I’ve written before about the increasing number of roundabouts here, and here is a flyer from Ehningen near Stuttgart showing a grand opening. Click to enlarge.

There is a better copy of the same picture with a different text here.
– Actually, it’s the same text. But it lacks the header of the flyer.
Thanks for my fellow-translator Paul Thomas, once of Bristol, but now of Ehningen.

For those wondering about appropriate clothing for the Oktoberfest, look at the pictures at Lola Paltinger’s website – www.lolapaltinger.com (apparently links are discouraged). You can even order online, albeit only T-shirts – but what T-shirts!

I am now on a list of weblogs in Nürnberg and Fürth – a shame they didn’t extend the map to include Erlangen.

It doesn’t seem possible to add a logo, but only a blogroll, which would put the names of all 10 local blogs and “powered [sic] by blogplan.de” in blue characters on the page.

There’s an EU portal now for EU dialogue with citizens, reports What’s new on the UK legal Web?
A large number of factsheets are available to download, and they can also be ordered by post. Thus I can select: recognition of qualifications, Germany, lawyers, in English. Here’s only part of it:

bq. Directive 98/5/EC (OJ No L 77 of 14 March 1998) gives all lawyers qualified to practise in another Member State in one of the capacities listed in Article 1 the right to practise in another Member State on a permanent basis, using the professional title gained in the home Member State. Under certain conditions, Member States can exclude some activities, such as the administration of estates of deceased persons and the creation or transfer of interests in land. Lawyers practising under their home-country professional title may, inter alia, give advice on the law of their home Member State, Community law, international law and the law of the host Member State. They must comply with the professional and ethical rules of both the host Member State and their home state. When representing clients in legal proceedings the host Member State may require lawyers practising under their home-country professional titles to work in conjunction with local lawyers who practise before the judicial authority in question.

And I can vary the main topic, subtopic and language.

Dieses Gedicht wurde nicht in einem Stück gefunden, sondern zusammengefügt aus Stücken der maschinenübersetzten Website Carey Park in Australien. Der Rhythmus hat – leise – Anklänge an Goethes “Prometheus”.

bq. Und ja
gibt es sogar im Freien
Stühle und Tabelle
und einen Grill
für jene langen Sommerabende.
Die olivgrünen Plantagen,
Reedausblick und die Balkone.

bq. Drei Nächte, einschließlich die hellen Mittagessen,
Lichtmittagessen,
ein Cutlery, ein elektrischer Krug,
ein devonshire tea grasen oder genießen.

bq. Die großen Pöbel der Känguruhs
Seniors Superretter
Pferd Reiten,
der Felsen vorangehen.

bq. Herr WebCounter sagt, daß Sie der Besucher sind
zum durch unsere schöne Senke zu stoppen.

bq. Sie haben nicht gelebt.

The Guardian did have a weblog, but it is no longer being updated. It seems to have been replaced by a news weblog. At all events, on this page, dated September 17th, the Guardian describes and links to its four weblogs: Newsblog, Gamesblog, Guideblog and Onlineblog.
