Comfort & Quality
Our main goal in creating Alterre was to provide chic and stylish shoes that don't inhibit the comfort of the wearer. We also wanted to make the shoes interchangeable so that the looks could be updated, but who cares if they interchange if you can't wear them for more than a couple of hours? So we designed shoes that were wider at the ball of the foot than the average women's shoe, with heel heights tested for comfort, as well as added foam padding under the sock liner to make them perfect for all day wear.
We know you may have seen other modular shoe lines that interchange parts of the shoe. What makes our line so unique is that you can change the looks (straps) between heel heights. This way you can actually change what your shoe looks like to match the occasion.
Designing looks that change between heel heights is actually pretty tough. The shape of your foot changes with the incline of the shoe you are wearing, making it difficult for a look to fit comfortably both ways. We spent two years prototyping (and getting potentially high off of contact cement in our windowless studio) to bring you the styles we have today.
Why not make the heels interchangeable you ask? When you move around the heel height on a fixed shoe it effects the balance and fit. Think about the weird feeling you get walking when the rubber on your heel wears off. It's because the heel has changed heights.
Our shoes are designed in New York City but produced in fair labor factories in Brazil. We work with shoe experts with over 30 years of experience both in Brazil and the US to bring you a shoe that is as expertly crafted as possible.
We firmly believe in producing shoes using fair labor, and to ensure peace of mind we visited the factory ourselves and made sure that everyone there was happy and healthy.
All Alterre shoes are made with genuine leather that we source locally in Brazil. The leather is a bit more expensive than some from other parts of the world, but our customers deserve the highest quality we can offer. We source the leather and other shoe components directly in Brazil to reduce our transportation carbon footprint overall.
As fashion designers we inherently create waste, and did our best to produce a shoe that lessens that impact. Because the looks are interchangeable, you only have one base lift and many shoes, meaning less production of plastic heels.

Pet expert Marc Morrone shares vital tips to make sure your furry and feathered friends stay happy and healthy in hot weather.
The Martha Stewart Show, July 2007
The dog days of summer are upon us -- a time that could threaten the health of your pet. Most animals begin to feel uncomfortable in temperatures above 85 degrees. Pet expert Marc Morrone shared these vital tips to make sure your furry and feathered friends stay happy and healthy during the hot weather.
- Clean water bowls with soap and water every day; dishes grow bacteria in hot weather. Leftover fruit in a cage attracts fruit flies, so keep a fruit-fly trap nearby during summer.
- If taking your bird outside, be sure its wings are clipped to prevent it from flying off. Some can fly a little with clipped wings, so if you're unsure about your bird, put a harness on it.
- Don't go out during the hottest times of the day or for long stretches.
- When a bird begins to overheat, it will pant rapidly and stand up very tall with its wings open. Mist it with water and get it to a cooler place.
- Dogs' cooling systems are different from ours -- they can cool off only through panting and sweating a little on the pads of their feet, and usually those pads are walking on hot concrete.
- Warning signs of overheating include excessive panting and glazed eyes; the dog also will not want to move if it is becoming overheated.
- If your dog is overheated, take it to a cool, shady area and give it cool water and spray it with cool water. If your dog is in really bad shape, take it to the vet right away.
- Dogs with flat faces have a harder time breathing and panting. Marc suggests putting ice cubes in a tube sock and loosely wrapping it around their necks.
- For a white-haired dog, use sunblock on its nose and belly. Vaseline on pads helps reduce heat level.
- Rabbits can greatly suffer in the heat. In nature, they stay cool in an underground burrow. Be sure the rabbit has fresh, clean water available all the time, and put a frozen bottle of water in the cage for it to lean up against to help it cool off.
- Place bags of ice in a tank in the summer to help keep the temperature down.
- Never put ice cubes directly in a tank. As the ice melts, it may put off impurities into the water that are harmful to your fish.
Hamsters and Gerbils
- Hamsters and gerbils are desert animals by nature, and they handle hot weather well as long as they have a constant source of water.
- Make sure to clean out their water bottles daily with soap and water to prevent bacteria from growing.
General Tips
- Don't leave pets at home with windows closed and no air conditioning. If you don't have air conditioning, keep a frozen bottle of water on the floor.
- Watch your pets around large pools: Even if there are steps, don't assume your dog knows to use them.
- Carry a canteen of water when you walk your dog.

Website for the third annual Chicago Colloquium on Digital Humanities and Computer Science in 2008. The goal of the annual Chicago Colloquia on Digital Humanities and Computer Science (DHCS) is to bring together researchers and scholars in the humanities and computer science to examine the current state of digital humanities as a field of intellectual inquiry and to identify and explore new directions and perspectives for future research.
Design Notes:
The DHCS conference website (built on the Tarski WordPress theme) is structured a little more elaborately than most of the other WordPress conference sites listed on this site. To begin, the site's home page does not default to a page listing individual posts (which is the WordPress default) but to a static page. This allows the site to specify a different page for posts. Visitors to the site first see the general info page and can then switch to the blog page for announcements and updates. In this case, the blog page was also used to record the registration information of each participant at the conference including areas of interest recorded as post categories. This in turn allowed the organizers to provide a running overview (and allow visitors to search for) who was coming to the conference, what areas they were interested in etc. You'll also note that the items (widgets) in the sidebar are different on the home and the blog page – this is a special feature of the Tarski theme (it also provides the same functionality for footers). As a final point of interest Tarski does a nice job styling the default Page widget. You can see this on the site's home page where parent and child pages are displayed in an easy to follow hierarchy. Once you know that such options are already built into Tarski and WordPress creating a site such as this is not at all difficult.

Dec. 8, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT rifle team hosted Wentworth Institute of Technology, the Massachusetts Maritime Academy (MMA) and Virginia Military Institute (VMI) over the weekend, sweeping all three opponents convincingly in both classifications. The Engineers moved to 16-6 on the season.
Emily Houston's score of 587 in air rifle was more than 20 points better than her closest competitor, as she recorded at least a 96 on all six attempts. Houston was also the high-marksman in the smallbore competition with a score of 568. Joseph Lane also had an impressive effort, shooting 558 in smallbore and 564 in air. Only Houston and Jim Leenhouts of VMI registered higher point totals in the two guns.
Nigel Kojimoto helped contribute to the victory with scores of 550 in smallbore and 556 in air rifle. Sarah Miles rounded out the scoring for Tech, shooting 519 in smallbore and a 538 point effort in air rifle.
MIT's point total of 4440 was good enough to beat out VMI (4331). The Keydets narrowly edged Wentworth, which finished with a total of 4316 while MMA recorded 4030 points.
The Engineers do not return to action until the Bean Pot Competition against Wentworth, John Jay, Coast Guard and Penn State on January 31 and February 1.

FAO appoints Prince Laurent of Belgium Special Ambassador for Forests and the Environment
His Highness highlights the crucial role forests play in agricultural development in the developing world
Prince Laurent of Belgium was today appointed FAO Special Ambassador for Forests and the Environment.
The announcement was made by FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva at the Organization's Committee on Forests (COFO) opening ceremony in Rome.
The appointment is in recognition of Prince Laurent's longstanding efforts to promote global development and his passion for the environment, sustainable technologies, and animal health and well-being.
As FAO Special Ambassador, Prince Laurent will help FAO raise awareness about, and foster policy dialogue on, issues related to the sustainable management of forests and other natural resources.
The FAO Director General expressed his gratitude to Prince Laurent for agreeing to advocate the cause of sustainable development as FAO Special Ambassador.
"I am convinced that his involvement will send a strong message to the international community that sustainable management of resources is an essential means to achieve adequate access to food and water for all," Graziano da Silva said.
Highlighting FAO's role in the fight against hunger and the protection of natural resources, Prince Laurent said: "In many regions of the developing world, agricultural development can only be achieved through sustainable preservation of forests. Forests are key to rural development and the fight against poverty.
"I take this gesture as a recognition of my work and my involvement," he added. "I am ready to devote myself to this mission."
Prince Laurent described Belgium's role as a pioneer country in forestry research and management and noted how "whether tropical, boreal, temperate or Mediterranean, forests have always played an important role in human societies in an economic, social and environmental way".
"Sustainable management has always been a concern for me throughout the years in which I have developed activities in Europe and Africa," he said.
The FAO Director-General stressed that Prince Laurent will also contribute "to one of humanity's greatest collective enterprises: eradicating hunger in our lifetime."
For 25 years, Prince Laurent acted as Chairman of the Royal Institute for the Sustainable Management of Natural Resources and the Promotion of Clean Technologies, which promoted the conservation of nature and the development of clean technologies.
Prince Laurent is also the Chairman of the European Research Group for Alternative Toxicity Testing (ERGATT).
Graziano da Silva praised his current role as President of the Prince Laurent Foundation, which is dedicated to animal welfare.
"We welcome your support for our joint effort, which is to sustainably manage forests for the progress of humanity," said Eduardo Rojas-Briales, FAO Assistant Director-General for Forestry.
The United Nations has a tradition of enlisting the support of prominent individuals to underline priority issues and to draw attention to its activities.

1. Re: Image Sequence questionBob Bringhurst - Adobe May 18, 2011 10:01 AM (in response to clarkhad)
Create a poster image that's the same size as the Image Sequence, but don't include it in the folder with the rest of the images. Place the poster image, select it, and create the Image Sequence overlay. Uncheck Show First Image Initially.
2. Re: Image Sequence questionclarkhad May 18, 2011 10:21 AM (in response to Bob Bringhurst - Adobe)
I followed your directions by doing the following, but still get the same problem I described initially:
1. I created a poster image that resides in another folder, separated from the image sequence assets.
2. I placed the poster image in my InDesign document.
3. I selected the poster image.
4. I opened the Image Sequence panel, clicked on the "Load Images" folder, and loaded my image sequence assets.
5. I ensured that "Show First Image Initially" was unchecked.
When I preview my app in the Adobe Content Viewer, the poster image remains below my 360º image sequence as I swipe back and forth through the sequence. How can I get the poster image to disappear? Is it because I'm using .png files in order to have a transparent background vs. JPEG images?
I absolutely need the 360º image to swipe with an alpha channel - no solid background. I'm assuming that if I used JPEGs instead, the solid background of the images would cover the poster image. Is there no way to create a 360º image sequence from .png images so that an alpha channel background will be included?
3. Re: Image Sequence questionBob Bringhurst - Adobe May 18, 2011 12:07 PM (in response to clarkhad)
Yes, your poster is showing through the transparent background. Let me ask around to see if there's a workaround for posters with transparent overlays.
4. Re: Image Sequence questionclarkhad Jun 1, 2011 8:41 AM (in response to Bob Bringhurst - Adobe)
Hi Bob,
Have you been able to find out more about this issue? I'm hoping to use transparent images in many overlays.
- clarkhad
5. Re: Image Sequence questionBob Bringhurst - Adobe Jun 1, 2011 9:18 AM (in response to clarkhad)
No, I haven't been able to figure out a way to include a poster with transparent images in an Image Sequence.
6. Re: Image Sequence questionAndrew Smith Feb 23, 2012 2:21 PM (in response to Bob Bringhurst - Adobe)
The problem of the initial image still displaying behind an image sequence with alpha still hasn't been resolved. Will this ever happen?
Also, when unchecking "Show First Image Initially" and choosing "Auto Play" an image sequence with alpha looks fine when viewing the article, however the thumbnail images in the browse mode and the table of contents do not show any image from the sequence, therefore looking like a big empty space. Is there a workaround for this?
7. Re: Image Sequence questionAndrew Smith Feb 23, 2012 2:52 PM (in response to Andrew Smith)
Another bit of strangeness with image sequences: autoplaying shows the counter-clockwise rotation of my original rendered images, however when tapped once to stop and then tapped again to continue playing the image sequence the rotation is now clockwise (the reverse of the original direction). This isn't a huge deal but it is odd. Double-tapping to reset the sequence makes the image disappear when "Show First Image Initially" is unchecked.
8. Re: Image Sequence questionBob Bringhurst - Adobe Mar 7, 2012 8:19 AM (in response to Andrew Smith)
What image format are you using for your image sequence files?
9. Re: Image Sequence questionellipsis81_uk Feb 24, 2012 1:40 AM (in response to clarkhad)
I've been reading through the forums about transparent PNG image sequences and wondered if there is a fix yet so that the poster image does not display behind the image sequence? Thanks.
10. Re: Image Sequence questionAndrew Smith Feb 24, 2012 7:28 AM (in response to Bob Bringhurst - Adobe)
I'm using After Effects to render out an RGB+Alpha PNG sequence.
11. Re: Image Sequence questionPanaJohnX Mar 7, 2012 9:36 AM (in response to clarkhad)
Has anyone found a solution to this issue yet? I'm having the same problem and have tried the same suggestions with no results. JPG files work fine. PNG are preferable though because of the transparent background. The image sequence itself works, but the poster image will not disappear and the sequence rotates over it. Or the poster image will not show at all.
Thanks for any help!
12. Re: Image Sequence questionmdc1313 Mar 7, 2012 12:08 PM (in response to Andrew Smith)
Hey Andrew -
You can upload a custom thumbnail for the page in question - I do that for pages that contain big areas of HTML content.
13. Re: Image Sequence questionAndrew Smith Mar 7, 2012 12:52 PM (in response to mdc1313)
I can see where to change the Table of Contents thumbnail, but I'm wanting to be able to change the tall "thumbnail" displayed in the browse mode where you can see the top part of the whole stack and the articles in relation to each other. Do you know of a way to change this preview image?
14. Re: Image Sequence questionmdc1313 Mar 7, 2012 1:08 PM (in response to Andrew Smith)
Andrew, you do this in the online Folio Producer-Organizer. In the Folio Producer, select the folio containing the article in question. Click the "Open" button at top. Scroll until you find your article, and click to select it. In the info box at left, on the bottom is a link that allows you to upload a custom TOC image.
15. Re: Image Sequence questionTomek Kuczborski Mar 7, 2012 1:38 PM (in response to Andrew Smith)
AFAIK you can't do it without disassembling the .folio and manually replacing images there.
16. Re: Image Sequence questionellipsis81_uk Apr 28, 2012 10:04 AM (in response to Bob Bringhurst - Adobe)
This is a follow up to an old problem/fix request...
I was hoping V19 producer tools may have fixed the transparent PNG sequence issue where it leaves the inital image behind the rest of the images.
Has anyone found a fix to this yet?
17. Re: Image Sequence questionFlorent_Romanet_SICPA Apr 30, 2012 12:20 AM (in response to Bob Bringhurst - Adobe)
Hi all
and this is another follow up to the PNG sequence issue with the initial image showing up!
I can not figure out why the bug is still here in v19 ?
18. Re: Image Sequence questionbox@globalmaritime Aug 10, 2012 3:37 AM (in response to ellipsis81_uk)
I have struggled with this today, so this bug seems to be there still. I upgraded to last version today, prior to start working.
Seems as I need to go back to jpgs to make this work..
19. Re: Image Sequence questionAndrew Smith Aug 10, 2012 8:18 AM (in response to box@globalmaritime)
One way around this is to make an MSO with the first state being the first frame of your PNG sequence and the second state being the image sequence. You set the MSO to autoplay with a short interval (0.125 secs), tell it to play 1 time and to stop at the last image. If you want to edit the image sequence settings once you've put it into the MSO just select the state in the object states panel and double-click on the image sequence. Image sequence options such as "Swipe to Change Image" should work normally.
20. Re: Image Sequence questionChristianBlaise Jun 25, 2013 7:42 AM (in response to Andrew Smith)
Thanks for the tip, it is working well when you have some sequence that must go 360 automatically.
For those interested, here are the settings for the MSO and the sequence.
I wanted to use the same trick for an image sequence which is not automatically playing at launch but only when the user swipe it.
In that case, your trick does not work (because of the autoplay) but I found differents settings for the MSO and the sequence to make it work, based on your original tip.
Here are the settings for the MSO and sequence in that case.
I did 2 settings for the sequence, the first setting plays the sequence in loop which allows to play directly with the sequence by swiping, but sometimes, it is quite difficult to stop the sequence exactly where you want (which is the same than with the original tip if you want to swipe the sequence when played):
The second setting only plays the sequence once. You then have a better control but once you have swipe the first time (where the sequence stops at the end), you have to swipe again to play with it (and then you can do whatever you want) :
I know that this is not completely perfect but based on your use case, you can choose one way or the other to get the best effect.
Hope you'll find this useful!

LG to launch dual-format HD DVD, Blu-ray player
Best of both worlds
LG will next week unveil a consumer optical disc player capable of handling both HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc next-generation disc formats, it has emerged.
The company appears to have confirmed that it will launch the device at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next week, but it's keeping mum on details like availability and pricing.
Samsung is the name most associated with dual-format players - the LG rival last year admitted it was considering such a device, having been earlier rumoured to be working on one. Later, Samsung indicated it had nixed the notion, preferring to put its full weight behind the Blu-ray Disc format, which it has long been a supporter.
So is LG, having launched its first Blu-ray Disc machine almost a year ago. It too was rumoured to be planning to convert its BD199 player into a dual-format device, but in the end never did.
Instead, it seems a second-generation device will support both next-gen formats. Given the complexity a dual-format read mechanism is likely to necessitate, we wouldn't be surprised if LG opts simply to stuff two separate drives in a single box. Either way, it's not going to be cheap, but it could be what HD-keen consumers are waiting for. ®

KLS-8080I is designed for the motor with common three hall sensors.
KLS-8080IPS is designed for the motor with Sine/Cosine speed sensors.
You may check more details in configuration part of KLS8080I/IPS user manual.
When speed sensor type is set at 4 for linear feedback sensor(sin/cosin speed sensor),you may use KLS-8080IPS controller.
For example,Mars 1115 motor is one of kinds of these motors.You need to use KLS-8080IPS controller to match Mars 1115 motor.
There are +5V,GND,Sin and Cosin I/O port on speed sensors from this motor.
Kelly trapezoidal wave controller KBL/KHB/KDHE/HPM can support CAN2.0A(1Mbps) or J1939(250Kbps) protocol.
CAN bus is an optional function for these controllers.By default,there is no CAN bus included in the controller if customers don't pay it.
Moreover the protocol is CAN2.0A type by default if you pay the CAN bus function.
Kelly Sinusoidal wave controller KLS-D/KLS-8080I/IPS supports Broadcast type CAN bus which is based on SAEJ1939 and CAN2.0B protocol.
By default,CAN bus is not included in KLS-D controller if customers don't choose the check-box for CAN bus when they place the order.
KLS-8080I/IPS controller includes Broadcast CAN bus function by default.
Customers can download Broadcast CAN protocol from the website.
The new box is dedicated to the KDZ/KDC/PM assembly including the shunt inside.But It is only useful for the assemblies below,nothing else.
1.KDZ/KDC Sep/ex motor controller assembly
2.KDZ/KDC Series wound motor/PM brushed motor controller assembly without reversing contactor
3.PM brushed motor controller assembly
On the other hand,we will publish one more new box for other assemblies according to the requirements in the near future.
This new box provides friendly I/O ports for customers to hook up the system between the motor,battery pack and the assembly.It can protect the assembly against the dirty or rain.
1. KSL is designed for fan,pump,compressor.It is not suitable for electric vehicles such as motorcycle,scooter or moped project.
2. KSL will drive the motor with a certain speed once power is on.You can not stop it unless power is off.
3. You can not change its direction unless the power is off also.
4. You may apply a higher throttle position for the controller before power is on.It will be easy for the controller to start the motor.
5. It only supports 1,7000eRPM so far.
All 24V controllers can work with 12V-24V nominal batteries, or 8-30V absolute voltage. If you need 12V controllers, please order Kelly 24V controllers.
Usually the performance will be optimized if the power of the controller is 2.0-3.0 times of the motor's. Please take this point as reference when place an order online.
The controller current rating is the motor current. Basically motor current=max motor current *percentage, battery current=motor current*percentage. For example, KEB72450, we set Max Motor Current and Max Battery Current to 80% and 60% respectively. The motor current will be 150A*80%=120A peak. The battery current will be 120A*60%=72A.
Usually it is used on electric boat.You can drive the motor on backward and forward without installing reversing switch.It is just a software function,which is none of business with external hardware.By default,2.5V is zero speed position,2.4V-2.6V is throttle dead zone,2.6V-5.0V is for forward,2.4V-0V is for backward.You can adjust the throttle dead zone in GUI.
Please note the EMF is differential of two motor terminals. Basically EMF zero crossing should align with hall edge. The controller doesn't detect EMF zero crossing. It just reads hall, and assuming the EMF align with it. Please download the example timing Phase vs Hall. Hall Phase timing 60 degrees Hall Phase timing 120 degrees
Kelly regen controllers can boost motor voltage (EMF) to battery voltage, and charge up battery. It takes energy from motor so will slow down the motor. Controller will check overvoltage limit as doing regen. As battery voltage approaching the limit, it will reduce regen. It will stop regen if reached the limit. On the other hand, the controller can't buck down motor voltage. If motor running at too high speed and motor voltage is higher than battery voltage, it will charge battery automatically. That can hurt controller and battery if energy is too high. Usually regen requires stable field. So PM, sep-ex, BLDC and PMAC motors are ideal to do regen.
The controller will start regen as soon as throttle released. Vehicle will slow down because of braking effect of the regen. Only recommended for special application like riding on hilling or rolling area. No recommended for road vehicle because you will lose "free running". Continuous adjustable regen braking with 0-5V signal is recommended for road vehicle.
"Releasing Throttle Starts Regen" means starts regen when the throttle is released. "Brake Switch Regen" means starts regen as soon as the brake switch is activated to RTN after the throttle is released. "0-5V Signal Regen" means the regen can be adjusted by varying the signal. You must install 0-5V brake sensor. By default the controller will work with brake switch regen mode. You couldn't use three regen modes at the same time. You need to disable other two modes.
Speed mode, torque mode and balanced mode. Customers can configure it other than KD/KDS controller in GUI. KD/KDS controller can only work with torque mode. The controller will output voltage to motor proportional to throttle if under speed control mode. It will output current if under torque mode. The balanced mode is between them. The 0-5V signal from either 0-5K pot or 0-5V hall active throttle can be accepted. Normal is 5K,2K-20K can be used. The motor will reach top speed quickly working under torque mode if with empty load. KLS series controllers can not provide speed mode,torque mode and balanced mode in the user programs.
The controller KD can work with either 2-wire 0-5K pot or 3-wire pot and hall active throttle. By default, the controller works with 2-wire 0-5K pot, the throttle type is 0-5K in GUI. If you want to install 3-wire 0-5K pot or Hall active throttle on the back face panel of the controller, please choose 0-5V for the throttle type in GUI. Otherwise the controller won't response the throttle signal.
The controller does current multiplication. You can limit the battery current,but still get higher current to the motor at low speed.
32-bit microprocessor, higher PWM frequency. Standard model: 16.6KHz, 40,000 eRPM. High speed model: 33KHz, 70,000 eRPM. Ultra high speed model: 100KHz, 100,000 eRPM. eRPM=Mechanical RPM*Pole pairs. It does generate more heat because of higher switching frequency.
Please note high speed motor option is only useful for high speed motor. eRPM=RPM*Pole Pairs. The standard controller can support 40,000eRPM. What is the criterion for high speed motor? When eRPM of the motor is above 40,000, we can call it high speed motor for Kelly controller. The high speed motor option doesn't mean it will push the motor to get a higher speed. High speed motor option means that it is capable of catching the hall switching time of high speed motor. If the motor is 40,000eRPM below, the standard controller can tackle the switching signal from hall sensor. The motor will run properly. That is why we don't add high speed motor option to the controller for low speed motor, which is not used to increase RPM. The speed is the inherent characteristic of the motor. We can not change it. Just like resistance is the inherent characteristic of the resistor. Similarly Ultra high speed motor option is only useful for ultra high speed motor(70KeRPM-100KeRPM).
"E" model gets higher efficiency and higher continuous current. It generates 30% to 50% less heat comparing with standard model.
Make sure PWR switch is turned on. We suggest do not install user program in C disk of your computer. XP or Vista operation system is preferred. Please download the driver from here. Some protection software will not be compatible with the user program. USB to RS232 converter is necessary for building the communication between the computer and controller. Kelly RS232 converter is also required only for KD, KDS, KDHD controllers. Click for more info.
If you only want to program the controller, B+ and B- can be disconnected. You only need to connect the power to J2 pin 1 and J2 pin 2 or PWR vs GND/RTN. You can not try to connect the controller to the computer while the motor is running. Restart the power supply can obtain the change results.
Firstly, you should see Green Light solid ON, Red Light flashing or off if the controller is powered. Then, please measure how much is J2 pin7 or 5V out. You may measure the resistance of the controller, unpowered, from B+ to Phase A, B, C, and from Phase A, B, C to B- if it is a brushless motor controller, measure from B+ to M, and from M to B- if brushed motor controller.Please swap Red probe and Black probe on the terminals when you measure the resistance to avoid the discharge from the capacitors. You may remove the controller from the motor prior to measure the resistance. You should see the resistance gradually up to Kohm rating. Otherwise the controller got damaged.
We usually spec 8-30V for the power supply of the isolated controller, which must be separated from main battery pack. Basically B+/B-/M or B+/B-/A/B/C those high current high voltage terminals are in one group. They are isolated from everything. B- only can be connected to main battery pack minus, nothing else.
Kelly brushless controllers(KBL, KEB, KBS, HP,KHB series), KD controllers with field, KDC controllers with field and PM controllers can do electric reversing by themselves. They can change polarity of drive to the motor, so the motor can change direction. You still need to give the controller a small switch signal, commanding the controller to do that. The controllers can do that very quick, without wearing or tearing. Other series controllers can't change polarity of output. You need an external reversing contactor to do that. Click for reversing contactors.
Many types of hall sensors can work with our controller. The operation voltage 3-20V can be used. Kelly controller can provide 5V out supply. It is capable of detecting the signal value from the hall. The range 2.5V-4.5V is for high level. The remaining is for low level. Min datas: 0.7V-1.0V(low). Max datas: 4.0V-4.5V(high).
Waterproof controllers are IP65. Normal version is IP44.

OPINION: Reese Was Robbed
The Northwoods League announced its postseason awards on Sunday afternoon, and somehow Rox starter Reese Gregory was not named Pitcher of the Year.
The complaint alone, taken at face value, may come off as a bit of homerism for the former Apollo Eagle and current St. Cloud State Husky. However, the numbers alone say the Gregory was gaffled by the NWL in 2014.
Let me begin by saying that the 2014 Pitcher of the Year, Matt Kent of Rochester, is a worthy candidate for the honor. My argument here is in no way, shape or form meant to disparage his talent level or the season that he had for the Honkers.
Kent, a 6'0", 175 lbs sophomore lefty from Texas A&M, was 3-3 (T-49th in NWL) this season for Rochester with a 2.08 ERA (5th in NWL). In 77.2 innings pitched (2nd), Kent struck out 69 batters (2nd) while walking just ten and allowing 63 hits.
The Honkers were 7-5 in games in which Kent pitched, and in fairness they scored one run or less in three of those losses.
Gregory, a 6'0", 200 lbs sophomore, was 7-2 (1st in NWL) this season with a 1.69 ERA (1st in NWL) and 71 strikeouts (1st). He won the pitching version of the Triple Crown, and somehow was overlooked for the honor.
The righty allowed just 50 hits in 69 innings pitched and walked just 16 batters. The Rox were 9-3 in games Gregory started.
The Honkers and Rox each finished with 37-35 records on the season, so it isn't as if Kent was nudged ahead by leading his team to the playoffs.
If the Northwoods League is going to hand out an award called Pitcher of the Year, it is insane that the leader in most statistical categories does not win it.

A ledger has recently come to light, a kind of logbook that chronicled the day-to-day activities at the Ditch Plain, Montauk, lifesaving station during the five-year period from 1873 to 1878. Trouble is, you will have to go to Southold to see it.
The Southold Historical Society purchased the ledger for its Horton Point Lighthouse Museum after it was offered for sale by a private collector.
"We were contacted by a dealer who acquired it. He contacted a number of institutions. It was in excellent condition. We have collections related to the U.S. Life Saving Service," said Geoffrey Fleming, director of the Horton Light museum.
The Life Saving Service operated stations all along the coast. It was one of the Coast Guard's precursor agencies.
Mr. Fleming said his museum bought the log last summer at a cost "in the low thousands," along with a number of photographs of East End lifesaving stations. He said the book details a number of rescues, maintenance information, and shipwrecks, of which the most tragic was surely the wreck of the Circassian off Bridgehampton. On Jan 1, The New York Times reported that "the search for the bodies of the unfortunate men of the ship Circassian was rewarded yesterday afternoon by the discovery of three corpses which were thrown up on the shore about four miles [west] of Montauk Point. The wind did not abate until nightfall, yet it was not so keen as to drive off the patrolling men of the Life Saving Service."
The lifesaving station was certainly the Ditch Plain Station. The bodies were those of three crewman, all of whom were Shinnecock Indians. The wreck itself occurred on the stormy night of Dec. 11.
Mr. Fleming said that yes, he had been contacted after the sale by a representative of the Montauk Lighthouse Museum. Tricia Wood, the Montauk museum's site manager, said Tuesday that while the Horton Light museum was not interested in selling the book, it would consider lending it to Montauk sometime in the future.
More information about the ledger can be found on the Southold Historical Society's Web site, southoldhistoricalsociety.org.

Something Old, Something New
Users of the Two Most Measured and Most Important Variables in Process ControlTemperature and PressureAre Benefiting from Added Intelligence, Software and Other New Technologies, but Everything Still Depends on Good Old-Fashioned Sensors and Well-Maintained Thermocouples and Resistance Temperature Detectors
By Jim Montague, Executive Editor
Since about five minutes after the invention of fire, people have tried to measure temperature and pressure. Whoever burned themselves first or tossed the first dried corn or coconut onto a fire no doubt paid closer attention after those first explosions. After all, heat creates pressure, and pressure generates heat. And all the slowly accelerating technology advances and industrial revolutions since then have only made it more important to check temperature and pressure more precisely and more often.
However, temperature and pressure have been measured for so long, and the tools used to measure them have become so ubiquitous that they and their users have grown pretty set in their ways. Perhaps due to their widespread success and long history, thermocouples, many resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and pressure sensors have grown slightly invisible and perhaps a bit taken for granted. Still, because they play crucial roles in countless applications, many users are reluctant to seek or accept adaptations or innovations in how they're applied.
Carbon for Cars
For instance, every vehicle with a catalytic converter needs a canister full of activated carbon. That's a lot of vehicles and a lot of carbon. This is why MeadWestvaco in Covington, Ga., makes about 17,000 tons of it annually, using sawdust and phosphoric acid in an activating kiln process. The only catch is that this application requires precise control and measurement of its char temperatures.
Consequently, MeadWestvaco uses numerous different thermocouples to measure and sometimes recheck 150 different temperatures, mostly on individual devices, but also on some redundant ones too. The process also requires the company to monitor and control gas valves, exhaust temperatures and temperatures of liquids in tanks, including byproducts and slurries. The firm uses ISO-certified thermocouples from JMS Southeast in Statesville, N.C., and some infrared devices, which are calibrated and checked annually.
"I've been a field instrumentation guy for six years, and even in that short time we've seen better technology for temperature sensing elements," says Mark Brackenridge, electrical and instrumentation (E&I) supervisor at MeadWestvaco. "For example, all thermocouples still have the same bi-metal junctions, but now we have better metallurgy in the sheaths protecting the sensors, and so they last longer. These sheaths previously were stainless steel, but now we have Stabolloy and Hastelloy, and they last about five years. We store some ¼-in. and 3/8-in. sheathes with different temperature conducting capabilities, but we also tell JMS the lengths and specifications we need, and they make them to order for us."
Frank Johnson, JMS' general manager, reports that, not only are many more measurements being made, but the sensors themselves are more capable and have better performance, so the end products they help produce are more consistent. "For example, a plastics manufacturer that used to have one thermocouple or sensor at one point of his process may now have six or seven multi-loop controllers, and be able to profile and scan along the entire length of his application," says Johnson.
Temperature, Pressure Evolution
Though basic temperature and pressure sensing methods have remained much the same for decades, RTDs, transmitters and thermocouples also have become more standardized in the past 10 to 15 years, and these sensors have grown more linear, repeatable and accurate, according to Allen Erwin, Yokogawa Corp. of America's (www.us.yokogawa.com) product manager for transmitters. "There's a lot less drift and a lot more long-term stability," says Erwin. "Also, while field-mounted transmitters usually send 4-20 mA or digital signals back to the DCS, the pace of digital is increasing as Foundation fieldbus really began to take hold about five years ago."
Erwin reports that developers have added data-processing intelligence and more sophisticated communications to their transmitters as they've been called on to handle higher-grade products. "Users increasingly need transmitters that don't drift so they can implement smarter diagnostics and SIL-rated safety devices."
Likewise, on the pressure side, transmitters have gone from 0.25% reference accuracy in the 1960s and 70s to achieve 0.05% total performance accuracy in the past 10 to 15 years, reports Scott Nelson, Emerson Process Management's vice president of worldwide pressure products. "Just as 3-psi to15-psi pneumatics gave way to analog electronic instruments, like the Rosemont 1151, these 4-20 mA devices had to make room for faster hybrid communications like HART and all-digital Foundation fieldbus and Profibus. Of course, all the buzz now is about Wireless HART, which will create chances for more measuring points because the costs are acceptable, and because they can fit into places where wire can't physically go. Some users tell us they could increase their device count by 50% by going wireless."
In fact, at a recent IEC meeting in Tokyo, Johnson says he saw a demonstration of a new Type A thermocouple from Russia that uses tungsten and rhenium, so it doesn't drift as much as former tungsten thermocouples. "Different combinations of materials allow control at a little higher temperatures," says Johnson. "RTD developers are pursuing extended higher ranges, too. We've also seen a lot of evolution in non-contact infrared sensors, which are getting more sophisticated, able to do scan and total-image sensing, and are getting more accurate at single-spot sensing. So, they're being used a lot more, but users need more basic understanding to apply them, too."

Posted on October 18, 2013
So, according to legend, this Union general was given the assignment of driving through the Confederate flank and coming up behind the main body of the Southern army. He led his men forward once, twice, and even a third time, only to find that grey flank unyielding.
It was high summer, and he paused after the third withdrawal, pulling out his handkerchief to mop his forehead. Looking up, he spotted a position where the Confederates were not so thickly assembled, and decided this was his chance. Not pausing to look around him at his subordinates or even to draw his sword, he urged his horse forward, calling for a charge and waving his hanky over his head so his men would know whom to follow.
Well, it was a weak spot in the line, and his men did make it through, and the Union won that particular engagement in Georgia that day. A year or so later, when the war was over, the United States Army offered a full-time job as general to the man who dared to charge an enemy position flourishing his handkerchief.
The Powers That Were were modestly surprised to get a "no" from General A.C. McClurg. Seems he wanted to go back to Chicago and sell books. And so he did.
And that is part of the reason, dear children, that sitting just around the corner from the Newberry's Civil War exhibit is a bookstore named for A. C. (Active Cavalry) McClurg. It is not a direct descendant of McClurg's famous bookstore, but there is a picture of him over the entrance, and one of his own personal books is on display there.
Now, one of the famous features of the actual and original bookstore run by the former general was the Saints and Sinners Corner, a spot where men gathered to talk books, swapping lies about the big ones that had gotten away. (They do say that General McClurg fostered the creation of The Caxton Club so all the saints and sinners would go sit somewhere else at least one day a month.) In place of that, we have those two benches out in front of the store, facing those two carts of books for sale from the bookstore.
YES, this is a shameless plug for the books I have for sale. (But what did you think this blog was about anyhow, pumpkin spice fishsticks?) As a matter of fact, I am trying to load them down with scary Halloween titles, even scarier holiday cookbooks (can I eat—never mind bake—all those treats in one two-month holiday season?), books about the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln, and books suitable to a P.G. Wodehouse convention which is being held down in the Loop this weekend. Something for everybody, I hope.
But I would also like to pause and reflect on the saints and sinners who gather there on the bench. I have nothing against 'em, after all. Some are poor folks who were to meet a significant other when that S.O. had finished doing some research, and have now been sitting in the lobby for an hour because the S.O. has gotten caught up in figuring out a blotted word in an old census entry. The carts give them something to do while they await the results of the Rohrshach.
Among other things, they build little Civil War forts on the bench, using the books as blocks. And they take books from the bottom shelves and jam them into the top shelves so no one can pry any other books out. They jam books in any old how and rip dust jackets to shreds, or slide books back onto the shelf backward and upside down, and we had one regular customer who used to take any book that was even slightly risque and sneak it into the store to hide in the children's section.
I'm not saying YOU do anything like that, flounder dumpling. I just thought I'd mention that I may look up that sword that General McClurg had sheathed when he charged the Confederate line and see if I can't find a use for it outside the bookstore named for him.

This week's momentous decision to retire the Crystal River reactor should remind Floridians that one of nuclear power's greatest vulnerabilities comes in the shape of dollar signs.
This week's momentous decision to retire the Crystal River reactor should remind Floridians that one of nuclear power's greatest vulnerabilities comes in the shape of dollar signs.
The $1.4 billion-and-increasing cost of repairing the nuclear power plant's containment wall was a key factor in the decision to throw in the towel. The company's power customers paid for much of the repair effort. They will get some reimbursement, thanks to an insurance settlement, but may not get all their money back, depending on how regulators set rates.
Crystal River — which lies along the Gulf north of Tampa — will be the first major nuclear plant in the Southeast to permanently close, reports the Tampa Bay Times. The reactor has been off since 2009, when the containment building was damaged during an effort to upgrade the 35-year-old facility. The site's coal-fired generators — which contribute to greenhouse-gas pollution and smog — continue to operate.
The case exposes weaknesses in consumer-protection and rate-setting aspects of statewide regulation. Florida's Public Service Commission long has been accused of putting the financial interests of utilities before the pocketbook concerns of customers.
Ultimately, Crystal River also raises questions about the wisdom of Florida's plans for future reactors — one of them proposed just miles from the reactor that is being decommissioned.
Advocates contend that next-generation nuclear power is needed in order to reduce fossil-fuel pollution, which contributes to dangerous climate change. They also say nuclear energy provides a steady source of power with long-term price predictability, unlike fossil fuels.
However, Crystal River's unexpectedly expensive containment-wall problem — some estimates indicated repair costs could have exceeded $3 billion — undercuts the price-predictability argument.
There are other reasons, as well, to question the push for new nuclear plants. Their up-front price (about $24 billion) is so huge that the private sector won't touch such projects without federal guarantees and subsidies, shifting risk onto taxpayers.
The proposals rely on new reactor designs whose long-term safety has not been proved. Reactors produce radioactive waste, for which no permanent storage site has been established.
If an accident occurs, the potential for irremediable loss cannot be dismissed. And decommissioning takes decades and hundreds of millions of dollars.
Other sustainable-energy developments, including solar panels and simple conservation, look smarter in comparison to nuclear.
Duke Energy, a subsidiary of which owns the Crystal River site, reportedly is considering building a new natural-gas-fired plant there.
When a company as large as Duke — whose utility portfolio includes other reactors — decides that a vintage nuclear power plant is too costly to fix, it's a sign industry proponents should not ignore.
They tell us nuclear technology will produce safe, reasonably priced energy. Crystal River says otherwise.

Four-year hunt ends in a cloud of smoke ... and a flood of emotions.
As I hunkered down in a little clover patch with my hands on the antlers of a mature whitetail, I found myself experiencing so many different emotions that nothing made sense. I had been watching and keeping up with this buck for four years, so I was happy and proud — but also sad.
Our hunting place is surrounded by water on three sides, so it has a pretty good natural barrier. It is a big bend in the Mississippi River locally known as Kentucky Bend. It's pretty easy to control access to the one open side.
About eight years ago, we started a management program to improve our hunting. It's pretty simple. We plant food plots so the deer have year-round access to all the food they need. And we don't take 1½- or 2½-year-old bucks.
A buck cannot have a big rack until it's grown, and that means it needs to live to at least 3½. Each club member may take only one buck per season. And, last but not least, we remove plenty of does. It keeps the buck-to-doe ratio closer to the perfect one to one, even though you will probably never achieve that number in a wild herd.
The first time I saw the deer I refer to as Old White Foot, it was a 2½-year-old 9-pointer with four white feet — not stocking feet like a horse, where the white extends a foot or so up the leg, but just very noticeable white hair over and above the hooves. I thought it would be a good idea to try to keep tabs on that buck. That began a four-year period of observing his every habit and movement.
I put out trail cameras and got some good photos, and I videotaped him several times during the winter. I could hardly wait for the next season to see how much change there would be.
I put out cameras in mid-July to try to get an early glimpse of him. In August, I got him on film at a salt lick. Boy, he had really put on some bone!
Finally, time came to sit in a stand, and it wasn't long before I saw Old White Foot with a doe. He had become a 3½-year-old breeding buck — still a 9-pointer, but quite a bit heavier.
I saw him several times during hunting season, and by the late muzzleloader season, he looked pretty rough. We don't have really bad winters here, but looking at him made me realize why a lot of the older bucks die up north where the weather is sub-zero and snow is deep. This buck's rundown body couldn't have survived anything of that nature.
The next year, I put my cameras out to see if Old White Foot had made it through the winter and, if so, how much he had added to his headgear. I was hoping he would be a 10-pointer, indicating the time had come to trade in the camera for a gun. I got a good picture or two before season and decided if I saw him while hunting, he was mine.
I was sitting in my stand the very first day of early muzzleloader season when he eased out to feed, white feet shining. It was the moment of truth. I told myself, "You have plenty of time. Watch him for a few minutes."
As I watched the buck graze, I thought, "Maybe I'll give him another year." Then I thought, "You must be crazy to pass a 145-class buck." But I decided to wait at least until later in the season. I figured I would see him again.
As the fall went on, I filmed Old White Foot again several times. Once he was so close I could have jumped onto his back. Each time I saw him, it was easier to just look and not shoot. So another season came and went with him and his 9-point rack still on the place.
The 2003 season was to be it. No waiting, no looking, no studying. "Shoot on sight" was my game plan. With great anticipation, I put the cameras out and waited for the usual pictures of Old White Foot at his preferred salt licks and food plots. I waited and I waited. Hunting season came and went and I never saw him.
I was sick.
By then I was so obsessed with the deer that no other buck interested me. It was Old White Foot or nothing. He had been so predictable, so visible. At almost any time, I could see him or put out a trail camera and get a picture. I just couldn't believe he had disappeared.
Since I hadn't seen him by the end of the season, I started thinking maybe someone had tagged him. But surely we would have heard about a 5½-year-old buck with a rack in the 150s being taken.
Maybe he'd died after the rut. There are lots of coyotes around, so maybe they pulled him down in his weakened state after the rut. For the next four or five months, I imagined every possible scenario. I even thought that maybe a tug boat might have run over him as he crossed the river.
At least hoping that he was still around, I started to work on a plan that would increase my chance of seeing him the next season. There's an area on the hunting place I call The Interior. It's about 200 acres of bodock trees, honeysuckle vines and underbrush so thick you can hardly get through it. The deer love the place, so it is our designated sanctuary for them. I only enter it in the spring to look for sheds.
I figured Old White Foot's core area was in and around The Interior. I thought I'd try to set up three or four stands right at the edge of that jungle. If he moved just a little before dark, I might get a shot, assuming he was still alive.
I found huge 8- to 14-inch rubs and old scrapes everywhere. It just had to be his sign, so I placed my stands. I even waited for a pretty good storm to come through so there would be lots of limbs and treetops lying around to disguise where I had trimmed.
I found a little opening where a couple of big elm trees had died and let the sunlight through to the ground. Grass had grown up in the spot, so I sprayed it with Round-Up. About three weeks later, I planted it with clover. The first rain after planting brought it up, and I had a food plot right at the very edge of the sanctuary. I added a mineral lick nearby and doctored it up with all the "candy" supplements they make for deer. It was a perfect setup.
Everything was how I wanted it, so I stayed out of the area for the rest of the year. If my plan worked, on opening day, I would be standing in that spot with a big smile on my face.
As summer became fall, I was still hoping to get a picture of "my" deer. I got images of some really big bucks, shooters anywhere in the country, but none of Old White Foot.
Then, lo and behold, one week before the season opened, guess who showed up on a trail camera in the little clover patch? It was a good close-up, head-on shot with just enough angle to count 10 dark points.
Imagine how bad I felt the night before opening morning when the weather called for an east wind for the next three days. We don't have three east winds a year here, but that's what we were in for. I hunted other areas, hoping the buck would be moving around. No such luck. The rut was still eight or 10 days away, so I guess he was staying in the thick stuff.
Finally, the wind changed. I was in my stand an hour before daylight, straining to see in the dark. Dawn finally broke, and with it came deer movement, but not the one deer I wanted to see. I stayed there most of the day but saw no sign of Old White Foot. The next few days were the same.
The seasons chugged along, with second muzzleloader season set to start on Dec. 15. The rut was still going, but winding down. I began to think maybe food would be the key to getting a shot, because Old White Foot had to be getting pretty thin by then.
I decided to hunt the clover in the evening instead of morning. I thought he might be in a run-down state, plus he might be hungry enough to move out into the plot a little before dark.
The wind was perfect. Strangely, I was pumped up, even after hunting all those days and not even getting a peep at him. I knew he was out there somewhere. Well, that day slipped by and it was time to go to the cabin. After supper, I took the picture out and looked at it again. Each time I looked at that photo, I would go to bed with the image burned into my brain.
That next morning, I hunted on the river. I filmed a couple of bigger bucks and a bobcat. At about noon, I went to camp for a bite to eat and a cup of hot coffee. After lunch, the temperature started to drop. It was close to freezing, and the sky was as clear as a bell — what a fine day to sit in a deer stand.
Nothing happened for a long time. After a couple of hours, a doe and fawn entered the plot. I watched them feed, and I looked at my watch — 5 p.m. The sun was heading down, and the night chill was in the air.
All of a sudden, a doe came into the plot at a brisk pace, not stopping to feed. I thought that was a little strange. She had gotten out into the open about 30 or 40 yards. About the time I started to think, "Maybe a buck is pushing her," out of the brush popped a rack like I'd never seen before.
Holy moly, what a deer!
I was already looking through my binoculars when he came out, so right off I knew he was a shooter, but the next thing I noticed were those white feet coming up out of that clover as he walked after his sweetheart. "That's him!"
As I brought the muzzleloader to my shoulder, I thought, "You've got one shot and one shot only. It's got to count."
I tried my best to steady my aim by taking rest on the old sycamore tree. I made a sound with my mouth that was supposed to be a grunt, but it didn't come out that way. It was a sound, but certainly not a grunt. The buck paid no attention to it and just kept right on walking.
I put my crosshairs on his shoulder and touched off the shot. With a huge puff of white smoke in front of me, I must have looked like some kind of jumping jack in that tree, trying to see if he was down. Finally, I could see he was standing straddle legged, facing the way he'd come. "Oh no! How could I have missed him at 80 yards?"
After digging through a coat, vest and shirt pocket to find my so-called quick loads and finally getting one open, I was sure he would run before I was ready for a second shot. But I made it. I took rest again and fired. This time when the white cloud drifted away, there he lay.
If you think I was shaken up before, it was nothing compared to how it hit me then. Have you ever tried to climb out of a tree on rubber legs with a violently shaking body and arms? It ain't easy!
When I walked up to Old White Foot, a flood of emotions ran through me. There is no way I can express all the feelings I was experiencing at that moment. I was proud, I was happy, I was nervous, I was sad. That moment has been repeated millions of times in the past, and it must be the same feeling for everyone.
Pretty soon my thoughts turned to next season. I wondered how it would be without the deer I have been keeping up with for so long. Maybe I'd find one of his sons to match wits with so the spirit of the hunt would continue, just as it has since the beginning of time.

My now-departed Byzantine Catholic pastor, however, seemed absolutely oblivious to the Jesus Prayer--he hadn't ever read "Way of a Pilgrim" until I suggested it and loaned him my copy
I think you can say ~ In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and post with charitable and prayerful intentions.
There is an Anglican rosary which is a little different from the Catholic one (less beads, for one thing-- it's that "Catholic-lite" thing ) and for which different prayers are suggested. I've never used it because I don't have the time.
Both are keen to address the question of 'vain repetition'.
(Good grief, the NIV actually got something right ).
Interesting too about the 'locusts' - I'd always heard it was supposed to be the 'locust bean' which I think is also called carob.

The Vulgate has Matt 3:4 as:ipse autem Iohannes habebat vestimentum de pilis camelorum et zonam pelliciam circa lumbos suos esca autem eius erat lucustae et mel silvestreAre you saying that the Greek word relates to any tip or end of a shoot or is there some specific link to the carob fruit, which I understand is called "St John's bread" in some parts of the world? Sorry, I have no Greek at all.Brigid
I've been talking with my protestant friend. She's learning more about the Roman Church. She does have a problem with the Theotokos. Relating to the rosary, she says that we don't need to remind Mary of how great she is, and do Orthodox and Catholics think that we need to praise her to gain her prayers.
Also, I can't really explain to her what intercession is. She rejects the idea of praying with the Theotokos or the saints. She says it is too much like prayer to God. I can't explain if prayer is acceptable to everyone in Heaven, but worship is due to God alone, or if this prayer is somehow different. I'm quite confused now that I think about it.

Preterism is an Admission That Jesus Failed to Return
Exapologist wrote a Blog entry called One of the Main Reasons Why I Think Christianity Is False, concerning the fact that Jesus failed as an eschatological prophet. In the comments section Paul Manata defends a partial preterism eschatology in the comments section, to which I offer these comments:
I believe preterism, or even partial preterism, is a frank concession of the fact that Jesus did not return as was expected from the earliest days of Christianity until recently. It's one thing for skeptics to scoff, it's quite another to see Christians re-invent their eschatology to accommodate this glaring problem.
I had already mentioned on the Unchained Radio program and in a Blog entry how believers read the Bible through the lenses of their present experiences when it comes to the creation accounts in Genesis, women's roles in leadership, and slavery. Both Paul Manata and Gene Cook disputed that they do this. But here is a case where Manata has done just that.
Now here's the question for Manata. Why can he do this with the return of Jesus and I cannot do this with the present day lack of miracles when I read the Bible? Manata reinterprets the historical church understanding of eschatology in light of about 2000 years of experiences, including several recent failed predictions of the return of Jesus in 1974, 1988, and 2000. So why is it illegitimate for me to see the creation accounts in Genesis as myth because of present day modern science? All I did as a former believer was to attempt to reconcile modern science with Genesis, just as he does with the failed bodily return of Jesus.
As an aside, what can be said about Preterism?
Christians can debate what the Bible says about this all they want to. When they come to an agreement, then I'll know which view to subject to criticism. In the meantime let see what can be said about preterism. Preterism places New Testament eschatological fulfillment in and around AD 70 with the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans when the temple with its old covenantal sacrificial system (the heaven and earth of the Jews) was destroyed, and the new covenant with its heavenly Jerusalem (the new heaven and earth of Christians) was inaugurated. Redemption was made complete and the Kingdom was consummated, we're told.
But this new view is puzzling to me, and I have a few questions about it. Just like the Jehovah Witnesses who say Jesus returned spiritually in 1914, my criticisms are similar in kind. [Exapologist has already quoted William Lane Craig's criticisms of preterism in the comments section of his Blog entry].
In the first place, what was Jesus doing before he returned and inaugurated his kingdom in 70 AD? Was he not already reigning over the believer's hearts? If not, then what was he doing? Was there a time between 33 AD and 70 AD when there was no covenant, no promises, no Christian moral standards to live by? Were Christians still living under the Old Covenant until the temple was destroyed? Was Jesus not yet the King reigning over Christians?
In the second place, what is the difference for the Christian in the supposed return of Jesus in 70 AD with the destruction of Jerusalem, if Jesus was already reigning over their lives. Preterists think it made a difference because the temple was destroyed along with their sacrifices, which leads them to say the Kingdom was inaugurated at that time. But according to the book of Hebrews, sacrifices had already ended in Jesus, and the Spirit had already inaugurated the community of Christians by indwelling believers. If Jesus' resurrection is the only proof that Christians needed, then the destruction of Jerusalem should have proved nothing additional to them, as Christians. This would be the case even if Jerusalem hadn't been destroyed! Think about it. If Jerusalem had never been destroyed with the temple and the sacrifices, then what would have changed for the Christian?
In the third place, did the destruction of Jerusalem prove anything to the Jews? Hardly. Did they become Christians? It only shows me that the Biblical God is barbaric in that he unmercifully destroys people for whom he hasn't given enough evidence to believe. The Jewish religion did go through a major change, though. But the Jewish religion was already supplanted by Christianity decades earlier, according to the NT. The Jews just changed their views of sacrifices, much like how preterists are changing their eschatology today because Jesus failed to return. But why should any of these Jewish theological changes matter to Christians?
Lastly, if the Trinitarian God has always reigned over his world, then what difference did it make to the world in general that Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD? Presumably God (Father, Son, & Spirit) never had to ask anyone for permission to reign over his world. The Bible claims he just does, and that he always has done so. It really doesn't matter to God whether or not people acknowledge that he does--he just does. So if preterists are correct that God-in-Jesus started reigning in 70 AD, then who is Jesus now reigning over that he didn't reign over before then? Since his reign has always been over everyone, then it can only mean that he began reigning specifically over Christians in 70 AD. But ever since the inauguration of the church he was supposedly already their king!
So what difference did the destruction of Jerusalem make in the lives of anyone at all with regard to the reign of God-in-Jesus?
