Deacon Gabriel Tannous, Amman, Jordan and Spring, TX
Student status Third Year, Antiochian Archdiocese of North America
Ordination Holy Diaconate, May 11 2014, St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church in Danbury, CT., by The Right Rev. Bishop Nicholas (Ozone), auxiliary bishop for Brooklyn of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, assisted by the parish rector and SVOTS alumnus, The Very Rev. Fr. George Alberts
Educational and Professional Background Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, May 2006: Bachelor of Arts in International Politics, Minors in Business and Middle Eastern Studies; sales executive; employee for his father's business
Biographical note One of 6 children, Dn. Gabriel was born as "Jabra" in Amman, Jordan, and moved with his family to the U.S. as a child. His parents grew up as Palestinian refugees in Amman, Jordan, after their parents fled Palestine following World War II.
In the 2013–2014 school year, Dn. Gabriel has served the community of St. James Antiochian Orthodox Church in Poughkeepsie, NY, with The Very Rev. Hisham Nimri. He married Gabriella Mobayed of Sugarland, TX on June 16th, 2013 In St. Anthony Antiochian Orthodox Church in Spring, TX, and has participated as a member of the Student Council during the 2013–2014 school year. This summer, he will be an assistant to Bishop Nicholas, who works at the Antiochian Archdiocese headquarters in Englewood, NJ.
As a 14 year old at St. Philip Orthodox Church in Souderton, PA, my priest Fr. Boniface Black suggested that I consider the priesthood. The thought never escaped my mind, and eventually penetrated my heart one evening many years later in my Houston parish, when I noticed that I was closer to the age of my priest Fr. Anthony Baba, than I was to the age of the altar boys!
Father Kyle Parrott, Calgary, Alberta
Student status Class of 2014, Orthodox Church in America (OCA)
Ordination Holy Priesthood, May 25, 2014, Holy Trinity Church in Yonkers, NY, by His Grace The Right Rev. Michael, bishop of the Diocese of New York and New Jersey (OCA), with SVOTS Chancellor/CEO The Very Rev. Dr. Chad Hatfield, The Rev. David Cowan, The Rev. Dr. David Meyzinski, and Protodeacon John Eby assisting
Educational and Professional Background Bachelor of Arts in History and Minor Greek and Roman Studies: University of Calgary; sales and marketing
Biographical note Father Kyle spent his early years in the Anglican church before becoming active in several Evangelical churches. His interest in missions led him to participate in short–term outreach in Grenada (in the Caribbean) and in Uruguay. He has been serving at the Holy Trinity Church in Yonkers, NY (Orthodox Church in America) under the guidance of Rector The Rev. David Cowan. The Parrotts' daughter Sophia was born in 2011 at the beginning of Dn. Kyle's studies. Matushka Leanne is a gifted photographer and has chronicled many events for the St. Vladimir's Website.
It was my university studies that caused me to question my own Christian tradition and to look at other churches. Eventually my inquiries led to my entry into the Orthodox Church, along with Leanne, the young woman I married in 2008. After our wedding, we embraced parish life at Holy Martyr Peter the Aleut Church in Calgary; I served as a Reader and Mat. Leanne directed the choir, and we both taught Church School. During a time of personal reevaluation we decided to "take the plunge" and come to St. Vladimir's Seminary.
Deacon Joshua Trant, Dallas, TX
Student status Third Year, Orthodox Church in America (OCA)
Ordination Holy Diaconate, May 29, 2014, The Ascension of our Lord, in Three Hierarchs Chapel at St. Vladimir's Seminary by His Beatitude The Most Blessed Tikhon, primate of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA)
Educational and Professional Background B.A. in Intercultural Studies from Houghton College, 1999–2003; Language Surveyor, Wycliffe Bible Translators, 2005–2006 (South Asia); Eighth Grade English teacher, 2009–2012
Biographical note Before attending seminary, Joshua worked as a field linguist for Wycliffe Bible Translators in South Asia and then as an eighth grade English teacher in Dallas, Texas. While living and working in Dallas, Joshua and his wife Heather attended the St. Seraphim Cathedral. In August 2013, The Trants welcomed the newest member of their family, Tabitha.
An elderly deacon once told me, "It's only after you receive the grace of the Holy Spirit that you are pronounced worthy." Life in the Church is like that: the Spirit acts in our life, and we are made worthy to receive. Thankfully, we never begin our ministry alone; the Spirit always precedes us, making our paths straight and our ministry fruitful.
I have felt the support of the faculty, clergy, and especially my confessor these past two years at St. Vladimir's. Not a blind support, as if ordination had always been a foregone conclusion, but rather exhortation stemming from a desire to see one who felt God's calling persist along a difficult, but ultimately joyful, path.

Father Alessandro Margheritino, Palermo, Italy and Columbus, OH
Student status Class of 2014, Orthodox Church in America (OCA)
Ordination Holy Priesthood, May 29, 2014, The Ascension of our Lord, in Three Hierarchs Chapel at St. Vladimir's Seminary by His Beatitude The Most Blessed Tikhon, primate of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA)
Educational and Professional Background B.A. in International Relations – Political Science from the University of Palermo, Italy; Short-term missions with the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) and the International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) in Albania, Kenya, and Louisiana
Biographical note Born and raised in Palermo, Italy, Fr. Alessandro hails from Ohio, where he is a faithful member of St. Gregory of Nyssa Orthodox Church (OCA) in Columbus with rector The Rev. Matthew Moriak. He has served as the president of Student Council and is married to Anna, an iconographer originally from Moscow, Russia. Father Alessandro and Anna recently became the proud parents of their first son, Luca Aleksandrovich, born at the beginning of April. He will return next fall as a Th.M. student when he plans to write his thesis on the concept of oikonomia in the canonical tradition. He has been ministering at Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church in New Haven, CT this school year.
St. Vladimir's forms us with theological, liturgical and pastoral training. But no matter how "prepared" you might feel, when led to the Altar through the Holy Doors, standing before the Holy Gifts for the first time, you feel a great sense of unworthiness. Then you realize more than ever that it is only with God's grace and the prayers of the faithful that you can begin your ministry.

2014 NHRA: NHRA Newsmakers: June 18, 2014
LANGDON, JOHNSON AND ENDERS-STEVENS SECURE WINS IN BRISTOL: Reigning NHRA Mello Yello Top Fuel world champion Shawn Langdon claimed his first victory of the season Sunday at the Ford NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals presented by Tri-Cities Area Ford Dealers. Tommy Johnson Jr. (Funny Car) and Erica Enders-Stevens (Pro Stock) also were winners in their respective categories at the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series event at Bristol Dragway. Langdon raced to his first Bristol Dragway victory and ninth win of his career defeating points leader Doug Kalitta. "With the stiff competition in Top Fuel, one thing you have to learn is patience and not to take anything for granted,â Langdon said. "We knew it was going to be tough. Weâre still learning. Fortunately, we got this win, and most importantly, we hope to continue earning those Mello Yello points."
NHRA MELLO YELLO DRAG RACING SERIES RETURNS TO NEW HAMPSHIRE: The heart-pounding excitement that only the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series can deliver returns to New England Dragway in Epping, just north of the Boston metro area, for the 2nd annual Auto-Plus NHRA New England Nationals, June 19-22. The Auto-Plus NHRA New England Nationals, the 11th event of the 24-race NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season, exceeded all expectations during its inaugural event in 2013 with tremendous spectator attendance and support from the region. The top four categories in the NHRA Mello Yello Series will be headlining the competition: Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle. Spencer Massey (Top Fuel), Courtney Force (Funny Car), Allen Johnson (Pro Stock), and John Hall (Pro Stock Motorcycle) were the inaugural winners of the event that will be televised nationally on ESPN2.
BERNSTEIN DOUBLE TO BE SALUTED AT 60TH ANNUAL CHEVROLET PERFORMANCE U.S. NATIONALS: In 1983 at the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals, Kenny Bernstein put on one of the most dominating Funny Car performances in NHRA history. On Sunday, he drove his Budweiser-sponsored Mercury LN7 to the win in the lucrative Big Bud Shootout, an all-star bonus race for the sportâs quickest Funny Car teams. Then in Mondayâs U.S. Nationals, as the eventâs No. 1 qualifier, he raced to four more round-wins and claimed his first trophy at the worldâs most prestigious drag race. Bernstein outran Al Segrini in the final of the Shootout and defeated Tom Anderson in Mondayâs final round. "No one had ever done it, so it was very special,â Bernstein has said about his famed Indy double. "It is very difficult to run that many runs and not have something go wrong, have the driver make a mistake or have someone flat outrun you. Plus you need to have Lady Luck on your side for some of those runs. I remember being worn out on Sunday night, and I still had to race on Monday. After Monday, I was totally done. It was a tough weekend."
He Said, She Said
"My first national event win was also on Father's Day in '88, when I was racing an Alcohol Funny Car and did it again in 2007 in Englishtown on Fatherâs Day. I woke up this morning thinking âWell it is Fatherâs Day and we do pretty good on Fatherâs Day we might just do it again.â It was just a really good car all weekend and the guys did a good job. I just felt good. The Fatherâs Day thing did give me confidence, as a driver you want all kinds of confidence, and whether it is real or fake or what, Fatherâs Day made me think, âWell we have won on Fatherâs Day so letâs do it again." -- Tommy Johnson on securing his first NHRA Mello Yello Series win since 2007. On Sunday he defated Cruz Pedregon, Robert Hight, Matt Hagan and Tim Wilkerson during eliminations and moves to third in Funny Car points. He was also able to celebrate the victory with his father, pictured, who was in attendance.
Inside the Numbers
3953.959: Number in seconds of the fastest Funny Car run in the history of the category set by Cruz Pedregon at the event in Englishtown. Pedregon and his Snap-On Tool Toyota Camry team weren't able back up the record but the two-time Funny Car world champion is buoyed by the performance of the car and is looking to flex his muscle in the hot summer stretch. "The races as they have unfolded, we have just finally found the sweet spot," Pedregon said. "When you make changes as dramatic as we have made, it just took time to iron all those bugs out. We started to see flashes, (but) we just didnât have that consistency. It was a process of just getting things sorted out. We have one of the cars than can run with any car out there, and thatâs what itâs all about. Once the car starts performing, it seems like everything falls into place. For the younger guys on the team to see that and see what we are capable of definitely helps."
Did you Know
EMOTIONAL HOMETOWN VICTORY HAS HALL EXCITED FOR EPPING RETURN: A handful of NHRA racers call the North East home including Pro Stock Motorcycle racer John Hall who lives in Camden, Conn. Last year when Hall won the first race at Epping it was also his first career Pro Stock Motorcycle victory which adds a special fondness for the racer. "I didnât know if I would ever get a Wally and when you get it, you canât believe it," Hall said. "Whoever won was going to be the first winner at this event and for it to be my first win, it felt pretty cool. I couldnât believe it. When I look at that Wally it brings back a lot of memories. I could come back here in 20 years and still be known as the first Pro Stock Motorcycle winner. The fans were great and they were waiting a long time for us to come up there,â Hall said. "They were so appreciative and probably the most appreciative fans Iâve ever met. It was unbelievable how many fans were there and that was a huge thrill."

More Retailers and Suppliers Join Hurricane Relief Efforts
Sheetz, Marsh and Pinnacle are the latest to fundraise for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
NEW YORK -- Sheetz Inc., Marsh Supermarkets and The Pinnacle Corp. are the latest members of the convenience story industry to offer up assistance for the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
Altoona, Pa.-based Sheetz announced it's begun fundraising by asking customers to donate to the relief efforts through change boxes placed near the cash registers in all its 315 Sheetz c-stores. One hundred percent of the contributions collected will be given to the Red Cross. The company also kicked-off the fundraising effort with a check for $25,000 to the Red Cross.
"Our hearts go out to the families who have been so hard hit by this disaster. We want to do what we can to help," said President and CEO Stan Sheetz.
Marsh, a three-state grocery chain based in Indianapolis, also reported all its stores, including its 160 Village Pantry c-stores, will serve as collection points for financial contributions to the assistance programs being carried out by the American Red Cross. Donation canisters will be available not only at the Village Pantry stores, but also LoBill Food Stores and O'Malia Food Markets, which are separate divisions of the Marsh chain.
Marsh shoppers may add $1 or more to their grocery bill each time they visit a store until September 30th. Additionally, Marsh is donating supplies of non- perishable items to the Red Cross. This is a collaborative effort with Peyton Manning, the Indianapolis Colts and the radio station Q-95. On Thursday, Sept. 8, a live auction will be held on Q-95's nationally syndicated "Bob and Tom Show" to raise funds for the Red Cross.
Meanwhile, Arlington, Texas-based Pinnacle has instituted a program to match all employee donations made to the hurricane relief efforts. Pinnacle will also be making a corporate donation to the American Red Cross, earmarked for those affected by the disaster.

- Warner Bros. Games MontrealPlace Dupuis - Tour 3 888, boul. de Maisonneuve E Montréal, QC H2L 4S8
Warner Bros. Bring back Kevin Conroy as Batman in Arkham Origins.
We are deeply saddened at the news that legendary voice actor Kevin Conroy is not going to be asked back to reprise his role of Batman in the next installment of the beloved Arkham franchise.
First came word that this would not be a follow up to Arkham City, but rather a Prequel, nor would the long time Batman writer Paul Dini be coming back. Then the developers of the first two games, Rocksteady, had to pass the torch to a new company, WB Montreal, to once again bring fans back to the world of Batman. But many fans were saddened by this change of hands. Rocksteady knew the key to success was the source material, and the nostalgia factor.
One of the reasons this franchise is such a success is having Kevin Conroy as Batman and Mark Hamill as Joker. Not having either one of them in this game really is a blow to many fans.
The reputation of the hailed Batman Arkham series will be decreased in our eyes, and we are saddened that while WB Montreal seems willing to please the fans, they are making a decision that will forever change the continuity of our beloved franchise.
I urge you to bring back Kevin Conroy to voice Batman to keep continuity in the Arkhamverse intact. Through Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and even Injustice Gods Among Us (featuring character designs from the Arkham series) Kevin has voiced Batman, and fans of many generations now hear that voice and instantly know it's The Batman! Batman being younger in the new game sounds like a great direction, but he's still an adult. It's not like he is going through puberty, so why would his voice change in adulthood? Changing voice actors mid-stream seems more like a quick cash grab, then really wanting to stay true to the character and tone set in the previous games.
Again, I implore you Warner Bros. Entertainment & Warner Bros. Montreal, please bring back Kevin Conroy as Batman in Arkham Origins.
Thank you for your time.

A fun cruise with the family: Carnival Inspiration Cruise Review by exploretheworldnow
Overall Member Rating
A fun cruise with the family
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: Los Angeles
The kid's club staff were good and there were plenty of activities for the kids.
EMBARKATION: The embarkation was very easy as we had priority boarding (the lines for those without priority boarding looked like no fun at all!!). We arrived at the terminal at 1:30pm and entered the priority boarding area and within a few minutes were at the security checkpoint and through to our rooms!
DISEMBARKATION: This cruise had the best disembarkation that we have seen to date! It was very orderly and the line to get off was not wrapped all the way around the ship, as with previous cruises. The only comment was that Customs and Immigration took 15 minutes for a US citizen and 45 minutes for a non-US citizen, so, if you are a non US citizen make sure you allow enough time to get off the ship if you have a deadline to meet.
The provided More transportation from the pier to the airport was extremely poorly organized (on previous cruises all we had to do was exit the terminal and get on a bus then go). We had a wait of at least 45 minutes to get the bus and then our bus had to turn back around to pick up some passengers that had missed the announcement that the bus was leaving! If you're heading for the John Wayne Airport you have to go to Long Beach airport first. Not really that much out of the way but not a direct route either. A taxi would be a far better option!
DINING: We ate at the buffet and in the dining room. We also had room service for breakfast every morning (except the day of departure). The buffet area was well laid out but the food was at best mediocre. We chose the "Your Time Dining" for dinner and had no problem getting a table almost immediately when we got to the dining room. The choices available at dinner were good but all of the meals when they were delivered to our table were at best luke warm and could only be described as 'edible' in quality. The dining room service was good, some waiters were quicker than others, so the service was not consistent. Room service for breakfast was on time but some items ordered were not on the tray!
PUBLIC AREAS: The public areas were okay. The shopping area is really small and when there is a sale on it gets really crowded!
CABIN: The cabin (suite) was well designed with plenty of storage. There is no heating what so-ever in the cabin (not even a thermostat) so we turned off all the vents to prevent the cabin from getting any colder.
CHILDREN'S CLUB: Our grand-daughter had a wonderful time in the children's club. The kid's are divided into age groups and there are plenty of activities for the kids to do.
PORTS OF CALL / SHORE EXCURSIONS: The first port of call was Catalina Island.
In order to get to shore we were tendered in. It was very well organized and we had no problem getting a boat when we needed to go ashore. We went on the Inside Adventure Tour. This was a very fun tour as the guide told quite a lot about the Island and it was interesting to see the interior of the island.
The second port of call was Ensenada. We took the Blow Hole Tour and the only reason to take it was to see the area and to take a break from the ship! The bus ride was quite long (50 minutes to the Blow Hole) and the tour guide talked non-stop which was quite annoying, especially as the guide had a very strident voice and the loud speaker was on full volume. When you get to the Blow Hole it is a 5 minute trip to see it but you have to go through the market to get there. We had another 1 ½ hours to spend before the return trip to the ship. It's actually fun going through the market stalls! Less

Foe or Foie?: Top California Chefs Host a Protest Luncheonby Guest Blogger in News, July 26th, 2014
By Meesha Halm
Foie gras is polarizing. Diners either love it or hate the very idea. Buttery, ultra-rich duck liver has been one of the most venerated ingredients in a chef's arsenal for centuries. Whether floating in a soup at Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare or miso-cured at Acadia in Chicago, it's considered the ultimate luxury.
Not so in California, where foie gras has been banned since 2012. Foie gras hasn't exactly gone away in the Golden State; it's just gone underground. The sale and production of it are forbidden but consumption of it is not, so restaurateurs circumvent the ban by sending it out as a "gift from the chef." But some California chefs, including Ken Frank (La Toque), are willing to fight publicly for it. Last month, Frank and five top toques rallied to host "State of American Foie Gras," a protest luncheon at his Napa Valley restaurant.
