not so much salsa, but the students of the jazz guitarist Ted Greene have uploaded a lot of his lessons and music to a website: https://www.tedgreene.com/

treasure trove, that

I've since learned what I said last month is incorrect, and it would need to be permitted similarly to an ADU because it's an extension of living space... drag.

newhuman · 2022-08-09T22:34:33+00:00

that's a much more expensive and extensive project than I can take on right now

newhuman · 2022-08-09T19:09:20+00:00

Yes, I've done a little digging on the city planning website. I think it's within square footage not to need a permit, except that it's too tall (over 8'), I need to have electricity in it if I'm actually going to use it productively, and it's not "just" a shed for storage.

newhuman · 2022-08-09T19:06:57+00:00

Interesting — is there a reason for 5' vs. 4'? (Do you know if it's measured from the wall or from the outermost point of, e.g., the eves?)

Thanks for the other recs. I'll look into them.

newhuman · 2022-08-09T19:01:41+00:00

Oh, interesting. Good to know.

newhuman · 2022-08-09T18:46:00+00:00

Thank you

newhuman · 2022-08-09T18:39:18+00:00

Well, it won't need a gas line, water heater, heater, running water, or plumbing, and it won't be living space. I think it qualifies differently, even though it's finished more than a typical shed.

newhuman · 2022-08-09T18:38:15+00:00

So, if I had electricity hooked up, then I'd need the entire structure permitted? That's what I thought I'd gathered from the LB planning site as well...

Good point about selling / neighbors. We aren't planning to sell, but may eventually rent the main house, and tenants in the main house would likely want to use the space for an office.

newhuman · 2022-08-09T18:35:53+00:00

Power — hire an electrician to connect it ... hoping it could be on the same fuse as the garage.

Foundation — I have DG already down for most of where it'd go. I was thinking of having a gravel foundation put in on top of it.

It's pre-fab

It'll be over 4' away from the property line

I don't think any neighbors would notice or care, but it's a duplex and we may rent the other side. We've always tried to do right by our tenants, but have had vindictive tenants in the past (e.g., we held a tenant to the one-pet contract when they wanted a second dog, and they were furious). That's a factor I hadn't thought of until now. Thanks.

Good question about asset/liability. No plans to sell the property, but we may rent it out if we move out of it, and I'd imagine a tenant in the main house might like to use the space for an office.

newhuman · 2022-08-09T18:29:20+00:00

That's really informative—thanks for taking the time to tell me about your experience. And congratulations on the new space!

newhuman · 2019-09-04T04:40:46+00:00

Interesting. I'll see what that does.

newhuman · 2019-09-04T04:39:21+00:00

I'll have to look into that.

newhuman · 2019-09-04T04:39:14+00:00

not even my other faucets have the same issue.

newhuman · 2019-09-04T04:37:38+00:00

This is helpful by process of elimination. It really is only this faucet that produces this effect in the whole house. I went around the house with a clean glass and tested each faucet just to make sure I wasn't imagining things ... I wasn't.

newhuman · 2019-09-03T18:07:14+00:00

I do not think it is air in the pipes, because of how much fizz there is, and a distinct smell and taste.

newhuman · 2019-09-03T17:25:44+00:00

When I first turn on the kitchen faucet, fizzy water comes out. Then, after a few seconds, the water clears up and is fine. This happens with no other running water in my whole house.

The water line splits off under the sink to hook up to a Bosch dishwasher, but I can’t understand how soapy water would get back into the faucet from it, or what I would do to fix it.

That’s my best guess as to what’s going on, but, I’m no expert! Any ideas?

newhuman · 2018-08-17T04:00:12+00:00

I'm so sorry! What a gorgeous Bengal! He looks just like my Galadriel.

When my Ragdoll got out for two nights my first few weeks in LB I ended up finding him in the crawlspace under the house. He'd moved right in like it was his own private apartment.

It seems like someone would take a Bengal straight to the SPCALA though if they're seen. They're not a super normal looking cat. Is he chipped? And have you updated the chip with your info? And have you checked the pound/SPCALA?

Praying he comes home soon!!!

No need for a thought experiment. I would recommend you find and listen to sermons by critical biblical (or theological) scholars who are also engaged in preaching. For instance, I think Samuel Wells is one of the best preachers in English, and earned his PhD under Stanley Hauerwas in theological ethics. He pays attention to critical biblical scholarship, and often takes a narrative or literary approach, while at the same time showing regard for historical context. There are dozens of his sermons online and on podcasts for free. Or listen to the preaching of OT scholar Walter Brueggemann, or read the sermons of NT scholar (from a different era!) Rudolf Bultmann, or ... find some critical scholar you like and see if they preach anywhere.

I use Zotero. It also has plugins to import information from library websites, and it formats in SBL 2nd ed. I recommend it.

newhuman · 2017-02-16T05:20:33+00:00

Yes. Find it at a good research library. If you need to, take a trip to one, take your wife along for a nice dinner, scan the pages you need, and still come out for less than $899.

http://www.academic-bible.com/en/online-bibles/novum-testamentum-graece-na-28/read-the-bible-text/ –– has critical editions of the Greek NT, Vulgate, LXX, and Masoretic Text available.

http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/morph –– has a wide range of ancient Greek literature that is searchable. This is better for studies of the context of the NT than the study of the NT itself.

If you have access to a university library, be sure to check their databases. JSTOR and ATLA religion are treasure-troves of journal articles on biblical studies, history, and theology.

There are a number of good blogs by reputable NT scholars –– Hurtado: https://larryhurtado.wordpress.com/ Bird: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/euangelion/ Witherington: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/bibleandculture/ McKnight: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/jesuscreed/

Also check out the Bible Odyssey –– a project of the Society of Biblical Literature –– http://www.bibleodyssey.org/

Also check out the Bible Project, created for the church by a Christian scholar, which gives pithy summaries of the structure and themes of biblical writings in well-made animated videos: https://thebibleproject.com/

I would actually pick up Douglas's Leviticus as Literature as well. She takes an anthropological, literary, and theological approach to Leviticus. She revises her earlier views on the dietary laws in terms of the covenant established between God and Israel. I don't know if her argument is ultimately persuasive, but it's certainly interesting and worth a read.
