Birthday Speeches For 60th

at work up close




After yesterday Luke was able to visit his workplace, he was allowed this up today. The whole work was dedicated to preparation for the candidate. They all enjoyed an introduction to the work safety, as it is handled in Canada. For this purpose a Müsterchen: Once a candidate is working at his workplace at the top there is a MUSS, dass er eine Schutzbrille trägt. Dabei ist noch zu erwähnen, dass an unserem Objekt nur bis auf 1.80m Platten verlegt werden. Noch besser war die Einführung wie man eine Nassfräse nützt. Vieleicht hat der Shopmaster vergessen, dass hier die Weltelite am Start ist.
Nicht wirklich glücklich sind wir natürlich über die uns hingestellten Wände. Laut der technischen Beschreibung (das ist unsere Bibel) haben die Wände fix zu sein. Nur, das fix wird hier in Kanada ein bisschen anders gehandhabt. So wurde den Kandidaten heute 2 Stunden zur Verfügung gestellt um die Wände in Ordnung zu bringen, wie auch immer. Dabei wurden die Schrauben der Gipsplatten wieder gelöst, um dahinter mit Schifthölzer so gut as possible what out of it. In addition, each candidate filler was provided. Now I am firmly convinced that these 20 objects have the most accurate walls across Calgary.
We can now see, contrary to the long-awaited go-ahead to the World Skills 2009th
morning, Tuesday, will take place the Eröffnungsceremonie, and on Wednesday September 2 fight against almost 1,000 candidates in over 50 professions for medals.

greetings, and thanks for the entries

Daylight Gained Each Day In Illinois






While the candidates were allowed to live your own program, the experts today at 1 Time the competition site visit. This is the workplace for the next ten days.
Here in Calgary, the various halls and tents on the fair grounds very close to each other and reachable by foot in few minutes. Which means it does not go 20 minutes (one-way) lost their lunch time as ever experienced. The Canadian
Shop Master (Thank you Pat Baxter) really did a superb job, stellte sich sofort heraus. Die Infrastruktur ist von seiner Seite her geschaffen. Die Kandidaten sollten somit optimale Bedingungen antreffen.


So, liebe Blogleserinnen und liebe Blogleser.
Nur für mich alleine muss ich diese Einträge auf dem Blog nicht verfassen. Dieser Text fliesst auch nicht so aus der Tastatur, und die Bilder laden sich auch nicht automatisch von der Kamera auf PC und von da auf den Blog.
Es ist also ganz und gar nicht verboten zwischendurch einen kurzen comment abzugeben!
An dieser Stelle ein herzliches Dankeschön ins Münstertal und ins Penthouse Girstein für die ersten Einträge.

Hopefully growing international candidates so beyond itself.

What Size Turbo Does The 09 Cobalt Have

started with delay .. . Now there



full of energy met the almost complete (now de ned bini einisch letscht) Swiss-Skills team yesterday morning at the airport in Kloten. After an hour late (so much snow was probably now not even on the run) but then lost the bird or the ground under the wheels and flew via Toronto to Calgary. After 13 hours (9 +4 would have to get there) of pure flight time, the Swiss delegation is increasing very enthusiastic off the plane. Taken in receiving them because of the six pre-traveled members of the delegation.
Candidates leave But Calgary immediately by bus to the northeast, to prepare themselves in a remote lodge on competition.
called for the experts is now the candidate to create optimal conditions. These are the day before the first inspect your competition day jobs can operate machine tools and testing. Those tools and machines, since 25 July Emmenbrücke the company Kuehne & Nagel has been passed, and now should be by sea and rail freight in Calgary.

Greetings from Calgary

Le Pénis De Gaspard Ulliel

landed on time "ICE"





On the trail towards Calgary plenty to see a lot. You are hardly got into the car and drove off, one of the next tourist-sign indicates an interest. So it happens (on my own body experiences) that within 20 kilometers of well and got out is like seven times. But still, I reached my milestone (Columbia Icefield Centre) on time in order to climb with the first tour that day, the glacier. It sounds now much harder than it is. With specially designed and built "Icefield Explorers" (as they call it) is gone to meet on the second largest glacier in Canada (Athabasca Icefield), about four kilometers of the tip. Like any Icefield was this bigger years ago. Today is a kilometer wide, six miles long and 325 meters thick. After warming up
means tidy the next milestone in "Lake Louise". Very quickly I realized what it is Canada's most photographed natural location to be. The image along Lake Louise with its glacier in the background of more than 100,000 visitors annually clipped. And at lunch time I was with about 4,000 other tourist alone at Lake Louise. Beautiful, right?
I am currently located in Canmore, about 90 minutes from Calgary and wait until my alarm clock goes off. Because then the hourglass starts to run to the World Skills in earnest. Today at 10.10 Central European Time Clock lifts the team from Swiss-Skills in Kloten. The mission can begin

!

Uf em Wäg lost after Chaschper?





After my 680 km of "driving day 1" I drove from Vancouver to Kamloops to Iceland. To Kamloops around but nothing could be seen more as bleak (see picture) District. On my second day of driving
I had to then suddenly the title question.
I was on the way from Kamloops to Jasper (so the place is called in the same park). Suddenly a camp name "Lucerne". See for yourself and see the picture. Next to it is my "modest" tour guide. A LINCOLN! Not every day that such a car can be driven. (At this point, Rolf Helbling und Team, ein herzliches Dankeschön für Eure hervorragende Arbeit)
Schon längst Mitten im Naturpark unterwegs bin ich auch heil in Jasper selbst angekommen. Es ist schon eindrücklich was einem die scheinbar unendliche Natur zu bieten hat. Das Auge kann sich daran kaum satt sehen.

Nicht verpassen!!! Im nächsten Eintrag sind die Gletscher vom "Columbia Icefield" zu sehen.
Also bis dann...
Gruss Roger

Thinned Forehead Hair Waxing

Go West .....





Genau das war auch mein Motto auf meiner Reise von Weggis über Toronto nach Vancouver. In diesem Sommer sind laut einem Insider (Danke Lukas) die Temperaturen in Kanada auf einem Rekordhoch. Das habe auch umgehend an eigenem Leibe verspürt (28°), als ich das Flugzeug in Toronto nach einem 9stündigen Flug verlassen habe.
Der Transfer vom Airport Toronto lief wesentlich "glimpflicher", als jener in Vancouver. Genau an meinem Ankunftstag hat der neue Skytrain (Olympia 2010 sei Dank) vom Airport nach Downtown seinen Betrieb aufgenommen. Das wäre ja eigenlich a good thing. However, if not on opening day, the rides are free. So 100,000 people have availed of this offer. In half the time I would have needed to queue up, I was a taxi driven safely front of the hotel.
The day after, I have met one (for one year) emigrated Weggis. His insider can I pass on my Swiss expert colleagues from the World Skills too. Hey Luke, thanks no einisch vel times for Danish Abig and aces high above Vancouver.

greetings to Switzerland
Roger

Maxine.com Retirement Cartoons Free

The preparations are complete!





Das ganze Swiss-Skills Team hat am 25. Juli 2009 Ihre Werkzeugkisten in Emmenbrücke abgegeben. Seit dieser Zeit sind die gut 60 Gepäckstücke, Kisten und Rohre per Schiffsfracht unterwegs nach Kanada (ca. 12 Tonnen). Until one day earlier, Luke with his, now very familiar to him tools, trained in Dagmersellen. Almost too long ..... but the two big box with the emblem of Switzerland have their way then but still found time to Emmenbrücke ;-)
now is to think slowly to pack it, because on 26 August starts, the Swiss-Skills team to stay.

Yours truly, here's take a few days early to spot a visit. This leads my journey through Toronto, Vancouver, over the Rocky Mountains to Calgary.

Greetings to all and homesickness Weggis Weggis,
all board layers and / or so complicated,
to Switzerland and the rest of the world.
