things surprised me when I read the information on his website. The first was that he actually sounded a lot like me, so I knew he must be a good, highly intelligent guy.
The second surprise was that he was one of the people featured on “The Secret”. Now… you know what I think about that film. And there seemed to be a disconnect between the stuff I read on Demartini’s site and what I remember from the film (it’s been a year since I saw it).
Then, in a “synchronicity” moment (one of Demartini’s favourite words), Dr Peter Ellyard introduced me to author Liliane Grace (her podcast, based on her book “The Mastery Club“, will be starting on TPN soon) and who should have written the introduction to her book?? Dr John Demartini.
So I asked for an introduction, had my people call his people, and today I got to chat with him from his hotel in Seattle.
Listen to how he separates his work from the mumbo-jumbo of “The Secret” and his tips for figuring out how to get the most out of your life.
You can find out more about his books and seminars on his website (link) and you can get a free CD with more information on the “Demartini Method” by clicking on this link:
