God bless !Yes, this teaching was rejected.In CHRST
I'm sorry, but I do not agree with that metaphorical interpretation of the text.
Hello,Other than an uber explicit scriptural verse that says "Mary was a virgin always, before, during, and after the birth of Jesus!", what other source of authority could we appeal to that you would listen to?
Cleopas, admittedly I haven't all of this but consider 2nd Samuel 6:23; would you suppose Michal had children after her death? It only indicates up to a certain point with no implications about afterwards.
The word "joined" just means they were then married rather than simply betrothed. It does not mean a physical joining. St. Demitrius the Vinedresser (12th Pope of Alexandria from memory if somebody can confirm please?) and his wife were joined in wedded union and yet both ever virgin.
Haven't time to reply more but have been discussing this one with an ex-SDA of your leaning who has stopped talking on this and went onto something else after I pointed out that it was up to him to show that St. Mary did not remain a virgin rather than for us to show that she did. We said nothing changed so if you want to say something changed then prove it please
The Church teaches St. Mary remained a virgin through birth! Have heard how the maids testified to this also.
As for the wedded state. I agree. They were married when they covenanted as man and wife (which in their culture was at the initiation of the espousal period).I find it hard to believe that Mary remained a virgin though technically the wife of Joseph. It is possible, but not probable that a wife would do so. In fact, except the husband were unable to be sexually active it would be a wife's biblical duty to be available to her husband (and likewise for the husband to the wife).Again, I will admit possibility. Though I seriously doubt probability.To the best of my understanding the Scripture does not agree with the Church here. Christ was born a real, mortal man, just like everyone else. If he wasn't then it casts doubt and suspicion over the reality of his being fully human.The Scripture says that in the fall woman would experience pain and sorrow in childbirth. Mary was mortal, like all of us. A daughter of Adam. There is no cause to believe she was shown respect of persons and given a free pass by a miraculous delivery.
" Before she that travailed brought forth, before the travail-pain came on, she escaped it and brought forth a male" (Is. 66:7)
9. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
8. Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
Okay. Well then I am sure you will also agree with the implications of verse 9 of the same chapter.Once the birth channel is opened (read hymen is torn, gone) does God put it back? Fortunately for both of us, verse 8 tells us that Mary is not the subject of the prophet. Rather Zion (national Israel) is.
God bless !I think the Scripture- with the explanation of the Fathers- is clear enough ! When you not accept Holy Scripture and the early Church Fathers, I also can't help you.In CHRIST
Hi Athanasios,I'm not sure. Of course, short of that, any source will not carry the same weight in my mind. But it could add perspective and insight.Sorry to be a source of frustration for you guys. We really are world's apart on some things aren't we?
Hello,That's just the point. Most Protestants I know will not hold anything to the same level as Scripture, which is usually coupled with their own (or their pastor's) interpretation. Even things that are quite explicit in Scriptures are done away with.
So it is clear we should not follow our private interpretation.
Hello,And we'd need a thread on whether Scripture is the only authoritative source of Divine Revelation.
I and others could quote hundreds of sources of the Church Fathers, Councils, exegesis - but if they are dismissed when they contradict your personal interpretation of Scriptures, where are we left?
Once the birth channel is opened (read hymen is torn, gone) does God put it back?
I can say my understanding of what you believe has been cleared up dramatically since starting this discussion.I find it hard to believe that Mary remained a virgin though technically the wife of Joseph. It is possible, but not probable that a wife would do so. In fact, except the husband were unable to be sexually active it would be a wife's biblical duty to be available to her husband (and likewise for the husband to the wife).
Again, I will admit possibility. Though I seriously doubt probability.
Please, I don't mean this offensively or as a criticism...I am very uncomfortable with discussing the hymen of the Theotokos and whether or not it was torn. We Orthodox would never discuss her virginity in such a graphic way. And personally, I hold to the belief that her ever-virginity means that she (and Joseph, since it obviously wasn't her own decision) chose celibacy. Thus, the state of her hymen is none of my business. Please, could we find another way to discuss this topic? We Orthodox do not think of her virginity this literally, so discussing such graphic and intimate details of the Most Pure and Holy Theotokos is unnecessary.
I would request the same, please !
& My apologies. I was actually trying to keep sensibilities to such in mind. That's why I have tried to use medical terminology where possible, without being overly technical. In my defense, it is your own sources that initiated biological discussion on this level. I assumed, because of that, such would be acceptable I used care.I do apologies for any offense it may have caused you. That was not my intent. Please forgive me.
Let me ask you - what is your problem with this doctrine? Is it that you think it contradicts Scriptures or that it doesn't seem logical to you?
Personally, I see the Orthodox views (and Catholic, for that matter) here as spinning the text in order to superimpose your tradition and perspective back onto the text -- as a source of authority and claim to continuity. To me, the idea is essentially contradictory to the plain reading of Scripture.
Cleopas,I really mean no offence by this, but I'd like to know whether it ever strikes you as odd that in the early history of Christianity, things like the Ever-Virginity of the Mother of God were accepted as Christian doctrine, yet your "non-denominational" (if that's possible) approach to Christianity raises theological questions which were answered in the earliest years of the Church and throughout the history of Christianity? I mean, even the Protestant Reformation never questioned the Ever-Virginity of the Mother of God. Even John Calvin in his commentary on matthew 1:25 writes: "Those words of Scripture do not mean that after His birth they cohabitated as man and wife..." (John Calvin NT Commentaries Vol. 3, p. 71). and in answer to the question of Christs "brethren", Calvin writes: "In the Hebrew manner relatives of any sort are called 'brethren'...It is therefore very ignorant to imagine that Mary had many sons because there are several mentions of Christ's brethren" (John Calvin NT Commentaries Vol. 3, p. 71)Do you think, therefore, that Christianity had it wrong for 1900 years, and suddenly, with the rise in American Evangelism the "truth" has somehow been discovered?Do questions such as these ever come to your mind?
Perhaps you didn't see my question to you earlier in the thread. I'll repeat it here for you:
Forgive me. I am rather "on my own" in these threads -- fending off questions from a plethora of on comers, singlehandedly!
*Cleopas ...slips into fantasies of super fora heroism.....*
Personally, since I find in the NT itself record of inroads being made into the life, belief, and practices of the primitive church.
Has there been an scholarly study on the authorship of the book that may link the writings or ideas to St. James himself?
I believe it dates to the mid second century, but if we're going to start judging books of scripture based on the time they were actually written and from that trying to surmise who the actual authors are, we may find more problems than we really want. Perhaps it's best to just accept the claims of authorship.
Helvidius' writings concering the perpetual virginity of the Theotokos appeared in around 383 AD, according to St. Jerome. St. Jerome would then write his treaties De perpetua Virginitate B. Mariae; adversus Helvidium to refute Helvidius.
Just a quick side-note question for GreekChef. Do you cook really good gyros? And what about pastries like baklava? On a serious note though, you began to touch on the Protoevangelium of James claiming it was left to us by St. James himself. What I understood about the Protoevangelium is that it was written probably by an anonymous Christian who wanted to share a third century view of the Virgin's story, and perhaps give some perspective on the Jewish Mishnah traditions being developed in the Syriac community. But no one is sure of the authorship whether it be St. James the Brother of the Lord, some Christian who holds an oral tradition of St. James, or someone who happened to pen the book with James to add some importance or significance to it.Has there been an scholarly study on the authorship of the book that may link the writings or ideas to St. James himself?Thank you.Mina
Doesn't tradition say that Joseph was elderly? I would think Jospeh wouldn't have expected that sexual relations would be part of the marriage.
I do like to cook gyros and baklava...
Hello,How about Souvlaki?
And souvlaki...You know, it's really not nice to remind me of the things I love to cook and eat in the middle of the fast!!!!!!! Just kidding. Even though I don't eat them during the fast, I often still have to cook them for people who DO eat them...

Saad Al Fadhi, referee for the Kuwaiti Premier League, wasn't having any of it. When multiple players of Al Naser SC tried to attack him late in a game against perennial champion Al Arabi, he responded with his fists and his foot, and, of course, his most powerful weapon — lots of red cards.
The spontaneous bout began very late in the match. Al Naser was up 1-0 on its home pitch, when Al Fadhi awarded Al Arabi with a penalty in stoppage time. Then, all hell broke loose: Players shoving and pulling the official back and forth, the referee himself slapping one player in the face, only to follow it up with a high volley at the same player's thigh. Sideline officials helped by Al Naser goalie Mohammad Al Salal tried to separate the huddle — without much success.
More craziness ensued. After Al Arabi had scored the penalty, another Al Naser player kicked the ball at the ref's head. Four red cards were handed out in total, and even though the score at that point should have been 1-1, international soccer association FIFA's website shows an official result of 4-1 for Al Arabi. The website futbol24.com shows the same result, but denotes a time for each goal scored by Al Arabi, though there is no note of who might have scored them. While we don't know how everything went down, one thing is sure: Thursday, Kuwait soccer made for an entertaining video. Although the most interesting part was the kickboxing.

The Neosho Wildcats had a chance to sweep their third tournament of the season on Saturday.
The Neosho Wildcats had a chance to sweep their third tournament of the season on Saturday.
After a 5-4 victory over Stuttgart (Ark.) on Friday, the Wildcats got past West Plains 7-5 in the semifinals before falling to Harrison in the championship game.
The Wildcats (7-2) started their run with a walk-off victory over Stuttgart.
Leading 1-0 in the fifth, the Wildcats watched as Stuttgart plated four runs in the top of the inning to take a 4-1 lead. It would remain that way until the seventh, however, when the Wildcats would put up four of their own, winning it on a walk-off single by Chris Paullus in the seventh.
The hit was Paullus' only one of the game, as five other Wildcats had one hit each: Trey Turner, Brendan Craig, Tyler Johnson, Jayce Parmley and Kody Kelly. Trey Turner started on the mound for the Wildcats, but was saddled with a no-decision after striking out seven and allowing four runs on two hits in 42/3 innings. Lane Brodie picked up the win in relief with two strikeouts and no runs in 21/3.
Stats for the West Plains and Harrison games were not available at press time.

It's safe to say Cortez is heavily invested in the new high school. Thousands of voters cast ballots for it last fall, hundreds lobbied for it, and countless others threw their goodwill behind the effort.
Those looking to contribute financially will soon have the chance, too.
Montezuma-Cortez School District Re-1 has announced that $1.89 million worth of general obligation bonds will soon be put up for sale and is encouraging local residents to take part.
"This project is for the community. If they want an opportunity to invest in it, they can," said chief financial officer Melissa Brunner.
The bonds are sold in increments of $5,000, with interest rates ranging from 1 to 3 percent annually over a 20-year maturation period. All purchases are exempt from state and federal taxes.
The bonds will be available from 8-10:30 a.m. on Feb. 6. Interested parties can contact Dan O'Connell, director of RBC Capital Markets in Denver, at 303-595-1222 the day prior to be forwarded to a salesperson.
O'Connell said local orders are given preference over non-local orders as long as they are at a comparable interest rate.
O'Connell described the bonds as a safe, if unspectacular, investment. With negligible risk, the repaid principal and interest are a virtual guarantee, even if they won't make an investor rich.
The state of Colorado's school bond program has a AA- credit rating from rating agency Standard & Poor's.
"It's called a state intercept rating. It means if the school was unable to pay the bonds back for some reason, the state would step in and make those payments on its behalf as a loan. The bondholders would still be made whole," O'Connell said.
The new M-CHS building will cost $42 million, of which Re-1 will pay just under half. Matching funds come from the state via a CDE Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) grant.
The lion's share of M-CHS bonds were packaged with other major infrastructure projects and sold to big investors in November. This $1.89 million is separate because it is earmarked for athletic fields, an expense not covered by the BEST grant. The district plans to build all athletic facilities adjacent to the new high school on the 35-acre site south of Walmart.
O'Connell and Brunner both touted the economic and intangible benefits of locals holding some of the bonds.
"If a local person buys $10,000 worth of bonds and earns interest on it, they may spend it locally, so it's recycling back into the community as opposed to going to someone in New York," O'Connell said.

NEW YORK (AP) — At about 10, Hershey Felder had to make a decision that would change his life: Pick acting or pick the piano. He chose to tickle the ivories.
"You can't fake this," the genial Canadian-born performer explains, seated at a piano onstage at the venerated Times Square concert venue The Town Hall. "No one is born a great actor."
But, the truth is, Felder never really gave up being a ham. He just combined his virtuoso playing with an ability to dive into a character to create something only he could do.
What do get when you blend an accomplished pianist and an actor? Simple — one-man shows about such composers as George Gershwin, Frederic Chopin and Ludwig van Beethoven. Irving Berlin is next.
"Combining the two had been a lifelong lesson and I'll still be learning until I die," he said. "If I've learned anything over these years — it's been now 25 years I've been doing this — is that there's no shortcut."
Felder, 46, is back in New York on Thursday for a special performance of "Maestro Bernstein," his portrayal of the pianist, composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein who was behind such masterpieces as "West Side Story" and his own "Mass."
Using projections and a piano to recreate key musical phrases, Felder traces Bernstein's rise from prodigy to celebrated composer while not shying away from the musical giant's complicated personal life.
Felder has created a fan from no less than Alexander Bernstein, Leonard Bernstein's second child. The younger Bernstein said he was initially apprehensive about seeing the show but was quickly won over by Felder's skill.
"He gets him on a deep level but doesn't try to act like him or talk like him," said Bernstein. "A full picture is fine with me as long as it's honest and not salacious."
Felder may have specialized in portraying past musical giants, but he's not interested in being too reverential. For the Chopin work, his first line to the audience is: "I trust that each of you has come prepared with something to play, yes?"
"We're not a mothball company. You don't go in and it has that smell, 'Oh, it feels like a museum,'" he said. "It's the idea of making them real people."
It is work that Felder is passionate about even if it isn't the easiest way to make a living. Trevor Hay, the associate director, has seen what the one-man shows do to Felder for the past six years.
"He makes it looks so easy on stage that when I first saw him I thought, 'Well, he's an incredible pianist and he's pretty good with a crowd.' Then I realized there's so much more craft going on," Hay said.
"I think that's the mark of brilliant acting: when it doesn't look like acting. It's just smooth and effortless. And then he's backstage and he's exhausted because it isn't effortless."
While "Maestro Bernstein," has played Los Angeles' Geffen Playhouse, the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Chicago's Royal George Theatre and the Cleveland Play House, it's never played The Town Hall before.
That's notable because the New York venue has a special place in Bernstein's lore. On Nov. 13, 1943, it was where he premiered his children song cycle "I Hate Music," the first time a paying crowd listened to one of his compositions.
The next day, the then-25-year-old got the call to conduct the New York Philharmonic when a guest conductor was ill. Bernstein's debut was so good he made the front page of The New York Times the next morning.
So Felder's first time performing on The Town Hall stage will be the same place where Bernstein had a pivotal moment. "It'll be fun," he says, slapping the wood beams.

It's not rational. I guess no "hate" really is, but it's especially discouraging to see it in this context.
You can complain all you want, you can sue all you want, you can put the perps in jail all you want but the little guy on the street that did everything correctly and honestly is still going to take it in the shorts for a long time to come. The only POS that will benefit from all this are the blood sucking lawyers. The honest hard working guy that palyed by the rules will still be out tens of thousands of dollars in lost equity on their homes that are now worth nothing and yet they continue to make their mortagage payments becasue they pledged their honor to faithfully repay the the loan they took out to finance the American Dream! Hey RS why don't you do a story on the ambulance chasing scum bag lawyers that will be racking in the TENS of MILLIONS of dollars from all the law suits generated by this fiasco and how NONE of it will make it down to the people who actually lost something.
It seems to me that "Slim's" vitriol would be better directed at bankers and regulators and politicians. Worse, a re-invigorated and independent legal profession and lawsuits – lots and lots of lawsuits – are probably the only real solution to this whole financial crisis thing, which is of course in reality a rule of law crisis. But the prevalence of undifferentiated hatred for lawyers typified by Slim's comment bespeaks the unlikelihood of anything like that coming to pass: after all, people like Slim sit on juries.
The need for independent lawyering has never been greater, and much of it could be directed at Wall Street. There's irony aplenty in that, of course, since we have a lot of unemployed or underemployed lawyers looking for something to do. Matching needs with providers is supposed to be a strength of the "free market", so it appears ours must be faltering. At least when it comes to the legal profession.
It's a chicken and egg problem too, to some extent: it's not as if you can just file pleadings and then argue before a judge who is even handed. Decades of unapologetic favoritism toward government, bank and insurance company have taken their toll. Complaints of the have-nots against the haves are at this point not simply dismissed but greeted with derision and scorn.
Slim could be a Manhattan federal judge for all I know. I wouldn't be shocked if that were true.

Smyrna resident Brooks Banta has spent the last 16 years as a commissioner on Kent County Levy Court and he's going to continue doing so for another four years as he's running unopposed for Levy Court District 1 in the Tuesday, Nov. 6 General Election.
Banta, who currently sits as president of the commission, is running for re-election because of his love of working for the people.
"Levy Court provides a great opportunity for public service in that you're very close to the people you serve," Banta said.
On a daily basis Banta receives numerous calls and emails from residents of Kent County. He always answers the call and then works to find a solution, if he doesn't…he'll put the resident in contact with someone who knows the answer.
"It's important, of course Delaware being so small, that you're able to network with people who can get a resolution for people for most any problem they may have," he said.
And it doesn't hurt that Banta said the county has great public safety officials, paramedics, and public works employees on top of a great team of commissioners and county administrator for him to work with. All of this combined led Banta to his decision to run for a fifth term.
Fiscal responsibility
When talking about Kent County, Banta is sure to mention Levy Court's ability to save money in a tight economy, which the commissioners did by reducing a budget of about $26 million in 2005-2006 to roughly $20 million in 2008-2009. The budget has increased the last few years as the economy strengthened, but Banta previously said this year's $22 million budget is $500,000 less than last year's.
To save money, Levy Court has reduced the number of employees — mainly through early retirement, required county vehicles to be returned at night, every other light in the building is kept off to conserve energy, and employees have been cross-trained.
Working towards the future
While finding ways to cut back, Banta has several items to continue working on in the future. His goals include the proposed county sports complex in Frederica, funds for volunteer fire companies, approval to handle more wastewater, keeping expenses in check, and the Air Cargo Ramp near the Dover Air Force Base.
Funds for volunteer fire companies is particularly important to Banta as he feels residents, especially new people in the area, don't fully understand that the fire departments are volunteer-run. Banta said new residents assume the fire companies are paid for through their $145 tax bill, which they are not.
Jump-starting the economy
As a way to improve the economy in Kent County, Levy Court hired a full-time economic director — James Waddington — last year.
Banta said having this position is two-fold for the county, as it helps to bring businesses to Kent County and works to keep the businesses that are already here.
"One of the goals is to retain the current business that we do have," Banta said. "It's great to have new business, but it's great for retention of the businesses that we do have."
To do this, Banta said Waddington is working diligently to do just that by providing incentives when possible.
Running unopposed
Just because no one is running against Banta doesn't mean he hasn't hit the campaign trail. He's put up signs throughout the county and has been knocking on doors to talk with residents about their concerns.
"I think it's important to do that because people need to know that I really care," Banta said. "If I didn't put up the signs, if I didn't knock on the doors and make phone calls, they'd say 'This guy must just take it for granted.' And I don't. I appreciate the fact that people respect the job I do."

Most dog owners have been given advice from well-meaning friends when training becomes difficult:
If your dog poops in the house, rub her nose in it. That will teach her!
If your dog wont come when called, go get her and smack the daylights out of her.
From a human point of view, this sort of advice might make some sense, but dogs are not humans. The use of force can confuse a species that learns best when cause and effect are closely related.
Using harsh methods will motivate your dog, but the motivation is out of fear. A dog under harsh training will be afraid to use her natural good sense for fear of being hurt for failing.
Motivation and initiative are powerful instincts that can be nurtured when you train a dog right or ruined when you use too much force.
The beauty of positive reinforcement is that it encourages your dog to use her innate intelligence and independent initiative. Your dog will not be afraid to fail while trying to work with you.
This ability to think independently is crucial when training complex commands such as the stay-sit or in taking commands from a trainer who is out of sight. Both of these commands demand that the dog be able to think through what is expected of her in order to comply in a nontraditional manner.
In the real world, the ability to manage complex decisions can have life or death consequences. While on a hike a few years back, my dog Buster and I ran across a stray dog that was acting strangely. I quickly called Buster to come and turned to go the other way. I was angered briefly when I saw that he had not complied, but that anger quickly turned to gratitude when I looked back to see what was going on.
Buster was firmly planted between me and the stray, which now was crouched and growling. Had Buster mindlessly come when I called him, I surely would have been bitten. A well-trained dog should be obedient yet able to think independently.
Your training can encourage this capacity for independent thought. If you catch your dog doing something right without the need of a command, reward her. You have just reinforced her for good independent thought. As Martha Stewart would say, Thats a good thing. You cant force a dog to want to please you. You can, however, nurture that natural willingness into a full-blown partnership. Always reward her (within two seconds) for the right behaviors, and do not confuse her by rewarding for the wrong behaviors.
While building that motivated, independent thinker, dont be afraid to let her work through things on her own. Learning takes place best when your dog is given the chance to make the decision to obey on her own. If you have asked your dog to stay, give her the opportunity to succeed or fail without constant repetition of the command. Give her the command once and expect her to obey it. If she fails, correct her and give her another opportunity to learn the correct meaning of stay. Constant repetition just teaches your dog to ignore the first few commands.
The most important benefit of positive reinforcement is that it builds secure, confident and obedient companion dogs. This combined with your dogs natural intelligence is a winning formula.

Not quite a year after The Crossing Church's Hannibal congregation worshipped for the first time together in the Orpheum Theater, another major project is in the works.
Not quite a year after The Crossing Church's Hannibal congregation worshipped for the first time together in the Orpheum Theater, another major project is in the works. One of the Broadway properties the church purchased - 421-423 Broadway - will in the weeks ahead be brought down.
"They're two storefronts which are actually part of one building," said Randy Drish, campus pastor. "They're in bad shape so we're going to tear them all the way down. Eventually we're going to build in there, expanding our entry way area into the church and then we're going to expand our children's building."
There is just no cost-effective way to salvage the 421-423 Broadway building, according to Drish.
"We had a couple of work days where we went in with volunteers and started working on it. We quickly found that it just wasn't in very good shape. We're going to go ahead and take her down and start fresh," he said.
Ron Bricker, project coordinator with Bricker Excavating/Demolition which will handle the "deconstruction," agrees with Drish's assessment of the structure.
"There are holes in the floor. It's like walking across a trampoline inside. It's in very, very bad shape," said Bricker.
The building will be demolished slowly and carefully.
"The building is going to be brought down brick by brick and beam by beam; it's not a wrecking ball type thing," said Drish.
"You can't be a bull in china closet and go in and start knocking things down. If you do you'll do damage to everything else around there," said Bricker.
Bricker added that as the building deconstruction proceeds steps will be taken to protect the interior walls of the remaining buildings that will soon become exterior walls.
"As we take the building down they're going to be in there tuck pointing to preserve those," he said. "It will help save on costs by doing everything at one time."
No firm time line
A rigid time line for the deconstruction has not been set.
"We're church guys, not construction guys," laughed Drish. "We're just taking it step by step. That structure should be torn down in about five to six weeks."
When the new construction takes place, it will provide additional space to the church's entryway at 425 Broadway.
"Right now we're really good at having church; we have a wonderful auditorium. We just don't have a lot of standing room," said Drish. "Half that (new) building is going to go toward an entry area for the church and the other half is going to go toward the children's area. Both side buildings are going to get added space."
According to Drish, eventually the fronts of the two existing buildings at 417-419 and 425 Broadway, and the new structure at 421-423 Broadway, will be re-faced to appear as one structure.
Drish is hopeful the new construction will be completed by the end of the year.
"We're really looking forward to it," he said.
The Crossing began having services at the Orpheum on April 29, 2012.
"The church is growing every week and that's a testament to God moving in Hannibal," said Drish. "We're excited to have a front row seat just to watch him work."

More meeting rooms, more books, an indoor-outdoor garden the Lavenia McCoy Public Library is officially opening Sunday in Bayfield after closing for two months for the final stages of construction of a 4,000-square-foot expansion.
And while a familiar face probably will be on hand to celebrate with her community, she will be doing it as a regular resident rather than as library director.
Donnalee Baxstrom retired after 35 years as director at the beginning of February, but she has been on hand over the last few weeks helping to reshelve books and get the library ready for its grand reopening.
She fell into her work as a librarian somewhat accidentally. After earning a degree in education, Baxstrom agreed to fill in at the library for a librarian on maternity leave.
She never came back to the job, she said, so I stayed on.
The love of libraries is a family trait. The library is named in honor of Baxstroms mother, Lavenia McCoy, who served on its advisory board of trustees for decades.
McCoy remembers the librarys humble start.
We had two shelves with about 40 books when we started, she said. The lady who lived across the street had a monthly subscription, and when she finished reading the Book of the Month, she gave it to the library.
By the time her daughter took over in the 1970s, it had grown some.
When I started, we worked in a 1,200-square-foot building on Mill Street, Baxstrom said. That building now is the location of Mill Street Drug Inc.
In 1999, Baxstrom convinced the librarys board of trustees to go to the voters for a mill-levy override. Bayfields new 8,000-square-foot library opened in 2004.
Since then, the librarys meeting room has been booked solid by community organizations, and the librarys many programs, including Movie Night, programs for teens and a book club, have become quite popular, too.
It didnt take long for us to outgrow the building, Baxstrom said. With all of the growth in Bayfield, our library quickly felt full, and we knew we needed more people space.
The library advisory board has begun a search for a new librarian, who must have a Master of Library Science or Information Science and at least five years of experience, preferably in a public library.
In the meantime, the board found an interim director who knows the area and already has been through the new library shakedown.
Sherry Taber, who led the Durango Public Library through its new-building campaign and design as well as having been the director of the John F. Reed Library at Fort Lewis College, will take the reins until a new director is hired.
We have a home in Alaska, and I enjoy living there, Taber said, but I also missed the Durango area. When I was presented with this opportunity to work in Bayfield, I couldnt pass it up.
The board is delighted that Taber has agreed to step in as interim director.
Her experience with the Durango Public Librarys building project, in addition to her managerial skill, makes her a perfect fit as we wrap up our expansion project and prepare to reopen, said Valerie Borge, a library trustee. Its difficult to replace a long-term director; Donnalee Baxstrom contributed so much to bring our library to its present level, and Sherry Taber is the right person to help us take our next steps.
Taber said the search committees task isnt going to be an easy one, trying to fill the shoes of the woman who took the library from 1,200 square feet to 12,000 square feet and made it the heart of the Bayfield community.
Donnalees been here for over three decades, she said, and we know it will take a while to find the right replacement. How do you replace 35 years of experience?

modern English with post schism prayers I believe
Good luck getting a copy of it. I sent away for it in January and sent at least 3 emails to Fr. Aiden over a 2 month period with no reply to any of them. What a shame. In Christ,Andrew
Also, some Antiochian priests have told me that they use "Orthodox Prayers of Old England" for home devotions regularly. Here is a picture of the book, a copy of which sold on eBay not too long ago for over $300, although brand new copies are in stock for $40 (!). Fr.

I received mine today.
Fourth, the tri-bar cross is found in Western iconography of the 11th to 12th centuries. I can't think of particularly English examples, although there are German examples.
There are two main forms of the divine office in the Roman rite. The older one is called the "cathedral" or "secular" office, and was used by cathedrals, parishes, and some monasteries. Its ordering of psalms and basic components for the various hours is what is preserved in the Roman rite such as I've published in English in OPOE and elsewhere. The newer one (which is 6th century) is called the "Benedictine" or "monastic" office, and was used in monasteries of St. Benedict's Rule. Its ordering of psalms assigned to the various Hours is different. Both these types of divine office have been blessed for use in the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad's Western Rite Vicariate (RWRV).
Anglo-Saxon devotions are known to have been a mixture of (strictly) Roman, Gallican, Celtic, and some other Latin prayers. Anglo-Saxon prayer books are full of the above repertoire and that is what you get in Orthodox Prayers of Old England. You can get a copy by sending $44 to St. John Cassian Press, P.O. Box 10692, Austin, TX 78766. Be sure to include name and address. This is for domestic U.S. addresses. (About crosses with footrests, there is a clear miniature of this in a 12th century antiphonary from, I believe, Melk. It is a manuscript illumination showing Sts. Constantine and Helen holding up a cross between them. It is a strictly Roman rite liturgical book. It is unusual for the West, but certainly not unknown. In the same way, a circle connecting the four bars of the cross near their convergence, is unusual to find in Russian Orthodox arts, being something we usually associate with Celtic Christianity, but you do run across it in Russian arts occasionally.)
I ordered this book back on November 9th and I still haven't received it even though I've called and spoken to Fr Aidan a couple times as well as sending numerous PM's via this site as well as emails. I would like to just cancel this order and get my check back (has yet to be cashed) but I'm not optimistic given the track history and I don't want to disrespect Fr Aidain. Any ideas?

I would like to just cancel this order and get my check back (has yet to be cashed) but I'm not optimistic given the track history and I don't want to disrespect Fr Aidain. Any ideas?Have the same problem. Only Im only a little over a month into waiting. PO MO for me. Suddenly I dont feel as bad, as I see others are being treated as badly as I I have been bugging Father Aidan on a weekly basis. Calling or emailing. Doesnt seem to be working.... The only thing as legendary as the book and its quality is the ridiculous amount of hoops and waiting you have to do even after payment has been received to get it.
Sorry, y'all, but it took me three weeks to get enough time to make it across town to the post office to retrieve the mail with the orders. I am so overcommitted it's ridiculous. I have put in a request at my secular job for two weeks unpaid leave, just so as to be able to have time to deal with these things (unfortunately, people coming to confession, or instruction, or homeless people, or people needing food or baby formula, get first priority). It's crazy. For example, I go into my cell phone's voice mail and typically I will hear something like this: "Twenty-two unheard messages have exceeded their storage life, and have been deleted. You have eighteen new voice messages. To hear your messages, press 1." And I only have the time spent driving, to hear those messages and try to deal with two or three of them. I cringe and just hope that none of those 22 deleted, unheard messages were something important!I am not saying all this in order to garner sympathy, but to forestall anyone coming up with an idea like, "Fr. Aidan is just ignoring my order. Fr. Aidan must not care about my order. Fr. Aidan is treating me callously." For that is simply not the case. There are days when I get to eat, but have no time to bathe or sleep enough. Other days, I sleep well, then have no time to bathe or eat till maybe the evening. Other days, I bathe and it makes me late to commitments or to work. Some people also have got the idea that I just waste time on OC.net posting about all kinds of things. But 95% of the time, I am posting from work, where I have short breaks or sometimes have breaks in the workload, and I use this as a way to relax and blow off steam from hearing about child deaths and horrible sex abuse and babies submersed in boiling water and people who are suicidal and I'm trying to keep them alive till police can arrive, etc. OC.net is just a nice alternative to all that. Or I can attend to making my own discussion group successful (I've vanished off it for some four months now), or do something more than once every three weeks with Facebook, or something, but not more than one (maybe sometimes two) of the above. But it's not like I'm spending time I could spend on filling book orders, writing OC.net posts instead. That would be an incorrect assumption. I'm not justifying my awful customer service, but please try to walk a mile in my shoes. Full time job. Overtime. Church clear across town, always growing, lots of people needing this and that, the poor families, people losing their homes, people begging formula for their baby, no sort of help at all. Constant meetings and crazy streams of phone calls. Everybody living far away from the church, so not as easy to fill in or come over and help, although I guess there is a little help sometimes. And, in the end, everyone will get his books. Please be patient. Remember, I am trying to take a big pay cut here, just to do this work for you all. Just today I got an inquiry from a fellow clergyman. Noticing that I had almost completely vanished off my usual discussion group, he asked me, "Are you alive?" So, trust me, it's nothing personal.Whoever is willing to likewise cut his monthly salary in half, in order to help me in this publication work, will be rewarded by my ceasing such dramatic posts as this one... Any takers?
I do get a stipend from being the parish priest, but it's $200 a month for about 20-25 hours of work per week. Typical, for ROCOR... Our Bishop Peter was talking with a Greek Orthodox bishop friend, who asked what they paid him. Bp. Peter told him the amount. His friend was shocked and said he couldn't believe they only paid him that much per month. Bp. Peter said, no, that's not per month, that's per YEAR. Speaking of hard work, I don't think I can hold a candle to Bp. Peter or the Metropolitan...

Rachel Epp Buller, printmaker, art historian and Bethel College professor, says that workers – what today might be called "the 99 percent" – have long been a compelling subject for artists.
Epp Buller is the curator of a new temporary exhibit at the Wichita Art Museum through March 17, "Occupy Art: Protest and Empathy for the Worker."
Though the parlance of "occupy" and "the 99 percent" might be recent (the "Occupy Movement" was born just over a year ago on New York City's Wall Street), the fact of artists commenting on workers' struggles and successes is not.
"Occupy Art" consists of about 70 paintings, prints and sculptures from the museum's permanent collection, spanning a range of about 150 years.
At a conference earlier this year, Epp Buller spoke on research she had done in Berlin under a Fulbright Fellowship on Alice Lex, an artist from post-World War I Germany whom the Nazis censored for her political views.
After hearing Epp Buller's talk, Stephen Gleissner, current curator at WAM, asked her if she would be interested in organizing an exhibit from the museum's collection.
It includes several prints by Käthe Kollwitz, a German printer, painter and sculptor from the late 19th and first half of the 20th century, best known for how she depicted the condition of those who suffered from the results of poverty, hunger and war.
"Stephen Gleissner told me about the museum's Kollwitz prints, so I started thinking about how to craft an exhibition that would include those," Epp Buller says. She spent some time looking through the WAM collection, directly or through the museum's web database, including pieces in storage.
"Occupy Art" includes a number of works on paper that are often kept in storage and seldom seen by the public, Epp Buller says.
As she examined the collection, Epp Buller realized many of the works, including Kollwitz's, had themes and images related to workers and work.
"'Occupy' is not a contemporary idea," Epp Buller says. "There's a whole historical lineage of artists being interested in the working class."
While "Occupy Art" does not include any work from the current Occupy movement, Epp Buller will address that more in a curator's talk Jan. 24.
"I'll be showing images from the Occuprint portfolio, a gathering of prints and posters on Occupy themes put together as a fundraiser," Epp Buller says. In addition, "someone from Occupy Wichita got in touch with me and said there's some artwork related to the Wichita movement, so I hope to show some of that."
Epp Buller will be teaching a printmaking class in Bethel's January interterm and plans to take the class on a field trip to see the exhibit.
"We'll talk about some of the different printing techniques [that have] real-life examples," Epp Buller says, "and about how printmakers, especially, have a history of being involved in social and political issues, since prints are relatively inexpensive to produce and easy to disseminate widely."
The Wichita Art Museum, located at 1400 West Museum Blvd. in downtown Wichita, is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, noon-5 p.m. Admission is $7 adults; $5 seniors; and $3 students with ID and youth ages 5-17, except Saturdays, when there is no fee.
The Jan. 24 curator's talk (6 p.m. in the museum) is also free.
For more information, call 268-4921 or visit wichitaartmuseum.org.

Land Art Generator Initiative: Freshkills Park
Wednesday, August 21, 2013
9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
This event repeats every week on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between 6/27/2013 and 8/30/2013.
Please note: This event has already taken place. Please use the Search options on the right to find upcoming events.
The Land Art Generator Initiative: Freshkills Park is an exhibition of the top 25 designs selected out of 250 submissions from around the globe by artists, architects, designers, engineers, landscape architects, and more. LAGI 2012 was an ideas competition to design a site-specific public artwork that, in addition to its conceptual beauty, has the ability to harness energy cleanly from nature and convert it into electricity for the utility grid. At 2,200 acres, Freshkills Park will be almost three times the size of Central Park and the largest park developed in New York City in over 100 years. The transformation of what was formerly the world's largest landfill into a productive and beautiful cultural destination will make the park a symbol of renewal and an expression of how our society can restore balance to its landscape. The top three submissions not only heighten the beauty of the surrounding park land but also provide a gateway into a greater discussion about the preservation of the environment.

Stonington proposal targets dirt bikes, ATVs
Stonington - A town meeting will be held Tuesday night so residents can vote on a controversial nuisance ordinance that could dramatically limit the use of dirt bikes, ATVs, go-karts, snowmobiles, motorcycles and other recreational vehicles in many residential areas. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at the high school.
Residents will also vote to adopt a peddler ordinance, allow the town sell the old police boat through a competitive bid process, increase the Mystic Harbor Management Plan mooring fees from $10 to $50 and transfer a piece of land at Fellows Street and 45 Sisk Drive to the Stonington Housing Authority.
The proposed nuisance ordinance would require riders to stay at least 300 feet from the property line and at least 500 feet from all off-site residences unless they have permission from adjacent land owners to be closer. In many instances, that could drastically decrease the amount of land available for riding on each lot. The 300-foot setback requirement would make 90,000 square feet or two acres of a lot off limits for riders. Most residential lots in town are smaller than two acres.
In addition, anyone who builds a structure, course or obstacle such as mounds, depressions or berms for riding, would need to obtain a facility or event permit from the town and install sedimentation and erosion control measures. If four riders or more want to ride together, they, too, would need a permit.
The town developed the proposed ordinance in response to complaints from residents of a Mystic neighborhood who said last year they were being disturbed by a teenager who rides his dirt bike for long hours on his grandparents' two-acre Richmond Lane property. They pressed the town to enact regulations to curb the riding, which they charged hurt their quality of life and damaged property values.
Over the past year, town attorney Tom Londregan reviewed ordinances from other towns before crafting the proposed nuisance ordinance.
The proposed ordinance would ban recreational vehicles from using a town or state road to access land to ride on or to cross land without the landowner's written permission. Riders must carry that permission with them. They would not be allowed to operate on town land without town permission.
Riders would not be able to cause dirt, dust or debris to cross onto an adjoining property. Riders would not be able to operate within 50 feet of a stream or waterway, wetland, floodplain or sensitive erosion area.
The ordinance states that certain kinds of activities, "even though lawful, can create a nuisance if not conducted with restraint, common sense and a recognition of the need and desire for quiet enjoyment of property by others."
It adds that certain types of recreational vehicles are likely to adversely affect property values and threaten the health, safety and welfare of people in town. Because of this, the town must require a way "to protect residents from the most egregious nuisance activities while allowing customary residential, commercial, industrial and institutional operations to continue, grow and prosper."
Violators would be issued an infraction with a fine of $75. The town could also periodically adjust the fine.
Since 1997, the town has had a nuisance ordinance in effect that prohibits people from making any unreasonably loud and objectionable noise that can be heard inside a home before 6 a.m. and after 10 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and before 8 a.m. and after 10 p.m. on Sundays. Violations are punishable by a $100 fine. There are a number of commercial and public safety exemptions to the ordinance.

Headphone Shootout: The Best and Worst Celebrity Cans
The success of Dr. Dre's Beats sent up a signal flare that alerted the rest of the celebrigentsia - who've realized that there's no safe money in music anymore - that there was cash to be had in them thar 'phones. They've since had at it in a big way, with everyone from Justin Bieber to Quincy Jones to the estates of Miles Davis and Bob Marley slapping their names on hardware.
But are any of these headphones any good? We set out to figure out which - if any - of these celebs deserve your hard-earned dollars. We called in a team of expert listeners to pick 'em apart, and then put each headphone through some rigorous lab testing to figure out what was really going on underneath those fancy designs.
We gathered seven of the latest artist-approved models. As the pseudo-progenitors of the breed, we brought in two examples from Beats, namely the top-of-the-line Beats Pro and the Justin Bieber-endorsed JustBeats Solo. Tangentially related to these (they're also built by Monster Cable) are the in-ear Miles Davis Trumpets. Quincy Jones added some class to the table, with the Q 701, part of his Signature Line from AKG. Jay-Z's Roc Nation paired with Skullcandy for the Aviator, while Ludacris's Soul brand was represented by the SL300WB noise cancelling headphones. Miles wasn't the only formerly living artist on our list, joined as he was by the House of Marley Freedom Collection's Exodus.
Fellow tech editor Brent Butterworth (who setup the hardware and did all the measurements) and I got to work.
"What is a Bieber?" he asked. As is usually the case, I wasn't entirely sure if he was joking.
"A haircut," I replied.
We were clearly off to a good start. But I figured our lack of interest in most of the artists represented here had little relevance to our goal. After all, it doesn't matter to us what the branding is - we're interested in the sound quality. We took a two-pronged approach, with Brent measuring the frequency response and sound isolating capabilities of all the headphones (more on that later in this article), and - given how deftly versed in popular music we are - we figured it'd be best to convene a listening panel, so we brought in a couple of other experts to help us pick the best of this bunch. Lauren Dragan is a professional voice actress and singer. She also has a history in radio and has a fantastic ear, being an occasional audio reviewer herself. Will Huff is a LA-based jazz musician with a finely tuned ear and while new to the headphone faceoff game, his responses show he has a knack for it.
The members of our listening panel individually ranked the headphones from best to worst, then we collected and tabulated everyone's votes to come up with our list of overall winners and losers.
Did the data back us up? Yes and no.
First off, the charts in this article may look a little strange if you're used to seeing frequency response graphs for speaker systems (If all frequency response graphs look strange to you, check out Brent's informative post on the subject). In short, while a speaker with a flat frequency response (exhibiting a gentle rolloff in the bass, but otherwise approximating a straight line from around 80 Hz all the way on up to 20 kHz) sounds best to most people, that's not the case for headphones. Heaphones are designed to compensate for the fact that when we're wearing them, we're not hearing sound moving through the air or interacting with the room around us. So a good headphone design includes a bass boost, a dip in the low mids, boost in the high mids, and a rolled-off high end.
But the perceived sound of headphones is very subjective, since it is so heavily dependent on the shape of the wearer's ear. You might hate a pair that measures well on a KEMAR, and the next guy might love them. And, lo and behold, while the headphones with the most "textbook" response curves were generally better liked, not only did our panel not agree on most of these 'phones, but our overall winner wasn't the model with the best-looking graph.
Read on for details - and our winners and losers.
