Aiken Standard (Newspaper) - August 23, 1989, Aiken, South Carolina Football Edition Coming Tomorrow The Aiken Standard will include its annual football edition in tomorrow's newspaper. The football edition will feature previews, rosters and schedules on IO area high school football teams, as well as in-depth looks at the state's two largest football programs — Clemson and USC.A Quick ReadAir France Flight To Algeria Hijacked PARIS (AP) — An Air France airliner with 130 people aboard was hijacked today on a flight from Paris to Algiers, Algeria, French air traffic control sources said. An Air France spokeswoman in Paris confirmed that one of the company's planes had been hijacked but provided no further details. Air traffic controllers in the southern French city of Aix-en-Provence said the plane, which took off from Paris' Orly Airport about 12:50 p.m., had turned toward Tunisia. The controllers spoke on condition of anonymity.No Change Likely In Playing Of 'Dixie' CHARLESTON (AP) - Blacks have been pushing without success for 20 years to stop the waving of the Confedate flag and the playing of "Dixie" at The Citadel athletic events, according to a state NAACP official. And Nelson Rivers, executive secretary for the state's chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said Tuesday he does not expect the practice to change anytime soon. Charleston Councilman Robert Ford asked The Citadel in a letter not to fly the flag or play "Dixie" during its Sept. 30 football game against South Carolina State, a predominantly black school. The Citadel President Lt. Gen. Claudius E. Watts III said Tuesday, "The Citadel will continue to do what we've always done. We look forward to playing South Carolina State, and we will be very gracious hosts. I'm delighted that they are coming."Forbes Not Saying Party's A Write-Off NEW YORK (AP) — Malcolm Forbes is being vague about whether he plans to seek a tax write-off for his Moroccan "party of the century," but opponents are indignant at the idea of a tax break. "If this party were to be tax-deductible it would be a perfect example of how the tax system is unfair to the average citizen and benefits the rich," said Michael Waldman, director of Public Citizen's Congress Watch, a Ralph Nader organization. The magazine publisher's 70th birthday party in Tangier on the north coast of Africa last weekend featured 600 belly dancers, 200 Berber horsemen, pigeon pie served under elaborate tents and a guest list that included Elizabeth Taylor, Henry Kissinger, Walter Cronkite, Lee Iacocca, Rupert Murdoch, Barbara Walters, Beverly Sills and Donald Trump.Weather Fair Skies Tonight Fair skies are forecast tonight with a low in the mid 70s.

The vote to approve the land develop-Shortfall Is Expected In S&L Bailout By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The $50 billion savings and loan bailout signed by President Bush this month probably isn't large enough, federal regulators are indicating after a look at new figures on the industry's health. The nation's 2,934 S&Ls lost $3.7 billion in the April-June quarter, up from $3.5 billion in the first three months of the year, the Office of Thrift Supervision said Tuesday. It was the biggest loss since the record $4.1 billion loss in the second quarter of 1988. The latest discouraging report came just two weeks after President Bush signed leg''*atio.; authorizing $50 billion to close or sell failed institutions over the next 26 months. During the six months leading up to the bill's approval, administration officials repeatedly said they believed $50 billion would be adequate, although they couldn't guarantee it. Now, regulators' statements indicate that private analysts probably are right in predicting the administration will have to come back to Congress for more money.

The regulations are to go into effect Oct. I after the county's legal counsel sorts out and puts to print the hastily constructed, and at times confusing, amendment that ended the debate. Councilman Eddie Butler, District 4 Republican, offered an amendment dealing with curb cuts (driveways), cul-de- sac lengths and increased lot sizes that broke the deadlock. In its wording, it bypassed two controversial items dealing with private subdivisions, threw in additions to curb cut rules and finally set a target date for implementation. Specifically, Councilman Butler's amendment, which passed on a 7-1 vote with one abstention, restricts curb cuts to 300 feet spacing between driveway entrances and allows cul-de-sacs of 1,500 feet. The third part of the amendment increases from one acre to two acres the King Of The K's AP Laserphoto STRIKEOUT NUMBER 5,000: Nolan Ryan of me Texas Rangers tips his hat to the spectators after pitching the 5,000th strikeout in his career.

The curb cut regulation also carries a provision that allows acceleration and deceleration lanes or parallel roads in those areas where the traffic safety corridors prove more practical. Dropped from the disputed items were two measures dealing with private subdivisions, which will be covered in another ordinance, and reserve capacity of roads serv ing proposed subdivisions.

Also Tuesday, police said they had started proceedings to extradite the reputed finance chief of the Medellin drug cartel to the United States, where he faces conspiracy and drug trafficking charges. The arrests in Galan's slaying created additional security headaches for a nation under a years-old campaign of terror by drug traffickers and their hired hitmen. The arrests in downtown Bogota appear to reflect an unusual efficiency on the part of security forces. Never before in a major drug-related assassination had police announced key arrests with such speed. In many cases no arrests were ever made.

One problem is that although New Philadelphia Judge Edward O'Farrell routinely orders first-time offenders to jail, the local facility is so full they don't have to serve their time for at least a year, said the study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. "I think I've known that all along,"' O'Farrell said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "You can't do it alone." The study compared drunken driving statistics and interviews with motorists in New Philadelphia against those of nearby Cambridge, Ohio, where the sentencing is not as stiff. Researchers said their surveys "failed to show less drinking and driving in New Philadelphia." "Even a determined judge like Edward O'Farrell is incapable of creating the needed certainty of punishment on his own," the report said. "Limited jail space remains an important constraint on the O'Farrell policies." Farrell's anti-drunken driving campaign has received publicity on numerous national television programs and in newspapers and magazines. In drunken driving cases since 1982, the judge has routinely handed out 15-day jail (PleaseSee DUI's, Page 15A) Dance Fantasy Voyager Reveals New Surprises On Neptune vBy The Associated Press PASADENA, Calif. - Voyager 2, only a day away from its close encounter with Neptune, searched today for more moons and rings after the surprising discovery of a first complete ring around the storm-wracked planet. "Suspects have been seen here and there," said Bradford Smith, a University of Arizona planetary scientist who heads Voyager's photographic imaging team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "I would expect several more satellites." So far, Voyager has found four small moons besides Nereid and backward-orbiting Triton, which were first seen years ago from Earth. After Voyager makes its closest approach by flying 3,000 miles above Neptune's cloudtops at 8:55 p.m. PDT Thursday, the probe may find a sheet of ring material encircling the planet — similar to the broad band of dust it discovered around Uranus in 1986, lab oratory astronomer Rich Terrile said. Smith announced Tuesday the spacecraft found at least one complete ring of diffuse debris orbiting Neptune, with part of it thicker than other parts. He said a partial ring discovered by the spacecraft almost two weeks ago also may prove to be a second complete ring. Tuesday's find, the latest in a string of discoveries by the probe during passes by Jupiter in 1979, Saturn in 1981 and Uranus, elated scientists. "I like the idea Voyager is going out with a bang. It's going to blow our minds," said Carolyn Porco, a planetary scientist with the University of Arizona, Tucson. Pictures taken by Voyager on Aug. ll revealed two partial rings — or ring arcs — extending around Neptune. One of them couldn't be found in later images and was dubbed the "lost arc," until Voyager relocated it Tuesday and found it goes all the way around the planet.

Interview: Fabrizio Sotti
Thu, 18 Apr 2013 07:57:49
Melanie Fiona Photos
Melanie Fiona Videos
"My music is inspired by my life and feelings," says Fabrizio Sotti. "Most of what I do musically is a necessity of expression. After twenty years of doing this, you keep getting better at expressing those emotions and saying what you're trying to say. For a guitarist, I can write a song, but I can't sing. It's much easier to express if you sing. With a guitar, you leave a lot to the imagination."
His new album, Right Now out May 14, will definitely pique your imagination's interest immediately. If you're not familiar with him, Sotti is a virtuoso guitarist on par with the likes of John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia, and he continues challenging himself. Right Now enlists a myriad of international vocal powerhouses from Melanie Fiona to Zucchero to re-imagine some classic tunes. The album also offers some incredible new originals as well. For guitar aficionados and pop music fans alike, Right Now is a must. It's got the requisite technical virtuosity, but it's couple with a heavenly melodic sensibility. In other words, it's pure musical bliss.
In this exclusive interview with ARTISTdirect.com editor in chief Rick Florino, Fabrizio Sotti talks Right Now and more.
When did the whole vision for the album become clear to you?
That's a good question. When I started to conceive this project, I was trying to really find a sound for my jazz guitar material. I wanted it to be an easier compass in terms of rhythm and instrumentation. It's a really crazy sound. There are a couple of factors for that. One, of course, is the band. Even though we do a lot of different arrangements, the main sound is there. There's nothing programmed so it's pretty organic. I found a way to improvise and still keep that jazz element. You can hear the songs are pop tunes, but the harmonies are very jazzy. I kept that pretty consistent throughout the whole album. Even though there are different types of music and singers, it came out like one piece of work.
The instrumentation is still intricate, but the songs are melodic.
Yeah, it's interesting. In the past four or five years, the Latin influence is really coming out much more in playing. Combining to my jazz vocabulary, my Latin, Brazilian, and flamenco influences come out with age. With this album, I wasn't calculating what I was playing. I was trying to make the best music possible without overthinking what I was doing. It's really spontaneous for what it is.
There's something for everybody essentially.
There are going to be a lot of different listeners who will take separate experiences from this album. If you're into jazz, you can still hear enough interesting jazz parts melodically and harmonically. For the person who's not into jazz, I found a way to play that so it's easy to the ear. It's a different vibe. It took me a while to do that. I really had to find a sound in this experiment I was doing. I found a particular way to communicate.
Do you feel like you leave a piece of yourself on the covers?
Usually when I play with other people, I try to get into the music and the style of playing. I found it interesting that the Latin vibe was coming out in my playing lately. It also showed in the last album, Another Country. That was a very Latin record, which was totally unexpected for me.
What's the story behind "Once In a Blue Moon"?
It's actually a song I wrote many years ago. I tried to record the song with a couple of different singers. I've kept it to myself for the past eighteen or twenty years. It was a tune I wrote when I was in love with an older woman for the first time [Laughs]. It was a first love. You think you've found a treasure. You think you've found something really special, and these beautiful lyrics came out. Thank God, I wrote it quick enough before I realized it wasn't true. At least I got the tune out of it.
Where did "While the Sun Is Rising Come From"?
It was included on my album Through My Eyes, but I decided to do a different version of it here. I thought it was the perfect transition on a certain point of Right Now. I wrote it many years ago on a day when I was on the road in Italy. We were staying at a really pretty place in the mountains. It was overwhelmingly beautiful. For some reason, I couldn't sleep in the morning so I started to watch the sun rising. I got that excitement of a beautiful summer day coming up. I captured the emotion behind it.
What's your primary guitar?
My main guitars are usually Marchione semi-hollow body. They're used for when I play straight ahead jazz and anything that requires an electric guitar. There's a little bit of an acoustic sound to the semi-hollow body. Then, I use a couple of Spanish guitars. One is made by Manny Rodriguez, and one is also made by Marchione. Those are the main instruments I play. I used a lot of guitars on this album. I used acoustic guitars, six-string guitars, 12-string guitars, and more. I've got a mini-orchestra of guitars on this album [Laughs].
What was your first guitar?
It was an Italian classical guitar called Eko. It was very cheap, and it was made in Italy. My mom gave it to me when I was 9-years-old. We moved from one apartment to the other, and we didn't have the piano I used to play. Piano was my first instrument. She gave me a guitar, and I looked at it like a mini-piano.
When did you get into Jimi Hendrix?
I first heard Jimi Hendrix when I was 10- or 11-years-old. An aunt of mine gave me a Jimi Hendrix cassette tape for Christmas. That changed my life. I'd never heard a lot of electric guitar up to that point. His way of using the guitar interested me so much. When I heard him and then Wes Montgomery, everything was different. I was playing mainly classical music, a whole new world opened for me.

Ofcom's radio licensing system aims to secure efficient use of the spectrum and manage harmful interference.
Interference can arise from a number of sources, not all of which can be controlled by regulation - for example, atmospheric conditions. The regulatory regime does not necessarily guarantee that interference will not arise.
In addition, the person owning or using any electrical apparatus is responsible for ensuring that it does not cause harmful interference to others. They may be required to rectify any interference issues.
The BBC is responsible for dealing with complaints of interference to domestic television and radio reception except where the source is an unlicensed broadcast station. Ofcom will offer advice and assistance, and where appropriate investigate, where we receive reports of harmful interference from consumers and citizens.
Illegal broadcasting, otherwise known as pirate radio, is the operation of an unlicensed and unregulated radio station. Illegal broadcast stations cause widespread and indiscriminate interference.
What to do if you would like to report any information about illegal broadcast stations.
Radio frequency heating (RFH) machines belong to a class of apparatus known as Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) equipment which is used in a wide range of applications. RFH machines use high power radio waves in applications such as wood glue drying, plastic welding and sealing, textile dye fixing, textile drying and food processing.
Interference from Radio Frequency Heating (RFH) machines
We have a range of measures at our disposal in seeking to secure compliance with the law and to ensure a proportionate response to transgressions. We may offer information and advice, issue warnings, serve notices, issue fixed penalty notices, issue simple cautions (England and Wales only) and may prosecute (or report to the Procurator Fiscal with a view to prosecution in Scotland).
Ofcom upholds the principles of firm and impartial enforcement underpinned by the principle of proportionality.
In England and Wales Ofcom brings prosecutions for spectrum-related offences, like illegal (pirate) radio broadcasting. The decision to proceed with a court case rests with Ofcom.
In appropriate cases, Ofcom is likely to consider both the evidence and the public interest. We may have regard to the CPS's Code for Crown Prosecutors.
In Scotland the Procurator Fiscal brings prosecutions. The decision about whether to bring a prosecution is the Procurator Fiscal's. This may be on the basis of a submission by Ofcom.
Legislation gives the courts considerable scope to punish offenders and to deter others, including imprisonment for some offences. Unlimited fines may be imposed by higher courts. The courts can also order offenders to forfeit expensive equipment and to pay Ofcom's prosecution costs.
With the ever-increasing demand for radio based services, monitoring of the radio spectrum plays a vital role today in keeping the spectrum clean for authorised users, particularly the emergency services. It is also an essential and integral part of the spectrum management process, producing and evaluating data to aid spectrum managers in their day-to-day work. The radio monitoring station, located near Baldock in Hertfordshire, is Ofcom's 'listening ear' on the radio spectrum.
The monitoring station today has a much broader spectrum monitoring capability than when it began life in 1929. Its original role was to monitor the international HF radio circuits operated by the General Post Office (GPO), which followed on from historic first transatlantic radio telephony services received at the site from New Jersey, USA.
Ofcom takes enforcement action across a number of industry sectors and is able to use a range of statutory powers granted by, amongst others, the Communications Act 2003, the Competition Act 1998, the Enterprise Act 2002, the Broadcasting Act 1990, the Broadcasting Act 1996, EU Regulations and the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006.
We take enforcement action for the benefit of citizens and consumers to:
Ofcom sets and enforces regulatory obligations as well as enforcing the general law. We have a set of overarching regulatory principles to guide how we operate, including that we:
In practice, this means we make evidence based decisions and require operators in the communications market to abide by the rules. If operators seriously, persistently or deliberately break these rules, or do so in some other way we consider requires intervention, then we take decisive enforcement action.
This approach protects citizens and consumers from harmful practices, but allows industry an appropriate level of freedom to compete and innovate. It pursues our principal duties to further the interests of citizens in relation to communications matters and of consumers in relevant markets.

In album Conservative Friends Gathering 2009 (23 photos)
Google+: View post on Google+
Yesterday the family visited Vineland NJ Mennonite Church.
We were coming after 8:30 Mass at Julie's church and arrived a few minutes before the worship service while they were doing their religious education program. But the distinction between religious ed and worship was minimal, almost non-existent. Attendance at both was near-universal (about 110 total) and much of the worship itself was religious education. There was a series of 15 minute'ish sermons (delivered by various men), broken up by some four-part a capella singing (beautiful), recitations from a Bible verse they were memorizing and kneeling prayer (a surprise the first time, as they all spin around suddenly to face the back, kneel and pray).
It's probably one of the most religiously conscientious communities I've seen. A lot of the service involved reviewing belief structure. Their book of discipline is very slim, not much more than a tract, but it's something they use and they spent part of the time reading from it. Much of the worship hour was meant to reinforce who they were, why they were and how they were – to explain over and over why they led their distinctive life. Theirs is a voluntary association for those who agree to follow the authority of the group's teachings. I suspect that every adult in the room could give a detailed presentation on conservative Mennonite faith and give detailed answers about points of doctrine. At the risk of inserting my own opinion I will venture that the worship service felt a bit dry (as Julie said, there wasn't a ounce of mysticism in the whole proceeding) but I don't think the members there would feel offended by this observation. Exciting the senses is less important than reviewing the values and living the moral life.
Visually, the group is striking. Every man in the room wore a long-sleeved white dress shirt buttoned all the way up, dark pants and black shoes; all had short hair and only one or two had facial hair. I was more distinctively plain in my broadfalls and suspenders but the effect of sixty-or-so men and young boys all dressed alike was visually stunning. Like a lot of plain peoples, the women were more obviously plain and all but one or two wore lightly-colored cape dresses and head coverings (I later learned that the exceptions were newcomers who weren't yet members). Seated was segregated, women on the left, men on the right. Gender roles are very clear. There were kids – lots of kids – all around, and a big focus of the sermons was family living. One extended sermon focused on discerning between providing well for one's family vs. greed and the balance between working hard for your family vs. giving up some things so you can spend time with them. Kids were present throughout the service and were relatively well behaved.
The church itself was called a meetinghouse and was plain – no crosses of course. People sat in pews and there was a raised area up front for ministers and elders. The building doubled as a schoolhouse during the week and its schoolrooms had a lot of Rod and Staff books, familiar from our own home schooling. A member described the school as one leg of the three-legged stool, along with church and family. If any one part of the equation was lacking in some way, the other two could help insure the child's moral welfare. School was free for church members but was open on a tuition basis to non-Mennonites. These outsiders were required to make certain lifestyle choices that would insure the school stayed relatively pure; the most important requirement was that the family not have a television at home.
My regular readers will have one question on their mind right about now: did anyone invite us to lunch? Why yes they did! We didn't even have to prompt it. We knew a couple there – M and J, who run a restaurant in the local farmer's market, a favorite Saturday morning stop for us. They took us under their wing when they recognized us, sitting with us during worship and then showing us the school. J said that if we came back again we could come over for lunch. Then she backtracked and offered that we could come now, explaining that the church had had recent discussions over whether it was too pushy to ask first-time attenders to lunch or whether they should restrain themselves and invite them on the second visit. Wow, a church that thinks about this?!
So we followed them to their place for lunch. It was a wonderful opportunity to ask more questions and get to know one another. Meals are important. Julie and I had wondered why there were Mennonites in Vineland NJ of all places – and two Mennonite churches at that! Short story is that there had been a civilian public service facility in Vineland for conscientious objectors and Lancaster-area Mennonites decided that "the boys" stationed there needed the grounding of a local church community (apparently other C.O. camps were scenes of debauchery – Mennonite drag racing in Colorado Springs was cited). This became Norma Mennonite Church, which still exists and is another local church I've been meaning to visit for years (hi Mandy!). In the 1960s, there was a great round of liberalization among Mennonites, an unofficial abandonment of the distinctives codified in their books of disciplines. Many churches split and the Vineland Church was formed by those members of Norma who wanted to maintain the discipline.
This probably explains the strong focus on the rules of the discipline. For those wanting more of the histories, I commend Stephen Scott's excellent "An Introduction to Old Order and Conservative Mennonite Groups" along with anything else Stephen Scott has written. The Vineland congregation is part of the Eastern Pennsylvania Mennonite Church conference, profiled on pages 173 – 176. A lot of the Mennonite issues and splits are echoed among Friends and we'd do well to understand these cousins of ours.
The result is a church that's big on group practice: the dress, the lifestyle. M. told me that they don't believe in theology but in Biblicism. He explained that they don't think the Bible contains the word of God but instead that it is the Word of God and he paused to let the distinction sink in. The Bible is not to be interpreted but read and followed, with special attention given the gospels and the letters of Paul.
So no, I'm not going to go Conservative Mennonite on you all. I have a TV. My profession is web design (they're not into the internet, natch). I'm married to a praciticing Catholic (I don't know how they would bend on that) and at this point my brain is wired in a curious, outward way that wouldn't fit into the normative structures of a group like this. Doctrinally-speaking, I'm a Friend in that I think the Word of God is the Inward Christ's direct spirit and that the Bible needs to be read in that Light. There's a lot of people who wouldn't fit for various reasons, people who I would want in my church (they maintain a hard line against remarriage after divorce and I didn't even ask about gay issues). But I have to admit that the process and structure puts together a really great community of people. They're hard-working, kind, charitable and not nearly as judgmental as you might imagine – in practice, less judgmental than a lot of progressive religious people I know. Non-resistance is one of the pillars of their practice and they were genuinely interested in Julie's Catholic church and my experiences among Friends and we talked a fair bit about Islam.
Normally I'd give a big thanks to the church and M & J here, except I know they won't read this. I am grateful to their kindness in sharing their church, beliefs and family meal with us.
Over on Tape Flags and First Thoughts, Su Penn has a great post called "Still Thinking About My Quaker Meeting & Me." She writes about a process of self-identity that her meeting recently went through it and the difficulties she had with the process.
I wondered whether this difficulty has become one of our modern-day stages of developing in the ministry. Both Samuel Bownas (read/buy) and Howard Brinton (buy) identified typical stages that Friends growing in the ministry typically go through. Not everyone experiences Su's rift between their meeting's identity and a desire for a God-grounded meeting community, but enough of us have that I don't think it's the foibles of particular individuals or monthly meetings. Let me tease out one piece: that of individual and group identities. Much of the discussion in the comments of Su's post have swirled around radically different conceptions of this.
Many modern Friends have become pretty strict individualists. We spend a lot of time talking about "community" but we aren't practicing it in the way that Friends have understood it – as a "religious society." The individualism of our age sees it as rude to state a vision of Friends that leaves out any of our members – even the most heterodox. We are only as united as our most far-flung believer (and every decade the sweep gets larger). The myth of our age is that all religious experiences are equal, both within and outside of particular religious societies, and that it's intolerant to think of differences as anything more than language.
This is why I cast Su's issues as being those of a minister. There has always been the need for someone to call us back to the faith. Contrary to modern-day popular opinion, this can be done with great love. It is in fact great love (Quaker Jane) to share the good news of the directly-accessible loving Christ, who loves us so much He wants to show us the way to righteous living. This Quaker idea of righteousness has nothing to do with who you sleep with, the gas mileage of your car or even the "correctness" of your theology. Jesus boiled faithfulness down into two commands: love God with all your might (however much that might be) and love your neighbor as yourself.
A "religious society" is not just a "community." As a religious society we are called to have a vision that is stronger and bolder than the language or understanding of individual members. We are not a perfect community, but we can be made more perfect if we return to God to the fullness we've been given. That is why we've come together into a religious society.
"What makes us Friends?" Just following the modern testimonies doesn't put us very squarely in the Friends tradition – SPICE is just a recipe for respectful living. "What makes us Friends?" Just setting the stopwatch to an hour and sitting quietly doesn't do it – a worship style is a container at best and false idol at worst. "How do we love God?" "How do we love our neighbor?" "What makes us Friends?" These are the questions of ministry. These are the building blocks of outreach.
I've seen nascent ministers ("infant ministers" in the phrasing of Samual Bownas) start asking these questions, flare up on inspired blog posts and then taildive as they meet up with the cold-water reality of a local meeting that is unsupportive or inattentive. Many of them have left our religious society. How do we support them? How do we keep them? Our answers will determine whether our meeting are religious societies or communities.

Just finished: Kenneth S.P. Morse's "A History of Conservative Friends" from 1962. Like most histories of Conservative Friends, it's both heartening and depressing. It's great to read the quotes, which often put the dilemma very clearly, like this one from Iowa Friends in 1877:
In consideration of many and various departures in Doctrine, Principle and Practice, brought into our beloved Society of late years by modern innovators, who have so revolutionized our ancient order in the Church, as to run into views and practices out of which our early Friends were lead, and into a broader, and more self-pleasing, and cross-shunning way than that marked out by our Savior, and held to by our ancient Friends.… And who have so approximated to the unregenerate world that we feel it incumbent upon us to bear testimony…and sustain the Church for the purpose for which is was peculiarly raised up.
I love this stuff. You've got theology, polity, culture and an argument for the eternal truths of the "peculiarly raised" Quaker church. But even in 1962 this is a story of decline, of generations of ministers passing with no one to take their place and monthly and yearly meetings winking out with disarming regularity as the concept of Friends gets stretched from all sides. "It is certainly true that most of those who call themselves Friends at the present time are only partial Friends in that they seem not to have felt called to uphold various branches of the Quaker doctrine."
Putting the book down the most remarkable fact is that there are any Conservative Friends around still around almost fifty years later.
The task of sharing and upholding the Quaker doctrine is still almost impossibly hard. The multiplicity of meanings in the words we use become stumbling blocks in themselves. Friends from other traditions are often the worst, often being blind to their own innovations, oftener still just not caring that they don't share much in common with early Friends.
Then there's the disunity among present-day Conservatives. Geography plays a part but it seems part of the culture. The history is a maze of traditionalist splinter groups with carefully-selected lists of who they do and do not correspond with. Today the three Conservative Yearly Meetings seem to know each another more through carefully-parsed reading of histories than actual visitation (there is some, not enough). There's also the human messiness of it all: some of the flakiest liberal Quakers I've known have been part of Conservative Yearly Meetings and the internet is full of those who share Conservative Friends values but have no yearly meeting to join.
No answers today from me. Maybe we should take solace that despite the travails and the history of defeat, there still remains a spark and there are those who still seek to share Friends' ways. For those wanting to learn more the more recent "Short History of Conservative Friends" (1992) is online and a good introduction.
Pictures from this weekend's gathering of Conservative Friends (Quakers), held in Lancaster County PA and hosted by Keystone Fellowship Friends Meeting of Ohio Yearly Meeting Conservative.
Arthur Berk on "Basic Christian Quakerism"
The Convincement Story of John L.: a particularly interesting story of a family's journey from the LDS (Mormon) Church to Friends.
An interview with Raye, a member of Ohio Yearly Meeting Conservative who serves on their Electronic Outreach Committee. You can also watch it on QuakerQuaker: Quaker Video and Electronic Outreach.
Raye: Ohio Yearly Meeting holds our yearly meeting in Barnesville Ohio – some people know us as those Barnesville folks. We have an electronic Outreach Committee and that includes the oversight and ministry associated with our website. We spend time thinking about how to open up to people who might be interested in Friends' ways and might want to know more about us whether or not they've ever read the Journal of George Fox. We're trying to expand our witness, if you will.
One of the questions that has come up in this electronic outreach group is: what types of communication or video are useful for someone to get to know us but also respectful of the fact that we do worship and that worship is a spiritually intimate time. We're trying to bridge and deal with respecting the worshippers, the Friends themselves, to not put on a performance and yet to try to communicate what it is that is edifying in practice and worship.
Martin: How do you give newcomers a taste of Quakers without directing it too much? If you just have that silent empty box it's hard for newcomers to know what should be filling that box.
Raye: One of the things Friends have done for hundreds of years is to publish, to keep journals and to share that. But that's not all there is to the Friends experience. There are those quiet times and those moments of ministry that we believe are Spirit-inspired. Many of us wish we could give people a little taste of that because that doesn't show up in a lot of published writings. That spontaneous and timely, and at times prophetic, witness that we see in our Meetings. We have considered digital video as a way to do that.
Martin: I love the video possibilities here. Video can be a way of reaching out to more people.
Raye: It's not just anything that can be written. Certainly the writings that have been published are very helpful in getting some sort of a glimmer of where we have been, or in some cases where we are headed or where we are. But there is nothing like that experience of being with Friends in meeting. It doesn't always happen but there are these moments called a covered meeting or a gathered meeting where everybody seems to be in the same place spiritually and when seems to be messages and gifts coming through people. That's difficult to get across.
We're hoping that with video we can discuss these kinds of things after the fact. We don't want to turn it into a spectator sport or performance.
Martin: Authenticity is a key part of the Quaker message. You're not practicing what you're going to say for First Day or Sunday. You're sitting there and waiting for that immediate spirit to come upon you.
Raye: We don't know when that will happen. There are meetings where everybody is very quiet, where there's a sense of that spirit and unity but it may be an outwardly quiet meeting. I have been in meetings where someone stood up and began to sing their message or a psalm or someone had a wonderful sermon that was perfect for the moment. These things happen but we don't know when they will.
My F/friend Raye Hodgson is taking a train from Connecticut to South Jersey next week for a visit, and locals and would-be visitors are invited to my house for some worship! Raye's involved with Ohio Conservative and New England Friends and seems to be doing a cool sustainable agriculture project these days (which I didn't know except for Google!)
It's next Thursday, the 19th at 7:30pm in Hammonton. If you want to join but don't have my address just send me an email and I'll provide details. There's also a Facebook event listing for this. If enough people are interested we can have more occasional Conservative/Convergent/Emergent Quakerly worship in this part of South Jersey! If you can't make it but are intrigued by the idea, let me know and I'll keep you in the loop.
UPDATE: The worship went well, about half a dozen people showed up. If you want to be alerted to any follow-up worship opportunities in the Hammonton area send me an email and I'll add you to my list.

A BUSINESSMAN killed a retired cop so he could rekindle an affair with his wife, a court heard.
Kenneth Bill, 63, dated Carol Hay 40 years ago before she married husband John, 61. They had a brief affair earlier this year and she ended it.
But Bill was "obsessed" and wanted John out of the way, it was claimed.
So he allegedly lured self-employed builder John to a bogus meeting in an industrial unit.
The prosecution says John, of Huddersfield, West Yorks, was killed and his body was burned.
It has never been found.
Bill, of Holmfirth, West Yorks, allegedly told his business partner that he planned to kill John.
Police got a break when Carol, 62, recognised Bill's voice on a phone message left for John, the court heard. Bill denies murder.
The trial at Bradford Crown Court continues.

Houston Mayor Annise Parker says people often don't know what to do with unused prescriptions.
"It is a problem in cities all across the country that when people decide that they're going to flush unused medications — we really need to get the word out that is inappropriate. It has caused, in some places, significant problems with these drugs entering into the water supply. We would encourage people to bag them and bring them to one of these periodic drug drop-off locations."
A number of sites will participate this weekend in the drug enforcement agency's national drug drop-off.
You can find a list of locations at National Take Back Initiative Collection Site Search.

NHGRI/NIH, Bethesda, MD
PURPOSE:Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS) is a rare disorder that involves oculocutaneous albinism, platelet storage pool deficiency, interstitial lung disease, and inflammatory bowel disease. There are 8 genetic subtypes including HPS-1, common in Puerto Rico and among ethnic Puerto Ricans living in the continental U.S. Many physicians remain unaware that HPS-1 (and HPS-4) patients are at very high risk to develop interstitial lung disease (ILD) as adults.
METHODS:Since 1993, the National Human Genome Research Institute has followed HPS patients, who are seen biannually as inpatients and receive pulmonary and radiologic evaluations.
RESULTS:From 1993–2008, 298 patients were studied; 192 were genotyped Type 1 or Type 4. Pulmonary function testing and/or high resolution CT detected ILD in both types 1 and 4. The youngest ILD patient was 19, the oldest, 73. The majority developed ILD between 35 and 55 years. The youngest death was at age 27. There are three survivors identified past age 65, all with moderate ILD. No patient with HPS types 3, 5, or 6 has developed ILD.
CONCLUSION:From the first 15 years of this study, it appears all HPS type 1 and type 4 patients will eventually develop ILD. ILD begins after puberty and peaks in the 4th decade of life, and is the major cause of death for these patients. Other HPS types are not at increased risk for ILD.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS:HPS is a major cause of ILD in Puerto Rico and among individuals with albinism. Recognition and genotyping HPS patients will allow early monitoring and early detection of ILD. It should be possible to treat the ILD of HPS earlier than ILD due to other causes. Physicians should become familiar with HPS and evaluate patients with albinism for this disorder. Health care providers should suspect HPS especially, but not exclusively, in patients with Puerto Rican ancestry. Pulmonary function testing should begin after puberty and patients should be followed throughout their lifespan.

German stile restaurant, however everything is bio of fair trade there, which is amazing in a small town like Goslar.
A perfect place for your dinner or for a simply meeting. If u like the Italian cuisine than u are in the right place. Stay as long as u want it will be a nice memory !
A local co-worker brought us here and everyone loved it. The rumpsteak was amazing. The environment was comfortable and inviting. The location is right next to the old Palace which made it easy to find. Overall, great meal.
We walked into this restaurant without reservations on a Saturday night but had no problem getting seated. The decor and atmosphere were very nice and the menu selection was diverse. Waitstaff were attentive and very tolerant of food allergies, offering substitutions not on the menu. The food was excellent, though my serving of salmon and potatoes had far more potatoes...
In truth we made a mistake with Weite Welt. It was the modern and clean look that appealed following a disappointing resturant experience the night before but Weite's World failed to deliver. It was a fairly busy Friday night, but the staff seemed unfazed by the crowds until two British people arrived with only a little German. We were placed...

WASHINGTON (AFP) - - A string of surprisingly strong earnings reports suggests US banks are emerging from a near-death experience, but some analysts say the troubled sector faces more pain.
Bank of America on Monday joined the parade of financial firms reporting robust results -- a profit of 4.2 billion dollars in the first quarter, beating its performance for all of 2008.
Last week, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs all topped expectations with strong profits, a hopeful sign for an industry critical to recovery from the severe recession. Wells Fargo said its results would show "record" profits in the January-March quarter.
The apparent renewed health of banking sector comes in part from record-low interest rates from the Federal Reserve, which has cut its base rate to near zero as part of an effort to stimulate lending and growth.
"The banks are benefitting from a jump in mortgage refinancing as well as the fact that with interest rates so low, they are able to borrow cheaply and therefore profit more from lending," said John Wilson at Morgan Keegan.
"It ought to be difficult for a bank not to make money in this environment."
But banks are also setting aside large chunks of cash for bad loans, suggesting they anticipate more mortgages and credit card debt may sour.
Bank of America for example added a hefty 6.4 billion dollars to its loan loss reserve. Citigroup charged off some 4.6 percent of its loans.
Although Citi managed to show a profit of 1.6 billion dollars in the first quarter after losses of more than 18 billion in 2008, some analysts were unimpressed.
Citi's results included "several one-time items which muddied the waters in assessing the franchises underlying performance," said Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden.
Some analysts say that below the surface, banks are still fragile and may face another round of deep problems ahead, especially if the economy remains weak.
Martin Weiss at Weiss Research called the surge in earnings "bogus," and a result of tricks including an easing of mark-to-market accounting rules.
"Regulators have now agreed to let banks cover up their toxic assets by booking them at fluffy-high values, bearing little resemblance to actual market prices," he said. "Like magic, the bad assets are suddenly worth more."
Leahey said most banks have written off troubled mortgage securities but now face issues with rising defaults on other loans and credit cards.
"Banks are making money in traditional business lines but that could be swamped by a second tidal wave of losses tied to the economy," Leahey added.
Skewing bank results, say analysts, has been payments from bailed-out insurer American International Group (AIG), which shelled out tens of billions of dollars to banks to cover soured investments or so-called credit default swaps.
Goldman Sachs, for example, received nearly 13 billion dollars from AIG before it posted a quarterly profit of 1.8 billion dollars.
"In the case of Goldman, the AIG payments dwarfed the positive earnings," said Bob Eisenbeis, economist at Cumberland Advisors. "That's the reason that people are justifiably skeptical about these earnings."
Eisenbeis said banks "have every incentive to squeeze a lot of positives into this quarter" to end the vicious cycle of falling asset and stock prices that has led to a death spiral for some institutions.
Some skeptics say AIG, which has gotten a US government bailout worth some 180 billion dollars, is being used to "funnel" cash into the banking system.
"Anybody owed money by AIG got bailed out 100 cents on the dollar, and some people don't thing that is fair," Leahey said. "But you cannot not avoid paying 100 cents on the dollar without going to bankruptcy court."
Robert Brusca of FAO Economics said AIG is indeed a funnel but possibly the only way to avert a calamity in the banking sector that would deal a further blow to the economy.
"If you didn't help AIG, then AIG would not be able to pay off the banks, and we would be stuck with a collapsing banking system," he said.
Brusca said it remains unclear how much AIG has helped the bottom line of the banks because earnings reports lack such details.
"We know the banks are very impaired, they have a lot of problems," he said. "And we know they will get worse as long as the housing problems get worse."

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) – Malaysian police Saturday seized a cache of books by one of the country's best known political cartoonists five days after the artist was detained for alleged sedition.
Zulkifli Anwar Ulhaque – better known as Zunar – told AFP that 200 copies of his latest book "Ros in KangKong Land" were confiscated by police as they were being transported from the printers to a book launch.
The book of more than 140 cartoons targets Prime Minister Najib Razak, his notoriously spendthrift wife Rosmah and also touch on contentious issues such as opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim's sodomy trial.
The seizure comes just days after Zunar was arrested and detained for three days for criticising the jailing of Anwar in the politically charged case.
Since 2009 police have seized over 1,000 copies of Zunar's books and he has been accused by security forces of a hate campaign against the ruling regime, the cartoonist told AFP.
"They claim the content of my books is detrimental to the security of the country," he said.
"But as a cartoonist, it is my job to portray what the public are talking about. My cartoons represent the feelings of the people. That is my job and I will not be intimidated by anyone."
Only 20 copies of the "Ros in KangKong Land" were available at the book launch Saturday.
The defiant satirist's detention Wednesday for alleged sedition was triggered by a Twitter post condemning the Anwar's five-year jail sentence.

|Multiple scheduled builds on the same project...
|Wed, 31 Oct 2007 02:43:41 GMT
I'm a little confused over how multiple build definitiions on different schedules interact within a project. After reading several threads it looks like my understand was correct, yet my installation doesn't seem to behave as expected. I have three schedules set up: Hourly Every four hours Nightly I have four build definitions Hourly: clean test Every four hours: clean integration-test Nightly: clean install Nightly: clean site site:deploy When a SVN commit occurs, the next hourly build shows that it detects the changes and builds. The nightly and four-hourly builds don't seem to respond. I thought that each schedule had its own "dirty" checker for SCM, so that the fact that their were no changes since the hourly build shouldn't stop these other schedules from running. However when I looked in the continuum working directly, I see only a single checked out project directory, so I wouldn't expect it to think that the project needs to be built.... So my questions are a) should the different builds function independently of each others "updated-ness" b) if yes, where should I look to debug this? c) if no, what's the correct configuration to establish my desired build schedules? Thank you. Eric

"From a far away land they came, from the end-point of Heaven do the Lord and his weapons of wrath come to destroy the whole Earth. Therefore will I agitate the Heaven and Earth shall be shaken out of its place. When the Lord of Hosts shall be crossing, the day of his burning wrath." Isaiah 13:1
"...For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day the Noah entered the ark."
"And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." St. Matthew 24: 38-39
"A terrible comet was seen by the people of Ethiopia and Egypt, to which Typhon, the king of that period, gave his name; it had a fiery appearance and was twisted like a coil, and it was very grim to behold; it was not really a star so much as what it might be called a ball of fire." A time no more distant perhaps than 3,500 years ago.
'The inhabitants of this country say that they have it from their ancestors that the sun now sets where it formerly rose,'
"The Egyptians pride themselves on being the most ancient people in the world. In their authentic annals ... one may read that since they have been in existence, the course of the stars has changed direction four times, and that the sun has set twice in that part of the sky where it rises today."
"The fact I hope to establish is that from the fifteenth century to the eighth century before the present era the astronomical year was equal to 360 days; neither before the fifteenth century, nor after the eighth century was the year of this length."
'Seven days before the deluge, the Holy One changed the primeval order and the sun rose in the west and set in the east.
'There had been no sun in existence for many years ..[The Chiefs] began to peer through the gloom in all directions for the expected sight, and to make bets as to what part of heaven [the sun] should first appear ... but when the sun rose, they were all proved wrong, for not one of them had fixed upon the east.'
"If there is the greater activities in the Vesuvius, or Pelee then the southern coast of California and the areas between the Salt lake and the southern portions of Nevada may expect within the three months following same, an inundation by the earthquakes." - Edgar Cayce.
"Nature and the spirit of our ancestors are giving you loud warnings. Today you see increasing floods, more damaging hurricanes, hail storms, climate changes and earthquakes as our prophecies said would come. Why do animals act like they know about the earth's problems and most humans act like they know nothing? If we humans do not wake up to the warnings, the great purification will come to destroy this world just as the previous worlds were destroyed." -Thomas Banyacya, HOPI Nation address to United Nations, December 10th, 1992
In the Ancient Syrian city Ugarit (Ras Shamra) was found a poem dedicated to the planet-goddess Anat, who 'massacred the population of the Levant,' and who 'exchanged the two dawns and the positions of the stars.'

(no rating)
I am an avid reader of most all fiction genre so I feel sure that I am being very objective when I say that Keeper of the Seed is one of the best mystery/romance novels that I have read. Rachel Benson Gifford's style of writing fits in the same category of Fern MIchaels (sisterhood series) and Nora Roberts (writing as J.D. Robb). I am most impressed with this new writer and look forward to her next novel, The Seedling

(no rating)
Once again another literary talent has emerged for the rich delta farmland of Northeast Arkansas, Keeper of the Seed was an absolute great read and can not wait for the sequel. Rachel surpassed herself and amazed me with her wit, drama, and writing a novel using my home environment. The only bad thing I can say is I got behind on my chores, cause I couldn't put it down.

I'm enrolled in the Landmark Curriculum for Living courses. They were recommended by my friend, Ryan Allis. The third program in the series is the Self Expression Leadership Program. Your objective is to create a project that'll impact the community. The project is suppose to be a self expression about what matters to you in your life.
I decided to take on a project that'd help anyone, anywhere, anytime get access to a mentor (human and or artificial intelligence) that'll help them pursue their dreams. My goal is to have at least 50+ young adults being mentored on the platform before April 2015. I'm super excited for this project. I've always enjoyed helping people pursue their dreams. I use to do it when I was involved in MLM and with our 15+ meetup202 events around the world, where we taught people how to make a living through internet marketing.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Today the New York Times teased a Sunday magazine feature on the young women of the the Yearning for Zion Ranch—the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' (FLDS) Texas compund that was raided in April.
Times photographer Stephanie Sinclair, the teaser says, "was given rare and intimate access to some of the young women who have found themselves at the center of the often-bilious battle between the state of Texas and the F.L.D.S." The result is an eye-catching essay of 16 photographs.
Contrast is really what makes these photos work so well artistically. The juxtaposition of the pastel prairie-style dresses against a run-of-the-mill suburban ranch house lends an appealingly surreal quality, reminiscent of the uncanniness of Diane Arbus' work and the magic realism of Gregory Crewdson's. But what are those strange-looking ladies really like?
The teaser opens with 16-year-old Teresa Jeffs, "hitch[ing] up her navy blue prairie dress and hoisted herself into the crooked arms of a live oak tree that sits in front of the Schleicher County Courthouse in Eldorado, Tex." One of the photos shows her jumping on a trampoline. The implication is clear: Teresa and the other teenage girls at the Yearning for Zion Ranch have been forced to become adults (and possibly mothers) before they're ready.
The photos are neat and all, but as for reporting, I'm kind of hoping for more. I've seen pictures of the prairie garb and the famous poof-do. I've talked to people who think that the polygamy is corrupt, and I've heard FLDS women on the news state their numbingly rehearsed defense of their lifestyle. And I've watched Big Love—which has some stunningly well-developed characters (for reals). But for all the to-do about the ranch raid, I have yet to see deep reporting on the real-life FLDS women. And maybe I never will. From the Times teaser:
We may never know much about the individual circumstances of the young women in these pages or, most important, whether the relationships that carried some of them into motherhood were forced upon them. The women Sinclair met offered no information about the nature of their marriages or who the fathers of their children are.
But shouldn't we at least try? Here's hoping the New York Times does this weekend.

Less than a week after taking Farnborough Town to Highbury for an FA Cup tie, Graham Westley has left the club to take over as manager of their Nationwide Conference rivals Stevenage Borough.
Westley resigned as manager and chairman of Farnborough yesterday to move to Stevenage. A former Queen's Park Rangers player who is now a successful businessman, he had been in charge of the Cherrywood Road side since 1999.
Although Stevenage are one place off the bottom of the Conference, while mid-table Farnborough made a considerable profit from their FA Cup run which ended with Saturday's 5-1 defeat to Arsenal, Westley is joining a club with greater long-term potential. Unlike Farnborough's ground, Stevenage's Broadhall Way stadium is of Football League standard.
