Complete contradiction in terms. You cannot "live by the Bible" and not be "within the Church", since the Epistles are addressed to the Church. Therefore, you cannot even be Christian. There is no such thing as a Christian outside of the Church.
If I am born-again through Jesus Christ and I am committed to Him, than I am a member of the Church.
I'm not talking about the Church as in the Orthodox Church, which is a denomination of Christianity.
Just to be sure . . . you aren't saying Christians outside your church are not Christians, are you?
Hogwash. The second birth is Baptism, through which we die with Christ and rise with Him to enter the Church. Hogwash. How can the Orthodox Church be a denomination if it existed since AD 33 and is therefore pre-denominational?
The Church of the Bible shares One Cup and One Bread. There is One Lord, One Faith One Baptism. There is only One Church, and it's visible boundaries are the Baptised who share Holy Communion with one another.
Just to be sure . . . you aren't saying Christians outside your church are not Christians, are you?
You my friend, are a Protestant who believes that faith which you have been taught.
Now (and I realise this may cause some debate even on these forums), I affirm that history strongly suggest that Jesus Christ our Lord and King was indeed born on Christmas Day (ie the 25th of December- according to the Julian calendar). I know this may astonish you and had somebody told me the same not too many years ago I would have marvelled at him; yet I would have been bound for the Truth's sake to seek out why he would say such a thing.
yes halloween is evil, we don't believe that MS Encarta Encyclopedia is infallible so quoting from it won't win you any particular support around here. Just look up the history of man and read about evolution and you may not think its version of history is so reliable either.
Aint this thread supposed to be about Spooks and sweets and whether we should suffer suckers who solicit our sweet stuffs on Samhain sourly? I can understand the diversion from our prostestant friend, but still. Lets get back to candy and costumes, m' cay?
+ Irini nem ehmot,I love the irony found in the words, 'non-denominational Christian'. Wouldn't classifying yourself as non-denominational be a denomination in and of itself?
I have been baptized, by the Holy Spirit and through immersion in water. You believe that the Orthodox Church originated from the Apostles in A.D. 33, but I don't necessarily think so. I don't know if you have any real proof to that, and if you don't, then it's simply a matter of opinion. I have done a little research of it and I don't have any proof that the Orthodox Church really did originate from the Apostles. But, if it did, that doesn't necessarily mean that the Orthodox Church is the "true church." It seems obvious to me that there are some false doctrines within the Orthodox church. I believe that you can be a member of the Orthodox Church and be a Christian, though I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. But, there are definitely some doctrines within the Orthodox Church that are not Biblical. That's why I believe that there is no particular Christian sect or denomination that is perfect, as far as I know.
You do realize, of course, that that the Orthodox Church wrote that Bible, right? When the Church compiled the canon of scripture, she ensured that the books selected were in accord with the teachings of the Apostles. The question for the Church isn't "is it Biblical?" but rather "is it Apostolic?" because the question she asked when compiling scripture was "is it Apostolic?" The Bible didn't produce the Church; the Church produced the Bible.
The Bible didn't produce the Church; the Church produced the Bible.Â
who is your bishop? Mine is His Grace Anba Daniel, Coptic Orthodox Diocesan Bishop of Sydney, New South Wales, Queensland, the Northern Teritory, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Kingdom of Thailand, Japan, China and affiliated regions,
Wow, that's one big diocese!
lubeltri, with all due respect, your mockery is unlikely to assist the salvation of this seeking soul so may I please kindly ask you to keep your chuckles to yourself at least for the moment. We all see these points but we must put the salvation of a soul above our own amusement.
No, I'm not saying that one has to attend the particular church building that I attend in order to be Christian. A true Christian is one that is reborn through Christ and puts their faith in Him. That is what gets you saved and that is what I believe. There are many different Christian sects and denominations. I don't think any of them are perfect. The only thing that is perfect is Jesus and His Word.
Btw, I'm not Protestant.
lubeltri, please forgive my misinterpretation of your words. I often fail to notice points like the one you were making unless somebody spells it out for me sorry. Now that you have explained your reasoning I understand and thank you for doing so Reasoning for the Orthodox would be the same. Do you believe our new friend who believes in Jesus Christ would understand what you meant though without explanation?If I may request it please, would you mind PMing me your religious background and how you became a Catholic along with your views on the Orthodox Church?Thank you and pray for me my friend.
Look forward to hearing from you again but perhaps starting another thread under "Faith Issues" or "Convert Issues" would be more appropriate than continuing in here.
Actually, after the go-round we had recently in the Faith Issues section, encouraging yes, halloween is evil to start a thread there is very probably NOT a good idea. Since we don't have an Orthodox-Protestant board, I would probably have to kick his posts back out to Free-For-All to allow for less distracted discussions of subjects pertaining to the Orthodox Christian faith in the Faith board.
I suppose that raises the question of whether we should have an Orthodox-Protestant board. Given that we have an EO-OO board and an Orthodox-Catholic board, it would seem to make sense to have one for Protestants as well, which would deal with the issue of where to keep those threads.
It seems I am one of the few particpatingin this thread to consider our friend a Christian,
Well, I s'pose we can petition Anastasios and FrChris to give us such a board.
I do consider him a Christian, too; I believe that everyone who has been baptized in the name of the Trinity is a Christian. I just think that Protestants are "catechumens" still.

yes halloween is evil, grace and peace be with you dear searcher. Whether you call yourself a Protestant or not does not change what you are but if it will make you happy then I will not call you one. Coming from a Seventh Day Baptist background I am well aware who the SDAs received their teachings regarding the Sabbath from also It is good that you call yourself a Christian but unless you are able to connect your baptism with the Apostles then I am afraid that you actually have no right to call yourself a Christian any more than a Mormon or a JW does. Do you consider these to be Christians also?
Regarding the Lord's birthday, practically every iota of information which floats about Protestant circles regarding this issues stems from Hislop's work. If you haven't read Hislops work then you have probably just read different people quoting him anyway. For a start, do you know that there are shepherd in that part of the world who keep their sheep in the field all year round? Are you aware of how many ancient records state that Christ was born on the 25th of one month or another? Some mistakenly transfered the date to their own local calendars and thus came up with what would appear to us to be random dates but even before the census records were made available to Christians (at which time Christ's birth date was confirmed) it was known by some here and there who had received The Faith when our Lord Jesus was born - the 25th of December. The Biblical record also (when examined correctly and not with misunderstanding as those who date the Lord's birth to about the Feast of Tabernacles or other such dates do so) attests that the Lord ought to have been born about this time. Agreed though that the Holy Bible does not state the exact date nor is it a matter neccessary for salvation. Hence my noting that even many here may disagree if they haven't thoroughly read history on this topic. {On a side note, I'm hoping to create a page about this hopefully around November once I have some free time. I'll let you know once it's launched God-willing.}
You said, "I am a member of the Church." In that case, St. Ignatius (the disciple of St. John the Beloved of the Lord) has these words for you, "Wherefore it is fitting that ye should run together in accordance with the will of your bishop" (Epistle of St. Ignatius to the Ephesians, ch. IV). Again, "It is fitting, then, not only to be called Christians, but to be so in reality: as some indeed give one the title of bishop, but do all things without him. Now such persons seem to me to be not possessed of a good conscience... be ye united with your bishop" (Epistle of St. Ignatius to the Magnesians, ch. IV-VI). And again, "Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop" (Epistle of St. Ignatius to the Smyrnæans, ch. VIII). So then my friend, if you are a true member of the Christian Church, who is your bishop?
That is Apostolic.
I have been baptized by the Holy Spirit when I became born-again. Then, I went to a church and received a baptism there in front of the congregation, including the church elders, in which hands were laid on me by the pastor and I was fully immersed in water. That is Apostolic. I do believe that anyone that is born-again through Jesus and puts their faith in Him is saved and is therefore Christian. I don't think any Christian sect or denomination is perfect. Therefore, if someone that is a Mormon or JW is saved, then they are saved through and through even though many Mormon and JW teachings are messed up. Actually, I look upon Orthodox Christians in a similar light. Only God knows each and every heart, and if they are truly saved. 1 Peter 3:21-22: "There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him."
That's nice information to know. However, I still disagree that it is december 25th. But, my sources do not only come from writing. I once saw a programme on television in which a man went out to discover the story of the magi coming to worship the Lord. He looked into the Bible. He looked into the calendar system. He and someone else performed some pretty advanced scientific type of stuff on computers in which he studied the magi's astrology and traced those astrological periods. All of this is a very brief explanation and I don't remember all of it. But, they came to the conclusion that Jesus was probably actually born in the spring in march. I very much don't believe that he was born on december 25th and I thought that it was common knowledge to many Christians. Also, the Roman Catholic Church instituted Christmas on december 25th probably because that was a major pagan "holiday" of the winter solstice and the Roman Catholic Church wanted people to join with them instead. So they decided to create their own man-made tradition and instituted the observance of christmas on that day. They did the same thing with substituting halloween with all saint's day/all soul's day and they've done that with other days as well.
My local church and fellowship of believers doesn't have a bishop, although I think it would be good to because the Bible speaks of the churches as having such. However, most churches don't seem to have bishops as far as I can tell. So, there isn't much I can do about it. My local church fellowship has a Pastor and deacons. I don't know the writings of Ignatius as it's not in the Bible. But, I found a quote from Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians 6:1, "Plainly therefore we ought to regard the bishop as the Lord Himself." So, if I were to go on that then I would say that the Lord Himself is my Bishop. But either way, I don't agree that one needs a church bishop to be saved/to be a member of the Church aka the Body Of Christ nor to have a good conscience. Jesus is my Light, Jesus is my Guide, Jesus is my Redeemer, Jesus is my Teacher, Jesus is my Beloved and Jesus is my God. It's all about Jesus. The LORD is the head of the Church, not the bishop. He's simply a leader within a church fellowship and a shepherd of the flock whilst Jesus is the Chief Shepherd of the flock. The most important thing is to be saved and if one is then they truly are a full-fledged member of the Church aka Body of Christ.
How do you know what Apostolic is? Reading the Bible in total separation from the 1st-4th Century Church that compiled it and inserting your own 20th-21st Century ideas into your exegesis won't show you this.
What 20th-21st century ideas are you talking about? The writings included in the NT were written in the 1st Century AD. That is what I read and that is what I know. Therefore, I know what Apostlic is. The Apostles that spoke and recorded the words included in the Bible were from the 1 Century A.D. not the 2, 3 or 4th century A.D. I could easily say that you're reading the Bible and perhaps some other questionable documents with a 20th-21th Century mindset and therefore how could you ever understand it. I understand the Bible because of the Holy Spirit inside of me. Is not the Holy Spirit the one that guides us and helps us in our Christian walk? Is not Jesus our Great Teacher? "But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ." (Matthew 23:8-10 NKJV)
I don't know if you've been able to read between the lines of the responses you've been receiving yet or not, so I'll try to clarify a fundamental problem with this debate. You seem to think the point of the Christian life is salvation, but while even amongst the Orthodox there's a broad spectrum of belief about salvation (anywhere from Nyssa's Apokatastasis to a Cyprian's 'no salvation outside the Church' approach) most everyone would agree that salvation is not the ultimate goal of the Christian life, but rather growth in Christ and becomming more god-like is the goal, it is assumed that the Christian life leads one beyond mere salvation. As long as you hold some single act of salvation, that is to say getting into heaven, as the ultimate soteriological goal, you will be addressing this discussion from a perspective foreign to Orthodox and will be perceived as being overly simplistic about something as complex as the mind of God. And before you get into the I'm a persecuted martyr mindset, remember, this is just a message board, if you're not communicating and are failing on a rhetorical level, you're not giving your position justice.
This kind of an argument may fly on other boards you're familiar with, but aruging a point because 'a programme on televisions in which a man...[did]...some pretty advanced scientific type of stuff on computers' isn't going to cut it. Granted, people try to make these poor arguments from time to time but they should expect to be called out on it. Not even saying that I disagree with you on the dating, I think there's enough data available to rule one way or the other, and quite frankly believe the question to be irrelevant to the celebration of feasts. But poor arguments and bad rhetoric cannot be allowed to slide by unnoticed.
'Regard the bishop as the Lord Himself,' NOT 'Regard the Lord Himself as the bishop.' Word order matters in English, in the original Greek it's less important but the inflection makes the meaning clear.
I believe the point was that nothing can be understood in a vacuum, many in the Orthodox Church make the same mistake when reading our Church Fathers, they read them like protestants read the Bible, as though it stands on its own. Of course, they don't, just as the Bible doesn't. When someone writes a document of any sort there are several complex contexts: cultural, political, social, ethical, religious, linguistic, economic, etc. If one does not understand these contexts (which were very different during the 1-4th centuries than they are today), they can't truly understand the essence of the writing, they end up interpreting it through their own experiences rather than through the experiences of the author. I believe that is what he means by inserting your own 20th-21st century ideas...to a degree we all do it, but understanding and admitting to this tendency (whether one embraces or attempt to avoid such influences) is a prerequisite to any legitimate exegesis and textual criticism.
The Bible interprets itself.
That's not what the Bible says.
Please prove that to me because I believe it does.
Acts 8:30-31"So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?" And he said, "How can I, unless someone guides me?" And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him."
2 Peter 1:20"knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation"
I don't think that is proof that the Bible doesn't interpret itself because that person was brand new to the faith. He just converted.
2 Thessalonians 2:15 "Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle."
So, what is your source for the words of the Apostles not written in the Epistles so that you may hold fast to the traditions they taught as they instructed us to?
I'm afraid that this is nothing more than your interpretation of the Scripture. "I don't think" means "I'm not certain", in other words, even this Scripture passage does not "interpret itself" for you....
I don't think that is proof that the Bible doesn't interpret itself because that person was brand new to the faith. He just converted. I KNOW that is not proof that the Bible doesn't interpret itself because that person was brand new to the faith. He just converted.
Quote from: yes halloween is evil on October 06, 2007, 08:15:24 PMI don't think that is proof that the Bible doesn't interpret itself because that person was brand new to the faith. He just converted. I KNOW that is not proof that the Bible doesn't interpret itself because that person was brand new to the faith. He just converted. Actually, now that I think about it, even though the Bible (which is part of the Logos Word Of God) does interpret itself in many instances in the writing, one does need the Holy Spirit and Rhema Word of God much of the time in order to fully understand and be given the correct interpretation when reading the Bible. There are many people in the world that read the Bible, but don't get it at all because they aren't guided by the Holy Spirit or Rhema Word of God or they have their hearts and minds closed to it. I totally forgot about that for a moment. But, this is still speaking of the Word Of God. I don't need a person to interpret it for me, all I really need is the Word Of God in its forms to interpret it for me. I do think that a person can help another to a certain extent, as I have been, if that person is anointed by the Holy Spirit, is more mature in faith and knows the Word because that person has progressed more in the Holy Spirit than a new comer for example. But, I don't think that's vital to understanding and interpreting the Bible if one is anointed by the Holy Spirit themselves, knows the Word and is willing to pray in order to understand the text.

Today, the Center for Rural Affairs provided testimony to the Revenue Committee of the Nebraska Legislature in opposition to LB 405 - a proposal to eliminate the state income tax and shift revenue burdens to additional sales taxes.
Today, the Center for Rural Affairs provided testimony to the Revenue Committee of the Nebraska Legislature in opposition to LB 405 - a proposal to eliminate the state income tax and shift revenue burdens to additional sales taxes.
"LB 405 is harmful to rural Nebraska," said Jon Bailey, Director of Rural Research and Analysis at the Center for Rural Affairs. "It is estimated LB 405 will cause 80 percent of Nebraskans to pay higher taxes, especially those earning incomes less than $60,000 annually. With average incomes significantly lower in rural Nebraska, many of those paying higher taxes as a result of LB 405 will be residents of rural Nebraska."
According to Bailey's testimony, LB 405 will also directly hit the pocketbooks of Nebraska's farmers and ranchers, who would pay taxes on seed, machinery, chemicals, water for irrigation and energy – items that have been exempt from sales tax for decades. From Nebraska Department of Revenue data, placing a sales tax on those items would result in nearly $300 million taken in increased taxes from our agricultural operations and our farm and ranch families.
"LB 405 will also harm healthcare in rural Nebraska," he said. "Over $140 million will be taken from Nebraskans in new sales taxes for prescription drugs, medical equipment and hospital rooms. As a result, the elderly, the middle class, those without health insurance or with inadequate health insurance and people with disabilities will be hit with a new 'sick tax' that is imposed only because someone needs medical care."
Bailey explained further that rural healthcare facilities that are facing economic pressure will be damaged by having to pay increased sales taxes and from patients struggling to pay increased healthcare costs.
"The consequences and added taxes of LB 405 lead to the conclusion that LB 405 is simply a tax shift to selected sectors of our state's economy and to lower- and middle-income Nebraskans," Bailey said. "Nebraskans do not need a new 'sick tax,' nor will they benefit from higher property taxes. And the potential damage to farming, ranching, rural health care facilities, students, the elderly, the disabled and hard-working, middle-class families make this proposal a bad deal for rural Nebraska."

And then when the team losing gets ball they shoot 3s to try to reduce the lead? Why doesnt the team thats ahead also foul the other team so they cant shoot 3s? In theory the game would just go back and forth with foul shots with the team down a large majority unable to really come back in such a short amount of time.

As we return to Jefferson City this week, the top priority for the Missouri House will be the budget.
As we return to Jefferson City this week, the top priority for the Missouri House will be the budget. State legislators have always taken very seriously the budgeting process, working hard to use Missouri taxpayer's money wisely.
The only constitutional requirement made of each session of the General Assembly is to pass a balanced state budget. With our national economic recession and Washington's uncertain policies, budgeting on the state level has become more difficult. However, Missouri's General Assembly has led the way, balancing the state budget and making cuts in spending when necessary, while not raising taxes on Missourians. Our state has maintained a triple-A rating, one of only seven states in the nation to do so. Basically, this means that while Missouri does have its financial challenges, overall, we are conducting our state's economic business in a responsible manner.
When visiting with constituents this past week on a number of state issues, it became obvious that the concern of most folks was not so much state happenings, as is the overall direction of our federal government. Several concerns that have been voiced to me deal with the national debt and federal spending, ObamaCare, and gun regulation.
The President hasn't submitted a budget to Congress in four years and the United States Senate hasn't passed a budget in four years. The national debt continues to grow while some in Washington debate whether we have a spending problem. Then there is sequestration.
Sequestration—across-the-board cuts to government agencies—went into effect March 1. These cuts are to be a fifty-fifty split between national defense (military) and domestic discretionary spending and are to reduce federal spending by a total of $1.2 trillion over a period of 10 years. We need to keep in mind that with sequestration, the federal government isn't going to reduce its spending. Their spending is on course to reach $6 trillion by 2023, growing at just under 70 percent from today's $3.6 trillion.
The truth is that sequestration doesn't cut federal spending at all; it only reduces the projected baseline increase. There is an automatic built-in spending increase of 8 percent each year. Sequestration will only slow the growth in federal spending and reduce this year's built-in automatic spending increase by a little over 2 percent. To put all this into perspective, the federal government borrows $85 billion every 28 days, or out of every one dollar we spend, we borrow 46 cents.
Another concern on people's minds is ObamaCare and its pending implementation. This healthcare act is set to be fully implemented in 2014. One thing we are dealing with on the state level is the possible massive Medicaid expansion. An additional 300,000 Missourians will be eligible for Medicaid under ObamaCare, and concern is being expressed as to who will fund it. Even though many in Missouri do not agree with this program, it was passed into law by Congress and upheld as constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. Its impact on our state's financial health remains to be seen, because they are still writing the act. However, ObamaCare, like most federal programs, will be extremely costly.
Another topic of interest expressed by constituents is the on-going debate about federal gun control, with its possible accompanying regulations and requirements. Concerns are that the federal government may pass legislation that will attempt to control, regulate, or confiscate guns, beginning with assault weapons, but then moving on to handguns. Many in our state, as well as in our nation, are worried that our Second Amendment rights could be radically altered or completely taken away.
There are questions about the direction in which our nation is headed. Some of those questions involve the over-reaching and unsustainable growth of the federal government, state's rights versus the federal law, and does federal law always supersede state law?

I just spent some of the holidays with my two grown sons, their wives and three grandchildren. It was a fun time, and I feel so grateful both families are healthy and thriving.
It was especially a joy to watch my two sons interact with their kids and wives and each other. They are adults now, with adult successes and challenges. Sometimes, it was difficult for me to know when to step in and when to hold my tongue. And sometimes, its difficult to deal with the more adult problems when Im asked.
When my boys were growing up, I made my way through sleepless nights, soccer games and swimming meets, chaotic dinner hours, endless mess, the agony of college admissions and all the rest. Now, in retrospect, raising little kids was a piece of cake. As long as I hugged them a lot and made good food, things were, for the most, part OK. I could solve most problems and distract them from the others. Home was the haven from all that might be painful and difficult out in the big world.
When they grew up, they fell in love, got their hearts broken, got jobs, lost jobs, moved many times and got married. They have children, struggle with financial issues, deal with complicated fathers, get ill and both have experienced deaths of friends and loved ones. These are big deals and new territory for me as a mother. It still breaks my heart for them to have to deal with any pain at all.
Sometimes I am consulted and sometimes Im not. Certainly, I worry when I know of these times, and Im gradually learning to know how to react.
I know its important for them to build their own lives, so I wait for them to ask and then I am very available to them. Im keeping the lines of communication open, and most of the time, they just want someone to listen. They want sympathy and steadiness and support when they are in tumult.
They sometimes want guidance, but not all the time. This is the tricky part, to know when to offer it. I must recognize and respect the differences between us, and I need to see them in their lives as they are now, not when they were 8.
I also encourage them, when appropriate, to work through the unfinished business of their childhoods. None of us was perfect parents, and all people have family baggage. The sooner they can make sense of this, the healthier it is for their own families.
Many adult children are returning home to live with parents for economic reasons. This must greatly magnify the issues described above. Kudos to all parents who can do this.
The goal of parenting is to bring into the world kind, caring individuals who are responsible for themselves and the world around them. Economic times have greatly shuffled the normal timeline for this.
Another aspect of having adult children is their newfound appreciation for us as parents! As I watch my boys struggle with kids who wont eat, potty training and finding the right schools, I feel a new respect from them as a mother and keeper of the flame.
We will always be mothers and fathers, no matter how old our kids are. Well always celebrate the joys and worry about the hard times. This time of parenting, less hands on and more esoteric, can be much more fulfilling.

Regarding the woman who wrote about the horses that were seized for alleged neglect ("Preying on farmers," July 16): I find it amusing that she thinks these people are going to get rich by reselling these horses. Unless these horses are well trained for a specific discipline, such as gaming, team penning, dressage, etc., and as she says they are just supposed to run around in the pasture and look beautiful, they are a glut on the market.
Has she been to a horse auction lately? They want to to open slaughterhouses in the United States again because of the amount of unwanted horses. Irresponsible breeding by backyard horse owners is my pet peeve.
I am glad to know that because I own some acreage and a few horses, I can call myself a "farmer." Most farmers I have known do not, nor have they ever, owned horses. As my one hay supplier said, if I can't eat it, why would I feed it?

Posted on September 16, 2009
The problem with this kind of thing is that you have 25 years' worth of stories stored away, and if you don't remember them, there are people who will.
Hey, remember the lady with all the boxes of art books who lived in a fourth story walk-up? (Yeah, and the pick-up driver remembers her, too. That's why he won't pick up for me any more.)
Hey, remember the mansion out in the suburbs where we were offered an antique pool table for free? (It was a serious offer, too: lovely pool table dating from about 1905, in perfect condition. So heavy it was actually installed in the basement before the rest of the house was built, and there was no way to get it out again without tearing down the building.)
Hey, remember that big old country house where they'd torn up the street AND were getting ready to resod the lawn the day we were there to carry out the books? AND it was raining, remember? (Oh, how could I forget? It had been the family home for four generations and the basement, which was a mammoth cave, still held the equipment for every do-it-yourself craze they'd taken up, from candle-making to weaving to carpentry to photography. I thought the DIY Channel should have bought it to preserve as a museum.)
Hey, remember that professor's office on the fifth floor? (Which one? Every professor's office I've helped clean out seems to have been on the fifth floor? Do you mean the one where we formed relay teams: one volunteer would run the books down to the fourth floor landing, where another would pick them up and run them to the third floor, and….what do you suppose became of the football players the college promised us would be there to help?)
Hey, remember I called and you said you'd pick up my sixty-seven boxes of record albums? (Sorry, after 25 years the memory's starting to go. And I think my hearing's gone, too, so don't say it again.)

The No. 9 Nebraska volleyball team (20-6, 12-5) fell in heartbreaking fashion to the No. 14 Minnesota Gophers Friday night at Sports Pavilion on the campus of the University of Minnesota. The Huskers dropped the match 3-2 (12-25, 25-15, 25-22, 19-25, 19-21) in front of 5,368 in attendance. The match marked Nebraska's seventh five set match of the season.
Gina Mancuso led the Huskers on the night with 18 kills, while Hannah Werth notched 16 kills and Meghan Haggerty put away 10. Lauren Cook paced the offense with 47 assists, and Werth led the defense with 14 digs as Hayley Thramer recorded seven blocks.
Nebraska notched a .263 hitting percentage in the match, while the Gophers posted a .287 hitting percentage. The Huskers out-blocked Minnesota 11-10, but were out-dug 56-54.
Minnesota started the match with a 3-0 lead over NU, while a kill by Thramer put Nebraska within one at 7-6. The Gophers stretched their lead to 12-7 as Nebraska used its first timeout of the match. A string of runs gave Minnesota a 10 point lead at 18-8, and the Gophers went on to close out NU in the first set 25-12.
Haggerty and Mancuso both tallied two kills in the first set, but the Huskers hit .080 as a team. Minnesota came out of the gate with a .520 hitting percentage and out-blocked NU 3-1.
Nebraska came out fighting in the second set, taking a 4-0 lead as Minnesota used a timeout. A double-stuff block by Cook and Haggerty, followed by a hitting error on the Gophers put NU up 10-3. A kill by Werth made it 19-9, Huskers, as a kill from Thramer gave Nebraska the second set at 25-15.
Mancuso and Werth both had four kills in the second set, while Cook recorded nine assists. The Huskers hit .400 in the set, while Minnesota hit .138. Nebraska had two team blocks, while Minnesota had zero.
The two teams traded leads early in the third set, while a kill from Cook make it 8-6, Huskers. Nebraska went up 13-9 on a hitting error by the Gophers. Hitting errors continued to plague Minnesota as NU went up 17-11. A kill by Mancuso then gave Nebraska a 21-17 lead. Four set points later, Nebraska won the third set 25-22 and took a 2-1 lead in the match.
Mancuso notched four kills in the third set, while Breokhuis and Werth both had three and Cook paced the offense with 13 assists. Nebraska hit .379 in the set, holding Minnesota to a .281 hitting percentage.
Nebraska went up 3-0 in the fourth set on back-to-back kills by Broekhuis, while a kill from Werth made it 6-2, Huskers. An 8-0 run by the Gophers put them up 10-7, but a block from Cook and Thramer put Nebraska within one at 12-11. An ace by Dykstra tied the set at 16-16, but Minnesota regained the lead at 19-18. The Gophers would prove to be too much for the Huskers to handle down the stretch, as they went on to win the fourth set 25-19.
Mancuso and Broekhuis each had four kills in the fourth set, while Werth notched three. Cook had 12 assists, pushing NU to a .290 hitting percentage for the set. Minnesota hit .364, and both teams had two team blocks.
Three hitting errors by the Gophers helped Nebraska to a 4-1 lead in the fifth set. A solo block by Werth put NU up 6-2, but Minnesota came inching back on a 5-0 run to tie the set at 7-7. Minnesota led 11-8, but Nebraska came back to tie the set at 12 after back-to-back kills by Mancuso. Both teams would not quit, but seven match points later, Minnesota came out on top 21-19 and took the match 3-2.
Next up the Huskers will face the Wisconsin Badgers on Sunday, Nov. 18 at 1 p.m. at the UW Fieldhouse.

Oliver Springs native Janelle Arthur said goodbye to the "American Idol" competition Thursday night, but she'll be touring this summer with the "American Idol Tour" — which includes a stop in Knoxville.
Oliver Springs native Janelle Arthur said goodbye to the "American Idol" competition Thursday night, but she'll be touring this summer with the "American Idol Tour" — which includes a stop in Knoxville.
The 23-year-old received the fewest votes last week. "Idol" judges have the ability to "save" a contestant who receives the fewest votes, but only one time per season and all four judges have to be in agreement. The judges reportedly split 2-2 on saving Janelle.
Judge Keith Urban tweeted to Janelle after the show, "I fought for ya."
Also tweeting to Janelle was judge Mariah Carey: "I love your personality and your spirit. You're truly a good person at heart. Keep singing & don't ever be discouraged. God bless."
"American Idol" tweeted a combination of quotes made by judge Randy Jackson on the show, "This has been the toughest debate. There are 2 for and 2 not for....We love, love, love you."
TV Guide reported that Dolly Parton sent Janelle a note complimenting her performance Tuesday night of Dolly's song "Dumb Blonde," and telling her not to feel "a bit bad" that Urban didn't "feel" the performance.
"For her Save Me song, Janelle opted to revisit her own arrangement of 'You Keep Me Hangin' On,' her strongest song in the competition from Motown Week," TV Guide reported. "And even though she didn't have her guitar with her this time, she still gave a knock-out performance. But it wasn't enough, and the judges couldn't come to a unanimous decision to use the save, so Janelle was sent home."
On the "American Idol" website, officials stated, "We said goodbye to country cutie Janelle Arthur at the end of this week's results show and boy was it hard to say farewell to the charming singer. Lucky for us we got to see Janelle perform one last time on the 'Idol' stage ... Janelle will surely be missed. ..."
This is the third time Janelle has competed on "American Idol" and being in the Top Five has been her highest level on the show.
Over the weekend, Janelle was flying to New York City for TV appearances. She will appear:
• On "LIVE with Kelly and Michael" on WVLT-TV Channel 8 at 9 a.m. today (Monday, April 22);

I think that is at the crux of this issue. Yet, who do we trust to answer such a question? A Sammasambuddha? An arahant? A non-returner? A once-returner? A stream-entrant? A Thera? Ourselves? How can we validate the "enlightenment credentials" of people who claim to be such?Manapa wrote:does the Abhidhamma (or anyother supposidly Buddhavacana) fit with the teachings leading to liberation or do they deviate from the path?
"Fit with" is also an interesting term. Does it mean, on one hand, "the most profound explanation, as explained by a Buddha", or on the other hand, "not inconsistent with the teachings of the Buddha". Again, people may have different expectations. Who do we trust to determine fit?

Oh, give me a freaking break. How delusional are you? Let's compare their stats. I'll even cherry-pick Bradford's best stats regardless of what year they're from.
Wilson: 64.1% completion rating, 7.9 yard average, 26 TDs, 10 ints, 33 sacks, 100 passer rating.
Bradford: 60.00% completion rating, 6.7 yard average, 21 TDs, 6 ints (only played half the season in that year, though), 34 sacks, 82.6 passer rating.
That's right, in 3 years, Bradford hasn't had a single major stat as good as the ones from Wilson's rookie season. Hell, in Bradford's half-season last year he STILL took more sacks (36) than Wilson did in a full 16 games in his ROOKIE year! Also remember that I picked Bradford's BEST stats from his whole NFL career to date, not all the ones from his best year.
This isn't even debatable. Bradford has to improve by a good margin to even have a reasonable discussion about holding Wilson's jockstrap.
Good Lord, some of you Rams fans are delusional. You have a nasty case of "Luck-itis"; Bradford was the #1 overall pick, so he has to be awesome. Yeah, right.
Haha your retort was off base. I made a prediction of this season, and you went back to last season. How many times do I have to say this year's Rams and last year's are not comparable?
This is a list of new starters on offense in comparison to last season this time last year.
Last year ----this year
Slot WR-Ammendola/Austin
Dude, that is super close to being an upgrade across the board. That's 6 out of 11 starting spots rotated or changed all together. You know your Seahawks, but you don't know the Rams worth a darn. On top of that, I question your ability to come up with an original idea. Anyone can look up the stats. Im happy stats mean everything to you and losing in the Playoffs was so easily brushed off.

Back in the 1970s, Guy Pelletier, a lawyer, and his Irish-born wife, Val Behan, decided to build a house in the Eastern Townships. They made a pretty good job of it, but it was deep in the countryside, near Tomifobia, and by the time the 1980s rolled around, they had acquired a sailboat, which they kept on Lake Massawippi. Going to and from the cottage was a bit of a drive, so in 1983 the couple decided to look for a more convenient second home, preferably on the water.
"We wanted a place on Lake Memphremagog, but even then, property at the Magog end was pretty pricey," Pelletier said. "We started exploring the back roads near the Vermont border because that area was cheaper."
As luck had it, the couple came across a fisherman's shack tucked away in the trees, in the middle of a very steep hill. (The owner had rigged up a primitive railway, which was evidently being used to transport things up and down.) The shack, which had an outdoor toilet, had three tiny windows walled in by stands of hemlock and pine; but it had one major thing going for it: the location. Perched above the lake, the building had access right down to the water's edge.
"Our real-estate agent tried to deter us from buying what was basically a dump," Pelletier recalled. "He kept trying to show us fancier cottages, but we could see the potential of this place even though it was in rough shape. After the usual dickering over price, we got it for $35,000. That included a hectare of land and 87 metres of waterfront."
The couple has turned the "dump" into a stunning beach house whose market value is now close to $800,000.
Over the past decade, as the northern Memphremagog shore has been built up (condos and second homes have sprouted like mushrooms), the "cheap" end of the lake has evolved into a prime area for high-end real estate.
The couple's first job was to build a road down to the property because having already built one house, they knew months (in fact, years) of hard graft lay ahead.
Transporting everything, from truckloads of wood to furniture, would be well nigh impossible without proper access to the building. The road was followed by a well and a septic tank.
"I was up for the challenge," Pelletier said.
"My father taught me everything I know. He was one of those old-fashioned Quebecers descended from farming stock who used to build everything themselves. He was actually an air-traffic controller, but he still had that passion for construction which I have inherited."
Behan, a retired biologist, pointed out it is not a passion she shares though, she said with a laugh, she was always happy to help.
Initially, their idea was to simply modernize their second home, but as time went on, it became clear even to Pelletier that whipping it into shape might be more complex than that.
One of the first problems emerged during the early stages.
"Shortly after we took possession, the cottage was attacked by woodpeckers! They almost demolished the place. One wall ended up with so many holes I thought somebody had been firing off an air pistol."
The pair tried everything to frighten away the pesky birds - from recording terrifying sounds and playing them back at full volume (Behan's biology background came in handy) to installing fake predators to scare them off.
Eventually, the woodpeckers went on their way, but by then the couple had decided to bite the bullet and enlarge the whole building.
The beach house evolved organically. There was no set plan. Nor did the couple use an architect (though a couple of local workers helped out from time to time). Rather, they worked within the constraints of the site, improvising as they went. They ended up expanding the original building to 2,200 square feet, adding two more storeys and cladding the exterior with vertical wood siding to replace the old cedar shingles.
As the revamped shack marched up the shore, it soon became evident that Pelletier and Behan would need to raise the top of the building.
"One weekend we had a guest, a colleague of mine from Russia," Behan recalled.
"He was astonished to see Guy clambering around on the roof. He pointed out that in his country you hired tradesmen, not a lawyer, for such chores. Once he got over his surprise, he presented us with some black bread, caviar and vodka and that certainly helped the construction along!"
Converting a rundown shack into a stunning beach house has been more than a labour of love. It has been years in the making.
Although it's been well over two decades since the couple started on their construction project, they have added something new to the building almost every year.
The exterior, for example, now has three multi-level terraces overlooking Lake Memphremagog.
On hot days, the temperature on the upper deck, shaded by mature trees, can be 10C to 15C cooler than that on the lower deck. ("Natural air conditioning," according to Pelletier.)
The interior also evolved step by step.
The open-plan dining room and kitchen are on the first floor, continuing the visual "flow" from the outside terraces. The second storey has two bedrooms, which lead, in turn, to an upper-storey master bedroom, a home office and a bathroom with a large triangular bath.
On the ground floor is the hallway, off which are a utility room, a workshop/storage space and a bathroom.
The hallway leads to a reading area with a 12-metre high ceiling, a burgundy leather sofa and black enamel woodstove on which is perched a brass camel stirrup - a present from Morocco.
Opposite the sofa is a textile wall hanging, bought when Pelletier and Behan were on holiday in Peru.
The house is scattered with other interesting artifacts, but what makes it special is the decor, best described as Scandinavian chic: simple but elegant.
Everywhere you look there is wood - gleaming cherry floors, polished balustrades and glowing ceilings of pine. The walls are buttercup yellow, mustard and white, making the house look sunny and bright, even on a day when mist shrouds Lake Memphremagog.
From having only three tiny panes out of which one couldn't see the water because of the wall of trees, the building now has 35 windows and glass doors, drenching the interior with light.
"Our main goal was to bring the outdoors inside," Pelletier explained.
"I think that we've succeeded. No matter which room you're in, you can see the lake and each view is different."

A lawsuit filed against the Heber Springs School District ended two weeks ago in the U.S. District Court in Batesville.
A lawsuit filed against the Heber Springs School District ended two weeks ago in the U.S. District Court in Batesville. Roger and Dawn Fires on behalf of "Child Doe" against the Heber Springs School District filed a complaint in 2011 with the court, Superintendent Russell Hester (individually and in his capacity as Superintendent), Ginger Wallace (individually and as Principal of the high school), and Brad Reese (individually and as Assistant Principal of the High School). Roger and Dawn Fires alleged that the school district violated the child's civil rights and due process when they suspended and punished the child for an incident the previous year.
According to the case file, on April 1, 2010 the Heber Springs Girls Softball Team were returning from an out of town game when the girls on the bus pulled an "April Fool's Day" prank on another girl riding in a separate vehicle. The suit states that several members on the bus called the girl in the other vehicle and told her the "bus had been involved in a motor vehicle accident before the group of teammates on the bus shouted, 'April Fools', and then hung up the phone." 'Child Doe' then called the girl again to make sure she understood the call was only a prank. The suit also claimed that the girls told the coach about the prank upon exiting the bus, but no reprimands were given out.
The suit went on to say that all of the girls involved in the prank were called into the office the next day and Wallace instructed them to separately write down their account of the previous night's incident. 'Child Doe' was later called back to the office and suspended. The suit also claimed that the child was forced to 'publicly clean and detail District school busses without recourse of pay, which included the use of chemicals that were harmful and toxic without instruction and proper equipment.
The Fires claimed that the actions taken against the girl violated her right to due process and unfairly affected her right to an education under the law.
The jury trial for the case began March 18 and lasted four days. Three days prior, the case against Wallace and Reese were dismissed without prejudice. After almost four hours of deliberation on March 21, the jury found in favor of the Fires; however, the financial settlement for the Fires was only in the amount of $1.00.
"The jury found us lacking in procedure and to that effect we lost," said Superintendent Hester. "The verdict shows, in my opinion, that the jury recognized that the lawsuit was frivolous."

Thursday night was a heartbreaking night for basketball fans in this area. Both Truman State teams lost and the Missouri Tigers lost as well.
Thursday night was a heartbreaking night for basketball fans in this area. Both Truman State teams lost and the Missouri Tigers lost as well.
The Missouri Tigers may have all their players back but something is still missing. Texas AandM is not a bad team but they aren't a particularly good team either. Missouri was once a very good team who over the past three weeks have become mediocre at best. Phil Pressey has either forgotten how to play the game of basketball or there is something else going on with him because he looks like he is playing another game shomewhere else and only drops by occasionally to participate in Mizzou's games. Quite honestly at this point I wish he wouldn't even bother to drop by at all. Missouri did make a fierce comeback late in the second half and had a chance to win it at the end but it was a comeback they never should have had to make. You can make the excuse that Missouri has never played well at Texas AandM but the fact still remains that Missouri is underachieving in a major way right now and they not only have yet to get a road win in the SEC but are about to undertake the toughest part of their schedule and simply must start playing better to have any chance of winning most of their remaining games. Ole Miss comes to Columbia tomorrow for a rematch of a game played a month ago where Missouri played one of their worst games of the year. That appeared to be kind of a spring board for Ole Miss who have been playing much better of late while Missouri has taken a couple of steps back. Hopefully being back in Mizzou Arena will give the Tigers the edge they need.
The Truman State Bulldogs road trip got off to a bad start on Thursday night with both teams losing at Pittsburg State. The women had one of their worst offensive games of the year against a very good Pitt State team while the men once again did everything but win. The men led a good portion of the game before coming up a little short at the end and losing by four points. Both teams will be in action on Saturday at Northeastern Oklahoma which is not in mid America MIAA.
The Truman State football team had a very good signing day this past Wednesday with some tremendously gifted student athletes committing to play football in Kirksville. In looking at the list of signees it appears that several of them could step into the program and make an immediate impact. The Bulldogs coaching staff have to be pleased with the group of young men headed into the program.
In one of the few good things to happen in college basketball the Kansas Jayhawks have now lost two games in a row as they went down to defeat at the hands of the TCU Horned Frogs on Wednesday night. I had forgotten that TCU even played in the Big Twelve and obviously Kansas did too.
Both Kirksville High School basketball teams are in action on Friday night as they take on the Mexico Bulldogs for Court Warming. The boys are looking to get back on the winning track while the girls look to continue their impressive season by beating a team they handily beat earlier in the year.
The KHS wrestling team is headed to St. Charles for districts this weekend. I would not be at all surprised if they not only win the team title but the entire team qualifies for the state tournament in Columbia.
We'll be back on Monday with a look back at all this weekend's sports action and a look ahead to what's coming up next week. Who knows, maybe Kansas will lose again. Thanks as always for your support of this blog and please support all the blogs on this site.
Have a terrific weekend!

YREKA – As the nation turns its attention to recent cases of mass shootings, local school officials are devising safety and response plans to ensure their students' safety in the event of a violent incident on school grounds.
County-wide school district superintendents gathered in Yreka Tuesday morning to meet with Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey and Lt. Mark Hilsenberg and gain insight into the development of an effective safety plan for their respective districts.
"These are challenging times we are living in right now," commented Hilsenberg, adding it is sad that officials have to hold a meeting to discuss prevention measures of this nature. "I know this seems overwhelming … We are not trying to instill fear; we are trying to share knowledge."
Lopey noted that many county school districts already have a safety plan in place, and deputies have recently visited many schools to review and analyze these plans.
However, Lopey stated some of the understaffed districts have had difficulty updating their safety plans. He suggested that each district begin by identifying realistic threats and then basing the plans around those threats. When districts fully develop their plans, he recommended that they participate in safety drills.
Lopey also pointed out that a small percentage of county residents suffer from mental health and drug problems. He urged attendees to be aware of the histories of parents, students and others affiliated with the respective districts and to report suspicious behaviors to law enforcement, and/or the behavioral health department, for intervention. Lopey said districts should be aware of all active restraining orders and, in general, expand communication about crisis situations – such as domestic violence – among the families they serve.
Regarding the recent mass shootings, Lopey stated that many of the school staff members at those institutions were familiar with the perpetrators, and "most of the time there are warning signs" staff should be aware of.
Hilsenberg commented that the sheriff's office will conduct wellness checks on families at the request of district staff, and these checks are a good opportunity for officials to meet parents and identify potential problems.
"We must adopt a new mindset and be alert of our surroundings at all times," Lopey stated. He explained that maintaining alertness and avoiding complacency is critical in deterring criminals from targeting a facility. Furthermore, he shared that during his anti-terrorist training when he was in the military, he learned that criminals will often target organizations that appear to lack security measures.
First and foremost, Lopey stated that all school districts should provide a school map to local law enforcement agencies. In Siskiyou County, the first responding officers are trained to enter the facility immediately to mitigate the situation.
Furthermore, Lopey stressed the importance of all school faculty, staff and volunteers to receive training on the planned procedures in the event of a school tragedy.
Hilsenberg pointed out that when tragedy strikes, it is very common for people to panic and fail to remember the steps they must take to mitigate a dangerous situation, and sometimes they can barely think to call 9-1-1. He suggested that each faculty and staff member be trained to do two things in the event of a shooting – because the more actions one person is delegated to take, the harder it will be for him or her to remember in the heat of the moment.
Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office Chaplain Keith Bradley stated that safety plans should include measures for parents' response in the event of a tragedy. He said there should be a meeting place for parents at the school following a potential tragedy where they may obtain information about the incident and safely reunite with their children.
Hilsenberg reiterated that sheriff's deputies will visit schools to assist with drills and safety planning.
"Let's be as prepared as we can be," said Lopey. He added that rather than developing a safety plan as a "knee-jerk reaction" to national tragedies, districts should develop long-term plans to ensure the long-term security of their school facilities, students and staff.

Recently, there has been a lot of commentary in board meetings, letters to the editors, Albuquerque news and on social media about Dolores school district 4A administration's actions to uphold and improve the safe learning environments at our schools. We have posted all of the policies supporting our actions on the district's website along with a link to the SPIRIT curriculum provided by the U.S. Justice Department and the letter from our middle school/high school principal, Brandon Thurston, to parents, explaining events and actions prior to the winter break.
If you have questions, or concerns about the actions taken here in Dolores schools, I encourage you to read the information on our website. The short answer is, school administration has to provide the safest learning environment possible for students and staff. If that includes the banning of symbols that disrupt the educational process by igniting fear, hatred and violence, then we will do so. To end on a positive note, this public commentary has produced a conversation among students, staff, parents and community beyond the boundaries of the Dolores School District that will hopefully provide our wonderful community with a refreshed understanding and a greater acceptance of diversity. "Dolores is too great for hate!"
