Der Nørresødys war eine megalithische Grabanlage der jungsteinzeitlichen Nordgruppe der Trichterbecherkultur im Kirchspiel Ferslev in der dänischen Kommune Frederikssund. Er wurde um 1866 zerstört.

Lage
Das Grab lag nördlich des Nørresø (See) auf dem Gelände des heutigen Hofs Nordsøgård.

Forschungsgeschichte
Die Anlage wurde zwar 1809 unter Schutz gestellt aber dennoch um 1866 zerstört; dabei wurden Funde geborgen. Im Jahr 1873 führten Mitarbeiter des Dänischen Nationalmuseums eine Dokumentation der Fundstelle durch. Zu dieser Zeit waren keine baulichen Überreste mehr auszumachen.

Beschreibung

Architektur
Die Anlage besaß eine ostnordost-westsüdwestlich orientierte rechteckige Hügelschüttung mit einer Länge von 27 Schritt (ca. 20 m) und einer Breite von 12 Schritt (ca. 8 m). Die am westlichen Ende des Hügels gelegene Grabkammer ist als Großdolmen anzusprechen. Sie war nordnordwest-südsüdöstlich orientiert und hatte eine Länge von 5 Schritt (ca. 3,8 m) und eine Breite von 1,5 Schritt (ca. 1,1 m). Die Kammer besaß jeweils vier Wandsteine an den Langseiten und drei kleinere Wandsteine an der nördlichen Schmalseite. Die Südseite war offen. Die Decksteine der Kammer fehlten 1866 bereits.

Funde
Bei der Abtragung des Grabs wurden in der Kammer zwei geschliffene Feuersteinbeile und ein Bronzering gefunden.

ISIS Coalition Situation Report (SITREP) #32
With the worthless electoral exercise out of the way now we can return to the important stuff happening in the world…..and nothing is more important the US latest war…….
Quiet and I will begin the briefing…….
Item 1–Remember Irbil? It pretty much started this whole war thingy…..We jumped into this to protect…..and now it appears that the best laid plans…….
The Kurdish Peshmerga were making some gains against ISIS in late September and early October, backed by US warplanes. The gains began to reverse with an ISIS counteroffensive in mid-October.
At this point, ISIS seems to have recovered much of the territory it ceded in the early days of the US war, and is once again pushing deep into Kurdish territory, with fighting today focusing on a town just 60 km from the Kurdish capital of Irbil.
Irbil is NOT looking so promising for the coalition…..
Item 2–All reports appear to point to a certain degree of insatiability with the Coalition……
The Pentagon has denied that the US strategy against Islamic State (Isis) is in disarray after a series of setbacks as the war known as Operation Inherent Resolve stretches into its fourth month.
"I don't believe that we view current events as a major setback to the goals that we've set with respect to training and equipping the moderate opposition" in Syria, said Rear Admiral John Kirby, the Pentagon's chief spokesman.
Kirby's remarks came days after an al-Qaida-aligned faction routed one of the Syrian resistance groups on which the US has been depending to anchor an anti-Isis proxy force. The Nusra Front, al-Qaida's affiliate in Syria, appears now to be allying with Isis, an indication that the Islamist extremist group's fortunes are rising.
Maybe it is time for the Coalition to come up with a real plan for ISIS……..
Item 3–With a new GOP controlled Congress will that change the direction of the ISIS strategy?
Most of the major party leaders on both sides of the aisle were pretty straightforward about their opposition to voting on the ISIS war before the Tuesday election. President Obama was fine with it at the time, insisting he didn't need authorization.
Now that the election's over, President Obama is changing his tune, and pushing for the lame duck Congress to quickly rubber stamp the conflict before the new one takes office.
The plan so far is not a huge success……a change will be needed….watch this page.
Item 4–Will Congressional war hawks do their thing?
The Republicans took control of the Senate in Tuesday's elections, but much more important than which party took control is the nature of the incoming Senators from the new ruling party.
It's not an influx of Tea Party members, reluctant to waste US funds on overseas adventures and suspicious of federal power, but rather a series of hawks in the model of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R – SC) that seized the reins of power last night.
Will an authorization for ground troops be waiting around the corner?
Item 5–It is possible that Iran's generals running Iraq's war on ISIS?
With ISIS continuing to secure gains across the Anbar Province, Iraq's counteroffensive is mostly centered on the region due north of Baghdad. The push is slow going.
But it's not so much the Iraqi military leadership commanding their own counteroffensive, nor really doing the heavy lifting in the fighting, as Shi'ite allies from overseas are increasingly involved.
If true then it is breaking down to sunni vs shi'a….not a good spot to be….at least for now….
Item 6–Baghdad still holds to the belief that foreign troops will not be necessary…..
Iraq's foreign minister says Baghdad doesn't want foreign military personnel on Iraqi soil to combat Islamic State group extremists, but would accept training from abroad for its soldiers.
I do believe that Baghdad is delusional….they will not be capable of dealing with the situation alone.
That concludes today's briefing…….
Thanx for your time and attention……

Buffoons, Clowns And Thieves
Opinion from Chuq's Desk:
I think Cher should be belting out a tune right about now……….
Everybody will be looking for the hidden agenda by the vote…….first ask why? The agenda is the same as always….get elected and stay in power….governance? HA that is the lie the people tell…….
Oh yea…..the 2014 mid-terms are done………and nothing has changed…..we elected the same class of politicians we always elect…..low class of candidates. This election is a prime illustration of what the country has become. …..A collection of negativity and misinformation.
Gone are the days when a candidate laid out his/her program to the people and enter the world of social media where the candidate has little time to meet his.her voters.
That was my analysis of the election…….does not matter what state it was or what branch of the government…..there is NOTHING exciting about the outcome and definitely NOTHING of note.
If one takes this progression out to its logical end……in 20-25 years there will be NOTHING left of this country….nothing will be salvageable…….it will be a country of extremes…..wealthy and poor…..the middle class will be non-existent…………. Thanx to Americans voter habits.
Americans refuse to see just how worthless this system has become…..it is NO longer about electing the right person to carry out a set of policies but rather a perpetual campaign that leaves NO time for the players to do anything worthwhile… from the day a politician is elected it is a stream of campaign appearances and governance takes a backseat to money…..
As long as money is the prime motivator in politics we will continue to elect buffoons, clowns and thieves…it is that simple!
Before this country can get back on track as a prime place to live it must do two things……1–make a working political system and 2–voters that realize they are Americans and not isolated pockets of egocentric bullshit.
This last election has proven just how pathetically moronic this whole system of "picking" a leader has become. It is true that this country gets the politicians it deserves…..and we vote for buffoons, clowns and thieves….with each vote the country dies a little more.

I'm glad he is at a slightly better place, and has found a way of life that he can practice and work on staying sane. Forever grateful you have given him a voice to the world. The music is very soothing too.
Knowing what he's been through these past ten years, and also knowing that his family hasn't been there to help him, I can't imagine where his head would be if he thought there was no one he mattered to. I haven't printed any of his last letter yet and for personal reasons there are things I have to keep private but I know how deeply this has affected him, having a mother but not having one at the same time. It is why I became "Mom". He gets depressed. I don't blame him. I don't think she ever taken the time to know him beyond raising him as a child. He's honest with me about how he feels about things but he seems afraid that somehow I'll get mad at him if he screws up and won't want to be there for him anymore. I don't think anyone had ever told him before what a great person he is – his compassionate and caring. He gets depressed easily about things he can't control – like a relative dying. He has never had a chance to be himself. Except for one year he's been locked since he was 16, almost 17. Living with epilepsy and going through seizures alone is hard. There is no way I could ever tell him he was on his own. I would never do that. My daughter moved on – She had 4 kids with 4 dads and Jamie was the 3rd. She's a good mom, but she moved on. She couldn't understand what my interest was and I think it has really bothered her. But I can't see someone hurting and keep on walking. I've practiced Buddhism for 28 years. I know that many in the states are Christian, and I don't know what you believe, but I don't see many Christians take what they are taught and make a conscious daily effort to put it into practice. It seems their focus is on praising an entity and convincing themselves that they love whatever it is and insisting that Jesus is alive. What is not important is praising the teacher. What is important is showing the world that what he taught enabled them to change their lives, show proof of the teachings and become better people. Every poster seems to be about expressing love for God and go to heaven when you die. Christianity has only been around for a very short period of time. It was never used to manipulate people politically until the middle ages. The 2000 years of this age is a drop in the bucket compared to the years people have lived. Its really a fairly new religion. There are some Buddhists sects who praise the Buddha as well and there are Buddha statues on their alter and other people who want to appear peaceful will also have Buddha statues in their homes. There are no statues in my home because we focus on understanding the teachings and applying them to our lives, not praising the man. Praising the teacher doesn't change the life you are living, and heaven and hell are no so place you go to when you die, it is a condition of life as you live it. But people think the faith they were taught is the truth simply because it is what they know and they never look outside the box. Where Jamie is in his life, and where I am, and everyone else, is the culmination of causes we've all made in the past, sometimes too far back to understand. it's not important to know the causes. It's important to be aware of the causes we make now because that is what will determine your future – regardless of whatever religion you practice or don't practice. But if we don't take responsibility for our unhappiness and if we blame others for it we can never understand why things happen. So I teach Jamie the premise of Buddhism and what it means to his life so he will learn to be happy and be a good father and teach his soon when he gets out. If he doesn't raise his life condition and continues to react to life in anger then he continues to make negative causes. If he can work to change that then he can help others. Everyone has issues they wish they could change but they don't know how to do it, and even then sometimes it is so hard to do. We repeat lessons until we learn to get it right. Everyone who comes into your life for more than just a quick wave is there for a reason. There is something to learn. I'm in his life for a reason. He is in my life for a reason and I am telling you this for a reason. We shouldn't let opportunities pass us by. I started to write a reply to you last night but my tablet keyboard was messing up. I read that post of yours and it really affected me. All I could think of was the pain you had been in. I don't know how far in the past it was, or if it ended, but regardless, it isn't something that just disappears. That Deb, is a major effect of a cause you made somewhere for you to have to experience that. Please don't take that wrong. I'm not blaming you. It took a lot of courage to write what you did. I could keep writing about this. I write about it quite often, usually on my other blog, Watch and Whirl. I don't write as often on that blog but it is where I write posts that aren't appropriate for Jamie's blog. I want you to know that I appreciate the time you have spend on Jamie's blog. It is through his blog that his book will get finished writing, so when he gets out there will be a plan for him to benefit by pushing it – lectures, boys and girls clubs etc and videos. He wants to help people. How else would he develop a life he would be proud of if he didn't use his life to benefit others?
