Today Halloween is primarily marked by putting on a disguise and asking for candy, but Halloween has its roots in at least two Medieval celebrations: the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holiday All Saint's Day. The spooky festival's name, however, comes from only one.Samhain is Gaelic for "summer's end," and marks what has loosely been labeled the "Celtic New Year," the end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half." One of the four fire festivals of the year, it was celebrated on November 1 when, it was believed, the dead arose for one night. Sound familiar?
The other celebration, All Saint's Day, honors all of the Catholic saints. The Roman Catholic Church refers to it as the "Solemnity of All Saints." Though this celebration does not bear a close resemblance to the festivities of Halloween, it did give the holiday its name. The word Halloween is a direct derivation of All Saints' Day. All Hallows in Old English means "the feast of the saints." Halloween, first attested in the 18th century, is a Scottish variant of All-Hallows-Even. The Even meant evening. The spelling of the word was once Hallowe'en, in which the "v" was elided. The current spelling wasn't widely adopted until the 20th century.

thx for the info.
Hi but i disagree with you in fact thik the oposite of it
sorry but that was a type-o i think the opsite
yes I am Jackson and I is Rihanna
In Albanian Language that means -
Halloween = Hall o ween
Hall – trouble(s)
o- is (are)
ween – vijn – Coming
Halloween = Trouble(s) are coming
Albanian Language says that in this period og year, troubles are coming, that is why we should frighten them with terrible faces.
That's very interesting, thanks for sharing!
My mother hates Halloween. Says its celebrating part of a demonic ritual, so I never went out on Halloween. Thanks for the info. though. Appreciate it
Good for you because that means you did not caught the satanic curse. GOD bless you.
Whoa. That's deep. Its good to know though. Thank you!

Thanks for increasing my knowledge about halloween.
That was just complete foolishness. So incorrect.
Halloween owes its existence mostly to the Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-INN). When the Church tried to convert pagans in Europe, they would invent holidays with similar but more "appropriate" religious themes to those celebrated by the pagans, and place them on similar dates. This apparently helped ease the transition for most converts. That is why Samhain is close to All Saints Day, Christmas is close to the Winter Solstice, and Easter is close to the Spring Equinox.
For most Celtic tribes, fall was viewed as a time of preparation for the dark winter months ahead. During winter, the time between sunrise and nightfall is shortened due to way the Earth tilts on its axis. The closer you are to the Arctic Circle, the more exaggerated the effect. Fall was viewed as a time of death, and Samhain was considered to be the one night of the year when ghosts and witches could freely roam the Earth. The Catholic Church created two holidays (All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day) to celebrate the dead and gently remind their pagan converts that the Christian afterlife was the "real deal".
wow, This Is CRAZY .
whats with the ghost pictures?
Warjna, I found the perfect Scripture passage to refute your whole argument except the part about the devil. "Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles [non-Jews] too? Yes, _of Gentiles too,_ since there is _only one God_, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised by that same faith" (Romans 3:29-30), emphasis mine. If you don't believe me, look it up, as you suggest we do. I used the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible. And it's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," not "A Midsummer Night's Eve." Where in that play does it say that it takes place on June 21? Also, "midsummer" and "midwinter" could refer to any time between the first and the last days of those seasons. So even though Christmas is just 4 days after the winter solstice, it is still technically in midwinter.
Is everybody 13 on here? All Hallow's Day is November 1st. All Hallow's Eve is October 31st. Christmas Eve isn't on December 25th, weirdos :\
Furthermore, the tradition of Halloween was meant to ward off evil spirits for All Saint's Day.
The whole thing about the veil between the living and the dead being lifted on Halloween is correct. Dressing up in scary costumes was supposed to be a way of scaring away evil spirits to allow the spirits of the saints to come unharmed the next day — All Saints Day — and the spirits of loved ones the day after that — November 2.
Jennifer is correct about November 2nd; that day is called "All Souls Day" (or variations thereof) in the Roman Catholic faith. The rest of her statement sounds OK as well…
Sounds like instead of the "v" it should've been "n" that's elided leaving "eve."
Then we would have Halloweve instead!
I'm speaking Irish NOw!..
I said Cheers!
I think the author of this article is mistaken. Halloween comes from the word: All Hallows' Eve, not All Hallows' Evening, since that would refer as Halloween being on Nov 1st (All Hallows) rather than the day before.
Warjna, you are wrong. Where in the Bible does it say that "Satan is an invention of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic religion triad – in fact, it's not a person, it's a job title"? If what you say is true, please provide references to where you got this information instead of telling us to look it up ourselves. (Of course it is a good idea to look things up on your own. But still.) Also, while the Bible does say, "You shall have no other gods before me," it also explicitly states that there _are_ no other gods, at all. One such instance is Isaiah 46:9, which says, "I [this is God speaking] am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me." There are many other passages which specifically say that there is only one God, the true God of the Bible. Some of these are in Deuteronomy, 2 Kings, Psalms, Isaiah, Mark, John…the list goes on. So why don't you take some of your own advice and look it up for yourself? And before you ask, yes, Jesus is also God, but He is not a separate God. God exists in the Trinity – God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. They are three Persons, but they are all one God. So Christians, like Jews and Muslims, have only one God, not three. However, Jews and Muslims do not believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, that he never did anything wrong, that he was crucified, and that three days later he came back to life. Christians believe that Jesus came to Earth as the Lamb of God, the perfect and sinless sacrifice to save all humanity from our sins so that we can enjoy a relationship with God, and go to heaven and live forever with Him when we die. Neither Jews, nor Muslims, nor any other religion, believes this. That's the difference between Christianity and other religions. Most religions believe that if you live a good life and do enough good things, you will go to heaven/nirvana/whatever the religion believes in. But Christians believe that you _can't_ earn your way to heaven because we've all done wrong things, and since God is holy, he cannot be near sin. Only faith in His Son Jesus Christ can save you. I'm always open to discussion about this, and I post on every article, so you can find me anywhere on Dictionary.com. Thanks for reading this.
awesome way of putting it!
Amen. There is one thing that has always bothered me about the word "Christianity." If a person is not Jewish, Muslim, etc. he says he is Christian. That is only the Religion. I am Christian because I have accepted the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and have asked Him to forgive me of my sins, and become my Lord and Savior. His Holy Spirit dwells within me. I live daily to serve Him and to please Him in all I do. My "works" are not to gain Salvation, and ultimately Heaven, my "works" are because of what He has done for me. I call this a relationship rather than a religion. No other religions believe that we can have a personal relationship with the One and Only True God. I appreciate your testimony.
Cosborn, I don't know where you got your information, but Jews definitely have a personal relationship with G*D.
Wolf: don't Christians believe in the ten commandments? If you believe that Jews 'earn'their way to heaven by following the commandments and Tikkun Olam (basically translates to: the world is broken – fix it / leave this world better than you got it) so be it. But if you are going to share information about Judaism, at least get it right. Thanks
Your testimony is beautiful. Much appreciated.
You wrote (quote): "But Christians believe that you _can't_ earn your way to heaven because we've all done wrong things, and since God is holy, he cannot be near sin. Only faith in His Son Jesus Christ can save you."
1. We haven't ALL done bad things. "Paradise" is a metaphor, "Adam" and "Eve" are metaphors, the "serpent" is an allegory, a symbol of you prefer. Unlike other forms of life, humans are said to have been given 'free will' by God, (_by definition_, "Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent") and being not God themselves the corollary is that humans do not share the Perfection of the Absolute, of God, the Creator.
2. From here ensues that Humankind MUST therefore, (its a LOGIC implication) be NOT PERFECT, Tainted, if you will, by 'non-perfectedness' — unlike animals and plants that, as beings supposedly destitute of free will are always, and forever, INNOCENT of their deeds. This «non-perfect» attribute of Humankind became in the long run, responsible for the idea of SIN, in itself a CONSEQUENCE of our freedom to err, having been given FREE WILL.
3. Of course we, _individually_ may, or may not, be tainted. We may even be Saints (Saints, by the way, are _by axiom_ exceptionally GOOD human beings — not supernatural nor angel-like creatures).
4. So, We can earn our way to Heaven or Salvation or whatever the name you want to give it THROUGH OUR GOOD, "COMPLETE", DEEDS. Its not "your faith will save you", like in a business bargain — that was the historical mistake of the Christian Churches! — It is rather, if you in EARNEST do BELIEVE, then you and your deeds although born of Free Will will be INSPIRED BY the Holy Ghost, which is one of the _"personnas"_ of GOD's Trinity. So, there you have it: Humans were given Free Will but their true (again: TRUE!) faith will give them the GRACE of the Holy Ghost — which is GOD, in its own right.
5. Because GOD is a GOD of LOVE, then, of course, he gives his "children", his "creatures" (in the correct etymological sense of the word, those that He CREATED) when they ERR, the MERCY of a second chance to mend their ways. And it is this, and only this, that is the meaning of REPENTANCE — you have been given a second chance, some times a third, fourth chance — to give your FREE WILL and your "FREE-WILLing" life a MEANING, to give your life a PURPOSE and as such and through that, to HONOUR and GLORIFY the CREATOR.
6. As such, you can earn your way to Heaven — but only in EARNEST. And because of God's Omniscience, God will know if we are being truthful or not, and if we have honoured him throughout our life. So there is no Hell nor is there any picturesque Heaven, nor even is there any such place as the Purgatory — they are allegories, images, metaphors and symbols: the Bible ("Biblia" = "Books") are mostly symbolic in nature: that is, they talk about things abstract in nature by referring to other things that we already know, its a communicational ruse, and a good one at that. What matters is the CORE message, not the other layers, not the folklore, the clothing of the speeches in verbs and adverbs, adjectives and names, not the naming, the exact verbalisation present in the Bible texts — Not FUNDAMENTALISM, Not LITERALISM, NOT INTOLERANCE nor PROSELITISM — but the **CORE CENTRAL IDEAS**.
7. The rest is POLITICS, and Games of Power — in fact, never better said, "Games of Thrones". This Games of Power fundamentally destroyed Roman-Germanic Europe in the XVII Century and gave birth to something new, mostly terrible, a struggle for Power in the Christian world, brother against brother, through BOTH the REFORMATION and THE COUNTER-REFORMATION — a different age in which WE ALL failed — and still do — to Honour and GLORIFY the Creator through our DEEDS.
8. "RELIGION" comes from the Latin for "Re-Connect" (Humankind seeking ways to reconnect with its Creator). Its not about OUR truth, BUT HIS TRUTH, not our opinions but HIS LOVE, not about who is RIGHT or WRONG but about ACKNOWLEDGING HIM, HONOURING HIM AND GLORIFYING HIM BY LOVING HUMANKIND, EACH AND EVERYONE, BY HONOURING ONE ANOTHER, BY HONOURING OUR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE TIES AND BY GLORIFYING HIM BY BUILDING A MEANINGFUL HUMANKIND.
9. AND THIS we can do in the comfort of our home THROUGH OUR DEEDS, we can do one another THROUGH FAIR AND EARNEST DEEDS, and as such we will be, in fact, BELIEVING.
10. And all of this OUT OF LOVE FOR GOD, the FATHER/MOTHER, and for our BROTHERS in HUMANKINDness. We celebrate COMMON condition as creatures of God by LIVING PURPOSEFULLY and MEANINGFULLY and thus, MORALLY.
The rest — all the rest — is just cosmic dust, infinite "nothing" surrounded by the emptiness of VOID.

Hey, Saf, are you the same guy who posted on the article about the roots of the word September? The one of Persian descent? You should use _only_ facts in your arguments. That way, the other person can't prove you wrong!
AMY-LOU, on Samhain, the Celtics believed the souls of the dead would come back, as well as other spirits, both good and evil. Many people disguised themselves in hopes that their ghostly visitors would not recognize them. (That is why we now dress up for Halloween.) People also left offerings of food and drink outside their doors, hoping to appease the spirits. (That's the origin of handing out candy.) That is why many people nowadays, especially Christians, do not approve of Halloween. They believe that it is wrong to celebrate a holiday which once centered around ghosts (the souls of the dead) and ghouls (spirits). My family believes that celebrating Halloween is all right as long as you know the truth – that according to the Bible, once a person has died, their soul does not come back to the earth.
savvy918, I'm only 13 (in about a month), but see how much even kids can know!
I think this is a trick as opposed to a treat…
The definition given here of the etymology of the word Halloween is not totally correct. It is partially correct in that the name does come from "All Hallows Day" – I.e. All Saints' Day, on the 1st November. The day before this is "All Hallows Eve" I.e. the day before All Hallows Day, similarly to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. However, where they go wrong is when they indicate that the original word for Halloween; Halloweven, was meant to signify the evening of All Hallows Day, which of course would not make sense, as Halloween takes place the day before. The mistake is in believing that the "even" part of the name relates to the evening of the day, when in fact it is a Scottish version of the world eve, meaning 'night before' as previously indicated. Over time, as mentioned in the article, the letter 'v' was elided, as well as the 'All' from All Hallows Even, to give us what we use today: Halloween.
I had known this for some time and doublechecked with google/wikipedia to make sure. I was surprised to see such a mistake on as prestigious a site as dictionary.com, which I enjoy using (along with thesaurus.com) on a daily basis. This is what leads me to believe that it is a trick instead of a treat!

ghosts are spirits, and goblins more represent gargoyles, which are present in most 1800′s churches. with the bats and spiders, old churches were usually house to a few bats and spiders. original costumes used to be scary, none of this ironman/spongebob stuff. The catholic saints would tell stories concerning these scary creatures to the children of the church as a menthod to keep them from misbehaving. ever heard the term "watch out, or the boogeyman 'll getcha"?
Please, don't take Hotword as your source for factual information.
Samhain was the Gaelic version of a pre-Christian Scandinavian festival of the dead. In Samhain belief, it was a night where the borders between the living & dead weakened, and the dead roamed. They used to build huge bonfires, and have both people and cattle ran between the bonfires as a protection ritual against the dead. In Scandinavia, it was a night to pay homage to humanity's elven cousins and dead heroes.
When Christianity came, they forced everybody to worship their dead saints instead, changing it to the days 1st to 4th of November, which is where the name comes from.
my son had a dream. : ) i is mlk the first.
If Halloween has something to do with saints, where do those funny spooky and horror images come in? It makes people feel that its of the devil doesn't it?
Look at the posts before yours and you'll find the answer. And yes, It is of the devil if that is how you want to think of it. I respect others opinions, but I think it is fine, as long as we keep our actions and thoughts clean as well as our intents.(I'm awful at wording, some one help?)
good lord. for people to come here to DICTIONARY.com and misspell so many words is way more scary than hallowe'en!!!
So true! Hahaha!
"Even" or "Eve" refers to the evening BEFORE an event, not the evening of the event. So "All-Hallows-Even" refers to the evening before All Saints' Day and Christmas Eve refers to the evening before Christmas, etc. The article implies that Halloween occurs on the evening OF All Saints' Day, whereas it is actually on November 1.
Hello fwends
nbfan- I think you'll find the correct spelling is 'pagan' and that many church practices and many of the dates on the Christian calendar have their roots in pagan traditions.
Halloween somehow has a tinge of comical ring although after learning of its religious origin. I hope it is not sacrilegious.
It is usually safe on the other side against the screen–halloween is the one of the teen scary movies.
Nowdays the TV manutactures is shifting their products from a traditional two dimetinal to 3D without special glasses.
Many things frustrating about this thread. Halloween or Hallowe'en, being All Hallows Eve, is the christianization of an earlier pagan holiday. Pagan in the religious sense refers to any religion that does not derive from the Judeo-Christian-Islamic triad of religions: remember that Christianity and Islam both grew out of Judaism! (Look it up if you don't believe me – but actually look it up!) The Romans and the Greeks were pagans – people of the countryside. Again, look up the derivation of the word. The Library of Congress article that EvolveFIRE (THANK YOU!) referenced includes the information of Pope Gregory's instructions to incorporate and subsume the celebrations of other religions to draw the people into christianity. Jahweh-Jehovah-God-Allah is the deity for His people only. The Bible does not say there are no other gods, it says "you (meaning His people, the Jews of the time) shall have no other gods before Me." No, really. Look it up. If you are reading dictionary.com, you have at least half a brain. Use it. Satan is an invention of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic religion triad – in fact, it's not a person, it's a job title. Again – look it up! Honest, it's right there in the Bible! In fact, while you're at it, look up the derivations (NOT the definitions!) of demon and devil, it's very enlightening. Demon and devil are words meaning "little god" and were used to demonize (hello, recognize the derivation?) the deities of other religions.
And while I'm on a rant, let me hit on the changes to reality that the American greeting card companies have perpetrated on us: June 21st is not the FIRST day of summer, it is Midsummer Day – remember A Midsummer Night's Eve? Nor is December 21st the FIRST day of winter! That Christmas carol doesn't say "In the bleak first day of winter"! It says "In the bleak midwinter"! Those are the summer and winter solstices. Those are the days when the sun stops (that's what the word means) its apparent course and starts returning, making the days longer toward summer and shorter toward winter.
Nuff said, sorry for the rant.
I totally agree with U but ,wolf tamer and tree puncher does have a good point =)
True, and I know in my religion we believe that WE will become like gods after our life on earth. It makes me wonder maybe The "cycle" has happened before and God is the God over all and Jesus is "god" over us, but gave his glory to God, as God is his God and having "no other gods before me" he made God our God. He having us by when his going TO Heaven he became like a god. Just my crazy thoughts.
Cool story, bro
Actually, before the Schism of the Western and Eastern Churches, All Saint's Day was originally celebrated in the spring–the Sunday after Pentecost. The Catholic Church later moved the feast to Nov. 1st.
how abut jack the ripper? was he a Jack O' Lantern fan?
The Celtic New Year being November 1st, is probably a mistake from around the time the Roman calendar had drifted 2-months ahead … (Julius Caesar corrected said calendar when it reached 3-months ahead: He set it back 90 days so January 1st became the Roman New Year, but the factual 'New Year' was thereby restored to April 1st as it had been millennia earlier. Later Pope Gregory in AD 1582 moved our, 'New Years' forward to January 1st….
The getting-right of calendars has plagued the [AUTOCENSORED LACUNA] since the earliest counts, transitioning from lunar-calendars 12-moons-per-year, to Jubilean 800-moons-per-about-65-years, to the Nippur/Jewish solar-lunar calendar (intercalating an occasional 13th-moon to correct it for solar)– and is even the [LACUNA] source meaning of "sinner"….
On the other subject Dictionary.com tangented: What letters get elided? The "V" is most-obvious: e'er for ever, e'en for even, (both meanings), and the negation, ne'er for never…. (French does "L," du for de-le.)
Please, Do not delete my posts– The prior dictionary.com discussion re twins, misremoved my well-founded remark on "sororal" twins– which has about-1800 'good' references in google, and means what it's supposed to mean despite the apparent fact that dictionary.com does not include it. (I've frequently, reported, to dictionary.com, many, words, they miss.)
Why doesn't this discussion e'en mention other common celebrations of Halloween– such as "Trick-or-treat-for-UNICEF…." Do something with your time other than deleting good intellectually-better discussions.
And, Why, do you e'en call it, a "holiday…early 20th century?"

Thank you "Guest." I agree.
Its one thing to have your house egged, its another thing to have your house egged every week.
I also Celebrate Day Of The Dead Nov 2nd!! It's a Mexican thing not sure what other cultures celebrate that or not…
Yeah, we philistine barbarians here in the States are unbelievable. Adapting and modernizing parts of language? How crude and uncultured!
Did you know that we also subsist on a diet of raw squirrel meat and whiskey?
(Also, I didn't actually see anyone mention that they didn't know that the "e'en" is a truncated version of "evening," or that they were American, but — hey, way to make pretentious generalizations about an entire country!)
There was a whole program on this subject on the History Channel a couple of days ago. It said that in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Halloween in the U.S. was an excuse for teenage thugs and older drunks to break windows, put carriages on rooftops, burn stuff, and terrorize neighborhoods. The entire concept of small children wandering about, with adults supervising in the background, really dates from only about the 1940s or so, with the addition of store-bought costumes and candy dating from shortly thereafter. The holiday as we know it is really not so old a tradition as most people think.
(I know what "e'en" means. I think this website is written for kids).
It appears to be all in fun but really doesn't please God or his Son at all. It's a horrible holiday!
I doubt it pleases God, But I wouldn't so readily judge it. AGHH! What is the word I'm looking for.
Denise, Satanic roots are one thing; pagans are another. Please don't confuse the two. The Celts were pagans and Samhain (pronounced "Sow-in") was a major celebration long before the Catholic church usurped as many pagan celebrations as possible in its universal effort to convert everyone. The pagan feast marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of the cold, dark winter (Skin saver, it is a literal term – short days, long nights, and icy cold would be VERY dark before electricity and central heating).
A similar pagan feast fell at the beginning of spring, the planting season, to celebrate the return of warm weather, green leaves, and sunshine. The church snagged that one too with the tale of the death and rebirth of their saviour… a theme that has been around since the earliest goddess worship (the death of her consort and his rebirth/reassembly -as found in Egypt's tale of Isis and Osiris).
Whatever they say, it still gives children something to look forward to,its a happy day for them, where they can get candies for free, where they can look spooky and scary at the same time,and people give them candies for it! try to look scary on a regular day? see if you'll get a candy hehehe…
Many Christians have left Halloween to the wayside, not so much because they think it represents a celebration of satan, but because of how society has changed the way we celebrate Halloween. It's definetly not the way it was back in the early 50′s. Halloween in the 21st century has redifined the word "scary"
wow i never really think about how words are made. i dont even know why i clicked on this. 0-o
wow! i never really think about how words come to be. i don't even know why i clicked on it. 0-o
Tamara – Good Explanation of why Feast Days have an "Eve" liturgically. Thanks.
Gm – Thanks for the update on Celtic Paganism
Taylor Gang – Isn't it a Lepracaun (sp?)
AnnaG – Most Christians believe (or ought to, since the Bible is pretty clear about it) that there are only two sides you can be on. So, yeah, paganism falls on the "not-Jesus" side – AKA Satan's side. I now that seems pretty intolerant and exclusive, but consider this…
If you were at the beach and someone was drowning, and lined up to help were a plumber, a computer programer, a horse trainer, a legal clerk, and a trained life guard, not only would you be calling for the life guard, but you would tackle to the ground anyone trying replace the guard with the plumber.
Hope that explainds the "all Jesus, all the time" you get from us Jesus people. Problem is we're not real good at living what we say we believe. Sorry (really).
Halloweeny – I suspect that you're HUGELY lapsed Catholic then. All Saints Day is November 1st and All Souls Day is usually on November 2 – except on Sundays. You've got them mixed up and I too went to Catholic school and vividly remember the dates.
#1 Skillet Fan – as others have pointed out, All Hallows Eve is the night before All Hallows Day or All Saints Day.
It's one thing to not give out candy. It's another thing to open your door and give people a lecture.
Darn, I was expecting a surprise. But doesn't everyone know that the "e'en" in Hallowe'en means evening? That's what we learned in school, and we also learned to spell it "Hallowe'en." Psh. Americans.
The ghosts probably came into Halloween because ancient pagans believed that Samhain was the one day of the year that the barrier between the earthly world and the other world was the thinnest. They believed that spirits of the dead (past relatives as well as malicious spirits) could visit the living on Samhain night. This is probably how All Saints Day came about, as a day to honor those spirits.
@ Kathrine
Ghosts and goblins were introduced by the Celts (I think) as a form of protection against the evil spirits.
@ Denise
Halloween has nothing to do with Satanism. Stop your fear mongering.
All Saints Day and Halloween are pagen, people! They have nothing to do with Christ\God!
Known for its witches, goblins, and other grotesque decorations and paraphernalia, Halloween—also called All Hallows' Eve or the eve of All Saints' Day—can be traced back to the ancient Celts of Britain and Ireland. On the full moon nearest November 1, they celebrated the festival of Samhain, meaning "Summer's End." They believed that during Samhain, the veil between the human and the supernatural worlds was parted and that spirits, both good and evil, roamed the earth. The souls of the dead were thought to return to their homes, and families would put out food and drink for their ghostly visitors in hopes of appeasing them. Thus, when children today, dressed as ghosts or witches, go from house to house threatening a mischievous trick unless they receive a treat, they unwittingly perpetuate the rituals of Samhain.

@Skillet (your first comment) I thought All Saints Day was November 1st? Or were you saying that Martin Luther's thesis thing was on October 31st?
@Kate (the other one) Omg there's someone else named Kate on here! Oh and btw, your comment answered my question for Skillet, so idk why I even added that part… O.o
"Eve" can simply mean the day before, not necessarily evening, as "on the eve of the election…" So Halloween is All Hallows Eve, the day before All Saints Day.
In the Catholic Church, a saint is anyone who has gone to heaven. The day before, All Souls Day, is about anyone who has died and is – possibly – in purgatory. The idea of ghosts, spooks, wandering souls, etc., has therefore come to be associated with the "restless" dead who have not reached their final destination.
You're thinking of Nate Robinson and yes, he is indeed "little". I thought that I was short at 5′ 8″, but even though he is listed as 5′ 9″, Nate Robinson is actually only 5′ 6″. This fact makes it even more impressive that he can dunk, and win a slam dunk contest over Dwight Howard is truly an accomplishment.
i love candy corn
This has nothing to do with this article that i know of but on the N.B.A team the Boston Celtics, what is that little guy?
I like the Boston Celtics! The Celtics new year this year was October, 26th VS Miami!
Last time my late father told me "Samuin" is the original spelling for Samhain. He read lots of articles related to a historian, Nicholas Rogers, who explore the origin of Halloween. What activity I like most celebrating Halloween? Just one, watching 'trick-or-treating' perform by children.
#1 Skillet Fan: re: Halloween not All Saints Day
The modern (at least in US) Roman Church generally only celebrates Mass, (and not the full cycle of the hours), but the older practice is that a feast begins with the celebration of Vespers the evening before (like Jewish feasts, and thus the Vigil Mass on Sat. night is actually the service for Sun. in current Roman practice). So, the celebration of All Saints Day would begin with Vespers on the evening of Oct. 31. Eastern Christians still follow this practice (although for Eastern Orthodox Christians, All Saints Day is the Sunday after Pentecost – usually in June).
@#1 Skillet Fan
Hallowe'en = All Hallows Even. i.e. the evening before All Hallows.
Similarly: Christmas Eve/ New Years Eve the evenings before Christmas or New Year.
I believe there is a similar thing in German where Samstag is Saturday is also known as Sonnabend (Sonn = Sun, abend = Evening; Sonntag = Sunday)
Once again, more common Halloween knowledge. I think that The Day of the Dead is also on Halloween. Kind of want to know more about that holiday.
"All Saint's Day wasn't on Halloween- it was the day after. Martin Luther posted the 95 theses on the day before All Saint's Day- which was, if you will do your reaserch, October 31st, 1517."
He didn't say it was on Halloween. Although he could've phrased it better, he was referring to the "eve" of All Saints Day (as in Christmas Eve is the evening before Christmas and New Years Eve is the evening before New Years day). Halloween is the eve of All Saints Day.
Halloween roots itself in ritual bloodletting, sacrifice and death. In satanic circles it is considered a high day. Like every other pagan practice, it's being termed as innocent and cute. Don't knock on my door unless you want the truth.
So, where did the ghosts and goblins come from. How come that's such a big part of Halloween?
why then all the ghostly images?
BYW – Why would All Saints Day have an "All Saints Eve"? It was a major fall celebration in the early and medieval church. Remember this is Europe mostly – no U.S. Thanksgiving. In the Church calendar, Advent (the 4 Sundays before Christmas) is the beginning of the Church Year. The symbolism in Nov. (as the Church Year comes to a close) is a remembering that on the last day, Jesus will return. Nov. 1 begins that focus on the "End Times" by celebrating all those who have been saved and have already gone to be with God. Our turn is coming. Lots of cultures have this emphasis in the fall as harvest and the onset of winter reminds us that all things will come to an end some day.
So All Saints was a big deal, not unlike our winter "holiday season".
Skillet Fan – I didn't even notice until you pointed it out that the article kind of flows from All Saints to All Hallows Eve without actually stating Nov.1 is All Saints, and Oct. 31 is All Saints Eve (or the night before… i.e. Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve). All Saints day to me is a celebration of the fact the my sins are forgiven because of Jesus' payment for them, and so I will stand perfected before God, like all those saints who have gone before me. I am one of them.
Amy-Lou – What do you mean by "bad"? If by "bad" you mean celebrating the spooky, I think that in the history of Christianity, and in times and places where superstitions were (are) common All Saints was combined with lots of spooky stories about "the dead", which is kind of silly if you really know what the Bible teaches about the spirits of dead people. Combine that with pagan ideas about the spirit world and witchcraft and you get a mixed up holiday which is good for nothing except the fun of putting on a costume and eating candy.
If you by "bad" you mean people doing stupid stuff, valdalizing property, hurting people, burning things, etc… I guess some people will always look for the chance to tear down instead of build up.
If by "bad" you mean pagan rituals and wicca celebrations which some people carry out on Oct. 31, someone who knows more about that will have to answer about why this is a big day for them…
Despite the noble attempt at defining the holiday, some of us would've appreciated a more through evaluation of Holloween and origins, curtesy of the U.S. Library of Congress: http://www.loc.gov/folklife/halloween.html
#1 Skillet Fan -
Thats why the 30th was All Hollows Eve. Just like Christmas Eve is the day before Christmas and New Year's Eve is the day before New Years Day.
I was hoping for something surprising but I've always known the "een" to mean even-ing. I learned it in school. I can't be the only one to have known that. I'm Irish though so fall (fell) into both the Celtic and Catholic traditions of the holiday. And yes, All Saints Day is November 1st. All Hallows Eve (Halloween) is October 31st. It's like Christmas Day and Christmas Eve.
I still spell it Hallowe'en. Though my headmaster in primary school was a bit of an old soul.
The apostrophe has only been dropped from the American spelling, the British spelling still has it! In modern Gaelic, interestingly, the word Samhain is the name for the month of November, while the actual night of Hallowe'en is called Oidhche Shamhna ("Samhain night"). The word for "summer" is samhradh.
Just saying – it doesn't matter if All Saints Day was the day after or not. I mean there's a whole host of holidays we celebrate on the wrong day or for the wrong reasons. As for how it became a "bad" thing, I think we all just need a time to not take death and spooky things so darn seriously keeps the kid in us alive. I'm 20 and I haven't missed a single year haha.
the lighter and darker part of the year is not metaphorical. It's literal. In Winter the days are shorter – so it get's darker earlier. In summer the days are longer – that's why they have daylight savings and stuff, because it's lighter.
bummer (oh and is bummer spelled with two m's or one)
that is freakishly wierd.
how old is everybody else here?:)
Are, you really asking that?
I love candycorn I want to eat all of it.
i think we should further change the word to represent how we today view this event. HELLOWEEN – HAHAHAHAHAHA(extended evil cackle)
ii is the day after all saints day when all souls day is celebrated i remembered that in that day when i was a child we used to go to the cementery in daytime and bring fresh flowers to grandpa or grandma or which ever other member of the familly were there.family used to get together and have a good drink , good smeelly bread baked during the day .and prey for the ones departed and tell scary stories about the leaving dead walking in the street on that spessific day ofcourse am talking about the grounups while we the children sleeping with the light on all night long.
when it says the 'v' was elided it means that over time the 'v' was left out of the prnounciation of the word in an effort to make it easier to say.
Some of my fondest childhood memories are of Halloween back int the forties. It is completely innocuous. Well…. except for the cavaties.
Wow thats really good to know. But then why do so many people try to make it bad?
All Saint's Day wasn't on Halloween- it was the day after. Martin Luther posted the 95 theses on the day before All Saint's Day- which was, if you will do your reaserch, October 31st, 1517.
'v' was elided?
What it mean by the beginning of the darker half? Is it cold winter in the literal sense or something metaphorical?
I like scary stories but only if when they are not too scary.
I like the words 'slap on the wrist.'

The District 3-4A and District 3-5A soccer season openers get a tentative go-ahead this weekend despite the ice and snow that has hampered the area since Wednesday.
The matches most in question involving metro teams are today's Palo Duro-Canyon boys/girls doubleheader, which is expected to begin at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Dick Bivins Stadium.
"Right now, it's on," said Tex Nolan, Amarillo ISD athletic director. "It's kind of 'iffy' for today, but it we find out we just can't go, we'll move those games to Saturday."
Amarillo High and Lubbock High are to meet at noon and 2 p.m. Saturday at Dick Bivins Stadium. If the Canyon-PD matches are postponed, they would be moved to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday, Nolan said.
"If we can get some melting so they're able to move around some, we're going to go ahead," he said. "We feel sure we'll be OK on Saturday."
Other Saturday matches include a 3-5A doubleheader with Tascosa at Lubbock Coronado beginning at noon, and a pair of 3-4A doubleheaders - Caprock at Borger beginning at noon, and Randall at Pampa, also at noon.

Is the Elf On Your Shelf?mybottlesup
Thinking that Jackson was at the "right age" (is there ever really a right age for anything?) for Elf on a Shelf, my husband and I decided this was the year to do it.
So we ordered one and I waited with bated breath for the bum-kissing of my 3 and a half year old to begin. I thought certainly this child who understands the concept of Santa would be on HIS BEST behavior once he realized how this Elf on a Shelf works.
And, as per usual, I was wrong.
Our box arrived, we announced it to Jackson as though it were sent to us by Santa himself. He was interested, so we started to read the story. The first thing you are asked to do, only a few pages in to the book, is to give a name to your elf. This is when Jackson decided he wanted nothing to do with us and this gig.
In his superbly manipulative ways, my 3 and a half year old son, put off naming his elf until it was PAINFUL for us to be sitting on the couch with him, awaiting his decision. And he milked it for everything it was worth.
So we took a break. The elf went back in his box, the box went in the hall closet, and we decided to bring it back out when Jackson seemed interested in it again.
Which was never.
With some time and coaxing, we eventually got Jackson to decide on a name for his elf… Jack. An eye roll from me and a pat on the back from his dad, Jackson had skeptically invited Jack into our home for the holidays.
Turkey day arrived, and my mom shared an article from her local paper that she had found about Elf on a Shelf being on CBS Friday night. We went ahead and DVR-ed it thinking that Jackson may just come around to embracing this thing with the help of television.
C'mon, we all know that tv cures all.
And that's exactly what happened. Something about seeing the entire concept in animated form with songs got Jackson excited about his Elf on a Shelf, and he has asked to watch "the story of Jack" numerous times since. He's even talking to Jack more and genuinely enjoying having this little kiddie stalker around.
What do you think about Elf on a Shelf? Is there one gracing your house? Does it creep you out? Does it work? Will I finally get my bum-kissing from my kid for the next 3 + weeks?

Changes—they are on the way
Charley Najacht
Published: Thursday, July 12th, 2012
Do you hesitate to make changes in your daily routine, or do you like things to stay just the way they are now? Well, the latter is not always possible, as we all know. Some changes are inevitable, like getting older or having to finally replace that pair of old and comfortable, but falling-apart shoes. You might have a favorite chair that is so comfortable that it conforms to every part of your aging body.
Well, it's getting close to the time when we will be making a major change in our newspapers. On Wednesday, Aug. 1, you will be looking at the Custer County Chronicle and Hill City Prevailer News that somewhat resemble a miniature version of their former selves. If you think they look like the same size as the Rapid City Journal, you would be correct.
Due to the fact that we are the only weekly newspaper printed at the Journal still on the wider 29.5 inch web size, we will be conforming to the Journal's narrower page size. Don't be upset with us as we have put this off longer than you would ever imagine and we are not being forced to do it.
Please don't confuse us with the Journal. We will still be the same people putting out your local newspaper that you have come to look forward to receiving and reading. We will still be that old friend with a newer, polished look. We know it will take a little time to get used to, and, you can be sure it will for us also.
Several years ago, the Journal switched to the narrower (and now pretty much standard) 22-inch web, which means the page size is 11 inches wide and 22 inches high. Yes, our papers will look strange to you, and to us, for a short time, but we should both get used to it before too long. And please, don't tell us we look like the Rapid City Journal. We already know we will be the same size because we are printed on the same size newsprint as the Journal and on the same press that prints the Journal. We may be the same size, but we certainly won't look like the Journal.
Available only in the print version of the Custer County Chronicle. To subscribe, call 605-673-2217.

By now, regular readers of this page probably know I love my slow cooker. After a hectic day, there is nothing like coming home to a meal that is cooked and ready.
This little concoction is quick and simple to prepare. But boy, does it turn out a great, zany Spanish taste! Serve it with shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa and diced tomatoes, and it's even better.
The recipe calls for a good deal of rice, which will, of course, expand as it cooks and as the liquid reduces. I have a large slow cooker which easily accommodates a family-size meal like this. If your slow cooker is smaller, I suggest you reduce the amount of rice, salsa, chicken broth and diced tomatoes accordingly.
One of the main things to remember is slow cookers don't brown food. So if I am cooking chicken, I always sear the meat first in a skillet to give it some color and a more appetizing appearance before moving it to the slow cooker for more thorough cooking. Also, I always season my chicken with some poultry seasoning while in the skillet.
After that, it really gets easy. Simply mix up the rice, chicken broth, salsa, diced tomatoes (I prefer petite diced) and chopped onion. Then add the browned chicken, and you are ready to go.
Put on the lid and forget it.
Fact Box
Slow-cooked Chicken and Rice Fiesta
3 cups uncooked long grain rice
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 cup medium or hot salsa
1 medium onion, chopped
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
olive oil
shredded cheese
sour cream
Spray inside of slow cooker with cooking spray.
Pour uncooked rice into slow cooker.
Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes, salsa and onions. Mix well.
In a large skillet, brown chicken in olive oil.
Place chicken in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours.
Top with shredded cheese and serve with sour cream and salsa.
But don't forget that slow cookers cook by building up heat inside the closed unit. Make sure your lid fits properly, and don't be tempted to lift the lid to check on the meal before it is complete. Every time you lift the lid, it takes 20 to 30 minutes for the unit to return to the original cooking temperature.
I serve the dish with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa and diced tomatoes.
It's fiesta time!

Here are five area basketball games to watch:
Zeeland East (10-1, 2-0) at Muskegon (7-4, 2-0)
Tipoff: 6 p.m. Friday.
What to watch: This one is for first place in the OK Black race. The Big Reds have won four in a row and have topped 70 points in their past three games. Junior Deshaun Thrower is coming off a 27-point performance and sophomore Deyonta Davis has posted back-to-back games of double figures in rebounds for Muskegon. Zeeland East limited Mona Shores to six points in the first half in a 52-35 win last week. Zeeland East's lone loss was to undefeated East Kentwood.
Prediction: Muskegon 66, Zeeland East 57
Reeths-Puffer (3-6, 0-2) at Mona Shores (5-4, 1-1)
Tipoff: 6 p.m. Friday
What to watch: This cross-county rivalry is usually a good matchup, although the Rockets have been reeling of late, losing five in a row. Mona Shores split a pair of games last week and 7-foot center Adam Rayner posted a career-high 19 points in an 82-59 win against Kenowa Hills.
Prediction: Mona Shores 65, Reeths-Puffer 59
Shelby (8-4, 6-2) at Montague (9-1, 6-1)
Tipoff: 7 p.m. Friday
What to watch: This rematch hasn't lost its luster after Shelby's defeat Tuesday to Mason County Central that knocked the Tigers out of a share of first place in the West Michigan Conference with Montague and Oakridge. Shelby won the first meeting 73-67 on Dec. 11 when the Wildcats saw a seven-point lead slip away in the fourth quarter. Seniors Chase Casebolt and Brandon Moore are double-figure scorers for Montague while cousins Jason and Andrew Beckman are leaders for Shelby.
Prediction: Montague 65, Shelby 60
Western Michigan Christian (9-3) at Kent City (11-1)
Tipoff: 7:30 p.m. Friday
What to watch: This one pits conference leaders from the River Valley and OK Silver and serves as the MLive.com Game of the Week. The Warriors are coming off a big win against Muskegon Catholic Central and have had the week off to prepare for the Eagles. Inside players Rachel Bruinsma and Vanessa Eekhoff are the leading scorers for WMC. Aleah Holcomb, Brandi Boehm and Justine Wolter are the top scorers for balanced Kent City, which is ranked No. 7 in Class C and set a single-game state record earlier this season with 23 3-pointers.
Prediction: Kent City 49, Western Michigan Christian 44
Reeths-Puffer (9-2, 2-0) at Mona Shores (5-5, 2-0)
Tipoff: 7:30 p.m. Friday
What to watch: Both teams have been on a roll with R-P riding a six-game win streak while Mona Shores has won five of its past six. The winner can at worst keep a share of first place in the OK Black, depending how Muskegon fares. Kalisa Williams is the top scorer for Reeths-Puffer while Mona Shores counters with Jasmyn Walker. Sophomore Jena'a Matthews also gave the Sailors a spark with eight points in her varsity debut last week.
Prediction: Mona Shores 55, Reeths-Puffer 48
Other games
North Muskegon 45, Montague 38
Shelby 55, Mason County Central 41
White Cloud 57, Hesperia 35
Newaygo 47, Holton 33

How many fighters has NSAC caught "BEFORE" the fight?
This is an honest question.
I've heard of NSAC catching fighters for having banned substances in their system after they've already had their way with their opponents. Of course the KO/TKO/UD victory will be changed to No Contest. But what good is that really doing?
What's the point of taking punishment from someone who has illegal substances in their blood, only for the fight to be overturned after the damage has already been done?
There's a whole list of fighters in MMA and boxing that weren't caught until "after" the fight. This is a problem
I can understand why a fighter would want to make sure a fighter is 100% clean before they lace em up. NSAC's sole purpose is to protect the fighters. You can't protect someone by catching the crook after the crime's already taken place.
I'm not sure how many people USADA has caught "before" the fight, but I can't help but to think that when athletes know testing will be full force, I would think they stop taking the illegal supplements in fear of getting caught. Maybe this explains why USADA doesn't have the greatest track record of catching athletes before the fight, because the athletes aren't doing anything illegal because they know they can't beat the system. That's my opinion of course.
Also, due to the expensive cost of year round OSDT, isn't it hard to implement this testing for the whole year?
In my opinion, even though Mayweather's version of OSDT isn't the real OSDT (according to Victor Conte), it's still better than the old fashion "catch a fighter after the fight" NSAC method.

Listen, I understand NSB has been overwhelmed with May-Pac drug testing threads, but I have yet to see a thread where someone attacks the problem in NSAC catching cheaters after the fight. This is a problem and I'm trying to address it here. I don't think it's been addressed before.

this is true. the whole point should be to catch someone BEFORE they kill someone. for instance this is the same as checking someones wraps/gloves for plaster only AFTER the fight. sure after a boxer dies you'd see that the other guy used plaster but what's the point at that point? The victim has already suffered his permanent injury. people need to be caught BEFORE the act not after

You know Russian, I think I've given you more credit than maybe you deserve.
Since speaking with you on various subjects, I've noticed a trend with you. You'd rather spend more time deterring topics than addressing the actual topic at hand.
Some people call it changing the subject and others call it smoke screens. Feel free to pick whichever one you like, but in my opinion, you're consistently great at doing both.
Anyway, to answer your question, since I've been on here, yes I've seen countless Mayweather-Pac drug related threads. I honestly have yet to see one that addresses NSAC's problem of catching cheaters after they've already cheated.
So I'm making a thread in an attempt to get clarification. What's the problem with that.
But if you would like to get technical, NSB thrives on creating the same threads over and over again, but with different words. The only difference is I see you chose to consistently give your answer's in different words in other threads, but when you come across a thread that has a significant gripe/complaint, you choose to focus on the "this thread is repetitive" excuse, instead of addressing it unbiasedly; especially if it's not in your fighters best interest to give an honest answer. You should check yourself man; just saying.

This topic has been beat to ****, this happened 3 years ago. Even worse is that it simply doesnt matter anymore
While you're at it why not make a thread about who you REALLY thought won Mayweather -Castillo, its just as original

Student shooting case on hold
The case against a 17-year-old boy accused of shooting another teen near Strong Vincent High School in April has been placed on hold while the teen and his family work to obtain a lawyer for him.
A hearing was scheduled Thursday before Erie County Judge John Garhart for teen Jakwaris Robison to have his case transferred from adult to Juvenile Court. Robison was charged as an adult after the April 8 shooting under the Fisher Bill, a state law that permits juveniles accused of violent crime to be charged as adults.
At Thursday's hearing, however, one of Robison's lawyers, Nicole Nino, told the judge she had just filed a motion for her and her partner, R. Blaine Jones II, of Pittsburgh, to withdraw from the case.
In the motion, the two lawyers said they have not been paid as required.
Garhart said he would grant the motion, but gave Robison and his family 10 days to oppose it.
If Jones and Nino withdraw from the case, Garhart told Robison he could apply to the Erie County Public Defender's Office for a lawyer. Jones previously filed a motion arguing that Robison should be tried as a juvenile.
He said Robison, who was 16 at the time of the shooting, has no prior offenses. Trying him as a juvenile would, among other things, allow Robison to "stay in school for preparation to become a productive member of society," Jones wrote.
Garhart put a stay on that motion Thursday until Robison obtains counsel.
District Attorney Jack Daneri has said his office plans to oppose Robison's transfer to Juvenile Court.
Robison is accused of shooting and injuring a 16-year-old boy once in the stomach and once in the leg at West Eighth and Cranberry streets shortly after school let out on April 8.
He faces charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, carrying a firearm without a license, illegally possessing a weapon and reckless endangerment.

Our View: Help an Erie child go to preschool
Erie's high poverty rate is more than a statistical calculation from the U.S. Census Bureau. When we cite Census Bureau figures that show 28 percent of city of Erie residents and 47.3 percent of city of Erie children live in poverty, we're talking about real people and their kids.
Fortunately, many community leaders and volunteers have made a commitment to reverse this trend and to help Erie residents become self-sufficient. One such initiative, to expand early childhood education by providing scholarships for disadvantaged children, is proving its worth.
The Erie Future Fund, launched in February 2012, has already provided scholarships for 230 low-income children to attend prekindergarten programs. The Future Fund plans to expand scholarship aid to serve 285 children for the 2013-14 school year. The United Way of Erie County committed $200,000 and the Erie Community Foundation has pledged $100,000 for the Future Fund for the current school year and for 2013-14. The scholarship program also has the strong backing of businesses, because there is compelling evidence that quality early childhood education helps children to succeed academically and to develop social skills necessary to make the right choices later in life.
Children who don't have access to quality preschool programs lag in vocabulary, for instance. "They start school with an 18-month disadvantage, and the gap widens instead of narrowing as they move into first and second grades," Marlene Mosco, regional president of PNC Financial Services Group, wrote in an April 26 Guest Voice column. "By the time they are in third and fourth grades, they often can't do math or read at grade level. Bridging this gap is more difficult and expensive once it is created."
You don't just have to take Mosco's word. Consider the examples that reporter Gerry Weiss found for his April 28 story on the Future Fund, just before the organizations involved in the fund reported on the program's first year on Thursday.
Weiss reported on mothers of scholarship recipients who were impressed with the skills their children were mastering because they now had the financial resources to go to preschool.
Michelle Harkins, scholarship director, meets with families to see if children qualify for a $2,100 scholarship. In her work, she has met single parents who work but cannot afford to pay for preschool on their salaries.
One woman met with Harkins when she was on break from her job as a machinist. The woman told her that her 5-year-old had developmental delays when he began kindergarten. Her 3-year-old was awarded a scholarship so she wouldn't have that type of challenge.
The Future Fund actively seeks out businesses to contribute through the Pre-K Education Improvement Tax Credit. Individuals can also give. To learn more, call the Erie Community Foundation at 454-0843 or visit www.eriecommunityfoundation.org.

Another 8th Grader Gets a College Scholarship Offer
June 10, 2013
Well, to be totally correct, Nathan Tilford just finished his eighth grade year and will be a high school freshman in Upland, California, in the fall. That didn't stop USC from recently offering the 6-foot-2, 190-pounder receiver a college scholarship to play football at 'SC after he graduates high school … in 2017.
From ESPN and WeAreSC.com:
USC has been more aggressive in recruiting underclassmen this spring, extending offers to seven local 2015 prospects, including elite defensive back Iman Marshall (Long Beach, Calif./Poly) and 2016 receiver Brandon Burton (Gardena, Calif./Serra).
Tilford isn't the first player in his class to receive an offer — Dylan Moses (Baton Rouge, La./University Lab) already has offers from Alabama, LSU, Texas and others — but it is the first time USC has gone into the 2017 class.

Some of you may have been there before.
Some of you may be there now.
Some of you hope to never be there.
It's the place when hard financial times hit. They may come from an un-expected catastrophe or maybe from job loss. These situations can empty your savings before you know it and leave you questioning the future… questioning everything.
So how do you respond?
How do you prepare for these times?
My grandmother grew up in the depression, she knew hard times. Many of us would roll our eyes or give her a hard time with good humor as she continued to live the rest of her life as if she was still in the depression.
She will use and re-use… and often re-use everything!
If she uses a paper towel to wipe up some water, she'd lay it out to dry because she can re-use it. Aluminum foil last her a looooong time! And one tea bag will get through a whole day!
She would save anything and everything… because you never know when you may need it.
And she would never pay for anything that she could do for herself. And if she couldn't do it, she'd just just do without it most of the time.
She could take a bone and a few scraps of veggies and make the best tasting soup.
How she lives and how we live is such a contrast. We are such a foolish and wasteful generation and I fear that we will come full circle due to our complacency and pride.
None of us can be totally financially secure. You can have lots of safety-nets, but none of them are foolproof. All of them can be pulled out from underneath you in a short amount of time.
I'm NOT saying we should live in fear, but I am saying is:
- Our trust is in the Lord, not in our bank accounts and degrees. EVERY thing that happens to us is for our good, even when it does not feel good.
- We have a responsibility to be skilled. We need to know how to do things. We need to be able to work with our hands.
- We need to know how to truly be resourceful. Stewardship is a huge part of a person's character.
- We need to be content with a more simple life. Consider how much time and money is wasted on things that are not really needed.
How to be More Skilled
Tackle 2 or 3 Skills a Year
- Learn how to cut hair.
- Cook from scratch. (Video tips here.) Get serious about grocery budgeting! Make all your own cakes rather than buy them.
- Learn to grow a garden. This takes years to learn, just start out with one or two things a year. Research what grows well in your area.
- Basic sewing skills. Start now and you can make a quilted throw for every family member from scraps for next Christmas.
- Learn to preserve food when you grow it or buy it at a great price.
- Plant fruit trees or berry bushes and learn to take good acre of them. This is free food for the future.
- Winterize your home.
- Learn to hunt and dress your game.
- Raise chickens or rabbits.
- Learn to buy things such as lumber at a reduced prices to used for repairs or to build things to sell.
- Change your own oil in your car.
- Learn to barter.
There are so many things we could learn to reduce our spending and dependence on the monetary economy.

Walter Brown, 36, of 120 Gifford St., was charged today with felony robbery. He was on parole for a 2004 bank robbery, said Syracuse Police Sgt. Tom Connellan.
The sergeant said police received multiple calls on photos given to the news media that were taken in the bank of the robbery suspect dressed in a brightly colored coat, red pants and a white mask. The suspect passed a threatening note to a teller and took off with the money.
The suspect ran out of the bank, going next door to the Onondaga County Public Library in the Galleries of Syracuse. On the third floor of the library, he changed out of the flashy clothes and into blue jeans, a white shirt and a light blue hooded sweatshirt with the words "West Side Spirit" on the back.

BEFORE WRITING A WORD OF Scimitar, his 1992 thriller about a crafty assassin who plots to kill President George Bush with a deadly nerve gas called sarin, best-selling author Evan Hunter, known primarily for his mysteries under the pen name Ed McBain, worried about the potential danger of revealing in his novel the gas's lethal ingredients. "I found the real formula for sarin," says Hunter, sitting in his cluttered Norwalk, Conn., office. "What I needed for the plot, however, was a formula that seemed real but was fake, so I made one up. My concern was that some jackass reading the book would accidentally kill himself trying to make the stuff."
Last Monday, when terrorists released containers of liquid sarin on three Tokyo subway lines, Hunter was surprised to find his novel—a critical success but a commercial failure in the U.S.—in the news. Ten people died and more than 5,000 commuters were injured in the attack, and some reports raised the possibility that Scimitar had inspired a fiendish copycat.
"I doubt it," says the 68-year-old author about the novel, his first thriller and only book under the pseudonym John Abbott. "Violent people are violent without getting ideas from books. But if these people are terrorists, then they know how to do this already. They don't need info from me."
Not only can the formula for sarin, as Hunter notes, "be found in any number of books," the ingredients themselves are frighteningly easy to obtain. Researching Scimitar, he says, "I called one chemical company and ordered the components. They asked what we were going to use it for, and my secretary, who was making the call, said, 'I don't know, I'm new here. They do all sorts of experiments.' And they said, 'Fine, how do you want it? Fed Ex?' I couldn't believe it. It came in an ampule in a package with a small label that said Hazardous Material."
Concerned, Hunter called a scientist friend at Yale and asked how to dispose of the chemical. "Just flush it down the toilet?" Hunter inquired. The friend was aghast. "He yelled, 'No! It might contaminate the sewage system,' " Hunter recalls. "He brought it to a toxic waste unit, but he was very nervous driving around with that chemical in his car."
Another reason Hunter thinks Scimitar didn't inspire the Tokyo subway poisoning is that this was the second such incident in Japan. Last June, seven victims died after sarin was released, from a still unknown source, in Matsumoto, a mountain town west of the city. Hunter calls that release "probably a dress rehearsal for the subway attack."
The news of the subway attack reached Hunter at an otherwise upbeat moment. Last week the NBC movie, Ed McBain's 87th Precinct—based on his nom de plume's 87th Precinct novel Lightning—finished first in its Sunday night time slot. It was a bittersweet victory. "I'll be candid," he says. "I thought the first installment of the series was soft. These guys weren't acting like cops. The police procedure wasn't there."
Navigating between print and screen isn't new to Hunter. He followed his first big literary triumph, 1954's The Blackboard Jungle—a gritty novel about a New York City public school teacher's struggle to reach his class of street-tough kids—with a prodigious body of work, more than 100 novels in all. In 1962 he teamed with director Alfred Hitchcock to write the screenplay for The Birds. Recently Tom Cruise bought the rights to his novel Criminal Conversation, and Ed McBain's newest mystery, Romance, is now in stores.
These days, Hunter says, he writes at least a book a year (he used to regularly crank out two or three a year as a younger writer). "Evan is frightening," says his second wife, Mary Vann Hunter, 57, a novelist he married in 1973. (He has three grown sons from a first marriage which ended in divorce.) "He never agonizes or bangs his head when he's writing. He just sits there and turns out the stuff, and he writes wonderfully all the time. I think he's a bit crazy, but it's a psychosis well channeled."
No writer who makes a living describing methods of murder and mayhem can live entirely without second thoughts. Hunter, for one, has drawn a line he says he will not cross. "I've had an idea for a mystery novel for a long time that I haven't written because I know it works and I know the killer would get away with it," he says. "I'll never write it for that reason." He pauses. "I am sorry that all these people died in Japan, but I didn't kill them; terrorists did. If it did turn out that they got the idea for sarin from my book, I would be enormously regretful. I would be very, very sorry. I wouldn't know how to deal with that. It would stop me dead in my tracks."
