Genesis 39-41 New Living Translation (NLT)
Joseph in Potiphar's House
39 When Joseph was taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelite traders, he was purchased by Potiphar, an Egyptian officer. Potiphar was captain of the guard for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.
2 The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master. 3 Potiphar noticed this and realized that the Lord was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did. 4 This pleased Potiphar, so he soon made Joseph his personal attendant. He put him in charge of his entire household and everything he owned. 5 From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master's household and property, the Lord began to bless Potiphar's household for Joseph's sake. All his household affairs ran smoothly, and his crops and livestock flourished. 6 So Potiphar gave Joseph complete administrative responsibility over everything he owned. With Joseph there, he didn't worry about a thing—except what kind of food to eat!
Joseph was a very handsome and well-built young man, 7 and Potiphar's wife soon began to look at him lustfully. "Come and sleep with me," she demanded.
8 But Joseph refused. "Look," he told her, "my master trusts me with everything in his entire household. 9 No one here has more authority than I do. He has held back nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God."
10 She kept putting pressure on Joseph day after day, but he refused to sleep with her, and he kept out of her way as much as possible. 11 One day, however, no one else was around when he went in to do his work. 12 She came and grabbed him by his cloak, demanding, "Come on, sleep with me!" Joseph tore himself away, but he left his cloak in her hand as he ran from the house.
13 When she saw that she was holding his cloak and he had fled, 14 she called out to her servants. Soon all the men came running. "Look!" she said. "My husband has brought this Hebrew slave here to make fools of us! He came into my room to rape me, but I screamed. 15 When he heard me scream, he ran outside and got away, but he left his cloak behind with me."
16 She kept the cloak with her until her husband came home. 17 Then she told him her story. "That Hebrew slave you've brought into our house tried to come in and fool around with me," she said. 18 "But when I screamed, he ran outside, leaving his cloak with me!"
Joseph Put in Prison
19 Potiphar was furious when he heard his wife's story about how Joseph had treated her. 20 So he took Joseph and threw him into the prison where the king's prisoners were held, and there he remained. 21 But the Lord was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. And the Lord made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden. 22 Before long, the warden put Joseph in charge of all the other prisoners and over everything that happened in the prison. 23 The warden had no more worries, because Joseph took care of everything. The Lord was with him and caused everything he did to succeed.
Joseph Interprets Two Dreams
40 Some time later, Pharaoh's chief cup-bearer and chief baker offended their royal master. 2 Pharaoh became angry with these two officials, 3 and he put them in the prison where Joseph was, in the palace of the captain of the guard. 4 They remained in prison for quite some time, and the captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, who looked after them.
5 While they were in prison, Pharaoh's cup-bearer and baker each had a dream one night, and each dream had its own meaning. 6 When Joseph saw them the next morning, he noticed that they both looked upset. 7 "Why do you look so worried today?" he asked them.
8 And they replied, "We both had dreams last night, but no one can tell us what they mean."
"Interpreting dreams is God's business," Joseph replied. "Go ahead and tell me your dreams."
9 So the chief cup-bearer told Joseph his dream first. "In my dream," he said, "I saw a grapevine in front of me. 10 The vine had three branches that began to bud and blossom, and soon it produced clusters of ripe grapes. 11 I was holding Pharaoh's wine cup in my hand, so I took a cluster of grapes and squeezed the juice into the cup. Then I placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand."
12 "This is what the dream means," Joseph said. "The three branches represent three days. 13 Within three days Pharaoh will lift you up and restore you to your position as his chief cup-bearer. 14 And please remember me and do me a favor when things go well for you. Mention me to Pharaoh, so he might let me out of this place. 15 For I was kidnapped from my homeland, the land of the Hebrews, and now I'm here in prison, but I did nothing to deserve it."
16 When the chief baker saw that Joseph had given the first dream such a positive interpretation, he said to Joseph, "I had a dream, too. In my dream there were three baskets of white pastries stacked on my head. 17 The top basket contained all kinds of pastries for Pharaoh, but the birds came and ate them from the basket on my head."
18 "This is what the dream means," Joseph told him. "The three baskets also represent three days. 19 Three days from now Pharaoh will lift you up and impale your body on a pole. Then birds will come and peck away at your flesh."
20 Pharaoh's birthday came three days later, and he prepared a banquet for all his officials and staff. He summoned[a] his chief cup-bearer and chief baker to join the other officials. 21 He then restored the chief cup-bearer to his former position, so he could again hand Pharaoh his cup. 22 But Pharaoh impaled the chief baker, just as Joseph had predicted when he interpreted his dream. 23 Pharaoh's chief cup-bearer, however, forgot all about Joseph, never giving him another thought.
Pharaoh's Dreams
41 Two full years later, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing on the bank of the Nile River. 2 In his dream he saw seven fat, healthy cows come up out of the river and begin grazing in the marsh grass. 3 Then he saw seven more cows come up behind them from the Nile, but these were scrawny and thin. These cows stood beside the fat cows on the riverbank. 4 Then the scrawny, thin cows ate the seven healthy, fat cows! At this point in the dream, Pharaoh woke up.
5 But he fell asleep again and had a second dream. This time he saw seven heads of grain, plump and beautiful, growing on a single stalk. 6 Then seven more heads of grain appeared, but these were shriveled and withered by the east wind. 7 And these thin heads swallowed up the seven plump, well-formed heads! Then Pharaoh woke up again and realized it was a dream.
8 The next morning Pharaoh was very disturbed by the dreams. So he called for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. When Pharaoh told them his dreams, not one of them could tell him what they meant.
9 Finally, the king's chief cup-bearer spoke up. "Today I have been reminded of my failure," he told Pharaoh. 10 "Some time ago, you were angry with the chief baker and me, and you imprisoned us in the palace of the captain of the guard. 11 One night the chief baker and I each had a dream, and each dream had its own meaning. 12 There was a young Hebrew man with us in the prison who was a slave of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams, and he told us what each of our dreams meant. 13 And everything happened just as he had predicted. I was restored to my position as cup-bearer, and the chief baker was executed and impaled on a pole."
14 Pharaoh sent for Joseph at once, and he was quickly brought from the prison. After he shaved and changed his clothes, he went in and stood before Pharaoh. 15 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream last night, and no one here can tell me what it means. But I have heard that when you hear about a dream you can interpret it."
16 "It is beyond my power to do this," Joseph replied. "But God can tell you what it means and set you at ease."
17 So Pharaoh told Joseph his dream. "In my dream," he said, "I was standing on the bank of the Nile River, 18 and I saw seven fat, healthy cows come up out of the river and begin grazing in the marsh grass. 19 But then I saw seven sick-looking cows, scrawny and thin, come up after them. I've never seen such sorry-looking animals in all the land of Egypt. 20 These thin, scrawny cows ate the seven fat cows. 21 But afterward you wouldn't have known it, for they were still as thin and scrawny as before! Then I woke up.
22 "In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, full and beautiful, growing on a single stalk. 23 Then seven more heads of grain appeared, but these were blighted, shriveled, and withered by the east wind. 24 And the shriveled heads swallowed the seven healthy heads. I told these dreams to the magicians, but no one could tell me what they mean."
25 Joseph responded, "Both of Pharaoh's dreams mean the same thing. God is telling Pharaoh in advance what he is about to do. 26 The seven healthy cows and the seven healthy heads of grain both represent seven years of prosperity. 27 The seven thin, scrawny cows that came up later and the seven thin heads of grain, withered by the east wind, represent seven years of famine.
28 "This will happen just as I have described it, for God has revealed to Pharaoh in advance what he is about to do. 29 The next seven years will be a period of great prosperity throughout the land of Egypt. 30 But afterward there will be seven years of famine so great that all the prosperity will be forgotten in Egypt. Famine will destroy the land. 31 This famine will be so severe that even the memory of the good years will be erased. 32 As for having two similar dreams, it means that these events have been decreed by God, and he will soon make them happen.
33 "Therefore, Pharaoh should find an intelligent and wise man and put him in charge of the entire land of Egypt. 34 Then Pharaoh should appoint supervisors over the land and let them collect one-fifth of all the crops during the seven good years. 35 Have them gather all the food produced in the good years that are just ahead and bring it to Pharaoh's storehouses. Store it away, and guard it so there will be food in the cities. 36 That way there will be enough to eat when the seven years of famine come to the land of Egypt. Otherwise this famine will destroy the land."
Joseph Made Ruler of Egypt
37 Joseph's suggestions were well received by Pharaoh and his officials. 38 So Pharaoh asked his officials, "Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the spirit of God?" 39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are. 40 You will be in charge of my court, and all my people will take orders from you. Only I, sitting on my throne, will have a rank higher than yours."
41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I hereby put you in charge of the entire land of Egypt." 42 Then Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his hand and placed it on Joseph's finger. He dressed him in fine linen clothing and hung a gold chain around his neck. 43 Then he had Joseph ride in the chariot reserved for his second-in-command. And wherever Joseph went, the command was shouted, "Kneel down!" So Pharaoh put Joseph in charge of all Egypt. 44 And Pharaoh said to him, "I am Pharaoh, but no one will lift a hand or foot in the entire land of Egypt without your approval."
45 Then Pharaoh gave Joseph a new Egyptian name, Zaphenath-paneah.[b] He also gave him a wife, whose name was Asenath. She was the daughter of Potiphera, the priest of On.[c] So Joseph took charge of the entire land of Egypt. 46 He was thirty years old when he began serving in the court of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And when Joseph left Pharaoh's presence, he inspected the entire land of Egypt.
47 As predicted, for seven years the land produced bumper crops. 48 During those years, Joseph gathered all the crops grown in Egypt and stored the grain from the surrounding fields in the cities. 49 He piled up huge amounts of grain like sand on the seashore. Finally, he stopped keeping records because there was too much to measure.
50 During this time, before the first of the famine years, two sons were born to Joseph and his wife, Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, the priest of On. 51 Joseph named his older son Manasseh,[d] for he said, "God has made me forget all my troubles and everyone in my father's family." 52 Joseph named his second son Ephraim,[e] for he said, "God has made me fruitful in this land of my grief."
53 At last the seven years of bumper crops throughout the land of Egypt came to an end. 54 Then the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had predicted. The famine also struck all the surrounding countries, but throughout Egypt there was plenty of food. 55 Eventually, however, the famine spread throughout the land of Egypt as well. And when the people cried out to Pharaoh for food, he told them, "Go to Joseph, and do whatever he tells you." 56 So with severe famine everywhere, Joseph opened up the storehouses and distributed grain to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe throughout the land of Egypt. 57 And people from all around came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph because the famine was severe throughout the world.

Genesis 39-41 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Joseph's Success in Egypt
39 Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him [a]from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there. 2 The Lord was with Joseph, so he became a [b]successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. 3 Now his master saw that the Lord was with him and how the Lord caused all that he did to prosper in his hand. 4 So Joseph found favor in his sight and [c]became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he owned he put in his [d]charge. 5 It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house on account of Joseph; thus the Lord's blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field. 6 So he left everything he owned in Joseph's [e]charge; and with him there he did not [f]concern himself with anything except the [g]food which he [h]ate.
Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. 7 It came about after these events that his master's wife [i]looked with desire at Joseph, and she said, "Lie with me." 8 But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Behold, with me here, my master [j]does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has put all that he owns in my [k]charge. 9 [l]There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?" 10 As she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her. 11 Now it happened [m]one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the household was there inside. 12 She caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me!" And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside. 13 [n]When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside, 14 she called to the men of her household and said to them, "See, he has brought in a [o]Hebrew to us to make sport of us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I [p]screamed. 15 When he heard that I raised my voice and [q]screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside." 16 So she [r]left his garment beside her until his master came home. 17 Then she spoke to him [s]with these words, "[t]The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make sport of me; 18 and as I raised my voice and [u]screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside."
Joseph Imprisoned
19 Now when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, "[v]This is what your slave did to me," his anger burned. 20 So Joseph's master took him and put him into the jail, the place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the jail. 21 But the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer. 22 The chief jailer committed to Joseph's [w]charge all the prisoners who were in the jail; so that whatever was done there, he was [x]responsible for it. 23 The chief jailer did not supervise anything under [y]Joseph's charge because the Lord was with him; and whatever he did, the Lord made to prosper.
Joseph Interprets a Dream
40 Then it came about after these things, the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt. 2 Pharaoh was furious with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker. 3 So he put them in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, in the jail, the same place where Joseph was imprisoned. 4 The captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he [z]took care of them; and they were in confinement for [aa]some time. 5 Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation. 6 [ab]When Joseph came to them in the morning and observed them, [ac]behold, they were dejected. 7 He asked Pharaoh's officials who were with him in confinement in his master's house, "[ad]Why are your faces so sad today?" 8 Then they said to him, "We have [ae]had a dream and there is no one to interpret it." Then Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please."
9 So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, [af]behold, there was a vine in front of me; 10 and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes. 11 Now Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; so I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I put the cup into Pharaoh's [ag]hand." 12 Then Joseph said to him, "This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days; 13 within three more days Pharaoh will [ah]lift up your head and restore you to your [ai]office; and you will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer. 14 Only [aj]keep me in mind when it goes well with you, and please do me a kindness [ak]by mentioning me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house. 15 For I was in fact kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the [al]dungeon."
16 When the chief baker saw that he had interpreted favorably, he said to Joseph, "I also saw in my dream, and behold, there were three baskets of white bread on my head; 17 and in the top basket there were some of all [am]sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head." 18 Then Joseph answered and said, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days; 19 within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and will hang you on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh off you."
20 Thus it came about on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. 21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his [an]office, and he put the cup into Pharaoh's [ao]hand; 22 but he hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted to them. 23 Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Pharaoh's Dream
41 Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and behold, he was standing by the Nile. 2 And lo, from the Nile there came up seven cows, sleek and [ap]fat; and they grazed in the marsh grass. 3 Then behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and [aq]gaunt, and they stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile. 4 The ugly and [ar]gaunt cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke. 5 He fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain came up on a single stalk, plump and good. 6 Then behold, seven ears, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them. 7 The thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream. 8 Now in the morning his spirit was troubled, so he sent and called for all the [as]magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his [at]dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I would make mention today of my own [au]offenses. 10 Pharaoh was furious with his servants, and he put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, both me and the chief baker. 11 We had a dream [av]on the same night, [aw]he and I; each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream. 12 Now a Hebrew youth was with us there, a servant of the captain of the bodyguard, and we related them to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each one he interpreted according to his own dream. 13 And just as he interpreted for us, so it happened; he restored me in my [ax]office, but he hanged him."
Joseph Interprets
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came to Pharaoh. 15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have had a dream, but no one can interpret it; and I have heard [ay]it said about you, that [az]when you hear a dream you can interpret it." 16 Joseph then answered Pharaoh, saying, "[ba]It is not in me; God will [bb]give Pharaoh a favorable answer." 17 So Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, "In my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile; 18 and behold, seven cows, [bc]fat and sleek came up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the marsh grass. 19 Lo, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and [bd]gaunt, such as I had never seen for [be]ugliness in all the land of Egypt; 20 and the lean and [bf]ugly cows ate up the first seven fat cows. 21 Yet when they had [bg]devoured them, it could not be [bh]detected that they had [bi]devoured them, [bj]for they were just as ugly as [bk]before. Then I awoke. 22 I saw also in my dream, and behold, seven ears, full and good, came up on a single stalk; 23 and lo, seven ears, withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them; 24 and the thin ears swallowed the seven good ears. Then I told it to the [bl]magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."
25 Now Joseph said to Pharaoh, "Pharaoh's [bm]dreams are one and the same; God has told to Pharaoh what He is about to do. 26 The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years; the [bn]dreams are one and the same. 27 The seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven thin ears scorched by the east wind will be seven years of famine. 28 [bo]It is as I have spoken to Pharaoh: God has shown to Pharaoh what He is about to do. 29 Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming in all the land of Egypt; 30 and after them seven years of famine will [bp]come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will [bq]ravage the land. 31 So the abundance will be unknown in the land because of that subsequent famine; for it will be very severe. 32 Now as for the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice, it means that the matter is determined by God, and God will quickly bring it about. 33 Now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. 34 Let Pharaoh take action to appoint overseers [br]in charge of the land, and let him exact a fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance. 35 Then let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and store up the grain for food in the cities under Pharaoh's authority, and let them guard it. 36 Let the food become as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine."
37 Now the [bs]proposal seemed good [bt]to Pharaoh and [bu]to all his servants.
Joseph Is Made a Ruler of Egypt
38 Then Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find a man like this, in whom is a divine spirit?" 39 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has informed you of all this, there is no one so discerning and wise as you are. 40 You shall be over my house, and according to your [bv]command all my people shall [bw]do homage; only in the throne I will be greater than you." 41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt." 42 Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen and put the gold necklace around his neck. 43 He had him ride in [bx]his second chariot; and they proclaimed before him, "[by]Bow the knee!" And he set him over all the land of Egypt. 44 Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Though I am Pharaoh, yet without [bz]your permission no one shall raise his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt." 45 Then Pharaoh named Joseph [ca]Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of [cb]On, as his wife. And Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.
46 Now Joseph was thirty years old when he [cc]stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt. 47 During the seven years of plenty the land brought forth [cd]abundantly. 48 So he gathered all the food of these seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt and placed the food in the cities; he placed in every city the food from its own surrounding fields. 49 Thus Joseph stored up grain [ce]in great abundance like the sand of the sea, until he stopped [cf]measuring it, for it was [cg]beyond measure.
The Sons of Joseph
50 Now before the year of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of [ch]On, bore to him. 51 Joseph named the firstborn [ci]Manasseh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household." 52 He named the second [cj]Ephraim, "For," he said, "God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."
53 When the seven years of plenty which had been in the land of Egypt came to an end, 54 and the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said, then there was famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried out to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, you shall do." 56 When the famine was spread over all the face of the earth, then Joseph opened all [ck]the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians; and the famine was severe in the land of Egypt. 57 The people of all the earth came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the earth.

Luke 16 New Living Translation (NLT)
Parable of the Shrewd Manager
16 Jesus told this story to his disciples: "There was a certain rich man who had a manager handling his affairs. One day a report came that the manager was wasting his employer's money. 2 So the employer called him in and said, 'What's this I hear about you? Get your report in order, because you are going to be fired.'
3 "The manager thought to himself, 'Now what? My boss has fired me. I don't have the strength to dig ditches, and I'm too proud to beg. 4 Ah, I know how to ensure that I'll have plenty of friends who will give me a home when I am fired.'
5 "So he invited each person who owed money to his employer to come and discuss the situation. He asked the first one, 'How much do you owe him?' 6 The man replied, 'I owe him 800 gallons of olive oil.' So the manager told him, 'Take the bill and quickly change it to 400 gallons.[a]'
7 "'And how much do you owe my employer?' he asked the next man. 'I owe him 1,000 bushels of wheat,' was the reply. 'Here,' the manager said, 'take the bill and change it to 800 bushels.[b]'
8 "The rich man had to admire the dishonest rascal for being so shrewd. And it is true that the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with the world around them than are the children of the light. 9 Here's the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home.[c]
10 "If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities. 11 And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven? 12 And if you are not faithful with other people's things, why should you be trusted with things of your own?
13 "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money."
14 The Pharisees, who dearly loved their money, heard all this and scoffed at him. 15 Then he said to them, "You like to appear righteous in public, but God knows your hearts. What this world honors is detestable in the sight of God.
16 "Until John the Baptist, the law of Moses and the messages of the prophets were your guides. But now the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is eager to get in.[d] 17 But that doesn't mean that the law has lost its force. It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the smallest point of God's law to be overturned.
18 "For example, a man who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery. And anyone who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery."
Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus
19 Jesus said, "There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed in purple and fine linen and who lived each day in luxury. 20 At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores. 21 As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man's table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores.
22 "Finally, the poor man died and was carried by the angels to sit beside Abraham at the heavenly banquet.[e] The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and he went to the place of the dead.[f] There, in torment, he saw Abraham in the far distance with Lazarus at his side.
24 "The rich man shouted, 'Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.'
25 "But Abraham said to him, 'Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. No one can cross over to you from here, and no one can cross over to us from there.'
27 "Then the rich man said, 'Please, Father Abraham, at least send him to my father's home. 28 For I have five brothers, and I want him to warn them so they don't end up in this place of torment.'
29 "But Abraham said, 'Moses and the prophets have warned them. Your brothers can read what they wrote.'
30 "The rich man replied, 'No, Father Abraham! But if someone is sent to them from the dead, then they will repent of their sins and turn to God.'
31 "But Abraham said, 'If they won't listen to Moses and the prophets, they won't be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'"

Luke 16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The Unrighteous Steward
16 Now He was also saying to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was [a]reported to him as squandering his possessions. 2 And he called him and said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.' 3 The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my [b]master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4 I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.' 5 And he summoned each one of his [c]master's debtors, and he began saying to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' 6 And he said, 'A hundred [d]measures of oil.' And he said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' 7 Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' And he said, 'A hundred [e]measures of wheat.' He *said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.' 8 And his [f]master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own [g]kind than the sons of light. 9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the [h]wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.
10 "He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. 11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous [i]wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you? 12 And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? 13 No [j]servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and [k]wealth."
14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were scoffing at Him. 15 And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves [l]in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable [m]in the sight of God.
16 "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God [n]has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it. 17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one [o]stroke of a letter of the Law to fail.
18 "Everyone who [p]divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is [q]divorced from a husband commits adultery.
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 "Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day. 20 And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores, 21 and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man's table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores. 22 Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.' 25 But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. 26 And [r]besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.' 27 And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house— 28 for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' 29 But Abraham *said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.' 30 But he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!' 31 But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'"

Matters of Life and Death in Spain
Probate, Wills and Inheritance
One of the last things that anyone thinks about when they move or buy a property overseas is the fact that the laws of succession abroad can differ greatly to those we're familiar with back home.
Getting the correct legal advice about matters of life and death in Spain relating to probate, wills and inheritance can seem difficult, especially as not many firms communicate well in English.
It is important that you understand your position and that of your future heirs and beneficiaries if you want to save them time, stress, and money and if you want to organise your affairs properly.
Following the loss of a loved one, thinking about an inheritance process is not easy – having to deal with all the legal and administrative aspects can be quite daunting, and the whole process is quite alien at a time in life when someone is already having to adjust to a significant loss as well.
On top of all of this, to then be faced with the fact that it is all in an unfamiliar language and with everything differing a good deal from at home, it can be quite bewildering.
In Spain, following a bereavement, your heirs are going to need a legal representative. Someone who is knowledgeable both in Spanish law and succession procedures, who can explain exactly what is involved in the process and provide an accurate indication of the costs and timescale involved; and most importantly, with whom they can communicate easily.
I tell my clients that preparation is the key to a successful inheritance process in Spain.
Most people want to ensure that their families or loved ones are caused the minimum amount of stress possible when they die. Proper planning will reduce the family's exposure to costs and also reduce the risk of time delays, which lead to higher taxes.
Key points for you to consider if you have assets in Spain: –
- Make a will in Spain. It is essential to ensure that your assets are covered by an up to date will in Spain, (and usually a separate will is required for each country if you have assets in different jurisdictions).
- Keep your paperwork in order, such as information about bank accounts, investments and ownership of other assets. These should be readily accessible in the event of your death. Copies of all legal documentation should be kept together, (including wills, title deeds, etc.) with a note as to where the originals can be found. This is a key way to avoid delays in an inheritance process. For each asset, property, car, bank account, your beneficiaries will have to produce a document such as title deeds, log book, bank statement. (There are no executors in Spain).
- This is not urgent but your heirs will need NIE numbers. It is now obligatory when owning any registered assets in Spain for all parties involved to have NIE numbers. If your heirs are coming to Spain, then consider contacting us in advance for them to arrange an NIE number (at the moment we need about 3 weeks notice).
- Keep copies of your NIE numbers with your deeds.
- Keep your tax receipts. As well as needing to produce title deeds for properties or vehicles and any other Spanish assets in the inheritance process, it may be necessary to demonstrate that all applicable taxes have been paid up to date, such as Suma (road tax) for a car.
- Keep your old, cancelled passports. Passports are generally renewed every 10 years. In some cases, the original (albeit by then cancelled) passports can be useful in terms of proving identity.
- Hold joint bank accounts if possible. In many cases, it can be both more tax efficient and easier for joint owners of a Spanish property to hold a joint Spanish bank account to cover the running expenses of the property, rather than holding individual bank accounts. Tell your heirs to speak to us before contacting the Bank.
- Tell your heirs to contact us shortly after death for advice as there are only six months from the date of death for payment of inheritance tax. As many of our clients know, to have everything ready by the six month cut-off point is sometimes not easy.
- Consider purchasing a funeral plan. It is important when making your estate planning arrangements that you carefully consider the arrangements for (and funding of) your funeral.
Even now you can help the process and make the experience that your beneficiaries will have to face so much easier if you follow the above advice. I recommend making a folder with copies of all documents relating to assets in Spain. Even if a bank statement is old it will show your account is there and the number.
Above all, my number one tip is to make a Spanish Will. Not only does Grant of Probate take a very long time to obtain sometimes at home, but I am aware that Letters of Administration can cost 10 times the amount you would pay for a Spanish Will!
Please contact me if you have any questions.

Subject: CBA 101: Owners, players brace for negotiations
Sun Nov 28, 2010 2:50 pm
The NBA's collective bargaining agreement -- the blueprint for all business that takes place between the league and its players in this multi-billion dollar industry -- expires on June 30, 2011. If the two sides are not able to hammer out a new agreement by then, the league seems almost certain to stop operations until a new one is signed. That would effectively "lock out" the players and threaten the start of the 2011-2012 season.Both sides have insisted that reaching an agreement is paramount to maintaining the league's soaring popularity.Jordan shoes The NBA has had only one work stoppage in its 64-year history -- the 1998-99 lockout that reduced that season to 50 games -- though negotiations always stir passion and sometimes rancorous debate."We know we're going to get an agreement done," NBA commissioner David Stern said on the eve of the season. "And we think that the enthusiasm of the season and the prospective growth that it will ultimately represent will enable us to sit down with the players and negotiate in good faith. And we both seem intent on doing all that we can to reach a deal."
National Basketball Players Association president Derek Fisher, a guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, said earlier this year: "We don't want a lockout. We don't want our fans to not experience our game. We want to play basketball. That's what we love to do and that's what a lot of us have been blessed to do. There's no desire on our part to not play basketball in 2011-2012."If the two sides agree on one thing, it is that achieving labor peace is going to take time and a lot of painstaking work. The sides continue to talk,Nike Air Jordan somewhat sporadically, yet they reportedly remain apart on several important issues.Tops among them, as is often the case: money.The NBA is pushing for a dramatic adjustment to the league's economic system. Stern claims that the NBA has lost more than $1 billion since the current CBA went into effect in 2005-06, including $380 million last season. In October, Stern said that the league is looking to cut $750-800 million annually from player alaries and benefits that total $2.1 billion, though the league reportedly may be willing to phase in those cuts.
The players note that the NBA, by its own accounting, is coming off a season of record revenues, which has led to bigger player payrolls and the highest cap on salaries ever. A LeBron James Summer that helped spur season-ticket sales to their highest levels in years has only added to the league coffers. Sports Business Journal reported in September that the league had received $100 million in new full-season ticket sales.The league contends that costs -- mainly player salaries -- have skyrocketed out of control. It claims many teams continue to lose vast amounts of money,Air Jordans necessitating the new economic model. The league won't say how many teams lost money last season, but Forbes put the number at 12 for the 2008-2009 season.
"Even though we reported we have record season ticket sales over the summer and otherwise very robust revenue generation, because of the built in cost of the system, it's virtually impossible for us to move the needle in terms of our losses," said deputy commissioner Adam Silver, the league's chief negotiator. So the league has proposed, among other measures, a set restriction on salaries -- a "hard" salary cap -- along with the rollback in player salaries that Stern mentioned in October.NBPA executive director Billy Hunter has disputed both the league's figures and its accounting methods.cheap Jordan shoes He added that the league's insistence of "a hard cap, a 40 percent rollback in player salaries, unlimited expense deductions and the elimination of guaranteed contracts" would "inevitably result in a lockout and the cancellation of part or all of the 2011-2012 season."
The league actually has an option to extend the current CBA for a year, as long as it notifies the players union by December 15. But the league almost certainly won't sign on for another year of what they consider a bad deal. Stern, Silver,Jordan shoes key owners and a host of lawyers are ready to work with the union to hammer out something new.Here's a look at some major issues that face the two sides in what promises to be a complex and -- if history is any indicator -- sometimes contentious negotiation.

When Fay Zetlin first started drawing at age 49, she experienced "the strangest sensation--like an electric current connecting the paper, my hand, my gut, my heart and my brain.
"After 30 years of working at all kinds of jobs including advertising copywriter, book reviewer and medical researcher , I suddenly realized that this was exactly where I was supposed to be." Today Zetlin, 75, is artist-in-residence at Old Dominion University in Norfolk.
Four years ago, she discovered "the artistic delights of color Xerox machines" and renounced the traditional mediums of oil, watercolor and clay in favor of "machine-generated art.
"Right now I'm into microfiche," she says, gesturing toward a wall of abstract prints inspired by ancient symbols and created with modern technology. "By using machines in ways different from what they're intended for, you can produce fascinating images.
"In today's world, art is getting more like science, and science is getting more like art. My message is that time is relative. It changes everything, yet changes nothing. I combine the past and the future to get Now."
Zetlin is one of five practicing older artists whose work is featured in "Patina"--an exhibit named for the mellow beauty that comes with age. First assembled for the 1981 White House Conference on Aging, the show opened last week at the National Council on the Aging's new headquarters in southwest Washington to inaugurate a series of programs highlighting the creative contributions of older men and women.
"We want to illustrate that creativity and talent doesn't necessarily have an age limit," says Jackie Sunderland, director of NCOA's National Center on the Arts and Aging. "Older artists have something quite unique to say to the world. Their work combines imagination and discipline, seasoned technique and fresh insight, plus a terrific store of experiential wisdom."
Studies of "art and aging" indicate, she says, "that creativity and artistic production are sustained, and even increased, in the second half of life. Creative activity directly relates to many developmental needs of the elderly," including communication, conflict resolution, clarification of thoughts and feelings, creation of balance and inner order, a sense of control of the external world and sustaining personal integrity.
"And best of all," Sunderland says, "art is great fun."
Interest in the relationship between creativity and aging has increased, she says, "because as a society we are getting older. One out of every five Americans is currently 55 or older and one in nine is 65 or older. By the year 2030, nearly one out of five people in this country will be 65 or older."
The five older artists featured in "Patina," she says, "offer a very positive side to growing old in a youth-oriented culture." Zetlin was the only exhibitor able to attend last week's opening reception. The other artists are:
* Elizabeth "Grandma" Layton, 73, of Wellsville, Kan., who started drawing intense, extraordinary life scenes in her late sixties as therapy after a 40-year bout with severe depression.
* Lotte Jacobi, 86, an internationally known portrait photographer who made her first picture with a pinhole camera in 1908. She lives and works in Deering, N.H.
* Jacob Lawrence, 65, of Seattle, whose career was launched by a federal arts project during the Depression. Lawrence's art often portrays the dignity of work, and he was invited by President Carter to design a poster commemorating Labor Day 1980.
* Maria Enriquez de Allen, 75, a Mexican folk artist now living in Chicago who combines embroidery, quilting, crochet and clay modeling to form unique collages and decorated objects.
"As artists," says Zetlin, "we are engaged in getting to the kernel of experience. And as older artists, we have a broader experience to draw upon."
Zetlin, who enrolled in her first drawing class in 1956 after being "nagged to death" by a friend, does abstract work "because it goes beyond just seeing something to capture the experience itself."
Her work, she says, "has gone through many stages. For two years I did nothing but pears. I threw a bunch of them up in the air like birds and did a piece called 'A Skyful of Pears.' "
In recent years, Zetlin has worked with computer chips, Voyager photographs and transparency machines. Her new ideas, she says, "spin off whatever I'm working on. It's like a love affair--one thing leads to another with no mother to tell you 'Uh-uh.' "
She stumbled into her "microfiche stage" several years ago when trying to adjust the machine in the university library. "I noticed that when it was out of focus it made beautiful shapes," recalls Zetlin, who got a grant from Xerox in 1980 to use their machinery for her art. "I played with it, and subjected the black and white prints to a heat process to add colors. The librarians shudder when they see me coming."
Much of her inspiration comes from ancient designs and symbols. "Certain images, like snakes and fire, are common to all cultures going back to prehistoric times," Zetlin says. "Often they deal with magic and religion. They touch us in a central way.
"As far as feelings are concerned, we're probably similar to the way we were in ancient days. But as far as technology we're light years different." Producing these ancient, universal symbols with modern machines, she says, "is my attempt to capture the human experience of time."
She prefers machines to paint brushes, "because artists throughout history have always used the tools of their time, and today machines are our tools."
"A lot of people--young and old--are afraid of technology. But I love it. It has its fearsome aspects, but it's also a fascinating tool. I don't believe in longing after a golden past. I'm much too excited about living in the present."
Patina is open to the public weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the National Council on the Aging, 600 Maryland Ave. SW.

The dog days of summer are fast approaching. Historically, August brings some of the warmest, sunniest days of the year to the Northeast, and it's prime time to enjoy the abundance of its hikes, camping opportunities, and paddles. By now, you've peeled your active wardrobe down a few layers to just a T-shirt and shorts, and you've traded the beanie out for a ball cap. But, if you haven't already, now is also the time to swap out the shoes for sandals—and not just for long walks on the beach or the backyard barbecue. If you need convincing, here are 10 reasons you should consider making sandals your first pick for any summertime multi-sport adventure.
Sandals have no barriers to cram your toes. When you're wearing boots and shoes, this sensation can be especially painful when you're descending a mountain (hello, black toenails). An open toe box also eliminates those nagging hot spots on your forefoot.
Less material than a fully enclosed shoe automatically makes sandals a lighter option compared to hiking boots and sneakers. For those who are especially stoked on the fast-and-light mentality, sandals take this to extremes, cutting down on weight while keeping essential aspects there, like traction and support.
Many things may cause your feet to temporarily swell, including high temperatures and exercising. Wearing sandals thus gives your midfoot and forefoot more space if comfort is your primary goal.
That's right. You can ditch the socks for the trip and not risk getting athlete's foot or smelly shoes. By design, sandals are ultra-breathable, so your feet can sweat. In turn, you don't have to rely on socks to regulate temperature or moisture like you would if you were wearing a boot or hiking shoe.
Do your summer plans have you traversing a river? How about a paddling trip where you'll be portaging your boat? For these journeys, sandals are often a first choice. You don't have to wear socks—they'll inevitably get soggy—and they dry much quicker than a hiking shoe. As well, many active sandals have a lugged or slip-resistant outsole that performs well on slick surfaces.
Many people love to go barefoot in the summer, whenever possible. If it weren't for sharp rocks, glass, and animal scat on the trails, I'd say follow your heart and ditch footwear altogether. However, some of these factors can really ruin your fun and even sideline you for the rest of the season. Sandals provide a solid compromise, offering protection underfoot and still exposing your feet to the elements.
Put your shoe horns away. Sandals are far less complicated to put on and take off than lace-up shoes. For this reason especially, sandals make excellent approach shoes to the crag or the trailhead before the terrain becomes too gnarly. Most styles utilize a one-handed closure system, making for a fuss-free transition to more sport-specific footwear.
Sandals do not have a rigid exterior, thus making them more compressible and easier to fit into your backpack or luggage. Don't have any space left in the bag? No problem. Just attach the sandals' straps to your pack's daisy chains or gear loops.
As I mentioned earlier, sandals do not utilize a traditional lace-up system. As such, there's nothing that will eventually fray and break, and need to be replaced. It also means your laces won't come untied and trip you mid-stride.
Multi-sport sandals are constructed with a sturdy rubber outsole and a supportive midsole, while their straps are either made of strong polyester webbing or leather. In short, these aren't your grade-school jelly shoes, and they'll reliably last through many journeys.
Don't sell your other shoes to a consignment store just yet, though. The aforementioned reasons are not meant to cloud your better logic. If your activity requires specialty footwear—as with cycling and rock climbing—do not substitute them with sandals. Additionally, if you will be going on a long trek or will be doing some serious bushwhacking, even the sportiest sandals aren't enough. Your feet and ankles require a greater degree of protection and support.
Sandals have evolved to meet the needs of more than just the beachcombers, and are now a practical option for many of your recreational endeavors. To those with hesitation, I encourage you to take a walk on the wild side this summer, and even out those sock tans.

With the development of synthetic materials that boast lighter weights, odor resistance, and moisture-wicking capabilities, cotton has been curb-stomped as a viable option for an active lifestyle. The phrase "cotton kills" is almost as trendy as #vanlife, but it might actually be an unwarranted blanket statement that causes us to second-guess its inclusion in our trip planning. Sure, synthetics are still king. They keep you dry and warm–a key factor when any hike turns into a survival situation. But, what if cotton still has a place in your gear closet?
We are all humans, and we all sweat. Living in the Northeast, we are graced with humid, sunny days, which contribute to frequent perspiration in even moderately active pursuits. That means sweat dripping off the tip of your nose and clammy creases behind the knees. Trying to wipe sweat off my face with a polyester shirt is like trying to mop up a drink spill with plastic wrap. Thus, for the built-in hand and face towel aspect, I prefer to wear a cotton shirt on a hot day at the crag or on a sunny, short hike. It may make my shirt a little heavier, but the sweat becomes a cooling agent on those dog days of summer.
Cotton does cool down your core temperature, especially when wet—perfect for a sweltering day. But, if you're working up a sweat, and surrounding temperatures drop, a soggy shirt or pair of sweats will take your body heat down with it. If you'll be doing moderate to high activity in temperatures below 55 degrees, synthetic or merino wool layers are important, as they do not absorb nearly as much moisture. When rain is in the forecast, hot or cold, opt for a water-resistant or waterproof shell instead of a hoodie. And, always think of the worst-case scenario. Even if it's hot during the day, if a surprise storm rolls in, or if you end up stranded overnight, cotton certainly can kill.
I like the care of my clothing to be as simple as possible. Cotton can be washed in water at any temperature and spin speed. You don't have to worry about losing a few sizes in the drying stage, as most cotton is pre-shrunk these days. Likewise, you don't need to worry about melting the material in the dryer.
We've all been there: hovering around a fire trying to stay warm on a cold night when you're camping, or you've gotten a little too close trying to roast the perfect marshmallow or arrange the optimum log-stacking situation. Out of the belly of the fire, a tiny ember jumps and lands on your favorite puffy, melting a hole in the outer shell. I hope you brought your gear tape.
Next time, wear a flannel shirt. They don't just look cool when you're hanging around a fire. They're also rather favorable when flames come into play. Their cotton cellulose composition withstands exposure to embers and higher heats, when compared to the thermoplastic materials making up your puffy or fleece shirt.
My insulated jackets (yes, I have a variety) keep me warm, happy, and playing outside through all four seasons. But, save those prized investments for when heat sources are not available, when you have to retain all of the remaining body heat you have left, or when weight is a factor, like when you're summiting a 4,000-footer in late fall or when you're sleeping in subzero temps. Car camping and bonfire building on a cool summer night? Play it safe with durability.
Cotton is a great option for every budget. And, chances are you already have a few T-shirts lying around your room from giveaways at the last ski movie premier. Compared to the other activewear fibers, such as wool and polyester, cotton is the least likely to break the bank and most likely to leave you with an extra $5 or $10 to buy a pizza after your hike.
I'm all about comfort at this stage in the adventure cycle. Maybe you went kayaking and took a spill, or kicked up a ton of mud biking through the forest after a rainstorm. Perhaps you're like me and just sweat a lot when you ski. Nothing feels better than peeling off nasty technical clothes to throw on a dry pair of sweats, especially if you're looking at a lengthy drive home.
For better or worse, no miracle material suits every adventure. As with any piece of gear, there's a time and a place for cotton, and sometimes, it merely whittles down to personal preference. While it's important not to forget the safety value of synthetics, it's maybe time we remember cotton's redeeming factors and how it can be a useful staple in everyone's gear bin.
This season, why just give the gift of rad gear, when you can give a gift that also supports your happy camper's habits and the Northeast's economy? While Eastern Mountain Sports carries brands from all over the map, consider adding some local flavor to your holiday shopping list. Most of the items mentioned are manufactured at their company's headquarters, so spending money just got a lot more responsible.
Based in Dover, NH, Nemo has brought tent innovation to the next level. Nemo combines lightweight materials and strategic design to make shelters that can withstand the elements and won't weigh your pals down. This Wagontop 4P is an excellent choice for the extended camping trip, with design considerations that keep comfort and space at the forefront. For instance, with its 80-inch ceiling height, everyone can walk in and out with their head held high.
Woolrich has a long tradition of keeping its customers warm and dry. Historically, this Woolrich, Penn., company has provided lumber camps, farmers, railroad workers, and even Civil War soldiers with durable outerwear and blankets. The Sherpa Rough Rider, in the brand's classic Buffalo Check, will be a welcome addition for that friend who's pursuing the van life.
Based in Kittery, Maine, Good To-Go was created for backpackers by a fellow backpacker—who also happens to be a classically trained chef. The brand makes flavorful, easy-to-prepare dehydrated meals for every camper on your list. This 3-pack offers a breakfast, lunch, and dinner option, with two vegan choices. Just add cold or hot water, and your ravenous pals are "Good To-Go."
This Manchester, NH, company has revolutionized the way campers cook in the backcountry. Its line of stoves and cooking systems significantly reduces the amount of fuel needed to boil water. And, the Jetboil Flash is as simple as it gets. Fill the cup with water, push the button, and wait for the heat indicator to change colors. All together, this process takes approximately four minutes for the whole cup. A Jack-of-all-trades, the Flash packs all components into the cooking cup and works with all other Jetboil cooking accessories.
Tested in the Vermont wilderness and made entirely in Northfield, these socks are industry leaders for comfort in a myriad of conditions. The Micro Crew Hiking Socks (also available in women's sizes) have cushioning and support where it's needed most. And, their merino blend will keep the trailblazer's feet dry and blister-free during those rainy-day hikes and super-sweaty summer treks. As a bonus, Darn Tough boasts that they do absolutely no outsourcing when making this and other products.
Located in Littleton, NH, the heart of the White Mountains, Adventure Medical Kits knows how to efficiently stock a first aid kit for any endeavor. The compact Ultralight 0.5 is ideal for your pals on the fast and light track, or could make a clutch stocking stuffer. Waterproof inner bags keep contents dry in any condition, and it contains enough supplies for up to two days.
Climbers in the Northeast are familiar with granite and how tough it can be on gear. Considering this, Sterling makes some of the most durable climbing ropes on the market at their home plant in Biddeford, Maine. The Velocity's smooth sheath allows for easy feeding through belay devices, effortless clipping of gear, and minimizes rope drag. This all-arounder is arguably the best pick for rock and ice climbers alike.
Headquartered in Pennsauken, NJ, Princeton Tec has spent 40 years paving the way for personal lighting. In this regards, the Sync is easily one of the most versatile gifts, offering something for the late-night reader, the after-dark grill master, the nighttime dog walker, and the outdoor enthusiast. It offers five different beam combinations (that's more than your smartphone, FYI) and features an easy-to-use dial for changing between them. Include a four-pack of AAA batteries for the ultimate gift combo.
Nalgene, born in Rochester, NY, debuted its lightweight, leak-proof bottles in the Adirondacks. And, made by the same company that brought you the indestructible wide-mouth water bottle, this kit is ideal for the traveler on your list. Each Bottle Kit container holds 4 fl. oz. or less and offers the globetrotter on your list a convenient solution for taking their favorite shampoo, moisturizer, or whiskey in the carry-on bag.
Located on the coast of Maine in Scarborough, Flowfold draws inspiration from the state's textile and sailing history. Sleek by design, the Minimalist is constructed of ultra-lightweight X-Pac fabric. As a result, it keeps credit cards and cash protected from the rigors of nature…or your sister's handbag.

Strategy 3 involves improving the bail setting policy by formalizing and implementing a policy to provide less restrictive release conditions for defendants who are charged with Class 3 Misdemeanors. This strategy also includes quality assurance reviews to monitor adherence to and outcomes of the policy change. Additionally, strategy 3 addresses broad considerations of alternatives to financial bail and diversion options for high risk, low charge defendants by utilizing a Social Worker to provide linkage to services for this population to reduce length of stay in jail.
Revising the local bail policy to reduce jail bookings of defendants charged with Class 3 Misdemeanors should result in reduced length of stay for these defendants. This policy change will be implemented early in the grant period, as it requires an Administrative Order signed by the Chief District Court Judge. This policy is anticipated to be implemented by the end of 2017.
Reduced jail bookings for defendants on Class 3 Misdemeanor charges with less than four previous convictions, and a reduction in the length of stay of defendants facing only Class 3 Misdemeanor charges with four or more convictions will indicate successful implementation of this policy.
This strategy also includes the addition of a Social Worker within the Public Defender's Office to assist in diversion efforts for defendants who are high risk, but facing low level Class 1-3 Misdemeanor charges. The Social Worker will assist these defendants with identifying the needs that may result in the defendant's higher risk scores and providing appropriate linkages for the defendant to services in the community. The success of this position will be measured by the length of stay of high risk, low charge defendants, where a reduction in the length of stay for these individuals indicates successful implementation.
Criminal Justice Services will periodically update this section with strategy and implementation updates, as well as performance dashboards.

The boyfriend of a Bronx woman has been charged with killing her, nearly six months after parts of her body began washing up around the city, the police said.
The man, Joshua Nowtang, 42, of the Bronx, was charged on Friday with second-degree murder in the death of Rawayti Haimraj, 35.
Ms. Haimraj, who had two children with Mr. Nowtang, had been beaten and strangled, the medical examiner's office said. Mr. Nowtang, who is from Guyana, has been held by immigration officials here.Continue reading the main story
