Responses by Susan Mack and Rebecca Buhl. Every small Christian Science Branch Church or Christian Science Society has to face this question: "What are we going to do about music? Can we figure out a way to have live music or do we need to use recordings?"
This week's question about church
Your questions—your Church community's answers. Each week, we'll feature a new question from the Field, with responses from two experienced spiritual thinkers to kick off the discussion. Next, it's your turn to help bring new insights, ideas, and solutions to light by posting a comment or participating in our discussion forums.
Responses by Anne Cooling and John Biggs. This is a good question and your compassion will guide your church as to how to best address the needs of the youth in your community. There is very little in the Manual of The Mother Church about what not to do and what to do in terms of the By-Laws related to Sunday School (see p. 62). However, Mary Baker Eddy did provide us with a powerful, timeless structure to her different audiences: The Mother Church, branch churches, and Christian Scientists, as we are obedient to it. The inspiration that fills that structure, she left to branch churches' unfoldment.
Week 43: "The Bible talks about Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding and wine being served at the Last Supper, yet the Christian Science religion doesn't allow for drinking wine or other alcoholic beverages. Why is that?"
Responses by Ginny Luedeman and Kate Johnson. For me, anything that interferes with clear thinking is an enemy, whether it's alcohol, drugs, or addictions of any kind. I love to think clearly. It has brought forth the ideas that God gives us as His loved creation and has brought light and healing radiance in my life.
Week 42: "When a church membership has been reduced to a mere handful and the burden of keeping things going tries to overwhelm, how do you re-engage and re-focus the remaining members?"
Responses by Jon Benson and Jacklyn Williams. Church members and community can thrive without thought for thriving, focused instead on living church everywhere, all the time, and at this moment.
Responses by Lois Carlson and Dave Stevens. To me, being members of the body of Christ means we find our unity in our shared experience with Christ. Christ is working among us and in the hearts of each member. This secures branch churches on the Rock of Christ and shows how the whims and weaknesses of human organization can be neutralized.
Week 40: I want to join the church, but, I'm fearful of giving up my blood pressure medication; even though I know that because all is spiritual, it's really not needed. How will I know when to join the church?
Responses by John Q. Adams and Lisa Troseth. Often, joining a Christian Science church is a big step because one is going public with his or her commitment to the teachings of Christ. These teachings emphasize, not simply a belief in God, but an understanding of God as infinite Life, Truth, and Love. And because Jesus' teachings promise mankind a full salvation from sin, disease, and death through one's understanding of God, they require much of their followers. In Science and Health, Mary Baker Eddy wrote, "A great sacrifice of material things must precede this advanced spiritual understanding" (p. 16). This sacrifice has to do with surrendering the declaration of the material senses as being absolute, and a strong affirmation of God, infinite Mind, as being real and all-inclusive.
This understanding and our desire to prove it, does not have to be accompanied with fearful apprehension.
Week 39: My question is calling out for an answer. Why do you not provide practical answers? Don't we need to move our feet and do more humanly?
Responses by Melanie Daglian and Curt Wahlberg. However, in defense of Christian Scientists who you think "just" sit and pray, and also with the hope of encouraging us all in a bigger demonstration of good, I'll mention that about 20 years ago when I started getting quite involved with the church and in the practice of Christian Science, I deeply explored your same question. . .And to make a long story short, over the course of several years, I found that in fact, my prayer and our collective prayers were essentially what would enable any progress for the church and humanity.
Week 38: "Would using an electronic version of the Bible and Science and Health that was perhaps authorized by the Church be acceptable to read from?
Responses by Mike Davis and Annette Dutenhoffer. Without a doubt, the definition of a book has changed to include the digital or e-book along with our traditional type of paper books. Many are finding this new form of reading helpful. For example, most computer literate students of Christian Science have experienced the value of Concord—the e-concordance to the Bible, Christian Science Hymnal, and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy. But do these new e-books have a place in our church services?
Week 37: "I've had some heartbreaks and made some mistakes in my life. Is it appropriate to share with others what I've gained from practicing Christian Science although I'm not practicing its teachings perfectly?"
Responses by Mark Swinney and Anna Bowness-Park. There are many angles from which to respond to this question, but the short answer is, yes! Yes, it is entirely appropriate to share with people how you've been blessed. In fact, it's appropriate to pray for opportunities to do so.
Week 36: Respectful differences of opinion can and should be productive, but why are there sometimes furious arguments over the way church members and practitioners conduct themselves?
Responses by Melanie Wahlberg and James Spencer. I appreciate your desire to see progress in this area, and I think it's reasonable to feel hopeful. In fact, I recently witnessed a large-scale discussion about the order of service in Christian Science branch churches, and I was encouraged (as were others) by the amicable tone of the lengthy discussion. Although the topic was important, it's probably safe to say that any of our individual salvations depended on the outcome of the discussion. However, the qualities that were expressed on either side—softened hearts, humility, a dedication to church, intelligence, self-discipline, and childlikeness—were tangible supports to salvation.
Week 35: "How can we keep the holiness of God always present in all church activity, (i.e. keep God as the center of all our activities)? And if we did, wouldn't this necessarily result in our communities likewise reflecting God, Love, as the center of their lives?"
Responses by Peter Jackson Maryl Walters. I remember a church service I attended a while ago, where I learned an important point. During the lesson-sermon it appeared that no matter how much I tried to concentrate on the words being spoken, I couldn't stop my thoughts from wandering away on to unrelated matters. This went on for some time until eventually I paused to examine my own thinking. Was there any joy there? Any love? Hmm…I had to admit I could do better!
Week 34: "What do various Christian Science churches do to indicate they're Christian—decorating their buildings, for example—during holiday seasons?"
Responses by Janet Hegarty and Susan Collins. There is no rule against decorating our church buildings at Christmas, and as your question thoughtfully points out, the community may wonder why a Christian church does not publicly appear to celebrate Christmas. We would want to choose these decorations wisely, however, to ensure that they reflect the spiritual sense of our celebration.
Week 33: "Even to those not well-informed, the similarities between Christian Science and New Thought seem obvious. My question is why the schism? In this age of ecumenism, it seems to me that a merger of New Thought/Science of Mind/Christian Science movements would be mutually beneficent in the long run. Or, at the very least, a close association of these organizations would be greatly beneficial. So, why is there no such movement?"
Responses by Giulia Nesi and Scott Putnam. Mary Baker Eddy herself had a love for all who loved God and a deep respect for each individual's spiritual practice. Undoubtedly, Mrs. Eddy earnestly desired that Christian Science be widely known and that her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures be read and the spiritual principles utilized by individuals wherever they were on their spiritual path. In fact, she dedicated Science and Health to "…honest seekers for Truth" (Science and Health, p. xii).
I have found though, that as you dig more deeply into the foundational teachings of New Thought and those of Christian Science and clarify the meaning behind the language used for spiritual concepts, there emerges fundamental differences and distinctions which would make merging them difficult to do.
Week 32: "Since the Church Manual provides that no less than 16 people, including one Journal-listed practitioner, can organize as a church, do you think we should be 'branching out' to form more churches, rather than consolidating into fewer, larger churches with several practitioners and many members?"
Responses by Tim Mitchinson and Wendy Wylie Winegar. While the decisions raised in the question are all individual—and I would be out of place to tell another church what it should do—I do know that the purpose of each Church of Christ, Scientist, is to heal the ills of its community. This has nothing to do with numbers. Jesus even commented, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20).
The real question for each individual Christian Science congregation is, are we affording proof of our utility by rousing the dormant understanding in our congregation and community (see the definition of Church, Science and Health, p. 583)?
Week 31: "How do you feel about members attending church with their pets? It's an issue that challenges me."
Responses by Tad Blake-Weber and Manya Kaseroff-Smith. First let me say I can empathize somewhat with your sentiment of having pets at church. I haven't actually experienced a service where an animal was present. So, I must admit I would be surprised to see a pooch in a pew. On the other hand, to me, church is a place of inclusion. Often people come to church holding on to something not as blatant (or as cute!)—fear about money, addiction, illness, or anxiety.
Week 30: "How does one respond to a friend who is not familiar with Christian Science about paying practitioners? I had a discussion with a friend the other day who was surprised that my religion has individuals that take money for prayer. I felt inadequate to defend or answer her questions."
Responses by Rich Evans and Ruth Geyer. Jesus dispatched his disciples to heal based on what he had taught them—to love God, the divine healing Principle, and to love their neighbors so completely that they could remove ills without harm and affirm the presence of the kingdom of heaven, the presence of harmony in every place he sent them. He advised they should remain to be fed by their hosts because, "The labourer is worthy of his hire" (Luke 10).
Week 29: "Is there any reason we should or should not rent our branch church building to members or others wanting to hold a wedding or memorial service there?"
Responses by Jim Corbett and Joy Carr. A branch church's full round of activities reflects the unrestricted spiritual idea of Church unfolding to the congregation overall. The direction the demonstration of that idea takes varies from branch to branch. Thus, agreeing on permissible uses of our edifices is a matter of prayer more than of policy.
Week 28: "During the last 50 years while so called evangelical, Pentecostal, and charismatic churches have grown—some substantially—the 'main line' churches have dwindled. While Christian Science is not considered 'main line' and doesn't publish membership figures, it's widely perceived that its numbers have dwindled substantially. What is the church doing to reverse this troubling trend, and why has it happened to a church which by the very revolutionary nature of its teaching ought to have weathered rather well the disenchantment with 'main line' denominations?"
Responses by Kate Sims and Ethel Baker. Here's an exciting thought—we don't need to wait for "the church" to do anything—we are the church!
Week 27: "Our church is reaching out to the community in many ways, but our Reading Room has moved back into the church, and the Reading Room hours are very limited. We spend mega bucks on a Christmas program for the community complete with choir and brass band, but I question if we're truly sharing the "bread of life." We're very generous financially with the community, but it seems we're off course. My initial reaction is to wonder if all the work done on the Christmas program, etc., were given to lecture preparation, we would witness greater fruitage. My first reaction is to move my membership elsewhere, but I know that running from a problem is never the solution."
Responses by Eric Oyama and Jodi Crump Beatty. Great encouragement can to be found on page 1 of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures: "Desire is prayer; and no loss can occur with our desires, that they may be moulded and exalted before they take form in words and in deeds" (p. 1). Your sincere desire to share the Comforter with your community is one that you can trust with God. We have centuries of examples throughout the Bible to show that God takes care of His children no matter what obstacles confront them.
Week 26: "Could you give me some ideas on how a church can include those who are physically challenged? Our church has a chair lift in the hall but that's about all. There's a tendency to think that if we put in some structural aids, we might be accepting the physical difficulty, and not encouraging healing. What are other churches doing in this regard?"
Responses by Annette Dutenhoffer and Paul Grimes. In the Bible in the book of Mark chapter 2, you'll find an account that directly addresses this question. As church members, are we like the four friends who loved their friend with the palsy enough to take down a roof and lower him into a building where Jesus was? They knew the presence of the Christ was there to heal their friend. Shouldn't we also be willing to remove the stumbling blocks for our fellowman, so they can experience healing in our church services?
Week 25: "Church Alive seems to be saying that participation in church work is necessary for spiritual advancement. Where does that leave people who feel too ill or too old to do physical church work? Does that mean they are less spiritual than church workers? I don't think so. My experience is that the more "church work" people do, the less they're interested in the true work of Christian Science, i.e. healing and loving their neighbors, as they are too busy on committees, etc. (I've been a church member for over 50 years.)"
Responses by Daniel Scott and Janet Clements. To some degree it depends what one means by church work. Church is all about loving our neighbor, elevating the race, and healing the sick. True church work is doing the true work of Christian Science collectively. No one is ever too ill or too old to engage in this kind of church work.
Week 24: "Mary Baker Eddy said that most Christian churches would approach the truths of Christian Science by the year 2000 [see Pulpit and Press, p. 22:9]. What I believe is true about Mrs. Eddy's prophecy is that world thinking is approaching those truths, albeit slowly. I also believe we need to be in a local church (building), exercising our high standards of ethics, morals, love, and truth. It shouldn't matter if that church is not a Christian Science church if Mrs. Eddy is to be proved right. Occasionally, I attend the local Church of England-- two minutes away. I have read some biblical passages in the church and found that my voice has resonated through the church more effectively than it ever did in my former job where I often spoke publicly. I spend a lot of time on the reading so I'll convey what I believe to be the inspired word. Is this a way forward? Or am I deluding myself? My other choice is to travel over 20 miles to a Christian Science church where the numbers are also declining and there is little apparent progress going on."
Responses by Anthony Whitehouse and Michelle Nanouche. Sharing Christian Science in the way you do is entirely admirable. Posing this question as you do demonstrates a great love for Christian Science and its future progress. Without that love no progress is going to be made on any front. Nonetheless my sense is that we need to be consistent in the way we go about things. We need to go beyond a personal sense of what it is "comfortable" to a point where we tackle the issue of decline head-on.
Week 23: Mary Baker Eddy appreciated and utilized the modern innovations of her day. Is it appropriate to integrate technology into our churches? And if 'yes,' how can we more effectively do this? The Mother Church has been working to make it easier for Christian Scientists all around the world to tune in and understand Christian Science better via the web, but how can we do that on a more local basis?
Responses by Steven Salt and Sabrina Stillwell. Google, texting, Twitter, Yammer, Skype, Facebook, You Tube, Vodpod, and Flickr are just a handful of ways people are talking to each other in 2011. And it's not just chatter. There is real learning going on. Should this technology be used by our churches? It already is.
Week 22: "I think many young people don't transition from Sunday School to church because young people are not used to sitting and listening to someone read to them for 30 to 40 minutes. Is there any reason why the 'Present Order of Services in The Mother Church and Branch Churches' listed for the Sunday service (see Church Manual, pp. 120-121) isn't being looked at for possible updating?"
Responses by Lyn Smith and Michael Fish. For me this question of transition from Sunday School to church is really more about preparation rather than needing to change the order of services.
Week 21: When I adopted my daughter I agreed to give her medical treatment when needed. Medical treatment was unnecessary for many years because she always experienced quick healings through Christian Science treatment. However when she got sick recently she did have medical care because I was unable to help her through Christian Science treatment. She continued to pray for herself with no results from either her prayers or from the medical help. She is very discouraged and thinks we have been cursed and God has abandoned us. She is used to the effective nature of Christian Science treatment, and because she cannot have Christian Science treatment while she is having medical treatment, she feels hopeless. Is there anything we can do?
Responses by John Minard and Rebecca Odegaard. Never doubt that turning to God—the divine Mother-Father of us all—when a child is ill is the best Motherly love you can bring to the situation.
As adoptive parents, too, my wife and I understand how our obligations to the state may play a role in health care decisions for our children. Like you, we want only the best possible care for them. So, if an illness occurs, we turn quickly to prayer, with the children praying, too. And, like you, we've had wonderful success! However, if things don't go as anticipated, or a hospital becomes involved, no one need ever think that Christian Science has failed, or that they've failed to live up to its standards.
Week 20: How can we bring more joy, life, brotherhood, charity, praise into our Sunday and Wednesday services? It's important to stay within the Church Manual provisions for our services, but it seems that the hour spent in church is so solemn and without the joy of a brotherly community coming together for praise, gratitude, and healing.
Responses by Julie Ward and Dave Stevens. Actually, there's nothing in the Manual provisions that precludes joy and brotherhood! In fact, these provisions provide a safe, stable "launching pad" for praise, gratitude, and healing. But we don't go to church to get these things, but to give them. So the real question becomes: How can I bring that spirit of love and joy into my daily practice of Christian Science?
Week 19: The Mother Church decided to remove the requirement that new members be free from alcohol and tobacco use. Many branch churches have not yet updated their membership applications accordingly. I think we should support new Christian Scientists who may be trying to quit smoking, for example, but need help and support with this. Others seem to think that new members should make this demonstration prior to being accepted as a church member. What do you think?
Responses by Dave Hohle and Cali McClure. A branch church I was a member of considered this question several years ago. We discussed the issues you mention, and eventually voted to simplify our application process that previously required applicants to be free from alcohol, tobacco, and drug use before they could become a member. The overriding consideration for us was what Mary Baker Eddy included (and didn't include) in The Mother Church membership application forms printed in the Church Manual of The Mother Church (see pp. 114, 116, 118).
Week 18: "As a lifelong Christian Scientist, I wonder sometimes why being a Scientist seems to be such a solo experience. Why are we not praying together in an organized way about particular problems?"
Responses by Colleen Douglass and Tony Lobl. I love the outward thought expressed in this question. You're so right that the world needs our prayers today as much as ever. Thank you for your compassion. As a lifelong Christian Scientist myself, I've loved both the solitary and the universal aspects of prayer. While we each commune with God on an individual basis, we pray with universal truths that apply to and surely bless all humankind.
Week 17: "We have wonderful Sunday School teachers. We have wonderful students. We're praying to have more of them! Any ideas?"
Responses by John Kohler and Dawn-Marie Cornett. Love is attractive! Or as Mary Baker Eddy says, "Love is reflected in love" (Science and Health, p. 17). To me the crux of Sunday School and teaching is the sharing of love.
Week 16: "How can my prayers and actions help improve unity in our church when others seem unresponsive, and my family loses its desire to attend church?"
Responses by Sandi Justad and Lois Herr. At the risk of being redundant, the bottom line is always love. When I have found myself in discouraging church situations, my prayer usually becomes, "Father, show me how to love more." And yes, it has sometimes been a prayer of desperation, when I'm at my wit's end. Then I have been reminded of the enthusiasm of one member, the love for little children of another, the handyman's generosity, the faithful attendance of another, and so on. These qualities I can love unconditionally because they represent what is real and true about each member.
Responses by Jill Gooding and Joel Magnes. You are right! There is no "group" consciousness, just one Mind expressing itself individually as man.
Mary Baker Eddy wrote of Jesus: "His mission was both individual and collective. He did life's work aright not only in justice to himself, but in mercy to mortals, — to show them how to do theirs, but not to do it for them nor to relieve them of a single responsibility" (Science and Health, p. 18).
Week 14: "What am I to do if the only branch church in my city is run by people who don't really represent Christian Science?"
Responses by Martha Moffett and Robert Ennemoser. The amazing thing about the Church of Christ, Scientist, that Mary Baker Eddy founded, is that it has a spiritual foundation and superstructure (meaning it is God-inspired). In that sense it is not like any other church in the world. In a certain sense, then, it's not dependent on the personalities of its members. Indeed, instead of the members changing the church, the church changes the members.
Week 13: I love Christian Science so much. But I still feel I fall short in living up to its high standards. I'd like to hear sometimes that you don't have to be perfect to be a student of Christian Science. This is a big reason why I'm not very involved in church.
Responses by David C. Kennedy and Jenny Lobl. Like Paul, we all have much yet to learn and demonstrate of Christ—the Truth exemplified in Jesus and revealed to this age in Christian Science. But full reliance on Christian Science for healing is natural at every stage of our spiritual progress. We're never too new or inexperienced to rely on it, because this Science is the Comforter promised by Jesus, which is available to all.
Week 12: "In the Church Manual (p. 120) the heading for the order of Sunday services and Wednesday meetings reads: "Present Order of Services in The Mother Church and Branch Churches." Does the use of the word 'present' imply that this order could or should be changed?
Responses by Olga Chaffee and Lyle Young. How do we measure ages? When does one start or end? Ages are marked by the degree of spiritual growth in the understanding of the nature of God and man, manifested in human affairs—such as education, health, government—and the organizations or institutions formed to implement them worldwide. . .So at present, it might be helpful to start by asking ourselves: Is our spiritual understanding of what our Pastor is imparting, and our demonstration of this understanding, such that it indicates we are now in an advanced age?
Week 11:"I can't help feeling that my branch church is more like what they say about a circus—that the show must go on. How can this trend be reversed prayerfully and practically?"
Responses by Ricardo Saldivar and Marilyn Perkinson. How wonderful to know we don't have to accept any erroneous view of church, church work, or fellow members! Mary Baker Eddy wrote in her book Unity of Good (p. 20:4), "We undo the statements of error by reversing them." In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, she wrote extensively of this important process of reversing error with statements like, "If you wish to know the spiritual fact, you can discover it by reversing the material fable, be the fable pro or con,—be it in accord with your preconceptions or utterly contrary to them" (p. 129). It's the spiritual fact about our branch church members and branch church work that is real.
Week 10: "Recently, PBS [Public Broadcasting System] aired a three-part documentary titled, "God in America." The program traced the history of religion in America from the landing of the Pilgrims in Provincetown, Massachusetts to the current era. I earnestly watched all episodes. I neither saw nor heard any mention of Mary Baker Eddy or Christian Science. This omission was quite surprising considering the impact of her work and the establishment of what has become a worldwide religion. The Mormans were also excluded. Why do you think this WGBH Boston-produced program excluded Christian Science?"
Responses from Ken Girard and Eric Nelson. You raise an interesting question and it's one that I think many people—not only Christian Scientists, but those from other faith traditions that began in America—have wondered about. The fact that the focus was primarily on religions of European origin would indicate to me that this was simply the view of the filmmaker, David Belton. . .That being said, we are still left with your concern as to how Mary Baker Eddy's impact on the world via Christian Science could have been omitted.
Week 9: "At this season, when so many are seeking the real spirit of Christmas, what do you do to find and keep the real spirit of Church?"
At this season, when so many are seeking the real spirit of Christmas, what do you do to find and keep the real spirit of Church?
Week 8: "I love my church and the fellow members, but we spend a lot of Wednesdays sitting mostly in silence during the testimony period. How can I pray about this?"
Responses by Tom Asher and Judi Bell. At the Wednesday meeting, and at various times through the week, I like to affirm that our church is "full"—full of unselfishness, full of inspiration, full of healing, full of gratitude. I think of each member and visitor as bursting with good, because I know God has not surrendered His control of anyone of us to some form of emptiness. The creator of abundant good is not the creator of lack. God forms us to be complete and not beguiled by evidence of limitation.
Week 7: "Would someone explain how it's possible to sacralize the writings of Mary Baker Eddy without deifying the author?"
Responses from James Spencer and Curt Wahlburg. In order to understand and effectively practice the Science of Christianity that Mary Baker Eddy discovered, one needs to understand its source, appearing, and authority. This understanding answers the question of the place Mrs. Eddy holds in relation to her discovery.
Week 5: "How can one develop a sense of church while living in a foreign country where there's no church or not one close to where you live?" If one does exist, the church services may be mostly in a foreign language, and in English maybe once a month. How does one create an atmosphere of church community when feeling alone and isolated and nowhere to go to church to share, except maybe online?
Responses by Susie Jostyn and Abigail Warrick. I love church and everything it has to offer: a rock-solid spiritual home, a warm feeling of family support, opportunities to give, the challenge to grow, practical solutions to all sorts of issues, and a gentle healing influence…just to name a few. So, it's important to me to experience these things wherever I go.
Responses by Robin Hoagland and Lindsey Biggs. I love the root word of community—commune: to talk together, to be unified together. Each church has opportunities to discover natural ways to connect with those who already come together for services.
Week 3: "How can a church navigate the different views between the more casual members and the more formal members?"
Responses by Judy Wolff and Mark Swinney. Navigating a church through the waters of conflicting viewpoints can be a rollicking, but ultimately, unifying adventure. Part of the adventure may be discovering what draws us to church. What really attracts people—whether attendees are old or young, liberal or conservative, casual or formal—is Christian Science.
Responses by Lois Carlson and Karl Sandberg. Think of the humility it must have taken for Nicodemus, a nationally known religious leader and Pharisee (also a member of the powerful Sanhedrin, a council of the 70 most outstanding Jews in Israel), to come to Jesus under cloak of night. Jesus explained that his teachings and healings were based on a clear understanding that the origin of life is Spirit. The conversation was earnest, but Jesus' answers were met with resistance and misunderstanding of what it meant to be born again. Great freedom was being offered Nicodemus to let go of his identity anchored in human history and live in the Christly relationship of sonship with God—to be new-born of Spirit.
Week 1: "It seems like all the churches I've been to have very few members, and most of them are older. How can you be confident that church is alive?"
Responses by Kevin Graunke and Barbara Pettis. As a Christian Science lecturer, I've visited scores of branch churches and societies in North America and, yes, I've attended services where the congregations were small and of "advancing years." Yet, I've also found frequently that the smaller the congregation the larger its vision, and the more alive its members' presence in the community.

Week 90: "It seems like there are many churches that are small and dealing with decline and others that are growing. My branch is sort of in the middle-- our membership numbers are reasonable, our finances are okay, but it feels like there's a sense of apathy that's set in. How can we wake up?"
Responses by Dawn-Marie Cornett and Robert Gilbert.
"How can we help our churches from being self-centered to being focused on loving our neighbors to the point that we become active participants in the community once again?"

Western New York is moving up in the latest national rankings of small-business vitality. The Buffalo area is now No. 29 out of 100 major metro areas. A year ago, Buffalo ranked 80th. The Business Journals based the report on a six-part formula, looking at the economy, expansions and the number of small businesses. While Buffalo saw a slight increase in the number of small businesses, most other areas saw declines. Researchers say most other areas also lost more jobs than Buffalo. Austin finished first thanks to a 20 percent jump in population and job growth. Modesto, CA is at the very bottom of the rankings.
A new convention is a blessing of sorts for downtown Buffalo. Business First says a religious gathering this week is expected to bring in $1 million. The Church of God and Saints of Christ is a Cleveland-based group that is spending six days at the Adam's Mark Hotel. More than 2,000 people are expected for a series of religious celebrations, coming from as far away as Bermuda, Great Britain and Jamaica. It begins tomorrow.

The pens we ordered were great! Our two color logo was excellent. Our customers love these pens and we can't keep enough on hand. We took 200 to a recent trade show and the pens were a huge hit. Everyone commented on how much they like the "fatter" pens. Our order arrived on time & in perfect shape. Thank you, InkHead!

The Industrial Pen is an excellent all-purpose black-ink pen. It is very durable and comfortable to hold with the rubber grip and ridges. InkHead was speedy in making and shipping the pen (about 1 week). This is my third order!

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Here's a theme I haven't seen before! Sexy Slow Motion has videos of cute girls that have been slowed way down so you can enjoy every move she makes in slow motion. Every bouncing boob and butt cheek can be appreciated bounce by bounce. Right off the bat I thought the theme was very original and couldn't wait to see what they had inside.
Exclusive content with unique theme.
These are all exclusive scenes unlike anything I've seen before. The girls jump, they smoke, the get wet with water balloons, they slap asses, they masturbate, they even play with silly string. After watching the scene in regular time, they replay it in slow motion. It's a great, original angle in a collection you won't see anywhere else.
Huge photos.
The pictures look good, and they can be enlarged up to 3000 x 2000. You lose a touch of the sharpness at that size, but you gain a lot of detail. If you like to zoom way in on these hotties' bodies, you're going to love these giant images.
Easy to navigate.
It was easy enough to get around the site. You can view the photos and videos by date and by rating and the model index is listed alphabetically. There's also a search tool with a list of categories, like water balloons, spanking, lesbians, and more. You'll have no trouble finding what you're looking for.
Other Good Stuff:
Not a huge collection.
Sexy Slow Motion isn't a bit site quite yet, with just 48 galleries and 102 videos. Now, you may be thinking 102 videos isn't bad at all, and it isn't. However, most of these scenes are only a couple minutes long so it still won't take long to see all of their exclusive stuff.
Average quality video.
The video quality is OK but not great. The mp4s play at around 1200k and are 512 x 384 in size. When you try to enlarge them at all, they get somewhat pixilated. On a site with a video focus like this, I expected sharper scenes.
Minor Negatives:
An entertaining collection with a unique theme, with room for a few small changes.
Sexy Slow Motion definitely gets points for originality. They've got a hot theme with an all exclusive collection. I'd love to see some HD movies added here; I think that would be huge for the site. Still, if the idea intrigues you, I think the collection is strong just as it is and worth a try!
About the Content:

Old Spice Commercials and suffix-fail•2010/05/07 • Leave a Comment
So I finally figured out why the new Old Spice commercial "Freshershist" bothers me. To quote, it uses a comparative/superlative pattern that follows: "Fresh" -> "Fresher" -> "Freshest" ->"Freshershist"
It's the last one that bothers me. There's a random ʃ insert in between the comparative suffix and the superlative – /frɛʃ/ + /ər/ + /ɛst/, but [frɛʃ +ər +ʃɨst]. Where does the fricative come from? It's a contrastive articulation from the rhotic, so it's not laziness.
Never mind that conceptually, it makes more sense to me to hear /frɛʃ/ + /ɛst/ + /ər/ – "freshester" (more freshest), since we're comparing the freshest options.

so she can be on the show
thanks! pass it on, so she gets a better chance of being on.
Hey, guys!
As we all know, Cassadee is going about putting out her EP all by herself: no studio backing and all of her own hard work. A lot of us have been with her since the beginning, and a lot have been with her since her solo project. No matter how long we've been fans, we all want her to succeed, and get the recognition that she deserves as an amazingly talented artist. Let's help her out and try to get her on one of the most fun shows out there, Ellen! Send in a recommendation for Cass and, hopefully, enough will come in that we can make this happen. Be a proud Cassette and show how much you believe in her by suggesting her!
As an added bonus, send your screenshots of your submission to us at firstname.lastname@example.com, and automatically be entered into winning a signed photo of Cass! It takes only a few minutes, and if this happens, it's a huge opportunity. This contest will end on May 13th, so send your stories and get your submissions in!
Thanks :)
- Jen
she was just having fun with the producers, she wasn't recording them or anything
Last December, Hey Monday broke the news they would be going on a hiatus and since then, vocalist Cassadee Pope has been hard at work on her new solo project. Now, Pope has officially entered the studio and is recording her debut solo EP.
Alter The Press had teamed up with Cassadee, where she will be reporting in with regular blogs and giving fans an update of what is happening from the studio.
Cassadee Pope: Hey guys! It has been an eventful journey for me since I decided to go solo back in January. I moved to LA, kept writing my ass off, met a ton of amazing new people, and really had some time to reflect on what I wanted. And the answer became more clear as time went on. I just want to release my music. Some of these songs have been in my back pocket for about a year. So you could imagine how anxious I am to have you all hear them! I know I've said in recent interviews that I want to come out with a debut full length, not an EP. But I've decided to do an EP because those are just cards I've been dealt. There is no label involved, or management, so it all relies on me. Which has been the most exhilarating and fulfilling experience. I do plan on releasing an EP every few months because I have a lot of material I want to show you! I've been lucky enough to have met the producers, Jason Gavi and Andrew Dixon a few weeks back while co-writing. We work extremely well together, and wrote one of my favorite songs I've ever written. So of course when I came up with the plan to record an EP, they were the first ones to pop into my head. We met up at a Coffee Bean (I was pulling for Starbucks but Gavi refused), talked it through and they were totally on board. We've had 3 days in the studio so far and the songs are sounding incredible. Naturally, I got sick the 2nd day in, so no vocals have been recorded yet. But we're taking care of everything else before I need to sing. I've been running a live stream on Stickam so I can keep the fans involved in every step. it's so amazing to see everyones excitement and support. it means the world to me. We have today off, some I'm focusing on getting better and resting. My mom and sister are actually flying in today, so expect to see them on Stickam tomorrow! Stay tuned for more updates, and don't forget to join me on stickam.com/cassadeepope.
Thanks to Alter The Press! for the continued support, and to you guys for believing in me. <3
From: Alter The Press
If you missed Cassadee's live chat today or you're just interested.. I got some shitty quick videos on my iPhone of a couple things because I wanted them for myself, but I posted them on my Twitter :) Sorry for the awful quality, but I guess they're better than nothing. So enjoy!

- Original Love
- Secondhand (formerly Secondhand Love)
- Told You So
- I Guess We're Cool

St. Peter's College (Jersey City, NJ): Baked Ziti
For us, St. Peter is associated less with Jersey City (home of St. Peter's College), and more with the City of Rome, where a basilica stands in his honor. We're not sure what the Romans ate when Jesus and Peter were hanging out, but we like to think it was classic Italian dishes like baked ziti.
Baked Ziti
1 pound ziti
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsps. olive oil
1 ball of fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Boil a pot of water, and cook ziti according to package instructions.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet, and cook garlic over low heat for a few minutes until fragrant.
3. Add tomatoes and cook until pasta is done.
4. Mix tomato sauce and pasta in a large bowl. Place half the pasta/sauce mixture in pre-greased pan.
5. Place half the mozzarella on top of pasta, and sprinkle half the parmesan cheese over that.

"The Bones of Industry: Photographs of Industrial Decay"Many of these photos were taken on my first ever photo walk. They've been reprocessed and brought back to life. Looking back on them, I'm excited to remember my first forays into photography, and that sense of adventure one feels when entering spaces that seem like parallel dimensions. This is why I love street photography; when you explore a strange new corner of the world, you can't un-explore it. You affect it, and it affects you.What's in focus doesn't need to be elaborate or grandiose, but the photograph's atmosphere should always be poignant. That's what I strive for. Simply admiring the strange geometry and eerie presence of dilapidated things is beautiful, to me.

I love seeing everyday things in moments of abandonment. If a structure is built by people for a purpose —and then those people disappear (subsequently taking it's purpose with them), is it still the same structure?Photographed at a ski resort off-season, on the summit of Grouse Mountain.

Everything was good. Staff,position, breakfast and the weather !
Nice safe neighborhood
Cleaning of bathroom was poor No easy access to Metro
Kitchen staff (TG especially) were very nice
But I cannot tell the same thing for the front desk.
Surly staff, incorrect information at desk, inconvenient parking system
The cleanliness, house keeping facilities and the cordial behavior of the staff specially at front desk.
I planned to checkout a day earlier pass on this information to the hotel authorities even then they charge me a night because they inform me that my room is booked by the third party so you have to pay or if I booked the same room direct then they don't charge and refund me the amount.
they helped when my flight was cancelled from Ohare and didnt charge me for rm one night. Always called me by name every day
Outstanding services provided by staff, esp. Moyses, Bryant, Fashon, Manny, Zac. Definitely will come back.
Friendliness Easy access to downtown DC Service excellent
Rooms were very nice but could use some upkeep
Farther then I wanted from location of meetings I was there to attend but otherwise great hotel.
room had been smoked in, sink was clogged, toilet was dubious
Clean room, updated room, updated hotel, good service, free WiFi, professional staff, free coffee & snacks, free shuttle will take you 1.5 miles
Close to restaurants, quiet location, friendly and helpful staff, close to public transport where else in the world would you pay $1 on a bus to travel into the the heart of Washington and a very informative driver re tourism.
see above
Restaurant food. Poor selections and poor quality.
Your hospitality and friendly staff.
The food.
Circulator bus just outside door made travel to Downtown simple
The comfy beds!
The front desk lady was kinda rude.
The location was excellent and you could walk to major stores plus the buses ran pretty much all the time. It was clean and comfortable. The concierge was very nice and helpful. The housekeeping and room service were efficient
For the price, they could have considered giving complimentary breakfast. The cost of parking was a bit steep and exploitative at $30 per night. I ended up spending 4 nights so you do the maths. The staff acted put upon when you were making enquiries from them which was quite annoying and I had to move to a new room for my last night. They were unable to accommodate me at my old room. That was a bit of a drag. I left an item in the old room and till I left, no one in the lost and found department was available to give me any sort of information or help me find what I left.
Staff was very helpful. Rooms were clean and nice. Great value and central location for visiting Georgetown and/or American University areas. Breakfast was decent also. Location can't be beat!
The clock radio next to the bed was broken, so we couldn't tell what time it was. The bottom buttons on the phone were not connecting so I had to call the front desk everytime I needed something. Relatively minor issues. All else was good.
Rude staff at check-in.
I recently traveled to Washington DC on a four day trip and particularly enjoy staying at Georgetown, I needed a hotel that is in a near proximate to M Street where all the restaurants and stores are located, I therefore opted to stay at the Holiday Inn Georgetown, I honestly didn't have much expectations, however, staff at the main desk were very accommodating and made may stay all the difference, they were pleasant and made sure that all my needs were provided, and due to my early arrival from a 13 hour international flight I arrived early at 0800am, they went there way and made sure that I was checked in, taking into consideration my long haul flight and undermining the official early check at 1400hrs with no extra charge or obligation, Miss. Marina Moyses in particular, that whom I owe my appreciation was extremely accommodating and pleasant, her positive demeanor and professional attitude made sure that I will certainly be a frequent guest and therefore recommend the Holiday Inn Georgetown to all. If you are considering sating at the Holliday inn Georgetown, make sure to ask for Miss. Miss. Marina Moyses, thank you Miss Moyeses for all your help
Rooms size, location, free shuttle to the metro station and pick up and to the big bus stop and pick up on my call.
The staff was not very corteous.
Service, staff especially Marina at the front desk, was both pleasant and informative.
Size of rooms Friendly staff Location/Shuttle Bus
Wifi was extremely slow
The room was beautiful, loved the separate master bedroom. Loved the location, close to a lot of things in Georgetown. A couple of bus rides away from White House etc. The kids loved this hotel and the pool.
Wish it wasn't so expensive. The parking is also expensive ($35). But, it was a really nice hotel and we would stay there again.

The staff was great! Since I was traveling with small children, I requested a connecting room. However, I was not notified prior to arriving that there were no connecting rooms. However, the staff was wonderful about the situation and accomodated us as much as possible. The hotel was fabulous and clean. My children loved the pool and room accomodation. My family ate in the restuarant and raved over the breakfast. Thanks for a wonderful vacation. - Anonymous

Hi, I stayed at your hotel as I was running in the Berlin half marathon. On a practical level everything in the hotel worked well and was spotlessly clean. The staff were as friendly as could be and made us feel totally at home. Small requests were greeted with a smile and nothing was too much trouble. The food and breakfast set up worked really well and the hotel has a lovely relaxed feel. As we needed to shower after running and we had checked out, we were offered the use of the leisure facil - Anonymous
I was actually amazed by the hotel. I hadn't expected this standard at all. The bathroom was just beautiful! And I have a particular bee in my bonnet about hotel bathrooms. It was the best hotel bathroom I've ever had the pleasure of using. The bed was also fabulous, slightly strange that they gave us two large single duvets rather than one double but it actually worked well so also in the positives side. Location is great, literally around the corner from the S1, S2 and S25 (I could see the st - Anonymous
Location was excellent for me. This ultra-modern hotel is very calm, quiet and elegant. - Peter
Very good location, very friendly hotel staff, little present every day(chocolate, food), spacious rooms, modern design, balcony, very bigbathroom, kitchenette and possibility to prepare tea/coffee for free andtea/coffee was available every day. Pc. Two TV'S. Enough wardrobes. - Fernando
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was great size and hotel is in fantastic location on Ku'damm, near trains, shops and great restaurants. Breakfast was excellent. Will definitely stay at this hotel again. - Emily
Absolutely excellent hotel, which is definitely on 5 stars level, helpful staff, ideally clean and nice designed rooms. Generally, the hotel was much better than expected to be.
If I'll be again in Berlin, I'd stay there again and highly recommend this hotel for others.
The only weak point is the "arty-farty" restaurant with very short menu and the food is not specially tasty and definitely overpriced. But this is not big problem, because there are a lot of excellent restaurants for any taste - Anonymous
The concierge was absolutely brilliant - the best i've ever encountered. They went out of their way to be helpful and every suggestion and recommendation was excellent and spot on e.g. from the best wiener schnitzel in town to recommending a fabulous local restaurant. - Anonymous
Fantastic central location, within walking distance of all major sites and plenty of restaurants and bars in the immediate vicinity. The hotel was impeccably clean and the staff couldn't have been nicer. All in all it has been one of the best hotels I have stayed in for a long while, we couldn't fault anything. - Gary
Superb hotel for the price bracket. Very good standard all round. Room was excellent, very well appointed. We had a slight problem with the heating system. Immediately, a maintance engineer appeared to fix it. We were moved to a lovely room and then offered an upgrade to a corner room. The conscierge was very helpful and efficient and the location of the hotel cannot be beaten. - Niamh

The Snack Factory, which makes its pretzel snacks in the Skillman section of Montgomery and is headquartered in Princeton, has announced its new Modern Classics line of Pretzel Crisps, which will be introduced at Whole Foods Market stores nationwide this month.
Modern Classics are the latest creation from Warren and Sara Wilson, the founders of Snack Factory and former owners of New York Style Bagel Chip Company.
The new line will join the current Deli Style and chocolate-covered Special Edition products in the Pretzel Crisps lineup.
Modern Classics were designed with the natural foods consumer and Whole Foods Market in mind. "The growth in natural foods arena has been tremendous and it's a space where we've really not been represented. The new line targets that space with a new look and unique flavors," said Perry Abbenante, vice president of marketing for Snack Factory.
Modern Classics have 110 calories per serving and come in four flavors: Tuscan Three Cheese, Supreme, Cinnamon Toast and Classic.
Other Pretzel Crisps products can currently be found in your supermarket's deli departments and other stores. For more information, visit www.pretzelcrisps.com.

The Cleveland bus driver who fired back at an aggressive female passenger with a FEROCIOUS uppercut to the face ... has been fired by his bus company.
The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority has announced ... Artis Hughes was terminated from his job ... for not following policy after he was assaulted by the passenger back in September.
In a statement, the RTA explains ... "Mr. Hughes claims that his actions were in self-defense. The evidence does not support that claim."
"We expect our employees to diffuse any potential situation. We do not believe that Mr. Hughes took the proper steps to diffuse this situation."
"The proper procedure would have been to pull over and stop the bus, then call Transit Police for assistance."
However, RTA does say ... "The customer was out of line and charges have been filed against her."
Moments after the driver smacked the woman, he told her, "She wanna be a man, I'm gonna treat you like a man."
So far, no comment from the bus driver.
I finally understand why Ohio is considered a key swing state by Romney and Obama
wth - the bus driver was arrested!! Artis Hughes, 59, spent 30 minutes in custody taking photos, fingerprints and posting $5,000 bond.
25 year old bitch got what she deserved, too bad for the bus driver, almost nearing retirement age.
That shocked me. He didn't just 'fire back', he pummeled her!
She was definitely the instigator and made the first strike, but the driver should have never indulged her in the verbal argument. You should be afraid of somebody who is that intense. What if she had a weapon?
He was not thinking about the safety of his passengers at all. He could have tried to diffuse the situation much earlier by escorting her off the bus and calling for help, instead of replying back to her crazy rants.
The assault probably wouldn't have happened if the driver had not threatened to have his daughter, (then his granddaughter) 'whoop her ass', and then say it looked like 'somebody sliced her face up BITCH!'.
It appears that she slapped him and later attempted to hit him. The driver punched her in the face (hard), threw her down the steps into the street, had her in a choke hold and finally pulls her hair.
Not self-defense at all – this was a fight that should have never happened.
I think they will both be charged, but the driver's charges will be more serious. Pretty tough chick, though.
I'm happy he punched her... but yeah, he probably SHOULD have handled it differently, and probably does deserve to lose his job over it.
But I'm still really happy he punched her :)
she doesn't have a clue in life! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64dl9xSmg00&feature=related
This female deserved what she got! She assaulted him as well and should not be allowed on anymore public transportation. What a nasty piece of trash and to think she's suing this man and the bus company...should uppercut her again when she got back up!
If her momma would have smacked her mouth when she was younger, other people wouldn't have to do it now.
Good He could have easily diffuse that situation. Instead of going back and forth with the chick until the point in which she hit him , he should have stop the bus and put her off and if she tried to hit me hold her down or have other passengers contain her, but he didnt. Ur going have to deal with crazy people at a job like that but that dont mean u just snap and fight them like a man!
LMFAO, she wasnt so badassss when she got clocked. Score!
What bad language? Is "******" and "bitch" bad language?
(LOL! xD), It looks like "SAMUEL L. JACKSON!" as "THE BUS DRIVER" ked! :D
Hey, IT WAS, "HER FAULT!!!", All she had to do was, USE COMMON SENSE. "STEP OFF DA BUS" And like "A HOT DOG", Everything would've been, "KO-SHER!", But, NAAAW!!!, She took it to, "ANOTHER LEVEL", By PUSHING HIM, And DISRESPECTIN'!
BOTTOM LINE; She played with fire, AND SHE GOT BURNED!!!, (She better thank her LUCKY STARS that, SHE'S ALIVE. A few inches, Along with certain pressure to certain areas can cause, "DEATH!!!", But anyway.)
I said enough. I'm out. Have a kool evening. :D
he deserves a raise and promotion, makes me proud to be a fellow american
He could have crashed that bus and killed some innocent people, that **** should be locked away
Awesome, Amazing, Hilarious, she deserved it, she deserved more. Why do women like that think they can do whatever they want,

Over the last several months I have established a new online habit.
As a voracious news consumer I will scan several online news sources; The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle (SFGate), KTVU.com, the Dallas Morning News, The Los Angeles Times and others. And of course thanks to the online edition of the The Las Vegas Optic, I can call up the latest happenings of my hometown.
It's not the isolated bag that somehow gets dislodged from a moving pickup or a Wal-Mart bag that shoots out the window when Missy cranks the handle.
No, instead, what a residential area in Camp Luna inherited Tuesday morning, compliments of some anonymous donor over the Memorial Day weekend was more than a dozen bags of trash, garbage, organic stuff, important records, school reports, sensitive material from hospitals and welfare agencies, a partially used prescription, and several dozen empty DVD cases.
On behalf of Samaritan House Inc., we would like to take this opportunity to extend our deepest appreciation and gratitude to The Catholic Foundation, Archdiocese of Santa Fe, for their 2009 Grant Award of $5,000.
The application was sponsored by Immaculate Conception Church and submitted by two of our board members, Katie McDonough and John Geoffroy.
In this weak economy, our local government agencies shouldn't be giving raises to its top officials. Doing so sends a bad message.
Unfortunately, West Las Vegas' budget includes pay hikes for its associate superintendent and business manager — this during a time when West is set to lay off eight first- or second-year teachers.
Under the budget, the business manager's annual salary would increase from $70,000 to $90,000 and the associate superintendent's from $89,000 to $95,000.
This letter is prompted by the visibility and apparent success of the Tea Party phenomenon, more specifically by the letter by Annette Franklin in the Optic on May 19.
John Loehr did not tell us where he attended high school. I found it interesting that he seems so horrified that anyone would not like the president and some people would even use racial epithets to describe the president.
He talks about what a fine father and husband and basketball player he is. Of course, none of those attributes make for presidential qualities and abilities.
On behalf of the West Las Vegas Music Department, we would like to thank the following individuals and businesses that contributed to our event: Platinum sponsor: Bank of Las Vegas. Silver sponsor: State Employees Credit Union, Deseo (John and Rose Montoya), ENMR, and State Rep. Richard D. Vigil of District 70. Bronze sponsors: Herrera Coaches, WLV board President Christine Ludi, WLV board member and Mrs. Kenny Lujan, First Community Bank, Antonio Ortega, Roy Pacheco for Sheriff, and KNMX (Mr. Matt Martinez).
We, the sons and daughters of Arthur Padilla, want to thank you for your support for our father. He has served Las Vegas and the surrounding community for the past 40 years through his service in law enforcement and, most recently, his eight years as county commissioner.
Our father is retired and will give 100 percent of his time and effort to help the people of San Miguel County. He has a personal open communication policy in which you may call and express your concerns or opinions. His values, strong ethics and experience speak for themselves.
