I watched the speeches until the repetiveness of them put me to sleep. But I was left to wonder one thing; wasn't this supposed to be a rally against going to war with Iraq?
As speaker after speaker approached the stage, I heard a lot of talk about the poor and racism and free Palestine. I heard about welfare and homelessness and the unemployment rate. I heard, over and over again, how Bush is a bad, evil man, how the real axis of evil lies right there in D.C., how much Amerikka sucks.
Not once did I hear the words Saddam or Hussein mentioned. I didn't even hear the word disarmament. I heard the ramblings of actors and actresses and professional protesters who used their pulpit to evangalize about their agendas and close with a half-hearted chant of No War in Iraq in case you forgot why they were supposed to be there.
I heard a word or two about peace, but it was in reference to Palestine. I certainly did not hear any alternative solutions to the possible war. I didn't hear anyone give ideas on how peace can come about.
I saw signs that depicted Bush as the devil, a terrorist and a shrub. I saw the obligatory No Blood for Oil signs, the Get out of Iraq signs and the Not in My Name signs.
So was this an anti-America rally or a pro-peace rally? Was it just a big publicity stunt/fundraiser for A.N.S.W.E.R. or was it an anti-war demonstration? Had I not known ahead of time what I was watching, I would never have assumed it was a protest against the war in Iraq. I would have assumed that it was a large group of people who despised their country. And I would have wondered what they were still doing living here if they cannot find anything good about it.
To address some comments, I did not explicitly state that everyone who is against military action in Iraq do not support our armed forces.
But I've been to enough pro-peace websites and I've been to one too many forums of the anti-war crusaders and I've heard it all. Our soldiers are assasins, baby killer, murderers for hire. They are stupid, gullible and brainwashed. Perhaps I should have stated more clearly that I think the majority, but not the whole of, the anti-war movement feels this way.
And about the phrases anti-war and pro-peace. Nobody is against peace and nobody is really pro war. They are catch-all phrases that perhaps do not speak the intricacy of what they really mean.
I don't like war. War is ugly, war is deadly, war is costly. But war, often times, is necessary. If it were not for war, think of where we would all be now. Think back to 1700's and work your way up and tell me what kind of country we would be in right now if we never fought for our beliefs or used might and power to take down tyranny; if we never stood up for those who could not go it alone.
I do think Saddam is dangerous. I do think he would not hesitate to use whatever weapons he has to destroy us. I do think he has supplied al-Queada with money and/or weapons and I do think, in the deepest part of my soul, that Saddam was grinning on the morning of September 11, 2001. I think I cannot in good conscience trust a man who pays off terrorists that kill innocent men and women and children. I cannot trust a man who kills his own people daily, who has no sense of human rights, who will starve children to death and think nothing of it.
I believe we can change the world. Not through protests or speeches, not through anarchy or socialism or turning on our own and calling each other terrorists for the cars we drive. We can change the world by changing the way countries like Iraq are run. When Iraq falls, Iran's leadership will fall, too. It will be a start towards freedom around the world.
But that is just my opinion, which does not matter one iota in the long run. The fact is, we are most certainly going to war. I am not going to question that decision because I think it's the right one.
What I will not do is stand around and decry the motives of our government while my relatives and neighbors are being shipped overseas. I am not going to let the leader of the country we are about to go to war with look at his satellite tv and see me waving in a sign that, in all essence, supports him.
I will wish our troops luck. I will think of them daily. And I will hope for the best.
You say give peace a chance, but you don't tell us the way to attain that peace. You say war is not the answer, but you don't tell us what is.
It's easy to make up chants and go along with the crowd and despise everything your country stands for. I would have more respect for you if you came up with some viable alternatives for making this world safe.

Usually held on the Spring Bank Holiday Sunday & Monday this year was held on the last weekend in May (Saturday & Sunday) to avoid clashing with the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
Possibly the hottest 2 days of the year…..not a cloud in the sky in this view of the approach to the track from the terrace area which once formed part of the Crystal Palace itself.
The track is about 0.5 miles & uses part of the the pre-war inner link, starting to the South of the concert bowl & joining the main track via a hair-pin & finishing in the elevated section to the North of the bowl. The red(ish) line below gives a rough line followed.
The warm weather improved times over previous years & 33 secs was a good time for the day.
There was good variety of machinery from a 1950 Doctor's car running in production saloons….
To full blown Le Mans replicas…..
(Via Hamish Jordan)
& all things in between….
Wide boy Anglias…who didn't have one?
Hill climb specials
An F3 Cooper T72
A Royale RP21 Driven by David Brise
& many more, from tiny Minis, to thundering pre war brutes & encompassing an eerily silent Nissan Leaf. On the Saturday there was even a Chaparral 2C

My Fabulous Orange Chair
I'm not sure what to call it, antique-ing or flea marketing, but whatever it is, Mom and I have spent some serious quality time doing it. This is the fabulous orange vinyl chair I haggled for in Paragould. I've just dumped it in my room for now, but I have big plans for this chair. The seat is in decent shape and could easily be reupholstered, but I really love the architecture of this fabulous little chair. Its just so simply pretty and functional.
Perhaps even better, on our way home from purchasing it, we stopped to check on Dad in the hay field. We took the chair down from my truck bed, and Dad sat in it while eating lunch. We got some strange looks from bypassers.

The Summer I Went Crazy
Serious content warning for this post. I talk about childhood abuse, trauma, suicide, and sexual assault. There's a video making the rounds on social media. I haven't watched it. I don't want to watch it. But I've seen the comments and I know, basically, what it's about: a child having a tantrum on a train. Comments have ranged from "this kid is probably autistic" to "this kid needs to be disciplined" and it strikes me this is just yet another way for people without kids to judge parents for not doing a good enough job; or people with kids

Father's Day is tough for me
I really wish it weren't. I cut my biological sire out of my life when I turned 26. That's 5 years this August and yet certain days haven't gotten easier for me. His birthday. Today. Any day that reminds me: I have no mortal father. (Immortal? Well, that's better read about at my religious blog.) The kind of insidious thing about abuse is the grooming for it can make it almost impossible to escape, even after you've escaped. My brain keeps bringing up the script that I'm a Bad Daughter for not calling him on his birthday, or today,

The Fear of Long Books
This is something I've noticed lately in my time spent in various author places online. There is an almost pathological fear of long books. I see post after post from people worrying about their word count, that their book is "too long." I see post after post of people saying "Keep your book short because all long books are unedited pieces of crap and you don't want to bore your reader!" (Paraphrased.) Many of these posts I see are referring to books in my genre — SFF. The word counts I'm seeing this about? 150K. 130K. 100K. *looks at

ok, so 6 days of taking my new meds. here are some notes on it. it works. i mean, it definitely stops my twitching when i'm awake. however i've noticed, now my twitching has stopped, that i also have nerve pain in my extremities. i just never noticed it before because i was always either jiggling my limbs or twitching. i'm not worried about the nerve pain, as it can take 2 weeks for gabapentin to get rid of it. so if i still have it after 3 weeks, i'll worry. i sleep really well on it. first 2

My Failed Relationship with Toe Socks
This post was originally published on my Medium profile on January 21st, 2016. Since I was 12 I've been in love with toe socks. They'd become the symbol for the quirky, cute, intelligent girl who didn't quite fit in but was still gorgeous according to conventional standards of beauty. They appeared in the glossy spreads of my teen magazines, desperately read in a grasping attempt to be relevant, to gain friends. Maybe if I did these things, people would like me…. It took me years to realize there was no magic formula between the covers of Seventeen or J-14

body betrayal
living with chronic illness and disability is living with a body that is constantly betraying you. i only speak from my own experience, which is that of someone who went from relatively healthy with a few weird but livable issues, to disabled, in constant pain, always fighting the truth of my own flesh. because of it i'm stranded in between believing fully in the social model of disability and knowing that no matter how much we improve society, i'm still going to hate being this way. it will always suck for me. there are people for whom the social

Finding Back the Glue
This post was originally posted on my Medium profile on January 13, 2016. Sometimes I imagine myself as a table, holding a mug. The mug is my sanity, and the table is my life, it's me, it's the sum total of experiences and memories and everything that makes me, me. The table has three uneven legs; they are wobbly and patched in places. One might actually be a real, human leg, but we're not asking where it came from. Glued together, stapled, hinged, whatever's available has been used. In the center of the table, between the legs, is a

Dubai has gained much fame and praise at the international level for the outstanding art and cultural events. The city has tried to bring in the local and global culture on the same platform to reintroduce the art to the world again. In a fast advancing technical world, the value of the Art is slowly diminishing. However, Dubai has constantly tried to ensure that the Art is never lost in the vicinity and instead flourished and glorified.
Another very unique and definitely appreciable effort of the organizers has produced the World Art Dubai. It will be based on a theme of "Inspiring Life with accessible art". Art has no boundaries, culture and of course no definite route. The contemporary art is as beautiful as it is the modern or the ancient. The taste of different art is different but the passion, zeal and the dedication is the same. The World Art Dubai will try to showcase the same with everyone.
It will host the fusion of various arts by the famous artist. It will include everything right from painting, sculptures, photography, innovative works and many others. Today's generation might have forget the true essence of art and the World Art Dubai will try to bring t back. This is also a part of growing artistic influence in the UAE. Various workshops, Art Galleries and other initiatives and innovations have already been in practice in UAE. The Art is truly spreading rapidly across the UAE and people are trying to remold their lifestyle. They are getting reintroduced to their local art and also getting introduced to the global art and style. Everyone is welcomed at the Dubai World Art, including the sellers and the buyers. The admirers and the lovers are also welcome.

The Association of Technology Acquisition Professionals
Please help us by contributing your vote in part
two of the topics we are considering providing during the 20th
annual IT Procurement Summit.
How to Calm Your Brain During Any Storm
There is a major storm in our economy currently. Understandably, this situation adds stress to negotiations. When you're overly stressed the chemistry in your brain changes. Your problem solving abilities are reduced and your judgment is greatly diminished. In fact, it is a very similar state as being drunk! This is no state to be in when making important decisions during negotiations.
Here are some simple steps to take to begin to relax and reduce the effects of stress on your brain:
Hello CAUCUS members. Today we are pleased to announce that we have more "news you can use" - significant new benefits for you!
As you know, several weeks ago we surveyed CAUCUS members about two ideas for new member benefits, the CAUCUS Roundtable program and the CAUCUS Advisory Program. As we reported in the Discussion Forum, the responses we received were very encouraging.
We are pleased to inform you that the CAUCUS Advisory Program was launched in mid-February. This program lets CAUCUS members discuss technology procurement issues on a confidential, one-on-one basis with an ICN/Caucus Senior Advisor subject matter expert. All you have to do is select Caucus Advisory Program from the Member Resources Menu at CAUCUSnet.com to arrange your appointment, free of charge and without obligation. For more information about the program, please visit the website or email
Many of you are already participating in and benefiting from the CAUCUS Request a Conference Call program, kicked off in late January. We are pleased to announce that we have incorporated Request a Conference Call into our Caucus Roundtable program. Now, you can schedule conference calls with other members to discuss issues of importance to you whenever you need help. CAUCUS will facilitate the scheduling, provide the bridge line, record the call, and post the recording to the Caucus Education Center for everyone's benefit. [Note: Based on member feedback, effective 3/28/2011 we discontinued the practice of recording these conference calls.]
To schedule a call or sign up to participate, simply go to the Request a Roundtable Conference Call link on the CAUCUS website and follow the instructions. For more information, please email
The other part of the Caucus Roundtable program is the Caucus Roundtable Briefing, a monthly webinar presentation with a subject matter expert, followed by a peer driven panel discussion of a wide range of issues in which you can participate. ICN Senior Advisors and senior CAUCUS members serve as the panelists and facilitate the discussion.
Our inaugural Caucus Roundtable Briefing is scheduled for Noon (Eastern) on April 27, 2011 and will be centered on the topics and issues that you and your fellow members want to learn more about. The facilitated CAUCUS Roundtable Briefing sessions enable us to share the best, most up-to-date, most critical information and allow you to employ better techniques in your IT acquisitions.
On the Caucus Roundtable Briefing pages of the CAUCUS website, you'll be able to find each month's briefing topic and panel discussion subjects, suggest topics, volunteer as a panelist, and register to attend each event. Simply click on the Caucus Roundtable link from our home page. For more information, please email
Sharing experiences and powerful tools – that's what Caucus is all about!

Gnumeric 0.46 released
From the Gnome Announce list, Miguel de Icaza released a new version Gnumeric today. New features include greatly improved Excel Export, Y2K refinements, and much more.
Hello guys,

* Availability:
* New in this release:

- Some final Y2K polishing has also been done. Guessing dates correctly when you enter them (Peter Moulder)
- Lots of core adjustments and stability improvements.
* The beginning of a command interface for implementing error reporting and setting up the Undo architecture (Jody).
* Make the interface more consistent in a few places (JP)
* Cell sort user interface improved (JP)
* Handles failed file/open and file/import better (Jody)

* Few skeleton functions added
* Robustify range checking in a few functions (Morten)
* Improved statistical functions, regression code works with multi-dimensional data (check ChangeLog for details) (Andrew)

My younger daughter has decided the rules of grammar don't apply to her. Capitalization and punctuation are unnecessary conventions as far as she is concerned. "But why do I have to capitalize and use periods?" is often her cry. She has had to redo numerous papers because of this refusal to follow the rules of grammar.
It's not that she can't capitalize and punctuate. It's not that she doesn't know the rules for capitalizing and punctuating. It's that she doesn't want to follow them. She chooses not to make the effort.
And it frustrates me to no end. Watching her lose points on papers that I know she should get is irritating to this grammar-loving mother. It's people like my daughter that make sure I have a job as an editor.
It's not just the grammar. It's the underlying issue of choosing not to do what she's perfectly capable of doing that really causes frustration for me. I'm a mom. I want my kids to live up to their potential. I want them to choose to do the right thing, whether it's putting a period at the end of a sentence, biting their tongues instead of hurting someone with their words, or standing up for what's right even when it's difficult.
James 4:17 says "If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them." Now, not capitalizing and punctuating a sentence isn't a sin (although this editor mother sometimes thinks it should be). In our house, it's simply an example of a larger problem -- one of choosing not to do the things you know you should. We have this issue in other areas, like controlling our tongues and being respectful to others.
So, what do you do when you have a child who deliberately chooses to do the wrong thing? One who knows the right thing to do but won't do it? Unfortunately, there are no easy answers. I wish I could tell you we've conquered this problem and there are three simple rules to follow, but I can't. What I can tell you is that we can't fix it on our own. It's a heart problem, and God is the only one in the business of changing hearts. So, if you have a child who can make good choices but won't, there are a few things you can do to let God work.
Pray. There is nothing more powerful in changing our children's attitudes and behaviors than prayer. James 5:16 says "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." Ask God to change your child's heart so that it seeks after God's ways.
Be consistent. If there's a behavior you want to change in your child, be consistent in requiring it. Every time my daughter brings home papers on which she loses points for capitalization and punctuation, she has to redo them -- whether her teacher requires it or not. By being consistent, we're letting our daughter know that there are consequences for making the wrong choices.
Let natural consequences happen. Don't remove the natural consequences of your child's choices. Let your child get in trouble, get a bad grade or have to apologize to a friend. Natural consequences are a great teacher. When we shield our kids from those consequences, we take away the immediate pain but we also take away the lesson they can learn.
Pray some more. God is in the heart change business. Actions and words come from the heart. If our kids are choosing to make poor decisions, then it's a heart issue. And we have to leave the heart changing up to God.
Having a child who chooses to consistently do the wrong thing is frustrating and saddening. It's the hard part of being a parent, but remember all kids struggle in some area. All adults struggle to make the right choices, too. With lots of prayer and consistency, we can let God do the heart work of changing our child's behavior and attitude.

Dubai: Wrist spinner Yasir Shah has become the number-one ranked bowler in the world after he bowled Pakistan to 75 runs victory over England in the first Test at Lord's on Sunday.
Yasir is the first Pakistan bowler to top rankings since Mushtaq Ahmed achieved the distinction in December 1996, while Shane Warne was the last wrist spinner to surge to the number-one position in December 2005.
Yasir, who returned figures of six for 72 and four for 69, has leapfrogged India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and England's fast bowling pair of James Anderson (who missed the Test due to an injury) and Stuart Broad into the top spot after his achievement earned him 32 points.
Yasir won the player of the match award in his first Test outside Asia and now leads Ashwin by seven points and Anderson by 10 points.
England's Chris Woakes has also made an impressive gain in the latest MRF Tyres ICC Player Rankings for Test Bowlers. Woakes recorded match figures of 11 for 102 for which he has earned a jump of 28 places that has put him in a career-high 36th position.
Another Pakistan's bowler Rahat Ali, who took four wickets in the match, has also achieved a career-high ranking of 32nd after jumping three places, while Mohammad Amir has returned to the rankings just inside the top 100 in 93rd position.
There was more good news for Pakistan when its middle-order batsman Asad Shafiq also achieved a career-high ranking in the MRF Tyres ICC Player Rankings for Test Batsmen.
Pakistan captain Mishab-ul-Haq, who scored his 10th Test century while scoring 114 in the first innings, has moved up one place to ninth, while wicketkeeper/batsman Sarfraz Ahmed has gained two places and is now in 17th position.
For England, Jonny Bairstow and Gary Ballance have improved their rankings. Bairstow is now on a career-high 16thposition after moving up two places, while Ballance is in 40th position having risen two places.
The second Test begins at Old Trafford on Friday, 22 July.

The North American cougar is, by the designs of some of the other cats of the world, rather bland looking.. but what they lack in "beauty" they make up for with their wonderful faces! They can have blue eyes, yellow, sienna and almost hazel… excellent hunters and very adaptable, the cats survive where others would not. They are very quick which is not saying much because most members of the cat family are very swift.
The most surprising thing I've learned is how small they really are. They usually weigh in the vicinity of 120 pounds but can jump over 30 feet.. pretty cool huh..

By Jason Graziadei
I&M Staff Writer
A plan to site a wind farm south of Tuckernuck Island continues to intrigue town leaders, who held a private meeting last week with Congressmen Bill Delahunt's chief of staff and wind energy experts to discuss the idea.
Members of the Board of Selectmen and the Planning Department envision a public-private partnership that would develop as many as 20 wind turbines off Tuckernuck with an undersea cable running to Nantucket that could produce enough power to supply the island's energy needs and allow the town to export electricity to the mainland.
During a closed-door session at the Nantucket Yacht Club last Friday, Selectmen Whitey Willauer and Brian Chadwick, along with planning director Andrew Vorce, discussed the idea with Mark Forest, Delahunt's chief of staff, as well as professor James Manwell of the UMass Renewable Energy Research Laboratory, and Rich Delaney from the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies. Members of the Nantucket Energy Study Committee also attended the meeting, along with the town's wind energy consultant, Jim Coyne, of Concentric Energy Advisors.
A reporter seeking to cover the meeting was told it was a private session and was asked to leave.
Completely separate from the 130-turbine wind farm proposed by Cape Wind Associates in Nantucket Sound, the Tuckernuck plan would encompass an area that includes both state and federal waters which the town hopes to study, and eventually encourage a private company to develop with wind turbines in a partnership that could reduce island utility bills.
The concept has already been endorsed by the Nantucket Planning & Economic Development Commission, which recently drafted a letter to the Minerals Management Service (MMS), the agency responsible for permitting offshore wind energy projects in federal waters, regarding such a project.
The area was previously identified as an alternative site by Cape Wind Associates for its 130-turbine project, but was deemed to be unfeasible due to the high wave heights in the area and the expense of running a cable from the site to the mainland.
Although the town�s plan is in its infancy, Vorce said last week's meeting was intended to share information and introduce the idea to several wind energy experts to determine the feasibility of the concept.
"Right now, the challenge is to get some resources to move this forward and that�s what we�re trying to do," Vorce said. "What we would like to see is a clearly-defined benefit which might be reduced electricity rates for island residents."
In a subsequent phone interview, Manwell said he was unaware that Nantucket officials were so seriously considering a wind farm south of Tuckernuck. He added that the island should look at the example of Hull, Mass., which has erected two land-based wind turbines and was recently honored by the federal Department of Energy with a �Wind Power Pioneer Award.� In 2001, the town installed a 660-kilowatt turbine on its harborfront property, and in 2006 another turbine was built on a closed landfill. Together, the turbines supply over 10 percent of the town�s energy needs and power its street and traffic lights. Hull also has plans to develop four off-shore wind turbines to supply its energy needs.
Asked if the Tuckernuck wind farm was feasible, Manwell said, �It's completely feasible. But the economics are always a very different issue, and there was some discussion of how to make it economically feasible. You don't have a municipal utility and that's the secret of Hull. Could Nantucket? Should it? That has only just begun to be thought about.�
Both Vorce and Manwell said the town should continue to study the area south of Tuckernuck and, if the site is deemed suitable for wind turbines, proceed to �zone� the site and do preliminary permitting work to entice a potential wind energy developer.
"The idea would be to establish some zone, a renewable energy zone, that would include some amount of state and federal waters, and assuming it was suitable, find a way to pre-permit the area - that's the wrong word - but at least get it preselected so if someone proposed a project there, it would be easier to do it," Manwell said.
Vorce added that the next step is for the town to determine exactly what kind of project it wants, and then fund a study of the proposed site.
"We are going to work with our consultant Jim Coyne to finalize a draft scope of what the study would be, to come up with a more precise definition," Vorce said. "Permitting is such a big part of this, and have public support and the support of town is a big deal."
Forrest, Delahunt's chief of staff, said his office's role is to facilitate communication and information-sharing among Nantucket and university research groups around the region.
He specifically mentioned that UMass Dartmouth, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and UMass Amherst researchers are interested in the Tuckernuck wind farm proposal.
"All of these campuses have a certain amount of expertise and we want to determine to what degree they can lend their expertise to a project like this," Forrest said. "The idea is to really study this area and find out what can and cannot be done. The best way to think about it is your own harbor management plan, and think of extending that to a different body of water off your coast. It's like land-based zoning. You figure out where and how to site commercial developments."
A House of Representatives bill co-sponsored by Delahunt known as the Marine and Hydrokinetic Renewable Energy Promotion Act would provide loans for the development of new technologies and extend renewable energy tax credits to certain utilities, according to a press release from Delahunt�s office.
Vorce said Delahunt is currently working to secure an earmark in a federal spending bill that would appropriate funds for a study of the site south of Tuckernuck.
In a May 21 letter to the MMS that dealt primarily with the agency�s ongoing development of regulations for offshore wind energy development, the NP&EDC chairman Barry Rector also wrote about Nantucket�s interest in a wind farm south of Tuckernuck.
�We would like to make the MMS aware that Nantucket, working in cooperation with Martha�s Vineyard, will be proactively examining a site Southwest of Tuckernuck Island as a potential site for offshore wind development,� Rector wrote. �The purpose of this investigation is to establish the commercial and environmental viability of this site, which I feel should be supported by the local community because it is not in close proximity to sensitive tourism and recreational resources and noise impacts to residents would be minimal.�
The Board of Selectmen in Edgartown on Martha�s Vineyard has also endorsed the concept of an offshore energy zone south of Tuckernuck, and recently stated that it is interested in expanding the energy zone so that it extends to waters off the south shore of Edgartown, according to the Martha�s Vineyard Times.
In his own letter to the MMS, also drafted on May 21, Delahunt wrote about the prospect of an offshore wind energy development off Tuckernuck.
�The Nantucket Planning and Economic Development Commission has already informed the MMS that the thirty square miles of federal waters south of Tuckernuck Island have potential for offshore renewable energy development,� Delahunt wrote. �This area is one of the most productive areas in New England for offshore wind energy. Nantucket officials are interested in developing an economically viable plan and intent to draw on the model used by Hull (MA). Given the strong support of the Commission and the Nantucket Selectmen, I am now working with them to secure federal and state funding to undertake such a project. In addition, the Town of Edgartown Board of Selectmen unanimously endorsed the Nantucket proposal and is interested in seeing the planning area broadened to an area that is up to fifty square miles so that it approaches the waters of Martha�s Vineyard and offers the opportunity to develop offshore wave and tidal energy.�

Definitions for Luke 3 :23
Clarke's Commentary on Luke 3 :23
Thirty years of age - This was the age required by the law, to which the priests must arrive before they could be installed in their office: see Numbers 4:3.
Being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph - This same phrase is used by Herodotus to signify one who was only reputed to be the son of a particular person: τουτου παις νομιζεται he was Supposed to be this man's son. Much learned labor has been used to reconcile this genealogy with that in St. Matthew, Matthew 1:1-17, and there are several ways of doing it; the following, which appears to me to be the best, is also the most simple and easy. For a more elaborate discussion of the subject, the reader is referred to the additional observations at the end of the chapter. Matthew, in descending from Abraham to Joseph, the spouse of the blessed virgin, speaks of Sons properly such, by way of natural generation: Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, etc. But Luke, in ascending from the Savior of the world to God himself, speaks of sons either properly or improperly such: on this account he uses an indeterminate mode of expression, which may be applied to sons either putatively or really such. And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being, as was Supposed the son of Joseph - of Heli - of Matthat, etc. This receives considerable support from Raphelius's method of reading the original ων (ὡς ενομιζετο υἱος Ιωσηφ) του Ἡλι, being (when reputed the son of Joseph) the son of Heli, etc. That St. Luke does not always speak of sons properly such, is evident from the first and last person which he names: Jesus Christ was only the supposed son of Joseph, because Joseph was the husband of his mother Mary: and Adam, who is said to be the son of God, was such only by creation. After this observation it is next necessary to consider, that, in the genealogy described by St. Luke, there are two sons improperly such: i.e. two sons-in-law, instead of two sons. As the Hebrews never permitted women to enter into their genealogical tables, whenever a family happened to end with a daughter, instead of naming her in the genealogy, they inserted her husband, as the son of him who was, in reality, but his father-in-law. This import, bishop Pearce has fully shown, νομιζεσθαι bears, in a variety of places - Jesus was considered according to law, or allowed custom, to be the son of Joseph, as he was of Heli. The two sons-in-law who are to be noticed in this genealogy are Joseph the son-in-law of Heli, whose own father was Jacob, Matthew 1:16; and Salathiel, the son-in-law of Neri, whose own father was Jechonias: 1 Chronicles 3:17, and Matthew 1:12. This remark alone is sufficient to remove every difficulty. Thus it appears that Joseph, son of Jacob, according to St. Matthew, was son-in-law of Heli, according to St. Luke. And Salathiel, son of Jechonias, according to the former, was son-in-law of Neri, according to the latter. Mary therefore appears to have been the daughter of Heli; so called by abbreviation for Heliachim, which is the same in Hebrew with Joachim. Joseph, son of Jacob, and Mary; daughter of Heli, were of the same family: both came from Zerubbabel; Joseph from Abiud, his eldest son, Matthew 1:13, and Mary by Rhesa, the youngest. See Luke 3:27. Salathiel and Zorobabel, from whom St. Matthew and St. Luke cause Christ to proceed, were themselves descended from Solomon in a direct line: and though St. Luke says that Salathiel was son of Neri, who was descended from Nathan, Solomon's eldest brother, 1 Chronicles 3:5, this is only to be understood of his having espoused Nathan's daughter, and that Neri dying, probably, without male issues the two branches of the family of David, that of Nathan and that of Solomon, were both united in the person of Zerubbabel, by the marriage of Salathiel, chief of the regal family of Solomon, with the daughter of Neri, chief and heretrix of the family of Nathan. Thus it appears that Jesus, son of Mary, reunited in himself all the blood, privileges, and rights of the whole family of David; in consequence of which he is emphatically called, The son of David. It is worthy of being remarked that St. Matthew, who wrote principally for the Jews, extends his genealogy to Abraham through whom the promise of the Messiah was given to the Jews; but St. Luke, who wrote his history for the instruction of the Gentiles, extends his genealogy to Adam, to whom the promise of the Redeemer was given in behalf of himself and of all his posterity. See the notes on Matthew 1:1, etc.
Barnes's Commentary on Luke 3 :23
Jesus began to be ... - This was the age at which the priests entered on their office, Numbers 4:3, Numbers 4:47; but it is not evident that Jesus had any reference to that in delaying his work to his thirtieth year. He was not subjected to the Levitical law in regard to the priesthood, and it does not appear that prophets and teachers did not commence their work before that age.
As was supposed - As was commonly thought, or perhaps being legally reckoned as his son.
Wesley's Commentary on Luke 3 :23

text: The Lleida region of Catalunya is recognised within Spain as one of the best climbing areas in the country. British climbers have visited in small numbers for many years but the lack of an English language guide and confusion about seasons, weather and where to stay have kept the hoards at bay; many preferring the predictability of multiple trips to the likes Calpe and the Costas. This guide will make a difference, but possibly not for the unadventurous. There definitely ain't any fish \u0026amp; chips, full english or Watneys Red Barrel in this essentially rural region of northern Spain. Don't rely on anyone outside the airport speaking english. Catalan is the principal language but most people speak castilian spanish as well. In my opinion these factors are what make a great climbing trip. I don't want it all on a plate and DO want to explore, experiment and get lost in rural villages trying to buy a loaf of bread. 'Lleida Climbs' will make it a lot easier to visit the region but it still leaves plenty of areas untouched and huge scope for further exploration. For example, a good selection of routes are covered in Vilanova de Meià and Cavallers, enough for days and days of climbing, but as you explore you will notice huge areas of undocumented rock. You are invited to buy the dedictaed guide to know more and in doing so you will support the opening and equipping of routes by multiple channels and help to break down the long entrenched stereotype of visiting foreign climbers, taking all and contributing nothing. 'Lleida Climbs' is materially supporting local activists in the equipping of new routes and re-equipping of existing routes. I was lucky enough to have Pete O'Donovan drag me around many of the areas in the guide back in the early 90s. I say 'dragged' because I was often struggling to second some desperate multi pitch face route, taking big whippers or getting chased by killer mules (the latter being a story for another day). These were memorable trips. Fast forward 18 years to October 2010 and I was set to make a return visit with Cynthia Grindley and Colin Moody. Pete generously supplied us with some prepublication chapters of the guide and with perfect timing the weather cleared up and cooled down to give us a week excellent of climbing.\nThe Guide\nThere's no doubt that the design and layout are extremely good. I'm sure many will make direct comparisons with the Rockfax guides but there are some fundamental differences in style and presentation. To appreciate these differences you have to understand that this book is aimed as much at a Spanish audience as it is a British one. Both Pete and Dani live full time in Catalunya and are intimately involved with the local climbing community. Don't expect the full, hand holding, every possible detail, backed up with online databases approach to route information. Climbs are listed as a single line with name, grade and a tick box, as you would expect in most Spanish guides. None of the pumpy, technical or star rating icons that we have all grown accustomed to. I'm sure some people won't like this minimalist approach to route information but I find it refreshing. Too much information can stifle experimentation and unreasonably concentrate traffic onto routes with the most star ratings. Remember, we are talking sport routes after all, so its not difficult to make an assessment of the quality and style of climbing from the ground and, if things don't go to plan its easy enough to retreat. Personally I prefer this clean and simple format. Where the guide really does excel over similar productions is in the quality and composition of photography. The crag shots are truly inspiring as are the action shots. Pete has clearly gone to a lot of effort to set up really good action shots on multi pitch routes where the logistics of getting into position must have been complex.\n\nThe Climbing\nThe limestone crags range from relatively low level cliffs suitable for bleak mid winter days to inspiring escarpments in the foot hills of the Pyrenees. There is one granite area; Cavallers where it is not possible to climb in the middle of winter. Here is a summary of climbing at the areas we visited: Coll de Nargó A mixture of multi pitch and single pitch routes situated high on a ridge above the village. A beautiful setting in sub alpine terrain. Perles Our favorite crag. Like Coll de Nargó but with better quality rock and routes. A must for any trip. Esciatamàsters 9a, Pont de L'Arc, Perles. Chris Savage Climbing. Vilanova de Meià The highlight is the impressive Roca dels Arcs which has a wide selection of well equipped multi pitch routes. There are short routes close to the road but not of the same quality of some of the other areas in the guide. If you want more there's lots of climbing on the cliffs at the entrance to the valley, just above the village; Documented in the dedicated climbing guide to the area. Cavallers Superb granite climbing on slabs, steep faces and cracks. Many routes are fully equipped but you will be missing out if you ignore routes that require a small rack. Again there is lots more climbing documented in the dedicated guide to the area as well as some impressive looking multipitch routes on the limestone south of El Pont de Suert. Cubells A good crag for a first day. Not too intimidating with a good selection of routes from 5 upwards. Serak Esquerdat 5c and Arc de Sant Martl 6a are nice routes to get going on. It should be said that one or two of the other routes seem a little under graded. Camarasa Lots of easily accessible short routes. The most aesthetic sector is Crestes de Conill. The road side sector at Marcant Estil is a bit scruffy but ok if you need to pad the day out with a couple of extra routes and don't feel like walking further than the boot of the car. St. Llorenç de Montgai Not much easy stuff here. Paret de L'Os has just one 6a on it and grades are fairly meaty on all the routes at this sector. There is a good looking multipitch route, Esperó Remacha at only V+ and more adventurous routes on the conglomerate walls of El Cilindre. If you're looking for hard test pieces from 7b upwards the impressive cave of Disblia should be on your hit list. Salvatge Oest de Catalunya also covers several important areas around St. Llorenç de Montgai Terradets Lots of multipitch routes, some at relatively reasonable grades. This is an impressive gorge and the overall ambience may play a part in your motivation to get out of the car if you're not used to big imposing walls. There are lots hard single pitch routes in the 7th and 8th grade on beautiful walls. There is a dedicated guide available to Terradets.\n\nLogistics\nThe climbing areas are widely spaced so there isn't any obvious point at which to base yourself. You could easily spend weeks climbing at one of the principal areas such as Terradets, Cavallers or Vilanova de Meià. Like us, I'm guessing most people will want to visit several areas over the course of a trip, varying the location depending on weather and energy. There is a good campsite just down the road from St. Llorenç de Montgai at Camping La Noguera. For 2 people and a car it was just over €20\/ night. There are good facilities here including hot showers and a bar. The restaurant is a bit pricey but there is an excellent and very reasonable restaurant\/bar a short walk up the road in the village of St. Llorenç. If you prefer a little more comfort I can highly recommend the Hostal Roma at Cubells. This is a fairly basic hotel situated over a busy commercial restaurant\/bar; a kind of a Spanish transport cafe, but don't let that put you off. The food is excellent and at €12 for a three course meal, very reasonable. You'll see lots of every day Spanish life and will have plenty of opportunity to brush up on some language basics. A room with three single beds cost €50\/night for a seven night stay.\nHostal Roma, Cubells\nBoth Camping La Noguera and Hostal Roma are located within an hour and half of most of the climbing areas with some cliffs such as Cubells and St. Llorenç de Montgai being right on the door step. Hostal Roma is better situated for accessing the excellent climbing up the road towards Coll de Nargó which is about 45 minutes drive. Hostal Roma - A great place to stay! There is Carrefour supermarket a few KM down the road from Cubells in Balaguer; slightly difficult to find, its located on an industrial estate on the road into town from the main C26. (see map below). View Balaguer Area in a larger map There is a climbing shop in Balaguer: Radical Sport Carrer Barcelona, 40 -42 BALAGUER 25600 BALAGUER Lérida Tel: 973 44 89 60.\nFlights\nThe most obvious place to fly to would be Reus. Ryanair and some of the other budget airlines fly there from all over the UK. Driving time from Reus to Cubells is about 1 hour 30 minutes via Tàrrega. Barcelona airport would probably take an extra 30 mins of driving.\nPurchase the Lleida Climbs guide\n
