Firefighters rescue man from flat fire
Thu 9 Jan, 2014
Firefighters rescued a man from a third-storey flat in Amersham this morning after a fire broke out in an adjacent flat.
Crews from Amersham, Chesham and High Wycombe were called to the fire, at Chiltern Heights in White Lion Road, shortly before 3am.
Group Manager Neil Boustred, head of Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service's community safety team, said: "Crews were faced with smoke issuing from a flat on the top floor, with an occupant of the adjacent flat on his balcony.
"Firefighters brought him down to safety, and he was treated for smoke inhalation by an attending ambulance crew.
"The occupant of the flat which was on fire was outside his flat when firefighters arrived. Following the evacuation of three people from adjoining flats, it was confirmed that everyone was accounted for."
About three-quarters of the flat was damaged by fire, and the whole flat was damaged by smoke. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a jet and a hose reel to put out the fire.
An investigation is being carried out into the cause of the fire. Firefighters carried out a reinspection at 9.30am.

Difference between revisions of "Vienna"
Revision as of 15:04, 31 March 2008
Template:Euro2008Host Vienna [28] (German: Wien) is the capital and largest city of Austria, and the Historic City Centre was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It will be one of the eight host cities in the 2008 European Football Championships.
Vienna has hosted the Habsburg court for several centuries, first as the imperial see of the Holy Roman Empire, then the capital of the Austrian Empire and later of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This has tremendously influenced the culture that exists there today. Like Munich, its residents are formal, but with small doses of courtliness, polite forms of address and formal dress attire, the residents of Vienna tend to be equally modern and old-fashioned. Waiters address their customers with honorifics; a man who bumps into someone on the street is more than likely to implore his or her pardon with a small bow; tourists are treated as if they were a long-lost member of the royal family returning home. This luxurious treatment is one of the reasons that many people enjoy visiting Vienna.
The traditional Vienna is but one of the many façades of this city. Vienna is also a dynamic, young city, famous for its (electronic) music scene with independent labels, cult-status underground record stores, a vibrant club scene, multitudes of street performers and a government that seems overly obsessed with complicated paperwork. However, people are willing to go out of their way or bend the rules a little if they feel they can do someone a favor.
The Viennese have a singular fascination with death, hence the popularity of the Zentralfriedhof (Central Cemetery) as a strolling location and of Schrammelmusik - highly sentimental music with lyrics pertaining to death. Old-fashioned Sterbevereine (funeral insurance societies) provide members with the opportunity to save up for a nice funeral throughout the course of their lives. This service does not exist solely to save their children the hassle and expense - it is considered absolutely mandatory to provide for an adequate burial. Vienna even has the Bestattungsmuseum, a museum devoted to coffins and mortuary science. The country's morbid obsession may be correlated with their higher suicide rate when compared with the rest of Europe.
Vienna is also famous for its coffee culture. "Let's have a coffee" is a very common phrase to hear, because despite incursions by Starbucks and Italian-style espresso bars, the Kaffeehaus is still the traditional place to drink a cup of coffee, read the newspaper, meet friends or fall in love.
The City has a very convenient layout for the traveller:
The 'old town', or city center, is the first district. It is encircled by the 'Ring' road, which is also the location of many famous old buildings. Districts 2-9 are gathered within the Gürtel ('belt') Road; there, you can find the Prater (amusement) park, the hip quarters of the second district (close to Schwedenplatz), the shopping streets of Mariahilferstraße, Hundertwasser House, the Hundertwasser Kunsthaus, and so on.
Outside the 'belt', there's the Donauturm Tower, and Schönbrunn Castle, the most visited tourist attraction and deservedly so.
Vienna Tourist Board [29] operates information and booking booths at the airport Arrival Hall, 7am-11pm and in town at Vienna 1, Albertinaplatz/Maysedergasse.
Summer in Vienna is usually warm, in June and July the weather is moderate, sunny with a light summer windy breeze. In August, there are some hot days where it reaches 34 degrees Celsius, but overall, Summer in Vienna is pleasant.
Autumn starts around September, and it gets colder as it approaches November. A main disadvantage in the Viennese climate is that it is very windy, in the summer it is an advantage, but in the Winter, it makes it feel colder.
Get in
By plane
The Vienna International Airport (IATA: VIE; ICAO: LOWW) is actually located in the suburb of "Schwechat". The airport "Wien-Schwechat" is the home base of the Flagcarrier Austrian and the budget airline Fly Niki. Most European airlines and a significant number of international airlines have direct connections to Vienna.
Nevertheless, sometimes it is cheaper to fly to a nearby city and connect by train or bus. Ryanair flies to Linz (1.5 - 2 hours by train), Graz (2.5 hours by train) and Brno (IATA: BRQ) and Sky Europe flies to Bratislava (1.5 hours by bus and 8 euros book at Ryan airlines destinations page). By March 25, 2007, SkyEurope will also serve Vienna International Airport from which the company will operate a network of 16 European routes.
There are three options by public transport to reach the city center of Vienna.
As a point of reference, a taxi from the airport to the western part of the city (District 7) is around EUR 40 (including extras and a tip). A taxi from the Rennweg S-Bahn station (where the S-Bahn to the airport departs) to the airport costs around 25 EUR. Taxi prices are negotiable before you climb in! If your destination is north or west of the city centre a pre-booked taxi might be much cheaper, http://www.ck-airportservice.at/ offers a flat rate of 27 Euros to any destination in Vienna.
The City Airport Train (CAT) takes you directly from the airport to the city centre in 16 minutes. The return ticket costs €16 or €9 one way. The CAT is used mainly by business travellers (or those lured by advertising into believing that there are no alternatives) and is only useful if you are in a great hurry. The CAT is owned by the airport (not by the Austrian Federal Railways) and is heavily advertised in Austrian Airlines cabin announcements upon landing, in terminal transfer buses and in the airport building itself.
When you leave Vienna by plane, and if you use Star Alliance Flights, Air Berlin or Fly Niki, your baggage can be checked in at the city center, which leaves you baggage-free and more time in Vienna; the price is still high for saving 11 minutes.
[Note: If you are flying to the United States, due to extra security measures, you cannot check-in your luggage at the City Center.]
Although no longer advertised by the airport management (which prefers to deny the S-Bahn's existence and to promote its overpriced CAT instead), the normal S-Bahn (Schnellbahn) (fast regional train) S7 (or S2) is also direct, merely 10 minutes slower than the CAT and costs just a third: €6,80 return (or €3,40 one way) if bought in advance (and only €3 if you have the Wien card), stopping at Wien Mitte, Wien Nord and Wien Handelskai among others. If you already have a U-Bahn day pass, you only need to add a "Aussenzonen" (outer zone) ticket for 1,70 Euro (has to be bought in advance). Do punch the ticket before getting on the S-Bahn, as punching machines are not installed inside the train. Note that you will need to buy a 2-zone ticket (or two 1-zone tickets) to total €3,40 each way to and from the airport. To reach the S-Bahn, follow the CAT signs for all but the final 50 meters: the S-Bahn and the CAT leave from the same underground railway station, but from different platforms. For more information check out http://www.info.wien.at/article.asp?IDArticle=10263.
Once you have your 2-zone ticket, you can travel from the airport to any Viennese destination (free transfer for one hour; you don't need to buy further tickets for Viennese bus, subway or tram lines).
There are two direct lines going every 30 minutes from the airport to Vienna. One is going to "Morzinplatz" next to "Schwedenplatz" very close to the city center, the other one to the main railway stations. At Schwedenplatz you have two subway lines (U4 and U1) as well as busses and trams. In about 5 minutes walk you are at St. Stephan´s Cathedral, the very center of Vienna. The trip costs €6 and takes about 20 minutes. The bus trip to Südbahnhof (Southern Rail Station) or Westbahnhof (Western Rail Station) costs €6 and takes about half an hour. Usually a bus leaves the airport or the stations every 30 minutes. Costs : Single ride - 6 Euro, Round trip - 11 Euro. You buy the ticket from the bus driver.
By train
Vienna is a railroad hub, easily accessible from other major European cities. Overnight trains arrive from places like Amsterdam, Strasbourg, Bucharest, Sofia, Belgrade, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Munich, Moscow, Kiev, Milan, Warsaw, Cracow, Prague, Cheb, Rijeka, Koper, Rome and Venice. The day trains from Prague take less than 5 hours, the night train takes less than 8 hours. From Budapest, the train ride is 2.5 hours.
There are several cheap train offers to and from Vienna, mainly to destinations in Germany and Italy, but also Strasbourg and some other destinations. These all cost €29 for a one-way seater, €39 for a couchette, or €59 for a sleeper. You have to book quite a bit in advance (to Berlin and Hamburg about two months in advance, especially in summer), but it is definitely worth the effort as it takes you right to the center of a city early in the morning (unlike taking the plane)
There is a special discounted round-trip ticket you can buy if traveling from Budapest called a "kirandulójegy" or excursion ticket in English. For €29 you can buy a round trip ticket between Budapest and Vienna good for 4 days that will also cover all your local transportation within Zone 100. Since a 3-day transport pass usually costs €12 you're basically getting a round trip ticket for €17! This is an excellent deal especially if you're planning on going back to Budapest.
NOTE: There are 2 major train stations, Westbahnhof (West Station) and Südbahnhof (South Station). Südbahnhof does not connect directly to the metro system. The nearest metro station is outside of the station about 400m away. Look for Südtiroler Platz. Many trains from Germany arrive at the Westbahnhof. Trains to Bratislava (only an hour away) usually depart from the Südbahnhof, but occasionally from the Westbahnhof.
By car
Most Austrian highways ("Autobahn") terminate/originate in Vienna.
Unlike Germany, there is a strictly enforced speed limit of 130 km/h on highways (80 km/h on highway sections in Vienna). Within towns it is 50 km/h, and on major roads it is 100 km/h.
Also a Highway Toll Sticker (Vignette) is a must! Not having one can be really expensive. Usually they can be purchased at petrol (gas) stations.
Drivers in Austria are also required by law to carry certain safety equipment. This includes a reflective vest, first aid kit and traffic warning triangle[30]
A cheaper alternative is park and ride, normally available at U Bahn stations in the city periphery, for example at U3 Erdberg station (€ 2,70 per day).
Avoid the A23 Südosttangente at rush hour. Traffic jams are almost guaranteed there.
By bus
Eurolines is a relatively cheap way to reach Vienna from major European cities. Buses usually stop at the subway station Erdberg (line U3).
By boat
Riverboats on the Danube include connections with Bratislava and Budapest, but it's of little value - unless you just love going on (slow and relatively expensive) riverboats. There is a fast catamaran service to Bratislava [31] for 25 euros.
Get around
Vienna has a good public transport system[32], which includes commuter rail, underground, trams (trolleys), and buses. The subway system is very efficient and will take you to within a few minutes' walk of anywhere you are likely to want to visit. The tram system, however, can be a horrifying experience, especially if you do not have prior experience with the Viennese tram system, speak basic German, or if you do not posses a decent street map. Some tram stops are not very well identified so it is very easy to miss your stop multiple times.
Within Vienna itself, you can get a single trip ticket for any of these for €1.70 (€0.9 for children and dogs) or a 24-hour ticket for €5.70, a three days pass is €13.60. A one-person Wochenkarte (a week ticket covering all means of transport) stands at €14 for lines within zone 100 (=whole Vienna), but is fixed for the Monday to Sunday period. A one-month-pass is €49.50 and is valid from the first day of the month through the second day of the following month.
You can buy all kinds of tickets at machines or from counters in or near S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations and in the small shops selling tobacco and newspapers (Trafik). In trams and buses you can only buy single tickets, which are more expensive (€2.20 full fare, €1.10 for children). Stamp your ticket at the start of its first use (there are stamping machines on the buses and trams, and near the entrances to the stations). You can use one ticket to go in one direction on as many lines as you like, for as long as it takes you to get there. You have to buy another ticket if you stop and get out, or if you want to go back in the direction from which you came. Payment is by the honour system; normally you don't have to show the ticket or stamp it again when you board, but occasionally inspectors check for valid tickets. If you don't have one, it's an instant €60 fine (plus the fare you were supposed to have paid).
If you're staying for a few days and hope to do lots of sight-seeing or shopping, the Vienna Card (Wien Karte)[33] is a good deal. It costs €18.50 and is good for 72 hours of unlimited public transit within Vienna. The card also gets you discounts (typically €1 or €2 at the major museums and art galleries) to many attractions and shops. You can buy it at the airport, hotels, and underground stops. Other options for longer stays or multiple parties include weekly and monthly passes, and the 8 person-day card (i.e. good for 1 person for 8 days, 2 people for 4 days, or 4 people for 2 days).
The 8 person-day card (8-Tage-Karte) for €27.20 gives 8 non-consecutive days of unlimited travel on U-Bahn and trams until 1:00AM (just after midnight). There are 8 blank lines on the Karte (ticket). Fold the ticket to the desired blank line starting with blank line numbered 1. The ticket can be shared by people traveling together. Punch one line per person per day. Trams have a punch machine inside. The S-Bahn and U-Bahn have a punch machine at the entrance. You can travel to the Flughafen (airport) on the S-Bahn using this ticket with an additional €1.70 Außenzonen (outer zone) ticket.
Rail trips to the outskirts of Vienna may require additional fare. For example, a trip to or from the airport on the S7 line is a two-zone ride, requiring either a €3.40 advance purchase, or a single zone (€1.70) ticket supplement to one of the timed-use Vienna tickets.
Because Vienna is one of those cities that never sleeps, a dense network of night buses is available for those who have a rather nocturnal approach to tourism. Since 2002, regular tickets may be used on these buses. Most terminate at "Kärntner Ring, Oper", which allows for easy interchange. Intervals are usually 30 minutes, with some busier lines (especially on friday and saturday night) going every 15 minutes. In weekend nights you can also use the S-Bahn between Meidling and Floridsdorf which has a 20 minute interval.
There are five U-Bahn (subway) lines – U1, U2, U3, U4 und U6. For whatever reason, there is not a U5 line.
On foot
Walking can also be very pleasant. The inner Ring is quite compact, with lots of pleasant cobblestoned and paved streets, and can be crossed in about 20 minutes.
Bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes as this is the most common way of getting around.
By bicycle
Cycling is another popular option for travelling within Vienna, as there are many bicycle paths and lanes along major streets, in parks, and by the rivers. Vienna's compact size makes cycling attractive. On a bicycle you can reach most places of interest within half an hour.
If your destination is located in the outer suburbs, you may consider taking your bike on the U-Bahn or S-Bahn (except in rush hour!). A company called PedalPower offers guided bicycle tours, or bicycle rental deliveries to your hotel (or you can pick them up at the Prater for a discount).
By car
Avoid driving a car within the central ring if possible. While cars are allowed on many of the streets there, the streets are narrow and mostly one-way, and can be confusing for a visitor, and parking is extremely limited (and restricted during the day). Due to the comprehensiveness of the transit system, you most likely will not need a car within Vienna, except for excursions elsewhere.
Furthermore, it might be a good idea to leave your car at home during rush hours. Vienna's streets can become a little clogged in the mornings and early evenings and the drivers are not really known for being especially polite and friendly.
Pedestrians have the right of way in crossing all roads at a crosswalk where there is no pedestrian signal present. If there is such a pedestrian crossing on an otherwise straight section of the road, there will be a warning sign - you are required to yield to any pedestrian on this crossing! Austrians accustomed to experienced local drivers will step out with little thought and force you to stop, so slow down here and be careful! When driving in a neighborhood this "right of way to pedestrians" is an understood rule at every intersection, although pedestrians will be more careful before they step out. Again, be on the lookout for this - if you see a pedestrian waiting to cross, you should stop at the intersection for him/her.
Castles and Palaces
Take U4, trams 10, 58, stop Schoenbrunn.
Religious buildings
Other attractions
In the summer it's just wonderful to hang out in Museumsquartier in the evenings. The big yard is filled with large fiberglass sofas you can use for free. Optionally you can buy drinks at the open air bars there. Just ask for a glass you can take away so you can use the sofas. During the day a visit to Burggarten is highly recommended if you are looking for a more alternative young crowd. Buy something to eat and drink at a supermarket and join the others on the grass.
In July and August there's an opera film festival on the Rathausplatz. Each day - weather permitting - you can watch an opera on a huge open-air screen. On another part of the Square there are plenty of food stalls (maybe a little overpriced) who offer Viennese as well as international food. On pleasant summer evenings the atmosphere can be quite relaxing.
There are also a lot of other open-air-filmfestivals in summer, e.g. at the Augarten, the Vienna Turf Krieau, the Prater and Schloss Neugebäude.
Also in the summer there is the ImPulsTanz Festival [65] for contemporary dance & performance. But if you are interested in dance workshops they also are the right choice for you.
There are many parks to visit an enjoy throughout the city. The Wiener Tiergarten (not the Lainzer Tiergarten at Schönbrunn) has several 2-10 km hiking trails, as well as a variety of wildlife. You can see the animals get fed at 2:00 pm every day. Ask any park attendant where the location is.
Today only two Viennese clubs are left in the Austrian top football division: Rapid Vienna and Austria Magna.
Rapid have won the Austrian league 31 times, this is more than any other club. They are known as the people's club, having working class roots and regularly attracting fairly big crowds of around 15.000. Home fixtures are played at the Gerhard-Hanappi-Stadion in the 14th district, right next to the subway station "Hütteldorf" (U4).
Season usually starts in late July and ends in May, with a break in winter from early December until late February (due to cold weather). Tickets are available at the stadium, at various tobacco shops (Trafik) around town and also on the internet at www.skrapid.at[66] (no English section available!). Ticket prices for league matches range from € 18 to € 26. Ladies, students and children will receive considerable discounts. For a schedule of fixtures in English go to www.soccerassociation.com[67], click "Austria" and "Bundesliga".
Christmas Markets
For most Viennese Christmas Markets [40] are not so much for shopping as for drinking. From midday until the late hours of the night people gather at christmas markets to drink mulled wine and chat to strangers.
The traditional Viennese fast food is sausage. You can buy hot sausages and hot dogs at snack bars called "Würstelstand" all over the town. The famous Wiener Würstel is also known as the Frankfurter in Vienna, but most inhabitants prefer Burenwurst and Käsekrainer (sausage filled with cheese).
A relatively new addition to the local snack culture is Döner Kebap, sandwiches of Turkish origin with roasted meat, salad and yogurt sauce. Places that sell kebap often sell take-away pizza too. Some conservatives are afraid that kebap will gain more popularity than sausages, and perhaps they are right.
Good kebaps can be bought at the Naschmarkt; the lower end of the Naschmarkt (furthest away from Karlsplatz or city centre) is cheaper than the upper end. Another good place to find snacks (especialy whilegoing out) is "Schwedenplatz".
By far the cheapest way to get a fast food meal in Austria (and probably the only meal available for under 1 euro) is buying an Austrian sandwich (bread roll + ham/cheese + gherkin) from a supermarket. Most supermarkets will prepare sandwiches to take away at the deli counter (Feinkostabteilung) for no extra charge. You only pay for the bread and the ham. There is usually a large selection of meat products, cheese and bread rolls available. You point at the combination you want and then pay at the check out till. Freshness and quality are normally better than at a sandwich stand on the street.
You can buy excellent ice cream at a number of places, maybe the most popular is the Eissalon am Schwedenplatz where you can choose from a lot of different flavours, but it's always crowded and you often have to stand in a queue for a few minutes to get your ice cream. Another, maybe less crowded, but nevertheless excellent address is Perizzolo in Tuchlauben. Another Famous Place for Ice Cream is Tichy on the Reumannplatz (10th District), which is famous for its Eismarillenknödel, small dumplings of vanilla ice cream with an apricot core.
There is also Zanoni & Zanoni located Am Lugeck, just down Rotenturmstrasse from the Stephansdom. You should also try Bortolotti at Mariahilfer Straße 22 and 94. (The latter not open during winter!) - ask particularily for the Campari-Orange Icecream or look for other exotic stuff.
New wine is usually enjoyed at a Heurigen (wine bar licensed to sell the new vintage). Austria in general, but especially the area around Vienna, produces quite a large amount of wine each year. It's not often exported, and white is more common than red. Grüner Veltliner is a common white wine served almost everywhere. Officially the new wine season begins 11 November, St Martin's Day, but as early as September some partially-fermented new wine (called Sturm which is cloudy because it has not been strained) is available around town in 2-liter green bottles (try the Naschmarkt – sometimes the vendors will have samples). Taverns can call themselves Heurigens whether the wine they serve is their own or not – for genuine in-house product, look for a Buschenschank. This is a particularly Viennese Heuriger which can only be open 300 days per year or until their supply of house-made wine runs out. Heurigen can be found e.g. in Grinzing, Sievering (19th district) and Mauer & Rodaun (23rd district) areas but also in almost every suburban area in Vienna. Even in the center there are some Stadtheurigen. While the Heurigen of Grinzing are bigger and more famous with tourists, they are often a rip-off. If any of the year's vintage lasts until next year, it officially becomes Alte (old) wine on the next St Martin's Day. The Heurigen in the South of Vienna or in Perchtoldsdorf are much cheaper and serve at last the same quality as the Heurigen in Grinzing. Also in the Northern suburbs you can find cheap and somewhat authentic Heurigen. Try for example the towns of Stammersdorf or Hagenbrunn, for example Karl Matzka [78], hard to reach by public transport
After a long day, the perfect place to relax among Viennese are the Heurigen in the suburbs. Somewhat akin to a beer garden, except with wine, these tiny treasures are the only places authorized to serve new wine. New wine is made from the first pressing of the grape, and can appear a little cloudy. Be careful! It's stronger than you might think! This is why it's served in very small glasses, .25 liters and up. Some Heurigen serve food, either elaborate Viennese specialties or very simple bread and cheese platters. No matter which one you choose, you're guaranteed to enjoy yourself. Just hop on a convenient outbound tramline, take it to the very last stop and look for buildings with large, evergreen foliage hung over the doors. Each one is unique, but all are a good bargain. Locals invariably have a favorite: ask around.
If you come to Vienna and don't try some coffee you've missed one of the great reasons to come here. Vienna has a reputation for having an excellent coffee culture. You should at least visit one of the countless traditional 19th century coffee houses where you can sit down, relax and have some coffee. But please, never just order coffee, for you could deeply offend the Herr Ober, the "senior waiter" of the coffee house. Vienna prides itself of its dozens of Varieties of different coffees like "Kleiner Brauner", "Melange", "Kapuziner" or "Kaffee Verkehrt". More information on Viennese Coffee Houses can be found at the homepage of the Vienna Coffee Houses
Bars and Beerhouses
Vienna doesn't have the reputation of being a European party city, but when night falls – the Viennese let go of their inhibitions. If you're walking around the center of town, you're bound to run into touts passing out vouchers for free drinks or waiving door fees. During the summer, restaurants stay open late into the night, so even if you're not looking for a club scene there is likely to be something for you.
Vienna has a large number of wireless hotspots in bars, restaurants, and cafés.
Stay safe
Vienna is one of the safest cities in the world for its size. There are no slums or districts you should avoid. In general, you can visit any part of the city at any time of the day without taking many risks -- just use your common sense. At night, though, it is wise to avoid parks, as well as the area within and around Karlsplatz station and Schwedenplatz station (other opinion: the underground stops there aswell as the areas around are also safe during the night. The drug scene at Karlsplatz is hanging out there also during the day and they do not care at all about tourist, just ignore them and they will ignore you) . The Prater (fair grounds/amusement park area) is said by some locals to be less safe at night, though more in reference to pickpockets than anything else. As in any major city, watch out for pickpockets who grab and run when boarding the U-Bahn (subway). There are few racist assaults in Vienna, but its streets and public-transport facilities are littered with racist (anti-black) graffiti. Some areas around the Prater and around the Westbahnhof are spots for illegal Prostitutions, female travellers walking around there alone might feel uncomfortable in these areas during the night.
Recently there has been some reports of fraud around Karlsplatz and Ressel Park area, also near the ring. Usual scenario as follows: someone stops you asking for direction. A couple of other guys show up claiming to be police, showing a badge (must be fake). They ask if you were getting drugs from the other guy and asks for your passport and wallet for verification. When you are busy trying to convince them that your passport is valid, one of them sneaks out some money from your wallet. Best to tell them that you want to go to the police station -- there is one at Karlsplatz U-Bahnstation. Its a minor annoyance, but its better to be careful.
Get out
You can hitchhike to Brno: take the tram to Brunner Straße. There is main road from Vienna to Brno, so thumbing there should be very easy. There is also enough space for sleeping.
Places around Vienna
Sammlung Essl - Contemporary Art [102] Sammlung Essl - Kunst der Gegenwart. With its 5000 artworks the Essl collection provides an excellent overview of Austrian painting since 1945. This overview is presented in the context of international art. It is a private art collection featured in a newly built museum. How to get there? Take the U4 Subway to 'Heiligenstadt' (the end-station) then an additional 10 minutes by bus or S-Bahn to Klosterneuburg-Kierling.

Ride Home 11/28
The rest of the ride home was plumb. The weather was pleasant. The CaBi rode fine and it was somewhat before rush hour, so the car traffic wasn't too bad. What about other bicyclists? Yes, there were some. What about pedestrians using the bike lanes as an extended walkway and refuge? Them too. Zombie joggers? Sure, but only a few.
I took the path alongside the Capitol and I think I've decided that the path is the way to go. And since a sign says that pedestrians should watch out for bicyclists, that means I guess I'm allowed to ride there. It's a rather wide path and perfectly amenable to bikes. I don't know why I've forsaken it until now.
Photobombed a bunch of tourists. This is getting to be my favorite thing to do on the ride home. How many dome pictures have been ruined by my biking through them?
I docked at 14th and D and stopped in the Safeway for some stuff for dinner and walked the rest of the way home. Back on the regular bike tomorrow.

I think the "Secret White House Dock usage" trumps your "black key" CaBi cred. I'm planning to frame my black key that I had to replace because it's about to split in half. I was thinking of a nice little shadow box with "CaBi is my gateway drug" cross-stitched around the key.ReplyDelete
They've recently redone the "paths" AKA sidewalks around the south side of the Capitol. The aggregate used for the surface is smoother and the paths are much wider. If you're headed upslope, they've become a better avenue than salmoning up the road. I haven't seen any "Watch for bikes signs", though.ReplyDelete
After years of going up the wrong way, I've switched over to the sidewalks. Perhaps when the weather gets warmer and there are more pedestrians/tourists on my commute home, I'll switch back to the road, but for now, I'm with you on the path.

UPDATE – 6.18pm CST: There is some debate going on in the comments about the way Google Trends functions, with individuals questioning the evidence that our key terms were deliberately removed. As we made clear on the Alex Jones show today, the terms 'Google spies', and 'Obama deception censored', from the previous day, were "volcanic" – that means hundreds of thousands, if not millions, were searching the terms, sending them to number one on the charts. While other terms remain in the top 20 all day, our terms were completely erased and memory holed within 30 minutes.
At time of writing, the term Alex asked users to search on today's show 'Google Launches Cover Up' remains in the top 10 trends, a full six hours after he made the announcement, indicating that Google has not repeated its previous actions of completely removing the term almost immediately.
Censorship ongoing, the free internet is under sustained attack
Steve Watson
Tuesday, Jul 20th, 2010
The ongoing saga with Google censorship has continued today as it emerged that once again the search engine giant removed a key term from it's trends pages.
Alex Jones yesterday asked his readers and listeners to send the term 'Google spies' to the top of the trends charts in the latest effort to fight back against the company's censorship of his films on YouTube.
The term related to a story we prepared detailing how Google is intimately linked with U.S. intelligence and has a history of censorship and surveillance.
Within a short time the term had hit the top spot with the "volcanic" status added (see below – click for enlargement).
As you can see, the effect of the term being pushed to the top of the trends charts is that bloggers and journalists pick up the story and begin to document it. A snowball effect ensues and millions of people all over the world are more likely to be directed toward the story.
However, within half an hour the term had been completely removed by Google and resulted in no news story links. These actions replicated Google's activity in the days beforehand when it removed other terms such as 'The Obama Deception', 'Infowars', 'Fall of the Republic' and 'Google Censorship' – which had all become some of the most searched topics on the internet.
This is the epicentre of the infowar. Events over the past couple of days have shown that you, our readers, have the power to take the issues we cover and literally make them the widest read items on the internet.
Today we urge you to search the term 'Google Launches Cover Up' to make this article one of the most widely read on the internet.
Top Secret America
In the week that the Washington Post published it's 'Top Secret America' piece, a two year study that reveals how the intelligence community has explosively expanded, there is an increased focus on the spook networks in the U.S. and the implications for that has for liberty.
Below is a set of links to previous articles we have produced intricately detailing how Google is intrinsically tied to the U.S. government intelligence apparatus and how there is a huge ongoing coordinated program of attack on the open internet being conducted by the shadow government and its mega corporation bedfellows:

This is coming from the Army's website of pre-packaged videos for the media to pick up.
It's all well and good to be respectful of fallen soldiers, and to embrace diversity among the religious preferences. But to brag about the fact that you brought the first Torah Scroll into a Muslim nation? Probably not a good idea.
This is one time that I hope they just remove the video, before some Islamic fundamentalists get a hold of it. Usually, I'd suggest they 'keep the evidence' etc. But this time… yikes! Please take this shit down!Also, it's probably a bit offensive to practicing Jews too when they mis-spelled Torah a few times. ('Torrah' appears in the description, and on the website). This document is actually kind of cool. I'd like to see the Army prominently display it in a more appropriate location. Or perhaps, donate it to a museum, or Jewish veteran's group.
This probably shouldn't have happened in the first place, but how could they greenlight a story about it? Let's pick our battles folks. This short video could cause actually cause some battles, or damage international relations.

Bugno Convicted
AFP is reporting that Gianni Bugno, the 1991 and 1992 world champion, has been given a suspended six-month jail term for possessing banned stimulant drugs.
Bugno was also fined 5,000 Euros for buying amphetamines.
The offence took place in Belgium in 1999 at the Three Days of De Panne when a parcel containing the banned drugs destined for Bugno was intercepted by police.
Bugno was a Mapei team director then but no Mapei riders were implicated.

This Review of Venice, Italy, offers a comprehensive assessment of the city-region's economy and the extent to which its land use, labour market and environmental policies embrace a metropolitan vision.
A new understanding of the provinces of Padua, Treviso and Venice as an interconnected city-region of 2.6 million people guides this study. Venice ranks as among the most dynamic and productive city-regions in the OECD, with high employment levels and growth rates.
Though it has thrived on a model of small firms and industrial clusters, it is undergoing a deep economic transformation. Venice confronts growing environmental challenges as a result of rising traffic congestion and costly infrastructure pressures, exacerbated by sprawl. Demographics are also changing, due to ageing inhabitants, immigrant settlement and the rapid depopulation of the historic city of Venice.
Metropolitan economic trends are reviewed and benchmarked, including GDP per capita, labour productivity growth, participation rates, patenting, employment and unemployment rates.
Labour markets seem to work at least as effectively as the average metro-region in the OECD. Employment rates are close to the average and close to performance in Brussels, Vienna or Seoul.
In contrast, as the figure below demonstrates, unemployment rates are among the lowest in OECD metro-regions. Venice's unemployment rate is lower than richer regions such as San Diego, Melbourne, Phoenix, Tokyo or Washington DC.
Source: OECD Metropolitan Database
"A perception of this region could be that of a territory where business life may mix with pleasure and vice versa....During the past three decades the success of the Veneto Region in industry and tourism activities has attracted a large quantity of all kind of workers....Venice attracts thousand of tourists every year just with some of the main well known attractions...These incomparable cultural assets are advantages for the regional brand." Sara Topelson de Grinberg, Ministry of Social Development (SEDESOL), Mexico
"Continuing to talk about water but starting with the discussion on climate change, let me pay tribute to the huge works that you are conducting in terms of the barrier system (Mose project). ....The challenge for the Venice Authorities is to create synergies in the different levels of planning to achieve the full integration of the planning processes on land use, water management and permitting of economic activities." Pedro Liberato, Permanent Delegation of Portugal to the OECD
"In strikes me in looking over the Review, that among the primary needs of Venice, that education and workforce development really seem to be at the heart of the needs of the region and this of course is not uncommon across the member nations here.... The importance of developing links between universities and the private sector cannot be emphasised enough." Dennis Alvord, US Department of Commerce

"Veneto's economy benefits from a high concentration of small and medium-sized enterprises, which are often geared towards export. However, the large share of micro-enterprises will be increasingly a challenge as companies have to compete more and more on a global scale. Many SMEs have not been able to promote a significant process of technological modernization and innovation, particularly with respect to marketing, and their efforts to interact with universities and research centres have been quite low. Malte Bornkamm, Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology

"This excellent review, which comprehensively describes the challenges Venice faces....Adaptation to climate change is a very serious problem and vital for Venice. We would be grateful to continuously share our knowledge and experience with you in order to tackle climate change." Takeshi Abe, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Japan
"Venice shares many of the problems that inevitably confront other cities throughout the OECD, such as immigrant assimilation, an ageing population, and vulnerability to flooding....Venice is entering a new metropolitan era." Michael Donovan, OECD Urban Development Unit, Coordinator for the Venice City Region Review
Assessment and recommendations
This chapter assesses the competitiveness of the Venice city-region, defined as the totality of the provinces of Venice, Padua, and Treviso along with the 550 square-kilometre Venice Lagoon. A historical section reviews how the Venice city-region has evolved towards a polynodal area composed of a series of connected small towns, rural areas and the cities of Padua, Treviso and Venice.
The economic potency of the Venice city-region derives from its unique combination of unusually strong local communities and an outward-looking, export-oriented economic system. The industrial district model has been highly adaptive and this chapter recommends that policy makers capitalise on its entrepreneurism, flexibility and cosmopolitanism, by confronting three cardinal challenges.
This chapter both provides an overview of the main politico-hydrological challenges faced in the Venice city-region and proposes key recommendations for improving water governance.
This chapter identifies and analyses the factors involved in the most appropriate and effective multi-level governance structure for the Venice city-region.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The nation has snapped back to its pre-recession self in terms of total employment, according to job numbers released last week.
Now there's about 138,780,000 jobs filled in the country, the number the United States had when the recession began back in December 2007.
But a curious thing has happened: Men now fill fewer positions than they did before the recession.
To put it another way, although men still occupy more jobs than women overall, today women make up a larger portion of the workforce than they did before the economic downturn. At the start of the recession men held 3.2 million more jobs than women, but that gap has narrowed with men holding 1.6 million more jobs than women.
And the reason for this, oddly enough, is largely based on traditional gender roles.
"This phenomenon is due to job segregation in the labor market by gender. Half of women and men tend to be in jobs dominated by their gender," said Heidi Hartmann, president of the Institute for Women's Policy. "At the beginning, this recession was a man-cession – they lost more jobs rapidly."
According to an IWPP analysis of recent Bureau of Labor Statistics employment numbers, men are still about 582,000 jobs short of their pre-recession peak. Women on the other hand, hit their pre-recession levels in September of last year.
The jobs traditionally occupied by women simply weren't hurt as much by the economy as the jobs typically occupied by men, according to Hartmann.
"One of the sectors that's very strong for women is health care — for women it was part of the reason why their unemployment never fell as much as men, there was always something going on good for them. Health care and private education," she said.
Hartmann says that the Affordable Care Act rollout also helped women keep their jobs in health care because the new law resulted in an influx of money into that field.
In contrast, roles typically occupied by men, such as construction and manufacturing, tanked when the private sector had to cut costs when consumers stopped buying.
Those sectors still are two of the hardest hit.
Some believe the BLS numbers may be signaling a permanent shift of the economy that favors women.
"The recession is over-laid with long-term trends," Donald Parsons, an economics professor at George Washington University, said. "Women had disproportionately high unemployment rates 50 years ago and that was largely because they had more temporary jobs. … So there's been a long-term trend converging from women having largely high unemployment rates to more or less equality."
Parsons has an additional theory for why women may continue to occupy employment roles with more stability: education.
It's no secret that women continue to outpace men in college — both in the number of women accepted into colleges and the number of women who graduate with degrees. According to a 2014 BLS study, 32 percent of 27-year-old women had received a bachelor's degree, compared with 24 percent of men.
"There is a disproportionally lower unemployment rate the higher up you go in education categories," he said. "The economy is cruel to the less educated and women are becoming a larger and larger chunk of the educated class."
Yet, there is optimism that men's job numbers will eventually catch up to previous levels as the real estate market picks up and other employment sectors, like services, increase.
But Hartmann thinks it's too early to draw conclusions.
"It's still too soon to tell how much construction and manufacturing it will take to restore men's small numeric edge," she said. "We're still waiting to see how those traditional sectors where men work will fully or completely recover."

Build 0.57 (with Water Condensers) as of 13:30 10/Sep/16.
OS Win 7 64 bit Ultimate.
Dxdiag and Console Log file attached. (Highlighted any lines in the console log that showed errors)
Problem - Other and balance issue
Colonists are still repeating actions.
Any game I start, the colonists will get to a stage where they seem to get stuck in a loop of repeating the same actions again and again.
Some get stuck using the medical scanner, others get stuck sleeping/waking. You may need a check put into each colonists work list to make sure they are not repeating a previous action.
Also, obviously injured (Limping & holding side) colonists are not going to medical ASAP when it is available.
If/when they do go to medical, the scanner has in some cases shown them as being healthy even when the updates for that colonists says they have hurt themselves.
I'm also still having colonists die due to dehydration or starvation even when food and water are available.
Even when I have marked items to have priority in the build queue, colonists are ignoring them and just repeating actions or building other items that are not priority items.
Balance Issue
You may have confused Calories and Kilojoules. The average DAILY intake of Kilojoules is approximately 8700kJ according to this site. http://www.mydailyintake.net/daily-intake-levels/
You have the colonists eating 6000kJ each time they get food/rations. If they are eating that much extra energy, they should be blowing up like blimps.
Each colonist should be eating three meals a day of around 2900kJ not two to three times a day at 6000kJ.

Re: Bugs in colonists actions
+1. My colonists have an active, prioritized order to build a wind turbine, which they will need for atmosphere and heat. Instead they run into my empty living area and perform an emotion or sometimes sit down on the floor. They eventually die of hypothermia. They seem to respond to indoor build orders. Do they have a state where they just don't want to go outside?

Thousands of traffic enforcers struggle grimly to keep the Philippine capital's notoriously gridlocked roads moving every day, but Ramiro Hinojas does it with a smile and a little help from Michael Jackson.
Rain or shine, seven days a week, the diminutive 55-year-old stands in the middle of one of Manila's major intersections, and to the cacophony of roaring engines, puts on an elaborate dance show as he deftly guides the traffic flow.
The struts and footwork may have been copied from the King of Pop, Hinojas' deceased US idol, but the flare and passion by which he mixes them with hand signals to direct amused motorists are uniquely his own.
His sleek moves, which appear on Youtube, have made him a minor celebrity and a champion for the country's lowly paid -traffic force, which is faced with the impossible task of trying to keep roads flowing freely.
"It gives me joy to see people happy while they're stuck in traffic, because I know how the rush hour can make anyone crazy," Hinojas told a reporter in between breaks at the main junction in Manila's Macapagal Boulevard.
The father of three has been adding even more spice to his routine this month, dressing up in a Santa Claus outfit to help motorists cruise into the Christmas season.
One of 16 children from an impoverished family in the central Philippines, Hinojas came to live in the chaotic slums of Manila as a boy.
He found his calling as a traffic enforcer about a decade ago when he was laid off from his previous job as a security guard.
Hinojas said he decided to -introduce the dance routines in an effort to get motorists to take notice and follow his instructions.
"So I picked up the dance moves of Michael Jackson, and adapted them for my routine," he said.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), the agency that oversees traffic management in the megacity of 12 million, said it employed about 2,000 full-time enforcers.
However, the number could run into the many thousands, because various districts where the MMDA does not operate also deputize their own traffic volunteers. Hinojas is one of those deputies, and easily the most flamboyant.
With their blue or green uniforms, the enforcers crowd small and big intersections even when there are perfectly working traffic lights, ready to pounce on erring speedsters who ignore the signals.
They are supposed to help out when traffic lights fail, or when perennial floods render areas impassable.
However, because some roads are so densely packed and slow moving, vehicles often get caught by the red light in the middle of the junction, meaning the enforcers have to take over the chaotic road management.
MMDA spokeswoman Alu Dorotan said that apart from being exposed to terrible pollution, traffic enforcers sometimes fall victim to "road rage," partly because they have the power to issue motorists' fines for traffic violations.
At least two have been wounded in gun attacks by drivers since September, the MMDA said.
The assailants in both instances have been caught and charged in court, but in a country where unlicensed firearms proliferate and where rights groups complain of a culture of impunity, Dorotan said more attacks were likely.
"Other constables have been punched and verbally abused in scenarios that could have turned worse," Dorotan said.
Hinojas said his dance routines were precisely meant to relieve those kinds of tensions, and entertained commuters often show their appreciation by honking their horns as he wriggles his bottom and pirouettes to pull in oncoming traffic.

If you live in the UK you need to watch River Cottage because there's a hot babe in it – no, not Hugh Fearnly Whittenstall. Gill!
Gill is Hugh's headchef apparently:
My aunt once said, years ago, that she would write in to the show to tell them that her niece "really fancies Gill", like a parent trying to wrangle the best prize at the raffle for her child.
Gillon Meller, Head Chef, River Cottage HQ
Before joining Hugh to set up River Cottage HQ, Gillon had set up his own catering business with the help of the Princes Trust, providing clients with access to great local and seasonal cookery.
After meeting Hugh, Gill started working on the River Cottage series and simultaneously became involved in the running of the cookery school and the River Cottage HQ. Gill is now Head Chef and leads a team who produce the highest standard of local and seasonal food.
Who wants to go on a cookery course with me?!

Things are bad for Lance Armstrong these days. Marketing wizards have been trying to find out just how bad and the answer is "extremely."
At the height of Lance's popularity - June 2008 - the Tour de France phenom was as appealing as Ron Howard. In February, he was still on par with Justin Timberlake. Now he's ranked 2,192 (out of 2,500 celebrities tracked by the Dallas agency) on par with Michael Bolton.
Now, we're just going to have accept that in 2008 we lived in a world where Justin Timberlake was a "5" on the scale of "What are awesome things" with Ron Howard inexplicably being a 10 and Michael Bolton assuming his usual role of pop culture punching bag.
But what about trustworthiness? "People trust him about as much as they do Paula Abdul." Huh. Seems strange.
Oh, oh. He's been telling lies.

I am not an overly paranoid person.
Why, have you heard otherwise? And who told you?
Never mind, I'll just move on to my main point, which is that I have never understood the deep mistrust of the U.S. Census. I've written about this before.
Apparently, a noticeable segment of the population is terrified that filing out this form will allow the government to stick them in internment camps, Christopher Lambert style (and yes, displaying a clip from "Fortress" is officially the most obscure pop culture reference to date on this site):
In any case, it seems that right-wing nuts aren't the only ones who believe the Census is all a plot… a slow-moving, bureaucratic, cumbersome, and tedious plot, but a dastardly scheme nonetheless.
According to the Pew Hispanic Center, just 57 percent of native-born Latinos believe that census participation is good for their community. This means a large number of Hispanics distrust, or at least dislike, the Constitutionally mandated exercise.
Strangely enough, it is foreign-born Latinos, many of whom may not even be citizens, who are more accepting of the process. The Pew Hispanic Center says 80 percent of them believe the Census is a good idea, adding that "the foreign born are also more likely to correctly say that the census cannot be used to determine who is in the country legally [and] more likely to trust the Census Bureau to keep their personal information confidential" than Latinos born in America.
Once again, this proves that assimilation is definitely taking place. Just as foreign-born Latinos tend to get obese and unhealthy the longer they live in the United States, so are their offspring more likely to turn into government-hating paranoids who can't be bothered with facts. So to everyone who says Hispanics can't assimilate – in your face!
But aside from the inherent hatred that the Census provokes, there is also the messy racial element on the form itself. As many people have pointed out, the form does not list Hispanics as a race. Instead, we are an ethnicity.
This is because, as I've stated before, Hispanics may be of any race. We can be light-skinned, brown-hued, or as dark as any African American (although Torii Hunter might say such individuals are imposters).
However, to say that we are not a separate race has adverse consequences. It's very easy to find a Latino who is annoyed that he's being forced to pick "white" or "black" for his race. This irritation is not unjustified.
Furthermore, with distrust of the Census so high, an unnecessary racial jab is not the way to increase Hispanic participation. It's also an ineffective sidestep. For example, Time magazine reports that "more than 40 percent of Hispanics, when asked on the Census form in 2000 to register white or black as their race, wrote in 'Other' — and they represented 95 percent of the 15.3 million people in the U.S. who did so."
I can personally back up this fact. Last week, when I filled out the Census for our household, I checked Hispanic for my ethnicity. But I was stumped over what to mark for race. Strictly speaking, white is my closest option. But I checked "Other" and then wrote in "Hispanic" in the space provided to explain this otherness. This wasn't a political act. It just seemed to make the most sense at the time.
However, in retrospect, my answer was, at the very least, redundant. Why write in "Hispanic" when I had already checked it off on the ethnicity box? More interestingly, I was now insisting that "Hispanic" is a race and not just an ethnicity. Did I really mean to do that? Perhaps I should have thought it out better. But images of "Fortress" were playing through my head, and I panicked.
So maybe critics are right to say that we should do away with the whole sloppy system of assessing the racial makeup of this country. Even President Obama had to make a stand when confronted with the Census' limited options. Witness all the tittering and twittering that accompanied his decision to checkmark the box that says "Black, African Am., or Negro."
It's clearly not so easy anymore to stick people into fixed racial categories. And it's only going to get crazier as each generation becomes increasingly mixed and mingled.
I have to wonder what the options will be for the 2100 Census. Regardless, I'm sure plenty of Americans will fear and hate it.

Department of Justice
Richard Schmidt
Federal agents are trying to determine how a suspected Ohio white supremacist with a felony conviction for manslaughter acquired a cache of 18 assault weapons and other firearms, along with high-capacity magazines and more than 40,000 rounds of ammunition, according to federal law enforcement officials and court documents reviewed by NBC News.
The storehouse of weapons was discovered late last month when FBI agents arrested Richard Schmidt, 47, the owner of a Bowling Green sporting goods store called Spindletop Sports Zone, on charges of marketing counterfeit goods -- such as football jerseys with NFL logos -- from China.
Although initially portrayed as a probe into the thriving international market for counterfeit clothing, the case took a surprising turn this week when the U.S. Attorney's Office in Cleveland unsealed search warrants and an indictment also charging Schmidt with illegal possession of firearms.
According to the documents, FBI agents who searched Schmidt's sporting goods store and four trailers behind it, found a stash of weapons that included AR-15 assault rifles, Ruger and Sig Sauer semi-automatic pistols, bulletproof body armor and high-capacity magazines as well as ammunition.
The agents also discovered evidence of Schmidt's ties to the neo-Nazi movement, documents show. Among the evidence seized, according to search warrants, was a video of a national convention of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement; bumper stickers of the National Alliance party, another neo-Nazi group; a "Jewish 500" list -- a supposed roster of Jewish-owned businesses -- and paraphernalia from the "Waffen SS," Adolph Hitler's Nazi military force in Germany from the early 1930s through World War II, according to the search warrants.
A federal law enforcement official, who spoke with NBC News on condition of anonymity, said that FBI counterterrorism agents involved in the case had picked up evidence that Schmidt may have been planning attacks against Jewish and civil rights groups in the Detroit area. "This is an active investigation," said another federal law enforcement official when asked if Schmidt was believed to have been working with any others in the neo-Nazi movement.
In the indictment unsealed this week, Schmidt was charged with three counts of illegal possession of firearms, ammunition and body armor and one count of trafficking in counterfeit goods.
Schmidt's lawyer, federal public defender Andy Hart, did not respond to a request for comment.
The law enforcement officials said the case appears to illustrate some of the gaps in current background checks for gun purchasers that President Barack Obama has proposed closing as part of his package of executive actions and legislative proposals released this week aimed at curbing gun violence. Schmidt was charged with murder and felonious assault in 1989 after killing a Hispanic man and shooting two others with a semi-automatic pistol during a traffic dispute. He later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 10 to 25 years in prison. Federal officials were not immediately able to provide information on when he was released from prison.
Despite a federal law that prohibits convicted felons from buying firearms, Schmidt was still able to acquire his stockpile – though authorities don't yet know how he acquired them. Federal agents have been trying for weeks to trace the weapons, but officials said they have so far made little progress. This could indicate that Schmidt purchased his weapons from private dealers or gun shows, where background checks are currently not required, one official said. But he also could have obtained them on the black market.
"It is deeply troubling that law enforcement found this man, with a prior homicide conviction, in possession of an arsenal," said Steven M. Dettelbach, the U.S. attorney for Cleveland.
NBC/WSJ poll: Public lowers expectation for Obama's second term
Mark Potok, who tracks hate groups for the Southern Poverty Law Center, said the group had found an entry that appeared to be from Schmidt on a neo-Nazi website several years ago, using the Yahoo profile of "Vinlander 101" and declaring his plans to set up a "historical preservation" group. (One of the trailers behind Schmidt's sporting goods store was registered to the "Vinland Preservation League" -- a now defunct nonprofit.) He noted that the use of the word "Vinland" was likely inspired by the "Vinland Social Club," a now largely dormant neo-Nazi skinhead group that emphasized the early Vikings role in colonizing the American continent.
"The sad reality is there are people around this country who are building up enormous arsenals of weapons because they think the end is coming -- either a race war, or the new world order … or some other form of apocalypse," he said.
