It’s 2008 ! Make a new beginning… fill your heart with new hopes, reach out for new opportunities and celebrate the New Year

My dearest friend, I wish you peace
Throughout the coming year
May you have dreams that never cease
And moments filled with cheer
From dawn’s first light to evening’s close
I hope your heart will know
Beauty, like that found in a rose
And love that yearns to grow.My dearest friend, I wish you wealth
Regardless of its form
I pray that you’ll have perfect health
While staying safe and warm
May every path you choose to stride
Be one without a test
But, should you find your spirit tried
For you, I hope the best. My dearest friend, I wish you well
Throughout the year, anew
May good luck cast a hopeful spell
O’er everything you do
So, come December’s bitter end
You’ll have all that you need
Best wishes for the New Year, friend
Where’er your roads shall lead.© 2007 – Jill Eisnaugle’s Poetry Collection

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 FOR EVERYONE

Sore 25 Desember 2007, kami mengikuti bus gereja GBI untuk menuju ke Gelora Bung Karno untuk merayakan natal bersama. Keadaan langit sore itu betul-betul buruk dan bakalan turun hujan. Setiap orang sudah berdoa dalam hati untuk berharap tidak turun hujan. Acaranya dimulai pukul 17.00 namun jam di tangan masih menunjukkan pukul 15.00. Maklumlah rombongan bus datang pertama pulang belakangan. Sejak di pintu masuk kami ditahan karena datangnya kecepatan padahal orang-orang yang tidak menggunakan bus juga sudah pada berdatangan. Akhirnya mencari gerbang lain dan didapat sektor 23 bebas masuk alias tidak ditahan

Akhirnya kami masuk duduk di tempat paling strategis, dimana sebelumnya memperoleh 2 batang lilin, agenda bacaan alkitab setahun da roti-aqua. Tiba-tiba langit sangat mendung dan akhirnya turunlah hujan. Namun pas pukul 17.00 terjadi mujizat langit menjadi cerah, namun setengah jam kemudian gerimis kmbali dan setengah jam kemudian menjadi cerah

Acara dimulai sangat lambat karena sound system dan pangung basah. Akhirnya song leader memanjatkan pujian tanpa diiringi musik. Namun acara dan suasana langsung naik dan gempitaoleh pujian kepada Dia. Doa pembuka dilanjutkan pembukaan oleh gubernur Jakarta Fauzi Bowo.

Kemudian dilanjutkan dengan acara konser gembala sidang Hadiratmu membawa Kesembuhan. Sebuah album yang baru dikeluarkan oleh Ir. Niko N. setelah hampir 10 tahun vakum dalam hal rekaman. Seluruh uang hasil album tersebut disumbangkan untuk pembangunan rumah doa Sentul Convention Center.

Selama acara sudah terdapat beberapa mujizat dimana orang-orang disembuhkan dari penyakit2nya yang berkumpul di dekat pangung. Acara kemudian diikuti dengan candle night yang sangat dinanti-nantikan. Selanjutnya para jemaat berebut pulang

Dalam usaha pencarian bus yang mengantar kami cukup sulit ditambah banyak nya orang yang keluar dari Gelora Bung Karno tempa kami beribadah natal bersama ini. Bus baru dapat bergerak sekitar pukul 22.30.

Akhirnya kami sampai di Gereja GBI Gading Batavia sekitar pukul 23.00. Dan nyampe i rumah sekitar pukul 23.00. Wow amazing grace, God is so good

Semoga Natal tahun 2007 membawa damai bagi kita semua dunia sehingga di tahun 2008 akan memperoleh masa depan yang penuh harapan dan berkat

Now it’s up to you to create a cool Joomla! component for you and the Joomla! community

So, you have discovered this great tool called Joomla and you want to try to make your own Joomla template huh? Well, I know how you feel and share your enthusiasm. After I discovered Joomla , it did not take long for me to switch and have a go at making my own Joomla templates.

At that time there were no tutorials around the web by google of course, so like others, I looked at the existing default templates for Joomla and started reverse engineering. Here, I will attempt to clearly layout the steps in creating a Joomla template so that you may have a nice resource that was not available when I got started. Well, what are we waiting for? Lets get started at the beginning, I find that is usually a good a place as any to get started.

First of all, lets talk about what a mambo template is. A mambo template defines the overall ‘look and feel’ of your Joomla website. Normally this includes things like, colors, header image, 2 or 3 column layout, footer etc. The template (index.php) works hand in hand with the CSS (template_css.css) to give you control over many things such as module placement, font colors, borders, hyperlink hover effects, and a gazillion other things that you will discover if you dig deeper.

There are many ways to go about creating/designing a Joomla template. In this guide, we will be creating a 100% width ‘autostretch’ 3 column table layout. The layout is 3 seperate 100% tables ’stacked’ vertically-the top table is for the header area, the middle table is for the mambo left, center and right columns, and the bottom table is for the footer area. Additionally, the middle table will contain a 3 column 100% nested table.

We will be using Dreamweaver to to the first phase of the layout and coding.
