Hongqiao is a Beijing shopping favourite, not because it is relaxed but because it has just about anything you could possibly want. However, with the recent crackdown on fake branded products, many of these are carried under the counter.
Hongqiao is known for its pearls and there are plenty of pearl shops here: do remember that these are freshwater pearls though, which are a lower quality than saltwater pearls!
Although the ground floor (and the basement fish stalls) are a seething mass of people al day every day, the crowds get less as you go higher up. There are some classy shops on the upper floors.
Note that several buildings nearby are now part of an 'extended' Hongqiao and you may get better bargains there.
There is a shop around the corner (actually behind the main Hongqiao - entrance where the car-park ramp comes out) which has vast amounts of toys, electronic games, sports goods and stationery.
What to buy: You name it, they have it. There are some nice silk tablecloths and napkins on the ground floor.
Hongqiao is also good for binoculars.
What to pay: If you behave like a ditzy tourist, you will pay ditzy tourist prices. The trick is to know the going China rate for things, which is difficult to know unless you live here. Push hard, and walk away at least once.
Address: Tiantan Donglu
Directions: Almost opposite the East Gate to the Temple of Heaven (there is a footbridge across to it).

The model maker
Sitting under a naked bulb, an earnest man briefly stares at the mess of junk on the table in front of him. His hand darts and he picks up a piece of coloured clay, shaping it between his fingers. He works quickly, fashioning a boot, adding green padding to it, then scoring lines with a sharp knife around the edges. At the edge of his table, finished models sit: Confucius, Guanyin, Sakyamuni, and three of the heavenly guardians found at the entrance to Buddhist temples. He is working on the fourth. Each statue is about 12 inches high, and exquisitely detailed. The heavenly guardians' beards are flowing and straggly, the hair wild and haggard, faces menacing. The costumes are beautiful, robes fluid and billowing.
The model maker happily answers questions about his work, and shows onlookers his tools: sharp wooden sticks to hold limbs and larger pieces, even sharper knives, and scissors. He concentrates in short bursts, looking intently at the model and his fingers wrap around pieces, pressing, pushing and pulling the soft coloured clay. The proportions are perfect, the scale just right. I look for a ruler or for some way he can measure pieces to ensure that, say, a right leg is the same as the left leg of a model: there are none. He can just tell by looking and feeling. Finished models sell, incredibly, for just RMB150 or US$18. I am not sure whether I am more astonished at the low price for such workmanship, or the fact that he takes just two hours to finish a model. We expect craftsmen to take their time, but the model maker at Houhai combines speed with beauty.
What to pay: RMB150 upwards
Address: Eastern 'corner' of Houhai
Directions: Opposite the bike rental shop

The famous covered market opposite the Lido Hotel has been demolished, some months after the dread demolition signs first appeared.
This was one of the easier markets to use because it was small, just one alleyway inside a long, grotty white-tiled building.
Alas, it is just a pile of rubble now, and the CD and massage shops went a few weeks beforehand.
If you are used to buying your CDs and DVDs at the shop one block away on the other side of the traffic lights, they have (voluntarily) moved to behind the row of restaurants on the Lido Hotel side of the lights.
What to buy: The Lido vendors have all moved on, many to Hongqiao, and some even to laitai.
What to pay: Not a lot for whatever you want: clothes, shoes, trinkets, DVDs
Address: Formerly opposite Lido Hotel
Theme: Other
The Friendship Store is a bizarre anachronism from all the old days when the good people of China all equally had nothing, and the Friendship Store was where the poor wretched foreigners spent all their money on delicacies and other nice things.
It always was a hotbed of non-existent customer service, and I understand they considered rebranding it as "Mei Yo Store".
In the new century, it remains a fascinating - if frustrating - exhibit of how bad store layout, customer service and point of sale tactics can get.
What to buy: It used to have the best selection of foreign books and magazines, and probably still does, but it has recently moved - just a few metres away - so that they can scatter the books about more haphazardly and make absolutely damn sure that you can't find what you want.
Many of the books are now in glass cabinets, and the whole lot is mixed up. They still have the most incredibly bizarre selection of publications, including fashion books from the 1970s (possibly due to come back into fashion again soon), weird architecture and interior design books, and strange tourist boks for other countries.
It always was a miserable place to buy books, especially as they refused to sell you the decent copies kept under lock-and-key and made you buy the moth-eared, dusty old version. Now it's worse.
Theme: Books
The new Laitai flower market is one of the biggest non-clothes markets on the east side of Beijing, although yu can find plenty of clothes in the huge underground market below it!
Lai Tai is a good place for particulary cold days, as the huge range of flowers, plants and orchids is interesting, even if you are not buying.
At the back of the building, and on the right hand side, there are about 20 shops selling aquariums and aquarium equipment.
Note that the best area for cut-flowers - at cut rate prices - is hidden away behnd those aquarium shops in a long hall running along the northern side of the building.
The Chinese love their flowers and love their aquariums, so this is a good place to see Beijing people haggling over the prices of both. It's certainly a good couple of hours people-watching!
Note that the ol, smaller Lai Tai still exists behind Durty Nellies on the south side of the Liangmahe, opposite the Lufthansa Centre.
What to buy: Orchids, house plants, cut flowers, outdoor plants (at the southern side), and fish - for watching, not eating.
Some of the more esoteric species here include huge discus fish, sharks, jellyfish, rays and lionfish.
Address: Lady Street (yes...that's its name..in English!)
Directions: Lady Street doesn't appear on any maps. It runs between Liangmaheqiao Lu and Xiao Yun Lu. Turn left at the German School and past the Israeli Embassy.
Theme: Flowers
Lamps are a particularly good bargain in Beijing, and there are plenty of lamp shops around. The best one is way out in the suburbs (near Pinnacle Plaza at the Wenyu river, if you really are a lamp fanatic) but there is a good shop in the Lai Tai area, in the long row of shops. It's just a couple of shops to the left of the entrance to the Bar Street. The gas patio lamps and heaters in the photographs are actually from the shop next door.
Most of the lamps are made on the premises, and there is a huge variety of shapes, styles and sizes. Many of them have a good solid feel, but are mainly modern. These are not the chintzy cloisonne lamps in the tourist shops, but classy lamps, many with shades made from home-made paper. Prices from RMB200 upwards.
Address: Lady Street
Directions: Opposite the new Lai Tai flower market.
Theme: Home Furnishing
The Friendship Store is one of those classics that just goes on and on, defyint the critics who suggest it must be due to close soon.
It is worth visiting one of the Friendship Store as much for its historical significance as for buying anything there, but it also has prices that are not unreasonable. Also it remains one of the few places to have a true Western-style deli (Jenny Lou's shops are another).
In the bad old days, there was only the Friendship Store. Period. If it wasn't in the Friendship Store (and usually it wasn't) you basically waited until you left China. The Friendship Store accepted FECs and foreign cash only, not Chinese money, so local people hung around the entrance looking in longingly at the goodies inside, reserved for the oppressed foreigners and the poor unfortunate cadres and government officials who were forced to buy stuff here.
Now, the Friendship Store is an anachronism: the vast numbers of bored, largely useless staff remain sullenly unhelpful and underemployed. A transaction like buying a magazine takes four of these talented individuals to complete the job: one to write down the price laboriously on a sales slip, one to take your money at a distant till, one to check the sales slip, and one to put the magazine in a plastic bag.
What to buy: The small touristy antiques are frequently 'only' found in the Friendship Store, and it is worth searching for handicrafts here. This may seem surprising, but there is rationale here. The Friendship Store is part of the 'tourist merchandise distribution channel' which means that they always get some of the stuff that goes into the wider market-place. As the Friendship Store gets much less shoppers than most places, the stock doesn't move as fast.
The downside is that the prices are almost fixed: not one worker here cares whether you buy or not - they are paid at the end of the week either way. Haggling over the price is utterly pointless.
In a bizarre way, visiting the Friendship Store is like a flashback to the 1970s, if you missed life under old-style Communism.
What to pay: More than average for everything, but not a whole lot more (maybe 10% more). Worth itif you can't find something elsewhere that you really want.
Address: Jianguomen wai dajie
Directions: One block west of the Silk Market. Also on Sanlitun Bei Lu (But this one doesn't have antiques. It's just a local store for diplomats)
Theme: Antiques
Jenny Lou's has become a bit of an institution in Beijing. While big international brand name giants, including Carrefour, spend years planning and plotting there mega-stores in unhelpful places with abysmal parking, Jenny Lou's opens new stores regularly right where people want them. Whether at the Chaoyang west gate, Sanlitun Bei, near WAB or at Pinnacle Plaza, Jenny Lou's stocks exactly what the expats crave (at a price).
What to buy: Huge range of bread, breakfast cereals, cookies/biscuits, and the 'hard to find' food and drink can usually be found here.
However, always check the sell-by-date: they have a habit of keeping stuff way beyond the date when it should be consigned to the bin. We all complain about this, but Jeny Lou's know that there is nowhere else to go, so they apologise profusley, replace the dodgy item, and put it straight back on the shelf.
What to pay: High prices, but if you need your Instant Oatmeal or [your favourite brand], then Jenny Lou's is the most likely place to find it.
Also, they will deliver within a reasonable distance.
Address: Several
Directions: Sanlitun Beilu (along from the Riverside Cafe), Chaoyang West Gate (next to Annies), Pinnacle Plaza (this is actually a copy-cat store I believe, but it is still good), 100m north of WAB.
Theme: Food and Drink
Lai Tai is best known for being on the absurdly named 'Lady Street' and next to an alleyway called 'Lady Dressing Plaza'. It's common for areas or streets in China to have these kinds of functionally accurate, yet bizarre names!
Lai Tai is a big hanger full of plants, flowers, xiaoshan and aquarium shops: it's the horticultural Silk Market.
Yet below the roots of all these plants is two full floors of small shops. The first mezzanine floor has a lot of good jewellery shops, a number of shops selling porcelain and bags, and a good number of nail salons. At the back is an avenue of shoe and luggage shops.
Go down one floor further and there is a huge area of clothing shops, including some that sell ethnic clothing and even one with US army surplus.
What to buy: Lai Tai manages to avoid attracting tourists altogether, and is nowhere near as crowded as Hongqiao or Jilin Plaza.
Most of the shoppers are locals, and most of the foreigners work nearby.
Address: Lai Tai - lower two floors
Theme: Other
On Thursday 6th January at 6.30pm, the Silk Market closed for good.
A new building has opened alongside the old site, but few vendors will be moving in because of the high rental rates. The local authority promises "no fakes" on sale at the new indoor market: they clearly understand exactly why people came to the Silk Market, eh? So now you know exactly where you can buy your world-famous Chinese brand sneakers, jeans and jackets.
Rather amusingly, many of the vendors are complaining that the new indoor market has stolen the brand they spent years building up. The irony seems lost on them and the local media.
Some vendors have moved to Hongqiao Market (see review)
Address: North of Jiangguomenwai Dajie
Directions: about 1km east of Friendship Store

A town hall meeting in Emerald Isle ends in victory for some residents, at least for now.
Emerald Isle has decided to hold off on plans to rezone a part of their community to make way for 127 recreational vehicles.
The RV park would be built in the area of the Island Harbor Marina subdivision and residents there have been expressing their opposition.
Maritime Siblings LLC wanted to put the park along waterfront property the company owns.
Currently, 41 mobile homes sit on that property, and residents say many people live there year-round.
Jim Skinner says, "They are part of the community. They don't just come and go. With homes, they come and go."
Skinner, who organized a grass-roots movement and got over 400 signatures against the project, says the plan that Maritime previously brought to the table about 5-years ago was much better, and would allow for shops, condos and other recreational use, not the 127 recreational vehicles being proposed now.
Skinner says, "Why go to a completely different high density group of RV's with a road that's only 20-feet wide, already overcrowded with pedestrian traffic, bicycles, golf carts and of course motor vehicles."
The board took all of those points into consideration, listening to the hundreds who packed in the town hall meeting room.
Mayor Eddie Barber said, "The main thing tonight is that we said no to rezoning and we listened to our citizens."
Now the town is turning things back over to the planning department to bring more recommendations back to the board.
Once that's done, the town can move on with a hearing for special use of the property, which would determine whether the RV's will be allowed.

Trailers for New Movies Featuring John Morrison, Ronnie Garvin Talks About Vince McMahon
by Amish Patel - February 13, 2014
– Former WWE Superstar John Morrison has several new movies coming out in the future. Below are trailers for those movies:
– Wrestling legend Ronnie Garvin recently spoke with Steve & The Scum of WGD Weekly and talked about Vince McMahon:
"Vince is very successful. I'd be crazy to criticize that. The business has changed and it is not going to go back to the way it was and it's going to change again from what it is today. Somewhere down the road it will change again. That's why a lot of promoters got left behind. They thought he was going to go bankrupt, he was going to kill wrestling, they thought he was going to destroy the business, and what did he do. He took it over, they all went out of business, so Vince had a vision and it worked."

starring Jamie Kennedy, Alan Cumming, Traylor Howard, Steven Wright
screenplay by Lance Khazei
directed by Lawrence Guterman
by Walter Chaw Towards the end of the uniquely awful Son of the Mask, star Jamie Kennedy gets two fistfuls of his screen-wife Traylor Howard's bosom (this after pummelling her head against the ground in a scary depiction of domestic violence) and declares, in so many words, "Eureka--so it is you, honey." It's a charming vignette that follows about an hour of fart, snot, golden shower, and Exorcist jokes, each trumping the last in level of inappropriateness until finally the deadened synapses begin to register that with sets like "Edge City" and "Fringe City", the brain trust behind this abortion might actually have had something subversive in mind. A shame, then, that they've confused "edge" and "fringe" elements with puerile scatology and institutional dehumanization, intercut with baby and animal reaction shots and a marginal and failed television comedian (playing a marginal and failed television animator) mugging in an astoundingly lifeless approximation of "manic." For a film that might want to be taken as "edgy," in other words, Son of the Mask caters to the absolute lowest and commonest of the lowest common denominators.

Anyone have none? I don't want to be touched. Ugh... sucks. I normally love to DTD, but now not so much. My first pregnancy I had no problem with it. According to DH we did it all the time (I don't remember). Now, I just want to go to sleep every night. I feel sorry for DH. Last time we tried, I couldn't go through with it.

i have none. none! i'm still so tired and nauseous, and i feel like i can smell what my husband had for lunch when he kisses me good night (and he's a dentist, so it's just my overactive sense of smell!), so any kind of making out is out of the question!
i got put on pelvic rest on sunday...we had sex and it made me start contracting (i had pre-term labor with my first). kind of a relief!

I don't know if it's because I have a toddler now or what, but being pregnant this time around I have no desire to DTD. When I put my DD to bed, I put myself to bed shortly after and sex is the last thing I want. I don't turn down DH if he wants it, but I'm not seeking it out- that's for sure.
Hopefully my drive comes back soon!

I had absolutely NO sex drive for the whole first trimester. It's come back a little, but it's certainly not like normal now. And I also think my husband is afraid to bone a pregnant woman, even though he won't admit it.
We had sex last night for only the second time this whole pregnancy!
A baby needs a mother, not a martyr.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The White House is apparently promoting a hashtag on Twitter: #My2K. I assume that means the government is paying for the publicity it will receive on the social network to push its agenda.Or maybe it will merely leverage the instant word of mouth it has the power to produce. One strategy is slightly "less bad" than the other.

How do you guys think white rims, tires and handlebars would look with a dark green frame???
How do you guys think white rims, tires and handlebars would look with a dark green frame???
Doesn't matter what I think. It's your bike. Personally I'd go with white handlebar and rims and plain black tires. White tires get grungy looking real fast and white tires only wear for about 1/3 as long as black tires.
They say that Obama could be my president but really InI don't care
They say Biden makes my decisions but he don't, so I'm just not there
and I'm gonna see the same lies coming in the next 4 years,
So pardon me if I don't cry when your election goes the way it did
I've been using white tires for a long time and have never had too much trouble with them looking "grungy". They're obviously not going to stay as bright as when new but under pretty normal riding conditions, I've found them to be just fine (and I never clean them except for a quick wipe when cleaning my bike). I suppose they do wear a little quicker but I don't skid, so even that's never been any sort of problem.
I do agree with Retro Grouch though. White bars/black grips and white rims/black tires will look classy as all hell.
i had a white vittoria zaffiro pro and i got rid of it after 1 month. its dirty after the first ride.

Nice! Got any pics of Tricerachops? I don't know what it is about evil women...but me gusta.
This is fantastic! This also reminds me that I need to read Super Dinosaur. I have all the issues--I just haven't been able to find the time to read much of anything for a while--I'm about a year behind on Invincible, for example. Yikes!
don't you mean a dinosaur who happens to be a freaking bad ass
This is so full of awesome.
I don't know what it is but I want one
Talk about a trick out Dinosaur
Wicked cool like He Really needed Anything to make him More lethal Ha!!

Julio Omario
Chillanes, Ecuador
Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Loan Updates
28-year old Julio Omario is single and has no children. He lives alone in Chillanes Canton, in the province of Bolivar.
His community bank is called El Placer and is part of Chillanes Canton, in the parish of San Jose del Tambo, located 60 minutes from the main office. In this branch there are 24 members, all of whom work in agriculture. They grow bananas, rice, yucca, cocoa, soya, and oranges. As well they raise animals.
Julio grows cocoa and soya, and also raises pigs and then sells them. He buys them in San Jose del Tambo, and sells them in Chillanes market on Sundays.
He is seeking a loan to buy pigs and feed. The money will help him to improve the quality of the food he gives the pigs and thus earn more profit when he sells them. The biggest problem he faces is the number of people selling pigs who all compete on prices. His dream is to remain healthy so he can carry on working and build a house. In his free time Julio enjoys going for walks with his parents.

Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by

what is that called? I got it with my DD and it's somewhat pasty, meaning I can take my nail and scratch it out. I tried researching it on-line and I couldn't find anything. Is it the start/development of milk forming in my breast? If so, I wonder why it starts like this?
Is anyone else having this problem to?

Nice B&B
Our family of 4 is looking for a place to stay around Nice and we have been finding that availability is very limited. Are there any suggestions for a B&B in Nice? We can also stay somewhere in the surrounding area as we will have a car. Thanks!

So many bad puns come to mind! What to choose, what to choose?.. Oh, lets go for official this time ) hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2…
DotA 2 characters: Lanaya (Templar Assassin), Akasha (Queen of Pain) and Lyralei (WindRanger).
upd: Finally found time to add some corrections to Akasha's face
Delicious....the fingers in the mouth win me
I really want to like this. Lyralei is really cute could you draw a clothed vversion please
Where's Rylai? She has a special "relationship" with Akasha.
Really? Tell me more.
It's hinted at in game too lol.
How so?
Things they say to each other. One main response is "Queen of pain? She left me numb." This is from Rylai to Akasha.
Then there's one from akasha to rylai. "Crystal Maiden... are you really, I wonder?"
They had a fun time once. (Or twice)

Wow... so intense - I love it!
Fantastic work.. love the look, poses and colors.
lovely work!
i love lesbians!!!!!!!!!!!
oh god freckled boobies <3
could you do somethink on luna???
I finished with DotA girls. well, at least for now... maybe later )
Can you do art of League of Legends girls? If it has to be for a commission, then nvm and sorry for bothering you.
wonderful piece of work man keep it up
And this seems like one hell of a hot party to be had!!
Lanaya littered the surroundings with her psionic traps. The tables will turn eventually
nice :3
Веснушки на грудях? Лол?
This is just amazing.
I love the included bondage.
You're an amazing artist. But from my point of view, Windrunner would have been hottest in the position of Lanaya, with hands tied backwards. But it's still a masterpiece, thanks for sharing.
Oooh - some really, really nice color work here. The secondary lightsource adds a lot of nice shape, and all three of the girls look pretty darn good here together... The expressions are what sells it though - a pretty fun concept you made happen! XD
The redhead is super hot!
Pretty hot
Two awesome pics, you should NOT feel ashamed! Just put some more bewbs!!
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't imagined Lyralei in bondage, so thanks for making it a little easier to fantasise about
Love how Lanaya's chipping away at the bindings.
Awesome pic!
Awesome pic!
Nice man very alluring
looks like they are gonna have a lot of fun

Later in the afternoon we meet en masse for a media briefing. It is proving puzzling that canonisation actually involves a pretty small bit of ceremony (in advance of the Mass) and that Mary's accession will be mixed up with that of other, unfamiliar identities.
Ambassador Tim Fischer has his hands full. I ran into him the other day, or rather he ran into me as he zipped out the embassy door for a film shoot with Geraldine Doogue. "Twelve o'clock," he asked? "No," I said, "that must be someone else!"
His appointments are numerous and varied - prayer with the Sisters in the Vatican Gardens, dinner with the official Government party, myriad journalists, and so on. The embassy has recruited extra staff for the period to manage the volume of business.
Heading out the door not long after the Ambassador was the Josephite Sister who has carried the canonisation cause, Sr Maria Casey. She had already picked up the fact that for all the Australian legislation protecting Mary MacKillop from commercial exploitation, her image was to be seen in "even the most reputable" souvenir shops in Rome. Rome entrepreneurs evidently don't waste time and opportunity in formal protest!
My first Australian encounter was with early birds in the piazza - 33 Year 10-11 students from Tenison Woods College in Mt Gambier, SA, who had done the pilgrimage a little differently. They had already spent a few weeks at a sister school in Turin, learning about Italy's distinctive upper secondary school practice: students are streamed into discipline areas, so that the Mt Gambier students found themselves (the morning after a 40 hour flight from Melbourne -don't ask me why it was that long) in a specialist science school.
I spoke with Brianna McDonald, Michael Elliot Jones and Jayden Cutting. Their verdict on the school experience? No grass! Nowhere to play sport. But they love being here, discovering Venice and Florence along with Rome and Turin, and they are particularly looking forward to Sunday. Fr Julian Tenison Woods by the way is the priest who envisioned the religious order Mary MacKillop went on to establish.
The official pilgrims following the Mary MacKillop Roman route started out from Termini Station, which presents Rome to the uninitiated in what can be an unnerving light. So many people, so many buses, cars, taxis, so many touts. And like so much of public Rome, just plain grubby.
Termini is still a social indicator: the fittings might have changed, but the character can't have, all that much. Who were the ticket sellers, the newspaper boys, the beggars, the bag sellers, the touts of Mary's time?
Each pilgrim group organised by the official tour organisation has a Josephite Sister attached as a sort of spiritual guide. Fair dues to these Sisters. They had arrived in Rome just the previous day and were now out on the unforgiving Roman streets inducting mobs of Australians into the Roman chapter of the Mary MacKillop story.
I'm impressed by the age range in the groups. Two I have run across have had 84-year-olds in them, one of whom had never been out of Australia before.
I think it was Group 26 D that I came across in Sant'Andrea al Quirinale, where Mary came to pray. Outside, a woman asked me to take her photo: she was a Sydney-sider, not here for Mary MacKillop but on an independent discovery tour of the Baroque aspect of Rome, and this church is a jewel of Baroque architecture. It is of a size that can teach you to love the Baroque - and of course it is one of Bernini's.
Was she not interested at all in Mary MacKillop? It turned out that she had been educated by Josephite Sisters, thought Mary was a great woman, but she didn't like the hoopla of canonisation.
And she said an interesting thing: she thought the Mary MacKillop phenomenon, like the election result, showed that Australia was at some kind of watershed point. What did she mean, I asked. People didn't know who to vote for, she said - it was something about values, and she didn't want to elaborate.
Inside the church among the pilgrim group there was awe - before the art and the architecture and then before the relics. Here in Sant'Andrea is the body of Saint Stanislas Kostka after whom several Australian schools are named.
Bodies still have the capacity to initiate a reverent silence, even if you can't actually see them, and particularly the body of a 17-year-old who had walked all the way from Vienna to Rome in order to avoid family opposition and to join the Jesuits. He died 10 months later, in 1568.
Like many of the pilgrim groups, there was no organising principle to this one's membership - they came from all over Australia and included young and old. Here again were multi-generational family groups, like Toni Sillis from Sydney, with her young daughter Grace, her mother June Abbott, and her niece Isabel Jeffrey.
At her non-Catholic husband's suggestion, Toni paid for the trip with the money she had won as a prize for her role in community building at a school within the Parramatta area. Now she is the principal of a Catholic school at Ingleburn, where next year's enrolment for kindergarten numbers 60, of whom 57 are Catholic and three Orthodox.
This must be a very unusual intake in the Catholic education system today. As Toni explained, it reflects immigration patterns in the area - many Filipinos, for example. But like the make-up of the pilgrimage groups, it tells a story of the on-going creation of Catholic identity.
Down the road at the Quirinale Gardens, where Mary came to sit and think, there was another group. I talked with Karen Bergin who lives in Kensington, Melbourne. She wore a t-shirt presented by a friend, one of the 35 people, family and friends, who each donated $100 to send Karen on her way. Their names are printed on the back and Karen intends wearing it in the Piazza on Sunday. She brings their prayers with her, she said.
I've discovered that many people have stories they don't necessarily want to tell the media in order to have the story bruited about. Sit down and talk with people and it becomes clear that many are bringing with them yearnings and desires and distresses of all kinds, often to do with family members, tales of illness and debility and suffering.
They have come to think of Mary MacKillop as a friend and a companion along the way of keeping faith with whoever it is they have in their hearts. I think that is one of the reasons why there are so many women amongst the pilgrims - along with all the admiration of Mary's courage and vision and piety, and all the memories of grandparents and aunts and great aunts, you hear of daughters and sons and grandchildren.
There's a kind of architecture of relationship in all the talk - it's impossible to think in this context of the individual unadorned by relationship. In theological language this is all about the communion of saints, the company that spans time and place, and every stopping point and story in Rome becomes a way of elaborating that idea.
The last stop this morning was the Church of the Gesu, where Mary MacKillop found her best advisors amongst the Jesuits, for whom this is the Mother Church. St Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Jesuits, is buried here: he died in an adjacent room in 1556 and one can see his shoes, his cloak. These material things I find are unfailingly moving.
Mary visited this room, went to Mass here. Like Mary, Ignatius copped it from certain hierarchy. That's too long a story to tell, but interestingly, it was the kind of spiritual life that Ignatius initiated in his Spiritual Exercises that Mary learned to value in Rome and which she took back with her to Australia, to enrich the spiritual formation of her Sisters.
That Ignatian spirituality has become a growth industry in the context of Christian spirituality, appealing to people of many different traditions. You can understand why Mary liked this form of spiritual program - it's a disciplined and yet imaginative way towards discerning (and that is a key word) what God's will for one's life might be.
And it's a great motivator. Here, in Ignatius' room, Penola-based Josephite Sr Nieshe Allport (her father heard the name Nieshe on the radio and liked it - evidently it's Indian) led a reflection: she told the pilgrims to look below the surface of Mary's story. Yes, she set up schools, educated, did great things. But it all came out of her love for God.
And she used Mary's words to pray: let us have courage, and happy and grateful hearts. Among her group was 18-year-old Michael Scartaccini from Perth who works as a Coles supermarket manager.
Talking about motivation, there's a lot on show amongst the pilgrimage organisers. It's a feat getting all these people through the Roman churches and other points on their tours, given the opening hours of these places. And it's happening in part because so many extras have been drawn in from local colleges etc. - seminarians, doctoral students.
There's a lot of boning up on Mary going on that will make her much better known internationally - and, along the way, tell something of Australia's story.

MLB Teams With Apple On Paperless Ticketing: Report
TheStreet) - Paper tickets for popular events seem to be going the way of black and white TV and AM radio. Especially when it comes to Major League Baseball. Announced last night at a NYC gathering, mobile ticketing for baseball games is expanding and will be available for 13 ballparks this season.As reported by GigaOm, you will able to buy and present your e-tickets by using Apple's (AAPL - Get Report) Passbook app on your smartphone. In addition to the four teams that began the service late last season (New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals), the new teams signing on will include the Baltimore Orioles, Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics and Pittsburgh Pirates. No Yankees on this list - yet. Last week, MLB introduced its 2013 At Bat application, popular with both iOS and Google's (GOOG - Get Report) Android users. The free version of the software is increasingly preferred by Android fans while iPhone baseball lovers are much more willing to shell out the $20 per season for premium content. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com YORK (
