" Pastor Hagee, in his homily, showed that though he knew his "Old Testament" chapter and verse, he didn't seem to know that the mighty cadences of his modified King James aren't quite impressive—are, in fact, quite confusing—to those who speak the language of the original: "Let the word go forth from Jerusalem today that Israel lives—shout it from the housetops that Israel lives.

Syria, Lebanon, the Palestine region, Western Asia, the Balkans, Italy, and Switzerland. Notwithstanding its specific name this stonecrop is not found in Spain. Sedum is the Latin name of the adjoining genus, Sempervivum, houseleek. It is derived from sedare, to appease, to tranquillize, since the houseleek cultivated on housetops was supposed to take away the thunder, or probably because the crushed leaves used in plasters have a sedative action.

Any revelation of Abwoi secrets could be meted with capital punishment. Women were also implored to keep society secrets, particularly, those related to way.

For weeks after leaving the nest the young congregate in ever-increasing flocks which, as the season advances, may be seen gathering in trees or on housetops, or on the wires with swallows. By the end of October, most martins have left their breeding areas in western and central Europe, though late birds in November and December are not uncommon, and further south migration finishes later anyway. Once established, pairs remain together to breed for life; however, extra-pair copulations are common, making this species genetically polygamous, despite being socially monogamous. A Scottish study showed that 15% of nestlings were not related to their putative fathers, and 32% of broods contained at least one extra-pair chick.

In July 1960, M.G. "Pat" Robertson, son of Virginia United States Senator A. Willis Robertson and an attorney-turned-Southern Baptist minister, filed for a new construction permit on channel 27—unrelated to the previous WTOV-TV. Under the ownership of Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network, channel 27 returned to the air on October 1 as WYAH-TV, with "YAH" standing for " _Yah_ weh" according to some sources (including Pat Robertson's autobiography, Shout it From the Housetops) and " _Y_ ou _a_ re _H_ oly" according to others. Pat Robertson's first choice for call letters was WTFC (" _T_ elevision _F_ or _C_ hrist"). Those call letters were announced by Robertson to local media, before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) informed him that they were unavailable.

The station was the brainchild of John Stone Thigpenn who, while working as an announcer at Christian radio station WBIX (1010 AM, now WJXL) during May 1977, read Pat Robertson's "Shout it From the Housetops," Robertson's personal account of how he founded the Christian Broadcasting Network. Thigpenn, who gained faith to create a similar venture in Jacksonville, mentioned on the air that he wanted to start a Christian television station in the Jacksonville market. Within minutes of this announcement, listener Janice Paulk from Fernandina Beach called to ask who she should make a check out to in support of the effort. Thigpenn suggested the name "Christian Television of Jacksonville," knowing he could later formally create a business license and banking account under that name. Three days later, a check for $1,000 was received from Paulk.

Although Paul Clifford is rarely read among the general reading public today, it contains one of the most widely known incipits in English literary history: "It was a dark and stormy night...." It is frequently invoked for its atmospheric and neo-Gothic description, often in the mystery, detective, horror and thriller genres. Because of its Romantic qualities, it has likewise become a textbook example of purple prose. "It was a dark and stormy night" is only the beginning of the full first sentence: > It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at > occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which > swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling > along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps > that struggled against the darkness.

Her most well known works include the Knife Grinders, Housetops, and the Boat Builders, all scenes of India created in around 1920–30. Her woodcuts of flowers, dating from around 1930 to 1933, including Cineraria, Honeysuckle and Columbine, are also well known. Because her husband was not allowed to join the British army due to medical reasons, he instead served with the Indian army – allowing for extensive travel throughout India and the Himalayas, which would serve as inspiration for the subjects of many of Royds's woodcuts throughout the 1920s. Some India-inspired prints include scenes of children watching street musicians, women filling water vessels, and men tending to goat herds – a sample of tasks from everyday life there. Despite the inspirations from Royds’s extensive travel through other countries, she also enjoyed depicting the simple things that surrounded her home: children growing up, neighbourhood animals, and flowers in bloom.

Bulwer-Lytton's name lives on in the annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, in which contestants think up terrible openings for imaginary novels, inspired by the first line of his 1830 novel Paul Clifford:Edward Bulwer Lytton, Paul Clifford (Paris, France: Baudry's European Library, 1838), page 1 . > It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrentsexcept at > occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which > swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling > along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps > that struggled against the darkness. Entrants in the contest seek to capture the rapid changes in point of view, the florid language, and the atmosphere of the full sentence. The opening was popularized by the Peanuts comic strip, in which Snoopy's sessions on the typewriter usually began with It was a dark and stormy night.

For example: :"workers and masters are separate as Dives and Lazarus" "ay, as separate as Dives and Lazarus, with a great gulf betwixt" (Elizabeth Gaskell; Mary Barton a tale of Manchester life 1848) :"Between them, and a working woman full of faults, there is a deep gulf set." (Charles Dickens; Hard Times 1854) Although Dickens' A Christmas Carol and The Chimes do not make any direct reference to the story, the introduction to the Oxford edition of the Christmas Books does."And he cried it, how he cried it, from the housetops!—the wealth of Dives jostling the want of Lazarus, Trotty Veck's humble dish of tripe made humbler by Sir Joseph Bowley's opulent cheque-book; above all, Scrooge, who, obliged to subscribe to the prisons and the Poor Law, shut his eyes to the conditions of those ghastly institutions,..." The Oxford Illustrated Dickens: Christmas books – p. vi Charles Dickens, illustrated by Phiz, Hablot Knight Browne, 1998 In Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, Ishmael describes a windswept and cold night from the perspective of Lazarus ("Poor Lazarus, chattering his teeth against the curbstone...") and Dives ("...the privilege of making my own summer with my own coals").
