Whether your back pain is chronic or acute, it's possible to find some relief.
"All back pain can't be eliminated, but by being proactive you can make bad episodes less frequent and less painful," says Noah Finkel, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon in private practice in Huntington, N.Y., and a spokesman for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Chronic low back pain is pain that persists for more than three months. Often, the cause is difficult to determine. Acute low back pain lasts from a few days to a few weeks, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). Most acute back pain is caused by a back injury or a degenerative condition such as arthritis.
Although back pain tends to be a universal complaint, Dr. Finkel says, middle-aged people are more likely than younger and older folks to have back pain that's related to lifestyle.
"Men and women in their 30s, 40s and 50s have a high incidence of back problems due to a combination of risk factors that typically appear in middle age," he says. "Addressing these underlying causes can significantly reduce the incidence of back problems."
By the time you reach middle age, your bone strength, muscle elasticity and muscle tone have started to decline, the NINDS says. The discs in your spine become drier and less flexible, making them less able to cushion your vertebrae. The degeneration also can make the spinal canal -- the passageway that carries your spinal cord -- narrower. All these can lead to low back pain. Low back problems also can occur because of a lack of exercise.
Overweight people have an increased risk for back pain. This is especially true for people with extra weight around the mid-section, which pulls the pelvis forward, creating stress on the lower back.
People carrying extra pounds also may experience sciatica and low back pain from a herniated disc or a pinched nerve caused by compensating for the weight.
Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise not only reduces existing back pain, but also can help prevent certain types of back problems in the future. For example, overweight and obese people have an increased risk for osteoarthritis as they age.
Lack of exercise can cause or worsen back pain because of increased stiffness and weakened muscles.
Sedentary people miss out on the benefits of regular physical activity, including nourishment of spinal discs, soft tissues and ligaments. When there's a lack of exercise, discs become malnourished and degenerated.
Strengthening exercises for the muscles of the back and abdomen can help provide better support for the spine.
Participating in a regular exercise program that includes stretching, strengthening and low-impact aerobic conditioning can help heal existing problems and prevent future ones.
"Movement and exercise also keep the spine healthy, flexible and strong," says Dr. Finkel. "Gentle forms of exercise, such as yoga, Pilates, water therapy, riding a stationary bike or walking, are especially helpful."
Sitting in office chairs for hours at a time can cause low back pain or worsen existing pain.
In addition, says Dr. Finkel, "Most people sit wrong. Sitting forward or slouching down in a chair can overstretch the spinal ligaments and strain the discs and surrounding structures in the spine. Over time, incorrect sitting posture and poor workplace ergonomics can contribute to or cause recurrent episodes of back pain."
The best sitting position for your back is to align it against the chair back. Avoid slouching or leaning forward, and keep your knees even with your hips or slightly higher.
Most people who are under stress and don't manage it effectively tend to sleep poorly, have a poor diet and get little exercise. Add stress-related muscle tightness to the mix and back problems can result.
Taking good care of yourself when you're stressed by doing relaxation and breathing exercises and finding time to exercise every day -- even if it's nothing more than a 10- or 15-minute walk -- can help prevent back problems.
Whether you lift every day or occasionally, knowing how to do it properly -- especially if you're out of shape or overweight -- can reduce your chance of hurting your back.
To lift correctly: Always be sure to bend your knees, keep your back straight and tighten your abdominal muscles when lifting. Keep your shoulders in line with your hips to avoid twisting. Hold the weight close to your body. Don't lift anything that's too heavy without assistance.
Smokers are almost three times more likely to develop low back pain than nonsmokers.
According to the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor, the nicotine in cigarette smoke thickens the walls of the blood vessels. This restricts blood flow through the large and small blood vessels of the lower back and increases the amount of time for healing and recovery if you have a back injury.
"Keeping your back healthy and strong by exercising and maintaining a healthy weight takes some time and effort," says Dr. Finkel. "But for many people, the prospect of living free of back pain is well worth it."

Madison-based Quest Diagnostics is expanding into the laboratories of academic health care facilities in Massachusetts, increasing the company's footprint outside New Jersey.
Quest announced Wednesday it completed the acquisition of the UMass Memorial Medical Center clinical outreach laboratory, in Worcester, Mass., and announced the acquisition of the medical center's anatomic pathology outreach lab. Quest also signed a lease for 200,000 square feet in Marlborough, Mass., for a new state-of-the-art clinical lab, which eventually will house the UMass lab assets as well as several other diagnostic services.
Wendy Bost, director of media relations for Quest, said the acquisition is part of a national trend the company is seeing of hospitals wanting to focus on clinical care, and using acquisitions or joint ventures to provide quality and cost-effective diagnostic services.
"We have a long standing commitment to the Massachusetts and New England region," Bost said. "In this case, we were fortunate to come across a provider such as UMass that is forward-thinking about changes going on in the health care space, and making sure they're providing financially viable services."
Bost said the company's home state is "clearly an important region for us," but would not elaborate on any potential similar transactions in New Jersey.
"At this stage, we are exploring opportunities in different parts of the country, because we believe that there are hospital systems around the U.S. who are recognizing that, by focusing on their core business, focusing on patient care, they have an opportunity to drive cost synergies," Bost said.
Bost said Quest had done a number of acquisitions or joint ventures in the 1990s with hospitals, but in recent years, providers began building and operating their own labs. The UMass deal is the second in 12 months for Quest, which Bost said indicates another swing of the pendulum.
"Through the transaction, we expect we will be able to benefit from the academic expertise of UMass Memorial, but we're also in a position, thanks to Quest's scale and our own diagnostic expertise, to provide services to that market that we expect will be more cost effective than hospital outreach labs could offer themselves," Bost said.
Academic faculty and other laboratory professionals from UMass Memorial and the University of Massachusetts Medical School will collaborate with Quest on pathology and other clinical services, according to the announcement.

My 3rd year program assumes that students now have some solid basics down: Construction, line of action, basic motion. Now I want to take those skills and broaden the students' horizons.
Artists need to learn how to recognize the difference between formula and invention. Animation is full of formula and I would like to see a generation of artists who can break through the formula and start to use their skills as tools in order to create with, rather than simply repeat what has been done to death.
The year is dedicated to honing the cartoonists' observation skills and getting them to be able to apply their observations to their cartooning and animation.
Intense Caricature Study and Application
Every person you draw is uniquely his or her own style, has a unique set of not only features, but expressions, gestures, mannerisms, textures, body language, body shape etc. The style of your caricature should be dictated not by a preset notion of a caricature style, but by the style of the person being observed and dissected.
You want to get ideas from those you observe, you don't want to impose your own notions of what you think looks good onto your model. That's backwards.
The danger of imitating someone else's style is that you end up imitating their limitations and probably tone down their positive attributes. Hirschfeld is a great designer-caricaturist and unfortunately, much-imitated. What people tend to imitate is a superficial surface of what he does. He doesn't really caricature bodies and he makes everybody look elegant, even though most of his subjects aren't elegant. It works for him and makes for great illustrations, but there is only one Hirschfeld. Drawing spaghetti arms, graphic textures and squinty eyes won't make you the next great caricaturist.
For the purposes of animation, your caricatures should be observant and exploratory rather than imitations of someone else's ideas and filters. Every subject you draw has new information that - if you can capture it, you can use in your own work. If you filter what the real world looks like through some preset notion of style (what things should look like) then you are severely handicapping your creativity.
Your goals in this course will be:
Make it look like the person.
Be Funny.
Learn the mechanics of the person.
To be able to draw a specific set of forms from every angle.
Be able to articulate what you learned from each person you caricature.
Absorb the ability to make new shapes constantly and not rely on traditional cliched animation shapes.
Students will pick either other students, teachers, family or film and TV actors and study not only what their faces look like in repose, but how their facial mechanics work for different expressions.
Specific Bodies
Everyone's body is as unique as their face, yet bodies are hardly ever caricatured. Usually someone has one way of drawing hands, or drawing fat, but this class will encourage students to observe how many different funny forms hands and fat can take.
Specific Expressions, Specific Gestures
I want students to constantly observe everyone around them. Be able to imitate them. Study their unique expressions, body language and gestures. There are no shortage of unique among cartoonists and animators. I've known so many that are full of individual quirks that are really funny. Amazingly these same individuals rarely put their own quirks into their cartoon drawings and animation. People automatically fall into line when they get a job and fit themselves into what they think is the correct and approved way to draw cartoons.I want students to begin to get a handle on real and specific expressions , then apply them to cartoon characters. Students can pick any of a set of classic characters and draw them in specific poses and expressions. This is not an easy thing to do!
Blandness is a big obstacle to creativity in animation today. This course consists of taking cartoon drawings that others have done and doing caricatures of them. This will get the students to be more analytical, and will instill a thirst for contrasts and fun in their work.The first semester would be spent doing still drawings and analyzing contrasts in designs. The second would be animating caricatures of cartoon styles and inventing funny ways to move funny characters.
This will teach students how to explore and refine creative ideas. To bring them conviction and clarity. To avoid the middle. To instill a sense of design and balance.
We'll study the best and funniest complex actions from classic Popeyes, Disney, Warners cartoons and animate variations using different characters.
Solving design/animation problems. Animating cartoon designs from media other than animation-comic strips, magazine cartoons, etc. Here's a few I would like to try, but there are a lot more styles to experiment with.
There are a small handful of design styles in animation today: The Cal Arts Style. The Spumco Style (its derivatives). The Cartoon Network Everything Has Corners Style. Each of these graphic styles come with their own set of cliched automatic motions.
They also come with severe creative limitations. I want to show students the vast variety of cartoon drawing styles that exist in other mediums and have them find ways to animate them that enhances the graphic styles - all with a mind to humor and entertainment.
This will open the students' minds to the limitless possibilities of animation that have yet to be explored.
Animating Super Structures with Varied Timings
A lot of animation today consists of quick actions that zip from pose to pose and avoids any slow careful 3 dimensional motions and subtle changes of expression.
This class will ask the students to do more careful and subtle types of acting and actions that don't rely on stock animation tricks.
We'll study live action actors and try to implement a wider range of timings and actions from life.
Bob McKimson's animation will set a great example of motion that doesn't cheat. Doing it the hard way.
Animating Caricatures
This class will take what was learned in the caricature classes and apply it to motion.
Students will animate characters that have the specific mannerisms and expressions that real people they have studied have.
Advanced acting, dialogue animation. Timing, pacing.
This continues the 2nd year studies.
Analysis Of Formula and Breaking Of Habits
Analysis and pattern recognition is the antidote to cliche. If you can see formulas, then you can break them.
The stronger your observational abilities and your analytic prowess is, the faster you will be able to grow creatively.
During your career you will be called upon to rely on formula and cliche, although your bosses won't call them that. If you recognize them for what they are, you can adapt quickly to different styles.
If you ever get a chance to work on a project that actually demands creativity, you will be less likely to be frozen in someone else's formula.

NewarkBound, a new magazine aimed at drawing visitors to the state's largest city — and encouraging them to spend more time and money exploring Newark's restaurant, entertainment, arts and culture scene — will debut in January. The free magazine also will be available online, and will be published twice in 2013, with plans to go quarterly in 2014.
This is a new venture of DMC Publishing, whose principals, Victor Nichols, Pam Goldstein and Tony Jones, also operate Diversity Marketing and Communications, of Florham Park. Nichols, the publisher of NewarkBound, said his goal "is to get people with disposable income to come to Newark, and then get them to triangulate experiences. If you go to NJPAC for a play, you can come a little earlier and stop at the Newark Museum, or stay later and have dinner in the Ironbound or have a nightcap at one of the new bars that are popping up."
He said the timing is right for NewarkBound, with the Super Bowl coming to the Meadowlands in 2014 and new downtown development changing the look of the city.
Nichols said NewarkBound will help counter some negative perceptions among out-of-towners.
"The elephant in the room is the perception of crime," Nichols said. When people who don't know the city consider coming in for dinner "the first thing in their mind is: 'Is my car going to be safe? Am I going to be safe? Is it safe?' You run a risk of being mugged when you go to New York City, but that is not a consideration when you are driving through the Lincoln Tunnel."
Al Koeppe is president of the Newark Alliance, one of several key organizations in the city that have publicly welcomed the new magazine. Koeppe said he hopes NewarkBound encourages visitors to move beyond downtown and explore other parts of the city.
"Newark needs to have community connections within the city as well as outside the city," he said. "This is a city of life. I'm not saying there are not problems, but there is life throughout the wards."
Koeppe said he also would like to see NewarkBound "reflect the writings and experiences of Newarkers, who have experienced the city from different perspectives." He said Newark needs to "create an identity that reflects the community itself."

Clint Bowyer combines off-track humor and serious racing in sports car debut
Distributed by The Sports Xchange
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- You could call Clint Bowyer the clown price of the Rolex 24 -- but for one thing.
Yes, Bowyer had the media center in stitches after his first stint in the AF Waltrip Ferrari 458. On the track, however, in his first sports car competition, Bowyer showed some serious speed, as he and teammates Rob Kauffman, Michael Waltrip and Rui Aguas finished eighth in the GT classification and 16th overall in GRAND-AM's most prestigious race.
Bowyer may downplay his own contribution, but don't kid yourself. He won the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event last June at Sonoma Raceway with a near-perfect drive. On Saturday and Sunday at Daytona International Speedway, Bowyer held his own against some of the world's most talented and experienced sports car drivers.
But that didn't mean he couldn't lighten the mood of reporters facing a long night of race coverage.
Bowyer paid a visit to the media center after his first stint on the track. That was at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, four hours into the race.
"What time is it anyway--7:30?" Bowyer asked. "We're almost to halfway, right? Who came up with the idea of a 24-hour race anyway?"
Herb Branham, NASCAR's managing director of communications for GRAND-AM Road Racing, informed Bowyer that the vision for the Rolex 24 came from NASCAR founder Bill France Sr.
"That's pretty cool then!" Bowyer replied.
If NASCAR had a statistical category for "saves," Bowyer would be the early-season leader.
Bowyer also had issues trying to understand the Italian engineers on his team radio. The AF Waltrip team is a collaboration between Michael Waltrip Racing and an AF Corse organization, based in Italy, that has raced to considerable international acclaim.
The "AF" in AF Corse stands for team founder Amato Ferrari.
"The guys that talk to you (on the radio), I can't understand 'em, other than 'Pit!'" Bowyer said. "You can understand 'Pit' and that's pretty much it. I asked them for lap times, and you might as well just carry on a conversation with yourself."
Nevertheless, the pomp and circumstance of the Rolex 24 wasn't lost on Bowyer, who will return to Daytona in two weeks for Daytona 500 qualifying.
"This is their biggest race of the year," Bowyer said. "I think our Daytona 500 is exactly like that, with the thrill and the excitement in the air like that, especially down on the starting grid. It's kind of comparable, but it sure is cool to see all the action, all the excitement, neat cars, a lot of different cars from what I'm used to...
"There was body paint. I certainly liked the body paint. I thought that was a great addition to the day. Some of them had umbrellas. It was fun!"

Much ongoing debate about stricter gun laws has been going on all across our country since the Newtown school shooting in Connecticut. One area where the gun laws are the strictest in the country is Chicago.
Chicago was home to Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old honor student. Pendleton, who performed as a drum majorette at President Barack Obama's inauguration last month, was shot to death by two reputed gang members who mistook the group of teens she was with for rivals.
Michael Ward, 18, and Kenneth Williams, 20, are charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and aggravated battery with a firearm in the attack that also left two other teens wounded.
Ward told police the shooting was in retaliation for Williams getting wounded last July on Chicago's South Side. Williams refused to sign a complaint against those suspected in the attack.
Williams and Ward targeted Hadiya and other teens Jan. 29 because they believed, mistakenly, that they were members of the gang responsible for the July shooting.
Ward pleaded guilty early last year in a 2011 case that involved aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. He was given two years' probation, according to court records.
After his arrest last summer on a charge of criminal trespass to a vehicle, he was held without bond for a few weeks, but was released after a Sept. 9 hearing.
Williams was arrested on a misdemeanor retail theft charge in October 2011, but the charge was dismissed.
Stricter gun laws will not affect those who pay no attention to the law, as can be seen in the Pendleton case. Mandatory jail time for those who use weapons illegally is what we need.

Sturgis tops Three Rivers
Sturgis held Three Rivers scoreless in the first quarter, then used runs in the second and third quarters to take control of the game, as the Trojans claimed their third consecutive Class B district title with a 58-37 win Friday night at Edwardsburg.
"Another good start," Sturgis coach Keith Kurowski said. "I was a little leery coming into the postseason, we had not gotten off to quick starts most of the year. But in these three games, one of our keys was getting off to quick starts and maintaining the lead and momentum."
The Trojans advance to a 6 p.m. Monday regional semifinal game at Marshall. They will meet undefeated Stevensville-Lakeshore, which defeated Benton Harbor, 54-43, on Friday. The second semifinal game has South Haven battling Battle Creek Harper Creek.
Neither team came out well offensively as Sturgis led 6-0 after one quarter.
"I think both teams had some nerves," Kurowski said. "Maybe in a regular season game, we don't hold them scoreless."
Wildcat coach Mike Carhart felt his team's defense kept them in the game early.
"That hurt, but our defense played great," he said about the first quarter. "I wasn't worried about it. It's always very rough when you can't get a bucket for a long period of time and it takes a toll on the guys morale."
After a three-pointer by the Trojans' Jalen Cox put his team ahead, 9-2, the Wildcats cut the deficit to 10-8 after a layup by Alex Cottingham, off a feed from Anderson Goff.
But Sturgis scored the next nine points, capped by another triple by Cox to push the lead to 19-8.
"I told Jalen that he was in for a big game for 32 minutes," Kurowski said. "He said before the game that this is the best he felt all week. He's a senior, one of our better players, and really got us going in the first half."
Sturgis led 26-14 at halftime.
"I think we did a good job of establishing our inside game and it flowed inside to outside on the perimeter, where we hit some shots," Kurowski said. "Good balance offensively tonight."
Carhart felt his team may have forced a few shots as they fell behind.
"When Sturgis went on that run in the second quarter, we started throwing up a couple of 'Hail Mary' shots hoping they would fall for us and get us back in it and that's not the way to go," he said. "And that's not the way this team is built."
Eduardo Portillo hit a short jumper off a feed from Patrick Haas to start the third quarter as the Trojans increased the lead to 33-14.
"We wanted to come out and establish our defensive identity and try to get the ball down low in good scoring positions for Chance and some of our other guys," Kurowski said. "I thought we did a good job of moving without the ball, because they sagged back and doubled on Chance and Eduardo was a recipient of a lot of flashes, drives and dives to the basket."
The game continued to get more physical as the second half wore continued and it may have affected the Wildcats.
"The guys let Sturgis get in their heads a little bit," Carhart said. "The refs calls got in their heads a little bit, but you can only control what you can control. You don't worry about the refs, you don't worry about the other team, you worry about your play only, because that's the only thing you can control."
Sturgis led 43-21 after three periods.
"We kept them to one shot," Kurowski said. "We wanted to play one-shot basketball on the defensive end. We knew if we could limit them to one shot they would have a hard time tonight. Again, another good defensive effort."
An alley-oop hook-up between Haas and Cox gave the Trojans their largest lead, 47-21, with 6:33 to go in the game.
Despite the loss, Carhart was pleased with his teams' accomplishment.
"For our season that we had, the record that we had, making it to the district finals was a nice little ending," he said. "It would have been nicer to win."
Stewart led all scorers with 21 points and added 24 rebounds, nine on the offensive end.
"We joke that his misses shots to pad his stats," Kurowski said. "Chance has developed into one of the better big guys in the area, if not the state."
Cox tossed in 16 and Portillo added 13 for Sturgis. Also, Jack Scheske, Nick Rehm and Jacob Cline each had two points, while Andrew Airgood and Tyler Bennett each hit a free throw.
Cottingham notched 11 points to lead the Wildcats.
"You can't say enough about a guy like Alex," Carhart said. "He'll do anything. He came up to me before the game and asked me to guard Chance, even though he knew the size difference, but he just felt he wanted to take on the challenge of getting in front, which was our gameplan. He got his hands on some of the balls. He gave 100 percent the whole time."
Goff finished with seven, Corry Brown tallied five, Brady Reeves added four and Kendall James, Trenton Karle, Austin Pratt, Connor Smith and Ryan Satkoski each had two.
Slowing down Cottingham and Reeves was part of the Trojan plan coming into the game.
"They have two of the better guards we've faced all year," Kurowski said. "Cottingham and Reeves could start on just about any team we played. We knew coming in one of the keys to our success was slowing them down and making it hard for them on the offensive end. And I think for the most part we did that."
Carl Limburg and Portillo each added three rebounds for Sturgis, Cox swiped five steals and Bennett added four assists, while Portillo had three.

Using a system of grading codes based on those established by price guides such as Beckett, Tuff Stuff, Sports Collector's Digest, collectors can determine the approximate condition of items offered by interpreting the following grades. Grading is very subjective and there can also be grades in between the levels below.
MINT (MT) - while we rarely use this grade, occasionally it can be found for items that we appraise as appearing nearly perfect to the naked eye. With respect to cards, it would be defined as one with 50/50 centering all around, razor-sharp corners, a photo that is well-registered and completely focused, and no visible imperfections on card front or back.
NEAR MINT-MINT (NRMT/MT) - is qualified by at least 60/40 centering, only the slightest hint of corner wear upon close inspection, and may have a barely visible print spot, lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
NEAR MINT (NRMT) - card displays at least 70/30 centering, may have a visible slight touch of corner wear all around, and/or a few slightly visible print spots, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT-MINT (EX/MINT) - centering equivalent to NRMT (70/30), but 2 or 3 corners display an obvious "fuzzy" quality. Essentially, a card that would have been deemed NRMT if not for the corner wear being more apparent. May have a barely visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT (EX) - all four corners show visible signs of wear, but are not rounded. Centering at least 80/20. May have a visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
VERY GOOD (VG) - Corners are rounded and the card may have creases or wrinkles.
FAIR TO GOOD - in this grade, card has rounded corners and other major defects such as scuffing, pinholes, loss of gloss, multiple creases. In general, a markedly worn card and often used as a "filler" until a better one comes along.
HARTLAND STATUESHartland produced it's first baseball statues back in the early 60's. Sports Collectibles Digest stated that the 1960's Mickey Mantle Hartland is the single most popular plastic sports statue ever produced ! In 1988 Hartland created their 25th Anniversary Editions which, except for some very minor details, were identical to the original.
Hartland partnered with America's leading hobby-periodical publisher, Krause Publications, to create the SCD Authentic series offering the original 18 as you've never seen them with each statue dramatically different from prior releases. They are amazingly beautiful and exquisitely detailed in their road uniforms with painted pinstripes and wood grained bats making them a unique collectible opportunity for both veteran collectors and Hartland newcomers alike.
Limited to only 2,500 pieces each, these statues are BRAND NEW, MINT and in THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES !!!

1969 Topps StampsThis was Topps 3rd stamp issue in the last eight years and it was a good one !!! The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue . For a nickel you got a strip of twelve stamps plus a mini album. The 1969 Topps Stamps complete set contains 240 stamps. The 1 x 1-7/16 inch stamps were unnumbered and featured a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored banner at the bottom of the stamp. The stamps were released in both vertical and horizontal strips of 12 stamps. The 1969 Topps Stamps are often confused with Topps' 1974 issue. The 1974 Topps Stamps have ovals rather than banners at the bottom and were released only in 12-stamp horizontal panels.
Along with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 albums, one per team, to store them in. The 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" orange albums were the same size as a baseball card and held a complete 10-stamp team set. To add even more collecting fun, the album's back cover had facsimile autographs of the ten players shown in the album.
The 1969 Topps Stamps set is packed with stars like Pete Rose along with tons of Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente & many, many more !!!

The practice of requiring Confession as a preparation for Communion may have been an absolute necessity in 18th and 19th Century Russia where this practice developed in part because laity received Communion only once or twice per year.
the idea that there is anything wrong or suspect with frequent Holy Communion is a relatively recent and isolated notion
I was always under the impression that the concept that there was something suspect or improper with frequently communing came from the old world, and was brought to the west by immigrants. Perhaps this is partly due to the unique confessional clergy system the Greeks have, though Slavs also infrequently communed at various times and places. Wasn't there a battle during the middle of the 20th century in which Fr. Alexander Schmemann and others tried to get this notion (ie. that frequent communion is improper) out of people's heads?
Frequent communion is common and encouraged in the Coptic Orthodox Church. However, it is assumed that the believer confesses regularly; he need not have confessed immediately before partaking of the Eucharist, or even a week before partaking of the Eucharist, but he nonetheless is expected to have maintained a consistent schedule with intervals of reasonable length (I guess this is to be decided by the parish priest - in my parish for example, once a month is considered the norm).If a priest knows that a particular person has consistently failed to maintain this schedule for unworthy reasons, he can, and most probably will, refuse that person Communion; but they're not generally very "tight" about it. You don't usually see the priest stop every person approaching the Eucharist, in order to ask them when the last time they confessed was. The Holy Liturgy itself is full of reminders to the congregation, that they must approach worthily: "The holies are for the holy..." (said by the Priest) and "Pray for the worthy Communion of the Immaculate, Heavenly, and Holy Mysteries" (said by the Deacon) etc. I guess the main reason for frequent Communion, is that the Grace dispensed to the repentent sinner through partaking of the Eucharist, is required to assisst them in their life of repentence, and ultimately their journey to Salvation.
I'm a ROCOR person so confession before communion is the norm that I've grown up with. I never approached the chalice without confession the night before, save for a consecutive day communion (liturgy Saturday and Sunday, or Sunday and Monday). Recently one priest blessed us throughout the entire Holy Week to commune w/o a repeat confession. That's the longest stretch I recall. To me it makes sense on several levels. The most important is that the two sacraments reinforce each other. It really works very nicely, to be honest. A confession the night before feels more fulfilled when you commune the next morning. Approaching the chalice with a total sense of having cleaned yourself of your sins the night before is good, it's reinforcing you. I've always liked that feeling. Another issue is that it 'levels the playing field' with the parishioners. Everyone who approaches the chalice the priest has seen for confession the night before or in the morning. If someone walks up to the chalice just like that, they will be stopped by the priest and asked if they confessed. That's for their own benefit, even if it's embarrasing for them at that moment, because communion isn't something to be taken lightly. I think, personally, it's better for a subdeacon or altar boy to ask people further down in line if they confessed and fasted because it lessens the embarrasment factor when someone is in front of the congregation before the chalice and is turned away, but that's a fine point. In any case, there's no case of 'you confessed X amount of times so you're okay, you didn't so..." Either you went the night before or you didn't. Period. Also, I don't think that very frequent (once a week) communion is something all people can properly accept from a spiritual POV, there are some dangers that can evolve from a careless approach to the chalice and the more often you do it, the more likely you'll be subject to such a temptation.
1) Have you (or anyone here) REALLY cleansed yourself of ALL sins just because you went to Confession the day/night before?  If so, then I expect you to be well on the path to theosis.
2) What about those who travel frequently and often visit other parishes?
3) What about those who maybe went to services that lasted late, have family responsibilities and just didn't have the time to properly do their prayers?
4) What if someone is going through tough times spiritually and praying is difficult (this is something that was brought up during one of the lectures at the retreat I attended this weekend) - should they not Communion at all?
I think we need be careful of not being to legalistic regarding preparation for Communion, as deliberately withholding from potential Communicants could be as spiritually dangerous as Communing haphazardly or w/o proper preparation.  We all have different circumstances that need to be addressed individually.
I got nothing.
I forgot the maps
Don't believe everything you think.
The more I know, the less I know.
I'm not going to go into debating what Fr. Alexander Schmemann wrote, he's certainly a very bright clergyman - although I don't by far agree with his outlook on many things. If you told me tomorrow that I can come up to the sacrament of communion without confession, and I could do this for weeks at a time, I don't see myself feeling right about it. For some of you such a sacramental life is normal, and I'm fine with that personally too. I'm not about to jump in front of you during liturgy and scream 'stop this apostasy!' Besides, the priest is the guardian of the chalice and it is his responsibility to know what is spiritually beneficial for his flock.
Let's take a case example, one that might be more common than you think...Someone goes to church on a regular basis. Friday night they hang out at a party. They get a little carried away with the drinking, and the liquor starts encouraging that person do stupid things, such as getting sexually involved with someone. Then this person simply reads communal prayers and says "I know no matter what I'm not worthy to receive the sacrament, so I should take it anyway". Tell me, how much respect does THAT show for communion?In that case, why fast before communion? We should say "we're not worthy even if we fast", so let's just skip out on that. Why make it obligatory? Go ahead and let the flesh and blood of Christ mix up with your cereal and orange juice, for even if our stomach is clean we are still not worthy to receive Christ...Do you catch the logic here? Yes, we are unworthy all the same, but let us make the best effort to come to the chalice as clean as we can. We clean out our stomach, why not clean out our hearts too?
Once again, I respect the idea of trying to commune frequently, but it's important to be mindful and I really see nothing wrong with going to confession before each communion.
The sacrament of communion in itself needs discretion. If it is viewed as something to do for 'good luck', like taking a vitamin suppliment, that is dangerous. With a high level of frequency this risk becomes greater.
To bring up a point from the earlier thread, the Church is the same as it always was, but the TIMES WE LIVE IN are different, attitudes of people towards spirituality are tainted with different dangers and temptations than in the times of the early church.
A person living outside the Orthodox church in Byzantium was an exception, a person living outside of the Orthodox church in America is the rule. Go to any metropolitan area from 10 am to 12 pm on Sunday morning and see how many people are walking and driving around, and how many more are in their beds sleeping or watching TV. Doesn't that tell us where we are living today?
Sure we all have the same opportunity for holiness as did the early members of the church. We will have this same opportunity when the last times come. But to believe that frequency of communion is the way to do it - I disagree.
I've seen kids who've frequently communed (where confession was optional) and no longer even attend church. It's more than one person, too. To them communion became little more than a snack tied to a pretty ritual, which they got sick of as soon as they gave up their Sunday morning for more sleep or other activities.
In our Romanian Church one is expected to confess always before Communion; but, from my experience, I think that this might be due to the fact that the norm in our Church is to recieve the Holy Communion very rarely: at Easter or during Lent, at Christmas or during Advent,and on the Feast of Dormition. The Feast of the Holy Apostles might be another occasion, too. Back in my home parish, on most of the Sundays , only the priests recieve the Eucharist; nevertheless, the text of the Liturgy is not skipped, and the priest comes out of the altar, with the chalice in his hands saying: "With fear of God and love, draw ye near." We even sing the hymn "Let our mouths be filled...", even if nobody, in fact, recieved the Holy Communion. Things might be different in larger towns and cities, but in our little town, and the whole surrounding region, they are, as I've said.
Holy Communion is meaningful only for the life committed to constant repentance and obedience to Christ's commandments.  No one who is not committed to this life or falls out of this life into serious sin should be allowed to receive Communion without first repenting of his/her sins, this through Confession.  But within the context of a life devoted to Jesus Christ and His Church, the fasting and prayers of preparation for Communion are intended to reveal to me the depth of the abyss between my unworthiness and Christ's love for me, the chief of sinners.  Regular Confession is indeed necessary to keep me on the path of repentance, but keeping this repentance ongoing is the key.  Confession is not necessary to prepare me for each and every Holy Communion (as if Confession will somehow make me worthy to receive) so much as it is to work together with Holy Communion to bring me to theosis.
I could go on and on with more examples.....just what is the point you are trying to make?  Because if it's that somehow living in an  "Orthodox" culture gives you a better chance at holiness, my response would have to be "maybe...maybe not."
How in Mor's good nameone hundred fifty four postsNo Rachel Weisz picSelam
nor would he give them the cross to venerate, because he felt it was disrespectful to leave traces of lipstick on the communal spoon and on crosses/icons.
Btw, totally different and unrelated note - I love Pravoslav Bob's avatar
Gee, thanks.  I was going to change it, but I guess it will have to stay for a while longer! ÂÂ
I think an Orthodox culture always gives you a greater chance for holiness. We should always be trying to Christify our surroundings, to make them reflect the life in Christ we want everyone to lead. This is why it is important, imho, to support legislation that is Christian, i.e. to suppress the propaganda of homosexuality and so on. By creating a Christian environment (and all the more better if it is Orthodox Christian) we are in a way doing the same as bringing society into a church building. It certainly doesn't guarantee that everyone will choose a life in Christ, but the environment encourages spiritual growth. There is a greater environment of support, sort of like a greenhouse for plants. Christian Byzantium was one such place - it was hardly immune from sin of course, but it was a more positive environment for Christian growth, overall, than the west village is in New York City
I mean, combining that with the name is very effective too, it gives me a sense that a big bear by the name of Bob was made Orthodox and now that bear is kind and relaxed - like he seems in the photo
Well, then this bear will just have to try and restrain his passions and become more kind and relaxed, so that he fits your vision of what an Orthodox bear should be! Forgive me if I sometimes too strident.
In the Serbian church it is common to confess before communion. each time. Most people just go up to the priest and when he says "do you have anything to confess" they say "no" (this is from the priests, its not like i'm listening in or anything )

I have neither administered nor experienced a shonky Confession such as you describe. If you visit a Serbian church you will see with your own eyes how much time the priest spends with each penitent.

But nothing is more difficult than trying to please everyone.
Nothing in life is easy.
But nothing is more difficult than trying to please everyone.
Bill Cosby famously said, "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."
Most of our lives are spent trying to decide which criticisms to listen to.
That was the case for some of our local city workers this week when they were removing Cottonwood seedlings from the city lake. When the lake was dry, the cottonwood trees had great success multiplying in the muddy lakebed. After getting not one, but two pieces of equipment caught in the mud while trying to remove the young trees, the effort was called off.
Now that the lake has filled back up, the workers used boats, waders and simply swam while removing the small trees from along the shoreline.
While they were working, a few Augusta residents drove by and went to the trouble of rolling down their windows to curse at them and heckle them for not taking care of the problem earlier.
Every job is easy for the person who doesn't have to do it.
Now that the job is done, no equipment is stuck in the mud and shorelines look so much better. Hopefully some people will go out of their way to show appreciation for the job well done.
Author Stephanie Meyer could relate to these workers.
"It's sad when you can't make everyone happy, though. It's impossible but, at the same time, you still hope. You think, 'Maybe I can do it,' but you know you can't," Meyer said. "But gosh, if I had to rely on giving people what they wanted, I would have had to write 40 billion different books and even then, I wouldn't get it right."
I know how that is.
I never play devil's advocate in my columns. I can't write what someone else thinks and I can't write some contrarian opinion just to make people think.
That's too much work.
I just write what I think and feel. Readers are welcome to disagree with me because there have been many times where I have disagreed with my own columns a few weeks or months later when I learned something that made me change my mind.
I could never make everyone happy. In Kansas, I am a liberal voice bringing moderate ideas to the reddest of red states. But those same columns in Ohio or Connecticut or New York result in calls to my voicemail calling me a "typical, heartless, son of Satan Republican."
Did you notice the quotation marks? That's because that was a quote from this week from a reader in Ohio.
It doesn't matter what I write, someone somewhere will disagree with it. As long as people can be at least somewhat reasonable in their dissent, it doesn't bother me at all.
You have to realize that reasonable, intelligent and well-meaning people are going to disagree with you sometimes – even on your most heartfelt beliefs.
As hard as that is for a writer, think about how difficult it makes serving as an elected official. Even if you win in a landslide, 40 percent of the people in your district wanted someone else.
So who should a representative listen to?
During this government shutdown, representatives have to decide whether to listen to the party leadership, national polls or a few voices in their district.
What would you do? All have pros and cons associated with them.
No matter what a representative does, social media outrage will find them.
Whether it's a city worker removing trees from a lake, a columnist sharing ideas or a congressman making decisions on which direction the country should go, outrage should be reserved for those who violate you intentionally.
Simple disagreements do not justify name-calling and angry diatribes.
Disagree all you like. But as the self-help book title says, you need to learn to "disagree without being disagreeable."

CRANBERRY TWP — Two vehicles collided at the Cranberry Commons parking lot Tuesday resulting in one rolling onto its side.
The drivers, both female, were both taken to UPMC Passavant Cranberry hospital for evaluation after suffering minor scrapes. Neither driver suffered serious injuries and there were no passengers in the vehicles, township police Sgt. Chuck Mascellino said.
The collision occurred about 11:40 a.m. when a white Nissan Murano traveling east at a three-way intersection failed to yield to a silver Jaguar X-Type traveling north after turning into the lot off Route 228. The Jaguar collided with the passenger side of the Nissan knocking it onto its side and deploying the airbags in both vehicles, Mascellino said.
No police tickets were given although the accident is under investigation, Mascellino said.
Though the parking lot and roads are private property, they still are considered traffic ways and are subject to vehicle and traffic law, Mascellino said.

Vehicles damaged
Sault Police report investigating a minor mishap in the 300 block of Peck where a parked vehicle sustained damage after it was struck by a second backing out of a private drive.
Police noted minor damage to both and no injuries.
There were no citations issued.
Alarm response
Sault Police and Sault Firefighters converged on an apartment complex in the 800 block of W. 28th Avenue shortly before 4 a.m. today after a carbon monoxide alarm was triggered inside the structure.
Authorities evacuated the building and determined there was a malfunction with the boiler in the basement.
Two individuals went to the hospital to be checked out in the wake of the incident.
Sault Firefighters credited the use of the carbon monoxide detector for alerting the residence to the potential hazard before any of the occupants sustained serious injuries.

Bright spots were few and far between during the Lady Wildcats opener as they lost to Knoxville Catholic 28-38. The Lady Irish jumped out to a 12-2 lead while the Oak Ridge shooting was cold.
"We have to become better shooters right now," coach Kerra Jackson said of her team's eight field goals. "We don't have a natural-born shooter."
The good news is there is plenty of time to get better, the mistakes were correctible and they had their chances.
After going down by 10 points in the first quarter, a basket by Whitney Mitchell cut the lead to four in the second before Catholic stretched it out to eight, 20-12, at halftime.
Kendra Holmes got a basket midway through the third tiomake it a 21-15 deficit and a 3-pointer by freshman Taniya Smith cut the lead back to six inside nine minutes left in the game.
"Once we got that three, I thought that gave us a little spark," coach Jackson said.
But the spark was short lived as Catholic's Clare Conaty hit a bucket off a screen. Conaty got a pick and freshman Asia Anderson couldn't get around it in her first contest as a Lady Wildcat.
In all, four freshmen took the court for Oak Ridge (0-1) and saw valuable minutes along side five seniors.
"That's a freshman mistake," Jackson said of the screen play. "Taniya played every minute except maybe one and Asia played quite a few minutes. Anytime you see freshmen in the game, you are going to see those mental mistakes. It's game one. Hopefully we will get a little better every time out."
Oak Ridge was 11-of-22 shooting from the free-throw line and that kept them close to Catholic.
Mitchell led Oak Ridge with 12 points and was five of 11 from the line.
"Getting to the free-throw line is a good thing," Jackson said. "It means we were aggressive. Actually making more free throws would be a better thing for us, but as a coach you always want better things."
Holmes had nine.
The Lady Irish (1-0) were led by Erin Kenny with 12. Clare and sister Kathleen Conaty had eight and six points, respectively.
The Lady Wildcats will get some practice in before traveling to Bradley Central next weekend for the Mountain View Inn Tournament.
