I have a phone interview this morning & a face to face interview with a different organization this afternoon! Both are for internships & both are non-profits. I've never interviewed for a non-profit OR an internship so I'm SO nervous!
I've researched the companies a bit & it has only been like 5 months since my last interview so I shouldn't be that rusty. There's just so much riding on these internships.
Gah. Wish me luck bees! And any words of wisdom would, as always, be appreciated!

There are many great athletes, but there is only one known as "The Great One." No player in any sport was as dominant as Wayne Gretzky was in the NHL in the 1980s. He holds just about every NHL scoring record and it's safe to say that many of them simply will never be broken.
First with the Edmonton Oilers and later with the Los Angeles Kings, St. Louis Blues and New York Rangers, Wayne Gretzky is almost single-handedly responsible for the growth of hockey in the United States. The incredible excitement generated by number 99 enabled the NHL to get a foothold in places, particularly in the southern United States, where pucks and ice had previously been unknown.
After retiring in 1999 with a mind-boggling 894 goals and 1,963 assists, Wayne Gretzky went almost directly to the Hockey Hall of Fame after they waived the standard three-year waiting period. The list of records and awards earned by Wayne Gretzky could fill a whole wing of the Hall of Fame. A true icon in Canada, Gretzky is also one of the most famous sports stars in the United States and around the world.
You'd be hard-pressed to match the drawing power of a Wayne Gretzky appearance, Wayne Gretzky speaking engagement or Wayne Gretzky endorsement. If you are interested in The Great One, TSE is ready to help arrange it.
**Wayne Gretzky Speaker**
Perhaps the most famous of all the Wayne Gretzky speeches was the one he gave at a press conference after he was traded from Edmonton to Los Angeles. Although the trade was necessitated, at least in part, by the dire financial situation of the Oilers, the sight of Gretzky speaking and breaking down in tears showed everyone a very human side of the hockey legend.
**Wayne Gretzky Appearance**
While there will be no more Wayne Gretzky appearances on the ice, he's still very much a part of the sport he loves as coach and co-owner of the Phoenix Coyotes. A Wayne Gretzky appearance at your next event will leave an impression on people that will last a lifetime.
**Wayne Gretzky Endorsement**
As you would expect, the list of Wayne Gretzky endorsement deals is lengthy, including Anheuser-Busch, Pepsi, McDonald's, JVC and Imperial Oil. Perhaps only Michael Jordan has enjoyed as much success in commercials and endorsements as Wayne Gretzky.

Prayer Message from Tommy Bridges
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way. (Colossians 1:9-10)
The "tool" that helps me most in my praying for folks is using the Psalms! For instance, I may take Psalm 91 and use the phrases from the Psalm to pray for folks on this prayer list.
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. (Psalm 91:1-8)
So my prayer may go something like this: Lord, would you help _________ sense "rest in the shadow of You, the Almighty." Would they believe and know and experience that "You are their refuge and fortress." Help them to feel that "you have covered them with your feathers and under Your wings they find refuge." Please help them to sense deep hope as "Your faithfulness protects and shields them!" Amen!
I find praying the Psalms helps me find the words to use to pray for others and helps me not get distracted in my praying.
Try praying this Psalm for the requests on the prayer list!
Battling in prayer with you!
Pastor Tommy

|Bruised and imperfect
I always enjoy watching the offerings at the farmers market change throughout the season. I get sad when the asparagus stops showing up on the market tables. But I get extremely happy when the peaches start showing up! And that is what happened today - peaches are here!
I am always looking for a bargain, and when I saw quarts of discounted bruised peaches, I knew they would be mine. Perfect for making peach ice cream!
|Peach Paleo Ice Cream
Here is my super simple paleo peach ice cream recipe
6 ripe peaches, peeled and chopped
1 can of coconut milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 pour of Grand Marnier (optional)
- Puree peaches in your blender, add coconut milk and blend again
- Add cinnamon, vanilla and optional Grand Marnier*

Jamba Inc.'s third-quarter 2013 earnings of 15 cents per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 18 cents by 16.7% and the year-ago quarter's earnings of 21 cents by 28.6%. Earnings in the quarter were under pressure due to lower top line and reduced margin.
Total revenue in the quarter was down 6.3% year over year to $61.4 million owing to the decline in company sales and lower comps. Quarterly revenues were also below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $62 million by nearly 1%.
Owing to the uncertain economic environment, the company has witnessed a dip in consumer sentiment in the third quarter which weighed on the company's overall performance. Cash-conscious customers are either dining at home or spending less per meal. Government budget cuts, high tax rates and still-tightened credit availability seem to be the reasons behind lower consumer spending. Adverse weather in some major markets also seems to be responsible for such disappointing results in the third quarter.
Quarter Highlights
Sales at the company stores dropped 7.6% year over year to $57.1 million in the third quarter due to lower comps. Comps at company-owned restaurants were down 5.5% resulting from 880 basis points (bps) fall in traffic which offset a 330 bps rise in average ticket. Comps in the quarter were mostly affected by low consumer spending, inclement weather in major markets and stiff competition. Failure of some marketing campaigns has also been held responsible for such lower sales results.
Franchise and other revenues (includes the franchised as well as CPG revenues) were up 15.8% year over year to $4.3 million, driven by increased royalties. CPG and JambaGO revenues were $0.8 million as against $0.7 million in the year-earlier quarter.
Comps at franchise-operated restaurants declined 1.3% during the third quarter versus comps growth of 1.0% in the year-ago quarter. System-wide comps were down 3.4% as against the year-ago quarter's comps growth of 2.5%.
Operating margin decreased 150 bps year over year to 5.4% due to lower top line.
Store Update
Jamba operates 849 stores including 517 franchised and 287 company-owned units. The company unveiled 26 franchised restaurants in the domestic market and three stores at international locations. During the quarter, the company introduced JambaGO machines in 1000 markets thus, bringing the total number of JambaGO served locations to 1,800. The company plans to set up 60–80 stores in the U.S. and international market in 2013 as well as in 2014. The restaurateur is also intends to add JambaGO station in another 1,000 new locations by the end of 2014.
Emeryville, California-based Jamba lowered its guidance for 2013 following the lackluster third-quarter results. The company expects company-owned comps to be flat to up 1% as against the comps growth of 4%–6%.
Store-level operating margin is estimated to be 16%–17%, down from 20%. Operating margin was guided in the range of 1% to 2%, down from the prior expectation of 2.5%–3.0%.
Our Take
The company has posted lower-than-expected results in the past three quarters due to uncertain economy and lower consumer spending. A lower outlook for 2013 reflects that the company has a long way to go before its business boosting initiatives yield results.
Jamba holds a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). Some other players in the restaurant industry which look attractive at present include Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc. (RRGB - Free Report) , Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (CBRL - Free Report) and Bob Evans Farms, Inc. . While Red Robin holds a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Cracker Barrel and Bob Evans Farms carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

If you are a leader in a products company where traditional cost-cutting is starting to run its course (or is not effective), you may be considering rationalizing your portfolio. The benefits are obvious – eliminate excessive complexity and waste, cull unprofitable products, increase margins, and enable faster growth. However, not being proactive can lead to unwise cost cuts.
But portfolio changes have their risks as well, which is why so many organizations hesitate to undertake such efforts. Leading CPG companies are leveraging advanced analytics to eliminate these unknowns to maximize the profitability of their portfolios. Done right, portfolio optimization can set your business on a fresh, positive trajectory; done wrong, it can accelerate a company's demise.
At the heart of any SKU rationalization is an optimization equation with many potential options, constraints and interdependencies:
Do I cut a small volume product? What if that product is critical to a large customer?
- Is that low margin product just priced incorrectly, or should it be eliminated?
- If I eliminate a set of SKUs, what does that mean for the production line where they were produced?
- If I eliminated certain pack sizes or flavor variations, how will that impact the remaining products?
- Once I decide to eliminate certain products, what do I do with my existing inventory
Leading companies deploy advanced analytics to help them sort through the millions of possibilities for their portfolio. We've seen the most successful efforts include the following:
- Senior executive sponsorship: SKU and customer rationalization will affect every aspect of your organization. The degree of change management effort will be significant, and while the work will be done at a highly granular level, driving the adjustment to a successful conclusion requires strong executive support.
- Understand the marginal impact: Leading companies understand the marginal impact on the cost structure when the product mix changes (see Greater Growth by Pricing on the Margin)
- Consider all the options: Too often, companies crudely cut off the "long tail" without understanding a product's growth and profitability, how it fits within the category, or its relationship with other products and customer segments. Bundling, price changes, and changing the timing of production are some of the additional options to consider.
- Model, decide, act: Run multiple scenarios (within the context of a company's strategy) to determine the potential disposition of the portfolio and the financial impact to the business. Once decided, be relentless in execution. In our experience, slow implementations lead to lost momentum and backtracking.
- Manage for the future: Establish the ongoing capabilities, metrics, analytics, and management routines to be able to productively manage the portfolio on an ongoing basis.
Optimizing the portfolio, in many ways, has all the aspects of a major merger: the entire organization is affected, and it can position your business for substantial growth. But unless managed effectively, it will leave you in a weaker position. CPG companies that leverage advanced analytics to optimize their portfolios will have a distinct advantage over competitors that rely on antiquated methods.

Was it a breakup, or a bout of forgetfulness?
Something led a guest at Premier Inn to leave behind a pair of diamond earrings this holiday season. The gift was one of many items on a list of abandoned gifts the hotel chain released last week.
The head of communications at the U.K. hotel chain said she was surprised at the gifts patrons left behind.
The 25 rolls of leftover wrapping paper and 137 gift cards were less surprising than a forgotten iPhone 5. The 18 Christmas jumpers (sweaters to us North Americans) might have been left accidentally-on-purpose, but who would give up a Kindle Fire?
The hotel chain says it is trying to reunite guests with their lost gifts through its Facebook page.
If no one claims the gifts, at least hotel staff can catch up on the latest book craze with 17 copies of 50 Shades of Grey. There was also a Furby that was reportedly still talking, a One Direction t-shirt and 19 pairs of Christmas socks.
[ Related: Boy bursts out crying in joy at Christmas present ]
Guests leave strange things at hotels all the time. Last year, Travelodge U.K. released a list of forgotten items, including the keys to a Ferrari and a hamster named Fredrick.
Travelodge said the items left most often include clothes, teddy bears, books and phones.
Perhaps the least common was an 18 month old baby boy forgotten briefly by his parents as they rushed to a wedding.

Misbehavior by insurance companies helped push national health care reform to passage. The brazenness of Wall Street investment banks is now doing the same for financial regulation.
Now, the disaster along the Gulf Coast — already the largest oil spill since the wreck of the Exxon Valdez in 1989 — may play a similar role is spurring completion of energy and climate-change legislation, including changes in national policy at least as vital as the first two.
And this is where Maine, and wind power, come into play.
It's been a long time since Maine was a leader in any new industry, but it has managed to do so with wind. A state regulatory process that is clear, an administration that is committed and a public that was, at least initially, receptive, has led to the first large-scale installations in the East. Wind turbines have had an easier time in western states, which have a lot more space and, in some areas, a better resource.
While Maine companies have so far been involved mostly in planning and constructing wind projects, a manufacturing role in technology now dominated by Europe and China is not out of the question. These are the economic building blocks that help small states grow.
Lately, though, there has been a reaction which could develop into a backlash if not properly addressed.
After proceeding almost below the radar during the first half-dozen large projects, wind power is controversial in many Maine communities. Some towns have adopted moratoriums while others have enacted ordinances that arbitrarily bar wind towers within a mile of any residence.
Certain environmentalists have also been getting plenty of ink to charge that wind towers are "destroying" mountains while providing negligible benefit.
Some of the charges have a cartoonish quality to them, such as the repeated claim that wind-generated electricity has never replaced a fossil fuel plant.
The electricity grid is a large, complicated entity with multiple sources of generation and transmission. One power source is never going to "replace" another, but, over time, generating power from wind, sun, tides and possibly nuclear fission will allow us to shut down numerous coal and oil-burning plants.
That's the whole idea behind the congressional energy bill which, however slowly and imperfectly, aims to shift us from carbon-based to less environmentally destructive forms of energy. Maine's wind industry is a small part of this national scheme, but it would receive a major boost if this bill becomes law.
The idea that tax credits and stimulus grants make windpower uneconomic is even more flawed. Even today, the federal government subsidizes oil and natural gas drilling through the tax code, under the theory that investors won't take the risk without the write-offs. Support for wind power is a lot more sensible use of federal dollars today, and has been true for many emerging industries, from railroads to aerospace.
Then there is the question of siting. Don't build any more wind towers on land, goes the argument – build them out in the Gulf of Maine where no one can see them.
The trouble here is that offshore towers in deep water, while potentially a boon, are still theoretical. We know how to erect turbines on land, but deep ocean power is years away. By waiting, Maine would forfeit any advantage it has gained to date.
Not every site proposed for wind towers is a good one. Not every town or city where they're proposed will want to have them. But much of the current protest movement seems remarkably uninformed about the real costs and benefits.
No one ever said that there would be no impact to building wind towers in Maine. The case is that these are reasonable and limited impacts, and that building wind generation is in the public interest, as well as the private interests that obviously benefit from their construction.
One hopes the public is ultimately well informed about the choices we are making. Oil spills and the destruction of whole mountaintops by strip-mining for coal are just some of the inevitable consequences of not pursuing alternatives.
It took nine years to gain last week's federal approval of the Cape Wind project off Cape Cod, a campaign in which opponents of towers that would be barely visible from land made a caricature of environmentalism. Maine's track record, so far, is much more encouraging.
But keeping it that way will require people speaking up whenever those who pretend that we don't have to make choices about future energy use start amping up the rhetoric.

When You Get Angry With Your Children
Can you remember a day when nothing seemed to go right? Then you find that your bright little cherubs are stepping on your last nerve. Loved ones often take the brunt of our misplaced anger. You see them wilt in the face of your anger, and the guilt starts to eat at you. So what can be done?
First, you need to apologize to your child. Explain that you over reacted. Let her know it was not her fault. Tell her you love her.
This will do a number of things for you. It will help relieve your guilt. Your child will learn that she did not do something horribly wrong. Also, your child will learn that parents are not perfect, and she does not need to strive for perfection either. It will show her how to deal with her own anger, and how to apologize when the situation calls for it.
Second, realize that everyone has an occasional bad day. If this is an isolated incident, don't worry overly much about it. Consider joining a parents chat group were you can discuss your parental short comings with others. It can be very helpful to know you are not alone. I enjoy the http://www.cafemom.com/ site. (It is only for moms.)
If, however, you seem to be having a large number of bad days try to identify the stressors in your life and if possible alleviate them. (Also, consider that sometimes the chemicals in our brain get imbalanced, like during depression. A therapist can prescribe the medication to help re-balance those chemicals so that we can again cope with life's stressors.)
Some stressors can not be alleviated and just need to be worked through. An example would be dealing with death or prolonged illness. If your anger at the situation is being directed at your children you need to find a support group and/or a good therapist.
Your local hospice can refer you to a grief counselor. If you are worried about the cost of therapy, your pastor could be your therapist or, depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for free counseling at the hospice. Also, there are often state and federal programs that can provide free counseling. Here in Washington state the WIC program gives pregnant and nursing women access to counseling (among other things).
Other stressors in our life seem to be constant, like money. It does not seem to matter how much money you make it somehow still manages to be an issue. With items of this nature we just need to cope without letting the problems overwhelm us.
The first thing I would recommend is get enough sleep. Without proper sleep our ability to cope is severely diminished. Also, the experts say that sleep is a good stress reliever.
As your increasing the amount of sleep you get each day, try to carve out a few minutes for exercise. Exercise is another good basic stress reliever.
Finally take a few minutes for yourself. Even if it is only a few deep breaths before walking through the door to your children. You will all be better for the few minutes you take away from them.
If you are having trouble finding enough time in your day consider cancelling your cable service. As a whole we Americans spend entirely too much time in front of the television.
If you still can't find the time look at your to-do list and consider the importance of each item. Certainly, there is at least one item that can be sacrificed for you and your children's emotional well-being.
So, take a few deep breaths and good luck.

RECOMMENDED: Century Roofing & Siding
We saw their work at another home and had them come in for an estimate. How long does it take to do a roof?
With Century Roofing & Siding, our home in Kanata, Ontario (Ottawa area) was done in less than 9 hours!! They were fast, respectful of the environment (with tarps covering the area), efficient and friendly.
John Barresi came in to provide an estimate. After measuring extensively, he sat and went through all of the details of the work that would be done. Some companies like to give options - Century doesn't - they say what the job will be and deliver it. They don't skimp on things and in our area, where we get a lot of ice build up and windy weather, this has to be taken into account. He said right up front, we aren't the cheapest - but they are competitively priced.
At the end of the day, when it comes to home repairs, I really like one thing: minimal interference or inconvenience. After having gone through a number of renovations, losing access to various areas of your home over a prolonged period of time can get frustrating very quickly.
Roofing can take a few days so we were expecting at least 2 days with stuff all over the place. Imagine my surprise when I came back home from work to find several workers on the roof and then two hours later, everything was packed up and gone. At one point, I looked at the roof and thought they would have to be back to do one particular item. When I got up the following morning, it had already been done. They were like magic elves!!
The result looks spectacular!
So once again, Century Roofing & Siding --- HIGHLY recommended!

Peanut butter jar lands raccoon in a jam
The search for a tasty treat ended in a raccoon rescue Wednesday.
The raccoon found itself in a sticky situation in Fort Erie just north of the Peace Bridge after it was trapped at the top of a hydro transformer pole with a peanut butter jar wedged on its head.
"We have a very happy raccoon," Wendy Trombley, the manager at the Fort Erie SPCA, said after setting the animal free. "We think she is a mom, so there are some babies that are very happy as well.
"She was sitting at the top of pole. She tried to come down but was scared. She went back up to the very top and just sat. She didn't know what to do with herself.
"People have to wash the containers in their recycle bin. Raccoons like that little bit that we don't care about and they will go for it and get stuck."
It took about three hours to rescue the raccoon and release it. One witness said the raccoon had been up the hydro pole most of the night.
"It is kind of comical, but its hard for the animal to see and it's very hot in that little space in the jar," Trombley said. "I'm not sure how she ended up the pole. Somebody may have tried to help her and scared her or a dog may have frightened her."
The humane society, the Fort Erie Fire Department and the Canadian Niagara Power Company all assisted in the rescue.
Canadian Niagara Power staff did a quick canvass of the the neighborhood, including a nearby Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, and shut off the power to protect the animal control officer and the raccoon.
"The fire department came down and took our officer, Mark Dickson, up in the cherry-picker with the cage and the control stick," Trombley said. "He looped the racoon.
"We got her in the cage, and I was able to get my hand in. I grabbed the jar and I got Mark to pull down on the raccoon's body a bit and the jar slipped off.
"We needed the power off. The other danger is the raccoon falling as we were trying to rescue it.
"We were prepared on the ground for that. We had a cage stuffed with blankets and if she fell, we were going to try and catch her and give her a soft landing."

The Official String Theory Web Site:-->
Cosmology :--> Before the Big Bang? (basic - 1
- 2 / advanced)
Matter and radiation are gravitationally attractive, so
in a maximally symmetric spacetime filled with matter, the gravitational
force will inevitably cause any lumpiness in the matter to grow and
condense. That's how hydrogen gas turned into galaxies and stars. But
vacuum energy comes with a high vacuum pressure, and that high vacuum
pressure resists gravitational collapse as a kind of repulsive gravitational
force. The pressure of the vacuum energy flattens out the lumpiness,
and makes space get flatter, not lumpier, as it expands.
So one possible solution to the flatness problem would
be if our Universe went through a phase where the only energy density
present was a uniform vacuum energy. If this phase occurred before the
radiation-dominated era, then the Universe could evolve to be extraordinarily
flat when the radiation-dominated era began, so extraordinarily flat
that the lumpy evolution of the radiation- and matter-dominated periods
would be consistent with the high degree of remaining flatness that
is observed today.
This type of solution to the flatness problem was proposed
in the 1980s by cosmologist Alan Guth. The model is called the Inflationary
Universe. In the Inflation model, our Universe starts out as
a rapidly expanding bubble of pure vacuum energy, with no matter or
radiation. After a period of rapid expansion, or inflation, and rapid
cooling, the potential energy in the vacuum is converted through particle
physics processes into the kinetic energy of matter and radiation. The
Universe heats up again and we get the standard Big Bang.
So an inflationary phase before
the Big Bang could explain how the Big
Bang started with such extraordinary spatial flatness that it
is still so close to being flat today.
Inflationary models also solve the horizon problem. The
vacuum pressure accelerates the expansion of space in time so that a
photon can traverse much more of space than it could in a spacetime
filled with matter. To put it another way, the attractive force of matter
on light in some sense slows the light down by slowing down the expansion
of space itself. In an inflationary phase, the expansion of space is
accelerated by vacuum pressure from the cosmological constant, and light
gets farther faster because space is expanding faster.
If there were an inflationary phase of our Universe before
the radiation-dominated era of the Big Bang, then by the end of the
inflationary period, light could have crossed the whole Universe. And
so the isotropy of the radiation from the Big Bang would no longer be
inconsistent with the finiteness of the speed of light.
The inflationary model also solves the magnetic monopole
problem, because in the particle physics that underlies the inflationary
idea, there would only be one magnetic monopole per vacuum energy bubble.
That means only one magnetic monopole per Universe.
That's why the inflationary universe theory is still the
favored pre-Big Bang cosmology among cosmologists.
Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
The vacuum energy that drives the rapid expansion
in an inflationary cosmology comes from a scalar field that is part
of the spontaneous symmetry breaking dynamics of some unified theory
particle theory, say, a Grand Unified Theory or string theory.
This field is sometimes called the inflaton.
The average value of the inflaton at temperature T is the value at the
minimum of its potential energy at that temperature. The location of
this minimum changes with temperature, as is shown in the animation
to the right.
For temperatures T above some critical temperature Tcrit,
the minimum of the potential is at zero. But as the temperature cools,
the potential changes and a second minimum develops in the potential
at a nonzero value. This signals something called a phase transition,
like when steam cools and condenses into water. For water the critical
temperature Tcrit where this phase transition happens is
100°C, or 373°K.
The two minima in the potential represent the two possible
phases of the inflaton field, and of the Universe, at the critical temperature.
One phase has the minimum of the field f=0,
and the other phase represents the vacuum energy if the ground state
has f=f0.
According to the inflationary model, at the critical temperature,
spacetime starts to under go this phase transition from one minimum
to the other. But it doesn't do it smoothly, it stays in the old "false"
vacuum too long. This is called supercooling. This region of false vacuum
expands exponentially fast, and the vacuum energy of this false vacuum
is the cosmological constant for the expansion. It is this process that
is called Inflation and solves the flatness, horizon and monopole problems.
This region of false vacuum expands until bubbles of the
new broken symmetry phase with f=f0
form and collide, and eventually end the inflationary phase. The
potential energy of the vacuum is converted through to kinetic energy
of matter and radiation, and the Universe expands according to the Big
Bang model already outlined.
It's always good to have testable predictions from a theory
of physics, and the inflation theory has a distinct prediction about
the density variations in the cosmic microwave background. A bubble
of inflation consists of accelerating vacuum. In this accelerating vacuum,
a scalar field will have very small thermal fluctuations that are nearly
the same at every scale, and the fluctuations will be have a Gaussian
distribution. This prediction fits current observations and will be
tested with greater precision by future measurements of the cosmic microwave
Despite the prediction above, inflation as described above
is far from an ideal theory. It's too hard to stop the inflationary
phase, and the monopole problem has other ways of resurfacing in the
physics. Many of the assumptions that go into the model, such as an
initial high temperature phase and a single inflating bubble have been
questioned and alternative models have been developed.
Today's inflation models have evolved beyond the original
assumption of a single inflation event giving birth to a single Universe,
and feature scenarios where universes nucleate and inflate out of other
universes in the process called eternal inflation.
There is also another attempt to solve the problems of
Big Bang cosmology using a scalar field that never goes through an inflationary
period at all, but evolves so slowly so that we observe it as being
constant during our own era. This model is called quintessence,
after the ancient spiritual belief in the Quinta Essentia, the spiritual
matter from which the four forms of physical matter are made.
So where does string theory fit in all of this? That's
the next topic.

[4] Self-Awareness: [I Do Not Want To Degrade Myself through Corrupt Manners and Blameworthy Amusement]
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Allaah [The Most High] said in Surah at-Teen Aayaat 4-6:
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَاهُ أَسْفَلَ سَافِلِينَ
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
Verily, We created man of the best stature (mould); then We reduced him to the lowest of the low, save those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, then they shall have a reward without end (Paradise).
Few Reminders from Above Aayaat
Allaah created the human perfectly with different body parts and organs. Allaah did not leave anything the human needs-externally and internally; but despite all these great blessings which necessitates that they show gratitude to Allaah, the majority of them are not thankful. Rather, they are preoccupied in play and blameworthy amusement. Indeed, they bring themselves down to the lowest level through things that degrade one's manners, therefore Allaah will reduce them to the lowest of the low-the lowest part of the hell fire – the place of the disobedient ones and those who turn away from their Lord. The only ones who will be saved from this [evil end] are those whom Allaah has blessed with Imaan, righteous action and virtuous lofty manners.
To be continued…InShaaAllaah

I dont have an S2, but my new SP-01 will hit a 6" plate at 35 yards
Rhart--give it another try. I've had days when I couldn't shoot under 2" at 50 yards from a rest with any gun I have. It was me. Go back to the range rested, with minimal medications, and in a good mood. That seems to help me get back on track. And forget the last "bad" range session. Start over, remain objective and confident. Joe
Haven't had a chance to take my Shadow 2 to the range yet, hopefully this week. I hope that I get at least the same accuracy from it that I do from my EAA Elite Match which prints about 5 shot half inch groups at 7 yards standing unsupported. 4 inch groups 30 rounds at 10 yards and about the same 4 inch groups 30 rounds at 15 yards. My eyesight and shaky arms are getting to old to do much better than that.my regular SP-01 Tactical will print about 6-7 inch 10 shot groups from a rest at 25 yards usually.
I had a chance to pick up a Shadow 2, after looking it over I wasn't sold on them.....one issue I had was that the barrel bushing was just stock, the barrel actually rattled a bit, versus my SP01 with the CGW 10X that had a tight tolerance......the S2 was a knockout in the looks dept but functionally it was a little under-whelming.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Indiana Guardsman has pleaded guilty to having homemade explosive devices in his vehicle when he was stopped in Ohio.
Andrew Boguslawski (boh-guhs-LAW'-skee) faces 10 years in prison after pleading guilty Tuesday to having nine unregistered bombs found in his vehicle and four devices that could be converted into bombs. He also admitted having 20 explosive devices or components at his Indiana home.
Boguslawski entered his plea before a federal magistrate in Columbus during an hourlong hearing.
His attorney has said Boguslawski had the illegal devices but planned to use them for legitimate training purposes.
An Ohio trooper stopped Boguslawski on Jan. 1 for speeding on Interstate 70 west of Columbus.

it was a good run as a domesticated member of society, i learned a lot from being here.. but it's time again for me to hit the road. this whole wide country is my home, and i feel like i'm living in a corner closet in the basement of this big beautiful place.
i am a transient being. i simply can't stay put, i'm not programmed that way. this year i'm traveling west again, i haven't seen the mountains for six years. they're calling.. and this time i have to answer. i'll be leaving later in the summer, and staying in that direction into early spring. what exactly i'll be up to i'm not entirely sure, but it will be an adventure. there's more to do and learn.
i've decided it's about time i get connected with social media, and share photographs and stories along the way. technology has come a long way since the last time i lived out of a rucksack, and it will be a whole new experience. a lot different than having a roll of quarters and a calling card, and using guest access on library computers when moving from town to town. and not to mention cross country finds in my since favourite GPS treasure hunt game, Geocaching!
you can follow me on facebook at:
or here on my blog:
thanks to everyone for being a part of the journey. moving along...

Glad to hear you're getting back out there. I'm feeling the same urge but have to work through summer at least.ReplyDeleteReplies
i too have to work through the summer, but will also have to transition myself back into the mobile lifestyle. i've been sitting for quite some time, it'll be a process. it's been too long!Delete
