It�s a Saturday in the middle of the busy holiday shopping season. A disheveled man is disrupting traffic in a popular shopping center, preaching loudly and scaring customers. A police officer responds to calls from merchants, but without any local options for crisis treatment services, he takes the man off to jail on a trespassing charge and hopes the jail nurses will be able to get him some help.
A hundred miles away, a woman who has been clean for months relapses after losing her job. She is alone, depressed and frightened. After several weeks of drinking, she returns to crack cocaine. She knows she needs help, but without a car or money to pay a cab, she calls 911.
Late one night in a quiet suburb, a teenager threatens suicide. Not knowing what else to do, her parents call their family doctor, who suggests they go to the nearest emergency department. They wait in a crowded treatment area for most of the night until someone can help them ease this young woman�s mental health crisis.
In many North Carolina communities, the only place for people in mental health crisis is the local ED or jail. Those needing inpatient hospitalization may have to wait there for hours, even days, for an appropriate place to begin treatment. The only available bed may be hours away; the only transportation, the back of a sheriff�s car.
As I travel around the state, I talk with family members, advocates and mental health care professionals worried about the alarming state of crisis services in North Carolina. Currently, hospitals and law enforcement are carrying most of the burden associated with crisis episodes because too many communities lack the appropriate resources to help people and their families during mental health crises. They tell me the system is not working.
Earlier this month, Gov. Pat McCrory and Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Aldona Wos announced a new initiative to improve mental health and substance abuse crisis services in North Carolina. The Governor and Secretary Wos have invited mental health care professionals, hospital administrators, members of law enforcement, and patient advocates to join them on December 9 for the first meeting of the Crisis Solutions Initiative Coalition.
The primary goal of the Crisis Solutions Initiative is to address the tremendous strain on the current mental health and substance abuse crisis system. High levels of emergency department usage, extended wait times in emergency departments, increased incidence of mental illness in jails and prisons � all of these contribute to higher costs � and just as important, they don�t get the job done.
Previous attempts at change have taken a wholesale transformation approach: Throw everything out and start over. This administration�s approach is more pragmatic: we�ll look to see what�s working well and expand it. Instead of �reform,� this will be a practical plan that focuses on long-term solutions. We want to look at evidence-based best practices that are working and use them to build a system that addresses the whole person and provides the right care at the right time.
We have a number of pilot programs that are showing great promise, and this solution-oriented group also will explore new options that include funding and policy changes.
One of the first steps will be to reduce the strain on hospital emergency departments: reduce the number of people in crisis who use them, reduce the wait times for those who must use them, and reduce the number of people readmitted within 30 days of a previous visit.
Key to the success of the Mental Health Crisis Solutions Initiative will revolve around bringing the right people together and understanding the entire crisis continuum. The governor and his administration are committed to the effort, and the people of this state have everything to gain from its success.
Richard is director of North Carolina�s DHHS Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services.

Monarch Insider No. 26- CAA Tournament-Quarter Final Report
By ODU Athletics
March 6, 2011
Monarch Insider #26 - CAA Tournament, quarter-final report A tough scrape with Delaware, and now it's onto the semifinals Brendan O'Hallarn
Monarch Basketball Insider
In conversations with friends since the CAA Tournament draw was unveiled (OK, many, MANY conversations with friends) I've likened Saturday's quarter-final game as a check in a box.
Whether we played Delaware or Northeastern (it turned out to be Delaware) we weren't going to receive much credit as a team for a win, and our national reputation would suffer with a loss. The win was all that mattered, no matter how ugly.
Well, mission accomplished, 59-50. But I'm just fine with not seeing that Delaware team for a long, LONG time. For whatever reason, what they do really messes with what we do. They beat us in Wilmington before Christmas. They had us on the ropes in our rematch at the Constant Center. And last night, the Fightin' Blue Hens simply refused to go away.
We erased an early, nine-point deficit, but Delaware stayed within a few points until late in the second half. Were it not for a heavy dose of our experience, including Frank Hassell's 23 points and 10 rebounds, we could have fallen in yesterday's quarter-final.
The game had all the hallmarks of a first-round tournament game for a favored team. Some shots rattling in and out. More than a few careless turnovers. Ben Finney dropped a homerun pass from Darius James when he was all alone for a dunk. That's the first time I've seen that all season.
But in remarks afterwards, Coach Blaine Taylor was measured, not being overcritical about his team, but making it clear that the Monarchs have to play better on Sunday.
"We can play better than we did today, we'll probably have to. But we did enough," Taylor said. "I think one of the keys of the game was when we settled down. We had nine turnovers in the first half, and most of them in the first 10 minutes. I joked at one timeout, `Well, I'm glad we've got that out of our system.' Everybody took their turn in the barrel." The team settled down and turned the ball over only three times in the second half, and scored on 13 of 15 possessions late in the game.
During a stoppage in play, in the middle of a flurry of ODU turnovers, Finney (looking irritated) bent over to tie his shoe. James sidled over to him, bent over beside him, and reminded Finney of one of Taylor's pet expressions - FIMO.
"We have a saying we go by, FIMO, which means Forget It, Move On. I was just making sure he didn't dwell on that, and that he'll get the next one," James said.
"Even though we're seniors, and we've got a lot of experience, everyone's out here trying to do good so bad. We've got a little jitters, but like Coach said, we've gotta get it out of our system."
Monarch Basketball Insider has gone interactive for the CAA Tournament. I'm doing a live blog for the weekend, at http://monarchbasketballinsider.blogspot.com/. And I've got help.
Lauren Scolamiero, a 2010 ODU alumna, is adding her perspective to the blog, as the team's "embedded" fan. Here's a sample of one of her blogs from yesterday:
Lauren Scolamiero here again and what a great third session of the CAA Tournament. The buzz is definitely in the air inside the Coliseum and people are flittering all around like they don't know how to contain themselves.
I'll put it this way, the CAA Tournament to an ODU fan is the equivalent of Christmas Day to a five-year-old.
While I was watching the Georgia State/George Mason game I couldn't help but feel really bad for Georgia State. No, not because they lost, but because they had NO students in the student section. I was really considering asking security if I could be the lone soldier down there because I didn't want their end of the court to look so pathetic.
Although, if I survived a 14-hour bus ride to Buffalo back in 2007 when we made it to the NCAA Tournament, they can too. Come on Georgia State, you can do better than that!
Yesterday was a very full day. I arrived at the Richmond Coliseum at 9:30, and I'm so glad I did. For the first time, the CAA Tournament hosted a band jam - featuring the conference's three preeminent pep bands - George Mason, Virginia Commonwealth and Old Dominion. It was awesome.
Each band played two of its favorites, followed by an over-the-top, nine-minute jam featuring all three bands.
Alex Trevino, director of bands at ODU, said despite the obvious differences between the three schools' pep bands, they have far more in common than they have differences.
"That was our point in doing this today," Trevino said. "We all do things differently, but the foundational skill set is the same. You could take a student from Mason's band and put them in ours, and vice versa. They'd have to learn the choreography, but once the music starts, it's still music."
Trevino, who's worked at big conference schools, said you're not likely to find three bands in the same conference that play at such a high level anywhere in the country.
Chris Byrd, a sophomore Spanish major in his second year with the ODU Pep Band, said it was interesting to stand with the George Mason band immediately to his right, and the VCU band immediately to his left.
"On the court we're rivals, but it was fun to play together. The sound was great," Byrd said.
There's a short video of ODU's band performing on the blog site, and watch for the epic, nine-minute, three-band jam on this website later this week.
Today, I'm pumped about ODU's semifinal, but the basketball fan in me is almost as excited about the first game on the docket. Top seed George Mason taking on the Tournament's de facto home team, VCU. I'm ready for my ears to bleed from the noice.
Go Monarchs!

Upgrade Redmine Rake Migrate Error: uninitialized constant ActionController::AbstractRequest
I ran into an issue earlier where adding a sub project to an already existing Redmine project produced an error and after a little bit of troubleshooting determined that upgrading Redmine would resolve the issue. During the upgrade process I ran into some other issues including a specific migration error using rake that is noted below. The upgrade process involved upgrading Redmine 0.8.3 to Redmine 0.9.3.

Blockx Soft Pastels are handmade in Belgium using pure pigments in the same tradition started by company founder and chemist Jacques Blockx in 1844. Pastels are soft and velvety in texture. Best-suited for use on pastel paper.
Color Swatches created using heavy to light application and were applied on 100 lb (163 gsm) drawing paper material.
chromium oxide
Chromium Oxide Green is a dull, dense, willow or pale green color that is completely opaque. It has an average drying time and a low tinting strength. It is fairly flexible in oil form and is suitable for all purposes and mediums. This pigment is less versatile in mixtures than Viridian and Phthalocyanine Green, but mixes well with other colors without overpowering them.
Chromium Oxide Green has excellent permanence, even at high temperatures.
Chromium Oxide Green is slightly toxic. Evidence of Chromium(III) carcinogenicity is inconclusive. Chromium(III) salts appear in greenish pigments such as PG17. Chromium(VI) salts, which appear in yellowish pigments, have been proven to cause cancer.
Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin discovered the element chromium in lead chromate in 1797. It began to be used as an enamel and ceramic color in 1809, but it had limited use as a pigment until 1862, because of its cost. It is the most commonly used green for military camouflage because it appears the same shade as living foliage under infrared light.
Chrome Oxide Green, Olive Green, Permanent Green. Varieties of Chromium Oxide Green include Arnaudon's Green, Dingler's Green, Plessy's Green, and Schnitzer's Green.
iron oxides
FeO or Fe2O3
Mars Black is an opaque black with a strong and cool masstone, a slightly warm tint, and a warm brown undertone. It is not as black as Ivory Black, but it dries more quickly and has three times the tinting strength. Mars Black is normally the only black available in acrylic form and that is safe to over paint. It can be used in all media without reservation and is widely used as an alternative to Lamp Black and Ivory Black.
Mars Black is very lightfast with excellent permanence.
Mars Black has no significant hazards and is the only major black pigment considered non-toxic.
The word Mars refers to the Roman god of iron and war. Mars Black was developed in the early 20th century from inorganic, synthetic iron oxide.
Black Iron Oxide, Iron Black, Magnetic Oxide, Mapico Black, Mineral Black. Sometimes labeled as Vine Black.
titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.

Wednesday was a good day to be a Democrat, especially one in leadership.
Over nearly four hours, the Legislative Council — made of top lawmakers from both parties, six Democrats and four Republicans — made preliminary decisions on which bills would be taken up during the second session of the Legislature, which starts in January.
The Council is charged with deciding which bills will be allowed into the second session which is typically reserved for emergency matters.
About 100 bills got the green light, out of roughly 400 that were proposed by lawmakers. About 80 of those accepted bills were submitted by Democrats.
That seems high at first — and it is — but it's not the best figure to look at, because Democrats also submitted more than twice as many bills as Republicans, 259 to 132. So a better stat to consider is the conversion rate, or what percent of bills submitted were approved.
(A caveat before we go any further: The numbers below are preliminary because lawmakers who saw their bills rejected will have a chance to appeal before the Legislative Council on Nov. 21. Still, the figures presented below what the Council did on its first pass, which is important.)
In total, Democrats had a 31 percent conversion rate, meaning just less than one-third of the bills they proposed will hit the floor in January. The GOP conversion rate was just 11 percent.
That's probably not surprising, given the fact that six of the 10 members of the Legislative Council are Democrats. The party has a majority in both chambers of the Legislature and, as is often said, "Elections have consequences." Recent history demonstrates that political maxim as well: In the 125th Legislature, which was controlled by Republicans, the GOP got 56 percent of their bills in for the second session, compared with 33 percent for Democrats.
While the party figures are impressive, the number that really stands out is the amazing conversion rate of members of the Legislative Council themselves: 62 percent. That's more than three times higher than the conversion rate for all the other members of the Legislature combined.
Democrats on the Council did especially well, thanks in no small part to the fact that the six of them constitute a majority, if they all vote in agreement, even if every Republican on the panel opposes them. The Council accepted a whopping 81 percent of proposals from its Democratic members.
Senate President Justin Alfond had a perfect score: Five bills proposed, five bills accepted. House Speaker Mark Eves got four out of five; House Majority Leader Seth Berry won three of five; House Whip Jeff McCabe got five of six; Senate Majority Leader Troy Jackson saw six of his seven bills go through; and Assistant Senate Majority Leader Ann Haskell got two of three.
Republicans, who needed at least two Democratic votes to get any of their bills through — and that's if each member of the GOP on the Council supported it — didn't do quite as well, converting only 33 percent of their bill proposals. But that's still three times better than their party counterparts outside leadership.
House Minority Leader Ken Fredette saw two of seven proposals accepted; House Whip Alex Willette got one of three; Senate Minority Leader Mike Thibodeau saw his one bill rejected, and Senate Minority Leader Roger Katz won two of his four bills.
The bills submitted for the screening process are not yet fleshed out, and in some cases, lack much detail. They each have a title, and a short description of the bill, which is sometimes the same as the title.
Alfond, who is co-chairmen of the Council, said he recognized that the figures are lopsided, but said it's the nature of the beast. Because the second session is reserved for emergencies, leaders are hesitant to give a bill initial approval if they don't know exactly what's in it.
But party leaders are familiar with each other and communicate regularly. That means they have a better idea of their colleagues' bills than the bills from rank-and-file lawmakers, he said.
"Not only do you know more about them because you speak with them regularly, but you also have a relationship working with them, working in partnership, across the aisle, on bipartisan issues," he said. That's why there's an appeals process, he added: to let other lawmakers present more information so the Council can review the bills with fresh eyes.
One lawmaker who will be filing an appeal is Rep. Amy Volk, R-Scarborough. She proposed a bill to expunge prostitution convictions from the record of victims of human trafficking, a measure supported by the Polaris Project, a leading anti-trafficking group.
Volk's bill was defeated at the Legislative Council 6-4, along party lines. She said that while she's "not surprised" that top lawmakers and majority Democrats saw more success than their opposites, that doesn't make it any easier to accept.
"This process, for a lot of people, seems way too political," she said. "I'd say it's disappointing. We continue to hope, and I think the Maine people want, for us to work together on issues they understand are important."
Another lawmaker, Rep. Brian Jones, D-Freedom, had even harsher criticism for the process. He submitted three bills, one of which was accepted. He also looked at the numbers for bill screening, and had this to say:
"The process is distorted and the perception the data would seem to support is that the decisions of the Legislative Council are not merely based on good policy, but politics and partisan interests."
One might think Fredette would agree, having seen his three bills aimed at welfare reform — a top Republican priority — rejected. While Fredette and other Republicans are angry Democrats did not support welfare reform, the House Minority Leader does not fault the process.
"All we have to go on is the title, and a very little blurb, a small blurb, about what the bill is about," he said Wednesday. "If members feel their particular bill needs a hearing, they have an opportunity to file an appeal."
Alfond said he fully expected to be lobbied by lawmakers in the three weeks leading up to the appeal deadline.
"If there are 100 appeals, we'll have 100 opportunities to say yes or no," he said. "In the end, I think every bill has a chance at being successful.

Whole Foods may seem like an unlikely target of liberals, but it is one of the current cause-celebs round these parts.
Ever since the grocery store's CEO wrote a Wall Street Journal editorial that opposed President Barack Obama's health care reform bill, they have tried everything to get back at one John Mackey.
If you've been to a Whole Foods lately you can attest to the fact that the call for a boycott isn't working. The parking lots remain packed and the lines are still long.
This weekend in Oakland people who believe health care is a right tried a new and quite entertaining tactic that used a "flash mob-like" feature.
Protesters picked a store in Oakland, a song and a group of clumsy singer/dancers to pull it off.
They walked in the store separately, band members and all, and spread out amongst the aisles.
After pretending to shop for a few minutes, the mob made their way to the one spot in the store that had room for a dancing number. They all gathered right there in front of the refrigerated guac and salsa, singing their hearts out to the tune of Tony Basil's "Hey Mickey." They changed the lyrics to "Hey Mackey."
A bewildered security guard had only his cell phone to fight against the intrusion. After quickly dialing, the poor guy just had to take it. The group got off not one, but two reditions of their protest song before going outside for more singing on the sidewalk.
"We believe that every human being has a right to health care, and most Americans agree. But conservatives have dominated this debate because they're willing to be loud. So it's time for us to make some noise of our own, and stand up for health care that we can afford even if we're not CEOs like Mackey," Sarah Norr said.
They said they were inspired by their conservative counterparts who have been dramatizing the health care debate.
No one was arrested and organizers say they will do it again. They just won't say where or when.

Sen. Barack Obama with Raila Odinga
Barack Obama directly intervened in last December's presidential election in Kenya, supporting fellow Luo tribesman Raila Odinga's candidacy, despite an agreement Odinga signed to back radical Muslims, according to an explosive new book written by WND senior staff reporter Jerome R. Corsi.
In "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," Corsi footnotes and discusses two television news videos that fully document his charges.
The first video shows Obama's direct involvement in Kenyan politics to support Odinga, and the second video shows a press conference held by the Muslims who signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Odinga.
"There is nothing on the record to indicate Obama ever withdrew his support from Odinga," Corsi told WND, "even after Odinga signed the agreement with the Muslims in Kenya."
Corsi said that to the contrary, Obama "appears even today to be a direct and active supporter of Odinga, as Odinga himself frequently boasts."
Obama visited Kenya in 2006, while President Kibaki was locked in the election contest against Odinga.
The Kibaki administration objected that Odinga was using Obama's visit to win votes. Obama's repeated public appearances with Odinga and the senator's almost daily criticism of the Kibaki government added to the administration's objections.
A report by Chicago's WBBM-TV news team, which covered Obama in Kenya, shows Obama in Kenya making statements critical of the Kibaki government.
Two separate video segments in the news broadcast document that Obama spoke at the offices of Kenya's oldest newspaper, the Standard, where he accused the Kibaki government of suppressing freedom of speech, and at the University of Nairobi, where he accused the administration of corruption.
The WBBM broadcast noted that criticizing the Kenyan government was "something [Obama] has done almost every day since he arrived in Kenya last week."
The news report also showed repeated clips of Odinga accompanying Obama at various speaking appearances in Kenya, so much so that the news broadcaster commented in the background that Odinga "has been at Obama's elbow here fairly often."
The WBBM news team also interviewed on camera Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua, who accused Obama of meddling inappropriately in Kenyan presidential politics.
Mutua said politely but pointedly that "I think Odinga has to look at critically where he is receiving his advice from. Just because somebody wants to run for president, and he is using Senator Obama as his stooge, as his puppet, to be able to get where he wants to get."
Odinga's agreement with Muslim leaders
Although Odinga professes to be an Anglican Christian, concerns even today continue to circulate that he intends to pursue an undeclared radical Islamic political agenda.
The concerns grew, especially among Kenya's Christian leaders, as rumors circulated prior to the December 2007 presidential election that Odinga had signed a secret agreement with radical Muslim leaders.
Finally, a Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU, which Odinga had signed with radical Muslims was posted on the website of the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, a national Christian religious organization established in 1975.
What appears documented by Kenyan newspaper and television news reports is that Odinga, representing the Orange Democratic Movement, or ODM, and Sheik Abdullah Abdi, the chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, or NAMLEF, signed an agreement Aug. 29, 2007.
The second news video shows a press conference held during the Kenyan election campaign and broadcast in Kenya by Nairobi-based NTV.
The NTV news report shows Sheik Abdullah Abdi, the chairman of NAMLEF, discussing the MOU point-by-point.
The NTV report ends by showing the three-page MOU clearly enough for the document to be recognized.
"For their own separate reasons, Odinga and Sheik Abdullah Abdi joined forces," Corsi wrote. "Sheik Abdullah Abdi agreed to swing Islamic voters to Odinga in Kenya and Odinga agreed to support Islam should he become president."
Corsi continued, "By endorsing Raila Odinga during his 2006 visit to Kenya, Obama positioned himself to be seen by Kenyans as an important U.S. senator who was joining forces with his Luo tribal kinsman. This positioning further sided Obama with Raila Odinga as he ran against President Mwai Kibaki in the December 2007 presidential election in Kenya."
When Obama decided to support Odinga, Corsi noted, Obama embraced the extreme left wing of Kenyan politics, going back to Raila Odinga's father, Odinga Odinga, known as "Double-O," who was overtly communistic during the presidency of Jomo Kenyatta.
Odinga's current party, the Orange Democratic Party, or ODM, is a leftist-socialist political party that stops short of being openly communist.

Hi Denyse ...,
This article [See "Math: What if beauty and truth conflict," below] brings back several memories. Because of my close friendship with Behram Kursunoglu, who was a close friend of Paul Dirac and was also a former student of his at Cambridge, I became one of the few fortunate souls with whom Dirac would engage in conversation. One night after dinner, as Dirac and I were discussing some problems in physics, he told me to always believe the mathematics. He told me that he almost failed to get the Nobel, because he doubted the truth of the beautiful mathematics that predicted the existence of a particle that had the same mass but opposite charge as an electron [later known as the positron]. Nevertheless, he decided to risk possible ridicule and simply trust the mathematics and publish his findings. His publication was just in the knick of time, since the positron was discovered shortly thereafter.
At one of Dirac's last talks at a Coral Gables Conference, while he was admonishing the younger physicists about their incorrect and cavalier use of mathematics, Dirac stated that if the mathematics was ugly, the physics was probably wrong. One guy got up and asked Dirac: "What do you mean by ugly mathematics?" Dirac replied: "If you have to ask that, you are in the wrong business."
In summary, I don't think it is necessarily Beauty versus Truth. However, I do believe that Dirac was right when he said that "God used beautiful mathematics when He created the world." which echoes the author of Hebrews 11,1-3: "Now faith is the assurance of the things we hope for, the proof of the reality of the things we cannot see. For by it the men of old won God's approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were created, beautifully co-coordinated in symmetry, and now exist, at God's command; so the things we see did not develop out of mere matter."
Shalom to you too, A.J., and thanks for an illuminating contribution. - cheers, Denyse

The UBS Verbier Festival Youth Orchestra celebrates its debut.
UBS Verbier Festival Youth Orchestra celebrates its debut at the opening of the 2000 Verbier Festival & Academy.
The UBS Verbier Festival Youth Orchestra conducted by James Levine, its Artistic Consultant, celebrated its debut at the Gala Opening as resident orchestra at the 2000 Verbier Festival & Academy. An enthusiastic ovation from a capacity international audience greeted the first performance which, thanks to the inspired initiative of UBS, signals the beginning of an annual residency at the Festival, followed by an international tour each autumn.
The new Orchestra has drawn one hundred and eight musicians aged 17 - 29 from 29 countries, who auditioned in nine key cities worldwide. Reflecting the powerful musical mix of youth and experience which is the tradition of Verbier, the Orchestra has prepared for its debut in Verbier working with seven Principals of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra selected by its Music Director, James Levine and for the last week with James Levine himself. During the current Festival the Orchestra will also be conducted by Lawrence Foster, Paavo Järvi, Zubin Mehta and Yuri Temirkanov in challenging programmes which will include Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra and Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezade. The 250th anniversary of the death of Johann Sebastian Bach on Friday July 28 will be the occasion for an ensemble of members of the UBS Verbier Festival Youth Orchestra conducted by Zoltán Kocsis and Kennedy (violin) as soloist, to perform a programme of Bach and Arvo Pärt. Members of the Orchestra will take part in the free Bach Musical Meditations in an intimate setting at 11.00 pm every evening at the Protestant Chapel in Verbier.
Orchestra members will also take part in the Festival's chamber concerts, will attend master classes, open rehearsals and share sessions with many of the great artists who are performing in the Festival, including Martha Argerich, Yuri Bashmet, Kennedy and Evgeny Kissin. They will also create spontaneous chamber groups and jazz ensembles of their own. Martin T:son Engstroem, Executive Director of the Orchestra, has said "The mixture between UBS' initiative and support and James Levine's artistic input will give these young chosen musicians an opportunity which is absolutely unique. I wish I had the talent - and the age - to be in the orchestra !"
The Festival ends on August 6 with a closing concert by the UBS Verbier Festival Youth Orchestra under Paavo Järvi presenting a programme which includes Paganini Violin Concerto No 2 Op 7 "La Campanella" with Vadim Repin (violin) as soloist, and Bartok Concerto for Orchestra, after which the young musicians will return to their homes across the world. The musicians then prepare for the Orchestra's first major annual international tour this autumn. With Paavo Järvi and Vadim Repin the orchestra will appear in ten European cities.
The Orchestra's future plans include its residency at the 2001 Verbier Festival & Academy opening on July 20 2001 with a concert conducted by Yuri Temirkanov. James Levine will conduct two concerts in the 2001 Festival and the Orchestra will also be conducted by Kent Nagano and Wolfgang Sawallisch. The international autumn tour in 2001 will take the Orchestra to the United States and South America, in 2002 to Europe and in 2003 to Asia. James Levine has invited all members of this year's Orchestra to return in 2001. When required, replacements will be selected at auditions to be held in different cities.
UBS, the global financial services firm headquartered in Switzerland, has sponsored the Verbier Festival & Academy since it began in 1994. The UBS Verbier Festival Youth Orchestra is managed by the Verbier Orchestra Foundation. The aim of the Foundation is the promotion of cultural, artistic and musical excellence, by supporting young musicians throughout the entire world, regardless of their culture or origins.
Verbier, July 22 2000

Although Veterans Day fell on Sunday, the holiday was marked on Monday as government offices closed.
It was a beautiful day for the National D-Day Memorial to celebrate the service of those who have worn or still wear the uniforms of our armed forces. It was sunny, with a light breeze and temperatures in the 60s as children from Bedford Elementary School, dressed in white shirts and black pants, sang a selection of songs for people gathered in the plaza below. Students from Staunton River Middle School passed thank-you letters to veterans of all services.

New Black History Page
I am a "relative-but-not-total-newbie" to genealogy, having started about four and a half years ago. I spent most of my first year in genealogy getting a general idea of what was known about my family lines and also made a few discoveries of my own. In the second year, I started to research each level going backward in time and entering that information in my genealogy program, and am currently entering information on all my known great-great grandparents. This is not yet in-depth research, but it helps to clarify which families I wish to investigate more closely. Much of the "low-hanging fruit" for families with less common names has already been picked, so a lot of what I plan to do is to work on brick-wall ancestor with surnames such as Smith and Moore.
Luckie's challenge therefore provides me with an opportunity to tackle some other types of interesting challenges, and for that I am grateful. This is something that I hope will eventually be of use to other researchers, but it also has the potential to provide a fruitful new direction in my own research.
At the great-great-grandparent level, there are two families on which I intend to focus, the Brinlees and the Floyds. From the Slave Schedules to the U.S. Federal Census, I know that my great-great grandfather Hiram Brinlee Sr. owned slaves. Since the schedules provide only the gender and age, ascertaining their identities is probably going to require a good bit of ingenuity. I will need to learn what additional records I need to look for that could provide this information.
The other ancestor of interest in this area is my great-great-grandfather George Floyd. I have not been able to find any mention of him on the Slave Schedules, but there are family stories indicating that he was indeed a slaveholder. In addition, the 1870 census shows a Black family by the name of Floyd living nearby.
I will be posting about what I know and what I am able to find on the slaves of these families in the coming weeks and months.
Although I am aware that the most critical area to cover would be slave records, I would like to extend the scope of the information I post to include post-Civil War information to which I have access, hence the page name of "Black History." Some of the information, such as that contained in old newspaper articles, can be found online – most of them I obtained through a paid subscription to a particular newspaper's archives – but since I am going to transcribe these articles and use them anyway I can make the information immediately accessible. And there is at least one item that is not publicly accessible to my knowledge. It is a letter from A. C. Thurman, representing the Black community of Dallas, to Sheriff William Henry Lewis (my great-great uncle). My copy of this letter is a photocopy, but I do not know whether the original still exists and am not aware of any repository being in possession of it. This letter and a bit of background will be the subject of my next Transcription Tuesday post.
I am sure as my research pushes back through previous generations I will encounter more slaveholding ancestors, and I resolve to share whatever I can find out about those slave families as well.
The relevant posts will bear the "Black History" label and so can be accessed under the labels at the bottom of this page; the general index will be on the "Black History" page (the link is at the top of this page). One existing article has already been indexed: Tinner Hill: Desegregation, Graveyards, and My Fireplace. More articles to come.

Greta, I like this idea, of a page to link back to my blog posts on slaves and records. I have some more to get posted, gonna take some serious writing time. SOON tho! Mind if I "borrow" your page idea??ReplyDelete
Please do! It makes a really convenient way to access the articles!ReplyDelete
I'm going to borrow it too. God Bless you for creating it!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad to have a "borrow-worthy" idea, Darlene! I hope to have some good stuff to post on it throughout the coming years. Thanks for dropping by!ReplyDelete
What a great idea for those of us who have run into slaves in the course of research on our own families. Why didn't more of us think of this before? It would be so easy to do something on our blogs to highlight these findings. Good Job!ReplyDelete
I keep forgetting that I must get back to the You Go Girls soon. They are funny!ReplyDelete
I laugh as I read Cheri's comment. Yep, great way to identify yourself as a 'Friend of a Friend'. If you haven't read it already, you must read this post on Sandra's blog. http://ineverknewmyfather.com/?p=31
I am so glad to read that some genealogists are willing to dig into that part of their family's past and share with those of us doing research on African-American families. On Ancestry.com, I have been able to find a couple people who could at least point me to the counties where deeds were held, but no one with anything like a plantation slave record with names, etc.ReplyDelete
If anyone finds any for Craven, Carteret, Lenoir, Jones or Duplin Counties, NC, please contact me...esp. families who settled in Havelock/North Harlowe.
Also looking for plantation records for Star Bluff Plantation in Horry County, SC.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!

WASHINGTON — The late William F. Buckley and Karl Rove have little in common, other than the Republican Party and intelligence. Mr. Buckley's politics were guided by principles; Mr. Rove's principles are guided by politics.
Yet Mr. Rove, the party establishment's money and strategy guru, is channeling Mr. Buckley, a founding father of contemporary conservatism, by trying to root out extremism from the Republican mainstream. A half-century ago, Mr. Buckley sought to expunge the John Birch Society, anti-Semites and white supremacists from the party's inner circles. Today, Mr. Rove is threatening to finance primary campaigns against those he considers right-wing extremists of the type that have already cost Republicans several Senate seats.
It may be the right purpose, but he's the wrong person. He can't avoid looking like an inside-the-Beltway kingmaker trying to purge populist insurgencies around the country and make some more bucks while doing it. There is a backlash.
Still, prominent Republicans with more credibility than Mr. Rove need to consider this cause. There are more than a few fringe figures who play a role in defining the party, many of them express a vitriolic dislike of President Barack Obama that turns off possible Republican voters.
There is Representative Steve King of Iowa, who is unrelenting in his criticism of the president. One of his latest targets is the September attack in Benghazi, Libya, in which four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador, were killed.
He goes further than other critics: Benghazi, he declares, "is a lot bigger" than other scandals. It is, he says, at least 10 times bigger than Watergate and Iran-contra combined.
Mr. King has made a name for himself with anti-immigrant rants. Last year, he said Americans should select eligible immigrants the same way they would go about picking a "good bird dog." That means choosing "the one that's the friskiest, the one that's engaged the most, and not the one that's over there sleeping in the corner." He later explained that he meant this as a compliment — he likes bird dogs.
Then there's Representative Paul C. Broun of Georgia. The former physician said evolution, embryology and the Big Bang theory are "lies straight from the pit of hell." He once proposed banning Playboy magazine from military installations, which might have jeopardized the survival of the all-volunteer army.
Like more than a few of his colleagues on the right, he directs his greatest vitriol at Mr. Obama. Mr. Broun boasts that he was the first to call the president "a socialist who embraces Marxist-Leninist policies." The "only Constitution that Barack Obama upholds is the Soviet constitution," he charges.
These two lawmakers aren't simply innocuous backbenchers. They are among the leading contenders in Republican primaries for open Senate seats in Georgia and Iowa.
Even some Republicans who aren't as far out get caught up in the fervor, particularly when it touches on Mr. Obama. This month, Representative Virginia Foxx of North Carolina likened those who didn't fight hard enough against the Obama administration's regulation of for-profit colleges to Germans who didn't stand up to the Nazis in the 1930s.
Texas, the biggest Republican-dominated state, is a hotbed of Obama-hating politicians. Louie Gohmert, in his fifth term in the U.S. House of Representatives, asserted in November that the president ousted the dictator Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi to allow Al Qaeda to take over Libya.
After a 15-year hiatus, Steve Stockman returned to the House this year and wasted no time. When the president appeared at a news conference surrounded by children after the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, Mr. Stockman compared Mr. Obama to Saddam Hussein for using children as props. He's now talking about impeaching Mr. Obama for proposing gun-control legislation.
The Senate is hardly immune. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who was elected in November, questioned, with no cause, whether Chuck Hagel, the defense secretary nominee, had taken money from terrorist states. The comment was criticized even by the Republican senator John McCain, himself a Hagel critic. Far from expressing regret, Mr. Cruz seemed to revel in the controversy.
This transcends ideology. Mr. Broun has the least conservative voting record of any House Republican from Georgia, according to the latest National Journal survey of voting records. Claiming the president worships the constitution of the Soviet Union isn't a conservative position — it's a nutty one, reminiscent of the John Birchers that Mr. Buckley assailed a half-century ago.
Another new senator, Jeff Flake of Arizona, is every bit as conservative as Mr. Cruz, and they will probably vote alike most of the time. Yet Mr. Cruz revels in vilification, while Mr. Flake seeks common ground when possible.
It is the Flake persona that should offer the greatest appeal to younger or more independent voters. Many conservatives insist that the United States is a center-right country, where voters are receptive to the case for limited government and cultural traditionalism. The changing demographic profile of the electorate seems to undercut that case.
That is a good debate to have. But conservatives can't compete in the argument when their party is identified with bizarre theories, bigotry and a visceral hatred of the president.
That's going to change when prominent Republicans with conservative bona fides — Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida — don't just talk the talk about a broader-based party but walk the walk and reject the haters.

Saving energy
There's almost no worse feeling than going out to the barn or shop on a bitterly cold winter's day only to find it's just as miserable inside as it is outside. So why not make a few quick changes to help warm up your outbuildings a little and cut down on those energy bills?
Landscape windbreaks
Though it won't help you this year, a combination of dense bushes or shrubs, evergreen trees, and an earth berm will help cut down on the windchill around your property in the future. When putting a windbreak in place, a good rule is to plant it at a distance from your home of two to five times the mature height of the trees you'll be using. Planting shrubs and bushes about 1 foot from the walls of your outbuildings will also serve as a kind of insulation. This creates air space that should help keep buildings warmer during the icy winter months.
Long-life, low-energy bulbs
Compact fluorescent bulbs, unlike ordinary incandescent light bulbs, last anywhere from 8,000 to 10,000 hours (compared to around 750), and they use considerably less energy. They run at a different temperature than their counterparts, so they will appear a cooler shade than you might be familiar with.
While more costly up front, these more efficient bulbs are certainly worth the extra expense. Assuming you use the lights in your shop or barn just two hours a day, changing four of your old bulbs to compact fluorescents can save you around $10 a year and last more than eight years. They also come in just about every size base. So if you look around, you should be able to find replacement bulbs relatively easily.
Buying new windows is not always a viable option, particularly for your outbuildings. A practical alternative is taping plastic sheeting to the insides of the window frames. A tight seal will help trap warm air in during the winter, even if the view from your horse's stall may be compromised.
Draught proofing
In older barns and shops, there can be small gaps in hidden places that can add up to a lot of energy lost. Take a walk around the inside of your buildings. Pay particular attention to the areas around doors and windows, old fireplaces or heaters, recessed lights, or anywhere you might suspect is letting too much outside weather in. Close any openings up with a good silicone construction caulk.
While it seems like an obvious choice, insulating or improving the insulation already in your outbuildings can be one of the most effective ways to prevent heat loss. It works for the summer months, too, helping trap cold air inside. While you may not want to take on the job of insulating an entire outbuilding while it's cold out, even a little bit will help. Consider insulating the hayloft or the attic of your outbuildings as the first step in keeping the heat in.

With an attention-grabbing lead performance, its topical issue subject matter (even EastEnders are at it) and The King's Speech director Tom Hooper at the helm, The Danish Girl is the very definition of Oscar bait, while Britain's own Eddie Redmayne could well see himself netting two Best Actor Oscars in a row with his performance as transgender pioneer Lili Erbe.
Based the book by David Ebershoff, the film begins in 1926 Copenhagen where happily married Einar (Redmayne) and Gerda Wegener (Alicia Vikander) are both pursuing careers as painters, albeit with varying degrees of success. One day, Gerda's model-slash-dancer friend Ulla (Amber Heard) is late for a sitting, so Gerda playfully asks her husband to don silk stockings and ballet slippers, whereupon something long-suppressed awakens in Einar and "Lili" is born.
Initially, Gerda encourages Einar, persuading him to attend a society party in drag, a decision she quickly regrets when she catches Lili being kissed by an apparently unsuspecting male suitor (Ben Whishaw as Henrik). However, as Einar realises that Lili is his true self, Gerda is forced to come to terms with the resulting loss of the man she knew, eventually standing by Lili's side as she seeks pioneering gender reassignment surgery.
Reuniting with Les Miserables director Hooper, Redmayne delivers an extremely accomplished, achingly sympathetic performance that is often heart-breaking to watch. In doing so, he affects a physical transformation that is every bit as impressive as his Oscar-winning turn as Stephen Hawking, expertly capturing every stage of Lili's emergence, with telling details supplied by Lucinda Coxon's script, such as Einar visiting a Parisian peep show to privately study female body language.
Commendably, the film isn't just about Einar's story, with Gerda reduced to the role of blandly supportive spouse; instead, as a line in the script makes clear, the story is as much about Vikander's "Danish girl" as Redmayne's. Accordingly, she delivers a compellingly compassionate performance and the script ensures that the audience's sympathies are equally torn between both characters – this is particularly notable in the scene where Einar announces his intention to live as Lili permanently, something that's presented almost as an act of cruelty, such is its devastating effect on her.
With two such stand-out lead performances, it's hard for anyone else to get much of a look-in, but Heard is enjoyably frivolous as Ulla (who gives Lili her name) and there's strong work from Matthias Schoenaerts (as Einar's childhood friend Hans), who has one of the film's best lines, to Lili: "I've only really liked a handful of people in my life, and you've been two of them."
The film looks exquisite throughout, courtesy of Danny Cohen's appropriately painterly cinematography (the colours becoming more vivid as Lili emerges) and Paco Delgado's sumptuous costumes. It also has to be said that Redmayne makes a highly convincing lady, thanks, in part to an exceptional job by the film's make-up team.
Indeed, if there's a problem with the film, it's only a vague feeling that some of the story's more grisly details (the operation, for example) have been sanitised in the name of chocolate box-style entertainment – see also, not uncoincidentally, The King's Speech.
In short, this is an emotionally engaging, sensitively written period drama with a pair of awards-worthy performances from Redmayne and Vikander.

I am loving the rumors that the Knicks are looking into bringing 39 year old free agent center Kurt Thomas back. I have always been a huge Thomas fan. He was great with the Knicks from '98-'04 and I even enjoyed watching him in Chicago this past season In watching him play this past season, he can still shoot, he still has that tenacity and meanness on the court and he delivered some hard fouls that the Knicks desperately need. He started 37 games for the Bulls this season, the team that had the best record in the Eastern Conference. While he averaged only 4.1 ppg and 5.8 rpg, his impact on the game doesn't come in statistics. He's 39 so he's a clear backup at this point but he has the ability to mentor our young guys like Josh Harrellson and Jerome Jordan. Him and Amare have a mutual admiration for each other from their Phoenix days. Would Thomas come in and save the team at center? No way. But could he provide veteran leadership, give you 15 solid minutes a game off the bench and provide the intimidation factor down low that we desperately need? Absolutely. Plus he'll come cheap on a willing 1 year contract which is what we need from our free agents as we prepare for the summer of 2012. Obviously this talk is all relative to the terms of the new CBA but I believe Thomas will come so cheap (he made 1.35 million last season) that he'll be affordable no matter what the cap is. There's a lot to like in Kurt Thomas' situation. For a man who has never won a championship, coming back to a talent infested New York ball club with a chance to get some playing time should make a lot of sense for him. Bringing in an old vet who already knows New York, knows the garden, and who would fit in nicely as a veteran on this young team makes a lot of sense for the Knicks. Lets get it done Knicks hierarchy. Bring back Kurt.

Another Connecticut town has joined massacre-ravaged Newtown in joining the supposed nut cases of the National Rifle Association on the school-security issue. Like Newtown, Enfield has decided to place armed guards at all its schools, at a cost estimated at $650,000 a year.
While Newtown understandably was almost unanimous about the armed guards, Enfield was closely divided, both in public sentiment and in the Board of Education's vote, only 5-4 in favor.
Indeed, school shouldn't be either a fearful armed camp or prison but a place of happiness and learning. But amid the country's social disintegration those days are long gone. Is it just coincidence that the craze in movies and literature is now vicious zombies and vampires, portraying a world where there can be no trust in humanity, where one can be swooped down upon by predators at any moment?
Such fears are not entirely paranoia but the controversy over armed guards in schools is overdone. For as the country's social disintegration worsened, long before the massacre in Newtown many if not most high schools already had installed police to maintain order, though such police have been euphemized as "school resource officers" to gloss over the real problem -- not assault by outsiders as in Newtown but by incorrigible students within.
Manchester, Conn.'s schools, long full of such students and the disturbances they cause, have purported to solve the embarrassing publicity problem of their arrests simply by no longer arresting them but rather removing them and surrounding them with social workers, a policy that may work insofar as it evokes the scene in Woody Allen's old film "Take the Money and Run" in which the worst discipline in prison is to be locked in "the hole" with an insurance salesman.
Even as so many public officials are wringing their hands over school security, the Connecticut Education Association, the state's largest teachers union, is pressing the General Assembly to enact legislation exempting teachers from any discipline for declining to break up fights at school.
The Connecticut Law Tribune reports that courts around the country are full of lawsuits by teachers seeking compensation for injuries suffered while trying to subdue violent students or to protect students or themselves against such attacks. A lawyer for the CEA, Christopher Hankins, says schools should have special "response teams" trained in breaking up fights. Hankins says hundreds of Connecticut teachers who have broken up fights in the last decade have been investigated by the state Department of Children and Families when a perpetrator trying to exonerate himself has claimed that excessive force was used against him or that a teacher restraining him touched him inappropriately.
The day is approaching when every student in some schools will have his own "school resource officer" and social worker, neatly substituting for the parents he never had. Whoever will be to blame for this, it won't be the NRA.

Wow I absolutely love this photo.
Amazing photo
This is brilliant. I love how well dressed this militia is. Classy :)
They look very dashing. Being a resistance fighter must have taken real guts.
Hi Mette: You have such good reason to be proud of your grandfather. I have studied the Shoah (Holocaust) most of my life. And I married a woman who is also the granddaughter of Danes. Denmark was a noble example of fighting for freedom, and as a country saving as many Jews as possible. Of course many individuals all over Europe were heros on an individual level. But it is Denmark that stands out as an entire nation fighting for what is good and right. When the Jews of Denmark were forced by the Nazis to wear the yellow Star of David to indicate that they were Jews (and thus targets), the King then sewed a Star of David on his clothes too, stating that in Denmark "all are Jews." What a great man. What a great people. What a great nation! How I love the people of Danmark (Denmark).

Love vintage black and whites!
I'm married to a Danish-American. They are lovely, peaceful people–until someone tries to push them around–then watch out!!!!They will not knuckle under or give up their ideals. Love them!!!!!! I am glad you have this as your family history.
Fantastic snap shot of a piece of history and very powerful.
The Danes undertook heroic efforts to oppose the Nazi occupation of their country. Celebrate your grandfather's bravery, and his integrity!
This photo is so full of sophistication despite being taken in one of the longest most gruesome wars. Incredible. I also love how the 2 gentlemen on the right are displaying their revolvers. It's so old school.
Which one is your grandfather?
Wonderful variety of hats
This is one the best vintage photos I've ever seen. I mean, not just visually the best considering the fact that it's vintage. But also, the great honor these men have. I mean, they are heroes and deserves to be remembered for ever :)
just found a new desktop background, such a powerful picture
Intense. Your grandpa was very brave.
i absolutely adore those vintage photos on your blog!
they express that much and i wanted even more to live in an earlier time :)
That's what you get,
That's what you get,
And after all this time
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes
Do not make the man
All we have to do now is take these lies
And make them true somehow
All we have to see is that i don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me yea yea
You've got to give for what you take
You've got to give for what you take
Yea you've got to give for what you, give for what you give.
What an amazing photo. It makes me proud to be a Dane. I too have a new desktop background.
Great photo. I'm proud to be Danish!! One of my old neighbors was a freedom fighter too. He went to the only concentrationcamp in Denmark, and he also went to Dachau and survived!
I love the guys on the far left and right. Like the coats belted on the outside.
It´s a great picture because what it means.
We´re talking about heroes fighting against the evil!
I love this photograph for so many reasons and I will always LOVE the guts and bravery of these kind of guys. Feel sure that elegance was the last thing on their minds so it must have been a god given gift and WOW!
Mad rad!!
I cant begin to tell you how much I love this photo!! you have such an amazing amount of your family's photos.
Thanks again for sharing.
I'm a dane myself, and i think this photo is one of the best i've ever seen , Mette!
They all look so bold and proud – like taken from a movie!
It reminds me a bit of Inglorious Bastards !
I wonder if he ever met / worked with "Flame and Citron" , my father passed before I could ask him the same question….
We need to remember ….
Love the trenchcodes.
This is my favorite vintage photo. I love gear! Pockets, tabs, belts, grommets, rivets, etc. But most of all I love the spirit I see here. Your grandfather must have been a courageous and remarkable person. Thank you so much for posting this!
I like the picture too, the clothes and the atmosphere. Everyone of them hopefully made a difference in a bad period of European history. Stylish clothes.
David H. writes: "But it is Denmark that stands out as an entire nation fighting for what is good and right."
Without judging about good and bad, I do not know if Denmark was the good example. Until 1940 the Danes had sent German jews back like most countries had done (as the Danish jew Vilhjalmur Örn Vilhjarmursson has pointed out).
In 1940 Denmark surrendered after 2 hours of fighting. During the years that followed the government in Copenhagen collaborated with nazi-Germany. E.g. each year of the war, Denmark delivered more than one month's food supply to Germany (according to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs itself).
At one moment, the Danish prime minister even announced actions against Danish freedom fighters (speech known as "stikkertale") and against all those, that would oppose to the German military forces.
Denmark was even kind of a riviera for German soldiers. They called it the "butter front". There was no fighting and plenty of food. The resistance was not a threat to the German military, but it did a good job by taking "care" of the Danish collaborators, convinced nazis etc. and thus made a difference.
The "good" thing about the Danish collaboration was that the government and king remained in Copenhagen and thus were able to protect the own population, including the own Danish (not German) Jewish population.
The good thing is, that Danish officials saved 7000 Danish jews when the highest German official in 1943 announced very loud and clear that the jews would be taken to the camps.
But David H, other European countries had chosen to fight nazi-Germany in 1940. These countries lost, their governments fled to London, and these populations – including the Jews, the gipsies, the disabled etc. – were left in the hands of the bad nazis. These countries did not have their own high officials that could act on their own when the Germans decided to take care of the Jews, the gipsies etc to the camps. Also, in these other countries it was never announced loud and clear that the Jews were being taken to the camps. Municipalities had to make lists of Jews and that was just the first in a series of measures that never took place in Denmark.
Ironically, the Danish collaboration with nazi-Germany saved the Jewish population. And yes, the Danish officials acted immediately. But I doubt the Danish collaboration can be seen as a good example, even if it saved 7000 people.
Anyway, despite the collaboration, the Danes were not in favour of Germany during the war. Which this picture of freedom fighters points out. Thanks for sharing, Mette.
If you guys google: "Flammen og citronen", you can see clips from a danish movie that tells the story about freedom fighters, noble men and villains during ww2.
Cool danish movie.
Is your grandad Ib Jorgensen? and is he second from left?
There's a wonderful book — Rescue in Denmark — about the heroic efforts of freedom fighters and sabateurs like your grandfather and the others in this picture. It highlights the many, many efforts of ordinary Danes to hide their Jewish countrymen and help them escape to Sweden, and later to resist the German occupation. It's now out of print, sadly, but available via Amazon.
I loved seeing this picture.
I love the bagginess of the second trousers and the "wet look" of that amazing trench !!
yes i also love them, they are amazing.
This is fucking badass.
Great pic.
Consider the fates that would have befallen these men and their families if this photo had fallen into the hands of the Gestap during WW2.
So much for the Danish resistance to Nazis!!! Denmark surrended in only 2 hours after a German courier on a motorbike delivered the Nazi mandate. The post by "Art" above, is – all the way – valid.
They are very lightly armed; of the six of them only two have submachine guns and one (second from left) has the actual machine gun capable of punching holes in walls or vehicles. Three only have revolvers.
They would not be able to match the firepower of a equivalent number of enemy armed with at least rifles and grenades, so I suggest that they would have only been successful at urban ambush, and not at any assaulting of buildings, etc.
More details please, good pic of the boys. I hope they all made it through.
My 7th and 8th grade Math teacher at Hopkins Grammar School in New HAven GT. during the mid 1960s was named Ib Jorgensen. He told of this group and I believe he participated in some similar activities. I recall he used to do a lot of stuffing potatoes up Nazi staff car exhaust pipes. He was a good man and a great teacher. We were in complete awe of him.
I also remember Ib Jorgensen and his math class. He was one truly tough guy.
great picture a friend of mine was also in the resistance movement I was a boy at the time in Denmark makes me proud to be Danish (Danish Australian now)
I love this vintage photo. awesome. please keep posting these type of photos.

Subscribe To Ben Kingsley Reveals He's Working On A Secret Project With Marvel Studios Updates
I've already subscribed
One of the greatest surprises the summer had to offer was the twist involving The Mandarin's origin in Marvel's Iron Man 3. But even though Tony Stark defeated the baddies, it seems Ben Kingsley's work as Trevor "The Mandarin" Slattery isn't done just yet! Speaking with The Belfast Telegraph , (via Coming Soon), Kingsley revealed he's reteamed with Marvel and much of the Iron Man 3 crew for a "secret project." He explained:
"It's a secret Marvel project. I'm not allowed to say any more, you're going to have to wait and see… I was with many members of the crew that were involved in Iron Man 3. It was lovely to see them again. It was great to be with this wonderful family…I think they have enormous taste as creative artists. There's nothing lazy or gratuitous about their work. They are at the top of their game, and they're great company to keep."
What could this mean for the fast-expanding Marvel movie universe? Well, to discuss the possibilities, we're going to have to get into spoilers for Iron Man 3. So if you somehow haven't yet seen the movie that has grossed more than $1.2 billion worldwide, you probably should stop reading now.
Okay, so in the third installment of the Tony Stark-centered franchise, our titular superhero was facing off against a notorious terrorist called The Mandarin, whose cryptic messages took credit for explosions that caused civilian causalities, and included promises of more mayhem to come. But after struggling through crippling self doubt, the self-proclaimed genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist suited up and came face to face with this unholy terror…only to discover The Mandarin was just a cowardly and morally bankrupt actor named Trevor Slattery, serving as a front for a far more insidious foe. By movie's end, Slattery was arrested--presumably as an accomplice to crimes including murder and treason--but what could be up to now?
While some out there might leap to the conclusion that Kingsley is hinting at plans for Iron Man 4 that seems unlikely - mostly because the English Academy Award-winner is an old pro, and probably knows better than to leak info about a project that big. And though Robert Downey Jr. has signed on for both Avengers 2 and 3, there's no firm word that Iron Man 4 is yet in the cards. It could be possible Slattery/The Mandarin will pop up on the Avengers spinoff series The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, which recently had Samuel L. Jackson reprise his role of Nick Fury in a surprise cameo. But it's highly doubtful, as the show is far from a "secret project."
The most likely options boil down to two by our count. One is that Kingsley will appear in an end credits scene in an upcoming Marvel movie, possibly in a comical note as Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner did at the very end of Iron Man 3. The other possibility - and the one that could be the most intriguing - is that Kingsley's secret project is another Marvel One-Shot short, like "The Consultant," "Agent Carter," and "Item 47." These short films basically allow the studio to flesh out their film worlds with smaller stories, and serve as a sort of bonus gift for fans hungry for Marvel's next movie. Basically, these One-Shots could prove a perfect venue to have more fun with the decidedly bonkers character of Trevor Slattery. Maybe the US government or S.H.I.E.L.D. will co-opt him as a front that can work to their advantage? Or he could be chatty cellmate to another vanquished villain?
Sadly, Marvel producer Kevin Feige is keeping mum on this secret project for now. So all we can do is speculate. Feel free to share your guesses below in comments.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Justice Department's consumer protection initiatives have recovered more than $5.89 billion since 2009 and have led to more than 140 criminal convictions and prison sentences of more than 327 years.
The department's civil division released the figures Friday at a meeting of more than two dozen state and federal agencies focused on combating fraud against consumers.
The department's Consumer Protection Branch last year recovered $1.9 billion in criminal fines and other financial penalties against companies that allegedly misbranded pharmaceuticals, sold unsafe products, and resold prescription drugs that had been diverted from lawful channels.
The Consumer Protection Branch played an important role in bringing a lawsuit against credit rating agency Standard & Poor's for allegedly scheming to defraud investors in residential mortgage-backed securities.
