I need to speed up my coding, too much work, so I need be able to generate code. Any tools, any ideas?
Delphi includes Live Templates, a completely scriptable and configurable system for generating code constructs of any size or complexity.
Live Templates are, in my view, one of the more under-appreciated features in Delphi.
Find out how to use them at: http://delphi.wikia.com/wiki/Delphi_Live_Templates
Live templates are completely scriptable, meaning you can write Delphi code to do whatever you want with them.
An extendable example can be found here:
I wrote a code generator calle CodeTypo. I'm used it in many production environment. You can find it here: http://dade2000.altervista.org/index.php?page=CodeTypo
It's still in beta phase but is usable and reasonably stable.
I'll migrate all content of this old site in the new one (www.danieleteti.it) in english. And I'll add some other info about CodeTypo and code generators.
Have you tried GExpert? It is a set of tools built to increase the productivity of Delphi and C++Builder programmers by adding several features to the IDE. GExperts is developed as Open Source software.
Other alternative is using project template by saving a framework into the IDE Repository, create your own components and frames.
ModelMaker Code Explorer speed up my coding in times. It has a nice hotkeys for synchronising implementation and declaration, so if you changed one, you don't have to search for it pair. Also, very nice feature is, method editing dialog. And many more.
For me best way is by creating custom components, and then create designer for this component.
Custom designer allows you to setup all properties easy. Now i don't write code for such trivial task i just put control , open designer and set properties and rules that must be satisfied.
Not a very good idea IMHO. If you need generator, then probably you have lots of code that looks very similar, so instead of generator, better thing would be to rethink and refactor code you have.
That should result in less code that is easier to maintain and less code in future for similar tasks.
If you are doing database application, then you could use some good visual SQL query builder to help you create queries. That is part that Delphi was not very good (I don't know if it improved in D2007 and D2009)
EDIT - Regarding SQL generation
There's lots of comments about query builder.
The thing that sped up my Delphi coding the most was getting CodeRush for Delphi (via a DevExpress VCL subscription for Delphi 5, 6, 7) and setting up a ton of templates.
Rather than trying to code generate, you should probably just obtain code to do the bulk of what you want to do.
There are hundreds of free products at Sourceforge for Delphi.
And there are hundreds of thousands of code samples at Google Code Search that you can use.
Plus lots thousands of free or purchaseable components at repositories such as Torry's Delphi Pages or Embarcadero's Code Central for Delphi
Using components already made is the fastest way to speed up your coding, and to add capabilities that you would never have been able to.
If you mean something like a modeling tool, you could try out ModelMaker.

It may have been a day off for many students, state workers and others, but for many area residents it was a day of cleaning up, and with hundreds of residents still without power it was also a day of waiting.
One Killearn family is spending their day off together, but it's not much of a vacation. Picking up after Frances was an activity that branched out into many local neighborhoods.
The city has some guidelines when it comes to getting rid of the debris. Limbs can only be six feet long; stack them at four feet, and they can only have a diameter of four inches.
Clearing away branches takes on a different meaning for utilities crews. As of Tuesday afternoon 500 Tallahassee customers were still without power, and with them spread out all over the city it could take 24 to 36 hours to get power restored.
Weary and working 17 hour shifts, crews say they're doing their best.
Donnie Vickers, a working foreman with the City of Tallahassee, says, "It takes a special person to do this job. Just want to say thanks to those who have stopped by hollered at us for working and saying thanks for doing a good job.
Utilities crews say they expect more limbs to fall as the branches have been weakened by Tropical Storm Francis. Overall, the City of Tallahassee received 284 calls for trees or limbs causing problems.

Joe Scott got another reminder this week of why he left Air Force for Princeton, his alma mater.
One of his former players, Dan Nwaelele, was suspended for violating academy rules. No timetable is available for Nwaelele's return and new Air Force coach Chris Mooney essentially has no say in when, or if, Nwaelele will return.
Sure, Princeton has its own issues and standards. Scott recently lost forward Harrison Schaen when he didn't return to school this year for personal reasons, according to the university. If there were academic issues involved, that certainly would be out of Scott's control, too.
But it's still tougher at Air Force, not only to keep everyone on the roster and to recruit, but to move to another job if he so wanted.
So Scott's move from Air Force to Princeton shouldn't come as a shock -- even after he led the Falcons on a remarkable run to the Mountain West Conference regular-season title (12-2), the school's best record ever (22-7), and its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1962.
Princeton is his home, and when John Thompson III went to Georgetown, there was no other choice but Scott.
"I don't want to say something negative about Air Force, but there are things that could happen there on a daily basis, like if (star center) Nick Welch were to drink a beer last season (and was suspended), then we would be below .500," Scott said. "Ultimately, there are things that go on there as a basketball coach that you don't have much control over. When decisions are made, you're not at the decision-making table. That all goes into the stability of being here. I feel really good that we can win here every year."
Princeton has as rich a basketball tradition as Kentucky, albeit at a different level. Basketball is the main sport at Princeton and always will be, regardless of the coach. Princeton enters every season as the co-favorite with Penn to get the NCAA bid out of the Ivy -- one of the two schools has won the league every season since 1989.
"Ultimately, I didn't want to wake up every March and wonder what jobs are open," Scott said. "You're always thinking the grass is greener if something comes up. But this place is special."
Scott's name did surface at Texas A&M, but if Billy Gillispie wanted the job (and he did, ultimately taking it), Scott wasn't going to beat out the former UTEP coach.
Scott, though, is excited about the possibilities at Princeton.
"This is a high-profile job," Scott said. "We're on TV. Basketball is the sport here. There is an excitement about basketball. We were building it at Air Force, but it's been here for 40 years. We're thinking how to upgrade here -- the players' lounge, the offices, those kinds of things over the next two years."
Scott still had a tough time making the decision since Air Force should be a contender in the MWC again. But he could have an even tougher team at Princeton. Thompson III wrestled with leaving his alma mater because he said the Tigers could have a special season, the kind that involves victories over Syracuse and Duke during the regular season and a win or two in the NCAA Tournament.
Not having Schaen and his inside scoring and defense hurts the Tigers in trying to win those types of games, but this team shouldn't have too much of an issue winning the Ivy.
"This program has a special tradition," Scott said. "It did go to a Final Four (in 1965). It has been in the top 10. I played here. I played for coach Carril. My friends are here. Princeton has the tradition. We all have the fondness for it. That's why it was hard to leave for John and why it was easy for me to come back."

good to know
Where does the jerky come from?
All of our jerky comes from farms which comply with Red Tractor standards. Red Tractor sets standards to cover all aspects of the supply chain including food safety and traceability, animal welfare, and environmental protection.
You can read more about this here:
Does the jerky contain any preservatives?
No, we have spent a long time searching for really great tasting jerky that doesn't contain anything artificial. Our jerky is marinated and then smoked, slowly cooked and dried. This process naturally preserves the meat without the need to add any nasties.
Is the jerky raw?
No, the beef and pork are cooked before they're dried. As jerky is a dried product the texture of the meat can be a bit chewy, so please be aware if you haven't got strong teeth.
How long will the jerky last?
You will have 7 days to enjoy your jerky once you have received it in your box and, as with all of our nibbles, it does not need to be refrigerated.
How do I check the ingredients?
Just click on the picture to see the full list of ingredients.
Will I automatically be sent the jerky?
No - we know that not everyone eats meat, so we've binned it for all of our grazers. If you would like to receive it in your box then make sure you rate it as try, like or love.
Is it suitable for coeliacs?
Neither our pork or beef jerky or their accompanying dips contain wheat or gluten as a listed ingredient.
Please be aware, however, that our jerky supplier handles other wheat products, so we can't guarantee that it is 100% wheat or gluten free. We also handle wheat and gluten in our own facility so cross contamination is possible.
Is it suitable for vegans and vegetarians?
How healthy is the jerky?
Our beef jerky dipper is only 91 calories and our pork jerky dipper is just 66 calories! Both are low in saturated fat and are high sources of protein, which our bones and muscles need in order to repair and grow to keep up with the demands of the day.

Scandal's Katie Lowes on marriage, plus news from HollywoodBy Gerri Miller
We talk with Scandal's Katie Lowe, plus news on Kate Hudson, Chelsea Handler & Jamie-Lynn Sigler.Go To Pop Culture
Tag Archives: wedding
Sam and I were discussing our ketubah (marriage contract) artwork and after much thought, we decided to ask Michelle to paint it for us. We looked at hundreds of designs online and most of the ketubot used trees because the Torah is referred to as the tree of life. We are comfortable using this imagery and would also like to incorporate the four seasons. After talking with Michelle she is combining these ideas into two trees of Spring and Summer reflecting the two trees of Fall and Winter to represent the years gone by and the years to come. We asked her to use chalk pastels in bright, bold colors to exude life and energy. Sam and I took what we liked from a lot of different designs and Michelle is combining all of our ideas together to create something uniquely for us.
Finding a scribe that would write interfaith text on a piece of someone else's art took some research. We found a scribe who belongs to the New York Society of Scribes and happened to be visiting Boston, near where Michelle lives. Michelle met with this scribe and together they picked out the paper that would be conducive for both her chalk pastels and his calligraphy ink. After much discussion, we realized that it would be better logistically for Michelle to do her artwork after he wrote both the Hebrew and English text.
Finding the text for the ketubah was more difficult. We looked at several texts and it was a lot easier to pick out the language we didn't like, than find something we both agreed upon. Sam wants the language to be more formal, in honoring the traditions of the past, whereas I would like the language to represent us both as equals. After going back and forth on text, nitpicking every word, we think we have finally agreed on some language but would like to get approval from our parents and Rabbi before the scribe begins his work.
Our goal is to get the text to the scribe by the end of this month, so he can create his calligraphy so Michelle has enough time to create her artwork. Our ketubah will be the most valuable piece of artwork in our home; therefore, we are being very diligent in crafting the language and design.
The Perfect Veil
My mom gave me her wedding veil: a simple veil that she had made for her wedding. In my head, I had always wanted a veil, but I wasn't sure why. I didn't know if it was a religious symbol or a fashion statement. I also was unsure of the "proper" way to wear the veil. Does the size and shape matter? Wanting to discover more, I did a little research in what the veil means, in both Judaism and Christianity.
Before the wedding veil was introduced, Christian brides wore a crown of twigs to symbolize the sacrifices in marriage. Jesus, the Ultimate Sacrifice, wore a crown of thorns on the cross. The moment Jesus died, the veil between the Holy of Holies and the Inner Sanctuary of the Temple was torn. A veil was used to shield sacred things, such as a chalice, tabernacle, or consecrated hosts, "from the eyes of sinful men". When the Temple veil was torn, the separation between God and Man was removed, now anyone enter the Holy of Holies and come in direct communication with God. When the wedding veil is removed during the marriage ceremony, the Christian bride is entering in a direct communication with God through the sacrament of marriage.
During the wedding the bride and groom are in an elevated state and are closer to God, the veil gives them a little privacy and covers the light, which emanates from the bride. Wearing a veil to shield against Divine light is also referred to when Moses received the Commandments. He placed a veil over his face to talk to the people in order to filter the Divine glare. The veil is also a reminder of the Veil of the Virgin Mary and her meekness, humility, submission and obedience to God. The wedding veil acknowledges the bride's submission to her husband, as the head of the household.
Traditionally, a Jewish bride wears the veil until she meets the groom under the chuppah, thus displaying her complete willingness to enter into marriage and her absolute trust that she is marrying the right man. In arranged marriages, the bride wore a red or yellow veil to conceal her completely and the colors were thought to ward off the evil spirits. The veil covers her face completely until just before the end of the wedding ceremony, when they are legally married according to Jewish law, then the groom lifts the veil as a way of consummating the marriage. This act of unveiling is usually directly before "you may kiss the bride".
This unveiling of the bride has many reasons behind it. The most common reason is to make sure that the groom is marrying the right person. In Genesis, Jacob's father-in-law tricked him into marrying Leah instead of Rachel. When the groom lifts the veil, this is the first time, that he sees the bride and the veil symbolizes that the groom is marrying her for her inner beauty and her beauty is only reserved for the groom alone.
The shape and size of the veil has evolved over time. In the Victorian Era the weight, length and quality of the wedding veil was a sign of social status. The length of the veil also determined the location of marriage. A chapel veil was worn in smaller churches and the veil extended only two yards from the headpiece, where as a Cathedral veil flows for three and a half yards from the headpiece to be worn in a grand Cathedral. Modern veils are no longer a sign of social status, or purity but have become more of a fashion statement and a bridal accessory. Just like all of the other wedding decisions, modern brides can choose what they would like their veil to look like and symbolize.
To me, my veil represents the beauty of my mom, who I look up to and admire. It is also a symbol of my own Christianity and beginning my new life with a Jewish spouse.
Meetings with the Monsignor
In order for my marriage to Sam to be recognized in the Catholic Church, I have to request permission from the Diocese for a special dispensation in order to marry a non-Catholic who was never baptized.
This document also requires my signature under this statement: "I reaffirm my faith in Jesus Christ and with God's help intend to continue living that faith in the Catholic Church. I promise to do all in my power to share the faith I have received with our children by having them baptized and raised as Catholics."
Crap! While we have discussed it on numerous occasions, Sam and I have yet to decide in which faith to raise our children.
With that in mind, we arranged to meet with Monsignor Hopkins, the priest at my family's parish, to talk about this special dispensation. We also wanted to discuss Pre-Cana, a Catholic pre-marriage course that discusses spirituality/faith, conflict resolution, careers, finances, intimacy/cohabitation, children, and commitment. In addition, we were looking for advice on how to incorporate both religions into our ceremony.
A few months ago, we had met with Father Hopkins to start talking about these issues. He advised us to hold the ceremony in a "neutral site", neither a synagogue nor a church. As a result of this discussion, we arranged to hold our ceremony at the country club where our reception will take place.
Last Saturday, we met with Father Hopkins to discuss the dispensation in further details. He gave us some really great advice that I would like to share with you:
- Deciding which religion to raise our children in is a very large, important decision that does not have to be decided right now, as long as we are seriously talking about it.
- Even if we are currently leaning more towards raising our children in one faith or the other, that may change once there is a baby in the picture.
- In talking about children, faith and our lives together, we should not "minimize or trivialize" the other's religion or beliefs.
- "Everything will be fine as long as your family loves and accepts Sam and his family loves and accepts you."
We talked about Pre-Cana. I have heard the amazing revelations (and some horror stories) of going through these Pre-Cana classes. I also feared the number of miles that we would put on our cars if we drove down to Delaware every weekend for 6 months to attend these classes. We floated the idea of taking Pre-Cana in New Jersey; however, I wanted to take the courses with a priest that I was comfortable with. Father mentioned that the class is mainly about communication and because our communication with each other is strong and we have started to incorporate the families into our decision making process, he is not requiring us to attend Pre-Cana.
We then discussed how to blend the different Jewish/Catholic symbols and rituals into the ceremony without offending anyone. Father Hopkins gave us some examples of programs from Catholic/Jewish ceremonies in which he officiated, and a list of readings and blessings to consider.
We still have a lot of decisions to make, and we are just about to hit the 8-month mark!
Exploring Our Interfaith Relationship(s)
Sam and I got engaged in September and this blog is our place to share with you a little bit about us as individuals and as a couple. We continue exploring and learning about each other. I will be writing these blog posts in collaboration with Sam.
It was two years, this past weekend, since I started dating my fiancé, Sam. We met online and neither of us were particularly looking to meet someone from a different faith; it just happened. On our second date, religion and faith was the topic of conversation and we started recognizing the similarities of Judaism and Catholicism.
Sam grew up in an interfaith household. His father is a Reform Jew and his mother is a practicing Presbyterian. All three children were raised as Jews. Because of this, Sam is very connected to his faith: sitting on a few committees of the local Jewish Federation, frequently attending services, and involved with lay leadership at his synagogue. I, on the other hand, was raised in a religiously conservative Roman Catholic household. My nine siblings and I went to church every Sunday, received the Sacraments as often as we could, attended private Catholic schools, and pray often as a family.
In trying to write this first blog post about our upcoming wedding, we asked each other a few questions about how faith played a role in our dating experiences.
Have you ever dated someone who was of a different faith?
Sam had dated Jews and people who were not Jewish and it didn't faze him one way or the other. He had even dated a Pastor's daughter. I had only dated Christians before Sam, some more practicing than others.
Did your parents/family have any expectations of you finding a significant other within your faith?
Because Sam grew up in an interfaith household, there was minimal pressure on him dating outside his faith. Growing up, he expected to raise Jewish children; whereas my parents expect Catholic grandchildren. (Expect more on this topic in a future blog post.) Interfaith is brand new territory for my family. Growing up, my family's circle of friends was from the private Catholic grade school and high school. I even went to a Catholic college, as did most of my siblings. I didn't have many non-Catholic friends, until I went to a Mormon graduate school. Even then, my best friend was another Catholic.
When did your family realize/find out that your significant other wasn't practicing the same religion?
For Sam this was a non-issue. It may have come up in casual conversation with his parents, but there wasn't a specific time when his parents were shocked that I wasn't Jewish. With me, it was quite different. In helping my mom prepare the Easter menu, I mentioned that I wanted to bring my boyfriend home and he had a few dietary restrictions. I offered to bring separate foods that were kosher for Passover, as to not put pressure on my family. We had only been dating for a few months, so I didn't want to make it a big deal that he wasn't Catholic. However, Mom told Dad, Dad told my brother Chris, who then told my sister Michelle, and shortly thereafter everyone in my family knew that Sam was Jewish.
The meal turned into my siblings asking Sam questions about Passover, his faith, and Judaism in general. Sam took this bombardment of questions like a champ! Sam joined us again for Easter this year and my family started embracing the kosher for Passover foods. My dear mom even experimented with matzah desserts! We said the grace before the meal and my Dad asked Sam to say his blessing, which he did in Hebrew. It was then, that my very conservative Catholic grandfather realized that Sam wasn't Catholic. (Expect more on Sam's relationship with my grandfather in a future blog post.)
Because you were dating someone of a different faith, did you have doubts about the relationship?
Sam didn't have any doubts in being in an interfaith relationship because he saw his parents as role models. He had grown up practicing Judaism, but also experiencing major Christian holidays with his mom. My answer is not as simple. I did have doubts about overcoming the faith-related hurdles of our relationship. The more I would practice my own faith, the more I would struggle with our relationship. "How I could be with someone who didn't believe in Jesus? How would we raise our children?"
Thankfully, my friends calmed my fears and gave me advice to take this relationship one step at a time, because if it was meant to be, we would figure it out. Fast forward two years and those questions aren't as huge, not because I have found the answers, but because I have found someone to help me work toward the answers.
When did you realize that this interfaith relationship would last?
We both realized this around the same time. I had surgery last summer with a very long and painful recovery process. It was during this time that we realized the power of our relationship. Sam was incredible. He was at my bed side every day, helped me go through physical therapy, saw me at my worst, and gave me strength. It was also during this time that my family realized how committed Sam was to this relationship despite our different faiths.
As we approach our October 2014 wedding, we look forward to sharing more about our relationship in this blog. We hope that you will follow our journey and that our stories will help you explore your relationships.
Tell us about your interfaith relationship. Are there any similarities to ours?
And so it begins…
Chris and Dana here; the new couple for InterfaithFamily's wedding blog. We're so excited to share our experiences with you.
Let us begin by introducing ourselves. Dana is originally from central Massachusetts and Chris is from southern New Hampshire. We met in Boston after college while working as Americorps volunteers for a non-profit called Playworks and have been together for over five years. Dana was raised conservative Jewish and Chris was raised Catholic but currently neither of us attend service regularly. We still live in Boston in our newly purchased condo and are both still working in Education; Chris as a first grade teacher at a Boston Public School and Dana as a school administrator at a private school in Boston.
It has certainly taken us some time to get used to our different religions and traditions, but we have both been very open-minded throughout the learning process. We have each tried new things and gotten involved in one another's faith. A key element of this is that we participate when we feel comfortable to do so and 'sit it out' when we don't.
Now…about our wedding! We got engaged in November of 2012 and are getting married next June, 2014 at Dana's parents' home. The ceremony will take place in the front yard and the reception will be in backyard under a tent, in what Chris likes to call a "mullet wedding…business in the front, party in the back." We will be married by a mutual friend and plan to incorporate aspects of both religions into the wedding ceremony. While we are not entirely sure what that will look like yet, we do know a few key details: there will be a chuppah, designed by Dana's mother (more details about that later) and we will undoubtedly dance the hora, we will have a few Bible readings of Chris' choosing and Chris is extremely excited to break a glass and give guests custom-made Boston Bruins kippot.
So how is our relationship different than a same-faith couple? Well, we don't have to split holidays, which is pretty nice, and we get to celebrate both Christmas and Hannukah. In the beginning we often had to act as ambassadors for our respective faiths, explaining a lot and trying not to assume that the other knew things. We began the discussion of how to raise our children very early on and continue to give it a lot of thought. We both feel that religion is an important element of our lives both culturally and spiritually, and want to pass on the values we've received from our families and upbringing. However, we've also had to do a lot of self-reflection and think about how much of a role religion plays in each of our own lives at the moment.
It has certainly been a journey to get where we are now and we have learned a lot along the way. We are very excited to share our wedding experience with you readers and to see what our future brings!
Chris and Dana
Weddings Are a Lot Like Thanksgivukkah
Our wedding blogger Matt Rice recently wrapped up his blog after getting married to his now wife, Shannon. We're sad to see him leave our blog, but thrilled for his happy union. While we search for a new wedding blogger, I thought I would fill in since I recently got engaged! I have to be upfront though: My fiancé is Jewish, and I am Jewish, so we are not an interfaith couple. Scandalous, I know, but I think there are a lot of pieces of wedding planning that are similar for anyone planning a Jewish wedding—interfaith or not. To some extent, every wedding is the bringing together of two different faiths, and a couple must navigate their families' differences during the planning process. I hope I can be of help or at least amusement until we find a new blogger—and if you are planning a wedding and are interested in blogging, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I got engaged in September, and have already nailed down a date and a place, taken engagement photos (my brother is a photographer and was kind enough to give us this gift), blocked off hotel rooms for guests and are close to figuring out who our rabbi and caterer will be. Oh, and I tried on dresses yesterday. (Never has anything been more fun.) We can sit back and eat bon bons now, right?
Not so fast. We're planning on getting married in Bristol, Rhode Island, which means the bulk of our organizing revolves around the Newport area. Newport is a major wedding destination and everything from lodging to photographers book up quickly. (And no, my brother will not be allowed to work on our wedding day!)
My fiancé and I found ourselves suddenly going from blissfully engaged to full-on planning our wedding just two weeks after our engagement. Not to say this part isn't also exciting—from the grins on our faces, it's clear we are not exactly sweating it. But at the same time, after each item gets checked off the list, there's another one waiting to be explored just as urgently.
It's kind of like holiday prep—I realize many of us are overwhelmed with the upcoming Thanksgivukkah mega holiday (Is it here yet???), but of course we're looking forward to it at the same time. How do you keep things in perspective when you're stressed out prepping for a holiday that is both celebratory and spiritual? IFF/Chicago director Ari Moffic blogged about stress release during the holidays.
When it comes to wedding planning, I find that what keeps the process fun, exciting and meaningful is the constant reminder of what will be our joy at the end of it all: a day in which we make a lifelong commitment surrounded by our loved ones. Eye on the prize.
But how do you keep your eye on the prize when there is a seemingly endless list of things to do to prepare for your wedding day over the next TEN months? Take a step back. What works for me might not work for you, but simply spending quality time with my fiancé and participating in the planning together is what I find makes it all meaningful. It's more fun to pick out save the dates or imagine a menu when you're bouncing ideas off your fiancé. I realize I am lucky in that my fiancé actually wants to be an equal player in this process, which is not often the case. (I'm sorry if that sounds sexist: I do not mean to say this exclusively pertains to men. But often there is one person who is less interested in planning than the other.)
I also know that I'm only two months into wedding planning. I keep hearing that things will get more stressful as it gets closer. But your fiancé is your support. He or she is your partner and your care taker and your source of joy. Whether or not they want to help you pick out flower arrangements–and whether or not you agree on bigger issues like whether or not to have a rabbi officiate the ceremony–lean on that person. I promise everything will seem easier.
Rabbi Freedman on Interfaith Marriage
Rabbi Eli Freedman came into my life just as I was beginning to explore the possibility of converting to Judaism. I first met him at a Shabbat dinner when he handed me a beer and said, "The synagogue's men's club brewed this." That's when I thought, "I'm going to study with this guy."
Rabbi Freedman, to me, is an embodiment of the notion that Judaism is a lived religion. In addition to his pastoral role at Rodeph Shalom, Rabbi Freedman is involved in various social justice initiatives, particularly P.O.W.E.R. (Philadelphians Organized to Witness, Empower and Rebuild). Rabbi Freedman lives by the words of Rabbi Tarfon: "It is not up to you to finish the work, but neither are you free to desist from it." (Pirkei Avot 2:16.) I'm pleased to share a few words with you from Rabbi Freedman about intermarriage.
I was touched by the words of Matt Rice, my student, my teacher and my friend. I could not agree more with Matt's view of intermarriage. I truly believe that the problem is not intermarriage—it is apathy.
I like to call this the "Brandeis Syndrome." I went to Brandeis University for my undergraduate studies. You may have heard of it—there are a couple Jews there! But I have never before seen so many apathetic young Jews in my life. When I asked my friends why they weren't involved in Jewish life on campus, their response was usually something along the lines of, "I go to Brandeis; isn't that Jewish enough?!"
Rabbi Leo Baeck once wrote, "A minority is always compelled to think. That is the blessing of being in the minority." Just like those Jews at Brandeis who took their Judaism for granted, I find that Jewish/Jewish couples take their Judaism for granted as well. They figure that because they are both Jewish, they need not do anything else and that their family will automatically be a thriving Jewish family. Whereas, interfaith couples are forced to think. Because of this, they often make much more conscious decisions of how Judaism will be practiced in their home and they are much more mindful of their children's religious upbringing. That is the blessing of being an interfaith couple.
The key to this, however, is that congregations and clergy reach out and help those who want to make educated decisions. As Matt writes, "Embrace loving couples and they will respond." We must strive to welcome interfaith families into our congregations and give them the tools make Judaism a part of their lives.

Let Us Now Praise Famous Mensches: Celebrating Interfaith Marriage
This morning I put a cross into a drawer. It was a cradle cross that Leacock Presbyterian Church gave my parents when I was born. My mother returned it to me on the day of Shannon's bridal shower. "I wasn't sure if you'd want it or not," she said. I wasn't sure either. It's the symbol of a tradition I left behind. If it ever hung over my crib, which was its intent, I don't remember it. My earliest memory is of being held by my mother and draping a handkerchief over head like it was a tablecloth. There's a picture of that moment: I was proud of myself, smiling ear-to-ear. That I remember the moment at all might be a result of its having been caught on film. Memory is like that: fluid, permeable, changing over time. Our memories shift to better inform our narratives of who we are and who we want to be.
The foundation of Jewish peoplehood is our historical memory. From the hasidim who believe literally in the revelation at Sinai, to secular Yiddishists who recall the travails of Ashkenaz, or, like most Jews, somewhere in between, we are united by our shared memories. The Hebrew calendar is structured around our stories: we are liberated during Passover, wander the wilderness during Sukkot and receive Torah on Shavuot. The irony of Jewish time is that, although we were among the first peoples to insist upon a linear, rather than a cyclical, view of history, we relive the same events from year to year. Perhaps that's why, despite our disagreements, we persevere, why we remain one people. It reminds me of Romi Somek's "A Poem of Bliss": "We are placed upon a wedding cake/like two dolls, bride and groom./When the knife strikes,/We'll try to stay on the same piece."
The sense of foreboding evident in the last lines of Somek's poem looms large in Jewish memory. The Shoah casts a long shadow over us all, as it rightly should. So too do other tragedies, from the expulsion of our people from Spain in 1492, to the Munich Olympics, to the countless injustices done to men and women long gone to dust. The price of Never Forgetting is Eternal Vigilance, necessary but wearying to the psyche. Watchfulness has engendered in some quarters of the Jewish community a sense of permanent crisis, that the "knife" of Somek's poem is always poised to strike. We see bogeymen at every turn: the president's policy towards Israel, Muslim immigration to the West, Iran, assimilation, intermarriage. For some Jews, intermarriage is the most insidious crisis of all, "perpetrated" by its own "victims."
That attitude toward intermarriage is further exacerbated by nostalgia. Some Jews shield themselves against the anxieties of the present by retreating into sentimentality. Informed by wisps of history, family memory, and pop culture (think Fiddler on the Roof), we have constructed a dreamworld alternative to the present, an eternal shtetl cast always in the golden sunlight of American afternoons. We smile at the women baking challah. We nod at the old men praying in shul. We're comforted by the singsong strains of Yiddish bubbling forth from homes. But to remember it thus is to do our ancestors a disservice. The shtetlach were nothing like our dreamworld; rather, they were characterized by poverty, wretchedness, superstition and filth. Walk the cramped and muddy streets. Here women served men, for they had no choice. Here bellies growled for want of food. Here the rebbes studied while their people suffered. If you ever hear anyone hearken back to how it was in the Old Country, ask them if they'd really like to visit. They may: There are haredi communities here and in Israel in which one may readily access "the world we have lost."
American Jews have no need to retreat into fear or sentimentality. We're thriving. We're more accepted than we have ever been, anywhere, at any other time in history. That you can no longer identify a Jew by peyot, by curly hair, or by surname, is not a cause for alarm, but for excitement. We're not disappearing; we're diversifying. Our contributions to American society speak to our success. We were at the forefront of white support for the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s, when Abraham Joshua Heschel marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. Now we're leading the charge into ethical and sustainable foodways through organizations such as Hazon and, in Philadelphia, Cafe Olam.
I've written this blog to demonstrate one thing: that we who intermarry are in no way enemies of Judaism or the Jewish people. We are individuals who have fallen in love with other individuals who are not themselves Jewish. Our partners love us, in part, because we're Jewish; after all, it's part of who we are. Writing in The Forward, Yoel Finkelman notes that the argument against intermarriage is a difficult one "because it's hard to muster much moral indignation against a loving, caring couple whose differing religious convictions are an accident of birth." Finkelman goes on to advocate synagogues' acceptance of homosexual Jewish couples as an antidote to intermarriage, but his argument is weakened by his previous statement. Finkelman, and all those who rant against intermarriage, should come to a hard stop: it is not ancestry or religion (or sexuality) that matters in a relationship, but love. Embrace loving couples and they will respond.
A Jewish friend of Shannon and I volunteered to teach our families the hora at our wedding party. Consider the image of dozens of non-Jews celebrating by learning a Jewish dance. Our union is but a tiny thread in the grand tapestry of our people's history. How lovely, and how appropriate, that it is a wedding that will bring Jews and non-Jews together, if only for a moment. We'll be wed the evening of Saturday, October 26. You're welcome to dance with us.
P.S. Please check back later for some final words from my friend and teacher Rabbi Eli Freedman of Congregation Rodeph Shalom.
Interfaith Marriage: Finding Meaning in the Journey
I went to Congregation Rodeph Shalom's Purim celebration this year. (Or last year, by the Hebrew calendar.)
The shul went all out. The theme was "A Night in Persia," and congregants came dressed in robes, bedecked themselves in scarves and beads, and happily buzzed around the room. Our cantor and one of our rabbis, both female, dressed as Women of the Wall; the other rabbis, both male, wore police costumes, looking like the Village People's second string. And of course there was drinking. Lots of drinking.
I didn't dress up. I didn't schmooze. And I didn't drink.
When I told a friend about it the next day, she laughed. "I'd expect nothing less of a Reform Jew," she said, "to know the 'right way' to do something and then do the opposite," playing on the Reform movement's ideal of informed practice, by which individual congregants educate themselves regarding traditions and then deciding which to follow and to what degree. I laughed, too. In my experience, there are few things Jews enjoy more than knowing what they should do, even when they're doing the opposite.
For instance, I don't keep kosher. Now, I am not sitting here with a wad of bacon in my mouth, drooling grease onto the keyboard. I don't even particularly like pork. But I still haven't been able to bring myself to quit it altogether. It isn't that I haven't thought about it; I have. I didn't grow up kosher, though, and, more importantly, while I respect halakhah, I have little patience for the way it can devolve into tedium. Consider this recipe for pretzel challah, shared by The Shiksa in the Kitchen. Great recipe. But the real treat is in the comments: If you scroll down, you'll find two halakhically-minded women arguing over whether or not one can say motzi over pretzel challah for Shabbat, since the bread is boiled rather than baked. It reminds me of the joke about the Jew on the desert island who built two synagogues. Why two? "Nu, one I pray in, the other I won't set foot in."
I recently stopped eating pork, though, quietly, assuming it would slip past Shannon's radar. Of course it didn't. "You stopped eating pork?" she asked me at a fair we attended a few weeks ago. She just knew. "Does that mean I can't make it anymore?" I hesitated. "I'll eat it if you cook it," I said, "but otherwise, no." I paused, waiting for an argument to start. Food and foodways are such personal things; they evoke strong responses. "I don't think I could give up pork," Shannon said. "Pork and sauerkraut on New Years', mmm!" (A Pennsylvania Dutch tradition.) And that was it. Shannon accepted the new paradigm.
I think Shannon is so accepting of such sudden changes on my part because she knows how important Judaism is to me, and because of how we've learned to accommodate one another. Several years ago I read Barbara Kingsolver's book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, in which she recounts her family's sustainable lifestyle. Kingsolver's clan attempted to reduce their carbon footprint by eating locally, permitting themselves only one "luxury" item, such as coffee or tea. When a family friend visits and asks for bananas, the Kingsolvers explain their philosophy to her. The scene stuck with me for years, and it wasn't until I converted to Judaism that I realized why: Kingsolver and her family lived their lives as if they mattered, as if individual choices have meaning and consequence. That's what Judaism has done for me. I think Shannon knows that.
In last week's parsha, Lekh L'kha, God tells Abraham (then Abram) to decamp for Canaan. "Lekh l'kha" is usually translated as "Go forth," but it literally means "Go to (or for) you." Thus "Go forth from your native land might be read as, "Go, for you, from your native land." "Go," God tells Abraham, "and I will make of you a great nation, / And I will bless you; / I will make your name great, / And you shall be a blessing." (Breishit / Genesis 12:1-3.)
Shannon and I, like Sarah and Abraham, are journeying, heading from the safety of the "native lands" of singlehood to the unknown territories of marriage. We find security in our knowledge of one another, even in Shannon's ability to intuit on my part a change in my attitude towards kashrut. We head forth together, as individuals, but also "for us," as a couple. And that shall be a blessing.
Naming Our Fears: When Have We Asked Too Much?
A Muslim man greeted me with "As-salamu alaykum" on Rosh Hashanah morning. Having seen the kufi-style yarmulke I wore, he acknowledged me as he passed the bench on which Shannon and I sat. "He said 'hello' to you," Shannon told me as I wrested my attention away from my smartphone. "He did?" I said, blinking in surprise. I caught the man's eye, but reacted too slowly to respond to him.
I thought about that brief interaction during the train ride back to our apartment. I felt badly that I hadn't replied to the man's greeting. G. Willow Wilson, writing in her memoir The Butterfly Mosque, notes that it is a grave insult when one Muslim ignores another's "hello." I'm not Muslim, of course, but the man who spoke to me thought otherwise. I wondered what the appropriate response might have been. Should I have ignored his mistake and replied, "Wa alaykumu salam"? Should I have smiled and said, "Aleichem shalom?" My concern was further exacerbated when the passenger sitting behind Shannon and I leaned forward and asked, "Hey, man, are you Muslim or Jewish?"
Richard Fletcher, in his book Moorish Spain, describes a piece of art in the Grand Mosque of Cordoba: the crude image of a man who appears to be shrieking in terror. It is only upon consideration that the viewer realizes that the man is not screaming, but praying. Fletcher sees in this image's ambiguity, in the confusion it evokes in people looking at it, a metaphor for the West.
Echoing Fletcher's characterization of Western history, my first college professor lectured about the seventeenth century false messiah Sabbetai Zvi. When not engaged in mystical study, Zvi performed bizarre public acts, marrying himself to a Torah scroll and otherwise promoting his messianic aspirations. "Is this the nature of Western history?" my professor mused. "Is Western civilization schizophrenic?"
Teaching about anti-Semitism, the same professor maintained that hatred of the Jews stemmed from our status as the "Eternal Other." Our people's mere existence was a provocation, serving as it did as a refutation of the West's foundational beliefs: namely, that mankind was redeemed by the son of God. Our stubborn refusal to accept Christianity caused doubt among Christians themselves, who then projected their anxieties back onto us in violent ways. According to this argument, anti-Semitism is the result of a process similar to the formation of a pearl, only the product is not a thing of beauty, but a perfect sort of hatred.
Jews are accepted in America as we have been in few other times and places. I believe that will remain true. But some thinkers are less sanguine about the future of world Jewry. Mosaic Magazine recently questioned the future of European Jews, and Tablet ran a review of two new scholarly books on anti-Semitism under the headline "Why Literally Everyone in the World Hates Jews, and What To Do About It." I mentioned these articles to a friend, who replied that anti-Semitism always increases during difficult economic times. I'm not convinced that there is a "reasonable" explanation for such irrational hatred.
I am not genetically Jewish. (A DNA test that Shannon and I took a few weeks ago revealed in our genes the absence of Ashkenazi ancestry. For more on the genetics of Jewish identity, see Harry Ostrer's book Legacy: A Genetic History of the Jewish People.) We who count ourselves members of the Tribe know that "Jewishness" is a slippery thing, comprised of, but not singularly defined as, peoplehood, ancestry, ethnicity, culture and religion. I doubt that bigots are so discerning. To anti-Semites, a Jew is a Jew. Perversely, I welcome the equality of status in the Jewish community granted me by bigots but denied me by our own hardliners.
Engaged to Shannon, though, I no longer speak for myself alone. I must consider my partner's well being in all things. The local news station ran on the morning before Erev Rosh Hashanah a story about a fire at a home in the Philadelphia suburbs. The family was Jewish; the fire was an act of arson that appeared to be "racially" motivated. Coming as this news did amid stories about rising anti-Semitism and the looming crisis in Syria, it made for a bleak beginning to the new year.
The response the Muslim stranger's greeting provoked in me was less worry over hurt feelings than an existential dread. Lest anyone suspect me of Islamophobia, let me be clear: it is not Muslims I fear, but the potential for confusion and violence inherent in all faiths. I have bound myself to a people who has, for millennia, been the target of the worst travesties of faith. Shannon may not be Jewish, but by marrying me, she, too, will be casting her lot with us. Am I asking too much of her? Is it wrong of me to request of Shannon that she join me on a path I freely chose?
On Rosh Hashanah we recite the Unetanneh Tokef, a litany of misfortunes that might befall us during the coming year. I wonder if, by naming our fears, we're trying to rob them of the possibility of coming true.
For those readers who don't know, "as-salamu alaykum," and its Hebrew equivalent, "shalom aleichem," means "peace be upon you." The appropriate reply inverts the words: "wa alaykumu salam" (in Hebrew, "aleichem shalom") or, "upon you be peace." I think there's something lovely about such a greeting. (It also serves as "goodbye.") "Shalom aleichem" is a favorite expression of mine, but it's the sentiment behind it that matters. May we wish peace to friends and strangers alike in the coming year.

Having said that, it's not my favourite, but it's a nice addition to the cupboard for the days when you want something a little different. It's not a "candy" type raspberry taste, if you know what I mean. Seems to be more a true raspberry taste with the chocolate. If you are a fan of this combination I think you'll like it a lot.
Love these!

Don't Know Much Revisionist History
Conservatives are appalled by changes to the AP U.S. history exam. Which is funny, because the changes are hardly revolutionary.
In 2010, Virginia gave a new history textbook to its fourth-graders: Our Virginia: Past and Present. Written by Joy Masoff—an author, but not a trained historian—she deals with the usual founding facts of commonwealth history: Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg, Thomas Jefferson, and the Revolution.
But when Masoff gets to the Civil War, she goes off the rails. "Thousands of Southern blacks fought in Confederate ranks," she writes, "including two black battalions under the command of Stonewall Jackson." Historians in the state were appalled. Not only was there little evidence of mass voluntary participation among blacks in the Confederate war effort, but the Jackson line is pure fantasy. In fact, Masoff copied the claim from the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a group that insists on the reality of black Confederate soldiers, and whose in-house historian, Charles Kelly Barrow, argued the point in a book called Black Confederates.
Mainstream historians dismiss the claim, but it's easy to see how it persists. In a world where black soldiers willingly fought for the Confederacy, your beliefs are vindicated. Suddenly, the Confederate cause is noble—a fight for freedom against invaders, not a struggle in defense of slavery. Or, as Yale historian David Blight told the Washington Post, "This isn't just about the legitimacy of the Confederacy, it's about the legitimacy of the emancipation itself."
History education doesn't matter because of particular names and dates; it matters because history is one way we understand ourselves and our place in the world. If the Sons of Confederate Veterans believe in the myth of the black Confederate, it's because they also believe in the nobility of their predecessors, and the two are connected. Likewise, if historians want to strike Masoff's sentence from the record (which they eventually did), it's because they're committed to giving kids a fuller—and sometimes unflattering—story of Virginia's history.
But history has always been a clash for control of the narrative—a place where we fight to define our identity. Given the stakes, conflict is inevitable, even when the tweaks are minor. Take Advanced Placement United States history. A university-style course for ambitious high-schoolers, it's managed by the College Board, which prepares the year-end test and issues guidelines for teaching the course. Last month, the College Board released a new "curriculum framework" to help teachers shape material and prepare their students for the test. "In line with college and university U.S. history survey courses' increased focus on early and recent American history and decreased emphasis on other areas," explains the College Board, "the AP U.S. History course expands on the history of the Americas from 1491 to 1607 and from 1980 to the present."
The particular change is a greater focus on women and minorities, with thematic questions like "How have gender, class, ethnic, religious, regional, and other group identities changed in different eras?" and "How and why have moral, philosophical, and cultural values changed in what would become the United States?" At the end of the course, students are expected to do things like "Explain how conceptions of group identity and autonomy emerged out of cultural interactions between colonizing groups, Africans, and American Indians in the colonial era" and "Explain how the U.S. involvement in global conflicts in the 20th century set the stage for domestic social changes."
History teachers aside, most of the rest of the world shrugged. But conservatives noticed, and they were furious. The framework, resolved the Republican National Committee, is a "radically revisionist view of American history that emphasizes negative aspects of our nation's history while omitting or minimizing positive aspects."
"Instead of striving to build a 'City upon a Hill,' as generations of students have been taught, the colonists are portrayed as bigots who developed 'a rigid racial hierarchy' that was in turn derived from 'a strong belief in British racial and cultural superiority,' " wrote conservative groups American Principles in Action and Concerned Women for America in a joint open letter to the College Board. "The new Framework continues its theme of oppression and conflict by reinterpreting Manifest Destiny from a belief that America had a mission to spread democracy and new technologies across the continent to something that 'was built on a belief in white racial superiority and a sense of American cultural superiority.' "

Conor Crawford || Class --> Practical Battling
Iny responded as Conor offered to give her his jacket.
"Here you go"
Conor said as he removed his jacket, folded it up a bit and handed it across to Iny.
"Huh, I've never been there, Never really travelled all that much to be honest. Lavaridge is located in a place that makes traveling with a group rather difficult."
Iny explains.
"The town is kinda imbedded into the cliffs of the mountain with only a few safe ways to get down."
"Yeah, I heard about Lavaridge Town alright, it's supposed to be crazy warm. Personally I don't know if I could stick the heat, but I guess it's probably something you get used to as you grow up there."
Conor replied as he looked over towards Iny.
Conor was about to continue talking about Hoenn to Iny but was interrupted by the teacher who was making an announcement to the class.
"We are going to start the next part of the lesson. Make sure you have a jacket, enclosed shoes and long pants on, if you don't you may go and change quickly before heading out to the training fields... and yes I will know if you don't come back. I'll explain the rest of the lesson when you are there."
"I assume you're gonna head back and change?"
Conor quizzed looking over at Iny. Just then a voice came from the other end of the classroom.
"Hey guys, we're going outside now, come on!"
It was Mike, who seemed to be heading out in a short-sleeve shirt.
"Wow is he crazy?"
Conor thought, he then proceeded to look down and notice he too was wearing a short-sleeved shirt. He could do nothing but laugh to himself and proceed to get up out of his chair to continue with the next part of the lesson.

I'm really new at wordpress and it's the first time i try to make a website with that.
Today, when i logged in, i was inserting pictures to my media library. Then, i wanted to attach pictures to pages/posts and it didn't work.
When i preview the page/post, i saw menu had only one item instead of five. So i went to Appearance > Menu.
I tried to add pages, custom links to the menu but it always appears to be (pending).
I tried the following but no results:
- Reinstall (in Dashboard -> updates)
- Go in phpmyadmin and REPAIR TABLE ... USE_FRM for all tables
- Deactivate all plugin and then reactivate them
- Delete pictures one by one (massive deletion doesn't work either)
Please help me :s

Topic: AdVenture Capitalist: General / Bug Reports
When I watch an ad, it will tell me that I get double money for 4 hours. It would be sweet if only it worked. I will log off for a period of time and come back. At that time it might say: you earned 2 trillion while you were away. The problem is, once I pass that screen, I will only have 1 trillion. Ergo, the video ad bonus is broken. I am using the android app version. I guess I won't be watching ads till this is fixed.

Review Summary
- Convenient location in the trendy Rios Rosas neighborhood
- Spacious, warm rooms with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and quality mattresses
- Modern marble bathrooms with Bulgari toiletries
- Most rooms have great views of the Paseo del Castellana
- Large rooftop fitness center with modern equipment
- Outstanding cuisine: Santceloni Restaurant (with 2 Michelin stars) and a sushi bar
- Free Wi-Fi
- Non-street-facing rooms look onto a brick wall
- Restaurants are expensive (but for a reason)
Bottom Line
The 171-room Hesperia Madrid is located in the trendy Rios Rosas neighborhood. This upscale property offers spacious and comfortable rooms with fun design accents such as leopard print armchairs. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, quality mattresses, minibars, and big marble bathrooms. The common areas of the hotel are very well maintained, from the spacious lobby with plenty of lounge space to the rooftop fitness center. Dining choices here include a Michelin-rated restaurant, Santceloni, a sushi bar, a cocktail bar, or room service. The location and price make it suited for a well-heeled crowd, but the property doesn't offer a spa or a pool.
