The Tabernacle: Meaning and Function
By Derek Leman, Hope of David Messianic Congregation
The Tabernacle is the glorious tent in which God's shekinah (visible manifestation of his glory and presence) dwelt with the Israelites from the time of the wilderness (c. 1400 B.C.E.) until Solomon built the Temple about 950 B.C.E. The
The Five Names of the Tabernacle
. The Sanctuary: Emphasizing that this was holy space (Ex 25:8).
. The Tabernacle: From a Hebrew word meaning to dwell, emphasizing God's dwelling (Ex 25:9).
. The Tent: Emphasizing the temporary nature of the dwelling (Ex 26:36).
. The Tabernacle of the Congregation: Emphasizing that this is where the people met with God (Ex 29:42).
. The Tabernacle of the Testimony: The testimony is a name for the tablets of the commandments stored in the
Some Thoughts on Christian Typology of the Tabernacle
There is a tendency in Christian interpretation to move from the NT backwards to Exodus in determining symbolic significance for the meaning and function of the Tabernacle. As we will show, it is better to move from Exodus forward, understanding the cross and Messiah from the Tabernacle, rather than vice-versa.
A common Christian typology looks something like this:
. Altar = Christ's redemptive work on the cross.
. Laver/Basin = Christ's work of sanctification, washing of water by the word (Eph.
. Bread of the Presence/Showbread = Christ, the bread of heaven.
. Menorah/Lampstand = Christ, light of the world.
. Incense = Christ's prayers on our behalf.
Sometimes the Christian typology gets very specific in symbolism. David Levy, in his book The Tabernacle: Shadows of the Messiah, for example, says that the altar is made of Shittim (Acacia) wood because it is a "hard, incorruptible, indestructible wood" corresponding to "the humanity of Christ, who came from a root out of dry ground.and was sinless.withstood the fire of crucifixion...and the decaying effect of the grave" (p.28). The flesh hooks used by the priests to move animal carcasses "represented the cruel hands of the men who nailed Christ to the cross" (p.29). The grain offerings were kneaded to represent "the unseen suffering of the Lord at the hand of God the Father" and baked "picturing his intense suffering at the hand of Satan" (p.119). Such super-specific symbolic interpretation raises the question: are we saying that readers in ancient
The Basic Meaning of the Tabernacle
The most important issues in the Tabernacle, understood within Torah and its culture, are the dwelling of God, holiness, purity, sacrifice, and drawing near to God. These themes come from the text, not human imagination, and relate to the culture of
. In front of the courtyard - Anyone can come near.
. Inside the courtyard - Only those bringing offerings or doing the priestly work may enter.
. Inside the tent - Only the priests doing the work of the Tabernacle may enter.
. Inside the Holy of Holies - No one may enter.
This message of the Tabernacle does relate to Messiah. Messiah's death and resurrection are the means which make it possible for man to dwell with God. The idea that man is not capable of being in God's direct presence without purification flows from the Torah into NT teaching. The concepts of purity abound in the Tabernacle. Priests must wash before entering the tent. Sacrificial blood must be dashed against the altar and sometimes in the tent and once a year in the Holy of Holies. The purity laws of
God's dwelling with his people is central to the Tabernacle. The whole
Finally, the Tabernacle is about humankind drawing near to God. God made us in his image and to have relationship with him. The Tabernacle is the place to which the Israelites came for three annual festivals (Passover, Shavuot (Weeks), and Sukkot (Tabernacles) to worship before God and enjoy his provision in a great feast. This too is fulfilled in Messiah, who brings us near to God. Through him, we will worship God in the Age to Come directly and without separation.
The Meaning and Function of the Tabernacle and its Furniture
Altar |
The place where God's fire was maintained (Lev. |
Laver/Basin |
The system for the priests to wash hands and feet before entering the tent. The concept may be that the sins of the people clung to the hands and feet of the priests or merely that the priest's own sins and impurities needed cleansing before entering the tent. The washing of hands and feet in addition to the blood cleansing of the twice-daily offering suggests that specific cleansing is needed when men draw even nearer to God. |
Bread of the Presence/ Showbread |
Twelve loaves represent the twelve tribes. Oil and wine were also placed on the table. This combined with the name suggests that these were kept in God's presence and refreshed weekly as a memorial from the twelve tribes, remembering God's provision of grain, oil, and produce. Unlike other nations, |
Menorah / Lampstand |
Seven branches suggest seven days of creation and God's power. Light is always present in God's glory in Torah. Whereas God's glory dwelt in the Holy of Holies, the light of the Menorah was a symbol of that glory in the outer room of the tent. |
Incense |
God's glory in Torah is always covered with a cloud to protect humankind from God's fatal holiness. Leviticus |
This square box with golden statues of cherubim represents God's throne and footstool. Cherubim are heavenly beings with flaming swords who guard the presence of God, as they guarded the Garden in |
Conclusion and Relation to Messiah and the Cross
The Tabernacle of Israel does relate to the Messiah, but not as a rich source for symbolic imagination so much as a Torah-based revelation of God's ways with humankind. Rather than guessing symbolic connections between Tabernacle details and Messiah, we should look to the Torah itself to understand the Tabernacle and then look to the New Testament to see how Yeshua fulfilled the requirements revealed by the Tabernacle.

Messiah's death was a better kind of sacrifice, cleansing us, not just the sanctuary, so that we can live directly in God's presence (Heb. 9:9-10, 14; 10:4). |

Messiah cleanses us from sin and makes us pure in God's presence. |

text: I already posted in the introductions but then I saw this 40 something section and I felt encouraged that there are others of my own age in the same boat. I only joined today and need a bit of encouragement. I've recently lost my pregnancy, my partner, was bullied out of my job (got another one though!) and I'm in the throes of depression which, combined with my weight gain and long term issues with weight means I am at an all time low and need to start pulling myself out of it. I love how people support one another on this site and there is a lot of positivity and encouragement. I just turned 40 and it has been the worst few months of my life so I thought I'm going to try to turn it around and start again and make my 40s fabulous. I don't really have a support system so I hope to get involved on this site and hope I can encourage others too (if I can do it myself). It feels impossible at the moment but I need to find a way forward. :^:

One of the pleasant aspects of summer in Staunton is watching classic movies on Monday evenings in the beer garden behind Coffee on the Corner.
Coffee on the Corner isn't my coffee place. Overall, I prefer Cranberry's – just down the block and around the corner. The Cranberry's regulars tend to be a bit older and more rooted in the town, whereas the Corner crowd seems more connected to the college.
But I'll give Coffee on the Corner this: On Monday evenings in the summer, it offers free classic movies, outdoors, in its sunken beer garden.
There's even free popcorn.
The Monday night movies aren't anything fancy. The movie is actually projected onto a bed sheet. But you can sip a beer as the evening cool sets in and watch a great flick in good company.
Simple and sweet.
This month, we'll be watching Charlie Chaplin. In July, all five Mondays were devoted to the suspense thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock.
For a classic movie buff, that's hard to beat. For me, it also proved educational. I thought I'd seen a fair amount of Hitchcock in my college days, but I either hadn't paid attention – or my taste have matured with age.
Or perhaps it's simply a matter of watching a movie as it was intended to be watched: from beginning to end, in the evening, as part of an attentive audience.
Quite a different experience from having seen the same movie on TV, late at night, as a sort of soundtrack to whatever's going on in your undergraduate apartment.
Over the past few weeks, I've watched Jimmy Stewart and his leading ladies – the lovely Grace Kelly and the superb Doris Day – outwit villains in Rear Window and The Man Who Knew Too Much.
But the great revelation came with Cary Grant's performance in North by Northwest.
I'd seen bits and pieces of this film before – certainly the climactic scene at Mount Rushmore – but I'd never watched it all the way through. Early on, it occurred to me that Cary Grant – cool, alert, impeccably attired, extraordinarily graceful – would have been the perfect James Bond.
As the plot unfolded, I had the further realization that North by Northwest – released in 1959, three years before Dr. No – had all the essential elements of a James Bond movie.
To be sure, Roger Thornhill – Grant's character – is no secret agent. He's a hard-drinking, twice-divorced advertising man. But he wears beautiful suits, he orders a drink well, and he's irresistible to women.
And when the chips are down, he proves capable of feats of derring-do even 007 would applaud.
For starters, he escapes from a locked hotel room by climbing out the window and along a high ledge to the window of the next room. There, in a Bond-like moment, his catlike entrance awakens a gorgeous blonde who – finding a handsome stranger in her room – tries to persuade him to stay.
The plot of North by Northwest is, like that of most Bond flicks, delightfully improbable. Thornhill finds himself kidnapped by agents of an unnamed foreign power who has mistaken him for an American agent. In his efforts to escape their clutches – and the police, who believe he has committed a murder at the UN building – Grant's character teams up with a very sexy Eva Marie Saint.
As in a Bond movie, Grant can never be sure whom to trust – beginning with Saint. His suspicions, however, do not preclude their sharing a passionate interlude on an overnight train – à la From Russia With Love.
There's a charming, well-spoken villain (James Mason), a deadly henchman (Martin Landau) and several silent, menacing thugs.
There's also a pleasant, but ruthless, head of American intelligence (Leo G. Carroll), who is willing to sacrifice our hero for the greater good.
And there are action scenes, including that hotel ledge, the famous crop-duster scene, some wonderfully acrobatic climbing about Mason's mountaintop lodge, and the unforgettable finale at Mount Rushmore.
Aside from the absence of Q's nifty inventions, every essential Bond trope is there – including, in Grant, a leading man better suited to play 007 than anyone who actually did – including Sean Connery.
There are even familiar faces from 1960s television series inspired by the Bond craze. Leo G. Carroll would go on to play the head of U.N.C.L.E. Grant's lawyer (Edward Platt) would play Maxwell Smart's "Chief." And Landau, Mason's cold-eyed henchman, would be a key member of television's Mission Impossible team.
Younger readers might not remember the television shows – or the incredible excitement which greeted advent of James Bond in the early '60s.
But for those who do – and for anyone with a sense of the Bond film as cultural icon – I strongly recommend an evening with North by Northwest.
Alfred Hitchcock created what we now know as the Bond movie.
We all owe him for that.

Arrigo Brovedani walked alone so that his team Udinese didn't have to when they played Sampdoria in Genova on Monday night. 'Walked' is used in a figurative sense here. Because Brovedani actually drove.
"I just got in the car and went," he said, as if a 500km, five-hour trip from his home in Spilimbergo in the northeast corner of Italy near the Slovenian border, all the way across to Genoa in the northwest was like venturing out to the corner shop to get a carton of milk.
In truth, Brovedani had to be there on business. He works for a wine company and had meetings to attend to in the area. That they just happened to coincide with an Udinese game couldn't have turned out any better.
As an away fan, obtaining a ticket without the much-maligned and controversial tessera del tifoso identity card wasn't easy. Many would rather not go and watch football than get one and forego their civil liberties and be treated with suspicion. Yet Brovedani was undaunted.
He got in touch with his local Udinese fan club for advice, tried to clear a few bureaucratic hurdles, tripped over a few of them, but still got back up again and contacted Sampdoria to see if they might help him watch his team. They were only too happy to oblige. Why? Because Brovedani was the only Udinese supporter coming.
"Usually away from home there are about 80 of us. A lot of us," he told Rai Sport. "I honestly thought I'd find myself among at least five or six."
Alas, he was on his lonesome. "Once I got to the ground I discovered that I was the only [Udinese] fan there. At that point the stewards asked if I wanted to sit in the main stand, but I insisted on going in the away end, seeing as I had paid for that ticket."
And so, Samp's stewards reached for their keys and opened up the 'gabbietta' or little cage that usually holds the visiting ultras.
"When I entered my end and it dawned on me that I was the only one there I shouted: 'Forza Ragazzi'. Antonio Di Natale heard me and said: 'Come down and warm up with us'."
Brovedani, however, knew that he couldn't. He lent on the red railings and draped a flag over them, it's blue background and yellow eagle, the symbol of the Friuli region. "It was cold," Brovedani recalled, "but I consoled myself with a great cabernet that I'd brought with me from Friuli."
Udinese helped warm him up too. Danilo headed in a corner to put Udinese in front after 17 minutes and Di Natale capitalised on a defensive mishap before the half-hour mark to make it 2-0.
Brovedani celebrated wildly, just as he would after the interval when Brkic saved Nicola Pozzi's penalty to ensure his side held on for the win. Curiously rather than shower him with insults, the Samp supporters applauded Brovedani out of respect.
"They were all really very kind," he said. "The stewards offered me a coffee, then directors from Samp's marketing department came over to 'my' end to give me a little present [a match-worn shirt belonging either to Eder or captain Daniele Gastaldello].
"In the end, when I left I met some Samp fans and they offered to take me out for a drink, complimenting me on my passion… I'm just sorry I couldn't have stopped for longer but I had to dash because I had a lot of work commitments over the next few days."
Once identified—and correctly too after La Gazzetta dello Sport initially claimed he was someone else, namely Rino Alzetta a hotel doorman from Monte Carlo—Brovedani has become a cult hero, an icon of tifo, the best representation of support in Italy.
His willingness to stand by his club and on his own if necessary was interpreted by some as an anti-Schettino moment, a reference to the captain of the Costa Corcordia cruise ship who infamously abandoned the vessel which sank off the Italian coastline killing 32 people earlier this year.
Perhaps that's an exaggeration. "Probably if there had been two of us, no one would have made a fuss about it," Brovedani acknowledged. It also helped that the game was broadcast live on TV.
When one Livorno fan, the 66-year-old former Serie A pro Corrado Nastasio made the 1,000km trip from Tuscany to Calabria in order to watch his hometown club play Reggina in Serie B in October, it made the headlines but not to the same extent.
On the one hand, instances like this are heart-warming and romantic. Brovedani and Nastasio are the real Irreducibili, more so than many ultras in their preparedness to go above and beyond for their team with the purest and most honest of intentions. All they wanted was to watch and support their boys.
On the other, it reflects the reality of attendances in Italy. Indeed on the same same day as Brovedani followed Udinese in Genoa, La Repubblica published a study showing how the average crowd in Serie A is just 20,732 with only 48.1% of stadium capacity used. It pales in comparison with the Bundesliga [with 42,257 on average and 86.1% capacity used] and the Premier League [with 35,753 and 94.6% capacity used].
Attendances have fallen in Serie A by 7.8% this year. That figure, however, must be taken with a pinch of salt. Much of it is presumably down to the lowest season ticket sales at Milan during the Berlusconi era, a vast collapse in number, following the departures of Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the summer.
The reasons for low turnouts in Italy are well-documented. The perceived threat of violence regardless of the fact incidents as a whole have declined in recent years have contributed to families staying away.
Others feel that it's more bother than it's worth, and that the ID cards introduced to regulate fans following the tragic death of policeman Filippo Raciti in 2007 infringe on civil liberties, criminalize the innocent and bring unfair suspicion.
Brovedani experienced this on Monday night. "There were also some officers from the Questura who asked me a couple of questions to make sure that I didn't have any bad intentions, but they soon understood that I was a quiet type."
In addition, of course, there's the issue of Satellite TV and by the same token changes in kick-off times but above all the sense that it's safer and more comfortable to stay at home and tune in then watch your team at a crumbling, dilapidated and council-owned ground where the facilities are poor and your view obstructed.
It's not all doom and gloom, though. Juventus have shown the way. Their new state-of-the-art home has, since it's opening last year, been a triumph, proof that if you build it—and it's genuinely a nice place to be—they will come.
Tonight's match with Cagliari in the Coppa Italia, a competition not usually associated with sell-out crowds, certainly at this stage, will be played in front of a full-house, though how much that has to do with it being Antonio Conte's first home game since the end of his ban is up for discussion.
Not every club can afford to go out on its own and build a new ground. Inter have sought Chinese investment. Cagliari fell out with the council and left Sant'Elia for Trieste, causing outrage, and then pitched up at the unready Meccano-like Is Arenas, a farce that amid disillusion and despair at the owner brought the issue into sharper focus.
There's frustration that a law brought in supposedly to facilitate the construction of new grounds is being repeatedly amended; the legislation is now a ready-made excuse for why so little progress has been made on that front rather than an enabling force.
Hosting a major championship might once have provided the necessary spark. That, however, no longer appears to be a likely scenario, at least not in the near future.
Italy bid for Euro 2008, but considering how the decision process regarding its allocation came so soon after the Calciopoli scandal, UEFA couldn't be seen to award it to them. As for Euro 2012, the Italians have a number of suspicions as to why they were snubbed again.
Another bid should perhaps be discounted given the country's current financial predicament and how Italy's bid to host the 2020 Olympics was dropped because prime minister Mario Monti deigned it "irresponsible".
In the meantime, fans will have to endure. In doing so, they could do worse than draw on the spirit of Brovedani, who stood there all on his own, 500km away from home in a rusting gabbietta with only his flag and cabernet for company. Because that's what it means to be a supporter, through thick and thin, good times and bad, wherever, whenever.

If you consider yourself a house head and you don't know the name Showtek, you're fooling yourself. After dominating the hard dance scene, Showtek changed directions moving towards the house scene, bringing with them their serious party-starter banger attitude. They've had massive collaborations with Tiësto, Hardwell, Bassjackers, and their most recent releases, "Cannonball" and "Slow Down," were massive Miami anthems. The duo had a few things to say as we talked about their change to house, their Miami dominance (despite not playing Ultra?!), and what they might have for us next.
So you guys we're just in Miami for and you played a bunch of different events and showcases; what was that like?
The best thing to experience was all kinds of parties. Whether it was a pool party, or some inside shows, and we did about eight shows. We also did our own party, "Showtek and Friends," which sold in out in like two or three weeks, so we were really looking towards that. We had a great time, everyone was going crazy, we played a lot of new tracks. That whole Miami week has been amazing. Like with Ultra, like all of our tracks we're being played multiple times and all day, so the whole Miami week was just one big high for us.
And although you didn't play at Ultra yourself, a bunch of your tunes we're heard all over. "Slow Down," "Crunk" – how did it make you feel to know that your tunes were bonafide anthems in Miami?
Great! We had "Slow Down," "Crunk," "Get Loose" [forthcoming on OWSLA], "Cannonball," and those were played everywhere. It's an honor to have those new tracks being played, but it'd be great to play them ourselves next year.
Definitely and that shouldn't be a problem with the way you guys are going now. You just mentioned "Cannonball" and "Get Loose," two big anthems and also two big collaborations. You've made collaborations with Justin Prime and Noisecontrollers obviously, but also Hardwell, Bassjackers, and Tiësto. With Tiësto you most recently released "Hell Yeah!," but you also co-produced arguably Tiësto's biggest hit in recent memory with "Maximal Crazy." How did that come about?
Well, we met an Ibiza a few year years ago and we did a few other things as well before "Maximal Crazy." When we met we just tried a few things and had this really cool connection, so one day we're just working together in the studio as co-producers; not as Showtek but as Sjoerd and Wouter Janssen. We started and after it came out, we started to work again in the future, so we asked Tiësto to do "Hell Yeah!" with us and after the success of "Maximal Crazy" of course, we felt now it might be time to put our name on it since we had changed genres a little bit as well and we thought it was right do a track like "Hell Yeah!" So we've been working a lot the last two years, and it's cool to do, but now as Showtek, we're going very strong. I think "Cannonball" was the biggest collaboration thus far, and the feedback has been crazy worldwide. It's been top 10 in the Netherlands for 17 weeks, it's been top 10 in Beligum, top 50 in France at the moment; it's been quite mental.
Definitely and you just rattled off a bunch of stats about "Cannonball," so I have to ask how often do you keep up with this info? That was pretty impressive right there. Do you read that daily?
Nah, just working with the label and they keep you informed about what's happening. We're actually working on a re-release for other European countries, because, you know, it's a club track? It was in the Beatport top 10, the iTunes top 10, but then if it becomes a big hit on the commercial charts, and in the Netherlands, it plays about three times a day on the radio. If that happens in the Netherlands, you know it's going to be a bigger banger for all the clubs. Then the label knows that they can do more with the track, and then it becomes big in Belgium, and then Spain, and the label is known for pushing the tunes to the max. It can be heard anywhere in the world and it can be a hit anywhere in the world. And so you know after the club success of "Cannonball," we're focused on new club bangers and in the meanwhile, making more mainstream, airplay, commercial tracks. I think it can be a lot bigger in the States and it's been picked up a lot but, it's not over yet.
And with "Cannonball," "Slow Down" you could say that Showtek has also led the way for a hardstyle-inspired type of house and now Insomniac's Pasquale Rotella recently said he planned to put a hardstyle act on the mainstage and Headhunterz also recently signed to Ultra Music. What do you guys make of that? Where do you see the hardstyle sound fitting in the American EDM landscape?
I don't know because although we came from that harder genre, we've totally focused on something new because we were bored with the scene. There was no more to do, we did everything. We had all the big hits, big festivals, and and we did it for a couple years, partying and all that, but we thought there must be a way of growing bigger. If the sound breaks through and it's big, that's awesome for those guys, but we honestly don't really give a fuck because we're focused on Showtek. Showtek is the main priority. Be it electro, dubstep, or hardstyle, it doesn't really matter, it'll be Showtek. So I hope for those guys it's great, but I think it's going to be a tough job. But who knows?
And you guys toured the US last summer as part of the IDentity Festival. What was that like touring all over the US with other DJs and on the bus?
Yeah, it was a fun experience, bonding. It was a seven-week bus drive, going from city to city. I think we did like 12,500 miles in seven weeks? Cool thing was we had our girlfriends with us and the shows were amazing, crazy. It was a great new experience, and it was very rock and roll with the bus and the crazy driver and it was amazing. We got to share it with our girlfriends and we hope to do it again some day, maybe next year.
If you did it next year, who would you be bring on support?
Ooh well, that's a good question. We're building up a really cool crew right now, like Jordy Dazz and we work with him a lot. Dazz is one of those guys and other guys we support on Spinnin' like TV Noise, but I think Dazz is the biggest name right now we want to work with.
What did you learn about the American scene from that tour?
It's funny because if you compare the States to Europe for example, then the Netherlands, a really big music country, with Italy and you get a big name in Milan or like Madrid and Barca in Spain but it's tough, it's spread out. France is tough, too, it's very spread out. I think in Europe, in the big, big cities it's great, and the rest is like America and Asia.
Favorite stop on the tour?
Miami and New York!
Definitely, two of the biggest markets in the country! And unfortunately I know you guys have to go, but thank you for taking the time with us!

It's a battle of the boozes at Baur's
When I sit down for a fancy four-course meal, I don't ask for too much. Just the basics: maybe some friends, some warm bread....and three separate beverage teams trying to pair each course in a battle royale for my taste buds.
Next Tuesday, Denver will bear witness to what is being called the "First Ever Denver Pairing Competition." The event will take place at Baur's Ristorante at 1512 Curtis Street, with exec chef Corey Cunnihngham putting out four courses for the competitors to work with.
"I really feel badly for everyone trying to out-pair the Avery team," Whitney told me. "In many ways, it's just not fair. Did you know that there are over 500 polyphenols that give beer its flavor? Wines, sake included, have a paltry 300 flavor compounds. I hope you can join us for the whooping our opponents will certainly receive."
The event will be judged by the diners; seats are $60 a person. Ten percent of the proceeds will go to the charity of the winner's choice -- it's Colorado Community Cycles for Avery. To make a reservation, call 303-534-4842.

Is a home equity line of credit tax-deductible?
Q: Is a home equity line of credit tax-deductible?
A: One of the benefits of homeownership is the availability of a tax deduction for the interest paid on a mortgage. If you also have a home equity loan or home equity line of credit, you may also be able to take a tax deduction for the interest paid on that loan.
Home equity loans and taxes
If you took out a home equity line of credit at the time you purchased your home in order to finance the acquisition of the property, such as an 80-10-10 loan with an 80-percent first mortgage, a 10-percent down payment and a 10-percent home equity loan, that mortgage is considered "home acquisition debt" by the IRS. Tax-deductible home acquisition debt is limited to $1 million (or $500,000 if married but filing separately) and you can deduct the interest paid on these loans.
If you took out your home equity line of credit at a later date to make home improvements and it is secured by your home, it is also considered home acquisition debt and is tax-deductible.
According to the IRS, a home equity loan or line of credit taken out for reasons other than to buy, build or improve your home is treated as home equity debt as long as it is secured by your home. Tax deductions on home equity debt are limited to the interest paid on loans up to $100,000 (or $50,000 if married but filing separately).
IRS assistance
IRS Publication 936 addresses the topic of the tax deductibility of a home equity loan and a home equity line of credit with tables and examples that could apply to your personal situation. You may also want to consult with a tax professional to clarify the tax-deductible status of your home equity line of credit.

Hi there,
I am looking for recommendations for a good hedge or screen plant to place along the wooden picket fence at the back of my property. I'm looking for something that will grow in fairly lush and will provide a measure of privacy - there's a synagogue going up behind us and although I think they'll be great neighbors, I would like to screen our yard as much as we can (bye-bye, big empty peaceful field ...) Something that will grow 4+ feet tall relatively quickly would be ideal. I had a landcaping company come in a little less than a year ago, and they recommended Blue Angel Meserve Holllies, which I have disappointed with since the minute they went in. Just too straggly looking for my taste and they haven't thrived - they are looking pretty dead at this point despite pretty good watering throughout this dry summer. We have a one-year replacement warranty so I'm looking to get rid of them and replace them with something a little more green and lush looking. I like the look of some of the laurels (skip laurel and the Otto Luyken laurels) but I'm not sure how appropriate they are. There are already several pretty big trees along the back of the property (two cherries, a white pine, and an Elm tree) so this hedge would be right up against the fence. I would also welcome any advice about perennials that would be appropriate for a big bed where I'm trying to create a cottage gardeny feel. It's at the top of a hill and in fact sits right in front of where I'm looking to plant the hedges. I've had shasta daisies, black eyed susans, and coneflower up there in the past but they're gone now (long story). I think we'll be filling in that bed again next month, so any and all recos are welcome! Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Some people use bamboos, some arborvitae (sp?), I have grasses outside my fence (6-8 ft tall), but it doesn't sound like that would be tall enough for you. There are several varieties of evergreens that are fast growing. What kind of footprint do you have to work with. That would make a difference as to what you can put there. My co-worker has HUGE (30ft tall x 10 ft round) evergreens to screen from a golf course. Hope that helps! Jen |

Brad Evans gets call-up to U.S. national team | Sounders FC
Evans will report to training camp after Sunday's road game against the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Practice notes: Osvaldo Alonso misses another session with leg injury NEW - 1/28, 05:23 PM
TUKWILA — Brad Evans wasn't going to take the call.
The Sounders FC midfielder was busy making lunch Monday when he heard the phone ring. But then he looked to see who was calling.
It was Jurgen Klinsmann, the U.S. men's national team coach.
The news was good, as Klinsmann extended an invitation to training camp later this month ahead of exhibitions against Belgium and Germany, followed by three World Cup qualifiers in June.
Evans, who has seven international appearances, will join the national team after Seattle's MLS road game Sunday against the Los Angeles Galaxy along with teammate Eddie Johnson, who got the call-up last week.
"You always want that call, especially when it's not expected; it makes it even more surprising and special," said Evans, who could be used as a right back with the U.S. team.
Another call-up means the Sounders' roster might get a bit thin in the next few weeks, especially in midfield. Mario Martinez is expected to play for Honduras in next month's qualifiers. Osvaldo Alonso could miss multiple games with a groin injury suffered early in Saturday's win against FC Dallas.
"With Ozzie out now, and Brad missing at the same time, it doesn't necessarily help," said coach Sigi Schmid, "but it's certainly a good honor for Brad and it's a good honor for our club."
Schmid said the call-up means Evans probably won't play for the U.S. national team in the CONCACAF Gold Cup in July. And a strong performance could bring the 28-year-old a step closer to the FIFA World Cup next summer in Brazil.
"That's very, very far off in the future, in my view," Evans said.
First Open Cup
match in Florida
Sounders FC has learned its opponent for the third round of the U.S. Open Cup on May 29. Seattle will travel to face the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the second-tier North American Soccer League for a 4:30 p.m. kickoff. The Rowdies beat VSI Tampa Bay of the third-tier USL PRO, 2-1, Tuesday in the second round.
The Sounders, who would've hosted VSI, will have to travel Monday from Los Angeles to Florida and then back to Los Angeles on May 30 for a June 1 MLS game against Chivas USA.
"It's a nightmare," said general manager Adrian Hanauer. "Now we're trying to travel on Memorial Day Monday, and the stipend that U.S. Soccer provides is going to cover about 20 percent of the trip. So that's a little bit frustrating, but we'll grin and bear it, and grit our teeth, and be where we need to be when we need to be there and play a game."
The Sounders FC U-23s lost a second-round Open Cup game, 3-0, Tuesday to the Charlotte Eagles of the USL PRO.
• Sounders FC forward Eddie Johnson was voted MLS Player of the Week after his two-goal performance in Saturday's 4-2 win against FC Dallas. Johnson has a team-high four goals in league.
• Academy forward Jordan Morris, 18, was called in by the U.S. under-20 national team for a tournament in Toulon, France, starting May 28. The Mercer Island native was one of the standouts of a training camp a few weeks ago. DeAndre Yedlin, 19, was left off the latest roster because he's earning regular playing time with the Sounders. He is still in line to make the roster for the FIFA U-20 World Cup starting next month in Turkey.
• Alonso is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Galaxy, but Schmid said there's a chance the midfielder could be back at Chivas USA. Defender Leo Gonzalez, who was bloodied after being elbowed in the face Saturday, is fine and able to play, according to Schmid. Midfielder Steve Zakuani is still recovering from a groin injury that has forced him to miss four games.
• Members of the Washington Army National Guard were visitors at Tuesday's practice.

Joakim Soria
From BR Bullpen
Joakim Agustin Soria Ramos
(The Mexecutioner)
- Born May 18, 1984 in Monclova, Coahuila Mexico
[edit] Biographical Information
Joakim Soria pitched the third perfect game in the history of the Mexican Pacific League in 2006, following Vicente Romo in 1971 and Jesus Moreno in 1989. He twice has finished second in the American League in saves.
He was signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers as an undrafted free agent in 2001. He debuted in 2002 with the DSL Dodgers East, going 3-2 with a 2.01 ERA in the pitching-dominated league. He also threw four games for the GCL Dodgers, posting a 3.60 ERA and getting no decisions. Soria missed 2003 due to Tommy John surgery and only came into four games for one of the DSL Dodgers before they let him go.
In 2005, Soria pitched for the Mexico City Red Devils, going 5-0 with a 4.48 ERA, primarily as a reliever. It was a high-scoring league and Soria's ERA was better than the average mark of any team in the circuit. He was second on Mexico City in ERA, ahead of ex-big-leaguers like Jose Silva and Francisco Cordova.
Joakim split 2006 between Mexico City and the Fort Wayne Wizards, a San Diego Padres farm club (San Diego owned his MLB rights and Mexico City his LMB rights). With Fort Wayne, he was 1-0 with a 2.31 ERA, 5 hits allowed, two walks allowed and 11 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings over 7 solid appearances. Soria spent most of the season with Mexico City as their closer, getting no decisions, saving 15 and having a 3.89 ERA in 39 games. He tied for 10th in the Mexican League in saves. In the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games, Soria struck out 5 in 3 2/3 shutout innings, saving one game in five appearances as Mexico won Bronze.
That winter, the Kansas City Royals took Soria from San Diego in the 2006 Rule V Draft, making him the 2nd pick. Less than a week later, Joakim threw his perfect game to enter the Mexican Pacific League record books. He was dominating the LMP, going 9-0 with a 1.77 ERA in 11 starts for the Yaquis de Obregón after the perfect game was factored in. He had walked 19 and allowed only 46 hits in 71 1/3 innings, while striking out 73. He was leading the LMP in all three pitching Triple Crown statistics. He won the perfect game 6-0 over the Hermosillo Naranjeros, who featured a defending LMP batting titlist and Jerry Hairston Jr. as the big stars. He threw 101 pitches and fanned nine in the outing.
Soria made his MLB debut on April 4, 2007 for the Royals against the Boston Red Sox. He went 2-3 with 17 saves and a 2.48 ERA in 62 games as a rookie. Soria allowed only 46 hits in 69 innings while striking out 75.
Soria was 2-3 with 41 saves as the closer of the 2008 Royals. He had a 1.60 ERA, giving up just 39 hits in 67 1/3 IP; opponents hit a minuscule .169/.248/.255 against him. He was second in the 2008 AL in saves, behind only Francisco Rodríguez, who played for a much better team. In the 2008 All-Star Game, he was the 12th American League pitcher, between Mariano Rivera and George Sherrill; he worked the 11th inning and part of the 12th without allowing a run.
Soria pitched for Mexico in the 2009 World Baseball Classic, retiring all six batters he faced. He was 3-2, 2.21 with 30 saves for the Royals that season. He struck out 69 in 53 innings. He was 7th in the 2009 AL in saves, between Fernando Rodney and Bobby Jenks. Soria won Mexico's National Sports Award for 2010, after going 1-2, 1.78 with 43 saves for the Royals. He finished second in the league in saves, only two behind leader Rafael Soriano. He received votes for both the 2010 American League Most Valuable Player Award and 2010 American League Cy Young Award. He returned to the All-Star Game for the second time that season but did not appear in the AL's 3-1 loss to the NL.
In 2011, Soria requested that people no longer use his old nickname "The Mexecutioner", writing "How about if we change my nickname to something positive? In support to Mexico to stop all the violence!!!" He posted the highest ERA of his career during the 2011 season, at 4.03, and only collected 28 saves in 60 outings. His strikeout ratio fell slightly, to just under one per inning (60 in 60 1/3 innings), after clearing that by a good margin three of his first four seasons. He was 9th in the 2011 AL in saves between Sergio Santos and Kyle Farnsworth. Ironically, his slow-down came at a time when the Royals were finally beginning to show promise, with a number of good young players establishing themselves. It was particularly true in the bullpen, where youngsters Aaron Crow, Tim Collins and Greg Holland all pitched well, whereas Soria had been used to be the sole bright light in what was otherwise a disaster zone in previous seasons.
In 2012, he experienced discomfort in his elbow during the early part of spring training, and the news from medical specialists was not good. They diagnosed damage to his ulnar collateral ligament, a situation that usually leads to Tommy John surgery, a procedure which was performed on April 3rd by Dr. James Andrews; it was the second time he underwent the procedure, after first going under the knife in 2003. He missed the entire season, then on December 3rd signed as a free agent with the Texas Rangers. he ended up making 26 appearances with the Rangers in 2013, with a 1-0 record and a 3.80 ERA. Closer Joe Nathan left as a free agent after the season, and Soria was given the opportunity to succeed him in 2014. He did very well, with 17 saves in 19 opportunities and an outstanding 42/4 K/W ratio in addition to a 2.70 ERA in 35 games. However the Rangers were ravaged by injuries and had fallen well out of contention by the All-Star break and as a result, one week later, on July 23rd, Soria was traded to the Detroit Tigers in return for prospects Jake Thompson and Corey Knebel. Ironically, Nathan had signed with the Tigers to be their new closer, but was struggling with a 5.89 ERA at the time of the trade.

Salish Indians. (Okinagan: sälst, 'people'). Formerly a large and powerful division of the Salishan family, to which they gave their name, inhabiting much of west Montana and centering around Flathead lake and valley. A more popular designation for this tribe is Flatheads, given to them by the surrounding people, not because they artificially deformed their heads, but because, in contradistinction to most tribes farther west, they left them in their natural condition, flat on top. They lived mainly by hunting. The Salish, with the cognate Pend d'Oreille and the Kutenai, by treaty of Hell Gate, Montana, July 16, 1855, ceded to the United States their lands in Montana and Idaho. They also joined in the peace treaty at the mouth of Judith river, Montana, Oct. 17, 1855. Lewis and Clark estimated their population in 1806 to be 600; Gibbs gave their probable number in 1853 as 325, a diminution said to be due to wars with the Siksika; number of Flatheads under Flathead agency, Montana.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Thelma!
Facts about Thelma
- Breed: Chihuahua
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Thelma's Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Scooter and Thelma were brought to our vet clinic to be put to sleep. You might be wondering why someone would bring these two gorgeous chihuahuas to a vet, to put them to sleep. Something has to be really wrong with them, right? Wrong.
Actually the something "wrong" was wrong with their owner. Not Scooter and Thelma. She decided she just didn't have time for them anymore. So to the clinic they went. Of course, we were called immediately, and committed to taking both these little ones into our care.
Scooter is three years old. He weighs around 4 pounds, just a little guy. When we first saw him in the cage at the vet with Thelma, he was sitting in the back corner shivering. Well I'm not sure where that dog went, but he certainly isn't here. Scooter has completely come out of his shell and loves everyone around.
Thelma hasn't changed. Which is just fine with us, because when we first saw Thelma she stood up and started "pattycaking". Can you get more adorable? She also weighs around 4 pounds and is 6 years old.
These two can go together, or separate. As long as they have a forever home, they will be happy.
The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers.
After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not meet he/she will be adopted to that home.
Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.
Other Pets at Beebe Humane Society's Desperate House Dogs (RI)
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Thelma, a Greenville Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Greenville, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Greenville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Greenville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Greenville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Greenville paves the way for another one to be saved.
