Have you heard of the term "Smash Factor"?
Smash Factor is the term used for the measurement of your ball speed, divided by your clubhead speed. This measurement is so important, because it tells you how well you hit the ball in terms of transferring speed into the golf ball.
And the largest influence on this measurement, is how accurately you're hitting the ball on the sweetspot.
The penalties for not hitting a shot on the center of the clubface are huge.
For example, in 1998 Golf Digest did a study into how much off-center impact shots affect distance. Here is the result of the study for a 100 mph swing.
So contacting a golf ball an inch off the center of the clubface with a 100 mph swing speed, results in a 31 yard loss of distance!
Ok, it's pretty clear that contacting the ball on the center of the clubface is pretty important for distance! And I'm going to give you a cool way to measure your smash factor.
Before I share that with you, let me just say, there are a number of very expensive pieces of equipment that will give you your smash factor. One is trackman, and this piece of equipment costs about $25,000.
Naturally, for the average golfer, that is out of the question. You could probably get on one of those machines to see your impact numbers, but you probably couldn't get on one often.
So here's my DIY way to workout your smash factor and try to improve it.
This is the one I recommend you get (you'll need two remember) for this.
Once you have two portable swing speed radars, you'll also need a calculator (you probably have one on your cell phone).
Then you need to setup one swing speed radar so it records your swing speed, and the other one laying on the ground 3 feet in front of your ball so your ball flies over it.
Once this is setup, then you simply need to hit drives so your ball flies directly over the swing speed radar that is lying on the ground.
When you do that you'll get two results. One will be your swing speed, and the other will be your ball speed. Let's say your swing is 90 mph and your ball speed is 120mph.
So you simply divide 120 (ball speed) by 90 (swing speed) and you get 1.33. That's your smash factor.
Apparently Tiger Woods has a smash factor of 1.48, whereas the average golfer has a smash factor of 1.20.
So if you find your smash factor is about 1.20 when you do this, then simply by increasing this number will mean longer drives – and that will be exciting.
Your goal should be to have between a 1.47 and 1.5 smash factor.
So there you go, that's a very cheap way for you to measure smash factor. It's a critical stat when it comes to distance. So put that into action, improve your smash factor and reap the rewards.
Important Note: You may find when you do this that the center of your clubface (on a driver) does not produce the highest smash factor. That's because for most modern drivers the sweetspot is above the center of the clubface.


The new 2019 Lexus UX will hit the market soon. We are not familiar with every detail at this moment, but let's check out why this model is surrounded by hype!
Lexus has finally launched the long-anticipated compact crossover called the UX, and we are excited to see the car in the market. It is the first model created by this brand that will come with the newly developed GA-C platform. It looks similar to the LC500 model, but it has a family feel to it. This car has interesting features both inside and outside the car, so let's check it out.
The spindle grille is something we have got used to seeing from this brand, but there are weird corner stilts which are more extreme than on the other models. Furthermore, the hood is curved sharply, whereas the headlights are similar to the ones of the LC500, but they have a different LED strip. With the black mirror caps and roof rack, together with the black spindle grille, Lexus achieved enough contrast all over the car.
The rear end will confuse you, and at first, you will wonder whether this is just a poorly photoshopped picture. Not that it looks bad, but you need to take a second look just to make sure everything is a part of this car, and nothing is just glued to it.
The interior is a combination of different details, and you can clearly see some German and Japanese influence, but if you take a closer look, there is obviously some American DNA as well. Lexus managed to create an attractive and futuristic cabin without losing its own identity.
The infotainment system of the 2019 Lexus UX is large with integrated digital display and embedded appearance. The dashboard is slightly curved, and the driver feels entirely in control of the car, whereas the steering wheel features a bunch of controls. Although the cabin is driver-oriented, the passengers will get the same support and comfort.
There is a lot of room in the front and back. Leather dominates the interior whereas the top portion of the door trim meets the dashboard, whereas the bottom part of the door trim meets the HVAC vents and it seems as it disappears into nothingness.
The engine Lexus uses for the new UX 200 is a brand-new 2.0-liter gasoline engine. According to the brand, this unit provides high-speed combustion, multi-hole direct fuel injectors, intelligent variable valve timing and variable cooling system and oil pump. The engine is connected to the Direct Shift CVT. This transmission is smooth and responsive, and you won't feel the car shift the gears.
Furthermore, it should enhance the fuel economy. The company didn't describe this engine in detail, but we know for a fact that it delivers 168 horsepower. Torque numbers are unknown at the moment. This may seem as low, but the 2019 Lexus UX is not a performance vehicle, and it is not a particularly large car either, and it should be enough for a great driving experience.
As for the UX 250h, it will use a new-generation hybrid power system that comes with a brand-new transaxle. Power control unit for maximum power. The only thing Lexus was willing to disclose is that this vehicle produces 176 hp and for all, we know this super-new system can use a redesigned 2.5-liter from the NX model. We need to wait for the official information.
Lexus still has to reveal the price for the new UX model. The NX is the brand's smallest crossover. And it currently costs $35,985 and $38,385 for the gasoline-powered and hybrid model respectively. With that in mind, we expect the UX 200 to start around $30,000. Whereas the hybrid will be around $3,000-$4,000 more expensive.
The 2019 Lexus UX will be launched in December 2018. Whereas the production of this car will kick off sometime in fall! Once it goes on sale, the new model will fight against Audi Q3 and BMW X1.


This solution has been created and tested by a colleague of mine Johan Schrewelius, he has done most of the work so I cannot give him enough credit for this. We have been using it for a while now and it works great, it is 100% unsupported 😉 as we change values on a read-only variables in the TS.
6.Change the second read-only variable _SMSTSBootUEFI to true and then the TS and all builtin steps for formatting will see that it is a machine running UEFI.
To implement our solution, you need to download Legacy2Uefi as well as TSEnv2.exe from 1E (http://info.1e.com/website-freetools-1e-tsenv2) 1E has been generous enough to share this powerful tool with us, and we cannot thank them enough.
TSEnv2.exe comes in both 32- and 64-bit versions, it is also depending on native Configuration Manager libraries, at least tscore.dll. This makes it reasonable to include it in our boot images using OSDInjection.
To include TSEnv2.exe in already existing, as well as in new, boot images do the following on the primary site server or CAS that "owns" the images. And yes you can use the MDT feature as well to include the files when you create a new MDT Boot Image instead.
Remark – there's only one osdinjection.xml, not one per architecture.
The steps within in the group will be explained over the next couple of pages.
ConfigUEFI.ps1 is designed to utilize HP's Bios Configuration utility, which is not included. You also need to create your BIOS password file with the HP tool.
The rest of the Task Sequence will after the reboot execute as UEFI, no PXE boot needed totally unattended, except for Lenovo Thinkcentre machines but that is a different topic.
Recording from our session @ TechED NA 2014 is now available!
EMS is the new black!
Can you please show what it is in the TS, not just a picture?
Ska TSEnv2.exe ligga under SMS\bin\x64 i iso-filen? Den kommer inte med trots att vi uppdaterat boot imagen och skapat en ny iso.
sorry för sent svar, nej den syns inte utan ligger i Boot.wim filen.
Can you please show the whole TS or share the XML?
Please share the complete task sequence. Is this valid for fresh install as well?
This is gold! I've tested this out on Dell machines (Win7 legacy bios -> Win10 UEFI) and it works flawlessly.
When the system restarts back into WinPE, the task sequence does not continue. It comes back to the UI wizard to select a task sequence.
Never mind that last comment I made. When it boots back into WinPE, it fails immediately. What WinPE files exactly should I be using to use to boot back into WinPE for the TS to start again?
On our Dell Optiplex 790's, I am unable to add the UEFI boot option. I even messed around with LTIApply.wsf, BCDEDIT, and BCDBoot, and it seems like you cannot add a UEFI boot option while booted legacy. We have lots of older Dell systems, so that is a problem for me. If I go into the BIOS and add the boot option manually, it does reboot and continue the task sequence… so close, yet so far.
If anyone knows how to get this to work, I would be very grateful!
Tack för svaret, det fungerar perfekt!
I had the same issue but found that having the TSENV2 statement further down my task sequence seemed to work i.e. after setting your normal TS settings.
I also created a solution for this task. With another approach. I have an "Apply Operating System Image" step in my task sequence that is only executed if "_SMSTSBootUEFI is true". But if "_SMSTSBootUEFI is false" then I simply execute a script that takes all the information from the _SMSTaskSequence variable. From there I get the ConfigFileName, ConfigFilePackage, DestinationVariable, ImageIndex and ImagePackageID. Having this information I can download the sources by executing smsswd.exe and then I apply the image using DISM.exe. This all works without reboot. This switch in BIOS has to be done with the corresponding vendor tools. If you're interested in more details just leave a comment. We plan to use my solution for over 60'000 systems.
This worked like a magic! Great thanks to you! It actually saved our environment.
We are not able to boot with UEFI because PXE boot doesn't work in it properly. But wee need GPT to utilize TPM 2.0 (which can be used only with UEFI). Now we boot in legacy mode and then switch to UEFI following your advise.
I had to modify TS slightly to locate ConfigUEFI.ps1, uefi.txt and BiosConfigUtility64.exe for HP on a network share instead of you %BiosShare%.
BTW, what %BiosShare% corresponds to? I don't see such variable in the list of standard variables.
I'm just working now on similliar solution for my MDT and I have probably stupid question :).
I was able to change my BIOS setting with vendor's script, I have changed IsUEFI TS variable.
I have run first tests without any reboot during Windows PE phase – I mean, I haven't rebooted to UEFI Windows PE. It have partitione in GPT and applied Windows. Task sequence just goes smoothly to the end and in msinfo32 there is information, that it is BIOS set to UEFI and SecureBoot state set to On. For what reason the reboot to PE is required? Am I missing something?
Trying this on Dell's. The change to UEFI works using CCTK, but I don't seem to be able to alter the UEFI boot order before the reboot. If a USB stick is left in the system during the reboot then it wants to boot to that device rather than to the temporary partition where the boot image was stored.
On Reboot to the media Partition I got a "invalid Partition table. Any advice?
Matias what's your solution look like?
I hit a probleem when my HP desktops refused to boot from flat FAT32 partitions. I modified some steps to make WinPE boot more UEFI compliant (mainly creating separate EFI boot partition).
Kai, make sure that "Make this the Boot Disk" to the 4gb media partition task. I went as far as adding a uefi partition task right before it and right after the SET _SMSTSBootUEFI=true task. Make sure for the restart task that it is the currently installed os.
If I need to make additional restart(s), would I need to run the same three steps again?
Currently rebooting (using these steps) after switching dell bios to uefi and enabling tpm but I then need to activate TPM after rebooting into the media partition and reboot one more time.
Has anyone gotten this to work with an MDT integrated SCCM task sequence? We have SCCM (current branch) 1606 with MDT 2013 u2 integrated. Everything works as expected until the apply OS task sequence step. It gives a 0x00000001 error at that point. I'm guessing I'd have no problems if I was just using a standard SCCM task sequence.
does anybody have an idea how can I set the UEFI config in the WinPE?
My problem is that I can't use a network share, because it's not possible to run a command line in the WinPE with a different User.
Also it's not possible to download a package, because there is no partition at this step.
My last idea is to copy the files in the Boot Image, but this would be my last way to solve this issue.
You can use the "Map Network drive step" in WinPE and there you can specify credentials to map the network drive, works just fine.
I am using MDT, and have the same issue as Brad Williams. When it reboots it starts the Deployment Task Sequence again.
thanks for your fast help. This worked very well for me!
I use the new method included in ConfigMgr 1610, but I get an error during the reboot after creating the FAT partition and do the Dell UEFI enabling.
I noticed that Microsoft explains the configuration and that the GPT disk is not configured to be active….could that be the issue ?
I have this setup in ConfigMgr 1606 + MDT 2013 8443.
I have it executing just after the "Preinstall" step (within WinPE), screenshot in this link.
It works fine up to the point where it restarts. It restarts into WinPE, and then it fails while it is initializing and cannot find the TS.
The SMSTS.log file shows this error, and retries 20+ times.
and then it gives these two errors after it gives up.
Do I need to place this in a different part of the TS? from the screenshots provided in this post I noticed it was placed after the second "Status 1" step and just before normal formatting prior to laying down the OS.
Should I not be trying this with an MDT integrated TS? I know 1610 was just released and it provides this function, however I noticed there are some bugs people are finding when upgrading from 1606. That, and it hasn't been made available to my environment yet.
Doe anyone know the equivalent variables in MDT for _SMSTSServiceStartType and _SMSTSBootUEFI? Those are SCCM varaibles so changing them in MDT won't have an effect.
We are using this method in our task sequence and really like it. I had a question though. What happens when you add a new driver to Winpe? Doesn't that driver need to be present in the expanded boot media also? Do you just create a new ISO from the updated boot image, expand it, and then update your package?
I am seeing this issue on a new Dell Optiplex 7050, where it will perform all the steps up until the reboot into the boot media, then network fails.

The David Collection/The collections/Islamic Art/Materials/Miniature Painting
Islamic miniature painting is generally understood to mean small paintings that are or once were part of a manuscript, used as a frontispiece or an illustration for a text. Drawings and individual paintings have, however, also been preserved. They were either sketches or were intended to be placed as independent works of art in an album.
The miniatures usually had a paper base, but cardboard and in rare cases cotton or silk cloth were also used. The brilliant colors are usually opaque.
The oldest preserved miniature paintings were made in around the year 1000, but not until around 1200 were they found in larger numbers. Islamic miniature painting is often categorized rather summarily into four regional schools: the Arab, the Persian, the Indian, and the Ottoman Turkish.

Miniature from Hafiz-i Abru's Majma al-tawarikh. "A Giant Fish Rescues Abu Ubayda and his Men from Dying of Starvation"
Iran (Afghanistan), Herat; c. 1425
Leaf: 42.8 × 33.6 cm
The style of the miniatures from this manuscript is slightly old-fashioned compared with the otherwise refined Timurid painting, and it has in fact been called Shah Rukh's historical style. Its inspiration was undoubtedly the illustrations made about a century earlier for Rashid al-Din's famous "History of the World."
The rescue of the close companion of the Prophet, Abu Ubayda, from starvation is one of Islam's early miracles. His desperate men have eaten the leaves from the trees and although they do not look quite as emaciated as the two dromedaries lying on the ground, the yellow desert underlines the gravity of the situation. When a giant fish appears, the Muslims are saved from dying of starvation.

E is for Explore!: Let's Read Marathon!
Awesome idea to help kids comprehend from Fabulous in Fourth and Ms. Winston's Blog. I adjusted the activities and timeframe (older kids read for 10 minute intervals) for younger children who aren't reading chapter books yet. A reading marathon begins with kids choosing a book. Then, you set a timer. Students read for a bit, then stop and complete a task. The tasks they do will help them remember key details from the text. When they have finished all the tasks, they make a timeline. Incorporate some technology into the activity with Popplet! Kids can create a mind map to organize their thoughts.

John 11:25,26 - Experiencing Resurrection Power!
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in
me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will
never die. Do you believe this?" John 11:25, 26 (NIV)
The Seventh Sign of John's Gospel
The final sign miracle in John's Gospel is the climax of Jesus' signs: He
raised Lazarus from the dead, proving to all that He was master even over
death. The amazing thing was that this miracle led directly to the plot to
arrest Him and put Him to death, along with Lazarus! [Word In Life SB]
It was after the raising of Lazarus from the dead that the chief priests,
Pharisees, and other religious leaders finally determined to put Jesus to
death (John 1 1:53). Until now, the conflict between them and the upstart
rabbi had been little more than a war of words. But the raising of Lazarus
was an incredible miracle, witnessed by many. Jesus had raised at least two
others, but those events had taken place in faraway Galilee (Mark 5:22-24,
35-43; Luke 7:11-17). By contrast, Lazarus' resurrection occurred in Bethany
a suburb of Jerusalem (John 11:18).
Not surprisingly, the miracle caused many to believe in Jesus (v. 45). It
provided undeniable proof that Jesus' bold claim must be true: "I am the
resurrection and the life .... and whoever lives and believes in Me shall
never die" (v. 25). Indeed, Lazarus became something of a curiosity, drawing
numerous onlookers who wanted to see for themselves the man whom Jesus had
brought back to life (12:9).
It was this kind of publicity that the leaders especially feared. Disputes
over religious matters were one thing, a rapidly growing movement led by a
popular Messiah-figure was something else. It was bound to have political
repercussions, as the Romans were ever on the lookout for signs of rebellion
(see "Jerusalem Surrounded," Luke21:20).
It was Caiaphas.the high priest (see Matt. 26:3) who saw the usefulness of
that fact. Why sacrifice the entire nation for the sake of Jesus, when Jesus
could be sacrificed for the sake of the nation (John 11:49-52)? Thus the
religious leaders began to scheme how they might bring Jesus before the
Romans and, hopefully, have Him put away on a charge of rebellion. And even
though Lazarus had just been brought back from the dead, they plotted to do
away with him as well, as he was living evidence of Jesus' power (12:10-11).
The plan succeeded brilliantly except for one detail that Caiaphas and his
fellow leaders either overlooked or refused to believe: in arranging His
death, they handed Him an opportunity to prove once and for all that He had
spoken the truth when He said, "I am the resurrection and the life." [Word
In Life SB]
Christ endured an agonizing death under the most humiliating circumstances
that we might have life. He gave up His precious life that He might vanquish
death. But He rose from the tomb, and the myriads of angels who came to
behold Him take up the life He had laid down heard His words of triumphant
joy as He stood above Joseph's rent sepulcher proclaiming: "I am the
resurrection, and the life."
The question, "If a man die, shall he live again?" has been answered. By
bearing the penalty of sin, by going down into the grave, Christ has
brightened the tomb for all who die in faith. God in human form has brought
life and immortality to light through the gospel. In dying, Christ secured
eternal life for all who believe in Him. 6T230,1
This is the fifth of Jesus' great "I am" revelations. [Bible Knowledge
Commentary]
"I am the resurrection, and the life." This language can be used only by the
Deity. All created things live by the will and power of God. They are
dependent recipients of the life of the Son of God. 5BC1113,4
I am the resurrection: I am the author or the cause of the resurrection. It
so depends on my power and will, that it may be said that I am the
resurrection itself. This is a most expressive way of saying that the whole
doctrine of the resurrection came from him, and the whole power to effect it
was his. (Barnes' Notes)
Martha believed that at his prayer God would give any thing, but he would
have her know that by his word he could work anything. Martha believed a
resurrection at the last day; Christ tells her that he had that power lodged
in his own hand, that the dead were to hear his voice <Jn 5:25>, whence it
was easy to infer, He that could raise a world of men that had been dead
many ages could doubtless raise one man that had been dead but four days.
(Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Thou sayest that thy brother shall rise again in the resurrection at the
last day; but by whom shall he arise if not by ME, who am the author of the
resurrection, and the source of life? And is it not as easy for me to raise
him now as to raise him then? (Adam Clarke Commentary)
As the resurrection of all depends on him, he intimated that it was not
indispensable that it should be deferred to the last day. He had power to do
it now as well as then. (Barnes' Notes)
Shall never die. Or, shall not die forever. Though he die a temporal death,
he shall not continue under its power forever; but shall have a resurrection
to life eternal. (Adam Clarke Commentary)
Shall never die-is better translated, " . . . shall not die forever." ....
Christ did not promise the prevention of death; He promised the life that
guarantees resurrection and eternal life. [Jamieson, Fausset, And Brown
Greek, "Shall by no means die forever." (Barnes' Notes)
Every man who has believed or shall believe in me, though his believing
shall not prevent him from dying a natural death, yet his body shall be
reanimated, and he shall live with me in an eternal glory. (Adam Clarke
Commentary)
Jesus' additional revelation (His fifth "I am" statement) concerns His
identity as the One who raises the dead, who guarantees that those who
believe in Him may die physically, but it will not last forever (John
11:26). Physical death will be openly and finally defeated at the future
resurrection. The raising of Lazarus is a foreshadowing of that great event
(cf. 1 Cor. 15). [Believer's SB]
"If You had been here, my brother would not have died" The words express
faith, and perhaps reproach. Jesus should have been there for His friend
Lazarus. But He wasn't. And Lazarus died.
If we look back over our lives, we can all identify times when God could
have intervened for us, but did not. He could have changed things. Yet for
some reason we can't understand, He did not. At such times it's likely that
we too mix a measure of faith with a measure of reproach.
Let's remember the rest of this story. Then let faith grow and reproach go.
The Jews buried a corpse on the day of death, wrapping the body in strips of
cloth or in a sheet. They did, however, return to the grave, to make sure
the person was really dead and not in a coma. Lazarus had been in his tomb
four days (v. 17) when Jesus arrived. When Lazarus responded to Jesus' call
and came out from the grave, there was not the shadow of doubt that Christ
had recalled a dead man to life. [The 365-Day Devotional Commentary]
The greatest miracle of Jesus was not raising Lazarus to physical life
again, for Martha's brother would again die. The greatest miracle was and is
in Jesus' power to give spiritual life to us who believe in Him. [Victor
Bible Reader's Companion mod]
Tokichi Ishii had an almost unparalleled criminal record. He had murdered
men, women and children in the most brutal way. Anyone who stood in his way
was pitilessly eliminated. Now he was in prison awaiting death. While in
prison he was visited by two Canadian women who tried to talk to him through
the bars, but he only glowered at them like a caged and savage animal. In
the end they abandoned the attempt; but they gave him a Bible, hoping that
it might succeed where they had failed. He began to read it, and, having
started, could not stop. He read on until he came to the story of the
Crucifixion. He came to the words: "Father, forgive them, for they know not
what they do." and these words broke him. "I stopped," he said. "I was
stabbed to the heart, as if pierced by a five-inch nail. Shall I call it the
love of Christ?  Shall I call it his compassion? I do not know what to call
it. I only know that I believed, and my hardness of heart was changed."
Later, when the condemned man went to the scaffold, he was no longer the
hardened, surly brute he once had been, but a smiling radiant man. The
murderer had been born again; Christ had brought Tokichi Ishii to life.
It does not need to be so dramatic as that. A man can become so selfish that
he is dead to the needs of others. A man can become so insensitive that he
is dead to the feelings of others. A man can become so involved in the petty
dishonesties and the petty disloyalties of life, that he is dead to honour.
A man can become so hopeless that he is filled with an inertia, which is
spiritual death. Jesus Christ can resurrect these men.  The witness of
history is that he has resurrected millions and millions of people like them
and his touch has not lost its ancient power. [Barclay Commentary]
At The Last Day (John 11:17-44)
The words Martha blurted out put her in a category shared by many modern
Christians.
Jesus had just said, "Your brother will rise again" (v. 23). And Martha
said, "I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day" (v.
But Jesus kept on probing. "I am the resurrection and the life," He said.
"Do you believe this?" (vv. 25-26)
You can almost see Martha nod in puzzlement. "'Yes, LORD,' she told Him, 'I
believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God.'"
It was after this that Jesus went on down to the tomb where Lazarus had laid
for four days, and gave the dead man back his life. And it is only in this
event that we can understand the implications of Jesus' conversation with
You see, Martha did believe. She was convinced that Jesus was the Son of
God. She was convinced that He could raise her brother-in the resurrection
of the last day. But Martha never stopped to think that Jesus could also
raise her brother then!
Like Martha, many modern Christians have a deep and abiding faith in Jesus.
They are sure He has won eternal life for them, and believe in a
resurrection which they will share. But, like Martha, many modern Christians
limit the power of Jesus to the future. They fail to realize that Jesus
brings life to the dead now.
He can take our dead hopes, and revive them. He can take our dormant
relationships, and revitalize them. He can transform the spiritually
indifferent, redirect the life of the sinner, and bring a vibrant newness to
every dead area within our lives.
Martha limited Jesus by expecting Him to act only in the future. Jesus in
raising Lazarus demonstrated that He is ready, willing, and able to act in
our now. [The 365-Day Devotional Commentary]
Jesus demonstrated that His resurrection power was not limited to sometime
in the future, but that His power to bring life knows no limits. .... This
event is a demonstration of Jesus' ability to make His resurrection power
available to His people-now!
It is one thing to believe that Jesus has the power to raise us up on the
last day. He does and He will. But it's something else to realize that
Jesus' power is unlimited now; that Jesus can bring new life to the deadened
areas of our own personalities; that because of Jesus' power, we can risk
taking actions that we might otherwise never have the courage to take. We
need never draw back from anything God asks, for the unlimited power of new
life is ours in Him. [Victor Teacher's Commentary]
Personal Application: Don't limit Jesus' power to act in your present. [The
365-Day Devotional Commentary]
Have you been there? Have you been called to stand at the thin line that
separates the living from the dead? Have you lain awake at night listening
to machines pumping air in and out of your lungs? Have you watched sickness
corrode and atrophy the body of a friend? Have you lingered behind at the
cemetery long after the others have left, gazing in disbelief at the metal
casket that contains the body that contained the soul of the one you can't
believe is gone?
If so, then this canyon is not unfamiliar to you.... Standing on the edge of
the canyon draws all of life into perspective. What matters and what doesn't
are easily distinguished....
It is possible that I'm addressing someone who is walking the canyon
wall.... If this is the case, please read the rest of this piece very
carefully. Look carefully at the scene described in John 11.
In this scene there are two people: Martha and Jesus. And for all practical
purposes they are the only two people in the universe.
Her words were full of despair. "If you had been here...." She stares into
the Master's face with confused eyes.... Lazarus was dead. And the one man
who could have made a difference didn't. He hadn't even made it for the
burial....
You see, if God is God anywhere, he has to be God in the face of death. Pop
psychology can deal with depression. Pep talks can deal with pessimism.
Prosperity can handle hunger. But only God can deal with our ultimate
dilemma-death. And only the God of the Bible has dared to stand on the
canyon's edge and offer an answer....
Jesus then made one of those claims that place him either on the throne or
in the asylum: "Your brother will rise again."
Martha misunderstood. (Who wouldn't have?) "l know he will rise again in the
resurrection at the last day.
That wasn't what Jesus meant....Imagine the setting: Jesus has intruded on
the enemy's turf; he's standing in Satan's territory, Death Canyon. His
stomach turns as he smells the sulfuric stench of the ex-angel, and he
winces as he hears the oppressed wails of those trapped in the prison. Satan
has been here. He has violated one of God's creations.
With his foot planted on the serpent's head, Jesus speaks loudly enough that
his words echo off the canyon walls.
"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even
though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die" (John
11:25)....
....Life confronts death-and wins! The wind stops. A cloud blocks the sun and
a bird chirps in the distance while a humiliated snake slithers between the
rocks and disappears into the ground....
But Jesus isn't through with Martha. With eyes locked on hers he asks the
greatest question found in Scripture, a question meant as much for you and
me as for Martha.
"Do you believe this?"....
This is a canyon question.... for then we must face ourselves as we really
are: rudderless humans tail spinning toward disaster. And we are forced to
see him for what he claims to be our only hope. God Came Near by Max Lucado
[Inspirational SB]
We call this world the land of the living; but it would in fact be more
correct to call it the land of the dying. Through Jesus Christ we know that
we are journeying, not to the sunset, but to the sunrise; we know, as
Mary Webb put it, that death is a gate on the sky-line. In the most real
sense we are not on our way to death, but on our way to life. [Barclay
Sharing Sadness
They went through the church doors, signed the guest registry and made their
way to a back pew. Neither of them knew Polly's father, but they had decided
to go to his funeral because Polly Brinkman was their classmate.
It wasn't a comfortable situation for Steve Parks or Don Shackelford, but
they couldn't begin to imagine how tough it must have been for Polly. As
they filed past the open coffin after the service, Polly looked up at them
and kind of smiled and cried at the same time.
The next Thursday Polly came back to school and made it a point to talk with
Don and Steve before class. "I really want to thank you guys for being at my
dad's funeral Saturday. It means a lot to me," Polly said.
"We didn't know what else we could do to help," Don offered.
"That was enough," Polly said. "Just knowing I had friends there made a
difference. I didn't feel so alone. Your being around made the service
easier to take. It was like you shared some of the hurt."
Jesus understood what it was like to grieve with friends. Read John 11:1-45
to see how Jesus shared his friends' grief and how Jesus' presence at a
funeral made a difference. [Youth SB]
How long does it usually take to work through the grieving process?
The normal grief process includes five distinct stages, although one or more
stages may overlap! First is denial or disbelief. This period may last as
little as a few moments to as much as several days (or even years in rare
cases).
Next is usually anger. "This is so unfair!" says the grieving one. This
stage often includes anger toward God for "allowing" this to happen. The
distorted logic of grief may even make the mourner wonder, "How could this
have happened to a Christian?"
Then the grieving person typically will move to guilt and say many sentences
starting with, "If only I had . . ." Some of this guilt may have validity
and need to be resolved, but most is false guilt prompted by the turmoil of
emotional pain and a sense of loss.
Once the extent of the loss settles in, true grief will appear, usually
manifested by deep sadness and tears. This normal reaction is necessary and
important. Although one does not have to be overcome with emotion to release
the stress of grief, holding back feelings prolongs and worsens the pain.
Sharing the first four stages of grief with the mourners can help them reach
a permanent resolution. Knowing what to expect can prepare them for the
emotional struggle, but the grieving process lasts longer for some than
others. How long it lasts is not as important as moving through the first
four stages toward the final stage of acceptance. As long as a person is
consistently working through that process, grieving is normal, healthy, and
necessary. [Passages Of Life SB]


Designed with a sharp as well as rounded end, it can effectively be used as a take anywhere defensive implement or control device. The smoothly finished point also doubles as a PDA stylus device. The external knurling and slightly upward tipped spring steel clip allow an exceptionally low slip grip while not snagging during deployment or holstering. The Mil-A-8625 "F" black anodizing over a non-marking finish provides a rock hard surface finish while the laser engraving boldly exhibits the Tuff-Writer logo and individual pen serial number on one side and proudly displays the made in the U.S.A. label on the other.
In addition, this pen also has a proprietary non-reflective / non-marking surface treatment which helps minimize fingerprint marks and reflection off the pen. The result is an extremely smooth, almost soft, look.

Harrigan-Scott, Gumbs Strike OECS Track Championships Gold
July 8, 2014 by bvioc

For some it was a tune up for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland later this month. For others, it was the end of competition for the 2014 season.
By time Tahesia Harrigan-Scott comfortably crossed the line to win the 100m, the final women's individual event Sunday evening's program, BVI athletes had bagged six medals—including two gold—in the revival of the OECS Track and Field Championships which were last held in 1991 in St. Lucia.
Harrigan-Scott captured gold with a wind aided time of 11.29 seconds, in a race that had a +4.1 meters per second tailwind. Teammate Karene King—who was second the in the 200m on Saturday night—placed fourth in 11.70.
King got to the line in 23.49 seconds in the 200m behind St. Vincent and the Grenadine's Kenike Alexander who ran 22.97. King advanced to the final with a time of 23.76.
Trevia Gumbs landed the Shot Put crown with a throw of 13.69m to collect the territory's other gold medal on Sunday.
The medal haul began on Saturday when Tynelle Gumbs opened her Javelin Throw account with a heave of 35.40m which stood up as the second best throw of the competition, to collect silver.
The third silver medal was bagged when Ashley Kelly ran her fastest 400m since her collegiate days to finish second behind Alexander in 53.17 seconds eclipsing the 53.43 season's best she ran at the BVI Twilight Invitational last month.
Lakeisha "Mimi" Warner finished third in a season ending 800m run with a time of 2 minutes, 16.14 seconds, to earn the bronze medal.
Tarique Moses ended his season with a personal best of 49.40 seconds after finishing fourth in the 400m. He ran 49.87 in the prelims to advance to the final.
Harrigan-Scott, King and Kelly, will be joined by Chantel Malone, Shaquoy Stephens, Keron Stoute and Eldred Henry at the Commonwealth Games, which will have track and field action from July 27-Aug 3.
Following the Commonwealth Games, Stephens and Henry will fly to Kamloops, Canada, for the NACAC U23 Championships, Aug 8-10.

Ball Engineer Master II Diver DM2020A - SA - BKWH TRANSFERABLE WARRANTY Full Set GREAT Condition
Posted by KWOJ in forums.watchuseek.com June 2, 2019, 6:32 p.m.
$975 $175 below median
Ball Engineer Master II
KWOJ
Green, Ohio
**Pending**
Asking net $975 + shipping. Will entertain serious offers, CONUS Only. No Trades Please.
Condition: Used, overall great condition. The double AR Sapphire Crystal is in mint condition. Case of the watch has minimal marks/scratches normal with a watch worn minimally, bracelet has some swirlies but overall great condition
Movement: BALL RR1102 (ETA 2836-2)
Crystal: AR Coated Sapphire
Dimensions: 42mm (13mm thickness)
Caseback: screw-in
Crown: Screw in Crowns
Strap/bracelet: SS Bracelet with extra links
WR: 300M
Up for grabs is my Ball Engineer Master II Diver (DM2020). This watch was purchased brand new 04/28/2018 and carries an Asurion warranty that will be transferred upon purchase. Standard Ball Warranties are non-transferrable, so if you're buying second hand, this is the only way to get a warranty on your Ball watch. Keep in mind this is the more rare white rotating bezel version, the other options were green and orange. I found this combination to be a bit more classy.
This watch is built like an absolute tank, it's easily my most solid watch & is in the same league as my Breitling in terms of build quality. While it measures in at 42mm, I find it wears a smidge larger than that. If you want to know more about this watch, there's a great video on YouTube that I found to be an accurate representation of everything this watch is. It's titled "Ball Engineer Master II Diver DM2020A-SA-BKGR Luxury Watch Review"
The overall condition of this watch is fantastic. You'll see some swirlies & scratches on the bracelet (moreso closer to the watch face than on the bottom buckle) and some slight hairline scratches/marks on the case of the watch. The crystal is in fantastic condition and the AR coating looks amazing, I tried to capture the brilliant blue that this gives off but wasn't very successful. It's been running a respectable + 6-8 seconds since I've purchased it. I tested it yesterday and after 27 hours it was running +7 seconds.
The Tritium is impressive, as this watch uses a LOT of it. If you've never experienced Tritium, keep in mind that it takes a minute for your eyes to adjust to low light to see it in all its glory. Is it as bright as fully charged lume? No, but after a solid 30 minutes, this will put the majority of lume to shame... in the movie theaters this thing looks incredible :)
In my opinion, all of the minor scratches/marks cannot be seen at your standard wrist distance, but I do want to point out a few that you can see in the photos if you look very closely:
-A Hairline scratch near the 9 o'clock position on the case
-Swirlies on the top 3 links closest to the 12 o'clock mark (ironically not many swirlies on the bottom of the bracelet)
-A few small marks on the case between the 8 - 11 pm marks
All of these marks are quite minor, but I want to point everything out that I can.
Regarding the warranty: The warranty expires 04/23/2020 and covers the movement, crystal, case & crowns... essentially the most important pieces. If they're unable to fix it they will refund you the original purchase price ($975). The reason this price is set at $975 is due to the fact that was the adjusted price after a return on a defective watch (long story - I purchased this for more than $975, but Asurion doesn't take into account trades/credits towards the purchase price). Asurion is one of the well respected warranty vendors, and a quick search on WUS will show many good experiences with them. Either way, this watch is a tank so it's highly unlikely you'll need to utilize it, but it is an extra piece of mind. I've transferred Asurion warranties before, it can take a few weeks, so don't be concerned if after the sale, it take a little bit of time to get that transferred.
What you see in the photos is the exact watch you'll receive, which includes:
Ball Engineer Master II Diver
Ball Warranty Card (not dated)
Ball Watch Box
Ball Outer Box
Ball CD
Please let me know if you have any questions, need additional photos or whatever! I have references available (along with some below). PayPal only - I only ship to verified PayPal Addresses for both your safety & mine.

BALL Watch Company SA is an American watch company based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. It was founded in 1891 by Webb C. Ball in Cleveland, Ohio, and is linked to American railroad history.
Before the development of railroads across the United States, there was no need for a standardization of time or any real accuracy in time keeping. Each town kept its own local time, based on the position of the sun. When trains began to connect really distant cities, it got problematic and difficult to avoid collisions. Moreover, there was no policy nor standards for the watches used by the railroad employees.
On April 18, 1891, a head-on collision between two trains in Kipton, Ohio resulted in several human deaths. At the time, trains were using the same lines in opposite directions and had to cross each other at defined crossing points. That day, one of the conductors' watches stopped for four minutes leading to the fatal collision.
In order to make train rides safer for travelers and employees of the railroads, Webb C. Ball was designated "Chief Time Inspector" and set up tests and standards for all watches used on the trains. Ball's criteria of accuracy and reliability were so strict that they later inspired others like the Swiss Official Testing Institute (COSC).

Lynn Business Education Foundation Donates Jeopardy! Games to Lynn High Schools
by Journal Staff • October 15, 2013 • 0 Comments
Pictured (left to right) Lynn Business Education Foundation President Brian Thomas, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Catherine Latham, Lynn English Principal Thomas Strangie, Lynn Business education Foundation Treasurer John Greeley and Lynn English social studies department chair Carol Ruggiero.
The Lynn Business Education Foundation has donated more than $4,000 worth of educational materials to schools in the City, purchasing Classroom Jeopardy! kits for five high schools and a LEGO education kit for Washington STEM Elementary.
Classical, English, St. Mary's, Tech and Fecteau-Leary received the Jeopardy! game, according to Lynn Business Education Foundation Executive Director Dr. Frederick M. Cole. "We saw that English, Classical and St. Mary's had a Jeopardy! competition at the end of last school year, so we thought we would see if they were interested in getting the classroom version," he said.
The Jeopardy! donation was the idea of foundation treasurer Jack Greeley, who suggested offering it to all the high schools, which gladly accepted. Each kit includes buzzers for the players to signal they want to answer, questions and scoring system. "It's exactly like what you see on TV," Cole said.
It is fitting that the primary point of contact for the game at Lynn English is social studies department chair Carol Ruggiero, who appeared on the TV game show in 1989. Ruggiero, who is in her 51st year teaching, said the kit will be put to good use.
"It will be used to review for tests, and by the academic teams that are preparing for competitions," Ruggiero said, mentioning the College Bowl, History Bowl and a team trying out for High School Quiz Show on WGBH. "There are all kinds of possibilities for it."
At the Washington STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) school, the LEGO kit will be used by the fledgling robotics team.
"We are very grateful for the continued support of the Lynn Business Education Foundation," said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Catherine C. Latham. "These educational tools they have provided will benefit students for a long time."

Haiti's death toll rises to over 2,100 after catastrophic earthquake
A 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck the Caribbean nation last weekend.
The death toll count has continued to rise in Haiti just days after a catastrophic 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck the Caribbean nation. According to CNN, as of Wednesday (Aug. 18), over 2,189 people have been confirmed dead and more than 12,268 injured. Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry called on the people of his country to "unite to rebuild Haiti" and said that the government is working to provide aid to the affected areas.
"We launch a solemn appeal to all of us to show solidarity to the victims," he said. "We launch a solemn appeal to all of us, to myself and my members in political, private, diaspora, civil society, to work on an appropriate response to the needs of the southern population."
Henry also urged the citizens to be mindful of the spread of COVID-19 during search and recovery efforts. "We lost many people in the disaster, let's avoid losing more because of the pandemic," he said.
The deadly earthquake struck last Saturday morning (Aug. 14), impacting 1.2 million people. UNICEF, the UN children's agency, estimated that $15 million is needed "to respond to the most urgent needs of at least 385,000 people" affected by the earthquake for the next eight weeks.
The U.S. Department of Defense formed a joint task force to assist USAID with relief. Additionally, the European Union and the United Nations designated more than $11 million in relief aid for Haiti.
"Little more than a decade on, Haiti is reeling once again," said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore. "And this disaster coincides with political instability, rising gang violence, alarmingly high rates of malnutrition among children and the COVID-19 pandemic — for which Haiti has received just 500,000 doses, despite requiring far more."
"It is now especially urgent to reach those impacted by the earthquake with vaccines."
