text: Religious Education in Gauteng Conference on Orthodox Religious Education New Valamo, Finland 28 July 2006 – 2 August 2006 By Mikhail Christoforou Member of the Youth and Cultural Centre of the Holy Patriarchal Church of SS Cosmas and Damian Johannesburg, South Africa Fellow Orthodox Religious Educators This speech will create some awareness about religious education in the Gauteng Province in South Africa. I will provide information about our 1st Orthodox seminary - the Alexandrian Catechetical School of Petros VII - which began three years ago. I shall speak about the private school SAHETI which has served the educational needs of the Greek community of Johannesburg for thirty years. I will provide information about missions that a group from our community have been engaged with. And finally conclude with brief information about the number of parishes, and the types of informal religious education that occurs. I would like to begin my presentation with a quote from a Syndesmos online-text. The event was the 7th International Consultation of Orthodox Theological Schools and the topic Theological Education and Modernity by Archpriest Thomas Hopko: The task of Orthodox theological education is basically two fold. It is to affirm and explain the Orthodox Christian faith, and to assist believers in applying and practising this faith in their daily lives (Hopko 1994, 1). Holictic Christian Education – Conference of Orthodox Religious Education and Research, 1 Valamo Lay Academy 28th July - 2nd August 2006 , Finland. Seminary: It is with joy that I shall now inform you of how these two conditions are being met by the educators at our seminary which was established in September of 2003 with the blessings of the late Patriarch of Alexandria and all Africa Petros VII, through his Eminence our Metropolitan of Johannesburg and Pretoria Seraphim acting as dean and the pastoral care of Fr. Athanasius Akunda as deputy dean and chief administrator – who originates from Kenya and has studied in the USA. The seminary still needs work and funds in order to aspire to a world class theological school, but its presence is already like a small flame that glows in the heart of the eastern suburb of Yeoville - an area of Johannesburg which has unfortunately entered a period of rapid urban decay and neglect following the end of apartheid. In the past three years the school has enrolled twelve scholars, the most advanced being Father Nectarios Mandipaushe, who is currently furthering his studies in Orthodoxy at your very own Joensuu University. The seminary has 13 experts as lecturers including Archbishop Seraphim and Fr. Athanasius. The following courses have been established to make up the syllabus offered: 1) Church History and Missiology 2) Patrology 3) Dogmatics 4) English: grammar and literature 5) Religious Education 6) Catechism 7) Liturgical Theology 8) Teliturgics 9) Old and New testaments 10) Orthodox Spirituality 11) Agiology 12) Ecology 13) Church Music 14) Hospital Ministry While priesthood is the personal choice of each graduate, they are all expected to do missionary work, preferably returning to their own ethnic group. The seminary's teaching methodologies are geared to instilling a well rounded holistic education in its graduates that Holictic Christian Education – Conference of Orthodox Religious Education and Research, 2 Valamo Lay Academy 28th July - 2nd August 2006 , Finland. will prepare them for anything they may encounter in their missionary and pastoral endeavors. The Religious Education course forces the students to apply the academics of teaching Orthodoxy to the contemporary situation in which they live. They are taught the subtleties of communicating with potential converts. The people that each graduate will encounter in future missionary work will belong to a wide array of various cultural groups and religious backgrounds. The students are well educated in the other religions in order to be prepared for dialogue with one of these believers. They are trained in the ways of adapting to the level of thought and understanding of each person that they will engage with - and with sympathy for each person's spiritual upbringing. An example of one of the ways in which this is done is through peer to peer conversation. One will take the stance of an Orthodox Christian missionary while the other will take the stance of a practitioner of a traditional African religion, for example. The task will be for the training missionary to be challenged in a rhetorical debate by his peer to prove why his religion is the truth and his peer's isn't. Thus a simulation of a situation that a missionary will encounter on his path is created. In an exam situation where one is expected to write about the works of the Holy Spirit, they write about their own experience of divine grace in their lives and not merely to repeat was is written in Holy Scripture. Accommodation is provided for most of the students as their homes are usually too far for them to travel back and forth during semester time. Students have total freedom to leave the Seminary when ever they wish but they are warned that it will be at their own risk as crime is a common occurrence in the surrounding area. They are trained to not only do the right thing when they are being followed behind by there superiors. They learn the value of responsibility in times and places where their superiors are not present, to understand that what they do pleases God and is for there own benefit in many cases. Students also have social times to go out and visit their friends or have fun, at least three times a week including Saturdays. All of them join in cleaning, cooking and some times they are assigned to work in groups. An opportunity is given to the students during a weekly meeting to speak openly about anything that is troubling them and Fr Athanasius helps each one sort out there problems. The seminaries' chapel provides the students the opportunity to lead an active ecclesiastical life: Every day starts with an Orthros service at 7.00 (or 6.30 if there is a divine liturgy) and ends with an Orthros and a Compline after Supper. All services are done in English and local Holictic Christian Education – Conference of Orthodox Religious Education and Research, 3 Valamo Lay Academy 28th July - 2nd August 2006 , Finland. dialects represented by the students and all are entitled to chant. Each third year student is supposed to give a homily at least 4 times a semester after the Divine Liturgy. SAHETI: SAHETI (South African Hellenic Educational and Technical Institute), established in 1974, is as an English medium private school dedicated to providing a modern education, whilst inculcating the ethos and values of Hellenism. These include the right to freedom, equality, democracy and citizenship. It is a private school which includes classes from kindergarten level to high school. As part of the standard curriculum the subject Religious Studies (RS) is geared to address the pupil's spiritual needs as the greater majority of the almost 1000 students are orthodox. Non- Orthodox members of the school are encouraged to treat this subject culturally and academically which is done so in a spirit of tolerance and understanding. RS was taught since the school began, in two basic directions: a general approach to religion dictated by the Department of Education and an introduction to the Orthodox Faith taught by teachers of Greek, since they were/are by-and-large, Orthodox in faith. The subject-direction changed since 1990 with the arrival of Father Petros Parginos as resident priest. While still a layman, but a member of the teaching staff, he reformed the RS syllabus which is taught in English. The Kindergarten children learn to pray in Greek, in the well-known prayers such as: Aghios O Theos (Holy God) – Christos Anesti (Christ has risen) – Pater Imon (Our Father) and have visits from Father Petros as feast days arrive and as the need arises. In the primary school (Grades 1 – 7) RS is part of the Greek curriculum taught with notes taken from Father Petros' syllabus and text books of the Greek Ministry of Education. These contain, among others, certain texts from the Old and New Testament. A basic acquaintance is made with the element of Greek Orthodox teaching. From grades 8 – 12 however each year is dedicated to focusing on a particular aspect of religion. Subjects covered include: Holictic Christian Education – Conference of Orthodox Religious Education and Research, 4 Valamo Lay Academy 28th July - 2nd August 2006 , Finland. Grade Subject 8 The Liturgical Year 9 Church History 10 The Orthodox Faith/Doctrine. 11 World Religions 12 Moral issues and ethics. In the History subject the themes covered also provide knowledge of Church history due them being a History of the Greek Nation who has always shared an inseparable life with the Church. Subjects covered include: Grade Historical Period 8 Byzantium 9 Modern Hellenic History 10 Ancient Hellenic History 11 Byzantium (In more depth than Grd 8) 12 Modern and Contemporary Hellenic History and the Diaspora Learners are also taught about the other major religions in the world, such as Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism as well as traditional African Religion. Father Petros wants to instil tolerance and sympathy in his pupils for people whose ways of worship are different, especially since they are growing and living in the multi-cultural and pluralistic environment that is South Africa. The School Chapel opened its doors ten years ago but only served the needs of the school by having week-day liturgies for the learners, weddings and baptisms for those past pupils of the school that requested them. In May of 2005, the School Chapel opened as a fully functional church. With the blessings of His Beatitude, Our Pope and Patriarch Theodoros II, and those of His Eminence our Metropolitan Seraphim, the chapel now functions every Sunday and feast-day and serves the needs of the school community and the community at large. His Beatitude, recognizing the demands of the times and the needs of our youth and of Orthodox faithful that are English-speaking, has decreed that the chapel will use English as its main liturgical language. Holictic Christian Education – Conference of Orthodox Religious Education and Research, 5 Valamo Lay Academy 28th July - 2nd August 2006 , Finland. I asked Fr Petros what some of the problems are that he is challenged with in how pupils react to religious education. He said that there is a lot of ignorance and unfortunately, some indifference. Many of the pupils have been incorrectly taught from a young age by older family members such as parents or grandparents. This then has to be corrected and replaced with the truth. The pupils also tend to give an unnecessary amount of focus to small things when a fundamental knowledge of basic principals is lacking. In the classroom many pupils show interest in learning and ask questions, but the same degree of interest does not reflect in their homework assignments. There are also fundamental problems with regard to church life. Either the parents do not bring their children to Church on Sundays or they arrive late. Fr Petros suggests this could be from the learners spending all week at school and therefore not wanting to be there on Sundays also. Nevertheless he is trying to break this bad habit of lack of punctuality by making parishioners aware that each part of the service is important for them to celebrate in order to experience the beauty of the whole service. It is the school's intention that the chapel greatly contribute to rectifying many misunderstandings and incorrect practices regarding the faith at a time when the faithful and their children are being exposed to and bombarded with varying and conflicting messages. Parents are encouraged to attend with their children, as the school would like children to begin to see church as part of their lifestyle and as quality time that the whole family can spend with God. The chapel is open daily from 07h15 to 15h30 and many scholars make use of this time for their daily devotions. Divine Liturgy is occasionally celebrated on weekdays and pupils attend on a rotational basis. Classes are held in the chapel when the subject is appropriate. Adult classes on religious issues, catechism and Bible study are held every Wednesday evening in the school's chapel. There is a friendly and casual approach which encourages persons to participate and ask probing questions. It is strongly encouraged that parents bring their pre-school children to services as Holy Communion is taken with great enthusiasm by many of the young ones, and as they get older it is with more consciousness and understanding. Confession generally begins with pupils from between 13 and 14 years old. Fr Petros is also a counsellor for all members of the school community on a daily basis. Holictic Christian Education – Conference of Orthodox Religious Education and Research, 6 Valamo Lay Academy 28th July - 2nd August 2006 , Finland. In order to provide a holistic education, one that is hands-on and alive, a dynamic outreach program requires each class to take up a project to assist disadvantaged people. For example one of the grades may raise money for, or spend time with HIV/AIDS-orphans. Another grade will be assigned to go and visit people in old age homes who have little contact with the outside world. The younger grades will have the task of collecting old clothes and toys for different charities. The school also involves the children in fund-raising activities where monetary donations are given to various needy associations. The pupils of SAHETI are offered a well rounded religious education and Fr Petros is a loving spiritual father. Missions: Through the endeavors, spiritual blessings and prayers of our late Patriarch Petros VII, and his eminence Archbishop Seraphim we now have several mission congregations in the northern part of the Archdiocese outside of the city of Pretoria composed of groups of people in or near Soshanguve, Mamelodi, Dennilton and Eldorado Park in north-western Gauteng. People in these places speak a variety of languages, including Tswana, Northern Sotho, Tsonga, Ndebele and Zulu. Some liturgical texts have already been translated into Northern Sotho and Tswana, and there is hope to get others translated when suitable translators can be found. In Mamelodi a missionary gathering meets for Church services and a chapel has been built in Eldorado Park south of Johannesburg, where there are a number of mainly Afrikaans speaking coloured people, mainly children, who were baptised in July 2001. Fr Jacobus who is Afrikaans-speaking serves the Divine Liturgy. There are other congregations that have been formed in the North-West, Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces. In July 2002 three people from Soshanguve were baptised, and one of them, Johannes Rakumako, was sent to the Patriarchal Seminary in Nairobi, Kenya, to train as a priest and has returned and been ordained and now serves one of the mission congregations. A plot has been acquired in Soshanguve on which a church will be built. The monastery of St. Nectarios is the first to be established in our Archdiocese. It lies in a peaceful and scenic area not more than 45 minutes drive from Johannesburg. It is conveniently located to allow for day visits and short spiritual retreats by the Clergy of our Holictic Christian Education – Conference of Orthodox Religious Education and Research, 7 Valamo Lay Academy 28th July - 2nd August 2006 , Finland. Church and other volunteers from our community. The establishment of this centre of Orthodox monasticism and practice close to Johannesburg will enrich many families own Christian experience, helping all to engage in today's social, cultural, religious and ethical dilemmas as an Orthodox witness. The intention of the St. Nectarios Monastery is to help nurture the next generation of Orthodoxy Clergy and laity and to witness to the living tradition of Orthodox Christianity and monasticism whilst at the same time providing a safe and peaceful location for prayer, religious youth camps, seminars and other appropriate activities. Parishes: Sunday Schools operate at all 19 churches of our Archdiocese. 16 are Greek, 1 Russian, 1 Romanian and 1 Serbian. The schools of all the parishes total 30, and there are 26 teachers. 5 of them teach higher level, 10 middle school level and 15 teach lower level. Through the auspices of His Eminence Archbishop Seraphim once a month an educational pastoral seminar is held for our teachers where they gain from lectures by expert guest speakers. Every year an annual festival is organised for all the Sunday schools with religious plays and poetry recitals. I would lastly like to mention my spiritual father Fr. John Tsaftaridis who originates from Zante (Zakinthos). Since 2001 he has endeavoured tirelessly and with love to create bonds between people in our community - both orthodox and those of other faiths. His endeavours include the organisation of various conferences and fascinating discussions aimed especially at the youth (but appealing to all) addressing issues such as alcohol and drug abuse, bioethics, stress, depression and aids from an orthodox point of view.

Justification: This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is extremely large, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. |

Population Trend: | Decreasing |
Habitat and Ecology: | Behaviour This species is a full long-distance migrant (del Hoyo et al. 1996). It breeds from late-May to August (Hayman et al. 1986) in solitary pairs (del Hoyo et al. 1996), although it may also form small colonies (Flint et al. 1984). After breeding adults disperse to coastal moulting sites, the onward migration to wintering grounds then continuing into October and November (Hayman et al. 1986). The species often flies in large flocks (Hayman et al. 1986) and forages in groups outside of the breeding season (del Hoyo et al. 1996), occasionally aggregating into huge flocks of several hundreds of thousands of individuals at favoured sites (e.g. in Mauritania) (Hayman et al. 1986). Habitat Breeding The species breeds in marshy, swampy areas in lowland moss and shrub tundra (Johnsgard 1981, Flint et al. 1984, del Hoyo et al. 1996) near wet river valleys (Johnsgard 1981), lakes and sedge bogs (Flint et al. 1984), as well as on swampy heathlands in the willow and birch zone near the Arctic treeline (Johnsgard 1981), in open larch Larix spp. woodland close to water (del Hoyo et al. 1996), and occasionally on open bogs in the extreme north of the coniferous forest zone (Johnsgard 1981). Non-breeding On passage the species may frequent inland wetlands (Hayman et al. 1986), sandy beaches with pine Pinus spp. stands, swampy lowlands near lakes (Flint et al. 1984) and short-grass meadows, but during the winter it is more common in intertidal areas along muddy coastlines, estuaries, inlets, mangrove-fringed lagoons and sheltered bays (del Hoyo et al. 1996) with tidal mudflats or sandbars (Johnsgard 1981). Diet Breeding When breeding the species feeds on insects, annelid worms, molluscsand occasionally seeds and berries (del Hoyo et al. 1996). Non-breeding In intertidal areas the species's diet consists of annelids (e.g. Nereis spp. and Arenicola spp.), bivalves and crustaceans, although it will also take cranefly larvae and earthworms on grasslands and occasionally larval amphibians (tadpoles) and small fish (del Hoyo et al. 1996). Breeding site The nest is a depression positioned on a dry elevated site (del Hoyo et al. 1996) such as a tundra ridge (Johnsgard 1981) or hummock (Flint et al. 1984), often between clumps of grass (del Hoyo et al. 1996) or under a thicket (Flint et al. 1984). Management information In the UK there is evidence that the removal of Spartina anglica from tidal mudflats using a herbicide is beneficial for the species (Evans 1986). |
Systems: | Terrestrial; Freshwater; Marine |
Major Threat(s): | The species is threatened by the degradation of foraging sites due to land reclamation, pollution, human disturbance (del Hoyo et al. 1996, Kelin and Qiang 2006), reduced river flows (Kelin and Qiang 2006) and in some areas the invasion of mudflats and coastal saltmarshes by mangroves (owing to sea-level rise and increased sedimentation and nutrient loads at the coast from uncontrolled development and soil erosion in upstream catchment areas) (Straw and Saintilan 2006). The species is also susceptible to avian influenza so may be threatened by future outbreaks of the virus (Melville and Shortridge 2006). |

You can count them out as a possible 1st round trade partner with the Cowboys. Who else could be a first round partner for the Boys and why? I think it will be Pittsburg so they can draft LenDale White. We get their 1st round pick plus either a 3rd or a 4th and 5th.
If we get the 3rd that might be Ok. I want us to get an extra 1st day pick if we trade down so we can go OLB, OT, OG and FS on the 1st day. If we don't get another 1st day pick we might as well stay put and just pick up some UDFA's.
If the JETS trade with the Saints, and give them their late 1st-round pick, I believe the Cowboys may know someone in the Saints front office.
they wont trade up because the saints have their running back, they got their qb, they need a wr but the wrs are all second round worth, no more, they need defensive help and there offensive line needs help too
Well, your top five is going to look like this tomorrow: 1. Houston Texans - Mario Williams (Duh) 2. New York Jets (from New Orleans Saints) - Reggie Bush (Double duh) 3.

Hawk - (no brainer) So it was written, so it shall be. The Saints will get #4 and #29 (both picks are close to 2600 on the pick value chart plus they'll get the guy they want anyway). I'm betting that's how it will unfold tomorrow. Jets fans will be going NUTS!

If quarterback Alex Smith signed the 49ers' three-year, 24 million offer from the 49ers a week ago, the 49ers would have their quarterback and Smith would have a job for the 2012 season.Now, the 49ers do not have a starting quarterback and Smith's NFL future is in limbo.An NFL source told CSNBayArea.com on Sunday that Smith has nobody to blame but himself for presenting the 49ers with an opening to pursue free-agent Peyton Manning."It was in Smith's best interest to sign that deal a week, 10 days ago," said the source.Now, Smith finds himself in the middle of a leverage battle that involves the Miami Dolphins and Seattle Seahawks. The Dolphins felt all along they would sign free-agent quarterback Matt Flynn. Now, they're getting nervous, the source said.MAIOCCO: Moving parts aplenty in 49ers' QB drama
Flynn is looking for the kind of contract Kevin Kolb signed a year ago with the Arizona Cardinals -- five years, 63 million with 21 million guaranteed. Neither the Seahawks nor Dolphins plan to commit that much money to Flynn, a four-year veteran with two career starts.
Flynn visited the Seahawks and Dolphins on back-to-back days, Friday and Saturday. Flynn could be the first domino to fall. Whichever team does not sign Flynn will then turn its attention to Smith.Smith is expected to visit the Seahawks this week, said another source, confirming a Sacramento Bee report.RELATED: Smith has visit lined up with SeahawksBut Smith is not expected to attract a contract from the Dolphins or Seahawks that is more lucrative than what the 49ers offered, the source said. Plus, the team that signs Smith is also likely to invest a high draft pick on a quarterback, the source said.Miami has the eighth overall pick, while the Seahawks are slated to select No. 12 overall.Whether the 49ers end up with Manning or Smith, the organization would not look to add a quarterback early in the draft. The 49ers traded up last year to select Colin Kaepernick with a second-round pick.The 49ers were not willing to offer Smith a lucrative contract with sizable guaranteed money because the team wants to keep the door open for Kaepernick to take over as the starter in the near future.The 49ers, Denver Broncos and Tennessee Titans are the remaining contenders to sign Manning.Manning has not informed the 49ers -- or the other teams -- about his time frame for making a decision, a source told CSNBayArea.com. Manning has acted unilaterally, the source said, and agent Tom Condon is not intimately involved in Manning's process. Condon also represents Smith.

After an extraordinary three-week run at the Chinese box-office, the sixth instalment of Jackie Chan's Police Story (3D) will release on February 14 in over 180 screens in Tamil Nadu in two languages — English and Tamil. This is also his first film to release in 3D.
"Jackie Chan has a huge following in Tamil Nadu, and Police Story releases in India even before it releases in the U.S. The film has collected close to Rs. 400 crore in China," says Mohan of Surabhi Films, which has bought the Tamil Nadu distribution rights of the film.
A common goal
Sasi Kumar's all set to play the aam aadmi in his next release Bramman. "Without even being aware of our actions, we, the ordinary people, effect a certain change in society, which helps it evolve. Bramman tells the story of a commoner's aspirations and goals," says director Socrates.
Despite having worked with Kamal Haasan and Mouli, it has taken a while for Socrates to do a film on his own. "It was difficult to get some face time with Sasi Kumar for he is known to listen to scripts from only those close to him. I was insistent on signing him for this film because he brings a certain authenticity to the role." Devi Sri Prasad has composed music for this film.
In control
Contrary to speculation, the Simbhu-Nayanthara flick, directed by Pandiraj, is proceeding without any hiccups. "They both have been so professional on the sets and are working without any baggage from their past," says the film's cinematographer Balasuramaniem. Pandiraj is being credited for the smooth proceedings. "He knows how to speak to the artistes and get the work done," says the cinematographer.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Silken Berlaymont Brussels
They wanted us to pay twice for one room
We stayed at the hotel for one night. The hotel seems to be right but rooms are quite small. Breakfast is delicious and worth every penny (not included in room price). My room was already payed by the company inviting me but they wanted me to pay anyway! And after I get back and check my account, I realized they've made the transaction twice!!! So I payed double price for already payed room, horrible! Stay away from this hotel...
Location is the key
Im frequently staying at this hotel only because of its location. It is next to the european commission. The staff is extremely slow, reception and room service rarely answer the phone, and its very expensive comprared to its facilities. On the good side, apart from location the food is very good, SOME of the rooms are comfortable and newly decoraded. Thats about it. If you have a choice prefer a hotel down town.
Flocks of dust / 3 course dinner = snack
Airo humms all night.
The bedlinnen was only flattened.
(I left a memo under it, so perhaps you are lucky to find it)
Dust, rubbish and spiderwebs.
The Natali / 2 others at the reception speak only French (what to expect in Brussel). However a blond girl, is very pleasant and speaks also German.
The dinner. Take my advice better go left around the courner and 20 meters is a little restaurant. Breakfast 07-12 thats very good.
I had free parking (24Euro/ day). But not mentioned, max car 1,95 hight 2 m width. However my car was 2m high and it fitted.
Due to businesscentre activities, in the midday there was no spot.
It is not 4 stars, so we would not recomment it.
Not impressed
I recently stayed at the Dorint for a business trip. Initially i was given a room two floors below the ground floor. the room was dull and dank and when i pulled back the duvet on the bed, the sheet, although look clean, was quite crumpled. I returned to reception to change rooms and was offered a room on the 5th floor. Again, the room was very dull and dark. Although on the surface the room looked clean, on closer expection, i discovered that the bathroom was not cleaned to a good enough standard. I had room service breakfast and again, not impressed. The hotel is owned by the Silken group. I recently stayed at their Bilbao hotel. It was amazing and am, therfore, very disapointed by my experience in their Brussels hotel. Although I found the staff on reception very helpful, I will not be returning.
Modern, stylish hotel
I stayed here for two nights when in Brussels for business. It was certainly one of the better hotels I've stayed in in Brussels.
Quick check-in in a stylish open lobby, lovely spacious and nicely decorated bedrooms, with great photographs both in the room and in the corridors. Thumbs up for the "first drink free" from the mini bar!
Very pleasant buffet breakfasts and lunches served in a nice space.
One complaint is the attempt to overcharge for wine bought from room service.
Overall, in comparison to other hotels in the area (very good for EU institutions, not so good for being in town) it's very nice.
Nice Facade but don't dig too deep!
My personal view of this hotel is that it is too reliant on its modern stylish entrance/reception but can't seem to get the basic components of good service right (except for the staff who were very helpful and polite).
I stayed in this hotel recently when on a business trip which I extended over a weekend in order to do some sight seeing. My experience of the Dorint was quite poor. After booking through their website, I arrived to find no reservation had been made and had to rely on my confirmation email booking form which I took with me.
They were able to offer a room (smoking only) so it therefore wasn't very pleasant. Other than that, if you like dark pannelled but basic decor then you'll be fine.
I then discovered after trying to find the stairs down from my floor that the only exit door (the firedoor) was locked! I informed the reception staff but didn't have a chance to check if this had been sorted before I checked out.
I had a meal in their restaurant which although was very good - the service was appauling and my first course took approx 30-40 minutes to arrive even though the restaurant was half empty.
After reading the other review about the falling ceiling - I wasn't really surprised.
For my extended sight seeing days - I moved to another hotel which was fantastic.
Stylish Modern Hotel with Spa
Modern stylish hotel - lots of interesting photography in the long hallways and in the room. My room was comfortable and modern in design. I visited the spa one morning (I believe it was an extra 9 euros) and found the jacuzzi and the spa were nice and enjoyable but the water in the jaccuzzi was not very "hot". The spa also has a cold plunge, steam room, sauna, showers and sun tanning bed.
This Hotel is located in a mixed residential/office buildings part of town - a great location if you are here on business or don't need to be in the "middle" of the action. It is not located near the tourist spots - but they are easy to get using the metro/subway (a station is 3 blocks from the hotel).
I stayed here for two nights in Aug 2004. As in many parts of Europe during August, the adjacent coffee shop was closed. Overall found it enjoyable and would most likely stay here again.
Couldnt ask for more
When you first arrive and compare the Dorint with its neigbouring hotels, you realise youve made the right choice. It is modern and welcoming with very friendly staff. The rooms are well designed and while containing all the usuals, it boasts a full size desk, seating area and balcony, while still feeling spacious. There is nothing more you could ask for from the hotel although prehaps for the business user and being such a new hotel, you would have thought wireless Internet access would be available. A great choice.
Scary night
We just returned from Brussels where spent two nights in Dorint hotel. The first night was great ? large comfortable room and extremely nice reception girls. On second night at 4 a.m. the ceiling fell down in entry space ? large heavy peace of wood, about 2 meter long. Terrible noise was really scary. It was our luck we were in bed, not near the bathroom . We could not get out by ourselves and called the reception. Soon they helped us to move to other room, but we did not get any apologises from staff. So, be careful ? something is wrong with the construction of ceilings in this hotel.

I'm getting my old iMac G5 ready to give to grandchild so I erased all the data. When it restarted from the original disks, it recognized my wireless mouse by the name I used when I set it up, "joe blow's mouse" Not a big deal, I hope, but why didn't that info disappear when I erased the drive? I used the one time pass method, all zeros. (actually, I did the one time pass twice.)
Thanks for any assistance. |

Assuming that the erasure of the HD went fine...I think that the wireless mouse retains the information.
When you turned the computer on (after doing the HD erase & I'm assuming a fresh OS install)...the computers bluetooth was probably already turned on...and it was searching for bluetooth devices. The bluetooth mouse was probably turned on & broadcasting it's info (Joe Blow's mouse)...thus the computer picked up the items signal. If you turn off the bluetooth device, remove it's battery. or place it more than 30 feet from the computer...then the freshly setup computer shouldn't "see" it. If your iMac G5 has already been setup with this bluetooth mouse (by accident after the HD erase)...then you may need to delete that info from the computer.

Kings-Flames Preview
The Calgary Flames have generated very little offense following their last three victories.
At least they've been rebounding nicely from defeats.
Calgary hopes that continues on Wednesday night when it hosts a Los Angeles Kings club going for a fourth win in five tries before heading home.
With Monday's 4-0 loss at Phoenix - the team's first shutout of the season - the Flames (5-6-3) have totaled three goals in their last three chances to post back-to-back wins.
"You can't expect to work one game and take one night off after and think you're going to become a playoff team," said first-year coach Bob Hartley, whose team overcame a two-goal third-period deficit in Sunday's 4-3 victory at Dallas. "No one cares about us. There's 30 teams and you have to make your own nest."
The Flames, who have netted 11 goals while winning two straight after a loss, kick off a three-game homestand with the Kings (6-6-2) making their only visit this season. These teams split four games in 2011-12, with the road team winning each time.
Calgary scored just three total goals in those contests against Jonathan Quick, who snapped a personal three-start losing streak with 23 saves in Tuesday's 3-1 victory at Edmonton.
Jeff Carter's redirect of Trevor Lewis' shot with 49.6 seconds left was the difference - Jarret Stoll added an empty-net goal with 21.3 seconds remaining - as Los Angeles evened its record on a three-game trip that started with Sunday's 3-2 loss to league-leading Chicago.
"I think we played a pretty solid road game tonight," said Lewis, whose two assists were his first points of the season. "... We gotta keep this going and get in the playoff hunt."
The defending Stanley Cup champs, who moved past Colorado and the Flames in the Western Conference standings with the win, now go for a fourth consecutive victory at Calgary. Los Angeles then begins a stretch of eight of nine at Staples Center that concludes with back-to-back games against the Flames on March 9 and 11.
With Miikka Kiprusoff still sidelined with a sprained knee ligament, Danny Taylor could be in net again for Calgary. The 26-year-old turned aside 33 shots on Monday in his first NHL start. His previous appearance was his NHL debut, March 29, 2008, while with Los Angeles.
"I feel like I can play this game at the NHL level, it's just a matter of staying focused for 60 minutes,'' said Taylor, a Kings seventh-round pick in 2004. "If I'm not in the moment all the time, it doesn't matter how good you are, you're not going to play in this league.''
If Taylor doesn't get the nod from Hartley, Joey MacDonald will make a second start since being claimed off waivers last week.
If Quick isn't in net for a third straight game, Jonathan Bernier will attempt to win a career high-tying third consecutive start. Bernier has faced the Flames once, a 3-1 loss on Oct. 10, 2010. That was the Kings' 10th straight - and most recent - defeat in Calgary.

Following its acquisition by Apple, Beats has shut down MOG, which it acquired for $14 million in July 2012.
As a result, the website of the defunct music streaming service, which was founded in 2005, now points to Beats Music:
Hey Moggers. It's been a wild ride. We want to thank you for your loyal support all these years. Beats has incorporated some of the best features of MOG, along with our curated playlists from our expert curation team.
MOG was initially scheduled to be shut down on April 15. But it's only yesterday, May 31, that Beats pulled the plug on the service. Monthly billing was stopped on May 1, with all annual subscriptions eligible for refund on a prorated basis.
Before it closed, MOG offered a migration tool for "Moggers" to transfer their playlists to Beats Music. A solution is currently being developed for those who did not get a chance to migrate their playlists.
In a statement to TechCrunch, MOG founder David Hyman said, "I'm incredibly proud of the team and our accomplishments. We raised the bar and significantly contributed to ushering in the new wave of streaming music."
Apple recently acquired Beats — and, by extension, MOG — for $3 billion. The company is expected to announce its plans for and more information about its Beats acquisition at WWDC 2014.
The conference is scheduled to kick off with Apple's keynote address, which will be live-streamed here, at 10 a.m. PDT on Monday, June 2.
Stay tuned to AppAdvice for our full coverage of the event.

I'm running it on my laptop and desktop in conjunction with Windows Defender, and I haven't had any difficulties as yet to attribute to such a conflict. I haven't had any difficulties at all with my laptop (after I finally got my dual boot setup/restored), and those difficulties I've had with my desktop are self-induced by my tinkerin', and not related to any conflicts as near as I can determine.
Having read that same caution, I did add the StartIsBack folder in C:\Program Files (x86) to the excluded locations in the Windows Defender Settings tab after I installed StartIsBack.Create a new drive image before making system changes, in case you need to start over!

1. Pressure on the environment Slovakia has relatively large but uneven underground water reserves. This is due to its diverse and complicated geological structure and the uneven distribution of precipitations and river networks. According to data provided by Slovak Environmental Inspectorate (SIP), the main factors threatening water quality were: low working and technological discipline, transport and haulage, unsatisfactory facilities caused by insufficient maintenance.
Agriculture plays a relatively important role in the country's economy. Ploughed land prevails in the intensively used agricultural areas. The main Slovakian lowlands and lower parts of the Carpathian basins have been degraded into habitats of low biodiversity. During the last 40 years, many meadows and pastures have been converted into intensively managed grasslands. Over-fertilizing and the use of hybrid seed mixtures for restoration have changed the species composition of the grasslands. Transformation back to the species-rich meadows is problematic, particularly in mountain regions (GRID ENRIN).
2. State of the biota With a forest cover of 40.8 percent (1 998 283 ha) the Slovak Republic is one of the European countries with the highest percentage of forest cover. 40-45 percent of the forest is semi-natural originating from natural regeneration and contains a species composition that is very similar to natural forests. This is quite unique for Slovakia and is not found in many other countries in Western and Central Europe. More than seventy fragments of natural and virgin forests with a total area of 18,000 - 20,000 ha still exist in Slovakia. Most of these areas are large enough to be considered as independent conservation units (GRID ENRIN).
At present Slovakian forests face two serious problems: large-scale deforestation and the gradual decline of the health of the forests mainly due to air pollution, a globally changing climate and inappropriate forests management (REC 1997).
Globally wetlands are among the most endangered ecosystems. One tenth of Slovakia's territory has been drained especially in lowland and riverside areas (mainly for the construction of water works, regulation of river flows and the exploitation of peat). This has caused the disappearance of wetlands and water ecosystems and has lead to the eradication of numerous organisms.
3. Response The Strategy, Principles and Priorities of the State Environmental Policy (later renamed the National Environmental Policy or NEP) were approved in 1993. This document outlines Slovakia's environmental policy agenda until 2010 and includes a comprehensive legal platform for solving issues related to waste management, environmental impact assessment and the environment as a whole. (REC, 1997)
There are four biosphere reserves and five national parks in Slovakia. The national parks are the following:
Tatras NP Low Tatras NP Slovensky raj (Slovak paradise) NP Pieniny NP Velka Fatra NP

As you enter Lassen Volcanic National Park's northern entrance the first thing you see along the right side of the road is Manzanita Lake with Mount Lassen in the background.
Mount Lassen from Manzanita Lake (click on photos for full sized images)
A birding friend of mine listed nesting White-headed Woodpeckers (Picoides albolarvatus) on the local Shasta County listserve so I thought I'd head up to Lassen Park to check it out. I wanted to do a bit of scouting before our annual Audubon Outing anyway and it's only an hour from my house.
The White-headed Woodpecker is a non-migratory bird found in mixed coniferous forests dominated by pine trees in far western North America. Yah, another western species
Why are they found only in this habitat? Pine seeds are an important part of their diet through much of the year but especially in fall and winter. Throughout their range they require habitat with an abundance of mature pines (with large cones and abundant seed production) and availability of snags and stumps for nest cavities1.
This pair was bringing beaks full of insects to what was left of a burned out stump of a huge pine tree, the remains of which were probably three feet in diameter and only eight to ten feet tall.
The adults were arriving pretty regularly to the cavity entrance to feed the persistent demands of the nestlings. Here the male shows his red occipital patch and you will notice that the nestling's crown is all white.
In a subsequent trip a different nestling, with a hint of pale scarlet on its crown, comes to the entrance.
And again, the hungry white-crowned nestling. Note that the adult always turns its head to the side to accommodate the nestling during the transfer of mainly larvae and adult insects.
This is clearly a third and different nestling with an extensive scarlet crown patch.
White-headed Woodpeckers usually lay 4 to 5 eggs in a clutch and we've seen at least three different nestlings here now.
You can tell that these nestlings were getting close to fledging too. This one was sticking his head completely out of the entrance hole.
The female White-headed Woodpecker looks like the male without the red occipital patch.
She was doing more than her fair share of feeding the kids too. During the photo shoot, the adults were bringing something to the nest about every 15 minutes or so.
Fledging usually occurs in late June and early July when the nestlings are about 26 days old. At that time the adults will call and drum near the nest cavity to coax the nestlings out of the nest1. You saw this in the video at the top of the post.
The adults will usually attend the fledglings for another month or two as their flight skills increase, each parent taking care of half of the youngsters. I will look for them on our outing in a few weeks.

Great photos and video! I love these guys. We have a pair living near our cabin in the San Bernardino National Forest, and now I'm more eager to see them than ever. Thanks, Larry, for a wonderful post.
What fabulous photos! I love that the parents share the care and split the fledglings into two groups. Fascinating!
Larry, great series on this woodpecker and superb photographs! Another example of how important maintaining habitat is!
Superb! Thanks

Has Anybody Found A Fix I recently bought a 2007. This car is going to be sold unless I can get the headrests bent back some. Everytime I hit a bump I get hit in the back of the head. Leaning the seat back so my head doesn't hit the headrest is not comfortable on my back. Moving the headrest up and down does not help.
Well i am 5 8 and i rest my head on the headrest while driving, i fing them awesome with all the options i have in the power seats. And coming from someone who has been rear ended while i was sitting still, they work exceptionally well! He was doing 100 Km per hour
It's good if you have the power seat..... For those with power seats, dont just adjust the back of the seat. Tilt the entire seat back just a bit till your head is about an inch away from the headrest. I'm 5'6"
Honestly I have never had a problem with this. But it seems like the only time it would be a problem is if you hold your neck all the way back into the seat. Or if your seat is straight upright.
What angle do you sit at? 75*? Even at a 90* angle my head has no problem with the headrest and I have a 2005 Mustang that was quite early in the build dates. I'm 6'0" tall with zero issues no matter where I set it unless I have a helmet on.
Need A Solution Looking through the previous posts, I don't seem to be alone. Several people are not happy with these headrests. I do not have power seats. Surely, someone has found and aftermarket headrest that doesn't come so far forward.
He was doing 100km per hour and that's all the damage to the car. That doesn't sound right. I would expect much more extensive damage.
well thats what the police report said and he drove me into the far lane on the highway that i was about to pull onto. I am guessing that( i know cause i have replayed it a few times in my head) once he made contact my foot came off the brake and sorta let me roll with him.
I agree I have had my 2007 GT Conv for 3 weeks and so far the only thing I can find wrong is the head restraint. You can reverse them but then they are a bit too far away to give perfect protection. Perhaps only hope is aftermarket or ones from another car. Very poor design from ford. Peter
turn the headrest around and get a pillow first: i've never figured out why people go out of their way to bash people on these threads, especially when it's obvious that the person with the problem isn't looking for criticism. empathy, yes; critcism, no. second: i found a guy to create new headrests for me. rich santana does hot rod interiors in california. he's installing BMW posts on my headrests so they move forward/backward and up/down. While he works on mine, he sent me his from the same car. But here's the juicy bit: i put the driver one in backwards and bought a squishy neck pillow at Target that has a strap that snaps around the posts!!!! It's fantastic. No more head and back pain after one hour of driving on a 6 hour trip. The girlfriend has no problems with her seat just the way it is. Different body shape I guess, but no matter. So, the conclusion is, in the meantime at least, try pulling out the headrest, turning it around, and getting a pillow of some sort that goes on your neck. You're still protected from whiplash and you can be much more comfortable. Sorry, I don't have any pics. I'll have to get some if people want them.
I have an 05 gt convert. and have never noticed anything remotely like what you are saying. I'd have to see it to believe it.
Under normal driving conditions, the headrests don't really bother me other than blocking my rear view whenever backing the car up between spaces in a parking lot in which I find as very annoying especially when having to remove the headrest every time It becomes necessary to back the car up...
I can't tell you how many times I've rolled up on a new mustang and just shook my head at the way the person behind the wheel was positioned. All I could see through the back glass was a drivers seat back, couldn't even see daylight over the top of the seat. No wonder you're uncomfortable with your chin in your chest... sitting all jacked up on the steering column with your fingers in the defrost outlets. Here's an idea... find a buddy your build and weight and have them sit in the drivers seat while you sit in the passenger... I'll guess you are looking up at them and not across at them. Get your seat out of the air and your head off the headliner. 5'11 and no issue with the headrest what.so.ever.
I don't understand why people say that the headrest is a poor design just because it isn't perfect for THEM. With this kind of ego your head is obviously too big for any headrest. Don't you realize that no headrest is perfect for everyone? Just about every car I have ever been in has a headrest that is useless to me because they are too far away from my head. My Mustang headrest however is about an inch away which is perfect if I am ever in an accident. I guess this means that every headrest in every car ever built should be the same as this one then. Sorry wasn't meaning to be rude, but this post kind of just wrote itself
Turn the headrest around or something. Or just get rid of the car if it really bothers you that much.
hey, here's an idea: let's go out of our way to be rude, snide, caustic jerks when we could spend our time doing something useful like being a rude, snide, caustic jerk on SOMEBODY ELSE'S thread!!! man, i'm just full of great ideas. jeez people, go elsewhere if you don't have the problem. do you HONESTLY have nothing better to do than go around picking arguments with people who are simply looking for an answer to a problem?
I am neither trying to pick an argument with anyone or trying to ruin this thread, I was just trying to make a point. There are a lot of comments in this thread about "poor design" "dropping the ball" "GTO headrests being right and Mustang being wrong." I was only trying to say that quite a few people love them the way they are. If Levis only made one size jeans then I am guessing they wouldn't fit everyone. Obviously it is not always possible to custom fit a vehicle for each driver. With that said, good luck on finding an alternative headrest and or seat. I hate to see people unhappy with what I think is an incredibly awesome car because of something that shouldn't be an issue but unfortunately is for some. Later.
I can definitely see where driving with a helmet will be annoying. Some options: 1. remove the leather/cloth/vinyl cover over the headrest & carve out some of the foam. I'd guess that while it feels like your chin is in your chest, removing/carving just 1/2" of the foam would be a huge help. The cover will now likely be loose; either have it trimmed/re-sewn, or leave as is. Less foam, harder headrest, not ideal. 2. I would be suprised if every Ford headrest width is different; it seems like something they would keep consistent just to keep thing simple. Start checking out other cars head rests to see if they have a different angle from the posts. you probably can't order headrests separately from Ford, but maybe ebay/craigslist. Tom
my biggest suggestion for the headrest is to try different seat adjustments. with 8 way seats, there is a ton of adjustment. for a while, i struggled to find a perfect position for my seat so i could fully depress the clutch pedal, and reach 3rd gear during spirited driving. after a little trial and error, i still have a comfortable seat position, and i can reach the pedal and shifter easily. i am positive that with a little fine tuning, the headrests wont be an issues any longer.

Florida Man Goes to Jail Over Gator Tail
According to the Palm Beach Post, an Orlando man is in jail after being caught with a 50 inch alligator tail. Jason Brewer faces several felony charges related to the poaching.
An Orlando man accused Tuesday of illegally cutting off a 50-inch alligator tail told deputies he hacked it with a knife kept in his Taco Bell pants. After reading Brewer his Miranda rights, he told the deputy he had earlier parked at the St. Johns River near State Road 50, according to his arrest report. Brewer spotted a gator along the river bank and struck it in the head with a large piece of wood.

I don't see many redeeming features in them, but....
While I am no fan of the alligator species - I don't see many redeeming features in them , poaching is poaching. And while alligators have made a remarkable comeback in the last fifty or so years so much that they are abundantly (maybe over abundantly) numerous, there was a time when they were a threatened species. So the game laws are working and should be obeyed.
It would be hard to claim self defense when you carry four feet of tail away with you. He hit it with a stick? Are you serious? What kind of imbecile tackles a prehistoric reptilian predator species with a stick of fire-wood. Apparently this guy has a pattern of making poor decisions! Let's hope that this guy realizes that he isn't making good choices and decides to turn his life around after a brush with law enforcement on this issue.
Throw the book at him!
Throw the book at him! Poachers need to be made an example of...I know it will not cure the problem but it may stop someone else from starting a poahing career.
What a bone head, well hope
What a bone head, well hope he gets what he deserves. poaching is poaching and i feel no remorse for poachers. good jod Florida law enforcement. whats the deal with putting it in his pants?

This beautiful home has everything you need! Beach towel, toys, soap, shampoo, conditioner, laundry soap, etc. Top of the line appliances and a great fire pit off of the kitchen deck! We spent every night enjoying the sunset from the rooftop deck and BBQing on the rooftop summer kitchen!! The ocean views from the kitchen and the rooftop deck make cooking much more enjoyable!

Fairview-Shawnee Cemetery is located on Harrison Street near the intersection of Harrison and Independence. You cannot enter from Harrison Street but must go east on Independence Ave. for one block and turn right {south} on Center Street and enter the backside of the cemetery from Center Street. This is a very large cemetery with several internal roads dividing it into sections. I have listed the graves within the various blocks. Starting with Block 1 near the southeast corner and ending with Block 19 on the northeast corner, I have labeled the blocks as they are labeled on the cemetery's metal signs. Within each block, I always number the monuments within the row from north to south and start with row number 1 in the northwest corner of that block. Example: B1-R5-4 would be the fourth grave from the north end of Row 5 of Block 1. B7-R6-6 would be the sixth marker from the north end of Row 6 of Block 7. Block 18 currently does not have any graves. This is a large cemetery and you may need help in finding a particular grave. There is an office at the northeast end of the cemetery that should be able to help. Phone {405} 878-1529.
Blocks 5 and 6 are each separated into two blocks by roads. Blocks 5A and 6A are on the west end and 5B and 6B are to the east of the road. Block 14 is also separated into two blocks by a road. 14S is to the south of the road and 14N is to the north of it. On the east side of Center Street, are Blocks 1NE {northeast}, 1SE {southeast} and 2E {east}.
If you have family buried in this cemetery and would like to add their information, an obit,
tombstone photo, funeral home record or memorial card to this website, please send area coordinator an e-mail.
