The Words of Hyung Jin Moon From 2009
Our Heavenly Father and our Heavenly Mother, we want to thank You so much that we can be here today. We thank You for Your love, for Your grace, for guiding and protecting us throughout this week, allowing us to be here. We want to truly open our hearts and our minds to You, allowing You to flow in. We want to welcome You, asking You to be here with us. We know that when two or more are gathered in Your name, You are there. We also believe that You do not go where You are uninvited, so we truly want to invite You to be here today.
We want to give You our hearts, our joy, our victories. We also want to offer You our challenges and difficulties, even our complaints because we know You want to dwell with us. You want to know everything about us. You are there to support and to love us. You want us to offer all that we have to You. We know that You believe in us, that You are there for us. You will receive us in your hands. We thank You for believing in us, for being our biggest fan, our most incredible parents. Again, we welcome You. We ask that You speak through our speakers today, that You really, share Your love and Your heart through them. Help us to receive their word that we might be more empowered to go forward and truly become your great sons and daughters. We offer all of this to You as sons and daughters, as blessed brothers and sisters from around the world. Aju.
Welcome brothers and sisters. Good afternoon. Welcome to our Headquarters Unification Church. Today, we have a glorious day to worship our Heavenly Father. So, let's praise our Heavenly Father and let us give our victory, our grace and our true love to our Heavenly Father and True Parents. Welcome brothers and welcome sisters.
Aju! Welcome brothers and sisters. Let's start by manifesting the Principle. Let's do it together, ready? Give and receive action, four-position foundation, all coming into one, centered on God's True Love. Aju! Thank you.
We are going to start with Cheon Seong Gyeong page 934 today. Father speaks. He says
"The moment of fulfillment of the ideal of God's love is established when God, as the internal parent, achieves complete oneness with Adam and Eve as the external parents. God, the incorporeal parent, becomes the eternal parent in the corporeal world by taking on the form of Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve can then become the True Parents and the true ancestors of all humankind."
Brothers and sisters, we see here again the model and the ideal of creation. We see the symbol that God intended for the world. We see the model there, the give and receive action, the parents centered on God, husband and wife in a true love relationship, children attending their parents with true love. When that model is established, then God is dwelling in this place and then God is dwelling on this earth. See, this was the model in the very beginning, and this was the model that God has been trying to restore throughout human history, and this is the very model that our True Parents have established victoriously. Let's give them a holy shout of praise!
Wow, I hear you over there. You guys look fantastic today. It is Saturday and you look even better than if it was Sunday. You look good, you feel good. We are here to worship God and True Parents. We are here to honor them. We are here to do our best, do our part. So we give them great strength today. We know that the next week will be tremendous. We are not going to come out with a heavy heart, "My next week, woe is me, woe is me. I've got a lot of things to do!" We are coming here to say, "You know what, I am going to be awesome this week. God bless me, protect me, and give me grace." If you believe it let's give it up for God. [Applause]
Brothers and sisters, we want to welcome you at this service. Today is a great day to be alive. Aju? Let's all offer it to God. We are going to have a great service. Let's all rise and do the Family Pledge together.
Brothers and sisters, let's unite our mind and body. Let's start with our body. Let's stretch the hands towards the earth today. I want you to listen to the sounds of the songs. Listen to the words and hear the prayers that are coming out of those songs. I want you to allow it to move your heart and as we pray, let's pray for those who are in the spirit world. If you came with a guest, let's take time to pray for that guest. Let's make partners and pray for each other. Let's take time for prayer. Listen to the song and pray together as one. Let us pray.
Father, we thank You so much for all those incredible Abel spirits that are protecting us, that are our guardian angels and, Father, we want to pray for each and every one of our brothers and sisters here today. We want to pray for our guardian angels, those Abel good spirits, so that they can continue to do great works working with the physical world. We want to thank You so much. We want to pray and give thanks and glory to You. In our own names as blessed central families, we pray with gratitude. Aju.
Thank you brothers and sisters. It's always so good to pray for one another, it's always so good to extend our hearts. Remember that, yes we are a community, and yes we are on this path together. We are not alone. Sometimes we may feel that we are alone but it is so important to remember whenever we walk, we walk in a company of good people. We walk in the company of brothers and sisters. Tell your neighbor you are my brother and sister. Let's tell your neighbor that. Come on. Let's stand up and greet the person sitting next to you.
Brothers and sisters, you know we always like to start with something a little interesting, little interesting, and I heard a little story. The Mom was at church, she came with her little daughter and all of a sudden the little girl started feeling a little sick. She said to her Mom, "Mommy, I need to go; can we go?" Mommy said, "Honey, we can't go right now, it's in the middle of service! We can't go!" "Well Mommy, I think I'm going to throw up, I feel really sick," the girl said. "Alright honey, this is what you do. You go outside of the church and go around to the back and there's a bunch of bushes there. In the bushes, go do your thing, okay, and then come back." After just about 45 seconds, a very short amount of time, the little girl returned to her seat. The Mom said, "Honey, did you do your thing? Did you do your business?" The girl said, "Yes, I did it! I did it! I feel fantastic right now!" And Mom said, "Honey, how did you make it back so quick? How did you make it back in 45 seconds?" The little girl said, "Well, Mommy, I didn't have to go outside; right next to the front door there was a box that said FOR THE SICK. I did it there." [Laughter]
Brothers and Sisters, today I'd like to talk to you about the fact that it's all in God's hands. You know, in order to live the blessed life we have to know that we are in God's hands. And it's a folly to think that we have got ourselves to where we are. Of course, we have the 5% responsibility, we have 100% effort, we had to study, we had to get the good grades, to get to the good college, get the job, etc. Sure. That's all there. But it is so important to remember that without God's protection we could have been very quickly steered into another direction, we could have even lost our life in a split second, in a car accident, in a helicopter accident, in a plane accident, etc., in a number of ways. Remembering that we are in God's hands and coming into presence with Him with praise and thanksgiving, this is one of the keys to living the blessed life.
Let's take a look at some of our World Scriptures today. As Unificationists we like to look at all the religious traditions. Let's look at them today. Let's look at Judaism and Christianity, this is Deuteronomy 32:39, we'll read that together:
"There is no God beside me, I kill and I make alive, I wound and I heal, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand."
We see that God is there, He is present and He is in control of our lives. Many times we may not understand what happens in our life, the situations, the circumstances that may come against us, obstacles in our path. But we have to remember, just like Deuteronomy says, that it is in God's hands, it is in the palm of His hands.
Let's take a look at Confucianism today: this is the Book of Songs 254. Let's read this together:
"Revere the changing moods of Heaven and presume not to drive about at your pleasure; Great Heaven is intelligent."
Great Heaven sees what we are doing. We are in the palm of Heaven's hands, so to speak; we have to revere and pay attention to the great moods of Heaven, so it says in the Confucian tradition.
Let's take a look at Islam today: this is the Qur'an, second Sura, 117th verse; we'll read this together:
"The Creator of the heavens and the earth, when He decrees a thing, He but says to it 'Be,' and it is."
You see, God is in control. We know here that God is not just some Creator far away but God is in our lives. When He says "It happens", when He says "Now is the time", that is the time when it shall occur.
Let's look at True Parents' words today. Let's read this together:
"What is the main idea of the Unification Church? It's simply to live for others. Even if the whole world opposes, the Unification Church has survived because we know that we will be saved in the hands of God. If we exist for God and if we exist for something, we can overcome any opposition."
You see, Father is telling us here that although we may have to put in our big effort and we have to accomplish our 5% responsibility, in the end, because of the grace of God, because of God's presence, because He moves with True Parents, because He moves with the movement, then we will be able to overcome obstacles and overcome situations that are coming up against us. This is very important. Brothers and sisters, if you climb Chung Pyung mountain in the morning you will see a beautiful cloud sea; you will see a beautiful fog that just envelops the entire region. So beautiful! You've probably all seen this kind of fog dwelling over cities, dwelling over mountainous regions, etc., and we all know that fog can cover cities; we know that fog also can force airports to shut down, cancel flights. Many times our flights have been delayed because of fog, because of not clear visibility.
It can even create accidents, like in the case of True Parents' helicopter accident at Chung Pyung. We know that the big fog came all of a sudden, and it blinded the pilot. You see, fog is very deceptive. It is very disorienting. Did you know that research shows that in fog people tend to drive faster than when it's clear? Isn't that very strange? When you look at people who drive in the fog they actually drive faster because your mind perceives that you're moving slower than you actually are. When you move through the fog, it seems like you're moving slower than you actually are. Thus people drive faster, research shows, when driving through the fog. You see, fog makes us blind, it disorients us, and it warps our sense of reality. We think we're moving slow. We think we're not getting through but in reality we're moving actually quite fast.
I read that a cloud of fog that can cover four big city blocks can fit into a small glass of water just like that. One glass of water; big fog that can cover four big blocks long can fit into a normal glass of water. In other words, the fog seems very big, very humongous in our eyes; it's vast; it covers mountains; covers cities but in reality the substance of the fog is nothing more than a glass of water. It's so small. It's so weak. It's in the same way, just like this, how fog disorients our mind. How fog tricks us into feeling scared about our future. This is exactly what the enemy does. He comes in and fogs our vision, clouds our vision. He disorients us, makes us warp our sense of reality. We're thinking this is a huge obstacle, huge thing. In reality it's the size of a water glass but it seems humongous.
When you see it in your mind, we start saying things like, "Oh!" We hear the enemy saying in our mind: "Oh you're not going to make it; you're not going to be able to achieve that! That good break will never happen to you! You're moving too slow! You can't make it at this pace! There are people so much more talented, so much better than you, they're moving at such a rapid rate, this is a rat race, don't you know?" And so we can hear these things in our mind; sometimes these illusions can get so big in our mind that we're paralyzed. Almost completely dreading the future, we don't want to move, can't get up, and can't get any energy in our life.
I was talking to a woman who was completely dreading the future, very scared of the future. She was very fearful of the fact that her children may grow up and fall away from God and so she couldn't get up in the morning, she lost her hope, she lost her strength, lost her enthusiasm for life, even getting up was a chore, so difficult just to get up and go through the day. She started getting very depressed, very hopeless, falling into despair, feeling that there's no hope for her kids, her family, etc. And so I told her what I'm telling you today. I said: "Whenever you start worrying about the future, whenever you start dreading the big fog that's in front of us, whenever you start fearing what may happen, your children may fall away from God, they may do terrible things, they may fail in school, they may do all those kinds of things, we can worry on and on about these things. But in the end that is just a big fog that is trying to cloud our vision. This is what the enemy is trying to do so that we don't succeed, we don't keep a positive mentality, we don't keep hopeful for our children, and we don't keep hopeful for our families.
And so I told her, "Whenever you start dreading the future, you feel like you have no energy, I want you to get up, I want you to go to the kitchen, and I want you to fill up a glass of water. Fill that glass of water; look at that glass of water, remember four city blocks of fog in that glass of water. And drink it down, hydrate yourself, drink it down and say, "Bye-bye fog" -- let's tell your neighbor, "Bye-bye fog," come on, "Bye-bye, bye-bye fog." So I said, "Whenever you start getting scared, go to the kitchen; do that. hydrate yourself. Drink the water. Remember: you're digesting that fear. Digest it. And move on into a new hope."
You know, this is exactly what happened to Joshua and Caleb. When Moses sent the twelve spies out to scout and spy on Canaan ten came with a negative report. Ten of them said, "Hey, Moses, you sent us there, we took a look around and there was, it's terrible, the situation is absolutely horrible; Moses, we cannot get near that thing. If we go near there we're absolutely doomed." He said, "You know, Moses, we're like grasshoppers in their sight; they're like great giants in front of us. There's no way we can penetrate into that city." You see, their fear, their dread, exaggerated their reality. It started to warp their vision. You see, when they looked at Canaan, they saw themselves and they looked at themselves with a distorted mind, a defeated mind. The fear exaggerated the greatness of the Canaanites. And so they looked at themselves and said, "We're grasshoppers!" But seem, that wasn't the reality.
Even though if it was thousands of years ago, no matter how small a person is, they're not usually the size of a grasshopper! See, that was the reality; the reality was that they're not the size of grasshoppers! In their mind the fear exaggerated their feeling of feeling as small as an insect. But in reality they were not: in reality the Canaan people were not that huge, they weren't double, triple, quadruple their size, they were human beings just like them; but see, the fear, just like a fog, distorted their mind and warped their sense of reality, and it made them more scared, and it absolutely convinced them that this would be impossible. It would be impossible and they would never make it out. "We are doomed to death," is what they said.
But you see, two of them came back with a positive report; two of them came back, saying, "You know what, Moses? We went there; we saw the same houses; they're big. We saw the same people; they're big. But we're not that small, and we can do it. We can go in there and the walls can come down. I believe it." That's what Joshua and Caleb said. They came back with a positive report. They came back with the more clear report, the more realistic report: we can make it in there, "We can see ourselves as God's children - we can make it in there and be victorious and actualize the promise that God has given us."
And so in essence Joshua and Caleb did exactly what that lady did. They went to the kitchen, they put that big fog in a glass of water, drank it down and said, "Bye-bye big fog," that's what they said. Let's tell your neighbor, "Bye-bye big fog," let's do that again, "Bye-bye big fog," we've got to do that more. See, they knew that God was in control of their destiny and that they would be victorious.
You see, True Father has taught us that God is eternal. He taught us that God is unchanging. He told us God is unique. He taught us also that the essence of God and His divinity can be known: it is true love. God's divinity is true love. And thus God's true love is absolute and unique, unchanging, it's eternal. You see, when we hear these things we may hear the vocabulary of these things but we may not really grasp it. You see, in the world of eternity, so to speak, in the land of eternity, in the land of everlasting, so to speak, there are no time constraints; there are no present, future, past, it's all the same to God; you see, God's love is not influenced by time.
God's promise is also not influenced by time. He transcends time; He's beyond time, He can control time. His promise, His love is not predicated on time. And so when God promises a victory -- did you know this? -- when God promises a victory, it's already done. Why is that? Because if God promised it yesterday, that's the same as today and tomorrow for Him. See it's already done. The victory is already completed. So when He says that we will have victory, when He says that, we will be able to truly, through True Father's words, through True Parents' words, be able to inspire the world. This promise, it's already done. The 95% of portion of responsibility is 100% done. And now what we have to understand is that that 5% is our responsibility. That's the little portion that has continued and delayed the providential picture. See, all God needs us to do is that last 5%.
And how do you do that? How do you begin working on that last 5%? It seems like a big thing. God did 95%. 5%, that's still pretty small but maybe it's quite large. We won't know how to start. It begins by taking the fog, the fear, out of the mind. It begins by changing our mindset, not having just a temporal mindset, but having the eyes of eternity, looking at God's promise as already actualized, walking in the promise, so to speak, walking with confidence, walking with faith; that is how we begin that process. See, that begins by having that glass of water. Hey, drink it down, you have the glass of water. Big fog in that one glass of water -- I'm drinking it down. Bye-bye lies. Bye-bye fear. Bye-bye curses that have fallen over me. Bye-bye doubt. Bye-bye all the things that have come up against me, obstacles, etc. and we say thank you to God when we do that. Let's say thank you to God, everybody, let's give a big round, let's give Him a big praise! [Applause]
So we have to remember all the people who told us that we would never amount to anything, "You know you guys are not going to amount to anything. You're never going to do anything great. You guys aren't really going to do the things that you talk about." Remember all those people who cursed our lives: "You're never going to make it! You're not smart enough! Don't waste your time there! What are you thinking about, you're wasting your time, wasting your efforts!" All those kind of curses have come over our life. All those kind of things and negativities have come over us, all the failures that we may have seen in our mind.
People who said that Unification Church would be a failed religion, "Oh, Unification Church is not going to last. After Rev. Moon is not here anymore the church will collapse. There will be no future for Unification Church." All those things, that is the fear and the fog that clouds our vision. See, to those days we have to say, "Bye-bye." Let's say bye-bye, come on, bye-bye, say bye-bye, we've got to say bye-bye to that. We have to keep clearing ourselves out of that, out of that mentality. You see, we've got to quit worrying about those lies coming true, "My God, will they come true? My God, maybe those prophecies and those curses that come over me and say that I'll fail, maybe they'll come true! Oh my goodness, maybe my children will fall away from God, and they'll be terrible disasters, they'll be drug addicts and be terrible students and just terrible people."
We can believe all these things but that's where faith comes in -- that's where we say, "No, I take the stand of hope. I take the stand of faith. I stand to believe that I walk in the promise of God and God's promise was good yesterday, and it's good today, and it's even better tomorrow." Let's believe and let's give it up for God! [Applause] You see we have to believe that God is in control. And we have to know that with certainty that. There are certain uncertain things in our life. But if we know that we're in the power of God's hand, we have that greater certainty; we know that we can walk forward in faith.
The prophet Jeremiah was a man who was always warning Jerusalem, he was wandering about Jerusalem, telling the people, "You should turn from your wicked ways! For God will condemn you, God will punish you! Turn from your wicked ways, from your selfish ways!" He was ridiculed at the time; in Jerusalem people thought he was absolutely insane. When the Babylonians attacked Jerusalem, Jeremiah was even in prison because he was speaking towards Jerusalem, criticizing them, saying, "You have to stand up, you have to become better!"
So let's take a look at Jeremiah 18:1-7. Let's read this together: we're going to read this together? Yep, there it is, let's read together:
"This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: 'Go down to the potter's house, and there I will give you my message.' So I went down to the potter's house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred by his hand; so that the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Then the word of the LORD came to me: 'O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?' declares the LORD. 'Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.'"
See, we forget that we are in the palm of God's hands. Even if our destiny is marred, is marred, is ruined, is misshaped, disfigured by our human error, God can make a way that we did not see, He can make a way that no man can make. See, God is shaping us and our destiny. He's molding us to reach that which He desires. Not necessarily what we desire but which He sees fit for us. So many people thought it was over for Unification Church; many prophesied we had absolutely no future; and five years ago there was not so much hope. A lot of people would say that. We were marred; we were beaten down as a religious tradition. We went through the indemnity period; we were persecuted. Our members were kidnapped illegally around the world for believing and having faith in True Parents' teaching. And so we were really beaten down; we were marred. Our pot was being disfigured. We were really out of shape, so to speak, beaten out of shape. You see, but we have to know that God is molding us into a new pot.
See in this quote in Jeremiah we see that even though the pot was marred, the potter didn't just give up on it, throw it off the potter wheel and say, "Oh; end of that story. I'm going to try a new one." See, God said through that potter, He said, "That may be marred, but you know what, I'll shape it into another pot, which seems best in my eyes." And so we have to understand, brothers and sisters, that God here in this story saved this pot from disaster. He saved it from flying off the potter's wheel; He shaped it as it seemed best to Him. And when we overcome challenges in our life we may think it's because we did it, it's because we overcame that challenge. But you see, just like God did, when we have that little mar in that potter's wheel and He's rolling us on that wheel and we have that little scar, God is going to reshape us so that we move into the proper destiny that He wants us to have, as long as we do our 5%. See, God does the rest. He saved us from disaster and shaped us into what He wants us to become, He's shaping us into what He thinks is best.
You see as we move towards the growth stage temple, gaining pride in ourselves as Unification Church, we're seeing an amazing transformation in Unificationists around the world, especially in Korea. People are starting to be excited about being Unificationists once again, having confidence; "Yeah, I am a Unificationist, and I believe in my faith, and I'm proud of my faith." This is such a beautiful thing to see. One year ago when we started ministry it was so down; we could feel people really losing faith, losing hope, losing confidence in their faith, in their ability to believe in a faith. But in a short span of a year we saw so much incredible things happen and God really was guiding us in the palm of His hand.
The media changed, the success of our business group with Kook Jin Hyung there, all these incredible things have happened, best seller Father's autobiography, best seller, let's give it up for True Parents, come on [Applause]. I've studied religions; I've never heard of a religious founder who wrote an autobiography and had it be the national best seller! Usually religious leaders are totally persecuted: Jesus was crucified; Joseph Smith was killed in prison; the Buddha was ostracized and kicked out of his area that he was teaching in; but True Parents have done an incredible thing and we, in a short span of a year, we're finally seeing the church grow up again. Our church has finally begun to grow again. And this is beautiful because we see that we are getting confident in our faith again. See, we are claiming the last portion of the victory that God has already completed.
When we realize that we're in God's hands, we have the freedom; we have the freedom because we know we don't have to fear the future any more. We don't have to fear the enemies any more. We don't have to fear even death; we don't have to fear the things that come against us, the obstacles that are trying to pull us down, the negative thoughts, etc. We can start having confidence and believe that we will succeed, believe and have hope in our destiny. We can know that God is with us, moving with us, moving and guiding us with His hands. See, when we realize that we are in God's hands we know that the victory is going to come; it's just a matter of time. Because for God, think about it: it's only been a short 50 years for Unification movement; but we're the most successful religion while the founder is alive! There is no other religion that has made a worldwide foundation while the founder is alive! It's an incredible, incredible testament to the incredible truth of Unificationism! Let's give it up for Unificationism, Brothers and Sisters! [Applause]
See, for God, 50 years, that's nothing. God has been waiting a long time. But He lives in the land of eternity. See, for God, when He promises it's going to happen, it's going to happen. It happens when we start believing again. It happens when we start having confidence again. It happens when we start having pride in our faith -- because nobody's going to do that for us -- when we start believing in the promises that God has given to us, when we start believing that we can be victorious. We can move society, we can be mainstream. When we start believing it again, when we start having hope and enthusiasm in our life, moving towards that destiny, that's when God says, "You're ready for it," that's when He says, "Come into the victory, the realm of victory,"
You see, what can we learn today, Brothers and sisters? It is in God's hands; He is an eternal God, and in the land of eternity there's no time constraints. God promised that we would be recognized and we will inspire the world with the words of True Parents; it's time for us to do our part, to believe, to take heart, to be encouraged, to encourage each other, to have faith, and to move forward with that kind of hope and enthusiasm. When we do that, we are going to clear through the fog that clouds our visions, we will clear through the doubts that try to weigh us down and warp our sense of reality, saying "You're never going to make it." And we start moving towards the shining bright new horizon that God is preparing for us. See, when we do that, when we understand that it's in God's hands we're going to move forward with more strength, more victory, we're going to inherit the true love of God and live up to our destiny that God has prepared for us. If you believe it, let's give it up for God and True Parents! [Applause]
Heavenly Father, today You have given us another blessing with this inspiring message by our beloved Hyung Jin Nim. We pray for Your love and guidance as we bring the essence of this message into our daily lives. Father, please bless this modest offering that we have for You today. David said, "I will not offer to God sacrifices that have cost me nothing." In our hearts we want to offer only the best. We know that You created each of us for a specific purpose and we pray that we may be able to fulfill our purposes according to Your will in order to bring You joy and glory. Father, we thank You for all the true love and true blessing that You have continuously given us. We pray that we can truly inherit Your true love and be able to share it with all our brothers and sisters all throughout the world so that we can come together as one family under God and True Parents. All this I pray in my name and with all brothers and sisters all over the world, as a blessed central family. Aju!

The Beresheet lander could not transmit high-definition photos and video back to Earth—a key mission goal—without its transponder, a custom-built device made by US-based firm Space Micro.
A girl wears her official spacesuit costume at SpaceIL team headquarters in Tel Aviv.
Wearing her official spacesuit costume at team headquarters in Tel Aviv, Yuval Klinger is enthusiastically tracking the Israeli organisation's progress—and contemplating whether spacefaring may be a part of her future career plans. She is far from alone in her interest. "We wanted all kids in Israel to be heads-up about this," says SpaceIL's former CEO, Eran Privman, in a prior interview with National Geographic magazine. "We want these kids to be able to explain to their parents what's going on."
A partial model of SpaceIL's Beresheet lander rests in an echo-free chamber that absorbs electromagnetic waves, enabling engineers to test how its antennas will transmit and receive data while on the moon.
At SpaceIL's facility near Tel Aviv, a thermal vacuum chamber creates the same intense heat the lander will encounter during the moon's daytime, which is equivalent to continuous sunlight for 14 Earth days.

Box Score?|? Quotes?|? Photo Gallery
ATLANTA – Senior righthander Adam Blair struck out ten, and allowed just five hits over a career-long 8.1 innings of work, as No. 4 seed Stetson upset top-seeded Georgia Tech, 5-4, in the opening round of the 2003 NCAA Atlanta Regional at Russ Chandler Stadium.
With the victory, Stetson advances to play South Carolina in a 3 p.m. winners' bracket contest on Saturday afternoon. Georgia Tech will face East Carolina in an elimination game at 11 a.m. The Gamecocks defeated the Pirates, 4-0, in the day's opening game.
Trailing 2-0 in the top of the sixth inning, the Hatters (40-22) blasted three home runs off of Tech starter Micah Owings (9-3), to take the lead for good at 4-2. Back-to-back shots by Brian Snyder and Andy Wilson knotted the score at 2-2. After a groundout, catcher Chris Westervelt singled, before right fielder Pete Rasmusen belted a two-run home run over the right-center field fence to give the Hatters their first lead of the night.
Stetson added an insurance run in the top of the 8th inning against Tech reliever Jeff Watchko, as Ian Church reached on a two-out error by shortstop Tyler Greene, advanced to second on a walk to Rusty Beale, and came around to score on an infield single by John DeStefano, increasing the lead to 5-2.
Tech (44-17) closed to within 5-4 in the bottom of the 8th, as left fielder Matt Murton reached safely with one out on an error by Wilson, in front of a two-run home run by first baseman Clifton Remole. Blair retired the final two batters in the eighth, and first in the ninth, before giving way to Stetson closer Roger Lincoln, who set down the final two batters to earn his ninth save of the season.
Blair (3-2) allowed four runs, three earned, while scattering just five hits, and striking out a career-high 10 batters over 8.1 innings of work. Owings allowed four runs and nine hits, while walking three and striking out three over 6.1 innings.
The Jackets took an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning, as Stephen Blackwood doubled, and came around to score on an RBI single by Murton. The lead was increased to 2-0 in the fourth, as Micah Owings blasted his team-leading 15th home run of the season.

ET Now: As a brokerage house, do you have coverage on midcap cement?
Mayuresh Joshi: JK Cement and JK Lakshmi Cement are two cement stocks that we prefer from the midcap pack. In our opinion, JK Lakshmi Cement actually posted a decent set of June quarter numbers. If you look at the Ebitda margins, they has compressed because of fall in realisations. The volumes growth was something that really surprised us.
The new commissioning is going to aid volume going forward. The entire cement structure is based more on how the demand recovery comes through and there are higher hopes at this point of time. We believe that once capex cycle and investment activity pick up in infrastructure and housing sectors, you would see volume growth coming back.
Over the next few quarters, realisations would start slowly and steadily improving. That means operating costs should go down and the Ebitda per tonne should improve. Clearly on an enterprise value (EV) to tonne basis we find both JK Cement and JK Lakshmi Cement attractive, given their installed capacities, the expectations that demand recovery will be sooner than later and likely improvement in realisations.


text: There are many good articles posted on the Internet today that describe the process of hiring a professional fundraising consultant—or a fundraising consulting firm. Although there is no question that a fundraising consulting firm's experience and track record are important considerations—even primary considerations—I suggest that the skill set of the actual campaign director or fundraising professional is equally important. Thus, if you thoroughly examine the record and references of the professional fundraising firm, I would still investigate the fundraising professional on the scene by ensuring that he or she has a good mix of the following six skills:

At last week's RETECH 2012 session on Renewable Energy in Mexico, Miguel Vazquez from the U.S. Commercial Service in Mexico City presented a detailed look at the challenges and opportunities for U.S. businesses wanting to market renewable solutions in Mexico. With its own presidential election looming, Vazquez says that Mexico's renewable energy policies would likely get a boost, but warned its regulatory framework would continue to be a challenge as American businesses expand across the border.
He said things will likely be compounded by the fact that Mexico 's largest utility, CFE, has a mandate to buy the cheapest energy available. That's a policy decision that helps zero out solar all the way into the year 2026. U.S. companies are also limited in terms of how they can work with CFE, said Vazquez. Today, only power generation projects are considered, not distribution or transmission.
But all that aside, the market for exports to Mexico can't be ignored, especially in wind and biofuels, where Mexico ranks in the top three globally, according to Dept. of Commerce data. And from a U.S. perspective, Mexico ranks ninth for potential renewable energy exports.
Vazquez also touched on some of the current renewable incentives in Mexico . One is aimed at taxpayers, and provides a 100% deduction incentive for investing in renewable energy equipment as long as the equipment is operational for at least five years. And in 2009, the Fund for Energy Transition and Sustainable Exploit of Energy was established. In less than two years, it had a capitalization of $260 million that could be spent on sustainability projects.
Mexico is also bringing its educational institutions into the mix, making funds available for renewable R&D from the Ministry of Energy and CFE. Lastly, U.S. business could also get some help from Mexico 's "Green Mortgage" program, which provides a lower APR if homeowners purchase renewable energy equipment.
Even with all the incentives, Mexico 's renewable portfolio will still only approach 25% by 2026. Because of that, Vazquez said U.S. companies really need to do their "homework" and streamline the way they approach the market. Legal challenges, permitting and land ownership were cited as some of the biggest obstacles. He mentioned it can still take a few years for permits related to power generation projects.

Great Spaces: Ten Bistro
One of Fourteen included in Our Great Spaces for Your Corporate & Holiday Events
Ten Bistro
5005 Peachtree Parkway #820
Peachtree Corners 30092
Ten Bistro is the vision of Owner and Chef Jesse Kauffman who initially spent a long time on the corporate side of the restaurant business. Much of his formation included eight weeks of training in the kitchen, at each new restaurant that he managed.
He comes from a family of foodies; his mother was always very focused on organic, healthy foods, and his grandfather was a life-long baker. He rolled into the restaurant business very naturally.
When this attractive space became available in his community, he jumped at the chance to open his own, and just like that, Kauffman became both a Peachtree Corners resident and restauranteur. Although he didn't realize it at the time, he decided on a brilliant way to get the neighborhood to rally behind him.
He put out the word to the 10 major subdivisions in Peachtree Corners, soliciting favorite recipes from his neighbors. "There's always that one person known for their white chicken chili at the tennis team party," chuckled Kauffman. So in a genuine attempt to find out what his fellow citizens would enjoy eating, his initial menu emerged, complete with the names of the neighbors who had volunteered them and the subdivisions they hailed from.
"So that's where the "10" came from. And Bistro, just because a bistro has everything from French onion soup, to a good fresh fish, to filet mignon, and good organic salads. So that's Ten Bistro!"
The Ten Bistro Noël
Both corporate and family gatherings on the smaller side, which do not necessarily require a private event space, are welcome in the restaurant. If a private function is a requirement, buyout of the restaurant is always an option.
The best number for a party size here is 50 or less—50 would take-up the whole restaurant. They've had parties of up to 65, with some guests spilling over onto the patio, but you can't always count on the weather.
How About a Holiday Party with Ten Bistro?
Great news! Kauffman and his team do provide off-site catering for 10-150 people. Call the restaurant to discuss your vision and Ten Bistro can come to you!
For a group reserving the whole restaurant, they'll start off with either passed around appetizers, or set them up on the bar. Envision brie wrapped in puff pastry with pineapple chili marmalade, asparagus fries, pitta and hummus, vegetable crudités, and bruschetta toast points.
Once guests are seated two choices of salad are offered; either Caesar or the House Salad.
Entrees can be served one of two ways; family-style, with guests being served from platters brought out by servers or plated in advance and brought out. For family-style, "servers come out with large platters of truffle mashed potatoes, green beans, and asparagus, and serve everybody. Then we come out with 3 different proteins and everybody can have all of them, like salmon, steak, and chicken. So, you get a nice full plate that we keep serving until people are full," explained Kauffman.
Alternatively, you may develop a menu from which guests will be able to choose one of three entrees if the party is large. If the party is 20 or smaller, guests can have a choice of up to five entrees. "That's where we can include vegan, vegetarian, seafood, chicken, steak, for a nice broad coverage. Then we just plate it, and bring it out," offered Kauffman.
Desserts are the grand finale of either aforementioned scenario.
Dietary restrictions can be accommodated here. Whether you're a vegetarian, or you're avoiding gluten, or dairy. Meals can be easily made per your request. Because everything is made to order, any undesired ingredients can be easily left off.
Kauffman has always had his finger on the pulse of every food decision at the restaurant. For the past seven years he's shifted his focus from shaking hands and kissing babies in the front of the house to the kitchen even more so. There's a reason the "boutiquey" restaurant is often buzzing.
Artwork from local artists adorns the walls of this eclectic establishment. If you should find a piece that speaks to you, they're for sale – all proceeds go to the artists who created them.
Book it!
Any day is a good day to host a party at Ten Bistro. Kauffman recommends scheduling your holiday season event one month in advance.
From Sunday through Thursday, the group would have to spend $4,000 to rent the whole restaurant. This includes an open bar and a four-course meal.
The buyout price for Friday and Saturday is $5k, including a four-course menu, an open bar, tax and gratuity.
Daytime parties that take place on Saturday or Sunday can be done for much less: $20 per person, with a 20-person minimum.
For smaller groups of 15 to 25 that don't need to rent the whole space for a private venue, it's from $15 to $20 per person for lunch groups. For three course dinners, it's $27 per person, alcohol would not be included. It would be billed separately.
To book your holiday fête or soirée at Ten Bistro, call Owner and Chef Jesse Kauffman at 770-375-8330.

New Restaurant, Townhomes, Specialty Grocery Store Under Construction
Miller's Ale House, a 7,000 square-foot restaurant, will soon break ground at its new location on Peachtree Parkway. The sports bar will be located on an out-parcel next to Taco Bell in the Peachtree Parkway Shopping Plaza. The north corner of the existing shopping center (where an existing emissions inspection station is located) will be razed for a parking lot for the restaurant. The new restaurant is part of a chain based in Orlando, Florida.
Town Center Townhomes: The first five of the 72 planned townhomes adjacent to the Town Green are now under construction. Foundations have been poured on the new 3-story brick townhomes which will offer three- and four- bedroom/3.5-bathroom floor plans. Features include brick exterior, two-car garages, gas fireplace and stainless-steel appliances, granite counter-tops in the kitchen. The development is named 5200 at Town Center. The sales office is located at the Stonington community located at 3544 Medlock Bridge Road. A full list of amenities and prices are included on the builder's website.
Lidl, the German discount grocer, will open in the former Earth Fare space in the Interlochen Shopping Center at 5270 Peachtree Parkway. Work is currently underway in the 23,500 square foot space but the company has not yet announced an opening date for its new Peachtree Corners location. Along with fresh produce, the discount grocer sells meat and poultry, frozen foods, bakery items, health and beauty and household essentials. The first modern Lidl store opened in 1973 in Germany; today the company operates 10,800 stores in 32 countries including more than 70 stores in the United States.

My Favorite Holiday Foods & Desserts
We asked some local people what their favorites were for this holiday season
The Bramble Family
Kyra, Cliff, Stevie, Reid
Owner of Noble Fin
Peanut Butter Cookie Kisses
"One of the joys of making this dessert during the holidays is not the actual eating of these cookies, but the pure look of excitement in our kids' faces. The excitement of gathering all of the ingredients, and the fun of pouring the ingredients into the bowl, making a mess and watching the kids be filled with so much excitement as the cookies get placed into the oven."
Debbie Mason
Peachtree Corners
First Lady
While Debbie is involved with many of the city's activities, including the Peachtree Corners Festival, she takes time to bake for her family. She shares this favorite holiday recipe.
Debbie's Sour Cream Pound Cake
2 sticks butter, softened
½ teaspoon baking soda
3 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
6 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups flour
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. In a different bowl, sift together the flour and baking soda. Then add the flour mixture, alternating with adding the sour cream, beginning and ending with flour. The batter should have taken on a different sheen when it's ready. Add the vanilla and blend well. Pour into a greased and floured tube pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees for 90 minutes. Enjoy!
Executive Chef Ken Hampton
Hilton Atlanta—Peachtree Corners
"I have been Executive Chef at the Hilton Atlanta—Peachtree Corners Hotel, known as the "Castle on the Hill," for the past nine years, and I've seen tremendous growth in the area. Over the years, several local companies have held their holiday celebrations at our hotel. The holiday season is my favorite time of the year—I love to see the joy and happiness of our customers celebrating the season with co-workers and family.
"Our holiday collection this year includes Red Velvet Cheesecake with Bourbon Eggnog Crème, Warm Salted Caramel Vanilla Bean Cake with Peppermint Ice Cream, Cranberry Pumpkin Pie with Berry Coulis and Pearls Sugar Waffles with Mini Cider Donuts."
Gina Solomon
Wesleyan Artist Market
Harvest Salad
"This is, hands down, a sure hit—even for those who typically do not enjoy a salad. The combination of sweet and savory is a crowd pleaser every time. Crisp green apples, toasted pecans and dried cranberries make it a seasonal specialty."
● The salad ingredients include:
● mixed greens lettuce
● sliced red pepper
● cubed Granny Smith apples
● sliced red onion
● toasted pecan halves
● dried cranberries
● crumbled blue cheese
● salted bagel chips and
● homemade dressing of oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, dried mustard and poppy seeds.
Jeanne Aulbach
Peachtree Corners City Council
Jeanne likes to keep it basic. "Generally, if I'm hosting for the holidays, I just roast a turkey and fix some candied sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and succotash. No recipes needed!"
Chef Donte Youmans
Firebirds Wood Fired Grill in Peachtree Corners
Surf and Turf
If turkey isn't your style, Chef Youmans has a suggestion: try a half-pound lobster tail and a 7-ounce applewood-smoked, bacon-wrapped filet seared over glowing embers of Firebirds' 100% wood fired grill.
"Our Surf and Turf is a special entree combining a flavorful hand-cut filet with a juicy lobster tail grilled to perfection."

Hungry Games goes Greek.
I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, home of the original Zoe's Kitchen. Zoe's serves up some delicious Greek fare of the upscale fast food variety (think Panera or Cosi, but Greek.) Their menu has things like chicken roll-ups, kabobs, homemade hummus and pita, Greek salad, and other fresh and light options.
Whenever I go home to visit, Zoe's is an obvious spot to grab a bite to eat. The food is consistently good, and I'm bound to run into at least one or two people whom I haven't seen since high school—I kind of love those random, awkward interactions.
Maybe it's the nostalgia for home, or maybe it's because the food really is quite tasty, but I nearly hit the roof when I found out Zoe's was opening up a location in Ballston, right next to the metro stop—which means THIS GIRL can go there! So, I decided to take a suburban adventure on the orange line and see how this Zoe's measured up to my hometown version.
Zoe's Kitchen in Ballston (4245 North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA) was pretty similar to its Birmingham counterpart. It has a bright and colorful outdoor patio, and an equally cheerful indoor dining room.
The menu has my favorite staples: chicken roll-ups (tortillas, feta, lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions), pasta salad (fresh basil, feta, no mayo), potato salad (baby reds, no mayo), marinated slaw (feta, scallions, light vinaigrette), and chicken salad (all white meat; it's the best!). The restaurant sells all these salads by the pint, as well, which is awesome for picnics and barbeques. I walked away with some chicken salad so I could make myself some tasty sandwiches for lunch this week.
This Zoe's also sells beer and wine, which is something I don't remember from the Birmingham version, but which I greatly appreciated about this one. I wonder if I could put the beer in the cute Zoe's take-away cup and have a roadie? (Just kidding. That would be illegal! But, you have to admit, the placement of the display kind of suggests it, which made me laugh.)
They also sell their homemade Greek dressing and spices so you can recreate some Zoe's cooking at home.
Since I made the trip out there, I decided to dine in. I was about to order my usual chicken roll-ups and marinated slaw, when I saw spinach roll-ups (tortillas, mozzarella, fresh mushrooms, feta, sun-dried tomatoes, scallions) and braised white beans on the menu! "What is this?" I thought to myself. So, I tried them (I had them add chicken to the spinach roll-up, and I still ordered an extra side of slaw, because, let's be real, I had been craving it the whole metro ride over.)
The roll-ups were as I remembered them: warm, juicy chicken on the inside; the wrap, lightly crisped from the grill, which adds a nice texture contrast. They taste great alone, but Zoe's always provides salsa for dipping. It's a little unexpected for pairing with Greek food, but it really tastes quite good. The slaw was light (it has no mayo) and refreshing. I love the feta cheese and green onions in it. And, the braised white beans with fresh rosemary were creamy and delicious.
Of course, no meal is complete without dessert. I really enjoyed Yaya's handmade chocolate cake, which I took to go, because my lunch was really quite large and satisfying on its own. The big-as-your-face cookies also looked delightful, but too much for this trip.
There's no question. I'll be going back.

Member's Farm Walk, Bar-
and Annual General Meeting at
Irish Moiled Cattle going from Strength to Strength
Members of the Irish Moiled Cattle Society (IMCS) were treated to a great day at Clandeboye Estate, Bangor on Monday 15th July. Around 50 Irish Moiled enthusiasts came together from all over the British Isles to socialise with one another and to hear about the main topic for the day… 'Classification of Irish Moiled Cattle'.
Upon arrival to Clandeboye Estate all the members were given a guided tour around the beautiful walled gardens by the Estate Manager and IMCS Hon. Registrar Mark Logan. Everyone's attention then turned to the informal discussion on classification scoring of Irish Moiled's. Mark Logan once again led the discussion sharing his knowledge and expertise on the subject and how the voluntary system will work. A small number of herds across Northern Ireland have already had some animals scored as a trial run by the classifiers at Holstein UK who will carry out the process independently of the society. Members heard how the classification system will be a very useful tool for identifying the breeds best and most consistent high scoring cow families (VG and EX animals). From the data collected, specific strengths and weaknesses are highlighted allowing informed decisions to be made on making the correct bull selection for your herd and ultimately improving quality within the breed.
After the informal discussion and before the AGM everyone was treated to a BBQ with Irish Moiled burgers and sausages with all the trimmings in the beautiful surroundings of the Clandeboye Estate Courtyard. The weather allowed for a very relaxed chance for everyone to get caught up with each other and allowed new faces to become known!
The AGM began with Mr Richard McConnell (outgoing Chairman) welcoming everyone and handing the 'reins' over to Mr Nigel Edwards (incoming Chairman). The Society wish to thank Richard for all his hard work and dedication over the last number of years and look forward to his continued support on the Board of Directors and we wish Nigel well in his new position. The newly appointed chairman acknowledged that the IMCS and its breed have been going from strength to strength in recent years with excellent promotion of the breed at most shows throughout N.Ireland including the return to Balmoral Show.
''I look forward to my new challenge as Chairman of the Irish Moiled Cattle Society and I hope that the increasing popularity of the breed can continue and become even more widespread.'' said Nigel
Long standing Great Britain Director Louise Smith retired from her position this year and the IMCS would like to offer their thanks for all her efforts in all the roles she undertook in the Society over the years and also wish new Director Lucy Blackwell well in her new role.
The day at Clandeboye was a great success with many members finishing with a tour of Robert Boyles herd of Irish Moiled Cattle in Millisle before making the journey home. The Society wish to thank Mark Logan and everyone at Clandeboye Estate for hosting the day.

Seven Poundsis a 2008 film, directed by Gabriele Muccino . Will Smith stars as a man who sets out to change the lives of seven people. Rosario Dawson , Woody Harrelson , and Barry Pepper star. The film was released in theaters in the United States and Canada on December 19, 2008, by Columbia Pictures . Despite generally negative reviews from critics it was a box office success, grossing $166,617,328 worldwide.
Two years ago, Tim Thomas ( Will Smith ), sending a text message while driving, caused a car crash in which seven people died: six strangers and his fiancee, Sarah Jenson ( Robinne Lee ).
In a bid for redemption, Tim sets out to save the lives of seven good people. A year after the crash, having quit his job as an astronautical engineer, Tim donates a lung lobe to his brother, Ben ( Michael Ealy ), an IRS employee. Six months later he donates part of his liver to a child services worker named Holly ( Judyann Elder ). After that, he begins searching for more candidates to receive donations. He finds George ( Bill Smitrovich ), a junior hockey coach, and donates a kidney to him, and donates bone marrow to a young boy named Nicholas ( Quintin Kelley ).
Two weeks before he dies, he contacts Holly and asks if she knows anyone who deserves help. She suggests Connie Tepos ( Elpidia Carrillo ), who lives with an abusive boyfriend. Tim moves out of his house and into a local motel, taking with him his pet box jellyfish . One night, after being beaten, Connie contacts Tim and he gives her the keys and deed to his beach house. She takes her two children and moves in to their new home.
Having stolen his brother's credentials, and making himself known by his brother's name Ben, he checks out candidates for his two final donations. The first is Ezra Turner ( Woody Harrelson ), a blind meat salesman who plays the piano. Tim calls Ezra Turner and harasses him at work to check if he is quick to anger. Ezra remains calm and Tim decides he is worthy.
He then contacts Emily Posa ( Rosario Dawson ), a self-employed greeting card printer who has a heart condition and a rare blood type. He spends time with her, weeding her garden and fixing her rare Heidelberg Windmill press . He begins to fall in love with her and decides that as her condition has worsened he needs to make his donation.
Tim's brother Ben tracks him down at Emily's house, demanding that Tim return Ben's IRS credentials. After an interlude with Emily, Tim leaves her sleeping and returns to the motel. He fills the bathtub with ice water to preserve his vital organs, climbs in, and commits suicide by pulling his box jellyfish into the water with him. His friend Dan ( Barry Pepper ) acts as executor to ensure that his organs are donated to Emily and Ezra. Ezra Turner receives his corneas and Emily receives his heart. Afterward, Emily meets Ezra at his concert at a park, and they begin to talk.

She purchased the brown-ish yarn (136 yards) from Unique Designs by Kathy; I paired it with two skeins of Jo Sharp DK in a color called Orchard. The result is a brioche stitch scarf with random stripes, 8 inches wide by 64 inches long.
Now she needs some cold weather to provide a proper environment for her scarf.

Phil Lee W6HCC
On November 5th through 6th 2007 I traveled to Grand Junction CO for a shot back to Bill, KØRZ in Louisville CO.
DM79jx. I left home at 0640 hrs and in spite of Denver traffic jams arrived in Grand Junction a few minutes before noon. I met Mark Lewis, NØIO and we had lunch at a local Wendy's. I planned to be on the air at about 1400hrs.
The shot was over the continental divide of the Rocky Mountains and relied on aircraft scatter to be successful. I had communicated with Mark for help in finding a location. I thought of the Grand Mesa, but he made a trip up the mesa and found some of the roads gated shut for the winter. He also found that some of the roads were very muddy. Not a good plan!
Plan B was the area on the west side of the Grand valley near Glade Park. It was not as high as the Mesa, but had a good view back toward Louisville. The route to the site goes from southern Grand Junction up Monument road and then takes DS road southwest. The site that we found was a large turnout along DS road. The grid was DM59qa and the distance was 200 miles. It had a great look across the valley and through a low place in the mountains. It appeared to follow the canyon of the Colorado River and I-70.
I took a compass sighting and set up the 4' dish and the x-band rig in the excursion. At first no signals were heard. After about 40 minutes of weak aircraft scatter signals Bill was able to copy his call and mine. About 6 minutes later he copied my grid. At 2:56 MST I got a good burst and copied Bill's call, my call and Bill's grid. A minute later I copied the R's completing the contact. This was grid number 46. I saw some signals from Don, NØYE, but a complete contact was not possible. Mark, NØIO was able to copy signals from bill, but none of his transmissions were heard by Bill or Don.
I decided to move on the DM58. We continued southwest on DS road until our GPS indicated a change in grid. We were at the top of a small rise, but there were trees and a spur of the next hill in the way. After some indecision, we continued down DS road to CS road. This is a paved road which heads east and then down the hill. At the edge of the plateau we found a large turnout with a good view east. The horizon was much like the one at DM59. The grid was DM58px and the distance was 203 miles.
I set up the system and in about 15 minutes I had a good burst and copied all the data from Bill. Two minutes later Bill had all my data. The entire contact was completed in 3 minutes. The grid count is now 47. After we finished the contact I sent a carrier and Bill recorded strong signals with Spectran. The recording was unusual in that the frequency shifted both up and down from nominal. We speculated that we were seeing reflections from an aircraft flying in a race-track holding pattern.
I returned to Grand Junction, had dinner and spent the night at Comfort Inn. The next morning after a good breakfast at the Inn, I set out for DM57. The route took me west on I-70 to US191. On US191 I went south to Moab UT and then to Monticello UT. My tops maps showed a road leading west into the mountains which should have some good sites. I stopped at the welcome center to try to find the road leading out of town to the mountains. The welcome center was closed! As I prepared to leave a man came jogging up the road. I asked him if he know how to get to the ski area on the mountain. He was very knowledgeable and told me exactly how to get there. I was actually on the right street and had only to had west.
I headed up the hill. The road was paved and rose steeply. I was soon in an aspen forest and could not see out to the east. This could be a problem!! I stopped at a small campground and took a sighting. Still more trees. I continued up the road and came to a small lake called Monticello Lake. Here county road 103 went northeast. It was a good graded earth road. I decided to give it a try. The road climbed a small hill and then came out into an open area with a beautiful view to the east. The horizon was about 40 miles and in the clear. This was the place!!
I set up the system. I needed to nose the excursion into the ditch on the left side of the road to allow the dish to swing to the bore sight. I had good cell-phone service and called Bill. We ran carrier and code for about 2 hours from 10:25 until after noon. Very little was heard or seen. At one point Bill copied portions of my call and his. I saw some carrier traces, but heard no sounds. My batteries were getting weak and I idled the engine to keep up the voltage. Still no contact. I decided that we could do no more and we terminated at 12:21 MST. The distance was 273 miles and over some 13K mountain peaks on the Continental Divide. We had hoped for a contact in DM57gv but none was possible. This is the first failure on the "grid quest".
I returned to Grand Junction, met Mark and got the "nickel tour" of his shop and plant. It was very interesting. I decided to drive home that night.
