Dear Members,
Kathy's Corner
Things were very quiet this summer, in large part because
our good friend and former Consul General, Kirsti
Westphalen, said good bye to us and hello to her new
position as Finnish Ambassador in Bangkok, Thailand.
Although she officially left Los Angeles in August, she
took some well-deserved vacation time before then, and
our new Consul General did not start until September 3rd.
After all of the excitement in the last few years (e.g.,
FinnFest, fighting to keep the Consulate General in Los
Angeles, etc.), I think we all deserved to have some quiet
time.
Fall is here with a lot of action in the House of
Finland at the moment. We have had successful
events during the summer and more to come!
I'd like to mention the wonderful Midsummer
Dinner in June with Irma Niskala, Kati Nupponen
and Antti Kettunen mainly in charge. This was the
first time we had the Juhannus event in this format;
decorated dinner tables on the lawn, delicious food
and Finnish evergreen music in the background.
Birch trees from Silvola's Finnamex Nursery
decorated our House. This was a real nice way to
foster our Finnish Juhannus heritage and we will The Consulate General has completed its move and is
open for business. It is now in the West Los Angeles area,

FINNews PHOTO CHALLENGE
MU
KA
AN
!
Basic rules for better photography' is a new series starting in FINNews giving you basic tips on how to take
better photos. Paula from Paula Majid Photography takes you through the most common compositional
guidelines in photography so that you can train your "eye" for photography and take more interesting photos
than just quick snapshots.
And we at FINNews would love to see what you've captured! All you need to do is keep your cameras out and
take a photo of anything you find interesting applying the basic rules below. Then send us your favourite photo
by the deadline and FINNews will publish the best photo(s) with name(s) in the next FINNews issue. The
photos for the first challenge should be send in by October 31st to address terhi(at)houseoffinland.org.
All type of cameras, all ages, all topics are welcome as long as the photos are taken by you and they are not
insulting - no other rules! Don't be shy, strive for your inner creativity - this will be FUN!
Basic rules for better photography – Part 1
Nowadays more and more people and into photography. Better cameras in mobile our phones and decreasing
prices of DSLR cameras have made it easier for all of us to take photos everywhere. It's said that there's only
one rule in photography; There are no rules! However there are some basic composition guidelines that can help
you take more interesting and eye catching photographs. Once you are familiar with these tips, you'll spot them
everywhere, and you'll find it easy to see why some photos "work" while others feel more like snapshots.
Tip no. 1 - Rule of Thirds
Imagine that your image is divided into 9 equal segments by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines. The Rule of
Thirds says that you should position the most important elements in your scene along these lines, or at the
points where they intersect. Photographs work better when the area of interest is placed off-center. Some
cameras even offer an option to impose a rule of thirds over the LCD screen, making it even easier to use.
Keep your eyes open, your cameras in hand and start shooting using the Rule of Thirds. And don't forget to send
your favorite photo to FINNews by the end of October.
Looking forward to see your photos,
Paula Ikonen-Majid
Thank You! Kiitos!
Coronado Golf pointed out to be pleasant seaside
course with a seaside weather. Even there were only
few trees, most of time it felt like a forest, sun didn’t
burn us and wind helped to straighten up some curly
drives. Anyway, we reached our goal to have a fun day
and see some fellow golfers.
Here are final results with some calculations, which are
showing earned bogey points according given handicap.
As an addition, there are new handicap (calculated
according EGA system) and USGA handicap trend
calculated from this result only – neither one is official
and you can’t protest, if it is not the same that you
calculated yourself J No, I’m kidding, of course you
can protest! You see your personal par and earned
bogey point for each hole also.
Best players lowered their handicap, most of group
played according handicap and then rest of us went
pretty normal.

Congratulations to the Winners!
Warm thanks belongs to our sponsors House of Finland,

Thank you all once again for your enthusiastic attitude
and great team spirit. Special thanks to Northern guys,
who were eager enough to drove down to San Diego to
show us how to play.
See you on Dec-14 in the HOF Christmas Party

Nordic Night 2013
Pohjoismaiden yhteinen tapahtuma Balboa Parkissa
oli jalleen kerran onnistunut. Kaiken kaikkiaan
osallistujia oli noin 90, joista suomalaisia vain 7
urheaa.
Nuorten miesten bandi soitti erittain taidokkaasti
seka vanhempaa etta uudempaa jazzia. Kolmen
ruokalajin illanen oli maukas ja ruokaa oli
riittavasti viinista puhumattakaan.
Ensi vuonna toivon mukaan Suomen edustus olisi
edes hiukan parempi.
This year’s Scandinavian event was again a great
success. There were about 90 people, but only 7
brave Finns.
Young men played jazz like real professionals and
it was nice to hear both older and newer music.
Three course dinner was delicious and the bar had
some good wine.
Hopefully we have more Finns next year!

Kirjavinkkaus:
Tumman Veden Päällä - Peter Franzén
Lapsen elämässä jokainen päivä sisältää jotain uutta ja ihmeellistä ja
elämä koostuu pienistä hetkistä. Lapsi luottaa vanhempiinsa, jopa
sokeasti. Lapsi rakastaa ja luottaa ja uskoo ja toivoo...
Joskus lapsen on kuitenkin vaikea ymmärtää aikuisten käytöstä,
varsinkin silloin kun aikuisten käytös muuttuu niin, etta rakkauden
teot muuttuvat sellaisiksi, joita lapsi ei voi käsittää... Lapsuuden
idylli särkyy, mutta lapsi ei kyseenalaista samalla tavoin kuin
aikuinen. Vaikeiden Miksi-kysymysten vuoro on myöhemmin.
Tumman Veden Päällä on Peter Franzénin esikoisteos ja kertoo
lapsen näkökulmasta niinkin vaikeasta ja monisyisestä asiasta kuin
perheväkivalta. Kirja on fiktiivinen, mutta kertoo osittain Franzénin
omasta lapsuudesta. Kirja kertoo pojasta, joka varhaislapsuudessaan
joutuu elämään usean vuoden ajan perheväkivallan todistajana ja
kohteena isäpuolensa taholta.
Mutta kirja on paljon muutakin! Se on hauska ja herkkä ja riipaiseva
kasvukuvaus. Näkökulma on lapsen – väkivaltatekoihin ei jäädä
herkuttelemaan. Paljon jätetaan lukijan hahmotuskyvyn ja
mielikuvituksen tulkittavaksi. Kirja on täynnä lapsen hellyttäviä
huomioita ja tuntemuksia.
Vuonna 1971 syntynyt Peter Franzén vietti lapsuutensa Keminmaalla,
mutta asuu ja työskentelee nykyisin sekä Suomessa että
Yhdysvalloissa Etelä-Kaliforniassa. Franzén on nyky-Suomen
suosituimpia ja tuotteliaimpia näyttelijöitä, joka on esiintynyt
lukuisissa Suomi-elokuvissa viimeisen kahdenkymmenen vuoden
aikana. Elokuvaroolisuorituksista mainittakoon Puhdistus, Tie
Pohjoiseen, Prinsessa, Harjunpää ja Pahan Pappi, Rööperi, Pahat
Pojat, Rukajärven Tie, Kuutamolla jne.
Vuonna 2010 julkaistu Tumman Veden Päällä on Franzénin
esikoisromaani, joka on ajankohtainen juuri nyt, sillä kirjaan
pohjautuva elokuva sai juuri syyskuun alussa 2013 Suomen ensiiltansa. Elokuva on Franzenin esikoisohjaus ja hän esiintyy
elokuvassa sivuroolissa.
Elokuvakokemusta odotellessa kannattaa ehdottomasti lukea kirja,
joka on optimistinen ja antoisa lukukokemus vaikeasta aiheesta
huolimatta.
Above Dark Waters –
a book and movie
by Peter Franzén
Peter Franzén is better known in Finland
as a prolific actor, but his literary debut
in 2010 with the compelling growth story
Above Dark Waters was also a success.
Above Dark Waters book is fictional, but
is partially based on author’s own
childhood memories and experiences.
The book deals with the equivocal and
complicated
subject
of
domestic
violence. But the book is much more
than that – it is also a disarming and
funny, even if at times a bit distressing,
growth story written from a viewpoint of
a child. The book tells about the
everyday life a little boy who is a witness
of and subject to domestic violence by
his stepfather.
Currently the book is only available in
Finnish. Peter Franzén just debuted as a
film director in the movie based on his
book. The movie Above Dark Waters just
premiered in Finland in the beginning of
September 2013. The rumor tells that the
film might be shown later also in US…

puhe raikui. Leroy's Kitchen sai kehut hyvästä ruuasta ja
palvelusta. Tiimi suosittelee Coronadossa pyöräilyä kaikille!
