Oral History Program Betty Hoke Fernelius Interviewed by Marci Farr 14 September 2010 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Betty Hoke Fernelius Interviewed by Marci Farr 14 September 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The St. Benedict's School of Nursing was founded in 1947 by the Sisters of Mount Benedict. The school operated from April 1947 to 1968. Over the forty-one year period, the school had 605 students and 357 graduates. In 1966, the program became the basis for Weber State College's Practical Nursing Program. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the graduates and to add to the history of nursing education in Ogden. The interviews focus on their training, religion, and experiences working with doctors, nurses, nuns, and patients at St. Benedict's Hospital. This project received funding from the Utah Humanities Council and the Utah Division of State History. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

In this interview, Betty discusses her recollections and experiences with the St. Benedict's School of Nursing. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing Betty Hoke Fernelius. She graduated in 1950 from the St. Benedicts School of Nursing. It is September 14, 2010. We are interviewing her via telephone. Where do you live at? BF: I live in San Carlos, California. MF: San Carlos, that's right. BF: Just between San Francisco and San Jose. MF: Okay. Will you just share with us a little bit about where you grew up and a little bit about your family and where you attended school at? BF: I was born in 1929 in Denver, Colorado. My mother and father were both widow and widower and they married January 16, 1929. By November when I was born, they had already split up. It was second family...he had girls and my mother had teenage sons so it just didn't work. It was during the Depression too and you know, things were kind of....so that's where I stand as far as...my mother raised me and it was difficult during the Depression, very difficult in fact. She never did have a lot of money, so that's how I ended up in the long run coming to St. Benedict's. I had two half sisters on my father's side whom I talk to occasionally but that is it. My mother's children when she married my father-she had three boys and a daughter. The nearest one to me was eight years and the others were a 2 sister that is ten years older and two brothers in their teens. All of my family is dead now so I'm an orphan. MF: You are the orphan, oh. What made you decide to become a nurse? BF: Well, I went to school with Imogene (xxx) who is also a student. She had left Utah and went back to her native Illinois with her parents. That was during my junior year so I didn't see her then. They moved back for her senior year. Imogene has wanted to be a nurse all her life from the very beginning of anything, a nurse is what she wanted to be. So I knew I was probably not going to be able to go for anything and she was so adamant about being a nurse so I thought, well I'll be a nurse too. So that's what made me decide. MF: Well that's good. So why did you like St. Benedict's? Was it because it was close? BF: No, what happened was she and I, after we got out of high school, I had to go to summer school to pick up some course credits. I moved from Denver and somehow the credits didn't work out and I had to go to summer school. I didn't know about it and then I met one of the office girls in Kaysville, where I lived, it's a small town. She told me I was going to have trouble. I knew I had to go to summer school, so I did and I got my credit. Now, the Dee Hospital offered a nursing scholarship to Davis High students but they started in August and I think I probably would have had that because I was on the honor roll and as it turned out some very nice little Japanese girl got it. I don't know whether she was on it or not, but she got the scholarship. I couldn't have gotten it anyhow because I didn't have anything done. 3 MF: So Elsie Okamota? BF: Yeah, I think so. MF: Sarah just saw her today. BF: Oh really? She was a really neat girl. There were a lot of Japanese kids there and they're parents were mostly farmers. MF: Thank you for sharing that with us. What were your first impressions when you entered nurses training? Was this your first time away from home? BF: Yeah, away from home to live. The way it came about was, Imogene and I went everywhere we could think of. We even tried the army because they had had the cadet nurses. We thought maybe there was something that we could do. But that was gone and you couldn't do it. That was a neat deal, boy. One day, Mildred Freeman, our friend brought the Ogden paper to us and on the back of the page was a little tiny ad that said the nuns at St. Benedict's would take students into the nursing school on a loan or scholarship. It was $250.00 and you could go through on that and when you were finished you would pay it back. So we technically paid for our own education but that's the opportunity we got then. I will be forever grateful for that. So the very next day, she and I went up and saw Sister Mary Margaret and told her we wanted to be roommates and she wasn't sure that was a good idea but she conceded. We went straight downtown to the doctor and got our shots. They made me very sick, I remember. Imogene and I and Laura Brown and Dorothy Thompson and Ethel Benson and Rosalynd George were the ones that were left out of, I think, twelve that came in in January. The class had 4 already come in September. We were going to go to summer school to make up the classes that the girls in September had already had so we could all graduate together. The only difference would be that our finishing date would be different. They were through in June, probably right after graduation, and we would go on until the last part of December. Our dates varied depending on whether we took our vacation or not. Imogene did not take her vacation so she finished two weeks earlier than I did. I got out the 29th of November. MF: Well, that's great. Were you roommates with Imogene the whole time? BF: Yes. MF: Did you get along really well? BF: We were very good friends and we're really tangled up by marriage too. I don't know if you want that story right now or not. MF: Go ahead. BF: Into my second year, in July, someone came in and wanted to know if I wanted to go on a blind date that night. I was in the special diet kitchen and at the time I told her I was a mess, leaning over the steam table getting the special diets out and stuff like that. But she talked me into it so I got ready that night. We were going to go up the canyon. I looked out the window to see who was coming. I was interested because after he mentioned his name-Imogene was going with a boy named Glen Fernelius Marshka and his middle name was Fernelius. I thought that was the craziest name and I wanted to go out with someone who's name was Fernelius. I said, "I got to see this." As it turns out Keith's cousin is Glen's mother. So his father and Glen's mother's father were brothers. That 5 meant that when we got married, Keith and I, and when Imogene and Glen got married, that made us second cousins by marriage. MF: Well, there you go. BF: So we stayed in contact all these years. It's a permanent friendship. MF: That's a great thing. So do you have any other stories that you remember about Imogene or your other classmates that happened while you were in training? BF: Well, I better finish mine I guess. I met Keith in July, it was just past his birthday, the 19th of July. I saw that man and I had to have him. That was it. As it turned out it really blossomed then. Of course, we couldn't get married then. Keith was twenty nine and I was nineteen at the time. This relationship was not like it is today where you can just do as you please morally. We didn't. Sometime in December he says, "Well, why don't we get married." And I said well how about the end of the year, December 31st, over that weekend. So we planned to go to Elko and get married and keep it secret for a year! Imogene knew what I was doing but nobody else. So we did! We were married in Elko, Nevada, December 31, 1949. We agreed that nothing would change in our behavior. We would be very careful and if we even needed to go out with somebody else, to keep our secret, then we would. Nothing went wrong until August. Keith's mother's sister, an aunt, was in Elko, Nevada to visit a cousin. Keith told me he had a cousin but we didn't think anything about it because we had asked them not to print anything in the paper. So they didn't print anything in the Ogden paper but they did print it in the Elko paper. His cousin saw but kept it to herself for some reason because she 6 was confused that she hadn't heard anything. Bless her heart. So Keith's aunt comes back and doesn't go to Keith's mother, her sister, but she tells her daughter and her son. This is about August or September. Roy, his cousin, went to Don something, who Ethel was going with and he told him about this. So Ethel comes to me in November and says that she heard I got married. I denied it. Then I got to thinking that she's my friend and I would have a better chance of her keeping my secret that I have of not telling her and her going and telling somebody else. So I took her in my confidence and she said that she wouldn't say anything. So nobody found it out. I think I only told Sister Berno after because she and I had become friends in a way. She was crazy about Keith. So that's the story and it's a miracle nobody found out. MF: That is a great story and it's a good thing nobody found out because you would have been kicked out. BF: Oh yeah. Now Norah was married and had children when she came in. She had to live with the nuns while her husband and children moved in with her parents. They did take her but it was very strict conditions. MF: What do you remember about the sisters? BF: I remember our first night there. We were nothing but giggles because things were so strange for us. I'm not Catholic and neither is Imogene and so this was all new to us. It didn't take long for us to learn that there was no giggling and no silliness. They were very protective of the students which I have been forever thankful for. They wanted us to stay on a serious road and taught us that it means a lot and it was a job to do and we had to do it their way. But they were 7 fun too. I remember that we went out and climbed trees once on Arbor Day and they'd come out and play ball with us too. They'd reach down and pull their habits up and pin them on their chest so they could run around the bases just like we did. They loved parties. You had to have a formal dance and they liked nothing better than to see us all dressed up in formal dresses. They liked to have fun. MF: That's fun to see that because I don't think that would be a normal perception of the nuns. BF: No. But they were all business too. I have never in my life had a teacher better than Sister Estelle's. I was on the honor roll in high school. When we took chemistry and we were partners and they let partners use their books for tests, we both had a terrible time. He let us come in after school for extra work and he gave us a C-. He did pass us. If we hadn't had good grades that would have made a difference. Within a week in Sister Sill's chemistry class, it was like a curtain was drawn and it was just perfectly clear. I knew exactly what to do and how to balance equations and I thought that is the difference between a teacher and a good teacher. MF: That does make a difference if you can understand what they're trying to explain. BF: Yes, she was really something. They all were. The only one that all of us had a problem with was Sister Mary Gerald. She taught something like ethics and everybody failed the test. In my mind, I didn't feel that was right. We had to do extra work and she did pass everybody after that. But the other nuns were wonderful teachers. The doctor's gave our lectures on everything. Miss Barton, 8 she's the one in the picture in the paper with the cute little cap with the black stripe around it, she graduated. MF: So is that Jean Barton? BF: Yes. MF: We just interviewed her yesterday. BF: Did you? MF: Yes. BF: She, to me, is the perfect nurse. She dresses just meticulously. She graduated from Massachusetts General which is probably the best nursing school in the country. Her uniform was always perfect, never a spot on it. She wore cuffs up over her long sleeves like the nuns do. She was just a beautiful person. She was so kind and nice. Miss Camira was more business-like but was still an excellent person too. Anything we did to the patient in the line of treatments we had to do to each other. The Levine tube to put down for suction, we swallowed the Levine tube. Everybody did but one girl. There was another army nurse, a black nurse, on a medical floor. She had been in the army too and she was again, very meticulous about her appearance. She was more withdrawn than Miss Camira. Miss Camira was very nice. MF: What would you do with your classmates if you had a night off? BF: We only had one day a week off. Up to the time we got our caps, we had every weekend, but after that, we had one day a week off. Even if you had the day off you still had to go to classes. On Saturday and Sunday we worked eight hours. It was split shift. The morning and the afternoon. If you were on nights, you worked 9 the night shift, you came home and slept a little bit but then had to be up by ten for classes. You stopped at 11:30 for lunch and a nap if you were lucky and back at two or one for classes. At three you'd go back for afternoon care. Sometimes we had night lectures so you slept maybe two or three hours a day. It's not like that now. They soon decided that you couldn't do that. Our training was different but I wouldn't trade it for anything. We got the best and we learned a lot. We were given a lot of responsibility. In the course of a year we were already on night shift on the medical floor. We had to have six months on the medical floor, six months on the surgical floor, and a lot of months on OB. We did six weeks in the diet kitchen, eight weeks in surgery, two weeks in the formula lab and three or four months in the psychiatric unit. MF: Which was your favorite of the rotations? BF: OB. I ended up a nursery nurse. After I finished I worked six months at the LDS Hospital as a graduate nurse because we didn't take our state boards until March and we didn't find out about them until May or June. So it was six months we were working for $190.00 a month. Imogene was in pediatrics and I was in the nursery. My husband and I were having a heck of a time making it because he was on the GI Bill and going to school at the University. Then he went down looking for a job after he finished his post graduate work at the training school in American Fork. Do you know about that? MF: I've never heard of that. BF: In American Fork, the state has a training school for mentally retarded children and adults. No babies. They are dependants of the state. When they found out I 10 was a nurse, he was hired. I went down there. There were 800 patients. I was just barely a registered nurse. The nurse there was pregnant and she was leaving and she was the only one. I worked that way, the only one, on call, every night of my life, in the five years that I was there. MF: To deal with 800 patients. BF: Anything that happened-I was it. I did everything there. I diagnosed. I would give medication. We had a lot of epileptics. If they went into status, which is one seizure after another and it doesn't stop, I'm the one that went over and stopped it with the medication. If a kid put his fist through the window and cut his arm, I sewed him. I was good too. That's the kind of thing I did down there. My husband always wanted to get down to the Bay Area and when San Mateo County's supervisor came to University of Utah to recruit, he had a very good friend who was a professor there and she called Keith and said they're hiring if you want to come up and check this. So he went up and they were glad to get him. By this time he had five years experience. So that's when we came. It would have been July of 1956 or 1957. Now, where were we? I got a couple stories. One of them may not be allowed. MF: Oh come on. We like the ones that aren't allowed. You've got to tell that story. BF: Okay, I was working on a medical floor. I'm a student nurse, nineteen years old. We did baths in those days. If they were in the hospital they got a bed bath. They didn't go to a shower or something. I had this man in room 202 I'll never forget. He was by himself in the room. I was bathing him and there's a certain way that you bathe them. When you get ready to do their legs, you bring the blanket over 11 and you tuck it in around so nothing is seen as far as the man's genitalia. As I was tucking the blanket around to wash his leg, he looked at me and he said, "What's the matter? Are you afraid you going to touch something?" [laughter] I don't know what type of family he had or where he came from but I just left the room and I was almost in tears. I was naive enough that I knew what he said was wrong but not exactly. I went to the desk to Sister Cassian who was the supervisor (she a beautiful woman, the most beautiful nun I'd ever seen) and she wanted to know what was the matter. I told her what he'd said to me and down she goes to Sister Mary Margaret's office. Sister Mary Margaret came up and if you've ever known Sister Mary Margaret, you'd know you don't tangle with her because she was the administrator of the world. She could do everything. Like at Christmas if we got a present, it was because she'd talked some business into giving it to us. Our flowers at graduation or when we got married she got donated from the florist. That's just the type of person she was. She walked into that room and she dressed him down and told him that she was responsible for sixty some women that were our ages, and she said this is something that we don't tolerate and I hate to think that any man in Ogden would do this. She said, "You call your family and tell them to come get you because you're not staying in this hospital. You can go to Dee." He begged her and he begged her to please, please let him stay. He said he'd apologize but she wouldn't let me in the room. After she said, "Well, you're going home. I'm talking to the doctor and you're going out of here as soon as you can go. There will not 12 be another student nurse in here to take care of you. You'll be taken care of by the orderlies." Well, we only had one orderly and that was Bob and he worked with us. So he got his care during the day, but except for his care, the student nurses didn't go in there anymore. That's the type of protection that we got. MF: So did you have any rotations? BF: No, our last year they had a couple of openings at the (xxx). We were about finished but Rosalynd George and Laura Brown got to take it. I think probably because their parents paid their tuition right away and we owed ours still. But as far as disease, we did have the polio epidemic there. We took care of polio patients. We had no problem with that part of our training to get that experience. Also, for psychiatry, Doctor O'Garman had the psychiatric unit on a private patient basis in the basement. They had anywhere from, I think maybe, ten to fifteen or twenty patients at a time. In those days they were on insulin treatment which is not done now. MF: That's true. Did that kind of procedure make you nervous? BF: No. You do what you do. I'm surprised what nineteen year olds can do. We were there either with another student at night or we were there in the daytime to be oriented. At four thirty we would start and we'd draw up the insulin and some of them would get shock treatment. At 5:30 we would give the ones that just got insulin, insulin. There was a lock up room down the hall for a person who might be hard to handle. The doctor told us when we were there the first time, never to turn our back on the patients. And then at 4:30 we'd go in and put a waist restraint on them that's hooked to the bed and we'd take their temperature and 13 we'd check their vital signs every fifteen minutes. By the time we left at seven they'd be out and in convulsions some of them. At seven the ones that got the electric shock, the doctor would bring his little black box for. I was there for some of those-he'd have everybody there when he was doing it because it takes everybody to throw yourself over the person- one over the knees, one over the chest, one over the middle and then he'd hit the button and a second would go by and then a wham! and they'd stiffen. Then they'd start to shake and it would wear down and that was it. Then the day people would pass a Levine tube and give them Glyco, they called it, it was a sugar that you mix so many ounces of that with so many ounces of coffee. Then you'd tube that stuff in them. It's a predigested sugar more or less so it absorbs very quickly. When they'd come around then they'd have a shower and then a big breakfast. It was awful when you think of it. MF: How long where you doing the psych training? BF: I think it was no more than four months. Colleen Creedon was in there with me. She was the next class to come in. She was a lot of fun. We were there at Christmas time and we had a lady down in lock up. The funny thing is, she was in Keith's parents ward, and she was nuttier than a fruitcake and really out of it. She was thinking her husband was cheating on her and she'd put a ladder to the house and go up and look in the windows and just crazy stuff. She was down there too and was hard to handle. I remember Colleen and I would go down with her meals and sit with her while she ate. It was Christmas so we thought we'd do 14 her hair and we put curlers in. When we checked she had taken them out and was flushing them down the toilet and dipping her head in the toilet. It was awful! MF: Oh, that's not good. BF: We recorded that but very carefully. The doctor would want to know that. We had a young man just out of high school and he was very handsome and very strong and athletic. He was six foot tall-a man in a young man's body. The doctor said to watch him very closely. We did but nothing happened. I remember we had a hard time getting him under with the insulin and it took almost four hundred units of insulin to put him in a depth three which is the level of consciousness that we wanted them. That had to be hard, you know? MF: Wow. That is so interesting. BF: He told us on the electric shock machine, that the Japanese started doing it for the mentally ill. The way they did it was they just hooked them up to a regular electric cord and then plugged them in to the wall and jerk it out. I'm not kidding you! You can imagine. We had scarlet fever that had run through there too and by that time I had trained one of the ladies who was very smart. We got through a scarlet fever epidemic. Of course, penicillin takes care of that. That's all we had at that time. MF: Scary stuff-just having primitive treatments. BF: I know. I think we had the most unique and the best education that you could have possibly had. You were prepared to handle anything. MF: You were trained in every part of the hospital. 15 BF: Yes. While, I'm thinking of this- I'll tell you know before I forget. I was working at Sequoia, a hospital in Redwood City for twenty two years in the nursery and the OB. Up in the nursery one night a nurse came in, a young lady, and she had a cap on. Of course, a lot of people wear that because it's one you can get out of a catalogue. Ours were a little different. The ones that the nuns made were nicer than the ones that you buy. This young lady walks in and as I get closer to her I said you're from St. Benedict's in Ogden? She said yes. So that's the only time I ever run into a classmate or a person from St. Benedict's. It was about that time I realized most of the young ones I was working with- that I was old enough to be their mother. That was a hard one to take too when that suddenly dawned on me. MF: That would be. So where was your graduation held? BF: The capping was held at the chapel at the hospital there. We came in and it was done by the nuns and they gave you your cap. The graduation was done at the Catholic Church and I don't remember the name. MF: St. Joseph's? BF: The Bishop from Salt Lake was there too. We had our capes by then, which my daughter later used when she was in college to wear around to keep her warm. She took all the stuff off of it and it's hanging in my closet now. Anyhow, we had our capes and we marched from the hospital with the flowers in our arms all the way down to the church. Then we went up and they called your names and you went up in front of the Bishop and he'd say something. That was kind of difficult for me because we had to kiss his ring. I did it. They didn't force us to go to church or anything like that. I was going downtown to the church and I'm not a 16 Mormon either. I was going down to the Baptist church. Now I'm sorry to say, I'm an Atheist. I don't go anywhere. MF: So that was probably wonderful to be done with your nurses training and graduate and be able to wear your cap proudly. BF: Yes. We were taught you never wear your cap outside in the streets or anywhere. You keep it at work. I can't tell you how many times I have seen- I don't think they wear them anymore. My daughter is a registered nurse and she works up in the city at California Medical Center and they don't wear uniforms or anything. They wear scrubs. Before I left Sequoia I was still wearing my cap and the uniform. I was in Peds though. In the nursery we put on scrubs but we did wear our caps. MF: So when did you retire from nursing? BF: I don't remember the exact date to tell you the truth. It was somewhere around 1976. I did private duty. I didn't want to work full time or nights anymore. I worked nights most of my life. I did private duty where I was just up the street from where I live now- a little negro boy that was handicapped and couldn't walk and was in there for twenty minutes. But it was November and it was freezing cold, but he made it. He has a speech impediment and he can't walk and he only has use of his right arm. But he's got a lot in that head. He's probably pushing forty now. I haven't been there for a long time. Anyhow, I worked there for ten years until it got too big for me to handle. That was it. My husband and I took up golf and we built and house and used to go up and play golf all the time. Anyhow, that was the end of the nursing. 17 MF: Well, that's good. We appreciate you sharing your story with us.

Hey, it's Friday and it's the first week of the season what better way to kick off the weekend against our hated rivals from St. Louis. Much is made about the Brewers/Cubs, but honestly I think a lot of that is Packer fans trying to recreate their animosity for the Bears. The Cubs, as a team, have never done anything bad enough for true hate. The Cardinals on the other hand have given us a really good reason to hate them, they beat us in our one and only World Series. Sure, I was like 10 months old at that time but still. Screw those guys.
I won't be going to any games this weekend so I won't get a chance to try and have sex in the bathroom. At least in Miller Park, that is. (Hey yoooo!) We're slowly but surely getting back into the swing of things here and next week should be bursting with more of the crude, semi-sexist, semi-Brewers related content that you've grown to love. Until then follow us on twitter and facebook. We'll see you Monday.

The preface to the ten commandments. (1,2) The commandments of the first table. (3-11) Of the second table. (12-17) The fear of the people. (18-21) Idolatry again forbidden. (22-26)
Verses 1-2 God speaks many ways to the children of men; by conscience, by providences, by his voice, to all which we ought carefully to attend; but he never spake at any time so as he spake the TEN COMMANDMENTS. This law God had given to man before; it was written in his heart; but sin so defaced it, that it was necessary to revive the knowledge of it. The law is spiritual, and takes knowledge of the secret thoughts, desires, and dispositions of the heart. Its grand demand is love, without which outward obedience is mere hypocrisy. It requires perfect, unfailing, constant obedience; no law in the world admits disobedience to itself. Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all, ( James 2:10 ) . Whether in the heart or the conduct, in thought, word, or deed, to omit or to vary any thing, is sin, and the wages of sin is death.
Verses 3-11 The first four of the ten commandments, commonly called the FIRST table, tell our duty to God. It was fit that those should be put first, because man had a Maker to love, before he had a neighbour to love. It cannot be expected that he should be true to his brother, who is false to his God. The first commandment concerns the object of worship, JEHOVAH, and him only. The worship of creatures is here forbidden. Whatever comes short of perfect love, gratitude, reverence, or worship, breaks this commandment. Whatsoever ye do, do all the glory of God. The second commandment refers to the worship we are to render to the Lord our God. It is forbidden to make any image or picture of the Deity, in any form, or for any purpose; or to worship any creature, image, or picture. But the spiritual import of this command extends much further. All kinds of superstition are here forbidden, and the using of mere human inventions in the worship of God. The third commandment concerns the manner of worship, that it be with all possible reverence and seriousness. All false oaths are forbidden. All light appealing to God, all profane cursing, is a horrid breach of this command. It matters not whether the word of God, or sacred things, all such-like things break this commandment, and there is no profit, honour, or pleasure in them. The Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. The form of the fourth commandment, "Remember," shows that it was not now first given, but was known by the people before. One day in seven is to be kept holy. Six days are allotted to worldly business, but not so as to neglect the service of God, and the care of our souls. On those days we must do all our work, and leave none to be done on the sabbath day. Christ allowed works of necessity, charity, and piety; for the sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath, Mr. 2:27 ; but all works of luxury, vanity, or self-indulgence in any form, are forbidden. Trading, paying wages, settling accounts, writing letters of business, worldly studies, trifling visits, journeys, or light conversation, are not keeping this day holy to the Lord. Sloth and indolence may be a carnal, but not a holy rest. The sabbath of the Lord should be a day of rest from worldly labour, and a rest in the service of God. The advantages from the due keeping of this holy day, were it only to the health and happiness of mankind, with the time it affords for taking care of the soul, show the excellency of this commandment. The day is blessed; men are blessed by it, and in it. The blessing and direction to keep holy are not limited to the seventh day, but are spoken of the sabbath day.
Verses 12-17 The laws of the SECOND table, that is, the last six of the ten commandments, state our duty to ourselves and to one another, and explain the great commandment, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ( Luke 10:27 ) . Godliness and honesty must go together. The fifth commandment concerns the duties we owe to our relations. Honour thy father and thy mother, includes esteem of them, shown in our conduct; obedience to their lawful commands; come when they call you, go where they send you, do what they bid you, refrain from what they forbid you; and this, as children, cheerfully, and from a principle of love. Also submission to their counsels and corrections. Endeavouring, in every thing, to comfort parents, and to make their old age easy; maintaining them if they need support, which our Saviour makes to be particularly intended in this commandment, ( Matthew 15:4-6 ) . Careful observers have noted a peculiar blessing in temporal things on obedient, and the reverse on disobedient children. The sixth commandment requires that we regard the life and the safety of others as we do our own. Magistrates and their officers, and witnesses testifying the truth, do not break this command. Self-defence is lawful; but much which is not deemed murder by the laws of man, is such before God. Furious passions, stirred up by anger or by drunkenness, are no excuse: more guilty is murder in duels, which is a horrible effect of a haughty, revengeful spirit. All fighting, whether for wages, for renown, or out of anger and malice, breaks this command, and the bloodshed therein is murder. To tempt men to vice and crimes which shorten life, may be included. Misconduct, such as may break the heart, or shorten the lives of parents, wives, or other relatives, is a breach of this command. This command forbids all envy, malice, hatred, or anger, all provoking or insulting language. The destruction of our own lives is here forbidden. This commandment requires a spirit of kindness, longsuffering, and forgiveness. The seventh commandment concerns chastity. We should be as much afraid of that which defiles the body, as of that which destroys it. Whatever tends to pollute the imagination, or to raise the passions, falls under this law, as impure pictures, books, conversation, or any other like matters. The eighth commandment is the law of love as it respects the property of others. The portion of worldly things allotted us, as far as it is obtained in an honest way, is the bread which God hath given us; for that we ought to be thankful, to be contented with it, and, in the use of lawful means, to trust Providence for the future. Imposing upon the ignorance, easiness, or necessity of others, and many other things, break God's law, though scarcely blamed in society. Plunderers of kingdoms though above human justice, will be included in this sentence. Defrauding the public, contracting debts without prospect of paying them, or evading payment of just debts, extravagance, all living upon charity when not needful, all squeezing the poor in their wages; these, and such things, break this command; which requires industry, frugality, and content, and to do to others, about worldly property, as we would they should do to us. The ninth commandment concerns our own and our neighbour's good name. This forbids speaking falsely on any matter, lying, equivocating, and any way devising or designing to deceive our neighbour. Speaking unjustly against our neighbour, to hurt his reputation. Bearing false witness against him, or in common conversation slandering, backbiting, and tale-bearing; making what is done amiss, worse than it is, and in any way endeavouring to raise our reputation upon the ruin of our neighbour's. How much this command is every day broken among persons of all ranks! The tenth commandment strikes at the root; Thou shalt not covet. The others forbid all desire of doing what will be an injury to our neighbour; this forbids all wrong desire of having what will gratify ourselves.
Verses 18-21 This law, which is so extensive that we cannot measure it, so spiritual that we cannot evade it, and so reasonable that we cannot find fault with it, will be the rule of the future judgment of God, as it is for the present conduct of man. If tried by this rule, we shall find our lives have been passed in transgressions. And with this holy law and an awful judgment before us, who can despise the gospel of Christ? And the knowledge of the law shows our need of repentance. In every believer's heart sin is dethroned and crucified, the law of God is written, and the image of God renewed. The Holy Spirit enables him to hate sin and flee from it, to love and keep this law in sincerity and truth; nor will he cease to repent.
Verses 22-26 Moses having entered into the thick darkness, God there spake in his hearing all that follows from hence to the end of chap. 23, which is mostly an exposition of the ten commandments. The laws in these verses relate to God's worship. The Israelites are assured of God's gracious acceptance of their devotions. Under the gospel, men are encouraged to pray every where, and wherever God's people meet in his name to worship him, he will be in the midst of them; there he will come unto them, and will bless them.
Exodus 20:1-26 . THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
1. And God spake all these words--The Divine Being Himself was the speaker ( Deuteronomy 5:12 Deuteronomy 5:32 Deuteronomy 5:33 ), in tones so loud as to be heard--so distinct as to be intelligible by the whole multitude standing in the valleys below, amid the most appalling phenomena of agitated nature. Had He been simply addressing rational and intelligent creatures, He would have spoken with the still small voice of persuasion and love. But He was speaking to those who were at the same time fallen and sinful creatures, and a corresponding change was required in the manner of God's procedure, in order to give a suitable impression of the character and sanctions of the law revealed from heaven ( Romans 11:5-9 ).
2. I am the Lord thy God--This is a preface to the ten commandments--the latter clause being specially applicable to the case of the Israelites, while the former brings it home to all mankind; showing that the reasonableness of the law is founded in their eternal relation as creatures to their Creator, and their mutual relations to each other.
3. Thou shalt have no other gods before me--in My presence, beside, or except Me.
4, 5. Thou shalt not make . . . any graven image . . . thou shalt not bow down thyself to them--that is, "make in order to bow." Under the auspices of Moses himself, figures of cherubim, brazen serpents, oxen, and many other things in the earth beneath, were made and never condemned. The mere making was no sin--it was the making with the intent to give idolatrous worship.
8. Remember the sabbath day--implying it was already known, and recognized as a season of sacred rest. The first four commandments [ Exodus 20:3-11 ] comprise our duties to God--the other six [ Exodus 20:12-17 ] our duties to our fellow men; and as interpreted by Christ, they reach to the government of the heart as well as the lip ( Matthew 5:17 ). "If a man do them he shall live in them" ( Leviticus 18:5 , Nehemiah 9:29 ). But, ah! what an if for frail and fallen man. Whoever rests his hope upon the law stands debtor to it all; and in this view every one would be without hope were not "the LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS" [ Jeremiah 23:6 , 33:16 ] ( John 1:17 ).
18-21. all the people saw the thunderings and the lightnings--They were eye and ear witnesses of the awful emblems of the Deity's descent. But they perceived not the Deity Himself.
19. let not God speak with us, lest we die, &c.--The phenomena of thunder and lightning had been one of the plagues so fatal to Egypt, and as they heard God speaking to them now, they were apprehensive of instant death also. Even Moses himself, the mediator of the old covenant, did "exceedingly quake and fear" ( Hebrews 12:21 ). But doubtless God spake what gave him relief--restored him to a frame of mind fit for the ministrations committed to him; and hence immediately after he was enabled to relieve and comfort them with the relief and comfort which he himself had received from God ( 2 Corinthians 1:4 ).
22, 23. the Lord said unto Moses--It appears from Deuteronomy 4:14-16 , that this injunction was a conclusion drawn from the scene on Sinai--that as no similitude of God was displayed then, they should not attempt to make any visible figure or form of Him.
24. An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me--a regulation applicable to special or temporary occasions.
25. thou shalt not build it of hewn stone, &c.--that is, carved with figures and ornaments that might lead to superstition.
26. by steps--a precaution taken for the sake of decency, in consequence of the loose, wide, flowing garments of the priests.

Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
mr rape dude has sorta got a 5pm deadline to withdraw btw.
SS is even doing the "political shift as you get older" the wrong way round!
No surprise:
This kind of thing is flawed though. I don't expect Romney nor Obama to hold to what they say, even if they were philosophically inclined to my values.
Interesting that you can get the same scores for those two guys, yet I'm pretty sure I had a big difference between Paul and Johnson with my score.
Haha that's about what I would have expected for you. The ridiculousness of Paul lies in the attitude towards his philosophy rather than his actual philosophy, and you don't disagree with me strongly enough on MSN to get lower than a 50% or so match for Paul on those grounds.
a hurricane might hit the republican convention
was i the only one who was lazy and didn't do any 'Choose another stance' in their first run
but we expect you to.
i'm pretty sure that was the only reason i got 58% with wacky ole paul first time 'round. i made sure to click 'Transform the system into a Canadian or European style single payer system that can negotiate pricing for medication and treatments' the 2nd time 'round. take that ron.

text: Ultimate Team hintsTo avoid the most common mistakes that pushes players away from this amazing mode, check out the following general hints: Plan your teamInstead of just buying and selling whoever you feel like, make wise decisions with your roster to build your team efficiently. Use quality resourcesThe internet holds plenty of great resources dedicated to giving you information you need to be an effective team-builder. Considering that your opponents are probably doing this, it is suggested you do so as well. Start offlineResist the urge to go online right away or else you'll find yourself matched up with players with great teams that can quickly turn you off of the mode. Start with the Starter Cup under Single Player Tournaments. This tournament is on Amateur and has no squad requirements, giving you an easy 2,000 coins on top of the 3,000 you are given at the start of the game. With 5,000 coins you'll have a great starting amount. ChemistryThe following color line indicated the corresponding chemistry: Red means the players have no connection, Yellow means the players have one connection (either from the same country, league, or team), and Green means the players have two or more of the aforementioned connections. Use the Transfer market wiselyInstead of just hopping in and buying whoever, check sites like FUThead.com to figure out affordable players that will best fit your squad. In FIFA 14 you can finally search by name, making things much easier. This takes practice but eventually you'll figure out how to detect good deals from bad ones. |

Lindsey Hansen as Poins
In April, I auditioned for Goodnight Desdemona, Good Morning Juliet at Aquinas College. We had a new director as well; Katherine Mayberry from GVSU. Having a guest director always gets people on their A-game and I'm no different. I prepared my monologue, performed it and hoped for a call. I was fortunate enough to get a callback (which was a great sign for me because I must have made an impression, whether bad or good). And, lucky me, I ended up getting cast!
About a week later, I received an e-mail from Katherine. She told me that Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company was doing an all female cast of Henry IV Part 1 and had an open spot that she told the director I would be really good for. Needless to say, I was ecstatic! I went out that day and bought Henry IV Part 1 and 2, did every Google search I could on the play, Shakespeare and Pigeon Creek. I went to my audition, shaking. I didn't want to mess up my monologue and definitely didn't want to make Katherine regret suggesting me to Scott Lange, the director. I made it through the audition in one piece and was offered a part. I kept my composure until I got to my car. I sat in my car for a good five minutes smiling and screaming and doing a little happy dance.
This whole experience has been incredible for me. This is the first time in about three years that I have done something other than an Aquinas show. It is the first time I've worked with a professional theatre group. It is the first time I have worked with Shakespeare outside of the classroom. It was my first time ever experiencing stage combat. It is the first time I have had to play my violin in a show. And I was also introduced to the wild and crazy world of Welsh.
I was the newbie in the group and also the youngest, which would intimidate most people. Now. I would love to sit here and say "but I'm not like most people." That would be a lie. I was terrified. Here I am with all of these incredibly experienced people, hoping and praying I don't mispronounce the word 'zounds' or 'capon.'
After a few weeks of rehearsal, I opened up a lot more. Not only to everyone around me, but also to my characters. Poins is (how should I put this) energetic. I like to think that Poins doesn't ever sleep. If he does, it is for about five minutes then he is out and about trolling the town and drinking lots and lots of Red Bull. He so badly wants to impress Hal and everyone around him. I can see how Falstaff might get annoyed with him and think that Poins made him drink medicines in order to love 'the rogues company.'
Now from Poins to Lady Mortimer; what a transformation. Lady Mortimer has been actually a lot of fun. Without fail, someone always comes up to me after a performance and asks if what I'm saying is actually Welsh or if I make up the song. Yes, the Welsh is real. No, I do not make up the song. When I first got the Welsh, I went into a mini panic. How was I going to memorize this in three weeks, let alone a song? Scott helped me so much and I definitely credit him when it comes to the Welsh. Claire Mahave has also been a great help. She has made me so comfortable and we have really developed a nice love for Lord and Lady Mortimer outside of the sexual love they share.
Of course we can't forget Vernon. It was fun to have three totally different characters to play around with. Vernon is still younger, like Poins, but he carries himself differently. He is learning all of these new things and tactics, yet still is a man. He has opinions and even though he is new to the rebel camp, he is still going to speak his mind. Even though he still believes in the rebel army, he can't help but be in awe over Prince Hal, which has definitely been fun to play around with, and also equally as difficult.
I don't think I can say thank you enough to the Pigeon Creek family. They really have welcomed me with open arms and totally accepted me. I am excited that this journey won't be over once we close the show next weekend because working with this fantastic group of women has been an incredible experience. I feel as if a whole new world has opened up to me and it is all because of the people I've worked with on this production.
And if I haven't said it enough…THANK YOU!

Meh, I`ll wait till the actual Goddess is released. Ordering 3 at a time gets expensive enough (1 loose, 1 MOC, and 1 for my son)

I'll be buying a couple of Teela's BUT I'll want a seperate Goddess figure too.
I'm hopeful that we'll have some official confirmation of some sorts as to whether or not there will be a Green Goddess by the time we can order Teela.
If we don't have any confirmation? I'll buy two.
Maybe we shouldn't be discussing this and giving Mattel ideas...
See, they'll hold off now on announcements for GG after Teela goes on sale! D'oh!!!

I think the Goddess sounds like a strong choice for an exclusive. I have a feeling we'll see her somehow, so I'm just gona get the one.

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
I often buy 2 of each female from my favourite lines, seeing as how facial paint work can vary soo much. And I will more than likely do so with MOTUC.
However I will wait till we receive an actual Green Goddess. It's too easy & funky a variant for Mattel to pass up.
I'd like to buy 2 . Depends how much money I earn around that time. One for Teela and one for The Goddess in case we dont get a Green Goddess. I had originally planned to Repaint one into Green Goddess, however price forbids me.
If we get a Green Goddess I'll be a happy collector. I really want her.
Teela the Warrior Goddess is my homegirl.
I will definately buy 2 Teela figures, but not for the Goddess. I just want one to keep in the package and one to open. I'm going to buy 2 figures of the really cool characters, and Teela fits that description.
Keep The "Classicized" 200x Heads in MOTUC!

More-than-likely we'll get a Green Goddess, but I'm still getting 10 of Teela to support the gals. Will do the same with POP and maybe NA.
"My favorite Harry Potter movie is Troll."
I really think we will see Teela and the Green Goddess follow each other quite quickly. If the Green Goddess is just gonna be a straight up Teela repaint then the basic figures for these two characters will more than likely be produced by Mattel at the same time. Mattel have already said they get charged by their venders to produce smaller runs, hence one of the reasions for the hight price points at conventions for exclusives. Therefore I think we will see Teela in or around a convention month as the regular figure, then the Green Goddess at SDCC.
Tally I will defo be doing the same thing For She-Ra / Adora & the POP gals. But I think the MOTU girls are gonna be very well supported in MOTUC, they always strike me as being very accepted by almost all fans! Lets face it you never see a post suggesting Mattel drop Teela, the Sorceress, Marlana or Evil-Lyn out of the brand. I am sure they will sell really well. From the MOTU gals I am most excited to get Evil-Lyn into my grubby little hands.

At 20 bux a pop, I'll be buying only one.
Always Expect the Unexpected!
Wait, did I miss the announcement of Teela for MOTUC? Or has there not been an official announcement yet?
I'll have a few Teela's...
Buying these sight unseen, I have to make sure I get one with a perfect paint app. (especially of my favorites)
I have done the same with the other MOTUC's so far & have been happy.

I'll just be getting one of Teela, I'm sure at some point Mattel will do a Green Goddess so I'll just buy that figure then.
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
Not me.
I might get a second one to do a Snake Teela from MYP, which I guess is close.
I really thought Green Godess was going to be the first female that we got, showing her at the 'Con and all...
The Green Goddess is gonna come out, she was shown at the con, so it's just a matter of time.
Imagine if Mattel suprised us and brought her out as an extra figure the same month as Teela?!
they only figures i plan on getting more then one of are he-man, skeletor and teela. i don't know if i will turn one into the goddess or not yet. it will depend on what mattel plans to do.
Where are all these Green Goddess comments coming from? I'm talking about the Caucasian Goddess from the Texiera mini-comics.

I'll bet even money that Teela will come with the snake armor and probably a switchable head. The Goddess doesn't exist in my canon and I much prefer to wait for them to get to the Sorceress.
We survived the long night.... MOTU Forever!
It's tempting. I don't know if I'll get a second one just to have as The Goddess, since I think getting a Green Goddess is all but a lock in this line, but I think I might get a second one just to have two.

that's the way i see it too. The goddess is nothing more than an early version of the Sorceress imo. I'd rather thave the Sorceress, than another character that looks identical to teela. to me that's dumb. but I'd take a green goddess if they made one, just to add another figure to the collection.
yeah, I bet Teela will have her snake armor, just like the vintage figure & just like the original cardapack picture. she'll probably come with the snake staff, shield & maybe a sword (that'd be cool).
hmmmm......will teela's description be ''heroic warrior goddess'', and Evil lynn be ''evil warrior goddess'' like the vintage figures were?

The reigns of Baasha and Elah in Israel. (1-14) Reigns of Zimri and Omri in Israel. (15-28) Ahab's wickedness, Hiel rebuilds Jericho. (29-34)
Verses 1-14 This chapter relates wholly to the kingdom of Israel, and the revolutions of that kingdom. God calls Israel his people still, though wretchedly corrupted. Jehu foretells the same destruction to come upon Baasha's family, which that king had been employed to bring upon the family of Jeroboam. Those who resemble others in their sins, may expect to resemble them in the plagues they suffer, especially those who seem zealous against such sins in others as they allow in themselves. Baasha himself dies in peace, and is buried with honour. Herein plainly appears that there are punishments after death, which are most to be dreaded. Let Elah be a warning to drunkards, who know not but death may surprise them. Death easily comes upon men when they are drunk. Besides the diseases which men bring themselves into by drinking, when in that state, men are easily overcome by an enemy, and liable to bad accidents. Death comes terribly upon men in such a state, finding them in the act of sin, and unfitted for any act of devotion; that day comes upon them unawares. The word of God was fulfilled, and the sins of Baasha and Elah were reckoned for, with which they provoked God. Their idols are called their vanities, for idols cannot profit nor help; miserable are those whose gods are vanities.
Verses 15-28 When men forsake God, they will be left to plague one another. Proud aspiring men ruin one another. Omri struggled with Tibni some years. Though we do not always understand the rules by which God governs nations and individuals in his providence, we may learn useful lessons from the history before us. When tyrants succeed each other, and massacres, conspiracies, and civil wars, we may be sure the Lord has a controversy with the people for their sins; they are loudly called to repent and reform. Omri made himself infamous by his wickedness. Many wicked men have been men of might and renown; have built cities, and their names are found in history; but they have no name in the book of life.
Verses 29-34 Ahab did evil above all that reigned before him, and did it with a particular enmity both against Jehovah and Israel. He was not satisfied with breaking the second commandment by image-worship, he broke the first by worshipping other gods: making light of lesser sins makes way for greater. Marriages with daring offenders also imbolden in wickedness, and hurry men on to the greatest excesses. One of Ahab's subjects, following the example of his presumption, ventured to build Jericho. Like Achan, he meddled with the accursed thing; turned that to his own use, which was devoted to God's honour: he began to build, in defiance of the curse well devoted to God's honour: he began to build, in defiance of the curse well known in Israel; but none ever hardened his heart against God, and prospered. Let the reading of this chapter cause us to mark the dreadful end of all the workers of iniquity. And what does the history of all ungodly men furnish, what ever rank or situation they move in, but sad examples of the same?
1 Kings 16:1-8 . JEHU'S PROPHECY AGAINST BAASHA.
1. Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu--This is the only incident recorded in the life of this prophet. His father was also a prophet ( 2 Chronicles 16:7 ).
2. Forasmuch as I exalted thee--The doom he pronounced on Baasha was exactly the same as denounced against Jeroboam and his posterity. Though he had waded through slaughter to his throne, he owed his elevation to the appointment or permission of Him "by whom kings reign."
over my people Israel--With all their errors and lapses into idolatry, they were not wholly abandoned by God. He still showed His interest in them by sending prophets and working miracles in their favor, and possessed a multitude of faithful worshippers in the kingdom of Israel.
7. also by the hand of the prophet Jehu--This is not another prophecy, but merely an addition by the sacred historian, explanatory of the death of Baasha and the extinction of his family. The doom pronounced against Jeroboam ( 1 Kings 14:9 ), did not entitle him to take the execution of the sentence into his own hands; but from his following the same calf-worship, he had evidently plotted the conspiracy and murder of that king in furtherance of his own ambitious designs; and hence, in his own assassination, he met the just reward of his deeds. The similitude to Jeroboam extends to their deaths as well as their lives--the reign of their sons, and the ruin of their families.
8. began Elah the son of Baasha to reign--(compare 1 Kings 15:33 ). From this it will appear that Baasha died in the twenty-third year of and Elah, who was a prince of dissolute habits, reigned not fully two years.
1 Kings 16:9-22 . ZIMRI'S CONSPIRACY.
9-12. Zimri . . . conspired against him--"Arza which was over his house." During a carousal in the house of his chamberlain, Zimri slew him, and having seized the sovereignty, endeavored to consolidate his throne by the massacre of all the royal race.
15-18. did Zimri reign seven days--The news of his conspiracy soon spread, and the army having proclaimed their general, Omri, king, that officer immediately raised the siege at Gibbethon and marched directly against the capital in which the usurper had established himself. Zimri soon saw that he was not in circumstances to hold out against all the forces of the kingdom; so, shutting himself up in the palace, he set it on fire, and, like Sardanapalus, chose to perish himself and reduce all to ruin, rather than that the palace and royal treasures should fall into the hands of his successful rival. The seven days' reign may refer either to the brief duration of his royal authority, or the period in which he enjoyed unmolested tranquillity in the palace.
19. For his sins which he sinned--This violent end was a just retribution for his crimes. "His walking in the ways of Jeroboam" might have been manifested either by the previous course of his life, or by his decrees published on his ascension, when he made a strong effort to gain popularity by announcing his continued support of the calf worship.
21, 22. Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts--The factions that ensued occasioned a four years' duration (compare 1 Kings 16:15 with 1 Kings 16:23 ), of anarchy or civil war. Whatever might be the public opinion of Omri's merits a large body of the people disapproved of the mode of his election, and declared for Tibni. The army, however, as usual in such circumstances (and they had the will of Providence favoring them), prevailed over all opposition, and Omri became undisputed possessor of the throne.
22. Tibni died--The Hebrew does not enable us to determine whether his death was violent or natural.
1 Kings 16:23-28 . OMRI BUILDS SAMARIA.
23. In the thirty and first year of Asa . . . began Omri to reign--The twelve years of his reign are computed from the beginning of his reign, which was in the twenty-seventh year of Asa's reign. He held a contested reign for four years with Tibni; and then, at the date stated in this verse, entered on a sole and peaceful reign of eight years.
24. he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer--The palace of Tirzah being in ruins, Omri, in selecting the site of his royal residence, was naturally influenced by considerations both of pleasure and advantage. In the center of a wide amphitheatre of mountains, about six miles from Shechem, rises an oblong hill with steep, yet accessible sides, and a long flat top extending east and west, and rising five hundred or six hundred feet above the valley. What Omri in all probability built as a mere palatial residence, became the capital of the kingdom instead of Shechem. It was as though Versailles had taken the place of Paris, or Windsor of London. The choice of Omri was admirable, in selecting a position which combined in a union not elsewhere found in Palestine: strength, beauty, and fertility [STANLEY].
two talents of silver--about $4,250. Shemer had probably made it a condition of the sale, that the name should be retained. But as city and palace were built there by Omri, it was in accordance with Eastern custom to call it after the founder. The Assyrians did so, and on a tablet dug out of the ruins of Nineveh, an inscription was found relating to Samaria, which is called Beth-khumri--the house of Omri [LAYARD]. (See 2 Kings 17:5 ).
25-27. But Omri wrought evil--The character of Omri's reign and his death are described in the stereotyped form used towards all the successors of Jeroboam in respect both to policy as well as time.
29-33. Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him--The worship of God by symbols had hitherto been the offensive form of apostasy in Israel, but now gross idolatry is openly patronized by the court. This was done through the influence of Jezebel, Ahab's queen. She was "the daughter of Eth-baal, king of the Zidonians." He was priest of Ashtaroth or Astarte, who, having murdered Philetes, king of Tyre, ascended the throne of that kingdom, being the eighth king since Hiram. Jezebel was the wicked daughter of this regicide and idol priest--and, on her marriage with Ahab, never rested till she had got all the forms of her native Tyrian worship introduced into her adopted country.
32. reared up an altar for Baal--that is, the sun, worshipped under various images. Ahab set up one ( 2 Kings 3:2 ), probably as the Tyrian Hercules, in the temple in Samaria. No human sacrifices were offered--the fire was kept constantly burning --the priests officiated barefoot. Dancing and kissing the image ( 1 Kings 19:18 ) were among the principal rites.
1 Kings 16:34 . JOSHUA'S CURSE FULFILLED UPON HIEL THE BUILDER OF JERICHO.
34. In his days did Hiel the Beth-elite build family of this reckless man but whether his oldest son died at the time of laying the foundation, and the youngest at the completion of the work, or whether he lost all his sons in rapid succession, till, at the end of the undertaking, he found himself childless, the poetical form of the ban does not enable us to determine. Some modern commentators think there is no reference either to the natural or violent deaths of Hiel's sons; but that he began in presence of his oldest son, but some unexpected difficulties, losses, or obstacles, delayed the completion till his old age, when the gates were set up in the presence of his youngest son. But the curse was fulfilled more than five hundred years after it was uttered; and from Jericho being inhabited after Joshua's time ( Judges 3:13 , 2 Samuel 10:5 ), it has been supposed that the act against which the curse was directed, was an attempt at the restoration of the walls--the very walls which had been miraculously cast down. It seems to have been within the territory of Israel; and the unresisted act of Hiel affords a painful evidence how far the people of Israel had lost all knowledge of, or respect for, the word of God.

As you probably know, Brian Sabean went on KNBR yesterday and made some scathing and unpleasant (understatement of the year? Perhaps) remarks about the whole Buster Posey/Scott Cousins situation. You can listen to the podcast here.
The two opinions seem to be a) it was a calculated move to rile his team and b) he was angry and just out of line. If it was A, fine. I don't think riling is the greatest course of action when the person in question has a whole security team due to death threats. But fine. And if it was B? He's been a General Manager for 14 long years. Surely he knows how to control his temper to the press.
Either way, his statements could have left us all thinking, he's angry and bold… and classy! Frankly, they left me thinking, that's totally classless. As I've said before, when you're employed by Major League Baseball you have a responsibility to speak to the media as a spokesperson for them at all times. If you want to rile your team, shut the door and pull down the curtains and speak your mind. When you're on the radio, a few clichés are just fine. I sure hope the rumors are right and the Dodgers manager (because he will always be that, in my mind) makes Sabes apologize.
I also, honestly, object to Brian calling the injury "horrific". The definition of that word is "grossly offensive to decency or morality; causing horror; "subjected to outrageous cruelty"; "a hideous pattern of injustice";". There are truly horrific injuries (keeping this within baseball…. Bryan Stow, anybody?) and Posey has a broken ankle. Believe me, I am a fan of this team and it breaks my heart. This is Posey's life and career and livelihood. This is beyond enormous and career defining to him and I understand that. I just think we should keep in perspective that he has a broken ankle and a world class medical staff tending to him. I just don't think it cuts it as "horrific".
Mostly, I'm sad that we have to debate this. Posey had a terrible injury and instead of the public's focus being on positive change (making a rule to prevent this from happening again) and trying to make the team succeed anyway, it's all on this PR nightmare.
So since I can't stand negative energy, I'm going to leave it at that and not blame the team for their management. The Rockies are in town, there was a win last night, the Giants are in first place, it's Orange Friday and there is much to be done. Hugs all around (that includes Cousins!), okay?

The hearing will take place in New Orleans in Fifth District Federal Court on March 11 and the board members will be in attendance.
Being advised by a federal court to come in compliance with desegregation laws, which the district contends that is, not a new issue.
In fact, this entire lawsuit began nearly 42 years ago. Before the Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, the public school district in Cleveland was segregated by law.
Black students were legally required to attend one of four black schools on the "east side" of Cleveland, located to the east of the Illinois Central railroad tracks that ran north and south through Cleveland. White students attended one of six white schools on the "west side" of Cleveland, to the west of the railroad tracks. Cleveland continued to operate its school system until 1969, when a federal court ordered the district to desegregate its schools.
The federal court ordered this after Diane Cowan and numerous co-plaintiffs filed a desegregation lawsuit against six school districts in Bolivar County including the Cleveland School District, then identified as Bolivar County District No. 4, back in July 24, 1965.
During that time, Bolivar County District No. 4 maintained six white schools: Cleveland High School; Margaret Green Junior High School; Pearman Elementary School; W.J. Parks Elementary School; Boyle Elementary School; and Merigold Elementary School.
Each of those schools was limited to attendance by white pupils only and was staffed by white teachers, white principals and other white professional personnel.
During that time, Bolivar County District No. 4 also maintained four black schools: East Side High School; Nailor Elementary School; B.L. Bell Elementary School; and Hayes Cooper Elementary School. Each of these schools was limited to attendance by black pupils.
They were staffed by black principals, black teachers and other black professional personnel.
The decision was that for the 1970-71 school year and thereafter the Cleveland School District was to submit to full faculty and staff desegregation to such an extent that the faculty at each school is not identifiable to the race of the majority of the students at any such school.
The order also required that consistent with the proper operation of the school system as a whole, will locate any new school and substantially expand any existing schools with the objective of eradicating the vestiges of the dual school system.
During that time, several schools were closed such as Hayes Cooper Elementary.
The U.S. Justice Department once again made a complaint in the early 1980s citing that the 1969 order did not impel Cleveland to desegregate its schools. In 1989, another complaint was filed against the Cleveland School District. Also in that year the district opted to re-open Hayes Cooper Elementary School as the Hayes Cooper Center.
As the district's enrollment data indicates, Hayes Cooper Center is a magnet school success.
The school annually attracts more applicants than available slots, and it has maintained a diverse student body in accordance with the requirements of the 1989 Consent Order. Another consent order in 1992 was filed. The concern was now that the U.S. Justice Department thought the district had been unable to replicate the success of the Hayes Cooper Center at any other school, and its magnet school initiatives had failed more often than they have succeeded. In 2004, D.M. Smith Middle School applied for and received funding from the U.S. Department of Education through the Magnet Schools Assistance Program.
They also applied and received money from 2007 to 2010 for the same purpose, however, no white students were not attracted to the school despite that effort. The same can be said of East Side High School and Nailor Elementary School. Both were tried as Magnet schools, but neither attracted many white students and remain majority black schools.
As part of the 2010-2011 school reorganization plan, the district closed Bell Elementary School and dispersed its students to three other elementary schools, and re-opened the school last fall as the Bell Magnet School for Math, Science, Health and Wellness.
Senior U.S. District Court Judge for the Northern District of Mississippi Glen H. Davidson gave his opinion on the case last year after visiting each of the schools.
Davidson, who visited the Cleveland School District before making his decision, did not order consolidation of the high schools and middle schools.
"The Court notes that the predominantly African-American junior and high schools —East Side High School and D.M. Smith Middle School — are actually housed in newer and probably superior facilities than their counterparts located on the west side of the former railroad tracks," wrote Davidson.
"The president of the School Board, who is a graduate of East Side High School, testified at the hearing that there exists a long prideful legacy among the alumni of this institution."
It was at this time Davidson ruled the high school and junior high school students should have a true freedom of choice to attend either high school and junior high school.
Students can now choose which school to attend during registration, however if a student switches schools they are required to sit out of after school activities for a year.
According to the Cleveland School District handbook, "Upon completion of grade eight, when a student has chosen a high school and attends that school for one or more days, the school of his/her choice shall become his/her home school. If the student wishes to change high schools, that student is ineligible for a period of one year in any extracurricular activities to include: sports, cheerleader, band, dance teams or any other activities governed by the Mississippi High School Activities Association."
The Bolivar Commercial will have more on the court case as the story develops.

Yes, we may have our freedom, but it wasn't free. A price had to be paid for our freedom, and that price was the lives of so many brave men and women. I am humbled as I think about it, and so grateful and feel in debt to those people. To all of you who have loved ones currently serving for our country, or if you have loved ones who have died serving our country, my heart goes out to you.
