Exhaust Repair in Morada
The thing about exhaust pipes is that they are very vocal in letting you know that there is a problem. Unlike say a faulty suspension issue or a tire whose tread depth has worn too thin, if you have an issue with your exhaust pipe then sooner or later you are going to be aware of the fact by the noise that will emanate from the rear of your vehicle!
At Bill Parks Auto Repair we have been the leading exhaust repair team in Morada for years. This position that we enjoy is a result of years of dedicated and focused mechanical work that has sought to remedy the most complex exhaust related issues in a quick and effective manner. If you have detected an issue with your exhaust then contact us right away and let our expert team help you get back on the road in no time at all. Don't settle for second best call the number one team today.
Signs That you Need an Exhaust Pipe Repair
When most people think of an exhaust they automatically think that it is just a muffler and tail pipe, this couldn't be further from the truth. While the muffler and tail pipe are important parts of your exhaust the fact of the matter is that your exhaust system is made up of a series of chambers and pipes that start at the engine and travel all the way to the tail pipe. Each of these parts plays a unique role in ensuring that you and your car are protected from harmful gases, noise is reduced and that the engine runs to an optimal level.
Three signs that your exhaust is not up to scratch include:
- You can smell strong fumes that weren't evident previously.
- You have detected a range of hissing and popping sounds.
- You notice that you are not receiving the same bang for your buck from your gas.
Don't Leave it too Late
Exhaust pipes are generally one of the most obvious problems to fix as there will often be a clear noise or smell to let you know that something isn't right. That being said some Morada drivers will always surprise us with their inability to detect a problem with their exhaust.
Maybe it's the beautiful summers or the amazing standard of living that we enjoy here that fosters this laid back attitude but there have been countless times over the years where our mechanics have been shocked at how long it has taken for drivers to come see us. The longer you leave it to bring the exhaust problem to us, the less likely it is that we will be able to repair it. That is not to say that it will be impossible, but it will be harder and may mean having to replace the exhaust pipe. This will cost you time and money.

This book, the shortest among the twelve minor prophets, is a single twenty-one-verse oracle against Edom. Nothing is known of the author, although his prophecy against Edom, a neighbor and rival of Israel, indicates a date of composition sometime after the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in 587 B.C., when the Edomites apparently took advantage of the helpless people of Judah and Jerusalem (v. 11; Ps 137:7). The relations and rivalries between Israel and Edom are reflected in oracles against Edom (Is 34; Ez 35) and in the stories of their ancestors, the brothers Jacob and Esau (Gn 25–33).
The prophecy is a bitter cry for vengeance against Edom for its pride and its crimes. Mount Esau in Edom will be occupied and ravaged by the enemy, while Mount Zion will be restored to its former sanctity and security. The triumphant refrain of Israelite eschatology will be heard once more: "The kingdom is the Lord's!" The opening verses of this prophecy (vv. 1–5) are very similar to part of an oracle against Edom in Jer 49 (vv. 9, 14–16), suggesting that Israel's prophets drew upon traditional language and idioms in the composition of prophetic speech.
The book may be divided as follows:
- Edom's Fall Decreed (1–7)
- Edom's Betrayal of Judah (8–14)
- Edom's Fall and Judah's Restoration (15–21)
Edom's Fall Decreed
1The vision of Obadiah.
Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom:
We have heard a message from the LORD,
and a herald has been sent among the nations:
"Rise up, so we may go to war against it!"a
2Now I make you least among the nations;
you are utterly contemptible.
3The pride of your heart has deceived you—
you who dwell in mountain crevices,
in your lofty home,*
Who say in your heart,
"Who will bring me down to earth?"
4Though you soar like the eagle,
and your nest is set among the stars,
From there I will bring you down—
oracle of the LORD.
5If thieves came to you, robbers by night
—how you have been destroyed!—
would they not steal merely till they had enough?
If grape pickers came to you,
would they not leave some gleanings?* b
6* How Esau has been searched out,
his treasures hunted down!
7To the border they have driven you—
all your allies;
Your partners have deceived you,
they have overpowered you;
Those who eat your bread*
will replace you with foreigners,
who have no understanding.
Edom's Betrayal of Judah
8On that day—oracle of the LORD—will I not
make the wise disappear from Edom,
and understanding from Mount Esau?c
9Teman,* your warriors will be terror-stricken,
so that everyone on Mount Esau will be cut down.
10Because of violence to your brother* Jacob,
disgrace will cover you,
you will be done away with forever!d
11On the day you stood by,
the day strangers carried off his possessions,
And foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you too were like one of them.* e
12* Do not gloat over the day of your brother,
the day of his disaster;
Do not exult over the people of Judah
on the day of their ruin;
Do not speak haughtily
on the day of distress!
13Do not enter the gate of my people
on the day of their calamity;
Do not gloat—especially you—over his misfortune
on the day of his calamity;
Do not lay hands upon his possessions
on the day of his calamity!
14Do not stand at the crossroads
to cut down his survivors;
Do not hand over his fugitives
on the day of distress!
Edom's Fall and Judah's Restoration
15Near is the day of the LORDf
against all the nations!
As you have done, so will it be done to you,
your conduct will come back upon your own head;
16As you drank* upon my holy mountain,
so will all the nations drink continually.
Yes, they will drink and swallow,
and will become as though they had not been.
17But on Mount Zion there will be some who escape;*
the mountain will be holy,
And the house of Jacob will take possession
of those who dispossessed them.g
18The house of Jacob will be a fire,
the house of Joseph a flame,
and the house of Esau stubble.
They will set it ablaze and devour it;
none will survive of the house of Esau,
for the LORD has spoken.
19They will take possession of the Negeb,* Mount Esau, the Shephelah, and Philistia, possess the countryside of Ephraim, the countryside of Samaria, Benjamin, and Gilead.h 20The exiles of this Israelite army will possess the Canaanite land as far as Zarephath,* and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the cities of the Negeb. 21And deliverers* will ascend Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingship shall be the LORD's.
* [3] Edom occupied the mountains southeast of Israel and the Dead Sea.
* [5] Something of value may escape the thief, and the grape picker always leaves something for the gleaners, but God's devastation of Edom will be complete.
* [6] With the past tense in vv. 5–7, the prophet presents a future event as if it had already happened.
* [7] Those who eat your bread: alliances were often established by covenant meals (cf. Gn 31:44–46). When Edom is destroyed, foreigners will replace the Edomites, who were known for wisdom (cf. v. 8; Jer 49:7; Jb 2:11).
* [9] Teman: a synonym for Edom; perhaps the name of a region or a city, the part representing the whole. Mount Esau: whatever its geographic reference, the phrase is an effective representation of Edom's arrogance.
* [10] Your brother: used with a double meaning referring to the common lineage of Israel and Edom, in which their ancestors were brothers, Jacob and Esau (Gn 25:19–26), and referring also to their political alliance, in which allies were called brothers (cf. Am 1:9, 11).
* [11] In 587 B.C., Edomites joined the invading Babylonian forces (v. 13) and captured escaping Judahites. The destruction of Jerusalem strengthened and expanded Edom's hold on Judah's southern territory.
* [12–14] The commands in vv. 12–14 are not to be understood as future prohibitions but as descriptions of crimes Edom in fact already committed on the day of Jerusalem's fall described in v. 11.
* [16] As you drank: i.e., Judah has suffered the punishment of divine wrath in 587 B.C. The oracle promises a similar fate for the nations, especially Edom (v. 18). The metaphor "drinking the cup of God's wrath" occurs often in the Bible; cf. Jb 21:20; Is 51:17–23; Jer 25:15–16; Rev 14:10.
* [17–19] The Israelites will be restored and will occupy the lands of those who oppressed them. The survivors of Judah will be rejoined by the returned exiles from northern Israel.
* [19] Negeb: the area south of Judah and west of Edom. Gilead: east of the Jordan River.
* [20] Zarephath: a town in Phoenicia, north of Tyre; cf. 1 Kgs 17:10. Sepharad: perhaps Sardis in western Asia Minor. The later rabbis thought it was Spain.
* [21] Deliverers: the victorious Israelites who will rule over their enemies, as the ancient judges did; cf. Jgs 3:9, 15, 31; 10:1.
c. [1:8] Is 29:14; 1 Cor 1:19.

Understanding Mold
Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems. Consider these facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or on a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens, irritants, and toxins.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

The Mold Remediation Process
Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our "typical" process:
Step 1: Emergency Contact - (269) 686-0664
The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our representative will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel.
Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
We carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Mold feeds on cellulose and water and can be hidden from plain view. We use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources.
Step 3: Mold Containment
To keep the mold spores from spreading further, we will use various mold containment procedures. Our professionals may use physical barriers and negative air pressure to isolate the contaminated area and to help prevent the mold spores from spreading through your Hastings, MI home or business. Also, we'll turn off the property's fans and heating and cooling systems to prevent the spread of mold.
Step 4: Air Filtration
We use powerful air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, and other filtration equipment to remove microscopic mold spores out of the air. This air filtration process and our mold containment process help to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.
Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
The mold remediation process depends on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears. We'll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. It may be necessary to remove and dispose of mold-infested porous materials, like drywall and carpeting, to remediate heavy mold growth.
Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing
SERVPRO of Allegan / Barry County and SERVPRO of Van Buren County will use a variety of cleaning techniques and products to clean your furnishings and personal belongings. Since mold infestations also cause a persistent musty odor, our professionals are also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.
Step 7: Restoration
Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may have been removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business. The restoration step gets your home or business back to normal.

A saint who has the title Fool-for-Christ is one who is known for his apparent, yet holy, insanity. This title in Russian is Yurodivyi.
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. (1 Corinthians 3:18-19 KJV)
One form of the ascetic Christian life is called foolishness for the sake of Christ. The fool-for-Christ set for himself the task of battling within himself the root of all sin, pride. In order to accomplish this he took on an unusual style of life, appearing as someone bereft of his mental faculties, thus bringing upon himself the ridicule of others. In addition he exposed the evil in the world through metaphorical and symbolic words and actions. He took this ascetic endeavor upon himself in order to humble himself and to also more effectively influence others, since most people respond to the usual ordinary sermon with indifference. The spiritual feat of foolishness for Christ was especially widespread in Russia. --(Excerpted from The Law of God, Holy Trinity Monastery, Jordanville, NY: 1993)
Saint Andrew of Constantinople is considered to be the first such saint, although Saint Basil of Moscow is also widely known.

How Much Sleep You Get Can Say A LOT About You
"Sleep is for the weak," they said. "Live for the grind," they said. Tell that to our snooze buttons.
- Respondents reporting 5 hours of sleep or less were more likely to be female
- Those with just a high school diploma were significantly more likely to sleep less than the recommended amount, while those with Bachelor's and advanced degrees enjoyed more sleep time
- Respondents enjoying 9+ hours of sleep per night were the most likely to be unemployed
- The target 8 hours of sleep had the highest percentage of married respondents
- There was no significant correlation between sleep amounts and driver behavior
For decades, we've been hearing about the science of sleep and the myriad health effects of a full night's slumber.
According to updated data from the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), adults aged 26 to 64 should receive 7-9 hours of sleep per night. And Arianna Huffington, the queen of sleep herself, has devoted an entire book and compilation of media resources to extolling the virtues of rest.
But while Huffington is popularizing her #SleepRevolution, startup bros, social media influencers, and Wall Street hustlers alike spout platitudes about avoiding sleep altogether and living for "the grind"—we're told to sleep when we're dead if we want to enjoy any measure of success.
So, who's getting a recommended amount of shut-eye? Who's going for the bare minimum? Who's hitting the snooze button and sleeping in? Curious about how sleep deprivation—or abundance—could map onto nationwide demographics, the data scientists at Insurify decided to get in bed with the data and discover how sleep duration correlates with personal identity.
The data scientists at Insurify, a car insurance quotes comparison website, collected information from their database of over 1.6 million car insurance applications, which ask questions about users' past seven years of driving history, vehicle type, and other relevant information. A random sample of shoppers was also surveyed about their sleep habits—specifically, how many hours of sleep they typically get per night: 5 or fewer, 6, 7, 8, or 9 or more. From the response data, Insurify's data team was able to determine the significant differences between categories of respondents.
Results: The State of Sleep in 2019
Overall, the results indicated that a plurality of respondents reported getting a standard amount of sleep (eight hours, widely accepted as the sweet spot for grown adults).
Sleep deprivation is gendered.
There was a major gender disparity when it came to respondents at both extremes. Perhaps the most compelling insight from the survey results was that an overwhelming percentage of respondents only getting 5 or fewer hours of sleep per night identified as female. That means that the "sleep divide" is largely a gendered divide.
Respondents who reported sleeping five or fewer hours a night were 30 percent more likely to be female than respondents reporting any other sleep amount (the gender breakdown for respondents sleeping six or more hours was exactly 50-50). That's a statistically significant imbalance between the sexes.
Don't sleep on education.
While pulling an all-nighter won't do wonders for your sleep cycle—a fact current students know all too well—the data suggests that the more degrees you get, the more nightly sleep you might enjoy.
Over 41 percent of respondents only sleeping five or fewer hours a night just had a high school diploma or equivalent. Among respondents getting in six or more hours, just over a third had the same education level.
Those with a Bachelor's degree or higher were 2.8 times as likely to sleep over 5 hours a night than the remainder of respondents.
These stats imply a positive correlation between advanced educational attainment and proper sleeping habits. Do the highly educated simply have more time and more luxury to get extra hours of nightly rest?
Work, sleep, repeat.
Not to make a blanket statement, but the numbers also indicated that currently employed respondents did not necessarily have the freedom to sleep in.
Those enjoying nine or more hours of sleep each night were, by a statistically significant margin, more likely to be unemployed than those reporting any other number. This gap could be explained by the 9-to-5 workday, which, while no longer in vogue amidst the rise of the gig economy, still eats up much of workers' waking hours and largely structures our social lives.
Wedding and bedding.
Who's been hitting the hay more—those who've wed or those who are still unhitched?
Respondents getting that target eight hours per night were more likely to be married than all other respondents. ("Single" refers to any respondent who is currently unmarried, regardless of actual relationship status.) Furthermore, respondents getting 6 or more hours of sleep per night were 26 percent more likely to be currently married than "5 or fewer" respondents. Clearly, sharing a marriage bed has some positive associations with getting a full night's rest.
What's driving this data?
In terms of speeding violations, accidents, DUI, and license suspensions, Insurify's data scientists found that incidence rates did not significantly correlate with any category of respondent—sleep-deprived or otherwise. Perhaps sleep amounts don't necessarily determine our driving behavior, but as we've seen, they might reveal deeper structural truths about who we are.
Those at the polar ends of the sleep spectrum gleaned the most fascinating insights. As we've seen, "extreme sleepers" getting more or less than the recommended amount for grown adults can more or less fall along lines of educational attainment, employment, and even gender. Furthermore, respondents at both ends of this spectrum had some demographic similarities: statistically, when compared to all other respondents, they were both more likely to be unemployed than not.
It seems, then, that the ultimate distinction is between those who go outside the recommended amount of sleep and those who enjoy the recommended amount. So, where do you lie?

Now let us be clear that we are not under the illusion that everyone who creates a wellness lifestyle will be immune from pain, sickness, and disease. There are many people who do everything right and still get sick and die. Some will argue that there are many people who do everything wrong and live long, seemingly healthy lives. However, since we have no way to predict who is who, we have to do our very best to reduce our risk and promote our health.
Over the years in private practice, we have seen how neglecting their health has drained people of thousands of dollars, sometimes to the point of bankruptcy. We have seen people who have saved up and waited their entire lives to take a dream trip or to send their kids to college, whose savings and dreams were siphoned away to pay for health care expenses. We have seen people with work injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome or neck/back pain who have been unable to work, unable to drive, and even unable to sleep without pain. We have seen family members whose entire lives become dominated by the necessity to care for another family member who is sick or in pain. The effects of long-term illness or disability on a family can be devastating; in many cases, it happens to families who are already over-stressed, under-loved, and emotionally maxed out.
On the other hand, We have seen people who have been unemployed due to their pain or health condition choose to adopt new healthy habits: within a short period of time they are back at work making money, taking care of themselves and their families again, and are able to put away savings for their retirement.
We have heard every excuse you can imagine as to why people believe they can't afford the time or money to invest in their health. But the truth is that you must invest in your health today, or disease may bankrupt you in every way later. If you don't have the time and money to improve your health while you feel good, what makes you think you will have the time and money to improve your health once you have lost it? As Anthony Robbins once said, "you can make time for wellness now or you can make time for sickness later." The choice is yours.
With regards to your wellness, the three main ideas that we really want to drive home . . .
- Health is not merely the absence of disease.
- The body has an innate intelligence that runs a series of complex systems that rely on proper balance and coordination in order to function correctly.
- By living a wellness lifestyle you can enrich your life with vibrant health.

The Iviron Monastery, (Greek: Ιβήρων) is one of the twenty monasteries located on the peninsula of Mount Athos in northeastern Greece. The monastery is located on an inlet on the northeast side of the peninsula and is third in precedence among the twenty monasteries on Mount Athos.
Iviron was established late in the tenth century on the site of an earlier monastery, the monastery of Clement. The monastery was founded by two Georgian (Iberian) monks, Ionnis and Euthyminus. Two chapels, Panaghia and John the Precursor, are from this early period. Located in the center of the monastery court the katholikon of the monastery was originally built in the first half of the eleventh century and restored in 1513 by the Iberian monk George Varasvatzes who was the abbot of the monastery for many years. The katholikon is dedicated to the memory of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and celebrates its feast day on August 15.
The monastic community is charged with restoration of damaged and ruined buildings in its care around the main monastery complex. Also, the skete of St. John the Baptist belongs to the monastery.
The most famous and miraculous icon in Mount Athos, the Panagia Portaitissa, is the monastery's prized possession.
The monastery is noted for many of its architectural features, including the columns in the nave, the post-Byzantine iconostasis of wood, the carved door into the inner narthex, and the katholikon frescos. Especially of note is the seven-branched silver lampstand that was presented by the people of Moscow in 1818 to Archimandrite Cyril for his monastery. The lampstand is shaped in the form of a lemon tree with thirty gilded lemons on it. Additionally, Iviron houses one of the richest and most valuable collection of investments and treasures among the communities on Mount Athos.
The monastery also has a library of over 15,000 printed books as well as more than 2,000 parchment manuscripts and other codices, including some one hundred Georgian language parchment texts. The library also holds a number of documents from the early imperial and patriarchal periods including a number of chrysobulls.

Defeat at Ai. 1But the Israelites acted treacherously with regard to the ban; Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah of the tribe of Judah, took goods that were under the ban,a and the anger of the LORD flared up against the Israelites.
2b Joshua next sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven and east of Bethel, with the order, "Go up and reconnoiter the land." When they had explored Ai, 3they returned to Joshua and advised, "Do not send all the people up; if only about two or three thousand go up, they can attack and overcome Ai. You need not tire all the people: the enemy there are few." 4About three thousand of the people made the attack, but they fled before the army at Ai, 5who killed some thirty-six of them. They pursued them from the city gate to the Shebarim, and defeated them on the descent, so that the confidence of the people melted away like water.
6Joshua, together with the elders of Israel, tore their garments and fell face down before the ark of the LORD until evening; and they threw dust on their heads. 7"Alas, Lord GOD," Joshua prayed, "why did you ever allow this people to cross over the Jordan, delivering us into the power of the Amorites, that they might destroy us? Would that we had been content to dwell on the other side of the Jordan. 8Please, Lord, what can I say, now that Israel has turned its back to its enemies? 9When the Canaanites and the other inhabitants of the land hear of it, they will close in around us and efface our name from the earth. What will you do for your great name?"c
10The LORD replied to Joshua: Stand up. Why are you lying there? 11d Israel has sinned: they have transgressed the covenant* which I enjoined on them. They have taken goods subject to the ban. They have stolen and lied, placing the goods in their baggage. 12If the Israelites cannot stand up to their enemies, but must turn their back to them, it is because they are under the ban. I will not continue to be with you unless you remove that which is banned from among you. 13Get up, sanctify the people.e Tell them, "Sanctify yourselves before tomorrow, for thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: That which is banned is in your midst, Israel. You cannot stand up to your enemies until you remove it from among you. 14In the morning you must come forward by tribes. The tribe which the LORD designates shall come forward by clans; the clan which the LORD designates shall come forward by families; the family which the LORD designates shall come forward one by one. 15Whoever is designated as having incurred the ban shall be destroyed by fire, with all that is his, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD and has committed a shameful crime in Israel."f
Achan's Guilt and Punishment. 16Early the next morning Joshua had Israel come forward by tribes, and the tribe of Judah was designated.* 17Then he had the clans of Judah come forward, and the clan of Zerah was designated. He had the clan of Zerahg come forward by families, and Zabdi was designated. 18Finally he had that family come forward one by one, and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah of the tribe of Judah, was designated. 19Joshua said to Achan, "My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and praise him by telling me what you have done; do not hide it from me." 20Achan answered Joshua, "I have indeed sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel. This is what I have done: 21Among the spoils, I saw a beautiful Babylonian mantle, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold fifty shekels in weight; I coveted them and I took them. They are now hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath." 22Joshua sent messengers and they ran to the tent and there they were, hidden in the tent, with the silver underneath. 23They took them from the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites, and spread them out before the LORD.
24Then Joshua and all Israel took Achan, son of Zerah, with the silver, the mantle, and the bar of gold, and with his sons and daughters, his ox, his donkey and his sheep, his tent, and all his possessions, and led them off to the Valley of Achor. 25Joshua said, "What misery have you caused us? May the LORD bring misery upon you today!"h And all Israel stoned him to death. They burnt them with fire and they stoned them. 26Over Achan they piled a great heap of stones, which remains to the present day.i Then the LORD turned from his anger. That is why the place is called the Valley of Achor* to this day.
* [7:11] Transgressed the covenant: the Hebrew word translated "transgressed" appears frequently in the first five chapters where it is used to describe how Israel "crossed" the Jordan River. There is a wordplay here to emphasize Israel's responsibility to follow God to the promised land and so to obey and not transgress the divine command.
* [7:16–18] Was designated: probably by means of the Urim and Thummim; cf. 1 Sm 14:38–42. See note on Ex 28:30.
* [7:26] Achor: "misery," or "disaster." The reference is to the saying of Joshua in v. 25, with an allusion also to the similar-sounding name of Achan.
a. [7:1] Jos 6:18; 22:20; 1 Chr 2:7.

Where does the phrase "the whole nine yards" come from? In 1982, William Safire called that "one of the great etymological mysteries of our time."
He thought the phrase originally referred to the capacity of a cement truck in cubic yards. But there are plenty of other theories.
Some people say it dates back to when square-riggers had three masts, each with three yards supporting the sails, so the whole nine yards meant the sails were fully set.
Another popular story holds that it refers to the length of an ammunition belt on World War II fighters — when a pilot had exhausted his ammunition, he said he had shot off the whole nine yards. Or it was the amount of cloth in the queen's bridal train, or in the Shroud of Turin. Or it had to do with a fourth-down play in football. Or it came from a joke about a prodigiously well-endowed Scotsman who gets his kilt caught in a door.
The Internet is full of just-so stories like these. They're often shaky in their facts about ammunition belts or cement trucks, but they come with assurances that the information came firsthand from an old Naval gunnery instructor or a Scottish tailor.
It used to be hard to debunk these tales, since the only way to track the expressions down was by rooting around in library stacks and newspaper morgues in search of a revealing early citation. But with the vast historical collections of books and newspapers that are now online, etymology has joined the list of activities you can do in your pajamas.
Word-sleuths traced the modern use of "the whole nine yards" as far back as a 1956 article in a magazine called Kentucky Happy Hunting Ground. Now they've discovered an even earlier version of the phrase, "the whole six yards," which was used in the rural South as early as 1912. That's still how the phrase goes in parts of the South, but it was inflated to "nine yards" when it caught on elsewhere, the same way the early 20th-century "cloud seven" was upgraded to our "cloud nine."
The unearthing of those early sources was deemed important enough to warrant a story in The New York Times, not an organ that ordinarily treats etymological discoveries as breaking news. True, the findings don't actually settle what if anything the phrase originally referred to. But they put the kibosh on the stories about World War II and the one about cement trucks, which hadn't been invented yet — though, actually, none of these stories was very plausible in the first place. `
Of course there could be a real story behind the expression, even if it's no more than a family joke about the long scarves that Aunt Florence used to knit as Christmas presents. But it could also be that somebody just plucked the words out of the air one Tuesday morning. One way or the other, the real birth of the expression was when somebody passed it along without caring what "nine yards" referred to.
The fact is that once you've said "the whole" it doesn't matter what words you finish it with or whether they mean anything or not — shooting match, enchilada, schmear, shebang? "The whole ball of wax" first showed up in the 1880s, though some writers say it comes from a 16th-century ritual for dividing up an estate among heirs. If you believe that, I've got a caboodle I want to sell you.
A number of years ago I started saying "the whole kazonga," just because I liked the sound of it. Nobody ever called me on it, but when I finally looked it up it turned out to be the name both of an Italian adult comic book and of a Zambian minister who was involved in a fertilizer scam. In the somewhat unlikely event that "the whole kazonga" ever catches on, you can be sure someone will explain how it originally comes from one or the other of those.
Still, it's hard to accept that it doesn't matter where the expression came from. Whether the measure is six yards or nine, it has a tantalizing specificity. It cries out for an explanation, and there are plenty of them at hand. Is it merely coincidence that six yards is the exact diameter of a pitcher's mound? The amount of cloth in a Varanasi sari? The length of a parachute line?
But that profusion of possibilities is the key to the idiom's appeal. If "the whole nine yards" had a definitive completion — if it went on to mention yards of cloth, cement or ammunition — it would never have caught on in the first place. It's like a line of poetry; it resonates without resolving.
Except that we don't think of this as poetry. A poet's images can bubble straight up out of the imagination; we don't ask for explanations or backstories. Would it really help to know where Gertrude Stein got "pigeons in the grass, alas" from? "Let me see, that was the day when Miss Stein and I were walking in the Luxembourg Gardens, and I started to sit on the lawn but she said, 'No, Alice' ... "
But that's just the kind of story we expect when the phrase originates in the collective imagination. So we rummage around in old ships and cement trucks looking for a secret key, as if there couldn't be any poetry in everyday language that didn't begin its life as prose.
