This coming Sunday begins the week that Christians call "Holy Week". From the gospel accounts of Jesus' ministry we begin Holy Week with Palm Sunday where Jesus' entry into Jerusalem is described as a joyous event where the people hailed Jesus as King! (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40; John 12:12-19) As one reads the gospel accounts of the events surrounding Jesus in and around Jerusalem after his royal entry, we read of the beginning of the sacrament of Holy Communion as Jesus celebrates the Passover Meal with...

A new batch of culinary magazine offers arrived in my mail box recently.

Why do the cake layers bake with a hump in the middle? Usually, this is caused by a batter t...

To the Editor: During the last few months, a scam to steal money by telephone has been spreading through many counties in the state of Washington. It is called the “Jury Duty Warrant Scam.” The usual approach is that the scammer will call the victim, identify him/herself as a law enforcement officer or a court clerk and advise that a court has issued a warrant for his/her arrest because the person failed to appear for jury duty. The caller then goes on to explain that in order to have the warrant lifted, the caller would nee...
When Mr. Obama granted amnesty to about 900,000 Latino immigrants (whose parents were illegals) I immediately thought of people I knew who followed the rules to become citizens. They were from Europe and they had gone through Ellis Island where they had to pass a physical and answer a lot of questions. I know of some who were rejected and sent back. The people who were approved found transportation to the homes of their sponsors where they stayed until they found work and places to live. Their sponsors were responsible for...
As a child, I learned about the “valley of the shadow of death” from the twenty-third Psalm. A similar image is conjured up by economists who talk about the “valley of death.” They mean that potentially deadly stage in the life of a business when production needs to be massively scaled up but investors aren’t willing to make that leap based only on pilot-scale results or because the economics of full-scale production are still iffy. One segment of the young biofuels industry...
