It has been floated around that Spielberg's overbearing producer's hand manifested most strongly in the first week of shooting. It is what would lead crew members to outwardly question who's in the director's seat and newspaper periodicals to run with the story. Let's then take a look at what was shot in this initial time period when apparently Spielberg did not quite understand the limits of the producer role and so made quite a show to everyone around him. Hooper was only ever so withdrawing to the idea of acknowledging the slightest feeling of being the least bit overshadowed by Spielberg. Though, at the time, he may have probably been more motivated by the saving of some professional face in his denial of hurt feelings (quoting him, he didn't become aware of the whole "Who's directing?" gossip until "after he had shot the thing" and "put it together"), while, in his later years, he probably was more willing to address on-set tumult, but also willing to overlook it for the overall success of their "unique creative relationship," in which he had never, in any statement, conceded the idea of his personal directorial control.
But let us get to that first week of shooting, which consisted entirely of on-location shooting in Simi Valley, and was not just restricted to domestic or neighborhood-establishing scenes, but also required some extensive landscape shooting (for establishing shots) and some major FX work, such as rigging launching caskets in the house exterior and shooting the light show/car stunts/fiery blow-back/exploding and erupting hydrants of the finale. I for one recognize a lot of Spielberg in that over-the-top finale, and I am inclined to believe Hooper was more than grateful to have Spielberg's assistance setting up the wild choreography and the managing of many moving and dangerous parts of this sequence. But it remains just that: assistance.
So we can begin:
Day One: The major scene is Steven and Teague's conversation on top of the hill. Two establishing shots of the tract housing and one transition shot of an ice cream truck turning onto the Freeling's street were also shot before and after the major Steven/Teague scene.
Day Two: This was the day of the L.A. Times visit. The scenes shot were: Robbie climbing the tree; Shaw delivering the beer to the Freeling house (so also the RC car prank); Robbie in the tree and Robbie POV; the canary funeral; Diane's POV of Steven driving away with Teague (not existing in the final cut). We can be sure of the division of duties here: Hooper was shooting in the backyard with the primary cast while Spielberg was shooting 2nd Unit out front with actor Dirk Blocker and the RC cars. That is how all accounts, from Hooper's to the L.A. Times's, have represented the events.
Day Three: The third day largely involved on-location shooting inside the house. This would be: 1) The bulldozer behind Steven making a phone call at the kitchen bay windows; 2) Anything with the construction workers (e.g. hitting on Dana, Diane observing through the window, Pugsley helping himself to coffee); 3) A transition shot of Steven driving onto their street (for the ominous storm clouds to be matted in); and 4) In front of the house, Steven being whisked by Diane into the house even as he grips a garbage can. We are mapping out the first week of filming because it was said that Spielberg overextended his hand in these early days, leading to the rumors. But none of these scenes in these first three days, save for the hilltop scene, speak much to Spielberg's invasive style. In fact, they exhibit the opposite. Yes, Spielberg wrote the screenplay and mapped out many shots such as looking over Steven's shoulder to the bulldozer, the close-ups of the worker's boots and the dozer exhuming the canary coffin, the transitional shot of Steven driving with the storm clouds brewing overhead - but what I see most clearly is Hooper influencing the scenes, even as perhaps Spielberg was there to insist we get this shot, shoot this insert, move on to this set-up. Spielberg may have been loudly exclaiming the plans, but Hooper was there to insist things be shot in one way and not another, to block actors, to harmonize any Spielberg blueprint with the reality of what was there on the set, in front of the camera. Hooper's touch is felt and seen throughout these little moments at the bay windows, and it is in the details of camera and blocking. For every exclamation that showed Spielberg to be micro-managing, there was a quieter and more mild-mannered direction spoken to the actors or cinematographer from Hooper, essentially micro-micro-managing. Then there's the fact that Hooper's long-time acquaintance and collaborator Lou Perryman was there, playing the role of Pugsley, and, naturally, he claims he only saw Hooper ever directing anything when he was around (Texans are notoriously loyal).
Now there's the more boilerplate shots that do not require a huge amount of thought to determine, such as Steven driving into the driveway, only for Diane to run out and rush him into the house.
Day Four: 1) Robbie and E-Buzz getting into the taxi cab
2) Steven and Teague in the front of the house, culminating in Teague's line "Want to go for a ride?"
3) Portions of Steven and Tuthill's remote control battle
4) Landscape shot for showing twister moving away from the house and dissipating (Not in film?)
5) The Freelings asking the Tuthill father and son about strange occurrences.
(See annotated addendum for Day Four near the bottom of this post for further thoughts about the scenes shot this day. None of these scenes speak too decisively of either Hooper or Spielberg for getting into in the main body of this post. Imagining Spielberg being overbearing in these rather small, simple scenes and shots is not too flattering an image of him, albeit I can see him taking over the remote control battle scene.)
Day Five: 1) Tuthill looking from his house to the Freelings house and seeing strange lights in the children's bedroom window (not present in the existing film)
2) Dana driving up to house with boyfriends during the climax, seeing the house glowing and flashing
3) Steven and Teague driving up during the climax, coffin blooms out of front step separating Steven from Diane and the kids (In the initial script, Steven, Teague, and Dana were supposed to arrive simultaneously)
4) Reaction shots from neighbors as coffins bloom from Freeling yard (Jeff Shaw, Dirk Blocker's character, is listed in the shooting schedule, suggesting he was to play a large part as one of the Freelings' gaping neighbors)
The differences between script and screen are readily apparent here. Whether it is Hooper or Spielberg's modifications is anyone's guess, but both Spielberg and Hooper must have been present mapping out the chaos that is ensuing in these shots. Did you know that once the Freelings drive away from the house, there is supposed to be an extended sequence of the Freeling car being harangued by numerous obstacles, such as a corpse popping out of the middle of the cracking road, and that the vision of the house imploding was supposed to be seen from Steven's POV further down the street? Whose decision it was to streamline the sequence and remove this identification with Steven is, again, only up for speculation, but anonymizing characters rather than insisting on an abundance of POV and audience identification techniques is much more aligned with Hooper than it is to Spielberg. Spielberg surely was present to make sure the intensive corpse-launching stunts were up to snuff, but the overall direction this scene eventually took points to Hooper's influence. There is some hints of Spielberg's sense of staging being utilized to map out Teague and Steven's spatial relationship, such as when they converge so that Steven could scream at Teague about the headstones, and a BTS photo exists of Spielberg directing Craig T. Nelson as he holds James Karen by the lapels, but one can interpret this as Spielberg merely assisting on a chaotic and heavy-loaded day on the set while Hooper was off actually determining how the scene was to play out. Perhaps Spielberg was merely making a suggestion about Nelson and Karen's tete-a-tete while Hooper was just outside the frame of the photo, having just determined all the factors that go against Spielberg's initial vision of the scene. The differences are that consequential to the ultimate tone of the scene. The framing of each shot is that Hooperian, while the only Spielbergian tic slipping in is Karen axially sliding into the frame just as Nelson spots him and grabs him. But Nelson and Karen were never supposed to even touch each other, according to the shooting script. Regardless of who determined these alterations, the Hooper-style framing gives it a particularly matter-of-fact intensity that Spielberg would probably dilute with grandiose orchestrations (especially if Dana was to be present earlier in the scene).
Anyway, the point of this post is that this sequence was shot in the first week, the supposed week when Spielberg was more hands on than Hooper probably might have wanted. Thus the sneaking in of the Spielbergian tic every now and then. But it makes sense, as the integral nature of mechanical and pyrotechnical stunts in a practical location would make the experienced heavyweight producer's presence required with the admitted FX neophyte Hooper as the director. Thus, more misconceptions could be made, Spielberg's intense focus on the pulling off of the sequence's expensive effects making it seem like a set that was his rather than Hooper's. But the conversation between the two filmmakers was surely happening, evidenced in the streamlining and making more intimately intense the construction of the scene - a Hooperian trait. Whatever point Spielberg may have approached an actor and commandeered the set-up of one of the scene's exploding rigs, the sequence construction itself shows Hooper's uniquely simple yet vivid style determining the direction the scene ultimately takes, further evinced by the stark differences from the script and the tone of the script.
A weekend break is taken before they returned on Monday to shoot more of the chaotic destruction of the suburban neighborhood.
Day Six: Just take a look at the description of this day's scenes as planned in the shooting schedule:
Look at the number of "ATMOS" extras: neighborhood kids, the Tuthills, Shaw included. This spectacle is deliberately denuded in the final film, as if a greater vision was put into play rather than the spectacle of animated extras that is such a Spielberg trope. Sure, this week and a half of filming may have displayed more a pattern of Spielberg jumping in to impose his creative ideas, but other than those shows of invested creative interest, Hooper must have been just as involved, no matter how heavy-handedly the PR team decided to release only BTS photos of Spielberg. It's quite a crock.
Why is there no Tuthill in the climax? Why is there no overturning of the Tuthill VW? Why is there no Teague being blocked by caskets? Why is there none of the quirky featuring of side characters that Spielberg was so sure of when he drafted the shooting schedule? Why is Hooper so inclined to remove sense and narrative involvement and simply focus on the intensity of emotion and the viscera of aesthetics? What is happening here is the denial of the spectacle and humongous orchestration Spielberg so excels at in the climaxes of Close Encounters and 1941, and rather focusing on the concise excavating of the idea of escape: that is, the Freelings' escape, and Teague's comeuppance, not by random corpses, but by the reckoning of his imploding property. There need not be any Tuthill slapstick, for the suggestion is already there, the underlining not needed, the relegating them to a punchline deemed unworthy as the suburban excoriation need no straw men, in Hooper's vision of things.
I am aware we have passed the first week, but we are working up to a particular point in the shooting in which things may have come to a head. So it may have been the first week to week and a half that Spielberg was over-flexing his producer-capacity role.
Day Seven/Eight: More effects and stunt shots for the climax: 1) Diane and the kids racing through rocketing corpses in the side yard; 2) The family (entire family in script, sans Dana in film) rushes into their station wagon and they drive off; 3) Two ILM shots, "Steven's POV of beginning 'implosion'" and a shot holding on the house as Freelings drive off, "hold for consuming implosion."
If Spielberg was throwing around his weight disproportionately in these first days of shooting, it could be because these are effects-heavy shots that were to be shot in a mostly programmatic way, and Hooper did not mind letting Spielberg take charge, so long as he got the basic shots they/he wanted/planned for. This is to discount the fact the entire idea of the implosion seen from Steven's POV is scrapped entirely, that the two ILM shots (item 3 above) are rethought to concern only Karen's Teague, and Karen is a loyal backer of Hooper in terms of who directed him. There is also the family's piling into the station wagon, reshuffled so as not to include Dana, and Steven's bit trying with difficulty to find his keys in his pants pockets, paired with an uncannily wry and psychologically unprovoked dolly-in of the camera, not in script, pointing to Hooper's influence as a filmmaker of intensity and inexplicable uncanniness.
Day Nine: And so concludes the location Simi Valley shooting, and Day 9 ushers in the first day of sound stage shooting. The scenes shot this day were all the Lesh/UC Irvine scenes, meaning Steven meeting with Lesh, Ryan, and Marty in their office and the famous deleted scene (that was shot, visual evidence confirms) of Lesh talking with a colleague, Anthony Farrow. I believe these two very simple sound stage scenes would have lightened the stranglehold Spielberg may have had on production in that first, logistics-heavy week at the practical location. I can only imagine Hooper being given free rein on these relatively simple scenes, and the first scene - that which actually exists in the film - certainly feels like Hooper, even with the idea of a "reveal" on Steven's dissipated face originating from the screenplay. Hooper must have decided the slow track-in shot (and not the pan from the ceiling fluorescents over equipment and shelves that is in the screenplay) and the booming shot that descends onto Steven's face.
As for the deleted scene, it is a very Spielberg scene on paper: think of the Indy and Denholm scenes that begin every Indiana Jones film, two chummy academics being fond and wistful in a lecture hall while establishing the rules of the imminent adventure. One wonders how Hooper would have augmented such a Spielbergian scene. Well, for starters, he and Spielberg would decide to rethink the scene so as to take place in Lesh's office again (the same location as the Steven scene) instead of a just-letting out lecture hall (so exactly like an Indiana Jones scene), as the one existing photo of the scene proves (it shows Lesh and actor Edward Ashley sitting at the same table Steven and Lesh and co. sit at in the earlier scene).
So with the evolution of the production from large effects scenes to small, intimate scenes, I can only imagine Hooper would begin to show fruitfulness in his position while Spielberg would naturally have to take a back seat. Let us continue on for one more day, though.
Day Ten: Shot on this day was Teague's remaining scenes, meaning a wrap for James Karen, and the "ghostbusters" (Lesh, Marty, Ryan) sitting at the dining room table with the Freelings just after they are shown the possessed children's bedroom (Lesh shakes as she drinks tea, explains the nature of "hauntings," as small supernatural phenomena happen around them). The remaining Teague shot for this day is essentially just one: Steven and Teague in the foyer area of the Freeling home, a small piano moving by itself prompting Steven to usher Teague out to the porch where a porch light turns on to a brilliant intensity. The scene was supposed to take place entirely at the front porch, with Teague eyeing past Steven into the house. The scene is markedly more elegant as it exists now, and it certainly feels like Hooper, with James Karen's presence being further support for Hooper's directorial primacy as he has vouched for Hooper.
This was the day, though, that apparently Spielberg was being too invasive a presence, according to actor Martin Casella, during the scene at the dining room table. The following is an apocryphal story, but one that was seemingly confirmed by Casella on record: during this scene, which is shockingly detailed on page (with character beats, the ghostly magic tricks, and the angles on characters pretty much taken verbatim from the script), Casella recalls that Hooper and Spielberg were there, both giving directions to actors. One can imagine Spielberg taking an extra interest in the cool ghostly happenings that pop up during the scene, such as a moving tea kettle and flashing bulbs. One can imagine Spielberg being quite particular about the scene, seeing as he wrote it with such detail (noting angles on Lesh, the potent reveal of a surprisingly fresh-looking, post-trauma Diane). But the story goes, Hooper would "whisper" one thing in their (the actors') ears, then Spielberg would yell "Cut" and whisper something else in their ears, and perhaps that would go on back and forth. It got to such a point that Beatrice Straight grew tiresome and demanded "Enough," reported having said, "One director only, please." Casella finishes his story with the finality: "And that was Hooper. He did everything after that."
And so with that eventful turning point, one can perhaps place a final marker to Spielberg's oblivious overreach during the initial week or so that may have led to the whispering and rumors that whipped up the news reporters and probably the crew itself. A strong show of power from one and the deference from the other, in first impression, will go a long way in alienating a crew from its director, establishing preconceived notions and biases that could persist even when things show themselves not to be exactly that way. Considering Spielberg never made himself scarce, putting it upon himself to be present for such an intense and detailed production, would make it even harder to see the trees from the forest, to see that Hooper was there putting his all into it, even as Spielberg perhaps lorded over certain facets.
And so, that is the first week and a half to two weeks of production, up to the point at which the idea of Spielberg's overreach may have finally come to a head, resulting in his backing off a bit. This first week was filled with FX shots, heavily planned shots, shots predetermined by the script, etc., but not negligible are divergences and tonal and aesthetic surprises that point singularly to Hooper and his influential presence. Spielberg may have made a show of it, but Hooper was undoubtedly there to do the job he came there to do.
I'll just end with expanded or more detailed thoughts about these first ten or so days of the production, these days when Hooper was just beginning to get his sea legs on a major set and when the Spielberg-Hooper dynamic must have been most unpredictable and capricious:
Extended Notes
Day 1 (Steven/Teague on Hill)
There are a number of things that point to Spielberg in this scene, and a number of things that point to Hooper. As they were both just freshly establishing their bearing on the set, a give and take must have been palpable, with Hooper's proclivity being to give while Spielberg's to take. One cannot deny the similarity of this scene to Brody and [Matt] Hooper's walk with Murray Hamilton to the defaced billboard in Jaws, from the low-angle camera placement peering up at receding and foregrounding figures to the general pop tonality of the scene, which can be attributed to Spielberg's very drafting of the scenario. But while Spielberg's dramaturgical weight might be felt, we cannot overlook the power of Hooper to modify the scene down to its details, to adjust it according to his liking. While Spielberg was wont to jump onto the camera rig and take a look at a shot, especially on this first day of shooting in which parameters were yet to be set, Hooper was indeed on the set as well, and we cannot deny the fact of the scene's divergences from the script as written, which are not negligible in the least. While Spielberg may have suggested to shoot it from a low-angle, with Steven popping in the foreground while Teague beckons him like a devil on his shoulder in the background, Hooper probably decided the scene's most evocative element (not as scripted): the gradual and casual revealing of the cemetery, culminating in a push-in past a totemic stone cross; while in the script, a simplistic 180º pan to the cemetery is suggested for a shock reveal.
The point being for this post is that, if a power dynamic was yet to be established for the crew, any number of misunderstandings could have resulted from a producer who was not shy to make known his capacity and inclination for the filmmaking shooting process. If Spielberg was suggesting things left and right, and perhaps making a decision or two, Hooper likely also showed all the signs of a director trying to not leave without making his mark, as well. This also neglects to mention James Karen in the part of the venal representative of power, Karen being, again, a marked advocate of Hooper as dominant directorial figure on the set.
Day 2 (Spielberg - Shaw with beer; RC cars; Hooper - Robbie in tree; canary funeral)
This can serve as a primary example for how misperception or bias can occur: Spielberg was out there flexing some sort of muscle in whatever capacity - producer, technical manager, 2nd Unit director - while Hooper minded his own business, shooting scenes without Spielberg's excesses. In this sense, and, by all respects, the true sense, Spielberg was the journeyman while Hooper was the overriding artistic voice on the set. Spielberg can only do so much and go so far without Hooper nixing a cartoonish dolly motion, goofy whip-pan, or overthought comic book image.
Day 4 (Robbie being sent away in taxi; Steven and Teague in front of house, "Wanna go for a ride?"; Remote control battle; Freelings talk to Tuthills)
One can imagine lots of moving parts on set, especially when shooting on-location. This was a day for many small scenes, and its hard to determine how Spielberg and Hooper managed the division of duties on a day like this, especially when these small scenes point to neither filmmakers' stylistic characteristics explicitly. We can only assume Spielberg was on set, probably being more intrusive than he realized. Any differences from the script, though, automatically make me want to imagine Hooper taking full control, and there are a number of subtle - yet totally redirecting - differences (Robbie's exit in the cab was supposed to be from the parents' POV, part of a larger, excised passage where they fuss over Robbie as he makes his way to the front door with his baggage; Steven and Teague's conversation was supposed to happen mostly on the front doorstep - the lines of movement in this short scene speak heavily of Hooper).
Yes, an entire side plot developing Robbie's character as a precocious young boy who is both scared and willful is mostly done away with. Whether this scene of extended Robbie development was filmed at all - it was to be filmed at a later point on the sound stage, the shot for this fourth day being only the on-location exterior of Robbie and the dog getting into the taxi - is a hanging question, though this scene consists of a number of differences from the scripted version that point to a culling of its more comedic and cloying aspects, to be replaced by more dramatic, less jokey, elements (such as Lesh and Diane's tearful comforting session in the kitchen, aka the "Marty won't be coming back" scene). It was to begin with Steven sweeping up debris in the kitchen, leftover from the previous night's supernatural "wind storm." There is no hint of this in the existing film. This makes me think Hooper decided to forgo things in advance, thus his almost completely opposite characterization of Robbie.

Navajo Code Talker, museum backer Keith Little dies
Flagstaff, Ariz. -- Keith Little envisioned a place that would house the stories of the Navajo Code Talkers and where people could learn more about the famed World War II group who used their native language as a weapon.
His family now hopes to carry out his dream of a museum in Arizona that also will hold wartime memorabilia and serve as a haven for veterans. Mr. Little, one of the most recognizable of the remaining Code Talkers, died of melanoma Tuesday night at a Fort Defiance hospital, said his wife, Nellie. He was 87.
Mr. Little was 17 when he joined the U.S. Marine Corps, becoming one of hundreds of Navajos trained as Code Talkers. They used a code developed by 29 tribal members that was based on the then-unwritten Navajo language. Their code helped confound the Japanese and win the war.
"My motivation was to fight the enemy with a gun or whatever," Mr. Little told the Associated Press in a July 2009 interview. "When I went into the Marine Corps ... I knew nothing about the Navajo code. It was really astonishing to me to get to Camp Pendleton and there were a bunch of Navajos there, and they were working with a Navajo code."
Mr. Little, the longtime president of the Navajo Code Talkers Association until his death, traveled the country seeking funding for the museum that is expected to cost up to $30 million. He preached about the preservation of Navajo traditions, culture and the language that the federal government tried to eradicate before he and others were called on to use it during the war.
It was a story he never tired of telling, association secretary Yvonne Murphy said.
"That was his life. That was the drive behind him," Murphy said Wednesday. "It didn't matter where he was. If there were people who came and wanted to sit and talk with him, he would share with them."
Nellie Little said her husband hoped the museum would be open by 2014 at its proposed location just outside the Navajo Nation capital of Window Rock. But she said more money is needed.
She is asking people to send museum donations rather than flowers for his memorial.
Mr. Little's health had been deteriorating over the past year, as he went in and out of hospitals between speaking engagements and appearances in parades - the last time in New York in November for Veterans Day, the association said.
A video on the association's website features him speaking about the importance of the unbreakable code. Fellow platoon members referred to the Navajos as "walking secret codes," with each message having to be memorized and destroyed after it was sent or received, Mr. Little says.
"That is something that in itself was marvelous," he said in the AP interview. "It was so proficient and safe."
A public memorial is planned for Friday in Window Rock, with funeral services scheduled Saturday in nearby Fort Defiance. Navajo President Ben Shelly has ordered flags lowered across the reservation from today through Sunday in Mr. Little's honor.

Christian Louboutin Small Spotted Calf Hair Paloma Tote
I have seen some unusual handbags. Very unusual. But... wow... this one really takes the cake! What is even more shocking is that this piece is from Christian Louboutin. I did not see that coming! But hey, sometimes designers like to think a little outside the box. I guess that is what happened with the Christian Louboutin Small Spotted Calf Hair Paloma Tote!
The fact that this is a Paloma Tote is not what makes this piece unusual. I am familiar with the Paloma Tote and that isn't the problem here. The problem is the hodgepodge featured on this particular rendition. It seems almost cartoon-ish... like Fred Flintstone cartoon-ish. We have a spotted calf hair front, a navy blue back, and a patent black side gusset with spike studs. And no Christian Louboutin bag would be complete without its red lining! Each part is fine by itself, but put them all together on the same bag and your head starts to spin. The more I look at this bag though, the more I find myself admiring the designer's bravery.

Re: Christian Louboutin Small Spotted Calf Hair Paloma Tote
When I first saw this bag online, I thought this was two different bags! I really like the animal print side, but the other side is a bit wild for me and not really isn't my style.

I have recently finished my training with GGbrows and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Georgie had everything covered prior to the 3 training days so that by the time it came to being hands on with the machine and hand piece I felt confident and excited. The 3 days training were intense but enjoyable and comfortable, Georgie made me feel so at ease and because of the amazing manual she provides I felt I had all the knowledge I needed. Since the training Georgie has been so supportive and helpful, she motivates and encourages me to be the best I can be.

Literally in LOVE with my GG brows! Georgie puts huge amounts of effort into the planning of her designs and colour matches, which ensures that the final results are always perfect! I will definitely be back for another set in a few years time.
LOVE my brows. Georgie is so good I travel over an hour to go to her, Well worth the journey
My experience with Ggbrows was faultless from the first procedure to the last. I was and still am really pleased with my results.
I will absolutely be returning when the time comes for a top up. I would highly recommend Ggbrows for anyone wanting brilliant results and informative aftercare tailored to you.
I had my eyebrows done with Georgie around 3 weeks ago and they are amazing! I don't know how I lived without them! They are the prefect shape and colour! Can't recommend Georgie enough, she's lovely, friendly and incredibly talented at what she creates. I cant thank her enough!
I am in love with my eyebrows! Georgie did an amazing job at correcting my brows, after having them done elsewhere. She was very understanding, as I was very nervous to have work done on them again after a not so great experience previously! Now, they save me so much time in the mornings, and they look so natural. I couldn't be happier with them. I am obsessed with eyebrows and Georgie was very patient with me. She's professional, friendly and brilliant at brows. Thank you
I didn't even have to think twice about Georgie doing my brows, she is so talented I completely trusted her with what for me is a pretty bold move! Permanent makeup isn't something I'd considered before, but once I got talking to Georgie and saw her work I was sure it was something I'd really love. I wasn't disappointed- the process was really professional and she explained what she was doing along the way which was really reassuring- Georgie has given my brows a wonderful shape and lovely colour which frame my face and I feel fab! Thank you xx
Georgie is just amazing at what she does. So much time and effort went into my brows! She was so lovely and chatty so it made me feel at ease although I was worried! The procedure wasn't as painful as I thought as she was extra generous with the anaesthetic. Amazing experience all in all, I'd recommend anyone. If you are unsure about anything, just do it you won't regret it. Invest in your brows and let Georgie do them!Can't wait to come back for my top up thanks so much Georgie you are fab!xxx
After doing much research I had finally found someone's work that I really loved the look of!! I just want to say a massive thank you to Georgie 4 my amazing brows I absolutely love them!! I loved the way u were so professional and passionate about your work it made me feel so comfortable. I definitely recommend you to the world!! Thank u so much
I had my eyebrows done Saturday and I'm literally obsessed with them! From the moment I walked in the door Georgie made me feel so comfortable and relaxed as I was a bit nervous! From start to finish she spoke to me throughout checking I was okay and after a long time of debating whether to go for it or not I am so glad I did as it's completely changed my face, I can actually wear no makeup now and feel like I'm done up. I can't wait to see them fully healed and I can't thank Georgie enough.. definitely the best out there for sure she really is amazing! xx
I was hesitant about having my eyebrows tattooed but my experience with Georgie has been faultless from the first appointment to the last. I used to spend 20+ mins filling in my uneven brows every morning … Now I wake up to perfect Full, Fluffy and Fierce brows
I highly recommend GGBROWS, Georgie talks you through every step so you feel at total ease with the procedure, she is very professional, hygienic, friendly and incredibly talented. It felt like I was sitting with a friend all of which makes the whole experience more enjoyable! Georgie really takes her time to perfect the perfect Brow. I get so many compliments on them.
I can't thank Georgie enough for boosting my confidence with my new fierce brows…. Would never go anywhere else xxx

Friday Fan Question
What is the ugliest Plaidy cover you own or have seen elsewhere?
Without a doubt the ugliest one I have is the Omnibus of St. Thomas's Eve, Royal Road to Fotheringay, The Goldsmith's Wife and Perdita's Prince. It has a photo of a couple, with 1980's hairstyles, clasping hands under a castle window or door, the walls of which are crumbling (so it can't have been the time period they are supposed to be from). The other colors on the book are an ugly beige and red/blue/white band across the middle. The text is black and goes over the photograph so that you cannot see parts of it that are in the dark areas of the photo. I'm honestly thinking about chucking the cover because underneath is a nice red (imitation) leather with gold text. I'll be reading The Goldsmith's Wife from this volume soon!

I googled and found this:ReplyDelete
I also found this http://www.jbutler.org.uk/e2e/sccp/w14/index.shtmlReplyDelete
And wonder if Plaidy Lane is named for our fave author?
That is an ugly cover Marie. I think it has mine beat. You know Plaidy Lane... that's an interesting thought, but it could also be that she chose her pen name from seeing the name of that Lane... or just a coincidence. I wonder if we'll ever find out.ReplyDelete

At first I thought it must be a tribute to the soon to be former US President. But it's not lingerie in honour of Barak. Last year, according to an article on the BBC News this morning (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38594037), "...OMsignal launched OMbra, a smart sports bra that tracks heart rate, breathing and distance between steps, and shares this data with a smartphone app."
It's the latest in fitness trackers. The best known being Fitbit, the watch without a face that you can conveniently see. It's only the most basic end of the market. As the article points out. "For example, Fit3D uses scanners to assess the whole body to calculate body fat percentage, assess posture and give body shape scoring." I think that if it gave an loud and audible score that could really help. Hearing "Get away from that cake. You fat lump!" when I walk past the King's Centre cafe might make a difference.
The problem is that Fitness trackers don't actually appear to help. In a study by the University of Pittsburg those not given fitness trackers lost over 50% more weight than those who had them. One professor summed up the problem very simply.
"We can't expect just to buy one and that's it - some of the responsibility sits with us too. We still have to get off that sofa and complete those 10,000 steps a day."
An OMbra wouldn't restore my pecs to taught sinewy muscle all on its own. There have been a variety of things over the years that claimed to tone you up whilst you lay there watching the telly and eating a doughnut. But we've always known that pulsing energy through you or causing your flab to wobble disconcertingly didn't really make any difference.
All the fitness tracker does it tell you what you're doing. In fact the study suggested that if you kept failing to make your fitness targets, then knowing in great detail your continued lack of health would merely make you want to give up. You'd lose motivation.
I think that a lot of people have the same problem with Christianity. They either think that it's got nothing to do with them or it's got everything to do with them.
There are some people who think that being a Christian is like being set a fitness exam. God tells us that we're morally flabby, spiritually in need of some exercise. He gives us the exercise manual and then we have to get on with it and sort ourselves out. With this version of Christianity you either spend your life feeling perpetually guilty, constantly trying and failing to make the mark. Or you give up and simply change God's standards. You water down what it means to be the person God wants you to be. Historically, Roman Catholicism has led to people being trapped in guilt and Christian Liberalism has abandoned biblical morality.
The truth is that God doesn't just say that you need to improve your fitness. He says that you are dead without him. What you and I need is saving. And that is entirely his work through Jesus. The Bible calls that grace:
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Being spiritually fit has nothing to do with my effort. It is entirely God's work. Motivated by His love. Empowered by His Spirit.
But knowing this can lead to another mistake about the Christian life. That it will feel easy. That all you have to do is put on Jesus and the problems will fall away. Like lying on the sofa hooked up to some ludicrous stomach toning device, following Jesus won't be hard work.
Quite the opposite is true. Following Jesus involves getting off the sofa and seeking to serve him with all your life. As Jesus himself said, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." (Mark 8:34) To take up your cross, is to be willing to go to your death for Christ!
You may ask, "Well how do those two things fit together? It's all God's work and I have to give up everything and work very hard?"
This is the vital difference between the gospel of Jesus Christ and my fitness drive (or lack to it!). It's the question of motivation.
If I'm going to lose weight then I have to be motivated. As the article on the BBC concludes: "Now we just need an injection of willpower."
And that is exactly what God does in His people. He says, "And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws." (Ezekiel 36:27)
As you come to Jesus, God doesn't just forgive all your sin, past, present and future. He sends His Spirit into your heart so that your desires change. You now long spiritually fit. You want to walk in the good works that he has prepared for you to do. Good works that He empowers you to do.
Now where did I put my trainers....

Arrgg cried the photographer, you dirty bitch. At that moment he heard howls of laughter coming from a "lady" obviously the the bull mastiff bitches owner.
You should keep her on a lead cried the photographer.
**** OFF said the owner of the bull mastiff bitch as she gave him a strange two fingered sign in passing.
Oh dear, thought the photographer, shes no lady, she must be a Wicked Witch and she has cast a spell on me with that strange two fingered sign, what ever will the future hold.
Well, the photographer tried to clean himself up as best as he could as the Witch and the Bitch went on their way.
Now, it came to pass a short time later, that a great commotion ensued on the other side of the pond, with ducks and geese and swans scattering about all over the place. At first the photographer couldn't see what was going on as the mist of water with all the splashing obscured his view. Then, when it quietened down a little what should be stood there in the water, you've guessed it, it was none other than the bull mastiff bitch.
All the little ducklings and goslings and cygnets were paddling as fast as their little feet could muster in order to escape to a safer part of the pond. Then the the witch appeared, well she laughed and laughed until she could laugh no more, this is so much fun she thought. Go get em she yelled, and the bull mastiff bitch obeyed, jumping and pouncing at anything that swam on the water.
Mummy and daddy swan lead their brood out to deeper water, and after making sure all his cygnets were safe, daddy swan set off to confront the bull mastiff bitch, as she was still bouncing about in the water terrifying all before her.
The swan twisted and turned in front of the bitch, this dance mesmerized the her and almost trance like she followed daddy swan . Daddy swan lead the bitch away from his brood at the same time going into ever into deeper water.
The bull mastiff bitch was now out of her depth and clearly struggling to stay afloat. The witch noticed this and called for her to come back, and no matter what commands she screamed to her charge it was ignored, her laughter had turned to hysteria, help me, help me, she cried, to anyone who would listen, but none did.
Daddy swan was now in completed control, after all this is a his territory, not a lumbering bull mastiff.
Time for the hunter to become the hunted.
Sensing a weakness daddy swan turned and reared up out of the water his huge wing spread high, transforming himself from the graceful creature he is into a towering white giant, he lunged overshadowing and completely enveloping the bull mastiff bitch.......and under she went.
Wow did you see that a passer by said to the photographer, yes said the photographer, wasn't it wonderful just wonderful.
And all the little ducklings and goslings and cygnets and the photographer......................................................................... LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

NOTD Barry M Pink Silver Glitter
Firstly I would like to apologies for my missing blog love lately! Christmas craziness has taken over and I feel like there isn't enough time in the world to get everything done :(
So i'm back and have at least 3 new posts this week!
I have only ever purchased Barry M glitter pots and they are fantastic and to be honest I don't know why I have never purchased more Barry M as every time i'm in Boots I always have a sneaky peak at the stand.
So last week I took the plunge and decided to pick up some of their lovely polishes, I picked up 2, this Pink Silver Glitter and a jelly polish called plum and as I spent over £6 I received a free Christmas treat! I will be doing a post on it later on in the week.
For £2.99 this was excellent value and I will be picking up more Barry M polish in the near future!

Boux Avenue - Silverburn Launch
On Thursday last week I attended a lovely store opening at Boux Avenue with Lori.
Boux Avenue Ltd. is a chain of lingerie stores based in the United Kingdom. The chain is owned by entrepreneur Theo Paphitis. This is the second store to open in Glasgow and the Buchanan Galleries branch was the first in the UK!
They stock a lovely selection of lingerie including DD+ starting from 30 back! I really struggle to get a bigger cup in a small back so for me I was spoilt for choice, so many different styles and designs.

Fave Posts #2
These are the posts in the last 7 days that I have been loving!
Nail posts always instantly catch my eye and this week I noticed a post by Danielle on Models Own Northern Lights, a polish that I don't own but now need to get a hold off. Worth checking out if you are after a sparkly party look for your nails! You can view the post here.
A girl after my own heart Corrie's posts are always right up my street and this one is no different. Posting her 3 autumn lip colours (1 of which I currently own you can view my previous post here). I think these 3 shades are perfect and worth checking out if you want to experiment with a darker lip but are unsure of what to go for, you can view Corries post here.
A nail obsessive like myself I really enjoyed this post by flutter and sparkle. This xmas nails gift list is all things that I would pick for myself so if anyone is looking for some great xmas pressies check out the post here.
After recently purchasing the Revlon lip butters and falling in love, the kissable stains are next on my list and after reading Emilys post I will be on the look out to pick these up! You can view the post here.
Thanks for reading!

Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure Colour Freeze Review
I have recently been testing out proper good quality shampoo's, mainly silicone and sulfate free to see if I it makes an improvement in my hair.
For my birthday this year my mum picked me up the Loreal Ever Pure range of shampoo, conditioner and treatment mask. This was my first time using a nasty free range and I was happy with it but this Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure Colour Freeze range is what my hairdresser uses on me and she told me a few months ago that this is the best shampoo for colour blonde hair so I was on the look out for it ever since.
It is described as;
A rich formula for damaged and dull colour-treated hair. Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure Colour Freeze Shampoo restores over-processed coloured hair.
Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure Colour Shampoo is also suitable as a post colour shampoo for dry, porous and damaged hair.

NOTD Essie Lights
It's official I love Essie! 2nd time I have used the brand since getting the great deal at fragrance direct last week.
This colour is called lights and the images with the flash on show it better than without, its almost a neon Barbie pink, gorgeous colour, really happy with it, don't own anything else like it.
First post I did on Essie you can find here.
The shine and gel like quality is amazing, my off the shoulder mani lasted me 5 days with no chips, which is a record for me! On my nails it feels so smooth and silky and like its staying put!
You can get Essie from Fragrance Direct and Boots.

I remember the hype that surrounded these before they came out here but then once they arrived I actually don't remember hearing much about them.

NOTD Essie Off The Shoulder Review
Essie has been a nail polish brand that I have lusted after for a while but the £8 price tag put me off to be honest. Well not so much put me off but I was hesitant to pay this price when I can get Rimmel, Maybelline and Models Own for much better value.
Have you used Essie before?
Then last week the lovely Holly Arabella tweeted that fragrance direct were some new shades for £1.99 so I literally jumped of my chair to pick some up!
I picked up lights, off the shoulder and cascade cool;
Last night decided to try them out and opted for off the shoulder, its a mix between and pink and coral. Depending on the light the shade can look so different but on the nails its a gorgeous colour
I am really happy with the coverage and quality of Essie and will be looking out for more deals on them. All these 3 shades are no longer available from fragrance direct but you can still get them from Boots.

Tangle Teezer Review
I had spotted this little beauty from afar for a while and one stressful lunchtime decided to pop over to boots and guess what happened! A bit of an emotional purchase I know but now I couldn't live without it and wonder why it took me so long to buy.
It is described as: The Tangle Teezer's unique teeth configuration delivers rapid, pain-free detangling as well as polishing hair for high shine.

Batiste XXL Volume Dry Shampoo
My dry shampoo love!
|Batiste XXL Volume Dry Shampoo
I have tried various types and brands of dry shampoo and this is by far my favourite, as I have fine, limp hair I need every inch of volume I can get! This is just like the normal formula of Batiste dry shampoo but with added powder to give the XXL volume, probably like the dust it powders you get for your hair. So basically this is an all round perfect product for me. I typically have greasy hair but this can see me through a few more days which is perfect for days when I'm a bit lazy..whoops!

My Beauty Love
About 6 months ago my skin went through a change and after being normal/dry for 6 years decided that it would break out in full teen acne and be extremely oily.
I went through all of this in my teens and I was glad to see the back of it! When this change happened, as you can imagine I was not prepared. All my products were aimed at my dry skin and I never ever got spots so my daily routine was basically Clinique 3 step program and that was it. I never really bothered with skincare since my skin was pretty much perfect then I just kind of though ahh what's the point!

Estée Lauder Double Wear
I have been after this foundation for a while and I have asked for a sample at my local boots twice this month but with the Christmas event they have been running low on stock. I then found a sample in Glamour magazine this month but the shade is cashew which is far to dark for my pale skin.

Rimmel Grey Matter and Models Own Peaches and Cream Review
Until 6 months ago I never ever bothered with nail polish, wasn't really interested in nails and when I tried it in the past it would chip within 30 minutes so I deemed it as failure for life!
Then one day I took an interest and started experimenting and now I'm a complete addict. Most of my blog will be nails inspired as its something I have a lot of time for and I love sitting for hours practicing new designs and techniques.

An American Muslim envisions a new kind of learning
NEW HAVEN -- Yasir Qadhi, the son of Pakistani immigrant parents, did what was expected of him and trained to be an engineer.
"As a Muslim child growing up in America, you have to become an engineer or a doctor. It is just understood," said Qadhi.
The Texas native reached the high professional goal set for him by his family, but it soon became apparent that he was not following his muse.
"I decided that life is worth more than solving quadratic equations," Qadhi said in an interview at Yale University.
What Qadhi wanted was an intellectual understanding of his religion.
After 10 years of studying Islam at the prestigious, but extremely conservative, University of Medina in Saudi Arabia, Qadhi returned to the United States in 2005 and hopes to finish his doctorate in religious studies at Yale University in 2009.
Qadhi, 33, was in the Middle East during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, which affected him deeply.
"That was a huge soul searching for me about what I wanted to do with my life, truly, and I thought that I'm in an ideal perspective to build bridges of understanding," between the traditional Islamic world and the United States, he said.
"I see where each one is coming from and I see the excesses and the faults, fears and xenophobia that both sides have ... I think that there needs to be a lot of people who try to build bridges, rather than create walls that don't exist," said Qadhi, who grew up in Houston.
Qadhi will look for a university teaching position once he graduates, but his ultimate goal, within the next decade, is to form an Islamic theological seminary that is taught by Americans, for Americans, in America.
"Anytime a Westerner goes to any country, he or she will come back with types of understanding and baggage that I don't think is positive for an American atmosphere," Qadhi said.
In the meantime, he and four other American Muslims now run the Almaghrib Institute, a weekend seminary where the teachers fly to different locations around the country and in Canada to teach locals advanced Islamic studies in English.
He said the concept has mushroomed from classes of 25 students to seminars for 700 to 800 people.
"We can't even meet the demand, we are too few instructors," Qadhi said.
"We need people who are qualified to be role models for American Muslims and that is very difficult to find," Qadhi said.
They are looking for teachers highly educated in the Islamic tradition who also can communicate effectively with Western students on questions of belief in God, atheism, the problems of materialism, as well as in personal problems of drugs and sexuality.
The average iman from the East is not equipped to deal with these kinds of things, he said and unfairly, Muslim leaders from the Middle East are forced to be all things to all people, beyond what their training is.
"Also, they give the impression that Islam is a foreign religion as well, subconsciously, but the majority of us now in 2008, are not foreign immigrants. Yes, in the 1970s when my dad came, it was different," Qadhi said.
Qadhi went back this year to Houston, where he was asked to lead the Eid-al-Adha prayers in December for a group of 30,000.
Within three decades, the influx of Muslins across the U.S., through conversion and immigration, has grown, but exact numbers are difficult to pin down with estimates ranging up to 6 million people, although the Pew Research Center last year estimated it at 2.35 million. Qadhi said most are served by imans brought here from the Middle East.
"For a time, there was no other solution, but I think we, the second generation, understands that your religion is not going to flourish if you are faced with a clergy who can't communicate effectively with the people," Qadhi said.
He envisions his seminary as also teaching Western philosophy and literature, as well as American history, in addition to pastoral care, to produce well rounded leaders.
Qadhi said there are radical voices out there, but he said the best antidote is studying Islam through an American lens.
"You can't be radical against your own people. You can have differences of opinion, but you will have to express them in a civilized manner, because this is your society, your culture," Qadhi said.
He said he doesn't know of militant clerics in the U.S., but some are hostile to the larger American culture, which is not healthy for the millions of Muslims who want to be faithful to their religion and fully participate in American society.
On a measure of liberal to conservative, Qadhi said he is very traditional and he compared some of the practices and social mores he endorses as close to conservative Christian groups and Orthodox Jews, particularly when it comes to modest dress for women.
He wants to be able to preach this and inculcate these values in his daughters, but as an American he would not force these values on anyone, while he feels his children can make their own decisions when they are grown.
On the larger question of fitting in, Qadhi said all new groups to America had to learn to stand up to racism and hostility.
"They had to fight for their rights through legitimate means and there is nothing more American than feeling proud of who you are and demanding that others respect you for your beliefs and your ideals," Qadhi said.
Qadhi was one of only 25 students chosen to take former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's class this past semester at Yale on faith and globalization. While he disagreed vehemently with Blair's support for the Iraq War, he said it was important to talk to him about it.
"I strongly believe in dialogue, I strongly believe in being honest with each other and talking about the way we feel and I wanted a voice such as mine to be present in class. I think I brought a perspective that perhaps is not generally heard," Qadhi.
Jimmy Jones, associate professor of world religions at Manhattanville College in New York and an Islamic leader at Masjid al-Islam in New Haven, said what Muslims now face is the same thing that Jews and Catholics faced when their numbers increased in this country and they rooted themselves by establishing public institutions, such as hospitals and colleges, which reflected their values.
"I'd say there are many precedents for it," said Jones.
Given Islam's long history of scholarship and the percentage of U.S. Muslim immigrants who are well educated, Jones felt establishing centers of Islamic training and institutions of higher learning would likely be accelerated, compared to earlier groups of immigrants.
"To be a Muslim, in a classical sense, is to be a student. One comes into the world to serve God and humanity. But it's not just a matter of attitude, it's context," said Jones, which speaks to the need for an Islamic message within an American framework.
"Islam looks different in different parts of the world. That has been part of our history," Jones said.
Qadhi said there is a sense among Muslims of a double standard at work in the U.S. and unnecessary concerns about loyalty.
He said many Irish-Americans contributed financially in the 1980s to the fighting in Northern Ireland, while many Jews are supportive of Israel.
"I am an American, but my sympathies are with the plight of the Palestinians as well. But once again the problem comes when it is painted in a very sinister light, us versus them," Qadhi said. "When we support those causes, we are viewed as somehow being a fifth column."
The father of four young children, Qadhi wants to teach for several years at a university to get a better sense of the curricula needed for a seminary, as well as the skills necessary to run a college. The kind of center he has in mind would probably be located near large Muslim communities, such as the suburbs of Houston, Virginia or the Silicon Valley in California.
He said he hopes to be one of many Muslim groups establishing seminaries here, all from different understandings of spirituality and theology.
"I want to see a lot of seminaries established. Having some differences is healthy," Qadhi said.
As for his parents, they were nervous of his initial decision to pursue a study of religion.
"But I think they saw the fruits of who I am. Now they are very proud of me. They are very supportive," Qadhi said.

300 decibels!
funny review by Stone Gray in Car Electronics, 2014-02-18
Koolertron CAR Amplifier Alarm 12v Pa Speaker System Mic 5 Sound New
At 300db, this siren is loud enough to easily blow down houses 600 miles away*. Your friends will likely think that there is an earthquake, as the amount of sound energy will cause the ground to rise and fall approximately 13 feet, and measure 8.3** on the Richter scale. At 20x louder than the largest atomic bomb ever detonated, this is sure to grab the attention of your neighbours.
Be sure to connect to a good power supply, as this will draw 400 quintillion (400,000,000,000,000) watts at full power.
Much louder than the 200db siren I reviewed before. (That one only measured 1 on the richter scale) more

Navy wants to add 22 Growlers to fleet
- by JANIS REID, Whidbey News-Times Staff reporter
- Mar 19, 2014 at 2:53PM
Navy leaders say they want to purchase additional EA-18G Growlers and increase the size of their electronic attack squadrons.
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert told federal lawmakers March 12 that he sees a "growing Growler need," according to aviation industry website FlightGlobal.
Twelve electronic warfare squadrons, comprising both Growlers and EA-6B Prowlers, are based at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.
Ted Brown, installations and environmental public affairs officer for U.S. Fleet Forces Command, said he is aware of the Navy's budget priority with regard to the Growlers, but that it would be difficult to comment on how the additional aircraft would affect NAS Whidbey operations until the contract is funded.
"Since this request has not been funded I cannot speculate on when — or how — this would be addressed," Brown said.
"If and when these aircraft are funded and purchased, the Navy will address their home basing appropriately under the National Environmental Policy Act."
The Growler acquisitions would both protect the nation's industrial base and provide the U.S. military with the electronic warfare capability it will need in the coming decades, according to Navy officials.
"Today we have the minimum numbers in each squadron," said Navy Secretary Ray Mabus. "Looking in the future, we don't think electronic attack is going to get any smaller."
Currently, each squadron has five Growlers, according to Navy figures.
The Navy is seeking to include 22 additional Growlers in its "unfunded" requirements request for fiscal year 2015. That document, which must still be approved by military leaders, includes items that were not in the military's original budget request released earlier this month.
Greenert calls the request a "hedge and risk-reduction" effort, adding that the Navy is "very mindful of the industrial base."
The federal government is also "working on things like foreign military sales to keep that (Boeing Co.) line in business," Greenert said.
Boeing's production line for the Growler and similar F/A-18F Super Hornet in St. Louis will run out of production work in the third quarter of 2016 if the company does not receive additional orders from domestic or foreign militaries.
Australia became the Growler's first foreign customer last year, purchasing 12 of the aircraft and initiating a training program through NAS Whidbey.
The twin-seat Growler provides the electronic jamming capability used in conjunction with other aircraft to optimize fighting efficiency.
NAS Whidbey is the only installation where Growlers are home based.
The Navy started an Environmental Impact Statement in July about the Growlers basing at NAS Whidbey.

'Womenpriests': why should we care?
5 comments:

I don't understand why there cannot be a single space left where we traditionalists can practice in peace without somebody trying to force us to associate in ways we do not care to associate.

I sent a message to Rev. O'Reilly at All Saints late last night, and received the following reply:
"Dear Mr. Milliron:
The event which took place this past Friday was a venue rental and was in no way sponsored by All Saints Episcopal Church or the Diocese of Southern Ohio."
That's it. I think this response raises more questions than it answers. Rent-a-Church?

Thank you, Father, for your words today. This is spot on, I think.
I have yet to hear an argument for the ordination of women to the Priesthood that says anything about the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, spiritual care for and concern for the eternal welfare of the souls entrusted to the priest, celebrating the Sacraments for the people, lifting the burden of their sins in the Confessional, and laying down one's life in the service of Christ God and the people.
I doubt we will hear any of it from these people.
- May 21, 2014 at 12:41 PM
- Bob said...
A few things I've been pondering in the past few days regarding ordination of women.
First, it's been said, "Veronica wiped Jesus' Face, Mary Magdalen stood by the Cross, and announced Jesus' Resurrection, the Blessed Mother stood by the Cross, and the Myrrhbearing Women came to the Tomb, they were all faithful women, so their witness supports women's ordination to the priesthood. All Jesus' male disciples but one fled."
Fine. What about the women in the crowd who were yelling for Jesus to be crucified? Should we ordain them, too?
I saw once a slogan (I think on a bumper sticker or some such) that said, "Ordain women, or stop baptizing them."
That's about as deep as "Keep your rosaries off of my ovaries."
Let's not forget the attitude among many - particularly amongst some seminary formation faculty members in days of not too long ago - that if a man opposes women's ordination, he is a misogynist.
Okay, first, not everyone who opposes the ordination of women to the priesthood is a misogynist. Second, not all misogynists are men. Third, affirming women's ordination does not necessarily equal respect for women. Fourth, not all people who support women's ordination are neo-pagan, man-hating jerks.
Part of the problem - a big part of the problem - is that there is a climate of intolerance, bigotry, and downright hate in the movement(s) to ordain women, and there is a fundamental push in this movement(s) to totally redefine what Catholicism is.
So much for "all are welcome in this place" and all that.

I received the identical reply.
