Down and (Locked) Out
Posted on August 21, 2012 by OrderedChaos
The NHL's labor woes rather depressingly mirror the United States Congress… no compromise, no progress,with little thought to their constituents until votes/dollars are needed. Rich folks bicker over who gets more gold from the goose, not caring one whit that they're squeezing that goose to death.
(h/t Easton Hockey)
Derailing the NHL's modest momentum with a lockout will reduce the money pot the owners and players share. So how is holding fans hostage helping their bottom line? It's not—yes, the league needs a new CBA, but the chasm between the two sides speaks more to a clash of egos than a reasonable negotiation.
The NHLPA, thus far, seems more willing to inch toward the middle than the owners' coalition. To be fair, players are seen more favorably by default—after all, most NHL team owners are barely known by their teams' fans (Ted Leonsis is an obvious exception), and the financial gulf between workaday fans and team owners precludes much empathy.
Still, regardless of who "wins" these negotiations, the fans will lose. It's hard to see any positive outcome to this fight.
Let's suppose, for example, that the owners excel in the negotiating room and snag a notable increase in their share of the pie. Perhaps the concessions include a player salary rollback of some small percentage. Even more miraculously, the season somehow starts as scheduled.
How many of those reshuffled dollars will be passed on to the fans? $0.00. In fact, rather than a reasonable 5% or 10% reduction in ticket prices, expect yet another increase next season and for the foreseeable future. There's no pretense of "We pass the savings on to you!" in the world of professional hockey.
Add to that the cancellation of various events (e.g., the Caps' season ticketholder party), uncertainty regarding if/when games will be played, the inability of fans to resell tickets until a deal is signed… well, fans are already getting the shaft no matter how this squabble ends. If you factor in the arena vendors and security, the equipment suppliers, and the myriad small businesses and individuals (including the Capitals' office staff) who rely on the NHL to make their livings, then these stagnant negotiations are even more unforgivable.
Here in the District, the competition for the public's sports entertainment dollar is increasing. The Nationals are not only succeeding, but they're an eminently fun team to watch. The Redskins will likely stumble to another sub-par season, but excitement about RGIII has eclipsed that concern for many. A lockout will almost certainly reduce demand for Capitals tickets, drain the Caps' season ticket wait-list, and dilute ticket value for the Caps' season ticketholders.
In other markets, teams already struggling to build a fan base would give up any gains they've made in recent years, precipitating potential bankruptcies, relocations, and perhaps even contractions. One could argue that contracting a couple teams and moving a couple others would be good for the league's long-term health… but making such decisions hastily due to the financial impact of a lockout is beyond foolish.
The eager anticipation hockey fans feel as each September approaches is instead trepidation and uncertainty. If the season does happen, it will be met with sighs of relief (tempered with frustration) rather than the usual shouts of joy.
If there's no season? Anger, and gradually apathy, will replace joy — and those feelings will linger, to the detriment of players and owners alike.
So, owners: The longer a lockout looms, the more damage is done to the NHL brand, your bottom line, and your future earnings. All you'll be earning is the disdain of your customers.
Players: The fans who enable you to become millionaires by playing a game that you love are sick of these shenanigans… don't forget how good you've got it.
So get it done, folks. Drop the damned puck.

We survived losing an entire season. We can survive losing a couple of week's worth of games. At the end, as much as we love it, it's only entertainment. If they don't want our money, fine.
Mike Rucki (OrderedChaos) says:
Of course we can survive — that's the point. All this squabble is doing is pointing out to fans that, y'know, being without the NHL isn't that big a deal. That's not good for the league, and you'd hope the owners and players realize it.
To be honest, I don't care whether there's a season or not anymore; it's sad they've already pushed the hockey joy outta me. I just want it resolved one way or the other so we can plan our lives to accommodate this rather significant season-ticket investment.
Paul Savage says:
Unfortunately, I think you are wrong. Even though I would love to think that another lockout by the NHL would hurt, in truth it won't. Fans will still come back. Why? Because ice hockey is a very exciting game to watch, and the NHL has the best talents in the world.
Initially the NHL will get hurt, but in the long run, it'll not only survive, but thrive.
I think it's funny about all the vitriol directed at Bettman in that he's the one behind the lockout. He's taking his marching orders from his bosses, the owners, including Ted. Guaranteed if they wanted the season to start, Bettman's not going to do the lockout unilaterally.
I'm with the players on this one. The owners swore that the new CBA would "fix" the problems. Apparently not. But it's the players' fault that the owners keep handing them these big contracts? What was Parise supposed to say, "Thanks. But I'm really not worth this much money. I'm not signing for a penny more than $50 million"?
Do more profit sharing. Have the players give back a little. Everyone goes home a bit unhappy, which means that the proper agreement was probably signed.
Of course, seeing from the NBA and NFL lockouts how ruthless the owners can be, and seeing how the NFL is risking completely ruining its good name by locking out the referees over less than $20 million, this type of greed by the owners doesn't surprise me at all.
I mean, where is it written that you are guaranteed a profit from owning a sports team? I must have missed that lecture in my Constitutional Law class.
@PAUL, you're right people will come back, and clearly I agree that hockey is an amazingly entertaining game.
Where another lockout will hurt is the league's chance of ever getting a big-time TV deal. It could (and will) harm teams in marginal markets. It'll hurt their merchandise sales. It will push away many on-the-fence fans outside of the mega-hockey markets. And it'll piss off the hard-core fans.
Lockouts always suck. But when the country is struggling to recover from its second-worst recession in history? Wow, that's a bad time for the NHL to have this fight over more money than any of us will ever see.
@ TODD, well said. And yes, any time all parties in a compromise are a bit unhappy, then it was probably a good compromise.
(And I can only assume you mean other articles re: Bettman vitriol).
Yeah. Other articles, posts, commenters, etc.
Grooven says:
Wasn't this all supposed to have been taken care of last time?
For long-time fans, a lock-out will be frustrating. And they'll fill the void with watching "Miracle" and "Mystery, Alaska", or will move on from hockey altogether, as we saw happen with the last lock-out, maybe never to return (or at least take a long while to thaw out from the icy casting out).
But after working so hard for all of the newer fans, one would think that the league and teams would want them to stick around. But so many of them won't. They'll move on to the next sport (or trend) du jour.
Sell out streaks? Growing the fanbase? Television ratings?
While there was something nice about only 5000 fans in the seats years ago (a seat for feet, a seat for coats, etc), being in a capacity building makes for a more compelling game. Rock the Red and so many other slogans will have to fall by the wayside if the barely-occupied returns. And I'd be willing to bet the return of the $10 gate-price seat is nowhere to be seen.
@Mike: I feel for you when it comes to the money you've sunk into season tickets. But here's another question: have you ever thought about refusing to pay until there's some sort of confirmation that the season will be played? With so much uncertainty over the start time of the 2012-13 season, wouldn't you be justified to hold back your dollars? By the same token, wouldn't that mean that your current seats, or their rough equivalent, would still be available once the labor dispute is resolved?
@Eric, that's a really interesting idea: Why are we still paying each month, in advance, for a product that may not ever exist? For now I suppose it's okay as there's still a CBA… but if the CBA expires and no new one's in place, then season ticketholders have a legitimate beef if teams continue charging them.
@Mike: I was in the same boat during the lockout when Comcast double-charged me for NHL Center Ice. Took me months to get a refund – well into April 2005. If they don't intend to play the games, then why should they get to keep your money?
TG says:
The problem is that, with a waiting list, odds of us getting the same seats are limited. And while similar may be OK, if we are sitting with friends / family, it will be harder to give them up with no guarantee of being able to sit with them later.
Cuthbert says:
Lockout or no, in view of the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression, a relatively meager 11% collective increase in inflation over the last five years, depressingly familiar annual playoff flame-outs, rapidly rising player salaries, overpriced concessions, diminishing promotions, and rapidly declining quality of on-ice play since 2010, the 68% increase in Caps lower bowl season ticket prices since the 2007-08 season stands in stark contrast — and serves as as a cold (so to speak) reminder that professional hockey is first and foremost a business, and the fans first and foremost are viewed by the league, the players, the owners, and the media as a revenue source.
@ Cuthbert: Damn, that's a compelling analysis, and right on point. Well done, sir.

Some fun artwork
Some of the poster art and maps (actually maps created for OA - such as the state of the US in the early timeline) might be very applicable to OA. Some of the animal-human hybrids or the like might also have some applicability in the parts of the setting. The poster art might work for some pages on things like polities or megacorps or the like.
Oh, actually, the animal headed people were for a fantasy 19th Century-esque world (populated by animal people), while the maps, I can work with. Part of me wants to believe OA takes place in an alternate future, in a way (like I said, feels really vaporwave).

What makes you feel that way? Also, what about the future OA describes feels 'vaporwave'?
Just curious,
I guess it's the early 00s UI--a lot of it reminds me of retro graphics that people sometimes use in vaporwave. Vaporwave is a pretty broad aesthetic definition that encompasses stuff from the 1980s, 1990s, and early 00s: here's an example:
Also, you think we could use a discord chat?

Unlawfully Awful
I agree. Although the forum should definitely not be replaced, we do noticeably lack any kind of live chat, although maybe Slack would be more our thing. Discord is for gamers, after allm
My lifelong goal: To add "near" to my "baseline" classification.
Lucid dreaming: Because who says baseline computronium can't run virches?
Not really--discord is way more open these days, to all kinds of communities, not just for gamers. I'm part of multiple friend communities, actually, that aren't specifically game-related. Your call, though, or we can just add each other as contacts (if you have).

I think is a cool idea.

I had an eye doctor appointment earlier, and as I was in the waiting room, eyes in the process of dilating, I had the chance to watch some of the confirmation hearings for Sen. Jeff Sessions, appointed as Attorney General. It was interesting to hear the content of each side's arguments for or against Sen. Session's appointment - with those opposed to his appointment highlighting his positions on abortion, same sex marriage, and immigration, as well as discussing stances or actions that could signal some of the same racist views as the President-Elect who appointed him, and those in favor of his appointment highlighting the work he did with regard to the Civil Rights movement and, golly gee, he's a great guy. I suspect we're going to hear a lot of this going forward, due to Trump's history of sexist/racist statements - hearings where the focus is on showing the appointee is not racist/sexist/homophobic/etc., while in other venues, Trump supporters explain away Trump's statements.
Despite this, as Nathaniel Rakich of FiveThirtyEight points out, it's likely that most to all of these appointees will be confirmed:
From 1977 to 2013, the last six incoming presidents — Jimmy Carter through Barack Obama — made 109 appointments to Cabinet-level positions. Just six failed: Five nominees withdrew, and one was voted down by the Senate. The Senate confirmed 103 during the same span, 93 of whom were unanimously approved or not seriously contested. Ten were confirmed in contested votes. (I'm defining "contested" as more than six nay votes — admittedly a somewhat arbitrary cutoff.) Including the one rejection, that means that, whenever there was genuine dissent over a floor vote, the nominee was confirmed anyway 10 times out of 11.
It has always been rare for the Senate to outright reject a Cabinet nomination. Only nine Cabinet appointees in all of U.S. history — by new presidents plus ones attempting to fill vacancies in the middle of their terms — have ever been voted down by the Senate. The most recent Senate veto came in 1989, when John Tower, President George H.W. Bush's pick for secretary of defense, went down to defeat 53–47 amid revelations of alcohol abuse, womanizing and conflicts of interest. And that was with a hostile, Democratic-controlled Senate; the last same-party Senate to nix a president's nominee did so in 1925.

Home/volumes/39 International Aspects, February 2000
This volume presents 23 articles on International Law. The book is divided into three sections, European Law, Comparative Studies, and Extraterritorial Problems. Since 1995, not only Denmark but also Finland and Sweden have become members of the EU. Iceland and Norway are related to the community law via the EEA Agreement, creating the European Economic Area.
From this it naturally follows that the reception of European law and the interaction between European law and national law are topics of particular relevance to Scandinavian law at the present time. As a result of the Nordic participation in the EU and the general trend towards greater international cooperation there is clearly also a growing demand outside Scandinavia for information about Scandinavian law, legal thought and tradition. For comparative legal studies Scandinavian law has much to offer, and the editors hope that this volume will be an easily accessible source abridging the language barrier.

From the Spring, 1996 issue of Touchstone
Is Abigail & the Way of Wisdom by Patrick Henry Reardon
Abigail & the Way of Wisdom
The Bible's Narrative & Wisdom Traditions Are Combined in a Story of Romance
In 1 Samuel 25, at a point roughly halfway through the description of David's exile, comes the endearing account of his meeting with Abigail and of their eventual marriage.1 Reckoned among the most winsome narratives in the Bible, it is a story interesting, and even intriguing, from several aspects.
For example, 1 Samuel 25 has considerable merit just as a romance. And as a romance it is necessarily constructed with three major characters: king, queen, and knave. Since love without struggle is cloying, and struggle without love is cruel, a good romance invariably involves more than a couple falling in love. There must also be some sort of antagonist.2 A knight, a damsel, and a dragon, then, are all de rigeur, however they are named (Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher, and Injun Joe, for instance). In our story they are called David, Abigail, and Nabal.
First Samuel 25 also is interesting as a psychological study. Nabal, failing to understand either Abigail or David, is thereby brought to his ruin. David, by contrast, who is normally portrayed as a man gifted with insight into the character of other people,3 immediately perceives the inner worth of Abigail. She, quite unlike her husband, seems to understand the personality of David exactly and is able to appeal to his deeper, nobler dimensions.
I believe, however, that the principal interest of the biblical author himself is properly theological, and that it is particularly directed to two related aspects of salvation history: Wisdom and Providence. This captivating story of David, Abigail, and Nabal examines these two theological concerns. I will concentrate attention on Abigail, the central and dominant persona dramatis of 1 Samuel 25.
Abigail & the Fool
Even though she will not become an active participant in the drama until verse 14, Abigail is immediately introduced with her husband, Nabal, near the beginning of the account. This stylistic arrangement allows the author to establish early what becomes a sustained contrast between the two characters throughout the story. Abigail is "a woman of good understanding and lovely appearance," whereas her "husband was surly and of evil deeds." The rest of the account, elaborating the differences between a wise, attractive woman and her sottish, offensive husband, thus becomes a narrative enactment of the tension between Wisdom and the Fool, a standard theme of the Bible's sapiential literature.
Nabal was by blood a descendant of Caleb, a name that means "dog," 4 but he was certainly not a lazy fellow. Indeed, the evidence suggests something of a workaholic. He was a wealthy man who labored hard for everything that he possessed.5 A person of sharp tongue and mongrel disposition, Nabal was rash,6 compulsively driven, hot-tempered, stubborn, stingy, impossible to reason with, and a very slow learner. Abigail's husband thus combined many of the features that the Wisdom tradition ascribed to the Fool. He also had a drinking problem and probably high blood pressure; he died of an apparent stroke. If Nabal was possessed of any good points, Holy Scripture neglected to mention them.
A major feature of Nabal's moral imbecility was the failure to appreciate his wife's wisdom. Long habituated to ignoring her example and her counsel, he followed his own path to self-destruction. His household servants summed it up: "He is such a wicked man that no one can talk to him" (1 Samuel 25:17).
There may have been an even more unattractive side to his personality, however. Commenting that her husband's (Phoenician) name, Nabal, was identical to a Hebrew word for "fool," Abigail went on to remark that "folly is with him" (1 Samuel 25:25). Her word for "folly" in this passage, nebalah, gives further pause for darker thoughts. First, of the various Hebrew terms for "folly," this is the one likely to be used for notorious disgrace and public scandal (cf. Josuah 7:15; Isaiah 9:16 [17]; 32:6). Nebalah is not an abstract or general term; it invariably refers to individual actions and specific shameful situations. Except for Job 42:8 it does not appear in the Bible's sapiential literature.
Second and more seriously, of the 13 times that nebalah is used in the Hebrew Scriptures, eight clearly refer to some form of sexual offense: fornication (Deuteronomy 22:21), adultery (Jeremiah 29:23), rape (Genesis 34:7), incestuous rape (2 Samuel 13:12), attempted homosexual rape (Judges 19:23f.), and rape unto death (Judges 20:6,10). Thus, in describing the "folly" of her husband, Abigail uses a word that, in a majority of cases, refers to something sexual, even involving violence. To be sure, sexual aberration is only faintly suggested in our text, but it does seem to be suggested. We observe, moreover, that the marriage of Nabal and Abigail apparently produced no children, though Abigail was certainly able to conceive (cf. 2 Samuel 3:3; 1 Chronicles 3:1). These details point toward yet another somber tone in Abigail's shadowy marriage to this "rich man" of Maon.
Notwithstanding the conditions of that marriage, however, Abigail is not a woman to agonize over her fate. She is no hand-wringer. On the contrary, she is the very embodiment of the resourceful, energetic and "valiant wife" described in Proverbs 31:10–31: loving and patient, disciplined, hardworking and efficiently organized, wise and discerning, endowed with a gentle disposition and pleasant speech. Abigail's household is so well ordered that, with no prior notice, she can promptly put together an enormous meal (including 200 loaves of bread) to feed David's entire army (1 Samuel 25:18). A woman of great practical insight, she acts with dispatch; three times in the one chapter we are told that she "made haste." The attentive reader gains the impression of a woman who decided, years ago, that her very survival would require an energetic but disciplined approach to life.
Abigail & Wisdom's Test
To save her household, therefore, Abigail goes out to meet the outraged David. Sadly, David is not far behind Nabal in his rashness of temper. Vowing an exorbitant retaliation for Nabal's arrogant affront, he too is on the point of playing the Fool (cf. Proverbs 14:17). But then Abigail, acting as David's own personal Lady Wisdom, comes to seek him out,7 giving the "soft answer that turneth away wrath" (5:1), instructing him not to "answer a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him" (26:4). As the personification of Wisdom on David's behalf, Abigail "has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table. She has sent out her maids, and she calls from the highest point of the city" (9:2f.).
In his hour of impending moral peril, then, David's deliverance comes from receiving the instruction of Wisdom (Proverbs 15:32f.). He is thus rescued from an evil course of action that his anger had caused to seem proper (Proverbs 16:25; Ecclesiastes 7:9). The wise Abigail exhorts him to patience and restraint.8 She persuades him to abandon his foolish vow of blood-vengeance9 and to leave retribution to a provident God.
Thus rescued from the edge of destruction, David recognizes and praises Abigail as a woman of sense and discretion. The ultimate, decisive difference between David and Nabal is that the one will listen to Abigail's exhortation and the other will not. The wise man gladly receives instruction and reproof; the fool does not.
Wisdom & the Providence of God
The story of Abigail and David also exemplifies another major literary and theological motif of 1 Samuel: the historical working out of God's messianic purpose, his plan to bring David to the throne of Israel. Indeed, this is the principal and unifying topic of the whole book, introduced early in the canticle of Hannah: God "will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed" (2:10). The provident Lord has determined that David will be the founder of the chosen dynasty. The dominant theme of 1 Samuel, then, is God's Wisdom hidden in the messianic mystery.
In directing the events of history to accomplish this established purpose, however, 1 Samuel shows Divine Providence acting in a purely "secular" way. That is to say, the intricately connected events follow one another as seemingly normal sequences. There are no visible, extraordinary divine encroachments, as it were. First Samuel is not strong on overt miracles. Whatever God does here, he does secretly and from within the dynamics of human activity. The Lord is not portrayed as invading the sphere of human activity in a manifestly disruptive way. Rather, he directs the course of events by means of human decisions and actions.
Nonetheless, God is at work in the story, and things do happen on schedule. God is "with" David (1 Samuel 16:18;17:37;20:13). David kills the lion and the bear (17:36), but it is the Lord who grants him the victory (17:37). Saul's deep depression, which leads gradually to his own downfall and David's rise, comes from the Lord (16:14;18:10). Nor does that smooth stone from the sling miss the brow of the giant, for it is the Lord who delivers Goliath into the hand of David (17:37,45–47).10 On the other hand, Saul's impulsive spear repeatedly strays wide of the mark, while David escapes unharmed (18:11;19:10).
To preserve David and eventually bring him to the throne, God employs the decisions and actions of many persons: Michal (19:11–16), Jonathan (20:1–43), the priests of Nob (21:1–9), the Philistines (19:10–15), the Moabites (22:3f.), an oracle at Keilah (23:9–13), and informers at Horesh (23:15). Still, it is ever God who mysteriously directs the events, and the elder David will later look back to praise his Divine Rescuer (2 Samuel 22:1,18; Psalms 17[18]:7).
This theme of God's deliverance of David is particularly emphasized in the immediate context of the story of Abigail in chapter 25. The latter narrative is sandwiched between two very close encounters of David with Saul, in each of which David is providentially positioned to do harm to the king but patiently forbears. In the first of these stories, in 1 Samuel 24, David gets close enough to Saul to cut off the edge of his garment without being detected. He refrains from harming Saul, however, deliberately leaving all retribution to God (cf. especially verse 12).
In the other story, in 1 Samuel 26, David is able to creep through the enemy camp right up to Saul's head in the dead of night, because "a deep sleep from the Lord descended on them all" (verse 12).11 Once again, though, David refuses to inflict retaliation on Saul, leaving his cause entirely in God's hands (cf. verse 24).
Strategically placed between these two stories of David's patience and restraint with Saul, comes the account of his terrible impatience and planned revenge with Nabal. In this case too, David is once again delivered, not this time from a physical danger, but from an even deadlier moral peril. His providential rescuer on this occasion is Abigail, the discerning and beautiful woman who comes to redirect him to the path of patience and trust in God.
Just as Abigail is the representative of Wisdom here, she also is the instrument of Providence. Her intervention is the Lord's means of preserving David's moral integrity. Both characters recognize this fact, for Abigail tells him: "The Lord has kept you from bloodshed" (1 Samuel 25:26), and David himself confesses to her that the Lord "sent you today to meet me" (25:32). Divine Wisdom thus gives both of them insight into Divine Providence.
As the discerner of both Wisdom and Providence, moreover, Abigail serves here in a prophetic role.12 She perceives God's true purpose in history, foretelling David's ascent to the throne and the founding of his dynasty: "The Lord will certainly make a lasting house for my master" (1 Samuel 25:28; see also v. 30).13 She asks for herself only to be "remembered" by David (25:31), a modest petition that is providentially granted in the marriage that ends this lovely story with both irony and extravagance.14
Abigail in the Church
Christians have approached the account of Abigail from various directions. Some early readers, for example, perceived a special and mysterious meaning in her very name. Probably following the lead of Eusebius's Onomasticon, Jerome accurately discerned that the two Hebrew root words in "Abigail" are ab, "father," and gil, "to rejoice." Putting these together he arrived at the rendering "father of rejoicing."15 His medieval Latin followers, however, settled for something along the more comfortable and sonorous lines of "the rejoicing of my father"; they adjusted their exegesis accordingly. It was not difficult to see, after all, that our heavenly Father would rejoice in the likes of Abigail.16
Nor is it surprising that some Christians should have seen Abigail as a "type" or symbol of the Church. She was, after all, the wife of the anointed David, whom Christians since New Testament times have regarded as a figure and foreshadowing of Jesus the Messiah. Moreover, Abigail was the "more loved" of David's wives.17 So to Ambrose of Milan, for example, it seemed very natural to view the marriage of David and Abigail as a striking symbol of the union of Christ and the Church.18 Some later Latin exegetes followed Ambrose's suggestion with enthusiasm, going on to interpret the sundry details of 1 Samuel 25 with robust, if not always convincing, imagination.19
Nonetheless, I do not think that such an approach is truly representative of the way Christians generally have read the Abigail account. She never really "caught on" as a type of the Church, it seems to me, and I suggest that several reasons would explain this.
First, even as a wife of David, Abigail was not—pace Gregory of Nyssa—the "mother of kings." She did not become the gebirah, "the Lady," the official title of the queen mother.20 Her blood does not enter the royal line at all. In a sense, her story is a single step in the dramatic movement of 1 Samuel and hardly more than a fleeting scene in the biblical narrative as a whole. Unlike Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, Rahab, Ruth, and the "queen mothers" of Judah (all of whom the Books of Kings are careful to name), Abigail is not a biological part of the messianic sequence. Nor is her place in the biblical narrative otherwise sufficiently central to make her a major figure in Church typology later on.
Second, engaging and unforgettable as Abigail appears in 1 Samuel 25, Holy Scripture says quite a bit less about her than it does about quite a number of other women. Her appearance is relatively brief.
Finally, the polygamous context of the account in 1 Samuel 25 puts excessive strain on any sustained attempt to think of the marriage of David and Abigail as a symbol of the union between Christ and the Church. Notwithstanding its adoption by such exegetical giants as Ambrose and Gregory of Nyssa, the theme did not generally prevail in early Christian readings of the story. The great mystic symbolism of marriage outlined in Ephesians 5 presupposes a setting of monogamy, or it otherwise tends to unravel. Polygamy makes tough going for poetry, and Abigail was never David's "one and only."
The Traditional View
I have tried to suggest that the best way to pursue the narrative of Abigail is through the Bible's twin teachings on Providence and Wisdom. Studied simply as components found in the plain meaning of the text, these are the two streams that join the Abigail narrative to deeper springs of Holy Scripture.
This approach to Abigail, however, is hardly new. Indeed, for many centuries her story has been studied by Christians with precisely these two ideas in mind.
First, Divine Providence. Jerome observed that her wise and prompt intervention preserved David from doing what he would later have had to repent of and weep over.21 In truth, however, wrote Procopius of Gaza, when David listened to the counsel of Abigail, he was "prevented by the Providence of God" (pronoia tou Theou) from committing such a sin.22 Moreover, according to Theodoret of Cyr, "divine foresight" (theia prometheia) was just as much involved in the ensuing death of Nabal as it was in the "deep sleep" that overcame the army of Saul in the next chapter.23
Second, moral wisdom. Unlike her foolish husband, Abigail treated David and his men with kindness. In so doing, she exemplified some of the works of mercy listed by Jesus in the Last Judgment scene of Matthew 25.24 Similarly, her turning back the wrath of David, thus keeping him from sin, makes her an outstanding model of prudence.25 Moreover, that same biblical scene also demonstrates a further dimension of her mercy and compassion: she pleads for the lives of innocent people whom David has in mind to kill, even to the point of placing herself at risk.26
Christian readers have noted that Abigail was particularly characterized by her wisdom in speech. More precisely, she knew exactly when to speak and when to be silent, and she discretely picked her occasions for each. In a passage destined to be quoted repeatedly throughout the Middle Ages, Gregory the Great drew attention to the fact that Abigail refrained from sharing with Nabal her view of the family's dealings with David until her husband was sufficiently sober to grasp the significance of their household's dangerous situation:
Wherefore, it was praiseworthy that Abigail did not speak to Nabal about his sin while he was intoxicated, and it was just as praiseworthy that she did tell him about it when he became sober. For it was precisely because he did not hear of his fault when he was drunk that he was afterwards able to recognize it.27
Gregory's sensible and plain assessment of Abigail's conduct in this instance was promptly taken up by his disciple Paterius and placed verbatim into a catena, or chain, of various Gregorian texts arranged as an ongoing biblical commentary.28 The great popularity of this latter work caused Gregory's observation to become a true commonplace among medieval Latin exegetes whenever their discussion turned to the subject of Abigail.29
Wisdom in a Mystery
Abigail's prudence was marked by both activity and insight. She was able both to remedy her family's desperate situation and to discern the deeper purposes of God.30 Her active wisdom was at once moral and messianic. Thus, in a single course of action, she saved her household and effectively furthered God's historic purpose with regard to his chosen king.
We Christians too believe that God's wisdom is revealed in his messianic purpose, which the Apostle Paul calls "the wisdom of God in a mystery" (1 Corinthians 2:7). Flesh and blood, we are persuaded, cannot reveal to us (Matthew 16:17) this "manifold wisdom of God according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Ephesians 3:10f.). In this, God has "abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of his will" (1:8f.).
The wisdom that God shares with his people is the revelation, recognition, and confession of his Messiah, that we "might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding" (Colossians 1:9). Eternal salvation is promised to those who call upon the name of him who is at once David's son and his Lord (Mark 12:37). Thus, the swift, prudent, and discerning Abigail serves as a proper model for those questioned from on high: "What think ye of the Christ? Whose son is he?"
1. I cannot find this text prescribed in the Eucharistic lectionary of any Christian body. In both the Roman Catholic and Episcopal lectionaries for the Daily Office, however, the account is read every other summer, a practice maintained in the Devotional Guide published by the Fellowship of St. James.
2. In the Book of Tobit the antagonist is the demon Asmodeus, while the antagonist in the Book of Ruth (3:12f.; 4:1–8) is never named.
3. Thus, he understands Saul better than Jonathan does (1 Samuel 20:1–3), sees intuitively into Doeg the Edomite (22:22), early suspects the evil that Absalom is up to (2 Samuel 13:25f.), and quickly uncovers the actress sent to him by Joab (14:19).
4. That some uncomplimentary symbolism is intended by this reference was early recognized by the LXX's translating it as "doggish man" ( anthropos kynikos). This variant rendering later led to Flavius Josephus's imaginative assessment that Nabal conducted his life "out of a Cynic discipline" ( ek kynikes askeseos); cf. The Antiquities of the Jews 6.13.6. Salva reverentia (and, I suppose, cave canem), we also may note that the dog and the fool are paralleled in Proverbs 26:11.
5. Jerome likens Nabal to the rich fool in Luke 12:20; cf. his Epistolae 125:10 (PL 22.1078).
6. Cf. the comment on him by John Chrysostom, Homiliae in Philippenses 5 (PG 62.218).
7. Cf. Proverbs 1:20f.; 3:13–18; 4:6–9,13; 8:1–3,10f.
8. Compare 1 Samuel 25:26,30f. with Proverbs 19:11,20f.
9. The Church Fathers approved David's abandonment of his rash vow; cf. Augustine, De Mendacio 9.21 (PL 40.531); John Cassian, Collationes 17.25 (PL 49.1079A). Origen believed that David's minatory resolve in 1 Samuel 25:22 had never been directed against anyone but Nabal himself; Homiliai eis ta Biblia ton Basileion, Athens edition of the Greek Fathers, vol. 11, p. 239.
10. The single-handed combat between David and Goliath, especially the structural juxtaposition of battle with explanatory dialogue, readily puts one in mind of Homer, nor should we forget, in this connection, the probable Cretan origins of the Philistines. In the biblical story, however, God's hidden activity, his deeply secret influence, differs sharply from the open intervention of the gods in Homer's single-handed battles. In this respect, one may both compare and contrast I Samuel 17 with, say, the Iliad 16.783–867; 22.260–365.
11. This sleep, wrote Claude of Turin, "had been infused by the nod of God"— nutu Dei erat infusus; cf. his Quaestiones Super Libros Regum (PL 104.676D).
12. So notes an anonymous fourth century Donatist text edited by Boniface Fischer and published in the Supplementum to Migne's Latin Patrology, Volume 1 (Garnier: Paris, 1958), column 1741.
13. Jonathan had made the same prophecy earlier in 1 Samuel 23:17.
14. Ironic, extravagant responses to simple petitions are a feature of the few "romantic" stories in the Bible that end, like this one, in marriage. Note this extravagance and irony in the accounts of Isaac and Rebecca (Genesis 24:12–15,42–45,50f.), Boaz and Ruth (Ruth 2:4,12,20;3:10), and Tobias and Sarah (Tobit 3:11–15;4:12;6:11f.), where simple prayers are providentially answered far beyond expectations.
15. Pater exultationis—See his De Nominibus Hebraicis (PL 23.812 [1845 edition only]).
16. Venerable Bede , In Samuelem Prophetam 4.4 (PL 91.682A,687D); Rhabanus Maurus, In Libros IV Regum 25 (PL 109.64C); Rupert of Deutz, De Divinis Officiis 2.7 (PL 170.39B).
17. Gregory of Nyssa says agapatai pleion; cf. In Psalmos 2.14 (PG 44.577C). Gregory certainly gets carried away, however, when he claims that Abigail became the "mother of kings"; divine irony reserved that blessing for Bathsheba.
18. Ambrose, Epistolae 31.7 (PL 16.1067B).
19. Venerable Bede, In Samuelem Prophetam 4.4 (PL 91.681-689); Rhabanus Maurus, In Libros IV Regum 25 (PL 109.64B-C); Angelome of Luxeuil, In Libros Regum 1.25 (PL 115.325B-C); Rupert of Deutz, I n Libros Regum 2.13 (PL 167.1113B); De Divinis Officiis 2.7 (PL 170.39B) .
20. Cf. II Kings 10:13; Jeremiah 13:18; 29:2. Derived from the root gabar, "to prevail" (and cognate to the earlier Akkadian gapru, meaning "strong"), the word could be more literally rendered "the power woman." In the polygamous world of biblical history, there was an immense sociological and political difference between a king's mother and his mere wife. To gain some sense of this difference, it will suffice to contrast the ways in which Bathsheba was received at court by her husband David (2 Kings 1:16) and by her son Solomon (2:19). I further, and humbly, submit that grasping the importance of the "queen mother" in the Bible will help explain why Orthodox and Roman Catholic believers see such immense significance in the words of Elizabeth in Luke 1:43: "Whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?"
21. Jerome, Quaestiones Hebraicae in Librum I Regum 25.30 (PL 23.1344A).
22. Procopius of Gaza, In Librum I Regum 25.18 (PG 87.1113A).

26. Peter Cantor, Verbum Abbreviatum, 23 (PL 205.83C).
27. Regula Pastoralis 3.16 (PL 77.77A). Pope Gregory elsewhere expresses the identical view of Abigail's actions; cf. In Ezechielem 1.11.14 (PL 76.911B).
28. Paterius, Expositio Veteris et Novi Testamenti 13 (PL 79.796D).
29. Gregory's observation on Abigail was commonly quoted word-for-word and without credit; e.g., Rhabanus Maurus, In Librum I Regum 25 (PL 109.65C); Walafrid Strabo, In Librum I Regum 25 (PL 113.561B); Angelome of Luxeuil, In Libros Regum 1.25 (PL 115.325B-C); Hugh of St. Victor, Allegoriae in Vetus Testamentum 6.12 (PL 175.696C); and an anonymous work wrongly attributed (cf. Johannes Quasten, Patrology, Volume 4, p. 505) to Eucher of Lyons, In Libros Regum 1.26 (PL 50.1077A).
30. In this respect she most resembles the discerning Rahab in Joshua 2.

James – Hey, ma – Review
English, James, Vícios timbooth Abril 12th. 2008, 1:48am
The album is out. Finally. After a seven year hiatus, a reunion, a tour, a new best of compilation, Hey, Ma is finally in the stores. I've waited almost a week before saying anything about it for two reasons: I haven't had much time to write anything and if I did after one hearing, I wouldn't write the wonderful things that I'm about to write.
I'm re-hearing the album for the millionth time as I write this review, so I will write about each song separately. At least this way I have an excuse to enjoy once again each song with a glass of whiskey in one hand. Let's do it. Glass in one hand, just press play, and start typing.
Bubbles: A soft start for a screaming album. The simple acoustic guitar riff and the steady drum beat open the door to a strangely calm voice of Tim Booth (the original, of course) . This kind of beginning reminds me of the beautiful Out to get you start to the hit album Laid, back in '93. The song starts peacefully but ends in a crescendo of trumpets and keyboards. The lyrics could be interpreted in two ways: the "official" explanation of the birth of Tim Booth's first son or, in a more broad view, the rebirth of a soul, in this case, the soul of a great band. 9/10
Hey, Ma: Third-single material in my opinion. Strong and straight forward political anti-war lyrics (kinda like the old Mother), simple song structure, small chorus and clean instrumentals. It's a simple song, however, a beautiful one. Personally, this kind of lyrics isn't my favourite type: too literal (Hey, Ma, the boys in body-bags coming home in pieces), but I can see the power rising from this song. Tim's great voice isn't well explored yet, except in the last bit of the song. An overall good song, however a bit distant from the rest of the album and the trademark of James. 8/10
Waterfall: It starts with a good drum beat (as always, courtesy of the master Bayton-Power) and after a bit the distinctive Andy Diagram trumpet riff kicks in. A single, surely. A relaxed song about growing up. As the lyrics say, Under the waterfall it's cold and clear, after a certain barrier, all seems much clear. The I'm so cynical bit is a classic Tim's footprint. 7/10
Oh my heart: The first really loud song of the album. It remembers me of such albums as Millionaires with a more common song structure and a really powerful guitar riff in the chorus. That's my favourite part of the song. Tim's voice begins to show itself in this track. It's almost chaotic with all the instruments playing at the same time, and that's the beauty of this song. Not one of my favs, but surely one that will get massive attention. 7/10
Boom Boom: A flavourless all at once start for this song. I'm sorry, but I just can't find the enchantment in this song besides the pre-chorus. The chorus isn't catchy and the guitar is too clean for this sort of song. It wouldn't hurt some distortion in the guitar riff and the trumpet is barely doing it's job. Positive mark for Mark Hunter (nice pun, hey?) keyboards and Saul Davies violin. The song that I dislike the most in the whole album, but a good song nonetheless. 6/10
Semaphore: Great start to one of the quietest songs in the whole album. Beautiful guitar intro. Angst lyrics, although a bit clichètic if there is such a word. The whole music kinda sounds like Top of the world on speed, although it can't achieve that quality. I don't like the fade out ending, but I assume that it was an hour long jam for an ending, which will do marvellous on a live show. Great song. 9/10
Upside Down: A passionate song for the whole gang. The first really passionate song in the album, I would say. Powerful, yet simple lyrics. This is not the cry about Immigrant labour that I've been hearing out there. Come on people, listen to the damn song: My work's about words and sounds you can taste/Violins and trumpets, and chocolate cakes the words "words", "sounds", "violins" and "trumpets" mean anything to you guys? They're talking about themselves and the time they spend away from their families, for God's sake. Stop trying to glue a social commentary to such simple lyrics. I love Tim's start in this song and I simple adore the passionate way he sings this track. It really shows he ments every word he sings. His voice too almost full potential in here and Andy's trumpet, although not very distinctive, really creates a great harmony. Larry's (not sure if it's he or Saul here) solo is as powerful as it is catchy. Truly a great song and the best in the album for me. I would only change that middle soft part, but hey, that's just me. Upside: A great song; Downside: None. 10/10
I just finished my whiskey, so I think I will be briefer in the last bunch of songs.
White Boy: The first single. Very well chosen, I would say. It really shows all their potential, however, it will be very strange for most people and won't get much air time in radios. But it's James at their best. Andy's trumpet is the best in the album, and boy, it is great. Magical I would say, and most definitely, my favourite part in the song. Tim's lyrics are the funnier and most relaxed in the whole album and his voice really shows itself in the chorus. Very good song. Not a perfect 10, because I promised myself I would only grant one, or else almost all the other songs would get 9's and 10's, and that would just mess up the grading system. 9/10
72: The only spiritual song in the album. Not really my cup of tea, I wouldn't apply so many effects to the voice track. A bit funkier than the rest of the album, but a little change is always very welcome. The lyrics are a bit shadowed by the excessive effects, but are really powerful, in the same spirit of the classic God only Knows. It could've been one of the best songs in the cd, but lacks something I can't quite put my finger to. But it's growing on me, I will give it some more attentive listening, maybe my opinion will change. I will let you now if that happens. 8/10
Of Monsters, Heroes and Men: Just love Larry's start to the song. It will mislead you, it's a very sweet song, not the hard rock it may seem in the first second. I haven't heard the lyrics with the attention they deserve, but up until now it seems to talk about the personal quest to surviving to life's minor setbacks (either way, we'll survive). Andy's trumpet it's a bit more lyrical and classical in contrast with the power showed in other songs. It also suits him, he's a great musician. The crescendo end seems familiar but I can't link it to any other song. Maybe to Sound, but I just can't be sure. 9/10
I want to go Home: Starts of with a mix of Saul's violin and some of Mark's keyboard effects. The voice seems a bit out of tune in the very beginning of the song and it's the only negative point to the whole song. The album starts softly and ends homesick (Come Home, anybody?), a recurring theme to Tim's lyrics. They are clearly desperate (sex is NOT overrated, right guys?). It's a first person monologue of a man who's trying to pull himself out of the bottom of a bottle, crying to get his old life back. It's a very pleasing song and a sad end for a great record. 9/10
And that's it. I was really cheap in giving the songs ratings, but I didn't want to seem to partial. To me, they all deserve perfect 10's. I couldn't end this review without mentioning Jim Glennie's steady bass. Unfortunately, in this record, he doesn't show the potential we all known that he has (Sound in the live cd Getting away with it… Live is a great example), but I couldn't afford not to mention the only founding member of the band still in it (if we count the time they lived before being called James, curiously after the man Glennie himself). He's a great bass player and deserves credit for it. And for reuniting my favourite band of all time. Kudos for you, Jim my man.
In overall, it is more than a simple comeback album. It's not their best work, but it's definitely in their top 5. It makes us ache for a next record, with the same formation, after all the engines in the complex machine that is James being well oiled. An overall rating of (drum roll David, please): 8,3/10
Give the album a chance, don't give up on your very first listening, you probably won't like it very much. But a warning is issued: If you re-hear it, it will grow on you.
And I know, such a long post is boring and time consuming to read. But give it a try, I spent at least ten times the time you took reading, writing it. For those brave ones who lasted until the last line of this review, I salute you!

Thanks for this review, man!. It is very useful to me, as a big fan of James. Will find the album soon and will see if my impressions match yours with big interest. So far I heard only Hey Ma and there I agree with you…
And you don't need the disclaimer at the end of this post – it was not consuming nor boring to read. 🙂
Thanks for the time spared in writing this.

Hi Ani!
Please, listen carefully to the album, you're doing yourself a favor! one of the best albuns of all time! I just attended a James concert here in Portugal yesterday and will be posting a review of that show very very shortly, as soon as the time comes to upload photos and videos!
Thanks very much for your comment, I don't get much traffic in this blog, so it's always a joy to see that the few visits I get like my writting. I thank you for the time you took to read and comment on my long review, glad it helped you! If you look on the following post, I've posted my favourite song of this cd, Upside, you should hear it, it's just marvellous. Feel free to drop by anytime!
By the way, my opinions on Boom Boom and in Oh my heart improved! Both songs grown on me!

My opinion: Beautiful songs, but ruined in parts by what seems to be loud mastering taken too far – I hear noticeable gritty distorion where it is surely not intended (especially vocals). Tragic and angering! I hope the "loudness war" ends swiftly as people realise they are ruining their production and irritating people who love their music.

I agree about you changing your mind about Boom Boom. I think in this review you've been a little to harsh on that song, kind of as if you expected it to be the same like the others. So what if the guitar is clean? Not every song has to have a distortion and stuff. I recommend you "The Morning After" album also by James. Probably you've listened it. Lookaway is similar to Boom Boom, although maybe even better.

Just don't forget the aim of the correspondence, and whom you are composing it. If you require the correspondence earlier and have not been in a place to make that type of rapport, do not worry. Make sure the tone of the letter stays earnest, and doesn't go on to develop into desperate. In brief, the correspondence must include info about who you are, what's your connection with the concerned person, length of your connection, what you learn more about the charges levied along with your comprehension of the character of the person. In short, it must be carefully and invisibly written. Always ensure it is written on your organization letter head.
The letter should have a tone of admiration, and must be clear and succinct. Having a personal letter, you're writing a recommendation letter as you understand the man and their personality, rather than because you have got direct experience by using their job or schooling. An individual must recall that a recommendation letter should be exact along with professional. A recommendation letter from employer can earn a major difference at a candidate's probability of obtaining a new job or a seat in a trustworthy educational institution. In several cases, recommendation letters might also be composed by any specific individual who knows you for a lengthy moment. In case that you must write a recommendation letter for a friend or relative, then it may be difficult to put aside personal prejudices, and write a letter that's objective.
If you need a letter on your own, ask somebody who has known you for a lengthy time and can mention optimistic things about you, to write it. If you're requested to write a character letter for court you are in a responsible place to supply a distinctive and optimistic outlook on somebody's character.

Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies & Happy New Year!
Wow, can you believe it? It's December 31, 2012. I can't believe this year is already gone!
How are you all celebrating this evening? I'm staying in with my sons. I'm making chicken wings and other snacks and we are going to watch movies and wait for the ball to drop. Well, at least Jr. and I will be doing that. Big man is here with us through dinner and then he's going to a friends for a little NYE party and overnight.

I want to commit to blogging at least every other day. I love to write and to blog, but sometimes I let other things trump it.
I want to get more followers!
I want to take cooking classes. I plan to attend the free, small classes at Williams-Sonoma and also to look into the classes offered at Sur la Table. There is a local cooking school close by called Le Chat Gourmet and I am already signed up for their Ultimate Pizza Workshop. So excited for that one!
I want to eat healthier and exercise more. I say this every year, but I really want to make it happen. Especially to help teach my kids the importance of healthy eating and getting in their fruits and veggies.
To go along with my last point, I whipped up some banana oatmeal breakfast cookies today. You know, so that tomorrow morning they'll be ready to go. Truthfully though, you can eat these any time of the day. They are that good. And I've already ate two.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or cover with parchment paper.
In a bowl stir together the flour, coconut, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a large bowl, cream the brown sugar and butter together with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated. Add the banana and egg and beat until blended. Stir in the flour mixture, then fold in the raisins and walnuts.
Spoon the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to the rack and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
