    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

Tarot reader arrested in Cyprus

Cool.

As backwards as Cypriots can be about some things (ask me sometime about how a radio technician there tried to do his job, or about the gov. honcho who point blank asked me how to break the copy protection on a program the company I worked for sold to his department) at least they don't sit still for crap like that.

I've spent some time in Nicosia (Lefkosia.) Nice weather (except when one my former colleagues went along, then it was nasty) and I love haloumi cheese (just had a pile of fried haloumi last night.) Just don't get me started on the slow roasted goat meat...

Nicosia is a divided city like Berlin was. Turkey claims one end of the island. The rest of the island is the country of Cyprus. Nicosia sits right on the border. To cross from the Cyprus side to the Turkish side, the turkish make you sign a statement that says they are the rightful owners/rulers of the island - I wasn't that hot on seeing that side of the island. The Turkish have got one monstrous piece of propaganda set up on a mountainside above Nicosia. That's the Turkish flag back there. I've got a better photo stashed away at home somewhere. I got to take it from a Cyprus Army watch post in Nicosia several years ago.

And if you really want to have fun, you have to join the Olympus ski club and go skiing in the middle of the Mediteranean.

Mmmh. Ice cold Zibania from the Kissos monastery. (Don't buy the crap from Keo, except for the Othello 1996 red wine.)

Are you kidding? They are calling her a sorceress and a witch.

They are not saying that she's defrauding people by using fraudulent methods, they are saying that she is using paranormal abilities for fraudulent means.
 
According to CID Investigator Iraklis Pitsillis, Vera Georgiou, 39, is being investigated for charges relating to fraud, sorcery and intention to conceal a crime after a complaint was filed at Nicosia CID.

On fraud and intention to conceal a crime. I don't know the legal definition of sorcery in Cyprus, but note the quotation marks around the word witch in the tiltle. Makes it clear that the guy who wrote the article doesn't think much of the idea of witches.

So why bother mentioning that tarot cards, and a bat, and crystal ball were found at her home?

And why mention the other sorceress in the same manner as any other job title?

In fact, why call her a witch? Why not say that a woman operating a fraudulent business has been arrested?
