Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am interested in becomeing a family lawyer but I'm not sure what I should major in college or how to go about looking for a law school afterward.
Your major is not as important as developing good communication skills, including writing. Law school is normally 3 years for day students and 4 years for night students. The most expensive law schools are not necessarily the best investment. Los Angeles has numerous law schools beyond the "big names" (UCLA/USC) such as Southwestern and Loyola, and all produce fine lawyers.
The above is general legal and business analysis. It is not "legal advise" but analysis, and different lawyers may analyse this matter differently, especially if there are additional facts not reflected in the question. I am not your attorney until retained by a written retainer agreement signed by both of us. I am only licensed in California. See also avvo.com terms and conditions item 9, incorporated as if it was reprinted here.Ask a similar question
Any college major would do, but if you have a hard time deciding, you could major in Political Science. You should take life one step at a time, instead of planning your entire life at once. Things will change with time, and you'll need to adapt to the changes. Before you look for a law school, you'll need to check your finances to determine what you can afford, determine what law schools your undergraduate grades will qualify you for, whether you want to go to a local law school or a law school in another state, and what quality of law school you want to go to. Ask lawyers, teachers, friends, and family about what law schools they recommend and why. Then apply to a number of law schools, because admission is not guaranteed.
Please note that this answer does not constitute legal advice, and should not be relied on, as each situation is fact specific, and it is not possible to evaluate a legal problem without a comprehensive consultation and review of all the facts and court pleadings filed in the case. This answer does not create an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
If you are particularly interested in Family Law, psychology or even systems theory will come in handy. The problem is many many family lawyers are solos so finding a firm to work in as an apprenticeship may be tricky at best.
I'd see if you can find a friend or family member who might give you an unpaid internship before you eve apply, so you can see if this really is a fit. Be aware there are a high number of unemployed law school grads out there.

Too many to be worth it! :) Kidding. 4 years for college and 3 years for law school. The most important thing you should be concerned with are your grades in college and your LSAT score, as those will be extremely important in which law schools accept you, and also how much money they will give you to attend their school. Remember that it is a cost-benefit analysis. You may decide to go to a lesser ranked law school because they are offering you grant money to attend, or you may go to a top-ranked law school and be in debt for the rest of your life! :) It all comes down to the money, if you ask me. Law school is very expensive. Given that new graduates are coming out of law school with $150,000 in student debt, you need to be very careful and strategic in where you decide to go. Good luck to you!!! I think it is a worthy endeavor. I love being a family law attorney, and hope you will too.

Hundreds of communities in the South-East are "ghost towns" because of the mass closure of shops, banks and other high street services, it is claimed today.
The opening of "fake local" stores in villages and towns by big supermarkets such as Tesco and Sainsbury's is driving out long-established independent rivals, says the New Economics Foundation.
This, the independent think-tank says, is forcing more and more people to drive to big chain stores where prices are often higher than in the markets, butchers, bakers and greengrocers they have replaced.
The report - Ghost Town Britain II: Death On The High Street - says 50 specialist stores are closing a week, while one general store a day is shutting down. Banks, pubs and pharmacies are also vanishing.
The more independent stores that shut down, the less passing trade there is for survivors, the report says, creating a vicious circle of closures - and this leads to the loss of individuals who are active in community life.
"You don't get that from a spotty 17-year-old geek at a supermarket till," says one person involved in the report.
Researchers find that a new Tesco Express or Sainsbury's Local means a loss of 30 to 40 per cent of business for other shops. The "big five" supermarket chains account for more than 80 per cent of food sold in Britain. Tesco accounts for a quarter.
One north London resident quoted in the report says: "Sainsbury's Local might look like it has more choice but that is an illusion. There is a larger range of many products at my tiny Turkish local."
Report co-author Andrew Simms said: "We are witnessing the death of small, independent retailers. A retail feudalism is emerging as a handful of brands take over. Unless it is challenged, we will face a commercial one-party state."
The problem is acute in the South-East, the report says, because the large number of London commuters means much local money is spent in the capital.
But a Sainsbury's spokeswoman rejected the report, saying: "We work with independent rural stores and have helped them increase sales by £1.5 million in the past five years."
A Tesco spokesman said: "A Tesco store is more likely to stimulate the local economy than damage it."

MSNBC's primetime darling Rachel Maddow has an obsession with attacking conservatives, especially if they are associated with the presidency of George W. Bush. Whether it's using her nightly program or her appearances across the NBC platform, Maddow seems to never miss an opportunity to attack former Bush officials.
Appearing as a guest on the company's Late Night w/ Seth Meyers on Tuesday March 12 for some much needed free publicity, Maddow, who recently had a cameo appearance on the popular Netflix show "House of Cards", chose to obnoxiously compare the fictional character of Frank Underwood to former Vice President Dick Cheney. Speaking to Meyers, Maddow joked how "In real life I don't feel I discomfit villains ever. I've spent my entire life trying to annoy Dick Cheney enough into talking to me." [See video below.]
Maddow continued to attack Cheney and noted how the former vice president has "Never noticed my existence. But there's Frank Underwood, TV villain. And he was so annoyed he turned me off mid-sentence. It's like -- thump-thump, thump-thump. I finally upset somebody worth upsetting. Thank you, Jesus!"
It should come as no surprise that the liberal Maddow would compare Dick Cheney to the "villain" Frank Underwood, but Meyers didn't think her insulting comment to be worthy of any pushback and instead chose to laugh with Maddow at the insulting "joke."
After congradulating Maddow, Meyers cheered on his NBC colleague and encouraged her to "keep trying to upset regular people, too...not just fictional ones. You do a great job." Earlier in the segment, Meyers praised Maddow's role as host of MSNBC's 2012 election coverage, beaming at the "very good job" she did running MSNBC's liberal election results programming.
See relevant transcript below.
Late Night w/ Seth Meyers
March 11, 2014
1:20 a.m. Eastern
SETH MEYERS: Real quick, I think like a lot of people I watched "House of Cards" over the course of one afternoon.
RACHEL MADDOW: Right.
MEYERS: You made a cameo as yourself in "House of Cards."
MADDOW: Yeah.
MEYERS: Is it weird to, like be -- like to get cast as yourself?
MADDOW: Well, yeah. It's like, how do I act like myself? Do I seem like myself? Oh, no, that's not me.
MEYERS: Yeah.
MADDOW: Like I don't know how to act.
MEYERS: Right.
MADDOW: It was really cool to be asked. I'm so into -- I'm so into "House of Cards," like I watched the British one, too.
MEYERS: Yes.
MADDOW: I'm obsessive about that.
MEYERS: Yeah, I've watched the British one, too. We have so much in common. Please just rethink it. Please rethink it.
MADDOW: No.
MEYERS: Okay. Same haircut!
MADDOW: No! I'll send your wife a note.
MEYERS: Okay, great. You were great in it. And I really liked though, you've got the best thing, which is you made Frank Underwood, like, roll his eyes and turn off the TV.
MADDOW: That's the thing!
MEYERS: That's the kill shot.
MADDOW: Like, in real life I don't feel I discomfit villains ever. I've spent my entire life trying to annoy Dick Cheney enough into talking to me.
MEYERS: Right.
MADDOW: And he's never noticed my existence. But there's Frank Underwood, TV villain. And he was so annoyed he turned me off mid-sentence. Its like -- thump-thump, thump-thump. I finally upset somebody worth upsetting. Thank you, Jesus!
MEYERS: Well, congratulations. I am so happy and keep trying to upset regular people, too.
MADDOW: Thank you.
MEYERS: Not just fictional ones. You do a great job. You can watch "The Rachel Maddow Show" weeknights at 9 on MSNBC. Rachel Maddow, everybody.

text: Moonstruck: How Lunar Cycles Affect Life By Ernest Naylor 2015 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0198724217 | PDF | 2 MB Throughout history, the influence of the full Moon on humans and animals has featured in folklore and myths. Yet it has become increasingly apparent that many organisms really are influenced indirectly, and in some cases directly, by the lunar cycle. Breeding behaviour among some marine animals has been demonstrated to be controlled by internal circalunar biological clocks, to the point where lunar-daily and lunar-monthly patterns of Moon-generated tides are embedded in their genes. Yet, intriguingly, Moon-related behaviours are also found in dry land and fresh water species living far beyond the influence of any tides. In Moonstruck, Ernest Naylor dismisses the myths concerning the influence of the Moon, but shows through a range of fascinating examples the remarkable real effects that we are now finding through science. He suggests that since the advent of evolution on Earth, which occurred shortly after the formation of the Moon, animals evolved adaptations to the lunar cycle, and considers whether, if Moon-clock genes occur in other animals, might they also exist in us?

In Night of the Fight: Hatton's Last Stand (ITV4, Wednesday) we hear about Ricky the Hitman's other bouts, of depression, drink, drugs and attempted suicide. And that's just in the opening credits. The boxer has recently published an autobiography, ludicrously entitled War and Peace – Leo Tolstoy must be punching the sides of his coffin – but at least the pride of Hyde has had an epic career; such have been the ups and downs, the vacillation between fighter and binger, that he might have called his book "War and Peace, and War again, then a bit more Peace…"
So this charismatic exponent of the sweet science would have made a worthy subject matter but Mat Hodgson, who also directed the acclaimed feature-length documentary about Queens Park Rangers, The Four-Year Plan, just made it at the wrong time.
For this is the story of Hatton's attempted comeback three years after being laid out by Manny Pacquiao beneath the bright lights of Las Vegas's MGM Grand. Instead this is set in the drab Manchester of Hatton's sobriety and he's just not the same man; the spark has gone, perhaps because he hasn't got 20 pints of Guinness inside him.
He is a shadow boxer of his former self and while no one would wish him to return to his bad old ways for the sake of light welterweight entertainment, it may have been better to chart his return from despair and self-destruction rather than just concentrate on the dull build-up to the fight. There are no substances in Hatton's body and there's hardly any substance to the programme either.
At the pre-fight press conference the man who plumbed the depths says: "I'm a very deep person, I'm as soft as shite, I keep it all inside." But you want him to let it all out, both the demons and the devilish wit. It's all very downbeat – which is perhaps a suitable sobriquet for the five-time world champion in his declining years.
Trainer Bob Shannon says to Hatton as he binds his fists, "You look nervous", to which Hatton hits back with "I'm not nipping out for a paper, am I? You twat". For the first 45 minutes of the film that might have been more interesting to watch, and frankly the viewer might well have done the same.
Perhaps it doesn't help that you know he didn't beat Vyacheslav Senchenko last November. Even if you didn't know, you could probably have guessed, so slight is the tension.
But then the real drama comes after the fight when the Hitman quits. His entourage are putting a brave face on the very battered face – "This wasn't surrender, this was redemption" – but Hatton is having none of it. "I've spent three years saying I've still got it. Have I still got it? No I haven't."
To capture the moment when a true champion throws in the towel — now that packs a punch and the film does it very well.
You have to wonder why Hatton tried to return to the ring. And yet the comeback trail had the massively beneficial effect of getting him back on his feet again – he lost five stone and got off the booze and the drugs. He came to terms with his health problems, not least through the familiarity and simplicity of his training routine. Ironically, the worry now is whether he can stay healthy and happy away from the limelight.
Mo Farah has a book out too, called Twin Ambitions, and he was plugging it on Alan Carr's Chatty Man (Channel 4, Friday) when he revealed the secret of his remarkable success in long-distance running. He has a twin brother, Hassan, who takes over the race halfway through and no one can tell the difference. The only problem is that Hassan "smokes 20 fags a day" so he tends to stick with the pack. What a wheeze, though, in both senses.Reuse content

Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, Kingdom Hearts, Twilight, Full Metal Alchemist
Is very loyal to the cannon pairings as such, yet prefers to read works that aren't your everyday romance or new-bad-guy routine. I'm quite perky in reviews, trying to be as supportive to the author as possible, even when I myself feellike crap. Some stories are capable of whipping me up into frenzies though, which is probably not such a great thing seeing as I'm very random and unpredictable when I go crazy.
I'm very lazy and very busy right now, so the chances of me posting a story are slim to none. Besides, I simply prefer to sit back and admire and gawk at other people's beautiful work. ;)
Current Obssessions:
These include a great deal many books, miso soup, 30 Seconds to Mars, my green car, sewing, Pocky, Full Metal Alchemist manga and plums.
General Stuff:
I tend to only read Tidus/Yuna, Rikku/Gippal, Edward/Bella and Jacob/Bella friendship fanfiction, but do sometimes enjoy reading completely illogical and impossible pairings just for a good laugh. I'm a third year university student currently studying for a business degree in accounting. Don't get me wrong, Accounting is quite interesting (for me anyway) but god, some of my tutors must have a natural gift for putting people to sleep. I live in a small house with my beloved parents as an only child, and share my bed with an evil, power hungry, lint loving (I'm serious, it eats lint) cat that I swear was a dirty old man in its past life because it follows me into the bathroom, sits on the counter and watches me shower.
My two fighter fish also have their own little staring war going on in-between the glass dividers in their tank when my perverted cat isn't trying to eat them.
I happen to think that Pyreflies are so pretty...it's very east to forget what your saying as you watch them dance...and swirl...and sing...and glow...
Well, look out for me, because I may be floating around in your story. I hardly ever read a story without reviewing. The only time I won't review is if it's so bad that I can't stand reading it...and that's rare, because I love different stuff. I do not however, readsucked into the game stuff...it's just stupid. But that's another story for another time. Catch you later!

Christmas smoked salmon pate (Slimming World friendly)
This is a really easy Christmas recipe perfect for serving as an appetiser or on a buffet table, You can serve it on the mini potato cakes I made in the previous recipe and as it's not a very firm pate so could also be served as a dip with raw vegetables. If you want to make it with a firmer texture just use less quark.
I know smoked salmon is expensive but it is Christmas and I know ASDA sell smoked salmon trimmings quite cheaply and those would be fine to use. I used 2 teaspoons of lemon juice for this recipe but I would start only using one teaspoon and season to taste as some quarks are sharper than others. There is no need for any salt as the smoked salmon is quite salty.
Smoked salmon pate
100g smoked salmon
1-2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tub quark
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.

Happy Christmas or Nadolig Llawen as they say here in Wales xx

Several Toxic Metals Found At A Higher Level In Children With Autism
The autism group had significantly higher levels of lead in their red blood cells (+41 percent) and significantly higher urinary levels of lead (+74 percent), thallium (+77 percent), tin (+115 percent), and tungsten (+44 percent). Lead, thallium, tin, and tungsten are toxic metals that can impair brain development and function, and also interfere with the normal functioning of other body organs and systems.
A statistical analysis was conducted to determine if the levels of toxic metals were associated with autism severity, using three different scales of autism severity. It was found that 38-47 percent of the variation of autism severity was associated with the level of several toxic metals, with cadmium and mercury being the most strongly associated.
In the paper about the study, the authors state "We hypothesize that reducing early exposure to toxic metals may help ameliorate symptoms of autism, and treatment to remove toxic metals may reduce symptoms of autism; these hypotheses need further exploration, as there is a growing body of research to support it."
The study was led by James Adams, a President's Professor in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, one of ASU's Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. He directs the ASU Autism/Asperger's Research Program.
Adams previously published a study on the use of DMSA, an FDA-approved medication for removing toxic metals. The open-label study found that DMSA was generally safe and effective at removing some toxic metals. It also found that DMSA therapy improved some symptoms of autism. The biggest improvement was for children with the highest levels of toxic metals in their urine.
Overall, children with autism have higher average levels of several toxic metals, and levels of several toxic metals are strongly associated with variations in the severity of autism for all three of the autism severity scales investigated.
The study was funded by the Autism Research Institute and the Legacy Foundation.

Scotland Yard was shamed today after a damning report revealed a police "spy" infiltrated groups linked to Stephen Lawrence's parents during the Macpherson Inquiry.
Personal details about Doreen Lawrence and her husband Neville were passed back to the Metropolitan Police's secret Special Demonstration Squad, MPs were told.
Home Secretary Theresa May responded to a series of bombshell revelations about the Met by ordering a judge-led public inquiry into undercover policing. Among the highly-damaging findings:
*The Met was castigated for a meeting between an undercover officer, who had been deployed into a group seeking to influence the Lawrence family campaign, and a senior officer seconded to the team involved in drafting the Met's final written submission to the Macpherson Inquiry.
*There was "enhanced" suspicion that a senior officer in the original murder investigation was corrupt and under the influence of Clifford Norris, a serious criminal and father of murder suspect David Norris.
*The majority of the records of the Special Demonstration Squad's work at that time had been destroyed.
*The Met was criticised for a covert recording of a meeting between Stephen's friend Duwayne Brooks and his solicitor.
The new inquiry was conducted by Mark Ellison, QC, who successfully prosecuted Gary Dobson and David Norris for Stephen's murder.
It highlighted a meeting between an undercover officer, known as N81, at a garden in north London on August 14, 1998, during the Macpherson Inquiry, and a senior officer working with the team involved in preparing final written papers to be submitted.
The meeting was reportedly so that the Met Commissioner Paul Condon could be fully briefed on the case.
But the inquiry found that the opening of such a channel of communication at the time was wrong-headed and wholly inappropriate.
Claims that police officers were linked to drug criminal dogged murder inquiry
"There was no conceivable 'public order' justification for this meeting," it added, warning that if the existence of the meeting had emerged at the time it could have led to the "serious public disorder of the very kind so feared" by the Met.
The force risked being seen as trying to get some "secret advantage" in the inquiry from its spying, the report added. It stressed: "The mere presence of an undercover MPS officer in the wider Lawrence family camp in such circumstances is highly questionable in terms of the appearance it creates of the MPS having a spy in the family's camp."
Stephen, 18, an aspiring architect, was stabbed to death by a group of up to six white youths, in an unprovoked racist attack as he waited at a bus stop in Eltham, south-east London, with a friend on April 22, 1993.
Allegations were made in 2013 by a former officer, Peter Francis, that he had been deployed undercover to find intelligence that could "smear" the Lawrence family campaign.
Today's report makes devastating findings that an inappropriate operation was indeed carried out by the Special Demonstration Squad, a top-secret unit in Special Branch that infiltrated groups threatening public disorder, violence or injury.
Author Mr Ellison said: "Undercover officers were deployed by the SDS into activist groups that then sought to attach themselves to a grieving family's campaign." At the time, the Lawrence family was challenging the botched initial investigation into Stephen's murder. In effect, Scotland Yard had begun "intrusive covert deployments" on a family that was suing them.
SDS members were promised lifetime anonymity — restricting what today's report could reveal. Moreover, Mr Ellison revealed that many records had been shredded — a recurring finding throughout his report on the Lawrence investigation and the family's treatment by the Met.
The report's findings are damning, saying the Met obtained personal information and details of how the family was conducting its case against the force.
"Information reported back to the SDS as a result of that deployment included personal details about Mr and Mrs Lawrence," it said. "It included discussion of the progress, reasons and details of the decisions made by the Lawrence family connected to the inquiry."
Officers not only watched but succeeded in "influencing" the family's campaign. Today's report stresses the need for "boundaries" to ensure such intelligence work is not mis-used.
In mid-August of 1998 the SDS arranged at senior level for one of the undercover officers infiltrating the Lawrence family, who is named only as N81, to meet a former Special Branch officer, DI Richard Walton, seconded to the Yard team making submissions to the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry. They met "in a garden in north London" and the notes showed that N81 spoke freely about the family and the SDS influence with little sign of "boundaries".
Mr Ellison said: "We find the opening of such a channel of communication at that time to have been wrong-headed and inappropriate.
"The reality was that N81 was, at the time, an MPS spy in the Lawrence family camp during the course of judicial proceedings in which the family was the primary party in opposition to the MPS [Metropolitan Police Service]."
He went on to say that "the mere presence of an undercover MPS officer in the wider Lawrence family camp in such circumstances is highly questionable" but for that officer to brief Scotland Yard on what to say to the Lawrence Inquiry was "a completely improper use of the knowledge the MPS had gained by the deployment of this officer".
Mr Walton is criticised in the report for a "less than straightforward" position and changing his version of events in a manner found "unconvincing".Reuse content

Chapter 3
The remembrance joy past flashed before his eyes as he sat silent in the darkness. His charges, cruel spectres that shred his dreams for failing them. What manner of evil would haunt him so in the houses of holy, he asked a Brother. "Guilt," he replied sombrely, and went on being holy. What escape would there be for a person seeking forgiveness of souls so angered, and bodies so dead. He was only trying to help.

The company has just issued a booklet called Exploding the Myths, in which it discusses the new Individual Savings Account and how to obtain good value from your investment.
Unlike all other guides to ISAs, the Norwich Union booklet is not big on the precise details of how much you can put into one type of fund as opposed to another.
No, its main aim is to debunk the argument, now prevalent among the majority of UK fund managers, that the Treasury's CATmarks, designed to ensure that investors get good value from their savings, do not deliver what they set out to do.
The CAT initials stand for fair Charges, easy Access to your money and decent Terms and conditions. From the charges perspective, this means paying no initial fee and an annual levy thereafter of no more than 1 per cent. By contrast, funds will take a 5 per cent initial charge and 1.5 per cent in annual fees: which means that the first year, 6.5 per cent of your initial investment is swallowed up in management costs.
The Norwich Union booklet is quite explicit on what this means: "On an ISA investment of pounds 7,000 [in the first year of the new regime] that's pounds 385 extra that a fund needs just to make up the difference. And each year, the gap keeps growing larger."
Do funds make up that difference? According to Norwich Union, the answer is negative. In fact, to put that 1 per cent anual charge in perspective, less than 3 per cent of European equity funds and 1 per cent of UK equity funds have managed to outperform the rest of their average peer group by more than 1 per cent every year for the last five.
Equally important, Norwich Union offers not only the usual range of ultra- cheap tracker funds (so do quite a few other fund managers, as it happens), but also a small selection of actively managed funds.
In other words, the company is effectively demonstrating that if you want a fund manager to make daily decisions on portfolio allocation, based on his understanding of world and UK equity markets, it is perfectly possible to do so and still charge 1 per cent or less a year. Norwich Union is putting its money where its mouth is: out of 26 CAT-standard ISAs, it is marketing seven of them, six either actively managed or bond-based.
It is too soon to say whether this particular marketing experiment will work. But in so far as Norwich Union is one of a handful of companies prepared to stick its neck out and opt for value over high charges, it deserves to, as does the other small band of CAT-standard providers. By the way, free copies of Exploding the Myths are available by calling 0800 0562450.
JUST TWO more quick points. First, congratulations to Chris and Andrea Masters who have ended up in La Cretouffiere, a 17th-century French hamlet - and with a mere pounds 2,000 mortgage. They are also the latest quarterly winners of our Stepping Stones competition. This week's entry is featured on page 9; if you would like to take part, write in to the address shown there.
Finally, to the scores of readers who sent letters expressing sympathy for the loss of my pet hamster, Snowy, and urging me to continue my appeal against the Inland Revenue, many thanks. I am appealing. More on that subject when I return from my holiday in two weeks.

Messages in a lively Quaker meeting often have threads. Life has threads, the blogosphere has threads, and some of them have been flowing my way lately.
Richard M, at A Place to Stand wrote a recent post on the importance of eldering, in the sense of nurturing gifts when, like volunteer seedlings in a garden, they crop up unexpectedly. Though I'm not 100% sure I agree with everything he had to say (for instance, I question whether a lack of positive feedback from elders at meeting regarding spoken ministry can be taken as meaning that the messages we gave were not right to be shared. I think that there are a lot of indicators of good vocal ministry, and that feedback from elders is only one of them) I did really like the post. He writes that good spoken ministry will "resonate with what is going on within some of the Friends listening."
I think that's so. So I was heartened to read, in a recent comment from Plain Foolish, that my post on Grace had spoken to her (him?), and when I bopped on over to Plain's blog, I found the thread continuing on, the way a message sometimes will begin with one person and then be carried with another. Plain Foolish writes, "one day, as I sat in church, not praying, not doing anything in particular, just sitting there thinking whatever thoughts chose to show up, I felt as though a little light had lit up inside me. That light seemed to say that the way to see the face of God was to look, that I wouldn't see it if I weren't looking... ...My experience of that light hasn't been tied to one religion or anything that easy to pin down. All I can do, I think, is say what my experience of it has been. At times, it's been like an aching love for other people - both people I've known all my life, and people I met for an afternoon, or even just smiled at on the street."
There's more. I'll fight the temptation to reprint the whole entry--though I do urge you to read it for yourself.
I'm reminded of Gus DiZerega's really powerful account of his first direct experience with the Goddess, at his first-ever Wiccan circle:
"As the invocation came to an end I was suddenly enveloped in a presence of incredible power, beauty, and love. While nothing was visible to my eyes, the closeness of that presence was palpable. There was a sense of nature, of forests and streams and meadows. At the same time, there was a pervading sense of beauty beyond words, power beyond imagining, and love beyond conception... In those brief moments within Her presence, I realized that I had never really understood what love was, never deeply comprehended compassion, never truly grasped what acceptance meant... ... it was akin to seeing the light of the sun after having lived in darkness illuminated by candles." (_Pagans & Christians: The Personal Spiritual Experience_ p. 55)
I'm not quoting Gus to say that all religions are the same. But I do think that there's something out there that an awful lot of different religions are trying to touch on, and that's far too large to fit neatly inside any particular set of definitions. I am increasingly content to admit I'm unsure what that reality is, or how it fits into the ideas I have about life, the universe, and everything.
However, I'm not content at all to relegate experiences like this to the status of nifty memories and stories. As Plain Foolish puts it, the way to see the face of God is to look, and we wont see it if we don't look. There's more to understand.
And, if the threaded messages I'm living this week are any clue, the "more" can be quite specific and concrete.
At the Ministry and Worship meeting this week, we were discussing one of a number of situations that are an ongoing area of work in our meeting. And, as always when our discussions touch on so many Quaker procedural matters that I have only ever read about once, in passing, in a handbook (if that) I have a wierd, out-of-joint feeling about the discussions. It's as if the conversation were time-lagged from outer space, and I had to listen across odd, out-of-synch gaps in meaning... or, as I remarked at the time, like trying to read in Spanish, a language I once understood slightly, but that is slipping away from me year by year. I understand most of the words--but I can't help but feel a sense of how much I am missing.
In the middle of my chronic confusion, sitting and attempting to listen spiritually as well as with my ears (If I can't contribute knowledge and experience, I feel that the least I should do is work at _really_ listening), I had a brief, sharp flash of light--almost like the pop of an old-fashioned flash bulb. And I had an idea that I _thought_ made sense, though, ignorant as I am of so much Quaker process, I couldn't be sure my idea wasn't either a) obvious and not useful, or b) incredibly foolish and impossible.
But I trusted us. I admitted I didn't know for sure I understood all I should, but I offered the idea anyway. And immediately, I could see in the eyes of the other members of the committee that it _was_a useful insight. I was excited. _They_ had been excited by the idea.
OK. Not huge. But that the group of elders I was sitting with (you know--I really _like_ that group of people!) picked up the thread.
When messages resonate--that _is_ one of the signs that you're listening is on track. And the listening--the _hearing_ what is next--that's one of the points of this whole thing.
I'm pretty sure.

Like swallows returning from winter habitats, the migration of the world's finance ministers to Washington for a weekend of discussion at the April meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, is a sign that spring is underway.
This year, the chancellor, Gordon Brown, the Bank of England's governor, Mervyn King, and Hilary Benn, the international development secretary, will join discussions on IMF reform, exchange rates, the millennium development goals for health and education, and clean energy.
On the sidelines, people will be judging the performance of the Pentagon neo-con turned World Bank president, Paul Wolfowitz, as he approaches his first anniversary. So far, he has been noticed mainly for creating a storm amongst his staff about the effectiveness of World Bank anti-corruption measures.
This internal ruckus is something of a diversion from fundamental debates about the future of both the bank and fund. More than sixty years after they were established, searching questions are being asked about what purpose they serve. The IMF increasingly lacks the money to intervene effectively in financial crises, and lost its few remaining shreds of authority after Argentina went it alone to re-negotiate its debt with creditors in 2004.
The World Bank continues to be a major funder in Africa, where it is becoming one grant donor among many. But it is increasingly marginal in the big middle-income countries where it lends money.
These issues, and questions about the legitimacy of a donor-dominated institution run on one-dollar, one-vote principles, with the transparency of a Masonic lodge, will not go away.
Little of this uncertainty is likely to rub off on the chancellor, who will arrive with a spring in his step following last week's pledge, made alongside Nelson Mandela, to increase UK aid to education.
On Friday, he will announce a detailed commitment to the education Fast Track Initiative, a donor plan to help get every child into school by 2015. At the moment, the Fast Track is woefully under-funded - by half a billion dollars this year alone. The UK's contribution should go some way to plugging this shortfall, and help give an education to many of the world's 100 million children who do not attend school. It will also put the spotlight on countries, like Germany, the US and Italy that are currently failing to pay their fair share.
The Fast Track money will raise a further issue, however, of IMF rules on how much money it will allow countries to spend, or "fiscal space". Ultra-conservative inflation targets have led the fund to take a dim view of major increases in public spending, even where it's crucial for hiring the teachers and health workers needed to achieve the millennium development goals. There's a real risk that new aid for education, health and other priorities will be blocked by fund ceilings on expenditure.
Gordon Brown, as the long-standing chair of the IMF's governing body, is in the perfect position to resolve this contradiction. People often talk about the challenges of joined up government. This weekend, the challenge will be to get a joined up Gordon.

The Innocence of the Devil
€ 29,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
November 1998
BeschreibungNawal El Saadawi's books are known for their powerful denunciation of patriarchy in its many forms: social, political, and religious. Set in an insane asylum, "The Innocence of the Devil" is a complex and chilling novel that recasts the relationships of God and Satan, of good and evil. Intertwining the lives of two young women as they discover their sexual and emotional powers, Saadawi weaves a dreamlike narrative that reveals how the patriarchal structures of Christianity and Islam are strikingly similar: physical violation of women is not simply a social or political phenomenon, it is a religious one as well.While more measured in tone than Salman Rushdie's "Satanic Verses," Saadawi's novel is similar in its linguistic, literary, and philosophical richness. Evoking a world of pain and survival that may be unfamiliar to many readers, it speaks in a universal voice that reaches across cultures and is the author's most potent weapon.
PortraitNawal El Saadawi is an Egyptian feminist, socialist, medical doctor, and writer. Her works include "The Hidden Face of Eve" (1982) and "Memoirs from the Women's Prison" (California, 1994). Sherif Hetata, who is married to Saadawi, is a physician and writer who spent thirteen years in prison for speaking out against the Egyptian government. Fedwa Malti-Douglas is Martha C. Kraft Professor of Humanities at Indiana University and the author of "Men, Women, and God(s): Nawal El Saadawi and Arab Feminist Poetics" (California, 1995).

"I have had many compliments from family and friends about how nice my sons graduation card turned out. I liked how I could put so many different pictures on to view. Also, how I could mix colored and black and white pictures."
"I was very happy with how my cards turned out! I had special instructions and they were fulfilled flawlessly and I received my cards quickly! I would recommend for sure!"
"This was my first order through this company and I was VERY impressed! I ordered the card with the blue flowers and used different fonts.

"These invitations are so elegant. I changed up the color of the flowers to blue and green. I had the cut seen in the photo and love it, worth a few extra cents to have fun shape instead of regular rectangular card shape. They were delivered to my door in perfect condition and just a ordered."

TripAdvisor Reviews Flora Hotel Florence
Travel Blogs from Florence
... We have never been here before, resisting the place as little more than a pretentious stuffed shirt. Oh, what an error. The place is wonderfully beautiful. The Renaissance was born in Firenze, and more art from that period is here than anywhere else (at least we are going to say that).
For us the highlight of the day was the statue of David. Seems folks ...
Walking Florence
... Bench which was on the way to the Galleria della Accademia (the museum where the famous David sculpture is). I enjoyed an apple turnover and Ian had a chocolate croissant. We did not purchase tickets ahead of time for this museum, so we were anticipating a line to get in. We waited in line for about an hour, but it felt like the line moved rather quickly (not as quick as the line with pre-purchased tickets, but quick nonetheless).

Italian public phones and working out the international phone number/dial tones is always confusing so after trying unsuccessfully we decide to get the cab and see if the driver could call him.

What treatment do you recommend to get rid of scarring on my skin? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 5
Here's My Recommendation--Acne Scars Treatment, Lasers (TCA Cross), fillers (Bellafill), microneedling/prp
You will need a combination approach and specifically for your type of scars: lasers, radiofrequency. TCA cross, microneedling/prp, fillers, and subcision. See an acne scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
Web reference: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa6C2fuS-AgOnvBjr6_VSQg
Acne Treatment Solutions
Sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with your skin. Living with acne scarring is not something you have to put up with thanks to the advancement of aesthetic lasers that are equipped to treat a wide variety of skin conditions.
There are many options to treat acne scarring, so to achieve the best results for your specific case, consult an experienced specialist with a reputable practice. Lasers are a great way to resurface the skin and reduce scars, particularly the Erbium and CO2 lasers. The Erbium laser is a state-of-the-art laser that resurfaces the skin and reduce scars in under an hour. The results are almost instant, and only about 3-4 days of downtime are required. Another option is the CO2 laser. The CO2 laser penetrates the skin deeper than the Erbium; therefore, the results are a little better, but you would need about 7-10 days of downtime. Also, because this laser is more invasive, you do not need multiple treatments like the Erbium.
At our clinic we often recommend a series of AFT (Advanced Fluorescence Technology) laser treatments for acne scarring as a starting point, it all depends on the patients current skin condition. AFT is an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) laser technology targets the surface of the skin where prior acne has made the surface uneven and improves the texture, tone, and appearance of skin with minimal downtime.
A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or a dermatologist would be the first step in treating your scars!
I would highly recommend a high quality medical grade skin care routine that contains ingredients that have been developed to treat acne on the face.
Watch the attached link for more info.
Hyperpigmentation on dark skin
This needs a skin expert evaluation. I would start you on prescription products including Retin A and hydroquinone. Also chemical peels are needed. Scars can be treated with the Infini when the pigmentation is improved.

Hyperpigmentation and Acne Scars
I suggest you consult a board certified dermatologist to both treat the current outbreaks of acne and then have chemical peels to heal and lighten these dark marks. Please consult an expert in dark skin and peels. Best, Dr. Green
Web reference: http://www.michelegreenmd.com/acne-scar-treatment
Treat active acne, use bleaching creams, gentle lasers.
Firstly you have active acne. This MUST be controlled at the same time as treatments for pigmentation. See a general dermatologist for this. Your PIH or post inflammatory hyper pigmentation can be controlled with a series of chemical peels, Pico or Nano Q switch lasers, and bleaching cream. You must sun protect as well, as this can decrease more PIH with active acne. Gentle treatments are required in this skin type. All the best, Dr Davin Lim, Brisbane. Australia.

While Mitt Romney polls far behind President Obama with Latinos, one group of HIspanic voters is more closely divided -- evangelical Protestants.
According to a Pew Research Center study (based on polling done shortly after the first presidential debate), 39 percent of evangelical Hispanic registered voters back the Republican candidate. Fifty percent back President Obama.
By contrast, 73 percent of Catholic Latinos and 82 percent of religiously-unaffiliated Latinos support Obama over Romney.
White evangelicals overwhelmingly back Romney, by a three-to-one margin. National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference President Samuel Rodriguez recently told Religion & Politics magazine that Romney has "reached out extensively" to him and other Latino evangelicals and could strengthen his support in the community "if he emphasizes his commitment to faith, family, entrepreneurship and a just immigration reform solution."
Only 16 percent of registered Hispanic voters are evangelical, and in 2008 Latinos were only 9 percent of the electorate. So Romney's relative strength with evangelical Hispanics isn't game-changing, but it is a potential inroad with a block of swing voters.

Always, keep in mind your need before you make your purchase. This will help you in selecting a right gaming chair.Read More

First lift estimates
Damn lifts are expensive!
I got lift estimates from 2 different places today for my 2012 JKU. Both were right around $2200 for everything. One was a Teraflex 3", one was Rubicon Express 2". Both estimates included Billstein 5100's, installation, and 'everything' that they said I would need.
Does that sound about right? Or am I going to the wrong places? I definitely want stuff that is as good or better than stock, and definitely plan to wheel with it.
Both recommended oil pan skids, one recommended Diff cover skids first before getting oil pan.
Seems a bit high to me. My quote which intern I jumped on was 900$ for the 3 inch BDS kit with 5100's+ 734 labour discounted at 50% so 367$(always ask for discounts it never hurts) so around 900+367=1267+ taxes give or take 1350$
Its not something you want to do and avoid labor prices?
I looked at the first estimate again:
$1724 =
RE 2" system with Bilstein 5100's for $1339 + $425 install.
He did suggest replacing the driveshaft for $549, but said I could probably do it later. That would bring it up to $2313
I don't have the Teraflex estimate in front of me, will have to get it out of my Jeep later. Similar though, but don't think it included the drive shaft.
I would definitely shop around and figure out where I wanted to get it done, then try to negotiate the price down.
I have a guy that does good work and is honest about pricing. He is in Perris, just down the street from me. Here is his info. The shop is called Sintek, ask for Victor. 185 Ramona Expy Perris, CA 92571 (951) 940-4035
Tell Victor that I sent you the info and he may even give a better deal since I go there often. He does not have a big invetory, but can usually get stuff within one business day.
Here's the info on the Teraflex estimate:
3" Teraflex JK Lift kit - $782
Bilstein Shocks - $440
JK Front Short Arm adjustable control arms - $332
JK Rear/upper adjustable control arms - $259
$425 Labor
$2380 Total
4351 Attachment(s)
That's good IMO
4351 Attachment(s)
Yes "to install" after I bought the parts.
There was no talk about what kind of lift.
Just talking about lifting the jeep. One of the techs said "we can do it"
He gave me an estimate of $400
Sold my jeep 2 months later :)
I'm a 2005 LJ owner, but feel I got a good deal on parts and labor. $400-500 labor and $1300 parts for a quality lift seems reasonable. Depends on the add-ons, I only did lowers and 2 rear upper CAs on a 3" suspension lift. (per Tereflex rep recommendation) I was closer to $2300 out the door with several other add ons. However, $440 seems high for 4 5100 Bilstiens (which I have and recommended) seems they run $79 as advertised fairly consistent.on a 3"
