From sunset on Sunday until Sunset on Monday, November 12th is the anniversary of the Birth of Baha'u'llah (which means the Glory of God in Arabic).  His 190th in this the 164th year of the Baha'i Era (which started with the declaration of Baha'u'llah's forerunner, "the Gate" in 1844 CE).  My internet connection had been having some dificulties which was very frustrating...   Anyway... then a few friends came over, one of whom, Umesh, is thinking of maybe moving to my school (as a foreign teacher) next semester, and we said some prayers, after they left the school's two computer techies came over and kind of fixed my internet (but maybe not 100% yet) so i've sent an email to my computer-wiz brother to see about the permanent solution...  One of the techies is a Muslim, he always finds the Greatest Name symbol very interesting... i keep having to type arp -d in the C:\ program to get my internet back up every 10 min or so which is quite annoying (but it comes right up when i do that-- which is GOOD)!
