Have a friend that does these sort of projects on a frequent basis (every few weeks) with his church. According to him, most of the folks are older, i.e. 30+, but on few occasions he has seen younger kids (teenagers) come along with their parents.

10-15 minutes for tree and shrubs over a week is fine (i.e. total, not everyday), anything over that is excessive, especially considering that we are going through a drought. You can start with the IRWD recommended watering schedule and adjust as necessary. The schedule can be found at...

@rkp, nice kitchen, it certainly is model home worthy!

I have friends that have tried option 2 and 3 and based on what I saw, here are a few comments. Take it for whatever its worth. Good idea, if your cabinet frames are good quality and solid and you just want a fresh look. But again, 18K for just new doors, hardware and molding seems a little...

+1 SGIP.

Put them up on Turkey Day, well wife made me put them up.

You are right about the flinging. It seems to work on YouTube and Netflix because you have to pair the device. Once that is done, you can fling things to the Fire Stick. Ditto on the sleep, I am noticing it more on the Fire Stick v/s the Chromecast.

Haven't tried the games yet, but not sure how much fire power this one has for a smooth experience. I'd think basic games should work fine, but games with intense graphics might not be truly "playable". You are right on, with this being a cheap option with remote for Netflix / Youtube at $20...

Played around with the Fire stick over the weekend. Here are my initial thoughts. Great little device if you are an Amazon household. It has your Amazon account auto-linked so you can start streaming Prime videos immediately. The remote is a nice little add-on so that you do not need any other...

I'm getting my shipment today. Will update once I have a chance to test and compare against Chromecast and Roku.

IC, I'm not sure if you are aware of missionary work in developing nations, including Africa. I have friends working these areas and they tell me stories of missionaries from various churches and different Christian denominations that want to convert people in believing in their "Jesus" before...

@IC, some questions - Just adding to what IHO said in a prior post, what of the people who are believers in God, but cannot decide on a faith, i.e. religion? What of Christian's that inter-marry with a Jew or person of any other religion (i.e. breaking one of the sacred 10 commandments)...

Anything can be written to prove after the fact by twisting timeline. This is exactly how psychics "know" everything, putting things generally and letting the person fill in the blanks. As you very well demonstrate, if you take any scripture / text literally it falls flat on it's head. This...

Based on your link, time scales for each day are vastly different. One day it is a few billion years, v/s another being just a few million years. This would be not hold out in any scientific publication. Popular doesn't real equal true. How are the Greek/Egyptians/Mayan belief's debunked?

In today's age, you are correct that morality can be taught and learned without religion. But when most ancient religions were invented there was no real concept of law. Most religions at their core define values to live by, e.g. the ten commandments. Most religions have the same fundamental...

Does the book of Genesis mention specific timelines without giving scales? Why is it that the concept of creation according to Abrahamic religions considered to be generally acceptable by most people, as opposed to views held by the ancient Greeks or Taoists or Egyptians or Hindus or the Maya...

Are you suggesting that it took God billions of years to create homo sapiens?

I think most people believe in a God / religion because of teachings at a young age, done mostly to teach morality. Unfortunately more times than not, teaching morality is done through fear (going to hell, etc.). This fear and the discouragement of questioning keeps most people religious. In...

But then it would defeat the purpose if you pick the wrong one, i.e. end up in hell.

Most intellectuals argue about the possibility given the probabilistic chance. If one thinks that life is special to earth and cannot exist anywhere else given the vastness of the unexplored universe or in fact our own solar system, one has to be an egoist. Some interesting links below about...
