Servant at Work (Isaiah 40ff.)
Where righteousness in Isaiah 1-39 (often associated with justice, mishpat) is a term used to reveal Judah's shortcomings and infidelity, righteousness in Isaiah 40-55 is understood primarily as a gift from God that he accomplishes on behalf of his people.[1] Isaiah himself serves as the prime example of the servant of God who brings this gift of God.
Justice or judgment is established in Isaiah 40-55 by the enigmatic "servant" embedded within this portion of Isaiah's witness. Isaiah 42:1-4, the first of the so-called "servant songs," speaks of the servant as one who establishes justice in the earth. Here, in the figure of the servant, God answers Judah's cry for justice in Is. 40:27: "My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right (mishpat) is disregarded by my God." God's own divine initiative is now enacted to accomplish for his people what they could not accomplish for themselves. The means by which God will accomplish salvation both for Israel and for the nations is in this developing figure of God's servant. Righteousness and justice are accomplished by the servant.
The servant's narrative identity develops within these chapters from Israel per se in chapters 40-48 to an individual figure who takes on his own shoulders Israel's missional identity for both herself and for the nations in chapters 49-53. The reason for this shift from national Israel to a figure who is Israel incarnate (or an idealized Israel) is Israel's failure to fulfill her mission because of her sin.[2] What one observes in this servant figure is the unique means by which God communicates his gracious presence and restorative intentions to his wayward people. It is by the figure of the servant that righteousness (now understood as covenant fidelity to his people) is offered to them as a gift on the basis of God's own freedom and sovereign commitment to his promises. Righteousness is something to be received rather than attained.[3]
The two portraits of righteousness presented in Isaiah 1-39 and 40-55 are pursued to give us a nuanced understanding of righteousness in Isaiah 56-66. It is in this portion of Isaiah that some of the clearer portraits of a theology of work are offered. The righteousness offered as a gift in Isaiah 40-55 is now an obligation to be performed in chapters 56-66: "Thus says the Lord: 'Maintain justice, and do what is right, for my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed'" (Is. 56:1).
The appeal to maintain justice and do righteousness in Isaiah 56-66 is a realized possibility now for the people of God because of God's prior gracious claim on them in the figure of the servant. The language of Is. 56:1 is linked to Is. 51:4-8 in which again Judah is called to pursue justice and righteousness. In this passage, the created possibility for the people of God to do righteousness is found in the last clauses of Is. 51:6, 8: God's righteousness and God's salvation will not fail but will last forever. As chapters 40-55 move in their literary shape, we see God's righteousness and salvation enacted in the person of the servant (chapter 53) who suffers on behalf of and in the place of others. The appeals to "doing righteousness" in chapters 56-66 are made possible because of God's prior dealings with Israel's infidelity in the gracious and substitutionary action of the servant. In theological language, God's grace precedes law, as demonstrated by God's gracious initiative to redeem his people at all costs. This is the only means by which talk of human responsibility or righteous actions can occur. It is in the security of the forgiveness of God found in Jesus Christ that the impetus for good works materializes.[4]
The Importance of Parenting and the Work of Restoration
The prophet turns the argument from the negative to the positive by presenting "the fast that I [God] choose" (Is. 58:6). This fast includes: Loosing the chains of injustice, setting the oppressed free, sharing food with the hungry, providing the poor wanderer with shelter, clothing the naked, caring for one's family (Is. 58:6-7).[5] The result is that we participate in God's work of restoration, as described in Isaiah, "Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in." (Is. 58:12) Isaiah paints a picture of the values that must characterize the people of God, in stark contrast to those of most surrounding cultures. External religion or religious performance that can co-mingle with a work ethic characterized by a lack of concern for one's laborers (where laborers or employees or subordinates are mere instruments for personal or business development), or by a leadership style that is given to strife, quarreling, backbiting, shortened fuses and uncontrolled anger — these breach our loyalty to God. A claim is made on the people of God because of the prior forgiveness of our sins in the person and work of Jesus Christ. The promise following on the heels of the invective in chapters 58 is the breaking forth of all of God's promises in the midst of God's people: "Your light will break forth…. your vindicator will go before you…. the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard" (Is. 58:8-9; cf. Is. 52:12).
As we trace the development of "the Servant" from national Israel to an idealized Israel, then to the Servant of the Lord in chapters 52-53, then to the servants of that Servant, we pause to reflect on the workplace implications of the model of servanthood we see in Jesus Christ. Isaiah carefully constructs his description of the servant to make it clear that he is a reflection of God himself.[6] Therefore, Christians have traditionally equated the Servant with Jesus. Isaiah's picture of the Servant's suffering in chapters 52-53 reminds us that as servants of God, we may be called to self-sacrifice in our work, as Jesus was.
So marred was his appearance, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of mortals….He was despised and rejected by others; a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity; and as one from whom others hide their faces he was despised, and we held him of no account….But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed….Yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent. (Is. 52:14, 53:3, 53:5, 53:7).
An adequate vision of God will motivate us to make God's standard our standard, so that we do not allow self-interest and self-aggrandizement to pervert our work.
Jesus, in his death and resurrection, met a need we could not meet. God's standard calls us to meet the needs of justice and righteousness through our work: "Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands at a distance; for truth stumbles in the public square, and uprightness cannot enter. Truth is lacking, and whoever turns from evil is despoiled. The Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no one, and was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm brought him victory, and his righteousness upheld him" (Is. 59:14-16). As servants of the Servant of the Lord, we are called to meet unmet needs. In the workplace, this may have many faces: concern for a downtrodden employee or co-worker, alertness to the integrity of a product being sold to consumers, eschewing process shortcuts that would deprive people of their input, even rejecting hoarding in times of scarcity. As Paul wrote to the Galatians, "Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2).
As servants of the Servant of the Lord, we may not receive the acclaim we desire. Rewards may be deferred. But we know that God is our Judge. Isaiah put it this way: "For thus says the high and lofty one who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with those who are contrite and humble in spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite" (Is. 57:15).
For a fuller treatment of this issue as it relates to the final form of the book as a whole, see John N. Oswalt, "Righteousness in Isaiah: A Study of the Function of Chapters 56-66 in the Present Structure of the Book," in Writing and Reading the Scroll of Isaiah: Studies in an Interpretive Tradition, ed. C.C. Broyles and C. A. Evans (Leiden: Brill, 1997), 177-91.
On the development of the servant in the literary presentation of Isaiah 40-55, see Christopher R. Seitz, "'You Are My Servant, You Are the Israel in Whom I Will Be Glorified': The Servant Songs and the Effect of Literary Context in Isaiah," Calvin Theological Journal 39 (2004): 117-34.
It was Gerhard von Rad who highlighted Isaiah 40-55's synonymous association of righteousness [tsadeqah] and salvation [yeshua]. Gerhard von Rad, Old Testament Theology, Volume 1, trans. D.M.G. Stalker (San Francisco: HarperSanFrancisco, 1962), 372.
Commenting on "righteousness" in Is. 56-66, Oswalt states, "In short, there is a whole new motivation for doing righteousness. It is not now so much the fear of impending doom which compels righteousness, as it is the recognition that God is going to mercifully and righteously keep his covenant promises. We should be righteous, the writer says, because of the righteousness of God." Oswalt, "Righteousness in Isaiah," 188.
Even if such a list has to do initially with the particular problems associated with the release from exilic bondage, the figural extension of these problems into other spheres of human conduct is not only legitimate, but necessary. See Christopher R. Seitz, "The Book of Isaiah 40-66: Introduction, Commentary, and Reflections," in The New Interpreter's Bible VI (Nashville: Abingdon Press, 2001), 499.

Everything Is About To Change - By Doug Griffiths, Community Builder
In the near future, our communities will change radically. They won't be designed and built around the same cornerstones – retail downtown, a school, a clinic, a post-office and transportation services. I know what you are going to say: It isn't going to happen that fast. But remember, it only took us 10 years to go from those cellular flip-phones that stored 10 numbers, to our modern super-smart phones, which are more like minicomputers that respond to voice commands. It only took us 67 years to get from the Wright Brothers first flight to landing on the moon. Technology development and adoption doesn't slow down. It grows exponentially. It will continue to come at us faster than we expect.
Doug Griffiths, former Minister of Municipal Affairs and founder of 13 Ways - a consultancy that helps communities overcome modern challenges and succeed - has tailored this impactful talk to address the specific challenges and opportunities facing rural and urban communities across Southern Alberta. Drawing from his accumulated experience of working with hundreds of communities over the span of his career, Doug is sure to leave you with a lot to think about as you work to plan the future of your own community.

As cars whiz by before us and with the roar of the Pacific Ocean at our backs, one of the most powerful men in Taiwan's aboriginal Puyuma tribe is being scolded.
I do not understand the language but the gist is clear. He, the stupid man, clucks a remonstrating woman as she gesticulates at his head, has left back home the most critical item for the ceremony.
I look around. Everyone - young, old, men, women - is wearing a beautiful crown of colourful flowers on his or her head.
The man, a former headsman of the Kasavakan village - childhood home of Taiwan pop star A-mei - shrugs sheepishly as he shepherds me across the road to where a raucous outdoor feast of chicken, beer and local rice liqueur is starting.
It is tomb-sweeping day to remember the ancestors who first landed on Taiwan "a few thousand years ago", way before the Han Chinese did, says headman Haku Dumaradas, 73.
And the idea behind the flower crown is a simple one: In paying respects to one's forefathers, one must look one's best. And what better way than to display nature's gifts on one's head?
Indeed, the entire county of Taitung is not shy about flaunting its string of natural gems - ocean, mountains, beaches, lakes and parks.
Located on Taiwan's south-eastern coast and a five-hour train ride from Taipei, Taitung is known as Taiwan's "back garden".
The county is among the farthest from the busy cities in the north and is on the side of the island that faces the blank blue expense of the Pacific Ocean, as opposed to the bustling west coast near mainland China where immigrants land.
Left relatively alone, the 3,515 sq km county is less developed than other parts of Taiwan and is sparsely populated.
Buildings are rickety but charmingly painted the cobalt blue of chemistry experiments, while a public bus lackadaisically trundles along every hour or so. Visitors drive or cycle along the coast on bicycles with the Taiwanese flag fluttering behind.
There is no factory, industrial park or skyscraper in this part of Taiwan. Instead, pebbled beaches stretch on endlessly, set against mountains. The aboriginal people, who comprise one-third of the local 230,000-strong population, carry on with their traditions, from old trades such as fishing and farming to a matrilineal lineage system where husbands take their wives' names and daughters inherit the family property.
At the Pisilian village of the Amis tribe where we stayed one night, Mr Fosay Sapiat, 57, is washing corals - "doing as told" by his wife Amoy Sapiat, 57, the village's administrator.
He laughs as he says: "We, men, don't have any property. The women take care of things while the men run about."
Asked for his original last name, he turns to his wife. Ms Sapiat furrows her brows. She does not remember either.
Still, change is on the way. Some younger women take their husbands' names now due to the influence of the Han Chinese, says Ms Sapiat.
Following some lawsuits, property by and large is fairly divided among all offspring. The villages have been shrinking as young people seek job opportunities outside the county, in cities such as Kaohsiung or Taipei.
Tribe leader Lai Yai, 67, frets about how the number of households under his charge has dwindled from its peak of 1,000 plus to 400 today. Half the population is either old people or children. This is why he favours building more factories or hotels to "bring back our young".

"Hi! Ooohhh are you in trouble. Didn't anyone ever tell you to never ask a woman to tell you about herself? Hours later, she's still talking and you're trying hard to stay attentive when all you really want is a little peace and quiet! However, you ask so here goes.
This time around I'm also a widow–I think. Not absolutely positive, but that's the rumor. Doesn't really matter, though. 30 years gone qualifies. If you looked at my FaceBook profile, you know my reading and music interests, so I won't bore you with repetition. What the profile doesn't tell you is my age, so let's get that out of the way now. I am 80 yrs (May) with a long lifeline.
I favor exploring interesting locales, museums, zoos, theatre, the ocean, cats, and parrots. I hate housework, love being retired, seriously dislike how fast time disappears, seldom indulge, and smoke–outside. That could, I suppose, offset the long life my ancestors passed down through the ages!
I have a daughter, a granddaughter, and a great grandson which is pretty awesome. I think of myself as a writer and perhaps will one day call myself a science fiction author. In the meantime, I'll do my research, write my stories, and enjoy the satisfaction derived.
Life is good."

This afternoon, Glyn and I drove to the Tiger Trail. According to George Angher and Dodge & Lorna Engleman's book, WHERE TO FIND BIRDS IN PANAMA, the Tiger Trail is a good place for Scaly-throated and Tawny-throated Leaftossers and Streak-chested Antpittas. I don't have any of those birds and would love to see any one of them.
I say, Tiger Trail, but I don't think I've really ever found the trail referred to in the book. I think I have simply been on a truck trail. The Tiger Trail may start farther down the truck trail than I've gone. It has always been too muddy for me to go to the end. Anyway, for my blog, I will refer to the area in general as the Tiger Trail.
I got a brief glimpse of a bird with a scaly throat and thought I had a Scaly-throated Leaftosser, but, I couldn't list it due to the poor view. It looked brown overall, but I didn't see the face and crown, just the throat and part of the chest. I'm pretty sure it was a Leaftosser, but maybe it was a Scaly-throated Antwren. It was feeding with White-flanked Antwrens.
It wasn't the liveliest birding day, but we managed to see a few good birds near the end of the day.
Some terrible shots of a Blue-crowned Motmot. The forest was dark and it was tough getting decent shots.
Scarlett-rumped Cacique
I would really love to see a Long-tailed Woodcreeper before we leave Panama, and that has been my target bird since we got back, but, I was still happy to see this Barred Woodcreeper. I am really going to miss these guys. It wasn't long ago that I just looked at them and tried to get a shot, but didn't even try to ID them because they were too fast and similar; now I can differentiate if I get a good view.
Obviously, the snappy displays given by the male Golden-collared Manakin require big energy.
I went birding twice today; once in the morning and then again in the afternoon to the Tiger Trail. On my early walk, I saw a Boat-billed Flycatcher eat a flower, which kind of surprised me. He just swallowed it whole. One of these:

Brazilian doctor Sergio Cortes has been discussing the Zika virus after the recent outbreak in his home country in Brazil. Writing on his official website Dr. Cortes describes how Zika is transmitted and how to protect yourself from contracting it.
How Does One Get The Zika Virus?
A person gets the Zika virus when he or she is bitten my a mosquito that is a carrier of the Zika virus. The mosquito species Aedes aegypti is the only known species of mosquito that carries the Zika virus. This species of mosquito is also responsible for transmitting other tropical illnesses such as dengue fever as well as chikungunya.
Dr. Sergio Cortes stresses the fact that Zika is not contagious. This means that you cannot contract the virus from another human being who has become infected with the Zika virus.
If a mosquito that is not a carrier of the virus sucks the blood of an individual who has the Zika virus, than that mosquito now becomes a carrier of the virus and can spread it to other people. This is why Zika outbreaks, once they occur are very difficult to control. This chain reaction of infection describes Dr. Sergio Cortes is very difficult to control.
How Can I Protect Myself Against Getting The Zika Virus?
The Aedes aegypti is the only known mosquito that transmits the Zika virus. This mosquito prefers to lay its eggs in clean water. It can lays its eggs in virtually any standing water describes Sergio Cortes. Whether there is standing water in a kettle, bottle, pothole, dogbowl, tire or puddle, the Aedes aegypti mosquito can and will lay its eggs there. Pans, buckets are other items that can have standing water and should be drained and put away in a dry location. The best way to prevent getting the Zika virus is to eliminate any standing water you may have in and around your home. These mosquitoes are extremely resilient and will try to reproduce in any water source available to them. This is why it is so important to eliminate any standing water sources.
If there is standing water in a neighborhood yard or abandoned lot, Dr. Cortes says to get in contact with the Municipal Health Department, who will address the issue. Other ways of preventing the Zika virus include installing protective mosquito proof screens on windows. If you live in an area with a lot of mosquitoes putting mosquito nets around a bed is also a good idea. Mosquitoes and other biting insects love to be active at night.

If you read this blog very often at all you'll probably have noticed a bit of a theme with me, and that is that I am really awful at life...but not half bad at picking out the lessons from my shortcomings. Those failings and lessons are plenty, I only tell you about a tiny sliver of them. I am constantly goofing up, and God is constantly teaching me... sometimes the same lesson over and over again, because I can be dense!
I'm really good at whining to God about what I don't have, and what's wrong and yada yada yada, but I'm not super awesome at telling Him thank you for as many things as I should. I'm not very good at counting-or even seeing my blessings many times. I'm especially not very good at it when I most need to be, when I'm upset or mad. Those are the times when we most need to remember all the amazing blessings we have, and not just focus on all the things we're lacking.
A few months ago I was praying about this problem of forgetting my blessings I have; "Lord, write them on my heart, help me to not forget all of the wonderful blessings I have, through You, remind me of them when I am most in need of remembering them..." After I finished praying I looked up to see my little gray prayer journal perched on the edge of the couch, I had a great big "duh" moment when I saw it there. It's a simple little sketch book that I use as a journal, it's this one.
^ That's mine, it has seen better days, lol. I usually carry it in my purse with me wherever I go, because I never know when I'll need to remember to pray for someone, or when someone's going to teach me about Lectio Divina in a coffee shop ;) As you can see it's stuffed full of things, on the outside I keep a pen, for when the need to write a prayer strikes, and a small bracelet rosary, in case I don't have one with me, on the outside, and it has a convenient little pocket inside the front cover made just for prayer cards, novenas, post it notes, a small devotional book...and, the thing that made me do a *facepalm* a long list of all the people and things I need to remember to pray about. Obviously this is a constantly evolving list, as prayers get answered, and things come up, people come into my life, etc. I keep a list right there in the front cover so any time I need to I can jot down a need, so I won't forget, usually just a word or two. Throughout my journal I write more lengthy prayers about specific things, of course, but I keep that very simple little list tucked right there, front and center, so I'll always be able to go back and pray for all of those needs.
That's where I was like "Amanda, you are so dense! You have a list of things to pray about, why not a list of things to be thankful for?" Well, self, that would make too much sense! So that's just what I did. I began writing things I was thankful for as they occurred to me, and thanking God for those things no matter how big or small.
I have always thanked Him for the big things, like waking me up in the morning, Tom, having a job, food, etc. and when big awesome things happen, like an unexpected check in the mail, or a bonus, or something like that, but I tend to forget the small things that really make my life wonderful: sunshine, grass, flowers, rabbits, people who love me, not having a war in my backyard, sweet tea, coconut oil, you know the little things I take for granted. Now, I'm not saying that I pray a prayer of thanks every day for coconut oil (though it is an amazing gift). I am saying that I have it written on a list in my journal so that when I'm all; "Oh, my life sucks, I don't have anything I want, why me, why do You hate me, blah blah blah, whine, whine, whine..." I can pick up the list and go; "Right, sorry, God, here are ten things I can't thank You enough for, my life is truly great, and would be sorely lacking without...."
It's good that we have a Father that's willing to listen to us and love us...but, it's also good to remember to thank Him, and to keep ourselves in check sometimes. I need to check myself a lot, because I get in that "me, me, me" mindset, and I have found it really helpful to stop, think and just say, "Thank You"
I think we could all remember to count our blessings a little more often, they are truly overflowing when you stop to think about them! I have found it so helpful to have it right there in front of me on the days when I can only count them to three =)

|There are mainly two kinds of oil expellers - full press expellers and pre press expellers. While the full press expellers are utilized by little and intermediate oil mills, the pre press expellers are used by large oil extraction companies.
There are numerous benefits of using these sophisticated expeller machines such as optimum oil yield at reduced operating cost, reduced power utilization, and proficiency to trample all kinds of edible and non edible oil seeds.

In his book A Generation of Sociopaths, Bruce Gibney blames Baby Boomers for pretty much everything that's gone wrong in America. But there are other factors, such as democracy, that are perhaps more to blame.

THE DEAL: Formed 32 years ago, Social Distortion releases its seventh studio effort.
THE GOOD: Though the only original member still in the band is Mike Ness, that's about all you need when you've got talent like his. He's not breaking new ground, but continuing on the solid greaser rock path that he established a few decades ago, yet showing a bit more maturity in the process. It's hard to live up to the power of the band's 1990 self-titled album, but Ness tries his best while showcasing a slightly different side of the band. The album kicks off with the band's first-ever instrumental "Road Zombie." "California" has a Black Crowes, classic rock feel to it. Instead of the punk edge, there's a bit more of a blues feel to the new album. Not afraid of tackling a cover song, the band tries its hand at Hank Williams' "Alone and Forsaken" with solid results. "Diamond in the Rough" almost reaches gospel proportions for the chorus. If you're looking for the Social D of old, look no further than "Machine Gun Blues."
THE BAD: Only that the band doesn't visit Charlotte more often. The last time around, a packed house at Amos' Southend showed them plenty of love.
THE VERDICT: The band seems more like a harder-edged Mike Ness solo album than a straightforward Social D album, but that's not to say it's not a great listen. After all, it's Ness that's the driving force in both.

HHI Unveils Last Umm Shaif Platform Offshore UAE
Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has launched the last offshore oil production platform for Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Co.'s Umm Shaif Project.
The completed platform is part of a $1.6 billion order for three fixed platforms and subsea pipelines for the largest offshore oil production facility in the United Arab Emirates.
The first project awarded to a foreign company by the UAE, the Umm Shaif project will be completed in phases by HHI on a turnkey basis, which ranges from engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning work.
Weighing 7,041 metric tons and measuring 40m in width, 36m in length and 32m in height, the platform will be delivered to the Umm Shaif oil field offshore the United Arab Emirates. The offshore platforms will then be installed by June 2010 to produce 300,000 barrels of oil and 1 billion ft3 of natural gas a day, the latter of which will be supplied to Das Island via subsea pipeline.
An HHI spokesman commented, "HHI has the credit of high technology as it successfully performed the biggest offshore project when we won the order.
"It is meaningful that we have established a bridgehead for future large projects in the Middle East," he added.

Sunday Salon - Some favourite books of the last decade
I've been keeping a list of books read since 2000. I think somewhere I have an older list, but my Reader's Journal that my best friend then gave me, is the one continuously in use since Nov 2000. I thought it would be a fun idea to go back in time, and see what my favourite reads have been over the past 9 years.
Note: in 2000, I moved to England. I can't find my list of books read before July 2000, so the list only starts after I arrived in York. I also forgot to put any stars beside the books, so the criteria I've used for judging a book is: do I find myself occasionally thinking about it? Can I recall what the book is about? Then, of course, is whether I liked the book or not.
2000: Plague Tales - Ann Benson. I still think over this novel. It is a fascinating story about what would happen if a plague victim were unburied today, and the plague was released.
Lincoln's Dreams - Connie Willis - one of her earliest books, which combines dreams, Civil war history, love and heart-break. Sherman's horse makes a memorable appearance here.
2001: Making Tea for Kingsley Amis - Wendy Cope. When I read this book of poetry, I laughed out loud. She is funny, wry, and shows that poetry doesn't have to be mysterious; it describes the human condition, even when it's about the silliness of modern life, and the roles of men and women. The entire eponymous poem is about a dream she has, making tea for Kingley Amis, and that's it! Observations of life. This one goes with me everywhere too.
Dreaming of the Bones - Deborah Crombie. I loved the mystery of the poet at the heart of this story and how Duncan's ex-wife is involved, and how it explores love and the desire to be free.
Death in the Woods - Brigitte Aubert. I give this one to everyone! It's a French translated mystery, very eerie because the narrator is handicapped. A very good mystery, about children disappearing and being found later dead, and the character's race - despite her handicap - to save one little girl from 'Death from the Woods'.
On Writing - Stephen King. One of my favourite writing books, one that goes with me everywhere. He gave me the image that follows me now when I write: writing is digging down into the earth, freeing the bones.
2002: Year of Wonders - Geraldine Brooks. Oh, how I love this book! I've given it to so many people to read! One of the best ones that illustrates life during the plague, women and herbcraft and how one small town closed itself off in the hopes of surviving the plague.
The Falls - Ian Rankin. One of his very best, starring John Rebus. The dolls that are found throughout the novel are haunting reminders of frailty of the mind, and weave a sense of menace and unease. Simply one of the best mysteries he's written, close to Black and Blue, which is the best of the John Rebus mysteries.
The Bone Doll's Twin - Lynn Flewelling. This is a dark fantasy about a girl who has to be hidden from her family in order to survive. With magic, shape-changing, murder, it's a fantasy unlike any other, and very good.
2003: Shatterglass - Tamora Pierce. A young-adult fantasy. Surprisingly, it's the only one I've read by her still, mostly because I can't find the first ones in many of her series. This one is also part of a series, but is a stand-alone book as well, which is why I read it. I loved it. A young girl sets out on her career, and she works with glass. There is magic, and friendship, and a mystery, but the best thing is how she learns to control her magic to make glass.
The Dwelling - Susie Maloney. A haunted house story, about a real estate agent trying to sell a house that kills people who live in it. Some scenes haunt me to this day. Very frightening in places, and while the ending is not entirely believable (which is why I've never mentioned this book before) the first 3/4 of the book are among the best horror pages in print. She is also a Canadian author.
Isaac's Storm - Erik Larson. I've always wanted to be a meteorologist, and I'm fascinated by severe weather. This book was about the hurricane in 1900 that hit Galveston, Texas, destroying the city and killing thousands. An enthralling historical account about how misreading the weather cost thousands of lives.
2004: Sorcery and Cecelia, or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot - Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer. What a delightful fantasy! Written as a series of letters between two cousins, it follows one girl's coming out in society while the other stays at home......romance, enchantment, mystery, old ladies, and a magician, make this one of the most delightful alternate-world fantasies I've read. It's set in England, but an England with magic. Charming, witty, and fun.
Flight - Jan Burke. The first part of this book was wonderful and gripping. I found when the viewpoint switches to another character for the second half, the book didn't have the same edge to it. It's about a pilot who disappears, a police officer who may or may not be crooked, and how not knowing has changed all the people involved. It brought Jan Burke to my attention. Her character Irene Kelly is one of my favourite mystery heroines, and I've now read many of the books in the series.
Jane Austen: A Life - by Claire Tomalin. As soon as this book was in paperback, I bought it. I wanted a recent book about Austen's life, and this book was carefully researched by Tomalin. She brings a novelist's eye to Austen's life, and the relationships Jane has with her family, her few friends, to the places where she lived, and to what her family says about her, so that Jane takes on her own character. This is a book that enriched my reading of her novels, instead of taking away from them as sometimes happens.
2005: Sunshine- Robin McKinley. A novel about vampires, one that doesn't romanticize them, despite the presence of a romance in the book. Their danger and menace is refreshing after all the 'vampires are just humans who drink blood good guys' books that are out there now. The best one that describes how they move (if vampires existed!), and how they watch and kill humans, and how alien they are even though once human. Set in the stunningly prosaic setting of a bakery.
Paladin of Souls - Lois McMaster Bujold. Again, an author I haven't read much of. I found it through Locus recommended reading lists, and it is one of my favourite fantasy books now. It stars an older woman who has already had her children, whose son has taken the throne, and who leaves the castle because of a dream she has. How she follows this dream, and saves her country at the same time, is pure magic. It is so refreshing to read about a mature character! Who thinks her life is over, except the next part is just beginning. It's funny, hilarious in places, because like most of us middle-aged women, she is sarcastic and hates fools, and plenty abound of course in her travels.
2006: Breakup - Dana Stabenow. A Kate Shugak mystery, set in Alaska. This takes place during the annual breakup of the ice, and it is a laugh-out-loud riot of a mystery and craziness that occurs when everyone is waiting for spring, and gone slightly crazy with the long dark winter. Since I feel like this every spring, I could completely relate, and the insane episodes in the town, centered around a bar, had me laughing until I cried.
Smile of A Ghost - Phil Rickman. A Merrily Watkins mystery. She's the modern day Anglican church version of an exorcist, dealing with troubled souls both physical and other-worldly. Her daughter Jane gets a job at a hotel with a reputation for hauntings, and one scene in this books is truly, deeply chilling. Every book features some kind of mystery involving a potential haunting, and the wonderful countryside of The Welsh Borders with the idiosyncratic characters that go with the English countryside. Every book manages to give me chills, but this one outdid the others.
Bones - Jan Burke. The book that I now give to everyone who wants a chilling, gripping mystery. The scene in the field when she is with the serial killer looking for the supposed bones of his victims, is truly terrifying. From beginning to end, a well-written Irene Kelly mystery dealing again with unresolved crimes of the past, and how far can a killer be trusted, and how far should one go in pursuit of the truth. Everyone pays the price for getting close to a killer.
2007: Well of Lost Plots - Jasper Fforde. A Thursday Next science fiction novel set in a world where literary detectives prowl the books of the world, making sure the dialog and characters are what they should be. In this one, Thursday's husband doesn't exist, and she is pregnant, and determined to prove he does exist and bring him back to her. These are utterly delightful excursions into novels that we all know and love, thus giving us glimpses of Charles Dickens, Jane Eyre, mysteries and westerns from the inside. This book in particular is haunting and sad as she loses he memory, until she finds what she needs to keep it.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows - JK ROwling. Where I discover that I was right about Snape after all, and cry at the ending. A thoroughly good ending to the series. I miss new books about Harry, though!
S is for Silence - Sue Grafton. Made me remember what I love about Kinsey Milhone and the mysteries she solves. This one involves a missing woman, and the question of if she did get away, or was she murdered and buried?
Naming of the Dead - Ian Rankin. Siobhan Clarke discovers her parents were present at a rally; this mystery novel shows the slow fall of her from grace, as she learns what she will do to protect those she loves. Brilliant at showing how the police are always on the edge of falling over on the wrong side because of their proximity to those who do evil. This book made me want to know more about Siobhan and what happens to her, especially now that Rebus has retired....It's also about finding out what happened, so that no victim goes nameless. Bittersweet and gripping.
2008: Regular readers will know that I gave a list earlier this year, here. This list still holds true. All of these books are ones that linger in my mind, that I am so happy I read, and that I will revisit again one day.
So what books have you read over the past decade that stay with you? What are your favourites? If you've always kept a books-read list, is there a theme to what you end up liking the most, as in I usually pick fantasy or mystery as my top books of the year? There are so many books I could list that I thoroughly enjoyed in the past decade, and these are the ones that have had an affect on me. They are ones that come back to me, at odd moments of the day and the years, that I turn over in my mind and ruminate on. Books can change lives, and they certainly can affect how we live. When I look over my list, I see I particularly like books that are about the past continuing to shape the present, ghosts and hauntings, magic and terror, with a healthy dose of humour and love.

hmmm i have not kept a list for very long but I may try this!

Oh Susan, what a fun post!!! Though I'm not particularly sure I'm thrilled about what you just did to my wish list. ;) So many books I'd never even heard of before. Yes, fun, fun, fun!
It's funny, the two books that immediately jumped to mind in thinking over the last decade of reading are both non-fiction ones. We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families and And the Band Played On. Both very powerful. Both excellent. I'm sure I could pick out a dozen more, of course, but those two just stuck right out.

hm, more books to add to my wish list. Thanks! lol Cool idea for a post, though!

I'm glad you've listed Sunshine here - I hadn't heard of it before, but now I simply must have it.
I'm in the middle of Year of Wonders. My second Geraldine Brooks, and I love it.

I knew I should have turned away from this post when I was it was a list of your favorites. I knew I would be adding some more to my TBR list and I did!
My sister recommended Year of Wonders eons ago. It's on my shelf I just need to make it high priority.
I like Jan Burkes' too.

This is a really interesting post! I also find that many of my noteworthy books are fantasy, but I've also got a real soft spot for general fiction that somehow deals with issues of family and/or morality.

Bybee: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll come see what you've done now! :-D
DesLily: It's fun to do! I have to read the third one in the Sorcery and Cecilia series. I haven't picked it up. I enjoyed the second one very much too. It is good, isn't it?
Debi: LOL! I'm so glad I suggested books for you to read! :-D FUN!!
I've never read And the Band Played On, though it's been on my radar for years. There are so many good books I haven't read yet, that I'm like you and Booklogged, every time I go to a blog I find more to read! It's funny the books that stick with us, isn't it? And interesting, to see which books move me, that others haven't heard of yet. I hope you enjoy the ones I liked, too!
Kailana: I'm glad you enjoyed it, and that I could return the favour and have you add some to your list! lol
Julia: Some people didn't like it so much, but I did! I hope you do like it!
I can't say enough about Year of Wonders, it's such an amazing book. I have March now to try. Is that the one you read by her?
Booklogged: Oh, I'm so happy I could mention books you haven't read yet!!! I've found enough books on your blog, it's fun to find books you don't know about!
Memory: I hope you do a post about the books you really liked reading over the past years, then! I'd love to see what you loved, especially the fantasy books.

I have to ask what you thought of the ending of Year of Wonders. I also loved the book, at least three-quarters of it, and then I felt she botched the ending. I know I'm not alone in this feeling, and am always curious to find out how others felt about it. Particularly those that liked the ending, as I'm sure you must have, since it made your "best of" list.

Boy, you and I really are a lot alike. I'm planning on posting some of the entries from the book diaries I've been keeping over the years soon.

Jane: I really liked the ending. It was a bit surprising, which I liked, and I did like what she ended up doing (her work). I found it a very moving and believable work. I know some people are bothered by the witchcraft accusations, but I found it completely believable as well as heart-breaking. What didn't you like about the ending?
Emily: I'll come read your journal postings, you know I will! please do them soon, I'm very curious now! :-D especially as I love your reviews, and we do enjoy the same kinds of books.

I didn't know Sunshine by Robin McKinley came out so long ago, I thought it was way more recent doh. I loved that book. I have lists going back to 2003 but I know I loved The Black Jewels series by Anne Bishop, Lolita by Nabakov and discovered Charles de Lint, Margaret Atwood and Ali Smith all in the last few year.
- 30 June 2009 at 05:22
- Susan said...
Hi Rhinoa! It's funny how that works about when we discover authors, isn't it? It's like they stand on the periphery of our vision waiting for us to let them in. I knew Neverwhere existed, I just didn't pay attention until recently. I love discovering new authors and books, and one good thing about books is they never go out of style. A book written 100 years ago waits until we find it, like me with Middlemarch. I still can't get over how good it is!
I really enjoyed the Black Jewels trilogy when I read it a few years ago, too.

Susan - Here's my Amazon review of the Year of Wonders:
I absolutely loved this book until the ending. While reading it, I kept on telling everyone who would listen how good it was-I loved the writing, the subject matter, the characters, the history, the mood, the tone, the title. And then I read the last section and epilogue and cringed as a great story became nothing more than a soap opera.
Survival isn't just staying alive, it's keeping the values of your society intact and passing on the learnings from one generation to the next. With her botched ending, Brooks undercut this theme and destroyed Anna's integrity as a character.
I wish I could rave about this book-and I can, three-quarters of it is outstanding-but Brooks fell down on the last part and shortchanged her readers.
Most haunting image--when Anna described her mother looking through the bars of the branks that her father put on her for cursing him in public. It is for images like this that I can still recommend this flawed book.
It's been awhile since I read it, but my overall impression is that the ending was inconsistent with how I saw Anna and what I thought Brooks was trying to say with her story.

Emma Daly in Madrid | The Observer
A splendid bronze coffin in the ancient cathedral of Seville bears the bones of Christopher Columbus - or perhaps not.
The dispute over the explorer's true resting place dates from the 18th century, but it was only last year that a Spanish history teacher dreamt up a plausible way of discovering the truth.
This week researchers will open the golden door set into the Seville tomb to remove the remains for DNA comparison with the bodies of the explorer's son and brother, in the hope of determining whether Columbus lies here or, as is also claimed, in the Dominican Republic.
'We are open to all theories,' said Marcial Castro, a teacher at a school in Andalucía. He realised that, if scientists compared DNA from Hernando Colon, the explorer's illegitimate son (whose burial site in Seville is not disputed), they could identify the father's bones. Tomorrow Castro's team will collect Hernando's skeleton from a tomb in the cathedral and the bones of Diego Colon, the explorer's brother, from La Cartuja monastery in Seville, then extract the few fragments of bone and earth from Columbus's monument. 'We will take them by road to the University of Granada, where they will stay for three days before reburial on Friday,' said Castro.
Dr Jose Antonio Lorente, director of the acclaimed Laboratory of Genetic Identification at Granada, will try to extract enough DNA from the fragments to determine whether it matches Diego and Hernando.
'The specialists will be working night and day, and foreign experts will also take part,' said Castro.
More than 30 years after Columbus died peacefully in the Spanish city of Valladolid, his body was disinterred from its (second) resting place in the monastery of La Cartuja, Seville, and shipped to the Dominican Republic for burial in the new cathedral in Santo Domingo, alongside his son Diego.
And that is the last sighting on which historians can agree of the venerable corpse. In 1795 Spain ceded the island to France, but did not want the bones to fall into the hands of foreigners. They were moved to Havana until the 1898 Spanish-American war and the liberation of Cuba, when the Spanish decided they should be sent home to Seville.
But by then the controversy had already begun to gather pace: in 1877, an excavation of Santo Domingo cathedral unearthed a small lead box of bone fragments inscribed: 'Illustrious and distinguished male, Don Cristobal Colon'. Those remains are now buried at the Faro de Colon monument in the Dominican Republic.
To complicate matters further, more bones, said to be those of Columbus, were discovered in another site in Seville in 1950.
It will take months to produce a result, Castro said, 'and luck will play a really big part'.
But if the investigation goes well, the researchers may find out not only where Columbus lies but also who he was.
There are several theories about his identity: he was Italian, Spanish or Portuguese - but the Majorcan version says that Columbus was the son of Charles, Prince of Viana, and Margarita, a Majorcan woman - and Lorente happens to have identified a piece of the prince's DNA.
What happened to this test? It showed any results?
Today is September 11, 2005
I have been waiting for news regarding the DNA tests that were supposed to be carried out in Spain two years ago. I have checked and followed up all sources after the June 2003 about this issue and no answer has been found.
Please give me some lead, if you have, so I can continue my personal research on this matter. Thank you.

USTA Eastern
Junior Sportsmanship
January 1, 2018
On Saturday, January 27, USTA Eastern celebrated the athletic achievements and sportsmanship of our leading junior tournament players during our Junior Awards Luncheon at the 2018 Eastern Tennis Conference.
This award presentation was full of pomp this year and we want to extend a special thanks to our luncheon sponsor Mount Sinai Health System and Dr. Alexis Chiang Colvin, Chief Medical Officer for the US Open and team physician for the U.S. Fed Cup team, for joining us and making this a grand occasion.
The highlight of the luncheon was when our featured speaker, Collette V. Smith, the first-ever female coach hired by the New York Jets and the first African-American woman to be a coach for the National Football League, took charge of the podium. Ms. Smith was a big hit with the players and their families as she spoke passionately about starting to break down the gender barrier in football and encouraged our juniors to always have a winning attitude both on and off the court.ADVERTISEMENT
Be sure to click here to view the FiOS1 News feature about the luncheon.
USTA Eastern is committed to providing a positive atmosphere for tennis players across the section. Throughout the year, USTA Eastern will be sanctioning select tournaments as "#KindTennis Tournaments," where we will have on-site activations to celebrate what it means to be a good sport. These activations include contests asking players to describe what good sportsmanship means to them, fun photo opportunities, giveaways and prizes. In addition, we'll have #KindTennis ambassadors at these designated tournaments who will identify and reward good sports. Check back in to this page for updates, recognition and news surrounding this campaign.
USTA Junior Player Promise
I recognize that tennis is a sport that places the responsibility for fair play on me. I promise to abide by the rules of the game, which require me to give the benefit of the doubt to my opponent. At all times I shall strive to compete with the true spirit of sportsmanship, recognizing that my behavior on the court is a direct reflection of my character. Whether this match ends with my victory or defeat, I promise to conduct myself in a way that honors my opponent(s), my team, those who support me, and the game of tennis.

I use Macrium Reflect as my back up program and I have a boot disc for that, should be sufficient.

|01 Jul 2012
OK, I've clean installed and have the partitions created to my satisfaction.
Obviously I'm missing a lot of drivers. The screen resolution looks terrible and I can't coonnect to the internet, can't find a network, so I'm on to the HP website busily downloading drivers for the model, audio, chipset, network etc.
I presume this is the correct action?
|My System Specs

Windows 7 x64 Professional SP1
Hi Alleyoop,
Yes indeed, the best drivers are the ones supplied by your manufacturer, except for the network adapters, and graphics card, which should be direct from the card manufacturers themselves, not HP, unless you have dual graphics solution like Intel's HD 3000/4000 combined with a AMD/NVIDIA dedicated graphics card
This is because HP's (or any other OEM) provided drivers for the graphics solution are often outdated compared to the ones released by the card makers

|01 Jul 2012
Have you used Windows Update yet to download updates/drivers? Did you not follow the tutorial Greg posted?
|My System Specs
|01 Jul 2012
Yeh, I followed the tutorial, it was really helpful. I hit a hurdle when I couln't access the internet, so I was trying to download drivers from another computer.
Eventually I accessed an ethernet connection and everything looks good now and I'm accessing the net Wi Fi.
I'll look into manufacturers drivers for graphics card and network.
Thank you all so much for the help, it was the long way around, (reinstalling the OS), but I think all for the best in the end.
This forum is fantastic!

It says clearly in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 to put your network driver on a stick or CD so you can get online quickly to get newer drivers via optional Windows Updates. Apparently you didnt' follow the tutorial if you weren't prepared to get online and now think you have to import manufacturer's drivers into an OS which is driver-complete with few exceptions.

Yes, I'm sorry, got distracted with other things toward the end of the install and didn't do that. Reread it later.

Eigenvalue estimates for the scattering problem associated to the sine-Gordon equation - Mathematics > Spectral Theory
Eigenvalue estimates for the scattering problem associated to the sine-Gordon equation - Mathematics > Spectral Theory - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Abstract: One of the difficulties associated with the scattering problems arising inconnection with integrable systems is that they are frequentlynon-self-adjoint, making it difficult to determine where the spectrum lies. Inthis paper, we consider the problem of locating and counting the discreteeigenvalues associated with the scattering problem for which the sine-Gordonequation is the isospectral flow. In particular, suppose that we take aninitially stationary pulse for the sine-Gordon equation, with a profile thathas either one extremum point of height less than pi and topological charge 0,or is monotone with topological charge +-1. Then we show that the pointspectrum lies on the unit circle and is simple. Furthermore, we give a count ofthe number of eigenvalues. This result is an analog of that of Klaus and Shawfor the Zakharov-Shabat scattering problem. We also relate our results, as wellas those of Klaus and Shaw, to the Krein stability theory for symplecticmatrices. In particular we show that the scattering problem associated to thesine-Gordon equation has a symplectic structure, and under the above conditionsthe point eigenvalues have a definite Krein signature, and are thus simple andlie on the unit circle.

Urban farm robbed three times in two weeks
An urban farm in Longwood is trying to get back on its feet after being burglarized three times in two weeks.
Tanya Fields says she caught the thief red-handed when he struck at the Libertad Urban Farm, located on Simpson Street, on Aug. 3.
Fields says he escaped with nearly $2,000 worth of vegetables, gardening tools and machinery.
"I literally did catch him in the act trying to jump the gate with the lawn mower," she says.
Fields says the suspect, 33-year-old Rico Valdez, hit the farm twice that day. She says she was able to corner him the second time until police showed up, arresting him and charging him with petit larceny.
But two weeks later, someone struck again and Fields believes it was Valdez.
"It's just disconcerting and heartbreaking that in three days, a lot of that work is undone and we had a major setback," she says.
In hopes of preventing a fourth burglary at the farm, Fields says she plans on putting in higher gates, security cameras and a more secure shed.

This years Club Championship will be played in two groups, A and B. The A group is for those graded 130 and above; the B group is for those graded below 130. The games can be played between now and the end of April 2011. In May 2011 we will arrange semifinals and a final for the two top players in each group, so those in group B may yet be the overall champion.
The scoring in the league will be 3 points for a win, two for a draw and one for a loss. This favours players who play but lose over those who do not play their games. It is your responsibility to arrange matches with your opponents. The more of your games you get played, the more points you score, and the better chance you have of winning the title!
The time limit is the same as the league matches we play: 75 minutes for 35 moves, and the rest of the game in a further 15 minutes. Games will be graded with the ECF.
There is scope for new players to join in. If that happens, I will update the fixture list to include them.
Results and tables will appear on the club noticeboard and here at the website.
Please let me know all results. I can be contacted by phone, email, or through the website.
