How to Pull It Off: Three Ways to Double Down
Double-breasted is the freshest look in suits right now because it feels so...put-together. But that doesn't mean you can't break it down. Suiting whiz Simon Spurr shows how to wear it anytime, anyplace
Buttoned Up
Don't want to look like a member of Parliament in your double-breasted suit? Two rules: First, tailor the jacket so it hugs you as tightly as Grandma did. Second, opt for a peak lapel with some width. "It emphasizes your chest," says Spurr, "and that gives you a little more power." To keep the proportions right, skip the skinny tie. "It gets lost in the jacket."
"The legs should finish on the heel, a half inch from the floor. That leaves a lot of break up front, so I angle my hems."
"A double-breasted jacket should be shorter than a single-breasted. You should be able to see your crotch."

What our customers say
"You are just so pleasant to deal with. Your people are so helpful and personable and it makes such a refreshing change from other insurers – that is why I have recommended the ETA to many of my friends."
Joan Silvester
"I was very impressed by the whole service. From the lady I spoke with on the phone to the people that you sent out to deal with my vehicle – both the man-in-a-van who couldn't fix it and the recovery truck driver. Everyone went the extra mile for me and were very friendly. It stopped a bad experience (the scary loss of power in my car, and being stuck on my own with two little ones) being a horrendous one. Thank you! I would totally recommend you to a friend."
Fleur Fielding
"I just wanted to say what a fantastic job you did when my partner broke down in Cornwall recently. Realising she was on her own, your staff went out of their way to make sure she received help quickly; the recovery vehicle turned up within 10 minutes and the mechanic managed to start the car within minutes. Your operator, Nicole, was particularly thoughtful and helpful as she rang back a second time to make sure my partner was safe and back on the road. My partner had had a particularly bad day at work and your concern for her safety and prompt response restored her faith in human nature!"
John Valters

Every breakdown customer receives free Auto Repair cover worth £65. This covers you up to £500 against the costs of repairs following a breakdown. No other breakdown cover provides this level of reassurance, which we believe should come as standard.

Putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle (misfuelling) is also covered as standard by our breakdown cover. Many other providers charge extra for this cover, or simply refuse to offer it.

Former Michigan Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land is running for the U.S. Senate as a Republican and shockingly, her Democratic opponent Rep. Gary Peters is accusing her of waging a war on women (Democrats are being really original with their attack strategy this year). Now, Land is taking on the issue directly with her first campaign ad openly mocking Peters for accusing her, a woman, of waging a war on women.
"I'm Terri Lynn Land and I approve this message because as a woman, I might know a little bit more about women than Gary Peters."
The ad is actually really good. Instead of being defensive about why she doesn't hate women, Land simply allows Peters' ridiculous accusations stand and fall all on their own, putting her immediately back on offense while quickly addressing the issue.
Recent polling shows Lynn slightly leading Peters and she's also been beating him in the fundraising department.

PHOTOS: Mickey Rooney Made His Last Public Appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Mickey Rooney, who died yesterday at age 93, made his acting debut when he was just 17 months old, during his parents' vaudeville routine, and his IMDB credits stretch into the future, with three projects listed as either "filming" or in "pre-production." But he made his last public appearance at Vanity Fair's Oscar Party last month, where he stationed himself by a banquette in the main room, watched the final minutes of the Academy Awards broadcast, and greeted a stream of well-wishers including Bruce Willis, Bruce Dern, Don Rickles, Martin Landau, and Harrison Ford.

NY cop credits Good Samaritans for saving his life
Officer John Lomonico responded to an alarm going off at a residence when the struggle with an armed suspect began
By PoliceOne Staff
UTICA, N.Y. — A Utica police officer is crediting two civilians for saving his life during a scuffle with a suspect.
The Utica Observer-Dispatch reports Officer John Lomonico responded to an alarm going off at a residence Thursday and witnessed a man's legs sticking out of the home's window.
The man – 43-year-old Ronald Flagg – was wielding a crow bar and fled as Officer Lomonico attempted to take him into custody.
Officer Lomonico tackled Flagg after a foot pursuit and began struggling with him on the ground.
Passerby Stanley Markis witnessed the battle and noticed Flagg was carrying a handgun, according to the report.
Markis stepped in – attempting to grab the gun which then fell on the ground. Markis was able to kick the weapon away from Flagg as he attempted to retrieve it.
Flagg then went for Officer Lomonico's weapon, when a second civilian, Jack Carter, jumped in to help subdue the suspect.
Officer Lomonico was treated for a knee injury in the incident and credits the pair of Good Samaritans for preventing a bad situation from becoming far worse.
Flagg was charged with felony possession of a weapon, two counts of felony attempted possession of a weapon, felony possession of stolen property, and misdemeanor resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration, according to the report.

Boutique "design" hotel, met heeeele kleine kamers. Naast het bed van 1.90m nog zo'n 20 cm om langs te lopen! Wel in een leuke buurt: Darlinghurst

Historical Traveler Reviews Kirketon Hotel Sydney - by 8Hotels
Big disappointment!
My partner and I were looking forward to staying at the Kirketon hotel, but it really was a bit of a disappointment.
The room we had was TINY - I suggest you request a larger room or pay extra (if available..sold out for us). The decor was simple (a mix of grey, white and red) but a little underdone. It seems their attempt at minimalist made the rooms quite soul-less. The lighting was poor.
Check in appears to be strictly 3pm....we arrived off a 20 hour flight and wanted a shower but had to wait until 2pm for a room to become available.
As another reviewer pointed out, the bathroom items are not re-stocked, so we had to request simple cleansing items. The showers are very dark as the light is at waist height, so prepare for that! There's also an odd habit of cleaning staff cleaning all rooms on the one floor at the same time...they leave the doors open, not sure why that is but it was a little strange. I felt that the hotel was understaffed too - check-in took a long time as the one person dealt with people one at a time.
The pluses? Each room has a cd player, a bar fridge and the bathrooms are tastefully done. We asked for Ice and, since the restaurant is closed on Sundays, the reception was happy to go down the street to get some for us - a nice touch. And LOCATION - this area of Sydney is hard to beat. You are close to great hip restaurants, cafes and bars. We even walked to the city with no problems.
Recommended for hip young straight, gay couples who will not be spending much time in these tiny, tiny rooms, but want a bit of style about their hotel. It's ok, but it's not great...appears to be an attempt at a cheaper 'W' style hotel but doesn't quite achieve its goal.
Great disappointment
Stayed there in mid March 2005, falling for the promise of affordable chic and glamour. The lobby may look good in some pictures, but this hotel has some serious flaws. For one, it has no elevator; I had to carry a couple of very heavy bags up two floors, with no help (their staff seems to consist of a single person manning the front desk and one cleaner). The room ("premium") was shabby, the cheap carpet stained, the mattress mushy, the wall-mounted TV like an old Motel 6, no alarm clock, no broaddband internet, and worst of all no natural light -- the small window faced a brick wall 4 feet away (most rooms are like that.) The bathroom was not cleaned during my stay, the toiletries not replenished. I stayed Sunday and Monday, when the restaurant and bar were not operating, so the lobby looked very sad and deserted. The only positive thing was the location, which is really quite convenient.
Loved everything
recently read the jan 05 conde nast traveller article listing the kirketon as one of the top 108 hotels of the world with oustanding design and ambience offering a fab position in darlo at great value.....
the kirketon exceeded my expectations....the staff which werent mentioned in the article were some of the best hotel staff i have ever come across ...all helped to make my stay wonderful.....
highly reccommend the kirketon especially at the new prices...
My favorite hotel of all time - reasonably priced yet glamorous
Since I stayed there in late 2002, Kirketon has undergone a change in management, but I still look back fondly at this hotel as the absolute coolest hotel of all time because:
-the staff look like models
-it has a great Sydney restaurant, Salt, downstairs
-fashionistas stay there, yet it was only US$100 a night
-fabulous surround sound system, and a full CD player in each room, with their own custom soundtrack to play (bring your own CDs - they'll sound great on their hidden behind the wall speakers)
-lovely high thread count sheets and wooly carpets and mohair throws
-AESOP botanicals bath products!!!!!
It's like Ian Schrager, but less vulgar, less hyped, more reasonably priced, and absolutely absolutely beautiful and just the right ethos for the young traveller.
Medusa, next door, its sister hotel, is even more lovely and pink. The staff are all young, hip, beautiful, and so friendly you feel bad that they work at all.
These small boutique hotels occupy that niche that is rarely filled: a cross between an Ian Schrager and a B&B.
Quite dissapointed
I was very dissapointed in the Kirketon. First of all I felt very uncomfortable in the room (I had a single room with a double bed) since there was no real chair to sit on, and the bed was not the best. The tv was so high that I had to lie on my back to watch it, or else I would hurt my neck.
Also, the blanket was aweful. Its some sort of synthetic think that didn't keep me very warm (and this was in April)
In terms of facilities, forget it, it has none. No room service, in fact, no restaurant of any kind, unless you count Salt which is attached, but not really a part of the hotel, so there is no breakfast.
The location is great if you want to be part of the very "in" crowd that frequent the cafes of Victoria St. Its also a short walking distance to Kings Cross train station.
If you want to eat a good breakfast, the cafe accross the street (some french name I forget) is great.
Great foyers don't make a great stay
How did this hotel to get a small luxury hotel rating? Poor small undetailed rooms with uncomfortable beds. Why aren't the rooms checked properly and repainted when repairs are done. There were holes in the walls here. Sloppy. Best thing was the foyer and the helpful staff. O, and Salt does great food. Go there but don't stay, even if it is designer. But who?
Loved The Kirketon
Spent 8 days at the Kirketon and loved it. Rates seemed to have dropped significantly in the last couple of years, and the hotel represents excellent value. Good staff, good location and a stylish alternative to large scale american hotels. If the quality of your stay is determined by style, friendleness or getting to know an individual part of Sydney, rather than the number of hand towels (!) then this is a great place to stay.
I think under new management
Seeing the former review of the guest who stayed at The Kirketon Jan 9, who experienced a below average hotel must have just missed out on the new management team of The Kirketon by a day or two and he certainly missed out on the new rates.
My visit last week from Melbourne which is a regular event for work was a fantastic deal.
$129 per night, which is a bargain as the old management were selling the same room for $220, Aussie dollars that is.
The place is gorgeuos to look at , the restaurant and bars are sublime and you feel like a real guest.
And contrry to the former reviewer, my room was spotless and serviced just fine.
Good Luck to the new management.
At the new rates I will be back time and again.
Dan Uliel Melbourne Victoria
Quite disappointing
After a lot of research we chose the Kirketon as one of the supposedly leading "design boutiques" in Sydney.
The rooms were very small and in inexcusably poor condition. The carpet was badly stained, the bathroom tile stained, the paint chipped, and the air musty. The TV was hung from the ceiling on a mount such as usually seen in budget hotels. Our "superior" room (which we had originally booked at A$275. though the management dropped the rate to A$200 after we complained about the room) faced a brick wall 5 feet away and was almost completely bereft of furniture. (The large walk-in closet was a nice touch, admittedly.) And the service was quite disappointing as well. We only received bath towels (no washcloths or hand towesl) and sometimes only one to boot. The product (shampoo/conditioner) was generic, and never replenished during our stay. The cleaning was inadequate (we visited the beach on day 1 of an 8-day stay and the sand remained in the shower for the rest of the trip). The reception desk was friendly but generally not helpful -- and as there was no concierge, and usually only one person on duty, getting answers to any questions took quite a while.
The public spaces in the hotel were nicer than our room, and the bar (Fix) quite nice.
Even at A$200 we felt like we overpaid significantly. This was by far the worst hotel we stayed in during 3 weeks in Australia.

Have just returned from a 4 night stay at the Kirketon Sydney Staff really pleasant and helpful In a colourful part of Sydney Neat cafe across the road for breakfast/coffee Transport okay Kings X Station just down the street but needed a change of train/tram to get anywhere Too miniumalistic for us Rooms tiny No natural light had to go to street to check weather each morning Lighting in rooms to dull to read by Interior needs a re-vamp especially bathrooms Ventilation fans a must in the future Would not stay there again prefer to be more central ie The Rocks or CBD or Darling Harbour

Vivid Sydney... lights music
... away, with perfectly synchronized music and themes played, using the curvature of the monument as well as offering a splendid colorful reflection in the waters around it.. I myself ensured I was able to see the magnitude of the light show, from as far as Dawes Point, and during the walk in Circular Quay.. and finally.. standing in the opera house.. touching the walls where the lights came to life..
Hope you had a nice quick stroll through vivid Sydney.. !!!
Day of fun and sites
... pictures of this, the change in the landscape looking at the 5 pics was around 45 seconds! 5 mintues later, all was normal again. We took in the opera house and then went for Dinner in Darling Harbour, the same set up as the waterfront. Across the way from the restaurant was a Lincht Chocolate shop, they coerced me into buying some chocolate for dessert, who am I to argue. ...
Sydney Part 1 and Part 2
... and had a fabulous time and did an amazing hike.
Upon our return to Sydney the skies were blue and the sun was shining.
We were able to book a lovely inn on the north side of the Sydney
harbor, 4 houses down from the prime minister's house and a 5 minute
walk to the Harbour bridge. The skies on our second visit to Sydney were
clearly reflecting our 'Sydney trip – Take 2'. In the end we loved Sydney: the sites we saw, the food we ate ...
Is the Crocodile Burger Real Crocodile?
... although we walked for at least 2 hrs. Everyone over here seems more active than your average American— maybe that's one reason why there large size meals are equal to our small sizes. There are a continuous stream of runners all along the harbour and in the Botanic Gardens. There are plenty of people out walking the streets as you would expect in any large city, but it's definitely not crowded and easily navigable.
Forgetting what day it is now!
... 3 hours later and 18 AUD poorer from buying a picture of me in a grey romper suit attached by a small wire to the top of the bridge, I could have chewed my own asrm off I was so hungry. I headed straight back to the Glemham Hotel but to the rooftop this time for lunch overlooking the harbour. Over my burger and G&T, I devised my own little walking tour including the Nelson pub (the oldest in oz apparently) and a good view from Observatory Hill Park Rotunda and rested in the ...

Comment on: The Republican Party isnât dead - Opinion - The Boston Globe

The GOP is not run by "the Tea party". And the Democrats who in reality are far to the left of the middle, curiously tout Jon Stewart as an authority. Heaven help us! The Obama experiment has failed t more »

UConn Settles Sexual Assault Lawsuit By Heather Brandon & Lucy Nalpathanchil • Jul 18, 2014 Lucy Nalpathanchil / WNPR The University of Connecticut has settled a federal lawsuit filed by five women who claimed the school responded to their sexual assault complaints with indifference. Connecticut Colleges Vary on Policies to Handle Dating Violence By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Jul 18, 2014 Concha García Hernández / Creative Commons One in three women nationwide say they've been in an abusive dating relationship while in college. With that in mind, the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the Injury Prevention Center at Connecticut Children's Medical Center, and Hartford Hospital have released a report examining what policies exist at state colleges and universities to address the problem. UConn's Athletic Director Sees Need for Student-Athlete Stipends By Associated Press • Jul 16, 2014 Chion Wolf / WNPR UConn's athletic director said he opposes the idea of unions for college athletes, but sees the need to provide students on athletic scholarships with additional money. Combining Food Stamps and Job Training in Connecticut By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Jul 10, 2014 Asnuntuck Community College One of Connecticut's community colleges has received additional funding to help food stamp recipients get jobs. Financing Higher Education By John Dankosky, Lydia Brown, Tucker Ives & Catie Talarski & Allison Ehrenreich • Jul 7, 2014 Chion Wolf / WNPR Some people say that bachelor's degrees are the new high school diplomas; they are becoming more and more necessary for job seekers to be competitive in the job market. But as the cost of higher education rises, students who attend college are now saddled with decades worth of debt in loans. New Laws Take Effect in Connecticut By Tucker Ives • Jul 1, 2014 Governor Dannel Malloy Connecticut's revised state budget and a host of new laws take effect Tuesday after being passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Dannel Malloy. A Conversation With Hamden Mayor Scott Jackson By John Dankosky, Lydia Brown, Tucker Ives & Catie Talarski • Jun 30, 2014 Chion Wolf / WNPR A few months ago, I was asked to be part of a panel discussion about politics, and sat next to Hamden Mayor Scott Jackson. During the panel, he said something that you don't often hear out of municipal leaders in Connecticut -- that maybe one of our problems is that we have too many towns, or at least not enough cooperation between the ones we do have. Regionalization -- it's sometimes a dirty word in towns that value their "home rule" -- but it's also seen as increasingly necessary as a way to provide public services at the best possible cost. Deford: NCAA Says Amateurism Is Alive And Well, But The Jig Is Up By Frank Deford • Jun 25, 2014 Amateurism is dead, revealed so in the trial against the NCAA now in progress in Oakland, Calif., U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken presiding. Before her skeptical eyes, amateurism has been laid out naked on a courtroom slab for a jury of all fans to see that it has no beating heart. Amateurism, Judge Wilken has been told in the case, commonly known as the O'Bannon trial, nobly protects college athletes from being exploited by evil outsiders — so the NCAA knighthood was created in order that colleges could tie up athletes all by themselves. In War Against AIDS, a New Potential Weapon: Video Games By Patrick Skahill • Jun 19, 2014 L.Bö / Flickr Creative Commons It's not something you'd immediately associate with staying healthy: video games. A professor at Quinnipiac University is exploring whether or not digital avatars can encourage gay men in Mexico City to get tested regularly for HIV. Concern Over Faculty Layoffs at Quinnipiac University By Diane Orson • Jun 18, 2014 Wikimedia User: Wasted Time R / Creative Commons The Connecticut chapter of the American Association of University Professors said it's deeply concerned about the way Quinnipiac University recently laid off members of its faculty. UConn, City of Hartford Mark Development Agreement By Heather Brandon • Jun 3, 2014 Peter Morenus / UConn UConn officials and the city of Hartford marked a development agreement milestone on Tuesday. The university is capping an effort to move its West Hartford campus to a new location called UConn Hartford. The Scramble: Liberal Arts, Carbon Emissions and Of Course, Jeopardy! By Colin McEnroe & Betsy Kaplan • Jun 2, 2014 Wesleyan University / Wikimedia Commons Is college worth it? The news about higher education is mostly bad. Student loan debt is now $1 trillion and climbing. Underpaid, demoralized, and harassed adjunct faculty are taking on more and more of the teaching load. By many measures, college isn't doing its most important job: providing a ladder that young people with fewer advantages can climb. College right now seems to be reinforcing class structure rather than loosening it up. Into all of the above steps an optimist: Wesleyan president Michael Roth, who doesn't deny the problems, but insists that a liberal education is essential, and worth it. Despite the shift towards specialized courses of study, a liberal arts education is more important than ever. Technical High School Students Detail Energy Use By Associated Press • May 29, 2014 Mark Mühlhaus / attenzione Students in five Connecticut technical high schools are set to present findings and recommendations from a year-long investigation of the environmental impact of their school's energy use. When College Isn't Worth It By editor • May 28, 2014 The New York Times highlighted new data yesterday that once again beats the drum: Despite skyrocketing costs, a college degree is a good investment. In fact, MIT economist David Autor writes in the journal Science that the value of a degree is rising. College grads made almost twice as much per hour in 2013 as workers without a four-year degree. And the lifetime value of a diploma is now around a half-million dollars, even after you factor in tuition. Ollie, UConn Agree to $15 Million, Five-Year Contract By Associated Press • May 22, 2014 Army Staff Sgt. Sean K. Harp / Department of Defense Connecticut basketball coach Kevin Ollie has agreed to a $15 million, five-year contract with the national champion Huskies.

Abramson To Wake Forest Grads: 'Show What You're Made Of' By Juana Summers • May 19, 2014 When Wake Forest University officials invited Jill Abramson to deliver this year's commencement speech, they probably didn't realize they'd be in the midst of one of the biggest media controversies of the year.

Poll: Prestigious Colleges Won't Make You Happier In Life Or Work By Anya Kamenetz • May 6, 2014 There's plenty of anxiety in the U.S. over getting into a top college. But a new Gallup poll suggests that, later in life, it doesn't matter nearly as much as we think. In fact, when you ask college graduates whether they're "engaged" with their work or "thriving" in all aspects of their lives, their responses don't vary one bit whether they went to a prestigious college or not.

Visited this often overlooked cafe whilst looking for art. The food range is limited but excellent. Everything is home made, affordable and served in seconds. The staff really went the extra mile and felt like a team.
Looked intriguing from the outside, art work good but little atmosphere in the cafe section. Plus lots of steps to negotiate.
Called in late for a drink after a long walk on the Cleveland Way. No scones left as a but late but opted for cakes and hot chocolate. Hot chocolate was great, being served with marshmallows. Very hot and very tasty. Hubby not a lover of marshmallows so was given a biscuit instead - a nice touch. We chose from...
So calm and relaxing above the bustle of the street. The Art Cafe is somewhere I return to time and time again. Lovely owners, fabulous artwork and really tasty food. The peanut butter and apple sandwich sounds curious but tastes magnificent. Free wifi and a laid back atmosphere The Art Cafe is a must if you want to get away...
We visited twice during our week long stay and would have liked to visit a third time. The soups are very good and together with the bread are very filling. The cakes are delicious, particularly the fruit cake which we rated as the best we'd had in a long time. We were very pleased that we found this cafe and...
Well actually an annual regular treat ! We always visit the art cafe when we come to Whitby. The coffee is good and the kids love the milkshakes. Overall I also think it is very good value, £1.80 for an Americano is competitive . The surroundings are also good, plenty of magazines, cosy sofas , Wifi and art work to...
We found this place purely by accident on a quick visit to Whitby. We wanted a coffee and a quiet break from the surging mob that Whitby draws unto itself. You might miss it because it is upstairs but worth the search. A real oasis of calm with a modern touch - losts of good quality art (paintings, sculpture and...
Finally we have found a place in Whitby that serves excellent coffee! We have tried just about everywhere and this is the best. Others are watery, bitter or tasteless. The owners are really lovely and welcoming and the surroundings (an art and craft gallery) are relaxing and inspirational.
Called in for a coffee & found the place very relaxing with beautiful art on display & magazines to read.
Lovely cakes & comfy leather settees .
Very impressed & was so different & special to the ordinary cafes around.
Will return
Went in to have a cup of tea and will be coming back to the cafe in the next few days. Very friendly with some good pieces of art around the place.A good atmosphere and a great place to relax for half an hour

Do you think I should go out and patrol the neighborhood??

I never answer the door unless I am expecting someone, just don't want to be bothered. But, like unclehomerr, I have more than one gun easily reachable and have spent many years using them. Common gun wisdom is that you never point one unless you are fully willing to take a life . . . . and I have no problem at all with that. Come into my house uninvited and leave in a plastic coroner's bag.

Photo: Someone In Wisconsin Put Up A Craigslist Ad For A Kicker
When a starting linebacker is also named the field goal specialist for kicks longer than 45 yards, you just know there are going to be some jokes in response. Last night, Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen announced that the Badgers will be using linebacker Chris Borland on long field goal tries – a move that, needless to say, is interesting. The team is moving away from using Kyle French, who is 5/8 this season so far, instead opting for a combination of Jack Russell and the aforementioned Borland.
With all of the confusion, one fan has had enough. He/she just wants to open the starting job up to the public – via Craigslist:
As you can see, the poster also takes a shot at the refs from the Arizona State game, which Wisconsin lost in ridiculous fashion.
Hey, Oregon State is taking highlight reels from the general public – maybe Wisconsin should too?

Final Fantasy faithful have been waiting on an oft-rumored remake of the landmark seventh installment in the series for years. Although Square Enix hasn't seen fit to even announce such a project, it has kept up a steady stream of Final Fantasy spin-offs and remakes to keep fans busy in the meantime.
Today the publisher confirmed the North American release of the latest such remake, Final Fantasy IV for the Nintendo DS. Set to arrive on retailers' shelves on July 22, the game will feature 3D graphics, CG cutscenes with voice-overs, a remixed score by series composer Nobuo Uematsu, touch-screen support, and a multiplayer head-to-head battle mode.
A Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy IV was originally released in North America in 1991. However, because only one of the first three games had been localized, it was dubbed Final Fantasy II upon arrival.
Final Fantasy IV is rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older and will sell for $39.99.

Gender in Bible translation
|This article's lead section may not adequately summarize key points of its contents. (March 2015)
|This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Article title is "Gender in Bible translation" but the article itself also refers to prayerbooks and jewish practises, so title and content do not fit together.. (June 2015)
Gender in Bible translation concerns various issues, such as the gender of God and generic antecedents in reference to people.
Translation of the names of God[edit]
There are a number of ways to translate the names of God into English from Hebrew. Hebrew uses only four consonants for the name — Yod-Heh-Waw-Heh (יהוה, YHWH) — hence it is called the Tetragrammaton. Some modern English bibles render this as LORD — L capital, and ord in small capital font face. Others use Yahweh, and the old King James Version used Jehovah. In English, outside Bible translations, the tetragrammaton is often written as YHWH or YHVH.
The original meaning of this form is connected with the "I AM" of Exodus 3:14 (and it probably contains a Hebrew masculine verb prefix — the Y or yod). Sometimes this word is rendered into English by using Hebrew Adonai, instead of attempting to directly translate YHWH, following an ancient Jewish custom of respect.
The Hebrew word Adonai literally means my lord (with pseudo-plural), and is usually translated as Lord. The Hebrew names Elohim, El, Shaddai, and Yah are usually translated as God — with Elohim being the most common. Elyon translates as Most High.
There are a number of compound names for God. YHVH Tzevaot is translated as Lord of Hosts. YHVH Elohe tzevaot would be Lord God of Hosts. Among non-Orthodox Jews, there is a growing tendency to avoid the gender-in-English-language debate, and to simultaneously reclaim the vocabulary of Hebrew itself, by not translating these names in English prayers.
An example of a traditional translation is:
- "The earth belongs to the Lord, and all it contains; the world and its inhabitants." (Psalm 24)
An alternative translation is:
- "The earth belongs to Adonai, and all it contains; the world and its inhabitants."
Third person pronouns for God[edit]
Many prayers use one or more of the names for God many times within the same paragraph. The first time it appears a proper name is used, while further instances use a third person pronoun (he, she or it). English speakers usually use masculine or feminine third person pronouns to refer to people, and the third person pronoun - "it" - to refer to non-people. Traditionally, in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim writing, the third-person pronoun "He" has been used to refer to God in English translations. In non-religious contexts, English speakers have generally used the word "he" as a substitute for a gender-neutral third person pronoun.
The idea of God being an "It" rather than a "he" or "she" does have some support in Jewish, Christian and Islamic rationalist medieval thought, much of which was based on Neo-Aristotelian philosophy. Some medieval philosophers of all three of these religions took great pains to make clear that God was in no way like a person, and that all apparently physical descriptions of God were only poetic metaphors.
In the Chinese language, translators of the Christian Bible have created a new Chinese character to act as a divine pronoun: 祂 (Pinyin: tā). Tā, in essence, is the universal third person pronoun for all objects and persons. However, personhood (as well as gender) can be distinguished in writing. The normal pronoun for he, 他, is also used in generic cases. The radical 亻(rén) marks personhood (distinct from non-human referents), not simply gender alone. The radical in 祂, 礻(shì), marks the "elevated personhood" of divinity, without implying anything about the gender of the divinity referred to.
Translation "mankind" and "humankind"[edit]
The 1611 Authorized Version uses two gendered terms: "mankind" and "womankind". (Leviticus 18:22)
Opponents of gender neutral language argue that readers of English Bible translations who are not familiar with the original languages, can be influenced by feminist assertions that generic masculine language is to be understood literally.[1][page needed]
Gender neutral and gender sensitive prayerbooks[edit]
There are editions of prayer-books in the non-Orthodox denominations of Judaism, and in liberal denominations of Christianity, that have become sensitive to this issue. Several solutions have been proposed:
- Translating God as both "He" and "She". A few experimental prayerbooks by Reconstructionist Jewish feminists have tried alternating "he" and "she" within the same prayerbook, and sometimes even within the same prayer. This approach has failed to win widespread approval; critics object to it for many reasons, one of which is that this gives the appearance of dualism or goddess worship. Some liberal Protestant Christian denominations use this approach on occasion.
- Rewriting all prayers in the second person, only using the term "You". A few experimental prayerbooks by Reconstructionist Jewish feminists have tried this, but this approach has failed to win widespread approval.
- Gender-neutral translation involves rewriting prayers to remove all third-person pronouns. Sometimes this involves changing sentence and paragraph structure. This approach has been adopted by the editors of all new Reform and Reconstructionist Jewish prayerbooks. Some liberal Protestant Christians also have rewritten prayerbooks in this way. Conservative Judaism has rejected this approach because there are many cases where no such changes are possible without totally rewriting the sentence, thereby moving the English far from the Hebrew structure.
- Gender-neutral translation can also be accomplished by replacing third-person singular pronouns with third-person plural pronouns, repeating "God" each time to avoid "he". Some Christian translations of Scripture, including the New Jerusalem Bible, use this technique when referring to humans, but naturally this technique is not used in the case of God.
- Gender-sensitive translation. This approach is a modified form of the above. In this approach, one rewrites most sentences to remove third-person pronouns, but occasionally the pronoun "he" is allowed in order to preserve readability and the original sentence structure. This is the approach taken by Conservative Judaism in the four most recent editions of the Siddur Sim Shalom prayerbook family. Many inclusive-language Christian translations take this approach.
- Some Christian groups have created a new pronoun: God (subject or object), God's (possessive), Godself (reflexive). While the Catholic Church officially frowns on this, a significant number of American Catholic parishes alter the Mass responses by repeating "God" each time to avoid the third-person singular male pronoun. The use of the reflexive Godself is more rare.
- At least one bible translation from the Hebrew and Aramaic, the Hebraic Roots Version Scriptures(HRV)[2] postulates that the Holy Spirit (the Ruach HaQodesh) is referred to in feminine terms unlike the masculine terms applied to the Father and the Son.
Some critics object to this terminology. Particularly for those who believe feminist interpretation is misandrist (see above), terms such as "gender-neutral" and "gender-sensitive" can be offensive. Critics charge that these terms imply traditional interpretations are not sensitive to women. Nevertheless, in the lack of acceptable alternatives these phrases are used in this article.
Over the last twenty years[when?] many Jewish prayerbooks have been rewritten to be gender-neutral (Reform, Reconstructionist Judaism) or gender-sensitive (Conservative). Examples are shown in the following translations of Psalm 24. The following is a traditional translation excerpted from Siddur Sim Shalom, a Conservative siddur. (Ed. Jules Harlow)
- A Psalm of David.
- The Earth belongs to the Lord, and all it contains; the world and its inhabitants.
- He founded it upon the seas, and set it firm upon flowing waters.
- Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may rise in His sanctuary?
- One who has a clean hand and a pure heart, who has not used God's name in false oaths, who has not sworn deceitfully.
- he shall receive a blessing from the God of his deliverance.
A modern translation of Psalm 24 now appears in the revised editions of Siddur Sim Shalom.
- A Psalm of David.
- The Earth and its grandeur belong to Adonai; the world and its inhabitants.
- God founded it upon the seas, and set it firm upon flowing waters.
- Who may ascend the mountain of Adonai? Who may rise in God's sanctuary?
- One who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not used God's name in false oaths, who has not sworn deceitfully.
- shall receive a blessing from Adonai, a just reward from the God of deliverance.

Arthur Murray Dance StudioRead MoreLittle did Arthur Murray know when he opened the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in 1912 that it would play an integral part in history. It was a dance studio that helped revolutionize direct mail advertising and led Murray to be the first person in the world to broadcast live dance music on the radio. By the 1930s, he had his instructors teaching new dances including "The Big Apple," followed by the "Teeny Banana" on first-class steamship cruises. His instructors moved from steamships to big screens, teaching actors dance moves and starring in such films as Dirty Dancing and Saturday Night Fever. By then, the studio had inspired the hit song "Arthur Murray Taught Me Dancing In A Hurry" by Betty Hutton and the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. Today, the studio's name appears on the pages of Vogue, Martha Stewart Wedding, and Sports Illustrated. Aside from remaining a presence in media and cities around the world, the Arthur Murray Dance Studio gets feet moving by teaching popular dances that include the cha-cha, fox trot, salsa, samba, and swing.
