This week's recipe is by Irish-born and Sydney-based food photographer/food stylist Katie Quinn Davies. You know her best as the one-woman show behind the blog What Katie Ate. When Katie and I began to discuss what recipes she might offer, I found out that she was Irish and that changed up the whole game! I had the greatest time in Dublin last year, and couldn't wait to see what Katie would propose. As luck would have it, among her ideas was a Guinness Chocolate Cake. I wasted no time in saying, "Yes, please!" So here you go, a beautiful chocolate cake that even the guys can get excited about! — Kristina

A beautiful post. I am a big fan of Katie's work. Always an inspiration!
i'm a huge fan of her work as well. gorgeous photos and yummy recipe! will be trying this soon. reminds me of the chocolate bourbon cake i made recently. so good!
This looks so fantastic! Will be added to my "must make this soon" list!
This is looks lovely and delicious. One question: what temperature is the oven? That bit of information seems to be missing!
Katie's photos are so gorgeous! I made this cake last year and have been waiting for cooler weather to make it again, it's so delicious.
Wow, this looks soo scrumptious. And I am floored by these gorgeous photos – great job Katie!
I love that cake rack!
I am literally drooling after looking at all the pics on her site!! Ugh, now I need a really good lunch today!
That looks so good! I will have to try this one out.
The pictures are just stunning. I don't even know what to say, other than I am both inspired and intimidated! Thankfully, baking doesn't intimidate me. I'll be making that cake pronto for my Guinness loving husband.
I have that same Swans Down Cake Pan! I inherited it from my uncle, who was a Chicago-based pastry chef. :)
I saw Guinness-flavored gelato at a local gourmet market yesterday, along with the same flavor sprinkled with pretzel pieces.
i have been following kate's work for about 2 years now and she has such distinct and beautiful style. love her work and this was another mouthwatering post.
also … did Katie or Kristina photograph this?
Lovely, but I can't help but notice that this is almost exactly the same recipe as Nigella Lawson's Guinness Chocolate Cake from her book Feast, which came out in 2004. Right down to the frosting/styling…
Mmmmm. I did Guineness cupcakes from Smitten Kitchen last month for my husband's birthday, that was paird with a Baily's Buttercream Icing, which is a fun way to booze it up even more. My cupcakes were not nearly so pretty as this though, I envy that pan!
I've seen similar recipes before and always wanted to try. Thanks for sharing!
cute cute pics. Oh food, great to eat,read and watch !
this looks decadently delicious! definitely going to make it for my fiance – he LOVES guinness and chocolate : )
This may be the most beautiful cake I've ever seen. I've had Guinness in gingerbread, but never chocolate…will have to try it!
I am saving this recipe. Someday I will make this. It sounds so delicious! I've always thought that Guinness would taste good with some cocoa in it, but I never tried it. Now I'm going to have to!
Very nice but I have this recipe since 2004 from Nigella Lawson' s Feast book! It's my favourite in her chapter called Chocolate Cake Hall of Fame.
Is this a lucky coincidence or did she forget to mention the obvious? It even looks the same!! Very pretty pictures though and yes I strongly suggest this cake.
Hi Ingrid! Katie photographed this. I can only dream of being as good as Katie!
Making this now!!! Can not wait to try it, especially since cream cheese frosting is a always yummy!!!
woww! i´ll try it next week for my father in law´s b-day!….:)
hi guys
there are many guinness cake recipes on the web, including nigella's delicious recipe. this recipe varies slightly from nigella's (primarily in terms of the proportions of ingredients to each other), but in general the guinness cakes that i've seen online before have the same basic ingredients. some throw in details like orange flavoring or mint, but the basic ingredients are the same from recipe to recipe. if you're looking for any other variations on the cake, other favorites of mine are:
of course, i'm going to double check with katie about the recipe, but if there was an conscious overlap with nigella's recipe we definitely would have credited it. :)
This is a beautifully styled and photographed cake…thanks so much Katie!
This looks incredibly decadent. I think the photos are my favorite though. So fantastically retro!
If I only have natural cocoa powder, can I substitute it for the dutch process? What other changes need to be made?
Hi Stephanie!
I do not know the answer to your question, so I found these links for you. JoyOfBaking is generally quite good.
I will ask around some more and report back soon.
Love Katie's site. This is so gorgeous and perfect for my boyfriend's birthday later this month. Thanks to Katie & D*S for sharing. Happy weekend, y'all!
xo, A
LOVE this recipe, think I'll make it for a dinner part tomorrow night!
It looks absolutely delicious and pretty easy to make… I think I need to start baking soon…
Quinner, it looks great, well done!
Just gorgeous – love ya work Katie!
Hi – thanks all for the lovely comments re: the photos.
I have made this cake so many times and used so many different 'variations' of the recipe over the past 3 years – all of which I initially found on the web years and years ago. Most are identical and at this stage I could make this cake in my sleep, standing on my head if asked (!) When I wrote out the recipe for Kristina, it took me 2 seconds to do so as it's in my head from memory. Bérangère thanks for pointing out the similarities to the recipe in Nigella's book from back in '04. On reflection I really do think I should have provided a credit or at least a note saying 'adapted from Nigella Lawson's recipe' as in fairness when I look at her recipe now, the one I have been churning out for the past 3 years is most similar to this. I always credit chefs (as I am not one myself – I'm a food photographer) in any recipe I use on my blog so I was not meaning in any shape or form to claim the recipe as 'mine' – upmost apologies if it appeared that way.
Regarding the styling of the cake – if there are strong similarities to any existing on the web – aka again – Nigella's – this is a total coincidence. The style of the first photo is the same as a lot on my photography site. Anyone who is familiar with my work knows I use slatted wooden backdrops frequently in my pics along with similar tones. Also let's face it, there's only so many ways one can photograph – what in essence is a pretty bland looking cake, as in, it's very simple in its appearance. The frosting on the top I styled in an effort to get it looking as deep, frothy and whipped as possible – like the head on a glass of Guinness. It really has to be shot side-on to show the contrasting profile of the black and white 'Pint' similarities. I initially was given a beautiful tall, high cake stand from Donna Hay (thanks again Donna) for the shoot but when I placed the cake on it, the stand swamped it as this is a low, single layer cake suits a lower height stand. I used a shorter depth of field with the final cake pic to try and offer a slightly 'dreamy' feel to the cake as I guess there's I bit of an 'romaticised notion' to the whole 'Guinness/Irish' idea and again I used my usual natural textured fabrics to reflect a rustic 'Irish' tweed-like feeling to the pic.
I hope this helps to clear up any confusion. Do try the cake, it's really a fab texture and taste :)
Also – I should have added in my post – thanks to my wonderful friend Tracey who carried that ancient bottle of Guinness all the way over to Oz from her recent trip to Ireland. And to her husband's mum who lent me the bottle in the first place :)
Gorgeous images and the cake looks divine! I'm not usually a cake lover but this looks so moist.
oh katie, you go! it has been a pleasure to see katie's work become the stylistic delicious presence that it certainly is. how great to share and receive the recognition!!! (oh, and totally yummy too, but that's a given with her :)
I love Katie's blog and once again she has outdone herself again with this stunning cake! (although I can't eat it I'm visually lapping up the scrummy photos!)
Truly awesome both the pics and the site. I'm in love with this design.
I used to make as chocolate Guinness cake with a Bailey's Irish Cream frosting for my ex…
his favorite drink was a Car Bomb, so we called it Car Bomb cake!
Actual recipes — lists of ingredients; methods — cannot be copyrighted. Obviously, anything else written in a cookbook IS copyright.
I made this cake — or one very similar! — a few months ago, and the reaction was mixed. I'm thinking of trying it with Malta Goya next time. I read some fascinating stuff about cooking with Malta Goya on a website last year.
love the blog! love the post! obsessed with the beautiful food katie makes.
Made this last night! We used a Russian Imperial Stout instead of Guiness (looked like syrup when we were pouring it into the pan!), and also added a healthy dose of Irish Cream to the frosting. Absolutely delicious.
I realized halfway through that I had misplaced my cake pan, so we poured the batter into cupcake tins. It made 18 cupcakes and baked for 15-18 minutes. Absolutely delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe :D
mmmh, this sounds delicious! i would love to taste it, seems like i have to start baking…
Wow! Kaitie thank you for taking the time to write such a long, well described and honest reply! I recognize a perfectionist in you with great attention to detail! I love that! :) I'm an illustrator myself who also started as a graphic designer and I'm an avid food obsessed, nerdy amateur photographer in the kitchen. I totally understand where you are coming from with your explanation. Being a total food nerd, I sometimes take things too seriously with recipes. Especially the ones I love! My husband was laughing at me because he said I reacted like if I created the cake myself! Yeah sorry. I just got obsessed over this cake for a good 6 years after receiving Feast for Christmas. I also love (thanks to my husband again) Guinness! An acquired taste that I couldn't pretend to like when we first dates if my life depended on it. Now it's my favourite beer!
Sorry if I put you on the defensive! LOVE your photos and your site (which I bookmarked with pleasure) and certainly LOVE the cake. Thank you for sharing!
Oops! Glitch happened when I wrote. Meant to say (… when we first dated even if my life depended on it) : )
I would also like to add that I am a HUGE fan of Design*Sponge since 2005 and want to take this opportunity to congratulate Grace and her team on the amazing work that inspires so many!
mmm…yum! i am going to try this immediately! or perhaps wait a bit till after lunch. eyebrows will raise if i crack a bottle of stout before then. ;)
my family makes a great stew with guinness and or/irish whiskey depending on what's at hand. we nicknamed it red eye stew after discovering a stronger version in banff, alberta (cowboy country).
isn't it amazing how good ideas regarding good food evolve? i guess that's the draw of traditional cooking – and thanks irish cooks through the centuries who have been evolving this one for our enjoyment!
thanks katie!
Just tried the recipe. Made 1/2 the recipe and baked it in a round 6″ cake pan that once belonged to my Grandmother.
Fabulous, simply fabulous! Taste is subtle. I used a storebought cream cheese icing and it worked out well, but I iced it like I would a cake. I will do this again! It goes into my recipe book tonight!
I'm glad we were able to clear up the situation with the recipe here! Thank you for weighing in again Bérangère.
I would just like to add a note as far as the styling of the cake goes. In my experience, icing a cake only on the top (and only between the layers when there are layers) is quite common in the UK and Australia. In the United States, we tend to cover the cake completely, unless it's a glaze that we let drip down the sides. (We tend to be criticized for having overly sweet, overly adorned cakes.)
However, this is just my general personal experience when noticing cakes styled in UK/AUS food shops/photography vs those in the US!
what stunning photos! not sure about the cake though, but guiness aint my cup of tea!
Penelope, you're spot on Guinness in a stew is wonderful. I started making one 2 or 3 years ago after seeing Canadian chef Michael Smith from 'Chef at Home' on TV cooking one. I really like watching his shows, I love his calm and gentle demeanour. I will try and find the recipe and post the link up. I'm away at the mo. but back in Sydney in the morning as I'm off on a shoot, will find that link and post up when I get home :)
Us Irish will use any excuse to add alcohol to our food! Guinness stew is an excellent dish. I am nursing a slight hangover from last nights Guinness consumption:(
chocolate and guinness is a great combo and after 2 amazing trips to ireland, we have a soft spot for anything irish! huge fan of katie's blog and her beautiful work!
this looks amazing. my husband's birthday is next week so i will have to try this out on him (and maybe something else for the kids;) thanks for sharing!
The photos are delicious and I'll wager the cake is even tastier!
Sigh… Katie – your pictures just make me want to run to the nearest pub and buy myself a bottle of this guinness so I can make this cake.
On my list of To Dos to bake.
Simply awesome.
I just made these tonight…as cupcakes and they turned out perfect! (Baked 14 minutes at same temp. Made 24 standard size.) This is hands-down the best chocolate cake ever. Moist, dark, chocolatey, great texture. The Guiness is a slightly mysterious flavor lurking in the background. It's stunning! The frosting is superb as well. It's like lightly sweetened over-whipped cream…but it holds up. Would be great with all sorts of fruit desserts. This is definitely going to be one of my go-to recipes. Thank you so much for sharing!
the cake looks just lovely and the pics are awesome!
WOW! These photos are gorgeous! Love the contrast! I'll be making this recipe for my hubby for his birthday! Thanks!
My boyfriend's birthday was this past Sunday, as soon as I saw this recipe I knew I had to make if for him. It was absolutely amazing! I'm not much of a baker, but I found it simple enough for a "from scratch" dessert. MAKE IT! It will blow your mind!
Made it yesterday for husband's birthday. Extraordinary. Frosting is perfect for this cake. I used natural cocoa powder, adjusting by adding 1/8 tsp. for every three Tbsp. of cocoa powder.
er…that's 1/8 tsp. of BAKING SODA.
@KimRose hey thanks for letting us know the adjustment for the baking soda if you're not using Dutch process cocoa!
I'm obsessed with that cake pan! And that cake! Surely, this cake would pair well with Suzanne Goin's guiness ice cream. Beautiful styling and photos.
Stephanie – yes you can use just normal cocoa powder, I have done in the past with this cake and it's fine. I listed 'Dutch process' as I do tend to use this most often when cooking but it's not mandatory.
Penelope – I found the recipe I mentioned above, it's: http://www.lifestylefood.com.au/recipes/2118/beer-beef-stew
He used Guinness in this on his show when I saw it years ago and I did too, it was a really good recipe.
Fantastic to hear all the success stories from everyone who has made the cake :)
Thanks Kristina too for mentioning the way 'most' (but not all) Aussie and UK cakes are frosted – aka a lot are just frosted on top and not necessarily all the way down the sides too. Donna Hay is a big fan of this way of styling a cake. Here's a link (if it's OK to post this on D*S) to a video of Donna showing this year's Masterchef Australia's contestants some general styling tips, including icing the cake which was featured on her 50th edition magazine cover: http://bit.ly/aKBeDm
so excited to try this recipe, i had a really yummy guiness bread when i stayed at a hotel in Belfast so i expect this will be even yummier. can't wait! :)
Katie's photos are so deliciously decedent sometimes I feel like I'm feasting on them and don't actually need to make the recipe! Felt like I needed a shot of Armagnac and an espresso after looking at that Guinness cake recipe! YUM
This looks amazing and soooo decadent. Dying to try it out… Fantastic photos Katie you're a genius! ;o) x
@Katie LOVED the link! Thanks!!!
I have just tried the recipe and it is absolutely delicious!!! I thought it was very unique and the beer taste is not that dominent. Katie, great photos as always!
When are we supposed to add the vanilla? I threw it in at the end as a precaution, but it wasn't listed anywhere else in the recipe instructions.
Kat – whoops thanks for noticing that, I usually stick the vanilla in as I'm mixing up everything, just after I've added the eggs and sour cream.
I made the cake on Monday night and it is excellent. I strongly recommend it. I will definitely make this again!
Kat, about the vanilla — I didn't add any to the cake because I forgot vanilla was in the ingredient list. However, I added a tiny bit to the whipped cream for the frosting, because I usually make whipped cream with vanilla anyway. The frosting was excellent.
I think you could probably add vanilla to the cake batter if you want (probably that was the intent), when stirring all the ingredients together. I may try it next time, but, truthfully, it wasn't needed. The cake was very good and rich.
This was a beautiful and different treat. The texture for me was more like a dense torte and loved by everyone. I loved the cream cheese/whipped cream frosting!
I love food, especially deserts!! the cake looks fantastic, the photos capture it perfectly and make me want to bake it right now, great shots!
Regarding the recipe being stolen from Nigella:
Welcome to The World of Food Blogging, kids! Didn't you know that every food blogger out there steals recipes, changes one or two ingredients (or measurements, for that matter), and calls said recipe their own?
Get realz, people. Food bloggers aren't any more adept at cooking or baking than anyone else, and they certainly aren't doing anything original.
They just have better cameras.
I just drooled on my keyboard…
This cake looks amazing ;) especially colors contrast :)
But i want to ask, maybe somebody has tried it ? and if yes, how is it? :)
Just love Katies work. It's ever so inspiring. WOW!!
LOVED this cake! I made it with gluten-free flour and subbed Green's Double Dark gluten-free beer for Guinness and it was a huge success.
Ever since I saw these photos I've been dying to make this cake. The photos are amazing. I finally made it last night and took it to a local LA restaurant to celebrate my big brother's 40th. I'm not a regular baker and apparently a poor time manager because I didn't allow myself enough time to let it cool properly before frosting. I was already very late for the dinner so I slapped on the frosting anyway and crossed my fingers. When we got to the restaurant and took off the lid on the cake, the frosting had all dripped beautifully down the sides and looked exactly like a pint of Guinness that had been over-poured. It wasn't quite like Katie's gorgeous cake (actually, nothing like it) but it tasted amazing and was a huge hit. Thanks for the idea!
I tried this recipe today and it turned out well for me (I'm just someone who likes to try recipes for fun.) I used Ghirardelli unsweetened cocao. I actually forgot to put in the Vanilla extract and it still turned out great. I couldn't get my cream cheese frosting to be as fluffy as the pics but I believe that's just because I didn't have any whisk attachments for my handheld blender. Still, it was fun to bake and my roommate and I have enjoyed a couple slices.
This cake is amazing. I made if for a reception and it got rave reviews. I have two comments/questions:
When should you add the vanilla? I almost forgot both times I made it.
And I'm confused about the frosting. Your pictures show it like it's stiff, and all the cream cheese frosting I've made in the past is stiff. But the recipe does not call for NEARLY enough sugar to either taste great or be stiff. So I used LOTS more sugar (like I usually do), but when I added the whipped cream it, it got runny again. It tasted wonderful, but dripped all over the sides. Do you have any tips on the proportions of the frosting? Should I maybe refrigerate it before spreading?
Hi Amy – yes, I refrigerated the icing for a few hours before icing the cake. I've made this cake so many times now I found this helps the frosting to become easier to style on the cake. The cake mixture itself is very sweet – there's a load of sugar in it and whilst yes, adding more powdered sugar will made the frosting thicker – I personally am hesitant to do so as overall then the cake would be too sweet for my liking. When I fold in the cream at the end, I do this stage very gently, I find the whipped cream adds more volume to the frosting.
Ooops! Sorry Amy – the vanilla goes in when you add the eggs and sour cream to the mixture. Kristina – maybe you could mention this in the recipe to avoid confusion. I totally forgot to type it out when I wrote down the recipe. Tks :)
I didn't have any trouble with the frosting being runny, and I made it according to directions — however, I think I might have refrigerated it briefly. Maybe half an hour at most while waiting for the cake to cool more. But it seemed stiff enough before then. It tasted perfect, as well, and did *not* need more sugar. Wonderful stuff.
To give you an idea how it turned out, here's a photo of my cake: http://www.flickr.com/photos/litlnemo/5053317327/in/photostream/
That cake is simply to die for. The fotos and styling are divine. The shot of the part-eaten cake with a dash of Guinness beside the plate has such a "wish you were here" look about it. Here's to the Aussies and the Irish. Long may they continue to have craic and cake!
made this cake for my daughter-in law's birthday. so moist and delicious. we all like just the top iced. can't wait to make it again Thanks for sharing.
Seriously, the photography is so delicious! I can almost taste them!
Could someone perhaps list the correct amount of Cocoa and bakind soda for the recipe if you are not using Dutch process cocoa? (I didn't know the difference before and just used Ghirardeli…still turned out alright. But I'm not sure if I should be adding extra baking soda plus what's already called for in the recipe?) Thanks!
Also, my frosting was not as firm either. But I believe this was because I didn't refrigerate it, and used too much whipping cream (could not find 'whipped cream' in the store). Still, everything tasted great! Ha ha.
Katie I have to say your site and photography are beautiful. I will strive for this. This is one of my favorite cakes, you know the ones with beer. I look forward to reading all that you have to offer.
"…used too much whipping cream (could not find 'whipped cream' in the store)."
Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but it sounds as if you possibly didn't whip the cream before adding it to the frosting. That would indeed affect the texture. I bought whipping cream, then whipped it to a nice texture (but not all the way to butter!) :) and folded that into the mixture. It worked beautifully.
I've now made the cake and frosting twice and the frosting has not been too runny, nor did I have to change the amount of sugar or anything like that. The second time I made it I did not refrigerate it before frosting the cake, but it still was firm enough.
Hands down the BEST cake I have ever had. Mad delicioso!!
I made this cake for an avid baker and partier in one of my Saturday classes for her birthday. It was a hit. I noticed the comments about the whipping cream and have to say that it takes longer than one would think to get it to the right texture, but once it gets there, it happens quick before it turns to butter. This cake was delicious.
Lovely photos but this is Nigella's recipe…you could at least credit her??
please read the comments above yours for a response to nigella comment.
@litlnemo: You are correct. :) I don't have wisk attachments for my mixer (it's just a cheap hand held one I've had for many years). So my frosting wasn't quite right, but tasted fine. I'm wondering what would happen if I just mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar…
I am a cooker, not a baker, but this cake looked so tasty, I actually decided to bake for the first time in 2 years.
It was delicious!
My daughter made this cake for a St Patrick's day party and everyone thought it was fantastic! I was lucky enough to get a piece to take home…she will be making it again!
This cake is amazing.This is a beautifully styled and photographed cake…
This looks amazing! I want to make it right now. Any substitute for the sour cream?
I absolutely love chocolate guinness cake! The beer really lifts the chocolate flavour without tasting like beer (!) making it velvety, smooth and delicious. I always top mine with a cream cheese frosting – so it looks a little like a pint of guinness!
I made this cake for my husband for his birthday this past December. So easy to make, and it looked gorgeous on my white cake stand. He is a home brewer—a cake made with beer is perfect for him. The guinness taste does increase over time, sort of like when you add rum to a fruit cake, so I think this is best consumed within a day or two of baking.
I tried this recipe over the weekend and it was a big hit! So delicious and rich, with such wonderful flavors. It was such a highlight to my fourth of July weekend to bake it for family and friends, it will definitely make many more appearances on our menus!
with so many delicious food sites and blogs and books, seeing similarities is hardly surprising. Not to mention that recipes are not copyrightable, one of the few things that are not, at least in the US: http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl122.html
Just made the cake. yum. didn't have any cream cheese so made a ganache and tipped it on the warm cake. mmmmmmmmmm, delicious! Thanks for sharing
I have made this cake about three times since reading this recipe. It's a great, moist cake and everyone seems to love it! I swapped out the icing for my mother's recipe as she really makes the best icing in the world. It still tastes great! I linked to this article/recipe on my blog as well – I hope that many more people get to enjoy it too!
This is a mindblowing cake! I made it for my birthday and my friends lurrved it! I loved using the unexpected combo of chocolate and guiness and the frosting is a lovely, tangy addition. Superb Katie!
I made it about a week ago. My brother was like, why can't I make something usual?! I said, you wait till you have tasted it. I was right, the whole family, my sweetheart (even the cat:D) loved it. It is just great! Thanks for sharing, Ida from Hungary.
I recently made this cake for my boyfriend's birthday! He is a huge chocolate fan.
I actually used a different stout for a more creamy flavor: the St Peter's Cream Stout. Next time, I would try it with a few of my favorite local dark beers. Real Ale Coffee Porter. (512) Pecan Porter. Southern Star Buried Hatchet Stout! Those are all delicious Texas beers (and in my opinion preferred to Guinness). The possibilities are endless!
I tried this recipe and really liked it, however my cake did not rise in the pan quite as high as this…what did I do wrong? I even used a scale to measure the ingredients exactly.
Made this cake but substituted the cream cheese frosting for a dark chocolate fleur de sel ganache. Absolutely FABULOUS! Photos and recipes here:
My first reaction–It's Nigella's recipe and looks the same as the one she published several years ago. While various responses to this observation have been made throughout the comments, it is obvious that a credit to her should have been made. At the very least, acknowledgement that the recipe is an adaptation, if not a copy.
you might want to read all the comments. your concerns have been addressed and acknowledged and explained already.
I'm in awe of this cake!!
I added this yummy cake to my my black and white roundup on my blog: http://www.lauracgeorge.com/pretty-palette-black-and-white/
Oh WoW, You have inspired me to make this lovely Tall cake. I have purchased the exact Swans Angel Food cake pan to make it in. I personally love Guinness Stout AND Chocolate. So, for the Tall cake pan am I correct that I need to add a 1/2 tsp of Baking soda to the batter? Reading the comments above, I think I am supposed to, but not sure. Thank you and I will let you know how it turns out. I have also ordered special Onyx black cocoa for this cake as well.
That makes me hungry. Makes me want to get cooking. I'm definitely going to try this weekend. Thank You!

Our stay at the Riad was fantastic. Abdellatif and the staff were fantastic hosts and went well above and beyond to make us feel at home - they were especially good with all the young children.

The location is in a quiet and safe part of the Medina a 15min walk from the main square.
We ate at the Riad almost every night and the home cooked meals were great - the whole group enjoyed every meal! Abdellatif also organised several very good excursions for us and got a baby sitter at very short notice one evening. Overall it was a wonderful stay for all of us!

Special Topics in Calamity Physics
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
If you enjoyed The Secret History, by Donna Tartt, you'll love Pessl's novel. When Blue van Meer and her curious group of friends become very entangled with one of their teachers, their lives are never the same.
Abandon ship! Abandon ship! Sorry, I couldn't take it anymore, the narrator droning on and on in that preternaturally precocious tone of hers. Over-wrought writing. Pessl's narrator makes constant writing-clogging literary and cultural references. It's just the epitome of literary writing gone bad. It strains, it over-preens.
I agree with one reviewer who said: "The laborious process of reading this book felt like 514 pages of a precocious child shrieking, 'Aren't I clever?' into my face, only they were pronouncing clever incorrectly because they were not, in fact, very bright, and also projecting spittle into my face every single time." Except, kudos to that reviewer for finishing. I made it only half way. There are some riveting sections here and there, and the premise is great. So many other readers found this novel brilliant and were enamored with the writing style. BUT...I just couldn't move past the main character without entertaining homicidal thoughts. Yeah, it was that bad for me.
For a good, brainy mystery steeped in academia and the antics of blue bloods-behaving-badly, stick with Donna Tartt's The Secret History.
Maria Pessl is a wonder at what she does--this book is very funny and very smart. I will admit that there were times I was not sure I could go on reading--Special Topics in Calamity Physics is long, discursive, exploding with outside references, and in a style that can be, at times, off-putting. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed the romping and ridiculous plot. In fact the ending is such an intriguing twist that I might just read the whole thing again to find all of the little Easter eggs hidden along the way.
I found this book to be too 'precious'. Sometimes it made me laugh out loud, which I don't do often with books. Pessl also has some great metaphors, and it's obvious the woman is very, very smart. But the plot is, in a word, ludicrous. It's supposed to be sort of suspenseful but I found myself not caring about any of it.
I have read this book twice and plan to read it again and again. The metaphors, references to other texts, images are so beautiful and meaningful and surprising. The story is strange, with unexpected turns, but so fun.
heard about author in EX - other book Night Film
This author has the potential to write a really funny and compelling story. However, the style she adopted, with constant annotations, reads like a stutter. It is rare to read a passage without a reference to another text and while this may work well for an English essay, it is tedious and disruptive in the novel. I am hoping her writing becomes more trim and that her wit can come through rather than her obvious compulsion to appear clever.
Great fun! The kind of book you want to start over after you finish it so you can pick up all the nuance you missed. I recommend reading it. Twice.
It does take a little bit to get into this book, but then I was totally hooked. It's about a young woman who is in the process of discovering that her life is not as she has thought it to be. It unfolds slowly and you go right along with her. I found it quite compelling, although it is over-the-top in places.
Could not get through this. Too fluffy and gimmicky.

Based on scientific knowledge as of 2014, it is not possible for humans to live on Uranus. As a gas giant, Uranus lacks a solid surface for landing spacecraft or building long-term habitation facilities.Know More
In addition to the planet's lack of a solid surface, Uranus' cold average temperature of minus 357 degrees Fahrenheit is far below the temperatures to which humans on Earth are adapted. Severe weather on Uranus can cause wind speeds to exceed 500 mph, which is also inhospitable to human life. Its atmosphere is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, and it lacks the carbon and oxygen scientists view as essential to human life.Learn more in Planets
Uranus is the smallest of the gas planets, but its diameter of 51,118 kilometers is still four times longer than the Earth's, according to Universe Today. The volume of Uranus is massive, as it could hold 63 Earths inside its perimeter.Full Answer >
Uranus does not have any landforms because it has no solid surface. This planet is a gas giant, composed largely of various gases and icy materials.Full Answer >
The highest known temperature on Uranus is 577 degrees Celsius (1,070 Fahrenheit). This temperature occurs in the hottest region of Uranus' atmosphere, the outer layer.Full Answer >
Special features of Uranus include its 27 moons, faint rings and construction, which is mostly ice. Uranus consists of water, methane and ammonia above a small, rocky inner core. Methane gas gives Uranus its blue tint. Uranus, along with Venus, rotates in the direction opposite to that of most other planets.Full Answer >

The federal workforce should not get automatic pay increases when the American people as a whole are not, argues Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.)
Hours before the highly publicized vote on the fiscal cliff, the House passed another measure on Jan. 1 that would have kept federal employees' pay frozen. Lawmakers backed the Congressional Pay Freeze and Fiscal Responsibility Act (H.R. 6726), which would prohibit a 2013 pay adjustment for federal employees and members of Congress, as called for by President Obama in a Dec. 27 executive order. The measure passed 287 to 129.
The increases are safe for now, at least, as the Senate adjourned on Jan. 2 without taking up the measure. The 113th Congress convenes on Jan. 3, which means new legislation would have to be introduced to override Obama's executive order. But given the continued efforts by several legislators to keep federal pay frozen, another attempt in 2013 is hardly out of the question.
The pending pay raise could cost taxpayers $11 billion over the next decade, according to Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
In the debate over H.R. 6726 on Jan. 1, Issa stressed that it would not stop step increases, merit increases or many other routine ways federal employees can increase their pay. "But it will say that, at this time, when the American people are not getting automatic cost-of-living increases, neither should the federal workforce," he said.
However, many House Democrats opposed the measure, saying government employees have done their part in saving the government money.
"Federal workers not only have borne a disproportionate share of the cost, they've virtually borne the only share of the cost," Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said.
And for what it's worth, members of Congress have already denied themselves a cost of living adjustment for 2013. The American Taxpayer Relief Act, better known as the bill that averted the fiscal cliff and which passed Congress Jan. 1, stops any increases for the lawmakers.

Federal employees deserve a cost of living raise, at present with the returning veteran most of the employees woked 10-12 hours days without additional pay. There are many complaints about the veterans not getting the care they need, it will be worse as employees leave to seek employment at different institutions. It is hard to have the gifted and talent nurses and physicians, we have today but with no increase in pay to maintain current with the cost of gas and food, they will not remain. Think about it they are not under contract and can leave when ever they want.
This is a joke. People getting pay raises when many still have no jobs. Texas has not given across the board pay increases to state employees for six years, well before the economy tanked.
Issa and the GOP are not going to be satisfied until Federal Employment is so unattractive to talented job seekers, that the only people the government will be able to hire will be the people that McDonalds and WalMart rejected.
Seems interesting that politicians are quite at their ready to "give" our tax money to things like cash for clunkers, bailout GM, and stuff like that. But they won't give raises to federal workers, who would in turn spend that money to help ignite the ecconomy. Instead, they have the federal workers shouldering the burden of horrible budget management by this current regime we call a presidency. An ironic concept.

Are Knicks considering Phil Jackson-Lamar Odom reunion?
APR 12, 2014 3:11p ET
Maybe new Knicks president Phil Jackson is trying to pull a Jimmy Kimmel and punk all of us. But then again, maybe not.
ESPN's Marc Stein, citing sources, reported Friday that the New York Knicks have expressed interest in signing Lamar Odom for the rest of the season.
Odom, who will be 35 next season, last played in the NBA with the Los Angeles Clippers before heading to Spain this season to play basketball after he wasn't picked up by a team. Odom recently returned to the United States to rehab an injury.
While Odom has a history with Jackson from their time together with the Los Angeles Lakers, it's not clear what kind of value the veteran still can bring to the table — especially after Odom's much-publicized troubles (DUI arrest, drug rumors and allegations) that may have led to his divorce from reality star Khloe Kardashian in December.
Among options being considered by Knicks is signing Odom to deal w/team option for next season that would give them summer to evaluate him— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine)

The Tarrant County College District board is taking initial steps toward finding a group interested in redeveloping the 100-year-old former TXU power plant it owns on the Trinity River north of downtown.
The board voted Thursday night to explore the use, sale, or lease of the power plant. The college district staff will issue requests for qualifications from developers and others interested in the site, said Louise Appleman, board president.
"We need to determine what's most logical, cost-effective, and expedient before we take the next step," Appleman said in an interview.
The college district obtained the property from TXU as part of TCC's plan for developing its downtown campus and potentially crossing the river with it.
The requests for qualification will seek ideas and qualifications from groups interested in the site, "but not necessarily a timeline or fiscal plan," Appleman said.
A range of factors held up the board's decision on the TXU plan, including a land swap with the Tarrant Regional Water District completed earlier this year, the status of the Trinity River Vision plan, and the renovation of the downtown Heritage Park, Appleman said.
"We should have done this 10 years ago," she said.
The college district will consider "almost anything, in the box or out of the box," she said.
A tear-down of the structure "would be at the very bottom of the list," she said.
Numerous ideas have been floated to the college district over the years, from a creative arts performance space to an aquarium, she said. The plant sits on the edge of what will become an urban lake under the Trinity River Vision plan.
Whatever the use that emerges for the plant, it "would have to be compatible" with TCC's downtown holdings and activities, Appleman said.
She expects the proposals the college district gets to vary widely, based on the pro formas of each group.
"I think it will be all over the place," she said. "I think it will be fascinating to see what ideas people come up with."
She did not rule out a potential partnership under which the college district is a partner, and said the "use" and "lease" wording was designed to leave open all possibiities.
But of a partnership, she said, "you have to be really careful with something like that. We're very conscious of the fact that we're dealing with taxpayer money here."
Appleman cautioned prospective development groups that the project will be difficult and the college district will work to aggressively find a buyer that can deliver on its promise.
"We want it done right. It won't be an easy renovation," she said. "It's going to be tedious and expensive for whoever does it."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Collection a fitting tribute to jazz great
Trumpeter Woody Shaw was a towering, influential figure in jazz, if not exactly a household name like, say, contemporary Freddie Hubbard.
His career spanned three decades -- the '60s, '70s and '80s -- and much of the music he recorded was on the Muse label. Those nine albums have been released as a seven-CD limited edition set by Mosaic Records, the acknowledged longtime master collector and issuer of boxed sets by jazz greats.
Shaw, who had been diagnosed with incurable degenerative eye disease, died in 1989 from complications after an accident where he was hit by a subway car in Brooklyn, which severed his left arm.
Shaw had a love of the avant-garde and his 1970s albums -- The Moontrane (1974), Love Dance (1975), Concert Ensemble Live at the Berliner Jazzstage (1976), Little Red's Fantasy (1976) and Iron Men (1977) -- were considered a bridge between '60s hard bop, which he was well-versed in as a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, and the '70s free jazz movement.
The nine albums are grouped into three distinct periods of Shaw's 1974-1987 output: his concert ensemble from 1974-76, which is heavy on brass and percussion; the trumpeter leading a quintet; and the mid- to late-'80s when Shaw returned to more standard fare. The Mosaic set also includes a 1965 session recorded for Blue Note but not released until Muse issued it in the '80s.
That Blue Note session, Cassandranite, is a gem with Shaw backed by two great lineups: Joe Henderson (tenor saxophone), Larry Young (piano), Ron Carter (bass) and Joe Chambers (drums); and Henderson, Herbie Hancock (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and drummer Chambers.
Disc 3 captures Shaw fronting a septet of trombonist Slide Hampton, alto saxophonist Rene McLean, tenor saxophonist Frank Foster, pianist Ronnie Mathews, bassist Stafford James and drummer Louis Hayes at the 1976 Berlin Jazz Festival.
This is a great live recording -- the band is wailing and it's one of those cases where you feel like you're in the audience. Bilad As Sudan (Land Of The Blacks), the closer, really stands out.
Early in his career, Shaw performed and recorded with some of jazz's greats such as Eric Dolphy, Bud Powell, Johnny Griffin, Horace Silver, Chick Corea, Jackie McLean, McCoy Tyner and Max Roach.
The musicians on the Mosaic set make up a jazz who's who.
Shaw walked among the ranks of jazz's best, being influenced by many of them and in turn influencing a later generation, including the "Young Lions" who came on the scene in the 1980s with trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. He was often referred to as the last innovator in the jazz trumpet lineage.
The Mosaic set has good remastering and good, informative liner notes by Shaw's son, Woody Shaw III, an enthnomusicologist and curator of his father's work.
At US$119 (available only from mosiacrecords.com) this set isn't for novices. But it is a great tribute to a great trumpeter, bandleader and composer.

A Tuesday concert (July 16, 8 p.m., $10) at Centre culturel franco-manitobain is billed as a CD release for Farewell 274: Winnipeg's Music Community Celebrates Aqua Books, but it's also a chance to say goodbye to drummer Curtis Nowosad, who performed on and produced the CD, before he leaves to pursue a masters degree at the Manhattan School of Music.
If you know any Winnipeg jazz musicians, you know Nowosad and the talented, hard-working drummer deserves a good sendoff.

Winnipeg singer Amber Epp is holding a backyard party to raise funds for her new CD, to be released in November.
The fundraiser is on July 21, 2:30 p.m., with a suggested donation of $20, and you can RSVP at email@example.com.
Epp says: "This CD will feature some original compositions, well-loved jazz standards, and a couple of Joni Mitchell tunes. Yes, there will be some Latin music, but it will definitely have more of a jazz focus this time around."
The singer, known for her work with Latin group Trio Bembe, will record with bassist Steve Kirby, guitarist Larry Roy, drummer Quincy Davis and special guests trumpeter Derrick Gardner and percussionist Scott Senior.
More information on the concert and how to donate online is available at amberepp.com.

A cadre of construction companies has formed a "coalition" to oppose the newly created Ontario College of Trades, claiming it adds nothing of value and its main purpose is to benefit the unions.
These are baseless charges, and ignore the imperative to expand our skilled-trades base if we are to remain competitive.
In 2007, I was asked by the minister of training, colleges and universities to examine the state of Ontario's skilled trades, with particular reference to the adequacy of existing apprenticeship training practices and journeyperson certification requirements.
I concluded there was considerable scope for improvement, especially with the expanding complexity of the trades and their increased reliance on the ability of tradespersons to master intricate digital technologies.
Particular attention was given to methodologies for determining ratios — i.e., the number of journeypersons required to train, monitor and supervise the work of apprentices — and to compulsory certification — i.e., trades whose complexity and health and safety ramifications require mandatory certification as a condition of employment.
Hence my principal recommendation for a provincial college of trades covering all sectors — not only construction, but industrial, motive power and services, as well — which was subsequently adopted and enacted in the College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009.
Why a college? There are at least eight reasons.
To raise the public profile and status of the trades and remove any stigma or sense of inferiority held by parents, teachers, employers or students concerning trades as opposed to other post-secondary education.
To increase diversity within all trades, with particular emphasis on gender, age and ethnicity, so as to attract more women, aboriginal workers, at-risk youth and new Canadians to the trades profession, especially in the face of predicted shortages in key areas as the workforce ages.
To establish a broadly representative governance structure, headed by a board of governors representing all major players — employers, tradespersons, apprentices, trainers and the public — with appropriate interaction with the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities trades specialists and other affected ministries, working collaboratively beyond their historic silos to achieve common interests.
To ensure, through regulations and strengthened enforcement, that the key objectives and priorities of all trades are identified and met: e.g., proper scope of practice; adoption of adequate measures to protect the health and safety of workers and consumers; increased environmental protection; timely application of the varying demographics of supply and demand to attract more apprentices and encourage them to obtain full journeyperson certifications.
To share and apply the substantial research, analytical and substantially enhanced enforcement capabilities being developed by the college.
To provide an effective performance accountability system for all trades, similar to the structures in place for teachers, accountants, architects, lawyers and other professions, including provisions for consumer complaints, with appropriate remedies.
To provide for neutral and impartial adjudication of ratio and compulsory certification issues by a carefully selected roster, with panels chaired by adjudicators experienced in employment law, required by regulation to consider all relevant economic and labour market criteria.
To mobilize the strengthened enforcement capabilities of the college to assist in combating the illegal underground economy, especially in the construction industry.
These principles are all incorporated, directly or by implication, in the act and supporting regulations in accordance with the implementation report by Mr. Justice Kevin Whitaker following his intensive consultations with stakeholders.
As the board moves to formal implementation April 8, criticisms have, inevitably, arisen.
So far, the bulk of the concerns have come from minority elements in the construction sector, which comprises 33 of the approximately 154 trades covered by the legislation. Few, if any, concerns have been expressed by the industrial, motive power or service sectors.
It is recognized that legitimate apprehensions must be addressed.
To this end, the college board, the appointments council and the ministry are committed to working with the parties to reassure them that the act and regulations are applied so as to respond to all justifiable concerns.
A co-operative, nonconfrontational and fully and accurately informed approach between now and the April 8 implementation date will assist Ontario in establishing the first college of its kind, to the benefit of almost 600,000 Ontario journeypersons and apprentices, their employers, the public and the increasingly competitive economy at large.
Tim Armstrong, a lawyer and former Ontario deputy minister of labour and industry, trade and technology, is chair of the College of Trades Appointments Council.

Popovich was greeted with many hugs from her former CSU teammates
Sept. 19, 2008
By Danielle Marshall
Athletic Media Relations
Erin Popovich ('07), 23, has just won four gold medals and two silver medals in six events at the National Aquatics Center, better known as the Water Cube, in Beijing for the 2008 Paralympics. People have compared her to U.S. Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps who won a record-breaking eight medals earlier this summer in the same venue.
"That's a great honor to be compared to him. He's obviously a wonderful swimmer and it's very incredible to see what he's been able to do," she said.
Amazing athlete despite size
The Paralympics are for athletes with physical disabilities. Popovich was born with achondroplasia, severely restricting the growth of her limbs. She is just 4-foot-4 ¾ tall. This is her third time at the Paralympics. She competed previously in Athens, Greece in 2004 and in Sydney, Australia in 2000. She now has 14 gold medals in her career and two world records. Popovich is a native of Silverbow, Mont., but lives and trains in Fort Collins with CSU swim coach John Mattos and Fort Collins Area Swim Team coach Bill Spahn. She graduated from Colorado State in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in health and exercise science.
Positive 'can do' attitude
"Erin is not your typical athlete," said Mattos. "She is determined to succeed, works hard, and displays a positive 'can do' attitude. She's respected, admired, and loved by her teammates because she trains tall even though she walks small. She is an inspiration to all of us."
Popovich takes her determination into the water. In her first event, the 200 meter individual medley, she destroyed her own world record by almost a full six seconds.
Focused on what's possible
"The best thing about the Paralympic Games is that stereotypes are dispelled," says Popovich. "You see someone in a wheelchair or with a certain disability and instead of dwelling on their problems, you see they are focused on what they can achieve. I'm blown away by their abilities."
The Americans finished in third place behind China and Great Britain in the medal count with 33 gold medals and 92 total medals. China was high above the competition with 187 medals (80 gold) and Great Britain finished with 96 medals (41 gold).
Popovich's Paralympics performance
- Gold - 200m Individual Medley 2:54.62: beat her previous record of 3:00.34, new world record
- Gold - 100m Freestyle 1:11.82: beat her previous record of 1:14.62
- Gold - 100m Breaststroke 1:31.60: previous record was 1:32.52, new world record
- Gold - 400m Freestyle 5:17.41: just shy of the world record, 5:17.06, 14th career gold medal
- Silver - 50m Butterfly heat 37.87: second to Min Huang of China at 34.47, new world record
- Silver - 50m Freestyle heat 33.92: second to teammate Courtney Jordan of the U.S.A. by only 0.08 seconds
Erin Popovich speaks on campus Nov. 12
Erin Popovich will present, "Swimming for the Gold," as part of the Women at Noon discussion program on Wednesday, Nov. 12 at the Lory Student Center, Room 214-216. Join us as she talks about her experience at the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing. The event is free and open to the public.

Retro Red, Black and White Family Room
Funky fabrics, fiery red window treatments and a sparkling silver fireplace surround transform a space stuck in the '60s.
Stand-up comic Ava and rapper Dave recently bought the home of their dreams, a 1960s-style bungalow, but the old-fashioned mint-green living room was definitely not their speed. It's the first space you see when you enter the house, and the couple were desperate to bring it up to date. So I gathered my crew and got started on designing a space as creative as Ava and Dave are.
The two performers enjoy a bit of drama, so I decided to give the room some retro glitz and glam — Rat Pack with a modern edge. I kicked things off by trading in the green walls for something more neutral and swapping out the old carpeting for some new wide-plank flooring.
I chose an ultra-cool color scheme of retro black, cool white and fiery red, with a large dose of sparkly silver. I selected a fantastic black and red koi-inspired fabric as the jumping-off point and used it on a few chairs and pillows. I then put hot-red silk drapes on the windows, cool black patent leather on a club chair, warm red upholstery on a large sofa, and a black and white caviar-inspired fabric on a comfy chaise longue.
Next I tackled the focal point of the room: the huge fireplace. I gave the existing unit a complete face-lift by covering the old brick hearth and mantel with glittering ebony quartz. For extra bling, I covered the surround with silver-dollar-size stainless-steel tiles that add a real Vegas vibe. I then painted the wall adjacent to the fireplace in horizontal silver and pearl stripes for some added sheen.
Above the fireplace, I built out the wall for a new flat-screen television and installed speakers in the ceiling where they'll barely be noticed.
For extra drama, I installed some over-the-top lighting. In addition to traditional recessed lighting in the ceiling, I put up two sparkly crystal sconces over the fireplace and some lights at the sides of the fireplace that will shine horizontally onto the striped wall.
As a high-tech finishing touch, I installed a total-room lighting-control system; it comes with a wall-mounted control panel that will set the mood for any lighting scene our couple require-all with the touch of a button or wireless remote.

He's still vague about closing the budget gap.
Mitt Romney
Photo: Evan Vucci, Associated Press
Mitt Romney has been specific about all the taxes he wants to abolish and reduce. He's a lot vaguer about how he would keep this from bankrupting the Treasury.
His easy answer is he would "broaden the base" of taxable revenue. This sounds easy -- plug an oil company loophole here, shut down a hedge fund dodge there. As Sen. Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican and Romney supporter, told reporters at the Republican convention on Tuesday, "it would be paid for by getting rid of a lot of the underbrush in the code." Clear out the underbrush! Who could oppose that?
Unfortunately, there is no way to broaden the individual income tax base without going after the biggest tax deductions and preferences, which are widely used, wildly popular and defended by tenacious lobbies. They privilege employer-provided health insurance, mortgage interest, charitable deductions, and state and local income tax payments. Romney hasn't hinted which of these he might seek to limit.
Portman, one of the Republicans' leading budget experts and an advocate of bipartisan fiscal reform, was more forthcoming at a forum sponsored by the Washington Post and Bloomberg News. He suggested that one way to lower rates and yet not see revenue fall off a cliff would be to limit the total that any taxpayer could deduct, without eliminating any specific deduction. "And if you choose to give more to charities and want your charitable deduction, that's fine," Portman said. "But then maybe your second home, you can't get a mortgage deduction."
Whether such a plan would mollify opposition, because every deduction would be saved to some extent, or unify it because every one would be threatened is an interesting question. President Obama has repeatedly proposed a similar idea, for upper-income taxpayers, and Congress has repeatedly shown zero interest. And the limits might have to be very constricting -- less benign than Portman's sunny description -- if they were to make up for the revenue lost by Romney's tax-cutting proposals.
Portman stressed that he was not speaking for the campaign. "I think what he'll have when he's elected -- and I believe he'll be elected -- is he'll have a mandate to do tax reform. And then you go to Congress ..."
But how much of a mandate can it be if the candidate talks only about the goodies, and not at all about the accompanying pain? Given his position at the head of a party dominated by officeholders opposed to tax increases under any circumstances, it's not an unfair question.

The PF can choose to ignore the Catholic Church's warnings over its arrogance at it's own peril says, Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR) executive director Fr. Leonard Chiti.
Fr Chiti warned that if the PF continued to ignore the voices of the people, which was the voice of God, something terrible was going to happen to them because they are disobeying God.
He said President Sata and the PF were treading a dangerous path and if they continued with the same behavior their end was looming.
"I can firmly say this as a Pastor that if the PF continues ignoring the voices of the people which is the voice of God something terrible is going to happen to them because you are disobeying God and they must know that God is never pleased when you are oppressing your own people, when you are allowing human rights violation to continue; when you let innocent people die because you fired nurses, God will not allow this to continue," said Fr. Chiti.
Fr Chiti said it would be suicide for the PF to ignore the church's warnings that it should desist from being arrogant, adamant and obstinate to governance.
In an interview with the Daily Nation Fr. Chiti said that the observation by respected men of God on the performance by PF government must be taken seriously by those in its leadership.
"The Bishops said something which is extremely important and profound which I feel the PF leadership and government must heed, they said that this was the voice of the people and the voice of the people is the voice of God, so if the PF continues to ignore the voices of the people on many issues of governance they are ignoring the voice of God," said Fr. Chiti.
He cited the story in the Bible where Pharaoh the King of Egypt refused to release the Israelites despite many calls to let them to go.
"Let me draw you to a story in the bible of Pharaoh who refused to let go of the children of Israel, ten bad things happened to him and that is what will exactly happen to the PF and President Sata in particular if they don't heed to the voice of God."
He told PF that they could ignore civil society if they so wished to but not the voice of God, "so I will want to remind the PF that if they want they can ignore the civil society, let them ignore the MMD if they want but not the voice of the people because it is the voice of God,
"They must not ignore the voice of the church, the church has spoken in that an equivocal manner and they must do what the people want. It is not only the issue of the constitution, it is also the public order act, it is about the Barotseland issue, and it is about the meddling in traditional affairs. Who gives you (PF) the mandate to think that you know it all?"
He said that the PF must realise that Zambians were speaking against them because they had misdirected themselves.
"If there are any moral heads in the PF I would urge them to stop and listen to the cries of the people. Let them ask themselves questions such as why is it that all the people are against the way we are governing the nation?"
22 Responses to "Something terrible will happen to PF if they continue to ignore God's people- Fr. Chiti"
Do these idiots listen to anyone? Indeed something terrible will befall them and soon. Watch this space!!!
Dear Father Chiti, Sata was elected after a sacrifice of a live chicken by Fr Bwalya. You need to make a bigger offering, let us say a live bull, in order to undo what Fr Bwalya did. Please invite us for a braai when you are done.
The bible tells us in job 34.20-28 about you msg father chiti. Watch and see that the 'LORD' is good. And remember that 'GOD' says,'give thanks in all things.'
Job 33.12-26. Just know that pama funds are not @ peace. Let the redeemer, redeem zambia. Amen.
Truly the Lord will react for the oppressed
These are the same cocktail of misguided men in robes who supported the evil thinking that voting for their tribesman and member, heaven will be created on earth.You should drink your own poison dont bring God in your uncouth behaviour.
Sata can't heed even simple warnings.
Do we take Fr. Frank Bwalya's apology as coming from the Catholic Church or his personal remorse to having campaigned for the team of action?
And if we force the Catholic church to apologise, what are we going to do about Chanda Chimba III's dangerous sacrifice to alert the unteachable voters about the dangers of doing what they did?
father chiti you are one in a million. please keep up speaking for the voiceless. You not likes of shameless anglican father luonde and some catholic fathers such as father john lesa who has abondoned his flock for few pieces of silver.
take this warnig seriously you pure farts (pf)!!!
Some churches and civil society misled the people in voting for pf. We pray that it will not be the same in 2016
Men of God are the light of the nation ,and need to take time to pray for those in power that is Gods instructions from the bible , if the leadership don't follow Gods ways of leadership need to help by prayer , how ever the word of God says they are also servants of God , as God has given them mandate, to lead his people , their work is to assure peace in the community and not confusion . if they put in laws to allow homosexuality that is ant God if they allow indiscipline , humans are not always good Jesus said no one is good except God . the bible says jeremiah 17:9 mans heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked who can know it , so care is needed
I will very surprised if PF wins in 2016. HH needs to reach the masses and explain how incompetent SATA is.
No need fighting with Sata's Ministers, just hit on the soft target which is SATA's Lunacy and lack of common sence. How do you allow street vendors to take over a city and lawlessness to mashroom in a Christain nation ??
PF ask KK how he left the presidency. It seems you have already forgotten, hence you need to be reminded.
Men of God are the light of the nation ,and need to take time to pray for those in power that is Gods instructions from the bible , if the leadership don't follow Gods ways of leadership need to help by prayer , how ever the word of God says they are also servants of God , as God has given them mandate, to lead his people , their work is to assure peace in the community and not confusion
Father tell these chaps because they do not listen, they can see people's problems because they are merry making and stealing at every opportunity. Their behaviour is stinking to the heavens. Sata is very stupid because he is just concentrating in enriching his relatives at the expense of the nation.
Those PF Leaders and the general membership who have ears,let them hear what the pipo(the Voice of God) is saying.This is a timely warning in love, especially to Sata the so-called Supreme Leader of the PF
Naumfwa mwenso boys, girls naumfwa mwenso….!!
Eeh!!! eeh!!!
