The time has come at last, to re-inspect the lecture that was handed to me fourteen years ago: "What's a Girl to Do?" by Douglas Winston Phillips, Esq.
— Insert CD into player. —
::: Sappy medieval banquet-hall music intro :::
(This is not a good sign.)
Here we go……………….
He begins:
"…My pastor, a man by the name of Robert Gifford…had seven children…five of them were girls. And there was something very remarkable and unusual about the girls in this family: they loved being women. They LOVED being women! They were excited about being girls! And you felt it when you came to their home. You felt it, because there was excitement about being a Keeper at Home, being a helper to their father, being a helper to their mother. Working alongside their brothers. There was a spirit of servanthood…there is a story I frequently tell: the first time I came to this family, I sat down at the dinner table, and I was about to clear off my plate, and bring my plate to the sink, when the young girl -thirteen years of age- came up to me and said, 'Oh, I'm happy to do that for you!' and I said, 'No, Dawn,' -for that was her name- 'I'm glad to do it. My mom taught me to clear off the table.' And she said, 'I don't think you understand. I'm a woman of God. And I'm preparing to be a mom, and it's my privilege to do this for you. Please let me clear off your table.' And I thought, 'Where did this girl come from?! Surely this can't be for real!'"
Surely indeed. When before had this privileged young boy been so waited upon by a young woman? What a delightful experience! Had he really never before met a girl who enjoyed being feminine?
The concept of we women enthusiastically embracing our femininity is hardly extraordinary. Neither is the idea of us serving our guests and friends. I have been part of a local Mothers of Preschoolers group for nine years, along with hundreds of 'mainstream'(!) Christian women, and I cannot count the number of times one of them has offered to clear my plate from our brunch table (often I decline because I want seconds 😀 ). This is nothing unusual. I clear my family's and guests' dinner plates, sometimes. It is the spirit of mutual love and servanthood that causes us to behave this way. Not because any of us is obsequious, or because clearing the table is solely the job of a "virtuous woman."
"I am absolutely convinced that the importance of training up a culture of virtuous womanhood, of reinforcing this, of wisely investing our daughters' time in eternal things which will build them up as women of God, is one of the central foundational things we must do, and is one of the biggest gaps in the church of Jesus Christ today. There is a huge hole in our training program; there is a hole in the church. It's affecting us at many, many different levels, and it's because we've assimilated our girls into a culture of manhood, and we've set aside a culture of virtuous womanhood."
When daughters are young, we -fathers and mothers- help direct them in how to wisely spend their days. But eventually, as they grow into adults, they choose how to invest their time. Young women are not intended to live in a state of perpetual blinking childishness, like the fragile and weepy Elsie Dinsmore character we were encouraged to read. A true virtuous woman is wise and strong, and listens to the Holy Spirit as He whispers direction into her heart; this is a culture that we Christian parents most certainly have not set aside.
"There is not a single area of neutrality in the entire universe."
Nothing is neutral? When choosing a paint color for our walls, how do we concur which one is godly and which is sinful? Are the alphabet books we read to our toddlers good or bad? When deciding on which route to take to a destination, how do you discern which is the right one and which is wrong? Is a computer holy or evil? Is a rolling pin of God or of the devil?
Certainly, all gifts come from God. Things like brilliance, talents, tools, and resources: these have been used for great goodness, and also great evil. It all depends on how people -like Nero, Bloody Mary, Saint Patrick, Florence Nightingale, Ted Bundy, Mother Teresa, Billy Graham, and others- choose to use them.
"The family is the basic institution of Dominion. It's through the family that we subdue culture. It's through the family that we influence people."
Nowhere in the Bible does it say this. The Apostle Paul was clearly a single man, and his influence on the world is still felt today. When Jesus sent out His disciples to the towns and villages, there was no mention of their families joining them. The family is absolutely one of the avenues God uses to convey His truth; but it is not the only one.
"That's God's program for the family: that we would be an economically viable, self-sufficient agent for dominion. In the fully functional family, a family has a vision for ministry, for education within the home, for ministry to the poor; that's exactly what the Bible says, by the way, about the family. That the family is the ministry to the poor, that the fully functional family is the. most. powerful. tool of Bible-directed cultural transformation within the church…There is none more effective than the family."
A family is not "fully functional" unless they have their own "self-sufficient" home business? The Bible never says any such thing. A family business or ministry can be a beautiful thing indeed. But to claim that this is a requirement in order to qualify as a Biblical Family, smacks of legalism.
There are many examples in the Bible of God calling an individual out from among his or her immediate family and onto a sacred -often solo- mission. Think Abraham, Esther, Gideon, Samson, Elijah, Elisha, David, Deborah, and John the Baptist.
"The Body of Christ, the church today, has cheated itself of one of the greatest assets for dominion by guilt-manipulating our daughters into the belief that they must act, think, and pursue the lifestyle God intended for men, before they can have self-worth."
"The lifestyle God intended for men:" Gallivanting about, wherever they please, doing as they wish, while their womenfolk dutifully tend the home with nary a moms' night out between them. Pretty sure that is not what God intended. And the only "guilt-manipulating" that is going on here is you claiming that a woman must only "pursue" things in the home as an "asset" of her male overlord.
"The church is impoverished today…we are weaklings…our families are struggling…we're living on two-income families…we are sending our children out to the Canaanites to be educated….the church is in no position to minister to the world….one reason why we are, is because we've tossed our daughters out of the home, and we've relegated the role of womanhood and of mother to something which is passe' of centuries past."
"We are weaklings"? Speak for yourself, buddy.
Training your daughters to grow their wings so they have the strength and wisdom to someday fly out of the proverbial nest, is hardly tossing them out of the home. Deuteronomy 6 stresses the importance of teaching your children about God, but it never says that you must homeschool them. And, in case you haven't seen a map recently, "Canaan" is on the other side of the world; the commute would be too much.
The role of motherhood is actually quite revered in our churches today. What is totally passe', also literally unbiblical? Relegating women to only homemaking; the (in)famous Proverbs 31 woman did far more than raise children and keep house.
"If you are a father, and God has given you daughters, you have the potential for being the most powerful man in the church of Jesus Christ today….there is such a want of godly womanhood, there is such a lack of godly Christian homes, that if you are willing to take the bull by the horn and communicate vision and raise up your daughters for the glory of God, invest their time wisely…people will flock to you from far away to see your family, to see what you are doing…This is a pattern we see throughout Scripture: a way to bring great men into your home, a way to influence others, a way to disciple others, is through the father who has daughters, and he's trained them to have a joyful countenance and joyful service unto the Lord."
Sounds like a male power trip: If you are willing to wrangle your
women girls into complete subservience, then you can lure people to yourself with the shiny promise of ultimate familial power. 'Look at me! What a mighty, godly man am I! You should envy and emulate me! Follow this formula and you shall be as I am!'
"We should not allow in our play life what God would not allow in real life….God says that witchcraft is an abomination. So please, whatever you do, don't play little witch games; don't pretend that sorcery or magic is something fun or cute, or all these fantasy things that girls like to play with today. All these sort of things; don't pretend that this is a good thing. If it's not a good thing in the real world, it's not a good thing in your pretend world. In fact, it's an abomination before God. And it takes us away from the path of training up a young woman to be a serious, energetic, intelligent, fully equipped woman of God."
So, not only does he recommend that you place your daughters inside a narrow compartment of womanhood where their options are few and solely servile; he also sternly discourages make-believe and fairy tales: 'Daughters, you must live like an "intelligent" scullery maid; and don't you dare pretend to be anything other than a scullery maid, or that a fairy godmother will come to your rescue! Because that would distract you "from the path" of serving me!'
Yes, we are absolutely to stay away from witchcraft in real life, which literally is having conversations and dealings with demons, and the occasional chat with a dead person. Like King Saul when he went to the witch of Endor and talked to Samuel from beyond the grave. Samuel was like, "Dude, why are you bothering me?" (Modern paraphrase) It most certainly can be done. But it isn't safe, and God says to leave it alone. Why would anyone want to have discourse with a demon anyway? No thanks. As Once Upon a Time's Rumpelstiltskin often says with his evil laugh, "It always comes with a price, dearie." And that price is never worth it.
As far as fairy tales go, there is probably more truth in one of those than in the entirety of this lecture. That is why these "tales as old as time" continue to mean so much to people: they have timeless lessons of love, hope, self-sacrifice, and defeating manipulative villains.
"God wants a woman fully educated and intelligent; the question is: to what end? Is it to have a career? Is it to have an independent life? Or is it to be a woman of God?"
Obviously you cannot be a woman of God whilst having a career and independence, because the Bible says so……..absolutely nowhere.
"We've got problems today, brethren, and you need to understand the problems if you're going to find the solution. One of the biggest problems we have, that you're fighting against, and that you have to deal with right now, is the reality of the fact that you've got an entire culture -I mean, everything- which is conspiring to belittle Biblical Womanhood. I'm not just talking about Hollywood. I'm not just talking about the magazines. I'm not just talking about television. I'm talking about your local church. I'm talking about your friends. I'm talking about your parents. I'm talking about people who have been assimilated into the culture."
Why are you only talking to the "brethren"? What about the 'sisteren' in the congregation there?
Anyway, conspiracies abound! It's time to pull away from your families, your churches, your friends. Anything mainstream and normal that reflects modern society. Time to put on old-fashioned-style clothes and try to find -or start- a church of "likeminded" people who want to live an isolated lifestyle where your children do not associate with the outside world, and your wives and daughters are kept in their proper obeisant place within the home. M. Night Shyamalan's The Village is the perfect blueprint! I mean, look at how well that story ended.
"We think that the way things are today is the way they've always been, or the way they should be….If you just had the Bible to guide your life, would it be normative that women be the primary providers for the family? Would that be normative? Would it be normative that we train our daughters primarily in terms of a career and secondarily in terms of marriage? Would that be normative? Would it be normative that we put our daughters in an environment where they are competing against, fighting against, men?"
If you say the word "Normative" again, violence may ensue.
As the matter of fact, we do have the Bible to guide our lives. The whole thing. Not little cherry-picked verses that have been twisted and taken out of context for selfish purposes. You do know that the devil quotes the Bible, right? He is the original Twister of Scriptures; apparently sometimes he shares his tricks with people. Go figure.
"How many women do you know who have to bear the curse of the man? Try seventy percent of our culture. Did you know that women are bearing the double curse? This is a tragedy of enormous proportions! It is destroying the church. It is destroying the family. It is killing these women. It is killing them. And it is wrong. Totally wrong."
Dripping with false sorrow, the great Chauvinist successfully convinces hundreds that any sacred calling in Christ other than Homemaking, is equivalent to bondage for a woman.
That is truly a "tragedy of enormous proportions."
"Churches are actually encouraging a form of Christian Feminism."
By "Christian Feminism" you mean taking the Bible seriously when it talks about things like "daughters who were prophetesses," "there is no male or female; you are all one in Christ Jesus" and "be subject to one another," rather than only focusing on submission for women. Good! I'm glad to hear it.
"There's been the feminist view. The satanically-inspired view of the French Revolution, the view that goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden, a view which says, 'You can be as God. You can be by yourself. Individualism. Egalitarianism…What happened when we adopted the nineteenth amendment [women voting], was that we stopped being a nation of families and we became a nation of individuals. Prior to that, the family was represented in the gates of the land by the head of the home. Now the wife cancels the husband; the husband cancels the wife. And you see, this is what feminism has done to you. Instead of thinking as a family unit, as thinking as one, where the two become one and they co-labor together, you think of yourself as 'I'm the wife and he's the husband, and I've got my deal and he's got his deal, and the twain shall never come together.' This is the egalitarian spirit of feminism. The spirit of the French Revolution. The satanic spirit of the devil in the garden. It's exactly the opposite of how God wants us to think."
The wife and husband automatically cancel out each other because they both can vote? Clearly you need to interview more couples about their political views. And your criticism of the very existence of the nineteenth amendment is glaring proof of a deep-rooted misogyny; the Bible never forbids women the privilege of voting.
"You can be as God." Yes, that "individualism" sounds exactly (not) like, "You are an individual created by God."
Speaking of snakes as you were, Jesus called the Pharisees a "Brood of vipers;" He did not appreciate how they hypocritically placed burdens upon the people's shoulders, burdens which they themselves would not even carry. They demanded total submission and obedience, yet exhibited none of their own, "lording it over" the people instead of serving them in brotherly love. Sounds eerily familiar.
"You're a Christian, you call yourself a woman, you're NOT being a keeper at home: You have blasphemed God."
You're a 'Christian,' you call yourself a man; you preach feminine servility while sexually grooming and molesting the young woman who helps care for your children? Who has really blasphemed God?
Anytime a man speaks in front of hundreds of people and pounds his fist angrily over the subject of female submission, it strikes me as suspicious.
Being "keepers" of our households is a joy and an honor. We cherish our husbands, our children, our homes. But God never says that we may only do this. Some of us have other gifts and callings as well. He is not limited in this femininity that He gave us.
"The Bible teaches that a virtuous woman is ALWAYS under the direct authority of a man, with one exception: that exception is for widows with households…the normative pattern of Scripture is that there NEVER is a time when a woman is 'out from under the roof of a father or a husband.' Never. [References Numbers 30]"
Um, nope it doesn't. It never says that. You totally made that up. Cases in point: Miriam, Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, Tirzah, Ruth, Naomi, Rebekah, Deborah, Anna, Mary, Martha, and Lydia.
"Before a woman is qualified to be married, she must demonstrate that she is comfortable, happy, serving her father under his roof because that's exactly what she's going to be doing with her husband. Sons leave; but daughters are given. And there are no normative examples in the entire Bible of fathers sending their daughters out from under their protection and provision."
'I'm sorry young lady; you only scored a D minus on the Marriage Qualification Test. I'm afraid you will have to study harder and take it again.' What a bummer.
There are no "normative examples" of a lot of things in the Bible; that does not mean we are paralyzed from acting on them today. The fact is, when a daughter grows up, she is no longer a child. She is an adult. In our country today, that age is eighteen. As a child, she was required to obey her parents. As an adult, she is still required to honor her parents, but no longer must she take orders from them. So therefore, her father will not be "sending" her anywhere: college, marriage, or the North Pole.
A young woman who follows Christ is wise to seek advice from trusted people in her life such as friends and mentors; these people could possibly include her parents. Ultimately, she will lean into God for direction on where He will send her.
"By the way, there is one example in the Bible of a father who did let his daughter travel out from under the roof of himself. And that's the example of Dinah, who went into a city and was raped. The only example we have of a father releasing his daughter without protection or covering is a case where the girl is raped. And judgement falls on that family. May I suggest to you dads that when you send your daughters thousands of miles away from home for year after year after year, no covering, no protection, not even a local family, or a local church, nothing, you are placing them in peril?"
Let's examine the story of Dinah. She was simply visiting her girlfriends in town; the Bible does not condemn her or say she did anything wrong or foolish. It also never states that Jacob erred by allowing her to go visit with "the daughters of the land." Shechem "took her and lay with her by force," "was deeply attracted to her," "loved the girl, and spoke tenderly to her," and asked Jacob if he could marry her. So why does "judgement fall" upon their family? Because Dinah's brothers deceptively agreed to the marriage, but instead slaughtered the entire male population of that city, stole their goods, then took their women and children prisoners -all supposedly to avenge their sister's honor.
This story is not even close to an anti-college cautionary tale.
"Society was a lot less dangerous then [Titanic era] than it is today."
Was it, now? Nonsense. Society has always been dangerous, in certain areas and situations. In centuries past, it often was not safe for a woman to walk through a city or town alone; on your average American sidewalk today, no one bats an eyelash over it.
"A daughter best prepares for marriage and prepares for her life work by learning to help her father, by learning to contribute to the family, by learning to be an extension of the ministry of her father."
I keep thinking about my new Shark Navigator extension hose. My stairs could use a good vacuuming right now.
"Train your daughters to be your helpmeet, because someday they're going to be somebody else's helpmeet."
The Bible never tells fathers to train their daughters to be their helpmeets. But out of curiosity, how far are you willing to take this concept? It can get creepy really quickly. In dozens of families in this "likeminded community," horrifically, the fathers and brothers have taken it to the point of physical incest.
"God forbid that you should seek independence, the spirit of egalitarianism, the career philosophy; all of these which are satanic, confusion, deceptions."
"Independence" from the bonds of legalism. "The spirit of egalitarianism:" The fact that each of God's daughters is just as valuable and cherished in His eyes as our brothers are. "The career philosophy:" A 'talent' (Matt. 25) that God does not want us to bury in the ground.
God does not forbid any of these things, and your claims about them are the very definition of confusing deceptions.
"Her [Lot's wife] heart was in her own will, her own spirit, the spirit of the age, and she turned back, and she was turned into a pillar of salt."
Apparently he is implying that if we consider doing anything that we enjoy besides homemaking, we will be turned into salt. Looking at colleges? Iodized table salt. Thinking about a job? Kosher pickling salt. Moving out on your own? Pink Himalayan Sea Salt.
What actually happened to Lot's wife? She was lagging behind as they were fleeing the doom of their city, and made the foolish decision to look behind her. Sodom and Gomorrah was going up in flames and lava, Mount Vesuvius-style. If you look at pictures of archaeology digs from Pompeii, you understand how instantaneously people were covered in volcanic ash and molten rock. If you are running for your life, it simply is not worth it to stop and look back, even for a quick volcano-selfie; you may end up a salt-coated human statue.
In conclusion, the real question we are asking is not "What's a girl to do?"
The question is: What, specifically, is a woman to do?
For you and I are no longer girls (as evidenced by my rapidly silvering hair and eye 'crinkles').
The answer for your life, dear sister, is not one that I or any human can give. You must find it in our heavenly Father. What is He whispering to your soul?

"The CDC's new tobacco education campaign could not come at a better time. The painfully real accounts of former smokers featured in these ads will focus public attention on the devastating health effects of tobacco use, encourage current smokers to quit and help strongly combat the tobacco industry's efforts to foster a new generation of addicts.
About one-third of smoking-related deaths in the United States are linked to cardiovascular disease. The stories of two Americans included in this campaign, who suffered from a heart attack and a stroke as a result of smoking, are harrowing examples of how tobacco can ruin an individual's health. The ads highlight a shocking but very realistic fate that could await some current smokers if they continue their tobacco addiction. As the ads emphasize, smoking contributes to 1 in 5 strokes, and your chances of having a heart attack increase every time you light up.
The Surgeon General's report released last week points to strong evidence that tobacco-education media campaigns can help reduce the number of smokers in this country. The American Heart Association believes these graphic ads, coupled with vigorous tobacco control at the state level, will reach not only the adults who smoke, but also will break through to teens and discourage them from ever taking up this deadly habit."

Published at Tuesday, April 23rd, 2019 - 04:58:33 AM. Trekking Poles. By Nanine Blanc.
I have a stronger opinion about extension grips, which sit below the primary hand grip. For easy trails, they're not critical. But when hiking on steep grades, trails filled with obstacles (rocks, roots, big stairs), and off-trail terrain, they offer instant height adjustment without touching the locks.
Most hikers, though, will be unable to overlook a serious shortcoming: They're not collapsible. That means they don't travel well, they're unwieldy when lashed to a backpack, they can't be adjusted for different terrain or outdoor activities, and they're fussy to use with many trekking pole–supported shelters. But if you don't need poles for any of that, you'll fall in love with the FKs—nothing performs better.

Equally powerful are the images of the film's director Josh Fox on his porch strumming his banjo, in the woods on his property, walking by the local stream, and celebrating the pristine beauty of the nearby Delaware River.

Since 2007, when leasing began in Wayne County, Fox's once idyllic rural community has been embattled. And so is a nation divided at a crossroads of energy choice and climate change. But over the last few weeks, that changed for Wayne County. Hess and Newfield, the two major gas companies leasing land there, decided to cancel their leases in Marcellus shale, and move out of Wayne and much of northeastern PA. The companies sent letters stating that they 'have elected to release your lease, thus your lease will not be continued to the development phase,' terminating approximately 1,500 leases covering over 100,000 acres of land."

A Golden Night for Volkswagen Canada at the 2017 CMA Awards
TRACKDDB and DDB Canada took home a gold, silver and bronze award at the 2017 Canadian Marketing Association (CMA) Awards. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the CMA Awards is a national advertising effectiveness award competition that celebrates outstanding creative marketing that deliver results.
TRACKDDB earned a gold CMA award in the direct engagement category for its "Atlas 5m Email" that helped launch Volkswagen Canada's first ever Big-SUV, the Atlas. An email as long as the Atlas itself – a full 5 metres in length reinforced the sheer size of the Atlas with plenty of room to showcase dozens of its innovative features. A big email with big results, "Atlas 5m Email" was the centerpiece of the most successful prelaunch campaign in Volkswagen's history, with 16,500 prospects registered to receive future Atlas updates – 3X the 2017 sales target.
DDB Canada Vancouver's "Found in Canada" campaign for Destination Canada was awarded a silver in the direct engagement category. The campaign aggregated stories that are written in Canada every day by using real Instagram posts to provide Americans with a unique and exciting glimpse of what a trip to Canada could entail. The campaign helped to bring over 13 million American visits in 2016, a 7.7 per cent increase on the previous year.
DDB Canada Toronto's "e-Golf commerce" program for Volkswagen Canada earned a bronze in the direct engagement category. A new initiative for the company and a complete change to its business process, the intent behind the e-Golf commerce program was to determine if consumers would be willing to place a $1000 deposit online for an electric e-Golf model that had never previously been available in Canada, with no idea on cost, timing or drivability. Within the first week of launching the program Volkswagen received 62 deposits.
Celebrating results-based marketing, the CMA Awards is the largest and most prestigious effectiveness awards competitions in Canada. A complete list of 2017 CMA winners can be viewed here.

Grande dame Eileen Slocum dead at 92
Associated Press
NEWPORT, R.I. -- Newport society's grande dame Eileen Slocum, who lived in a Gilded Age mansion along Millionaire's Row and was a former national committeewoman for the Republican Party, has died at age 92.
Slocum had been hospitalized with pneumonia and died Sunday. She had suffered a series of strokes that had forced her to step down from the Republican National Committee earlier this year, said her son, John.
Slocum lived in the Harold Carter Brown House, a Gothic revival-style estate built in the 1890s by her uncle, a member of the wealthy family that established Brown University.
In her later years, she was one of a diminishing number of year-round residents along Bellevue Avenue, also known as Millionaires' Row. Many of her neighbors' homes had become tourist attractions maintained by preservation groups, as their residents died off or couldn't keep up on taxes and maintenance.
"I felt very sad to see, one by one, the owners die," Slocum told The Associated Press in 1993. "But I feel the houses remain as monuments to them."
Still, in the summer, many descendants of old Newport families were back in town. "I see the grandchildren of people I've known here," she told The Boston Globe in 2004. "I am shaking little hands on the beach and saying, 'I knew your great-grandparents."'
In her mansion, Slocum held fundraisers and parties for President Gerald Ford, Sen. Elizabeth Dole and Vice President Cheney. She joined the party's national committee in 1992.
Republican Gov. Don Carcieri called Slocum an extraordinary woman with a command of politics and public policy.
The Boston Globe said she had photos of herself with Ronald Reagan, whom she called "a dear man," and the elder George Bush, who, she said, was "handsomer than his son, but his son's doing very well, I think."
Slocum was born in 1915 in New York City, the daughter of banker Lawrence Gillespie. She married John Slocum, a journalist and diplomat, in 1940. He died in 1997.
Besides her son, Slocum is survived by two daughters, Marguerite Slocum Quinn of Virginia and Beryl Slocum Powell of Newport; 11 grandchildren; and 20 great-grandchildren.

I'm still not feeling the greatest, and its gotten colder here in Bologna and I wasn't going to go out in service today , but I did. And I'm so glad I did, because it was very productive! I met up with Zech & Trevor , and we all went to the "Upper Camp" for studies. Trevor found his study Taiwo.
Zech had a great study in the new listen to God brochure with his study. And I was able to study with the man whom I was very sad to leave the last time, Joseph. He was the first man I met, on the first day of going up to the refugee camp last year. So cool to be back here studying with him again!
He is such a great student, who asks great questions, and is very sincere. He has a family with 4 children back home in Ghana, but went to work in Libya for his family, until the war there. When you show him and reason with him from the truths found in the bible, no matter how he may have thought before, he takes what he learns seriously. Today we talked to him about the memorial , and appreciating Jehovahs gift of the ransom, and how its the mot important day of the year. Even though he before would take the emblems at his church, he was convinced after our study, that that's only for a select few, and not for him. He said at the end of the study, that because Jehovah has told us to remember this event, and to show his appreciation, "I WILL be there" he said strongly. I told him I'll be saving him a seat! I am so thankful to Jehovah for allowing me to study with this sheeplike individual once again, back here in Bologna. Productive day indeed!
All thanks to Jehovah, we have the precious privilege of helping others to learn about him. Last year I was able to serve as a "need greater" in a foreign country for the first time,and saw how "white the fields are for harvesting"( John 4:35). Here's my journey as a need greater...

West Yorkshire, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/13/2012 -- Simpson Millar LLP Solicitors, a national law firm with over 11 offices throughout England and Wales, has just released a substantial amount of in-depth information regarding the Pre-Action Protocol for personal injury claims. The educational guidelines will help clients understand more about the process and what steps they should follow when pursuing personal injury claims.
Overall, the set of guidelines encourages parties to adopt a "cards on the table" approach when getting ready to file a claim. The intent of the Protocol is to allow early, but well- informed settlement of claims and to genuinely provide a satisfactory conclusion to all involved in the dispute. For anyone who was injured in an accident, being familiar with this Protocol will be extremely helpful and lessen the stress they are experiencing.
In general, the Protocol aims to increase pre-action communication between the parties involved in the claim; encourage better and earlier exchange of information to allow both parties to fully investigate the claim and to conduct better pre-action investigations; put the parties in a position to settle the claim fairly and early without resorting to litigation; and enable proceedings to run efficiently and to the Court timetable if and when proceedings become necessary.
As the newly-released article explained, there are a number of elements to this Protocol that the solicitor will have to follow. First, the solicitor must send to the Defendant a letter of claim as soon as possible, notifying him or her of the personal injury claim.
"The letter of claim must include a brief summary of the facts on which the claim is based, an indication as to the injuries sustained by the Claimant, including details of any hospitals attended as a result of the accident, and details of any financial losses sustained by the Claimant," the article noted, adding that it should also provide the Defendant with details of how the personal injury claim is funded—for example, if it is by a "no win no fee" agreement, by insurance, or by other means.
Second, the Defendant should receive two copies of the letter of claim, one for himself or herself, and one to be passed to the insurers. The Defendant/Insurer should acknowledge the letter of claim within 21 days of receipt. The Defendant/Insurer will then have 3 months to investigate the injury claim and to provide the decision on liability.
"The Defendant must inform the Claimant's solicitor if they admit or deny liability and, if liability is denied, they must provide reasons as to why it is denied and provide documentary evidence in support of the denial," the article noted.
Where the Defendant admits liability, the Claimant's solicitor should provide a list of possible experts to instruct to prepare the medical report. The solicitor must also provide the Defendant with a Schedule of Special Damages as soon as possible.
Because the court has the power to impose sanctions on any party that has breached the Protocol, it is imperative that the Pre-Action Protocol is followed as closely as possible. Once court proceedings have been issued, the Court can impose sanctions on those who did not comply with the guidelines. These sanctions include staying/suspending proceedings until the Protocol is followed; ordering that the party in breach of the Protocol pays the other party's costs; where the Claimant has breached the Protocol but succeeded at trial, deprive the Claimant of any interest which may have been awarded on their damages; and where the Defendant has breached the Protocol, ordering that the Defendant pay the Claimant a higher rate of interest on any damages awarded.
"All parties should seek to comply with the Protocol," the article noted.
"It is in both parties' interests to ensure that personal injury claims are settled in a quick and cost efficient manner, when possible, and the Protocol aims to assist in achieving this."

cleaning isn't the struggle I have with the house it is the never ending toys that seem to breed and grow overnight no matter how many times you pick the up you are always finding toys in odd places
Stifler's - posted on 01/06/2011
my biggest struggle is boredom. keeping the house is so repetitive and boring and i'm just not interested in cleaning unless it's sniffing fabric softener. so i pretty much do the bare minimum and make sure the house looks respectable but still, it bores and almost angers me to think about cleaning the toilet or stacking the dishwasher or dusting or any of that. and my kid likes to sit on the vacuum and follow me around messing things up as he goes.
Jeannie - posted on 01/03/2011
Definately the toys. They are everywhere. I have to boys, toddler and infant, and there are a kazillion toys. I could be cleaning the entire house and when im through with sweeping and under the beds and couches I can turn and there will be a pile of toys. haha.
Jessie - posted on 01/02/2011
I have found to keep your house clean is to have only 1 box of toys out at a time if u put the rest in boxes away and swap them over every few weeks it keeps the house from getting clutterd with toys and also only having a few toys helps they dont need so many toys.... also with cleaning the house spend one day getting it spotless send your child of to relatives house for the day and get your house organised its much easier to keep your house clean when it is organised and do your cleaning when youe child goes to bed during the day and finish the rest when they go to bed at night I only spend about 40 minutes a day keeping the house clean because I have a system that works well

my biggest struggle is dishes and laundry. It seems like within one day both sides of my sink are overflowing with dishes and we don't have clean clothes for the next day. I'm not complaining, just answering the question lol :)
Yolande - posted on 01/01/2011
My problem is my husband and I work from 07.00 - 18.00 so there is minimal time for it. We get home and until 20.30 are busy with our 2 little ones (3 and 19 m.o.). By then we are so tired we jsut dont have the energy. And yeah a weekend seems so pointless cleaning. I will have the house spotless at 11.00 and by 16.00 the house is such a mess again especially after the kids have eaten - they are so messy. And my 19 m.o. just doesnt grasp the concept of picking up after himself!
Amy - posted on 01/01/2011
my huge pots/pans. i will do a load of dishes in the dishwasher, but my two year old wants to help sometimes with hte pans and makes a HUGE mess. So I keep thinking I'll just wash them m yself at naptime. two days later after they go to bed, i go, ugh. yep. whoops. time to wash them.
Brianna - posted on 12/31/2010
the house never stays clean... you clean it all up then a couple hours later its a mess all over again. when my hubby is on days off he complains about the house being messy then when hes working he makes huge messes for me to clean up like when he makes food for himself ugh
Cheryl - posted on 12/31/2010
i feel the same way. Our house is in a remodel so we dont have much storage space right now, cant wait till it is done, whenever it gets done.

My struggle is finding the time to do it. I try to get everything clean and it always seems like there is so much stuff.

Cleaning is Simple, My biggest stuggle is My two Boys who like to make mess lol. But hey thats Normal, I guess I could stand my ground a bit, But Maybe I should do it at night so when the boys sleep I can get everything done.
Amy - posted on 12/30/2010
My back and hips just hutting! I have about 12 more weeks. I have a 16 month year old who lets say scatter toys form one end to another so by the time i get it picked up I am ready to sit down and be done. Lately I just stoped worrying about the toys and conseterated on other things but its so heard.

Okay...so my family moved into my parents house and my fiance no longer sleep eats like I as mentioned in my previous post....now, my biggest struggle is everyone else!!! My partner actually picks up his messes now!! Nobody else does though... I am constantly picking up my dads shit, my sister's shit and my mom's jackets....nobody in this house believes in using the closets!!! all the jackets end up hung over the chairs, on the ottoman or on the couch! the mail doesnt go in the new mail stand I introduced, it goes strit on the counter and stays there, even junk mail. The dishes pile high and my sister doesnt wash them even though she's home all day! their dog sheds like crazy and does anyone vacuum?!? ME. lol. I feel like an over worked maid in their home, there are 5 adults in this house and I am the only one worried about keeping the house clean and organized
Jennifer - posted on 12/17/2010
It's the lack of time and energy. Whenever I do get any time, I try to cram in sleep so cleaning is not my highest priority, unfortunately.
Amanda - posted on 12/14/2010
The picking up the pile of multiplying toys, cleaning pee on, off and around the toilet seat, my husband and three year old are the worst ( i have always told myself if we ever buy a house im puting a urnial in all the bathrooms), my husband works nights sowhen hes off he stay up late ( 3am) and when i get up i have to deal with food, dishes, trash, and clothes, having to clean 2-3 hours a day with a 3 year old and a 20 month old who brings everything back out that you pick up, on top of everything else i have to do grocery shop, cook and laundry, If i got paid I'd be rich but acording to my husband its not a real job
Heather - posted on 12/12/2010
I think it is keeping things tidy and the constant battle with once the kids have played with something, trying to teach them to put it away. I also feel like keeping ontop of the family's washing (not so much the washing part, but the folding and putting it away).

My biggest struggle in keeping my house clean is having to deal with changing out the 5 trash cans, and having to clean the urine sprayed on the base of the toilet by my 5yr old. I believe he is out to get me. :) The struggle I have to keeping things healthy is the lack of motivation on my part. I'm too lazy sometimes. I have good days, and bad days. Just taking it all one "second" at a time.

I have a 7 month old, just found out we're expecting #2 and a couple months ago we asked hubbys 19 year old step brother to move in with us because his situation with his mother (not my mother in law) was TERRIBLE so for the time being (we are moving in 2 months to a 3 br apartment) He lives in the living room and sleeps on the hide a way bed. It's alright because they work together but every night baby and I are hiding out in the bedroom while the boys play call of duty zombies and drink beer and curse the tv *shakes head* and every morning I get up to beer bottles/cans half eaten food, dirty dishes and crushed crackers/chips/popcorn all over the damn place and with my morning sickness I'm in bed with the baby till 12 then i have my shower eat and clear away all the garbage and then at 5 the cycle begins again. David remembers what ny temper was like last time I was preggo though and I told him smarten up or I'll throw them both out lol!
Kate - posted on 12/07/2010
My biggest struggle is being stuck in a house that both my mother and I own half of and out of the 4 adults that are living here being the only one to clean the common areas (husband has a hard time cleaning up after some one he can't stand).
Being the only one who cleans, working full time, going to school part time, chasing after my 3 1/2 year old son and being all pregnant don't really go together.
But my mother is holding us hostage in this house and will not buy me out. URG!
Rosie - posted on 12/07/2010
Cleaning my apartment isn't my struggle either. My 3 year old daughter enjoys playing with her toys on thee carpet, but she puts away her play things afterwards. Slowly, but surely she will desire to organize just like me.
Amy - posted on 12/06/2010
Come the next day you don't even know that I just cleaned that room the day before. So frustrating!! I think its the fact that as soon as something is put away with in minis it out and scattered all over again. How can one do any of the vacuuming, dished, sweeping and moping and all that when you are Constancy putting things back lol. I fainly found out computer desk now how long is this going stay? It better that is all I think or I am going on strike lol jk.

Being im my last month of pregnancy and having problems with my hips and abdominal muscles, plus having 3 boys running around and my husband. it deffinatly makes keeping my house the way I want an impossibility. I tend to be a little OCD when it comes to my house so I am going insane. I am looking forward to my body being normal (more or less) again so I can start to keep up with my daily routine again
Micah - posted on 12/02/2010
My biggest struggle is energy. It's up and down all over the place in the third trimester of this pregnancy. My mind is more on fire than my body (in more ways than one!) I just can't seem to get all the things I want to get done.
Practically speaking, the bathrooms... I try to clean them each Monday. But lately, I either clean the showers or the toilets, not both. Yuck, I hate to admit that. I just don't have the energy for both bathrooms, sinks, toilets, showers and floors in one day.
So, if you're like me- pregnant and procrastinating- DON'T WORRY. One day...
Iysha - posted on 12/02/2010
My Fiance. He sleep eats and every morning I wake up and the kitchen had crap all over it. Once I found the tub of butter on the counter with a fork in it...gross. Usually there are slices of bread, spilled drinks, cookies, melting ice cram and such on the counter. The other big challenge is our dog...she tears up everything so i have to vacuum 2 times a day =[

omg no matter how hard i try to keep our house clean and tidy it dont stay that way it so fustrating when bad enough ppicking up after two girls one boy partner no help just helps make more mess what ticks me off the most is how hard is it to take your clothes to or in the washing mashine lol
[deleted account]
Nothing. Now that I am not working nights I have more energy through the day. My girls pick up after themselves even if I have to remind them constantly and my 3 yr old cleaned her bedroom by herself last night so I see the end in sight. I won't have to worry about teaching a baby or toddler to pick up their toys anymore. (both good and bad since I love having kids)
Lisa - posted on 09/22/2010
biggest struggle is the men/boys. They think throwing their cloths on the floor is acceptable! Boys have to constantly clean their room, husband has to be trained to not leave his clothes everywhere.
my actual issue right now is just having too much stuff in too small a place and not having a place for it. we are building a shed, and once the shed things are gone, then it will just be the daily grind of picking up after two little ones who crawl through the house flinging things around, and the endless supply of cheerios on the floor...

I thought I'd bring you some free entertainment to start your Friday with, compliments of the news media and some professional shrinks who may or may not have sold their souls for a little Big Food/Big Pharma bribery....
Did you know that there is a new movement to consider "raw, clean, and Paleo" eaters mentally ill?
I kid you not. Feel better when you eat clean? Enjoy "superfoods" like chia seed smoothies or kale? Resent consuming, let alone paying money for chemical and GMO-laden crap? Plan to be diagnosed with "orthorexia nervosa" - the new "health food eating disorder", nominated by some for inclusion in the next edition of the DSM-5 (the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual).
You can check out the article here. I won't really rant any more than that, because it's so ludicrous already I don't even have to. Enjoy your weekend, and remember - watch out for those veggies! You don't want to eat too many and have people start thinking you're crazy.... :P

How much does your Building Weigh,Mr Foster
This admiring, hugely enjoyable, largely uncritical documentary on Norman Foster follows the career of Britain's most successful living architect, from Manchester, where he was born quite literally on the wrong side of the tracks (a railway line separated his parents' working-class home from a prosperous middle-class area), via Yale to international renown. Foster is an eloquent speaker with a touch of Lancashire in his voice, a likable man, who uses a sketch pad as a way of thinking, and we get to see stunningly photographed images of his work from Manhattan to Beijing, including his breathtaking Millau Viaduct over the Gorges du Tarn.

Sporting KC golazo gets 'Gooooooaaaaal' treatment from Spanish TV
Sporting Kansas City lost Friday night at Real Salt Lake, but there was a goal-of-the year candidate.
Benny Feilhaber's long-range strike was a golazo (an amazing goal, for the uninitiated, like Chicago Fire fans).
Here is Feilhaber's beauty as called by a Spanish-language broadcaster:

For several years, I've enjoyed photographing Austin clients and friends around the world. I love meeting people, and working together toward a common vision, and have made many wonderful friends. Now, I capture life, mission and greater experiences that profit youth in Central America and around the world.
My heart has always been for youth, and I love the way they still believe they can change the world. And I believe they will. In Summer 2014, our family relocated to Central America, living in the mountains in Costa Rica on the East side.
As I shoot images and tell stories, my prayer is that it will benefit the kids of Costa Rica, kids that have no voice, and empower kids that have something to say through their expression of art. We teach youth the art of Photography & storytelling. I've been blessed to work with amazing organizations and projects around the world in the United States, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Africa, Costa Rica and some of the most desperate locations in Mexico. Capturing the hope and persevering hearts of many around the world has impacted our own life in many ways, and assisted these organizations in the achievement of their own goals, as well.
We are invested in missions to all the nations, and for any shots, work, prints you would like to purchase, all proceeds now benefit youth in Costa Rica and in Central America.
We've enjoyed shooting for organizations like Noonday, Restore International, Juntos Servimos, Teethsavers, Young Life | Vida Joven, Sisters of the Sacred Heart for Jesus, and Kidnits. Our shots have been featured in CRAVE, a showcase of women proprietors, Rachel Ray Magazine, August issue 2009, Mom Magazine, Origins Magazine 2015, Cover shot on 'A Path Appears', a book about transforming lives by Kristof & WuDunn (Authors of #1 bestseller, Half the Sky), and other locations both online and offline. Past work includes several Austin businesses including the ladies of Austin Tidbits, Homeslice Pizza, Toy Joy, Taco Xpress, Liz James, Urban Betty, Austin Convention & Visitor's Bureau, and Fire Tree Studios and many more.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a key part of any content marketing system. Not least because this is the process by which you can ensure that pages are optimised, for the best ranking position in the search engine results.
In response to this important role that SEO plays, many software developers have created tools and plugins to try and make the job easier.
However sometimes as bloggers and especially marketing bloggers, we can become a little too dependent perhaps on these tools, and want them to do many of the routine and manual tasks for us.
Perhaps at this point we need to ask two important questions.
- Have we can become a little bit too reliant on tools and plugins?
- Do we expect that these tools will do all the work for us?
These questions are especially important when we look at things such as SEO, which needs to be done right in order to be successful. So in this article I want to look at some of the SEO plugins available to WordPress users and explore what the main gaps might be, in using them.
WordPress is an amazing platform that has been used by marketing businesses for a number of years. One of the biggest advantages it offers is the wide array of tools and plugins that are designed to make our life easier.
The only real challenge then is to determine which are the best plugins for the job required.
SEO – What to Look For.
Before I actually look at the individual plugins for SEO, it is perhaps important to understand what a plugin will be giving you, in order to enhance your SEO content writing skills.
Most plugins focus on the technical SEO or on-page SEO techniques. The following list highlights features that are common to the main SEO plugins.
- Meta Description and title
- Keywords
- Google search snippet
- No-follow / no-index options
- Ability to verify Google and Bing Webmaster tools
- Xml. sitemaps
There are other options but these become more specific to each different plugin.
It is perhaps in these other areas that the true differences between the tools starts to emerge.
WordPress Plugins Yoast Versus All-In-One SEO
Although WordPress does offer a number of plugins to assist in different aspects of SEO (more about those later), the two main plugins that cover all the basic elements of SEO are WordPress SEO Plugin by Yoast and the All-in-One SEO plugin.
Most reviews of these two products go head to head, but the one word of advice I would give at this stage is that experienced content marketers will do their SEO optimisation manually, regardless of the plugins on the site.
So neither plugin should replace SEO work. Both offer slightly different approaches to enhancing or supporting that work, depending on your own strengths in this field.
The All-In-One SEO plugin is what I use on this site, but I will be honest I don't tend to take too much notice of it on a day to day basis.
The screenshot below shows some of the features that you can easily alter to adjust your display and description (Meta Tag), that appears with your search result. However just because you specify a description this does not guarantee that Google will use it, since the search engines adjust descriptions to match individual search queries.
The main advantage that I find with All-in-One is the ease at which you can add site maps and analytics tools, but this is a personal preference. I have heard complaints and arguments against both types but I must confess that I have never had a problem to date with it.
An article on the two plugins in Website Magazine outlines some of the differences between the two (albeit with a slight bias towards Yoast), they also published a response from the All-In-One support team.
I started my blogging career using Yoast, and I know from discussions that these two plugins are strongly contested.
Originally I quite liked the colour co-ordinated assistance which showed which areas are SEO complete. At the bottom of the WordPress editor this is the screen you will see.
As you can see the colour coding highlights areas that are SEO good (green) through to areas that need to be amended (red). There are some difficulties though with this system as I later discovered.
- It can become very distracting and the temptation is to be guided completely by the plugin, instead of focusing on the quality of content being written and the reader's experience.
- There has been criticism that the plugin is not always up to date with Google's (or any other search engine's) requirements for ranking. This means that striving to achieve all green buttons can be counterproductive, since they don't all affect ranking.
I have also read a lot of complaints about setting up site maps with Yoast and many All-In-One users who convert to Yoast often revert back due to complications. All-In-One has the advantage of automatically informing Google and Bing when new posts are published, which in turn often results in quicker crawls and ranking.
However for a new user starting out, Yoast does have a lot more detail on its page analysis that many beginners find useful.
Which SEO Plugin to Use?
In the Yoast versus AlIn-One debate it depends on your experience level and how much technical support you feel you need. The main disadvantage of Yoast is the limited site map facility which as you become more experienced is important for quick page ranking.
The main disadvantage of All-in-One is it has a less technical layout and functionality, which is better suited to slightly more advanced SEO writers.
Other SEO Plugins
There are a number of other plugins that you can use to enhance your SEO value, this can include managing your social media shares, enhancing web site comments or quickening web site speed. These are some of the main plugins that I use on this site.
- Hupso Share Buttons – [hupso] I use these to provide the social media links above and below each of my posts, except in this one because you can move them to wherever you want in your text (I hope you will try them out!).
- WP Smush – This plugin optimises your images to increase site load time. It has good reviews but this is a new plugin for me so I haven't had a chance to try it out fully. However, as I have now got a number of Google warnings all related to site speed I have decided to see if this is as good as it sounds (will keep you posted)
- WP Spamshield – is an anti spam plugin that does away with captcha, and makes comments easier to leave for readers, but still blocks spam from your site. I changed to this a while back and love the easy user interface. In SEO terms engagement is an indicator of an active site and a valuable opportunity to keep content updated, so making life easier for readers is a good SEO tactic.
There are numerous other plugins available on WordPress that I haven't tried yet but might seriously consider reviewing in more detail in the future, three of them I have found are;
- SEO Friendly Images – which automatically adds alt text and descriptions into your images.
- SEO Ultimate – is another SEO plugin that provides many of the features mentioned in Yoast and All-In-One
- SEO Wizard – managed by SEO.co.uk it is another generic SEO tool suitable for WordPress
Conclusion SEO Plugins
SEO is a learned skill and ultimately there is no one SEO plugin that will do everything for you. As you progress and develop new skills different plugins will provide different attractions, so it isn't a one off process.
The two main plugins I considered for SEO were Yoast and All-In-One.
- Yoast – great for beginners and people that prefer a little more support and reassurance, however it shouldn't be relied on totally as it isn't always up to date with search engine changes.
- All-In-One – a simpler format and probably preferred by more experienced SEO writers who don't want too much distraction. Sitemaps are better structured with this plugin making it easier for Google and Bing to respond to new posts.
The other plugins are useful but there are literally hundreds more at WordPress, so keep trying them out and see what works best for whatever you need.
Remember to check for compatibility with existing software, as not all plugins work together.

Watch: Donald Trump takes shot at Colin Kaepernick being out of a job
Two weeks into NFL free agency, Colin Kaepernick is still without a job for next season, and the controversial quarterback's ongoing struggle to land a gig has sparked the interest of President Donald Trump.
Speaking at a rally in Louisville, Ky., on Monday, Trump took multiple shots at Kaepernick and cited a Bleacher Report article to fire up his Republican supporters.
"Your San Francisco quarterback — I'm sure nobody's ever heard of him," Trump began to a series of boos toward Kaepernick. "There was an article today, it was reported, that NFL owners don't want to pick him up because they don't want to get a nasty tweet from Donald Trump."
"I said, 'If I remember that one I'm gonna report it to the people of Kentucky — because they like it when people actually stand for the American flag."
Bleacher Report spoke to an unnamed AFC general manager — not owner, as Trump claimed — on Friday who said some teams fear the backlash from fans and Trump while others flat-out don't like him in the aftermath of his anthem controversy last season.
Kaepernick reportedly plans to stand for the national anthem next season, but it likely won't stop heedless comments from Trump.

2nd Amend.
WV Governor VETOES Constitutional Carry Bill
West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin (D) has officially vetoed a bill that would have made WV a constitutional carry state.
Tomblin issued the following statement:
"Throughout my career, I have strongly supported the Second Amendment, as demonstrated by my repeated endorsements and high grades from the National Rifle Association. However, I must also be responsive to the apprehension of law enforcement officers from across the state, who have concerns about the bill as it relates to the safety of their fellow officers.
It also would eliminate the required gun safety training courses for those applying for a concealed carry permit. In light of these concerns and in the interest of public safety for all West Virginians, I have vetoed Senate Bill 347."
According to WV Metro News he further added:
"There comes a time when you've got to make a decision and it's one that, even since the bill's passed, I've had a lot of legislators call me and urge me to veto the bill," Tomblin said.
"Even though the numbers may have said one thing on the board, I think there's different feelings among the legislators when it comes down to actually signing the bill into law or vetoing the bill."

Marty Lederman and OLC Independence
SOmething bound to be humorous is what the new OLC will do when the Obama higher-ups tell them to modify their memos. Already, the AG has said he will ignore one of them (on the constitutionality of the DC-in-Congress bill). For future reference, this Marty Lederman blog post will be useful. It says:
At this point, Alberto Gonzales nevertheless insisted that Levin include in his December 30, 2004 opinion the footnote (No. 8) about how the legal analysis did not affect all previously approved techniques! It's not clear why Levin assented to this — it's an outrageous and inappropriate thing for a White House Counsel to do — but the footnote was included
First, I should note that Lederman gives no sources his claim, even though he considers the action outrageous and noteworthy. So maybe he made it up. Whether he did or not, though, he is on record as objecting to the OLC modifying, even by the addition of clarifying notes, its memos in response to comments from other government agencies. We'll see if he objects the next time the State Dept. or Treasury suggests that one of the OLC memos could use an extra paragraph, or has omitted a relevant case.
Recall that one of the criticisms of the Yoo torture memo, though maybe not one made by Lederman, is that it was not widely circulated for comment within government and was thus deprived of input that would have improved its legal reasoning. If he had circulated it, and the State Dept. had given Yoo convincing evidence that his analysis of the president's wartime powers went too far, would Lederman have called it outrageous if Yoo had dropped that part of his memo? I myself think that is a good criticism, and see no problem with the OLC responding to comments from any source whatsoever.

This is the case because teleosts possess a preglomerular complex, an elaborated migrated agglomeration of nuclei related to the posterior tuberculum absent in mammals.

Facing Forward: Art and Theory from a Future Perspective
Edited by Margriet Schavemaker, Hendrik Folkerts and Christoph Lindner
This spirited exploration of the interfaces between art and theory in the 21st century brings together a multidisciplinary range of viewpoints that converge on an imagined future of the ´contemporary´. The authors in this volume examine contemporary visual culture based on speculative predictions and creative scientific arguments. Focusing on seven themes – Future Tech, Future Image, Future Museum, Future City, Future Freedom, Future History, and Future Future – the book shows how our sense of the future is shaped by a visual rhetoric of acceleration, progression, excess and destruction.
The essays reflect the collaborative work between the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis at the University of Amsterdam, de Appel arts centre, W139–Space for Contemporary Art, Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam (SMBA), and the art magazine Metropolis M in the shaping of the seven themes that formed the structure of the successful lecture series Facing Forward: Art & Theory from a Future Perspective (2011/2012) and this eponymous volume of essays. Discussing these provocative themes, Facing Forward is an energetic look at how our visions of the future affect how we depict the world around us today.
Authors: Amber Case & Manuel Delanda (Future Tech), James Elkins & Jalal Toufic (Future Image), Iwona Blazwick & Hans Belting (Future Museum), Rem Koolhaas & China Miéville (Future City), Paul Chan & Hito Steyerl (Future Freedom), Amelia Jones & David Summers (Future History), and (Future Future).
