York improviser of multiple styles. Emerging as one of the original melodic

He has also written for The Talkhouse, Guitar World, Guitar Player and other publications.

Jews Who Found the Messiah

Learn to Walk in the Supernatural
Can You Solve this Ancient Jewish Riddle?
"Who was it that ascended into heaven, and came down again? Who gathered the wind in his fists? Who bound the waters in a garment? Who set up all the ends of the earth? What is his name [obviously this is God], and what is his son's name, if thou knowest it?" (Proverbs 30:4 in the Jewish Scriptures, emphasis added).
WHO IS THE "SON"?
It's very Jewish to answer a question with a question. The answer to the question, "Who is the Messiah?"is found in this riddle. Another clue is found in the words of the Jewish prophet Isaiah.
CONSIDER HIS WORDS:
"Who could tell, that he was cut away out of the land of life, (that) for the transgressions of my people the plague was laid on him?" (Isaiah 53:8b)
When was this written?
700 B.C.
WHO is speaking through the prophet?
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
WHO is "my people?"
The Jewish people.
WHO is "cut away" (dies)?
The One greater than Moses. (See Deuteronomy 18:18-19).
Could this be Israel or the Jewish people instead of the Messiah?
NO, because the Jewish prophet Isaiah says this One would do "no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth" (Isaiah 53:9b). Also, Psalm 14:3 says "there is none [human] that doth good, no, not even one."
When would this One come?
Daniel says the Anointed One (Messiah) would come and die for our sins before the Second Temple was destroyed. It was destroyed in A.D. 70. (See Daniel 9:24-26).
THE PROPHET ISAIAH HAS THE ANSWER!
When I read the 53rd chapter of Isaiah to my Orthodox Jewish father, he accused me of reading from the New Testament! He said it described Jesus perfectly! But I replied, "Dad, I'm reading from the Jewish Scriptures."
READ ISAIAH 53 AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.
"Who would have believed our report? And the arm of the Lord — over whom hath it been revealed?
"Yea, he grew up like a small shoot before him, and as a root out of dry land; he had no form nor comeliness, so that we should look at him; and no countenance, so that we should desire him.
"He was despised and shunned by men; a man of pains, and acquainted with disease; and as one who hid his face from us was he despised, and we esteemed him not.
"But only our diseases did he bear himself, and our pains he carried: while we indeed esteemed him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
"Yet he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement for our peace was upon him; and through his bruises was healing granted to us.
"We all like sheep went astray; every one to his own way did we turn; and the Lord let befall him the guilt of us all.
"He was oppressed, and he was also taunted, yet he opened not his mouth; like the lamb which is led to the slaughter, and like a ewe before her shearers is dumb; and he opened not his mouth.
"Through oppression and through judicial punishment was he taken away; but his generation — who could tell, that he was cut away out of the land of life, (that) for the transgressions of my people the plague was laid on him?
"And he let his grave be made with the wicked, and with the (godless) rich at his death; although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
"But the Lord was pleased to crush him through disease: when (now) his soul hath brought the trespass-offering, then shall he see (his) seed, live many days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
"(Freed) from the trouble of his soul shall he see (the good) and be satisfied: through his knowledge shall my righteous servant bring the many to righteousness, while he will bear their iniquities.
"Therefore will I divide him (a portion) with the many, and with the strong shall he divide the spoil; because he poured out his soul unto death, and with transgressors was he numbered: while he bore the sin of many, and for the transgressors he let (evil) befall him."
Who bore our sins and diseases?
Obviously our prophets are
speaking about Jesus!
Shalom and Love!
(All Scripture quoted from Twenty-four Books of the Holy Scriptures, carefully translated after the best Jewish authorities by Isaac Leeser, Hebrew Publishing Company, New York.)

Locked Out: A Century of Irish Working-Class Life
August 20, 2013 by Donal
Image cover: Irish Academic Press
I'm very pleased to announce that Locked Out: A Century of Irish Working-Class Life is about to be released by Irish Academic Press. Edited by David Convery, a historian and friend of Come Here To Me, it is a collection of chapters looking at the lives of working class people in Ireland in the last hundred years. I have contributed a chapter to the book looking at the rather infamous 'Animal Gangs' of the 1930s, a product of inner-city Dublin who emerged from a newspaper strike in 1934 but whose name became synonymous with gang violence in the city for generations. Other chapters look at things like the beautiful game, the NSPCC, class and gender, and one chapter even has reference to Tallafornia in it. It's the one I'm most eager to read. The full list of chapters and more information is here. The book aims to remain affordable (sadly so often not the case with academic titles) and should be in all good bookshops very soon, in fact as early as next week.
In 1913, a titanic battle gripped the city of Dublin that polarised Irish society. The Irish Transport and General Workers' Union, led by Jim Larkin, took on the might of one of the biggest Irish capitalists of the day, William Martin Murphy. What began as a strike over union recognition in Murphy's Dublin United Tramway Company quickly escalated, as Murphy, backed by the state and the Dublin Employers' Federation, declared all-out war on the trade union movement. Despite tremendous efforts, the workers went down to a bitter defeat. Historians and other commentators have tended to view the 1913 Lockout as a tragic, but unique case in Irish history. However, its uniqueness lies mainly in its scale. The working class continued to exist after 1913. It continued to develop its own organisations, its own cultural and leisure activities, its own forms of self-representation and identity. It also continued to engage in strike action and other forms of protest against the employers and ruling establishment. Yet the study of an independent working class has been neglected in favour of an all-embracing focus on nationalism in politics, culture and wider society. That class, rather than ethnicity, religion, or the idea of national identity could have a role to play in politics and cultural production is an alien one to mainstream Irish debate. The working class has been locked out of history.

Both Left and the Congress questioned why it took so "long" for the police to place the charge sheet and why it "failed" to get evidence against the two who were acquitted by the court.
Evidence in the case would commence from September 18,the judge directed.
Solar power has come to the rescue of terrorised womenfolk in Kamduni village on the outskirts of Kolkata who had stopped going out of their houses after dusk after a 20-year-old girl was brutally gangraped and killed.


Firstly I must disclaim that this is not in fact Celine's latest ad campaign even though it really looks like it could be haha. Jokes aside It goes without saying that this is my favourite look to date probably because it bears similarity to The row's A/W 15 show which is my favourite collection EVER! I am a huge believer in the church of flares so when I laid my eyes upon this this 70's inspired pair that my friend picked out (s/o to my girl Esther) I was very excited to say the least. I wore this look to my first ever interview for a fashion job so it's only right that I felt like the editor in chief of Vogue as I strutted through London. You know an outfit's good when it gives you the confidence of Schulman herself.
Happy New Year!!! It's 2017 woo! I'm hoping you've all had an amazing festive period.
In my first look of the year I'm sporting a suupeer cute look that I have been obsessed with! Since posting this look on my Instagram story (@grandykat) I've been been having questions on where I got the top from. I literally burst out laughing when I first got asked because it's simply button up white shirt (this one in particular I used to wear as school uniform!!).
But the trick is you simply button it off the shoulder, (just like when Queen herself Rhianna did it), then you gather the bottom half of your shirt and wrap it through the neck line till its secure Ta'da. Just like that, remember you heard it from me first ha!
Now I'm sure you've already read enough soppy New year related jargon to keep you going till our earth orbits the sun again, so let me not dribble on but I do want to wish you all an incredible 2017 and to thank everyone who continuously clicks on my link and appreciates what I do to any capacity. You're all amazing God bless you all.

Harry and Meghan interview: Buckingham Palace says royal family is 'saddened'
By CNN For Citizen Digital Published on: March 10, 2021 08:00 (EAT)
Buckingham Palace broke its silence Tuesday evening over Harry and Meghan's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, saying in a statement on behalf of the Queen that allegations of racism made by the Sussexes were concerning and being "taken very seriously."
"The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan," the statement reads.
"The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately."
The statement adds: "Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members." The Sussexes do not plan to comment on the Tuesday statement, a spokesperson told CNN.
Buckingham Palace's response comes more than 36 hours after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a series of damning accusations in their first sit-down interview since stepping back from life as senior royals and moving to the US last year.
The interview plunged the royal household into a crisis. Some of the claims — including the allegations of racism and Meghan's admission that she felt suicidal during her first pregnancy — have the potential to deeply impact the royal family's reputation and have left a cloud of suspicion over some of its members.
The family waited to respond until the interview had aired in the UK, to allow viewers in the country to watch it first, a royal source told CNN.
The source added that it was important for Buckingham Palace to carefully consider their response before issuing the statement.
During the interview Harry and Meghan cited a lack of support over invasive press coverage and the royal institution's decision not to give their son Archie a title — and with it his eligibility for protection — as the basis for their decision to relocate from the UK.
The royal source told CNN that at the heart of a matter was a family, which should be given the opportunity to address these issues privately.
The source also suggested that a conversation between the royal family and Meghan and Harry should have taken place privately to address the issues raised by the couple instead of in a broadcast interview.
Diversity, equality, inclusion and mental health are important issues and highlighting that has formed part of the work of members of the family for many years, the source added.
The statement on behalf of the Queen made no mention of an investigation into Harry and Meghan's allegations.
Last week, however, the palace promised an investigation after a UK newspaper published allegations that Meghan had bullied several staff members — a report dismissed by the Sussexes as "a calculated smear campaign."
Prince Charles appeared in public earlier on Tuesday for the first time since the seismic interview and did not respond to a question on the furor surrounding his family.
"Sir, what did you think of the interview?" an off-camera journalist asked Harry's father and the heir to the British throne, as he visited a Covid-19 vaccination center in London.
Harry told Winfrey that his father had briefly stopped taking his calls after the couple announced they were stepping back from the royal family last January. However, the Duke added that repairing the relationship in time will be "one of my priorities."
He also suggested that his relationship with his brother, Prince William, had taken a hit, saying "the relationship is space, at the moment."
Harry and Meghan also discussed their new life in California with Winfrey. The couple are expecting their second child, a girl, this summer.


War Thunder, previously known as World of Planes, is a free-to-play MMORPG from Gaijin Entertainment based on World War II-era battles. Players can take to the skies in a huge variety of planes or engage in land and sea battles with armored vehicles and fleets. The game features PvE and PvP content, richly detailed military planes, tanks, and ships, and a host of locations and historical battles to fight in.
Detail and Variety | Pick from hundreds of planes with richly detailed cockpits, upgradeable weapons, and improvable flying skills, as well as tanks and ships.
Several Nations | Choose planes from a number of countries including Australia, Germany, Japan, Italy, and the UK, USA, and USSR.
PvE Content | Engage in campaigns, single-player missions, and both solo and co-op gameplay, or utilize the mission editor.
Player vs. Player | Battle with other players and participate in full-scale PvP combat missions.
War Thunder has been updated to v1.87 "Locked On" that brings a number of big changes and new content into the game. Players can look forward to Rank VII Ground Forces, advanced Supersonic jets, French Helicopters, new cruisers and new naval / ground battle locations across the Coral Islands. Lastly, Encounter missions will take place on Norway, Mediterranean port and Black Sea port maps.
When v1.87 goes live in War Thunder, players will be able to take the fight to the new "Alaska" map. Alaska is considered a "rural" map, though it does involve taking a small town and its outskirts to complete. "Players will battle for control over a small Alaskan town and its immediate surroundings, fighting on wide city streets between skyscrapers in one engagement and dense evergreen forests in another," the blog reads.
When the 1.85 update launches into War Thunder, players will have new aircraft to play with thanks to the arrival of supersonic jets. These new aircraft come along at Rank VI with air-to-air guided missiles, a totally new type of armament in the game".
Gaijin Entertainment has announced that Italian military forces will be recruited into War Thunder with the v1.85 update currently slated for deployment in December. This includes "dozens of Italian ground vehicles" that will help reinforce the Italian Air Force that is already present in the game.

As Hong Kong protests escalate, USC finds alternate study abroad programs
USC has not formally suspended its Hong Kong program in the spring, but said they are monitoring the situation for students' safety

By: Ngai Yeung
As the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong grew increasingly violent over the past week, international exchange students are leaving the city. In response, USC is making changes to its study abroad programs there.
The protests began in June in opposition to the proposed extradition bill that would allow fugitives to be sent back to mainland China. Though the bill has since been withdrawn, the demonstrations have developed into a broader anti-government movement. Protestors are demanding universal suffrage and an independent commission of inquiry into alleged police brutality.
Clashes between protestors and police have escalated in intensity and grown more frequent, with a new turning point last week.
The protests entered a new stage of turmoil after a student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology fell to his death. The cause of his death remains unclear, and while protestors have alleged that the police are responsible, the police have denied having anything to do with the death.
The death triggered a new wave of protests, including a two-day standoff between students and police at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Police fired more than a thousand rounds of tear gas and rubber bullets and protestors threw molotov cocktails. This prompted CUHK to announce on Nov. 13 it would suspend classes for the rest of the semester, and almost all other universities in Hong Kong soon followed. With classes suspended, students have begun to return home both locally and abroad.
Trevor Goldsmith, who studied at USC last year is a second-year student in the World Bachelor of Business program and among those who have left Hong Kong. He is now back home in the States. Students in WBB spend their second year at HKUST after a first year at USC.
While the protests were previously only minor traffic disruptions to Goldsmith, the situation has since rapidly gotten worse.
"Now that school is cancelled it hella disrupts our lives," he said, explaining that even as he does classes online there hasn't been any talk of reimbursement. Goldsmith said that there can't be a program without a school and he feels "angry, disappointed and scared" about the whole situation.
Exchange student from CUHK Kathy Chan feels the same way. A senior currently studying communication at USC, Chan feels distressed by the escalation of the protests, especially during the siege at her alma mater. "It's especially heartbreaking for me because I'm overseas as my friends and classmates get arrested so I can't be there to support them in person," Chan said in an interview in Cantonese.
USC's study abroad offices have been working hard to offer support overseas. Sean O'Connell, manager of the Marshall School of Business' undergraduate international programs, assures that the office has been actively monitoring the situation. O'Connell said that while some WBB students at HKUST, such as Goldsmith, are choosing to fly home. Others are choosing to stay in Hong Kong or are traveling in the area while doing work online.
"There are some parents and students extremely concerned about the situation, and so those students most likely are going to be going back home," O'Connell said, but adds that the opposite is true as well. "There are students who are excited to be in this situation and by that I don't mean the violence or other things like that, but rather with seeing a world historical event occurring right before their eyes."
Though some of these students stay in university housing off campus, others stay in residential halls on campus and have had tear gas go into their units. To help students feel safe, HKUST has announced that it would pay for any students to move to a hotel away from possible harm.
O'Connell said that the WBB program will, at the moment, remain in Hong Kong. "The classes for spring begin in February… the belief is that the situation occurring in Hong Kong right now will have dissipated by then," O'Connell said. If that doesn't happen, the WBB program will see what HKUST's decision is and decide how they should proceed, such as taking online classes or having HKUST faculty teach at USC.
Marshall also has not announced any formal end to their programs in Hong Kong, but has offered students alternative trips. At least two students are opting to continue with the program next term, according to O'Connell. "They still want to pursue their exchange program in Hong Kong so we will honor that," he said, adding that the students had to fill out paperwork and meet with advisors to discuss the risks involved.
For Annenberg's spring semester at CUHK, students who have applied will go on alternate trips or stay at USC. "The situation could change, protests could die down and society could maybe go back to normal, but at this point in time we want to give students the opportunity to choose a place to study abroad where we can ensure their safety, security and quality of experience," said Katy Kelly, associate director of Annenberg International Programs.
Mara Lorin, a junior majoring in communications who originally signed up for a spring semester in Hong Kong is one of those affected. Lorin said she is disappointed and was looking forward to the food and culture of the international city.
Instead, Lorin will be studying in Sydney, Australia next term, but said that she would have gone to Hong Kong if Annenberg had not intervened. "I think a lot of what the media promotes is … just the 2% of bad that is really happening," she said. "They magnify that, and the situation on the ground isn't as bad as the media makes it appear."
Chan, the exchange student from CUHK, said that while nobody can predict what the situation will be at the start of the spring semester, she is cautiously optimistic. "I really hope that Hong Kong will still be a safe place," she said.
Ngai is a freshman at USC double majoring in journalism and international relations and the global economy (IRGE). She writes for the Global City desk and is interested in covering international affairs with a focus on China and Hong Kong.

All Naval aviators dream about having a minor problem that causes them to have to extend a trip at a good liberty spot. Some say (I don't believe this) that they would taxi out on one magneto hoping to get a greater than allowed RPM drop during the magneto check. Thus requiring a longer stay at a great liberty port like North Island Naval Air Station. This is a story about an extreme case of an extended trip.
When it came close to the time when the staff was preparing to move from the Sally to the Currituck the decision was made to make a trip to replenish the ship's store from the Navy Exchange at Atsugi, Japan. To accomplish this we would use the HU-16 Albatross to fly there from Naha, Okinawa, and return with the supplies the next day. I was to fly copilot for LCDR Chuck Cornett, who was the Sally's navigator.
Upon landing at Atsugi, the propellers were put in reverse and a prop boot came off. A prop boot is a rubber device on the leading edge of a propeller supplying electrical power, thus heat, to remove ice in freezing weather. As a result of losing the boot the plane was unsafe to fly, so the propeller had to be changed before we could fly it.
As luck would have it the Currituck was in port at Yokosuka, and had a spare prop in supply. The prop was sent to us, and changed the next day. As was required after a major component change we had to fly a test flight with minimum crew before we could carry our passengers and cargo back to Okinawa.
On takeoff as we were climbing out the new prop went into overspeed and had to be feathered. We made an uneventful single engine landing but we had a bigger problem. An overspeed meant that we not only had a prop problem, but we needed to change the whole engine. This caused a major scheduling problem for the ship because it was scheduled to leave for Sasebo, and LCDR Cornett had to be aboard as navigator when the ship moved.
Arrangements were made for a P3 from one of the patrol squadrons to take LCDR Cornett and the other passengers, including Supply Officer LT Weaver, back to Okinawa along with the supplies. I was to stay with the flight crew until we could get another engine and I would get orders as to our next move. A partial list of the crew that I can remember who were with me were AD2 Richard Packard and AT2 Mark Ayer. After all these years I cannot remember the others.
There was a great deal of trouble with the new engine and its prop. For days the propeller RPM could not be controlled. Packard and crew could not figure out what the problem was. While walking around the base, I ran into a CPO Smith who had worked for me when I was the Power Plants Officer of a training squadron in Corpus Christi, Texas. I explained the problem to him, and he immediately told me we had a seal installed backward and it needed to be changed. I asked him to explain the problem to Packard. Smith declined, saying he did not want to embarrass Packard. Instead, Chief Smith suggested I tell Packard and crew to take a day off and come back and approach the problem with a fresh outlook.
I did as the chief suggested telling the crew to take a day off, visit Tokyo and attack the problem the next day. While the crew was gone Chief Smith took the dome off, reversed the seal and had the prop operating normally. The crew returned the next day and the problem had disappeared.
During this period the Sally had moved from Buckner Bay to Sasebo, Japan, for liberty before returning to Buckner Bay. I was given orders to take the plane to Cam Rahn Bay, Viet Nam, and turn it over to the USS Currituck. In the meantime, a copilot and navigator from the Sally had arrived. A successful test flight was flown, and preparations were made to fly to Cam Rahn Bay via Naha, Okinawa, and Sangley Point in the Philippines.
On the day of departure, the weather briefing indicated there was a typhoon in the South China Sea, but that it was moving toward mainland China and should not be a problem. During the transit to Naha between Iwakuni, Japan, and Naha we lost HF communications and could not talk to the controllers, as we were out of range of UHF and VHF radios. In compliance with lost communications procedures, we continued on to our destination, Naha.
When we established UHF communications with Okinawa control we were informed that Okinawa was in Typhoon Emergency Condition 1 with the typhoon expected to hit in the very near future. Their words were "What the hell are you doing here? Return to Japan." I explained that I had lost communications and at that point I did not have the fuel to return to Iwakuni and had to land somewhere in Okinawa. They gave me the winds at Naha and Kadena AFB. Both were barely in limits of the HU-16 for a cross wind landing.
I opted for Naha and made a cross wind landing. It was a very touchy landing but I got it down safely. We were directed to an open hanger where we taxied in and they closed the doors behind us. We spent the next two days in the BOQ/BEQ riding out a typhoon.
With good weather we pressed on to NAS Sangley Point. When flying over Miyako-jima, an island South of Okinawa, we received a weather briefing. I ask how bad the typhoon had been when it passed over them. I was told the wind was approaching 200 MPH when the roof left the building along with the wind gauge. I thought how lucky we were being able to get on the ground in Naha not having to fly through something like that.
On landing at Sangley Point we were told there were thunderstorms in the forecast. I instructed the crew to double tie down the plane so it would not be blown away in the wind. I also told them I would be visiting a good friend of mine for drinks and a very nice dinner at the O Club and there would be a good chance I would not be able to pass a breathalyzer test by the end of the evening.
After a few martinis and a good start on a pepper steak washed down with a good red wine the Station Officer of the Day called me at the club. He told me I should come down to the ramp and look at my airplane. I told him I wanted nothing to do with that airplane until the next day when I departed for Cam Rahn Bay. He insisted that I come to the ramp immediately without any further explanation.
On arrival at the ramp, standing in a couple of inches of water from the thunderstorm, I viewed a real mess. A C-47 from Da Nang was in a nose dock for an engine change, not tied down, and had blown into my HU-16. It knocked the port float and the left elevator off the plane.
We were lucky that there was an HU-16 on a barge at NAS Cubi Point that was being readied for transport to overhaul. They cannibalized the left float and left elevator off the plane and air shipped them to Sangley for installation on my plane. After another two days installing the parts, the plane was again ready for a test flight.
After takeoff on the test flight I raised the landing gear handle and the main mounts came up but the nose wheel stayed down. On inspection we found that the nose wheel hydraulic actuating cylinder had broken off at the nose wheel strut. The over center lock had not been disturbed, so to our great relief, it did not collapse on landing.
Once again, we needed a part. As luck would have it, the Coast Guard had a spare nose wheel strut for their HU-16 and we were able to acquisition it. After another day, and another test flight, we were able to depart for Cam Rahn Bay and the Currituck.
The only uneventful stop in this odyssey was at Cam Rahn Bay. The plane was turned over with no fanfare and we were ready to return to the Sally, which was anchored in Buckner Bay. We managed to catch a ride on a P3 from one of the squadrons there and be deposited at Naha.
By this time I had a new copilot, LT Bloh, my roommate on the Sally. A vehicle from the ship was waiting to transport us to Buckner Bay. On arrival at the pier, the only boat was the Captain's Gig. We were told that it was there to transport us to the ship. I couldn't imagine what was going on. It is very, very unusual--almost unheard of--for anyone to ride in the Captain's Gig without the Captain being present.
After 17 days away, the Sally never looked better. As the gig approached the ship, it made for the forward accommodation ladder. Again, I couldn't figure out what was going on, because only senior officers use the forward ladder. As the gig made the ladder I stepped back, waiting for LT Bloh, who was a bit senior to me, to precede me up the ladder. (Navy custom dictates that seniors depart last and arrive first.) LT Bloh demurred, and motioned for me to go first.
As I reached the quarterdeck, there to my amazement stood 12 grinning officers standing at attention, acting as side boys. I was ceremoniously piped aboard, whereupon the XO handed me a check-in sheet as if I was just coming aboard for the first time. Very funny, guys.
Like all pilots, I used to sometimes wish for a minor mechanical problem that would extend my trip to a good liberty spot, but my overnight trip to Atsugi turned into a 17 day adventure without any help from me. All it took was a defective prop, a new engine, and a typhoon. Seventeen days, three copilots and two navigators later, it culminated in a ride in the Captain's Gig, and being "piped" back aboard the Sally with a red face. Be careful what you wish for-you may get it.
CAPT Marian Bruce started flight training as a Naval Aviation Cadet on July 28, 1957. He was commissioned as an Ensign on December 19, 1958 and designated a Naval Aviator on December 24, an event he likes to think of as an early Christmas present. He held several jobs in VP-46 from 1959 - 1963 and served with VT-31 from 1963 - 1966 as a Flight Instructor, Power Plants Division, and as Personnel Officer.
He served aboard USS Salisbury Sound (AV-13) from 1966 - 1967 as CIC Officer and Aircraft Commander for the HU-16, and later as Operations Officer for decommissioning the ship. After the Sally, he served on the staff of Commander Cruiser Destroyer Flotilla Two from 1967 - 1968 as ASW Air Operations Officer. From 1968 - 1977 he held various jobs with VP-28, VP-22, VP-66, and NAS Patuxent River Maryland, including Officer in Charge - Patrol Plane Commander.
He served with the Bureau of Naval Personnel from 1977 - 1980 as Mobilization Plans Officer, and on the staff of the Chief of Naval Operations (Manpower Mobilization Plans and Policy) from 1980 - 1983.
On 1 August 1983 he retired as a Captain. In his words, "And they paid me to spend 10,000 hours in the air! Not a bad life."
After retiring from the Navy, he attended the University of New Mexico from 1983 - 1988 where he received his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Business Administration. He worked in the private sector as a Human Resources Manager from 1990 - 1997.
Since retiring from the business world, he stays out of trouble by serving as a Board Member and Chairman of the Board of the Prostate Cancer Support Association of New Mexico, and as a Board Member and Secretary of the USS Salisbury Sound Association.

Presiding Bishop Accepts Renunciation by Gay Bishop
(ENS, New York---January 19) In a surprising development on the eve of the presidential inauguration ceremonies in Washington, D.C., the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, the Most Reverend Katharine Jefferts Schori, announced that after consultation with her Advisory Council, she had decided to accept the renunciation recently made of his religion by the Right Reverend V. Gene Robinson, formerly a bishop of the Episcopal Church. In accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of Canon 12, Title III of the Canons of the Episcopal Church, she signed a certificate attesting that Bishop Robinson "is released from the obligations of all Ministerial offices, and is deprived of the right to exercise the gifts and spiritual authority as a Minister of God's Word and Sacraments conferred in Ordinations."
When asked how Bishop Robinson had communicated his renunciation to her, Bishop Jefferts Schori cited a statement he had given to the New York Times on January 12, in which he was reported as saying that he was "horrified" at how "specifically and aggressively Christian" the prayers used by Episcopalians at past inaugurals were, and that he was determined that the nation should not be led in "Christian prayer". "Ever since the recent case of Bishop Iker," said the Presiding Bishop, "we have agreed that statements to the press are the same as statements to this Office."
Asked whether Bishop Robinson's statement had been sufficiently explicit a renunciation for purposes of the Canon, Bishop Jefferts Schori pointed out that he had also delivered a non-Episcopal prayer in front of many thousands of witnesses. She said that in front of that many people, he invoked "the God of many understandings." "While Gene obviously feels that is his God, a 'God of many understandings' cannot serve as the Episcopalians' God," she clarified. "That would be an awfully small box in which to put the God that we acknowledge."
Bishop Jefferts Schori also added that at the request of her Advisory Council, she had waited until Bishop Robinson had actually gone ahead with his prayer before signing the certificate of renunciation. "Although those of us watching the ceremonies did not see the prayer, and those in the crowd could not hear what he said, we understand that Gene in fact did invoke his God in front of all those people, and he also did not say or do anything to identify himself as still a Bishop in the Episcopal Church. Besides, as I understand it, he and his supporters made such a complaint about not being seen or heard that they managed to get the Inaugural Committee to put pressure on HBO to rebroadcast his prayer tomorrow before the inauguration itself. So that just clinched it for us," she concluded.
Asked if the deposition of Bishop Robinson was intended to ease her anticipated difficulties at the upcoming Primates' Meeting in February, Bishop Jefferts Schori responded: "No comment."
The Office of the Presiding Bishop made available a copy of the certificate of deposition, which may be viewed here.
(UPDATE 01/19/2009: ENS is informed by the Office of the Presiding Bishop that the previous link is to a certificate used in the parallel case of another former Episcopal bishop, and that the original of Bishop Robinson's certificate will be made available as soon as it has been manufactured Photoshopped adapted. Until then, they ask that we make do.)

In a separate development, security cameras have recorded a strange oven mitt clothed person holding a disconnected microphone cable near the Lincoln Memorial this past Saturday. Anyone with information about this person of interest, please report to...
Hey! Who cut me....
Alice C. Linsley Monday, January 19, 2009 at 8:03:00 PM PST
This is terrific! You made my day.
Kendall Harmon's blog has the text of Cardinal Cushing's Inagural prayer which everyone actually heard.
After whining about not being chosen to speak, Obama chose him, but when he spoke he wasn't heard. You have to love it!
Gene can't complain. He got to stand in the limelight and issue a press release and that's all he cares about.
Rick Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 5:00:00 AM PST
Alas, it would certainly seem the sauce for the goose is not necessarily the sauce for the gander. Unless, of course, 815 wants it to be. Infallibility, you know.
Fr. Daniel Weir Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 7:25:00 AM PST
Thank you for reminding me that deadly serious is deadly.
I didn't hear but the Bishop's prayer. It was good and I'm sorry that HBO didn't include it in the telecast.
A second comment about Al;ice Linsley comment.
You don't know Bp Robinson and you probably don't have the foggiest idea about "all he cares about." His concerns about Pastor Warren's selection were about how that would be seen by LGBT Americans, given Pastor Warren's public statements about same-sex relationships, not whining that he wasn't picked. Having known Gene Robinson for more than thirty years, I am sure that he never had any thought that he might be chosen to deliver the invocation at the Inauguration.
I did not read any reports about the Bishop's comments about Christian prayers. Many of us have concerns that at events such as the Inauguration prayer ought to be as reflective as possible of the religious diversity of our nation. If that was the Bishop's concern, I applaud him for saying it.
Fr. Daniel Weir Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 2:13:00 PM PST
I would note that until the very end, Pastor Rick Warren's prayer was not overtly Christian and that Dr. Lowery's prayer was one to which people of many different religious traditions could respond with Amen.
BTW, I do find that personal attacks on people who are not part of the conversation are not at all helpful. I don't mind what folks may say here about me, but personal attacks on others are, IMV, out of line.
A. S. Haley Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 6:00:00 PM PST
Father Weir, every now and then I cannot resist the temptation to poke a little fun at the inconsistency and double standards of the liberals who currently run our Church. This post was such an occasion. Bishop Jefferts Schori invited it by her outrageous treatment of a simple press release by Bishop Iker as a "renunciation of his orders", when all he had done was state the juridically accurate and obvious fact that the Presiding Bishop had no jurisdiction over him---"never had, and never will." (The Presiding Bishop has no metropolitan powers over other diocesan bishops, so his statement that she had "no jurisdiction" over him personally was canonically proper and correct.)
She chose, along with her Advisory Committee, to treat that simple assertion of fact as a "renunciation." I pointed out in this post that she might as well have treated Bishop Robinson's statements to the press---in which he seemed ashamed of the "aggressiveness" of his own religion, and appeared apologetic for being an Episcopalian---as a "renunciation," too. The statements have an equivalent "truth" value as renunciations.
Satire is a form of personal attack on the person(s) being satirized---it goes with the genre. When our elected leaders make such examples of themselves in public, and embarrass those of us who simply fill the pews, satire is one of the few avenues left to us to register our polite protest of the inanities which they commit, and utter, in our name.
Alice Linsley can easily defend herself, but her comments on Bishop Robinson were completely in line with the satirical nature of the post. If you will take the time to read this analysis of Bishop Robinson's protest when he was not invited to Lambeth 2008, you will see that he in fact does have a (rather objectionable) tendency to dwell on his own personal reactions to how he is treated by others. While I do not doubt that your own personal relationship with the man may (actually---must, for you to have kept it up for so long) be on another level entirely, those of us who know him only by what he utters in public can go only by the frequency with which he invokes the personal pronoun.
I personally object in the strongest terms to having such an egoistical representation of the faith in which I grew up be selected as our Church's public persona. It sends precisely the wrong message when a bishop of our Church cannot even bring himself to witness to his faith before the nation, when he has its attention. Regardless of what kind of pastor he may be personally, I consider him to be the worst kind of spokesperson for our Church, because he constantly makes the rest of us ashamed that he, of all people, is our public face.
I will not say any more, because I do not want to lose the good humor I was in when I started this comment. Please realize that your earliest comment was the fittest in response to the post, and that as you took things more and more seriously, you disregarded your own sage advice.
A message to Barth, because you do not have a listed email: I have to reject your comment---it is too ad hominem, and so traverses my rules. Please see my previous comment, if that helps.

I concur that Alice can (and surely does) speak for herself and provide her own rebuttal. I must say, though, Daniel, that your "I would note.." continuing thought comment is really not germaine. Having been hooked by your comment, however, I must say that you have noted incorrectly re: the first instance of any "overt" Christian reference in Warren's prayer; and the Pavlovian response that almost any US citizen has these days to the versicle, "And all God's people say (or 'said')..." will get the response "Amen" without any indication whatsoever that the preceding prayer was even heard or understood by anybody. Lowery brought good-natured closure to his prayer/address by making use of the technique.
Whether any of the prayers sounded Christian is not the point here.
The point is that Gene - well before the prayer was uttered - made it clear by saying publicly when the opportunity arose that he was going to avoid providing an overtly and overly aggressive "Christian" prayer.
But Gene made a bigger mistake than trying to sensitive by voiding a prayer of its Christian authority. In this venue, it was not the invokers' assignment to provide an amorphous prayer, overly cautious of not offending the religious diversity of the citizens of our nation. That was Obama's job. This was Obama's umbrella, not Gene's. And in order for Obama to do his job and make his point (as most Inaugurees have tried to do, at least from the late 1950's) that such diversity exists, and that they can all be on the same national stage together, he must prove the diversity exists by picking people to represent their own distinctiveness and then expect that they will proclaim it. Gene was picked because Obama's staff and Feinstein's organizing staff could get two birds (distinctions) with one stone. Nevertheless, Gene undermined Obama's vision by stating that he would not provide a prayer that proclaimed his own distinctive faith in Jesus Christ. If Pres Obama had wanted to ask a Unitarian/Universalist to provide the invocation, he would have asked one. But he asked Gene, and Gene should have offered a prayer (without the blather) as all Episcopalians are trained to do by praying their way through Prayer Book - in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
I can be as sensitive as I need to be given the request to pray over a variety of secular and pseudo-sacred events and gatherings. And it might just be quite the lovely, well-thought out invocation or benediction. But if I don't identify the authority by Whom I pray, and to Whom I direct my prayer, then I really haven't identified myself or why I was in particular asked to pray in the first place. And no Glory has gone to my God, even more important.
Nope. This was EXACTLY the moment, given the invitation, by whom and to whom and for whom, to invoke the Name of Him through whom all was made. I'm sure he thought he was helping out, and I'm sure he had no intention of unarticulating Pres Obama's vision of being the President of and to every one no matter who they are or what they believe. But that is what he did, and that's why the need to bring it to his attention. "Don't be what you aren't", Gene, be the Christian; proclaim the Name. That's why they gave you the microphone.

I apprciate satire, but I am aware that there can be a pont when a line is crossed. I think that Alice Linsley crossed that line, just as I think SNL crossed that line when Tina Fey, as Sarah Palin, said that marriage was a sacred bond between two unwilling teen-agers. While I did not vote for Gov. Plain, I thought that she was right in objecting to satire that focused on her family. In the case of Alice Linsley's comments, I thought that there was nothing satirical about them. I did find your piece very funny, even though I don't agree with your assumption that Bp Iker's statement about the PB's authority was correct. She has the canonical authority to inhibit and that she did. Is it unreasonable to assume that Bp Iker's refusal to recongize that authority might be a renuciation of the discipline of the Episcopal Church?
I think that we may have crossed the line into the arena of beating a dead horse, so I will leave it at that. We diagree.
