This last week many of you will have noticed a lack of blog posting and the truth is, my schedule has been so busy I seriously haven't had time. In the last two weeks alone I've traveled to Leeds, Manchester and London and I've been busy promoting an event for the company I work for - www.deavenue.co.uk. Besides all of this, as the fashion editor of the Huddersfield University student magazine, I have been busy launching our first issue and preparing for the next one in October.
Unless you're aware of our Yorkshire Lingo, most of the time the 'he' seems to disappear from the end of our 'the' and the magazine has aptly been named T-Hud, playing on true Yorkshire abbreviations and accents.
Friday I attended the funeral of my beautiful Great Auntie Dorothy who died at the good old age of 93. She was like a second grandma to me and I will always have a tear in my eye knowing she will never attend my wedding. She was and will still remain an inspiration to me.
On Sunday I attended Leeds Vintage Fair yesterday and purchased this beautiful 1960s dress. Having had a passion for the 60s since I was a little girl, it has been my dream come true to own a dress from that era that suits me and fits perfectly. I never have good luck when it comes to vintage shopping, I'm usually too short or they never suit me. This dress seems elegant, yet fun and can be easily dressed up or dressed down. For £20, it really is a bargain.
The week finally drew to a close drinking coffee with my perfect Fiance. He endured countless hours of shopping with me as my loan came in and I'm forever grateful for him being there for me all this week.
What have you been up to lately?

For Immediate Release:
A Photo Exhibition at Sundance Film Festival
January 16 - February 15, 2014
Park City, Utah - January, 2014: SPACE is a group exhibition of ten leading contemporary photographers that reconsiders the impact of landscape photography at a time when we are increasingly divorced from the natural world. Photographers presented in SPACE are Lee Friedlander, John Divola, Nan Goldin, Jack Pierson, Juergen Teller, Catherine Opie, Todd Hido, Peter Sutherland, Mike Brodie and Jim Mangan. SPACE will be open daily from January 17 through January 26. SPACE is located at 625 Main Street in Park City, Utah. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, January 16 from 6-8PM; an exhibition party will be held on the night of Saturday, January 18.
SPACE is a consideration of classic landscape photography, and what it means as we increasingly interact with our environments via digital media. SPACE points to the current populist behaviour of capturing the landscape; how nature is observed, fetishized, mythologized and, finally, domesticated in photography today. In a time when we are constantly staring at screens that are inches in front of our faces, SPACE takes a step back to consider natural landscapes, and their reintroduction into our culture's visual dialogue. Photographing nature in America has a long and storied history, starting with Ansel Adams and Edward Weston and ending with the #sunsetporn in our phones. Each of the works in SPACE interacts with this tradition; capturing monumental mountain ranges, flaming sunsets and personified plants as well as the individual's current relationship with and in nature. Moreover, the notion of space as a signifier of personal freedom has long been a defining component of the myth of the American West. To quote Owen Wilson in the American classic film Armageddon, "Dude, we're in space. Not outerspace… but SPACE."

Austyn has been interested in the Titanic. One evening before bed he decided to make the Titanic out of Lego. He spent about an hour on it that night and when he got up in the morning he spent a couple more hours. This was the final result! I think it turned out great!
He added many details. One detail was the propeller.

The good news was there was no ninth-inning implosion that left the Orioles lamenting another potential victory that got away.
But in some respects, their 3-0 loss last night before an announced 21,148 at Camden Yards might have more galling because they were shut down by a well-traveled pitcher whom the Toronto Blue Jays acquired for cash considerations on the eve of spring training.
Dana Eveland, a 26-year-old left-hander with his fourth big league team, turned in 71/3 shutout innings, allowing only five hits and four Orioles to reach scoring position.

Hectares of rooibos going unharvested
There is a sea of rooibos tea at the moment, with some farmers in Western Cape leaving crops in the field because it is not worth their while to harvest them, Business Day reported on Tuesday.
Ironically, the market for the tea has been growing, with a world market of 12 000 tonnes, estimated at a total value of more than R180-million.
But higher input costs and over-production have led to the present situation, Rooibos Limited MD Martin Bergh told the newspaper.
Willie Nel, a farmer near Clanwilliam, which is the centre of rooibos production in South Africa, said farmers switched to rooibos in a spirit of "over-eagerness" to ride the wave of what they saw as a more lucrative crop.
It fetched about R13 a kilogram locally, with an export price of about R17/kg.
The switch to rooibos and overplanting occurred after a few seasons of over-production in wheat and potato crops.
Nel told Business Day that many hectares of rooibos are not being harvested because it is not economically viable to do so, and the over-production means there are not enough drying facilities available to process the tea.
Furthermore, high fertiliser, fuel and labour costs have affected the price, as production of rooibos is labour intensive.
But while producers are affected, consumers benefit from lower prices.
Demand for the product worldwide is still growing "but it's just unfortunate that there is a surplus", Bergh was quoted as saying.—Sapa.

Am I not Farang?
A huge statue of a Reclining Buddha in Wat Lokaya Sutha, Ayutthaya, Thailand. 26 dec 1999
The reclining Buddha represents Shakyamuni Buddha (the historical Buddha) at his death. It is said that the Buddha knew death was approaching, and asked his disciples to prepare a couch for him in a grove. He lay there, reclining on his right side, facing west, with his head supported by his hand, as he passed into nirvana.

I'm trying to get all the stuff I need together to rebuild my vent windows and have a few questions that I hope someone here can answer.
I understand the Nomad vent window frames are somehow different than the HTs and convertibles. What exactly is the difference? I have my original Nomad ones but I thought they were the same as a HT.
Since I'm going to have power vent windows, I don't think I want to use the stock latches that are on all but the convertible vent windows Why did they delete them on the convertibles anyhow? I was going to remove them from my frames and have them re-chromed but they'd probably be $100 each or so. I found a pair of NEW convertible frames for less than re-chroming one of mine. How is the quality of these repop frames? Is the chrome really show quality?
I have a set of new vent window seals that I bought in the 80's from CCI. They are still in the vacuum-sealed package and were made by "LTE Reproductions" and the rubber still seems soft and pliable. I don't know about the quality of these and I only want to do this once. Are the current reproduction parts better in any way or should I use the ones I have? I'm more concerned about the design than I am the material but I wonder about both with these old parts.
So I have the vent window seals, new fuzzy channel, glass, and will either re-chrome my frames or buy new ones. I think I need glass-setting tape. What else do I need? I see Mr. Nomad selling rivets but an article I have from CCI doesn't say anything about rivets.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Trying to get stuff ready while I sand on the body.

HB1247 latest effort to weaken alcohol rules
By KEVIN NEVERS
A bill has been
introduced in the Indiana House which could potentially give Pavilion
Partners LLC another bite at the apple: HB 1247, authored by State Reps.
Sean Eberhart, R-57th, and Tom Dermody, R-20th.
Eberhart represents
Shelby County and much of Bartholomew County, southeast of Indianapolis;
Dermody, portions of LaPorte and Starke counties.
They serve together
on the Public Policy Committee.
Specifically, HB
1247 would do the following:
* Exempt any
"application for a retailer's permit issued for economic development
purposes"--and pending before the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission on
or after Jan. 1--from local ABC proceedings.
* Prohibit the ATC
from denying a permit in a residential district on the ground that it "would
unreasonably impair the enjoyment of residents" or--in the case of an
application for a renewed permit--on the ground that the premises are a
"public nuisance."
* Eliminate the
"good moral character" requirement for a beer retailer.
* Repeal the "high
and fine reputation" requirement for a liquor retailer's permit.
* Repeal a
provision granting the ATC both express and implied powers.
* Repeal a
provision prohibiting a person from performing an indirect act or holding an
indirect interest, if the law prohibits a direct act or interest.
* And stipulate
that the ATC's review of a local ABC ruling is not "de novo," that is, that
its review does not actually constitute a brand-new hearing on the permit
HB 1247, if enacted
as authored, would apparently send any new three-way application submitted
by Pavilion Partners directly to the ATC, bypassing the local ABC. It would
also apparently nullify most of the statutory grounds available for denying
the application.
SB 188, introduced
by State Sen. James Merritt, R-31, is a little different. It applies to any
three-way application submitted to the ATC by the Department of Natural
Resources on behalf of a state park. Any such application, however,
would similarly be exempt from ABC notifications and proceedings, exempt as
well from the "high and fine reputation" requirement.

You know how on every microwave there is a "Popcorn" button? And you know how on some microwave popcorn bags the instructions say not to push that delegated button? Why have a button that will supposedly pop your popcorn to perfection with a single push if you can't USE IT?!?! It's as if the microwave and microwave popcorn companies are conspiring together to see just how lazy the American population is. The answer is: Very lazy.
Why would I push the FIVE buttons it takes me to set my microwave to the perfect time of two minutes and fifteen seconds (a time that I have found to be the safest to ensure unscorched popcorn goodness), when I could just push ONE? If I use the thoughtfully provided "Popcorn" button programmed for two and a half minutes, I simply have to remember to stop the microwave a few seconds early. So there, microwave and popcorn companies! Being the reasonable college student that I am, I have created a wonderful solution that allows me to successfully prepare my snack with minimal effort.
...As we all know the attention span of the average adolescent is woefully pitiful. So, 2 minutes and 30 seconds later…
The room smells like burned popcorn. There is gray smoke unfurling from what used to be a bag of kernels waiting to be popped to perfection but now simply resembles a scorched mass. I run to throw the bag away down the hall. I leave the door open to my dorm hoping to let the smell dissipate. Two days later my room still smells like burnt kernels and microwaved salt; a depressing reminder of the night I destroyed my last bag of popcorn. And weeks later, as I'm warming up a cup of tea, a faint smell of burning popcorn emanates from the microwave- mocking me.

Droopy Drawers Bill Gets Tentative Approval from SenateMarch 12th, 2008 by Mike Vasilinda
The Florida Senate has given tentative approval to legislation prohibiting students from showing their underwear at school. The so called droopy drawers bill would give students a pass on the first offense, but three day and ten day in school suspensions would follow if students continue to show their undergarments. Sponsor Gary Siplin says the idea is to eliminate distractions.
�In education, we teach our kids how to do arithmetic, how to type, how to drive,� Siplin said. �We should also teach our kid how to dress. And the way some of the kids are coming to school, showing their underwear, their g-string and things like that, that�s a distraction and we want to prevent that.�
The legislation still faces a tough time in the state House.

Asa's Religious Reforms
15 The Spirit of God came[a] upon Azariah the son of Oded, 2 and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: The Lord is with you while you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. 3 For a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without law, 4 but when in their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them. 5 In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for great disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands. 6 They were broken in pieces. Nation was crushed by nation and city by city, for God troubled them with every sort of distress. 7 But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded."
8 As soon as Asa heard these words, the prophecy of Azariah the son of Oded, he took courage and put away the detestable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities that he had taken in the hill country of Ephraim, and he repaired the altar of the Lord that was in front of the vestibule of the house of the Lord.[b] 9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who were residing with them, for great numbers had deserted to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. 10 They were gathered at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. 11 They sacrificed to the Lord on that day from the spoil that they had brought 700 oxen and 7,000 sheep. 12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul, 13 but that whoever would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman. 14 They swore an oath to the Lord with a loud voice and with shouting and with trumpets and with horns. 15 And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and had sought him with their whole desire, and he was found by them, and the Lord gave them rest all around.
16 Even Maacah, his mother, King Asa removed from being queen mother because she had made a detestable image for Asherah. Asa cut down her image, crushed it, and burned it at the brook Kidron. 17 But the high places were not taken out of Israel. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was wholly true all his days. 18 And he brought into the house of God the sacred gifts of his father and his own sacred gifts, silver, and gold, and vessels. 19 And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
Asa's Last Years
16 In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and built Ramah, that he might permit no one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 2 Then Asa took silver and gold from the treasures of the house of the Lord and the king's house and sent them to Ben-hadad king of Syria, who lived in Damascus, saying, 3 "There is a covenant[c] between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I am sending to you silver and gold. Go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me." 4 And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and they conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali. 5 And when Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah and let his work cease. 6 Then King Asa took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber, with which Baasha had been building, and with them he built Geba and Mizpah.
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, "Because you relied on the king of Syria, and did not rely on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Syria has escaped you. 8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the Lord, he gave them into your hand. 9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless[d] toward him. You have done foolishly in this, for from now on you will have wars." 10 Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him in the stocks in prison, for he was in a rage with him because of this. And Asa inflicted cruelties upon some of the people at the same time.
11 The acts of Asa, from first to last, are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet, and his disease became severe. Yet even in his disease he did not seek the Lord, but sought help from physicians. 13 And Asa slept with his fathers, dying in the forty-first year of his reign. 14 They buried him in the tomb that he had cut for himself in the city of David. They laid him on a bier that had been filled with various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumer's art, and they made a very great fire in his honor.
Jehoshaphat Reigns in Judah
17 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place and strengthened himself against Israel. 2 He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that Asa his father had captured. 3 The Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek the Baals, 4 but sought the God of his father and walked in his commandments, and not according to the practices of Israel. 5 Therefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand. And all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had great riches and honor. 6 His heart was courageous in the ways of the Lord. And furthermore, he took the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
7 In the third year of his reign he sent his officials, Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah; 8 and with them the Levites, Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah; and with these Levites, the priests Elishama and Jehoram. 9 And they taught in Judah, having the Book of the Law of the Lord with them. They went about through all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
10 And the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, and they made no war against Jehoshaphat. 11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver for tribute, and the Arabians also brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats. 12 And Jehoshaphat grew steadily greater. He built in Judah fortresses and store cities, 13 and he had large supplies in the cities of Judah. He had soldiers, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem. 14 This was the muster of them by fathers' houses: Of Judah, the commanders of thousands: Adnah the commander, with 300,000 mighty men of valor; 15 and next to him Jehohanan the commander, with 280,000; 16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, a volunteer for the service of the Lord, with 200,000 mighty men of valor. 17 Of Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, with 200,000 men armed with bow and shield; 18 and next to him Jehozabad with 180,000 armed for war. 19 These were in the service of the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Jehoshaphat Allies with Ahab
18 Now Jehoshaphat had great riches and honor, and he made a marriage alliance with Ahab. 2 After some years he went down to Ahab in Samaria. And Ahab killed an abundance of sheep and oxen for him and for the people who were with him, and induced him to go up against Ramoth-gilead. 3 Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead?" He answered him, "I am as you are, my people as your people. We will be with you in the war."
4 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Inquire first for the word of the Lord." 5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall we go to battle against Ramoth-gilead, or shall I refrain?" And they said, "Go up, for God will give it into the hand of the king." 6 But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not here another prophet of the Lord of whom we may inquire?" 7 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the Lord, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil." And Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so." 8 Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said, "Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah." 9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting on their thrones, arrayed in their robes. And they were sitting at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them. 10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron and said, "Thus says the Lord, 'With these you shall push the Syrians until they are destroyed.'" 11 And all the prophets prophesied so and said, "Go up to Ramoth-gilead and triumph. The Lord will give it into the hand of the king."
12 And the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, "Behold, the words of the prophets with one accord are favorable to the king. Let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably." 13 But Micaiah said, "As the Lord lives, what my God says, that I will speak." 14 And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" And he answered, "Go up and triumph; they will be given into your hand." 15 But the king said to him, "How many times shall I make you swear that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?" 16 And he said, "I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said, 'These have no master; let each return to his home in peace.'" 17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?" 18 And Micaiah said, "Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. 19 And the Lord said, 'Who will entice Ahab the king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?' And one said one thing, and another said another. 20 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, saying, 'I will entice him.' And the Lord said to him, 'By what means?' 21 And he said, 'I will go out, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And he said, 'You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.' 22 Now therefore behold, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets. The Lord has declared disaster concerning you."
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, "Which way did the Spirit of the Lord go from me to speak to you?" 24 And Micaiah said, "Behold, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide yourself." 25 And the king of Israel said, "Seize Micaiah and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son, 26 and say, 'Thus says the king, Put this fellow in prison and feed him with meager rations of bread and water until I return in peace.'" 27 And Micaiah said, "If you return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me." And he said, "Hear, all you peoples!"
The Defeat and Death of Ahab
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. 29 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your robes." And the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into battle. 30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, "Fight with neither small nor great, but only with the king of Israel." 31 As soon as the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "It is the king of Israel." So they turned to fight against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; God drew them away from him. 32 For as soon as the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him. 33 But a certain man drew his bow at random[e] and struck the king of Israel between the scale armor and the breastplate. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, "Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded." 34 And the battle continued that day, and the king of Israel was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians until evening. Then at sunset he died.

1 Timothy 3 English Standard Version (ESV)
Qualifications for Overseers
3 The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Therefore an overseer[a] must be above reproach, the husband of one wife,[b] sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.
Qualifications for Deacons
8 Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued,[c] not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. 9 They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. 11 Their wives likewise[d] must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. 12 Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. 13 For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
The Mystery of Godliness
14 I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, 15 if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth. 16 Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:
He[e] was manifested in the flesh,

Dear Editor:
I find it ironic that Dan Carlyle would accuse The Downey Patriot of being a Democratic operative, writing that their Opinion page is composed by "liberal groups that are fronts for the Democratic party." He must not read the Patriot every week.
Every week I am bombarded by letters written by ultra conservative Republicans such as Elsa Van Leuven, Joe Cvetko and Martha Morrissy-Call. Their letters are published far too often, especially for a community newspaper that claims to represent an increasingly liberal and Democratic constituency.
I tend to think The Downey Republican is a better name for the Patriot.

Regarding Scripture: Mark 12, mc Mark 11.27-13.37, vv 12.1-44
Note to the Reader
This week we continue our examination of the Gospel of Mark. As such, I encourage you to invest additional time reading the Gospel in conjunction with this article.
Passage: Mark 12, mc Mark 11.27-13.37, vv 12.1-44
Finding Context
First, I would like to say that I meditated and prayed for a few days about this article. The reason may seem rather simple, but as I was reading and preparing for this lesson, Mark Twelve is full of lessons that are probably familiar with the majority of the church: The Parable of the Vineyard;1 Jesus' Answer about Taxes;2 Jesus' Answer about the Resurrection;3 Jesus' Answer about what is Primary in the Law;4 Jesus' Question for the Leaders;5 and the Widow's Offering.6 Since these lessons seem so familiar, I felt that there was little I could offer. As I was reading, something did stand out and it stands out because of Context, so Context is what we will be examining this week.
I will begin by asking, "What is Context?" Context is a word that incorporates a great many aspects about any given word or passage of Scripture.
Context includes: the words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs of our passage from Mark.
Context includes: the passage and its location within the entire body of Mark, itself.
Context includes: the Gospel of Mark within the NT and as it applies to the OT.
Context includes: Historical timeline information, for example:
1. The Temple in Mark 12 is the same location as the Temple Solomon built in Kings7 but the Temple itself is different.
2. That Jesus has not yet been crucified and the "church age" has not yet arrived.
Context includes: knowing the players: Jesus, the disciples, The Pharisees, The Sadducees, The Scribes, The Widow, The Temple, The Temple Treasury.
Context includes: Theological issues like taxes, the resurrection, determining the importance (the ranking) of the Teachings from within the works of Moses, that Jesus is living under the OT, and that according to the date of events in Mark 12, there are no NT writings.
Context includes: Seeing the literary movement, which can and does supercede Chapter Verse markings.
Recognizing the previous, let us see the formal definition of context; Dictionary.com8 gives two primary definitions:
1. the parts of a written or spoken statement that precede or follow a specific word or passage, usually influencing its meaning or effect
2. the set of circumstances or facts that surround a particular event, situation, etc.
Seeing Context
When we consider that most Bibles seem to be printed in a two-column format and within each column are the verses with the verse markers out to the left margin of the column, learning to recognize Context can be somewhat difficult, especially after reading a Bible for years that has Chapter Verse markers (which seems to be the standard by which Bibles are printed). While Chapter and Verse markers make for great help in quickly finding any "passage" what it amounts to is that the "passage" can be quoted "out of context." Also realize that Chapters might be inserted in the middle of a literary Context and this weakens the Narrative as well. These things happen because Chapter and Verses are not original to the Bible, they have been added as a "help." So be aware of the weaknesses of BCV and this will help.
Literary Context can be found, and it is found by the change of scene, which is communicated by words and phrases. Consider that the Context of Mark Twelve actually begins in Mark Eleven with the phrase, "And they come again to Jerusalem: and he was walking in the Temple." (11.27, KJV). If we began reading in the first verse of Mark Twelve, we find that we are actually "lost" as to whom Jesus is speaking. The "them" is identified back in chapter Eleven, in the same verse were we find Jesus "walking in the Temple." Sometimes we have to back up into the previous chapter to locate the scene.
Literary Context has Jesus at the Temple, the question is: when does he leave the Temple? One might think that Mark 12.12 has a change of scene, but the Literary Context did not change because the Gospel of Mark does not move the reader from the Temple. According to the Literary Context of the Gospel of Mark, Jesus does not leave the Temple until Chapter 13.1. One might think that the Literary Context has now shifted because of the Chapter Verse, but again this really is not the case. In the last part of Chapter Eleven, and all of Chapter Twelve, Jesus is "walking in the Temple" but Chapter Thirteen has Jesus exit the Temple, but he is still talking about the Temple, the only "change of scene" is Jesus being inside or outside the Temple. Consequently, all of Chapter Thirteen is actually an event that happens because of Jesus exiting the Temple. We must learn to see that the Gospel of Mark has 11.27-13.37 working together as a major literary unit, and this has direct impact on the understanding of Jesus' responses, his answers, and his teachings – so, it would be prudent to ask: "What does the Temple represent?"
Cautions about Context
While it is tempting to turn to the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and John to investigate details, doing so can insert information into Mark that changes the intentions of the Narrative provided by Mark. We can turn to the other Gospels to learn things like history, definitions, functions, and locations; but Mark establishes the Narrative not the other Gospels. To superimpose the other Gospels onto Mark's Narrative actually runs the risk of changing Mark's intended message. We are to learn everything we can, but we are wise when we see the Narrative as Mark intended.
One last thought. You probably have observed that prior to each article there is this information:
Passage: Mark 12, mc Mark 11.27-13.37, vv 12.1-44
It is given in order to provide specific information to you, the reader. "Mark 12" indicates which book and chapter we will be in. "mc" indicates and refers to the "minimum context" which in our case this week was rather lengthy. "vv" indicates and refers to the "verse or verses" that will be investigated.
Context improves our reading, improves our understanding, and strengthens our faith. May the LORD bless us as we continue to learn.
1. "The Parable of the Vineyard." Mark 12.1-12 .
2. "Jesus' Answer about the Resurrection." Mark 12.13-17.
3. "Jesus' Answer about the Resurrection." Mark 12.18-27.
4. "Jesus' Answer about what is Primary in the Law." Mark 12.28-34.
5. "Jesus' Question for the Leaders." Mark 12.35-40.
6. "The Widow's Offering." Mark 12.41-44.
7. "Solomon Constructs the Temple." First Kings 6.1-8.66.

Hello everyone!
I am delighted with the responses to the Ethicist posts—both on the site and to me personally. Thanks for your energy and insights.
An Academy member sent me a very interesting scenario he has been facing that should resonate with many, not only in our field but with those following trends in academe as a whole. I have experienced a version of it myself just this semester. Consider this:
For the past 10 years, you've taught a required course you like. You're effective at teaching this course, too: in the first several years, your course evaluations were very high and other student feedback indicated that they loved your course. However, although you manage the course in essentially the same way as you have since the beginning, and your teaching style has not changed dramatically for the worse, your course evaluations have become not so great. The reason behind this is that your students now evaluate your course's workload as much too heavy, especially in relation to others who teach the course. When you first were teaching the course and got great evaluations, over 90% of students evaluated your course's workload as "appropriate." Over time, you now earn that evaluation metric from only 20% of students.
For students considering taking your course, the word on the street is that you are a very difficult instructor and your course carries an inappropriately rough workload. So, along with decreasing student evaluation numbers, you're also facing fewer students in your section and resentful colleagues, all in the context of a dramatically increased institutional focus on student retention. You consider your assignment load completely appropriate for the course material.
As you puzzled over your change in evaluation fortunes, you reviewed syllabi from colleagues who also teach this course and found out that, based on similar student feedback, they had been gradually decreasing the workload in their courses. It appears that other sections of this course now require only a group presentation (without a corresponding written assignment) and one multiple choice exam at the end of the course. Indeed, you do have the heaviest workload now out of anyone teaching that course, although there is nothing out of the ordinary in your assignment mix: multiple writing assignments, group written project, and two essay/short answer exams.
What do you do?
The choice our colleague faces above is more complex than whether he should simply lower course requirements to match others teaching the course. There are a bunch of things going on here, such as the growing link between student grade expectations and our course evaluations and an increasing emphasis on market-based "currency" exchanges like satisfaction and retention. All seem to track back to watershed changes within higher education as a whole. Many have already written with alarm about the increasing corporatization of higher education; I experience the dilemma above as yet another manifestation of the "student as customer" metaphor used so frequently, and without irony. When learning becomes an exchange agreement, whether explicit or implicit, and administrative structures like reward systems change to accommodate it, we are in trouble. Marcis and Burney (2010), in their study of cognitive biases at play when students' expectations of grades do not match actual performance, describe the current academic environment as one "…in which the potentially conflicting goals of maintaining academic rigor, maximizing student retention, and maintaining student satisfaction are advanced" (p. 32). And these conflicts are here to stay.
As I mentioned above, I had a similar experience just this semester. I administer a midterm evaluation in my courses, and students in my capstone strategy section indicated that my workload was "crazy" and out of touch with their other responsibilities. My initial reaction to this was, "We're an AACSB business school and this is your senior-level CAPSTONE course! Suck it up!!" Later on, of course, I reacted more functionally, but certainly that feedback gave me pause about what they might say on my end-of-term evaluations that matter, and caused me to think about my options.
Similar to what I see when examining almost any ethical dilemma, the choices initially seem binary. Dilemmas seem to lend themselves to 'either—or' thinking: I either cave in and lower my course requirements, OR, I will get poor evaluations. Although the choices seem binary, they are not. In my situation, I asked the three other instructors who teach our capstone course for their syllabi to see my course requirements in context. What I found was that I require different assignments, but not fewer overall. Armed with this information, we had a very helpful midterm evaluation debrief discussion that included their anxiety over earning poorer grades as seniors than they had as underclassmen, and my concern about the grades—evaluation exchange. The worry, it turns out, was about their own performance insecurities, not really about my workload.
For our colleague above, how about a meeting among all of the instructors of the course to hammer out some shared expectations and requirements? How about a frank conversation with students where these implicit exchanges become open for discussion? How about telling students the 'why' of rigor in college courses, and helping them see that holding them to tougher standards is not punishment, but a sign of truly caring about their learning? What about sharing a personal story of when we were held to what we thought was an 'impossible' standard, only to find enormous confidence in our abilities later on because of it?
There are forces at work that may unintentionally pit us against our students, to cause us to forget that our students are not our enemies. Students may be increasingly objectified as mis-aligned with the educational enterprise as a whole. As I invited comments from the Ethics Education Committee on a draft of this blog, several members commented that they experience this issue, but only on an undergraduate level. Graduate students seem to accept the 'rigor is good!!' paradigm much better than undergrads. This has generally been my experience, but I must say I have had some MBAs reject that idea just as vigorously as the undergrads!
I invite your comments. What have your experiences been in this context? Is this trending accurate for undergraduate education, or graduate students too? What have you done when you have encountered this situation? Relatedly, what substitutes might we have for the "student as customer" metaphor that may change our conversation?
Tune in next time for a discussion about the "how" of having difficult conversations with students, about this and other issues!

Ghaziabad: Raped by dad for 6 years, teen shoots video, gets him arrested
A 43-year-old mathematics teacher was sent to judicial custody on Sunday for raping his 19-year-old daughter for the last six years.noida Updated: Jul 19, 2017 14:56 IST
A 43-year-old mathematics teacher was sent to judicial custody on Sunday for raping his 19-year-old daughter for the last six years. The victim shot a video on her mobile phone which exposed the alleged incident at their residence in a locality under Kavi Nagar police station area in Ghaziabad.
The 15-minute video shows the woman being raped by her father, who also operates a school in Ghaziabad. The man was arrested and produced before a court on Sunday.
"The young woman repeatedly suffered the assault by her own father for the past six years. She could not garner support from her mother as she was unable to stand up against her husband. The incidents took place when she was a minor, so we have booked the accused of rape and also under the provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act," said Hemant Rai, station house officer, Kavi Nagar.
Before taking the step to stand up against the repeated assault by her father, the woman, who is a first-year graduation student, spoke about her ordeal with her friend. Later, her friend approached her own mother and the two further approached the mother of the victim.
"They counselled the victim's mother to report the matter to police. Her mother knew about the incidents but kept quiet as she feared the social stigma the family will have to face later. In the meantime, the victim placed her mobile in her room and turned the video on when her mother was not present. The video clearly captured the assault by her father who is also seen threatening her and later forcing himself on her. The video is a vital piece of evidence and will be a part of investigation," Rai added.
The victim's mother took the woman to Kavi Nagar police station on Sunday and lodged a formal complaint against her husband.
The police have also levied section 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of IPC as the accused also beat the victim often. He had also threatened his wife time and again about not reporting the matter to anyone.

text: Hey guys this isnt exactly mac related but I still need help. I'm running a 3 tb raid 5 hardware setup and I can't get vista 64 to work with it. I've used diskpart.exe to change the format to GPT but it shows the volume as hidden. I can see the drive in the explorer but when clicked it says "access denied" Is there any way to get it to show up so I can actually access it? Thanks Zack ps i'm pretty sure its just a diskpart.exe command i'm missing here.

There are literally hundreds of W204's for sale. Most probably coming off new car leases or novated leases.
There's only a certain demographic of people who will buy a Benz - particularly a second hand one.
Novated leases run out when a vehicle is 8 years old. So many of the 5 year old plus cars need to be financed by personnel loans or other finance.
Those hundreds of W204's out there for sale seem to have very optimistic or hopeful prices on them. Many private buyers are trying to make up their residual payout. Many have had a shock at the stealership on the quoted trade in price.
One buying trick is to try and get to divulge a price they were given at the trade in - offer them a $100 on top of that price - they would rather sell to you than a stealership.
Mate did a $100K loss in 15 months on his CLS. He just did another big bust on a Porsche Macan.
Following the sales sites you can easily see that there are some cars which remain for sale for months and months often with an ever decreasing selling price.
I see that some official MB stealerships are starting to get rid of Stamarque cars at reasonable prices instead of the usual 75-100% premium over normal prices.
Which bodes well for a potential picky Benz buyer.
Having said that.
M271, M272 and M273 engines have design flaws in the first years of production up until 2008. Benz USA is subject to a class action on these problems. The result of which at this current time - allegedly - they will repair these engines - as long as they have had stealership servicing up to 100,000 miles - 160,000Kms.
Diesel injectors were a problem up until 2012. This was general over marques due to OEM sourcing from Bosch.
Other marques are having real issues with the Black Death caused by direct injection - this doesn't seem to be a problem with Benz's as long as you keep the EGR system cleaned out and use Premium 98 octane fuel or high quality diesel.
Command screen failure is common. $$$$ to replace.
The airmatics were generally sorted out after 2004 but 100,000K's seems to be a common failure point.
There are now Chinese copies of the airmatics which can be sourced in Australia for a few hundred. Arnotts and Bilstein are now offering reasonable value replacement or changeover (The cost of airfreighting is often more than the cost of the units).
So ......decisions decisions

Why your fragmented tech stack is costing you — and how to fix it
By Jesse Guild, Founder & CEO @ Blitzen
The adoption of cloud computing has undoubtedly helped small & midsized businesses become more efficient in their daily operations, with best-in-breed solutions covering off most of the essential business functions from marketing, to accounting and sales. But the explosion in the number of new cloud solutions being released each year has resulted many SMBs struggling to make sense of fragmented workflows and siloed customer data.
"It doesn't take too many of these disconnected apps to start feeling the pain of productivity sinks, data entry errors, and a lack of solid customer data to support decision-making and strategizing."
This is a pain that I'm sure you've felt. We certainly have. Our startup is regularly using a dozen-or-so cloud applications during our daily operations including Pipedrive for our CRM, Mailchimp for inbound emails, Outreach for our outbound emails, Slack for internal communications, Helpscout for our customer support, Bitbucket for our code repo… you get the picture.
As you can imagine, the costs of having all of these tools not play nice together are significant. First and foremost, there are the costs of manual data entry and double-handling of customer data, which can add up to probably an hour or two a week for a smaller business, but many more for a mid-size company. Then there's the cost of human error when that data gets entered incorrectly, or worse, lost in the hustle and bustle.
It doesn't take too many of these disconnected apps to start feeling the pain of productivity sinks, data entry errors, and a lack of solid customer data to support decision-making and strategizing. Fortunately, there are solutions out there that can help SMBs create unified, reliable data sets that can act as the foundation for growth.
These tools are alleviating some of the growing pains that SMBs feel, by allowing them to start small, with just one or two apps, and then snap together extra functionality as they go. How you may ask? Through little things called application programming interfaces or APIs. These are like Lego blocks that let you connect apps together, and though they may not sound sexy, the increased productivity and huge time savings that they enable definitely are.
Getting lost in the data sauce
From our experience, the business units that best understand the sexiness of unifying their tech stack and customer data are sales & marketing teams. They know that data is easier than ever to acquire these days –they're awash in it. Whether it is Google Analytics, Optimizely, or Mixpanel, it's everywhere, so there's no excuse to not have a data-driven strategy.
But the sad truth is that too many sales & marketing teams are stuck in the weeds, trying to navigate a broken landscape with unreliable and fuzzy customer data. For example, marketing might keep information about email and website clicks in Marketo or Hubspot, while sales are tracking their own lead and prospect activity in outbound email tools like Outreach or Customer.io.
Dumbfounded by the complexity of these fragmented systems, sales & marketing teams will too often ignore the crucial elements of customer data altogether. Plus, with a lack of alignment between these two units about what makes a prospect a good fit to purchase their product or service, many small and midsize sales & marketing teams are still relying on ineffective and out-dated "spray & pray" engagement tactics (AKA spamming!).
This is true for young startup companies that are just implementing their sales and marketing strategy, or even large enterprises with massive demand gen budgets. This 'quantity over quality' approach is a huge waste of resources and also produces lackluster outcomes and can in the end, be damaging to the brand. But fear not, there is a solution – and it can be found in what's called the 'universal customer profile'.
The universal customer profile is an aggregated view of a customer's interactions across all of your brand's touch points, including web, mobile, and even offline. These centralized views contain all the known attributes that an organization knows about prospect. Sales & marketing teams are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of leveraging these profiles across their tech stack to help fuel a personalized marketing strategy.
So, how do you go about building and leveraging these magical views that contain all of your customer data-points, you may be wondering? Don't worry – we're about to break that down for you! Here are the things you need to think about if you want to start fixing that fragmented tech stack of yours, and move towards more personalized marketing!
Universal customer profiles – a crash course
First-Party Data– The key to building universal profiles is creating them from first-party data, which is customer data that is collected by you directly from the customer. What's the easiest way to do this? Online forms & surveys of course!
API Integrations – Leveraging universal profiles is critical but actually kind of useless if you can't take action with them. This is why it's key to have seamless integrations between your email automation, CRM, and advertising systems, so your sales & marketing team can action on those customers in real time.
Smart Segmentation – Traditional segmentation techniques are static and place people into list. Nowadays marketers need to be able create customer segments on the fly, and have those segments evolve intelligently, based on different behaviours and actions that customers take.
Data Enrichment– One important part of creating a 360-degree profile is the ability to supplement your first-party data, with other data sources like social demographics, interests & affinities, and company data. Third party data enrichment opens up all kinds of possibilities, and is key in creating the most complete view of the customer.
Cross-device Identification – Buyers are now moving between devices (e.g. mobile, laptop) with increasing frequency, which makes it tricky to get a complete view of customer behavior. Even cookies aren't always enough since people have the tendency to browse incognito. But using techniques such as device fingerprinting solves this problem by merging the known profiles of a customer across devices.
Logic & Rules Engine– Finally, the last piece of the puzzle in being able to leverage universal profiles is a logic & rules engine, which will let you define rules that trigger automations based on the actions your customers. These triggers are then executed within your marketing tools such as Mailchimp.
That's it! Sounds pretty easy, right? Don't get discouraged if you haven't got a universal customer profile strategy in place yet. This is a learning process, and we're most happy to share a few tips we've learned along the way. Just know that you don't need to be lost in the customer data sauce, leaving opportunities behind – you can start unifying your customer data and maximizing your marketing impact!

"If you can't be famous, be infamous"
I can think of very few movies that feature such shamelessly murderous protagonists who you're still rooting for, hoping that get away with their crimes. Maybe it's because of how much fun they seem to be having conniving and manipulating their way through the system, or because, as the ladies in the show-stopping Cell Block Tango number sing about their murdered beloveds, they had it coming. They had it coming all along.
I'll cut to the chase: Roxie Hart (Renée Zellwegger) is a vaudeville-aspirant-turned-murderess, on trial in the Cook County Jail after she discovers the man she is having an affair with has been lying to her about the one thing that she really cares about - her ticket to the stage - and kills him. In prison, she comes across the matron Mama Morton (a deliciously fun Queen Latifah) and her own inspiration and fellow murderess, Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones - also gloriously decadent). They must strive for the fame that will save them from the gallows in 1920s Chicago. Things aren't looking too good for Roxie, until she chances into Billy Flynn (Richard Gere) - a lawyer with a heart of gold, gold from the five thousand dollar fee he charges for ensuring an acquittal. And so begins the circus.
Queen Latifah gives us a saucy little take on When You're Good to Mama, an introduction to her tit-for-tat policy that Roxie will later learn to exploit. The aforementioned Cell Block Tango is an impressively written succession of monologues ("We parted on artistic differences - he saw himself as alive - and I saw him dead") in a grand ode to murders that ought not be called crimes. Richard Gere shines in his introduction as the lawyer who really just cares about love, then literally strings a charmed media along in another brilliantly visualised sequence in They Both Reached For The Gun.
The breakneck pacing is allowed to breathe with a series of numbers throwing some more light on our leading ladies, with Velma trying to convince Roxie to get on with her act, while the true extent of Roxie's own showbiz mania comes through in a faux stand up performance-of-her-dreams. Before you know it though, the movie is back to its breakneck showmanship, with the grand centrepiece, at least as far as I'm concerned - Give 'em The ol' Razzle Dazzle. The nature of the charade Billy Flynn's spinning for the entire system is masterfully executed here, with the courtroom standing transformed into aBarnum and Bailey creation for Flynn's ringmaster. Swift cuts juxtapose the theatre our lawyer's trying to create, simultaneously merging it with the reality of the courtroom until the two are virtually indistinguishable. The cheering crowd would be just as at home in an auditorium, and the way Roxie poses coyly at the camera, you would think she's on the red carpet.
Renée Zellwegger, who plays Roxie in Chicago, poses coyly at the camera on the red carpet.

Commercial Roofing Contractors
Any company focusing on the customer first and foremost before the fundamental concept of profit-making, is always the right choice.
Most of the times during emergencies, consumers get cheated by fake offers which turn into tragic realistic consequences. It is very significant to find the right vendor to avoid loss in money, time and energy for any person. Starting from the purchase of different raw materials to set up a building structure, consumers have to be vigilant about the different kind of frauds in the market. For a commercial building, it is very important to have the best roofing system. Commercial roofing contractors are the right choice for any such needs. They give the right product at the right time and at the right place.

Why is roofing important in a commercial and home buildings
A commercial and home buildings accommodates several office spaces of different companies under the same roof. The office space can be sold or rented out at the best price only if the building provides an excellent visibility as well as facilities to the personnel involved in the company buying or hiring the space. Just like any other facility, roofing is equivalently important to the commercial and home building. These days, any office would consist of not only human employees but also at least one computer to start with the long list of electronic gadgets used by the staff. Mainly due to the latter reason, office spaces are indoors than in an open air area. Hence, to protect this basic life involved in any commercial and home buildings from the natural elements, roofing is a must in any such building.
What makes a contractor the right choice
Commercial roofing contractors provide the best customer service before and after the service is been executed. They not only provide a variety of options to choose from in roofing for any building, like for example, metal roofing, slate roofing, wood shake roofing, etc, but also offer repair services to existing roofs. They are a team of specialists who can cater to any emergency needs with regard to any kind of repair in any make or model of roofing system. They also provide assistance in maintenance of the existing roofs by utilizing their knowledge bank in the work involved. They are excellent advisors in replacements of poorly damaged roofs and also excel in their ability to design the most appropriate roof for their client on a no-obligation basis.
