They say there are no coincidences... On October-19-2008 I gave my first sign of life here. Pretty people, plenty of fun and a lot of good music I found here. To this day I don't know for what reason I creeping stopped my activities here... but now I miss the atmosphere, the warmth and the fun of this community. They say there are no coincidences... Today is October-19-2020 and I'm back. Regards from Austria |

The tortured was, shackled on hands or within a cage on a rope launched to water (sea, river harbor) again and again so that he couldn't breath less or longer time. This was made by using a crane frame. Every time he was lifted above the water there was the ability to admit something. If he didn't he was launched again. weightsTorture or execution. The tortured was laid on a table and strapped down. On his chest was placed a plank. Oin this plank was laid heavy weights, those took him the breath. If the tortured didn't admit was put more and more weights on the plank – until the chest broke. to broilTorture or execution. The tortured was affixed above a fire place in a kind (eighter erectly fixed by a picket or layed on a frame) that you could ingnite a small fire below his feet. The feet lubed up by grease and the fire ignited. First burned up the skin on the feet until the substance was visibly. The smell of the own burned substance ingressed into the nose of the tortured. The torture could take so long until the feet-bones was visibly. Ingo |

Hi flora,
good watch... Russia is one of the countries they have avoided harsher measures against NKorea for a long time. But also the Chinese aren't really interested in a change of the relative strength on the Korean peninsula. I think all participants will mediate a kind of truce again and Kim will stop his nuclear upgrade for a while - against payment by a lot of cash and relief supplies. You can say about Kim what you want, but I think he isn't so crazy to pick a quarrel. Far from it! I believe devoutly that he's calculating very exactly what he can do and what he better shouldn't do currrently. Already for a long time the Kim-dynasty play a weird game - and as yet they won again and again...

Most of the time I feel (relativly) young and well, but there are days I realize that I'm actually already a honourable member of "Mature people club". Today is one of these days. I celebrated the 21st anniversary of my marriage today. My wife was very happy, that didn't forget the date in this year... After a such long time too I have to admit: We both did a good choice together...

Hi flora, you're welcome. But I don't think to have great plans - I only try to live consequently a way of life, I accept my responsibility for the next generations. And in my opinion this resonsibility doesn't start in any great projects to save the polar bears, the oceans, the world or what ever, but in very "small" things within the own house and outside the own door. I have to make sure that my children and their children come upon a worth living environment. I have a treaty with the following generations. My dwell time here is defined and I don't realize that my children have to remove my own waste... I don't speak here about abdication but to think about a useful and responsible handling our ressources and a lot of (alleged) little things, which everybody could do.
Best regards
