From the Lourdes spring in provincial France, Aqua Tan is bottling up the centuries-old spring water that is said to have brought about miracles and spectacular cures. The beauty-products company plans to sell the water goods this summer. The healing water comes from the cave of Massabielle, where a young girl claimed she saw an apparition of the lady, who has now become the legendary Lady of Lourdes. Aqua Tan products are known for providing what the company calls a couture tan a self-tanner in a bottle that is pure, clean and healthy. Their marketing message is that they provide a healthy alternative: Their tanner is light, clean and inspired by the purity of water. While the healing powers of the spring have never been proven, consumers may perhaps be more willing to take a, leap of faith when it comes to trying out products that come from the purest source: nature.

[Goanet] UTT GOENKARA DEMANDS PROBE INTO PWD JOB SCAM
http://www.GOANET.org International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org Utt Goenkara has vowed to pursue complaints of corruption and abuse of authority in government departments received from any nook or corner of Goa. Utt Goenkara has demanded an immediate probe into the appointment letters issued last week by the Public Works department to 103 new Lower Division Clerks (LDCs) at the behest of Mr. Vishwajeet Rane and Mr. Sudin Dhavlikar. Congress President Sonia Gandhis directive to Goa Chief Minister Mr. Digambar Kamat to provide a corrupt free administration has to be taken in right earnest. As a step in this direction MLAs Dayanand Narvekar and Mauvin Godinho with cases of serious criminal offences pending against them should not be inducted into the cabinet until they are cleared of the charges by the Courts. To protect the interests of Goas educated unemployed the Government should revert the retirement age of government employees to 58, revoke the blatant extensions in service and contract appointments being given to retired government officers and have a very transparent system for recruitment of government staff by entrusting all government recruitment to the Goa Public Service Commission. Demanding that the Goas new regional plan be prepared in consultation with all concerned, Utt Goenkara has stated that the Goa Regional Plan 2011 was not a mere mistake or mishap but a planned fraud on the people of Goa by some politicians to line their pockets by selling Goa. Only a judicial probe into the roots of RP 2011 would reveal the extent of the financial benefits that were sought to be amassed through the anti-Goa, anti-people and anti-environment Goa Regional Plan 2011 by some Ministers and many MLAs of the last legislative assembly along with their cronies. There is need of a consensus within all political parties of appointing only technical experts on the Town and Country Planning Board and other planning authorities to ensure Goas planned development with an environmental vision by first improving Goa's crumbling basic infrastructure while tackling serious issues like garbage and vehicle parking in cities on a top priority. A fractured mandate is a recipe for administrative chaos and in such a situation it warrants the need of NGOs to be all the more vigilant against any injustice to the common man. A delegation of Utt Goenkara would meet Chief Minister Mr. Digambar Kamat next week and seek his intervention in resolving Goas pressing problems. ___ Yahoo! Answers - Got a question?

One reason Rushdie gets knighted is to use him and to stick it to Muslims and the West's current War on Islam.

To be fair, over 400 people have rejected Knighthoods, OBEs, MBEs etc., both within and outside Europe. Their comments in rejecting these awards are illuminating and educational. Fortunately some people have integrity - albeit a small minority. In 2006, I was surprized when Sonia Gandhi accepted the Grand Officer of the Order of Leopold award. King Leopold of Belgium in whose memory the award was made, qualifies as a mass murderer for his role in the Congo (late 19th, early 20th century). Sonia should have spat on the offer of the award but she is European-born and does not see the historial injustice. Instead she becomes a player and pawn in this pitiful tamasha. Of course a number of Indians including the Indian media were thrilled at the award since they need a white person's validation. Any third-rate white award means a whole deal. I suppose if years of colonialism have brainwashed you to think of yourself as second-class to whites, then any white stamp is an honour.

[Goanet] Unique rainwater harvesting project at Goa University
http://www.GOANET.org International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org http://www.navhindtimes.com/articles.php?Story_ID=062045 Unique rainwater harvesting project at Goa University by Nandkumar Kamat HE is a humble scientist fully dedicated to his work and always shies of publicity. But he has done tremendous social good by completing a unique rainwater harvesting project in the academic campus. Thanks to the single handed, selfless efforts and technical brilliance of Prof Chachadi of department of earth sciences, Goa University, a beautiful rainwater harvesting (RWH) structure has been built. People can see it in front of the university's sub post office. Prof Chachadi is well known in India and in the EU countries as an expert hydrogeologist. He has assisted several industries and mining companies on hydrogeological issues. When the outgoing vice chancellor expressed keen interest in using the plentiful rainwater accumulating in the campus Prof Chachadi came out with his detail plan 'Goa University rainwater harvesting and aquifer recharge project' with an estimated cost of Rs eight lakh. The university had not earmarked any funds for the project. The state government does not have any scheme to support RWH projects. So ultimately Prof Chachadi had to use his own project funds and request some sponsors to meet the balance. Sociedade de Fomento Industrial Pvt Ltd; Bhagavathi Ana Labs Ltd; Timblo Ptv Ltd; V M Salgaocar Bro Pvt Ltd, Vasco, Goa and Mineral Engineering Services came forward with generous contributions. Having seen the work on this socially useful project right from its inception, I was curious to seek more details from its creator. Goa University campus is located on a lateritic plateau in the island of Tiswadi. When I asked him about the importance of such plateaus in Goa, Prof Chachadi explained that: These are unique geological features consisting of hard laterites of variable thickness on the top followed by a thick sequence of lithomarge clays and fractured and weathered basement rocks forming deep seated aquifers. Highlighting importance of plateaus, he further said that growing anthropogenic activities on the plateaus have caused depletion and deterioration of the groundwater including drying up of several springs along the plateau slopes. The rainwater recharge in to the subsurface under natural conditions is not sufficient to balance the present withdrawals of groundwater. There is further reduction of this natural recharge due to pavements, roads and buildings occupying the top surface of most of the plateaus. In order to keep pace with the ever increasing anthropogenic stress on this groundwater regime it is necessary to develop and adopt certain measures to protect the aquifers underlying the plateaus from further depletion and deterioration for availing safe and sustainable water supplies. Rain harvesting is one of those measures. Prof Chachadi had conducted some studies in 1991 and 1994 in the campus, which indicated a good scope of rainwater harvesting with infiltration rates ranging between 4- 6 cm/hr. The seed of the idea was sown at that time but none in the university showed interest in his useful idea, which had to wait till 2005-06. Giving technical details of the project Prof Chachadi said: Goa University Campus has a water requirement of about 500 - 600 m3/day to meet various needs but receives less than 50 per cent of its water requirements from the public water supply. The balance of the water demand is partly curtailed and partly met from the existing six bore wells in the campus. These bore wells due to the typical geological disposition of the aquifer cannot provide water on sustainable basis particularly during summer when the public water supply also dwindles to less than 50 per cent of the supply. Explaining his calculations further he said: The campus spread over 173 hectares receives an annual rainfall amounting to about 5 million cubic meters of rainwater. Assuming 50 per cent dependability about 2.5 million cubic meters of surface runoff is available for harvesting. The annual water demand of 0.22 million cubic meters (at the rate of 600 m3/day) constitutes only about 8.5 per cent of the dependable surface runoff in the Campus. An area of 2.2 hectares with a 10 m deep pit can hold this entire volume of water, which is required for the whole year. Giving specifications of the RWH structure he said: The site is located at the starting point of a natural drainage. For creating RWH structure, the site was desilted, levelled and a protective rubble wall was built
[Goanet] My First Date. My First Innocent Date
http://www.GOANET.org International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org My First Date. My First Innocent Date (Its a big story but cutting it short) We both knew we like each other very much. What we did not know if we both really in love with each other We were very secretive, all we wanted was to see each others face at least once a day. And how this was possible? Well, Tuesdays St. Anthony Mass, Wednesday Novena, Thursday Pilar, Sunday Mass etc. She had two elder brothers so she would not do anything in the open. She was innoncent and God fearing too This innocent affair went on for about 6 months and during this period I may have dance with her one or two times at someone's wedding receptions and thats all. One day, it was raining heavily; she and her mother took shelter outside our house. At this time I quickly wrote a note (my first love letter?) saying to meet me at a place which was about 11 kms away. I somehow managed to pass on the note to her while they were there outside the house. I could not sleep whole night thinking she might not come. Next day, she was there at the right place and at the right time. We both headed for north (on my chetak scooter and we did not talk much) via Chorao ferry. I wanted to go somewhere far away, so I choose the spot where I had been only once before when I was a kid during our school picnic. I must have asked at least 5-7 people how to get there. Finally, we made it . We hired a boat and we were in the waters seating facing/starring each other for about one full hour. It was at this time we both realized we are actually in L O V E. Yes, we were on a romantic boat trip A boat trip at Mayen Lake . My first date. My first innocent date. Like most of the boys of my age, I too felt very proud and secured for having a girlfreind (just two of us and nobody else knew about this affair). Sadly, she got married within one year as if we were not made for each other. I was to blame for this as I was bekar shett at that time and her parents were after her marriage and she finally got married at the age of 20 and her younger sister got married even younger at the age of 17.5 by bribing the Panchayat. But the innocent moments we spent together at Mayem Lake have left an indelible ink mark on my heart. Like the song Sad movies always make me cry Mayem Lake makes me cry every time I go there and see the little pedal boats (or see on TV etc) and now every time I watch this clip... http://thisisgoa.com/view/89fa282367675519325a http://thisisgoa.com/view/89fa282367675519325a Now, you may wish to know if I ever met her all these years? Answer is No. Nor I ever made any efforts to find out about her. Nor, I lived at the same place where I used to live before. No doubt, we both are very happy is our married lives but can anyone ever forget the first love ? Ask your self this question and come back to me with your answer. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=236830357size=l http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=236243718size=o http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=236244352size=o [EMAIL PROTECTED] for Goa NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://thisisgoa.com/ ___ Yahoo!

We want to be bigger and better than others, we want to be one-up on others! We want to be in the limelight while we put others in the shade. The name of the game is 'we increase others decrease.' Only when we are in love and live in faith are the roles reversed. John Baptist shows us the way. Have a weekend dieting that God might grow in us! Fr. Jude Sunday Reflections: Twelfth Sunday John the Baptist 24-June-07 Readings: Isaiah 49:1-6; Acts 13: 22-26; Luke 1:57-66, 80; In today's first reading, Isaiah, identifies himself as the servant, chosen before he was born, to speaks to Israel. God makes him an effective instrument, like a sharp sword, in proclaiming his message. Perhaps God hid him and protected him in preparation for his mission. The prophet continues his mission even though no one listens to him. He knows he is speaking on behalf of God and God alone will be his reward. He will continue to speak not only to Israel but to all the nations. God's message is for all peoples, whether they listen or not. God used Isaiah to deliver some of his most encouraging and challenging messages. God uses us as well. Be Positive Donald B. MacMillan, the artic explorer, received a letter from an unknown person, when setting out on an expedition to the far North. Inscribed on the cover were the words: To be opened when everything has gone dead wrong. The letter was not opened even after fifty years. MacMillan informed his friends that during all the time nothing had gone dead wrong in his life. Whether you think that everything is wrong or good in life is just an attitude. Choosing to develop a positive attitude towards life leads to happiness. G. Francis Xavier in 'Inspiring Stories' The success of the precursor of the Lord, John the Baptist, lay in his belief in him whom he heralds. In the second reading Paul reminds the Jews of Antioch and us that the success of our mission in life also likewise depends on our belief in the Lord Jesus. John humbly acknowledged that his life was focused on Jesus. 'I am not the one you imagine me to be; that one is coming after me and I am not fit to undo his sandal.' Our lives have meaning and purpose only in and through Jesus. Shoe-shiner Pastor Mr. Samuel Logan Brengle was a Methodist Pastor in America who once dreamt of becoming a bishop. In 1879 William Booth had formed the Salvation Army in England and was enlisting people. Brengle turned away from a fine pastorate, crossed the Atlantic to join the Salvation army in England. Booth accepted the services of Brengle grudgingly at first. He said to Brengle, You have been your own boss too long. As a trainee he was assigned the job of cleaning the boots of other trainees, as Booth felt that Brengle should learn humility. Brengle said to himself, Have I followed my own fancy across the Atlantic in order to black boots? Later he had a vision of the Lord Jesus washing the feet of rough unlettered fishermen. Brengle yielded himself saying, Lord, you washed their feet, I will black their boots. Daniel Sunderaj in ''Manna for the Soul' In today's gospel we are reminded of the wondrous event of the birth of John the Baptist. In spite of the reactions of their neighbours and relatives, the name given to the child born to Elizabeth and Zachariah is John. The name, meaning 'God's gracious gift' is full of implication. Like John, each of us is special and we are a gift of God to the world today. Are we aware of the implications? Have we recognized the gift? Have we discovered the gift? Have we shared the gift? John's birth was already the good news, and Zachariah gives thanks to God for it. We are the good news and we are called to be the good news all through our lives. Like John we are called to be the ones who prepare the way for the coming of the Lord in today's world. All that we say and all that we do should communicate the good news. In the measure that our lives are pointing to the Lord, in the measure that we decrease, His life will increase in us. John's is a strange destiny. On the one hand, a saintly intolerance of the things of this earth, yet on the other hand with this rugged austerity, an intense spiritual joy. Twice in his life he trembles with joy: in his mother's womb, and when as a grown man, he points to the Messiah. Until he has found

Bhandari, You have made a statement below. I wonder who is the enemy? If it is the Portuguese (you do not have the courage to name) you chaps (hindus) were the greatest benefactors of their presence in Goa. Even today you'll have links with the Portuguese. You may not be aware that there are thousands of Hindus living happily in the enemy camp. There is even a hindu temple in Oeiras. The same with Britain. BC It should have shed light on the facts that hindus invited the portuguese to deliver them from the muslims and how a section of local hindus collaborated with the enemy. C A Bhandare

This doormat mentality afflicts Goans too including mindless church feasts to celebrate long dead European saints who had no connection or interest in Goa, not to mention membership in the Knights of Columbus (also a mass murderer). Regards, George --- A lot of mindless things are done in the name of religion and even more mindless things are done to gain acceptance in this world, but I don't think celebrating village feasts is one of them. The poor, hapless souls who celebrate these feasts do not even know who the saints are, their nationality irrelevant to them. They don't have anything to gain by being validated by the white man, nor have they read clever books to realise the redundancy of what they are doing. They are simple people who are trying to propitiate God to intervene in the helplessness of their lives. Until they are transformed by education, they will continue to do so, but we can't assign motives to their veneration. selma Got a little couch potato?

There were no incidents of loss of property reported in the taluka eventhough there was a power failure in the evening in some parts of Bicholim. Meanwhile, in view of the possible floods in the taluka all the precautions have been taken. The low laying areas have been spotted and are being monitored.

The rodents' love for liquor has the police department in Bihar state stumped as it tries to store hundreds of bottles seized from illegal sellers from across the state in Patna, the state capital, said Kundan Krishnan, a senior officer. We are fed up with these drunk rats and cannot explain why they have suddenly turned to consumption of alcohol, he said. The problem costs revenue as the seized liquor is usually sold through auctions, he said. Rats were also attacking people near the police buildings, nibbling at their toes, although it was not clear if they were under the influence, officials and witnesses said. -- DEV BOREM KORUM.
