Welp, my baptism date has finally been set. I will be received into the Church, via Baptism, on 2 DEC of this year. Of special significance to me, two days later is 4 DEC, the feat of the Entry of the Theotokos into the Temple, which is the day I was made a catechumen last year.
...you can imagine so-called healing services of the pigpen. The books that could be written, you know: Life in the Pigpen. How to Cope in the Pigpen. Being Happy in the Pigpen. Surviving in the Pigpen. And then there could be counselling, for people who feel unhappy in the pigpen, to try to get them to come to terms with the pigpen, and to accept the pigpen.
the best way of conveying God's love to people is through your own presence and deeds.
If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.
Mazel tov!

Greg Laurie Preaches on Life Beyond the Grave to More Than 28,000 at SoCal Harvest
ANAHEIM, Calif. – More than 28,000 people came out on a warm summer evening to hear evangelist Greg Laurie give the message of the gospel on the first of three nights of the SoCal Harvest event at Angel Stadium Friday. However, the Southern California pastor warned at the beginning that the subject he was about to preach on was not a comfortable one – death.
"My message title for this evening is 'I Don't Want to Talk About It," Laurie said. "That title is based on something my mom used to say whenever our conversation turned toward spiritual matters."
Laurie said his mother, who was a "dead ringer for Marilyn Monroe," had been married several times with several boyfriends in between and had problems with alcohol. He lived in a home that "was the opposite of a Christian home."
He explained, "One day, I felt strongly impressed by the Lord to go and have a conversation with my mother about her soul, as she was in very poor health. When I told her why I was there that day she again said, 'I don't want to talk about it!' But that day we did talk about it, and it resulted in my mom making a recommitment to the God she had been running from for most of her life."
After musical performances by American Idol finalist Colton Dixon and six-time Grammy Award-winner TobyMac, Laurie took to the stage setup in the infield of where the Los Angeles Angels play to deliver his trademark presentation of a clear gospel message in a culturally relevant format and drawing on the latest in current events. Laurie's Harvest events, now in their 24th year in SoCal, have drawn more than 4.7 million people to stadiums and arenas around the world since 1990.
"What happens after death? According to the Bible, the only reliable book on the afterlife, when we die we enter eternity," Laurie told those in attendance and an online audience. "The Bible teaches that there are actually two deaths. One is a physical death, the other is spiritual death. Jesus warned we are to fear the second death more than the first death.
"Here's the good news, if you are born once you will die twice, but if you are born twice you will die once … meaning if you are born physically you are going to die physically and then you are going to have that second death, you are going to die spiritually, separated from God. But if you are born twice, physically and then you are born again by believing in Jesus you will only die once, only physically because then you will go to heaven," he said while many applauded. "That is why Jesus said, 'You must be born again.'"
He added, "You know medical science seeks to add years to your life, but only Christ can add life to your years. And he will give you a life that is worth living because it is full and meaningful, and you don't need drugs and you don't need alcohol, and then you have the hope of life beyone the grave as well."
Before the event began on Friday evening, Harvest volunteers writing on the ministry's blog noted that 50 members of the Black Sheep Harley Davidson for Christ motorcycle club made an entrance into the parking lot after parading from a neighboring city motorcycle shop.
"It's a lot of fun any time you get that many bikers together," said Bob Langevin, who has volunteered at the Harvest Crusade every year for the last 11 years in positions such as stage set-up and tear-down, usher, and follow-up counselor. This year, he decided to be a guest and invite as many Harley Davidson members as possible.
"Our mission, at Black Sheep Harley Davidson for Christ, is to reach as many Harley Davidson members as we can who are not saved, bring them to an event like this and help them get saved," said Langevin with "anxious anticipation in his voice," a Harvest blogger reported.
Rock band Flyleaf and Australian group for King & Country are scheduled to perform on Saturday, and multi-platinum-selling rock band Third Day and singer/songwriter and San Diego native Phil Wickham on Sunday.
Also, Phil Robertson, the Duck Commander patriarch of A&E's popular show Duck Dynasty, is scheduled to be interviewed by Laurie during the Sunday at the event.
The 2013 SoCal Harvest is being broadcast live via the Internet at www.harvest.org. Video podcasts and blog accounts of each message will also be made available at http://blog.greglaurie.com/, as well as "behind the scenes" updates from Greg Laurie on Twitter at http://twitter.com/greglaurie and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/harvest.greglaurie.

Kim Kardashian went blonde this summer -- but she isn't dyeing to go back.
The shapely starlet who did away with her signature dark tresses last summer and lightened up her locks confessed that blondes may have more fun but when it comes to sex appeal brunettes have it in the bag.
"I went blonde last summer just to test it out. I felt like I was a different person, I swear," she told Glamour magazine. "I do think blondes have more fun, but brunettes are sexier."
The buxom former blonde dyed her hair back to dark brown at the end of the summer after she spent a month flaunting her lighter look on the red carpet.
"I'm dying [sic] my hair back dark," she wrote on her blog this summer. "Bye bye blonde, see u next summer!"
The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" starlet claimed she had lightened her do in April when she sported a blonde wig in photos she posted on the web.

Chair Hicks will call the meeting to order.
Chair Hicks will address the committee and ask for approval of the minutes from the May 27, 2010 meeting.
Proposed Action: Approval. Motion and second required.
Chair Hicks will offer opportunity for open comments concerning items on this agenda.
Open Comments: No motion required.
An individual can achieve tenure in two distinct ways: 1) tenure through the university's standard tenure review process, and 2) tenure by reason of appointment. The tenure nomination before the committee is being recommended under the tenure by reason of appointment procedures.
Under tenure by reason of appointment, senior administrators or distinguished faculty may be granted tenure upon being hired at UNF. The candidate must receive a positive vote from the relevant disciplinary department, even if the appointment is in an administrative capacity. UNF agrees to award tenure as a condition of appointment in order to be competitive in hiring these individuals. The Provost and the President also conduct a thorough review of all candidates for tenure on appointment.
Under these guidelines the administration recommends awarding tenure to Dr. Jeff Coker, the newly hired Dean of Undergraduate Studies.
The purpose of this item is to present for review and approval proposed amendments to the UNF Board of Trustees bylaws. The substantive revision includes adding a committee on Student Life and Facilities.
Vice President and General Counsel Stone will address the committee and present this item.
The purpose of this item is to present for review and approval a request for limited-access status for the Exercise Science concentration within the Health Science major.
Student interest in the Exercise Science program has grown rapidly and additional resources to increase the number of faculty in the program are not available. As a result of faculty resource limitations, this program is seeking limited-access status. When faculty resources become available, the program will attempt to accommodate all qualified students interested in the Exercise Science program.
This item was approved by the dean of the College of Health, the director of Equal Opportunity Programs and is being recommended for approval by Provost Workman and President Delaney.
Provost Workman will address the committee and discuss approval. Dr. Pam Chally, dean, Brooks College of Health will be available for questions and to make supporting comments.
The purpose of this item is to present for review and approval a proposal for a bachelor of science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics.
The Department of Nutrition and Dietetics is proposing a change in the current bachelor's degree in Health Science with a concentration in Nutrition to a bachelor's degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. The current 120 hours will remain the same and creation of the degree will not require additional funding for courses, faculty, or other program resources.
The reason for transitioning the concentration to a stand-alone degree program is to make it more representative of the degree earned and more marketable to potential Registered Dietitians. The proposed curricular changes meet the new accreditation standards of the Commission on Accreditation of Dietetics Education passed in 2007.
This item was approved by the Faculty Association and the dean of the College of Health. It is being recommended for approval by Provost Workman and President Delaney.
The purpose of this item is to present the proposed annual report on the 2010-2011 university work plan. The 2010 university work plan was presented to the Board of Trustees for approval May 2010.
Provost Workman will present the UNF 2010-2011 annual report for committee consideration and approval.
Chair Hicks will adjourn the meeting.

It has been a long time :'( A fair amount has happened, one thing being that I turned 18 on the 30th of October, despite still feeling like a 12 year old. Birthday meant money and money means clothes. Admittedly I have tried hard to fight the temptation to waste all of it on needless amounts of unnecessary clothing but that failed slightly when I entered topshop. I came out with with two items, one of them being this pink fluffy skirt. I am slightly in love with it, it's undoubtedly one of my favourite colours (hxcore) and the material is so *+'cute'+* (I hate the word cute but there is literally no other adjective to describe it). Hope you like the outfit, and the top is gifted from http://chicnova.com, decided to jump on the plaid and monochrome trend both at once hehe.
Sorry for my absence again! But if you would like to see more of my annoying face follow my instagram @immids :) Sadly I post approximately 80% of my life on there.

The wood carving center in Palembang is located on Faqih Jalaluddin Street, near the Palembang Grand Mosque. Dozens of showrooms, which are also used to give finishing touches to wood carvings, are available in this city center. Palembang wood carvings, which are identified by dark red and golden colors, are displayed along this street.
You can also find unfinished products, those which have not been softened or painted. Workers in each shop usually give their final touch before sale.
Gold is the most dominant color in Palembang carvings. It distinguishes Palembang carvings from carving products from other parts of Indonesia, such as Jepara in Central Java.
Cupboards bodies, doors, or glass, as well as picture frames are usually painted in gold color. Other parts are covered by dark red and black colors. Pictures of flowers in black make these carvings more beautiful.
Faqih Jalaluddin Street is located near the Palembang Grand Mosque, which is ground zero of the oldest city in Indonesia. You can go to Palembang by taxi or rented car from Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II International Airport on Tanjung Api-Api Street in Palembang, which is accessible from Malaysia, Singapore, China, and Thailand.
In the City Center, there are nine types of public transportation including seven city buses from various destinations that can take you to Ampera available for only Rp 1,500 to Rp 5,000 (15 cents to 50 cents US).

Stoel Rives LLP, whose energy law practice comprises close to 100 attorneys, has announced that Jon Wellinghoff, chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), will join the firm upon completion of his service at FERC.
Wellinghoff submitted his resignation to President Barack Obama in May but said he would stay at his post until a successor was appointed. Although the president nominated Ron Binz, a former chairman of the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, to take Wellinghoff's place in June, Binz later withdrew himself from consideration. According to a Bloomberg report at the time, he had faced strong opposition from Republicans claiming that he had a bias toward renewable energy over coal.

On October 10, 2008, NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott was presented with the Field Museum's Award of Merit at a ceremony at the museum, where she gave a talk, attended a gala dinner, and received a $7500 honorarium for NCSE. The award is presented by the Field Museum's Founders' Council each year to "a leading scientist who has brought issues of cultural and environmental understanding to the forefront of public attention." Previous recipients include NCSE Supporter Stephen Jay Gould, Edward O. Wilson, James Watson, Richard E. Leakey, Jane Goodall, NCSE Supporter Lynn Margulis, Walter Alvarez, and NCSE Supporter Niles Eldredge.
Randy Moore is the winner of the 2008 Evolution Education Award from the National Association of Biology Teachers, according to a press release issued on October 14, 2008, by the American Institute of Biological Sciences. The award, sponsored by AIBS and the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, recognizes innovative classroom teaching and community education efforts to promote the accurate understanding of biological evolution.
Texas's newspapers are beginning to express their editorial support of the draft set of science standards, released by the Texas Education Agency on September 22, 2008, and applauded for their treatment of evolution by the Texas Freedom Network, Texas Citizens for Science, and the newly formed 21st Century Science Coalition.
After her lawsuit challenging the Understanding Evolution website on constitutional grounds was dismissed for lack of standing on March 13, 2006, Jeanne Caldwell appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit. In a ruling dated October 3, 2008, the appeals court rejected her appeal, affirming the lower court's decision.
A new coalition of Texas scientists voiced its opposition to attempts to dilute the treatment of evolution in Texas's state science standards, which are presently undergoing revision. At a news conference in Austin on September 30, 2008, representatives of the 21st Century Science Coalition challenged the idea that students should be told that there are "weaknesses" in evolution.

Herbalife International says it's all about helping people "pursue healthy, active lives." UCLA's Geffen School of Medicine likes to think of itself as being in the forefront of medical research and modern healthcare.
But the curious relationship between these two supposed champions of healthful living should turn your stomach.
Herbalife is the Los Angeles nutritional supplement firm that has become the centerpiece of a ferocious Wall Street tug of war. The major player is hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, who contends that Herbalife is a scam to sell overpriced products by fooling people into becoming Herbalife "distributors" by implying the business will make them rich. He says he's shorted $1 billion in Herbalife shares as a bet that the company is destined to collapse. On the other side are investors who either believe Herbalife will stay a highflier, or who just want to squeeze Ackman dry. (He's not a popular chap.)
One of Ackman's accusations against the company is that it exaggerates the scientific research behind its powders and pills. That's where UCLA comes in, because Herbalife has exploited its "strong affiliation" with the medical school to give its products scientific credibility.
Those words were uttered by Herbalife CEO Michael Johnson during a 2007 conference call. In fact, Johnson seldom lets an investor event pass without mentioning UCLA, specifically the Mark Hughes Cellular and Molecular Nutrition Lab at the medical school's Center for Human Nutrition. Herbalife says it has contributed $1.5 million in cash, equipment and software to the lab since 2002. (The lab is named after Herbalife's founder, who died in 2000 after a four-day drinking binge — not the greatest advertisement for healthful, active living.)

Women's Golf Season Comes to a Close at OVC Championships
Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee State women's golf team finished the 2013 season in tenth place at the Ohio Valley Conference Championships. The third round was played with strong gusts at times under mostly sunny skies and 75 degrees on the Par-72, 5,964 yard GreyStone Golf Club in Dickson, Tenn.
"I was very proud of the effort put in by our Women's team for the OVC," said head coach Parrish McGrath. "All our players have been undergoing significant swing modifications to help us be more competitive. Our most dramatic swing improvement has been made by Sarah Needleman who is hitting her tee shots 50-75 yards farther than before and has picked up distance on her irons as well. Amelia Dap has been working on a few adjustments to her set up as well as a more restrictive putting stroke. Kelly Merkel had a taste of what it will be like to be in the mix in the OVC next year by shooting a 79 on day two. Chelsea Marlin is hitting her irons better than ever and like Sarah is learning the new distances better ball striking will provide."
Merkel (85-79-92=256) recorded seven pars on the day, including five on the front nine. Merkel tied for 38th in her first season of competition. Dap (92-88-92=272) opened the day with four consecutive pars, including a made putt from 25-feet out on the par-5, 2nd. Dap added three more pars over the final round, while hitting eight fairways and seven greens.
Needleman (95-103-97=295) recorded four pars on a day where she drove well off the tees. The freshman ran into trouble numerous times as she found the greens on the fly, but was not able to stay on the putting surface.
Marlin (109-126-109=344) saw improvement with her all-around game from day two. Marlin was able to find 12 fairways over the final 18 holes on the tournament. The freshman highlighted her round on the par-3, 16th. Her tee shot stayed pin high just three feet off the green and 20 feet from the pin. Marlin would putt from the fringe just missing a birdie as the ball rolled to within 3 inches of the hole. The Hickman native tapped in for par.
"All in all, I wanted this spring to give each golfer a better understanding of what they need to work on over the summer to improve and be more competitive and we have done that," McGrath said.

Planned Gifts & Bequests
A planned gift to WHYY can help you achieve your personal, financial, and estate planning goals while helping bring future generations the best in public media.
There are planned gifts that can reduce or eliminate taxes such as estate, income, capital gains or gift taxes. Other gift vehicles allow you to turn appreciated assets into income-producing fixed payments. We'd be happy to work with you and your advisors to help you plan a gift to WHYY that meets your needs.
Request a complimentary copy of WHYY's estate planning brochure by writing to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Bequest in your will
You can leave a legacy to WHYY when creating your will, or have your attorney add a codicil to your existing will. There are several different approaches to giving.
- One possibility is a bequest of a fixed dollar amount. You specify exactly how much you would like the station to receive.
- Many people prefer to designate the residuary estate, or a portion of it. Once other heirs are provided for, whatever may be left goes to charitable organizations like WHYY.
Sample bequest language to discuss with your attorney: "I hereby give, devise and bequeath to WHYY, Inc., a nonprofit corporation organized and operating under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with offices at Independence Mall West, 150 N. 6th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106, the sum of $_______(or ___ percent of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate) to be used for its general purposes (or for a particular area of your choosing)."
WHYY's federal tax identification number is 23-1438083.
For more information contact Robin Austin at 215-351-2019 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Beneficiary Designations
If you would like to include a gift to WHYY in your estate plans without changing your will, consider making WHYY the beneficiary of one of these:
- A life insurance policy
- Your IRA or other retirement plan
- A savings account
- A stock brokerage account or mutual fund
Simply contact your insurance agent or IRA administrator and ask for a change of beneficiary form. You might be able to get the form online. Add WHYY, 150 N. 6th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106; federal tax id number 23-1438083 as a new beneficiary to receive a portion of the death benefit/remainder.
For the bank and brokerage accounts, ask your representatives how you can make them Transfer on Death (TOD) accounts. Then name WHYY as the entity that will receive whatever remains in those accounts at your death.
For more information contact Robin Austin at 215-351-2019 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Charitable Annuity Gift
A charitable gift annuity can be established with a gift of $10,000 or more to WHYY. In exchange for your gift, WHYY will pay you, and a second beneficiary, if you wish, income for life. The income you receive is determined by the amount of your gift and your age(s).
For more information, visit our gift annuity page.
Charitable Remainder Trust
A Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) is formed by transferring assets to a trust. In most cases those assets are cash, stocks, bonds or real estate. The proceeds are reinvested, and you and/or another designated beneficiary(ies) receive income for life or a specified term of years. When the trust terminates, the trustee distributes the remaining assets to WHYY And any other charities you have designated.
There are two types of charitable remainder trusts:
- Unitrust – The income you receive is a set percentage of the value of the trust's assets, which is revalued each year.
- Annuity trust – Income payments are fixed and determined when the trust is set up. The annuity trust is most attractive to individuals who wish to avoid market risk.
Your benefits include income for life or a term of years, potential for low-yielding assets to turn into more income, a significant income tax deduction, no capital gain tax at the time of the gift if appreciated assets are used to fund the trust, potentially reduced estate taxes and probate costs.

Charitable Lead Trust
A charitable lead trust can work well for individuals who face substantial estate and gift tax liability. Income-producing assets, such as stock or real estate, are irrevocably transferred to a lead trust, which pays income to an organization like WHYY for a number of years. Following the term of the trust, the property then transfers back to other individuals – typically the donor's children or grandchildren.
This is an excellent way to transfer assets that are expected to appreciate in value to your heirs because a charitable gift/estate tax deduction is allowed for the value of the payments received by WHYY.
For more information contact Robin Austin at 215-351-2019 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Retained Life Estate
A retained life estate may give you the tax advantages that a charitable gift of real estate would offer while allowing you to continue living in your personal residence for your lifetime. Benefits include:
- Lifetime use of the residence for you and/or another person.
- Income tax savings through a charitable deduction.
- Estate tax savings for you and/or your spouse.
- Ability to gift only partial interest in property and receive tax advantages.

FAQ's – Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not wealthy. How could I have an estate big enough to make a charitable gift?
- Most people are surprised at the total value of their assets when they take into account their home, retirement plans, IRAs, personal property, cash, stocks, bonds and other investments. After providing for family and friends, it is often possible to plan a gift that is larger than you might imagine. And gifts such as Trusts or Charitable Gift Annuities can provide a donor with lifetime income, often with a higher return than many other investments.
I don't know much about planned giving. How can WHYY help me?
- A member of WHYY's Development team would be happy to discuss your planned giving questions with you – with no obligation on your part to make a gift. We can provide you with general information, which you can then discuss with your financial and/or legal advisor. WHYY will never pressure you or share your information with third parties.
How can I make a gift to WHYY through my present will?
- It's an easy process. Your attorney can simply add a "codicil" to your current will, using simple bequest language that allocates a fixed amount, a percentage of your estate or the remainder of your estate to WHYY. The correct language to use is listed in the Bequest in your Will section.
I've already made a gift to WHYY in my will, but I'm not sure if I want to remain anonymous or let WHYY know about it. How would notifying WHYY be of value to me?
- We feel strongly about expressing our gratitude to you for your gift and would like to welcome you into WHYY's Laurence LePage Society – which honors everyone who has included WHYY in his or her estate plans. Laurence LePage Society members are accorded the special recognition that goes with those who believe in sustaining lifelong learning for future WHYY generations. Your gift may also inspire others to give!

This piece of writing is dedicated to the German women of my ancestry who in the 19th century went to Russia to get a fresh start. How courageous they were, going that long distance, struggling against hardship and risking death. These were women with big hearts who were determined to realize their dream for freedom. Both the written histories and the family stories passed down speak of the pain and suffering it took breaking new ground to establish life in the new area, and how much of the responsibility rested on the shoulders of these women. Today, one can only guess what life was like then and the enormous sacrifice that was asked of these women. I was fortunate to grow up in a family that lived up to their traditions and who kept the memory of the family history alive, both before and after their life in Russia. The stories I tell are dedicated to those women who, against all odds, gave heart and soul in support of their husbands and families. I'm proud to say that we had such women in our family – I was told their stories and also spent my life living among them. These were ordinary women, whose life circumstances demanded much. What the women in my family gave was not out of the ordinary for the times in which they lived. For most, they were living ordinary lives when a turn of events challenged them with the unexpected. Their determined response to the challenge is what makes their story extra-ordinary.
My great-great-grandma Justine Wirth (1809-1875), born in South Germany, was the second oldest of five children. When she was 15 years old her mom passed away, and her dad died seven years later. Living conditions in South Germany at that time had reduced most people to poverty. Justine took in her younger sisters and brother, and provided a home for them. Living poor and with little hope for a better life in Germany, the family made the decision to leave for Russia. In 1834 Justine and her siblings made the trek to South Russia, settling in a colony in Bessarabia. Soon her two younger sisters found mates and got married. Justine and her brother moved in with them. Together the family began building a hut for shelter. It was a start, but living conditions weren't much better than the cave age.
Due to the many deaths as a result of the poor living conditions, it seemed that someone was always looking for a new wife or husband. This was not a matter that involved much choice. As long as the prospective mate could stand up and had a good pair of hands, the decision was easy. Love came cheap. Justine found a partner in August Stephan (1799-1859), a traveling tradesman who did woodwork on a makeshift lathe. Justine and August Stephan married in 1839, then settled in a nearby-village. As a wife and mother, Justine settled into her role and gave birth to eight children. Her second child, Maria Magdalena Stephan (1842-1917), at age 17 married Andreas Erfle and became my great-grandmother. Maria Magdalena and Andreas Erfle had 15 children, six of whom died at birth. As we look back at these pioneer women, we see the historic achievements that they accomplished simply by keeping their families alive.
Even though the Tsar promised aid to each settler family upon arrival, what was actually provided was generally far less than promised. The families were limited in what they could bring with them to Russia, and had very limited resources to work with once they arrived. Every piece of material of any sort was used and reused. Oma Opp often told us grandchildren how valuable a rag was. In the pioneer years there were little if any near-by markets from which to purchase goods. Even if there had been, folks had very little to trade with. They lived on what they could produce themselves. The tools and equipment supplied to them were ancient and of little use.
When they arrived in Bessarabia, the land was virgin grassland that had never been plowed. Although the topsoil was deep and of excellent quality for farming, the first challenge the farmers faced was to get rid of the weeds and the rodents. To be able to retain moisture and withstand drought, the soil needed to be deeply plowed. This was impossible with the available wooden plows that barely scratched the surface of the ground. To get rid of the weeds, the roots had to be collected by hand after the soil was tilled. On or off the field, a woman's hand was needed to help with every job. At home she had to look after her housework, the children and food preparation. That work in itself took up most of her day shift. Then she had to make time to spin yarn, weave fabric, cut and sew clothing – all without the assistance of any mechanical device. Her time to sleep was cut short – very short.
My grandma Regina "Regge" Erfle (1867-1943) was Maria Magdalena Erfle's third oldest child. Growing up on a small farm and raising a large family was hard. With their low income, her parents found it necessary to send her away as a young girl to earn a living. She worked very hard and conscientiously so as to not dishonor her family. She often told us how sad she was to not be at home with her family, but she found comfort in the Lord. The Erfle family was known to be hard working and honest - Regge should have been considered a bargain for any young man to ask for her hand in marriage. But it was not until she was 29 years old that widower and wagon maker Heinrich Opp asked Regge to be his wife. On May 9, 1896 she said yes. Heinrich already had two children under the age of five living at home. Three more children came into their marriage, of which my dad was the youngest. Heinrich and Regge Opp pooled their resources together, worked hard and saved enough money for a down payment on a place. Now they worked even harder to get ahead. Regge took the lead at home, caring for the family and with frugality saving all the money she could. Heinrich became ill from working long hours in his trade shop, and died in 1905. With five children in tow and a debt over her head, Regge was fighting a hard battle alone. Her strong will and solid character became her most important resources. She literally worked day and night to pay off the debt on their house. She did laundry, took in mending, pickled vegetables, smoked meat and was a productive field worker. She was both graceful and also gave her children the backbone they needed to succeed in life. Regge survived the Trek back to Europe in 1940 only to die of a gallbladder problem in 1943 at the age of 75 on a farm in Poland. My Oma Regina "Ahna" Opp never saw a doctor in her life. To me she was an angel.
The story of my great-great-great-grandma Anna Katharina Krämer (1794-1834) is a tragic one. She gave birth to seven children, three of whom were illegitimate, a sinful act. As a young woman, Katharina came with her parents to Teplitz, Bessarabia in 1817 and married a young black-smith Siegismund Kämmler (1798-1822). Together they made their start on a homestead. They had one child: Siegismund "Simon" Kämmler (1822-1881). When her husband died in 1822, Teplitz was in the pioneer stages of its beginning, with everybody trying to get started building a new life in an untamed area, and so was Katharina. She was in a difficult position as to what direction to take. Soon the responsibilities of taking care of an infant and working the farm without a husband became too much for her. In those days and under those circumstances, the time spent mourning for one's lost mate was short-lived. Katharina had to find a man immediately to work the farm. One day she met that man – Alexander Schaderu – someone she felt she could trust. They went to work where Katharina had left off. They became romantically involved and they lived their life as a family but without the benefit of a legal marriage. Katharina had three illegitimate children with Alexander - something that was out of character and scandalous in those days. She was lucky to not get spit at or chased out of town. Why no marriage? The family believes there was a difference in religion. Alexander was not willing to give up on his religion, nor was Katharina willing to give up on hers. There was no such thing as civil marriage in those days, and neither religion allowed a mixed marriage. Katharina likely saw her choice as an innocent one, driven by necessity, a choice that took a risk. It didn't work out. Eventually Alexander left, leaving Katharina now with four children. Katharina bravely faced the consequences of her mistake and failure. She did not give in to failure and survived the set back. Eventually she got back a respectable life when she married an honest man, Christoph Handel (1803-1868), for whom she bore three more children. One month after her last child was born, Katharina's heart stopped at the age of 40. Katharina paid her dues. I cannot condemn her conduct as shameful or sinful. Each soul encounters many challenges; with some we succeed and with others we don't. We are human. The church agreed to allow her three illegitimate children to take the name of her first husband, Kämmler – this was an act of conciliation and gave the children dignity. Her firstborn son Siegismund "Simon" Kämmler (b. 1822) grew up to be one of Teplitz' great citizens. Thanks to the leadership of "Simon" Kämmler, Teplitz became a better place to live. "Simon" Kämmler died at the age of 59 of "men's illness" – apparently prostate disease. "Simon" Kämmler's daughter Maria Kämmler (1855-1916) married Jakob Zacher and became my great-grandmother
Alfred Opp is the author of "Pawns on the World Stage" - the memoirs of his childhood in Teplitz, Bessarabia and the experiences of his family in war-torn Europe (Poland during 1941-1945 before they fled to East Germany in 1945, then the reconstruction of West Germany 1945-1955).

Balmy weather made Vermont feel more like California at the 28th annual US Open Snowboarding Championships, where Europeans Mikkel Bang (NOR) and Sina Candrian (SUI) each took home $20,000 and top slopestyle honors. Both riders are new to the top spot of the US Open slopestyle podium, adding a coveted title to their career highlights.
"It's my seventh year coming here to the US Open and the first time I've made it to the slopestyle podium," says Mikkel Bang. "All of the top riders are here, which makes it even more special to win. This really is the perfect ending of the season for me."
Mikkel Bang won his first US Open slopestyle title with authority when he took the lead in his first run, then topped it with a nearly perfect 98.00 on his second run, which included a Cab 1080, switch backside 1260 indy and a frontside 1080 on the jumps. The battle for second and third place podium spots went down to the final run of the competition when Ulrik Badertscher (NOR) upset the podium line-up with a strong run that included a backside 900, Cab 900 nosegrab and a backside 1080 late cork finishing with a 50/50 to a double front flip off the canon feature, which also scored him the AMP Energy Best Trick award. After sitting in second for a few runs, Sebastien Toutant (CAN) got bumped to third place by a few fractions of a point following Ulrik's final run.
In the women's competition, Sina Candrian grabbed the lead with her first run and held onto it, topping her own score in the third run of the finals. Sina's best scoring run included a Cab 540, frontside 720 and a backside 360 on the jumps. Coming in second was New Zealander Shelly Gotlieb, who earned a spot on the podium with her last run that featured a Cab 540, backflip and a backside 720. Former US Open slopestyle champion Jamie Anderson earned third place and Lisa Wiik (NOR) took home the AMP Energy Best Trick for her backside 720 indy.
"Today was really my day because my runs kept getting better and better," said Sina Candrian. "The features were perfectly shaped and the course was fun to ride – it's amazing to win here and I'm so happy that it put me in the lead for the women's TTR title."
More action is in store tonight at the US Open with the 'Black & Night Jam', starting at 7:15 pm followed by Rahzel and JS-1 playing a free concert at 9:00 pm – all taking place at Stratton Mountain's Sun Bowl area.
Tomorrow at the US Open is one of the biggest days in snowboarding, with four major titles up for grabs, including the coveted US Open halfpipe crown, a new Volvo for the top male and female overall riders, the women's and men's 2010 Burton Global Open Series (BGOS) Championship titles and the men's Swatch TTR World Tour Championship title, which Peetu Piiroinen (FIN) already secured for the second straight year. Sina Candrian's win today puts her in the lead for the women's Swatch TTR World Tour Championship title.
If you can't make it to Stratton, you can watch the US Open on ABC on March 27 at 5:00 pm EST and 3:00 pm PST. Also be sure to check out the US Open live on GO211.com.

ok.... i'm gonna do a little research... The stuff you all posted in the other thread looks like it's gonna help me a lot. I would also like to apologise for poor phrasing and general stupidity when all i really wanted to do is help make my website more secure.
The site is being developed using win XP and 98, depending on which pc I'm logging on to. I will also be using html, java, and some other scripting (maybe perl) to give it the touches I need... If that helps anybody to give me advice... I'm all ears (so to speak).

Fuel cost briefing
Cost of Driving. A briefing explaining the amount of money that consumers could save if the EU introduced strong car fuel efficiency targets. (Published May 2012)
New laws in Europe could cut CO2 from cars in half by 2025, and send a message to the wider world, especially in the American and Chinese markets. But some car makers are opposed to the laws and are trying to block them. Volkswagen was one of the worst offenders, using its power to lobby politicians against emissions targets. But over half a million people told VW to change, and VW has now publicly agreed to live up to its promises to be the world's greenest car company, setting an example for the rest of the industry.
More efficient cars will also save drivers money on fuel. Car owners in Europe could save around a quarter of the money they spend each year.
Strong targets in the EU could also make Europe a leader in green car production, driving new jobs. But if some car makers get their way, we risk remaining dependent on expensive, imported oil to fuel our cars.
Europe is dependent on imported oil, and as conventional sources of oil produce less, our thirst for oil to fill up our cars is driving unconventional oil exploration, from deep water, tar sands and the Arctic.
Cutting car emissions won't just cut pollution - it will reduce the demand for oil worldwide. That means there will be less incentive to drill in pristine environments like the Arctic.
Achieving strong laws in Europe is crucial. We have a chance to change the combustion engine forever, drastically reduce pollution from cars, and their impact on fragile and beautiful parts of the world like the Arctic.

Two former JPMorgan Chase & Co. employees were charged by U.S. prosecutors with attempting to conceal trading losses at the largest U.S. bank last year as part of a probe of its $6.2 billion loss on derivatives bets.
Javier Martin-Artajo, a former executive who oversaw the trading strategy at the bank's chief investment office in London, and Julien Grout, a trader who worked for him, were charged with conspiracy, wire fraud and making false filings in complaints unsealed today in Manhattan federal court. The two men engaged in a scheme to falsify securities filings between March 2012 and May 2012, according to the government.
JPMorgan Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon characterized the $6.2 billion loss as "the stupidest and most-embarrassing situation I have ever been a part of." First disclosed in May 2012, the bad bets led to an earnings restatement, a U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing and probes by the Securities and Exchange Commission and U.K. Financial Conduct Authority.
Dimon, 57, whose own pay was cut in half, pushed out senior executives including former Chief Investment Officer Ina Drew, who oversaw the London unit where the loss took place. The bank said it clawed back more than $100 million in pay from employees who were involved with, or oversaw, the trade.
'London Whale'
Bruno Iksil, the Frenchman at the center of the case who became known as the "London whale" because his portfolio was so large, has been aiding the FBI and federal prosecutors for months in their probe as part of an agreement with the government for leniency, three people with direct knowledge of the situation said.
Martin-Artajo and Grout, both of whom are not in the U.S., are charged with four counts, including conspiracy to falsify books and records, commit wire and falsify securities filings, falsifying books and records, wire fraud and making false filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Prosecutors in the office of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in Manhattan said the men manipulated and inflated the value of the position marks in the Synthetic Credit Portfolio, or SCP, which had been very profitable for the bank.
In 2009 it made more than $1 billion for JPMorgan, according to the government. From at least March 2012 until May 2012, the two men allegedly faked the value of position marks in the SCP in "order to obtain specific profit and loss objectives," the government said.

Gov. John Kasich, Mayor Michael Coleman Recall Feelings of Unity After 9/11
ANNOUNCER: "The mayor of the City of Columbus, Mayor Michael B. Coleman."
COLEMAN: "It was a very tough day for our nation. But you know, in times of crisis, that's when we come together. And that's when we come together in a way like we never have before. I don't want us to lose the spirit that we had of unity…that we had during that period of time after 9/11. We came together on the steps of City Hall. Many of you can remember. Where elected officials, civic leaders, religious leaders stood there, white, black, Republican, Democrat. It didn't matter, because we were all Americans...Muslims, Jews, everybody...stood there together and we said we stand here tonight because we love our country and we are going to take care of each other."
ANNOUNCER: "And now it is my pleasure to ask for our governor of this great state of Ohio to come up and say a few words."
KASICH: "Today we gather to mourn a great loss -- not the loss of our spirit but the loss of so many great Americans, who were caught in an effort to puncture and destroy the soul of the United States. And boy, do I agree with the mayor. We are a great country. We face many challenges. We are too divided. A house divided against itself will not stand, is what our great President Abraham Lincoln said. We have to unite...Republicans and Democrats and liberals and conservatives. And we have to unite to build a stronger America. The Lord wants it, because the Lord wants us to carry out our destiny -- to be a bright light and a shining example to the rest of the world about freedom and individual rights and the ability of people to realize their God given purposes and destinies.
ANNOUNCER: "Brigadier General John C. Harris."
HARRIS: "That was a day when parents picked up their children from school for no other reason than they just wanted to hold them. They weren't even sure why. And I can imagine that when they picked up their children from school, on that day, the make, model, how fancy their car was, just really didn't matter. Suddenly the square footage of our homes didn't matter so much to us. We saw the very best in each other in contrast to assuming the very worst."

NFL Free Agency has begun ( check out our Free Agency Tracker here ) and we're taking a look at which players each team and division needs to pick up to improve in the 2012 season.
NFC North
Chicago Bears (8-8)
The Bears are in win-now mode – very, very win-now mode. Four of their defensive stalwarts – Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs, Julius Peppers and Charles Tillman – are in their 30s. It's conceivable this defense could be elite for another three years, but Chicago would be smart to stockpile some youth on that side of the ball. While adding Mario Williams is unlikely, just imagine how sick – and by "sick," I mean "absurdly good" – that Bears defense would be.
The good news for Chicago is that they have about $30 million of cap space, and some of those funds should be – and likely will be – spent on giving Jay Cutler better weapons in the receiving game. Adding the likes of Vincent Jackson and Marques Colston would put this team over the top.
Detroit (10-6)
The Lions made the playoffs last year for the first time this century. That was step one. Step two is winning a game once they get there again.
The Detroit passing attack is one of the best in football. In fact, it ranked fourth in the league last year. The ground game, however, was one of the worst in football, ranking 29th. The Lions' leading rusher? Jahvid Best with 390 yards. Ouch. Kevin Smith followed with 356; Maurice Morris followed with 316.
Translation: Detroit needs a reliable, durable tailback.
The Lions also finished outside the top 20 in rush defense, pass defense and total defense. With Ndamukong Suh wreaking havoc on the interior, Detroit could use a playmaker in the secondary. Top draft options include Virginia Tech's Jayron Hosley and Alabama's Mark Barron.
Bottom line? Detroit is a team with talent, but it needs to learn how to handle – and sustain success. After starting 5-0 last season, the Lions went 5-7 in their final 12 games (including the playoffs).
Minnesota (3-13)
Last season, well, yeah, that was pretty bad.
The Vikings started 0-4, 1-7 and lost seven of their last eight. Donovan McNabb was cast aside and Christian Ponder, who showed occasional flashes, played as one might expect a 23-year-old quarterback.
Speaking of quarterbacks, how about the Vikings as a dark horse for the Peyton Manning sweepstakes?
Minnesota is a virtual lock to draft USC offensive tackle Matt Kalil – a move that would open up holes for a hopefully healed Adrian Peterson and help protect Ponder, Manning or any other quarterback under center. Minnesota should also make a move for Vincent Jackson. Pairing him with Percy Harvin would be a formidable 1-2 punch.
Defensively, the Vikings, which finished 26th against the pass, should make a play for Cortland Finnegan.
Bottom line? Minnesota needs to make moves – and plenty of them – if it hopes to contend in this division in the near future.
Green Bay Packers (15-1)
The Packers are 21-2 in their last 23 games.
What else is there to say?
There's not much that needs a great deal of improvement – aside from the defense, which statistically was the worst in the league. Green Bay could use a more consistent ground game – especially if Ryan Grant leaves – but defense is the main issue, especially pass defense.
The Packers are losing Matt Flynn, so don't be surprised if they draft a replacement, but make no mistake: those early round picks will be spent on players who can stop people.

A Commitment to Excellence in Pet Health care
We are a full-service veterinary facility providing services to the Jacksonville, Florida, and surrounding areas. Our commitment to excellence in veterinary care has led us to become certified by the American Animal Hospital Association and extends to a long tradition of community involvement. It is our goal to help educate and promote responsible pet ownership. We want to make sure our clients play an active role in their pet's veterinary care.
In addition to dogs and cats, Fleming Island Pet Clinic has a special interest in the care and treatment of small and exotic pets, including:
- Ferrets
- Rabbits
- Guinea pigs
- Rats
- Mice
- Hedgehogs
- Some Reptiles
Our veterinarians — Dr. Randa Antar, Dr. Alanna Lowry, Dr. Kathy Knight, and Dr. Teresa Manucy — are all dedicated experts who believe in treating our clients with compassion and respect as well as delivering only the highest quality veterinary care.
Dr. Lowry is very knowledgeable and thorough in her assessment of my pets. She always takes her time and explains possible conditions as well as diagnostic and treatment options. I trust her care and know my pets are truly in the best hands!
I have been coming for years to this office and my pets are always treated like family. Very caring and compassionate staff!
I am always confident Randolph and Gretchen are going to get the best care available. Great people!
Reasonable pricing for everything, to include overnight boarding. Excellent staff and very clean spaces.
FIPC has ALWAYS addressed my concerns and taking very good care of ALL my animals!
Clean, friendly, understanding and prices are reasonable. The staff and doctors/Vets make a stressful situation easier to handle.
Thank you for many years of taking care of our 'fur family'
Always caring for our pets. I have recommended the clinic on many occasions to families that were looking for a vet to care for their family members.
Very happy with how my four legged daughter is taken care of every time we have an appointment.
We always get great service and care for our three pets. Dr. Curtis spend a good deal of time examining/diagnosing our cat, Minnie on a recent visit even recommending a feeding plan for our dog, Lucy.
While other veterinary offices are closer to my home, it is important to me to take my pets to a knowledgeable vet, regardless of the distance. I am very happy with the care my rabbit was given and I will be back with my other rabbit as well. Thank you for the excellent level of care.
Very friendly and knowledgable!
We have been going to the clinic for over three years now, since the day we brought our pound puppies home. They have had multiple visits to the clinic from rashes, to knee surgery. The staff at the clinic is incredible and I tell everyone I can.
As bird owners, we are encouraged to find a pet clinic which can and does address the concerns that we have regarding Bandit.
Our veterinarian, Dr. Antar, is the absolute best! She has stood by us through some truly difficult times and I couldn't imagine trusting my pets with someone else at this point.
Friendly and clean environment. Dr. Lowry is truly an expert, she provides good and useful information on every visit.
You are kind, considerate, knowledgeable. You always are kind and treat my pet with consideration of feelings and I always feel better when I leave. I always recommend your clinic to everyone that has a pet. Thank you for being so kind.
You were the only vet that would see Pretty. So we will be keeping her there. She was in pain and you were the only ones that helped her.
We've had multiple visits and have boarded Bandit for the past 4+ years. Never had any problems or left with more questions than answers. Had a couple urgent bird issues (illness/injury) that were handled expertly and with greatest care by all.
Your staff and vet are outstanding!
The visit involved boarding our pet. However, I am always pleased with the service, staff, care and attention.
Because you have been taking care of our pets since 2002 and I trust no one else to do so.
I have been a client of Fleming Island Pet Clinic since 2000. The doctors and staff are wonderful and caring. I have taken all three of my dogs there for routine care, injuries and even end of life care for my best friend Lucky Dog.
You have taken great care of my pets over the last 15 years or longer and I have never had a problem with anyone there. Dr. Lowry is the nicest, most compassionate veterinarian I know.
Have been visiting this Vet for Over 25 years. Great staff!
Caring, courteous, and professional. Because of this we travel over an hour to get there.
There is an emphasis on client education and customer service. The facility is the cleanest I've ever seen and the veterinarians are up to date on all the latest techniques.
We've been bringing our pets to y'all for years and will continue to do so for years to come. Everyone is always so friendly, and they definitely care about their patients.
Overall excellent
The doctors and staff, in the many years I have been bringing my pets to your clinic, have always treated us and our pets with the greatest care, courtesy and expertise.
Being new pet owners we had basic questions regarding bathing, food & shots. All of our questions were not just answered but also in a way that we could understand.
Love the atmosphere at the location. Felt already part of the family!
Dr. Curtis was wonderful! It was very professional but at the same time, I felt comfortable to ask questions and even joke!
Outstanding Service - Tour was great! Thank you for the "tic" bath for Chloe! Starter kit was very nice.
I had a puppy and the Tech that was the one to help us had just helped a diseased animal and didn't want to contaminate him. I was appreciative of the concern.
You have been very consistent with your care over the many years I have taken my pets here.
I was beyond impressed with the facility and staff. I was very comfortable leaving my bunny "Karl" there for her surgery. The facility was clean and the staff was friendly and well-trained. I loved Dr. Lowry. She was personable and had a "great bed-side manner" with the patient's owners! I only wished that I lived closer so that I could come all the time with all my pets.
Chaz was boarded for 4 nights and I knew he would be in good hands.
I've been using this pet clinic for more than 20 years and myself and my babies have always been treated with love, concern and extreme consideration! I have and always will recommend this clinic to all my friends, family and anyone else!
Very receptive and attentive staff, we look forward to seeing you often!
I rate you as 5 Star! I know I can board my feathered friend and leave town on vacation confident that he will receive the best care! If any health emergency did arise, Dr. Curtis would be there to help him!
I was impressed with how professional and clean the building is. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and seemed to really care about my pet and assisting me to provide the best care. I feel my pet will be safe under the care of this facility.
For all of the reasons I stated Strongly Agree in the statements above. Could not be happier with the attention and care my pets have received! Staff across the board are top notched.
I have total confidence in Dr. Curtis from the way she handles our beloved parrot, to the thoroughness of exams and recommendations to maintain his good health. The staff is very friendly and also extremely competent.
We have been taking our pets to Fleming Island Pet Clinic for many years. We have been very satisfied with the services that our pets have received.
I felt the vet tech and doctor had shown love for my pet and put my mind at ease and if no improvement then come back sooner, and my Elvis (bird) did recover from a sprang leg. I will be coming back for my feathered friends.
You guys are a wonderful and caring team... thank you for all you do.
