[Goanet] The Da Vinci Code - Cardinal urges legal action against Da Vinci Code
Forwarding following msg recd from the Cardinal Francis Arinze, a Nigerian who was considered a candidate for pope last year. In the novel The Da Vinci Code the author makes a mention that Jesus Christ married Mary Magdelene and their decendedants are still alive. Please read the following. Cardinal urges legal action against Da Vinci Code Sun May 7, 2006 10:13 AM ET By Philip Pullella VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - In the latest Vatican broadside against The Da Vinci Code, a leading cardinal says Christians should respond to the book and film with legal action because both offend Christ and the Church he founded. Cardinal Francis Arinze, a Nigerian who was considered a candidate for pope last year, made his strong comments in a documentary called The Da Vinci Code-A Masterful Deception. Arinze's appeal came some 10 days after another Vatican cardinal called for a boycott of the film. Both cardinals asserted that other religions would never stand for offences against their beliefs and that Christians should get tough. Christians must not just sit back and say it is enough for us to forgive and to forget, Arinze said in the documentary made by Rome film maker Mario Biasetti for Rome Reports, a Catholic film agency specializing in religious affairs. Sometimes it is our duty to do something practical. So it is not I who will tell all Christians what to do but some know legal means which can be taken in order to get the other person to respect the rights of others, Arinze said. This is one of the fundamental human rights: that we should be respected, our religious beliefs respected, and our founder Jesus Christ respected, he said, without elaborating on what legal means he had in mind. A transcript of the documentary, due to be screened in Rome later this month just before the release of the film version of the best-selling book at the Cannes Film Festival, was made available to Reuters. The book, written by Dan Brown, has sold more than 40 million copies. The novel is an international murder mystery centered on attempts to uncover a secret about the life of Christ that a clandestine society has tried to protect for centuries. The central tenet of the book is that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and had children. BLASPHEMY Those who blaspheme Christ and get away with it are exploiting the Christian readiness to forgive and to love even those who insult us. There are some other religions which if you insult their founder they will not be just talking. They will make it painfully clear to you, Arinze said. This appeared to be a reference to protests by Muslims around the world over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad. Last month, another broadside against The Da Vinci Code was launched by Archbishop Angelo Amato, the number two official in the Vatican doctrinal office which was headed by Pope Benedict until his election last year. Amato urged a boycott of the film and Arinze, like his fellow cardinal, also blasted the credibility of the book. 'The Da Vinci Code' presents (Christianity) wrongly ... any film produced on the basis of that book is already in error from the word go, no matter how interesting it might appear, Arinze said. Catholic group Opus Dei has told Sony Pictures that putting a disclaimer on the movie stressing it is a work of fiction would be a welcome show of respect toward the Church. In the novel and film, Opus Dei is characterized as the latest in a series of secretive groups that worked over the centuries to obscure truths about Jesus Christ. Opus Dei is a controversial conservative Church group whose members are mostly non-clerics and are urged to seek holiness in their everyday professional jobs and lives. It has rejected criticisms that it is secretive and elitist. The movie, which is being released by Sony Pictures division Columbia Pictures, stars Tom Hanks. Sony Pictures is the media wing of Japanese electronics giant Sony Corp. Welcome to Kevin's World [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Do not post admin requests to the list. Goanet mailing list (Goanet@goanet.org)
[Goanet] Salcettes toddy bear keeps Goas feni s pirit tapping
Salcettes toddy bear keeps Goas feni spirit tapping Feni Fransicso is the maker and preserver of Goas best known ambassador of goodwill and friendship-feni. At sixty-five, the Tarzan from Salcette swings from palm to palm to pluck coconuts and tap toddy to make feni. This is a first of a new series, Keepers Of The Past, profiling Goans who till today, nurture and preserve those little slices and nuggets of Goa that are fast diminishing, Zena Costa, meets the artist who knows his feni like the back of his palmHanv zaite maad chodla hanven zaite paus podoilliant says Francisco Rodrigues or Feni Francisco as he is to feni guzzling Saashtikaars, belying his 65 years one observes him nimbly scramble and descend swinging palms. Years, in fact are rather inapt to mark the passage of characters like Francisco who are timeless custodians of Goas prized heritage. His words translated from Konkani I have climbed many a palm weathered many a monsoon are germane to the arduous journey of this man from Per-Seraulim, Colva. Orphaned at age 6, Francisco lived with his uncle, and worked as caregiver cum playmate to the kids of the local Bhatkar by the time he was 11 he had moved on to tending cattle, tapping toddy and plucking coconuts for Rs.15 a month. For the hardy lad, both marriage and enterprise happened at 20. Whilst he continued to pluck coconuts for steady income, (with the backing of his wife whom he describes as God sent and a great mother to their three children), he hired few palms from the Bhatkar and put years of toddy tapping to fine use to brew feni and vinegar. What started off as Devachem besanv asliar zatlem (God willing, it will work) more than forty years down the line, is a success story accepted with touching humility and modesty. It is to Feni Francisco that connoisseurs and regulars of the hardy brew travel from all over Goa. Some clients go back a good 30 years or so and extend to Goas top politicians, tiatr artistes and cross borders to Bollywoods Anthony Gonsalveses. Such is the demand, that off- season (monsoons) Francisco sells only one bottle per person. It wouldnt be fair to persons driving all the way from Bardez to go empty handed. He says. Otherwise, a client may buy upto 10 bottles each. Franciscos routine today is the same it was at 20. Up at 5 am, he ascends palms to hang the Budkulo (earthen pot) to collect toddy. Its coconut plucking until noon (a brief Kanji-break at 11am). Back on the palms by 1 pm to descend with a pot of toddy and heads for his tiny brewery adjoining his humble home. Watching him at work is a lesson in minutiae and intricacies of the art of brewing feni. Ask him if factories manufacturing Feni are selling authentic stuff, he slaps the palm he was leaning against, as if it had just insulted his grandmother but calms down to rue the fact that spurious stuff sold by factories at cheap rates, has traditional brewers shut shop. Some often complain my price is high, but if a man knows Feni from what passes off as feni, he can tell by taking a small sip the true Feni drinker can tell from smell knows that many a laborious day has gone into the making. I dont advertise or force anyone to buy he says. Francisco gets bit emotional as he tells Hya soryaan Goemchem nanv soglia sounsarak gazoilam(this spirit has sung the Goan melody to the world) and adds I would rather that God takes me away, than keeps me alive to make and sell something else as Coconut Feni. Interestingly, the proud keeper of Goas coconut Feni is a teetotaler. How does he test the stuff? God gifted me with this art I can tell by looking by just the first whiff I feel lucky to be able to keep alive something precious to Goa.Welcome to Kevin's World [EMAIL PROTECTED]Click to join my Group From_Goa_with_Love Jiyo cricket on Yahoo!

Try to drink 2 liters of water or more per day. The ten day water fast has become a recommended number of days. Ten days on water will cause the same weight loss as 30 days on juice. But water fasting is far more difficult, especially if you have a fast metabolism. Water fasting cleanses the body aggressively removing toxins rapidly. Water fasting can be more beneficial than juice fasting in combating more persistent forms of cancer, cleansing the tissues more aggressively. Water fasting demands mental preparation, the less pressure and responsibility you have during a water fast the better. Think of it a holiday away form the normal patterns of living. Some recommend that the week before your fast, you drink fresh juices and eat mostly raw fruits and vegetables to cleanse the body so that the detoxification during water fasting will be less aggressive. Water fasting should always include two of three days of juice fasting before and after the water fast. This alternating between juice and water fasting is the most effective method of achieving a full cleansing through fasting.

[Goanet] Seven Steps to Healthy Anger Release
-- | Wishing all Goanetters | | a Prosperous | | and | | Happy New Year - 2006 | |Goanet - http://www.goanet.org | -- Seven Steps to Healthy Anger Release 1. Recognise the anger you're feeling. That may sound simple enough, but in all too many cases it's the biggest obstacle we face. Anger may be denied because we feel too guilty about it, or afraid of it and as a result, the feeling is turned insides where it festers. 2. Decide what made you angry. Ask yourself the very important question. Is this worth getting angry over? If it's a small annoyance that's ticked you off- -as it is in the majority of angry episodes--forget it. If you can't forget it, then perhaps the source of your anger goes beyond this simple incident. Ferret out the underlying cause of your hostility. Bring your feelings to the surface and deal with them. 3. Give the Provoker the benefit of the doubt. Instead of inflaming your anger by feeding yourself such thoughts as Who does he think he is for treating me in this underhanded way! suggest to yourself that perhaps this person is having a bad day. Come up with a reasonable justification for the behaviour something that you can understand and relate to. 4. Count ten or practice some form of mental relaxation. Most psychologists agree there's nothing to be gained by an explosive outburst aimed at retaliations. Calm down first, then discuss the conflict rationally. 5. Make your grievance known without attacking the other person.This calls for tact and some good communication skills. One important tip. Register your complaint using I instead of you for example, instead of saying, you're acting unfairly and you're wrong, it's far more effective to say, I feel hurt. What you're doing doesn't take my needs into account. 6. Listen: Another tough technique to master. But really try. Listen hard. And above all, understand. This is the key step in resolving the conflict. And resolving the conflict is, after all, the key to safely diffusing your anger. 7. Forgive: When you forgive someone (and this includes yourself), many clearly positive psychological and physiological changes take place, you feel warm, your blood pressure and heart rate drop, you may even cry. But most importantly, through forgiveness you once again experience the love that is the essence of your relationship. You remember that you care about this person which may be why their hurt so much in the first place.

[Goanet] No flats despite full payment
-- | Wishing all Goanetters | | a Prosperous | | and | | Happy New Year - 2006 | |Goanet - http://www.goanet.org | -- No flats despite full payment The Navhind Times Are you buying property in Goa? Doing so without acquiring the title certificate and the nil-encumbrance certificate on the property would cost you dearly. This has happened to about 24 persons who paid a builder an average of Rs four lakh each and bought flats in Diyana Holiday Homes at Umtavaddo, Calangute. The builder even gave them physical possession of the flats but subsequently, the Economic Development Corporation Limited (EDC) attached the property and in a recent newspaper advertisement, has announced it will auction on September 7. The builder had mortgaged the property to the EDC to avail of a loan of Rs 65 lakh before he sold the flats to the unsuspecting buyers. He took their money but concealed the fact that the property they were buying was mortgaged. According to Mr Benedict Nazareth, a Mapusa-based lawyer for four of the flat-owners in Diyana Holiday Homes, the buyers should have obtained the title certificate and the nil-encumbrance certificate on the property before they paid the builder. Every person who buys immovable property has to ensure that the property title is clear and marketable. The title certificate is issued by any lawyer who will conduct the necessary investigations and issue it, Mr Nazareth said. Secondly, they should have also obtained a nil-encumbrance certificate from the office of the sub-registrar. The moment a mortgage is registered, the same is reflected in the encumbrance register maintained by the sub-registrar. Had the buyers approached the sub-registrar, they could easily have found out that Diyana Holiday Homes was mortgaged. Mr Nazareth has published an advertisement in the newspapers to inform members of the public that his clients are owners, in physical possession of the flats in Diyana holiday homes and to warn prospective buyers not to buy the flats at the planned auction. Doing so would be at their own risk, he says. One of the duped buyers, Mr Martin DMello, through his power-of-attorney, has lodged a complaint of cheating and misappropriation of funds against the builder with the Calangute police. In his complaint, he states that the agreement of sale for the flat was executed in September 1995. The payments were then made and he was given physical possession of the flat in February 1999. Repeated requests to the builder to execute the conveyance deed was ignored by the builder. Mr D Mellos power-of-attorney was shocked to read in the newspaper dated August 14, 2004, an advertisement by the EDC that Diyana Holiday Homes were to be auctioned at 3 p.m. on September 7. He was even more shocked to learn that the builder had mortgaged the property to EDC in February 1995, a full seven months prior to executing the agreement of sale. In his complaint, Mr DMello states that the builder dishonestly concealed the fact that the property was mortgaged and if he had been told the truth, he would not have parted with his hard-earned money. Mr Nazareth said, the builders intent was clearly to cheat. Otherwise, he would not have taken a mortgage before the sale of agreement and concealed the fact of the mortgage. He affirms that concealing the mortgage and inducing a person to part with his money amounts to cheating in the sense of Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code. But the Calangute police are still studying whether this constitutes an offence of cheating and have not yet registered the case. But Mr Nazareth also says this is a breach of a contractual obligation which leads to civil liability and one has to sue the offending person under the Specific Relief Act to enforce the contract. Unfortunately, most of the duped owners of flats in Diyana are based in Mumbai and fighting legal battles in Goa are very cumbersome for them. Mr Nazareth says the only solution to this imbroglio could be an intricate legal tri-partite agreement between the EDC, the duped owners and new buyers of the flats, through which he hopes to safeguard his clients interests. One may notice that the builder has not been mentioned in this possible solution. With laws as they are, it is feared that he may go off scot-free. Says Mr Nazareth, the law says Buyers beware! take precautions or else, you may be crying in vain before police and lawyers and courts while the builder laughs all the way to the bank with your money.

[Goanet] TIPS ON REMOVING DIFFERENT KIND OF STAINS
-- | Wishing all Goanetters | | a Prosperous | | and | | Happy New Year - 2006 | |Goanet - http://www.goanet.org | -- TIPS ON REMOVING DIFFERENT KIND OF STAINS For ink stains, spray the area with hairspray and blot with a clean paper towel. Reapply as often as necessary for removing the stain and rinse. For removing deodorant stains from washables, sponge the area with white vinegar and wash in the hottest water that is safe for the fabric. For grass stains use cold water. Alcohol may be used if the fabric is washable or try rubbing the stain with glycerin and let it sit for 30 minutes before washing. For removing a red wine stain, saturate the stain with white wine and watch it disappear. For makeup stains, spray with hairspray, blot and repeat until the stain is removed. Wash as usual. Shaving cream makes a good spot remover for upholstery and carpets. For grease stains, rub in some mechanics' hand cleaner and rinse. Another way to clean grease strain is to wash it with petrol or kerosene. If you have grease on clothes, put a can of coca cola in the washer. It takes the grease out of clothes. To clean soiled shirt collars, use a small brush with shampoo. To make white fabrics as white as possible, add a teaspoon of peroxide to hot water and soak. For bloodstains pour peroxide on them and use cold water. To remove rust from washable fabrics, put lemon juice and salt on the stain and place in the sun to dry. Also you can make a mixture with equal parts of salt and cream of tartar. Wet the spot, apply the mixture and place in the sun. When trying to remove a stain (from a washable fabric), get it good and wet before applying any detergent or stain remover. Less likely to streak or remove colour. Pretreat stains before washing. If the stain is not removed after pretreating and washing, do not dry in the dryer. The dryer will set the stain. To remove grease stains from fabrics, just dab some dishwashing liquid on the stain and toss it into the washer. The next time it comes out of the machine there will be no trace of the stain.

[Goanet] CLASSIC CHRISTMAS ROAST TURKEY
WHISKING UP THE GRAVY Some people make gravy in the roasting pan some use a saucepan; it really doesn't matter. What is important is to make sure you scrape up whatever has stuck to the bottom of the roaster - those caramelized bits will add lots of flavour to your gravy. CARVING IT UP Don't carve the turkey as soon as it comes out of the oven. You'll lose all the terrific juices. Instead, put it on the counter, away from drafts, and let it '"rest" for 20 to 30 minutes. During this time, the turkey's juices, which will have come to the surface during the roasting, will settle back into the meat, and the turkey will be easier to carve (not to mention juicier and even more delicious). Resting the bird also gives you some time and oven space to cook or heat other food. THE NUMBERS GAME These guidelines will help you decide on the size of the bird and how long to cook it. Roasting times are approximate for unstuffed birds cooked at 180 degrees centigrade/ 350 degrees Farhenite. Add half an hour extra for stuffed turkeys. Number of guests Size of turkey Cooking time -- 8 people 12 - 14 pounds / 6 - 7 kg 2.5-3 hours -- 10 people15 - 16 pounds / 7.5 - 8 kg 3.5 hours -- 12 people 18 - 20 pounds / 9 - 10 kg 4 hours -- 14 people 21 - 22 pounds / 10.5 - 11 kg 4.5 hours -- 16 people 24 pounds / 12 kg5 hours -- CLASSIC CHRISTMAS ROAST TURKEY (Serves 8, with leftovers) 1 Turkey (medium), about 4-5.9kg 1 lemon 2-3 fresh bay leaves 1 onion, peeled and cut into quarters 50g butter, melted Preheat the oven to 180C/400F. Remove the giblets and thoroughly rinse the turkey under cold water, then pat dry using kitchen paper. Season inside the turkey with a little sea salt and plenty of fresh ground black pepper. Finely grate the zest of the lemon and reserve, then cut the lemon into quarters lengthways. Tear the bay leaves in half and place these, with the lemon and onion quarters, inside the turkey's main cavity. This will flavour while the bird is roasting.Transfer the Turkey to a large roasting tin, breast-side up. Brush generously with the melted butter and season the skin with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and the lemon zest. Place a square of foil loosely over the turkey to protect the breast and legs. Roast, in the preheated oven, for the calculated cooking time, basting with the juices every hour.About 30-40 minutes before the end of the cooking time, remove the foil then return the turkey to the oven. Check it is thoroughly cooked by inserting a skewer into the thickest parts of the breast and thighs: the juices should run clear and there should be no pink meat. if the juices are still pink, return to the oven for a further 15 minutes, then test again.Transfer the cooked turkey to a warmed serving dish, cover tightly with buttered foil and keep warm. Allow to rest in a warm place for at least 30 minutes (it will stay hot for up to an hour if tightly wrapped in foil). Resting the turkey will allow the meat to relax and become firm, making it easier to carve and more succlent. Serve with roast potatoes, vegetables and all the trimmings.Clever twist - After seasoning the bird, make a quick herb and lemon butter to go underway the turkey skin. combine 100g butter with 10g fresh thyme, chopped, 20g fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped, and the finely grated zest of 1 lemon. Lift the skin from the neck of the turkey and use your fingers to make a pocket separating the skin from the breast meat. Push the butter evenly underneath the skin to coat the meat, then smooth the skin back down. Gourmet secret - Make a herb, lemon and harissa butter and use as above. Combine 100g softened butter with 10g fresh thyme, chopped, 20g fresh thyme, chopped, 20g fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped, the finely chopped peel of 3 pickled lemons, and 1 tablespoon harissa (chilli paste).Send instant messages to your online friends http://in.messenger.yahoo.com -- |Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | || | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and

Baste the turkey once every hour with one-half to three-fourths cup of chicken stock mixed with half a stick of melted butter, or any other basting liquid of your choice. Cook an 8 to 12 lbs for 2 3/4 to 3 hrs. The cooking times are guidelines only. Use a food thermometer to determine safe doneness.
