Emerson, Bears pull off stunning comeback
Danny Emerson was ready, willing and able.
He was going to play.
He did a little bit more than just play, and so did his teammates.
Emerson's basket and free throw capped a 34-minute comeback and sparked Mercer to an 87-81 win Thursday night over Belmont in a men's A-Sun tournament game at the University Center.
Mercer (14-15) now faces Jacksonville in the semifinals at 9 p.m. today
Emerson pulled Mercer even, and Jeff Smith gave the Bears their first lead with a 3-pointer from the left side with 4:19 left in the game.
He countered two free throws with a power bucket off of Brandon Moore's feed for another three-point margin.
Emerson got Smith's free-throw miss, and that set up his own bucket off a lob from Smith, and the Bears led by six.
James Florence then went coast to coast after grabbing a bad pass, and the Bears led by eight with 1:35 left.
This time, Belmont had to work on the comeback, and Moore put a cap on it with a slam off of E.J. Kusnyer's feed with 1:06 left.
Ian Clark hit a 3-pointer, Florence lost the ball, and Kerron Johnson made two free throws to pull Belmont within 81-79 with 44.5 seconds left. Florence was fouled with no time coming off the clock, made one, and Jon House made it an 82-81 game with 29.3 seconds.
Florence then made both with 19 seconds left for an 84-81 lead. Belmont called time three seconds later, but junior guard Mark Hall tipped away an entry pass, and Smith was fouled with 7.5 seconds left and a three-point lead.
He made both foul shots, and the celebration began for one of Mercer's most improbable victories — against an opponent that has owned the Bears — in a long time.
A week after suffering an eye injury late in the Bears' 77-73 loss at Belmont, Emerson's status was publicly questionable, although few doubted that he would play.
The only sign that anything was wrong with Emerson was the pair of goggles he wore.
They offered no resistance to him grabbing Mercer's first five rebounds. He finished with 19 points and nine rebounds in 36 minutes..
Florence led Mercer with 24 points, while Smith had 16 and Moore 13.
A-Sun freshman of the year Ian Clark led Belmont with 19 points, and Drew Hanlen set a career best with four 3-pointers en route to 16 points.
It was a tense game. In the first half, Florence appeared to refuse assistance off the floor after being fouled hard. In the second half, Mercer head coach Bob Hoffman almost had to be restrained after an offensive foul call against Florence.
It was charged later after trailing by 10 points with 13:28 left in the game, Mercer walked off its own floor after its first A-Sun tournament win since 2003.
Mercer spent the game in a familiar position against Belmont: behind and struggling mightily to get even. The trend of Mercer-Belmont games going down to the wire seemed in jeopardy when the Bruins nailed their first five 3-pointers for a 12-point lead after the teams managed all of 10 points by the first media timeout at the 15:24 mark.
Mercer struggled to figure out how to attack on offense and guard on defense as the Bruins made eight of their first 12 shots.
Belmont entered with three games of 50 percent or better on 3-pointers: 56.3 against Middle Tennessee, 51.9 against East Tennessee State and 50 percent against Mercer a week earlier.
The Bruins cooled and the Bears warmed up.
The hosts were down 33-20 and had just finished an empty trip when Smith hit a turnaround in the lane. Then Mercer found the range with 3-pointers from Emerson and Florence, and suddenly Mercer was within 33-32 at the 4:39 mark.
Mercer couldn't get the momentum basket on offense or stop on defense, and the Bruins regained a two-possession lead and were on top 44-38 at halftime.
Belmont had cooled off to 8-of-17 on 3-pointers while Mercer was up to 50 percent on 3s and overall. A 3-for-8 first half from the free-throw line didn't help the Bears' cause.
Florence had 11 points and Emerson six rebounds at the break, but Belmont had a 22-17 rebounding edge.
Belmont reopened a double-digit lead less than three minutes into the second half, using only one 3-pointer to do so. The Bruins completely lost the touch from long range and went 2-for-12 on 3-pointers in the second half.
Mercer welcomed that, and made the Bruins pay for one of the Bears' most stirring wins in years.

Whoever said the term "beach body" is exclusively for women who are bikini clad beach beauties with golden skin and blonde hair? Men can certainly sport a manly and attractive beach body of their own; on that is healthy, fit, and good-looking. Unfortunately, the large gut, tone deprived arms, and double chin are certainly not going to win any man the coveted beach body. However, this physique is consistently becoming the norm and with it, many men are discovering they don't even know where to begin when they recognize a desire to change. If you are one of these men who want to lose the pounds and chisel your physique, you are certainly not alone in your endeavor. Here are some things you can do to acquire a beach body and gain health and happiness along the way.
Mold Your Mindset
If you aren't into changing wholeheartedly, noticing an effective difference in the way you look and feel will be extremely hard to come by. From the onset of your decision to proactively take control of your health, it is crucial that you mold your mindset to be one of determination and perseverance. There are certainly going to be some days that are harder than others and the feelings of giving up may start to set in. However, with a solid mindset and a resolve to change and become healthy, you can effectively battle these negative emotions.
Often, an effective way to do this is to identify the motivations you have for changing. Perhaps you are interested in making your debut in the dating pool and you want better chances at finding someone to spend the rest of your life with. Maybe you have a loved one who is struggling with diseases related to obesity or unhealthy habits. You could even be making changes because you have children and you want to be an example to them and you want to be able to be an active part of their lives. Identifying your driving motivation is perhaps the most effective thing you can do to begin molding your mindset.
Exercise, Move, and Exercise Some More
Exercise will make a significant difference in the changes you see in your image. Incorporating a combination of cardiovascular exercises and strength training will help create a balance to make sure every single part of your body is worked out and strengthened as a result. Here are some examples of exercises you may choose to do:
Strength Training:
Weight Lifting
Push Ups
Sit Ups
Doing exercises incorrectly could result in injury, so it is important to understand how to properly execute each exercise. Additionally, make sure you stretch before every workout to reduce strain on your muscles and bones. Personal trainers are professionals you may consider working with to develop a workout regimen that is unique to your age, weight, time constraints, and weight loss goals. Working with a trainer is also a way to get information about the exercises you are doing to make sure you are doing them the right way.
Eat Right, Not Ravenous
Going completely full-circle with your weight loss change requires healthy eating. This means eliminating the ravenous consumption habits and replacing them with conscious decision making when you are hungry. Often, people feel the need to eat until they are full. This usually results in feelings of lethargy and discomfort. Rather, learn to recognize when you are satisfied and make the conscious decision to stop eating. Additionally, learn what foods to incorporate into your diet to build your immune system, eliminate fat, and create a body that runs on natural sustenance and fuel that prolongs your life.
With an increased awareness of your physical appearance and a resolve to be proactive about your health and physique, you can achieve a beach body that makes you feel great about yourself and your habits. Shun the out-of-shape figure and celebrate your life by taking active measures to keep your body healthy and fit.

Breaking the SOUND barrier. Because there is NO you or them.
Through my NTU mentees, a journalist from TODAY came to knew about this project, and approached me to seek my inputs on questions he had about employment for deaf Singaporeans today.
Through my NTU mentees, a journalist from TODAY came to knew about this project, and approached me to seek my inputs on questions he had about employment for deaf Singaporeans today.
It has been several months since I rejoined Young ChangeMakers 2.0 at National Youth Council, as a YCM project curator aka mentor.
I am presently the YCM Project Mentor behind a group of enthusiastic undergraduates from Nanyang Technological University, Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information.
The team is planning a campaign, titled "Breaking the Sound Barrier", which hopes to help the deaf community in Singapore.
1 out of every 1,000 babies born in Singapore have severe or profound hearing loss, and the team found themselves being drawn to this issue and hence, would like to do something for the deaf Singaporeans.
The main partner of this project, Singapore Association of the Deaf (SADeaf) has served the deaf community for over 61 years. To the team, it has highlighted the problem of deaf Singaporeans having difficulty in searching and getting jobs despite having the same qualifications as others. As such, there is an increasing importance to help create an inclusive workplace environment for the deaf.
The objectives of this 7-month campaign are:
The key message here is; to break employment barriers for deaf Singaporeans – they can be valuable employees and excellent contributors to our workorce.
The deaf are just like you and me.
By supporting and dispensing advice to this project, I am indirectly helping similar Singaporeans like myself. Therefore, I stepped forward to be their mentor, offering help.
Presently the team is carrying out a survey to better understand the current situation.
I will be very grateful if you could help us to spread word about this online survey to people in your network connections, of whom you know who are managers, particularly Human Resource personnel, or anyone involved in the hiring procedures.
Responses are kept 100% confidential, and the information collated will be very helpful to this campaign.
Here is the Breaking the Sound Barrier – Online Survey
I hope you can assist us, in helping this group of Singaporeans, building a more inclusive Singapore.
Thank you very much! 🙂
Young ChangeMakers (YCM) is a flagship youth programme initiated by National Youth Council, Singapore in 2005. I am honoured to be invited onboard to be among the 39 youth panellists in the augural pioneer batch of YCM Youth Panel. Despite the fact that I am hearing-impaired. Served a maximum period of 2 terms. 1 term = 1 year. I was on the Youth Panel till 2007.
I am grateful to former YCM Secretariat staff, June Loh for believing in me, inviting me onboard. She kept reassuring me that things will turn out fine, and help is always available to me.
Our then YCM co-chairperson was Dr Benedict Tan Chi Loong, who was once a former Singapore national team sailor.
Coming from different backgrounds and having different expertise, we youth panellists review community projects done by fellow youths to determine who are the ones worthy to be given monetary funding. We also offer mentorship to successful grant applicants as well. We did it in a firm friendly yet professional manner.
This is where I get to open my eyes, seeing a great variety of interesting project ideas done by schooling youths as well as young working adults. Gained valuable experience and strengthened my leadership skills, which I could apply in my youth voluntary involvement with the People's Association Youth Movement (PAYM).
As pioneers, we were given the opportunity to define and refine YCM grant application criterias through friendly, open, non-judgemental discussions. I fought alongside with a fellow YCM youth panellist, Alex Tan, to allow PAYM YECs to be able to apply for YCM as an additional grant funding source for various community projects.
My sweetest memory was mentoring my first YCM project mentee who happened to be from my alma mater Yishun Town Secondary School! Along the way, I also gained a better understanding of what youth mentorship is all about.
I got to befriend a great bunch of friends in the Youth Panel. Although we may no longer be in YCM, many of us moved on continue to be a young changemaker in different areas today, championing different social causes or beliefs. Including myself. 🙂
YCM just did a recruitment exercise for a new batch of youth panellists for 2014, which has just ended on 16 February. It has also revamped its logo image as well. Which you just saw in the above photo.

Decades ago, stainless steel was considered a high-end option for food packaging equipment. But in recent years, sanitary washdown requirements in the global food processing and packaging industry have tightened. As a result, industry associations have established standards and directives to help manufacturers and their machine builders adhere to these tougher requirements.
For example, one of the American Meat Institute's "10 Principles of Sanitary Design" requires machine builders to design equipment with "compatible materials," meaning those that will stand up over time to high-pressure washdown cycles.
There is no question that stainless steel is the best material for withstanding caustic chemicals and high water pressure, making it a crucial element to food packaging machinery. Machine builders that incorporate stainless steel into machine designs will be able to better serve manufacturers that regard food safety and sanitary design with paramount importance.
Figure 1. FR Drake is the worldwide leader for automatic food-loading machinery in the frankfurter industry.
The challenge
With 90 percent of the worldwide market share, FR Drake is a clear leader for automatic food-loading machinery in the frankfurter industry. The Waynesboro, Va., company builds loading equipment that prepares individual frankfurters for packaging by lining them up in rows just before they enter a horizontal form fill and seal (HFFS) machine. Manufacturers look to FR Drake to help automate manual, hand-loading packaging processes with equipment that can help boost production reliability and integrity.
FR Drake engineers have always been proactive about meeting their customers' needs, including the need for sanitary machines that can tolerate rigorous and frequent machine washdowns. Since standard servo motors cannot withstand high-pressure, caustic washdown processes, FR Drake engineers historically addressed the situation by building stainless-steel covers in an effort to protect the motors.
Unfortunately, food particles often would catch and collect on seams and rivets surrounding the housing. Also, washdown fluids would eventually work their way into the housing and make contact with the motor. Finally, the caustic chemicals would damage the point where cables connect to the motors, and potentially corrode the housing itself.
Even with a stainless-steel housing, standard servo motors typically last only five to seven years in a rigorous washdown application. Because each FR Drake frankfurter loader uses four servo motors, end-users of the machinery could potentially find themselves replacing a motor once every two years.
"The stainless-steel covers we were building helped increase the longevity of the servo motors, but not to the extent that we wanted for our customers," said George Reed, vice president of engineering for FR Drake. "We identified a few characteristics of the motor housing that, if remedied, could further improve the reliability of our machinery."
Since a typical FR Drake frankfurter loading machine is in the field for many years, Reed and his team decided to find a motor solution that could withstand the life cycle of the machinery.
Figure 2. Pictured here, stainless-steel servo motors help improve machine cleanliness and performance.
FR Drake turned to its longtime automation solutions provider, Rockwell Automation, for a new option. A few years ago, FR Drake engineers attended the Automation Fair event hosted by Rockwell Automation to discuss the problem their food-manufacturing customers faced and the type of motor solution they were seeking. Based on input from FR Drake and other machine builders, Rockwell Automation brought the Allen-Bradley MP-Series stainless-steel servo motor to market to help manufacturers in the food industry improve hygienic machine design.
The motors feature a smooth, round design that is ideal for cleaning because it provides a surface area where meat and liquids cannot easily collect. The motor is comprised of 300-grade stainless steel, which goes through special processing after component fabrication to remove impurities and promote greater corrosion protection. Additionally, the motors have factory-sealed cable exits that help maximize product reliability.
Just like standard servo motors from Rockwell Automation, the MP-Series stainless-steel motors are part of the company's Allen-Bradley Kinetix Integrated Motion portfolio. As the motion control component of the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture system, Kinetix features the seamless integration of Logix controllers, servo drives, servo motors and actuators.
"Updating our machinery with the MP-Series stainless-steel motor was a very simple and straightforward retrofit," said Reed. "Since we already were standardized on the Integrated Architecture system, and because these motors come in the same form factor, torque and programming language as other Allen-Bradley servo motors, it was a virtual drop-in replacement for the motors we were using."
FR Drake's machinery architecture also includes an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix programmable automation controller (PAC), an Allen-Bradley industrial computer, and FactoryTalk View Machine Edition human-machine interface software that all work together to provide improved machine performance information.
Helping to round out the integrity of the machine – particularly for international markets where CE-certified equipment is mandated by law – FR Drake incorporated advanced safety controls from Rockwell Automation. Engineers implemented Allen-Bradley SensaGuard Safety Sensors and Allen-Bradley Guardmaster safety relays to help operators more safely access areas of the machine where there is motion.
The results
The MP-Series stainless-steel motors allowed FR Drake to eliminate the design time and costs required for building the extra protective housing unit.
Subsequently, the improved reliability of FR Drake's loading equipment has reduced the number of warranty requests the company receives, and has reduced the amount of motor maintenance the company must provide for customers. In fact, in the first two years of using the MP-Series stainless-steel motors, FR Drake personnel have not been called for a single field service issue, and the company is currently working toward making the motors standard on all of its loader machinery.
Finally, because of the CE certification of Rockwell Automation safety controls, and because manufacturers around the world have a high level of familiarity with the Logix Control Platform and Integrated Architecture system, FR Drake can continue building business in international markets, which comprise 75 percent of the company's business.
The results mentioned above are specific to FR Drake's use of Rockwell Automation products and services in conjunction with other products. Specific results may vary for other customers.

Anna and Samantha Martin just landed the biggest deal ever on Dragons Den! It was the first time in Dragons Den history that all five judges teamed up to invest in a product! Viewers were shocked when the panel of investors began a heated debate over who would get to invest in the Martin sisters' groundbreaking new hair product. Ultimately, they decided to join forces and invest in it as a team.
"We didn't know that we would get any deal. If anything, we just wanted business advice! It was shocking when all of the judges decided to invest in ," Anna said.
The judges were amazed by all the benefits that has to offer:
- Creates fuller, thicker hair
- Stimulates hair growth
- Encourages shiny, healthy hair
- Repairs damaged hair
- Prevents hair loss
- Uses all-natural ingredients
- FDA approved
"We're so thankful that the judges saw what has to offer. We can't wait to see where it goes from here!" Samantha said.
What is the Dragons Den Hair Growth Product?
The Martin sisters' product is the first ever to receive a standing ovation from all five judges! The Dragons were thrilled with their investment and have been working with the Martin sisters to re-brand and re-package . Now it's ready for a global launch!
"We decided to sell it on the company website first, and it sold out within minutes! I thought we had more than enough in stock, but it was gone so quickly!" Anna explains. "We'll definitely have more supply when we launch it globally, now that we know how high the demand is!"
Why Did The Dragons Den Hair Growth Aid Net The Biggest Investment in Dragons Den History?
Thanks to Instagram and the Social Media World, as a woman in today's world we're constantly focusing on how we look. How others look. And if you're down in Dixie somewhere, you're likely not going to head to the grocery store without looking your best. The time it takes for us to not only get ready, but to feel our best takes a lot of time. A. LOT.
The cost and time it takes to get ready is a lot. A full beauty routine combined with styling hair? Let's say an hour or two, if we're being generous. You better believe we're all for trying something that cuts down not only our getting-ready-time, but also cuts our cosmetic costs!
Even though endless hair products have hit our shelves before, is like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The products we've tried over the years start off wonderful (remember that honeymoon period?) but the results would fade, and so would our appreciation for them. This product, on the other hand, is like the secret sauce for healthy, shiny hair.
What's in this 'Secret Sauce' to the Hair Growth Product on Dragons Den?
The Martin sisters described as containing vitamins and nutrients essential for fabulous hair. Containing a potent blend of these nourishing ingredients, the product improves texture, volume, and even length.
Although hasn't been launched globally until now, women who tried it in the clinical trials were happy with their results. Call 'em converts, but the women who tested this product out saw dramatic improvements in their hair. Even over their old favorite products.
Needless to say, our attention was piqued. It's time to call on our willing victim who volunteered to try out.
We Put The Dragons Den Hair Growth Aid Product to the Test:
Melissa is super busy, running all over the city for her consulting meetings. When she's not slaving away with us, she's managing other employees and juggling a full schedule. It's safe to say that's a tiring endeavor, especially since she hits the gym first thing in the morning.
It's hard to be superwoman, just ask Melissa. She was about an inch away from hacking off her hair in order to cut down her styling time, but fortunately this product caught her before she could.
Melissa was sick of split ends, fading color, frazzled strands, and dry hair. Nothing she'd tried (and we get a lot of samples!) seemed to work. And while Keratin treatments are an incredible idea, they're also incredibly expensive.
No thanks.
But thank you to Melissa, who tracked her hair for a full month of using this product.
Melissa's Hair Growth Report after using for at least 28 days:
Day One:
Skeptical doesn't begin to cut it, but I've tried everything out there from Pinterest DIY masks to prescription medication that supports healthy hair. I know, sounds like a lot. But the medication wasn't really worth the cost or side effects. Can't hurt to try this for free for a few weeks. Here's to hoping for healthier hair!
Day 14:
Since I started taking , my hair has actually grown. I'm still skeptical that it's grown, but you can't deny it when your hair is hanging past your shoulders for the first time in a while. I've been super hesitant to grow it out because my hair never stays healthy, but I have to hand it to the Martin sisters: I'm starting to be a believer.
What's more is there isn't the sad evidence of aging hair in my shower anymore. I'm seeing less and less breakage.
Day 21:
Okay, here comes the fandom review: I'm obsessed. My hair has grown, but it's also shiner and stronger. Finally, I'm safe from gnarly split ends! The ends of my hair feel thicker and less brittle and for some reason, my skin seems to be a little healthier. Hey, if Biotin works for both skin and hair, must too.
Day 28:
Everyone has complimented me on my hair. This included my male coworkers who typically couldn't tell you the difference between a hair cut and a wig. has certainly changed my hair care routine, my styling time, and even the overall health of my hair. It's safe to say I'm a convert, too.
Super glad I volunteered for this trial!
Our Final Verdict:
Thanks to Melissa, we've got a great demonstration of why the Martin sisters' product has such rave reviews.
We know there's a lot of scams out there, and gimmicks on the market to make you feel like you've made a big change. Hey, we'd buy it, too. So, we'll challenge you to do the same: try it out for yourself. There's nothing better than personal proof.
After victimizing Melissa with beautiful hair, we're on the same page as the Sharks who funded the project. So many people battle with hair loss, brittle hair, and or the inability to grow it past a certain point. The sisters' expertise and innovation is promising in preventing hair loss for other women.
We're in the business of convenience, so we're working to get a trial of for our readers, too. Time is of the essence. Don't miss this special introduction to the next big beauty product hit – try it for yourself!IMPORTANT: *We have tested both products together, so It is important that you use Step 1 and Step 2 in this method to achieve similar results.

But what about the actions and behaviors that precede and are necessary to attaining the inversion? In this two-hour workshop, we will explore the journey to rather then the destination of standing on your hands. The workshop will begin with a Blue Light flow specifically designed to prepare you (physically and mentally) to find or evolve your adho mukha vrksasana (handstand). The workshop will include intelligent sequencing, strength building exercises and space for discussion around personal injuries/challenges and/or resistance/fear.

I'm no novice when it comes to weeks of intense training courses; as a resident advisor and desk clerk staff member for several years at USF I went through everything from suicide prevention training and first aid, to peer mediation and conflict resolution. However, nothing has come quite close to the training I've been receiving as a 'volunteer' with the National Forest Service. See, although I am employed with the non-profit SCS or the 'Sitka Conservation Society', Natalia and I are both living free of charge in a Forest Service bunkhouse and are thus required to train and work with the Forest Service as well. SCS and the Forest Service collaborate on a number of projects including predominately wilderness expeditions to remote areas in Southeast Alaska. Because Natalia and I will have the opportunity to tag along on many different expeditions and projects we have been put through the ringer for training.
We will be receiving ATV training, Wilderness First Aid Response training, Bear training, Aviation training, Radio, and HazMat First Response training over the next few days and have already participated in Sea/shore survival training (Yes, we got to float around a pool in Survival Suits), Shot off flares and put out fires on a beautiful turn-out next to a harbor surrounded by uninhabited gorgeous mountains, learned more about the boats we will be traveling in, and my personal favorite- P.I.G. Training. Dug Jenson has been our predominate teacher and his enthusiasm and expertise are untouchable. I've learned SOO incredibly much over the past few days that I've been noticably walking taller (or maybe that's because I'm now sleeping in a bed instead of curled up in the cab of a truck). Regardless, both Dug and his wife are amazing and train both NOAA Core (hey Kevin) and the Coast Guard.
Okay, so more about P.I.G. training. Perhaps to your dismay: No, we are not wrestling wild boars. Natalia and I were trained for the crash landing of small planes over freezing Alaskan water. I actually forget now what PIG stands for but I recall it not doing a very good job at describing the activity anyways so, no big loss. Anywho, so perhaps you are thinking- maybe that's overkill, how often are planes crashing in Alaska. Well one scary statistic- of 100 Alaskan pilots, about 11 will die over the course of a 30-year career due to crashes. If a car accident happens in Alaska every 4 days, a plane crash happens every 9- so best be prepared! Good news- only 11% die from the impact of a water landing... the rest drown. This certification is thus incredibly valuable and I really believe has helped me better prepare for, and accept the reality of such a crisis situation. It will also be fun to add to my resume.
So, how does the simulation work? We were strapped into a plastic frame with a 5-way seatbelt and flipped backwards and forwards into a pool at varying speeds and with the additional obstacle of surprise blocked exists. It was actually more difficult than the picture does justice. To be totally flipped upside down and backwards, getting water shot up the nose, an inability to see through the splash, and the claustraphobia of being completely strapped into a seat on impact was at best- uncomfortable as hell. By the 4th go I really felt calm, collected and could maneuver out of the torture device with at least a little grace.
Overall, the past week of training with the Forest Service has brought the risk of working in remote Alaska to a strong reality; death in the field of South East Alaska is far from uncommon. Not to say I have not been a safe and serious backpacker or fieldworker but this week has certainly improved my understanding of and I'm now doing a lot more reading, preparation, and memorization before getting into the field. Since I am no longer huffing and puffing about 15 feet behind Mister Army Ranger (Hey Justen) on my backpacking excursions, it helps to be a bit more self-motivated and prepared.
Okay, so I don't have internet where I live (I'm at a beautiful library right now) and I'm so crunched for time, but I do want to mention a little about the bits and pieces spent with SCS this week. We were taken out on a wilderness crusie expedition last night and boated around checking out whales, rafts of otters, beautiful islands, caves, and coves- incredibly awesome. That white capped peak you see in a bunch of photos up top is actually Mt. Edgecumbe- Sitka's neighboring volcano. Our supervisor, Natalie, and I should be heading for a little backpacking trip to the island Kruzof where the volcano lives. Today for lunch, Natalia and I left training to enjoy one of the famous 'Fish to Schools' lunches supported by local fishermen and SCS at the local middle school. I've been receiving lots of training on the video editing software and other tech-related work with Ben Hamilton, an excellent film maker who is in Sitka for just a few days. You can check out some of his work here: http://www.pioneervideography.com/
Oh, and I sleep a little too.
BAH, the library is closing and I didn't even have time to check for typos- so forgive me if this sounds too stream of consciousness/drags on/is infested by typos.

The Best Thinking Spot
Sometime between baking in the hot Arubian sun and floating in the clear blue Caribbean ocean, I realized that the beach is the best place to think.
I guess it's possible that this might have crossed your mind once or twice, but when I'm on the beach I tend to get caught up in everything around me, and forget that just thinking about everything can actually be fun. Even though it's totally necessary to clear your head every once in a while, have you ever tried to just picture your future, or imagine yourself doing the thing you love? Next time your on the beach, or in any quiet place, visualize yourself reaching a goal that you have or even just visualizing anything that you want in life. Who knows, it might come true one day. (And that day might be sooner than you think)

Soul Cards are similar to Oracle Cards in that they can provide a sense of guidance for the day ahead. Many also refer to them as their mini vision boards.
The purpose of these little cards is to cultivate a sense of inspiration, whether for a yoga flow if you are a teacher; or for something you'd wish to bring more of into your life; or simply a gentle daily reminder to keep at your desk or altar.
Cutting, ripping paper, collaging - these are all very movement-based meditation practices. Incorporate that with a group of like-minded souls, fresh tea, a homemade playlist, the last sliver of new moon energy, and a sacred space and we've got ourselves an inspiring evening!
We will start this two-hour creative evening with a short guided mantra meditation and move into creating and crafting. We'll discuss the potency of the law of attraction, and how when our Anja (third eye / brow chakra) is balanced, creative inspiration can flow in effortlessly.
Please Bring: magazines for tearing out pictures, photos, quotes, poems, or anything you'd like to adorn your soul cards with. The rest (3 cards per person, glue, scissors and the like) will be provided for you.
Date: Friday, August 5th, 2016
Time: 6:30-8:30p
Location: Yoga Mandali, 454 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY
Cost: $40
Please Note:
Space is limited for this event, so please be sure to sign up in advance to secure your spot.

Accommodation and Fees in Costa Rica
We encourage all volunteers to stay as long as possible to maximize local and personal benefit. Minimum stay is 1 week, maximum is 12 weeks.
You will live with a Costa Rican family near the center of town. They will cook all of your meals for you and can adapt based on your dietary preferences. Staying with a family is a great way to learn about Costa Rican culture, eat typical food, and practice your Spanish!
Please note that as El Jobo is located in the tropics, there are mosquitoes and bugs all year around and temperature can reach at least 90°F with no air conditioning.
Participation Fee
Costa Rica: $700 first week, $500 every week thereafter.
The program fee is necessary to cover your cost of living and logistics. Discounts are available for partners and families.
Our overhead is covered by other means, and thus, 100% of any funds that exceed your direct cost will go towards the project you participated in.
What's Included
Cost includes food, full room and board, permits, visas, local coordination and training at respective facility, local transport, full access to our facilities, etc.—everything minus personal expenses, your airfare to Costa Rica, and transportation to El Jobo
To book you need to pay a refundable Reservation Deposit. Read our refund policy.
The deposit is deducted from your total program fee.
The Town of El Jobo
El Jobo is a small community of 700 people that runs on the activities of the local fisheries. The town is located on the Punta Descartes Peninsula, in the North Pacific corner of Costa Rica, close to the Nicaraguan border.
The emerging local tourism sector in El Jobo is still very young, with one large resort on the outskirts of town. A main street lined with small, single-family homes runs through the center of town, and there are three small supermarkets ("pulperías"), that sell essential items. The closest city—where you'll find banks, large supermarkets, shops, and clinics—is La Cruz, about a 40-minute bus ride from El Jobo.
As an IOI Costa Rica volunteer, you will spend most of your time on the stunning beaches near El Jobo, as well as in the town itself. Please keep in mind that El Jobo is a rural developing community so do not expect to find amenities (like air conditioning!) as you might in your hometown.
Your Homestay
During your time in El Jobo, you will have homestay accommodations near the center of town. You will have your own room (or, you will share with your partner/friend) in the home of a Costa Rican family.
The houses have electricity, running water, and WiFi, and the bathroom is shared. Sheets and towels are provided for you at the house, and your family can do laundry for you when necessary. There is no air-conditioning, but every room has a fan. Your homestay family will cook all of your meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). The food is typical Costa Rican cuisine, and can be adapted to your dietary restrictions.
Homestay families are actively involved with IOI, and often collaborate on projects, so they are familiar with your volunteer activities.
This a unique opportunity that facilitates the interchange of culture, language, and tradition with the goal of providing a memorable experience for you, and your homestay family!

Town Meeting rejected a proposal that selectmen be barred from simultaneously serving on the town's top board and in Town Meeting, arguing no resident should be prevented from being heard.
Town Meeting rejected a proposal that selectmen be barred from simultaneously serving on the town's top board and in Town Meeting, arguing no resident should be prevented from being heard.
The resident who brought the original Article 34 to the floor was Bruce Snow of Precinct 5. Snow said the core of his article was keeping a separation of powers between the town's legislative and executive branch.
"This is fundamental," Snow said. "When we have separation, we have the ability to create democratic checks and balances. Town Meeting should create a check, or independent oversight of the Board of Selectmen."
Snow said selectmen's opinions hold undue weight on the rest of Town Meeting members.
"We're creating a consolidation of too much power in the hands of the few," Snow said. "They have an inordinate amount of influence here."
Snow said it had been the tradition in town for years that selectmen resign from their Town Meeting seats once elected to the executive board.
"That tradition, of late, has been blatantly ignored," he said. "Obviously, precedent hasn't been enough, and we need to put our tradition in writing. Do we really want the selectmen to attempt to dominate our discussion?"
Snow's motion saw significant opposition from the body.
The Finance Committee suggested referral of the article, but member Richard Sidney moved that the article be indefinitely postponed.
"Referral means there is a germ of a good idea here," he said. "I don't think this is a good idea."
"I find this article antithetical to the spirit of Town Meeting," Sidney said. "I think we should allow any citizen of the town to run for Town Meeting. This body has been independent for years, and that's a great thing."
Sue Salamoff offered a motion to create a seven-person committee after the 2013 spring Town Meeting to study how the town's legislative branch is working overall, including the role of the selectmen.
"We continue to grapple with how to get more residents to run for and participate in Town Meeting," Salamoff said. "If we eliminate the selectmen's right to run for Town Meeting, they would be the only voter in town that cannot run for Town Meeting. If we are going to look at this issue, it should be looked at as the dynamic of Town Meeting's role itself, and the selectmen's role itself."
Salamoff's motion met a good deal of support on the floor, but it ultimately failed, 52-57.
Selectmen Chairman Paul Joseph, who had held both seats simultaneously until resigning before the start of this Town Meeting, said selectmen are not some political entity looking to consolidate power but rather are concerned citizens who put in a lot of time on town issues.
"This is a commitment of a lot of time and passion as citizens of this community, and not as entity or form of government," he said.
Joseph said Town Meeting often hears articles created by the Planning Board, School Committee and other residents and it wouldn't be right to block five people elected by their peers from voting on those issues.
"I personally find that the main motion is not acceptable," he said.

Read our Auckland posting first.
Around 350km from Auckland lies the Tongariro National Park. The park is home to a number of volcanoes which have erupted as recently as 2007. It also has waterfalls, steam vents and lots of beautiful forests. On Wednesday, we 'tramped' (as they call walking here) to the Tama Lakes, created by explosive volcanic eruptions.
The park is a setting for one of NZ's most famous walks, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. We walked part of it on Thursday, on our way up Mount Ngauruhoe (2,287m) a.k.a. Mount Doom in the 'Lord of the Rings'. We met a lot of people on the mountain doing Smeagol impressions and asking us if we were going to throw the ring into the crater. Makes you wonder how many people have actually done that...
We camped in a Department of Conservation (DOC) camp site in the park, surrounded by trees, heather and grasses. The DOC provides an abundance of camp sites in wonderful locations, their standard varying from basic to serviced. The basic camp sites are free and the serviced ones are pretty cheap too.
On the camp site, we met a lovely family from Montreal, Canada, who are also travelling round the world for a year. Patricia, Jean-François and their children Evelyne, Naomi and Julien, had lots of interesting stories (and tasty red wine) to share in the campers' kitchen. On Friday morning, we woke up to torrential rain and rapidly rising water levels in the stream. After sharing some coffee, we all abandoned camp and started driving towards Wellington in the hope of some shelter from the rain. It certainly made us feel like we were in Scotland again!
Our friend St John joins us in Christchurch on Tuesday so we're catching the ferry to the South Island tomorrow morning (Sunday). St John, from Edinburgh, should be quite at home here with the current weather.

This article on Moby Dick from the New Yorker got me thinking of classic novels I've never been able to finish, Moby Dick being perhaps first and foremost among them. I found it impossibly dense and turgid, the prose style convoluted and confusing, and it just failed to keep my interest.
War and Peace is another classic that's defeated me. I've started it at least four times and never gotten past page 20. That's probably as far as I got in Pride and Prejudice, too. I forced myself to read Crime and Punishment all the way through, but I'll be damned if I remember much about it or got anything out of it. The only way I got through Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks was by skimming it and concentrating almost exclusively on the dialogue.
There's a certain pattern here -- I obviously have a problem with the 19th century (I count Buddenbrooks there, even though it was published in 1901), and it doesn't help if a book is long. (On the other hand, I love Dickens and Wuthering Heights -- it really is "the strangest love story every told" -- and I did read every word of Finnegan's Wake, though I now consider that to have been a colossal waste of time.)
I can think of other classics that failed to move me: The Aeneid, The Great Gatsby (which I have read three times, trying to get what everyone else gets about it), Henderson the Rain King (long!), A Passage to India. There doesn't seem to be a pattern after all.
It used to bother me that I couldn't get interested in these books. After all, they're classics, great works of literature. If I didn't get them, what did that say about me and my lack of intellectual heft?
I don't worry about it anymore. The infinite combining and recombining of DNA within our species results in an infinite number of individuals, each with sensibilities and tastes that set him or her apart. The womb is a sort of aesthetic Thunderdome -- no two individuals emerge from it the same.
What famous novel do you find insufferable?

The date for my food stamp card to be charged came so fast; one minute I had to wait 12 days, the next thing I knew, I was waking up at 6 PM Thursday, farting around the apartment and then arriving in the Quarter at 10:30 PM, with just an hour and a half to wait before I could go into Rouses Market and stock up.
20 Dollar Thursday
I started playing at around 11 PM, trying to be vigilant of the clock and make it to Rouses before 1 AM, when they closed.
I had a group come by and request "Wonderwall," by Oasis.
"I totally need to sit down and learn this song; you are about the 12th group that has requested it; It seems like young people from Great Britain, or Ireland or somewhere over there (Wales, Scotland?) idolize that group, as if they truly fit the description of themselves in Rolling Stone magazine (or somewhere I read it) of being the new Beatles."
I played the thing as well as I knew it; at least giving them the chorus chords "...and after all; you're my Wonderwall!!...." and I got two 5 dollar bills to go along with a few singles already in there.
Another guy came along and said: "Wish You Were Here?" and I realized that it was fast becoming The Night When People Request Songs That You Have Been Meaning To Learn Better For A Long Time Now.
I did my best to sound out Wish You Were Here (by Pink Floyd) and got another clump of one dollar bills from him.
Then arrived a lady whom I hadn't seen in 2 years. She was renting the place over my left shoulder and next door to Lilly whom is feuding with the owner of in a Hatrocks and McCoys fashion.
She has a daughter named "Carly." I remembered the name of the girl.
The girl looked smaller than she had been 2 years ago and was being pushed in a stroller.
"Wait a minute, I thought Carly was like, 11 years old a couple years ago," I said in reference to her stature. It occurred to me that she might be suffering from some kind of disease, but didn't want to avoid the issue. People with terminal illnesses think about almost nothing else, I imagine, and to just make small talk about the Mardi Gras parades would probably make for a meaningless encounter.
The mother said that Carly looked forward to seeing/hearing me more than anything else during their pilgrimage to New Orleans; kind of like the way I looked forward to seeing my grandfathers chickens in his coop during our annual treks to Vermont when I was a kid, I guess. (I don't elevate myself above chickens).
I can only think that it might be from when I was improvising some lyrics that might have resonated with the girl.
I was up to about 20 dollars. The mother and another couple ladies and Carly finally got through the gate of the place after having trouble with the keypad and she (the mother) said that she needed to get Carly in out of the cold, but would come back out and smoke a cigarette with me.
I decided to play longer, even though my watch said: 12:36 PM, with Rouses closing in another 24 minutes.
Then along came a young black kid who said he was trying to get rid of some weed, and some liquor and only needed 4 dollars.
I told him that I hadn't drank in 33 days.
"But you smoke bud?"
"Yeah, I guess..."
It should have been a red flag that he had weed AND liquor -kind of covering all bases to make sure he could entice me into something... It was actually while he was ostensibly wrapping a bit of bud in plastic that the "Wish You Were Here" guy came along and sang along and then left me exactly 4 dollars as a tip.
He may have overheard the young black kid whom I will never forget the appearance of, because he could have been Dorise Blackmon's fraternal twin brother.
I tore open the sack to discover cigarette tobacco inside; this after he had thanked me profusely for the 4 dollars and even had shaken my hand and wished me a good night. "Make a lot of money," he said as he walked down Bourbon.
I don't know how "these" people think, but, in his mind he might have not felt like a thief at all, rather someone who is just another player in some cosmic type game. He probably saw the 4 dollars go into my tip jar and thought: "The guy threw him 4 bucks because of me standing there; he saw me hanging out and decided to come check out what was going on; and so that money was really mine to begin with..." But, again...I don't know how "these" people think....
I guess it served me right for desiring weed, after having declined the liquor. If I would have said, "Sorry, I don't drink nor smoke nor swear," then he would have tipped his hand should he have went on to enquire: "Well, what do you do? (what can I rip you off on, surely there must be something..)
I could almost wonder if it was a spirit coming to me, the same one that has inhabited Dorise since she kicked heroin like 25 years ago and has been a non smoker non drinker ever since; kind of like the ghosts of Christmas in the Dickens work..."You've 33 days without a drop of alcohol, Daniel. Now you need to quit weed to come to the next level with Tanya and I. I will make it easy for you; I'll rip you off for 4 bucks so that you will certainly not kick in another 5 for a sack when you get to Canal Street, because that would amount to spending 9 bucks on weed when you only made 20 bucks and you are too cheap to abide that, Daniel..."
The spirit of Dorise....
Well, the security guy hasn't come yet, but I am not going to press my luck and have him standing there impatiently as Blogger tells us "Uploading, please wait..."
Tonight, Friday, it is about as cold as last night when Carly needed to be whisked inside, but it is closer to Fat Tuesday, is a weekend night and there are a few parades going on. I should see traffic at the Lilly Pad.

Feb 27 (Reuters) - Gold prices held firm on Monday near 3-1/2-month highs hit in the previous session as investors await more clarity on President Donald Trump's economic policy. FUNDAMENTALS * Spot gold was little changed at $1,256.61 per ounce at 0034 GMT. The metal hit its highest since Nov. 11 at $1,260.10 in the previous session. * U.S. gold futures were also steady at $1,257.70. * Investors are looking towards U.S. President Donald Trump's policy speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night where he is expected to provide clues on his plans to cut taxes. * New U.S. single-family home sales rose less than expected in January, likely held back by heavy rains and flooding in California, but continued to point to a strengthening housing market despite higher prices and mortgage rates. * Worldwide sovereign debt is set to reach a new record high of $44 trillion this year despite a slight reduction in governments' annual borrowings, an estimate from credit ratings agency S&P Global said on Friday. * Hedge funds and money managers raised their net long position in COMEX gold to the highest in nearly three months during the week to Feb. 21. Speculators raised their net long position in bullion by 14,482 to 82,464 lots. * Gold demand in Asia remained sluggish this week as a price rally on political concerns and dollar weakness kept buyers on the sidelines. * The rise in world stocks last week to fresh all-time highs drew an eighth straight weekly inflow into equity funds, Bank of America Merrill Lynch said on Friday, while bond funds also chalked up their ninth straight weekly inflow. * Greece's central bank governor warned on Friday that "uncertainty" could hobble the country's economic recovery if the government and its lenders do not conclude a bailout review soon. * Australian gold output hit a 17-year high of 298 tonnes in 2016 as higher bullion prices drove mining companies to dig deeper, a sector survey released on Sunday showed. * Greece's central bank said on Saturday it held 149.1 tonnes of gold reserves at the end of December worth 5.26 billion euros ($5.55 billion), with about half kept in its vaults and the rest stored abroad. * Holdings of the largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, New York's SPDR Gold Trust , have risen more than 5 percent this month on geopolitical risk.

Sex Is Cheap: Why young men have the upper hand in bed, even when they're failing in life.
She then asked, "What are we (as women) supposed to do?"
She then asked, "What are we (as women) supposed to do?"
Fuck if i know. My initial thoughts after reading this:
- Why is the rise the women leading to the downfall in men?
- Why can't men and women evolve together?
- Why can't i be wooed by one man, and have meaningless sex with another? (i've learned that this can't be the same man)
- Is the internet truly evil? (porn! online dating!)
- Should I become a lesbian? Women are where its at.
- I'm not being wooed romantically or having meaningless sex right now. What am i doing wrong?
I don't have the answers. Do you?

STUTTGART (Bloomberg) -- Porsche Automobil Holding SE plans to spend the bulk of its 2.61 billion euro ($3.64 billion) cash pile on acquisitions beyond its controlling stake in Volkswagen Group.
The holding company looked at more than 24 potential takeover targets last year, though terms didn't warrant any agreement, and Porsche "is not willing to pay any price" when investing, CEO Martin Winterkorn said today at a press conference near headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. Even so, it's "only a matter of time" before the company announces a deal.
Porsche SE's only directly held asset is 50.7 percent of the common stock in Volkswagen following the 2012 sale of the Porsche car brand to VW that settled a takeover dispute. Porsche reiterated that it plans purchases "along the automotive value chain." Areas of interest include drivetrains, material and safety technology, as well as sustainability, Winterkorn said. "We're operating in a very demanding market environment for strategic investments," said Winterkorn, who is also Volkswagen's CEO. "There's a lot of liquidity in the market, so valuations are currently very high."
Unchanged dividend
Profit after tax dropped to 2.41 billion euros last year from 7.94 billion euros in 2012, Porsche SE said. Net liquidity at the end of December rose to 2.61 billion euros from 2.56 billion euros a year earlier.
The company plans to keep the dividend unchanged at 2.01 euros per preferred share, the stock that trades publicly. Profit this year will total 2.2 billion euros to 2.7 billion euros, Winterkorn said.
Investment plans won't be hampered by Volkswagen investors' lawsuits against Porsche stemming from the sports-car manufacturer's bid in 2008 to buy the automaker, Hans Dieter Poetsch, chief financial officer of both companies, told journalists.
Porsche scored a victory on Tuesday when the Stuttgart Regional Court dismissed a 1.4 billion euro suit filed by 23 hedge funds claiming the company lied during the acquisition effort. Other cases involving investors are pending in Braunschweig, Germany, near Volkswagen's home city, and in the United States.
Poetsch said the holding company "will continue to use all legal means" to defend itself. "We consider all pending claims against Porsche SE, its supervisory board members and former members of its executive board to be without merit," and the U.S. cases "also to be legally insufficient," the CFO said.

More LE Bike Racing on Sunday March 20, 2011
Apparently, both Rob Johnson and Jeff Manson raced on Sunday. Same distance as Eakin, different race. Jeff M. was 5th and Rob J. was 10th or so in a sprint finish. Apparently, Rob J. was going at a max speed of 84.65/kmh! at some point. Almost equals the 91.4/kmh Coach Alans' Garmin report shows for the spin session he led on Saturday. I'm wondering if the reports of engines in the down tube are true after all! There are going to be some fireworks at LE TT sessions this year, and based on the posted speed limits on our route, some speeding tickets.

New Rub Review: Lawry's Chipotle Cinnamon Rub On Chicken Thighs
After my success with the chicken drumsticks yesterday and talking to one of my lobstermen, Mark Ring suggested chicken thighs on the BBQ. I asked my good buddy Eric Lorden to look for a new rub at the Restaurant Depot and he came back with Lowrey's Chipotle Cinnamon Rub $20 for a huge 27 oz. container on Amazon.
Here are the ingredients from the package-
Ingredients Salt, sugar, brown sugar, spices (including chipotle chili pepper and cinnamon), paprika, onion, garlic, and vinegar.
I was looking for a rub that would be a little different than the straight spicy hot Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Magic Rub that I've been using on just about everything. With the second two ingredients being sugar and brown sugar this figures to be the sweet one to provide a little change-up.
One whiff once you take off the cap gives a big hint of the sweet/savory goodness…

By Serkan Engin (Guest Contributor)
Through a collective struggle, I firmly believe that Armenian and Turkish youth can together destroy hatred. I am working to raise awareness through my writing, especially within the Turkish youth, of the Armenian Genocide as well as the Assyrian, Nestorian, Chaldean, and Greek genocides, which were all perpetrated by our Turkish ancestors.
I am trying to change the wrong perception about Armenians and Greeks in Turkey, which have been established by the lies of the official ideology. I am trying to show the awful truths of our history to the Turkish youth, so that we can erase the defaults of racist education in Turkey. We are taught that "One Turk is equal to the whole world," arising from Fascist-Kemalist ideology, which has forbidden the existence of all ethnic identities that are not Turkish.
Adolf Hitler once said, "The first student of Mustafa Kemal was Mussolini, the second is me." I believe that only conscience can save this world. We will not find reparation through big ideologies, big leaders, money, weapons, laws, or technology; our progress lies in the cohesive development and realization of conscience. Conscience can be developed by empathy, and empathy begins with recognizing the pain of other people. We all have to develop empathy with those who are suffering and stand behind all humans who are oppressed, ignored, exploited, and abused.
We have to succeed in feeling the pain of other humans across the world and we must refuse to be accepting of discrimination against those who come from different backgrounds and harbor different beliefs.
As the son of a Turkish woman, I accept and recognize the realities of the Armenian Genocide. Although I personally had no participation in this violent crime, I apologize to all the Armenian victims and kneel down in front of you in the name of humanity. Not only do I apologize for the Armenian Genocide, but I also apologize for the Holocaust, Rwanda, Bosnia, Cambodia, Darfur, and every other genocide perpetrated by the conscienceless humans of our world. I believe that we shall overcome this hatred and lack of conscience someday.
Serkan Engin is a writer from Turkey whose poems have been published in numerous literary journals. He is an advocate of social change in Turkey and works to raise genocide awareness through his writing.

"The key action is good"
Like: Casio PX-150 because the timbre of the item is colorful .
Ok: The key action is good..
Ok but: The ivory and ebony like keys are good but too much textured.
Dislike: The pedal is bad. It absolutely needs SP-33 pedal set.
Note: I don't need any rhythm feature, and PX 150 does not have any. In order to do that, one can use the USB midi but it is not as friendly as its competitors drum feature.

Slap Talk
Action Hero
Award-winning Bristol-based duo Gemma Paintin and James Stenhouse have been creating interdisciplinary performance together for the past decade; touring to more than twenty countries across five continents. With the live experience at the heart of everything they do, their work takes many different forms and explores the iconography of popular culture and its use, both as a weapon and as a shared cultural memory. A book of six of their works, including Slap Talk, has been published by Oberon.
Slap Talk is a durational work that's funny and entertaining but also dark, complex and deeply unsettling. For six uninterrupted hours, Action Hero read from autocues whilst audiences - who can come and go as they please - simultaneously watch the live performance and a video feed from a camera to a monitor. Over time the gestures, codes, images and rhetoric of popular culture (and by extension everyday life) are playfully re-rendered, reversed and repeated until the foundations of violence inherent in the clichéd languages and texts of contemporary culture are thoroughly exhausted.
Please note that tickets for Slap Talk allow multiple entry to the 6 hour durational show. Delegates can attend any time during the performance hours (1500-2100) and are encouraged to stay for a minimum of 1hr or to visit more than once.

Believer, happy New Year to you and your family. Great words you spoke concerning going the extra mile.
I believe Christians get complascent, happy they are saved, sing songs, go to church and talk about Jesus, but they are not going the extra mile. I've thought about that and I think it is because many are not really saved. If they were the Spirit would be convicting them, guiding them, and they would be going out of their way to make a difference in some way for the glory of God. All the enjoyment they have is for themselves. That is only my opinion. What other reason could it be that stops them?
on 12/31/11
God bless you Mark V, Jesus went the extra mile - he reached out to those that other people overlooked and undervalued in other words "YOU AND ME". Going the extra mile is not about making yourself feel better but being an ambassador for Christ everyday of our lives. For the gentleman who blogged about his boss. God is your boss NOT man and if God has allowed this to happen it is for a reason. Gods chastising is not pleasant but is necessary. Instead of being angry at your boss - get on your knees, repent and ask God to show you what you were supposed to learn from it. Romans 8v28 says that "all things (even the painful ones) work together for good." Happy New Year

I try to go an extra two or three miles rather than just one extra mile. It makes me feel like I'm better than others and the extra exercise helps me keep the weight off.
on 12/26/11
I believe the extra mile here is total commitment of our lives to Christ. Not just on and off when we want. Some just commit by saying, others commit by doing. Walking the walk. Christmas and birthdays just happens to be a day everyone including nonchristians who show their love by giving gifts to others, but genuine Christians show the love for others every day.

Neither did God teach us to blog on the computer, so it also must be evil.
on 12/24/11
NO. how can a person learn to work. this will make them more LAZY. I did that at work & the manager will abuse you, your lazy co worker will take advantage. christians SHOULD LEARN HOW TO SAY NO.
on 12/23/11
Don't justify a pagan festival with the teachings of Jesus Christ. If you love God, you would do well to speak the Truth unto others of what Scripture reminds us daily,
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."
Did God teach us to cut down trees and place them in our homes, decorate them with ornaments?
on 12/22/11
The extra mile came from Jesus's teachings. During the Roman empire a roman soldier could demand a man of age (at least 15 or 16) to carry his equipment a maximum of one mile. During this mile the soldier is in control but the extra mile the tables are turned and the person with the equipment is in control by serving. Which coupled with pray for your enemies (Rome was the enemy)is very powerful.
on 12/22/11
I agree with going the extra mile all year long. Jesus did not say "love your neighbor only on my birthday." He said, "love your neighbor as yourself."
on 12/21/11
No, they should do it EVERY day, not just at Christmas.
I do favors for my friends and neighbors all year long. When Christmas comes, I don't give them gifts because I do it all year long. How would showing the Love of God ONE DAY a year effect you?
