Rusty Sarnes jokes about being outnumbered 3-1 by females in his own house, but the former Havana High School and Lincoln Land Community College two-sport standout doesn't have a clipboard full of regrets to talk about. Sarnes did it his way and was very good at it.
Rusty Sarnes jokes about being outnumbered 3-1 by females in his own house, but the former Havana High School and Lincoln Land Community College two-sport standout doesn't have a clipboard full of regrets to talk about.
Sarnes did it his way and was very good at it.
He's back living in his hometown and working at the Caterpillar plant in Mapleton.
"We build a part for the new wind farms they're starting now," Sarnes said. "I've been doing that job for the past four or five months."
He has been employed by Caterpillar for 4½ years, and previously he was involving in building parts for the heads of engines.
The 6-foot-7 Sarnes was The State Journal-Register Class A Male Athlete of the Year following his senior year at Havana in 1994. He was a standout basketball player, and as a left-handed pitcher he was drafted in the 26th round by the San Diego Padres.
Sarnes elected to go to Lincoln Land Community College, where he continued to play both sports at a high level. At the end of his freshman season the Loggers finished third in the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II World Series in Millington, Tenn. Sarnes was drafted in the 30th round by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1995 but elected to return to LLCC for his sophomore year.
After playing both sports his sophomore year at Lincoln Land, Sarnes still wasn't ready to give up either. He got a scholarship to then-NCAA Division II Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville.
"I wanted to go play basketball," Sarnes said. "I wasn't done. I wanted to play. I wouldn't do it any differently. I wanted try to play both. I wouldn't change anything."
He was one of SIU-E's top basketball players as a junior, but during baseball season he hurt his shoulder. The Cougars went on to finish fifth in the NCAA Division II World Series.
Sarnes led the Cougars in scoring with a 14.1 average and was the No. 3 rebounder at 5.6 per game as a senior. He earned honorable mention honors in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. Due to the arm trouble, he pitched sparingly with the baseball team and was 3-1 with a 6.27 earned run average in just under 40 innings.
"If I could go back, I'd get surgery on my arm and go from there," the 32-year-old Sarnes said. "There's a little bit of regret (about that), but I don't think I'd change anything."
After graduation Sarnes worked for M&M Vending, a Macomb-based business, for a while. He also coached the freshman baseball team at Macomb High School as well as the grade-school girls basketball and freshman-sophomore baseball at Havana.
"A lot of kids you have to really baby," he said about his coaching experience. "You can't get on them for a lot of things. Our coaches would scream and yell. You had to take it."
Sarnes and his wife, Amber, have two daughters. Taylor will soon turn 7 and Jaylynn recently turned 3. Rusty Sarnes helps coach Taylor's basketball team and plans to help with the softball time in the spring.
He says he still plays basketball and a little slow-pitch softball. He recently took part in the Glory Days Classic alumni basketball tournament at Petersburg PORTA.
"I play once in a while," Sarnes said. "We had 22 guys for one team. A lot of them were older guys.
"It was a fun idea. Next year we'll do a lot better. We'll get younger guys. I was the fourth-youngest guy we had."
When asked if he was in shape, Sarnes said, "Not really."
Playing sports are just for fun nowadays. As the girls get older, he knows there will be more and more running around. And as for the thought of adding a son to the Sarnes brood . . .
"I have a wife and two beautiful kids," he said. "I don't know if I could handle three girls. I'm outnumbered as it is."

Jeffrey Brison is Program Coordinator for Cultural Studies at Queen's University and a founding member of the North American Cultural Diplomacy Initiative (NACDi). An Associate Professor of History at Queen's, he focuses on Canadian-American relations, cultural philanthropy, and the history of cultural policy formation in Canada and the United States. He is author of Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Canada: American Philanthropy and the Arts and Letters in Canada, a study that explores the influence of private American philanthropy on the making of a national culture in Canada. His current study, North Atlantic Men, examines the role philanthropic foundations played in fostering extra-national intellectual and cultural networks of power that connected Canada, the United States, and Great Britain from the end of the First World War to the early years of the Cold War. The study thus explores the function of U.S. philanthropy in the explicitly internationalist construction and reinforcement of the bonds of kinship and culture that were the moorings for the racialized imagined community that has, historically, been described by Winston Churchill and both Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt (among many others) as the civilization of "English-speaking peoples," and has recently been theorized critically as the "Anglosphere."

Occupational Characteristics and the Obesity Wage Penalty
Vanderbilt Law and Economics Research Paper No. 16-12
42 Pages Posted: 21 Jan 2014 Last revised: 30 Apr 2016
Date Written: October 7, 2015
This paper demonstrates that obese women are more likely to work in jobs that emphasize physical activity, but they are less likely to work in jobs that emphasize public interaction. The same patterns in occupational characteristics do not exist for obese men. In light of prior literature finding an unexplained wage gap between obese women and non-obese women, these results are particularly relevant since physical activity jobs pay relatively less on average, while public interaction jobs pay relatively more. Moreover, the few obese women who work in public interaction occupations receive lower wages than non-obese women, and their wage penalty offsets the general premium to working in a job emphasizing public interaction. Together, these results suggest that taste-based discrimination may be driving occupational sorting among obese women and, as a result, is at least one source of the wage penalty experienced by obese women.

A while back, Justine was really smart and ordered us tickets to the final game of the 2015 Women's World Cup. We had been to a game already, and the atmosphere about the city for the event had been really great. Of course, we had hoped that Canada might make the final, but that was not to be.
The game itself ended up not being that great - it was over by the 16 minute mark - and the US fans were very annoying, but still it was fun to be there and we had a good time. I only had my iPhone, so the pictures are only OK at best.
As I'm sure you've heard, we've had a really hot, dry start to the summer after a winter with very little snow. So in this part of the world, that means forest fires. There are a couple big ones going within a few hours drive of the city, and as I mentioned in the last post I woke Sunday to crazy smoke in the city. It had gotten worse over the course of the day, and you could even see it in the dome. After leaving the game, we were shocked to see that the smoke was so heavy you couldn't even see the buildings downtown any longer. And it smelled like a camp fire everywhere.
This is the craziest thing I've ever seen in the city, and unless we get some rain soon, this isn't going to end.

TRADE IN ACTION July 27, 2017
By Alvaro Morales Salto-Weis
British Secretary of State for International Trade, Liam Fox, arrived in Washington this week to meet with members of the Trump administration and lay the groundwork for a US-UK post Brexit trade deal.
British Secretary of State for International Trade, Liam Fox, arrived in Washington this week to meet with members of the Trump administration and lay the groundwork for a US-UK post Brexit trade deal.
Also, the White House completed its selection process for the top ranks at the USTR late last week. A final decision on steel trade policy may have to wait: President Trump said his administration was first "waiting till we get everything finished up between healthcare and taxes and maybe even infrastructure".WHAT TO WATCH
Canada's NAFTA objectives are expected to be revealed on August 14. The first round of the negotiations between the United States, Canada and Mexico will take place in Washington, DC from August 16 – 20, 2017. The European Commission is aiming to harden its stance toward Chinese takeovers of European corporations in vital sectors. The new rules are expected to be detailed at the "State of the European Union" speech in September.
As the cost for a college education skyrocketed, the need for highly skilled workers has skyrocketed with it. Even as manufacturing employment continues its decades-long decline (having shrunk by 35.72 percent since January 1980), hundreds of thousands of jobs in the industry remain unoccupied. This has created a potentially devastating perfect storm for manufacturers in need of skilled labor. What is the proposed solution? Apprenticeships. The Trump administration has recently revealed its desire to boost the number of US apprenticeships from 505,000 to 5 million over the next 5 years. These programs will produce highly skilled workers for a fraction of the cost that would be paid for a college education.

Arrested or given a ticket in Florida on Spring Break? The Law Office of Eric Reisinger is here to help.
You decided to come to Florida and enjoy our beautiful beaches, sun, restaurants and night life. What you did not expect was to be arrested or given a ticket for a minor charge, like possession of alcohol by a person younger than 21 years of age, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, possession of an open container, or possession of false identification. The police will give you a ticket and tell you to pay a fine and everything is done and you will not have to come back to Florida, but what the police may not tell you is that some of these charges are criminal and will appear on your record. Since you may live out of state and are just visiting, you may think that this will be the best solution. It is not! Just because they are offering a quick fix does not make it the best solution. It is always best to hire an attorney when you have a pending criminal matter. The attorney will help you evaluate your case to determine what the right thing to do is. Another big factor in deciding whether to hire an attorney is if you have to come back to Florida. In most misdemeanor cases, the attorney can waiver your appearance in court and handle the case without you having to come back to Florida.
Remember, if you're visiting here on spring break, have fun, but if you get into trouble, the Law Office of Eric Reisinger is here to help you or loved ones get out of trouble.

Hannah Waddington - Regional Manager
"It's never too late to change career paths. I initially joined RSG as a Relationship Manager, and spent a little time in the Academy to get a better understanding of how the company worked as a whole. Very quickly however, I realised I was doing something I really loved, and I've never looked back. It's always worth having a go; you never know where even the smallest opportunity will lead you."
James Knight - Principal Consultant, Finance
"If you have the desire and the drive, you can progress really quickly at RSG. Within 4 years, I progressed from an Academy Trainee to Principal Consultant, managing my own team. Don't be afraid of ambition; RSG will help you become whatever you want. All you have to do is choose."
Alexander Maropoulos Consultant
"The RSG Academy is an ideal platform for finding your feet in a fast paced, ever changing role. From Day 1, the Academy gave me the foundation to hit the ground running in whichever team best suits your skills, and allowed me to both identify and overcome challenges that came my way. The support and advice I received during my time there assisted me in understanding and appreciating the complexity of the Recruitment Process and the fundamentals that need to be in every single successful search. It absolutely helped mould me into the consultant I am today, and really gets you performing "the RSG way."
Jonny Cast Consultant
"During my interview process, finding the right agency for me was critical. After experiencing other agencies trying to "sell me the dream" I decided that RSG would be the right company and cultural fit for me. The preparation and training I have been given throughout the Academy and ongoing has been crucial for my success. If you are looking to start a career in recruitment I would highly recommend RSG."
Mathis Aime Trainee Recruitment Consultant
"I joined RSG for its culture and work atmosphere as well as for the rewards and recognition for hard work. The Academy is a fantastic platform as it teaches you how to become a competitive but personable recruiter and after a few months, you can make the transition into the area that suits you most. The Academy lets you be you!"
Ella Greenslade Trainee Recruitment Consultant
"Being completely new to recruitment in general, the RSG academy was the perfect stepping stone. It allows you to not only learn at your own pace but take control of the direction you want to go in. From day one, you get stuck in but there are always people on hand to make sure you're confident in what you're doing. The combination of classroom based learning and real life application allows you to pick things up very quickly. You don't feel new in the business for long!"
Rosie Fearnley Recruitment Consultant
"Having no previous experience in recruitment before joining RSG, I was a little apprehensive about the challenge ahead. However, from the off in the Academy, to where I am now, I have had nothing but continued support from everyone around me. The training in the Academy was professional and thorough and gave me a great foundation to build on. My time in the Academy allowed me to feel fully prepared and confident moving forward within the business."
Scott Saringson Recruitment Consultant
"Having been with my previous employer for 7 years I was sceptical of the change into RSG. From day 1 at the academy I was given the tools, training and support I needed to succeed from the off. Training was carried out at a pace I felt comfortable with and there was no pressure applied and/or targets I had to hit. For anyone thinking about a career in recruitment, but worried about the change, I would highly recommend RSG as they have given me a strong foundation to build a successful career."

Skywatch Friday #20
These two eagles came to a screeching halt right over my head. And when I say screeching I mean that literally - they were both hollering at the top of their lungs as they approached. If you've ever heard that sound, there's no mistaking the source so I knew exactly what I was about to see before I even looked up.

New NCA Battery Technology Focuses on Powering E-MTBs
KARLSTEIN, Germany – Electric Mountainbikes are the big growth sector for the years to come. That's the strong belief by many. However, this e-bike category has specific technical needs. Like a transmission system that is able to withstand the torque powers needed for getting around in rough, hilly terrain. This also calls for batteries with capacities which go far beyond the 400 to 500Wh now on offer. For that Nickel Cobalt Aluminum (NCA) battery technology has been developed.
The NCA battery technology is developed by BMZ; Europe's biggest maker of battery packs for, among many other applications, e-bikes. This Germany based company operates what it calls the "E.Volution Center." Here some 150 specialists in innovative lithium-ion battery technologies are working. Their latest achievement is named the NCA lithium-ion battery technology.
30% more capacity
What the new NCA technology brings and how it works is explained in a recent company announcement by Sven Bauer, CEO and Founder of the BMZ Group. He says "Currently e-bikes primarily use NMC type batteries with nickel, manganese, cobalt on the cathode and graphite on the anode. The BMZ Group has developed this technology further, which is why we use a NCA – nickel cobalt aluminum type, because it has 30% more capacity at the same battery dimensions and weight. It results in the fact that NCA batteries offer 30% more range, or they are 30% smaller and lighter."
Major leap in battery technology
Next to the usage of NCA – nickel cobalt aluminum – at the battery cathode BMZ has also changed the other main battery part; the anode. Sven Bauer "At the same time, we replaced the graphite on the anode with silicon, which also boosts capacity."
All this leads to batteries that have the capacities to properly propel e-MTBs under all circumstances. Next to that it also brings batteries that can be smaller and lighter and with that create the possibility to integrate them invisible in frames.

Four months ago, Phil Housley was an assistant coach as the Nashville Predators were in the Stanley Cup final. Now he's a first-year head coach of the Buffalo Sabres, a team that hasn't won a playoff series in 10 1/2 years and hasn't even played in one since 2011.
The weight of that history is heavy as the Sabres went 3-7-2 in October with a roster that includes several players who have done a lot of losing here since 2013.
"All I can judge is what I see is right now," Housley said after his team practiced for 70 minutes Tuesday in HarborCenter. "And I see a team that at key times in the game, we sort of break. We have to have a mental toughness in that area where we can't crack and that's part of the culture, too, building that reassurance. Just continue to play the way we're playing. We don't have to do anything out of the ordinary."
Housley, a huge Bills fan, gave it up to Sean McDermott & Co. for getting to 5-2 and said his club can take a lesson from all the talking points surrounding the Bills' fast start.
"What is the thing they're talking about? It's their defense," he said. "That's what's changing things for them, creating turnovers. That's the point I'm getting at. We have to take pride in that area."
Housley said more emphasis has to come from his players in the defensive end.
"We have a lot of talent in that room to win hockey games," he said. "It's our play without the puck to me that has to get better ... We have to take pride in our defense, take pride in the fact if it's 1-1, 1-0 or 2-2 that we can play in those games. Right now, we're the ones cracking."
* * *
Housley was pleased with the practice, which feature several battle drills and got physical between players on several occasions.
"I thought we had a really good practice, he said. "Our leadership group led the way by example today and we're going to continue to need that. If we're going to turn this thing around, we have to compete in practice and I thought we did that today."

Justin Falk returned to practice fully and should be in the lineup to make his season debut Thursday in Arizona.
"He brings a physical element to our team that we may be missing back there," Housley said.
* * *
Nathan Beaulieu, Josh Gorges and Zach Bogosian remained injured on the Buffalo defense and Taylor Fedun was called up Tuesday from Rochester to head West with the team this week to Arizona and Dallas.
But Falk's return and Fedun's callup likely won't mark an end in the lineup for Matt Tennyson, who has no points and is minus-6 on the season while averaging 18:09 of ice time.
Tennyson, 27, played 21:05 Saturday and was minus-2, with his failure to handle a Jason Pominville pass directly leading to Joonas Donskoi's breakaway goal that opened the scoring a few seconds after a Buffalo power play.
Tennyson is a free agent signee who has previous NHL experience with San Jose and Carolina but was ticketed for Rochester. Although he has been a huge target on social media in recent days, he continues to have Housley's support.
"We're banged up back there, he's risen above the other players to get those minutes and he's going to continue to get them," Housley said. "Would he have liked to have that little bank pass after the power play expired? Yes. Those are mistakes we have to clean up. We have to be better and have just the awareness of where we are in the power play and the game. I like the way he's played and that's why he's earning those minutes."

Muslims and Christians Sharing the same God doesn't change anything about Christianity or your relationship with God...... It just (hopefully) changes the way people view the things they hear on the news....
Teaching them
1. Proverbs 18:2-3 Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions. Doing wrong leads to disgrace, and scandalous behavior brings contempt.
2. Proverbs 1:5-7 Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser. Let those with understanding receive guidance by exploring the meaning in these proverbs and parables, the words of the wise and their riddles. Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
3. Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
The mouth of a fool.
4. Proverbs 10:18-19 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
5. Proverbs 12:22-23 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
6. Proverbs 18:13 Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish.
7. Proverbs 29:20 There is more hope for a fool than for someone who speaks without thinking.
8. Isaiah 32:6 For the fool speaks folly, and his heart is busy with iniquity, to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the LORD, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
9. Proverbs 18:6-7 Fools' words get them into constant quarrels; they are asking for a beating. The mouths of fools are their ruin; they trap themselves with their lips.
They continue in their foolishness.
10. Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness.
Arguing with them
11. Proverbs 29:8-9 Mockers can get a whole town agitated, but the wise will calm anger. If a wise person takes a fool to court, there will be ranting and ridicule but no satisfaction.
12. Proverbs 26:4-5 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.
Trusting them
13. Proverbs 26:6-7 Trusting a fool to convey a message is like cutting off one's feet or drinking poison! A proverb in the mouth of a fool is as useless as a paralyzed leg.
14. Luke 6:39 Then Jesus gave the following illustration: "Can one blind person lead another? Won't they both fall into a ditch?
The difference between an intelligent man and a fool.
15. Proverbs 10:23-25 Doing wrong is fun for a fool, but living wisely brings pleasure to the sensible. Doing wrong is fun for a fool, but living wisely brings pleasure to the sensible. When the storms of life come, the wicked are whirled away, but the godly have a lasting foundation.
16. Proverbs 15:21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
17. Proverbs 14:8-10 The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception. Fools mock at making amends for sin, but goodwill is found among the upright.
18. Ecclesiastes 10:1-3 As dead flies cause even a bottle of perfume to stink, so a little foolishness spoils great wisdom and honor. A wise person chooses the right road; a fool takes the wrong one. You can identify fools just by the way they walk down the street!
Fools say there is no God.
19. Psalm 14:1 For the choir director: A psalm of David. Only fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!
20. Psalm 53:1 1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.
21. Psalm 74:18 Remember this, O LORD, that the enemy has reviled, And a foolish people has spurned Your name.
Can a Christian call someone a fool? This verse is speaking of unrighteous anger, which is a sin, but righteous anger is not a sin.
22. Matthew 5:22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,' is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.
23. Proverbs 28:26 Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.
24. Proverbs 29:11 Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.
25. Matthew 23:16-19 "Blind guides! What sorrow awaits you! For you say that it means nothing to swear 'by God's Temple,' but that it is binding to swear 'by the gold in the Temple. Blind fools! Which is more important–the gold or the Temple that makes the gold sacred? And you say that to swear 'by the altar' is not binding, but to swear 'by the gifts on the altar' is binding. How blind! For which is more important–the gift on the altar or the altar that makes the gift sacred?

Fools qoute the bible or other holy books like they are saying profound things.
Strategy is for the Rabbis to pretend to 'like Jesus as a good Jewish boy' while eliminating all that would claim that he is anything but a good Jew eg. divinity, pre-existence, sonship, uniqueness, savior capacity, etc.
but whosoever shall say thou fool, shall be danger of hell fire.
The word "fool" does not signify a man of weak parts, one that is very ignorant in things natural; this the word Raca imports; but a wicked reprobate man; in which sense Solomon often uses the word. The Persic version renders it here "wicked". There is a manifest gradation in the text from causeless anger in the breast, or reproachful words; and from thence to a censorious judging of a man's spiritual and eternal estate, which is what is here condemned. "Thou fool", is, thou wicked man, thou ungodly wretch, thou graceless creature, whose portion will be eternal damnation. Calling a man by such names was not allowed of by the Jews themselves, whose rules are:
``he that calls his neighbour a servant, let him be excommunicated; a bastard, let him be beaten with forty stripes; (evr) , "a wicked man", let him descend with him into his life or livelihood F26.''
Thou fool - Moreh, probably from מרה marah, to rebel, a rebel against God, apostate from all good. This term implied, among the Jews, the highest enormity, and most aggravated guilt. Among the Gentoos, such an expression was punished by cutting out the tongue, and thrusting a hot iron, of ten fingers breadth, into the mouth of the person who used it. Code of Gentoo Laws, chap. 15: sec. 2. p. 212.

5 excuses not to exercise during vacation – and how to argument against them
Summer is the time for vacation and weekend trips. Too often we hear friends, family and co-workers talking about their plans to be active during their vacation to show off a well-trained body on the beach, and to come back fitter and healthier. More often than not, these plans are forgotten during travels and our friends come back relaxed but are complaining about the lack of exercise. Our time off should be spent relaxing and but it doesn't have to be without physical activity.
That's why our partner Sport Scheck has identified 5 excuses for not exercising during vacation and how to argument against them:
1. There's no room in my luggage for sports equipment – Running
That shouldn't be a problem if you go running during your travels. Simply wear your running shoes already on the plane. A t-shirt and shirts have been packed anyways, right? Just make sure not to run during the day when sun ist the strongest. Sunrise or sunset runs are much nicer anyways.
2. I want to relax during my vacation – Yoga
Yoga is perfect for anyone wanting to slow down and leave the stress of the everyday routine behind. Watching your breath will help you to be more relaxed. No need for a yoga mat – your towel will do just fine.
3. It is way to hot for exercise – Watersports
35 degrees in the shadow? Perfect for watersports. You can choose between swimming, snorkeling, surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing or supping. What will you choose?
4. We're going on a city trip – Cycling/Running
City residents can exercise just as well. Explore the city of your choosing by bike, instead of the bus or a train. Many cities offer sighseeing bike tours. And why not check out the park next to your hotel for a morning run?
5. My partner doesn't like exercise – So what
Either you have to tell your partner how important exercise is for you, or you can motivate him/her to go on a hike followed by a romantic sunset picnic.

The Problem with Painkillers
Prescription Painkiller Abuse
During National Chiropractic Health Month, we're taking a look at the public health crisis caused by pain, and in particular the overuse of prescription painkillers. Prescription drug abuse is the number one cause of death in 17 U.S. states, surpassing motor vehicle accidents.
Numerous recent studies have shown the dangerous over reliance in the United States on prescription painkillers. Did you know that although Americans only make up 4.5% of the world's population, they consume 80% of the world's opioid supply? That means of all of the prescription painkillers in the world; Americans consume 80% of them! Over the last 20 years, there has been a 10-fold increase in the use of prescription painkillers. The United States is experiencing a national crisis – painkiller dependency, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has declared an "epidemic."
During 2013 alone, drug overdoses accounted for almost 44,000 deaths in the United States, an increase of 6% from 2012. So what's going on? Why does the United States have such a problem with prescription painkillers?
Well, for one, it's never been easier to get a prescription for drugs. Studies have shown that 48% of Americans have used at least one prescription drug in the last 30 days. Even more shocking – 1 in 10 Americans admit to having used at least 5 prescription drugs in the last 30 days. This can multiply the risk for drug-related health issues exponentially.
"We know that the number of adverse drug events a patient is likely to experience increases as the number of medications they are taking increases," says Anne Burns, Senior Vice President for Professional affairs at the American Pharmacists Association. "You've got everything from potential interactions between medications to timing issues, taking a variety of medications throughout the day."
This shows that not only are many Americans using prescription drugs, but also they're overusing them in dangerous combinations.
Another reason that painkillers are so readily available for many people is the lack of attention by many medical professionals. Although this prescription drug problem exists, many Doctors are still willing to give patients prescriptions, even if they aren't necessary. A common trend that exists among opiate drug users is that they will experience an injury or an accident that will require prescription painkillers. But, rather than using painkillers as a temporary way to manage the pain, they become dependent on them. The fact is – most painkillers have very addictive properties.
Pain Treatment without Medications
Although there may be times that a prescription drug may be needed, painkillers do not treat the condition, they only mask the pain. So, with approximately 10 million Americans suffer with chronic, persistent or disabling pain, what's the solution? Many conditions, such as chronic back pain, neck pain, knee pain, and neuropathy, can be treated without drugs and the side effects of taking prescription painkillers.
At the Davis Clinic of Chiropractic in The Villages, Florida, we provide an alternative to drugs and invasive procedures. Our treatment for chronic pain conditions doesn't mask the pain, it treats it. We have helped thousands of patients find relief from back pain, neck pain, knee pain and the numbness and debilitating symptoms of neuropathy, and we can help you relieve your chronic pain once and for all.
Break the cycle of addictive, harmful medications. Give us a call today at (352) 430-2121 to see how we can help you lead a pain free life!

Fritz Zwicky's Solar Orbiting Pellets16 Oct 2017, 13:08 UTC
The world's unexpected reaction to the launching of Sputnik on October 4, 1957 proved to be of immense propaganda value to the Soviet Union (see "Sputnik: The Launch of the Space Age"). People around the world could clearly see for themselves in the night sky this first artificial Earth satellite and the even brighter spent rocket which launched it into orbit challenging the American image of technological preeminence taken for granted by so many. With reaction to the launch of Sputnik (and its implications for national security) bordering on near panic among some in the US, a response to the Soviet challenge was desperately needed.
The launch of Sputnik on October 4, 1957 made headlines across the globe and shocked many Americans.
On October 11, 1957 the Eisenhower administration officially announced that an upcoming test flight of the Naval Research Laboratory's Vanguard rocket would attempt to orbit a small satellite (see "Vintage Micro: The First Nanosatellite"). But with the scheduled launch date still a couple of months away, the American public was desperate to see a more immediate answer to Sputnik. As it turned out, they would not have to wait too long due to the efforts of a gifted ...

MLK Day read-in celebrates stories of diversity, tolerance
WWU librarian describes "The Journey," featured at MLK Day Read-In
Hear stories describing the struggle for racial equality and civil rights, along with books that offer messages of peace and tolerance, at the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Read-In for children and teens at Village Books in Fairhaven.
Western Washington University students from the Center for Service Learning are assisting with the free event, scheduled for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday in the downstairs Readings Gallery at the bookstore, 1200 11th St. Many of the volunteer readers are international students.
"The theme is tolerance and diversity and the civil rights movement," said Claire McElroy-Chesson, children's programming director at Village Books. "All the books have that theme running through them."
WWU students will read stories selected by Sylvia Tag, a WWU librarian. In addition, children can bring their own books on the topic to share, McElroy-Chesson said. It's OK to stay for the whole event or just drop in for a story or two.
Tag said she chose works by Kadir Nelson, who is known for his books on African American culture and history, and stories about Coretta Scott King, widow of the slain civil rights leader. But many of her selections have more subtle themes, such as a book of world religions and "Enemy Pie," whose author Derek Munson lives in Bellingham.
"One I really like is 'Down the Road,' by Alice Schertle," Tag said. " It's just a book about a family. It doesn't hit you on the head. It's such a great book because it's unpredictable. It's an African American family, but none of that matters. It's just about peace."
McElroy-Chesson's favorite story is President Barack Obama's 2010 picture book "Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters."
U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett, will read a story at about 11:30 a.m. for this, the 13th read-in.
There also will be crafts and coloring activities, such as a bookmark to keep, McElroy-Chesson said.
One featured story will be the new picture book, "The Journey," Francesca Sanna's tale of a Middle Eastern refugee family that is fleeing conflict in their home country. They leave with the possessions they can put in their car and arrive at their new home with nothing.
"That's definitely a staff favorite," McElroy-Chesson said. "It's a gorgeous book and it's so important right now."

You don't need anyone's affection or approval in order to be good enough. If you live off a man's compliments, you'll die from his criticism. When someone rejects or abandons or judges you, it isn't actually about you. It's about them and their own insecurities, limitations, and needs, and you don't have to internalize that. Your worth isn't contingent upon other people's acceptance of you — it's something inherent. You exist, and therefore, you matter. You're allowed to voice your thoughts and feelings. You're allowed to assert your needs and take up space. You're allowed to hold onto the truth that who you are is exactly enough. You didn't just happen, you are the sum total of the choices you've made. And you're allowed to remove anyone from your life who makes you feel otherwise.
You don't ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn't matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend or new acquaintance – you don't have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It's one thing if a person owns up to their behavior and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they have to go. But don't expect them to keep loving you, don't keep pining for their affection. Stop demanding their attention. Removing someone cannot be a tool to get someone's attention.
There is a big difference between giving up and letting go. Giving up means selling yourself short. It means allowing fear and struggle to limit your opportunities and keep you stuck. Letting go means freeing yourself from something that is no longer serving you. It means removing toxic people and belief systems from your life so that you can make room for relationships and ideas that are conducive to your well-being and happiness. Giving up reduces your life. Letting go expands it. Giving up is imprisoning. Letting go is liberation. Giving up is self-defeat. Letting go is self-care. So the next time you make the decision to release something or someone that is stifling your happiness and growth, and a person has the audacity to accuse you of giving up or being weak, remind yourself of the difference. Remind yourself that you don't need anyone's permission or approval to live your life in the way that feels right. No one has the authority to tell you who to be or how to live. No one gets to decide what your life should look like or who should be a part of it…
But nor does anyone get to judge you for sticking it out. Because beyond giving up and letting go, there is a third option: taking control. Stand up, know who you are, and face the situation. Don't give up, and don't let go. Own it.
Start living. You may not have ended up where you intended to go. But trust, for once, that you have ended up where you needed to be. Trust that you are in the right place at the right time. Trust that your life is enough. Trust that You are enough. So stop comparing, stop feeling guilty, and definitely stop seeking people's approval, love, attention. Its unnecessary, and unattractive. Own your life, and take pride.

If you can really explain to me why you believe and why I should believe that the Sun is inhabited by these Quaker-like people, I want to know. Please let me know.
Let me know how Satan can be the half-brother of Jesus if God has only one "only begotten" Son. I really want to know this.
Let me know how you can believe a book translated by Joseph Smith when in fact that"s not what the book says.
Let me know how you can achieve sinless perfection.
Now I just want to leave you with two things. I've asked you five questions I hope you will try to answer for me. I'll get back to you, but I want to tell you first of all about another doctrine of atonement and about how you can fulfill the "celestial law" as you call it. The doctrine of atonement of Jesus Christ has nothing to do with the doctrine of atonement as taught by Brigham Young and the "Church" of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His doctrine was Adam was not God, Jesus was God, and He was the "last Adam"; He became a man and went to the cross and in my place and in yours; and He was the substitutionary atonement for our sin; that by putting my faith in Him I am justified even though I am guilty. He rose from the dead to give me eternal life; He atoned for my sin; that is the doctrine of atonement of the New Testament. It has no resemblance to the doctrine of atonement as taught by Brigham Young.
Secondly, how can I reach sinless perfection? How can you be counted 100% sinless? There"s only one way – "imputed righteousness": I have no righteousness of my own. When Jesus took my sin on the cross He gave me His righteousness. I can only be counted righteous according to the righteousness of God in Christ. I'm as guilty as anybody, but God counts me as having been righteous and having kept His perfect Law because His Son did it on my behalf. He gave me His righteousness; it"s imputed, it"s not earned, I can"t earn it and neither can you.
There is a doctrine of atonement and there is indeed a Law of God that requires freedom from sin and sinfulness, but I cannot see how theBook of Mormon can fulfill either one; I see how the New Testament fulfills both.
I"m willing to talk to you. I"m willing to hear what you have to say, I"m willing to answer your questions about my doctrine of atonement and my view of the Law of God, are you willing to answer the five questions that I've asked you?
God bless you and thank you.

Mayor highlights environment in major speech
The year is getting off to a promising start! On January 28, 2019, Mayor Tom Koch mentioned several green initiatives in his "State of the City" address. They include issues that QCAN has been advocating for, including a plan to increase the fraction of our electricity sourced from wind and solar, called green municipal aggregation, and the creation of a group to study the feasibility of collecting food waste in a separate bin on trash day. He also wants to ban plastic bags in Quincy, plant more trees, protect marshland as a hedge against sea level rise, and improve the energy efficiency of city buildings and vehicles. Read his full comments below:
The environment we leave our children and grandchildren remains one of our most enduring challenges. It is also those very same young people of today who inspire us to act.
I was fortunate enough last year to sit with students at Central Middle School who had just completed a project asking them to identify solutions to a major problem we face as a society. The passion and knowledge these students shared with me was truly extraordinary and has stayed with me all these months later.
The students spoke of the devastating impact of discarded plastic on our environment, particularly on our ocean ecosystems and the chain reaction of widespread consequences caused by an unhealthy ocean. Thanks to the passion of these young people and that of many of others in our community, our administration will present to the City Council in the coming weeks a ban on single-use plastic bags and a ban on single-use plastic alcohol containers.
The students also talked about the dangers of greenhouse gas emissions and their near and long-term implications for all of us. This is nothing new. But listening to young people talk so passionately about it gives me great hope for our future and should drive all of us to act now.
To that end, based on a discussion started by the City Council some months ago, we will present legislation that will allow our residents to receive electricity from renewable or clean energy sources. This energy aggregation program, which will give our residents a choice in how their electricity is generated, will not only help our environment but also holds great potential for cost-savings on monthly electric bills.
And it was also the Council that recently began a discussion about the potential of a citywide composting program. Working in collaboration with the Council and a community-based task force supported by the Quincy Climate Action Network, we'll conduct a feasibility study with the goal of piloting an organic waste diversion or composting program.
Two years ago, we installed LED lights on all 6,000 of our street lights. Five years ago, we installed solar panels on more than a dozen of our school buildings, creating more than 2 megawatts of power. We invested through what's called net-metering credits in solar fields in Southeastern Massachusetts, saving the City millions of dollars in energy costs.
Our first electric car-changing stations will be installed at the new South-West Middle School and the new Hancock Parking Garage. We'll continue to explore higher efficiency practices when it comes to the city's vehicle fleet and ensure new buildings – including a new public safety headquarters – are built to the highest efficiency standard possible.
These programs point toward our future, but we must also move to address the environmental threats we face today. The storms of last March – and others in recent years – show without a doubt that our community's 27 miles of coastline needs immediate protection. This year, we'll present to the City Council a funding request to rebuild 8,000 linear feet of seawalls along some of our most vulnerable areas from Merrymount and Houghs Neck – seawalls built higher and stronger than those that currently exist.
We also finalize a five-year sustainability plan that touches on virtually every natural threat we face and how we plan to address it – from coastal storms to inland flooding in places like West Quincy. That includes studying the potential of a regional hurricane barrier that would protect all Boston Harbor communities – the first step of which includes planning money currently before the City Council.
Protecting our coast and other vulnerable areas ties closely to the health of our existing natural resources – the acres upon acres of tidal wetlands, our freshwater brooks and ponds, our passive open spaces. This is part of the reason why we proposed expanding the role of the Park Department to incorporate the stewardship of these assets as part of what will be called the Department of Natural Resources. The proposal, pending before the City Council, creates a management structure that puts the responsibility of protecting and enhancing these resources into a single department. The health of our wetlands is an absolutely critical component to protecting our coastline, and their viability should be entrusted to a designated City department.
Protecting our environment also means a substantial expansion of our tree planting efforts – the health of our urban forest is critically important for our quality of life and our environment.
QCAN to Cosponsor Documentary Film on Anti-Fracking Activism
December 28, 2018
Can David still beat Goliath, even in a day when Goliath has acquired wealth and power far beyond the imaginings of the Biblical villain? That question lies at the heart of the documentary film Unfractured, which will be shown at two Quincy libraries in January. The 2017 film, cosponsored by Quincy Climate Action Network, Fore River Residents Against Compressor Station (FRRACS), and the Thomas Crane Public Library, will screen at the Adams Shore library branch, 519 Sea Street, at 7 p.m. on Monday, January 7. It will also screen at the main branch, 40 Washington Street, at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, January 16. Admission is free, and all are welcome.

Green Municipal Aggregation: Letter to the Quincy Sun
Dear Editor,
Quincy city government has substantially increased the energy efficiency of city buildings and operations and its use of renewable energy. Now, as the Sun reports ("City Eyes More Renewable Energy," Oct. 25, 2018), the city is considering a move that would do even more to reduce the greenhouse gases that, by fueling increasingly violent weather and sea level rise, are threatening life and property here.

Compressor's health study panned at public meeting
About 120 skeptical citizens, including four QCAN members, packed the cafeteria of Quincy High School on the snowy night of November 15, 2018. They were there to hear officials from the state health and environmental protection departments and the Metropolitan Area Planning Council unveil the first results of a study predicting the effects of the proposed Fore River Compressor Station on public health in Quincy, Weymouth, Braintree, and beyond. The station is intended to increase the capacity of a system of natural-gas pipelines stretching from New Jersey to Nova Scotia. The station would be powered by a natural-gas fired engine that would produce exhaust.
Quincy takes first step towards curbside composting
Huzzah! On November 13th, 2018, the Quincy City Council voted unanimously to create a task force to study curbside food waste pickup. The supportive letters that QCAN friends wrote to their ward councilors and the councilors-at-large no doubt made that happen, so thank you to all who made their opinions heard! Thank you also to Ward 6 Councilor William Harris, who introduced the resolution, and to Ian Cain, who amended it, suggesting the task force study the pros and cons of building a food-waste recycling facility right here in Quincy.
Parking tweaks could save money and fight climate change
Minimum parking requirements are rules set by the city spelling out the fewest off-street parking spaces that a new or rezoned property must have. They are designed to be very high – to guarantee plenty of parking even at the busiest times – meaning that most of the time, there is an overabundance of spaces.
These very specific requirements – Quincy requires a bowling alley to have four parking spaces per lane! – sound scientific, but they are rarely based on the needs of their communities. In Quincy Center, for example, 37% of households don't even own a car, and the neighborhood averages 0.88 cars per household. But even the lowest parking minimums in this neighborhood specify at least one parking space per household in residential buildings, meaning that many families are forced to pay for parking spaces they don't need.

When people think of God they have many views of God from a loving grandfather to an evil taskmaster. Many people do not get these views of God from what the Bible reveals about God but from either parts of scripture or their own concept of what they think God is like. Jesus tells us that God is a loving father (Matthew 6:9) which was not the idea of those in Jesus day. Because God loves us some people leave out that God is also a God who disciplines and punishes. Some have even written books on how because of Jesus you will not face any punishment for any sin you have done. Yes for those who accept Christ God removes His wrath (Romans 8:1) but as a loving Father He will still discipline His children. We will be talking about the Hand of God and the reason is because God is going to discipline and punish people depending on His relationship with them. Our culture does not like to talk about a God who punishes but the Bible teaches it and we will see today that the people will have a warning if they choose to repent.
Read Isaiah 1:21-23 How the faithful city has become a whore,[a]she who was full of justice! Righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers. 22 Your silver has become dross, your best wine mixed with water.23 Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe and runs after gifts. They do not bring justice to the fatherless, and the widow's cause does not come to them.
1) The Hand of God is against Corruption
Most of us would agree that God is against things that we call corruption like politicians who lie and get away with it or people who murder or steal, but God is calling out corruption in people who think their lives are decent. Isaiah says they went "From Faithful to Un-faithful". The first thing we notice is that in God's eyes they have abandoned the relationship. Again, they did not see it that way because they did not see their actions as being detrimental to the relationship. God is not up in Heaven waiting for people to arrive He is actively participating in the world He created but also with humanity who He has made a way to be back in a relationship with. This is one area that separates Christianity from all other religions because when we die we do not just get Heaven we get God. My mom has moved several times and when I go and visit her I am not visiting her because of the house I want to be where my mom is. The God of the Bible is a relational God who longs for a marriage type relationship with His creation.
Revelation 19:7-9 and Isaiah 54:5 are two examples where we are called the bride and God is the groom. There is no more intimate relationship that can take place between humans than for a man and a woman to give of themselves fully to each other in marriage. God calls them a runaway wife who is no longer faithful to the one she was committed to.
Isaiah then says they went from Justice to poor treatment of people. How they were treating people went against just basic human concern. It was all about their gain without any thought of how they were exploiting people to make their lives easier. To drive the point home Isaiah says that they are Silver that has become dross and they are wine mixed with water. Isaiah is telling them they went from being valuable to something that was worthless. It may have still looked like silver and it may have looked like wine but it was worthless. Many church goers look like Christians but they have been so corrupted by the world that they are worthless. We are here to be salt and light to the world to point them to Jesus but when we have become just like the world we have nothing to offer the world that needs the truth not only told to them but lived out in front of them.
Matthew 5:13 You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
We can complain about the way the world is going but we as Christians are the ones who preserve society from rotting but when we become more like the world then we are the ones to blame because we are useless to a society that so desperately needs us. Isaiah calls them Lovers of money because they did not care about the orphans or the widows who suffered because of the people that took advantage of them and the money they kept for themselves.
Isaiah 1:24- 26 Therefore the Lord declares, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: "Ah, I will get relief from my enemies and avenge myself on my foes. 25 I will turn my hand against you and will smelt away your dross as with lye and remove all your alloy. 26 And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city."
2) The Hand of God is for Cleaning
God calls them enemies which would have been shocking since they were considered the chosen nation of God. God is letting them know that he is going to treat them like His enemies because the way they are acting is not any different than those who reject God. Most people do not see themselves as enemies of God and many believe that everyone is accepted by God but that is not what the Bible teaches.
Romans 5:10-11 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
For people to go from being an enemy of God to His child than reconciliation has to take place. Many think that God loves them just how they are but if God could love us just how we are then Christ died for nothing. God does not overlook sin He did something about it and a cleaning has to take place in our lives in order for us to stand before a Holy God. Lye was a strong solution for cleaning and we must be cleaned in order to be in relationship with God. This is something God has to do in you and for you because you cannot do it yourself and Isaiah even says that ,"God will make you into a righteous city." You cannot earn favor with God by your own actions and your own effort it has to be something that is done to you by Him.
"I will turn my hand against you"
The first way God turns His hand against us is in discipline like a loving parent.
Hebrews 12:5-8,11 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives." It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
God will discipline His own children if they continue to do things that go against His will. His goal is not to hurt you but to remove the sinful habits in your life that are actually hurting yourself and your witness to others. If you are walking away from God and you have not experienced any discipline then you might want to ask if you really belong to Him. Some of us wonder why God does not act against some of the people in our world and the simple answer is that they do not belong to Him. God will discipline His children because they belong to Him just like we discipline our children and not our neighbor's child. (Although we want to) To avoid Gods hand of discipline we need to discipline ourselves.
2 Peter 1:5-9 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue,[e] and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if these qualities[f] are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.
One of the ways you discipline yourself is by seeing yourself the way God sees you. Imagine you have a brand new outfit, you would not work in the yard in that outfit you get clothes that are older or that can be ruined. When we see ourselves as dirty and grungy then we tend to engage in activities that are fitting to how we perceive ourselves. Satan wants you to see yourself as being in the dirty clothes but God wants you to realize that He has made you something new and so He wants you to act according to who you are. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Isaiah 1:27-31 Zion shall be redeemed by justice, and those in her who repent, by righteousness.28 But rebels and sinners shall be broken together, and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.29 For they[e] shall be ashamed of the oaks that you desired; and you shall blush for the gardens that you have chosen. 30 For you shall be like an oak whose leaf withers, and like a garden without water. 31 And the strong shall become tinder, and his work a spark, and both of them shall burn together, with none to quench them.
3) Receiving The Hand of God is a Choice you make
Those who repent will be redeemed, which means bought back, by righteousness. Again the terminology is that we are separated from God and we have to be restored. God is the one who purchases us back. (1 Corinthians 6:20) But those who rebel will be broken, which means they will Perish. This is not a popular idea that God would cast people away from Himself but since the point of God buying us back is to have a relationship with Him why would people want to be with Him for all eternity? Scripture repeatedly talks about Gods wrath so we cannot ignore that truth. (John 3:36; Romans 2:5, 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:9)
John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
Only through what Jesus did on the cross for us can the wrath of God be removed from us. We cannot stand before God by our actions no matter how good we think they are but only by the actions of Jesus who died on the cross for us.
Malachi 3:2 But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap.
Isaiah says that they will be ashamed. The people were worshiping other gods and they were gods that were represented in trees in a forest. They were seeking power from the trees instead of going to God for their strength. We all have a tendency to go to other gods even though it really is embarrassing when you think about it. As a glutton I have a tendency to go to food for comfort. Think of how sick that really is and how embarrassing that is that I go to food instead of going to God. Some of them were worshiping these gods in private where they thought no one would ever know but they will be revealed and they will blush when they realize God sees all that they did. Numbers 32:23 says your sins will find you out and as we talked about last week sins are leading you down a path you do not want to go. If they are not exposed on earth they will be exposed before God when we stand before Him. Christians will not have their sins exposed (Romans 8:1) they will only take with them into eternity the things they did for God. (1 Corinthians 3)
The ways of the world seem to bring life and pleasure for a time but they will eventually leave you dry and destroyed. Isaiah says these things will not make it and they will add to the eternal fire. Hollywood should show us that money and popularity are not enough to fulfill us as we watch them longing for something more while at the same time rejecting God. We tend to see people in the world and think that if we get some of the same things as them that we will be fulfilled.
Jeremiah 2:13 for my people have committed two evils, they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.
The worship of false gods will make one feel foolish on the day they stand before the living God because only God can give life all other things you go after will seem to bring satisfaction but they will not last. In John 14:6 Jesus said He is the life. The only thing that will fulfill your thirst is Christ.
Both of them (the god and the worshiper of the god) shall burn together with none to quench them. The picture is painted of the gods they worshiped being burned up for all eternity with a flame that will not extinguish. This is not popular to talk about but Jesus talked about it to warn us.
Mark 9:45-48 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, 48 'where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.' (See Also Revelation 19:20; 20:15)
For those who choose not to turn to God then the wrath of God will be on them but for those who are His children Gods Hand of discipline will come when they turn back to the things of the world to fine fulfillment. For those who do choose the hand of God for salvation you can know that He will guide you for all eternity.
Isaiah 41:13 For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand, it is I who say to you, "Fear not, I am the one who helps you."
God wants His people to be pure and faithful to Him. We have to be careful to not allow the things of the world to creep into our lives which will corrupt us. What have you allowed into your life that is corrupting you that is making you worthless to the world? What needs to be cleaned in you? Do you have a relationship with God like a husband to a wife? The things of this world will not only be un- fulfilling to you but they will cause you to be separated from God for all eternity if you stay in your rebellion toward him. The Hand of God is for His wrath to be displayed, for disciplining His children and for reaching down to save us and for never letting us go.

I may not be a snowboarder, but I know what it's like to take a "buddy trip". Gathering up the guys, piling in a couple of vehicles, and going out and getting it done. I have a couple of buddies who go on annual trips out West to chase the powder and I've always wanted to go. I always picture something similar to our fishing trips, but heading downhill instead of fishing downstream.
When this movie popped up on my FB feed, I had to give it a watch. Everyone has a reason they chase their passions. These guys just decided to make a movie to tell us why they do what they do, and why they go to the lengths they do to get it done.
