City Council OKs traffic calming process
July 3, 2012
By Christina Lords
The Newcastle Public Works Department now has a new step-by-step process to uniformly address resident concerns when it comes to cars speeding down neighborhood streets or blowing past stop signs.
The Newcastle City Council adopted a "traffic-calming" resolution at its June 19 meeting outlining seven steps the department can take when faced with requests for improvements like speed humps, signage, sidewalks and other options.
In the resolution, residents can begin the process by completing a request for action form, which will be reviewed by the department.
Public Works Director Mark Rigos said that while many residents request large-scale changes like speed humps, other traffic-calming options might be more appropriate and cost effective.
"It's important to know that there is no 'one-size-fits-all solution' to address traffic calming," Rigos said.
The City Council has been faced in the past few weeks with several residents asking for speed humps in Newcastle neighborhoods, and Rigos said it isn't uncommon for residents to contact his department about perceived issues, either.
By having a resolution in place, residents have a specified place to start their inquiries and city staff has a designated approach to dealing with requests for action, Deputy Mayor Lisa Jensen said.
The resolution also offers some flexibility to handle unique situations and varying road and neighborhood conditions, Rigos said. Not all steps need to be taken if they're not applicable to a neighborhood, street or situation.
After a site investigation takes place (if deemed necessary) by staff, the city's public works director will implement a response based on one or more of nine possible solutions.
The solutions are taking no action, limb or tree removal, neighborhood education via a community meeting or letter, additional police presence, speed studies, street sign installation or revisions, painting street markings, hiring a traffic engineer specialist or constructing physical improvements.
Councilwoman Carol Simpson encouraged residents talking to fellow residents to curb traffic issues in neighborhoods.
"I especially like the idea of meeting with the neighbors and working together so we all slow down," she said. "We're all guilty of going too fast through the neighborhoods."
Physical improvements could mean sidewalks, speed humps, bike lanes, ADA ramps or traffic chicanes.
The resolution states large projects more than $3,000 would be considered on a project-by-project basis, depend on budgetary factors, and require approval of the city manager.
"Cost is a big factor, especially when we're looking at putting sidewalks in neighborhoods where the topography is steep on one side and steep on the other side," Rigos said. "It's going to cost a lot more to do traffic calming and sidewalks in that neighborhood … so that's something we have to consider at the Public Works Department for each potential project."

A request for action form is available online at the city's website at www.ci.newcastle.wa.us/rfa_form.htm.

We have been requesting a safer road in our neighborhood for well-over twelve years. The 8400 & 8600 blocks on 118th Ave SE has had two designs proposed & paid for by the City & budgeted for over the year. It is well under residential safety standards. The roadway surface is 14 ft wide on aSIXTY ft City easement.
There has been one death of a child on 118th Ave from a car backing out of a driveway two years ago. There is not room for pedestrians to safely walk with cars on the narrow roadway. It is DANGEROUS!
The City spends the budget on higher profile projects & disregards older neighborhoods that were hear before the City of Newcastle existed

SE 73rd Place is in desperate need of sidewalks. It's the main artery connecting the southwest Newcastle neighborhood to downtown. Cars consistently fly down the hill. Surveying for sidewalks took place months ago, but I don't believe any further action has been taken. Is it going to take an accident before the city will act? Many more residents will be walking down the hill on that road to the new library. Let's put in sidewalks before someone gets hit. Please.
Got something to say?

Apply pressurized media to parts to a Hull Tumble Blast Deflasher
The Hull semi-automatic tumble blast deflasher unit has a coated basket containing (2) guns for applying pressurized media to parts for positive deflashing, less staining. This system is a compact affordable option for efficient and trouble-free deflashing.
Large quantities of small parts can be most effectively deflashed by a tumble blast batch cleaning system. Conventional wheel type machines cannot offer the same versatility, nor handle the extra fine media necessary for the cleaning of very small parts.
Semi-automatic batch tumbling systems from Hull Industries give you the versatility of variable blast impact, variable force, and variable blast direction. They are capable of handling very fine media for thorough cleaning of small holes and slots.
Hull batch tumblers are not re-designed manual deflashers. They are specifically engineered for efficient tumble blast cleaning. Each is a compact modular system, utilizing both a cyclone media separator and a dust collector.
The system shuts down following blowoff, for manual reloading.
We also offer a Low Pro Inline Deflasher and a Rollaveyor Deflasher. Visit our Deflashing Systems page for more information.

Auto-miner DU-K3 (codenamed Duke) is a protectron operating in the abandoned mine site Kittery in Appalachia in 2102.
This section is transcluded from Auto-miner. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.Hornwright Industrial partnered with Atomic Mining Services to produce the auto-miner, in an effort to completely automate their mining operations while retaining only executive staff. The resulting loss of jobs led to large scale union action and attacks by Hornwright's previous human workforce against auto-miner operated mines and Hornwright affiliated sites.
In response to the auto-miner, and in an attempt to show the benefits of a human workforce, Garrahan Mining funded the development of the excavator power armor and challenged Hornwright in a heavily advertised contest, which Hornwright won. DU-K3 (Duke) is one of the auto-miners that needs to be repaired during the quest Lode Baring.

Definition of the object of the site
The site offers Linux IP camera free management software, using artificial intelligence for detection. This software is multilingual, French, English, German.
Alarm system
It is a safety device intended to warn, by a sound or a GSM transmission, the triggering of an alarm.
Video surveillance benefit
Detection of the intrusion before it happens, since the camera is exploring outside strategic areas and artificial intelligence is analyzing the video stream and identifying an intruder. In future releases it will identify the individuals listed.
On Linux
The application will only be available in Linux, this operating system being more suitable for managing multiple video streams.
IP cameras functions
|The IP camera uses a network protocol locally or over the internet to transmit video stream images or commands. The great advantage is to be able to remotely consult a video + sound stream and to solicit certain commands.
IP cameras manufacturer
Non-exhaustive list of IP camera manufacturers:
HIKVISION Chinese manufacturer, offers cameras of excellent quality at low prices.
|Recordings of four different camera schemes and up to 36 different streams.
Recording of multiple streams as desired or in automatic motion detection mode. (free ip camera recording software). Viewing after selecting a date in a calendar, save videos. Allows management including deletion.
Recordings of four different camera schemes and up to 36 different streams. (ip camera capture software)
Recording multiple photos or in automatic motion detection mode.
Uses Deep Learning technology for pattern detection and recognition. Artificial intelligence allows for better discrimination and avoids unwanted triggering in that the focal length of the camera or its position does not distort the image too much. From the quality and definition of the images will depend the result of the detection. If your camera is equipped with an infrared device the detection will be effective.
Visualization with selection by date in a calendar, photos of the recorded video stream.
Send photos automatically when detected to a predefined email address.
Setting for each camera of brightness, contrast ...
Full screen for a selected video stream with return to the previous screen of a single click.
Generation of a log file to facilitate the operation.History of local and remote alarms (with 10 day photo backup) ..
LAN scan for easy installation of each stream (arp, nmap). Sound alarm. PTZ control.
(best software video surveillance camera ip)
(free ip camera visualization software)
Fixed ip address
|With each connection, your ISP automatically assigns you a dynamic IP address, valid for the current connection or for a period of 24 hours. To obtain a fixed IP you must make a request to your ISP. Services are offered on the net to transform your dynamic ip fixed ip.
To connect to an IP video camera from the web it is imperative to have a fixed ip. (no-ip or dyndns.)
Security IP Camera
|It is often question of security of the IP video cameras and one can see indiscreet video streams on the net.
What is it exactly?
Almost all digital intrusions are due to passwords, saved by default in camera settings, unmodified or login /
passwords too predictable.
The admin / 12345 couple is often involved. Just scan IP addresses on a given range to locate cameras and test admin / 12345 for easy access to those same cameras. What about the cameras installed in the bedroom?
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) should be disabled, if possible, after use.
Port forwarding
|To access your ip cameras from the internet network it is mandatory to create a redirection in the interface of your box, so as to indicate on which port and local ip address is your camera. This information is set in the settings of your IP cameras. You can get them in the creation or modification of a video stream, the free video management software, nManagerIPs available on the site under Linux.
Manufacturers provide software to manage the ports and ip address for each camera.
Ip camera connection
|A wifi camera will connect easily, but the price is higher and the security more fragile. In all cases it must be electrically powered.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is not available on most boxes, so connecting an RJ45 cable directly to the Ethernet ports will not be enough, your cameras will not be electrically powered.
A PoE Ethernet switch will allow you to connect multiple cameras and only one cable will be enough to connect the switch to your box.

A magnet middle school, an early college high school and a non-magnet high school in Oak Cliff are among the "most distinct" in the state, according to the Texas Education Agency (TEA), which unveiled its 2016 accountability reports last week.
TEA rates public schools across the state according to how their students' perform on state-mandated tests, better known as STAAR exams. The state not only decrees whether a school "met standard" but also whether it earned any distinctions in several categories. The three Oak Cliff schools are among only 17 DISD schools that earned all eligible distinctions.
A few neighborhood highlights from this year's results:
• Greiner, a hybrid middle school and magnet arts academy, earned the highest possible number of distinctions for the fourth consecutive year. Our neighborhood's other two specialized middle schools — Harry Stone Academy, the middle school counterpart to magnet Harry Stone Montessori; and Rosemont Preparatory, the middle school for Rosemont Elementary dual language grads — also have performed well historically. Harry Stone earned six of seven distinctions this year; and Rosemont earned all eligible distinctions last year. (That applies only to the middle schools, however; the elementaries didn't perform nearly as well.)
• Two area high schools — Trinidad Garza Early College and Molina — also achieved the highest number of distinctions. Garza has a track record of performing at the highest level, but for Molina this is a first — the culmination of what looks to be steady progress for the last four years. Molina is also one of only eight non-magnet DISD schools to achieve this status and one of only two non-magnet high schools; East Dallas' Woodrow Wilson High School was the other. Sunset High School was another high performer, earning six of seven distinctions and another example of steady growth. Perhaps new principal Claudia Vega can keep the momentum going.
• None of our neighborhood elementary schools earned full distinctions, either this year or in prior years, but Botello, Bowie and Kahn elementaries all came very close this year.

Chevron Belts
Textile Belts
Certain situations require our clients to transport their bulk material at steep inclinations. In such cases it is important to protect the material from slipping back down the conveyor line as it would not only prevent the material from reaching its destination but also cause a risk of damage and harm to the conveyor as well as the personnel around it. Thus, ContiTech IMAS is providing profiled belts, Chevron Belts. The V-pattern on the surface of the belt protects the conveyed material from slipping back.
We are offering our Chevron Belts in different widths. In addition, two heights of the V-profile are available, 15 mm and 30 mm, in order to service the conveying of various kinds of materials at the required inclinations.

It was only once I really understood that my sword was effectively represented in three dimensional space and that I should treat it as such by winding up and moving my "body†along with it that two things happened: 1. My KDR shot up, 2. I suddenly wanted to write about this game on our front page.
I don't know if this is so much a review as it is just a little chatter about "indie†developers Torn Banner Studios and their Chivalry: Medieval Warfare game that's recently hit Steam, you see, I think it's interesting on a few levels:
You'll find game play examples/videos in a lot of places and I'd encourage you to check out a video first anyway, but in a nutshell: it's a melee combat game: swords, shields, bows, arrows, a lot of yelling, decapitation, bashing and, of course, a medieval setting. Certainly one can draw similarities  to titles like Pirates Vikings Knights, Mount and Blade, Dark Messiah, the recently released War of the Roses and even smaller releases like Zeno Clash and the original Age of Chivalry (HL2) mod that this is based on. With different game modes like Free For All, Team Death Match and Team Objective (which includes some pretty awesome objectives including killing royal families, pushing carts with disease-ridden bodies, breaking down castle walls with rams, etc) it's already a pretty compelling buy if you like the idea of putting on your chain mail and learning some new moves against online opponents; the setting is right, the sounds and overall feeling make for a cathartic experience and the price is right.
Now don't go plopping down that hard-earned cash yet, if you're expecting a triple-A polished release then you might have to look elsewhere (and please tell me where you find these releases) you won't be looking hard to find some bugs and some user interface issues to top off the fact that your ping really matters in a game like this. You might even be turned off by the fact that friendly fire is enabled and there's no way to punish users abusing this..
..but if you are willing to put up with some of these things you may just find yourself embracing them. Personally speaking, I like that TK is on, it makes the whole game more.. hardcore! – you've got to really learn the length of your blade and how to swing it else you'll not just suffer the embarrassment but you'll likely be robbing your team of momentum – have no doubt: there's a lot of clashing in this and numbers count. This game gives you so many tactical choices, coupled with deeper options for body movement you'll find yourself developing combos that may have you feint an attack, dash to the side and stab stab stab, or put up your shield, bash, overhead swing, kick, stab stab.  Either way, you'll be locked in to some tense, timing-oriented fights that will challenge your hand-eye coordination as well as make you groan when someone runs up behind you to give you a brutal taste of cold steel.
However I also find the fact that the game exists at all is almost as interesting as the game itself. As kickstarter begins to get gently bashed for its long-term project failures here we have a title that's come out and delivered with 2,000+ backers and raising $35k more than the $50k initial goal. In these dying days of game modding is it possible that we've got one in a hopeful series of winning new approaches to delivering new gaming experiences based on tiny budgets, user support and a whole lot of passion? Â Is this what "mod development" is destined to become?
It's fantastic fun, even if you pick up a 4-pack and play it with three other buddies you'll find yourself wincing and moving about in your chair as you dodge attacks and howl at watching the heads roll. I can only imagine that it'd be even more fun within the clan environment (we've got about 8 people with it so far) and it just cries out for tournament treatment! Given that it's so early in the game also there's a lot to learn which is in and of itself a great equalizer and makes for some great engagements.
The ticking clock will tell as to whether or not this game will stand some of the tests of time; there's no doubt that it provides a unique offering in the world of PC gaming and if you feel like under-20-currency-units is enough for a full day of game play (compared to some big studio releases: it is!) then I'm fairly certain that just exploring the game that way will give you your money's worth and may likely end up being the melee game in your active collection.  You'd also be coming along for the last part of the ride on a kickstarter project further supporting a new game studio which "aims to bring deep passion and full immersion to its games… Focusing on market niches, Torn Banner Studies plans to revolutionize the gaming industry with unique titles, innovation and genre blending ideas.†– that, in some cases, could be worth the price of admission alone if you're interested in seeing more things like this in the future.

Bitcoin holding steady over the highest point ever in the year 2015October 31, 2015 2:15 pm 1 Comment
In my previous post about Bitcoin I said that breaking $300 was important, but that was only important because it's a nice round number and human beings like these sort of things. The actual level that needed to be broken was $304,3 which was the highest point Bitcoin had ever been this year and sure enough it managed to not only break this level, but stay above it steadily for more than 24 hours. As of right now, Bitcoin has not been this expensive in the entire year of 2015 so things are looking rather good!
Unlikely a pump and dump
Given the fact that this rally is happening slowly and steadily makes me very confident to say that we're not dealing with a plain old pump and dump right now. Of course, I could be wrong, but a pump and dump usually happens a lot faster unless the whales are trying a more careful approach this time. Also we shouldn't underestimate the buying power of China because apparently they're the ones mostly responsible for this.
Price manipulation or not, I have closed all of my LONG positions for now because nothing can climb so high without falling down at least a little bit. The candles are indeed getting wider, but that's all the more reason to believe that we are going to max out very soon.
We can see further indication of an imminent correction by looking at RSI which is currently showing a strong overbought market at 87.8%.
Highest value in 2015
Throughout the year we have witnessed Bitcoin climb from $230-$250 lows up to $300 and coming back down again. This happened on two previous occasions until finally in October 2015 we managed to break the old barriers and stay afloat above the highest point from July. As of right now Bitcoin's value is the highest it has ever been this whole year.
Big expectations
A lot of investors from Bitcointalk.org are being overly optimistic about the current price movement and are throwing around numbers as big as $500, $600 and even higher. I unfortunately don't share that enthusiasm because I can't simply ignore all the technical analysis data which is showing the current price increase as nothing more but a mere correction in an overall down trend when looked at from the 1W and 1M time scales.
It is my estimate that if indeed we continue the bullish run, it won't reach higher than $450-$475 before coming back down again hard.
Only one thing can change my estimate and that is when Bitcoin can successfully close this week's candle outside the 1W Bollinger Bands which have been contracting since April. We could be dealing with a major breakout should this happen and given that we only need to survive one more day, it's a very likely scenario.
Halving in less than a year
Bitcoin block halving is estimated to take place in less than a year from now and when it happens the rewards from solving a block are reduced from 25 to 12.5 per block. This is significant because it could very well be the end for Bitcoin as we know it. Why?
Because small time miners have been selling their Bitcoin mining rigs and/or switching to other, more easily mined cryptocurrencies for a couple of years now. What do you think will happen if suddenly the reward for solving a block gets halved when it's already barely profitable to mine for most miners?
The most logical thing to happen is that the few miners that we have left are going to dump all their hardware, move to a more profitable crypto currency or quit mining altogether.
When exactly is the halving going take place? Nobody can say the exact moment, but Bitcoin Block Half has a fairly good estimate.

DAENERYSWATCH SOME SECRET VIDEOS OF Emilia Clarke - Daenerys Targaryen
The Dothraki named the comet shierak qiya, the Bleeding Star. The old men muttered that it omened ill, but Daenerys Targaryen had seen it first on the night she had burned Khal Drogo, the night her dragons had awakened. It is the herald of my coming, she told herself as she gazed up into the night sky with wonder in her heart. The gods have sent it to show me the way.
Yet when she put the thought into words, her handmaid Doreah quailed. "That way lies the red lands, Khaleesi. A grim place and terrible, the riders say."
"The way the comet points is the way we must go," Dany insisted… though in truth, it was the only way open to her.
She dare not turn north onto the vast ocean of grass they called the Dothraki sea. The first khalasar they met would swallow up her ragged band, slaying the warriors and slaving the rest. The lands of the Lamb Men south of the river were likewise closed to them. They were too few to defend themselves even against that unwarlike folk, and the Lhazareen had small reason to love them. She might have struck downriver for the ports at Meereen and Yunkai and Astapor, but Rakharo warned her that Pono's khalasar had ridden that way, driving thousands of captives before them to sell in the flesh marts that festered like open sores on the shores of Slaver's Bay. "Why should I fear Pono?" Dany objected. "He was Drogo's ko, and always spoke me gently."
"Ko Pono spoke you gently," Ser Jorah Mormont said. "Khal Pono will kill you. He was the first to abandon Drogo. Ten thousand warriors went with him. You have a hundred."
No, Dany thought. I have four. The rest are women, old sick men, and boys whose hair has never been braided. "I have the dragons," she pointed out.
"Hatchlings," Ser Jorah said. "One swipe from an arakh would put an end to them, though Pono is more like to seize them for himself. Your dragon eggs were more precious than rubies. A living dragon is beyond price. In all the world, there are only three. Every man who sees them will want them, my queen."WATCH SOME SECRET VIDEOS OF Emilia Clarke - Daenerys Targaryen
"They are mine," she said fiercely. They had been born from her faith and her need, given life by the deaths of her husband and unborn son and the maegi Mirri Maz Duur. Dany had walked into the flames as they came forth, and they had drunk milk from her swollen breasts. "No man will take them from me while I live."
"You will not live long should you meet Khal Pono. Nor Khal Jhaqo, nor any of the others. You must go where they do not."
Dany had named him the first of her Queensguard… and when Mormont's gruff counsel and the omens agreed, her course was clear. She called her people together and mounted her silver mare. Her hair had burned away in Drogo's pyre, so her handmaids garbed her in the skin of the hrakkar Drogo had slain, the white lion of the Dothraki sea. Its fearsome head made a hood to cover her naked scalp, its pelt a cloak that flowed across her shoulders and down her back. The cream-colored dragon sunk sharp black claws into the lion's mane and coiled its tail around her arm, while Ser Jorah took his accustomed place by her side.
"We follow the comet," Dany told her khalasar. Once it was said, no word was raised against it. They had been Drogo's people, but they were hers now. The Unburnt, they called her, and Mother of Dragons. Her word was their law.
They rode by night, and by day took refuge from the sun beneath their tents. Soon enough Dany learned the truth of Doreah's words. This was no kindly country. They left a trail of dead and dying horses behind them as they went, for Pono, Jhaqo, and the others had seized the best of Drogo's herds, leaving to Dany the old and the scrawny, the sickly and the lame, the broken animals and the ill-tempered. It was the same with the people. They are not strong, she told herself, so I must be their strength. I must show no fear, no weakness, no doubt. However frightened my heart, when they look upon my face they must see only Drogo's queen. She felt older than her fourteen years. If ever she had truly been a girl, that time was done.
Three days into the march, the first man died. A toothless oldster with cloudy blue eyes, he fell exhausted from his saddle and could not rise again. An hour later he was done. Blood flies swarmed about his corpse and carried his ill luck to the living. "His time was past," her handmaid Irri declared. "No man should live longer than his teeth." The others agreed. Dany bid them kill the weakest of their dying horses, so the dead man might go mounted into the night lands.
Two nights later, it was an infant girl who perished. Her mother's anguished wailing lasted all day, but there was nothing to be done. The child had been too young to ride, poor thing. Not for her the endless black grasses of the night lands; she must be born again.
There was little forage in the red waste, and less water. It was a sere and desolate land of low hills and barren windswept plains. The rivers they crossed were dry as dead men's bones. Their mounts subsisted on the tough brown devilgrass that grew in clumps at the base of rocks and dead trees. Dany sent outriders ranging ahead of the column, but they found neither wells nor springs, only bitter pools, shallow and stagnant, shrinking in the hot sun. The deeper they rode into the waste, the smaller the pools became, while the distance between them grew. If there were gods in this trackless wilderness of stone and sand and red clay, they were hard dry gods, deaf to prayers for rain.
Wine gave out first, and soon thereafter the clotted mare's milk the horselords loved better than mead. Then their stores of flatbread and dried meat were exhausted as well. Their hunters found no game, and only the flesh of their dead horses filled their bellies. Death followed death. Weak children, wrinkled old women, the sick and the stupid and the heedless, the cruel land claimed them all. Doreah grew gaunt and hollow-eyed, and her soft golden hair turned brittle as straw.
Dany hungered and thirsted with the rest of them. The milk in her breasts dried up, her nipples cracked and bled, and the flesh fell away from her day by day until she was lean and hard as a stick, yet it was her dragons she feared for. Her father had been slain before she was born, and her splendid brother Rhaegar as well. Her mother had died bringing her into the world while the storm screamed outside. Gentle Ser Willem Darry, who must have loved her after a fashion, had been taken by a wasting sickness when she was very young. Her brother Viserys, Khal Drogo who was her sun-and-stars, even her unborn son, the gods had claimed them all. They will not have my dragons, Dany vowed. They will not.
The dragons were no larger than the scrawny cats she had once seen skulking along the walls of Magister Illyrio's estate in Pentos… until they unfolded their wings. Their span was three times their length, each wing a delicate fan of translucent skin, gorgeously colored, stretched taut between long thin bones. When you looked hard, you could see that most of their body was neck, tail, and wing. Such little things, she thought as she fed them by hand. Or rather, tried to feed them, for the dragons would not eat. They would hiss and spit at each bloody morsel of horsemeat, steam rising from their nostrils, yet they would not take the food… until Dany recalled something Viserys had told her when they were children.
Only dragons and men eat cooked meat, he had said.
When she had her handmaids char the horsemeat black, the dragons ripped at it eagerly, their heads striking like snakes. So long as the meat was seared, they gulped down several times their own weight every day, and at last began to grow larger and stronger. Dany marveled at the smoothness of their scales, and the heat that poured off them, so palpable that on cold nights their whole bodies seemed to steam.
Each evenfall as the khalasar set out, she would choose a dragon to ride upon her shoulder. Irri and Jhiqui carried the others in a cage of woven wood slung between their mounts, and rode close behind her, so Dany was never out of their sight. It was the only way to keep them quiescent.
"Aegon's dragons were named for the gods of Old Valyria," she told her bloodriders one morning after a long night's journey. "Visenya's dragon was Vhagar, Rhaenys had Meraxes, and Aegon rode Balerion, the Black Dread. It was said that Vhagar's breath was so hot that it could melt a knight's armor and cook the man inside, that Meraxes swallowed horses whole, and Balerion… his fire was as black as his scales, his wings so vast that whole towns were swallowed up in their shadow when he passed overhead."
The Dothraki looked at her hatchlings uneasily. The largest of her three was shiny black, his scales slashed with streaks of vivid scarlet to match his wings and horns. "Khaleesi," Aggo murmured, "there sits Balerion, come again."
"It may be as you say, blood of my blood," Dany replied gravely, "but he shall have a new name for this new life. I would name them all for those the gods have taken. The green one shall be Rhaegal, for my valiant brother who died on the green banks of the Trident. The cream-and-gold I call Viserion. Viserys was cruel and weak and frightened, yet he was my brother still. His dragon will do what he could not."
"And the black beast?" asked Ser Jorah Mormont.
"The black," she said, "is Drogon."
Yet even as her dragons prospered, her khalasar withered and died. Around them the land turned ever more desolate. Even devilgrass grew scant; horses dropped in their tracks, leaving so few that some of her people must trudge along on foot. Doreah took a fever and grew worse with every league they crossed. Her lips and hands broke with blood blisters, her hair came out in clumps, and one evenfall she lacked the strength to mount her horse. Jhogo said they must leave her or bind her to her saddle, but Dany remembered a night on the Dothraki sea, when the Lysene girl had taught her secrets so that Drogo might love her more. She gave Doreah water from her own skin, cooled her brow with a damp cloth, and held her hand until she died, shivering. Only then would she permit the khalasar to press on.
They saw no sign of other travelers. The Dothraki began to mutter fearfully that the comet had led them to some hell. Dany went to Ser Jorah one morning as they made camp amidst a jumble of black wind-scoured stones. "Are we lost?" she asked him. "Does this waste have no end to it?"
"It has an end," he answered wearily. "I have seen the maps the traders draw, my queen. Few caravans come this way, that is so, yet there are great kingdoms to the east, and cities full of wonders. Yi Ti, Qarth, Asshai by the Shadow…"
"Will we live to see them?"
"I will not lie to you. The way is harder than I dared think." The knight's face was grey and exhausted. The wound he had taken to his hip the night he fought Khal Drogo's bloodriders had never fully healed; she could see how he grimaced when he mounted his horse, and he seemed to slump in his saddle as they rode. "Perhaps we are doomed if we press on… but I know for a certainty that we are doomed if we turn back."
Dany kissed him lightly on the cheek. It heartened her to see him smile. I must be strong for him as well, she thought grimly. A knight he may be, but I am the blood of the dragon.
The next pool they found was scalding hot and stinking of brimstone, but their skins were almost empty. The Dothraki cooled the water in jars and pots and drank it tepid. The taste was no less foul, but water was water, and all of them thirsted. Dany looked at the horizon with despair. They had lost a third of their number, and still the waste stretched before them, bleak and red and endless. The comet mocks my hopes, she thought, lifting her eyes to where it scored the sky. Have I crossed half the world and seen the birth of dragons only to die with them in this hard hot desert? She would not believe it.
The next day, dawn broke as they were crossing a cracked and fissured plain of hard red earth. Dany was about to command them to make camp when her outriders came racing back at a gallop. "A city, Khaleesi," they cried. "A city pale as the moon and lovely as a maid. An hour's ride, no more."WATCH SOME SECRET VIDEOS OF Emilia Clarke - Daenerys Targaryen
"Show me," she said.
When the city appeared before her, its walls and towers shimmering white behind a veil of heat, it looked so beautiful that Dany was certain it must be a mirage. "Do you know what place this might be?" she asked Ser Jorah.
The exile knight gave a weary shake of the head. "No, my queen. I have never traveled this far east."
The distant white walls promised rest and safety, a chance to heal and grow strong, and Dany wanted nothing so much as to rush toward them. Instead she turned to her bloodriders. "Blood of my blood, go ahead of us and learn the name of this city, and what manner of welcome we should expect."
"Ai, Khaleesi," said Aggo.
Her riders were not long in returning. Rakharo swung down from his saddle. From his medallion belt hung the great curving arakh that Dany had bestowed on him when she named him bloodrider. "This city is dead, Khaleesi. Nameless and godless we found it, the gates broken, only wind and flies moving through the streets."
Jhiqui shuddered. "When the gods are gone, the evil ghosts feast by night. Such places are best shunned. It is known."
"It is known," Irri agreed.
"Not to me." Dany put her heels into her horse and showed them the way, trotting beneath the shattered arch of an ancient gate and down a silent street. Ser Jorah and her bloodriders followed, and then, more slowly, the rest of the Dothraki.
How long the city had been deserted she could not know, but the white walls, so beautiful from afar, were cracked and crumbling when seen up close. Inside was a maze of narrow crooked alleys. The buildings pressed close, their facades blank, chalky, windowless. Everything was white, as if the people who lived here had known nothing of color. They rode past heaps of sun-washed rubble where houses had fallen in, and elsewhere saw the faded scars of fire. At a place where six alleys came together, Dany passed an empty marble plinth. Dothraki had visited this place before, it would seem. Perhaps even now the missing statue stood among the other stolen gods in Vaes Dothrak. She might have ridden past it a hundred times, never knowing. On her shoulder, Viserion hissed.
They made camp before the remnants of a gutted palace, on a windswept plaza where devilgrass grew between the paving stones. Dany sent out men to search the ruins. Some went reluctantly, yet they went… and one scarred old man returned a brief time later, hopping and grinning, his hands overflowing with figs. They were small, withered things, yet her people grabbed for them greedily, jostling and pushing at each other, stuffing the fruit into their cheeks and chewing blissfully.
Other searchers returned with tales of other fruit trees, hidden behind closed doors in secret gardens. Aggo showed her a courtyard overgrown with twisting vines and tiny green grapes, and Jhogo discovered a well where the water was pure and cold. Yet they found bones too, the skulls of the unburied dead, bleached and broken. "Ghosts," Irri muttered. "Terrible ghosts. We must not stay here, Khaleesi, this is their place."
"I fear no ghosts. Dragons are more powerful than ghosts." And figs are more important. "Go with Jhiqui and find me some clean sand for a bath, and trouble me no more with silly talk."
In the coolness of her tent, Dany blackened horsemeat over a brazier and reflected on her choices. There was food and water here to sustain them, and enough grass for the horses to regain their strength. How pleasant it would be to wake every day in the same place, to linger among shady gardens, eat figs, and drink cool water, as much as she might desire.
When Irri and Jhiqui returned with pots of white sand, Dany stripped and let them scrub her clean. "Your hair is coming back, Khaleesi," Jhiqui said as she scraped sand off her back. Dany ran a hand over the top of her head, feeling the new growth. Dothraki men wore their hair in long oiled braids, and cut them only when defeated. Perhaps I should do the same, she thought, to remind them that Drogo's strength lives within me now. Khal Drogo had died with his hair uncut, a boast few men could make.
Across the tent, Rhaegal unfolded green wings to flap and flutter a half foot before thumping to the carpet. When he landed, his tail lashed back and forth in fury, and he raised his head and screamed. If I had wings, I would want to fly too, Dany thought. The Targaryens of old had ridden upon dragonback when they went to war. She tried to imagine what it would feel like, to straddle a dragon's neck and soar high into the air. It would be like standing on a mountaintop, only better. The whole world would be spread out below. If I flew high enough, I could even see the Seven Kingdoms, and reach up and touch the comet.
Irri broke her reverie to tell her that Ser Jorah Mormont was outside, awaiting her pleasure. "Send him in," Dany commanded, sand-scrubbed skin tingling. She wrapped herself in the lionskin. The hrakkar had been much bigger than Dany, so the pelt covered everything that wanted covering.
"I've brought you a peach," Ser Jorah said, kneeling. It was so small she could almost hide it in her palm, and overripe too, but when she took the first bite, the flesh was so sweet she almost cried. She ate it slowly, savoring every mouthful, while Ser Jorah told her of the tree it had been plucked from, in a garden near the western wall.
"Fruit and water and shade," Dany said, her cheeks sticky with peach juice. "The gods were good to bring us to this place."
"We should rest here until we are stronger," the knight urged. "The red lands are not kind to the weak."
"My handmaids say there are ghosts here."
"There are ghosts everywhere," Ser Jorah said softly. "We carry them with us wherever we go."
Yes, she thought. Viserys, Khal Drogo, my son Rhaego, they are with me always. "Tell me the name of your ghost, Jorah. You know all of mine."
His face grew very still. "Her name was Lynesse."
"Your wife?"
"My second wife."
It pains him to speak of her, Dany saw, but she wanted to know the truth. "Is that all you would say of her?" The lion pelt slid off one shoulder and she tugged it back into place. "Was she beautiful?"
"Very beautiful." Ser Jorah lifted his eyes from her shoulder to her face. "The first time I beheld her, I thought she was a goddess come to earth, the Maid herself made flesh. Her birth was far above my own. She was the youngest daughter of Lord Leyton Hightower of Oldtown. The White Bull who commanded your father's Kingsguard was her great-uncle. The Hightowers are an ancient family, very rich and very proud."
"And loyal," Dany said. "I remember, Viserys said the Hightowers were among those who stayed true to my father."
"That's so," he admitted.WATCH SOME SECRET VIDEOS OF Emilia Clarke - Daenerys Targaryen
"Did your fathers make the match?"
"No," he said. "Our marriage… that makes a long tale and a dull one, Your Grace. I would not trouble you with it."
"I have nowhere to go," she said. "Please."
"As my queen commands." Ser Jorah frowned. "My home… you must understand that to understand the rest. Bear Island is beautiful, but remote. Imagine old gnarled oaks and tall pines, flowering thornbushes, grey stones bearded with moss, little creeks running icy down steep hillsides. The hall of the Mormonts is built of huge logs and surrounded by an earthen palisade. Aside from a few crofters, my people live along the coasts and fish the seas. The island lies far to the north, and our winters are more terrible than you can imagine, Khaleesi.
"Still, the island suited me well enough, and I never lacked for women. I had my share of fishwives and crofter's daughters, before and after I was wed. I married young, to a bride of my father's choosing, a Glover of Deepwood Motte. Ten years we were wed, or near enough as makes no matter. She was a plain-faced woman, but not unkind. I suppose I came to love her after a fashion, though our relations were dutiful rather than passionate. Three times she miscarried while trying to give me an heir. The last time she never recovered. She died not long after."
Dany put her hand on his and gave his fingers a squeeze. "I am sorry for you, truly."
Ser Jorah nodded. "By then my father had taken the black, so I was Lord of Bear Island in my own right. I had no lack of marriage offers, but before I could reach a decision Lord Balon Greyjoy rose in rebellion against the Usurper, and Ned Stark called his banners to help his friend Robert. The final battle was on Pyke. When Robert's stonethrowers opened a breach in King Balon's wall, a priest from Myr was the first man through, but I was not far behind. For that I won my knighthood.
"To celebrate his victory, Robert ordained that a tourney should be held outside Lannisport. It was there I saw Lynesse, a maid half my age. She had come up from Oldtown with her father to see her brothers joust. I could not take my eyes off her. In a fit of madness, I begged her favor to wear in the tourney, never dreaming she would grant my request, yet she did."
"I fight as well as any man, Khaleesi, but I have never been a tourney knight. Yet with Lynesse's favor knotted round my arm, I was a different man. I won joust after joust. Lord Jason Mallister fell before me, and Bronze Yohn Royce. Ser Ryman Frey, his brother Ser Hosteen, Lord Whent, Strongboar, even Ser Boros Blount of the Kingsguard, I unhorsed them all. In the last match, I broke nine lances against Jaime Lannister to no result, and King Robert gave me the champion's laurel. I crowned Lynesse queen of love and beauty, and that very night went to her father and asked for her hand. I was drunk, as much on glory as on wine. By rights I should have gotten a contemptuous refusal, but Lord Leyton accepted my offer. We were married there in Lannisport, and for a fortnight I was the happiest man in the wide world."
"Only a fortnight?" asked Dany. Even I was given more happiness than that, with Drogo who was my sun-and-stars.
"A fortnight was how long it took us to sail from Lannisport back to Bear Island. My home was a great disappointment to Lynesse. It was too cold, too damp, too far away, my castle no more than a wooden longhall. We had no masques, no mummer shows, no balls or fairs. Seasons might pass without a singer ever coming to play for us, and there's not a goldsmith on the island. Even meals became a trial. My cook knew little beyond his roasts and stews, and Lynesse soon lost her taste for fish and venison."
"I lived for her smiles, so I sent all the way to Oldtown for a new cook, and brought a harper from Lannisport. Goldsmiths, jewelers, dressmakers, whatever she wanted I found for her, but it was never enough. Bear Island is rich in bears and trees, and poor in aught else. I built a fine ship for her and we sailed to Lannisport and Oldtown for festivals and fairs, and once even to Braavos, where I borrowed heavily from the moneylenders. It was as a tourney champion that I had won her hand and heart, so I entered other tourneys for her sake, but the magic was gone. I never distinguished myself again, and each defeat meant the loss of another charger and another suit of jousting armor, which must needs be ransomed or replaced. The cost could not be borne. Finally I insisted we return home, but there matters soon grew even worse than before. I could no longer pay the cook and the harper, and Lynesse grew wild when I spoke of pawning her jewels.
"The rest… I did things it shames me to speak of. For gold. So Lynesse might keep her jewels, her harper, and her cook. In the end it cost me all. When I heard that Eddard Stark was coming to Bear Island, I was so lost to honor that rather than stay and face his judgment, I took her with me into exile. Nothing mattered but our love, I told myself. We fled to Lys, where I sold my ship for gold to keep us."
His voice was thick with grief, and Dany was reluctant to press him any further, yet she had to know how it ended. "Did she die there?" she asked him gently.
"Only to me," he said. "In half a year my gold was gone, and I was obliged to take service as a sellsword. While I was fighting Braavosi on the Rhoyne, Lynesse moved into the manse of a merchant prince named Tregar Ormollen. They say she is his chief concubine now, and even his wife goes in fear of her."
Dany was horrified. "Do you hate her?"
"Almost as much as I love her," Ser Jorah answered. "Pray excuse me, my queen. I find I am very tired."
She gave him leave to go, but as he was lifting the flap of her tent, she could not stop herself calling after him with one last question. "What did she look like, your Lady Lynesse?"
Ser Jorah smiled sadly. "Why, she looked a bit like you, Daenerys." He bowed low. "Sleep well, my queen."
Dany shivered, and pulled the lionskin tight about her. She looked like me. It explained much that she had not truly understood. He wants me, she realized. He loves me as he loved her, not as a knight loves his queen but as a man loves a woman. She tried to imagine herself in Ser Jorah's arms, kissing him, pleasuring him, letting him enter her. It was no good. When she closed her eyes, his face kept changing into Drogo's.
Khal Drogo had been her sun-and-stars, her first, and perhaps he must be her last. The maegi Mirri Maz Duur had sworn she should never bear a living child, and what man would want a barren wife? And what man could hope to rival Drogo, who had died with his hair uncut and rode now through the night lands, the stars his khalasar?
She had heard the longing in Ser Jorah's voice when he spoke of his Bear Island. He can never have me, but one day I can give him back his home and honor. That much I can do for him.
No ghosts troubled her sleep that night. She dreamed of Drogo and the first ride they had taken together on the night they were wed. In the dream it was not horses they rode, but dragons.
The next morn, she summoned her bloodriders. "Blood of my blood," she told the three of them, "I have need of you. Each of you is to choose three horses, the hardiest and healthiest that remain to us. Load as much water and food as your mounts can bear, and ride forth for me. Aggo shall strike southwest, Rakharo due south. Jhogo, you are to follow shierak qiya on southeast."
"What shall we seek, Khaleesi?" asked Jhogo.
"Whatever there is," Dany answered. "Seek for other cities, living and dead. Seek for caravans and people. Seek for rivers and lakes and the great salt sea. Find how far this waste extends before us, and what lies on the other side. When I leave this place, I do not mean to strike out blind again. I will know where I am bound, and how best to get there."
And so they went, the bells in their hair ringing softly, while Dany settled down with her small band of survivors in the place they named Vaes Tolorro, the city of bones. Day followed night followed day. Women harvested fruit from the gardens of the dead. Men groomed their mounts and mended saddles, stirrups, and shoes. Children wandered the twisty alleys and found old bronze coins and bits of purple glass and stone flagons with handles carved like snakes. One woman was stung by a red scorpion, but hers was the only death. The horses began to put on some flesh. Dany tended Ser Jorah's wound herself, and it began to heal.
Rakharo was the first to return. Due south the red waste stretched on and on, he reported, until it ended on a bleak shore beside the poison water. Between here and there lay only swirling sand, wind-scoured rocks, and plants bristly with sharp thorns. He had passed the bones of a dragon, he swore, so immense that he had ridden his horse through its great black jaws. Other than that, he had seen nothing.
Dany gave him charge of a dozen of her strongest men, and set them to pulling up the plaza to get to the earth beneath. If devilgrass could grow between the paving stones, other grasses would grow when the stones were gone. They had wells enough, no lack of water. Given seed, they could make the plaza bloom.
Aggo was back next. The southwest was barren and burnt, he swore. He had found the ruins of two more cities, smaller than Vaes Tolorro but otherwise the same. One was warded by a ring of skulls mounted on rusted iron spears, so he dared not enter, but he had explored the second for as long as he could. He showed Dany an iron bracelet he had found, set with a uncut fire opal the size of her thumb. There were scrolls as well, but they were dry and crumbling and Aggo had left them where they lay.
Dany thanked him and told him to see to the repair of the gates. If enemies had crossed the waste to destroy these cities in ancient days, they might well come again. "If so, we must be ready," she declared.
Jhogo was gone so long that Dany feared him lost, but finally when they had all but ceased to look for him, he came riding up from the southeast. One of the guards that Aggo had posted saw him first and gave a shout, and Dany rushed to the walls to see for herself. It was true. Jhogo came, yet not alone. Behind him rode three queerly garbed strangers atop ugly humped creatures that dwarfed any horse.
They drew rein before the city gates, and looked up to see Dany on the wall above them. "Blood of my blood," Jhogo called, "I have been to the great city Qarth, and returned with three who would look on you with their own eyes."
Dany stared down at the strangers. "Here I stand. Look, if that is your pleasure… but first tell me your names."
The pale man with the blue lips replied in guttural Dothraki, "I am Pyat Pree, the great warlock."
The bald man with the jewels in his nose answered in the Valyrian of the Free Cities, "I am Xaro Xhoan Daxos of the Thirteen, a merchant prince of Qarth."
The woman in the lacquered wooden mask said in the Common Tongue of the Seven Kingdoms, "I am Quaithe of the Shadow. We come seeking dragons."
"Seek no more," Daenerys Targaryen told them. "You have found them."

One of the original four eyeball masks from underground music and art group The Residents has gone missing in San Francisco.
A similar scenario played out 30 years ago in Los Angeles when "Mr. Red" was stolen from backstage after a performance at the Palace. That one was eventually returned, and the SFPD is hoping the same will happen with "Mr. Blue."
Homer Flynn, longtime collaborator and co-manager of The Residents, reached out to the SFPD recently to report that an attempted delivery to his Haight Ashbury home resulted in a missing irreplaceable artifact.
"Mr. Blue Original has been traveling in a museum show for the past three years," Flynn said via email Friday morning.
In addition to the eyeball mask, the original Residents at the Golden Gate Bridge photo was also in the package. "The eyeball is valued at $100,000. The photo is $20,000. Totally irreplaceable," Flynn said.
After traveling in a museum show called "Spectacle: The Music Video" to Cincinnati, NYC, and Australia, the last stop for the eyeball and photograph was the EMP in Seattle. "It was coming back to me via FedEx from Seattle when it disappeared," Flynn explained.
"Unfortunately no one notified me when the shipment was actually sent in early April," Flynn said, who was in New Orleans with his family when the package showed up at his house. "My best guess is that FedEx left it on the landing of my building and someone took it. I seriously doubt that they knew what was in the shipping box."
Flynn explained, "At this point FedEx still claims to have made the delivery which was signed for, but the signature is 'B Ham.' There's no one with that name in my building and subsequent emails have indicated that no one was here when FedEx claims to have made the delivery."
The four original eyeball masks were made in 1978, and The Residents filmed some of the first ever music videos with them, eventually ending up in rotation during MTV's incarnation in the early 1980s. A new documentary called "Theory of Obscurity: A film about The Residents" which chronicles their more than 40-year career recently showed at the San Francisco International Film Festival. (Full disclosure: NBC Bay Area employee Josh Keppel is a Producer on the film.) The film includes a scene where the Museum of Modern Art in NYC added one of the eyeballs to its permanent collection.
Flynn said he has never had a package stolen from his doorstep before, "but there have been a lot of times when FedEx made deliveries to my building and they put the package on the landing, rang the bell and drove away."
Flynn asked that if you see Mr. Blue, please contact the SFPD.

Sampling and process control systems for coal/biomass fired power plants
Sampling and process control systems for coal/biomass fired power plants
The Automatic Butterfly Damper (ABD) is used to adjust the flow of pulverized coal and bio fuel in feeder pipes between mills and burners.
The flow is adjusted by turning 2 rotatable flaps mounted on shafts. The shafts rotate in bearings which are mounted on brackets fixed to the outside of the feeder pipe safely away from the material flow. The primary shaft is directly driven by an electric motor with gearbox. The movement of the secondary shaft is synchronized by a set of gears.
The ABD has a control panel which sets the position of the flaps based on a 4-20mA current signal. The control panel has a digital display which shows the actual position in terms of area. So 100% (20mA) corresponds to fully open valve and 0% (4mA) corresponds to fully closed. The actual adjustment range is normally limited by a minimum value of 15%.
Mechanical installation of the ABD is simple, since the two flaps are fitted through two oblong openings prepared in the feeder pipe. The mechanical components of the valve unit are housed in two boxes that are bolted on either side of the feeder pipe.

So, I purchased my first piece of latex!
I've only worn these beautiful beautiful gloves twice now and it's already been a wild ride full of lessons. The first time I tried them on I tugged too harshly at the latex and permanently damaged them (yay). Then I convinced myself that I suck and should not be allowed to have nice latex ever. But after gently placing them in a drawer for a couple weeks (so as to not set them on fire or something just as clumbsy) I summoned all of my courage and asked Google for help.
The answer was lube.
No jokes. It takes a lot of lube to slip into skin tight latex clothing without damanging it. And as long as you don't dig your fingers in and pull (it makes me cringe to think back on it) it's actually pretty hard to hurt. I'm so sorry beautiful gloves!
Have you ever worn latex? Personally, I've always been a PVC girl. Even when I was a baby style blogger – I still have that skirt! It's low maintenance, very pretty, and pretty cheap to buy. But it certainly doesn't give that beautiful sucked in, tight feel and look.

Edinburgh's Old Town runs from the Castle in the west to Holyrood Palace in the east, a Royal Mile through 1500 years of history. The rich and varied stories of the Old Town masked the rather stinky reality of Auld Reekie, and using herbs and floral bouquets was an essential way of masking the reality of life the medieval city!
To provide a clean smelling and soothing scent, our candlemakers have combined distilled Lime essential oil with a splash of orange. The combination of citrus fruits offer a warm and sweet sense of close comfort and at 140g this medium size candle provides a wonderful room filling aroma.
A dash of the essence of Italian Basil supplies a fresh and peppery edge to our Old Town candle, making it ideal for everyday use.

text: Commentary on Ephesians 3:14-21 Arland J. Hultgren | 2 CommentsFacebook-twitter-g+-LinkedIN-EmailPrint This section of the letter offers a bit of relief from the heavy theological portions that have been read up to this point.It presents a moment of tenderness, in which the author speaks directly to his readers about his care for them. He speaks of his prayer for his readers, which he does on bended knee. The paragraph begins abruptly with the phrase: "for this reason." But for what reason? It refers to what has been said in the previous paragraphs about Paul's ministry. Paul, like other apostles, had been entrusted with revelation by the Spirit. Specifically, it had been revealed to him that Gentiles, who receive the gospel in faith, are fellow heirs of the promises of God. They too are members of the body of Christ, and therefore they have access to God. "For this reason," the author prays that his readers may be strengthened in spiritual power, love, and knowledge. The content of the prayer being offered is conveyed in Ephesians 3:16-19. Essentially there are four matters for which the author prays for the sake of his readers that they may have: inner spiritual strength the indwelling of Christ in their hearts the ability to comprehend all the dimensions of spiritual realities knowledge of the love of ChristThe third and fourth of these petitions beg for special comment. Ephesians 3:18 reads, "I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth." One might rightly ask here, "Breadth, length, height, and depth of what?" We might picture in our minds all the vectors listed, imagining lines going up, down, side-ways, and beyond us, but in the end we are left with uncertainty as to what is being described. Normally the vectors have to do with the dimensions of physical realities, and so the author might be referring to comprehending the various dimensions of the physical universe. Most likely, the author is using a metaphor to speak of the wonders of a multi-dimensional God, who is a God of power (Ephesians 1:19), rich in mercy (Ephesians 2:4), lavish in his grace (Ephesians 2:7; 3:7), and rich in wisdom (Ephesians3:10). The NIV takes liberty to interpret the verse by adding words to it: "I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ." Here is a good illustration of how "translation" inevitably involves "interpretation" -- for better or worse. In 3:19, the author speaks of knowing "the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge." The expression "the love of Christ" by itself is ambiguous, for it could mean either Christ's love for us or our love for him. The phrase probably means Christ's love for us. To know his love is greater than knowledge itself. The Greek word used here for "knowledge" is gnōsis, and it is likely that the writer is referring to the kind of (spiritual) "knowledge" that, Paul says, can sometimes become puffed up (1 Corinthians 8:1). The section closes with a doxology, giving glory to God (Ephesians 3:20-21). This glorification is "in the church and in Christ Jesus." That is to say, it is within the company of believers in union with Christ that God is glorified. Such glorification is possible because the church is Christ's body (Ephesians 1:23; 4:15-16; 5:30). Christ and his church are deeply and intimately one. That does not mean that the church is Christ's presence on earth, an extension of his incarnation. But it does mean that all who are incorporated into the church by faith and baptism are also in union with him, who is their Lord. Reading this text in English can leave the impression that all those addressed by the pronouns "you" and "your" are singular. But in the Greek text, all of these pronouns are plurals. In other words, the writer addresses the readers as a corporate body. Thus, the four spiritual resources prayed for, and listed above, are to be found, developed, and exercised within the body of believers. At 3:16, however, that pattern is broken by use of an awkward expression. Both the NIV and NRSV translate the phrase eis ton esō anthrōpon as "in your inner being." The RSV has "in the inner man." The phrase refers apparently to the inner being of each person, the cognitive and spiritual aspect of each. But the phrase is placed within a sentence that addresses the readers corporately (the plural "you"). Noticing the plural forms of address in this text is important for preaching on it. While each of those things prayed for are good for the individual, they are particularly appropriate for the church as a whole. In light of that way of thinking, it is possible to develop a sermon that explores three areas of life together in the congregation. First, there is the matter of being strengthened (Ephesians 3:16). For most of us, we are strengthened and sustained by the witness of the company of believers with whom we worship. Beyond that, we are strengthened by the witness of those from the past whom we remember in the cycle of the church year -- including those whose hymns we sing, and those whom we commemorate for their preaching, teaching, and acts of courage in society, based on Christian faith. Second, it is the indwelling of Christ in the hearts of the congregation where love is produced (Ephesians 3:17). Christ cannot be simply a concept or a memory. The risen and living Christ comes to us in Word and Sacrament, and he seeks to find hearts in which to dwell. Where he is, there is love. Third, it is in our life together as Christians that we find ever new vistas and insights into the vast world of God (Ephesians 3:18). If we have time to listen to one another, we discover stories of faith beyond our own. In conversations with others, listening to their prayers, and observing acts of kindness and generosity, we gain understandings of God and the world that we have not known before. Finally, to know the love of Christ surpasses all other forms of our knowing (Ephesians 3:19). That is not to say that knowing other things is irrelevant for the Christian life. On the contrary, to know all we can about our world is important for living well. But to know the love of Christ is not something we can find out there "in the world." Rather, it has been revealed to us by God, who sent his Son into the world. We celebrate that love whenever we gather for worship. God accomplishes all this "by the power at work within us," which exceeds our expectations. For all of this, we give thanks, joining with others in glorifying God forever (Ephesians 3:20-21).Arland J. Hultgren | 2 CommentsFacebook-twitter-g+-LinkedIN-EmailPrint
