The Real Housewives of Miami Recap: The Dinner Party From Hell…Miami Style!
November 11, 2012 10:18 PM by Shayla Perry
Forget about Beverly Hills and the trouble-making medium. Tonight on Bravo, the ladies of FL are about to show everyone how dinner parties are done when things get heated (yes, again!) between Joanna Krupa and Adriana De Moura. What did you miss on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Miami?
Tonight on RHOM….
Karent, Lisa, and Joanna are all at a charity beach volleyball event that Joanna's playing in to help build wells in Africa. Surprisingly, she's not too shabby on the court, and of course, they're not done talking about the drama with Adriana, and how it's effecting Joanna's relationship with Roman.
Joanna gets goosebumps when Roman actually shows up to the event, which he says she didn't "deserve." What's his beef? He's not happy about the way she handled the situation with Adriana and how embarrassing it was for her to behave the way she did. He's willing to accept that people "f–k up," but makes her promise that if they're out together, she won't drink.
Meanwhile, it's all tears with Ana as she packs up her office and prepares to leave after 20 years practicing with her soon-to-be ex. Robert seems to be taking it pretty well though. The shot of alcohol that she thinks will help her get through it doesn't quite do the trick either. We're not sure what's worse — the fact that she said that the alcohol tasted like "raccoon piss," or that she claims to know what raccoon piss actually tastes like. How disturbing!
After a difficult conversation between Lisa and Karent about fertility issues, Lea Black gets some bad news about her dog. After many nights at the animal hospital, the vet says that little Leroy isn't getting any better, so Lea rushes off to be with him. Sadly, right before she gets there, he passes away.
Perhaps the most awkwardly hilarious scene of the episode (yes, even more than the dinner party) was Lisa taking her housekeeper to her husband, thinking that they're giving her the gift of a lifetime — plastic surgery. Except, when Lisa's husband is interviewing Daisy, they find out that she's had a boob lift, and liposuction (twice!). Damn Daisy! Someone knows what she's doing — work for the right people, and you'll get taken care of! After having her employers BOTH look her over as she's sitting topless in the exam room, Daisy decides that she might as well ask about getting a little Botox, too.
Scratch that… It was probably more awkward seeing Lea screaming for her housekeeper, who was sitting quietly reading the Bible. Finally, Lea walks into the housekeeper's room, takes the Bible and turns it over, telling her that when she calls her, she needs to answer. And what was so pressing? Lea wanted to talk to her about planning a memorial for the dog. Maybe Fredita should take a few lessons from Daisy.
At Leroy's "home-going," which certainly wasn't a Phaedra Parks affair, Lea tells Freda to say something about Leroy. Maybe it would've been a little more heartfelt and poetic if she'd been able to read her Bible for a few more minutes.
Later, Alexia invites all of the ladies to her house to talk. Trouble!
Not long after everyone arrives, the host herself is starting stuff! When Joanna walks in, Adriana says that the mood in the room changed. Quite loudly, we might add. Then Alexia proceeds to pretend to put holy water on Adriana and Marysol. Keepin' it classy.
Then, as they sit to eat, Marysol starts in on Karent about that interview, which somehow turns into another discussion about the fight between Joanna and Adriana.
For a minute, the two make nice and accept one another's apologies, but we know that doesn't last long.
And if that wasn't enough, the ladies have the nerve to take their drama to someone else's dinner party on Thursday night's episode! You just can't miss that one, but if you do, you know where to get all the dish!

Anand Tucker and Rachel Griffiths Tell All About "Hilary and Jackie"
By Stephen Garrett
Among the last movies released in the bumper crop of Oscar-qualifying
year-end deliveries was October Films' "Hilary and Jackie," opening
wider today, the true story of two sisters, one of whom is the
world-famous cellist Jacqueline Du Pre, who slowly lost her ability to
play music from a crippling case of multiple sclerosis that eventually
took her life in the mid-1980s. Emily Watson plays the wild, needy, and
volcanic Jackie, while Australian actress Rachel Griffiths plays the
mousy wallflower Hilary in director Anand Tucker's emotional symphony of
sibling rivalry and tortured heartbreak, based on the book "A Genius in
the Family," by Hilary and Piers du Pre. indieWIRE caught up with both
Tucker and Griffiths in-between screenings at the Toronto Film Festival
last Fall to chat about the film's unique story structure, and elegant
dance between performance and camerawork.
indieWIRE: Let's start by talking about your performance, Rachel.
Rachel Griffiths: [Pointing at Tucker] Yeah, well, ask him about it!
[everyone laughs].
iW: Anand, in terms of directing Rachel with Emily Watson, it must be a
challenge to coach a quiet performance from Rachel that won't get
overwhelmed by someone as flamboyant as Emily's character.
Anand Tucker: Well, to be honest, the emotional heart of the movie, the
kind of center of the movie, is Rachel. Emily gets to be mad, sad,
crazy, wild; but if she didn't have this incredible central power from
Rachel holding the film together, the whole thing would fall to pieces.
[To Rachel] And if you don't mind my saying, Rachel, what you do have is
an amazing power -- there's an incredible strength to your acting.
iW: There's a real gravity to what you bring to the film, Rachel. How
did you prepare for that sort of role?There's a real gravity to what you bring to the film, Rachel. How
did you prepare for that sort of role?
Griffiths: Well, I don't really do a lot of gymnastics -- my approach to
anything is to just completely understand why people do what they do and
to kind of not judge that. Although I might have, as a modern young
woman, said, "How did this woman throw away her musical career and get
bogged down with having kids and put up with her nightmare sister?",
that's not going to get me anywhere.
So you just kind of open your heart to the notion of love and look
around you at complex families that you know, or intense sibling
relationships that you've experienced, which I had, and you just make it
more and more familiar and real and personal, so nothing is like an idea
-- it's all emotional. We never sat down and intellectualized. Emily
and I never sat down and said, "Well, I'll do this and you do that." We
just seemed to all come at it with this, just, head-turned-off,
heart-open, and played our needs. We all just played our positions.
And both Emily and I were aware that Anand's great gift as a director is
his ability to shift subjectivity, and it's a non-judgmental film. It's
basically saying that we all struggle the best we can -- families are
very, very complex. We do the best we can given the knowledge we have
and the sort of person we are. I like to think that this film is about
what happens when someone takes up more room in the family, either
through extraordinary ability, through disability, or through some kind
of psychological fragility. And when that happens in a family, it
changes the family, that family is a different kind of beast because
there is this element that has more needs. And that's not necessarily to
the family's disadvantage -- the family just is what it is. It's the
whole of the sum of its parts.
iW: And the film's storytelling strength comes from the sum of its
subjective parts -- by seeing multiple point-of-views, the audience
gains a greater sense of objectivity about the family. Anand, at what
point in the film's production was that decision made?
Tucker: It was completely a script decision -- and it wasn't my idea; it
was screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce's. We spent a year doing research
and talking to Hilary Du Pre and loads of people who knew Hilary and
Jackie, and we talked and talked about how to make this film. And we
were both trying to make a film from the heart. And Frank finally said,
"Why don't we just show what it feels like to be Hilary, and then show
what it feels like to be Jackie?" And that's what it's like in
Griffiths: And no one ever remembers the hurt they cause -- they only
remember the hurt they feel.
Tucker: So it was completely not an intellectual decision or anything
like that. It was a feeling decision. Someone said to me that the film
is a melodrama, and I thought, "fantastic." Because melodramas are
about trying to reach a bigger truth about emotions. But going back to
Rachel -- frankly she would know what was right or wrong on set, and if
things weren't working, I would take my lead from Rachel's instincts.
We trusted each other, didn't we? Because half the time, I didn't know
what the fuck was right or wrong. And sometimes they didn't know, and
together we would figure it out.
Griffiths: And Anand is "Mr. One-take," and I realized that Emily and I
are both kind of one-takers, but at the time we would say, "Should we do
another, just for the hell of it?" And we would, and then Anand would
say, "That's it! Let's move on." And Emily and I used to have secret
conversations -- "What's with this one-take business? Has he got no
standards? Or are we geniuses?"
iW: [Laughs] But that way you and Emily bonded, though, right?
Griffiths: We did! We did. But when we knew there wasn't something
there, Anand would make us articulate what we were trying to hit in the
scene, which is sometimes incredibly subtle stuff.
Tucker: But I love chaos. And we didn't rehearse before production --
Griffiths: Yeah. We were bad on rehearsals.
Tucker: But that's good!
Griffiths: And Emily got trained on Lars Von Trier's films, so she was
horrified to discover that you ever had to hit a mark as an actor! She
thought you'd do a film with an actor, and this film crew would run
after you. "What? I have to stand on a mark? But you follow me
around!" She was fucked. Completely. I mean, it's amazing that given
we didn't rehearse, there is such a control in the camera.
Tucker: Oh, no, no -- but this is the key to it. I think that if you
cast it right, if the people are essentially being themselves, then
there is a truth in there. And if you trust that, it'll happen. And
the job of the technical team is to make the camera dance with that.
iW: And one of the most impressive aspects of the film was the
camerawork -- I mean, that camera moved around a lot. To block those
scenes must have been a real challenge. And visually there were some
very expressionistic shots.
Tucker: Well, we had a plan -- everything was storyboarded, but you
have to be prepared to chuck it out the window when you get there.
iW: And your previous film, "Saint-Ex," is just as beautifully shot and
as expressionistic.
Tucker: I think I threw the kitchen sink at it a bit [laughs]. I was
trying too hard, you know. But I remember Bruno Ganz [the star of
"Saint-Ex"] saying to me, "You make me feel like a butterfly! You pin
me to the wall!" And he wasn't used to that at all -- he used to say,
"Oh, Wim [Wenders] and I -- "[everyone laughs] "Oh, way back with Wim!"
iW: Yeah, and I bet Emily pulled that stuff, too!
Griffiths: Yeah, she did! "Von Trier and me!" [Laughs] She kind of
championed me on this film, which made me adore her for the rest of my
life. And I was such a fan of her in "Breaking the Waves." But I think
Emily really needs to do a comedy just so that she can really find out
that filmmaking can be fun.
Tucker: But the production was really punishing -- six-day weeks for
eight weeks. But we made the movie the way we wanted to make it. And it
was like making three different films, including the film with the kids,
the film about Hilary, and the film about Jackie. And sometimes none of
these people met -- it was weird.
iW: Rachel, did you ever meet Hilary before finishing the movie?
Griffiths: No. And definitely not to prepare for the role, either.
And I knew I was right not to meet her when in the movie we were sitting
down to dinner and David Morrissey complained about the chicken being
served since, in real life, his character Kiffer Finzi was a
vegetarian. I just thought, "Oh, fucking eat your chicken!" [Laughs]
And I was so glad I wasn't bogged down with the particular details.
Tucker: But after Hilary du Pre had seen the film, she called David and
said to him, "You know, Kiffer, you were David, completely. But there's
only one thing -- one thing! -- you didn't get right. Kiffer doesn't
have a hairy back." [Everyone laughs].
Griffiths: He should have waxed!
iW: He should have waxed.
Griffiths: Did she say there was anything I didn't get right?
Tucker: No -- she though you were perfect.
Griffiths: Yeah, well, she's better looking and her tits are bigger --
what's she got to complain about? [laughs]. But I came to this film
completely ignorant about Hilary and Jackie du Pre. And when I heard
about the picture, I thought, "ugh, a bio-pic about a cellist who gets
M.S. Who cares?" I thought it was a movie-of-the-week; why do it? And
then I read the script and realized that the story does have this
extraordinary resonance.

By using Eco-friendly household furniture you make an announcement, one which informs your family as well as your buddies that you care about the planet; the one which leads to questionable believed amongst standard companies, making them modify their manufacturing techniques. You can use all types of Eco-friendly furniture styles, from the Eco-friendly willow furniture or twig furniture, to those styles that may look more traditional in appearance. The thing is that you apply Eco-friendly furnishings through your home, demonstrating your fascination with saving the surroundings.
Eco-Friendly Furniture Defined
Before you can determine whether a piece is really Eco-friendly or not you have to know what is meant by the term, Eco-friendly furnishings. This type of furniture meets one primary requirement, the materials used in manufacturing them doesn't harm the environment as much as other manufacturing processes. Eco-friendly furniture preserves natural resources, does not require as much energy to manufacture and releases fewer toxins into the air and water. These are: -
- Made with non-toxic materials.
- Manufactured using processes that offer minimal resource waste.
- Long-lasting.
- They can be made with recyclable materials.
- Options include those that are manufactured from recycled or reclaimed materials
- They can be made from sustainably harvested or grown materials.
How to Get the Warmth of Wood While Remaining Eco-friendly
Finding Eco-friendly furniture is easy, but when you want the look and warmth of wood in your home, then finding environmentally friendly alternatives can be a little more challenging. Especially, because most wood production is not Eco-friendly and uses tree resources inefficiently and unnecessarily.
A viable solution to using traditional wood pieces might be to consider items such as twig tables, willow tables or any other willow twig type of furniture. Furniture made from these materials gives you the warmth of wood, but the raw materials used in making these items grows quickly or offers no real harm to the growing trees. Most people assume twig or willow furniture to be too outdoorsy. It is certainly true, that willow tables, twig chairs, and twig tables make wonderful outdoor decor options, but there are also many current Eco-friendly designs made for interiors.
Bottom Line
Many Eco-friendly manufacturers offer styles made from a combination of re-purposed materials. They may combine high-tech recycled items with other Eco-friendly materials such as twig, willow or alternative woods. The purpose is to give you the comfort you are accustomed to, but also to add interesting style features that bring out the unique design elements Eco-friendly furniture is known for.

'Singing Priest' vows to donate any earnings to the church
The priest whose personal rendition of Leonard Cohan's 'Hallelujah' at a wedding in Meath has become an internet sensation has vowed to give any money he makes from the footage straight back to the church.
Father Ray Kelly took the mic at the wedding of Chris and Leah O'Kane but instead of closing the ceremony as planned, the priest unleashed a big surprise for the couple that has become wedding video sensation.
A backing track mysteriously begins before Fr Kelly launches into a rewritten version of 'Hallelujah', customised for the newly married couple.
In a powerful voice, he belts out the melody with ease that renders the congregation speechless.
By the end, the stunned bride is left in tears while members of the audience offer a standing ovation.
After the footage garnered more than 130,000 views on YouTube the 'Singing Priest' became an overnight star.
He told 2FM's Ryan Tubridy how he had actually performed the same routine for years.
"I've no idea how this works but if I make a single cent from this I will stick it straight back into the church," he said.
"I've actually been doing this for over two years at weddings, but this is the first time it has been sent into YouTube. I'm amazed that 130,000 have seen it."
He explained: "A few years ago a choir in my church sang Hallelujah and I changed the words to fit in with the bride and groom so I just went over afterwards and asked them for the lyrics.
"Then I found the JLS karaoke version which seemed to be in the perfect key for me. Then a few weeks later I started doing it.
"Neither the bride or groom on Saturday were local but they wanted to use my church because it is close to where they were holding the reception, so they didn't know what I was planning.
"I mentioned that I may sing at the rehearsal dinner on Thursday but even still I don't think they knew what I was planning."
Check out Fr Kelly's performance below...

Accessory Apartment Licenses
Accessory apartment licenses are now issued by the Department of Housing and Community Affairs (DHCA), Licensing and Registration. This new license type is for accessory apartments that do not have a special exception approved before May 20, 2013.
Montgomery County has replaced the special exception approval previously required for accessory apartments with the new licensing process. This process is designed to make it easier for owners to pursue this option and increase the supply of affordable housing in the County. Individuals who wish to apply for an accessory apartment may use the licensing process if the accessory apartment meets certain minimum standards. Those standards are available on DHCA's website. The fact sheet can be found at http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/OZAH/Resources/Files/pdf/2015/class3accyapt_factsheet.pdf.
The conditional use process still applies in limited circumstances: 1. To deviate from the requirements for on-site parking and/or for distance from other accessory apartments; or 2. To permit a detached accessory apartments in the AR, R and RC Zones.
Objections to an Accessory Apartment Decision
Individuals who disagree with the findings made by DHCA on a license application or who believe that on-street parking is inadequate to accommodate the apartment may object to granting the license and request that OZAH review the application. Forms for filing an objection are located on DHCA's website at http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/DHCA/housing/licensing/accessory_apartment.html. OZAH must hold a public hearing on the objections within 20 days of filing.
Objections to Accessory Apartment Licenses May NOT be Made to OZAH Based on Private Covenants or Association Regulations
Please be advised that under County Code §29-26, an applicant for an accessory apartment license, or an aggrieved party, may challenge findings made by the Director of the Department of Housing and Community Affairs (DHCA), or allege that on-street parking is inadequate, by filing a formal objection with the Office of Zoning and Administrative Hearings for Montgomery County (OZAH) within 30 days after the DHCA Director issues his findings. The issues that can be raised in an objection are limited by statute, and those issues do not include alleged violations of private covenants or association regulations. OZAH may decide only the issues properly raised in the objection. Thus, OZAH has no authority to review, in an accessory apartment license proceeding, the question of whether an individual has complied with private covenants or association regulations. Such matters are the province of the courts and/or the Commission on Common Ownership Communities (CCOC) pursuant to Chapter 10B of the Montgomery County Code.
Applications for an Accessory Apartment Conditional Use
Applications for a conditional use that are not eligible to apply for licenses are still required to obtain conditional use approval. Applications for an accessory apartment conditional use are located at http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/OZAH/Resources/Files/pdf/2015/AccessoryApartmenForms%20(1).pdf.

Additional Materials
1/4 inches wide elastic band for dog's hat (optional)
10 sts + 14 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with MC. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch

AUSTIN, Texas, February 26. THE Big 12 men and women's swimming and diving championships started this evening in the Texas capitol with a dominant showing by the Longhorns in the opening relay events.
Lily Moldenhauer, Gretchen Jacques, Brynne Wong and Ellen Lobb gave Texas its first automatic relay qualifying time of the season with a 1:37.16 to win the 200 medley relay by three seconds over West Virginia (1:40.41) and Kansas (1:40.63). The Texas women returned to post a winning time of 7:01.97 in the 800 free relay for another automatic qualifying time. Kansas scored a B cut time of 7:11.99 for second, while Iowa State was third with a 7:18.24.
On the men's side, Texas nearly erased a five-year-old meet record of 1:24.23 in the 200 medley relay with a 1:24.86 on the strength of a 20.13 butterfly split by freshman Jack Conger. It was the only NCAA automatic qualifying time in the event, as West Virginia's 1:26.59 was good for a B cut that could still find its way back to Austin for the NCAA championships. Texas Christian posted a 1:28.13 to officially post third place. Texas swam three exhibition medley relays, one of which swam faster than West Virginia. The Texas B squad put up a 1:26.28, while the C team posted a 1:27.28 ahead of the D team's 1:27.93.
In the men's 800 free relay Conger led off with a swift 1:33.64 to put Texas in the hunt for a top-eight time headed into the NCAAs, which is important since the 800 free relay is a timed final event at NCAAs. The Longhorns finished with a 6:17.24, which might end up on the bubble of being able to compete in the final heat next month. West Virginia came in second with a 6:26.87, while TCU was third in 6:36.04.
The men's 1-meter diving event featured four Longhorns who could figure prominently in next month's NCAA championships. Michael Hixon won with a score of 429.00 points, while Will Chandler was second with a score of 404.20. Sean O'Brien was third with 390.70, while Cory Bowersox took fourth with a 388.20. Placement in the NCAA championships is determined by performances at the zone meets in about a week, so placings in diving this week are fairly insignificant outside of points scored for teams.

John Reeves, the driving force behind Cal's pitching success, completed his 20th season with the Golden Bear program in 2013. Reeves, who brings more than two decades of coaching experience to the field, has helped numerous Cal pitchers earn All-American accolades. Additionally, Reeves has coached two Golden Bears - Jolene Henderson and Kristina Thorson - to Cal's three Pac-10/12 Pitcher of the Year honors.
Most recently, in 2013 – ace Jolene Henderson's final season – Reeves oversaw the senior on her way to becoming the winningest Golden Bear pitcher in program history. Henderson bested Cal legend Michele Granger with 130 wins, including a no-hitter at the Ann Arbor Regional in the final victory of her collegiate career. Henderson was selected third in the first round of the 2013 National Pro Fastpitch Draft by the Chicago Bandits.
Prior to the 2013 season, Reeves helped Henderson repeat as the conference pitcher of the year, going 38-4 with an impressive 1.29 ERA to also earn first-team All-America and Pac-12 laurels in 2012. Henderson shouldered almost 90 percent of the pitching for the 2011 Cal team that advanced to the Women's College World Series. In 2011, Henderson was lauded as the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year, marking the second time in program history that a Bear has earned that honor. Additionally, she was a first-team All-American, All-Region and All-Pac-10 selection. In her first year in a Cal uniform in 2010, Henderson was also honored for her pitching achievements as a member of the Pac-10 All-Freshman team. Both Henderson and Valerie Arioto were named to the All-Pacific Region first team.
Another disciple of Reeves, right-hander Arioto closed out her Cal career with a 1.32 ERA in 2012 along with first team All-America and All-Pac-12 status. Prior to redshirting the 2011 season, Arioto was lauded with placement on the 2010 All-Pac-10 first team and was named a Louisville Slugger/NFCA First-Team All-American. Additionally, in 2009, Reeves was instrumental in Arioto earning Easton All-America status, first-team All-Pac-10 selection and a third-team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American.
In 2008, Reeves helped groom Marissa Drewrey into an all-conference and all-region pitcher (29 wins). Other All-American pitchers under Reeves' watch include Jocelyn Forest and Whitney Floyd. Cal graduate Kristina Thorson (36-10, 0.83 ERA in 2006) who was a three-time All-American from 2004-06.
Prior to his arrival at Cal in 1994, Reeves served as head softball coach at Lynbrook High School in San Jose, Calif. He led his teams to a combined 105-27 record over five years, including a Central Coast Section title. From 1987-93, he coached the Twin Creeks Diamonds ASA team, developing more than 30 players who earned positions on Division I softball teams. He has also served as a Bobby Sox and PAL coach for 12 years.
In addition to his coaching stints, Reeves has presented pitching techniques and strategies at various clinics, including the NFCA Softball Exposure Camp.
Reeves graduated from San Jose State with a bachelor's degree in liberal studies in 1980. He resides in Dublin.

Vince i just got to my desk and am reading your notes from your live chat. While i think you do and have done a marvelous job, i think sometimes you throw names out that dont deserve the credit. i watch alot of these hs games and keep stats on guys and somtimes i wonder where you are coming from. i think you should think harder especially when asked about best hitters in class AA and best centerfieldera while those kids are pretty good there is a whole lotta names i would put before them. some of those guys have more stikeouts than alot of others and are not consistant ,unless you are getting stats from them and not the truth There are others that should get recognition in hitting and pitching that arent ever mentioned.
bb no. 1
Its hard to mention every name. i think he uses the names that come to mind first since he has to move along. There are a lot of good hitters and pitchers and centerfielders and so on that i would put before others also but im not being the one asked the qustions. good job vince.
move on
i cant wait for playoffs….going to be so exciting with alot of surpries.
B Real
Vince,you recognized the hitting, but how can you leave out Pipolo @ Rye Neck as one of the top catchers in section 1, any other catchers on your list call there own games ? look at the team ERA.

Christ in the Passover - Celebrate a Christian Seder
The Passover is the Old Testament feast that celebrates and remembers God's liberation of Israel from Egypt. It also foreshadow's Christ's sacrifice on the cross. In Christ in the Passover, You will learn the history of this special day and the symbolism in the Passover that points to Jesus Christ. Christ in the Passover also includes a Passover seder that can be used by Christians year round.
Jews and some Christians celebrate the Passover as a holiday that commemorates God's miraculous rescue of Israel from Egyptian captivity. God instituted the Passover feast over 3,500 years ago to remind his people of how much he loved them. The Passover is meaningful to Christians today because it is packed with symbolism that points to Jesus Christ and how much he loves us.
Most people today do not observe Passover or understand its significance. Christ in the Passover looks at the origins and symbolism of the Passover and how the Old Testament Passover is relevant today through God's Son, Jesus. Christ in the Passover shows six ways that the Passover in the Old Testament points to Jesus, who was called the "Lamb of God."
This [Passover] is a day to remember. Each year, from generation to generation, you must celebrate it as a special festival to the LORD. This is a law for all time.
Exodus 12:14
Christ in the Passover gives hundreds of facts at a glance, including:
Why is the Passover story important for Christians today?
At some point, you will face hard times, tough problems, and unfair circumstances. It's good to know that when times are tough, God loves you and watches out for you. Passover is a reminder of God's control over earthly events and ultimate victory over sin and death. Christ in the Passover will increase your faith in God as you learn that Jesus was sent to earth to become the Passover Lamb for all humanity.

text: TM told me that they added 1/2" to my R9's and when I had midsize TV's put on I had them add another 1/2" per my recent fitting. How do you properly measure the length of a golf club? I read somewhere that you basically take a yardstick to the heel of the club to 1/8" below the top of the grip....My 7 iron measures 37" (with a tape measure not a yardstick) and the standard length of it is 37" per TM's website. I can see where the grip used to be on the club so I know an adjustment has been made. Thanks.

We collect and analyze a snapshot of data from 10,568 file systems of 4801 Windows personal computers in a commercial environment. The file systems contain 140 million files totaling 10.5 TB of data. We develop analytical approximations for distributions of file size, file age, file functional lifetime, directory size, and directory depth, and we compare them to previously derived distributions. We find that file and directory sizes are fairly consistent across file systems, but file lifetimes vary widely and are significantly affected by the job function of the user. Larger files tend to be composed of blocks sized in powers of two, which noticeably affects their size distribution. File-name extensions are strongly correlated with file sizes, and extension popularity varies with user job function. On average, file systems are only half full.

Reviewing (i.e. bashing) David Warsh's Knowledge and the Wealth of Nations for the Journal of the History of Economic Thought, Philip Mirowski (2007: 492), concluded:
I pity the poor student of modern economics, trying to make some sense of what can only appear to the outsider as cryptic oracular pronouncements emitted from people who claim to be experts in the nature and validity of knowledge.* But when you get your news from Jon Stewart, your history from Paul Krugman, and your research facts from Wikipedia, maybe the nature of knowledge has itself changed.
The end of the sentence is tinged with what I believe is Mirowski's utter disdain for popular culture. It takes, however, just a few days for a non-American person to realize that Jon Stewart's Daily Show is certainly a better source of information than any other cable news (CNN included …), though I personally prefer the Colbert Report.
But my question is: what about Wikipedia? I have to confess I use it quite frequently, for some basic research at work as well as for some more silly inquiry about music, cinema or celebrities at home. Of course, I never take the information that is given there as granted and I think it is rather crucial to double check it with a more formal source of information, but I have largely benefited from the bibliography that is often provided at the end of articles. I am fairly impressed by the fact that some anonymous people have spent some time writing on E. Roy Weintraub or Waldemar Kaempffert, sometimes advertising the works of others without any reward. All in all, there is an underlying model of disinterestedness scientists should be proud (or envious?) of … Why, on the contrary, they spend so much time bashing it is therefore a mistery to me. Where does this idea that an increasing dissemination of knowledge corresponds to a degeneration of its substance come from? Jealousy? Elitism? Declinism? Conservatism? Repugnance for the "neoliberal" ideology they think such modes of dissemination sustain?
PS: Thanks to Wikipedia, for example, I learned that philosopher of science Susan Oyama has been married to the late great contemporary composer Luciano Berio from 1966 to 1972. Pretty interesting …
* I should point out that Mirowski is not referring to David Warsh here but to Paul Krugman, though his using the plural of "experts" is quite intriguing.

Since I am being psychobiographically criticized here, I found it hard not to jump in. First Yann, my comment was not a throwaway hostile to pop culture– it was based upon a deeper point being made about Wikipedia, fleshed out in my contribution to (out in June!). First off, do you know what % of its own articles the Wiki editors themselves deem to rise to the standard of a modern print encyclopedia? It is .2% (no decimal mistake there, BTW). The salient point is that Wikipedia is a failure by its own metrics (read the entry "Criticisms of Wikipedia" and the attendant links). It is a journalistic commonplace that Wiki is wickedly radical and democratic, but the reality is something else. Secondly, you can't just judge the quality by glancing at the entry itself– did you bother to check the discussion pages? (Most people don't). It will give you pause. The Internet (and blogs) encourage lazy intellectual grazing; real thought requires long difficult arguments you can't fit onto a few screens (or this tiny box that hems in my response). And finally, did you ever look into the actual history of Wikipedia? If you did, you would find it was initially intended to illustrate the propositions in Hayek's "Use of Knowledge in Society" according to its founder, Jimmy Wales. Hence Wikipedia is demonstrably a manifestation of the neoliberal approach to knowledge, as is, BTW, Paul Romer's 'New' Growth theory. They are both symptoms of what I would argue is the same debilitating Weltanschauung, that conceptualizes the process of communication and learning as a 'market-like' phenomenon. But of course I can't explain it here– there is an actual argument made in an extensive text.
And Tiago: a hitman is paid to assassinate people. I am not paid for what I do; indeed my bank balance and career suffers for it. This is not about Warsh being a good guy– I like him too. It is about the fact that the New Growth Theory is an abysmal empirical and theoretical failure, if you follow the orthodox literature, and yet, almost no one is willing to stare that fact in the face, including, it seems, all you good-looking HET scholars. It that makes me an Old Fart in your eyes, so be it.
I personally think Twitter makes one dull– all that self expression, and so little substance.

Finals week is a disaster for most students. Sometimes your finals are all scheduled on one day. Other times you have one on the first day, and one on the last. It's time to uncover a better way of running finals which doesn't waste students' time or bog them down with multiple tests on the same day.
If you were the registrar at your university, what are two things you would do to improve the way finals are currently scheduled and administered?
Criteria: The solutions that are either the most creative or the most feasible will be rewarded

Joint Pain During Monsoons
Jonathan Fox, MD, is an orthopedic surgeon at Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa, Ariz.
Question: With the monsoons here, I find that I seem to have more joint pain. Can the weather really affect my joints?
Answer: Yes, your joints pain is can probably a better indicator than your local weather station, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't turn off the news or the radio just yet.
Arizona residents are fortunate enough to be in a relatively warm, dry climate with less flair ups than other parts of the country. That is why monsoon season pain can be such a shock for some.
There has been a lot research in trying to figure out the exact scientific mechanisms that bring about weather-related joint pain.
Weather-related joint pain is usually seen in patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and most commonly affects hips, knees, elbows, shoulders and hands. The joints contain sensory nerves called baroreceptors that can detect barometric changes. The receptors especially react when there is low barometric pressure, such as before a rain storm may occur. People with arthritic joints seem to be more sensitive to the barometric changes.
Some research has suggested that high humidity combined with low barometric pressure are associated with increased joint pain and stiffness although either one could be a factor. Interestingly,relocating to a different area does not seem to diminish symptoms in the long run. Scientific studies have shown that people's bodies establish an new equilibrium to their local environment, so your body adjusts to wear you live.
Symptoms of certain persons are influenced by weather changes but it is not predictable what type of weather changes will bother people. It is important to realize that only symptoms such as pain and stiffness are influenced by weather. Weather cannot not cause joint damage or arthritis. In summary, lowering barometric pressure as seen with an approaching storm or elevation of attitude, and increase in humidity can influence the development of joint pain and stiffness.
The best advice I can give to you is to be as proactive as possible –all year round, regardless of the weather. Drink plenty of water, and keep your joints active by doing non-weight bearing exercises and stretches. Omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate may also be very beneficial.

Back up
I was saddened by the latest wave of school shootings and have an unsettling feeling that there are many more to come ("A sad reality," March 17). Not long ago we decided as a nation that the classroom was not big enough for both God and State. Curiously, God had to leave, not the State. So after decades of teaching our children that we are all just a cosmic accident and that there is no right and wrong, only shades of gray, why are we so surprised that some are unable to value life and have no moral compass? Why are we surprised that some, faced with teasing or rejection, think that the only viable solution is to kill all those who have upset them? Perhaps we should back up a few decades to reassess who should leave the classroom and let parents, not the State, decide how their children should be educated. - Chuck Siebsen, Falcon Heights, Minn.
The cover photo and headline of the March 17 issue said it all. Despair, shock, grief, and disbelief were written on the faces of those in the photo, and the words, "A sad reality," ring in our hearts. Where will it end? And the question that burns in my heart is: Where is the church? The church of Jesus Christ is seemingly powerless in a society that slides further and further into the darkness of sin and hopelessness. Nothing short of an authentic move of the Holy Spirit in a true revival will save our country. - Frank Nolton, Goodrich, Mich.
An American problem
The shooting was very sad, and very wrong, but is it merely because God is not taught in school? If we look at other, godless school systems, then murder in school should be a worldwide problem. Instead, it is an American problem. Maybe taking away the means, addressing the motives, and denying the opportunity would be an approach to stopping the murder by American teenagers. - Heidi Buiskool, Ferndale, Wash.
Payback time
Special thanks to Joel Belz for his hard-hitting and on-target comments on the predatory lending practices of the credit card companies ("The come-on," March 17). I spent 10 years in the lending business and I saw many people get in over their heads after receiving numerous credit cards. While it is the individual's fault for running up the debt, the credit card companies do very little to verify that the consumer can actually pay back the debt. The president of my former employer used to say (to paraphrase) "that the lender is responsible for keeping the borrower from taking out a bad loan by verifying that they can pay it back." - Travis Grubbs, Statesboro, Ga.
Free moral agents
I was somewhat surprised by "The come-on," which seemed to portray deeply in debt credit card holders as victims of the big banks and credit card companies. I always thought that conservatives did not see people as victims of big business or tobacco companies, but rather free moral agents who have made unwise and sinful choices. While the tactics of the credit card companies cannot be denied, the individual can still say no. Easy bankruptcy seeks to remove the consequences of practicing unbiblical behavior. - Lee Stauff, Quakertown, Pa.
Broken vows
Joel Belz expresses fairly his concerns about legislation designed to protect the "evil ways" of consumer credit lenders. But the most significant problem is not the lender, but the lack of obligation felt by the borrower. All our relationships-financial, marital, and vocational-suffer great damage at the hand of broken vows, excused by our postmodern value system. - Greg Phillips, Taylors, S.C.
I cannot fully agree with Mr. Belz's stance regarding the new bankruptcy laws. Yes, the banks encourage reckless spending and certainly are much to blame for the tremendous debt incurred by ordinary citizens. But as a small business owner, I feel victimized by my customers who so easily have reneged on their debts by filing for bankruptcy. I welcome the tightened rules on filings, and I cannot condone easily excusing those who are trapped in high debt loads, be it from credit cards, sloppy spending, or outright fraud. It rankles seeing many of them enjoy the niceties of life after legally avoiding payment to me. - Bill Mitchell, Fort Payne, Ala.
Better than all right
Andree Seu has allowed her readers a glimpse into the struggles of her heart during the illness and death of her husband, and now as a single parent. I finally had to write in after "How are you?" (March 17). Six weeks ago our third child, Caleb Andrew, was stillborn. "How are you?" is the common greeting from friends and family. I stifle the tears and heartache always just beneath the surface and usually answer, "All right." But she showed me that, in reality, I am doing better than "all right." God continues to provide comfort through His Spirit and His Word, and even in the midst of intense sorrow and confusion I have much for which to be thankful. - Stephanie Lindvall, Indianapolis, Ind.
Joyful and true
"How are you?" really touched my heart. I would say my greatest vice and the source of so much trouble for me flows out of bad conversation. I use a lot of words, and yet I could probably count on my hand how many are in praise to God. I hope that tomorrow the first person to ask me how I am will hear something joyful and true in response. - Jamieson Taylor, Austin, Texas
Hooked on Starbuck's
Your quote from the church official in Indiana that has a Starbuck's coffee franchise in the building was priceless (Quotables, March 17). Can't you just see Jesus turning over the coffee shop counter along with all the other moneychangers' tables? Do the people in this church sing "He's All I Need" while holding a cup full of coffee in the air? What would happen if they were as hooked on Jesus as they are on coffee? - Wendy Cummings, Pepperell, Mass.
Defining performance
Gene Edward Veith notes that four of 10 parents in Wisconsin's open enrollment program transferred their kids to schools with poorer academic performance ("Mom and dad's job," March 17). As the husband of a 24-year middle-school teacher, I've heard many stories of parents who do not want their children subjected to difficult assignments or challenged in any way. But in Wisconsin there may be more to the story. Here in Texas, some administrators require their teachers to spend inordinate amounts of time preparing for the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills tests, to the detriment of other parts of the curriculum. At other schools, standardized test scores may be lower but parent satisfaction and student achievement are higher. The parents who are transferring their children to schools with "poorer" academic performance may actually be improving their children's education. - Dan Gill, Fort Worth, Texas
Tracking traffic
I just thought I'd let you know how much we appreciate WORLD. My spouse and I are very interested in what and who is shaping our government so I'm especially thankful that you've added the new section, Flash Traffic, as we don't read the newspapers or watch TV. - Mary Feldhahn, Lake Elmo, Minn.
Be encouraged
When I came to City of Refuge maternity home in June of 1997, I was five months pregnant. I gave up my baby for adoption that September and have lived and worked here ever since. The Lord has done incredible things for me these past years, and I look forward to seeing what the Lord will do in the lives of these girls and those who have been here in the past. I would like to encourage everyone involved at the Mercy House and the Gladney Center for Adoption and everyone who is helping to house and witness to these girls who have weak hands and feeble knees ("Home for life," March 10). These girls have chosen life for their children and are to be commended. - Rebekah Moran, Gardnerville, Nev.
Mr. Veith describes Britney Spears's confession of faith as "commendable" ("Out of the dungeon," March 10). We believe that her profession causes more confusion than benefit. Her young fans have as a model of Christian devotion someone who says one thing with her lips and something totally different with her body. It leads a generation to believe that they can love the ways of the world and be devoted to God at the same time. - Richard & Marty Elwell, San Bernardino, Calif.
Taxpayers can deposit $2,000 annually in their IRAs until they turn 70H (March 24, p. 15). NBC recently signed a three-year, $5 million per episode deal to keep Frasier (March 24, p. 15). - The Editors
No excuse
Joel Belz should be ashamed of himself for his March 17 column. There is no excuse for excessive consumer debt; anyone who agrees to terms must understand them and abide by them. - Charles Phillip Van Someren, 16, Baldwin, Wis.

New Montreal gaming studio to pay tribute to childhood games
A new indie gaming studio named Tribute Games has been started up by former Ubisoft and Eidos employees in Montreal.
Co-founding game developers Justin Cyr, Jonathan Lavigne and Jean-François Major have worked together for several years, most recently developing Wizorb together.
According to an interview with Digital Spy, they chose the name Tribute Games because they want to pay tribute to all the cool games from their childhood. "We're passionate indies aiming at making entertaining games with a focus on pixel art and classic game design (sometimes with a modern twist)."
A release date for Tribute's first project has yet to be confirmed.
