Wherever did they get that idea from?

I found some junk on the street this summer
and a friend delivered it

An international tennis player's scrap book from the 1930ies

A pigeon fancier and his loft

Accounts of a wine dealer shop and wholesale

photographs of sabotage in WW2 against the nazi's

snaps: August 2005: "yesterday I set out at 3:00pm from Brumleby along Østerbrogade outwards from Copenhagen, and close to Jagtvej"

store skrald
big rubbish day - good for finding useful stuff free.

Later I found quite an archive from 1929 and a snapshot album of a tennis player Neils Kørner playing doubles in Berlin in he 1930ies amongst other - to be given to the local archive.

Lokalhistorisk Arkiv starter en systematisk
indsamling af materiale om Gentoftes
spændende kulturarv

Hvad lavede en skoledreng i 1930’erne, og hvordan
startede de første virksomheder i Gentofte?

Det er bare et par af de spørgsmål, som nysgerrige
borgere snart kan få besvaret ved et besøg
til Lokalhistorisk Arkivs lokaler på Hovedbiblioteket.

Hidtil har arkivets indsamling af materiale
udelukkende baseret sig på borgernes velvillige
indlevering, men fremover vil Lokalhistorisk Arkiv
gå langt mere systematisk til værks og lave
aktive kampagner med specifikke efterlysninger.
Ved at gennemføre en aktiv indsamlings- og
registreringspolitik håber arkivet at kunne
målrette sin formidling, således at borgerne kan
få en langt større indsigt i Gentoftes fortid.
Skoleeffekter og virksomhedshistorie
Lokalhistorisk Arkiv iværksætter i øjeblikket en
mindre indsamlingskampagne, som skal
dokumentere skoleliv i Gentofte gennem tiderne.

Udstillingen åbner d. 12. november, men allerede
nu er arkivet ved at indsamle skolemateriale.

Til foråret starter Lokalhistorisk Arkiv en
større kampagne for at indsamle materiale fra
mindre virksomheder og erhverv i Gentofte.
Målet er få samlet nok materiale til at belyse
erhvervslivets udvikling tilbage til de første små
håndværksvirksomheder.

Lokalhistorisk Arkiv er
herudover interesseret i papir og billeder, der
kan dokumentere foreningsarbejde og sportsklubber
eller materiale, der kan dokumentere
person- og familieforhold.

Aflevering af effekter

Ligger man inde med nogle af de efterlyste
effekter eller ønskes yderligere information, kan
man kontakte leder af Lokalhistorisk Arkiv, Mette
Henriksen på tlf. 39 48 75 81 eller e-mail:

man convicted of rape, murder granted bail

CTV.ca | Ont. man convicted of rape, murder granted bail: "An Ontario man who has served 12 years of a life sentence for a crime he says he did not commit, and that may never have happened, has been granted a taste of freedom."

"The last 12 years has been nothing but hell for me and my family,'' he said, his voice wavering.

"What I went through was a sickening state of affairs,'' he said, adding that he felt "anger'' at the "utter humiliation'' to which he has been subjected.

With a $75,000 bond from his uncle, and another $50,000 from his mother, Mullins-Johnson will not return to the medium security Warkworth Institution northeast of Toronto where he's been serving a life sentence for rape and murder.

Instead, the Sault Ste. Marie native will live in Toronto pending a review of his case by federal Justice Minister Irwin Cotler

why civilised countires don't have capital punishment

thirty eight of the states of USA please note

It remains unclear whether the Crown will agree that Mullins-Johnson's name belongs on Canada's infamous list of wrongful murder convictions, alongside names like David Milgaard and Guy-Paul Morin.

But the fact that the list continues to grow is a clear indication that Canada needs a better system to deal with potential miscarriages of justice, lawyer David Bayliss told The Canadian Press.

"Essentially, you're dealing with the government that has prosecuted you, so you're in essence begging for your wallet back from the person who picked your pocket," he said.

In the United States Michigan was first state to abolish capital punishment
for murder in 1847.

European Union and the Death Penalty (Capital Punishment): "The European Union (EU) is opposed to the death penalty in all cases and has consistently espoused its universal abolition, working towards this goal. In countries that maintain the death penalty, the EU aims at the progressive restriction of its scope and respect for the strict conditions set forth in several international human rights instruments, under which the capital punishment may be used, as well as at the establishment of a moratorium on executions so as to eliminate the death penalty completely.

The EU is deeply concerned about the increasing number of executions in the United States of America (USA), all the more since the great majority of executions since reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976 have been carried out in the 1990s. Furthermore, in the US, young offenders who are under 18 years of age at the time of the commission of the crime may be sentenced to death and executed, in clear infringement of internationally recognized human rights norms. "


why the BUSH family is a disgrace

when life imprisonment without parole and making restitution to the victim are offered as an alternative, a majority of the American public oppose the death penalty

nowhere does it say killing people is wrong

Hurricane is Bush's punishment

" Bush's punishment" -hurricane - Google Search


George W. Bush - A modern day Pontius Pilate. 150 executions in Texas. Statistics show that 7% of all death-row inmates are innocent.

Bush Kills - Bush's Record


Bush has been steadfast in his refusal to recognize the significance of international treaty law, specifically the right of foreign nationals facing the death penalty to receive notification of their right to consular assistance. Texas has the second-largest death row population of foreign citizens in the USA (after California). None of these individuals were informed upon arrest of their right to consular assistance, as guaranteed under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. Even a personal intervention by the US Secretary of State (in the Faulder case) was ignored by Bush, undermining the viability of international law, outraging nations allied to the USA and endangering the human rights of detained foreigners everywhere, including American citizens arrested abroad.

Texas' criminal justice system as a whole is undoubtedly one of the worst in the nation. This is pointed out so clearly in the September 1999 issue of Harper's, in the Index:

"Number of death sentences upheld by Texas courts since 1990 for men whose lawyers slept during their trials: 3" endless

soc.genealogy.german or de.sci.genealogie

soc.genealogy.german Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) was written to help genealogists who are interested in German and German-American genealogy.

It is oriented to those who are getting started, either with genealogy or with the Internet.

"German" here means the German language, so this list should be useful for researchers of German, German-American, Austrian, Swiss, Alsatian, Luxembourger, Liechtensteiner, and Eastern European German genealogy. The latest version of this FAQ is available

a really good FAQ
eg
Subject: 19. I don't know German. What should I do?

The best overall solution is to learn German.

Subject: 33. How can I possibly repay you for all your help?

Please repay help freely given by helping other genealogical researchers to the best of your ability. Publishing your results, perhaps by submitting them to the FHL, is an excellent way of helping others. A thank you would also be nice.

Subject: 11. What about the German census?

I must memorize this 1939 - only 1939 is useful

The German central government conducted censuses in 1871, every five years from 1875 to 1910, 1919, 1925, 1933, 1935 (Saar), and 1939. West Germany had censuses in 1946, 1950, 1961, 1970, and 1987. East Germany had censuses in 1945, 1946, 1964, 1971, and 1981. Except for the 1939 census, these censuses are not useful for genealogical purposes; available data are of a statistical nature only. Each of the states conducted their own censuses at other times. Some of these censuses are available via your local LDS FHC and are quite useful genealogically. The central German census authority can tell you if certain censuses exist and where they can be found:

Statistisches Bundesamt
Gustav Stresemann Ring 11
Postfach 5528
65189 Wiesbaden

Subject: 13. What does my German surname mean?

The meaning of a German surname can often be found in a German- English dictionary (e.g., Schmidt means smith, Müller means miller). Sometimes spelling modifications, pronunciation shifts, or dialectal origins hide the original meaning. In such cases, a general or specifically German name lexicon can be useful. Three standard German works are

Deutsche Namenkunde by Max Gottschald,
Deutsches Namenlexikon by Hans Bahlow, also available in English as Dictionary of German Names,
Das grosse Buch der Familiennamen by Horst Naumann, and
dtv-Atlas Namenkunde (Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag).

Please note that name interpretation is often speculative.

Moray Burial Ground Research Group

MBGRG - Home Page:

"Our voluntary group was formed in 2003 with the task of surveying every burial ground in Moray, which also includes part of the old county of Banff. This is indeed a monumental task as there are in the region of 140 cemeteries, both public and private to be studied! We are in consultation with the Council for Scottish Archaeology (CSA), Historic Scotland (HS), Moray Council, the Royal Commission on the Ancient & Historic Monuments of Scotland (RCAMS), and in association with Aberdeen and North East Scotland Family History Society (ANESFHS) and the Scottish Association of Family History Societies (SAFHS).
The published results of our research will, it is hoped, benefit genealogists, family, local and social historians, as well as archaeologists, those involved in the conservation of burial grounds and other disciplines. Financial support has so far been provided by the Carved Stones Advisor Project, the National Lottery 'Awards for All' scheme, and Moray Council.

Although much computer and other related work is carried on behind the scenes, including historical research in various archival centres, most of our research takes place in churchyards or cemeteries. Here we plot every tombstone onto a plan of each site. We then write out the full inscription from each memorial, at the same time taking suitable photographs and making appropriate scale drawings, which are taken for accuracy checks, as well as archival and illustration purposes. By using a specific methodology, created largely by our group, we search for buried tombstones up to approximately 6' (15cms) below the grass surface. After full recording, these stones are then covered up again for safety and preservation purposes.

The sites we have researched either in whole or in part, so far include Alves, Bellie, Birnie, Burghead"

Why Apple picked Intel over AMD

Macworld UK

"This is a practical, pragmatic Steve Jobs decision," says Shane Rau, programme manager, PC semiconductors for IDC. Intel serves up the most complete line of low-power chips for mobile and small form factor computers, and a good-looking future roadmap for it. Also, Intel's mammoth production capacity erases any supply worries.
