The Officejet J5750 is my first home-office move into an all-in-one printer/scanner/copier/scanner device. I’ll never go back to multiple options.
That is not to say that the J5750 is the sturdiest or most reliable HP product I’ve ever owned. It is not. The simple HP1012 and 1200 printers, for example, easily outpace the J5750 on both counts. But then they don’t shoot for the same degree of difficulty as the all-in-one does, either. Continue Reading »

Zechariah inhabits that prophetic intermezzo in which the divine purpose lurches redemptively between well-earned judgment and the most deeply inevitable restorative mercy. It is not a bad place for a poet to live, for the space is rich in drama and pregnant with unanticipated action. Certainty of doom crumbles over and again when YHWH decides he simply cannot continue to curse those whom his heart drives him to bless. Continue Reading »

Point of Grace‘s extraordinary 1998 release displayed the formula working at full strength. Tight harmonies, Bannister-ish orchestration, flawless execution from start to finish, this was an album of Big Songs. There’s not a lot of angst or soul-searching in this album. PoG would only rarely go in that direction. Instead the four women of that era’s PoG majored on encouraging Christian messages with which `positive radio’ makes hay. Continue Reading »

No joy accompanies a prayer that’s been returned to sender. The leaden, silent skies mock our attempts to penetrate them. Our words deflect and fall to the soil that’s been dampened by our tears and packed hard by our restless pacing. Continue Reading »

The biblical proverbs owe a portion of their potency to what we might call the shock-and-recognize phenomenon. The pithy statements that are the warp and woof of this wisdom anthology are capable of startling with the apparent novelty of a declaration, then allowing the reader to settle back into the realization that, yes, he always felt that way but wouldn’t have found the words to say so.

When Hewlett Packard introduced the ‘XL’ version of its Inkjet printer cartridges, I was skeptical. If it’s that easy to fit three times the ink into a cartridge designed for my printer’s unforgiving cartridge socket for roughly twice the price of the standard size, why did HP start out with the smaller size in the first place?
Truth be told, the question still lingers. Continue Reading »

This economical little black-and-white printer may be the most reliable laser printer I’ve ever owned, and I’ve known a few. Our family networks to this printer from several computers scattered around the house via a wireless hub. This assures that it will print small, casual print runs as well as business items from my home office downstairs.
Short story: it never fails.
No alignment problems, no eternally processing virtual logjams, no blurring. Just one sharp print run after another. If HP ever alters the recipe, let’s hope it’s in the direction of some concrete improvement that I cannot at this imagine. Because right now, everything works

With the size and appearance of a slimmed-down Reader’s Digest, the less famous Bird Watcher’s Digest is a chirpy little optimist of a magazine not so very different from, say, a black-capped chickadee.
Short and moderate-sized articles cover specific species, how-to/techniques, choosing the right birding equipment, and joy-of-birding anecdotes.
Advertisements abound but do not overwhelm. Some are quite helpful.
BWD is a perky standard for birders both casual and serious.

La literatura bíblica emplea el verbo hebreo bara’ con reticencia. Notoria por la manera en que describe la creación del mundo en el primer capítulo de Génesis, la palabra adquiere un significado creativo que realiza su vocación léxica en la medida que alude a actos de creación de la nada. Es decir, YHVH de costumbre forma y YHVH de costumbre configura. Pero uno siente que la palabra bara; llega a ser apropiada solo en aquellos momentos cuando YHVH hace algo nuevo de la nada.
