An extract from "The London Gazette," dated 13th May, 1919, records the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery and self-sacrifice on the 21st March, 1918, at the Race Course Redoubt, near Grugies. For seven hours he held this most important post, and though twice wounded and practically single-handed, he maintained his position until another section could be got to his help. On two occasions, with two N.C.O.'s only, he got out on top under heavy machine gun and rifle fire, and cleared the enemy out of the trench, killing many. He continued to repel attack after attack until he was mortally wounded and collapsed. His valour, self-sacrifice and example were of the highest order."

The original entrance to the theme park.

Over the years, Universal Studios Florida has not limited itself to attractions based on its own vast film library. It has occasionally licensed popular characters from other rival studios, many of whom did not operate theme parks themselves. Some examples include Ghostbusters and Men in Black, (Sony's Columbia Pictures), The Simpsons (20th Century Fox) and Shrek (DreamWorks Animation).

 

Many of the park's past and present attractions were developed with the actual creators of the films they were based on, and feature the original stars as part of the experience. Steven Spielberg helped create E.T. Adventure and was a creative consultant for Back to the Future: The Ride, Twister...Ride it Out, An American Tail Theatre, Jaws, Men in Black: Alien Attack and Transformers: The Ride.

 

In many current rides, the original stars reprised their film roles including: Rip Torn and Will Smith in Men in Black: Alien Attack, Brendan Fraser for Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride, Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt in Twister...Ride it Out, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Edward Furlong and Linda Hamilton reprised their roles for Terminator 2: 3-D Battle Across Time, Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow for Shrek 4D, Steve Carell, Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, and Elsie Fisher reprised their roles from Despicable Me for Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem, and Peter Cullen and Frank Welker reprised their roles as Optimus Prime and Megatron for Transformers: The Ride.

 

In many former rides, the many original stars were also to reprise their film roles such as: Christopher Lloyd and Thomas F. Wilson in Back to the Future: The Ride, Roy Scheider recorded a voice over for the conclusion of Jaws, Alfred Hitchcock and Anthony Perkins appeared in Alfred Hitchcock: The Art of Making Movies, additionally, various Nicktoon voice actors reprised their roles in Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast.

 

Park history[edit]

 

From its inception in 1982,[3] Universal Studios Florida was designed as a theme park and a working studio. It was also the first time that Universal Studios had constructed an amusement park "from the ground up." However, the proposed project was put on hold until 1986, when a meeting between Steven Spielberg, a co-founder for the park, and Peter N. Alexander prompted for the creation of a Back to the Future simulator ride in addition to the already planned King Kong based ride.[4]

 

A major component of the original park in Hollywood is its studio tour, which featured several special-effects exhibits and encounters built into the tour, such as an attack by the great white shark from the film Jaws. For its Florida park, Universal Studios took the concepts of the Hollywood tour scenes and developed them into larger, stand-alone attractions. As an example, in Hollywood, the studio tour trams travel close to a shoreline and are "attacked" by Jaws before they travel to the next part of the tour. In Florida, guests entered the "Jaws" attraction and would board a boat touring the fictitious Amity Harbor, where they encountered the shark, then exited back into the park at the conclusion of the attraction. Universal Studios Florida originally had a Studio Tour attraction that visited the production facilities, but that tour has since been discontinued.

 

Branding[edit]

 

Previous slogans for Universal Studios Florida were: See the Stars. Ride the Movies. (1990 - 1998); No one makes believe like we do! (1990 - 1998); Ride the Movies (1998 - 2008); Jump into the Action (2008–2012). The current slogan is: Experience the Movies (2012–present).

Previous attractions[edit]

The previous icon of the Jaws ride is still a popular photo spot.

Like all theme parks, attractions are sometimes closed due to aging and replaced with more contemporary attractions. Universal has seen this happen several times. Some notable closures include Kongfrontation, Back to the Future: The Ride, The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera and Jaws. The closures of Kongfrontation, Back to the Future, and Jaws have been given homages by the park to honor veteran visitors who revered the former rides.

Universal Studios Florida features seven themed areas all situated around a large lagoon. In 2012, this lagoon was the site of Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular: 100 Years of Movie Memories, a thematic display that showcased scenes from various Universal films, featuring lasers, projectors and fountains, and pyrotechnics.

 

The seven surrounding themed areas, clockwise from the entrance, are Production Central, New York, San Francisco, London/Diagon Alley, World Expo, Woody Woodpecker's Kidzone and Hollywood.

I can’t verify this you understand, but according to legend, on a day long ago, Chief Siskiyou, from a mountain tribe called Nah-So-Mah, traveled with his beautiful daughter Princess Ewauna to the sea to visit with the four tribes they called Wecoma.

 

In their honor, the Wecoma planned a great feast. They roasted huge quantities of game, and steamed clams and mussels. Pots were full of honey and huckleberries.

 

Because of the festivities being near the sea, the Wecoma were fearful that Seatka, the very powerful and very evil spirit of the sea, might do something to harm the guests. To prevent that, the four chiefs had posted guards on the bluffs overlooking the festivities.

 

Being from the mountains, Princess Ewauna was captivated by the sea. After the feast, when the people were sleeping, she slipped away from camp, carrying a basket with her cat and kittens nestled inside, and followed by her faithful dog, Komax.

 

In the mountains, the Nah-So-Mah Tribe had no evil spirits, so Ewauna had no fear of Seatka. In her innocence, she ran into the water and swam far out into the sea. Seatka rose to the surface and followed her as she swam further and further out. Komax barked and barked a warning, but the princess could not hear, and she was captured by the evil Seatka! Komax, carrying the basketful of kittens in his teeth dove into the water in an attempt to rescue his mistress, and bit Seatka on the hand. Screaming loudly, Seatka threw the dogs and kittens into the sea.

 

Seatka tried and tried to force Ewauna to look into his eyes. Knowing this was the source of his power she refused. Komax made it back to shore and howled and howled, attracting the attention of Chief Siskiyou and the others. When they got to the shore, in the early light of dawn, they saw the lovely face of Princess Ewauna gazing skyward, and the cat and her kittens all in the sea. In time they turned to stone.

 

As I said, I can’t verify this.

American Office Workers Ban Long Hemline

 

Office girls working in New York's Empire State Building have announced that they have formed an association, pledged not to wear the new long skirts that fashion dictators are foistering on women the world over.

 

The founder of the movement, gave various reasons for the stand the club is taking. Typical complaints from some of the members are: "I would feel just like a tent," "I don't want to look as though I am always sitting down," and "Think of the dirt we would pick up riding to work on the sub-way."

 

Economic reasons are the strongest however; to wear the new fashions they must junk their present wardrobe; they will ask for rises to cope with their buying and apparently if they do not get the rise they go on strike.

 

And so the association slogan is: "To save America, save the hemline first."

The Grand Cherokee's origins date back to 1983 when American Motors Corporation (AMC) was designing a successor to the Jeep Cherokee. Three outside (non-AMC) designers—Larry Shinoda, Alain Clenet, and Giorgetto Giugiaro—were also under contract with AMC to create and build a clay model of the Cherokee XJ replacement, then known as the "XJC" project. However, the basic design for the Cherokee's replacement was well under way by AMC's in-house designers and the 1989 Jeep Concept 1 show car foretold the basic design.

 

The Grand Cherokee thus became the first Chrysler-badged Jeep product. Development work for the new Jeep model continued and Chrysler's employees (after the 1987 buyout of AMC) were eager for a late-1980s release date; however, CEO Lee Iacocca was pushing for redesigned Chrysler minivans, thus delaying the Grand Cherokee's release until late 1992 as an Explorer competitor. Unlike the Explorer, the Grand Cherokee utilized monocoque (unibody) construction, whereas the Explorer was a derivative of the Ranger pickup with a separate body-on-frame.

 

When it was first introduced in April 1992 as an early 1993 model year vehicle, the Grand Cherokee only had one powertrain choice: the 4.0 L AMC-derived straight-six engine that made 190 horsepower (193 PS; 142 kW). This became the "volume" engine for the Grand Cherokee.

 

In 1997, for the 1998 model year, a variant of the top-level Grand Cherokee Limited, the "5.9 Limited" was introduced. Jeep ads claimed it to be the "world's fastest sport utility vehicle", verified by third-party testing. The primary improvements in the 5.9 Limited version included a 245-horsepower (248 PS; 183 kW) 5.9 L OHV V8 engine, heavy-duty 46RE automatic transmission.

Although it's a relatively busy at sunset time, avenue du baobab in the vicinity of Morondava it's a great place to visit.

As I told before it's not a desert place and there were some tourists wandering around wishing to take photos too.

As I wanted to try to isolate them from my images, in this chance, as I saw this chart coming, I waited fot it and run back at once using itself to cover a small group of tourists along the way.

 

Baobab

The baobabs (Adansonia), occasionally known colloquially as "monkey-bread trees", are a genus of eight species of trees, native to Madagascar (the centre of diversity, with six species), and Africa and Australia (one species in each). The species reach heights of between 5–25 m (exceptionally 30 m) tall, and up to 7 m (exceptionally 11 m) in trunk diameter.

 

They are noted for storing water inside the swollen trunk, with the capacity to store up to 120,000 litres of water to endure the harsh drought conditions particular to each region. All occur in seasonally arid areas, and are deciduous, shedding their leaves during the dry season. Some are reputed to be many thousands of years old, though as the wood does not produce annual growth rings, this is impossible to verify; few botanists give any credence to these claims of extreme age.

 

The Madagascan species are important components of the Madagascar dry deciduous forests. Within that biome, A. madagascariensis and A. rubrostipa occur specifically in the Anjajavy Forest, sometimes growing out of the tsingy limestone itself.

 

Uses

The leaves are also common as a leaf vegetable throughout the area of mainland African distribution, including Malawi, Zimbabwe, and the Sahel. They are eaten both fresh and in the form of a dry powder. In Nigeria, the leaves are locally known as kuka, and are used to make kuka soup. The dry pulp of the fruit, after separation from the seeds and fibers, is eaten directly or mixed into porridge or milk. The seeds are most used as a thickener for soups, but may also be fermented into a seasoning, roasted for direct consumption, or pounded to extract vegetable oil.

The tree also provides a source of fibre, dye, and fuel.

The boab was used by Indigenous Australians as a source of water and food; the leaves were used medicinally. They also painted and carved the outside of the fruits, and wore them as ornaments. A very large, hollow boab south of Derby, Western Australia was used in the 1890s as a lockup for Aboriginal prisoners on their way to Derby for sentencing. The Boab Prison Tree still stands and is now a tourist attraction.

Inside the Launch Abort System Facility (LASF) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a test version of the Orion crew module has been integrated with the Launch Abort System (LAS) on May 18, 2019. It is being lifted by crane for transfer to a KAMAG transporter. The test vehicle and the LAS will be used for the Orion Ascent Abort-2 (AA-2) Flight Test. AA-2 is a full-stress test of the LAS, planned for July 2. AA-2 will launch from Space Launch Complex 46, carrying a fully functional LAS and a 22,000-pound Orion test vehicle to an altitude of 31,000 feet and traveling at more than 1,000 miles an hour. The test will verify the LAS can steer the crew module and astronauts aboard to safety if an emergency occurs during ascent on the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. NASA's Orion and Exploration Ground Systems programs, contractors Jacob's, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, in conjunction with the Air Force Space and Missile Center's Launch Operations branch and the 45th Space Wing are performing flight operations for AA-2.

It's no coincidence that Pines International, the same company that produced the first #greensuperfood 1976, introduced the World’s first Non-GMO Project Verified alfalfa leaf.

 

During its 40 years, Pines helped establish national organic standards and provided significant financial assistance and leadership to dozens of organizations dedicated to sustainability and environmental causes. Pines has also been speaking out and active in educating consumers about the increased #herbicide and #pesticide residue in our food supply caused by GMOs.

 

In the past several years, Pines organic farm families joined with others to speak out against allowing GMO alfalfa. Despite strong objection, the government now allows alfalfa leaf that has been genetically modified to tolerate direct spray of herbicide.

 

Most alfalfa leaf now on the market is #GMO because those who grow alfalfa for natural food products also grow it as feed for the meat industry. Killing weeds with poison for their animal feed is more profitable for them.

 

Our certified #organic #gmofree alfalfa is also a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable like #PinesWheatGrass. Most people do not eat enough dark green #vegetables to protect their health. Pines specializes in convenient and economical products to help you and your family increase your dark green #vegetable #nutrition.

 

Pines' alfalfa is used in our alfalfa tablets and powder as well as Green Duo, which is a 50/50 blend of #alfalfa and #wheatgrass. #GreenDuo is available in both capsules and powder.

 

Another tasty product is #MightyGreens, a simple-but-effective blend of alfalfa and wheatgrass with only two additional ingredients for more #plantbasedprotein and flavor. For a list of stores or to order directly, please visit wheatgrass.com

 

Pines Is the only wheatgrass and alfalfa producer to follow the standards established in 1937 by Charles F. Schnabel, the father of wheatgrass.

VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESSES: VA Improved Its Verification Program but Lacks an Effective Operational Plan for Ongoing Efforts

 

Note: VA has been piloting a new verification process, as discussed later in this report.

 

More information at: www.davidtomberlin.blog Preacher David Tomberlin “Defends” Multiple Thai Wives, Prostitution Scandal

Many news reports verify that preacher David Tomberlin, 45, has in fact collected multiple “wives,” scattering children with several women throughout Southeast Asia while carrying on an international Christian ministry. Furthermore, in 2017, an arrest warrant for Tomberlin was issued in Pattaya, Thailand (literally known as “sex capital of the world” for its prostitution trade), where his newest and youngest wife (age 20, pictured wearing braces) was arrested for kidnapping his children from two of his other partners.

As of the beginning of August 2018, the story is only now beginning to break outside of Southeast Asia.

In several cringy “defense” videos, Tomberlin does not mention one concrete detail about the case (“shoo away, nothing to see here”), lending solid veracity to the reported facts in the opinion of most viewers who commented.

Tomberlin minimizes the kidnapping charges - only referring to a “custody” issue, and refrains from any mention of juggling multiple Thai “wives.” He does not address news agency text evidence that he engaged in rampant prostitution as well, all while conducting Christian ministry, Tomberlin spends the bulk of the video attacking the motives and theology of ministers who uncovered his behavior to the American church. Online commenters have mostly viewed this as “gaslighting,” as Tomberlin manipulatively attacks his accusers and their families while simultaneously playing the victim and avoiding any facts about his case. Most viewers were not convinced by his “fast talking,” and say he intentionally misrepresents the views of his “opponents,” all in an effort to question their motives and spin facts as “fake news” contrived by theological adversaries. His recent explanations get more outlandish claiming that gays, Hindus and Buddhist doctors are in a consipiracy to attack him by manufacturing news stories.

It is unclear whether Tomberlin has gotten the kidnapping charges dropped over the past year, or settled with the women and authorities out of court.

Sources say Tomberlin has worked feverishly behind the scenes, threatening litigation to multiple Thai web sites to squelch English versions of the story with the strength of an intimidating American attorney “who gets 35 percent.” This effort to protect his ministry reputation was not ultimately successful. However it did take an entire year for the scandal to surface in American and Australian church networks since it was first reported in Pattaya. It is unclear how many churches currently listed on Tomberlin’s speaking calendar have even heard the news.

Tomberlin’s “defense” videos show him appearing to glance at what may be a prepared statement behind the camera or wearing sunglasses. He does vaguely reference an incident “from 10 years ago.” This likely refers to his divorce from then wife Alice, of Hong Kong, who pre-dated all the other Thai women and alleged prostitutes. However, Tomberlin may have been referencing his known affair with a popular, married Christian worship leader from the same time frame a decade ago. All of these incidents began almost immediately after the widely televised Lakeland Revival in 2008, in which Tomberlin was the “announcement guy” under evangelist Todd Bentley.

Tomberlin is founder of David Tomberlin Ministries at www.davidtomberlin.com

This came along before my cataract surgery, so I "farmed out" the verification, even though I was sure it was legitimate. What I couldn't tell was small details... I've since had cataract surgery, but because of some of the lunatics I've encountered on the web, I still double verify and re-corroborate. I have also learned it's a waste of time to pamper the gutless f**kheaded loudmouths who spew bullshit on the web as "authorities". They scum. And I've started treating the bastards just as they deserve.

 

In person and via photography, verified and corroborated with the most trustworthy, heavily credentialed, senior, and sane collectors I know--about a half dozen of them!!--that this "last cartouche" (the DAS is NOT a cartouche--no writing or letters! Check a dictionary for the old "Egyptian" correct definition and its basis if you doubt that... ) butt stock is authentic, albeit it's been sanded. Not too many dings. No cracks, no paint, weird Danish or other stampings...

 

The metal will be removed before I dump it for something I actually need.

 

Weirdly, this was about the very LAST item I was looking for or wanted when I stumbled across this, and upon cleanup, contacted the network of "usual suspects" because I no longer trust my eyesight on wood. Looking back, I doubt if I've seen two dozen of these. They're fairly close to being the least common of the letter cartouched butt stocks.

 

Last one I had was on an old D.C.M. rifle, from an estate, and had been surmarked with a DAS (Defense Acceptance Stamp). It, too, was absolutely authentic, and appeared on an all original rifle right in that low 4 million area where one would figure such things might've happened.

 

Then there's the even weirder tale of "JLG", the initials of an expired shooter, with which he had emblazoned his M1 and several other firearms and appliancs, along with his social security number.

 

Had one specimen whose actual wood dated from about 1939, but also bearing an undoubted authentic "JLG" cartouche. Obviously, it sat somewhere at the armory, probably coming off a rejected rifle, then got marked MUCH later. The imbecile who claimed it was "fake" was spewing nonsense out his idiotic butt.

  

Anyway, it's a certainty. Not some loudmouth's assertion or slimy internet "proof"!! Strange find. There are handguards with it which "color match", but I remain unconvinced they're "correct" to it, and I have other uses for them, anyway.

> havent heard from you since long time i hope all is well with you..

 

Nice to hear from you. I don’t visit bugznet very often.. it’s just so darned slow. It takes average 5 minutes to load a page on dialup. And don’t post photos anymore for various reasons. My pages are tagged as “adult only” and the age verification page people have to go through suggests they visit one of the buzznet porn sites. So I can’t have my family come visit my page anymore. You never know what kinda weird shit is going to be in the advertisments on the right of the page. Anything from drunk college girls to emo boys kissing. It’s just not a family friendly site. Both my parents are ministers so I don’t feel comfortable sending them to buzznet to look at my photos. Even though my kids are adults, I don’t feel comfortable sending them to my buzznet page. I used to post a lot of motorsports photos, but don’t feel comfortable sending racecar drivers and team members to my site and having to go through age verification that suggests they should visit an adult content site.

 

A lot of my account is disabled, like I’m not allowed to have buzzwords. I guess stevey didn’t like that I was getting 500+ visits a day so had to screw with my account. It’s a bit discouraging anyway when the site loses your photos every time they have another server crash (frequentlyAnd I havn’t been taking many photos. My camera broke. I had a Minolta 7i about 9 months when the zoom lens fell off the camera. It cost as much to buy another same camera as it did to have the old one repaired. Plus I had just bought an $80 TTL flash that works only on that camera. So I bought another Minolta 7i, it took terrible photos, very noisy. It lasted me 2 months when the zoom lens did the same exact thing.. it hasn’t “fallen out” yet, but it’s feels exactly like the other one did just before it fell out. I have some small low megapixel cameras, but it’s hard to get too enthoused about taking photos with them. My cell phone has a 1.3 megapixel camera, but takes extremely poor quality photos (worse than the average cellphone camera.)

 

Another reason I doubt I will ever post here again.. I’m getting tired of finding my photos that I had posted here in use on commercial web sites. I’m not the only one.. other people are finding their photos used on commercial web sites too. So either many companies are using buzznet for a Free Stock Photo site, or buzznet is selling peoples photos. By default when people join their account is set so everything they post becomes Public Domain. And they don’t provide for displaying a Full Copyright Notice / All Rights Reserved. The best you can do is Creative Commons / Share Alike, which is basicly useless. And it even says right on everyones page “Put my photos on your page:” where the Creative Commons copyright notice USED to be.

 

But maybe if I ever get any crappy photos of guys from pop bands wearing more face paint than a $20 whore, I’ll post them :>

 

In the meantime you can keep up with my ramblings and musical offerings at dfduck.net/

my message after I read Dfducks message :

 

dear df duck

if you do not object , i would like to post this message in its entirety at my buzz.. i feel all should know and all sites need people like us , we are different so people notice us , we more you than me as you are from the world that buzznet caters too, and americans are growing up with so many fontiers opening up.

sorry asbout your camera, but my humble advise stick to a canon or a nikon, there is absolutely no alternative.

and it is a soul absorbing thought to hear from you.. and blog site have to keep their eyes open to all views good bad or ugly…

I on my part found buzznet a mature site , i have taken a lot of knocks , even Indian blog sites are pedestrian and suck and more color biased . Indian blog sites the ones like Sulekha were made for the pure Brahamanic, rights of admission undesrerved..

muslims dogs and dalits not allowed..

Take care.. awaiting your positive response ..

firoze shakir

 

Firoze,

 

> if you do not object , i would like to post this message in its entirety at my buzz..

 

Sure you can post it. It’s not a secret how I feel :>

 

> but my humble advise stick to a canon or a nikon,

I have been window shopping cameras. The ones I’d like to have are way out of my price range. I need another Minolta like I need another hole in my head.. but.. if I find a Dimage 7-family for less than $100 I’ll grab it. Just because I had just bought an $80 TTL flash that only works on that camera.

 

Right now the two top cameras on my list, in the range I figure I can fit into the budget maybe early next year are;

 

Canon EOS D30, 3.3 mega pixel

Good: true SLR, CMOS sensor, metal body, any EF lenses I got for it would still fit a newer Canon SLR later.

Bad: Low resolution (but the cmos clarity might be a worthy trade)

 

Canon PowerShot S2 IS, 5.0 mega pixel

Good: 12x zoom, 0 inch macro, anti shake, compact size, has a nice flip-out and tilt LCD display (though I prefer to look through the viewfinder.)

Bad: Fixed lens, CCD sensor, plastic body.

 

For now.. I have a couple old Kodak DC5000, 2.1 megapixel point n shoot. Very rugged, can use them with gloves on. Can use them in rain or dust. They only have 3x optical zoom but takes nice little photos.

It’s odd to think that man has killed each other since the beginning of time simply for believing differently than each other. It’s not going to change no matter how much arm flailing the one world order crowd do. They can create a global socialism and police many laws dictating how you are to think and act, but people will still hate people who are different than themselves. I don’t understand it.. and don’t want to.

 

I have studied quite a few different religions. I particularly enjoy studying cults. All my grandparents, one great grandmother, both my parents, and various other relatives, joined a cult in the early 1940’s called Mankind United. In the late 1940s it legally because a “church” for tax reasons, and renamed it Christ’s Church of the Golden Rule. Their leader, a common traveling salesman, taught that he was going to take everyone to colonize a planet. It was directly on the other side of the sun.. thats why you can’t see it. My grandfather was the head engineer going to build the rocket ship. He was the smartest person I’ve ever known.. I believe he could have built one. In 1955 their Prophet Salesman got tired of the government hounding him for millions of dollars he owed from a class action suit. So he announced that his followers didn’t deserve to be saved. He dissapeared. Never to be heard of again. Colonizing another planet is a fairly common religious theme. Both my grandfather and great grandmother believed in a “bible” called Oespie that was written in the mid 1800’s. It is an interesting read if nothing else.. sort of a cross of ancient Greek mythology with Star Trek.

 

Jumping forward to the early 1970s.. I still had a few relatives livng in the “church”. We lived not a few towns away from the 8,000 acre ranch they owned. In fact they’re still there, and today are the longest surviving American socioreligious organization. And not even one of the current members knows the history I know of it. Along comes Jim Jones and his People’s Temple. I went to school with his son and went over his house a lot after school. Jones wanted to merge his cult with their socioreligous society. They wanted nothing to do with it, not believing in one person rule, or self proclaimed prophets (which is ironic for a group started by a salesman.) Jones came up with a plan to inter-marry the two groups to merge the two “churches”. My dad was seeing one of the People’s Temple women. He “doesn’t remember” now but I remember them discussing marriage. Shortly after Jones took his People’s Temple group to Guianna, where they gave them all poison coolaid and died. She went, and died. My dad didn’t.

 

Christ’s Church of the Golden Rule today has the largest plant seed bank in the world.

 

Shit, I could write a book Firoze :>

 

I allow dogs in my house (but no fucking monkeys!) :>

Description :

Oslo, Norway: The suspect in Norway's twin attacks that killed at least 92 people says he acted alone, police said Sunday, after some witness accounts said a second gunman had taken part in a mass shooting.

But police are still trying to establish whether there was "one or several" shooters at Friday's attack on a Labour Party youth meeting on Utoeya island, northwest of Oslo, police commissioner Sveinung Sponheim told journalists.

Norway suspect 'deemed killings necessary'

A suspected right-wing fanatic accused of killing at least 92 people deemed his acts "atrocious" yet "necessary" as Norway mourned victims of the nation's worst attacks since World War Two.

Police were hunting on Sunday to see if a possible second gunman took part in the shooting massacre and bomb attack on Friday that traumatised a normally peaceful Nordic country.

Anders Behring Breivik comments

In his first comment via a lawyer since he was arrested, 32-year-old Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik expressed willingness to explain himself in court at a hearing likely to be held on Monday about extending protective custody.

"He has said that he believed the actions were atrocious, but that in his head they were necessary," lawyer Geir Lippestad told independent TV2 news.

Police said Breivik gave himself up after admitting to a massacre in which at least 85 people died, mostly young people attending a summer camp of the youth wing of Norway's ruling Labour Party on an idyllic island.

Breivik was also arrested for the bombing of Oslo's government district that killed seven people hours earlier. Norway's toughest sentence is 21 years in jail. Survivors, relatives of those killed and supporters planned a procession to mourn the dead at Sundvollen on Sunday, near the island where the massacre took place.

Police defend delays

The comments from Breivik came as reports said police arrived at the island massacre about an hour and a half after he first opened fire, slowed because they didn't have quick access to a helicopter and then couldn't find a boat to make their way to the scene just several hundred yards offshore.

Survivors of the shooting spree have described hiding and fleeing into the water to escape the gunman, but a police briefing Saturday detailed for the first time how long the terror lasted - and how long victims waited for help.

Manifesto and video against multiculturalism

King Harald would attend a service in Oslo cathedral, a few hundred metres (yards) from where a bomb devastated government buildings including the offices of Labour Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.

Breivik hated "cultural marxists", wanted a "crusade" against the spread of Islam and liked guns and weightlifting, web postings, acquaintances and officials said.

A video posted to the YouTube website showed several pictures of Breivik, including one of him in a Navy Seal type scuba diving outfit pointing an automatic weapon. "Before we can start our crusade we must do our duty by decimating cultural marxism," said a caption under the video called "Knights Templar 2083" on the YouTube website, which took down the video on Saturday.

A Norwegian website provided a link to a 1,500 page electronic manifesto which says Breivik was the author. It was not possible to verify who posted the video or wrote the book.

"Once you decide to strike, it is better to kill too many than not enough, or you risk reducing the desired ideological impact of the strike," the book said.

Norway has traditionally been open to immigration, which has been criticised by the Progress Party, of which Breivik was for a short time a member. The Labour Party, whose youth camp Breivik attacked, has long been in favour of immigration.

About 100 people stood solemnly early on Sunday at a makeshift vigil near Oslo's main church, laying flowers and lighting candles. Soldiers with guns and wearing bullet-proof vests blocked streets leading to the government district.

"We are all in sorrow, everybody is scared," said Imran Shah, a Norwegian taxi driver of Pakistani heritage, as a light summer drizzle fell on unusually empty Oslo streets.

Some terrified survivors of the shooting rampage said bullets came from at least two sides. "We are not at all certain" about whether he acted alone, police chief Sveinung Sponheim said. "That is one of the things that the investigation will concentrate on."

 

Witnesses

Witnesses said the gunman, wearing a police uniform, was able to shoot unchallenged for a prolonged period. He picked off his victims on Utoeya island northwest of Oslo forcing youngsters to scatter in panic or to jump into the lake to swim for the mainland.

"I heard screams. I heard people begging for their lives and I heard shots. He just blew them away," Labour Party youth member Erik Kursetgjerde, 18, told Reuters.

"I was certain I was going to die," he said. "People ran everywhere. They panicked and climbed into trees. People got trampled."

Home-grown militant

The suspect, tall and blond, owned an organic farming company called Breivik Geofarm, which a supply firm said he had used to buy fertiliser -- possibly to make the Oslo bomb.

Home-grown anti-government militants have struck elsewhere in the past, notably in the United States, where Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people with a truck bomb in Oklahoma City in 1995.

The district attacked is the heart of power in Norway. But security is not tight in a country unused to such violence and better known for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize and mediating in conflicts, including the Middle East and Sri Lanka.

The history of roses in the People's Garden

The People's Garden, located between the Imperial Palace and the ring road is famous for its beautiful roses:

1000 standard roses

4000 Floribunda,

300 rambling roses,

(Also called Rose Park) 200 shrub roses.

Noteworthy is the diversity: there are about 400 varieties, including very old plants:

1859 - Rubens

1913 - Pearl of the Vienna Woods

1919 - Jean C.N. Forestier

The above amounts are from the Federal Gardens. My own count has brought other results:

730 tree roses

2300 Floribunda

132 rambling roses

100 shrub roses

That's about 3300 roses in total. Approx. 270 species I was able to verify. Approx. 50 rose bushes were not labeled. Some varieties come very often, others only once or twice.

Molineux 1994

Rubens 1859

Medialis 1993

Once flourished here Lilac and Rhododendron bushes

1823 People's Garden was opened with the Temple of Theseus. Then made ​​multiple extensions.

The part of today's "Rosarium" along the Ring Road was built in 1862. (Picture fence 1874)

What is so obvious to today's Vienna, was not always so: most of the beds in the People's Garden originally were planted with lilac and rhododendron.

Only after the second World War II it was converted to the present generous rose jewelry.

Since then grow along the ring side creepers, high stem and floribunda roses. On the side of Heroes Square, with the outputs, shrub roses were placed, among which there are also some wild roses.

1889 emerged the Grillparzer Monument.

Hybrid Tea Rose

Rambling Rose

At the Roses in the People´s Garden are hanging labels (if they do not fall victim to vandals or for souvenirs) with the year indication of breeding, the name of breeding and botanical description:

Hybrid Tea Rose (TB): 1 master, 1 flower;

Florybunda (Flb): 1 strain, many flowers;

English Rose (Engl): mixture of old and modern varieties Tb and Flb.

Called Schlingrose, also climbing rose

Florybunda: 1 strain, many flowers (Donauprinzessin)

Shrub Roses - Floribunda - Tree roses - Climbing Roses

Even as a child, we hear the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but roses have no thorns, but spines. Thorns are fused directly to the root and can not be easily removed as spines (upper wooden containers called).

All roses belong to the bush family (in contrast to perennials that "disappear" in the winter). Nevertheless, there is the term Shrub Rose: It's a chronological classification of roses that were on the market before 1867. They are very often planted as a soloist in a garden, which them has brought the name "Rose Park".

Hybrid Tea Rose: 1 master, 1 flower (rose Gaujard )

Other classifications are:

(High) standard roses: roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain strain level. With that, the rose gardener sets the height of the crown.

Floribunda roses : the compact and low bushy roses are ideal for group planting on beds

Crambling roses: They have neither roots nor can they stick up squirm. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent into each other

English Rose: mixture of old varieties, hybrid tea and Florybunda (Tradescanth)

4000 Floribunda

Floribunda roses are hardy, grow compact, knee-high and bushy, are durable and sturdy

There are few smelling varieties

Polyantha classification: a tribe, many small flowers; Florybunda: a tribe, many big blossoms

New concept of color: from red to light yellow

The thousands Floribunda opposite of Grillparzer Monument shimmer (still) in many colors. From historical records, however, is indicated that there was originally a different color scheme for the Floribunda than today: At the entrance of the Burgtheater side the roses were dark and were up to Grillparzer monument ever brighter - there they were then already white.

This color range they want again, somewhat modified, resume with new plantings: No white roses in front of the monument, but bright yellow, so that Grillparzer monument can better stand out. It has already begun, there was heavy frost damage during the winter 2011/12.

Colorful roses

2011: white and pink roses

2012: after winter damage new plantings in shades of yellow .

Because the domestic rose production is not large enough, the new, yellow roses were ordered in Germany (Castor).

Watering

Waterinr of the Floribunda in the morning at 11 clock

What roses do not like at all, and what attracts pests really magically, the foliage is wet. Therefore, the Floribunda roses are in the People's Garde poured in the morning at 11 clock, so that the leaves can dry thoroughly.

Ground sprinklers pouring only the root crown, can not be used because the associated hoses should be buried in the earth, and that in turn collide with the Erdanhäufung (amassing of earth) that is made for winter protection. Choosing the right time to do it, it requires a lot of sense. Is it too early, so still too warm, the bed roses begin to drive again, but this young shoots freeze later, inevitably, because they are too thin.

1000 Tree roses

Most standard roses are found in the rose garden.

During the renovation of the Temple of Theseus the asphalt was renewed in 2011, which was partially only a few centimeters thick, and so was the danger that trucks with heavy transports break into. Due to this construction site the entire flower bed in front had to be replaced.

Now the high-stem Rose Maria Theresia is a nice contrast to the white temple, at her feet sits the self-cleaning floribunda aspirin. Self-cleaning means that withered flowers fall off and rarely maintenance care is needed.

The concept of the (high) standard roses refers to a special type of rose decoration. Suitable varieties of roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain height of the trunk. With that the rose gardener sets the height of the crown fixed (60 cm, 90 cm, 140 cm)

Plantings - Pests - Winter Care

Normally about 50 roses in the People's Garden annually have to be replaced because of winter damages and senility. Till a high standard rose goes on sale, it is at least 4 years old. With replantings the soil to 50 cm depth is completely replaced (2/3 basic soil, 1/3 compost and some peat ).

Roses have enemies, such as aphids. Against them the Pirimor is used, against the Buchsbaumzünsler (Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis) Calypso (yet - a resistance is expected).

In popular garden roses are sprayed with poison, not only when needed, but also as a precaution, since mildew and fire rose (both are types of fungi) also overwinter.

Therefore it is also removed as far as possible with the standard roses before packing in winter the foliage.

Pest Control with Poison

The "Winter Package " first is made with paper bags, jute bags, then it will be pulled (eg cocoa or coffee sacks - the commercially available yard goods has not proven).

They are stored in the vault of the gardener deposit in the Burggarten (below the Palm House). There namely also run the heating pipes. Put above them, the bags after the winter can be properly dried.

Are during the winter the mice nesting into the packaged roses, has this consequences for the crows want to approach the small rodents and are getting the packaging tatty. It alreay has happened that 500 standard roses had to be re-wrapped.

"Winter Package" with paper and jute bags

300 ambling roses

The Schlingrosen (Climbing Roses) sit "as a framing" behind the standard roses.

Schlingrose tenor

Although climbing roses are the fastest growing roses, they get along with very little garden space.

They have no rootlets as the evergreen ivy, nor can they wind up like a honeysuckle. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent mesh.

Climbing roses can reach stature heights of 2 to 3 meters.

4 x/year fertilizing

4 times a year, the soil is fertilized. From August, but no more, because everything then still new drives would freeze to death in winter. Well-rotted horse manure as fertilizer was used (straw mixed with horse manure, 4 years old). It smelled terrible, but only for 2 days.

Since the City of Vienna may only invest more plant compost heap (the EU Directive prohibits animal compost heap on public property), this type of fertilization is no longer possible to the chagrin of gardeners, and roses.

In the people garden in addition is foliar fertilizer used (it is sprayed directly on the leaves and absorbed about this from the plant).

Finishes in the Augarten

Old rose varieties are no longer commercially available. Maybe because they are more sensitive, vulnerable. Thus, the bud of Dr. F. Debat already not open anymore, if it has rained twice.

 

Roses need to be replaced in the People's Garden, this is sometimes done through an exchange with the Augarten Palace or the nursery, where the finishes are made. Previously there were roses in Hirschstetten and the Danube Park, but the City of Vienna has abandoned its local rose population (not to say destroyed), no exchange with these institutions is possible anymore.

Was formerly in breeding the trend to large flowers, one tends to smell roses again today. Most varieties show their resplendent, lush flowers only once, early in the rose-year, but modern varieties are more often blooming.

200 shrub roses

Some shrub roses bloom in the rose garden next to the Grillparzer Monument

Most of the shrub or park roses can be found along the fence to Heroes' Square. These types are so old, and there are now so many variations that even a species of rose connoisseurs assignment is no longer possible in many cases.

The showy, white, instensiv fragrant wild rose with its large umbels near des Triton Fountain is called Snow White.

Shrub roses are actually "Old Garden Roses" or "old roses", what a time

classification of roses is that were on the market before 1867.

Shrub roses are also called park roses because they are often planted as a soloist in a park/garden.

They grow shrubby, reaching heights up to 2 meters and usually bloom only 1 x per year.

The Renner- Rose

The most famous bush rose sits at the exit to Ballhausplatz before the presidential office.

It is named after the former Austrian President Dr. Karl Renner

When you enter, coming from the Ballhausplatz, the Viennese folk garden of particular note is a large rose bush, which is in full bloom in June.

Before that, there is a panel that indicates that the rose is named after Karl Renner, founder of the First and Second Republic. The history of the rose is a bit of an adventure. President Dr. Karl Renner was born on 14 in December 1870 in the Czech village of Untertannowitz as the last of 18 children of a poor family.

Renner output rose at Ballhausplatz

He grew up there in a small house, in the garden, a rose bush was planted.

In summer 1999, the then Director of the Austrian Federal Gardens, Peter Fischer Colbrie was noted that Karl Renner's birthplace in Untertannowitz - Dolni Dunajovice today - and probably would be demolished and the old rosebush as well fall victim to the demolition.

High haste was needed, as has already been started with the removal of the house.

Misleading inscription " reconstruction"?

The Federal Gardens director immediately went to a Rose Experts on the way to Dolni Dunajovice and discovered "as only bright spot in this dismal property the at the back entrance of the house situated, large and healthy, then already more than 80 year old rose bush".

After consultation with the local authorities Peter Fischer Colbrie received approval, to let the magnificent rose bush dig-out and transport to Vienna.

Renner Rose is almost 100 years old

A place had been found in the Viennese People´s Garden, diagonal vis-à-vis the office where the president Renner one resided. On the same day, the 17th August 1999 the rosebush was there planted and in the following spring it sprouted already with flowers.

In June 2000, by the then Minister of Agriculture Molterer and by the then Mayor Zilk was a plaque unveiled that describes the origin of the rose in a few words. Meanwhile, the "Renner-Rose" is far more than a hundred years old and is enjoying good health.

Although climbing roses are the fastest growing roses, they get along with very little garden space.

They have no rootlets as the evergreen ivy, nor can they wind up like a honeysuckle. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent mesh.

Climbing roses can reach stature heights of 2 to 3 meters.

4 x/year fertilizing

4 times a year, the soil is fertilized. From August, but no more, because everything then still new drives would freeze to death in winter. Well-rotted horse manure as fertilizer was used (straw mixed with horse manure, 4 years old). It smelled terrible, but only for 2 days.

Since the City of Vienna may only invest more plant compost heap (the EU Directive prohibits animal compost heap on public property), this type of fertilization is no longer possible to the chagrin of gardeners, and roses.

In the people garden in addition is foliar fertilizer used (it is sprayed directly on the leaves and absorbed about this from the plant).

Finishes in the Augarten

Old rose varieties are no longer commercially available. Maybe because they are more sensitive, vulnerable. Thus, the bud of Dr. F. Debat already not open anymore, if it has rained twice.

 

Roses need to be replaced in the People's Garden, this is sometimes done through an exchange with the Augarten Palace or the nursery, where the finishes are made. Previously there were roses in Hirschstetten and the Danube Park, but the City of Vienna has abandoned its local rose population (not to say destroyed), no exchange with these institutions is possible anymore.

Was formerly in breeding the trend to large flowers, one tends to smell roses again today. Most varieties show their resplendent, lush flowers only once, early in the rose-year, but modern varieties are more often blooming.

200 shrub roses

Some shrub roses bloom in the rose garden next to the Grillparzer Monument

Most of the shrub or park roses can be found along the fence to Heroes' Square. These types are so old, and there are now so many variations that even a species of rose connoisseurs assignment is no longer possible in many cases.

The showy, white, instensiv fragrant wild rose with its large umbels near des Triton Fountain is called Snow White.

Shrub roses are actually "Old Garden Roses" or "old roses", what a time

classification of roses is that were on the market before 1867.

Shrub roses are also called park roses because they are often planted as a soloist in a park/garden.

They grow shrubby, reaching heights up to 2 meters and usually bloom only 1 x per year.

The Renner- Rose

The most famous bush rose sits at the exit to Ballhausplatz before the presidential office.

It is named after the former Austrian President Dr. Karl Renner

When you enter, coming from the Ballhausplatz, the Viennese folk garden of particular note is a large rose bush, which is in full bloom in June.

Before that, there is a panel that indicates that the rose is named after Karl Renner, founder of the First and Second Republic. The history of the rose is a bit of an adventure. President Dr. Karl Renner was born on 14 in December 1870 in the Czech village of Untertannowitz as the last of 18 children of a poor family.

Renner output rose at Ballhausplatz

He grew up there in a small house, in the garden, a rose bush was planted.

In summer 1999, the then Director of the Austrian Federal Gardens, Peter Fischer Colbrie was noted that Karl Renner's birthplace in Untertannowitz - Dolni Dunajovice today - and probably would be demolished and the old rosebush as well fall victim to the demolition.

High haste was needed, as has already been started with the removal of the house.

Misleading inscription " reconstruction"?

The Federal Gardens director immediately went to a Rose Experts on the way to Dolni Dunajovice and discovered "as only bright spot in this dismal property the at the back entrance of the house situated, large and healthy, then already more than 80 year old rose bush".

After consultation with the local authorities Peter Fischer Colbrie received approval, to let the magnificent rose bush dig-out and transport to Vienna.

Renner Rose is almost 100 years old

A place had been found in the Viennese People´s Garden, diagonal vis-à-vis the office where the president Renner one resided. On the same day, the 17th August 1999 the rosebush was there planted and in the following spring it sprouted already with flowers.

In June 2000, by the then Minister of Agriculture Molterer and by the then Mayor Zilk was a plaque unveiled that describes the origin of the rose in a few words. Meanwhile, the "Renner-Rose" is far more than a hundred years old and is enjoying good health.

Another reminder of happier times in Ukraine; a "gizzit" from the Ukrainian equivalent of the UK's Joint Arms Control Implementation Group when on mutual arms control training in Ukraine in the 2000s, when we were made very welcome by our Ukrainian hosts. Over the years, I visited Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, Odessa and, prior to Putin's seizure, The Crimea,
