Jyrki from Finland

Hello Jyrki - so glad to see you as a member after all the time you've been posting comments. I thought you might like to try some of our local Wignall's Late Harvest or some Goundry's Unwooded Chardonnay. I'll leave them both for you to try and share with your visitors.

Hi Jyrki,
Nice to see you have joined, have seen your comments for a while now. I am leaving you a plate of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to munch.

Jyrki to your own page in Sudokuland. I have brought you a warm, fresh baked blueberry pie to share with your guests.

Hi, Jurki!
And congratulations on your own page.
And I'm leaving for you a big tray of oriental sweets (baklava, kunafa etc.) to have some tea-coffee party.

Welcome to your new page Jyrki. Always see you posting on the medium. Leaving you some chocolate and a bottle of wine, the finest of course.

Hi Jyrki! to your own page! I've enjoyed reading your comments, and am glad you've "officially" joined us. I am leaving a pot of Cream of Crab Soup for you and your guests. I live on the East Coast of the U.S. very near the Chesapeake Bay where blue crabs are plentiful.
Stop by my place anytime, door's always open

Hello Jyrki. I think you have probably been doing the puzzles on this site longer then I have, so having your own page is long overdue. I have a tradition of leaving a double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry as a page warming gift, so I hope you enjoy sweets! Great to see you ahve joined the ranks!

Hi Jyrki. Here's some blue swimmer crabs fresh from the Hawkesbury River with some of my home made lime & chilli mayonaise to go with them! Greg's double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry goes down very well afterwards!

Hi Jyrki, to your own page. Here are some flowers from my garden for your new page.

Welcome Jyrki, well done!! Have seen you around for some time, at least long enough for you to know the madness you are joining!! More Aussie bubbly, and some Macadamia chocs to share with your guests. Enjoy!!!

PS
The sculptures are arranged around the shore line from Bondi Beach to Tamarama Beach in eastern Sydney on the Pacific Ocean.

Hi Jyrki. I have posted the answers to your queries about my brother's wooden pieces on the 'medium' Sudoku page but I will repeat them hear in case you miss them -
''Hi all, I have at last been able to contact my brother and found the answers to your questions.
The pieces were abstract art created from a hardwood called COOBA, it is a member of the acacia family, a river wattle from New South Wales and is fairly rare.
The three pieces were turned by lathe from square pieces of wood and were polished by sanding with increasingly finer grit sandpaper down to a final sanding with 2000 grain.
And yes, he is a talented craftsman (in my humble opinion).''
I hope this helps.

Hello Jyrki! I am stopping by to wish you a very . I hope you have a great day!

Happy Birthday to you, Jyrki! Your good humor and intelligence are very important additions to the site. Thanks for sharing with us.

Jyrki, a very to you. I've brought along a bottle of bubbly and a Choc Mud to help you celebrate. Have a great day and all the best wishes.

Hey Jyrki, Many Happy Returns and many more to come...

Jyrki
Let me begin with, I'm ever so sorry for not comming and welcoming you to your sudoku page earlier. I promise to drop in more often now.
Wishing you a very and hope your day is amazing.

Hey Jyrki - I hope you weren't offended by my comment re the pronounciation of your name - it's a shame Gath hasn't installed a page with "voice chat" then we could hear it! I was amused by the description of yourself at the blackboard!
Hope you had a great day.

Exotic fungus, fun sculpture!

G'day Jyrki, A very belated welcome to the boards. I must have had far too much time on my hands today because I have been looking at peoples' pages and I found yours which I had not seen before. Your photos are very interesting (but could you please explain to me the pig/duck photo?). Is it a big sculpture? You must take lots more photos of Finland and put them up for us as this way we will get know a bit more of your lovely country. Keep enjoying Sudoku. Cheers!!

Top of page one and now.....top of page two!

A bottle of bubbly to toast your new page.
POP!
Cheers.

Just dropping in to say I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year.

Mickey and family.

Have a wonderful Christmas and the happiest of New Years xx

Hi Jyrki. Just thought I'd drop in to say that I hope you and all you care for enjoy happiness and peace during this festive season and in all days to come! Best wishes for a Merry Christmas!

Jyrki,
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

A bit scary when there's no snow in parts of Finland in the depths of winter. All is not as it should be!

Jyrki! I hope the next year is the best ever. Enjoy your day.

A very happy birthday to you Jyrki, I hope you are having a wonderful day to celebrate your birth doing all sort of things that you enjoy and that you are with those people that you love. BTW, your son seems to be all arms and legs in your picture, hope he has grown into them!

Take care,
Aimee :-)

Hello Jyrki! - to you! I hope you have a wonderful day.

Jyrki! Have a wonderful celebration. Love your pictures by the way!

Jyrki, Hope this is the best birthday ever.

, Jyrki! We all miss you here on the sudoku site!

Jyrki and family! I haven't seen you posting much lately ... hope all is well!

Your comment about skylines is too true. The skyline photo of New York City will always remind me of that horror.
I saw a beautiful skyline photo of a sunset in NYC shortly after 9/11 and it prompted me to write this poem.

Towers in the Sunset

Towers in the sunset
Never more to be
A nightmare came in daylight
And blew them both away
Forever from the skyline
Crashing down in dust and ashes
Enveloping all the world
As our hearts
Were pierced by madness
We will never ever
Forget this act of horror
Because these empty spaces
Will exist for evermore
Upon the sunset skyline
Of the city of New York

Hi Jyrki.I left a comment for you on today's tough about AURs etc. Regards,Alfred.

Thanks for the reply Jyrki.Here is the non-AUR solution I was talking about (after UP 35):
When i6=7,h1=7=e2=d5,g2=6,h3=9=g5,g6=4=e4=d9=c7,i4=2,a4=7=c9 and row 9 is devoid of 9. So i6=4 etc.Regards,Alfred.

I've noticed that the author typically numbers the photos, probably for some filing system. It has nothing to do with the subject I don't think. I don't get the caption on this one.

I read your comment about Utah on today's Tough page and thought I'd offer you this article: http://creation.com/dancing-dinosaurs

Jyrki, just wanted to be the first to wish you a this year.

To quote The Beatles: "They say it's your birthday, It's my birthday too."

Jyrki,
Enjoy your special day. Wishing you peace, health & happiness today & through out the year.
