How does a Super Rugby coach corral a roster capable of making the playoffs? Richard Knowler talks to Crusaders mentor Todd Blackadder.
Forget the clipboards, mud and whistles, this is the time of year when Crusaders coaches Todd Blackadder, Dave Hewett and Daryl Gibson are forced into the roles of detectives, sales reps and talent scouts.
The scramble for Super Rugby players has been in motion for several months but with just a month remaining until squads are confirmed, the five franchises are not wilting in their pursuit of the last players to complete their rosters.
In addition to watching the national provincial championship matches, many coaches peer at footage of players on a sports analysis system, trawl through statistics, travel to matches to observe them in action, speak to current and former coaches, gather character references and quiz their own players about how they rate the man they want to sign.
The problem for the coaches is they realise they are not the only one hunting their quarry - another franchise may be gathering their own intelligence and already presenting a contract.
If Blackadder thinks a prospect is worth further scrutiny, he launches a quiet investigation into how he operates on and off the field.
"The first thing you want to know is if he is under contract or not and then you go through all the stats and see how he rates against everyone else. Then, if you are really interested, you can gauge some interest with his agent and see if he's keen," Blackadder said.
"You then want to watch him live to see what he does off the ball and then maybe take it even further from there."
Unearthing decent backup players can be tricky. While most coaches quickly sign up the top players in each position, it is important they make the right choice when selecting backup players.
"You have got to do your homework, you have to know who is out there and that is time-consuming. You just watch a player until you know his game inside and out."
Although all franchises have probably locked in the majority of their 28 protected players, and the likes of the Crusaders and Chiefs are understood to have already contracted around 26 each, the search never stops.
Teams can contract up to 32 players, although for the 2012 season the Crusaders were forced to limit their squad to 30 because of the salary cap. The New Zealand Rugby Union retainers can reach a maximum of $180,000 for the top players.
With the NZRU allowing franchises to increase their wider training groups to eight players, and also committing to bigger salaries to allow them to train as fulltime professionals, it is possible some head coaches will have to manage 40 squad members next year.
As Blackadder, Hewett and Gibson hunt for new recruits they also have to be mindful that the clock is ticking.
One important date has already passed.
On Monday they forwarded a "contenders list" to the NZRU that indicated what players they could possibly contract next year. This allows the NZRU to confirm whether those players are available.
Some players have also been delisted by their franchises, giving them the chance to seek employment at another franchise - although they could still be plucked out of the draft by the coach who originally offloaded them.
A player has the option of terminating his contract if he has been de-listed and potentially go overseas but because most overseas clubs have already settled their squads this is not a popular option.
Although he could not be reached for comment yesterday it is believed Crusaders wing Sean Maitland has been de-listed and Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph is looking to snare him. All Blacks prop Ben Franks was delisted from the Crusaders before signing with the Hurricanes.
October 23 is the eligibility deadline for when lists of up to 28 contracted players must be sent to the NZRU, followed a week later by the selection meeting to determine what, if any, players will be taken out of the draft. Squads are announced on October 31.
This process of recruitment and retention began well before the Chiefs won title at Waikato Stadium in early August.
Throughout the year, regular meetings have been staged between Blackadder, Hewett and Gibson in the Crusaders' offices at Rugby Park as they determine which positions needed to be filled. No doubt they also discussed which underperforming players needed to be culled.
Even before the NPC began, many players had agreed to re-commit but Blackadder noted there were always a few holes to be filled before settling the draft picks.
Recently, Hewett and Gibson were sighted at a Counties-Manukau game and it is understood loose forward Jimmy Tupou is on their target list, while Tasman's Shane Christie may be added as an openside flanker to assist in accommodating the loss of Richie McCaw.
If the Crusaders are seeking to impress a new prospect they will fly him to Christchurch, give him a tour of their facilities around Rugby Park, introduce him to key staff and possibly try to impress him by introducing him to a couple of All Blacks.
When Blackadder has talks with a player he says he resists the urge to talk money; he prefers to leave that to the Crusaders' high-performance manager Steve Lancaster.
"I never cloud the discussion by talking about money, it is about the rugby opportunity," Blackadder said. "I never force them and I never put a timeline on it . . . people need to choose to want to come here. I don't want anyone who just wants to clip a ticket."
Coaches also have be wary about not letting their egos blur their judgment. If a player is talented but has the potential to create trouble, the coach needs to decide whether he is worth the risk.
How they handle rejection is also important; although coaches don't want a hell-raiser they want the player to remain hungry and keep pushing at training for starts.
If the player is eager to sign, his manager or agent will become involved.
Although Sonny Bill Williams' agent Khoder Nasser was regularly spotted around the All Blacks' and Crusaders hotels when he was with the Christchurch-based side, most agents remain the background.
Once a call is logged, the negotiating begins.
"The agents want to make the best decision for the player at the time and we understand that," Blackadder says.
"But I think the really important thing is they look for the right career pathway for their player and not just the dollar signs."

Day after the rant
Looking back at Mike Gundy's postgame tirade and what prompted it
I didn't write about Mike Gundy's tirade in The
Sunday Oklahoman because I thought Oklahoma State football fans deserved better.
They deserved to read about one of the wildest games in OSU history and certainly one of the most important wins in Gundy's three-year head-coaching career. But a day later, the outburst and what led to it demands discussion.
Gundy was enraged by Jenni Carlson's column on Bobby Reid in the Saturday Oklahoman.
We don't like to be the story. We hate to be the story. But we became the story.
Did Gundy make some good points? Absolutely. The manner in which collegiate athletes are covered in the media is an excellent topic, worthy of discussion.
I don't buy all of Gundy's argument that college athletes are immune from scrutiny. You can't on one hand treat football players like princes, with everything from opulent training tables to enrollment favors, then claim they're just regular students.
I didn't agree with all of Carlson's column about Reid's attitude and toughness, which is not particularly unique. A whole batch of people rarely agree with all of mine.
But Gundy holds some responsibility for the events that led to the volcano Saturday night. He has not been truthful about the quarterback situation, and that's led to confusion, questions and speculation. Being dishonest with us — which means being dishonest with his very own fans — is not the proper way to do business.
As for Gundy's method and timing, what was he thinking? Yes, he embarrassed Carlson and The Oklahoman, but he also embarrassed himself, taking away from a glorious victory. It was a PR blunder, and I think Gundy probably knows that.
Sunday, he said he regrets only shooting from the hip, instead of preparing a statement. Gundy said he didn't read the column until after the game, though he had heard about it because OSU personnel confiscated all the newspapers from their usual place at the team brunch Saturday morning.
"I wouldn't change a whole lot about it," Gundy said.
That's unfortunate, because Gundy did not come off looking good.
Oklahoman sports editor Mike Sherman said Sunday he stands behind Carlson and said reasonable people can disagree about how this column was handled and how college athletes should be covered.
Carlson said Sunday: "I stand behind my column. Being questioned is part of being a columnist, but I am certain of the facts in this column."
Much of this row stems from the growing divide between the public and college athletic programs.

As pressure mounts on Wales, testy defence coach Shaun Edwards has attempted to backtrack on statements that have riled the All Blacks.
Edwards provided a mirror for the mood of the under siege Welsh rugby team yesterday when he fired up at a press conference in Cardiff.
After being told that Steve Hansen's men were offended by reports that he said All Blacks were "there for the taking" during last year's World Cup final, Edwards quickly claimed his controversial message was misconstrued, despite it being clearly reported on the official Six Nations competition website at the time before being extensively reported around the world.
"No, I said we had a chance against them. I didn't say we would beat them. I was misquoted," Edwards claimed. "I said we had a chance to beat them because they had a lot of star players not available. They were down to their third-choice flyhalf."
Made aware that the All Blacks had taken his comments personally, regarded them as arrogant and that earlier this week Hansen had challenged Wales to back up those sentiments, Edwards appeared increasingly agitated.
"Steve Hansen is not playing is he?" the 46-year-old shot back with a stern stare.
"Any sporting contest you always have a chance. It's the same on Saturday."
The final straw came when Edwards was pressed further and asked if he was trying to distance himself from the comments.
"Are you trying to put words in my mouth? Yes, you are. I was misquoted. I said if we made the Rugby World Cup final and we had a full strength team we would have had a chance to beat New Zealand because they were drastically understrength."
Edwards then said that, 13 months on from the World Cup, Wales are anything but confident of rolling the world champions for the first time since 1953 at Millennium Stadium on Sunday morning (NZT).
"The All Blacks are in better form now than they were going into the World Cup final because they've got a settled team, they've not got as many injuries as they had at that time, and Richie McCaw looks in great shape, as opposed to having a long-term injury," he said.
No doubt Edwards' tension was only heightened when, just a few hours earlier, former Welsh captain Gareth Thomas joined the deafening chorus of condemnation after five straight losses.
Not long after, Welsh great Barry John announced he feared Welsh rugby had slipped into despair and disarray, Thomas accused some players of a "pure lack of effort" in last week's loss to Samoa and challenged senior members of the Grand Slam champions to "stand up to be counted".
"When did he say that? If he can show me specifics of the game then I will take a look at it and assess things but I wouldn't agree with that," Edwards said.
This sort of harsh criticism is nothing new in the valleys where, like New Zealand, each loss is treated in the same manner as a national tragedy.
Pressure can go one of two ways. If Edwards can emulate this passionate denial in his pre-match speech, it might be enough to restore Welsh pride.
After being booed off their home pitch last weekend, Welsh players are in desperate need of inspiration and Edwards, a nine-time Challenge Cup winner during his illustrious rugby league career with Wigan, will be hoping to provide just that.
"The fans are expecting a lot from us . . . for us to lose those two games I don't blame the fans for booing us," Welsh wing Alex Cuthbert said, referring to consecutive losses to Argentina and Samoa.
Fullback Leigh Halfpenny expected returning coach Warren Gatland, who is said to be feared by his players, to issue some blunt messages this week.
"It's about being honest as a squad," he said. "Things will be said. It wasn't acceptable for us lose on Friday night [to Samoa]. There will be harsh words said to make sure we put it right. People aren't giving us a chance of winning."

The current Knesset is barely a year old. The next election is likely to be advanced from its currently set date of October 22, 2013, but it is nonetheless still far away.However, it is never too early for potential candidates to start flexing their political muscles. And speculation, even if premature, is already rife and legitimate.Ahead of last year's election, several public figures entered politics and helped their parties attract support. The Likud scored the biggest windfall, bringing in former IDF chief of General Staff Moshe Ya'alon, former ministers Bennie Begin and Dan Meridor and television personality Tzipi Hotovely.Kadima drafted former IDF spokesman Nachman Shai, Israel Beiteinu recruited former minister Uzi Landau, ambassador to the US Danny Ayalon and two journalists who were also models and Labor, Meretz, and Habayit Hayehudi each offered journalists: Daniel Ben-Simon, Nitzan Horowitz and Uri Orbach respectively.The next election will likely feature a similar crop of generals, journalists and political has-beens-who-might-be-again.Following is a list of 10 well-known public figures who might grace a political list some time soon – if not in the next Knesset election, then the one after it.Yair Lapid: A recent skit on the popular political satire program Eretz Nehederet depicted Lapid denying that he was entering politics, while a potential slogan and jingle for a new party he could lead hovered and chimed in the background.Lapid can only blame himself for initiating the speculation when he told interviewer Ilana Dayan several months ago that he would make a decision about whether to run at the last minute ahead of the next election.A year and a half after the death of his father, Shinui leader Yosef "Tommy" Lapid, matters of religion and state have risen to the forefront again without a major politician in the Knesset who hoists the secularist banner. When a scandal arose over the cabinet's decision to move a planned emergency room at Ashkelon's Barzilai Medical Center due to ancient graves found at the site, it was Yair Lapid who wrote a commentary condemning the move on the front page of Yediot Aharonot.Lapid is under pressure to follow his father into the political arena. People who have spoken to him said he is concerned about the future of the country, and he believes he may have to take the plunge into politics to really change things. A Lapid-led party would win 14 seats in the next general election and would become the country's third largest party after Likud and Kadima, according to a Shvakim Panorama poll broadcast last month on Israel Radio. He also is sought after by Kadima.But Lapid has a lot to lose as the anchor of the top-rated Channel 2 news magazine Yoman and the author of the leading column in the weekend magazine of the largest circulation newspaper, Yediot Aharonot. He could decide to remain on the sidelines for another election and enter politics later on.Aryeh Deri: The former Shas leader and Lapid have nothing in common other than admiration for Lapid's father, their status as the subject of political speculation and the fact that current MKs are so scared of them that they drafted laws in an attempt to prevent them from running.The Lapid bill, sponsored by Kadima's Ronit Tirosh, would institute a cooling off period for journalists before they could enter politics. The Deri bill, initiated by Hotovely, would prevent convicts who served sentences for crimes involving moral turpitude from fielding their candidacy.United Torah Judaism announced this week that it would veto the Deri bill. Other legislation has prevented him from entering politics until now, but the last of it will expire later this year, making Deri a plum political free agent.A return to Shas is unlikely while Shas mentor Rabbi Ovadia Yosef remains alive, because Deri's former post at the head of the party is taken by Yosef's loyal servant Eli Yishai. Deri could decide to form a new party or join with one of Shas's rivals.THE MOST interesting speculation surrounds the possibility that Kadima council chairman Haim Ramon will draft Deri to his party, which is a lot more secular and Ashkenazi than it used to be and could use some affirmative action. Deri has been close with Ramon for years and the two were seen talking this week at the funeral of the father of Austrian billionaire Martin Schlaff.While Yishai was not invited to speak at the prestigious Herzliya Conference, Deri was there and made headlines by lashing out at the values of reality TV in a speech seen as laying the groundwork for his political comeback.Dan Halutz: The former IDF chief of General Staff has a good reason to enter politics – a lot of axes to grind. He is angry at a lot of politicians for their treatment of him when he was on the job and when he was forced to resign after the publication of the Winograd Report that investigated the Second Lebanon War.While Halutz takes some revenge in his book that just came out, he still has a lot left in him and he has said in closed conversations that he intends to enter politics after a Knesset-mandated three-year cooling-off period ends in a few months.Halutz is close to former prime minister Ehud Olmert and has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Shaul Mofaz near the top of the Kadima list if Mofaz quits politics following another unsuccessful challenge to Kadima head Tzipi Livni. He also seemed to make a point to be seen having coffee with Lapid a few months ago.Gabi Ashkenazi: The current chief of General Staff was unceremoniously shown the door Tuesday by Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who told him his tenure would not be extended and released it to the press, even though Ashkenazi had not sought an extension.Speculation about why Barak made the move has focused on his anger at reports that he was considering an extension and paranoia that Ashkenazi's associates were behind them. Others have reported a difference of opinion about whether Israel should attack Iran.But perhaps what really set off Barak was a poll published in Ma'ariv two weeks ago that found that Ashkenazi would bring Labor more mandates than him as head of the party. The poll was ridiculous, considering that the earliest Ashkenazi could enter politics is February 2014, but Barak has never tolerated potential rivals.The professionalism of the IDF under Ashkenazi and his lack of interviews have made him popular. He will undoubtedly be sought after by multiple parties in the election after the next one.Ofer Eini: The powerful head of the Histadrut labor federation could be drafted to head Labor ahead of the next election if current leadership candidates Isaac Herzog and Avishay Braverman fail to resuscitate the party. Eini could restore Labor's former image as a socioeconomic party, and he would not make Amir Peretz's mistake of accepting the Defense portfolio.Alon Pinkas: The former consul-general in New York ran for the Knesset with Labor two elections ago, and he claims to not be running now. But he sure sounds like a politician when he blasts Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who promised him the post of ambassador to the United Nations and then reneged.Kadima could use a foreign policy expert to bolster its slate in the next election in a campaign that could focus on slamming Netanyahu for burning bridges with the country's allies around the world. Pinkas's hatred for Netanyahu makes him a perfect fit.Elazar Shtern: He is an outspoken former general who wears a kippa but is unrestrained in his criticism of religious Zionism's current leadership. He is anti-haredi and articulate. Those qualifications could make him a sought after candidate for any party in the center-left of the political map.

Vicar's Message
What Makes Good Lent
Mar 1, 2015
Dearly Beloved, A good lent make space for hope by leading us afresh into encounter with the holiness of God. Human beings are made to live in relationship - Relationship with God, human beings and relationship with the whole creation. Here God calls us to respond His call positively. Listen what He wants to say and pay attention and to make straight the way. Listening is a difficult process in life. In Lent we open the way of Hope that the world may see - We believe that Lent is a form of self - improvement. In a way it is right. But Lent is no mere individualistic, narcissistic and inward - looking self help festival. A good Lent must over flow in generosity. It is one of the signs. Takeout the bumps in the road, the bumps in the road we need to smooth out for the Lord to come. Relationships that have been neglected and there fore are full of clutter that needs removing?
Broken relationships may be easily mendable, little irritations or it may be that we need, in a good Lent, to take the first step to clearing away a major landslide. The practical ways are openness, transparency and treat each person and situation differently. Repair the relationship with the community. Zacchaeus , a tax collector received by Jesus makes a new relationship and he sorts himself out with God . His household will have been turned in to a place of hospitality rather than exhaustion. The discipline of a good Lent is to find again how we welcome the stranger, how we practice hospitality, how we listen. It is the eternal experience of the Church that God's word to us comes in surprising ways and from unusual, and very often in our eyes unimportant people.
The interaction of Church and Society is the foundation of a good Lent and a good Lent the foundation of a just society. Not a Lent of abstinence, but a Lent of listening to our vocation, to rejoicing with those for whom things are going well, to suffering with those left behind. A listening Lent is one of robust disagreement not bland assurance, but disagreement with a moral vision and destination. A good Lent starts with in us. It moves through those most closely around us - In practice, let us see whether together, we can not make a discipline of listening better; and perhaps in Churches gathering once or twice during Lent for a period of prayer, of silence, of confession, of dealing with bad relationships and of sharing a meal together. There we will find Jesus Christ. There the road will be made smoother. A GOOD LENT MAKES SPACE FOR THE PRESENCE OF GOD IN ALL.

Purity of Vision- Plan of Mission
Feb 1, 2015
Dearly Beloved In Christ,
God's word is unpredictable in its power. The Gospel speaks of a seed which once sown grows by itself, even as the farmer sleeps. The church has to accept this unruly freedom of the word, which accomplishes what it wills in ways that surpass our calculations and ways of thinking. The joy of the gospel is for all the people; no one can be excluded. That is what the angel proclaimed the good news to the shepherds. The Book Of Revelation speaks of an eternal Gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth to every nation and tongue and tribe and people (Rev:14:6).
The church is herself a missionary disciple, she needs to grow in her interpretation of the revealed word and in her understanding of truth. At the same time, today's vast and rapid cultural changes demand that we constantly seek ways of expressing unchanging truths in a language which brings out their abiding newness. The deposits of the faith is one thing - the way it is expressed is another. "Let us never forget that the expression of truth can take different forms". So try to understand the truth. A small step, in the midst of great human limitations. Can be more pleasing to God than a life which appears outwardly in order but moves through the day without confronting great difficulties.
The church is called to be the house of the Father, with doors always wide open. We are in an age of knowledge and information, which has led to new and often anonymous kinds of power. The joy of living frequently fades, lack of respect for others and violence are on the rise and inequality is increasingly evident. A number of diseases are spreading- The hearts of many people are gripped by fear and desperation, even in the So- called rich countries.
We need to distinguish clearly what might be a fruit of the kingdom from what runs counter to God's plan. This involves not only recognition and discerning spirits, but also and this is decisive- choosing - movements of the spirit of God and rejecting those of the spirit of evil.

Trust God Who is Faithful, Whose Ways are Just
Jan 1, 2015
Dearly Beloved In Christ, The suffering of this world is inescapable. In our suffering we cry out to God and seek His love. As Christians we call out and challenge him when he seems not to answer. The psalmist does the same. Humility saves human in Gods eyes, while pride is a loser. The heart of a humble person is open. It accepts correction and trust in God. The heart of the proud person is the exact opposite. It is arrogant, closed, knows no shame. It is impervious to God's voice. People's of God posses the three characteristics of humility, poverty and the trust in the lord. Those who do not accept correction, they do not trust in the lord. They will be contemned these people cannot receive salvation. They are closed to salvation.
Poverty is a privileged gift that opens the door to the mystery of God. People who were not interested in the truth, who sought only their own interests and went where the wind blow. You should go this way, you should go that way, and they were weathervanes, all of them! All of them! Without consistency. A heart without consistency, so they negotiated everything, they negotiated interior freedom, they negotiated the faith, negotiated their country everything except appearances. To such people, getting the best out of every situation was the important thing. They were opportunities. They profited from the situations.
The observant people very secure in their habits. It's true but only in appearance. They were strong, but on the outside. They were in a cast the heart was very weak, they don't know what they believed. And because of this, their life the outer part of their life was completely regulated but the heart and a skin that was plastered over, strong, harsh, Jesus on the other hand teaches us that Christian should have a strong heart, a firm heart, a heart built on the rock that is Christ, and then in the way it goes out it goes out with prudence. " In this case, I do this: but it is the way of going out but: the heart is not negotiable, the rock is not negotiable. The rock is Christ. It is not negotiable. Jesus never negotiates, his heart of the son of the father, but he was so open to the people seeking paths to help them. But this can't be done our discipline, our doctrine say this can't be done! They say. Why do your disciples eat grain in the fields, when they travel on the day of the Sabbath?. It can't be done! They were so rigid in their discipline. "No the discipline can't be touched it's sacred. Jesus denounces hypocrisy and opportunism.
Humility saves human in God's eyes, while pride is a loser.
Do not forget that in life, nothing remains unchanged and everything evolves through transformation. You must learn how to evaluate every situation with the correct amount of modesty. If you are living a moment of success, re-dimension your enthusiasm; If on the other hand you are waiting for a development be patient; everything turns and re-news itself.

One Lord and one sheep: Unity or division
Feb 1, 2015
…and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. (John. 10:16)
One of the great visions that Jesus wanted to explain to His disciples is one Lord and one sheep. The oneness of Christians amidst of the diversities is the Lordship of Jesus. But many a time it became a force of division among Christians in the history. Even this was evident in the first century church where Paul asked the question 'is Christ divided?'. When he was writing to the Ephesians Pau clearly explained what is the unity of Christians , "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all". (Eph. 4. 4,5) But most of the oneness that Paul is trying to emphasise in these verses became forces of division in the church.
Jesus is telling us today that every Christian is part of His flock and He is the only Lord. Chapter 10 describes this unique relationship a shepherd has with sheep for the unity. The shepherd owns, knows and gives life to these flocks. This is an intimate and unique relationship that a shepherd is having with his sheep. All the sheep have the privilege to believe that there is someone who owns them, knows them and gives life in abundance and that is their shepherd. This intimate relationship should be the catalyst for our unity in Christ. We are one in Christ. John Chapter 10 also talks about the unique characteristics of the sheep who is part of this unity. They listen to the shepherd and will not listen to any other false shepherds because they recognise the voice of the shepherd. They know the shepherd and enter through the gate of Jesus for the salvation. They have no confusions on what they believe and who are the right prophets. Jesus clearly warns about the false teachers and heresies that can come on our way when we live in this world. If we don't listen and know our shepherd then we will easily fall into the trap of division and hatred. Jesus said we will discern the false prophets by their fruits. So teachings and the fruits are to go hand in hand. The question is do we listen to our shepherd and shepherd alone? Do we know Him personally?
All the diversities that we have among Christianity should not be the forces of division and hatred among us but should a unifying force because we have only one Lord. But today it is sad to understand that a lot hatred and division is in the Christian community on what we believe and what we practice. The best answer to find a solution to these divisions is to listen to our shepherd and not be cheated by the false teachings. Let us know him personally then the diversities that we have is a blessing in our growing together. Let us enter through the gate of our Lord and He said 'I am the gate'.

Edavaka Mission
The spiritual renewal in the Church, which was the offspring of reformation has created a yearning in believers to present the Gospel to others. It was realized that this could not be fully achieved by the services of a few full time evangelists. On the other hand every member of the Church should be a missionary filled with such joy and assurance of salvation as to be Christ's witness to those who come into contact with him, irrespective of one's profession in secular life.Believers interested in evangelistic and intercessory activities used to assemble periodically for prayer and fellowship. It was in the annual meeting of such a gathering in 1924, the present Mar Thoma Voluntary Evangelists' Association was formed. Bishop Abraham Mar Thoma was the ardent supporter of this movement.The objective of this association is that every member of the Church should be a witness to Jesus Christ, whatever his or her occupation may be. Those who volunteer to be members of the Association meet together in each parish at least once a week for fellowship, intercessory prayer, Bible study and sharing experiences.The branch of the Mar Thoma Voluntary Evangelists Association in the Parish is called "Edavaka Mission".
Sevika Sangham
The women in the Mar Thoma church also shared the spiritual power generated by the Reformation. The Mar Thoma Suvisesha Sevika Sangham the women's wing, was inaugurated during the Maramon Convention in the year 1919, under the leadership of Abraham Mar Thoma Suffragan Metropolitan, who gave the Sangham continued support and inspiration. Every women of the Mar Thoma Church above the age of 18 years is a member of the Sevika Sangham. The Sevika Sangham has branches in all parishes of the Mar Thoma Church both in India and abroad. The Sevika Sangham at Ebenezer Mar Thoma Church is an extremely active and spirited group who play an extremely active role in the development and growth of our church.
Sunday School
In the Mar Thoma Church, Sunday Schools play a very significant role in the spiritual renewal and growth of young generation. The formal inauguration of the Sunday School Samajam took place at Maramon Convention in 1905. 'Come to Jesus and bring every child to Jesus' is the motto of our Sunday school. Since then the Sunday School organization has grown and changed but our motto still remains the same.Ebenezer Mar Thoma Church Sunday School is held every Sunday (with some exception) between September and June at 11:00am. It is comprised of an extremely dedicated team of teachers and an eager group of students who have led to its continued success year after year. Our students actively participate in Diocesan-led initiatives such as the National Diocesan Exam and VBS. In addition to bible study, our students also learn about church history and the growth of the Mar Thoma Church.
Youth Fellowship and Yuvagena Sakhyam
The Mar Thoma Yuvajana Sakhyam was organized with a view that all the young people in the Church should accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord, and bear witness to His saving power. It was organized in 1933 by a resolution of the Sabha Prathinidhi Mandalam. Ebenezer Mar Thoma Church continues to honor this resolution with not only an active and thriving Yuvajana Sakhyam but also an extremely devoted Youth Fellowship group. Both groups work hand in hand to develop our youth as responsible young men and women who can face the challenges of life while upholding the faith and practices of the Mar Thoma Church and Christian values.

Parish History
Ebenezer Mar Thoma Church, New York, established on 1987, Previously this parish was known as 'Congregation of Greater New York', one of the first Mar Thoma Congregation in USA , established on 1976.
His Grace, Late Rt. Rev .Dr. Alexander Mar Thoma Metropolitan renamed this Congregation as Ebenezer Mar Thoma Church and the worshipping location was Pelham Community Church, at Washington & High Brook Ave, Pelham, New York. There were seventy families regularly attended the worship service. Rev. George Varghese was our Vicar and Rt. Rev. Dr. Abraham Mar Paulose (Rev.Dr.K.U.Abraham) served as Asst.Vicar.
When we write the history of our church, we cannot ignore the period of 1996 – 2000, a new era of our North American Diocese and Ebenezer Mar Thoma church, the untold story of our sufferings and sacrifice. Even though we walked through the valley of the shadow of death, we were grateful to be the part of the history of Mar Thoma Sabha in North America. We were glad to have the historical judgment which enabled the Diocesan of North America to establish and expand their spiritual and social growth in North America.
We thank our late Metropolitan, His Grace Rt. Rev. Dr. Alexander Valiya Metropolitan, our first Diocesan Bishop, Rt. Rev. Dr. Zacharias Mar Theophilus Suffragan for their immense support and guidance
After 25 years, by the Grace of our Savior Jesus Christ, we have our own church and we have started service on our new parish on January 22nd 2012.
On March 31st 2012, His Grace Rt. Rev. Dr. Joseph Mar Thoma Metropolitan consecrated our church along with our Diocesan Bishop, Rt. Rev. Dr. Geevarghese Mar Theodosius Episcopa.

How Online Guest Experience Improves ROI.
By Nancy - buuteeq
Friday, 4th July 2014
In the virtual world, just as in the real world, accessibility matters;
How people find and interact with your propertys website can make all the difference and more specifically, your websites channel management and booking engine can improve guest experience before your customers even set foot in the lobby.
First off, your website needs to be easy to find. You should attract visitors through an array of sourcesfrom OTA referrals and search engine marketing to organic search and direct traffic.
As the Internet holds more and more sway in peoples decisions and spending habits, hotels need to woo customers online using a variety of channels.
SEO and SEM on a search engine results page.
Secondly, your websites booking engine needs to work efficiently. Potential guests feel more confident in a booking engine that has the same look and feel as the rest of the propertys website. Ideally, your website should not redirect to an outside booking engine.
In addition, guests who interact with your booking engine should have a pleasant, seamless booking experience.
In this sense, your booking engine is the first concrete experience a guest has with your hotels services. So even when a hard-to-use booking engine does successfully capture a guests reservation, this person will arrive at your hotel with a negative guest experience. This deficit might be impossible to overcome.
As you know, guest experience affects your propertys bottom line. The same holds true for your guests online experience on your website.
The following infographic examines how these two vital factorsdiverse traffic sources and booking engine interactioninfluenced the ROI of real buuteeq customers.

These shoes are 3D-printed using flexible, durable filament so they can be folded up and stuffed into a pocket or bag (+ slideshow).
Designed by Ignacio Garcia of Spanish 3D-printing firm Recreus, the Sneakerbot II shoes are printed with the company's Filaflex 1.75-millimetre filament, which comes in a range of metallic colours and matte hues.
This elastic filament forms a rubbery, waterproof material that is bendy and retains its shape after being scrunched up.
The shoes can be printed on a MakerBot using a custom extruder also designed by Garcia, which prevents the elastic filament becoming tangled during the process.
Sole and upper are printed in one piece, then the tongue is attached to the front of the shoe. Holes for threading the laces through are incorporated into the print file.
Chunky faceted forms around the bases of the high-top trainers create a Futurist appearance.
This design builds on the original Sneakerbot model, which has smoother surfaces that look more like running shoes.
The files for both designs are available to download for free from MakerBot's Thingiverse website.
Others experimenting with 3D-printed footwear include fashion designer Iris van Herpen and sports brand Nike, which have both used the technology to create shoes. Also, 3D-printing company Cubify has launched a range of women's shoes that can be printed overnight at home.

The Romans - Public Health
Pont du Gard, Roman Empire, October 2007, by Emanuele
The Romans were the first civilization to introduce a public health system. They had to do this because Rome had grown in size and it was impossible to find a natural source of fresh water in the city. It was also necessary to find a way of disposing of the rubbish to prevent pollution causing health problems.
Aqueducts were built to transport fresh water into the city. In AD100 there were a total of nine aqueducts that brought fresh water into the city of Rome.
Public baths were places where people could go to bathe, meet and discuss business. There were hot and cold baths as well as massage rooms.
A network of sewers was built to take sewerage and waste out of the city to the river Tiber. There were also public lavatories.

Great Customer Service
I rented this place with a number of me and my wife's couple friends this past weekend. The trip didn't start off well, because it had slipped the property manager's mind that we were arriving on the day that we did. We contacted Jorge immediately and let him know that the place was dirty. In a matter of 20 minutes he contacted his cleaning staff and offered to refund us one night's stay! Jorge completely owned up to his mistake and provided excellent customer service! He did an incredible job making sure we felt at home and that we were being taken care of.
The property itself was exactly how Jorge had described it. There were enough rooms to fit 12 people and a small child.
By the end of the trip I let Jorge know how I felt about the property and provided another refund of half the cleaning cost because he wanted us to know he cared deeply about our experience.
I would definitely recommend renting property from Jorge in the future. He made a mistake and completely owned up to it. He made sure we were taken care of the rest of the trip.
Very comfortable, makes you want to stay longer!
Our stay was just not long enough to thoroughly enjoy this comfortable property. The property owners worked with us to be sure we had everything we needed. Lovely little screened front porch, privacy, within aerobic walking distance to the beach, a nice screened party room, a fire pit, all were as described. My two little dogs enjoyed scouting out the three different yards and playing on the screened porch while I sat out there with them. We all enjoyed our stay and would like to return again in the future.
Wonderful Family Vacation!
Our family - ranging in age from 2 years old to 86 years old - just spent a wonderful, relaxing week together at this beautiful home in its gorgeous setting. We were 7 adults and a two-year-old, and we had more than enough room to sleep comfortably, to hang out together, and to have individual quiet time to read and nap. The home is well-equipped and even has bath towels and washcloths that aren't paper thin! We cooked several large family meals together and had our choice of the large dining room or screen porch to eat in. The kitchen lends itself to people eating breakfast and lunch.at different times throughout the day. Our grandson had plenty of room to play in the kitchen and family room area. We even set up his play table and chairs in the kitchen. Great-grandma read and dozed on the screen porch each afternoon!
We spent hours floating in the pool and soaking in the hot tub. The beach is just a block away with great sand for making sand castles. It is quite shallow which makes it manageable for kids and middle-aged adults.
There are lots of things to do in the area. We did the winery, the train museum, shopping and lunch in St. Joe's. dinner at Redamaks, breakfast at a diner, the carousel and children's museum - well, you get the picture.
The owner is great to work with and seems to really want others to enjoy his home. We highly recommend this terrific vacation spot!
