Now we are finally getting somewhere. Just like Obama is ineligible technically because his fathers British Nationality 'governed' his birth status in 1961, Ted Cruz is ineligible too. Fox News has confirmed it and rightly so. Sean Hannity made a huge blunder the other day and declared Ted Cruz a natural born citizen because he was born to a American mother in Canada. He was so wrong. Cruz is a 14th Amendment U.S. 'statutory' (not natural born) citizen which is something completely different than a Article 2 Section 1 Constitutional natural born Citizen which is explicitly designed only for the presidency by the framers.
Technically, Birtherism started with the Dems. It was Hillary's camp that started it.
State Departments Foreign Affairs Manual???? I am really surprised that anybody nowadays would quote anything from the State Department as being "Gospel". Inasmuch as "Natural Born" is not defined in the Constitution and only has been subject to many interpretations, do you think it was possible back in the late 1700's that they intended "Natural Born" to mean "Not By Witchcraft"? Put your Cheetos down and go do something productive.
We lost the election because we nominated a liberal.
Another stupid blunder by CodeToad trying to sound intelligent.
At this point even an anchor baby could become president.
At this point even an anchor baby could become A DEMOCRAT president.
BUT Cruz is not black... makes all the difference..
Course Obama is NOT BLACK either.. at least any blacker than he is white..
But then many famous blacks are not any blacker than they are white.. i.e. Alicia Keys.. Rev. Wright, Louie Farrakand.. Niki Menage,,
Could be because they have "A" white, asian or hispanic parent..
but mostly just because they ARE NOT BLACK.. at all..
but mostly "TALK" black as a masked "patois"..
"He isnt a natural born Citizen born to two U.S. citizen parents."
Please give the pinpoint cite in the US Const, US Code, or the Code of Federal Regulations, that supports that definition. Actually, I'll save you the time. It isn't there b/c your definition isn't the law.
Cruz lived in Canada the first four years of his life. How do you know what allegiance he held at that age? And what makes you so certain that Cruz's parents held allegiance to the USA back then? Perhaps they intended to move to Canada permenantly, but decided to move back here after the fact.
Canada is sort of America-Lite, except for Quebec.
Canadians are Americans.
Depends on how far away from Quebec one is.....
My former boss was from the Canadian mid west, He served in Vietnam VOLUNTARILY!!! And he was a very big fan of John Wayne and was a Republican!!!!
He was from Saskatchewan!!!!
Being born elsewhere removes that exclusivity.
We don't honor that now, since foreigners can be born here and we claim them as our own and give them full rights.
But you're saying it doesn't work both ways? Why? What if the other country disagrees.
So, you're born in America, you are an American. If you're born in England, you're an American. But if an English citizen couple gives birth here that child isn't English, but American? Or is that only true for illegal aliens?
Stupid old white FFs. Everybody is a natural born citizen of America, now, no matter where they are born!!!
I am getting a little weary of the point of law as defined by the old boys club.
I thought the constitution and bill of rights were based on positive, rather than negative rights.
The Constitution and bill of rights were not intended to stifle the human spirit.
Sometimes these entrenched keepers of the fire forget that.
When we have let the Constitution be ignored and then say it is OK to ignore it because now our guy is able to use the same tact, what have we become?
Despicably wicked comes to mind.
Let them choke on it!
7 FAM 1113 NOT INCLUDED IN THE MEANING OF IN THE UNITED STATESAdditionally, acquiring one's citizenship at birth by statute may not be equal to natural-born citizenship under the Constitution. The following text is from the State Department's Foreign Affairs Manual.c. Birth on U.S. Military Base Outside of the United States or Birth on U.S. Embassy or Consulate Premises Abroad:
(1) Despite widespread popular belief, U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. diplomatic facilities are not part of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment. A child born on the premises of such a facility is not subject to U.S. jurisdiction and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth.
7 FAM 1131.6-2 Eligibility for Presidency(TL:CON-68; 04-01-1998)
a. It has never been determined definitively by a court whether a person who acquired U.S. citizenship by birth abroad to U.S. citizens is a natural born citizen within the meaning of Article II of the Constitution and, therefore, eligible for the Presidency.
d. (snip) In any event, the fact that someone is a natural born citizen pursuant to a statute does not necessarily imply that he or she is such a citizen for Constitutional purposes.
If Cruz is elected by the voters and their electors, he is qualified. Period.
A candidate's qualification to be president is a question to be decided by the people and not by a handful of judges.
If Cruz wants to run, he should run and argue his case to the people. And, judges should each get one vote like everyone else.
You and I can certainly give our opinions as to what it means, or ought to mean, but they're not worth a whole lot.
You might not like that, but it's the truth.
I think the idea that it requires being born on U.S. soil makes some sense, but I don't know if I buy the idea that parents must *both* be citizens. I think that being born on U.S. soil, legally, is enough. I don't see any evidence that would indicate otherwise.
As for Ted Cruz, no, he would not qualify under that scenario. But, like I said, until the courts rule, we really don't know what the actual interpretation will be.
You realize that was written before the US even exisited and has no bearing or authority in US law.
"No person except a natural-born citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution shall be eligible to the office of President, [Footnote 7]" and that Congress shall have power "to establish a uniform rule of naturalization."
Thus, new citizens may be born or they may be created by naturalization.
The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case, it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens. The words "all children" are certainly as comprehensive, when used in this connection, as "all persons," and if females are included in the last, they must be in the first. That they are included in the last is not denied. In fact, the whole argument of the plaintiffs proceeds upon that idea.
--Page 88 U. S. 168
Under the power to adopt a uniform system of naturalization, Congress, as early as 1790, provided "that any alien, being a free white person," might be admitted as a citizen of the United States, and that the children of such persons so naturalized, dwelling within the United States, being under twenty-one years of age at the time of such naturalization, should also be considered citizens of the United States, and that the children of citizens of the United States that might be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, should be considered as natural-born citizens. [Footnote 8] These provisions thus enacted have in substance been retained in all the naturalization laws adopted since. In 1855, however, the last provision was somewhat extended, and all persons theretofore born or thereafter to be born out of the limits of the jurisdiction of the United States, whose fathers were or should be at the time of their birth citizens of the United States were declared to be citizens also. [Footnote 9]
--Page 88 U. S. 168
See my post @ 214.
Vladmir Putin, Mao, and everyone else are now eligible, as long as all paychecks first go to the Federal government through Extortion-Care, and "bank" stress tests consist of how fast they have free and immediate access to taxpayer money.
If he runs I'd bet, if they take the case at all, the courts (ultimately the Supreme Court if necessary) will rule Cruz eligible.
The old fake but accurate ploy, works every time. If we become them, then why have an election at all?
See my post at 189. U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. consulates are not considered U.S. soil for the purposes of citizenship at birth.
"...wow, so if I am on vacation while pregnant, say I am in the Bahamas chilling on the beach, and my baby comes early, my baby is not a citizen? Just want to clarify...."
Yes. your baby is a U.S. citizen. Eligibility requirements for POTUS (pre-odongo) would probably not be met.
This has been a known issue for a very long time. I was born in 1950 on the US/Canadian border. The only hospital was on the Canadian side. Both my parents were U.S. citizens. Because of this very issue, they elected to birth at home on the American side so as to FOREVER avoid this issue. Not that I ever wanted to run, or ever wanted the job, of POTUS, I would at least be eligible and be able to avoid just this kind of stuff. Clear as mud, I know.
Let them choke on it!
Let them??? Let Them???
This is exactly how it will play out. If Cruz wishes to run, he won't have any problems.
Senator Cruz is going to do no such thing. Nothing would torpedo his career faster than throwing his lot in with a bunch of nutjob conspiracy mongers.
ORLY? Check out Article I, Section 8, Clause 10 'Law of Nations'
The full title of Vattel's work was the The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law, and it was what the Founders used to WRITE the Constituion.
Not only in an UNoffical capacity-
I am much obliged by the kind present you have made us of your edition of Vattel. It came to us in good season, when the circumstances of a rising state make it necessary frequently to consult the law of nations. Accordingly, that copy which I kept, (after depositing one in our own public library here, and sending the other to the college of Massachusetts Bay, as you directed has been continually in the hands of the members of our congress, now sitting, who are much pleased with your notes and preface, and have entertained a high and just esteem for their author. Your manuscript Idee sur le gouvernment et la royauté, is also well relished, and may, in time, have its effect. I thank you, likewise, for the other smaller pieces, which accompanied Vattel.
Benjamin Franklin To Charles-Guillaume-Frédéric Dumas, Philadelphia December 9, 1775.
but also in an OFFICAL capacity as well-
Journal of the Senate of the United States of America / Monday / March 10, 1794 / Volume 2 / page 44
Ordered, That the Secretary purchase Blackstone's Commentaries, and Vattel's Law of Nature and Nations, for the use of the Senate.
Even after Ratification, legal scholars continued to state the importance of Vattel's work within the mechanics of Constituional Law.
It will he remembered, that the object of the several states in the adoption of that instrument, was not the establishment of a general consolidated government, which should swallow up the state sovereignties, and annihilate their several jurisdictions, and powers, as states; but a federal government, with powers limited to certain determinate objects; viz. their intercourse and concerns with foreign nations; and with each other, as separate and independent states; and, as members of the same confederacy: leaving the administration of their internal, and domestic concerns, to the absolute and uncontrolable jurisdiction of the states, respectively; except in one or two particular instances, specified, and enumerated in the constitution. And because this principle was supposed not to have been expressed with sufficient precision, and certainty, an amendatory article was proposed, adopted, and ratified; whereby it is expressly declared, that, "the powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." This article is, indeed, nothing more than an express recognition of the law of nations; for Vattel informs us, "that several sovereign, and independent states may unite themselves together by a perpetual confederacy, without each in particular ceasing to be a perfect state.
Of the Unwritten, or Common Law of England; And Its Introduction into, and Authority Within the United American States
George Tucker
Just because we have been told all our lives by our government educators that the federal government is the sole arbitrator of what the Constitution MEANS doesn't make it true.
Maybe because as Patriots we feel the Constitution and Bill of Rights actually mean something.
Feel free to garner a movement to amend the Constitution declaring that we are all Citizens of the World, as Obama claimed to be on his European pre-election tour.
Kumbaya everyone.
We nominated no one, and Romney is far from liberal.
I backed Rick Perry, but many here told me he was an insider charlatan and then others told me he was a dufus no count.
Truth is, he has done a pretty decent job of keeping the peace and prosperity.
I almost voted for Kinky Friedman in one election cycle because Rick was getting a little to big for his britches.
I figured, Kinky would make Willie Nelson his energy Czar. the two would sit around the Govs mansion wearing cowboy hats. playin guitars and smoking doobies and no harmful legislation would be passed LOL.
While I like serious effective politicians I would rather most of them fade into the grey and just get out of the peoples bussiness
"...I would continue to push Cruz. Lets see how the Democrats react...."
I wholly agree. It will bring out the worst hypocrisy you'll ever see. They pushed that used sack of Kenyan goat crap onto America without vetting him, or they kept it well-hidden. His father was a British subject!...unless it was Marshall. Who knows what he really is. The communists really have no voice when it comes to Cruz.
"Just like Obama is ineligible technically because his fathers British Nationality 'governed' his birth status in 1961, Ted Cruz is ineligible too."
It was the Obama campaign that claimed in twisted legal language that THE CHILDREN of BHO Sr. were "governed by" the BNA of 1948...and concluded that Barry was a UK subject at birth. But how reliable is the Obot legal team????
If you actually read the BNA of 1948 you discover that only the LEGAL children are UK subjects at birth, NOT illegitimate children of bigamous marriages.
Contemporaneous legal documents in the INS FOIA file reveal a strong suspicion by the INS, the U of HI, and Harvard that BHO Sr. had a wife back in Kenya. A letter in the Tom Mboya archive from BHO Sr. to Mboya asks Mboya to look after HIS WIFE in Nairobi circa 1964. UK Kenya Colony law has statutes against bigamy and against mixing tribal, Christian and Muslim marriages. BHO Sr. was Muslim in name only, was educated in a Christian-only school and did NOT have a Muslim marriage to Kezia and gave his first son by Kezia a Christian name (son only later coverted to being Muslim) and a daughter of the marriage to Kezia was not raised Muslim. In 1964, hard-drinking Marxist non-Muslim BHO Sr. returned to Kenya after independence and married an American white Jewish woman.
Therefore, if any US court ever ruled that Barry's UK father prevented him from being NBC at birth, Barry could just point to the fact that for single mothers, nationality follows the mother, not the father both at the time of the founding and going forward. So there would be no dual citizenship and on foreign clam on loyalty, the primary NBC concern of the founders, if Barry's mom was legally single at birth.
Joe Arpaio is an experienced federal and state LEO who claims he has proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Barry's HI LFBC is a forgery. If true, there is no proof that Barry was born on US soil, although there is overwhelming circumstantial evidence in the INS FOIA files that SADO is his mom and that BHO Sr. was fingered by U of HI as the dad and considered to be the dad by the INS.
And if Obama somehow got away with having 11 wives or marrying his daughter, that means we throw all law, morality and history out the window?
"Canada is sort of America-Lite..."
The comedienne Kathleen Madigan had a great bit about Canada:
"Canada is like America's attic. You hardly ever go up there, but when you do, you look around and say: 'Wow, there's some cool s**t up here!'"
No, we.did not. That is a ridiculous statement.
Do you Honestly believe that if you are a good citizen of the USA and your child is born overseas, and embraces and loves you and the USA, your child should be denied your beliefs and legacy?
Is that in the constitution?
Correct, but that citizenship is obtained by statute rather than under the 14th Amendment. See my post @214 for the details of the following statement: According to the State Dept., statutory citizenship at birth may not be equivalent to natural-born citizenship obtained under the U.S. Constitution on U.S. soil. Statutory citizens at birth may not be eligible for the presidency. The courts have never ruled on it.
No problems, except for getting vote from people who don't see him as being eligible or want anything to do with his politics.
I love the guy and think he's getting off to a tremendous start in the Senate!
But running him for POTUS will be divisive for the party that runs him, since those who like him but like the Constitution more won't vote for him and the other half of the country never would vote for him any way.
That sort of divide and conquer works against you if you want to win the WH.
They break the law, then so should we, once we take over we can start obeying the Constitution right?
When has that ever happened? Power seized by a government is rarely if ever voluntarily relinquished.
No two anything can give birth. An individual female being in the mammalian category gives birth.
One parent is a U.S. citizen at the time of birth and the birthdate is before November 14, 1986 but after October 10, 1952 and...
The parents are married at the time of birth and the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. or its territories for a period of at least ten years at some time in his or her life prior to the birth, at least five of which were after his or her 14th birthday.
It is the truth.
4 million single issue Repubs did not vote.
Good job /s
Where are we now? I will tell you where we are now.
We are doing a preemptive strike on one of our brightest rising stars.
And here I am pinching my nose and wondering why.
From Wiki: Martin Van Buren (Dutch: Maarten van Buren pronunciation (help·info) ; December 5, 1782 July 24, 1862) was the eighth President of the United States (18371841). Before his presidency, he was the eighth Vice President (18331837) and the tenth Secretary of State (1829-1831), both under Andrew Jackson. Van Buren was a key organizer of the Democratic Party, a dominant figure in the Second Party System, and the first president not of British or Irish descenthis family was Dutch. He was the first president to have been born a United States citizen,[2] his predecessors having been born British subjects before the American Revolution.[3] He is the only president not to have spoken English as his first language, having grown up speaking Dutch,[4] and the first president from New York.
I was born in America to an American father and an Italian mother. My mother naturalized when she was 50 years old, and I was 13.
I have never considered myself eligible to be President.
I can be a Senator, like Cruz, or a Congressman, but not President.
I don't have a problem with that.
I have been here a long time and that is one of the dumbest comments I've ever read. This is a Republic and it is governed by laws, not mob rule!
And that interpretation bothers me, because, for example, it also excludes children born to people with a job requiring a temporary position abroad. At the same time we bestow US citizenship on the children of those that sneak into the US while mantaining citizenship elsewhere.
When the Constitution was written people didn't jet off to foreign lands for a vacation or quick visit, the travel was long and arduous. The trip was probably taken because you wanted to immigrate to a new country or had to serve in an official capacity as a representative of the government.
In the case of yldstrk having to give birth while vacationing in the Bahamas we have (I presume) two parents that are US citizens with true faith and allegiance to the same, temporarily out of the country and will return home. It doesn't make sense to me to consider that child ineligible for the Presidency.
"Marco Rubio is not a natural born citizen either due to his parents not being citizens at the time of his birth."
Rubio is the legal equivalent of an "anchor baby" as is Jindal as was the drone-killed al Awlaki who had exactly the type of dual loyalty at birth that the founders feared.
Yet 99& of the elite legal establishment has decided, and all lower courts have resisted any effort to affirm that anything more than being born on US soil is needed to be NBC POTUS eligible.
I hope that Dems or a GOP primary challenger will challenge Rubio or Cruz's NBC eligibility and that SCOTUS will finally rule. Better yet, I hope that new evidence of Barry's likely Kenyan birth comes out. That would prompt a SCOTUS ruling ASAP! I do not presume to know whether SCOTUS would affirm the Minor v. Happersett NBC definition or give Barry a Mulligan based solely on his US citizen mom regardless of where he was born.
John McCain was not born on base. This has been posted endlessly and yet we have misinformed posters declare this fallacy again and again. To what purpose?
It really comes down to the notion that just because they did it, we should too. When that happens the Oath to defend and Protect the Constitution become meaningless. I for one will not travel that oh so popular road, now that we have our own clean and articulate ineligible Presidential Candidate.
God Bless the Republic.
Look harder.
We're not talking about mere citizenship here. This requirement is specified only for the presidency.

Could it be an indication that the spelling is in question (or, alternatively, to indicate that the spelling is correct in spite of what everybody thinks)?

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
New York's City Center is reviving an autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, creator of Rent, tonight as part of a series featuring landmark, off-Broadway productions.
Larson's tick, tick…BOOM! was first performed by its creator as a solo rock monologue 1990; it is the story of an aspiring composer who questions his life choices on the eve of his 30th birthday.
After Larson's death in 1996 at the age of 35, immediately before off-Broadway previews of Rent were scheduled to begin, tick, tick…BOOM! was revised by playwright David Auburn as a three-actor piece. It premiered off-Broadway in June 2001, starring Raul Esparza; Neil Patrick Harris starred in a 2005 London production.
The City Center Encores! Off-Center production, which runs through June 28, stars Lin-Manuel Miranda, composer, lyricist and star of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical In the Heights. Also featured will be Leslie Odom, Jr., who has appeared in Rent, as well as TV series Smash, Person of Interest and Special Victim's Unit, and Karen Olivo, who has appeared in In The Heights and The Good Wife.
In program notes for the new production, Miranda said that, as a college senior, he saw the 2001 off-Broadway production of tick, tick…BOOM! with Esparza three times, feeling he was watching his own life being played out on on stage. "I'm a theater major, which means I have no marketable skills, and I'm terrified because I'm about to go out there and try to make a living at it. And then I see Jonathan's show, which is about everything that I am about to be facing," he said.
Julie Larson, Jonathan Larson's sister, said tick, tick…BOOM! has been performed in schools and local theaters in recent years, but has had no major productions until now.
She said there is a "whole new generation of theater people like Lin who have been influenced by my brother's work. Their sound is more modern, more vibrant. He led a lot of young people to believe that their dreams can come true with a whole lot of hard work and patience."
Although she said tick, tick…BOOM! is, "on the surface about turning 30, it's totally universal about people at any age making a choice about pursuing a dream."
And the fact that the musical features a character who has been diagnosed with AIDS makes it "extremely relevant. It's about community, inclusiveness, tolerance, passion. That's universal, timeless," she added.

Posted By KARLY TAMBARA On Oct 22 2011 @ 1:06 am In Anaheim Ducks | No Comments
So many arguments can be made to support the notion that professional athletes make little, to no, contribution to the betterment of society. Alternatively, however, one could argue that what sports provide society in its time of need or darkness is intangible and we couldn't live without them. Whatever view you might take about athletes and their governing Leagues, you have to admit that the NHL and the NFL as well, are making incredible efforts to push to the forefront, increased awareness of cancer during the month of October. Be it pink shoes, lavender hockey tape on sticks, or a purple "Hockey Fights Cancer" logo on helmets, the professional leagues want it known that they too, want to eradicate cancer.
This year, on their "Hockey Fights Cancer Night," the Ducks are partnering with the Orange County chapter of Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) to help raise awareness for LLS. LLS seeks to cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkins Disease, and Myeloma and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Tonight, in an effort to garner support for this esteemed organization, the Ducks gave out lavender ribbons to fans, will hold a silent in-game auction, and Jason Blake's wife will sell "Wrap and Remember" bracelets with part of the proceeds going to LLS, among other events and activities. Funds for this organization go toward blood cancer research around the world and providing free information and support services to victims and their families.
The Ducks' Jason Blake and Sako Koivu are both cancer survivors and go to show that anyone can be affected. Cancer, in all forms, is the cause of death of hundreds and thousands of Americans every year and affects so many more people than just the person who actually battles it. May you, whomever you may be reading this, never have to lose a loved one to cancer and may the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society be successful in their mission. (Rest in peace Maria Nye and Kim Hubbard).
In less important news, but the reason I'm supposed to be writing this blog, the Ducks defeated the Sharks for the second time in two games on 10/17, beating them 3-2 at the HP Pavilion. Relaxed and refreshed, Dan Ellis, stood strong in the net with 41 blocked shots, and Teemu Selanne scored two goals in the first period after only tallying 1 assist in the first four games this season. Francois Beauchemin is sporting stitches over his left eye after that game, when he successfully blocked a shot with his face.
Tonight against the Stars, the Ducks played one of their worst periods of hockey this season, allowing Loui Eriksson to score 13 seconds after the opening draw, rebounding the puck off Hiller's leg pad and into the back of the net. Mike Ribeiro scored another goal less than 8 minutes later. The Ducks were able to pick up their pace in the second but still suffered from a goal called back due to interference by Corey Perry who redeemed himself off a last second goal (literally) at the end of the second. Despite their attempted come back, Loui Eriksson struck early again in the third to put the Stars up 3-1 for good.
NEXT UP: Ducks are at home one last time on Sunday before a 7 game road trip, playing host to the Phoenix Coyotes at 5:05. The Ducks will welcome Orange County's first Little League World Series champs from Ocean View on Sunday as well.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Efforts to get commuter trains running in New Jersey have suffered a setback and New Jersey Transit won't be able to run as many trains into New York City.
NJ Transit spokesman John Durso Jr. says a backup generator failed overnight at the center in Kearny and couldn't be restarted. Switching equipment was affected.
Service that had been set to restart Friday is suspended on the North Jersey Coast, Raritan and Main lines. Buses will cross-honor rail passes.
But Northeast Corridor service into New York is running.

Fear! Has it ever been a problem for you, holding you back from moving into areas that could enrich your own life and the lives of others? There is a solution.
One of the many benefits available to Christians is freedom from fear. When we avoid making changes or confronting issues in our lives because of fear or dread, we need to remember that God has promised to go before us and bring us through victoriously as we obey Him.
When we're facing a job interview, for example, instead of being afraid that we'll make a bad impression and fail to get the position, we need to ask God to prepare the heart and mind of the interviewer and help us present ourselves in the very best light. When God "prepares the way," we can trust that whatever happens will turn out for our good according to His perfect plan for us.
The Bible tells of a man named Abram who trusted God in spite of his own personal fear. Now...the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father's house, to the land that I will show you (Genesis 12:1).
How would you feel if God told you to leave your home, your family and everything that is familiar and comfortable and head out to an unknown destination? Full of fear? That's precisely the challenge Abram faced—and it frightened him. But God's words to him were, "Fear not." It's the same message He gave to Joshua when He called him to lead the children of Israel to take the land He had promised to give them as their inheritance (see Joshua 1:6-9). And to all who set out to follow God's plan today, He says, "Fear not."
Elisabeth Elliot, whose husband was killed along with four other missionaries in Ecuador, says that her life was completely controlled by fear. Every time she started to step out to minister, fear stopped her. Then a friend told her something that set her free. Her friend said, "Why don't you do it afraid?" Elisabeth listened and took that advice. Together with Rachel Saint, the sister of one of the murdered missionaries, they went on to evangelize the Indian tribes of Ecuador, including the very people who had killed their loved ones.
Many times we think we should wait to do something until we are no longer afraid, but if we did that, we'd probably accomplish very little for God, for others, or even for ourselves. Both Abram and Joshua had to step out in faith and obedience to God and do what He had commanded them to do—even though they were afraid.
I believe the words fear not simply mean don't run. So the solution to fear is simple: Rather than bowing our knee and giving in to it, we must stand firm against it, knowing that God has gone before us and prepared the way.
This is precisely what God wants us to do. Even if our mouth is dry and our knees are shaking, we need to keep asking God to strengthen us. We need to determine that our lives are not going to be ruled by fear but by the Word of God.
As we saw before in Genesis, God gave Abram a tall order. He said, "Pack up and leave everyone you know and everything you're comfortable with and go to a place I will show you." If Abram had bowed his knee to fear, he never would've fulfilled his destiny to become all God created him to be—the father of many nations.
In the same way, if Joshua hadn't overcome his fear and been obedient to God's command to lead His people into the Promised Land, they never would've enjoyed all that God had prepared for them.
Giving in to fear alters God's best plan for your life. So use the power of God's Word to do what He wants you to do...even if you have to do it afraid! The rewards are great.

IF:GATHERING…all my hopes
One week from yesterday I will join thousands of women as a part of IF:Gathering. I will be at IF:Austin with over 1000 women and we will be joined online with thousands from all over the nation and the world at IF:LOCAL. I am so honored to be a part and I have to tell you that I'm also a little apprehensive. I'll be honest as to why. Let's back up for a second…
IF:Gathering…for women, for us, for me.
Well it is here, it is simple, and it is big. The dream that is, the vision. IF:Gathering. It is a GATHERING of women whose common goal and common ground is simply wanting to make a difference in this world for the Kingdom. That's it. That's IF. So in February we will come together in Austin – to laugh, to dialogue, to share wine and break bread, and to pray. It will not be about the line-up or the Christian celebrities on the docket, it's about you and it's about me. It's about how when we choose to come together and to dream then we will realize our impact will be better and our impact will be more WITH each other than it is by ourselves.
About 50 of us gathered for an IF experiment in Austin at the beginning of September and it changed us, it encouraged us, and it influenced us. IF:GATHERING is the result.
First take a few minutes and watch this video message from Jennie Allen to give you a little more insight. https://vimeo.com/75729261
Again there are two options for you ladies in February.
IF: Austin and IF: Local
IF : Local
We don't want to limit this gathering to a venue in Austin. We are throwing open the doors, and inviting you to join us via webcast. Gather with your friends, neighbors or others in your community and join us virtually. You will have the opportunity to register October 15th. Then in the next several weeks and months, we will send you ideas and resources for our time together.
IF : Austin
Austin Music Hall, February 7th-8th
1) For the Austin gathering, we are eliminating the set ticket price, and asking you to partner with us, by giving what you can to the vision of IF. We ask that you join us in praying for God to provide the funds for us to turn the lights on!
2) Registration for IF:Austin and IF:Local opens Tuesday, October 15th at 11:00 AM Central. However, women who are subscribed to our email list will get to register on Monday. Sign up to get early access (Link: http://ifgathering.com/
3) This vision will not happen if we do not have financial partners. If you believe in this vision, then we ask that you pray about giving to support IF : Gathering. (Link: https://purecharity.com/if-
So that's it. IF is for the cynic, the saint, the doubter, the believer, the dreamer, the wanderer, the artist, the thinker, the mom, the wife, the sister, the daughter, the hipster, the reader…. IF is for you – ladies. I hope you will consider joining us. I can't wait to see the results of what we can do together… for our world, for each other, and for our God.
I look forward to sharing a table, a conversation, a prayer, and a glass of wine with some of you in Austin in February.
Best! Melissa
IF…it's time.
If God is real, then what?
I have asked many questions in my 34 years on this earth.
Why is the sky blue? What's actually in a gummy bear? Why does my Memaw smell like peas?
My questions changed as I became a young adult.
Why do I have to be home by 9? What's wrong with drinking? Why can't I marry a black man?
My questions continued to change in college and in fact became very directed at the church or those in the church.
Why do you think you'll lose your salvation? Why do you think I need to speak in tongues? How can we throw around the Bible and it's verses, such as, "I've never seen the righteous forsaken and his children begging for bread" ON THE SOIL OF AFRICA? Would God really create someone to love someone of the same sex and then in the same breath condemn them?
Then as the years have passed, life happened and my questions grew as I grew.
Why does God allow suffering? Does God allow suffering? Is God all powerful, loving and good? Can God be all three equally?
Now these are just a glimpse of my struggles, my thoughts, my doubts, and even my desires throughout the years.
Good news for me and maybe you. EVERYONE has them.
Now we might not share all of the same questions but whether or not we've voiced them aloud, we do each have our own.
Right now it seems that WOMEN are finding their voices more than ever before. Women are choosing to be bold, courageous, and humble enough to own our doubts as much as our deepest convictions. Also I think, for some, we have even realized that our doubts are a healthy part of our faith and our spirituality. We are recognizing the tensions in our world and maybe even moreso within our own minds and hearts.
I wonder if you have found your voice or if you want to find it. I wonder if you would love to be a part of a community of WOMEN willing to own the tension, willing to ask the questions, willing to take part in being an answer?
Then welcome to IF.
This vision started by Jennie Allen and is also strategically driven by Lindsey Nobles is finally coming to fruition. It is coming to life because it has captured the heart of not just myself, Jessica Taylor, Lauren Chandler, Jen Hatmaker, Esther Havens, Tara Jenkins, Rebekah Lyons, Bianca Olthoff, Angie Smith, and Ann Voskamp but its purpose is striking a chord in the souls of countless other women.
These women are not necessarily on the same page with every issue – be it social or theological but we ARE willing and wanting to unite together…despite our differences and more importantly because our differences showcase the diversity and beauty of not only ourselves but of those who make up the body of Christ.
We exist to gather, equip
and unleash the next generation
of women to live out their purpose.
We are gathering and uniting a team of women, who already lead our generation, and unleashing them to lead in their spheres of influence. Together we will create a community and foster an ethos – connecting, encouraging and collaborating together.
We are creating a blueprint for intentional equipping – reaching women with tools that are holistic, strategic and deep. By providing easy online access to a like-minded community and relevant resources, we will release women around the world to live out their purposes. // Online · 2014
A fresh, deep, honest space for a new generation of women to wrestle with the essential question: IF God is real… THEN what? This 2-day conference brings women together and wrestles out how to live out the calling God has placed on our lives. // Austin, TX Feb. 7–8 2014
By partnering with organizations like Food for the Hungry, coming alongside women around the world, fostering relationships and utilizing our God-given gifts, our hope is that this movement will not only transforms hearts but leave a tangible impact on the world.
This is just the beginning ladies. I hope you will join us, join the conversation, find your voice, your purpose and choose to use it for good in our world. We need it. We need you. This world needs WOMEN that will use our minds, our intuition, our feminine wiles, our passion, our integrity, our creativity, our gentleness, our boldness, our lives to bring about the Kingdom. I'm in. Are you?
Cheers! Melissa
With deep sadness…
It is with deep sadness that I share with you the loss of Kelli Kremkau. I have known Kelli's mother-in-law, Gina; her husband, Brian and her brother-in-law, Jason since my childhood. We grew up together at Indian Rocks Baptist Church. I only had the privilege of knowing Kelli personally this year. In February Kelli came and shared 5 sweet days with me at my home while she attended the RECREATE CONFERENCE.
Kelli, 33 years old, was in the midst of her fight with cancer at the time but cancer did not define her. She had a lightness to her, a deep humility, a fight and drive, a welcome curiosity to faith and God, and a reconciliation it seemed even with her cancer. Today she ended her journey here in this life. She left behind her husband, Brian and her daughter, Samantha.
Today we join God in His grieving over this tragic death. We join God in His beaming pride over this amazing life that some of us had the privilege to share a glimpse of. We join God in His hope over the beautiful legacy that Kelli leaves behind in her family and in all who have known this girl.
Kelli, today, I believe for you that
I believe for us that
all SHALL eventually be well.
Rest in peace Beloved.
You can find about more about this wonderful woman here…
and how to connect and donate to her family here.
I believe…once again
It had been a while since I had experienced a thin place, a moment where heaven and earth seemed connected and there was no doubt but to believe.
I was asked last summer to get involved with the ministry of Timothy's Gift (www.timothysgift.com). TG is a ministry to inmates offering relief, hope and redemption through friendship, entertainment, and seminars. I was originally asked to help put together a "U.S.O. style" Christmas program -for a 12 day tour. T.G. wanted to take talented artists in to lift the spirits of the prisons during the most depressing time of the year for inmates, Christmas. The task seemed difficult. You could not sing anything too nostalgic, nothing that reminded them too specifically of going home or loved ones, it needed to bring laughter and funny songs, songs that they would be familiar with and then also remind them or tell them the story of Jesus, the story of LOVE. After recruiting the talent from GracePointe Church (which is FULL of talent I might add) I began the specifics of the program. By the Fall, I had resigned myself to the fact that I needed to go on this tour as well. We turned in our information to Ron Miller (founder and organizer of TG), which then of course had to be background checked and screened. Finally we were all approved and set to leave. 12 days, 19 prisons, 9 people (3 of us rotating in and out).
The day before we left Haven was diagnosed with the flu. She was horribly sick and I fought myself all day about leaving her for 5 days while I went on my part of the tour. After many conversations with Ben, my mom and Ron, I decided I needed to go. We left the next day. During the 7 hour drive to FL, I second guessed myself for most of the trip. Should I have left my family??? After frequent calls to Ben and my mom, Haven seemed to be recovering slowly but doing well. Finally on WED morning we went to the first prison.
I will give you the average scenario of the prison. We pull up to chain link fences and gates with 3 rows of barbed wire lined top and bottom. To say these were highly secure prisons, is an understatement. We would punch in our codes and scan our fingers and then wait for the guards approval to enter which could take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. We'd enter after they had thoroughly checked each one of us individually and all of our equipment. We were given body alarms to attach to our belts, just in case of emergencies. Once inside, we'd head straight to the chapel and were usually greeted and offered help by a select few of approved inmates. We'd set up in about 30 minutes. Finally the 150 or so inmates would enter. Some of them were rugged looking, some weary, some young, some old with need of canes, some clean cut, some laughing… but all dressed in blue.
We would begin with a welcome and a familiar song. Most of them, because they had volunteered to be there, were enthusiastic to sing along, to clap, to laugh. Others had to be won over but it seemed after 30 minutes or so,every time, it worked. The first half of the set was light, playful and even funny. The laughter that filled the room was infectious and healing. They seemed to know that we were there for THEM. There was an attitude of level ground instead of the usual looking down on to them that they are so often used to. Then we introduced our resident Artist, who shared her story of doubt and questioning God and finally the reassurance she found that God will cover her – all of her, including her questions, anger, and doubt. She told them that she would paint an angel that God had placed in her heart and that she would leave the painting with them to remind them that they too are covered. We then moved into sacred Christmas songs.
Finally, I sang the song "love me" (by JJ Heller) over them and it was in this moment that I knew I had made the right decision in coming on the tour. If you don't know the song, you can listen to it fully here http://youtu.be/PgGUKWiw7Wk. The lyrics describe a young boy alone and also a woman who's husband has left her, both desperately searching for someone to love them for them…
I tried my hardest to find each and every one of their eyes as I sang the last verse…
He's waiting to die as he sits all alone. He's a man in a cell, who regrets what he's done.
He utters a cry from the depth of his soul, "Oh Lord, Forgive me. I want to go home."
Then he heard a voice, somewhere deep inside and it said, " I know you've murdered and I know you've lied.
I have watched you suffer for all of your life. Now that you'll listen, I'll tell you that I
Oh I love you for you. Not for what you have done or what you will become. Oh I love you for you. I will show you the love, the love that you never knew."
I quickly tried to tell them that this is exactly why we've come but I was cut off completely by a standing ovation of applause accompanied with weighted tears. They probably had not heard these words since their mistake or if they had, from very few. But this is why we came. We came to tell them and remind them that they are loved. I told them of the idea of the Kingdom of God being like a table and that they are still welcome and have a place waiting at that table. That they are not their mistake and that they have a future they can step into. A better future. We had prepared 2 stations to administer communion. I would invite them to come, because Jesus invited them to come. I asked (as I have learned from my friend, Ian Cron) them to hold out their cupped hands in order to receive the bread we will break. I wanted them to receive instead of take and to be reminded that life, all of life and their life is a gift. Then they would dip that bread into the wine.
They started to come quickly, needy for love, for a gift, some more broken than others, but every last one of them comes on their own and receives. It's the first time, maybe in all of ministry, that I recognize the truly sacred gift it is to share the good news that YOU ARE LOVED to someone who so desperately needs it. It was holy moments, with tears shed, wine spilling, bread broken, life shared.
I remember one man specifically. He was very tall and muscular and reminded me of Michael Clarke Duncan's character in the movie The Green Mile. This man walked into the chapel looking very hard and intimidating. Eventually he cracked a smile and I knew we had him captive when he threw his head back in laughter at one of the songs and then proceeded to clap along. He came to my line of communion. He towered over me and cupped his very large, strong hands… hands that may have raped, or murdered, or stolen… he looked into my eyes as I looked up into his tear stained face, "His body broken for you" I said. I used one hand to place the piece of bread into his hands and cupped the underneath of his hands with my other. As I looked into his eyes I BEHELD innocence trapped deep inside. It was in that moment that I looked and beheld not a 40 year old criminal, but a child. I feel I saw a glimpse of how God sees us, beautiful and broken but with the hope and promise of redemption through LOVE. I will never be the same and I hope I can say the same for that man.
So, now I believe more than ever before. I believe that we are all made in the image of God. That we are all the beloved. That we are all broken to varying degrees. I believe that we all have hope. I believe that the CREATOR is LOVE and that LOVE will never fail. I believe that I am to tell all with my life, my work and my words that poignant truth. You are loved. You are of great worth. You have a place at the table.
My life is changed. My ministry renewed. My focus is steadfast. I believe again.
Here's to an impactful 2013… peace to you, Melissa
All Shall Be Well – new song (live)
This is one of my new songs that I wrote for my church, GracePointe (www.gracepointe.net). I was able to connect and write with Leslie Jordan and David Leonard (All Sons and Daughters www.allsonsanddaughters.com), who quickly became fast friends. They are also worship leaders in Franklin, TN at a church called Journey Ecclesia (www.journeyfranklin.com). I had been so moved by the songs they had been writing that they were the first I asked to be involved on my project. This first song we wrote together quickly led to 2 more that I will also be recording. The lyric for this song is based on a prayer by Julian of Norwich, a benedictine nun (1342-1416). This prayer has been a constant source of comfort for me. I hope it will be for you as well.
Remember friend…. All manner of things shall be well.
Lifeway's Dot Mom Event
So I'm so thankful to be here in Birmingham with Lifeway and 1000+ MOM's of all ages with all age kids. It's really a wonderful thing to know your audience and for them to instantly feel comraderie with you just because you are all mom's. It's privilege to be serving them with music and to gleaning some great wisdom along with them as well. We just heard from Jen Hatmaker. I have to say I love this woman. I spent a few minutes with her after- she's the real deal and I'm happy to claim her as friend so much still to come… I'll be giving Updates!!!
"Until now Melissa Greene has been known for her work with the award-winning vocal group Avalon, but this impressive solo set should change that. The title track is an uptempo, dance-ready anthem with an uplifting message. "Long Road to Forgiveness" is a poignant ballad about the power of grace and redemption. "Too Far" is a rockin' number with crunchy guitars and a cool lyric that lets Greene show her sassy side. The most memorable song is the ballad "To Trust You (Jody's Song)," about trusting God even in the midst of painful struggles. Her immensely moving vocals reveal a singer of considerable depth and emotional integrity. —Deborah Evans Price" billboard.com review

Global mkt weekahead: Stellar Q1 gives way to cautious Q2
After a bumper first quarter fuelled by central bank largesse, investors are looking for potential potholes to derail a stock market rally which has already shown signs of tailing off in recent days.
After a bumper first quarter fuelled by central bank largesse, investors are looking for potential potholes to derail a stock market rally which has already shown signs of tailing off in recent days.
While a holiday-shortened week is not likely to prompt dramatic investment decisions, the consensus for now is that there may be more gains ahead but at nothing like the same pace.
"The upside potential in the equity markets is not exhausted yet; however, we no longer expect above-average returns in the coming months," said Philipp Baertschi, chief strategist at wealth manager Bank Sarasin.
Equities have certainly been going great guns.
The S&P 500 is set for a 12% gain since the start of the year and, despite wobbling over the past week, Japan's Nikkei is still up more than 19%, its strongest first quarter rise in 24 years.
Aside from signs of a burgeoning US recovery, the turn in sentiment was powered by the European Central Bank's creation of more than a trillion euros of three-year money, augmented by more money printing by the Bank of England and hopes that the Federal Reserve would do the same.
A repeat dose is now looking less and less likely, making for a very different investment climate, despite warnings over the past week from Fed chief Ben Bernanke and the Bank of England's Mervyn King that recovery remains highly uncertain.
Reuters' latest asset allocation polls showed global investors cut government debt from portfolios in March, slashing holdings of US bonds to a six-month low as hopes for more Federal Reserve bond-buying faded.
"Government yields, close to generational lows, still look unattractive and we expect Treasury yields to bubble higher over the next few months as the euro zone risk premium is unwound and as the market adjusts to the reality of better economic data," said Nick Gartside, International CIO for Fixed Income at J.P. Morgan Asset Management.
For developed markets, European purchasing managers' indices - which have a strong correlation with GDP - will be a must-watch in the week to come as will equivalent reports from China.
As the PMIs will do in Europe, so Japan's tankan survey of major manufacturers will offer a gauge as to how far the Nikkei's rally could stretch.
The biggest report of the week will be US non-farm payrolls, out on Good Friday when the rest of the financial market world is closed.
The European Central Bank and Bank of England will hold policy meetings before the Easter break. Neither will shift course but debate about the policy turning point is now evident, at least within the former.
Jens Weidmann, who heads the German central bank, is leading a push by a group of ECB policymakers for the bank to prepare for a shift to exit mode, fearing that inflationary pressures will be stoked and banks will become completely addicted to state support.
Investors will also pick over the details of Spain's 2012 budget, which faces implementation risks, and the details of euro zone plans to build a stronger firewall which appear to have settled on a less ambitious option than some members were seeking.
Emerging case?
After strong runs by the major world stock markets there are suggestions that select emerging markets may be the next beneficiaries.
Reuters polls published on Thursday predicted emerging markets will spearhead any further rise of global stocks this year, with Russia and Brazil leading the way.
Gartside highlighted Russia's successful sale of USD 7 billion in Eurobonds in the past week.
"Emerging market debt continues to be one of our top picks as do other spread sectors such as high yield, where both fundamentals and valuations look good," he said.
The coming quarter will certainly throw up further euro zone risks and high oil prices pose a real threat to the world economy.
Aside from the market verdict on the bloc's bailout arsenal, elections in Greece could weaken austerity resolve and the French may elect a socialist President intent on rewriting the bloc's new fiscal rules.
"We think that the current benign phase in the European markets could continue for several more weeks. Nonetheless, we believe that volatility and wider spreads will return to sovereign bond markets in the not too distant future," Justin Knight and Beat Siegenthaler at UBS wrote in a client note.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) said oil consumer nations are set to pay a record USD 2 trillion this year for oil imports if crude prices do not fall. Crude hit USD 128 a barrel this month, only USD 20 short of its 2008 peak, and is up more than 15% since January.
If crude were to stay there for the rest of the year, oil import bills would cost 3.4% of GDP, up from 3.1% in 2011, IEA chief economist Fatih Birol said.
"The crude oil price remains at a high level and uncertainties over Iran do not suggest a quick downward correction. How will a weak recovery be able to bear an energy bill that could remain high for a long time?" Credit Agricole analysts asked in a note to clients.

The Chicago Film Critics Association, a group of over 50 Chicago-area print, online and broadcast critics that has been celebrating and promoting the art of film for over 20 years, is pleased to announce the first annual Chicago Critics Film Festival, a three-day collection of more than 20 features and short films comprised of recent festival favorites and as-yet undistributed works, all receiving their Chicago premieres and covering a wide variety of genres. The festival is set to take place at the Muvico Theaters Rosemont 18 from April 12-14, 2013.

This will be the first time a film-critics group has ever hosted its own film festival. One of the film critic's jobs is to spotlight works that do not have the benefit of big promotions, and that is the idea behind this festival. The CFCA plans to make this the first of an annual series sharing films we genuinely love and exposing a wider audience to features, documentaries and short films that either do not yet have theatrical distribution or could use an extra push.
Oscar-winning director William Friedkin will make an appearance Sunday evening to sign copies of his newly published memoir "The Friedkin Connection" and participate in a Q&A following a screening of one of his classic films. The inaugural festival will kick off with Oscar-nominated actress-filmmaker Sarah Polley ("Away from Her," "Take This Waltz"") on hand to present the local premiere of her latest film, "Stories We Tell". For the closing night spot, the festival is proud to present the Sundance favorite "The Spectacular Now," co-starring Golden Globe nominee Shailene Woodley.
Other films already confirmed for the festival include the coming-of-age comedy "The Kings of Summer" (featuring Chicagoan Nick Offerman from television's "Parks and Recreation"), "I Declare War," a trippy action-comedy in which a children's war game is seen exclusively through the eyes of its participants, the Slamdance award-winner "The Dirties," "The Institute," a documentary about an Alternate Reality Game in which the real and the fictional merge together in unexpected ways, the family saga "I Used To Be Darker," the romantic drama "Leave Me Like You Found Me" (with director Adele Romanski scheduled to attend), the off-beat superhero tale "Sparks" and the inspirational documentary "When I Walk." In addition, two programs of short films are scheduled that will feature selections from around the world, including entries from students at Chicago's Columbia College. Other films and guests will be announced soon.
Tickets for individual screenings will also be available. Daily and weekend passes can be purchased at http://chicagocriticsfilmfestival.com/ starting on March 7. Individual tickets will go on sale March 25. A final press release, featuring a full schedule and ticketing details, will be sent out at that time as well.
MUVICO THEATERS ROSEMONT 18 All festival screenings and events will be held at the Muvico Theaters Rosemont 18. Located in Rosemont. IL off of River Road and 294, the Muvico Theaters Rosemont 18 is Chicago's premiere movie-going experience featuring elegant stadium seating and state of the art Sony 4K digital projection.
All official festival gatherings will be held at Bogart's Bar and Grill, located on the second floor of the Muvico Theaters Rosemont 18. Muvico is also easily accessible by public transportation; just a short walk from the Blue Line River Road exit.
CFCA Case StatementThe CFCA has always been dedicated to supporting and celebrating quality filmmaking that has something to say about our world, our lives, and our society. In the past, while it supported and fought for the continued role of film critics in the media, the CFCA's primary public interaction was through the announcement of its annual film awards each December. In 2012, however, the CFCA moved aggressively to expand its presence on the Chicago arts scene and to promote critical thinking about cinema to a wider base. Last year, in addition to re-launching a late-winter awards ceremony, CFCA members presented numerous film screenings at theaters like the Gene Siskel Film Center, Studio Movie Grill in Wheaton, and Muvico Theaters Rosemont 18 in Rosemont. Illinois. CFCA members also team-taught a new Young People's Film Criticism Workshop at Facets Multimedia that emphasized not just film analysis and criticism, but also writing skills to middle- and high-school students, many of whom were attending the course on lower-income scholarships. With this film festival, we intend to take the next step.
The Future of the CFCAAs the Chicago Film Critics Association looks ahead to the next 20 years, it hopes to be a much larger presence on the Chicago arts landscape and an even more effective force for critical thinking and film appreciation. To do so will mean more efforts at public outreach, education, and enlightenment, and that will require a larger financial investment.
Going forward, the CFCA intends to set ambitious goals, including expanding the public presentation of films, teaching more film-based classes to both youth and adults, and making the 2013 Chicago Critics Film Festival the first in a long, ongoing annual tradition.

The Chicago Film Critics Association is a 501c not-for-profit organization and any donations will be tax deductible. Sponsorship will guarantee placement on the official advertising materials which will get further exposure through any outlet that promotes the event.
Friedkin's own success story has the makings of a classic American film: He was born in Chicago, the son of Russian immigrants, and loved movies from his earliest days. Immediately after high school, he found work in the mailroom of a local television station, and patiently worked his way into the directing booth during the heyday of live TV. An award-winning documentary brought him attention as a talented new filmmaker, as well as an advocate for justice, and it caught the eye of producer David L. Wolper, who brought Friedkin to Los Angeles. There he moved from television (one of the last episodes of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour) to film (The Birthday Party, The Boys in the Band), displaying a versatile stylistic range. Released in 1971, The French Connection won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and two years later, The Exorcist received ten Oscar nominations and catapulted Friedkin's career.
THE FRIEDKIN CONNECTION takes readers on a journey through the numerous chance encounters and unplanned occurrences that led a bored young man from a poor urban neighborhood to unrivaled success in one of the most competitive industries and art forms in the world. With keen wit and intellect, Friedkin proves as gifted a storyteller on the page as he is on the screen, taking readers from the streets of Chicago to the executive suites of Hollywood, from star-studded movie sets to the precision of the editing room. His memoir has the narrative drive of one of his finest films.

'The Wolverine' Finally Gets a Release Date
20th Century Fox has gone back and forth with the follow-up to its X-Men Origins: Wolverine, first with Darren Aronofsky as its director, and now with James Mangold (Knight & Day) behind the camera. With all that sorted out -- and star Hugh Jackman appropriately, well, jacked -- it's time to set a release date for this sucker, which apparently they have. According to Box Office Mojo, The Wolverine will hit theaters on July 26th, 2013, sliding into a late-July spot that's been friendly to comic book characters like Batman and Captain America in the past.
The script, which at one point was rumored to be R-rated, will follow Wolverine to Japan where he's suffering from amnesia and trying to make sense of his world and surroundings -- all while fighting samurais, the Japanese underworld and Silver Samurai. It's loosely based on one of the most popular Wolverine stories ever told, and it seems to be the one the fans want most. Will Fox be able to deliver a PG-13 rated version and still satisfy fan hunger? It's definitely possible, and the success of both X-Men: First Class and Rise of the Planet of the Apes gives us a lot more confidence in a studio known for interfering a little too much when it comes to their geek properties.
What say you? Excited about The Wolverine? Can Fox make up for the mistakes made with X-Men Origins: Wolverine?
Which one of these people is in the movie Jack Reacher: Never Go Back?
Tom Cruise

Alright folks, I have an announcement. I've found the coolest store ever. It's called The Village, and it's part vintage store, part art-collective, with a skate shop, video game store, and bike repair shop inside. The people who own it are very nice, as are the people who work there. There are couches and a coffee vending machine, and the store doubles as a hang out place for people interested in the art/diy/skate scene. I spent a good deal of time chatting people up here, and if I was in Inverness longer I would have stayed longer. This is such a cool idea, and I wish they had one of these where I live.
If you find yourself in Inverness, Scotland, it's on Union street, hidden behind a bus stop. Go say hello to Dave!

Miley's Party in the U.S.A. & More Celeb Twitpics
By Molly McGonigle
Now that summer is in full swing, celebs have been off on great adventures. Thankfully, they have been sharing highlights from their excursions with their Twitter followers. From Fourth of July parties to vacations, take a gander at how people like Miley Cyrus and Fergie are spending their down time.

At this rate, everybody will soon see their favourite developer starting some kicks or kicking some starters. Brian Fargo, creator of Wasteland, the game that launched a thousand Fallouts, has espied the queue of well-regarded figures approaching their adoring audience cap in hand and is now seeking a cap of his own. It'll be a comically large bit of headwear as he wants to cram at least a million dollars into it, which is the estimated cost of funding a Wasteland sequel. The game would be a PC release, with, according to the man's own Twittertalk, a "complete old school vibe and made with input from gamers. Made the gamers way." The gamers way often involves eating Wotsits until dawn but perhaps there are other ways and other gamers?
Eurogamer reckon that the million dollar Kickstarter campaign is set to begin next month and Fargo is certainly keen: "You will find a happy game designer if this method of game financing works out." Judging by the number of veterans now considering the route, aware of audience demand and willingness to trust in a name and pedigree, we could have a lot of happy game designers on our hands. Hopefully that will create lots of happy gamers. I'm going to start moisturising these calloused appendages in anticipation of carting around so many joyous folk.
As for me, I'm hoping a Kickstarter for a sequel to Wolf (and I'm discounting Lion and WolfQuest) is just around the corner.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Los Angeles Clippers' coach Doc Rivers is right. Replay in the NBA needs to go, and it needs to go now.
Well, okay, let's dial that back just a hair - a rule change right in the middle of the playoffs isn't going to happen, obviously. But it should be at the top of the NBA owners' agenda for the 2014-15 season.
Rivers was understandably upset on Tuesday night after the referees handed the Oklahoma City Thunder a 105-104 victory over the Clippers in the pivotal fifth game of their Western Conference semifinal series. With L.A. ahead by two, a pair of bad calls in the final 11 seconds - first awarding the ball to the Thunder on an out-of-bounds play when it was clear the ball had been last touched by Oklahoma City, and then a tick-tack foul called against Clippers' guard Chris Paul on a wild three-point attempt by Russell Westbrook that had no chance of going in - resulted in three free throws by Westbrook to pull out a Thunder win.
Rivers wasn't shy about ripping the out-of-bounds call and calling for an end to replay after the game, even as he took care to acknowledge plenty of late mistakes of his team's own doing that contributed to the loss. The foul called against Paul was mostly forgotten because it wasn't reviewable. The out-of-bounds call was, and that's just the problem. The benefit of the tedious, time-consuming process of replay review is supposed to be a correct call. And it didn't happen. When you've got nothing to show for wasted time, that's bad.
Let's face it, the final two minutes of a close basketball game were already unwatchable. Crunch time is when the beauty and flow of a great game played by great athletes devolves into an endless series of timeouts, strategic fouls and commercial breaks. When a basketball game among players becomes a chess match between coaches. Unless you're specifically a fan of one of the teams, it's enough to make you give up altogether, flip the channel, and catch the final score later on SportsCenter.
Now, replay review adds yet another layer of delay. How many times have you felt geared up to watch a climactic finish only to groan at the sight of a referee strolling to the scorer's table, donning headphones, and staring at a monitor? Flip. And in the case of Tuesday night's game, the rule wasn't even used properly. The replay shows the ball going out off of Oklahoma City's Reggie Jackson, but there was the question of whether he may have been fouled by L.A.'s Matt Barnes (none was called), who seemed to make some incidental contact with Jackson.
According to the rules, only the out-of-bounds question is reviewable, the foul isn't. Yet the refs seemed to consider the foul question in their judgment (as in, yeah, the ball was off Jackson, but it looked like he might have been fouled, and we can't call the foul after the fact, so we'll just give the ball to the Thunder). The officiating crew later said the replay wasn't conclusive, so their only choice was to stick with the original call of Thunder ball, but the replay sure looked conclusive to others, including the announcers.
Rich Sandomir of the New York Times recently had a nice chronology of the torture that is NBA crunch time, highlighted by a recounting of the final minute of a recent Nets-Raptors playoff game that took 18 minutes in real time to conclude.
Because teams tend to hoard most of their allotted timeouts for late-game chess, simply reducing the number of timeouts allowed would do wonders to rescue the game from the tedium. That won't happen, because timeouts mean commercials. But replay is different – the telecast stays with the game to await the call, so there's no revenue benefit to the stoppage (though there might as well be – no car or beer commercial could be as dull as the ref-in-headphones show).
Sure, replay makes sense in theory – the technology is there to help with the call, so use it. But the cost is too high, and the value is limited. First off, replay use is selective; only certain calls are reviewed even though many others are just as important to the game's outcome. And of course, sports are entertainment, and the endless delays over calls are damaging to the product. That goes for the NFL and MLB as well as the NBA. Let's live with the referees' and umpires' judgments, which are usually right, and take off their headphones. On with the game.

ODESSA, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 11/08/12 -- Dr. Robin Rutherford, cosmetic dentist in Midland and Odessa, will be conducting a toy drive out of his practice for the holidays this year. The Art of Dentistry, Dr. Rutherford's practice, will be collecting toys as well as cash donations for the Townsquare Cares Toy Drive. The office will be accepting donations from November 26th to December 14th.
Dr. Rutherford and his staff are excited to continue sharing in the spirit of giving back to the community. He says: "Since we've been collecting toys for so many years, people have developed a habit of bringing their donations to us around this time of year. We really enjoy contributing to these projects that service the local community."
The donated toys will be picked up for distribution to less fortunate children in the Odessa area, and Dr. Rutherford reminds contributors that all toys should be dropped off unwrapped. Cash donations will be used to purchase additional toys before the drive's completion. Dr. Rutherford says that participation in donation programs is a privilege and an honor for his practice, and he adds his entire staff is enthusiastic for this opportunity to help. Although his practice has typically collected a large amount of donations in past years, Dr. Rutherford and the rest of his team at his Odessa cosmetic dentistry practice hope to exceed last year's generous numbers.
According to Dr. Rutherford: "One of the most rewarding aspects of participating in these gift programs has been utilizing the generous cash donations of our patients and taking our own children to help pick out the toys. They have an opportunity to share in the spirit of giving as well. For our own children, the toy drives have been a great learning experience about the value in helping others."
Supporting toy drive programs and providing less fortunate children with gifts during the holidays has become a tradition for The Art of Dentistry, and one that Dr. Rutherford plans on maintaining for years to come.
About Robin Rutherford, DDS
Dr. Robin Rutherford is a graduate of Texas A&M University and received his medical degree at the University of Texas Dental School at San Antonio. He has been voted the "Best Dentist in Odessa" by the Odessa American Readers' Choice poll and named Texas Super Dentist in the December 2011 issue of Texas Monthly Magazine. Dr. Rutherford has continued his dental education with over 400 hours of advanced study in dental implants, porcelain veneers, and other cosmetic procedures in the past four years. He is an active member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the American Orthodontic Society, a Fellow of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, and a Diplomat of the American Dental Implant Association. Dr. Rutherford is available for interview upon request.

I told her that with 10 inches of snow and below 0 today we weren't likely to see any for a while wither - at least in real life!
I'm hoping next week we'll be seeing a few croci and maybe a fall planted pansy or two!
I had to shovel snow away from the foundation of the house last weekend and found daffodils growing under all that snow. They were pathetically yellow instead of green but they were about 3 inches growth.
That's beautiful! You'll have them in your yard, too, before you know it.
That is GORGEOUS, Vicki! A sight for sore eyes~!
What a beautiful photograph. And good timing too. Happy Friday to you, too.
That's a wonderful pansy shot!
