Watch out before seven! (Daily Mirror)

Watch out before the screening!
still 32 days until the Olympics. Trouble-Ling trained today:
counting numbers are listed in China with Arabic numerals, just like us. For the appropriate eye-seeking Westerners for the first time this has something reassuring: in foreign characters flooding the Number of the home port.

To hear the similarities, but on already. The differences start with simple things like choosing a cell phone number. Insistently warned my Chinese friends that I should avoid fours and sevens absolutely! Both promise disaster: The Chinese word for four (si, stresses falling) is the word for "death" too similar (si, fluctuating stresses), while seven (high q) (qi falling) to "rage" sounds.

Shy I argued that my problem was more that I have the words for four-and seven-could hardly be distinguished from the words for eighteen, meltdown and dentures. Brusquely I was accused of levity: "I used to have bad luck for a year because of a poor cell phone number," assured one. was freed from the evil of him until his father, an expert sinologist, who exposed the calamity number using the "Yijing", an ancient Chinese oracle book. I was assured that I was not this advanced methodology must learn essential - access but I should spend some sixes (falling liu), the "smoothness" promise (falling shun), and the Chinese lucky number par excellence of Eight (high ba), the "wealth" promise (high fa). Paying for a number with more careful Chinese people like a few hundred euros.

It dawned on me why the great Olympic Clock in Tiananmen Square zutickt inexorably to the date 8.8.2008, 08:08:08 Clock. sound for Chinese ears, the opening date of the Olympic games similar euphoric as the German phrase "six correct plus bonus number".

order in the phone shop just so nothing went wrong, my friends brought me in how to count by hand - although not the number of fingers is crucial, but the imitation of the characters. The Lucky Eight looks like a European Two: abducted thumb and index finger. The smooth six meets the gesture with which is symbolized in the West, a phone conversation, but are held up at the death of all four fingers except the thumb. The rather complicated anger Seven finally looks a bit like the finger attitude with which one projects the shadow play an ostrich on the wall.

In the "China Mobile" store I put a pert saleswoman from various numbers to choose from, where it from four to seven teeming, while eight were missing altogether, and iguanas were few and far between. I wanted my anger to express, was not able to the Chinese word for "anger" but remember, even the similar-sounding "Seven" had slipped. So I showed the seller, the ostrich-like gesture. This has been strangely misunderstood: I received a cell phone number with a particularly high number sevens. For weeks, my giggling friends as soon as I called her.

was a protest against the degradation of a German press representative by a Chinese state company as the opening date for this column, up to 8 8. regularly on the cultural side, appears the 7th 7. elected!

The Great Chairman
still 27 days until the Olympics. Trouble-Ling trained today: Maoism

His body floats in a murky formaldehyde aquarium. Before the glass case shall the people police the flow of visitors in two processions, file past the left and right of Mao. In the chord as the Chinese down plastic yellow carnations, which migrate at night back in the stalls at the mausoleum input. The founding father of Chinese communism is dead around it circulates an economic perpetual motion machine. Is capitalism so now.

The party says: Mao was 70 percent correct and 30 percent wrong. Immediately after the death of the Great Chairman issued this ideological change of course, Mao officially listed the same today. 70 to 30: What does this say about the Chinese bank notes, which are still wearing Mao's portrait. This is probably the reason why the Chinese always check their bills so skeptical. A fake 100-yuan bill will be in Beijing with 70 percent probability ignore. He can turn on more than the foreigners, may differ from those of more than 30 percent a genuine from a false Mao.

A French gallery owner in Beijing 's trendy "798" says she was recently forced by the police, an irreverent portrait of Mao to hang loose. It tells the story, laughing, almost flirtatious. Every third gallery sold in the quarter unhindered Mao's portrait, now in brightly colored Andy Warhol-style, sometimes as ironic Cola sign, in the heroic times of the cultural revolutionary. The Western collectors, they say, buy the stuff like crazy. The tourists anyway. In the backpacker district attracts every evening an aged Chinese from hostel to hostel and sold MaoMemorabilia. "Look a-, a-look," he says. "Mao book-a! Mao-a clock! Mao shirt-a! "People tear him the stuff out of the hands. Mao sells.

American financial policy-makers believe the Chinese Yuan is massively undervalued, some speak of up to 30 percent. I think Mao contrast to 70 percent überbewertet.Am 7th July-Ling trained trouble counting, the next he learns how to apologize Chinese.

secrets of married life
Another 25 days until the Olympics. Ling trouble trained today: Excuse me.

Until the late 1920s at the entrance to Huangpu Park in British-colonized Shanghai hung a sign, the dogs and the Chinese forbade access - in that order. Nearly a century later

. In Beijing's Zhongshan Park is middle of a crowd, an older Chinese with a dog. He is angry. Those around him try to calm the man. It does not help, he lets his anger run wild. "Foreigners," he cries, "have no place to park in China!"

two horror stories, nothing connects - Grusel.Vorausgegangen except history is the rage of the man, a search in the Zhongshan Park, where Chinese twice a week Parents meet to bring their unmarried children under the hood. The search runs surprisingly straightforward, the parents willingly give information, about 30 men and women jostle formally to the German Journalists, his Chinese translator and his German wife. Everyone wants to make a comment on their part, many curious questions: where you come from because if life there is very different, as if you have a wife at home, or maybe not here wanted to meet a nice Chinese girl. Special interest for the people, such as does a marriage between a Chinese and a foreigner, many ask the translator if he could recommend this.

Until suddenly an elderly man who had previously kept silent his dog on a leash, to murmur to himself, begins to look quietly at first, and without someone, then louder and louder. Retrieved from "secret" talks he, over which one should talk to foreigners, because we do not know what the strangers start it. Despite all attempts at appeasement, the man speaks in a rage, his anger is directed especially against the Chinese translator, he has repeatedly threatened with his finger: what occur to him, tell secrets to China! Punished he belonged that he had married a stranger! To most onlookers, the incident clearly uncomfortable asking the foreigners they mean to go on and not to heed the clamor.

come later several people from the group of foreigners in the park after run to upset to apologize for the incident. One should not it To give them say they would find himself right and proper that they could talk to foreigners about everything today, actually liked the all Chinese, the man was an exception, it is very ashamed for him.

Has Europe ever apologized for the sign at Huangpu Park?

still 22 days until the Olympics. Trouble-Ling trained today: his stomach.
time would there be no going back. My Chinese friends had long been brooding over the menu, and their eyes were not tested since escaped me. Fatalism I stared at the tank in the middle of the Restaurant table, it's in the already simmering Höllensud of Sichuan Province. How often had

I declined with thanks, if I was to demonstrate China's culinary riches, how many times I had turned down when dog hearts and minds geese were praised? But today I would not chicken out, which would be accessible on the table. This was initially a plate coarsely chopped bullfrogs, which emptied the waiter unceremoniously into the boiling cauldron. Me somewhat curious looks when I dipped the swab into the broth and put a slippery frog half on land. As I'm long-limbed foreign body checking touched with the tongue, I tried, I say no irritation to leave. Cracking was a bullfrog spinal column after the awkward pressure of my back teeth. I smiled and praised the flavor and consistency of the court. Meanwhile

had emptied a dish the waiter indefinable meat scraps into the boiler. I understood "roof chin," I stressed to the type of casual dining asked. "Dog skin?" I insisted. "Skin Duck", clarified my friends. Duck skin. There are worse things. The next menu item for example: a shallow dish filled with a dark red mass that wobbled when cutting disgusting. Fortunately, stacked little pig's blood taste. In the further course of the meal - where I only sheep's stomach and chicken brain could be clearly assigned - I asked equanimity under proof, and I almost wanted to believe that my friends ran out of ideas. Just at that moment was but the waiter approached a record, the secret was hidden under a voluminous Servierhaube. When she was released, I gasped. "Is that what I think it?" I asked coldly. Before my eyes was a huge cattle penis.

The waiter made as if to zersäbeln to the genitals in bite-sized slices. A biting deputy pain drove me to the sweat on his forehead, clearly, I felt that here, a threshold was reached, beyond which I would not be possible. Rush I was looking for excuses: Could I say, my religion prohibits the consumption of genitals? But what a religion should be? Freudian-Orthodox? Genital pietistic? Oedipal-clerical?

told Meanwhile, one of my table mates that he had previously worked in a small restaurant in the province, where the local party cadres had eaten on special occasions like Rinderpenisse. Since this delicacy was prepared only on request, had in the fridge next to each other sometimes several handiwork stored, bearing labels that have the name of each purchaser stated: 'Party Secretary Wu "," mayor Li "and so on. Then I was overwhelmed by an epochal hiccup.

This in turn frightened my friends so much that they forbade me the next meal. I am convinced that my disappointment had credible.

T for Tibet (Tagesspiegel)

T for Tibet
Only 18 days until Olympia: trouble-Ling trained today: Propaganda
If you want to experience time as an otherwise amiable Chinese poison and bile spitting, you simply mention the T-word. Whispers presents: "Tibet". Almost every Chinese person will immediately get defensive, trumpeted the achievements of China's Tibet policy praise the Dalai Lama scold a CIA agent and blame the Westerners a distorted Tibet picture - even before the Westerner has ever placed on the subject. mention

If you want to do the same times as transform otherwise reasonable in German kitschbekiffte ethno-fundamentalists, you also just the T-word. Also works fairly reliably. A Chinese friend told me recently that he was in Germany several times of colorfully dressed him completely unknown people as a representative been a genocidal regime reviled - even before he had taken a position on Tibet at all.

is in Beijing Cultural Palace of Nationalities is currently a large Tibetan exhibition. It is divided into two parts: the "old" and "new" Tibet, before and after the Communist affiliation. The old Tibet is pull a feudal slave society, whose theocratic rulers clique political prisoner leaves the skin. The new Tibet is a prosperous region of China, whose people "in anticipation of an even better future, sing and dance," as it is cloaked beneath a photo folkloric peasant. Amazingly

is consistently the defensive attitude of the propaganda show. Each exhibit acts here as a defiant challenge to the Tibet-image as circulating since the riots in March this year in the West. Some had shown even the potential for clarifying dialogue - if it were not presented so unspeakably ideological.

other hand, Germany's amateur Tibetans romanticize the pre-Communist China's feudal era and inevitable modernization services turn into "cultural genocide". This too is of history. One must only look at once the German-Tibet entry on Wikipedia and the associated editorial history. As a self-proclaimed spirit Police clear mercilessly with dissenters auf.Beim leaving the Palace of Culture, an older Chinese to me speaking in English. "How would you rate the exhibition?" He asks. I hesitate. "A little biased," I say. "You're right," he replied smiling, "but not quite as partisan as the Western view of Tibet, right?" Again, I hesitate. "But," I say then, "another partisan". The man nods. "You have the right to your opinion." Then he left me.

we have to be the Chinese that they know better than our prejudices we theirs.

only 11 days until the Olympics. Trouble-Ling trained today: Cycling.
Man likes to say, China stand with one foot in the 19th and in the other 21st Century. At many can this Spagatmetapher fix: weathered tile roofs beside the sparkling skyscrapers, horse-drawn carts, laden with towering flat-screen televisions, KFC and Confucius, Marx, and McDonald's.

not missing, in such lists, the omnipresent bicycles like in contrast to the Transrapid in Shanghai will set the fastest passenger train in the world. Completely unjustified the bike in such images for coaster brake of the Chinese modernization is stylized - although it was the Chinese of all transportation is and will remain. China is on pedals. With both legs.

How else could you explain that in the exploding metropolis of Beijing madness meticulously even the most intricate transportation hub will be equipped with bicycle lanes? Several meters wide, these paths meander through tunnels under the road crossing through it, on stilts over highways away, sometimes even across the passenger flow through. Since I'm never coming over, thinks the foreigners when he first Time with the wheel in front of a ten-lane route is, the other side is blurred behind truck columns and Smogwolken glimpses is.

but it always comes through - as long as one considers a few simple ground rules, drawn from the bicycle-propelled Chinese socio-political traffic laws of his country. Go with the flow, is the first of its foreign exchange. May at first glance give the impression that in contemporary China are progressing, who ruthlessly as possible by squeezing himself so completely wrong closer look reveals this strategy. Who voranprescht embarks in danger. The same is true for those who are left behind. The wise cyclists nestles into the stream. Continuous is the ups and downs of his pedals, he never brake suddenly, he also avoiding hectic sprint. Only those who can drive the point of mediocrity bicycle caravan, which it will safely escort to their destination.

Second rule: The government is above the law. The cyclist poche not writing guaranteed rights where they conflict with verbal orders of authority figures. If the bike is red light, traffic guides is pushing but to proceed, so the result is to be done, anything else would be dangerous. The traffic is stupid, she knows only red and green - but the man is not a gray alien. Just for the omnipresent pilots are foreigners, with their bright red Chinese flags useful guidance. Who rolled up carelessly on a green light because he now plays at home is so used to immediately get the flag shown - and immediately know where they are: red, China, stop, not law, but China.

Third rule: the right of way is part of the mass. Who wants to turn left and cross a multilane car route must find like-minded people. First, if a critical mass of left turns happy is gathered, the intersection is taken, tire width for tires, pedal to pedal. By an angry sea of brand-end sheet metal forges then the two-wheel column inexorably their way, and who is part of such a triumphal procession, who inwardly rejoicing the swearing drivers' listen, sensing an indescribable feeling of joy rising within him: the power of the mass. We might now, says that feeling to continue rolling always so, and nothing can stop us. The concentrated forces of NATO, against 1.3 billion Chinese cyclist traveling they would be powerless.

insurance for pets

This one drives with a dog liability insurance for their pets on a very sensible and reasonable way is now certainly well known. However, so an insurance cover from just the damage from the dog themselves have done, that property damage or similar positions. However, if you bring your dog to the vet and have it dealt with there must, then this is not under the liability dogs. Without health insurance for their pet, all costs are borne by the owner. This can lead to the type of treatment from a simple vaccination to more complicated operations and massive financial problems.

But of course insurance companies are no friendly Samaritan and by various restrictions in the contracts clause and it is possible that in case of treatment of the animal and even a share of the costs must be taken. It is possible depending on the contract, a retention of 20% of a certain age limit. Also increased contributions in dogs to well over 40 € / month can range are not uncommon. In any case, be clarified that what diseases and situations not covered by insurance and. Often there are several so-called performance exclusions that the insurance company in certain cases not required to pay.

The potential of a health insurance pays for their pet can not be answered unequivocally. Due to high monthly fees and an additional deductible can be transmitted to also consider that one puts money for possible operations in the future aside and then in the event of illness the bill with the money itself to pay.
But if you think your dog is essential for all possible cases need to insure that may arise in the Internet at a rate calculator at the dogs compared liability (or a comparison for health insurance). Such insurance are meaningless in any case. Only sufficient funding could be a problem for financially disadvantaged.

go after three year break, Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain again with goo and vegetables each other off. On the Oberbaumbrücke hope to Kreuzberg to a historic victory. BY MARTIN express KAUL

Rotten Mettwürste about Total vegans, wash strangers with specially cultured supernatant hair, fed with moldy bread coverings the next man - all these are not a perverted fantasies. On Sunday from 12 on the clock there Oberbaumbrücke war. After three years of abstinence, the Berlin Ekelavantgarde upgraded again to the water fight.

are to clarify the territorial disputes over the sovereignty of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, the Berlin district with plans for local government reform end of the 90s took their output. Since then, claim the soldiers of both vegetables neighborhoods the total sovereignty on their own merits. Kreuzberg Friedrichshain applies as a Friedrichshain, Friedrichshain is reversed in the Orange Street just Ostkreuz mountain - both of course an expression of protest against the Berlin annexation policy.
");
It may it hard this year to the Kreuzberg brigades that were in the past struggles of the Kreuzberg Patriotic Democrats / Realistic Centre (CP / RZ) represented, and could also count on support from Neukölln after taz. information, the revolutionary-democratic ranks of the KPD / RZ gone now closed in the background. The successor Free Kreuzberg Homeland Security (FKH) has taken up the battle line.

also have declared their secession sympathizers of the former Neukölln. After years of solidarity fighting on the side of Kreuzberg Neukölln fruit processing, a minority now feels threatened by the "Yuppisierung" of the adjacent neighborhood - and plans to actively fight. On the last Sunday attacked the anti-dehydration League Neukölln (ADLN) the Kreuzberg already in Thiel bridge. For Sunday the ADLN has announced it will drop the Kreuzberg of the great battle on the Upper tree bridge in the back. That was not necessary, because due to the massive army presence of water Friedrichshain Army (WAF) were the diverse Kreuzberg alliances otherwise never won a victory in itself - even if the Kreuzberg septic veterans like to represent the different.

But despite battle-driven large district claims cherish both districts also gemeinschaflich separatist goals. Even with the hatred that separates the neighborhood parties, they united but a rebellious rejection of state authority: when the total Berlin police issued in the year 2004 obligations and wanted to prevent the bringing of plasticizers and missiles, flew the stink bombs, jellies and vegetables floors combined on the superior police officers. The result: a mess that brought the uniformed men to retreat - and the Chief of Police later a public surrender in Interior Committee compels. Since then, holds back the police and comments to the dutiful taz ". Our mission is to protect the announced rally"
So the police are not in too great a temptation gets to do offensively, the command bars have already announced their own actions: the first time it is missile controls and their own police officers enter the battle field, also to ensure that are really just soft and slippery materials used. At last it came sporadically to bottle throwing. Is allowed only water, flour - and everything is soft and slippery.

energy dwarf Russia (fr)

fuel and electricity prices
energy dwarf Russia
by Alexei Grigoriev and VLADIMIR Tschuprow

Russian coal miners (RTR)
In Russia, the share of renewable energies in final energy consumption less than two percent and will increase further over the next decade, not much difference. And even though Russia has no less potential for renewable energy sources as the EU or China. In almost all parts of Russia, there are three types of renewable energy sources that are used today economically efficient could be: wind energy, small hydro and biomass.

Overall, the amount of economically exploitable renewable energy sources in Russia is over 300 million tons of oil equivalent. This could be a third of Russia's primary energy needs are met. However, this potential is even according to optimistic estimates, only exhausted at seven percent, so that currently produces primary energy from renewable energy amounting to some 22 million tons of oil equivalent. In essence, these are the production of heat energy from biomass, in other words, to wood burning.

modern technologies in the combustion of biomass, as with other renewable energy used very little, although the Soviet Union in this area once stood at the forefront of technological development. , the market for wind turbines worldwide in 2006 by 32 percent - - Against the backdrop of the global boom in wind energy is particularly the decline of Russian power plant wind striking. ...

All decisions of the last 20 years, use more renewable energy in Russia and to increase energy efficiency, to see only very modest results. If there ever was an energy approaches to political change, they existed only on paper. All announcements that Russia was internationally - such as the Summit of G8 countries - Remained lip service. promote

The last attempt the development of renewable energy state, dates from 2002. The then adopted the "Energy Efficient Economy, themed including the energy supply of the Russian North.

It was for up to 2010 in those remote areas in the North, Siberia and the Far East, which are not connected to the central power and thermal power, solar powered electricity and thermal power plants with total capacity of 1000 megawatts build on current and 8200 megawatts thermal. Although the lion's share of the investment - 99 percent of the estimated seven trillion rubles - to should be subject to maintenance of nuclear power plants and the expansion of oil and gas production, at least the idea of using renewable energy sources had arisen.

But in 2005, the entire program paltry reasons set. Of course the government has announced a new program for renewable energies. But when this is adopted, is in the stars. The adoption of a long-announced energy-saving program will be postponed again and again, it is currently in 2010 to take effect. is

The reason for the backwardness of Russia in the use of renewable energies, therefore, usually called, that there is no law in promoting admit. Undoubtedly plays a role in all this. But the real question is: Why is there no such law?

Green Paper (pdf, 220 KB)
A significant factor is the large reserves of fossil fuels, natural gas, petroleum and coal. The Russian leadership sees no reason for energy policy change. Some see renewable energy sources even unwanted competition for Russia's fossil fuels, whose export is so important for the country. On the use of renewable energies, if any thought, when it comes to how the domestic consumption of petroleum and natural gas can be reduced to the revenue from the oil and gas exports to increase further.

addition, the days of the Soviet Union built large power stations have created a huge central supply capacity. For an energy policy path change is enormously complicated: The mighty atom and the coal industry and the operators of large hydropower plants are not interested in expanding renewable energy sources, but at the state subsidization of their sector. How successfully recruit these sectors by state funds, has until December 2007 again demonstrated when the government decided to promote the extraction of coal in a mine in the Republic of Tuva, with more than two billion U.S. dollars from investment funds.

Another less obvious reason for that failure, even small projects like the construction of combined wind-diesel plants to supply remote settlements in the far north is that of government transfer of funds and the corruption associated with them. The highly subsidized supplies to outposts in the Far North with energy is a field of systematic embezzlement and corruption. In preserving the status quo are a whole "informal" sector and the interest closely connected with the corrupt officials.

The prospects for renewable energy is so little rosy. Since late 2007, but there is a glimmer of hope. were thanks to the lobbying of the national electricity utility UES in the novel the Electricity Industry Act, which was whipped in the fall of 2007 by the Duma and the Federation Council, included some provisions that zielen.Grund was on the promotion of renewable energies for the haste in mid-2008 that UES is to be restructured. In the new law, renewable energy sources in at least four items are mentioned. This is a huge step forward, but dropped the word "renewable" as amended by the Act of 2003 not once, however, the state measures to promote renewable energy sources remain vague: in pursuance of Article 21 of the new version of the Act, the government- targets for the production and consumption of electricity from renewable energy sources and decide, Plans to achieve these objectives, and promotes the use of renewable energies, - establish criteria for the provision of subsidies from the state budget to the connection of power plants, which have a maximum capacity of 25 megawatts and be powered by renewable energies to the national grid to finance, - firm on the basis of the price of electricity on the wholesale market an extra remuneration for electricity from renewable energies and binding purchase quantities.

Since the government no guidance is given, at what time, how practical and how much it will promote renewable energy, the same calls for the development of renewable energy of a collection pious wishes. The only provision that requires the use of renewable energy specifically relates to losses in the electricity network, which the network companies have to compensate primarily by electricity from renewable energy sources. However, there are also many loopholes. Thus, with a government that has so far shown no inclination to promote the use of renewable energies in the new law might not have much to erwarten.Vollends the progress that has brought it, being lost, when power from large hydro power plants energy from renewable sources is attributed. Then could what Under the name of the promotion of renewable energies, to a subsidy hydro-energy mega-projects run out.

But even if the state fails to act, speaks much that will increase the share of renewable energies in primary energy production in Russia in the coming decades. First, ensure the rising price of fossil fuels on the domestic market and ensure that those settlements in remote areas that are not connected to the central energy networks, to switch their energy supply, if not abandoned altogether. Secondly, even in the urban centers more and more homeowners have to get used to the idea that fossil fuels are finite and the heat and power from this Source is therefore increasingly expensive and uncertain. The end of the fossil fuel era will come, and with it the energy policy shift in Russia.

lies the tragedy at the Devil's Wall
The extreme mountaineer Karl Unterkircher in a crevasse on Nanga Parbat, his companions had to leave him - there is no salvation. From Julius Müller-Meiningen

The extreme mountaineer Karl Unterkircher stuck in a crevasse on Nanga Parbat, his companions had to leave him - there is no salvation.

It is said that they had to rise further. Just continue. Maybe hang Walter Nones and Simon Kehrer still in the wall that her boyfriend Karl Unterkircher was fatal.

Wednesday morning phoned Kehrer and Nones by satellite telephone to South Tyrol and reported the accident that had happened the night before: The famous extreme mountaineer and mountain guide Unterkircher was the first ascent of the Rakhiot-wall of the 8125m Nanga Parbat in Pakistan on a snow board slipped and fell into a crevasse.

you had tried to be as reported Kehrer and Nones, to free their companion buried under the snow. Let them only managed to take Unterkircher the phone. Several desperate attempts to rescue the victim had failed.
"We can not go back from where we started. That would be too dangerous. We are at around 6400 meters and need to continue upwards, and then to get off the wall, "was Walter Nones on the phone said to his wife. Then broke the connection.

least to three days will it take until the survivors the dangerous route in the base camp to arrive. "Nones and Kehrer are no longer available." It says so on Karl Unterkircher written website.

friends of Karl Unterkircher have a relief expedition started for the rescue of two climbers on the wall. The extent to help the men may be is unclear. Unterkircher For there is no salvation.

The famous extreme mountaineer Unterkircher was the first ascent of the wall Rakhiot the 8125m Nanga Parbat in Pakistan slipped on a snow board and fell into a crevasse.

"Unfortunately, we can do for Karl at the moment at all. It is impossible for us to reach the point where he crashed," said a friend of the victim, Agostino Da Polenza. The scene seems too remote for relief, even the use of a helicopter is impossible because of the steep wall. The 38-year-old

Unterkircher leaves behind three young children and his wife, Silke. "They have done all determined to save him. As far as I know, there is little hope," she told an Italian television station. Mountaineering had just been, Karl was loved.

Reinhold Messner, his brother Günther as 61 other climbers on Nanga Parbat was killed Unterkircher once described as a "new star in the sky-climber". The ascent of the wall at the ninth-Rakhiot highest peak in the world should be just another stage of his coming from the Val Gardena Mountain Guide.

"The mountains are calling"
less than 40 first ascents go to the Dolomites back to Unterkircher and in 2004 he settled in the Guinness Book of Records entry because he was the first in 63 days, the two highest peaks in the world, Mount Everest and K2, had climbed without oxygen bottles. A fatal hunting for records, not only since the accident a few days on the Zugspitze fueling the debate. On Sunday two extreme athlete who died after a race at Germany's highest mountain.

"In my sense of responsibility I feel something like fear, I think of often at home, to my loved ones. The best way to ensure and to prevent unexpected, would, of course, from this project get off," wrote Unterkircher three days before his crash In his blog - and went up further.

The attraction of the mountain was too big. oscillate between fear and transfiguration Unterkircher be found on their website entries. Of a "haunted jagged wall of ice with the many crevasses, a "fairytale" is out of the question.
Even the fear is mystified: "Certainly this wall causes for decades fear and trembling throughout the valley and asks the locals for respect and sanctity of this defiant devil wall had me on the first day of our arrival, not at rest, it makes me hesitant. and skeptical. It truly is a dangerous mission! "

calculated up to twelve hours, the three mountaineers to climb the 3,000 meter high steep wall of ice. It sounds like a legacy, as Karl Unterkircher 28 June enters his diary: "The probability that the ice wall detaches just during our high-rise is minimal. . . I am aware that the general public does not share my opinion because we should really would not return, many say: '... What have they only looked there, but one thing is certain, who have no contact with the mountain place, it will never know. The mountain is calling! "

For weeks he had made himself scarce on the streets, approached the intersection little more prominent, the gorgeous guy with his bold gold chain around his neck. Otherwise howl he had at every red traffic light the engine, waved at the kick start the children in a friendly on the school grounds; bangs with 100 cases by 30 km / h zone, raced merrily honking rotator-grandmothers cross the street, summer was round his muscular arm casually hanging out the car window, from which even delicious Sounds penetrated: umpfff Zwirbel, umpfff Zwirbel ...

These days, however bitter tears flow instead of gasoline and Super, which have become too expensive for the Young Turk lovers of Bavarian giants coaches. More and more sedans are being returned for reasons of cost or shut down, according to car dealers. To new sales of luxury cars is not to be thought.

Now the unfortunate BMW-Turk is sitting at home firm, because movement on foot, he would never. Worse was to only be seen by friends in a Japanese dwarf spin. But that will never happen, because BMW is his life. The five-BMW is not without reason "Turks Blitz" called. How is that Umpfff-Gezwirbel sounds too weak in the pit of a small car?

How Much Do Crowns Cost With Cigna

Epochal madness (taz)

Epochal madness
Rafael Nadal dethroned in a dramatic finale to the long-time maestro of Wimbledon. The defeat of Roger Federer marks a new era in the tennis world. HENKEL OF DORIS

WIMBLEDON taz only thing missing was, that would have spread as the guy on top of the flat roof of the cabin TV's arms and shouted to the 15,000 people in the flickering flashlights of interspersed dark: I am the king of the world! But so what if he had never done, and finally he was on his way to the throne of his country, the Crown Prince Felipe. However, it would have voted, because after the end of an epoch-making, completely crazy game was nothing less than Rafael Nadal, the new sovereign.

Of the things that took place this Sunday 14:30 to 9:15 on Wimbledon's Centre Court, all who were there tell their children and grandchildren yet. More drama, more intensity and persistence, more at a breathtaking change of currents can hardly be included in a game. And deal and certainly not more of the challenge to the heroes of the drama, with all this.

as Nadal stood on the roof, Roger Federer was sitting down on the dark center court on a chair, his eyes lost in the middle of nowhere. Later, he said, those first moments were not the worst that can take little exercise. But it was already clear at that moment that he had made the defeat of the heart. His series of five titles, the feeling of being at this tournament on this course and who admired and respected champion, had meant to him more than anything else in the world of tennis.

He knew that he could not complain about the defeat in five sets (4:6, 4:6, 7:6, 7:6, 7:9) after four hours and 48 minutes in the longest Wimbledon final in history. For Nadal had used every opportunity, including early as the middle of the third set, then the game would be perhaps even before the first rain break was over. But apparently in the sky had made to allow a play like this next year and which will then give no more. With a roof over Centre Court to play a delayed start and two rain breaks would have been spared, but it just would have lacked even that dramatic moment of the delay and the dazzling half hour at the end in the gathering darkness. In the end, Federer said that he had hardly known, against whom he played, and Nadal said: "When I opened the match, I have not seen."

He did not see, he could rely on blind instinct. And leave on his apparently innate ability to bring to any situation from the rest. How he could create, put away the breaks and the two match points awarded in the tiebreak of the fourth movement? That is not been difficult, he said. "After I lost the fourth set in, I sat down and thought: I play well, I am in good shape, I will continue that way, and then we'll see what happens." Against this mental strength against this God-given youthful calm the sometimes reluctant magician Roger Federer was a lost cause.

He will take a long time to get in by this defeat, the twelfth 18th common game to recover. Infinitely longer than any event after the very clear defeat four weeks ago in the finals of Roland Garros. "Paris was nothing," he said an hour after the defeat with a trail of tears in his eyes, "this is a disaster". He was inconsolable and would probably prefer somewhere disappeared in the darkness. To listen to the debate is not whether the first defeat at this point after six years, something of a turning point was. An event such as the time 1981, the first defeat after five titles by Bjorn Borg against the rebellious, tempestuous John McEnroe.

The number one tennis he will remain on paper first time. But only in a few weeks, Federer is to consider that one could say exactly the balance of power after the Olympic Games and the U.S. Open. When he looked on Monday morning after a brief and probably not very nice night out the window, showed the deposed Maestro Wimbledon again the cold shoulder, it was pouring. The way it is again: Nothing lasts forever, the small happiness is negotiated every day. Maybe it will be to the image of the gymnast on the roof is not often seen in a dream.

Bitter and sweet tears after the Wimbledon final
London (dpa) - As Rafael Nadal stood in the grass and crying with happiness all four legs stretched out on his own, was the history book of tennis at one of its most glorious Chapter thicker.

In perhaps the best final in the "holy turf", but in any case the longest Wimbledon men's final, destroying the muscle-bound Mallorcan tennis hero brutally and without batting an eyelash Roger Federer's dream of a sixth triumph in the series. The Swiss had to the legendary Bjorn Borg trumps as the record holder. But when the lights went out, was the industry leader in the London rain and had to 4:48 hours with 4:6, 4:6, 7:6 (7:5), 7:6 (10:8), its 7:9 worst defeat ever suffered. In the world ranking to Nadal advanced to 550 points up to him. "That's what I'll have to chew for a long time"

said the deposed king lawn. His major goals for 2008 are now gold in the Olympics and right after the first Grand Slam win of the year at the U.S. Open. Federer experienced in a trance, the minutes of the match ball which he had in the early darkness of Wimbledon hardly seen and beaten into the net. As a gentleman and he congratulated Nadal slumped thoughtfully on his chair. The hands pressed to his face, he began to cry quietly.

On the other hand, Nadal did gymnastics up to his family in the playing box and balanced on the roof of the booth talking to the Royal Box, where Spain's Crown Prince Felipe and his wife Letizia were waiting. "The crown prince was more common in my games," told the four-time French Open champion. That he had given his country only eight days after the European Football Championship the next triumph, made him doubly happy.

displaced in the British newspapers, the "epic match" even the Formula 1 Lewis Hamilton win at Silverstone from the front pages. "Nadal is the victor of Wimbledon" headline in The Times, and the "Observer" wrote of a "historic finale, in which Federer's dream was over." In pithy letters chose the "Sun" the Spaniard to the "greatest" and fabled: "Impressive Nadal ends the reign of King Roger." The "Independent" after all, it was said:. "Nadal is triumphant after unforgettable Wimbledon drama

That was after 65 victories on grass the first time beaten Federer shocked than ever after a tennis match. His red eyes, the soft voice and the sad look revealed what was going on inside him. "I've tried everything. But I've been getting a bit too late. Look, Rafa is a deserving champion. He has played quite fantastic. "

The Tick was a little of the 22-year-old, who was allowed to hug the first Spaniard to Manuel Santana in 1966, the golden cup, the better. Above all, he had come quicker off the mark. "I won the first two sentences and then twice fired the tiebreak. Why should therefore "be nervous," said Nadal that easily and thanked politely for Federer. He shows a great attitude, if he wins, but even if he loses. He is number one and has won here five times. I only one time "both

were in agreement that the onset of darkness at the end of the match an imposition was. "When I served for the match, I have not seen," said Nadal. And Federer said: "I will not grumble. But it was very, very dark. This has made the finals and even more dramatic for the champion still fantastic. "

The tennis legends among the 15 000 spectators around the Centre Court were excited about the finale, which fits in the series of classics such as Goran Ivanisevic against Patrick Rafter in 2001, Stefan Edberg Boris Becker in 1990 or against Bjorn Borg against John McEnroe in 1980 enqueues. It was the greatest match I've ever seen, "ruled McEnroe, Borg in 1981 had prevented the sixth Wimbledon triumph. And the three-time Wimbledon winner Becker joined in: ". There has never been a better endgame"
