Ten Second Review
Chevrolet's little Trax is yet another fun and fashionable small Crossovers model that also aims to be versatile, capable and practical too. It's a likeable little slice of Americana in this growing segment.
All-purpose SUVs come in many shapes and sizes these days. Everything from large, sturdy rock-hoppers to, well, something like this, Chevrolet's small SUV Crossover model, the Trax.
The Trax, like its near-identical design stablemate the Vauxhall Mokka, offers a trendier and more affordable way for a small, fashionable family to get a foothold in the growing soft roading market segment. All so-called 'Crossover' models claim to do that, be they cars like Nissan's Qashqai or Peugeot 3008 that are based on family hatchbacks. Or more compact models like Nissan's Juke or Skoda's Yeti, based on smaller superminis. The Trax sits in the smaller of these two Crossover categories but offers a bit more power and space than you'll find in many of its direct rivals. It's certainly a more interesting alternative to that Focus-sized family hatch you may have been considering. But does it really stack up as a realistic day-to-day family choice? Let's find out.
Driving Experience
This Chevy isn't quite as sharp and wieldy as a rival Nissan Juke - the steering's a little vague for that. It also has a rather firm ride which robs it of the kind of 'big SUV' polish you get in, say, a comparable Skoda Yeti. Having said all that, what the Trax can offer is a decent compromise between these two extremes that I'd expect will adequately satisfy most potential buyers.
Under the bonnet, there are three main engine options, the most affordable, as ever, being the least desirable of the trio, the 2WD-only 115PS petrol 1.6-litre variant. A better bet for petrol people is the 140PS 1.4-litre turbo which is more efficient, quicker, has a better 6-speed manual gearbox and is offered with a four wheel drive option. Diesel buyers get two or four wheel drive mated with a 130PS 1.7 VCDi unit.
The AWD system is one of those fully adaptive set-ups that reacts to the surface you're driving over. So there are no knobs and levers: just a set of sensors that constantly monitor things like your steering angle, the wheel speeds, the throttle pedal position and the engine revs. Based on all this data, the electronic torque transfer device that controls the whole set-up will always know when extra traction is required, at which point it will automatically and seamlessly send up to 50% of the engine's torque from the front to the rear axle.
Design and Build
The Trax is a confident-looking thing with a front end dual port grille that instantly marks it out as a Chevrolet, complete with trademark centre-positioned bow tie badge. Take a seat inside and there's a slightly curious combined LCD and analogue instrument display but a cleanly styled centre console dominated by a multi-function MyLink infotainment screen. This enables you to link in your 'phone and download videos and various apps.
In the back, there's more space than you'd perhaps expect from something based on a car from the Fiesta class, especially when it comes to headroom. The rear seat row also incorporates a 230V three-pin mains power supply - ideal for game-minded kids. As for luggage space, well, there's no high boot lip to negotiate and beyond it lies 356-litres of carriage room. Push forward the split-folding rear bench and the Trax really is spacious, offering a total capacity of 785-litres - or 1,370-litres if you load above the windowline. There's 1.5m of loadbay length and if that isn't enough, then the front passenger seat can fold flat and enable objects of nearly 2.3m long to be carried. In other words, this car is a lot more versatile than it might look.
Market and Model
So, what will you be paying for this small, trendily-styled five-door little SUV/Crossover? Well, pricing lies mainly in the £16,000 to £21,000 bracket. Within that, there's a £750 premium for petrol buyers who want to make the jump from the entry-level 115PS 1.6 to a comparably-trimmed version of the pokier and more efficient 140PS 1.4T. Pricing for the sole diesel variant, the 130PS 1.7 VCDi, starts at around the £19,000 mark, which if you're interested is around £700 more than a comparable petrol 1.4T. Both the diesel and the top petrol variant get the option of AWD for a further £1,500 and buyers of the front-driven diesel can also specify a 6-speed automatic gearbox for a £1,000 premium.
Even the base LS variant comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, auto headlamps, daytime running lights, front foglamps, privacy glass, roof rails, power front windows, reverse parking sensors, a Thatcham Category 1 alarm, air conditioning, cruise control, a trip computer, Bluetooth 'phone compatibility, steering wheel controls for a decent quality 6-speaker CD stereo with MP3, USB and Aux-in compatibility and Hill Start Assist to stop you from drifting backwards on uphill junctions.
Most of the range though is built around the much plusher LT spec, recognisable by its larger 18-inch alloy wheels, skid plates and special door sills. The key interior addition is Chevrolet's innovative MyLink Connected Radio system with its 7-inch colour touchscreen display and Siri speech recognition.
Cost of Ownership
As far as cost of ownership is concerned, it would be fair to call this Trax 'class competitive'. As you'd expect these days, a start/stop system is fitted across the range (though only on manual gearbox models) to cut the engine when you don't need it, stuck in traffic or waiting at the lights. As a result, even the oldest engine in the line-up, the 115PS 1.6-litre petrol unit, returns 43.4mpg on the combined cycle and 153g/km of CO2. As for the 140PS 1.4-litre petrol turbo Trax model, well despite the extra power and weight on offer, the figures are actually a bit better, even if you specify your car with AWD. In that form, the car returns 44.1mpg on the combined cycle and 149g/km of CO2. Get the 1.4T model with front wheel drive and the respective figures improve to 47.1mpg and 139g/km.
Stacking up even better of course is the Trax in 1.7-litre VCDi 130PS diesel form. This manages 62.7mpg on the combined cycle and 120g/km of CO2 - or 57.6mpg and 129g/km in AWD form. Bear in mind though, that specifying a 2WD diesel Trax with automatic transmission will exact a heavy penalty, hitting your fuel and CO2 figures by around 15%.
We live in an ever more curious world. Not for nothing is adventure tourism now accounting for a quarter of all European holidays. Ours is a society in which people increasingly want to try something different. Like a Chevrolet Trax? Perhaps.
This car won't take you through the Serengeti of course, but it'll bring slightly more of a sense of adventure to the school run and makes an appealing second car family choice. Of course you could say the same of most contenders in the Nissan Juke-dominated compact Crossover segment, full of rivals with obvious virtues. But then, this Chevrolet has a few notable selling points of its own, with a decent set of engines, clever infotainment technology and an appearance that's pure, concentrated American SUV.
There are downsides of course, but they're not game-changing ones. It could be better to drive - but it's good enough in this respect for most in its target market. It could be slightly cheaper to buy - but Chevy dealers should be able to help you on that one. Which leaves us with what? A model with an appeal that builds as your interest in it grows. And the latest staging post in Chevrolet's SUV history, a car very much of its time.

I am also a sucker for there raisin cookies, they are thicker and slightly sweeter that cookies I have in other Starbucks, I think they source them locally. Could do with a few more comfy chairs and sofas.

Staff Picks: The Hatred of Music, the Love of Phlox
April 8, 2016 | by The Paris Review
I love music, but I like to hear both sides of an argument, so I picked up Pascal Quignard's The Hatred of Music: ten treatises about the danger in listening. Quignard, himself an accomplished listener, aims "to convey to what point music can become an object of hatred to someone who once adored it beyond measure." In his crosshairs is not so much music itself but the omnipresence of sound, which has, he argues, metastasized into a force of death more than of life. Quignard can be ponderous—you can imagine him plugging his ears at a Selena Gomez concert—but I can't deny the depth of his thinking, to say nothing of his gift for aphorism. ("Everything is covered in blood related to sound"; "Rhythm holds man and attaches him like a skin on a drum"; "Concert halls are inveterate caves whose god is time.") As a kind of lyrical discourse on how we hear, The Hatred of Music belongs on the shelf next to Hillel Schwartz's Making Noise. The second treatise, "It So Happens that Ears Have No Eyelids," offers this: "What is seen can be abolished by the eyelids, can be stopped by partitions or curtains, can be rendered immediately inaccessible by walls. What is heard knows neither eyelids, nor partitions, neither curtains, nor walls. Undelimitable, it is impossible to protect oneself from it … Sound rushes in. It violates." I read those words on the subway, as the train groaned into a turn and EDM bled from my neighbor's headphones. —Dan Piepenbring
Every winter and spring, I receive reams of garden and seed catalogues. Perusing them is, for me, akin to reading a good book and requires that I find a quiet, comfortable spot and consider each page with care. The photographs and copy vary in quality from catalogue to catalogue (I have my favorites), but each nevertheless brings what Katharine White calls "dreams of garden glory." White became The New Yorker's first fiction editor in 1925; three years later, the magazine published her first entry in the "Onward and Upward in the Garden" column, in which she wrote on seed and nursery catalogues, gardening books, and her own amateur attempts at floriculture. Last year, New York Review Books collected her fourteen columns. I recognize myself in much of what she writes: when, for instance, she cannot bring herself to stop acquiring plants or when she feels at once cheated and culpable for a plant's failure to thrive. Mostly, though, I enjoy the moments in which she writes appreciatively of garden life: "Today I'd like nothing more strenuous than to sit still and admire the huge heads of phlox that the wet season has produced in the perennial borders and watch the bees sipping nectar from the poisonous monkshood and plundering the lavender spikes of the veronicas." —Nicole Rudick Read More »

Queen o' the May
May 1, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
The other day, I received the sweetest note from an old neighbor of my family's commenting on the beauty of spring in the town where I grew up. She recalled something I'd done many years ago: "The first year I lived here, you walked up and down the street, perhaps alone, perhaps with a friend, on May 1, to celebrate May Day. Perhaps you left a little bunch of flowers by my door?"
Perhaps I did. In any case, I'm going to guess that I was alone. I can't imagine anyone joining me in this practice. I'd like to say it was rooted in some precocious notion of workers' solidarity, but in fact my touchstone was more Kate Greenaway than International Socialism. (Especially given the maypole and hurdy-gurdy I requested for my eighth birthday.) Read More »
Now in Bloom: Our Spring Issue
March 2, 2015 | by The Paris Review
The cherry blossoms on the cover of our new Spring issue augur the end of winter—even if they're made of paper. They're part of a portfolio by Thomas Demand, accompanied by poems from Ben Lerner.
We also have the first-ever in-person interview with Elena Ferrante, on the art of fiction:
As a girl—twelve, thirteen years old—I was absolutely certain that a good book had to have a man as its hero, and that depressed me … At fifteen I began to write stories about brave girls who were in serious trouble. But the idea remained—indeed, it grew stronger—that the greatest narrators were men and that one had to learn to narrate like them … Even when I wrote stories about girls, I wanted to give the heroine a wealth of experiences, a freedom, a determination that I tried to imitate from the great novels written by men.
And Lydia Davis, on her approach to the short story, to translation, and to naming:
I've always felt that naming was artificial. I've done it. I wrote about one woman and called her Mrs. Orlando, because the woman I based her on lived in Florida. Recently I wrote a story called "The Two Davises and the Rug" because I have a neighbor named Davis and he and I were trying to decide which one should end up with a certain rug, and I was very fond of using that name, even though it wouldn't make much difference to anybody if I called it "The Two Harrises and the Rug."
Plus, Hilary Mantel discusses her Cromwell books and the difference between historians and novelists:
Nobody seems to share my approach to historical fiction. I suppose if I have a maxim, it is that there isn't any necessary conflict between good history and good drama. I know that history is not shapely, and I know the truth is often inconvenient and incoherent. It contains all sorts of superfluities. You could cut a much better shape if you were God, but as it is, I think the whole fascination and the skill is in working with those incoherencies.
There's new fiction by Angela Flournoy, Ken Kalfus, and Mark Leyner, the winner of this year's Terry Southern Prize; a novella by James Lasdun; and poems from Charles Simic, Peter Gizzi, Major Jackson, Stephen Dunn, Susan Stewart, Shuzo Takiguchi, Craig Morgan Teicher, and Sarah Trudgeon.
Mel Bochner, who designed a cover for the magazine back in 1973, is back with a portfolio of thesaurus paintings. And last, there's "Letter from the Primal Horde," an essay by J. D. Daniels about a fateful experience at a group-relations conference.

Walking and Talking

Growing up around wisecracking old relatives, you learn early how to craft a comeback. It doesn't need to be that witty. It doesn't even need to make sense. It just needs to be kind of sassy and really fast, to show you're wise to the game or something.
"Just who do you think you are?" an elderly uncle might demand, inexplicably. Or, "I bet you think you deserve some candy!" In such situations, you can show no fear. When you're a small child, this kind of obligatory badinage is awful. But it's a skill—if you can call it a skill—that stands you in good stead as an adult.
However, even those of us trained to keep our cool in the face of faux-belligerent idiocy are occasionally stumped. Despite my years of experience and calibration, there are, specifically, three situations that leave me mute and baffled. Read More »

ESN(pronounced as separate letters) Short for electronic serial number, a unique identification number that every cellular phone has and is assigned by the specific manufacturer. When a cellular call is placed on a mobile telephone, the ESN is transmitted to a base station, and the number is used to authenticate the validity of the phone in respect to the cellular service the phone is attempting to use. The ESN is embedded within the signal and transmitted each time a cellular call is placed.
In addition to being programmed into the circuitry of the phone's microchip, the ESN typically is found on a label under the cellular phone's battery.

Personal History:
After completing DVM and PhD degrees from school of veterinary medicine at CCS Haryana Agricultural University, India, I began my research career as post-doctoral fellow at Cornell University in 2001 in the field of viral immunopathogenesis where I researched oncogenic viruses of poultry. Afterwards, I transitioned to comparative pathology studying HIV infection using SIV-rhesus macaque model at Tulane National Primate Research Center and later on when I joined Institute of Human Virology as Research Associate in 2007. I began my independent career as Assistant Professor in 2010 with focus on immunopathology and immune therapy in chronic diseases including viral infections HIV, HBV, HCV and cancer. Currently, I lead projects that investigate immune dysfunction during chronic HBV and/or HCV/HIV infections with the goal of informing treatment/vaccination approaches.
Research Interests:
Major research focus of my lab is investigation into mechanisms of immune dysfunction during chronic virus infections. Current projects in the lab investigate lymphocyte immune phenotypes, transcriptional profiles, and functional states that underlie HBV persistence. We are also investigating the role of adaptive immunity in clearance of chronic HCV infection treated with interferon-free DAA therapy as well as relevance of immunity in preventing re-infection in high-risk populations such as HIV co-infected and/or injection drug users.

The book of Haggai is a succinct and focused collection of prophetic oracles and short prose narratives associated with Haggai, a key Persian-period figure who was instrumental in the rebuilding of the ruined Temple of Jerusalem. Haggai linked Temple rebuilding with the hope of God's indwelling presence among the people, spiritually transforming them and commencing a new era with a descendant of David again ruling.
"Haggai" means "(born on the) festival" or "festival (baby)." The prophet's parents likely chose the name because his birth coincided with one of Israel's three yearly pilgrimage feasts in Jerusalem (see Exod 23:14–17). Haggai's name proved apt, for his work accomplished the rebuilding of Jerusalem's Temple as the sacred focus of every Israelite's worship and pilgrimage.
Canonical Status and Location.
The book of Haggai is the first of three postexilic works concluding the canonical collection of the Minor Prophets (the "Book of the Twelve"). It is closely tied to the following book, Zechariah, which also emphasizes Temple rebuilding and hope for a new era. The preceding prophetic book, Zephaniah, points forward to Haggai's restoration of pilgrimage worship (Zeph 3:18–20) and his celebration of a faithful "remnant" (Zeph 3:12–13; Hag 1:12, 14). The major prophetic scrolls of Ezekiel and Jeremiah are also prequels anticipating Haggai. Haggai embraces the theological vision of Ezekiel 37:27–28, and he joins with Jeremiah in wrestling with the fate of the Davidic dynasty (Jer 22:24–30; 23:5).
The only explicit information we have about the prophet Haggai himself comes from the book itself and from Ezra 5:1 and 6:14, which connect his efforts at rebuilding the Temple with those of the priestly prophet Zechariah. Haggai and Zechariah do not directly mention each other and may have operated within separate circles. Since Haggai lacks Zechariah's focus on Temple icons and personnel, he may have belonged to one of the traditional ruling families of the Persian province of Yehud (formerly Judah) rather than to its priestly ranks. His mention both of the political office of the governor Zerubbabel and of his Davidic ancestry fits with this suggestion. The Persian crown had interests in supporting returnees from among Judah's former aristocracy as a means of bolstering stability and tax revenues.
Date of Composition and Historical Context.
According to the book's own explicit chronology, Haggai prophesied from August to December 520 B.C.E., within an early restoration-era milieu of international calm and Persian benefaction. The Persian monarch Darius I had quelled revolts, restored security, and established the Davidic heir Zerubbabel in power in the small province of Yehud (522 B.C.E.). "In the second year of King Darius" (Hag 1:1), preparations for God's reign could begin. The poetic dreams attached to Israel's heritage could begin to assert themselves.
By 537 or 536 B.C.E. an initial returnee group from exile in Babylonia had rebuilt the Temple altar, celebrated a resetting of the Temple foundations (Ezra 3:10–13; 5:16), and revived Jerusalem's sacrificial worship. Progress at rebuilding soon ground to a halt, however, and the Temple project stood on hold for sixteen years. In this era Yehud's overall population was small (ca. 10,850), and Jerusalem's tiny (ca. 500), and the community struggled with a reduced territory, insufficient resources, and poor economic conditions (see Hag 1:9–11; 2:17; Zech 7:7, 14). Moreover, the initial returnee circle experienced tensions both with the inhabitants of the bordering territory of Samaria (Ezra 4:1–3; 6:21) and with the non-deported "remainee" population of Judah (Zech 8:10; Isa 58:4; 59:4; Ezra 4:4–5).
In Haggai's time, however, the new stability under Darius and a new influx of returnees from Babylonia suggested new possibilities. More important, the seventy-year period of exile prophesied by Jeremiah (Jer 25:11–12; 29:10) was nearing completion. Hope for God's epiphany in Jerusalem was rising, if only the Temple could be rebuilt (Hag 1:8, 13; 2:4–9; cf. Zech 8:3).
Literary History.
The literary formation of Haggai appears to have been a relatively straightforward process, with the book reaching essentially its present form through only one major redaction. The compilation of the book likely took place before 510 B.C.E., while Zerubbabel still served as governor (see Hag 2:23). The redactional framework contributed by the editors consists of Haggai 1:1, 3, 12, 13A, 14–15; 2:1, 2, 10, 20.
Haggai's editors shared the perspective of their source material, a perspective linked to the theology of the "Holiness School" (HS) writings of the Pentateuch and the prophecies of Ezekiel. Reflecting Ezekiel (e.g., Ezek 37:27–28), the main focus of Haggai is hope for God's presence in a restored Temple, bringing renown and glory to God (e.g., Hag 1:8). Conforming to God's presence, the land must become holy (Hag 2:10–14; see Lev 11:44; 19:2; 20:7, 26). The same HS traditions are signaled by key idioms in the editorial framework: for example, the phrase "by the hand of" (bĕyad) to express intermediation (Hag 1:1, 3; 2:1; cf., e.g., Exod 9:35; 35:29; Num 4:37), the reference to people stirred up to do the "construction work" (mĕlāʾkâ) (Hag 1:14; Exod 36:2; cf. Exod 35:21, 29).
Structure and Contents.
The book of Haggai anthologizes significant oracles of the prophet as a canonical collection, but it also tells a story with several twists and turns. Encapsulating the dual character of the book, John Kessler aptly terms it a "dramatized prophetic compilation." Precise date formulas organize Haggai into five sections, shaping it as the story of God's authentic, prophetic word overcoming all sloth and launching the Temple's rebuilding in a matter of only four months. Haggai's outline runs as follows:
- I. A Call to Rebuild the Ruined Temple (1:1–11)
- II. The People Begin Work (1:12–15A)
- III. Encouraging the Workers through Apocalyptic Imagination (1:15B–2:9)
- IV. Preparing for Ceremonial and Ethical Wholeness (2:10–19)
- V. Expecting the New Age (2:20–23)
As the five dated sections tick by, God's word through Haggai overcomes various scenarios of resistance, conflict, and discouragement. The story oscillates between reproaches and urgings by the prophet on the one hand and words of comfort and reports of success on the other. The words of comfort in the third and fifth sections of the book uphold God's transcendent perspective and offer an apocalyptic vision that aims to invigorate the people's resolve. Tears in the fabric of creation are opening up, Haggai proclaims, and the light of the messianic era is shining through.
Haggai's vision looked to provoke active responses. He honored a Temple refoundation ceremony and encouraged a discipline of holiness on the part of the people (section IV). He likewise inculcated a spirit of wakefulness on the part of their leadership (section V). Such responses, he believed, would not only help Yehud live into the future but would also begin to transform the present (Hag 2:18–19).
The focus of Haggai's theology is the Jerusalem Temple as the architectural incarnation of God's saving work, the embodiment of God's covenant of holiness. He saw reconstruction of the Temple as the means of living into the new messianic era, which would enjoy the ideals of the covenant. As noted above, the particular covenantal theology of Haggai accords best with the "Holiness School" writings of the Pentateuch and the prophecies of Ezekiel.
The central ideal of the Holiness School and Ezekiel is the indwelling of God's presence, bringing holiness to earth (Hag 2:5, referencing Exod 29:46; cf. Ezek 37:14, 28). God's glory, proximate in the Temple (Hag 2:7), brings an ideal intimate relationship between God, the people, and the natural environment. The Temple becomes a touchstone and springboard of sanctification, opening access to God's elusive ceremonial and ethical wholeness (Hag 2:12), unstopping the flow of agricultural blessings (Hag 1:6, 9–11; 2:19; cf. Lev 26:20, 26), impelling the nations to fall into line (Hag 2:7–8, 22; cf. Ezek 38:21; 39:10), and ushering in messianic harmony (Hag 2:9B; cf. Lev 26:6; Ezek 34:25–28).
For Haggai, the coming to earth of divine glory was to be an apocalyptic event. Just "one moment yet" (NAB), the idiom of Haggai 2:6 specifies, and God will shake the sky and the earth, the sea and the dry ground (also Hag 2:21; cf. Ezek 38:20). The prophet's demographic and economic milieu was gray, but his visions have nothing to do with escapism. Rather, learned study of Jeremiah 25:11–12 and 29:10 left him with little doubt that God's prescribed seventy years of exile were concluding and that God was now coming to Jerusalem (Hag 2:4–7). Rumination on earlier scripture figured centrally in Haggai's radical new imagination about God's imminent work.
Haggai's apocalyptic vision accommodates Persian imperial rule and orients itself on a central shrine and officials in charge. Thus, his action program preparing for God's indwelling belies commonplace modern views of apocalypticism as an ideology of insurrection or an opiate of the powerless. The prophet sees both Temple (Hag 2:1–9) and Persian governor (Hag 2:20–23) as present realities encapsulating God's radical future. Far from an emblem of the status quo, the Temple stands ready to be filled with "glory" (Hag 2:7). The evocative diction here bursts beyond ideas of revolution and riches and echoes specific texts of divine presence (Exod 40:34–35; Ezek 43:5, 9; 44:4).
As God's glory-filled Temple emerges as a reality, excitement about a new ruler mounts (cf. Ezek 34:23; 37:24–25). Temple and Davidic king are a package deal in Zion's promised future (see, e.g., Ps 132), and Haggai insists on holding both together (Hag 2:20–23). To be specific, the materializing of Zion's destiny focuses the prophetic gaze on Zerubbabel, the Davidic governor. On 18 December 520 B.C.E., the veil between mundane history and messianic transcendence parts within Haggai's experience (if only as a fleeting foretaste).
Haggai's allusive language at Haggai 2:23 explicitly reverses Jeremiah 22:24–30. An apocalyptic breakpoint has been reached: the Temple is rising and Zerubbabel, a Davidic scion back in charge, brims with potential. A watershed arrives in his person: transcendence must now overcome the divine moratorium of Jeremiah 22.
Haggai's book presents his apocalyptically oriented program of action as something open and inclusive. From the beginning of the book, the prophet understands the populace as a united entity: "this people" (Hag 1:2). In Haggai 2:4, the prophet addresses "all" the "people of the land" in his call to courage (cf. Zech 7:5). Because he makes no mention of a separate exilic group, Haggai appears to envision a single people of God resident in Yehud. "All" of this people must involve themselves in God's work. As they do so, they become God's faithful "remnant" (Hag 1:12, 14; anticipated by Zeph 3:13).
Haggai's inclusiveness is in keeping with Ezekiel. His key theme in addressing the people of the land, "I am with you, says the LORD" (Hag 2:4), links directly to the concluding verses of Ezekiel 37:15–28, a passage promising the reuniting of all Israelites. Though returnees from exile may have taken a leading role in rebuilding, we have no evidence that Haggai's apocalypticism was narrowly sectarian.
Reception History.
The book of Haggai's brief two chapters have often been of only peripheral interest in Judaism and Christianity, perhaps because of their apparent focus on the circumscribed events of a four-month time frame and on a long-deceased political figure (the governor Zerubbabel). In the modern era, historical critics have disparaged the book for its "arid" preoccupation with Temple, ritual, and past prophecy. Based on Haggai 2:7, some commentators have even made the sarcastic claim that Haggai's chief interest is getting hold of the nation's money. None of this is fair to the book's theology.
Despite the unfair maligning of the book, insightful figures through the history of interpretation have glimpsed something of Haggai's theological depth. Cassiodorus, the fifth-century C.E. monk and statesman, aptly recognized the emphatic power of God's word in Haggai, which cuts through the hardened hearts of the prophet's contemporaries. Augustine of Hippo (354–430 C.E.) appreciated Haggai's ideal Temple shrine as "living stone," arising alongside profound spiritual conversion, ushering in ineffable peace. Ambrose of Milan, Augustine's teacher, emphasized how God's indwelling of the Temple meant vibrant life and the joy of feasting; after all, he noted, Haggai's name means "the feaster." Gregory of Nazianzus (b. 329/330 C.E.) and Gregory the Great (ca. 540–604 C.E.) perceived how Haggai's apocalyptic purview bursts beyond his local circumstances (Hag 2:6). The raising of Haggai's Temple is about God's sovereignty dawning over all realms, the two Gregorys observed; it means the advent of what lies unmoved, unshaken, beyond.
Over the last twenty years scholars have devoted considerable attention to the Persian period, and books from that era such as Haggai have received long overdue attention. At the same time, some contemporary scholarship has become more appreciative of Haggai's new form of canon-conscious prophecy, which apparently drew vitality from Israel's emerging collection of holy scriptures. So it is that the premodern respect for Haggai is reemerging in some quarters.

Massachusetts State-by-State List
It's been a trying season, to say the least, for Boston College, as they ended the year with a record of 12-40, including 4-25 record in conference play. It's also a down year for them in terms of draftable talent, which significantly hurts the overall crop in the state. Holy Cross picks up some of that slack, boasting talent like infielder Mike Ahmed, who shows some power from the right side of the plate.
The highest level talent, however, is concentrated in the high school ranks. Left-hander, Ben Bowden, out of Lynn English High School, is the state's best hope for a top ten round talent, and has shown steady improvement this spring. Catcher, Ryan Summers, checks in as the state's second best high school talent, and is committed to Louisville.

TOP PROSPECTS, GROUPS 1 and 2
GROUP 2 (rounds 4-10)
BEN BOWDEN, lhp, Lynn English
Scouts were immediately pleased this spring when they saw Bowden and noted that he had trimmed down and gotten his big frame in significantly better shape. At 6-foot-4, Bowden now looks leaner and far more athletic. And, his velocity also projects well. He currently sits at 86-89 mph and will bump 90 every now and then. He uses his height well and has done a good job of throwing more strikes this spring. He uses a slow 69-72 mph curveball that he's going to need to tighten at the next level. Bowden is a Vanderbilt commit that could be a selection anywhere in rounds 8-12.

The 3 Variable Funny Test
Their result for The 3 Variable Funny Test ...
the Wit
(52% dark, 35% spontaneous, 32% vulgar)
You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.
I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.
Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion.
You probably loved the Office. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/.

He Will Call You Baby Lyrics
Artist: Cowboy Junkies
Album: One Soul Now
He will call you baby
But will he listen when you cry?
He will call you sweetheart
But always seem apart.
He will tear all your fences down,
Trample all into the ground.
He will call you baby.
She will call you honey
And leave you twisting in the wind.
She will call you darling,
Keep you stunned and wondering.
She will take you to another world
Where the winds of confusion swirl.
She will call you honey.
We should call them lucky
As they watch their babies dance.
Or maybe call them crazy
For even thinking they have a chance.
They will carry her as far as they can
Then abandon her once again,
They will call her baby.
They will call her baby

Vermont utility seeks renewable energy moratorium
JOHNSON — One of Vermont's largest utilities is calling on the state to impose a moratorium on renewable energy mandates.
The board of Vermont Electric Cooperative approved a resolution Thursday seeking a two-year moratorium and formation of a statewide panel that includes customers to develop a renewable energy transition plan.
About a dozen opponents of wind energy attended the meeting at the co-op's headquarters in Johnson, where the resolution was passed.
Co-op CEO Dave Hallquist said the resolution reflects the sentiment of its members who are concerned about finding a balance between rising electric rates and the adoption of greener energy.
Senators voted against a moratorium in the last legislative session. They say they will continue to press for another vote.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Neither of the two top Republican seeking office in Vermont this fall agrees with...

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
The breathability is great, but as you would imagine it's due to the fabric being thin. Not a go to in anything below 20.It retains moisture and can freeze on you. For warm weather it's pretty good.
almost but not quite
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Everythign is perfect about this one except for the fat seam running down the center from your upper lip and down! It's not super uncomfortable, but the seam is noticeable. This would have been perfect perfect perfect if they had made that front face piece seamless! Poorly designed in my opinion. But the fabric and fit besides that is very comfortable and functional!
pretty great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Wore this in 50 degrees and was mad comfy, alwso wore in about 12 degrees and was just as comfy, pizza is rad and so is this mask. buy it
Seam is annoying
The seam placement on the Mask has been already irritating my lips and stuff because the seam comes right over your lips and it would be 10 x's better if it were on the back of my head
Airblaster Ninja Face Balaclava
awesome i look like a power ranger when i'm riding my bike.
Too small
Idk....Maybe I have a big dome but I couldnt even get this thing on short of it smashing my brain and pulling my hair out. I probably could have but I didnt actually get it all the way on because it was just too difficult. These things should slip right on and off with no pain. This thing made me feel like I have a ginormous head which I dont think I do. Ive had many other clavas that fit me fine in the past.
what size hat do you wear? i wanna cop 1 of these but not if its gonna fit like a yamaka
The Mango Ninja
I am the Mango Ninja. Airblaster Ninja Balaclava made me so. If I am feeling less secretive on the hill, I can stretch the eye hole to reveal my mouth and nose. The colour allows my fellow ninjas to find me when I get buried in waite deep pow. That is all
Looks Good
the material has a nice feel on the skin, but when it wets out from high aerobic activity, it takes too long to dry compared to other similar products. this is probably because your material is more dense, and does not have enough air/loft between the synthetic fibers - which would allow the air to circulate better and therefore dry faster. so bottom line.....it works very well as a fashion statement for a Vogue magazine cover, but in the world of athletic endeavors, it fails the test.
Comment flagged as disrespectful. Click here to view.
I've had to wear this only once so far. Really good for cold, windy, snow days. It's nice and thin too, so you can still rock a beanie over it or wear it as is. Two throwing stars up!
just awesome man. awesome.

The Rev. Scott Lashbrook, a youth pastor at Lakeshore Assembly of God in Westfield, also serves as an assistant football coach for the Westfield-Brocton Wolverines.
Today, he will stand before a grieving community and officiate the funeral services for Brocton junior Damon Janes.
Lashbrook got the fortunate opportunity to get to know Janes over the past month through football. And while he didn't get to know Janes like he would have liked to, he has learned more and more this past week as he has been by the family's side.
Article Photos
OBSERVER Photo by Sean Pecuch
A Fredonia varsity student wears the number 25 decal on his helmet Friday. All varsity football players in Chautauqua County wore #25 decals in memory of Damon Janes.
"He was a character," Lashbrook said. "Now I'm getting to hear stories from his parents and from being at the hospital with the family. These stories are of a young man who lived life to the fullest. If someone was down, he would bring them home and give them a hug. Whether he was playing sports or hanging with friends, he enjoyed life. I would love to surround myself with 100 of those. He was a happy kid. He carried a smile around that could light up a room. I wish I got to know him better. He was a special kid, a different young man. Too soon, too quick."
When Lashbrook speaks today, he will speak about the celebration of life and how Janes lived life to the fullest. He will ask all in attendance to carry on Janes' legacy.
"If you see a problem in school, you be the one to go give the hug and you spread joy like he did," Lashbrook said. "I will talk about the commitment to life - carry it on and live life. Spread love. I heard stories about Damon and his hugs, and how it would take your breath away."
The death of Janes has impacted both Westfield and Brocton, and though many are still grieving, Lashbrook has seen the community come together in a positive light over this tragedy.
"You put a need out there, and it's met," he said. "People from America and Canada want to donate money to the family. I've never seen anything like this. As hard as it has been and emotional as it has been, this young man has changed my life. It's a horrible tragedy. I have seen change and a lot of good things. If this community can stick together and lend support for each other and be there, and continue that, this community will never be the same."
The funeral will take place today at the Lakeshore Assembly of God at 11 a.m. Due to the fact the church may not be able to accommodate everyone, there will be a satellite feed of the funeral at West Portland Baptist Church.
Due to high winds, Friday night's scheduled event to light and release sky lanterns at Brocton High School was postponed. The event has been rescheduled to tonight at 8 p.m. The lanterns can be purchased for $3 each, with proceeds benefiting the Janes family.

1992 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class 300E 4dr Sedan
Bought my 300e three years ago with just under 200k on it. Have driven all this time with less than $1500 in repairs. It has been the "go to" car for any of the adult kids when they need it so, it experiences different driving styles. I just gave it to my daughter and her husband as they needed a second car, and at 309,000 miles it is giving them great service. It get 24mpg in mixed driving mostly highway. Body and interior have held up very well as the seats and dashboard have no cracks and the car stays outside in the Oklahoma sun. Second best car I've ever had, with the '81 300SD being the best. I just " upgraded" to the '93 300e. Best cars on the road today.
1992 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class 300E 2.6 4dr Sedan
I just bought my 300E yesterday and I'm absolutely in love with it. I previously owned a 1996 Ford Windstar minivan I inherited from my dad, and I hated driving. With my 300E, driving is my new favorite activity! I love the ride...so smooth! It has 180,000 miles on it right now and I'm hoping for lots more!
Moon roof, leather seats, comfortable smooth ride
Shifts kind of hard when I first start driving it, but easier as the engine warms up
1992 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class 300D Turbodiesel 4dr Sedan
I purchased the car with 255k on it. I have driven it for 3 years now and the mileage now sits at 448k. I once read in one of the snooty Mercedes forums that "the legendary half-million mile diesel is largely urban myth." I expect to go well beyond this number. I don`t baby it either. I sometimes go up to 16k miles between oil changes and pour used vegetable oil right in blending it with diesel in summer only of course. This has had zero effect on performance. A German tank!
33 m.p.g.
I purchased my 1992 300E used with 120,000 miles. If you can not personally perform major mechanical work on this car, be prepared to pay massive repair bills. Also be prepared to love this car with all your heart. It is a smooth riding, classy, wonderful automobile. You will treat her like a dysfunctional child who grows up and needs all kinds of financial support. Because it's your kid, you'll pay the money because you will fall in love with the car. I have put over $10k restoring the car and it doesn't bother me a bit because nothing drives like it/looks like it/runs like it. You can't kill it but you will spend $$$$$ keeping her going. For me...that's okay....for now.
Incredibly smooth ride. Tight steering and handling. Quite interior. Excellent curb appeal. She's a classy old princess...to be sure.
Be sure to put Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S 205/60R15 on your 15 inch rims. The best tire I've ever driven on this car. The car performs better if she's driven/driven/driven. And don't worry about a few oil drops on the garage floor...it's par for the course.
1992 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class 300SD Turbodiesel 4dr Sedan
Somehow, I realized that my car collection was more like a guzzler collection except for my 1998 Corvette. I own a new BMW M5, a 1999 GMC Envoy, a 1988 Mercedes 560 SEC, and a 1994 GMC Jimmy, and I soon realized that nothing had good gas mileage in my garage, except for my motorcycle and Corvette. I was going to buy a Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla, but I am 6'3" and 260 and needed leg and hip room. I discovered the MB 300SD by sheer accident, but wow, I am getting about 500 miles per tankful in the city and 600 or more on the highway. Not bad for a full size luxury sedan. And throw in all of the forums that help with everything except the most difficult of repairs and you cannot lose.
Power inside rear view mirror, power seats that even more the bottom cushion separate of the bottom base. Power headrest. Parking indicators on the trunk and door and trunk power closers.
No heated seats for a car that cost this much money? Shame on you MB!

LUNENBURG A sheriffs department is going to be dedicating a memorial to a deputy who was killed when her cruiser was hit a decade ago.
The Nov. 27 dedication will remember the sacrifice of Essex County Sheriffs Deputy Sheriff Ruby Rainault.
The 54-year-old Rainault was killed Nov. 24, 2003 when the cruiser she was driving was hit broadside a box truck while she was making a U-turn on U.S. Route 2 in Lunenburg.
Essex County Sheriff Trevor Colby says its appropriate to pay tribute to Rainault, the first Vermont female law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty.
