Scandinavia in Mourning
As the dust is starting to settle after the horrific atrocities in Norway yesterday,. We are all more or less in a state of complete shock in the whole of Scandinavia.
Our hearts go out to our grieving brothers and sisters in Norway for the awful massacre that was perpetrated yesterday. We are all watching the news directly transmitted from the Norwegian television NRK and are all in tears and utter dismay.
As far as has been reported so far, this is what happened.
Anders Behring Breivik, 32, an ethnic Norwegian and right wing extremist who is also a Christian fundamentalist and a islamophobic nationalist had a field day yesterday.
It all started with a bomb exploding outside a government building in central Oslo at 3.26 PM on Friday. The explosion killed at least seven people and seriously injured ten others. A tall blond man dressed as a policeman was seen close to the location.
The first reports of the massacre on the island of Utøya, outside Oslo, started coming around 18.25 PM on Friday.
The Norwegian Social Democratic Party´s youth organization was having it´s yearly summer camp on the island and had gathered 560 Norwegian and International youths.
Anders Behring Breivik, dressed in a police uniform, called on the youngsters to gather around him for news about the bombing in Oslo. As they did so he proceeded to start shooting them down, one by one. When the youngsters scattered all over the small island to take cover, and hide or attempting to swim away from the island, Anders Behring Breivik started to seek them out in their hiding places and shoot them execution style, one after the other.
He walked around seeking out his victims and shooting those he found in cold blood for approximately an hour and a half before he could be stopped.
The death toll on the island is presently at 85 confirmed dead, but it is expected to increase as there are still many listed as missing.
Anders Behring Breivik was apprehended by The Norwegian Police´s Special Forces. He has been taken into custody and is now being questioned by the police on the events.
Our thoughts and love go out to the murdered and injured, their families and friends and to the whole Norwegian people at this time. This is the worst massacre that has happened in the Nordic countries in modern history and is an attack on democracies everywhere.
We will stand together, side by side, with our Norwegian brothers and sisters, to defend our common beliefs and against the aggression of the right wing extremists, the Christian fundamentalists and the islamophobes and xenophobes.

Worlds Largest Graffiti
The incredibly wealthy sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, who is member of the country´s royal family, has had his first name shoveled out in the desert sands by laborers from Pakistan and Bangladesh. The inscription is three kilometer long.
Isn't that a terribly creative way to spend your money and wealth in a world where disease and famine kills people by the millions? I feel like slapping someone.

Short summer rains can be reinvigorating and clear the air, but when it just goes on day after day it is really uninspiring. I am feeling moody.
For the first time I feel like I am fleeing my first life when I decide to log into SecondLife for a chance to wear my sun glasses.
