window sills what did you use
We remodeled a whole house.It was a 1960's house. They are just finishing up putting the smooth finish on the new wallboards. The window will start going in today. The new cabinets will be coming soon so I went to check to see how things are progressing and noticed they still have the old marble chipped window sills. I just found out they had planned on keeping them. So now we are going to be taking them out of the rooms except the bedrooms. What do people use for window sills. The kitchen and dining area is all one big room with 3 windows and it is open to the living room with 2 big windows. Do I try to match the granite counter tops? Should I have quartz window sills to match the island counter or get new marble window sills? Can you tell me what you did for your window sills. The counter is a dark granite and the island counter will be a lighter gold color. Please let me know what you would suggest for me to use and also what you used. Thank you for all your help.
Our entire house has window windowsills, but since the kitchen sill was stained cherry wood to match the cabinets, it became damaged when I left tomatoes there to ripen.
When we redo our kitchen, I want to use a hard surface for the windowsill, whatever we choose for our countertops, or perhaps tile we will use for the backsplash. But they need to be durable, IMO.
I would not match the counters, whether it is granite or quartz. I would use a marble, quartz, or solid surfacing material that is neutral in color. If you can find something similar to the bedrooms, I would do that. Matching the kitchen would be fine if it were only the kitchen window, but since it's other windows throughout the house, in my opinion it is better to keep them all uniform.

This holiday season, the tablet goes mainstream
SAN FRANCISCO `Tis the season of the tablet. Despite the gloomy economy, shoppers are expected to shell out for tablet computers this December, making them about as popular as candy canes and twinkling lights.
The glossy-screened gadgets are the most-desired electronic devices this holiday season. And, of all the gifts people are craving, tablets are second only to clothing, according to the Consumer Electronics Association. The industry group expects U.S. consumers to spend an average of $246 on electronic gifts, including tablets.
With help from his three siblings, Bob Cardina, 26, plans to purchase an iPad for his parents for Christmas. Cardina and his sister live in Washington. His parents live in Tampa, Florida. So he's excited to be able to video chat with his parents - them on the new iPad, him on his iPhone. He thinks his mother will be especially happy with the gift. One of her friends has an iPad and she's "definitely taken a liking to it," he said.
To be sure, tablets were on some wish lists last year, but they were mostly prized by gadget geeks. In the past year, they have become more mainstream. Consumers have become comfortable using touch screens, especially as smartphones continue to proliferate. Tablets are popping up in unexpected places, too. Apple Inc.'s iPad in particular is being used as a learning tool in schools, a digital cash register in shops and a menu at restaurants.
In 2010, people were "trying to figure out what the whole tablet thing was about," says Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi. "Now, people know what to do with a tablet."
For some people, the device has become indispensable for playing and working. While you can surf the Web, send emails and watch movies on a laptop or smartphone, consumers are gravitating to tablets because they can be more convenient.
The iPad is still expected to far outsell other tablets this year. According to Gartner Inc., nearly 64 million tablets will be sold worldwide by the end of the year. Some 73 percent of them will be iPads. By Gartner's estimate, Apple will sell 47 million iPads this year - a figure it could certainly achieve, given that it sold 25 million of them by the end of September.
But while many think of the iPad as synonymous with the word "tablet," plenty of shoppers will be looking for a more affordable tablet to give this year.
Two of the most promising competitors come from online retailer Amazon.com Inc. and book seller Barnes & Noble Inc. The companies, major players in the e-reader market, recently released tablets of their own that undercut the iPad's $499 base price: Amazon's Kindle Fire, which costs $199, and Barnes & Noble's Nook Tablet, which costs $249. The Fire, which uses a heavily modified version of Google Inc.'s Android tablet software, is expected to be particularly popular with gift givers in part because of its low price.
"When you get below $200, sales go up dramatically," says technology analyst Rob Enderle.

Doylestown hunter bags largest elk
William Zee was one of only 19 hunters to get a license to hunt antlered elk in Pennsylvania this season.
Doylestown hunter bags largest elk
A Doylestown man hunting elk for the first time bagged the largest elk of the season, weighing about 930 pounds.
"There are only 18 tags, and I was lucky to get one," said William Zee, of Braddock Court, referring to the lottery for hunting licenses conducted by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
Zee, who usually hunts whitetail deer, said he took his rifle and bow on this hunting trip. He shot the antlered elk on Nov. 1 in Goshen Township, Clearfield County.
The commission said that 53 of 57 licensed hunters bagged elk during the season that ran from Sept. 1 through Saturday. Hunters killed 19 antlered elk (an additional license had been issued) and 34 antlerless elk.
Antlered elk weighing 780 pounds, 772 pounds and 711 pounds were taken on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, in Clearfield and Elk counties. The heaviest antlerless elk, weighing an estimated 601 pounds, was shot Saturday by Garry Foreman, of Hershey, in Jay Township, Elk County.

"wonderful read - lyrical!"
1993 Nobel Prize. A taut precisely written novel about Frank Money, an African-American Korean War veteran fighting insanity (PTS) whilst working his way back to his sister Cee in their home in Alabama. Many locks fit his key – why? Frank's and Cee's travels are at once heart-wrenching and universal. This book was more accessible than Beloved.

Easter blessings from UCAN
Dear Reader,
There is no more important week in the year for Christians than this Holy Week. We call it Holy because of the mystery we celebrate - God's gift of His son who loves us to his death on Calvary and beyond.
Because of that love, we wish each other Happy Easter even when we know there is a lot of tragedy about it - Good Friday. As Christians, we know that what we see happening with and in Jesus goes to the heart of what we know from our own experience of life.
At the Second Vatican Council, the Christian lives we all lead were described as being shares in the Paschal Mystery. We have our share in the death and resurrection of Jesus every day. Our lives are part of the Paschal Mystery.
At UCAN, we work to describe that mystery in the unfolding tragedies and astonishing blessings of the people we seek out and report, feature and comment on.
While at times deeply distressing work, this effort of ours gets its coherence in the same way the death of Jesus did - because of the astonishing grace of a God who never gives up on life and love.
Because of that, we can wish you Happy Easter.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director
Excommunication for illicit Harbin bishop
Statement discourages further 'gestures' by China that could threaten future dialogueThe Vatican today announced the excommunication of illicitly ordained Fr Yue Fusheng of Harbin
- Alessandro Speciale, Vatican City
- Vatican City
- July 10, 2012
Fr Yue has ŌĆ£automatically incurred the sanctions laid down by canon 1382 of the Code of Canon Law,ŌĆØ the statement said, adding that ŌĆ£on several occasions he had been asked not to accept episcopal ordination without the pontifical mandate.ŌĆØ
The statement said as well the bishops who took part in the ordination ŌĆ£have exposed themselves to the sanctions laid down by the law of the ChurchŌĆØ and ŌĆ£must give an account to the Holy See of their participation in that religious ceremony.ŌĆØ
The statement follows a heated exchange last week between Rome and Beijing in which the Holy See warned the fate of the Catholic Church in China would be imperiled by further illicit ordinations.
Chinese authorities quickly dismissed the warning as ŌĆ£outrageousŌĆØ and expressed their intention to continue self-election and self-ordination, and that outside interference threatened the healthy development of the Church in China.
Speaking to reporters today, Fr Federico Lombardi, head of the Vatican Press Office, characterized the current state of relations with China as ŌĆ£not wholly conducive to constructive and serene dialogue.ŌĆØ
Fr Lombardi said the Vatican was sensitive to distinguishing the political and religious dimensions of the issue, a point on which there appeared to be a ŌĆ£difference of interpretation.ŌĆØ He added that episcopal ordinations ŌĆ£solely pertain to the religious authority of the Church.ŌĆØ
TodayŌĆÖs statement further noted that the Vatican trusted in ŌĆ£the concrete willingness of the Government Authorities of China to dialogue with the Holy SeeŌĆØ and discouraged any future actions that would jeopardize relations.
Fr Lombardi emphasized this point, saying: ŌĆ£If gestures that go against dialogue continue, the governmentŌĆÖs desire will not be apparent.ŌĆØ
Meanwhile, the Vatican described the ordination of Auxiliary Bishop Thaddeus Ma Daqin of Shanghai with papal mandate as ŌĆ£encouraging and is to be welcomed,ŌĆØ while also noting that the presence of illicitly ordained clergy at the ceremony ŌĆ£was inappropriateŌĆØ and against ŌĆ£lawful episcopal ordination.ŌĆØ
Bishop Ma was ordained on Saturday, but local Church sources say that a group of unidentified persons took him away shortly after the ceremony, during which he announced he would step down as vice chair of the local government-sanctioned Catholic Patriotic Association (CPA) and as standing member in the national CPA.
Bishop Ma has since been prevented from assuming his official duties.
Vatican sources told ucanews.com today that any further comment on Bishop MaŌĆÖs whereabouts or status would only put him at greater risk.

What did you do for Valentines Day?
We didn't do anything! Our daughter had a dance, so it really restricted us. We're going out this weekend. He did bring Valentine flowers home Wednesday, though!
I took my DH to his physical therapy, then took him to work, came home cleaned up and then went to pick DH up from work, came home and watched tv and surfed the net. My DH got hurt on the job two weeks ago and is not able to do alot at this time so we agreed not to do anything except send email cards to each other.
We spent the evening with family at a restraunt.It was nice. Today is DD 14th birthday so she not only got Valentines gifts last night but birthday as well. It was nice. There were 10 of us.
My DH and I have a fun tradition - we go into "town" for the weekend. We live in a suburb of Boston, but we spend Sat night after V-day in a hotel downtown, and pretend we're tourists. Usually we see a play or the ballet, and just walk around city neighborhoods(weather permitting) - its wonderful. After a nice Sunday brunch we go home, 10 minutes, but we feel like it was a vacation. This is a combo Valentines Birthday treat since my birthday is two weeks before. Its also good because we usually don't have to compete with Valentines day reservations.
We had two Valentine's dinners. On the day itself, DH prepared me a wonderful dinner at home from a cookbook we got in Williamsburg that has recipies from the historic taverns there. On Saturday, I took him to dinner at a wonderful restaurant/inn we've been meaning to get to for a while.

The average American likely knows very little about translational medicine, a discipline that seeks to "translate" clinical research into new tools, treatments, policies and more to improve public and individual health. For the biomedical community, however, translational medicine is an important subject, causing organizations and scientists to dedicate millions in funding and years of effort to biobanking, various projects, and more. For example, the Strategic Pharma-Academic Research Consortium for Translational Medicine recently awarded $1.9 million to several different research projects, furthering the application of this practice to autoimmune diseases.
The Strategic Pharma-Academic Research Consortium was designed to support translational medicine in both the public and private sectors. Accordingly, their recent grants were awarded in collaboration with their industry partners, Eli Lilly and Co. and Takeda Pharmaceuticals International Inc., two international pharmaceutical companies. The program gives $400,000 to five research projects at medical research universities in the Midwest, which will be used to provide a two-year investment in each group's work. These research projects focus on multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, Crohn's disease, dermatomyositis and scleroderma.
The grants will likely be extremely helpful to these different teams, as translational research often features a variety of scientific expenses. Take biobanking, for example: whether a biological freezer inventory is maintained by an academic institution, company, or other private group, 57% of these facilities rely on funding from the federal government to support their operations. In many cases, this funding is necessary to invest in high-quality laboratory sample management software: while the number of tissues was estimated at more than 300 million in 2000 and is increasing by 20 million a year, a 2011 study of more than 700 cancer researchers found that 47% had trouble finding quality biobank samples.
One of the most exciting projects affected by the Strategic Pharma-Academic Research Consortium's grants is led by Dr. Yanjio Zhou of Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL). His research team, which includes assistant professor of neurology Dr. Laura Piccio and Ohio State University's associate professor of microbial infection and immunology Dr. Amy Lovett-Racke, is studying the function of gut bacteria in patients with MS. Microbiology has become a hot topic in the scientific community in recent years and is believed to hold the answer to a number of conditions.
Meanwhile, other recipients include Dr. Anthony R. French, an associate professor of pediatrics, pathology, immunology and biomedical engineering at WUSTL, and Lauren M. Pachman, professor of pediatrics-rheumatology at Northwestern University. Both are currently studying juvenile dermatomyositis. Likewise, Dr. Gwendalyn Randolph, professor of pathology and immunology, immunobiology and internal medicine at WUSTL, and Dr. Razvan Arsenescuwere, the associate professor of internal medicine at Ohio State University, also were awarded grants for their research on intestinal fibrosis caused by Crohn's disease.
The term "biobanking" refers to the process of collecting, storing and distributing human biological materials, such as blood, plasma, saliva, purified DNA and other specimens. These materials are a vital part of a field called translational medicine, in which biological samples are studied to hopefully yield information that can be translated into treatments. Translational research depends on properly preserved samples, making freezer software and laboratory sample management software important to many biobanks. However, obtaining and storing high-quality samples for this freezer software to use is not as straightforward as many researchers think.
Previous studies have shown that donors often have moral, religious and cultural concerns about how their samples are used, a fact that may affect their decision to donate or give blanket consent. However, a research team at Michigan State University noticed that the surveyed groups that had provided this data were not representative of the U.S. population. To re-examine this willingness, the team surveyed the GfK KnowledgePanel, a probability-based online panel of adults designed to represent the American population. Participants read an introductory description of a fictional biobank, then rated their willingness to donate on a six-point scale, which ranged from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree". They first rated their willingness on blanket consent, then answered a variety of "even if" style questions, which could present moral concerns. The researchers then gave the respondents short descriptions of the benefits and consequences of five methods of gaining consent, asking them to indicate which were acceptable, the best, and the worst.
In a study published in the January 27 issue of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, the research team found that the majority of almost 1,600 individuals were willing to donate samples and medical information to a biobank. Moreover, most were willing to use blanket consent.
The team's final analysis included 1,559 of an original 2,654 participants. The respondents were typically older, Caucasian, had high levels of education and high household incomes. As many as 68% were willing to donate with blanket consent. However, moral concerns were associated with a significant reduction in willingness to donate in all but one scenario.
In light of their findings, the research team is arguing for increased use of blanket consent to appeal to potential donors and limit reduced donations. However, the overall willingness of Americans to donate samples came as no surprise to many: at the turn of the century, the number of tissue samples in U.S. biobanks alone was estimated at more than 300 million, and is increasing by 20 million a year. With these statistics, it's no wonder that so many companies are looking for better freezer software to manage their samples!
In recent years, translational medicine has drawn considerable attention, with laboratories around the world using biobanking technology to study everything from Alzheimer's disease to cancer. This research often requires extensive sample management systems to safely store and track the data being collected, but the facilities that engage in these studies often create jobs and yield information that can be used to create more effective medical treatments. For these reasons, the city of Kannapolis, North Carolina is currently planning to build a new biobanking center, a decision inspired by a new study researching disease patterns in the area.
Biobanks are defined as the repositories that collect, store and distribute human biological materials, including blood, plasma, saliva, purified DNA and other specimens. In many cases, these biorepositories will also keep a record of personal and health-related information connected to these samples, such as genetic data, health records, and family history, for use in various studies and research projects. Through the use of sample management systems and biobanking software, the facilities store huge amounts of data, which is managed, analyzed and later combined to support scientific needs. For the city of Kannapolis, which is the site of a $35 million project called the MURDOCK study, having such a research center in their area makes economic and scientific sense. Standing for the "Measurement to Understand the Reclassification of Disease of Cabarrus/Kannapolis," the study plans to use biological data and samples to study the genomic links within and across conditions like osteoarthritis, obesity, and heart disease.
Currently, the samples being collected from the 11,000 area residents enrolled in the study are being housed in a biobanking facility in Kannapolis. However, the city sees this as just the beginning: with the help of the North Carolina Research Campus, an organization dedicated to using scientific innovation to help a community's economic prosperity, the city plans to draw businesses and construct new biobanking facilities over the next several years. This could have a significant impact on Kannapolis, which suffered after a major manufacturer left town. Will the MURDOCK study help them turn things around? Will Kannapolis be the site of the next great discovery in genetic research? Only time will tell.
Biobanking and freezer software is used for a number of worthwhile causes, including the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Due to a recent change, the Los Alamos National Laboratory may be able to put these applications to good use: the lab recently updated their bioinformatics software, allowing healthcare professionals, researchers, and other users to quickly identify diseases and choose the proper therapies for conditions like cancer. This would allow them to analyze millions of samples that have been gathered and stored using biobanking software, hopefully yielding some helpful information for treatments and more.
Founded during World War II, the Los Alamos National Laboratory is one of the largest science and technology institutions in the world. While it was originally created to design nuclear weapons as part of the Manhattan Project, the facility now conducts multidisciplinary research in a number of different fields, including nanotechnology, medicine, and renewable energy. As part of the lab's medical research, the facility decided to upgrade to the latest version of its software, Sequedex.
While laboratory software is typically associated with lab sample tracking or freezer inventory, Sequedex is used to recognize patterns in short DNA sequences. Once recognized, the system associates them with specific functions and phylogeny, or evolutionary relationships. Los Alamos scientists compare the program to a web browser search, but instead of accessing online documents, the bioinformatics software uses its search terms to connect patterns to previously-identified genomes and DNA sequences.
Sequedex can reportedly classify fragments 250,000 times faster than other methods, making it a potentially useful tool in the field of translational research. Defined as a way to improve individual and communal health by "translating" findings into diagnostic tools, medicines, procedures, policies and education, translational medicine could use Sequedex's software to analyze millions of samples currently being preserved in biobanks around the world. And with the number of tissue samples alone increasing by 20 million a year, not to mention the genetic, physical, lifestyle, and family data that typically accompanies these samples, the Los Alamos National Laboratory has plenty of information to use. Will this software update lead to the next big medical discovery, or even new therapies for common conditions? Only time will tell.
A significant part of scientific research is the collection of samples, collecting data, and drawing meaningful conclusions from that data. This might seem pretty straightforward, but anyone who has worked in a lab and overseen a high volume of samples knows that it isn't. One of the largest areas of research involves human samples, which require careful storing and inventory. At the turn of the century, there were more than 300 million tissue samples in biobanks in the United States alone, and that number grows by 20 million per year. Here's a short guide to biobanking, how it can be managed, and why management is so essential.
A biobank is basically just a repository for these samples to be collected in, stored in, and distributed from. These samples are biological materials like blood, plasma, purified DNA, saliva, and other specimens. Similarly, biobanks also hold such information and data as health records, genetic information, and lifestyle and family history. These are all stored for research in the medical and health fields.
Since there are so many samples and so much data, careful storage, freezer inventory, and careful management are essential. These samples are used for other research, so it's important that they stay organized, clearly labeled, well documented, and easily retrievable. These things are essential because research that uses these samples is often beneficial for the general public in the development of medications, procedures, diagnostic tools, education, and policies.
Managing all of these samples and the associated data is too big a job for people to do, especially since accuracy is so important. This is why the development and use of biobanking software is essential. There are a number of web enabled types of software which feature management tools like e-notebooks, instant messaging, sample tracking software, lab management systems, reference management, and scientific and general online collaboration platforms. Do you have any other questions about biobanking, management, or biobanking software? Feel free to ask us in the comments section. Read More

"I have traveled to every state in the U.S. during both summer and winter and have seen the land in extensive rural areas. There are huge land areas in this country that cannot be used for crops. The only way to grow food on these lands is grazing animals. Grazing done properly will improve the land. Defending Beef shows clearly that beef cattle are an important part of sustainable agriculture."—Temple Grandin, author of Animals Make Us Human and Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University
—Temple Grandin, author of Animals Make Us Human and Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University
The manifesto of an environmental lawyer and vegetarian turned cattle rancher
For decades it has been nearly universal dogma among environmentalists and health advocates that cattle and beef are public enemy number one.
But is the matter really so clear cut? Hardly, argues environmental lawyer turned rancher Nicolette Hahn Niman in her new book, Defending Beef.
The public has long been led to believe that livestock, especially cattle, erode soils, pollute air and water, damage riparian areas, and decimate wildlife populations.
In Defending Beef, Hahn Niman argues that cattle are not inherently bad for either the Earth or our own nutritional health. In fact, properly managed livestock play an essential role in maintaining grassland ecosystems by functioning as surrogates for herds of wild ruminants that once covered the globe. Hahn Niman argues that dispersed, grass-fed, small-scale farms can and should become the basis for American food production, replacing the factory farms that harm animals and the environment.
The author—a longtime vegetarian—goes on to dispel popular myths about how eating beef is bad for our bodies. She methodically evaluates health claims made against beef, demonstrating that such claims have proven false. She shows how foods from cattle—milk and meat, particularly when raised entirely on grass—are healthful, extremely nutritious, and an irreplaceable part of the worlds food system.
Grounded in empirical scientific data and with living examples from around the world, Defending Beef builds a comprehensive argument that cattle can help to build carbon-sequestering soils to mitigate climate change, enhance biodiversity, help prevent desertification, and provide invaluable nutrition.
Defending Beef is simultaneously a book about big ideas and the authors own personal tale—she starts out as a skeptical vegetarian and eventually becomes an enthusiastic participant in environmentally sustainable ranching.
While no single book can definitively answer the thorny question of how to feed the Earths growing population, Defending Beef makes the case that, whatever the worlds future food system looks like, cattle and beef can and must be part of the solution.

This fantastic day began with the Meets and Greets with the band in lobby bar of the Kiev hotel. Those fantastic moments are difficult to express by words. Peter and Wolf were so kind to sign all CDs and to take a lot of photos. Then i came to the venue, Stereo plaza club, there was a lot people singing songs, speaking to each other. Audience was pretty mixed, from 10-years old children to solid men over 50 with their wifes. Some hours waiting and i entered a hall, Wolf was just finishing soundcheck. Sound was great. I decided to stand in first row near barriers. After a short break, the lights dimmed, intro and taped part Hung, Drawn and Quartered played. A great intro for the band during Stalingrad tour. Then, cutting over the top was that familiar snapping snare from Stefan. The lights came up revealing Wolf, Peter and Herman bent over their guitars then Mark Tornillo walked on stage completeing the band, and the audience clapped and cheered, welcoming Accept in their very first show in Ukraine. The band ploughed through the first three numbers before taking a breath. Setlist was standart and pretty good. 4 songs from Stalingrad album, 4 songs from Blood of the Nations, other – only good old stuff from classic albums of 80's. While playing Stalingrad Mark came out with Ukrainian flag and then Herman broke string. What a powerful show! For me the highlights were Hung Drawn and Quartered, Stalingrad, Teutonic Terror, Monsterman, Princess of the Dawn. These 5 songs were worth the price of admission alone. Their speed and virtuosity simply blew me away. Wolf's guitar solo including Hall of the Mountain King was tremendous. During the bass solo in Princess, even barriers didn't stand for crowd's pressure and were totally broken. Peter saw this moment and asked people to move back and with smiling face continued to play for the extraordinary joy of crowd. Encores with Metal Heart, Teutonic Terror and Balls to the Wall were accompinied with five thousand voices singing and total madness. Wolf's guitar solo including Hall of the Mountain King was tremendous. By the way, it was total sold out and this fact added more pride for Kiev show. Everybody after the show was smiling and had a straining voice due to musical excitement. I liked new songs live, Mark is pretty good singer and frontman, Stefan, Herman, Peter, Wolf were fantastic. To sum it up, it was the best show i' ve ever seen and i thank Accept for it. Using the mobile application Accept by Mobile backstage i learned that guys also liked Kiev show and "definitely want to come back". That's fantastic and we are looking forward for a new show.
"Blind Rage" is Accept doing what Accept do best, powerhouse riff-laden melodic heavy metal. If it ain't broken…don't fix it. Easily a contender for album of the year.
Blind Rage is another strong addition to their canon, one fans of hard rock, thrash, and classic metal should be sure to check out.
Brilliant Video Review of ACCEPT BLIND RAGE By Coverkiller Nation, A fantastic display of pacing, songwriting and overall finesse.
First it was the Bulls, then the Lakers, and now ACCEPT. All of them can proudly list a three-peat on their résumés!!
Easily one of the top releases of the summer and this year and definitely a record that every metal fan should have!
It's heavy metal at its purest and very best – you can't help but keep on headbanging. Highly recommended. HardrockHaven.net
Blind Rage sees Accept continuing their march toward righteous, well-earned domination of the metal world. Metal Blast
Echoes and Dust – If you call yourself a heavy metal fan then you really don't have any excuse at all for not listening to this.

I have had more complements on the case than just about anything I have ever had. Love the Product! Ordering more!Read More

The wide square in front of the Dom always feels a bit deserted, apart from the tour buses and groups stopping to visit the church. In the pavement the foundations of the first church are marked.
Along two sides there are baroque buildings that have been restored already in DDR times. They are occupied by the government of the Federal State of Saxony-Anhalt. The largest building closest to the Dom is the Staatskanzlei, the seat of the prime minister. Others host ministries.
The ugly Plattenbau block that once filled the side towards Breiter Weg has disappeared and been substituted by modern office and shop buildings.

The origins of the Dom, Magdeburg's medieval cathedral, date around the year 1000 and are connected with Emperor Otto I. from the Saxon dynasty. In those times the land east of the Elbe was still in Slavic and thus pagan hands. To promote the mission and, of course, the conquering of the land Otto founded the Archbishopric of Magdeburg.
The cathedral has been extended and enlarged later on and is a huge gothic building. The two steeples in the west form a huge façade which is visible from afar, no matter from which direction you approach the city.
To beautify his church, Otto had original ancient Roman pieces transported here from the Mediterranean across the Alps and the whole of Germany. The baptismal font is a water basin made from Egyptian porphyry. The inner facades of the choir are decorated with marble columns from Ravenna. Why this effort? The Emperors of the medieval Holy Roman Empire saw themselves as the legit successors of the ancient Roman Caesars and Imperators. The use of ancient Roman architectural pieces transferred a bit of Rome to Magdeburg and made the political role of the Emperor visible.
The Dom contains the graves of Otto and his first wife Editha. Note the little house with their statues inside. These are not portraits and according to modern research depict Christ and either Mary or the Ecclesia rather than the imperial couple, nevertheless…
Magdeburg introduced the reformation in the 16th century and the Dom is a protestant church. It is, however, the metropolitan church of the Evangelical Church of the Saxon Church province (a former Prussian province that covers parts of Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, not to be confused with today's Saxony) and as such the church of a bishop. The catholic cathedral of Magdeburg, however, is a different church on the opposite side of Breiter Weg. Magdeburg is the seat of two bishops and has two cathedrals.
The adjacent cloister can be entered through the church and should not be missed. The buildings around the cloister are occupied by the church administration and contain offices.

Breiter Weg, the DDR Shopping Mall
The northern half of Breiter Weg, north of Ernst-Reuter-Straße, is a DDR shopping mall and a typical example of socialist architecture. The large building at its beginning with the windowless façade is the former department store Centrum, now taken over by the Karstadt chain. Further along, the wide street is flanked by large residential blocks in Plattenbau architecture with flat shop pavilions in front.
In 1990 the mall was rather run down. In the meantime most of the blocks have been restored. Nevertheless the shops that have moved in after the reunification are mostly cheapo crap and knickknack shops, 1-Euro-stores and similar. The better shops can instead be found in the new malls like Alleecenter and City Carré.

The Magdeburg Rider
The gilded equestrian statue is said to be a portrait of Emperor Otto I., the founder of the Bishopric and the city. The one in the old market square in front of the city hall is a copy. The original can be admired at Kulturhistorisches Museum.

Roland Statue
The Roland statue, a knight in armour presenting a sword, in front of the town hall has been reconstructed in 2005 on behalf of a private initiative, lead by the city's mayor. The original dated from 1589. Such Roland statues can be found in many cities of the North. They symbolize the independence and jurisdiction of these cities, most of which were members of the Hansa.

Main Post Office
This building was erected in different styles. The eastern side was made in Renaissance style, the western in neo-gothic. In front of the building you can park your car for free. This is a good advice as in most streets in the center you have to pay for parking.
Kiek in de Köken
At the Fürstenwall you find two towers. One was built in 1430 and is called "Hinter der Möllenvogtei" the other one one year later and is called "Kiek in de Köken" (=view in the kitchen). It derived its name from the excellent view in the kitchen of the archbishop.

Magdeburg Cathedral
The origins of the St Mauritius' and St Katharina's Cathedral date back to 937. King Otto I founded a Benedictine monastery on this site. After a fire in 1207, the reconstruction of the cathedral was commenced in 1209. This new cathedral was the first building in Germany possessing a Gothic ground-plan. The tomb of Otto I lies in the church.

Street furniture
I am always reading on VT "Look up!" but occasionally it's worth remember to "Look down!" You might see something interesting!
It maybe just a manhole cover, but someone took the trouble to design and make it, knowing full well people would just walk right over it! :)) There's all kinds of street furniture that we walk straight past, but often has interesting detail and information that goes unnoticed.
St Johanneskirche
Asking friendly locals for names and info about places doesn't always work. Sometimes you just have to do the legwork yourself (or ask a knowledgeable VTer like Nemorino :))
St Johanneskirche is the oldest parish church in Magdeburg. Originally built 1131 in Romanic style it was destroyed in the great city fire of 1207, then rebuilt in gothic style. The late gothic entrance hall was added in 1453. Martin Luther preached in this church in 1524; shortly thereafter Magdeburg became a center of Protestantism. It is used today as a multifunctional hall for events and meetings. (Oh and there is a statue of Luther
in front of the building).
Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall)
the history of The Old Town Hall goes back to the 12th or 13th century. It was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, and then rebuilt in the style of the Italian renaissance. The bronze door at the main entrance shows episodes of the history of Magdeburg.

DEFINITION of 'Credit Rating'
An assessment of the credit worthiness of a borrower in general terms or with respect to a particular debt or financial obligation. A credit rating can be assigned to any entity that seeks to borrow money – an individual, corporation, state or provincial authority, or sovereign government. Credit assessment and evaluation for companies and governments is generally done by a credit rating agency such as Standard & Poor's or Moody's. These rating agencies are paid by the entity that is seeking a credit rating for itself or for one of its debt issues. For individuals, credit ratings are derived from the credit history maintained by credit-reporting agencies such as Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Credit Rating'
Credit ratings for borrowers are based on substantial due diligence conducted by the rating agencies. While a borrower will strive to have the highest possible credit rating since it has a major impact on interest rates charged by lenders, the rating agencies must take a balanced and objective view of the borrower's financial situation and capacity to service/repay the debt.
The credit rating has an inverse relationship with the possibility of debt default. In the opinion of the rating agency, a high credit rating indicates that the borrower has a low probability of defaulting on the debt; conversely, a low credit rating suggests a high probability of default.
Credit rating agencies typically assign letter grades to indicate ratings. Standard & Poor's, for instance, has a credit rating scale ranging from AAA (excellent) and AA+ all the way to C and D. A debt instrument with a rating below BBB- is considered to be speculative grade or a junk bond.
Credit rating changes can have a significant impact on financial markets. A prime example of this effect is the adverse market reaction to the credit rating downgrade of the U.S. federal government by Standard & Poor's on August 5, 2011. Global equity markets plunged for weeks following the downgrade.
For individuals, the credit rating is conveyed by means of a numerical credit score that is maintained by Equifax, Experian and other credit-reporting agencies. A high credit score indicates a stronger credit profile and will generally result in lower interest rates charged by lenders.
