Right-wing media attacked NBC News and MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell for not airing a 1998 tape of President Obama on Wednesday before the network could authenticate it, accusing NBC of a "double standard" and of being a subsidiary of the Obama administration.
In fact, in seeking to verify the full context of what Obama said 14 years ago, comments first publicized by the Drudge Report and subsequently distorted by right-wing media, NBC News was doing exactly what is required of news organizations: checking the facts.
On September 18, the Drudge Report linked to an edited video of then-Sen. Obama saying, "I actually believe in redistribution." Right-wing media then jumped on the video to attack Obama as a socialist, while Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney used it to deflect from his comments that the 47 percent of Americans who pay no federal income tax "are victims" and claimed "they will vote for [President Obama] no matter what."
The next day, discussing the Drudge tape on her MSNBC show, Mitchell stated:
MITCHELL: Let's explain this redistribution issue because we have not authenticated this 14-year-old tape from Loyola college when Barack Obama was a state senator. So because we have not independently, at NBC News and MSNBC, authenticated it, we're not airing it.
But the basic issue is, they're accusing President Obama, as John Sununu said to me yesterday, of class warfare.
In an email to Politico, an NBC News spokesperson added:
"In any instance like this -- regardless of the source or topic -- NBC News Standards will issue guidance instructing broadcasts to not air content unless or until we can determine that it is authentic, unedited, and not taken out of context."
Mitchell and NBC were immediately attacked.
In her syndicated column, Michelle Malkin depicted newly finalized fuel economy standards as dangerous to consumers. But in fact, standards have been reformed to remove incentives for smaller, potentially less safe cars, and technological improvements have made many smaller cars just as safe as larger vehicles.
In March, Fox News walked back its false attacks on the Chevy Volt after being called out by former GM Vice Chairman and political conservative Bob Lutz. But with Volt sales up, Fox is resuming its campaign against Chevy's plug-in hybrid, promoting a falsehood that Fox News itself labeled a "myth."
Fox Nation is promoting a Newsbusters article that calls the Chevy Volt the "epitome of this [auto] bailout nightmare mess" and claims "The Press is at every turn covering up - rather than covering - the serial failures of President Obama's signature vehicle."
I'll let Fox News' Steve Doocy debunk this one. From Fox & Friends back in March:
DOOCY: Lee, I'm glad you brought up that, the myth -- that so many people think that Barack Obama, you know, came to office and shoved this down GM's throat. It had been in development for almost two years, as you detailed.
The article also contains several other false attacks:
Demonstrating how easy it is for reckless media outlets to foster confusion about climate change, Fox News again misrepresented a scientific paper last night, claiming it provides "more evidence for global cooling." Over the past several years, Fox has repeatedly pushed the claim that "the Earth is actually cooling."
From last night's edition of Special Report:
Here's what Special Report anchor Bret Baier neglected to mention:
Prior to Fox News' report, the right-wing website Newsbusters published a post on the study and asked if "America's global warming-obsessed media will pay any attention to this new information." Newsbusters laughably declared that the study "thoroughly debunks global warming."
An Associated Press article about President Obama speaking at a June 14 fundraiser in New York omitted key context to portray Obama as having said that the celebrities in attendance are the "ultimate arbiter of which direction this country goes." In fact, Obama said that the attendees and "the American people" are the "tie-breaker" and the "ultimate arbiter" of the country's direction.
Right-wing blogs and Fox News ran wild with the AP's distortion of Obama's comments.
From the AP article:
President Barack Obama soaked in the support, and the campaign cash, of Manhattan's elite entertainers Thursday as his re-election team sought to fill its fundraising coffers.
The president and first lady Michelle Obama made a rare joint fundraising appearance when they visited the home of actors Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. The intimate dinner banked about $2 million, with 50 people paying $40,000 each.
The dinner was the Obama campaign's latest attempt to bank on celebrities for fundraising help in countering the growing donor enthusiasm from Republicans supporting Mitt Romney's presidential bid.
Speaking in a dimly lighted, art-filled room, Obama told supporters they would play a critical role in an election that would determine a vision for the nation's future.
"You're the tie-breaker," he said. "You're the ultimate arbiter of which direction this country goes."
Among the celebrities on hand to hear Obama's remarks were Oscar winner Meryl Streep, fashion designer Michael Kors and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who moderated a private question-and-answer session between the president and the guests. Broderick, who was starring in a Broadway musical, was absent. [emphasis added]
From the White House website's transcript of the event:
In some ways, this election is more important than 2008 -- because in 2008, as much as I disagreed with Mr. McCain, he believed in climate change. He believed in campaign finance reform. He believed in immigration reform. And now what we have is a Republican nominee and a Republican Party that has moved fundamentally away from what used to be a bipartisan consensus about how you build an economy; that has said our entire agenda is based on cutting taxes even more for people who don't need them and weren't asking for them; slashing our commitment to things like education or science or infrastructure or a basic social safety net for seniors and the disabled and the infirm; that wants to gut regulations for polluters or those who are taking advantage of consumers.
So they've got a very specific theory about how you grow the economy. It's not very different from the one that actually got us into this mess in the first place. And what we're going to have to do is to present very clearly to the American people that choice. Because ultimately you guys and the American people, you're the tie-breaker. You're the ultimate arbiter of which direction this country goes in. Do we go in a direction where we're all in this together and we share in prosperity, or do we believe that everybody is on their own and we'll see how it plays out? [emphasis added]
Some in the conservative media are comparing voter ID laws to a supposed photo ID requirement for First Lady Michelle Obama's upcoming book signing to accuse the Obama administration of hypocrisy. However, such a comparison is invalid, because while people have a constitutional right to vote, they do not have a constitutional right to meet with the first lady.
On May 30, the blog Obama Foodorama reported that Michelle Obama will appear at a Washington, D.C. Barnes & Noble on June 12 to sign copies of her new book, American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America. Obama Foodorama further reported that those wishing to attend the event will have to purchase a copy of the first lady's book and "submit their social security number and show an official photo ID (driver's license, passport) to a Secret Service agent" in advance of the signing.
Conservative media have seized on Obama Foodorama's report to attack the Obama administration, accusing them of having a hypocritical position on photo ID requirements.
A June 6 NewsBusters post by John Bates, headlined "First Lady Requires Photo ID for Her Book Signings; Voter ID Law-hating Media Fail to Note Obama Hypocrisy," declared:
The Obama administration has done its best to oppose states from instituting new, stricter voter ID laws, complaining that many minority voters lack photo identification. But those same folks it wants voting in November are apparently not welcome anywhere near the First Lady's book signings. Something tells me that the same media outlets comparing voter ID laws to the Jim Crow Laws, however, won't see any hint of hypocrisy here, if they even report the story at all.
Fox Nation linked to the NewsBusters post with the headline "Michelle Obama Photo ID Rule."
UPDATE: Sheppard has removed the offending image and added the following text:
Readers are advised that the original article included a doctored picture of Obama and others that turned out to have anti-Semitic imagery that I didn't notice when I incorporated it into the piece. Those familiar with my work know that's not something I would intentionally do. I apologize to anyone with better eyes than I have that noticed the imagery and was in any way offended.
The replacement image is one of the top Google Images results for the phrase "obama laughing," as is the original anti-Semitic illustration.
The Media Research Center's NewsBusters blog is using an anti-Semitic image depicting Jewish control and influence over the U.S. government to illustrate one of its posts. The entry, written by NewsBusters associate editor Noel Sheppard, is accompanied by the following Photoshopped image:
Conservative media are once again hyping the amount of oil in the U.S. by including oil shale, ignoring that oil companies have found no profitable way to develop that resource.
The most recent flood of misinformation came after testimony by the Government Accountability Office's Anu Mittal about "oil shale," a sedimentary rock that when heated at high temperatures can produce liquid fuels (except gasoline) with a larger carbon footprint than conventional liquid fuels. While some conservative outlets claimed it was major news, the testimony -- which was based on an October 2010 GAO report -- contained no positive developments for oil shale, which has long been known to exist in large amounts in the U.S. but is not commercially viable. Earlier this year, energy expert Robert Rapier wrote, "It is not at all clear that even at $100 oil the shale in the Green River formation will be commercialized to produce oil." Even an editor at the right-wing blog The American Thinker acknowledged that "any large scale operations" for oil shale development would be "prohibitively expensive at this time." And just recently, Chevron gave up its oil shale lease in Colorado.
Mittal noted in her testimony that no technology to develop oil shale "has been shown to be economically or environmentally viable at a commercial scale." But Fox News' nightly news show and CNSNews.com, a project of the conservative Media Research Center, failed to mention that oil shale is not currently commercially viable. Breitbart.com and Investor's Business Daily incorrectly suggested that oil shale is not being developed because of Obama administration policies, rather than economic considerations. And Powerline suggested that oil shale is in fact viable because of the "advance of extraction technology," seemingly confusing oil shale with tight oil from shale rock, which can be extracted via horizontal drilling and hydrofracking.
It's interesting to see that the same people who dismiss the enormous potential of solar and wind power and attack investment in renewable energy are hyping the potential of oil shale. A December 2011 Congressional Research Service report, which classified oil shale as a "sub-economic" resource, stated that "despite government programs in the 1970s and early 1980s to stimulate development of the resource, production of oil shale is not yet commercially viable."
Rush Limbaugh has been roundly condemned after he attacked Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke, smearing her as a "slut" and a "prostitute" after she testified before Congress recently about the problems caused when women lack access to contraception.
Yet Limbaugh's misogynistic comments have been defended in the right-wing media.
Fox Nation: "Limbaugh Takes Blowtorch To Fluke 'Slut' Controversy." On March 1, Fox Nation posted video and transcript of Limbaugh's comments with the headline: "Limbaugh Takes Blowtorch To Fluke 'Slut' Controversy." From Fox Nation:
[Fox Nation, 3/1/12]
CNN's Erickson: " Of Course Rush Was Being Insulting ... But He Was Using Insult And Sarcasm To Highlight The Absurdity Of Sandra Fluke And The Left's Position." In a March 2 RedState post, CNN contributor Erick Erickson responded to Carly Fiorina, vice chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, after she criticized Limbaugh's comments as "insulting." Erickson wrote:
Well of course Rush Limbaugh was being insulting. It is not something I would do, but he was using insult and sarcasm to highlight the absurdity of Sandra Fluke and the left's position, which in a nut shell is they think you, me, and every other American should pay for them to have sex. And while I understand people being offended, I am offended by many of these same people thinking I should be subsidizing what has, for years, been considered a consensual act. [RedState, 3/2/12, emphasis added]
In a hard-hitting* interview with Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Newsbusters' Noel Sheppard opened by asking:
Well, I'm sure you saw EPA chief Lisa Jackson was named Energy Policy Maker of the Year by Politico last night. And I quote, "The EPA chief has been a forceful advocate on environmental issues and has held the line against intense Republican attacks on her agency." Is this kind of like Time picking Hitler or Khomeini as Man of the Year - whoever had the most impact whether for good or ill?
Later, Sheppard alleged that Jackson is "trying to set policy without oversight by the legislature" based on the "anthropogenic global warming myth."
In fact, it was the Supreme Court that ruled that the EPA is required to regulate greenhouse gases under the bipartisan Clean Air Act unless it "it determines that greenhouse gases do not contribute to climate change" or "provides some reasonable explanation as to why it cannot or will not exercise its discretion to determine whether they do." Following extensive review of peer-reviewed scientific literature, which overwhelmingly concludes that global warming is caused by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases, the EPA found that greenhouse gases classify as a pollutant under the Clean Air Act.
Newsbusters' questions fit into a conservative media narrative that demonizes Lisa Jackson and grossly mischaracterizes EPA's actions to address climate change.
Anonymous hackers recently released another batch of emails taken from a climate research group at the University of East Anglia in 2009, along with a document containing numbered excerpts of purportedly incriminating material. Many of these selections have been cropped in a way that completely distorts their meaning, but they were nonetheless repeated by conservative media outlets who believe climate change is a "hoax" and a "conspiracy."
The conservative media is divided on anonymous sources: Some right-wing media figures have been hyping a claim by an anonymous source that Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is "likely involved with the sexual harassment" allegations against Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain. At the same time, however, other conservative media figures have tried to cast doubt on the sexual harassment allegations against Cain by pointing out that they are based on anonymous sources.
Responding to a report that Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain allegedly engaged in "sexually suggestive behavior" in the 1990s, right-wing media figures have turned to race-baiting, arguing that Cain is being targeted because he is a "black conservative" and that he is the victim of a "high-tech lynching."
Conservatives are busy spinning the results of a new Pew Research Center study that found among all the candidates running for president, Barack Obama has received, hands down, the least amount of positive coverage (and among the most negative) over the last five months.
The eye-opening conclusion, of course, runs counter to the generations-old mantra that the press has a liberal bias and that reporters and pundits have been on the side of Barack Obama since Inauguration Day.
According to the Pew results, that's just not the case. Not even close.
It's true that some observers (including Media Matters) have in the past questioned the usefulness of similar press coverage studies. But conservatives have cited past Pew reports as a way to portray the rest of the media as biased.
So what's the conservative response to Pew's latest finding? Partisans claim the Pew study is flawed, in part, because it monitored too many media outlets when taking the press' temperature on Obama. It's true that the study cast a very wide net, collecting data not just on the traditional media organizations and how they covered the candidates, but from thousands of sites on the Internet. And that may explain why Obama's coverage as measured by Pew was so downbeat: Because the right-wing blogosphere is built around a very simple formula of hating President Obama.
Wallowing in guttural disdain for the President of the United States, not to mention his wife, is what far-right media outlets do around the clock. That's their business model. So it's not surprising that when a study sets out to measure all of Obama's coverage, the right-wing media's relentlessly negative, and often hateful, attacks on him would help tip the scales in terms of tone.
In other words, it appears conservatives are furious that the Pew study may have accurately captured the insane amount of the scorn and contempt the far right heaps on Obama. Conservatives are indignant that their endless, fact-free hate-fest may have been truthfully measured.
Note to conservatives: Nonstop loathing has its consequences.
The Washington Post's Richard Cohen recently criticized GOP Presidential candidate Rick Perry for wrongly stating that "there are a substantial number of scientists who have manipulated data" to exaggerate global warming.
Responding to Cohen's piece, NewsBusters, a project of the Media Research Center, defended Perry's remarks, claiming that it has been "clearly proven" that scientists doctored the data:
As for the manipulation of data, 2009's ClimateGate as well as a myriad of recent findings concerning significant errors in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 2007 report have clearly proven this.
The only thing that has been "clearly proven" from the overblown "ClimateGate" controversy is that no amount of evidence will disabuse conservative media of the misconception that "ClimateGate" exposed scientists manipulating data to exaggerate global warming. This claim has simply become part of their retelling of history. But it is baseless.

New Aboriginal Affairs minister named
Bernard Valcourt, a New Brunswick MP, has been named Canada's new minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development (AANDC).
Valcourt, who served the Conservatives during Brian Mulroney's time at the helm before returning to politics in 2011, was sworn in at a private ceremony at Rideau Hall on Feb. 22.
Valcourt replaces John Duncan, who stepped down on Feb. 15 after writing an inappropriate letter to Canada Revenue Agency on behalf of a constituent.
In a press release, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Valcourt will continue to work to advance dialogue on Aboriginal issues and "take achievable steps that will provide better education and economic outcomes for Aboriginal peoples across Canada."
Valcourt was first elected to the House of Commons in 1984 as a Progressive Conservative. He served as Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and Minister of Employment and Immigration before losing his seat in 1993.
He then served as the leader of the Progressive Conservatives in New Brunswick before returning to federal politics in 2011 as MP for Madawaska-Restigouche.
In his first statement as AANDC minister, Valcourt praised the government's actions on indigenous issues.
"Our government has made significant progress in improving outcomes for Aboriginal peoples across Canada," Valcourt said in a statement. "We have built new schools, invested in clean drinking water systems, built thousands of new homes, increased funding for services for the most vulnerable members of First Nations communities, and invested in hundreds of projects to link Aboriginals with job training services."

Their needs to be a minister
Their needs to be a minister of whiteman affairs.lol
So Kenora MP Greg Rickford
So Kenora MP Greg Rickford got overlooked and he is likely disappointed according to some media reports. Although he had a chance to become minister of Aboriginal Affairs, the prime minister didn't want to favour the Kenora riding too, too much with two big appointments within a month. Lynn Beyak of Dryden just recently got appointed to the likes of Brazeau, Wallin and Duffy; she's now a senator. Her recent appointment likely quashed Rickford's chances of becoming a minister. But then, if Harper is serious about advancing the aboriginal issues to a high level game, he wanted someone in the department with some ministerial experience, thus Bernard Valcourt. Rickford doesn't have that experience yet. There will come a time for a patronage appointment for Rickford. So, he shouldn't look so gloomy yet; patient may be.

I have lived in and among the coal mines of Campbell Co Wy for over 50 years. You are mistaken about the reclamation of the mines. I have seen first hand what a great job the mines do to reclaim the land. It is usually better or at the same level after it has been mined than before. I know for a fact that they even go as far as to take counts of mice and other small animals to make sure that they are re introduced at the same level as prior to mining. I own a business that is located less than 1 block from the train tracks that carry coal every day. I do not ever see coal dust on my vehicles or buildings either. Who ever is spreading these falsehoods about the threat of coal dust etc. Have no knowledge of the truth.
No I am not employed by a mine. So I have no reason to lie. I just want the truth to get out that this is the cleanest burning source of coal in the World.

I am new to this site and in need of help. Thanks in advance for advice and sharing of your knowledge.
I have a GE pfs22sbsbss refrigerator that is barely cooling. Serial number is LM056870. The temps in the display are 40 for the freezer and 46 for the refrigerator. I checked these with a thermometer and the display is accurate. After slowly rising to these temps, they seem to have stabilized. A fan is circulating air inside the refrigerator. The compressor is running (it vibrates and is quite warm to the touch). The evaporator fan is not running but will "try" to run if it is given a push......maybe 1 or 2 revolutions (slowly). I aimed a small fan at the evaporator coil and it cooled both the compressor and evaporator coil, but after two hours, the temps did not change from 40 and 46. Does this rule out the evaporator fan as the culprit? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

David Moulton: Time for Tiger Woods to gobble up another Masters
Nearly five years have passed since a golfing god named Tiger Woods beat Rocco Mediate and the field on a broken leg to win the 2008 U.S. Open.
A lot has happened since. We all know the story.
Now he's back. He's healthy. He's playing well, winning three events already this year. The parts of his game that failed him the last two years, his wedges and putting, have been much better. Off the course he's dating, releasing press photos like he just want to the mall for some Glamour Shots.
There are no more excuses. It's time.
Time for Tiger Woods to win the Masters again.
He is the best player in the world again. He is highly motivated. I mean, he has not won the Masters since 2005. Phil Mickelson has won twice since then. That fact alone should drive him enough to win. Never mind the fact he stands four majors behind Jack at the age of 37. It's not old by any stretch, but even the great Nicklaus only won four majors after the age of 36.
If he is going to catch Jack, doesn't he have to channel his inner-Jack this week?
Lee Trevino fared about as well against Nicklaus in his prime as anyone ever did. Yet even he acknowledged once about competing against Jack, "There are times when the big dog is hungry and it's just best if you get out of his way and let him eat."
Has Tiger ever been this hungry? Doubtful. His major drought is twice as long than at any other point in his career. Eight years since he won at Augusta? A course so made for his game that none other than Nicklaus once joked, "He may win 10 of these jackets."
At this rate, just getting his fifth would be great.
We should know early. Tiger is not a come-from-behind kind of guy. In fact, he's never done it to win a major. If Tiger is in fact still Tiger, he will show up at Augusta, and by late in the afternoon Friday be in the lead. He will come out Saturday and shoot the best round of all the leaders to extend his lead to nearly a handful of shots. Sunday, he will calmly and systematically make no mistakes while everyone chases after him. They may get within one or two, but when he birdies all the par 5s to shoot a smooth 68, he'll walk up 18 in that power red shirt and black cap a conquering golf hero again.
He'll be greeted by an Augusta roar they save for only a few.
This is what's about to happen, right? It sure feels as if this time has come. You know those times, when the great ones, the legendary ones, bring their best to the occasion and make a statement. They play so much better than everyone else that it's as if their game spoke. What it says simply is, "I'm done messing around. I needed a win and you all were in my way."
We've had some nice stories in golf lately. The next superstar, Rory McIlroy, has lapped the field winning a couple majors and started dating a top-10 tennis player. A Hall of Famer, Ernie Els, wins a British Open for old time's sake. A guy named Bubba wins the Masters, with a pink driver and crying. But now it's time to get serious. Time for order to be restored.
Tiger once won four Masters in eight years, so how can he not win once in the eight since?
If he's back, truly back, then Tiger wins this week.
That's what the Tiger of old would do.
That's what the Big Dog in his day would do.
After all, it's long passed time to eat.

Beginnings in England
Friends in the New World
Western Migration
Origins of Friends United Meeting
Some Basic Beliefs and Practices
Structure and Organization
Role of Ministers and Pastors
Friends United Meeting Today
"And when all my hopes in men were gone, so that I had nothing outwardly to help me, nor could I tell what to do, then, oh! then I heard a voice which said, 'There is One, even Christ Jesus that can speak to thy condition.' And when I heard it my heart did leap for joy." George Fox
George Fox, born in 1624, experienced several years of intense spiritual conflict looking for an authentic faith. He wandered through England searching the Scriptures and seeking help from priests, professing believers in the established church and dissenters but seemed to find no satisfying answers.
Then, when he had just about given up any hope of getting help from others, he discovered the living Christ to be his contemporary. In June of 1652, in the northwest of England, he climbed a high hill and had a vision of a great people to be gathered in the power of the Lord.
From that time on he preached with great authority and by his death in 1691 some fifty to sixty thousand persons in England were firmly convinced Friends. The Seekers who responded to the message that Fox proclaimed found Christ to be a living presence in the depth of their own experience. They had met with God face to face and the encounter had left them changed persons.
Their all-consuming passion was to live lives of holy obedience. Jesus' words, "You are my friends if you do what I command you" (John 15:14) took on great meaning for them and became the basis for using "Friends" as their identification. The label, "Quaker," was first used as a derogatory nickname because early Friends had urged those who heard their message to tremble in the face of the power of the Lord.
Eventually they were glad to take the name themselves. Their lives had been shaken to the core by the power of God. The hearts of the first Friends were set ablaze by the fire of the Spirit and they sought to share their experience with others.
About seventy men and women in the Northwest of England felt a call to declare the Truth that Friends had discovered. They traveled, mostly two-by-two, throughout the British Isles and wherever an English sailing ship could carry them. It was a youth movement from the start. Most were under thirty years of age. If their message had been concentrated in a single sentence, it would have been "Christ is here today to teach His people Himself." They came to be called "The Valiant Sixty." They ministered to all who would listen-beggars, peasants, tradespeople, merchants, scholars, nobility and royalty.
Mary Fisher and Ann Austin were the first Quaker messengers to the mainland of North America. They landed at Boston in 1656 and were immediately seized by the authorities, imprisoned, then sent back to their point of departure. Those who followed them were often banished, fined, whipped, imprisoned, and some of their number, including Mary Dyer, the first woman to die for her faith on these shores, were hanged on Boston Common between 1659 and 1661. But like the Apostles of an earlier age, they could not be restrained. "If God calls us," they exclaimed, "woe to us if we come not."
Rhode Island was the earliest Quaker beachhead. The Friends message was received so widely there that at one point half of the population was Quaker and the colony elected ten Quaker governors to 35 terms
In 1672 George Fox and William Edmondson were the first bearers of the Christian gospel to the settlers of North Carolina. They presided at the first service of Christian worship ever held within that colony's border. Later, the gifted John Archdale became the Quaker governor of the Carolinas, and half of the representatives of the legislature were Friends.
Because of disorders and religious persecution in England, Friends began to immigrate to the New World. Quaker settlements were established in many colonies. The first colonies to receive the practical interest of Friends were the Jerseys which, through the complication of trade, came into Quaker hands.
In 1681, William Penn accepted the grant of land that became Pennsylvania as payment of a debt which King Charles II owed his father. The colony was Penn's "Holy Experiment," his attempt to apply Quaker principles to the practical business of government. Under Quaker leadership the colony flourished and prospered for decades.
The provision of 1787, which declared that the Northwest Territory was to be a land forever free of slavery, grasped the imaginations of Friends living in the South. They saw an opportunity for themselves and their children to escape an oppressive slave environment. Clusters of families from Friends communities and entire Meetings migrated west of the Appalachian Mountains. In a very real sense a "Quaker Exodus" took place between the latter part of the 1700s and the Civil War as Friends poured into Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan and overflowed into the states beyond the Mississippi.
The momentum of migration surged forward again following the war and soon there were Quaker settlers on the rim of the Pacific. As various regions were settled new Yearly Meetings were established. At the dawn of the nineteenth century Friends in the United States were all concentrated in the narrow strip between the Appalachians and the Atlantic Ocean; by its conclusion they had spread over 3,000 miles from sea to shining sea.
The broad geographic dispersion kept the various Yearly Meetings somewhat isolated from one another and a diversity of practice began to develop.
A conference of representatives from all of the Yearly Meetings in official correspondence with London Yearly Meeting was called to meet in Richmond, Indiana, in October of 1887. (Link to the "Declaration of Faith" issued by the Richmond Conference.)
When the delegates met together they found that they shared many common concerns such as peace, evangelism, legislation, foreign missions, education, Bible schools, the welfare of minorities, and publications. It became clear that the Quaker witness might be more effective if some of these concerns were undertaken together instead of separately.
In 1902, after two more conferences held at five-year intervals, a formal organization was established by Friends gathered in session in Indianapolis, Indiana, to be known as Five Years Meeting of Friends in America. In 1963 the name was changed to Friends United Meeting (FUM) after the decision to meet triennially (every three years).
"For you are all the children of light and children of the day." I Thessalonians 5:5
Friends seek to be "Children of Light" in both personal and social morality. Like the Early Church, Friends begin with the experience of the presence and the power of the living Christ; the Christ who makes His will known and guides and directs.
Christians are those who have been transformed by Him, who have passed from darkness into His glorious light. "Walking in the Light," Friends have tried to:
- follow Christ's way of peacemaking in a world gone mad with war, [Guide for Friends on War and Conscientious Objection to the military service (Revised 10/01).]
- maintain the highest integrity in the midst of a society that practices deceit and exaggeration,
- adjust one's lifestyle to the simple basics on a globe with limited resources in spite of the prevailing theme of "Acquire, acquire,"
- seek God's justice for all and exploit no one,
- recognize the full equality of men and women, and of all people regardless of race,
- and make decisions within our community of faith based on unity under Christ's leading rather than by factions and majority rule.
Quaker worship, whether unprogrammed (based on silent waiting and prophetic speaking out of the silence) or programmed (with a simple order of service and usually including a period of silent waiting), is a group experience of communion with Christ who is present in the midst of His gathered people.
The Church is the company of the people in whom Christ dwells. Outward sacraments are not necessary since Christians follow Him who baptized "with the Holy Spirit and fire" (Luke 3:16), and who is Himself "the bread of life" (John 6:35). The primary authority for Friends is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Scriptures. The Inspirer is greater than the inspired, but all leadings of the Spirit are to be checked with the Scriptures. Leadings are also to be checked with the community of faith.
Friends believe that the call to follow Christ is a call to ministry. Each person is a minister utilizing gifts in the service of Christ's cause and the Kingdom of God. Friends abolished the laity and became a fellowship of ministers.
Friends have always recognized that some of their number are more gifted for public ministry than others. These are persons, both men and women, whose gifts of speaking, visitation, and uplifting counsel under the leading of the Spirit, stir up and encourage others in their ministry. Over the years Friends have "recorded" the gifts of such persons.
In addition to ministering helpfully in their local Meetings, recorded Friends ministers have often traveled far and wide in ministry among Quakers and to others. In the latter 1800s, as new converts came into the Quaker fold, several Friends Meetings in North America began to ask recorded ministers to carry out duties comparable to those of Protestant pastors.
The task of the minister serving as pastor was to orient the new converts to the Quaker way of life. Today pastors serve a large number of Friends Meetings in the United States. Their primary responsibility is to energize and equip others for ministry. In unprogrammed meetings, such leadership is exercised by the elders (or Ministry and Counsel committee) of each local meeting.
Local congregations are called "Monthly Meetings" because the members generally meet monthly to conduct church business. Among both programmed and unprogrammed meetings, the presiding officers of the monthly meetings are known as clerks.
Several Monthly Meetings may comprise a Quarterly Meeting. A group of Quarterly Meetings comprises a Yearly Meeting, which is the autonomous and authoritative body. In North America there are 31 Yearly Meetings, 11 of which join together in cooperative ministries through Friends United Meeting. Friends General Conference (FGC), established in 1900, has fourteen Yearly Meetings, five of which hold membership jointly in Friends United Meeting.
Organized in 1966, Evangelical Friends International (EFI) has six Yearly Meetings in North America. Three Yearly Meetings are members of the Conservative group and seven Yearly Meetings are unaffiliated.
Friends United Meeting is composed of 30 Yearly Meetings with a membership of about 45,000 in the United States and Canada; an estimated 150,000 in East Africa; and 800 in Jamaica, Belize, Cuba, the West Bank and Mexico. This represents about half of the Friends in the world.
According to FUM's Purpose Statement, "Friends United Meeting commits itself to energize and equip Friends through the power of the Holy Spirit to gather people into fellowships where Jesus Christ is known, loved and obeyed as Teacher and Lord."
Those interested in going deeper into the Quaker experience can find resources in the Friends Meeting nearest them and from the Quaker Hill Bookstore (1-800-537-8838), which has the largest collection of Quaker material available for purchase in the world.

Star Entertainment
Canadian dancehall-pop artiste to release music video
Kirk Diamond - Contributed
Kirk Diamond of award-winning Canadian group, Don Dem, is set to release an Armzhouse records-produced music video before heading to Jamaica for MIA Awards
The five-member group is widely known as a dancehall-pop group in Canada and has performed at several events in the country.
Kirk Diamond, similar to his four group members, has been producing solo projects in recent times.
However, Diamond said the group's has no intention to separate permanently, and is still committed to producing and releasing material under the group label, Don Dem Entertainment.
Diamond's last promotional stint in Jamaica was last summer and the recording artiste hopes his return, will give him the opportunity to reconnect with the Jamaican audience, as well as work with more Jamaican musicians.
Following Kirk Diamond's appearance at the fourth of MIA Awards, on July 10, the group is set to embark on a tour of Europe. They will also perform at UK's One Love Reggae Festival. Group member TG is also executing promotions for a single, Dem Nuh Real. A music video for that effort will also be released in July.
"This summer is definitely going to be busy with Don Dem Entertainment being a label now. We added TG to the roster, making the team stronger than ever, and we are working with various producers who are doing good work we love. Producers like Dreday, Digital Vibes and Armzhouse, as well as some of our own productions. My workload quadrupled but the summer should be great," Diamond said.

Kerala to set up heliports in all districts
The Kerala government Tuesday said it has decided to open heliports in all 14 districts of the state to facilitate tourism.
"We had earlier decided to open feeder airports in districts like Wayanad and Idukki, but faced opposition to it from the local people. Hence we have decided to drop that proposals and instead will open heliports - a facility for the smooth landing and takeoff of helicopters," Ports Minister K. Babu, who oversees the aviation needs of the state, told reporters here.
He said each heliport will come up on 10-acre plots.
"Today air travel has become the order of the day and tourism here is doing well... we feel helicopter taxi services would be good and hence we decided to go forward," said Babu.
Kerala already has three international airports already functioning. With the work agreement having been inked for a fourth one at Kannur and a fifth one proposed at Aranmula having got the environment clearance, there isn't much land left for more airports in a land-deficient state.

Davies Symphony Hall Add to iCalendar
Two close friends of the SFS, Semyon Bychkov and Pinchas Zukerman, join the Orchestra in opening the season. The gorgeous melodies of Bruch's concerto glow in the hands of the gifted Zukerman. If Tchaikovsky didn't invent Russian Romanticism, he surely perfected it. Afraid that he might be "played out" at 48, he soon completed his awesome Fifth Symphony, a work unmatched in charting the journey from the melancholy of desperate longing to the triumph of the spirit.
"Zukerman again seemed the forever-young virtuoso: expressively resourceful, infectiously musical, technically impeccable, effortless. As usual, it was a joy to be in his musical company." —LOS ANGELES TIMES

Pearl Harbor survivors in Oconee remember attack
WALHALLA - Two former U.S. Navy sailors from Oconee County have vivid memories of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that led America into World War II.
Clarence Busch, 94, of Walhalla, and his brother-in-law Paul Greene, 90, of Mountain Rest, have spent years recalling the events to relatives, friends and strangers throughout the area.
"I had been in Honolulu the night before on liberty and planned to sleep late that Sunday morning," Busch said. He was a 24-year-old aircraft mechanic then. "I heard an explosion, jumped up and ran to a window and saw the whole hangar behind our barracks in flames."
Busch said some fellow sailors climbed to the roof of a two-story operations building and started firing anti-aircraft guns.
"I don't know why the Japanese didn't fire on us, but we sure let 'em have it," he said.
"The bombs were hitting our ships and sailors in white uniforms covered in blood were running everywhere," he said. "We were just protected by God, I believe."
Greene was on board the USS Detroit, below the main deck, as the ship was anchored on the opposite side of Ford Island from his brother-in-law Busch. The ship was a 7,050-ton light cruiser aligned with a training ship and a seaplane tender.
The first torpedo fired in the early morning attack hit the cruiser USS Raleigh, which was positioned next to the Detroit. The USS Utah, the training ship, quickly capsized after being hit by two torpedoes and became the first casualty of the attack.
"We were the first ship to fight back," Greene said.
The Detroit's crew fired 422 3-inch rounds and 10,000 rounds from the .50-caliber machine guns. As a result, the crew downed two Japanese Zero bombers, which fell into the waters of Pearl Harbor. The ship was undamaged and was narrowly missed by several aerial torpedoes.
"When the Japanese dropped torpedoes, they went under the ship, which was riding high in the water, and they hit Ford Island," Greene said.
The surprise attack did the most damage to eight battleships anchored in the harbor. Five of the vessels were sunk, three were heavily damaged, and seven others were hit, as were buildings and airfields.
A few minutes before the attack, Greene said, he was below deck writing a letter to his father. His ship had just returned from maneuvers and was low on fuel.
"After the attack, we left Pearl to search for Japanese ships and when we came back into port, we then saw the horror of what happened," he said.
Greene served aboard the Detroit until the end of the war and remained at Ford Island until he returned to the U.S. in 1944.
A year later, the Detroit, which survived six naval battles, was anchored in Tokyo Bay next to the battleship USS Missouri, where Japanese leaders surrendered unconditionally on Sept. 2, 1945.
Both Greene and Busch see their health failing as the years go by, but every day they remember their role in American history.
"Sometimes, it seems like a bad dream," Busch said.
Two other Oconee County Pearl Harbor veterans have died in the last couple of years. Like Greene and Busch, they spent years sharing their accounts with inquiring students, relatives, military and civic audiences.
Jimmy Cooper of Seneca gave the order for his anti-aircraft arsenal to fire on 189 Japanese Zero bombers flying in formation over Diamond Head, Hawaii.
The late Charles "C.H." Nelson Jr., a retired rural mail carrier from Westminster, shared the stories of his eyewitness to history with children and adults alike until his illness confined him to the Richard Campbell Veterans Nursing Home in Anderson County, where he died.
"We are indebted to these brave men who were there on that fateful day and we have appreciated them for many years as they shared their accounts with all us," said Jerry Dyar, Veterans Affairs officer for Oconee County.

The Chicago Transit Authority has awarded a construction-management contract to Parsons Brinckerhoff for a rail replacement and tunnel rehabilitation project on the system's Blue Line subway, which connects the downtown business district with O'Hare International Airport. The $88-million project is one of the first in Chicago to be fully funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. It involves replacement of 31,000 existing wooden half ties with new concrete half ties and 6,200 track feet of stone ballast with new concrete slab and direct fixation fasteners. The project also includes the installation of 29,000 ft of new rail and 44,000 ft of new contact rail. Additionally, two track crossovers will be rebuilt, all lighting and drainage systems along the route will be cleaned and some structural repairs will be performed in the four-mile-long Dearborn Blue Line subway tunnel.

I found this sweet game called, "Fly Guy". The graphics are retro arcade style and the game play is simple. Those two things equal a fun creative game. All you do is fly up higher and higher while avoiding obstacles. Also when you do run in to something everything does something different. Try running onto the UFO, its kind of funny. I keep playing it just to see what everything dose. Someone took a lot of time, making this game, and I am going to take a lot of time playing it.

The Vampire Lovers
Film Scripts
Film Series
Films with Literary Sources
Hammer Films
Los Angeles: American International Pictures, 1969. Final Script for the 1970 Hammer horror film. Possibly the screenwriter's copy, with authorial holograph corrections to dialogue and screen direction throughout, along with tipped-in changes to same.
Based on the 1872 story, "Carmilla," by Sheridan Le Fanu, about a female vampire named Marcilla Karnstein (Pitt) who comes back from death, renamed Mircalla, and spreads havoc. She kills the daughter of General Von Spielsdorf (Cushing), who swears revenge on the beguiling, seductive bloodsucker.
Le Fanu's legendary story of a female vampire was a major influence on Stoker's "Dracula," and was first adapted to the screen by Carl Theodor Dryer as "Vampyr" in 1922. Hammer Productions, having pretty much exhausted the "Dracula" franchise by 1970, turned a corner with this film by introducing a superior script and production values, new elements of eroticism, and of course the angle of the principle vampire being a ravishing female.
Hammer's first co-production with American International (the company largely responsible for most of the Edgar Allen Poe-based films), and the first installment in Hammer's "Carmilla/Mircalla" series, followed by "Lust for a Vampire" (1971) and "Twins of Evil" (1971). Ingrid Pitt would begin a short but successful stay as a sexy vampire with the film, including roles in "The House that Dripped Blood" (1971) and "Countess Dracula" (1971), and she even had a cameo as the librarian in Robin Hardy's 1973 horror classic, "The Wicker Man."
Red studio wrappers, with a die-cut window to the title on the title page. Title page present, with a date of December 15, 1969, a holograph notation of copy No. 18, and a credit for screenwriter Gates. A "rainbow" copy, 120 leaves, mechanically reproduced, with blue, pink, and yellow revision pages throughout, dated variously between January 9, 1970 and February 3, 1970. Pages Near Fine, wrappers Very Good plus with some brief fraying to the left edge of the front wrapper, bound with two gold brads. In a custom quarter-leather clamshell box.

"Liberalism entered the 1960s as the vital force in American politics, riding a wave of accomplishment running from the Progressive era through the New Deal and beyond. A handsome young president, John F. Kennedy, had just been elected on the promise to extend the unfinished agenda of reform. Liberalism owned the future, as Orwell might have said. Yet by the end of the decade, liberal doctrine was in disarray, with some of its central assumptions broken by the experience of the immediately preceding years. It has yet to recover."
"What happened?" That's the question that James Piereson of the Manhattan Institute asked in his 2007 book Camelot and the Cultural Revolution, which was recently republished with a new forward by Encounter Books, to coincide with the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination. Building on his 5,000-word 2006 Commentary article, "Lee Harvey Oswald and the Liberal Crackup," whose opening paragraph we quoted above, Piereson sets out to explore why the 1960s ended on a much darker note than they began, with the American culture in tatters.
As I wrote in 2007, when I first reviewed Piereson's book for Tech Central Station:
It's not primarily an attempt to once again prove that Oswald acted alone, as authors such as Gerald Posner, and most recently, Vincent Bugliosi have demonstrated, to the satisfaction of virtually everyone whose name isn't Oliver Stone. But it is an attempt to explain an incredible transformational shift in American culture, which occurred during the years from 1963 and 1968, particularly in the media and on college campuses.
Even simply looking at photographs, it's obvious that a decade that began with Sinatra and Miles Davis in cool sharkskin suits and ended in the mud of Woodstock had undergone a enormous cultural shift. In 1973, Pat Moynihan looked back on the decade which had recently concluded and said, "Most liberals had ended the 1960s rather ashamed of the beliefs they had held at the beginning of the decade." The attitudes amongst liberal elites changed particularly radically during that decade.
Piereson believes that it was a combination of the news of the days leading up to Kennedy's assassination, Jacqueline Kennedy's desire to have her husband be a Lincolnesque martyr to civil rights, and a fear of upsetting the Soviet Union and Cuba that caused the background of Oswald to be suppressed.
But the actual causes of liberal disorientation regarding Kennedy's death and the motives of his killer predate his assassination by several years. It was during the 1950s and early '60s that that liberal elites declared America's nascent and disparate conservative movements to be a greater threat to the nation than the Soviet Union, as illustrated by films of the day such as Dr. Strangelove and The Manchurian Candidate. And the subtext of those films was very much based upon "a vast literature that developed in the '50s and early '60s about the threat from the far right," Piereson says, specifically mentioning Richard Hofstadter's The Paranoid Style In American Politics, and Daniel Bell's The Radical Right.
A trend that continues to this very day, as seen by the virulent paranoia displayed by the media and the Obama White House over the rise of the Tea Party movement in 2009.
During our interview, Piereson will discuss:
● The cognitive dissonance that occurred when Kennedy's death at the hands of a pro-Castro Communist was recast to make Kennedy a victim of the Civil Rights movement.
● How the Camelot myth became associated with JFK's biography — but only after his death.
● How the nostalgia that Camelot introduced into the "Progressive" movement itself also caused a dangerous element of cognitive dissonance.
● Why the country began to come apart at the seams in the years after Kennedy's death.
● How JFK's death transformed the center-left into a much nastier form of what Piereson calls "Punitive Liberalism."

Bath & Body Works Lambie Slippers Holiday 2012 Review
Yay! Bath & Body Works brought back my beloved Lambie Slippers for Holiday 2012. It's been nearly three years since Bath & Body Works did a Lambie Collection and finally it looks like this year the collection will be making a come back.
In stores right now I've seen a Lambie Sleep Mask, Lambie Slippers, and little Lambie Ornaments but there's been reports of a possible blanket and I've heard some reader's mention plushes.
I picked up two pairs of the slippers since I had a $10 off $30 coupon which. They are $15 each and this brought them down to $10 each. If I'm honest I like paying $10 per pair versus $15 each hehe!
Does anyone actually remember how much the slippers originally cost? I feel like they were in the $20 range….? I know they weren't cheaper than $15.
Either way, I'm just happy they are back!
These are so cute. I nearly forgot how much I missed them. Does anyone remember that they used to have a very odd sole before, kinda cardboard? BBW did away with that! Now they just have a warm fuzzy layer of material as the sole. They are cuddly, very warm, and cute. They even went so far as to print "Count Sheep" on the bottom of the slippers. I don't think they are terribly well made. Shuffling around the house will show wear after a time like any slipper. However, I do think they are a vast improvement on the old pairs which seemed to easily tear and just show major wear after a few short weeks of use.
Overall, they are an absolute must have in my opinion! They come in S, M, and L. I typically fit a small just fine but this time I went to a medium as they seem to run a bit on the small size. They make an excellent gift and I highly suggest snagging at least two pairs for yourself. I have a funny feeling they'll sell out mighty fast.
Love these.
Available now in store and at www.bathandbodyworks.com

These are positively adorable! They are TOO freakin cute, I think I need them. Can I ask what shoe size you wear muse? I've never gotten slippers from BB&W so I'm not sure what size I would be, but I wear a size 6-7 shoe.
10/16/12 11:33 Liz:
thanks so much! you're the best muse!
10/16/12 11:43 Catherine:
I'm actually kind of glad they run small, cause I've always wanted to buy them for little ones… Now maybe they'll fit my 11 year old cousin!
10/16/12 11:46 Moon:
I think the small would fit me then…I wear size 5 1/2. My husband got me lambie one year: A blanket – still sit in the blue box that came with it (I baby it! ha), stuffed lambie and a pair of slippers – they are more like the house socks though and I haven't wore them since it's just too hard on my feet, no soft cushion at the bottom whatsoever! I love lambie and want to get these slippers.
10/16/12 11:26 Cj:
*looks at boy feet with despise* :< I want lammie slippers

Cj, try to try them on in the store before committing to buying them. I wear a 9-9.5 womens (well, I am a woman, but I think it deserves saying here haha) and the L size slippers didn't really fit comfortably even though they said they were for sizes 8-10…my heels were RIGHT on the edge, nearly touching the ground. I ended up returning them the next day *sniffle*.

Hehe, it's so cool that you review a pair of slippers! 😀 They look really cute.

sooo cute and seems comfortable indeed a must have
oh those are just tooo cute!!! I usually wear fuzzy socks around the house (their the easiest to get on) but these would be a definite step up!! I would just hate to get the bottoms dirty

What do the ornaments look like Muse? I don't see them online

Aghh not to sound anal but I think you meant "sole" of the shoe instead of "soul" as shoes and can't have souls… sound the same, different meaning. Lovely review btw.

So exciting! I bought my Lambie sleep mask years ago and have kept it since because it's so great and I can't find it anymore. Guess I'll have to add this to my wishlist!

Bought a navy blue lambie ornament today.The face, ears and feet have gold thread spun into the cream fabric. Costs $3.50 CDN. I was hoping they would bring back the 3 scented lambies in the little coral that you put in your drawers. I missed that the first time around. I also have a lambie ornament from a few years ago that makes snoring sounds when you squeeze it. I keep them on the fridge. zzzzz!

Wow these are so cute! I love the little lambies ^_^ Warm feet for winter are a must.
