Because of South Carolina's history as an agricultural state many residents owned land. For more information about types of land records see South Carolina Land and Property.
Tracing records through South Carolina county and district changes can be difficult. In general, for earliest records begin by searching the Charleston District, then your ancestor's residential district, then neighboring districts, then the residential county, then neighboring counties. Not all districts and counties kept records. The following chart shows where you may best expect to find land records for Kershaw County:
|Government Office
|Kershaw County (new)
|Kershaw District
|Kershaw County (old)
|Richland County
|Lancaster County
|Fairfield County
|Camden District *
|Charleston District
|Proprietary Land Grants
* Some Camden District records are included with Kershaw County records
Plats For State Land Grants 1784-1868
This series consists of recorded copies of plats for state land grants for the Charleston and the Columbia Series with their certificates of admeasurement or certification. All personal names and geographic features on these plats are included in the repository's On-line Index to Plats for State Land Grants
The South Carolina Constitution of 1790 required the surveyor general to maintain offices in both the new capital at Columbia and in Charleston. The surveyor general began to use separate volumes for recording plats in his Columbia office in 1796. Before that, all plats were recorded in the set of volumes begun in Charleston in 1784. After 1796, most plats for land grants in the Upper Division of the state were recorded and filed in Columbia. The surveyor general chose to make the Columbia volumes a continuation of the state plat volumes begun in Charleston and gave the initial Columbia volume the number thirty-six to correspond with the number of the volume that had then been reached in the Charleston series. As a result, there are volumes numbered thirty-six through forty-three from each office, but the records in them are not duplicative.
Also included are the Plan Books containing Plats and Plans.

Vital Records[edit | edit source]
Birth, marriage, and death records were not recorded by South Carolina until the 1900s, thus leaving a lack of vital records. Substitute records, when available, are used to obtain this information. These substitute records including newspapers, court records have been added to this section, when applicable.
Birth[edit | edit source]
State-wide birth registration began in 1915. For a copy of a birth from 1915 or later, contact the South Carolina Department of Health. The Kershaw County Health Department also has copies but they provide only an abbreviated form with limited information. For more information, see the South Carolina Vital Records page.

Marriage[edit | edit source]
In South Carolina, marriage licenses were not required by local governments until 1 July 1911. However, in the 1700s, the Church of England parish churches were required to record all marriages - even if the couple were not members of the denomination. Not all churches recorded these marriages and some have not survived. See South Carolina Vital Records for more information.
The Kershaw County probate court holds marriage licenses issued from 1 July 1911 to the present. Statewide registration of marriages began in July 1950 and the South Carolina Division of Vital Records has copies of licenses issued after 1 July 1950 through November 2009.
Newspapers are used as a substitute to locate marriage information. See South Carolina Newspapers.

Puroresu (プロレス) is the popular term for the predominant style or genre of professional wrestling that has developed in Japan. The term comes from the Japanese pronunciation of "professional wrestling" (プロフェッショナル・レスリング), which is shortened to puroresu. In this sense, puroresu could be transliterated as pro-wres. The term became popular among English-speaking fans due to Hisaharu Tanabe's activities in the online Usenet community.[1][2] Growing out of origins in the traditional US style of wrestling, it has become an entity in itself. Japanese pro wrestling is distinct in its psychology and presentation of the sport.[2] It is treated as a legitimate fight, with fewer theatrics; the stories told in Japanese matches are about a fighter's spirit and perseverance.[2] In strong style, the style most typically associated with puroresu, full contact martial arts strikes and shoot submission holds are implemented.
The first Japanese to involve himself in catch wrestling, the basis of traditional professional wrestling, was former sumo wrestler Sorakichi Matsuda.[3] There were subsequent attempts before and after World War II to popularize the sport in Japan, but these generally failed until the advent of its first big star, Rikidōzan, in 1951, who became known as the "father" of the sport. Rikidōzan brought the sport to tremendous popularity with his Japanese Wrestling Association (JWA) until his murder in 1963.[4] Following his death, Puroresu thrived, creating a variety of personalities, promotions and styles.[5] It has also created a mass of other cultural icons in Japan including: Giant Baba, Antonio Inoki, Jushin "Thunder" Liger, Tiger Mask, Keiji Mutoh/The Great Muta, Mitsuharu Misawa, and Kenta Kobashi.[6] Throughout the years, a number of promotions have opened and closed, but a few have persisted to remain the most popular and thriving companies: New Japan Pro Wrestling is currently considered by many as the top promotion.
Overview Edit
Despite some similarities to the much more popular style of professional wrestling in the United States, Japanese wrestling is known for many differences from the Western style. Puroresu is known for its "fighting spirit" and the wrestlers are known for their full contact strikes. Many Japanese wrestlers have some degree of knowledge in many different martial arts and wrestling styles; because of this, there are usually doctors and trainers at ringside for assisting the wrestlers after a match.[7] Most matches have clean finishes and many of the promotions don't use any angles or gimmicks. Japanese wrestling is also known for its relationship with fellow mixed martial arts promotions. Wrestling and martial arts icon Antonio Inoki usually organizes wrestling matches and MMA fights on the same card. Puroresu still remains popular and it draws huge crowds from the major promotions. With this and its relationship with other martial arts disciplines, the audiences and wrestlers treat puroresu as a combat sport.[8]
It should be also noted that the term "Puroresu" in Japan refers to all professional wrestling, regardless of country of origin. For example, American promotions WWE and Impact Wrestling are referred to as "Puroresu" in Japan.[9][10]
Rules Edit
Puroresu has a variety of different rules, which can differ completely from wrestling in other countries. While there is no governing authority for puroresu, there is a general standard which has developed. Each promotion has their own variation, but all are similar enough to avoid confusion. Any convention described here is simply a standard, and may or may not correspond exactly with any given promotion's codified rules.
General structure Edit
Matches are held between two or more sides ("corners"). Each corner may consist of one wrestler, or a team of two or more. Most team matches are governed by tag team rules (see below). One notable difference from North American and, in recent years, European professional wrestling is that puroresu rarely has matches between more than two parties.
The match is won by scoring a "fall", which is generally consistent with standard professional wrestling:
- Pinning an opponent's shoulders to the mat for the referee's count of three.
- Submission victory, which sees the wrestler either tap out or verbally submit to their opponent.
- Knockout, the failure to regain composure at the referee's command
- Countout, the failure of a party to return to the ring at the referee's command, which is determined by a count of twenty (some federations use ten, but in Japanese wrestling they use twenty).
- Disqualification, the act of one wrestler breaking the rules.
Additional rules govern how the outcome of the match is to take place. One such example would be the Japanese Universal Wrestling Federation, as it does not allow pinfall victories in favor of submissions and knockouts; this is seen as an early influence of mixed martial arts, as some wrestlers broke away from traditional wrestling endings to matches in favor of legitimate outcomes. Another example is that most promotions disallow punches so a lot of wrestlers utilize open handed strikes and stiff forearms; this rule was also applied in the early stages of Pancrase.
Styles Edit
The dominant styles of Japanese professional wrestling were set in place by the two dominant promotions in Japan. New Japan Pro Wrestling, headed by Antonio Inoki, used Inoki's "strong style" approach of wrestling as a combat sport. Wrestlers incorporated kicks and strikes from martial arts disciplines, and a strong emphasis was placed on submission wrestling. Many of New Japan's wrestlers including top stars such as Shinya Hashimoto, Riki Choshu, and Keiji Mutoh came from a legitimate martial arts background. All Japan Pro Wrestling, under the direction of Shohei Baba, used a style referred to as "King's Road." The "King's Road" style was in large part derived from American wrestling, particularly the style of top wrestlers in the National Wrestling Alliance, such as Dory Funk Jr., Terry Funk, and Harley Race, all of whom wrestled for Baba in Japan. As such, "King's Road" placed a heavy emphasis on working of holds, brawling, and the storytelling elements of professional wrestling. Due to the rise of the "shootwrestling" promotions in the early 1980s, promising a decisive winner and loser at a time when the two mainstream promotions protected their top stars with screwjob or double count-out finishes, the major promotions have usually maintained a format of only clean finishes since then.
Throughout the 1990s, three individual styles -- shoot style, lucha libre, and hardcore—were the main divisions of independent promotions, but as a result of interpromoting, it is not unusual to see all three styles on the same card.
Joshi puroresu Edit
Puroresu done by female wrestlers is called joshi puroresu (女子プロレス) or joshi puro for short. Women's professional wrestling in Japan is usually handled by promotions that specialize in joshi puroresu, rather than divisions of otherwise male-dominated promotions as is the case in the United States (the only exception was FMW, a men's promotion which had a small women's division, but even then depended on talent from women's federations to provide competition). However, joshi puroresu promotions usually have agreements with male puroresu promotions such that they recognize each other's titles as legitimate, and may share cards.
All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling was the dominant joshi organization from the 1970s to the 1990s. AJW's first major star was Mach Fumiake in 1974, followed in 1975 by Jackie Sato and Maki Ueda, known as the "Beauty Pair". The early 1980s saw the fame of Jaguar Yokota and Devil Masami, major stars of the second wave of excellent workers who took the place of the glamour-based "Beauty Pair" generation. That decade would later see the rise of Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka, known as the "Crush Gals", who as a tag team achieved a level of unprecedented mainstream success in Japan, unheard of by any female wrestler in the history of professional wrestling all over the world. Their long running feud with Dump Matsumoto and her "Gokuaku Domei" ("Atrocious Alliance") stable would become extremely popular in Japan during the 1980s, with their televised matches resulting in some of the highest rated broadcasts in Japanese television as well as the promotion regularly selling out arenas.[11]
It was during the 1990s that joshi puroresu attracted much critical acclaim internationally, and several classic matches during these era competed by select joshi wrestlers were awarded 5-stars by the American wrestling publication Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Notable joshi wrestlers of the 1990s include Manami Toyota, Bull Nakano, Akira Hokuto, Cutie Suzuki, Aja Kong, Megumi Kudo, Shinobu Kandori, Kyoko Inoue, Takako Inoue (no relation to the former), Dynamite Kansai, and Mayumi Ozaki.
Puroresu on television Edit
Since its beginning, Japanese professional wrestling depended on television to reach a wide audience. Rikidōzan's matches in the 1950s, televised by Nippon TV, often attracted huge crowds to Tokyo giant screens. Eventually TV Asahi also gained the right to broadcast JWA, but eventually the two major broadcasters agreed to split the talent, centering about Rikidōzan's top two students: NTV for Giant Baba and his group, and Asahi for Antonio Inoki and his group. This arrangement continued after the JWA split into today's major promotions, New Japan and All Japan, led by Inoki and Baba respectively. In 2000, following the Pro Wrestling Noah split, NTV decided to follow the new venture rather than staying with All Japan. Nowadays, however, mirroring the decline that professional wrestling in the U.S. had in the 1970s and early 1980s, NOAH's Power Hour and New Japan's World Pro Wrestling have been largely relegated to the midnight hours by their broadcasters.
The advent of cable television and pay per view also enabled independents such as RINGS to rise. WOWOW had a working agreement with Akira Maeda that paid millions to RINGS when he was featured, but eventually was scrapped with Maeda's retirement and the subsequent RINGS collapse.
In 2009, due to the bearish global economy, NTV cancelled all wrestling programming, including NOAH's Power Hour (lesser affiliates still air large cards), marking the end of a tradition going back to Rikidozan.
Relations with professional wrestling beyond JapanEdit
Foreigners in Japanese circuits Edit
Since its establishment professional wrestling in Japan has depended on foreigners, called gaijin, particularly North Americans, to get its own stars over. Rikidōzan's JWA and its successor promotions All Japan Pro Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling were members of the American-based National Wrestling Alliance at various points, and used these connections to bring North American stars. International Pro Wrestling was the first Japanese promotion to link into European circuits. It was through IWE that Frenchman André the Giant got his international reputation for the first time.
In recent years, many of North America's most popular wrestlers, such as Sting, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Dynamite Kid, Big Van Vader, Mick Foley, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Sabu, Mil Máscaras, El Canek, Dos Caras, El Solitario, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, Travis Tomko, Giant Bernard, Bill Goldberg, Chris Sabin, Low Ki, Brock Lesnar, Davey Richards, Chris Hero, and others have wrestled in Japan, whereas others such as Stan Hansen spent much of their careers in Japan and thus are better known there than in their homeland. Even in joshi puroresu, a few notable foreigners have found success wrestling for joshi promotions, such as Monster Ripper, Madusa, Reggie Bennett, and Amazing Kong. The now defunct World Championship Wrestling had a strong talent exchange deal with New Japan Pro Wrestling, Ken Shamrock was among the first Americans to compete in shoot style competition in Japan, starting out in the UWF and later opened Pancrase with some other Japanese shootfighters.
As a result of the introduction of lucha libre into Japan, major Mexican stars also compete in Japan. The most popular Mexican wrestler to compete in Japan is Mil Máscaras, who is credited with introducing the high-flying moves of lucha libre to Japanese audiences,[12] which then led to the style called lucha-resu, later embodied by Tiger Mask.
Foreign wrestlers from diverse backgrounds have earned huge followings, sometimes greater than those of Japanese top rosters in respective Japanese promotions they have wrestled in. American Stan Hansen, Indian Tiger Jeet Singh, Canadian Abdullah the Butcher, and British wrestler Dynamite Kid were among those cited as top foreign grapplers in a recent poll of Japanese fans:
|Stan Hansen (USA)
|Bruiser Brody (USA)
|Abdullah the Butcher (Canada)
|The Destroyer (USA)
|Mil Máscaras (Mexico)
|Hulk Hogan (USA)
|André the Giant (France)
|Tiger Jeet Singh (Canada and India)
|Terry Funk (USA)
|The Road Warriors (USA)
Japanese stars abroad Edit
All Japan Pro Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling, as well as others, have also sent wrestlers to compete in the likes of the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Puerto Rico and so on. Usually, these talent exchanges are chances for puroresu stars to learn other styles to add to their own strengths. Some of the more famous examples of these exchanges are Masahiro Chono, The Great Muta and Jushin Thunder Liger in WCW, as well as ECW which featured talent from Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling and Michinoku Pro Wrestling.
Some joshi stars from AJW had wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation in the 1980s and 1990s, with The Jumping Bomb Angels and Bull Nakano known for being particularly successful.
GAEA Japan once had a working agreement with World Championship Wrestling in the mid-1990s, when the latter brought in wrestlers from GAEA to bolster the ranks of their then-fledgling women's division, with Akira Hokuto becoming the first and only WCW Women's Champion, and a WCW Women's Cruiserweight Championship was even introduced and defended in GAEA shows.
Recent examples of Japanese wrestlers working in foreign promotions include Satoshi Kojima in Major League Wrestling, Kenta Kobashi, Go Shiozaki, Takeshi Morishima, and KENTA in Ring of Honor, Hirooki Goto, Masato Yoshino, Tiger Mask IV, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kazuchika Okada, Seiya Sanada, and Ayako Hamada[14] in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Aja Kong, Dick Togo, The Great Sasuke, Jinsei Shinzaki, Kaori Yoneyama, Manami Toyota and Mayumi Ozaki in Chikara, Hideo Itami, Yoshitatsu, KENSO, Taka Michinoku, Asuka and most notably Shinsuke Nakamura in WWE, and Ayumi Kurihara, Hiroyo Matsumoto, Tomoka Nakagawa and in Shimmer Women Athletes.

George Clooney's putting together his next triple-threat project, writing, directing and starring in a film about the hunt for art pilfered by Nazis all across Europe during the Second World War.
Clooney, along with longtime collaborator Grant Heslov, is adapting "The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History," reported The Wrap.
"It's a fun movie because it could be big entertainment. It's a big budget, you can't do it small -- it's landing in Normandy," said Clooney.
U.S. & World
Here's the admittedly fascinating synopsis from the book's website:
The Monuments Men had a mandate from President Roosevelt and the support of General Eisenhower, but no vehicles, gasoline, typewriters, or authority. In a race against time to save the world's greatest cultural treasures from destruction at the hands of Nazi fanatics, each man gathered scraps and hints to construct his own treasure map using records recovered from bombed cathedrals and museums, the secret notes and journals of Rose Valland, a French museum employee who secretly tracked Nazi plunder through the rail yards of Paris, and even a tip from a dentist during a root canal.
It's hard not to ponder this film as a big-budget spectacle and not imagine it being a star-filled "Ocean's"-esque romp with a message, which, hey, sure... why not?
And when he's not busy working on "Monuments," he can start work on his awards season acceptance speech, as he's sure to get at least a few nominations for for "Ides of March" and/or "The Descendants."

In the past week, Facebook has prevented multiple services from using its Social Graph. It wants to keep its most precious data—knowing who people's true friends are—out of competitor's hands.
Other companies often implement Facebook's "Find Friends" feature into their signup processes. Products are more enjoyable to use when people you know are using them too. Twitter used to use Find Friends to suggest people to follow. Path uses it to show which of your friends are already on the service.
But apparently Facebook has had enough. It's utilizing a line in its platform policy that states, "Competing social networks: (a) You may not use Facebook Platform to export user data into a competing social network without our permission."
In the past few days, Facebook has prevented a voice-messaging app, Voxer, from utilizing Find Friends. It also blocked Twitter's new animated-GIF-style video app, Vine, from using its data.
Most recently, Facebook cut off a new social search app released by Yandex called Wonder just three hours after it launched. Yandex begged for its life; Facebook didn't care.
Facebook told TechCrunch it cuts off companies who are either competitors, or who contribute little back to Facebook.
Is it smart for Facebook to hoard its social data?
It depends how strict Facebook becomes. It could prevent competitors from using Facebook to their advantage, but it could also deter startups from building on its platform. A lot of new companies require Facebook's data and Find Friends feature to make their products worth while to early users.

Gaelic Storm steps back into the ring with the dazzling #1 Billboard World Album Chicken Boxer, a heavyweight record that comes out swinging with a mix of empowering anthems and traditional ballads. With catalog sales of more than 1 million, the group has now had three albums debut at #1 on the Billboard World Albums Chart, 2008's What's the Rumpus?, 2010's Cabbage, which remained parked in the top slot for three consecutive weeks, and 2012's Chicken Boxer. Chicken Boxer is the fifth album to be released on the band's own label, Lost Again Records, and showcases the incomparable songwriting and accomplished musicianship of a band that has made their mark bringing fans to their feet two hundred days per year. The group's ability to deftly incorporate a rock sensibility into their sound affords them rare crossover appeal. In recent years, they've performed on the same bill with acts ranging from Zac Brown Band and the Goo Goo Dolls to Emmylou Harris and Lyle Lovett, at events as varied as the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Milwaukee's Summerfest. With their signature acoustic production, Gaelic Storm blends indie-folk and world grooves with Celtic tradition to serve up a ringside seat for fifteen rounds of pugilistic poultry pounding sound. In other words, Chicken Boxer will knock you out.

published with interventions by Muller, Burke, Caffara, Brandmuller and De
Paolis who declare inadmissible the proposal to open in certain cases communion
todivorced and remarried. Scola and Pell are also on the same line. Kasper:
"No to a second marriage, but a raft for escape. It takes mercy"
the Doctrine of the Faith has published in a few weeks, two books to declare
inadmissible any change in the Church's position on an issue that is being
discussed by a synod. Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, who from 2012 took over
leadership of the former Holy Office last July has published a book-length
interview contrary to every opening to communion for the divorced and remarried
("The hope of the family" Ares Editions), and is now the most
prominent name among the authors of a new collection of essays entitled
"Remaining in the truth of Christ" (already released in the United
States, published in Italy by Cantagalli, the contents of which were released
in advance yesterday by Corriere della Sera ).
Bologna; Raymond Leo Burke, Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, and emeriti
Cardinals Walter Brandmüller and Velasio De Paolis, to which are added the
Archbishop Cyril Vasil', secretary of the Congregation for the Oriental
Churches, and other experts. Both volumes are devoted entirely to the issue of
participation in the Eucharist for the divorced and those living a second
marriage, declaring it inadmissible.
same line the contribution of Cardinal Angelo Scola and a book out from the
Australian Cardinal George Pell, "Economy Minister" Vatican - is
presented as a response to the hypothesized opening statements in February this
year by the German Cardinal Walter Kasper, whom Francis had entrusted the
introductory statement of the consistory. In the presence of all the cardinals,
Kasper had talked about the theme of the family and in the latter part of his
articulate speech had suggested - in each case, subject to certain conditions
and after a course of penance - the possibility of the divorced and remarried being
readmitted to communion. The report had many reactions among the cardinals, and
the next day, taking up the discourse, Francis had said he had found value in
it, saying that Kasper had a "kneeling theology" and to have found
"the love of the Church." In the following months following the
publication of this text, interviews have multiplied. The positions are
polarized, the confrontation and the clash taking place in the media, as it did
during the Second Vatican Council.
the Church to step outside herself to meet the men and women in the conditions
in which they live, wishes there should be celebrated two synods on the family:
the first extraordinary, will be held October 5 to 19 this year. The work will
continue with the involvement of local churches and in October 2015 a new
Synod, this time ordinary will conclude the reflections. Vatican Insider
interviewed Cardinal Walter Kasper about this.
has put forward a proposal on the possibility of communion for divorced and
remarried. In what way?
with the Pope - I asked questions and offered considerations for possible
answers. This is the main topic: the sacrament of marriage is a grace of God
that makes the couple a sign of His grace and His love in finality. But even a
Christian can fail and unfortunately many Christian marriages fail. God in His
faithfulness does not drop anyone and in His mercy gives to anyone who wants to
convert a new chance. Therefore the Church which is the sacrament that is the
sign and instrument of God's mercy, should be close, help, advise and encourage.
A Christian in this situation has a particular need of the grace of the
sacraments. A second marriage cannot be granted but - as said the Fathers of
the Church - after the shipwreck, a raft to survive. Not a second sacramental
marriage, but the sacramental means necessary in his situation. This is not a
solution for all cases, which are very different, but for those who do all that
is possible for them in their situation. "
rooted in the message of Jesus, the Church has no power to change it. This
point remains stationary. A second sacramental marriage, while the former
partner is alive, is not possible. But we must distinguish the doctrine of the
discipline, from the pastorally complex situations. In addition, the doctrine
of the Church is not a closed system: the Second Vatican Council teaches that
there is a development possible in the sense of a deepening. I wonder whether
it is possible in this case to provide a depth similar to what occurred in
ecclesiology: although the Catholic Church is the true Church of Christ, there
are elements of the ecclesial even outside the institutional boundaries of the
Catholic Church. In some cases, you might even recognize in a civil marriage the
elements of sacramental marriage? For example, the final commitment, love and
mutual caring, the Christian life, the public commitment that there is in de
facto couples? ".
contributions of five cardinals including Prefect Müller?
journalists: they were sent the text, I was not. Throughout my academic life
such a thing has never happened to me. "
Church, that the Cardinals have intervened in this manner and organized
publicly before a Synod?
post-conciliar period, there was resistance of some cardinals to Pope Paul VI,
also by the then Prefect of the Holy Office. But - if you are well informed -
not organized in this manner and in public. If the cardinals who are the
closest collaborators of the Pope, intervene in this way, at least as regards
the more recent history of the Church, we are faced with a new situation.
the Synodal discussion?
of pastoral experiences, arguments, in an atmosphere of listening. Not
ready-made answers, but clarification of the status quaestionis and then
there's a full year for discussion at the local level, prior to decisions in
2015. "
is central in the Old and New Testament? Surely mercy is not in contradiction
with the doctrine, because it is itself a revealed truth, and does not detract
from the commandments of the Lord, but it is a hermeneutical key to their
interpretation. Already Pope John XXIII at the opening of the council said:
"Today the Church must use the medicine of mercy rather than take up arms
of rigour." Mercy is therefore the central theme of the era and
post-conciliar Catholic Church. "

Hill author's parents survived barbarism of Nazis
by LEN LEAR
With Valentine's Day approaching, this is one of the most compelling love stories you will ever read. But it is so much more — a real-life political thriller, a rendezvous with history, a tale of moral courage in the face of the most despicable evil, murder, war, weapons of mass destruction and more. It is the material for a great recently-published book by a Chestnut Hill resident and possibly a great movie some day.
There are so many dramatic aspects to this story, one hardly knows where to start, but I will start 15 years ago when Bettina Hoerlin and her husband, Gino Segre, were moving from Gowen Avenue in East Mt. Airy, where they had lived for 17 years, to Rex Avenue in Chestnut Hill. Bettina, a beautiful, elegant 72-year-old with a great sense of humor, holds a doctorate degree in public policy sciences. She taught public health at the University of Pennsylvania for 17 years, served as Health Commissioner of Philadelphia and on the board of Friends of the Wissahickon and was a visiting professor at Haverford College. Her husband, now retired, was chairman of the physics department at the University of Pennsylvania who has authored three accessible scientific books published by Viking Press.
In the course of moving to Chestnut Hill 15 years ago, Bettina came across an old leather suitcase she did not recognize. (How many of us who have lived in homes for several years have boxes in an attic or basement that we have not looked at in years?) Eventually (eight years ago), Bettina went through the suitcase and discovered a box filled with over 500 letters handwritten by her parents, Kate Tietz Schmid and Hermann Hoerlin, to each other in Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1938.
Kate, a beautiful Munich resident who was half-Jewish, was originally married to Willi Schmid, a prominent cellist and musicologist who had been largely responsible for the revival of Baroque music in Germany. Although he was completely apolitical, Schmid was dragged from his house on June 30, 1934, "The Night of the Long Knives," and murdered along with dozens of others thought to be anti-Nazi. The Nazis later delivered Schmid's body in a coffin to Kate and apologized (they had actually been looking for another man named Willi Schmid) and even paid her reparations. The infamous Rudolf Hess personally apologized to her.
Kate, who had three children with Schmid, soon afterwards met Hermann Hoerlin, a handsome, world-record-setting mountaineer, physicist and staunch anti-Nazi who openly fought the Nazis' attempts to co-opt athletic organizations and throw out all Jews and other "non-Aryans." Kate and Hermann eventually got married in 1938, but they were on the verge of being arrested by the Nazis and sent to a concentration camp (the Nuremberg Laws prohibited marriage between Aryans and Jews) when Hermann used his influence with an old family friend, Fritz Wiedemann, who had been Hitler's commanding office in World War 1 and later became a high-ranking Nazi official, to help Kate and Hermann and their three children get out of Germany one month after their marriage. Bettina was born the following year, in 1939, in Binghamton, New York.
In 1941 Hermann was suspended from his job as a physicist and had his assets frozen after being suspected as a possible "enemy alien" since he had come here from Nazi Germany. He was reinstated, however, after the personal intervention of Eleanor Roosevelt.
"My parents were only interested in learning English and assimilating and contributing to this country," said Bettina. "They were hugely grateful to the U.S. for permitting them to come here from the hell of Nazi Germany."
In a strange twist, Hermann contributed to the World War II effort with his extensive European mountaineering maps that helped guide Allied reconnaissance missions. In 1953, he and Kate moved to the Atomic City of Los Alamos, New Mexico, where Hoerlin, by then a leading nuclear scientist, worked at the forefront of the first nuclear test ban treaty. Again he was brought under scrutiny, this time because of McCarthyism and Hoerlin's links with the American left-wing.
Bettina's dad lived to the age of 80; her mother, 86. He died in 1983, and she died in 1985. When Bettina discovered the box of their handwritten letters after her move to Chestnut Hill, she was in shock. "I never knew these letters existed," she said. "How many of us have the chance to peer into our parents' love life many years later? Some of the letters were pretty steamy. I wanted to translate the letters, which of course were all in German, but the task was too daunting. My German was lousy."
Bettina solicited the translation assistance of an elderly German woman in the area, but the woman gave up after translating about 50 letters because "it was just too emotional." Undaunted, Bettina took courses in German until her knowledge was strong enough, and then she spent more than a year translating more than 450 letters.
"I knew that if I didn't do it, nobody would," said Bettina, "and these letters deserve to be preserved for future generations … My parents' lives were shaped by world events, and true to that generation, they never talked about it. I felt it was up to me to tell their remarkable story, and in the process I discovered so many secrets and mysteries."
Those secrets and mysteries are now available to everyone, thanks to Bettina's 316-page book, "Steps of Courage: My Parents' Journey from Nazi Germany to America," published last September by AuthorHouse.
According to famed Chestnut Hill author Buzz Bissinger, "Bettina Hoerlin's 'Steps of Courage' is a story of love, adventure and terror. This alone makes it a wonderful read. The fact that every word of it is true, set against pre-war Nazi Germany, makes it even more special. Add to it the perspective from which it is told — a daughter discovering the incredible mystery of her parents — and you have something extraordinary."
And Kathryn Davis, winner of the 2006 Lannan Literary Award, has written, "'Steps of Courage' is that rare thing — a personal narrative that is at the same time historically significant and utterly spellbinding."
Although both of Bettina's parents were larger than life, their grounded, enduring love for each other was a beacon of inspiration for all who knew them. "Thoughtfulness and selflessness were consistent throughout my father's life," Bettina wrote on page 240. "Once when my parents had visited me in Philadelphia and I was helping them unpack in their hotel room, I came across a climbing rope. I asked my 78-year-old father about its purpose, and he answered, 'In case of fire, I can rescue Mummy,' The image of the two rappelling down from the 18th floor of a burning building has stayed with me."
Bettina and her husband have four children, all of whom live in other parts of the country. For now her mission is to promote her book, "a universal tale about two people who both showed great courage standing up for what is right, in the face of great obstacles. On my father's 80th birthday he told us the most critical quality to have in life was courage. Both he and my mother had an abundance of it." An agent is currently trying to get filmmakers in Hollywood interested in making a movie of "Steps of Courage."
The Chestnut Hill author was recently interviewed by reporter Claudia Gomez on the Fox29 News, and has appeared or will appear at The Big Blue Marble Bookstore in Mt. Airy, local book clubs and German organizations, the Hill at Whitemarsh, Chestnut Hill Rotary Club and New England Ski Museum. And she will be going on a book tour to Germany and Austria next month.

They make great toppings on grilled foods and more.
When fresh cherries and berries are in season and offered at good prices, like they are now, we just can't get enough.
Whether eaten out of hand, or used for recipes, they sure disappear quickly. Even the ones planned for storage in the freezer never seen to make it that far. If they're not gobbled up as snacks, they vanish rapidly into pancake batters, desserts, smoothies and, if you're feeling creative, savory sauces for entrées. While much of the fresh cherries and blueberries we purchase turn up at breakfast in jams and for desserts in cobblers, few utilize summer fruits in chutneys or sauces as an accompaniment to grilled foods. And that's a pity - as the colors of mahogany red Bing cherries and deeply hued blueberries are striking contrasts alongside the white interiors of grilled chicken, pork and fish.
Besides their role as escorts to grilled foods, chutneys also make superior companions to cubes of cheese baked inside squares of store-bought puff pastry. Served with a glass of wine, these puffy baked chutney bites make excellent eating while waiting for the grill to heat.
There are still weeks ahead of us for grilling, but the season for many summer fruit favorites, especially at these prices, goes by in a flash.

¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon cardamom
¼ to ½ teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes (add smallest amount to saucepan first)
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Rinse cherries, then pit them over a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan (you'll want to catch the juices for making the chutney); discard pits. To the saucepan, add the remaining ingredients, except for the salt and ground black pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer, simmering, uncovered, for 40 to 45 minutes or until thick. Season with salt and ground black pepper, to taste, then keep warm.

1 shallot, peeled and left whole
2 to 3 pieces star anise (use 2 pieces if anise pieces are large, 3, if small)
1 cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon butter
Set aside ¼ cup blueberries. Place remaining blueberries, wine and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until berries are soft and broken, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat and push berries (with liquid) through a strainer, reserving juices; discard pulp that remains in strainer. Return berry liquid to saucepan, adding the grape juice, brandy, vinegar, honey, ginger, shallot, anise, cinnamon and butter. Stirring occasionally, simmer sauce until it is thick and syrupy. (Be patient, it may take up to 30 minutes or more for sauce to thicken.) Before serving, remove ginger, shallot, anise and cinnamon and stir in reserved blueberries. Makes about 1¼ cups.

1 (8-ounce) block of Fontina cheese
½ cup chutney (homemade or store bought)
Cut cheese into 16 cubes. Thaw pastry and cut each sheet into 8 squares. Fit squares into the wells of a mini-muffin tin. Place each cheese cube onto the pastry, then divide chutney evenly over the cheese. Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven until pastry is golden brown and cheese is bubbly, about 15 minutes. Remove tins from oven onto a wire rack to cool, allowing pastry to set, about 5 minutes. Carefully remove pastries from tin, being careful not to burn yourself on the hot chutney filling. Makes 16 appetizers.
Choose cherries that are shiny, plump and firm. Their skins should not be broken and the stems intact, which helps to prolong shelf life. White spots on cherries are signs of mold and should be avoided. Store unwashed cherries in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to four days. Rinse cherries just before eating; for best flavor, bring cherries to room temperature before eating.
To freeze cherries, rinse, remove stems and pits and set out on paper toweling for 10 minutes. (Cherries may also be frozen with their pits.) Lay cherries in a single layer on a cookie sheet and refrigerate for 45 minutes, before freezing. (Chilled fruit will freeze faster and helps to prevent freezer burn by minimizing damage to the fruit's cell structure.) Once cherries are frozen, place in plastic bags or freezer containers. Store frozen cherries for up to one year.
Some people don't wash blueberries before freezing because to do so can toughen their skins. But, because I often bake with frozen blueberries and add them to batters directly from the freezer (frozen blueberries that have been allowed to thaw will "bleed" into batters), I always rinse the blueberries prior to freezing. After berries are rinsed, air dry or dry on paper towels, removing any stems that remain on the berries. Place berries in a single layer on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 45 minutes before placing baking sheet in the freezer. Once blueberries are frozen, pack in freezable containers, sealing well. For best flavor, use frozen blueberries within one year.

Echolink Node Native on Linux with Svxlink, and a Cheap PTT Hardware Interface August 8, 2011Posted by GuySoft in Crictor, diy, Electronics, Hamakor, ITU, linux, open source, programming, wireless.

10 comments Hey all,
I recently got my amateur HAM Radio license from the Israel ministry of communication. My call sign is 4Z7GAI.
I have been working on getting an Echolink node running on the Jerusalem repeater using Linux. Echolink is a closed proprietary software that lets you connect ham radios to one another and key them across the Internet. Luckily someone wrote a FOSS program called Svxlink, which lets you connect to the Echolink network on Linux., A remote radio control with an echolink server, svxlink-server and an Echolink graphical client, Qtel. I am going to explain in this post how to get svxlink compiled and working (compiling is the hard part). I will also giving out here an Ubuntu package for the lazy ones among you.
I will also add a small section on the physical connection to the radio, an old Icom IC-02AT from the 80s (around my age). (more…)

Last night on RuPaul's All Stars Drag Race a surprise elimination took place as we headed into the final three. Synergy really whips through 'em fast, doesn't it?
For the mini challenge the sometimes ladies had to go back to their roots – manhood. Ru challenged them to a butch guy photoshoot. If you imagined it was sort of a mess, you were right. Manila Luzon shoved a banana in her pants. Chad Michaels looked like "Burt Reynolds and Cher had a baby," according to Jujubee.
Those photos were TERRIBLE! Poor Latrice Royale lamented about how she has difficulty feeling sexy as a man – or a woman.
In the end Yarlexis was able to snag the sexy real men photo win, which isn't saying much.
For the main challenge Ru requested the girls punk the public. Dressed in drag they had to play a little game called "Queens Behaving Badly." Ru carted them all over to Hollywood Blvd where they had to harass tourists and the like into doing ridiculous pranks called upon by their partners through an ear piece. Each prank had a score. It was sort of a street-side variety show and it was kind of interesting but sort of low-brow.
