Hot answers tagged yiddish
און דאס גלייכן, which means "and similar." So yes, it's exactly equivalent to etc., 'וכו, et al. Sometimes instead you find used .א.א.ז.וו, which stands for און אזוי ווייטער - and so forth.
Leib (as well as Label, Leibush and Loeb) is the Yiddish version of the German Name Loeb which means Lion (from the German for lion, Löwe). The English equivalent of this name is often Leo or Leon which are root in the Latin word for lion, leo. [Source: Kolatch, Alfred J. 1984. The Complete Dictionary of English and Hebrew First Names. Middle Village: ...
I'm surprised to read the other answers provided, not to mention the direction of the question leading to those answers. I didn't know what to expect when I clicked on the title, but it wasn't that. I have personally never heard the word in any context other than, simply, "friendly". As in: "This is a Heimish Shul" (not as a denomination, but just ...
Its source may be the Arabic name Farida, which means "unique / precious" (as opposed to the Germanic name Frida, which means "peace"). [link]
Having grown up "heimish" I will do my best to explain. The first thing I tell people that ask me to define Heimish, is "mixed up". From the outside looking in, our accent in davening is typically that of chassidim, yet we (For the most part) are clean shaven (which is a huge no-no in the chassidish world). You might see us wear a gartel on shabbos ...
According to Merriam-Webster: Etymology: Yiddish yarmlke, from Polish jarmułka & Ukrainian yarmulka skullcap, of Turkic origin; akin to Turkish yağmurluk rainwear
It doesn't mean anything. It stands for Yaray Malka. (Fear of G-d)
Some claim it is a variant of the Greek word Phoebos, meaning "bright," which is why it goes together with Shraga (= flame in Aramaic). However, others dispute this etymology. Here is one interesting alternative: "Feivel" does not come from the "Phobos" (aka Apollo), the Greek Sun God! (This was a false etymology put about by German Jewish scholars in ...
From Wikipedia: Max Weinreich traces the etymology of cholent to the Latin present participle calentem, meaning "that which is hot" (as in calorie), via Old French chalant (present participle of chalt, from the verb chaloir, "to warm"). One widely quoted folk etymology, relying on the French pronunciation of cholent or the Central and ...
Wikipedia says it's "probably derived from the Old High German kraepfo meaning grape." However, I would think it's more likely related to crepe (French for a type of pancake that's often filled, much like a krepel).
Leib is the Yiddish word for lion (aryeh).
The word Heimish means comfortable. So to a Litvak another Litvak is Heimish and to a Chassid another Chassid is Heimish.
Sounds like it could be a case of overregularization of the copula+participle pattern found commonly in Chaza"l to express habituals (e.g. הוי מקבל את כל האדם בסבר פנים יפות). I have no historical basis for showing this spill-over to have occurred. Perhaps it is simply a shortcut for code-switchers using a copula in a more familiar language to bear the ...
What is the significance of bears in Judaism? Why has Dov (or Dov Ber) been such a common Jewish name?
Rav Mirsky in his first volume of Hegyonei Halacha has an interesting article on Ameilah shel Torah and includes the virtues of a bear. In speaking about how important 'toil' in learning is (rather than rote learning) he brings a Radak on Hosea (13:8): .אֶפְגְּשֵׁם כְּדֹב שַׁכּוּל, וְאֶקְרַע סְגוֹר לִבָּם; וְאֹכְלֵם שָׁם כְּלָבִיא, חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה ...
The word "shtender" (שטענדער) is Yiddish, and it's usually translated as "stander," although a more correct translation would be "lectern." It's an object used to prop up your books at an angle, and allow for easier reading. Some models are designed to be placed on a desk, and others, like the one pictured below, are for people who prefer to stand. Jews ...
Interestingly (but unsurprisingly), there is a Wikipedia page about this! They give the spelling ןאוייעך, which is how the word would be transcribed into Yiddish based on sound alone.
A search on Hebrewbooks yields the following earlier (16th-century) uses of the Hebrew סברת הכרס: Radvaz, teshuvah 1463: זו סברת הכרס היא Yam Shel Shlomo, Gittin 4:28: וכל אחד עושה לו סברת הכרס כמו שיחפוץ ...and I'm sure there are others too. Considering that Radvaz lived nowhere near any Yiddish speakers, I doubt that the Hebrew is a calque of the ...
"Anticipate" is exactly the word I would use. "Preempt" takes second place. (These might not be exact translations -- but hey, did you ever try to translate the word mechutan?)
According to this article, it is from the Medieval German word, Gottvater (godfather).
Etymonline gives it as from Russian латка, "pastry", which may have come eventually from Ancient Greek ἐλαία, "olive" (or maybe it means modern Greek ελαία, "olive". I'm not sure).
According to Alexander Beider's Handbook of Ashkenazic Given Names (which, though well-researched, I haven't found to be entirely accurate for some individual names), the name Tsherne is borrowed from the Czech Christian name "Crne" (and Cernice, Crnohna, etc.) which comes from the word černa, meaning "black." Jews took the Czech name with them as they ...
Someone I know insists it's abbreviated from the English chow left overnight. (I'm almost sure he's kidding.)
I like "preemptively address".
Etymonline seems to be essentially correct. Two other sources discussed in Balashon's article here describe the journey a little more explicitly: Yiddish latke, from either Russian latka or Ukrainian oladka, both derived (I assume) from Old Russian оладья, olad'ya. This is then apparently derived from the Greek ελαδια, eladia, "olive-y things", ultimately ...
OK, I may have enough of an idea to offer an answer. I think the panel in the upper right is supposed to say כינור שפילט, like "harpist" or something in Yiddish. The upper middle seems to say something about a harp. The upper left says מאנדלן, Yiddish for almonds. I think the lower right might be א ליד, "a song." The lower middle says "baa..." I don't know ...
What is the significance of bears in Judaism? Why has Dov (or Dov Ber) been such a common Jewish name?
According to Alexander Beider's Handbook of Ashkenazic Given Names, Dov didn't become a name in "the vernacular life" until the 20th century. "Jews called Dov in Hebrew sources were actually named Ber in their everyday life." Ber, on the other hand, comes form the German Bero which has been known since the 8th century among non-Jews. Beider's theory is ...
From Webster Dictionary Latin tropus, from Greek tropos turn, way, manner, style, trope, from trepein to turn First Known Use: 1533 The most common Hebrew term I have heard for this is טעמי המקרא. Interesting to note that both terms seem to focus on different aspects of what "trope" is or does. The Latin root has a definition meaning "style", and ...
From Wikipedia: The name hamantash (המן־טאַש), is commonly known as a reference to Haman, the villain of Purim, as described in the Book of Esther. The pastries are supposed to symbolize the defeated enemy of the Jewish people, and thus resemble the "ears of Haman". A more likely source of the name is a corruption of the Yiddish word מאן־טאשן (montashn) ...
נויאהעכ or ןויאהכ The Chof at the end is 2 mistakes - as it is instead of the Ches and if it was a Chaf it should be a Chof Sofit
from the yiddish, meaning "stander", i.e. you stand at it to learn/daven

They logged big minutes, controlled the game at times and created some opportunities.
But the Ducks' top line Friday didn't do the one thing this team needs it do if there's going to be success.
Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Bobby Ryan didn't score.
"We had some chances that we need to bury," Getzlaf said. "We gotta take that upon ourselves."
He played 25 minutes, 35 seconds in the Ducks' 4-1 loss to Buffalo. Perry was at 26:20 and Ryan 18:38.
Said Randy Carlyle, "That might have been a little bit too much."
But when the Ducks – who trailed for all but four minutes of the game – had an opening, Carlyle kept throwing his best punch.
"I think our big line dominated the puck control down low for good stretches but didn't score, obviously" he said. "I think the frustration level built in that group."
The frustration level probably was highest for the Ducks when they failed to score early in the third period with a two-man advantage.
"Those are opportunities that our power play has to develop where we (score) every time," Getzlaf said. "You know, 5-on-3s in this league don't come around very often, and they can change the whole momentum of a game."
The Sabres were 2 for 3 on the power play, the Ducks 0 for 4.
-- It was a loss but also a victory for Jonas Hiller, the goaltender playing largely intact for the first time in a long time.
"It was almost eight months since I played a regular season game, so I was excited to be back," Hiller said. "I'm excited that I felt well, but sure, it's a little disappointing. I wish I would have started with a win."

Straw's' StoryIT WAS MY GRANDDAUGHTER JULIA'S 7th BIRTHDAY 'TODAY' ON 9-7-2011..WHEN WE WENT DOWN FOR THE NEW GRANDBABY TO BE BORN WE STOPPED BY MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE TO TAKE GIFTS, "SNICKERDOODLE MUFFINS AND COOKIES" TO THEM FOR THE B-DAY.
A bit of history on the Snickerdoodle Cookie:
"This sweet little cookie with the whimsical name originated in 19th-century New England and has become an American classic. In this recipe, cake mix provides convenience to the traditional version, but the method of rolling the dough in sugar and cinnamon before baking has been kept".
THIS RECIPE WAS IN MY EMAIL BOX AND SINCE WE ALL LIKE "QUICK AN EASY" COOKIES TO MAKE FOR THE HOLIDAY'S COMMING UP, I WANTED TO SHARE IT....from BETTY CROCKER
(also photo of cookies from B.C.)
1 pkg
betty crocker® supermoist® white cake mix
1/2 c
butter or margarine, melted (add a little at a time)
2 Tbsp
sugar (i use a little more)
1 tsp
ground cinnamon (i use a little more)
Directions Step-By-Step
1Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheets).
Mix cake mix, butter and egg in large bowl with spoon until dough forms (some dry mix will remain).
TIP: be sure to add butter a little at a time so dough doesn't get too sticky to handle.
2Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Mix sugar and cinnamon in small bowl.
Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
TIP: for Super Snickerdoodles, shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them 3 inches apart on the cookie sheet; bake 12 to 14 minutes. You'll get about 26 large cookies (regular size yields about 30, even smaller you get about 36).
3Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set.
Remove from cookie sheet to cooling racks.
TIP: also, French vanilla cake mix is a great stand-in for the white cake mix.
Serving (1 Cookie)Calories 70 (Calories from Fat 25), Total Fat 3g (Saturated Fat 1 1/2g, Trans Fat 0g), Cholesterol 10mg; Sodium 95mg; Total Carbohydrate 9g (Dietary Fiber 0g, Sugars 5g),

5TIP: add a little bit of cream of tartar to give them a more authentic snickerdoodle flavor.
6...a bit of history on Snickerdoodle Cookies.
WIKI..The Joy of Cooking claims that snickerdoodles are probably German in origin, and that the name is a corruption of the German word Schneckennudeln (lit. "snail noodles")[3], a kind of pastry. A different author suggests that the word "snicker" comes from the Dutch word snekrad, or the German word Schnecke, which both describe a snail shape.[4] Yet another hypothesis suggests that the name has no particular meaning or purpose [5] and is simply a whimsically named cookie that originated from a New England tradition of fanciful cookie names

Imagine a network of roads where accidents were virtually unknown. Where to get tired or careless drivers can avoid accidents due to sophisticated systems in their vehicles could anticipate and warn of the dangers and impending collisions. Seeing this happens on the line can be a long way, but it starts with one car -. Lexus and it works
Everything really starts with an idea. This idea of Lexus is a car to avoid accidents, each moment of conception. Lexus Massachusetts customers with engineers advanced driving simulator used Lexus to be impressed technology to increase the s & # XE9; rity of its vehicle lineup.TV spot shows the same test center, giving guests a glimpse of how Lexus made its test for you.

The real test track and work Higashifuji in Japan is very high tech and complicated, but suffice it to say that if tester offers a real driving experience, including 360-degree s environment and sights and sounds of traffic in the simulator. more realistic than a tour of Disney's car on a turntable that can move in any direction that the access & # XE9; celeration feel and even simulate the curves fitted. Virtual speeds up to 186 mph are achieved. Lexus engineers can not only see how the car reacts and leads, but also how drivers react and what the response time in circumstances diff & # XE9; annuities. For example, how a driver with a sudden obstacle on the road, while a deflected SMS? (Something Oprah took me promise to never do!)

Here's some gift choices tied to the worlds of comic books, video games and pop culture franchises that are sure to delight fanboys this holiday season.
For role players
The Eleven Doctors (Character Group and BBC, $39.99, ages 5 years and older) — Help the "Doctor Who" fan celebrate 50 years of the show's existence with this micro-action figure set. Owners get 1-3/4-inch, cartoony versions of every Doctor with articulated designs that will remind collectors of Mega Bloks' mini-figures. Each figure gets a display base and spot-on costuming (reference the Fourth Doctor's excessively long scarf) while most get a sonic screwdriver accessory, except the Seventh Doctor who wields an umbrella. Parts of each figure (arms, torsos and heads) are swappable to mix and match Time Lords. The package also includes short biographies on each Doctor.
Sonic Blasting Iron Man (Hasbro, $29.99, for ages 4 and older, requires 6 AA batteries) — The 42nd iteration of Stark Enterprises' famed armor suit comes to life in this 15-inch-tall, moderately articulated, action statue. The black, gold and silver hued version of this Avenger offers 20 phrases combined with weapons sounds and lighting effects. Touch its unibeam chest projector for the figures eyes to glow and hear, for example, "armor online" and "systems critical."
Additionally, his right arm wields a massive, motorized repulsar cannon to fire the 15 missiles that are included (five per load with a choice of red, blue and gold projectiles) accompanied by more sounds and phrases when his back button is pressed. And, just to top it off, the armor is glow-in-the-dark.
Anakin to Darth Vader (Hasbro, $24.99, for ages 4 years old and older, AA battery included) — Take control of the transformation of an angst-ridden Jedi into a Dark Lord of the Sith with this 13-inch-tall, interactive figure.
First press Anakin's arm to watch his lightsaber come to life and glow blue while the figure spouts actual phrases from the movies including "If you are not with me, then you're my enemy."
Next, attach a cowl (with black cloth cape), helmet, mask and chest plate, and press Anakin's arm button again. Now he is Vader, complete with raspy breathing, booming vocals such as "it is your destiny" and a glowing red lightsaber. The cool makeover and sounds (three phrases per character) will impressive all younger and older "Star Wars" fans in the family.
For builders
Iron Man RC Extreme Hero (EB Brands, $69.99, for ages 8 and older, requires 6 AA batteries) — Tony Stark's armored alter ego takes to the skies in this massive, radio-controlled flyer. At almost 20-inches-long, the aircraft looks like a Mark IV version of Iron Man poised for mid-flight and is made of reinforced, structural foam, powered by twin-engine propellers and piloted with a 2.4 GHz controller (for about a 250-foot range).
The learning curve is painless as owners toss it like a motorized paper airplane, and it buzzes away waiting for steering commands. Budding aeronautical engineers should find a large open space, be careful not to be too reckless with Iron Man (that foam will break on hard impacts and require scotch tape) and watch the instructive videos (http://www.rcextremehero.com/) for flight tips. Parental note: Junior will get bummed by the short fly time (about 8 minutes) per every 45-minute charge.
Spider-Man Web Creator Lab (Uncle Milton, $34.99, for ages 6 and older) — Taking its cue from the mental rather than physical might of Marvel Comics' famed web slinger, this kit allows a child to create four types of webbing including sticky and stretchy versions as well as web balls and clinging web nets. Junior scientists melt reusable gel (2 red and 2 blue packets) using a beaker full of hot water (parental help required) and use the injection system and templates in the lab base to mold the webbing.
The box also offers a fact sheet comparing Spider-Man's various uses of webbing versus an actual arachnid. This creative use of Spider-Man's greatest power (his brain) should keep parents smiling as long as Junior keeps the gel off of the carpeting and fabric.
Police Station Zombie Defense (Hasbro, $26.99, for ages 7- to 14-years old, 270 pieces, 3 AAA batteries required) — With society's fascination with an undead apocalypse, it was just a matter of time before a company came up with a buildable playset for kids focusing on this horrifying subject.
Owners spend about 30 minutes assembling a building, gun turret and police car with Lego-like bricks; put together 1-inch tall mini figures of Deputy Strong, Sergeant Baker, Zombie Teen, Zombie Bandit; and Zombie Chief Zito and let the attack begin.
Two interactive features help the role-playing. First, a brick module that not only delivers creepy sound effects (moaning, sirens, police chatter and gunshots) but also vibrates the building and its surroundings. The vibrating helps some of the figures (perched on motion bricks) to move around by themselves, very similar to the technology of tabletop football games of years past.
Also, a QR code comes in the package to take the action online in a video game app (ages 9 and older) for tablets and smartphones. The set is part of the more massive fits within the Kre-O CityVille Invasion series (other sets such as Haunted Hideaway, $26.99 and Cemetery Heist, $11.99 are sold separately).
For collectors
Hulk Maquette (Sideshow Collectibles, $649.99) — Serious collectors smitten with the 2012 live-action movie "The Avengers" will pass out in pure joy after receiving the massive mixed-media ode to one of its film's angry stars.
Sideshow teams up with Legacy Effects (the studio that handled some of the film's modeling effects) to deliver a 1:4 scale, life-like version of the Hulk (based on actor Mark Ruffalo's computer-generated transformation) looking absolutely ripped from the movie screen.
Standing over 2 feet tall, the museum-quality masterpiece features such subtle detail as tattered and wrinkled, cloth pants, a glossy bottom lip (moist by the frothing of the misunderstood monster), enameled teeth and shiny fingernails. A tensed and dirtied green body and outstretched arms highlights its bulging muscles and veins while the Hulk's facial expression is one of pure rage.
He stands firm (feet entrenched) on a display base made up of a destroyed section of an asphalt city street even exposing underground an electrical cable. The price is an obvious choke point, but any adult fascinated by the Green Goliath will appreciate this gorgeous gift of Marvel's legendary superhero.
Klingon Bird-of-Prey (Diamond Select Toys, $70) — Sculpted by Art Asylum, this partially cloaked, translucent starship looks plucked from the film "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock." Measuring 19-inches-wide, with wings fully spread and 12-inches-long, the detailed plastic statue includes a button near the bridge that unleash dialogue snippets starring Christopher Lloyd as the infamous Klingon Commander Kruge, sounds such as torpedoes firing and decloaking and multiple lighting effects that really bring the Bird-of-Prey to eye-popping life. The ship includes a display base to mount it upon for generous ogling by Trekkers in the family.
Nightmare Batman (DC Entertainment, $124.95) — Based on the vampiric state of the Dark Knight in the upcoming video game Infinite Crisis, this 10-inch-tall masterpiece offers a frightening metamorphosis of DC Comics' brooding vigilante. Sculpted by Erick Sosa, owners get a man-bat-like monster complete with a blood-stained, grey-and -black costumes and golden utility belt who now sports long fangs, bat wings with talons, massive clawed hands and stand upon a metallic base. A definite "must have" for the picky Batman collector in the family.
For gamers
Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition (Warner, for PlayStation 4, rated Teen, $59.99) — This gorgeous third-person fighting game celebrates the heroes and villains of the DC Comics Universe with up to a pair of players controlling legendary characters in one-versus-one, frenetic and cinematic matches. With battles between such legends as Batman, Superman, the Joker and even Lobo (more than 30 adversaries in all), it's a comic-book fan's dream punctuated by a slick "alternate world" story, gorgeous cut scenes and devastating combination moves as characters battle from Gotham City to Metropolis.
The Ultimate edition includes an extra six characters, every version of costume culled from the downloadable content packs (from the Man of Steel's version of General Zod to Catwoman's garb from the Batman: Arkham City video game) as wells as the zombie mode (the entire cast turns undead). More than 250 single-player STAR Lab missions sweeten the deal.
Lego Marvel Super Heroes (Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, for Xbox 360, rated E10+, $59.99) — It took long enough for TT Games to finally bring Marvel Comics' massive stable of characters into Lego's popular video game universe. Much like the Lego Batman franchise, up to four players cooperatively take control of such talking blocky mini-figures as Spider-Man, the Hulk (an unstoppable brute worth appreciating in a block format), Captain America, Wolverine and even Marvel's patriarch Stan Lee (with eventually over 100 characters available). The goal is to construct, collect as well as destroy objects, vehicles, buildings and bad guys in such famed locales as Stark Tower and the X-Mansion.
It's a wonderful game for families and allows plenty of bonding time between parent and tweens as they thwart the plans of Loki, Doctor Doom, Magneto and other villains trying to build a world-destroying superweapon.
Transformers Rescue Bots Beam Box Game System (Playskool, $49.99, for ages 3 to 7-years old, requires 4 AA and 2 AAA batteries) — As a much cheaper alternative to such "real toy melds with video game" franchises as Disney Infinity and Skylanders, this younger child-friendly system plugs directly into a television and offers some very basic challenges starring Autobots and Decepticons.
After popping the included 2.5-inch-tall Optimus Prime figure into the Beam Box and pressing a top button to close the door, it reopens to find Optimus not in the box but appearing on the TV screen. There, he takes part in a collection of four mini-games ranging from side-scrolling robot battles to driving through a maze and catching Energon shards.
When done, another press on the Beam Box and the figure magically reappears for some extra, away-from-the-TV, role-playing. Additional Rescue Bot Beam Box game packs ($7.99 each) include Bumblebee, Heatwave, Blades and Boulder.

To help current and future civic and municipal leaders solve difficult policy problems, it has been announced that a new training and educational resource has been created to develop the necessary skills to competently tackle the most pressing issues facing local and regional leaders: The new Davenport Institute for Public Engagement and Civic Leadership at Pepperdine's School of Public Policy in Malibu. The institute's creation was announced by Pete Peterson, executive director of Common Sense California and James R. Wilburn, dean of the School of Public Policy at Pepperdine University. Peterson will assume the role of executive director of the new Davenport Institute, and he said the following of its role:
"We are extremely excited about the new public engagement training and consulting opportunities open to us through the creation of this new institute. If these last few years have taught us anything, it is that local and regional leaders throughout California are confronting more and more difficult policy decisions in new and creative ways, reaching out to their residents for ideas and actual participation in 'common sense' solutions. Through the new Davenport Institute we will continue to support them as they lead in the 'new normal' of tight budgets and tough land use decisions."According to a press statement about the new institute, its creations will expand the three roles that Common Sense California takes on to support public participation in local policy-making: "consulting on projects; funding them through grant programs and relationships with concerned foundations; and promoting the ever-growing field of public engagement through training, writing, and public speaking." The creators of the institute hope that it will serve as a greater platform to expand consulting and training services. Grants will eventually be available for cities, counties, and civic organizations. As for work with local officials, creators of the institute announced that "In fact, we are in the process of developing an 'Advisory Board' made up of local leaders from throughout California. We want the new Davenport Institute to continue to learn from and be responsive to governments and civic organizations that work at the local/regional level."

What's the Big Deal About Waiting for Marriage?
November 10, 2011
If Christians are supposed to be waiting until marriage for sex, they aren't doing a very good job at it. Statistics show as many as 80 percent of Christians in their 20s admit to having premarital sex.
I am one of those Christians.
I learned I was supposed to wait for marriage at a really young age. In fact, before I even really knew what sex was I knew the abstinence message: Having sex before marriage was just about the worst sin you could commit.
I was part of the True Love Waits generation. I read I Kissed Dating Goodbye and When God Writes Your Love Story. I even went on a youth group retreat where I was encouraged to write letters to my future husband. I did and kept them in a box under my bed. If any Christian was going to make it to the wedding day it should have been me.
So why didn't I?
I now believe I was asking all the wrong questions.
I knew I was supposed to wait for marriage for sex, but I didn't really know why. Instead of asking, "Why am I supposed to be doing this?" I spent most of my energy asking, "How far is too far?" or, "If I'm saving sex for marriage, can I have oral sex?" "How much kissing is too much kissing? Can I sleep in the same bed with someone?" "What if our clothes are on?"
The wrong questions pointed me in the wrong direction and I paid the price for it—I spent yearsof my life nurturing insecurities and growing in confusion, guilt andanxiety.
When I finally did talk to Christians about the reasons we werewaiting for marriage for sex, the answers I got were vague andconfusing. "Your body is a precious treasure and you need to treat itaccordingly." "Sex is a gift you only get to give away once." Theseexplanations didn't satisfy me. If sex was such a bad thing, I wondered, then how come it felt like such a good thing? What was it that happened after the wedding day that made sex suddenly OK? It all seemed soarbitrary.
I'm convinced we're asking the wrong questions. We're adults. We need to talk about sex like adults. We need to use the words that actually describe what we are doing. But if we're stuck asking questions like, "How far is too far?" we miss out on the answer to questions like this: "What does it mean when the Bible says to avoid sexual immorality?" "Why would God ask me to wait? Are there actual reasons?" "If sex (and all the things leading up to sex) are 'bad' then why does it feel so good?"I believe these questions have answers and we as Christians need to develop the courage to talk about them.
So, what is the big deal about saving sex for marriage? If we spend all day asking, "How far is too far?" we're creating a list of rules and regulations that are pointless. And we wonder why, at the end of the day—no matter where we set the boundary—we have a hard time keeping it.
There are reasons God asks us to wait for marriage for sex:
It Builds Trust. Trust that your spouse is the kind of person who can control his or her sexual urges. Trust that your spouse values his/her sexuality enough to guard it until marriage. Trust that your spouse values you and your needs above anyone else. Trust that your spouse understands the concept of self-sacrifice and delayed gratification.
Trust takes time to build. You might as well start now.
It Builds Friendship. Sex in addition to friendship creates a really lasting bond in a relationship—one that is hard to break. Sex without friendship is fragile and explosive. It's like an expensive vase set on an unsteady table. Just give it the slightest bump and it will tumble and break.
How are you working to be friends first?
Happiness Isn't Everything. If the purpose of my relationships is happiness, then any time I feel unhappy or uncomfortable the temptation will be to end my relationship. If the purpose of my relationship is holiness, then I'll see every discomfort as an opportunity to work toward becoming more whole.
Are your relationships making you happy, or are they making you whole?
You Are Valuable. Strong physical boundaries speak to your value. You are worth more than a movie ticket or a cup of coffee or a couple of dinners out. You are not that easily accessible. It takes more than that. Let your physical boundaries speak to the value you place on your sexuality.
Are you communicating the right message about your value?
Lust Is Not Manageable. If you think you can entertain lust in a dating relationship (or as a single person) and stop when you get married, you're in line for a rude awakening. Lust does not have a light switch.
Do you want to get rid of lust now or later?
Whether you waited for marriage, are sorting out your sexual history or just need a reminder your wait is worth it, we can address the questions of sex directly, with honesty. Let's start asking the right questions.
Ally Spotts is a 20-something writer and blogger (read her blog series on waiting until marriage for sex). Ally believes that what feels like a crisis is almost always an opportunity to step out in faith and do something crazy. She is the author of the e-book Asking All The Wrong Questions: Why Christians Are Waiting For Marriage For Sex. Follow what she is saying on facebook and twitter.

thankx for posting this - i think you raise some excellent points and definitely that of having been fed the wrong question as young people in terms of 'how far is too far?' and all of that - if we had been taught to value sex over being taught to run away from it there might have been some kind of difference...
keep on
love brett fish
specifically on that question i have a three parter answer which may be of help to some people: http://brettfish.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/i-kissed-dating-part-how-far-i...
I can't believe I missed this one. AWESOME TRUTH HERE! Thanks for sharing, Ally. Will be sharing this post with the Future Marriage University (FMU) community at https://www.facebook.com/FMUniversity.
And I encourage anyone struggling to stay pure to check out this post on our FMU Date Night Advice (DNA) blog: http://f-m-u.com/Blog/welcome-intercourse/
Below are some notes that are not my words, they are direct quotes from DivorceCare. (http://www.divorcecare.org/) I believe they are pertinent to this discussion.
Sex Before Marriage Clouds Your Judgment. "A struggle may come up, but then you kiss passionately, and the next thing you know, you're sleeping together and the struggle is set to the side. You don't know if the person's going to stay through conflict once you get married because you're not addressing the conflict when you're dating. It clouds everything to sleep together."Rob Eagar says, "Touching someone sexually makes your heart desire to bond with that person. What happens is your emotions and feelings get cranked up to such an intense level that you tend to overlook more important aspects of the relationship, such as character, spiritual depth, or maturity. Once you get involved sexually, it can cloud your thinking and you look at the relationship too much from an emotional standpoint rather than a factual standpoint concerning a person's integrity and commitment to loving you."
Sex Before Marriage Has Consequences. One consequence is the immense pain that comes at the end of any sexual relationship. Because you supernaturally bond with every person you have sex with, ending that relationship will result in a tearing of the bond, even if that bond was only created through a one-time act.
Rose Sweet says, "If you're sexually involved after divorce, there is a huge price to pay because sex is not isolated to the sexual act. God designed sex to be a whole person experience. Sex was intended to image God's free, full, faithful, and fruitful love. That four-fold love is only present in marriage. When sex does not reflect these four factors, it hurts everyone from the couple to the children to society. So, why subject yourself to a few moments of pleasure for months or years of pain?"
Having sex outside of marriage hurts your relationship with God. Since God is the source of life, peace, hope, comfort, security, and power—cutting yourself off from God will bring serious consequences.
Dick Purnell says, "The big downer when you get involved in sexual immorality is the loss of intimacy with God. When you are not connected to the vine of Jesus Christ, the eventuality is you're going to dry out and shrivel up the second you open the door to all the other fleshly desires that are in your soul—the carousing, the violence, the anger, the frustration. All this will start flooding your life, and you'll feel powerless with the onslaught."
The church has done a very poor job at addressing this problem, especially given the modern factors that have come into play. In the last century or so the age of puberty has dropped by about three years (or more) from 16 to 13 while the age people are getting married has jumped from the low 20s to the upper 20s and early 30s. Where puberty and the age of marriage where once much closer it is now possible to have a gap of 17 years - 17 years fraught with temptation in a hyper-sexualized culture. And the best the church can come up with is to slam a bunch of "Thou Shall Nots" down on people or take the liberal approach and say "Do what you want cause Jesus loves you just the way you are." Do we have any real theologians left who can speak to this subject with a balance of biblical knowledge, a respect for God's word and a sense of grace and dare I say common sense?
Good evening every one!!!
My name is Christiana Perez i am from United State... After five years in marriage
with my husband, he suddenly started going out with other ladies and coming home late at
night, i did all i could to stop his from this but each time i confront him it turns out
to be a combat between us, he even threatened to sign a divorce, it was really a hard
time for me until i met a old friend of mine who told me about a spell caster called
Dr. Ojuku who helps people solve their relationship or marriage problem by the power of

pressure from my friend and convincing i decided to give it a try, when i contacted the

so glad to have my lost lover back into my life again... Contact

Trevor Cahill for Cy Young?
Posted By Jeff Fletcher on August 26, 2010 12:44 pm
This is going to be the sixth year, if memory serves, that I have a Cy Young vote. I admit that I didn't always do the best job of voting. In fact, I voted for Barry Zito in 2002 when I should have voted for Pedro Martinez. Zito had more wins, but Pedro was better in every other way.
Anyway, now I feel like I've come to a good place where I have a handle on what I'm doing. I believe, as I've written several times before, that the Cy Young is not the Best Pitcher, and it's not the Most Valuable Pitcher. It's the Pitcher Who Pitched the Best. The two best ways to measure how effective a pitcher was, in my opinion, are his ERA and his opponents on-base percentage. After all, the job of a pitcher, when you boil it down to its essence, is to get outs and prevent runs.
So, here's who the leaders are right now among AL starters.
As far as I'm concerned, anyone who is on both of these lists is a Cy Young candidate, and anyone who is missing from one or the other has a lot of catching up to do. The only four guys who appear on both lists are Cliff Lee, Trevor Cahill, Jered Weaver and Felix Hernandez.
I think Lee is probably the leading candidate right now because his numbers are right there and he's got the buzz. Felix Hernandez also ought to get some serious consideration. You also can't discount CC Sabathia and David Price. They each appear on only one of these lists, but they are aces of good teams (which doesn't count, to me) and they have a lot of W's.
All that said, you can make a case that Cahill has been the best at the two most important jobs — getting outs and preventing runs — and he ought to win the Cy Young.
Of course, he won't, but it's fun to talk about.
By the way, Cy Young ballots go five-deep starting this year, so Cahill ought to get some recognition. Also, I have an NL Cy Young vote this year, so my opinion in this particular race doesn't count.

|Hey guys my name is Daniel and I started UrbanFarm210. Im still a young sprout when it comes to gardening (started mid summer last year) so Im really looking forward to a full grow season. Ill be keeping a video journal on my YouTube channel UrbanFarm210 and would appreciate all the feedback and advice I can get. Here's a link to my first video this year check it out!
Follow-Up Postings:
|Looks fishy to me.
|yes, that url doesn't look right with the . between the u and b!
Its not a real youtube url, that's for sure..
but I did a search on UrbanFarm210 and found there are some youtube videos out there, among some other stuff. :)
- Posted by UrbanFarm210 none (My Page) on Thu, Mar 1, 12 at 23:31
|Sorry guys thats the link that YouTube gave me and it works for me. Like melvalena said just search UrbanFarm210 and you'll see all my videos. Not the best but they are sure to improve. Not sure how its fishy.. other than my aquaponics.. but hey Im open to scrutiny.. Thanks for taking the time to look Melvalena!
|UrbanFarm210 - we sometimes get advertising which is not allowed, and possible "open the link and get a surprise....virus!" on this forum and I thought the same thing Melvelena did about the URL, so was afraid to try to go there. And I did see that you just joined the forum the same day which is an indication of advertising or worse. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, and hate to have to watch out for spammers etc., but it happens.

Researchers at the University of Missouri reported in the Journal Archives of Sexual Behavior that 35% of college students who had broken up with a longtime love engaged in casual sex to help them cope with the emotional pain brought on by the end of the liason, otherwise known as "rebound sex." An additional 25% said they "revenge sex" to get back at their ex-partner. Co-author of the study, University of Missouri Psychologist Lynne Cooper, commenting on the findings, observed that "people really do use sex as a way to get over or get back at their ex-partner in the aftermath of a breakup."
Rutgers University Anthropologist Helen Fisher has mapped the brain and discovered that there are three areas of the brain involved in our feeling romantic love. She found that the same areas of activity that allow us to feel intense romantic love also are the areas of activity after we are dumped by a lover or spouse. Professor Fisher says we feel the same release of dopamine in the brain with romantic love as we feel taking cocaine, which gives us the same feelings of focus, craving, distortion of reality, risk taking, tolerance, withdrawal and relapse. Because we feel "addicted" to a person as we would to cocaine, when it ends we feel more intense craving. We react by wanting to fill that need for a dopamine rush with another person or try to get our old lover's attention by starting a relationship with a new lover in an attempt get the old lover who made us feel so good to come back to us.

ABBA – "Dancing Queen"
In my teens I read a science fiction novel with a startlingly elegant twist. (I won't mention the book's name in case you come across it yourself.) It was about a brilliant scientist who vanishes: the book's protagonist goes looking for clues to what happened, and becomes close to the scientist's wife. And at a crucial juncture in the plot, the narration shifts, mid-paragraph, from third person to first: the scientist's "vanishing" was literal, and with a thrill of horror you realise he's been observing the action all along.
What on earth does this have to do with "Dancing Queen"? The song turns on a similar effect. Of all ABBA's twenty or so hit singles this is the only one with no first-person content – none of the "I" or "me" or "us" that populate almost all their records. Of course on one level this is coincidence – but the apparent lack of personal perspective is very unusual for ABBA. They're a band who like to ground their songs in experience and who pay close attention to a lyric's perspective; even a character song like "Head Over Heels" makes sure to establish its subject's relationship to the singer, right in the first line. "Dancing Queen" is entirely in the second-person – the song is directly addressed to a girl, but its narrator has, like the scientist in the novel, become invisible.
And yet there she is, all through the song, the prism for its observation – watching the dancing queen from the sidelines, vicariously feeling her freedom, her peak. What makes "Dancing Queen" a masterpiece is how it is both joy and the witnessing or memory of joy, and so much of this is down to the seamless, extraordinary shared lead vocal: Frida and Agnetha's voices combining to strengthen the chorus as it arcs upwards, but also shifting to softer, fonder registers as they wistfully look on – "leave them burning and then you're – gone…".
The music, when she first heard it, made Frida cry – but to stress the sadness in "Dancing Queen" would be to do it a disservice. It's not envious, or regretful, or bittersweet – it's a more generous ache, the recognition that "having the time of your life" is literal, that this moment might be as good as it gets, but still being warmed by the moment's incandescence. "Dancing Queen", like "Teenage Kicks", is one of those songs that captures the feeling that being young, dancing, loving is also to be living more intensely and wonderfully than anything else. But "Dancing Queen" goes further, tries to share that fire – "You can dance! You can jive!", suddenly the "you" is, well, you. And him and her and me.
The vocals in "Dancing Queen" betray that this inclusiveness is, ultimately, doomed: the music does its best to deny that. Certainly its beat is democratic – you rarely see anyone dance well to "Dancing Queen", which is a different thing from the cheap shot of its being 'undanceable'. Everything in the arrangement is vibrant, exciting – the trilling intro, the sashaying keyboards in the "turn him on" verse – but of course it's all in service to the magnificent piano part, its fusion of rock rhythm with light classical swagger, its top-end chords as pure a joy as anything pop's given us.
That piano line turned up again three years later, changed slightly in a pop world that seemed overturned, and it almost pushed Elvis Costello – a perennial sideline-lurker who'd long seen the tears as well as the grins in ABBA - to Number One himself. Even by then "Dancing Queen" had become ABBA's monolith, and by their 90s revival it was omnipresent. There's an irony, maybe, that a song about the fleet intense beauty of youth, love and movement should have become such an ossified monument to 'perfect pop' – but when I play it that really never seems to matter.
Comments« 1 … 7 8 9 All
"a checklist of all those words and expressions used in newspapers and never IRL"-suprised no one has mentioned my favorite- the classic 'bedded' as in "Theakston bedded the 21 year old stunner"…
I think you'll find that DJ Punctum mentioned it in post #185.
Oh here's a useful rule of thumb: If ever a headline is about the doings of a 'TOP TORY' then the story will be about a politician that you've never heard of.
If they really were a top Tory, then their name would have been used, because the reader would have recognised it.
Not necessarily the case with Top Tory Drummer Bev "Bev" Bevan, of course…
I don't dance, can't dance, get panicky at the thought of dancing. But need to be welded to my seat when this ccomes on. It's just so life-affirming.
Surely at some stage in her life every right-thinking girl has a gay best friend who's ever-keen to prime her with lavish G&Ts, all the better to share the spotlight when DQ grabs the floor?
Must be a 10.
(BTW I played I Want You from youtube just before I went to bed the other night. Big mistake. Kept me awake and not because of my usual aversion to Mr Costello's voice – OA apart). Powerful stuff.
Maybe that's where I'm going wrong – I obviously need a gay friend.
re#201-Oops! had to read the list again twice before i saw it- must be going blind in my old age…
I'm pretty sure I have used the word "romp" in real life (never referring to sexual doings though), but that could just be part of my suave-Brit-in-America persona, I also use "groovy" a lot.
There was a story last week that the Queen – that's THE Queen – was seen dancing to this at Peter Phillips' wedding reception on Cup Final day. A few awkward glances at the "you're a teaser, you turn them on" line, I guess. (Who the hell gets married on Cup Final day? – apart from my mate who asked me to be best man and made me miss the Coventry-Spurs classic in 1987. But I digress.)
I know a number of us on this site are or have been DJs. So here's a challenge. You're behind the decks at a Royal bash, you're playing "Dancing Queen" and you spot Queenie strutting her stuff on the dancefloor. What do you cue up next to see whether she stays out there or sits it out? (A certain controversial Number 2 hit is not allowed on the grounds that (a) it's too obvious and (b) it could earn you a spell in the Tower.)
I'd go with "Honky Tonk Woman", with high hopes of a Betty/Camilla dance-off during the first verse.
'The Crown' by Gary Byrd?
She's not really the intended audience, but the chorus ("You wear the crown!") would fit.
"I Hate The White Man" by Roy Harper.
Not a DJ yet… ;-)
"I Want You" by the Inspiral Carpets and Mark E Smith.
No Royal connection, but I'd fancy trying "Can Can" by Bad Manners.
don't try it
I really can't explain why, but I loathe this song with a passion nowadays. When it first came out, I remember quite liking it without being overwhelmed, especially those Pertwee-era Radiophonic Workshop-esque twiddles/fanfares between the lines of the verses.
It's probably down to the ossification that you so correctly pinpoint. This has become so much a song regarded as "Perfect Pop Music – END OF!!!" – when it really isn't – that it's changed for me from a pleasant if throwaway distraction to a pain in the arse. How many times? – NO MORE FUCKING ABBA!!!!
That`s stupid
So I guess I was 16 when this came out, and they were part of the landscape, remembering them from Eurovision and all, and of course it was all over the radio and TOTP and stuff, and they were already commercially huge; but evidently I didn't connect with this "instant pop classic" at the time.
I remember the moment I did connect with it — more than 20 years later, on a summer holiday lazing in a beach-bar on an island in Thailand, and this came on (coz they played ABBA for all the Australian tourists) and my reaction was, "You know, when you come to think about it, maybe they were quite good after all."
I think that is the core of my issue with this song, and the rest of the ABBA canon. It never felt relevant to me when it came out, even though, as a 70s teenager, I was their target audience.
Trying to think yourself back into your mindset more than 30 years ago is bound to be selective, but I know my mental bookmarks at the time were saying "ABBA, Boney M, stuff like that" — which was undoubtedly better than the bookmark that said "Chicago, David Soul, boring stuff like that" or the bookmark that said "Bay City Rollers, crap like that" — but it was still filed away in a general category of "not for me."
Listening to it now, I can see that it is very good, and I can feel what has been described here as the sadness it contains– although it seems more like wistfulness to me — in a way I never felt at the time. But still my problem is, why it took 20 years before I realized it was "quite good really, after all"?
So, I reckon, it comes to a question of relevance.
ABBA were never relevant to me, at the time. Nothing they did ever spoke to anything that was happening in my life. They were always there, cute songs on the radio, but they never meant anything. They never spoke to me.
To me, the sadness — wistfulness — is that they only started to speak to me 20 years later. Was that what they intended?
Still, it's "quite good really, after all," I suppose.
Abba, some nice sounds, out of a whole lot of great stuff around this time. The best thing about Abba by far was the blonde – the best singer and, hands down, best looking woman in Abba and in pop at that time.
#219: well, they were adults, late 20s, early 30s, and they were writing as that – not aiming it at teenagers, I think. At families sometimes, sure, but that's a different thing.
Brilliant lead-off essay by Tom. Reading it originally hooked me on Popular….so, thanks! The song is, of course, a complete wonder – an absolute, gold standard 10. DQ is the first single I ever bought, and it remains a favorite. The vid. has a special moment that is worth remarking on, which I don't think anyone's mentioned above: the camera's in relatively tight on Frida for the 'Anybody could be that guyyyyyy…' line. She looks directly at us and smilingly wrinkles her nose as she hits the 'Anybody' (she's talking to *you*, pal). It's a deliciously flirtatious, sexy moment. As a pre-pubescent I wasn't *quite* plugged into this at the time, but I did register something. It was certainly the beginning of my awareness that the media emphasis on Agnetha as 'the hot one'/the fetishized blonde swede was quite misplaced. It was Frida who, for whatever reason, was happier, more fun, confident, more comfortable with being a sexy singer/front-woman, etc.., and it all made sense when it emerged (early in 1977 IIRC) that all was not well between Bjorn and Agnetha.
I was 10 years old, running around like a mad thing. That summer we lost a cat, our dog lost her virginity on holiday in Devon. She got summarily speyed as soon as we got home. It had been a summer of stand-pipes, skateboards, go-karts, long country walks, visits to the beach, the best deep brown tan of my life, lidos and then…back to school. I'll always remember DQ as a back to school song, but no doubt that would never take the shine off it. It was on the radio in my Dad's Capri (mk 1). It was a joyous time for me at least. I had no knowledge of money troubles or that being the last summer that Mum and Dad would holiday together. Next year, Dad would get a contract abroad that would take him away for 2 years and burden him with a sizeable tax-debt as well. 10 year old kids have no knowledge of stuff like that. I do remember 76 being the last year everything was really good (not even the cat passing could take the shine off it).
DQ was part of that perfect summer, and I always smile when I hear it. Carefree days! Nailed on 10.
Dancing Queen grows in importance. Something about it, the joy, the vibrance marks a halcyon period in Western Civilisation. Could that song be written now? I doubt it!
Dancing Queen had an awesome B-side, 'That's me'(which is also on Arrival). That song is great but has an infamous main couplet, 'I'm Carrie not the kind of girl you'd marry/ That's me' which has always mildly embarrassed, or made listeners uncomfortable because it's a painful note to strike (very characteristic of latter Abba as it happens). Anyhow, I just stumbled across a v. fun 7 min dance remix of 'That's me' on youtube which kind of solves this problem (such as it is) for the song by dilating for its whole length on 12 bars of piano from the song, and just using the two word title (i.e., omitting the carrie/marry stuff). The vid's pretty nifty too. Go here if you're interested.
Having 0 points of reference, discovering this circa 1989 via stealing my parents' shonky cassette copy of an Abba best-of -
(digression: I never knew what the original source of this was, my parents had clearly copied it off one of their mates at some stage, but I was never quite sure if it was a real compilation or just a load of stuff taped from records and the radio – either way it had clearly been edited and added to because some DJ's voice appeared in the gap before the last song ("Under Attack" missing a few seconds off the beginning), with two different comments spliced together giving half a chart position ("…ba, down from number thDown this week from… BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM Don't know how to take it don't know where to go", I can still remember that perfectly)
- I thought this was pretty much perfect. I had no points of reference and knew nothing about Abba, so when some tabloid ran a Eurovision-themed competition asking which song Abba had won the title with (is it A. Waterloo, B. Super Trouper, C. Dancing Queen), I entered by answering C, because this would so clearly have swept all competition before it.
I didn't win.
More tabloid-only words.
I remember having to sing this in some '70s medley for 6th grade (along with such evergreens as You Light Up My Life and Tie a Yellow Ribbon), and I and a friend ended up singing 'dig up the dancing queen,' like digging her dead corpse from a grave. 12 year old me found this HILARIOUS.
Great reading all these.
Maybe "with a bit of rock music" is Bjorn and Benny's gibe at disco, with a Lou Reedian implication of "her life was saved by rock and roll."

Panel Speaking with Nonprofits and Government Class this Weekend
Marcia Avner and Jon Pratt teach a class every fall called Nonprofits and Government. The course focuses on these two sectors and the many ways in which they can and could related to one another. This weekend, they have put together a panel of speakers that will share insights from the city, county and state perspectives. The discussion will revolve around ways in which nonprofit/government interactions benefit the community and the role of nonprofits in shaping city, county and state policies and priorities.
Steve O'Neil will provide his perspective on how county government and nonprofits can work together. Steve O'Neil has been St. Louis County's District 2 Commissioner since January 2005. O'Neil is a longtime community organizer who has been active in issues relating to housing, poverty, and public health for over thirty years. He works on behalf of many community organizations, including the Dylan Committee, American Lung Association, and CHUM. He has taught at the University of Minnesota Duluth, the College of St. Scholastica, the University of Wisconsin Superior, and works as a trainer and consultant. He has a Masters of Social Work from the University of Minnesota Duluth.
Finally, Sen. Becky Lourey will be disussing collaborative efforts between state government and nonprofits. Sen. Lourey served three terms in both the MN Senate (1996-2006)and House (1990-1996). Among her many accomplishments and passions, Lourey has been advocating for basic, affordable health care for all Minnesotans since the early 1980s. She co-chaired the Minnesota Public Health Association's Public Affairs Committee and has been a longtime member of the Rural Health Advisory Committee. Lourey co-authored the MinnesotaCare package in 1992, as well as the Small Business Health Care Insurance Reform provisions. In 2005, Lourey received the Joan and Walter Mondale Award for Public Service.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Before addressing the media following the Toronto Raptors' 102-98 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, Dwane Casey apologized. His voice was barely there. He had a cold, he said.
He did not mention that it was probably his pleading with the officials, not a virus, that ravaged his perpetually faltering vocal cords. Nonetheless, he was not wallowing in self-pity. He was thinking about his point guard's suffering, instead.
Casey rhymed off Kyle Lowry's ailments: a sore knee, the same knee that sidelined him for three games near the end of the season, a sore elbow and a busted lip. The knee injury, re-aggravated in the first quarter, is the most serious concern. Lowry said he was delighted to have the opportunity to ice his knee at this stage of the season. He was in fine form.
"He's been in a 15-round battle," Casey said. "But he's going to be OK."
"That's a great analogy right there," said Lowry, who took a stitch to his lip on the play that fouled him out of the game.
Like Lowry, the Raptors were wobbling on the ropes for most of the third and fourth quarters on Friday night, before putting together a spirited string of jabs and uppercuts late in the fourth. It was not enough, and the Raptors now trail their series 2-1. For Raptors fans, how they feel about their team is now a thorough examination of their worldview.
The Raptors turned the ball over 19 times, the third-straight game they were squandering away possessions.
"We've got to figure it out now," Lowry said of the turnovers. "Not tomorrow. Now."
Terrence Ross was a total non-factor again, benched for the final 19 minutes of the game. Amir Johnson was flat. Lowry is hurt. The offence struggled for the middle two quarters, with passing virtually disappearing for a short while. They cannot stop Joe Johnson or Deron Williams with any regularity.
And yet.
"There's nothing in this game that discouraged me for our team," Casey said.
That is a decidedly optimistic view, although with some just cause. Patrick Patterson missed two free throws with 19 seconds remaining that would have tied the game, despite a 14-point lead just four minutes earlier. Patterson called the misses his first botched free throws in clutch situation in his life.
"Everybody misses free throws once in a while," Lowry said. "That s— happens. I'm just being honest. Pardon my French. It happens."
The Raptors have not touched their best game, and they have won one game, led in the fourth quarter in another and nearly pulled even on Friday. Privately, the Raptors feel they are not getting a fair whistle from the referees. Greivis Vasquez's foul and ensuing technical foul on Williams with 43 seconds left was a legitimate blunder. The foul that ended Lowry's evening shortly after was equally questionable, although the Raptors got a few generous calls in the final minute, too. The call that sent Patterson to the line would not always be called in the fourth quarter of a close game in the playoffs, either.
Vasquez was careful to say he did not blame the referees for the loss. The Raptors are privately irate, though.
"I mean, is that something new?" Patterson said about the officials. "In regards to calls not going our way or us feeling a certain way about referees, it has been taking place all year long. For us to think it is going to change in the playoffs, we are fooling ourselves."
"They're a great team," an annoyed Casey added. "We give them credit. We respect them. Let's let the game be decided by that."
The officiating has been poor. However, the Raptors have yet to make Brooklyn really earn their wins. The Nets might well be the better team in this series, but they have not played particularly well for more than a few minutes at a time. It is clear that they can be beaten. Regardless of everything else, the Raptors cannot expect to win their first playoff series since 2001 without playing a single good game. Sometimes, this sport is basic.
