Chapter 9
|1The people who walked in darkness, have seen a great light; those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death, light shone upon them.
|אהָעָם הַהֹלְכִים בַּחֹשֶׁךְ רָאוּ אוֹר גָּדוֹל יֹשְׁבֵי בְּאֶרֶץ צַלְמָוֶת אוֹר נָגַהּ עֲלֵיהֶם:
|The people who walked in darkness: The inhabitants of Jerusalem, who were darkened by their concern [of falling into the hands] of Sennacherib. Comp. with what Hezekiah said (infra 7: 3), "This day is a day of distress, debate, and blasphemy."
|have seen a great light: with Sennacherib's downfall.
|2You have aggrandized this nation; you have magnified the joy for them; they have rejoiced over You like the joy of harvest, as they rejoice when they divide spoils.
|בהִרְבִּיתָ הַגּוֹי לוֹ (כתיב לֹא) הִגְדַּלְתָּ הַשִּׂמְחָה שָֹמְחוּ לְפָנֶיךָ כְּשִׂמְחַת בַּקָּצִיר כַּאֲשֶׁר יָגִילוּ בְּחַלְּקָם שָׁלָל:
|You have aggrandized this nation: They have become aggrandized to all who hear of them, when the nations heard the miracles that were performed for them.
|You have magnified the joy for them: Heb. לוֹ, [lit. for him.] And not for his enemies. It is written לֹא, [spelled 'lammed aleph,' meaning 'not,'] since Hezekiah's joy was incomplete, because, at that time it was said to him (infra 39:6), everything in your palace… will be carried off to Babylonia."
|like the joy of harvest: Jonathan renders: like the joy of the victors of a battle, which is similar to the harvest; those who slay men cut throats. Scripture deviated from being explicit [lit. changed its language] to expound that the miracle took place on the night of the harvest of the omer.
|as they rejoice when they divide spoils: of Egypt in Moses' time, for here, too, they divided the spoils of Cush and Egypt and the coveted treasures of all the nations, for, when he returned from Tirhakah, king of Cush, he came to Jerusalem with all the treasures of Cush and Egypt, as it is stated (infra 45: 14): "The toil of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush and the Sebaites…" And all this Hezekiah and his people plundered.
|3For, the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of the one who oppressed him have You broken, as on the day of Midian.
|גכִּי | אֶת עֹל סֻבֳּלוֹ וְאֵת מַטֵּה שִׁכְמוֹ שֵׁבֶט הַנֹּגֵשׂ בּוֹ הַחִתֹּתָ כְּיוֹם מִדְיָן:
|For the yoke of his burden: The yoke which was a burden to Hezekiah, and that he bent his shoulder for this heavy burden to pay harsh tribute, and the rod with which he had oppressed Hezekiah.
|have You broken: You broke them together in one night.
|like the day of Midian: in Gideon's time, for they, too, fell together in one night, and on the night of the harvest of the Omer, as it is said (Judges 7: 13): "And behold, a roasted cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian."
|4For every victory shout sounds with clamor, and garments wallow in blood, but this shall be burnt, consumed by fire.
|דכִּי כָל סְאוֹן סֹאֵן בְּרַעַשׁ וְשִׂמְלָה מְגוֹלָלָה בְדָמִים וְהָיְתָה לִשְׂרֵפָה מַאֲכֹלֶת אֵשׁ:
|For, every victory shout sounds with clamor: Heb. כִּי כָל-סְאוֹן סֹאֵן בְרַעַשׁ. Some (Machbereth Menachem, p. 125, who claims that the root is סא interpret this as an expression of a 'seah' and a measure, as our Rabbis expounded it (Sotah 8b, Tosefta 3:1, Mid. Psalms 91:2, [where the Rabbis interpret this passage to mean that a person is rewarded with the same measure he metes out to others]), but, according to the simple interpretation of the language of the Scriptures, it is impossible to explain it as an expression [of a 'seah,'] since the 'vav' and the 'nun' are not radicals but like שָׁאוֹן from שׁוֹאֶה, and הָמוֹן from הוֹמֶה, and חָרוֹן from חָרָה, this root will not assume a verb form with a 'nun' to say סוֹאֵן, but סוֹאֶה, just as from הָמוֹן, we say הוֹמֶה, and from שָׁאוֹן, שׁוֹאֶה, but one does not say: שׁוֹאֵן, הוֹמֵן, חוֹרֵן. I [therefore,] say that its interpretation is according to the context, and that it is hapax legomenon in Scripture. Its interpretation is an expression of a shout of victory in battle. [We, therefore, explain the words: סְאוֹן סֹאֵן בְרַעַשׁ כִּי כָל- as follows:] The sound of [var. every] victory of any victor in war, is with clamor; it is the galloping of horses and the striking of shields against each other. And the garments of those killed in battle wallowing in blood. But in this victory there is no clamor, and there is no blood.
|but this shall be burnt: He shall be burnt, consumed by fire.
|5For a child has been born to us, a son given to us, and the authority is upon his shoulder, and the wondrous adviser, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, called his name, "the prince of peace."
|הכִּי יֶלֶד יֻלַּד לָנוּ בֵּן נִתַּן לָנוּ וַתְּהִי הַמִּשְׂרָה עַל שִׁכְמוֹ וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ פֶּלֶא יוֹעֵץ אֵל גִּבּוֹר אֲבִי עַד שַׂר שָׁלוֹם:
|For a child has been born to us: Although Ahaz is wicked, his son who was born to him many years ago [nine years prior to his assuming the throne] to be our king in his stead, shall be a righteous man, and the authority of the Holy One, blessed be He, and His yoke shall be on his shoulder, for he shall engage in the Torah and observe the commandments, and he shall bend his shoulder to bear the burden of the Holy One, blessed be He.
|and… called his name: The Holy One, blessed be He, Who gives wondrous counsel, is a mighty God and an everlasting Father, called Hezekiah's name, "the prince of peace," since peace and truth will be in his days.
|6To him who increases the authority, and for peace without end, on David's throne and on his kingdom, to establish it and to support it with justice and with righteousness; from now and to eternity, the zeal of the Lord of Hosts shall accomplish this.
|ולְמַרְבֵּה (כתיב לְםַרְבֵּה) הַמִּשְׂרָה וּלְשָׁלוֹם אֵין קֵץ עַל כִּסֵּא דָוִד וְעַל מַמְלַכְתּוֹ לְהָכִין אֹתָהּ וּלְסַעֲדָהּ בְּמִשְׁפָּט וּבִצְדָקָה מֵעַתָּה וְעַד עוֹלָם קִנְאַת יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת תַּעֲשֶׂה זֹּאת:
|To him who increased the authority: To whom will He call this name? To the king who increases the authority of the Holy One, blessed be He, upon himself, to fear Him.
|authority: an expression of government. [This is to refute those who disagree with us [the Christians]. But it is possible to say that "Prince of Peace," too, is one of the names of the Holy One, blessed be He, and this calling of a name is not actually a name but an expression of (var. for the purpose of) greatness and authority. Comp. (Ruth 4:11) "And be famous (וּקְרָא שֵׁם) in Bethlehem. Also (II Sam. 7:9, I Chron. 17:8): " And I shall make for you a name." Here too, Scripture means, " And He gave him a name and authority."]
|and for peace: which is given to him, there will be no end, for he had peace on all his sides, and this "end" is not an expression of an end to eternity, but there will be no boundaries. On the throne of the kingdom of David shall this peace be justice and righteousness that Hezekiah performed.
|and for peace: Heb. וּלְשָׁלוֹם. This 'vav' is to rectify the word, thus: He [Hezekiah] increased the authority upon his shoulder, and what reward will He [God] pay him? Behold, his peace shall have no end or any limit.
|from now and to eternity: The eternity of Hezekiah, viz. all his days. And so we find that Hannah said concerning Samuel (I Sam. 1:22): "and abide there forever." And, in order to refute those who disagree [i.e., the Christians, who claim that this (Prince of Peace) is their deity], we can refute them [by asking], What is the meaning of: "from now" ? Is it not so that the "deity" did not come until after five hundred years and more?
|the zeal of the Lord of Hosts: Who was zealous for Zion concerning what Aram and Pekah planned about it.
|shall accomplish this: but Ahaz does not deserve it, moreover, the merit of the Patriarchs has terminated. [Addendum: And our Rabbis said: The Holy One, blessed be He, wished to make Hezekiah the Messiah and Sennacherib, Gog and Magog. Said the ministering angels before the Holy One, blessed be He, Should the one who stripped the doors of the Temple and sent them to the king of Assyria, be made Messiah? Immediately, Scripture closed it up.]
|7The Lord has sent a word against Jacob, and it has fallen in Israel.
|זדָּבָר שָׁלַח אֲדֹנָי בְּיַעֲקֹב וְנָפַל בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל:
|The Lord has sent a word against Jacob: [i.e.,] the prophecy that he prophesied concerning the punishment of Pekah son of Remaliah.
|and it has fallen in Israel: From now, it will be fulfilled concerning them.
|8And the entire people shall know- Ephraim and the dwellers of Samaria-[the fallacy of what they spoke] with haughtiness and with arrogance, saying,
|חוְיָדְעוּ הָעָם כֻּלּוֹ אֶפְרַיִם וְיוֹשֵׁב שֹׁמְרוֹן בְּגַאֲוָה וּבְגֹדֶל לֵבָב לֵאמֹר:
|with haughtiness and arrogance, saying: What they were saying with haughtiness and arrogance.
|9"Bricks have fallen, and hewn stones we will build; sycamores have been cut down, and we will replace them with cedars."
|טלְבֵנִים נָפָלוּ וְגָזִית נִבְנֶה שִׁקְמִים גֻּדָּעוּ וַאֲרָזִים נַחֲלִיף:
|Bricks have fallen, and hewn stones we will build: The kings we had before Pekah reigned, e.g., Jehoahaz son of Jehu, in whose days we were diminished, like the matter stated (II Kings 13:7): "For the king of Aram had destroyed them," were inferior, and they went away like a weak brick building that falls, but this one who is [king] now, is like a building of hewn stones, and similarly, cedars are superior to sycamores for construction.
|10And the Lord strengthened the adversaries of Rezin over him, and his enemies He shall incite.
|יוַיְשַׂגֵּב יְהֹוָה אֶת צָרֵי רְצִין עָלָיו וְאֶת אֹיְבָיו יְסַכְסֵךְ:
|And the Lord strengthened the adversaries of Rezin over him: They trust in their dependence on Rezin, king of Aram, and the Holy One, blessed be He, shall strengthen the king of Assyria over him and stir him up to incite him to come upon him. So I heard from my teachers, but I say that "His enemies" is said in reference to the Shechinah. The Holy One, blessed be He, shall incite His enemies [to war] with one another, one nation with another nation, Aram and the Philistines with Israel, and Israel among themselves, as it is stated below in this matter: "Manasseh with Ephraim…"
|11Aram from the east and the Philistines from the west, and they devoured Israel with every mouth; despite all this, His anger has not turned away, and His hand is still outstretched.
|יאאֲרָם מִקֶּדֶם וּפְלִשְׁתִּים מֵאָחוֹר וַיֹּאכְלוּ אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכָל פֶּה בְּכָל זֹאת לֹא שָׁב אַפּוֹ וְעוֹד יָדוֹ נְטוּיָה:
|Aram from the east: Aram harmed them from the east in the days of Jehoahaz and Joash, and the Philistines harmed them from the west, for the Philistines are west of them.
|despite all this… and His hand is still outstretched: until He brings Sennacherib upon them. Alternatively: Aram from the east and the Philistines from the west were wreaking destruction in Judah in the days of Ahaz, as is explained in Chronicles (II 28:18), and over Israel and Judah as well, Isaiah was lamenting because of these misfortunes.
|12And the people has not returned to the One Who smites it, and the Lord of Hosts they have not sought.
|יבוְהָעָם לֹא שָׁב עַד הַמַּכֵּהוּ וְאֶת יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת לֹא דָרָשׁוּ:
|to the One Who smites it: To the Holy One, blessed be He, Who brings these afflictions upon them.
|13And the Lord cut off from Israel a head and a tail, a large arch and a small arch in one day.
|יגוַיַּכְרֵת יְהֹוָה מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל רֹאשׁ וְזָנָב כִּפָּה וְאַגְמוֹן יוֹם אֶחָד:
|a large arch and a small arch: An expression denoting kings and sultans. כִּפָּה, arcum voltum, arvolt in O.F. [an arch] i.e., those who hover over them like an arch.
|a small arch: Heb. (אַגְמוֹן). This too is a small arch, and since it is bent over like a rush, (אַגְמוֹן), Scripture calls it אַגְמוֹן. And in the Baraitha of Samuel we find that there are constellations in the heavens, appointed to [influence the world], and these are their names. Here the prophet states that all their savants who prophesy for them and gaze at the stars, the Lord will cut off from them.
|14An elder and a man of esteem is the head, and a misleading prophet is the tail.
|ידזָקֵן וּנְשׂוּא פָנִים הוּא הָרֹאשׁ וְנָבִיא מוֹרֶה שֶׁקֶר הוּא הַזָּנָב:
|15And the leaders of this people mislead, and those led by them are misled.
|טווַיִּהְיוּ מְאַשְּׁרֵי הָעָם הַזֶּה מַתְעִים וּמְאֻשָּׁרָיו מְבֻלָּעִים:
|the leaders: Heb. מְאַשְׁרֵי, leaders. Comp. (Job 23:11) "On His steps (בַּאֲשֻׁרוֹ), my foot has held fast."
|and those led by them (lit. him): those who learned the ways of the false leaders. [Others read:] Those led in the way of the misleaders who lead them in these ways, confusing and perplexing ways, from which there is no way to emerge. The expression of מְבֻלָּעִים, misled or corrupt, applies to "ways," in the manner it is stated elsewhere (supra 3:12): "O my people! Your leaders lead you astray, and the way of your paths they have corrupted."
|16Therefore, over his youths, the Lord shall not rejoice, and on his orphans and his widows He shall not have mercy, for all of them are hypocrites and evil doers, and every mouth speaks obscene language; despite all this, His anger has not turned away, and His hand is still outstretched.
|טזעַל כֵּן עַל בַּחוּרָיו לֹא יִשְׂמַח | אֲדֹנָי וְאֶת יְתֹמָיו וְאֶת אַלְמְנֹתָיו לֹא יְרַחֵם כִּי כֻלּוֹ חָנֵף וּמֵרָע וְכָל פֶּה דֹּבֵר נְבָלָה בְּכָל זֹאת לֹא שָׁב אַפּוֹ וְעוֹד יָדוֹ נְטוּיָה:
|and evildoers: Wicked. Comp. (1: 4) "Evildoing seed."
|17For wickedness has burnt like fire, and thorns shall consume them, and it kindled in the thickets of the forest, and they have become entangled by the thickening smoke.
|יזכִּי בָעֲרָה כָאֵשׁ רִשְׁעָה שָׁמִיר וָשַׁיִת תֹּאכֵל וַתִּצַּת בְּסִבְכֵי הַיַּעַר וַיִּתְאַבְּכוּ גֵּאוּת עָשָׁן:
|For wickedness has burnt like fire: Their wickedness shall burn them and consume them like fire.
|worms and thorns: [i.e.,] their [worms and thorns] shall consume their rebels and their transgressors.
|and it kindled in the thickets of the forest: in the impoverished segment of the population."Thicket" refers to the branches.
|and they have become entangled by the thickening smoke.: They shall become entangled and hemmed in by the strength of the conflagration. Every expression of entanglement has only בך as its radical. Comp. (Job 28:11) "From the recesses (מִבְּכִי) of the rivers" ; (Psalms 94: 7) "The valley of entanglement (הַבָּכָא)." And the 'nun' appears in it sometimes, and here an 'aleph' appears in place of the 'nun,' like the 'aleph' of אִבְחַת, "the howling of the sword" (Ezekiel 21:20), and the 'aleph' of וְאַחְוָתִי, "And my speech in your ears" (Job 13: 17).
|18By the wrath of the Lord of Hosts, the smoke has reached the earth, and the people has become like a conflagration of fire; no one has pity on his fellow-man.
|יחבְּעֶבְרַת יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת נֶעְתַּם אָרֶץ וַיְהִי הָעָם כְּמַאֲכֹלֶת אֵשׁ אִישׁ אֶל אָחִיו לֹא יַחְמֹלוּ:
|the smoke has reached: Heb. נֶעְתַּם. Jonathan translates: The earth has become scorched. But I find it difficult to explain it in that manner, for it should state נֶעֶתְמָה [since אֶרֶץ is a feminine noun,] and since it is hapax legomenon in Scripture, appearing neither in the sense of the Targum nor any other sense, I explain it according to its context: By the wrath of the Holy One, blessed be He, this smoke reached the earth, and it is an expression that it was 'decreed' upon the earth or an expression of 'reaching' the earth.
|19And he snatched on the right and is still hungry, and he ate on the left and they are not sated; each one eats the flesh of his arm.
|יטוַיִּגְזֹר עַל יָמִין וְרָעֵב וַיֹּאכַל עַל שְׂמֹאל וְלֹא שָׂבֵעוּ אִישׁ בְּשַׂר זְרֹעוֹ יֹאכֵלוּ:
|And he snatched on the right: They will pillage and plunder one another on the right or on the left and it will not suffice them.
|each one… the flesh of his arm: Jonathan renders: each one plunders the possessions of his relative.
|20Manasseh with Ephraim, and Ephraim with Manasseh, together they shall [unite] against Judah; despite all this, His anger has not turned away, and His hand is still outstretched.
|כמְנַשֶּׁה אֶת אֶפְרַיִם וְאֶפְרַיִם אֶת מְנַשֶּׁה יַחְדָּו הֵמָּה עַל יְהוּדָה בְּכָל זֹאת לֹא שָׁב אַפּוֹ וְעוֹד יָדוֹ נְטוּיָה:
|Manasseh with Ephraim: Manasseh will join Ephraim.
|and Ephraim with Manasseh: With Manasseh, and together they will unite against Judah.

Godless Capitalism?When I was a kid growing up in the 1950s and 1960s American heartland and in an ultra-conservative church "godlesscommunism" was one word, not two. One of the worst things people in my religious context could say about someone was "communist" and that label covered a lot of territory.I remember when Lyndon Johnson won his election over Barry Goldwater. I went to school the next day and very publicly proclaimed Johnson "a communist." The teacher gave me a bemused look th … [Read more...]

Memories of Philippine Kitchens includes classic Filipino recipes like Barbecued Pork Skewers (Satay), Chicken Adobo, Lumpia Shanghai, Pineapple Sweet and Sour Sauce, and Peanut Sauce.
Serves 4 to 6 (makes about 15 skewers)
Barbecued pork skewers always bring back memories of New Year's Eve celebrations with my Besa cousins, children of Gaudencio (Tatay Ocho) and Pacencia (Tita Pat) Besa. No feast was complete unless it had Tita Pat's caramelized pork barbecue and her chicken macaroni salad to go with it.
1. Combine the garlic and shallot in a food processor and process until a paste forms. Place in a large bowl, add the soy sauce, rice wine, and sugar and stir to combine. Add the pork, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight.
2. Preheat the broiler or fire up the grill. Take the pork from the marinade and place it in a clean bowl. Reserve the marinade. Add the oil to the pork, stir, then thread the pork onto skewers, 5 or 6 pieces per skewer. Grill or broil for about 5 minutes on each side, basting with the marinade, until the pork pieces carmelize.
3. Serve with Peanut Sauce.

Saudi Gazette report
Riyadh — Troops have started arriving for the largest and most important military maneuver in the history of the region called "Ra'ad Al-Shamal" (North Thunder).
The military drill will be carried out at King Khaled Military City in Hafr Al-Batin, northern Kingdom.
Some 20 Arab, Islamic and friendly countries, in addition to the Peninsula Shield Force, are taking part in the exercise.
The countries are: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Bahrain, Senegal, Sudan, Kuwait, Maldives, Morocco, Pakistan, Chad, Tunisia, Comoros, Djibouti, Oman, Qatar, Malaysia, Egypt, Mauritania, Mauritius, in addition to the Peninsula Shield force.
The exercise aims to enhance fighting abilities, increase coordination between countries participating in the exercise and facilitate the exchange of information and experience, Brig. Gen. Ahmed Al-Asiri, adviser at the office of minister of defense, was quoted as saying last week.


text: Good to know for future reference. I noticed they are mixing it up using both Seagate and WD. Is it limited to one or the other? I like to be sure I provide facts, and not just what is reported by others, and appreciate that you didn't flog me for not knowing they have started using them. Really, I do. When the TiVo HD originally came out they used SATA1, then went to SATA2 (I bought two of the first batch made and two of the last ever made). The Premieres came with SATA2 from the start, and I can attest that the TiVo HD & Premiere both emulate IDE ATA133, regardless of the drive (if you know when to watch the logs, and where to look, it is logged what modes the TiVo sets, as well as the block sizes). As for the Roamio, I have it from a reliable source, that it appears TiVo still hasn't found it necessary to change this, but nothing concrete on if they've moved beyond IDE ATA133 emulation, as the mode the TiVo sets. I'm not in-the-know enough to know how hard, or easy, it would be for them to change it. I figure if it's hard, and they don't need to, they won't do it. I'd love to hear from somebody who can shed any light on this (if TiVo has changed the mode/emulation). I'm pretty sure it's purely a matter of what they can get (due to availability/supply/pre-allocation) and at what price, at the time. I used to work for a system builder, so I know how the game works, with drives that are in high demand (even if all that demand is one giant company). I wouldn't be surprised if they install SATA2 drives in on Tuesdays, and SATA3 on Wednesdays, etc. Anyway, the takeaway from all this, that matters, is that nobody should expect any performance gain, in a Roamio, by using SATA3, nor should they expect any loss of performance by using SATA2. No worries about using either.

The debate rages on over where to bury Richard III, recently discovered in a Leicester car park.
"Leicester certainly deserves it for all the heroic work in finding him," says historian David Horspool, who has been commissioned by Bloomsbury to write a book about Richard's enduring reputation. "But there's a good argument for Westminster Abbey and not just because the Princes in the Tower are buried there (if those bones are theirs). Richard's wife, Anne Neville, is interred there too and it does seem to be agreed that, like his brother, Richard married at least in part for love.
"Richard's reputation hasn't been all one way over the years, for all Shakespeare's sway," adds Horspool, history editor of the Times Literary Supplement. "In the 18th century, a painting showing him as severely deformed was painted over to reduce the impairment."
There is praise for Richard from Laurence Olivier's son Tarquin, too. "Larry would have been thrilled," he says. "He always felt Shakespeare vilified the Plantagenets so as to please the Tudor Elizabethan court."

Classic old school checker & chess set. Great for introducing the games to my 7 yr old.

This is definitely overpriced for what it is. It seems the retail price is overstated.. . I would not have ordered this set had I know how cheaply constructed it was. . .the board is an unlaminated piece of cardboard, very small. The pieces are cheap and we, too, seem to be missing a checker from the set. If it wasn't such a hassle to return this would be going back.

Bought this for my 5 year old who was interested in learning Checkers and Chess. It's a low priced set and it is mostly fine for a 5 year old.Positively:-Works just fine for a child who wants to learn-InexpensiveThe biggest complaints were as follows:-Came missing a checker-The board was not completely flat-The chess pieces were a little small

If you can get past the smell of the checkers and checker board, the product would be ok. Maybe it needs to be checked for chemicals.

The United Way of Greater New Haven has honored former Law School dean Guido Calabresi and his wife, Anne Calabresi, with the Herbert H. Pearce Award as "community champions for justice, equality and benevolence."
The couple received the award at the United Way's annual Leadership Circle and Alexis de Tocqueville Society reception on Oct. 14 at the Thomas E. Golden Jr. Center at Saint Thomas More.
The Calabresi's have been supportive of numerous non-profit efforts across the region.
Guido Calabresi, Sterling Professor Emeritus of Law and Professorial Lecturer in Law, emigrated to New Haven from Milan, Italy, with his family in 1939. He earned his B.A. and LL.B. degrees from Yale in 1953 and 1958, respectively, and an M.A. in 1959 from Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He joined the Yale Law School faculty in 1959 and later served as dean of the school. In 1994, he was nominated by President Bill Clinton and appointed to serve as senior judge for the United States Court of Appeals, 2nd Circuit. He has been awarded over 40 honorary degrees from universities around the world and is a member of numerous honorary groups and boards of directors, including the Royal Swedish Academy of Science and the American Society of the Italian Legions of Merit.
Anne Calabresi is the co-founder of Leadership, Education and Athletics in Partnership (LEAP) and the international Festival of Arts and Ideas. LEAP brings together talented college students and young children in mentoring relationships focused on academics and athletics. The Festival of Arts and Ideas is rooted in Calabresi's vision to enhance New Haven's reputation as a major artistic and cultural center. The two-week festival brings together artists, actors and musicians from around the world to entertain, share ideas and celebrate the world's diversity.
The annual Alexis de Tocqueville award, the highest honor that a local United Way can bestow, is presented to an individual or couple who embodies the American spirit of giving and volunteerism as witnessed by French philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville as he traveled as a young man throughout the United States in the 1800s.
The United Way of Greater New Haven helps to improve the social and civic health of the community and engages donors, organizations, and community leaders and volunteers in that effort (see related story). It identifies specific community needs and opportunities for change focusing on the areas of education, health and families' financial stability.

North Carolina will host a rematch with No. 15 Maryland Saturday, after falling to the Terrapins by a slight margin in the teams' last dual meet.
The Tar Heels (5-2) totaled a 194.425 to Maryland's 195.300 as the two teams faced off in College Park Jan. 26. Carolina put up a strong performance, coming from behind to top the Terrapins (4-0-1) on balance beam and floor exercise, but could not quite overpower Maryland.
"We just weren't as sharp the first two events," said head coach Derek Galvin. "But we got together as a team and talked about what we needed to do in the last two events. It is kind of like the halftime."
"What I expect to see from our team, again, is performances that display more confidence," Galvin added. "They've been showing that in each meet, but they're really ready right now to put together a complete meet."
Landing first place in the all-around at the last meet, captain and senior Elizabeth Durkac grabbed East Atlantic Gymnastics League Gymnast of the Week honors for the second week in a row. Despite troublesome ankles that have kept her number of repetitions in practice lower than usual, Durkac hopes to continue her streak.
"We've had to go lighter in her training the past two weeks because her ankles are very tender," said Galvin. "But fortunately, her skill execution is so good that not doing as many repetitions in practice is not hurting her."
Durkac and the rest of the Tar Heels, excited to be back in their own gym Saturday, will be looking to even the record against Maryland this season. The meet will begin at 5 p.m. and is free for the general public.

Nominations Being Accepted For Second Annual Project Front Yard Awards
An awards ceremony, hosted by IberiaBank, will be held on September 30.
An awards ceremony, hosted by IberiaBank, will be held on September 30.
Get ready, Team Breezy! Chris Brown has just been added to the superstar lineup set to perform at this year's Billboard Music Awards.
The 2012 Oscars was Emma Stone's first time presenting an award and she was super excited. (We're letting you know just in case you didn't already get that from her bit.) You know who wasn't revved up at all, though? Her co-presenter Ben Stiller.
The Grammys are a night of celebration, dedicated to the spirit of coming together to honor major artistic and commercial success — but for Lil Wayne fans, last night's ceremony was a cause for concern, due to rumors that he was going to be arrested on gun charges after his performance with Chris Brown, David Guetta, Foo Fighters and deadmau5. But fear not, Wayniacs: It was all a false alarm, and His Lilness is still a free man.
Houston, we may have a problem. It appears that Whitney Houston had a rough night after leaving a Grammy event in Los Angeles on Thursday (Feb. 9). The R&B diva was photographed exiting the function reportedly drunk and bloodied. WTF?
With the recent passing of Etta James, it's only appropriate that the Recording Academy will pay homage to the late R&B icon with a live performance at the 2012 Grammys. It has now been confirmed that Alicia Keys is the songstress who will perform a tribute to Miss Peaches at the show on Feb. 12.
Rihanna contributed vocals to Coldplay's song 'Princess of China' on 'Mylo Xyloto.' While it's quite possible that RiRi, Chris Martin and co. were never in the same room when she laid down her vocals, thanks to the wonders of technology, they will get on the same stage this February, when they perform together for the first time at the Grammys.
What could possibly make this year's VMAs better for Lil Wayne fans? Well, not only is the rapper going to be performing during the ceremony, but he also announced that he will release 'Tha Carter IV' to all digital retailers, including iTunes and Amazon, at midnight following the VMAs, which will air this Sunday on MTV.

Box Score (PDF)
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Senior right-handed pitcher Chase Mallard and sophomore right-handed pitcher Cory Eller combined for a one-hitter to lead the UAB baseball team to a 4-0 victory against Youngstown State on Saturday afternoon at Regions Field. With the victory, UAB head coach Brian Shoop collected his 900th win of his coaching career.
"You know it is a longevity thing," said Shoop. "It means you have been coaching for a long time. It means you have had really good players. It means you have really good assistant coaches. I probably get too much credit for the wins. Wins are a team and program award, not an individual award. I'm very aware of that."
For the second straight start, Mallard was dominant on the mound. Dating back to last spring, Mallard went 16 consecutive innings without surrendering a hit. The Cullman, Ala. native also struck out nine while only walking one in 7.1 innings of service.
"Wow, to start off the year with 14 consecutive no-hit innings," added Shoop. "Mallard was fantastic."
Eller kept the one-hitter intact, pitching the final 1.2 innings. The Niceville, Fla. native struck out one and did not allow a batter to reach base against Youngstown State (0-2, 0-0).
Senior designated hitter Ryan Prinzing led UAB (7-0, 0-0) with two RBI on the day. Redshirt junior infielder Matt Morse and redshirt sophomore outfielder Griffin Gum each knocked in a run, as well.
The Blazers broke through early, scoring one run in the first inning. Prinzing singled through the left side of the infield to plate junior outfielder Chase Davis, giving UAB a 1-0 lead.
In the fifth inning, UAB struck again. Prinzing hit an RBI single up the middle, scoring sophomore infielder Adam Smith. Gum then hit a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Davis, and pushing the home team ahead 3-0.
One inning later, the squad put the final run of the day on the scoreboard. Morse hit an RBI single to plate redshirt junior catcher Tyler Mims for the fourth run against the Penguins.
UAB and Youngstown State will play the final game of their three-game series on Sunday afternoon at Regions Field. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.
Notes: UAB head coach Brian Shoop notched his 900th win of coaching career on Saturday afternoon … Senior right-handed pitcher Chase Mallard went 16 consecutive innings without surrendering a hit … For the second consecutive start, Mallard combined for a one-hitter … Senior designated hitter Ryan Prinzing matched his season-best with two RBI against Youngstown State … Redshirt sophomore outfielder Griffin Gum has recorded an RBI in each of the past five games.

If I Haven't Heard It, It's New To Me
The 20th-century is still yielding riches the likes of which we've never seen before. Forget, for a moment (if possible), the earthquakes of Igor Stravinsky and Arnold Schoenberg, and consider the enormous wealth hidden in pages by composers that are rarely, if ever, programmed today. Some of these composers are worthy of much more attention and respect than is accorded them, and it is only the fickle whims and follies of history that have relegated them to a back-seat position.
Consider, for example, the case of Franz Schreker, whose utterly tragic life story did not prevent him from creating some of the finest music ever conceived. Today we hear the Vorspiel to his opera Die Gezeichneten. Kurt Atterberg similarly created a body of works that by any standard should be enduring and well loved, but whose members are mysteriously absent from symphony programs today. His Symphony No. 8 is a perfect example.
Finally, we'll hear from a rather famous man who wrote music that languishes largely unheard. Perhaps, as Richard Wagner warned him, it lacks some of the transcendent craft of his more famous counterparts, but remains a fascinating curiosity of music history. Believe it or not, Friedrich Nietzsche had tall aspirations as a composer, and his Manfred-Fantasie for piano four-hands remains as an attempt to encapsulate the notion of the Ubermensch in purely tonal terms.
Nietzsche! Can you believe it? We think you'll find something today that you haven't heard before, but is well worth hearing.

Cocktail Culture – the demise of the dinner party
The New York Times published this article today regarding the demise of the dinner party and in the same breath the demise of good manners. I would hope that the dinner party isn't going to way of the hand written note and men holding the door for women. But as we know I'm old fashioned.
I think a lot of people get caught up in the idea that a dinner party has to be a five course extravaganza that includes great expense and clean-up. In an Internet and all about me world this is a common misconception that feeds into many women and mom's thinking they have to be "perfect". Perfect is not being June Cleaver. Perfect is being a good host, sharing a meal with your friends or family and feeling good about yourself when it is over. My belief is you can still entertain in a traditional way even in times like these. People will appreciate the salad and entree you provided. And even more importantly, they will appreciate you, your family and your kids.
The famous New York hostess Nan Kempner used to have famous Sunday Suppers that included spaghetti with red sauce she cooked herself. The entree of spaghetti was her signature. Uber chic, right?
So find a signature dish that is yours. It doesn't have to be something you thought up. It can be your favorite dish or the favorite of your spouse. Get good at it, tweak it, make it your own. And then cook the hell out of it, add a salad and wine and you are good to go.
Personally, I always enjoyed the Basil Chicken Hash from Barefoot Contessa. I've blogged the recipe in the past but it translates to most people's tastes. I served a salmon dip and salad with it. That's it. No big deal. The entree makes a lot of food, tastes great and every one is happy. Plus, how chic is it that the recipe is a take on the chicken hash served at Truman Capote's Black and White Ball?
My friends complain that they never get to go anywhere because of their kids. I always repeat the stories of my parents having dinner parties at home after we went to bed. These parties occurred specifically so they could have a social life without us. Smart thinking. Good time management. No baby-sitter needed.
You can still entertain at home and it not be a burden. You can use the china and the crystal on a weeknight if you want too. And even if you are still wearing jeans and a sweater when your guests arrive, nothing is chicer than having a wonderful time in your own home after NOT sweating in the kitchen.
5 Responses to "Cocktail Culture – the demise of the dinner party"
I totally agree with you here! I'm actually trying to bring dinner parties back to our life. In London, apartments are tiny and space is limited. Because of that, I've had to get creative with how I would host people, but it's better than not hosting at all. Also, I recently attended a large dinner party for Thanksgiving – it was pot luck… There's really no excuse not to host people at your home if you enjoy it… I've even served my guests small finger foods and had them sitting all over the place, but it's always fun and they're always happy when they leave. x
if I could do one thing in time it would be to attend that B&W Capote ball. my heart flutters just thinking about it.
even though I'm in a small apt currently, JM and I have hosted a handful of dinner parties. last year for his birthday, he made a roast leg of lamb and I made a homemade cheesecake – then we filled in with a simple salad and side dish. it's really such a joy to come together with friends, break bread together, and it's a different feeling entirely than going out to dinner.
when we buy a home we know we want a LARGE dining area and a very "social" kitchen – an island with stools and room for the both of us to whip up dishes for our friends and family.
I love Ina Garten's take on the dinner party. I'm lucky that Mr. often wants to grill when we have guests, so I don't have to do much of the cooking. Chicken Parm is the go-to meal if I'm going to cook.
We have a tiny place. So if we have a dinner party, it'll just be a handful of people. We always serve pretty homey dishes like "Sunday Gravy", braised short ribs with salad and veggies.
What we've started doing is offering to cook at our friends houses. Our Friendsgiving was the most recent event.
I am so with you here – I love to have people over. One night, since M got injured, my parents brought us dinner from Maggianos. That included 3 diff pastas to share, a salad, a couple loaves of bread, and I provided beverages and made a table with some of our new wedding china and silver. It was perfect. I don't know why people fuss over this stuff!

At 6-foot-2, 228-pounds, Smith is considered as somewhat of a tweener, being too undersized to play on the d-line in the NFL, but with no experience at any linebacker position.
Even so, Smith projects as an outside linebacker with Philadelphia because of his speed and athleticism. He was among the top performers in many events at the Scouting Combine, posting a 32.5-inch vertical leap, a 10-foot broad jump and running the 20-yard shuttle in 4.40 seconds.
Although he is coming from a small school and weaker competition, Smith dominated in DI-AA and was a two-time All-American and Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Year. He should fit in well with the Eagles defense, as Jim Johnson gets another explosive pass rusher to add to his blitz schemes.

Three for Toopi as Kiwis stun Kangaroos
Page Tools
New Zealand 38 Australia 28
Clinton Toopi scored a hat-trick as New Zealand beat Australia 38-28 tonight's Tri-Nations rugby league match at Telstra Stadium in Sydney.
Toopi scored the match-winner with just minutes left on the clock.
Stacey Jones kicked the conversion to cap a perfect night with the boot.
The teams were locked at 18-all at half time.
In a free flowing opening stanza, the Kangaroos scored four tries in the final nine minutes before the break to reel in a Kiwi side which had stunned the Australians by racing to an 18-0 lead in as many minutes.
Toopi scored a double in the first eleven minutes to give the Kiwis a surprising 12-0 lead before the Australians were twice denied four-pointers with both Trent Waterhouse and Ben Kennedy dropping the ball short of the line.
Brent Webb had the Australians well and truly on the back foot when he scored in the 18th minute, with the fullback taking advantage of Waterhouse's inexperience in the centres, where he had to play after winger Timana Tahu was forced from the field with a hamstring injury.
A decision by English referee Steve Ganson not to penalise Waterhouse for coming from an offside position to tackle winger Jake Webster proved crucial, with the backrower-cum-centre denying the Kiwi winger a near certain try in the 26th minute.
The call changed the momentum of the match, with the Kangaroos scoring tries in the 31st, 34th, 37th and 39th minutes to get back in the contest.
Brent Tate scored his first when he ran 80 metres to get Australia on the board, with the Brisbane centre brushing off the chasing Roy Asotasi and Webb with big fends to go over out wide.
Halfback Andrew Johns scored Australia's second from close range soon after, and the Kangaroos were well and truly rolling when Mark Gasnier scored just inside the corner post, with the Kiwis a little unlucky as it appeared the centre had gone into touch.
Tate then scored his second following a brilliant piece of play which saw the ball go through several sets of hands in an 80 metre movement which was brought to an end just short of the line.
From there Johns cleverly got away an overhead pass to put Tate over.

Mumbai: If one starts to thing of the difference between the way Vidya looks in the film No One Killed Jessica and her looks in the movie Ishqiya, one can say the super star could even be mistaken for someone else. Opposed to her latest role in the drama No One Killed Jessica, in her other film the actress was quite the sexy siren.
Many of the critics, as well as the audience was more than surprise to see the way in which the actress switches from one mood to another, the way in which she shares her emotions and changes various looks is specific to a pro.
In the film No One Killled Jessica, the character played by the B-town actress was inspired by the sister of the murdered model, who always fought for the case of her dead sister. To play this part as best as she could, the actress confessed that she used to wear loose and ill fitting shirts.
The incontestable fact is that Vidya Balan is a quality actress who can play any role handed to her.

Pioneer Cellular will serve as the title sponsor of the tournament for the first time, continuing its strong support of Northwestern and the President's Association.
"Pioneer has been actively involved in supporting Northwestern, our students and the Golf Classic," Cunningham said. "We're thrilled to have them as corporate partners."
About 100 golfers are expected to participate in the tournament, which features a four-person scramble format.
Entry fees are $350 per four-person team, and will include green fees, use of a golf cart and lunch. President's Association members who pledge at the $1,000 or $500 levels will automatically receive up to two complimentary individual entries.

The Google researcher has pointed out that without an actual exploit in the wild, Microsoft is not going to move quickly to stop a rather nasty exploit and instead will just add it to the list.

There is now an alternative to purchasing high end audio recording and mixing equipment for those who cannot afford the steep entry price of the high end components.

LTC Policies
This is where you will find our world's best practice policies, the FPMT international policies, and general precepts we ask all our members to abide by. The five Buddhist precepts are the basis of ethics in all FPMT centers. The FPMT Handbook states: For the centers to offer a Dharma environment depends on each member of the community emphasizing Dharma in their own life. To facilitate this all those visiting or living in a center, while in the center are required to live within the basic five precepts. The five precepts are not to kill, steal, indulge in sexual misconduct, lie or take intoxicants (includes alcohol, narcotics and cigarettes).
