THE RESIDENTIAL property market is showing no sign of recovery after statistics released by the Central Bank yesterday revealed that the fall in prices continued and intensified during the last quarter of 2011.
The latest stats reveal that residential prices in coastal towns continue to be the hardest hit while the capital Nicosia is also showing signs of vulnerability to the ongoing economic crisis.
Overall, residential property prices recorded a decrease of 1.8 per cent, doubling the price fall observed during the third quarter of 2011. The latest decline was slightly larger for house prices (1.9 per cent) compared with apartment prices (1.6 per cent).
The largest quarterly decline in house prices was registered in Famagusta (4.5 per cent), while the largest quarterly decline in apartment prices was in Larnaca (4.2 per cent).
In contrast, Nicosia registered the smallest decline in house prices (0.9 per cent) while a marginal increase in apartment prices was recorded in Famagusta (0.3 per cent).
Despite this, apartment prices in Famagusta have registered the second largest decline (after Paphos) since the first quarter of 2010. On the other hand, residential property prices in Nicosia, although relatively stable at the end of 2010, have also begun to retreat following, to a lesser extent, the downward trend recorded in the residential property prices of other districts.
On a year-on-year basis, residential property prices in Cyprus declined by 5.6 per cent when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Apartment prices registered the biggest annual decline since 2010 (7.2 per cent). The reduction was smaller for house prices, which in the fourth quarter of 2011 shrank by 4.7 per cent.
The annual decline in prices was recorded in all districts, with the largest registered in Famagusta (10.7 per cent), followed by Larnaca (8.8 per cent). The smallest reduction in residential property prices was registered in Nicosia (2.0 per cent), which recorded the smallest decline in both house and apartment prices (1.2 per cent and 3.1 per cent respectively).
However, these annual reductions were the largest registered in Nicosia since 2010, suggesting that residential property prices in the capital have also started to be affected by weak market conditions.
Larnaca recorded the largest annual decline in apartment prices (13.9 per cent), while the largest decrease in house prices was registered in Famagusta (8.3 per cent).

I sincerely hope the usual suspects don't try one on with Hang Em Hi. God knows what he will do when he discovers his developers mortgage and his lawyers were helping them out.
Its not a joke Koumbarie, Im serious.
Ha ha."Fooknodeedy" sounds and rhymes with the Chinese word for " get rich". They will love that!!!
Have another brandy sour my friend.
Fooknodeedy, Fooknodeedy. Very lucky!!!
You want another flat my friend with Fooknodeedy?
Yes Fooknodeedy very good.
Larnaca region needs infrastructure development and looking likelier to get it. Geographically the Island is very well positioned for future growth, better balanced away from the Brit brigade and attracting much wider and potentially many much better-off visitors. Just need a Government that can properly plan for all this, incl the Gas. what Chance? Hmmm, next Question!!
Sadly the comments will fall on deaf ears. Banks will still use developers indebtedness as an asset on their books and title will remain almost impossible to secure unless vast sums are paid over to clear other peoples debts which, for most, is impossible.
The status quo will continue until someone else discovers the sun in Cyprus and starts buying in bulk as the British did. Whether that proves to be Russians, Chinese, Iranians, Israelis, Saudis, Belgians, Brazilians or Argentinians remains to be seen. Nothing will change, the problem will remain but be directed at someone other than Brits, Irish and Scandinavians.
So much for Humans having the capacity to learn by theirs and others mistakes.
Bill to repossess homes put on the backburner!
With articles like the above appearing it is hardly surprising that prices are falling.
It seems that the developers, banks and lawyers don't think it is wise to stop digging when they find themselves at the bottom of a very deep hole. In fact they seem to be digging ever harder and ever deeper.
Who would want to buy in Cyprus, now that this dishonesty and corruption has come to light.
I feel sorry for the ordinary Cypriot. What will they be left with when new buyers avoid Cyprus and thousands have their homes repossessed through no fault of their own. Don't sell all your goats and vines! The goose that laid the golden egg has just been souvlakied.
Aren't you referring to the Chinese province of Goinggoingdown province in the greater region of Fooknodeedy?
George – LOL that made me chuckle out loud!
Cyprus is going to feature in the sequel to Team America if it's not careful.
Roneree I am so roneree….
@Gavin and Frank
Don't worry my friends, no problem, soon the boys from Guongdong province will be here to save us, well they only need to save Larnakas, forget the rest except Famagusta region.
Lets hope their English isnt so good and Chinese government doesn't tell them all this malakias about title deeds/kouchaneis and soon we will be eating meze again every weekend and spending like a leventis in bouzoukia nightclubs.
Well put! However, I wish the perpetrators of the Property Fraud neither 'Rest' nor 'Peace'.
Although the economic downturn cannot be waived away, certainly for potential non-Cypriot purchasers of real estate, it's all about title deeds.
You're dead in the water, Cyprus. No title deeds at point of sale, no more house sales. This in turn spells Armageddon for property developers, banks, construction employment and the wider economy. Because of your greed, inaction and 'artful ways', you're reaping what you've sown. RIP.

So you're thinking of taking the giant leap into the less traveled places and want to travel to India? Maybe you've already traveled on the backpacker's trail in SE Asia and feel like you've mastered your skills and feel ready to take on a more challenging destination. In my experience, I did the opposite – India was the first ever country I went to in Asia, and that too Delhi, which sent a shockwave through my newbie traveler system.
Of all the countries in South Asia, India is one of the most inspiring, life altering, and challenging countries you will ever experience. I wish I would have known some of these tips before going to India, but instead I had to learn the hard way. I wish you an incredible journey in this exhilarating land of seductive wonders. Without further pause, here are some of my top tips for travelers heading to India for the first time.
1) Never Accept the First Price You're Told
Don't accept the initial price for a rickshaw ride (or anything else for that matter) at face value. Always, always bargain! In fact, that's what the locals expect you to do and if you don't they will take you as a fool. Lots of rickshaw drivers just automatically assume you're rich because you're a Westerner and will try to bleed you for everything they can, so just make sure you're aware of the general price before catching any rickshaw ride or buying anything from a shop.
Most of the times there are no fixed prices listed on anything, and you have to negotiate with the shopkeeper. A rule of thumb is generally to knock the price in half, then work your way up from there. If they won't compromise or agree on a price, simply walk away. Then you can look behind you and watch the rickshaw drivers chasing after you, willing to finally negotiate. Just don't let yourself get taken for a sucker, since lots of people you deal with in India will think you are just that, unfortunately.
2) Always Book Your Train and Bus Tickets Well in Advance
If you don't manage to book your train and bus tickets in advance, you might just end up in the living Hell that is traveling on a local bus or General Class train. Since there are just far too many people in India, you always have to keep on your toes about where you are heading next, and make sure you plan your route well in advance.
Don't think it's possible to just show up at the train/bus station and get a ticket on the spot, since chances are they will only have a General Class seat available, which is every local Indian's nightmare. If you have to travel in general class, especially at night, be prepared to be traumatized. The moment you walk on a night bus and are forced to sit in general class, is the moment where you'll be crushed up against six sweaty strangers in a box of a compartment, with no fan or windows in the boiling heat of the night with all eyes on you, the foreigner.
Chances are you'll have people prodding and touching you with all different body parts. I even woke up from a five minutes sleep with someone massaging my feet! It was utter hell and I ended up staying awake all night, paranoid someone might grab at me or harass me in some way, and I couldn't sleep for the whole 19 hour ride.
The local buses in India are also a disaster. Sure, they're cheap, but you have to sit on a metal sheet of a seat without fans or A/C. At times if the bus is crowded you'll end up being forced to sit in the aisle of the bus. I ended up in this situation on the way to Mysore and had the choice of either hanging around a shady bus station at 3AM or hopping on the local bus – I chose the latter, and to my detriment I ended up cramped and hunched down in the bus aisle with a bunch of pot bellies of creepy old men hovering over me. One of the best sites to book a bus in advance is Red Bus.
3) Don't Ever Let Someone Else in Your Rickshaw Ride
At times when you take an autorickshaw to get around town, the driver with often try to pick up some other locals and invite them in your ride. At the same time the driver will proceed to try and charge you for the majority of the ride, and charge the locals less.
Especially do not let a man/group of men share your ride, since this could lead you into a dangerous situation. If the drive lets anyone else in your rickshaw, either A) Force him to pull over and get out of the rickshaw and don't pay him or B) Tell him he has to stop and get the other people out of your ride, especially if he refuses to lower the initial price he quoted you to match the price for the others in your rickshaw.
4) Nothing Is What It Seems
If a shopkeeper tries telling you something is "real" gold or a "real" gem, or real silk, always take what they tell you at face value. There are hundreds of markets and shops in India set up to fool foreigners into paying an outrageous price for goods, which lots of the time are not even the real quality goods.
Always buy from a reputable store, such as Tanishq, which is a well known chain throughout India. This is so you know what you are getting, rather then buying something fake from a shady guy selling supposed real Kashmiri silk out of the back of his cycle rickshaw.
5) Be Polite, But Take No Shit
India is a tough country to travel, and due to all the people struggling for survival on a day to day basis, it is truly a dog eat dog world here. You have to be able to shut someone down the minute they try taking you for a fool or harassing you, and don't be afraid to lash out when someone tries intimidating you. As long as you make a scene, that person will usually back off, since all the collective eyes will immediately be on you and them.
If you're a woman it's best advised not to make eye contact with the men, since in India they usually take this as the green light for talking with you or as an advance from your part, that could open you up to all kinds of bullcrap. I've had all kinds of things happen to me while traveling alone in India as a woman, such as gangs of men stalking me outside of temples, priests of temples following me around the entire time demanding money, people trying to force me to buy something from their shop, cows nearly impaling me with their horns, men flashing porn to me on their phones in the streets thinking somehow this would get me to talk to them, and rickshaw drivers trying to take me for a ride then verbally attacking me whenever I protested. You have to be able to hold your own in India and don't show any vulnerabilities or weaknesses. Although there are kind people out there that would be willing to help you if you're a woman alone, there are also tons of people who would have nothing but evil intentions for you, especially since traveling as a woman alone in India is not the cultural norm.
6) You Get What You Pay For
When it comes to guesthouses, hostels, and hotels in India, you truly get what you pay for. Not to mention India does not yet have the tourist infrastructure to cater to backpackers, so hostels and other actual guesthouses are rare here. Most of the times your best bet is to get a hotel, and make sure you check out the room first before agreeing to pay. One time I checked into a room in Chennai, and the room was covered in wet towels and garbage from the people who'd previously stayed there and was just utterly trashed, so I refused to stay there and just walked out.
A lot of the guesthouses I stayed at in Varanasi and other cities were total shams, and I'd have felt more comfort staying in prison cell than their guesthouse. Most of the times you'll be met with a fat, hairy grumpy shirtless guy at the front desk grunting and reluctantly showing you your prison cell of a room, and the lingering staring men hanging around the common area don't make it any more comforting either.
I'm a sucker for challenges, and India was one of the greatest challenges for me. It helped strengthen and energize my desire to travel and learn about the world. Where would you rank India on the list of places in South Asia to explore? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Petty Officer Nathan Bruckenthal
United States Coast Guard
Return to Virtual Wall of Heroes
Return To Coast Guard Stories
Northport Observer
By Rob Morrison
The last time he saw his son was around Christmas time and for North-port Police Chief Ric Bruckenthal it has been too long, especially now that the 23-year-old has been deployed to the Persian Gulf and is serving his country in the war with Iraq. Chief Bruckenthal's son, Damage Control Petty Officer Nathan Bruckenthal, a member of the Tactical Law Enforcement. Team (TACLET South) of the U.S. Coast Guard, was deployed to the Persian Gulf about a month ago. Though his father has received some correspondences, he is unaware of his son location and proximity to the war.
Before being sent to war. Petty Officer Bruckenthal was stationed at the Opa Locka Air Base in Dania Beach, Florida, just outside of Miami. As a member of the TACLET team for nine months, Officer Bruckenthal conducted boardings of other vessels to search for narcotics and other Illegal activity. "In the past he did counter narcotics interdictions and now he is obviously doing other kinds of boardings, Chief Bruckenthal said. "Quite frankly I don't know what he's doing now." All his father knows is that his son was deployed to the Persian. Three weeks after his deployment Officer Bruckenthal called his father via satellite phone Monday, March 1-7. He did receive two quick emails from him," Chief Bruckenthal said. "One Indicated that he had been deployed on to a naval vessel and he was going to do what he is trained to do. That's the last I heard from him. He was concerned. Even at the time he was deployed he was certain that this was going to heat up and be a real war."
Officer Bruckenthal left his wife of one year, Pattle, and their dog Matilda. In fact, he missed their one-year anniversary March 16.
According to his father Officer Bruckenthal went into the Coast Guard after graduating high school. He spent the first year on a coast guard cutter off Montauk Point before he was transferred for two years to Neah Bay in Washington.
"I had some Influence on him," Chief Bruckenthal said. "He was a little unfocused after high school. He realized it might be a good thing. I didn't think it would be a bad choice. He always had an affinity for law enforcement work and fire-fighting work." As his time in the coast guard came to an end. Officer Bruckenthal decided to continue his work and joined the TACLET team, not knowing that the move would send him to the Persian Gulf. Though he was scheduled to be deployed in September, he did not leave until the end of February. "You worry about your child," he said. "I worry about everybody's children and brother. The politics aside, you have to support these service people that are there. They're not playing politics. They are the ones enforcing our government's policy. I have nothing but 110 percent support for them.
Whatever can be done to get those people home with the least amount of casualties on our part is what I support. You have awful thoughts. I believe his strength lies In that he is with a unit that is very highly trained. You've got to retry on your strong points." Chief Bruckenthal told The Observer Tuesday that his biggest fear is how the troops will be treated when they return from war. "I also lived through the negativism of the Vietnam War," Chief Bruckenthal said. "I lost close friends In the Vietnam War. We misdirected our hatred for the war towards the service people that were fighting over there. It took us a long time to recognize the sacrifices people made In the Vietnam War. I certainly don't want to see that happen in this war. These are just men and women who are over there doing their jobs."

The first season of Mike Judge's Silicon Valley was a pretty good start for a comedy series, most of which seem to find a harder time breaking out than dramas these days. People should point out more that this "golden age of television" so many critics refer to really just applies to one genre- the golden age of TV comedy probably still belongs to the 1970's, when shows like MASH, All in the Family, Mary Tyler Moore and Taxi were changing television in their own right.
But this show has managed to put together a solid ensemble cast and really just seemed to be hitting its stride as it neared the end of its truncated, eight episode first season. Set in the male-oriented Silicon Valley, Thomas Middleditch stars as the mild-mannered and decent Richard Hendrix, who is offered millions of dollars for his compression algorithm in the first episode and instead chooses to start his own company with his roommates, all of whom are coders trying to make it big, ala Mark Zuckerberg. Richard is a fairly appealing lead, functioning as the straight man to his wacky pals, all of whom are well cast and have immediate chemistry with each other, the standouts being TJ Miller and Zach Woods. In the first half of the season Miller was poised to be the obvious scene stealer as Erlich, a kind of bombastic, arrogant, bluntly honest stoner who loves comparing himself to Steve Jobs and owns the house, thereby demanding his share of ownership of the company. Erlich's definitely funny but in some ways his presence was a little too overpowering in the early episodes, threatening to take over the show when a little of him went a very long way. But the show gradually made the character into much more of an asset by having him prove his true worth to Richard as the invaluable yin to his yang and revealing slightly more of a heart and brain than he originally let on. I actually grew to like Erlich and Richard's opposites attract partnership and can see that becoming the unlikely heart of the show as it goes forward.
Also great was Zach Woods, who's been popping up in bit parts on various comedy shows and movies for the last few years (you might remember him as Gabe on The Office). I've always thought if used properly his uniquely awkward persona could be really funny, and here he comes closest, especially in the last few episodes as he was given more and zanier material to play with (him interrogating random passers by in the finale while high on adderall was hilarious). Martin Starr and Kumail Nanjiani as Gilfoyle and Dinesh fill out the rest of the coders in support, and each are perfect at delivering the deadpan, Mike Judge dialogue that I freely admit might not be everyone's cup of tea. The tone of the show is low key and subtly funny at first, but Judge's humor is very particular and won't necessarily appeal to everyone. Still, for me this was a good start for a series that has loads of potential and a great cast that's clearly game for whatever comes their way. Unlike the other all guy-centered HBO show Entourage, the geekiness and self-consciousness of the guys on this one allow me find them a much more likable and appealing bunch (or maybe I just like nerds more than jocks, I don't know).
There was some criticism from some corners in the media this year that at least one female voice would be an improvement to the series, and there actually is one on the show in the form of Monica (Amanda Crew), who works with the guys on behalf of investor Peter Gregory (Christopher Evan Welch, who sadly passed away before the end of the first season and had created a pretty funny supporting character himself), but as of yet she's even more of a straight man than Richard and hasn't gotten anything particularly funny to do or say. But that could change, as they seemed to be increasing Monica's presence in the last half of the season, as well as planting the seeds of a potential romance with Richard. And rival investor Gavin Belson is hilarious in his supporting part as the new age, full of himself founder of Hooli (or "fake google" as I think of it), where non-working employees hang out on the roof hoping no one notices the paycheck they continue to cash for doing nothing. You can see that Judge and his writers really know what they're satirizing, as they take all kinds of shots at the tech industry and the culture surrounding it, to varying but mostly dead on effect. I enjoyed pretty much all of the first season of Silicon Valley and look forward to it coming back some time next year, hopefully with a longer run and a bigger (and funnier) role for Amanda Crew (at least give her a shot to see what she can do), but mostly this was an unqualified success for a debut comedy.

GPS tracker: Go paperless
Today is the first day of spring and just like homeowners who will be frantically jumping into their spring cleaning action, you may be thinking of making changes to your fleet business. Spring cleaning for fleet businesses can take a hectic office and make it an organizational, no-clutter, paperless dream. It would be much easier to focus on your business' productivity if you didn't feel like you were drowning in paperwork. GPS trackers can make this possible and easy for you.
Sifting through receipts in the file cabinet can be tedious! It's scary to think of how much time is wasted by rifling through bursting file cabinets. Just a little tip; If you have paperwork that is over seven years old, it might be time to shred that. Let's face it, having less paper means having a more rapid work environment; saving you time and money.
GPS trackers can help you manage so many things that will eliminate the need to keep around all that paper. Keeping track of important items like inventory can be done more flawlessly. GPS trackers also allow you to maintain other lists. For example, you would be able to track things like payment schedules, vehicle maintenance schedules, yearly tag renewals and more. Imagine being able to have alerted reminders sent to you via cell phone or e-mail.
With GPS trackers you would never have to rummage through a file cabinet to find financial records, because the GPS technology can help you keep track of invoices, payroll and overall accounting. An even better aspect is that you can print records stored in the GPS tracker system! Running your business doesn't have to feel like you're sinking. Spring cleaning that office and going paperless could save your fleet business and propel you into the digital age.

Hi! My name is Saana Lapinkangas, and I'm a founder and only worker in Lapinkettu's company. I was born 1991 in Oulu, but Lapland has always been very close to my heart. My mother is born and raised in North, so I quess it's in my blood. Lapinkettu means Fox of Lapland, and it contains all the things that are dear to me - animals ja nature of Lapland. I hope you can see all these things in our art, products design and ecofriendly values.
Lapinkettu was born in early 2016. I'm trained as graduate and wood artisan, but as an artist and designer I'm self-educated.
We use only Finnish manufacturers, and do as much by hand as possible. Personally it's very important to me, that we use renewable and local resources, such as wood and reindeer leather. Products need to feel warm and familiar, and bring joy for years.

Bravo I must say! But For how long can one think they can fool people just for some cheap publicity stunts. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan and at the same time not a hater. What I cant stand is the way I feel violated with all the bull crap of "claiming google shut her down" Well, sit back, relax and enjoy this read….I will take my time to explain to you how Linda and her friend Mr. Dee played a nice stunt on her readers.
First of all, Google cannot be reached that easily, secondly, google sends warning emails before taking any drastic action on their bloggers. So my dear Linda, STOP giving google a bad name…..Besides, if google is that bad.
Why are you still blogging on their platform? Shouldn't you have ran with Dunlop Elite tires on your legs? Now let's dissect this her so called "takedown" story; So Linda tells Nigerians that her blog was taken down by google and we all started blaming and blasting without doing our homework.
Well, sorry to burst your bubbles because her blog was NEVER taken down by google but by her and the guy in question. I spoke with some IT guys here in Phoenix and LA and another from Go-daddy in scottsdale (Thank goodness for asking questions oo) and they told me that google can never take down someones blog without a 'warn' or notification. It has never happened and "who is she" to get such attention from google.
Besides, when it comes to entertainment, everyone copies from everyone even here in the USA so how did hers become such a big deal in such a short time….LOL They agreed I use their names so will go by names from here….. Kent who works with Facebook (former staff with google) and IT tech told me that one can take down their blog and reinstate it by themselves as long as it doesn't exceed a period of 3 months.
When I showed him the screen shoot from her "take down" story He laughed so hard that I felt stupid for even bothering to blog about the whole thing in the first place.
Anyways, I played blonde just to get my fact right. I asked Kent how that is possible and he said that I should just go to my Blogger dashboard and follow the steps below;
How To delete your blog:
Sign in to blogger.com.
Next to the blog you want to delete, select Settings from the drop-down..
Select Settings.
Under "Settings" on the left side of the page, click Other.
Go to "Blog tools."
Optional Click Export blog to save a copy on your hard drive.
Click Delete this blog.
As scary as it sounds, LOL I decided to try it BUT……. With a test blog I created. and yup! it worked just like he said (See that at the end of the post)
And I was told she even posted another stuff about her and the guy…..Out of curiosity when some reader sent the link to me, I decided to read it. And yes! Did she give her self away without knowing it. Linda claimed the chat was through hangout right? Well, let me break that down for you.
Google hangout is your gmail account. Everything you do on google is through that gmail account you signed up with. And just like hangouts works, you can not change someones name or not know who the person is. So how can Linda be chatting and not see the name as it showed on her screen shots that it was her so called "rival"? Tim, the IT that works with Go-daddy here in Scottsdale said, that her screenshot and part of her copy and paste chat didn't add up….LOL wait for it…….if you go to her blog to read the convo with Aye guy, You will notice that some path of the copy and paste FONTS didn't rhyme with some. It showed edited writing. I took the pleasure to screen grab that as well.
Thats just the least from the many edited so called chat. So my dear fellow Nigerians, see what people do just to stay on top of fame….She may have fooled many.
As for the Aye guy that took and is taking in all the abuse for Linda…..I really admire your courage and I hope Linda sees that and keeps you for ever! Guys like you are hard to find… Bravo!
You two definitely have played a Beyonce and JayZ on us but not for so long my dears..

The Fifth Sunday of Holy and Great Lent: Saint Mary of Egypt/
My beloved spiritual children in Christ Our Only True God and Our Only True Savior,
On the Fifth Sunday of Holy and Great Lent the Holy Orthodox Church commemorates our Righteous Mother Mary of Egypt. The feast day of Saint Mary of Egypt is April 1st, however, she is also commemorated on this Sunday due to her recognition by the Church as a model of repentance.
Life of Saint Mary of Egypt
Our holy Mother Mary was born in Egypt. She had left her parents as the age of twelve to go to Alexandria, where she spent the next seventeen years in debauchery and the greatest profligacy. Living on charity and linen-weaving, she nevertheless offered her body to any man, not being forced to it by dire necessity as were so many poor women, but as though she were consumed by the fire of a desire that nothing was able to appease.
One day, seeing a crowd of Lybians and Egyptians moving towards the port, she followed them and set sail with them to Jerusalem, offering her body to pay her fare. When they arrived in the Holy City, she followed the crowd that was thronging towards the Church of the Resurrection, it being the day of the Exaltation of the Cross. But, when she reached the threshold of the church, an invisible force prevented her entering in spite of repeated efforts on her part, although the other pilgrims were able to go in without hindrance. Left alone in a corner of the Narthex, she began to realize that it was the impurity of her life that was preventing her approaching the holy Wood. She burst into tears and smote her breast and, seeing an icon of the Mother of God, made this prayer to her: "O Sovereign Lady, who didst bear God in the flesh, I know that I should not dare to look upon thine icon, thou who are pure in soul and body, because, debauched as I am, I must fill thee with disgust. But, as the God born of thee became man in order to call sinners to repentance, come to my aid! Allow me to go into the church and prostrate before His Cross. And, as soon as I have seen the Cross, I promise that I will renounce the world and all pleasures, and follow the path of salvation that thou willest to show me."
She felt herself suddenly freed from the power that had held her and was able to enter the church. There she fervently venerated the Holy Cross and then, returning to the icon of the Mother of God, declared herself ready to follow the path that the Virgin would show her. A voice replied to her from on high: "If you cross the Jordan, you will find rest."
Leaving the church, she bought three loaves with the alms a pilgrim had given her, discovered which road led to the Jordan and arrived one evening at the Church of Saint John the Baptist. After having washed in the river, she received Holy Communion in the Holy Mysteries, ate half of one of the loaves and went to sleep on the riverbank. The next morning, she crossed the river and lived from that time on in the desert, remaining there for forty-seven (47) years without ever encountering either another human being or any animal.
During the first seventeen years, her clothes soon having fallen into rags, burning with heat by day and shivering with cold by night, she fed on herbs and wild roots. But more than the physical trials, she had to face violent assaults from the passions and the memory of her sins and, throwing herself on the ground, she implored the Mother of God to come to her aid. Protected by God, who desires nothing but that the sinner should turn to Him and live, she uprooted all the passions from her heart by means of this extraordinary ascesis, and was able to turn the fire of carnal desire into a flame of divine love that made it possible for her to endure the implacable desert with joy, as though she were not in the flesh.
After all these years, a holy elder called Zosimas (April 4th), who, following the tradition instituted by Saint Efthymios, had gone into the desert across the Jordan for the period of the Great Fast, saw one day a human form with a body blackened by the sun and with hair white as bleached linen to its shoulders. He ran after this apparition that fled before him, begging it to give him its blessing and some saving words. When he came within ear-shot, Mary, calling by name him whom she had never seen, revealed to him that she was a woman and asked him to throw her his cloak that she might cover her nakedness.
At the urging of the monk, who was transported at having at last met a God-bearing being who has attained the perfection of monastic life, the Saint recounted to him with tears the story of her life and conversion. Then, having finished her account, she begged him to come the following year to the bank of the Jordan with Holy Communion.
When the day arrived, Zosimas saw Mary appearing on the further bank of the river. She made the sign of the Cross and crossed the Jordan, walking on the water. Having received Holy Communion weeping, she said: "Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace according to Thy word: for mine yes have seen Thy salvation" (St. Luke 2:29). She then took leave of Zosimas, asking him to meet her the following year in the place where they had first met.
When the year was past, Zosimas, going to the agreed spot, found the Saint's body stretched on the ground, her arms crossed and her face turned towards the East. His tearful emotion prevented him from noticing at once an inscription traced on the ground by the Saint, which read; give what is of dust to dust, after having prayed for me. I died on the first day of April, the very night of the Passion of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, after having partaken in the Holy Eucharist." Consoled in his grief by having learned the Saint's name, Zosimas was amazed to discover that she had, in several hours, covered a distance of more than twenty days' march.
After having vainly tried to break up the earth with a stick, he suddenly saw a lion approaching Mary's body and licking her feet. On the orders of the Elder, the beast dug a hole with its claws, in which Zosimas devoutly placed the Saint's holy body.
On his return to the monastery, he recounted the marvels that God had wrought for those who turn away from sin and move towards Him with all their hearts. From the hardened sinner that she had been, Mary has, for a great many souls crushed under the burden of sin, become a source of hope and a model of metanoia (conversion). This is why the Holy Fathers have placed the celebration of her memory at the end of the Great Fast as an encouragement for all who have neglected their salvation, proclaiming that repentance can bring them back to God even at the eleventh hour.

Hymns of the Feast
Apolytikion (Dismissal) Hymn: Plagal of the Fourth Tone
In you the image was preserved with exactness, O Mother; for taking up your cross, you did follow Christ, and by your deeds you did teach us to overlook the flesh, for it passes away, but to attend to the soul since it is immortal. Wherefore, O righteous Mary, your spirit rejoices with the
Kontakion Hymn: Fourth Tone
Having escaped the gloom of sin, O blest Mary, and shining brightly with the light of repentance, thou didst present they heart to Christ, O glorious one, bringing Him His Holy and all-immaculate Mother as a greatly merciful and most bold intercessor. Hence, thou the pardon of thy sins and with the Angels rejoices for evermore.
We sometimes forget that it takes a particular kind of courage to accept the truth about ourselves, especially when that truth is painful or requires something of us that we do not want to give. No one can force us to make true spiritual changes in our lives, so all the more do we need the clarity and fortitude to recognize and respond to the truth.
On this day we remember Saint Mary of Egypt for having the courage to acknowledge the obscene mess she had become and then to do what it took to set things right. When an invisible force prevented her from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, she asked for the help of the Theotokos, entered the church to venerate the Holy Cross, and obeyed a divine command to spend the rest of her life in repentance.
A Church that makes great Saints out of former prostitutes, murderers, and adulterers is both realistic about the corruption of our lives and optimistic that there is hope for every one of us to set things right and live faithfully because of the mercy of Jesus Christ. But we must have the courage to recognize honestly our brokenness, sickness, and imperfection, and then have the fortitude to take the often painful steps that are necessary to reorient our lives toward the Kingdom.
Before we begin the journey to the Cross on Palm Sunday, there is still time to examine our souls with brutal honesty, confess and repent, and take the steps we can to follow in the way of Jesus Christ. He made holy people out of prostitutes, thieves, murderers, and sinners of all kinds.
The Life of Saint Mary of Egypt teaches us that the values of the Holy Church are quite different from those of the world. She went out into the desert and had nothing, no friends, no home, no possessions, no clothes and hardly any food and drink. The world looked for pleasure, the satisfaction of the senses, money and power, but Saint Mary was moneyless and powerless in the world.
"If you cross the Jordan, you will find true peace." These mysterious words are today also addressed to each of us; the interpretation of their mystery is open to the souls of each of us, but only if we ask the Theotokos and St. Mary to guide us. And then we shall find out own "entry to Jerusalem".
"Our Church teaches that our personal salvation is neither a gift, nor a simple work, but rather a process and an undertaking that matures or develops gradually and is realized in the cooperation of two persons: God and man. On the part of God, Divine Grace (His uncreated Divine Energy) is offered to us, while for man's part, faith and righteous deeds are necessary. Consequently, the prerequisites for our personal salvation are the following: the Divine Grace or uncreated Divine Energy of God and the faith and virtuous deeds of man.
Our objective salvation is realized only in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whereas our personal or subjective salvation, which in the language of the New Testament is called righteousness, holiness, or salvation (in the narrow sense), is realized as a continuance of this objective salvation, with our personal energy or activity acting in co-operation with Divine Energy or Grace.
On the part of God, Divine Grace is absolutely necessary, for we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and we are justified by His grace, redeemed in Christ Jesus (Roman 3:23-24). For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Philip. 2:13). For by grace are ye saved through faith, and not that of yourselves: it is the gift of God--not by works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath beforehand ordained, that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:8-10)." (Saint Cleopas of Romania)
"Christianity, translated into life, is necessarily ascetic; it demands struggle, ascetic labor, and practice in realizing that ideal which is given by Christianity, as the norm of man's perfection. Christianity is unthinkable without the Church, or rather, it is the Church, as the living incarnation and realization both of those new beginnings of life which Christ brought to earth, and also of those conditions necessary for the incarnation of this ideal--for which reason without the Church there is not and cannot be any Christianity in the true meaning of the word; there is only the Christianization of a certain realm of thought of some other realm in man's life." (New Martyr Archbishop Feodor Pozdeyev)
The Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and Father, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
Glory Be To GOD For All Things!
With sincere agape in His Holy Diakonia,
The sinner and unworthy servant of God
+Father George

A Feminist Reading of La La Land
La La Land, director Damian Chazelle's critically beloved new film, is at first glance a story as glossy, dreamy, and surface-level glam as the city for which it's named. Chazelle's cinematic world, all primary colors and musical interludes, is one where the mundane—a traffic jam; the eternal quandary of whether to go out or veg out—can spark a wildly over-the-top song-and-dance number. As a tribute to Hollywood's golden age of movie musicals it captures the nostalgia and optimism of that era in film. As a love story, it's transporting, a charismatic, wistful duet between stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling (who are not, I should note, particularly good at singing, but it works).
If you want my topline impression, it can be summarized as: Go see La La Land; you will be very entertained and at least a little moved, and Chazelle's shiny vision is a great, much-needed diversion from the gritty, less-than-buoyant real world.
I'm not here, though, to go on about that. I'm here to talk about what runs beneath that burnished surface, which seems to me a strong current of gender critique. Is Damien Chazelle channeling his inner feminist in La La Land? I'm going to argue yes.
Stone is Mia, an aspiring actor stuck working as a barista at the coffee shop on the Warner Brothers lot, sneaking away on the regular for terrible auditions with distracted, unimaginative casting directors, and slowly losing confidence in the talent that made her leave behind her backwater birthplace in Boulder City, Nevada, for the bright lights of Hollywood. Her problem, the film asserts at various points, is that she's too dependent on external validation (then again, she's an actress).
You know who's not at all dependent on external validation? Gosling's Sebastian, a disgruntled jazz pianist whose purist notions of how jazz must be played and heard is very much not in keeping with the freedom and experimentation that drew him to the form in the first place. Sebastian scrapes by—and chips away at his soul—playing Christmas carols at cocktail bars, while dreaming of opening his own club, which he plans to call Chicken on a Stick even though that's obviously a really bad name. (Oh, yeah, La La Land can be really funny; that's another reason to go see it.)
It takes a series of meet cutes—in said traffic jam, at said Christmas-themed cocktail bar, at a pool party—before it's obvious to these two frustrated romantics that they should probably just fall in love. And that they do: Cue a montage of happy, halcyon summer days, then cut to the weather, and their ardor, cooling. _La La Lan_d is organized seasonally, and by autumn, there are more than a few hints that there's trouble in paradise.
As my colleague, exiting our screening, wondered: Will Ryan Gosling ever get a happy ending? The answer is still no. La La Land, as its whimsical title suggests, is a film about dreamers. But is there room enough for two dreams in one relationship? Nope, Chazelle seems to be suggesting.
Pursuit of their individual ambitions ultimately costs Mia and Sebastian their future together. To make money to open his club—and possibly to show his girlfriend that he can man up and get a real job—Sebastian joins a kind of terrible jazz fusion band fronted by John Legend, signing on to a Sisyphean cycle of recording, touring, recording, and touring. "When are you done?" Mia asks naively. The answer is basically never. Meanwhile Mia stays home slaving over her one-woman show, and bristles at the suggestion that she accompany her boyfriend on the road to make their relationship work.
Is there any simpler way to portend a feminist awakening than a one-woman show? I think not. Like whatever makes a butterfly finally emerge from its chrysalis, Goodbye Boulder City, Mia's monologue, springs her from a life of barista-ing and humiliating auditions. The early reviews may be negative—enough to send her running back to the womb/Boulder City—but ultimately the producers come a-knocking.
So by the end of their romance, our two heroes are at an impasse, Mia destined for a big role on a film shooting in Paris, and Sebastian's now the one left behind to "get my own thing going." They take a wait-and-see approach, but we all know what that means.
La La Land ends five years in the future. Mia is a big star, the kind who has her face plastered on billboards. She's also a mother and a wife, though not Sebastian's. Instead she married that guy from That Thing You Do (Tom Everett Scott), who seems to be there mostly to play the role of supportive house-husband and hunky red carpet escort. One night they go out and wander into a jazz club that just so happens to be the one Sebastian finally got it together to open (thankfully named Seb's, not Chicken on a Stick).
Kind of a strong move to show up in black tie with your husband at your ex's newly opened jazz club and leave him no choice but to perform for you, no? As Sebastian plunks out the opening notes of the song previously established as "their song," Mia enters a fugue state, a Sliding Doors–style trance in which she envisions a life that might have been, the road not taken.
Does she daydream about the compromises they might have made? What if they had just waited for each other? What if she had joined Sebastian on the road? What if she helped him open his club?
No, this is a fully feminist fantasy: Mia imagines Sebastian coming with her to France, whiling away his hours playing Parisian jazz clubs. She imagines herself pregnant with their child, painting the nursery walls pink. When the baby is born, he seems to be a boy. Why the pink nursery? Why not.
In this dream, Sebastian doesn't get the club, but he does get the girl. Mia, on the other hand, gets everything she wanted. It's her fantasy after all, but in a film that's all about the power of not giving up on your dreams, it seems that we should take note.
If nothing else, I like that Chazelle leaves us there. A little on the nose? Perhaps, but that's musicals for you. As the director told Vogue's John Powers: "Musicals are in a way the most truthful genre because they're emotionally truthful. They're about how the world makes us feel, not how it actually is."

Fiat Chrysler Investigated by Regulators Over Sales Reports
Dealer had accused Fiat Chrysler of rewarding stores that manipulated sales reports
Federal authorities are investigating whether Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV inflated sales reports, adding to mounting pressure on the Italian-U.S. auto maker and sharpening scrutiny of the way that car companies report their monthly volumes.
The U.S. Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating allegations raised earlier this year by an Illinois car dealer who claimed the company manipulated monthly sales data, said people familiar with the matter. The dealer sued Fiat Chrysler in January, alleging...

But you possibly can catch or move on some sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by having oral sex. Alcohol – Drinking to extra can improve mouth most cancers dangers by 4 times. The number of people reporting heterosexual oral intercourse prior to now yr remained fixed because the earlier survey (1999-2001), at simply over three-quarters of women and men aged 16-44 (seventy seven% and 75% respectively).
These questions had been asked within the self-completion part of the survey (CASI) of contributors who reported any sexual experience (and those that declined to reply the question about sexual experience). One of the girls we spoke to was Naomi, who, like many prostitutes, has a history of childhood sexual abuse.
Variables relating to different sexual practices have been derived from solutions to questions asking about the most recent experience of specific sexual acts with an reverse-sex partner, that Kinky Women that Suck your Cock in Wiltshire is, vaginal intercourse, giving oral sex to a associate, receiving oral intercourse from a accomplice, anal intercourse, and genital contact not resulting in intercourse (vaginal, oral, or anal).
Lewis and Marston's conversations with the teenagers revealed that vulvas and vaginas were deemed gross and unappealing by nearly all of surveyed teenagers, no matter their gender, and that taking place on a lady is considered a "larger deal" than taking place on a man. In some areas of sexual behaviour, we've seen a narrowing of the gender hole, but in others we have now seen ladies overtaking men within the diversity of their behaviour.

After years in consulting and project management, though, I now view politics and culture as factors to be anticipated and managed rather than ignored. This is true whether one is planning an individual project or an enterprise wide portfolio management strategy.
It is also impossible for the project manager to ignore how data management and data governance are handled in the organization as a whole.

Once in a while I come across an amazing Priti NYC deal on Ideeli that I can't resist. So, I stocked up on some nice polishes from the Turkish Sorbet Spring 2012 Collection.
Horned Poppy is a light yellow crème with a very subtle golden shimmer.
Usually I try to avoid very light crèmes and try to go for the jelly base, but the formula of Horned Poppy is very good. It doesn't leave ugly edges near cuticles and applies smoothly.

1) Uric Acid Crystals can take a long time (months or years) to accumulate, most commonly in connective tissues in and around joints, especially in the lower limbs. During this period there may well be no symptoms whatsoever. About 95% of people with hyperuricaemia (high uric acid in the blood supply) will not have a gout attack throughout their entire lives. However, they may experience pain and discomfort from crystallized uric acid in their joints. Pain in the heel, "Achilles Tendon", is very common. Sometimes uric acid problems are even misdiagnosed as Rheumatoid Arthritis. The uric acid crystals will cut into the synovial fluid sacks that cushion all joints releasing the synovial fluid into the blood. This can cause blood readings to indicate Rheumatoid Arthritis when in fact the problem is really uric acid crystals.
2) Acute attacks are where a single joint is almost always involved in all initial episodes, and most often in the joint of the big toe. Typically local irritation and aching proceeds to tissues becoming swollen, red, hot, shiny and extremely painful. The pain is often described as the worst ever experienced.
3) There are periods between attacks. Some never have a second attack, or perhaps after many years, but in most the second attack occurs within a year. The frequency, severity, and number of joints involved tend to increase over time, eventually leading into joint damage and chronic pain after an average of about 10 years.
4) Chronic tophaceous gout large crystal deposits, or tophi, produce irregular firm nodules predominantly around the upper surfaces of the fingers and hands. They can form in other places as well, including forearms, Achilles tendons, and/or the ears. When untreated, these can lead to severe deformity.
How GC Works / Uric acid problems do not manifest themselves overnight, but instead are the result of years of more uric acid being produced than you expel on a daily basis. Each day your system has produced a little more than it secreted is actually leading up to your first attack. If we do not bring the system back down to a manageable level then new attacks can become more frequent.
The uric acid that is floating in your blood supply has little to nothing to do with the uric acid that has become crystallized and is now residing in connective tissue. This uric acid cannot be measured. These crystals are always there in a solid form "melting" when the levels in the blood allow and adding to the build up when levels in the blood become too high for the blood to carry. These deposits are what migrate into the joint causing the acute gout attack. When the tissue is full and your indulgence in foods produce more uric acid than your blood can hold, the uric acid starts to crystallize between bone joints.
If you look at your uric acid metabolic process as a 16 ounce glass, then lets assume that when you are young your glass has 6 ounces. After years of eating foods that are high in purines and acidic your glass fills to 14 ounces. Lets say that 16 ounces is the level that results in a gout attack. An average meal in purines may bring you up to 15.5 but luckily your system within 4 to 6 hours can brings it back down to 14.1. This is repeated several times until one day you top the 16 ounces and you are now in a gout attack.
With a strict diet, water and GC we can successfully bring that glass back down to 8 ounces, it will never be back at 6 again, but at 8 we can now manage the uric acid levels and avoid future gout attacks. This is main reason for the initial strict diet. Another is because GC will be "melting" your stored up uric acid at such high rates that any additional uric acid added to the blood supply will cause the blood to become hyper saturated. Your body is not going to be able to expel these excessive amounts quickly enough and can result in new deposits into other joints or cause the current attack to worsen. This "melting" of old stored uric acid is also the reason behind consuming non chlorinated water in large amounts which is needed to flush the newly dissolved uric acid out of your blood supply and past your kidneys.
If you do not remain strict on the diet during this vital healing time for any reason while trying to stop a gout attack then DO NOT take a GC capsule with that meal, skip that pill. This will take you longer to get over the attack, but will not result in the hyper state causing the attack to get worse or creating new smaller attacks in other joints. Uric acidHumans excrete a nitrogenous waste, uric acid. It is the product of nucleic acid, not a protein,of the metabolism.
Uric acid is the end metabolism product of purine, purine being the nitrogen-containing compound that occurs in nucleic acid. Confusion arises between the purine and protein, but they're a totally different chemical structure however most foods that contain protein also have purines.
Uric acid is only slightly soluble in water and may precipitate out of solution contributing to the formation of kidney stones. Uric acid may also form needle like crystals in one or more joints producing the excruciating pain of a acute gout attack.
Curiously, our kidneys reclaim most of the uric acid filtered at the glomeruli. Why, if it can cause problems? Uric acid is a potent antioxidant and thus can protect cells from DNA damage. In our blood, for example, uric acid serves as an antioxidant and helps prevent damage to our blood vessel linings, so a continual supply of uric acid is important for protecting our blood vessels.
People who suffer with gout usually either overproduce uric acid or under excrete it. In severe cases a person may fall into both categories, causing severe gout attacks over and over again. A test for uric acid in the blood will not show the amount of uric acid that is crystallized in connective tissue waiting to cause the next Acute Attack.
Our herbal blend, GC, helps the body regulate this process and helps maintain a normal level of uric acid in the blood. The herbs combine with the uric acid to help it remain soluble. With just a small change in diet, a person will be able to eat a complete variety of foods and remain gout free.
I ordered goutcare and have taken it for the last 2 months. I haven't had one attack and not only that I have noticed areas where I had 'aches' and stiffness start to loosen up and become more flexible. I am and avid jogger/runner and last summer literally could only run once every 3 days because my right ankle needed that much time to recover. When I did run, sometimes I would get a sharp pain in the joint area for no apparent reason that I knew of.
Now, I am starting to run every day again and am feeling increased mobility and no pain or stiffness at all. I feel like I have new ankles!
Thanks for working with me and providing a great product! I no longer will be worrying about painful gout attacks!

Chinese Construction Law
Chinese Construction Law
Chinese construction law is a very complex field. In this article we hope to provide a simple overview which we hope our clients may find useful.
Although China began to open up to overseas trade and investment in 1978, the construction industry was still closed to foreign investment. As the need to increase construction activity developed in the early 1990s, the government recognised the urgent need to invite private participation in the industry. On 1 March 1998, the Construction Law came into effect – this piece of legislation transformed the construction industry (CLICK HERE for the official English Version of the law published by the Chinese government; they frequently move documents around, so the link could break in which case try searching and you should be able to find it easily enough). Prior to the enactment of the Construction Law, the State Council, Ministry of Commerce, and many local and regional governments had enacted a substantial body of regulations covering a wide range of matters involving the construction industry. The Construction Law codified the basic principles of these pre-existing construction regulations and also introduced a number of new principles, such as allowing private consortiums to bid for construction projects. The Construction Law is the most important law for China's construction industry, and has been revised several times since China joined the World Trade Organisation in 2001. It provides for a comprehensive legal system and outlines the qualifications for contractors, construction project building permits, construction contracts, tender process, construction project supervision, construction work safety management, construction project quality control, and legal liability.
The challenge for foreign construction companies is how to access the booming Chinese construction market. Although China's economy has become increasingly open, the construction industry remains relatively protected, with most construction activity carried out by state-owned enterprises. As many as 9,000 state-owned enterprises are involved in Chinese construction, yet only 400 foreign-invested firms are registered in China. The entry of foreign construction companies into the Chinese market is heavily regulated. To carry out construction work in China, they must establish a local presence by setting up either a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (WFOE) or a joint venture. After incorporation, this Chinese legal entity must obtain a construction-grade qualification.
There are three categories of construction qualifications:
- General Contractor Qualification;
- Specialty Contractor Qualification;
- Labour Subcontractor Qualification.
The qualification grade determines the maximum size and scale of project that the foreign contractor may undertake. Qualification requirements include having a certain amount of registered capital, a minimum number of technical and managerial personnel, possessing the necessary prior experience as well as having a good overseas track record.
A number of Chinese government departments are involved in supervising the construction industry in China. The major ones are listed below:
The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the People's Republic of China (http://www.mohurd.gov.cn) is responsible for licences, surveys, design, tenders and bidding. It is also responsible for the supervision of qualifications for construction enterprises in China.
The Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China (http://www.moc.gov.cn) is responsible for the construction of ports, highways, waterways, airports, railways, water conservation projects and hydropower facility projects.
The National Development and Reform Commission (http://www.ndrc.gov.cn) is responsible for general macro-economic planning issues associated with the construction industry.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection of the People's Republic of China (http://www.zhb.gov.cn) is responsible for implementing environmental policies and enforcing environmental laws and regulations that relate to the construction industry.
The State Administration of Work Safety (http://www.chinasafety.gov.cn) is responsible for the regulation of risks to occupational health and safety in construction projects in China.

After enjoying a delicious feast of the famed Sarawak Laksa, and stopping for torches in Kuching's city center, we all jumped enthusiastically into our car which was now pointing its nose in the direction of the Matang Wildlife Center, based in Sarawak's pristine Kubah National Park.
Along the road to Matang we were exposed to the raw beauty of Sarawak and Kuching in particular.
We heard fascinating stories and all about the city's "White Sultan," Sir James Brooke, an Englishman who was said to have named Kuching after the wild cats in the area (Kuching means cat in Malaysian).
Around 35km after leaving Kuching we arrived at Matang Wildlife Center. Which is exactly that, a wonderful wildlife facility that looks after the regions spectacular animals and provides valuable human assistance to the protected animals and unprotected animals nearby.
Though the team at Matang have other responsibilities, the main program at Matang is of course Orangutan care and rehabilitation.
They use a variety of techniques to raise up abandoned and orphaned Orangutans with the ultimate goal of successfully reintroducing these guys back into their natural habitat.
As you can imagine we were extremely excited to get the opportunity to see these adorable creatures once more.
The other, equally impressive, species at Matang include Sun Bears, Sambar Deer, Civet cats, Sea Eagles, Horn-bills (of all varieties), the Bornean Gibbon, Crocodiles and more.
Unfortunately by the time we checked in the day was lost to travelling (which turned out to be a blessing in disguise) so we enjoyed some free time and headed down to the river which we heard had a few rock pools.
We were so hot and sticky that the disappointment of not seeing the Orangutan's vanished at the opportunity to spend some time in the cool river.

Den katolska krisen - påvens ledarstil ifrågasatt
Fick en artikel som visar fler aspekter av den nuvarande krisen inom katolska kyrkan. Mest intressant är kanske biskoparnas alltmer uttalade önskan om större samarbete och kollegialitet med påven. Något den dåvarande kardinal Ratzinger själv ska ha varit för innan han blev vald till påve, men nu tycks ha glömt.
Påstridiga biskopars agerande har dock lett till att Vatikanen har fått lov att ändra/ta tillbaka ett par beslut nyligen. Utnämningen av den ultrakonservative österrikiske biskopen t.ex., och exkommuniceringen av den brasilianska 9-åringens mamma.
Intressant är också uppgiften att Vatikanen visste om biskop Williamsons uttalande 48 timmar innan exkommuniceringen av SSPX-biskoparna hävdes.
Enkäten där frågan löd: "Var det rätt av påven att häva exkommuniceringen av SSPX-biskoparna?" och där 124 bloggläsare röstade, är förresten avslutad.
Resultatet blev:
"Nej, verkligen inte!" 48 (38%)
"Ja, absolut!" 52 (41%)
"Vet inte" 24 (19%)
Knapp seger för ja-sidan alltså, i en mycket jämn omröstning.
Själv fyllde jag på "vet inte"-spalten med en röst, ifall ni undrar...
"In spite of a letter to bishops around the world that immediately provoked professions of solidarity, Pope Benedict XVI, it seems to me, is like a solitary monarch in a curia that has lost its bearings.
The storm caused by the remission of the excommunications against four Lefebvrist bishops may appear to have died down but the crisis that exploded following the chain of errors which Pope Benedict sought to explain has not. It has become a pontificate of two halves: before the break and after. The period after has brought to light questions concerning the leadership of Joseph Ratzinger, revealing at the same time a tension between the Church's central government and important bishops from the Northern Hemisphere.
Reading between the lines of the bishops' messages of solidarity to the Pope, there are requests that he change his style of government. The German hierarchy professes itself delighted that the Pope wants to enter "into dialogue with the bishops" (signalling that thus far this has not happened). The French bishops underline the necessity for the Vatican to become accustomed to an exchange that is "rich and substantial", hinting that the relationship between the Pope and the bishops should not consist simply of orders from on high. In Switzerland, the Bishop of Lugano, Pier Giacomo Grampa, expresses the hope that the humble and fraternal style of Benedict XVI's letter should become the style adopted in the day-to-day governance of the Church.
But it is the Austrian bishops who delivered the most strongly worded message. The Church guided by one of his most faithful disciples, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, reminds the Pope that he is not the only person who is suffering and that pain has also been endured "by many local churches and people outside the Church".
Did it make sense to revoke the excommunications of the four Lefebvrist bishops - without obtaining any statement of faithful adherence to the Second Vatican Council - on the very day that marked the fiftieth anniversary of Pope John XXIII's decision to call the council? Did it make sense to insist on pardoning the Holocaust-denying Bishop Richard Williamson in the very week dedicated to the memory of the Shoah?
Here an important detail should be remembered. The Vatican decree lifting the excommunications was published a full 48 hours after the story was first leaked to the press. Immediately afterwards Bishop Williamson's interview with Swedish television was published in which he insisted that six million Jews did not perish in the Holocaust. There were two days in which Benedict XVI and his aides had ample opportunity to block the publication of the decree and avoid the need for the warnings, explanations and requests to the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) that emanated from the secretary of state only after the catastrophe had happened. The generosity with which the Pope in his letter avoided blaming any of his collaborators - foremost among them Cardinal Castrillón Hoyos, president of the Ecclesia Dei Commission charged with negotiating with the Lefebvrists - does not negate one fact: although he was warned by the world's media of the impending crisis, the Pope did not consider it opportune to call a halt and review the decision.
The Pope's entourage has a maxim: "Do not disturb the driver." But this is not the way to guide a community of 1.2 billion faithful. Pope Benedict's letter expresses a great personal sincerity but also betrays a weakness. To speak of hostility directed against the Pope especially from within Catholic circles raises some serious questions. It suggests that either the Pope considers every criticism to be a personal attack - and this should not be the reaction of a leader who needs to understand the complexity involved in the process of government - or that there exist in the Church many people who are uneasy with the direction being taken by the Pope.
When I interviewed him in November 2004, just a few months before the conclave in which he was elected Pope, the then Cardinal Ratzinger said: "It is increasingly apparent that a worldwide Church, particularly in this present situation, cannot be governed by an absolute monarch ... in time a means will be found to create realistically a profound collaboration between the bishops and the Pope, because only in this way will we be able to respond to the challenges of this world."
Benedict XVI has done nothing to realise this principle.
Truly, beneath the surface of Roman power - as under a volcano - one can hear ominous rumblings."

So I went back to the drawing board a bit. I created another video, Daemons Vs White Scars, in which I tried harder to outline useful content, such as the players' thoughts on the game, the tactics and ides used, and the importance of keeping the objective in mind. Certainly I think it's a better battle report than the one I sent, but that's not the point.
I couldn't get the idea that Tau weren't competitive out of my head. It was pointed out that the Tau player in my video, aside from being a newbie taking on a veteran, misplayed his deployment... he was beaten pretty bad. I couldn't help but think that would happen to a Tau player regardless of the list or his experience.
So I had to test my theory. I asked Shannon to bring his Guard army in for a match, and I created what I felt was a good, all-comers 1250 Tau list (I didn't want to design a list just to play the army in question). Here's a synopsis of the 1250 list... the units had the standard Wargear selection.
HQ and Bodyguard, Plasma and Missile Pod, Gun Drone.
2 Suits, Plasma and Missile Pod, Gun Drone.
6 Warriors, Devilfish with Smart Missile System.
6 Warriors, Devilfish with Smart Missle System.
Kroot, 2 Hounds
Broadsides, 2 Gun Drones
Hammerhead w Railgun
Hammerhead w Railgun
Here's a synopsis of Shannon's Guard at 1250...
Command Squad, Plasma Guns, Chimera.
Veterans, Melta Guns, Chimera.
Veterans, Melta Guns, Chimera.
Veterans, Melta Guns, Chimera.
The Tau have been in a box for years and are in pretty bad shape - in fact, the suits aren't put together and were laying on the bases. While this is fine in a pick-up game like this, I didn't think it was great for a full blown video. Besides, I wanted this game to be a good test and didn't want the distraction of shooting clips.
I'll cut to the chase: I was very, very wrong. The Tau won the game and were far from outmatched, like I thought they would be - in fact, they more than held their own in the shooting department. Where I had problems was later in the game, trying to find resources to camp objectives properly. I've included some pictures, one each from each phase of the game, plus the deployment.
Do I think this game proves something on a large scale? No, I made that mistake with my video, painting one game with a broad brush. But I've satisfied myself that the Tau, if listed and used properly, are a viable army in this current era. While they'd have problems against certain matchups, what army doesn't? It's the nature of the beast.
It's important not to rest on assumptions, but to continue to test theories and try to approach something close to truth.
