The Volcanic Island
Floating serenely in the middle of the ocean, Cortoza is a secluded land mass which was once a beautiful and highly populated tropical island. Two hundred years ago a powerful oceanic earthquake resulted in a chain reaction of death and destruction as Cortoza's active volcanic mountains erupted in a series of cataclysmic explosions that churned out a spectacular display of ash, rock, and molten lava, and finally ending with Mt Fumi's stupendous paroxysmal eruption. All of Cortoza's vegetation was destroyed, while humans and Pokémon not fast enough to flee perished in the resulting destruction as the western end of the island collapsed beneath the sea, generating a series of devastating pyroclastic flows and immense tsunamis that ravaged adjacent coastlines. The events of that day marked the last 24 hours on earth for over 50,000 people and 300,000 Pokémon, as the wave of destruction flowed across hundreds of coastal villages and towns. For the next hundred years nobody dared approach the island due to the constant seismic activity and mini eruptions, but for the past several decades all has been quiet. Pokémon have returned, and with very few people drawn to the volcanic island, wildlife has been given the chance to thrive. Although wary, people are also beginning to venture to Cortoza again, some of the more opportunistic seeing this land as their chance to strike it rich due to its fast-booming tourism industry. Most are curious though, as the island has shown amazing regenerative qualities, and many are eager to explore and to witness the miraculous regrowth for themselves. The tropical jungle is flourishing once more, Pokémon have returned, and as far as everyone is aware most of Cortoza's volcanoes have been laying dormant for almost one hundred years.
The IslandThe constant heat seeping up through Cortoza's volcanic soil has given the island a distinct tropical feel, a vast and winding rainforest taking up a large percentage of the land's mass and surrounding each of Cortoza's mountains. The rainforest is humid and full of life, but also very dangerous. The ground is unstable in certain areas making hiking through the forest dangerous even for the most experienced of guides. Several patches of arid, rocky land dot the island, where no vegetation will grow, and it's there that some of the strongest and most fearsome Pokémon roam.
Shale Beach: Shale Beach stretches around the outskirts of the island itself. Its sand is gritty and black, not at all the postcard picture you want to be sending home.
Ignatius River: Flowing from the base of Mt. Infernus and winding throughout the island before eventually flowing into the sea, the Ignatius River is a popular destination for travellers who wish to picnic by its banks, or take a dip after a long day of hiking. Many wild Pokémon can be found wandering around here, and most are rather friendly as they've become accustomed to seeing humans wandering along the shore.
Garland Basin: A large basin near Mt. Ceniza where many varieties of herbs grow. A large number of natural hot springs are found here, making it a popular tourist attraction. The effects of the herbs in the warm spring water can have various effects, some very soothing.
Lake Tyr: A freshwater lake situated roughly halfway between Mt. Pele and Mt. Fumi, Lake Tyr covers an area of about 2.4 square kilometres and is over 220 meters deep. The water is a beautiful, sapphire blue, and is always quite warm due to volcanic activity beneath the island. Many people are drawn here for the spectacular scenery, but also to take a refreshing dip after spending a long day trekking across the island. What most don't tend to realise is that Lake Tyr is sitting right on top of an active oceanic volcano.
Crystal Resort: A comfortable and modern resort built on the edge of Lake Tyr for the tourists who are now frequenting Cortoza.
Research Lab: A division of Volcanity Inc., this scientific team has set up equipment at several locations across the island in order to study the geological effects of past eruptions on the current environment, as well as to track any current seismic activity. Sometimes they can use some help, so if you offer your services you may be able to take on a job.
Mt. PeleFrom afar, this mountain appears to resemble a woman whom the Cortozans believe to be the Goddess of fire, lightning, dance, volcanoes, and violence. Pele was, and still is, both revered and feared by the native inhabitants of Cortoza as they firmly believe the only way to avoid utter destruction of their land is to pay homage to her. With Mt. Pele having been the first to erupt two hundred years ago, many believe their Goddess was unhappy with her subjects, and that she had exacted her punishment upon them for having ignored their faith in her. Those who survived the initial destruction two centuries ago were sure to pass on the story of Pele to their children so that her legend was sure to live on. Today, the descendants of Cortoza's survivors hold daily rituals and monthly festivals to keep their Goddess happy in the hope she'll never destroy their homes again.
Pele's Ruins: The ruins of a thousand year old temple built in Pele's honour. Descendants of Cortoza's survivors steer clear of these ruins as they believe they have been cursed by Pele herself, and have instead built another temple in which to worship their Goddess. The Ruins have become a popular tourist attraction for visitors to the island however, a fact which makes the natives rather uneasy.
Pele's Temple: Built by the descendants of Cortoza's survivors as a place of worship for their beloved Goddess, this pure white marble temple is a work of art. Etchings, paintings, and sculptures depict the Cortozan Goddess in all of her flaming beauty, and those who enter the temple are expected to leave an offering in order to keep Pele happy.
Pele's Shrine: Half-way up the mountainside is another monument built in Pele's honour, this sacred shrine's centrepiece none other than a sacrificial altar surrounded by flaming torches. Chanting can be heard at night, drifting across the island, but it's the blood-curdling screams that can be heard emanating from here under the light of a full moon that keep tourists and trainers away when the sun begins to set.
Pele's Cavern: About two-thirds of the way up the mountainside is an enormous cavern dedicated to Pele. Molten lava pits dot the floor, the humidity so intense that only the hardiest of fire types can withstand the extreme temperatures. Trainers will need plenty of water if they wish to enter as no human can stand the heat for more than a few minutes at a time. Cortozans believe that winning a battle here will impress their Goddess who will bestow them with good fortune after proving they are worthy of her faith, and will often challenge strong trainers to a battle.
Fire Pit: Believed to be the home of Pele, the crater's magma-filled centre is well protected. Cortozan natives are afraid that tourists and trainers will not show their deity the respect she deserves and will stop at nothing to ensure nobody reaches Mt. Pele's summit.
Mt. FumiThe largest and most volatile of Cortoza's volcano's, Mt. Fumi tends to strike most who see it with feelings of awe and fear. Towering over the other mountains, Mt. Fumi is an impressive sight, but is also home to some of the most dangerous Pokémon who tend to dwell higher up on the mountainside in order to avoid the sudden influx of trainers who are frequenting the island. If you plan on taking a hike up this mountain, you'll want a powerful team by your side.
Terraki Village: One of many villages destroyed by the eruption two hundred years ago. Recently, the descendants of those who once dwelt here have returned to lay claim to their ancestral land.
Fumi's Walk: A long and winding trail that twists around the volcano. If you think you have the stamina to make your way to Mt. Fumi's summit you can certainly give it a try, but beware, the trail is unstable and the Pokémon along here do not like intruders.
Open Plain: A wide plateau near the mountaintop. Many travellers like to picnic here and challenge each other to a friendly battle. The views are amazing, but sometimes wild Pokémon who don't like people trespassing upon their territory are prone to emerge from the caverns dotting the mountainside to attack and scare people off. Be prepared for more than a little sightseeing if you venture this far up the mountain.
Mt Fumi Peak: The hottest of all places, deadly fire Pokémon breach the edges of the volcano making the heat almost as intense as the lava inside. If you manage to make it to the top, bring a lot of water - you'll need it.
Volcanic Crater: Inside of Mt. Fumi is the volcano's crater. It is hot, steamy and full of lava. While the volcano has been dormant for almost one hundred years the island is occasionally racked with powerful tremors, an indication of the fact that this thing is preparing for another mind-blowing explosion. It is rumoured that immediately after one of these tremors, some of the strongest fire and lava Pokémon appear.
- Sub-Area:
- The Lava Pit: A battle arena suspended over the lava where Fire Pokémon battle each other in tournament-esque matches for a prize and the glory of being crowned the champion. Trainers with Fire Pokémon often find themselves here because of their Pokémon's lust for battle and eagerness to prove themselves against other fire types. Legend has it that the king of Fire Pokémon presents the prize and crowns each new champion personally...
Mt. CenizaAlways grey, Mt. Ceniza is constantly coated in a thin layer of ash. An active volcano, she doesn't appear to be on the verge of eruption - not any time soon, anyway - but her constant rumbling can be felt by those who travel near. This mountain has become a tourist attraction, particularly for those interested in collecting ash, though the tremors felt do tend to keep the more nervous travellers away.
Cinder Village: A small village at the base of Mt. Ceniza built around a murky hot spring. Its inhabitants believe the ash filled water will cure any ailment for human and Pokémon alike.
Caliente Trail: A path leading up the mountain that is always covered in ash. Not many Pokémon find the living conditions on Mt. Ceniza to be very pleasant, but those who do seem to enjoy their surroundings. Some are more friendly than others, so don't be too quick to befriend wild Pokémon seen along here or you may be in for more than you'd bargained for.
Granite Tunnel: A maze-like tunnel leading up through the inner mountain. Steps have been carved into the rocks so that people can make their way to several different locations of the mountainside in order to bypass the falling ash. A preferable choice for those who prefer to stay clean, but it can get quite warm in here so be sure to bring along a good supply of water. Falling rubble can pose a problem, however, during Mt. Ceniza's stronger tremors so you'll need your wits about you at all times.
Rest House: An old man living on the mountain is the only person to have returned to Cortoza decades before any other human dared to venture back to the island. He's a little strange after having lived so long on his own, but is a very friendly fellow indeed. He enjoys the company of trainers, and will open his home to anyone in need of food and a place to sleep. He makes remarkable glass sculptures from the ash he collects, and if you do him a favour you may just find yourself leaving with a unique souvenir.
Ceniza Summit: Definitely not the safest place to roam. The light stream of ash emitting from its crater is very hot upon emerging from the depths of the volcano, though it cools rapidly upon coming into contact with the air. If you're unfortunate enough to be wandering about here during one of Ceniza's 'bursts' of activity, you're going to need to take cover, and fast! The land up here is fairly barren, the trees long since dead, though the odd patches of hardy plant life scattered across the summit are a pleasant sight to behold. Most of the Pokémon who reside up here dwell in caves and aren't too friendly when approached, so if you do plan on travelling here you'll need to have the ability the think quickly and decisively when dangerous situations arise.
Mt. InfernusThe second largest of Cortoza's mountains, Mt. Infernus is now extinct. Many Pokémon have made their homes within the vast network of tunnels and caverns deep within the mountain, and aren't all that accustomed to seeing people. It's become the primary breeding ground for many of the rarer Pokémon who tend to shy away from humans, and due to the protective nature of the parent Pokémon, quite a hazardous area to traverse.
Waterfall: A large waterfall cascading down the side of Mt. Infernus and into the Ignatius River before flowing out to sea. Many tourists and trainers love to bask in the sun by its banks which are much more pleasant to visit than the uninviting Shale Beach surrounding the island.
Scenic Walk: A long path comprised of slopes and stairs leading up and around the mountainside. With Mt. Infernus being an extinct volcano and Cortoza's second tallest mountain, most tourists feel more comfortable sightseeing from here. The views are spectacular, and there are several campsites manned my Cortozan natives who will provide food and shelter for weary travellers.
Totem Village: A tribal village situated upon a mesa on the mountainside which is surrounded by totem poles depicting various Cortozan Gods. The villagers are extremely friendly and always happy to engage in friendly battles with trainers looking to prove themselves upon any of the cleverly designed battle arenas created by the villagers.
Mountain Peak: A sanctuary for wild Pokémon who live amidst the lush trees found upon the mountaintop. Very few trainers have the stamina to make it all the way up here, so the Pokémon who dwell in the area have thrived in this environment. Many freshwater pools dot the landscape, but beware of the fast flowing river that leads to the edge of the waterfall cascading into the river below as no safety rails have been built to keep curious trainers and Pokémon away from the long drop over the mountainside.
The Rock Pool: Deep, deep, deep, within the bowels of Mt. Infernus there is rumoured to be a secluded water-filled chamber where extremely rare and ancient Pokémon dwell. Some even say that Pokémon have mutated over the centuries to create new breeds, never before seen in the land of Fizzy Bubbles. This has never been confirmed or denied, as those who have stumbled across this chamber have never been able to defeat the Pokémon they've encountered, let alone capture them. When told to bring proof of their existence, those who have tried to return to the chamber have never been able to find it again. Who knows? If you're lucky, you may just stumble across it...

Bishop Thomas chats with kids during a parish visitHis Grace Bishop Thomas, Diocese of Charleston, Oakland, and the Mid-Atlantic, recently spoke with Fr. Chris Metropulos, executive director of Orthodox Christian Network (OCN). The interview is featured on OCN's flagship show, "Come Receive the Light," within the episode titled "Making Choices Concerning Your Children."
In the interview, Bishop Thomas described his experiences as a teacher in public, private, and homeschool settings, and offered his advice to parents on making educational choices for children. He noted that "we shop for everything—things that are of little consequence. This (choosing a school) is extremely important, so I would suggest that in any particiular educational situation parents do some investigation; talk to people who have participated, both parents and teachers to see what the philosophy and theology of the school is." His Grace also discussed the pros and cons of homeschooling, and encouraged parents to avoid "the temptation of isolation."

The following is the New Year's letter offered to the teens of the Antiochian Archdiocese by Fr. Joseph F. Purpura, the chairman of the Department of Youth and Parish Ministry. In it, he describes his hopes and prayers for the youth of the Archdiocese in this new season.
As we enter the year of our Lord 2013, a flood of thoughts flow through my mind concerning you the young people of this great archdiocese. For many years I have been blessed to lead the youth efforts across this North American Archdiocese. First as a Regional Spiritual Advisor from 1981-1985, then as the North American Council of SOYO Spiritual Advisor from 1985-1991 and then as Chairman of the Department of Youth and Parish Ministry from 1990 to present. In each of these thirty-five years of priesthood and youth work, I have been keenly aware of three things:
First, that our task is to pass the faith down to each of you.
Second, to instill in you a love for Christ and His Holy Orthodox Church and to enable you to live a righteous life in Jesus Christ.
Third, to raise generations of disciples and leaders for Christ's Holy Orthodox Church and these North American nations in which we reside.
With each passing year and with each successive generation of young persons placed before us, I continue to be amazed and filled with joy at just how blessed our archdiocese and Holy Orthodox Church here in North America is to have so many dedicated, loving, and Christ-centered young persons in our midst. So often the media is filled with all that is wrong in our society, especially among young people, yet all we need to do is look at you, the youth of this archdiocese, and know that God is present and working in you.
It is with extreme sadness that we inform you that our beloved brother in Christ, Father Polycarp Whitcomb, Pastor of St. Athanasius Church in Sacramento, California, fell asleep in the Lord on Friday, January 4, 2013. His Eminence Archbishop Joseph has asked the parishes to remember him in your prayers for the departed for the next 40 days and to hold a special Trisagion for his eternal life. The funeral arrangements will be announced once they are set. May God receive him in His Heavenly Kingdom and may his memory be eternal.
Des Plaines, IL – More than 60 parents, clergy and youth leaders attended a breakfast forum titled "How To Talk To Your Kids…and save your child from substance use/abuse" on Saturday, December 8 at St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church in Des Plaines, IL, a northwest suburb of Chicago. Sponsored by the Orthodox Christian Coalition for Healthy Youth (OCCHY), the forum hosted people from seven Orthodox jurisdictions representing fifteen parishes in the Greater Chicago area.
Following a prayer and welcome from OCCHY Director Fr. Nicholas Dahdal, and brief introduction to OCCHY by Project Coordinator Gordana Trbuhovich, the program began with a National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) video presentation, featuring Dr. Nora Volkow. Three dynamic speakers followed, beginning with Fr. Athanasios Papagiannis, LCSW, a licensed social worker and assistant priest at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Chicago. Father Athanasios stressed positive and spiritual relationships in his presentation, "You and Your Child." "The way you bend the young branch," Father stated, "is the direction in which the tree will grow."

(Photo by Reuters/Jamal Saidi)Baltimore, MD (IOCC) — The conflict that rages on in Syria has severely crippled the country's power plants as well as damaged major roads needed to transport heating fuel during the coldest time of year, while violence, sanctions and instability in the region have led to critical fuel shortages. As thousands of displaced families and elderly throughout Syria struggle to stay warm on nights that dip below freezing, International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) is responding with winter relief to more than 30,000 Syrian families.
Through your generous support and support from the ACT Alliance, IOCC in partnership with the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East (GOPA) distributed diesel stoves and electric heaters to several areas in Syria. Families living in areas with access to fuel but no power received diesel stoves, while families facing fuel shortages but still have electricity received electric heaters.

St. Vladimir's Seminary Press recently released Turning East: Contemporary Philosophers and the Ancient Christian Faith, a compilation of autobiographical essays written by philosophers who have become Orthodox Christians. The book's editor, Rico Vitz, is an Antiochian Orthodox Christian who attends St. Barnabas Orthodox Church in Costa Mesa, California. He is also the Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Azusa Pacific University and has authored Reforming the Art of Living: Nature, Virtue, and Religion in Descartes's Epistemology as well as various articles and chapters in other books of philosophy.
Several of the contributors in Turning East, including Richard Swinburne (Oxford) and Tristram Engelhardt (Rice University), are internationally recognized scholars in their respective fields of philosophy of religion and bioethics. Although Turning East is written in an academic tone, it is still accessible to almost any reader and provides fascinating insight, not only into the Church itself, but into the lives of interesting people.
A You Tube video introduces author Vitz as well as the book.

Dear Teens of the Antiochian Archdiocese,
Please keep in your prayers all of the children and adults killed this past Friday in Newtown, Connecticut.
There are no words to describe the why of these senseless killing of innocent children and adults.
Our hope, trust, and comfort is found in God the Father who so loved us that He sent His own Son to become one of us, to die on the Cross, and to rise from the dead, making a way to the Kingdom for us so that we might have life in abundance.
May the approaching Nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ bring you comfort and peace as we contemplate the tremendous and unending love of God for each of us. May His love and His presence bring you great comfort in the coming weeks and year.
Yours in Christ,
V. Rev. Dr. Joseph F Purpura

Listen to "Who is the New Patriarch of Antioch?"
A December 19, 2012 report on the Ancient Faith Radio (AFR) podcast, "Ancient Faith Presents," offered insights into the background, qualifications, and personality of Patriarch-elect John X. As reported on Antiochian.org, His Eminence the Metropolitan Archbishop of Western and Central Europe was elected Patriarch of the Great City-of-God Antioch and all the East on December 17, 2012, during a special session held at the Balamand Patriarchal Monastery of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos.
In this exclusive AFR report, John Maddex interviewed two people who have longstanding ties with the newly elected Patriarch. The Very Rev. Joseph Allen, chairman of Theological and Pastoral Education at the Antiochian House of Studies, noted that he spent a number of hours with Patriarch-elect John when he visited the United States a few years ago and spoke at the Clergy Symposium at Antiochian Village. Father Joseph noted that Patriarch-elect John X will bring much to his new role, as one who is very well educated, possessing excellent English skills, liturgically talented, but also, a compassionate hierarch who has a heart for God and people. "He is strict for himself but forgiving in dealing with others—and he has a good sense of humor," said Fr. Joseph. "His election is a blessing to Antioch."
For twenty-five years, the Orthodox ministry Project Mexico has been harnassing the energy of young people by sponsoring home building projects for Mexico's poor. Hundreds of needy families have moved into homes constructed for them with the help of nearly 10,000 volunteers. Sponsored by parishes from around the country including many from the Antiochian Archdiocese, and by Orthodox organizations such as the Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF), group building weeks for 2013 are already filling up. (Sign up for a summer home building week.)
There are two types of homebuilding groups hosted by Project Mexico each summer: small groups, and Orthodox Basic Training (OBT) groups. During the weeks dedicated to small group participation, teams from one, two, or three parishes construct a single home for a needy family, spend the afternoons interacting with the boys of St. Innocent's, and learn about the local culture through a visit to Rosarito. During Basic Training weeks, Project Mexico hosts larger groups who construct between four to seven homes in one week. Each evening, volunteers listen to inspiration speakers, and on Sunday builders enjoy a day of fellowship and fun at St. Innocent's.
Bishop Anthony at groundbreaking ceremony for St. George, INFollow the progress on the Construction Updates blog
On Saturday, August 25, 2012, Fr. Nabil Hanna and about 350 parishioners and friends of St. George Orthodox Church, Indianapolis, joined together for the service, "Founding a New Church," and the subsequent groundbreaking ceremony. Presided over by His Grace Bishop Anthony, the service took place on the new property where the parish will relocate once the new building is completed, in the neighboring community of Fishers, Indiana.
On September 19, construction commenced as the big diesel engines fired up in the earth moving machines. Construction continued despite the rain and the foundations were poured and progress was made, all under the able supervision of the construction manager, Mr. David Mouck. Forms for the lower level walls were up and filled with concrete.
On Saturday, November 17, the lower level slab was blessed and the Cross, icons, photos, prayers and mementos were placed into the foundation, under where the altar will be, before the workers poured the concrete for the floor. Next the bell tower was poured. Completion is expected by the summer of 2013.
The Orthodox Christian Translation Society (OCTS) has announced the publication of their first book, Place Your Hope in the Lord: The Poetic Spiritual Life of Father Lazar. The title, which brings forward the spiritual teachings of the former abbot of the famous Ostrog Monastery in Montenegro (a pilgrimage destination for thousands from around the world), was originally published in the Serbian language.
The OCTS website explains that their organization "exists to bridge the gap between cultures and languages through the translation of Orthodox texts and to help translators share their unique skills with the Orthodox world. Unlike other publishers and bookstores, we are a non-profit organization committed to the entire process of creating high quality Orthodox translations....We accept proposals from skilled translators, and then select projects to support. Once a project is chosen, OCTS commits to support that project financially from beginning to end."
That project support, continues OCTS, can include the translation of a work, any necessary editing, and then the book's subsequent publication with its marketing and distribution aspects. Translators are offered financial compensation for their labors as best befits the project, and the circumstances of the translator.
A board of directors and an advisory board guide the process for OCTS. Antiochian bishop His Grace Bishop Basil of the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America serves on the advisory board, while several of the directors are active members of Antiochian parishes. Read about the OCTS team here.

On December 10, 2012, the Cedar Rapids Gazette reported that since mid-November, "piece by piece," Soleiman Shalhoub has been installing a stone iconostasis at St. George Orthodox Church. Last January, he began the project with the aid of fifteen employees, sketching out his designs and then carefully carving the Syrian stone quarried from mountains in the Holy Land.
"There's no one else who does this kind of work," Shalhoub said, noting that his technique has been passed down through his family for generations. Six tons of stone traveled by ship to New York in 1,700 pieces, arriving at about the same time as Hurricane Sandy made landfall. It was then transported via truck and train to Cedar Rapids.
Members of St. George's community have assisted with the project, providing meals and labor. The parish will celebrate with an open house in the spring once the icons are mounted in the completed stone iconostasis. "The finished piece, which will include red oak doors also designed by Shalhoub, will be unlike any other piece of art in Iowa," noted the Gazette.
The Treehouse in Wichita, Kansas was created to fill a unique niche, helping economically challenged moms and children with basic necessities and programs. As an Orthodox Christian-based, not-for-profit organization, the Treehouse offers compassionate physical and emotional support, and positive Christian relationships with other moms. Over the years, vital support for the ministry has been provided by the Antiochian Orthodox community in the greater Wichita area, from His Grace Bishop Basil, the Very Rev. Paul O'Callaghan, the people of St. George Orthodox Christian Cathedral, and many other Orthodox Christians both clergy and lay. It is also one of the many outreach efforts supported by the Order of St. Ignatius.
The Treehouse provides diapers and formula, parenting education, spiritual support and an inexpensive thrift store with books, toys and clothes up to kindergarten size. Women are referred to the ministry by other partner organizations in the Wichita area, and from their first encounter with Treehouse staff, experience support and encouragement. Groups dedicated to the topic of parenting, and one-on-one mentoring relationships, help women with limited resources become capable, nurturing mothers, thus aiding both mother and child.

Europeproxy.eu alternatives and sites similar to Europeproxy.eu (websites like Europeproxy.eu) are listed here. So, if you are searching for other proxy sites like Europeproxy.eu, you are in the right place. They are not Europeproxy.eu best similarity or alternatives but also the most popular and highly regarded proxy websites ever on the internet. Whether you are in search of Europeproxy.eu best options, similar sites or alternatives, you are highly welcome.
A good VPN, or any other type of proxy, provides a number of more benefits. Regardless of whether you make use of a VPN, which utilizes a protocol like PPTP to encapsulate your packets securely, an SSL proxy, a Socks proxy, or possibly a simple web gateway (which does not actually provide you with any encryption) each one has a number of features that resemble. The fundamental principle is usually that the server is relaying those packets for you, and stripping the originating address. Rather than your personal IP address, they only see the proxy server's IP. Which also means if you connect while using previous example, instead of thinking you are in Seattle, every site you connected to will think you might be sitting right here inside the Dallas corporate office.
Below Are The Best Casino & Betting Alternatives:
Of course, people use proxies for other reasons as well. For instance, if you are trying to access region-restricted content. For example, someone in Canada trying to see Hulu content won't be able to, because Hulu restricts videos to U.S. users only. But if they connect to a U.S. based proxy first, they will bypass that restriction. Exactly the same thing applies if you reside in the U.S. and want to see BBC content through their iPlayer. You would need to connect with a UK proxy to do it.
However, there are some things you need to keep in mind when using proxies. First, remember that while a proxy server will provide you with security and anonymity, the proxy itself has to decode your traffic to send it through. This means it can see everything you're doing, unless you use SSL connections. So you need to trust it. A lot of people use TOR, which is a free anonymity network run by volunteers, or some go to underground channels to get so-called "private" proxies, but the problem is you never know if you can trust those servers. It may end up being worse than not using a proxy at all.
Popular commercial services base their business on providing this service, so personally we have more faith in the lists of proxy sites here. Don't think of using them for criminal acts however, since they do state clearly that they cooperate with law enforcement if you go over the board. Because again, the proxy server is the one party that knows what your real IP address is so it will be easier to g trace your location.
Also, using some proxies websites will typically slow your connection down, since you're basically transferring all your data to another location around the world before it goes out to the Internet. As you attempt to connect to various proxy servers, you may find very big differences in speed, so it's a good idea to try them out. Whether you want security, anonymity, or both, proxies provide a good way to surf the net.
Just don't worry, our team of experts have searched and researched the whole world wide web to help you find the best and most reliable and trusted proxy sites like Europeproxy.eu and were able to discover a very good number of them. They are the only Europeproxy.eu alternatives highly regarded online and have been mentioned on popular websites and TV stations such as CNN, BBC, Forbes site etc. So, they are not just proxy sites but the biggest in the industry.

Getting started as a freelance cartographer
Posted 18 December 2004 - 11:01 PM
My best advice is to start freelancing part-time until you have a client base. It will probably take some time to get a steady base of clients, and you will probably find it difficult to support yourself on the early trickle of projects. Of course you need to be careful because some employers don't take kindly to side work, especially if it is in a similar industry. The other approach is to start a freelance business based on a large contract that can support you, but make sure you think about what happens when that job is finished.
Start with a professional looking website showing samples of your work. If you don't feel you are capable of doing a good job on your own, get a designer friend to help you out or even hire a struggling freelance web designer. Potential clients WILL make a snap judgment of your skills based on the look of your site, even though your web skills have nothing to do with your cartographic skills.
Promotion is the next step. A simple place to start is Google's AdWord program. For a set daily budget you can create simple ads that will be shown when people search for your selected keywords.
Make a list of companies that use the kinds of maps you want to make (print, web, artsy, etc.). Magazines, newspapers, book publishers, real-estate agencies, real-estate developers, and communication companies are just some of the kinds of companies that need maps.
Think about creating a printed promotional piece (the more professional looking the better) and send this brochure or sample sheet to the companies on your list. Try to address it to the Design Director or similar position. You can even call the companies and often find out their name.
If you are very new to cartography, a good way to start is to contact established cartographers and see if they need any freelance help. This is a great way to build a portfolio and make contacts.
One of the most difficult aspects is figuring out what to charge. You can go two ways with pricing: hourly or flat rate.
If you go with an hourly rate then you can better control getting paid for the actual work done. However clients can sometimes be resistant to open-ended hourly contracts. They will probably want an estimate and possibly a "not-to-exceed" price.
A flat rate appeals to clients because they know exactly what they will be paying. You have to be very careful to put the exact details of the project deliverables in writing before starting any work so both you and the client agree on what they are getting for the price. Flat rates can be tricky until you have some experience figuring out how long it will take to produce a specific map.
One way to approach flat rate pricing and base the price on how much a project is worth to you rather than based on estimated hours. For instance, look at the client's project request and figure out at what price point it would not be worth the effort. Some small projects may not take a lot of production time, but the overhead of client management, research, and data acquisition make it not worth the effort except at a higher rate. You will have to set that price point for yourself.
Also, don't sell yourself short by think that a client won't pay enough. If your price is too high for the client, don't just cut the rate. Come up with a different solution that is less costly. Don't give them the same amount of work for less money. Remember too, your experience level definitely should be a factor. Gaining experience and building your portfolio when you are starting out is worth more than money sometimes.
No matter which method of pricing you choose, it absolutely necessary to put the project specs and costs in writing and get the clients signature that way there is much less room for disputes later on. Create a "Statement of Work" that outlines the form and size and number of maps, what data will be shown (and if there are any data licensing fees), the project schedule, how many iterations of the initial design, and the project costs and payment terms.
In the end you should enjoy what your are doing, and don't get discouraged if it takes a while to get some momentum going.

1: You can cut cost by using open source software.
-OpenOffice is a great replacement for Microsoft Office, and can be downloaded for free from openoffice.org. It's almost 100% compatible to MS Office in terms of opening files. Version 2 (coming soon) even has a database component, which is the only thing v1 lacks.
- The Gimp is a good alternative for Photoshop. One minor gripe though: it won't handle GeoTiff's nicely. Its interface takes some getting used to, but there's an add-on available that can make it look like Photoshop. You can get The Gimp from
- Not open source, but very cheap, are Manifold and Globalmapper. Both are in the $200 area and can do pretty much the same as ArcGIS or MapInfo.
2: It pays to keep an eye on forums like Cartotalk. Not necessarily to score an assignment, but it's always good to get your name out there, get in touch with people, find out what they want and so on. It's also a good idea to subscribe to a few magazines, either print or online.
3: Be confident in yourself and the products you deliver. This will make your clients feel confident in you.
4: When answering a request for a price-quote, try to get as much style-related information as possible. The customer has a certain mental image of the map they want. The key here is to come up with something that's as close as possible to this image.
5: Check your legal requirements and do so before actually starting your business (and not, like me, after you've done so). Things to keep in mind are taxes (sales tax, income tax), insurance and so on. Some important insurances:
- damages (any damage that you might do to clients)
- legal support
- health!! (what happens if you get ill and are not able to work for a month?)
6: Prioritize. I've found that I've often had to seriously juggle time in order to please all my clients (and retain my sanity in the process). There will always be some insecurity though.
7: Debt collection... If you have only a small number of clients, and one of them doesn't pay on time, you've got a problem on your hands. On one hand you don't want risk losing that client, but on the other hand you need to pay your bills as well. It's a difficult decision to make, and I would recommend that you are very very careful with this.
8: Save money whenever you can. Just in case.
That's about all I can think of at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I love being self-employed, but it's stressful sometimes. Don't let this discourage anybody though.

Also, consider consolidation as opposed to making a go of it on your own. My firm operated "on an island" for the first 2-3 years of its existence...developing only vector-based work for our clients. Prospective clients either loved our style/look or didn't care for our style/look. Over the next few years, we decided that the best method for growing our business was to offer multiple looks/styles/solutions within the same core product offerings. We found other small, independent design shops who offered a nice, different look to our own to join our team...effectively serving as a sort of "artist's rep" for their services, with their designers joining our staff. The net result has been an explosion of new clients and business over the past two years, which makes me want to try and consolidate within the industry even more!
There is no "best" blueprint to go about carving out a living for oneself designing maps. Rather we each have to decide what we're really good at and what we enjoy doing, then work our tail's off to try and become one of the best in our particular niche of map design! Starting a small, independent shop was incredibly time-consuming and stressful for me. Had it not been for a few large, early clients taking a chance on a small firm with a "thin" portfolio, we never would have survived without merging with another larger firm! Still, I wouldn't go back and change a single thing, as we emerged after 3+ years of struggles as a company that should hopefully be around for the long-term. That's tremendous, as it means I get to keep making maps for a living....instead of only as a "moonlighting" gig....
Good luck, everybody!

I guess you can't just sit around and wait for something to fall into you lap.
I wonder how successful SEO really is for directing traffic and attracting work? My impression is that there is a derth of hungry freelance cartographers and not a lot of work to go around.

Here's a tool that can help you figure out what keywords are being used by people searching for cartographic work. I believe the results are based on Google, Yahoo, MSN, PPC advertising results.:Overture.com
Click on the "keyword selector" tool and enter a search term in the blank field. This will tell you how many times the phrase (and related phrases) were searched during the previous month or so...

The biggest surprise most freelancers face is the reality that you spend more time chasing down potential clients, and doing the whole backend paperwork thing, than actually making maps. It really makes a huge difference if you can get at least one 'bread and butter' client. Often that client is your existing employer.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a website for freelance cartographers to find and bid on work?

Actually, if CartoTalk continues to build upon the momentum it has generating, there is NO reason why we couldn't also solicit RFPs and project leads for members to bid on in a type of "clearinghouse" of listings at cartotalk.com......
I've been working on/around this issue for 6+ years. Most of the mapping RFPs I come across are somewhat "closed" processes and are only shared via word-of-mouth referrals and/or very localized announcements (local newspapers, listservs, etc.) I do come across some RFPs in university system web sites, government sites and/or general sites that market the services of hundreds/thousands of freelance graphic designers and illustrators as well. 99% of the artists/illustrators do not list mapping as a service, however, so not many people tend to post RFPs in those types of online services.
The best thing I think we can do is try to "organize" somewhat as an industry....developing a strong rapport and relationships with one another in places such as CartoTalk, then be open/honest enough to clue one another in on potential job leads that happen to come up. I've been doing this in a "micro" sense....taking seven independent freelancers (myself included) and organizing us under one collective umbrella, soon to be known as "mapformation". The seven of us working together has been MUCH more strong/powerful then when we were marketing our services independently. I'm sure all of us have at least a touch of artist's/designer's "ego"....wanting things done our way, in our style, using our preferred software, with our rules. I know I was guilty of that as well , as I started my own firm back in 2000 after I got tired of working under what I considered to be an inferior business model. However, I got over that in 2002, and it's been "all system's go" for our business ever since.
Also, I think clearly defining each of our own niches and areas of expertise is critical to establishing a very healthy flow of leads and information as well. Some of us are going to be competing directly on certain types of projects. However, I think that many more of us will see how we compliment one another (rather than compete), and the more we talk and explore potential collaboration, the better we will all be in the end.
FWIW, I encourage many of our potential clients to visit: http://www.tonnhaus.com/designcart.htm as they are considering our firm for their projects. We might actually lose a job or two because of it, but I know that the friendly relationships we have established with many of the firms listed have resulted in at least that much work being referred back to us!
My $0.02. Hope that helps....

Since I started my business I have striven to build collaborative relationships with other related firms and have had many false starts and some small successes, but I still don't even have a really good referral list for when a client needs something that I can't provide - or that someone else could provide better or more cost effectively.
Lately, it has been on my list to put some more research into a referral list, but I'm afraid that I still haven't acted on it. I thought, for example, that cartotalk members might fill in a 'capabilities chart' or some such.
I often suggest that my client's contact a couple of folks on the NACIS list before hiring me - it helps to build trust and to educate my clients. Most of the time, I end up with the work because I have established that rapport with the client. Just yesterday, I suggested a potential client look at Cartotalk to see if he could find some other cartographers who might better serve him. What I would like to be able to do, however, is send a client to a specific firm because I know their capabilities and trust that they will do great work and be great to work with - this would ideally include, photographers/artists/illustrators/writers/graphic designers/printers... etc..
BTW, I wonder how one gets on Derek's list? - I for one, would like to be added - that is, of course, if Derek (and co.) feel that I belong there. I am putting it on my list to add a similar list to my web site.

You may not have noticed that Nick recently added a Resources section on the site where you can put a link to your company and where other companies are listed.
I think this is a good step in that direction and it may be a place where you can refer clients to.
Posted 21 December 2005 - 02:31 PM
Ask and ye shall receive! I'll make sure to add a link to your site to our "industry" lists as soon as our new web site is launched in the coming weeks.
I also REALLY like to hear that you are referring people to potential competitors before making a final decision to hire you. I do the same thing....and find that practice usually helps to "close the deal" with prospective clients. They realize that if you are confident enough to share names and information of other firms they might hire, you MUST be both good and affordable enough to secure their contract. It is that type of counter-intuitive practice that I love to incorporate into our own marketing efforts.
I am also glad to hear that you work to help educate your prospective clients during the process of talking/working with you! Actually, one of the best parts of our new web site launch will be an educational component that we are dubbing "tonnhaus university". Basically, we will be creating a how-to guide for developing maps and then making the most of using them post-design. Some people have looked at me and thought that type of practice is financial suicide...giving away some of the "secrets" of our firm for the whole world to see! I, on the other hand, see it as a golden marketing opportunity to help cement ourselves as "experts" in the minds of prospective clients within our particular target markets.
Over the last 2+ years, our goal as a firm has honestly been to become "THE" firm in North America related to campus mapping...not simply one of a sea of alternatives out there for people to choose from. If I am on a listserv or a discussion board and someone asks "Does anyone out there know who I could contact to design a vector/raster/hand-rendered map of my campus?!", I consider it to be a failure on my part if we aren't one of the first 2-3 names mentioned by listserv members out there.
We are all (hopefully) stronger together than we are apart! It is a terrible analogy, but I always think of the movie "The Godfather" when it comes to this type of business strategy. We all could have our own small, independent outfits...all struggling to survive while driving each other's prices and margins down to nothing through a much greater quantity of repetitive competition! However, we could also consider working together, each defining our own "territory" (expertise) and working collaboratively as a larger unit to achieve efficiencies of scale....making our marketing dollars and various business expenditures stretch MUCH farther than they could on their own. That is what each of our seven designers on-staff has done over the past 3-4 years, and it has resulted in outstanding growth in our collective firm. I'm not talking about any form of "collusion" or anything shady. Rather, I'm talking about the power that comes with developing a "one stop shop" in the minds of prospective clients of our services.
A friend and former professor of mine was talking to me back when I was just getting started as an independent, and he basically told me "eat or be eaten." What he meant was that for me to remain as a one-person freelance cartography shop would always be a struggle and/or a very inefficient use of financial resources. He basically told me that in order to grow and thrive as a firm, I would either need to:
1. Position myself as a potential acquisition or takeover target for a larger firm, or
2. Find other designers to join me and grow our own company via merger/acquisition/partnership.
I chose the latter (though if somebody came up to me and made me an offer I couldn't refuse, I'd happily go back to being a designer on somebody else's team...IF I could bring my existing designers with me). However, either way, that was the best advice on being a small business owner that I've ever received.
If people are doing mapping/cartography as a "hobby job", it's not as big of a deal. If you're like me though, and this is the sole source of income for my family of four, I can't afford to be inefficient and/or have people undercut our work to the point of having no profit margins left to pay the bills.
Anyway, that's my $1.25! Sorry for the LONG post.

There is a site for that specifically Matthew ... http://www.freelancer.com/ does have some cartography/maps contracts that you can search for and find the odd piece of work, but I need to digress to the more prominent members of CartoTalk when they say that getting the contracts is more a leg work and research matter then a specified site that you become dependent upon, but then again what do I know I am such a new member to the cartographic community and I am having a lot of the problems that a new developer has, like finding the contracts.

I have been on this site for 6 months now, and have only seen about 8-10 Cartography jobs. There was no Cartography/Maps category at all until I requested one. I've put bids in on a few jobs but have yet to earn a bean from it. You will find that you are competing globally, and there always seems to be someone willing to do the work for a goat, or a bag of rice.
Also the practicalities of using the site need to be considered. For example all payments go through www.freelancer.com, and it may take a while for them to release the funds to the supplier, after taking a 10% cut. All communications between supplier/employer should go through the site too - communicate directly and they get stroppy, as it cuts them out of the loop.
Worth a look, but read through all the terms and understand how it operates before registering.

I'm single and don't know if I could ever get married after sleeping with so many married men — more than I can remember. It doesn't exactly give me faith in marriage.
I call myself a "freelance escort." I'm 28, but am told often that I look at least five years younger. I have the kind of tiny but curvy body that drives men wild, with auburn hair and almond-shaped eyes.
The first time or two, I looked at their wedding rings the whole time and they always noticed and then got nervous, as if my guilt was making them feel guilty. So I decided not to look at their hands.
They want to talk a lot more than you think. They want to vent about their kids' private schools, their bosses, their bonus talks, their friend beating them at squash. I didn't even know what the hell squash was at the time. Talking, talking, talking, as if their lives were harder than mine and I wasn't the one there to have sex with them for money. I started feeling resentful of them.
I got into it when I first moved to New York and desperately needed money to survive. Sam, who ran the first escort service I was with, told me when we met that some guys pay $2,000 an hour. I thought he was exaggerating, but I decided to try it. My stomach churned so much before I got picked up the first night that I was constantly going to the bathroom.
"How can I be sexy like this?" I thought.
The driver picked me up in Manhattan, far away from where I lived, and we went to an apartment in Midtown. The guy there said he was an "investor" and offered me champagne right away. He said he had seen a lot of girls but wanted me to be his "special" girl, and that he liked me a lot. We spent two hours together and I got $1,000 instead of the $3,000 I had been promised. I asked Sam why I only got $1,000, and he said it was the cut I got for jobs until I proved that I could hold onto clients.
I was pissed, but also elated going home with ten $100 bills in my bag. I started to fantasize about all the things I could buy myself, getting my own apartment in Manhattan. I worked three nights a week, then five, then almost every night. I actually started getting a rush out of it — these Wall Street men falling all over themselves, paying all this money for just a little bit of my time.
But after a few months it became exhausting. They have big egos and are big babies. If I made any sign that they weren't the best lover, or that their dick wasn't the biggest dick I'd ever seen, they started asking all these questions and putting me down like: "Oh, well you've just seen more cock than a normal, nice girl would."
No, actually, you're really small and you're bad in bed.
One guy, who said he was a bigwig at a global investment bank, came in his pants when I started undoing his belt. It was so awkward. He had been talking up how good he was in bed in the cab ride to the hotel from dinner, and when that happened, he freaked out. "That never happens! You must have done something to me," he said. Like it's never their fault.
Some, though, were animals in bed. It's like they have all this testosterone and power and it is somehow really hot with the right person. And some are really handsome and well-dressed. There have been a few where I've actually been jealous of their wives, even though they're there sleeping with me. It's a weird feeling. It's easier with the ugly or arrogant ones.
Having a cut of my money going to Sam and his crew, however, started getting to me, especially because clients started asking me to book appointments outside of the agency, which was forbidden. I told Sam I was quitting and he accused me of stealing clients.
I was not going to let him push me. I left, but had to handle months of angry texts, emails and phone calls. I finally had to change my number, though that was how I got in touch with many clients so I was pissed.
With Sam gone, I had to figure out a way to keep clients and to get new ones — which was relatively easy. I started looking online and found sugar daddy dating sites in a Google search.
I thought this could be a way to meet men who want something long-term. At first, there were a few possibilities. One guy who was in private equity gave me $5,000 a month for four months, but then he disappeared. These men, it's like they die one day. They write you all the time and want to see you a lot, but I now know it's only a matter of time before they die out. I look at it like that because it makes it easier to swallow that this person just drops you. I can't trust any of them. They're all liars. Some nicer or cuter than others, but all liars.
As told to Alex Belanger.

Walker had fun with action stunts
Late star Paul Walker told how much he enjoyed doing death-defying movie stunts in the last interview before he died.
The Fast And Furious star played an undercover policeman in French-Canadian crime drama Brick Mansions, his last completed role before his death in a car crash last November.
In his last interview, he talked about his love for doing the stunts, saying: "The big part of the reason I wanted to do this movie was I get to go play! I get to go and face physical challenges. I get to go race off rooftops, race cars. You know, do fun guy stuff.
"We're running rooftops getting shot at but the whole time, we're laughing at death. I mean, people are shooting at us and we're running back towards guys with guns, it's pretty over the top. This movie doesn't take itself serious so we can't take ours seriously in it but at the same time we wanted it to look cool. We wanted it to have a fun feel about it."
Paul and his friend Roger Rodas were killed on November 30 when the car they were in crashed in California.
The actor, who shared the screen alongside rapper RZA and parkour star David Belle, said in his final interview that the film was very different from his role as Brian O'Conner in the Fast And Furious movies.
"You come in on this one and it's scaled back but it's part of the challenge coming in, saying, 'OK, look how are we going to make this stand out?'" he explained.
"The technical challenge is figuring how to make it work and trying to think of better ways to sell things and make it funny while at the same time making it visually dynamic."
:: Brick Mansions is out on DVD and Blu-ray on September 8.
