We offer two different alloy blends of damascus steel, engineered entirely for rings. Our blends are not a repurposed product of the knife making industry (Carbon Damascus) and do not require the edge retention properties of high carbon steel, so why develop a damascus entirely around it for rings? Carbon damascus steel rings rust. We made Carbon Damascus Rings for years, it's how we got started, and we are extremely proud of our history and the trail it's taken too develop the RING SPECIFIC Damascus steel alloy blends we produce today. The years of testing (often on my own finger, with ring #1) has shown that the environmental conditions as well as your bodies specific chemistry can cause corrosion issues with carbon damascus steel rings (Not too mention leaching nickel from 15N20 steel found commonly in carbon damascus rings!). I've seen rings on my own finger turn completely orange, stain my finger orange, and cause allergic reactions and skin infections on my own fingers and customers fingers.
How is this still the bulk of what's available in the carbon Damascus steel ring market!?
We intend too change that!
Our Extreme contrast "Hybrid" damascus does contain High carbon tool steel as one of the constituent alloys, and as stated above that is susceptible to rust. Luckily in our case, it's only 30% of the material in the ring, so it's not as much of an issue since 70% of the material is surgical stainless steel which WILL NOT RUST! With that said, our Hybrid material is for those customers who wish to have the highest contrast possible, with the recognition that this ring isn't quite right for you if you say....work in a battery factory and insist on not wearing gloves, regularly operate a lemon juicer in a salt mine, or bare handed wrestle electric eels every Tuesday. If these qualities concern you, we have a solution!
"V2" High Contrast Stainless Steel Damascus!
We're able to obtain similar contrasts too our revolutionary, bold, "Hybrid" damascus steel while putting corrosion resistance as our first priority with this exciting new product line. The stainless steel alloys that make up our "V2" material blend are so corrosion resistant, we struggle to etch them to reveal the pattern! It takes a precisely controlled etching solution to have any effect on the material and we're confident in it's corrosion resistant properties. Additionally, our rings go through an industrial process called "Passivation" which ensures a uniform, highly corrosion resistant surface that results in a ring with lasting beauty!
We are concerned about the corrosion resistance of our products and we've begun lengthy and expensive LAB TESTING to ensure the product we deliver behaves consistently and predictably to exceed all industry standards!

QEM Blog 6
QEM Blog 6
Another productive week has gone by and I cannot help but notice how fast this internship has been. Certainly, this has something to do with how there are new and interesting tasks to do every day from working in the NSF, to having lunch with a fellow intern, and even visiting a STEM Education Policy Panel after work. So, the highlights of this week have been numerous and fun. On July 4th, I was invited to my mentor's high rise apartment where I met professionals in the science and journalism fields as well as seeing the fireworks over the National Mall.
The subsequent days where productive since on Wednesday I manage to write about my perspective on STEM policy, on Thursday I had a successful midterm evaluation conversation with QEM Coordinator Kendrick Pullen where we discussed areas of improvement as well as my NSF project. Fun fact, even though being tired from work and the evaluation, I attended a STEM Policy Panel on the US Capitol which helped me meet numerous STEM professionals who were intrigued by my NSF work and managed to add me on Linkedin. I must thank my friend Meredith whom I met in the Hispanic Caucus meeting for informing me of the opportunity.
The next day on Friday I managed to have a meeting with Aixa Aleman, a renown NSF environmental anthropologist, and we spend a good hour discussing the opportunities available if I choose to attend grad school for that field. Thereafter I had a phone interview with Catherine Chan, the chairperson of the University of Hawaii (Manoa) Natural Resource Management degree. She was very kind to accept my invitation to discuss my grad school goals and informed me of the tasks I must complete to get accepted into her program.
This conversation was very fulfilling because it has been my childhood goal to go to school in Hawaii. I certainly must thank QEM for helping me arrive at this point of my life. Being an NSF research intern and having an actual NSF email certainly helps when making professional and academic connections.

Relaxation Lamp
Oamaru Stone
Height 290 mm

Oamaru stone is a perfect medium for sculpting a modern lamp like the one above. Due to the stone being porous it draws in the light instead of reflecting it away. Colors from the LED lights slowly change to create a relaxing ambiance.

Untitled Modernist Sculpture
Oamaru Stone
Height 590 mm
Width 625 mm
Length 280 mm
I really enjoy working with abstracts and with this modernist sculpture I wanted to create a piece that pushes the stone to the limit with the way it twists and turns.
Many of the recent sculptures on this website are commissioned projects, particularly the larger sculptures. They are all designed, measured and sculpted to suit the customers needs. When I meet a client for the first time we discuss ideas about the design and the meaning behind the finished artwork. I will then take a photo of the area where the artwork is going to be placed and get some measurements of the height, width and length.
I then draw up a design and paste it into the background image using computer graphics so the customer gets to see what the sculpture will look like before it is carved.A quote and details about the project are also given.
Once the sculpture is underway, progress photos are emailed to the client at different stages of completion.
If you are interested in purchasing an artwork or you would like to commission a sculpture, I would love to hear from you.

July 10, 2014 - Regular Meeting
The Regular Monthly Meeting of the Montour Township Board of Supervisors was called to order on
July 10, 2014, at 7:30 p.m., by Chairman Gerald Powers, all members present.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
A moment of Silence was observed.
Linda Woodward would like to thank Richard Vanderpool for repairing the knobs on the air conditioning.
Debbie Midkiff's mother reported that Debbie could not attend the meeting but is thankful for the road work that was done on Boone Road.
John Reibsome asked about Tower Drive and the inefficiency of the Supervisors to repair Tower Drive.
Mr. Mullen stated that this was part of the flood damage done on Tower, Gipple and Hollow Roads. The Township is waiting for FEMA monies to repair the road. Mr. Mullen also stated that he thinks that there might be a hold up at the county level. These roads are scheduled to be repaired; the Township is waiting on the funds to complete the work.
Mr. Powers wants the residents to be aware of a State Statute, 65 PA C. S. A. § 710.1 Public participation: The Board or Council of a political subdivision or of an authority created by a political subdivision shall provide a reasonable opportunity at each advertised regular meeting and advertised special meeting for residents of the political subdivision or the authority created by a political subdivision or for taxpayers of the political subdivision or of the authority created by a political subdivision or for both to comment on matters of concern, official action or deliberation which are or may be before the board or council prior to taking official action. The board or council has the option to accept all public comment at the beginning of the meeting. If the board or council determines that there is not sufficient time at a meeting for residents of the political subdivision or of the authority created by a political subdivision or for taxpayers of the political subdivision or of the authority created by a political subdivision or for both to comment, the board or council may defer the comment period to the next regular meeting or to a special meeting occurring in advance of the next regular meeting.
Solicitor Roberts stated that the statute clearly states that the Township Supervisors can limit speaking at a public meeting to residents or taxpayers.
Mr. Powers stated that the Townships office supply costs are over budget at 254% due to paper use and copying. He also stated that the Public Comment Period of the meetings is approximately 63% of the meeting time
A MOTION was made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Powers, to approve the Minutes of the Regular Monthly Meeting of June 12, 2014 as drafted. Motion carried.
A MOTION was made by Mr. Powers, seconded by Mrs. Carl, to approve the Minutes of the Special Meeting of June 23, 2014 as drafted. Motion carried.
A MOTION was made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Powers, to approve bills to be paid from the General Fund in the amount of $48,629.57. Motion carried.
A MOTION was made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mrs. Carl, to approve bills to be paid from the Special Police Fund in the amount of $1,416.35. Motion carried.
A MOTION was made by Mr. Powers, seconded by Mr. Mullen, to approve bills to be paid from the Highway Fund in the amount of $4,592.82. Motion carried.
A MOTION was made by Mr. Powers, seconded by Mrs. Carl, to approve bills to be paid from the Sewer Fund in the amount of $13,287.47. Motion carried.

A MOTION was made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Powers to ratify General Fund Check #11029 in the amount ot $100.53 to IRS for payroll taxes. Motion carried.
Harry Strausser, representative of Remit Corporation, presented information from his company to collect past due sewer bills. Remit Corp. is based on Main Street in Bloomsburg. He spoke to Mr. Mullen and thought that there was an indication that the Township could benefit from their service. He presented a proposal to the Board.
Mr. Mullen expressed a concern that he has that the Township does not receive reports from the current agency. He asked if Remit would submit monthly reports to the Township.
Mr. Strausser asked the Supervisors what amount is the starting point of collections.
Solicitor Roberts stated that there is already a collections process in place with Gary Bittenbender.
Mr. Powers asked Mr. Strausser what is the cost percentage associated with their collections, and what is their success rate.
Mr. Strausser stated that 25% is a common percent, but it could be added to the total of the delinquent bill. The success rate depends on the leverage used to collect such as fees, liens and termination of water services. The average is around 15% in the USA.
Solicitor Roberts stated that the Township is currently under contract with ARB and he is not in favor of terminating the contract in the middle. The Board directed Solicitor Roberts to contact ARB concerning terminating the contract.
John Bauer, STP Operator, has submitted a written report of activities for the month of June, 2014.
Mr. Bauer reported that everything is going good. He stated that the Quarry Drive. pump station is working but needs attention. Two lift pipes are shot and the control box needs to be completely re-gutted. It will be approximately $2000 to $3000 to repair. Mr. Bauer has started the process.
The digester that was put in 12 to 13 years ago has never been put into full use potential. Mr. Bauer would like to start using it more. When it was recently turned on the diffusers on the bottom were broken off. They need to be reattached. This will be done in house at a cost of approximately $1000. Mr. Bauer also stated that he will need a 24 foot extension ladder to access the inside of the tank. The cost of the ladder is approximately $200 to $300.
Mr. Powers stated that Max Stoner, Township Engineer, could not be present, however, he submitted a written report. Mr. Powers read from the report: # 4 on the report, Maintenance Building Addition: the contractor has been sent the contract closeout documents and the surety company is preparing their release form. When all the closeout documents are received, we will compile them into a booklet for distribution. #6 on the report, Pump Station No. 4 (Reading St): Sales Tax Exemption Certificates were provided to the vendors and the work is being coordinated between the contractors and John Bauer. The work is tentatively planned to be completed between late July and early August. Mr. Bauer stated that they will be pumping thru the manhole and that the road will need to be blocked from traffic for 3 to 5 days (one lane). The noise factor should be minimal. He will replace the dry wall & valve when the piping is back together. Mr. Bauer also asked if the fire department could flush out the bottom and wet well. Mr. Bauer is to contact Fire Chief Fosse.
A MOTION was made by Mr. Powers, seconded by Mrs. Carl to allocate the funds for the Quarry Drive. pump station repairs, ladder and diffuser repairs. Motion carried.
There was nothing new to discuss.
# 1 on Max Stoner's report: We have heard back from PPL on the work order. In areas subject to flooding, they typically do not want to utilize underground conduits. The Township's contractor met with PPL and they changed their mind and will allow the use of the underground conduits. The fence near the pump station needs removed and a platform built. PPL has tentatively scheduled the work for July 15th.
Already discussed.
# 5 on Max Stoners report: A draft letter is ready to be sent to PennDOT requesting an official field visit to the site. The report is underway for justifying the request for the emergency access to Montour Boulevard. There are a few items that are needed from PennDOT to complete the report. The opening of Perry Ave will be for emergency access only. There was a meeting with PennDOT approximately 1 ½ years ago. Requesting access to a state road under unusual conditions is a complicated process, this is why it is taking so long.
Marie Williams stated that Fred Giger was a Supervisor at the time the road was closed and he was the only one opposed to the closing. Mr. Mullen to contact Max Stoner.
Ms. Carl stated that the Budget is not too bad. We are over budget in supplies and salaries but everything else is good.
There was nothing new to be discussed.
There was nothing new to be discussed.
# 3 on Max Stoners report: We have provided additional information this past month for the Township in response to PEMA requests.
Mr. Mullen questioned if the Township has a Flood Mitigation Plan. It was stated that the Township adopted the County Plan. The County Plan was given to the Township on a computer disk.
It was also asked if the Township still wanted Joe Yeager to be the Township EMA Director. Mr. Powers to contact Mr. Yeager.
Chief Eckart stated that he is the Asst. EMA Director and that there is a lot of training that is involved in being a director.
There was nothing new to report. On hold.

Also more agriculture intense area to move to lower part of township.
Tom Patticoni stated that the Township residents have not been notified of these proposed changes.
Mr. Vanderpool stated that the discussions are held at the Planning Commission meetings. It was also stated that the meetings and the Comprehensive Plan have been in the newspaper.
Linda Woodward stated that the proposed event will be a one day event. The Township needs to find a place to hold it. Some possibilities are; by the Township shed, across from Tri County COG or possibly a county building. Linda stated that she has not had much time to look into it further.

Mr. Mullen stated that the signs have been ordered.
Courtney Soloman has completed the revisions to the 2012 Audit.
Mr. Powers requested that the 3 Township Auditors be given this audit to review.
The wireless network in the Township office is not being utilized. Theresa Hampton is to contact Tower Micro and another company to get a proposal on updating the computer system in the office.
Solicitor Roberts stated that he contacted a Geisinger Life Flight representative and that if given the towers coordinates they will note them for their flight paths. They are OK with no light on the tower.
Linda Woodward attended a recent meeting. Lycoming County has received money to monitor the gas wells. They will test the wells and then will test 2 to 3 years later. Montour and Columbia counties will be doing this testing for another reason, because of the CAFO's going in.
This program will be putting a proposal in to the state for monies to do this. They are requesting from the Township Supervisors a letter of support of this program.
A MOTION was made by Mr. Powers, seconded by Mr. Mullen to support this program. Motion carried.
Nick Fritz, Codes Officer, reported on the barking dog complaint from last month at 329 Reading St. He spoke to the resident and did not get anywhere. He went back again and took Office Kiefaber with him. When he spoke to the neighbors they said that there has been less barking.
Mr. Fritz received a call from Tri county Cog concerning a blow up pool. It has been taken down.
B. Dieterick, Perry Ave, was informed to board up windows or tear it down.
Mr. Fritz reported on the July 4th fireworks. He had suggested to the residents to start no earlier than 9:30 pm, also that the Boat Club start earlier, they started at 9:45 pm and ended approximately 10:09pm. He spoke to Mrs. Fisher and she is not completely happy but is better.
Mr. Frits also requested to have "Permits Required" signs placed at the entrances of the township. Mr. Mullen is to look into this.
Mr. Fritz also stated that he is still working on 522 Montour Boulevard.
Tim Mauk, Zoning Officer, submitted a report for the month of June 2014. He started by thanking Joelene, Theresa and Solicitor Roberts for their help getting him started in this position.
Mr. Mauk stated that he issued 2 permits, one to Dan McCarthy and one to Cleve Hummel.
There is one permit pending; Dr. Neil Engleman, sign permit; he is moving and needs new signs.
He reported that at the Zoning Hearing Board meeting last night the Allen Variance for 412 Valley road was accepted with conditions.
Tom Patacconi stated that there were campers at Mustang Sally's again this weekend.
Solicitor Roberts stated that it is a Zoning issue. He suggested that Mr. Patacconi submit a letter or meet with Mr. Mauk to get the facts straight in order for him to pursue this matter.
Linda Woodward and Cleve Hummel submitted a letter to the Board of Supervisors concerning campers on the lot across from the Township Police Station. This area is Village Residential and warehousing and storage of campers is not allowed. The area is overgrown and looks bad. Tom Long owns 3 lots and stores many campers over the winter and approximately 6 during the summer.
Part of the letter states; It is our request that the Supervisors review the ordinance and recommend that the Township's Zoning Officer take appropriate action to bring use of this land into compliance with the Zoning Ordinance.
Chief Eckart stated some of the campers were involved in the 2011 flooding and are damaged. Mr. Long keeps the campers there in the winter and sometimes moves them there in the summer when there is a threat of flooding in the campground.
Ms. Woodward said they had no problem with them being moved there in an emergency.
Tim Mauk to look into this matter.
Solicitor Roberts stated that the Bill of Sale was received.
Mr. Mullen reported that the grant put into the county was denied. He is looking into the Liquid Fuels monies received from the state. After the repair to Deussen & Boone we will have approximately $100,000.00 left. Mr. Mullen proposes that the Township put out for bid work on Tower Drive. The road would be ground up, additives added and put back onto the road and rolled out. It would be a Full Depth Reclamation from Brobst to the County line. He then proposed that next year there be tar and chip put over. He also stated that they will also identify areas where pipes are to go in.
John Reibsome asked if when winter maintenance is done on the roads, will it not remove some of the gravel surface. Mr. Mullen stated that there will be additives in the gravel and it will be compacted down and that will help with the structural integrity of the road, however, there will be some gravel removed but not enough to cause problems.
Work on Deussen & Boone, the contractor is preparing the sub-base tomorrow or Monday and we anticipate the project be done by the end of next week.
Police Chief Terry Eckart has submitted the following written report of activities for the month of June, 2014:
Fines issued
$2,093.00 – Montour Township
$2,446.00 – Catawissa Township
10 Traffic Citations – Montour Township
36 Traffic Citations – Catawissa Township
7 Non-traffic Citations – Montour Township
0 Non-traffic Citations – Catawissa Township
2 Criminal Arrests – Montour Township
1 Criminal Arrests – Catawissa Township
Chief Eckart had nothing more to report.
Fire Chief Brian Fosse submitted a report of Fire Department Statistics for the month of June 2014. He was not present to comment further.
John Bauer mentioned that DEP has a 3 tier analysis program for ground water testing if any resident wants to have the testing personally done. The cost is from $75 to $600 depending on the tier of testing chosen. John also stated that he would do the testing for the resident if they wished.
Linda Woodward stated that with the Ground Water Monitoring Program receiving grant monies there would be no cost to the property owner through this program.
Mr. Vanderpool commented that the Township directed the solicitor to work on a draft ordinance for inspections of change of use properties. He doesn't feel this is necessary to spend the money to do this and he suggested that the Board re consider it. He further stated that when two consenting adults enter into a contract they should be responsible enough to make sure everything is safe with that property.
Jamie Smith stated that there has been burning in Sunken Heights. She asked if there is an ordinance and what is allowed. They are to look into the zoning ordinance on the website. Residents are to contact Nick Fritz with complaints.
Mr. Powers reported that the Montour Township Board of Supervisors will hold their next Monthly Meeting on August 14, 2014, at 7:30 p.m.
There being no further business to discuss, the Meeting was adjourned at 9:45 p.m., on a MOTION of Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Powers. Motion carried.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joelene C. Sponenberg
Township Secretary
Theresa M. Hampton
Township Clerk

After accidentally amputating my 5th antenna last week, I decided to get a new cell phone. As it happens, the black RAZR has no external antenna. Woot! I love faux-practicality. I begin the hunt for the best price.
Oddly enough, locally-run Cartoys.com is offering the best terms out there: a one-year agreement with Cingular, and the phone is free after $100 mail-in rebate. I generally hate rebates, but the deal is too good to pass up. I fill out the online order form, indicating that I want to port my existing Verizon number from Austin, TX. So far, so good.
On Sunday I get the phone. Just the phone. No documentation, nothing. I have to wait until Monday to call Cartoys. They give me a new phone number with a Redmond, WA area code. They also tell me that I'll have to call Cingular myself to activate the phone. Upon hearing the new number, I remind them about porting my old number. They tell me that Cingular can help here as well.
I call Cingular and things start to get even more confusing. The representative tells me that my SIM card is for the California market, and can't be used to port my old number. I'll have to go to a bricks-and-mortar Cingular store to pick up a free replacement SIM card.
This is a pain, but I do it.
New SIM at the ready, I call Cingular back and read them a sequence of digits befitting a recently-discovered Mersenne prime. Everything seems to go according to plan, and I am directed to call an 800 number to accept the terms and conditions of my contract. This will be the final step.
A stupid automated voice reads my contract. "Twenty-four months," it says. That's not right. I'm only supposed to be committed for a year. Instead of pressing 1 to accept the contract, or star to repeat it, I hang up (no other options are offered).
At this point my memory gets fuzzy. I think I call Cartoys first, and they offer to contact Cingular on my behalf. They get back to me saying that everything is fine and has been all along. Again I dial the number to accept the terms and conditions. Again the stupid automated voice says "twenty-four months."
Back to Cartoys, who have become decidedly unhelpful at this point. Call Cingular, they say. I call Cingular. I spend 30 minutes arguing with the representative who alternates between telling me he can't do anything, and suggesting that it's impossible to buy a 1-year term contract over the internet (despite the fact that I have done exactly this). I mention the receipt that I am holding. I ask him to look up the Redmond number that Cartoys originally gave me, and he sees a 1-year term. Neither of these facts seem to dissuade him.
May I please speak to your supervisor? (Translation: you are a damn moron, and at this point I'll take my chances with any other sentient life form.)
After the obligatory retelling of my entire story, the supervisor changes the contract on the Austin, TX number to 1 year. I get the impression that she thinks she is doing me some kind of favor. Again I call the terms and conditions robot. This time the speaker quacks "twelve months". I accept.
Now she tells me, all I have to do is cancel out that Redmond, WA number. Fine. Whatever. I never wanted it in the first place. I'm transferred to someone else for this purpose. Believe it or not, the fun continues.
The new voice on the end of the line mentions something about a $175 cancellation charge. I pretty much tell the whole story again. I'm really good at it. Maybe next time I'll use funny voices for the different characters.
"Because we're within 30 days, I can do it free of charge due to buyer's remorse," he says. Another "favor". This is getting too weird. By now I am the most freaking remorseful buyer on Earth, but it doesn't sound right. I ask him to table the whole cancellation thing until I talk to Cartoys but it's too late: the Redmond number is already cancelled.
"They'll probably want you to return the equipment," he says. He talks about going down to pick up a new phone if this happens. He quotes me a price on a replacement phone. I tell him I don't understand. I just got the damn phone, why the hell would I return it? Maybe Cartoys won't want it back, he says.
At this point Cartoys is closed. All their phones are magically disabled the instant their painstakingly-calibrated atomic clock strikes 4:59:59 PM. I resolve to call them tomorrow.
To be continued…
Update: Dan from Cartoys got me all sorted out. Unfortunately, the only way to undo all this mess was to ditch my Austin number and go with the Redmond one. After everything I've been through, this actually seems reasonable.

The first of my practicum questions was on Isaiah. Since this has a large amount of eschatological language and imagery in it, I was excited to see this text. This chapter still is interesting to me and this assignment stirred me to study it more in the future.
Hopefully these questions provide some insight into my thought on the nature of prophecy. Hopefully they are able to stir you to some deeper thoughts on the subject as well.
1.1. What significance should be placed on the texts location within the book (near the end)? Does it matter which king's reign this prophecy came under?
1.2. Would it have application differences if this prophecy comes near the end of Isaiah's ministry and the exile of Israel? Does the difference between preventative and redemptive prophecy alter the application to the church?
1.3. Is Isaiah or God the speaker of this prophetic statement?
1.4. Is it significant that the closest proclamation text declares the speaker to be the "LORD God" (אדני יהוה) (Isa 65:13) and not just "LORD" (Isa 65:8)?
1.5. Who specifically is the "they" that the LORD (Isa 65:13) is speaking to or is this spoken all listeners/readers in general? What audience does the general context of Isaiah 65:1 ("ready for those who did not seek me, found by those who did not seek me") establish?
1.6. How does Paul's application of that text to Gentiles (Rom 10:19-21) affect the contextual audience of the text in question (Isa 65:24)? Can this be strictly limited to the bloodline of Israel? How does this open up the application of this text to modern Gentile churches?
1.7. What theological and historical contextual changes are typically understood by the language "new heavens and new earth" (Isa 65:17)?
1.8. Returning to the synthesis of "LORD God" (Isa 65:13) as the speaker, does this correlate to the original creation account distinction: Gen 1 (God) and Gen 2 (LORD)? Is the prophet Isaiah utilizing multiple symbols and styles to draw these passages together?
1.9. Does the promise of children within the context of "new heaven and earth" reflect a type of reversal of the Edenic curse (Gen 3:16)? Is this supported by the whole of the context (e.g. not laboring in vain, etc.)?
1.10. What affect does this have on "they" if it refers to the offspring/children promised in the previous verse (Isa 65:23)?
1.11. Does the Hebrew expression וְהָיָה (trans. "And it shall come to pass") in fact require that the promise be fulfilled in consequence to the previous verses and thus in the children? Does this exclude the application group down to the children of faithful/redeemed Israel?
1.12. Can this passage be speaking of the "eternal state" if new born children are in this promise? Does this passage dictate the literal/figurative/symbolic nature of this overall prophecy?
1.13. Is this passage a different recapitulation of the new covenant promises that include Israel's children (Jer 31: 34, 36-37; Joel 2:28-29)? Can these passages be said to speak of the same historical-redemptive events of Jesus Christ and the church?
1.14. If Isaiah's prophecy isn't of the eternal state, how does this passage's fulfillment compare or contrast to Revelation 21:1? Do these passages both refer to the inaugurating events of the new covenant (e.g. Lord's Super, Crucifixion, etc.)?
1.15. Is it justified to perceive Isaiah as speaking directly and specifically to a fulfillment found in the church (Rev 21:2, 9-10) given that Paul links this general chapter to Gentiles and John shares the symbolism?
1.16. If Isaiah's prophecy isn't of the eternal state, how does this passage's fulfillment compare or contract to 2 Peter 3:7?
1.17. Does the judgment described in 2 Peter help explain the distinct audiences in Isa 65:13-16? Or does one set of judgments act as a type for the final judgment?
1.18. How do 2 Peter and the prophecy in Joel (Joel 2:30-32) combine to support the prophecy in Isaiah?
1.19. Should the peaceful animal imagery (Isa 65:25) that follows the text in question (Isa 65:24) dictate the "language" of the prophecy?
1.20. Is the simplicity of the verbs in Isa 65:24 compatible with the symbolic imagery of the whole prophecy?
1.21. What is the possible range of definition for the verb "to call" used in the text?
1.22. What change of perspective is gained if "call" is translated "cried" as it is in many of the Psalms (e.g. Psa 3:4, 4:3, 17:6)?
1.23. What correlation to deliverance and salvation can be made from the use of this word in the Psalms?
1.24. Given the similarity in genre, is salvific application supported by the prophecy of Joel (Joel 2:32)?
1.25. What support for a salvific application can be derived by Peter (Acts 2:21) and Paul's (Rom 10:13) emphasis on calling on the name of the Lord?
1.26. What type of contrast is being drawn between those who "call" on God and those who "cry out for pain" (Isa 65:14)?
1.27. Does this provision of salvation and destruction further prove the inability for this to be a reference to the "eternal state"?
1.28. Does the salvific application negate any attempt to find fulfillment in Israel's return from exile?
1.29. What is implied behind God promises to answer "before" they call?
1.30. How does this behavior amplify and reinforce the general context of the chapter (Isa 65:1)?

CLAIM offers free help to navigate details and enrollment deadlines
People who are approaching their 65th birthday or might be planning to retire need to make plans ahead of time to enroll in Medicare. The simplest way to enroll in Medicare is to enroll online at www.socialsecurity.gov or to call for free assistance from CLAIM at 1-800-390-3330.
"We will assist you and walk you through that process," said Carol Beahan, executive director of CLAIM, the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) for Missouri. CLAIM will mark its 25th year as Missouri's SHIP later this year.
Individuals who are already receiving Social Security cash benefits will automatically be enrolled for Medicare insurance. Others who are new to Social Security either because they are turning 65 or planning to retire won't automatically receive a Medicare card, Beahan said.
It's also important to know enrollment deadlines and plan ahead. Your initial enrollment period takes place three months before turning 65, the month of the 65th birthday, and three months after.
"Be thinking ahead about this important decision," Beahan said. "You can enroll during that seven-month period with no penalty." The date that benefits begin depends on the enrollment date. If an individual misses that seven-month window, she or he can sign up for Medicare during a general enrollment period that lasts from January through March, although coverage wouldn't begin until July 1.
The individual also has the option of enrolling in Medicare Part A – hospitalization coverage – and delaying Part B coverage if the individual is still working or still has coverage on a spouse's active employer plan. If the individual is still covered by a spouse's employer health insurance plan, she or he will have eight months to enroll in Medicare without penalty after the individual stops working.
Beahan recommended that individuals connect with a CLAIM volunteer for additional details and restrictions about delaying Part B coverage without a penalty. Call for free assistance from CLAIM at 1-800-390-3330.
Part B covers doctors' services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services. Part A also covers care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care. Part D is prescription drug coverage and is available from insurance companies approved by Medicare. People new to Medicare will also want to understand supplemental and Medicare Advantage plans that can help cover the portion of Medicare charges that beneficiaries must pay.
For Part A, the deductible for 2018 is $1,340. The monthly premium for Part B, for most people, is $134 in 2018, along with a deductible of $183, after which Medicare will pay 80 percent of allowed charges.
Beahan said CLAIM staff and volunteers are available to help current and new Medicare beneficiaries understand the various options for coverage, as well as the dates and details for initial, general, and special enrollment periods.
CLAIM is a program of the Missouri Department of Insurance through a grant from the Administration for Community Living. Services are provided by Primaris Foundation. CLAIM is not connected or affiliated with any insurance company and does not sell or recommend any insurance. Claim provides helpful Medicare information. To ask questions or to learn more about Medicare benefits and eligibility and enrollment contact CLAIM at 1-800-390-3330 or visit www.missouriclaim.org. Individuals contacting CLAIM will be contacted by a trained counselor.

A few Sundays ago, a few of us went to the vintage clothing show at Chateau Laurier. Having been to the one in Toronto recently I was anticipating finding more or less of the same. However, to my surprise this show was 10 times the size as the one in Toronto with a much better selection of treasures from the past.
Naively, I wasn't planning on finding anything that I would want to purchase since I had thought I'd seen it all before; three full ballrooms of booths stuffed with purses, furs, clothes, shoes, jewelry and trinkets, there wasn't enough time (or energy) to look at it all.
I've long debated about buying fur. As an animal lover and product of the 20th century, it's been all but drilled into my head about the cruelty of wearing it, but as a fashion lover and collector of classic items, it's also right at the top of the list. After browsing from rack to rack of mink, fox and rabbit I finally gave in to a beautiful and warm-a necessity for the upcoming winter-fur hat and jacket. The best part? A total of $65. Shoppers tip: going later in the day may not leave the best inventory but sellers are more willing to negotiate prices.
I wasn't the only successful one that day; also purchased was a silk scarf, a fur stole, and two beautiful Canadian-made winter coats. While some may find these prices on the high end for items from years ago, what they might forget is the quality that these items possess.
For those of you that missed this show, do not make the mistake again!

The singer releases new album 'Short Movie' on March 23
Laura Marling has shared a new song, entitled 'Strange'.
The track will feature on Marling's upcoming album 'Short Movie', which will be released later this month (March 23). Listen to the stripped-back number below.
Marling also recently announced details of a UK and Ireland headline tour that will take place this April and May in support of the record. See the dates at the bottom of the page.
Marling recently revealed that she was incapable of writing music for six months after moving to LA, adding that at one point she even questioned "whether being a musician was worthwhile".
In a recent issue of NME, which is on newsstands now and available digitally, the singer detailed her lack of inspiration to write, as well as her doubts about her choice of career.
"There was noting I really wanted to do musically, so I couldn't honestly call myself a musician at the time," she said. "I was sort of self-flagellating not telling people that I was a musician. I got a sick pleasure out of doing that."
Marling added that taking a break from writing freed her up to have "vulnerable experiences", including some time spent working to promote environmental and social justice issues. "I think I got a bit worthy about whether being a musician was worthwhile to the planet in any way. Not like in an eco way, but I was just like, 'Who do I think I am that I can just get up every day and play the guitar? That's bullshit, I should be doing something more important.'"
She continued: "But actually, that thought of mine was the most self-important thought I've ever had, and only after being away from music for six months did I come back and think, 'Actually, it's pretty fucking great what I do, and I'm pretty fucking lucky to be doing it.'"
Laura Marling will play the following live dates:
London Queen Elizabeth Hall (April 20-21)
Cambridge Corn Exchange (22)
Manchester Albert Hall (24)
Glasgow O2 Academy (25)
Birmingham Institute (27)
London Queen Elizabeth Hall (29-30)
Southampton O2 Guildhall (May 4)
Bristol Colston Hall (5)
Dublin Olympia (7)
Belfast Waterfront Hall (8)

I grabbed a new book this week. At Home in the World. What an appropriate title.
It begs to reason that building a house would set my mind spinning in a thousand directions. It has made me feel a lot of Big Feelings.
Not the least of which is restless.
Because it wasn't supposed to be this way.
It wasn't going to end up this way when I studied abroad in college. I wasn't going to end up back in a small town in the Texas Panhandle.
It certainly wasn't going to end up this way when I moved back to Italy a few years after college. I declared myself a world citizen and couldn't have imagined myself back on dust blown prairies.
Even as we packed our bags to move back to my husbands hometown, the mirror image of my own hometown across the Canadian River, we looked each other in the eye and reassured each other it was temporary.
So we rented a house and booked tickets to Bali.
We knew for sure then it was only a matter of time. We imagined mission fields in distant lands. We imagined packing up all our things and heading out.
Even as we were sleeping under mosquito nets in Uganda to adopted our boys we were pressing open doors to the mission field.
They were all firmly shut.
Maybe slammed is a better word.
After three months walking the red dirt roads of Uganda we arrived home as a family of seven.
We had set up our whole life ready to run. Mentally my bags were always half packed and attachment always hanging by only a thread. We were still ready to go.
Imagine my surprise when I felt the press of the sky on my heart. The pull of fields on my soul. A walk had simply been a walk every other time I had gone. Something had changed. When I walked now, everything seemed to be brighter, more beautiful.
The problem with limiting attachment is that you never find a place to belong. My heart hadn't ever been in this small town and so this small town had never been in my heart. I'd lived seven disconnected years with my feet planted firmly in the blocks.
I hadn't realized it wasn't a race.
We have never been more sure of a calling on our life than this one: We are to stay.
It didn't stop the wanderlust.
When we first started talking about building a house (and for sure when we started signing papers) I would wake up in the middle of the night and look up plane tickets and family hostels. I would calculate exactly how far around the world the money to build this house would get us.
The bright and beautiful world still pulls at my heart. I hope it always does.
But I know it now, this is home. This place that exists under a sky bigger than any other I've ever seen yet. This town surrounded by fields that stretch out as far as the eye can see.
It has light and life that I had failed to see.
I thought I needed to see the world, and I hope I still get too. But I get to practice seeing here. Because what is a place made of than people, places, and landscape that wait to be seen. I had never even bothered to look.
I about cried when they dug our well. It felt sacred when they poured the concrete. It was roots. The roots I had resisted digging into the ground for so long, and with them hope of flourishing. Flourishing at home. Flourishing in the world.
So as we walk and wonder at tadpoles in a horse tank, listen closely at our feet for the sound of rattles to run from, and sit on the dirt and watch huge thunderstorms blow in, I find myself blown away. Because it wasn't supposed to be this way, but it is. It is home.

In 1992, the College of Public Health established the Preventive Intervention Center (PIC) with the specific goal of conducting health research and clinical trials to ensure future medical treatments are safe and effective. In September 2011, the College of Public Health streamlined operations by absorbing the Lipid Research Clinic (LRC) into PIC. The Lipid Research Cliniic opened in 1973 as an academic resource for the College of Medicine at The University of Iowa and then for the College of Public Health in 1999. LRC specialized in studying the effectiveness of new drugs and intervention modalities to prevent the occurrence and progression of atherosclerotic diseases. Between these two clinics, almost 100,000 volunteers have participated in more than 500 research studies aimed at the treatment and prevention of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, and diabetes. We have tested new, investigational medications, hormone replacement therapy, oral contraceptives, dietary supplements, vaccines, and exercise and nutritional needs.
In addition, PIC has continued to partner with the Nutrition Center (www.uiowanutritioncenter.org) to include behavioral medicine and research highlighted by diet, exercise, and nutrition lifestyle-change programs used by companies and communities across the country.
The Preventive Intervention Center participates in government-sponsored and pharmaceutical company-sponsored research studies. We proudly draw on the multidisciplinary experience and expertise of University of Iowa faculty from the College of Public Health, College of Medicine, College of Dentistry, College of Liberal Arts, College of Pharmacy, Veterans Administration Hospital, and physicians throughout the state of Iowa.
The Center acts as a clearinghouse for clinical trial needs, including the following activities: biostatistics, data management, recruiting, screening and evaluation, follow-up evaluation, compliance and protocol adherence, quality control, administration, epidemiology, and regulatory adherence.

Mastering Flight Operations at a Towered Field
My goal for today's flight was to get to the point where I feel as comfortable flying to and around a towered field as I currently do at an uncontrolled tower. When I first started flying I was flying from Lunken, an airport with a control tower and felt comfortable in that environment. But when I had to move my training to the Blue Ash airport, a smaller uncontrolled field, I fell out of practice for communicating with a tower instead of directly to the traffic around the airport on a common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF).
I listened to the Automatic Terminal Traffic Information Service (ATIS) to get the current conditions at the airport and then contacted the tower to advise them of my intent to do stop and go landings. The tower asked me to contact them on a 2-mile final for runway 21R. As I passed the three mile mark I contacted them to notify them of my position. At which point I was cleared for the stop and go. I made a nice touchdown in crosswind conditions and came to a complete stop before I was a third of the way down the runway. I then powered up and departed using the next third of the runway.
I stayed in the pattern and would communicate with the tower just prior to my base leg to get the appropriate clearances. After four landings I requested to depart to the north which the tower approved.
On the way back to Blue Ash I put on the instrument training hood. My .4 hours of simulated instrument training brought me to a total 3.2 hours, completing that requirement for earning a private pilots license.
My next flight will be on Saturday when I fly my long solo cross country where I will fly over 150nm, planning to land at four airports. I am off to plan that trip.
thanked for this info ..... :-)
I am glad to catch idea from your article. It has information I have been searching for a long time.Posted by: breitling replica at September 21, 2016 2:12 AM | Reply

Another Look at Augusta/
The Atlanta Journal Constitution's Steve Hummer gets a glimpse of the new look Augusta National (easy registration req.).
The evolution of this course mirrors the evolution of the game. The pulsing conflict between course design and the design of club, ball and from-the-heels swing is being played out continually on these grounds.
Amazingly, Hummer cites the same exact Jones quotes that appeared in the breathless Scott Michaux piece that appeared Sunday. (What a coincidence!)
Amazingly, Hummer cites the same exact Jones quotes that appeared in the breathless Scott Michaux piece that appeared Sunday. (What a coincidence!)Note this image accompanying the story by photographer Rob Brown. It shows the trees planted on the par-4 11th. If you ever wonder why some view the tree planting so negatively (besides the obvious departure from the Jones-MacKenzie philosophy), just look at this image.
One of the greatest, most awe inspiring moments for anyone who knows anything about Augusta is the stroll down 11 fairway (or for spectators, 11 rough). Not only do you take in the view of the par-4 green, but also that much anticipated glimpse of the famous par-3 12th (so you can start thinking about it).
The open area between 11, 12 and 13 is unique and adds to their drama. Now the golfer must be down the left side of 11 or wait until after his approach has been hit to take in a full view of the 12th.
The grand, open nature added a large scale feel that only increases the intimidation factor (for some). But finding itself more enclosed, the scale has less impact.

Disability hate incidents involve violence or hostility based on prejudice against someone who is disabled. In a climate of increasing hate-related crimes, it is evident that there are still barriers that prevent individuals from reporting these type of incidents.
In collaboration with Essex Police, PIER is launching a new project to identifying the most effective approach to reporting and improving the quality of support offered to vulnerable people involved.
These will delve into five interrelated research areas of focus:
Project Lead Dr Olivia Smith is an experienced criminology researcher and lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University. Olivia is an expert on court responses to rape and teaches on a range of criminology modules including the modules as Adventures in Criminal Justice, Media & Crime, and Violent Crime.

Scratch Tapas
Tapas joints are popping up everywhere in Orlando lately. It doesn't seem to be a trend that is loosing it's edge any time soon. One of the newest to the mix has popped up on Fairbanks Ave, a block shy of Park Ave. It's in the old Tatame spot, which I was never a personal fan of; so I was very excited to see new construction in this intimate space.
The first thing I said to my friend when we sat down was how I loved the feeling of walking into a restaurant that completely takes me out of Orlando. This could have easily been a gem you find in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood in Philadelphia, a street in Hells Kitchen, or even an upscale spot in the Queen Anne neighborhood in Seattle. The decor is understated city chic without being overly "Manhattan pretentious".
Although they may not label it communal style eating, it definitely uses its small space wisely by creating a long but comfortable bench along the wall with tables and chairs on the other side. All the tables are very close together, so here is hoping you don't have women singing to one another sitting next to you...maybe that just happened to me.
Our server took us through the whole concept along with all the specials. She was extremely knowledgeable about the process that went into each dish as well as the flavor profiles we would experience. She was so well versed I wondered if she may have more stake in this establishment than simply our server for the night. She truly added to my dining experience and it was refreshing to hear information about the food I was about to consume with knowledge and passion.
My friend and I started with a plate of breads and spreads. House-made brioche and ciabatta were our carbs for the evening. We kindly refused the refried beans and asked if we could "double-up" on the other choices. We got a homemade curry blueberry butter along with a local strawberry jam. The breads were fresh and the spreads had great textures and taste. A perfect start.
Our next small plate, was actually a small basket, of hand-cut potatoes fries with fresh oregano & saffron aioli. These were quite possibly the best, hearty, crisp and indulgent fries of my life. The show stopper for me was the saffron aioli. I normally eat my fries with no accompanying sauce, but this aioli was the perfect extra flavor pop.
For my main small plate I got the Pork Belly Adobo; soy-glazed pork belly, calamansi juice, micro cilantro, carrot puree, black rice, and scallions. There was so much going on in this dish and it blended together so beautifully. The pork belly was so tender and flavorful, and the black rice (which I had never had) added a nice texture. This dish was far beyond my culinary prowess. You can just eat cilantro? YES, you CAN! The only problem with this dish was that I was left wanting more. Darn small plates.
I stole this photo from one of my favorite local foodies - follow him on instagram @dafoodie
I suppose it was a blessing in disguise that I was still drooling over the pork belly as she took my plate away, because I had the perfect amount of room in my stomach to fit in dessert. My friend ordered the chocolate pistachio torte while I went for a classic creme brulee.
Not the best capture of our treats but the lighting was against me.
I've had some really good creme brulee in my 31 years, but this was perfection. I almost didn't want to try my friends dessert because I didn't want to take this taste away from my buds for a second. Not only was it rich and creamy but it was very generous in portion. The chocolate torte was amazingly intense. I would probably order it for pick up on a monthly basis...if you know what I mean.
It's places like Scratch that get me really excited about the the food scene in Orlando. Less fast casual, quick serve in-and-out, turn those tables as fast as you can for a mediocre experience. More about fresh ingredients, made by talented passionate people, who want you to have an experience; not simply be a guest count. Scratch offers all of that and more.

A youth offender will serve an adult jail sentence for two armed raids on the Woolston Night and Day store, after a judge sent a public message about the repeated robberies.
Judge Stephen O'Driscoll told 16-year-old Liam Burrowes: "Aggravated robberies are not games. The stakes are high."
He jailed the teen for three years, which will be served in the Youth Wing at Christchurch Men's Prison, and told him: "I hope the sentence I have imposed will not just deter you, but will deter others in the community who may be contemplating this perceived game.
"In appropriate cases, where offenders are caught and brought to court their youth alone will not prevent sentences of imprisonment being imposed."
Aggravated robberies – robberies involving weapons or multiple offenders – carried a maximum 14-year jail term, and had the potential for serious consequences for vulnerable shopkeepers, said the judge.
When Burrowes was interviewed for his pre-sentence report, he told the probation officer he was surprised to find himself being sent to the District Court for sentencing. He had thought that if he was caught he would get the maximum youth justice sentence – supervision with residence.
But Judge O'Driscoll decided the offending was serious enough for an adult sentence to be imposed, particularly considering his record and his recent release from a Youth Court sentence when the first robbery took place on December 3.
The first time, Burrowes went into the store at 4am, with two co-offenders who had hammers. Burrowes carried a sports bag for the loot, and a small axe. Cash, cigarettes, and tobacco products worth $1565 were taken, and the shop assistant was threatened with a weapon. The robbers wore disguises.
Burrowes went back on December 22 at 4.50am, again armed with an axe and wearing gloves, bandanna, and hooded sweatshirt. Cash and tobacco products were again targeted.
The same shop assistant was robbed both times. He has now been robbed four times, and the Woolston Night and Day has been robbed eight or nine times in total.
The shop worker says he is having trouble sleeping and does not feel safe. He has not worked a night shift since Burrowes' last robbery. "He has not told his family about what has occurred because he is concerned his family may want him to leave New Zealand and go back to India," said the judge.
Judge O'Driscoll said he was not sure why that store was targeted so much. It may have been seen as a "soft" target, where the shopkeepers did not resist, or simply an easy way of getting cash and cigarettes.
The judge reviewed other cases where young people had been sentenced for dairy robberies including some at the Woolston shop. They sentences had ranged from Youth Court sentences of supervision with residence – effectively youth prison – to supervision with activity, and one term of two years seven months jail.
But he said Burrowes was young but his offending had not involved typical youth behaviour. There had been multiple offenders, disguises, weapons, and premeditation. In his case there were two robberies.
He said he needed to impose a sentence for personal and general deterrence. Offenders who committed aggravated robberies could not expect that their youth would mean they would get supervision with residence sentences. "This is serious offending."
The automatic name suppression in Youth Court was lifted once Burrowes was transferred to the District Court.

What is Hotel Management?
Certain people don't quite have the highest opinion of hotel management, but we're here to prove them wrong! Hotel management is actually a gateway to a number of successful careers. And worry not, there are plenty to pick and choose from when it comes to a career in hotel management!
But first things first: what is hotel management? As the name suggests, hotel management is essentially the management system that well, manages (for lack of a better word, considering this is quite self-evident and more importantly, highly obvious!), hotel businesses. Surely, a hotel is a business, is it not? And that would clearly require a management system in place to handle it all? That's where hotel management steps into the picture –to ensure the smooth up and running of hotels.
So, a career in hotel management could entail a variety of fields of expertise. This could therefore range from hotel administration, accounts, marketing, maintenance, housekeeping, food and beverage, catering… Ah, the list is just endless, and not to forget –endlessly interesting! For a hotel to function smoothly, without any glitches, hotel management personnel work day in and day out (literally). So, it's high time the general society lets go of all the inhibitions related to hotel management and embrace it as a career worthy of pursing, and more importantly –worth respecting. For without efficient hotel management in place, how would you travel the world, laze in fluffy beds, dine at the best of hotels' restaurants, revel in room service, and delight in those much coveted hotel breakfasts?
Behind every successful hotel is a staff of dedicated employees working behind the scenes. And let me tell you –it's definitely no easy job. And that's why there exist a number of professional educational institutions to equip you with the necessary knowledge and skills.The top 10 hotel management colleges in india are just as competent as ay other field of study –getting into one isn't as easy as you might think! So, that's a little take on hotel management for you –I do hope it's changed nay contrived notions one might have, and that we can all give the field of hotel management its due credit and respect.

New Delhi: A Bar Council of India delegation led by its chairman Manan Kumar Mishra met Supreme Court judges on Sunday to discuss the unprecedented crisis that has hit the judiciary.
The BCI had on Saturday formed a seven-member delegation to meet and discuss with the apex court judges issues arising out of the press conference by four senior-most judges of the top court.
On January 12, 2018, Justices J Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi, MB Lokur and Kurian Joseph had mounted a virtual revolt against Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra at a press meet in Delhi on Friday raising a litany of problems including assignment of cases.
Meanwhile, two top court judges - Justices SA Bobde and L Nageswara Rao - on Sunday met Justice Chelameswar, who had led the four judges in the unprecedented press conference at his official residence, PTI quoted sources as saying.
The meeting of these judges took place soon after the BCI delegation met Justice Chelameswar at his residence.
Besides Mishra, the delegation comprises BCI co-chairman S Prabakaran and other members - Vijay Bhatt, Apurba Kumar Sharma, Pratap C Mehta, Rameshchandra G Shah and TS Ajith. BCI's vice-chairman Satish A Deshmukh is a special invitee of the delegation.
On Saturday, the BCI had termed the press conference by the judges as an "unfortunate step" and had added, "From the letter of the judges, it appears that there were certain differences between the chief justice of India and these judges on the issues relating to roster and the listing of some cases."
It had also cautioned political parties and politicians "not to criticise the judiciary and/or to make it an issue because it would weaken the independence of our judiciary which is the protector of our democracy".
At the same time, the council had expressed the hope that judges of the top court would realise the "seriousness of the issue and in future, they may avoid any such situation of which the politicians or the political parties could take undue advantage and/or which could cause harm to our judiciary."
The four judges of the apex court had on Friday raised questions on 'selective' case allocation and certain judicial orders. Justice Chelameswar, the second senior judge after the CJI, himself had described as an "extraordinary event" in the annals of the Indian judiciary when the judges addressed a joint news conference during which he had said "sometimes administration of the Supreme Court is not in order and many things which are less than desirable have happened in the last few months."
The judge had accused Justice Misra of not taking any "remedial measures" on some of the issues which affected the functioning of the apex court that they had raised. Justice Misra became the CJI on August 28, 2017, and he is due to retire from on October 2, 2018.
Unless this institution is preserved, "democracy will not survive" in this country, Justice Chelameswar had said.
He had also said that all the four judges had "failed to persuade CJI that certain things are not in order and therefore you should take remedial measures. Unfortunately, our efforts failed."
Asked what these issues were, he had said they included the "allocation of cases by CJI" and had added, "we owe a responsibility to the institution and the nation. Our efforts have failed in convincing CJI to take steps to protect the institution."
Asked whether they wanted the Chief Justice to be impeached, he had said, "let the nation decide."

EARTH: The Miracle Of Prayer by Francine Rivers
Reflections on How God Speaks Through Nature
From: Earth Psalms
Let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God.
There we will receive his mercy,
and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
(Hebrews 4:16)
Rich used to take customers, friends, and family members salmon fishing in Alaska and British Columbia. Before heading out in a small boat, he and his companion always checked the gear, such as nets, gaff, compass, and map.
His most memorable trip was with our eldest son, Trevor. They were so excited one morning that they jumped right in the boat and headed out. They fished, mostly catch-and-release, and cruised in and out of dozens of small inlets and bays. When they were ready to head back toward the lodge where they were staying, a dense fog bank fell upon them. It was so thick that Rick could barely see our son at the other end of the boat. He wasn't worried and reached for the compass. But for the first time in five trips north, Rick had forgotten to check for equipment. The compass and map were not in the boat.
If he put in toward shore without knowing exactly where he was, they could end up on the rocks. If he put out into the channel, he could place them in a shipping lane. Think cruise ship going over a dinghy. Rick put on a brave face and said, "Don't worry, son. I can dead reckon back to the lodge."
After several hours of going in circles, they were filled with dread. Rick later said, "I faced the possibility that my stupidity in not checking for the compass and map might very well result in the death of my son, not to mention his dim-witted daddy." It occurred to him in that moment that he should turn the navigation over to God. So he prayed: "Father, I don't care what you do with me – this mess is my fault. But please spare my son, who trusted me to get him out and back safely!"
In that moment, God parted a curtain. The fog split fifty feet away in bright sunshine, right at the small opening of the lodge's inlet. God had guided them home.
God's Word is clear when it directs us to pray – at all times, in all circumstances. In Hebrews 4 we're instructed to "come boldly" to God's throne. We can approach our majestic God with confidence because he has promised to respond with mercy and grace. What a blessing! Our Heavenly Father is always listening, and he always cares. If you're ever lost in the fog or "in a fog," pray. You might just experience a miracle.
None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience.
(Martin Luther)
Why do you think God encourages us to approach him boldly? Do you find this easy or difficult? How can you make prayer a more immediate reaction when you're faced with challenging situations?
Make a list of the times in your life when God answered your prayer – whether in a dramatic fashion, as in Rick's story, or in a quieter, more private way. Take a moment to thank him. Return to this list next time you need help. It will be a good reminder of God's continuing, loving care.
Lord God, you are so great, and yet you ask us to come to you with our needs and requests. Thank you for caring for me. Please help me to be persistent in prayer, even in those times when I don't see answers right away. Help me to remember all the times when you have helped me in the past and to trust in your love and goodness for the future.

By Javier Marías
Translated by Margaret Jull Costa
444 pp. Alfred A. Knopf. $27.95.
The most common form of companionship in the world is the bad marriage. One such union forms the center of Javier Marías's powerful — and powerfully clunky — new literary mystery, or thriller, or whatever it is one calls a book with a plot these days.
Marías, considered the leading Spanish novelist of his generation, is no stranger to plot: In books like "The Infatuations" and "A Heart So White" he spawns suspenseful tangents as plentiful and tangled as spaghetti. His Paris Review interviewer, a decade ago, described him as chain-smoking "guiltlessly, often ambidextrously," and something similar can be said about his prose, which is unencumbered, chatty and roiling in a steady baritone even when it deals with repressed memories.
"Thus Bad Begins" is one of Marías's most straightforward books. A young man, Juan, 23 — naïve, handsome, curious, earnest: clearly the future novelist who will narrate this novel — begins working as a personal assistant to a philosophical and exacting director of B-grade Spanish movies. The director, Eduardo Muriel, while not chasing "exotic sources of funding" in immediately-post-Franco Spain or courting American actors like Jack Palance, becomes fixated on a mystery: Are the rumors surrounding his dashing blond friend, Dr. Jorge Van Vechten, true? Did Van Vechten really commit a crime under Franco so heinous it can't be discussed in polite company? Without revealing anything further to anyone — this is a mystery, after all! — he sets his young Cato on Van Vechten's tail. But Juan, who often spends nights working at Eduardo's house, is curious about something else altogether: Eduardo's verbal abuse of his long-suffering wife, Beatriz.
On the subject of marriage — and especially bad marriage — Marías is often profound. Commenting on Eduardo's habit of telling Beatriz that "I hope to be the one to bury you" (and his use of such pet names for her as "pachyderm" and "a bag of flour"), Juan notes:
"I was already aware that the cruelest of individuals depend a great deal on the puzzlement of others, trusting that their assaults will seem so disproportionate that other people, rather than judging the assailant severely and trying to placate him or get him to stop, will merely shrug and wonder what terrible crime the object of his cruelty could have committed, and conclude, even though they have no idea if they're right or wrong, that 'it must have been something really bad, otherwise how explain such venom; whatever it is must justify such extreme behavior.' "
This is a superb thought, rambling but precise and subtly resonant with the crimes committed by the Fascists during and after the civil war. Elsewhere, Marías describes a spouse as "simply what's there — the envelope, the setting, the day's normal gray pallor." His depiction of Beatriz, who yearns for the good life "she had for quite a number of years and with the same man" before the abuse started, is devastating.
It is in Marías's portrayal of two completely different ways of being in the world — Eduardo's vengeful and intellectual stance, as compared with Beatriz's self-abnegating stoicism — that we see what a novelist can do best: relish opposing viewpoints and play them off against each other. The set pieces with these two characters have the tones of grand music. I could have read 500 pages about Eduardo and Beatriz sparring in a room.
Unfortunately, Marías squanders most of his firepower by circling the mystery of Van Vechten's crime and shaking it down for meaning: how it ties, say, to Spanish national guilt, the sexual revolution after Franco's death when "almost no one slept in Madrid," the era before divorce was legalized and what it means to punish a friend. Sound interesting? It's actually extremely tedious, yielding observations of this caliber: "What point is there in trying to stop, avoid, watch, punish and even know all this; history is too full of minor abuses and major villainies against which nothing can be done because there is such an avalanche of them, and what do we gain by finding out about them?" Or: "The dead stop telling their stories once they are just that, dead." And: "Nothing is new under the sun; . . . everything is doomed to become confused and mingled and homogenized, to be forgotten and left to float on a repetitive magma of which, nevertheless, no one tires, or is it just that none of us has ever found the path that will lead us out?"
Marías has a problem, which critics have seemed too reticent to discuss: that of lapsing into universal-sounding banalities, almost as a tic. These banalities are pit stops where his storming, improvised sentences can regather and refuel; and this becomes painfully obvious when the story is banal, when the story itself is a digression from the heart of the matter. You can't digress banally in a digression! I wanted to scrawl at various points. It doesn't help that the characters are physically cartoonish. Van Vechten, after sex, looks "as though he were balancing a baguette on his head rather than hair"; in another scene his eyes almost pop "out of their sockets." Even Eduardo, who wears a rakish eye patch, is likened to "a high priest or a Dracula or a Fu Manchu." This is not the fault of Margaret Jull Costa's resolute translation, since Dracula is Dracula in any language. And Van Vechten's crime, when it is revealed, is exactly what we'd expect from a clubby, insidery, lecherous man — a letdown. I felt for much of the novel that I was trapped in an old boys' club stinking of leather and cigars: too much ambidextrous smoking.
Juan, the narrator, spies, overhears, investigates and ties it all together. He is meant to be sympathetic and reflective, but unfortunately Marías involves him in a hoary subplot involving affairs, a suicide attempt and a dead baby. Melodrama can be an advantage for the modern novelist — we live in such tame fictional times! — but it doesn't always meld well with Marías's bloviating prose and Shakespearean soliloquies. This was another reason I longed for Beatriz, the mysterious woman at the center of this novel of men.
And it is when Marías gets to the true source of Beatriz's pain — and Eduardo's hatred — that the novel, dormant for 400 pages, suddenly explodes. I read the final pages in full thrall of Marías's novelistic power, every observation and overreaching universalizing thought falling into place as Eduardo reveals the underpinning of all that has come before, the falseness of how we have read this marriage. There is a betrayal at the heart of this novel that is as simple as it is heartbreaking — neither a straightforward affair, nor an act of aggression: just an instance of love and pity gone haywire. It made my hackles rise: the sense of how easily lives can get dislocated into a permanent sense of despair.
I was reminded too that Marías is a master of a kind of suspense that is rare in the modern novel. He saves the best for the last. The question is whether you can get through the bad marriage first.

I thought Huston's first arc, "The Bottom," was brutal. "Midnight Sun" takes it further.
- It's one thing to see Marc broken and physically at his worst, but he's a pretty terrible person in this arc.
- Its main plot involves a series of brutal murders with elaborately staged crime scenes involving clock faces and posed bodies.
- Also, Steve and Tony are bickering again, but no one wants Moon Knight on their kickball team.
- That's okay, because Moon Knight doesn't want to be on anybody's kickball team…until he learns neither wants him; then he definitely wants to be on their kickball teams.
- This version of Moon Knight makes the Punisher look collected and well-adjusted by comparison.
- This arc has some gross, gruesome art; it's hard to look at…but in a way that requires serious talent.
I like Moon Knight a lot, generally. There's no lack of quality or talent behind "Midnight Sun," but it was a tough read for me. It leans heavily into Marc's immaturity and toxicity toward those close to him, and it makes him hard to like. But that's the point, I think.
