Jesus Christ is the world's greatest revolutionary.
People who believe Him and follow His teachings are empowered on every level of their existence. It is impossible to be a true follower of Christ and not realize that you are worth something, no matter what the larger world has to say to the contrary.
This revolutionary aspect of Christianity is most evident in its impact on marginalized people, including women.
The women who are part of the "untouchable" or "Dalit" class in India are currently experiencing and demonstrating this powerful revolutionizing effect of Jesus Christ. It begins, as Christian revolution always does, with one individual who says "yes" to Jesus. This "yes" starts this person on the life-long walk with Christ that slowly changes who they see themselves to be and what they want to do.
Jesus doesn't change what you do. He changes what you want to do. And by changing that, He works through you to change the world.
This power of conversion is what is so sadly lacking in the hearts and minds of tepid Christians here in the West. The rich-kids Catholic school in Seattle that I wrote about earlier today is an example. These people are salt that has lost is savor and is no longer of any use in the work of Kingdom building.
On the other hand, the Spirit is moving and empowering the "untouchables" of India to be more than their society has allowed them to be. That is the power of Jesus Christ. He levels the mighty and elevates the cast-offs.
Perhaps no one is more cast off and marginalized than the women of the bottom tier of a caste society. India is a caste society where women are so far down the scale that baby girls are routinely murdered both before and after birth simply because they are girls. A Dalit woman occupies the bottom of the bottom in that world; the place from which there is no arising.
Yet, by the grace of God and the leavening influence of Jesus Christ, these women are rising. They are seeking education, buying homes and reporting domestic abuse. They are exercising their freedom as full human beings made in the image and likeness of the living God.
That is the revolutionary force of Christianity when we live it as it is given to us instead of trying to shape it to fit the society in which we reside. We each face a choice every day of our lives as to who or Whom we will follow. We chose. And we make this choice one day, one moment, at a time every day of our lives.
In course of living out our choices, we become what we do. You can not turn your back on God when it is socially convenient and use Him for your puny purposes when you need a dose of feel good. That is an illusory Christianity, a "cheap grace" as Bonnhoeffer called it, that avails nothing.
From CNA/EWTN News:
From CNA/EWTN News:Rome, Italy, Dec 20, 2013 / 05:04 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- A researcher at Washington D.C.'s Georgetown University has found that impoverished women in India are more likely to improve their economic circumstances after converting to Christianity."Conversion actually helps launch women on a virtuous circle."… said Rebecca Samuel Shah, research fellow at Georgetown's Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs.
Shah presented her initial findings of a pilot study looking at "patterns and directions where conversion had an impact" on Dalit women in Bangalore, India at a conference on "Christianity and Freedom" held in Rome on Dec. 13-14.
Dalits are considered the "outcasts" of or "pariahs" of society in India.
"One is actually born a Dalit, you cannot leave a Dalit status. You're born and you live and you die a Dalit," Shah explained. "Dalits are employed in the some of the worst jobs…they scavenge, they sweep, they're tanners. They do the smelliest, dirtiest work, and therefore they 'polute'… they're 'untouchables.'"
… Shah's study yielded some surprising results about the impact of Christian conversion on the lives of Dalit women in "a very violent urban slum."
The majority of Hindu, Muslim and Christian Dalit women interviewed were illiterate. Many belong to a microfinance program which gives them access to loans which they then use towards their children's education or to run a small business.
The first "unexpected pattern" Shah encountered was in housing. "The converts converted their loans to purchasing houses, and turned dead capital into resources to generate additional capital."
… The impact of home ownership is crucial, since "by being able to own a house, these poor women were able to get bank loans, commercial loans, which they didn't have access to before that. When you have a house you can get a loan at 3 percent, instead of from a money lender at 18 percent. So having a house is a very important investment in your future, so you can have access to very affordable credit."
The second "dramatic" finding in Shah's study concerned domestic violence.
A national family health survey in India in 2005-2006 indicated that 86 percent of the women interviewed nationally had never told anyone that they had been abused.
According to Shah, this large scale study indicated that a woman's religion was an important indicator of whether or not she would seek help. "Only 24 percent of Hindu women sought help, and 22 percent of Muslim women, but 32 percent of Christian women sought help," she noted.
Shah's own study "echoed" the national health data, in that "57 percent of women – a very large number of women – actually tell their pastor" about domestic violence.
… "It was a unique finding. We were not looking for this," added Shah.
The Georgetown researcher then pointed to the underlying factors that accompany an improvement in circumstances after conversion.
"Conversion activates in the converts a powerful new concept of value and initiative," she explained.
It offers "a radically different way of seeing themselves: seeing themselves as a new creation, a new identity, made in the image of God, seeking a better life for themselves."
"Poverty is inherently depressing. It's discouraging. It's debilitating. It breeds hopelessness: 'why bother?'" she reflected.
Yet with a new Christian vision, "The future is not terrifying. It can be achieved. Because God is with them, they can invest in the future. It's not something to ignore, not something to be terrified of."

'Are Strong Vibrators Bad For Women?' — Ask Dr. Harry Fisch
My wife uses a pocket rocket that's more just rocket. If she uses a really strong vibrator, can it make it harder for her to orgasm from sex?' -- Jon, 31, Las Vegas
Most women need some kind of direct stimulation of the clitoris to have an orgasm. Sex alone — meaning vaginal penetration — doesn't usually cut it.
Vibrators certainly can be effective at clitoral stimulation and, for that reason, they're used for both masturbation and as sex toys used with partners. The "strength" of a vibrator isn't the issue—vibrators typically either work for a woman or they don't…it's a matter of the type and style of vibrator and what a particular woman enjoys.
Generally speaking, using a vibrator shouldn't make it harder for a woman to orgasm with oral or manual stimulation—in fact, it may make it easier because she'll learn precisely motions or stimulation turn her on best.
Dr. Harry Fisch is a board certified urologist. He's here to answer reader questions in an effort to get guys to "man up about health."

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Juniors Zach Stephens and Brandon Thomasson combined for 10 RBI and senior ace Tristan Archer tossed five solid innings as the Tennessee Tech baseball team (24-10, 13-3) took down the visiting Eastern Illinois Panthers (12-19, 3-9), 20-5 Friday evening.
What appeared at first to be pitching duel between Archer and EIU starter Andrew Grahn, quickly turned into a dominating offensive performance by the Golden Eagle bats. After two scoreless innings, Tech struck gold, erupting for a season-high 20 runs and handing Grahn his second loss of the season. Archer picked up his sixth victory of the year, just one shy of his career-high seven in 2011.
The Panthers did manage five runs in the contest, with two coming off the bat of shortstop Dane Sauer. Five EIU pitchers combined to walk nine batters in the contest, giving the Golden Eagles plenty of scoring chances that the team would take advantage of.
In the bottom of the third with a scoreless game, not much looked to be going any different than the first two and half innings as catcher Jordan Parris flew out to left field. Things quickly changed as second baseman Zach Zarzour drew a four-pitch walk. Austin Wulf followed with a single through the right side and a Zach Stephens walk loaded the bases for Brandon Thomasson.
The junior slugger promptly roped a double to left field, driving in two runs and breaking the scoreless tie. Daniel Miles continued his hot start to the month of April, singling through the left side and driving in two more runs to give the Golden Eagles a 4-0 lead. Dylan Bosheers grabbed a base hit through the right side before Michael Morris drilled an RBI double down the right field line. James Abraham would finish the scoring in the inning for Tech, smacking a sac fly to the right fielder. Tech led 6-0 after three innings.
Eastern Illinois looked to make things interesting, scoring two runs in the top of the fourth to make it a 6-2 game. The Golden Eagle offense wasn't done though.
After an RBI double by Stephens in the fourth, Tech struck for five runs in the fifth, using three straight walks to load the bases. Wulf reached base on an error by the EIU first baseman, driving in a run. Stephens walked in the next at-bat, bringing home another run and setting up Thomasson with a ton of run potential.
The designated hitter delivered, hammering a single up the middle for two RBI. Another Panther error allowed the final run of the inning to score and Tech found itself up 12-2. And the team still wasn't done.
In the sixth, the Golden Eagles were at it again. Wulf singled in a run to start things off, followed quickly by a two-run double by Stephens. Thomasson had his fill again, this time launching a two-run shot over the right center field wall, the junior's ninth of the season. After six innings, Tech led 17-2. It still wasn't enough.
After the Panthers scored three runs in the seventh and eighth innings, the Golden Eagles struck one last time. Senior Evan Frazier, who pinch-hit for Thomasson, singled through the left side, later scoring on a wild pitch. After a double by Miles, Bosheers smacked a sac fly to center field, leaving the Tech squad just one run shy of 20.
Senior Zephan Guyear came through, crushing a solo home run over the left field fence to give the Golden Eagles a 20-5 win over a team that swept Tech in last season's series.
Thomasson finished the game 3-for-5, collecting six RBI. Stephens drove in four runs, scoring three more himself while gathering two hits in four at-bats. He also walked twice. Miles went 4-for-4 in the contest, driving in two runs.
Archer struck out seven batters over five innings of work, allowing just two earned runs and two walks. Andy Williams pitched the final two innings of the game, striking out three while surrendering just one walk and no hits.
The Golden Eagles and Panthers will face off in Game Two on Saturday when Cookeville native Ross Spurgeon takes on Joe Greenfield in a 2 p.m. tilt.

Ratings for Dr. Morgan C. Camp
Dr. Camp has helped me immensely. I was feeling exhausted, forgetful, bloated, and was gaining weight. Dr. Camp diagnosed me as hypothyroid, something that I had been told by my other doctors that I did not have, and adrenal fatigue. Since working with him (about 6 months), my symptoms have improved dramatically. I have lost those extra pounds, feel more energized and clear. I am sleeping better and am able to better enjoy my family and my life. Dr. Camp does not just treat your symptoms, he figures out the underlying cause so that your body can properly heal. I am so grateful to have found him.
Dr. Camp is a great doctor. I was suffering from menopause. Hot flashes, couldn't sleep through the night and tired all the time. Dr. Camp balanced my hormones with bio identical hormones estrogen and progesterone creams and I am sleeping through the night. I haven't had one hot flash since I started the creams. I am also taking naturethirod a natural thyroid medication that has helped my metabolism and leveled my thyroid to a normal range. Every woman experiencing menopause should not suffer. There is natural help in balancing your hormones. Dr. Camp is patient and listens to you and gives you a program that is right for you. With blood work all the balancing happens there. I recommend Dr. Camp for every woman out there suffering through menopause.
Highly recommend, treats the problem not the symptoms. I was suffering from depression, gout, herpes outbreaks and dr Camp helped me change my life around
I came to Dr Camp because I had an impinged nerve in my neck, torn tendons in my forearm, shooting pains from my right shoulder going right down to my wrist. I had severe repetitive strain injury, on painkillers for 9 mths. Dr Camp explained how the medication I had been taking had frozen my natural healing abilities and explained how Prolotherapy would kick off the process for my healing. I was also having huge issues with headaches, which was so bad that I could barely move at times, thus not being able to work or play, very depressing time. Even though the Prolotherapy was slightly uncomfortable, each session became easier over time and within several months I noticed a huge difference in the ease of movement in my neck, shoulder, arm and wrist. Feeling began to return to with increased strength and decreased pain. Dr Camp also recommended an amazing physical therapist which increased healing. Dr Camp is a certainly the best doctor who really listens and cares.
Went to Dr. Camp suffering from debilitating migraines. After having some tests done by Dr. Camp, it was determined that I had Hypothyroid! Doing much better. This was going on for five years and no other doctors could figure this out. I also have allergies to preservatives and chemicals. So glad to have found Dr. Camp as I feel he listens to you and feels your pain.
I was really excited to find Dr. Camp but over the course of time (several visits) I realized he does not have the experience or patience I require, especially for the price. He did not explain things fully, but expects you to follow his instructions. He became annoyed at me when I asked questions. He suspected a gluten intollerance, but failed to explain the importnace of this - how gluten attacks the immune system and is part of an autoimmune disease. He seems just like most doctors, he thinks within the box. My case may just have been too complex for him.
Wonderful Doctor that saved my life. I had an allergy to mold, not realizing that I was being exposed at my work place. Dr. Camp told me I needed to fine the source(mold) and get away from it. I have since left that work place and have improved with Dr. Camps instructions. Every day that I feel good, I owe that to Dr. Camp. I am proud to say that Dr. Camp Is my Dr. for life.
I have seen Dr. Camp for years now; infrequently lately as I lost ALL my money in the crash. He allows patients to pay on time, he is generous to those he's known for a while that are going through hard times (eg.he gave my partner & me big discounts on last visits as we not doing well re $), & in general is simply wonderful. I know a good doctor when I see one, & when I find them I hang on for dear life. He's THAT kind of Doc. Prolotherapy works; it is amazing & miraculous that our connective tissues can grow back stronger & more flexible after a life of accidents & hormonal imbalances, etc. Because of Morgan, I feel whole in a way I haven't felt before, & he has helped my spouse & children & friends. AWESOME! My only plaintive whine re ALL such Docs, is that this NECESSARY form of medicine is too damned pricey. There are so many who need this-why so high? But-he has kept me on my feet; maybe he needs2eat! BUT WE LOVE HIM~NOBODY BETTER, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
One of my worst experiences with a medical "professional" ever.
Great doctor, very thorough! He thinks of things that others never even consider. He traced my years of painful GI problems to a gluten intolerance. I am gluten and pain free. Now I'm repairing the damage done. Dr. Camp created a treatment plan to help in the healing process.

2016 GOP Convention bid: Denver TV news should give credit where it's due
Shortly after The Denver Post broke the story Wednesday night that the Colorado GOP is readying a bid to host in Denver the 2016 Republican National Convention, two of the largest television news outlets in the capital city leapt in with posts on their website homepages to announce the development.
The stations, 9News and CBS4, failed to mention that the news of the convention bid resulted from an exclusive report from The Denver Post's Washington correspondent, Allison Sherry.
By exclusive report, I mean a report that a professional journalist worked on for several hours. The report was not the offspring of a press release or an official announcement from the Colorado GOP or anyone else. Rather, it was an example of pure enterprise. Sherry got the information in confidence from a source, worked the phones and flushed out the news with on-the-record confirmation from multiple sources.
And yet, the two stations – which boast enormous audiences – took full credit for the report.
"Colorado GOP leaders have confirmed to CBS4 Political Specialist Shaun Boyd that they are bidding for Denver to host the 2016 Republican National Convention."

This was a Hands on Play Challenge, but do you know what Maisy wanted to do on Thursday? She wanted to go on a hunt - an idea she came up with because she had been watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates. She went and hid a treasure box outside and then came in to draw a map for us to follow. She said we needed to be sure to have our cameras ready for this hunt.
We followed our map and it took us to the sand box. She dug the treasure right out - she was pretty excited about it for having hidden it herself just a couple minutes earlier.
She needed to be sure she got a picture of me holding the treasure box.
And then she and Mina had loads of fun taking pictures of each other. They played with these cameras for well over an hour. Come to think of it, the only reason they had to stop was because Maisy wore out her battery.
Before we started our treasure hunt, they were both fighting over this camera.
I let Maisy use this other camera of mine and I was impressed with the way she took care of it.

UPDATE: This post has been updated to include Paul Sadler's campaign response (bottom of page).
John Jay Myers, the Libertarian on the ballot for an open U.S. Senate seat, released his campaign's first television ad Monday in sync with the first day of early voting in Texas.
Myers, a restaurant owner in Dallas, summarizes his positions in the 30-second spot that will air on cable channels in Ellis County, according to the campaign.
"We need to end crony capitalism in Washington… We need to end the wars and bring our troops home, we can no longer afford to be the world's police," Myers says. "…You should be able to eat, drink or smoke whatever it is you like and it's certainly not the government's business to tell you who you can marry."
Myers said he hopes to recruit both Republican and Democratic voters with the ad. He said he hopes the ad gives undecided voters "someone to vote for" rather than voting against a candidate.
"When it gets down to the issues that are really effecting everybody right now, these guys are horrible, Cruz and Sadler both," Myers said.
Myers said his reference to "crony capitalism in Washington" in the ad is a swipe at Republican candidate Ted Cruz.
"Ted Cruz's wife is a vice president for Goldman Sachs. I realize that is guilt by association but at the same time, she's the VP of Goldman Sachs, the worst offender in the whole banking industry and this guy is our tea party representative," Myers said.
Cruz has not responded to a request to comment.
Myers said candidate Paul Sadler is a "lame Democrat" who doesn't represent the party's views on foreign policy.
"The Democrat who is running in Texas needs to have the backbone to say enough, we are spending way too much money on (the wars in the Middle East)," Myers said. "What we do around the world actually causes the problems we say we are trying to solve."
Chuck McDonald, spokesman for Sadler, said Sadler is the mainstream candidate and both of his opponents, Cruz and Myers, have extreme views out of touch with voters.
"Myers thinks Sadler isn't Democratic enough and Cruz says Sadler is a Democrat to the extreme but truth lies somewhere in the middle," McDonald said.

Learn more:
A storage area network (SAN) is a high-speed special-purpose network (or subnetwork) that interconnects different kinds of data storage devices with associated data servers on behalf of a larger network of users. Typically, a storage area network is part of the overall network of computing resources for an enterprise. A storage area network is usually clustered in close proximity to other computing resources such as IBM S/390 mainframes but may also extend to remote locations for backup and archival storage, using wide area network carrier technologies such as asynchronous transfer mode or Synchronous Optical Networks.
A storage area network can use existing communication technology such as IBM's optical fiber ESCON or it may use the newer Fibre Channel technology. Some SAN system integrators liken it to the common storage bus (flow of data) in a personal computer that is shared by different kinds of storage devices such as a hard disk or a CD-ROM player.
SANs support disk mirroring, backup and restore, archival and retrieval of archived data, data migration from one storage device to another, and the sharing of data among different servers in a network. SANs can incorporate subnetworks with network-attached storage (NAS) systems.

We were hoping to learn more about a missing Colorado woman during a news conference today but no new information was released.
22 year old Kelsie Schelling is from Denver and was last seen when she went to Pueblo to meet an acquaintance.
That was earlier last month.
Pueblo Police surveillance video shows an unknown man picking up her car - which was left overnight at a Wal-Mart in Pueblo.
Her car was found about a week later at St. Mary Corwin hospital.
If you know anything about where Kelsie Schelling may be, call Pueblo Police.
On Friday Pueblo police will hold a news conference about Kelsie Schelling, a 22-year-old missing woman from Denver. She was last seen in Pueblo.
Detectives are expected to update the investigation and Schelling's family will make some statements.
Police say Schelling went to Pueblo on Feb. 4 in her 2011 black Chevrolet Cruz. She was supposed to meet an acquaintance at Walmart on W. Northern Ave.
According to cell phone records she did make it to Pueblo. Video surveillance shows her car parked at Walmart on Feb. 5 around 12:05 p.m. It was left there overnight. On Feb. 6 an unidentified man picked the car up and drove away.
On Feb. 14, Schelling's car was found at St. Mary Corwin Hospital. It had been parked there around 5:30 a.m. on Feb. 7. That same day Schelling's cell phone records show she was in the Pueblo area until her cell phone battery died.
Shelling is described as a white female, 5 feet 3 inches tall and 120 pounds. She has shoulder length brown hair and green eyes.
If you have any information about where she is or how she disappeared, call Pueblo police or Crime Stoppers at 719-542-STOP.

The New Food Science – and Where Coffee Sits
Posted by TheShot on 30 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: Coffee Health, Consumer Trends
I always say I refuse to write about the latest health-related press release about coffee. Sure enough, last week, I wrote about the so-called new positive news about coffee's affect on your health. A couple months earlier, I wrote about the folly of drinking coffee or tea primarily as a biochemical or epidemiological decision. But this week, I read an article that perhaps best expresses my skepticism over how science, marketing, and media have all come together in an unholy stew to drive much of the public health debate today.
This past Sunday, the New York Times Magazine ran a cover story by The Omnivore's Dilemma author, Michael Pollan: Unhappy Meals – Michael Pollan – New York Times. It's an excellent article reviewing the paradox of why we have more detailed scientific information about nutrition than we've ever had previously, and more access to food science, and yet Americans are as unhealthy — and as paranoid about the health merits of their food — as ever.
The crux of his argument is that, in the past few decades, eating healthy foods in moderation has been upstaged by the deconstructionist science of nutritionism (i.e., presuming that the good or bad health effects of foods can be explained by their minute compositions in deconstructed isolation), food lobbyists who have shaped government policy through political influence, food marketers who have shaped consumer tastes through new "food product" introduction, and a much more powerful media market for health (dis-)information and consumer influence.
Coffee As Food
It's with this backdrop that I read another article published today on the genetically engineered future of Brazilian coffee stocks, taking a different form of the deconstructionist approach towards consumables: Brazil – Brazzil Magazine – Tomorrow's Coffee Is Being Invented and Grown in Brazil's Labs. But this isn't a Luddite rant against genetic engineering. Note how its last few paragraphs qualify coffee as a functional food — and trace coffee's original bad health rap to twenty-year-old scientific studies of caffeine tested in isolation. This deconstructionist approach of examining caffeine projected false assumptions about consuming coffee as a whole.
One of the major recommendations Michael Pollan makes in his article is to stand by unsexy, health-fad-unfriendly staples that mankind has thrived upon for centuries. Maybe coffee isn't an anti-oxidant-laden power beverage, but it just might be a functional food. It has certainly withstood the test of time.
A couple weeks ago, they were passing out free samples of this vile Life Force V drink on Market & Montgomery. Not only did it violate every one of Pollan's warnings about food bearing health claims. (It was a long list on the label, including, and I'm not making this up, "No banned substances". What the…?) But tasting it made me look up the number for poison control (it's 1-800-222-1222, btw). Then I ordered the nearest decent espresso I could find.

[…] All that coffee innovation just makes me think of last week's New York Times Magazine article by Michael Pollan. Classic good food just doesn't sell with modern product marketing techniques. Superficial gimmicks are much more profitable for food marketers. As a result, none of these companies will ever bother to make better coffee. There isn't much money in that. Rather, their profits lie in making your basic good cup of espresso seem boring and outdated — getting you to instead spend your dollars on short-attention-span flash and synthetic frippery. […]
[…] The bizarrely misplaced food freak-out continues, as we have people overlooking the environmental, energy consumption, and dietary/health horrors of the processed foods that make up 80% of today's American diet — focusing instead on caffeine as the root of all evil. Today, TV station KERO in Bakersfield, CA reported that a coffee-drinking New York city councilman, Simcha Felder, "plans to introduce a resolution calling on the federal government to require that food and beverages contain labels revealing caffeine content": Food Labels Need Caffeine Count, Some Say – Health.

Blackforest Motorsports' 2009 Dodge Challenger
Blackforest Motorsports enters a Challenger in the KONI Challenge Series
In the late 60's and especially in the early 1970's, Pony Cars with American Muscle made racing names for themselves with Dodge Challengers, Plymouth Barracudas, Chevy Camaros and Ford Mustangs challenging the road racing courses thorough the States in series known then as SCCA Trans Am and "A" Production. And while the series names and the definition of a Pony Car has been revised, the Competition among the Nameplates and the Teams that remember continues on.
This car started its life as a street car weighing 4,300lbs, but has now been lipo-sucked down to 3,495lbs. We had some engine and mechanical problems early on, including a manufacturing defect in the engine block, that have resulted in early race retirements. We have since built an aluminum dry sump engine, and have tested at the Chrysler proving grounds, a local airport, West Palm Raceway, and Texas Motor Ranch. With the full support of Chrysler employees the guys at Blackforest believe they now have a competitive and reliable race car.
Fast forward to the last race of the Grand Am Koni Challenge Series which is being held on the high speed Virginia International Raceway on October 2-4. There on the rolling countryside, the Dodge Challenger and the expected return of the Chevy Camaro will take on series veterans Ford Mustang, Porsche 997, and BMW M3 in a 4 hour Endurance Race on the 3.27 mile, 17 turn Road Course.
Blackforest Motorsports will bring the 2009 Dodge Challenger fresh from an 8 hour test and chassis tuning session in the hands of Koni Series winning drivers, Tom Nastasi and Ian James. Joining them for this race is SCCA Champion Eric Heuschele. The Chevy Camaro will be piloted by David Donohue and one of the leading Mustangs is in the hands of Jack Roush Jr.

Slow Down with Nature
It's a well-known fact that consistent work, putting in the hours and tireless attention to your business directly correlates to achieving more. I understand, part of keeping the momentum going means you may be looking at your phone more often than you probably want. It may feel like you are constantly going, never getting a break. While it seems like nothing slows down, nature, on the other hand, has a special way of slowing down time for us.
As a young boy growing up in Idaho, I remember taking the time to be still and observe the magnificent nature around me. I loved the outdoors and the energy that filled me when I sat and looked out at the sprawling blue sky. It was during those times that I came to understand and respect the lessons that nature provides – community, freedom and destiny.
It's amazing how small one can feel while sitting in the woods. Sitting by myself I would watch the birds, animals and insects interact and listen as the breeze rustled the leaves in the trees. Although I felt small, I realized that I was a part of a bigger whole. Like the birds, the ants and the trees, everyone has an important part to play in our community. What we do, directly impacts the other parts. That's why I believe in the importance of conservation and environmental protection.
Of course, the Eagle has always provided a symbol for freedom for me. I used to enjoy watching them spread their wings and glide effortlessly through the sky. Just as these birds take a leap, we must also let our feet come off the ground to take leaps of faith to find freedom. Sometimes, it's just about having the faith, letting the wind carry us, and letting go of our safety nets.
If you've ever sat down in nature and found a source of water, you probably noticed the natural current that flows. No matter what rock or debris stands in its way, it pushes through to get to its ultimate destination – maybe to a large gorgeous lake or even to the vast ocean. Going against the current wouldn't be easy, but sometimes we create resistance by not having belief in ourselves or not letting our destiny unfold. We must let go of that resistance and have faith in knowing that it will get us to our ultimate destination.
Coming up to our Global Rally in Dallas next year, I encourage you to experience nature and observe its lesson for yourself by visiting one of the Forever Resorts properties in the United States. As you plan your time here, be sure to book a trip to one of our resorts. There are so many different experiences you can have, from taking out a houseboat on a scenic lake and going on a river rapid adventure to seeing one of the spectacular canyons in Arizona or Utah.
Take the time to step outdoors and seek adventure. You owe it to yourself to slow down a bit when you get here!
Forever Yours,
Rex Maughan

By John McMullen
Star Lotulelei was expecting to wow onlookers at the NFL Scouting Combine over the weekend.
Instead the Utah product, who is the top-ranked player at his position on most
team's draft boards, didn't even work out after it was revealed he is dealing
with a potentially serious heart condition, one which could result in a draft
day slide for Lotulelei as possible suitors deal with durability and longevity
You knew something was wrong on Sunday when Lotulelei was a no-show and ESPN's
Chris Mortensen first reported the news, finding out that Lotulelei's left
ventricle is pumping at 44 percent efficiency compared to the normal range of
55 to 70 percent.
The issue is serious enough that officials at the combine asked Lotulelei to
shut it down until he is evaluated by a specialist sometime this week in Salt
Lake City.
On the surface, this looks like a disaster for Lotulelei, who could have been a
top-five selection in April's draft.
Take a step back, however, and understand this diagnosis could have short-
circuited a potential tragedy and it's certainly the best thing for Lotulelei
in the long run.
If doctors can solve the issue and clear Lotulelei, who is still interviewing
with teams in Indianapolis, he will still have plenty of time to impress scouts
at Utah's pro day in March.
For a while, Te'o-ing surpassed Tebow-ing in Internet fame, but that will
probably be the extent of the damage done to the king of the "Catfish."
That and the ribbing Manti Te'o will receive in an NFL locker room.
Te'o tried to shift the focus from the now-infamous hoax involving his fake
girlfriend back to football on Saturday.
Te'o, of course, claims he was led to believe a girlfriend he had met online,
Lennay Kekua, was a real person who died from cancer. In reality, a man named
Ronaiah Tuiasosopo created Kekua out of thin air.
"It's definitely embarrassing," Te'o said at his highly anticipated press
conference. "When you walk into the grocery store and you get people giving
double takes and they're sitting there staring at you, it's definitely
embarrassing. I guess its part of the process, part of the journey. It's only
going to make me stronger and it definitely has."
The Heisman Trophy runner-up was barraged by questions on the hoax and how NFL
teams have reacted to the story.
"I understand people have questions, but I've answered everything I could. For
me, I'd really like to talk about football," Te'o said.
"I've said all I need to say about that. How I'm handling it going forward is
doing what I'm doing, focusing on the moment, focusing on football and the
At the time of his press conference on Saturday, Te'o had only met with two
teams -- the Houston Texans and Green Bay Packers -- but had meetings
scheduled with 18 others, all looking for answers.
"Teams want to be able to trust their player," he said. "You don't want
to invest in somebody you can't trust."
At the end of the day, NFL teams have dealt with far worse when it comes to
talented young men, so if Te'o proves he has NFL-caliber athleticism at the
combine or Notre Dame's pro day, Lennay Kekua will be quickly forgotten, at
least as far as the NFL is concerned.
"What I bring to the table is a lot of heart, a lot of energy and somebody
that works hard," Te'o said. "Somebody who hates to lose. I always say, 'I
hate losing more than I love to win.'"
Another possible hiccup for Te'O surfaced on Sunday when it was revealed he
will not take part in the bench press workout due to a a stinger in his right
Perhaps nothing is more important to NFL scouts than speed. That's why the 40-
yard dash gets so much attention in Indy.
Since the turn of the century, the fastest player at the combine was LSU
receiver Trindon Holliday (Denver Broncos) back in 2010, who registered an
amazing 4.21 seconds, according to NFLDraftScout.com.
Jacoby Ford (Clemson, Oakland Raiders) was a tick behind the same year at
4.22. However, so-called "official times" aren't released to teams until a
week or 10 days after the event and Ford was eventually downgraded to 4.28
while Holliday tumbled all the way to 4.34, giving the actual best time to
Tennessee Titans star Chris Johnson, who ran a 4.24 in 2008.
A couple of skill players threatened whatever record you consider the real
deal on Sunday with former Olympian Marquise Goodwin, the University of Texas
wide receiver, clocking a blazing 4.27 mark in the morning, and slight Auburn
running back Onterio McCalebb matching Holliday with an eye-popping 4.21 on
his second attempt in the afternoon.
When the NFL Network showed a "simulcam" overlaying McCalebb and Goodwin,
however, it was Goodwin crossing the finish line first and McCalebb's time was
eventually downed to 4.34, making him "only" the second-fastest this year,
along with wide receivers Tavon Austin of West Virginia and Ryan Swope of
Texas A&M.
Perhaps the most impressive 40-yard sprint, though, was a pedestrian 4.65, and
that's because it was put together by 6-foot-5, 306 pound Arkansas-
Pine Bluff offensive lineman Terron Armstead.
Armstead didn't get lucky, either, since his second chance came in at 4.71,
unheard of speed for a "Big Ugly." His 4.65 was better than Wisconsin running
back Montae Ball (4.66), Notre Dame star Theo Riddick (4.68) and Stanford
standout Stepfan Taylor (4.76).
In fact, Armstead did better than 15 different running backs, every quarterback
save West Virginia's Geno Smith and Florida State's E.J. Manuel, and even
bested three receivers.
"I've been blessed with a unique skill-set," Armstead said. "I'm extremely
light on my feet for a big guy, I have to say. It's a blessing."
Most have projected Armstead as a third- or fourth-round pick, but if his
footwork cam match his speed, he will begin moving north on most draft boards
rather quickly.
"They all know about my athleticism. They know (the combine) should help me
out a lot -- will help me out a lot," he said. "I've trained hard for this, so
it's be relaxed and go out and do what you know how to do."
Oklahoma tackle Lane Johnson, a likely first-rounder, also opened some eyes by
running a 4.72, while Armstead (34 1/2 inches) and Johnson (34) each posted the
best vertical leap numbers among the O-linemen.
Onterio McCalebb, Auburn (4.34)
Knile Davis, Arkansas (4.37)
Kerwynn Williams, Utah State (4.48)
Jonathan Franklin, UCLA (4.49)
Michael Ford, LSU (4.50)
Marquise Goodwin, Texas (4.27)
Tavon Austin, West Virginia (4.34)

4.28 (4.36) - Stephen Hill, (WR), Georgia Tech - 2012
Maybe Bill Kazmaier and Mark Henry aren't at the scouting combine, but plenty
of strong guys are.
Ohio University guard Eric Herman, Wake forest fullback Tommy Bohanon and
Georgia linebacker Cornelius Washington proved to be eating the most spinach,
each putting up 225 pounds 36 times. North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper, a
sure-fire first-round pick, was right behind, doing 35 reps.
All of those strongmen, however, weren't even in hailing distance of
Stephen Paea's (Oregon State, Chicago) amazing 49 reps in 2011.

February 16
Quotes of the day from previous years:
- 2004
- I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance. ~ e. e. cummings
- selected by Kalki
- 2005
- A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. ~ Henry Adams (born 16 February 1838)
- selected by Kalki
- 2006
- Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds. ~ Henry Adams (born 16 February 1838)
- selected by Kalki
- 2007
- The counsels of impatience and hatred can always be supported by the crudest and cheapest symbols; for the counsels of moderation, the reasons are often intricate, rather than emotional, and difficult to explain. And so the chauvinists of all times and places go their appointed way: plucking the easy fruits, reaping the little triumphs of the day at the expense of someone else tomorrow, deluging in noise and filth anyone who gets in their way, dancing their reckless dance on the prospects for human progress, drawing the shadow of a great doubt over the validity of democratic institutions. And until people learn to spot the fanning of mass emotions and the sowing of bitterness, suspicion, and intolerance as crimes in themselves — as perhaps the greatest disservice that can be done to the cause of popular government — this sort of thing will continue to occur. ~ George F. Kennan
- proposed by Kalki
- 2008
- Public opinion, or what passes for public opinion, is not invariably a moderating force in the jungle of politics. It may be true, and I suspect it is, that the mass of people everywhere are normally peace-loving and would accept many restraints and sacrifices in preference to the monstrous calamities of war. But I also suspect that what purports to be public opinion in most countries that consider themselves to have popular government is often not really the consensus of the feelings of the mass of the people at all, but rather the expression of the interests of special highly vocal minorities — politicians, commentators, and publicity-seekers of all sorts: people who live by their ability to draw attention to themselves and die, like fish out of water, if they are compelled to remain silent. ~ George F. Kennan
- proposed by Kalki
- 2009
- All experience is an arch, to build upon. ~ Henry Brooks Adams
- proposed by Kalki
- 2010
- What one knows is, in youth, of little moment; they know enough who know how to learn. ~ Henry Adams
- proposed by Kalki
- 2011
- Knowledge of human nature is the beginning and end of political education. ~ Henry Adams
- proposed by Kalki
- 2012
- Modern politics is, at bottom, a struggle not of men but of forces. ~ Henry Adams
- proposed by Kalki
- 2013
|No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.
|~ Henry Adams ~
- proposed by Kalki

|The difference is slight, to the influence of an author, whether he is read by five hundred readers, or by five hundred thousand; if he can select the five hundred, he reaches the five hundred thousand.
|~ Henry Adams ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2015
|In essence, religion was love; in no case was it logic. Reason can reach nothing except through the senses; God, by essence, cannot be reached through the senses; if he is to be known at all, he must be known by contact of spirit with spirit, essence with essence; directly; by emotion; by ecstasy; by absorption of our existence with his; by substitution of his spirit for ours.
|~ Henry Adams ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2016
|I know of nothing useful in life except what is beautiful or creates beauty.
|~ Henry Adams ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2017
|Whenever you have a possibility of going in two ways, either for peace or for war, for peaceful methods of for military methods, in the present age there is a strong prejudice for the peaceful ones. War seldom ever leads to good results.
|~ George F. Kennan ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2018
|What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight — it's the size of the fight in the dog.
|~ Dwight D. Eisenhower ~
- proposed by Kalki for the start of the Chinese Year of the Earth Dog
- 2019
|Boys never see a conclusion; only on the edge of the grave can man conclude anything; but the first impulse given to the boy is apt to lead or drive him for the rest of his life into conclusion after conclusion that he never dreamed of reaching.

1 Kalki 19:50, 15 February 2009 (UTC) * 2 Kalki 20:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)Though I might rank this a 3 or more on a date with a more notable linkage. I generally prefer to do birthdays and highly notable anniversaries when possible, and am disinclined to use death dates save where birthdates are unknown, and minor linkages only when no great quotes can be found with stronger ones. I also think this would be a good quote to use whenever he actually does die, which is probably something that isn't all that far away. I do not believe it sufficiently appropriate at all for a QOTD on this particular date, as of 2012·02·14.

- 4 because this is another of my strong beliefs. History finds ways to absolve. This is another of my favorites and I wish I had brought it up myself. Also, it should be moved to Castro's birth or death date instead. Zarbon 22:24, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
There is a real question as to whether "bigness" in a body politic is not an evil in itself, quite aside from the policies pursued in its name. ~ George F. Kennan

I certainly have enough self-confidence...I told myself that I shall either be a general at thirty, or that I shall not be alive by then. ~ Mikhail Tukhachevsky
- 3 because the strong hint of do or die trying lives inside this quote. Zarbon 02:52, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
