Nextel Communications, Inc. was a wireless service operator that merged with and continues to exist as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprint Corporation. Nextel in Brazil, and formerly in Argentina, Chile, Peru, the Philippines, and Mexico,[3] is part of NII Holdings, a stand-alone, publicly traded company that is not owned by Sprint Corporation.
Nextel Communications traces its roots to the 1987 foundation of FleetCall by Morgan O'Brien, Brian McAuley, Chris Rogers, and Peter Reinheimer. FleetCall changed its name to Nextel Communications, Inc. in 1993. Nextel provided digital, wireless communications services, originally focusing on fleet and dispatch customers, but later marketed to all potential wireless customers. Nextel's network operated in the 800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio band and used iDEN technology developed by Motorola. Nextel's iDen network offered a then unique push-to-talk "walkie-talkie" feature in addition to direct dialed voice calls. Nextel was one of the first providers in the United States to offer a national digital cellular coverage footprint.
Prior to merging with Sprint Corporation in 2005, Nextel Communications, Inc. was a publicly traded company. Shares traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol NXTL. Nextel was headquartered in Reston, Virginia, United States.[2]
At the time of its 2005 merger with Sprint Corp., Nextel had over twenty million subscribers in the United States, and served 198 of the top 200 markets. Nextel Communications, Inc. offered post paid services under the Nextel brand and prepaid services under the Boost Mobile brand.
In late 2010, Sprint Nextel announced plans to decommission the Nextel iDEN network; on May 30, 2012, Sprint Nextel announced that it would shut down the Nextel network as early as June 2013.[4] The Nextel network was officially shut down at 12:01am on June 30, 2013 and Sprint is currently deploying LTE equipment on the 800 MHz spectrum formerly used by the iDEN network.
Sprint Corporation continues to offer pre-paid services under the Boost Mobile brand and also offers push-to-talk services as Sprint Direct Connect using CDMA equipment.
Telecommunication lawyers Morgan O'Brien and Chris Rogers and investment bankers Brian McAuley and Peter Reinheimer founded FleetCall in 1987.[5] FleetCall changed its name to Nextel Communications in 1993. In 1995, wireless industry pioneer Craig McCaw became a significant investor in the company. Other early investors include Mark Warner, now a United States Senator from Virginia, and Jack Markell, the current Governor of Delaware.
The founders choose the name "FleetCall" because the company's network used the 800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio frequencies designated by the Federal Communications Commission for use in fleet dispatch. The core of the business model was to buy these fleet dispatch frequencies from existing operators at a substantial discount when compared to the cost for equivalent bandwidth available via auction from the Federal Communications Commission. These "non-cellular" frequencies were made usable for a consumer and business wireless voice telephone service with the iDEN technology developed by Motorola, which some observers at the time said would not be practical. Initially, FleetCall did not want to include the push to talk feature in their phones, but the FCC required it as the initial frequencies were licensed for dispatch use. Later, Nextel would use the push-to-talk feature as a key marketing advantage.
Innovations and technologies[edit]
Nextel affected the cellular phone market in several ways. It was the first company to successfully provide unlimited calling plans to a large customer base. Nextel was the first company to implement a nationwide push-to-talk system similar to a walkie-talkie, marketed as DirectConnect. Unlike other cellular networks, the Nextel network operated in the Specialized Mobile Radio band, and Nextel was one of the first providers in the United States to offer a national digital cellular coverage footprint. The company was the first in the United States to integrate global positioning system features into their phones and to complete their 2G network upgrade.
Nextel was also an industry leader in customer lifecycle management. They invested significantly in analytics capability, which allowed them to surpass their competitors in handling customer concerns effectively. The company also developed capabilities allowing it to assess and review customer relationship values objectively and to project and respond to customer loyalty. As a result of these efforts, and what was reported to be a strong focus on customer satisfaction across the organization, Nextel was known for industry leading customer retention rates, average revenue per user, and customer lifetime value.
Nextel had long worked closely with a single vendor, Motorola, on both equipment and standards. The close relationship had yielded the Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (iDEN) protocol, which uses a time division multiple access technology. Some of the special features the company utilized included its push-to-talk feature, which simulated the half-duplex operation of a two-way radio. Nextel was one of the few carriers to have adopted iDEN around the world, although the technology has gained traction through NII Holdings in Latin American countries. iDEN (Motorola) is also utilized in the Southeast of the United States by SouthernLINC Wireless and in Canada by Telus Mobility under the Mike Mobile brand.
Push to talk[edit]
Nextel gained a significant marketing and technological advantage through its push-to-talk technology[clarification needed]. In 2003, Verizon Wireless and Sprint PCS each launched push-to-talk features, with Cingular following in 2005; none have gained significant traction. Nextel and Verizon had entered a legal battle in June 2003 over Verizon's advertising for their push-to-talk feature. The companies reached a settlement in early 2004. Initial advertising for Verizon's service was heavy, but it became almost nonexistent fairly quickly, possibly due to poor reviews of the service.
The push-to-talk feature, with which Nextel has gained popularity, was made interoperable with the QChat technology on the Sprint network in 2008. Sprint had originally launched its own push-to-talk service, known as ReadyLink, which is based on SIP. Due to the difference in technology, users of the ReadyLink service were never able to make or receive push-to-talk calls with users of the iDEN technology. By 2009, Sprint began phasing out QChat to again focus on marketing iDEN devices.
Nextel also offers a feature on some of their phones, marketed as DirectTalk. The technology uses the 900 MHz ISM band and provides ten FHSS channels for off network push to talk communications between individual phones that are not necessarily in range of wireless towers.
In 2003, prior to its merger with Sprint, Nextel had announced plans for its next generation 3G network. It was reportedly to use an extension to iDEN called WiDEN, developed by Motorola. Nextel upgraded their network to support the WiDEN packet data protocol, increasing data speeds up to 90 kbit/s. The Motorola i850, i860, i870, and i880 were the only phones to support WiDEN without modification. In October 2005, in order to free up network capacity for cellular calls due to rebanding, Sprint removed the ability to connect to the WiDEN service from all Nextel towers.
Merger with Sprint[edit]
Following the completion of the Sprint-Nextel merger on August 12, 2005, future plans for Nextel included migrating customers to Sprint's CDMA network.
Radio interference[edit]
Nextel towers in the United States have caused radio interference with commercial and public safety trunked and conventional 800 MHz two-way radio systems. To resolve the problems, Nextel and the Federal Communications Commission developed a plan, approved by the FCC in August 2004, to relocate Nextel systems elsewhere in the 800 MHz band in order to reduce the potential for interference.[6]
Before rebanding, Public Safety, Business/Industrial, SMR and ESMR's both operate in the 851-861 MHz range. ESMR has exclusive use of the 861-866 MHz range, and Public Safety has exclusive use of the 866-869 MHz range.
During rebanding the following will occur:
- All licensees with channels between 866-869 MHz (NPSPAC) must relocate to equivalent channels between 851-854.
- All licensees other than ESMRs with channels between 851-854 MHz must relocate to equivalent channels between 854-862.
- Nextel and other ESMR operators must relinquish all channels below 862 MHz. The FCC has required Nextel to vacate all its channels in the band from 854-854.5 nationwide as soon as possible to provide additional spectrum for Public Safety needs.
- Public Safety has exclusive access to all vacated Nextel channels for 3 years, after which they are open to all eligible users.
After rebanding, Public Safety and Critical Infrastructure will have exclusive use of 851-854 MHz. ESMR systems (primarily Nextel) will have exclusive use of 862-869 MHz range, and public safety, business/industrial users, and low-power SMR's will share the 854-862 MHz spectrum. 860-861 MHz is designated as an "Expansion Band", and 861-862 MHz is designated as a "Guard Band". No licensees other than ESMR are required to relocate to channels above 860 MHz.
The use of contiguous spectrum allows for simple filters to be installed to protect public safety radio systems from interference, which is currently impossible under the existing mixed allocations in the 800 MHz band.
Nextel (Sprint) is paying for much of the cost of this reconfiguration, but in compensation for lost 800 MHz spectrum, the company is receiving spectrum in the 2 GHz band at 1910–1915/1990–1995 MHz. This spectrum is near the existing Sprint PCS allocations and can be used to expand the number of channels available for that service, without needing to bid for additional capacity in a spectrum auction.[7][8][9]
Major sponsorships[edit]
On June 19, 2003, Nextel and NASCAR announced a sponsorship agreement to rename NASCAR's top racing series to the Nextel Cup Series beginning in 2004. Nextel replaced R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company cigarette brand Winston after Winston spent 33 seasons of being NASCAR's Cup Series title sponsor. In 2008 however, the series was renamed the Sprint Cup Series due to Sprint Nextel's plan to phase out the Nextel brand name. Nextel was also a major sponsor of the now defunct ChampCar team PacWest Racing, which was owned by Craig McCaw's brother Bruce.

Family Memoirs: The Moments We Never Forget
Certain memories are tremendously powerful and often contribute universally to the memory of a nation. These are the memories that when we think back, we know exactly where we were and what we were doing at that exact moment.
I have two such memories (maybe I'll think of more later?)
John Lennon's Death
When John Lennon died perhaps it didn't impact the world quite as much as when John F. Kennedy died but it was one of those unforgettable moments in my life. I remember exactly what I was doing clear as if it were happening right now. I was in 7th grade and I was the first one downstairs reading the newspaper. Lennon's death was the headline in the paper. My older brother, who worshiped John Lennon, strolled downstairs and I told him the news. At first he didn't believe me. Then I remember watching his shocked look as he sat down and it sunk in. That evening we watched on tv as hundreds of people left flowers outside the Dakota building.
This event of course impacted not just the United States but also the world. I don't think I will ever forget this day. It was so surreal. I was nine months pregnant with my second child at the time. I remember the powerful emotions I felt when watching the news programs. I made a conscious choice that day not to watch the tv coverage. I felt the emotions were too strong and the grief could impact my unborn baby. So I chose to acknowledge it but not get trapped into watching endless coverage of the event.
An interesting part of Barbara's post discussed the "memory" of people who witnessed events live and those who learned about them later. Both groups can have strong emotions about an event but only one group actually witnessed it.
Thanks Barbara for the great food for thought.
I would be interested to hear what some of the momentous events in your life were that you will never forget.
10 comments:
Both Kennedy assassinations. Richard Nixon's resignation. The Challenger explosion. And 9/11. Oh, 9/11. My office windows face lower Manhattan from across the river in New Jersey. People from my office watched the second plane hit the World Trade Center. And we all watched as Ground Zero smoldered and smoked for weeks... and weeks... and weeks...
ReplyDeleteI can remember both the Challenger and the Columbia space shuttle disasters vividly along with the attempted assassination of Reagan though not as vividly since I was still fairly young.
9/11 though still remains the strongest mostly because I was two weeks into being newly unemployed and had lots of time on my hands. I watched the news all day and for much of the next couple weeks. With all the uncertainty from that, it was a long time before I found employment again.I was in 9th grade when John Lennon died. It wasn't as emotional for me as for others who were bigger fans of his, but I do remember it was a big deal for many members of my school community.
I do remember the attempted assassination of President Reagan, as I was watching a soap opera at the time and it was interrupted for the news. And I was in college at the time of the Challenger space shuttle disaster when many of us happened to be watching it live on TV and couldn't believe what we were seeing.
And of course, I will never forget the morning of 9/11/01. My boys were in 2nd grade and Kindergarten. I had the younger one home for the morning (he had afternoon Kindergarten). When a friend I had called on the phone told me what happened, I hung up and turned on the TV for about a minute. As soon as I realized what was happening, I turned it off, as I didn't want to watch it with an impressionable five year old in the house with me. We went to our local library later, and the radio was on in the library (probably the only time ever).You have mentioned three of my four big "I remember where I was when..." moments. I was just a child when JFK was killed, and we heard the news on the radio. The memory of that day is still strong. When John Lennon was killed, I was playing tennis. Someone on the sidelines had a radio and told us what had happened. I didn't hear about 9/11 until a few hours later, when I was driving to work. A fourth event that I remember vividly was the death of Princess Diana. I had just come home from a social cricket match when I saw that news on TV.
When I asked my father this question, he said, "I remember the moment we got the telegram saying that my brother Jim had been killed in the war."I guess JFK's death was my first "memory moment". I was in 7th grade and I can still remember our principal's crying voice over the loud speaker telling us what happened. 9/11 was really rough, my husband had just died a couple of weeks before so my emotions were a mess already. I was at work when the wife of one of the guys called to say what had happend after the first plane hit. My youngest son was going to the police academy at the time and they sent them home. He came to my work and was ready to send me off to another of my son's to have me away from the east coast. I just remember trying to contact all of my children to make sure where they were and could not get my truck driver son that was supposed to be going though NY that day. His girlfriend (now wife) finally called me and said he had gotten hold of her and he was fine.
ReplyDeleteI was in the 9th. grade when John Lennon was shot. I remember sitting on my parents bed and watching the evening news like it was yesterday. My mom told me about Kennedy and how people huddled around radios at work and cried. My dad knows exactly where he was when he heard when Buddy Holly died.

Charles Spurgeon
Charles Haddon Spurgeon | |
Born | Kelvedon, Essex, England |
19 June 1834
Died | 31 January 1892 Menton, Alpes-Maritimes, France |
(aged 57)
Nationality | British |
Occupation | Pastor, author |
Spouse(s) | Susannah Spurgeon (born Thompson) (22 October 1903) |
Children | Charles and Thomas Spurgeon (twins) (1856) |
Parent(s) | John and Eliza Spurgeon |
Charles Haddon (CH) Spurgeon (/ˈhædən ˈspɜːrdʒən/; 19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) was an English Particular Baptist preacher. Spurgeon remains highly influential among Christians of various denominations, among whom he is known as the "Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the Church in agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith understanding, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church of his day. He also famously denied being a Protestant, and held to the view of Baptist Successionism.
Spurgeon was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years.[1] He was part of several controversies with the Baptist Union of Great Britain and later he left the denomination over doctrinal convictions.[2] In 1867, he started a charity organisation which is now called Spurgeon's and works globally. He also founded Spurgeon's College, which was named after him posthumously.
Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including sermons, an autobiography, commentaries, books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns, and more.[3][4] Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. Spurgeon produced powerful sermons of penetrating thought and precise exposition. His oratory skills held his listeners spellbound in the Metropolitan Tabernacle and many Christians hold his writings in exceptionally high regard among devotional literature.[5]
Early life[edit]
Part of a series on |
Baptists |
Baptist portal |
Born in Kelvedon, Essex, Spurgeon's conversion from nominal Anglicanism came on 6 January 1850, at age 15. On his way to a scheduled appointment, a snow storm forced him to cut short his intended journey and to turn into a Primitive Methodist chapel in Artillery Street, Newtown, Colchester where, he claimed, God opened his heart to the salvation message. The text that moved him was Isaiah 45:22 – "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is none else." Later that year on 4 April 1850, he was admitted to the church at Newmarket.
His baptism followed on 3 May in the river Lark, at Isleham. Later that same year he moved to Cambridge, where he later became a Sunday school teacher. He preached his first sermon in the winter of 1850–51 in a cottage at Teversham while filling in for a friend. From the beginning of his ministry his style and ability were considered to be far above average. In the same year, he was installed as pastor of the small Baptist church at Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire, where he published his first literary work, a Gospel tract written in 1853.
New Park Street Chapel[edit]
In April 1854, after preaching three months on probation and just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 19, was called to the pastorate of London's famed New Park Street Chapel, Southwark (formerly pastored by the Particular Baptists Benjamin Keach, theologian John Gill and John Rippon). This was the largest Baptist congregation in London at the time, although it had dwindled in numbers for several years. Spurgeon found friends in London among his fellow pastors, such as William Garrett Lewis of Westbourne Grove Church, an older man who along with Spurgeon went on to found the London Baptist Association.
Within a few months of Spurgeon's arrival at Park Street, his ability as a preacher made him famous. The following year the first of his sermons in the "New Park Street Pulpit" was published. Spurgeon's sermons were published in printed form every week and had a high circulation. By the time of his death in 1892, he had preached nearly 3,600 sermons and published 49 volumes of commentaries, sayings, anecdotes, illustrations and devotions.
Immediately following his fame was criticism. The first attack in the press appeared in the Earthen Vessel in January 1855. His preaching, although not revolutionary in substance, was a plain-spoken and direct appeal to the people, using the Bible to provoke them to consider the teachings of Jesus Christ. Critical attacks from the media persisted throughout his life. The congregation quickly outgrew their building, and moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000. At 22, Spurgeon was the most popular preacher of the day.[6]
On 8 January 1856, Spurgeon married Susannah, daughter of Robert Thompson of Falcon Square, London, by whom he had twin sons, Charles and Thomas born on 20 September 1856. At the end of that year, tragedy struck on 19 October 1856, as Spurgeon was preaching at the Surrey Gardens Music Hall for the first time. Someone in the crowd yelled, "Fire!" The ensuing panic and stampede left several dead. Spurgeon was emotionally devastated by the event and it had a sobering influence on his life. He struggled against depression for many years and spoke of being moved to tears for no reason known to himself.
Walter Thornbury later wrote in "Old and New London" (1897) describing a subsequent meeting at Surrey:
" | a congregation consisting of 10,000 souls, streaming into the hall, mounting the galleries, humming, buzzing, and swarming – a mighty hive of bees – eager to secure at first the best places, and, at last, any place at all. After waiting more than half an hour – for if you wish to have a seat you must be there at least that space of time in advance... Mr. Spurgeon ascended his tribune. To the hum, and rush, and trampling of men, succeeded a low, concentrated thrill and murmur of devotion, which seemed to run at once, like an electric current, through the breast of everyone present, and by this magnetic chain the preacher held us fast bound for about two hours. It is not my purpose to give a summary of his discourse. It is enough to say of his voice, that its power and volume are sufficient to reach every one in that vast assembly; of his language that it is neither high-flown nor homely; of his style, that it is at times familiar, at times declamatory, but always happy, and often eloquent; of his doctrine, that neither the 'Calvinist' nor the 'Baptist' appears in the forefront of the battle which is waged by Mr. Spurgeon with relentless animosity, and with Gospel weapons, against irreligion, cant, hypocrisy, pride, and those secret bosom-sins which so easily beset a man in daily life; and to sum up all in a word, it is enough to say, of the man himself, that he impresses you with a perfect conviction of his sincerity. | " |
Spurgeon's work went on. A Pastors' College was founded in 1857 by Spurgeon and was renamed Spurgeon's College in 1923, when it moved to its present building in South Norwood Hill, London.[7] At the Fast Day, 7 October 1857, he preached to the largest crowd ever – 23,654 people – at The Crystal Palace in London. Spurgeon noted:
" | In 1857, a day or two before preaching at the Crystal Palace, I went to decide where the platform should be fixed; and, in order to test the acoustic properties of the building, cried in a loud voice, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." In one of the galleries, a workman, who knew nothing of what was being done, heard the words, and they came like a message from heaven to his soul. He was smitten with conviction on account of sin, put down his tools, went home, and there, after a season of spiritual struggling, found peace and life by beholding the Lamb of God. Years after, he told this story to one who visited him on his death-bed. | " |
Metropolitan Tabernacle[edit]
On 18 March 1861, the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed purpose-built Metropolitan Tabernacle at Elephant and Castle, Southwark, seating 5000 people with standing room for another 1000. The Metropolitan Tabernacle was the largest church edifice of its day. Spurgeon continued to preach there several times per week until his death 31 years later. He never gave altar calls at the conclusion of his sermons, but he always extended the invitation that if anyone was moved to seek an interest in Christ by his preaching on a Sunday, they could meet with him at his vestry on Monday morning. Without fail, there was always someone at his door the next day.
He wrote his sermons out fully before he preached, but what he carried up to the pulpit was a note card with an outline sketch. Stenographers would take down the sermon as it was delivered and Spurgeon would then have opportunity to make revisions to the transcripts the following day for immediate publication. His weekly sermons, which sold for a penny each, were widely circulated and still remain one of the all-time best selling series of writings published in history.
" | I would propose that the subject of the ministry of this house, as long as this platform shall stand, and as long as this house shall be frequented by worshippers, shall be the person of Jesus Christ. I am never ashamed to avow myself a Calvinist, although I claim to be rather a Calvinist according to Calvin, than after the modern debased fashion. I do not hesitate to take the name of Baptist. You have there (pointing to the baptistry) substantial evidence that I am not ashamed of that ordinance of our Lord Jesus Christ; but if I am asked to say what is my creed, I think I must reply: "It is Jesus Christ." My venerable predecessor, Dr. Gill, has left a body of divinity admirable and excellent in its way; but the body of divinity to which I would pin and bind myself for ever, God helping me, is not his system of divinity or any other human treatise, but Christ Jesus, who is the sum and substance of the gospel; who is in himself all theology, the incarnation of every precious truth, the all-glorious personal embodiment of the way, the truth, and the life.
– The kernel of Spurgeon's first sermon at the Tabernacle[8] |
" |
Besides sermons, Spurgeon also wrote several hymns and published a new collection of worship songs in 1866 called "Our Own Hymn Book". It was mostly a compilation of Isaac Watts's Psalms and Hymns that had been originally selected by John Rippon, a Baptist predecessor to Spurgeon. Singing in the congregation was exclusively a cappella under his pastorate. Thousands heard the preaching and were led in the singing without any amplification of sound that exists today. Hymns were a subject that he took seriously. While Spurgeon was still preaching at New Park Street, a hymn book called "The Rivulet" was published. Spurgeon aroused controversy because of his critique of its theology, which was largely deistic. At the end of his review, Spurgeon warned:
" | We shall soon have to handle truth, not with kid gloves, but with gauntlets, – the gauntlets of holy courage and integrity. Go on, ye warriors of the cross, for the King is at the head of you. | " |
On 5 June 1862, Spurgeon challenged the Church of England when he preached against baptismal regeneration.[9] However, Spurgeon taught across denominational lines as well: for example, in 1877 he was the preacher at the opening of a new Free Church of Scotland church building in Dingwall. It was during this period at the new Tabernacle that Spurgeon found a friend in James Hudson Taylor, the founder of the inter-denominational China Inland Mission. Spurgeon supported the work of the mission financially and directed many missionary candidates to apply for service with Taylor. He also aided in the work of cross-cultural evangelism by promoting "The Wordless Book", a teaching tool that he described in a message given on 11 January 1866, regarding Psalm 51:7: "Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." The book has been and is still used to teach people without reading skills and people of other cultures and languages – young and old – around the globe about the Gospel message.[10][11]
Following the example of George Müller, Spurgeon founded the Stockwell Orphanage, which opened for boys in 1867 and for girls in 1879, and which continued in London until it was bombed in the Second World War.[12][13][14] The orphanage became Spurgeon's Child Care which still exists today. On the death of missionary David Livingstone in 1873, a discolored and much-used copy of one of Spurgeon's printed sermons, "Accidents, Not Punishments,"[15] was found among his few possessions much later, along with the handwritten comment at the top of the first page: "Very good, D.L." He had carried it with him throughout his travels in Africa. It was sent to Spurgeon and treasured by him.[16]
Downgrade Controversy[edit]
A controversy among the Baptists flared in 1887 with Spurgeon's first "Down-grade" article, published in The Sword & the Trowel.[17] In the ensuing "Downgrade Controversy," the Metropolitan Tabernacle became disaffiliated from the Baptist Union, effectuating Spurgeon's congregation as the world's largest self-standing church. Spurgeon framed the controversy in this way:
" | Believers in Christ's atonement are now in declared union with those who make light of it; believers in Holy Scripture are in confederacy with those who deny plenary inspiration; those who hold evangelical doctrine are in open alliance with those who call the fall a fable, who deny the personality of the Holy Ghost, who call justification by faith immoral, and hold that there is another probation after death... It is our solemn conviction that there should be no pretence of fellowship. Fellowship with known and vital error is participation in sin.[18] | " |
The Controversy took its name from Spurgeon's use of the term "Downgrade" to describe certain other Baptists' outlook toward the Bible (i.e., they had "downgraded" the Bible and the principle of sola scriptura).[19] Spurgeon alleged that an incremental creeping of the Graf-Wellhausen hypothesis, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, and other concepts were weakening the Baptist Union.[20][21][22] Spurgeon emphatically decried the doctrine that resulted:
" | Assuredly the New Theology can do no good towards God or man; it, has no adaptation for it. If it were preached for a thousand years by all the most earnest men of the school, it would never renew a soul, nor overcome pride in a single human heart.[23] | " |
The standoff caused division amongst the Baptists and other non-conformists, and is regarded by many as an important paradigm.[a][20][24][25]
Opposition to slavery[edit]
Spurgeon strongly opposed the owning of slaves.[26] He lost support from the Southern Baptists, sales of his sermons dropped to a few, and he received scores of threatening and insulting letters as a consequence.[27]
" | Not so very long ago our nation tolerated slavery in our colonies. Philanthropists endeavored to destroy slavery; but when was it utterly abolished? It was when Wilberforce roused the church of God, and when the church of God addressed herself to the conflict, then she tore the evil thing to pieces. I have been amused with what Wilberforce said the day after they passed the Act of Emancipation. He merrily said to a friend when it was all done, "Is there not something else we can abolish?" That was said playfully, but it shows the spirit of the church of God. She lives in conflict and victory; her mission is to destroy everything that is bad in the land.
The Best Warcry, March 4th, 1883'[26] |
" |
Like other Baptists of his time, despite opposing Dispensationalism,[28][29] Spurgeon anticipated the restoration of the Jews to inhabit the Promised Land.[30]
" | We look forward, then, for these two things. I am not going to theorize upon which of them will come first – whether they shall be restored first, and converted afterwards – or converted first and then restored. They are to be restored and they are to be converted, too.
The Restoration And Conversion of the Jews. Ezekiel 37.1–10, June 16th, 1864[30] |
" |
Final years and death[edit]
Spurgeon's wife was often too ill to leave home to hear him preach. Spurgeon also suffered ill health toward the end of his life, afflicted by a combination of rheumatism, gout and Bright's disease. He often recuperated at Menton, near Nice, France, where he died on 31 January 1892. He enjoyed cigars and smoked a "F. P Del Rio y Ca." in his last days according to his grandson.[31] Spurgeon was survived by his wife and sons. His remains were buried at West Norwood Cemetery in London, where the tomb is still visited by admirers. His son Tom became the pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle after his father died.
William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri purchased Spurgeon's 5,103-volume library collection for £500 ($2500) in 1906. The collection was purchased by Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary[32] in Kansas City, Missouri in 2006 for $400,000 and is currently undergoing restoration. A special collection of Spurgeon's handwritten sermon notes and galley proofs from 1879–91 resides at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama.[33] Spurgeon's College in London also has a small number of notes and proofs.
Spurgeon's works have been translated into many languages and Moon's and Braille type for the blind. He also wrote many volumes of commentaries and other types of literature.[34]

how do you decide when "good enough" is "good enough" with a concept?
Quoting JocelynsMama1:i dont settle for just mediocre i think children should have to master a skill before moving on....however if it is becoming stressful or its just not clickig i would step away from it...do something else in math and then come back to it in a few weeks also if you can tell us how youve been teaching her we can help giv eyou some other ideas to try....are you jsut working on coin recognition or the value of those coins? are you have her count nickells as just counting the objects or count them like money as in 5 cents and so on? hav eyou jsut been practicing with real money? anything else youve done with the lesson? let me know all this and ill try to help :)
she recognizes coins....can count a group of like coins.....and if I put a bunch of nickels dimes and pennies together she can add them........she can count quarters and pennies together...but if put quarters with dimes and nickels she gets confused...(she can tell quarters and nickels apart....just hard to add them). She can count by 2's, 5'2, 10's, and quarters...... I think after reading everyone's responses that she is on track...and that most kindergarteners can't get this right all the time either...so I am going to lay off it for a while. Thanks for offerring to help :)
Quoting No_Difference:When I was going over coins with my daughter, we were also going over who the people on the coins were in history coincidentally. To make it easier learning the which coins were which. (Mind you, this was supposed to be really sill and fun, not to be offensive, or necessarily historically accurate)
George Washington is so important, he's not just on the dollar, but on our quarter too - the most commonly used so he gets seen a lot.
Lincoln is on the Penny becouse he did hundreds of things while in office, and he abolished slavery which is why the coin is a different color - (the silver coins were getting a little prejudice)
Thomas Jefferson is on the nickel because, if you just have a nickle, you're broke, but if you melt it down, it's worth a lot more (which is illegal to do with pennies and nickels), just like the man! He was broke, but his property and belongings were worth much more. Why is the nickle bigger than the dime? Because Jefferson was a founding father and would be sorely wounded if his face wasn't more well known than Roosevelts.
Franklin D Roosevelt is on the dime because he started the March of Dimes.
Mostly learning the difference between Washington and Jefferson helped her remember which coin was which... The others were pretty easy for her to remember
I love this! What a great idea!
We just did repetition: "25, 50, 75, a dollar" over and over and over again. We'd write it, say it,
dance around & yell it. Then we'd count by ten. I'd throw out a number & have her count by ten from that number, then with fives---not once touching coins.
Try setting up a store & give her a coin purse. Put price tags on small toys or treats (cookies, candies, a carrot stick ;)) 19cents, 11cents, etc. Throughout the day, after she finishes an assignment, tell her to grab her coin purse & buy a treat from the "store".
start out with only pennies, then add a few nickles. After a while, give her just dimes or just quarters, and YOU count out change for her by writing down the problem for her to see & you having to figure it out.
Find a few worksheets, but only toss her one every other day. Don't make it a big deal, but for now I'd back off for about a week or two. Good luck!

Grateful Dead
You have been warned.
hEY nOW! The band Covert Operations plays the Flint, Michigan area--these guys are a must see. Starting December 28 and every friday thru Feburary these guys will be rocking the Purple Moon on Dort Highway. Any Michigan heads within the area please do yourself a favor. I have never seen a group like this.
nice tunes :)
Hi i have a few new tunes and remixes of the older ones on my page now.
The tunes are all tributes to the Dead except for On the Road which is more of a breeze through the beat scene etc (brief and not in depth but I think catchy) and Memphis Hideaway is more inspired by the Dead scene that a tribute to the band.
I hope you enjoy them.
Merry Christmas all!
July, 2007 marked the release of Will King's solo album, Come on in from the Cold.

Always looking for constructive feedback and local heads to jam with.
Xmy husband and i have past experience with various bands in the tri state area currently we are experimenting with a repitior of dead and jazz standards sung by ladies like nina simone sara vhaun and billie worked out a nice arrangement of my favorite things but mastercard did a cheezy commercial and killed it for us song feels cheep now hopefully time will heel the wound and restore its original glory got old tour head friend from back in the jerry days on rhythm guitar that joins in on occasion
"Coming together in 2006, the JFP is the melting pot for so many different styles of music. Rock, jazz, funk, soul, R&B, blues, folk, reggae...., it's all there."
New Sounds Online
"We cover some of the greatest songs of all time.", says Jason Ferguson, guitarist and vocalist for the JFP. "And though we pay heavy homage to Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders in the way we arrange our material, it's really tough to pin us down to any one style. It's not hard to describe what we're actually doing, I say first and foremost, we're a rock & roll band."
Besides covering songs by American and International artists such as Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, The Rolling Stones, Marvin Gaye, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Cliff and Van Morrison, the JFP digs back deep into the catalogues of these greats to pull out their lesser known material.
"We give the flops the royal treatment too.", says Gregory Smith, bassist and vocalist.
Jason adds, "We're like a rescue and salvage operation. When I go to a record store looking for material I go into the back, or look under the shelves, you know what I mean?"
With an equal blend of the jam sensibility of bands like The Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers, and the lockstep tightness along the lines of Little Feat and The Funky Meters, the JFP brings back the obscure songs that built the foundation for today's popular music. Carefully crafting their interpretation of these songs has given the JFP a sense of freedom, and along with that freedom comes those magical musical moments where chances are taken, and where an old tune can sound brand new.....

UPDATED: HTC DROID ERIS to get Q1 update to Android 2.0 or 2.1
0. phoneArena 04 Dec 2009, 14:28 posted on
A upgrade to Android 2.0 or 2.1 is expected for Verizon's DROID ERIS sometime in the first quarter of next year...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. MikeG77 (Posts: 414; Member since: 24 Nov 2008)
Ok thats great to hear that they are updating the Eris but im curious where is the update for the HTC Touch Pro 2? There is no reason why the Eris is all ready an update less then 1 month afer it came out and the TP2 has nothing. There is no point in releasing new devices if your only going to support some of them.
2. JackFace (Posts: 190; Member since: 03 Nov 2009)
Because... Eris is Android and HTC TP2 is WinMo... Android is Google and WinMo is Microsoft... Anaysis: Because Google is rad, they Update their crap all the time and Microsoft Updates their crap some of the time. And, Verizon doesn't make Android or WinMo Updates. Not so sure what you are upset about.
14. Kiltlifter (Posts: 742; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
WinMo is crazy powerful and the TP2 is a business oriented device, and it is a fantastic device btw. Why give him negative because he wants 6.5 on his TP2 that he was promives would be available as the device runs the exact same hardware the Imagio does, just in a smaller screen and no floTV. I agree with MikeG, where is the update to 6.5 as it has been out for 2 months now and no update/love for the TP2 without have to get a custom from at XDA. Mike, check out NFSFAN on xda... you won't be dissappointed.
3. MikeG77 (Posts: 414; Member since: 24 Nov 2008)
Hey Jackface way to state the obvious! But ask your self what does the Eris and the Touch Pro2 have in common.....oh yeh there made by HTC. Now we all know that HTC does not control when a OS update comes out but my point was why is it that an update to winmo 6.5 came out 2 months ago and Verizon has not gotten a new rom from HTC. Oh and i personally dont agree with you about Google being rad but i do agree that microsoft takes forever to update there OS. Your not sure what im upset about? The reason why your not sure is becuase i was'nt upset about anything I was merely questioning Verizons/HTC ability to support there products and customers.
4. blackirish24 (Posts: 15; Member since: 24 Dec 2008)
The cellular provider is just the middleman or woman however you would like to look at it. The support of software upgrades come from the OS builder and/or the cellphone manufacturer. If you are familiar with Blackberrys you would have already known this. There are leaks and ways to update your device (smartphones) to whatever you would like them too. It's a minicomputer...If you don't like the way it's operating software wise. You have the option to change it. Doesn't matter if it's Iphone, Android, Winmo, Blackberry, etc...None of it has to do with Verizon, At&T, Sprint, Tmobile.... You want update for touchpro 2? just search for it...I did it while typing this post and : http://rapid4me.com/?q=win+6.5
+for+htc+touchpro+2 first hit was that....happy upgrading.
7. JackFace (Posts: 190; Member since: 03 Nov 2009)
Oh yeah, try XDA as well. They do wonders for WinMo Devices!
8. MikeG77 (Posts: 414; Member since: 24 Nov 2008)
BlackIrish i know i can look for a custom rom for my phone but thats not the point and i also know that software support comes from the OS or cellphone manufacturer. I think the biggest problem right now for VZW is that they are so focused on Android that everything else has been placed on the back burner. Oh well such is life.
9. brikz4real (Posts: 173; Member since: 24 Dec 2008)
I could be wrong but I think what Mike was alluding to is that Verizon has shown very, very, very poor support for that entire line of HTC phones ( XV6800, Touch Pro, and Touch Pro 2 ). When the XV6800 came out, Verizon's own employees couldn't even get the neccesary accessories for it because it was not in their employee .... despite being released ( they kept showing accessories for the XV6700 instead ). There was no support for the Verizon version on HTC's site either ( just the Titan, Sprint's version ). Then came the Touch Pro, horry story it may be, but still ... no support. I like the Droid Eris, but I feel that the TP2 is VZW's best business phone .... yet, the TP2 is the ONLY phone they don't sell in the stores ( Nokia Shade doesn't count since it's exclusive to Walmart ). Hell, you can't even go into a Verizon store and look at a demo cause they don't have them. Let's see: You have a device with an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, is touted as one of the best devices for business on the market, has constantly sold out of inventory, and you can't sell it out of the stores? I don't know what it is about that line of phones but something smells rotten between that line and Verizon. In any case, I will probably get the Imagio anyways.
10. deschats (Posts: 193; Member since: 09 Jun 2009)
mike, i would also like to state that htc has absolutely no control over when google releases updates to android devices. microsoft has complete control over htc's winmo devices. way to not know what your talking about.
11. MikeG77 (Posts: 414; Member since: 24 Nov 2008)
Deschats i know htc has no control over when google does an update. My only point is that the eris will have an update sometime in January but the TP2 came out before and has nothing. "Microsoft has complete control over HTC winmo devices" so just so im not misunderstanding you your telling me that Microsoft controls all aspects of HTC's software and hardware development? I assume your talking strictly about the software side of things?
12. MikeG77 (Posts: 414; Member since: 24 Nov 2008)
Brikz4real, Finally someone who understands what i was trying to say in my original post.
13. tonyc_42 (Posts: 61; Member since: 18 Aug 2009)
hey mikeg77 just because you got called out on your original post for not knowing what the hell you are talking about doesn't mean you need to keep backtracking to get the last word in because it is making you look ignorant. let it go man...
5. akararules (Posts: 4; Member since: 06 Nov 2009)
do u have to buy a new phone in order to get the upgrade like from the Iphone to the Iphone 3gS or do you just download it on ur droid eris

You download it.

Sonic Fights Robotnik Chapter 7 Live Fan Fiction Read
I always have fun reminiscing about good times with old friends. Tonight is one of those special nights where I stumbled around on that wide, worldly web called the Internet, in search of ancient Sonic the Hedgehog fan websites/webrings to talk about. A specific website of old, sonic-club.net, was something I wanted to share. As with all good things, it has seen it's end. Removing the dash, however, has brought my attention to something… very special, and I wanted to share it with you all. Ladies and gentleman, straight from Nagoya, Japan, where anything can happen:
Yes, this is a real place. However, people in the video are speaking Portuguese, because the club decided to have a Portuguese-themed night, I guess! If you look closely, you might see Sonic Team doing lines of cocaine off of Sonic's quills.

Santa Ana names interim manager
SANTA ANA A retired government executive with two decades of experience in Orange County was appointed Monday by the City Council as Santa Ana's interim city manager.
Kevin O'Rourke, owner of a consulting firm, was city manager for Buena Park from 1985 until 1997. Before that, he worked for Stanton from 1977 to 1985, serving as its city manager beginning in 1981.
The City Council will approve O'Rourke's contract when it meets next week, but he began work with Monday's unanimous appointment.
City officials expect O'Rourke to remain in the interim position for six to nine months, while a nationwide search for a permanent city manager takes place.
"He's very personable, and he's very competent," said Councilman Vincent F. Sarmiento, who said O'Rourke was one of three finalists interviewed by the council for the slot. "He'll allow for the city to move forward with a lot of its ongoing issues while giving us the luxury of looking for a permanent city manager."
Among the major projects undertaken during O'Rourke's tenure in Buena Park was renovation of the Buena Park Mall. After he left there, he became city manager of Fairfield until 2007. Solano County supervisors credited him with partnering with them to build a new government center in Fairfield's downtown. Since his retirement from Fairfield, O'Rourke has served as an interim city manager for Stockton and Woodland, and as an interim general services director for Solano County.
Councilwoman Michele Martinez noted that O'Rourke is fluent in Spanish. Among the chief priorities he'll face, she said, are a state demand for more than $54 million in housing funds as a result of the dissolution of redevelopment, development of a city strategic plan and budget, and labor negotiations.
"He's very qualified," said Martinez, who was part of an ad-hoc council committee that worked on the search for an interim leader. "He understands his role, and that is he is here to transition the city for a permanent city manager."
Council members have said that appointment of an interim city manager would be followed by a national search for a permanent executive and that they want to see community participation in the search for a replacement.
Former City Manager Paul M. Walters resigned effective Feb. 1, on the heels of a 6-1 council vote Jan. 22 to begin the process of releasing him from his contract.
Walters, formerly the city's police chief, was appointed to the interim city manager position in May 2011 and made permanent city manager in June.

Saxophonist/flutist/singer Arthur Doyle is hardly alone in his position as a marginal jazz figure. In an art form known for its many trials and tribulations (both artistic and financial), Doyle hasn't made his situation any easier by attempting to carve a singular path along the music's outskirts. The fact that he has done so, however, is what makes his music so unique. Performing in a style he calls free jazz soul, Doyle combines the liberated freedom flights of the avant-garde with the gritty, gut-wrenching emotion of gospel and R&B.
The second of five children, Arthur Doyle was born in Birmingham, AL, on June 26, 1944. He attended college at Tennessee State University where he quickly built a circle of contacts in the Nashville music scene, playing with Louis Smith (Horace Silver) and Walter Miller (Sun Ra). Following brief stints in Detroit, playing in a big band led by Charles Moore, and back home in Alabama with R&B outfit Johnny Jones & the King Casuals, Doyle left for New York at the age of 23.

Part 2: Working During the Flood of 1972
For many it meant putting their personal lives on hold to get the job done. Agnes devastated corning and Elmira 40 years ago. It seems like yesterday to the people who worked through the flood.
Nurses Aid, Sheila McFall came to work Friday morning and remembers how quickly the water rose.
She said, I heard an enormous roar like you were under a railroad tressle or something. A horrid noise. Flood waters were just pouring, pouring into the hospital at that point the doorway was almost 3/4 the full with water.
Hospital staff worked through the night without power, caring for patients, waiting to evacuate.
It was on Saturday morning that we began a mass evacuation with helicopters, station wagons, anything.
In Elmira, firefighters and cops worked tirelessly to help people.
Don Harrison, a member of the Elmira Fire Department in 1972 said, Most of the time was spent taking people off their porch roofs, off their main roofs of their house. Out of their second floor windows. Where they had no way of escaping the ensuing water.
Another EPD member, Dick Wandell recalls the time, saying, We'd take a boat down Water Street and you would have to duck down so your head wouldn't hit the traffic signals you see how high those are now. That was spooky.
Journalists working for WENY-TV News faced their own set of problems. The TV studio at the former Mark Twain hotel completely flooded.
Tom Seem, a WENY-TV Anchor and Reporter from 1972 said, The station could not broadcast the radio station and the TV station were off the air because of power and other problems. So it was really difficult to want and go out and shoot pictures and report on the damage and report on the recovery when we couldn't get on the air.
It was a temporary problem fixed by quick thinking and heavy lifting. WENY-TV Program Director at the time, John Herrick, said, But then we went up to Holly Hill where the transmitter site is. We were able to broadcast from there a very antiquated situation but we were able to do that.
Elmira Police faced health issues as mud turned to dust.
Once the rain stopped and it started to dry up now you got mud turning to sand turning to dust and we'd have dust storms. Police officers were out directing traffic in the middle of intersections and just the heat and the dust would finally knock them down and we'd have to get them off the street for a few hours.
It was an emotional time for people who worked through the event. But without their efforts, an already tragic situation would have been much worse.
I don't know if there are even words to describe what it's like to leave your hospital and you finally have your patients gone and there's nothing left here other than total disaster and you wonder if we'll ever come back but we did.
To this day, the flood of '72 remains the worst flood on record for both Elmira and Corning.

"I attempted to handle this matter in a private, respectful and fraternal manner with Bishop Gumbleton. It is unfortunate that what should have remained a private matter between two bishops of the Catholic Church has been made available for public consumption.
I want to first of all say that my decision to ask Bishop Gumbleton not to come to Marquette had absolutely nothing to do with the group who invited him to speak, Marquette Citizens for Peace and Justice, nor with the topic of his publicized speech, since the Church is a strong advocate of peace and justice. I am sorry for the negative impact this has had on those planning this event.
There is a common courtesy usually observed between bishops whereby when one bishop wishes to enter into another bishop's diocese to minister or make a public speech or appearance, he informs the local bishop ahead of time and seeks his approval. Only on October 9 did I receive any communication from Bishop Gumbleton, after this situation had already become public.
As the Bishop of the Diocese of Marquette, I am the chief shepherd and teacher of the Catholic faithful of the Upper Peninsula entrusted to my pastoral care. As such I am charged with the grave responsibility to keep clearly before my people the teachings of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals. Given Bishop Gumbleton's very public position on certain important matters of Catholic teaching, specifically with regard to homosexuality and the ordination of women to the priesthood, it was my judgment that his presence in Marquette would not be helpful to me in fulfilling my responsibility.
I realize that these were not the topics upon which Bishop Gumbleton was planning to speak. However, I was concerned about his well-known and public stature and position on these issues and my inability to keep these matters from coming up in discussion. In order that no one becomes confused, everyone under my pastoral care must receive clear teaching on these important doctrines.
I offer my prayers for Bishop Gumbleton and for all those who have been negatively affected by this unfortunate situation."
