Europe faces an interesting set of immigration challenges and opportunities: Demographic pressures as many European societies age, a lively and at times tense policy and political debate over questions of identity and immigrant integration, and a unique policy environment that has knit 28 European countries together with regards to the management of outer borders, asylum, and other immigration-related topics. MPI has long conducted research and analysis of European policy on topics ranging from labor mobility and border security to immigrant integration, citizenship, and foreign qualifications recognition, which can be found below.
As the European Union seeks to implement a Common European Asylum System, these publications and multimedia resources from MPI and MPI Europe examine asylum policy and humanitarian flows to Europe and elsewhere around the world.
Following a bitterly contested vote in Parliament, Germany's president has signed the nation's first immigration law.
Fewer opportunities may await asylum seekers in France, where stricter policies are overlapping with strained resources.
Though roundly defeated in the French presidential elections, the extreme right may continue to influence French immigration policy.

What is Grail?
Groovy Realtime Archive Internet Lookup == GRAIL
This "grail" ideas are not related to the Grails web application framework.
What does it do?
Check IRC log below
The idea is to have something like RubyGems or CPAN for Groovy automating the resolution of dependencies on external jars, and downloading them automatically , the end of jar hell.
A list of potential features
- Dynamic class loading without using import statements...
- Maven repository support, with local/mirrors support,
- virtual mavens repos (a repository that does not exists, but is presented as such by an index that can point to any jar, i.e. for Sourceforge based files, or other non ibiblio based jars)
- Support for version resolution, scoping
- Jar integrity verification
- the base for doing it: http://www.pmilne.net/Launcher/
Going forward
After a chat with Phil Milne, the author of Launcher.java, we could use his code as a base. He is also in!
The project could be called Jail (Java Archive Internet Lookup) instead of Grail, because it would be for any java environments, not only Groovy.
The license would be a simple MIT style license.
Maybe hosted at Codehaus?
Grail Genesis : the Groovy 1.0 Beta 7 Release Process IRC logs...
08:36 <tug> Jstrachan: can you put the embeddable jar on the ftp download area, once built.
08:37 <jstrachan> happy
08:37 <Guillaume> we should also distribute this artifact as well
08:38 <jstrachan> you mean in the dist.codehaus.org/groovy/jars area?
08:40 <Guillaume> I guess so along the groovy.jar so that ppl can just choose one single jar with everything included
08:43 <Guillaume> perhaps a sub-project, like xml-rpc I guess (for the xml-rpc.jar) with reactor?
08:43 <jstrachan> good idea
08:43 <jstrachan> hmm, no the subproject only gets copied into the binary distro not as a separate jar AFAIK
08:44 <tug> After build it creates target/embedable/groovy-all-xxx.jar
08:44 <tug> Include that jar file on it's own, in the ftp area, for ease of fetching...
08:44 <pombreda> Guillaume: instead of having one big jar, what about somethng like maven/ibiblio integration? something like RubyGems http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl or CPAN?
08:45 <jstrachan> we've got the repo, maven, we just need to use in in a clever way
08:45 <jstrachan> I friend of mine has done a cool class loader to do this... http://www.pmilne.net/Launcher/
08:45 <Guillaume> pompreda, the big jar includes the asm jars into one big groovy+asm
08:46 <tug> Jez says: Can we put the bloglines example in the groovy src examples dir...
08:46 <Guillaume> tug-jez, good idea!
08:46 <Guillaume> we'd need to add the http-client jar to the dependencies
08:47 <jstrachan> lets do that next release - its been chugging for 30 mins already
08:46 <pombreda> Guillaume: but for stuffs like xml-rpc getting based on Maven... integrated in Groovy... would be way cool.
08:48 <jstrachan> it'd be cool to just type : x = new com.foo.something.Whatever()
08:48 <jstrachan> and for it to just work, downloading whatever it needs
08:48 <pombreda> Yehaa! happy)) that would rock!
08:48 <Guillaume> what if there are two com.foo.something.Whatever ? with three different releases?
08:49 <jstrachan> you setup rules for versions
08:49 <Guillaume> yeah, nobody reads the reports... useless
08:49 <jstrachan> e.g. use latest production relases or for 'foo' use version '1.2.3' latest production release is fine for most people plus we should include metadata in the manifest of the versions we depend on so dependent jars should match the release of each project
08:51 <Guillaume> and if groovy requires a specific version, but the script you're running would require another one?
08:51 <jstrachan> things could certainly get nasty
08:51 <pombreda> I would rather get a ganifest than an ugly xml manifest?
08:51 <jstrachan> but you could do a nice simple
08:52 <jstrachan> versionScope
08:52 <jstrachan> versionScope
08:52 <jstrachan> etc
08:52 <jstrachan> versionScope
08:52 <jstrachan> etc
08:52 <Guillaume> hmmm... with a specific classloader for the scoped stuff?
08:52 <jstrachan> yep
08:52 <Guillaume> in its own thread,
08:53 <jstrachan> threads don't matter, its the classloader that does
08:53 <Guillaume> interesting idea
08:53 <jstrachan> all the Launcher is, above, is a classloader that auto-downloads stuff it needs
08:53 <jstrachan> would be trivial to add to groovy
08:53 <jstrachan> expecially for use in IDEs / consoles
08:53 <jstrachan> where you just wanna script something quick
08:53 <jstrachan> and not spend most of the time setting the goddamned classpath
08:54 <jstrachan> I'm sure it'd be easy to make a versionScope() thingy introspectable, so you could enquire the versions your using etc
08:54 <pombreda> and include some auto Md5 verif
08:56 <pombreda> jstrachan, Guillaume: this idea rocks... the end of jar hell unhappy(
08:59 <pombreda> what about a name for the version/jar loader? GRAIL
08:59 <pombreda> Groovy Realtime Archive Internet Lookup == GRAIL
08:59 <precipice> ha!
08:59 <Guillaume> pombreda, that sounds like the French verb "grailler" happy
09:00 <jstrachan> happy
09:00 <jstrachan> or just 'groovy' happy
09:00 <pombreda> Guillaume, it would eat jars, would it? "grailler"== eating in slang
09:00 <brianm> WOOT
09:01 <brianm> you talking the go-get-jar-from-maven at runtime thing?
09:01 <jstrachan> yes
09:01 <jstrachan> happy
09:01 <brianm> GRAIL is perfect
09:01 <jstrachan> I'm sold!
09:01 <brianm> heh, better than "go get" use a remote classloader
09:01 <Guillaume> the holy grail cheesy
09:01 <jstrachan> happy
09:01 <Guillaume> who's going to implement taht?
09:01 <brianm> Sun already did
09:01 <Guillaume> wasn't there someone supposed to have been working on it?
09:02 <jstrachan> it shouldn't take long to wire the launcher into the shell / console etc
09:02 <brianm> parsing out maven paths will be tricky =)
09:02 <jstrachan> it does this already
09:02 <brianm> the package -> project mapping is doable though
09:02 <jstrachan> its already done, check the link above
09:05 <pombreda> about GRAIL: some issue: ibiblio/maven is so unreliable... it is down every now and then ...
09:06 <jstrachan> mirrors
09:06 <brianm> should check local maven repo first
09:06 <jstrachan> maven supports mirroring of repos, or have your own local mirror of projects you're interest in etc
09:06 <pombreda> good point.
09:08 <pombreda> that could call for a project.groovy rather than a project.xml...
09:44 <pombreda> brian: about GRAIL, you said earlier : Sun already did. could you elaborate?
09:44 <brianm> the remote classloader
09:44 <brianm> all we need to do is figure out url for jars
09:44 <jstrachan> the Launcher implementation trawls the maven repo to build up indices AFAIK
09:47 <pombreda> but does'nt remote class loader runs has security constraints?
09:53 <pombreda> briaim: AFAIK: remote class loader can only originate jars from the same code base as the app.
09:53 <pombreda> Check http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/extensions/spec.html
19:52 <pombreda>Guillaume: about GRAIL, I will start a page in the Groovy space, and post an edited IRC log. OK?
19:53 <Guillaume>okey dokey
19:53 <Guillaume>you want to work on that?
19:54 <pombreda>yep. why not? we call it GRAIL or Grail?
19:54 <Guillaume>not too many caps
19:54 <Guillaume>you're welcome to work on anything you like
19:54 <pombreda>So? which one?
19:56 <oni> what is GRAIL?
19:58 <pombreda>oni: Groovy Realtime Archive Internet Lookup == GRAIL
19:59 <oni> pombreda and what does it do?
20:00 <pombreda>oni: check today's IRC log at : http://servlet.uwyn.com/drone/log/hausbot/groovy
20:00 <pombreda>the idea is to have something like RubyGems or CPAN for Groovy
20:01 <pombreda>automating the resolution of dependencies on external jars , the end of jar hell

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. — Tahoe Youth Ballet presents its fourth annual winter repertory season featuring local and guest artists in the beloved Frank Sinatra Showroom in the Cal Neva Resort. The evening is a celebration of women's roles in dance, including the second act of the classic "Giselle" and a new work, "Into the Trees," created by Tahoe Youth Ballet dancers in collaboration with guest dancers and choreographers.
"The evening is a celebration of archetypal women's roles in dance; the subtlety of the early romantic era juxtaposed with the raw expression of emotion through contemporary movement in the new collaboration, 'Into the Trees,'" said Christin Hanna, Tahoe Youth Ballet's founding artistic director. "To compare the two in this way is interesting, in the second piece we may seem closer to savages than the corseted, proper formality of 1848."
The program will feature guest artists Ted Seymour (Kennedy Center's Suzanne Farrell Ballet), Deborah Lohse (ad hoc ballet, New York), Tahoe Youth Ballet alumna Sierra Barter (currently studying at the Ailey School) and Christin Hanna.
This season's premiere of the second act of "Giselle" marks the company's first staging of a classical work. "Giselle," composed by Adolph Adam and choreographed by Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot, received its premiere at the Ballet du Theatre de l'Academie Royale de Musique in Paris in 1848 and remains largely unchanged. The ballet tells the story of a peasant girl Giselle whose ghost, after her premature death, protects her lover from the vengeance of a group of evil female spirits called wilis.
Tahoe Youth Ballet's production of this romantic-era classic features founding company members Camille Joubert in the role of Giselle, Sierra Walsh as Myrtha (queen of the wilis) with guest artist Ted Seymour as Albrecht, Giselle's lover. Another highlight is local artist Brian Ore's scenic design, marking a unique artistic collaboration among visual and performing artists in Lake Tahoe.
Also on the program is the world premiere, "Into the Trees," a collaborative project the dancers of the company created alongside guest choreographers Valerie Salgado and Deborah Lohse. Lohse will appear in the work along with Sierra Barter and Christin Hanna. Cellist Zoe Keating's compositions accompany the tribe of women in the piece; art imitates life as the elders ingratiate the "green" dancers into the ways of their tribe. However, the steps themselves are not the only part the dancers had a say in creating. Throughout the process, the dancers named the piece and designed both costumes and storyline. This process has been documented on video (available to view at Tahoe Youth Ballet's website and Facebook page) and in the Sierra Sun as part of a series of columns entitled "A Dancer's Diary." Funding for this project has been provided, in part, by the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation.
Another addition to this season's performances are new dancers. Tahoe Youth Ballet welcomes new company members Sierra Bertini and Zoe Thompson as well as 12 young dancers from the company's new apprenticeship program. Chelsea Austin, Kristen Gallant, Piper Joubert, Marissa Kamenetsky, Rachel Meyer, Sarah Mowris, Olivia Parkhill, Jane Nall, Kyla Pierce, Annie Thompson, Bryce Walsh and Kaylee Ward, from throughout North Lake Tahoe and Truckee, will perform with the company for the first time.
Tahoe Youth Ballet premiered in June 2009 and has presented performances featuring works created for the company and stagings of works from professional companies from contemporary choreographers. The company continues to work toward its mission to enrich the cultural and educational fabric of Lake Tahoe by offering the finest training and performing opportunities to the area's young dancers, enjoyed by our community as a viable cultural asset.
For additional information, please contact Tahoe Youth Ballet, 530-613-4363 or email@example.com.

The University of Alaska is a formidable asset for the state of Alaska. Our robust university statewide campus system is fundamental to regional growth and economic development. The University of Alaska's purpose is to inspire and motivate learning, critical thinking, citizenship, and to engage students in pursuing a broad array of knowledge through faculty teaching excellence and world class research. We must also remain in the forefront of public service. We shall continue our strong institutional emphasis on the North, learning from the fascinating lessons contained in its history, preserving the rich knowing ways and experiences of its native peoples, mastering its geophysical challenges, and capitalizing on the splendid opportunities it beckons us to address. These core competencies focus us on our mission and will always remain UA's top academic and research priorities.ĀĀ
As a university system, the value we bring to Alaska depends on the quality of our graduates. Our formula for success combines a premier workforce development regimen at our community campuses, with an open college enrollment offering, to create an articulated path right up to and through baccalaureate education. In addition, we have incorporated world-class research opportunities for students at every level of study along the way. Remaining relevant today, within the high tempo environment created by technology throughout post-secondary education, will continue to require heavy lifting on the part of every one of us in order to meet and exceed student expectations. It is a real privilege to work alongside you in that endeavor.

Lewis was ordered off the ballot by New Jersey's Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State Kim Guadagno on April 25, 2011, because of Lewis' residency conflicts. [1] As a result, Lewis sued the State of New Jersey and Secretary of State Kim Guadagno. [2] Due to the extended nature of his lawsuit, his name was not officially removed from primary ballots mailed to vote-by-mail individuals. On May 5, the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Lewis's name must remain on the ballot until the constitutionality of New Jersey's residency requirements can be determined by a federal judge.[3] As of September 13, Lewis was ordered back on the ballot as a result of a 2-1 federal court decision.[4]
Carl Lewis Biography
Lewis is a nine-time Olympic gold medalist in Track and Field. In 1983, Lewis won the first three of his eight World Championship Gold Medals at the Track and Field Championships in Helsinki, Finland. The following year, he captured four Olympic Gold Medals at the Summer Games in Los Angeles. His career as a track and field champion continued through 1996. In all, he won nine Gold Medals of an overall 10 Olympic medals. Lewis as named Olympian of the Century by Sports Illustrated and Sportsman of the Century by the International Olympic Committee. In light of his achievements, Lewis founded the Carl Lewis Foundation, a charitable endeavor with a special focus on youth physical education and fitness. He has also served as a volunteer track-and-field coach at his alma mater, Willingboro High School.
Lewis attended the University of Houston.
Campaign themes
On his campaign website, Lewis lists these issues as his "Agenda for Change":[5]
- Make New Jersey More Affordable - "I will call on the Legislature to impose a freeze on state government spending, as well a requirement that all departments and agencies justify every taxpayer dollar they plan to spend. I will also support efforts to end duplication in government, erasing the multiple layers of bureaucracy through "shared services" among counties and municipalities."
- Establish a "Gold Standard" for NJ Schools - "One of my top priorities is to help create a first-rate learning environment for students - an environment of high standards that inspires them through discipline, creativity, hard work and positive reinforcement - an environment of excellence that prepares them to compete in a global economy."
- Reward Teachers on Performance, Not Longevity - "I support teacher-tenure reform that rewards high-performing and creative teachers; they should be judged on performance, not the amount of time spent on the job."
- Make School Choice an Option for Families - "I strongly believe that families should have a choice in where their children attend school. They should be granted that opportunity through public school voucher programs that offer alternatives for families seeking a better education for their children."
- Provide a Better Quality of Life For Seniors - "I will fight to maintain their tax rebates and extend other assistance when required. And I will work to make sure that programs intended to reduce their costs for health-care and prescription drugs are preserved. While balancing the budget is important, we should not achieve that on the backs of the most economically vulnerable of our citizens, including seniors, the young, veterans, and the working poor."
- Create Jobs And Incentives for Economic Growth - "I will promote policies that create a positive environment for both large companies and small businesses to flourish in New Jersey. We need to provide incentives for new businesses to open in the state, and for existing businesses to remain and expand, creating thousands of new jobs for our citizens."
- Improve Health Through Physical Fitness and Nutrition - "I will champion efforts in the Legislature to create and promote programs that teach the imperatives of good nutrition and physical fitness. A healthier lifestyle will help boost the accomplishments of our young people both in the classroom and on the athletic fields, as well as help make them more successful in their careers."
- Promote a New Environment of Political Civility and Bi-Partisanship - "If elected, I will work with both Democrats and Republicans to achieve consensus on policies that will ease the burden on taxpayers and deliver a better quality of life for everyone. I am determined to work in a spirit of cooperation that serves our constituents rather than petty partisan agendas."

Candidacy challenges
Lewis' candidacy has been repeatedly challenged by New Jersey Republicans, who argue that he does not meet the four year residency requirement to run for state office. The controversy began in April, when Lewis first announced his candidacy, and continued through multiple court challenges over the summer. The fight over Lewis' candidacy has progressed through two distinct stages; Republican and state officials initially attempted (unsuccessfully) to keep Lewis' name off the Democratic Party primary ballot in June, then initiated a separate court battle to keep him out of the November 8 general election.
In both cases, Republican Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno, in her capacity as New Jersey's elections officer, ordered Lewis off the June 7 primary ballot for failing to meet state residency standards. Lewis' campaign sued, claiming the decision violated the runner's constitutional rights to equal protection. After back-and-forth decisions in state and federal court, Lewis ultimately prevailed in the pre-primary contest after the federal 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on May 31 that he should remain on the ballot pending a more permanent decision.
After the primary, which Lewis won uncontested, Guadagno once again scrubbed Lewis on August 17, this time from the November 8 general election. After another extended court battle, Lewis appeared to triumph on September 16 when a 3rd Circuit panel once again endorsed him for the ballot in a preliminary order. However, the court overruled itself barely a week later on September 22, finding that Lewis did not meet the residency requirement after all. Lewis' campaign has not indicated whether it will appeal, though time is short; the deadline to print and ship absentee ballots to overseas residents is September 23.[8]
- April 11
- Lewis first registered to vote in New Jersey on Monday, April 11, the same day he announced his candidacy. [9] Republicans believed that Lewis' recent 2008 and 2009 voting history in California nullified his claims of recent New Jersey residency. William Tambussi, Lewis' spokesman, argued that New Jersey's constitutional definition of residency would protect Lewis. [9][10]
- The day after declaring his candidacy, Olympic track champion Carl Lewis was reportedly discouraged from running for the state senate. According to The Auditor, a Lewis staffer claims that Gov. Christie's administration officials had discouraged Lewis from running.[11] Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak firmly denied these claims, stating that Christie did not attempt to dissuade Lewis from running, claiming that "anybody who says otherwise is lying." [11] What Christie did say, according to Drewniak, was that he would support long-time friend, state Sen. Dawn Addiego - Lewis' opponent in the race. [11]
- April 20
- On Wednesday April 20, an administrative law judge dismissed attempts by Republicans Bill Layton and Ted Costa to remove Lewis from the June 7 ballot, due to doubts concerning the length of his most recent New Jersey residency. The judge's order was not binding, which left the decision to Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State Kim Guadagno (R).
- April 26
- On Tuesday, April 26, Guadagno overturned the judge's ruling and found "credible evidence to conclude" that Lewis did not meet the state's residency requirement, including that he voted and paid income taxes in California as recently as 2009, and did not register to vote in New Jersey until earlier this month, when he filed to run for the Senate. [12]
- April 28
Federal Judge Noel Hillman refused to restore Lewis to the ballot, rejecting arguments from Lewis' lawyers that the New Jersey residency requirement violated his 14th Amendment rights to equal protection. Hillman's ruling "weighed the reasons for the residency rule, which include giving candidates time to learn the areas they want to represent, preventing political carpetbagging and giving voters time to get to know the candidates."[13] He did not rule on the specific validity of Guadagno's decision to remove Lewis from the ballot.
- May 2
A state appeals court panel upheld Guadagno's ruling, arguing that Lewis' decision to vote in California in 2009 was credible evidence that he was not a resident of New Jersey. Lewis' case would subsequently move to federal appellate courts.[14]
- May 17
A three-judge panel from the federal 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals restored Lewis to the June 7 Democratic primary ballot, reversing earlier state and federal decisions. The court held that Lewis should remain in contention until a more considered final decision could be made on his residency status. As a result, Lewis won the Democratic nomination for the 8th district of the New Jersey Senate uncontested.
- August 16
- Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno ordered that Lewis' name be taken off the general election ballot, citing "a federal appeals court order to keep Lewis on the ballot while a case challenging his candidacy is considered by a judge only applied to the June Democratic primary — which Lewis won uncontested — and not the November general election."[15] A hearing, requested by Lewis' attorney William Tambussi, is scheduled for Friday August 20 to challenge the decision.[15]
- September 8
Repeating his April 28 decision, federal Judge Noel Hillman refused to restore Lewis to the ballot, concluding that Lewis indeed did not meet residency requirements because of his status as a voter and taxpayer in California as recently as 2009. Once again, Lewis' team vowed to appeal to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals.
- September 13/September 22
- A 3rd Circuit panel once again ruled 2-1 that Lewis should be put back on the ballot in a preliminary order.[16] However, the panel reversed itself nine days later in its final decision, concluding that Lewis' California activity contradicted his claim of New Jersey residency. Lewis' campaign did not indicate if they would request an en banc ruling of the 3rd Circuit, or appeal further to the U.S. Supreme Court.
MSNBC Interview with Carl Lewis on July 19, 2011
On Monday May 2, three New Jersey appellate court judges, Philip Carchman, Ronald Graves and Carmen Messano upheld Kim Guadagno's decision to remove Lewis from the ballot. [17] This ruling came after Lewis filed a federal complaint against Guadagno, claiming her initial decision (which found him ineligible) was in error. [12] He also claimed that New Jersey's four-year residency requirement violated the constitution. [18] He is appealing a ruling by a U.S. District judge that upheld New Jersey's four-year residency requirement as constitutional. The 3rd Circuit of Appeals is handling the appeal. [19] Lewis's court challenge was ultimately successful; he was placed back on the Democratic primary ballot on May 6. In a quickly issued decision, 3rd Circuit ruled that Lewis should be allowed to participate until a more permanent decision regarding his residency status could be made following the primary.
Lieutenant Governor Guadagno once again ordered Lewis off the ballot on August 16, arguing that his "protection" under the 3rd Circuit ruling had expired following the primary. The issue once again came before the courts, where federal judge Noel Hillman ruled on September 7 that Lewis had failed to establish residency and would not be listed on the ballot. Lewis's campaign vowed to appeal.[20]

Selected: Volčji grad (Komen, Karst)
Volčji Grad is a small village on the southern slope of the Komen Karst, and it is 1.5 kilometres away from Komen.
Life in the village dates back to prehistoric times, when the original settlers lived in one of the biggest prehistoric hill forts in the area, Debela Griža. The Roman road ran through this region. The first mention of Volcigrat dates back to the year 1257, whereas in the Code of the Trieste Cathedral Archive from the year 1337 it is found under the name Volcigrad. According to a local legend, the aristocratic daughter, Marija Volcija was given medical treatment in the village and finally returned to good health. When she died, she was supposedly buried next to the village church. It is said that the settlement was named after her. In the past, four quarries were in operation. The first people to start this activity were the Štolfa family, who moved from Komen in the middle of the 19th century. They are descendants of the Astolfi family from Ivanji Grad. It is possible that strong quarrying activity was present in Volčji Grad as early as the 18th century. The work of the Volčji Grad stonecutters is reflected in numerous beautifully engraved stone gateways, support consoles, shrines, staircases and other stone features.
The Succursal Church of St. John the Baptist, which is situated in a separate hamlet called "Brith". In this place, a small Gothic church once stood. There is a plaque dedicated to its builder, the Trieste architect Johannes de Pari from 1429. The present church was built in Baroque style either in the 16th or 17th centuries. The western wall contains a built-in tombstone from the 2nd century A.D. erected by a mother and father for their daughter, who died on the 4th month in the year 15 according to the Roman calendar. The church interior is decorated with Baroque features from the 18th century. The main altar contains a painting of St. John in front of Mary and Jesus and was painted by F. Pavone. The altar on the right contains a painting by the Bishop J. Leonardis. The independent belltower by the church has an unusual Baroque spire.
The home of the famous Slovene essayist Marjan Rožanc (1930-1990) is next to the church. He spent the last years of his life writing in this house. There is a commemorative plaque mounted on the house, and the Rožanc Awards were created in his honour.
The biggest prehistoric hill fort of the municipality, Debela Griža, is situated in the west part of the village past house number 6 and the unsurfaced road past house number 55. Originally, the fortified settlement contained at least 13,000 tons of stone and was the centre for all the neighbouring hill forts. The stones were arranged into a single wall and in three places into a double defence wall with an external circumference of 850 metres and an internal one of 680 metres. The present-day ruins of the defence wall are 8 to 15 metres wide and 2 to 4 metres high.
A series of roadside shrines at the beginning of the village (coming from the direction of Komen), were built in 1833 by Anton and Andrej Jurca in honour of the Mother of God. There is another one next to the church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, made by F. Metlikovec in 1885 and one on the side road next to the church dedicated to Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
The Stone Trail – a signposted educational trail through the village where you can learn something about the cultural and natural attractions of Volčji Grad, among others: chapels, kilns for slaking lime, the Debela Griža hill fort, the remains of a quarry, a shepherd's cottage, dry stone walls with entrances to pieces of ground called vrzele, Karst precipices, dolinas, caverns, ponds and a walled sinkhole. The path is 4 kilometres long.
MARJAN ROŽANC (Slape 1930 – 1990 Ljubljana) writer, essayist, playwright and screenwriter. His best known work is the autobiographical novel Love (Ljubezen, 1979) for which he won the Prešeren Fund Award in 1980. In 1991 he won the Prešeren Award for Life Achievement. In 1979 he bought a house in Volčji Grad, where he spent the majority of the following years. In the Srečko Kosovel Library in Komen it is possible to visit the Rožanc library.
ŠTOLFA – a number of skilled stonecutters are known under this name who worked in Volčji Grad in the 19th century and thus the village represented a strong stonecutting centre in the area. The most important of them was FRANČIŠEK ŠTOLFA, who carved not only simple objects but also church accessories (for Batuje Church, for example).

This inflator looks pretty cool, with its cobra-like design, but its bulky and its tough to get the CO2 cartridges loaded with some significant leakage. When it come to inflators, simpler is better, both from a reliability and weight standpoint. Its hard to beat the Portland Design inflators.

Concealed carry
In May 2011, Gov. Pat Quinn announced that he would veto the concealed carry bill on which the Illinois Legislature had voted, if it landed on his desk. The bill would allow Illinois residents to carry concealed firearms in public.
That threat held little water because the bill had a lot of support and might win through a supermajority (71 votes in the House and 36 votes in the Senate) of votes from both chambers.
Rep. Brandon W. Phelps said he was trying to find enough support in the House to move the plan over to the Senate. Phelps said he wanted to call House Bill 148 for a vote on May 5, regardless of Quinn's opposition.
"I just think that (Quinn) is wrong," Phelps said. "And you agree to disagree. Sometimes people within your own party disagree with what they say. And I totally disagree with him today."
Under HB 148, Illinois residents 21 and older could apply for permits to carry concealed firearms in public, except for places like schools, churches and inside state government buildings. Applicants would need to pass a written exam, firearms training exercises and background checks.
"About two-thirds of the citizens of our state are steadfastly and strongly opposed to allow private citizens to carry loaded, concealed handguns in public places," Quinn said.
Sen. Gary Forby said the opponents of concealed carry mostly live in and around Chicago and that people downstate, and in other states, support the idea.
"I think all we are doing now, we are really helping the state of Illinois with what they got to do to get a license and stuff," Forby said. "So all you are going to do is put guns in peoples' good hands."
Quinn said the plan may lead to more violence.
"I don't think that's healthy, if you are going to the grocery store," Quinn said. "You bump into somebody accidentally, and they take offense, they can pull out a loaded, concealed handgun to assuage their anger."
Sen. Larry Bomke said the plan would deter violence, because potential burglars would less likely rob homeowners with guns.
"I can only hope that he changes his mind once the bill gets to his desk," Bomke said. "And I feel fairly confident it will. But it will be important that we have enough votes, a supermajority, to override his decision if he chooses to veto the bill."
Rep. Jason Barickman said lawmakers have been working carefully to craft the plan.
"At the end of the day, we certainly would appreciate the governor's support," Barickman said. "But with him making it clear that he opposes this right, this constitutional right, this right that a mass number of people support. I think that we just have to continue lining up our legislative votes and push forward."
Rep. Norine Hammond hopes that's enough support.
"A lot of people have worked on this very hard — lots of law enforcement input," she said. "I think it is a very strong bill. And hopefully we could get it passed," she said.
In the end though, Rep. Richard Morthland said it won't matter what the governor chooses to do with the legislation if there are enough votes.
"There is a last minute roll call being taken just trying to figure out where people are, and how we are doing, and do we have exactly the number of votes we need, how close are we," Morthland said. "I think it looks good. Hopefully we will be able to move it this week."[2]

Micallef Royal Amber perhaps.
I'm holding onto my recently-bought bottle of Ambre Sultan unopened, ready to return it. I bought it remembering a quality of spreading warm calming coziness when I'd worn my sample. Then I tried the sample a few times more and remembered that I find the bitter herbal bouquet too challenging; I think the bay leaf in particular throws me off. I'm all for resinous warmth, but I feel like I have to dig through a bitter-herbal spice rack to get to that aspect of the Sultan's charms.
Still, there must be frags that offer that burst of deep warmth without the bitterness. What has the Sultan's healing vibe without its dry, bitter slap? (Actually, for slightly punishing warmth I have vintage M7. I'm craving something a bit cozier at the moment.)
I've read good things about HdP Ambre 114, though that may not have a dense coziness?
Micallef Royal Amber perhaps.

HdP - Ambre 114
A sandalwood and a beautiful creamy light sweet Amber with a touch of vanille and a rose note is what you get within this beautiful mix. This scent is just enchanting and really divine to your olfactory senses. No kitchen herbs here.
And it never overpowers or gets sickly sweet but just sits right on the skin giving you that perfect satisfaction.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I was already thinking Ambre 114 might be the ticket. I'll definitely check it out.
I have a 14ml manufacturer's travel sample of 114. It is very nice, but I found it to be a bit too sweet/ feminine for my tastes. I am glad that I did not spring for a full bottle blindly.
I bought mine from The Perfume Shoppe here:
for $36. They are a reputable source. It may be a wise move to try it first.
Or, try Amber Absolute!

I agree with those who suggested Ambre 114 here. I own both this and Ambre Sultan and they have a lot of common ground but Ambre 114 lacks Ambre Sultans rather dry herbal top and goes onto the skin a bit more rounded and powdery. Also try Tom Ford Amber Absolute if you can, this is a very cozy well executed amber.
I own Ambre Sultan and enjoy it a great deal, but find Amber Absolute to be just perfect for me. A very warm labdanum/ incense amber.
I smelled Amber Absolute at the Tom Ford counter, and was struck by how strong and almost sour it seemed, at least initially on the testing paper. It didn't remind me of Ambre Sultan at all (which is fine), but seemed "thick." Any comments on how that one develops?
Tauer - L'Air du Desert Marocain
I know the sharp note that you are talking about. It surprised me when I first tried it. It is much different on the skin. That note quickly subsides and gives way to a very sweet warm amber that on my skin continues to warm into a gorgeous heavy dark incense and amber vibe. Not heavy in an overbearing way... just a lot of incense. I love it.
There are much more experienced noses here who may be better equipped to provide a technical description.
I couldn't get enough ambers, I want 'em all. And I concur with the previous suggestions of Ambre 114.
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
But the fact is, he's absolutely spot on! However, I think it'd be best to try the other recommendations before approaching this one. It'd be wise to save the best for last...
l too found the herbal notes in Ambre Sultan too much for me.
+1 for Amber Absolute, & l agree Ambra Mediterranea is an outstanding fragrance.
l would also recommend Ambra Aurea by Profumum.
"What is this secret connection between the soul, and sea, clouds and perfumes? The soul itself appears to be sea, cloud and perfume..." - from Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis.
It's funny. Now and then Ambre Sultan smells quite nice to me. Especially if I don't sniff it up close. I'm just not sure whether I need a full bottle of it or not. If I were to keep it, is Ambre 114 different enough that I could reasonably own both? Or should I hold out to try these others and avoid too much overlap? (I'm not yet an amber fiend, for what that's worth, so I don't know that I need a lot yet.)
It was a calculated risk. Unfortunately, I'm bad at math.
+ 1000000 on both Ambra Mediterranea and Ambre Precieux. Incensey and crispy, sort of creme brulee-like, the former, classic and huge the latter.

I did try L'Air du Desert Marcain at one point, but for whatever reason it just read as "old man" smell to me. Very... grandfather in his old leather chair, or something. Strange, eh? But it just didn't work for me. Plus it radiated like CRAZY in the first hour or so after I put it on, so I was quite overwhelmed.
Arabie may be a possibility; my good friend bought it and wears it fairly often. It's very pleasant on him, though I do understand the "yummy" edible vibe it gives off. I've been a bit afraid of folks saying it smells like curry or fruitcake, but if it has a similar warming, cozy vibe to Ambre Sultan, it may well work.
I don't mind Chergui, while we're considering the SLs, but it's also not quite distinct enough for me, especially in the dry down.
A very cozy deep in sandalwood/amberyness and cheap is Sands Of Morocco Perfume By Infusion Organique
Sync'in and Think'in in 2015!
I think you should stick with AS. I found the bay leaf too much at first too but I've adjusted to it and find it to be a non-issue now.
I disagree with Ambre Precieux as any sort of alternative, mainly because it lacks any transparency. AS is all about resinous amber whereas Ambre Precieux is more on the opaque somewhat powdered side of amber.
I like Nobile 1942's Ambra and Cotswold's Amber for coziness.
After it dries down on skin a bit, I find AA to be pretty similar to Ambre Sultan except with an incense note replacing the herbs. As time goes on, the incense note subsides and it becomes more of a pure amber. I find both AA and AS to be resinous, dry, and warm.
Amber Absolute's longevity and projection are very strong, at least as strong as Ambre Sultan on my skin (probably more). I think I prefer AA to AS because I prefer the incense to the herbs, though there are days where the herbs really appeal to me.
Another vote for the Tom Ford.

I absolutely hated Ambre Sultan, so much so that it turned me off amber scents for a while.
I ended up returning the Sultan to his throne at Barney's, with the intention to order a decant and live with it a bit more before committing to a full bottle. But in a quick sniff-and-spray tour of Gumps/Nieman/Barney's, I managed to condense findings such that they conveniently fit in a 140-character nugget in my Twitter stream:
Ambre 114 dries to a light M7; Tom Ford Amber Absolute is a hippie in a sharp suit; Chantecaille Kalimantan an amber/incense/agar surprise.
I should add, by the way, that the Tom Ford amber really is lovely; just as others in this thread suggested, it's the warm amber note I was liking in Ambre Sultan but without the bitter, challenging blast of herbs. Interesting that they both have a "dusty" note to me as they dry down; I assume this is an aspect of benzoin or labdanum?
Sounds like Amber Absolute is indeed on its way out; the Neiman's I went to didn't have any 50ml left in stock. Which saved me from impulsively losing $200. So there's that.
"All problems are illusions of the mind."
-- Eckhart Tolle
I keep reading bits about Amber Absolute being discontinued but cannot get any solid information. The trouble is that I LOVE Amber Absolute but have maybe 25ml left so I cannot justify spending the $200 at this point, but if it is being discontinued...
Does anyone have any solid information on this?
Well, the slightly amusing conclusion is this: I returned the bottle of Ambre Sultan on Monday. Then later that evening the smell was coming back into my mind. I kind of missed it. I dabbed the very last drops of my sample out. Ah yes, I do like this -- I just can't stick my nose right in it all the time or the herbal bitterness and dustiness is too much. Still, something about the overall vibe from a distance was beguiling (again). I was kind of craving it. So, yep, back I went today to get a bottle. This time I'll keep it.
(Also grabbed a travel bottle of Ambre 114 along with the Penhaligon's men's sampler pack at Gumps. Satisfying!)
I haven't tried a full day's wear of Ambre 114 yet, but judging from sampling it it seemed much less thick and bracing; it was more transparent, soft, and a bit powdery. The herbal feel of the Sultan was only there in the opening of 114 for me.
For now, I'm glad to have both. They're pretty distinct from one another.
Best fragrance of this type in my opinion. It's stunning.
HdP - Ambre 114
I've never tried Amber Absolute, sadly. Ambrosius is quite radiant and animalic; it's so many similar things together that it's really hard to describe. It's so good.

This was the second year for the "Cruise In" event and plans are underway for next year's "Cruise In." Operation Santa is a project that strives to see that every child in Logan County gets a visit and toy from Santa just before Christmas.
