I hope that everyone who is able will contribute to aiding the victims of Katrina. I personally recommend Samaritan's Purse. Please visit Instapundit for a comprehensive list of charities and relief organizations. God Bless our brothers and sisters in the south.

Hurricane Disaster
A great suggestion from Hugh Hewitt
Misery, Misery, Misery
Although the loss of life appears to have been low, the scale of the misery that will follow Katrina is almost unimaginable.
The miles and miles of submerged homes, sunken cars and damaged businesses are astonsihing to see. I am sure that among those businesses are scores if not hundreds that just opened, were just getting their momentum, just reaching the black and then this happens.
I hope the Hollywood/Nashville types get their act tgether on a relief effort that could be telecast, as with the 9/11 concert.
And perhaps the bloggers could agree to set a day for a unified blog beg, and I am open to suggestions on the recipient organization, though I hope it would be an organization that makes loans/grants to people to get houses and businesses repaired. The relief groups like Samaritan's Purse will help with immediate shelter and food needs, but rebuilding will be a long and expensive process. Let me know if you have ideas on a recipient, or if you are a blogger willing to coordinate some fund-raising.

new server
I completed moving to our new server and our new host. I'll be moving to a new database server in September. Hopefully my new host will be able to support OtherSingles.com as I scale up. I am primarily focused on driving traffic organically. Paid advertising is getting way too expensive.

OtherSingles.com match: kimberly7 and ??
Kimberly7 met her match and married him on OtherSingles.com
She writes:
I just wanted everyone to know that it does happen, Love and Marriage on the internet that is. Thanks to Edward and this site I met the man I'm going to spend my life with. It started with an e-mail I received from him on Valentine's Day which of course I find very ironic now. We sent e-mails back and forth for a week before he called me. From the time I picked up the phone it was like speaking with someone I had known all my life. From that day forward we have been inseperable via phone & e-mail. I went to meet him face to face at the end of May 2004 and it was everything I could have ever hoped for and more. He came to meet my family at the end of June 2004 and of course they all saw in him what I do. I will be leaving the US to live with David in Wales on October 8th 04'. We are getting married on 05-05-05 which of course will be one of the happiest days of my life.......

My name is Love. My name symbolizes that inexplicable and mysterious feeling which connects all people on light. Who searches for love - that finds, who does not search for it - that loses. So at us speak in Russia. I about these completely agree. I want it to find again. I want to find love though at territory of light. I do not want to be not loved. I want to love and be loved. I search for the simple kind, sympathetic and understanding person whom I can accept me such what is. I the simple Russian girl. But I think, someone can appreciate me and can find in me that is not present in anybody the other person.

Now I have decided to start to search for the happiness itself. I understand, that it is very courageous, but I do not see other way to find the happiness. I think, that for the happiness it is necessary to struggle, because can come nothing simply so.

Hello my new friend!!!
My name Lyubov. Literally from Russian my name means "Love". However, not looking on the name, I could not learn magic feeling of love. I am tired to wait, that someone will once find me. Now I have decided to start to search for the happiness itself. I understand, that it is very courageous, but I do not see other way to find the happiness. I think, that for the happiness it is necessary to struggle, because can come nothing simply so. How to be spoken in Russia “ who searches - that finds, who does not search - that loses ”. I have decided to take advantage of the Internet what to find to myself such person with whom I can divide all dreams and desires. Every day there leaves my youth, and it does not decorate me. Though in due course we become wiser, but I would like from a life of the greater. I have gone to the Internet in searches of the partner in life with which I can divide the life, the destiny.
You will ask me, why you! And why is not present, in fact to find the close person it is possible there where sometimes you do not wait. You will ask me, why not houses! Simply because here I have found only a pain and disappointment. But all over again I would like to tell a little about myself.
To me of 35 years. Once I was already married, but could not find with this person of happiness and simple pleasures of a life. The only thing that I have received it bitterness of disappointment and lie. Therefore I hate lie and treachery. Therefore my slogan in this life “ to not act with people how you do not want, that acted with you ”. Therefore for me very important sincerity and honesty in relations.
I live in small city Zelenyy Dol, republic Tatarstan. Literally from Russian the name of my city is meant with " the Green Valley ”. My city really green since in it many trees and colors are valid. I have finished university where has received the diploma « the expert on landscape construction ». Now I work in one of small flower shops of our city, the seller as the adviser. I very much love the work as in my work the creative approach and flowers is necessary is charm of the nature.
My life is a flower. And I would like blossom similarly to this. To bring happiness and beauty in this world. Similarly to a flower I want to blossom from love. To present everything, that I can to loved to the man. My purpose for today, it to find the the man.
In my life it is so much words which mean so much. I would like that all these words became my reality, instead of simply meant something. And were really embodied during my life. There can be with you I shall find the happiness. There can be you my destiny?
