You’ll be able to hear the pronunciation of any word when you need it-whether you’re refreshing your vocabulary, writing a sermon, or doing research. 5,500 additional sound clips cover alternative spellings from a variety of lexicons and databases. Anyway, let's just leave it at that, we wouldn't want any Jews "to get offended," though it should be clear is not their fault, is the Jews of old's fault that we are even talking about this and having issues with this.Learn to pronounce Hebrew and Aramaic from a leading expert with over 9,500 audio clips of the Hebrew Bible’s lexical forms (‘lemmas’). I think that's more offensive and disrespectful. Imagine if somebody adopted the same senseless idea the Jews of old had and over the centuries we only had JSS was the Son of God and then try to reconstruct the name JSS with JUSUS or JOJOS or something. My strong conviction is that if we love God, fear Him and obey Him then it's totally fine to pronounce His "name." After all, we call Jesus by His name and nobody thinks is too sacred to take away the vowels so nobody can really know how to pronounce it. My personal preference would be a setting on what we wished to have Logos do when it hits the Tetragrammaton - pronounce it, spell it or replace it.Īnd all this issue thanks to the Jews of old who disrespected God and rebelled against Him in every way possible, yet they made a big deal out of not wanting to pronounce His name because they thought it was too sacred.irony of ironies!!! We do so not only out of respect to our Jewish brothers and sisters but also out of respect to the history of salvation. Hence I believe that we should continue the longstanding tradition of speaking "Lord" whenever we come across the Tetragrammaton. We do not speak the ineffable name given to Israel because this ineffable name has now become nameable in a new way in Jesus Christ and functionally replaced by the Trinitarian naming, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, into which we are baptized. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. God silences the divine name to prepare Israel for the embodiment of his name: "Before Abraham was, I AM." With the exaltation of Christ as Lord, YHWH is in a very real sense replaced by the name Jesus: I suggest that it was a necessary economic preparation for the Incarnation in Jesus Christ. That this happened is not unimportant or irrelevant. I have not kept upon the scholarship on this question over the past twenty years, and the books I owned that addressed this question have been donated to seminary libraries but I believe I am on safe grounds to state that by the time of Jesus the divine name had been silenced in public discourse, always replaced by the circumlocution Adonai. It also gives an additional understanding of the psalm which says' 'let everything that have breath praise the Lord' (psalm 150.6)"įor various reasons, the divine name eventually became too sacred to be pronounced in Second Temple Judaism. This would mean we recite His name everytime we breath. I was taught this by a very pious and wise elderly Orthodox christian. When we take a very deep breath and exhale, it seems to sound like: yaaaw- heeee (YAHWEH). "The sound of the word seems to phonetically mimic the action of inhaling and exhaling. Quotes to make clear this is not a Jewish tradition problem only, before I make my suggestion.

So beach access was still very close, even though we didn’t have a direct view of the beach.Īnd the path does, in fact, lead directly to the ocean!Īnd here is the path leading from the beach back to the campground. The car you see in the image is our campsite. (Most of the dunes are roped off and you can’t walk across them, so access is limited to the dedicated path.)įor context, this I took this photo while standing on the path to the water. Our campsite was very close to the path to the water. That was pretty much what I was expecting. You could actually HEAR the water and the waves crashing, but the sand dunes blocked the view of the water. From all the maps and images of Assateague State Park, I was not sure if our campsite would have an actual VIEW of the water. Okay, let’s walk through the campsite setup. Beach Access when Camping at Assateague State Park (More on that later)īut we eventually set everything up, then explored the area. Luckily we had done some research in advance and brought stakes that work well in sand, and Ken learned how to make “guylines” to make the tent even more stable in the wind and sand. It took us quite a while to set up our campsite, mostly because of the windy weather Our tent was like a giant sail in the wind as we set it up. A large picnic table was perfect for our evening cookouts. There was a large sandy campsite and a paved parking spot right next to it. Here’s what our spot looked like when we had just arrived (before we set up anything else). We booked site B35 (you’re allowed to book specific spots) because it was close to the beach, as well as appearing to be a relatively close distance to the restrooms. So we definitely wanted to make sure to book a loop with an open and functioning restroom! Their website indicated that several of the loops further down the road had temporarily-closed bathrooms due to renovations. We booked a spot several months in advance at Loop B. Loop B Campsite Review at Assateague State Park (Although the pit toilets we encountered on several of our Southwest USA road trip stops were surprisingly clean, smelled decent, and generally didn’t make me go “Yuck.” Although I enjoyed camping more than I originally expected after my first trip, I am not up for cold showers and non-flushing toilets. We opted for the State park largely because the National Park offered only cold showers and pit toilets. Be aware of this when you make your campsite reservations. One is the Maryland STATE Park, and the other one is the NATIONAL park. National Park campingīefore I start, I should point out that there are two campsites at Assateague. Then I’ll cover what we actually did during our camping trips (like hikes, etc.) in separate posts. So, I thought I’d start with a review of the actual campground. And that made the weather decidedly less enjoyable and pretty chilly! Although the high temperatures were in the low-mid sixties (which is perfect weather for being outdoors if you ask me!), it was SO WINDY. And rescheduling those specific trips never quite worked out because of other conflicts.Īnyway, I was very excited when this trip to Assateague came through! And a second camping trip to Ohiopyle State Park back in October, which we cancelled because of potentially heavy rain that weekend. One camping trip last April, which we ultimately cancelled because Ken started a new job and did not have much vacation time. Since then, we had planned two camping trips that both fell through. If you recall, I went on my first ever camping trip a little over a year ago, and I (VERY unexpectedly) enjoyed it. Ocean City, Maryland (Assateague State Park Camping Trip)īack in April, Ken and I went on a camping trip to Assateague State Park, which is part of the Assateague Island National Seashore.Assateague National Seashore | Trails and Hikes | Camping Trip.Assateague State Park Camping (Campsite Review).

From family-friendly rides to adrenaline-pumping coasters, Canada’s Wonderland has plenty of attractions for all levels of adventure. Visitors of all ages and interests are treated to endless adventures filled with wonder and excitement. This is important as you have to leave some length of rope behind the cart to prevent it getting caught in some places.It’s always exciting to find out the new experiences Canada’s largest amusement park will unveil. Unused 2pcs Lego String with end studs may be used to secure both the ascending track and descending track so they do not have gaps.Ĭommon household heatshrink-tube wrap can be used and formed to conceal the remaining rope. Don’t even get me started on the rubberband knot. Meanwhile if the knot isn’t secure enough, the rope will get pulled out after several laps eventually. If you tie the knot too much it will derail when the knot goes through the “tan” colored gears. By far the most difficult part of this build is the whole “rope and rubberband knot”. You may need to adjust some gears on the automatic door and ball dropper few times before the mechanism works as intended. The structure is not rigid enough for you to bring around when fully assembled. You better build this part on a removable base or on a table. Instructions are about 300 pages but could be shorter if some left/right parts are combined. Great engineering using available parts from 42009. Important note: Next to the LEGO 42009 parts you also need 6 regular rubber bands (size and strength doesn’t really matter, more info in the building instructions). Last thing to do is to build this GBC and perhaps build your own ride design /theme around this structure! However, advised is to place the GBC on a solid plate or to disassemble the GBC in separate modules again when moving the GBC. It is possible to move the whole structure at once when you hold it right. In this way you can easily connect this GBC to all our other GBCs to make the loop even bigger. It is made easy to take out the ball back guiders so you create an in and output according to the GBC rules. In this way GBC 19 is self contained and the ball flow never stops. The balls however are guided back by a side track which brings them back to the input of the GBC. The cart then returns downhill back to the station. Halfway through the ride, when on the highest point, a guidance rail triggers the mechanism on the cart itself which tips the balls out of the cart. When the cart is through the doors, they close again for the next cart to enter. Of course we know better and an efficient mechanism, triggered by the cart, kicks into action which opens the doors automatically. Coming closer and closer near the top, the closed doors magically open like they do in all Jurassic Park movies. On the next turn the carts are facing a hill with an epic door system at the top. After the first turn to the right the carts will trigger the filling mechanism which carefully lets up to max 6 GBC balls in the cart at a time. The user can simply adjust the gripping force on which the gears and tire grips on to the rope. A powerful geared and carefully designed drag system pulls the rope, on which the carts are attached, forward. All carts start at the station where also the engine and control room are located. With 3 carts included, GBC 19 can handle a lot of GBC balls at the same time. Watching the elegant and smooth turns the carts make in the corners as well as the clever mechanisms that they trigger is really a feast for the eyes. our GBC balls ) an awesome ride experience. The GBC 19 Log Flume attraction is inspired on one of those fixed track cart rides which gives the visitors (a.k.a. Ever been to Disneyland or another amusement park? We bet you have!

If you have a site called "Site1" setup on the server under c:\site1 folder and you want to use UrlScan v3.1 as a site filter for this site, here is how you would set it up. There would be two instances of the filter running in this case. Upon installation of UrlScan v3.1 as a site filter requests for that particular site will run through both the site and the global filter if the global filter is not un-mapped. Check out the "Common Scenarios" section for some common configurations. Read through it and update the values for them according to your needs. The default UrlScan.ini file has detailed descriptions of what all the configuration options do. For IIS 6.0 make sure you give IIS_WPG write permissions to this folder, and for IIS 7.0 and above make sure you give IIS_IUSRS write permission to this folder. Make sure that IIS worker processes have write permissions to this folder. Change this to point to wherever you want your log files to be located. The default logging directory is the "logs" directory underneath the "UrlScan" directory where your global filter is installed. If you want to check out the new defaults for the UrlScan.ini file, download the new UrlScan.ini file here. If you are upgrading from UrlScan v2.5 or from UrlScan v3.0 your old UrlScan.ini file will be persisted and all your old settings will apply. See the Site Filter section on how to setup your filter as a site filter The default installation of UrlScan v3.1 installs the filter as a global filter. If you install UrlScan.dll filter from c:\foo and your IIS worker process loads the filter from this location, the configuration that will be applied to that instance of UrlScan is loaded from c:\foo\UrlScan.ini. In every case, the filter will read the UrlScan.ini configuration file from the same location that it loads UrlScan.dll. UrlScan v3.1 supports using the filter as both a global and site filter in conjunction, with the goal of having global rules in the global filter and application specific rules in the site filter. A site level filter is invoked only for requests to a particular site on the IIS server. A global filter is invoked for every HTTP request to the IIS server on which it is set up. UrlScan v3.1 can be set up as either a global filter or site level filter. The MSI installer will do so for the global filter case, but if you are installing UrlScan as a site filter you will need to set UrlScan as the highest order filter. UrlScan is required to be the highest priority filter for it to function properly.Please refer to the Setting Up UrlScan v3.1 section for details. The default installation will install UrlScan as a global filter only.Upgrading from UrlScan v2.5 or UrlScan v3.0 will leave your old UrlScan.ini file intact.In the 圆4 case, only the system32 directory will have the UrlScan.ini file since the filter will turn off redirection when attempting to access UrlScan.ini, so both versions of the filter will access the same configuration under system32 directory Folder above will also contain the configuration file, UrlScan.ini.On successful installation you should have a "UrlScan" folder with UrlScan.dll under %windir%\system32\inetsrv and additionally under %windir%\syswow64\inetsrv as well for 圆4 installations.Run UrlScan v3.1 MSI installer for either x86 or 圆4 version depending on your platform.IIS version 5.1, 6.0 or 7.0 or above (depending on the platform).Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.

Gone Fishing by Tamera Wissinger (great for elementary ages!).Brevity is welcome in a sea of bloated children’s novels. But reading verse novels can act like mental re-training: you won’t see a novel-length epic poem later and automatically write it off as “too hard.” After all, you’ve already read–and enjoyed–poems that same length! In fact, some children really love this format because of all the white space. The poetry in these novels isn’t elevated or hard to understand. We’ve reviewed plenty over the years at Redeemed Reader. Novels-in-verse, or verse novels, are quite popular these days, but they are relative newcomers to the field. The Poetry for Young People Series is a good resource if you’re leveling up by reading the more established poets (as opposed to contemporary children’s poetry). “The Highwayman” is another, longer favorite. Try a longer poem or ballad, broken up over the course of several days. If you’ve only been reading silly poetry, try a more thoughtful children’s poet, like A. Try reading a poet that is a bit harder to understand or more elevated, such as Gerard Manly Hopkins or John Donne. Once you’ve built a habit of reading poetry regularly, just for the fun of it, it’s time to level up your poetry game. (hint: most kids really love funny poems) Step 3: Level Up your Poetry Game Do you find that you enjoy the style of a particular book or author? Read more in the same vein. Did a particular line strike you? Mention that to your kids. When you read poetry regularly with your children (step #1), don’t try to explain it or analyze it (the technical term is “explicate”). See also our Poetry Anthologies list for some favorite starting points. Try Megan’s guaranteed, irresistible, effortless introduction to poetry. Have a weekly teatime during which you read poetry. The more often you incorporate poetry into your natural reading life, the more natural poetry will seem to you and your children. Sounds too obvious, doesn’t it? But it’s true. And everyone is chomping at the bit to read Beowulf this fall. This is simply based on my own family’s experience over the past 5 years–and the fact that all of my children, wildly different in personality and interest, have succumbed to the delights of poetry. My approach isn’t based on years of study, large samples of students, or a scholar’s research. What if I told you that YOU might even want to pick up an epic poem and read it on your own? What if I told you there was a way that might even entice your kids to want to read a lengthy epic poem? What if I told you there was a better way? Epic Poetry for Fun: a 5-Step Training Regimen Right up there, for me, with the audio recording of Julius Caesar that droned on and on in my ninth grade English class. After all, it was one of the more boring segments of high school English class. You, like me, may have assumed that epic poetry just wasn’t your thing, even if you love to read. Unfortunately, these lovely epic poems are often presented in school as follows: a fair-to-middlin’ introduction on the importance of said poem, a schedule of reading assignments, frequent comprehension quizzes, and analyzing the poem “to the pain” for its allusions, literary style, poetic techniques, and themes. Your teacher might even have assigned something like Longfellow’s The Song of Hiawatha or Evangeline. Do you remember reading (or being assigned to read) one of the following in school? |
