Jon Kaiman brings to his office as Town of North Hempstead Supervisor, a distinguished record of public and private sector accomplishments. His two terms in office has been underscored by has continuation of the Town's tradition of sound finances and good government.
North Hempstead is the seventh largest of approximately 1500 towns, cities and villages in the State of New York. Money Magazine ranked the Town number 46 in its 2008 listing of the "Best 100 Places to Live in America." North Hempstead was one of three communities in New York State to make the list.
Since taking office on January 1, 2004, Kaiman has spearheaded a series of bold initiatives to update the Town's infrastructure and incorporate modern management techniques in day-to-day operations.
Central to his efforts has been the establishment of a 311 Constituent Response System. This new technology provides North Hempstead residents greater access to government, while enhancing efficiency and accountability.
TownStat, another one of Kaiman's key initiatives, is gaining momentum in the town. A performance measurement and management tool, TownStat tracks and reports performance in departments throughout the town with the goal of monitoring the efficiency and effectiveness of how constituents' concerns are addressed.
Yet another of Kaiman's initiatives focuses on partnerships with neighboring municipal entities—more than 100 exists within the town—to cut costs and help save taxpayer dollars. Since the formation in 2006 of the Office of Inter-municipal Coordination, the town has almost fifty inter-municipal agreements with various entities, including villages, special districts, school districts and associations.
As Supervisor, Kaiman has instituted North Hempstead's annual Earth Day Program and Operation Clean Sweep—a month- long, top to bottom "Spring Cleaning" of the Town. During its five years of existence, the program has removed tens of thousands of tons of garbage and debris.Steering the town towards environmentally-friendly alternatives, he has engineered the establishment of a sweeping town-wide recycling initiative, a program that has located recycling containers in all the town's buildings, its network of parks and eight of North Hempstead's 11 school districts.
Kaiman's mission to green North Hempstead also includes the purchase of over 20 hybrid and electric vehicles as well as the staging of various events, such as EcoFest, promoting environmental stewardship.
Another key component of Kaiman's administration is the idea of Community Based Planning. Beginning in 2004, the Town has hosted scores of community-based meetings throughout North Hempstead to address local concerns relating to development projects, planning decisions, park and roadway improvements, and other local issues.
In Kaiman's continuing quest to be responsive to the needs of the community, Kaiman has also initiated Project Independence, a town-wide program born from a pilot launched two years ago in New Hyde Park to help senior citizens "age in place" and access information on basic services such as health care, social worker assistance and community programming.
Kaiman serves also as the Chairman of the town's Solid Waste Management Authority, Commissioner of the Great Neck North Water Authority, and board member of the Long Island Regional Planning Council. He also serves as chair of approximately nineteen non commissioner run special districts operating within the town's borders.
He received a Juris Doctorate from Hofstra University Law School, and a Bachelor of Arts from Hofstra University. Jon was elected in 1999 to the Nassau County District Court, where for two consecutive years he received the highest rating possible from the Nassau County Bar Association's Judicial Screening Committee.

Born in 1983, in Long Island, New York, Michelle Sakhai's extensive world travels began at an early age and her mixed heritage have shaped her as an artist. With both Persian and Japanese roots, her art derives influences from both cultures. She grew up traveling to Japan to visit her family every summer for twenty years. In Japan, Sakhai was inspired by the culture and scenery of her grandparent's hometown, Kashiwazaki, a tiny village by the sea, surrounded by vast mountains. This special place left an indelible impression that still feeds her imagination. Sakhai's creative perception and talent was also nurtured by her Persian culture. The exposure to both traditions in her young life has impacted her artistic vision.
In 2004, Sakhai received a Bachelor of Arts degree with high honors, majoring in Art History and minoring in Fine Arts from Hofstra University where she currently serves on the advisory board for the College of Liberal Arts an Sciences. She went on to receive her Masters in Fine Arts in 2010 from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA. Before obtaining her Masters, she studied in Venice, Italy, and in Barcelona, Spain, at d'Arts Plastique I Disseny (LLOTJA) with the School of Visual Arts. Sakhai also studied at the Marchutz Academy of Fine Art in Aix en Provence. In 2006, she received a grant to attend the Vermont Studio Center as a resident artist in Johnson, VT. Shortly after receiving her Masters in San Francisco, she taught Fine Art at the University of California, Berkeley.
Michelle Sakhai is currently represented by Slate Art Contemporary in Oakland, CA, Madelyn Jordon Fine Art in Scarsdale, NY, Corazon Gallery in Santa Fe, NM, and MiXX Projects in Telluride, CO.

While the images like the Aurora borealis (seen below) are common to many of us. A lot of us recognize it as a scientific phenomena – It is one where the magnetic field of the Earth is excited by solar particles of our Sun.
The phenomenon is viewed as beautiful, and feelings of warmth and love are attributed to its viewing.
In many ways, there is a dichotomy to understanding our world. One of feeling and sentiment and one of analytical understanding based upon rationalism.
The dichotomy of the views present a problem– one can be said to think of the world in one of two ways. However, we can rectify the dichotomy. Rectifying the views requires wisdom.
This wisdom we need utilizing both rationalization and emotional/feeling — bringing together both to an understanding.
The present solutions to our problems are based upon concepts of Sustainability. Will we be wise enough to use the Paradigm of Sustainability to ensure that our progeny can thrive?
Many problems that require humanity's wisdom begin with solutions based upon hope. In this present era, it is known as the (era of Man) Anthropocene. It is fraught with pain and anxiety.
This Era of Man is a wake-up call for all.
Whether it is a La Nina driven hurricane slamming into the Yucatan Peninsula or an extreme high tide inundating the Florida Keys, the effects of human-driven climate change will affect more than just local populations. From journals to popular best-sellers, our planet's challenges are documented.
Answers for the Anthropocene are based upon Sustainability—
Sustainability is the means of meeting the needs of the present while preserving biodiversity and the natural ecosystems for future generations.
A major issue surrounding the paradigm of sustainability is the lack of a crystal ball that the approach is meant to address. Let's face it, when addressing the preparedness of humanity to take on disasters of their own making, our own track record is poor. Putting it succinctly: We can not solve today's problems with yesterday's technologies.
I do have hope, however. I will not give in nor surrender.

Helsingbor center in front of the castle
The castle
Helsingbor from the castle, on the sea there is a ferry coming from Helsingor
In Stockholm we got out of the harbour 6:30. Then we drove on hour to see something green around us. We finally stopped on the lawns of of a sport center (I definetly could not use the rest room in the ferry, neither do anything in the tarmac in the harbour), we had a nice walk around the sport field and got our lunch, too). Then we just drove through Sweden with couple of lousy stops on our way, one a clock we reached Helsingborg, some of us had their lunch (some of us not) and a nice tour around the castle etc before taking the ferry to Helsingor. We just got to the harbour and ferry left in four minutes!
Finally by the sea at our camping
In the morning at Vicaer Camping
After crossing the sea between Sweden and Denmark we just headed (with one tiny stop) for our destination to southern Jutland. The traffic around Copenhagen slowed down our arrival an hour, so we were in the Vikær Strand Camping around seven o'clock, anyway more than hour to walk on the beach in the daylight, well deserved after 12 hours in the car. Here we rested one whole day by visiting the real Atlantic in Römö, on the western side of Jutland. Huge, huge, enormous beaches kilometres long and wide!
Leaving Denmark camping
The bridge between Sjelland and Fyn
In Calais
Next morning the journey continued again at six o'clock. Another day with temperatures above 30, kind of hot outside the car, so nothing but crazy driving through Germany, Netherlands, Belgium to Calais. There we were twelve hours later and had a stupid walk around the harbour area. For the first time of my life I got a sad glance of refugee life seeing the huge camp outside the harbour and the harbour was thoroughly fenced. Again two hours in the harbour before the ferry left for England. There were lots of dogs by the way. All the cars with the dogs were on the same lane/line.
Arrived to UK after sunset, 8:30, so we did not enjoy the walk by the white cliffs, instead on the dark countryside a little bit further from the Dover. Luckily, no interruptions on our way to Cambridge, we passed London smoothly and were by our new house at eleven o'clock. Finally, 17 hours in the car is a LOT!
We are now living in the black buildings by the church.
My new home until mid December
Sometimes you just enjoy the running and freedom more than usually.
New familiar scene, Jinga and me on the other side of the church next to us.
The closest sheep live behind the houses just across the street
The cup of tea house, where the missus was offered nice cup of tea on her last stay, now it is just around the corner.
I guess I am going to enjoy my life in here!

Fallout: New Vegas Dev Obsidian Hiring for Next-Gen Game
Fallout: New Vegas Dev Obsidian Hiring for Next-Gen Game
Obsidian Entertainment is looking to hire a UI artist responsible for creating a "ground breaking user-experience."
Fallout: New Vegas studio Obsidian Entertainment is now actively hiring for an upcoming next-gen game. This was revealed by a job post on the studio's site, where it lists Obsidian as looking for a "Junior/Intermediate UI Artist" to "design the user experience for a next generation game." Not only that, but the same artist will be responsible for "creating a ground breaking user-experience, which sounds fascinating.
Odds are, we won't hear about this title for quite some time since Obsidian does have a lot on their plate at the moment. By my count, the studio is finishing work on South Park: The Stick of Truth, developing fantasy RPG Pillars of Eternity, and launching a new Kickstarter campaign this year. Once you factor in this unannounced next-gen game, that means the studio will possibly be working on four games at the same time.
While every Fallout teaser has been proven to be a fake so far, could Obsidian's next-gen game be a new entry in the post-apocalyptic franchise? Don't forget, the developer has gone on record that they'd love another chance to make another chapter in the series.
Obsidian Entertainment's latest game scheduled for release is South Park: The Stick of Truth, which will be out on March 4 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Source: Obsidian via iGameResponsibly
I have zero interest in Fallout 4, but I would kill for another Fallout game from Obsidian. New Vegas sold well, it could happen.
I think 4 projects on the go at one time is the default for Obsidian. I'm pretty sure they mentioned something similar last year with the cancelled Alien RPG and another unannounced cancelled project.
I doubt this is the new Las Vegas. I'm wondering if someone might have paid them to create a new next-gen IP?
I'm not quite so down on Fallout 4, I think Bethesda have shown they can at least improve on some of their failings and theoretically restructuring their plots so that they actually fit the type of game they want to make, shouldn't be that hard. But I agree Fallout: Los Angeles would be the better game and I'd be way more interested in it.
But I think Fallout 4 would need to come first. I don't feel like Obsidian is the company who should build the tech and design the combat system, they should be the ones using the tech and polishing the combat (whilst keeping up the usual awesome writing)
I love these guy's games, make more please.
It's a sad sad day when Obsidian have to be referred to as "Fallout New Vegas studio" instead of their actual name for the editor to believe the reader will know who it is.
I think it's the fact that a new Fallout title has been in the news so much recently due to various hoaxes and rumours that it'll probably help pull in more views.
Especially given that the author was clearly trying to hint that this is somehow related to a new Fallout game towards the end of the article.
I love how the job description is to:
When it's probably just about making menus for the game. Maybe a HUD at a stretch, they wouldn't want their new employee to be overworked.
nope. its just clickbait since there have been hundreds of fallout 4 news and threads roaming this site for some time.
True, while Escapist makes a lot of great weekly shows and columns, as well as a great forum, it's news posts have so much click bait it's outrageous.
yes, the quality of the news has declined drastically.
... bugless. thats the ground breaking part for obsidian.
Come on, Alpha Protocol 2!
I need another game like the first.
Fallout New Vegas 2: The Wrath of Caesar please!
Here's hoping they also hire a new person in charge of budgeting their time and money realistically before they sign a contract for this new game.
I'd be more impressed if they were hiring beta testers: New Vegas was the most broken game I've ever played.
Okay, my heart kinda took a leap and started fluttering. Whatever it is, I am looking forward to it!
Totally agree. While their gameplay usually isn't bad, it's hardly their biggest strength.
Bah, why couldn't ya ask for a writer? Ah well, I'll wait and see what's in store.
I thought it was the general consensus that the main thing Obsidian's games have going for them are their writing...
They've got the writers and designers; They need programmers.
Zero bugs would be a ground-breaking feature of any game released in the past 10 years.
They've actually been working on a next-gen game for quite a while. Not sure how this qualifies as news.
Also, Obsidian is a pretty big company, so them working on 3-4 projects at the same time is hardly cause for alarm. Alpha Protocol, Fallout: New Vegas and Dungeon Siege III were all released within the same year, I believe.
'Twas not a lament made in seriousness, friend. Do not concern yourself with regards to my offhand comment.
Id like to see them take a shot at Elder Scrolls. I mean think what obsidian could do with a faction system and also have them write it with tensions between the Federation (Empire) and the Dominion. And also imagine everything New Vegas did for Fallout 3 and have that done to Skyrim.

Welcome to Puck-Em.com (handcrafted wooden knee sliders) and Fork Cover.com (Easy to remove neoprene protection for inverted forks)
I'm a middle aged club racer who discovered track riding in 2016. Puck-Em knee sliders was born out of a desire to save money on my track riding addiction. Shortly after starting to ride on the track in 2016 I discovered how expensive knee sliders could be and how easy it is to burn through a pair. I began making my own leather knee sliders. Everything I read claimed that leather sliders were superior to any other slider because of the improved feel. When I almost ripped my leg off the first time my knee touched the ground with my homemade sliders I abandoned leather knee sliders altogether in that moment. 2-part epoxies were expensive, messy, smelly and didn't seem to last very long. When I discovered wood knee sliders I was hooked, but they were heavy, expensive and didn't seem to last long either. I started experimenting with white oak because osage orange and black locust (the hardest wood species in N. America) were difficult to find. After 2 years of trial and error and dozens of design changes I'm proud to offer a slider design that I believe out-performs all other sliders. Puck-Em sliders are made using some of the hardest tropical woods on the planet. Ipe and tigerwood are used to make long lasting decks and lingum vitae is considered to be hardest wood on the planet. I have simplified the design by eliminating the leather backing altogether and use Duragrip brand industrial hook fastener to secure them to the loop fastener of the leather suit.
I love the saying, "Necessity is the mother of invention." In the case of Fork Cover.com it certainly rings true. As an avid track rider and club roadracer I have had my fair share of crashes and know how much damage flying gravel can do when a bike slides off-track. Having painted my own racing fairings I am also aware of how many knicks and dings the bike suffers over time from flying debris, bugs and rocks kicked up by other bikes. I have always been concerned that my front fender didn't fully protect my front fork tubes but I was never motivated enough to install one-piece neoprene fork protectors by removing the forks from the triple trees. And even if I did install them they would inhibit me from checking the zip tie on the inner tube that measures the maximum compression during hard braking. However, when I upgraded my OEM front suspension on my 2012 R6 race bike to Ohlins Road and Track Front forks I felt the need to protect the delicate inner tube. My forks' tubes are coated so are even more delicate than your standard chrome. One rogue rock and there goes that silky smooth finish. So, I began to design my own fork covers. I started the design process with several criteria that the cover must meet:
1) The fork covers must be easily installed and removed without having to take the forks out of the triple trees. One-piece tubular neoprene products like Gybe, Tusk, KTM, Viper or perforated rubber boots for off-road vehicles would require removing the forks in order to slide the cover onto the fork. In addition to being a pain in the butt they would get in the way of checking maximum compression markers on the inner tube. I knew I wanted something that could be installed and removed easily and quickly.
2) The fork covers must completely seal out extremely fine particles including brake dust. One of *Dave Moss' videos includes an interview with a head mechanic from the Yamaha AMA Factory Team. He is taking apart Josh Hayes' front forks and talking about how brake dust gets into the oil and dust seals and causes unwanted stiction and decreases the life of the seals. As a result the forks are disassembled, cleaned and reassembled with new fork seals after every race. Again, neoprene met this criteria. The neoprene I use is a blend of 70% SBR and 30% CR. SBR is the lowest grade neoprene that is used for things like laptop covers and mouse pads. 100% CR is the highest grade neoprene used for things like wetsuits and water sports apparel. The blend was a good compromise in that it is waterproof and yet it's still cost effective. CR grade neoprene is very expensive so my fork covers would cost more than $25 if I used it.
3) The fork covers' material must protect the forks from damage by flying debris or gravel during a crash. Front fenders on modern sport bikes do a pretty good job of protecting inner fork tubes from damage caused by flying debris while riding but a motorcycle sliding in the dirt after a crash can kick up a lot of gravel, and grit. In order to protect the entire fork tube during a crash the fork covers needed to extend the entire length of the fully extended fork tube and compress with the fork as it works. This lead me to the most challenging design problem to solve which I address in the next design criteria.
4) The removable fork covers must be able to flex and compress as the fork works and not create unwanted stiction. The first designs I came up with resembled Seal Savers in that they used velcro running the entire length of the cover to close it around the fork tube. Although they met my first criteria for being removable I noticed that the stiff velcro caused a lot of stiction for the fork to work against. This defeated the point of keeping brake dust out of the seals in order to minimize stiction. The solution came to one while falling asleep one night. The design is based on mimicking the interlocking of fingers of two people playing the thumb war game. I wanted to create two flaps that could be interlocked and keep out brake dust and dirt without needing stiff velcro to do it. In addition to the interlocking flaps, the entire cover is folded over on itself to create a very tight seal that the finest dust cannot penetrate. The straps are used to keep the fork cover from coming up folded and opening. The top 2 do not need to be tight in order to allow the cover to move and flex. The bottom zip tie can be tightened very hard because the bottom of the cover never moves from that position.
If you appreciate the importance of good suspension and would like to
keep your front forks in excellent condition, consider protecting them
with a pair of Fork Cover.com brand fork covers.

A MIDWIFE whose son was left with cerebral palsy after her colleagues made mistakes during his birth has won a legal battle against her former bosses.
Sarah Collier, 38, had enjoyed a trouble-free pregnancy with her second child, Joel, who was born on January 27, 2002.
Joel's heart rate dropped significantly during birth and eventually had to be delivered using forceps. He was resuscitated after birth and tests later showed that he had been asphyxiated.
Joel's solicitor, Angela Curran, expert clinical negligence lawyer and Partner at Irwin Mitchell, says more competent care would have meant Joel would have been born undamaged.
Angela says that Joel underwent 28 and 41 minutes of foetal distress that could have been avoided.
The admission from the Trust has paved the way for Irwin Mitchell to secure a long-term financial settlement that will provide for all of Joel's future care needs.
Joel's dad, Nigel Collier, 38, said they had always strongly suspected that the complications during birth were the reason for Joel's condition, but were reluctant to make a legal claim.
However, he said the difficulties of raising a child with a disability combined with the complexities of securing state support had left the family with little choice. Even when assistance is technically available the family say that it is so inaccessible that most people just give up.
"Sarah was a midwife and knew the staff at the hospital very well. We had often talked about how difficult the job of being a midwife was and how well-intentioned the staff are despite the difficulties and risks inherent in childbirth," he added.
"We were not looking for someone to blame – but establishing what circumstances were responsible for what happened to Joel has become increasingly important to us.
"We were not in favour of pursuing compensation initially, but found the levels of care provided by the state were simply not adequate or inaccessible.
"The social services care has been variable, to say the least, but there was a period of over a year when we did not even have a social worker assigned to us. It is woefully obvious how under-funded the system can be," added Nigel, from Burnopfield, near Gateshead.
"We have had a lot of support from our family and friends and Joel has a big sister, Olivia, who has been fantastically helpful and understanding throughout the whole ordeal."

AbstractThe overall objective of this topic is to build applications that expand the ecosystem of secure software components around the seL4 operating system microkernel. The CTI/SU teams interpretation of this is broad, including an application primarily as a demonstration of the utility of a more fundamental expansion of the ecosystem: to release to the community, as open source, a minimized Trusted Computing Base (TCB) that strongly isolates VMs, supports capability based security and computer resource management, is amenable to independent formal verification and penetration testing, has been formally verified and penetration tested at least once, and facilitates mixed proof / factored security arguments where components vary in their trustworthiness and pedigree. The objective of Phase II is to develop secure software components together with a demonstration application, on top of seL4. The secure software components will be the Syracuse Assured Boot Loader Executive (SABLE) and the Genode operating system framework. The demonstration application will be the Geographically Aware & Target Secure Information Dissemination (GATSID) pub-sub-query DDS. The real impact is that developers are enabled to construct explicitly mixed-trust systems on a trustworthy base and administrators are enabled to assess objectively the trust they should repose in such systems.

Take a look at the image above. Now replace all of the "possible side effects" with cancer.
That about sums up all the things on this planet. A little too much of anything and it can give you cancer. Why? Because all it takes is one wrong mutation in the DNA of a cell, and it will grow and replicate rapidly and out of control.
I'm a smart girl. I don't do stupid things like smoke, but I'm not about to shut myself away from the world in order to stop something like this. The reason I bring this up is because today in my pharmacology class, we learned that deep fried potatoes of any sort increase the risk of cancer (and its not the fat or grease, its the potatoes). You know what else? So does cooking red meat and poultry above 120 degrees, and the point at which the FDA says you should cook meat is 140 degrees. Oh, eggs cause cancer, too!
I have sympathy for anyone who is unfortunate enough to have cancer. I hope that I never get cancer. But some things I'm just not willing to do.
What are some things that cause cancer that you think are ridiculous? Do you agree with me?

9. The limitations of Earth's great Week.
We are well aware that in broaching this point we shall probably evoke the criticism of honored brethren and be charged with "setting a date" for the Return of our Lord. Nevertheless, we feel constrained to set down our honest convictions, only asking our readers to examine in the light of Holy Writ what we now advance tentatively and not dogmatically.
In ancient times it was commonly held by Jewish rabbis before our Lord's first advent, and by many of the most eminent of the church fathers afterwards, that the Creation week of Genesis one defined the limits of earth's history. Before we proceed with our argument we shall first quote from three who lived in the second and third centuries, not that we appeal to them as authorities, but simply to show that the view was commonly held in the century which immediately followed the apostles and before the Blessed Hope was lost.
In the thirteenth chapter of the apocryphal Epistle of Barnabas, written about 150 A.D., we read—"God made in six days the works of His hands, and He finished them the seventh day, and He rested the seventh day and sanctified it. Consider, my children, what this signifies: He finished them in six days. The meaning of it is this: that in six thousand years the Lord will bring all things to an end. For with Him one day is a thousand years, as Himself testifieth. Therefore, children, in six days, that is, in six thousand years—Shall all things be accomplished. And what is that He saith, And He rested the seventh day? He meaneth this: that when His Son shall come, and abolish the season of the wicked one, and judge the ungodly, and shall change the sun, moon and stars, then He shall gloriously rest in that seventh day. ** Behold, He will then truly sanctify it with blessed rest, when we (having received the righteous promise, when iniquity shall be no more, all things being renewed by the Lord) shall be able to sanctify it, being ourselves first made holy."
Next we quote from the writings of the distinguished Irenaeus who was a disciple of Polycarp, who, in turn, was a disciple of John the apostle. It has been said that "for learning, steadfastness and zeal, he was amongst the most renowned of the early fathers." Consider then his testimony—"In whatever number of days the world was created, in the same number of thousands of years it will come to its consummation. God, on the sixth day, finished the works which He made; and God rested on the seventh day from all His works. This is a history of the past and a prophecy of the future; for a day with the Lord is as a thousand years." Similarly, Cyprian, bishop of Carthage, who was martyred in the year 258, wrote—"In the Divine arrangement of the world, seven days were at first employed, and in them seven thousand years were included."
It may be objected to the above quotations that they are merely the opinions and speculations of fallible men, and that their views find no warrant in the Word of God. It is true that they were the beliefs of eminent saints, beliefs which were shared by many of God's people in ancient times, and it is also true that this appeal to antiquity is no proof of the authenticity of the view we now advocate; but to say that it is has no warrant in God's Word is more than we are prepared to admit, yea, as we shall seek to show there is not a little in the Scriptures which seems to countenance and confirm it.
First, we would appeal to the Septenary system of the sacred calendar of Israel. Here we cannot do better than quote from the late Dr. Johnson—"Through the whole Scripture, both of the Old and New Testaments, there is a striking typical representation of some great and important Sabbath, as a great septenary that has not yet taken place, and which evidently appears to be the Millenarian Septenary, as the great Sabbath of the whole earth. God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it. In the Decalogue this peculiar distinguishment of the seventh day, or weekly sabbath, was most solemnly renewed. Every seventh year was appointed a sabbatical year. And the commencement of the year of jubilee which was every fiftieth year, was to be fixed by the running of a septenary of sabbatical years. "Thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years, and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years" (Lev. 25:8). The number seven, because used in Scripture to complete all the sacred divisions of times, was regarded by the Jews as the symbol of perfection, and is used in this sense in Scripture. The question then arises, Is it to be supposed that all these events, which are interwoven with the Mosaic dispensation, which was itself symbolical or typical, and which are introduced into the New Testament, and abound so much in the Book of Revelation, have no antetype to correspond to them?—no great sabbatical septenary to which they all point and in which they all shall be accomplished? Is it not highly probable that they are all typical of the seventh millenary of the earth, which is the great Sabbath?" To which we answer, we certainly believe so.
Second; God is a God of order. In Scripture, in creation and in history, we find innumerable evidences that God works according to a mathematical plan. Numerical design is stamped upon all His handiwork. This fact is so freely recognized that we need not pause to illustrate. What we would now ask is, Is it likely that in His great dispensational plan He has departed from His general rule? We cannot believe it. But we are not left to bare conjecture. That part of God's age plan which is already before us gives plain intimation that He who knows the end from the beginning and has "framed the ages" (Heb. 1:2-Greek) has appointed symmetrical lines to the main divisions and the limits of the world's history. From Adam to Abraham there were two thousand years. From Abraham to the Divine incarnation there was another two thousand years. May there not be another two thousands years then between the first and the second advents? We firmly believe there will be. God's ways in the past foreshadow His dealings in the future, for He changeth not. That the proportions of the present dispensation will correspond with the preceding two great divisions of the world's time we shall seek to demonstrate in our next argument.
Third; we would here call attention to a statement made in connection with the resurrection of Lazarus. In John 11:6, 7 we learn that "When He had heard therefore that he (Lazarus) was sick, He abode two days still in the same place where He was. Then after that saith He to His disciples, Let us go into Judea again." Why are we told the exact length of time our Lord remained away from Judea after that He received word of Lazarus' sickness? There must be some good reason for the record of this fact. There is nothing superfluous or meaningless in God's Word. We believe that there is a deeper meaning to this than appears on the surface. Before we suggest what this meaning is, let us note another important word in this connection. In John 11:17 we read "Then when Jesus came, He found that he (Lazarus) had lain in the grave four days already." Again, we ask, Why this information concerning the precise number of days that Lazarus had lain in the grave? Is the answer far to seek? Did not Lazarus typify the condition of man at that time?—the time of the first advent, the time "when Jesus came." In what condition did the Son of God find the one who had been made in His own image? He found him dead—dead in trespasses and sins. And how long had man been in this state? According to God's estimate of time—a thousand years as a day—exactly four days, for there can be little doubt that from Adam to Christ was just that length of time. Here then is the key to the "two days" of verse 6. Lazarus not only represented the natural man in his spiritually dead condition, but as the one whom "Jesus loved" he typified the nation of Israel, and just as Christ, after abiding for two days outside the land, said "Let us go into Judea again" and there, and then, raised Lazarus, so after two thousand years absence from the earth, our Lord shall return to Judea and restore Israel to life. "A fanciful supposition" says someone. Not at all, is our reply. Our conclusion is in perfect harmony with the express testimony of Scripture. Listen, "After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight" (Hosea 6:2)!
If further proof be required to show that our Lord will be absent from the earth "two days" (two thousand years) we have another typical hint in John 4:43, 45—"Now after two days He departed thence, and went into Galilee. ** Then when He was come into Galilee, the Galileans received Him," and then follows the record of the healing of the nobleman's son. Who can fail to see in this dispensational picture which will be realized in the millennium! As John 11 presents our Lord's return to Judea after an interval of "two days" which is followed, typically, by the restoration of Israel, so here, in John 4, after "two days" our Lord comes into Galilee "of the Gentiles" which is followed, typically, by their "healing"! The same time-mark is found in John 2:1. It was on 'the third day" - after "two days" that "there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee," where the wine (symbol of joy, see Ps. 104:15) is provided by Christ—the "best" kept till "the last" and where He "manifested forth His glory" (vs. 11)—how perfect the type!—which clearly pictures another millennial scene, and this also is on "the third day"—the "third" after two days absence from the earth! Still other illustrations might be adduced but these are sufficient. "Four days" from Adam to the first advent, "two days" of absence, making a total of six (6,000 years) and then the Lord returns to usher in the "seventh day," the Millennium, when the sick will be healed, the dead raised, the wine provided, and the glory of Christ fully manifested.
Fourth; in 2 Pet. 3:8 we read, "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." Two things here are to be particularly noted. First, the immediate context of these words directly connects them with the second advent of Christ! In verses 3 and 4 the apostle tells us that in the last days "scoffers" should ask, "Where is the promise of His coming?" to which they add, "for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." The force of this is obvious: men will point to the world around and declare that everything is stable and prosperous, refusing to see any indications of the approaching doom of Christendom. In reply the apostle declares, "For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the Word of God the heavens which were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." Having silenced the objection of the "scoffers," the apostle now addresses himself to the saints, saying, "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." Thus we see that these words are directly connected with the subject of our Lord's return. In the second place, observe the words, "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing." The "be not ignorant" is in apposition to the "this they (the "scoffers") willingly are ignorant of" (vs. 5). The "this one thing" calls attention to the importance of what he was about to say. God forbid that His people today should be "willingly ignorant of" what He has been pleased to make known to us. If, then, Scripture distinctly tells us that "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day," are we not fully justified in concluding that the six days' work of Genesis one foreshadowed six thousand years of human toil and labor, and that the seventh day, the Sabbath, which God "blessed" and "sanctified" and on which He "rested from all His work" typified that dispensation of blessing which shall follow the six thousand years of human effort, a dispensation over which the Prince of Peace shall preside, and a dispensation which will last exactly "a thousand years"!
Fifth; as we have pointed out in an earlier chapter, the Transfiguration upon the holy mount was a seventh day scene. Matthew says, "And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them" (Matt. 17:1, 2). Luke says, "And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings. He took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. And as He prayed, the fashion of His countenance was altered, and His rainment was white and glistering" (Luke 9:28, 29). Why these time-marks? The "transfiguration" was a spectacular setting forth of the leading features and characteristics of the millennial kingdom, and the fact that the Gospels present this as a seventh day scene certainly seems to add weight to the conclusion that the Millennium will follow six thousand years (six days) of human toil and labor, and thus be the antitypical fulfillment of the seventh day of Gen. 2:3.
Sixth; the Millennium is distinctly termed "a Sabbath-keeping"—Heb. 4:9.
Seventh, whatever may be thought of what we have advanced above, personally, we know of nothing whatever in Scripture which contradicts it. It is true that Acts 1:7 is often appealed to but it is clear from 1 Thess. 5:1–7 that it will not bear the construction that is frequently placed upon it. We may be considered "fanciful," but if so, we are fanciful in company with a goodly and godly number—"Luther entertained it. Melancthon wrote it on the fly-leaf of his Bible, as a matter not to be disputed. Thousands of divines since his time have received it as part of their faith. And when we come, to place together certain statements of the Scriptures, there seems to me to be a weight of testimony in its favor sufficient to warrant us in regarding it as sacred truth. Look at these sentences:—
"In six days the Lord made heaven and earth."
"On the seventh day He rested and was refreshed."
"One day is with the Lord as a thousand years."
"There remaineth therefore a keeping of Sabbath to the people of God." (Quoted from "The Last Times" by J. A. Seiss).
What then is the practical value of this computation? This, that it furnishes us with another proof that the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. No doubt there is Divine design about the present confusion in human chronology. It is impossible for us to ascertain with certainty the precise year of grace in which we are now living. But it is almost certain, as certain as any human calculation can be, that the year 5900 A.M. was passed considerably more than a decade ago, and therefore less than a century is now required to complete the sixth millennium. The end of the sixth day is nigh at hand, and as we know that the Tribulation period which follows the Rapture will last at least seven years and probably much longer, then the descent of Christ into the air to catch up His saints to Himself is that much nearer still. Let it be distinctly understood that the period of "two days" when our Lord is absent, has to do with His absence from the earth and that His coming back to the earth at the close of the 6000 years to usher in the Millennium follows some years after the first stage of His second advent, so that in no sense are we "fixing a date" for the coming of Christ for His saints—the date of that event is absolutely "hidden in God." Yet, as we say, we know that the approximate time this must be very near, because at the close of the present century (and how far this century has progressed we cannot say for certain) the Millennium itself will begin, and before that arrives there is the Tribulation period which may last forty or even seventy years. Consider now—

So, I'm sure most people had heard of the Ryder Cup before this year, but not me. I honestly thought it was a horse-related thing, but turns out, I was thinking of the Breeder's Cup, which was here a couple of years ago. Obviously, I am NOT a huge golf fan (I will sometimes tune in to watch Tiger, but it's usually just by mistake) and wasn't exactly clear on how big of a deal this whole thing is. Anyway, Valhalla is super close to our house, so for the last week we've been dealing with bus and tourist traffic related to the Ryder Cup - although it's been pretty cool to see the blimp thing floating around - Connor really likes watching it.
Last night my parents watched Connor and we headed out to dinner at Bravos and then to Fourth Street Live for a little while afterwards since there were a lot of things going on down there in celebration of the Ryder Cup. There was a live band outside and the weather was perfect, making the venue pretty impressive, especially to those who are visiting from out of town. It almost felt like we were in a different city last night because there was such a diverse mix of people there. Louisville, from what I have seen, has really done a great job hosting this huge event, especially while still recovering from the worst wind storm ever!
Finally, I think everyone in our neighborhood has power! It's a good thing too because we were starting to get dirty looks from other drivers in the hood who saw us opening our garage door without actually getting out of the car and lifting it up! :) Hopefully this means Bunco is back on for tomorrow night.
Now, to more important, and quite frankly, more interesting topics. NEW SHOWS START TONIGHT!!! The ones I am most looking forward to are: Desperate Housewives, Gray's Anatomy, Private Practice and The Office. We also dabble in Two and a Half Men, New Adventures of Old Christine and Thirty Rock. I would like to start getting into Cashmere Mafia this year, so I'm going to work on Tivo-ing and actually watching that!
T minus 6 days until Connor's party! I've filled the pinata and have everything organized in our bedroom (can't wait to get all this crap out of here!!) and Jamie's mom comes in on Wednesday, which will be a huge help! My only concern about the whole thing is Connor's sleeping pattern being so 'off' from his usual schedule. Yesterday, he took a nap from 10am until almost 4 pm!!! I went upstairs and checked on him at least 3 times because I wanted to make sure he was still breathing!! Usually, he'll take 2 naps - one in the morning and then one in the early afternoon. I'm not sure if yesterday is a sign that he's ready to start taking just one nap (although 6 hours is crazy!) or if maybe it was just a fluke, but this next week should be interesting. He's also been getting up about an hour earlier than he used to (no idea why) so I guess my little man is just growing up and his sleeping needs are changing!
We have a big week coming up including: Grammy coming in town, getting pictures taken at a studio, Birthday dinner on Friday, and then Birthday Party on Saturday --- so I'll try to post and let you in on how things are going!
