Oriental and Eastern Orthodox: questions
Post: #16
Dear John
Interestingly, I am currently reading "The Spiritual World of Isaac the Syrian" by Hilarion Alfeyef. Isaac's view of the unity of creation and of God's love which never abandons us even when we abandon Him, resonates very deeply with me. It seems to me that he tends to Apocatastasis, as I do, though I can accept the official Orthodox line on the subject.
Whether or not Isaac was a Nestorian doesn't in any way diminish his absolute holiness, nor the Orthodoxy of his Christian witness. As you say, he's a saint of the Orthodox Church
Yours in Christ

St. Isaac
Dear Paul,
It is a wonderful book, isn't it? As I understand it the Church has not said that Apocatastasis is not possible, it has simply said that it is not the teaching of the Church; what is not allowed is the form of it propagated by Origen, which includes the pre-existence of souls.
I can see that one would not want to negate the idea of our free will by saying that we will be saved whatever we want; that would be a denial of the need for the Incarnation. On the other hand, left open as the possibility that we will all repent and be saved, and as the love that God bears for us that can save us if we let it, it is indeed attractive. Except, in my experience, to some EO fundamentalists; but let us not go there!
In Christ,
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)

Oriental and Eastern Orthodox:questions
Dear Paul and John,
An interesting anecdote on the subject of whether we will all be saved or not. The Russian Orthodox St Silouan the Athonite, when hearing a fellow monk loudly enjoying the thought that all atheists, heretics and other ne'er-do-wells will endure the eternal torments of hell, responded, "No!
Love could not bear that! We must all pray harder!"
Implicit in this response is a/ that God does not want anyone to be damned, b/ that it is up to us believers to help save those who could be damned. An awesome responsibility.
Although we finite human beings cannot really grasp the complexities of the issue fully, we can do as much as we can to help save our fellows by
prayer and open witness of our faith.
Regarding the dead, we do pray for the souls of the departed, and not just the faithful departed, as I had believed, but even for those who died
either unrepentant or in a state of indecision. It was explained to me that in every Syriac Orthodox monastery prayers are said for the dead every
Saturday evening, and that any believer, praying for the soul or souls of their beloved dead, even atheists, will have their prayers attached to these monastic prayers. A believing wife may hopefully pray for the soul of a nonbelieving dead husband, for example. It has also been explained to me that nonbelievers may actually die in a state of grace through a last
moment thought of repentance, or dying act of charity. We are not to know this because it can happen in the case of road or plane crashes when open confession was impossible.
Let us remember that when warning against the unpardonable sin against the Holy Spirit, Christ explained that this can be forgiven neither in this world, nor the next, implying that the sins of the dead can be forgiven in the next world. The great Matta el-Maskeen wrote about this once in a pamphlet on prayer.
Orthodoxy does not believe in the existence of Purgatory because either we have been forgiven in this life or, through the prayers of others, we are forgiven in the next.

In brief, Gentlemen, what are the differences between the EO and the OO? This for a newbie.
In particular, are there any genuinely dividing points that preclude communion, or are they matters that can be resolved in time, if people really want to, and should be put down to ecclesial fallibility?

Dear Solly,
Good to have you here, and already your energies make their mark in directing our discussions - which is wholly to the good.
This is a question for those who wish to concentrate upon division. As the website on the unity talks (mentioned above) shows, there are those who would answer this question by saying that the differences are historical and due mainly to linguistic misunderstandings; my own view would be in line with that.
But there is more to be said, and I shall come back with some thoughts, if I might?
Any way, a warm welcome here.
In Christ,
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)

Dear Solly,
A few thoughts on the theme of the differences.
Much of what passes for Christian history reflects on the divisions, heresies, schisms and discontinuities in the Church(es). This is natural in a number of ways. Firstly because they are dramatic events, and such history always attracts writers and readers; secondly because we have a tendency to trail back into the past looking for the origin of our present discontents. Moreover, as an academic discipline, history has tended to become a dissolvent, eating away at easy certainties with the acid rain of a drizzle of questions which seem designed to disturb a simple faith.
There way be another way of coming at these things. What are the continuities in what it has meant to be a member of the body of Christ across the time and the space Christians have occupied; being, as they are, one with the faithful departed and the saints? What does it mean to be a member of that body? Who is a member? Who defines the criteria for that membership? Who provides the labels such as 'Monophysite' which explicitly seek to define boundaries to God's saving Grace? What is the function of such labels for those who produce them - and what is the effect on those labelled?
One of the characteristics of an hegemonic culture is that it will describe other cultures in its own terms without even asking what it is they might mean by what they say. This we see at Chalcedon and after. The dominant cultural and political force in the region was Greek; the Greek-speakers read what the Copts and the Syrians wrote through their own perceptions of what was correct Christology. Words such as 'nature' and 'hypostasis' can be translated in a variety of ways and depending on the context, they can mean different things; at Chalcedon what the Egyptian Christians and the Antiochene believed was filtered through the Greek understandings and pronounced heretical. A real understanding of what those who were thought of as politically and culturally inferior really meant by their own terminology was thought unnecessary. 'The Church' understood and could - and did - pronounce - even if it took nearly 200 years for the Byzantine model to triumph.
The labelling was one of the ways the hegemonic culture defined its hegemony; it alone had the power to describe others - who became what they were labelled. This has left a huge and powerful legacy of damage. A form of theological imperialism still hampers an understanding from the EI side, which finds it understandably difficult to lose its age-old imperial tendency to expect others to accept its definition of who they are; and which, indeed, can take their refusal so to do as a sign of 'heresy'.
I don't pretend to have an answer to the paradox of how we can believe in a God who is Infinite and whose love is available to all who repent and believe on Him, and then seem to attempt to circumscribe that love by defining the boundaries of the body of Christ in a way that exclude most of those who would consider themselves members of it. But it seems worthy of note that I have not come across the Copts using these labels in this way, not becoming defensive if the paradox is pointed out.
There are things we can only understand by looking for a new Christian history, which deals with continuities and the experience of history in the shadow of the Cross. That way we may end up concentrating on what we have in common as Orthodox folk, and being able to see whether what divides us is just history and our fallen nature, and is therefore not as important as what we have in common; or whether, as some would have, some of those who call themselves Orthodox are deluded schismatics.
It seems important to be able to ask these questions - and I have found the Coptic Church a place where people don't label you, but listen and try to understand.
I hope this makes a contribution to a different way of approaching your question!
In Christ,
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)

Hello John.
I seemed to have missed this reply, but belated thanks.
I can understand what you mean by Hegemonic culture, and the 'giving of names' I am a Baptist. It's not a name we chose, it was given as an insult, the same as Anabaptist, Quaker, etc. In my time on another board (for 4 years) I have striven, despite being a Calvinist, to understand the other view, even if I couldn't agree with it. Between wider differences, ie protestant and Catholic, the problems become more prominent, ie the term 'grace', so I guess I have a lot to learn about Orthodox use of terms, let alone intra-orthodox usages.
I am on a learning curve. After encountering Orthodoxy, I then find there are different flavours: Greek, Russian, Serbian, etc. Now I find there are families of flavours: Eastern, Oriental, and some others. It's quite breathtaking.
You can understand that given the 'bad press' the Coptic and other Orientals get, I have endeavoured to look into the matter more. There is that very long thread on monachos that I am currently going through - 70 A4 pages in 7pt font!!! as well as Peter's OrthodoxUnity site, John Romanides essays, and some others.
I was interested firstly in the graciousness of the discussion at Monachos - not what I am used to at all, where anathemas fly at a moment's notice!! Interestingly, the only fly in the ointment seemed to be Scott Pierson, who seems to me to be a convert from Evangelical fundamentalism, since he argues like one, in tone and style, unlike the other participants. His arguments are circular, imperialist, and full of unexamined presuppositions more appropriate to an unreformed Ian Paisley!
At least I can say that I have no qualms about the Coptic Church now.
Scott kept raising the point of OO being schismatics who need to return to the fold, and that there can be only one True Church, and the other must be schismatic by definition. I wonder. Why can't the situation be looked upon as a dysfunctional family? Both halves of a split family are still the family, talking to each other or not, and awaiting hopeful reunion, or finally going their own way. But you can't deny blood. Why must one be WRONG, because the other is RIGHT? Surely it's better to assume both are wrong in one way or another and start afresh. But I write that as someone who obviously doesn't have the culture in his blood, who doesn't recount the names of heretics in his liturgy - I can't believe that is so!! or has the same 'feel' for such as was evidenced in, say Northern Ireland between the two communities.
And I read with interest recently Robert Taft's essay Anamnesis not Amnesia which has some interesting things to say about Eastern Orthodox agression against Eastern Catholic churches.
Yes, the Coptic church does seem more open and friendly - even if it doesn't, at first sight, have the depth and breadth of theology that I personally enjoy (for instance I have about 60mb of downloaded material from the Russians and Greeks) Florovsky, Lossky, Zizioulas, Romanides, Vlachos etc.
As for the question, I think it was well put by another: the only barrier to ending the division is the division itself, and divisions are of the devil and human sin, not of God.

Dear Antony
I remember those discussions with Scott. In fact in the end he became much more open-minded, and in fact it was at that point that it became forum policy not to allow any more such discussions, and it was stressed very firmly that it was an Eastern Orthodox forum. I rather felt that there was concern over the fact that an Eastern Orthodox as zealous as Scott might find that there was much to commend in Oriental Orthodoxy.
About Oriental Orthodox theology....I think that if you dig below the surface, as I have had to do, then you will discover there is a rich seam to be enjoyed.
I don't know if you have visited - http://www.orthodox-library.com but you will see there that the British Orthodox Church is trying to republish and publish serious works which relate to Oriental Orthodoxy. By the end of the year I hope there will be approaching 50 such volumes available, a good proportion of them will be unpublished materials outside of academic journals and will be modern writings. I am presently formatting a collection of papers by Dr Youhanna Youssef, a scholarly Coptic Australian.
I can recommend - The Council of Chalcedon Re-Examined by Father V.C. Samuel, but also Orthodox Prayer Life by Father Matthew the Poor, which is published by an Eastern Orthodox seminary, while being written by the most famous of Coptic Orthodox monks in modern times. There are lots of other books I could recommend, and will in due course.
My opinion, as far as it is worth anything, is that Oriental Orthodoxy suffers from having been in the Anglo-phone West for a generation or so less than the Eastern Orthodox and so it is playing catch up in terms of English language materials. This is very rapidly changing however, and I think that the British Orthodox Church is playing a part.
There are a great many Oriental Orthodox materials in French, which I am enjoying reading, and I am trying to facilitate some sort of organisation online which would allow me to get these translated competently and quickly, all of St Severus' homilies for instance, are available in French and are wonderfully spiritual and theological, but you need to know French at present.
A selection of his letters are available in the Oriental Orthodox Library in English, and they are very interesting and theologically stimulating.
So watch this space...but if you let me know your particular theological interests I may well be able to point you in the direction of some Oriental Orthodox material. It should also be said however, that much Eastern Orthodox material is of a very high quality and would be recognised as being entirely Orthodox by the Oriental Orthodox. There is not the same exclusivity from our direction as there is often from the Eastern Orthodox.
I hope some of this helps a little. I will try to post some more thoughts but I am busy trying to prepare a stall at the Festival on Saturday.
Best wishes

Thanks Peter.
As far as buying volumes are concerned, I am very restircted on finances, so have to resort to the internet. I have this very day found Cyril on John and Luke and Letters of Severus at Tertullian.
They also have Severus' history of the coptic popes. http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/sever ... eintro.htm
I see that Isaac the Syrian is highly recommended on all sides. But I am glad about what you say about EO material, I was going to ask actually.
Having mentioned it, I think I have seen the Matthew book in my local Christian bookshop, I must dash there after work!!
At this porecise time, i would love to get my hands on a hard copy of Irenaeus' Adv Haer. My particular interest is in biblical theology ie the structure, progression and development of biblical ideas, not systematics, and Ir is a classic writer in this, and someone outside my usual Reformed sources.
I'm glad about Scott, although sad that the website closed the thread down, I can't remember a more informative and enjoyable read. but, i have been there before, when the first forum i was on stamped on all discussion that was opposed to its favourite eschatological scenario.

Dear Solly, Dear Peter,
An interesting discussion. As Solly will have seen, both Peter and I post regularly on Monachos, which is, I think, a good site - but they do get very defensive when one appears not to agree with their ecclesiology.
If you look at http://www.scoba.us/resources/documents ... thodox.pdf you'll see why; essentially they really do think we are heretical schismatics, like everyone else, and they are the only Church. It is an understandable point of view, but there's not much one can do with it when one reaches a point where one is, effectively, saying what you did, which is that we are like two members of a dysfunctional family; they see us as not family; a shame.
If you look at the recent St. Isaac thread you'll see the phenomenon at work. I hope that, as members of the BOC, Peter and I both try to evince an attitude of eirenicism, but even that is seen as smuggling in some hidden agenda.
There is so much that unites us, and so little that need divide us - and when one looks at the heathen secular world, it makes you wonder why we can't all do a better job of witnessing to His love. Still, there we are.
I think what you say about the literature is correct, and it is up to us, in part, to try to do something about it. Peter's efforts merit the description 'heroic', and his work, that of Abba Seraphim and of Fr. Gregory all seems to me of a very high quality; we just need more of it!
In Christ,
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)
Post: #27
A book I purchased today contains what I think is a good overview of the major differences in theological paradigm between ?East? and ?West? (both Roman Catholic and Protestant).
?During the declining years of Byzantium an influential group of Byzantine theologians and churchmen, affected by developments in the Western Church, advocated the adoption of scholasticism as the primary approach to theology and denounced the spiritual practices of the hermits and monks of Mount Athos as heretical. The Athonite monks? way was known at the time as Hesychasm, or the way of quietude. Their goal was direct experience of the Uncreated Light and Theosis.
The leader of the anti-Hesychast campaign was Barlaam, an erudite,
Western-trained Greek monk from Calabria, Italy. As a humanist theologian and scholar he advocated intellectual contemplation, Aristotelian metaphysics, and Thomist theology as the appropriate ways to contemplate and search for God. He mocked the methods of the Athonite ascetics as the product of ignorance and superstition and considered reports of holy elders having experiences of the Uncreated Light as pure nonsense and delusion. Barlaam and his group taught that God?s essence is beyond reach and beyond all human knowledge. The Uncreated Light as experienced by Athonite elders, therefore, is not of God but purely the product of the elders? distorted imaginations.
The leading proponent of the Hesychast school of thought was the archbishop of Thessaloniki, Gregory Palamas, who as a monk on Mount Athos for many years is said to have had a firsthand experience of the Un- created Light. An erudite scholar, Palamas vigorously opposed the arguments of the scholastic philosophers and theologians and skillfully defended Hesychasm as the primary pathway toward God-realization, toward Theosis. He agreed with his opponents that the essence of God is absolutely unknowable and beyond all human understanding. Palamas, however, based his theology on the teachings of the early holy elders of the Ecciesia and stressed the fact that human beings can have a real experience of God through His Energies which are emanations of His Divine Essence. The experience of the Uncreated Light as the energies of God are therefore real and not delusions. By making that argument Palamas tried to rescue the belief that Theosis is humanly possible. He claimed that a purely philosophical approach to knowing God may prevent human beings from really knowing God.
The theological confrontation between Gregory Palamas and the Hesychasts on one hand and Barlaam and his supporters on the other went on for some time during the middle of the fourteenth century. It unfolded in the form of public letters, books, and debates that created much dissension within the Eastern Church. Eventually Palamas?s position won the day, and the Church in Constantinople, during the two subsequent Councils of 1341 and 1351, declared his teachings as the true teachings of the Orthodox Church. At the same time Barlaam?s teachings were rejected and anathematized as heretical. ?The struggle of St Gregory,? wrote a contemporary Athonite abbot and former professor of theology at the University of Thessaloniki, ?did not aim at justifying some philosophical position, but had as its target Theosis as an achievable goal for human beings.? According to Saint Gregory and the Hesychasts, a philosophical approach is insufficient as a method to know God. ?A theology that is based on intellectual constructs and not on the direct experience of God is philosophy and not theology. It is a human creation that offers neither real knowledge of God nor peace to the heart.?
Kyriacos Markides ?The Mountain of Silence. A Search for Orthodox Spirituality? Image Books, New York, 2001:233-234. The author is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Maine.
Those for whom ?Aristotelian metaphysics, and Thomist theology? are foundations of thought, Eastern theology will often appear confused, vague, imprecise or even superstitious.
There is a considerable amount of readily available and helpful literature in English on the Hesychast tradition; I am happy to recommend key works for those who may be interested.
Although Oriental Orthodoxy was clearly not directly influenced by the Barlaam-Palamas conflict, I think there has been a more significant but less recognized intrusion of ?Aristotelian metaphysics, and Thomist theology? into Oriental Orthodoxy (without a Gregory Palamas to overcome it!). This has been through the impact of Roman Catholic and Protestant (notably Anglican) missionaries. Perhaps we should pray for an Oriental Gregory Palamas to arise?
Fr Gregory

Scholasticism and Orthodoxy
Dear Fr. Gregory,
Many thanks for this. Markides' book is an interesting one which offers much food for thought.
Is it that, perhaps because of a shortage of translated works, we in the west lack the adequate account of the Oriental Orthodox tradition; or is there not one to be had? I have several studies of the Coptic Orthodox Church, but none of them actually gives me much in the way of an account of how its thought has developed since, say, the seventh century. To what extent is this a reflection of the want of suitable studies in translation; or just of suitable studies?
Or is it something deeper? To what extent have the years of Muslim ascendancy meant that the Copts have had to devote most of their energy to surviving - and that it is only with the growth of the last half century or so that they have begun to do more than that?
In Christ,
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)
Post: #29
The pseudo-Aristotelian [since the West never had a full Aristotelian corpus, only a partial loan from Islamic sources] underpinning of Western theology is a matter of concern in the West too. Karl Barth attempted to get back beyond it, and it's modern manifestations in Cartesian and Existential theology. There are more recent attempts trying to take this forward, as well as further researches into the Hebraic thought world that runs counter to Western thought, whether it be through interaciton with writers like Zizioulas, or home-grown movements like Radical Orthodoxy [no relation] and Open Theism.
As far as 'world views' are concerned, I have found Orchid Land Publications very helpful in tackling the issues, as well as the works of Romanides and Vlachos. I have come to learn that Orthodoxy is not Roman Catholicism with lots of gold colouring at all, but something almost completely different!

it seems to me you have hit the nail on the head John. Persecuted churches don't have time for writing theological tomes. But more hagiography wouldn't be a bad thing: theology in action.

A discogram, or diskogram, is a test used to evaluate back pain. A discogram may help your doctor determine if your back pain could be caused by an abnormal disk in your spine. Spinal disks look a little like jelly doughnuts, with a tough outer layer and a gel-like substance inside. Disks act as cushions between the vertebrae in your spine.
During a discogram, dye is injected into the soft center of the disk. The injection itself sometimes reproduces your back pain. Several disks may be injected, to try to pinpoint the cause of your back pain. In addition, the dye will move into any cracks in the disk's exterior and will show up on an X-ray or CT scan. But cracked disks don't always cause symptoms, so the usefulness of a discogram is controversial.
Because it's an invasive test, a discogram isn't appropriate for an initial evaluation of back pain. But your doctor may suggest a discogram if your back pain persists despite conservative treatments, such as medication and physical therapy.
Some doctors use a discogram before spinal fusion surgery, to help identify which disks need to be removed. However, discograms are not always accurate in pinpointing which disks, if any, are causing back pain. Many doctors instead rely on other tests, such as MRI and CT scanning, to diagnose disk problems and guide treatment.
A discogram is generally a safe procedure. But as with any medical procedure, a discogram carries a risk of complications. Potential complications include:
You may need to avoid taking blood-thinning medications for a period of time before the procedure. Your doctor will give you specific instructions about what medicines you can take and if you need to avoid food or drink the morning before the test.
A discogram takes between 30 and 60 minutes, and you'll be able to go home later that same day.
A discogram is performed in a clinic or hospital room that has imaging equipment, so your disks can be examined during the procedure. You are awake during a discogram, but your doctor may give you an intravenous sedative to help you relax. You may also receive antibiotics to help prevent infection.
During the procedure, you lie on a table either on your stomach or on your side, rolled forward slightly. After cleaning your skin, your doctor may inject a numbing medicine to decrease pain caused by the insertion of the discography needles.
Your doctor will use fluoroscopy, an imaging technique that allows him or her to watch as the needle enters your body. This allows precise placement of the needle into the center of the disk to be examined. A contrast dye is then injected into the disk and an X-ray or CT scan is taken to see if the dye spreads.
If the dye stays in the center of the disk, the disk is normal. If the dye spreads outside the center of the disk, it means the disk is damaged. It may have begun to rupture or it may have tears in its outer ring. Typically, if a damaged disk is the source of your back pain, you feel pain during the injection that's similar to the back pain you have day to day. If a disk is normal, there's little pain during injection.
After a discogram, you remain in the procedure room for approximately 30 minutes to one hour for observation. Because of the sedation, have someone else drive you home following a discogram. You may have some pain at the injection site for several hours after you go home. If the pain is severe, call your doctor right away.
Your doctor will review the images taken during the discogram, along with the information you provided during the procedure about the pain you experienced. Both the images and your description of the pain are important to help determine if the disks examined are the source of your back pain. Your doctor will use this information to guide your ongoing treatment or prepare for surgery.
Because a disk can be damaged without causing pain, and because reports of pain during a discogram can vary widely — depending on your pain tolerance, your description of the pain and a variety of other factors — doctors usually don't rely on the results of a discogram alone to direct treatment. Typically, results of a discogram are combined with results of other tests — such as MRI or CT scanning and physical examination — when determining a treatment plan for back pain.

STRASBURG, Va. (AP) - A man who walked into Virginia's Sandy Hook Elementary School with a 2-by-4 with the words "High Powered Rifle" days after a gunman killed 26 at a Connecticut school with the same name is scheduled to appear in court.
Thirty-three-year-old Christopher Johnson of Strasburg was arrested Dec. 19. Authorities said he told police he was attempting to deliver a message about school safety.
Johnson is set to appear in a Shenandoah County General District Court Friday. Johnson was charged with one count of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor.
Commonwealth's Attorney Amanda Wiseley tells the Daily News-Record she has ordered a mental health evaluation of Johnson.
It's not clear what prompted Wiseley to ask for the evaluation or whether that has been completed ahead of Friday's hearing.

WASHINGTON - The family of a woman badly hurt crossing Rockville Pike Friday night is asking for help in finding the hit-and-run driver who left her unconscious on the busy, rainy roadway.
Michelle Eyre De Sam, 35, of Bethesda, remains in intensive care with numerous broken bones. She faces months of rehabilitation, her family says.
Montgomery County Police believe the woman was in a crosswalk when she was hit in the northbound lanes of Rockville Pike at Cedar Lane around 9:30 p.m. Friday.
"There had to have been people there who saw it," says Michelle's brother, Matthew Todd. "We really, really need their help."
Montgomery County police are offering up to a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest or an indictment in the case.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 301-279-8000. Anonymous tips can be left at the Crime Solvers toll free number 1-866-411-8477.

Farm Fresh
Located at Beargrass Christian Church off Shelbyville Road, the St. Matthews Farmers Market offers fresh fruit and vegetables, handcrafted jewelry, delicious baked goods and a chance to find your true love.
Yes, you can even find love at the St. Matthews Farmers Market.
Five years ago, when the warm-weather market first began, Jessica McQuade, of Triple J Farms in Georgetown, Ky., was introduced to her future husband, Matthew McQuade, by her competition at Gallrein Farms.
"Matthew came to the farmers market, and we thought we'd introduce him to Jessica. They fell in love, got married and he left our farm to work for her in Georgetown," said Mike McQuade, Matthew's uncle and Gallrein Farms employee.
Though Jessica whisked away one of her competition's hardest workers, Gallrein Farms and Triple J Farms continue to host their tents side by side. There are no hard feelings between the two vendors; instead a strong family bond has developed over the years.
This sense of love and support seems to extend to the entire St. Matthews Farmers' Market. Family and friends come together each Saturday to support local farmers and artists, who often operate a family business out of necessity. One such family-operated business is Dad's Favorites, a cheese company from Lexington, Ky., that attributes its large-scale success to the market.
"From the farmers market we found distribution at Kroger, and from there we got Liquor Barn," said Jason Caudill of Dad's Favorites. "The farmers market saves us. This is our storefront."
Dad's Favorites is not the only local business that continues to set up shop each weekend, despite already achieving a high level of success. Cake Flour, a bakery on East Market Street, has been featured on the Food Network for its flourless chocolate cake and is among the most popular vendors. Najla's, located at 8007 Vinecrest Ave., distributes its baked goods to 58 stores in Louisville and more than 400 nationwide. Yet despite Najla's expansion, the owner still continues to sell at the farmers market because of its outstanding sense of community.
"I just love the energy and the spirit," Najla's owner Najla Aswad said. "It's not necessarily cheaper to do the farmers market, but what you gain long-term is a connection to the community and a chance to support the local people."
With more than 65 vendors and an estimated 2,000 locals in attendance each week, the St. Matthews Farmers Market has become one of the largest in Kentucky.
Several vendors have hosted tents since the beginning, but the community is always willing to welcome new vendors as well. In just its second week, Pigalle Crepes has already become a hotspot vendor for locals, with customers waiting as long as 45 minutes just to taste the French-inspired dishes.
Aside from the delicious food and a stunning display of craftsmanship, the St. Matthews Farmers Market also offers entertainment for its guests, including weekly live music and special events throughout the season, including Children's Day on June 4 and Senior Day on July 2.
The farmers market is held every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon through Oct. 8.

Did the Japanese detonate an atomic device just days before they surrendered?
- Evidence suggests Japan was just weeks behind the U.S. in the race to build the bomb.
- See how the Japanese planned to deliver the deadly device.
- Formerly top-secret Japanese documents help tell the dramatic tale.
Since the end of WWII, conventional wisdom claimed that Imperial Japan was years away from building an atomic weapon. JAPAN'S ATOMIC BOMB shatters that view.
Using once-secret Japanese wartime documents, this special offers evidence that Japan had world-class nuclear physicists, access to uranium ore, and cyclotrons to process it. They devised an innovative way to deliver the bombs using 400-foot long Sen Toku submarines, capable of carrying and launching airplanes. Most startling, just six days after Hiroshima, Japan tested its own atomic device on a small island 20 miles off the Korean coast! The sobering conclusion is that Japan may have been just weeks behind the U.S. in the race for the bomb.

Originally posted in 2011: Reconciliation is a much more demanding task than integration because it means an ongoing conversation between us and the unpredictability of how that ongoing conversation may affect each of us and our view of things.
The one thing on which the entire Genesis debate hinges is whether we acknowledge the role played by hermeneutics.
From 2012: The entire BioLogos community would like to thank Dr. Keathley not only for his work in writing his introductory essay, but for his willingness to organize a small collection of essays by other Southern Baptist scholars describing their concerns about the BioLogos perspective. We welcome this opportunity to clarify our positions and remove stumbling blocks where possible.
For McGrath, nature is an "open secret...though open to public gaze, its deeper significance lies hidden."
Originally posted on June 11, 2012. Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
"We should be slow to accuse another of discarding the authority of Scripture, and therefore denouncing them, just because they interpret Scripture differently than we do."
"The lack of a nuanced and public dialogue about how science can inform and deepen faith…is problematic for those who, like me, hold to the conviction that science and religion are not just compatible — they're soul mates," says outgoing BioLogos Web Editor Emily Ruppel.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
All of science's discoveries are undergirded by beliefs about the true, good, and beautiful, which makes it all the more tragic when scientists claim to have risen above the search for these things.

The RS3-A™ is the latest Ultra High Performance all-season tire within the Cooper performance family. This all-season performance tire provides the driver with a dynamic handling and inspires confidence and control.
Advanced Technology Mold Profile. Provides for a square tread footprint which means more tread-to-road contact. Asymmetric Design. Allows for tread pattern tuning. This design allows for cross-rotation which reduces heal-toe wear, promotes even wear, less noise and increased overall read life. More rubber on the outboard tread pattern equals exceptional dry handling and traction. The large outside shoulder and intermediate tread elements increase handling, stability control and ultimate cornering ability. The offset shoulder-to-intermediate grooves and large intermediate tread elements are joined together for stable cornering and noise reduction. Laterally oriented shoulder grooves, uniform element geometry and chamfered edges resist irregular or rapid tread wear. The continuous, solid rib on the outside of the center row of tread elements increases steering response. The inboard tread pattern is optimized for wet and light snow conditions. Two, wide circumferential grooves channel water away from the tire for hydroplane resistance. Even wear is achieved by the laterally oriented shoulder grooves and uniform elements. Winter traction performance is aided by the technical sweeping elliptical groove. 3-D Micro-Gauge Siping. Increases tread element stability, improves handling and tire control while reducing the possibility of stone retention. 3-D dimple sipes with interlocking geometry provide more sipe depth without sacrificing tread element stability. The 3-D dimple sipes are used in the center, intermediate and shoulder elements and provide increased length and more road biting edges as the pattern wears for maximum wet and light snow traction. Silica Formulated Tread Compound. Designed for exceptional all-season driving performance.

DC Homeland Security Commission
The District of Columbia Homeland Security Commission (HSC) was established by the Homeland Security, Risk Reduction, and Preparedness Amendment Act of 2006. The core function of the HSC is to make recommendations for improvements in security and preparedness in the District of Columbia. Specifically, the Commission is tasked by the Mayor with gathering and evaluating information on the status of homeland security in the District, measuring progress and gaps in homeland security preparedness, recommending security improvements priorities in consultation with major public and private entities, and advising the District government on the homeland security program.
With such a broad statutory agenda confronting it, the Commission decided that it could most effectively make a contribution by concentrating in greater depth on one topic, rather than undertaking a cursory overview of the many subjects within its purview. It decided to focus this year's report on cyber security and it has been engaging in an investigation process over the past year by interviewing certain District agencies who are heavily involved in protecting the District's critical infrastructure. The information from this data gathering process will provide the basis of the Annual report to the Mayor and District of Columbia Council.

Round Rock police are credited with saving the life of a man whose leg was severed in the course of a motorcycle collision Monday evening.
At about 7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 24, Round Rock police responded to a report of a collision involving a motorist near the intersection of Buckboard Drive and the southbound IH 35 frontage road. Sgt. Nate Zoss was the first officer on scene and discovered the collision had severed the lower half of the motorcyclist's leg.
With the assistance of Sgt. Tate Hunter and Officers Paul Hernandez and John Schultz, Zoss immediately applied a tourniquet to stop the victim's bleeding. The victim was transported to St David's Round Rock Medical Center by Williamson County EMS for treatment.
The emergency room physician reported that Zoss's decision to apply the tourniquet saved the life of the victim, who would otherwise have died prior to reaching the hospital.
Round Rock police officers are trained to administer basic first aid as part of their continuous training regimen.

Comments about NIKE Women's Cotton Footie Socks - 3-Pack:
I needed footie socks that would not show with my flat slip on tennis shoes, sort of like ballet flats. I had tried 2 other kinds but either they showed or they would slip off my heel. These are cottony, but thin and do not show and fit well enough that they do not slip off my heel. I am so happy to find something that actually works with these flat shoes!

How to Add Guitar Effects with Muting
9 of 10 in Series: The Essentials of Adding Effects and Articulation to Guitar
To mute notes or chords on the guitar, you use your right or left hand to touch the strings and partially or completely deaden the sound. You can use muting both as an effect to create a thick, chunky sound and to prevent unwanted noises from strings that you're not playing.
Creating an effect
To use muting to create percussive effects, lightly lay your left hand across all six strings to prevent the strings from ringing out as you strike them. Don't press them all the way down to the fretboard (which would cause the fretted notes to sound), but press them hard enough to prevent the strings from vibrating. Then strike the strings with the pick to hear the muted sound. The following figure shows the tab notation that is typically used to indicate this type of muting, which is usually shown by placing little Xs on the string lines (and in place of the actual notes on the standard staff).
Although left-hand muting deadens the strings completely, right-hand muting deadens them only partially — to whatever degree you desire — enabling you to still discern the strings' pitches. To use right-hand muting, place the heel of your right hand against the bridge as you play. It may seem a little awkward at first, but don't worry. With a little practice, you can keep your hand on the bridge and still strike the strings with the pick.
Move your right hand toward the fretboard to increase the amount of muting. This technique enables you to control the degree of muting. Tab notation indicates this type of muting by placing the letters P.M. (for palm mute) above the tab staff, with a dotted line indicating how long to continue the muting, as shown in the following figure.
Preventing unwanted string noise
As a beginner, you're usually more worried about getting your hands into proper position than you are about preventing unwanted string noises. But an experienced guitarist must prevent unwanted string noises all the time. Following are some examples of how you do so:
If you finger, say, the seventh fret of the 3rd string with your third finger, your third finger leans slightly against the 2nd string, preventing it from ringing. And as you pick the string with your right hand, your pick also lands against the 2nd string, further preventing it from ringing.
If you play an open-position D chord, and you don't want to strike the 6th string because it doesn't belong in the chord, you can bring your left thumb up around the neck ever so slightly to touch the 6th string, ensuring that it doesn't ring.
If you play a chord that omits a middle string, you need to mute that string with a finger of the left hand. A lot of people, for example, just because they think it sounds better, like to omit the 5th string if they play the open-position G chord (even though you normally fret that string for the chord). The finger that's playing the 6th string leans against the 5th, muting it completely.
The slowest blues pattern in which the bass note plays on beats one and three and the chords play on beats two and four.
By far the most popular form for the blues, created by following a 12-bar blues pattern of three lines per verse, with the first line repeated.
A chord created from the altered or unaltered first, third, fifth, and seventh notes of a scale; 7th chords have a complex, bluesy sound.
A musical notation (>) indicating that a note should be played louder than the rest of the notes.
A musical notation indicating that a note should be played a half or whole step higher or lower; accidentals include flats (b), double flats (bb), sharps (#), double sharps (x), and naturals.
A type of hybrid guitar that is an acoustic guitar with built-in pickups and electronics.
Electric guitar electronics that have a built-in power source.
A combination of upstrokes and downstrokes that enables the guitarist to play faster and is the key for playing fast leads smoothly.
A musical pattern in which you alternate between playing the melody and bass parts one at a time instead of at the same time.
The notes of a chord played one after the other instead of simultaneously.
The way in which a musician plays and connects notes to create a distinct tonal quality, as well as distortion of the tone.
The initial distinguishing sound of a note.
A rhythmic alteration in which the melody falls behind the beat.
The thick ring at one end of a guitar's steel string.
The vertical lines that separate music into measures.
A basic unit of musical time containing a specific number of beats.
The combination of notes that sound when a guitarist presses down two or more strings at once with a single left-hand finger.
A type of chord that has only fretted notes and is able to move to any position on the neck of your guitar.
The lower, wider part of the body of a guitar.
In musical notation, a beam can be used to connect a group of notes (eighth notes or shorter) that would normally each be flagged.
A guitar effect in which a note's pitch is raised by stretching the ringing string while it is sounding.
A bending effect in which a note is played, then bent without repicking, and then returned to its original tone (unbent) without repicking.
A popular R&B rhythm that uses left-hand muting, syncopated strumming, scratches, and sounded notes to create an implied syncopation effect.
A rhythm pattern created by alternating notes and chords.
An amplifier control that you can use to create a distorted or lead sound.
A 17th-century French up-tempo dance.

Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee of Rush Choose 22 Songs That Inspired Them Most
September 28, 2014 at 9:22pm
I love this article! ..
I'm glad that keep bringing it back.
This must be the third or fourth time they've ran this.
Why bother looking for something new, when you can re-post something old!
August 05, 2014 at 3:17pm
Great list, but it seems to me, that outside of a handful of songs - about five or six - these are all the songs that Lifeson likes. Was Geddy busy or something?
I'm just sayin'... \m/ \m/

Cafeteria Tables
The school cafeteria is one of the most important rooms in your school - it's where your students come to meet every day, socialize, and study. There is a lot of activity in the lunch room, from the activity between the lunch line to the cafeteria tables to times where the cafeteria is used as a multi-function room. In this busy environment, it's important that you have good, durable cafeteria furniture to withstand every day use, plus meet the needs of the cleaning crew afterward. Cafeteria tables have evolved to meet the needs of schools around the nation. Classic, traditional cafeteria tables come in 8, 10 and 12 foot versions, as well as two bench height sizes for both elementary and middle to high school applications. Several bench style models have a feature that allows the mobile table to rise up part way for easier cleaning, without having to completely fold the unit. Most fold in half, and will store out of the way to make room for events in your cafeteria. Torsion bars and spring assist make folding these large tables very easy, with no heavy lifting required. Lunchroom tables come in several different shapes and sizes, with options like bench seating, stool seating, discover chair cafeteria tables with back support, round mobile folding tables, rectangular mobile folding tables, and convertible bench tables. Mobile cafeteria furniture is available in several sizes to fit your elementary lunchroom, middle school cafeteria or high school lunch table students. Tables come with at least three different seating options; in addition to the traditional bench style, there are also stool tables, which keep students from crowding together, or allow for assigned seating, and now even lunch tables with back support. If you're looking for a less traditional design, or would like to build a cafe for your students, cafe tables are available, usually seating 4-6 students. Choose from a variety of cafeteria lunch tables from leading manufacturers including Virco, Midwest Folding Products and AmTab.

|A proliferation of e-mails – frequently with the heading "CONGRATULATIONS" -- notifying the recipient that they have won a prize in an Illinois Lottery e-mail lottery. The e-mail includes a link to the Illinois Lottery's website as alleged proof that the e-mail is legitimate. THIS NOTICE WAS NOT SENT BY THE ILLINOIS LOTTERY. In fact, the Illinois Lottery NEVER notifies winners by e-mail. If you receive an e-mail of this type, even one accompanied by an official looking claim form, be suspicious.
Some other common scams:
The chances of winning a lottery jackpot are determined by things like: the count of possible numbers, the count of winning numbers drawn, whether or not order is significant and whether drawn numbers are returned for the possibility of further drawing.
In a typical 6 from 49 lotto, 6 numbers are drawn from 49 and if the 6 numbers on a ticket match the numbers drawn, the ticket holder is a jackpot winner - this is true regardless of the order in which the numbers are drawn.
The odds of being the jackpot winner are approximately 1 in 14 million (13,983,816 to be exact). To put these odds in context, suppose one buys one lottery ticket per week. 13,983,816 weeks is roughly 269,000 years; In the quarter-million years of play, one would only expect to win the jackpot once.

ArchaeologyIn response to coastal erosion and increased storminess, about 20% of HS' £1.4m Archaeology grants budget is spent on coastal erosion projects at present. It is likely that the coastal erosion share of the budget will rise in future years in response to analysis of data collated from coastal surveys and research into priorities. Increased quantity and intensity of rainfall also increases soil erosion, which can have a major impact on buried archaeological sites.
