Genealogy / Knew I was Hungarian, but my DNA came back Polish? [23]

It's very probable that we come from the same ancestors.

Like Budda :

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R1a1

Several Indian studies have pressed the case for an Indian origin for R1a1 from the diversity and distinctiveness of microsatellite Y-STR variation. Sengupta et al. conclude that there must have been an independent R1a1 population in India dating back to a much earlier expansion than the Indo-Aryan migration.

History / Poland's King Jan III Sobieski - the stopper of Turkish Janissaries! [64]

I agree that beating Turks at Viena was one of the biggest Polish mistakes. Later Austria and Prussia partitioned Poland.

We can't change it, it was much better let Turks beat more Germans. Durring the battle of Viena Poles played crucial role so Poland would defend itself without problems.

Travel / Polish Architecture [147]

Reed - who would think few years ago that we are going to have come back of reed on our roofs ...

Reed isolates houses well (better than till) and is very ecological. Production process is much more cleaner than in case of tile ...

trzcina.pl/dachy_eng.html

REED CHARACTERISTICS

Reed values, as a natural raw material used for roofing, are unique:
uncontaminated ecological product;
does not crumble inside;
perfectly harmonizes with landscape;
insulating power 98%;
natural mineralization;
25 years guarantee and at least 50 years endurance

Going back to the city...

Postindustrial 19 century space is being used properly. First 4 stars hotel in £ódz is being build in building of old factory :

In my opinion:
It is going to be something similar to stary browar in poznan

Travel / Polish Architecture [147]

As to present times.

In my opinion there will be more and more such buildings in Poland :

It is Sulejówek in Masovian Voivodeship.

It is nice example of revitalization in Wrocław :

Late modernism wasn't looking good (it is not only my opinion) It is time for change.

It is building before revitalisation :

and after :

This building doesn't have interesting form but functionality.

Building goes 18 meters underground. It doesn't need traditional heating or air conditioning. It has heat pumps (durring summer they cool down) and uses geotermal water. Building has units which intercept hot air exhaled by people inside of it ( reused for heating reasons...). When building is empty computer changes it into kind of thermos to not loose warm inside... wentilation is being closed, units which need power turned off.

Travel / Mushroom picking in spring in Poland? [35]

That's a saddle fungus or "strochok" in Russian. I guess it's the best mushroom to be picked in spring.

It is piestrzenica in Polish.

Other mushroom you can find in spring is Majówka.

or Krążkownica wrębiasta

News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]

Not to a polish family ("Watzenrode" doesn't sound polish to me) and in an inner-prussian civil war about taxes mostly he chose the side which was accidentally the side of some Poles too...some indications!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Grunwald

In Germany the battle was known as the Battle of Tannenberg. In 1914 yet another Battle of Tannenberg took place between Germany and Russia, ending with a Russian defeat.In German propaganda during the World War I / World War II period the 1914 battle was put forth as a revenge for the Polish - Lithuanian victory 504 years earlier, and the battle itself was purposefully named to suit this agenda.

heheh Civil war with some Poles on one side ... :)))))
