The order of directives is important, because the server executes them in the order in which they appear in obj.conf. The outcome of some directives affects the execution of other directives.
For PathCheck directives, the order within the PathCheck section is not so important because the server executes all PathCheck directives. However, the order within the ObjectType section is very important, because if an ObjectType directive sets an attribute value, no other ObjectType directive can change that value. For example, if the default ObjectType directives are listed in the following order (which is the incorrect way), every request will have its type value set to text/plain, and the server will not have a chance to set the type according to the extension of the requested resource.
ObjectType fn="force-type" type="text/plain" ObjectType fn="type-by-extension"
Similarly, the order of directives in the Service section is very important. The server executes the first Service directive that matches the current request and does not execute the others.

Making choices about the kind of Canada we want
September 12, 2012
Jeff Simpson comments on our implicit choice to spend more on health and less on education.

Archives: Philipe Couillard on our health system
In 2011, Canada 2020 asked Dr. Philippe Couillard to provide some historical context on Canada's "broken" health care system. Then, Dr. Couillard was out of politics, working as an adviser at the SECOR Group. Today, he is the newly elected Premier of Quebec, having just won an impressive majority mandate for the Quebec Liberal Party. His essay, Lessons from 2004, Perspectives for 2014, offers a glimpse into the new Premier's policy thinking, not just on the issue of health, but on his overall approach to making choices in government.
Opinion: Searching for Canada's Michelle Obama
Canada needs to confront its crisis in public health, and quickly determine how we can come together to combat obesity and related chronic diseases. Canadians are up against the same public health challenges as our American neighbours.
The First Lady of the U.S. has provided a very visible rallying point in that country. Here in Canada we do not have such a figure, but, encouragingly, we do have a federal government that is becoming more active in this space.
Opinion: The need to experiment in healthcare
Canadians are always wont to compare our system to the U.S. This makes sense, but only in geographic terms. There are numerous examples of mixed public-private systems around the world that exhibit substantially greater cost effectiveness and better medical outcomes than our own.

Where does the time go? It is a year ago today that I launched the Grave Encounters Blog focusing on all things memorial related.
My Grandmother always said, that two things were certain - death and taxes! What is beyond the paper trail of our existence? I don't mean, the question of life after death. I mean what is it we leave after we have passed away? A household of contents, a pile of memorabilia that meant something to the deceased and no one else?
What is beyond the death certificate? An Obituary, A funeral service, A memorial booklet presented at the service. Perhaps an internment of ashes or maybe a burial. Hopefully, a headstone. In some cases, a plaque somewhere that simply shows everyone that the deceased even existed.
As regular readers will have noticed, I am very interested in memorial plaques. Simple little examples that someone existed, and someone cared enough to remember them. They appear everywhere and in the strangest of locations. Of course the location would have meant something to the deceased or perhaps their relatives.
From the plaques that appear on benches at fisheries & lakes, to the large multiple named memorials of the Lockerbie Air Disaster, to the various memorials on the Channel Islands of Jersey, where the memorial is not just about remembering the dead, it is about conquering and holding on, believing that rescue will come, and finally to the memorial postcard of a Wedding, that was so unusual, that it deserved to be shared.
They are all plaques or memorials, worth recording and sharing across the superhighway, each one representing a life and a story behind that life.
Stay with me reading, as I complete the various memorials from our second break in Jersey and then onto the archives here of photographs from various cemeteries both within the UK and Overseas. I shall also author two articles for the International Graveyard Rabbits, so watch this space!
A blog devoted to the study and preservation of cemeteries, transcriptions of tombstones,Grave Markers,Memorial Plaques, War Memorials, Burial Customs and other such items that are memorials and deserve to be recorded.

Wapperwell Lake, Chudleigh, Devon - Atkinson
Wapperwell Lake is owned by the Newton Abbot Fishing Association and the lake is situated on the land belonging to Ugbrooke House. We had a quick drive out to the lake for my husband to see what the fishing would be like and took our small Border Terrier with us. You can see the photographs HERE.
Around the outskirts of the lake were a few seats provided by the Association, but half way round I spotted this seat, complete with memorial plaque.

Allergens & Asthma
Dust mites, roaches, mouse dander, environmental tobacco smoke, mold etc are the most common household allergens which could develop and/or trigger asthma attacks.
Allergens can develop asthma and/or trigger asthma attacks.
Asthma is the second most prevalent chronic condition among children and the leading cause of school absences from a chronic illness among children aged 5-17 years.
In 2007, the National Kids Count Program, ranked OK highest in the nation along with OH, CT, KY, AL for percent of children with asthma problems.
In 2008 Tulsa, OK was ranked the second worst city in the U.S. for those suffering from asthma by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA).
In 2007, annual medical expenditures due to asthma medical care totaled $14.7 billion and lost productivity accounted for $5 billion. Overall, asthma accounts for approximately 3% of total health care costs.

Lead-Based Paint Hazards
Residential lead-based paint and lead contaminated dust and soil found in pre-1978 homes are the most common sources.
According to the findings of the National Survey of Lead and Allergens in Housing (NSLAH, 2001), there were 4.8 million U.S. homes with household incomes under $30,000 and one or more children under age six. Of these homes, an estimated 1.6 million (34%) have significant lead-based paint hazards. Thus, one in three homes with young children has significant lead-based paint hazards.
Developmental problems lower I.Q., behavioral problems, attention deficit disorder, learning problems, language delay, anemia, damage to kidneys and nervous system.
Exposure in pregnant females could lead to adverse health effects in their unborn children. such as pre-term birth, decreased gestational maturity, lower birth weight, and reduced postnatal growth.
The CDC estimates approximately 250,000 U.S. children under age six with elevated blood lead levels (EBLL) > 10 μg /dL
According to the latest National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2004, the EBLL prevalence among U.S. children is 1.4%.
In OK the EBLL prevalence was 0.5% in 2009.

Carbon Monoxide (CO)
CO is produced by the incomplete combustion of gas, oil or wood. Any malfunctioning fuel burning appliance is a source of CO.
Car exhaust is another source of CO exposure.
CO can cause;
- Fatigue in healthy people and chest pain in people with heart disease at low concentrations.
- Headaches, dizziness, confusion, nausea at higher concentrations.
- Death at very high conc.
Every year, CO poisoning accounts for more than 500 deaths and approximately 15,000 hospital ER visits in the U.S. In OK between 1994 and 2003 there were 291 CO related deaths (29 deaths every year).

Un-intentional Injury Hazards (Falls, poisonings, suffocation drowning, fires and burns etc.)
Most of the unintentional injuries tend to occur at home and are completely preventable.
According to the Home Safety Council (HSC), the home is the second most common location of unintentional fatal injuries and was ranked below only motor vehicle deaths. Approximately 20% of all injury deaths occur inside the home. Unsecure stairways and other walking surfaces, windows without locks or safety guards, unsecure handrails, electrical system hazards, insufficient lighting,
malfunctioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, improper storage/labeling of hazardous household products.
Leading cause of death for persons in the age group of 1-44 years.
Leading cause of years of potential life lost (YPLL) before age 65 years.
In 2006, falls were the leading cause of deaths in individuals over age 65 in the U.S. and OK. Poisoning was the second and falls were the third leading cause of all unintentional injury deaths for all ages in the U.S. and OK. Unintentional injuries were the leading cause of years of YPLL in individuals under age 65 in the U.S. and OK.
According to the CDC's Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS) data from 2006:
In U.S., 179,065 people died from all types of injuries with unintentional injuries accounting for 121,599 (67.9%) deaths (Age-Adjusted Rate: 39.8 deaths per 100,000 population).

Turn to Titus 2:15 if you will. And I want to direct your attention if I might to one verse as a setting for some things I want to say to those of you who are here for our conference. This is really your time and my time to minister to you.
As I was smoothing through the book of Titus in my preaching I came to verse 15 and it didn't strike me as anything important at first as I planned how I might incorporate it into the exposition of the text. The verse says, "These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you." The first reading, it didn't seem to me that there was anything very theological there or anything very new. But just the week that I went back to prepare particularly to preach this verse and the following section because there's a flow there, I read that verse and it hit my like a thunderbolt. And I couldn't get past it. And what struck me was the word authority. I can remember sitting back in my chair after I read that word and every bit of my thought process came to a grinding halt with reference to a sermon. And I just begin to meditate on the word authority.
The apostle Paul is telling Titus that he is to proclaim with authority. I thought about the fact that the teacher is not telling stories, he's not really theologizing; he's not really explaining or sharing insights or counseling. All that may be a part of what he's doing, but what he's really doing is commanding.
The word authority is the word epitage in the Greek. In every other New Testament used it is translated command or commandment. Only here is it translated authority. That's a good translation. It means to speak as one who commands.
The apostle Paul had essentially said the same thing to Timothy in 1 Timothy 4 when he said to him in verse 11, "Command and teach these things." When he said to him in 2 Timothy 4:2, as was read to you earlier, "Preach the word. Be in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with great patience and instruction." There is a commanding tone to biblical ministry.
I began to think too to the fact that Jesus certainly preached as one having authority. The end of the Sermon on the Mount as indicated in Matthew 7:29, "The people were struck because He spoke as one having authority." That authority is marked out in the first chapter of Mark. That authority is marked out in the fourth chapter of Luke. It is marked out again in the seventh chapter of John. In fact, they went so far as to say, "Never did any man speak as this man speaks." He doesn't quote the rabbis; He doesn't footnote anything He says; He just speaks commandingly and authoritatively.
And, in fact, in Mark 11:28 they went to him and they said, "By what authority do you do this?" What is the source of this authority? How is it that everything you say comes across as a command? Was it two thousand years of Jewish tradition that gave Him His authority? Was it because He was in line with the reigning theology of the time? Was it because He was lining up with the popular views of the people? Was it His office? Was it His title? Was it His training? Was it His looks? Was it His style? Was it His voice? Was it His communicating skill? Was it is His oratory? What gave Him His authority? Where did it come from?
Now the answer comes to us so clearly in the gospel of John, if not many other places, in verse 14. "It was in the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach. The Jews therefore were marveling, saying, 'How has this man become learned never having been educated?' Jesus, therefore, answered them and said, 'My teaching is not mine but His who sent me. If any man is willing to do His will, he shall know of the teaching. Whether it is of God or whether I speak from myself. He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who is seeking the one who sent him, he is true and there is no unrighteousness in him."
What He was simply saying there was, "I don't speak for myself. I speak what God tells me to speak," and therein was His authority. In chapter 8 of John's gospel in verse 28, at the end of the verse he said, "I speak these things as the Father taught me." In verse 38, "I speak the things which I have seen with my Father." Verse 40, "I am a man who told you the truth which I herd from God." John 12:49 and 50, "I did not speak on my own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent me has given me commandments what to say and what to speak. And I know that His commandment is eternal life. Therefore, the things I speak I speak just as the Father has told me." The reason Jesus had authority when He spoke was because He always spoke the word of God. The preacher's authority comes when he speaks the word of God and no other time. And to speak the word of God is to command, isn't it?
The Bible isn't full of suggestions. It's full of commandments. Jesus reminded us that when we go into all the world and make disciples, we are to teach them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. We are commanders. We speak with authority. Not just authority, go back to Titus 2:15, "We speak with all authority." That is to say the authority is unassailable and the authority is comprehensive.
What the apostle Paul is charging Titus to do is what all preachers must do. And that is to preach with a commanding tone the word of God. He suggests there are three aspects of that commanding. There is speaking, there is exhorting and there is reproving. Those are important words. I want to suggest to you what they mean. To speak means to tell something so that people can hear and understand. To exhort means to force that truth upon them in such a way that they believe and appropriate. And to reprove means to take action so that they obey and submit. So what are we after? Hearing, believing and obeying. We speak authoritatively so that they can hear and understand. We speak authoritatively so they can believe and appropriate. We speak authoritatively so that they can obey and submit their lives to that which they believe for that which they have heard. And what is it that we speak? First two words of verse 15, "these things." What are "these things?" Go back to verse one. They are the things which are fitting for sound doctrine. These things have to do with sound doctrine, divine revelation, right back to the word of God which is the emphasis, of course, all through the Pastoral Epistles. Now, this brief passage confines the ministry to some very narrow boundaries. We are commanders. We speak with authority. The only authority we have comes from the word of God; therefore, that is all we have to say. Instead of urging Timothy to devise a ministry that would garner accolades from the world - instead of - urging Titus rather. Instead of urging Titus to speak in a way that would soft-sell; instead of urging Titus to tell people what they might like to hear to make the message palatable and easy he says, "Get yourself in the commanding mode and speak the word of God." Hardly the stuff of modern church growth advocates aspirations. Give them what they don't want to hear, not what they want to hear. And tell them that they're bound to it.
And that is precisely the word that I want to share with you tonight. Sometimes people say, "Well, you speak with enthusiasm." And sometime people call it dogmatism and sometimes people call it insensitivity. I hope people can see past the personality of the preacher to realize that what is binding on them is not the preacher's preaching. But what is binding on them is the content of Scripture. Everyone must be brought under the authority of the word of God. And that is the only authority that we have. We are speaking authoritatively so that people might hear and understand, so that they might believe and appropriate so that they might obey and submit. And, again, when we look at ministry it is so simple. It is so one dimensional; it is the proclamation of the word of God. That's all. That's what gives it its power. That's what gives it its authority. And, frankly - if we were to carry the point beyond the text here - that is the only thing that can transform life.
The ministry has been corrupted. And it's been corrupted by some mistaken kinds of authority. I want to suggest some of them to you tonight just for your thinking.
There are some who misunderstand biblical authority. They misunderstand where our authority lies and where it ends. There are four categories of mistaken authority. Let me give you the first one. And they're not in any particular order other than the order I thought of them.
The first one is personal authority. Some people think that they have a right to speak for themselves. Some would go so far as to say that they have the power in them that Jesus had in Him. They have the power in them that the apostles had. They even have the power to cast out demons and heal the sick and raise the dead. Some people think that they have some kind of personal apostolic authority by which they can command Satan, command demons, take authority over disease, take authority over death and even command the holy angels to operate in their behalf and even have the authority to demand that God deliver on their request. They remind me of the people in Acts 19, the sons of Sceva who were trying to cast out demons. And the demons said to the sons of Sceva, "Jesus we know and Paul we know, but who in the world are you guys?" They recognized divine and messianic authority. They recognized apostolic authority but they hadn't a clue who these guys were.
Some who have stepped into the role of ministry even think they have authority to forgive sin. Roman catholic priests think somehow they have been given a delegated right to forgive sin based upon people filing their way through some prescription, or based upon them satisfying some indulgence, or based upon some priestly conference of absolution. There is no such thing as personal authority. I have no authority. There is no authority granted to me in my office as a pastor. There is no authority granted to me as a senior pastor. I don't have any authority at all apart from the word of God. I cannot speak commandingly; I cannot speak authoritatively outside the boundaries of Scripture.
Because I am the pastor of the church doesn't mean that I have any right to command that anything be done on a practical level or that any particular decision be made with regard to some purchase or some future direction or whatever. I can commend some view to the people as an opinion based upon my information, my understanding, my experience or my wisdom - whatever it's worth. But I cannot speak with authority.
Such an imagined authority is false and foolish, non-existent and a proud illusion. There's a second kind of authority that is a mistaken authority and that is church authority. Through the centuries, churches have judged themselves to be authoritative in spiritual matters. This too is an illusion. It is a false and destructive attitude and churches go around dictating and commanding where there is absolutely no jurisdiction.
The greatest model of this would be the Roman Catholic Church or the Orthodox Church, but they're not alone in that. There are many others. The Roman Catholic Church successfully was able to take all authority over the souls of men and nations by virtue of their teaching. Not biblical teaching but what became known as the Magestarium. And the Magestarium was non-biblical data collected by the church. Sometimes it's called tradition, but the technical name for it is the Magestarium. Based on apostolic succession, based on the decrees of infallible popes, based on some continuing revelation through church designed and approved creeds, traditions, articles of faith, excathedral pronouncements, councils, etcetera the church began to articulate a binding commanding data. Doctrines like the worship or Mary, purgatory, treasury of merit penance, perpetual virginity and so on and so forth that relating to Mary all were deemed to be true because the church Magestarium said they were true. And they were used to bind men's conscience. And the church became the controller of men's souls. The Roman Catholic Church in its own eyes became the final authority and had every right to command people to adhere to its self-designed dogmas and command and even kill those who didn't.
In fact, it can be simply stated, the word was under the church. And the church's authority was way beyond the Scripture.
The Eastern Orthodox Church basically followed the same pattern. And the Eastern Orthodox Church claimed authority by liturgy. There was a rejection obviously of certain councils and there was a rejection of the papacy. But the Eastern Orthodox Church basically came up with infallible extra biblical data in a series of seven ecumenical councils that started in Nicea in 325 and ended in Nicea in 787. And in between there were five councils in-between those two. And those basically designed the Magestarium of the Orthodox Church.
And the Orthodox agrees with Rome that the church can speak infallibly beyond the bounds of Scripture. It can invent its own articles of faith and that the church sits in judgment on the Scripture. But the truth is the church has no authority beyond the pages of the Bible. God is the only authority and the only things we know about His commands and His will is that which is revealed through the pages of Scripture which is, "The faith once for all delivered to the saints. And anybody who adds anything to that is in danger of having the plagues," written in the book of Revelation, "added to him." The ultimate authority then is God. All binding scriptural commands come from Him through Scripture alone, not popes or councils, or articles, or creeds, or articles or tradition, or Magestarium. In fact, that's exactly the reason Jesus indicted the Jews in Mark 7:8 where He said, "You have substituted the traditions of men for the commandments of God." And that was an indictment against their apostasy not a commendation of their spirituality.
No word outside the Bible is authoritative in the realm of the soul. And, frankly, I believe to deny that Scripture is the sole authority is a form of blasphemy. Thirdly, another mistaken notion of authority is what we could call rational authority. I don't know if that's the best way to describe it, but I think that in explaining it you'll know what I mean. Rational authority - by that what I mean is that there is a certain authority bound up in human wisdom - human reason. Now, I'm - it's nice to be able to think. It's helpful. But, even at its best, human reason is limited, fallen, selfish, protective, ego-centered, self-justifying, and sinful. And, as such, human wisdom cannot invade the supernatural realm. And it certainly can't create a relationship with a living God. And it certainly can't transform a soul.
No one would ever enter the secret place of God's life by human wisdom, even the human wisdom of a Christian or of a pastor. It's amazing to me constantly how people even in the framework of Christianity and even in the framework of ministry think they can come up with a better way to evangelize than the Bible, a better way to proclaim the gospel than the Scripture. Reason is a false standard of authority. Some people are clever and innovative and interesting and provocative and stimulating and all of that stuff. But only the word of God transforms life. And only the word of God is authoritative. That's why when I preach I use biblical illustrations 95 percent of the time because they not only illustrate truth, but they are authoritative. And then lastly - and I'm going by these quickly - lastly, experiential authority. I'll always remember the lady who said, "Frankly, I don't care what the Bible says. I know what I experienced." I saw a guy on Christian television the other night who was talking. And I don't even know if he knew what he said, but he said, "There's a verse for this. There's a verse for this." And that's like, "Eureka." You know, I found a verse for my theology. There's a verse for this.
And later in the conversation, the same fellow said - they were talking about this verse. And this is a quote because I wrote it down. He said, "And, you know, it says that in the Bible, but, more than that, I've experienced it." And that was an affirmation of truth. And it was the reverse of what Peter said. When he said, "We were with Him in the holy mountain. And we saw Him transfigured." But we have a more sure word of prophecy: Scripture.
There's no authority in experience. Feeling is not truth. Intuition is not truth. Mystical goose bumps do not indicate truth. The only authority we have is the word of God. That is it, nothing more.
G.I. Packard in an article he wrote in the Presbyterian Reformed Journal, said, "The Bible is the real preacher" - I love this - "And all the role of the man in the pulpit is, is to simply let the passages say their peace through him. For the preacher to reach the point where he no longer hinders or obstructs his text from speaking is harder work than sometimes realized."
You know, the biggest problem I have in Bible study is getting me out of the text; all my presuppositions, all my preconceptions, all my ideas and letting that text speak. Packard closes the statement by saying, "However, there can be no disputing that this is the task." Let me read it to you again, "The preacher is to reach the point where he no longer hinders or obstructs his text from speaking. And that is harder work than is sometimes realized."
Packard went on to say in the same article, "Preaching that does not display divine authority both in its content and its manner is not the substance but only the shadow of the real thing." I'm afraid there's a lot of shadow preaching. Preaching is being the voice for God to command. And only as the preacher is under the word can he command anything. That kind of preaching not only brings God's authority, but it brings His presence and His power. The only preaching God desire is authoritative, commanding, and it only occurs when we speak the Scripture.
And, you know, there's so little of that today. And, as Packard suggested, the biggest hindrance is the preacher. He just won't work hard enough to get out of the text. In another article that Packard wrote in the Ashland Theological Journal back in 1990 he said this, "Self-projection undermines and erodes authority. If be his words and manor, the preacher focuses attention on himself, thus modeling some mode of self-absorption or self-satisfaction, rather than humble response to the word that he proclaims, he precludes all possibility of his channeling any kind of sense of divine authority. What he does not feel himself, he cannot mediate to others." James Denny said somewhere that you cannot convey the impression both that you are a great preacher and that Jesus Christ is a great savior. He might have added, "Or that the Lord is a great God." "God projection and Christ projection rather than self-projection is the way to communicate and engender in one's hearer is the sense of one's authority in one's preaching." Then he goes on to say, "Self-reliance in the act of preaching is another hindrance to the true authority in preaching, just as self-projection is. It too has the effect of inducing the hearers to attend to the messenger rather than the message. In other words, to man rather than to God and authentic authority is eliminated when that happens." End quote. Sadly, as essential as this is, to the effective proclamation of divine truth, the church's purity and power, it is very rare - it is very rare when men speak with biblical authority. As John Scott said, "There are many popular preachers today, but where are the powerful ones?" And, actually, the truth is commanding is not what the people want to hear. They like sharing a lot better. Commanding is not popular and the church has caught the spirit of the day. The church wants to be entertaining, interesting, clever, sensational, tolerant, ego-building, and strong, authoritative commanding pulpits which bring the words that bear heavily on the heart are not popular. Why? Why is commanding, authoritative preaching unpopular today? Let me give you a few reasons. Well, let's see. How many did I write down? Well, I'll give you five.
Number one: poor preaching. Poor preaching or what we could call non-preaching is so common. Many have never heard the real thing. And when they hear it they think it's unkind or strange, foreign. And if it's penetrating and convicting and the conscience is hammered with the blows of biblical authority they think you're brutal and insensitive. Second reason: low expectations. People go to church; expect to be briefly interested; psychologically bumped up a few notches on the self-esteem scale; nothing more - certainly nothing harsh or judgmental. And, in fact, if somebody shows up and gives them some profound theology, even if they understood it, they wouldn't know what to do with it because they wouldn't have a frame of reference to stick it in. So it would just sort of float there, the legacy of poor preaching and low expectations.
Thirdly: spontaneity. I can remember one preacher who said - he was being interviewed on the radio and the interviewer said, "How do you get your sermons up?" He said, "I don't get them up. I get them down." I never got one down yet; I got to get them all up, you know. People hear so much spontaneous off-the-cuff preaching. There are preachers today who invent their theology even as they speak. And this is why they have no appetite for well prepared, profound, challenging, rich, insightful, provocative thinking deep truth. They have no theological frame of reference to put it in, and it seems isolated and irrelevant. And they walk out saying, "That was pretty heavy stuff, but that's not going to help me cope with the fact that I don't like my job."
Fourthly: liturgy. There are a lot of churches that are into a liturgy; stand up, sit down, bend over, turn right, turn left. I remember I was in Scotland one time and I was preaching in Edinburgh and a great time. I was asked to preach on a certain church there; great, old granite church. And a man said to me, "Now today we'll have a full church." I said, "Wonderful, what do you normally have?" He said, "About 20 people, but it will be full today because you have to come today to keep your membership in tact." So he said, "We're going to extend the time - the sermon to 18 minutes." Scotland is a long way to go for 18 minutes.
Now I knew I had to pack into those 18 minutes Matthew 7:21 and 22. "Many will say unto me, 'Lord, Lord.' And I'll say, 'Depart from Me. I never knew you.'" After I preached that 18 minute sermon he came to me in the back and he said, "That is an amazing thing you just did." And I said, "What was amazing about it?" And he said, "The whole thing came out of the Bible." That's exactly what he said to me. In some churches there is just a liturgy and sermonizing is just a piece of the liturgy.
But fifthly is the spirit of the age. I think the church has been infected with the anti-authority attitude that exists in our culture. Our culture wants tolerance, unity, nothing definitive, nothing divisive, right. And that has come into the church. Commanding people is just unacceptable. I was talking to some pastors today who were telling me there's a great conclave of churches coming together - pastors and church leaders coming together. And these are happening in a number of areas and are largely attended. And the first thing they ask you to do is to check your doctrine at the door and come in and embrace one another in a non-judgmental love.
That really is the spirit of the age. The secular or sinful culture doesn't want to be confronted; don't tell anybody what they can do or can't do. And that same kind of mindset has slipped into the church. Our whole society is anti-authority. Why is that? And I'm kind of stacking some things at you, but why is that? That's the nature of sin. Sin is lawlessness. Sin is rebellion. It's because of a lack of moral absolutes. If you don't have an oral standard, how can you say anything authoritatively? How can you command anybody anything if there isn't any standard? If you reject the Bible and you have no law and you have no standard and all you have is opinions, then there really isn't any such thing as authority. Everybody does what is right in his own eyes. And, then, thirdly, another reason why we have an anti-authority society - not only it's the nature of the human heart to be rebellious and because of the moral absolutes - but because of the failure of parents to discipline their children. Children are growing up without any sense of authority. In many cases nobody's even home. Everybody's gone, breakdown of the home, sexual immorality, divorce, failure to teach children the meaning of respect for authority has created a generation of young people who don't respect anything at all.
Then you have the media destruction. Number for of my little list: the media destruction of authority. They do everything they can to destroy everybody who's in authority. Anybody who's anybody they're going to try to slice up, from the president on down including the police, leaders. Then you have fifthly, the failure of leaders. They abuse authority. They fail to model virtue. They sin scandalously and people say, "Hey, they're no better - no better than anybody else. They're all the same." Another reason why we have an anti-authority mentality is because of humanism. Do you know in America we have an overestimation of personal rights? We're absolutely wild about personal rights. And that's the sort of humanism that's been sewn into our culture. We're engulfed in a sea of personal freedoms. That's all you ever hear about, personal rights, equal rights. Our constitution said God created all men equal and that's not true but we believe it. They may be equal - they may be entitled to equal treatment under the law, but they're not all equal. Up until the renaissance in Europe when we had the truth - when we had the birth of humanism supplant the truth of Christianity - the Reformation didn't last very long. Then came the Renaissance. The Bible, up until that point, had been considered the authority by the western world. The enlightenment, rationalism - the Renaissance changed all that. The Bible was put aside; the human mind was worshipped. There was no biblical authority, no divine authority. The Bible was just some book of prose, an ancient, flowery, ethical book. And humanism took over.
The only reason humanism didn't usurp the whole American culture for so long was that renaissance intellectualism had arrived along with Reformation faith in Western Europe. In Eastern Europe, Reformation faith was massacred in the communist revolutions, and all they were left with was humanism. In the western part, humanism coexisted with Christianity to one degree or another, and it kept the lid on humanism.
But, systematically, Christianity is being eliminated, and what is rising now is unexpurgated humanism. And humanism doesn't want any structure and it doesn't want any morals and it doesn't want any laws and it doesn't want any limits and it doesn't want any restraint. It doesn't want any control. It just wants to do whatever it wants to do. People want autonomy; they want freedom; they want self-determination. It's not a - it's not a time where you can just come along and exercise authority. The fact of the matter is - and it's a most interesting one - that even in the communist world where there was no Reformation faith, they held on to authority. And people there understand biblical authority better than people in western culture. I see a compliant church in Eastern Europe. I see people who step willingly and anxiously and eagerly under the authority of the word of God without a battle. I don't see that here, even people in the church. So we live in an anti-authority time. Now do we capitulate; do we come up with a new way to do things? Or do we follow the injunction of Scripture to speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. And at the end of verse 15 he says, "Let no one disregard you." Don't let anybody go around you, circumvent you.
We have a tremendous challenge. Those of us who preach speak authoritatively to a culture that doesn't want any of it. But will you remember this? Faith comes by hearing the truth. And if we mess with the truth, then we cut people off - right - from what God is able to do in their life. One closing quote and then I want to stop. J.R. Packard again, "Preaching has authority when both its substance and its style proclaim in a transparent way, the preacher's own humility before the Bible itself and before the triune God whose word the Bible is." There's so much in that sentence. "Preaching has authority when both its substance and style proclaim the preacher's humility before the Bible." He goes on, "It is as the preacher himself is truly under and is clearly seen to be under the authority of God in the Bible, that he will have authority and be felt to carry authority as God's spokesman. It needs to be obvious to the hearers that he has put himself whole-heartedly under the authority of the God whose emissary he is, of Christ, the Chief Shepherd whom he serves as a subordinate shepherd. And to whom he must one day give account of his service, and of the Holy Spirit, whom he trusts each moment as he preaches actually to communicate the divine message to his hearer's hearts. It is those under authority who have authority. It is those whose demeanor models submission to the Scripture and dependence on the Lord of the Word to mediate the experience of God's authority in preaching. Only those preachers, who are under the authority of the Word, will ever convey that authority." It's what we're all about.
And so, says Paul, "These things - the things that become sound doctrine, the revelation of God - speak, so the people may hear. Exhort so that they may believe. Reprove so that they may submit with all authority, comprehensive and unassailable. And don't let anybody get around that authority." Let's pray.
Father, so many things to say. Thank you for a wonderful night. Thank you for the expressions of love and kindness from our dear brothers from Eastern Europe. Thank you for expressions of kindness who were here by way of letter tonight and shared their love. Thank you for the Word; thank you for the music; thank you for the day. Our hearts are so full. Lead us now to rest, and as we rest, to rejoice and awaken tomorrow with a new commitment to be who you want us to be. We pray, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

GIBSONVILLE � Pat Lewis owned Pat�s Flowers & Gifts for 42 years before she put a note on the store�s front door saying she was retiring and would no longer own the shop.
Meanwhile, Carol Wilson, who lives in Graham with her husband, came to Gibsonville to see the lighting of the tree for Christmas, as they have done for the past couple of years. They were walking around the town when they found Pat�s Flowers & Gifts and saw Lewis� note.
The next day, Wilson came back with her husband to eat pizza at a local pizza parlor. When Lewis pulled up to Pat�s Flowers & Gifts, Wilson approached her and asked if somebody had bought the shop. Lewis said no but asked if Wilson would be interested.
�I looked down and said I was just asking a question,� Wilson said. �She said, �come on in here and let�s sit down a talk.� So, I came in and we sat down and talked and she told me what she was doing and told me all about the store. I left her and told her I would think about it.�
Wilson talked it over with her husband and decided buying the shop was something she wanted to undertake.
Previously, Wilson had spent 42 years working as an administrative director of radiology and had retired from Alamance Regional Medical Center. After a hectic and stressful career, Wilson said she hoped her retirement plan would involve volunteering or working in a flower shop.
�When I retired, I needed to do so many things at home that I had not done and then my husband and I would travel and its been five years since I retired and six years since he retired,� Wilson said. �When this became available I thought, �you know, I really would like to get back out with people and I think this is something I would really enjoy.��
On Jan. 1, 2013, Wilson bought Pat�s Flowers & Gifts and became the new owner. Two flower designers, each with over 25 years of experience, work in the store with her. Lewis will continue her involvement as a consultant.
Sharon Clark is one of the designers who worked with both women. She has a degree in floraculture and 28 years of experience in the field. Katherine Kitty-Swinney has 28 years' experience as a floral designer.
�When I worked for Ms. Lewis, I was new in the gang so it was a prime opportunity for her to show me what knowledge she could teach me,� Coark said. �It was very valuable at that time for me to work under her and learn everyday floral design.�
She said she enjoys working for Wilson, as well, especially because the tables have changed.
�I�ve been really fortunate to work with some wonderful designers over the years that have taught me things that I could have never learned in a book,� Coark said. �It was hands-on. Now, I get to pass this on to Ms. Wilson.�
Wilson said she is happy she could come out of retirement to take over Lewis� flower shop. The two women�s love for flowers has kept the store running.

After conflict weakened the Lenoir County Fairgrounds, a group of volunteers revitalized the site, which now flourishes year-round.
It took hundreds and thousands hours of service to revitalize a weakened fairgrounds site seven years ago, but volunteers were much obliged.
The Lenoir County Fairgrounds and its facilities were in bad shape when ownership was handed over to the Lenoir County Fair Association. The county�s then-Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) chapter was in charge of the fairgrounds, but members passed the torch after slumping interest and financial conflicts between the two groups surfaced. The Jaycees disbanded after the LCFA took over.
The LCFA and other volunteers from the surrounding community have worked towards multiple repairs and restoring the once-proud fairgrounds to its former glory.
Now the county fair, along with various other stirring activities � such as motorsports, lives on.
The past: Falling Out
Local CPA Lloyd Moody has been a fair association member since 1972 and recalls the transition of the fairgrounds rights.
Moody said the local Jaycees initially purchased the fairgrounds. The fair association and the chamber group formed a cooperative effort to manage and operate the site at 401 Fairground Road in Kinston.
The agreement was the LCFA would use its financial portion for facility upkeep and fairground maintenance while the Jaycees would fund community projects.
�Things operated very well up until about 2005,� Moody said. �It seems like Jaycees membership fell down to five or six members. That caused some discourse between the fair association and the Jaycees over what the Jaycees was doing with money.�
The fair association officials began questioning the Junior Chamber members after noticing the Jaycees weren�t fulfilling their end of the original arrangement, Moody said.
�We never saw anything that was being done, and we confronted them with it,� he said. �They would never provide us with any documentation of what they were doing with their proceeds, which left a bad taste in the mouth of the Fair Association members. That was the real rub that started it all.�
Kinston Mayor B.J. Murphy, who was a member of the Jaycees before his 2005 mayoral campaign, said he and several other young business leaders were recruited into the organization after the LCFA was concerned about Jaycee spending.
�I was one of several involved in what happened,� said Murphy, who was one of about a dozen professionals who stepped in. �The fair association had some doubts about the financial handling of the Jaycees fund. � The fair association wanted some accountability, and quite obviously, the Jaycees needed it based on that past leadership.�
The previous leaders of the organization were in question after failing to explain what appeared to be fund misappropriation, including an all-expense paid trip to Disneyworld in Orlando for Jaycees.
�The conclusion was made that the previous Jaycees had, in fact, not been good stewards of their funds,� Murphy said, �but if both sides could agree to some type of arrangement with the property and how it was going to be managed � it would just be water under the rug.�
The parties compromised, but the Jaycees eventually disbanded.
�The right people took over ownership of the fairgrounds,� Murphy said. �Ever since that property transferred hands, the fair has become a better fair. � It was a great deal for Lenoir County.�
The Future: Rebirth
A typical year for the fairgrounds is filled with ongoing, major renovations, according to fair association members.
�All those improvements didn�t happen over night,� Moody said. �There have been thousands of hours and volunteers.�
The fair association is a volunteer organization, with no membership cost, and it completely operates the Lenoir County Fairgrounds. The facilities on site include two buildings, which are often rented out for various activities, a livestock arena and motorsports tracks.
Aside from the Lenoir County Fair itself, the motorsport additions to the fairgrounds have drawn many from around the country. A fall car show, put on by renters, also brings many people to the fairgrounds and to Lenoir County.
Brian Hussey, the LCFA member in charge of motorsports, became involved with the fairgrounds efforts to build a motocross track six years ago.
�It just translated to more and more,� he said. �I just really wanted to come out and build a motocross track and run races during the fair. We got a really good group of people together that all had specific talent of some sort.�
The volunteers� skills ranged from operating equipment, construction knowledge and everything in between. There was already a demolition derby track. They revamped the area and converted it into a multipurpose complex.
The site hosts an annual dirt track champion series, drawing in hundreds from around the county.
�All the racing was just to be an enhancement to the fairgrounds, just to give these fairgrounds another purpose,� Hussey said. �It was something to add an attraction to the fair. We want it to get bigger and bigger.�
Other attractions include an annual car show hosted at the fairgrounds and multiple events put on by those who rent the area.
The facilities sit on 58 acres of land in Lenoir County, operating in some fashion year-round. But the fair draws about 20,000 people, according to LCFA Executive Vice Director Mark Pilgreen.
�I think everybody has grown up with a county fair,� he said. �Around here, especially in the Southeast and the South, county fairs are just a staple thing that everyone looks forward to going to.�
The Lenoir County Fair Association, according to Moody, has contributed thousands of dollars to the community.
�We�re one of the largest civic groups in the community,� said Moody, citing the fairground fundraising projects and income, with the latter supporting Lenoir Community College scholarships.
Less than a decade after the fairgrounds were in financial dire straits, Moody said the LCFA is debt-free and will continue promoting progress in Lenoir County through contributions.
�That�s the whole purpose of it,� Moody said. �I totally believe � the Lenoir County Fair Association through this fair is going to continue to be one of the largest contributors to Lenoir County.�

What is Just War?
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, in
paragraphs 2302-2317, authoritatively teaches what constitutes the just
defense of a nation against an aggressor. Called the Just War Doctrine,
it was first enunciated by St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD). Over the
centuries it was taught by Doctors of the Church, such as St. Thomas
Aquinas, and formally embraced by the Magisterium, which has also
adapted it to the situation of modern warfare. The following explanation
of Just War Doctrine follows the schema given in the Catechism.
Righteous versus Unrighteous Anger (2302-3)
Anger is a desire for revenge. Anger is the
passion (emotion) by which a man reacts to evil, real or apparent, and
seeks vindication of his rights, that is, justice. By itself
the passion is neither moral or immoral, but becomes so by reason or its
being ordered or disordered - that is, reasonable according to the
circumstances. An ordered anger is directed to a legitimate object,
and, with an appropriate degree of vehemence. An
inordinate anger is directed either to an illegitimate object, or, with an
unreasonable vehemence. As St. Thomas Aquinas notes, vice may be by
defect, as well as excess. So, the presence of evil should
provoke a righteous anger, which if absent constitutes a sinful
Consider the just anger of the Lord to the presence in the
Temple of the money-changers and the action He took (John 2:13-17).
Provoked by this offense against His Father, Jesus formed whips and
drove them from the Temple. Righteous anger, and the acts which
flow from it, intend the correction of vice (both for the good of the individual
sinner and the common good), the restoring of the
order of justice disturbed by sin, and the restraint of further evil.
On the other hand, unjust anger seeks to do evil to another for its
own sake, the harm to body or soul that it entails. While one may
desire, and employ, physical force for the sake of correction, restraint
of evil and restoring justice, even if it entails injury and death, one
may never desire it for its own sake. To desire some slight injury for
an evil motive would be venially sinful. To desire grave injury or
death would be gravely sinful. A Christian may never, of course, desire
the damnation of the evil doer. Charity requires that we will the good,
especially the ultimate good, salvation, for every human being.
Unfortunately, the entertainment media often promotes an image of anger
and vengeance which is closer to blood lust than to justice.
Peace - the Work of Justice and the Tranquility of Order
Whether it is justice within society, or the
interior justice of holiness, peace is its fruit. Righteous anger,
and the means it employs, should not knowingly produce less justice and
less peace than existed before evil intervened. Human prudence, however,
is fallible. It cannot necessarily predict the ploys of the adversary,
both human and demonic. In addition, fallen human nature is inclined to
sin, and thus prone to respond with excess to provocation. Thus, even
virtue and a well-formed conscience can fail to produce the desired
result of justice and peace. Great restraint must be shown, therefore,
in the use of violence to achieve justice. In addition to the efforts of
those who work assiduously for peace, "the peacemakers",
society needs the example of those who renounce violence altogether.
Their "witness to the gravity of the physical
and moral risks of recourse to violence, with all its destruction and
death" should serve to restrain the use of even justified force.
Such conscientious objection is a valuable service to society. As
the Catechism makes clear, it must be accompanied by the willingness to
serve in other capacities (cf. 2311), however.
Just War (2307-17)
All citizens and all
governments are obliged to work for the avoidance of war. Despite
this admonition of the Church, it sometimes becomes necessary to use force
to obtain the end of justice. This is the right, and the duty, of those
who have responsibilities for others, such as civil leaders and police
forces. While individuals may renounce all violence those who must
preserve justice may not do so, though it should be the last resort,
"once all
peace efforts have failed." [Cf. Vatican II, Gaudium et spes
79, 4]
As with all moral acts the use of force to obtain justice must comply
with three conditions to be morally good. First, the act must be good in
itself. The use of force to obtain justice is morally licit in itself.
Second, it must be done with a good intention, which as noted earlier
must be to correct vice, to restore justice or to restrain evil, and not
to inflict evil for its own sake. Thirdly, it must be appropriate in the
circumstances. An act which may otherwise be good and well motivated can
be sinful by reason of imprudent judgment and execution.
In this regard Just War doctrine gives certain conditions for the legitimate
exercise of force, all of which must be met:
"1. the damage inflicted by
the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting,
grave, and certain;
2. all other means of
putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or
3. there must be serious
prospects of success;
4. the use of arms must not
produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. The
power of modern means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating
this condition" [CCC 2309].
"1. the damage inflicted by
the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting,
grave, and certain;
2. all other means of
putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or
3. there must be serious
prospects of success;
4. the use of arms must not
produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. The
power of modern means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating
this condition" [CCC 2309].
The responsibility for determining whether
these conditions are met belongs to "the prudential judgment of those who
have responsibility for the common good." The Church's role
consists in enunciating clearly the principles, in forming the
consciences of men and in insisting on the moral exercise of just
The Church greatly respects those who have dedicated their lives to
the defense of their nation. "If
they carry out their duty
honorably, they truly contribute to the common good of the nation and
the maintenance of peace. [Cf. Gaudium et spes 79, 5]"
However, she cautions combatants that not everything is licit in war. Actions which are
forbidden, and which constitute morally unlawful orders that may not be followed,
- attacks against, and mistreatment of, non-combatants, wounded soldiers, and prisoners;
- genocide, whether of a people, nation or ethnic minorities;
- indiscriminate destruction
of whole cities or vast areas with their inhabitants.
- attacks against, and mistreatment of, non-combatants, wounded soldiers, and prisoners;
- genocide, whether of a people, nation or ethnic minorities;
- indiscriminate destruction
of whole cities or vast areas with their inhabitants.
Given the modern means of warfare, especially
nuclear, biological and chemical, these crimes against humanity must be
especially guarded against.
In the end it is not enough to wage war to achieve justice without
treating the underlying causes. "Injustice, excessive economic or social inequalities, envy,
distrust, and pride raging among men and nations constantly
threaten peace and cause wars. Everything done to overcome these disorders
contributes to building up peace and avoiding war" [CCC
2317]. The Church has no illusions that true justice and peace can be
attained before the Coming of the Lord. It is the duty of men of good
will to work towards it, nonetheless. In the words of the spiritual
dictum, we
should work as if everything depended upon our efforts, and pray as if
everything depended upon God.

Get more out of your next run with these expert tips
Don't Run Heels First
1 of 10All photos
Avoid striking the pavement with your heels—save that for your power walks. "When you walk, you keep one foot in contact with the ground, while running has a moment of weightlessness in the stride," says Alex Figueroa, a running coach and creator of Priority1 Wellness in Miami Beach. Running with a heel landing can contribute to back and knee pain.
Do Land on the Midsole of Your Foot
2 of 10All photos
Landing on your forefoot (instead of your heels) allows your muscles to catch the weight of your body in flight, reducing the effects of impact on the joints and bones, says Figueroa.
Don't Use a Long Stride
3 of 10All photos
Leaping forward while you run is inefficient and an energy drain. Instead, stand tall and lean forward, and when you feel like you are going to fall, step forward just enough to catch yourself. This should be the length of your stride. It takes less energy to fall than to reach your foot in front of you.
Do Take Short Effective Strides
4 of 10All photos
Less motion through the joint means less wear and tear and improved efficiency during your runs, says Figueroa. Using a shorter stride reduces the movement within any joint (for running, this means the joints of the ankles, knees, and hips), and less movement means a longer, healthier life for these joints.
Don't Wear Shoes That Are Too Comfortable
5 of 10All photos
The human body works with one major premise: use it or lose it. If your support is coming from an external source, like your shoes, then the muscles designed to support the framework of the foot (i.e. the arches), will eventually fail to do their job, making the foot weaker and your body more prone to injury.
Do Invest In Barefoot Running Shoes
6 of 10All photos
"When it comes to support, less is more," says Figueroa. Build up to wearing shoes with minimal support, like NIKE Free or Vibram Five Fingers, to help strengthen and develop the natural muscular support in your foot and ankle. But don't toss your sneakers just yet – slowly begin by running, one block at a time, with less support to gradually strengthen the muscles in your feet. Developing foot strength can help make everything stronger, including your ankles, knees, hips, and lower back, says Figueroa.
Don't Run as Hard As You Can
7 of 10All photos
Many runners think if they can run fast, they are running efficiently, which isn't the case. In fact, Figueroa recommends runners slow down to learn how to run farther, faster. "Slow down and wear a heart rate monitor to train smarter, not harder," suggests Figueroa. Set your heart rate monitor to keep your running at a desired pace, and then don't exceed that set pace. Your body will adapt, and then you'll be able to run more comfortably at this pace, meaning you will be able to run faster without pushing any harder.
Do Work Up to Running Farther, Faster
8 of 10All photos
Build your run one block, or one minute at a time, says Figueroa. Walk between running intervals and recover actively. You can work on speed or form and technique during your "work intervals" and then recover with an easy jog or power walk in between. Interval training can provide you with faster results in the same amount of time.
Don't Get Stuck on the Odometer
9 of 10All photos
Running three, five or even 26 miles doesn't really tell you if there is any progress in your run, says Figueroa. Instead, track the amount of time that you're running and monitor your intensity using a heart rate monitor.
Do Run for Time
10 of 10All photos
Try to improve covering the same distance in less time. For example, set your workout to run for 30 minutes and see how much distance you can cover instead of running for four miles harder than you can safely run, suggests Figueroa. The more you train, the easier your runs will become. You can either cover the same distance with greater ease, or maintain the same intensity and run farther in the same amount of time.

Justin Bieber Defends Friend From Fan Criticism [PHOTO]
A Belieber always has Justin Bieber's best interests at heart. However, one dedicated fan took things a little too far and posted their concern about The Biebs and his crew. The Biebs was bothered by these comments, so he posted a note on Instagram in response.
The fan comment is as follows. It's not quite clear which member of the singer's vast posse the fan is referring to, since he hangs out with everyone from Ryan Butler to Lil Twist. Khalil is referenced, though.
We're surprised that he even noticed these comments in the first place, since he is undoubtedly assaulted with tens of thousands of comments, tweets and other social media communications on a daily if not hourly basis.
The Biebs posted his reply as the caption, writing the following note, dragging the man upstairs into it.
It's not your place to judge. God put these people in my life for a reason, and just because they are African American that makes them a bad influence?? These are the people that I love and all of us are going to help make the world a better place.
As stated previously, we're not sure what member of his entourage the fan was referring to, but Beiber comments that it is one of his African-American friends.
The Biebs has had a drama-fueled 2013 and he is not letting anyone lay the blame at the doorstep of his friends.
He loves his friends and the people in his life and defends them to the end.

How Technology is Transforming My Business
By Bayo Odutola, Managing Principal, OLLIP PC
Technology can transform small and medium-sized (SMB) organizations. For proof of this, look no further than my Ottawa-based boutique law firm OLLIP P.C.
With only a team of four lawyers and trademark agents, we protect the intellectual property (IP) assets of global enterprises, interacting with massive law offices along the way. To work with larger firms on global IP asset cases and compete with other larger outfits for clients, we were looking for a way to present OLLIP to clients, peers and prospects in a way that didn't scream 'we're a small business!' And we found one aspect of this with technology.
We deployed a Cisco Unified Communications 540 System for Small Business as well as a variety of Cisco 7900 Series Unified IP Phones. We also take advantage of Cisco WebEx™ to conference with clients or partners around the world.
That's a lot of techno-speak, and what it really comes down to is this: my company now has the look and feel of a large law firm. The benefits of these solutions – increased scalability, simplified user management and software updates for IT staff – are helping us grow, become more profitable and gain new clients.
Of course, these benefits also happen to have cool features. Here are my three favourite features of the technology we've deployed, which could benefit any Canadian SMB looking to compete with the biggest players in their respective industries.
Single number reach – If OLLIP's lawyers had one direct line each, perhaps this wouldn't have been so important to us. But I alone have four phone numbers, spread across multiple continents. If a client needs to call me, the ability to give them one number that rings all my mobile phones is an absolute game changer.
Security camera integration – We're planning to install a video surveillance camera and integrate it with our aforementioned phones using Cisco MonitorView. This will allow us video camera access from the phones' screen display and to open the front door. The ability to integrate physical security with our phone system is an incredible plus for me.
Automated attendant/conferencing features – This is so important for us at OLLIP. Using the UC Manager Auto-Attendant immediately made us appear like a much bigger law office, both internally and client-facing. We can customize the prompts that are played for clients when they call the office, receive/save voicemails via email from anywhere and create on-the-fly conference rooms even when I am off site.
Technology has transformed OLLIP and the way we do business. If you're on the fence about technology and what it can really do, take a look at where you are now and where you want to be. Chances are, technology will be the key (along with an excellent staff) that will make it happen.
To learn more about OLLIP P.C.'s story, read their case study.

The news channel was reporting a nightmare. Aerial images of Hurricane Irene looked like the sky in the film "Independence Day." I was babysitting with the grandchildren. They were scared, so I turned off the TV for a while. There were several emergency trips to the bathroom. Yellow journalists from as far away as Seattle, were taking pictures of downed trees in Hoboken, NJ.
I spotted a family of ducks running for their lives:
Storm damage in Central Park amounted to a pile of pine nuts and fallen cones:
Each of our vehicles was equipped with a window punch, batteries, flashlight, cases of bottled water, and giant boxes of Cheerios from Sam's Club in case of a flash flood. The Jiffy peanut butter took the back seat.
All the airports and public transportation were closed.
I said a quick prayer to St. Anthony of Padua; I hadn't been able to find my dentures for two days. I finally found them in the fish aquarium. No, the lights were not out; in my haste, I missed the cup.
The Angel fish were getting high on Fixodent. They were performing more aerial maneuvers than Asian carp. I was nervous as a cat, but not strung out like a chihuahua yet, and the kids were terrorized.
I didn't know what else to do, we watched "Charlie Bit My Finger" 25 times on YouTube already, so I made up a Pooh story. I didn't end the story. I told the kids we would do that in the morning. I was considering three endings. One of them involved Noah's Ark, another how Piglet forgot to waterproof the house; finally, the blustery day.
This morning, I logged on to Facebook to find out if my friends were still alive. They are!
The kids are eating omelets, "Charlie Bit My Finger" is playing on the PC, and "Baby Monkey Riding Backwards on a Pig" is our family theme song of the day.

From The Jewish Chronicle
Candice Krieger
March 26, 2009
'Circumcise Me'. That's the name of the debut movie by Jerusalem-based news reporter and film director Matthew Kalman.
Mr Kalman, 48, teamed up with photographer David Blumenfeld to co-direct the hit comedy. Circumcise Me: The Comedy of Yisrael Campbell traces the life of Catholic boy-turned-Jewish comedian Yisrael Campbell, whose story turns out to be one of wild self-discovery.
Mr Campbell — formerly known as Chris Campbell — undergoes three conversions: from Catholicism to Reform Judaism, to Conservative Judaism and then to Orthodox Judaism.
The film, which has been generating a lot of interest at film festivals across Canada and the US, has now arrived in the UK.
Mr Kalman, who made aliyah ten years ago, tells People: "During the intifada, I spent a lot of time reporting on and filming people getting blown up. People were generally interested in blood and guts and it was all very depressing. David and I decided we wanted to do something more fun. I went to see Yisrael perform and knew we had our subject."
They started working on the film in 2005. It took three years to complete. "It was a really long process," says Mr Kalman, who reports for Channel 4 in the UK, among other media. "I am a news reporter but have always been interested in comedy. I thought making a film would be easy. I was wrong."
Nonetheless, Mr Kalman is pleased with the outcome. "There is a Life of Brian-type feel to the film," he says. "It is a really funny, feelgood creation. It's about the intifada but it's also about how life is lived in Israel. As journalists here, we often have to cover deaths — but we wanted to capture that absurdist humour."
