It's hard to believe this weekend's Portland Fruit Beer Fest is only in its fifth iteration; this festival, billed as the "world's first dedicated fruit beer festival" has become both the signature event of Portland Beer Week and one of the absolute-must beer events in a city already overflowing with them. This year's event has added a third day (Friday evening) as well as "40% more" space by adding spillover space in the car lot … Continue reading →
This weekend is the second annual Portland Fruit Beer Festival taking place, of course, in Portland, this year rolled into the overall Portland Beer Week festivities (though still a killer standalone event). It's taking place this Saturday and Sunday, the 9th and 10th, outside of Burnside Brewing again though this year they've been able to close 7th Avenue to provide a larger venue. If the thought of "fruit beer" still brings up images of early … Continue reading →
With the summertime months here (even if the weather has yet to catch up), we're seeing an uptick in the number of beer events and festivals throughout Oregon—though most of what I've listed here are around Portland or Central Oregon so if you know more tell me about them. The Oregon Zoo Brew is this Friday, June 3rd, from 5 to 10pm, and it's the only festival I'm aware of that takes place in an … Continue reading →
The Portland Fruit Beer Festival has a beer lineup now (I posted the press release today), and it's looking impressive. The full official list is here; here's the short version: Alameda Brewing: Huckleberry Hound: Imperial IPA "dry-hopped" with huckleberries; ABV: 8.2% IBU's : 103 Beetje Brewing: Zure Krenten: Farmhouse blend with champagne currants; ABV: 6% Block 15 Brewing: Psidium: Rustic farmhouse ale matured with guava fruit; ABV 6% Breakside Brewing: Mango IPA; ABV: 6.8% IBU: … Continue reading →


text: 000 FXUS64 KBRO 290550 AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service BROWNSVILLE TX 1250 AM CDT SUN MAY 29 2016 .DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION...SCT TO BKN high clouds will move eastward across KBRO associated to debri clouds from earlier thunderstorms over Mexico. A light SE flow will prevail returning MVFR CIGS tonight near the morning hours. Conditions return to VFR early Sunday as the gradient strengthens increasing SE winds across the terminals. Influx of moisture with SE flow will aid for cu field to develop across the terminals. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 708 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2016/ DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. AVIATION...Other than the fly in the ointment of a thunderstorm cluster showing signs of edging close to or just across the Rio Grande near McAllen this evening, the forecast is fairly straightforward and a continuation of the previous forecast with only slight changes in the overnight period. The thunderstorm cluster moving into eastern Nuevo Leon at 7 pm may have enough oomph to reach McAllen (KMFE) with residual thunder/lightning and light stratiform rain as it will be in a race to sunset as well as increasingly capped atmosphere especially across the Lower Valley. For now, added anvil/cirrus shield at all terminals after 02/03Z but for KMFE put in a mid level deck and VCTS which could end up being light TSRA even with the precipitation being more "debris" than anything else. Did not add to KHRL or KBRO thinking that similar to Friday evening much of the activity will be gone by the time it reaches these terminals. Thereafter, expect the usual pre-dawn MVFR ceilings and local MVFR visibility with southeast winds lightening a bit even compared with this morning. Decided to be a little more pessimistic on ceilings through late morning before scattering things out to VFR, lower near the coast than inland, for the remainder of the afternoon. As for wind, a similar afternoon to today though perhaps a tad less gusty as gradient relaxes a bit. 52/bsg PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 327 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2016/ SHORT TERM (Tonight through Sunday Night): Upper-level ridging has begun nosing into Deep South TX today with 500-mb heights analyzed at 588 dam. This should keep a lid on precip chances through the short-term period. IR satellite showing only very sparse convective activity, even over the Sierra Madre, at this time. Even if anything does develop, steering flow is more toward the north, which would take the storms mainly west of the area. Weak disturbances in the mid-level flow could clip the far western/northern part of the CWA...though model guidance suggesting such disturbances would mainly be deflected north of the area by the ridge. At any rate, will leave in 20-25% PoP out there through midnight tonight with "silent 10`s" elsewhere. Heat indices have "behaved" better today with the added cloud cover slowing heating just a bit. Still seeing readings in the 105 range. At the surface...high pressure ridging across the central Gulf and surface thermal trough in the Mexican interior will continue to bring warm and moist air into the area on moderate SE winds. Not a great deal of change for Sunday. Upper ridge strengthens slightly overhead so temps will be a couple degrees hotter, with heat indices forecast to be in the 105-110 range across the area. Models hinting at a weak short-wave disturbance to perhaps clip the western counties again Sunday evening so will keep isolated showers and storms in for those areas again. At the beaches, high risk of rip currents is expected to continue through at least early Sunday, yielding hazardous conditions for poor swimmers who enter the water and swim offshore into the surf. Will let oncoming shift re-evaluate this for possible extension through the remainder of Sunday. Longer-period swell which has been driving the risk has been more difficult to find in the wave data from Buoy 020 of late. LONG TERM (Monday through Saturday): Two 500 mb closed lows will be positioned over the northern and southern Rockies on Monday. As the northern closed low moves east into the upper Midwest on Wednesday the southern closed low will open up and will push into the south central Plains states around midweek with this trough eventually pushing over the lower Miss River Valley late Fri. In the wake of this trough passage a fairly high amplitude 500 mb ridge axis will start building back in place for Sat and Sun maintaining a drier and more stable atms over the RGV. At the surface the passage of this 500 mb trough will push a pretty decent cold front into south TX which could meander south of the RGV pm Fri and will likely stay near or just south of the RGV into the weekend. The best moisture advection ahead of this 500 mb trough and associated cold front sets up for the period from Wed through Fri of next week. So expect the best pops during the latter half of this upcoming work week as the UVV increase ahead of the trough axis and interacts with the better moisture values setting up. The GFS and ECMWF models are in pretty good agreement in the timing and the magnitude of the 500 mb trough axis that approaches and moves through the area next week. Both models are in decent agreement on the expected temps throughout the longer range period. However bigger disagreements show up in the pops with the ECMWF being much more bullish on pops bringing in chc/likely pops on Tues which is much faster than the GFS which holds off on bringing in the better pops until Thurs. A closer look at the ECMWF shows that the reason for the much higher pops on Tues is that this model wants to move a pretty strong 500 mb short wave over south TX which fires off a conv complex that moves down across the RGV. The GFS does moves some stronger 500 mb PVA over the region on Tues but does not appear to reflect the stronger moisture advection indicated by the ECMWF. Will go a little closer to the drier GFS early next week and will then go closer to the wetter ECMWF later next week. Temps will be a roughly 50/50 blend of the GFS and ECMWF numbers. Overall confidence in the longer range wording is above average for the temps and only average for the pops due to the timing differences shown by the ECMWF and GFS. MARINE: /Tonight through Sunday night/...Winds and seas over the marine areas have been slower to subside than expected today. Wave models did not handle the near-term seas especially well, so issued SCA for winds on the Laguna and winds/seas for the Gulf waters through 7PM tonight. Hand-edited wave grids for consistency. Winds currently on a subsiding trend over the Gulf waters may briefly bump back up to near 20 knots between about 03-09Z tonight, but confidence in this not especially high so will not extend SCA at this time. SCEC conditions will prevail overnight at a minimum, though, and likely persist through much of Sunday as moderate to occasionally strong SE flow prevails. Memorial Day through Thursday night...The PGF will be fairly strong during the first half of next week as the 500 mb troughs move across the central plains states increasing the surface troffing over the Midwest. This may push marine conditions along the lower TX coastline in SCEC criteria through Wed. The PGF then weakens some after Wed as the cold front pushes southwards into TX allowing the seas to slacken some. && .BRO Watches/Warnings/Advisories... TX...High Rip Current Risk until 7 AM CDT this morning for TXZ251-256- 257. GM...Small Craft Advisory until 7 AM CDT this morning for GMZ150-155- 170-175. && $$ This product is also available on the web at: HTTP://WEATHER.GOV/RGV 67/61

Keb' Mo'
Greatly influenced by the likes of the legendary Robert Johnson (so much so that he accurately portrayed the bluesman in the 1998 documentary Can't You Hear the Wind Howl?), Keb' Mo' has taken the essence of the Delta blues and created his own sound, branching it with elements of everything from pop to African traditionals. Despite his three Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Blues Album, Keb' Mo' isn't so much a modern-day blues musician as a bridge between yesterday and today. That might be why Martin Scorsese tapped the singer and guitarist to work with him on his seven-part miniseries simply titled The Blues. The series predominately features Keb' Mo's bottleneck-happy "Am I Wrong," in which the singer attempts to reason with his love, explaining he'll treat her better than anyone else out there. Whether Keb' Mo' ever convinced that woman, or whether she ever existed, it's a story for the ages and one that wholly exemplifies his place as a link between the old and the new. This will be Keb' Mo's fifth appearance at the Minnesota Zoo.

This is a nice park with wide sites, typical of KOA's it is all gravel with a little bit of grass. The owners where always working with the bathrooms very clean. The wifi barely worked, the only time we could connect was at 6 AM. This is a beautiful area, but it is a drive to Jasper. Next time we would stay closer to Jasper, but this is a nice park. - sjones

Very Nice KOA. Price is for 50 amp pull thru. There are level F/H/U and some water/electric only back ins. Grass and table/fire pits between very close sites. It is 25 miles to the entrance of Jasper N.P. People were really friendly and tried hard to make sure you enjoyed yourself while in camp. Dog walks and pet areas. Cable and wifi good. This is a very busy campground. Try to reserve early. - teepee51

We stopped here after spending a week at Whistlers in Jasper National Park. Needed 50 amps and Wi-Fi. The 50 amps were great but Wi-Fi iffy. We did go into town to the visitors center and found the internet there wonderful. We stay at KOAs often and found this one to be very nice. The staff were friendly and courteous. Our site had the typical KOA grass which our dogs love. - PRG

A very beautiful campground nestled in the trees and only 17 km from the nearest town of Hinton. Sites are long and can accommodate 40 ft plus RV's with trailers. However, not all sites are level. We had to use our blocks, and we still had a noticeable slant inside. The branches over our site caused us to have to back out of our pull through. There is a building for campers called the Bear Den where you can have a fire going. It has couches, tables and chairs, and a treadmill and a bike for exercising. This is included in your camp fee and open 24 hours. Internet connectivity we were told is very good in that building. They have lots of cabin rentals. I looked in the window of a few and they were really nice. Separate bathroom with showers, small kitchen, tables and chairs, king sized beds, and some had couches. There were places for kids to play, and a field for a family football, soccer, or softball game. Restrooms, showers, and laundry are available, but we didn't use them. The camp store is clean and spacious and sells a few basic camping supplies, offers DVD rentals, and has a warm fire and coffee to greet you. Camp staff is very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. - Susan r

A lot of nice big sites, well treed and very spacious in between sites. Very secluded area (closest store or anything is an hour away) with an absolutely beautiful lake and river. Did not swim in lake but it looked very inviting! No showers or running water but the pit toilets are some of the cleanest we have seen. The only downside in my opinion is that it is about 37km off the highway on a dusty dirt road. Everything was coated with a thick layer of dust. Other than that, we really liked the place and would probably go back. - trump5

Great dry camping spot. We had a site overlooking the lake and near the playground. Our 29' trailer fit well into the site (especially when we corrected the concrete barrier). Free firewood. Self registration. Only outhouses available. Small beach access. Beautiful country to visit. 20 minutes from Hinton. Other campgrounds available in park but reserved at this one and was pleasantly surprised. - Strybos

Cowboys Charge to a Sixth-Place Finish at MW Championship
McCullough, Allen post red final-round numbers
UW Tied for Seventh after Two Rounds of MW Championship
McCullough, Wallen tied for 13th
McCullough in Third after First Day of MW Championship
UW sits in eighth after round one
Cowboy Golf Set for 2016 Mountain West Championship
Tournament to begin on Friday in Tucson
Pokes Finish Second at PING Cougar Classic
McCullough Ties for fifth
2013-14 (Sophomore): Allen was one of the top golfers for the Cowboys throughout the year. He played in every event and led the Pokes three times in his second season. Allen recorded four sub-par rounds with his career-best at the Battle in the Tetons when he fired a 66 (-6). He also recorded his first collegiate victory at the Battle in the Tetons after carding a 210 (-6). Allen saved his best round of the spring for the Mountain West Championship. During the opening round in Tucson, Allen fired a 69 (-2). He finished the tournament tied for 22nd. Allen ended the year with the second best stroke average for the Cowboys with 74.3, playing in 30 total rounds.
2012-13 (Freshman): In his first season as a Cowboy, Allen proved himself as one of the team leaders tying for the team high with four top-25 finishes and carrying the third-best stroke average. He recorded his four top-25 finishes during the fall season before a hand injury slowed him during the spring season. During the fall season he had a near-par stroke average averaging 72.6 strokes per round which was No. 16 in the Mountain West. The injury in the spring raised his scoring average to 75.20 for the season which was still good enough for third best on the team. During the fall, he recorded two top-10 finishes and two other top-25 finishes. He finished tied for third with teammate Eric Parish with a 214 (-2). During that event he fired his first two under-par rounds of his career, including a two-under 70 in his first collegiate round. At the Battle in the Tetons, Allen helped the Cowboys to their first team tournament title since 2000 winning in dominating fashion by 36 strokes. Their team score of 847 (-17) was the best team tournament score in school history. Allen's next top-25 finish came at the Ram Masters Invitational when he tied for 24th place with a three-round score of 220 (+10). At the Mark Simpson-Colorado Invitational, Allen continued his hot play recording his third top-25 finish of the fall. He began play at that tournament with a six-over 78, but followed that with two rounds under par firing a 69 (-3) and 67 (-5) in the second and third rounds, respectively. He finished the tournament tied for 20th place with a final tally of 214 (-2). In the final tournament of the fall, the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate in Albuquerque, Allen recorded his second top-10 finish tying for 10th of the 84-man field. At that event, he fired rounds of 76 (+4), 71 (-1) and 72 (E) to finish with a final score of 219 (+3). Allen struggled during the spring season due to a hand injury playing in five of six tournaments but never reaching the level he did during the fall season. On the season he shot five rounds under par, including one other round of par giving him a total of six of par or better on the season.
High School: Allen joined the Cowboy golf program as one of the most decorated players in Wyoming high school golf history. He was a two-time individual Wyoming State Champion in 2010-11. At the 2011 state championship he shot the lowest combined score (-10) in Wyoming State Championship history. For his championship performances he earned first-team all-state honors. He was a two-time Wyoming junior champion. He has also earned Wyoming Junior Player of the Year honors three times. Allen was a three-time member of the Wyoming Boys Junior America's Cup team and competed at the US Junior Boys Amateur National Championship. He also earned a spot in the US Amateur Public Links Championship. During the summer of 2012 Allen won the Wyoming State Match Play event with four-consecutive victories.
Personal: Allen was born May, 29, 1994, in Sheridan, Wyo. He is the son of Bob and Kelley and has a younger sister, Kayla. Allen plans to major in business administration at UW.

Wasn't really a waffle as much as it was a chainsaw. Well, I didn't do it yet...
Remember, the government is always watching... In fact, they're probably right behind us right now. Darn ninja techniques.
Ah geez, that creepy government. Even when it's "shut down," it'll still try to watch us. I'm not sure if it still is or not at the moment, but it's pretty creepy...

There's really not a better way to do that. (Do you really want to step through that much code manually?)
btw you should pm someone experienced (like JPAN) for stuff like this
My goal at this point is to compare the hack's code with a clean ROM's code. I don't necessarily need to see the code itself (though that would be nice), but I just need to know where the code is so I can compare.
I think I will PM JPAN. Everyone loves a challenge, right?

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Help with simple cube models... http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=62797&th=13025#msg_62797 <![CDATA[Hello,

 I was wondering if someone could help me with this since I have no experience making 3D models. I'm assuming it would be very simple for someone who knows what they are doing. Each one would be a 1 MM thick hollow cube with one side open so that all four of them stack together. Here are the measurements I'm looking at for each side length:

 #1- 22-23 MM
 #2- 18-19 MM
 #3 14-15 MM
 #4 10-11 MM

 Please let me know if this is something you could do. I would need all four of them as separate files. Unfortunately I don't have the funds to pay someone to do this so I was hoping to find someone who would be willing to do it for free.

Liverpool Message Board
Happy Holidays to ALL !
It's been a long while since I've been here to post, gosh maybe over a month unfortunately, but I see that all the regulars are still here and some new additions which is good to see. I hope to be among the banter again routinely very soon..
In having said that, looking at what's happening with the drama around our club, the league and the sport in general it's a real shame in general, especially this time of year a topic like this is overshadowing so many good things and popping it's ugly head into daily discussion .. I hate it.
Moving on, I'm looking for a big, BIG victory for the Red Men vs Rovers this weekend, and by big, I mean 1.5 - 0 (every post is .25)! And in that, I would like to wish all my friends, fellow Red supporters, rivals, and even the ones who need a bar of soap to wash their mouth's with, a very Happy Holiday Season with family and friends, regardless of what you celebrate and an even better New Year! Hope to get involved in all the banter again shortly..

Happy holidays to you too Jason and to everyone else out there. It has been a long time since we have seen you on the board, welcome back.
I am with you with regards to what is happening especially off the field for Liverpool, I wish we cold just concentrate on the football and leave the off field dramas to less classy teams.
Hope we thrash Blackburn too, would love a 4-0 scoreline myself.

Hi Mel,
Thanks for the well wishes, all the best to you and yours. Glad to participate again. Had a little emergency with hospital/surgery and that nonsense, so I had to get myself sorted for a while.
To be honest, I did peek in time to time, but I am just so exhausted of all of this, even with other players/clubs in the prem and while I have my thoughts, just really don't want to speak on it anymore.
Anyhow, yes, though I've thought so quite a few times over the last handful of fixtures, like Johnson said, we'd put a hurting on someone goals wise and Villa looked a good start to that, no disrespect to Wigan, but I thought it would carry over and certainly didn't. So, knock on wood, (or hit woodwork) I truly expect Rovers and poor Keane to get it... I hope!!

Rick Ross' super collaboration with Dr. Dre and Jay Z on "3 Kings" hasn't even been out for 24 hours but it has the hip hop community in a frenzy and rightfully so. It's not everyday that you get three of the biggest acts of all time to come together on one track, especially in hip hop, an industry that can be very self orientated. However, the three emcees share the spotlight on the Jake One production, delivering high quality verses, resulting in a solid collaboration. With no chorus or hook, "3 Kings" is 4 minutes and 30 seconds of straight bars by a trio that will go down as hip hop royalty. Take a look at five memorable lines from the legendary collaboration.
Five Memorable Lines: Rick Ross F/ Dr. Dre & Jay Z – "3 Kings" (Prod. Jake One)
- "You should listen to this beat through my headphones, Money long, number one twenty years strong" – Dr. Dre
- " 80 pair of sneakers came from the D game, Cousin was a Crip, said it was a C thing" – Rick Ross
- "The homie whippin' chickens in his momma kitchen, On the mission, said he get it for his sons tuition" – Rick Ross
- "Taken to places that you can't go with your per diem, Screamin' carpe diem until I'm a dead poet" – Jay Z
- "I ran through that buck fifty Live Nation fronted me, They workin' on another deal, they talkin' two hundred fifty, I'm holdin' out for three, Two seventy-five and I just might agree" – Jay Z

REDLANDS: Yorkie dies after confrontation with meter reader
Bean Bean the Yorkshire terrier has been killed, and Humane Society officers are investigating whether a meter reader over-reacted when the little dog and two other 6-pound Yorkies confronted him in Redlands.
"It appears it was blunt force trauma to the side of the head," Humane Officer Frank Padilla said of Bean Bean's apparent cause of death. "What I know is: a meter reader for the (Southern California) Gas Company was involved."
Padilla is scheduled to meet with the meter reader and a Gas Company supervisor Friday, April 25, to determine the circumstances of the 1:50 p.m. incident Thursday at a house along the 1400 block of Washington Street.
In the meantime, Cathy Rodriguez is mourning the death of her tiny 5-year-old pet.
"She didn't have a mean bone in her body," Rodriguez said hours after the incident. "That's why it's so heartbreaking."
As she tells it, the meter reader failed to heed her instructions to wait outside the front gate until she put Bean Bean, Ziggy and Daisy in the house.
"They're not vicious. But Ziggy … might have nipped him on the pants," she said. "I was calling (the dogs) into the house, and I turn around and he's in my yard with the fence shut. He couldn't wait."
And just that quick, Rodriguez said, all three dogs were behind the meter reader and barking at him.
Like many meter readers, the man reportedly was carrying a rubber stick that can be used to shoo away troublesome critters.
"He didn't use it like that at all," Rodriguez insists. "He took a swing and knocked her … out. She was convulsing and bleeding right in front of me.
"I asked him, 'What did you do? What did you do?' He said, 'I've been bitten three times today. It's not my problem.' "
Rodriguez said her 24-year-old son ordered the man out of the yard.
Then she and her sons drove Bean Bean to an animal hospital, where the dog died.
Later, Rodriguez spoke with a gas company supervisor.
The supervisor was apologetic and promised to investigate the matter, she said.
"But it doesn't bring my dog back," she said, trying to hold back tears.
The investigations continue.

I'm an older rider , not whippet thin, 55, who has been biking since I was a kid (Schwinn), then brought my transportation (Motobecane) to Oregon for college from the east coast. After a sojourn of 25 years on motorcycles, I came back to bikes again (LeMond). I ride 3-5 days a week, and I'll never stop. Bikes like skis, allow me two be two things I wouldn't normally be-fast and graceful, and I absolutely love their efficiency. On a ride this summer, I went into tachycardia, though I didn't know that at the time (I thought I was just bonking.) I rode home about 5 miles and went to the hospital when I realized something was wrong. Short version? I went into v-fib and was paddled twice back to life. I was told I had a genetic condition affecting part of my heart. The docs were amazed I rode 5 miles while this was going on, since apparently, after 5 minutes or so, most folks just collapse and die if not immediately attended to. The doc said if not for my condition from biking and hiking (mostly uphill) on a regular basis, I wouldn't be here now typing this. Talk about motivation! Anyway, I guess I'm a two wheel guy for life-literally. I'm a road guy and I love to watch racing on the tube. I'm a professional cook with a need to feed, now looking for the next opportunity.

Part of my background is in the design of commercial grade surveillance DVRs. None have used a file system that you see on a PC. You can get an idea of what you are into by reading old web pages about upgrading Tivo hard drives.
So no. And no I don't know which system they used on this model as I was not on that team.
It has come time to replace the hard-drive in my Polaroid DRM 2001G(which is a DVR with an 80 gig IDE hard drive).
I have an IDE Western Digital 320gig hard-drive from my last computer(HP Pavillion, XP), that is in pretty good shape, the same brand of drive, and fits into the DVR. My understanding from forums, is that it should work.
I don't know much about formating hard drives. I tried just pulling the old DVR drive out of the DVR, and putting the replacement computer hard-drive into the DVR(with all the old files and operating system in tact from the computer)....hoping to get the menu on the DVR....and be able to use the DVR to format the drive. I am pretty sure the DVR has a format option. No such luck! Kinda figured. All I get is the DVR logo, but no menu access.
Then I thought maybe I could put the drive back into the old computer(from where it came) and format it, and hope I get the right format. Thinking maybe all the old software is causing conflicts with the DVR Firmware and software. What is my next step? I am not exactly sure what the foramt for the DVR is, but most likly NTFS, like the computer drive. I have no idea how to format the drive, I am running the system with, on the old PC. I try the format option, by right clicking the drive letter; and it says, it can't format the drive I am using. Old days I think it was C:format; but that was a long time ago. Please help!

Posted on 02/06/2006 10:11:00 AM PST by AnalogReigns
Papal Supremacy Is Against Tradition
Cyprian (200-258 A.D.)
"For neither does any of us set himself up as a bishop of bishops, nor by tyrannical terror does any compel his colleague to the necessity of obedience; since every bishop, according to the allowance of his liberty and power, has his own proper right of judgment, and can no more be judged by another than he himself can judge another" [Ante-Nicene Fathers, 5:565, "The Seventh Council of Carthage Under Cyprian"]. As James White points out, the clergy in Rome were addressing letters to Cyprian, "Pope Cyprian." It simply meant "father."
The Council of Nicea (325 A.D.)
In Canon 6, this council declared that each center was to be ruled by its own bishop and not by one head over all bishops. [Ante Nicene Father, 7:502, "Constitutions of the Holy Apostles"] The Council of Chalcedon, in Canon 28, declares that Rome's rank was based on its political significance rather than any spiritual superiority.
St. Jerome (342-420 A.D.)
"Wherever a bishop may be whether at Rome or at Eugubium, at Constantinople or at Rhegium, at Alexandria or at Thanis, he is of the same worth...for all of them are the successors of the apostles."
Gregory I (540-604)
"Now I confidently say that whosoever calls himself or desires to be called Universal Priest, is in his elation the precursor of Antichrist, because he proudly puts himself above all others" and compares the man who chooses the title "universal bishop" to Satan. [Gregory I of Rome, Book V, Epistle 18, Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series II, 12:166]
The Roman Catholic Council of Trent
As the gavel came down to close the final session of the Council of Trent in 1563, Rome had officially and, according to her own commitment down to the present moment, irreversably, declared the preaching of the Gospel in the Reformation "anathema." The most relevant Canons are the following:
Canon 9. If anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone...let him be anathema.
Canon 11. If anyone says that men are justified either by the sole imputation of the justice of Christ or by the sole remission of sins...or also that the grace by which we are justified is only the good will of God, let him be anathema.
Canon 12. If anyone says that justifying faith is nothing else than confidence in divine mercy (supra, chapter 9), which remits sins for Christ's sake...let him be anathema.
Canon 24. If anyone says that the justice received is not preserved and also not increased before God through good works, but that those works are merely the fruits and signs of justification obtained, but not the cause of the increase, let him be anathema.
Canon 30. If anyone says that after the reception of the grace of justification the guilt is so remitted and the debt of eternal punishment so blotted out to every repentant sinner, that no debt of temporal punishment remains to be discharged either in this world or in purgatory before the gates of heaven can be opened, let him be anathema.
Canon 32. If anyone says that the good works of the one justified are in such manner the gifts of God that they are not also the good merits of him justified; or that the one justified by the good works that he performs by the grace of God and the merit of Jesus Christ, whose living member he is, does not truly merit an increase of grace, and eternal life...let him be anathema.
. . .
Where Do We Stand Today?
There was a popular slogan in the middle ages, "God will not deny his grace to those who do what lies within their power." A modern equivalent might be, "God helps those who help themselves." According to recent surveys, 87% of today's evangelical Protestants affirm this view of salvation, with 77% agreeing with the statement that "man is basically good by nature." Not even at the Council of Trent did Rome tolerate this essentially Pelagian concept, and yet it is affirmed by the clear majority of the supposed heirs of the Reformation.
Therefore, this is not an exercise in bigotry, nor an attempt to renew ancient hostilities; it is a battle for the Gospel in the face of any--whether pope or evangelist, who would allow this doctrine to be hidden from those who even today will be passing from this world to face the judgment of our God and of his Christ.
Bearing the nihil obstat and Imprimatur of the Roman Church, Sacramentum Mundi is a modern encyclopedia of Roman doctrine. In its article on Justification we read that justification "implies a relation with a judgment rather than a mode of being." The term for Paul "always has a certain forensic flavour which prevents its becoming a mere synonym of regeneration or re-creation. In later theology, however, this sense is often lost, and justification comes to mean nothing more than the infusion of grace (D 799). Now when St. Paul applies the juridical terminology to the new Christian reality, it acquires an entirely new meaning. It refers now not to the future but to the past (Rom.5:9), not to the just man but the sinner (Rom.4:5). And so the basis of justification must also be different. It can no longer be observance of the law. It must be Christ, whom God has made our righteousness and sanctification and redemption (1 Cor.1:30), which is the same thing as saying that we are justified by faith in Christ (Rom.3:28)." [ by Ricardo Franco, pp. 239-240]
Furthermore, arguably the two most widely respected Roman Catholic biblical scholars, J. A. Fitzmyer and Raymond Brown, have recognized that justification is understood in the biblical text to mean legal acquittal and not a process of growth in inherent righteousness. "Justification in the Old Testament," writes Fitzmyer, "denotes one who stood acquitted or vindicated before a judge's tribunal...This uprightness (righteousness) does not belong to human beings (Rom. 10:3), and is not something that they produced or merited; it is an alien uprightness, one belonging to another (Christ) and attributed to them because of what that other had done for them...This justification comes about by grace and through faith" (Romans, AB 33, pp.116-19).
And yet, Roman Catholic theologian Johann Baptist Metz calls for a second Reformation precisely because he sees the immediate relevance: "The question is said to belong to another, noncontemporary world," he writes. "I do not share this position at all. The heart of the Reformation's question--How can we attain to grace? --is absolutely central to our most pressing concerns. Just look for a moment at the human person of today: a part of this late bourgeois world of ours, stretched between doubt and commitment, between apathy and a meager kind of love, between ruthless self-assertion and a weak form of solidarity, confused and more uncertain of himself than he was even a few generations ago...And we are asked to believe that this person cannot understand the cry for grace, the pressing question as to whether and how grace can come to us? I do not accept that for a moment. This second Reformation concerns all Christians, is coming upon all of us, upon the two great churches of our Christianity."
Please, let everyone be charitable...NO NAME CALLING!!!
"There'll be a hot time in the old town Tonight..."
"Define "Good"."
Define "Define".
Define "Clinton".
Actually that's a good question...and probably one reason for the survey results.
Since every person is made in God's image we all have some "good" in us. However, since every person (past, present, & future) except Jesus Christ, is poluted by an inborn fallen sin-nature....being descendent of Adam, no one is purely good, which, by older definitions is the only kind of moral good...totally pure. Evil is the pollution of good...hence by that definition anything evil is partly (or even basically) good...however also BASICALLY polluted (and therefore evil) in every capacity...even in the ability to reason, desire and choose.
I think a lot of Christians if they understood that, would agree that everyone is basically a sinner....still with some "good" in us, but only in a relative sense. No one, save Christ, is purely and basically Good, in that sense.
This is a basic Augustinian understanding of the nature of good and evil.
It's threads like this one that remind me how much fun we used to have before biblewonk was banned.
Anybody else miss ol' biblewonk?

I must have, too - and yes, Biblewonk is missed!
I'm curious as to Eastern Orthodox opinions of the Western Church's Reformers. I realize y'all are NOT fans of St. Augustine....on which much of the original Protestant theology was built on. (not even regarded with the title "Saint" is he? Can't say I've ever understood that attitude toward St. Augustine of the EO theologians.)
"I'm curious as to Eastern Orthodox opinions of the Western Church's Reformers. I realize y'all are NOT fans of St. Augustine...."
Please read "The River of Fire" by Alexandre Kalomiros for a great introduction to your question. It's short, 20 pages, and available on line at http://www.orthodoxpress.org/parish/river_of_fire.htm .
The first 5 pages will pretty much cover the significant problems we have with St Augustine writings and the long term effect they've had to western theology, the eventual creation of the great schism, the Protestant fragmentation which was destined to follow, and ultimately the agressive Atheism we see in the world.
Another instance of development of doctrine, and essential to the understanding of this paper, is that of Papal supremacy. Newman tells us that the early Christians knew that they must live in unity, and recognized that they were so living. It was a sacramentum unitatis. The determination of its essence and means of securing this unity was to be supplied as necessity grew. While Christians were of one heart and one soul, it would be suspended; when unity was threatened, it was invoked. Newman says:
When the Church was thrown upon her own resources, first local disturbances gave exercise to bishops, and next ecumenical disturbances gave exercise to Popes; and whether communion with the Pope was necessary for Catholicity would not and could not be debated till a suspension of that communion had actually occurred.
With marked clarity Newman reasoned that, "if the whole of Christendom is to form one Kingdom, one head is essential; at least this is the experience of eighteen hundred years." And so:
As the Church grew into form, so did the power of the Pope develop; and wherever the Pope has been renounced, decay and division have been the consequence. We know of no other way of preserving the Sacramentum Unitatis but a centre of unity.
It was quite obvious to Newman that, even though the full deposit of faith had been given to the Apostles by Christ, and transmitted by them to the Church, there was a need of correctly understanding this deposit as conflicting opinions arose among the members of the one Church. To this end, a supreme authority was needed; otherwise, the body of Revelation would be open to endless confusion; and decay, not unity, would be the mark of the Church. This could not be since Christ had not only commanded his disciples to teach "all things that He had commanded," but also had assured them that he would be with them until the end of time (Matt. 28:18).
Newman saw that the Divine Author had intended Christianity to have "a wide expansion of the ideas proper to it"; but realized that this great benefit could be hindered by "the evil birth of cognate errors which acted as its counterfeit." He, therefore, assigned certain characteristics of faithful developments, which would discriminate them from corruptions. He defined corruption as "an incipient disorganization." It is characteristic of modern sects and of dissident theologians within the Church that they give evidence of corruption through the excesses in their conduct and the errors in their doctrine. The Church has been harassed by their innovations, but has ever revived from the force of their attacks. She is ever herself; "doctrine is where it was, and usage, and precedence, and principle, and policy." In a word, she is "incorrigible," cannot change the deposit of faith that has been given her by our Divine Savior.
As we have seen, Newman came to the overwhelming realization that the Catholic faith was logically, as well as historically, the representative of the ancient faith. As a result of his studies, he assigned certain characteristics of faithful development, as distinct from corruptions. He set down seven Notes to discriminate healthy developments of an idea from its decay: (1) a one and same type of life, that is, a religion which, while developing, remains identically what it was; (2) continuity of principles, the "special laws" of a development; (3) a power of assimilation, achieving a "unitive" incorporation into the life of the faith; (4) a logical sequence, that is, a teaching that issues from its original teaching; (5) an early anticipation of future development; (6) a conserving of the course of antecedent developments, an addition which illustrates and corroborates the thought which precedes; and (7) a chronic vigor, marked by duration. These seven Notes marks of fidelity in the development of an ideaare to be applied to the current developments of Christian doctrine. And here Newman advises us to watch for "the unity and identity of the idea with itself through all stages of its development."
Augustine had it wrong. He even mistranslated parts of the original fall. The Eastern Orthodox Church has many fundamental differences with his understanding.
Many Eastern Orthodox Theologians believe that Augustines writings play a significant role in the eventual demise of the West, including the necessity for Papal Infallibility, the Protestant fragmentation, and, played to its eventual end, agressive Atheism (since the rational mind confronted with conflicting mistruth will falsely accept one, the other, or reject them both).
See http://www.orthodoxpress.org/parish/river_of_fire.htm for a very good, yet short explaination of this problematic paradigm between EO and Western Theology.
Not by nature...as our first father before his choice to disobey, was innocent, but by descent--everyone has inheritied the trait...(almost like a mutation...)---the doctrine of orginal sin is quite a mystery--but vital to a right understanding of the gospel of the "new Adam" Jesus Christ.
Why did then THE most agressive atheistic ideology, namely Communism, find its most fertile soil...and fearful results in the lands of the Eastern Church?
Just asking, not being argumentative, and have yet to read your suggested site.
"Anybody else miss ol' biblewonk?"
I do. Why did he get banned?
"Why did then THE most agressive atheistic ideology, namely Communism, find its most fertile soil...and fearful results in the lands of the Eastern Church? Just asking, not being argumentative, and have yet to read your suggested site."
I don't take your question as argumentative...but to respond, please don't take my answer to be so either.
The same question, the Jews standing beneith our suffering Lord ask, "If you are truly the Christ, come down from the cross and we will believe?"
25 million Orthodox died in Russia for their faith during the period of time you state. If you think the Jewish Holocaust was bad, multiply that by 5.
Don't mistake, as did those mocking Christ 2000 years ago, the pursecution of His body for weakness. To the world this is a true mystery. More faithful Christians have died in the last century alone than in all the previous centuries combined since 33 AD.
But many walked away in 33 AD convienced Jesus could not have been the Christ. Many walk in the world today for the same reason...His death was weakness...His followers deaths are weakness.
I would argue that where the body of Christ is most greatly pursecuted, there you will find Christ Himself. To those that think the world has change, or that evil pursecutes Christ less in todays world...I would say that evil has won you over.
Until all the elect are identified (which will not be until Christ returns), the world will still not recognize Christ (since bad things shouldn't happen to good people...right).
All I know is some people around here regularly accused him of "bashing" Roman Catholicism. Others (maybe the same people?) insisted he's a racist (he's not).
It's a shame he's not tolerated here, though. Few people know the Bible better than biblewonk. He wasn't afraid to call it like he saw it.
Oh, and whatever his alleged infraction(s), he's not welcome to come back. Bummer.
""Why did then THE most aggressive atheistic ideology, namely Communism, find its most fertile soil...and fearful results in the lands of the Eastern Church?"
O, and I must add this too...
If you read the "River of Fire" that I recommended you'll find that the path away from true orthodox teaching (at least theologically) is first through the deception of Sola Scriptura, ex cathedra, and prideful ego (to which Rome submitted and fully realized by 1054).
Based on this great error, it was only a matter of time before the individual man would ask the same question (especially in light of the errors of Rome)...if he can do it why not me?
But then it comes full circle...
Now man separated from the true Body of Christ and following his own was is worse off then in the beginning. He resents the beginning, frustrated by the failures of his ways, the continuing disillusionment of fragmentation, disunity, numerous exclusive interpretations of the same scripture...he begins to believe there is no God, no unity, no truth, and the one holy catholic and apostolic church is just one of 25,000 others. That all are enslaved by a belief that there is a God...finally persecuting that which he lost by pride.
Why was Russia so persecuted; because Judas is still alive in the world (figurative for those literalist reading this). Ultimately so discouraged, that persecution is the only means to satisfy a profound emptiness.
Again, dont mistake that fact that Judas can exist in the presence of Christ as a sign that both are from the same tree.
"I would argue that where the body of Christ is most greatly pursecuted, there you will find Christ Himself. "
Then He is in China.
"Until all the elect are identified (which will not be until Christ returns), "
Are you Orthodox?
"Ultimately so discouraged, that persecution is the only means to satisfy a profound emptiness."
Now there is a truly new concept to me. Very interesting.
All the quotes you posted indicate is that the bishop has the primary jurisdiction and that the bishops, heirs of the Apostles, are equal in honor. The Church agrees. (We need to see the context before we can understand what the "universal priest" is supposed to mean; on the face of it, it does not apply to the pope since the Eucharist consecrated by the pope has no qualities or essence distinct from the Eucharist consecrated by any other priest).
To see a reasonable criticism of the post-1054 papacy, as well as informed reading of the fathers, one needs to go the an Orthodox source. But then, of course, one would have to remember that the modern papacy developed, very unfortunately, in near isolation from the Eastern bishops and served primarily the needs of the West.
As to the question where the Reform movement stands today, I applaud your interest in finding that out. Let us know when your are done.
In the spirit of scholarly discussion.
I will confess to being a bit confused as to the structure of the article, the beginning does not link to the end...any from a reformed perspective....assuming "Sola Scriptura" why should the average reformed individual really care what the early fathers had to say as it is not contained in the Cannon of scripture?
It would have been better (and less liable to rile folks) had it focused exclusively on "Sola Gratia" and the statistics on the reformed movement that it supplies.
Just an observation.....
the an Orthodox -> to an Orthodox
" 'I would argue that where the body of Christ is most greatly persecuted, there you will find Christ Himself. ' Then He is in China. 'Until all the elect are identified (which will not be until Christ returns), ' Are you Orthodox?"
Christ is God and is therefore in all places and fills all things. So the question, "Is Christ in China" can be answered by asking a similarly difficult question "Is Christ in Hell?"
An Orthodox would answer both "Yes".
Like a deep depression is a state of mind, Hell is a state of soul in the presence of Grace (not hard to see in the world today when people truly hate God who has only done wonderful things for them). The depth of sin however is far more reaching than death for Christ raised faithful Lazarus from death (in concert with Lazaruss will), but not the unfaithful Judas from willful sin (which is against not Christs will, but against Judass will).
Hell is a place where Christ continues to knock on the door of the soul but it will never open. Lazarus opened the door, Judas will not but Christ will eternally continue to reach out to both.
Where is the Church and who is saved? (Your questions just asked a bit more bluntly since it seems to be a residual question that lingers from Protestant-Roman Catholic confrontations)...Orthodox would answer "We know where the Church (and its fullness) is, but not where it is not". There are many Orthodox that will not be saved (as there were disciples unsaved...Judas...even though the fullness of the Truth was contained in Christ). There will be many non-Orthodox saved, who hear the voice of God, and respond in Truth (yet I would argue not to read to much into this, or to base your salvation on it, since Truth will be recognized by the faithful when it is presented...such as the thief on the cross).
Am I Orthodox (which literally means right worship) I would answer
I hope so.
Yes and no. I know Cyprian is very popular in Orthodox apologetics, so you could suggest that it is a defense of Orthodox Ecclesiology, but there are one or two things further down that are incompatible with the Orthodox Faith
(I will confess to never seeing any scholarly articles on the concept of Grace within the Eastern traditions though)
Also if you notice the footnote on Cyprian's use of the title "Pope" you'll find it vague. If I recall correctly he was Bishop of Alexandria which used that title...so I have some questions as to the authors historical knowledge.
"...why should the average reformed individual really care what the early fathers had to say as it is not contained in the Cannon of scripture? "
Well, maybe one arguement would be that it was the Fathers of the Church that "were lead by the Holy Spirit" to both write and define what the Cannon of Scripture was.
It is a pretty weak argument to assume that you are lead by the Holy Spirit when in the same breath you'd expect that because the Law was written by Moses and replaced by Christ, Moses should not have been standing on the same hill with Christ during the Transfiguration.
I would argue that the Church Fathers will be standing in Christ's glory far before any of us. And it might be a good idea before throwing out the baby with the bathwater that you really understand the theological significance of what you're throwing out. It was the Orthodox Church Fathers that gave you the scripture you hold in your hands today. It was the Orthodox Church Fathers that gave their lives for what you take for granted.
Here is an arguement that you'll not find the Roman Catholic Church using often:
If the Pope (Bishop) of Rome is infallible, then Pope Leo the Great's tome concerning infallibility must be infallible. Yet it was an arguement against infallibility.
It's like trying to reconcile error with error. It does not work.
Very little, and often nothing, of what any pope speaks or writes is infallible. To be infallible a statement must be made in consensus of all the bishops who are in communion with Rome on matters of faith and morals and it should make clear that the pope intends it to come from the Chair of Peter and not from him as a private theologian. I don't know enough to say the Leo the Great's book is infallible, and I don't know enough to say that it contradicts the doctrine of infallibility rightly understood; do you?
"It's like trying to reconcile error with error. It does not work."
Please, let's not start confusing ourselves with the facts.
You kind of lost me with this post...not sure I understand what you are trying to say.
While not really germaine to my comments...the document which you refer to is not an "ex-Cathedra" statement and therefore doesn't pertain to the infallibility issue.
I'm really very confused as to why you threw that out there......
"Very little, and often nothing, of what any pope speaks or writes is infallible."
Quantity has very little to do with it. Filioque, although inserted many years before the more refined doctrines of infallibility, was none the less inserted into the Nicene Creed (itself well defined statements of the entire body of Christ...including the Roman Bishop) with the spirit of infallibility. Theologians could argue that it was this prideful spirit which innovated this insertion into Christ words that ultimately necessitated the need to claim Papal infallibility.
Mechanics of infallibility are equally meaningless. St Peter, when siding with the Circumcision, was rebuked by St Paul (see Gal 2:11-16). And yet, even a millennium after the erroneous Filioque entry, which Rome ultimately had to justify with infallibility, which Rome realized later was not in the original language used by any of the Gospels, has yet to repent and set the record straight.
The point is, you cannot use the vast cumulative output of the popes to look for statements that infallibly deny infallibility, as you attempted.
I do not think the dual procession of the Holy Ghost has been defined infallibly. Further movement on this doctrine is possible, and, given some intriguing passages in the recent Deus Caritas Est, likely.
The struggle between the Ultramontanists (those who believe in papal supremacy) and the decentralists (those who do not) is as old as the Church itself.
So is good and evil (as old as the church). What is the point you're making? Because it's an old argument one should pass over it?
In a simplistic view, it was Truth that was sacrificed on the Cross (I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life).
Are we to continue to sacrifice Truth or defend it? To deny it or affirm it? To lose faith in it (or it's existence) or to believe in it?
Truth exists and has NEVER failed...look for it. Hint: It is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb 13:8).
No, in fact the complaints began in earnest after the split over the filioque in 1054, and especially when the West, under assault from the neo-iconoclast anticlerical Protestants developed an assertive style of papacy, understandably unpalatable to the East, but indispensable in the West. Prior to 1054 there has been remarkably little controversy regarding papal primacy, if you discount off-the-cliff heretics, of course.
I can see where people would get the anti-Catholic thing (though its not like he was Jack Chick or anything) but racist??? I never read anything he posted that was racist.
"(I will confess to never seeing any scholarly articles on the concept of Grace within the Eastern traditions though)"
Read +Gregory Palamas and his writings on created vs uncreated grace (energies).

I don't recall anything racist, and although I think he was obnoxious, there was no reason to ban him. I am surprised he was, I thought he disappeared tired of his one-trick-pony routine.
Maybe he got raptured?
Poor thing. Imagine going through Heavens like this:
St. Agness. Pleased to meet you. Biblewonk. Where are you in the Bible?
St Anselm. Pleased to meet you. Biblewonk. Where are you in the Bible?
"I do not think the dual procession of the Holy Ghost has been defined infallibly."
Sure it was, at Nicea, Alex. But that doesn't end the discussion, AMHN. Where the problem has been for the past 1000 years or so has been with the West's own, often theological and hierarchial if not papal, attempts to justify filioque with novel theology. The understanding of the procession of the Holy Spirit in the East has always been as stated by +Gregory Palamas in the 13th century:
"The Spirit of the supreme Logos is a kind of ineffable yet intense longing or 'eros' experienced by the Begetter for the Logos born ineffably from Him, a longing experienced also by the beloved Logos and Son of the Father for His Begetter; but the Logos possesses this love by virtue of the fact that it comes from the Father in the very act through which He comes from the Father, and it resides co-naturally in Him.
It is from the Logos's discourse with us through His incarnation that we have learned what is the name of the Spirit's distinct mode of coming to be from the Father and that the Spirit belongs not only to the Father but also to the Logos. For He says 'the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the Father' (John 15:26), so that we may know that from the Father comes not solely the Logos - who is begotten from the Father - but also the Spirit who proceeds from the Father. Yet the Spirit belongs also to the Son, who receives Him from the Father as the Spirit of Truth, Wisdom and Logos. For Truth and Wisdom constitute a Logos that befits His Begetter, a Logos that rejoices with the Father as the Father rejoices in Him.
This accords with the words that He spoke through Solomon:'I was She who rejoiced together with Him' (Prov. 8:30). Solomon did not say simply 'rejoiced' but 'rejoiced together with'. This pre-eternal rejoicing of the Father and the Son is the Holy Spirit who, as I said, is common to both, which explains why He is sent from both to those who are worthy. Yet the Spirit has His existence from the Father alone, and hence He proceeds as regards His existence only from the Father. Our intellect, because created in God's image, possesses likewise the image of this sublime Eros or intense longing - an image expressed in the love experienced by the intellect for the spiritual knowledge that originates from it and continually abides in it."
So far as I know, and I base this on the comments of the Roman and Orthodox theologians who together came up with an agreed statement on the Creed, this is the precise and correct meaning of the filioque for Roman Catholicism. Thus the Roman Church has apparently agreed that the Creed without the filioque is "normative" and should be what is used for translations and catechesis.
The filioque started out as an attempt to counter Arianism. Its imposition on the Church by Rome was at a minimum misguided and I think, AMHN, you may be right that it at least in part lies at the base of medieval claims of papal supremacy. Remember that in the False Union of Florence, Orthodoxy was not required to accept the filioque. By the time of the Reformation, Rome had reason to harden its positions about papal supremacy, but they weren't cvoming from the East.
Frankly, AMHN, the filioque is only an issue if Rome insists on a dual procession of the HS...and if it really ever did, it doesn't now.
so who was the first Pope?
To whom did Jesus give the keys to the kingdom? (And yes, it's in the Bible!)

Slowing down just not in race director's DNA
CARLSBAD — Stage road races for 30 years and you have tales to tell. Here are a couple of Lynn Flanagan's favorites.
There was the time somebody forgot to unlock the Porta Johns before the San Diego Marathon. Or the morning when one of the elite runners showed up a bit unprepared, missing his shoes. The media truck ran out of gas once.
There were protest concerns when Zola Budd wanted to run a 10K spanning the San Diego-Coronado Bridge. Budd was born in South Africa, which at the time practiced apartheid politics. Someone with the San Diego Police Department figured there was an easy way to protect Budd. Just run beside her.
Flanagan explained why that wasn't feasible.
"You can't keep up with her," she said.
Flanagan is 69 years old now. She's still president of In Motion Inc., the family-run company she founded, whose marquee event is Sunday's Carlsbad Marathon and Half Marathon. But she stepped back last May, passing day-to-day operations to her daughter, Christine Adams.
"It was time," Flanagan said.
The woman is hardly sitting at home, waiting to baby-sit the 11 grandkids.
She's taking two art classes. One room at home is reserved for her work, which apparently is improving.
"We're venturing outside that room," she said.
Flanagan belongs to two book clubs.
She works out with a personal trainer twice a week, runs 18 to 24 miles a week and if you called the office, it was Flanagan answering the phone this week.
"I will probably always work," said Flanagan, who has cut her schedule back from 50 to 15 to 20 hours. "I don't like to use the word retire. I think it's a bad word. I'm transitioning. To retire, rest, that's not for me."
Sunday's half marathon sold out at 8,500 entrants. At $60 per entry, that's $510,000. The marathon maxed out at 1,500 entries. At $90 per, that's an additional $135,000. To the uninformed, it sounds like a profitable business. Buy T-shirts, rent Porta Johns, set up cones, print money.
If only it were so simple. Flanagan took out a loan on her house about 15 years ago to cover expenses. But a company that promised to deliver sponsorship dollars didn't deliver and Flanagan lost her home.
To stay solvent, the family painted warehouses, cleaned offices and sold race T-shirts at swap meets.
"It was very challenging," recalled Adams, "but giving up was never an option."
Flanagan grew up in a wooded Michigan town on Lake Huron named Harrisville where she explored the backcountry. Population in 2000: 514. Like a Kenyan raised in the Rift Valley, Flanagan said, "I think I was one of those people who was born to run."
In 1978, she signed up her four kids for a running program. She ran with them along Mission Bay and was hooked.
"I even love running by myself," she said. "You just experience so much. It clears your head. You can think."
The business is profitable now, having turned the corner about four years ago. The key, Flanagan said, was focusing on quality rather than quantity. In Motion once staged as many as 20 events a year. That number now: seven.
Her reputation in the community is of someone who cares.
"It's a family business," said Bob Babbitt, co-publisher of Competitor Magazine. "They care about the runner. They care about the sponsor. They care about the city."
Eight years ago, hours after the last runner crossed the finish line at the Carlsbad Marathon, Flanagan took a call from an employee who was crying.
"You have to come and meet someone," the man said.

The auction of accused murderer Cesar Laurean's home has been delayed at the request of the mortgage holder.
Some thirty people showed up Monday afternoon at the steps of the Onslow County Courthouse for the auction.
Last year Laurean was charged with killing Maria Lauterbach at the home and burying her body in the backyard.
Countrywide Financial gave no reason for the delay. The opening bid was just under $102,000.
The foreclosure auction has been rescheduled for January 26th.
A law firm is auctioning the Jacksonville house where investigators found the charred remains of a pregnant Marine.
Cpl. Cesar Laurean used to live at the home that's going up for auction Monday afternoon in Onslow County. He has been charged in the killing of Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach of Vandalia, Ohio.
Investigators found Lauterbach's charred remains last year in a shallow grave in Laurean's backyard. Laurean was arrested in Mexico in April and has been fighting extradition back to North Carolina.
The single-story, 1,100-square foot house near Camp Lejeune has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The law firm Brock & Scott PLLC says the opening bid is about $102,000.
