I picked up a nice little icelandic dictionary at the Homestead bookshop in Marlborough, New Hampshire for $2.00.
I'm really psyched the way the words seem so cleverly crafted that their sounds when sounded out as an American,
the words seem to come to life and really show their meaning by the sound. It's quite astounding. I've been
reading many foreign language dictionaries in the last decade and this one really found my heart.
Oh, remember when Daniel Tammet learned Icelandic in one week as a contest? He also
recited pi to 22,513 digits...
But I think I'll post my "fav" words I find the dictionary here once in a while and any
icelandish topic at all is welcome in this thread, or even Atlantic Ocean topics of the north...

Here lies the reader who will never open this book. He is forever dead.
Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most. ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment
The knowledge of some things as a function of age is a delta function.
On that note, maybe I should get an icelandic CD to listen to.
By the way, I'm Swedish and Finnish. My relatives claim to be
Swedish, but they lived on an island owned by Finland.
Later they moved to Vaasa, Finland before coming to the US.

If you're mustering out of the U.S. military, you should put Pittsburgh, Pa., at the top of your shortlist of the best places for veterans to start civilian life, new research shows. Pittsburgh winters too cold for you? Then Phoenix in Arizona's Valley of the Sun may be more to your liking.
These cities top a list of the 10 U.S. metro areas that offer America's most recent veterans the best job and education opportunities and provide a higher quality of life in an affordable location. Other cities on the list were Dallas; Cleveland; Atlanta; Warren, Mich.; Ann Arbor, Mich.; Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio; and St Louis.
Researchers evaluated 379 U.S. metropolitan areas based on employment opportunities and sectors that align with military skill sets such as defense, engineering, medical services and aviation, as well as the overall jobs climate based on unemployment rate and job growth.
They also looked at the presence of colleges and universities and high-quality local primary schools, and general quality of life and pocketbook issues such as affordability, crime rate, taxes and recreational opportunities.
The research was sponsored by USAA, a financial services organization serving the military and their families, and Military.com, a military and veteran membership organization.
"Today's veterans are battling a highly competitive job market and need to proactively plan for life after the military," said Scott Halliwell, a certified financial planner at USAA. "This study allows us to help recent and soon-to-be veterans identify preferred locations throughout the U.S. where they can launch a civilian career and use the G.I. Bill to further their education."
"The millions of young veterans who have already entered the work force and the many more that will join them in the coming years have the opportunity to use the discipline and determination they've acquired in the armed forces to make a significant impact in their workplaces and communities," said retired Cmdr. Ward Carroll, editor of Military.com. "Best Places for Veterans was commissioned to help equip this remarkable group with tools for a successful transition."

(NEWS CENTER) — Many agree this year's election has been far from normal.
Some may even say, a decade or so from now, that its plots and twists could serve as a possible backdrop for a Stephen King story.
NEWS CENTER sat down with King Friday to discuss the release of his new book, "Hearts in Suspension," and to also get his take on the campaign-style lawn signs seen around Bangor expressing support for Pennywise, the iconic clown from his 1986 horror novel, "It."
In one of King's novellas from 1982, "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," protagonist Andy Dufresne explains an analogy to Red, the narrator, pertaining to decision-making when faced with trouble.
In the latter of two examples, he tells Red some believe "there's no harm in hoping for the best as long as you're prepared for the worst."
So… what if Pennywise actually were to become president?
Here is a purely hypothetical look at a list of Cabinet members under a President Pennywise:
President – Pennywise (It, 1986)
Vice President – James "Big Jim" Rennie (Under the Dome, 2009)
Secretary of State – Johnny Smith (The Dead Zone, 1979)
Secretary of Defense – Roland Deschain (The Dark Tower series, 1998-2004)
Secretary of Treasury – William Andrews (Afterlife, 2013)
Secretary of Energy – Charlene "Charlie" McGee (Firestarter, 1980)
Secretary of Agriculture – Dr. Louis Creed (Pet Sematary, 1983)
Secretary of Education – Carrietta N. "Carrie" White (Carrie, 1974)
Secretary of Transportation – Arnold "Arnie" Cunningham (Christine, 1983)
Secretary of Health and Human Services – Annie Wilkes (Misery, 1987)
Secretary of Homeland Security – Ben Mears ('Salem's Lot, 1975)
Secretary of Labor – Ollie Weeks (The Mist, 1980)
Secretary of Commerce – Leland Gaunt (Needful Things, 1991)
Secretary of Interior – Gary "Jonesy" Jones (Dreamcatcher, 2001)
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development – Jack Torrance (The Shining, 1977)
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator – Randall Flagg (The Stand, 1978)
Attorney General – Paul Edgecombe (The Green Mile, 1996)
Chief of Staff – Gordie Lachance (The Body, 1982)

With CD, OneTexFan and Dan P – Q&A
If you have turned on your car radio this week and tuned into any local sports talk show – you would be very rich if someone gave you a dollar for every time the words/initials "Adrian", "Peterson" or "AP" were spoken.
By now, you've heard it all a ton of times, AP's quick recovery from ACL surgery, AP's summer time arrest in Houston, AP's assault on both the 2000 yard season (likely to happen) and on Eric Dickerson's single season mark of 2105 yards (a lot more likely to happen than I thought possible) and how AP could tear up the Texans' suspect rushing defense.
So can the Texans do more than tug on Superman's cape or will they just be spitting into the wind on this one?
Good News – In 2 of Adrian Peterson's 3 best performances this year (210 yds against Green Bay and 182 against Seattle) the Vikings lost.
Bad News – In AP's best performance (last week against the Rams) and in his 4th thru 6th best performances – the Vikings did win.
Good News – AP can be stopped, he has been held below 100 yards 5 times this year.
Bad News – All 5 of those times were in the first 6 games of the year. In the last 8 games, no one has held him under 100 yards, including 6 games over 150 yards and 2 over 200 yards. (Note – local good guy Arian Foster has 2 games over 150 yards this season and Arian's 36 extra carries have resulted in almost 500 less yards than AP)
Good News – The Texans are 5-0 in games against the best RBs they have faced this year – (Chris Johnson twice, CJ Spiller, MJD and Ray Rice).
Bad News – The Texans are giving up a very pedestrian 4.1 yds / attempt and are fresh off of a game where they let someone named Vick Ballard gain 105 yds on 18 attempts.
We suspect the Texans will fill the box with 8 most of the game – but those 8 better be truly filling the holes, not getting out of position and it is critical that they get their hands on AP early in his runs and not let go until the cavalry comes.
Comment from OneTexFan: You do have a winning way with references Dan_P. Jim Croce would have been proud. Let's just hope that the Vikes will be spittin' into the wind on Sunday and that Foster will be doing what he does best. And for him to have another big game out-Petersoning Peterson would be an excellent addition for the highlight reels. So; with no further ado, bring on the questions.
The Q&A's have been a fun way for us to toss around the football a bit. Here are some more of Dan P, OneTexFan and CD's opinions on this upcoming contest.
Q: Anything you will be watching intently during this particular game for the Vikings and the Texans?
Dan P: Just to be contrarian – I have been thinking of watching Christian Ponder intently rather than AP when the Vikings have the ball. It is just that I find the stats he has (not) been putting up in the last 8 games amazing for the modern "don't put your hands on the receivers" game. Looking at total passing yards (which is reception yards minus sack yards) – in the last 8 games the Vikings have been under 100 yards 3 times (including twice under 50 yards) and 5 times have been under 120 yards. What is this the Air Force Academy running the wishbone? They are using spheroids and not medicine balls, right?
For the Texans – I will be watching the ILBs – their play in coordination with the DL – is critical to keeping AP from putting up stratospheric rushing totals.
Crimedog: The Vikes are 18th in the league in both sacks allowed (30) and INT's (12). If we can pressure Ponder early and often, the Texans can take add to those totals. JJ Watt needs 3 sacks to beat the NFL record of 22 set by Michael Strahan, so I'd like to see him get those here in case we're resting starters in the final game. I think if the Texans can start strong and put some points up on the board early, we could disrupt Minnesota's ground game and force the pass a bit more.
OneTexFan: Well, besides my waistline, I'll be watching the Texans' Offense to see how quickly all of the horses can quickly get out of the gate this game. I'll be keeping an eye on Garrett Graham during the game to see how he is able to help in the yard production total. I also want Ben Tate to have a very good game, but he might not get enough touches due to what Arian Foster is able to contribute with his powerful abilities.
Q: With Percy Harvin out for the year – name any of the other Viking's WRs or TEs. (Answer at the end of the column)
Dan P: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet……
Crimedog: Sneezy, Sleepy, Dopey, Doc, Happy…
OneTexFan: Okay, a very serious question here. Don't forget "Gumby" who has the ability to stretch Defenses to their limits. And then there's "Pokey" who has gotten a bit slower this deep in the season. But that may well be due to an injury problem from the team riding him too hard. Don't forget they have a couple of excellent prospects on their Practice Squad that they're developing. By the start of next season I think that "Bashful" and "Dopey" might have a good chance to play for the team. Granted, one of those guys is a little shy going for the ball in traffic and one of them has a horrible time of it learning their play book, but give them a chance. They aren't a couple of "Stooges" are they?
Q: What area is most important for the Texans to improve headed into the playoffs?
Dan P: I really think the Texans need to work on getting out of the box quicker and I don't know how you do that exactly. Against most teams during the regular season – a slow start is not death. But in the post season (or in week 13 of the regular season) you can be down 21-0 in a blink to a great team and that is a hole that you will not escape.
Crimedog: I've made this pretty clear lately. Offense, Offense, and more Offense. Don't get me wrong, we get our stats in the yardage column. We look masterful between the 20's. But get us down close where the other team can stack the box and out comes the place kicker. This frustrates me to no end because this offense has too many weapons and too many well designed plays to falter in the red zone. We've got three outstanding TE's on the field in Daniels, Graham and Casey at any given time, an elite RB and WR tandem, so what gives? We have GOT to improve on offense or we're going to make a short run in the post season.
OneTexFan: Just like you guys, I do want to see the Defense being able to buckle down on how they stop the running game that Offenses bring to the house. Having Brian Cushing back sure would have helped. But wishing for the impossible won't do any good. There were games in the past weeks when the Defense did bend a bit, but didn't break like in the Chicago, Detroit, and second Jacksonville games. I'll start worrying more if an opposing Offense puts points on the board as quickly as in Foxborough.
Secondly, I want to see Special Teams contributing more. Braman made a splendid effort a week ago and Posey seems like he has been living up to more of his potential, but I want to see better coverage against Kickoffs and Punts! I get downright mad when they allow a team excellent field position so much. Get back to basics on those tackles!
Q: Against the Colts, Arian looked like Arian for the first time in awhile. Is the line getting better or was it the competition? And what do you think will happen with the running game this week?
Dan P: I think the line is getting better and I think it helped to have Newton back from his little injury. Foster did seem to hit a bit of a rhythm in the second half and maybe all the long drives (even those ending in FGs) wore down a mediocre Colts defense. This week I would sure like to see more Tate, not just to rest Arian but to get Tate rolling a bit.
Crimedog: The Vikes are 13th in league in rushing yards allowed, averaging 113 given up a game. We all know that Kubes will want to establish the run game. Arian looked a little run down for a few weeks there after his plethora of carries in the early stages of the season. He looked good last week, but I attribute that more to Arian and the Colts defense than the right side of the O-Line suddenly having a light bulb moment. They have been serviceable on the right side, but hardly dominant. Guys like Arian and Adrian can make even mediocre offensive lines look stellar.
OneTexFan: It seems to me that the guys in front are gelling at just the right time. If what has just happened with Arian Foster adding to his production totals is a sign of what happens in Postseason, …look out NFL! Foster might not have the numbers of an A.P. but I'm glad he's with the Texans.
Q: Except for perhaps the Ravens game – the fans seemed to have plenty to complain about in every game – even the wins. Why?
Dan P: A lot of human psychology going on here. One – I won't say we are spoiled, but I will say that our expectations were heightened by our 2011 experience. The team has shown us what is possible and we want to see it every week from all 3 parts of the game. Two – this team is very good, but flawed – just like almost every team in the NFL. Twelve times they overcame the flaws and twice they did not. But we as fans can see the faults because we know where to look (kind of like those small cracks on your ceiling that only you notice are there). We are watching for conservative play calling, and under thrown passes and red zone problems and special teams' penalties, and on and on. It's just normal to gripe – but folks we are 12-2.
Crimedog: Why, you ask? Because that's what us fans do. Because there's no such thing as "perfect" in football, and "almost" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. As Dan stated above, expectations are at an all time high. We've had this team here for 10 years now, and it's been since the early-mid 90's since we've seen a perennial playoff team in this town. I think the fans are due, and even though the Texans have slowly (heavy emphasis on slowly) built a stout team on both sides of the ball, this town is accustomed to the proverbial melt-down. In our three major sports, only the Rockets have any of the big trophies (thank you Jordan!) and having seen the Oilers and Astros melt down time and time again in the playoffs tends to make the fans' outlook a bit gloomy. Winning instills confidence, and winning the big games against the big boys helps. So far, despite their 12-2 record, the Texans looked horrid against the Pack and Pats, which has this fan a bit edgy. Had they competed in either or both of those games, I think fans would be more confident.
OneTexFan: I suppose it's a natural thing there to complain like that, but fans want their number one team to be GREAT not just a winning team. The thinking is: Well, if the Texans were weak in preventing the run one week, then certainly the Vikes will tear up the scoreboard during the next game. Or the Secondary was soooo terrible against the Packers, what will happen when the Patriots game comes around. Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't have brought that one up? There are flaws with all teams. And there are solutions. I'm not blind. I see what happens. But I'm keeping the faith. Sometimes it's difficult not to look a game ahead or even a few games ahead.
Q: So what will happen this week?
Dan P: The Texans will struggle a bit with stopping the Vikes running game, but will get the job done – get home field advantage in the playoffs and turn their attention to "the future" SB run. Texans 27 Vikings 17
Crimedog: I agree with Dan. Adrian will get his. But the Texans need to be careful because the Vikes have scored through the air (14 TD's) as much as they have on the ground (also 14 TD's). They have also scored twice on returns and 3 times on INT returns. So when/if the Vikes get down close, the Texans need to tighten their chin straps and hold them to FG's, or better yet, stop them completely. I think the offense will start well and slack off late in the 1st, then come out slow in the 3rd and finish strong. I'd rather they play strong for 4 quarters, but they haven't shown they are able to do that consistently. Oh, and JJ gets his 3 sacks, while Aldon Smith turns green with envy!
OneTexFan: The Defense does effectively stop the Peterson Express. The cape belongs on the back of one Justin James Watt. Superman is on Defense for the Texans. Thor is on Offense. Matt Schaub will put the team on top of the board before the Vikings score, (if the Texans win the coin toss, which will be a favorable omen for the game), and the Vikings will be in catch up mode. Perhaps the Texans won't win the Time Of Possession battle this week, but I can live with that. I could even grit my teeth and say that I could live with the fact that AP gets one hundred yards rushing against the Texans' Defense. But ONLY if it's one hundred yards exactly and no more! Bend, but don't break is the motto.
Q: Any last words?
OneTexFan: It seemed that it took forever for the football season to get here. Time was dragging so slow after the 2012 NFL Draft, OTAs, Training Camp, and Preseason. I had the Texans winning the season, (And Division), at 11-5. They've surpassed my expectations of course. It's time to strap it on a bit tighter before Postseason gets here. Win out the next two games and finish strong. The Defense, Offense, Special Teams, and Coaching decisions all take it up another notch. It's time to bury the stake early in the game and to play 'lights-out football' from here on out.
Dan P: Unsaid by OTF is the thought that while it took forever to start the season, the season itself is flying by – cannot believe there are only 2 games left. At least in the Vikings game – the Texans need to play a more complete game and show they are getting some traction vs. their problem areas.
Crimedog: Last words? Well, I'd like to see the Texans win out and secure the best record in the NFL on their way to Houston's first Super Bowl win…oh, and I hope the Mayans were incorrect, or I'm gonna have a hard time explaining to my kids why their college funds are parked in my driveway!
All kidding aside, I hope everyone out there has a safe and happy holidays, a very Merry Christmas, and a 13-2 Texans record for their stockings!
~ Crimedog
Trivia question answer – Without Harvin – the Vikings are relying on household names like Kyle Rudolph, Michael Jenkins, Jerome Simpson, Jarius Wright and Devin Aromashodu in their passing game. Perhaps Ponder is not totally to blame for the poor passing offense….

|Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang's Remarks on the United Nations Security Council's Adoption of Resolution 2371
Q: On August 6, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2371 in response to the DPRK's missile launches. What's China's comment on that?
A: On August 6, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2371 in relation to the issue of the DPRK's latest ballistic missile tests. This resolution serves the objective of safeguarding peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the region, advancing the denuclearization process on the Korean Peninsula and upholding the international non-proliferation regime. It is also consistent with the spirit of the previous relevant Security Council resolutions and reflects the unanimous position of its members. While imposing new sanctions on the DPRK, the resolution also stresses that the sanction measures should avoid negatively affecting economic activities and cooperation that are not prohibited by the resolution as well as activities that are not prohibited by the Security Council, including food and humanitarian aids. The resolution reaffirms upholding peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia, calls for a settlement through a peaceful, diplomatic and political means, supports the resumption of six-party talks and stresses that relevant parties should take measures to deescalate the tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
At present, the situation on the Korean Peninsula remains complex and sensitive. China calls on relevant countries to remain restrained and make positive efforts to ease the tensions and properly resolve the Korean Peninsula issue. China has always maintained that the Korean Peninsula issue should be settled through dialogue and negotiation. To this end, we have put forward the "suspension for suspension" proposal,which calls for the suspension of nuclear and missile activities by the DPRK and the suspension of massive military exercises by the US and the ROK, and the "dual-track" approach which aims to promote parallel progress in achieving denuclearization and the establishment of a peace mechanism on the Peninsula. The proposals are objective, fair, reasonable and legitimate. We call on the international community to support the above-mentioned proposals and find a feasible way out for the Korean Peninsula issue. This also echoes the spirit of the Security Council Resolution 2371.

San Francisco, Calif., Jan 29, 2014 / 04:05 am MT ().- The Walk for Life West Coast held each year in San Francisco is an important opportunity for those in the western U.S. to demonstrate their solidarity with the unborn, according to the city's archbishop.
"The main purpose it serves is for those who can't get back to Washington for the March for Life, that we're still able to gather all of us together...and by virtue of our numbers, bear witness to the strength of the pro-life movement," Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone told CNA after celebrating a Mass for the pilgrims who had come for the Jan. 25 event.
"I know there are walks in a lot of different cities, but I think it's important to have one key event on the east coast, and one one the west coast: it's a long ways to the east coast – sometimes people from back east don't realize that."
Many of the some 50,000 participants in Saturday's walk were university students, coming from Berkeley across the bay, Thomas Aquinas College downstate, and even from Wyoming Catholic College, four states away. Alongside Catholics were Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, and agnostics as well.
Archbishop Cordileone noted the importance of the Walk's pro-life witness "especially here in San Francisco, which is always at the forefront of these social changes which are not always in keeping with the greatest respect for human life."
The archbishop's homily at Mass, said on the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, had focused on the inter-generational witness of the Walk for Life West Coast, noting both the large number of young people and those who have been defending the unborn for many years.
One of the prayers at the solemn blessing at the Mass' end, that God, "who endowed you with the teaching and example of the Apostles, make you...witnesses to the truth before all."
This role of being "witnesses to the truth" is what makes the coincidence "very providential," Archbishop Cordileone said. "I mentioned in the homily those who have come to the pro-life movement by means of conversion...it does take courage to proclaim the truth, it has in every age."
"In every generation there has been some reason why it has taken courage to proclaim the truth," he continued, "and certainly that is the case in our own age; the consequences aren't as dire as in past ages, but still it will take courage, and in my homily I was trying to bolster that courage among our young people who really have to be strong in standing up for the truth now."
To bolster their courage, during his homily he had pointed to the "first generation of pro-lifers," who, in the years around the Roe v. Wade decision, couldn't even speak of their views "in polite company."
When asked about this, he explained that he thinks it was "worse" then.
"Now I'm basing this on my own experience, and that of others whom I know, and my recollections of those years, but it was the kind of thing that you couldn't really bring up, and if it did come up, you had to be really careful about letting it be known where you stood on the issue, because remember, that was the heyday of the so-called women's liberation movement."
"So (there was) this idea that you're being anti-woman if you're standing for life. That's what ostracized you."
Archbishop Cordileone expressed hope, however, noting that he believes today's situation to be more conducive to dialogue on the issue.
"Well it's still very emotionally volatile, but less than it used to be...so it's possible to have a calm, rational discussion about it, at least sometimes."
He commented that "it's coming more and more to light that the pro-life movement really is a pro-woman movement; despite the lies that are still being perpetrated, more and more people are coming to realize that."
"And the studies, surveys, show that most Americans are in favor of at least some restrictions on access to abortion, some, you would hope, reasonable things that anyone would want in place, such as informed consent, parental consent, a waiting period to think about it, these kind of things – just very reasonable measures, that I would hope even those who are in favor of keeping it legal would want, for the sake of the woman and helping her to make an informed choice."
Archbishop Cordileone reflected on the many young people who were at the Mass, which he views as a sign of hope for the pro-life cause.
"Young people now realize what's been done to their generation: what is it, one out of three, or four, of them, are not here, because of this, and they're beginning to figure that out, and they don't like it. So I think over time people have begun to see this in a different light, when the realities are becoming clearer and clearer."
"Every year it's a great encouragement to see all the young people. It's a young movement; the young people give us a lot of hope, a lot of encouragement."

Buero Wagner-Gamsei Cocktail Bar
At Design Interviews
Interview with Buero Wagner : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Buero Wagner : When Gamsei opened in 2013, hyper-localism was introduced to a field of practice which had till then been mainly confined to the food scene. At Gamsei, ingredients for cocktails are either wildly foraged or grown by local artesian farmers, thus reestablishing a connection with local products and culture. Gamsei is, envisioned as an antidote to the globalization of cocktail bars .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Buero Wagner : Just like the cocktails, we procured all materials locally, and worked in close collaboration with local manufacturers to produce custom-made solutions. Gamsei is a wholly integrated concept that turns the event of drinking a cocktail into a novel experience. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Buero Wagner : The Design and research process started in September 2012 in Munich – The interior was completed in April 2013. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Buero Wagner : We wanted the bar interior to be clear continuation of the hyper local concept– whilst paying a tribute to the local Bavarian culture and craftsmanship, guests enjoy a view from either tribune onto the centrally placed bars and follow how bartenders mix up the cocktails. Dried flowers and herbs are displayed in a wooden built-in cupboard. White ceramic bottles, containing self-made essences, are suspended from a steel mesh. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Buero Wagner : Gamsei is a wholly integrated concept that turns the event of drinking a cocktail into a novel experience. The refreshing take on the cocktail bar extends further: bartenders, dressed in uniform leather aprons, serve their guests an amuse-gueule, such as "Biersand", after taking their coats upon entering, the tribunes on either side - allow for sports broadcasts. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Buero Wagner : Gamsei [ˈɡamzːei. ] : Is the the egg of the Rupicapra Rupicapra (chamois) - It's a Bavarian fairy tale, which says that the egg is very rare and hard to find - but has an excellent indescribable taste and that the Woiperdinger the Bavarian legendary creature a horned squirrel declared it as its favourite food. Every year in autumn gatherers looking for Gamsei(er) high up in the mountains - but nobody ever found one. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Buero Wagner : we use all kinds of media to develop our designs .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Buero Wagner : All materials such as wood and ceramics are procured locally, and we worked exclusively in close collaboration with local carpenters and manufacturers to produce custom-made solutions. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Buero Wagner : For Gamsei we collaborated with Andreas Kreft – a Munich based Architect, who was working in New York and Berlin before he established his own office Studio Kreft. Another collaborator was a structural engineering firm which had to check on the beams at the ceiling as the steel mesh got quite heavy. The joints at the walls were also a problem as we found out that the walls were extremely thin – one day we broke one wall and stand in the neighbor's sleeping room. But all worked out well we fixed the wall and the neighbor got free drinks at the bar. For the Uniforms and the pottery we worked with local manufactures .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Buero Wagner : Gamsei is a low tech project - we used mainly traditional techniques to process wood and ceramics .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Buero Wagner : Whilst designing Gamsei it was extremely demanding to follow the hyper local concept. We needed much more time to source materials, and find local partners as in any other project. The building itself which host the bar is from the 19th century so we had the common problems with historic building fabric. .

Rep. Lankford: Obama Should Address Slave Labor Legislatively, Not by Executive Order
Rep. James Lankford (R-Okla.) criticized President Barack Obama's executive order on government contractors using forced labor, in a Wednesday interview with The Christian Post. The executive order will not close the loophole in the law that enables government contractors to use forced labor. Obama should work through the legislative process and support his bill, the End Trafficking in Government Contracting Act of 2012, which would close the loophole, Lankford argued.
"It makes for a great speech, it makes for great politics, and you can put it up right before the election and say, 'look I'm standing up for the oppressed,' when in reality what we need is for his legislative office to engage with the Senate and help us get it passed, so we can actually fix the process," Lankford said.
"This president just skips the legislative process, issues an executive order and thinks it's done. It's not done at that point. It might have been shorter for you, but that's not leadership, that's shortcuts. We don't need shortcuts at this point, we need solutions."
Obama issued an executive order Tuesday aimed at strengthening his administration's efforts to combat human trafficking. In a speech at the Clinton Global Summit meeting in New York, Obama asserted that "American tax dollars must never, ever be used to support the trafficking of human beings. We will have zero tolerance."
But the problem, according to Lankford, is that Obama's executive order does not address the root of the problem. The problem of government contractors using forced labor has existed for 20 years, Lankford explained, because fraud, as defined in the law for companies doing business in the United States, does not exist overseas, such as on military bases. The End Trafficking in Government Contracting Act of 2012 would close this loophole in the law, but Obama's executive order does not. Additionally, Lankford's bill would be applicable to both contractors and grant recipients, but Obama's executive order only applies to grant recipients.
The White House legislative office contacted Lankford on Monday, the day before Obama announced the executive order at the Clinton Global Summit, to inform him that the executive order would be modeled after his bill.
"My frustration was, and my concern is, that we now consider this done, we have an executive order so it's finished," Lankford said.
There have been 20 executive orders, according to Lankford, over the past 20 years that tried to address the issue but were unsuccessful.
"When it's a gap in the law it has to be resolved in the law," Lankford said.
The bill, H.R. 4259, was passed in the House and is awaiting action in the Senate. There is bipartisan support in the Senate, Lankford said, and there are plans to bring the bill to the floor during the lame duck session after the election.
Lankford also criticized Obama for praising the work of Catholics on behalf of human trafficking victims after his administration denied funding to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) for the purpose of helping the victims of human trafficking. The USCCB was denied last year, House investigators later discovered, because it would not provide referrals for abortion and contraceptive services, which is against Catholic teaching.
The purpose of the grant is to help human trafficking victims who are found by law enforcement get basic services, such as food, shelter and medical care.
The Catholic bishops "have been the anchor for us, nationwide, for the last five years, dealing with human trafficking with our federal contract, and have been the sole contractor for us as a nation, since the initiative has taken on, and have stellar, stellar grades, through the process. They were not renewed solely because they would not promote abortions," Lankford said.

I suspect that there are as many reasons for beginning to research your family history as there are family historians. For some it will be a curiosity, for others it might be completing a family tree that someone else in the family started, and for others it is a love of historical connections. I have written often that for me it was a desire to know more about the ancestors, not too distant, that I didn't get to know like great grandparents and wanting to discover their reasons for making in many cases life altering changes in where and how they and their families would live.
My ancestors came to Canada from Scotland (paternal side) and Ireland (maternal side). A strong motivation then was to determine what drove their decision making to leave their native countries for a land half a world away. In addition, I wanted to know about the family they left behind when they set out to establish their new homes. Just a desire to know more about my family. There were no illusions of a new career in genealogy (more about this is a subsequent post).
This blog started as a means by which I could share the knowledge I have acquired about the family history with family members who now live great distances from each other. I had no idea that it would also serve as a means of connecting with some of those family members 'left behind.' I have been amazed at those "cousin connections" that have emerged because a blog post caught someone's attention in other parts of Canada, in the United States, in Finland, Australia, Scotland, or Luxembourg, and, has led to connecting through email and social media like Facebook. This, in the past year, has led to face to face meetings.
This past week another 'face to face' connection has occurred as my second cousin Pamela Gaull has journeyed from her current home in England to visit Toronto, Ontario to have a chance to meet with me and other cousins. I have shared some of the story previously in the blog about how Pamela and I initially connected and that she is the author of the novel The Darkness of Dreams.
Aside from getting together during her visit here to chat and drink voluminous amounts of coffee (me!), I had the pleasure of touring Pamela around to show her the homes that our common ancestors lived in up to 100 years ago when members of the Gaull family first immigrated to Canada.
Below are two photos from our travels today. In the first, Pamela is with my father, Lewis Hadden. Pamela's grandfather, John Stalker Gaull, and my father's grandmother, Jessie McKenzie Gaull, were brother and sister. Pamela and Lewis then share a great grandfather in John Gaull. In the second photo, I am seated with Pamela at a restaurant where we stopped for lunch. Connecting with the family 'left behind' makes the hours of research work all the more worthwhile - they were already enjoyable!

I have found the same thing - what started as a curiosity about my ancestors has blossomed into embracing a huge family of distant cousins. Not all of them are into the researching aspect, but so many are grateful for the glimpse of our ancestors lives, and we have become friends, however distant. I have enjoyed several face to face meetings and also reunited previously separated branches of the family. What started as an interest in family history over 20 years ago continues to evolve... the amazing journey continues!ReplyDelete
It's always fun to meet face-to-face. Thanks for sharing your family photos. Your experience illustrates one of the best reasons to have a genealogy blog.ReplyDelete

I really like this outfit. It's basically an outfit I'd put on to describe how I dress, mix of black, grey and white in various textures and print with a pop of colour in the form of a hat. It's a very simple and casual outfit but one of those outfits I always seem to be drawn to those types of outfits in this weather for comfort & warmth! Also wanted to make a note of these disco pants from New Look. I really really like them, they have the same look as Disco Pants without any of the being sucked in and can hardly move. Kinda like day time Disco Pants I guess! Theres a time and a place to be all sucked in and uncomfortable!
Tonight Im off to watch the latest Hobbit film, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. I thought the first one was a bit slow paced, but a lot of people I know have said that this one is much better than the first. I've been so lazy today. I cant get back into the swing of working from home again. I filmed today which I'll edit tomorrow (its a haul video - subscribe to my channel!) and Im supposed to be filming with Zoe tomorrow which should be good. It's gonna be pretty fun I think!

With the how and when of college football playoffs determined, it's time to lock in the where.
The conference commissioners in charge of putting together the four-team playoff system that will start after the 2014 regular season will meet starting Tuesday in Pasadena, Calif.
At the top of their agenda: Pick three more bowls to be used in the semifinal rotation and decide on a site for the first national championship game.
"It will be another big step," BCS executive director Bill Hancock said recently.
True, though all signs point toward these big steps being foregone conclusions. The Fiesta, Cotton and Chick-fil-A bowls are the overwhelming favorites to be chosen for the playoff rotation, and have been for a while. So much so that only one other bowl - the Holiday Bowl in San Diego - even put in a bid to be part of the system that will replace the Bowl Championship Series.
"I was a little surprised we didn't get more," Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said.
Hancock said there was plenty of interest even though it didn't result in bids.
"I talked to 10 or 12 bowls about it," he said. "I think for various reasons people decided, many of the bowls decided, they'd rather go in a different direction. Some wanted to stick with their conference contracts, others couldn't meet specs for 55,000 seat stadiums.
"We're not disappointed with the numbers. We have good options and there are terrific stadiums."
Bowlsby conceded the appearance of three bowls having the inside track to the playoff rotation might have deterred others from bidding.
Even Holiday Bowl organizers acknowledge they are a big underdog.
"We know it's a tough competition," Holiday Bowl executive director Bruce Binkowski said. "But we felt it was incumbent upon us to make a bid.
"It's tough to beat out the incumbents."
As for the site of the first national championship game, which will be played Jan. 12, 2015, the front-runner is Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of not only the Dallas Cowboys but the Cotton Bowl.
It's not quite a done deal. Tampa, Fla., also put in a bid that is being considered. But it'll be hard to pass up playing the first national title game of the playoff era in the Dallas Cowboys' state-of-the-art football palace.
The new postseason system will also get a name this week.
"It will be simple," Hancock said. "It will not be cutesy. And it will be descriptive. I've seen too many people make mistakes by trying to be cutesy."
Also on the agenda will be the selection committee that will pick the final four. The commissioners want a panel similar to the one that picks the field for the NCAA basketball tournament, composed of athletic directors and conference commissioners.
That won't be finished this week, but Hancock hopes when the commissioners leave southern California, the selection committee will be the only major part of the new postseason plan still hanging.
"I know the commissioners are very interested in moving the needle on it," he said. "I'm sure it will get a fair amount of discussion."

joelpace brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 216 Designs von 52 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are forming a new law firm in Austin, Texas and need a new logo that is clean and simple that will be used on our website and on the entire paper system. Has to be able to also be good in b&W and/or grey scale.
Levatino|Pace LLP
Integrity is our Practice
Desired Color Scheme:
Desired Style:
Professional, yet vibrant and clean. Not old and stuffy.
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
The new name of the firm is Levatino|Pace LLP. We are two partners at a larger firm and are leaving to start our own. We are both young and vibrant and want the logo to reflect both professionalism (we're lawyers) and the younger and more creative aspect of our generation. We like blue as a main color, BUT FEEL FREE TO TAKE LIBERTIES IF YOU FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT YOUR DESIGN OR CONCEPT. We like the use of the "bar" between the names (will consider alternatives to, i.e., + - or other) and to use color in that element. We need vector based graphics (eps, ai, and/or pdf) so we can scale and reproduce. Will be used on all marketing materials, website, etc. Due to costs concerns, we need to be able to print the logo on a b&w laser and still get good results. We prefer Sans Serif fonts for all as the Serif fonts look too old and stuffy. We prefer to have the logo with and without the tag line. In order to open up the creativity, WE WILL ACCEPT ALTERNATIVE COLOR SCHEMES. WE STILL PREFER THE BLUE, BUT WE WANT TO SEE WHAT OTHER OPTIONS MAY EXIST. Remember - we're a law firm. We have to be some what conservative. Winner has to turn over all rights to design and provide all font specifications and files prior to payment.

Other performers also included in concert
A concert Saturday at the Vernon Park Mall promises singing, dancing and something for everyone.
The big name is J.Locke, a North Carolina native who has generated interest around the country and on the Web through his musical interpretation of the world in which we live � music that, according to him, moves, teaches and invokes growth.
His debut album �God Sent Me,� by SoundMuzik Group, and his first certified breakout single, �So Alive,� have shown balance between a man finding his ministry in music and his ability to touch people regardless of race or social background.
He was born Almar J. Locke and feels that the music he creates represents himself, so it�s only right to use his real name. He is a hip hop artist, but his music represents a different kind of artistry. He crafts a gospel message, with no cursing, violence, drug references or woman degrading mostly against, he says, what the majority of today�s popular hip hop music stands for.
In the concert, J.Locke will be joined by the United Gospel Choir of Eastern North Carolina, J-Tap and Jennifer Claude. After the concert, all the performers will be available to meet and chat at the Kinston Bible Bookstore, where CDs will be available for purchase and J.Locke�s autograph.
For more about J.Locke, go to reverbnation.com/jlocke, or follow him on Twitter or Facebook.

Christ Is Risen!

Can I ask what jurisdiction you are a part of? Different groups have different qualifications. Some groups require you to have a certain degree from an Orthodox seminary to be a priest. With other groups, like ROCOR, you don't even have to go to seminary to become a priest (which is good, because their seminary teaches primarily in Russian), if you can find a good priest who is willing to train you, and if the bishop is ok with that setup. It differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. As sort of an aside, not that this is official teaching or anything, but personally I think that everyone who becomes a priest should be made to read the various texts on the priesthood written over the years, by St. Gregory the Great, St. Gregory the Theologian, St. John Chrysostom, St. Ambrose of Milan, and even more current ones like those by St. John of Kronstadt and Fr. Alexander Elchaninov. (the first four I mentioned are all available online for free at CCEL)
