Easter devotions are here! Sign up for our Lent and Easter email devotions.
praise, the name given to the group of Psalms 113-118, which are preeminently psalms of praise. It is called "The Egyptian Hallel," because it was chanted in the temple whilst the Passover lambs were being slain. It was chanted also on other festival occasions, as at Pentecost, the feast of Tabernacles, and the feast of Dedication. The Levites, standing before the altar, chanted it verse by verse, the people responding by repeating the verses or by intoned hallelujahs. It was also chanted in private families at the feast of Passover. This was probably the hymn which our Saviour and his disciples sung at the conclusion of the Passover supper kept by them in the upper room at Jerusalem (Matt. 26:30; Mark 14:26).
There is also another group called "The Great Hallel," comprehending Psalms 118-136, which was recited on the first evening at the Passover supper and on occasions of great joy.

One in four of those questioned by the financial services firm Engage Mutual said they were cutting back on trips to the dentist and new spectacles.
In addition, about one in seven said they can no longer afford daily vitamins or prescription charges for medicine.
It comes as new figures show the rate of inflation rose to 4.7 per cent last month.
Significant rises in gas and electricity bills drove the Consumer Prices Index up 0.3 per cent from July, according to the Office for National Statistics.
Karl Elliott, a spokesman for Engage Mutual said: "With the cost of living on the rise, our research shows a shocking number of people struggling to pay for some quite basic family health care necessities."
Its survey of 1,947 British adults found that families with children under 16 had been worst hit by rising living costs, with 70 per cent saying they were being forced to cut back on health care spending.
More than six in 10 pensioners also said they no longer had enough money to cover their health costs.

Point and shoot safely: WARNING: Due to high shooting velocity of this airgun, take particular care and caution in choosing a safe target. Only choose targets with a safe backstop. Do not choose targets that will cause ricochets. Never shoot at water. WARNING: Make sure that the air rifle always points in a safe direction. Never point at people or animals. Always handle the air rifle as if it was loaded and ready to fire. - You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes. - Always aim your air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION before shooting. - Check behind and beyond your target to be certain you have a safe backstop and that no person or property could be endangered. - Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet may bounce off or ricochet and hit someone. - Always choose your target carefully. Your backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use. Replace your backstop if the surface is worn or damaged, or if a ricochet occurs. - Your air rifle is designed for target shooting. Always remember to place your target carefully. THINK about what you will hit if you miss the target. Illustration 6.a 2. Illustration 7.a 1. 7. Adjusting the trigger travel Activate the safety. Unload the air rifle as described in point 5.2. Adjust your customized trigger travel by using a screwdriver to give a slight turn to the screw on the trigger (illustration 7.a). 8. Jams WARNING: A jam is a dangerous situation. WARNING: If the air rifle fails to shoot, never assume that there is no ammunition left in the gun. CAUTION: Shooting with an air rifle with insufficient CO2 pressure can cause a pellet to get stuck in the barrel. If this happens: - Insert a new 88 g CO2 cartridge, remove the magazine, close the bolt lever and shoot the gun at a safe target without the rotary magazine. - The blocked pellet will be released and fired. - If this fails to resolve the problem, remove the magazine and carefully push out the blocked pellet with a cleaning brush. NOTE: If you are not able to unjam your air rifle by following this procedure take no further action. Umarex USA or an authorized service station will unjam your air rifle. WARNING: When removing any pellet from the barrel with a cleaning brush, place the rifle horizontally. Do not hold the air rifle in a vertical position, as the pellet could fall into the mechanism and cause damage. Illustration 8.a 9. Special features of CO2 CO2 air rifle performance might be affected by certain conditions. This includes storage at extremely high or low tempe- ratures than normal outdoors (from 59°F / 15°C to 69.8°F / 21°C). High temperatures can increase pressure in the 88 g CO2 cartridge and also within the gun, to higher than standard operating pressure. This excessive pressure might prevent firing and cause permanent damage to the air rifle. Maximum temperature of storage or operation should never exceed 122°F (50°C). WARNING: Shooting with low CO2 pressure can cause a pellet to get jammed in the barrel. Bear in mind the indications for jams. Do not try not to shoot the air rifle with an 88 g CO2 cartridge that has already lost a considerable amount of its pressure. Here are some indicators of insufficient 88 g CO2 cartridge pressure: A) The sound of the shot is not as loud as when the cartridge is full. B) The ammunition hits the target, but in a lower position than it would with a full 88 g CO2 cartridge. Consequently, the shooting speed has dropped. C) No pellet leaves the barrel. 10. Adjusting the sight The rifle is adjusted by the factory to shoot from a distance of 10 m. Adjusting the sight Illustration 10.a To adjust the elevation of the sight, move the rear sight by slightly loosening the screw (illustration 10.b). With excessively high shots: Move the rear sight back. With excessively low shots: Move the rear sight forward. too high too low right Once the sight adjustment is complete, tighten the screw. Illustration 10.b Illustration 10.c To adjust the windage of the sight, it is necessary to move the front sight. (Illustration 10.c): If your air rifle is shooting too far to the right: Move the front sight to the right. If your air rifle is shooting too far to the left: Move the front sight to the left. 11. Storage WARNING: Never leave the air rifle loaded. Always store the air rifle with the ammunition removed and the safety on. Carefully check that there is no ammunition in the barrel and remove the pellets from the rotary magazine. Before storing it, we recommend to also remove the 88 g CO2 cartridges. Keep the air rifle out of the reach of children and users not familiarized with its use. Store the air rifle separately from the pellets and the CO2 cartridges. 12. Care and Maintenance If you maintain and care for your air rifle properly, you will be able to enjoy it for many years. WARNING: Before you attempt to clean your air rifle, always make sure it is "On Safe" (see Step 2.1), the rotary magazine is removed and you have checked the barrel to make sure there are no pellets left in it. - Occasionally clean the exterior metal parts of the air rifle. Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with special oil for air rifles. Occasionally apply 2 or 3 drops of oil for air rifles in the feeder and also in the air rifle through the empty magazine (see illustration 12.a). Proceed in the Illustration 12.a same way with the valve seals. Never use cleaning pellets, as they can damage the air rifle. - Tampering with the air rifle or attempts to modify the air rifle in any way may make it unsafe to use and will void the warranty. - If you drop your air rifle, check to see that it works properly before you use it again. If your air rifle is damaged or does not perform properly, call Umarex USA Customer Service for assistance before using your air rifle again. n itio 13.

On the occasion of Children's Day, the Archaeological Survey of India along with the Aga Khan Trust for Culture released a children's guidebook to the world heritage site Humayun's Tomb here on Monday. The book is intended to encourage children to take interest in the city's heritage.
The book was prepared by the Trust and published by ASI and is part of the Humayun's Tomb – Nizamuddin Basti Urban Renewal Project, a not-for-profit public-private partnership initiative. Written in a story format along with illustrations, the book explains how the 450-year-old monument was built.
Authored by eminent historian Narayani Gupta and illustrated by Anitha Balachandran, it is the first site-specific guidebook in India.
"Humayun's Tomb is one of India's 26 World Heritage Sites and is visited by over 300,000 school children every year," said Union Culture Minister Kumari Selja releasing the book at Humayun's Tomb at a ceremony attended by 500 children from nearly 15 schools of the Capital.
The book includes interesting facts about the World Heritage Site.
Priced at an affordable Rs.50, the book will be available at the tomb and other ASI centres in Hindi and English. Over 30,000 copies have been published so far. Said ASI Director-General Dr. Gautam Sengupta: "This book is the first in a series planned as part of celebration of ASI's 150 years of existence. The next one will be about a heritage site near Chennai."

Spot market pays less for HMS and shredded grades in May, but prices poised to rise in June.
Ferrous scrap buyers were able to buy shredded and heavy melting steel (HMS) grades for several dollars per ton less in early May, but as the month ended the two-month pause in pricing seemed about to end. In the early May buying period, mill buyers were successful in obtaining shredded scrap for about $20 less per ton compared to April, according to the Raw Material Data Aggregation Service (RMDAS) of Management Science Associates (MSA), Pittsburgh. (Click here to view prices). While shredded scrap pricing lost $18 per ton in value in May and No. 1 HMS prices dropped $14, prompt grades held their value, dropping just $4 per ton on average nationally. By mid-May, recyclers were reporting two factors likely to cause prices to revive again as mills made their June purchases: flooding hampering barge traffic on the inland waterway system and renewed interest from exporters when prices dipped in April and May. Delegates attending the Ferrous Division Meeting at the 2011 Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) World Recycling Congress, held May 23-25 in Singapore, heard mostly positive things about the health of the steel and ferrous scrap industries. Among those offering reports at the late May event was Blake Kelley of Sims Group Global Trade Corp., New York, who noted that scrap prices in North America declined in early May but were rebounding as the month ended. "There are significant transportation problems both on the inland river system due to severe flooding and high water conditions, while the railroad system is struggling to perform as a result of a fully utilized railcar fleet," Kelley remarked regarding supply constraints. "Difficulty with both transportation modes is frustrating dealer efforts to complete [delivery] commitments." On the demand side, Kelley noted that mills in the United States are running at about 73 percent capacity, with flat-rolled steel in greater demand than long products. While some imported steel is arriving into the United States, the weak U.S. dollar may also be helping exporters. "Service center inventories in April were 2.4 months sales, which is considered a reasonable and healthy level [and] United States steel exports in March were up 19 percent to 1 million metric tons," Kelley remarked. Scrap export flows also are healthy, Kelley added. "China and Korea have been aggressively buying and consuming raw materials," he told delegates. "China reportedly purchased many bulk cargoes with shredded pricing around $480 CIF; South Korea has also purchased many cargoes with heavy melting steel (HMS) prices flat in the mid-$470s CIF." Kelley noted that the world's steelmakers are on pace to produce 1.54 billion metric tons of steel in 2011, a figure that about 111 million metric tons higher than the 2010 output. "An increase of this magnitude in steel production, and its corresponding increase in raw materials consumption, has made for an interesting beginning to the year," said Kelley, adding that the world's steelmakers at this pace will consume some 48 million metric tons of additional scrap compared to 2010. "Seemingly, there is enough supply to cover that amount of demand." Reporting from the European perspective, Thomas Bird of Van Dalen U.K. Ltd, Stratford-Upon-Avon, England, remarked that a "view of a weaker market in May did not materialize." He added, "May saw healthy demand across the European Union, with [inventories] at mills running at relatively low levels. The market has taken a little bit of a breather in the last few days, but I do not believe this is anything but just that. Finished product demand remains healthy and we are expecting demand for scrap to remain strong for the immediate future." The Raw Material Data Aggregation Service (RMDAS) Ferrous Scrap Price Index is based on data gathered from a statistically significant compilation of verified ferrous scrap purchase transactions. RMDAS is a service of Management Science Associates Inc. (MSA), Pittsburgh. Those seeking more information about RMDAS can contact MSA's Jeralyn Brown at 724-265-6574 or via e-mail at email@example.com.

Most Bodacious Basement (2010)
Cavern Club Theatre
Opened in the summer of 1994 by Mr. Dan and Paul V (of the legendary Dragstrip 66), Cavern Club Theatre was initially created as a home for the live drag soap-opera-sitcom The Plush Life (which ran from 1994 to 2002). Dan took the reins booking the theater soon after, and today Cavern, located below Casita del Campo restaurant in Silver Lake, remains a mainstay of alternative, queer and drag guerilla theater. Its tiny, but thats part of its charm. Big, bodacious and usually cross-dressed personalities take over the basement space weekly, and the intimate setup allows shows like Jackie Beats annual holiday spectacles, Jer Jer Bones Telekinesis cabarets, and Chicos Angels sassy episodic adventures to shine in all their garish, glam-gurl glory. Make a night of it with pre- or post-show dinner and drinks (as spicy and salty as the performers) at the Casita, and youve got a hot tamale two-fer indeed. 1920 Hyperion Ave., Silver Lake.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Junior Marianne Jodoin extended her singles record as a Blue Devil to a perfect 10-0 to lead Duke women's tennis team past No. 18 Notre Dame, 5-2, Sunday at the Eck Tennis Center in South Bend, Ind. The Blue Devils won their ninth doubles point of the season after the 27th-ranked duo of Ester Goldfeld and Hanna Mar sealed their match, 8-5, to extend Duke's record to 9-2 on the season, including a 5-2 tally against teams ranked in the top-25 of the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings.
The doubles point has been crucial for Duke this season, as the Blue Devils have tallied an undefeated record in matches in which they earn the point. In the third position, the duo of Jodoin and Monica Turewicz quickly dispatched of Quinn Gleason and Katherine White, 8-4, while senior Mary Clayton and sophomore Annie Mulholland had trouble with No. 38 Julie Sabacinski and Britney Sanders on court two, dropping the match, 8-5, to send all attention to court one, where Goldfeld and Mar traded games early with Notre Dame's Jennifer Kellner and Chrissie McGaffigan to give Duke a 6-5 lead. After breaking serve, the Blue Devils were able to take a 7-5 edge, and held serve to clinch the match and the doubles point for Duke.
In singles play, 13th-ranked Mar broke serve late in the first set to lead her to a 6-4 win over Kellner on court two, and carried that momentum to sweep the second set, 6-0, to give Duke a 2-0 edge in the match.
On court one, No. 38 Goldfeld dropped the first set, 6-4, to 42nd-ranked Sanders but responded to win the second set, 6-3, to push the match into a third and decisive set for her second consecutive match. On Friday against No. 13 Michigan, Goldfeld fell behind early in the third set and despite a great comeback, could not overcome 33rd-ranked Ronit Yurovsky, sealing the match for the Wolverines. Against Notre Dame Sunday, Goldfeld learned from her mistake as she overwhelmed Sanders in the third set, 6-0 to give Duke a 3-0 lead.
Jodoin, a native of Varennes, Quebec, claimed her 10th singles win of the dual season after dispatching of Katherine White, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2. Jodoin has yet to lose a singles match in her Blue Devil dual match career, after transferring from Fresno State when she garnered Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Player of the Year twice, as well as WAC Freshman of the Year honors.
Clayton, ranked No. 62 in the latest ITA poll, responded to her loss in doubles by claiming the first set 6-0 over Gleason on court three but was unable to maintain her momentum, eventually falling, 6-0, 6-7, 6-7. In the fifth position, Mulholland fell behind 2-1 early in the opening set against Molly O'Koniewski, but reeled off four consecutive games to take a 5-2 lead. Mulholland closed out the first set, 6-3, before
dropping the second set, 7-6. In a third-set tiebreaker, Mulholland topped O'Koniewski, 10-3 to seal the match.
In the fourth position, Turewicz took the first and second set to a tiebreaker against McGaffigan, dropping the first set, 7-6, before winning the second, 7-6, to extend the match to a third set tiebreaker, where Turewicz retired due to injury.
Duke will next take to the courts as it travels to Las Vegas, Nev., to face Indiana, Friday, March. 15 at 11 a.m.

Teen Horoscopes
Posted in ASTROLOGY FACTS on June 04, 2009
A teenage horoscope is unique because it uses the planets to give insight into a specific age group, dealing only with what is most important to these particular individuals.
Believe it or not, the concept of a teenager is a very modern one. Up until the later part of the 20th Century, boys and girls went right from childhood into adulthood with a puberty ritual and no middle ground. The teenager concept was invented to give the children of so-called 'more advanced' societies a grace period to develop between child- and adulthood instead of a one-day transformation with a ritual.
The "teenage years," quickly became a time for soul searching, exploring, and finding one's self independent of the family structure. In general, teenagers have become independent beyond the childhood need for constant parental supervision, but they still do not possess the full skill- and mindsets needed to function effectively in an adult society. Because they are caught in between, teenagers are generally more self-conscious than any other age group.
Insight into where a teenager fits into social groups and the approval of peers are other important aspects of a Teen Horoscope. But probably the number-one issue explored in a teen horoscope is love and sex, since the teenage years involve sexual exploration and maturing.
Teen horoscopes give insight into these very specific issues, since the areas detailed are of the most concern to this age group. In general, becoming aware of one's self is the primary function of the teenage years and teen horoscopes are a fun and effective way to gain this insight.

Chesapeake Energy Corporation Announces Results Of Board Of Directors Reviews
As previously announced, Mr. McClendon has agreed with the Board that he will retire from the company on April 1, 2013, and will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer until the earlier of his successor being appointed and April 1, 2013. The Board and Mr. McClendon's decision to commence a search for a new leader was not related to the Board's review of his financing arrangements and other matters.
Chesapeake also announced today that its Board of Directors has concluded that the company did not violate antitrust laws in connection with the acquisition of Michigan oil and gas rights in 2010. The company previously reported that in June 2012 it had received a subpoena duces tecum from the Antitrust Division, Midwest Field Office, of the United States Department of Justice, and demands for documents and information from state governmental agencies, investigating possible antitrust violations arising from 2010 leasing activities in Michigan. The company has been responding to these requests. The Board commenced its own investigation of these allegations in June 2012. The Board based the conclusion it announced today on a thorough review conducted independently by outside counsel, and on Chesapeake's cooperation with the Department of Justice.
Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK) is the second-largest producer of natural gas, a Top 15 producer of oil and natural gas liquids and the most active driller of new wells in the U.S. Headquartered in Oklahoma City, the company's operations are focused on discovering and developing unconventional natural gas and oil fields onshore in the U.S. Chesapeake owns leading positions in the Eagle Ford, Utica, Granite Wash, Cleveland, Tonkawa, Mississippi Lime and Niobrara unconventional liquids plays and in the Marcellus, Haynesville/Bossier and Barnett unconventional natural gas shale plays. The company also owns substantial marketing and oilfield services businesses through its subsidiaries Chesapeake Energy Marketing, Inc. and Chesapeake Oilfield Operating, L.L.C.

dc.description.abstract | Understanding participation behavior in online communities has become increasingly of interest to IS scholars. A central puzzle related to the existence and development of virtual communities is why community members are willing to share their valuable knowledge with other members for free. In other words, what are the factors influencing members' decisions to participate in discussions? This dissertation theoretically articulates how habit will affect individuals' participation behavior in online communities. In addition, it proposes that a threshold of behavioral repetitions is required for individuals to develop a participation habit. A methodology of estimating the threshold is also developed. The proposed habit hypothesis is tested empirically using panel data reflecting 130,882 postings by 22,457 members over a 6-month time period. The empirical context is a firm-hosted online community, Dell Community. It includes 115 discussion boards. The results show that a threshold does exist for the formation of a participation habit. Once the habit is formed, it has significantly positive impacts on community members' participation behavior. In larger and more active online communities, community members demonstrate a stronger habit effect. The effects of habit are also stronger among highly-ranked community members than among low-ranked community members. In addition, the results show that posting behavior in the more distant past has less impact on current posting decisions. This research extends the existing literature on online communities by considering the effects of a new factor, habit. It also deepens the current understanding of habit formation by articulating the role of a threshold on habit formation. |
