Namaste! Greetings from the roof of the world!

Hello!
I hereby send you all Greetings from Kathmandu in nepal.
wir sind gestern ueber abu dhabi angekommen. wie es aussieht, haben wir glueck und bekommen voraussichtlich das visum fuer tibet - dann starten wir am 09.10. unsere reise zum heiligen berg kailash und dessen umrundung.

heute hatten wir eine runde sightseeing in kathamndu und morgen gehts zum rafting in den trisuli river. der geplante raft auf dem kali gandaki ist leider durch den starken monsun nicht moeglich. der kali hat zur zeit schwierigkeitsstufe 5+ von 6 (6=unbefahrbar) - das wollen wir uns dann doch nicht antun.

anschliessend sind wir 2 tage in pokhara am fewa lake und dann geht es zurueck nach kathmandu bevor wir hoffentlich nach tibet starten koennen.

Hi, Peter Jaensch and Dieter Kupsch from the German Language Association!

As I was reading in the newspaper Saxony, in Dresden you mistyped the fight against the foreign domination of our beautiful language by Anglicisms. As I see photos of you, Dieter Kupsch (78, pensioners, DSU), as they are wrong in mock desperation by the city and know nothing but English signage before did not know where you coming or going. In school, you had only learned Latin and Greek, you complain English is not. Ran through me shudder of compassion. But it's not just about their own difficulties in understanding, no, this is much more at stake: the German language. You predict your

"a lonely death, a defeat against the hegemony of English words."

End of modesty



drives a bizzare province Posse Dresden's local parliament and the accompanying political operation on the occasion of the anniversary of anti-Semitic mass murder of the 11 September 2001.

At the meeting of the City Council on 11 September 2008 requested the members of the " National Alliance `" Wolfgang Schwarz a minute of silence for the victims of the "September 11th" to hold and caused quite the, well hoped scandal.


Members of the National Alliance `" in Dresden, along with mascots.

the rather dumb, models of NPD offshoot in the Dresden city council can hardly be assumed to feel very much empathy for " dead Americans." Rather, these people and their red-brown combatants rather close to "American dominance "To agitate and to the majority opinion advanced the long conspiracy to" ruminate on every occasion to the green fascism in the character of the Koran as "9 / 11 just to glorify resistance.
find After all, in Germany, no commemoration of the 11th September, neither German, Muslim, and place and certainly not by Nazi organizations. Under this impression is the German press, the commemorative events in the U.S. from essentially unresponsive. In the Dresden City Council was at any rate so far no one, including the " democratic groups," on the idea of a minute of silence at the 11th to apply for September, because these are not interested in " dead Americans" have.

moved Nevertheless, the well-to be heard muttering " about the true background of the 11th September "under one, according to the German mind, felt taboo.
This taboo that none is refracted as it constantly, and this is hardly outrageous must be accepted as an essential reason why the application of the "National Alliance ` "by a majority of councilors Dresdner was approved.
Nevertheless, one has here, in Dresden, where the collective consciousness of much of the stories about the " 13th February "shaped, is something in it when it comes to" war and to remember tyranny. " According to this logic were a few years ago equated the attack on the Twin Towers with the Allied bombing raid on Nazi Dresden in World War II or, though, this is rather dated, always dirty, popularly suggested that the "September 11" as a late but just punishment for interpretation.

The minute's silence was in any case in accordance with, a majority of the City Council rubber-stamped because held without substance, application, and the Group of "Green " then left the room. The "National Alliance " rejoiced, as has been acknowledged for the first time one of their applications, which is willing to open a cause for scandal to the reputation of the "democratic consensus" .
The Left Party is now threatening the Members of Parliament and Councillor Ronald Weckesser with expulsion from the Group, while the local CDU official Michael Kretschmar on the " Überrumplungstaktik " of the Nazis referred, the Greens' party political instrumentalization "accused and the approval of this request now for a "mistake " holds.

Does Car Sponsors Work

XC-Open sind zu Ende

Auch wenn es lange nicht danach aussah, konnten die XC Open am Samstag mit einem Task beendet werden. Bis zum Mittag blieb der Himmel grau und die Hoffnungen schwanden zusehends. Doch dann besserte sich die Lage recht schnell und um 14.45 standen wir am Start für das Briefing. Der Start folgte kurz später.

Die tiefe Basis und die grossflächige Abschattungen machten die Aufgabe über den Pass nach Avila zu gelangen nicht einfach. Leider erwischte es auch Mario kurz nach dem Pass, so dass er seinen hervorragenden 2. Platz in der Serial Wertung nicht halten konnten. Auch das Team von Mario und Philippe rutschte noch weit vom Podest (vor dem Task Rang 3. nachher 8.). Martin wurde ebenfalls vom „Pass gefressen“. Seine Sugarloop Crew Landete auf dem 5. Platz.

Da die Deadline bereits um 18.00 gesetzt war (es galt ja noch die Siegerehrung durchzubringen) wurden die Distanzen nicht allzu lang. Die besten erreichten gut 90km. Ich kam gut, wenn auch spät über den Pass und konnte mich dann im Avilatal mit dem Wind vorwärtsarbeiten. Bei Taskende war ich knapp bei km 60 und landete damit auf Rang 30.

Resultate Task 4

In der Gesammtwertung det Serial Klasse wurde Mario 5. (!), Philippe 30. und Martin 47.
Gratulation natürlich an Chrigel Maurer der den Anlass für sich entscheiden konnte!
Die besten Overall:
1. Christian Maurer
2. Jouni Makkonen
