Read more about Ochheuteal Beach
It may be difficult to pronounce, but the name certainly hasn't put people off the longest and most popular beach in Sihanoukville. Many actually know Ochheuteal beach as Serendipity, which actually refers to the western patch of sand.
Much of Occheuteal is dedicated to food stalls and small bamboo bars, but the southern stretch is largely deserted, save for a development project, including a golf course, which has seemingly been under construction forever.
While Serendipity has the bulk of the beach hotels and guesthouses, the restaurants and bars stretch for much more of the full length of the beach, with the far end playing host to the on-again off-again joints that offer free accommodation in the low season (you're expected to either eat and drink at the place frequently or help them distribute flyers ...

As our open government laws struggle to keep up in an electronic age, the idea that Nashua's top elected leaders on the Board of Aldermen could be chatting with each other through their Gmail accounts brings up a huge question of accountability. It's a dilemma that could present itself in virtually any city hall in the country and it's a challenge for the newsrooms that cover them.

The problem is that the player does not recognize that extension when a standalone file. Try the same file but relabel the extension .MPG put it on a disc and see if it plays. Weird I know but I've taken both MPEG-2 and AVC streams muxed to a MPEG-2 transport stream container which wouldn't play with the .ts or m2ts extension but rename it to the program stream extension .MPG and it would play.

SOURCE Research and Markets
DUBLIN, February 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/q83n96/solid_state) has announced the addition of the "Solid State Lighting Market - Analysis & Forecast to 2018" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
The Solid State Lighting Market has transcended from traditional lighting technologies such as CFL and CCFL to LED lighting. However, persistent financial turmoil in the U.S., economic slowdowns experienced by emerging economies such as India and Brazil, along with the debt crisis faced by European countries have adversely affected the lighting market.
Automobiles have been hugely benefited from LED backlighting. Long life, reduced size, energy efficient, and light adjusting capabilities have resulted in the acceptance of LED TFT-LCD backlighting in automobiles. Traditionally, LEDs were only used in dashboards mainly for infotainment, now they have expanded its usage into front and trail lighting. The lifespan of installed LED is higher than the automobile's lifespan. Secondly, its light adjusting capabilities that are driven by high performance IC's are beneficial for automotive sector.
LED manufacturers are shifting their focus to producing lighting products due to decreasing demand in backlighting applications. The main reason for the decrease in backlighting applications is the higher penetration of OLEDs in the display market. Going forward, with decreasing production costs, prices of OLED panels will decline and OLED will further penetrate into the display market replacing LCD and LED display technologies. Scores of Asian companies such as Samsung LED Co. Ltd (South Korea) and LG Innotek Co. Ltd. (South Korea)have geared up to emerge as dominant players in the OLED equipment and materials market. The PLED market is still in its nascent stage of production, and has not been fully commercialized. Production of PLED has been restricted to small displays with limited number of applications.
The total market is expected to reach $56.79billion by 2018, at a CAGR of 18.7% from 2013 to 2018. APAC leads the overall global Solid State Lighting market for the largest percentage share with 49.8% in 2012. North America and Europe follows the APAC region with 23.9% and 19.9% of the overall SSL market respectively.

It may improve your confidence on the dance floor, but too much alcohol can strip your skin of moisture, leaving it looking dull and clogged—as can a face full of makeup left on overnight. To minimize the damage, always wash your face before bed. "I don't care if you're barely conscious," says Patricia Wexler, M.D., a cosmetic dermatologist in New York City. If you're too exhausted to stand over the sink, use cleansing wipes.
After washing, layer a lotion with niacin, a form of vitamin B, over clean skin to ease redness and inflammation. Then dab on an eye cream with caffeine, cucumber or peptides to zap puffiness before bed.

Since 1990, on an annual basis, the Louisiana Department of Education has published a very detailed district-level report containing detailed data on numerous educational indicators providing a longitudinal view of educational progress for every public school. The report, containing six years of data for various indicators and referred to as the District Composite Report (DCR), was intended to serve as an effective tool to aid policymakers and district administrators in identifying opportunities for school improvement.
In order to provide such important information to a much wider audience and on a more-timely basis, the Division of Strategic Research and Analysis of the Louisiana Department of Education has created an online version of the DCR. This latest 2.1 edition of our software represents a much-upgraded version providing users with advanced capabilities and features to include colorful comparative and longitudinal charts for all indicators, selection and comparison of indicator results among various entities, and the ability to generate customized graphical reports at the school, district, and state levels. As a comprehensive, longitudinal repository, it provides the most current, available Louisiana education data on schools and districts. The desired data can be viewed and compared online or printed as fully formatted PDF reports. Additionally, all or selected data and reports can be exported and saved (in both Excel and PDF formats) to a computer. Please see What's New in 2.1 for a summary listing of new features and capabilities.
Please send your comments or questions about this website or its contents to the Louisiana Department of Education at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The system has been updated with all available 2012-13 data as of 4/16/2014.It will be continuously updated as additional, more recent data become available.

The Effect of Bridge Design on Weight Bearing Capacity
|Time Required
|Average (6-10 days)
|Material Availability
|Most items can be obtained locally but may require visiting multiple stores.
|Average ($50 - $100)
|No issues
AbstractBuild model bridges and then deliberately destroy them? Who'd be crazy enough to try that?
The goal of this project is to investigate which type of bridge has the greatest weight bearing capacity.
Terik Daly and Andrew Olson, Ph.D., Science Buddies
Share your story with Science Buddies!I Did This Project! Please log in and let us know how things went.
Last edit date: 2013-09-05
There are many different types of bridges, from simple plank bridges spanning a small stream to elegant suspension bridges supported by tall towers and soaring cables. Other bridges are supported with the structure of the arch, which was used by Roman engineers thousands of years ago. Yet another bridge type is the truss bridge, which gets its strength from a framework of triangles shaped from steel.
Deciding which bridge type to build for a particular location depends on many factors. What type of traffic will cross the bridge? What passes underneath the bridge? What locations are available for foundations for the bridge? How much money is available for building the bridge? What materials are to be used for building the bridge? See the "SuperBridge" website (WGBH, 1997) for an online exercise in picking the correct bridge for a particular site.
In this project, you will do background research to learn about the different types of bridges. In addition to your online and library research, you should also pay attention to the structure of bridges in your area. You will make models of at least three different bridge types, and then test each model to see how much weight it can support. Perhaps you will want to design one or more of your models to resemble a bridge near you.
Terms and Concepts
To do this project, you should do research that enables you to understand the following terms and concepts:
- Strength-to-weight ratio
- Different bridge types:
- Plank
- Arch
- Truss
- Suspension
More advanced students will also want to study the forces involved:
- Compression
- Tension

Experimental Procedure
- Do your background research so that you are knowledgeable about different types of bridges: how they are constructed and the strengths and weaknesses of each type.
- We will show you two different bridges with two different materials: a Warren truss bridge built with Popsicle sticks and a Howe truss bridge built with straws. See Figure 1, below. We will also show you some tips and tricks for building bridges with Popsicle sticks and straws. After you build these two bridges, you will have the skills you need to build bridges you design yourself.
|Figure 1. We will show you how to build (A) a Warren truss Popsicle stick bridge and (B) a Howe truss straw bridge.
- Draw a full-scale schematic of your bridge design. Graph paper makes drawing good schematics easier,
and a good schematic makes building a bridge much easier. Download schematics for the
Warren truss Popsicle stick bridge (pdf)
and the
Howe truss straw bridge (pdf).
- Aqua Phoneix Kit: The kit includes full-size, 11 by 17 inch printouts of both bridge schematics.
- Construct your models. The schematics for the Popsicle stick and straw bridges you downloaded in step 3 have instructions for making those specific bridges. Lay out the bridge pieces on the schematic you have made or downloaded. The schematic shows you exactly where each piece needs to go. Here are some general tips and tricks to help you as you build bridges.
- Tips for Popsicle Stick Bridges:
- Choose your Popsicle sticks carefully. Look for straight, unbroken, knot-free sticks. Weak Popsicle sticks will make a weak bridge. See Figure 2, below, for examples of Popsicle sticks to avoid.
- Pay careful attention to glue work at joints. Do not use too much glue—if glue oozes out from between the joint, you have used too much. Wipe off the excess and apply less glue next time. See Figure 3, below to see about how much glue to use.
- After you glue a joint, clamp the joint with a binder clip and keep the binder clip on until the glue in the joint is completely dry. Without clamps, the bond between Popsicles sticks is quite weak. Figures 4, below, show some different ways to use binder clips as clamps.
- Because you need to let the glue dry completely before removing the clamps, you may find it easiest to build the bridge in steps: assemble the top and bottoms chords, let the glue dry and remove clamps. Then assemble the sides of the bridge, let the glue dry and remove clamps. Finally, add the cross pieces, let the glue dry, and remove clamps.
- It is important that the bridge's sides are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the floor. Otherwise, the load will not be evenly distributed. Before adding cross pieces, use masking tape to tape the two sides of the bridge to boxes, books, or similar objects to hold the sides parallel while you attach the cross pieces. See Figure 5, below.
- For the strongest joints, let your finished bridge cure for a day or two before testing it. If you are going to compare the performance of two bridges make sure to let them cure for the same amount of time.
Figure 2. Examples of poor-quality Popsicle sticks. Avoid (A) bowed sticks, (B) knotty sticks, (C) bent or curved sticks, and (D) broken sticks. (E) is another example of what knots can look like. Figure 3. Use a cotton swab to spread a very thin layer of wood glue, as shown on the top stick. Or, apply a thin line of glue down the middle of the stick, as shown on the bottom stick. Figure 4. How to use binder clips as clamps. (A) For long, double-thick pieces like top and bottom chords, simply clamp the sticks together every couple of inches. (B) For triangles, clamp the joint at each corner of the triangle. (C) When you attach the triangles to the top and bottom chords, clamp around both the triangle and the chord. (D) Each contact between the chords and triangles needs to be clamped. (E) For attaching top and bottom cross pieces, use a medium binder clip to clamp around the cross piece and chord. Use two clips per cross support, one at each end. (F) Clamp every contact between cross pieces and chords. Remember to let the glue dry completely before removing clamps. Figure 5. (A) Tape the sides of the bridge to boxes, a stack of books, pieces of wood, or something similar, to keep the sides parallel while you add the cross pieces. (B) Bring the two sides of the bridge together, until they are about a Popsicle stick's length apart. Then add cross pieces.
- Tips for Straw Bridges:
- Avoid wrapping tape around the joints so tightly that you bend or deform the straws. See Figure 6, below, for what you do not want to happen.
- As you assemble larger pieces, like the bridge base and trusses, make sure the pieces lay flat. If you tape them too tightly, the entire base or truss may be twisted. If they twist, your bridge won't be very sturdy. Figure 7, below, shows what a flat bridge base looks like.
- When it comes to connecting straw pieces that are perpendicular to each other, a handy little two-piece taping technique is helpful, as shown in Figure 8, below.
- The diagonal supports in the truss (see Figure 9, below) will probably need to be cut to a slightly different length than the ideal length given in the bridge schematic. Cut the supports to whatever length best fits the truss.
Figure 6. If you tape the straws too tightly, they will deform, which weakens the bridge. (A) The ends of these straws are taped too tightly, so the middle of the straws bow away from each other. (B) These straws were also taped too tightly, so they twisted. You want taped straws to lay flat, without any twisting. Figure 7. This bridge base lies flat against the ground. This is what you want. If you tape pieces too tightly, then parts of the bridge may not lay flat. Figure 8. A handy two-piece taping technique. (A) Lay the two pieces perpendicular to each other, with a piece of clear tape placed as shown. (B) Fold the clear tape over Straw 1. (C) Put a second piece of tape Straw 2, near where Straw 2 meets Straw 1. (D) Wrap the second piece of tape around Straw 2. This second piece of tape keeps the first piece of tape from falling off. Figure 9. The lengths of the diagonal supports on your bridge truss will probably need to be adjusted from the ideal lengths given in the schematic. Cut the diagonal supports so that they fit from the bottom of a vertical support to the top of a vertical support.
- Tips for Popsicle Stick Bridges:
- Take photographs of each of your model bridges for your display board and lab notebook.
- Weigh each bridge before testing it so that you can calculate the bridge's strength-to-weight ratio after you break the bridge.
- Test how much weight each bridge can bear. Figure 10, below, shows you how to do this.
- Place the bridge to be tested between two supports (e.g., tables, workbenches, chairs, stacks of books, etc.). The bridge needs to be high enough off the ground to hang a container with weights underneath it. It is best if the container is close to the ground so it does not have far to fall when the bridge collapses.
- Place the loading block on the top, center of the bridge (see Figure 11, below), and tie a rope from the loading block to the container you will use to load the bridge. In Figure 10, below, the loading container is a bucket. The bottom of the loading container should be 3 to 6 inches above the floor.
- If you have a video camera, now is the time to start recording!
- Gradually add weight (e.g., metal, sand, or water) to the container. If you use water you may want to put it is in capped bottles to avoid splashing when the bridge breaks.
- Observe the bridge as you gradually add weight, and note any changes that you observe. Add weight until the bridge breaks. Can you identify which part(s) of the bridge failed first? (Video playback can be helpful here, if you have a video camera.)
- When the bridge fails, weigh the container. Record the weight that caused each bridge to collapse.
|Figure 10. Setup for breaking bridges. Put the bridge between two supports, and center the loading block on top of the bridge. Attach the loading container (a bucket, in this photo) to the loading block. Slowly add weight to the loading container until the bridge breaks.
|Figure 11. Place the loading block on top of the bridge, in the middle of the bridge. If you make your own loading block, make sure it is slightly wider than your bridge.
- Take photographs of each of your collapsed bridges for your display board.
- Calculate the weight-to-strength ratio of the bridge by dividing the mass it took to break the bridge by the mass of the bridge itself, as shown in Equation 1, below. Make sure to use the same units for the mass of the load and mass of the bridge.
Equation 1:Strength-to-weight ratio = Mass of load that broke bridge/Mass of bridge
- Now that you have built a Warren truss bridge from Popsicle sticks and a Howe truss bridge from straws, it is your turn to design bridges. Choose your materials, make your designs, and test them. How strong a bridge can you design?

Bridges can cerry more tha most kids think.
What problems did you encounter?
My group and I did not use materials accurately.I go to .... well I went Simonton Elementary and over there my gifted teacher told us to create a brigde useing marsmellows and toothpicks. After we created our bridge we testeit out and it cariied about 1 and 1/2 pounds of objects. Over all it was a sticky,fun, messsy (in a good way)project!

The Face of Freedom: Stirring Portraits of the Statue of Liberty
This year, on the Fourth of July, the Statue of Liberty will reopen to the public after being closed for eight months due to major damage from 2012′s Hurricane Sandy. It's fitting, of course, that Lady Liberty, with her distinctive light-green patina, will once again welcome — on Independence Day — countless pilgrims from America and around the globe eager to visit the 150-foot (300 feet from ground to torch) copper-clad emblem of freedom. After all, if one sight in all the world immediately signals "welcome," it's Lady Liberty standing tall above New York Harbor.
The reopening of the iconic monument on July 4, meanwhile, reminds us that LIFE magazine once offered some thoughts on the nature of Independence Day that sound, to our modern ears, at-once quaint and — despite the dull, predictable snark that dominates contemporary culture — somehow still quite genuine. Still quite true.
The Fourth of July, although it originated in the hot spirit of defiance and the powder smell of revolution, is a quiet holiday. In the small cities the crowds gather beneath bunting and flags to watch their parades. In the picnic grounds the orators sweat and strain to produce three cheers for liberty. Yet everywhere … the crowds are in shirtsleeves and cotton dresses, relaxed, having a good, long, easy day, taking their liberty for granted, a a little embarrassed by all the fancy talk. In the cool of the evening many Americans will express their unselfconscious patriotism in the thought, "This has been a pleasant day and this is a pleasant land." For in early July, on the nation's birthday, the land is at its best.
In celebration of the Statue of Liberty's re-opening, and in acknowledgement that "America's birthday" is, despite everything, still worth commemorating, LIFE.com presents a series of photos of Lady Liberty as captured by LIFE photographers through the years.
Happy Fourth of July, everyone.

Police want to find the man who sent bullets flying into homes as people slept early Friday, hitting one man hit in his own bed.
FOX 29's Dave Schratwieser talked to the victim later in the day and filed this report from the city's Wynnefield section.
"It came through and hit my shoulder right here," said 22-year-old Oliver Robinson, who was fast asleep in his third-floor bedroom at 53rd and Euclid early Friday morning.
That's when there was a burst of gunfire outside.
"Do, do, do, do, do ... then I got hit and I bounced up," Robinson said mimicking the gunfire.
Robinson says he felt a pain in his right shoulder. His brother saw the blood and told him he'd been shot.
"I got shot right here," he said, showing reporters his bandaged up wounds. "It's actually like three open wounds right here."
It turns out Robinson was the innocent victim of some punk with what police say was an assault weapon.
Seventeen shots were fired into the corner home and the house next door just after 2 a.m.
The high-caliber bullets pierced windows, walls and crashed into the brick exterior.
Robinson was treated at the hospital for his shoulder wound and released, lucky to be alive.
"I survived and I'm lucky. Some people might call that brave. I don't see how that's called brave. I'll just call it lucky," Robinson told Schratwieser.
Robinson's neighbor, Al Lanier, was asleep in a rear bedroom when the gun shots crashed through his walls.
"I just jumped to the floor. I'm just sitting there praying, please let this stop," Lanier told FOX 29's Steve Keeley on "Good Day Philadelphia."
"Sounded like a war zone out here," another neighbor said. "Like war rifle or something. It's sad cause that person and that gun is still out here."
"The police gotta catch this guy," Robinson said. "This is making this city less fun to live in. Now I am about to move because I can't take this."
Police are still searching for the gunman. Police say 10 people live in Robinson's three-story residence. Five people live in the house next door. Police don't know yet if the gunman was targeting someone else in Robinson's house.
Mayor Michael Nutter called the gunman "a nutcase" and demanded that action be taken soon to get assault weapons off the streets.
Police in Camden County are asking drivers to be alert after two carjackings since this weekend along one city street.

I can't believe there isn't a dedicated American Vampire thread.
Scott Snyder is doing wonderful work. I just finished the first hardcover this morning and I loved it. The art was phenomenal. He did a good job of establishing the universe and Skinner Sweet. We're still learning about Pearl.
I love how he made the American Vampire have different strengths and weaknesses though I don't think I understood the no moon bit. They just get weak and hungry yet can't feed?

PSPGroove - Made by Krosk
Special thanks to mathieulh for psgroove
And the PSJailbreak team for discovering the exploit
Loading pspgroove... failed with 0x80020001
Anybody know what that error means?
TyRaNiD says this might not be possible on the PSP because you can't change the USB device address.
Something else I noticed is that the implication in process_standard_request is that the SET ADDRESS request is handled by hardware, psgroove seems to be using that as part of the hub emulation (I assume handling setting per port so it actually receives requests from the host). Not sure if that is a deal breaker or not
I didn't understand the most part of it, but I see no word of it beeing impossible, correct me if I'm wrong.
after loading the eboot my computer found it as a generic hub
running 5.00 m33-4 with the eboot stored in the GAME5XX Folder
I don't want to spoil the fun but AFAIK the PSP port is based on hnave's Open Edition USB driver (it was made for 1.5 kernels that's why current PoC/WiP requires it). Recently both hnaves and TyRaNiD shared some thoughts regarding PSP port and Open Edition USB driver's limitations in its thread. Do not want to underestimate authors of current PoC/WiP but unless they address these limitations PSP port is not so easy to be done...

Chris Adams releases 2008 soccer schedule
Lady Saints to host defending national champions at
DAHLONEGA, GA – North Georgia College
& State University head coach Chris Adams released the 2008
schedule for the Lady Saints soccer program this morning which will
feature back-to-back home matches against the defending NCAA DII
National Champions in the University of Tampa and Columbus State
University who are the defending Peach Belt Conference regular
season and tournament champions.
With possibly the toughest schedule in the history of the North Georgia soccer program, the Lady Saints will be taking on ranked teams in and out of conference play.
Some of the best teams in the country will make their way to the North Georgia Soccer Complex this fall as three teams from last season's NCAA Tournament final 16 will make an appearance in the span of seven days.
The University of Tampa Spartans, the defending National Champions, will come to town on Sunday, September 14, followed by Columbus State University Wednesday, September 21, and finally the University of Montevallo will come calling Sunday, September 21, to finish off one of the most competitive stretches in Lady Saints' soccer history.
North Georgia will also face the likes of Barry University and Armstrong Atlantic State University on the road in 2008, while PBC rivals Clayton State University and USC Aiken will travel to Dahlonega for a pair of late-season league match ups.
The Lady Saints will kick off the 2008 season at home with an exhibition game against Division I Georgia Southern University on Sunday, August 17, at 2 p.m.

Dayum!! That is a great story, though. Good job.
I have been remodeling an apartment for what seemed to be forever and asked many questions on many forums when I needed help. Now that I have some time, I have been going back to the helpful ones and posting the final result and saying thanks.
I would like to thank those who were helpful with my plumbing question in the end, it was priceless.
I do have before and after pics of this extensive renovation along with a story of what needed to be done. I should warn you, this place was utterly destroyed when I started, so some of the pics are of some really trashed areas of the home. This might also be a lesson for landlords:
Anyway, here is the link to the entire story:
Thanks again!
Dayum!! That is a great story, though. Good job.
My mom's rental property is how I became a handyman and eventually this led into me becoming a plumber.... as amazing as it seems this is very typical of low rent housing. I have actually seen worse!
After VERY MAJOR rennovations I improved mom's situation by doing a couple of things... RAISED THE RENT! People who pay more tend to take better care of things! AND... I tried to get ALL section 8 tennants...that meant that the government paid and we didn't have to chase down tennants for the rent! ALSO, even though the tennants were not very good at all I was able to get so much more rent that it covered the cost of the major clean up that followed. We were getting 150% by renting to these "welfare recipients" and it was guaranteed government money. Nevertheless... if they could find a way to skin you for money they would. A few stories I could tell about that whole experience!
Thanks, I hope I never have to clean something like that again in my lifetime, but the remodeling itself was a lot of fun.Originally Posted by Pewterpower
I need to go take 4 showers now after seeing the before shot of the bathroom Looks like you did a great job.
Funny, I felt the same way after I took the old shower out.Originally Posted by wes-in-nc

I will lift up the cup of salvations and call upon the
name of HASHEM. (Tehillim 116:13)
I will lift up the cup of salvations and call upon the
name of HASHEM. (Tehillim 116:13)
This structure of the Seder is highlighted by the
arrangement of the four cups of wine, which according to the Halachah
must be drunk at specific points of the evening. Two cups clearly underline the past redemption and the future deliverance, as they are drunk after the narration of the Exodus, and the last part of Hallel, the praise in
anticipation of the future redemption (Avudraham).
The other two cups are not unique to Pesach - the cup of
Kiddush and that of Birchas Hamazon which concludes the meal,
have their counterparts throughout the year. Nevertheless, it is only on Pesach night that everyone at the table must drink a cup after
Kiddush, and, again, only on Pesach is the cup after Birchas
Hamazon a fixed requirement. Our Sages ordained a specific rule that we
must drink four cups on Seder night, as testimony of our deliverance and newly bestowed freedom: I will lift the cup of
salvations (Tehillim 116:13). They based the requirement of
four cups on the passage in the Torah describing the four stages by which the Jews were delivered from bondage: Therefore say to the
Children of Israel: 'I am Hashem, and I will take you out from beneath
the burdens of Egypt, and I will save you from their servitude, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and great judgments; and I will take you for Me for a people and I will be God for you ...' (Shemos 6:6-7). Each of these expressions describes yet another joyful stage on the road to the full redemption, worthy of being celebrated with a cup of wine: wine gladdens the heart of man (Tehillim 104:15).
In another illustration of the parallel between past and future, we also find four expressions of deliverance in connection with the Messianic redemption: And I will take them out from the nations, and I will
gather them from the countries, and I will bring them to their land, and I will tend them on the mountains of Yisrael ... (Ezekiel 34:13).
Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch points out that the four
expressions of deliverance found in Shemos correspond to the deliverance
from the three stages of Egyptian bondage, announced to Abraham at the
Covenant Between the Portions (exile, slavery, and affliction), and to the
final attainment of freedom as God's people. But the passage in Shemos
contains yet a fifth expression of deliverance, And I will
bring you to the land ... We do not drink a fifth cup to correspond
to this expression; but in its honor we place a filled cup called the Cup of Elijah on the Seder table. The Rabbis disagree whether I will
bring you should be considered a fifth expression of deliverance,
requiring that a fifth cup be drunk at the Seder. The question remaining
undecided, we put aside a cup until Elijah, who will come preparatory to the coming of Mashiach, answers all such halachic questions (Vilna
Gaon). We are meant to understand thereby that the fifth cup belongs to the
realm of the future coming of Mashiach and the ultimate redemption, when
we shall finally be brought to our land never to depart: the fifth cup points ahead to the final fulfillment of the promise of Pesach.
We have outlined here, in brief - and in the Commentary we will
trace in detail - the Seder night pattern that makes us relive
Yetzias Mitzrayim and prepare for the redemption to come. But is it
realistic to aspire to such spiritual height? Is it not very possible that we may go through the motions of the ritual without being caught up in its spirit? This is indeed a real danger whenever a person. is called upon to rise above his petty daily concerns. The Torah has an antidote for it:
preparation - not merely a matter of getting ready in a practical sense,
but of thoughtful inner concentration on the goals lying ahead.

Read our full match report on the first game of the knock out phase here.
South Korea will be disappointed with the manner of their exit, they managed to equalise, but in truth they never really threatened Uruguay.
For Uruguay, once again their strikers have seen them through. Luis Suarez's oportunistic opener and stunning winner were enough today.
FULL TIME Uruguay are into the Quarter-Finals!
South Korea have rarely threatened, they're going to deservedly lose this one.
Can South Korea have one final push and force extra time?
ESPN Stats & Info: If they hold onto their lead, Uruguay will advance to the quarter-finals for the first time since 1970.
A golden opportunity for Lee Dong-Gook! He is in behind Uruguay, and with all the time in the world he snatches at his shot, which squirms under Muslera and is cleared. What a waste.
Ki Sung-Yong off for Yeom Ki-Hun
Luis Suarez off for Álvaro Fernández
Cho Yong-Hyung is booked for a cynical foul.
ESPN Stats & Info: Uruguay have never been in a World Cup shootout. South Korea have won their only World Cup shootout to date.
GOAL Luis Suarez with a beautiful goal! The corner works its way to Suarez on the far post. He drops his shoulder and curls in a fantastic effort from the edge of the box. What a goal!
The ball is cleared by South Korea, only for another corner though.
Corner to Uruguay, can the re-take the lead?
Lee Young-Pyo with some fancy footwork, he only succeeds in confusing himself and the ball goes out for a goal kick.
Lee Chung-Yong celebrates after scoring South Korea's equaliser
Uruguay have come back into this game since South Korea scored. Can Lodeiro provide the spark that wins the game for Uruguay?
Alvaro Pereira off for Nicolas Lodeiro
The corner is cleared, but as it's lifted back in Suarez is all alone, however he can only guide his header wide.
Luis Suarez springs the offside trap and is away, from near the byline he fires it towards goal, Jung Sung-Ryong tips it over for a corner.
A tale of two goalkeeping errors so far. Jung Sung-Ryong will have been relieved to see his opposite number make a costly error.
Do either of these teams have the courage to go for a winner? South Korea have been buoyed by their equaliser.
What a chance for Lee Chung-Yong! Excellent play from Park Ji-Sung, darting through the defence before playing an perfectly weighted ball to Lee, he's through on goal and fires straight at Muslera. What a waste.
ESPN Stats & Info: Had Uruguay held on for another 25 minutes, they would have joined Brazil (1986) and Italy (1990) as the only teams since 1986 to advance to the quarter-finals without conceding a goal.
Cha Du-Ri is the second player to be booked.
GOAL Lee Chung-Yong levels for South Korea! A free kick is hoofed into the box, Muslera is caught in no-mans land and as the ball is headed across goal Lee Chung-Yong nods home!
Uruguay are protecting their lead, and look like they will right until the final whistle. What have South Korea got left?
It's like pinball for a moment in the Uruguay penalty area. Eventually Lugano punts clear.
The game has gone very flat. At the moment South Korea don't look like scoring.
Lee Dong-Gook on for Kim Jae-Sung
Park Ji-Sung gets a decent header on goal from Cha Du-Ri's cross. Muslera makes a good-looking save for the cameras.
South Korea continue to play the ball long into the box. They need to play it into Park Chu-Young's feet, he looks dangerous in possession.
More solid defending from Uruguay. Park Ji-Sung tries to get through on goal, he cuts it across to Park Chu-Young, who's effort is blocked by Pereira.
Uruguay head clear the latest corner and South Korea start again.
The ball is over hit, Muslera scrambles backwards and tips the ball wide for a corner.
A set piece for South Korea. A chance for a good delivery...
A glorious chance for Park Chu-Young! A long ball into the box is only partially cleard by Lugano. The ball falls for the South Korea number 10 on the half volley, but he lashes over with the goal at his mercy.
The corner is easily headed clear.
A positive run forward from Lee Young-Pyo, his burst down the left and low cross almost arrives with Park Chu-Young, it's cleared for a corner.
Sloppy play from South Korea. A lose pass lands at the feet of Luis Suarez, with Cavani and Forlan in support, he goes for goal but his effort is a poor one.
South Korea need to show more invention to start troubling this very solid Uruguay defence.
South Korea trying and get forward down the left, again it's comfortably dealt with by Uruguay.
KICK OFF Uruguay start the second half.
Mauricio Victorino is on for Diego Godin
ESPN Stats & Info: The goal was Uruguay's first ever in the round of 16 at the World Cup after failing to score in 1990 against Italy and 1986 against Argentina. It was also was Uruguay's first goal in any knockout round game since losing in the 1970 semi-finals to Brazil (3-1).
South Korea went behind against Italy in the last 16 at the 2002 tournament. They went on to win that game with a golden goal. The man who scored that goal? Ahn Jung-Hwan. He is on the bench this afternoon, could he roll back the years and save his country again?
How costly will Jung Sung-Ryong's error be? His mistake is the difference between the two teams at the moment.
HALF TIME Luis Suarez's goal is 45 minutes from taking Uruguay into the Quarter-Finals.
Free kick in a promising position for Park Chu-Young. Disappointing as it hits the wall, the ball falls to Cha Du-Ri, who fires off another speculative effort, which once again flies over.
Maxi Pereira, with excellent technique, evades the defender a fires a wicked shot towards goal. It seemed to strike and arm but nothing given.
Fucile is looking good at left-back for Uruguay, blocking a cross from Cha Du-Ri.
Cha Du-Ri with an adventurous attempt from 30 yards. Bringing the ball forward, the right-back thinks, why not? His shot is dipping, not enough though and it goes for a goal kick.
Free kick, Alvaro Pereira fouls Kim Jae-Sung.
ESPN Stats & Info: South Korea have never beaten a South American opponent at the World Cup finals. They have lost three and drawn one of these four encounters, netting just two goals.
Kim Jung-Woo is booked for a high challenge.
Park Chu-Young outmuscles Godin, he whips a low cross into the box that evades everyone and is gathered by Muslera.
South Korea are seeing plenty of the ball at the moment, with Uruguay content to wait for their opportunity to counter attack. Cha Du-Ri gets in behind Fucile, but the through ball is over hit.
Lee Chung-Yong has come over to the South Korea left now after getting nothing out of Fucile. Will he have more luck against Maximiliano Pereira?
South Korea seem to have come to life in the last few minutes. This is more like the high energy football we are used to seeing from them.
Park Chu-Young with another fantastic long-range effort. He cuts inside from the right, lets fly and his shot is only narrowly wide.
Park Ji-Sung makes a lung-busting run down the left after poor play from Alvaro Pereira. His low cross into the box is behind his team-mates and cleared from danger.
South Korea are looking to use Lee Chung-Yong down the right as often as possible. Fucile has got the better of him so far though.
Luis Suarez fires home the opening goal
Suarez is racing clear after Forlan catches Lee Jung-Soo in possession. Luckily for South Korea the flag is raised for offside.
Uruguay are looking settled at the moment. They're having an impressive tournament so far.
Fantastic one-two between Forlan and Suarez. Forlan tries to break, but he doesn't have the pace. In the end, Maxi Pereira's shot is saved by Jung Sung-Ryong.
Lovely footwork from Park Chu-Young on the edge of the box. He is tackled before he can fire off a shot and Uruguay break...
The game has settled down after a frantic opening. Suarez's goal seems to have taken the sting out of South Korea.
Forlan is once again playing in a withdrawn role for Uruguay. He's dictating this game, and almost all of Uruguay's attacks go through him.
Uruguay have looked comfortable since taking the lead. Apart from Park Chu-Young's attempt, South Korea haven't threatened.
Luis Suarez celebrates after giving Uruguay the lead
The ball in is a decent one, but it's headed clear and results in a Uruguay throw.
First free kick for Uruguay, Fucile blocked off by Kim Jae-Sung. Forlan has placed the ball...
ESPN Stats & Info: Suarez has now scored 54 goals in 61 appearances for club and country this season.
ESPN Stats & Info: South Korea last won at the World Cup when allowing the first goal not too long ago, against Togo in the 2006 group stage and, before that, in 2002 against Italy in the second round.
Arevalo Rios with a speculative half volley from the edge of the box, he can't keep it down and it's a goal kick to South Korea.
Muslera connects with a good punch and the danger passes.
Corner to South Korea, a chance for an equaliser...
The game has started at quite a pace! Can South Korea hit back quickly?
GOAL Luis Suarez scores! Forlan pulls wide on the right hand side, somehow his cross makes it all the way across goal to Suarez who taps in! Poor goalkeeping from Jung Sung-Ryong.
ESPN Stats & Info: More than 50% of South Korea's World Cup goals have come after set-pieces.
Forlan hits a volley from the edge of the box after more chaotic defending from South Korea. His shot rolling into the arms of Jung Sung-Ryong.
Park Chu-Young hits the post! An excellent free kick strikes the upright! So close for South Korea.
An early free for South Korea, Pereira bringing down Park Ji-Sung.
A lot of empty seats at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. Very disappointing.
Panic in the South Korea defence from the start! Luis Suarez flicks on a header that almost reaches Forlan. Park Ji-Sung then bursts up field but fails to play in Park Chu-Young. A lively opening!
KICK OFF South Korea start the knockout stage!
The teams are out in Port Elizabeth, it's nearly time to get the second round started.
These two teams are respresenting two continents that will be very happy with how the World Cup is going so far. Every South American team has progressed from the group stage, while this is the first World Cup outside of Asia where two of its countries have made it to the last 16.
ESPN Stats & Info: South Korea and Japan are the first Asian teams to reach the knockout stage of the World Cup twice.
With the winners of this tie facing USA or Ghana, their is a real chance for Uruguay or South Korea to make the Semi-Finals. Who will advance in this one?
ESPN Stats & Info: Uruguay are unbeaten against South Korea, winning four and drawing one of their five meetings, including a World Cup group stage victory in 1990 (1-0).
South Korea will be relying on the energetic trio of Park Ji-Sung, Lee Chung-Yong and Park Chu-Young to spearhead their attack. Fans of the Premier League will be familiar with the talents of Park Ji-Sung and Lee Chung-Yong, and Monaco's Park Chu-Young has looked dangerous at times in this tournament.
Once again Oscar Tabarez will be looking to the prolific pair of Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan to give his team a cutting edge. After a slow start against France, the two strikers have hit form and are looking dangerous.
Uruguay make one change to the team that beat Mexico, bringing Diego Godin back into their defence. For South Korea, Kim Jae-Sung replaces Yeom Ki-Hun.
As quickly as the group stage was over, the second round begins. Looking at the way the draw is set, Uruguay and South Korea will both be looking towards the Semi-Finals.
Join us at 14.00 GMT to see which of the two sides will be the first to claim a place in the last eight of the World Cup.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Steve Mistler email@example.com
Staff Writer
In the weeks before Tuesday's election, Gov. Paul LePage's public appearances were limited to food drives and ribbon cuttings. The governor was not summoned to the campaign trail to defend his policy agenda or the Republican legislators who helped enact it.
Gov. Paul LePage
Staff File Photo
LePage's volcanic broadsides against Democrats have been confined to scripted YouTube videos, a rhetoric delivery system ill-suited to a governor accustomed to letting it fly.
He has appeared, at times, like a man without a country.
LePage is now a man without a Legislature. Democrats on Tuesday swept away the current Republican majority in a decisive victory that was dangerously close to giving Democrats the numbers to override even the threat of a veto.
On Wednesday night, Democrats unofficially held a 21-13-1 majority in the state Senate, with potential recounts in two races, and an 87-60-4 majority in the House (potential recounts in six races).
The Democratic majority is also likely to remove and replace the state's constitutional officers. Three of them -- Treasurer Bruce Poliquin, Secretary of State Charlie Summers and Attorney General William Schneider -- have been some of LePage's closest allies, despite serving in a different branch of government.
LePage's aversion to state borrowing will not be reinforced by Poliquin's frequent proselytizing. A Democratic attorney general will not be so willing to enable the governor's battle with the federal government over still unauthorized cuts to the state's Medicaid program.
Additionally, any hyper-partisan policies LePage had hoped to advance are effectively dead. His vision of enacting a divisive right-to-work law to subvert organized labor will go nowhere. Also in trouble are LePage's plans for additional cuts to publicly funded health care for low-income Mainers. There may be hope for his energy policy, but not at the expense of the state's wind industry lobby, which LePage has repeatedly blasted as a special interest group bankrolled by taxpayers.
In short, the governor will achieve very little without the help of a new Democratic majority.
Can the two sides work together?
LePage did not make himself available for interviews on Wednesday. He instead released a short statement congratulating all the "candidates who won."
"Now that the campaign is over, it is time to get to work for all Maine people," the statement read. "Here in Maine, we must come together to find solutions to our fiscal challenges that will lead to the recovery of our economy and improve prosperity for hardworking families and businesses. I stand ready to work with those who will put Mainers first and won't allow the political rhetoric to continue."
The governor's spokeswoman, Adrienne Bennett, later added that the governor is ready and willing to work with Democrats. Bennett argued that LePage has done so before, when he was mayor of Waterville and worked with a largely Democratic city council.
The Waterville City Council, of course, differs from the Legislature, home to 186 lawmakers with varying degrees of political ambition. The governor is also slated to seek a second term.
It's unclear whether his re-election chances are better if he forges consensus with Democrats or uses legislative gridlock and policy difference as a foil.
Publicly, Democrats are withholding prognostications.
"I've given up making predictions when it comes to Gov. LePage," said Rep. Emily Cain, D-Orono, the current House minority leader. "What I will say is that while there have been some divisive issues, Democrats and the governor have found areas where we can come together, whether it's regulatory reform or domestic violence issues."
She added, "During the past two years in the minority we showed that we're not afraid to disagree with him and we're not afraid to agree with him. Ultimately, we hope he realizes that finding common ground with Democrats will be key to solving problems."
Others aren't so sure consensus building is in LePage's DNA. After all, some argue, LePage's successful run for governor was laden with verbal salvos against what he later called "the loyal opposition." He once called Sen. Justin Alfond, D-Portland, a "little spoiled brat." Alfond is a rumored candidate to become the Senate president for the 126th Legislature.
Michael Cuzzi, a former Democratic campaign strategist who manages the Portland branch of VOX Global, a Washington, D.C.-based consulting firm, believes it's unlikely that LePage will be able to shelve his "street fighter" approach to governing.
The governor has been just as combative with Republicans who questioned or balked at his policy initiatives. He blasted Republicans for not moving quickly enough to pass his budget. Last year, he vowed to campaign -- code word for "primary" -- against opponents who did not have the "political courage" to pass his controversial Medicaid and energy policy reforms.
Ultimately, LePage didn't have to campaign against Republican lawmakers.
