Open Question: If you are folkishly inclined but are of mixed European heritage, how do you choose a flavor of heathenism?
Open Question: If you are folkishly inclined but are of mixed European heritage, how do you choose a flavor of heathenism?I am of partially Norse, partly Celtic and partly Portuguese descent. I am inclined towards the folkish ways of following the gods of your ancestors but, since I am mixed, no one particular group of gods appeals to me more than another. I can't even find any Portuguese gods since the Catholic church overran Portugal so long ago. Has any one else wrestled with this sort of problem?

Open Question: How do I find part time jobs?
Hey, I'm a portuguese student and I want to get my Master's Degree in the US. In 2 years I'll finish my Academic License ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_education_in_Portugal#Degrees ).
So what I'm willing to do, before I candidate in the US, is getting a part-time job there. FYI the University is UCLA. I would like to know any websites about part time jobs at L.A.
Thanks in advance.

Resolved Question: Will your prayers be with Madeleine Mccann?
Madeleine was abducted on 3rd May 2007 in Praia da Luz, Portugal, 9 days before her 4th birthday. She was taken from our holiday apartment where she was sleeping with her younger brother and sister whilst we were dining 50 yards away. Despite a massive investigation led by the Portuguese police and supported by the British police, we still do not know who has taken her, why she was taken or where she is. In addition, private investigators based in Spain are now following up any leads regarding Madeleineâ™s disappearance..
I live in Plymouth England, and i nearly cried my eyes out when Madeline Mccann has been missing for over 1 year now, We dont know how madeleines feeling, Lost, Lonely, Scared..
Will you pray for Poor maddie who needs her family, in who her family needs maddie.. Come Home Madeleine! We love you..

Voting Question: If I understand Spanish, would I be able to understand Portuguese?
Not perfectly, just enough so I can understand what's going on when I am in Portugal.
I love to visit my grandma in Portugal but I am so lost when it comes to conversation. I used to study French and Italian but now I'm studying Spanish. My mother's first language is Portuguese and she read my Spanish essay and understood it and my professor said it was good.
If I get better at it, will it help me with Portuguese? I can't really ask my mom because she is the other way around.. Sometimes she says she doesn't understand Spanish perfectly.
I hope this helps me with my Portuguese. What do you guys think?

Resolved Question: McCanns: Kate and Gerry desparate to see what the Police have on file about them ?
We read that the Portuguese authoritys are to withold the files on the case of missing Madeleine McCann for a further 3 months. The two infamous celebrity serial child neglectors Kate and Gerry McCann are desparate to get hold of the Police files to see what is held about them.
I'm not a lawyer, but the idea that MAIN SUSPECTS are allowed to see the Police files before being charged with an offence seems ludicrous.
Is there any country in the world other than Portugal where the MAIN SUSPECTS in a potential murder investigation are allowed to see the Police files before, or even after charges are brought ?

Resolved Question: McCanns: All the prayers have worked?
Apparently... yes.
At least, mine, which were about seeing justice follow its normal course.
McCanns' Portuguese lawyer, Dr. Rogério Amaral, stated today that the McCanns are willing to return to Portugal for the reconstruction on May 29th.
No mention to any particular demands was made.
Since they've signed a Termo de Identidade e Residência, the least effective of the coercive measures, I hope they fulfill that promise.
If not, welll... The PJ has enough detailed statements to prove that nobody at that table is of divine origin.
Only God can be at two places at the same time...
Edit@Tiny clanger: I see your point. For my own reasons I believe in law and order. Without it we fall. The course of the investigation was pointing at the parents. It should've, it must have been followed. Extensively. And I'm sorry, but you of all people accusing me of prejudice is a bit rich... Think what you want.
I don't think parents are normally guilty. That would have been prejudice.
They are, however, always the first to be fully investigated and cleared.
My only prejudice is towards people who lie and evade police questioning.
Yes, touché!
I do have a strong prejudice towards that type.
Edit@Tiny Clanger: *sigh*... yes, I find some of your answers to be extremely prejudiced and falacious.
I don't have the heart to go searching for more:

Edit@Penny: Hi there, Well... I think that with the new Penal code this is the last extension the MP will be granted by the judge. On the subject of being dragged back... never for a simple investigative procedure like the re-enactment. Only for arrest. And judging by the obstacles the Home Office was able to create to a simple rogatory letter, I wouldn't put much hope in it, if we come to that.
Edit@Tiny Clanger: LOL at your answer. Congrats, you were able to choose a sentence which isn't. The rest is. Did you prove your point? Nahhhh... you just proved mine...again.

Resolved Question: McCann "smears", were they released by TEAM McCONN ?
Think about it, they wanted to come up with a "reason" to wriggle out of going to Portugal for the re enactment of their tapas bar checking lies....
The original translation of the statement by the journalist refered to "investigators close to the case" as releasing the transcripts (Metodo3?),
Why release to Spanish Media contact (Metodo 3 Spanish based)
The Portuguese police would probably have leaked the info to 24 Horas, BUT, if Retardo 3 had tried that, 24 Horas would have have exposed them instantly.
The Mc's had transcripts of the early statements because the Consulate was doing all of the translations, not the PJ.
What do you think ?... they were awfully quick with their defence weren't they, almost as though it was pre prepared.
Why aren't the Media concentrating on what was said in the transcripts, either, merely that there were leaks ???
thanks for the link 7, I haven't visited that site before, will do now though.....
fluffy bu...., NO, not yet, when there is a resolution, a little girl, and her brother and sister were left alone in an unlocked room while their "parents" went out drinking......
Navi, Mitchell and the Mc's were the one's who leaked the info. about the reconstruction in Portugal... the revelations about the taparsers demands came 2 days later. It is necessary to hold them on site as a number of people will be giving evidence during their re enactment, several of them employees of the Club and local people, a re enactment has been run on computer, it simply didn't fit with their stories, it was televised in Portugal in October.
Duirmuid, thanks, I liked this bit.
"They are demanding "absolute security" over the records from the re-interviewing of their friends.", so, they leaked their own side of the interviews in the rest of the article ????

Resolved Question: Can you help with a few questions on an European amber alert system?
Say, for instance that a couple on holiday, in Portugal return from a night out to find their child missing, they, naturally tidy the apartment up and, around an hour later, call the Police, in around an hour the Police asses the situation, decide that an abduction HAS occured, so the Amber alert system swings into operation.... It is around 1 AM, so, no one is watching the local TV, or listening to the radio....
How many languages would be typed onto the motorway signs,
during the holiday season, I think, in Portugal, you would need to use, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, German, French and English.....How Would that work????
How many open borders would need to be covered?
Could such a system ever be workable ?
Wouldn't it just be best if people looked after their kids ??
bla bla, I have 2 kids, in their thirties, they were never left alone.
You forget how many people from different areas of Europe holiday in Portugal etc., here in Italy, the signs would have to be in French Spanish German and English to be of any use, and you would not have time to read them as you passed.

Resolved Question: Should this man receive a European award for his services to Child welfare?
This is from a poster on the Sky website.
TODAY IN BRUSSELS:
A business man discovered he was going to be at the European Parliament while the conference was going on.
He got his secretary to print out a hundred leaflets, then he stood outside the conference room and handed them out. He got a very positive response and is meeting with some journalists later (at their request.)
This is what the leaflet says:
On 3rd May 2007, Madeleine McCann disappeared from her parentsâ™ holiday apartment at Praia da Luz in Portugal.
Her parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, had left her and her two younger siblings in an unlocked apartment that evening, as they had done every evening of their holiday, in order to enjoy an alcohol-fuelled dinner at the resort Tapas bar, well over a hundred metres away. From the bar, they were unable to have a clear line of sight to the apartment where Madeleine was. They left them unattended, despite their Mark Warner holiday resort offering babysitting services and evening supervision of children.
They claim to have checked on them every half an hour. Yet the statements of the parents and their companions to the police about their movements that night are full of contradictions and obfuscations.
The very instant that Kate McCann discovered that Madeleine was missing, she and her husband Gerry insisted that she had been abducted.
Yet there is little evidence that Madeleine was abducted from the apartment.
Since May 2007, there has been an ongoing investigation by the Policia Judiciária, the Portuguese police (PJ), into Madeleineâ™s disappearance. The investigation is currently headed personally by Paulo Rebelo, the respected national deputy director of the PJ.
According to information in the Portuguese press, Paulo Rebelo and his team have concluded that the evidence for an abduction is minimal, and that in all probability Madeleine died in the holiday apartment. Their conclusions are based on forensic and other evidence, including evidence collected through the use of UK police sniffer dogs trained in the discovery of cadaver odour. The dogs used by the Portuguese and British police are the same ones which discovered concealed remains in the recent Jersey childrenâ™s home case.
On the basis of police evidence and investigations, the parents of Madeleine were constituted suspects (or âœarguidosâ) by the Portuguese police in September 2007, and then immediately left Portugal for the UK, following police interviews in which they refused to answer key questions put to them by the Portuguese police. They have not returned to Portugal since then.
This week (April 7th-11th 2008), a top-level team of the Policia Judiciara, led by Paulo Rebelo himself, are in the United Kingdom, conducting interviews together with the police of Leicestershire. They are interviewing the companions of the McCanns on the fateful evening, the so-called Tapas 7, because of inconsistencies in their original statements to the police last spring. The Portuguese police suspect that the Tapas 7 are being untruthful in their evidence, and that they have knowledge of what happened to Madeleine that fateful night.
The McCanns personally, and through their media spokesman Clarence Mitchell, have worked hard to discredit the Portuguese police, calling into question their competencies and motives, and insisting that Madeleine remains alive and that the police should be searching for her. The Policia Judiciária are not actively searching for her because they have concluded internally that she has in all probability been dead since May 3rd 2007.
The McCanns have set up a special fund, based on the thesis that Madeleine is alive and needs to be searched for, and which to date has collected over a million pounds (1.5 mln Euro) in donations from the public and libel fees obtained from the Express Newspaper Group. Among the mission statements of the Fund is the aim âœto provide support, including financial assistance, to Madeleineâ™s family.â
Over the last year, the McCann parents have increasingly aligned themselves with lobbying for the Amber Alert system, in place in the US, to be introduced on a Europe-wide basis. They are positioning themselves as global ambassadors for missing children.
As they continue their campaign, many questions need to be asked. They include:
⢠Why have the McCanns not taken full responsibility for the disappearance of their daughter? Surely what they should be doing is campaigning on the theme of âœDo not leave your children unattended in unlocked apartments, whilst you enjoy alcohol-fuelled dinners at a distance where you cannot observe them, as we didâ.
⢠Why have they undertaken a campaign to discredit the Portuguese police, and invested hundreds of thousands of pounds into funding private investigators of dubious reputation (Metodo 3), to maintain the public belief that their daughter is alive? Should they not instead be co-operating in answering the questions of the PJ?
⢠Why have the McCanns hired, at great expense, top lawyers in the UK and US on matters of extradition, libel and criminal evidence? These include Kingsley Napley, whose Michael Caplan QC fought efforts to extradite General Pinochet from the UK; Carter-Ruck, the UK's most expensive libel lawyers; and Hurley, Burish & Stanton in Madison, Wisconsin, USA, specialising in debunking sniffer dog evidence in criminal trials. Are these the typical actions of parents of missing children?
⢠Why are the supporters of the Amber Alert system aligning themselves with Kate and Gerry McCann, who remain official suspects (âœarguidosâ) in an ongoing police investigation, jointly conducted by Portuguese and British police forces? Are these the right role models for ambassadors in the cause of missing children?
There are many more unanswered questions about the disappearance of Madeleine and the activities of her parents since May 2007. The McCanns and their spokesman Clarence Mitchell are working hard to suppress these questions and the debate around them, including having successfully closed down the The Mirror Group internet discussion forum, and forced (via libel proceedings) the Express Group to remove from its internet sites every article that they had published about the McCanns and the Madeleine case since May 2007. The only crime of the internet fora and the Express Group was to republish and comment on stories appearing in the Portuguese media.
Thankfully, it is still possible to debate the McCann case freely and ask the questions that the McCanns, their spokesman, and their expensive lawyers have sought to suppress.
If NO, why not ?
Katie, the price was paid by Madeleine Beth McCann as a direct result of her parents actions, there is ONLY one victim, a little girl,
neglected by her parents,
lost by her parents,
trademarked by her parents.
Money taken from a fund to find her, to pay their mortgage by her parents.....
