Women who wear high heels all the time and then walk without them walk completely differently than women who do not wear heels and they probably increase their risk for a whole host of injuries.
Heels shorten the Achilles tendon and change how your foot orients itself to the ground. That spells trouble once the heels come off, says Gretchen Reynolds. (via nprfreshair)

newyorker: Shouts & Murmurs: New Questions for Passover Seder At every Passover Seder, the youngest child asks the Four Questions, including “Why is this night different from all other nights?” and “On all other nights, we eat either sitting or reclining, but why on this night do we recline?” In order to make this year’s Seders more user-friendly, the United Council on Reform Judaism has suggested adding the following bonus questions: 1. Is the fact that Gwyneth Paltrow is only half Jewish really a blessing in disguise? 2. Was there anyone in the Talmud named Madison? 3. If Lucky Charms were a Jewish cereal, would the box have a picture of Rahm Emanuel? 4. In a Jewish family, isn’t “tiger mother” just another term for “amateur”? - Above, the first four new questions that Paul Rudnick provides in this week’s Shouts & Murmurs. Add these, and an additional 15, to the existing four questions at your Passover seder this year. For the rest: http://nyr.kr/H6YjbR 7.

Shouts & Murmurs: New Questions for Passover Seder

At every Passover Seder, the youngest child asks the Four Questions, including “Why is this night different from all other nights?” and “On all other nights, we eat either sitting or reclining, but why on this night do we recline?” In order to make this year’s Seders more user-friendly, the United Council on Reform Judaism has suggested adding the following bonus questions:

1. Is the fact that Gwyneth Paltrow is only half Jewish really a blessing in disguise?

2. Was there anyone in the Talmud named Madison?

3. If Lucky Charms were a Jewish cereal, would the box have a picture of Rahm Emanuel?

4. In a Jewish family, isn’t “tiger mother” just another term for “amateur”?

As someone who spent a lot of years living in Jerusalem, one of the great perks is that when you come back, and you get into these Israel arguments in your American-Jewish clan, you can really just silence them by saying ‘I lived there.’ So we used it like a bludgeon.
