unknown period of jesus christ in bible has been spent by him in India and tibet.There he studied kriya yoga.A

According to a Russian author Nicholas notawich in his book 'unknown period of Jesus Christ'.
The real tomb stone of Jesus lies in Kashmir(india).So the story of his resurrection may be false

I heard that Chrishna and Christ are similar names because of that period.

Do orthodox christians celebrate christmas on 7th January?

if so, does this encompass all the orthodox denominations - like greek / byzantine, russian, armenian, ethiopian etc.? in which country do we see christmas celebrated on a wide scale on 7th January?

do you guys have christmas lights and christmas tree and family dinners / parties too? what do you guys do?

Widescale Orthodox Christmas celebrations on 7 January can be seen in Russia, Bethlehem - the birthplace of Jesus in Palestine, Egypt as they still follow old Julian calendar

In Bethlehem especially, there will be Greek Orthodox Christmas procession at Manger Square on the eve (6 Jan). The Greek Orthodox will use most of the area in the Church of Nativity for its Christmas Vigil. Other Oriental Orthodox denominations such as Syrian, Coptics and Ethiopian will celebrate their masses in their designated points in the church.

In Russia, you will see President Medvedev attends Christmas Vigil led by Patriarch Kirill.

In Egypt, you will see Gamal Mubarak attends Coptic mass led by Pope Shenouda III.

Many other Eastern Orthodox countries like Macedonia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Belarus also will celebrate Orthodox Christmas on 7 Jan. Oriental Orthodox countries like Ethiopia and Eritrea will also celebrate.

Check CNN and BBC, they will highlight the news of the celebration every year.

I think Armenia celebrates Christmas on 6 January.

San Francisco - Places to see and things to do

San_Francisco Airport Rent-A-Car

The Cliff House
The first Cliff House was a modest structure built in 1863 by Masters Butler and Buckley. The guest register bore the names of three U.S. Presidents as well as prominent San Francisco families such as the Hearsts, Stanfords and Crockers who would drive their carriages out to Ocean Beach for horse racing and recreation. In 1881, the Cliff House was sold to Adolph Sutro, a self made millionaire, philanthropist and later a mayor of San Francisco. Seven years later, Sutro built a railroad to bring the general public to this seaside attraction. On Christmas Day 1894, the Cliff House was destroyed by fire.

Mission Dolores
The mission called Dolores was founded October 9, 1776. The padres chose a site for Mission San Francisco de Asis beside a little inlet called Laguna Dolores. The nearby pueblo was named Yerba Buena. As time went by the town took the name of Saint Francis, while the mission more popularly became known as Dolores. Even though located beside one of the finest harbors in all the world, Mission Dolores was handicapped from the outset by lack of suitable space for agriculture, competition for that space from the citizens of the Spanish pueblo, and the damp and foggy climate. Initially the Indians were greatly attracted to the mission, but ample food and protection from enemies had to be measured against fatal epidemics of measles, the worldly attractions of the pueblo, and the free life of "unenlightened" brothers across the bay.

S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien
In June 1943 the Liberty Ship S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien slid down the ways at the New England Shipbuilding Corporation in South Portland, Maine. Shortly thereafter she entered service, operated by Grace Line for the War Shipping Administration. Named for the first American to capture a British naval vessel during the Revolutionary War, the O'Brien made seven World War II voyages, ranging from England and Northern Ireland to South America, to India, to Australia. She also made eleven crossings of the English Channel carrying personnel and supplies to the Normandy beaches in support of the D-Day invasion. After the war, she was "mothballed" and laid up in the Reserve Fleet at Suisun Bay, north of San Francisco. Thirty-three years later, skillful maneuvering by a U.S. Maritime Administration official (himself a former Liberty ship sailor) saved the O'Brien from the scrap yard. In 1979, after hundreds of hours labor by volunteer crew members to remove thick layers of preservatives, the O'Brien headed for San Francisco to be restored. No other ship ever has steamed out of the mothball fleet under her own power.

Transamerica Pyramid
When plans for the new Transamerica Corporation's headquarters in downtown San Francisco were unveiled in 1968, there was public outcry. Many people claimed that a pyramid-shaped skyscraper didn't belong in their city. But today, it's impossible to imagine the San Francisco skyline without the grace and symmetry of the Transamerica Pyramid. The Transamerica Pyramid has become a source of great pride to San Franciscans and an icon of San Francisco recognized worldwide, along with the city's famous cable cars and the Golden Gate Bridge.

San Francisco Flower Mart
With beginnings paralleling the growth and development of the San Francisco Bay Area, the origins of the San Francisco Flower Mart go back to the late 1800's when land was plentiful. Local flower growers could bring their product to Lotta's fountain in downtown San Francisco three days a week, selling their product to local flower shops. A need for a centrally located market bringing together the three ethnically diverse groups of flower growers was fulfilled with the opening of a market located at 5th and Howard Streets in 1924. As flower growers expanded production areas outside of the Bay Area and as product from other parts of United States came in, the need for a larger more modern permanent facility led to the design and construction of our current market at Sixth and Brannan Streets in the South of Market area of San Francisco.

Golden Reign Focuses on Gold Play in Russia

Currently ranked sixth in the world in gold production, Russia has total known gold resources of approximately 500 million ounces. During the last few years, Russia’s increase in production has been the one of the highest among all of the major gold producers, and yet this growth represents only a small portion of the country’s potential.

Aton Capital, a major Russian asset management company, has pointed out that Russia’s output of gold still lags far behind other major gold producers.

“The country's total estimated gold resources are almost 500-mil oz, while output was only 5.9-mil oz in 2004 [and 5.36 million in 2006 – Editor], implying a resource life of 85 years at the current rate of extraction,” the company stated in a report posted on its website. “With the exception of South Africa, resource lives for major producers (US, Canada and Australia) are 15-20 years. This implies there is considerable potential for raising output in Russia, and indeed this is exactly what we have seen.”

And if Russia’s total resource base is considerable, then as a percentage, Russia’s Far East is the place for junior resource companies to be looking for the yellow metal. The Magadan gold region – which is said to be Russia most important area for gold – hosts nearly 2,000 placer gold deposits, 100 gold ore deposits, and 48 silver ore deposits. At last tally, the region had known reserves of 128,000,000 ounces – more than one fifth of Russia’s total.

Russian mining and exploration have had a long road toward real openness since Glasnost and Perestroika were decreed by the then president of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev. And forefront of juniors making headway in modern day Russia is Golden Reign Resources (TSX.V:GRR).

“We’ve got lots of focus on Russia’s Far East right now,” said Myles. “We’ve taken a lot of effort to lay down roots in the region. I think our most recent sample assays show that we’ve made the right decision in setting up at Dorozhni and Butarni.”

Dorozhni Property

Earlier in the year, Golden Reign completed the first phase of its exploration program at the Dorozhni property, one of two highly-prospective gold properties located in the Magadan Region of Far East Russia. Although historical exploration has focused on high-grade gold bearing quartz veins at or near surface, Golden Reign believes that the property has potential for a low-grade bulk tonnage gold deposit.

Assay results from the initial sampling program originated from two trenches covering an aggregate 1.5 kilometres on the N-NE slope of Dorozhni. Approximately 30 kilograms (over 900 ounces) of gold was historically mined from Vein No. 1, including high-grade pockets grading several kilograms of gold per tonne. Recent assay results from property samples include grades of 1.65 g/t, 2.74 g/t, 4.84 g/t, and 18.69 g/t.

Dipping gently to the northwest, this quartz vein has intense massive sulphide mineralization along the vein selvage containing visible gold. Coarse-grained native gold mineralization is also observed within the vein. Gold grains range in size from 0.5 to 2.0 mm, reportedly reaching a few centimetres in size in some cases.

Additional samples revealed that gold mineralization is not restricted solely to quartz veins but also occurs within the surrounding rock. Others indicated that gold mineralization is likely disseminated through the entire intrusion.

High sulphide mineralization was observed in boulders located in the riverbed of Dorozhni Creek within a stockwork zone roughly 50 metres by 70 metres wide. Golden Reign intends to remove the overburden to allow for proper channel sampling by diamond saw, which should provide a better representation and understanding of this newly discovered zone.

Butarni Property

Golden Reign’s second Russian venture, the Butarni property, covers an area of 9.3 square kilometers and is situated approximately 310 kilometres north of Magadan, the capital city of the province. It is underlain by sediments intruded by a biotite granite stock with dimensions of approximately 3 km x 1.6 km. Golden Reign has established a camp and mobilized exploration equipment in the area. It is trenching 3,500 metres across geochemical and geophysical anomalies in anticipation of 2,500 metres of diamond drilling to test the mineralization at depth.

A technical report on the Butarni Property, filed in August 2007 by qualified person John Kowalchuk, P. Geol., indicated that the discovery of modest to large tonnages of gold mineralized rock could potentially allow for low cost, large-scale, open pit mining of the deposit(s) at Butarni.

“The combination of large tonnages of mineralized rock and the substantial gold grade potential suggests the possibility of a significant discovery of an economic gold deposit,” Kowalchuk reported, recommending that the Butarni property warranted additional evaluation.

Previously, only the northern and western parts of the Butarni region were explored, whereas Golden Reign’s current target is a known gold bearing area in the southwest portion referred to as Zone 1. Golden Reign is currently engaged in detailed mapping and geochemical surveys to test approximately 40% of this area that remains unexplored.

Historical grab and channel sampling of quartz veins within Zone 1 returned values ranging from 1 g/t to 334.4 g/t Au, with an average grade of 21.3 g/t gold from 45 grab samples and 29.6 g/t gold from 22 channel samples. Golden Reign’s recent channel samples yielded grades of 8.63 g/t and 16.11 g/t.

Encouraged by the findings in the Technical Report, Golden Reign excavated an additional 1,000 metres across four trenches, for a total of six trenches approximately 100-150 metres apart. Testing of the newly exposed weathered zone will continue throughout 2008.

Offering low dilution – 25 million shares issued and outstanding and 41 million fully diluted – and a low share price ($0.12 to $0.15 range), Golden Reign has a market cap with plenty of upside potential. The company has taken a slow and steady dive in the markets, first since a tangle with local politics in the region (now resolved) and then due to the market hiccup last August (now resolved). In the meantime, the company has made significant headway in achieving its objectives – “trenching; channel sampling; detailed geological mapping; soil sampling; geophysical surveys; and limited drilling.” With this now complete – the company collected almost 1000 one-metre samples – and with results expected soon, Golden Reign has already begun assessing new targets in mineral-rich Magadan.

Do you think Russians are gonna get even one figure skating gold?

As a result of that tied result from last time when the Canadian pair got silver and there was a big hooha.

No.

Ladies figure skating is the last event, and after the short program the top Russian is in 8th. There is absolutely no chance to get gold from that position - no realistic chance to even medal.

Top 5 Things To Do in Sofia

1. Start at the Statue
Start your city tour at the statue of St. Sofia, a 24m bronze statue of the goddess protector of the city, erected atop a pedestal on the Sveta Nedelya Square. The citizens of Sofia are said to love the statue but the church condemns it, contending that it is not a religious rendition of a saint. They may have a point: The golden saint, wearing a form-fitting gown with a plunging neckline, looks more like a Greek goddess.

2. Ancient Rotunda
Head over to the Sheraton Hotel Sofia, which was built in front of the oldest building preserved in Sofia, the 4th-century St. George Rotunda. The ancient church is situated amid the remains of the ancient Roman town of Serdica. The magnificent dome is protected by UNESCO and the church functions at present as a museum.

3. Admire the splendor of the Cathedral
The golden dome of St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral, the city's hottest tourist spot, dominates the skyline. Considered the heart of the city, it was built between 1904 and 1912, commemorating the Russian soldiers who perished in the Bulgarian War of Liberation. The square in front of the church hosts a colorful street market selling souvenirs, antiques and bric-a-brac throughout the year. Everything from Russian fur hats and lacquered boxes to icons and embroidery is for sale.

4. Do some shopping & have fun
To round off your day you can take a relaxing shopping stroll along Vitosha Boulevard – the city’s main shopping thoroughfare. The boulevard, now closed to all traffic except trams, is lined with jewelries and fashion boutiques with designer clothes by world-famous brands. Vitosha Boulevard is also the hub of Sofia’s nightlife, hosting many cafes, bars, restaurants, and disco clubs.

5. Get some fresh air
The Vitosha Mountain rises out behind the city, just half an hour drive from downtown. It’s a great place for taking a hike and getting out of the big city. You can have a picnic in summer or go skiing in winter. Of course, if you’re not in the mood for exertion, you can always visit the Boyana Church (on UNESCO's world heritage list), nestled at the foot of the mountain.

Russian Coins Phenomenon

Reading latest news you could see titles like “Sale of Russian Ruble Paves the Way in Goldberg Coins Pre Long Beach Auction”, “Russian Ruble (1714/3 PCGS EF-45) fetching $46,800” and going through Russian Coin forums, you will see topics, such as “Russian Coins Prices are MAD” and “This hobby is becoming too expensive”.

Russian Coin market has exploded this year! The prices for most quality Imperial Russian Coins (pre 1917) has grown 100% and keep going up. Coin Dealers are confused and if you call most of them you will hear the same answer: “We don’t have any Russian Coins in the inventory right now. Russian Coin Market is hot.” So, who is buying Russian Coins and how it can be possible for the coins prices to grow 100% in just 1 year?

We believe, to understand what happened you will need to go back in the history. Russia went through very difficult times in 20th century; people struggled to feed their families and had little interest in expensive hobbies, such as collecting coins. A lot of silver and gold coins were melted down or converted to jewelry. We know how many Russians coins were minted, but no one knows how many coins survived through all these years of weak economy. Even now all Imperial Russian Coins can not be exported from Russia, so there circulation of such coins outside of Russia is limited to Russian coins smuggled illegally or Russian coins kept by generations of Russian immigrants.

You could see that demand for Russian coins started to grow 5 years ago when Russian economy just started to recover. It’s easy to conclude that the recent growth in Russian coin prices is related to booming Russian economy. In fact, if you compare results of coin auctions in Russia with Russian coin auctions outside of Russia, prices for the same Russian coins outside of Russia are 10-30% below than inside of Russia! The demand is coming from Russia itself where more and more people find investing in coins to be very rewarding. Russian coins on European and North American auctions are bought through proxies and coming back to Russia and western Russian coins inventories, which were not very good from the beginning are depleting. There is a huge demand, which drives the prices up and with quality Russian coins going to private collectors and investors you can find that some rare coins sold in the auction in January are selling for twice as much in June. This is unbelievable 100% Return on Investment in 5 months!!! And, people were saying stock market brings highest returns. The one million dollar question is for how long the prices for Russian Coins can growth and would this market overheat and crash one day.

We know that every market has its ups and downs and 100% growth is not sustainable in the long term. From the other hand, if we compare coin prices for British and American coins to Russian coins, we can still see that rare Russian coins are still selling for much less than British or American coins of such rarity. For the largest country in the world with, such an interesting history, Russian coin market is still in the developing stages and we believe it will be booming while Russian economy is doing well and a lot of experts suggest that Russia might finally have a bright future.

If you are interested in taking a part of this rally and have little or no knowledge on Russian coins, following are some suggestions, which you will need to consider. As in any growing market there are people, who are trying to exploit and profit from it in a fast way. There are more and more fakes of Russian coins, which are coming to the market, which are worthless, but can be sold to inexperienced collectors or investors for thousands of dollars. People looking for bargains are ending up buying these fakes without realizing that they were cheated. Our advise it to stick to the coin dealers, who specialize in Russian coins, there are still some, such as www.MyCoinDealer.com, which have quality Russian coins in the inventory. Avoid auction sites, such as Ebay, where (don’t be surprised) a lot of Russian coins sold as original will end up to be copies! Buy coins certified by NGC, ANACS or PCGS. Apart from certifying that coin is genuine, certified Russian coins are graded according world standards. When you buy “raw” (uncertified) Russian coins, which is a high possibility they are overgraded or can end up to be cleaned or worse - fakes. You pay a premium on certified coins, but it’s worth it. The fact is that even experts can’t tell if the coin is fake by looking at the picture and without certified agencies, coin market would be doomed. Try to do some research to learn about coin grades, clean coins, coin toning and coin varieties, we suggest you to visit http://www.mycoincollecting.com/ to read more information on these topics. For example, Liberty Gold Dollar of 1879 would cost you around $350 in (AU) About Uncirculated grade and $7000 in Uncirculated MS-67 grade and if you haven’t seen a lot of these coins you won’t even tell the difference between the 2. Our advice, that you should buy VF-30 – XF-45 1700-1810 Russian coins and AU or MS-65 1810-1917 Russian coins. These experienced the highest market value growth in the recent years and we believe will keep going up. Russian Gold Coins and Platinum Russian Coins were appreciating fast because of the recent growth in Gold prices, so if you believe the price for gold is going up and can afford such coins, you might find to look at Russian Gold Coins a bit closely.

To summarize, Russian Coin market is still maturing and although 100% increase in price in 1 year seems crazy, it can be explained that Russian coins were overlooked in the past and were very cheap before and just start to get appreciation and demand they deserve in the recent years.

Where can I buy/read The Anti-Christ by Dimitri Merejkowski?

It's a book that's been out of print for a long time (maybe 80 years?) by a Russian author. It's one in a trilogy, the first being The Death of the Gods, the second one The Resurrection of the Gods (or The Romance of Leonardo da Vinci) and this one being the third. Help?

http://www.amazon.com

http://www.gutenberg.org

http://www.wikipedia.org

I put title and author into the appropriate search boxes at the first two links and came up with nothing... I put the author's name into Wiki and came up with nothing.

Are you 100% sure of the spelling of the author's name? Hmm. I'll try just the title... which can only be done on Wiki or on Amazon--
No go. Just a bit about Nietzsche and his The Anti-Christ book, which is not at all what you're looking for, I think. Maybe someone else can be of more help-- oh, one more place

Traditions In Russian Marriage

While once it was obligatory for the young couple to have the family blessing in order to be able to have a wedding ceremony, today families are way much more liberal. However here are a few traditions in Russian marriage.

Russian marriage is a unique experience. It is quite likely to find your bride with the help of marriage agency. These matchmakers will help you learn some basic things for the Russian culture, but you might be curious as to what is the traditional Russian marriage ceremony.

In old times in Russia, it was habitual for the bride and the bridegroom to get acquainted at their wedding ceremony. Very often they were "promised" to each other since early age and actually it was the family and the parents who were making the decision and not the young man or woman.

In the 60's in the last century when America was whooping with hippy lifestyle, the Russian tradition little by little started changing and young people were allowed to date, but any sexual contact before the marriage was strictly forbidden and punished severely.

It was accepted for the man to visit the woman's family and ask her parents for permission to marry her. If the father was positive about this, the woman was obliged to knead bread and to take it to her father and mother in law thus showing her modesty and ability to settle her own family.

Buying the bride was not offensive. Today this is still practiced but more like a tradition, rather than a real trade act. Man was allowed to bid for the woman offering money or luxury presents to her family and trying by all means to prove his wealth. This was practiced mainly to prove that man is able to look after the woman and assure her a good life after the marriage rather than because of greed.

If the bride's family was against any marriage it was not impossible for her to get married. The old tradition was offering a solution called Stealing. Today you might find this funny, but a century ago stealing girls was even a profession. Young men worked out plans in order to trick the family members who were refusing to allow the marriage.

They were paid for doing this usually sponsored by the bridegroom, his family and friends. This was not happening without the active support of the bride. Then in the middle of the night she would elope with her beloved.

This once again proves that Russian women are rebels by nature and ready to leave everything, even the will of their fathers and mothers, but they do this for love and passion.

Traditional Russian marriage is usually taking place and authorized during church ceremony. The largest part of the local population is Christian but being part of the orthodox branch of this religion there are some slight differences from the western ritual. Later during the communist regime and especially during Stalin's government, the church rituals were prohibited and not tolerated.

Nowadays more and more young couples prefer to say "Yes" in front of God along with the formal papers that they sign to make the marriage real for any legal purposes.

Orthodox ceremonies usually take between half an hour to more than four hours if they include all obligatory chants and acts for God's blessing. Most modern couples prefer the short adaptation. Later the marriage moves to a restaurant or other place where all guests have fun and celebrate the event with tons of vodka and delicious Russian meals.
