Hamilton boxer David Nyika wins gold
First Kiwi boxing Games gold since 1990IAN ANDERSON AND MATT RICHENS IN GLASGOW

The majority of the 10,000-strong crowd thought otherwise, but David Nyika knew better.
The teenaged Kiwi boxer won gold at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this morning with a unanimous points decision over Kennedy St Pierre of Mauritius in the men's light heavyweight (81kg) final.
The five judges from Belarus, Hungary, Wales, Canada and Denmark gave Nyika the win much to the disgust of the crowd, as a cacophony of boos rained down.
But while St Pierre may have been the more active, his furious blows rarely found an ever-moving target, with Nyika's stunning reactions defying a stream of attacks.
The 18-year-old from Hamilton was left to collect New Zealand's first Commonwealth boxing gold since 1990, when Michael Kenny won the super heavyweight division in front of a home crowd in Auckland.
"I didn't take too much of a beating there," a grinning, glistening Nyika told reporters soon after the three-round bout.
"The guy's a big, strong dude - he's throwing big punches from a long way away and I'm riding them.
"So it looks a little bit crazy."
The willowy Kiwi constantly swayed out of reach to frustrate his rival and the fans.
"Me swinging my body around, I think I might have put my back out," he joked.
"I'm real happy with the performance, I feel great, just stoked to have made it through five tough fights in just over a week of competing. I think I've lost about three or four kgs in the last week or so."
Adorned in all blue, Nyika looked to stave off his stalking rival in the first round among a charged atmosphere created by around 10,000 fans at the Hydro arena.
St Pierre regularly forced him back onto the ropes, but Nyika's long left arm and rapid reactions kept him mostly out of trouble.
The Mauritian continued to throw a lot of punches in the second round, but just as he looked like tiring and Nyika was getting on top, he tagged the Kiwi who quickly shook it off and celebrated with a wee first pump.
The judges had Nyika marginally ahead entering the third round, and both tired fighters continued to slug it out looking for the crucial edge as time ticked down.
Nyika said the crowd's reaction bothered him a little, even if it didn't show.
"I think the crowd likes to see people's noggins getting rocked," he said.
"But I didn't take a whole lot of damage - I was riding a lot of the shots. It may look like I'm taking big shots but I didn't get hit too much.
Nyika thought he may have been behind after the first round.
"He put on a lot of pressure and I was a bit shocked maybe.
"But in the second and third rounds I just rode all his power - rode it all over the show,"
Nyika was a late inclusion in the New Zealand team for Glasgow - after impressing in tournaments in Europe, he got in by winning his class at the North Island Golden Gloves tournament two months ago.
But the 1.91m fighter instantly looked at home in the ring in Glasgow.
He began his campaign with a split-decision win over South Africa's Luvuyo Sizani and improved on that with a unanimous decision over home nation favourite Scott Forrest.
He then beat India's Sumit Sangwan by the same manner in his quarterfinal before dispatching Northern Ireland's Sean McGlinchy in a dominant display over the last two rounds.
Nyika's fellow Kiwi pugilist David Light was next up and won silver after losing a split decision in the men's heavyweight final against Canada's Samir El-Mais on the last night of the boxing programme in Glasgow.
The first three bouts on the night's card were all won by English fighters.

ROME (AFP) - AC Milan legend Alessandro Costacurta has taken over as coach of Serie B side Mantova, the club said on Monday.
The 42-year-old, who played for Italy 59 times, scoring two goals, at centre-back, takes over from the sacked Giuseppe Brucato with Mantova in 13th place.
Costacurta spent 20 seasons at Milan, winning the European Cup and Champions League five times and the Italian league title seven times.
When he retired at the end of the 2006-07 season he remained as an unofficial second assistant coach to Carlo Ancelotti at Milan while he tried to attain his coaching badges.
He also worked for Sky Sport television as a football expert.
The biggest disappointment in his career came in 1994 when he missed both the Champions League final for Milan and the World Cup final for Italy due to suspensions.

We were taken here by friends and were not disappointed by the food or service. Plenty of choice both on ordinary menu and special menu. Would definitely eat here again.
Lovely food, good service, staff very attentive. This was a Sat afternoon, and was enjoyed by all Would def visit again.
This is a wee gem in Dumfries. Set overlooking the river Nith with plenty of parking, or just a quick walk over the bridge from town. The menu uses fresh local produce but places a fab cosmopolitan twist on them. There is something for everyone here & the wine menu has great choice too. A must try restaurant!!
Booked for early evening midweek, so restaurant was quiet, very welcoming and nice table overlooking the River Nith. Plenty to try on the sharing platter and the steaks we ordered were cooked to perfection. Huge bowl of wedges and nice wee salad. Bread & butter pudding disappointing, bit dry. Coffee nice, would have loved a free refill! Overall, great meal...
Just came on to write a review and I'm extremely surprised by the review below, I also was in Hullabaloo yesterday evening and could not fault both service or food. I couldn't believe how much the three lovely girls managed to do with the high demand from customers as well as keeping a smile on their face at the same...
Shocking service tonight, v sad after 15 years loving the restaurant badly let down by serving staff who just didn't seem to care and after main just gave up & "forgot" pudding/coffee orders.All staff too busy with cutlery to remember customers
This is a great wee place to eat! The food and service are top notch. Access this fabulous place to eat before a film or after a film in the most adorable little Robert Burns Centre Film Theatre (it feels like your are watching a film at home with a large family) which is situated below Hullabaloo.
Advice: book in...
Great food if you are looking for something different good portion size clean and friendly staff also cinema downstairs therefore you could make a night of it
Had a lovely meal with a friend here, quite unique menu, small & intimate setting. Food was very good with a different menu although quite highly priced. Would go back if wanting something different. Parking a slight issue.
Friendly staff, amazing food in a cosy relaxed atmosphere.
Hullubaloo does not disappoint, from start to finish the experience is extremely enjoyable.
The staff are very friendly, laid back and have a good knowledge of the menu. The food is most definitely out of this world, I can highly recommend the chicken dishes which are all cooked using organic, free...

Riwaka chef's hare is game for awards
Relevant offers
Harvest at the Riwaka Hotel has been named a finalist in the Monteith's Wild Food Challenge for the second year in a row.
The restaurant is one of only two repeat finalists in the revamped competition, which this year has 12 finalists compared with last year's six.
Head judge Kerry Tyack dined at Harvest yesterday and declared the hare dish "just beautiful".
Chef Brian Turley had created a dish he called Hare of the Dog, which was a smoked and beer poached leg of hare en croute with pan fried loin of hare, served with blue cheese and beer polenta, and a walnut and herb crusted rack with a cherry sauce and kale.
Tyack said some big city restaurants could be "a bit up themselves" but the dish that came out of the Riwaka kitchen "wouldn't be out of place on any menu in a big city".
Tyack said he was impressed by the level of thought and work that went into Turley's dish that involved a lot of different cooking techniques, overnight marinating of the hare leg and 17 ingredients on the plate.
"Look at the work, the mise en place, the various techniques - it's very tricky.
"I always say to the guys, winning is a feather in your cap, no doubt, but getting to one of 12 out of 122 entrants is a remarkable achievement because we have some tough, hard-nosed judges on our panels."
Turley said he decided to use hare because he used to cook it a lot when he worked in London and it was one of his favourite meats.
"It's got that strong game flavour which I thought would go well with the strong dark beer, which has chocolaty and coffee notes that I like."
Tyack said the key to the competition was that "the food's got to make the beer taste better" and Turley said he played off the beer's notes by including 72 per cent cocoa chocolate in the sauce.
The owner of the Riwaka Hotel, Justin Scott, said making the finals last year had resulted in a "huge spike and this year we've sold three times as many meals as last year".
Scott said Hare of the Dog will be back on the menu from Wednesday, August 20, until they have sold out of their order of hares.
The winner of the Monteith's Wild Food Challenge will be announced on September 11.

Thirty years ago, CITV was launched on ITV and would change the face of children's television. From Children's Ward to Dangermouse, Art Attack to Knightmare, and not forgetting the best of Saturday morning TV from Number 73 to SMTV Live and Ministry of Mayhem, CITV has been around long enough now to entertain two generations of kids. We'll take the stars of Coronation Street for a trip down memory lane as they remember their time on award winning drama Children's Ward. With contributors from the former stars of CITV including Ant and Dec, Holly Willoughby, Fearne Cotton, Stephen Mulhern, Michael Underwood, Christopher Biggins and Matthew Kelly, the only downside is that it's narrated by Vernon Kay.

15. A solenoid according to claim 7, wherein the winding support means comprises a radially extending widening which also forms an annular abutment surface against which at least one of the sleeves can come to bear.
16. A solenoid according to claim 7, including a further bearing sleeve arranged axially offset relatively to at least one of the sleeves.
17. A solenoid according to claim 15, wherein one of said sleeves is a bearing sleeve arranged in the winding support means to abut said widening provided on said winding support means.
18. A solenoid according to claim 1, including a magnetically operated valve in combination therewith to be operated by means of said solenoid.
19. A solenoid according to claim 18, wherein said value is constructed within said second end piece means.
The invention relates to an electromagnet (solenoid), more particularly a switch magnet and also a proportional magnet. The invention also relates to magnetically operated valves using such magnets. The magnet according to the invention can be constructed both as a pressure-tight magnet and also as a magnet operating in oil. The magnet according to the invention is suitable for clutch transmission or engine applications.
The invention concerns also more particularly an electromagnet with a housing in which a winding support supporting the magnet winding is arranged, with an armature which is mounted to be movable to and fro within the winding support, and which comprises at least one stem and with end pieces terminating the housing. For example the German laid-open specification No. 31 36 174.9 shows an electromagnet of this category wherein, for supporting the armature, use is made on the one hand of a plunger or stem and on the other hand a guide stud arranged on the armature. Stem and guide stud are guided in corresponding bearing sleeves. The armature itself is surrounded by sleeves, forming an air gap. This kind of bearing arrangement is relatively complicated, and also has the following disadvantages:
usually an eccentric air gap;
in the air gap magnetic particles (abraded particles) are drawn in by the magnetic field and jam the magnet;
expensive manufacture if the air gap is to be concentric;
high friction forces due to unilateral bearing loading, and as a result considerable hysteresis.
A further known possibility of supporting the armature proposes, in place of a guide stud and the associated sleeve, that the armature itself is provided with a bronze coating for sliding purposes at its end remote from the stem. The thickness of this layer of bronze then represents the constructionally desired air gap. In such a case one would be talking of a combined bearing arrangement, but the following disadvantages occur:
expensive manufacture, because of spraying-on and subsequent processing;
air gap present (abraded material causes jamming);
eccentric air gap possible still.
A further and already known bearing possibility for the armature proposes that the stem is not supported in bearing means, so that the associated sleeve is also dispensed with. Instead, the armature is coated with an antimagnetic bronze both at one end and at its other end. Again the following disadvantages occur:
expensive manufacture because of spraying-on and subsequent processing;
eccentric air gap almost unavoidable.
The invention has as its object to provide an electromagnet of the kind initially specified and also a magnetically operated valve operated by such an electromagnet, in such a manner as to obviate the disadvantages of the state of the art. More particularly the invention aims at providing an electromagnet and a magnetically operated valve in such a manner as to allow financially economical production and give an extremely low-friction bearing arrangement for the armature.
More particularly the measures indicated in the claims are proposed for solving the problem which the invention tackles.
Further advantages, aims and details of the invention will be apparent from particularly the description of constructional examples, with reference to the drawings. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 shows a magnetically operated valve constructed according to the invention, with an associated electromagnet constructed according to the invention, in section view in each case;
FIG. 2 shows a cross-section through a further electromagnet constructed according to the invention.
The magnetically operated valve 10 shown in FIG. 1 comprises substantially an electromagnet (solenoid) 11 with a built-on valve 12. The electromagnet 11 is preferably a proportional magnet.
The electromagnet (solenoid) 11 has a housing 6 in the form of a case into which is inserted a cylindrical former or winding support 34 which at one end abuts on a transverse wall 14 of the housing 6. With its opposite end the winding support 34 abuts on an end piece (pole core) 13, which with a transverse section 17 fits as regards diameter into the housing 6 and with a longitudinal section 18 projects into the hollow space formed by the winding support 34. Preferably the housing 6 is beaded-over about the transverse section 17 in order thus to hold the end piece 13 in a fixed position. Projecting from the transverse section 17 in the opposite direction from the longitudinal section 18 is a seating element 1 in which a longitudinal bore 41 is constructed and which can serve for fastening to a further component not shown here. Two transverse bores 39, 40 are arranged in the transverse section diametrally oppositely with respect to one another, and also continue through the housing 6.
Within the remaining space in the electromagnet 11 there is provided adjacently to the longitudinal section 18 of the end piece 13 an armature 9 which can move to and fro and is mounted to be capable of sliding. From the armature 9 a stem 3 extends into the longitudinal bore 41 of the end piece 13 and at its lower end in FIG. 1 has a valve cone 43 which co-operates with a sealing seat formed by the longitudinal bore 41.
In the view shown in FIG. 1 the armature 9 is in its energisation or operative position, which it takes up when the magnet winding 33 situated on the winding support 34 is supplied with electrical energy via the connecting lead 35. The armature 9 reaches the position shown in FIG. 1 after travelling over the distance 44, and at the end of this travel comes to abut against a non-magnetic stop disc 36 arranged at the inner end of the longitudinal section 18 of the end piece 13. The armature 9 can be moved into its position of rest, which is not shown, by spring means or the like which are also not shown.
Preferably the armature 9 is provided with for example two longitudinal grooves 31, 32 which allow throughflow of fluids, and in fact fluid can flow from the transverse bores 39, 40, when there is no bearing 50 and support for the armature in the sleeve 5, along the stem 3 and then through the said grooves 31, 32 in an upward direction, whence the fluid can issue through a bore 16 in a housing cover 7. When there is a bearing 50 and there is no sleeve 5, i.e. the nose 37 is part of the section 17, no oil can flow freely into the magnet space. The magnet space can only be filled with air or oil through the filter 2, so that no metallic dirt can enter the magnet. Housing cover 7 is arranged in an opening formed by a longitudinal wall 15, the longitudinal wall 15 projecting from the transverse wall 14 in the direction of the longitudinal axis 42 of the electromagnet. Radially inwardly of the longitudinal wall 15 the transverse wall 14 forms a surface for supporting the housing cover 7. When a bearing 5 is provided, the central bore 16 in the housing cover 7 contains a filter 2 which is secured by means of a fastening element in the form of a ring 8. The fluid can issue and enter through the filter 2 and the central aperture of the ring 8. When there is no bearing 5, there is no filter 2.
According to the invention an armature or yoke guiding means is provided in the form of a sleeve 4 which provides sliding bearing means for the armature 9. The sleeve 4 is preferably a so-called DU sleeve. A DU sleeve has preferably a copper-plated steel backing on to which a porous layer of tin bronze powder is sintered, whereupon the pores of the bronze are completely filled with a mixture of polytetrafluoroethylene and powdered lead. Although a DU sleeve is preferred according to the invention, the sleeve 4 for guiding the armature could equally well consist of a magnetic material coated with a synthetic plastic material at the side directed towards the armature 9.
Such sleeves have an exact coating and hence an exact concentric air gap.
The sleeve 4 is--as shown in FIG. 1--split and arranged securely within the bore formed by the transverse wall 14 and the winding support 34.
The sleeve 4 is so arranged that it is used to guide the armature and at the same time for redirecting magnetic flux. Thus the non-magnetic coating, preferably polytetrafluoroethylene, applied to the magnetically conductive supporting element or steel backing, forms the "air gap" towards the armature 9.
According to the invention there is arranged in alignment with the sleeve 4 a further bearing sleeve 5 which is spaced relatively to the sleeve 4. Between the two sleeves 4 and 5 a hollow space 38 exists, and at the upwardly directed end the bearing sleeve 5 is provided with a bevelled portion 37. In this way the preferably desirable properties of a proportional magnet are achieved.
Preferably the bearing sleeve 5 also is made from DU bearing material. Only the upper region of the bearing sleeve 5 which projects above the longitudinal section 18 towards the armature 9 can serve here for bearing purposes. Otherwise the bearing sleeve 5 is situated between the longitudinal section 18 of the end piece 13 and the inner periphery of the winding support 34.
Although DU sleeves and more particularly commercially conventional DU sleeves are preferred, the invention proposes quite generally sleeves 4, 5 made of magnetisable material which are coated with a sliding coating. As mentioned, it is possible according to the invention for the control edge required for operation of the proportional magnet to be incorporated directly in one sleeve, namely the DU sleeve 5. In the construction illustrated the DU sleeve 5 also performs guide tasks, since the length relationships are so adapted that when the armature 9 is fully pushed back (not shown in the drawings) that edge of the armature which faces towards the stem side does not leave the bore of the DU sleeve 5. Thus the DU sleeve 5 acts as an additional guide for the armature 9.
As has already been mentioned, the polytetrafluoroethylene coating of the sleeve 4 in addition to reducing friction can also perform the task of magnetic flux control in the magnet according to the invention. Usually this task is performed by an "air gap", and in this case this is replaced by the polytetrafluoroethylene coating.
The non-magnetic coating of the DU sleeve 4 has the same function. It should be pointed out again that it is not absolutely necessary to use commercially conventional DU sleeves, and instead the sleeves may also in principle be made from a magnetisable material lined with a suitable sliding coating.
In the constructional example shown in FIG. 1 a further bearing sleeve 50 is inserted in the longitudinal section 18 of the end piece 13, to provide guidance for the stem 3. The bearing sleeve 50 may also be a DU sleeve if required. If the bearing sleeve 50 is used there is no sleeve 5, and the nose 37 is part of the section 17 (as illustrated for the left-hand side of sleeve 5).
FIG. 2 shows a further constructional example of an electromagnet (solenoid) 21 constructed according to the invention. This electromagnet 21 has a housing 56 in the form of a case, into which a winding support 54 with its winding 33 is inserted, and in fact arranged between a housing cover 57 and an end piece or pole core 53. An armature 59 with its stem 63 is arranged slidably in a bore 69 within the cover 57 and also within the winding support 54. As in the constructional example shown in FIG. 1, the armature is in its excitation position. It can be displaced into its position of rest by spring means not shown. The stem 63 extends through a bore 71 in the end piece 53 and this time is not guided. However, a nonmagnetic stop disc 36 for the armature 59 is provided at the inner end of the bore 71. The housing 56 is beaded-over at its two ends in order thus to hold the housing cover 57 and the end piece 53. Suitable abutment surfaces for cover and end piece are formed in the inner wall of the housing 56, as illustrated. The armature 59 also has grooves 31, 32 which are not shown, or a throughflow bore.
A sleeve 64 rectangular in cross-section is arranged between the cylindrical inner wall of the cover 57 and the inner wall of the winding support 54 and the outer periphery of the armature 59. In more detail, the bore 69 widens to a bore 70 of larger diameter, forming an abutment surface 68 for the sleeve 64. The winding support 54 also comprises a radially disposed widening 66 which also forms an abutment surface 72 for the sleeve 64. The sleeve 64 consists preferably of DU bearing material, and is thus a so-called DU sleeve. But in principle the sleeve 64 may equally well be made of any magnetisable material provided with a corresponding sliding coating towards the armature 59. Axially aligned with the sleeve 64 in such a way as to leave a hollow space 65 between the sleeves is a further bearing sleeve 55 also situated in the bore formed by the winding support 54, and in fact it is arranged between the outer wall of the end piece 53 and the winding support 54. The upper end of the bearing sleeve 55 has a narrowed portion 67, the widening 66 of the winding support 54 being shaped correspondingly. This formation gives the circumstances needed for a proportional magnet. As already mentioned, the two electromagnets 11 and 21 which have been described are preferably proportional magnets, but they may also be constructed as so-called switch magnets. The two magnets 11, 21 and more particularly the magnetically operated valve shown in FIG. 1 may be used under oil. In such an event the magnetically operated valve 10 may be built into a transmission or an oil tank. Preferably the electromagnet conceived as a proportional magnet can also be used as a switch magnet. In this way it is possible to switch volume currents. With a proportional magnet an electrically controllable pressure limiting valve is obtained.
Although electromagnets according to the invention with DU bearing sleeves 4, 5, 64, 55 are also suitable particularly for oil-less operation, it should be pointed out that the magnet concept according to the invention is also particularly suitable for dry operation (air, gases), since in fact DU sleeves do have particular advantages also for oil-less working.

Schmuhl International Commodity moves, expands to quadruple its capacity
- David Twiddy

(Page 3 of 3)
Chris Gutierrez, president of KC SmartPort, said the Schmuhls' expansion provides another outlet for the region's export agricultural market. And unlike the BNSF Railway Co.'s Kansas City Intermodal Facility under construction in Southern Johnson County, the Schmuhl facility is almost open.
Grain exporting giant The DeLong Co. is among the tenants in the new BNSF facility.
Gutierrez said the Schmuhl facility's need for shipping containers to fill with commodities could provide a much-needed magnet for steamship importers. Many importers previously ignored Kansas City because the region wasn't viewed as producing enough exports to keep the containers moving.
"Now we'll be able to balance that," he said. "You'll see more steamships commit import containers to Kansas City because now there's a balance of export containers going right back out."
Ty Schmuhl said the new facility will operate with the same 25 workers now handling the truck-only operations. But he said that as the rail operations ramp up, he expects to add shifts and that would require more workers.

Marie writes: The late John Alton is widely regarded as being one of greatest film noir cinematographers to have ever worked in Film. He perfected many of the stylized camera and lighting techniques of the genre, including radical camera angles, wide-angle lenses, deep focus compositions, the baroque use of low-level cameras and a sharp depth of field. His groundbreaking work with director Anthony Mann on films such "TMen" and "Raw Deal" and "He Walked by Night" is considered a benchmark in the genre, with "The Big Combo" directed by Joseph H. Lewis, considered his masterpiece. John Alton also gained fame as the author of the seminal work on cinematography: "Painting with Light".

Rarely does a TV show arrive with lower expectations than the annual Emmy Awards telecast. It's a given that the thing will suck. Even so, this year's -- the 64th -- managed to come up short and disappoint. And it wasn't one of those "so bad it's good" campy things you can enjoy making fun of, either. It was more like one of those "so bad it's lousy" things that leave you incredulous and drained of the will to live.

Domkirke: the choirstalls
The Chapel of the Magi and the instricately-carved Medieval choir stalls were, for me, the highlight ofmy visit to the domkirke.
I love Medieval wood-carvings...they tell us so much not only about the fashions of the time in which they were carved but also about the 'world-view' held by ordinary folk. You can learn an awful lot about daily life and beliefs just by studying carvings on Medieval choirstalls.
Those in the Domkirke are rather special. As well as the usual misericords (carvings under the small drop-down seat provided as a mercy (miseri) to the monks who had to attend long services during the night) and the carvings at the ed of the stalls themselves there are a whole series of intricate panels set over each stall. the panels show scenes form the Bible, from Creation to Judgement Day, half from the Old Testament and half from the New Testament. Those scenes fascinated me and I looked closely at all of them. I especially loved the way the woodcarver had to set the faces of some characters at a 90 degree angle simply to fit them into the panel!
The choir stalls date from the early 1400s and were originally set in a U-shape around the tomb of Margete l. Do look out for them: they are special and not to be missed, even if the main visitor focus is on the royal tombs nearby.

Domkirke: royal tombs, ghost horses and trolls.
Apart from the beautiful Medieval 'Chapel of the Magi', the Domkirke has seven other royal chapels plus other nooks and crannies to explore.
You'll find royal burials and tombs in most of the side-chapels and crypts. Some have elaborate and intricately-decorated tombs or sarcophagi, some have very plain ones: fashions changed over the centuries. Wander as you please: each chapel has its own interest and, apart from the excellent guidebook you get free on entry, you'll find English language information dotted about.
In the ambulatory at the far end of the nave look for the plain black stone 'tomb of the ghost horse'. The ghost horse had three legs and eyes like red-hot coals. If you met it, you would die so it's just as well that it's long been safely buried in the Domkirke! Apparently, people used to spit on the gravestone when they passed it.
And don't forget to spot the troll in the metalwork gate leading to Trolles Kapel. This was originally a chapel dedicated to Saint Sigfried, dedicated in 1405, but in the 1600s it was taken over as the family chapel and burial vault of the wealthy Trolles family. Hence the troll in the (fairly modern?) gate.......

Domkirke: Helligtrekongers Kapel
The Domkirke has many side-chapels but this one appealed to me most simply because it is so very old.
The 'Chapel of the Magi' dates from the mid-1400s and was built during the reign of King Christian 1, intended as the burial place of that king, his queen, Dorothea, and their descendants. The chapel walls are decorated with lovely and intricate frescoes of the period, including Nativity and Cricifxion scenes, and is worth visiting just for that.
The chapel contains two huge tombs, created by dutch atists in the Renaissance period and housing the remains of Christian lll (died 1559) and Frederik ll (died 1588). They do rather overwhelm the chapel and...like the other royal tombs..one is kept at a distance. But it is still possible to see enough of the frescoes to fully enjoy them.
The markings made on the central pillar, set on a beautifully-carved Romanesque stone base which dates from the 1100s, are an oddity of the chapel. For some reason, the height of various royal visitors over the centuries was marked on the pillar. One of the 'visitors' (Christian 1) appears to have been a giant of a man, measuring 219.5cm (over 7 feet!)...but it turns out that, although he was a tall man, this height was actually a mistake made in later centuries. In 1581 Frederik ll wanted to mark the height of Christian on the pillar, but they only measured the length of the coffin and not the skeleton it contained. :-)
If you only visit one chapel in the Domkirke this must be it. It's the first on the right after the entrance.

Domkirke: the Chancel
There are some beautiful things to see in this ancient and important part of the church.
I was very taken with the delicately-carved alabaster (?) sarcophagus of Queen Margrete l. It dates from 1423. Margrete died in 1412 and was originally buried in her family's small chapel in Soro, but her body was moved to Roskilde the following year. Her sarcophagus was created and set in place in 1423, with three days of ceremony. The many small figures which surround its base now are not originals. Those were removed in the 1700s (some are on display in the cathedral museum) and rpelaced by copies in the 19th and early 20th century.
Several other kings and queens are buried in this part of the church but I was particularly intrigued by the monument to Duke Christopher, Margrete's brother, who died in 1363. It is a child-sized replica of a knight in full armour, carved from alabaster and originally inlaid with precious gems. At some point in the past, and for an unknown reason (safe-keeping because of the gems?) it was broken into pieces and stored in a wooden chest. In 1878 it was reconstructed and put back on display, although the gems (if they still existed) were replaced with coloured glass.
Both sarcophagus and memorial are difficult to photograph because one is not allowed to get too close.
Under the chancel is the Royal Children's crypt, dug out in 1690. It's sad to think that a special burial place was needed for royal children.

Do allow more time than you think you'll need to explore Roskilde's Domkirke. It doesn't look very large but there is a vast amount to explore inside.
There was a wooden church on this site from the 900s, replaced by two stone versions in the 1000s. Around 1100 a stone wall was built around the second stone church and its remains were found during archaeological excavations in 2010. It underlies the existing walls which surround the church...the size of the area has not changed in 900+ years.
the present brick building was started in 1170, when Absalon was Bishop. Bricks were new to Denmark at the time, and that is almost certainly why they were used to build something 'to the glory of God'. There are elements of both Romanesque and Gothic architecture in the earliest building, though it is nowhere near as ornate as many of the churches and cathedrals of similar age i have seen elsewhere. In some ways brick is not as malleable as stone.
It took about 100 years to build the first version of the existing church and, of course, there have been changes and additions over the subsequent centuries. The most extensive of these changes happened in the 1200s, when the original plans for chancel towers and transepts were substantially amended.
Various chapels have been added to the main structure over the years, the most recent being for the burial of King Frederik lX in 1985.
I'll make separate tips for specific aspects of the church which particularly interested me, but do make sure you are at the entrance end of the nave when the hour approaches. Look up and you will see a most wonderful clock, dating from the 1400s. St George kills the dragon (which makes an horrendous wailing sound) whilst Peter Dover strikes the hours on his large bell and Kirsten Kimer (who strikes the quarter hours on her much smaller bell) shakes her head.
It's an exquisite piece of workmanship and unique in Denmark. The only problem is that it is set high on the wall, so unless you've got a good zoom on your camera (or binoculars) it's difficult to see the detail.
The Domkirke is open for visiting on most days from 1000, although it is closed on Monmdays and visiting hours vary according to month. you can see the calendar and the hours clearly set out on the website below.
Adult entrance costs 60 DKK (as of August 2014) and for that you also get an excellent, and very detailed, guidebook in Danish and English.

Viking Ship Museum
Allow yourself plenty of time to enjoy this place. As well as the purpose-built hall which houses the five Viking ships which were discovered in Roskilde fjord there are interesting displays about how the Vikings explored and traded, a very pleasant cafe with Viking (and other) dishes, lots and lots of boats...including the replica Viking longship 'Sea Stallion', which has made many real-life long voyages...and several craftspeople demonstrating various Viking crafts (who and what varies through the week, more at weekends). Oh...and there are boat trips too.
There's a fascinating video of the Sea Stallions voyage to Ireland. You watch it while sitting in a replica longship and, believe me (and regardless of the fact that the modern-day crew wore modern-day clothing and lifejackets) it's very clear indeed what a tough and, at times, very risky journey it was. Not to mention having to sleep on deck, crumpled up between the oars wherever they could find space. It makes you realise what magnificently skilful sailors the Vikings were...and just how tough they were as well.
When I visited some young students were just returning from what I think was a camping trip somewhere. Watching them steer their way into the harbour using the oars in a small version of a longship also made me realise that rowing a big boat as part of a team is not as easy as it looks!
You'll obviously find the museum down by the coast. It's about 15 minutes' walk from central Roskilde, perhaps 25 minutes from Roskilde railway station, through the green and pleasant Byparken and signposted along the way. There's ample parking if you come by car. Bus 203 runs from the railway station to the museum.
The museum is open Monday to Sunday 10.00 - 16.00 Entrance fees vary according to the time of year and whether special activities are on offer....it cost me 115DKK in August 2014.

To begin at the beginning: Hestetorvet
If you arrive by train you'll cross the large open marketplace of Hestetorvet, which lies directly opposite Roskilde's oddly-Tuscan railway station.
This large open market area has existed at least from the Middle Ages and was for both horses and cattle. A market is still held there on Wednesdays and Saturdays but it's no longer for livestock. It's just for everything else you might expect in a modern European outdoor market: fruit & vegetables, household goods, foodstuffs, crafts, clothes etc etc. Concerts and other community events are also held there.
The three giant vases in the 'square' (it isn't a square, more like a rhomboid) were created by Peter Brandes and were put in place to mark Roskilde's millennium in 1998.
Where the 'square' joins Store Grabrodrestraede, the main pedestrianised street, there's a rather nice granite fountain carved with horses. It looks old but in fact it only dates from 1945.

We weren't sure what to expect here but decide to pay the $8.00 each to enter. It turned out to be so much more than we expected. This is where most of the Kings and Queens of Denmark have been buried for the past 1000 years. It has been declared a World Unesco site...and easy to understand why..
So much art work here..many by famous sculptures. it took us a good hour to see it . The church itself was built in the 1400s and is massive. Beautiful frescos , and gilded Royal seating boxes, marble ...paintings . Truly amazing.

Amazing Viking Ships
We arrive early and since it's off season ...September things are sleepy.
Finally at 10 AM we enter .It cost about $20.00 for a ticket but to us it was well worth it . We spent 2 hours here and really enjoyed it . we watched the short film first and then took a look at the 5 remains original Viking Ships. it's really unbelievable that so much could endure that many years and under water. It took 25 years to piece them back together.
We strolled around reading the stories of the history of the Vikings ....and seeing some interesting artifacts that were discovered in the area.

This morning we head out early to see the Viking ships in Roskilde. we are still using the 24 hour train ticket from yesterday for the bus then the train....amazing.
Not much open when we arrive so we make our way to the Viking Museum and sit admiring the huge Viking ship , that has been recreated in Dublin ,at the mooring . it's quite impressive.

We walked from the old town, down the hill and to the water where the Viking Museum was located.
We had thought about going, but found out it WASN'T INCLUDED in our Copenhagen Card.
We had previously seen a Viking Museum in Oslo, so we weren't that worried on missing this one!
Instead, we had a look around the outside at the Boats for free, and then went exploring more of Roskilde.
If you are interested, it is OPEN....

A museum we visited was Roskilde Museum. The permanent exhibition is one of the largest local history collections. In here, we learnt about Roskilde city's cultural history, and even saw findings from Stone Age.
The Museum was ok, I didn't think anything outstanding. Probably would have been easier and more enjoyable if it had English sub-titles.

Roskilde Cathedral, how can you miss it, you can't, as it can seen from miles around! It is located on a rise in Roskilde, and has two copper plated towers and tall spires.
It's also situated in the medieval part of the city and is believed to be one of the first major buildings built.
This Cathedral isn't the original. As with many, it took the place of several wooden churches that once stood here.
The cornerstones of this twin-spired cathedral was laid by Bishop Absalon, [the founder of Copenhagen]. The Cathedral was built out of red bricks around 1170, Scandinavia's first Gothic cathedral to be built of brick. There has been additions over the years. Porches and Chapels have been added to the main building in different architectural designs, so now it incorporates both Gothic and Romanesque architectural design.
Since the 1536, Roskilde Cathedral has been the mausoleum and burial place for 40 Danish Kings and Queens.
It's an amazing sight inside the Cathedral and I must see.
In 1995 the cathedral was included in UNESCO's list of the world's inalienable cultural treasures.

Greyfriars Cemetery is quite close to the Railway station, and is worth a look at.
It is very different to other cemeteries, as the headstone's are hidden behind well trimmed small hedges, in locations anywhere on the lawn. The Franciscan chapel was built in 1855, replacing a larger Church. You look down to the Church along a pathway lined with trees.
Everything here is in a pretty, park-like setting.

Roskilde Palace is next door to the Cathedral, just look for the bright golden yellow building.
It was built in the 1730's and still operates in part as a Bishop's Palace. The Palace is made up of four wings, and the Absalon Arch joins the Palace and Roskilde Cathedral. The Palace was the residence of the Royal family when they were passing through or attending royal funerals. It also was where the historic meeting took place of the Assembly of the Realm, that resulted in the Danish Constitution.
I walked around the inner courtyard, then we headed into the Museum in the Palace.
The Palace Garden is used for exhibitions, concerts and other cultural events.
