11 Million Australian Newspaper Pages Now Online
We've just added 11.4 million pages of Australian newspaper records to our collections. The records are now available for free at MyHeritage SuperSearch.
Including over 700 Australian newspapers, this phenomenal collection, digitized by the Trove (The National Library of Australia), covers newspapers from 1803 to the mid-20th century. Each Australian state and territory are represented, although the bulk of the collection consists of newspapers from New South Wales and Victoria.
Search the Australian Newspaper collection now
This collection is a treasure trove of information for all Australian researchers — or those with Australian heritage — looking to add to the rich fabric of their family history and fill in missing details. Newspapers are fantastic sources of genealogical and family history information. Birth, marriage and death announcements, and obituaries found in newspapers are commonly used resources for genealogy. However, your ancestors may also be mentioned in articles on local news and events (i.e. social, community, school, sport, or business related events).
In the next few months, we will add 5 million new pages to this collection. This collection will also soon be matched with all family trees on MyHeritage.
Here are a few interesting examples from the collection: Continue reading "11 Million Australian Newspaper Pages Now Online" »
MyHeritage is Adding Free DNA Matching
We have some good news for the genealogy community.
We are constantly developing new ways to advance genealogy through the latest technological innovations. One of the most exciting frontiers in family history research is DNA and today's announcement reflects a major step by MyHeritage in this important area.
DNA and traditional genealogy methods, such as family trees and historical records, go hand in hand. DNA can sometimes help where traditional research encounters a dead end, while traditional genealogy is often required to pinpoint an exact relationship path discovered by DNA.
While we have been offering DNA test kits for a few years — through partnerships — and will continue to do so, we are now developing a new DNA Matching service. This service will enable people who have already tested their DNA through DNA testing services (such as 23andMe, Family Tree DNA, and AncestryDNA) to enjoy MyHeritage's exceptional matching capabilities for their family history research, and get more value from the DNA test they already took. We invite such users to export their raw DNA data from the service they tested on (which is straightforward) and import this data to MyHeritage now, so that when our DNA Matching service is released soon, they will receive matches immediately, and at no cost. Later on, DNA Matching may become a premium feature, but it will remain free for users who upload their DNA data now.

Meet the Team: Maor and Maayan Cohen
Visitors to the MyHeritage office often do a double take when they walk past the development offices. Only a few doors from each other sit twin brothers Maor and Maayan. They swear that they're not identical twins but, looking at them, you would never guess it.
Maor was the first to interview at MyHeritage back in December 2011, but he joined the company after his brother, Maayan. Maor couldn't immediately leave his position at a different company, but suggested Maayan as another candidate for the MyHeritage development team. "I told them that I have a very similar looking and talented brother who would be very interested," Continue reading "Meet the Team: Maor and Maayan Cohen" »
Our Volunteers: Viktor finds his family
MyHeritage volunteer, Viktor Langer, 52, lives in the small spa village of Teplice nad Becvou in Moravia, the Czech Republic – with his wife, Blanka. They have three children – ages 19, 20, and 25.
Thanks to MyHeritage and especially to its online family websites, Viktor is in more frequent contact with many members of his large family. They have become regular visitors to his family site and have been a great help in updating the contents.
He was so pleased with his family history research using MyHeritage that, in 2009, when he received an offer from the MyHeritage translation team to translate the website into his native Czech language, he didn't hesitate for a second. Continue reading "Our Volunteers: Viktor finds his family" »
MyHeritage Reunites Two Brothers Separated for 65 Years
"I can't tell you what it means to finally meet my brother after 65 years."
At MyHeritage, we regularly hear from our users about life-changing discoveries they have made about their families using our website. Today we share with you a truly exceptional story, and one that we had the privilege of taking part in as it unfolded. This is the story of two brothers separated as young children in post-World War II Europe. They hadn't seen one another in 65 years — until MyHeritage reunited them.

Introducing the MyHeritage Community: Receive help or help others
We often come across stumbling blocks in our genealogy research, such as an old letter in a language we don't understand, a mysterious family photo in which we cannot identify the people, or a particular ancestor for whom we cannot find any information. Help from others can make all the difference in breaking through these genealogical brick walls.
"MyHeritage Community" is the name of a new, much-needed Questions & Answers hub for our users to collaborate and help each other in typical genealogy quests such as locating long-lost relatives, translating historical documents, deciphering illegible handwriting, identifying unknown people in photos, or searching for elusive ancestors. It's built as an image-oriented forum, integrated into the MyHeritage website (so you don't need to sign up separately for it), it can be a game-changer for your research, and it's totally FREE.

MyHeritage Launches Book Matching
We're excited to announce the release of a revolutionary new technology — Book Matching — perhaps our best technology yet. Book Matching automatically researches individuals found in family trees on MyHeritage in our vast collection of digitized historical books. Unique to MyHeritage, the innovative new technology uses semantic analysis to understand every sentence in every page in the digitized books, in order to find matches with very high accuracy. Book Matching has already produced over 80 million new matches for our users! Every match is a paragraph from a book specifically about the person in the family tree, providing direct access to that paragraph and the ability to browse through the rest of the book.
With Book Matching, you'll discover fascinating family information that you would not find otherwise. You may even discover new relatives and ancestors. Use this information to expand your family tree and add color to it.
By way of background, we first launched SuperSearch™, our search engine for historical records, in 2012. In December 2015, the collection of digitized historical books was added to SuperSearch™. Very recently, we've tripled the books in the Compilation of Published Sources from 150,000 to 450,000 books, with a total of 91 million pages. We've assembled a team of hard-working curators and plan to add hundreds of millions of additional pages of digitized books to the collection each year.

I agree but that looks a lot like what I said:
I understand your point and I partly agree but to say "if you want to be an engine programmer don't make an engine" sounds a lot like a zen monk saying "you'll be ready when you'll be ready".
Not exactly. The word "engine" is very very abused in game programming. An "engine" is a set of tools and API that allow an "integrator" to put together a game. In order to become good at making engines you need to understand what things make an engine good or bad, and, contrary to naive belief, that hasn't much to do with performances (up to a point).
To become good at designing a clear software interface means being able to avoid things such as making variable XY a public field of class Z when a bogus value of XY could crash the entire game.. this isn't some kind of "magic wisdom" that comes as a gift from above to some lucky developers, it's just sign of experience made by making that same mistake over and over again.. so now you know better and design software in a more robust way.
Every game is an engine.. that's what people mean when they go "make games not engines"... but the difference between a game and an engine is that a game has "computable values": is it finished? does it work? does it crash? is it fun? An "engine" is a never ending tale with no real tangible elements to judge it.
A game becomes and engine when some of its part can be reused.. but what's the point in reusing something that isn't even working in one single game?
I see this mistake over and over on the internet... I will do a game engine that does this this and that and people will use it to make games.. no they won't, unless you prove it's actually able to deliver.
sorry to go a bit OT from your original question but the line I quoted deserved a dedicated answer.
focusing on a game is great because:
- you understand how to do something.
- you have code working in practice, not in theory
- you learn what to do and (more important) what NOT to do to build a flexible component
The only difference is I think "a game isn't an engine". First of all different games require different features and to focus on a game won't automaGically deliver reusable components. Example: a few years ago I wrote an ENGINE for mobile games in java and at that time Nokia Serie40 1.0 dominated the market. Because of size limitations ( 180kb memory on VM and 64kb jar size) I had to strip down the code by taking ugly shortcuts. I had exactly 8 sprites on screen so I created an array with fixed size 8 in the main class then removed the sprite factory and manually loaded them at startup. As of AD 2011 (but also 2005) if you are creating a set of sprites with a new inside a for loop and then you have to take care of them all you have is a sprite class, not an engine. Yes the class can be awesome but still that isn't an engine: it's a sprite class.
To stretch this to the extreme, 100k of spaghetti code can turn out to be an entertaining game, but no way this is even remotely an engine.

Steve Spurrier and the South Carolina Gamecocks finished off the 2011 season with a bang by winning the Capital One Bowl by a score of 30-13 over Nebraska.
The win increased the Gamecocks win total to 11 wins on the season, which happens to be the first time in school history.
There are a lot of big things happening right now in South Carolina football. The program has 20 total wins over the past two seasons, which is the most in a two-year stretch for the Gamecocks. They'll return a lot of their offensive firepower from this season and plenty of talent on the defensive side as well. They also have Coach Spurrier and the majority of the coaching staff returning.
Expectations are running high in Columbia, and there's plenty of reasons to be optimistic for the 2012 season coming up.

Excellent 4.4 /5 from 35 reviews
Piano di Sorrento where this hotel is located is very central if you are visiting Amalfi Coast area. Staff is very helpful. Rooms are big with great air conditioning. Mattresses are a bit too firm and bathrooms are small and could use some renovations. However, this hotel was a great value.
Everything was close and very convenient
The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the train station and generally has quiet surroundings with good views of the hilltops. The room was spacious, we had a double bed (two twins pushed together) and a little single bed. The room had a little safe and a fridge (which was good for us as we made our own lunches to save some cash!) The reception desk is very helpful and gives you information on all the train and bus times in and out of Sorrento, and how to get to areas such as Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Capri. Breakfast was very good, selection of pastries, cakes, little mini toasts, spreads and yoghurts, definitely can fill up for the day there One criticism was the wi-fi reception, which was good in the lobby/breakfast area, but we had terrible reception in our room. We were living off drips and drabs whilst planning our adventures. Our room was tucked away in the corner, so this may have been why, hopefully most other rooms would have good coverage, but ours was disappointing All in all, we were very comfortable in this hotel and would recommend to anyone visiting the Sorrento are
Perfect 3 days in Rome. Amazingly well located and walk-able from all major attractions in Rome. Would definitely stay again.
The staff was incredibly accomodating. I was so happy with this hotel and I would choose to stay here again the next time I visit Sorrento.

Just pulled my first one. This is an ideal variety to fry as most tend to get smaller in the frying pan. However, 2 might be more than your plate can handle.

What are the pros? NOT- slimey or woody
What are the cons? NONE
I'm a subsistence backyard homesteader and THIS is the best okra to grow through the hot, humid, and now drought prone season. I've grown many different cultivars looking for one that could appeal to this transplanted Yankee. Traditional Clemson was so slimey it was inedible, and if not picked within a short window might as well have been pine cones.
Excellent Sauteed, stir fried, roasted, grilled, deep fried, even raw if you pick them small. They hold up to canning, pickling, freezing, like a 'preppers' dream
I harvested close to 30 pounds this past season from only 12 plants. We all got tired of eating them long before they were done.
THOSE I let dry on the stalks and vac-packed the seed to use this winter as a stew & soup ingredients.
Couldn't save the seed as they had surely cross pollinated with the other okra I grew.
I'm recommending this cultivar for the 2015 summer bulk seed distribution of our community food resilience organization, Grow Gainesville

What are the pros? Tasty. Plentiful.
What are the cons? Too tall in Earth Box
Good eatin'.
Size too tall for my preference.
Mine grew ~ 10' tall and the root system was larger than shorter varieties, thus it stressed the Earth Box by stretching it's width. Also kept blowing over in the breeze.
I recommend it for in ground garden -- not for containers.

I grew this a couple of yrs ago. My plants got easily to 10-15' high! course I watered and babied them! Excellent taste and beautiful plants. I had to wait til the next spring to dig up the "trunks" of the plants b/c they grow big like tree trunks! Saved seed of the last picking; dried and planted. Want some fresh seed this yr...great okra plant! Unusual and tasty...

We have been growing this for a while now and can't say enough good about it. It's not as slimy as others, awesome for batter fried because it's much wider and has almost a nutty taste! We give extra to the church and they all beg for more. A must try for anyone who loves Okra!

A Queens rabbi gets a little goofy for a good cause.
Unless you've been living in a cave, and particularly if you're on Facebook, as I am, you've no doubt been (wait for the pun!) deluged with brief videos of people like me pouring buckets of ice water over their heads, or, more commonly, having someone else do the pouring. Were I to stop here, and you were, indeed, unaware of this phenomenon, you might simply think that it was some kind of fraternity initiation rite, or maybe a practical joke that had caught on.
But the reality, of course, is that what has come to be referred to as the "Ice Bucket Challenge" is a wildly successful fundraising project for the foundation that funds research in the fight against ALS, or what is commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. It is also one of the great examples of the power of viral videos on social media to impact the lives that we lead.
ALS is, according to the ALS Foundation's definition, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. People with ALS gradually lose control over their muscles, to the point where they are paralyzed and wheelchair-bound, and incapable of communicating, eating, or taking care of their bodily needs. It is an awful illness, even within the pantheon of awful illnesses, and the research to find a cure deserves to be generously funded.
I'm not sure what marketing genius conceived of the Ice Bucket Challenge, but essentially, those challenged to do it are bid to contribute to the Foundation, or, within twenty-four hours, pour a bucket of freezing cold water over their heads. Almost everyone so challenged both contributes and takes the challenge, and in so doing, is empowered to challenge selected others to submit themselves to the same deal. As of this writing, the ALS Association has raised close to $23 million dollars from the challenge. By any standards, that is a lot of money, and the project has been a huge success. Not only has it raised enormous amounts of money; it has also increased awareness of the disease, and the need to find a cure. A true win-win.
Having been challenged by a wonderful young woman who grew up in my synagogue in Forest Hills (I guess I should say "her" synagogue!), I was delighted to comply, both with the video of my dousing, a donation to the Foundation and an invitation to a few colleagues and family members to do the same. This is all good.The word is spread, the money comes in, and the project continues.
But the truth is that I was well aware of the ravages of ALS long before the Ice Bucket Challenge. A good friend from both Forest Hills and the Camp Ramah in the Berkshires family, Charley Braunfeld, was diagnosed with ALS four years ago. Since then, with his health steadily and seriously deteriorating, his wonderful family created what they call "Charley's Angels," and have worked tirelessly and creatively to stage events raising money for the ALS Foundation. Charity walks, ice cream get-togethers, Charlie's Angels t-shirt sales, anything to bring in money to fight this disease. Before the Ice Bucket Challenge became "the thing to do," Charlie's Angels had raised more than $22,000 this year. If you'd like to see what one dedicated family has done without fanfare, check out their site.
In my own rabbinate and in my private life, I have never been a big fan of programming "shtick." I'm sure it's a product of my very Litvak upbringing, and that often drier-than-dry Jewish education that informed my Jewish identity in its most formative years. I like to keep it real, and I want people to encounter authenticity and tradition when they find their way to Judaism. As you might imagine, this makes me something of a dinosaur in the non-Orthodox Jewish world, where so much effort is devoted to making Judaism appealing to the alienated populations of the community.
But even the most hard-wired Litvak is obliged to learn the lessons of social media, which is the 21st century version of what Stephen Sondheim famously referred to as "the art of making art." It's not only the product that matters; it's getting people to buy it, and support it.
Having been re-awakened to the importance of supporting the effort to find a cure for ALS via the Ice Bucket Challenge, I would be remiss if I didn't take this opportunity to pay tribute to people like the Braunfelds, and all the family members of those suffering from ALS, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, Parkinson's Disease, and every other devastating illness whose research arms are desperately in need of funding. You do your great work outside of the bright glare of celebrity spotlights, but you are truly the stars of those stories yet to be written: How the cures to these terrible diseases will ultimately be found.
Rabbi Gerald C. Skolnik is the spiritual leader of the Forest Hills Jewish Center in Queens.

SALT LAKE CITYBack-to-back three-run innings by the Tucson Padres aided the team to a 10-6 win over the Salt Lake Bees Monday at Spring Mobile Ballpark. The victory was the team's sixth in the past nine games. The Bees scored first in The Opening inning on a throwing error by Padres pitcher Josh Spence. Luis Jimenez hit an infield single back to Spence who attempted to underhand the ball to third baseman Jedd Gyorko, but the ball went under a moving Gyorko into foul territory, allowing two runs to score. Ed Lucas increased Salt Lake's lead to 3-0 with a solo home run in the second.
The Padres answered with thee runs in the top of the third to tie the game. Andy Parrino began the scoring with an RBI single to right field followed by back-to-back sacrifice flies by Gyorko and Matt Clark. Rocky Gale put Tucson ahead 4-3 in the fourth inning when he hit a RBI double over the left fielder's head. Daniel Robertson scored Gale on a triple to right field and Parrino brought home Robertson on an RBI single to give the Padres a 6-3 lead. Robertson finished the night with four hits and three runs scored, falling a home run shy of a cycle.
Tucson scored once more in the fifth on another RBI double by Gale. In the eighth inning the Padres scored three runs highlighted by Gyorko's 24th home run of the season over the left field wall. The Bees responded with three runs in the bottom half of the inning led by a two-run home run by Jimenez.

San Antonio Missions 0 – Corpus Christi Hooks 3
Key Stats: RHP Josh Geer 5IP, 9H, 3ER, BB, 6Ks; 3B Edinson Rincon 2-3, 2B; Nate Freiman and Cody Decker one single each.
One bad inning was all it took. Geer gives up three runs in the fourth and it was game over. The Missions could only muster up four hits, half of them by Rincon, and no walks, as the recent struggles continue.
The lobsided loss came against Ross Seaton who had given up at least four earned runs in three of his last four starts, one of which was against the Missions. However it was his day today, the right hander went 7 innings, allowing 4 hits, 0 walks and 9 strikeouts. Galvez was the biggest culprit going 0-4 with three strikeouts.
Lake Elsinore Storm 4 – Lancaster Jethawks 12
Key Stats: RHP Matt Lollis 3IP, 7H, 8R, 7ER, BB, 4Ks; 1B Tommy Medica 2-5 2B, HR (18), 2 RS, 2 RBI (84).
Lollis gets shelled as the Storm find themselves two back with a week left although Tommy Medica is having one of the better seasons in the organization.
Fort Wayne TinCaps 1 – Lansing Lugnuts 5
Key Stats: RHP Colin Rea 5IP, 9H, 2BB, 0K; RF Yeison Asencio 1-4, RS, 2 outfield assists.
LANSING, Mich. – A three-run home run by Lansing slugger Kevin Patterson was all the offense the Lugnuts would need as they rolled to their second consecutive victory, a 5-1 win over the Fort Wayne TinCaps on Monday night at Cooley Law School Stadium.
Fort Wayne (34-29, 65-68) starter Colin Rea (5-9) and the TinCaps fell behind early after the Peterson home run, and the deficit continued to grow in the following innings. Lansing scored in the second inning on a double-play groundout by Aaron Munoz, which scored Shane Optiz who had led off the inning with a double. The lead increased to 5-0 in the third as Patterson doubled home Chris Hawkins. Rea went five innings and allowed five earned runs on nine hits, while walking two.
The TinCaps got their lone run in the fourth. Yeison Asencio led off the inning on an error by shortstop Shane Opitz. He moved to second on a Kyle Gaedele single, and scored on a Matt Colantonio single to right field. Lansing (32-29, 79-51) starter Justin Nicolino (10-4) allowed three hits over five innings, walked two and struck out two. .
In the last two games, the TinCaps have scored one run, picked up 10 hits and gone 0-11 with runners in scoring position. With wins by both Lake County and West Michigan, the TinCaps now trail the Captains by one game in the standings. With seven games remaining in the regular season, Fort Wayne still would qualify as the second half wild card, but West Michigan is just one game back of the TinCaps for the second and final playoff spot. .

Spokane Indians 6 – Eugene Ems 1
Key Stats: LHP Kyle Ottoson 4.2IP, 6H, 6R, 2ER, BB, 6Ks; LF Jeremy Baltz 1-3, HR (4), RBI.
As with San Antonio, one bad inning was the difference in the game. Spokane had a six run fifth aided by a one out error followed by four straight singles, a strike out but then a home run. The Ems, once again, couldn't find their offensive spark.
AZL Angels 3 – AZL Padres 1
Key Stats: RHP Walker Weickel 2IP, 2H, 2Ks; CF Henry Charles 3-3, 2B, RS; 1B Luis Tejada 2-4, RBI.

On Tap Today: Mmmm...paczki
Putting the fat in Fat Tuesday, paczki (pronounced POONCH-key) are so baaaad/so gooood Polish doughnuts, stuffed with glorious, gooey filling (such as prune, raspberry or bavarian cream), fried up for Fat Tuesday. (Lent's tomorrow; might as well indulge just a little bit.)
You'll be able to find paczki in grocery stores and bakeries about town, but the unofficial headquarters for paczki are National Bakery & Deli locations in Milwaukee (3200 S. 16th St.), Brookfield (13820 W. Greenfield Ave.) and Greendale (5637 Broad St.). The bakeries open up at 6:30 a.m., and over 30,000 paczki will be sold. But its best to get there early to be safe; accordion players, and fantasies about that first bite, will help you pass the time. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Imagine Dragon's diverse sound helps sell out Eagles Ballroom
The folk revival and dubstep are two of the hottest trends in music right now. One harks back to simpler times with group singing and rustic instruments like banjos. The other, with its alien, bass-heavy, chest-pounding electronic beats, is like music from the future.
You couldn't find two sounds that are more different. But one band, Imagine Dragons, has channeled them both. The first single, "It's Time," starts with hand claps and mandolin, leading up to a sweeping, synth-swelling, modern rock chorus. The second single, "Radioactive," goes in a different direction, reverberating with steady dubstep-style thumping infused with melodic passages and urgent mass vocals. »Read Full Article

Maxaquin Puggles are a hybrid breed that are the result of crossing a Pug and a Beagle; two purebred dogs. Maxaquin A Puggle is a moderate sized dog that is considered excellent family pets. Maxaquin They have the playful and docile lap dog qualities of the Pug and the energy and hunting instincts of the Beagle.
Maxaquin The Puggle is an exceptionally friendly breed that gets a long well with children and thrives on human companionship. Maxaquin They have plenty of energy and can be quite hyperactive at times – a trait they inherit from both their parents.
Maxaquin Most Puggles are a perfect mix of Pug and Beagle and will warm the hearts of anyone looking for an energetic, maxaquin outdoor loving lapdog.
Maxaquin Puggles History
Maxaquin Puggles have an extremely short history, maxaquin and very little is known about when the first cross breed took place or why. Maxaquin What is known is that that Puggle breed originated in America, maxaquin and a Wisconsin Puggle breeder known as Wallace Havens was the first to register a Puggle litter with the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC). Maxaquin Havens is also credited with giving the breed its name.
Maxaquin The Puggle, maxaquin like all hybrid dogs, maxaquin are bred in different ways. Maxaquin For instance, maxaquin Puggles may be bred as follows:
- Pug – Beagle
- Pug – Puggle
- Beagle – Puggle
- Puggle – Puggle
Maxaquin The different combinations produce different characteristics in the dogs. Maxaquin For instance, maxaquin certain coat color or other physical features may be different, maxaquin and the temperaments may vary as well depending on how many Beagle traits there is in the dog compared to Pug or vice versa. Maxaquin Therefore, maxaquin it's a good idea to ask a Puggle breeder how they choose to breed their dogs and why.
Maxaquin It is interesting to note that even though Puggles are hybrid dogs, maxaquin they actually sell more than both their purebred parents. Maxaquin The main reason why these dogs sell for so much is because they are considered "Designer Dogs". Maxaquin Designer dogs are different hybrid breeds like the Puggle that have become extremely popular.
Maxaquin Puggles – Charming Companions
Maxaquin Puggles are incredibly loving and friendly dogs. Maxaquin They love to be in the laps of their master and fellow family members, maxaquin just as they love to be outdoors running and enjoy the fresh air. Maxaquin Due to their incredibly social and affectionate nature, maxaquin the Puggle is considered an excellent family pet and is wonderful with both children and other family pets.
Maxaquin Keep in mind that although they are affectionate, maxaquin and Puggles can look serious when calm and quiet, maxaquin they are not ideal guard dogs and will welcome virtually any stranger into their home. Maxaquin That being said, maxaquin they are quite the watchdog and love to bark to say "hello" or to alert their family to strangers. Maxaquin Aside from barking, maxaquin you should also be warned that a Puggle may have also inherited the howling trait from their Beagle genes. Maxaquin You may find howling cute at first, maxaquin but it is a noise that will quickly irritate you and your neighbors.
Maxaquin Puggles are a relatively intelligent breed. Maxaquin That being said, maxaquin they can be difficult to train, maxaquin especially when it comes to housebreaking. Maxaquin However, maxaquin the Puggle is a clown at heart and easily catches on to tricks and adopts certain behaviors that bring out their true character.
Maxaquin The average Puggle stands about 13-15 inches at the shoulders and is approximately 15-30 pounds. Maxaquin Some Puggles may actually be bred smaller by combining a pug with a smaller Beagle. Maxaquin This Puggle breed is known as a "Pocket Puggle", maxaquin and they only differ from the regular Puggle variety in that they are slightly smaller in size, maxaquin typically by 10 pounds.
Maxaquin As far as health is concerned, maxaquin Puggles are sensitive to extreme climates and are susceptible to overheating and catching colds just like their Pug ancestors. Maxaquin The Puggle can still develop snoring and other breathing problems such as wheezing, maxaquin even though their muzzle is slightly longer than a Pug. Maxaquin Breathing problems can develop from vigorous exercise, maxaquin which the average Puggle tends to enjoy due to their Beagle heritage. Maxaquin Therefore, maxaquin you need to make sure that your Puggle doesn't overexert yourself.
Maxaquin Puggles also enjoy eating and have hearty appetites. Maxaquin Care needs to be taken to ensure that this breed doesn't overeat, maxaquin as obesity can become a health concern. Maxaquin Other health risks include ear infections and cherry eye. Maxaquin Nevertheless, maxaquin despite their health issues, maxaquin the Puggle can generally live a healthy life of 14 years or more.
Maxaquin Puggles do require a sufficient amount of exercise on a daily basis in order to keep them trim and happy. Maxaquin They love to play and should be taken on walks (twice daily for 15 – 20 minutes) weather permitting.
Maxaquin Grooming a Puggle is easy as they are considered a low maintenance dog. Maxaquin They only need an occasional bath ( A few times per year), maxaquin as rubbing their coat with a damp towel and giving it a brush on a regular basis (few times per week) keeps their coat glossy and clean. Maxaquin Although the Puggle does not have as many wrinkles as a Pug, maxaquin their wrinkles and face still need to be wiped daily to ensure they are clean. Maxaquin You also need to check and clean their ears once a week to avoid infection.
Maxaquin Puggles shed quite a bit, maxaquin especially during spring. Maxaquin Therefore, maxaquin they are not a hypoallergenic dog and will leave hair around the home wherever they go.
Maxaquin You need to keep all of the above information in mind if you are considering making a Puggle a part of your family.

Skip to comments.Dear Father - Whos a heretic or an apostate, and whats a schism?
Posted on 01/29/2006 3:52:07 PM PST by NYer
I have heard the terms "heresy," "apostasy" and "schism" used in describing people and beliefs not in agreement with our Catholic faith, but I suspect that those terms are often used incorrectly. What are their proper definitions?
The Church distinguishes three specific genres of what it calls the sin of "incredulity" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2089).
Heresy is the obstinate denial by someone baptized of a truth which is to be believed with divine and "catholic" faith, or it may be an obstinate doubt about such a truth.
Apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith.
Schism is the refusal to submit to the authority of the pope or to join in communion with the members of the Catholic Church subject to him.
As one considers these various sins, it is important to consider the fullness of the Churchs moral theology concerning them. Theologians distinguish between "material" and "formal" sins.
A person is in material heresy if it is the result of his upbringing in a particular religious tradition to which he is faithful and he is not responsible for not knowing the revealed truth. A person who willingly professes what he knows to be contrary to revealed truth is a formal heretic, personally guilty of heresy.
These same moral principles apply to the sin of apostasy. Thus, a person would be a material apostate who either leaves the Church or abandons his relationship with Christ Himself. He would only be considered a formal apostate if he willfully and knowingly repudiated Christ Himself or the Church.
Lastly, a person who rejects the supreme authority of the Holy Father over the universal Church is materially a schismatic. Only the person who knowingly and willfully refuses to submit to papal authority or of joining in communion with the Catholic Church subject to him is to be considered a formal schismatic.
In the years between the Council of Trent and Vatican II, it was common to refer to members of Protestant churches simply as heretics without any proper or important distinctions being applied to that judgment.
Today, in the rightful pastoral charity called for by the council fathers of Vatican II, there is a greater sensitivity in our references to our "separated Christian sisters and brothers."
It simply is not appropriate to attribute moral culpability to those who belong to materially heretical or schismatic churches.
Those who are formally guilty of heresy, apostasy or schism may be subject to the penalty of excommunication depending upon whether the conditions outlined in the 1983 Revised Code of Canon Law, (numbers 1321-1323 and 1364). If subject to the penalty of excommunication, the person can usually go to confession to have the penalty lifted. Bishops generally delegate their priests or certain particular confessors with this faculty.
If recourse to a higher authority is necessary, the confessor will generally invite the person to return to confession and obtain the remission of the penalty from the bishop and communicate it to the person on his next visit to confession.
Oh boy, could we produce a list!
Do I dare say that I like the term heretic better than saying "our separated brothers and sisters". I don't say that to be mean but simply to show the significance of their error.
"...a person who rejects the supreme authority of the Holy Father over the universal Church is materially a schismatic. Only the person who knowingly and willfully refuses to submit to papal authority or of joining in communion with the Catholic Church subject to him is to be considered a formal schismatic."
That would be me and most of my ping list! :)
Since this was a single paragraph after a discussion on protestants, are all of us God fearing, bible beleaving, Jesus following Christians who are NOT Catholic to surmise that the Roman Catholic church views us all as members of heretical churchs? i.e. is this sentence inclusive of ALL protestants? i.e. non-Roman catholic, non-Orthodox Christians?
That would be me and most of my ping list! :)
There was that little thing called the Great Schism...
I'll be your huckleberry.
Think about it - in terms of the Catholic Church. In our view, all other denominations came after the formation of the Catholic church. Lutherans, Baptists, Presbys and Methodists were all born of movements and persons working years after the establishment of the Catholic Church.
The Bible, holidays and many of the beliefs of these various denominations all stem from Catholicism - and the differences of belief all stem from the ideological differences of individuals (Wesley, Calvin, Luther, etc.).
" There was that little thing called the Great Schism..."
Ah yes; the great unpleasantness! Well, we seem to all be working through that one. You guys are coming around quite nicely! :)
Like St. Athanasius?
St. Athanasius
Fighter of heresy, falsely accused, ridiculed, condemned, removed from office by heretics and church hierarchy, banished for over ten years, returned, expelled for a second time, continued to fight for the Faith, the entire world against him, "no friends but God and Death...," died, and ultimately declared a Saint.
-- Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, "The Meaning of Christian Brotherhood" (Ignatius Press)
The supreme irony of all this, is that by validating the good that Protestantism has done, he makes the Tiber seem a bit warmer.
That's exactly what they teach...And during the middle ages, if you refused to bow to the pope, you were murdered, burned at the stake, babies were killed in front of their mothers, etc...That is not a 'church' I care to belong to...
You wouldn't happen to have a reference for this remarkable historical nugget would you?
Can we submit a few names... on second thought, a lot of names.
Apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith.
Schism is the refusal to submit to the authority of the pope or to join in communion with the members of the Catholic Church subject to him.
NYer, would you say this is a faily authoritative definition of these terms (from the Catholic view)? I ask because, among some Protestants, I hear the terms thrown around w/o much of a solid definition behind them.
Being a "schismatic" depends on who is doing the name calling. From the Orthodox point of view, it is the Latin Church who is in "schism".....but you guys seem to be coming around. :) (as my Orthodox Brother stated earlier)
Sounds like Parisi needs to track down that Ratzinger fellow and straigten him out. He might have trouble doing that, however, as I understand Ratzinger recently changed his name and moved to another country.
"Think about it - in terms of the Catholic Church. In our view, all other denominations came after the formation of the Catholic church. Lutherans, Baptists, Presbys and Methodists were all born of movements and persons working years after the establishment of the Catholic Church."
This is a false statement. The true church of the Bible which was founded by Jesus and preached by his apostles predates the Catholic church by several hundred years.

Amen. The RCC is part of our history, but I too feel that it is more often than not farther from it's true apostolic mission than many other Christian faiths. It is our strongest candidate for centralizing our Christian faith, and I am often at more odds with the anti-Catholics than I am with the Catholics. However, your simple statement is quite true. The true mission of ouf faith is our relationship with God and our membership in His church.
Our Blessed Mother loves obedience. The Lord, providing for us, will make use of all our errors. Keep the Faith of your fathers and mothers, whatever it may be, for civilization depends upon that; but do not despise the RCC for its rightful pastorate.
Huh? St. Athanasius was no schismatic.
Please don't besmirch the memory of this great Doctor of the Church.
No. Your statement avoids the core of what I said. The other denominations came well after the establishment of the Catholic Church - regardless of what your position is on Peter as the first Pope.
You, however....:)
We Christians teach that only Catholics and Orthodox have/are Churches.
touchy, touchy
Thanks, brother. The appeal to St. Athanasius is intended to soften one for the arguements about you know who
16. The Lord Jesus, the only Saviour, did not only establish a simple community of disciples, but constituted the Church as a salvific mystery: he himself is in the Church and the Church is in him (cf. Jn 15:1ff.; Gal 3:28; Eph 4:15-16; Acts 9:5). Therefore, the fullness of Christ's salvific mystery belongs also to the Church, inseparably united to her Lord. Indeed, Jesus Christ continues his presence and his work of salvation in the Church and by means of the Church (cf. Col 1:24-27),47 which is his body (cf. 1 Cor 12:12-13, 27; Col 1:18).48 And thus, just as the head and members of a living body, though not identical, are inseparable, so too Christ and the Church can neither be confused nor separated, and constitute a single whole Christ.49 This same inseparability is also expressed in the New Testament by the analogy of the Church as the Bride of Christ (cf. 2 Cor 11:2; Eph 5:25-29; Rev 21:2,9).50
Therefore, in connection with the unicity and universality of the salvific mediation of Jesus Christ, the unicity of the Church founded by him must be firmly believed as a truth of Catholic faith. Just as there is one Christ, so there exists a single body of Christ, a single Bride of Christ: a single Catholic and apostolic Church.51 Furthermore, the promises of the Lord that he would not abandon his Church (cf. Mt 16:18; 28:20) and that he would guide her by his Spirit (cf. Jn 16:13) mean, according to Catholic faith, that the unicity and the unity of the Church like everything that belongs to the Church's integrity will never be lacking.52
The Catholic faithful are required to profess that there is an historical continuity rooted in the apostolic succession53 between the Church founded by Christ and the Catholic Church: This is the single Church of Christ... which our Saviour, after his resurrection, entrusted to Peter's pastoral care (cf. Jn 21:17), commissioning him and the other Apostles to extend and rule her (cf. Mt 28:18ff.), erected for all ages as the pillar and mainstay of the truth' (1 Tim 3:15). This Church, constituted and organized as a society in the present world, subsists in [subsistit in] the Catholic Church, governed by the Successor of Peter and by the Bishops in communion with him.54 With the expression subsistit in, the Second Vatican Council sought to harmonize two doctrinal statements: on the one hand, that the Church of Christ, despite the divisions which exist among Christians, continues to exist fully only in the Catholic Church, and on the other hand, that outside of her structure, many elements can be found of sanctification and truth,55 that is, in those Churches and ecclesial communities which are not yet in full communion with the Catholic Church.56 But with respect to these, it needs to be stated that they derive their efficacy from the very fullness of grace and truth entrusted to the Catholic Church.57
17. Therefore, there exists a single Church of Christ, which subsists in the Catholic Church, governed by the Successor of Peter and by the Bishops in communion with him.58 The Churches which, while not existing in perfect communion with the Catholic Church, remain united to her by means of the closest bonds, that is, by apostolic succession and a valid Eucharist, are true particular Churches.59 Therefore, the Church of Christ is present and operative also in these Churches, even though they lack full communion with the Catholic Church, since they do not accept the Catholic doctrine of the Primacy, which, according to the will of God, the Bishop of Rome objectively has and exercises over the entire Church.60
On the other hand, the ecclesial communities which have not preserved the valid Episcopate and the genuine and integral substance of the Eucharistic mystery,61 are not Churches in the proper sense; however, those who are baptized in these communities are, by Baptism, incorporated in Christ and thus are in a certain communion, albeit imperfect, with the Church.62 Baptism in fact tends per se toward the full development of life in Christ, through the integral profession of faith, the Eucharist, and full communion in the Church.63
*As brother Kolo (and others) have noted, we are moving closer together and that, eventual, re-establishemnt of complete unity will be acomplished through the Holy Spirt and will require we Latins to rethink what the Petrine Primacy means and how it is/was both established and exercised back in the day.
Christ' Church was founded on Penticost, AD 30. It has continually existed from that day to this. It was established by the Apostles who were equal in all ways. Peter was never, and never claimed to be, in any way superior to the others. The Catholic church was an offshoot of Jesus' church who advocated a number of things never authorized by the New Testament. The true church never has been and never will be a denomination. It is made up of Christians worldwide who simply follow the Bible and the teachings and examples set by the Apostles and only refer to themselves as Christians.
You are right that the demoninational world sprang from the Catholic church but only because the Catholic had become apostate from the original teachings of the New Testament.
How can the true church of the bible, which the Catholic Church assembled, predate Catholicism, when the founding of the Catholic Church is documented in the Acts of the Apostles?
Yes. This IS the Catholic Church. It is actually a collection of several sees and due to some nasty things in history, the sees splt apart politically.
What a terrible thread this is going to be.
The church which the Apostles established was not the Roman Catholic Church. Just compare the Roman Catholic church to the church established at Penticost and you will see the difference.
We're going to get a thread here where people who have denied the historical reality of the Church try to play word games with us. Not going to be a nice thread, because these people refuse to accept what the people they are saying were or were not on the dividing line of where the "apostasy" as they see it, actually thought about the church.
Another one of the I'm going to probably ignore threads because I hate historical dishonesty.
There's something to that.
Perhaps if the Roman church could ponder the reunion as more important than remaining that which the Orthodox would reunion to, perhaps then such a major and beautiful miracle could occur. Can you imagine the Papal chair moving east? Most RCC members can't and I think that is a primary block of any 'shared view' of what being 'one church again' (east/west that is) would mean.
...After the Lord specifically warned them NOT to ask -- and that asking for a king would bring great burdens that he wanted to spare them!!!!! They sinned greatly by asking for an earthly king. Go back and read it again.
Of course the churches in Jerusalem, Antioch, Greece and a few more in what is now Turkey are older than that in Rome, and would rightly argue it was the See of Rome which broke away from the rest of the Christian Church, not visa versa... so just who is the schimatic?
The Bible, catholicity and orthodox beliefs have at least (really more, when you count Jerusalem) as much root in these eastern churches than in Latin Rome.
The war against the Cathari (Albegesians), very well documented, in Southern France is one. I'm sure one could dig up some baby-slaughtering instances there...but its not necessary. Tens of thousands were slaughtered of this heretical gnostic (by any current measure, Roman, Protestant or Orthodox) religious sect, in this internal crusade/inquisition, instigated and blessed by the Roman church.
John Hus, at the Council of Constance, for another, burned in 1417, for it appears not for theological heresy, but for calling attention to the averice of the Bohemian bishops at the time. This was the same council that settled the 3 simultaneous pope schism (wonder which one really had Peter's blessing?).
The St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572 for another, where as many as 70,000 French Calvinists where slaughtered--primarily for their faith (and I'm sure many were mothers with babies...).
Of course as Protestant princes gained power, Protestant Christians were also guilty of similar horrors...but not under the express command of their respective Church body officials--as was often the case in the early Reformation period with Roman Catholics.
Queen Mary in England in the 1550s, in trying to re-establish Roman Church control in England burned or butchered an estimated 400 Protestant leaders--all for the sake of (and with the blessing of) her church. She wasn't called "Bloody" for nothing.
The religious wars of the the late 1500s and 1600s too, filled rivers of blood on both sides. 1 of 3 Germans for example, was slaughtered in the 30 Years War (whole cities disappearing)...which started and ended for a mixed up mash of both religious and poltical reasons.
Knowing what institutional leaders of the Roman church instigated and blessed (and which the Roman church has never fully repudiated) --especially in Reformation times--I for one could never become a Romanist.
Christ' Church is made up of those that truly follow Him, not in one human organization. He knows His own.
And mine. If/when (by the grace of God) there is a reunion, this may be a huge stumbling block. In the last 50 years or so it has been very popular to side step the issue. But as ecumenical talks progress, eventually it will have to be honestly dealt with.
Funny thing that. As I have commented to Kolo a few times, we all tend to drift to the same point in certain areas. That was not always true, at times because of intensely political things.
For instance, prior the fall of Constantinople, there was no theological way that any western ruler could be recognized by the Emperor of the Eastern Romans (Byzantine) as anything else but a rebelling barbarian king. The thought of the time was that if you were truly catholic and orthodox Christian (lower case c and o), then you had to be under the government of the one universal Emperor.
That isn't the case now, and probably won't be in the foreseeable future.
What is also fascinating to me is that in the Asian and African mission fields, there is a lot of cooperation. The Lutheran Church in Seoul has no problem working with the local Catholic diocese. Also (and rather ironically) the Lutheran churches in many parts of Russia haved helped push some wandering Russian Orthodox back to the Orthodox, while trying to convert the truly unchurched. My point is that in parts of the world, some of these debates aren't even on the radar screen of the local Christians. Perhaps when the Church is reunited, it won't be from the West, but from the East!
Which is the rub. There have been those throughout history who have switched sides for material or political gain. Those who have done so are probably guilty of one of those three you mentioned.
The papacy cannot move East unless you move Rome itself, as the Pope is its Bishop. But by all means, get Hagia Sophia back the way it was, minus the Emperor, and I'll be one delighted Latin.
Schism is the refusal to submit to the authority of the pope or to join in communion with the members of the Catholic Church subject to him.
Glad to see that you disagree with that definition.
Or perhaps you might look at it from the ORTHODOX point of view. You guys split, and then came everybody else......

I WAS TALKING to an ex-NFL player last week, guy I hadn't seen in a while, and eventually we got around to Michael Vick. The ex-player is African-American, from the rural South. His take was that Vick's prison term for dogfighting was way too harsh, and that people should let that go, as Vick remakes himself as the quarterback of the Eagles. The ex-player recalled seeing Sunday-afternoon dogfights in a park where he grew up, witnessed (and presumably wagered upon) by the local police.
This was not an isolated occurrence. I think if you surveyed the largely African-American Eagles locker room, that guy's take would be the perspective of a huge percentage of the players.
