The Fire Of The Furnace. The Origin of the Burning Man Culture.

"Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people, based on principles and ethics embodied in the Bible (Tanakh) and the Talmud. According to Jewish tradition, the history of Judaism begins with the Covenant between God and Abraham (ca. 2000 BCE), the patriarch and progenitor of the Jewish people. Judaism is the first recorded monotheistic faith and among the oldest religious traditions still in practice today. Jewish history and doctrines have influenced other religions such as Christianity, Islam, Samaritanism and the Bahá'í Faith."

"Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up."

"Getting blanks for the corrector lens was going to be a problem. As it didn't have to be optical glass I decided to use plate. First I had to cut out four 150mm. diametes discs from a piece of 15mm. plate. My practice is to always make more than one. This allows for accidents and second tries. I thought of cutting the discs out with a biscuit cutter and carborundurn powder. But I found a place Jet-Cut that had a machine using high pressure water and garnet abrasive who could cut them out. This was quite fast as the finish on the outside was not fussy. I intended grinding this later. Most of the time went in programming the computor that controls the machine."
